News from the Revolution in Rojava and Wider Kurdistan
The following interview was conducted with Ilham Ehmed, a member of the Executive Committee of the Movement For A Democratic Society (TEV-DEM), by Günay Aksoy Zana Kaya for Özgür Gündem. In the interview Ehmed talks about the current state of the civil war in Syria, recent attempts by the United States and Russia to develop alliances with the PYD and other parties in Rojava, and the efforts to create a democratic Syria. It has been translated into English below.
-The foundation of a new group called the Democratic Forces of Syria (HSD) has recently been announced. What role will this group have in the future of Syria?
There has been a war underway in Syria for a long time. Many different armed groups merged and many received substantial support from foreign powers. The regime has also gone on the attack without any mercy. And its attacks are still continuing. There are many things lacking. These different armed groups were never able to build alliances among each other. They fought against each other in an effort to destroy one another. In particular each group sought the support of either Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Turkey. As a result each group fought for the interests of the country from which it received support. For this reason no larger force emerged. Now this force is in the process of emerging from the Democratic Forces of Syria. These are democratic groups. The program and the project of this newly formed group will take as its principle the democratization of Syria. With the beginning of this new struggle undertaken by these groups are are seeing a new sunrise in Syria’s future. This situation will lead all groups in Syria in coming together in unity.
-For a time Turkey had been targeting the PYD and making threats. What does it mean that Turkey’s enmity toward Rojava is once again on the agenda?
Turkey has always adopted a hostile attitude regarding the Kurds. Turkey is now at a dead-end and in the middle of a deep crisis bordering on chaos. Everyone knows that Turkey does not want to solve its Kurdish problem. At every time and place it has wanted to start conflict and to drag the Kurds into this conflict. It has always been this way in North Kurdistan. In Rojava it supported criminal gangs. The issue is not only whether or not the Kurds will build a system. Turkey had interests in Syria. It wanted to fight in Syria in order to realize dreams that had been left over from its Ottoman legacy. For this reason Turkey has been constantly adopting a policy of enmity toward the Kurds. The Turkish state has just recently made some new statements. They made a lot nose and asked how it could be that ‘foreign powers were supporting the Kurds.” In particular they asked how it could be that the United States was supporting the Kurds. Turkey reacted very strongly. In fact the Kurds have always adopted a position of protecting the Turks. Turkey’s reaction was entirely misplaced. We know very well that Kurds have developed relations with Turks based on peace and friendship and want to continue to develop such relations. Such a strong reaction will only lead to Turkey defeating itself. Especially today, as the AKP government is attacking the PYD, the Kurds have been recognized by foreign powers. They said to themselves that there would not be a Syria without the Kurds. Up until now the PYD has been waging a relentless struggle. Great resistance and heroism have been exhibited in Rojava. Turkey is constantly angry because the PYD has been accepted as a legitimate party and is enraged by the fact that the Kurds in Rojava have come to possess a political system and status. For this reason they have attacked and targeted the Democratic Society Party (DTP).*
-Operations against Jarabulus and Rakka are on the agenda. How are Russia and the United States approaching these operations?
Projects for Syria have always been changing. They were going to offer support up to a point, to the banks of the Euphrates, and they have continued to offer such support. Russia is now intervening in Syria. This intervention has led to strong reactions on the part of other major powers. America was saying that it would solve the situation in Syria along its own lines. Now with the intervention of Russia, which is known as a revival of the United States, practical results are being achieved. For this reason as this intervention was developing it has developed new projects. Within this framework one can say that they are looking positively at a push against Jarabulus or Rakka.
-How is the relationship between the Rojava government and the United States and Russia important in terms of the democratization of Syria?
The Kurds have a project now. In particular we can talk about the project of a Movement for a Democratic Society. It is carrying on specific work toward the construction of a democratic Syria. Toward this end it has been working on a specific project for over six months. While the United States and Russia have accepted this project many, and in particular Russia, are not thinking about a Syria without Bashar al-Assad. The United States on the other hand has said that there cannot be a democratic Syria with Bashar al-Assad. And so there are contradictions here and negotiations will go forward on these foundations. Both ourselves as well as the United States and Russia want the democratization of Syria. Without our project we want to bring together all ethnicities, peoples and cultures. While Russia claims to be of the same mind and to want the same thing it also wants Bashar al-Assad to remain in Syria and to impose this. Whenever the terrorist groups fall into line and the regime comes to a certain point then there can be a chance for reaching out and making alliances.
-How will Russia’s de facto intervention in Syria and the attacks carried out by Turkey-supported ISIS on the al-Nusra Front and other terrorist groups affect the existence of these gangs in Syria?
We can characterize Russia’s strike against al-Nusra and its intervention against these terrorist groups as a kind of development and a step forward. It is thought that there are groups attached to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in Aleppo, however the situation is not as imagined. For example when al-Nusra entered Idlib all groups came under the sway of al-Nusra. al-Nusra did this. All the aid that came to these groups in fact went to al-Nusra. Just the other month a group that had been trained by the United States was immediately compelled to join al-Nusra as soon as it entered Syria. We saw how all of the weapons and supplies ended up under al-Nusra control. We can say that Russia’s intervention is aimed at clearing out al-Nusra. On the other side ISIS wants to advance as far as the city of Aleppo. Russia is also hitting them there. This is opening the way entirely for ISIS. The battle in the rural areas of Aleppo will get worse. Even so it is a good thing that Russia is striking at these groups. In the end there is no difference between ISIS and al-Nusra. Both of them are terrorist groups. What is important is whether or not we can move these other groups toward a more democratic foundation. Russia needs to show this kind of approach and attitude.
-How do you evaluate the massacre carried on the democratic forces in Ankara by ISIS and President Erdogan’s government?
The Ankara bombings and terrorist attack were an attack and a massacre carried out against all democratic forces. A new democratic understanding had been developing in Turkey. And the HDP was leading these efforts. The struggle of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) and those marching with it were gaining a new understanding from different democratic elements and different ethnicities. Turkey was scared by this and reacted accordingly. It terrified Turkey that a newly formed party which had won so many votes would attract just interest and sympathy. They began to ask themselves what would happen if a party that had come together so quickly could move forward even more. The AKP looked upon these democratic understanding as its own death. This attack and massacre was a part of a plan and program directed against free individuals and a free society.
-As part of the Rojava government you are taking part in international diplomatic meetings. Have you had any communication with the United States? How have your visits with them gone?
I can say that our meetings have gone well. The United States is a point of changing its thoughts about the Kurds. In the past it had fears and concerns. Like who were the Kurds dealing with and from whom were they getting support. They had a series of questions such as how many forces do they have and how much will they be able to resist. When we compare it with the past it appears in our most recent meetings that even if there are still many question marks in this latest process there was an atmosphere in which we sensed they had received answers to the questions they asked. They received their answers from both a theoretical and a practical perspective. In this meeting they didn’t ask “what is the level of relations between the regime and the PYD.” They let us know that they reached the opinion that our two forces were the fighting on the same front in regards to the subject of Syria. We also saw them use words along the lines of “we recognize you both as the military power in Rojava and your political will and that there is such a force.” They made it clear that they would support us. They made promises that they would support this project materially and in every other aspect. We can say that a new door and a new path is now being considered in the United States. They said that they would support the Kurds and work together with them in a diplomatic relationship built on friendship. In this respect we can say that the United States has opened a new diplomatic door.
We discussed the democratization of Syria more than any other topic. They asked us which groups have joined in this project. We made it clear that we have endeavoured so that every ethnic group in Syria would take part in this project. They looked very positively upon this project and said that they would support it. For us it was a surprise. The United States and Russia have discussed things amongst themselves and have come up with their own formula. As Obama and Putin met to discuss dividing up the tasks of who would attack which targets and who would stay away from which areas Russia immediately went into action which everyone else taking part in the meetings was upset with these actions and this attitude. They no longer knew what the other parties were doing. We went there and took part in the meetings. They were still debating what needed to be done. While the democratization of Syria urgently requires is the formation of a force. They immediately said they would support the newly formed Democratic Forces of Syria. I can say that there has been positive support against both terrorism and the regime’s dictatorship. They came out with the understanding that they would completely support the Kurds. As all of the details were being put onto the table we thoroughly discussed it all amongst ourselves. Right now Rojava occupies Turkey’s entire agenda.
-It is also known that Russia has wanted to establish good relations with the Rojava government. The fact that both Russia and the United States have sought to built an alliance with the government of Rojava has elicited strong reactions from Turkey. What level of effect will Turkey’s reaction regarding Rojava have on these two powers?
While Turkey is trying to change its own agenda with such warnings it also experiencing a period marked by deep chaos and stalemate. It started a war against the PKK. The PKK once again declared a period of ceasefire. Turkey has once again fallen into a hole. While Turkey’s government is attempting to start a war the PKK opted for a cease-fire. While Turkey is getting no where all major powers have requested that Turkey once again sit down at the table and enter into a dialog with the PKK. They want them to re-start the peace process. When Turkey attacks Rojava it is also attacking the foreign powers supporting Rojava. Turkey’s entire agenda is Rojava and the government of Rojava. While Turkey is drawing up meaningless schemes there strong reactions and attacks will not create anything for them. We have always wanted to develop a relationship of friendship and neighborliness with Turkey.

Pentecost 9 Prayer of the Day
The Prayer of the Day (Collect) is addressed to the Heavenly Father. “Though we do not deserve your goodness, still you provide for all our needs of body and soul.” The gospel lesson features the time Jesus fed five thousand men, plus women and children, with five loaves and two fish borrowed from the disciples’ picnic cooler. After everyone had eaten their fill, the disciples, ever the want not waste not sort, picked up twelve baskets of left overs. So, they ended up with far more than they had begun.
As the Prayer of the Day continues, it focuses on the work of the Holy Spirit. We ask the Father to give us the Holy Spirit that we might do three things. 1. Acknowledge your gifts. We have nothing that is not from the Father. 2. Give thanks for all Your benefits. That would include a boundless list beginning with life, and air, and water and food and our bodily functions and on and on including family and friends. Remember Martin Luther’s list in the catechism? 3. Serve You in willing obedience. Notice, it says, willing obedience. Not “Yeah, yeah God, if you insist, I guess I don’t have a choice, do I?”
We pray for all of this “through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.”
A lot to think about tomorrow in those 30 seconds of prayer. Worth talking about, maybe in place of the sermon. | <urn:uuid:46cf7fcc-4f8b-4d83-a58f-84d5a31b7fa7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thelutheranreview.org/2017/08/05/father-grant-the-holy-spirit/ | 2020-09-29T06:48:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.958133 | 337 |
Nevertheless, No matter what I achieved I never felt good enough, validated enough, or wanted enough. I ended up with a lot of anger, loneliness, and shame and no idea how to cope. My view of self became compartmentalize and I began separating my body from my soul, my soul from my mind, and my mind from my body. I was restricting the wholeness of my identity. What I needed was a soft place to land- somewhere to show up, be seen, and cared for not despite my imperfections but for them.
I have found that many of us have never had space that felt soft enough for us to be messy, fall down, and not feel too broken to get back up. Well, that is exactly what you will do with me. We open up, we get messy, and we fall a lot. However, we get back up a lot too. And when we discover the strength we have to stand up the fall stops feeling so important. You weren’t made to be perfect- you were made to be you, let’s find who that is.

November 13, 2020, 15:30, B2 bunker (ROK Military Joint Command Center), Yongsan-ku, Seoul
The scene of the battle showing the attacking Chinese soldiers on board burned trucks and Korean forces firing their 50-mm photon cannons and Black Dragon missiles was being broadcast on the Command Center's screen.
Then moments later, the gunshots came to a halt, indicating the annihilation of all Chinese soldiers. The Koreans' armored vehicles stopped their attacks as well, then the infantrymen aboard poured out from the rear hatch. The men began to help the injured and moved them to a safe location. The video on the screen paused.
"The logistics forces sent out the footage at exactly 1412h, and the attackers have been identified as the Special Forces directly under the 39th Army Group. It seems they had prepared for an ambush in the mountainous regions where their army group was attacked during the start of the war."
The Operations Director spoke when the footage came to a halt. | <urn:uuid:b0909909-d734-4b88-b4bf-4f6fdae70711> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://webnovel.online/21st-century-goguryeo/book-5-chapter-123 | 2020-09-29T08:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.970044 | 201 |
Meet Anna. We met when I was the photographer at the "Back To The Prom" event sponsored by the Sharon Education Foundation. I took this image of her that night. We connected. I knew we had to work together. I had been dying to get someone to work with me to experiment with different lighting styles and different ideas I had ruminating in my head. I knew she was the perfect person to team up with.
Fast forward to January 2018. We planned a time to get together. I couldn't have asked for a better subject. We had such a great time.
For this first image, I wanted harsh light and shadows. I also wanted a serious mood, with some sadness. What do you think? Did we achieve it?
Here, I was trying to get harsh shadows for a cool 2 person effect.
I'm sure glad Anna was having fun, because I was loving the session. I had been dying to experiment.
A very mysterious look here.
There is a whole different feel when you take away the harsh shadows and add some color. I love the elegant lines created by her arm and hand.
Totally different look here just by changing the pose.
The mischievous look juxtaposed with the more formal attire is fun to look at.
Okay, so hats just bring out the fun in some people.
This image brings Vermeer's "Girl With The Pearl Earring" to mind. I think it is the blue of the hat with the black background. I LOVE that painting.
I can't get enough of this one! Her body disappeared into the black background below the top of her dress so the image is center focused with energy. The expression is priceless. I love how comfortable she is with me.
Try not to smile when you look at this one.
It's all fun and games until someone looses a feather!
This is my favorite image of the session. It inspired me to create a different version of the image, a composite created by combining other images I have taken. The building is in Borderland, the one used in the movie, Shutter Island. Add a snake from the zoo and some texture and smoke..............
and this is the result.
Photography has brought me many new friends, Anna is a very special one. She has allowed me to grow more as a photographer. We met this morning for tea and she graciously gave me permission to share these images. I would love your feedback
After 31 years of teaching, I have decided to retire and start a new chapter of my life as a photographer. It has been my passion for about 7 years now. | <urn:uuid:ac684080-28f3-4458-a5f3-7df0e025bc31> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.amfordphotography.com/blog/experimenting-with-photography | 2020-09-29T06:19:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.978178 | 543 |
Ashville Volleyball Ready for Season Ahead
Ashville Volleyball recently returned from a volleyball camp at Auburn University directed by Auburn Head Volleyball Coach, Rick Nold.
"Coach Nold is experienced and disciplined, but he also knows how to build a team with great relationships and teamwork," said Ashville Varsity Volleyball Head Coach Mara Mattison after the camp. "We appreciate any opportunity for our girls to gain experience on the court as well as in building relationships that lead to success."
Ashville Varsity Volleyball Assistant Coach Denise Mattison believes that building relationships within the team is key to creating a competitive group. "We, as coaches, as well as players, are taking this time to get to know our freshmen. We also need our seniors to play cohesively and learn one another to play with leadership, determination, and spirit. We spent, as a team, over two hours talking and learning about each other to try to build a foundation on which we can construct success for the season."
Both coaches were optimistic about the upcoming season. "We are eager," Coach Denise Mattison said. "We played in a local tournament a couple of weeks ago and made it to the semifinals.

Most bankruptcy lawyers can help advise debtors on whether they should in fact file for bankruptcy or whether other options may be more practical. Prior to filing bankruptcy, debtors may still in fact receive letters from credit card companies telling them that they have been pre-approved for a credit card despite the debtor having terrible credit. Credit card companies prey on these types of debtors so that they may charge very high interest rates and plunge a debtor further into debt. If you are a debtor considering filing bankruptcy, you should wait until after you file your bankruptcy petition to sign up for new credit cards. This is because all of your pre-petition credit card accounts are likely to be shut down and closed. By signing up for credit cards after filing bankruptcy, it allows you to re-build your credit. The key is to make sure that you are able to pay off your credit cards every month, as your new credit cards may be at a higher interest rate than before. Because credit card companies know that you cannot file for chapter 7 bankruptcy for another 8 years from your original filing date, they are more than willing to extend a post bankruptcy debtor credit.
If you decide that you do not wish to receive promotional marketing or pre-approved credit card offers from credit card companies, then according to this bankruptcy law article, all you need to do is “call 1-888-567-8688 and provide some information into the automated system. Once completed, you will be protecting yourself for two (2) years. You can also request information to make this a permanent feature.” You may want to consider taking this action if bankruptcy is not going to be an option for you moving forward and you do not want to be harassed any longer by credit card companies.
If you are in need of a home loan or refinance after filing a bankruptcy case that may also be possible. Lenders allow most debtors to qualify for home loans after 2 years from the date of filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy case that receives a discharge and only one year or no wait time at all if in a chapter 13 or your case has been dismissed with no discharge order entered.

Would you let a Doctor into your Genes?
Taking the time to look after ones skin is essential in this day in age - stress, lifestyle, diet, environmental factors - they all play a part in how our skin looks and feels. With change of climate our skin can become more dry or more oily, if we are indulging in too much vino and not enough H20 we can become dehydrated, and if we are stressed or run down we can look aged and exhausted.
A lot of people do the bare minimum when it comes to skincare, investing in some makeup remover and moisturiser but rarely taking the time to learn about what their skin really needs and what products are going to best benefit them. Many think that they are oily skin just because they develop a little shine in their Tzone, but this in fact is the sign of a quite normal skin type.
The team at Celcius (www.celcius.com.au 08 8274 1111) are qualified skin therapists who will not only help you identify what skin type and condition you are but also recommend the right products and treatments that will help you look and feel amazing.

This 60 minute facial uses the Hydropeptide skincare range which, as the name suggests is full of peptides which provide huge benefits for your skin. Cleansers, exfoliators, peel pads, serums, moisturizers and eye creams are just some of the products in the Hydropeptide range that are targeted to your needs - whether it be to detox or clarify, or for someone who is concerned with lines or has sensitive skin. The Hydropeptide skincare uses epigenetic science which encourages the genes that essentially signal cells to act healthy and discourages the ones that don’t. A lot of how we look and how we age is determined by our genes but with skincare that uses this science as well as incorporating the benefits of peptides, you can be assured that you are taking the right steps to achieving and maintaining flawless and radiant skin.
Speak with the team at Celcius today to make an appointment for a Hydropeptide facial. Not only will they customize a skincare regimen that will be perfect for you but you will get 60 minutes of uninterrupted pamper time that your skin will forever be thankful for!

Lockdown – an opportunity?
Lockdown – an opportunity?
The unprecedented last few months have provided a pause for many, provoking thoughts about what they really value in life.
At Creaseys, we work with clients to understand their ‘Bigger Picture’ – what makes them tick, what’s important to them and crucially where they want to get to – so we can support them on their journey to get there.
In conversations with clients during lockdown we have discovered more about what they have appreciated during this time and, for some, the changes they would like to make as we ease out of it.
Simple pleasures such as being able to eat together as a family, additional free time without the commute or opportunities to get outdoors and exercise more have prompted questions from clients about the changes they’d like to make in their lives.
Are there things you want to do? Would you – could you – work less? Do you have the information you need to make decisions? Are you ready to think about an exit strategy from the business? Are there gifts you’d like to make?
Here are just a few of the things we’ve been discussing with individuals and businesses:
This period of reflection has led to some of our clients considering how they can protect their families and provide for them in the long term. We have worked closely with them in assessing their objectives and considering the setting up of investment vehicles allowing wealth to accumulate for younger generations, whilst allowing the older generation to retain control for the time being.
Wills and gifts
More time at home and the pandemic’s health risks has prompted clients to review and consider updating their Wills; indeed for some getting one in place. We’ve been talking to clients about steps they might take to protect their family wealth from inheritance tax. Gifting can be an important part of this which can prompt questions regarding control of assets as well as when is an appropriate time? And how much? We support our clients to help them make informed decisions.
Our sister business Creaseys Wealth has been sharing lots of content about individual’s personal financial situations in recent weeks, and we wanted to share one of their latest pieces with you. When it comes to managing finances, we know that technical excellence is imperative, but have you ever thought about the emotional benefits of working with a trusted financial adviser? Here they highlight the importance of having a relationship with your adviser that covers facts and feelings. Find out more.
Tax payments reminder
Some of our clients will be taking advantage of the opportunity to delay the payment of their 31 July self-assessment payment on account to 31 January next year. This can be done without incurring interest or penalties.
For businesses and their owners:
Exit and succession planning
For many business owners, the day-to-day running of a business can often take precedence over thinking about the future. Once up and running they set their long-term goal to either sell the business or pass it on to the next generation and then work hard in the business to make this happen. However, the last few months has brought many clients plans back into focus as they have been forced to consider not only the short-term impact on their businesses, but also to take a step-back and review their long-term plan.
Clients are asking questions such as, ‘Is now a good time to sell?’, ‘How much is my business worth now?’, or ‘What do I need to do now to achieve a sale?’. For a few clients the experience over the last few months has lead them to want to accelerate their exit plans and re-evaluate what is next, and they want to know ‘Will the sales proceeds be enough to fund my retirement?’. We have worked alongside our clients to help them understand the answer to these questions; the solutions have not always been obvious. We have ensured our clients understand their options and what each means for them.
Due to the rapidly changing economic environment over the last few months, entrepreneurial clients have taken the opportunity to review their corporate structures to assess whether certain assets should be protected from volatile trading businesses. For some this has resulted in groups being restructured and assets such as property and intellectual property being transferred to holding companies so they are separated from the underlying trading businesses.
Enhanced management reporting
More than ever, clients are investing greater effort into preparing more detailed and more timely management information. Circumstances have meant business-owners wanting to review more detailed management information on a weekly, rather than monthly (or even quarterly) basis, to be able to make crucial decisions more swiftly. They have wanted to make greater use of their accounting software to identify profitable and weaker areas of the business. We have been supporting clients to optimise use of the budgeting tools in their accounting packages, such as Xero, Sage and QuickBooks, allowing them to track actual performance against their COVID-19-revised forecasts.
Cash flow monitoring
When lockdown began, our message to clients was ‘cash is king’ and that the preservation of liquidity during uncertain times had to be a priority for business-owners. We‘ve seen clients of all sizes making huge changes to how they monitor their cash flow requirements; those with advanced cash flow management systems in place before COVID-19 have adapted their reporting to stress test a variety of scenarios, from the very pessimistic to the moderately optimistic, allowing them to make business-critical decisions at the earliest opportunity; and those who previously had little appetite for detailed cash flow forecasting models have very quickly needed to build these from the ground up. With the Job Retention Scheme soon coming to an end, cash flow monitoring and forecasting have been – and will continue to be – imperative for our clients.
We can provide support and advice to enable you to make an informed decision about your next steps and are experienced in putting a plan together to help you achieve your dreams.

Understanding the difference between cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing is vital if you want to effectively remove many diseases like E. coli or coronavirus. Whether you own a restaurant ice machine, hospital ice maker or any other commercial ice machine, eliminating contaminants is key to ensuring the safety of your customers and employees.
In this article, we’ll discuss the different processes involved with cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing, as well as the best solutions to use. All three work together to help reduce the spread of infectious diseases. However, not all surfaces require all three methods. We’re here to share the best practices to keep your employees and customers safe.
What Exactly is Cleaning?
The term “cleaning” is used a lot in everyday conversation. It can be confused with other terms like washing, disinfecting, or sanitizing. However, the CDC has a very specific definition for cleaning:
Cleaning is a process that “removes germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces or objects.” The process involves using soap or detergent to physically remove dirt, grime, or germs from a surface.
Keep in mind, this doesn’t mean that it kills microscopic germs like bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fungi. It merely removes them to reduce the chances of spreading infection. The effectiveness of this process is very much dependent on how long and how thorough someone is as they clean.
What is Disinfecting?
Disinfecting is the process of killing unwanted germs using a chemical disinfecting agent. Keep in mind, while disinfecting may kill germs from a surface, it doesn’t necessarily clean the surface of dirt or grime.
There are many EPA-approved disinfecting agents on the market. Certain microorganisms, whether they are bacteria, viruses, fungi, or protozoa, react differently to certain products. Some agents are more effective on certain microorganisms than others. In addition, some agents require more contact time to fully kill off the targeted microorganism. Manufacturers often label the amount of solution and the contact time their agents need to fully disinfect against specific germs, so make sure to follow the manufacturers’ recommendations.
Certain surfaces, like food contact surfaces, must be rinsed thoroughly after disinfecting. Leaving a high concentration of disinfectant on the surface can be toxic, which is dangerous if you’re preparing or serving food on the surface. After rinsing a disinfected food contact surface with water, you’ll also want to sanitize with a food-grade solution mixed at EPA-approved concentration levels and allow it to dry.
Disinfecting is best done after cleaning a surface. Dirt and grime can insulate germs, leaving them to thrive underneath. Make sure to clean the area so the disinfecting agent has plenty of contact time to work.
What is Sanitizing?
Sanitizing a surface reduces the number of bacteria to levels that are considered safe by public health standards.
The process of sanitizing requires the use of an EPA-approved sanitizing solution or high-heat treatment. Just like disinfecting agents, there are many EPA-approved sanitizing products on the market. Some are more effective at sanitizing against certain germs than others. As always, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to find the correct concentration rate and contact time to achieve the desired result.
When using a sanitizing agent, leave the solution on the surface to air dry. This gives the solution time to sanitize the surface. Once this is done, the area is considered “sanitary” until someone touches it with their hands or other unsanitary objects.
This process is especially important on food contact surfaces. A food contact surface is any surface where food is either prepared or served. This includes ovens, microwaves, cutting boards, and tabletops. Since the FDA considers ice a food, your ice machine and bin are also considered a food contact surface. This is why cleaning your ice bin, is so important. These areas must be free of germs, but also non-toxic.
You do not rinse cleaners from the surface during sanitizing. Also, sanitizers must be mixed at EPA-approved concentration rates, so they will not do any bodily harm.
What is a Food-Grade Solution?
If you run a restaurant or bar that serves food, you’ll want to use a food-grade solution to clean, sanitize, or disinfect a food contact surface.
Many agencies, including the FDA and USDA, have a list of approved detergents and sanitizers that are safe to use on food contact surfaces.
It’s important to note that just because a cleaner is considered food-grade does not mean you can use it however you want. Cleaners need to be used according to federal and manufacturers’ guidelines. Sanitizing a food contact surface with a higher concentration than recommended is unsafe and thereby not “food safe” any longer. We’ve put together a great resource on ice machine cleaners here.
Cleaning vs Sanitizing vs Disinfecting: Which Should You Do?
You can do all three if you want, but to save time, money, and energy, the type of surface will dictate which process you use.
For instance, you don’t need to sanitize your ceilings, since customers and staff won’t likely touch those. Granted, if they are dirty, you’ll want to clean them.
Cleaning is recommended on all surfaces, especially considering that disinfecting and sanitizing are far less effective on soiled surfaces.
Disinfecting is important on surfaces that people will likely touch, but not eat from. These include chairs, tables, and toilets. You should also disinfect areas on appliances that are not food contact surfaces but do see a lot of use, like refrigerator handles.
Sanitizing is useful on any surface that sees a lot of human contact, but especially on food grade surfaces. While you can sanitize in conjunction with cleaning and disinfecting, you always need to sanitize last. Since water is not sanitary, you would defeat the purpose of sanitizing if you rinsed the area.
How Do I Clean a Surface?
Cleaning is a process most people know. Use soap or detergent to wipe the area free of any dirt or grime. Afterward, rinse the area with clean water.
How Do I Disinfect a Surface?
To disinfect, apply an EPA-approved disinfectant to the surface you would like to disinfect. If the disinfectant you are using requires diluting with water, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s label to find the right concentration.
Next, allow the solution to sit on the surface for the duration recommended on the label. Contact times often range between 1 and 10 minutes.
Finally, make sure to rinse the area thoroughly with potable water.
How Do I Sanitize a Surface?
When sanitizing, apply the sanitizing product to the area you wish to sanitize. If your product requires diluting, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for sanitizing to find the proper concentration.
Next, make sure the solution stays wet for the recommended time.
Finally, allow the mixture to air dry.
Don’t Forget Your Ice Machine
Keep in mind, disinfecting and sanitizing will rid a dirty ice machine of germs, but it does not protect your ice machine between cleanings. Even if you follow a strict ice machine cleaning schedule, a person can easily contaminate an area minutes later if they don’t practice proper food and ice handling techniques. While germs like Covid-19 won’t grow on ice, mishandled ice does carry germs – and it’s up to you and your staff to make sure that never happens. If you are not sure how to clean an ice machine, we’ve put together a guide for you. | <urn:uuid:0516a43e-b6f6-4d36-814b-221c60e4c70e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.easyice.com/what-is-the-difference-between-cleaning-sanitizing-or-disinfecting/ | 2020-09-29T07:52:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.936155 | 1,681 |

When reinventing an automotive icon, manufacturers are required to preserve the ethos of the original model while bringing the concept in line with modern technology. A difficult balance to achieve, but one the LEVC (London EV Company) claim to have done with the new TX.
To achieve the performance and efficiency levels demanded of modern vehicles, the TX represents a complete redesign compared to its predecessors. To enable this new approach, LEVC requested the involvement of Optimas Solutions.
A large battery pack and electric motor provides a pure EV range of over 70 miles – whilst the petrol range extender, a portable generator for the battery, takes total range of the vehicle up to 377 miles. The Electric Taxi will meet stringent emissions level restrictions in London and cities across Europe.
The new TX features a six seat configuration and a forward facing wheelchair position, coupled with a panoramic glass roof. On-board Wi-Fi as well as laptop and USB charging ports are available as standard. Furthermore, the it has a fully aluminium body in order to save weight and improve range.
However, redesigning an icon from the ground up requires consistent thinking from the smallest components upwards, as Ian Carvell, European Engineering Director at Optimas explained: “Specifying suitable fasteners and bolts to achieve a pioneering vehicle while minimising the cost to the manufacturer is a fine balance. That is why at Optimas we involved ourselves from the initial design phase of the project, so we could begin rationalising component options from the first preliminary builds. By this methodology, we could work in tandem with LEVC to tackle the engineering challenges associated with a new vehicle platform.”
Daniel Pereira, UK Engineering Manager at Optimas expanded: “What we are trying to achieve is increased supply chain simplicity by offering suitable alternative parts that can be delivered to tight deadlines. For example one of the first hurdles for this project was to ensure the verification prototypes were ready for the winter testing and shakedown season. Missing this window would delay the project by a year, which is unacceptable to LEVC and its investors. Therefore, we utilised parts that were reliable and freely available, or engineered alternatives where there was no stock forthcoming to ensure that LEVC could adhere to its testing schedule.”
“We held weekly ‘Fastener Clinics’ at three different design consultancies (Ricardo, Envisage and Emerald), so we could keep pace with the changing requirements of LEVC throughout the research and development process. By this regular contact, we were able to actively manage the bill of materials in order to supply parts for various new TX prototype stages to tight deadlines, despite the fact that many of the application challenges did not have officially released parts,” Carvell elaborates. “Considering the new TX incorporates over 2,000 individual parts designed specifically for the project, it was vital we kept regular contact to ensure we could integrate seamlessly with LEVC’s component requirements.”
The new TX will be introduced to British roads over the course of 2018, with models due to be exported to cities in Europe and Asia. LEVC isa able to produce 20,000 units at its new £325 million production facility. | <urn:uuid:cc9525b9-4b86-4d74-bf70-cad146506cba> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.engineerlive.com/content/creating-black-cab-future | 2020-09-29T07:38:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.947754 | 650 |
Wright Express Corporation, in collaboration with IHS, said its Construction Fuel Consumption Index (FCI) increased 4.5% in May and is 5.1% higher than May 2011.
The Construction FCI measures national fuel consumption statistics for the construction industry by analyzing transaction data from the Wright Express network of more than 180,000 fuel and vehicle maintenance locations, including over 90% of domestic fuel retailers and 45,000 vehicle maintenance locations. The FCI is intended to provide an up-to-date indication of U.S. construction activity.
Last month’s Wright Express Construction FCI accurately depicted weakness evident in many of the government’s subsequent releases of construction data. Construction spending excluding improvements declined 0.2% in April. Private nonresidential spending decreased by 0.2%, although private residential construction excluding improvements rose 2.1%. Total construction put in place increased by 0.3% in April.
According to IHS analysis, the Construction FCI's up-and-down movement in recent months suggests that the industry’s recovery remains fragile. After three years of depressed construction,new housing inventory is beginning to tighten. New home sales rose 3.3% in April, and estimates for the previous three months were revised upward. The new home sales market is unquestionably improving, although activity is still less than half of normal. Inventory continues to shrink, and builders are expected to replenish stocks by ramping up starts once demand rebounds.
Getting rid of excess housing could, nevertheless, drag on. The homeowner vacancy rate measuring the proportion of homes that are vacant and for sale was 2.3% at the end of 2011, suggesting a glut of about half a million houses. Eliminating the housing surplus could take less than two years at the current pace, but will probably take longer because it is concentrated in a few high-unemployment states. | <urn:uuid:f006dee4-acec-4ed0-8f52-1620c0199108> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.forconstructionpros.com/business/press-release/10734997/wright-express-corp-us-constructionindustry-fuel-use-up-45-in-may-51-over-12-months | 2020-09-29T07:50:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.95074 | 383 |
Inspired by a trip to Tokyo, the notorious brand Superdry was founded in Great-Britain in 2003, from the impulse of 2 brilliant minds: Julian Dunkerton (founder of "Cult" in 1985) and James Holder (founder of "Bench" in 1992). Read more about Superdry...
After a successful introduction within the Cult brand, the very first Superdry store opened its doors in 2004. The brand’s DNA is defined by an American vintage sportwave spirit combined to hand-drawn iconic Japanese graphics. Add a few trendy designs, some quality materials and an authentic colour fading technique into the mix and you get the secret behind the success of the British brand.
If the first collection only had five t-shirt models, Superdry now offers thousands of articles with no less than 500 different logos. In 2010, more than one million windproof jackets were sold and the SuperGroup to which the brand belongs entered the stock market.
And then, we would have to wait until the 2014 winter for Superdry Snow to be launched with a full range of high-performance ski and snowboard clothing in accordance with the excellence criteria the brand has set itself in terms of design and technicity. Staying warm and stylish is now possible with the Superdry ski jackets and pants. Subtle or flashy, the choice is yours. All that’s left is to choose a nice little beanie and you are ready to go! | <urn:uuid:4d437799-d1db-4178-8ca6-d0365ca919ef> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.glisshop.co.uk/brand/superdry/ | 2020-09-29T08:52:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.94178 | 291 |
Our expert says:
Dear Low GI
I have also heard of this product which is supposed to lower the GI of foods which will then lower your blood sugar and insulin levels. The product is supposed to contain galactose and mannose extracted from thorn trees, and this combination may well lower blood sugar and insulin levels. I can, however, not guarantee that this product will not cause abdominal discomfort or cause diarrhoea if used in large quantities. You can certainly give the product a try, but do remember that there are many foods that have a low GI and that you can lower the GI of foods by combining them with other low-GI foods (e.g. adding low-fat milk or yoghurt to a high-GI breakfast cereal will lower the GI of the latter). Click on 'Diet' and 'Weight loss' and 'The right approach' and read the articles on the GI.

5 Makeup Products Inspired by Your Tarot ReadingOctober 18, 2019
Tarot can help guide you in various choices throughout your everyday life — and it can also help determine your beauty routine. That’s right — depending on what card you pull, tarot helps tap into your intuition, and according to spiritual advisor Carmen Mayes, “it can give you insight on how to look and feel your best.” After you’ve learned how to incorporate tarot into your daily routine, try using your reading as inspiration for new beauty products to try. Ahead, we rounded up five common cards and makeup products that you’ll want to get your hands on for each reading you pull.
Queen of Wands
According to Mayes, “if you pull a Queen of Wands — it’s time to radiate confidence and express yourself.” And what better way than a bold, red lip to help you do so? Wet Vermillion by YSL is a lightweight water stain that will make you feel comfortable inside and out, all while packing a punch with its potent pigment.
The High Priestess
The High Priestess card embodies mystery and connecting with the higher power within oneself, which is why Lip Chemistry is our top choice for this reading. This color changing pH-reactive lippie blends with the natural pH levels of your lips to create your own unique shade when you wear it — and if that’s not representative of your inner instincts, we’re not sure what is.
If you pull the Empress, you’re in tune with femininity, nature and creativity, which makes a multi-tasking product a no-brainer for you. Inspired by the glowing Empress on the card — who wears a crown of stars on her head and sports long, luscious locks — we chose Brown Sugar to capture the golden luminosity of her aura.
The Lovers represent choices in relationships, so a multi-colored eyeshadow palette like Venus is symbolic of the card. Venus contains pinks, reds, browns and a shimmery white — all different shades to mix and match like different paths you must choose in relationships. No combination of two of these colors will look the same as the others, just like no relationship looks the same.
If you pull The Magician card, the message is to tap into your full potential. The iridescent shimmer of Phantasm brings this idea to life, thanks to its holographic, rainbow finish. When looking at the glitter from afar, you might not think it’s much, but upon glancing at it longer, you’ll see the flecks and sparkles come to life. | <urn:uuid:3af75b4a-ac6d-42f3-a27e-2c4192db0fbe> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.makeup.com/product-and-reviews/all-products-and-reviews/makeup-products-inspired-by-tarot-reading | 2020-09-29T08:36:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.924041 | 556 |
Ernest Chemists Donates Medical Supplies To Tamale Teaching Hospital
The Tamale Teaching Hospital (TTH) has taken delivery of quantities of drugs amongst other valuable consumables to help in delivering quality health care to patients.
The drugs and consumables included hand sanitisers, blood tonic, multi-vitamin for children, folic acid, BP drugs, cough syrup, and gloves.
Ernest Chemists Limited, a pharmaceutical company, donated the drugs and consumables to the TTH to support the hospital and national efforts at fighting COVID-19 pandemic in the country.
Mr Samuel Zangu, Credit Controller at Ernest Chemist, who presented the items on behalf of Management of the company to authorities of TTH in Tamale, expressed hope that the items would go a long way to improve care for patients and help to return lives to normalcy in the country.
The country confirmed two cases of COVID-19 on March 12, and so far, the number of confirmed cases had risen to 636.
Dr Kareem Mumuni, Acting Chief Executive Officer of TTH, who received the items, said they had come at the right time when the hospital was playing a crucial role in providing care for some of the COVID-19 patients in the country.
Currently, two COVID-19 patients are receiving treatment at the TTH, and TTH medical officers are also providing care for seven other COVID-19 patients at a quarantine facility in Tamale.
Dr Mumuni appealed to other individuals, groups and corporate bodies to emulate the gesture of Ernest Chemists Ltd and support the hospital in its efforts to provide quality health care for patients since government alone could not do it all. | <urn:uuid:aff30f9a-23f8-40cf-9461-63b341a9bbb2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.modernghana.com/news/995628/ernest-chemists-donates-medical-supplies-to-tamale.html | 2020-09-29T08:36:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.953828 | 353 |
QUEBEC, Jan. 1, 2018 /CNW Telbec/ - SSQ Financial Group, the sixth largest life insurer in Canada, is starting the year off with a new brand identity and positioning. The company wants to embrace its insured community and wholeheartedly affirm its true nature: insurance. SSQ Financial Group will now be known as SSQ Insurance with a new tagline: Communities make us.
This shift supports an ambition to make its brand even stronger. The "Insurance" descriptor reflects the company's strategic positioning as a pan-Canadian insurer, putting emphasis on what has been its core business for nearly 75 years.
"The new brand identity, along with the "Communities make us" tagline, reiterates the fact that the company has been motivated by an unparalleled sense of solidarity since its creation in 1944. The positioning sets the tone for a clear commitment: SSQ Insurance will continue to be present in the community, be socially responsible and be committed to serving its insured community. Now more than ever, community should be at the heart of insurance because stronger communities make each of us stronger," says Jean-François Chalifoux, CEO of SSQ Insurance.
"Values of social commitment, integrity and accessibility are what drive us and guarantee our long-term stability. They influence our daily decisions and our actions, and are what make us a people company. Apart from our brand identity and positioning, SSQ Insurance remains the same dedicated company that provides its customers with a comprehensive line of high quality insurance and investment products," adds Chalifoux.
SSQ Insurance wants to foster a sense of belonging in its customers and partners, and reiterate it through each point of contact. This will make the company even more connected and closer to its customers making it easier to learn from them and better understand their needs. This ultimately gets the company back to its roots, to the very essence of insurance and to the role SSQ Insurance wants to play. Over the next few years, the company will work on becoming the preferred insurance destination of its customers.
The new logo is dynamic and modern with a crisper, more fluid font that, while paying homage to its humble beginnings, represents the company's ongoing evolution. Its new brand identity evokes positivity and modernization, with values steeped in solidarity. To support this change, a new promotional campaign was recently kicked off in Quebec and will be deployed across Canada in the coming months.
The new brand takes effect on January 1, 2018, whereas the new visual identity will be deployed gradually over the coming months.

Dr. Francis C. Corrigian and the specialists at Solas Health—with offices located in Pinehurst, Cary, and Fayetteville, North Carolina—recommend Suboxone (buprenorphine) for their medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program targeting opiate addiction. They believe the judicious use of this medication provides an opportunity for recovery from drug addiction and the chaos it creates.
Solas Health has 10 buprenorphine certified providers, and we provide medication assisted treatment of opioid use disorder at all locations. All substance use disorder patients will have a thorough medical evaluation. We will develop and customized treatment plan based on each patient’s individual needs. Because we are in network with more than 25 different insurances, including Medicaid, so most insured patients never have to pay more than their copay or deductible in order to have the best treatment available. We believe that our style of outpatient treatment will provide the best medical evidence-based care possible.
The medication prevents opiate withdrawal syndrome. The significant physical discomfort caused by this syndrome is the reason many individuals give for failing to conquer their addiction.
Early symptoms of opiate withdrawal occur in the first 24 hours after stopping the drug and include:
Symptoms occurring after the first full day off opiates are typically more intense and include:
The FDA has approved Suboxone for treating opiate addiction. The experienced healthcare team at Solar Health believes the drug is quite safe when used judiciously and as prescribed. As is the case with any drug, including those as commonplace as antibiotics, side effects can occur. Misuse of the drug can create potentially serious medical issues. However, should you choose to take Suboxone, the team at Solas Health will monitor your progress closely and evaluate your physical health frequently. Dr. Corrigan invites individuals interested in hearing more about Suboxone to contact the offices of Solas Health for an evaluation and consultation regarding MAT in general and the use of Suboxone as an aid in overcoming opiate addiction.
Solas Health is in network with most insurance plans and we file most insurance claims electronically. Here is a partial list of insurance plans we are in network with: | <urn:uuid:c314db17-dedb-44b7-a01f-6346fc332ec3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.painmanagementofnc.com/services/suboxone | 2020-09-29T06:38:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.949595 | 445 |

Summary: When Jesus talks about us denying ourselves, taking up a cross & following Him – what does He mean? What does the Bible teach about "cross-bearing?" (PowerPoint available - #256)
MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER
RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK
(PowerPoints used with this sermon are available free of charge. Just e-mail me at email@example.com & request #256.)
This morning I want us to look at a passage of Scripture found in Mark 8:34-35. "Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples & said: ‘If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself & take up his cross & follow me.
“For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me & for the gospel will save it.’"
You have heard this Scripture before, haven’t you? But when Jesus talks about us denying ourselves & taking up a cross & following Him – what does that mean?
Well, we’re going to discuss that in just a few moments. But before we do, I believe that we ought to realize 2 things about Jesus.
A. First of all, there is the startling honesty of Jesus. Jesus never tries to bribe us by the offer of an easy life.
Many missionaries understand what Jesus meant when he said, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself & take up his cross & follow me.” It’s not an easy road! And Jesus never sought to lure people to Him by the offer of an easy way.
ILL. Some of you will remember that in the early days of WW2, when Winston Churchill took over the leadership of England, all that he offered his people was "blood, sweat & tears." And that is very much like what Jesus offers to His followers, too.
B. Secondly, Jesus never calls upon us to do anything that He was not prepared to do Himself. What He asks us to face, He has already faced. And when He calls upon us to take up a cross, He, Himself, has already borne one for us.
That goes against the grain of what the world teaches. The world teaches that anything that bothers us or becomes difficult, we should avoid. Sadly, some churches seem to have adopted that attitude, too.
And yet, the words of Jesus are still there, "If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself & take up his cross & follow me."
PROP. What did He mean? What does it mean to "take up" or "bear a cross”? What does the Bible teach about "cross bearing?"
I. CROSS BEARING IS ALWAYS VOLUNTARY
First of all, the Bible tells us that "taking up a cross" is voluntary. Jesus calls & challenges us, but it is our decision. Taking up a cross & following Jesus is voluntary.
But I’m afraid that generally we’re pretty careless in the way we talk about our “cross bearing.”
ILL. For example, suppose that after extensive testing the doctor tells me, "I'm sorry, but you have diabetes, & you'll have to deal with it for the rest of your life." Now that may be a burden that I must bear, but it is not a cross I have taken up for Jesus. So I can't then tell others, "Well, that's my cross to bear," because I didn't volunteer for it.
Or if a tornado sweeps through our area & destroys my home, I can't call it "a cross I have to bear," because I didn't volunteer for that either. It is not something that I chose to do for Jesus.
SUM. You see, if I talk about bearing a cross, that means I am voluntarily taking it up for Jesus. I'm going to enlist, to offer myself in some way to serve Jesus.
II. CROSS BEARING IS AN ACT OF LOVE
A. So, cross bearing is not an accident that happens to us, or something unavoid-able that we must face. Cross bearing is an act of love that we choose to do. It is a task that we undertake, a price that we pay, out of love for Him.
For Jesus it meant going to a cross to die because He loved us so much.
It means reaching out to people who are unlovable & unlovely & who may never return the love. And yet we are to keep on loving because that's what Jesus did.
B. You want to read a description of what it means to carry a cross? Turn over to 1 Corinthians 13. Listen as I begin reading in vs. 4, & I want to change the word "love" & put the word "cross bearer" in its place.
"A cross bearer is patient. A cross bearer is kind. A cross bearer does not envy. A cross bearer does not boast. A cross bearer is not arrogant or rude. A cross bearer is not self seeking.
“A cross bearer is not easily angered, nor keeps records of wrongs. He does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. A cross bearer always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." | <urn:uuid:404d266d-2e7d-4a21-acb0-b97a2c4f7bd7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/take-up-your-cross-melvin-newland-sermon-on-discipleship-80358 | 2020-09-29T08:43:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.971855 | 1,121 |

Included in the PE curriculum is dance, gym, games, athletics and swimming. The wearing of the proper kit is essential.
The school is fortunate in having its own playing field and large playground areas. In addition to regular physical exercise in lesson times, there are 'extra-curricular' clubs which take advantage of these facilities. As a Healthy School we encourage the children to participate in as many extra curricular activities as possible.
The school encourages a positive attitude in team sports, with an emphasis on 'working together' and trying hard. The school teams take part in various competitions and it is hoped that the same attitude is extended to classroom work as a result.
The school arranges regular visits from professional coaches in a range of activities. In January 2010 we were awarded the schools Activemark for the third year running. | <urn:uuid:4ff80950-8a5a-440d-bed8-40d836cdf382> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.sumfield.bham.sch.uk/physical-education-pe/ | 2020-09-29T06:32:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.985398 | 168 |
I confess, I’m a summer girl. I grew up in San Diego where endless summers allowed for year-round flip-flops, short shorts and sunglasses spring, summer, and well through September. But since graduating college, I’ve been traveling abroad and I’ve lived in cities where winter is a reality. From Chicago, Illinois to Stuttgart, Germany, I’ve had my share of winter weather: snow, bitter cold, sleet and gray skies for weeks. Now I live in Shanghai, China and we’re at the cusp of winter. And you know what I’ve learned? Winter is the best excuse for the most delicious winter wear. From cashmere to angora, silk to suede, winter is all about the most touchable, most feel-good fashion of the year. Wrap yourself up with the coziest coats and softest sweaters with my favorite picks of the season.

You need marketing ideas for your small business.
I say that with confidence because of the number of small business owners and entrepreneurs that do.
Most small businesses are barely making enough money to keep the doors open.
The only real way to remedy that is to bring more customers through the door.
Which is why I can safely assume you need ideas.
If you’ve spent any time Googling before you found this article, you’ve probably seen all the basics.
That’s why I’ve decided to look at a few unorthodox methods.
Finding Successful Small Business Marketing Ideas Is About Trial And Error
I seriously hope you don’t plan on finding a working strategy right away.
There is no cookie cutter solution for small business marketing.
Every idea that works for someone else may still fail for you.
The only way to find out what’s worth your time and what isn’t is to try.
Especially if you’re hurting to grow your leads and sales.
You can’t afford to turn down any ideas you can try.
That’s what makes the abnormal options so appealing.
You likely haven’t already tried them, and your audience probably isn’t used to seeing them.
The best course of action is to try everything and see what works best.
These Small Business Marketing Ideas Take A Whole New Approach
Let me hook you up with some out-of-the-ordinary ideas.
Some of them are a spin on things you may have already thought of.
Others are things you never knew you could market with.
All these marketing ideas are things that most small businesses haven’t tried.
Let’s dig in and see what a little bit of crazy thinking can do for you.
Offer A Free-Sample As A Lead Magnet
I’m certain you’ve thought about giving away free samples.
Most small businesses have thought of this.
It’s something that you can do with both products and services.
However, you’ve probably avoided it because you weren’t sure how to make that action make money.
On the other side, you have probably heard about lead magnets before.
They’re something you can offer in exchange for contact information.
When you combine the two ideas, you’ve got something magical.
Anyone who wants a free sample of what you do is interested in your product or service.If they sign up for a sample, the odds are good they're in your target market. Click To Tweet
Have them sign up to get their free sample.
This is especially valuable if you have a physical product to offer.
You’re not only getting their email address but also an address you can send mail to.
That means you have a way to include traditional print advertising to your mix.
Or, if you run a B2B company, you have an address to send a salesman to.
All by offering them a little something for free.
It’s a pretty simple prospect, too.
Figure out what you can afford to give away to everyone.
Maybe it’s a sample of your product or service.
It could be a sample of the materials available (if your product is impractical to give away).
A service company could give away a free trial.
Whatever it is, as long as you exchange contact information for it, it’s worth it.
Create A Knowledge Contest Quiz
How many times have you gotten trapped by one of those Buzzfeed quizzes?
You know what I mean.
The ones that tell you which Disney princess you are.
Quizzes are insanely popular.
People always want to challenge themselves to see what results they get.
That’s because people frequently seek to define themselves to others.
This sense of validation compels people to prove they know something about their favorite topics.
That’s something you can use to spread the word about your business.
It’s time to test people about your industry.
For example, let’s say you run a candy shop.
You might quiz people on the trivia behind chocolate.
Create a quiz in the style of Buzzfeed’s.
You can use WPMU’s Forminator if you’re on WordPress, Interact for other websites, or use BuzzFeed directly.
Now, a word of caution: Forminator & Interact cost money, and BuzzFeed won’t help you collect emails.
However, all three options should allow your audience to share the quiz and their score once they’re done.
But if you don’t like those three choices, you can always find another option.
Google Forms for example.
The means is irrelevant.
What matters is that you get people to take the quiz and get their score.
Then encourage them to share their results on social media.
Most of their friends will likely take the quiz, too.
Meanwhile, you’re building a lead list of people who are scoring their knowledge of your industry.
Used properly those scores can even help you determine where they are in the buying cycle.
You can use that to figure out what emails they need to see in your nurturing campaign.
They’re giving you the data you need while you help them with a little friendly competition.
Build An Online Referral Or Affiliate Program
One of the best lead sources is a customer referral.
Referrals are usually a lot easier to sell to and typically spend more money than a cold lead.
That’s because they come with the comfort of a friend’s good word.
The closer the referring party is to the referral, the better it will work out for you.
With that in mind, you don’t need the referrer to have a relationship with the referral for the lead to be good.
In fact, if it’s a qualified lead it’s already good.
And a great referral or affiliate program could help with that.
Yes, I’m literally talking about asking others to send leads your way, then paying them when a sale is made.
It’s amazing how many more people your customers will send when there is money in it for them.
Incentives always work well on people who are otherwise positively disposed towards you.
If you’re doing a great job for your clients, then you offer them an incentive to send people, they’ll more readily send great leads.
By creating an affiliate program, you take it a step up.
Affiliate programs typically work best online but can be done in person.
The referrer has a code that he or she can give to referrals.
This code might have a discount attached but doesn’t have to.
If someone purchases using that code, the referrer earns a commission.
With most affiliate online software, you can set the commission to whatever you’d like.
Especially effective in eCommerce situations, the affiliate program can be set to automatically pay your affiliates in money or points to use in your store.
That creates return visits and offers your customers a great reason to send people your way.
Include Customized Videos In Your Emails
Videos do huge numbers in email.
In fact, if you add a video in your email, you’re likely to increase your click-through rate by up to 300%.
That’s because video is a great way to get your audience engaged before they have to do anything.
By engaging your audience, you get them invested in your message, and that gets them to move forward.
That alone gives your email marketing a huge boost.
But what if you could customize your videos?
Imagine sending out a video that spoke literally to everyone on your email list directly.
There are a few services out there that allow you to automate video customization in the same way you automate email customization.
Now, instead of a generic video sent to everyone, your lead gets a video that addresses him or her by name.
That’s probably going to increase your results a lot more.
Well, not probably. It does.
Personalized video is still a relatively new venue as well, which means there is a lot of room to see where it takes your small business.
Most of your audience probably hasn’t seen it yet, which means it will stand out when they do.
If you’re on the bandwagon early, you’re the one who will get the biggest benefit.
If you’re ready to try personalizing your marketing videos, there are a ton of platforms available.
Just make sure you take the time to think through your script.
You might want to make sure your email list is segmented well, too.
The more you know about the list you’re sending a video to, the more customized you can make it.
Plan A Live Web Meet/Webinar
No matter what kind of business you have or whether you have a physical location, you can host a web meet or webinar.
Web meets differ from webinars in a very slight but very important way.
Web meets behave like a town hall where everyone asks questions of the hosting business.
Webinars work like seminars, offering educational material about the business’ products or industry.
The result, however, is still the same.
Your customers get to know you and to learn your business better.
But how does this build your leads?
Typically, something like this needs to be registered for.
You need your audience members to “reserve their spot” if they want to attend.
To do that, you’ll need contact information.
For a web meet, you’ll need to gather your audience’s email address and any other relevant information, like their Skype account.
Or, you know, whatever multi-user video platform you’ll be using.
That’s going to give you one more point of contact for those leads.
If you’re planning a webinar, you’ll need an email address to send the link to.
You can also take this opportunity to get your leads to start opening their wallet.
If you’re adding guest speakers to your webinar, you may have costs associated with it.
It’s reasonable at that point to charge admission.
Once someone has paid for something you have to offer, they’re more likely to buy something from you again in the future.
In the end, no matter which course you take, you’ll wind up with a list of leads who are interested in what you have to offer.
Hire A Marketing Consultant
Sometimes the best small business marketing ideas are specific to your business.
No matter how much you search the internet, you’ll never find these waiting around for you.
That’s where a great marketing consultant comes into play.
By bringing someone on-board to consult with your marketing team, you can find the unique ways your company can reach out to your audience.
These small business marketing experts can dig into the data you have about your customers, couple it with data about your company’s culture, neighborhood, and business model, and develop ideas unique to your brand.Most of the time a consultant will save both time and money. Click To Tweet
That’s going to allow you new marketing angles you never thought of.
A great marketing consultant will walk you through several iterations of the same idea, teaching you how to refine along the way.
Many will provide a basic idea during the consultation, offering you a jump-off point just for meeting them.
That alone will make a sit down worth your time.
However, their added experience in working with small businesses can shape the way your strategy in ways you couldn’t alone.
By the time you’ve thoroughly worked with a consultant, you should come away knowing what you need to do to reach your audience in the future.
Remember, their job isn’t to stay on forever, but to help you solve the specific problem you brought them in for.
They should make your team stronger in the process.
Outsource Your Social Content
One of the most time-consuming, creativity-sapping parts of marketing a small business is social media.
With all the platforms to manage and the audience to engage with, most small business owners get overwhelmed with it.
But that’s because most small business owners aren’t in the social media or marketing businesses.
They aren’t in those particular trenches every day, and it takes time away from the work they want to be doing.
That’s when an outsourced creative agency comes in handy.
By offloading the largest bulk of your content to an agency that handles social media daily, you can improve your results and save a ton of time.
You can watch and see your audience engage with posts created by a team that knows how to earn engagement.
Once your audience starts to engage, they’ll get hooked on your brand.
That’s going to bring more customers in on a regular basis, making the cost and effort worth it.
Yeah, I know, I said a dirty word: cost.
However, what is it currently costing you to go with your current social strategy?
The time it frees up alone might be worth the money.
Or maybe you don’t have a social strategy.
You could wind up with a flood of new leads that more than pays for itself.
Go All-In On LinkedIn
LinkedIn is the place for anyone who considers themselves a professional.
It doesn’t matter what color your collar.
This network is unique for businesses because of one important thing.
You don’t promote your brand. You promote yourself.
The idea behind LinkedIn is that you build a professional network.
That network, built correctly, can lead to new opportunities in various, unexpected places.
There are a few things you need to do to make that happen.
For starters, you need to share your marketing content here.
Promote every blog, video, podcast, Slide Deck, and infographic you create as your knowledge.
Let people know that this is your work.
As they begin to consume it, they’ll learn that your content is trustworthy.
As you get more familiar with the platform, start to publish long-form LinkedIn articles.
These will, by nature, get even more attention.
As people like, share, and comment on your posts, you can begin to develop relationships.
Send them a message through the platform offering to connect.
As you start connecting, they’ll start to engage even more with your content.
Be sure you’re engaging with others’ content as well.
Create those opportunities for conversation.
Once you’ve talked with someone a few times, you can reach out with an email, progressing your efforts from there.
Some suggest reaching out earlier with a cold email, but I advise against that.
Cold emails are much less likely to work, as they make your connection feel that you see them as just a sale.
Keep your communication sincere, then ask for the sale when it makes sense.
Build An Online Course About Your Industry
Your target audience wants to know more about what you do.
That gives you an excellent opportunity.
Educating people is powerful in marketing, offering you a chance to build a ton of trust while showing them you can provide value.
All before you try to sell.
Online courses can be offered in several ways, and they’re a great way to educate your audience.
They’re interactive for those who join but they don’t require you to interact live.
You can set up a pre-built online course in one of four easy ways:
- Set up an automated email course, sending several daily emails full of educational value about the topic.
- Create pre-recorded webinars around your content, focusing on your primary keywords.
These should be anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours in length.
- Build an online course using lesson software like Instructables or WikiHow.
There is software available for multiple web platforms to help you.
- Create a course on Udemy that teaches your audience about your industry.
These courses allow your audience to get an education that goes beyond a blog article.
Each should finish with a call-to-action that leads your audience down the next logical step.
Obviously, you’ll need your audience to register for these, allowing you access to their contact data.
That gives you the opportunity to stay in front of them and nurture them to a sale
Create Product Demonstration Videos
There is huge power in showing your audience how your product works.
Product demos give potential buyers a real idea of what your product or service does for them.
It allows them to truly visualize ownership.
And your demonstrator adds the human element that people crave in an often-lifeless internet environment.
Creating a video demo is simple enough.
All you need to do is record one of your team members using your product and explaining what they’re doing.
Show off all the features.
But primarily focus on the way the product or service improves the user’s life.
These videos are a huge boost to your marketing efforts.
And people love them.
Four out of five consumers find demo videos helpful according to Animoto’s Video Marketing Cheat Sheet.
And 54% of people want to see video from a company they follow more than any other content type.
Once you have put together these video demos, share them on social media.
This is the best way to use video across social platforms.
Social video makes 64% of people more likely to buy.
By helping them understand your product better in the place they prefer to see the video, you’re increasing your chances of a sale dramatically.
Team Up With Micro Influencers
If you’re on Instagram, you know all the important people your friends follow.
Be they local fitness personalities or travel gurus, there are certain people in your neck of the woods that everyone follows.
Those are micro influencers, and they’re the people that everyone listens to in their respective fields.
They may not have huge followings usually around 2000 or less.
However, their fanbase is incredibly loyal and will often support whatever products they recommend.
That’s because these influencers have built trust with their fans.
Somewhere in that mix is an influencer you need to team up with.
Often micro influencers are sponsored by the products they suggest.
Whether through affiliate marketing or outright pay, they blend their lifestyle posts with product placement seamlessly.
By finding the right influencers to tap into, you can gain access to a fiercely loyal audience for a relatively low price.
While the mega influencers may make a fortune for each post, micro influencers only cost between $50 and $500 dollars depending on the nature of your sponsorship and the size of their audience.
You can pay for a simple recommendation or a full-blown review.
In some cases, you can get their endorsement just by giving them a free sample.Micro influencers allow you to quickly establish trust by borrowing credibility. Click To Tweet
And those endorsements are as good as any referral.
But micro influencers aren’t only found on Instagram.
They create content on all platforms from YouTube to Snapchat to their own private blogs.
And, depending on your target market, there is one out there waiting to partner with you.
Add An “Education Center” To Your Website
As I stated before, there’s a huge benefit to educating your audience.
However, there are some questions that need to be answered that don’t require a web meetup or webinar.
Sometimes they just require a few paragraphs.
Maybe even an infographic.
In those cases, it’s often best to compile the answer in a short, sweet blog post or a downloadable white paper.
Between the answers to frequently asked questions, questions your clients ought to ask, and all of your lead magnet information, you’ll probably compile a lot of content.
It might be a good idea to put all that content in one, easy to see space.
That’s what I mean by education center.
This is a page on your site where visitors can go to watch short videos, like product demos, download your lead magnets, and read your FAQ and QSA pages.
It’s the complete resource for all the educational resources your business provides.
One of the biggest opponents of engagement and upsell is confusion.
Offering all the education one could need in a single place helps solve that.
It also increases the long-term value of your clients because they feel they can make better decisions once they have all the information.
Use A Facebook Messenger Chatbot
There’s a badge on your Facebook Business Page that tells your fans how fast you respond to messages.
People check it before trying to ask a question to see how much of their time is going to be wasted.
They want an answer now and a badge that says you won’t answer for a few days is a turn-off.
But you obviously can’t be there all the time, and you don’t want to use an away message that doesn’t do your lead any favors.
That leaves them waiting anyway.
Instead, a chatbot might be the best solution.
Facebook chatbots are a great way to engage your audience when you can’t be there.
When they’re set up correctly, you can direct your leads to the answers to their questions without a person ever needing to step in.
They can even be programmed to take bookings, sell products, or handle returns automatically.
And, whenever your bot can’t do the job, it can pass the lead off to you to take over.
It’s a handy way to add a little automation to a platform that’s becoming excellent at marketing to your audience.
With tons of options for chatbots that have a low cost and even lower barrier to entry, this is a simple solution that can build better results for your brand.
Plus, your chatbot can add a whole new level of notification for your leads, letting them know when you’ve published new content or have other announcements.
And most people check their phone when their messenger goes off.
That’s going to get you some additional attention that will help you take off.
Small Business Marketing Ideas Don’t Have To Fit A Mold

Continue to test these and sample other methods to find what works the best for you.

My Four Simple Staple Meals
Keeping life simple can be a challenge with everything on our plates, but that doesn't mean what's literally on our plates must suffer! I am always trying to find healthy meal options that I can prepare at home, take on the go, and can serve as multiple meals throughout the week. I have played and experimented with many recipes (I will share a few) but have found that I have 4 go-to simple staple meals.
Before I share those spectacular meals, there are four things I like to keep in mind while preparing any healthy meal: 1. Balance: It must have a proper balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fats so my body is healthy and can function optimally. 2. Nutritional Value: It must have nutritional value with food choices like vegetables, fruits, grains, lean protein, and dairy. 3. Variety: It must have different or optional ingredients to ensure I get a varied amount of minerals and vitamins.4. Enjoyable: It must be good! The meal must have flavors that I enjoy as well as my family and friends.
My 4 Spectacular Simple Staple Meals!
1. SOUPThis is by far my personal cold weather go-to. You can pack it full of flavor by using herbs and spices without adding excessive calories, and it is hard to ruin a soup recipe. You can make the base of the soup with lentils or bean, vegetables, rice, or even lean meat. Soups can be stored in the fridge and eaten for a few days, and some can even be canned and stored for long periods of time. Soup's ability to hit you in the soft spot during winter can almost eliminate its title as a "staple meal" during the warm months. However, no matter the season, soup adapts just fine. Lemon Chicken Orzo Soup is one of my favorite twists of the traditional Chicken Noodle Soup. It is light, refreshing, and full of that lemon zest that gives your taste-buds a nice little punch. BUT my all time favorite is a little family recipe my grandmother used to make - Chilled Peach Soup. Grandma would get some fresh, local peaches, slice and let them soak overnight in honey, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, coconut flakes, and dried apricots. The next day, she would get out the blender and puree the mixture to a creamy thickness. I remember her throwing a handful of blueberries and blue cheese on top to give it a nice presentation. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face!2. SALADSWith the sun shining through the clouds, salads are a great addition to this staple meal list. With warm weather comes new, fresh produce perfect for this quick and easy meal option. Much like soups, salads can be very difficult to mess up, except with perhaps the wrong dressing. Salads are great for those in a time crunch and can lend a nutrient dense meal option for lunch or dinner. This meal option can be fun to play with and an easy way to use up any expiring produce you have on your shelf at home. I personally enjoy finding in-season fruits and vegetables to change up my salads so that I never get bored eating them. One of my favorite salad recipes for the spring is the antioxidant rich, Honey Pecan Grilled Chicken and Berry Salad.Ingredients:
- 3 cooked, boneless chicken breast halves diced
- 3 cups mixed spring greens and chopped kale
- 1 cup freshly cut strawberries
- ½ cup blueberries
- ½ cup raspberries
- ½ cup diced cucumbers
- ⅓ cup chopped pecans
- ⅓ cup raw, local honey
- 1 lime
Instructions:Place cooked chicken, mixed greens, kale, and pecans in a large bowl. Slowly stir in honey until even throughout the mixture. Add strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and cucumbers to mixture and gently toss. Applying light pressure to the lime, roll until tender, and slice in half. Squeeze desired amount of lime juice onto the salad mixture. Can be kept in the fridge for about 48-72 hours. 3. SMOOTHIES OR SHAKESThese are always my on-the-go breakfast option. These often nutritious drinks can be blended with other ingredients like vegetables, fruits, dairy, flax, chia seeds, protein powders, and nuts to differ texture and nutrition content. To keep it low in calories, I use ice and water rather than juices to give it the right thickness. Smoothies take an average of 10 minutes or less to make and can constitute 10 or more servings of fruits and vegetables alone. With a smoothie for breakfast, I am getting my day started with a nutritious BANG! But on those days that even 10 minutes can be hard to come by, I have a little cheat: I have found organic fruit and vegetable juices that are rather tasty at my local supermarket. I simply grab my shaker bottle, pour in the juice, add a scoop of organic protein powder, and I am out the door! My theory is, it’s better for me than going through the drive through on the way to work!4. SPAGHETTIThis is this gal’s favorite family pleaser. There are rare moments in life that you can please everyone, but for those rare moments, there is spaghetti. My eldest brother has down's syndrome and he loves to eat. Admittedly,when he comes to stay, he will eat just about anything I fix for him, but his all time favorite comes straight from our Italian roots. Though it is nice to know that everyone will be pleased with the spaghetti, I still have some criteria I like to meet. For my noodle alternative, I like to use spaghetti squash. In about a cup of cooked spaghetti squash, there is only 31 calories in addition to some Potassium, Vitamins A, C, and B-6, calcium, magnesium, iron, and protein. Ingredients:
- 1 pound cooked organic beef
- 1 can (25.5 oz) organic tomato spaghetti sauce
- 1 medium spaghetti squash
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 table spoon olive oil.
- 1 table spoon ground black pepper
Instructions: Pre-heat oven to 375-425 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut spaghetti squash in equal halves (to make it easier, place squash in microwave for about 5 minutes or until soften). Scoop out seeds and excess fibers. Brush olive oil evenly onto flesh of squash and sprinkle with black pepper. Turn squash face down on baking pan (skin side up) and place in oven. Mix cooked ground beef and spaghetti sauce in skillet on medium heat. Once your sauce and meat have reached your desired temperature, simply turn down the heat to very low. Cook squash for about 30-45 minutes. Carefully roll over squash. Using a fork, scrape the flesh of the squash until neatly shredded into noodles. Let squash cool for about 10-15 minutes. Slowly pour meat sauce on top of squash noodles and lightly sprinkle parmesan cheese. This should serve 4-8 people. | <urn:uuid:f54b983f-f5e9-4ad0-a3f6-49a79e9f9663> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.wellviewhealth.com/post/simple-staple-meals | 2020-09-29T07:54:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401632671.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929060555-20200929090555-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.940199 | 1,465 |

A look ahead to the 2012 Bramham International Horse Trials
PUBLISHED: 00:43 06 February 2012 | UPDATED: 21:00 20 February 2013
It's one of the most exciting equestrian events of the year. Enjoy a selection of pictures from past Bramham International Horse Trials to remind you of a great weekend out
There is an added air of excitement in the preparation for this years Equi-Trek Bramham International Horse Trials at Wetherby in June, just seven weeks before the Olympic Games. The trials are likely to be the last chance to see many of the Olympic eventing hopefuls before they head to Greenwich Park and the Games.
Bramham, one of the highlights of the equestrian year, takes place on June 7th -10th and is set in the parkland surrounding the ancestral home of the Lane-Fox family. This year is the 39th year of the event.
Many spectacles to enjoy are planned other than the showcase Equi-Trek CC13*, including the Bishop Burton College National Under 25 Championship CC13* and the CC13*. Add to this top British Showjumping, Young Stock and Hunter classes, Dubarry Burghley Young Event Horse qualifiers, Pony Team show jumping and the ever-popular Mix and Match means you would be able to see 500 or so horses across 29 competitions over four action-packed days.
But the event isnt just about horses. It could easily be a shoppers paradise too with 130 or so shops surrounding the Equi-Trek arena offering something for everyone. Its great to be able to start the weekend with a glass of Champagne from the bar, catch the end of the dressage, enjoy dinner alfresco and then indulge in some retail therapy during late-night opening.
There is also an extensive Action & Adventure in Yorkshire arena taking place during the event which last year included quad bikes and archery. This years activities, which range across all ages, are yet to be finalised.
We will keep a watching brief as organisers add the finishing touches to what is expected to be one of the most successful Bramham International Horse Trials yet and coverage will appear in a later issue of Yorkshire Life.
The online ticket office is open from February 1st until May 28th at bramham-horse.co.uk and telephone bookings can be made from May 3rd-May 28th. There are many different ticket types including camping and membership. Visit the website for all the news, box office offers and competition information

New to fastlane? Click here to open the installation & setup instructions first
1) Install the latest Xcode command line tools
2) Install fastlane
# Using RubyGems sudo gem install fastlane -NV # Alternatively using Homebrew brew install fastlane
3) Navigate to your project and run
iOS Beta deployment using fastlane
Building your app
fastlane takes care of building your app using an action called build_app, just add the following to your
lane :beta do build_app(scheme: "MyApp") end
Additionally you can specify more options for building your app, for example
lane :beta do build_app(scheme: "MyApp", workspace: "Example.xcworkspace", include_bitcode: true) end
Try running the lane using
If everything works, you should have a
[ProductName].ipa file in the current directory. To get a list of all available parameters for build_app, run
fastlane action build_app.
Chances are that something went wrong because of code signing at the previous step. We prepared our own Code Signing Guide that helps you setting up the right code signing approach for your project.
Uploading your app
After building your app, it's ready to be uploaded to a beta testing service of your choice. The beauty of fastlane is that you can easily switch beta provider, or even upload to multiple at once, without any extra work.
All you have to do is to put the name of the beta testing provider of your choice after building the app using build_app:
lane :beta do sync_code_signing(type: "appstore") # see code signing guide for more information build_app(scheme: "MyApp") upload_to_testflight slack(message: "Successfully distributed a new beta build") end
fastlane automatically passes on information about the generated
.ipa file from build_app to the beta testing provider of your choice.
To get a list of all available parameters for a given action, run
fastlane action slack
Beta testing services
You can easily upload new builds to TestFlight (which is part of App Store Connect) using fastlane. To do so, just use the built-in
testflight action after building your app
lane :beta do # ... build_app upload_to_testflight end
Some example use cases
lane :beta do # ... build_app # Variant 1: Provide a changelog to your build upload_to_testflight(changelog: "Add rocket emoji") # Variant 2: Skip the "Waiting for processing" of the binary # While this will speed up your build, it will not distribute # the binary to your tests, nor set a changelog upload_to_testflight(skip_waiting_for_build_processing: true) end
If you used
fastlane init to setup fastlane, your Apple ID is stored in the
fastlane/Appfile. You can also overwrite the username, using
To get a list of all available options, run
fastlane action upload_to_testflight
With fastlane, you can also automatically manage your beta testers, check out the other actions available.
Firebase App Distribution
Install the Firebase App Distribution plugin:
fastlane add_plugin firebase_app_distribution
Authenticate with Firebase by running the
firebase_app_distribution_login action (or using one of the other authentication methods):
fastlane run firebase_app_distribution_login
Then add the
firebase_app_distribution action to your lane:
lane :beta do # ... build_app firebase_app_distribution( app: "1:123456789:ios:abcd1234", groups: "qa-team, trusted-testers" ) # ... end
For more information and options (such as adding release notes) see the full Getting Started guide.
lane :beta do # ... build_app hockey(api_token: "[insert_key_here]") end
To get your API token, open API Tokens in Account Settings. From there, you can find your existing API token, or create a new one.
To get a list of all available options see the
hockey action docs, or run
fastlane action hockey
lane :beta do # ... build_app testfairy(api_key: "[insert_key_here]") # Variant 1: Provide a changelog testfairy(api_key: "[insert_key_here]", comment: "Add rocket emoji") # Variant 2: Specify tester groups testfairy(api_key: "[insert_key_here]", testers_groups: ["group1"]) end
To get a list of all available options, run
fastlane action testfairy
More information about the service on TestFairy.com.
More information about additional supported beta testing services can be found in the list of "Beta" actions
Automatically based on git commits
Your changelog changes, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to store a static release note in the
lane :beta do sync_code_signing build_app changelog_from_git_commits # this will generate the changelog based on your last commits upload_to_testflight end
Get a list of all available options using
fastlane action changelog_from_git_commits, here are some examples
changelog_from_git_commits( between: ['7b092b3', 'HEAD'], # Optional, lets you specify a revision/tag range between which to collect commit info merge_commit_filtering: exclude_merges # Optional, lets you filter out merge commits )
Prompt for changelog
You can automatically be asked for the changelog in your terminal using the
lane :beta do # Variant 1: Ask for a one line input changelog = prompt(text: "Changelog: ") # Variant 2: Ask for a multi-line input # The user confirms their input by typing `END` and Enter changelog = prompt( text: "Changelog: ", multi_line_end_keyword: "END" ) sync_code_signing build_app upload_to_testflight(changelog: changelog) end
Fetching the changelog from the file system or remote server
You can fetch values from anywhere in your
Fastfile, including the file system and remote server
lane :beta do # Variant 1: Read from file system # note the `..`, since fastlane runs in the _fastlane_ directory changelog = File.read("../Changelog.txt") # Variant 2: Fetch data from a remote web server changelog = download(url: "https://lookatmycms.com/changelog.txt") sync_code_signing build_app upload_to_testflight(changelog: changelog) end
Manage devices and testers using fastlane
If you're using TestFlight you don't need to worry about UDIDs of your devices. Instead you just maintain a list of testers based on their Apple ID email address.
fastlane supports automatically registering devices using different approaches
boarding allows you set up a registration page for your beta testers, so they can enter their email address and start testing your application.
Check out the boarding GitHub repo for more information.
pilot is automatically installed with fastlane, you can use it to register individual testers to TestFlight
# Register a new external tester fastlane pilot add email@example.com # Register a new external tester and add them to your app fastlane pilot add firstname.lastname@example.org -a com.app.name
Third party beta testing services
If you're using a third party beta testing service, you'll need to manage your registered devices and their UDIDs. fastlane already supports device registrations and updating provisioning profiles out of the box.
lane :beta do # Before calling match, we make sure all our devices are registered on the Apple Developer Portal register_devices(devices_file: "devices.txt") # After registering the new devices, we'll make sure to update the provisioning profile if necessary # Note how we make sure to pass "adhoc" to get and use a provisioning profile for Ad Hoc distribution sync_code_signing(force_for_new_devices: true, type: "adhoc") build_app # ... end
devices.txt should look like this:
Device ID Device Name A123456789012345678901234567890123456789 DeviceName1 B123456789012345678901234567890123456789 DeviceName2
Incrementing the build number
Depending on the beta testing service you use, you'll have to increment the build number each time you upload a new build. This is a requirement for TestFlight for example.
To do so, there are some built-in fastlane actions available, here are some examples
Fetching the latest build number from TestFlight
The code sample below will use the latest build number from TestFlight and temporarily set it.
lane :beta do increment_build_number( build_number: latest_testflight_build_number + 1, xcodeproj: "Example.xcodeproj" ) end
Committing the build number to version control
The code sample below will increment the build number and commit the project changes to version control.
lane :beta do # Ensure that your git status is not dirty ensure_git_status_clean # Increment the build number (not the version number) # Providing the xcodeproj is optional increment_build_number(xcodeproj: "Example.xcodeproj") # Commit the version bump commit_version_bump(xcodeproj: "Example.xcodeproj") # Add a git tag for this build. This will automatically # use an appropriate git tag name add_git_tag # Push the new commit and tag back to your git remote push_to_git_remote end
For all the steps above, there are more parameters available, run the following to get a full list:
fastlane action [action_name]
Use the number of commits
This isn't recommended, however some teams prefer this approach. You can use the number of commits of the current branch (via
number_of_commits) as the build number. This will only work if you always run the build on the same branch.
lane :beta do increment_build_number(build_number: number_of_commits) end | <urn:uuid:d0a56186-253b-4b9d-bc23-c8f603f437c4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://docs.fastlane.tools/getting-started/ios/beta-deployment/ | 2020-09-30T19:35:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.738338 | 2,291 |

ABB drives help achieve precise control
17 June 2011
ABB and textile machinery specialist Tatham Ltd have developed the technology to provide higher production speeds with improved product weight distribution for crosslapper control. A crosslapper accepts a lightweight fibre web from a carding machine and uses it to build up a heavier web in layers (known as a batt). The crosslapper overlaps the layers by means of a complex arrangement of conveyors and reversing mobile carriages that turn the material through 90 degrees.
Tatham’s latest TSX control system utilises ABB high performance machinery drives and servomotors. Several panel combinations are available depending on the existing crosslapper configuration. The system is linked to the master process control using Profibus, an ABB AC500 PLC provides positioning data to the drives which convert it into control signals to maintain the speed of the servomotors.
“We chose ABB drives because of their versatility, power and competitive pricing”, says Jim Kelly, Senior electrical engineer at Tatham, “together with ABB we developed a control software based on the ABB drives’ programmable function blocks which mean we had a system that provided precise positioning that is repeatable resulting in total control of the batt profile. The heaviness of the batt is a function of the speed it is laid down at and using the ABB PLC, drives and servomotors allows us to vary this precisely, giving a much more accurate and controllable build up of the layers. We can adjust the speed of the carriage at the edges of the batt to avoid distortions and maintain the correct thickness across the entire width.”
All parameters can be adjusted from the latest touchscreen operator interface. The batt thickness can be adjusted across its width to suit the product requirements with coefficient of variation (CV) values of around +/-1 percent. It is also possible to shape the batt to any required profile. Essentially the accuracy of the ABB high performance machinery drives mean the TSX system can provide precise control of web delivery to achieve the required batt profile.
As well as significant fibre savings the TSX is very energy efficient. Before a recent installation the crosslapper used 60A peak but following the installation of the ABB high performance machinery drives, this has been cut to 15A.
By monitoring the final product with a suitable measuring system Tatham can offer a ‘closed loop’ control system to automatically adjust the batt profile to the pre-set requirements. It can also be extended to link with Tatham’s own TS weight control system if required.
Tatham has become a worldwide specialist in upgrading existing crosslapper drive systems. Having completed numerous installations worldwide the TSX has become a benchmark for leading edge design and operational performance. Recent installations include a geotextile manufacturer in Malaysia, Papermakers felt in China and an automotive textile producer in USA. The technology can be applied to all makes of crosslappers.
As a centre of excellence for system design and implementation, Tatham’s team of highly trained engineers offer a wide range of expertise to deliver the right solution. Their experience is backed by the very latest design and production facilities, enabling them to match engineered solutions to customers’ requirements.

Dubuque County is the sort of county that has made Iowa and the majority of the Midwest lean blue. The county has not voted Republican since Dwight Eisenhower’s landslide 1956 reelection victory. Until now. Donald Trump carried the county by just over 600 or so votes in route to a nine point statewide victory.
This election Dubuque was far from unique. Rather, it followed a pattern where a majority of the counties that backed Obama in 2008 and 2012 switched their allegiances to Trump all along the upper Mississippi river. These economically distressed counties share many similarities with their Appalachian cousins but rock-solid red they have not been. Ever.
The reason is simple. Obama/Trump voters. Dubuque County stands as a case study in viewing this phenomenon first-hand. In 2008 Obama won the county by 21 points with 28,000 votes. Four years later he won the county by 14 percent with about 28,000 votes. But fast-forward to today and Trump improved on Romney’s margin by over 2,000 vote while Clinton fell over 5,000. The math is simple to calculate that Trump won over Obama voters.
Dubuque followed a trend, it did not set one. In Wisconsin, Trump won Kenosha County by an unassuming 250 or so votes. But, he was the first Republican to do so since Nixon. In 2012 Obama won the county by 12 percent with 44,000 votes. Trump won the county with 36,000 votes. But Clinton under performed Obama by almost 10,000 votes.
The most startling example is in Illinois where Trump flipped every county in Northwest Illinois except Rock Island. These are not exactly traditional Republican counties as even as they were voting for Trump they were sending Democrats to Congress with north of 60 percent of the vote. Even in Rock Island Trump improved on Romney’s margins by over 2,000 votes.
Considering Trump’s narrow margins in the Midwest one could easily argue these voters gave him the election. Though not on the Mississippi River Macomb County is well known for being a home to Reagan Democrats. In recent years the county had moved left, supporting Obama twice. But, this go-round the county voted for Trump and gave him a 48,000 vote cushion. He won the state by a little over 10,000 votes.
In Pennsylvania, Trump carried the state on the backbone of two counties that flipped from Obama to Trump, Luzerne and Erie. Erie voted for Obama by double-digits in 08 and 12 and Luzerne did as well. But, this time Trump won Erie narrowly and Luzerne by a stunning 26,000 votes. These narrow margins took votes Clinton needed and led to her narrow loss.
Right now, Democrats don’t know what to do. They are at a loss to explain why these voters were drawn to Trump. Was it the message? His brand? His outsider status? Or was it the Clinton campaign’s ineptitude? Democrats are not likely to find any quick or easy answers.
As I have written before that the Midwest has been getting redder but nobody foresaw Dubuque County or dozens of counties that voted for Obama flipping to Trump this cycle. When Joni Ernst was winning Tom Harkin’s open Senate seat in 2014 Dubuque stubbornly stuck to voting for Democrat Bruce Braley. Still, it echoed a trend, Ernst came close to carrying it.
Considering Trump’s narrow margins Obama/Trump voters mattered more than their weight in paving the way to the White House for Trump. | <urn:uuid:c652fab1-7cfa-43c9-872d-35e9651d553d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://americanwatchmen.org/2016/12/16/the-obamatrump-voters-why-they-mattered/ | 2020-09-30T17:38:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.968767 | 727 |
Roasted Tomato, Ginger & Basil Soup
Nothing screams fall or winter like a hearty tomato soup, especially on a chilly day. Lucky for me, New England brings lots of days that call for this recipe. And if you love carbohydrates and starches as much as I do, to make it even heartier, add rice or orzo pasta. Serve with a classic grilled cheese sandwich and you have a perfect meal.
12 Tomatoes on the Vine
Optional: 1 – 8 oz. Canned Diced Tomatoes (for additional flavor)
1 Large Onion, chopped
1 Carrot, chopped
1 Celery Stalk, chopped
4 Garlic Cloves, smashed
¾ C Fresh Basil
2 t Fresh Thyme
1 T Fresh Ginger, grated
4 T Olive Oil
1 t Sugar or Honey/Agave
3 Cups Chicken or Vegetable Stock
2 T Butter
Salt & Pepper
Optional: 1/3 C Cup Light Cream
Slice the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds. Place tomatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast the tomatoes for 30 minutes in a 325-degree oven. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once the tomatoes have cooled, peel and discard the skin.
In a large pot, sauté the onion, garlic and carrot until the onion is translucent and the carrot becomes soft. Add the basil, thyme and ginger. Season with salt and pepper. Stir for one minute. Add the stock of your choice, chicken or vegetable.
Using a hand mixer, blend until smooth. If you do not have a hand mixer, transfer the contents of the pot to a blender. Blend until smooth, and return to the pot. Add the honey and butter, and check the seasoning for salt. Lastly, add the cream if you choose.

We recently had a VERY successful DaKine Beach Club outing this weekend at Alki Beach in the AVA Juniors tournament. Taking 1st place in the 12’s and 14’s divisions, and a 2nd in the 16’s! I was able to speak with many disgruntled parents about the format (1 game to 21 pts in pool play), some courts were sharing with another pool, then into single elimination bracket. As a professional event producer by trade, this format in my opinion is just a money grab. I hate to say it, but you parents need to start questioning WHY you and your kids are being given so few points and games on tournament day. I truly feel if you are dedicating your time to get your kids to the beach for a tournament, you deserve to be treated much better than a 1 game to 21 pt pool play format. My suggestion to the organizers doing this to the region would be to take less teams if you can’t provide enough play and finish on time in order to create a better product.

The great debate.
Maybe the only thing that has ruffled more feathers is the question of whether or not darts is a sport.
But with that also comes the logical argument about who can be considered an athlete. Are we all athletes or not?
Are darts players athletes? Darts players can be considered athletes because they do have to follow extensive training in order to develop and improve their throwing consistency and skill. However, many people argue that darts players cannot be considered athletes because they do not exert high amount of physical effort while playing darts.
I have dabbled in a few different sports, and after being asked that question quite a few times, I decided to do a little digging around.
Below I share with you what I have found in combination with my personal opinion as a person that has participated in various sports.
The thing is that I am not biased one way or another. So I tried to have an as open-minded and unbiased view as possible.
Table of Contents:
What is the definition of an athlete?
Let us start by better defining what the definition of an athlete is.
The definition of an athlete, according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is “a person who is trained or skilled in exercises, sports, or games requiring physical strength, agility, or stamina.”
What this means is that basically, you have to be participating in some activity that requires physical exertion, agility, or stamina. Okay. Fair enough.
But according to the Cambridge Dictionary, an athlete is “a person who is very good at sports or physical exercise, especially one who competes in organized events.”
Now this definition of an athlete is a bit more lenient. So you have to be good at sports or physical exercise. It also adds the need to participate in organized events.
Now let us take a look at another definition of what an athlete is.
According to Wikipedia, it is “a person who competes in one or more sports that involve physical strength, speed or endurance.”
Again we see the need to be doing something physical.
But then Wikipedia continues, “The application of the term to those who participate in other activities, such as golf or driving, is somewhat controversial.”
So this is where we can first see the problem arising. Okay. Let us try to get to the bottom of this (at this point, I realized that things would not be that easy).
Why can darts players be considered athletes?
Let us try to take a more organized approach here.
First, the terminology seems to revolve around a few things. An athlete is somebody who:
- Participates in a sport, game, activity, or competes in an organized event; and
- Performs some kind of physical activity, often requiring endurance, agility, or physical strength.
What do darts players participate in?
The first thing is that an athlete is somebody who participates in a sport.
So the logical question we can ask here is, “Is darts a sport?”
And arguably, darts is considered and recognized as a sport in quite a few different countries all around the world.
Of course, there are countries where darts is not considered a sport. So depending on where you live, darts may or may not be regarded as a real sport.
So if we go by the definition that a darts player is a person who participates in a sport; therefore, they can be considered an athlete in some countries.
According to the definition from Cambridge Dictionary, an athlete participates in organized events, which darts can be. Especially when we are talking about participating in tournaments, leagues, and just overall playing professionally.
This also covers the part that an athlete needs to participate in some kind of competition.
The other terminology used was that the activity could also be a game. Darts can surely be considered a game. So this checks out.
Do darts players perform a physical activity?
The other thing that is frequently mentioned is that an athlete is somebody who is participating in an activity that involves skill, agility, endurance, or physical exertion.
And this is where things get real tricky.
The main problem is what exactly is considered a physical activity. So one again, I decided to look for some explanations.
According to Wikipedia, a physical activity is, “… any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Physical activity encompasses all activities, at any intensity, performed during any time of day or night. […] This integrated activity may not be planned, structured, repetitive or purposeful for the improvement of fitness, and may include activities such as walking to the local shop, cleaning, working, active transport etc.”
And according to the Kansas State University, “Physical activity can be defined as any movement of the body that requires energy expenditure. This includes any motion you do through the day excluding sitting still or lying down. For example, walking to class, taking the stairs, mowing the lawn, and even cleaning your house can be considered physical activity.”
Darts requires a steady hand and, despite being small, a certain level of physical exertion.
I feel like people often mix up physical activity with exercise. Physical activity encompasses a lot of things. Even simple movements of the body can be considered physical activity. And exercise is a type of physical activity.
The physical activity can be of varying intensities. It can be light, moderate, or vigorous.
An example of light physical activity is slow walking. While standing still, sitting or lying are usually not considered physical activities.
So do darts players stand in one place or lie in bed?
Not really. They are constantly moving around, aiming, and throwing.
Granted, the physical exertion and movements are small and somewhat minimal. But in the worst case scenario this is still a light physical activity.
Each throw requires great amounts of balance, consistency, and control over one’s body.
To have consistent throws takes a lot of training and practice; it requires mental toughness and endurance as well. Keep in mind this is a competition after all.
People can say what they want, but to be good at darts does involve high amounts of skill.
Which darts players are not considered athletes?
Just because darts can be considered a sport and it does involve low levels of physical activity it does not mean that we all are athletes.
Of course, anyone can pick up a dart and throw it at the board and even hit it. But so is the case with football, basketball, and even baseball.
I can pick up a basketball and throw it and make the basket, but that does not automatically make me an athlete.
Darts can also be a hobby.
After all, darts started as a pub game, but it grew into something a lot bigger.
However, playing darts for fun, as a pastime activity, or just as a hobby does not really require you to invest any time practicing, developing strategies, and brushing up on your performance.
This is something that I personally believe is part of the daily routine of somebody who is participating professionally in a sport and can be considered an athlete.
So to the definitions mentioned above of an athlete, I would add a few more caveats.
- To participate professionally in a sport (You don’t necessarily need to earn money from it); and
- And to invest a great deal of time into improving your skill and performance.
Of course, this can change. But as long as darts is played for fun, that does not make us athletes.
There definitely is a fine line between a hobby and a sport. But it can be felt.
What makes darts such a controversial topic?
One of the arguments is that darts is not a real sport. And I see the reasoning behind it. However, I cannot really agree with that.
A few other activities and games that are falling into the same controversial category are also golf, billiards, bowling, curling, and more.
People often argue that these are not real sports because a real sport involves running, jumping, and feats of physical endurance and strength.
But all of the examples mentioned above do require some physical activity that needs to be honed in the physical body. However small they may be.
However, lately, we have seen that more and more activities are becoming more widely recognized as a sport like computer games, for example.
Although there is much weight to the fact that darts cannot be compared to say football, this does not mean it does not deserve to be labeled as a sport.
All sports are different and can require various feats of strength, skill, agility, or endurance.
Figure skating is also a sport, but can you compare it to say boxing or rugby?
No, not really.
And just because in figure skating, you do not require raw physical strength, does that mean that figure skaters are less of an athlete compared to boxers and rugby players?
So just because darts players are performing less strenuous physical activities does not mean that they are not worthy to be called athletes.
On the other hand, chess is another endless debate. Many consider chess to be just a game and not a sport. Because although it involves a lot of mental thinking, there is almost no physical exertion.
Do athletes need to be physically fit to be considered real athletes?
This is another controversial topic.
One of the arguments many have is that many darts players are overweight. And this is not very sportsman-like, or athlete-like if you will.
One can be fit without being an athlete, but cannot be an athlete if they are not fit.
Can you call somebody who may fall in the overweight category an athlete?
Some may say yes.
So where do we draw the line?
This is where we can take a few different examples like the sumo wrestlers. They are athletes, but are they considered fit or overweight?
First, they are strong, but it is hard to say how fit they can be considered. Sumo is a contact sport that involves a mixture of skill, strength and, well, raw weight.
Darts do not require the players to be upheld to the same strict regimes long-distance runners, gymnasts, and other athletes need to follow.
This naturally triggers the response that they are not worthy enough to be categorized as athletes. But this does not mean that dart players do not need to do frequent and extensive training on a daily basis.
The other thing is that darts has always been considered a pub game or a past time activity for the working man. This has been the case for many, many years.
Something that recently has started to change.
So naturally, there has been a lot of discussion and controversy around the topic. Many people are for or opposed darts being considered a sport, and darts players considered athletes.
Should darts players be considered athletes?
So what is my opinion on this topic?
I think that a darts player can be considered an athlete when they start playing professionally and get seriously into darts, start playing leagues, going to tourneys, and earning money from darts.
This is when things get really serious. Darts is not a hobby anymore. You will need to practice, develop throwing techniques and routines.
To be really good, it requires you to practice frequently and persistently.
You also need to improve your math skills. You need to incorporate planning and strategy while playing; otherwise, you are put at a severe disadvantage. And you need to be able to adapt on the go.
Just ask anyone, who says that darts does not require any skill, to throw a triple twenty.
Frequently you will have to work on your mental toughness (just as most other sports).
The pressure is huge when playing a tourney, and you need to learn how to relax when playing darts.
Playing darts as a hobby and pastime activity makes me a darts player not an athlete.
Being an athlete is a title that needs to be earned. | <urn:uuid:e5c248ee-2035-45fd-ac29-47a68ab25653> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dartsguide.net/guides/are-darts-players-athletes/ | 2020-09-30T17:36:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96982 | 2,490 |

Supplemental protein might be of interest to vegan athletes, particularly if achieving sufficient protein via wholefoods is either difficult or inconvenient. Daily use provides me with nutrition without weight gain. A blend of plant proteins from peas, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and alfalfa make it a complete protein source. Most customers say they like the taste and texture of this protein powder and the fact that it contains more protein per serving than many other brands. Prana power plant protein is a blend of pea, rice protein powder and fababean protein, fortified with isoleucine, leucine and valine. For me that is one of the most important aspects in the protein powder. To get the high-quality plant-based complete protein, soy isolate protein powders, like this one from bulksupplements, is your best bet. A quarter-cup (28-Gram) serving of soy protein isolate powder has about 95 calories and 22 grams of protein, depending on the brand. Dietary protein needs are higher in athletes than non-athletes. Although you are getting more protein in whey- or casein-based protein powders, vegan protein powders have the added benefit of supplying fiber and other important nutrients.

So how do we find out what the best vegan protein powder, or more aptly put, what is the best vegan protein powder for you? These two protein sources are often used in a plant-based protein powder, as they tend to complement each other with regards to taste, texture, and amino acid profile. I bought this because the price is right and i have been wanting a simple, unflavored veg-based protein. I agree to receive emails from kelly jones nutrition. Pea protein and rice proteins, however, have a harder flavour and texture profile to work with. Quality of ingredients: 4, The protein blend in this product is pea protein and organic pumpkin protein. Evidence shows that the amino acid leucine is an important trigger for muscle protein synthesis and it is in fact harder to get recommended amounts from single plant sources, other than soy. I was more than a little skeptical because, well, plant protein powders never seem to good just with water. From hemp to pea protein to power blends of plant proteins, there is no shortage of vegan protein powders out there. Try to select single sourced protein powders, like soy, pea protein, or hemp isolate. But, i have really gotten into running and strength training, and i needed something to add a good dose of protein and nutrition to my day. I have care/of vegan protein powder of my own and it would be wonderful if you part-take your honest opinion on this protein powder. Every protein from this company is vegan so take your pic of natural flavor, real coffee, smooth vanilla, rich chocolate, or wild strawberry.
In plant-based sports nutrition, registered dietitians enette larson-meyer and matt ruscigno combine decades of evidence-based research with personal experience working with-and as-vegan and vegetarian athletes to offer you a reliable and complete explanation of how, when, and why you need to plan your nutrient intake to maximize nutrition and get the best results. Thank you for this review, it was so helpful when i started searching for vegan proteins and immediately felt overwhelmed by all the choices. The additives in protein powders can also damage health. People are switching to plant-based protein powders for very personal reasons. Although we can still see some minor differences, such as plant proteins having more arginine and animal proteins slightly higher levels of valine, the discrepancies are so small that they will only really matter to the most nutritionally obsessed of athletes rather than to the mainstream consumer who just wants to bump up their daily protein consumption. I put it out to you guys as to which plant-based protein powders you loved most and i was blown away by the response. I know i love peas anyways so i was hoping pure pea protein would be the savior powder i am looking for, both with content and the great price. I recently tried vega one for the first time, but i think the sport would fit better into my lifestyle.
They are both pea protein isolate, artichoke protein, organic sprouted amaranth powder and organic sprouted quinoa powder. The amount of protein per 100g is going to be less from a plant base, which might advocate the use of a supplement. Both ranges are made using pea protein isolates; contain all branch-chain amino acids; and incorporate chia oil for omega-3s but the sports nutrition products contain 23g protein per dose versus 13g in the wellness line. Relationships between fat consumption, hormones and sport performance might require additional investigation. Taste: I really liked the taste of this protein powder. If you are looking for a powder with a high protein concentration and low calorie content, the garden of life raw organic protein powder is a smart solution. They have become a popular dietary addition, for example as part of smoothies, porridges and baked goods, but can also be made into chia protein powder. Thank you for taking the time to review these protein powders and for preparing them all the same way for a true comparison. Common examples of the limiting amino acids in plant-based proteins include lysine, methionine, isoleucine, threonine and tryptophan.
The optimum nutrition gold standard vegan protein powder is affordable, organic, and satisfies your sweet tooth. Because it is made from pure plant ingredients, it is easy for the body to absorb all the nutrients rather than flushing them out through your digestive system, as is the case with some other unnatural protein powders and supplements. The editor of this piece, casey johnston, is a powerlifter, frequent protein shake drinker, and author of a column on fitness and health called ask a swole woman at the hairpin. 30 Months ago, i eliminated all soy from my diet and decided to substitute hemp protein in it’s place. Optimum nutrition, owned by glanbia, are the biggest protein powder supplement company in the world. These days, popular powders are made from hemp, brown rice, or pea protein. Purely inspired organic protein 100% plant-based nutritional shake provides you with a premium, vegan protein you can feel good about. In a market flooded with brands, it can get a little overwhelming when you are looking for a product that tastes great and delivers quality nutrition. This is not an issue if you regularly eat a variety of plant foods or buy a powder that contains a blend of complementary proteins. Keep in mind that nutrition information varies by brand, so be sure to check the package labeling. In one 12-week study, 161 young men ate 25 grams or about 1 ounce of pea protein powder twice a day, including right after weight training.
PlantFusion Plant Based Blends
I wanted to make you aware of a fabulous vanilla protein powder available in amazon, but not included in your reviews. K eeping our protein intake sorted out on a vegan or vegetarian diet has never been simpler. Furthermore, whey protein has a much higher content of branched-chain amino acids (Bcaas), which help reduce protein degradation during heavy exercise as well as boosting muscle synthesis. We are familiar with some of the testing out there on protein powders. Nutritionally, it is everything that i am looking for, specifically the high protein/low sugar ratio; taste-wise, the stevia is a little overwhelming, but – major flavor hack – with 1 tbsp of raw cacao powder (A superfood), it’s delicious, like healthy, vegan chocolate milk! Yet a recent review noted that soy protein isolate contains plant compounds that have anticancer activity, including against breast cancer. Protein isolated from sunflower seeds is a relatively new vegan protein powder option. For many years, this by-product was considered waste and was fed to pigs until bodybuilders and dairy marketers realized it was high in protein and very cheap. Vegans can also consume calcium-set tofu, which is also rich in protein, to help achieve their requirements if palatable. It may seem more likely for an endurance athlete to succeed on a vegan diet than athletes in other sports. This included the sufficiency of energy and protein; the adequacy of vitamin b12, iron, zinc, calcium, iodine and vitamin d; and the lack of the long-chain n-3 fatty acids epa and dha in most plant-based sources.
It is very rare to find a vegan powder with no pea protein, which tends to make me feel very bloated. Most pea protein containing products tend to be higher on sodium content. In their whole form, pumpkin seeds are relatively high in protein and healthy fat. The chocolate flavor has 160 calories, 30 grams of protein, 3 grams of fat, and 6 grams of carbs. Now that you know what to look for when shopping for vegan protein powders, check out some of our top picks. However, some newer evidence has shown that despite lower leucine levels, pea protein may be equal to whey protein for muscle recovery. If flavour and texture are a big issue for you, look no further than prana power plant protein. A quarter-cup (28-Gram) serving of unflavored brown rice protein powder has about 107 calories and 22 grams of protein, depending on the brand. Being that i am 100% dairy free i can not do many proteins out there and so far over the years of trying different products, this is by far the best! While vegan proteins long had a rep for tasting pretty revolting, times have changed. One of the advantages of blending plant proteins is that it can provide optimal levels of all essential amino acids in a single product. Moreover, the muscle gains experienced with pea protein were similar to those of people consuming whey (Milk) protein.
Summary many vegan protein powders contain blends of different and typically complementary plant proteins to ensure you get adequate amounts of all essential amino acids. However i really wanted to use your link to by the bob mills protein powder but the link brings me to teff flour? Bottom line: Always ask the manufacturer how their proteins and other ingredients are processed. Like most plant proteins, pea protein is not a complete protein, and even those few that are, like soy, hemp and quinoa, have amino acid profiles that do not match those of animal proteins. I was also surprised that aloha protein powder did not meet your expectations. Test-tube research suggests that hemp seed protein may be a valuable source of blood-pressure-lowering compounds.
PlantFusion, Complete Protein, Creamy Vanilla Bean, 2 lb (900 g) Product Review
The nastiest protein I’ve EVER tried! Protein. Great protein powder. Awesome Plant Protein! Tasty I Loved It! Great product! I advise. I don’t like stevia. A great. My husband loves it and it tastes great. Thank you!
This is the most gross and nasty protein I’ve ever tried in my life. The taste is horrible, but the texture is even worse. You can feel the micro particles that doesn’t mix with any liquid. I’ve tried it with chocolate soy milk, coconut milk, almond milk – every single time it tasted nasty. I don’t have a strong gag reflex, but the texture of this one made me want to throw up. I gave it solid 5-6 chances and none of them worked. It even made me sick on my stomach and I experienced a few hours of belly ache. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
This was not my cup of tea. I didn’t like the gritty taste. I tried it twice and gave it to my friend, who loved it!
I find this protein powder tasty, smooth and easy to mix. Don’t find it very grainy which is good. I find the recovery good and nice in shakes, bliss balls and smoothies. Recommend.
Quite possibly the best plant based protein on the market!
It tastes delicious I tried it with my smoothies, pancake, and protein bowl. highly recommended
Surprisingly good tasting protein powder – most ones I try, especially the plant based ones, are pretty horrible. This one I can certainly tolerate, no, LIKE. Would buy again!
When I consumed this protein for the first time, the taste really seemed not very, too sweet. Then she began to mix with banana, kiwi and oat milk (a quick way to cook oatmeal milk – pour boiling water over the oatmeal, problender, pass through a sieve, and tasty sweet oatmeal is ready, tastier than if I don’t insist on oatmeal for the night, I don’t know about utility). It is possible without kiwi, but it well neutralizes the sweetness of this protein. The protein is very well ground, perfectly soluble in water, it foams a little, the texture of the finished drink is pleasant. If there were a little less sweetness, it would be perfect. If my review was helpful to you, click “Yes”)
I constantly drink Herbalife cocktails and look for a replacement for them. By taste preferences until the replacement is not found. This cocktail is well dissolved in a liquid, but very sweet for me – added stevia, which keeps a very long sweet aftertaste in your mouth.
I accept, like. Dusty bit when diluted with water.
My husband loves it and it tastes great. Thank you!
Questions and Answers
Any Cholesterol as it wasn’t mentioned.
Are there added sugars? What’s the grams of sugar for this?
No cholesterol Completely plant based.
There are no grams of sugar listed. However, under other ingredients, there is stevia extract powder listed. Stevia is a sugar substitute. | <urn:uuid:b2284dad-fa8b-474e-8ba3-fc590b26005e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://foodpharmacy.blog/plantfusion-plant-based-protein-creamy.html | 2020-09-30T17:31:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.946638 | 3,298 |

Constant Contact Text Messages: But First, Exactly What Is a Sales Channel?
Sales funnels (also called advertising and marketing funnels) are multi-step projects that are developed to relocate possible leads with your sales process, and transform them right into buyers.
Image a real-life funnel. At the top, you put liquid in, which limits in the direction of one taken care of destination.

ClickFunnels supplies a Free 14-Day Test, so you reach discover the tool as well as truly see if it’s ideal for your company.
* Rapidly Develop Pages Using Layouts and Components *.
Before getting as well much, it is necessary to comprehend that a channel is a collection of pages put together in a tactical order, with the goal of converting as lots of prospects into customers. As well as a web page is simply a collection of various aspects developed to obtain someone to take a specific activity.

I highly suggest going through those since they swiftly allow you to make use of the device at its complete capacity, as well as you’ll have extra fun messing around. Constant Contact Text Messages
* Produce One-Click Membership Sites *.
Among the very best attributes with ClickFunnels is the capability to easily produce membership websites and also supply material to your audience in one location.
Your subscription website will certainly come full with registration web pages, membership access pages, as well as content pages which you can conveniently lock or trickle feed to your clients according to purchases they made in your funnel.
ClickFunnels subscription sites permit you to send out e-mails, conveniently handle your emails, as well as develop a neighborhood all while getting rid of the anxiety that’s related to other services such as Kajabi, or WordPress systems.

With every channel comes email listing structure chances.
ClickFunnels supports email assimilation with every one of the major e-mail automation systems such as:
- Active Campaign
- Constant Contact
- Get Response
- Mad Mimi
- Market Hero
- And others
However, ClickFunnels also has their own powerful automation tool called Actionetics.
Although you could produce, routine, as well as supply emails just like any other email advertising platform, Actionetics is so much more.
I love Actionetics due to the fact that it not just changes your email advertising but messenger advertising and marketing and SMS advertising and marketing software applications also. This takes automation to a whole brand-new degree as well as assists you connect the ideal message to your consumers, precisely when they require it. A video clip summary of Actionetics will certainly be offered further listed below.

ClickFunnels integrates with major repayment entrances such as PayPal, Red Stripe, and InfusionSoft, to name a few.
While you could begin with the Free 14-Day Test, there are 3 various prices options with ClickFunnels:
- $ 97/month.
- $ 297/month.
- $ 997 bulk price cut plan (advised).
I’ll go into detail for every of these plans below.
1. ClickFunnels Standard Strategy – $97/month.
The basic plan includes all the features you would require within ClickFunnels, yet with limitations on the number of funnels (20) and also pages (100) you can have in your account, in addition to how many site visitors (20K) could watch your web pages each month.
You additionally do not obtain innovative functionality such as ClickFunnels very own e-mail advertising and also affiliate tracking tools.
2. ClickFunnels Etison Suite – $297/month.
This strategy includes all the bells as well as whistles of the basic plan, with no restrictions. It also comes with two extra products created by ClickFunnels called Actionetics (email advertising) and Knapsack (associate monitoring system).
In Actionetics – you can take care of all your calls that register for your list, send email broadcasts, and develop a host of various other automations. Constant Contact Text Messages
The distinction between the two strategies actually is the constraints, and Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a standard individual and don’t expect to utilize more than 20 funnels in your account – the Requirement Strategy must suffice.
However, if you intend to have an affiliate program or wish to keep your e-mail marketing within ClickFunnels and also not use a third party software, the Etison Collection is for you.
You can constantly begin on the reduced plan as well as upgrade if required.
3. Funnel Hacks System – $997
For anyone that’s severe concerning their organisation, the ClickFunnels Funnel Hacks System is the deal of the century.
The $997 Funnel Hacks System includes robust training programs packed with 6-month accessibility to the ClickFunnels Etison Collection.
This is an amazing offer because beyond this program, 6-months of Etison Suite alone would cost you $1782.

ClickFunnels vs. Everybody Else.
Many people ask exactly how ClickFunnels as compares to various other landing page building contractors such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and also Infusionsoft.
For the most part it’s not actually a reasonable comparison since each of these devices succeeds is one area or the various other.
The graph over provides a detailed analysis – however I’ll highlight several of the significant comparisons listed below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Before ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the huge canine.
Leadpages is merely a lead capture software program – absolutely nothing even more. You can create landing web pages, lead boxes, accumulate leads … that’s virtually it. In addition, the Leadpages themes are also limited on customization.
ClickFunnels is much more functional – it’s much easier to utilize and also does so a lot more compared to develop lead capture web pages.
Basically, Leadpages is really just a landing web page home builder, while ClickFunnels is focused around building highly integrated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a touchdown page or sales web page builder. It has a few of that functionality constructed it, however that’s not exactly what it’s recognized for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that permits you to manage your whole consumer data source. ClickFunnels has this capability with Actionetics, but it’s not virtually as progressed as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is additionally exceptionally expensive and pressures every new customer to pay $2000 for a compulsory kickstart training bundle simply to discover how you can make use of the complex system (which is notoriously hard to utilize).
ClickFunnels Affiliate Program
There are two main courses people decrease as ClickFunnels individuals.
Those that decide to use the device for their organisation – in hopes of someday achieve both Comma Club (over $1M in earnings).
And those that want gaining passive revenue as a ClickFunnels Affiliate and winning the Desire Car Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 to your dream car if you reach 100/200 energetic monthly signups, specifically).
With a whopping 40% regular monthly reoccuring payment, ClickFunnels quickly has among the greatest affiliate programs of any platform available.
That’s right – you make money a recurring 40% compensation on every affiliate signup you make via the ClickFunnels Associate Program. But, what does that really relate to?
The basic plan is a $97/month financial investment and also the Etison Collection strategy is a $297/month investment. therefore you make $38.80 per basic strategy and also $118.80 per Etison Suite strategy … each and every month!
Usually, every 100 signups will generate $4000/month in associate commissions (essentially depending upon the amount of Etison Strategy individuals remain in there).
The Bottom Line
ClickFunnels is pass on the best system if you are looking to conveniently develop high transforming sales funnels.
Since it was developed from scratch to be the best sales funnel builder, it defeats all of the competition in that respect.
On the surface, it might not be the most inexpensive product around – yet if you use it to its complete capacity, your organisation will certainly come to be much more lucrative and you will save money from not needing to make use of other tools. Constant Contact Text Messages
If you have actually read this much right into my ClickFunnels Evaluation, I advise you see for yourself with a Free 14-Day Test here. | <urn:uuid:eee81c09-442e-4807-b1e0-278363305c7c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://linhadechegada.com/constant-contact-text-messages-find-out-more/ | 2020-09-30T19:37:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.939782 | 3,369 |
ORGANIZING IS NOT PLANNING.
Plans are dumb.
A little mean, maybe but here’s what’s up. Planning is not a good idea, if you go into a situation doing tons of research and calculating your every move, you are basically trying to forge a path, out of nothing. Out of mid-air, and I’m not sure how miracles work and I’m there yet, but that’s hard. So instead of doing that, organize yourself. Start by sitting down and careful plotting with it is you want for any situation, be that your business, your dog-life or your love life.
We’re gonna be doing a little test exercise so you can then take it to your daily life and find out how to best your self.
Live a joyful life.
Step 1. What do you want?
During this step try and understand what it is you truly want. If it’s money, try and find the feeling that you think money will bring you because in my case, I don’t want money. I barely care about the green paper, what I want is abundance. I want to open my fridge and find a bunch of food always. Open my cookie jar and find cookies all the time.
Abundance is something money can bring me. So find that feeling. If it’s power, maybe what you really want is to be understood. If it’s sex, maybe what you want is to be loved.
Step 2. Identify variables that will allow this reality.
Every chance you miss is a second taken away from your best possible reality.
Once you have your goals straight, figure out activities that will allow for this.
Here are some examples.
Abundance ———- Steady Stream of Income
Love ——- Inner Peace
Time —— Stronger sense of flow (be where you have to be, not all over the place)
Success —— Knowledge to identify and seize potential opportunities with love.
Step 3. Act
This exercise allows you to organize situations in your brain as best as you possibly can, in order to have success whenever you are presented by a success or fail scenario.
Abundance —– Steady Stream of Income —— Multiple Revenue Streams —– ex. Sell Jewelry, Deliver Pizzas, Part-Time Gas Station Attendant
Repeat the process to find specific steps and act on them systematically. First one, then another, and so on.

This is an awe-inspiring tour to the towering headland known as Cape Point. Magnificent beaches, breathtaking views, historic and picturesque coastal villages are to be seen along the way. The Cape Peninsula is one of the world’s most scenic areas and stretches from the City centre to Cape Point.
We travel along the Atlantic Seaboard via Sea Point, Clifton and Camps Bay, stopping at a Llandudno look-out point before continuing to Hout Bay, a quaint village and fishing harbour with magnificent mountain views and beach. Optional: Seal Island boat trip (seasonal, weather permitting) (not included in cost). On through Chapman’s Peak , one of the world’s most breathtaking coastal drives, to Cape Point and the Good Hope Nature Reserve, which has magnificent fynbos vegetation, birdlife, endemic antelope species and zebra, historic lighthouses and shipwrecks. Cape Point is perceived to be the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
After lunch at a nearby restaurant (not included in cost), we go on to historic Simon’s Town, a village with charming Victorian architecture, a naval base and a large penguin colony at the beautiful Boulders Beach. Boulders Penguin Colony (included in cost) is home to a growing colony of the vulnerable African Penguin. Wooden walkways allow visitors to view the penguins in their natural habitat and there is also a new information centre.
We then make our way to visit the well-known Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. The Garden is one of eight National Botanical Gardens covering five of South Africa’s six different biomes. When Kirstenbosch, the most famous of the gardens, was founded in 1913 to preserve the country’s unique flora, it was the first botanical garden in the world with this ethos. The garden is world-renowned for the beauty and diversity of the Cape Flora it displays and for the magnificence of its setting against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. | <urn:uuid:db7a2a8e-d6dc-4d91-8b3d-9a27e755527f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mandelitatravel.com/en/cape-peninsula-tour/ | 2020-09-30T19:08:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.932823 | 424 |
“Saison 13,” a new MEGADETH-branded beer has just been made available in select Canadian provinces and will be coming to the U.S. this September.
You can watch the video teaser below.
In February, Mustaine talked about the new album with Kerrang.
“We’re trying to keep with that real heavy thing.” Dave said. Dystopia was more of us doing what makes us feel good; there’s a lot of super-heavy, fast drumming at the end of some songs.
“My son was in here two days ago, and when we were doing Dystopia, he was listening to the songs and making comments, and the ones he commented on were the ones that got the best response. When he came over this time, we were working on a song that has the tentative title ‘The Dogs Of Chernobyl’, and the intro riff has kind of a Hungarian guitar part, kind of like something MERCYFUL FATE did on ‘Into The Coven’. The song comes in super powerful and strong, and my son goes, ‘Oh god, that’s heavy as hell!’ and I just started laughing.”
MEGADETH‘s latest album, Dystopia opened with 48,000 copies, marking MEGADETH‘s highest-charting album since 1992’s Countdown To Extinction debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the chart dated August 1 of that year. Dystopia also logs the group’s best sales week since 2007, when United Abominations landed at No. 8 with first-week sales of 54,000. | <urn:uuid:4762591a-32c2-4ed5-aef9-7c0b5d432064> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://metaladdicts.com/site/megadeth-present-new-beer-saison-13/ | 2020-09-30T19:00:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.9699 | 360 |

Many thanks go out to Animal Control Officer Sanborn, a kind state trooper, an observant bus driver, and cat lovers driving on the road leading to the Massachusetts Turnpike. The bus driver pulled over after hearing people honking at her. As soon as the bus stopped, Stowaway jumped down from the undercarriage!
The state trooper was able to catch the scared but sweet cat and place her in the back seat of his patrol car until officer Sanborn arrived. Stowaway was treated for dehydration, but other than that she’s a healthy cat.
Does anyone recognize her? Stowaway was scanned but no microchip was found. One more reason people should always have their pets chipped. This sweet girl could be home now if anyone knew where “home” is.
If this is your cat, please contact the adoption center at (413) 781-1484. | <urn:uuid:025006df-ee66-475f-81c3-1bd7219ab44a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pictures-of-cats.org/thanks-to-good-samaritans-and-honking-horns-stowaway-cat-safely-rescued.html | 2020-09-30T19:22:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.964736 | 258 |
We’ll have to return to numerology to explain the rather creative approach to Prince’s platinum-selling fourteenth studio album. I’m aware I run the risk of making myself sound like a crackpot, but if you’ve been following along since For You, then you’re probably a little loony as well. Regardless, 33 is considered a master number; highly influential and in charge. 34 is introspective, intuitive, pragmatic, and creative. Which one sounds like Diamonds and Pearls, and which one sounds like The Love Symbol Album?
Of course, as Prince is susceptible to do, the conception of this album began during the latter sessions of Diamonds and Pearls; prior to the assembly of that album’s first configuration. “The Flow” was one of the tracks recorded in a jam session covered in better detail in my Diamonds and Pearls review, but it’s worth noting here that “The Flow” was the 13th and final track on the second configuration of Diamonds and Pearls. An early draft of “7” was tracked three months after the September 11th, 1990 tracking of “The Flow”; amidst heavy recording and production work for the overall Diamonds and Pearls product. Ironically enough, “Blue Light” was tracked on May 12th, 1991; two days after “Get Off,” the last track recorded for Diamonds and Pearls. Three songs from this album were all tracked in the aftermath of tracking songs for Diamonds and Pearls, undeniably creating a cohesion between these two records that listeners should be able to pick up on, especially since he had primarily used the same seven engineers on the previous album, as well as continuing similar themes, production and sound choices, and of course, the same band; mostly.
Nine days after “Cream” was released as a single and Prince’s appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show was broadcasted on September 9th, 1991, Prince and Tony M. tracked “My Name Is Prince,” as well as beginning his long process of re-recording and rearranging “7.” Prince would continuously tinker on the song well up until shortly before The Diamonds and Pearls Tour started. “Sweet Baby” was tracked the day Diamonds and Pearls was released, and then Prince and the band were largely quiet until December ’91; all-out jam sessions resulting in the tracking of “Sexy M.F.,””Love 2 the 9’s,” “The Morning Papers,” “The Max,” “Arrogance,” “And God Created Woman,” and “The Sacrifice of Victor,” all of which featured the entire strength of the second version of The New Power Generation and the NPG Hornz, save for “The Max,” which featured only Tony M., Mayte, and DJ Graves. This was more in-line with “Blue Light,” which only featured engineer Michael Koppelman on bass and Eric Leeds on sax. Mayte is credited with making her debut on a Prince track with her dialogue at the beginning of “Love 2 the 9’s,” so it brings credence to the train of thought that “The Max” was tracked a few days prior to Prince playing it for his guests at his 1991 New Years Eve party on December 31st, 1991, as more of a celebration for cranking out half an album’s worth of material in a month with his band, even with the absence of Rosie Gaines in the creative process. He had three-quarters of the eventual songs on the album tracked by the time he made an appearance for The Steeles on guitar at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis, MN on January 10th, 1992, and judging by the way his schedule was laid out, he likely had already begun work on tracking more songs to fill out the album.
The next night would see the full NPG perform with Prince at the Glam Slam club in preparation for The Diamonds and Pearls Tour, performing “Thunder,” “Willing and Able,” “Insatiable,” “Sexy M.F.,” and “The Sacrifice of Victor,” all live for the first time. “My Name Is Prince” was also performed for the first time live at this show, but only as an interpolation. The night after that, January 12th, would see Prince play a private show at the Paisley Park sound stage. The next live show wouldn’t be until two weeks later on January 27th, meaning in-between this three-day stretch of live performances, and in the nine days leading up to that three-day stretch, Prince had plenty of time to track “The Continental,” “Damn U,” “3 Chains o’ Gold,” three other tracks repurposed to other artists, reworking the track “Sex,” a re-recording of “The Flow,” with additional re-recording work and rap overdubs done by Tony M. on “The Max”; none of which was previewed at that short, private afterparty at Paisley Park at midnight on January 27th, after Super Bowl XXVI, which took place at the Metrodome in Minneapolis, MN.
After this month, Clare Fischer would perform orchestral work on “Damn U” and “3 Chains o’ Gold” throughout February at Ocean Way Recordings in Hollywood, CA; likely the same time Kirstie Alley performed vocal recordings for “Damn U,” “Arrogance,” and multiple segues. It’s common knowledge now, but this album was originally supposed to have 24 tracks, featuring up to eight segues and an intro, in order to properly provide more context behind the metaphorical story within the album that saw Prince falling in love with a princess. These segues were the basis of the “fantasy rock soap opera” that this album is often labeled as, and although the feeling of that grandiose poise is apparent on this album more so than its predecessor, the choice to cut these segues and the intro eliminates the narrative entirely and instead creates a commentary on celebrity; much more in-line with its predecessor. A first configuration of the album featuring all eight segues and an intro was assembled the following month; March.
A month after that would see The Diamonds and Pearls Tour begin on April 3rd, 1992 at the Tokyo Dome. After four shows on the 3rd, 4th, 7th, and 9th, the first leg of the The Diamonds and Pearls Tour came to an end at the Yokohama Stadium. Four days later, on April 13th, Prince began the second leg of the tour at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Boondall, Australia, touring the country for the first time in his career. The second leg of the tour lasted until May 3rd, ending with a performance at Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney, Australia; the first concert ever held at the venue. Three weeks passed, and the third and final leg of the tour began in Ghent, Belgium at the Flanders Expo venue on May 25th, after it was announced on May 5th that they would be switching this show with the May 28th show in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The extensive third leg toured a majority of Northern Europe, finally coming to an end on July 12th, 1992, at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France.
A decent amount of the tracks on The Love Symbol Album were performed on The Diamonds and Pearls Tour, but it wasn’t until Prince returned home and tracked “👁️ Wanna Melt With U” shortly after the tour ended that he began to further flesh his vision out for the final product. A second configuration of the album was assembled sometime within the following month, cutting one of the segues and replacing it with the “👁️ Wanna Melt With U,” but obviously further alterations were needed. 24 tracks is a lot even by today’s streaming standards, and in order to fit everything on one CD, most of the segues had to be cut.
Of course, before the album was released, a new contract had to be negotiated with the label. Prince would go on to sign a new deal1 with Warner Bros. to become the highest-paid musician in the industry, as well as offer incentives into other aspects of the entertainment business, but we all know how that turned out for both parties. A deeper dive into Prince’s contract can be done elsewhere, as it’s been covered in greater detail by numerous outlets, publications, and fans2; reported widely about on September 4th, 1992. Conflicts with the label wouldn’t officially begin until next year, but for all intents and purposes, the second Prince signed that dotted line, he sealed his own fate.
Rosie Gaines officially left the band after the tour, after not contributing to the upcoming album in any way. Her vocals would be missed, but Morris Hayes would replace her on the keyboard, who ended up being the longest tenured member of the band/collective in the long run. However, half of this album consists of full band recordings, including the NPG Hornz, and the other half is still Prince solo recordings. Cutting Rosie out of the band signaled the beginning of the end, as even though it likely initially strengthened ties with the rest of the band, it’s undeniable their influence was already fading, resulting in this being the last album co-credited to The New Power Generation in a traditional studio album release. The album was also compromised by the decision to edit out most of the narrative, as they had to be included on the 3 Chains o’ Gold video that also featured most of the songs on the album; properly fleshing out the full storyline.
Which is fine, because starting off your unpronounceable, introspective rock soap opera with a badass, uptempo club track titled “My Name Is Prince,” eight months before changing his name3 to said symbol confused listeners enough that a full storyline of segues scattered intermittently throughout the lengthy album would’ve likely turned confusion and intrigue into annoyance. Sonny T.’s funky bass hits hard, crawling along against the quick-paced snares, letting Prince use his rapping style to turn the track into more of a club song that allows the crowd to shout each line in place of actually rapping. Tony M. closes the song out by attempting to go double-time in an era where respected MC’s had already been doing that, and it’s not really impressive when his bars aren’t great either. It’s still a really fun song, but it’s not the highlight that it may have appeared to have been when it was first released.
“Sexy M.F.” is definitely the stronger of the two singles that start this album off. The smooth, jazzy instrumentation would become synonymous with the genre of jazz in the decade as a whole, but unlike the muzak that would perverse the genre in the decade, Prince’s low tone in this subdued vocal style compliments the composition perfectly. The scratches and the instrumentation during the ending breakdown of “My Name Is Prince” flow directly into “Sexy M.F.,” painting an elegant, famous lifestyle as the uptempo compositions differ in only their stylized instrumentation. Barbarella’s goofy keyboard synths permeate in the background while the masterful rhythm section, guitar work, and horns more than fill their role; creating a hospitable environment for anyone simply looking for good, lively tunes. Prince’s confident attitude borders on egotistical, and his signature rapping style only accentuates that on these tracks.
The ending of the song serves as a metaphor for the summarization of the album; well-thought out but not properly executed. Tony M.’s “shaking that ass” could’ve been cut completely and you still would’ve had that excellent breakdown that actually ends the song. This ending leads to awkward pacing, and the unorthodox opening of “Love 2 the 9’s” also serves as a metaphor for the album as a whole; when the interesting compositions and ideas actually mesh to create something beautiful. The stop-and-go instrumentation, as well as the syncopated vocal rhythm, eventually giveaway to a breakdown that highlights interesting questions between what one could figure to be two lovers, as the question of if someone can love you “to the nines” consistently permeates with his own melodious background vocals that are expertly dispersed at the most well-timed moments of the groove. The horns are lively, the falsetto howls near the very end of the track, and the diffident instrumentation finally brims over with the kind of overly optimistic energy one expresses when professing their intimate feelings to another. It’s a powerful song that is expertly crafted and integrated into the track listing, one that successfully makes the average consumer gain insight into the vulnerability of a celebrity lusting for love; retaining much of the same themes and general message of the superfluous, bloated version of the original track list.
That feeling continue on “The Morning Papers,” which is influenced greatly by Mayte, a dancer on The Diamonds and Pearls Tour who he would famously marry in 1996. In 1992 she was only 18, and the lyrics on the song hint at a scandalous relationship that can’t be fully explored, lest “the papers” find out. Full instrumentation is the name of the game, as the horns and guitar incrementally flash from the mix and flesh out that soulful-rock feeling. The guitar actually floats in the background on this track as the horns and piano take center-stage for once, as even Michael B.’s drums have a more upfront presence on this one. That production choice is inverted on the following track, as “The Max” is as barren as a stripped-down track during the Dirty Mind sessions, and is at great odds with everything before it.
It sounds amateurish, especially for early ’90s hip hop standards, but it does possess interesting qualities, and on a meta-level, serves to start the storyline of the “prince” falling in love with a princess; intelligently placing the first segue at the end of the track after hiding “her” from “the morning papers,” adding so much more intrigue to an album that some could get away with claiming has nothing else going for it. Most of these compositions and ideas are more progressive than the traditional LP approach of Diamonds and Pearls, and I often argue it strengthens this album’s appeal since Prince was going rather left-field with the storyline, the segues, the videos, and the overall concept of the album anyway. It’s exactly why I don’t hate “The Max,” even when the best thing about it for the first two minutes is actually Tony M., and no, that’s not a joke. He’s relegated to three lines on the chorus, which is actually just a different approach to a call-and-response with Prince, and it’s actually enjoyable as his voice sets a tone that Prince’s just doesn’t. Unfortunately, the droning synth solo shortly after the two minute mark isn’t very good, but the bluesy piano keys and breakdown, as well as the funky guitar strings dispersed throughout the latter half of the track, really go a long way in keeping me interested in the composition.
Prince and Mayte share some sexual chemistry in their dialogue near the end of the song, and after the chorus and another breakdown, we get our first segue of the album with “Vanessa Bartholomew,” who Prince hangs up on once she says she’s recording their conversation. The following track, “Blue Light,” really solidifies the themes and subtext of the record, in a really creative way. A recurring element of Prince’s album pacing that I know my regular readers are familiar with is the five-track album side where the third track acts as the emotional anchor for that side of music, and he uses it once again with “Blue Light” on this side. Old habits die hard, but when adding new elements, you get interesting results. Prince attempts a reggae composition for the first time in his career, and as off-putting as that sounds, his poetic verses and masterful use of meter compliment the relaxed instrumentation well; fermenting a loving atmosphere. The video was shot on the Paisley Park sound stage, with a bright blue light to boot, highlighting Mayte and Prince’s interactions, obviously giving a big nod to their effervescing relationship more than a side of music and a home video consisting of a metaphorical story for their relationship could subconsciously hint at.
On its own however, the track still stands above the rest on this side. Sonny T.’s bass is fat and funky, and reading that may give you a laugh, but the foundation that this groove rests on is in the heavy low tone of that bass. The drums give a slow-paced rhythm that Prince’s perfectly-tuned guitar twangs along with as the horns put the icing on the cake. The Purple One’s pitch is perfect on the verses as it is in his own backup vocals, and it’s all washed away by “👁️ Wanna Melt With U,” another barren track that actually attempts to solve that solution by adding a wall of noise around the dated pulsating synth rhythm. Michel B.’s deep bass drum that provides the space necessary for the synth rhythm to become the melody is actually pleasing to the ear, but sadly, the background synths that constitute the wall of noise make Prince’s vocals melt into the sound, which I’m sure was the intention, but it doesn’t sound all that great. The DJ scratches from “The Max” return, bridging the ideas together as Prince is susceptible to do for the even-numbered tracks of his five-track sides of records with an emotional anchor directly in the middle. In this case, the lyrics to “The Max” would suggest that he’s attempting to woo his lover, before wanting to lie down with her later in this song.
A funky little story about you and me (Oh, I want to melt with u)
Getting busy for awhile
From the tip of my typhoon (Oh, I want to melt with u)
To the bottom of your ankle chains
We gonna shake and shake and shake
Until we’re both deranged
This is the ultimate rave
Oh, I want to melt with you
S to the S
That’s all well and good, par for the course for The Purple One really, but with “Sweet Baby” following it on the track list, he closes this side of music with a focused vision of a celebrity showing his vulnerability to someone he’s fallen for. Another solid bass line contribution by Sonny T. goes a long way into creating an excellent rhythm for Prince’s falsetto and backup falsetto to flow along with the groove. Michael B.’s well-tuned snare is the complimentary piece to that rhythm, which reminds me of “Strollin'” from Diamonds and Pearls in that it’s a throwback to that soulful ’70s sound without attempting to modernize the composition too much. It’s an understated number that goes for a more traditional, timeless sound than a contemporary one; pleading for his lover to be strong through the world’s efforts, or the press if you’re reading into the storyline, to stain her reputation, and praising her for it as well. We’ve received more character development on one record in a double album than we did in the Graffiti Bridge film.
The theme continues on record two, even though “The Continental” is pure ’90s cheese. Prince’s vocals are on-key regardless of pitch, but as usual with Barbarella, goofy synth work holds the track back. The rhythm arrangement and the horns are masterful, and I even like the DJ scratching and beefy guitar riffs, but the cluttered wall-of-sound production dates the uptempo composition to the contemporary early ’90s era that it was birthed in. I’ve stated before that it’s great for people who enjoy the sound of this time period, as it’s incredibly fun and does possess a charm, even strengthening the concept of the album, but it’s not something I could recommend. The quiet, poppy breakdown in this track prior to Carmen Electra’s exotic spoken word-rap became a characteristic of boy bands later in the decade, but unlike the superficial, generic mainstream music those groups created, Prince follows up this track with “Damn U,” an incredibly soulful track that sees a wiser Prince returning to his roots with all the production tact he’s gained over the years to craft a masterful ballad worthy of residing in the era he released his debut at the tail end of.
Michael B. proves to be The Purple One’s best drummer, as his heavy, slow snare melts away into the back of the stereo space that Prince’s reverberated voice projects from. The relaxed atmosphere is a product of the perfect balance on the reverb applied to his voice, but the momentum he’s gathered thus far is derailed by the ensuing two tracks that feed the gluttonous nature of celebrity. “Arrogance” is an empty track with synths that sound as eerie as they do cheap, contrasting greatly to the lush instrumentation of “Damn U,” but the skit at the beginning only proves that it was intentional, but the track just isn’t that good, as Prince’s rapping is honestly below average when he doesn’t stick to the script, so to speak. The track is at least over quick, but all it leads to is a hip hop explosion with “The Flow,” where Prince again tries to rap his ass off, and once again, without much success.
The instrumentation is barren and par for the course of early ’90s hip hop, and when Tony M.’s below-average double-time flow is better than Prince’s, then you know you’re in for a rough listening. Tony’s verse came from a verse he performed for “The Future” when performing on The Nude Tour, but they’re still better than Prince’s lyrics, which contain so much cussing that it sounds unnatural and edgy in order to connect with younger people, and that’s never been his style. Honestly, the best part of the track is when the backbeat and slick horns ride out the rest of the instrumentation for the remainder of the record, which in all honestly, is an overwhelmingly disappointing side of music that contributes little to the overall arching themes and storyline of the album. This song, and the last one to an extent, basically scraps the storyline to allow Prince to just act like an ass
The storyline does pick back up on the next side of music, and with one of the most well-written tracks The Purple One has ever tracked; “7.” There’s been dissertations done on the full meaning behind this song, but regardless of how you interpret the song, Prince definitely found inspiration from various places when writing this song. There’s undeniable references to biblical phrases, and even the use of the number seven is a symbol for the deadly sins and religion as a whole. His beautiful vocals are perfectly stacked and balanced with the reverb, as the plodding bass and heavy snare take center stage with his vocals to give him a slow rhythm to preach over, essentially. The rest of the stereo space is filled with background vocals, sound effects, and other rhythmic sounds to at least give a sense of urgency to the composition. It’s an absolutely gorgeous song that is essential listening, and it’s placement in the track listing sets a theme in place that The Purple One sticks to for the entirety of this final side of music on this album.
“And God Created Woman” sounds like it could be on a Jimi Hendrix album, so the old-school, ’70s approach to the contemporary composition is more than satisfactory. The instrumentation can be a little too sappy, but Prince is so far into his element at this point that his vocal work on the track is a top-tier performance. A deep groove provides a foundation for wide open stereo space, which is filled by a full band performance, resulting in another one of these throwback songs that speaks highly of the woman who’s caught his eye, and if you’re paying attention, yes, it continues the story and theme of the album. “7” has the pair connecting spiritually despite opposition; “And God Created Woman” sees Prince recounting a story of Genesis from The Bible, coming to the realization that love is what makes a man and a woman whole. It’s a powerful song that keeps the momentum from “7” riding into “3 Chains o’ Gold,” the “Bohemian Rhapsody” of Prince’s catalogue, as it’s often described.
Really, this whole side of music almost seems to be a dedication to the progressive stadium rock elements Queen had become famous for when Prince was in his late-teens. Freddie Mercury tragically passed due to complications from the AIDS virus on November 24th, 1991; the day after Diamonds and Pearls fell down from sixth to seventh on the Billboard Top 200. Obviously he couldn’t make a tribute to him on that album, so we get it here, and with Prince’s propensity to fully invest into something, it’s perfectly nestled as the penultimate track on his “fantasy rock soap opera”; absolutely genius. Do I believe Merrcury’s death was at the forefront of his mind when this track and album were initially conceived? No. Do I believe it was on his mind and was a factor in the overall themes of the album? Yes.
On a more individual track and technical perspective, the comparison to “Bohemian Rhapsody” is fair, as the ever-morphing instrumentation begins with a short piano introduction, and then the pretty keys stop once he begins to ride the contemporary guitar line across the barren stereo space. Various emotions are displayed by a multitude of motifs in the instrumentation, engineered to be mixed as just background music, keeping everything moving fluidly until the song erupts into a heavy, dramatic choir. This happens a few times throughout the track, and it’s remarkable how elegant, exquisite, and powerful the full band is on the track; comparable to the titular objects in question. The second and final skit of the album shows up at the end of this track, with Prince calling the reporter back up in a voice changer to play mind games with her, forcing her to play her trump card once she realizes she can’t get him to bend to her will.
“The Sacrifice of Victor” ends the album, and the concept as whole, rather fittingly. The reporter reveals the princess of the story to be only 16, the age Mayte was when he met her in 1990. Instead of confessing to a scandalous accusation, we’re treated to a bass line so good that Prince had to namedrop Sonny at the start of the track. Michael B. swings along with the bass to give Prince a standard early ’90s hip hop-pop crossover composition, but when your voice is as great as Prince’s, who showcases his incredible range on this track, how can you not love it? The wall of sound approach returns to fill out the stereo space, as there’s not much going on other than the groove, but after the two grand progressive tracks before it, it’s the perfect song to either have your final dance, or sit back and relax to. The backup vocals are heavenly and diverse, not relying on solely Prince for once, as Prince and The NPG shout about sacrificing for the greater good, with Prince getting semi-autobiographical in the verses to explain how he was always different, searching for his own purpose, and that’s why he will be a “victor” in life.
1967 in a bus marked public schools
Rode me and a group of unsuspecting political tools
Our parents wondered what it was like to have another color near
So they put their babies together to eliminate the fear…
Never understood my old friends laughing
They got high when everything else got wrong (pass the booze up here)
Dr. king was killed and the streets
They started burnin’
When the smoke was cleared, their high was gone
Education got important, so important 2 victor
A little more important than ripple and weed
Bernadette’s a lady, and she told me (what she say?)
“whatever you do son, a little discipline is what you need,
Is what you need, you need to sacrifice”
I noted that people were confused about the name change to an unpronounceable symbol earlier, but this song also caused confusion, as people actually believed the symbol could be broken down to spell out V-I-C-T-O-R. This will be covered later, as I don’t want to get ahead of myself, so I’ll simply say that the amazing groove is perfectly complimented by the perfectly-tuned horns shrieking above the mix. The song fades away to a satisfying ending to a rather thought-provoking album. It’s not without its flaws, but the intent was executed well despite some bloating in the track list, dated production choices, and one or two songs that could’ve been completely cut from the record. The home video that accompanies this album is worth a watch for the full, unedited storyline, but I honestly find the album to be the more intriguing project of the two. There’s more reward upon repeat listens, and the mythos-strengthening references and homages throughout the album only paint a more vivid picture in the thought process of the man displayed on the mysterious album cover. The symbol overlaying the dystopian world sits above the group, hinting at what he’s on the verge of becoming; the numerous interpretations one can gather from the overall project only add to the overall appeal.
Released on October 5th, 1992 in the UK, and on the 13th in the US, the album went platinum on December 17th, 1992. In between then however, his old manager Steve Fargnoli had sued his firm4, after his previous suit covered in my Diamonds and Pearls review was dismissed. The lawsuit wouldn’t be settled until next year, and by then Prince already had other, bigger issues going on. At the time, it seemed like The Purple One was going under a critical and commercial revival, as the album still sold well and received great reviews, but this album signified the end of his commercial peak. How does one deal with former managers constant lawsuits, especially since they all came in a relatively short time span? Working vigilantly on new content of course; what else were you expecting by this point?
The Ryde Dyvine was a video filmed on 12/17/1992 for a band that featured Sonny T. and Michael Hayes, as well as The Steeles, and possibly Michael B.; credited as Minneapolis, a band that Prince would’ve headed much like The Time. Recordings were throughout 1992 and 1994, as intentions to release an album under this band only resulted in a single in ’94. The video shoot was performed on the Paisley Park sound stage, and was the last performance of the year, after a guest appearance with an unidentified blues band at the Le Loft hotel in Miami, FL on 11/25/1992. This performance came 13 days after news of Fargnoli’s third lawsuit against Prince, who had already fired the guys who replaced Albert Magnoli a year after hiring them, before suing them two months prior to getting sued himself5. He had been self-managing himself since 1991, so to see him approaching the end of his legal battles with spiteful old managers, his time as Prince, his relationship with Warner Bros., and seeing The New Power Generation become an actual backing band in their own right and not a tool at Prince’s disposal, it’s only more poetic that everything came to a head at the end of 1992, as the rest of the decade would see him take a completely different path. This makes it all the more fitting that this album possesses all the themes it does, as it marries the spiritual ideas he had begun formulating from Lovesexy with the materialistic lifestyle he was famous for, and his career path would never be the same.

However, sometimes you may experience that the blocked site continues to be accessible to the user and vice-versa. This issue may arise because of your DNS caching. The way DNS protocols work, the DNS responses have a Time To Live (TTL) which ranges between a few seconds to a few hours. If you do not see your block/allow changes reflected it may mean that the TTL on the DNS entry for that domain has not yet expired.
Once the TTL expires and a new DNS query is made, your changes will be reflected. However, you can also expedite this process by clearing your DNS cache.
To do this execute the following commands and restart your browser
- Windows - command line: ipconfig /flushdns
- MacOS - terminal: dscacheutil -flushcache
Note that the DNS cache on your server would also need to be cleared
In the DNS Manager, right-click the server name and select ‘Clear Cache’. | <urn:uuid:4fb69880-9042-4da4-bd21-f63b92107db8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://support.securly.com/hc/en-us/articles/203053946-Why-is-the-Global-Allow-Deny-list-not-working-as-expected- | 2020-09-30T20:06:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.911192 | 251 |

There is never a shortage of people and organisations to whom repeated and embarrassingly effusive ‘thanks’ are owed for their support and encouragement in the making of each issue. This is only more true in a time of worldwide upheaval as we struggle through the COVID-19 outbreak and reckon with our various and ongoing legacies of racism. Yet there is never space enough to thank everyone we should – we hope, though, that those we cannot mention by name know who you are.
That said, special mention must be paid to the visual artists, whose extraordinary work gives this issue its particular and arresting watermark:
Ann-Kathrin Müller is an image-maker focusing in naturalistic painting and conceptual drawing. She is currently based in Edinburgh where she graduated from art school in 2018. This fall, she will embark on her practice-based PhD on the co-genesis of drawing and writing with supervision from the Bauhaus in Weimar (Germany) and from the Glasgow School of Art.
A note on Müller’s works in this issue: A fascinating aspect of code is its mediatedness: it is not directly accessible or intuitively understandable but has to be learned and needs a machine to run the programme. This mediatedness is reflected in some ways in how a drawing works: for example, the image surface is like an in-between, a mediation, between the artist or viewer and the image content. I make this aspect visible by creating a layer in my images that draws attention to the image surface, like the evenly distributed crosses in the shown drawings. ‘Behind’ this ‘flat’ layer there is another situation happening in the ‘depth’ of the image space. This constellation may create a feeling of ‘looking through’ in the viewer, looking at something that lies ‘behind’ the layer of the image surface. In reality, of course, this perceived depth is just as flat as the rest of the drawing.”
Becky Brewis (instagram: @becky_brewis) re-handles autobiographical and historical images to explore how the past permeates and puts pressure on the present, psychologically and materially. In 2018-19 she was artist in residence at the Centre for Philosophy and Visual Art at King’s College London. She was selected by Tina Keane for Visions in the Nunnery 2018, a biennial showcase of moving image, and was shortlisted for the Jerwood Drawing Prize 2017. She has been awarded residencies in Ireland, Finland and the Netherlands as well as at Dumfries House, Scotland and Hackney’s Space Studios, London. She was awarded a place on the Royal Drawing School’s funded postgraduate programme The Drawing Year (2015-16) and is currently an MFA student at Edinburgh College of Art. She lives in Dundee. See her website for past exhibitions.
In addition, special thanks are owed to the staff and advisors in the School of English at the University of St Andrews for their support and guidance; thank you to The Poetry Society, The Scottish Poetry Library, and StAnza, Scotland’s International Poetry Festival, for helping to promote the magazine.

Need some help to pick the right instructor course?
If you have landed here you are probably considering doing an instructor course? If you do it you won’t regret it. Becoming an instructor could be the best decision you make today.
Before you can live the lifestyle you will need to work out which route to qualified instructor you should follow. There are a huge amount of options and paths out there and it’s not always that clear which is the right solution so here is our guide to choosing the right course.
What do you want from a course?
Before you start getting confused about all of the options you can choose from, the first thing to do is understand why you want to do a ski instructor course.
Everyone will have their own motivations. One constant is to spend a lifetime or two skiing or snowboarding and making the mountains your office! Becoming an instructor means saying goodbye to the 9 to 5 and opening your world up to a better way of life in the mountains teaching people how to ski!
You may be thinking, I just want to do a ski instructor course to improve my skiing and spend some time in the mountains, I don’t want to teach in the future. A ski instructor course is a great way to achieve the discipline needed to be a great skier.
However, we also have a range of other courses you might want to check out, such as our All Mountain Courses and Performance Courses. These focus more on all-round ski or snowboard performance (piste performance, backcountry, freestyle and any other skills you want to learn) and less on teaching kids how to snowplough turn and stressing about exams.
There are a handful of factors to consider. Are you a good enough skier? Which resort do you want to base yourself in? Which system do you want to qualify under? Where do you want to work in the future?
Am I good enough?
At the start of a course, you will get assessed on your skiing or snowboarding technical ability, as well as various other elements such as your mountain knowledge, ability to critically analyse other skiers and your presentation skills.
If you are a good holiday skier i.e. confident on red runs, able to take on black runs and consider yourself an outgoing character, then the chances are you have got what it takes to make a great ski instructor. Our video with our head coach Craig Halliday will show you the basic levels of competency that you should have to start your course.
Where should I train?
When choosing which resort you want to do your training in the simplest factor to consider is will you enjoy spending a full season there? It’s easy to get bogged down in the technicalities but at the end of the day the resort you choose will also become your home for the full season.
Basecamp run ski instructor courses in Méribel in France, Banff in Canada and Mt Ruapehu in New Zealand. Each location we pick must have a few things: Access to World Class skiing terrain and a buzzing and lively ski community.
The right resort can help your future in the industry as it will enable you to carve a handful of crucial connections in the ski world.
Which qualification should I do?
There are plenty of internationally recognised ski instructor qualifications around the world, all recognised by the ISIA, which is the international ‘holding’ organisation. However, the options generally get narrowed down to BASI for the European resorts, and CSIA for the Canadian resorts.
People can often get obsessive when making a decision about which qualification to choose and it is very important to remember that these are only your first qualifications, you are not set in one particular system for life.
You are able to transfer your qualification from one to the other, so your best bet is to choose which resort you want to spend a season in and take the qualifications on offer there, have a good time and qualify.
If at the end of the season you decide that you want to work in different resorts or would like to be qualified under a different system you will be able to take a quick “equivalence” course at the start of the next season.
Ski instructors are constantly investing in their qualifications, and gaining more and more certificates, so this is very common. If you want more detail on the choice between BASI and CSIA then have a read of this blog that we recently wrote on the subject.
Which course provider?
A lot of the above can boil down to which is the best ski instructor course? All ski training organisations are based in different resorts and offer a range of qualifications. The benefit of going through a training organisation, like us, is that the ski courses on offer will take you through all of the different criteria that you will need to be eligible for the qualification and train you so that you will be put in the best possible position to pass the course.
You will also be training with a number of like-minded souls, all starting their ski journey. The ski industry is a small world and when trying to find a job it can be about “who knows who”, so you immediately have a large pool of connections to fall back on.
Not only in your fellow course participators but also in the organisation itself with the trainers, and company directors. Basecamp has been training instructors for over 10 years and we have a lot of connections that we are always calling on to help people who have qualified with us get their dream job.
This year we are introducing courses that also get you an apprenticeship, helping you to get the essential teaching hours in as well as making a name for yourself.
How much does a course cost?
The price tag on the full Level 1 and Level 2 instructor courses may initially seem high, but ski resorts are expensive places and once you put together the numbers you will find that the courses are in fact fantastic value for what you get.
It is very important to make sure you have spoken at length with the organisation to double check what is and is not included in the course package, as you need to manage your finances right and do not want to find yourself shortchanged in resort!
Generally, we wouldn’t recommend going with the cheapest provider, as there is usually a reason why they are so cheap! Assess value for money and whether you feel the provider will offer a quality course with good support in the resort and a good reputation afterwards.
READ MORE: HOW CAN I AFFORD A SKI INSTRUCTOR COURSE?
How do I make the right choice?
The key is to do your research, talk to the companies and talk to people in the ski world you will quickly find who runs good courses. Check to see how long a company has been established and ask to speak to some past clients.
All these points will help you make sure you have done your thorough research and put you in a great position to make an informed decision and your time in the mountains as awesome as possible. It certainly will not be one that you’ll regret! | <urn:uuid:98d0e8c2-00ea-4005-83f3-2c9cc266db73> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.basecampgroup.com/blog/choosing-the-right-ski-instructor-courses-5590/ | 2020-09-30T18:28:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.96295 | 1,458 |

When it comes to cable installation, the "right" tools and testers can improve residential profitability.
January 1, 2006
Print this page
Efficiency is vital in cable installation. Increasingly vast networks of wires and cables supply vital electric power and communication services, increasing demands on a contractor’s time.
As line installers and repairers fervently install new lines and repair existing ones, the desire to do so more quickly and economically has increased.
This certainly applies to residential installations. In addition to basic electrical, telephone and TV cable, today’s homes now require structured cabling for computer networks, security systems and advanced home entertainment.
In today’s competitive residential installation, there are new tools and testers emerging at a rapid rate to perform various tasks and make the installer more efficient.
Installation: Vital for efficient cable installations are timesaving and ergonomic tools for cutting, stripping and working with all types of wire and cable. The correct punchdown termination tool enables the installation of Cat 5(e) jacks six to eight times faster. Punchdown tools increase accuracy and reliability.
Fewer reworks are needed, which increases client confidence. A punchdown tool may also be safer, reducing the risk that you will punch into the palms of hands or through drywall.
There are three types used to terminate telecommunications cables: manual, impact and multi-wire. When any conductor is punched down, force is required to seat the conductor.
That power can be derived from one of two methods: by human power by which an installer will use his hand or arm to generate the force to seat the conductor using a non-impact tool, or by the use of an impact tool.
The basic impact tool has a spring-loaded head, which is compressed by the installer with very little force required.
Once the spring reaches full compression, it is automatically released and the force is transferred to the head of the impact tool, which then seats the conductor. Advanced multi-wire tools terminate all pairs with one squeeze, reducing hand fatigue.
Most impact tools can be fitted with a number of interchangeable blades, depending on the cabling system being used.
The advantages of an impact tool are speed, ease-of-use and consistency of termination. The tool will help you push each wire into the slot to make a permanent connection.
Advanced punchdown tools have a built-in blade that cuts off the excess wire after the wire is pushed onto the connector, others may require wire cutters. They also offer an easy-to-use handle and a built-in bed that helps hold the jack in place.
Other new features include replaceable blade head for use with multiple jack types and wall-friendly designs to accommodate close-to-wall installations.
To use an advanced punchdown tool, the installer must first determine the wiring scheme in place, strip the cable jacket, place the eight wires in their respective slots, and then insert the jack in the tool.
After the trigger is pulled completely, the wires will be seated and cut for a solid termination. The handle is then released and the jack is removed from the tool. After visually verifying the proper termination, standard dress and press procedures are followed.
The combination of faster, more reliable terminations and less rework can cut the cost of this portion of the installation job by as much as 80%.
Three stages for residential testing: After installation, the job must be tested and delivered to the customer. For residential installations, there are three stages to the testing process: visual inspection, verification and final test.
The visual inspection detects obvious problems such as checking for kinks and knots, and making sure the correct separations are kept from electrical wiring and other communications cabling, as interference is unfavorable with electronic systems.
Either during or after visual inspection, the installer should use a verification test tool to ensure the cables are connected correctly. Verification test tools are often the first line of defense for cable troubleshooting. These tools allow technicians to see if the cable is properly connected.
They perform basic continuity functions such as wiremap and toning and sometimes include additional features such as a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) for determining length to the end of a cable or to a trouble spot. They may also detect if a switch is connected to the cable under test or check coaxial connections.
Verification testing confirms that a cable meets established national or international standards of conductor configuration and passes basic continuity testing. Verification may be performed on two-conductor or multi-conductor twisted-air cabling.
If the wiring is faulty, an advanced verification tool’s wiremap will identify the problem and the faulty pair. Fluke Networks’ MicroScanner Pro’s TDR length function measure the full length of a cable, it pinpoints reversed or crossed pairs and also identifies split pairs. The tool displays individual pair lengths and whether the cable is connected to a hub.
The length measurement is also useful for billing and inventory purposes. If a fault is detected, time is often wasted with visual inspection. An advanced verification tool’s toner function allows continuity verification and to trace a cable through walls, floors and ceiling.
The final step in testing a residential installation is to check the actual performance of the cable. Qualification is a test of the cable to make sure it can handle the type of network traffic that’s expected of it.
The TIA-570-B residential installation standard says: “Cable qualification tests the cabling to determine that certain network technologies (e.g., 100BASE-TX, Firewire) will perform on the cabling system.”
Advanced qualification tools that identify the network speed which the existing cabling can support, are much more powerful than verification tools.
They are designed to allow minimally trained operators to determine if existing cabling ‘works’, and if not, why not.
Qualification testers also help the cabling contractor protect his work. A qualification tool not only tests the performance of a cable, but records the results.
This allows the contractor to document the results, and can be invaluable if the cable is later damaged by another contactor. Documenting the condition of the installation can save a lot of shouting later on.
It must be noted that qualification testers in no way compete with or replace cable certification tools. A certification tool is far more expensive and runs a far more stringent battery of performance tests. Certification is often required to obtain a warranty from the cable manufacturer in commercial installations. For residential work, a qualification test is more appropriate.
By using the right combination of installation tools and test tools, an installer can perform his job faster, with greater accuracy and less rework, all backed by documentation that the job was performed to recognized standards. It makes the business more efficient, and more profitable.

As you probably already know, BlackBerry PlayBook was on sale for a while now and you couldn’t have it for less than 299.99 $. If you bought it then, now you will regret it because Costco retailer is making us a very good deal providing the 16 GB version of the PlayBook for 274.99 $. The 32 GB model will cost 374.99 $ and the 64 GB one will be 474.99 $.
This tablet has a very good portability coming with the exact dimensions of 194 x 130 x 10 mm and a maximum weight of 400 grams. Next element on the specifications list is that 5 megapixels camera which is very good in the video department (1080p HD), but not that great when it comes to the pictures.
Inside that fancy design we find a BlackBerry OS which is in charge with the software department and is working side by side with that 1000 MHz dual core processor. That capacitive multi touch screen installed is not that big having a 7.00 inches diagonal, but it comes with a good resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels. Let’s not forget about other elements on the list like that Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity, HDMI, micro USB and Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR. | <urn:uuid:21d93324-8734-4ee9-8833-16272e629e5f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.blugga.com/2011/10/06/blackberry-playbook-low-price-at-costco/ | 2020-09-30T18:16:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.935153 | 263 |

Our vision of providing a fast and fun sailing experience to the public, while striving for excellent first class service, came to life in 1984. Chardonnay Sailing Charters was born with the purchase of our first vessel, Chardonnay I. She was a beautiful Santa Cruz ‘50 designed by the celebrated yacht designer, Bill Lee. Lee, known to many as The Wizard, is one of the founders of the Santa Cruz School of Boatbuilding and the designer of many famous racing yachts.
While growing up in the Santa Cruz Mountains and farming the family vineyards, our company owner developed a passion for growing and producing local Chardonnay wine. The owner’s love of this varietal thus influenced the company’s name, “Chardonnay” Sailing Charters.
As our company began to grow, Chardonnay I could no longer accommodate all of our enthusiastic customers. In 1991, with the creation of a new partnership, Chardonnay I was replaced by a larger Santa Cruz ‘70, Chardonnay II. Like her sister, Chardonnay II was custom built by the same designer, Bill Lee. Over the past 25 years, Chardonnay II has been a major icon in the Santa Cruz community for locals and tourists alike. Recently, in 2015, we have expanded our company further with the addition of a second Santa Cruz 70′, Chardonnay III. Chardonnay III’s sporty race design is perfect for our more adventurous customers!
The design of the Santa Cruz ’70 sailing yachts is very popular with sailboat racing enthusiasts. Although the hull and sail are designed for speed, the inboard amenities are many, unlike other racing yachts. There is plenty of safe and comfortable topside seating to view the sights and the wildlife of the Monterey Bay. Chardonnay Sailing Charters has been able to create a highly-touted experience that caters not only to families, locals and tourists but to seasoned sailors alike.
Our company is thrilled to be offering the public a genuinely unique experience viewing Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary from a different perspective.
We look forward to sailing with you aboard our fun, fast and exciting yachts while providing you with first class service and a memorable experience! | <urn:uuid:8e5d7506-95b0-4a53-bd0a-2fc334e9b28b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.chardonnay.com/about/ | 2020-09-30T19:29:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.94087 | 490 |
KELSO — Swimmers always have some time to kill before a meet starts.
At a meet the size of the Kelso Invitational, which features 16 teams and more than 100 swimmers, there’s plenty of waiting around in between heats also.
What better way to burn some of that time than drawing? The canvas of choice for many of the girls’ swim teams: each other.
On a shoulder, a leg, across the small of the back, pull out a permanent marker and get to work.
Several of Prairie’s girls had ornate flowers scrawled across their shoulder blades and arms. Other swimmers had inspirational messages; one Washougal swimmer had a dozen inscriptions written in the space on her back her swimsuit didn’t cover.
It’s a way to show personality. Volleyball players have their celebrations, softball players have their chants, swimmers have their art.
“It’s so cool to see what everyone else has,” Fort Vancouver senior McKenna Ellen said.
The best Ellen and her fellow Trappers have seen was a full rainbow-colored backpiece donned by a Hudson’s Bay swimmer last year.
The pieces can be extravagant or simple: fish are a common subject. The same messages pop up frequently, too.
“Just keep swimming,” a quote from the movie “Finding Nemo” is a meet staple.
“Eat my bubbles,” another Pixar flick quote, is one of Ellen’s favorites.
On Saturday, it was “Angry Angie” — for Kelso freshman Angie Eugenis — and “Eagle Born, Eagle Bred” on a Hudson’s Bay swimmer that stood out.
October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, there were also plenty of pink ribbons drawn on shoulders.
While Fort Vancouver sophomore Monique Romero didn’t have her ribbon drawn on for anyone in particular, it’s a way for her to show support to a cause.
“It makes me feel like I’m out here swimming for a purpose,” she said.
Not every drawing, though, has meaning.
“We were just bored,” Prairie freshman Claudia Newman said of the beautiful flowers drawn by teammate Madilee Roscoe.
After all, it only takes a Sharpie permanent marker, one already being used to transcribe heat and lane numbers onto arms and legs, to make a piece of art that will last through in the chlorine-filled, hot and humid confines of Gaither Pool.
“Sometimes, it will even last a few days,” Romero said.
Not bad for the time-killing favored hobby of swimmers. | <urn:uuid:9b9786a2-1806-463d-bb60-4cb14ac2a8c9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.columbian.com/news/2019/oct/12/prep-swimmers-designs-are-not-just-on-winning/ | 2020-09-30T19:38:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.958185 | 581 |
CPB Honors WUFT and Florida Public Radio Emergency Network with Community Lifeline Award
Collaboration of Thirteen Stations Based at University of Florida
Mar 19, 2019
(WASHINGTON, DC) March 19, 2019—The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) today presented the Community Lifeline Award to WUFT-TV/FM (WUFT) and the Florida Public Radio Emergency Network (FPREN) during a meeting of the CPB Board of Directors. The award recognizes public media stations providing outstanding service to their communities during local emergencies, natural disasters and other urgent situations.
“Public media’s services are especially important for communities affected by natural disasters and other emergencies. Under the leadership of WUFT, FPREN provided lifesaving information not only across Florida but also in North and South Carolina,” said CPB Board member Elizabeth Sembler. “The innovative approach demonstrated by these partner stations exemplifies both the spirit of public service and the powerful role of public media.”
FPREN is a collaboration of 13 public radio stations based at WUFT in Gainesville-Ocala, Florida, and delivers emergency broadcast and social media content across the state. Their free app, Florida Storms, provides geotargeted live forecasts, information about evacuation routes and shelters, and live streams local public radio broadcasts. FPREN served millions of people through multiple emergencies including Hurricanes Michael, Irma and Matthew.
“We’re honored by this recognition from CPB for what we feel is a core mission of public media. We appreciate the ongoing support of CPB, Pat Harrison and the Board for their encouragement of innovative concepts like FPREN and look forward to providing these public safety services to even more Americans in the future,” said Randy Wright, executive director of WUFT and FPREN.
WUFT operates as a part of the University of Florida and incorporates hundreds of students annually from the UF College of Journalism and Communications into immersive professional experiences. WUFT also launched the South Carolina Emergency Information Network with South Carolina ETV/South Carolina Public Radio in 2018, serving South Carolina and parts of North Carolina with emergency messaging.
Established in 2012, this is only the second time the Community Lifeline Award has been presented. The inaugural recipients were WNET and New York Public Radio (WNYC/NJPR).
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a private, nonprofit corporation created by Congress in 1967, is the steward of the federal government’s investment in public broadcasting. It helps support the operations of more than 1,500 locally owned and operated public television and radio stations nationwide. CPB is also the largest single source of funding for research, technology and program development for public radio, television and related online services.

A lot of the adverts that you see around the internet all seem to be based around the fact that you are able to get rich pretty quick, even overnight when trading, but is this actually the case? Can you actually get rich overnight, or is that just a fantasy?
The truth of the matter is that you can in fact get rich quick overnight, it certainly is possible, is it likely? That is another question and one that is a resounding no, so you can get rich, but you are far more likely to lose any money that you put in rather than making more. We will point out straight away, that while he adverts may say that you can get rich quick, you certainly won’t with them, those sorts of adverts are complete scams and should be avoided at all costs.
There are a few different strategies that you could use to get rich pretty quick, again we must point out that we are not recommending that you try these strategies, there is probably a 0.01% chance that you can sustain them for more than a day or two and so they are ultimately a sure-fire way to lose your money and to blow your account. So let’s take a little look at what these strategies are.
Double or Nothing
The name pretty much suggests what this one is, it is pretty much like flipping a coin, you will either double your money or you will blow your account. It is certainly not something that you should be doing unless you are pretty heavily drunk and are happy to throw away whatever money you have lying about. You will simply put on a trade with a much higher trade size than you should, place a take profit at the point where the balance would double, place, and sit back and see what happens. Some people put it to a 10 pip movement to blow, others a bit more, but people who do this are often looking for a quick turnaround, so it will normally only take a few pips up or down to either double or blow the account. I am sure that you can see why this is not a sustainable method, simply because at some point you will be wrong and that will be everything gone.
For those that wish to try this rather risky strategy, we would highly recommend that if you win the first trade, take out the initial money, at least this will protect the moment that you put in. We have actually seen people win 3 or 4 of these trades in a row, going from $10 to $160 in next to no time, of course, the next trade lost and so they lost it all. If you remove that initial deposit, at least you won’t have lost anything. We have also seen people lose the first trade 5 or 6 times in a row, will take a lot of luck to make that money back and if you get into that situation, it is probably better to just quit and walk away.
If you have been in the casino game or done any sort of gambling in the past then you would have probably heard of the Martingale strategy. The strategy was eaten and was popular in 18th century France. The strategy is based around doubling your bet or in this case trade size each time that you lose. So if you had a trade of 0.01 lots which lost, you would then do a trade of 0.02 lots, if those lose then you would do a trade of 0.04 lots, you would continue to do this until you had a trad that won, the winning trade would then win back all the original losses plus the profits that the original trade would have won. Seems like a good strategy, and in theory, it is. In theory, it could give you a 100% profit rate as you will eventually have a winning trade, won’t you? Yes, but how long will it take?
The problem with this strategy is that it could take an unlimited amount of money in order to make that trade. If you have a balance of $100 you will only have a certain number of trades available for you before you lose all your money, if you have a $1000 account, you only have two extra trades than you would have and $100. The more times you need to trade, the amount required will grow exponentially, so unless you have an unlimited amount of money, at one point or another, you will blow the account.
Another form of trading that looks to try and double your money, or at least trade it up as quickly as possible is something called rapid trading, this basically involves you making a lot of trades, and we mean a lot of trades in order to take lots of little profits. The problem with this trading strategy is that it is very easy to overwhelm yourself with the number of trades that you have. In a normal scenario, you may have one, two, or maybe three trades active at any one time, but with the rapid trading strategy you can quickly grow up to 100 open trades, on various pairs, or even on the same pair. The issue really becomes apparent when you do not have stop losses set properly on these trades, so you could ultimately have 100 small trades going against you at the same time, giving the same results as placing one very large trade, well above the size that you should be trading.
There are a number of different expert advisors that have been set up to work this way, they are often the ones claiming that they are able to double your money in a day, and they actually can, the problem is that they may double it one day, the next day they will completely lose everything. This is an extremely reckless strategy to be using and one that we would certainly not recommend. Having said that, it does look pretty incredible seeing 100 different grades all changing prices at the same time, it looks good but doesn’t work well.
This is probably the worst idea that you could probably have, yet it is something that a lot of people still do. One of the major sayings and pieces of advice that people are given is not to trade anything that you cannot afford to lose, this ensures that you are still able to pay your rent and buy some food, so what would make you think that it is a good idea to borrow some money in order to trade? We understand that having more money means that you can make more money, but what if you lose? There is a good chance that you will lose, if you do, then how are you going to be able to pay that money back.
Trading or gambling with borrowed money is a disaster waiting to happen, if the thought of doing this ever crosses your mind, try to think about what would happen if you lose, you will be paying that money back for years to come, a lot of years depending on the amount that you borrow. Don’t do it, just don’t. Only trade what you can afford to even if the prospect of making a lot more money is a good one.
So those are a few different strategies that really can live up to the promise of making you rich pretty quick, the problem is that the chance of them actually making you rich is very low due to the massive amounts of risk involved in them, in fact, we would just as likely suggest that you put all of your money on the lottery, you probably have just as much chance of winning that than you do for these strategies to succeed over any long period of time.
We would advise that you stick to tried and true strategies that have been tested and proven to work, trading is not a quick money-making scheme, it is a long term project that can really change your future if used properly. | <urn:uuid:11a90c04-3444-4fac-9412-0fc18df4b385> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.forex.academy/lets-discuss-get-rich-quick-trading-strategies/ | 2020-09-30T18:34:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.97887 | 1,561 |
Latin America is approaching half a million cases of infected and the worst is yet to come. All the elections planned for the second quarter were postponed to the second half of the year, including two presidential elections. We can also expect a dramatic drop in economy and increase of poverty, inequality and unemployment. Moreover, China is strengthening its position in the region, filling up the vacuum left by the Trump’s pullback, says Daniel Zovatto, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean at the International IDEA, Argentina.

Whether crisping up a bacon breakfast or searing your latest Month of Beef experiment, quality cookware separates the men from the boys, pans down. The West Elm Greenpan 14 Piece Cookware Set ($350), an eco-friendly arsenal with a natural non-stick coating, gives you professional-grade hardware at an affordable price.
Using Thermalon, a mineral-base ceramic, rather than chemical coating, the Greenpan set avoids PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene, or Teflon) high temperature off-gassing (the real stuff of Kitchen Nightmares), and produces an even distribution and heat conductivity rivaling pricier sets. This efficient cooking surface reduces carbon dioxide emissions by up to 60%, and to make Captain Planet even prouder, each handle and base is made of recycled stainless steel and anodized aluminum. The pans even season naturally over time and cook like a cast iron enameled favorite. The set includes eight- and twelve-inch frying pans, a ten-inch grill pan, a skillet, a steamer, a couple of sauce pans and even a Dutch oven so you can tackle any meal. Just remember, they prefer sponge baths to machine cleaning (who doesn’t), so your job isn’t finished after table service.

In the mid-seventies I saw an illustration in a magazine that featured outlines and two or three pure hues. I had been emulating Matisse for a while and that simple painting suggested my next step. I began painting large bold outlines in burnt umber darkened with black, then filling in the shapes with nearly pure hue. I was exploring.
There are many discussions of how to break up the color wheel to achieve balance in a painting so I don’t need to belabor that here, but there is one important difference between Ostwald’s color wheel and everyone else’s. Ostwald stretches out the green arc to the point that green is treated like a fourth primary. The four “fundamental” colors are red, blue, yellow and sea green. Blue and yellow are complementaries, as are red and sea green.
We all learn early in school that mixing blue and yellow gives green.
But when blue and yellow are spun together, the result is gray, and since no clarification appears in the Primer, I offer one here.
The pigment, or subtractive primaries are blue, red and yellow; or, more professionally, cyan, magenta and yellow. These behave as we were taught in school.
The light, or addition primaries are red, green and blue. A pigment mixture of all three subtractive primaries in the appropriate ratio is a very dark gray. A mixture of light beams of all three light primaries is white.
The upshot is that, since red and green add to make yellow, an additive mixture of blue and yellow is actually a mixture of red, green and blue, with the potential of producing a neutral gray. Perhaps because of reluctance to demote yellow as a primary, Ostwald combines both sets of primaries, and winds up with four.
It seems reasonable to consider an additive combination from Ostwald’s wheel for a painting’s color balance. A composition of red, blue and green might feel quite right, such as a red barn, green trees and blue sky. Of course that employs just the simplest triad. (See In Burnham Park above.)
I am suggesting practice with divisions of Ostwald’s wheel for an experimental possibility. The Color Primer is a pretty good guide for building your own circle.
The paintings I have presented in this post were, in fact, such experiments.
But first I am going to get even more technical about balance. | <urn:uuid:fb9e637a-b403-43ff-88fd-b2a61aefec5f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.georgerhysart.com/blog1/ostwalds-wheel | 2020-09-30T17:59:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.957396 | 506 |
The Best Ways to Manage Your Fleet Fuel ConsumptionSeptember 8, 2020
Running a fleet business can be profitable but requires one to put in much effort. When it comes to fleet companies, a lot of money tends to go toward fuel consumption. Fuel is one of the most valuable assets in the fleet business. Knowing the money that is going to be spent on fuel is essential in helping a company identify means to make and maintain a profit. Because of technology, some methods have proven to be effective in helping fleet companies with fuel management.
Utilizing Fuel Management Software
As stated before, advancement in technology has made a significant impact on the way fleet businesses are being managed. At the moment, many of them do most things through their mobile devices or computers. There are several software that aid fleet managers to work more efficiently. Calculating the total fuel cost, especially if your fleet has many cars, is quite challenging and may take a lot of time. It is high time you consider using fleet fuel management software. Through this type of software, you can know the individual and total cost of the fuel consumed automatically. The fact that the software has no errors means that you can effectively manage fuel consumption in your business. Companies like Eyeride io are providing fleet management solutions that aid in fuel management.
Using Fuel Cards
Using fuel cards and incorporating them with fuel management software is another effective way of managing fleets. Many fleet companies are currently using fuel cards as they can instantly get information about the amount of fuel used and the cost. Incorporating these cards with fuel management software will be crucial in helping a business know what they are spending on fuel. Companies can create an effective way to reduce their total costs on fuel consumption by using data from fuel cards.
There are several monitoring systems you can use in your fleet business. Though many drivers are against the idea of being monitored, it has benefits to both the driver and business. Some of the monitoring technology used include video surveillance and using GPS technology. Driving habits tend to determine the amount of fuel used. Through monitoring of the drivers in your fleet, behaviors like aggressive driving and idling, which increase fuel consumption, will be reduced.
The route that a vehicle is driven in is most likely to determine the amount of fuel used. When it comes to fleet management, you need to find the best routes for different destinations. Through utilizing GPS technology, as a manager, you will know routes that may be shorter, thus saving money spent on fuel. You can also inform your drivers on the roads that have less traffic or the best time to avoid rush hours. When there is heavy traffic, drivers are forced to idle and stop a lot, which is not ideal for fuel-efficiency.
For your fleet business to save on fuel, you need to utilize the latest technology available. Using fleet management software and monitoring systems will be essential in making more profit, thus helping the business grow. | <urn:uuid:26629785-dcc3-4db4-b131-30e813a908c3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.hydrogenfuelnews.com/the-best-ways-to-manage-your-fleet-fuel-consumption/8540505/ | 2020-09-30T19:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.962369 | 589 |
CDC lab transfer gone wrong — quarantine activated
By Shepard Ambellas
ATLANTA (INTELLIHUB.COM) — Protocol was breached in a high-security Center for Disease Control (CDC) lab Monday, when a lab worker accidentally transferred a human blood sample containing the deadly Ebola virus to another lab in the same CDC complex.
An agency spokesperson said that as many as twelve others, lab workers, scientists, may have been inadvertently infected and will now be forced to undergo a 21-day quarantine.
So far the CDC maintains that no one in the general public is at risk, although a full investigation into the incident is underway.
Shockingly this is not the CDC’s first transfer mistake, as it was reported back in June that Anthrax may have been released in a CDC lab room, potentially exposing as many as 75 people to the deadly bioweapon.
The CDC’s director Tom Frieden said in a statement that his “troubled” by the transfer gone bad.
The lab where the human error took place was reported to have been decontaminated.

Did you know that today, the 20th of March, in the International Day of Happiness?
Until a couple of days ago I had no idea such a day existed and when a friend of mine mentioned it to me, my cynical mind thought it was a commercial initiative by a well-known international corporation who made ‘happiness’ their tagline.
The International Day of Happiness is, however, not a commercial initiative but rather a day instituted by the UN: in 2011 they adopted a resolution recognising ‘happiness as a fundamental human goal’ and stated that progress should be evaluated on the basis of happiness and wellbeing of individuals and not exclusively on economic indicators. The 20th of March was chosen as the day to recognise such a change.
Happiness and what is truly valuable in life is something we discuss often, with the kids. We live in an over commercialised society and the children (like so many adults) easily fall into believing that if we had ‘more’, we would be happier.
Are we unhappy? No, but the brain works as a differential system and only really notices happiness if it compares it with unhappiness: this means that we often feel as if life has short changed us, until what we have gets taken aways and, as trite as it sounds, we realise we had always taken for granted what we had and now long for.
To counterbalance this, as a family we use our travels and time together to mark that experiences and love, not things, are what makes us fulfilled and we also use books to stimulate discussion and reflections on this point.

A Dr Seuss classic, with all that we love about the author: it’s a funny, witty, intelligent and thought-provoking book. The Sneetches are creatures who live in a large community on a beach: they all look similar to each other, but some are born with a star on their belly and some aren’t. But is the star a reason to boast? Or is the mayhem ensuing from trying to be something else proof that the distinction between the haves and have-nots is not so clear cut? I loved this book as a child and love it now as an adult: my kids just discovered it and loved it too, so one generation down, it’s still going strong!
A cute, intelligent book by the same authors of the maybe better known Gruffalo. A woman complains her house is too small and asks a wise man for help: he tells her to bring in a cow, a hen, a goat, and a pig. The woman still feels the house is too small and the wise man suggests to let them out one by one: how does the very same house now?
The kids love the mayhem created by the animals in the house but the message is strong and sticks: it’s also a good book to read when visiting friends with more spacious houses than ours!
If things are not working out at home, you can follow Max’s example and sail away to the land where the wild things are and become their King. But are you sure being terrible and respected for it equals happiness? Could it be you might find yourself longing to go home instead?
This book is over 50 years old and the kids love it. It’s also interesting to see how many modern children classics have gotten inspiration from its writing rhythm.
We got originally drawn to this book by its beautiful illustrations, but the plot and the message captured our children too. It’s a story of discovery and adventure, but mostly about a long way home and what makes home (however you want to define it) special.
A really cute book that is sure to resonate with children as full of familiar characters: what happens if you open your pencil case one day and your crayons are on strike? What are they unhappy about and how can you change this?
I love this book because of its wit but I also love its message: sometimes you are unhappy for a reason and, in that case, you should voice it. If you express it out loud, maybe something can be done about it and you might even get a golden star (symbolic if not real!)

A Harmful Dichotomy: The Negative Ways Society’s Traditional Male Gender Roles Come to
Light Contrasted with
Lord of the Flies
Since the beginning of time humans have been beings favoring civilization. Rules. Order.
Restrictions on innate human tendencies keep people in order, which is considerably more manageable than seven billion anthropomorphized Ids1 running amok across the planet. But when do our society’s restraints harm it’s members? According to a recent study done by Dr.
Maria do Mar Pereira of Warnick University of adolescents in Lisbon, gender roles can cause students to act in ways in line with their ideal of their assigned gender that actually harm their health (1). One place we can see their ugly heads be reared is in the novel
Lord of the Flies written by William Goulding. Goulding’s analysis of the psychosis of the young boys shows the harmful effects of society’s traditional construct of masculinity through the boy’s violence towards each other in primal situations and their assumption of traditional leadership roles through shows of power.
So often in our culture boys are told they need to be aggressive, strong, brute beings with little to none outward emotional expression. The phrase “boys don’t cry” is heavily ingrained into young children's’ minds early on. So where do all these repressed emotions go? They’re repressed and repressed until they come out in negative channelings of unresolved conflicts
“According to Sigmund Freud
... the id is the personality component made up of unconscious psychic energy that works to satisfy basic urges, needs, and desires.” About.com Pyschology
(Kindlon 218). This is why many boys in today’s society are at a higher risk for drug and alcohol abuse and struggle with so many issues of internalized conflicts which can lead to depression or even suicide (Kindlon 142176). Piggy has multiple instances of internal anxiety and repression of his emotions due to the other, more assertive boys in the group reading his weakness as something to be easily picked upon.
The argument can also be made that from the boys witnessing violent acts such as the surrounding war going on and the unsettling news that a young child most likely was caught in the overactive fire that raged out of control their first night after neglecting to monitor the flames. The boy with the mulberry birthmark had wandered into the forest while left unattended.
The boys try to rationalize this as a mistake as they are struck with awe, “Startled, Ralph realized that the boys were falling still and silent, feeling the beginnings of awe at the power set free below them. The knowledge and awe made him savage,”
(Golding 44). The fire motif throughout the novel is frequently neglected and allowed to burn free which can be taken as a metaphor for the young boys’ behavior. The flame started off reasonably controlled, but when the boys, specifically the hunters, focus on playing more than maintaining the fire, the whole forest is engulfed, lives are lost, and they miss a passing ship when their signal fire is not burning. Witnessing these traumatic events parallels to what exposure to violent and graphic video games can do to a young child’s mind. Ninety percent of children play videogames and approximately ninety percent of those video games contain some sort of violent or graphic content (Park 1).
A study in Singapore of 3,034 boys and girls in third, fourth, seventh, and eighth grade by Craig Anderson of Iowa State University found that those who played more violent video games were more likely to engage in violent activities such as striking another
classmate who had said something disagreeable with them. Violent video games have also been shown through brain scans to alter regions of the brain connected to impulse control, emotion, and attention that, if | <urn:uuid:9c3f8e01-bfc3-466e-803e-8f7945bda8a2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.majortests.com/essay/Lotf-Gender-593359.html | 2020-09-30T19:50:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.956347 | 807 |

Myelomeningocele: Symptoms and Treatment
Myelomeningocele is a type of birth defect in which the spinal canal and the backbone do not close before the baby is born, also known as spina bifida.
It is estimated that 90% of people with this condition live to adulthood.(1)
- Medical diagnosis required
- Laboratory tests or imaging are required
- No cure available, however, treatment can help manage symptoms
- Chronic: May last for a lifetime
The spinal cord and the meninges may protrude through the child’s back. There are three most common forms of spina bifida; they are spina bifida occulta, meningocele, and myelomeningocele.
- Exposed spinal cord
- Orthopedic deformities
- Fluid buildup in the skull that leads to swelling
- Structural defects in the brain, which affects overall functioning
- Problems in leg, bladder, and bowel function
- Partial or complete paralysis of legs
Mothers should take a folic acid supplement before she becomes pregnant which is important in the development of red blood cells and is important for good health in general.
There is no cure for myelomeningocele. The treatment usually focuses of relieving the symptoms. The following methods can be used:
- Surgical interventions along with antibiotics can help in protection from infections like meningitis.
- A shunt maybe inserted that drains extra liquid around the brain and reduces pressure.
- The child may need to wear braces that support the legs or main part of the body.
- A catheter may help in dealing with bladder control.
Myelomeningocele is a chronic disorder that requires regular interventions throughout life. Effective medication and therapeutic techniques can help manage the symptoms and improve longevity.

So what happens if you need to do a 60-seconder video? Well, keep it engaging and worth watching. What you want to say should show in your thumbnail. So what makes a good one? Here are some examples:
- An image that mirrors the content.

Placing your logo in the video. That way, if you are most likely to be changing it now and then can create the consistency. Thumbnails can have 15% your click-through rate or CTR. So, work on it.
Production Shows Best in Quality. It just have to be the best of the best! Good script and good equipment.

Basically, you need a camera that is steady, a good microphone, box lights, and a high quality editing software.

After all, a video will end up on Google’s page compared to a blog post. Its potent result became such that SEO is growing along with it. But do not overlook the following tips:

SELL YOUR LAPTOP FOR CASH HERE
The twenty-first century is truly the age of new technologies. Every day we hear about some new devices that were invented to make our life easier and more comfortable. The advertisements in the streets call us to buy new laptops and we do it.
Why Do We Buy New Laptops?
Have you ever asked yourself about the reasons that usually drive us to buy new laptops, smartphones and etc.? Firstly, new devices are twice better than the previous ones. They contain plenty of new options, work at a high speed and are able to store terabytes of information. Moreover, a new up-to-date laptop is an essential part of the image a successful financially secure person. And, of course, a new gear can be a nice present for the person whom we really care about.
Problems Caused By New Laptops
Do new electronic items bring any problems to their owners? Yes, they, certainly, do. In order to look cool and modern we may buy, for instance, a new laptop. Of course, the possession of a new appliance with improved options will make us happier. We will be glad to have a new laptop on our desk and are looking forward to turn it on and start working on it.
But, on the other hand, buying a new laptop means that we won't use the laptop we owned before anymore. So we have to choose what to do with it further.
Old devices can be treated in different ways. The most common and simple one is to store it somewhere at home. You can put your unused laptop into a box and place it in the basement, cabinet or even under your bed. It's also possible to recycle it in a proper way or donate it to the library.
Do with your laptop whatever you want, but don't leave it without an appropriate recycling. If you just throw it away, it will poison the soil and bring a great harm to the environment.
Trash Brings Cash
Your old laptop can still be useful and bring you some benefit. Have you thought about selling it? Yes, exactly selling. But who would buy this old stuff?
New technologies change our lives for better, but they are very expensive. In order to get up-to-date laptops, one must spend a certain amount of money on them. But sometimes buying new laptop or iPhone isn't necessary.
The people who can't afford or aren't interested in the latest electronic novelties may show a certain interest in your laptop and buy it. In addition to this, nearly all big manufacturers of electronic devices propose their clients an opportunity to trade back their old items.
Some Useful Tips on Selling Your Laptop
Once you have decided to sell or trade back your laptop, you have to think about several things. For the first, it's necessary to back up the data you stored in your appliance. And of course, don't forget to wipe it after having made the copy.

As you can see, there are lots of variants of selling your old laptops. In order to choose the best one you can type a phrase "Sell my Laptop" in your search system and choose the best variant.
All in all, you can trade your gear directly through the Internet auction like Amazon or eBay or sell it back to the company that has produced it. There is one more variant to sell your laptop profitably to one of buyback companies. They usually propose their clients the best service. You have just to fill in the quote, receive a shipping box and be ready to get your cash.

SI.com Daily Cover: An Ode (and Wave Goodbye) to Sports Handshake
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Did you know today is National Handshake Day? That's right. On the final Thursday of every June, people across the nation observe National Handshake Day.
Well, probably not this year. And maybe never again.
A handshake is an introduction. In sports, it’s also a congratulatory good-bye, whether it’s the traditional postgame handshake by football coaches or the time-honored tradition of two players in tennis walking to the net following a match.
In the mid-2010s, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb celebrated touchdowns with understated shakes of the hand. There was nothing understated about Brett Favre putting it in the old vice.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr. Anthony Fauci suggested we wave good-bye – forever – to the handshake.
“I don’t think we should ever shake hands ever again,” Fauci said in April, because abandoning the ancient practice would not only curb the spread of the coronavirus, but it would dramatically decrease flu cases in America. “Just forget about shaking hands. We don’t need to shake hands, we’ve got to break that custom.”
With coronavirus maintaining its grip on most of the world, Steve Rushin wrote an ode to the handshake for Thursday’s SI.com Daily Cover.
Former Marquette basketball coach Al McGuire called these increasingly elaborate greetings “Knights of Columbus handshakes,” as if they were the secret greetings of a fraternal order, a signifier of solidarity—which they often are.
Paul Molitor, for one, developed a secret handshake with his Brewers teammate Rob Deer, and he credited it in part for his 39-game hitting streak in 1987. At the beginning of that run, during a game in Chicago, the two hitters failed to shake hands, and Molitor started the outing 0-for-4. But they shook before his fifth at bat, Molitor got a hit, and off he was! (This can work in reverse, too. Tigers slugger Hank Greenberg shook hands with heavyweight champion Joe Louis in New York in 1939, and immediately he went into a slump.)

Parenting during a pandemic
As weeks turn into months of stay-home orders, families are feeling more than a little bit of strain with all of the changes and restrictions in place. In many ways, this is to be expected just because of the severity of changes that have occurred all at once. For those who are isolated with children, stress levels may be higher as parents navigate new online school requirements while trying to maintain employment and keep the household running as smoothly as possible. Parents are thrown into roles they were neither prepared for nor given additional time to manage: who could possibly handle suddenly being teacher, playmate, and employee while simultaneously having the hands-on parenting hours dramatically increased too? This isn’t to say that people don’t love or enjoy their kids – it's just that this is a lot to expect families to endure with minimal support.
Parents are navigating their own stress responses while also having to support their children by addressing their needs and difficulties adjusting as well. Remote learning has proved problematic for many families as there are so many different learning styles and educational interests of individual children juxtaposed with the rigid environment of an online classroom. And let’s face it – parenting and teaching require very different skills and it is pretty challenging to expect someone to be able to do both simultaneously (and often while juggling multiple other tasks!) This alone has caused a great deal of increased stress for families.
More and more, I’m seeing frazzled parents feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up with everything, which in turn causes them to have feelings of frustration or thoughts of “not being good enough”. This can at times create a cascade of other issues – feeling irritable, being short-tempered, yelling, crying, or engaging in unhelpful coping strategies such as increased alcohol consumption or ignoring their own self care. And all of these things drive disconnection…which just makes the feelings of frustration and sense of overwhelm increase.
So, what can be done to deal with this? You already know what I’m going to say….First, BREATHE. Those slow deep breaths we talked about earlier can help to calm your nervous system and help you to think more clearly. Then, make sure you’re setting realistic expectations for yourself and others in the home. This is a really hard time for everyone and it’s unlikely that pre-pandemic levels of productivity can be maintained due to all of the stressors and changes. And if the adults are struggling to cope, that means that children are definitely struggling too. Remember that they are still learning how to control their emotions, and they are looking to you for guidance on how to handle everything. When all of this is over, they will remember how they felt during this time more than whether they got an A on a math test or if the house was perfectly cleaned.
Connection and attachment matter, and these aspects of relationships are closely related to resiliency and grit – the ability to get through difficult times. Ask yourself regularly if your interactions are creating connection or disconnection. If you lose your cool, remember that you’re only human and take a few moments to walk away and lower your stress levels. But be sure to come back and apologize to your child as well and model appropriate ways to handle the situation next time. Why does this matter? It’s important that children are able to see adults make mistakes and learn how to address them appropriately. It’s alright for children to see their parents feeling overwhelmed; in fact, it shows them that life can be overwhelming sometimes….and it’s okay. Often we want to pretend as adults that we have everything together and nothing is ever wrong, but that isn’t very realistic and doesn’t show children how to cope with adversity. Spend some time each day helping them to identify and label emotions, how to communicate feelings, and how to process what happened if they (or you!) become overwhelmed. Being able to do these things is part of what is called “emotional intelligence”, a set of skills which can improve empathy, awareness, and interpersonal relationships.
If you need help with how to do this, I find feelings faces to be very valuable tools as it can be beneficial to visualize the face that most closely matches the feeling. And having words for emotions helps to improve communication and reduce frustration. This is appropriate for a wide range of ages and cognitive levels also.
Parenting during a pandemic can feel extra frustrating, especially if it seems as if the same problems are occurring regularly and your efforts are under appreciated or not creating positive change. How we approach situations affects the way we feel about them though, so let me give you an analogy that I find is often very helpful with parenting and managing stress. It’s called the “Gardening Analogy” and it goes like this:
Think of a gardener who is busy planting seeds in the garden to grow. S/he places them diligently in just the right places, with the right amount of soil, at the right time, and has everything just perfect. But s/he doesn't have control over many factors....if the sun shines, how much it rains, the temperature, whether animals or pests come nibble, etc. S/he can't even control which ones will grow, only that s/he did the best to give the seeds the best conditions to do so. Parenting is just like that. All you can do is plant seeds. You have no control over the external factors or the outcomes, and you have to find a way to be okay with that because one day, maybe when you least expecting it, those seeds may grow. You may feel frustrated but perhaps the seeds you planted when helping your child now will sprout later – when they are faced with a difficult situation with peers, when they have to figure out a challenge alone, when they have their own children, etc. Ask yourself every day if you planted seeds, and trust that they will grow as and when they are meant to. Trust that the effort you are putting in today to plant seeds of wisdom, compassion, self-sufficiency, resilience, and all the other wonderful things you are demonstrating for your children will be fruitful in the future. Then let go of everything else.
There is a great resource from Better Kids as well – a calendar created specifically to help with daily connection and building a sense of attachment and empathy. If doing something everyday feels overwhelming, try doing something once a week if that is easier. Remember the goal is to build connection, not create more tasks or cause more stress. Check it out here.
Be mindful to be gentle with yourself during this time, and to set aside a few minutes each day to do something that you enjoy to recharge. If you feel that you are unable to manage feelings of anger, use of substances, or other issues be sure to reach out for help - there is a list of helplines in the "Resources" tab.
Dear frustrated parent, be patient with yourself as you navigate this challenging time. You are likely doing a much better job than you realize. We'll talk more about emotional recognition and the importance of emotional intelligence next week too! | <urn:uuid:f2d561d9-f70d-4584-a1df-abdca7fd34a0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.simplewellnesswednesdays.com/post/parenting-during-a-pandemic | 2020-09-30T17:44:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.972427 | 1,478 |
Hospice Care for All
Some 30,000 people die each year in Ireland. While the vast majority of people want to die at home, two-thirds die in hospitals of one sort of another and 40% die in acute hospitals. The Irish Hospice Foundation has undertaken a hugely important project to introduce Hospice Principles into Hospital Practice. Fr. Brian Nolan, a hospital chaplain of 20 years experience, is the new Regional Development Co-Ordinator for the North East and he told Eileen Good about the aims of the new programme. | <urn:uuid:93450daa-5fe6-4da8-af4b-cf14cdef8bf5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.soulwavesradio.ie/2007/05/16/hospice-care-for-all/ | 2020-09-30T18:15:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.901469 | 110 |
Rays vs Blue Jays: Toronto Back on Track Against Tampa Bay
If familiarity breeds contempt, there should be no love lost on Tuesday when the Tampa Bay Rays and the Toronto Blue Jays meet at Rogers Centre. The Toronto Blue Jays (79-64, –5.68 betting units) have lost each of their last three series, but they’re off to a strong start against the Tampa Bay Rays (60-83, –28.23 units). Toronto won Monday’s opener 3-2 as –173 home favourites; the finale takes place Wednesday afternoon, starting at 12:37 PM ET on Sportsnet.
Rays vs Blue Jays: A Look at the Rays:
Tampa Bay is in last place in the AL East and are out of the playoff race. Alex Cobb (4.32 FIP) is making his 3rd start for Tampa Bay – he has missed most of the last two seasons to Tommy John surgery. Cobb’s 2016 debut was an 8-3 victory over Marcus Stroman and the Jays (–158 away). Cobb, a fourth-year right hander, gave up two earned runs on four hits in five innings pitched. First baseman Logan Morrison (.733 OPS) had a home run for Tampa, but he’s on the DL with a strained wrist.
Rays vs Blue Jays: A Look at the Blue Jays:
The Blue Jays currently stand 2 games behind the Red Sox for the AL East lead, and are atop the AL wild-card standing. They are hoping to get better results from Marco Estrada (4.28 FIP). He got roughed up in four of his last five starts, dropping Toronto to 13-12 on the season and 3.87 units in debt with Estrada on the mound. Meanwhile, third baseman Josh Donaldson (.952 OPS) is expected to return after taking Monday off to rest. The reigning American League MVP has just three hits in 31 at-bats this month.
