As we celebrate Mental Health Awareness Month this May, there is little doubt that the coronavirus is impacting the mental health of everyone. From the common anxiety of contracting the disease, to the feelings of loneliness and isolation caused by quarantine and social distancing practices, no one is exempt from the stress and uncertainty that the COVID-19 crisis has brought.
But for individuals who already suffer from trauma, depression, anxiety and other mental health conditions, this pandemic has the potential to worsen and/or trigger symptoms, which when left untreated, can result in suicide.
This cautionary notion is supported in the article, "Suicide Mortality and Coronavirus Disease 2019 — A Perfect Storm?" where the experts demonstrate that secondary consequences of social distancing may increase the risk of suicide. When an individual is already struggling with their mental health, and then you add to the mix: economic stress, 24/7 news coverage, fears of the future, social isolation, and decreased community and religious supports, you have the perfect storm for increased suicide rates.
In the best interest of public health, the authors conclude that COVID-19 prevention efforts should continue. However, to negate some of the negative secondary outcomes of social distancing, they recommend a comprehensive approach that includes multiple mental health priorities, including increased access to mental health care and telehealth counseling services.
Fortunately for the Wayne County community, access to both is just a quick click or phone call away. If you, a friend or loved one is struggling right now, we would encourage you to setup a telehealth counseling appointment by going to thevillagenetwork.org/telehealth-services or calling 1-855-522-4886 today.
Throughout the coronavirus epidemic, The Village Network has remained steadfast in our commitment to caring for the emotional needs of the youth and families we serve, while also following the careful guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), local and state health departments.
From offering our counseling services via a telehealth platform, to reaching out to the staff and parents of the 90 schools throughout Ohio where we provide services to offer our assistance during the school closures, we’re doing everything we can to help meet the mental health needs of the youth, families and communities we serve.
During this time, we also would like to recognize The Village Network staff. We’ve heard so many great examples of our amazing team working together to care for the community during this crisis. It’s that dedication that has allowed us to expand telehealth counseling services to children and adults that need additional emotional support right now.
We truly believe that we’ll get through this together, our communities will be stronger, and brighter days are ahead.
In the meantime, please take care of yourselves and look out for those around you.
— Richard Graziano is the president and CEO of The Village Network, and Kevin Trent is the board chairman of The Village Network. | <urn:uuid:6f0824a9-c29b-444c-ac67-02cb7c975d46> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.the-daily-record.com/opinion/20200501/guest-column-take-care-of-your-mental-health-during-coronavirus-crisis | 2020-09-30T19:28:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.946351 | 605 |

The Miami International Boat Show is releasing more details to upgrades planned for 2017, including a new yacht and “VIP experience,” an expanded in-water section, and beefed up transportation.
The show will feature more than 100 new yachts and attendees seeking VIP treatment will access live music, concierge services, VIP parking, and an on-water VIP lounge aboard the 111-foot Biscayne Lady.
Show owners National Marine Manufacturers Association anticipate more than 1,300 new boats on display with more new model debuts than last year.
The number of boats in the water is expanding 35 percent to an estimated 550 boats and yachts.
The Miami Boat Show is partnering with the Miami Open Tournament caterer, Great Performances, to feature a variety of new dining options.
Great Performances is expanding its relationships with Miami favorites such as The Knife Steakhouse, Latin Café, Puntino Pizza and Sushi Maki to establish on-site eateries, in addition to operating its own proprietary concepts. Exhibitor catering options will be enhanced this year with details coming soon.
Strictly Sail Miami, docking again at Miamarina at Bayside, will feature approximately 130 sailboats, a large selection of sailing and power catamarans, dozens of daily seminars, and the newest sailing gear.
Visitors to the Miami Boat Show can access Strictly Sail Miami by free water taxis or shuttle buses, running until 7 p.m. daily.
An estimated 80 percent of attendees parked at designated offsite locations and traveled to the show via shuttle bus or water taxi.
Due to demand and the popularity of the show’s park-and-ride options, factoring in learnings from the first year at Miami Marine Stadium, the show has improved its transportation plan.
The number of water taxis will increase by more than 47 percent in 2017. In addition, the capacity of water taxis will increase, holding from 50 to 350 people, larger than most of the water taxis used during the 2016 show.
Water taxi pick-up and drop-off locations will be streamlined from seven to four — American Airlines Arena, the Hyatt in downtown Miami, the W Hotel (formerly Viceroy) in downtown Miami on Brickell, and Bayfront Park (Strictly Sail location) — to meet the high demand for water transportation. More and larger water taxis concentrated on fewer routes will provide frequent service to and from the Show.
Dozens of shuttle buses will circulate at all times from fewer locations than in 2016. There are four departure locations throughout downtown Miami — Marlins Park, American Airlines Arena, the Hyatt in downtown Miami, and Bayfront Park (Strictly Sail location).
An expanded shuttle service will also run between the Miami Boat Show and the Yachts Miami Beach show on Collins Avenue. Yachts Miami Beach runs concurrently with the Miami International Boat Show but they are separately owned and operated.
There will be new mini buses transporting show goers to and from parking on Virginia Key that will now operate with a direct route to and from the show’s front entrance rather than looping around the entire Rickenbacker Causeway.
An estimated 10,000 parking spaces will again be available for show attendees in downtown Miami with access to water taxis and shuttle buses. Downtown lots include Marlins Park and American Airlines Arena. Guests can reserve parking ahead of time at MiamiBoatShow.com.
Parking on Virginia Key will again be available and can be reserved and prepaid in advance at MiamiBoatShow.com. Parking on Virginia Key will be designated in four key lots with general parking, exhibitor parking, new VIP and handicapped parking at the Miami Seaquarium, and valet parking near Whiskey Joe’s.
The Miami Boat Show provides a selection of hotels through OnPeak — whether it’s luxury, resort-style, or urban retreat, exhibitors are encouraged to book their hotel now at MiamiBoatShow.com. | <urn:uuid:51b7b57f-9b04-4dbc-85a5-c1c7e23bef88> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tradeonlytoday.com/boat-shows/miami-show-details-added-features-for-2017 | 2020-09-30T19:50:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402127397.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930172714-20200930202714-00798.warc.gz | en | 0.922839 | 827 |

<Placeholder: 23.11.2019, rev 0.1>
<Placeholder: revision log
0.1: add initial DDMA capable chipsets list>
Disclaimer: This post depends on your comments, suggestions, etc to reach maturity. I don't claim i know everything - on the contrary. However, I will try to regularly update it based on new information and suggestions, until it reaches total reliability of the provided information.
In very short "It's all about the Benjamins, baby!"... Um, uh, no, in this case "It's all about the i8237 DMAC, baby!"
OK, after my (probably failed) attempt for satire, including in the thread title, let's get serious...
The aim of this post is to explain "Distributed DMA" and PC-PCI in simple way that everyone can understand (omitting most of the in-depth technical details). Those are hardware mechanisms for providing DMA (and IRQ) for PCI in ISA compatible way. Other not industry standard mechanisms like vendor specific solutions (some of them software emulations and not even hardware in nature), might be mentioned, but are not subject to this post.
The ISA bus uses Intel i8237 DMAC (DMA Controller) or compatible that is not present on the PCI bus.
Note: from here one, i8237-style or i8237-compatible DMA controller will be used interchangeably.
3. PC-PCI explained
3.1. if the PCI bus and the i8237-style controller are separated from each other, what is the easiest and simple way to connect them? The answer is - wires, of course. That's why IMHO much better name that is used for it is "SideBand Link" (because it provides wired connection for SideBand signals to the PCI bus), even I guess as more marketing appealing, SBLink was more advertised as "SoundBlaster Link".
Anyway, PC-PCI/SBLink/SideBand are different terms used the for same thing - just use wires (5 wires to be precise) to connect the PCI bus to i8237-style controller. that's more or less all to it and you can stop here if you just want to have some good and simple explanation about it.
3.2. However, there is something more to it, actually SBLink (read it as SideBand or SoundBlaster Link depending on your taste) is (PC-PCI DMA + Serialized IRQ). that corresponds exactly to the 5 pins on the header:
* 2 of the pins are Ground (we can ignore them for the purpose of this discussion)
* the other 2 are "PCI-PC DMA Request" and "PCI-PC DMA Acknowledge" (i.e. i8237 part of the picture)
* the other one is "Serialized Interrupt Request", which is just fancy way to say that ISA IRQs are not separate wires, but encoded to be carried out on a single wire
Why I am mentioning Serialized IRQ (SIRQ), which probably makes the explanation more blurry and technical, will become clear when we discuss in-depth DDMA.
4. Distributed DMA (DDMA) explained
4.1. If you don't want to use wires to connect your laptop to Internet what you do? you use wireless router to Broadcast or "to distribute" the signal to your laptop and in fact that makes other computer(s) in the vicinity to be able to receive the signal too. In most simple way that is how you can think about DDMA - basically it allows i8237-style controller on the motherboard to "wirelessly" connect to the PCI bus.
Actually, even better and probably for many of you well familiar way to think about DDMA is how in modern times we do "GPU passthrough" in Linux to passthrough the PCIe slot in which we installed GPU card to Virtual Machine running Windows and be able to use that GPU for games as it's physically installed to physical Windows machine. So, DDMA is what can be described as "i8237 passthrough" and our Windows VM in the case is our PCI bus.
4.2. What about the IRQs? As we saw in 3.2. actually we have 2 connections:
* i8237-style DMA controller to PCI Bus connection
* IRQ connection (in case of SBLink, SIRQ wire)
5. Chipset support
* Notable exception: 440LX, because Intel DDMA support depends on the North Bridge, not just on the South. that is documented in Intel datasheets and what makes it different than others, where DDMA is entirely function of the South Bridge.
* Unclear: cost-reduced versions of 440BX like 440ZX
* Tested by: both 430TX and 440BX are personally tested by me
* VT82C586B (VT82C586 has no DDMA support, VT82C586A is unclear - if anyone has it and is willing to test, let me know)
* VT82C686A/B (but DDMA of VT82C686A is more like VT82C596)
* Note: VT8231/VT8233/VT8235/VT8237 and VT8251 DO NOT have DDMA support, no matter of rumors spreading, everyone claiming the contrary is welcomed to share independently reproducible technical proof.
* Tested by: all of the above mentioned VIA chipsets are personally tested by me, except VT82C586A - i am in search of a tester and VT8233 - I don't have, but it's pointless, because in VT8231 DDMA support is already removed.
* Almost all PCI chipsets SiS released have DDMA with the exceptions below. First SiS South Bridge with DDMA support is SiS5582 and the last one with DDMA support is SiS963 (including all "L" revisions of those chipsets like for example SiS963L, which just indicates build-in "L"AN, i.e. Ethernet support).
* Note: SiS PCI South Bridges WIHOUT DDMA support are SiS551x, SiS5571, SiS964 and later (e.g. SiS965, SiS966, SiS968)
* Tested by: I have personally tested SiS964, SiS965, SiS966L and SiS968 to confirm no DDMA. all other SiS South Bridges I have tested have DDMA and it's the exact same level of support, because SiS just kept the support for years.
* OPTi has at least one chipset 82C750, but almost nothing is known, if there are no users with it to test, nothing can be done except for completeness making this note
* AMD unclear at the moment - they licensed their South Bridge from VIA, but if that included DDMA is yet to be determined
* Acer, i.e. ALi chipsets - there are several with DDMA support, but not much is known (at least to me) at the moment
6. Soundcards support
7. KoDi's tool set

Infectious Disease Readiness
The NYC Department of Health's Communicable Disease Preparedness Program works to ensure citywide readiness for Ebola virus disease and other special pathogens transmissible from person to person. New York City is an international crossroads and disease outbreaks anywhere in the world can make their way here.
Health care facilities and emergency medical services must be ready to prevent, detect and respond to dangerous pathogens. The tools and guidance documents found on this page are designed to help health care systems prepare to safely and successfully identify, isolate, assess, transport and treat patients with a suspected or confirmed special pathogen.
Mystery Patient Drills
An effective method to promote best practices in screening, isolation and infection control in the acute care setting is to conduct unannounced “mystery patient drills” (MPDs). The following materials comprise a toolkit for hospitals, health care networks and health departments to facilitate designing, conducting and evaluating these MPDs.
To request any of the following resources in a modifiable format, email firstname.lastname@example.org.
- MPD Toolkit PowerPoint (PDF) is an introductory presentation giving an overview of the program and how to conduct the drills.
- Optional Staff Training on Screening and Isolation Protocols (PDF): In order to prepare your facility’s staff to protect themselves and their patients, your organization might consider training staff on your screening, isolation and infection control protocols. Training can be provided to staff based on their role and likelihood of contact with patients. You can also reference this Essential Staff Training Terminology (PDF) document. Your facility may wish to use this training course designed by the Health Department to provide healthcare facility staff with an overview on how to identify and protect staff and patients from transmission of severe communicable diseases such as Ebola. Once you have registered for an account on the learning management system, you can search for the course name: Essential Staff Training for Infection Control.
- MPD Overview and Checklist (PDF): Provides a one page overview and a checklist to help you prepare to conduct your MPD(s).
- MPD ExPlan and Exercise Evaluation Guide (EEG) (PDF): Provides templates for the MPD exercise plan and evaluation guide. This can be modified based on individual organizational needs. Modifications you might make to the EEG should be reflected in the MPD Template After-Action Report to be used post-MPD.
- MPD After-Action Report (PDF): Provides a means to report the detailed findings of your conducted drill. It includes a template improvement plan which details corrective actions, responsible parties and a timeline for completion based on MPD findings.

When Jimmy told me that the benefit he would be doing last night would be hosted by Tony Goldwyn, I was, like, all in. I just think he's one of the most interesting actors alive. And he can sing! So, in the holding pen for all the performers after the show, I made Jim shoot this one. The tie I'm wearing is called an Endangered Species tie, and it was in a gift bag at another Christopher Reeve Foundation fundraiser Jim directed back in L.A. (There were a bunch of gift bags left over, so we went around taking the ties out of them.)

There was definitly a certain irony about reading that blog post yesterday, and my interest to bring it here. When I think of these non-geology types that dress this way I am forced to think of places like Boulder and Bozeman, for example.
No, they wear these clothes not to be ready at a moment s notice to head out to the real country, they wear these clothes as a form of conspicuous consumption. They are saying: see, I don t need to dress in old haut bourgeois weekend casual clothes, because I go out to Aspen (or Park City, or some other far off trendy place) and this is what I would be wearing if I were there. (Never mind that I only go once a season, or once every two years, I want you to think that it was just some huge deal at work that has kept me in NYC, so I am wearing my ski jacket to dinner on the Upper West Side, or I have on my fleece vest, even though I have just been to an indoor gym).
Luckily, we keep getting the exemptions, like noting that Europeans actually ARE into soccer. Well, we call it football. Also there should be an exemption about the sportswear. Europeans dress up after work, if they are going somewhere, Americans dress down. This means you are likely to meet a European person on the way to work in his fleece jacket, only to meet him out on town in an elegant coat and some snappy shoes after work. There should be warning for American men dating European women: do not get into your casual wear if you have invited her out to dinner! She ll come dressed to kill and if you re not dressed for it, she ll just leave your carcass in the gutter.

MEXICO - The Mexico Public Safety Department said Thursday it's looking for three suspects after finding some of their clothing at the scene of a burglary.
Yup, I am with Chris. Our HOA specifically bans hanging laundry, even in the backyard where it can t be seen! Besides, I also don t like the stiffness of line-dried clothing, and it would be my luck that I would forget it outside and some animal would do something horrible to it.
I didn t even know Northface EXISTED until I went to a certain baby ivy school . It still amazes me as to why its so popular. White people LOVE being unique, but they all end up being the same
I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Can one million RICH WHITE PEOPLE send me one dollar apiece, puh-lease????
There are those who combine as well. I see the north face fleece vest over a lot of business casual here in SF and the silicon valley. I think they give you one when you move to the peninsula.
You will be invoiced in Ringgit, the final BND price will depend on the exchange rate applied by your credit card/bank
I love the soft feel of clothes that come out of the dryer. I also love the fresh smell of line dried clothes. What I do is hang the clothes to dry, then pop them in the dryer for about 10 minutes with a damp wash cloth/towel to soften them. This saves electricity also since I have an electric dryer.
Ageing, he thought, comes about because this developmental programme, this constant change, never turns off. From birth until puberty, change is crucial: we need it to grow and mature. After we ve matured, however, our adult bodies don t need change, but rather maintenance. If you ve built the perfect house, you would want to stop adding bricks at a certain point, Walker says. When you ve built a perfect body, you d want to stop screwing around with it. But that s not how evolution works. Because natural selection cannot influence traits that show up after we have passed on our genes, we never evolved a stop switch for development, Walker says. So we keep adding bricks to the house. At first this doesn t cause much damage a sagging roof here, a broken window there. But eventually the foundation can t sustain the additions, and the house topples. This, Walker says, is ageing.
Im going to have to say this entire site is hilarious. ALL of you rednecks writing in with your shitty grammar also happens to be HILARIOUS. It adds character to this site. It also proves in fact that white people, white trash for the most part, are self righteous ignorant dip shits. Its funny because you see black people magazines. I always say, what if there was White People Magazine . I think black people (along with other races) would be pissed. BUT i am now reassured they would be pissed because all of the white trash would go running around with copies saying lookit what we made lookit here , we are the best USA wooo freedom acting like they never shit and piss excellence. i hate ignorant WHITE TRASH. get off your ass and join the military or get a job. get off your weak ass junkie ways. if youre not part of the solution you certainly are the problem. Thanks.
A lot of North Face stuff is made in Sri Lanka that has one of the worst human rights records on the planet.
In August 2009, MaryMargret Williams saw a photo of Brooke on the cover of People magazine, just below the headline Heartbreaking mystery: The 16-year-old baby . She thought Brooke sounded a lot like Gabby, so contacted Walker.

What about non-white people who wear technical clothing eh? I m 1/2 yellow and 1/2 white and I wear a ridiculous amount of technical clothing. Although I always want to go camping, I m not so stupid as to think my buddy s going to call an impromptu session of hiking and paddling. I for one wear technical clothing because I m a paranoid bastard. When those zombies come, you want to be hunkered down in a makeshift shanty dressed in cotton, that retains water and chills you when the temperature drops? I think I ll stick with my technical clothing. I may look like a douche, but damn yo, how many hipsters look like douches and are just gonna be eaten by zombies because they can t run in their drainpipe jeans? Sheeit yo, it ain t just white people wearing clothing that works, that in itself is degrading to people of other shades. What, because I m 1/2 Chinese I can t be (paranoia-fuelled) practical?

Whether you lean Republican, Democrat, or you side with the CSC that it’s all one and the same (which incidentally, it is supposed to be the same, if all of the moving parts of the machine were working together correctly), we want to ask a simple question. This is not meant for the wealthy Americans. Or poor Americans. It is not meant for those that receive “entitlement” benefits from the government or for people that have multiple dependents and therefore get a bigger piece of their money back when January rolls around. It is a question for everyone because Common Sense Conspiracy just wants to know if America is willing to put its money where its mouth is.
The question is simple. Whether you do or not, for the sake of this social experiment, let’s assume that you work at a job, have taxes deducted from your payroll check each week, and typically get a fairly large sum (for your personal situation) back in the form of a tax refund when the dust settles in April each year. Now, we all sit through all of the name-calling and finger-pointing in Washington. They argue over who should pay more or less tax tirelessly. Well, let’s stop for a second and ask why anyone even cares. Why are we even discussing taxes?
The answer is simple. The current system is not working. The government is not taking in enough money to cover its expenditures each year, and that results in further ballooning of the national debt. Everyone knows that the only solution to that is to bring in more cash, because we all know that the government has no intentions of cutting back one iota on what it is spending. So, the money’s got to come from somewhere. So we endlessly debate who should take the hit. Well, Common Sense Conspiracy is asking America a simple question. How would you feel if the answer was simply everyone?
I know we are going at this from a perfect world approach, but once again, for the sake of the experiment, let’s assume that somehow, someway, we can prove to you that the government has a fool-proof plan that if they get the money, they will correct the issues in a manner that serves America’s interests. Meaning paying down the deficit slowly but surely by balancing the budget with the extra cash and having some portion to go for paying back the mess they have created by years of negligence and ignoring a glaring problem that really only ever had one solution. So, all you gotta do is give up your tax refunds for the next five years. You do that, and America comes out the other side with a debt that is moving in the right direction, a government that is making progress without overspending its checking account, and the promise of a vibrant nation for your children and grandchildren. All that without having to cut back on any of the government programs (including the military) that keep us safe, secure, and healthy.
Yes, the comments section here will be filled with the argument that we can’t trust the government to do this with our money. Believe you me, Common Sense Conspiracy completely agrees with that sentiment and would never trust Washington to follow through on anything. But this is a hypothetical situation to find out if Americans, the average every-day American, really wants this to get better to the point that they would willingly make that personal sacrifice to make it happen.
So, if giving up your tax refund the next five years starting right now would fix these problems, would you do it?
And if you wouldn’t, why? Remember that in this hypothetical, distrust of the government is not a reason. We are stipulating that the right thing would be done with the money. So what would your reason be for not going with the plan? | <urn:uuid:33a0ceea-d9a4-498f-8c45-587d0bb650ca> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://commonsenseconspiracy.com/2013/01/csc-takes-americas-temperature-would-you-give-up-your-tax-refund-for-america/ | 2020-09-18T20:00:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971272 | 779 |
(Editor’s note: This article is not written by me, nor are the questions mine. It came via e-mail on DiMaggio’s behalf.)
It’s been more than 60 days since The Cellar Wine Bar and Restaurant closed their doors. Like any business that goes through this difficult decision and process, there are many questions left unanswered and issues that need to be brought to closure.
I chose to post a few comments and updates at the time of our closing and most specific to our wine club members. I purposely kept things very general and gave as little detail as possible. Unfortunately, my professional decision, and what I thought to be a courtesy, was not met with the same respect of those involved. I continue to receive all types of communications in regards to things said, questions or more importantly issues where people are being misinformed.
With that in mind, I’ve decided to answer the questions, speak out and let some things be known. I’m not approaching this with the intent to create a forum nor a mud-slinging session. I’m merely looking to share that which remained behind the scenes and to shed some light on a lot of misinformation being passed along.
So how is/was it having “them” as landlords?
Taking over from All Corked Up (ACU) immediately followed with a series of broken commitments and misgivings from the landlords. The hope was to let the issues go and chalk this up as lessons learned.
Who owns and operates the wine lockers and executive wine lockers that are in your space?
It was originally agreed that the executive wine lockers were to be owned and operated by The Cellar. Like many other things, that agreement was rescinded almost immediately upon taking ownership. We never owned or operated ANY of the wine lockers, executive or otherwise, during our 16 months in business. ALL wine lockers were owned and operated by the landlords. We never collected rental money for any of the lockers nor did we have access to the content of any lockers. The only access we had was to assist someone into the area where their locker resided. Hence, the comments that we “walked away” with anyone’s wine is absolutely not true. The only people who had access to the lockers were the landlords and those that owned (paid rent) for the lockers.
Why don’t you have a wine club? or When will you offer a wine club?
From day one The Cellar had agreed not to compete with ACU’s retail and wine club as long as that portion of ACU existed. Once ACU closed the retail and wine club operation it was possible for The Cellar to operate in that area and our wine club was established. The Cellar officially launched their wine club once ACU’s wine club had been sold.
Why am I receiving these emails from ACU regarding another wine bar and their wine club?
ACU wanted The Cellar to purchase the wine club/database portion of their business. In a meeting between myself and the landlords I was told directly that if The Cellar did not purchase the database/wine club that they would sell it to a competitor and endorse it accordingly. The Cellar did not purchase the database/wine club. When that did not happen, the threat was carried out and the database/wine club was sold to one of the competitors. Once the database/wine club was sold, ACU sent out four separate email blasts to over 5,000 ACU customers per blast, endorsing the competitor who had purchased the database. These emails strongly suggested that those customers support the competitor and the wine club at their location.
How did this “other location” end out with my information? No one gave ACU permission to sell my personal information (to include email, address, phone and credit card information)?
We continued to address this question by referring concerned customers to contact either ACU or the purchasing competitor.
(Around May/June time frame) Why/When are you closing?
From the emails I’ve been receiving I thought you were closing or had been bought … or are you going to be the second location for the competitor that was announced in their emails?
Starting around the end of May or early June time frame The Cellar began having to explain that we were NOT closing. That ACU had sold the wine club/database to a competitor and had been very actively endorsing that company and encouraging all customers to attend and support that business. In those same emails as mentioned above, they also announced that they were closing ACU. The email was presented in such a way as to infer that “everything” was closing. ACU had continued, from day one, to create a connection of ACU and The Cellar. Up until the day we closed the doors, they still referred to The Cellar as ACU in any and all conversations; both professional and personal. Hence, when the email blasts went out to all who communicated with them, interacted, read the emails, owned lockers, etc., it read as if “everything” was being closed down. At this point we experienced a significant decline in business and spent the next several months trying to “undo” the damage.
Additional questions that came from the aftermath of these events boiled down to ~
Why would they do this?
Our answer is only speculative, but all that we can come up with since our rent was paid 3 months in advance at that point and we continued to pay utilities in advance, per their billing; which yes, we know is not legal, but again we attempted to keep the peace. Our answer is simple and fitting to their previous and ongoing business and personal practices; they like to maintain control and were truly only looking for a “front person” to run things. They wanted to create something along the lines of “The Cellar at ACU” or an illusion of such. Wanting someone else to incur the headache of employee issues, “clean house” and dig it out from what it had become, a heavy financial burden. Any time a step was taken to create autonomy (i.e., street signage, move/remove ACU signage by the front door, separate entrance to wine lockers, own and operate executive wine lockers that remained in The Cellar room, separate bathrooms from ACU retail and wine locker area and plenty more) it was met with a resounding “no!”
Why did you close so abruptly?
The overall behavior of the landlord provoked an immediate closure of The Cellar. We were packed and out of the space in less than 36 hours and left behind food and other supplies, materials and equipment that we were unable to take due to storage and logistics. What became obvious was that ACU wanted to remain in the light and have The Cellar operate under ACU as The Cellar at All Corked Up.
Is there another restaurant moving into the space?
We are not aware of what’s happening with the space but would not be surprised if the next business actually operates under the unfortunate paradigm they were trying so hard to create. | <urn:uuid:d9cb2de3-e6b8-4ccd-89d1-d6c7609c6996> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://evewine101.com/2012/03/01/the-cellars-dimaggio-washington-setting-the-record-straight/ | 2020-09-18T20:25:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.98774 | 1,490 |

In combination with the gambling features, players could then trade skins they won for their cash value through. Valve's multiplayer online battle arena game Dota 2 uses cosmetic clothing and weapon replacements for the. Valve added random skin rewards as part of an update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive in 2013, believing that players would use these to trade with other players and bolster both the player community and its Steam marketplace.A number of websites were created to bypass monetary restrictions Valve set on the Steam marketplace to aid in high-value trading and allowing users to receive cash value for skins.Some of these sites subsequently added the ability to gamble on the results of professional matches or in games of chance with these skins, which in 2016 was estimated to handle around billion of the virtual goods.
These sites, along with Valve and various video game streamers, have come under scrutiny due to ethical and legal questions relating to gambling on sporting matches, underage gambling, undisclosed promotion, and outcome rigging.Evidence of such unethical practices was discovered in June 2016, and led to two formal lawsuits filed against these sites and Valve in the following month.Valve subsequently has taken steps to stop such sites from using Steam's interface for enabling gambling, leading to about half of these sites closing down, while driving more of the skin gambling into an underground economy. Olymp trade como funciona. [[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a team-based first-person shooter developed by Valve and Hidden Path Entertainment, released in 2012.The title itself was a stand-alone game built atop the Counter-Strike mod developed in 1999, and subsequently built out into a game series by Valve.Players in the game take the role of a terrorist or a counter-terrorist, with each team having a unique goal to complete before they are eliminated by the opposing team or before the timed round is completed; for example, the terrorist team may be required to plant and defend a bomb at a specific site, while the counter-terrorists must eliminate the terrorists before it can be planted, or disarm the bomb once it has been activated.

The introduction of the Arms Deal update to Global Offensive in August 2013 added cosmetic items termed "skins" into the personal computer versions of the game.The developers had considered other types of customization drops for the game before coming to weapon skins; they had ruled out on player skins, since Global Offensive is a first-person shooter and the player would not see their customization, as well as new weapons, fearing this would imbalance the game.Following the model they used for Team Fortress 2, Valve enabled players to be rewarded with random skin drops as they played matches which would be stored in their user inventory within Steam, Valve's software delivery and storefront client. C mqtt broker example. Limited-time "souvenir" skins could also be earned by watching competitive Global Offensive matches within the game or through a Twitch account linked to a Steam account.Unlike Team Fortress 2, the Global Offensive skins do not have any direct impact on gameplay, only influencing the look of a player's weapon.Skins, unique to specific in-game weapons, are given several qualities, including a rarity that determines how often a player might acquire one by a random in-game drop just by playing the game or as in-game rewards, and an appearance quality related to how worn the gun appeared.
According to Valve's Kyle Davis, the introduction of skins to Global Offensive was to encourage more players for the game by providing them free virtual items simply by playing the game which they could then use as part of the Steam Marketplace to trade with others, boosting the Marketplace's own economy.Initially, Valve had considered skins that appeared as camouflage would be more desirable to help hide on some maps, but found there was more community interest in bright, colorful skins that made their weapons appear like paintball guns.Valve's CEO Gabe Newell described the offering of skins as an "investment" that would retain some nominal value well after the player stopped playing the game, though did state that they had concerns about factors that might fall out of their control with this feature. Bagaimana membuat kunci kira kira syarikat trading bagi milik tunggal. Because of the rarity and other qualities, certain skins became highly sought-after by players.Skins became a form of virtual currency, with some items like special cosmetic knives worth thousands of United States dollars.This virtual currency was further impacted by the game giving out "weapon cases" that would contain an unknown skin.
A case, and discovery of that skin, could only be opened by purchasing a key in the in-game store for $2.49.At the same time, the most common skins that could be earned had a value far less than the cost of the key, so the player would effectively lose money if they bought a key and found a common skin.Global Offensive is not the first video game where players have traded, sold, or bought virtual in-game items, but the ease of accessing and transferring through the Steam Marketplace made it a successful virtual economy. Analisa eur usd forex malaysia. However, with increased monetary values placed on some skins, the Steam Marketplace became infeasible.The Steam Marketplace only allows sales up to $400, with all transactions subject to a 15% fee collected by Valve.Trades and purchases via the Steam Marketplace required players to add funds to their Steam Wallets to purchase skins from others, with those funds being placed in the Wallet of the seller; such funds could not be taken out as real-world money, as otherwise Valve would be regulated as a bank.
As the value of skins grew beyond these limits, new websites opened up that used the Steamworks application programming interface (API) to link players' inventory to these sites as to manage the trading of Global Offensive skins while enabling these users to spend more and receive money through other online banking/payment sites like Pay Pal or using digital currency like Bitcoin, and bypassing Valve's transaction fee.The player community for Global Offensive grew quickly following the addition of skins, further enabled by the growth of streaming services like Twitch.Valve promoted features into Global Offensive that made it favorable for professional play (e Sports), including sponsoring its own tournament. Ebook supply and demand forex. Several teams arose from high-ranking players, creating viewing opportunities during tournaments; this was further enhanced by the ability for viewers to earn "spectator" skins simply by watching these matches.Cash gambling on sports, including esports, had been banned in some European countries, and, up through May 2018, in all but four states within the United States under Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA).American case law has also determined that use of virtual goods for betting on the outcome of matches is legal and not covered under gambling laws. | <urn:uuid:27cdb979-41e8-4f99-aaf6-764495109083> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://plevencomputers.com/6172-skin-dot-trade.php | 2020-09-18T20:12:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.950133 | 2,060 |

The Swiss and German Holistic Approach for Prevention and Rejuvenation
5. CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH
TREAT THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR HEART DISEASE, REPAIR AND REJUVENATE FOR BETTER HEART
The special formulated comprehensive IV therapy for maintaining good heart and protect one from stroke or heart attack, this special formulation is key to better heart and look into treating the root cause of the disease
Vitamin C has various benefits when it comes to heart from normalizing the blood flow, protecting from vascular wall, reducing blood pressure and repairing the damaged arteries.
Elevated total homocysteine levels have recently been identified as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Homocysteine is an amino acid, its levels in the blood are influenced by blood levels of B vitamins: methylcobalamin (B12), folic acid (B9) and pyridoxine (B6)
In 2008, French researchers found an association between glutathione depletion and heart failure. They compared 76 patients with heart failure of varying degrees of severity, classified according to the New York Heart Association scale I to IV, with 15 healthy people. They found that the patients with the worst degree of heart failure (class IV) had 58% less glutathione than the patients with class I heart failure.
Many observational studies indicate that low vitamin K status as measured by high Dephosphorylated Uncarboxylated Matrix Gla Protein concentrations plays a potential role in cardiovascular disease development, particularly in high-risk and chronic kidney disease populations. Lower blood values of Magnesium sulphate and Selenium are also cause linked to ischemia heart disease. | <urn:uuid:647c530a-d187-480e-ba83-04a59812a232> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://v-wellness.com/iv-drip-cardiovascular-health/ | 2020-09-18T20:47:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.905432 | 347 |

Pope Francis may have sought his initial influence from Saint Francis for his relationship with nature, but his renewed action is fueled by Catholics around the world acting for the climate today. With the scientific conclusion that humans are causing climate change and that we must act now, Catholic organizations are pressing the issue for moral obligation.
Dan DiLeo of our partner's Catholic Climate Covenant shared, “The climate crisis is an issue of unparalleled urgency.” Alas, faith leaders are not the only ones heeding the moral call to climate action as Mercy Sr. Margaret Farley of Yale University insists that Pope Francis’ climate encyclical must draw a closer connection between humankind and nature. A statement that further demonstrates the interconnection of faith communities and academics on issues of climate change.
The encyclical on the environment, which Pope Francis is expected to release in June or July, is stimulating a great deal of discussion and hope in academia and the environmental movement.
The pope wants to make the environment one of the signature issues of his papacy. As he explained to reporters three days after his election, one reason he took the name Francis was that St. Francis of Assisi is "the man who loves and protects creation."
Conservationists are hoping that the encyclical's attitude toward animals, especially wildlife, will reflect the spirit of St. Francis, according to Lonnie Ellis, associate director of Catholic Climate Covenant.
The encyclical is widely expected to give support to those who attribute climate change to human activity since the pope has already said he accepts this scientific conclusion.
Although popes are clearly not infallible when it comes to science, Francis is the first pope to have a modern scientific training: He was educated as a chemist and worked as one in Argentina before he entered the seminary.
Christiana Peppard of Fordham University said she hopes the encyclical will affirm that "contemporary science is a marvelous way of knowing the world and that it represents a collective, collaborative way of discerning important realities about the Earth that we share, and thus that there is zero justification for skepticism of climate change among Catholics."
"The climate crisis is an issue of unparalleled urgency," says Dan DiLeo of the Catholic Climate Covenant. "Scientists generally agree that there is a closing window of opportunity within which to avoid runaway and largely irreversible human-forced climate change."
But the encyclical will, of course, need to be about more than science. | <urn:uuid:e85e3273-fb4f-4685-8dfe-4a399c20c351> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blessedtomorrow.org/faith-leaders-and-academics-join-forces-to-act-for-the-climate/ | 2020-09-18T20:25:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.9661 | 500 |

I have to admit he made absolutely terrible flavourless soup, but he made a fine pumpkin pie. Well, the amount of butter and ginger and cinnamon and walnuts in there, it would be hard for him to get it very wrong.

But I need nor want no other fish, to swim the depths with me.
Some may boast of smoother fins and brighter, better scales
But all those schools can wash away in light of all your tales.
Oh all the pretty starfishes, and sweet anemones
Could be consumed or swept away by tidal tsu-namis,
For with you I lie, face to the sky, palms clasped, backs on the brine
and with you I’ll stay, we’ll float away, and leave this old shoreline. | <urn:uuid:0a101925-e679-4cca-ac40-aa5bc4da5a4e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://catherinesietkiewicz.com/2012/02/04/to-sea/ | 2020-09-18T20:51:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.868015 | 130 |
Princess Golden Beach Hotel
Hi there, is there anyone on this site who is local to Golden Beach or can take a trip there to check out and post pics of the current status of the Princess Golden Beach Hotel? I am due to travel and stay there on May 10th and am concerned as to whether the hotel will be fit for purpose by then, following the renovations it has been undergoing. Please help!

This lady, had for many years crowns which were uneven and unsightly, so much so that she used to cover her mouth when smiling. She also had adjacent teeth with very large discoloured fillings. Her confidence was beginning to be affected as her job involved meeting people on a daily basis.
The treatment that we carried out, after discussion with her, was initially some teeth whitening and then placing new all ceramic (Emax) crowns on the front 4 teeth. She was extremely happy with the result and the new crowns have given resulted in her regaining her confidence. The next phase of the treatment will involve replacing some of the discoloured existing white fillings to ones that are more aesthetic. | <urn:uuid:83863a3f-7f41-4c8e-8415-c725fdb4b00d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://comparethetreatment.com/infohub/replacing-old-crowns | 2020-09-18T21:16:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.990051 | 147 |

SEO articles for the site – SEO WIKI
In order to understand how simple text differs from a seo article, you need to figure out why content on the site is generally necessary.
First of all, the text should contain useful information for the user about the product, product or service that this or that Internet resource offers. But there are a lot of information sites on the Internet, and users usually browse no more than 10 pages from search results. Therefore, the text should be not only informative, but also optimized for search engines and more relevant (as closely as possible to meet user requests) than competitor texts.
As a result, a seo-optimized article is a combination of informative and interesting text with key occurrences of queries.
After seo-optimization of the article, the text should be equally liked by both search robots that index the site in search engines and users who find the information they need. If you do not want to wait for search robots to index the site, you can independently register the site and key pages in popular search engines.
How to write SEO articles?
So, you have the right seo-article, which is optimized and ready to decorate the pages of your site, but you should not forget about the little things. For example, about pictures. According to psychologists, when a person looks at a text with pictures, he first pays attention to the image and only then does he begin to read. Therefore, when placing text on the pages of Internet resources, it should be remembered that it should be diluted with a pair of thematic pictures. This will turn out an interesting and informative page that will attract the attention of the visitor.
It should also be borne in mind that a large amount of text is difficult to understand, so you should either write small but capacious texts, or break the text into several pages. The recommended amount of text should be at least 2000 characters without spaces.
CWT Advertising experts also recommend that you organically embed a link in the text, i.e. special phrases to which a link to another page will be linked. The main thing is that these phrases are relevant to the topic and lead to other pages with similar topics. Such a system of seo-promotion of articles helps the user to get the most useful information on your site. In addition to the convenience of navigation, linking allows you to transfer the internal link weight to the desired pages. It also allows search engines to crawl and index pages on your site faster.
If you cannot write a seo article yourself, then entrust this matter to the word masters, copywriters who can write excellent advertising, selling texts that attract users, i.e. potential customers. | <urn:uuid:faea988d-5f29-4736-9f03-202ae0e8f42c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cwtadvertising.co.uk/seo-wiki/seowiki-seo-articles-for-the-site/ | 2020-09-18T20:03:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.920669 | 556 |

EYEAFRICA TV: Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa: As the globe marks World Aids Day on Dec. 1, the call this year is about how to help the patients mentally deal with having the virus instead of physically.
Thanks to technological advances in AIDS medicine, patients can now live almost as long as a normal person.
However, the main problem nowadays is not to help them cure their body but their mind. To AIDS patients, support from people around them could be something more precious than medical treatment.
This is why this year’s World AIDS Day theme is “community makes the difference”.
In South Africa, almost eight million people were confirmed AIDS carriers in 2018, a fifth of the world’s total, and 5.3 million of them were HIV-positive, according to the South African government. How to help them to face the disease and receive proper treatment has become a vital issue.
Bongani from Johannesburg found out that he was HIV-positive eight months ago. At first, his whole world seemed to have crashed, but the support he received from the Reproductive Health and HIV Institute has given him the courage to face the disease squarely and treat it positively.
“Since I came here to the clinic, they advised me to take the treatment, it’s not the end of the world. So since I come here, I don’t need further to do anything,” said Bongani.
Mpamba, another patient, caught the disease from his mother. Born as an AIDS carrier, the 34-year-old man said he now understands that the best medicine for the disease is simply faith. He has a wife, who is free of AIDS. He keeps reminding himself that he should live like a common person.
“You should not be controlled by the virus. You are supposed to control the virus. People don’t understand the power that they have within them. To say if one can live a normal life regardless of what they face, what is my excuse regardless of where I’m found or what my society says. It’s a self-belief that is bringing people down,” said Mpamba.
The AIDS prevention situation in South Africa is still severe. The number of new contractors in 2018 was 240,000. Thirty nine percent of the new patients were between 15 and 24, according to South African government. | <urn:uuid:f71bb653-fe5f-4c77-846d-5c7e2aa6c1a9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://eyeafrica.tv/mental-challenges-not-physical-is-main-fight-for-aids-patients/ | 2020-09-18T20:59:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.978531 | 506 |
If you’ve ever taken a walk through a French bakery or grocery store, one thing will be clear to you: the French love their butter. It is those golden mounds of fatty, milky magic that make French food taste so rich and mouthwatering, what gives French croissants the flaky sheen that makes them a specialty anywhere else in the world.
This year, as foreign markets are demanding more and more butter, France is in the middle of the worst butter shortage since World War II. And no one is more affected by this insanity than French bakeries.
Natacha Butler of Al Jazeera visits a boulangerie in Paris to see just how bad it’s gotten. “The cost has doubled for us, but we can’t raise our prices because the customers won’t understand,” says baker Thierry Adou. “Croissants and pastries are part of daily life here, so if you raise prices, we’ll lose business.”
High butter prices in France are a result of the way that butter is controlled by the government. Suppliers and supermarkets set their prices for items such as milk and butter once a year, locking all connected industries into a price hike that benefits neither bakers nor the farmers who produce the milk.
So stuff your face with as much pain au chocolat as you can, because you never know where that next stick of butter will come from. | <urn:uuid:4b1cded7-1234-4e40-8f38-b71078bd1f98> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://frenchly.us/croissants-suffer-at-hand-of-frances-butter-shortage/ | 2020-09-18T20:39:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.940959 | 304 |
Not so long ago we shared our gift making recipe with you we provided three simple steps that get you started when preparing for the Christmas madness.
Today I’m going to get more personal and tell you what have been the most precious gifts I have either made or received over the years. Since I have a true artist heart, don’t be too surprised, when some of the things aren’t tangible :)
Books for the reading worm in you!
One of my weak spots, when it comes to gifts, are books. I love giving them to people (especially to my son), but I also love receiving books as gifts, because they give you a chance to step into another world and discover something new. A book that has caught my attention this year is “Horse Henry’s Dream”. The whole concept of the book is to give back to those in need and therefore a percentage of the revenue goes to charity. In addition to helping others, this book has also the most inspiring illustrations by the super talented artist Britt Samson.
The gift of no gift at all...
An idea, that I got from my partner Jesper has been a bit more difficult to adapt to, but if you have a very close person then it can actually work wonders. So, if you really don’t have an idea what to give someone, then don’t push it and tell the person honestly that you didn’t find the gift that would show, how much he or she means to you.
However, you are still going to keep your eyes open for that perfect gift and surprise the gift receiver when you finally find something you are proud to give. For example, I once received my Christmas gift from Jesper in the middle of the summer. Imagine the surprise, when you get a truly thoughtful gift out of nowhere when you least expect it. In essence, a gift should be a surprise and that is why this idea is so close to my heart.
Giving the gift of time
For me, one of the most precious gifts someone can give me is time. Since I and my partner have both very busy schedules, I value it the most when he finds time to cook for me or go for a walk in nature together. However, a good gift is also presented well and it can be a bit tricky to wrap time - just think outside of the box! Why not make a gift certificate, that says how you are going to gift your time for that special someone in your life… a good thing is that this gift certificate will never expire!
Another gift idea revolving around time might be to gift special occasions with you; perhaps a well-designed booklet of special occasions together that your partner or friend can cash in when the time is best suited to the both of you!
Less is more
The funniest gift I have ever made was to my dear son, when we were living in Bali. As usual, children like the things they are not allowed. In our case, it was my partner Jesper’s earplugs. So imagine the joy, when Santa Claus brought our son his father’s earplugs on the Christmas morning! Such a simple gift, but I can still recall his happiness over it. That proves the most important rule about gifts in my book - it doesn’t matter how much it costs, what matters is the value of the gift receiver. You just have to pay attention and figure out, what makes a person’s eyes smile and heart beat faster.
I was bitten by the crafty bug at a very young age, so I have always loved to make gifts, rather than to buy them. But I also believe that you don’t have to be an artist to make someone a truly memorable and heartwarming gift!
If you are crafty - make a photo album of your journey together. If your inner artist reveals itself in the kitchen - make a box of handmade and mouthwatering chocolates or a bottle of mulled wine. Paint a picture or write a poem, whatever takes you to your element. Trust me, people can feel the energy and thought you put into your present. If you really can’t come up with an idea, then bear in mind that the point of giving handmade presents is to give someone a present that carries good energy!
Our butterflies are created by talented craftsmen who guarantee that our accessories carry only good vibes. However, if you want something that carries strong positive energies and brings luck to the possessor, then our energy necklace line was created just for that purpose!
Gifts for the man in your life
Coming up with a gift idea for the man in your life can sometimes be a challenge.
A funny pair of socks or underwear can be quite cute, but it can also be been-there-done-that kind of a gift. However, I think that a course on something that you are both interested in is money well spent.
For example, a cooking or a massage course is a thoughtful and educating gift for both of you.
Manly accessories are another way to surprise him, but beforehand make sure you know your man’s taste and style.
There you go - I hope you found some inspiration from my experiences. Just think outside of the box and remember that the reason we give gifts in the first place, is to show someone that we care about them. It is easy to get lost in the Christmas mayhem, but it helps to go back to the roots and recall the true meaning of traditions - to create memories and cherish the time you get to spend with your loved ones. | <urn:uuid:73f224ba-89a0-4821-b3b2-084cee1b8e3b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://getkuma.com/blogs/news/gift-guide-by-mari-part-ii | 2020-09-18T21:19:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.968597 | 1,157 |
Even with the constantly evolving COVID-19 virus situation and authorities advising all Singaporeans to defer all non-essential travel, the travel cards that are sitting around in your room are no sitting ducks. Here’s why travel cards like YouTrip, Revolut and Transferwise can still improve your life to a whole new level!
Even if you are not travelling in 2020.
If you don’t have a multicurrency wallet yet, you might just want to sign up now while the referral bonuses are still available. Click on the links or key in the active promo codes below:
1. EZ-link Card
Do you own a YouTrip card?
Or is your travel card a Mastercard/Visa with its contactless feature enabled?
In YouTrip’s case, it is co-branded with EZ-Link, which means you can use the card for your daily commute on MRTs or buses. And it is likely the same for the rest of your travel cards.
YouTrip Promo Code 2020
Starting 14 October 2019, you can travel like a boss with free travel credits on YouTrip! Use promo code GUIDESIFY5 during the signup process and receive 5 SGD for free!
The best part is, you never ever have to top up the card at a physical top-up machine. In fact, it wouldn’t work even if you try as the YouTrip card is not a CEPAS-compliant EZ-link card. It is a prepaid Mastercard.
All you have to do is top-up any amount via the YouTrip app on your phones and you’re good to go!
Fares are charged to your card as a lump sum in 2 different ways: Every 5 days or when total fares exceed 15 SGD.
From time to time, you may also notice a 0.10 SGD Balance Check transaction, which is only used to check whether your card has sufficient balance before taking public transit.
Don’t worry, this balance check will be reversed.
2. Use It For Your Everyday Expenses
Since travel cards can dub as an EZ-link card, you certainly can use it for your everyday expenses.
Have any extra cash in your card balance and want to get rid of it?
Just do it!
Be it groceries, having a meal at your favourite restaurant, or buying a cup of coffee before working from home, your travel card will work just as fine locally!
3. Shopping Online – Amazon, Taobao, etc.
Been eyeing for that dress online for months now?
Yearning for another PS4 game as part of your home entertainment collection?
Or simply waiting for the next Black Friday sale?
But wait, oops. The items are all in USD and you will lose out on the exchange rate if you were to pay via your usual debit/credit card.
Well, utilise those travel cards right now! Multi-currency cards like YouTrip, Revolut and Instarem all supports over 150 currencies when shopping online, without paying any hefty currency conversion fees.
On Revolut, you can even set up the auto-exchange feature, which allows the app to exchange your Singapore dollars to more than 25 foreign currencies beforehand at your desired amount, once the floating exchange rate is at the appropriate mark.
4. Online Financial Trading – Risky!
You can use travel cards for online trading platforms such as eToro and make use of the currency conversion benefits just like online shopping.
However, trading in the stock market is a very risky activity and is not meant for everyone. There is a certain level of risk of losing a substantial or even all of your invested capital, depending on your risk appetite.
That is the reason why YouTrip cards will block any transaction that is related to trading related activities.
In fact, Revolut is the only app used by the Guidesify team currently for the deposit of funds on online trading platforms. Do let us know if other travel wallets are viable options.
No to mention, the COVID-19 situation has also made the market a lot more volatile and harder to predict.
Trade at your own risk.
Alternatively, if you still keen on trading but don’t know or lack the experience to ensure maximum performance of your funds, there are Robo-advisors in Singapore that could do the trick. And the apps are none other than AutoWealth and StashAway.
Sign up now (referral bonuses included): AutoWealth – Enter Referral Code guideSG| StashAway
5. Remitting Money Back to Bank
Don’t fancy any of the ideas we have for you above?
Well, you are in luck if your multicurrency card is a Revolut card. Simply key your bank details and you can transfer the entire remaining balance back to your desired bank account.
For Transferwise users, there will be a small remittance fee in place when doing this transfer.
And for YouTrip? We strongly encourage you to keep your balance for your next holiday.
It can be very disappointing and frustrating to cancel your travel plans for the year. However, all hope is not lost.
Why not spend some time whilst at home to plan for your next holiday until the virus situation improves? Here are some itineraries you can look at and plan the grandest trip of your lifetime:

What Is Sex Therapy In Terms Of Sex Addiction Recovery?
What is sex therapy? It is a form of psychotherapy. In therapy, people can work with a therapist either on their own or with their spouse or partner. The issues can range from childhood trauma, abuse, neglect or intimacy to sexual concerns such as feelings or function. It is a helpful way for adults, regardless of sexual orientation, age or gender to work through their problems. In particular, sex therapy is an important part of the recovery process for many people who have struggled with sex addiction.
In general, sex therapy is conducted by licensed professionals including psychologists, doctors and therapists. CSAT's, certified sex addiction therapists are best suited to handle the problems of sexually addicted individuals. Other professionals have a specialized expertise in the field of sexual / relationship therapy. A reputable sex therapist will have a graduate degree and credentials through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).
People who are struggling with sex addiction will not always be at a point where they are ready for sex therapy. In most cases, sex therapy is meant to be a short-term treatment option. However, the treatment plan for sex therapy is based on the individual. Once a sex addict is ready for sex therapy as an individual or with his or her partner or spouse, he or she may work with the therapist to address specific treatment goals.
There is one big misconception that needs to be cleared up when it comes to sex therapy. At no time during any therapy session by certified sex therapists should there be sexual contact with the patients either in the office or off-site. If you or someone you know is going to a "therapist" who engages in contact with them, this behavior should raise a red flag. Sex therapy, like other forms of therapy involves verbal communication between the therapist and the patient.
So what exactly does sex therapy involve? Why should anyone, let alone sex addicts see a sex therapist? The answer is quite simple: Sex therapy is an effective way to help people resolve their concerns about sexual desire or arousal, sexual interests or orientation, compulsive sexual behavior, erectile dysfunction, ejaculating too quickly (premature ejaculation), trouble reaching orgasm, painful intercourse and intimate issues related to a disability or chronic condition just to name a few. All of these concerns can be worked through with the guidance of a licensed therapist.
Let's face it, discussing sex and intimacy issues can be a very sensitive subject. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that sex therapists are professionals. Your therapist will help you begin to feel comfortable discussing your concerns. A therapist's office is a safe setting where you can feel comfortable expressing yourself without judgment or conviction. It is a place where you and your partner or spouse can learn and grow together. For sex addicts, learning how to move beyond sexually compulsive behaviors and developing healthy sexual behaviors, relationships and intimacy is of utmost importance.
It is natural to feel related to take the first step and commit yourself to sex therapy. You may feel you need to somehow prepare for it. In reality, all you need to do is search for a certified therapist who you and your spouse or partner (if you are attending as a couple) feel comfortable with and trust. A good place to start is by talking to your primary care doctor. He or she can give you a referral to either a therapist or to a sex therapy clinic. Some health insurance programs or employee programs offer recommended lists for licensed professionals such as sex therapists. Another good option is to find certified members of the AASECT in your area. Finally, if you are enrolled in a sex addiction treatment program, they may recommend a number of ideal options for you.
There are many considerations you will want to keep in mind before you decide on a therapist. It is important to research the therapist's credits including education, training, accreditation and licensing. For sex addicts, you may also want to know the therapist's level of experience in dealing with issues specific to sex addiction. Other considerations might include the office location and hours, session length, treatment length, frequency of sessions, cost, insurance coverage and payment options.
Communication is essential to successful results from sex therapy. You must ensure you and your spouse or partner are comfortable with the therapist you decide on. Take some time after your consultation to evaluate how you feel about the therapist and if you feel you can develop a strong line of communication with this individual. There is no shame in asking for a referral if it is not a good match.
Once you have selected a therapist who you feel comfortable with, you may still be a bit apprehensive. Understanding what to expect may help ease your concerns. Initially, you should expect to discuss your sexual concerns. As a sex addict, you will need to discuss the nature of your sexual addiction and the steps you have taken for recovery. Essentially, you need to give the therapist a broad overview of your situation. Ultimately, the therapist will use this information to help you build communication and improve your intimacy problems.
If you are attending sex therapy as a couple with your spouse or partner, you should expect to be asked to do a number of homework exercises. These may include reading about sexual techniques, slowing down and focusing on your feelings during sexual encounters and changing the way you refer to your spouse or partner during sex. As a sex addict, it may also include learning to develop healthy sexual behaviors with your spouse or partner.
The length of your therapy will vary based on your particular needs. It can be as short as a useful of sessions or last for several months. Your experiences outside of therapy will play a large role in determining the direction of your therapy sessions. It is also important to remember sex therapy should not include physical contact between you and the therapist. This is not accepted part of mainstream sex therapy treatment.
Finally, you need to remember sex therapy will often be just small part of your treatment, especially when recovering from sex addiction.

I've always enjoyed a shitshow, so I'd go to the party and make sure my camera had a full charge. Just be safe and keep something (like a table or a lady with a baby) between you and Kim's mom so she can't stab you. Or you can take the boring route, and just take your brother out for a birthday dinner. I'm sure he'd enjoy it.

Pairing Commanders can make huge affect to the war in Rise of Kingdoms. If using the wrong commander as your secondary commander, it can put you on a disadvantage. In this guide, we wanted to show you the best option of secondary commanders to use for each situation in game such as Rally, Open Field, Defense and Barbarians.
We already created the article Top Commander Pairings in Rise of Kingdoms – Epic and Legendary. But it doesn’t show which one is the best for rally, Open Field, Defense and Barbarians. So, this guide with the main objectives (like raiding other people’s cities or hunting barbarians, etc.) give you the best pairing that you should use for each kind of objectives.
How The Pairing List Works
On the left side you have the primary commander for that given cause (in this example Open Field) and the other commanders are ordered in how well their synergy works with the primary commander. In this example, Sun Tzu is the best epic primary commander to use for open field and Keira is the best secondary commander to use with him.
Best Commander Pairings – Open Field
In the Open Field, Alexander is the strongest commander to use as primary and pairing him with Yi Seong Gye is the best choice. YSG will boost the damage incredibly with his AOE skill and this pair extremely well can beat any other pairing of the same strength.
Best Commander Pairing – Rallying
Best Commander Pairing – City Defense
Wu Zetian is the best commander for defending your city and works best with Yi-Seong Gye as secondary commander because he will boost active skill damage and overall has a great synergy. Richard is also working well with extra healing but this can get countered easily with Saladin or Mehmed attacks, so be careful here. Constantine has the extra damage reduction that can also be countered while Charles Martel’s extra march speed is useless although the other skills work well with Wu Zetian. Use Sun Tzu if you want to pair with an epic commander that has great anti-swarm effectivity and also boosts her active skill.
Best Commander Pairing – Barbarians
It doesn’t make much sense to give you a recommendation here because you always want to use a commander with the Peacekeeping Tree as the primary to get the bonus experience gained from beating barbarians and then add a secondary commander that you want to level up. Barbarians are something that you simply farm and there’s no need to do a “best” pairing here, you simply use it to level your commanders 🙂 | <urn:uuid:84257f89-9a22-436e-a244-0432c84365df> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mariogameskids.com/best-commander-pairings-for-rally-open-field-defense-and-barbarians/ | 2020-09-18T20:00:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.939785 | 535 |

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and Grand Canyon University (GCU) both laid emphasis on providing students with a package of knowledge that is “practice-oriented with a goal that professionals develop cutting-edge skills and information for professional roles, and those programs that are more theoretically or research directed with a goal of developing scholars for the generation of new knowledge.” (“The Essentials Of Master’s Education For Advanced Practice Nursing,” n.d., p.
1) . The AACN and GCU both acknowledge a golden value of master level prepared nurse to be competitive, skilled, critical thinker with effective communication skill and culturally sensitive to deliver the competent care ethically to the healthcare communities. A master prepared nurse uses an evidence based nursing practice supported with research and critical thinking knowledge to remit the highest quality of care for the patients and their families (GCU’s Mission and Vision, 2015). Both AACN and GCU realize the important for the masters prepared nurse to be culturally sensitive and understanding of others, and themselves.
Using evidence based practice through research and thinking critically helps the masters prepared nurse to deliver only the uppermost quality of care to their patients, families, and the communities they serve. | <urn:uuid:020f5186-3c5e-4e52-9fdd-49283f32e430> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://secondstaralaska.com/the-american-association-of-colleges-of-nursing/ | 2020-09-18T20:17:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.939563 | 256 |

Following on from the feature on the previous pages we look at some options for stitching images together and concentrate specifically on a review of a panorama program called Hugin.
Photoshop has a highly unreliable stitching facility called Photomerge. This can be activated via the Automate Button in Photoshop or via Bridge using Bridge>Tools>Photoshop>Pho tomerge. At best you might expect success 50% of the time. We have found this to be true for both Mac and PC operating systems. As luck would have it, the example we chose here stitched perfectly first time (and indeed for the first time ever!). There is a workaround which consists of loading the files into Photoshop layers, followed by Auto Aligning Layers, followed by Auto Blending Layers. This almost always works, the computer systems seem to be able to cope with the process when it is split down (it is interesting that the specialist software available seems to rely on their ability to multi-thread operations across many processors).
Outside of Photoshop there are many other panorama stitching programs, indeed we found 59 listed on softscan.
com although they did include things such as Microsoft's GroupShot. The software is listed on the site by 'number of downloads last week' and PTGui comes out on top. This is a paid-for application, €79 in the standard version, €149 for the pro version (which allows for batch processing). It is the weapon of choice for many people who make panoramas as it has a high level of sophistication and an ability to handle very large files (gigapan sized).

People who are into editing or even have some insight in this line of the profession know, how hard it is to create a photorealistic 3D scene or image. Softwares like Autodesk 3DS Max, V Ray, etc. are used in creating these hyper-realistic scenes or images. It takes countless hours in creating and rendering, but now, NVIDIA has introduced its new studio drivers for the GeForce RTX or Quadro RTX card.
According to NVIDIA, this new update in drivers will accelerate the V-Ray GPU rendering by 40% which is pretty insane, and it will be convenient for the animators or content creators as the most tiresome part other than the creation is the rendering of the product so, with this process getting sped up by the new studio drivers there’s a good chance that it will increase the productivity of the people related to this field.
The rollout of this update will begin firstly for the V-Ray and then the Autodesk 3DS Max and lastly on Maya. These drivers will not only increase your rendering speed, but they will also accelerate the processing of your computer on various software like Unreal Engine, Adobe Premiere Pro, etc.
As stated, these studio drivers will only work on computers that have NVIDIA’S RTX series on their computers. The features of these drivers also vary from the software you are using like if you are using the Autodesk 3DS Max with these new studio drivers you can choose the conventional CUDA Path (Compute Unified Device Architecture) or control the rendering and get 40% more acceleration as we have talked before. You may have to update your Autodesk and various apps to get the drivers up and running them without any issues or lags. | <urn:uuid:9a01e783-ad6e-4d13-b909-11a729e8d239> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://whooptous.com/new-studio-driver-of-nvidias-rtx-accelerates-v-ray/ | 2020-09-18T20:15:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.929988 | 354 |

Controversy[ edit ] Anthropologist Helen Fisher in What happens in the dating world can reflect larger currents within popular culture. For example, when the book The Rules appeared, it touched off media controversy about how men and women should relate to each other, with different positions taken by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd and British writer Kira Cochrane of The Guardian.
Sara McCorquodale suggests that women meeting strangers on dates meet initially in busy public places, share details of upcoming dates with friends or family so they know where they’ll be and who they’ll be with, avoid revealing one’s surname or address, and conducting searches on them on the Internet prior to the date.
Don’t leave drinks unattended; have an exit plan if things go badly; and ask a friend to call you on your cell phone an hour into the date to ask how it’s going.

What do guys like in a girl? What do men want in a woman that makes them see them as a catch? Moreover, we also need to factor in what men want in their life. We need to look at all three areas because they are interconnected. Some men love science, others are uninterested. Some men love fitness, some love leisure, some love humor. Every man loves something and it is plain as day if you actually look for what your man loves.

Samsung Galaxy S9 box Photo Specs Leak!
The Samsung Galaxy S9 will officially be out February 2018, alongside many leaks of the phone specs and even photo of the phones box.
According to the leaked photo the Galaxy S9’s specs, include a 5.8-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED screen, IP68 dust and water resistance, an iris scanner, 4GB of RAM, wireless charging, an 8MP front-facing camera and 64GB of storage.
Those specs are all shared by the Samsung Galaxy S8, so they’re not particularly impressive, but are in line with various other rumors.
However, some things differ, most notably the rear camera, which, while supposedly a 12MP Dual Pixel one with optical image stabilization (again, just like the Galaxy S8), is also listed as having an aperture of f/1.5-f/2.4.
Now, that could mean a dual-lens camera, but rumors suggest only the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will have two lenses, and there’s no specific mention of it being dual-lens here anyway, so another possible interpretation is that it’s a variable aperture camera, able to switch between f/1.5 and f/2.4 as needed.
Camera For Any Lighting
In practice, that would likely mean f/1.5 for low-light scenes, as it makes the lens open larger to capture more light, and f/2.4 for a broader depth of field, allowing for sharper shots in good lighting.
Samsung has actually already debuted a variable aperture camera on the Chinese W2018 flip phone, so this is a distinct possibility.
The box also mentions ‘Super Slow-motion’, which could refer to the camera’s rumored ability to shoot at 1,000 frames per second.
And it mentions stereo speakers tuned by AKG, which sounds like a much-needed upgrade – Samsung’s flagships typically don’t have great sound through their single speakers, but the Galaxy S9 could have two speakers if this is accurate.
And it could also come with Bluetooth AKG-tuned earphones according to the box, which is another leak we’ve heard before.
Of course, the box itself might be a fake or a Photoshop, so we can’t count on any of this to being true just yet, but if it is then the Galaxy S9 could be worth getting excited about for fans of photography and media. | <urn:uuid:f881ebad-a221-4dd1-983a-06b1cd25126d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://wowplus.net/samsung-galaxy-s9-box-photo-specs-leak/ | 2020-09-18T20:30:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.946939 | 525 |
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In celebration of the important contributions made by teachers, Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) is offering a special, one-day, buy-one-get-one (BOGO) promotion to all educators. From 3:00 p.m. to close on Tuesday, May 2, 2017, Chipotle will host a Teachers’ Appreciation promotion where teachers, faculty and staff at schools and universities across the country can receive a BOGO with a valid school ID.
“Chipotle appreciates the educational community and all they do for their students, day in and day out,” said Mark Crumpacker, chief marketing and development officer at Chipotle. “This is a small -- but tasty -- gesture from us to them to say thanks for their contributions to our classrooms and communities.”
The BOGO is valid for educators and staff at all levels, including pre-school, elementary, middle and high school, university and homeschooling parents who present valid identification recognizing them as staff or support on May 2. It is available for in-restaurant orders only and is not valid for online, mobile, fax or catering. There is a limit of one free entrée item per educator customer with the purchase of an entrée item of equal or greater value.
Chipotle has long been a champion for education and literacy. The company has provided reading rewards for libraries across the United States’ summer reading programs, offers tuition reimbursement to their employees and partners with Guild Education to provide discounted tuition programs for employees as well.
Earlier this year, Chipotle also unveiled “RAD Lands,” an unbranded, educational video series for kids about food and where it comes from, available through Discovery Education. The program gives teachers and parents tools to educate children on the benefits of eating fresh food, the importance of caring for our environment and how to create healthy, tasty snacks.

Steve Ells, Founder, Chairman and CEO, started Chipotle with the idea that food served fast did not have to be a typical fast food experience. Today, Chipotle continues to offer a focused menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls, and salads made from fresh, high-quality raw ingredients, prepared using classic cooking methods and served in an interactive style allowing people to get exactly what they want. Chipotle seeks out extraordinary ingredients that are not only fresh, but that are raised responsibly, with respect for the animals, land, and people who produce them. Chipotle prepares its food using whole, unprocessed ingredients and is the only national restaurant brand that uses of added colors, flavors or other additives typically found in fast food. Chipotle opened with a single restaurant in Denver in 1993 and now operates more than 2,200 restaurants.

New Wave of GMO Crops Poised for Approval Despite Public Outcry
Reposted with permission from Rodale News.
Despite its own admission that it will cause an up to seven-fold increase in chemical pesticide use, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is poised to approve a new type of genetically engineered seed built to resist one of the most toxic weedkillers on the market.

Now, total approval hinges on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. If that federal body approves the new genetically modified organism (GMO), farmers will be free to plant corn and soy seeds genetically manipulated to live through sprayings of Dow's Enlist Duo herbicide, a chemical cocktail containing both glyphosate and the antiquated, toxic chemical 2,4-D. Ironically, in the '90s, chemical companies said the development of GMOs would eliminate the need to use older, more dangerous chemicals like 2,4-D. But as GMO use ramped up over the last few decades, chemical use increased, and many weeds are no longer responding to glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, and the current chemical of choice for GMO farmers. This has created a "superweed" crisis, creating millions of acres of U.S. fields infested with hard-to-kill weeds.
With this week's USDA final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) suggesting approval of the new GMO, many public food and safety experts say the American public faces unprecedented risks. After all, current chemical use is so high that foods now actually contain "extreme" levels of glyphosate. Because it's systemic, it actually winds up inside of food. Adding 2,4-D to the mix is even more concerning, given its ties to cancer.
"USDA's announcement is an outrageous abdication of USDA's responsibility to protect our health and our food supply. The Obama Administration has ignored the interests and demands of millions of Americans, Members of Congress, and scientists, farmers and health professionals," says Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of Center for Food Safety.
Farmers are upset about the decision, too. "Weed resistance is a major problem for farmers and we need a solution. This decision shows that the only options USDA is willing to consider are ones that lead to increased profits for chemical companies. We need to get off the pesticide treadmill, not increase the speed," says George Naylor, Center for Food Safety board member and Iowa corn and soybean farmer.
Suggested approval comes despite USDA's acknowledgment that Dow's crops will trigger a three- to seven-fold increase in agricultural use of 2,4-D, foster 2,4-D resistance in weeds and inhibit farmers' use of non-chemical weed control methods. "USDA's decision represents a huge setback for farmers and sustainable agriculture. Independent scientists have linked 2,4-D to cancer, Parkinson's disease and other maladies," says Bill Freese, science policy analyst at Center for Food Safety. "Introduction of 2,4-D- resistant corn and soybeans will dramatically increase use of this toxic herbicide, leading to more disease, environmental harm and increasingly intractable weeds for farmers."
The adoption of this new generation of GMOs also threatens farmer's market favorites like tomatoes, peppers, grapes (and wine!) and potaotes. Any 2,4-D drift could cause these crops to become mangled and deformed, or even outright kill them.

One of nature's epic events is underway: Monarch butterflies' fall migration. Departing from all across the United States and Canada, the butterflies travel up to 2,500 miles to cluster at the same locations in Mexico or along the Pacific Coast where their great-grandparents spent the previous winter.
Millions of People Care About Monarchs<p>I will never forget the sights and sounds the first time I visited monarchs' overwintering sites in Mexico. Our guide pointed in the distance to what looked like hanging branches covered with dead leaves. But then I saw the leaves flash orange every so often, revealing what were actually thousands of tightly packed butterflies. The monarchs made their most striking sounds in the Sun, when they burst from the trees in massive fluttering plumes or landed on the ground in the tussle of mating.</p><p>Decades of educational outreach by teachers, researchers and hobbyists has cultivated a generation of monarch admirers who want to help preserve this phenomenon. This global network has helped restore not only monarchs' summer breeding habitat by planting milkweed, but also general pollinator habitat by planting nectaring flowers across North America.</p><p>Scientists have calculated that restoring the monarch population to a stable level of about 120 million butterflies will require <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/icad.12198" target="_blank">planting 1.6 billion new milkweed stems</a>. And they need them fast. This is too large a target to achieve through grassroots efforts alone. A <a href="https://www.fws.gov/savethemonarch/CCAA.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new plan</a>, announced in the spring of 2020, is designed to help fill the gap.</p>
Pros and Cons of Regulation<p>The top-down strategy for saving monarchs gained energy in 2014, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service <a href="https://www.fws.gov/southeast/pdf/petition/monarch.pdf" target="_blank">proposed</a> listing them as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. A decision is expected in December 2020.</p><p>Listing a species as endangered or threatened <a href="https://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/listing.pdf" target="_blank">triggers restrictions</a> on "taking" (hunting, collecting or killing), transporting or selling it, and on activities that negatively affect its habitat. Listing monarchs would impose restrictions on landowners in areas where monarchs are found, over vast swaths of land in the U.S.</p><p>In my opinion, this is not a reason to avoid a listing. However, a "threatened" listing might inadvertently threaten one of the best conservation tools that we have: public education.</p><p>It would severely restrict common practices, such as rearing monarchs in classrooms and back yards, as well as scientific research. Anyone who wants to take monarchs and milkweed for these purposes would have to apply for special permits. But these efforts have had a multigenerational educational impact, and they should be protected. Few public campaigns have been more successful at raising awareness of conservation issues.</p>
<span style="display:block;position:relative;padding-top:56.25%;" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="91165203d4ec0efc30e4632a00fdf57d"><iframe lazy-loadable="true" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KilPRvjbMrA?rel=0" width="100%" height="auto" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;"></iframe></span>
The Rescue Attempt<p>To preempt the need for this kind of regulation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service approved a <a href="https://www.fws.gov/savethemonarch/pdfs/Monarch%20CCAA-CCA%20Public%20Comment%20Documents/Monarch-Nationwide_CCAA-CCA_Draft.pdf" target="_blank">Nationwide Candidate Conservation Agreement for Monarch Butterflies</a>. Under this plan, "rights-of-way" landowners – energy and transportation companies and private owners – commit to restoring and creating millions of acres of pollinator habitat that have been decimated by land development and herbicide use in the past half-century.</p><p>The agreement was spearheaded by the <a href="http://rightofway.erc.uic.edu/" target="_blank">Rights-of-Way Habitat Working Group</a>, a collaboration between the University of Illinois Chicago's <a href="https://erc.uic.edu/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Energy Resources Center</a>, the Fish and Wildlife Service and over 40 organizations from the energy and transportation sectors. These sectors control "rights-of-way" corridors such as lands near power lines, oil pipelines, railroad tracks and interstates, all valuable to monarch habitat restoration.</p><p>Under the plan, partners voluntarily agree to commit a percentage of their land to host protected monarch habitat. In exchange, general operations on their land that might directly harm monarchs or destroy milkweed will not be subject to the enhanced regulation of the Endangered Species Act – protection that would last for 25 years if monarchs are listed as threatened. The agreement is expected to create up to 2.3 million acres of new protected habitat, which ideally would avoid the need for a "threatened" listing.</p>
A Model for Collaboration<p>This agreement could be one of the few specific interventions that is big enough to allow researchers to quantify its impact on the size of the monarch population. Even if the agreement produces only 20% of its 2.3 million acre goal, this would still yield nearly half a million acres of new protected habitat. This would provide a powerful test of the role of declining breeding and nectaring habitat compared to other challenges to monarchs, such as climate change or pollution.</p><p>Scientists hope that data from this agreement will be made publicly available, like projects in the <a href="https://www.fws.gov/savethemonarch/MCD.html" target="_blank">Monarch Conservation Database</a>, which has tracked smaller on-the-ground conservation efforts since 2014. With this information we can continue to develop powerful new models with better accuracy for determining how different habitat factors, such as the number of milkweed stems or nectaring flowers on a landscape scale, affect the monarch population.</p><p>North America's monarch butterfly migration is one of the most awe-inspiring feats in the natural world. If this rescue plan succeeds, it could become a model for bridging different interests to achieve a common conservation goal.</p>

|Hot Pockets and Lean Cuisine are among Nestlé's challenged brands in the freezer aisle.|
VEVEY, SWITZERLAND — Nestle S.A. remains confident in its frozen business, despite continued headwinds. Behind pet care, the category is the Swiss company’s second largest in the United States, where Hot Pockets, Lean Cuisine and other brands have been losing steam.
“We are, across the board, really facing some challenges in frozen food,” said Chris Johnson, executive vice-president, Nestle Business Excellence, during an Oct. 16 call with financial analysts to discuss third-quarter performance. “However, we do believe in this category. Frozen, we believe that this is a very, very worthwhile category for us.”
For the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, the company had sales of 66,224 million Swiss francs ($70,190 million), down from 68,350 million Swiss francs ($72,443 million) in the comparable period, reflecting unfavorable foreign exchange, divestitures, net of acquisitions and reduced sales growth. Nestle reported organic growth in all geographies but said ongoing challenges in frozen foods bore a negative effect on performance. Particularly pressuring results during the third quarter were strategic reductions in trade promotion behind some of Nestle’s frozen food and ice cream brands.
“We have been backing off, and that is a decision,” said Paul Bulcke, chief executive officer. “We have been taking out, for example, on premium retail base ice cream … We say, well, that’s not our business, to be competing only on price and driving a lot of efforts for nothing, for no substance, for no even strategic dimension we can build in. That’s the same in frozen.”
The move affected market share for Nestle, but Mr. Bulcke said the company sees signs of a turnaround.
“We’re not going to be pushed in the wrong corners,” he said. “We’re not going to let competitive intensity manage, per se, our businesses. Now, it hurts, and it has to be compensated. And that takes some time sometimes in very strong, very broad categories like frozen.”
|The company said it has seen some of its recent innovations performing well despite category headwinds.|
A mixed picture
Nestle divides the frozen category into four segments, each of which has its own issues, challenges and opportunities, Mr. Johnson said. The largest is pizza, comprised of DiGiorno, Tombstone, California Pizza Kitchen and Jack’s brands.
“On a positive note, we’re seeing some positive growth in the first nine months of the year,” Mr. Johnson said. “We’re seeing growth in our premium areas in pizza. We’re seeing growth with our value brands in pizza.”
Capitalizing on the customization trend in the restaurant industry, Nestle unveiled a personalized pizza kit from DiGiorno during the quarter.
“There are opportunities still to grow DiGiorno, and we’re seeing where we have innovations like our thin and crispy crust, and we’re launching new items in this area,” Mr. Johnson said. “We have optimism that this, we see, will come back.”
Stouffer’s competes in what Nestle calls its regular meal segment, and the brand has delivered mixed results. Multi-serve meals, including a meat lover’s lasagna, and individual macaroni and cheese cups are performing well, but Mr. Johnson noted the company is “struggling a bit on the single-serve side.”
In Nestle’s handheld snacks segment, Hot Pockets has taken a hit on various issues this year, including a recall related to bad beef from a supplier in February.
“This one, we’re struggling,” Mr. Johnson said. “We had a recall at the beginning of the year on some of our items. We’ve also been hit with some issues related to the reductions in federal assistance, which is a big part of the consumption of this particular product. But what’s encouraging is we’re seeing increases in velocities, regains in distributions, and we’re seeing this one is starting to come back.”
Also under pressure is Lean Cuisine, Nestle’s player in the reduced-calorie frozen meal segment.
“We’re seeing a declining segment,” Mr. Johnson said. “We are also declining in this segment.”
Recent innovations from Lean Cuisine in breakfast and snacks, however, are showing promise, he added. Nestle launched a Morning Collection featuring breakfast sandwiches with egg whites on English muffins and steel-cut oatmeal with apples, cinnamon and almonds or blueberries and pomegranate.
“We have leadership in all four of these segments,” Mr. Johnson said. “We have very strong brands. And it’s our challenge to make sure that we’re innovative and that we provide and address consumer needs better and better as we move ahead.”Added Mr. Bulcke: “I’m confident, too, in the frozen business in the United States.” | <urn:uuid:d3db044e-4943-427a-b936-2a6530cac5e5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.foodbusinessnews.net/articles/3339-nestle-not-thwarted-by-thaw-in-frozen | 2020-09-18T20:38:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.94704 | 1,140 |

If you’re at all familiar with Rolex watches, you will no doubt know that it is a struggle to find certain models in boutiques. Stainless steel sports models are pretty much sold out in retail shops and waitlists are years-long. Thankfully, there’s the secondary luxury watch market, which not only offers current-production used Rolex watches but discontinued models too. This means a bigger assortment for customers–plus some very good deals too. The great thing about Rolex is that its watch designs have not changed that much over the decades. So, if you love the look of a steel Submariner but simply cannot find a current model in stores, then you can opt for a discontinued model in the pre-owned market with a very similar style. With that in mind, here are our top picks for the best used Rolex watches to buy right now.
Rolex Yacht-Master 16622
Rolex first introduced the nautical-inspired Yacht-Master in the 1990s. Although it is undeniably a sports watch, the Yacht-Master is in many ways more luxurious than other Rolex Oyster Professional models. For instance, when the collection made its debut in 1992, Rolex opted to launch the collection with a solid 18k yellow gold model. Less than a decade, later, Rolex unveiled Rolesium versions of the Yacht-Master, including the ref. 16622 we see here. In Rolex-speak, Rolesium is the marriage of platinum and stainless steel on one watch.
The Yacht-Master ref. 16622 sports a 40 mm Oyster case in stainless steel and water-resistant to 100 meters. On top of the case is a rotating timing bezel crafted from 950 platinum. A particularly attractive design trait of the platinum bezel is the mix of finishes–the background has a sandblasted texture while the raised numerals are high polish. The sandblasted platinum texture carries over onto the dial, where we see the customary Rolex sports watch hallmarks like Mercedes-style hands, lume-filled hour markers, and a date window. For the final sporty touch, the watch is fitted with Rolex’s famed Oyster bracelet, also in stainless steel.
While the brand has since replaced the platinum and steel Yacht-Master 16622 with newer models, the new ones look remarkably similar to the older versions. They share the same dimensions, materials, and design–which makes the 16622 one of the best used Rolex watches to pick up right now.
Rolex Submariner 16610
Among Rolex’s pantheon of hits, the Submariner still stands out as the greatest of all time. Since its introduction in the 1950s, Rolex’s signature dive watch has undergone a bevy of enhancements and modifications, yet still stays true to its fundamental design traits that make it so appealing. Although the watch was originally conceived as a tool watch for scuba divers, the popularity of the Submariner has gone well beyond that particular audience to become one of the watch world’s must-have models.
In the mid-2000s, the Submariner collection underwent its most drastic facelift yet with the introduction of a bulkier case, bolder dial, heavier bracelet, and ceramic bezel. Yet, for those who prefer the classic Sub style, then the stainless steel Rolex Submariner Date 16610LN hits all the right notes. The 16610 features a 40 mm Oyster case water-resistant to 300 meters topped with a black unidirectional dive bezel in aluminum. The black dial is unmistakably Rolex with its mixture of round, rectangular, and triangular hour markers filled with luminescence, in addition to the familiar Mercedes-style center hands.
The last of the classic diver models in the brand’s archives and still available for well under five figures; so the steel Submariner 16610 is one to consider if you’re looking for one of the best used Rolex watches in today’s market.
Rolex GMT-Master II 116710
Did you know Rolex no longer makes GMT-Master II watches with a black bezel? That’s right; if you look at their current lineup of new generation GMT-Master II watches, there are no options for ones with a mono-colored bezel–which is a shame because the famous pilot’s watch looks great with a 24-hour bezel in classic black. But there’s always the secondary market, where you can still find the handsome stainless steel GMT-Master II ref. 116710LN for sale.
The GMT-Master II 116710LN made its debut in 2007 and at that time, it was the first stainless steel GMT-Master model fitted with a ceramic bezel. Rolex only introduced the modern scratch and fade resistant Cerachrom ceramic bezel two years earlier on the yellow gold GMT-Master II. Therefore, fans of stainless steel Rolex watches were delighted to see this one released. Of course, the bezel isn’t just for looks but it is how wearers of the GMT-Master II watch can read a second time zone using the green 24-hour hand on the dial.
A beloved Rolex model with a history that dates back the 1950s, this GMT-Master II clad in stainless steel, fitted with an Oyster bracelet, and topped with a black ceramic bezel is an understated version that will always remain in style.
Rolex Datejust 116234
Is there a luxury watch as classic, versatile, and practical as the Rolex Datejust? You’d be hardpressed to find one! A staple of the Rolex collection since 1945, the Datejust is an easy watch to wear every day and stay in love with forever. While the Datejust comes in so many different sizes and flavors, a stainless steel version with a traditional 36 mm case and dressy Jubilee bracelet is a timeless choice.
This particular Rolex Datejust ref. 116234 with a steel 36mm case, white fluted bezel, blue dial, and Roman numerals is no longer in production since Rolex recently unveiled a new Datejust 36 collection. Yet, as a recently discontinued Datejust model, it has everything you need from a modern Rolex: sapphire crystal, quickset date function, and robust bracelet design with the improved clasp (fitted with the Easylink extension system).
In short, if you’re on the hunt for a top-tier pre-owned watch, the previous generation Datejust in stainless steel is one of the finest used Rolex watches you can go for. | <urn:uuid:ee69dbca-6b75-4653-a2fe-51fa42596c9d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.grayandsons.com/blog/the-best-used-rolex-watches-to-buy-right-now/ | 2020-09-18T21:15:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.920095 | 1,385 |
John Theurer Joins Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center Consortium
1 of only 16 in the U.S. approved by the National Cancer Institute
John Theurer Cancer Center, part of Hackensack Meridian Health Hackensack University Medical Center and a leading cancer institution in the New York/New Jersey metro area, announced today it received approval from the National Cancer Institute as a research consortium member of the NCI-approved Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center Consortium.
“At Hackensack Meridian Health, we are committed to innovation across all aspects of health and health care, including how we research, treat and cure cancer,” said Robert C. Garrett, FACHE, CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health. “It is our hope that the work we will do through the consortium will benefit individuals not just in the New York/New Jersey metro areas, but also reduce the burden of cancer across the country.”
John Theurer Cancer Center is now a member of one of just 16 NCI-recognized cancer consortia based at the nation’s most prestigious institutions including Harvard University, Dana-Farber/ Harvard Cancer Center; Cleveland Clinic, part of the NCI-designated Case Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center.
John Theurer Cancer Center’s collaboration with NCI-designated Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center enables both organizations to continue their research at the highest level to deliver tomorrow’s breakthroughs in cancer cures today. The consortium plans to advance research and innovate treatment in four key areas: Breast Cancer, Cancer Prevention and Control, Experimental Therapeutics and Molecular Oncology.
“Our relationship with Georgetown Lombardi is built on an ambitious research-driven agenda to improve cancer care and outcomes. We have worked together since 2013 with a common mission to prevent, treat, and cure cancers by linking scientific discovery, expert and compassionate patient care, quality education, and partnership with the community,” said Andrew L. Pecora, M.D., F.A.C.P., C.P.E., president of Physician Enterprise and chief innovations officer at Hackensack Meridian Health, professor of medicine and oncology at Georgetown University. “The NCI’s approval of the consortium represents the culmination of integrated research and collective talent and resources of two cancer centers. Collaborating with Georgetown Lombardi, a leading institution, allows us to use high-impact science to change both practice and policy.”
Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center Consortium members advance cancer research and innovate treatment for individuals in the New York, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. metro areas. The Consortium’s strategic objectives are to advance transformative cancer research; reduce the impact of cancer and diminish disparities in our catchment area; lead high-impact clinical research; ensure long-term growth, vibrancy and stability of the research enterprise; and develop the next generation of cancer scientists, clinicians and educators.
“We’ve aligned two very distinct institutions,” said Dr. Louis M. Weiner, M.D., director of the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center and professor of medicine and oncology at Georgetown University. “Yet it is these differences that make us stronger. Our communities are made of unique populations, our researchers and physicians specialize in different areas, and our broader institutions bring a differentiated approach. Our research relationship with John Theurer Cancer Center has deepened our work in the key major areas of basic research, clinical research, population science, community outreach and engagement, and cancer research career enhancement. The combination of this deepening research relationship in New Jersey expands the impact our cancer center has on science and delivery of cancer care. Quite simply it allows us to provide tomorrow’s treatments today.”
Separated by distance but connected by commitment, these two unique organizations have united to advance innovation in research, treatment and advocacy in the fight against cancer in the United States.
John Theurer Cancer Center supports one of the largest bone marrow transplant (BMT) programs in the Northeast, performing well over 400 transplants annually. In 2014, John Theurer Cancer Center established a BMT program at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital/Georgetown Lombardi, expanding access to this life-saving treatment in the Washington, DC area. Together, the two cancer centers have also expanded research in CAR T-cell therapy, a revolutionary customized immunotherapy and invest in studies to assess other potential uses of this immunotherapy. John Theurer’s multiple myeloma program brings a new expertise to MedStar Georgetown/Georgetown Lombardi and to their patients who can benefit from advances in treatment.
With their substantial respective research bases, Georgetown Lombardi and John Theurer Cancer Center are together working to solve some of the biggest challenges in cancer today, including cancer disparities. The National Cancer Institute defines cancer disparities as certain groups bearing a disproportionate burden of cancer compared with other races, ethnicities, or population groups.
“This NCI consortium approval was based on a rigorous process that began in 2013, and was made possible thanks to hard work and commitment across both teams at Georgetown Lombardi and John Theurer Cancer Center,” said André Goy, MD, MS, chairman and executive director of John Theurer Cancer Center, professor of medicine at Georgetown University. “Through the consortium and its support, the National Cancer Institute seeks to expand its core mission of fostering cancer research and advancements that benefit patients across the country. Our work with Lombardi has already helped accelerate both programs particularly in bone marrow transplantation, cell therapy – including CAR-T cell therapy, immunotherapy and new drugs development. As research partners, we also want to take advantage of technology and data/analytics, to improve patients’ outcomes and reduce cancer burden across all communities.”
An important part of our work as part of the Consortium is to address and reduce cancer disparities,” said Ihor Sawczuk, M.D., regional president, northern market, Hackensack Meridian Health. “Programs like those under the newly formed ‘Community Outreach and Engagement Team’ and the Latino Cancer Disparities Center will help in these critical efforts.” | <urn:uuid:fa04a11d-f290-47c3-8e1d-0a39ed69e21b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.hackensackumc.org/2019/05/07/national-cancer-institute-approves-john-theurer-cancer-center-of-hackensack-meridian-health-as-member-of-prestigious-research-and-treatment-consortium/ | 2020-09-18T19:12:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.923211 | 1,275 |
Burnley manager Sean Dyche has lauded Watford's model as one that does work despite the Pozzo family removing him from his position when they bought the club.
The 46-year-old guided the side to an 11th placed finish in the Championship, their best performance for four years at the time.
Dyche was replaced by Gianfranco Zola in the Hornets hotseat but moved to the Clarets the following season where he has had unprecedented success.
Speaking before his return to Vicarage Road he said: “I had a fantastic time there. They’ve got a way of working that does work.
"It’s not everyone’s cup of tea across the realms of football, but it’s clearly a complete business model change and they’ve done that very successfully.
“They’ve got in the Premier League which was their intention. They’ve developed a stand and training ground, and found a system of recruitment that’s worked for them.
“I think from my time there’s only Troy (Deeney) and Maps (Adrian Mariappa) went for a little bit and came back.
“They are the only ones (from his former squad) that are still active there, and two fine professionals.” | <urn:uuid:81b889df-078a-4c63-af14-8531a3f8588c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/sport/watford-vs-burnley-dyche-news-1428127 | 2020-09-18T21:28:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.98725 | 278 |
How to prepare your prenup in China. We have prepared this article to clear up any doubts you may have relating to prenuptial agreements and the legalization of prenups signed in China. Starting a family with a foreigner is of course very exciting, but legally speaking, things may not always run so smoothly. And when it comes to preparing a prenuptial agreement or ‘prenup’ (also called a marriage contract), it may cast a few negative shadows in the minds of those planning to tie the knot.
How to prepare your prenup in China. We have prepared this article to clear up any doubts you may have relating to prenuptial agreements and the legalization of prenups signed in China.
Prenuptial agreement China: getting a prenup in China is becoming more popular, after one too many marriage misfortunes caused by not having such a contract. Scmp reported an incident of a spouse committing suicide after receiving divorce papers together with a blackmail note from his ex-wife demanding a payment of 1.5 million dollars and a full ownership of their Beijing apartment.
Prenuptial agreement China: Why should you consider having one?
Starting a family with a foreigner is of course very exciting, but legally speaking, things may not always run so smoothly. And when it comes to preparing a prenuptial agreement or ‘prenup’ (also called a marriage contract), it may cast a few negative shadows in the minds of those planning to tie the knot. But nevertheless, it is a good idea to protect both of your assets from any not-so-happy endings.
Signing a prenup not only will protect your existing assets and inheritance, but also will protect your spouse from any future debts you or your business may have.
How to prepare your prenuptial agreement in China for foreigner-chinese marriage
The process begins in your lawyer’s or notary’s office (depending on the county of your residence) . As the marriage will be legal in your country (and in China), you will need to have a lawyer or a notary who will draft a contract in your native language. When it comes to a marriage contract, only the native language of you and your spouse counts (so for a French-Chinese marriage for example, no English documents are necessary). To have a tailor-made draft will cost you quite some cash, and there is an option of a “standard draft” with the option to adjust it as many times as you like in future.
The draft will be signed by the notary or a lawyer, as he/she will be liable for any mistakes in such an important document.
The second step is to translate your prenup to Chinese (language of your spouse). For this you will need to call upon the services of a sworn translator who also has to sign the document and mark it with their official seal.
Lastly, you will need to sign your prenup before you sign your marriage license, otherwise this contract will have no legal effect.
How to prepare your prenup in China for foreigner-foreigner marriages
If both of you are foreigners who live in China, and you are not from the same country. You still can prepare a prenuptial agreement in China.
With the exception of a few countries, you will most likely have to obtain your marriage certificate at your local Chinese Registration Centre of Marriage and Adoption. After that you will have to have it legalized it in your respective counties.
If you plan to have a prenup, sign it before your “wedding day” at the Chinese authorities. If you are already married, you may be able to get a postnuptial agreement, which will work in a similar way.
To prepare a prenup, one of the future spouses must contact a lawyer/notary of his/her home country or a embassy/consulate. The lawyer/notary will draft a prenup in the native language of one the applicants. After that the marriage contract shall be translated to the native language of the second spouse by a Sworn translator. And only after attaching those translations, both parties can schedule a meeting with the notary at one of your consulates, where all parties will sign it.
Prenuptial agreement China: What other reasons are there?
If one of you decides to stay home and raise children. I.e. stay-at-home parents who become almost fully dependent on the income of the working spouse, as he/she forfeits years of income and working experience.
Inheritance to be kept or split. A prenuptial agreement can specify what happens with the inheritance in case of divorce.
Debt. A prenuptial agreement can protect or limit the responsibility of one of the spouses from the debt of the other.
You have a business. If one of you has a business, it makes sense to ensure its financial independence and minimize surprises. By making it clear how and if this business will be split, you will avoid many headaches in the future.

The folks at Oreo must be going flavor-happy, because they've been cranking out new varieties like crazy. The latest: Watermelon Oreos, which feature a bright green-and-pink filling sandwiched between two vanilla wafers.
“We chose Watermelon because it is a fun, summer flavor that goes great with the Golden OREO cookie,” explained Oreo spokesperson Kimberly Fontes to Time.
The snacks debuted on June 10 and are now on Target shelves nationwide for a limited time. According to Consumerist, they cost around $3 a box.
We're set to receive a box ourselves (stay tuned for a taste test!), and initial reports have us optimistic about the cookie's flavor. The blogger behind Junk Food Guy is clearly a fan, writing in a complimentary post that he "liked these. A LOT. These DIDN’T overwhelm me with artificial (well, overly artificial) watermelon flavor. Instead the immediate taste I got was a watermelon taste that tasted like, frankly, it had been blended with creme."
Stay tuned, and we'll let you know if these babies live up to the hype. Below, check out some other weird and wonderful Oreo flavors.

The campaign is coinciding with increased political polarization — both major presidential candidates have historically high unfavorability numbers. The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) warned that political uncertainty created by the current political tensions increases the chances of another recession.
“Stock valuations and debt spreads both respond adversely to the increases in uncertainty that seem to come with the election cycle,” the report noted. “The probability of a recession occurring within the next 12 months is roughly twice as high in the U.S. during the month of a presidential election relative to other months.”
AEI reported that market uncertainty tends to be a part of presidential election cycles. The outcome of an election can have a huge impact on markets, because the winner essentially determines economic policy. Political polarization might worsen the problem by motivating both sides to make a more extreme platform.
“Political polarization in the United States continued to march upward,” the report went on to state. “A development that, for reasons to be explored later, likely exacerbates the effect of the uncertainty that arises from elections.”
Businesses and investors do best when they have a sense of what to expect. Both make decisions based on a plan, determined by how the market is likely to look in the future. When markets become more unpredictable, it makes such planning more difficult.
The last recession ended just about seven years ago, but its impact is still being felt by many. Another recession could be very damaging because the economy is not yet fully recovered. Political experts on both sides of the aisle tend to agree the recovery has been very sluggish but their reasoning for why tends to break along partisan lines. | <urn:uuid:50a21d0d-b92a-420f-bce0-d20e6ef3bfbd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.insidesources.com/report-how-the-election-is-driving-us-towards-another-recession/ | 2020-09-18T20:44:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971511 | 339 |
Interesting submission, but probably not your own design? See halftime feedback under the brief. ;o)
Janne, wake up, is the idea that counts and that I find very beautiful!
Copy and paste is not really an idea imo
Here another one that captures only the first aspect, then everyone develops the idea according to their skills.

A new eyewear product has hit the market, and promises to offer relief to anyone who spends the day behind a computer or switching between digital devices. The aptly-named ‘blue light glasses’ claim to filter out blue light from your everyday environment.
Even if you haven’t heard of blue light before, you’ve certainly been exposed to it. Blue wavelengths are emitted from electronics like computers, tablets and cell phones and help to boost your mood and attention—helpful attributes when you’re focusing on completing a task. But, in recent years, blue light has also been blamed for a slew of side effects from a day spent staring at screens, like headaches, blurry vision, dry eyes and eye pain.
So, could blue light lenses be a lifesaver? Not necessarily.
“While it’s true that staring too long at a screen can result in headaches or eye pain, there is not currently any scientific evidence that blue light is what causes these symptoms or any long-term eye damage,” says Michael Negrey, MD, ophthalmologist at Riddle Hospital, part of Main Line Health.
Blue light comes from electronic devices but it comes from other sources, too, explains Dr. Negrey. Natural sunlight, as well as LED and fluorescent lighting, emit blue light but are rarely pointed to as causes of eye pain and strain. Therefore, blue light isn’t to blame and blue light glasses likely won’t reduce or eliminate these symptoms.
Instead of spending money on new lenses, Dr. Negrey recommends the 20-20-20 technique to prevent eye strain. “Whenever you’re in front of a screen, take a break every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This gives your eyes a much-needed break from staring at a screen so closely.”
Minimize blue light at night
Blue light may not be to blame for eye strain, but it can be harmful to sleep latency (the amount of time it takes to fall asleep) and sleep quality. If you’re interested in trying blue light glasses, the best time to try them isn’t during the day, it’s before bed. “Exposure to light at bedtime can suppress the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that regulates your sleep-wake cycle. Low levels of melatonin have been linked to health risks like cancer and diabetes,” says Dr. Negrey.
This is why experts recommend avoiding electronics up to one hour before bedtime. However, if you absolutely must use a cell phone, computer or tablet before bed, you may give blue light glasses a try. If you’re hesitant to invest in a pair, there are other options that can reduce your exposure to blue light. Check your device’s settings to see if it offers a ‘Night Shift’ or similar feature that minimizes blue light.

Be the grateful one
Updated: Oct 19, 2019
I learned a painful lesson many years ago. It’s this: no one has to be nice to you. No one. Many people don't understand this.
Not everyone is kind. Unfortunately, there are people that you’ve trusted with your heart who are underserving of that treasure. There are folks in your life who should treat you like gold, but they discard you like garbage. And there are others who breeze through life with the selfish expectation that any kindness shown to them is their right. Sad to say, but that’s life.
That thought—that no one has to be nice to me—has guided my actions for decades. When someone shows me even the simplest kindness, I am truly grateful.
You would think it’s a small thing, gratitude. But people notice. Gestures of kindness or even simple etiquette are often done without a second thought, as it should be. But noticing the act kindness, being present in the moment, and appreciating the person who sees your humanity and your need is huge—even if that kindness was just holding a door open.
I’ve discovered that gratitude expressed is like a tender hug. Gratitude puts the spotlight on the other person. Gratitude is the most gracious response we can give to another person.
Don’t just smile your gratitude. I speak it. Words are powerful.
And don't just speak your gratitude, feel it. Neuroscience has revealed that gratitude rewires your brain to be a happier person. Check it out.
Be grateful for every moment that you get to spend with people you love, and don't forget to tell them how much they mean to you.
In today’s world where everyone seems to be rushing through their day, take a moment and be the grateful one. It will be a blessing to someone else. | <urn:uuid:c3194a93-df9f-40bd-b4d1-9de68929aa44> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.megandimaria.com/post/be-the-grateful-one | 2020-09-18T19:44:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.968143 | 395 |

The calls came into 911 reporting a man with a gun. Shortly after 7 a.m. on Sunday, the authorities said, three New York police officers responded to an intersection in Brooklyn, where they faced a 31-year-old man and raised their weapons.
The man was acting erratically, yelling and confronting people around Sterling Street and Rogers Avenue, in the Prospect-Lefferts Garden neighborhood, the police said. He was threatening people with a weapon, a 9-millimeter handgun, police officials said. And he had fired it; the police said that the gunshots were detected by ShotSpotter, a technology deployed last year that reports to the police the time and the location of gunfire in parts of the city.
But even as some residents said they heard the gunfire, they also contended that the man, Paul Mathurin, was not the one who had fired the weapon. At least one witness said they thought that Mr. Mathurin was, instead, carrying a cellphone.
The officers fired 12 rounds at Mr. Mathurin, who was struck once in the right hip, the authorities said. He was taken to Kings County Hospital Center, where he was listed in stable condition; his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening, officials said.
As the authorities continued to look into the circumstances leading up to the shooting — in addition to the officers’ decision to use their weapons — the case served as a reminder of the split-second choices police officers have to make, but also highlighted how conflicting accounts from witnesses can complicate an investigation.
The shooting came at a moment when tensions between law enforcement and some communities across the country have been thrown into sharp relief after the high-profile killings of black men by police officers that were recorded on video, as well as the attack on police officers in Dallas, in which five of them were killed.
At a news conference on Sunday, police officials standing near the scene of the Brooklyn shooting told reporters that Mr. Mathurin was a danger to people on the street. Vincent DiDonato, the deputy chief in charge of detectives in the Brooklyn South precincts, said witnesses told investigators that Mr. Mathurin had “showed the gun to them in a menacing manner,” which led them to call the police.
His behavior was “totally irrational,” Chief DiDonato said, “yelling and screaming.”
When the officers arrived, they encountered Mr. Mathurin with a gun in his hand, Assistant Chief Steven Powers, the patrol commander for Brooklyn South, said at the news conference.
“They told him to stop,” Chief Powers said, “and when he didn’t stop, they fired.”
Investigators recovered a weapon, the 9-millimeter pistol, at the scene, the police said. Police officials also said investigators had found surveillance camera footage that showed Mr. Mathurin with a gun and talked to witnesses who said they saw him armed.
Keisha Russell lives in a top corner apartment in a four-story building on the corner of Lefferts Avenue and Rogers Avenue. She said she was woken up around 6:30 a.m. by what sounded like eight shots. Then, at around 7, she said, she saw Mr. Mathurin, her neighbor, turn the corner from Lincoln Avenue onto Rogers Avenue, walking toward her apartment. He wore a black hooded sweatshirt, carried a large cellphone and had on earbuds.
“I just feel like he was the first person they saw and they shot him down,” she said.
Ms. Russell declined to talk to police officers at the scene, though she did talk to investigators from the Brooklyn district attorney’s office. She said she did not trust the police.
Brian Barajas, 33, left his home, on Rogers Avenue near Lefferts Avenue, shortly after 7 a.m., when he saw a man coming toward him waving a gun in his left hand. The man shouted threats and at one point put the gun inside the front of his jeans.
“All I saw was a gun,” Mr. Barajas recalled later on Sunday. “The gun was pointed in the air, he was yelling in my direction, we locked eyes.”
Mr. Barajas took off sprinting, and ducked between two parked cars to call 911, he said. He could still hear the man; he was yelling and it sounded to Mr. Barajas as if he were following him. He took off again and saw two police cars rushing in. Not long after, he said, “I heard, ‘Pop, pop, bla-la-la-la-la-pop!”
Mr. Mathurin grew up around the neighborhood, his family said. He had been given the nickname “Usher,” like the R&B singer, because he liked listening to music and singing and dancing along. He was also nicknamed “Smokey,” for his fondness for marijuana, which had gotten him in trouble in the past, they said.
Mr. Mathurin’s father, who is also named Paul Mathurin, said his son had been arrested numerous times and had recently returned from jail. A cousin said the younger Mr. Mathurin, a small man who stood about 5-foot-5, had a cavalier attitude about being arrested. Once, the cousin recalled, Mr. Mathurin submitted to the police, telling others, “Oh, I’ll be out soon.”
But another cousin, Micheleine Guerrier, noted that he had been acting fearfully in recent days. Mr. Mathurin had said that a man who had assaulted him in jail had been released. “He was afraid,” she said, “truly afraid.”
Still, family members did not believe that he would have a weapon. His father denied that his son had ever menaced anyone, acted violently or owned a gun. “I’m very, very, very, very upset, because I didn’t raise him that way,” Mr. Mathurin said.
“Carry a gun? Never,” his father said. “One hundred percent.” | <urn:uuid:1fce04ad-86f6-455a-a03b-3bd05c01dfff> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/11/nyregion/police-shoot-man-in-brooklyn-officials-say-he-had-a-gun.html | 2020-09-18T20:40:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.990772 | 1,324 |
This book was so intense that I had to take breaks from reading it due to the realness of the subject matter. I can't imagine having gone through what Alice went through and then being OK psychologically. As it turned out, Alice wasn't as OK as she thought she was, as evidenced by her later drug use and other behaviors. I read the NPR transcript of her conversation with Terry Gross on 'Fresh Air' at the end of the novel and I liked what she had to say about therapeutic writing, that writing can be therapeutic, but that therapeutic writing shouldn't be published. I think I agree with that statement. I'm sure many memoirs are written as a form of therapy, but in Alice's case, her memoir came to be after she reached a point where she was OK. As she stated, reading her journals about how she felt after the rape after all those years was "mind-blowing" and made her realize that she "did OK." I also liked what she had to say about being able to find compassion for the man that raped her, that just because you can't forgive someone for what they've done to you, doesn't mean you can't find compassion for them.
A personal tale of the author's personal hell. Written by the author of The Lovely Bones, this book gives the chilling real life story of the author's survival...physically, mentally, and emotionally...of a brutal rape. Difficult to read at times...not because of the quality of Ms. Sebold's writing...it is superb... but because it is shocking in its truth and honesty. I lived in Syracuse, NY during my college years, so many of the places described are very real to me...a little too real for comfort at times.
I hope to read more from Alice Sebold in the future. She is indeed a gifted writer. Perhaps her literary talents have helped her to survive this ordeal. I highly recommend this book!
I read The Lovely Bones and it is a favorite of mine. This book is a totally frank account of how the author's rape impacted her life. I think it was a courageous book for her to write and share her story with us.I am going to insist my 19 yr old college freshman read this.
Riveting true account of the author's experience after being raped at 18. Truthful and compelling, it is difficult to imagine how she was able to write it down.
An absolutely brilliant account of surviving rape, an indictment of the efficient legal system, and a critical look at the work of advocates that are part of Rape Crisis programs. | <urn:uuid:7c2427fe-6a6c-47fb-83ca-1c445e191707> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.paperbackswap.com/Lucky-Alice-Sebold/book/0316096199/ | 2020-09-18T19:09:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.988449 | 529 |

Ringing in the 2019 Festival Week
Updated: Jan 13
Peaceful Heart will join in solidarity with our spiritual sisters and brothers at 3:00pm on Saturday, Dec. 21st by a ringing of the bells and one minute of silence as we join hearts and minds together for the purpose of ushering in spiritual Goodwill for all.
Every seven years, from December 21 – 28, a tide of Capricornian influences flow into humanity, providing a ‘week of group impact’ strengthening the work and consciousness of the New Group of World Servers.
During this week there will be an inpouring of Goodwill energies that are to be distributed to humanity through the energy fields of spiritual activists all over the globe. All are welcome to join in, as it is believed that together humanity shares One Heart.
The following excerpt more fully describe this event from Festivalweek.org:
“Millions today share the conviction of an inner spiritual unity within humanity, transcending any outer differences of race, nation and creed. Amongst these millions, a worldwide group of servers, drawn from every field of human life, is pioneering the ideas and practices of an emerging spiritual civilization. Through the substance of their lives, a new world of goodwill, unity and rights relations is being born. The group is evidence of a living bridge between the heavens and the earth.”
“In the twentieth century, a leading thinker in Western esotericism, Alice Bailey, pointed to the emergence of this diverse group, as one of the most significant developments in the history of humanity, and key to birthing of a New Age. She named the group, the New Group of World Servers.
Alice Bailey referred to one week in December every seven years as the Festival Week of the New Group of World Servers. During the Week, a significant cosmic alignment takes place, and the mind and heart of the group of all true servers is energized by Light, Love and Spiritual Will flowing from the Great Beings, Saints and Angels of the Higher Worlds.
Please join with others during the Festival Week this December. Through meditations and concentrated alignments, we can together visualize the inpouring energies of the One Life evoking transformative responses from the New Group of World Servers – strengthening the hands of all who love and serve.” | <urn:uuid:abc9ba61-51a4-488a-9ec5-3b3f5787022b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.peacefulheart.net/post/2019/12/17/ringing-in-the-2019-festival-week | 2020-09-18T19:44:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.927741 | 477 |

Agave 'Crazy Horse' comes from Texan Shawn Stegent, who discovered it growing at a Montgomery County, Texas real estate office around 2000. For us, our seven-year old patch has produced 2' tall x 3.5' wide rosettes that offset quite fast. The 9" wide, flat, blue-green, deeply-lobed leaves are particularly architectural. Based on observations by Daniel Serrano, we now believe Agave 'Crazy Horse' to be a hybrid of Agave cupreata and Agave asperrima. | <urn:uuid:bc50d968-b507-4d66-8aed-8e28a5100e00> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.plantdelights.com/products/agave-crazy-horse-cupreata-asperrima | 2020-09-18T21:06:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.854159 | 223 |
Sorted by title, showing title and first line
I am a shell. From me you shall not hear
Next, then, the peacock, gilt
The little letters dance across the page,
Tobacco smoke drifts up to the dim ceiling
I lie stretched out upon the window-seat
"The College will reopen Sept. --." `Catalogue'.
The little man with the vague beard and guise
And so, to you, who always were
Soup should be heralded with a mellow horn,
For G. H.
Here, where men's eyes were empty and as bright
The boat ploughed on. Now Alcatraz was past
There were not many at that lonely place,
There is darkness behind the light -- and the pale light drips
My friend went to the piano; spun the stool
Perhaps we go with wind and cloud and sun,
Well, I was tired of life; the silly folk,
He lay within a warm, soft world
After the whipping he crawled into bed,
The last pose flickered, failed. The screen's dead white
I shall go away
It was not when temptation came,
The grey gulls drift across the bay
"Oh yes, I went over to Edmonstoun the other day and saw Johnny, mooning around as usual! He will never make his way."
Gods, what a black, fierce day! The clouds were iron,

Eternally the choking steam goes up
Black trees against an orange sky,

If you normally commute down from Pike's Peak to Colorado Springs, then you should be nervous. Otherwise, no, it's pretty rare to fill up the battery. It's sized so this won't happen often. Otherwise you would waste any further regenerative braking opportunities until you had a chance to use up the energy in the battery to make room for more.
Strangely enough, I have never been to Pikes Peak -- even though I have driven cross country 5 times.
But anyway, never full though? What you say, makes sense, have enough capacity to capture all the "free" energy you can. No use creating it, and not being able to store it. But conversly, if in 1000 miles, I never see it at all -- wouldn't that mean I am carrying excess capacity? and thus extra weight?? Obviously it is one of many lines the engineers had to draw, and I don't mean to bash it, just explore it.
I have really tried to hit the full mark. Even shifting to 'B' when going down hill as much as possible. Setting the cruise control for just the right speed so the engine is running and charging. Just to see it get full. Just for Ha Ha's; can't do it.
Toyota managed to accomplish a 100,000-mile guarantee (and a 200K or 250K expectation) out of NiMH batteries by writing a computer program that would hold the battery between about 25% (?) and 80% (?) of its capacity. The battery will NEVER be full, and barring a failure of the ICE will never be empty.
The battery indicator you see on the MFD only covers the above range, so if you did see 8 bars full, your battery would still be only at about 80% (?) of capacity. And the computer even tries to avoid those extremes. The reason you almost never see 8 bars is that the computer is working very hard to hold it below that.
The extra weight you are carrying by having too big a battery is the reason you probably will never have to replace the battery in the life of the car. Full charging and deep discharging shortens the life of NiMH.
If you've only got 900 miles on your Prius, I'm pretty sure it wasn't the car you took cross country 5 times.
Anyway, you haven't described the area you normally drive in. If it's mostly flat, you aren't the customer that Toyota drew the line for. You might be carrying excess capacity for you, but that same capacity might not be sufficient for other customers. Toyota only makes one model so far, so it has to be "one size fits all" even if its a bit baggy on some and a bit binding on others.
To once again answer the question: No, you should not be nervous that you haven't seen a full battery meter. After 88K miles, I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've seen it. The Prius battery control system tries to move toward ~60% full whenever it can reasonably do so. The farther away it is, the harder it tries.
Hrm. I've seen mine at 'full' (and noticed it use engine braking while coasting because it won't regenerate any more,) a few times, mostly after coming down a couple local long freeway hills that you can coast down and hold an even 60 mph without touching the gas or brake. I've only seen it down to one bar once, and that was when I sat in a parking lot with the A/C and radio running for a long time, eating lunch. | <urn:uuid:d42d1970-65e8-406c-902f-dfb152e39d8e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.priusonline.com/threads/full.12514/ | 2020-09-18T19:26:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.968874 | 739 |
It was August 24, 1880 when 23-year-year old bargeman Thomas Ames stood on the bank of a lock and watched a nine-year-old boy sink into the dark waters.
Albert Edward Miles had climbed down the lock gates of the Kennet and Avon canal at Widcombe to do some fishing, but as he tried to make his way back up again, he slipped and fell into the lock.
Ames stood at the canal side watching as Albert - who was unable to swim - struggled to keep his head above water.
As horrified bystanders urged the older man to dive in and save him, he simply responded: "Let the little bastard get out the best way he can."
It was down to two boys - 13-year-old Edward Vowles and 17-year-old Francis Hillier to strip off their jackets and throw themselves into the water after him.
They managed to grab the terrified child, and swam back to the lock gates, shouting for Ames to pull them up.
Instead, he took a winch and deliberately opened the hatches, flooding the lock with water. A woman begged him to stop, telling him: "Good God! Don't let the water in, or you will drown the lot of them!"
Astonishingly, Ames simply laughed at her, and continued to open the hatches.
The resulting flood of water washed Albert from the hands of his rescuers. While Vowles and Hillier managed to climb out of the water, Albert had no chance of survival, and drowned.
As the case came to court in November that year, Ames' barrister claimed the bargeman had done nothing unlawful and had performed no act that would not have been proper if the boys had not been in the lock.
A jury eventually returned a verdict of manslaughter and Ames was sentenced to seven years imprisonment.
As for Vowles and Hillier, they were commended for their bravery and a collection was taken up in their honour. | <urn:uuid:9df04164-c3e3-4d13-adfc-1ee5e13d55c3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/somerset-news/brutal-bath-death-albert-miles-1363693 | 2020-09-18T20:25:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.98588 | 411 |
What level of pain are patients happy to live with after surgery for lumbar degenerative disorders?
This study by Fekete et al, which has been approved for publication in The Spine Journal, provided an alternative approach to evaluating clinical outcomes in patients with degenerative lumbar disorders.
The study population was derived from a spine surgery outcomes database and EUROSPINE Spine Tango Registry. Over 6900 patients in the database met the inclusion criteria of which 6467 completed the baseline questionnaire. The Core Outcomes Measure Index (COMI) questionnaire was used by the investigators to evaluate back and leg pain, level of function, symptom-specific well-being (5 point scale), quality of life, and level of disability. Utilizing the question of “if you had to spend the rest of your life with symptoms you now have, how would you feel about it?” the authors used the top two potential responses (very satisfied or satisfied) to serve as proxy for an acceptable state of recovery.
Using this criteria, the cut-off score for indicating a satisfactory symptom state post-recovery was found to be less than or equal to 2 (on a 0 to 10 scale) for those with a lumbar disc herniation, and less than or equal to 3 for those treated for spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, deformity, or degenerative disc disease. This outcome was defined at 12 months postoperatively. It is unclear how the recorded diagnosis was determined and how patients were classified if they had more than one diagnosis (ie disc herniation and spondylolisthesis)?
In this study, 47% of patients reported an acceptable symptom state following lumbar spine surgery using the aforementioned criteria. The authors do make the valid point that those with pathology such as a herniated disc may be less accepting of any residual pain and expect complete relief moreso than those with other degenerative conditions of longer duration. There are varying explanations to account for this.
So how do we define success for those who undergo lumbar spinal surgery? As pointed out by Fekete, “the success of treatment should be measured in relation to its goals.” To patients, pain relief is one of the most important factors, if not the primary factor in determining outcome. Defining the level of pain that is considered acceptable, is very challenging, but is important if we wish really define surgical success.
As this was a cross-sectional study, there are inherent limitations present. Pain perception is highly subjective. There are many factors including psychosocial and other medical comorbities which can influence pain scores. The potential for secondary gain was not evaluated in this study, but certainly would affect point estimates of success in certain populations. While the results of this interesting study present a different approach to determining success, generalizability of the results are significantly limited due to study design and the potential for differences in cultural factors such as pain perception (Swiss population studied). | <urn:uuid:6459289e-c792-41fe-b2e1-85dfac1f1ccd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.spineopedia.com/article/what-level-of-pain-are-patients-happy-to-live-with-after-surgery-for-lumbar-degenerative-disorders/ | 2020-09-18T19:45:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.950151 | 614 |
Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, has reiterated that he has no hard feelings with Arsenal defender, David Luiz, ahead of both team's Premier League fixture on Sunday.
Lampard, who played alongside Luiz at Chelsea, said that he will 'always respect' the Brazilian, adding that his switch from Stamford Bridge to Arsenal was purely a football decision.
"There are decisions you have to make and it was just a decision that was made," Lampard told Chelsea's official website.
"While I'm here, I'll be making countless more of those in different ways so that's just what it is. I don't want to talk too much going into a game against a player [David Luiz] who I respect and played with.
"If you look at our defenders and the emergence of [Fikayo] Tomori, that's obviously been a big plus for us but I certainly wished David well when he left.
"He was part of a Champions League-winning team, he played with half a hamstring in that final and he got himself fit when he was under pressure with the injury so I will always respect that." | <urn:uuid:59a119d1-b047-479a-ae80-1cf085683a85> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thenetnaija.com/forum/news/sports/72642-arsenal-chelsea-lampard-sends-message-david-luiz | 2020-09-18T21:24:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.990839 | 235 |
The antiretroviral drug, Truvada, has been linked to the demineralization of bone and other bone-related complications in patients that are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It is alleged that this medication has been linked to at least 6,000 bone breaks and thousands of instances of bone-related health complications.
Truvada, a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medication created by Gilead Sciences Inc., is under fire because of the dangerous side effects and injuries it has been linked to. Now, users across America are gearing up to file product liability claims, stating that the pharmaceutical company has known for over a decade about the dangers of the drug.

Our team has years of experience successfully handling product liability claims, serving justice to negligent pharmaceutical companies, and helping to secure our clients maximum compensation for the damages they have suffered.
If you or someone you love has suffered from bone-related diseases or demineralization and are currently taking Truvada, you may be eligible to file a product liability claim. Speak with one of our Truvada lawsuit attorneys today at (409) 763-3260.
What is Truvada?
Truvada is comprised of two main medicines called emtricitabine (FTC) and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). It is used to treat patients suffering from HIV, and it can also protect people that haven’t contracted the virus but face a high risk of being infected due to their own personal circumstances.
Since the FCT and TDF in Truvada reduce the activity of the enzyme reverse transcriptase — which is an enzyme that HIV uses to create more infected cells — the replication of the virus is greatly reduced or can even stop. This medication was a success, earning Gilead $11 billion in profits annually; a modern-day success story as far as pharmaceutical companies go.
That is if it weren’t for the fact that the pharmaceutical company not only withheld crucial details about the bone complications and side effects that could arise but also withheld a safer alternative that used smaller dosages of tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) instead of TDF, negating the dangers of use.
As a result of the damages they have suffered, users are seeking out legal counseling to fight against this corporation that did them wrong. If you are taking Truvada and are experiencing bone-related complications, then you should too. You do NOT deserve to be taken advantage of by the developers of this HIV drug.

About Bone Loss
Bones are made primarily from collagen protein, calcium phosphate, and calcium carbonate. These minerals work in unison to strengthen the bone while providing a certain level of flexibility. During an individual’s lifetime, old bone is broken down in a process known as resorption while new bone is added in a process call formation.
However, when bone is broken down at a faster rate than it is created, bone loss begins to occur. There are a number of factors that can affect bone loss. Some of these factors are within our own control while others are not.
Factors can include:
- Physical activity
- Genetics and family medical history
- Illness such as osteoporosis, arthritis, asthma, Chron’s disease, and lupus
- Low testosterone levels
- Use of medications such as Truvada
While women are generally at a greater risk of bone loss, especially after menopause, men can also begin to suffer significant amounts of bone loss after the age of 65.
Despite the natural causes of bone loss, there are still a number of steps that individuals can take to limit how much they suffer from it. Some lifestyle changes that can be made to improve your bone health include:
- Having a balanced diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables, protein, starchy foods, and dairy products.
- A diet that includes foods rich in calcium such as dairy products, leafy green vegetables, nuts, and tinned oily fish.
- A diet high in vitamin D is also very important. Vitamin D can come directly through exposure to sunlight but can also be found in fortified dairy products, egg yolks, saltwater fish, and liver.
- Physical activity helps to increase bone strength and density. Some of the best exercises include walking, hiking, jogging, climbing stairs, and other similar weight-bearing exercises.
- Quitting smoking can play a fundamental role in limiting bone loss. Men and women who smoke may not absorb as much calcium from their diets and thus suffer from higher rates of bone loss.
- Limiting alcohol intake is another important step to limit bone loss.
Truvada and the Demineralization of Bone
Demineralization of bone is defined as a decrease in, loss of, or removal of mineral components found in bone. Many things can cause bone demineralization. In the case of Truvada, the TDF component has been linked to a decrease in bone mineral density that can cause a myriad of bone diseases. As we age, our bodies tend to lose bone mass and density. This is often the result of a loss of calcium, phosphate, and other minerals.
The TDF component found in Truvada is believed to exacerbate these effects, causing bones to become brittle and easily broken. While Truvada is one of the main culprits of developing particular bone diseases, other drugs that contain TDF may also play a factor in the degradation of your bones, loss of teeth, and fractures. Take a look in your medicine cabinet for any of the following that may contain TDF:
- Symfi Lo
- AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Kaletra
- AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Viracept
Unfortunately, a decrease in bone mineral density is a condition that often goes unnoticed as it presents no symptoms early on. In time, if no preventative measures are taken, demineralized bones can lead to:
- Discomfort in extremities
- Decreased bone mineral density
- Bone deterioration or osteoporosis
- Bone loss or osteopenia
- Dental complications (e.g. tooth decay and loss)
- Bone fractures
Once set, bone complications like osteoporosis are often seen in the wrists, spine, and hips. If this resonates with anything that you may be experiencing at the moment and you suspect it stems from the TDF-based medication you are taking, seek out medical attention immediately.
You should not have to suffer from broken bones as a result of taking Truvada. Contact the Truvada lawsuit attorneys of The Law Offices of A. Craig Eiland, PC at (409) 763-3260 to schedule your FREE legal consultation today.
What You Should Do After Suffering a Bone-Related Injury Caused by Truvada
If you are taking Truvada to manage your HIV or to limit your risk of developing it, and you are experiencing bone demineralization or suffering from the effects of osteoporosis, you must seek out medical attention immediately. Bone loss detection is an important step to treat the issue at hand. Bone mineral density tests can be taken to measure the solidness and mass of common sites where fractures tend to occur. These tests are painless and noninvasive.
If your medical provider establishes that you are suffering from bone demineralization or bone loss, then do NOT hesitate to contact the Truvada broken bones lawyers of The Law Offices of A. Craig Eiland, PC to help you better understand your legal options. We can help you start the process of filing a claim and can begin to work together with you to develop the strongest case possible.
Determining Liability in a Pharmaceutical Defect Claim
An experienced product liability attorney must determine if the pharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences Inc. is liable for the side effects or injury you have suffered. In order to do this, your Truvada attorney must identify what type of product liability claim applies to your specific situation.
There are generally three “types” of product liability claims:
- Strict Liability – Focuses on or searches for negligent actions taken by manufacturers, suppliers, or by the company itself in creating a defective product.
- Negligence – Focuses on how or if the company provided adequate or reasonable care in the designing, manufacturing, or marketing processes relating to the defective product.
- Breach of Warranty – Focuses on the warranty of the defective product, whether it was written or implied, and how the defective product didn’t work as intended, causing harm to the person using it.
In accordance with liability determination and Truvada, a lawyer must build the connection between how Gilead put their patients at risk, and how that ultimately led to the user’s bone demineralization or bone loss.
This process can be time-consuming without all of the proper facts and details in order, so be sure that you are completely open with your product liability attorney as it can affect how much compensation you may be eligible for. Luckily, our experienced product liability lawyers from The Law Offices of A. Craig Eiland, PC have the experience and skill set to make this process as efficient as possible.

Shortly before the election my Grandmother, who is the most ardent Hillary supporter I know, wrote me and asked if I could help explain Trump's popularity. She just couldn't understand it. Here was my letter in response:
Somehow I think the anger that manifested itself in Trump's campaign is related to the deep feelings of unfairness that manifested itself in the Occupy movement of 2011. It's why Bernie mounted such a strong challenge despite seeming like a kooky professor.
People are angry. Inequality and the growing divide has a lot to do with it. I'm not entirely sure that's everything though. I think some of it has to do with the loss of faith in a state that provides and supports for its citizens. This doesn't exist any longer in the US. The most "patriotic" people are also those that detest the US Government.
I think some of it has to do with the sterilization and alienation inherent to a society that has allowed corporate interests to grow virtually unchecked while defunding governments and local communities.
I'd also likely to touch on technology, which on one hand has been an unbelievable boost to productivity and is facilitating some wonderful things in terms of connectivity (I'm emailing you!). It's been a huge boon to society in many ways but we always have to be conscious about how we use the tools available to us. Because on the other hand technology and in particular cellular infrastructure has allowed companies to scale at an absolutely unprecedented speed.
I know about these business because it's my job to invest in them, and I know that software companies will enter every aspect of our society. While I believe in the power of capitalism to allocate resources more or less efficiently, history is rife with examples of where we need strong and clear-minded governments to help us steer the boat, to ensure that externalities like pollution are priced in, to ensure that people are not priced out of the basic goods, services and opportunities they should be afforded as human beings. In the long run it is about the governments ability to regulate these businesses fairly and ensure that the gains are accruing to all stakeholders. To founders, investors, employees, and back again to society (taxes).
The truth is, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics, fewer and fewer people are equipped with the requisite skills to work competitively in today's economy. On one hand, economists have argued that technological improvements historically haven't increased joblessness but instead changed the nature of the jobs we do (we become "machine managers"). There has also been a boosted demand effect that increases the volume of goods at equilibrium and thus stems job loss. I find these analyses short sighted because they miss the point that in an absolute sense machines are approaching the computing power of the human brain and the capacity for us to differentiate ourselves vs machines is undoubtedly shrinking.
So, in my and many other's view a Universal Basic Income (UBI) of some fashion will be necessary in the medium term. We have to do a better job of ensuring that everyone, across red states and blue, and not just coastal technologists or investors, are participating in the promise of tomorrow. Despite it's reputation a UBI could actually do much to foster a greater sense of fairness across our society, to ensure that everyone is equipped with the positive rights of education and opportunity and the right to live above poverty. The problem is that with the leaders we have now elected it will be likely impossible in the current environment of Fear and Others politics. The forces that have driven many people to such a feeling of displacement within their own society are only accelerating. Unless those of us who are lucky and well-off stop and think about how to reshape our society to make it fundamentally more fair, the discord and divide between red and blue, black and white, young and old, urban and rural, and between rich and poor, is only going to widen.

It’s Thursday again. 11 am appointment time with my Psychotherapist. Not a minute too soon. Last spoke to her for a telephone consultation on Tuesday night. That just about got me through to this appointment.
We processed the forty-eight hours in between. The flashbacks, the nightmares and how they ratcheted up my suicidality. My Mother alter (Dissociative Identity Disorder) was rabbiting away in my brain and I was switching quickly between the various alters making life very chaotic at home and difficult for my husband.
We were using various safety strategies to ensure no cutting took place and it had worked a treat. The cutting had been taking place at night using hidden blades that only my Mother knew where they were. It involved wearing stretch bandages, wrapped in duct tape. I did try and take it off in my sleep but my husband could wake me up and stop me. I had told my Therapist at the last session there were no more razor blades and this appeared to be the case which was a huge relief to everyone. My Mother was hatching other plans however but wouldn’t let me tell the Therapist what they were.
We commenced EMDR after talking for an hour and I immediately became upset and distressed re-experiencing a past event. The effects of EMDR happen very quickly with me, taking me to a past occurrence swiftly. It was an event that we had been working on for some time and I was increasingly finding it hard to tolerate. It involved the abuse of another child not myself. Other children were brought from the local Industrial Boarding School to the room for the men. It was a highly organised paedophile ring involving local Police, Clergy and Politicians. During the Summer visitors came from England and moored their yachts in the Harbour. I recall being taken out to one such yacht that had a wooden fish mounted on a plaque on the wall. Strange the things and details you recall.
It distressed me enormously re-living what this child was going through but it helped enormously after the EMDR processing the event and sharing it with the Therapist. She went to great pains to assure me that there was nothing I could have done to have prevented it or stopped it, as I was only a child myself. She always worked hard to try to encourage me to divulge myself of any shame, guilt or self-blame for what had happened to me. We were slowly processing each event in this manner and with fourteen years to deal with it was taking quite some time. Being chronically suicidal and having Dissociative Identity Disorder muddied the waters considerably as the alters interfered with therapy and often worked against the Therapist. Her expertise in the area allowed her to work with both the Complex PTSD, Sexual Abuse and DID and make progress. I was truly lucky to have been referred to her.
I would encourage any sexual abuse victim to consider EMDR but it is vital that you process what comes up under the treatment. It is to difficult to process it on your own and without the expertise of a Psychotherapist. | <urn:uuid:7ce410f2-40bc-4c22-bb28-10735476354b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://youwillbearwitness.com/2017/08/04/its-thursday-again/ | 2020-09-18T21:17:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400188841.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918190514-20200918220514-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.989199 | 630 |

If you won the lottery, what would you do today? How differently would you live your life?
There are the material things of course. You might spring for a wardrobe do-over, a new car or a long-dreamed-of holiday. You could finally pay off your debt and call the architect about your dream house. But when it comes to your every day living, what would you change?
Would you quit your job? Start a business? Stay home with your kids? Launch a non-profit? Do more yoga?
I ask myself this question because it helps me see if I’m really, truly, honestly following my heart as I go about my day.
If you take the financial pressure off, even for 5 minutes, even if it’s only in your mind, what information does that give you?
There will always be things that we have to do and the chances of any of us winning millions in the lottery are slim, but the answers that come when we ask this question are their own version of gold.
If you’re brave enough to ask the question, what one simple, tiny thing can you do this week to live into the answer?
The lottery might be out of reach but your dreams don’t have to be.

Lindy Loo Classic 2017
On Sunday March 19th, The Lindy Loo Foundation (LLF) hosted its 5th annual Lindy Loo Classic at its new location, AMF Lanes in Syosset, NY. The event was a huge success, raising over $75,000 through ticket sales, raffles, and donations from very generous friends and donors.
One of the most exciting advancements for the Lindy Loo Foundation has been our ability to contribute significant funding to capital projects developed by organizations such as The School for Language & Communication Development (SLCD). This organization reached out to the LLF via a grant request. With funds raised during our 2017 campaign the Foundation was able to provide 50% of the cost of filling in an unusable pool and creating a basketball court for one of the group homes SLCD oversees. We were also able to contribute funds to help programs such as Dancing Dreams, various local Challenger leagues, and Music 4 Autism continue their programs for mentally and physically challenged children and adults. The Lindy Loo Foundation remains committed to our mission of raising funds to help support social programs on Long Island and in the greater New York City area for those living with disabilities.
Thanks to our friends, family, and donors our mission is a continued success.

This week a friend invited me to a group for writers. I’d previously considered attending a writers’ group, but never got up the gumption to go. It takes so much effort to go out in the evenings– apart from the one evening a week when I teach Yoga classes, which is now part of the family’s ingrained routines. Cue the detailed logistical acrobatics required when mama wants an evening out.
On Monday night I changed into my pajamas and lay down beside my youngest child to help him drop off to sleep. Once he was safely snoozing, I changed back into my clothes. If my little one had known that I was going out, the process of getting him off to sleep would have taken hours longer. I once made the mistake of lying down with him while wearing a necklace and earrings. He figured out pretty quickly that I would be going out: “Mummy, why are you wearing earrings?” That was the night I ran up the steps at the opera house, like Cinderella in reverse, racing to get into the hall before they hermetically sealed the doors, never to be opened again until the interval. I just about got there and got a workout.
Turns out writers’ group was worth the effort. It lasted about two hours and during the twenty minute writing session I jotted the following poem into my journal. Our theme was collection/obsession. I even read the poem to the 20 or so assembled people there, without being sick all over my shoes. Go me.
I hope it resonates with you. I might even go back to the group.
I am running out of places to keep it.
The locks of hair
jagged white teeth
impossibly small bracelets
leather shoes with footprints on the soles
Bits of paper with drawings:
faces with arms for ears and stick legs that poke out from the chin
triangles atop squares; a scribble that means home.
The accumulated detritus of being.
As if memories could be stored, flattened and catalogued,
arranged neatly within Swedish furniture,
or, usually, not-so-neatly in dust-covered boxes beneath the bed.
One day, someday, on an archaeological dig,
they will chip away the dirt,
brush away the dust
and find this.
Evidence of the mundane
Physical evidence of a normal life,
the sum total of my motherhood, as defined by me.
I hoard every memory:
first word/swear word
The minutae of a family’s life, captured and hidden,
Til one day, little hands uncover the hoard.
(Not Roman coins, but treasure nonetheless.)
She asks, “What’s this?”
And like a criminal caught in the act, I mumble,

About the Foundation
Supporting others in the surfboard industry
Who we are
And what we do
Life in the surfboard manufacturing industry can be unpredictable, even during the best of times. It is the desire of the Sport of Kings Foundation to provide help, support and give compassionate care to industry members in need. The intention of the Sport of Kings Foundation is to provide social and community services including the following:
- Confidential advice and counseling
- Referrals to needed community resources
- Temporary emergency financial assistance for eligible industry member
What Types of Financial Assistance Are Offered?
- Emergency financial assistance is available for qualifying surfboard industry members who experience financial hardship due to illness, disability, unemployment or other reasons.
- Limited assistance is available to those who have modest or unavailable resources. Assistance is given in the form of payment towards living expenses, food and/or housing expenses.
A legacy is born.
How the Foundation was started
In April of 2012 a group of surfers, surfboard builders and surf industry folks witnessed Terry Martin, one of our own, as he struggled with the ravages of a catastrophic illness, Melanoma. Although, we wanted to provide monetary support to help Terry and his family with his medical bills and life needs in a charitable and dignified way, we were unable to find any avenue; be it his church, an existing non-profit or any other organization, that could allow restricted donations to directly provide assistance to Terry or his family during this difficult time.
It was through Terry’s illness and resulting death that the Sport of Kings Foundation was formed and today serves as his legacy. The Sport of Kings Foundation is an additional avenue of support to others in the surfboard building industry within California that may find themselves in similar devastating situations. Terry Martin’s family was the first grant recipient from our newly formed, Sport of Kings Foundation, and all future non-repayable financial aid grants will be gifted from “The Terry Martin Grant Fund” to remind us and others of Terry’s indomitable spirit and legacy.
How you can help
There are several ways for you to be involved including:
- Donating your time and energy in furthering our cause as a Board member

The Art of Zhen Shan Ren International Exhibition was held in Japan's Hiroshima Prefecture Cultural Center on October 6th-10th and Hatsukaichi Art Gallery on November 7th-11th, 2012. Presenting the story of Falun Gong, a spiritual discipline based on the principles of Truthfulness (Zhen), Compassion (Shan), and Tolerance (Ren), the exhibition has been viewed in over 500 cities around the world since 2004.
Despite millions of people benefitting physically and mentally from practising Falun Gong, the Chinese Communist regime launched a brutal campaign to eradicate the practice in 1999. The persecution is still continuing today.
“Hiroshima people promote peace, but know little about the brutal persecution in China. Each one of us must become a live, mobile media, spreading the news about the persecution of Falun Gong, not only for the sake of those imprisoned for their faith, but also for our families and friends,” said Mr. Ishibashi, a Hiroshima Prefecture council member, at the opening ceremony of the exhibition in the Hiroshima Prefecture Cultural Center.

Regarding one of the paintings, the chairman of the Hiroshima Art Salon said: “After seeing the eyes of the mother who lost her son [due to the persecution], I cannot just ignore the injustice that I see; I have to stand up for what is right.” He added: “I then looked at the painting Moving Universe, which made me feel as if I was standing between Heaven and Earth. Everything in the painting is changing and moving forward. I felt as if he is creating the future for mankind.”
Another guest echoed the sentiment. “I think he is creating the future,” she said after viewing the Moving Universe.
|After viewing the painting Moving Universe, the lady said, “I think he is creating the future.”|
One attendee brought his whole family to the exhibit, after first seeing it himself.
Another, from Hatsukaichi City, said: “When I saw these paintings, I was very surprised. This issue is so big, and we know so little about it. I will tell my children and others to come to see the exhibition. I hope that you can keep up the good work.”
|An attendee signs the guest book|
Some people signed the guest book to express their thoughts and feelings about the paintings, and some also signed a petition calling for the end of the persecution of Falun Gong in China.

They have hollow stems, flat leaves and produce multiple seeds from complex flower heads. Both are cereal crops commonly cultivated for their grains, but have also gained popularity as health foods in their young grass forms.
They both provide excellent variety of vitamins and nutrients, reduce inflammation and help to maintain body alkalinity.
Since they appear to be so similar, one must wonder if they can be used interchangeably. The differences are subtle, but they do exist.
The first difference, of course, is the taste. Wheatgrass has a sweet taste, while barley is a bit more bitter. Obviously, this distinction is a matter of, well, taste.
However, if you don't care for wheat grass, barley grass confers similar benefits, while maintaining its own unique flavor.
In either case, you're still drinking grass juice.
Barley grass contains beta-sitosterol, a phytosterol which has a similar structure to cholesterol found in the human body.
Beta-sitosterol will actually replace some cholesterol during digestion, which lowers bad and total cholesterol. It does not, however, raise good cholesterol.
Additional scientific research has found beta-sitosterol may provide symptom relief to those who are having trouble urinating due to an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). Beta-sitosterol, though, does not, in any way, shrink the prostate.
Barley Grass Is Grown Outdoors (Usually), Wheat Grass Is Grown Indoors (Usually)
Most wheat grass is grown indoors and hydroponically. Barley grass tends to be grown outdoors.
There are advantages to growing crops indoors. It saves water, money, time and work. But these are all advantages for the farmer, not the consumer.
Growers also have more control over their plants when they are grown indoors, which can be an advantage in the hands of a skilled botanist. Hydroponic crops can achieve greater growth rates and yields. However, this does not necessarily increase the nutritional value of the plant.
Furthermore, plants grown indoors are more susceptible to salmonella and pathogens.
Growing plants outdoors does affect their nutritional value. Nutrients from the soil add to the nutritional makeup of the plant.
Dietary nitrate, for example, comes from the nitrogen in the soil. Soil with poor nitrogen content yield plants with less dietary nitrate. Hydroponic farmers have to add those nutrients themselves.
In most cases, hydroponically grown plants tend to have similar nutritional values. But a 2003 study, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, found there were fewer carotenoids (like beta-carotene, lutein) in hydroponically grown vegetables. So there is evidence hydroponic farmers may not be able to completely recreate the nutritional profile of a soil-grown plant.
Finally, and most importantly, plants grown outdoors are grown under some degree of stress. This might seem like a negative, but when plants are exposed to stress, they produce more antioxidants. Those antioxidants are sent, first and foremost, to the leaves of the plant.
In fact, a 2004 study (Czech University of Agriculture) on barley leaves specifically repeats this data. The researchers found barley plants exposed to cadmium produced significantly more antioxidants to protect themselves.
Plants not only produce more antioxidants when exposed to transition metals, they also produce antioxidants when exposed to any number of stressors, such as UV rays, weather, wind, and water.
Basically, plants use the antioxidants to protect itself. When consumed, those benefits are passed on to the consumer.
Plants grown indoors are subjected to little stress and likely have fewer antioxidant properties because of it. | <urn:uuid:00054789-3d9d-4b6c-89a0-084fcf59941c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.doyoubelievenutritionmatters.com/2017/07/wheat-grass-barley-grass-differences.html | 2020-09-20T05:06:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.933439 | 765 |
Jean Shepherd was listed as one of the 'celebrety entertainment' along with astronaut Capt James Lovell, and The Four Tops.
This may have been one of several times he spoke at this annual event. Shep fan Greg Matoska recalls seeing him as late as 1996 or 1997 where he told stories of school experiences. His health was failing and he relied on a cane.

It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975 | <urn:uuid:9e79b73b-920e-439c-9aac-50a0a8c53ac3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.flicklives.com/index.php?pg=215&recno=4212 | 2020-09-20T04:55:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.970496 | 133 |
Thoughts on Marjorie Jolidon by Kari Miller Magg, Sub-Dean
As a relative newcomer to the Hartford musical scene, I never had the pleasure of knowing Marjorie Jolidon. She was a Hartford native and lived most of her life here. She was an educated and involved musician who touched the lives of many. She was a music teacher, inspiring high school students in Suffield and in Bloomfield, where she taught for 30 years. She was organist at Church of the Good Shepherd, Blue Hills Baptist, Asylum Avenue Baptist and Memorial Baptist and substitute organist at the Broadview Community Church in Hartford. She was a member of our chapter of the AGO and past president of the Hartford Musical Club.
I wish I had known her, if only so that I could have a picture of her in my mind as I say to her, Thank-you, Marjorie, thank-you! For, in case you have not yet heard, Marjorie Jolidon died peacefully last August at the age of 94 and in her will was a bequest to the Greater Hartford Chapter of the AGO for $400,000. Unimaginable, out-of-the-blue, life-changing and totally wonderful!
In the months and years ahead, our chapter will grapple with the lovely ‘problem’ of how to use her gift in a way that honors her life and love of music, her generosity and grace. I know that I will have many more occasions to stop, shake my head in amazement and say, Thank-you, Marjorie, Thank-you! | <urn:uuid:bece6087-0670-43cf-bdde-6c5778b6cde1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.hartfordago.org/2013/09/thoughts-on-marjorie-joliden/ | 2020-09-20T03:39:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.980636 | 334 |
