This is a meme from The Broke and the Bookish. For info about the topics and how to participate, click here.I don’t really do resolutions often, but I did come up with some interesting ones, and since I just finished writing my 2013 End of Year Book Survey, I’d like some things to report back on next year. So heeeeere we go.
1. Branch out and try new genres.
Last year, for the first time, I strayed from my regular fantasy/science-fiction/dystopia genres, and I read a lot of contemporaries. It was a huge success. Before I honestly thought contemporary wasn’t really for me, but I have been proven wrong. This year, I hope to try out historical fiction.
2. Finish series.
I hate that I have so many series on my TBR list. Some I’ve started but just dropped. I need to decide to go for it and finish it or just scratch it off the list. Some series that I hope to finish: Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, The Grisha by Leigh Bardugo, Pivot Point by Kasie West, Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld, Graceling by Kristin Cashore, Fairyland by Catherynne M. Valente, and Covenant by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I’m screwed because I have so many firsts in series on my shelves seducing me. I don’t want to have too many series at the same time.
3. Try a new book format: audiobooks.
I hear Christina talk all the time about how awesome audiobooks are, so I really want to try it out this year. I have no clue how it’ll go, since I easily tune out to things I’m listening to and I’m scared I’ll miss things that way…. but we’ll see.
4. Read more classics.
I have a kind of unwritten goal to each year read at least 1 classic. I failed in 2013. So I’m writing it down this time, and with book club having a special “classics month”, I should definitely be able to deliver on this.
5. Try more adult books.
I stick way too close to young adult, I find. After a while it just gets exhausting. Because I’m like, “Whee, another love triangle.” Not that all of YA is like that. But I should give adult books a shot.
6. Write reviews right after finishing the book.
The past few months I’ve been struggling with blogging because I just didn’t feel like writing reviews, then when I sat down to do it, I immediately had to write three or four in a row… It made it become a chore, and I didn’t remember too well what I wanted to say. NO MORE. Just take that half hour to write the review the same day. It’s really not that bad.
7. Go to BEA.
Okay, now I’m making it official. *exhales* I’m planning on going to BEA this year. I have budget. I have a place to stay. I have vacation days. I just need to clear it with work and book my plane ticket. Which I should be doing soon. *braces self for comment explosion*
8. Finish reformatting all posts.
Honestly, it will be a sigh of relief. I’m too OCD to leave even a single post in the ugly post-Blogger-Wordpress-move form. Also: a complete review archive. *sobs* The day I finish this, there will be a crazy dance party.
9. Find the right co-blogger/guest reviewer.
I see more and more people pop up with their co-bloggers and… well, it gets lonely. Also it would be less stressful. But I don’t want to just add anyone. I’m picky. So this is a conundrum. But I have an application page, so who knows.
10. NON-BOOKISH: Finish my thesis and graduate.

Robert Richardson (1806-1876) urged Christians to understand spirituality as the mean between emotionalism and rationalism. This forced him into a debate concerning the Holy Spirit, first with Tolbert Fanning, and then briefly with Alexander Campbell himself. Richardsons call still resonates: devotion must go deeper than external conformity while avoiding spiritualisms excesses. | <urn:uuid:be8a7c99-de83-4dbd-826c-ad101f8dabe5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.stone-campbelljournal.com/the_journal/research/volume-1-issue-2/10201/ | 2020-09-20T04:17:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.919612 | 84 |

Obama...projected his goals in his book The Audacity of Hope. In Audacity, he discussed how in 2002 he was going to give politics one more shot with a Senate campaign, and if that didn’t work, he was going into corporate law and getting wealthy like the rest of his peer group. He wrote about how passionate activists were too simple-minded, that the system basically worked, and that compromise was a virtue in and of itself in a world of uncertainty. His book was a book about a fundamentally conservative political creature obsessed with process, not someone grounded in the problems of ordinary people. He told us what his leadership style is, what his agenda was, and he’s executing it now.
The news that Elizabeth Warren won’t be leading the CFPB isn’t good news, but it isn’t surprising. ...I suspect it could be tough for her to run for the Senate in a party in which the party leader has already shown he simply cuts against your core beliefs; inherently a Senate Democratic candidate will have to defend the administration’s record of the last few years. Regardless, I hope she continues to project her views widely in the broadest platform possible.
Obama has constructed a Presidency around the glory of radicalism through inaction, and has dominated our politics so thoroughly it’s hard to recall any other mechanisms of governance. Still, It is important to remember what real leadership can look like, which is why Elizabeth Warren can be a pivotal figure. After all, we may need real leaders one day.

Sacred geography – Picts – Round tower 02
Type of Spiritual Experience
A description of the experience
Brechin is a town and former royal burgh in Angus, Scotland. On the outskirts of Brechin, beside the A90 dual carriageway which bypassed it in 1976, is [or was] the Pictavia Visitors Centre (covering Pictish culture and displaying several carved stones)
The town is well known for its cathedral, which has within its grounds a round tower, one of only two of these monuments surviving in Scotland (the other is at Abernethy, Perthshire). The tower was originally free-standing, but is now incorporated in the framework of the cathedral, it thus precedes the cathedral in date.
The Irish round towers were constructed by monks towards the end of the great period of monastic expansion, between the fifth and the seventh centuries. When they were built they would have been the only stone structures in the monastery. Today 25 or more towers stand upright in perfect form, and the remains, or stubs, of another 43 dot the countryside. Thus there is the real possibility that this round tower is a great deal older than the local inhabitants realise. This view is reinforced by the fact that the so-called 'Brechin hogback stone', found in the churchyard, combines Celtic/Pictish and Scandinavian motifs, and is the most complex known stone sculpture in the Ringerike style in Scotland.
The tower is 86 ft.(26.21 m) high, has at the base a circumference of 50 ft.(15.3 m) and a diameter of 16 ft.(4.9 m), and is capped with a hexagonal spire of 18 ft.(5.5 m), added in the 14th century. The importance of the tower to the culture that built it can be judged by the quality of the masonry, which is superior to all but a very few of the Irish examples. The narrow single doorway, raised some feet above ground level in a manner common in these buildings, is also exceptionally fine. The door-surround is enriched with two bands of pellets, and the monolithic arch has a well-preserved representation of a cross. The slightly splayed sides of the doorway (also monolithic) have sculptures too eroded to make them generally capable of interpretation.
We do not know whether Brechin was a tower used with sound, or to generate sound or to concentrate existing energy.
Round towers in general may be found on telluric hot spots or they use the sun and cosmic radiation instead of sound. Professor Callahan found that all the round towers he investigated were made of paramagnetic stone: that is stone that resonates positively in a magnetic field. But they also had dielectric (insulative) properties, they are able to store incoming cosmic electromagnetic/magnetic energy.
In an experiment using a model of the Turlough round tower, it was soaked in a diamagnetic solution of Epsom salts and then allowed to dry naturally. Thin force lines spaced evenly at one millimetre appeared up the tower. On the conical roof at the top the force line spiralled up to the point. At certain heights up the tower the force lines became much thicker bands. These correlated precisely with the floor levels in the actual tower. So we know Brechin Round Tower was a sacred site, but we don't know how it worked - sound, or radiation.

That’s right, everyone’s a winner; but some people are more winners than others. Let me explain.
When we first started up this Alumni Council we asked all of you to complete a brief survey. But human nature being what it is, some of you thought that didn’t apply to you. “Oh, they don’t really need any feedback from little old me,” you thought. “I’ll just go back to watching Scythian videos on Youtube.”
The survey provides us with invaluable information that can only help us to help you!
Of those who did respond, 400+ in fact, the idea of location-based alumni events ranked so highly that it was the impetus for our summer tour. See? Tell us what you want and we make it happen.
So in an effort to encourage the rest of you to fill out the survey we’ve decided to spice things up a bit. And here’s how it’s going to work.
We’re raffling off a brand new Apple Watch.
In order to be entered into the drawing you’ll need to do a few things first. One entry will be given to each person for EACH of the following actions.
- Completing the survey
- Registering for and attending a Grill’n & Chill’n Alumni Event this summer
- Liking the Alumni Facebook page
- Following us on Twitter
- Following this blog
- Following us on Instagram
- Connecting with us on Linkedin
- Joining our Yahoo! group
The only catch is that we cannot conduct the drawing until we have reached the magic threshold of one thousand completed surveys. I know, is this Groupon? Seriously. But if you were paying attention that means that you could be entered up to seven times for a chance to win an Apple Watch. A freakin’ Apple Watch! Come on, Crusaders, this thing is so hot it will burn your wrist causing some kind of reverse tan line. I have one and I love it more than my dog but he’s a schizophrenic Jack Russell Terrier so there’s that…
And if you really want to make this happen then encourage your fellow alums to fill out the survey as well. I promise it’s not a pyramid scheme. That comes next month. By the way, have you guys ever heard of a magic product called Xango? Never mind.
To make it even more enticing for you, we will be running fun games, trivia contests, and unique hashtags on our various social media that might just be exclusive to one platform. In other words, if you’re following us on Twitter you might see a contest that we didn’t run on Facebook. We’re deliciously evil that way.
So here, without additional silliness, are instructions for racking up those entries.*
- Complete the Alumni Information Survey NOW! Don’t question me. Just do it!
- Register for and attend at least one ‘Grill’n & Chill’n’ Alumni Event this summer.
- Facebook: Just like the page. It’s that simple.
- Twitter: Get yourself an account (it’s free and easy) and follow us @Christendom_Alumni.
- The Blog: On the left-hand side of the main page is a blue button that says “Follow”. Click it and submit your email address. You will then receive an email when a new post drops.
- Instagram: Just like Twitter – get an account and follow us @christendom_alumni.
- Linkedin: Does anyone know how this works? I think it’s just a way for Obama to get your resume. But maybe I’m all kinds of Alex Jones crazy and it’s not. So, search for “Christendom College – Crusader Network” on Linkedin and click “Ask to join”.
- Yahoo! Group: Click the link to your left and click “Join group”.
Confused? Post a comment on the Facebook page and we’ll set you straight (but only if you fill out a survey first). Also, links to each of our social media are at the top of this blog so it really couldn’t be simpler. Winners name will be drawn on July 30 at the last summer alumni event in Nokesville, VA
*This contest is ONLY open to Christendom College alumni.

David Neal spoke with Ian Mathews about his transition from his career in the military into founding his own consultancy alongside his partner Jonathan Clark.
David shares with Ian the considerations he and Jonathan explored when establishing The Eighth Mile Consulting strategy development.
They also covered these points in their conversation which can be seen in this short 8-minute video posted to Linked In.
If you interview an executive and a military leader, many aspects of the conversation will sound remarkably similar. Both are responsible for adapting to change, leading people, thinking strategically and delivering results.
But several times during the conversation, you are reminded of just how different the stakes can be for the military leader. An executive might recall delaying the removal of a poor performer, resulting in a disruption in business. The military leader provides a similar example but with much graver consequences.
What was that like? That was very gritty work. My role was as part of an Australian force that could support the Afghan National Army and make sure that our soldiers were getting back alive. Wherever there was trouble, we got dragged in and would get our hands dirty. That’s where I developed my close affiliation with the U.S. because we supported each other during some tough times.
What was an early observation in that role that stuck with you? One of the things I observed was a difference between the U.S. and Australian forces in style and approach. I used to talk to my soldiers on a first name basis, regardless of what rank they were, and they’d be like, “Yeah, boss,” and walk off. I had a US lieutenant struck by the casual approach to the way that we deal with our soldiers. And he was like, “How can you do that? This is your rank, and this is their rank, and we’ve got to maintain discipline.” I learned not to rely on my position because the Australian Army is less structured in our hierarchies. And so what works for one military did not necessarily work for the other. We both have the same tactics on the battlefield, but the way that we communicate with our teams is drastically different. He thought they were insulting me by calling me boss, but in our world, that was a sign of respect. If they started calling me sir, I knew I’d stuffed up.
Does that lesson apply in business? There’s a level of respect in assuming that the people who work with you can poke fun at you. It shows that we trust your ability to deal with it. And if we don’t talk to that person or we don’t want to offend them or whatever, then that’s probably a more concerning sign in our culture.
Tell me about a mistake you made as a new leader in the field. I did not make the hard decisions early enough. An example of that, I had someone in mid-level leadership that was in charge of other people. I was easily influenced and didn’t want to break up the team just before we deployed. I thought that I could change or educate that person in time, and I was wrong. We had a gunfight, and this person froze at a time that I needed them not to freeze. And I now look back and know I could’ve done something about that.
Why didn’t you act on your gut sense? I didn’t want to ruffle feathers, and I didn’t want to upset the status quo. I paid the price for that at the gritty end. If I had groomed someone else, I wouldn’t have risked people’s lives. So for me, have those hard discussions early and be willing to justify the reasoning behind that.
I went through the same thing as a new leader. My naive way of thinking was, “I can change everybody.” It was my ego saying, “I’m a good enough leader to overcome this.” Absolutely. The lead up to that, we’ve gone through four years of relatively intense training where everything is graded, marked and assessed. You’re compared against your peers. The day you graduate, you’re rated from one to whoever is left in the class. You know where you sit in terms of your cohort, your peers, and these are arguably the best leaders in the country. And you’re getting rated against those people. I mean, that’s always in the back of your mind. There’s a competition about who is the best. I’ve got to be the fastest, and I can’t be the weakest — all these really kind of misaligned perceptions.
How did those rankings impact your judgment? I didn’t want to be the one with the weaker team. I didn’t want to cause problems for my headquarters. I didn’t want to be that guy. I wanted to be the guy with solutions. I’ll fix it. And really what I was doing was slapping more band-aids on the problem but not curing the infection underneath. And ultimately, I paid the price for that. And then I had to endure the rest of the tour with that individual. And it hurt me. I had to micromanage to make sure that my soldiers were safe and this came at the expense of the overall operation. With a few hard discussions early, we could have fixed that entire thing.
What were the consequences as you got dragged down to a lower pay grade? The soldiers see that, and they’re like, “Well, why is the boss mucking around at our level? Why is this, why is that?” And I’m trying to work behind the scenes to make sure that everyone’s safe and we all get back alive. That weighs heavy on your conscience. You’re trying to make sure that we’re all going to get back. The other thing I learned, and I think it relates to corporate, military, and personal life is the value of context.
The times when my staff were most frustrated with me were when they didn’t know how or why we were doing something.
If I could talk to a younger version of me, I would say spend that extra 60 seconds on every engagement you have with people to explain the context about how and why you’re doing something. If you can cover both of those things, it will prevent 90% of the problems before they start.
What happens when a leader isn’t transparent enough? It always creeps out anyway. Whatever you say to one person will get back to the original person. It builds strong rapport and trust when you go up to another human and say, “I have a lot of respect for you, and I’m not going to talk behind your back. I’m going to say these things to your face because I believe that you can deal with it.” If you can frame conversations in that way, people will take it positively. One thing that took me a long time to figure out is that the more vulnerable I am, the stronger I am.
Can you elaborate on the importance of being vulnerable? It is counter-intuitive for someone trained to protect their reputation. The more I share about my vulnerabilities, the stronger the rapport I have with people. And I am able to leverage my network to achieve a disproportionate impact.
I find that the most productive people simply have more people willing to do them a favour. Absolutely. And what that looked like was, “Hey Bill, could I borrow some of your trucks? Could you give me a drop 20 km down the road with your helicopter, Harry? Because that would be a great asset for us not to walk that far.” These were favours, not orders or demands. This was over a mobile phone going, “Hook a brother up, and I’ll do you a favour later.”
How do you share vulnerability in a business context? When we meet someone, we tell them how bad we are at some things. We put those knives on the table before we start. We approached two-star generals with, “Hey look, this is where we’ve personally let you down. Let me explain where we’re weak. We haven’t hit the mark on this particular project.” The more we did that, the more those people protected us because they were like, “I can trust this person. I don’t need to hunt for the negative things. They just tell it to me straight away.”
As you approached the end of your term, how did you decide to start this company? I had no intention of creating a business. I jumped into a project manager role in a large not-for-profit organization to roll out an enterprise project. It was similar to some of the projects I worked on within defence. But while I was in that organization, I observed what I thought were Leadership 101 problems. It was a toxic environment, and I was like, “How can this business run when leaders can’t even talk to their staff? They can’t say one thing without bullying them.
So, you saw a problem first-hand and decided to build a solution? Yes. I started taking notes in the background with my friend Jonathan, as we were working on this project together. We got to the end of our contracts, and I said, “Do you think there’s merit in us starting a business where we can help people based on our lessons learned?” We got so comfortable working in high-performing teams, and there seems to be a complete vacuum of it. And working with high-performing teams is addictive. It’s an amazing feeling when you’re on a humming team, and everyone knows their place, and everyone’s getting stuff done. I thought, “Why don’t we start a business helping companies create great teams?”
Your company’s motto is, “Good people helping good people.” What does that mean to you? We look at projects and change initiatives holistically, but with a lens of, “How do you engage with people?” Because so many problems are disguised as something else. Most of what we deal with is people. What looks like a technical problem is often one person won’t talk to another because they don’t like them, and the company is trying to patch it with a new system that costs a million dollars. We ask why they don’t get the two talking to each other or get rid of the offender.
You started Eighth Mile Consulting with your longtime friend, Jonathan Clark. How important has it been for you to start this business with a partner? It’s massive. We made a deliberate choice that we would fulfil two roles, as we have two different styles. Behind the scenes, we do very different things. I’ve adopted the part of the gap-finder, forward-leaner, opportunity-finder, relationship-builder. Jonathan has adopted the systems, processes, structure, design, organization, management and operational side. Knowing your place in the team and defining it is crucial. We hold each other accountable, and I think our team thrives on that.
How did you think about positioning for Eighth Mile? In true military fashion, the first thing we did was purchase a whiteboard and a big marker. Jonathan and I sat there over bourbon and wrote about where you might not see two knuckle-dragging ex-infantry consultants. Where can we be a point of difference? And we focused on not-for-profits, clinical care, medical and education. We’re going to lean into these areas where we are a point of difference.
What was your marketing plan? We tried LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter with different messaging. I aimed at these various industries to see where we might provide value. LinkedIn quickly rose to the top, and I developed a few tactile skills on that platform. So we started building our personal brands concurrently while we were making the company brand. Our messaging slowly switched to, “Well, if you like me as a human, you should see the rest of my team, because they’re incredible.” Since our business has been running, we’ve spent less than $500 on advertising.
What advice would you give to someone starting a company today? In the small business world, you do everything for a while. You don’t have the capital, and you don’t have the revenue coming in. Your margins might be small. Write down your strategy. It’s a contract with yourself and that should incorporate a linkage to your personal life. Do not commit to starting a new enterprise or a new business if you think that it will not affect your home life. | <urn:uuid:8251096f-30ee-46d9-9086-0397c16e7759> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://eighthmile.com.au/tag/the-eighth-mile-consulting/ | 2020-09-20T05:44:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.979288 | 2,685 |

A reportback from the Yellow Vests actions in Toulouse on December 29: Acte VII.
Note: Enough is Enough is not organizing any of these events, we are publishing this text for people across the US and Europe to be able to see what is going on and for documentation only.
Read all our Gilets Jaunes articles: https://enoughisenough14.org/tag/yellow-jackets/
Once again, lots of people got together for Act 7 of the Yellow Vest protest in Toulouse. The crowd gathered at Arnaud Bernard at 2pm.
Very quickly, more than 1000 people went towards the Conseil Départemental and went back to the city centre. The first friction with police occurred next to the St Sernin basilica: the police wanted to block protesters from going to the Capitole (main square of the city, where the town hall is). They used tear gas.
The city boulevards (Jeanne d’Arc, Compans) were full of fully armed cops, many police vehicles, including one equipped with a water cannon.
4pm : Cops spent about 30 minutes throwing tear gas bombs on people near Compans Cafarelli.
The crowd headed towards the Pont des Catalans and crossed the Garonne river. The helicopter was flying over our heads. The BAC (Brigade Anti Criminalité, mainly plainclothed cops, known for their brutality) dispersed the protesters.
5pm : The crowd was trying to go back to the city centre but the bridges were blocked by many police trucks. Cops were still attacking the crowd and proceeded to an arrest. They started using GLI-F4 grenades, infamous for mutilating and hurting many protesters. It contains 25g of TNT and can be thrown either by hand or be rocket-propelled. Some of these grenades did not explode when thrown, which is very dangerous if someone picks it up.
6pm : only a few hundred people remained near the Fer à Cheval roundabout, being chased and attacked by the police. A protester got shot in the eye with a flash-ball. The « voluntary rescue » service took care of him quickly. By the way, we spotted them snitching and talking with the cops several times.
Around, people were fleeing and went hiding into a school, some others in a construction site. When they got out they were searched and their protecting equipment was seized, along with their yellow vests. A person was arrested there for drug possession and knife possession.
At the same time, the protesters that had managed to stay in the city centre were tear-gassed in the Capitole square, after trying to knock at the town hall door.
About 20 people were arrested in Toulouse during the protest, summary trials will take place on Dec. 31th and Jan 2nd. People will be taken to jail to wait for their trials. We could stress the police violence, once again, but with the GLI F4 grenades used for the first time in Toulouse. Lots and lots of tear gas, systematic use of flash-ball, physical violence with batons, kicking … And also the psychological violence, due to stress, slurs, threats.
EDIT 31/12 : we were informed that it was not the first use of the GLI-F4 grenades. They were used on Dec 8th for sure and some people testified that they were used during previous Yellow Vests protests.

Five colourful vignettes depicting a country acknowledged by many as the cradle of western civilisation and a land of milk and honey – five ‘diary entries’ in verse – a moveable feast for senses, spirit and intellect recalled in vivid and intimate detail.
Heaney spoke to DOD of his 1995 holiday (369) … Marie and myself and Cynthia and Dimitri Hadzi. … long promised, long deferred, but finally it had become inevitable. I’d done the first Sophocles translation five years before (‘Philoctetes’ premiered by Field Day Theatre Company as ‘The Cure of Troy’) and had just published a limited edition that included the ‘Mycenae Lookout’ sequence, with art work by Dimitri. I’d got to know the Hadzis in Harvard. Being Greek-American, Dimitri spoke some modern Greek; and being a sculptor in stone and bronze, he was an ideal guide to the sites. Cynthia had travelled the route with Dimitri several times before – Ancient Corinth, Mycenae, Epidauros, Arcadia, Sparta – so she was our driver.
Coincidentally it was during the holiday in 1995 that news broke of Heaney’s Nobel Prize for Literature and created the drama of contacting him with the news!
- Into Arcadia
In praise of sheer abundance (opulence and amen) – walnuts purchased on the roadside from a globe-trotting local (once in Melbourne, Australia) drawn back to his homeland, whose primitive irrigation system (pipes and runnels of split reed offers proof positive that little has changed in Arcadia over nearly 3 millennia (known in Hellas probably, since Hesiod).
Even greater surprises in store (the least of it): a layer of poorly loaded apples strewn over the road surface (burst open) – perceptible within the car via tiny ups-and-downs (raunched) and the sound of squashing fruit (scrunched) that left the vehicle splashed with a rich layer of fruity matter (juiced up and fleshed and spattered); the whole episode a source of great fun for the travellers (revelling in it).
To cap it all a timeless icon of ancient Arcadia (goatherd with his goats) standing incongruously amidst the twentieth century (forecourt of the filling station) – a remnant from a Virgilian age (subsisting beyond eclogue) who has survived across the ages (translation).
- opulence: abundance, wealth of natural resources
- amen: prayer ending ‘so be it’; connotation of ‘who could disagree?’
- walnut: edible fruit contained in a large, hard rounded shell;
- Melbourne: capital city of Victoria, a state in south-eastern Australia, on the Bass Strait opposite Tasmania
- train: direct;

- the least of it: a first example fading into insignificance;
- Argos: ancient Greek city-state ; the Peloponnese City of Argos, along with Mycenaeand Tiryns, was a significant Mycenaean centre, and the city remained important throughout the Greek, Hellenistic, and Roman periods until its destruction by the Visigoths in 395 CE.
- Arcadia: term derived from the Greek province of the same name dating to antiquity; the province’s mountainous topography and sparse rural population later caused the word Arcadiato develop into a poetic byword for an idyllic vision of unspoiled wilderness. Arcadia is a poetic shaped space associated with bountiful natural splendour and harmony;

Seventy miles to the south the travellers are scaling a footpath to the acropolis in Sparta amidst a swirl of sense data (dank, sunk, rock-floored lane) and the underfoot echoes (tramping on burst shells and crunching down) of mellow Spartan fruitfulness (conkers …high-gloss horse-chestnuts).
Heaney ponders how best to express the conkers’ shade of brown – something from the sea perhaps (kelp … bladderwort), some shade seen on a young animal (foals’ hooves) or the tint of a cared-for shoe (dubbed leather). His next test is to describe the distinctive aroma of crushed chestnuts (tainted pith) held to the nostril: not entirely pleasant (hint of ordure) but not pervasive (coming and going).
Onwards and upwards – past reminders of mythical one-eyed monsters (cyclopic stone), over earthworks (rings of defence … breached walls) in guilty possession of ‘stolen’ goods (looted conkers gravid in my satchel).
The final scene replaces the strenuous activity of people getting to the top with a peaceful canvas of those who made it: a big-sky background (daylight moon) … a foreground in which an artist reaps the artist’s rewards for his efforts (Dimitri … sketched) … in a stance at once mythical (squared … shoulders like a centaur’s) yet anchored in this world (nodded, nodded, nodded towards the spouses), heedful of wives chatting out of sight (heard but not seen) behind a middle-ground of thick acanthus.

On the Peloponnese coast eighty miles west of Sparta the poet looks from his window onto the sea-front at Pylos. The associations generated lead him in tribute to the American scholar who primed Heaney to see beyond and beneath the surface.
Early morning invigoration – shoals of sea bounty (Barbounia schooled) … reflections of a rising sun on the beach … the intimacy of incoming breakers (wave-clip and flirt), their thudding impact (tide-slap), collapse and ebb (flop and flow) – restoration and rejuvenation for Heaney, conjuring up the image of a mythological son in search of his heroic father (Telemachos, young again) and the colourful ancient world beyond the whitewashed light of morning.
The play of light flashed on the ceiling urges Heaney (early warning) not to be distracted (be more myself) by things immediate, however seductive to his senses the mast-bending marine breeze.
The curved mast and its ropes (image of the bow strung as a lyre) create an involuntary link (key the understanding) to a Harvard Professor and teacher who brought the ancient legends to life: Robert Fitzgerald (Harvard Nestor akin to the wise old king of Pylos in Greek history).
Heaney chose the name, he tells DOD (273), after Fitzgerald had taken him on one side at Harvard and pointed out the hidden demands of the Boylston chair of Rhetoric and Oratory, the contract Heaney had been offered and would take up in 1984.
Heaney lauds Fitzgerald’s qualities: his kindness to the poet, an Irishman abroad (sponsor and host) … his mammoth achievement (translator of all Homer) … his health-consuming commitment (wasted face in profile) … his moments of distant concentration (ceiling-staring) … his attitude that of an elderly yet far from world-weary man (not yet past caring) … his eagerness to miss nothing (scanning the offing) … his insights and caring guidance (far-seeing shadower).

4 The Augean Stables
An antique frieze-carving depicts the mythological goddess Athene offering support (nod of her high helmet … staff sunk) to a divine hero faced with a seemingly unattainable task – she is showing Heracles where to harness (broach) the powers of nature (Alpheus flowing out of its course) as an ingenious, labour-saving means of removing thirty years of neglect (deep dung strata … reeking yard and stables).
Continuous downhill river flow from the water tables will remove both stench (sweet dissolutions) and wash away foul solids (blocked doors and packed floors) turned to liquid (deluging like gutters ).
Heaney’s volta paints a shocking contrast – images of sublime surroundings (Olympia, down among green willows), of a cleansing river flowing calmly (lustral wash and run of river shallows) shattered by news of a foul political assassination back home in Northern Ireland (Sean Brown’s murder in the grounds of Bellaghy GAA Club).
Heaney spells out the paradox– pressured water deployed (hose-water smashing hard) to cleanse the car park of the evidence of barbarism that killed a community-minded sixty-one year old: where his athlete’s blood ran cold.
- Augean Stables: associated with the Twelve Labours of Greek god and hero Heracles (Roman Hercules) appearing commonly in the phrase clean the Augean stable, that is clear away corruption or perform a large and unpleasant task that has long called for attention. Augeas, the mythical king of Elis, kept great stables that held 3,000 oxen and had not been cleaned for thirty years. Hercules was assigned to the job to be completed in single day. He accomplished it, his 5th Labour, by diverting two rivers to run through the stables. When Hercules was young he was visited by two nymphs—Pleasure and Virtue—who offered him a choice between a pleasant and easy life, or a severe but glorious life: he chose the glory.
- bas-relief: moulded, carved piece of art with texture;
- Athene: wise senior goddess of Greek mythology;

- pack: raise artificially:
- deluge: flood;
- gutter: channel that carries away rainwater;
- Olympia: plain in Greece, in the western Peloponnese, said, In ancient Greece, to be the chief sanctuary of the principal god Zeus;
- lustral: linked to classical Roman ‘lustrum’ ritual of spiritual cleansing; element of brightness attached;
- Sean Brown: 61 year old victim of a sectarian atrocity, attacked and beaten by members of an Ulster loyalist paramilitary group as he locked the gates at Bellaghy Gaelic Athletic Association Club in May 1997; put in the boot of his own car he was later shot six times; well known in south Derry as a dedicated family man and chairman of the club; this senseless murder was beyond Heaney’s comprehension;
- hose: man-made tube carrying water and directing its flow;
- asphalt: bituminous road-surfacing material;
- run cold: in death; connotations of horror as in ‘it makes my blood run cold’
- sonnet; volta after line 8;

- first lines interweave assonance (‘stables…favourite…Alpheus/ ‘show…broach’/ ‘relief…Heracles’) and alliteration ([r] favourite…Heracles…broach…river/ [h] Heracles…high helmet/ sibilants ‘staff sunk…exact spot…Alpheus;
- later alliterative effects’ alveolar plosives[d] [t] deep dung strata’/ [l] and [w] ‘Olympia…willows…wash…shallows’ / ‘hose…hard’ and paired assonances ‘doors…floors’ / ‘Brown…grounds’/ ‘hose…cold’;
- classical references and abstruse words ‘dissolutions…lustral’;
- literal phrase ‘blood ran cold’ that assumes figurative proportions;
5 Castalian Spring
Heaney and his group have moved onto the Greek mainland north of the Gulf of Corinth close to Delphi.
Immovable object meets irresistible force – Heaney is determined to win.
She who guards the Castalian site (thunderface) betrays an anger of godlike proportion (not Zeus’s ire, but hers) as she seeks to prevent an Irish visitor (!) from entering the spring site itself.
The poet’s temper rises (mine mounting from it) in face of of impending failure to achieve what he came all this way for (drink the waters of the Castalian Spring), a thing he views as the just desert (arrogate … to myself) of an Irish bard in a place dripping with poetry (under the god Apollo’s giddy cliff).
The shock of unexpected obstruction (inner water sanctum … roped off) is followed by an expletive explosion (to hell with that … to hell with all who’d stop me, thunderface!) as he brushes authority aside (up the steps then, into the sandstone grottoes).
The sonnet’s volta lowers Heaney’s blood pressure from furioso to calma – once access is achieved the poet has space and time to take in the seeps and dreeps, the shallow pools, the mosses, and reflect that both he and the natural water entering the site along distant geological channels have ended up here from beyond, and come far. He acknowledges he is soothed (useless anger draining away) shows his reverence (bowed) and drinks freely from the spring (mouthed in sweetness) adding a nod of approval for his refusal to be deterred (defiance)!
- Castalian Spring: sacred source of Delphi whose waters played an important role in the cult and procedure of the temple and of the oracle; place where Pythia (the priestess who held the oracle’s court at Delphi), the priests and the temple staff washed and where the water used to clean the temple came from. The theopropoi – those wishing to consult the oracle – were also obliged to wash here in order to purify themselves. The Castalian spring is located at the foot of the rocky crag Phleboukos (‘flamboyant’), inside the ravine separating the two Phaedriades (‘shining rocks’).

An evening celebration set in the hilly area around Delphi.
The mountain of the Muses (Mount Parnassus placid on the skyline) has set the Irish-speakers the challenge of finding gaelicized equivalents. Heaney and Marie do well – Slieve (from the Irish sliabh ‘mountain’); Filiocht (old Irish word for ‘poetry’; Knock (old Irish cnoc –‘hill’, ‘mount’; Ben (Scottish ‘high mountain’); Duan (Irish for ‘poem’, ‘song’).
The holiday-makers sit together at sunset in the farmyard, gorging themselves pre-dinner Greek-style refreshment (we wolfed down horta, tarama and houmos) and aperitifs (ouzos), making light of the high-pitched histrionic outbursts (squeal) of a dead ringer for the Delphic oracle (streel-haired cailleach in the scullery).
They move on leaving the hag to her family (allow them to sedate her) driving up to Desfina for a dinner of further Greek delicacies – wine (retsina), seafood (anchovies, squid), stuffed vine leaves (dolmades) plus a ubiquitous non-Greek side-dish (french fries even).
Heaney’s over-indulgence blurred the journey back (my head was light … hyper, boozed), made him feel like an alien (borean). Unforgettable however the white-knuckle experience (bowled back down), the skidding navigation of bends (siren-tyred), the demented ‘clear-out-the-way’ warnings (manic on the horn), the succession of hairpin bends so frequent as to resemble the endless reversed lettering of a Greek inscriptions (looped like boustrophedon).

Our story and mission
I've created seeds for Fleur du Mal since 2002. I tend toward indoor sativa-dominant hybrids, many based around Cinderella, Durban and a stabilized cross of the original early 90s Blueberry X Nigerian Skunk called ESB. This work has been greatly enhanced by my long friendships with some of the top boutique cannabis breeders of the past twenty years who were mentors that generously shared their knowledge and genetics with me back in the early days of the online grower community.
I present these offerings with the full acknowledgement that I stand on the shoulders of those that have come before me. My goals are simple, to bring out the best of what each parent strain offers in distinct crosses and lines, to improve and protect the diversity and integrity of the cannabis plant, and to be transparent in provenance and heritage, so that perhaps others can build upon my work some day. | <urn:uuid:6de78149-ee8a-4968-8f45-2195b47fd025> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://fdmseeds.com/content/4-about-us | 2020-09-20T03:23:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.964042 | 183 |
Happy Friday to my ladies and gents who follow me and regularly read my posts. I apologize for posting today’s happy Friday late this morning/afternoon. I’m having such a fast paced Friday and I leave two hours earlier due to our summer hours schedule.
And as a result of the memorial day holiday, we’re a little short on staff today, so I am playing my role, ish, as well as the receptionist and stylist. It’s not even noon and I feel burnt out. But, in an accomplished way. Like, I’m helping getting sh*t done, son!
And that’s the attitude I’m taking with me into the long weekend. Getting it done. Making it work. Handlin’ it. But, as hustlers, what else are we going to do? | <urn:uuid:e610f4a6-0616-49ec-84b2-b0dc91eceb86> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://femalesinglenhustlin.com/2019/05/24/happy-friday-making-it-work/ | 2020-09-20T03:52:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.941232 | 182 |
Psychologists and geneticists disagree on the origins of musical talent
There were some 60 members of the Bach family over seven generations in the 17th and 18th centuries. More than 50 of them were professional musicians of one kind or another. Does this suggest that musical talent is in the genes? Or did it simply become the habit in these households echoing with harpsichords that each young Bach would acquire the skill?
It’s not just the Bachs. At this year’s BBC Proms concerts, Gennady Rozhdestvensky conducted his violinist son Sasha. Yan Pascal Tortelier, son of cellist Paul, conducted other concerts. There were works by the brothers Colin and David Matthews.
The problem is that there is no solid evidence either way. Detailed genetic studies have been beyond the scope of science. The psychological research that has been done up until now leaves plenty of room for furious argument.
It is the old nature versus nurture debate, but with added layers of complexity and ambiguity. Professor John Sloboda of Keele University is internationally known for his work on the psychology of music. He and his colleagues reviewed the arguments on both sides in a paper published in Behavioural and Brain Sciences in June 1998. They “found no evidence of innate attributes operating in the predictable and specific manner” that they felt “talent” should produce. They concluded that “differences in early experiences, preferences, opportunities, habits, training, and practice are the real determinants of excellence.”
Others disagree vehemently. Professor Sir Walter Bodmer, one of the world’s top experts in human genetics, says: “There is as far as I know no hard data on the genetic basis of musical ability, but I believe the circumstantial evidence for innate ability is overwhelming (as it is for mathematics), and this surely must be genetic.”
Whatever the answer, it has profound implications for how we treat people with talent, and indeed for the meaningfulness of the word itself. As it stands, “talent” is a term that is not merely descriptive, but freighted, fairly or not, with expectation.
In truth, it seems almost certain that both nature and nurture are important in forming exceptional musical ability. Take Michael Berkeley, the composer and Radio 3 presenter. He is the son of another composer, Lennox Berkeley. “When I was aged six I knew without any doubt whatsoever that I was going to be a composer,” he says. “My father said I wouldn’t get there unless I did a lot more work. I’ve always felt that there was something there, but that it’s a combination of the two.” (Lennox also worked for the BBC, and nobody claims that is a genetically inherited trait!)
What would constitute strong evidence for innate talent? Not simple excellence. That could be down to hard work. Perhaps not even exceptional ability in the young. Prodigies are individually remarkable, but there are so few of them; we still think first of Wolfgang Mozart, born nearly 250 years ago. The fact that music is present in all cultures would seem to argue for innate talent. But its varied nature and significance in different cultures argues against. (So for that matter does the strong sexist streak in music—those fathers and sons and brothers at the Proms. If genes are responsible, there should be as many women as men in music.)
What is known about the role of genes? Not much so far. We know that some diseases and disabilities are heritable. Some may have simple causes which may be put down to a single gene. In others, numbers of genes may be involved in complex ways. Leaving aside the fashionable euphemism “differently abled”, it seems genuinely harsh to categorise other capacities as disabilities rather than exceptional abilities. Synaesthesia is one—the capacity to associate sounds, objects and ideas with particular colours—a quality that has been possessed by several famous artists and musicians. Autism is an exceptional ability (for example to recall and manipulate numbers) accompanied by a general inability to perform more mundane actions.
Artistic talent would seem to bear similarities to these conditions. Ellen Winner, professor of psychology at Boston College, Massachusetts, is a leading opponent of Sloboda’s argument. “One sees such exceptional abilities at such young ages that just seem to come out of nowhere that it is completely unrealistic to think that these are all the product of training,” she says.
It is hard to design experiments to test this, however. The obvious genetic path is to look at twins. But there have been few such studies, and the work that has been done has been flawed. “One twin study showed modest heritability, but I don’t think they were looking at extreme talent,” says Winner. With extreme talent “I would bet anything there is more than modest heritability.”
Another approach would be to isolate important components of musicality and look at them. Bodmer has speculated that perfect pitch (the ability to name or sing given notes) might be genetically inherited. Again, there is some evidence for this, but nothing conclusive. In any case, perfect pitch is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for musicianship.
If talent is genetic, Sloboda argues, then we should see many more prodigies, and in particular young talent arising in circumstances where it is not favoured. “Early ability is not evidence of talent unless it emerges in the absence of special opportunities to learn,” he says. Even that prodigy of prodigies, Mozart, offers evidence for both nature and nurture. His father was a composer, but he was also famously ambitious for his son, bullying him towards musical greatness. In his review, Sloboda concluded that the demonstration of exceptional musical skill tends to follow rather than precede attempts to encourage it.
Winner believes the opposite, that talent engenders motivation. “You cannot take an ordinary kid and make him or her so motivated that he or she will work in an intense way that a prodigy or gifted child will work,” she says. “A rage to master” comes along with the talent.
Early childhood experience is clearly important. Most parents sing to their infants. Music psychologists have established that very young children “understand” music, in other words that they have an appreciation of some of its basic rules. They react to repetition of themes or certain rhythms and harmonies. Problems begin to creep in as children get older. Sloboda reports that children learn to reject discords and unfinished cadences in their primary school years. But a discord in one culture may be sweet music in another. Perhaps there are two sets of rules, a lenient innate set that frames the diverse musical conventions of different cultures around the world; and the more specific rules that are taught, either explicitly through music classes or implicitly through hearing particular kinds of music. Thus, some composers believe not that we must learn to appreciate modern music, but that we lose our innate capacity to do so because there are no atonal nursery rhymes.
If musical talent appears unusually heritable (again, there is again no hard evidence for this, but it seems easier to recall musical dynasties than literary or artistic ones) there may a sound reason for it – literally. The foetal hearing system is sufficiently developed by the middle months of pregnancy that an unborn baby will react to loud music.
For performers, innate talent may be important, but so is something else. As the New York taxi driver said to the woman who asked, “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?”: “Practise, lady, practise.” Physical attributes may be important too. Sloboda mentions the vocal tract characteristics required by opera singers. Pianists must have a sufficient hand span.
But it is curious that some researchers are prepared to accept that these physical qualities, and even particular facilities such as perfect pitch, could be innate, while claiming that the mental attributes to be a musician must be learned. This may simply indicate that we tend to neglect the effect of that which we cannot see. In fact, differences in brain development have been observed in “talented” people, but it is still not clear whether these are caused by the genes or by particular mental activity during brain development.
Looking at composers rather than performers may clear up some of the confusion. Composers don’t need to be any special size or shape. They don’t practise, at least not in the way that performers do, according to Dean Simonton, professor of psychology at the University of California Davis. “This is not to say that composers do not have to learn their trade. It’s just that the correspondence between years of practice and virtuosity is very high for performers, but much lower for composers.”
Contrary to what one might expect, Simonton has found that “the most famous composers actually had fewer years of formal music training before they began composition, and were composing for fewer years before they began producing masterpieces.” Berkeley’s case would also seem to argue for nature: he knew he would be a composer long before he began to compose. “I knew that I would write music, but I was unable to focus my mind and start until my mid 20s.” How did he know? “Because everything I felt profoundly about, things that moved me, emotions, manifested themselves as sounds in my head. I also concocted in my mind wonderful musical landscapes.”
The Matthews’ experience perversely seems to disown both nature and nurture. “With us it’s very odd indeed,” says Colin Matthews. “We come from a pretty unmusical family. Nor did we have a particular musical upbringing, although we were both were reasonable pianists. Suddenly, both of us got struck by a bug. It was a conviction of wanting to become a composer.” Composition is notoriously difficult to teach, Matthews adds. “No two composers really learn or work in the same way. I sometimes think you’re either a composer or you’re not.”
Bizarre anecdotes and dodgy correlation studies are all very well, but as Sir Walter Bodmer says: “Until proper genetic marker studies are done, as for any disease study nowadays, I don’t think there will be much more concrete to say about this.”
Those studies are just beginning. For example, general cognitive ability (shortened as g), conventionally if inadequately measured by IQ tests, is widely thought to be heritable. Earlier this year, Professor Robert Plomin and co-workers at the Maudsley’s Institute of Psychiatry published the results of DNA marker studies (a means of tagging individual genes in order to establish their influence on attributes) which suggest that a particular gene is associated with high IQ. The gene also correlated with mathematical and verbal precocity. This is far from the whole story, however. “It is not the gene for g, but one of many genes responsible for the high heritability of g,” says Plomin.
Among those who support the nature side of debate, there is at least agreement that there will be no one gene for musical talent. “My own view about genes and complex abilities is that it is not a one-to-one correspondence,” says Professor Susan Greenfield, the director of the Royal Institution.
Not only may many genes lie behind musical talent, but those genes may be responsible for several areas of ability. “I think the problem may be that there’s no one gene associated with musical talent, but rather a large number, some of which may not be unique to music,” says Simonton. Here may lie the key to the often noted links between musical talent and mathematical or artistic ability or synaesthesia.
Meanwhile, perceptions of talent have had an unfortunate influence on music education. Surveys suggest that most music teachers in schools believe that some children have innate gifts while others do not. These teachers then see their task as identifying those “talented” individuals and fostering that talent. This seems a logical if harsh course of action if musical ability really is inherited. But if “talent” is merely an artefact of our environment—a spiral in which a slightly above average ability revealed by chance at a crucial moment is seized upon by a teacher who then sets challenges and encourages further ability—then this policy is cruelly unfair on “ungifted” pupils. The same argument goes for other fields from visual arts to mathematics where giftedness is thought important.
From their position that genes are unimportant, Sloboda’s group state that “categorising some children as innately talented is inherently discriminatory. The evidence suggests that such categorisation is unfair and wasteful, preventing young people from pursuing a goal because of the unjustified conviction of teachers or parents that certain children would not benefit from the superior opportunities given to those who are deemed to be talented.”
And if it’s all in the genes, then we’ll just have to wait for the therapies to become available that will bring music into our families as it was in Bach’s. | <urn:uuid:a716800f-ecad-4492-88de-4c2787926bee> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hughalderseywilliams.com/journalism.php?subaction=showfull&id=1361226829&start_from=10&ucat=1&template=HAW | 2020-09-20T05:41:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.973557 | 2,778 |

The ins and outs of redrawing settlement boundary lines – literally deciding which pieces of land are brought inside the borders and which are cut loose – is still an unsolved puzzle for Woolwich planners.
Judging from the reduced number of delegates out Tuesday night compared to past public meetings – the process has been underway since 2012 – the township is getting closer to a final configuration. The goal is to have things wrapped up by the fall.
There are, however, still some property owners unhappy to be on the outside looking in, development plans for their land on hold until the maps are redrawn to their liking. For now, the township can only shift lines, as for every acre brought into the fold, another has to be dropped somewhere. The whole exercise requires no net increases in the total size of settlement areas – hamlets, villages and towns – in the township. Some of the requests will have to go unfilled.
Eyeing a solution to the longstanding need for a bypass route around Elmira, planning staff’s latest draft includes allocating space along the town’s east side, land that could eventually see a new road take shape as industrial development comes on stream, said director of engineering and planning Dan Kennaley.
As drafted, the new boundaries could allow the township to get going on a bypass project even if the Region of Waterloo continues to drag its feet, he suggested.
“We’re worried that the region isn’t going to give consideration to the bypass.”
But Coun. Mark Bauman questioned the need to include what is largely floodplain land in the settlement area at the south end of Elmira. The bypass route – which is still some time off – could be realigned to begin farther to the north, he noted.
The bypass plan was also challenged by a planner for Home Hardware, who argued against reducing land allocations in St. Jacobs and applying the quota to the Elmira project.
Scott Patterson of planners Labreche Patterson said the township should bring into the village settlement more land adjacent to Home Hardware’s Henry Street headquarters, allowing room for a much needed expansion.
Hugh Handy, a planner with the GSP Group, pressed for a swap of land requests in Bloomingdale on behalf of the Stevanus family and their company, Van-Del Contracting.
Where previous meetings spent considerable time on Breslau’s settlement boundaries, there was much less talk this week, though issues remain, just as there are a few in nearby Shantz Station.
With the rationalization process, Woolwich is looking to bring its planning documents into conformity with the new regional official plan (ROP). It’s the region that’s decreed no net gains as the township revises community boundaries in three classes: rural (the small centres such as Conestogo, Floradale and Maryhill), township urban (Elmira and St. Jacobs) and urban, the new designation for Breslau, where much of the growth, particularly industrial, is expected. The designation also applies to the stockyards area south of St. Jacobs on the Waterloo border.
Looking to make better use of developable land, Woolwich proposes to rationalize the boundaries of settlement areas. The official plan amendment discussed at council Tuesday night essentially proposes to remove some land from the settlements, replacing it with other properties with great development potential.
Kennaley said his staff will incorporate the latest round of suggestions into a new draft to be presented to council at another public meeting in the fall. | <urn:uuid:9a086774-2834-4348-8028-8dbb4d8c14da> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://observerxtra.com/2016/06/30/woolwich-continues-refine-changes-settlement-maps/ | 2020-09-20T04:48:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.959459 | 727 |

I am a fan of less is more when it comes to skincare. I don’t want to have 17 steps to take care of my face, I just want the basics, and I want them to work, which is why we have the Basic Skin Care Set. I call it the 2-2-2 set. 2 pumps of No Regrets to wash your face, 2 pumps of our White Rose Frankincense Hydrosol Toner to tighten pores and balance sebum, then 2 pumps of our Vitamin C Retinol Intensive to do EVERY-THING-ELSE. If there is such a thing as love in a bottle for me, this is it.
10% oil solvable vitamin c-Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate- This vitamin c is primed and ready for your skin. Our choice in vitamin c is a pre-solubilized version of vitamin c. We love this ingredient because it doesn’t oxidize like other vitamin c’s, and it is immediately bio-available for your skin. Traditional vitamin c’s, such as l-ascorbic acid, oxidize very quickly and lose the majority of their potency once the skin care product is formulated. Oil solubilized vitamin c has a shelf life of up to 18 months once inside a product, so much longer than any other vitamin c on the market. The other benefit of solubilized vitamin c is that it starts working immediately on your skin. Vitamin c is a powerful ingredient to help boost skin’s natural collagen production and brighten your complexion. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate has been specifically tested and proven to be more gentle than traditional vitamin c’s, and more bio-available so that your skin benefits more and faster by using products containing this specific vitamin c.
2.5% retinol- Retinaldehyde- Retinol either seems to elicit feelings of happiness around skincare, or fear. I have been using Retinol products on my face since I was 12. I was diagnosed with cystic acne, and retinol was the go-to. Retinol is a fantastic ingredient, and one that has been very successful at helping those with acne, wrinkles and sun damaged skin. The fear with retinol, though, is the peeling stage. A lot of retinol products, especially back in the day, were hard on the skin and if you used too much, too fast, your whole face would burn and peel. Retinol has come a long way in the last 20 years, and the retinol that we use is a patented retinalhyde (IconicA), which has been stated as “the best non-prescription retinol”. Retinalhyde is a stable form of vitamin a that converts to retinoic acid on the skin. When used in the form of IconicA, this retinoic acid creation happens inside the cells, not on top of this skin. This means that products using this specific type of Retinalhyde are more gentle. Individuals with very sensitive skin or those who have had negative reactions to retinol products in the past are generally safe to use products with this specific retinalhyde. Retinalhyde works to reduce wrinkles by boosting the skin’s natural collagen production and helps to repair the connective tissue under the skin. Retinalhyde is also excellent for controlling excess oil, so those with oily skin will greatly benefit from daily use of our Vitamin C Retinol Intensive.
5% glycolic-Glycolic acid is an amazing ingredient for helping to fight the signs of aging, and for controlling sebum production. Some glycolic products are at a level of 10% or higher, and specifically designed to be peels. These are fabulous products that should be used every few weeks to get a deep cleanse of your skin, but not something you would want to use daily. Our Vitamin C Retinol Intensive is specifically designed with just 5% glycolic, to give your skin a gentle daily exfoliation, removing dead skin and bringing newer, fresher skin to the surface, without the full peel of stronger glycolic products. Glycolic acid products help to boost skin’s natural moisture, and to gently exfoliate the top layer of dead skin and bring newer, fresher skin to the surface.
Peptides-Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38- Peptides are gaining in popularity across the skincare industry. Peptides work to boost collagen production and increase the skin’s natural elasticity. Both peptides that we use have been tested extensively and have great skin response. Incorporating peptide products into your daily skincare routine is an excellent way to help slow the aging process and work on fighting those fine lines and wrinkles.
Hyaluronic Acid- Hyaluronic acid is another one of those ingredients that are found in so many products now. Hyaluronic acid works to increase the moisture retention in your skin. Hydrated skin is healthy skin, so the more hydration based products you use, the better your skin will age. Our Vitamin C Retinol Intensive has 1% sodium hyaluronate, which is a fermented Hyaluronic acid, not an animal based version (Hyaluronic acid is originally derived from roosters). There are products on the market that have much higher levels of hyaluronic acid in them, but your skin can only hold so much moisture. It is like pouring water into the ocean. The ocean won’t be more wet.
Plants- I love plants and I believe in plants in my skincare. On top of all these fantastic skincare ingredients this product has rose water, Rosehip seed oil, organic sea buckthorn oil (that is why this product is yellow), organic raspberry seed oil, organic horsetail extract, bear berry extract, blueberry extract, green tea extract, arctic cranberry extract, and cloudberry extract.
We believe in natural and effective, and the Vitamin C Retinol Intensive is a highly effective, very natural skin care product with tested and proven anti-aging ingredients. This product is so natural and incorporates so many plants that you actually have to shake the bottle a couple of times per week or it will separate. We use the least amount of thickener as possible because I wanted every good-for-your-face ingredient to penetrate your skin, and not sit on top with the thickener. Your face will not feel sticky or gummy when you use this. You can apply make-up directly on top and your face will feel and look great all day.
Thank you for joining us on the quest for healthier skin through the use of all-natural and natural-based skincare products. | <urn:uuid:46ac7ad6-fd90-453c-af13-19447e4227a8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://susieqskin.com/blogs/tips/my-lovechild-skincare-product | 2020-09-20T04:56:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.937338 | 1,441 |

ZOLL believes AEDs should not just deliver a shock. They should also help the rescuer provide high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) That's why you need ZOLL AEDs, the AED Plus with Real CPR Help.
The Zoll AED Plus offers:
- Real CPR Help for rate and depth of compressions.
- Support for the complete Chain of Survival
- Help to all victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), even those for which no shock is advised.

At the moment I’m doing another pantry challenge. And I must admit that I haven’t used hazelnuts as much as I would like to. Hazelnuts and chocolate work so well together.
And somehow I couldn’t stop thinking about an ice cream idea with this kind of flavour combination. Since there are lots of vegan ice cream recipes on the blog already that require an ice-cream machine or double handling with a high-speed blender, I decided to try a semifreddo version. Less work and just as delicious was the concept 😉
And I must admit, the result was pretty impressive. I haven’t used the classic ingredients (or vegan alternatives for those). For example, this recipe would be ideal for additional aquafaba. But I killed my electric hand-mixer last year and since I’m trying to be as minimal as possible, I didn’t buy a new one. I simply don’t use it often enough to justify doing that.
I’m hoping to borrow an electric hand-mixer from a friend one day. Until then I’m happy to keep living without it as long as I can create delicious, creamy dreamy recipes like this one without it 🙂
As always, this recipe for hazelnut chocolate semifreddo is vegan, gluten-free and without refined sugar. And it proves again that one can make a creamy icy treat without dairy 🙂
Please note: I made this recipe a little sweeter this time. While I found it almost too sweet, all my test eaters found it to be juuuust right 🙂
…and please excuse the flood of photos to follow – they all looked soooo delicious, I had a really hard time choosing…and I wanted to share them all with you 🙂
For a 21cm loaf tin:
For the hazelnut ice cream:
1 1/4 cups (180g) hazelnuts
2 3/4 cups (690ml) water
1 1/4 cups (180g) dates
3 tablespoon tapioca (or potato or corn starch)
1/4 teaspoon ground vanilla
2 pinches salt
For the chocolate sauce:
1 tablespoon rice syrup
1 tablespoon nut or seed butter (I used almond)
1 tablespoon FAIR-TRADE cocoa powder
1 – 2 tablespoon water
Some extra chocolate sauce and chopped hazelnuts for garnish if desired
1. Roast the hazelnuts in a pan on medium-low heat. Stir occasionally. After about 10 minutes they should start to turn golden brown with the skin cracking.
2. Place them onto a clean tea towel and rub off the skins.
3. Place in blender, add water and blend until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and blend some more until the mixture gets quite hot.
4. In the meantime prepare the chocolate sauce by mixing all ingredients in a cup. Add just enough water to create a fairly thick, creamy sauce.
5. Line loaf tin with baking paper. Drizzle some of the chocolate sauce. then scoop in some of the hazelnut mixture. Repeat until its all finished up.
6. Place in fridge until it has cooled down. Then place in freezer for approx. 4 hours. If you leave it in the freezer for longer, let thaw for approx. 20 to 30 minutes before serving.
7. Turn it upside down onto a plate. Remove baking paper. Garnish if you like (I used some extra chocolate sauce and chopped hazelnuts). | <urn:uuid:59a80d7c-ce56-4149-84ad-3878b085d02b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://theveganmonster.com/en/haselnuss-schoko-semifreddo-vegan/ | 2020-09-20T04:55:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.914916 | 730 |

Whats Next For Conor Mcgregor? February 14, 2019 15:15
What’s next for Conor McGregor?
As we all heard, The rumor that is going around claims that Conor McGregor will face Cowboy Cerrone in his next bout. However, there is some interest from Conor’s side calling for the trilogy with Nate Diaz so they can settle the score.
That’s what i think of Conor’s future path:
I think a fight for Conor with Cerrone will be good for his career. Coming for his last loss against Khabib Nurmagomedov, This can be a good challenge for him that can prep him for a re-match with the undefeated UFC champ, Of course if he wins.
now his trilogy fight with Nate Diaz is not going anywhere, it will happen sooner or later. They both want it and for sure the fans would love to watch them settle their scores.
Let’s wait and see when there is a set date for his next fight, I personally would love to watch Conor get in the octagon and put on an exciting 1ON1 show with whoever he faces next.
What are your thoughts?

UFC 235 February 1, 2019 17:45
Who is excited for this stacked UFC Card besides us?!! 1ON1 Fam Pedro Munhoz will be facing former champ Cody Garbrandt.
Pedro Munhoz has been a part of the 1ON1 clothing even before entering the UFC. We witnessed his Journey since the beginning of his career and it has been nothing but outstanding.
Pedro broke the records in his UFC devision with his devastating submission game. Pedro is a scary black belt in Jiu Jitsu and has showcased his skills thru out his career.
Eventhough he is known for his ground game, he still impressed the crowd with his boxing and stand up game. In his last fight, he finished Brian Caraway in a first round via TKO.
We are beyond excited to him fight Cody Garbrandt on March 2 at UFC235.
How do you think this fight will end?

Allchurches Trust has made it fun to stay at the YMCA!
30 SEP 2019
Allchurches is proud to have given £100,000 to the new £6.8 million state-of-the-art school and youth centre at YMCA Lakeside in Cumbria.
YMCA Lakeside provides young people from around the UK with high quality residential and developmental outdoor education to increase self-empowerment, motivation, resilience and health.
Opened in the 1950s, on the banks of Lake Windermere, more than one million young people have participated in the centre’s transformative, instructor-led programmes, which include more than 50 outdoor water and land-based activities.
The new school and youth centre will increase the amount and quality of accommodation on the Stoller Campus and facilitate an additional 3,000 young people’s participation each year.
Allchurches Grants Officer, Peter Mojsa, said: ‘Having seen the huge impact YMCA Lakeside have had over many years on young people, we were really excited to provide significant financial support to help create this amazing space in this inspiring environment. It will enhance learning and development for a wide range of young people from schools, youth clubs, churches and colleges around the UK.”
The eco-friendly building incorporates hi-tech entrances, sophisticated security access, en-suite dormitory rooms, plus drying rooms for boots and outdoor gear. Its design minimises the visual impact on Lake Windermere, blending into the landscape at the heart of this iconic World Heritage Site. | <urn:uuid:4a5905e0-0b9a-4e7d-a279-492503f0e923> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.allchurches.co.uk/news/allchurches-trust-has-made-it-fun-to-stay-at-the-ymca/ | 2020-09-20T04:23:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.951761 | 329 |
These are some of the issues that Woody Jenkins and I discussed Sunday morning hours after Edwards led all candidates in the primary elections.
Surviving for the runoff bout is Edwards and Vitter who bested Republicans Scott Angelle and Jay Dardenne.
Jenkins, started his political career in 1972 when he was in college. He represented the Baton Rouge area as a State Representative for 28 years and ran for US Senator, three times.
Currently, he operates Capitol region newspapers and is the President of the East Baton Rouge Republican Party.
In part one of our Sunday morning Google Hangout interview, Jenkins discussed what calls the myth-- that a Democratic candidate would not be able to win a statewide election. In fact, he said that Edwards is a “much more formidable candidate” than those who recently have run under the Democrat banner.
He also said Vitter did not perform as well as the polls his campaign had been promoting. To win, since Vitter is 17 points behind the Democrat, the US Senator needs to pull conservative forces together.
Jenkins, no stranger to tough emotional campaigns also feels that the current gubernatorial match could turn out to be as dirty as the election classic David Duke versus Edwin Edwards match of 1991.
Here is the first video. You will definitely want to watch all three fascinating videos.
In part two of the interview, Jenkins discussed the policy differences between the two candidates. Jenkins paper had posed 70 written questions to all four candidates. Vitter responded in writing, Edwards answered them via live interview.
Jenkins cited similarities between the two candidates. However, he likewise noted eight major policy differences important to conservatives ---Real ID, balanced budget amendment, Medicaid expansion, welfare work requirement, minimum wage, anchor babies, planned parenthood and City of St. George School District.
Despite Edward’s more reported moderate views and similarities of policies, Jenkiins stated that Vitter is the real conservative in the race.
In part 3, Jenkins discussed a range of issues including the below:
Obama-Edwards vs. Jindal-Vitter associations, negative ads, whether Edwards is really a liberal as Vitter and others have tried to portray him, what the candidates must do to win, likeability factors of both candidates, positive and negative impacts Super PAC might have on the election, whether Vitter will want to debate compared to the primary election, the respective roles of Scott Angelle and Jay Dardenne (two former GOP gubernatorial candidates), role of Mitch Landrieu and the late-minute attacks against Vitter.

Congratulations on having (or about to have) breast augmentation and thank you for allowing us the opportunity to have this experience with you!
There is some information we would like to prepare you with for your recovery. We understand that having surgery can cause you to have great concerns, but please know that we are here for you anytime, anywhere, for anything! So please be sure to contact us with any questions you may have, and know that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Additionally, we would love to see you for your appointed follow-up visits as it allows us to check your status of recovery, results and tailor your personalized post-recovery instructions.
First and foremost, please understand that you have been through a lot perhaps physically, and emotionally. It is crucial that you rest, and have somebody with you for the first 24 hours. When you rest, lay on your back with slight elevation. One to two pillows behind your head/neck/back is ideal, but whatever feels comfortable. To alleviate lower back pressure and also to prevent you from rolling onto your side or back, you might want to even place a pillow(s) under your knees. We suggest that you NOT lie on your breast for a few weeks following surgery. (You probably will feel like you don’t even want to.) It is certainly ok to get up and walk around safely, and at a slower pace. Walking will increase your blood-flow and circulation, which is good, but do not exhaust yourself.
Drink plenty of fluids. Keep yourself hydrated. Start with a soft, bland diet (i.e., breads, soups, crackers, etc), to ensure better digestion, and hopefully prevent nausea. These following symptoms are possible side effects from surgery, anesthesia, and/or or post op prescription medications: constipation, nausea, dizziness, irregular menstruation, fatigue, and even feeling “emotional”. Do not dismay, all things need time to run their course and adjust. Please be patient…things will get better. Should you have ANY symptoms or concerns, please contact us immediately. Should you consider any matter to be an emergency, (i.e. fever, severe and rapidly expanding pain, severe redness and/or rash, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, extensive and continual bleeding, etc) please use your best judgment and call 911 or report to the nearest hospital if you are unable to reach us.
It is important not to engage in any strenuous activity or exercise for the first week. Further instructions will be given to you after you have been seen by Dr. Danielpour and Dr. Layke for your appointed follow up(s). Typically, between 4-6 weeks post surgery, you should be able to engage in most all activities with no limitations…but YOU and YOUR BODY will let you know what feels right or comfortable. We suggest you ease back into the swing of things to allow yourself to build back your strength.
Immediately following your surgery, your breast might not look exactly how you envisioned them to be. This is normal. It will take some time for your swelling to subside, your tissue to expand, your breast to settle and take the best shape and placement. Also, you might need some time to adjust mentally to your physical changes as well. We will teach you how to massage your breast and care for your incisions when the timing for you to do so is most appropriate (usually starting one week after your surgery).
Further instructions and information will be given as you progress with your recovery. Please be sure to schedule and attend your follow up appointments to ensure your highest opportunity of satisfaction and well-being. Call us anytime with any questions you may have. 310.853.5147 | <urn:uuid:f631067d-8433-45f0-b927-941d4bfd5f2a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.beverlyhillsplasticsurgerygroup.com/blog/post-surgical-care-instructions-regarding-breast-augmentation-with-bhpsg/ | 2020-09-20T03:51:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.958938 | 772 |
Rescuing Memory Using Cell-type Specific Reactivation of Memory Network Activity
You remember where you put your car keys after work. And you remember how to drive to your work place, of course. These abilities rely on a type of memory called spatial memory. If you lose spatial memory, you will be in trouble when you look for your keys the next day or drive all over town looking for your work place. 60% of Alzheimer’s patients lose spatial memory and show wandering behavior.
In 2014, Drs. John O’Keefe, Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery of the brain cells responsible for spatial memory, called “place cells” and “grid cells”. These cells are part of the brain's memory circuit and are critical for spatial memory in healthy rodents and humans. However, it is still unclear what happens to these cells in AD patients. Are place cells and grid cells lost in Alzheimer’s? If so, is it possible to restore the spatial memory of AD patients by reactivating place cells and grid cells? We will use cutting-edge electrophysiological and circuit manipulation techniques to answer these questions in animal models of AD.
In the previous decades, AD research has been mainly focusing on identifying proteins and neuronal cells involved in pathogenesis. Brain network mechanisms that cause memory impairments in AD have not been well investigated. However, basic systems neuroscience has advanced dramatically since 2000. We will leverage this knowledge and technical improvements systems neuroscience to understand AD pathogenesis. We will identify which types of cells in the brain's memory circuitry degrade in AD, and will identify why such deterioration of brain cells causes memory impairment. Our studies will significantly advance our understanding of the brain network mechanisms of memory impairment in AD, and will help identify target networks to prevent or slow the progression of disease. These studies are expected to help us develop effective procedures for brain stimulation as a powerful tool to preserve (or improve) memory function to slow the rate of memory decline in AD patients.
About the Researcher
Dr. Kei Igarashi received his PhD in systems neuroscience from the University of Tokyo School of Medicine. Dr. Igarashi then moved to Norway in 2009 for his postdoctoral fellowship to work in the lab of Drs. Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. There, Dr. Igarashi published seminal works showing how two brain regions, the entorhinal cortex and hippocampus, interact to form memory. These works, published in prestigious scientific journals including Nature and Neuron (Igarashi et al., Nature 2014; Li, Igarashi et al., Neuron 2015), contributed to Drs. Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser’s Nobel prize in 2014. In 2016, Dr. Igarashi moved to University of California, Irvine, to lead a research group on AD and mechanisms of memory. His lab has a longstanding record of innovation. At UC Irvine, Dr. Igarashi is currently an assistant professor. In addition to the strong support from BrightFocus Foundation, Dr. Igarashi’s work is also supported by awards from Brain Research Foundation, Japanese Government, Donors Cure Foundation, and National Institute of Health.
I started my career as a basic neuroscientist studying brain circuit mechanisms related to the sense of smell and then memory. While I was studying on basic research during my PhD, my grandmother, Yuriko, started to show symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. She was 78 at that time.
One day, she said “I put my purse here, but it’s gone! You stole my purse!”. Imagine how sad if your dearest grandma starts to doubt you. She was starting to lose her spatial memory and could not remember where she put it. We brought her to a doctor, even though she strongly refused. At that time, she was not diagnosed as Alzheimer’s, but as we anticipated, she was diagnosed a year later.
There were no drugs approved for Alzheimer’s disease in Japan at that time. All we could do for her is to have fun together; to prevent her brain from worsening. We often brought her to short trips (picture 1).
These efforts were, however, in vain. She started to lose personal recognition at 84. I was the one of first people she could not recognize. She called me “teacher”. “Hello teacher, you have a beautiful baby” she said, when I visited her at her senior residence to show off my first baby. She loved my baby, but could not recognize that the baby was her first great-grandchild.
I went out from the country to study more after that and was only able to visit once a year. She started to use diapers. Every time I visited her, she did not recognize me. I was asking myself, "Am I visiting her for her sake, or for my own sake?" At 89, she lost recognition of my mother, her own daughter. Now she was all alone.
She passed away at 93. Alzheimer’s disease completely killed her personality, long before she passed away.
I could not do anything for her, even though I AM A MEMORY RESEARCHER. This frustration is keep driving me to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
Alzheimer’s disease is a disease that we need to cure.

A garage boss left a customer needing hospital treatment by putting tyre cleaning fluid into his water bottle as a prank.
Victim Alan Dobinson took his car to former colleague Kevin Burlinson’s garage for an oil change.
Burlinson, who runs KB Tyres, in Sunderland, deciced to play a trick on Mr Dobinson by adding the cleaning fluid to a bottle of flavoured water in his car.
After the unsuspecting customer picked up the car the next day, he took a drink from the bottle and felt a burning sensation in his mouth and throat and had to go to hospital.
Burlinson, 53, was originally charged with administering a poison or noxious substance with intent but that was dropped and prosecutors accepted a guilty plea to the lesser charge of common assault.
A judge said the prank was an “act of gross stupidity” as he sentenced Burlinson to a conditional discharge for 12 months with a £100 compensation order.
Judge Robin Mairs, at Newcastle Crown Court, told him: “It is a personal shame for you that at 53 you find yourself in the dock of a criminal court.
“You are a man of good character, a decent, hard working man.
“You played a prank, or what you thought would be a prank, of putting tyre cleaner into a water bottle of a friend.
“I am quite satisfied you had no intention to cause him any serious harm.
“It was an act of gross stupidity.”
Prosecutor Kevin Wardlaw told the court Mr Dobinson had left his car overnight at Burlinson’s garage.
Mr Wardlaw said: “While the vehicle was left there, the defendant placed chemical tyre cleaner into a bottle of flavoured water in the vehicle.
“The next day, Mr Burlinson picked the vehicle up.
“He drank some of it and got a burning sensation and discomfort in his mouth and throat.”
The court heard the symptoms rectified themselves after three hours.
The judge said he accepted Burlinson is genuinely sorry for what he did that day.
Burlinson told police in interview he was “ashamed and shocked” at what happened and said he was genuinely sorry. | <urn:uuid:0576c8fc-4993-4b91-9aba-a298306d4f62> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/sunderland-garage-boss-spikes-customers-10227075 | 2020-09-20T05:22:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.983508 | 470 |

TATA Group chairman emeritus Ratan Tata has been awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Manchester for his contribution to innovation and philanthropy.
The UK university said the doctorate was presented to the 82-year-old industrialist in Mumbai recently during the India tour of the university’s president and vice chancellor, Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell.
“Ratan is inspirational,” said Rothwell. “For him, philanthropy and innovation are spokes of the same wheel, each leading towards the improvement of lives which is the very same ethos we share at the University of Manchester
“He is an example to big business, small enterprise, to researchers and developers, those who give and those who can give more. We believe that he will be an example to our students as they grow to become global citizens.”
The university’s citation noted that under Tata’s leadership, from 1991 to 2012, the group had become a global name and one of the largest conglomerates in the world, with the acquisition of major international brands such as Tetley, Daewoo, Corus, Jaguar and Land Rover.
The varsity said the honorary doctorate recognised Tata’s commitment to social responsibility and philanthropy.
“Ratan has equally made a deep impact in philanthropy through the Tata Trusts, which he chairs. Under his guidance, the different Trusts, set up over time by Tata family members since 1892, have come together as a unified operating entity to target their talent and resources to pursue important causes that are good for India.
“Some of the most important causes Ratan has championed are nutrition, sanitation, cancer care, rural poverty alleviation, and social entrepreneurship,” the citation noted.
“Social Responsibility is one of Manchester’s three core strategic goals sitting equally alongside our commitments to world-class research, and outstanding learning and student experience,” it said. | <urn:uuid:eb5477cd-b28c-4f79-a046-f470ec556215> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.easterneye.biz/university-of-manchester-awards-honorary-doctorate-to-ratan-tata/ | 2020-09-20T04:53:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.961734 | 402 |

The curator at The Tank Museum in Dorset has told Forces News it would be a mistake if the British Army decided to get rid of its tanks.
It follows a report by The Times which suggested military chiefs are considering plans to scrap the Army's fleet of Challenger 2 tanks and Warrior armoured fighting vehicles to focus on new capabilities, such as cyber warfare.
David Willey told Forces News the tank is "still a very credible weapons system" and is likely to continue to be for "decades to come".
"If we want to 'remain in the game'... if we want to have a credible defence, tanks are still part of that make-up that means you’re a serious army," he said.
"Even though they’ve been around for 100 years, they have something about them, not just their psychological impact, but the fact they’ve got mobility, the fact they’ve got firepower, the fact they’ve got protection – they’re three things soldiers have wanted for thousands of years.
"It’s very hard to see any army in the future not requiring that.
"Of course if they go, they go, but if anyone argues they’ve come to the end of their working life – look on the news, look around the world, tanks are being used all over the place still."
He added tanks are "the epitome" of what he calls "hard power", and their all-round ability makes them unparalleled as a battlefield force.
The report by The Times claimed the Government is to look at the plans as the cost of upgrading the vehicles has soared.
It said the UK is now "sounding out" NATO partners for an overhaul in its contribution to the military alliance and is hoping to focus on taking a new leadership role in attack aviation - offering all of its 50 Apache helicopters to the allies.
Mr Willey said despite the Apache's capability, it still cannot replace some of the work done by tanks.
He said: "Apache has to leave the battlefield, a tank can remain on the battlefield, so it can hold ground.
"Apache looks dramatic, looks fantastic, you or I could attack it with a tin opener and do a lot of damage. You’re not going to do that with a Challenger tank."
"It [Apache] has stunningly good presence but it’s still not like when people turn up with tanks - quite often it stops the fight even breaking out," he continued.
Mr Willey also pointed out how other NATO nations are in fact strengthening their tank fleet, rather than reducing it.
He warned the UK must "tread very carefully" as it may not be part of NATO forever.
"Really seriously, without a tank you are at a major disadvantage in many situations," he continued.
According to reports, the move is part of proposals to radically modernise the UK Armed Forces.
While Mr Willey admitted tanks might not last forever, he said right now there is "very little that can replace the tank". | <urn:uuid:a41c6ff1-6b1b-4b6b-ab80-91e0dacc448a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.forces.net/news/does-britain-need-tanks-have-credible-defence?utm_source=Forces+Newsletter&utm_campaign=a3426cbef2-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2020_08_26_05_16&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_25712c5f6f-a3426cbef2-441051151 | 2020-09-20T04:23:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.973858 | 634 |

Opioids can impair the immune system and lead to illnesses such as meningitis and pneumonia.
Taking prescription opioids may significantly increase a person’s risk of developing dangerous infections that could lead to meningitis and pneumonia, according to a new study out today.
Doctors have known for years that prescription opioids can suppress the immune system. But they weren’t sure exactly which infections these patients were at increased risk of contracting.
The researchers used the Tennessee Medicaid database and the Active Bacterial Core surveillance system to see what links they could find between opioid use and bacterial disease.
Andrew Wiese, PhD, MPH, a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of health policy at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and lead author of the study, said researchers wanted to better understand the side effects of prescription opioid use.
Studies “have shown that certain opioids can cause immunosuppression,” he said. “They can disrupt the innate immune system.”
Wiese and his co-authors looked at 1,233 patients with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and compared them to 24,399 control participants.
They found those with IPD were more likely to be using a prescription opioid than the control group. More than 25 percent of those with IPD were on opioids, compared to 14 percent of the control group.
They also found that patients with IPD were more likely to be using long-acting, high-potency opioids.
Pneumococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. In invasive cases, the disease can lead to serious complications, such as meningitis, invasive pneumonia, or bacteremia, the spreading of bacteria into the bloodstream.
Wiese said he hoped the research would help both doctors and patients be better informed about prescription opioid risks.
“I think for both providers who prescribe opioids and for patients that receive opioids, this is more information that they should consider when making the decision to prescribe or receive opioids,” Wiese said.
Dr. Amy Edwards, an infectious disease physician at the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, said that doctors still don’t have a lot of options in terms of pain reliever medication.
“We’re basically limited to opioids and Tylenol. There’s not a lot in between,” she told Healthline. “It does tie our hands to a certain extent that there’s not a lot of variety out there.”
While she said that study findings weren’t surprising, she thought they added to a growing body of research on how opioids affect the immune system. She said she hoped in the future that research could clarify which opioids are less likely to impact the immune system.
“One thing that I think would be very interesting… would be, are there opioids that do this more and ones that do this less?” she said.
She pointed out that clear information on which opioids are safer could be key for doctors treating intubated patients in an ICU setting.
Dr. Alan Mensch, senior vice president of medical affairs at Northwell Health’s Plainview and Syosset Hospitals in New York, said these findings could be especially worrying in light of the ongoing opioid crisis.
An explosion of opioid use, especially illicit opioid use, in recent years has led to tens of thousands of fatal overdoses annually.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are 115 fatal overdoses from opioids every day.
Mensch pointed out these IV drug users may be especially immunocompromised and at risk for these complications.
“I don’t know if anyone has looked at it, but it would be an interesting thing to look at,” he said. “We should be more concerned about [this] community… IV drug users getting more infections,” he told Healthline. | <urn:uuid:d1ba41b9-bae8-415b-8b55-b34f52702cc6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.healthline.com/health-news/prescription-opioids-increase-risk-of-serious-infection | 2020-09-20T05:28:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.957601 | 815 |

A halogen lamp is a type of indoor light fixture designed to burn at a high temperature to produce a brighter, cooler light than typical incandescent lamps. Because they can emit high levels of light from smaller bulbs, halogen lamps are popular in small, enclosed spaces. However, halogen lamps occasionally do not work as expected. Learn specific troubleshooting strategies to fix a halogen lamp and make your home a brighter place.
Check that the halogen lamp is plugged into a reliable electrical outlet. Flickering or occasionally dimming of the light may point to unreliable wiring or poor circuitry in the outlet. Check that the halogen lamp's voltage rating matches the rating in your home. The lamp's rating is typically stamped on its box or the base of the lamp stand. Some older homes may not have enough voltage to illuminate newer halogen lamp models fully, resulting in less-than-optimum illumination.
Inspect the light bulb if it does not illuminate, or if it sparks, flickers or dims. A halogen lamp uses a tungsten filament incandescent bulb. Over time, the filament can burn out or fail to burn at a consistent rate. Such problems are often highlighted by a darkened tungsten filament or a smoky film coating the inside of the bulb's glass. Replace faulty light bulbs with new bulbs.
Verify that the halogen lamp is assembled properly, if you notice the lamp swaying or falling. Many large lamps, such as the torch-style lamps, require some home assembly. Verify that the lamp's body is securely screwed into its base and that the top of the lamp does not wobble. Secure the lamp against a wall for added safety and to protect against fire hazards if the lamp falls to the ground.
Check the lamp's wiring and environment if your lamp suffers from consistent short life. Halogen light bulbs burning out quickly are often caused by poor wiring in the house or in the lamp itself. In addition, high levels of moisture in and around the lamp can cause the bulbs to short-circuit or even crack.
Due to their propensity to start fires, limit halogen light bulbs to 300 watts or less.

Talking to patients on the phone can be very efficient and quite rewarding, like when I called a worried patient today and told her that her chest CT showed an improving pneumonia and almost certainly no cancer, but a repeat scan some months down the road would still be a good idea. She told me she was feeling better, but still quite weak and that her sputum was still dark yellow. So, while still on the phone, I e-prescribed a different antibiotic, after going over her long list of allergies with her.
But as a primary care doctor with a productivity target of 24 patients per day, and absolutely no credit for phone calls, this is not something I am incentivized to do.
So instead, I am tempted to resort to the internal EMR messages:
“Mrs. Jones is looking for her CT results. Please advise.”
I could have typed in what to tell he patient, but then when the medical assistant had her on the phone, she probably (hopefully) would have mentioned that she was still raising dark yellow sputum. The medical assistant would then tell her she’d check with me and get back to her.
Would I have remembered that the levofloxacin the ER gave her caused horrific nightmares if I hadn’t been engaged in conversation with her? Maybe I would have just tried to refill that?
How many back and forth messages would it take to handle something as simple as this, and how many times would the medical assistant need to call the patient back to get all the necessary information?
If all work we do was recognized as work, if Medicare and Medicaid paid our clinics for phone calls, doctors would have time in their schedules to personally return patient calls. (Medicare does, but so far only for people we sign up for chronic care management where they will incur monthly copays for this “added service,” mostly designed for nurse calls.)
Some commercial insurers now do pay for phone calls, but in Federally Qualified Health Centers, where I work, private insurance is such a minor portion of our payer mix that their reimbursement policies are close to irrelevant for our bottom line.
The struggle in primary care is that right now, we get paid “per visit” with very little regard to “outcomes,” but very soon, our clinics will prosper or perish depending on how well our patients do and how much they cost “the system.” I talk with my bosses every week about how we can make this transition without losing our shirts.
Mrs. Jones, if I hadn’t called her myself, might have gone back to the emergency room several days later, in terrible shape, required admission to the hospital, and incurred thousands of dollars of cost. My doxycycline prescription may have avoided that.
And, being able to personally get back to patients fosters loyalty and provides levels of reassurance that only come with the role of the physician.
Darn it, that’s what I am, and that is what I need to provide as much as I can of.

Decision-making can be difficult, especially after stress or traumatic events, like the COVID-19 pandemic.
We’re all been through a tumultuous past few months. The threat from the virus continues and the need for caution is ongoing.
While public health advice guides us, there are still decisions each of us must make particular to our own personal circumstance.
When to return to the office? Should I visit the city from my remote or regional area? Do I want to attend a party, funeral or wedding? How to care for my elderly parents? Should I catch a bus?
These types of choices involve levels of decision making about what is safe for ourselves, our family, friends and communities.
Decision-making during recovery
Our emergency teams have been through many disasters and emergencies and out of these have insights into safe decision-making, which we share here. | <urn:uuid:b8a0adb4-d83c-40e4-a903-ba54409d780b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.redcross.org.au/stories/covid-19/safe-return | 2020-09-20T04:31:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.957827 | 181 |

Over the last several days I have been in a place that is very familiar and yet I realized I no longer wanted to go here. But what was here? And how did I come about these feelings of being very sad, almost lost. Why did I feel so…”what is it God?” “What is this feeling that I know so well and yet unidentifiable?” “God I need you to show me because if I don’t get to the root of it I will continue to return to this place of bad feelings, of sadness, of feeling insecure.”
That was it!!! I have been feeling SO insecure about everything. But why? Where was my insecurities coming from?
Insecurity is the lack of feeling safe. It’s a feeling of not being “good enough”. It’s the fear of being discovered as inadequate. It’s a perception of life that is unpredictable with most of the expectations you have to meet not clearly understood. It’s a sense of lacking support or reinforcement. Insecurity is living with a sense of being unaccepted, disapproved or rejected. It’s an inner turmoil coming from a lack of direction or bewilderment as to where you are going, what your goals are and what responses are appropriate for events in life. (www.livestrong.com)
As I read the above description of being insecure I thought “wow that is really me at the moment.” I have lived in a place in the last year where I haven’t always felt I knew what was expected of me. I often do feel as if no matter what I do it’s just not good enough, that I am inadequate and every mistake or failure would reinforce that belief.
But why? I mean, these are LIES. So why would I believe them? Why would I entertain them in my mind? The more I allow my thoughts to go here the more my life and actions will live out these beliefs.
I need to face the lies.
What are these thoughts that go through my mind? As I pray, and seek I realize that these lies of insecurity are thoughts effect several areas of life.
In my work I feel as if “I can never accomplish the task facing me. Everybody is just waiting for me to make a fool of myself. No one could ever like, respect or accept me.I failed them in the past; therefore, I am a failure today. Once a failure, always a failure.Why would anyone care to hear what I say, how I feel or what I think?”
In my relationships I often feel that “No one really cares about me. I don't deserve to be treated nicely. I don’t trust my ability to retain someone's love for a long period of time. I deserve to be rejected. There is something wrong with me and when you see it you will reject me.”
In some form or another these are the thoughts that will often plague my mind at various times in my life.
Where do the lies come from?
Many face feelings of insecurity because of the lack of feeling safe growing up. They were made to feel bad about themselves, not hearing words of encouragement, love or assurance from those placed over them. Their mistakes were pointed out constantly. An insecure person may have grown up with unrealistic lists of rules and expectations that weren’t always defined and they were made to feel they could never attain them.
As a mature believer in Christ I can see these are lies and are not true of what Christ says about me and yet, why do I so often live in this kind of belief system?
Many of us, including myself, have not always understood that the lies told us in the past still influence how we think and live TODAY. The enemy understands this all to well and will use it against us every time. He will remind us of past lies told, past failures and unless we fight this assault on our minds we will forever live a life of feeling insecure.
So what now?
I need, (we all need) to go to the source of truth. What does God’s WORD say? What does He say about a lack of self confidence or a fear of rejection? What does God have to say about failure or feelings of not being worthy to love?
I can’t possibly list all the truths to speak into these lies so I am going to trust that if you struggle with any of these that you WILL GO to God’s word and see for yourself what God says. Then once you find those truths take up the word and USE IT against the enemy.
For example when I start to believe that I am not worthy to love or that I deserve to be rejected I can speak what I know God says. He says “He loves me with and everlasting love and that He has drawn me with lovingkindness” (Jer 31:3) That I am His BELOVED…even when I was NOT BELOVED. (Rom 9:25) That means that when I was unlovely, and in sin God CHOSE to love me and NOTHING can separate me from the love of God. (Rom 8)
Oh my dear sisters, be willing to face your insecurities, name them, speak truth into them and then keep speaking truth. The fact is other people may say things or do things that make me feel insecure at times but it does not have to have any power over our feelings or thoughts if we hold them up to what God says.
You see when I have a proper view of myself through the eyes of God, when I am able to speak God’s truth, then I am also able to speak truth into the situation. For example if I am feeling that a dear sister is distancing herself, or upset with me, or whatever… then I can be confident in God’s truth of who I am and then go to her with my feelings of insecurity if I need to.
Sisters, let’s stop allowing our insecurities to keep us from relationships that God desires us to have in our lives. Fight for them, fight the lies of the enemy. Speak the truth of God to yourself. | <urn:uuid:d72768d1-7b61-4ef7-b4f3-1bfa113ffe52> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.sharonbrobst.com/2010/06/facing-insecurities.html | 2020-09-20T04:48:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.972923 | 1,307 |
In February each year we invite our property partners, from all over the world, to London for the SilverDoor Party. It’s our opportunity to show our appreciation to all of the amazing people we work with every single day and say thank you for their continued support.
In 2017, we introduced the SilverDoor Partner Awards as a way of highlighting the outstanding achievements of our property partners. The awards operate a little differently than others in the business travel industry. There’s no submission process, no deadlines for entry and no tickets required.
Instead, we survey all 130 SilverDoor employees from all three international offices and ask them to vote for who they think should win the SilverDoor Partner Awards. After all, it’s our employees who work with our partners every day, spend their time viewing thousands of apartments every year and collaborate on exciting projects.
We think this is the fairest way of operating the awards and we hope you agree that this year’s winners are certainly deserving of recognition!
So, with that said, here is the first in a series of posts where we catch up with the SilverDoor Partner Award winners to reflect on their achievement and find out what exciting projects they have in the pipeline.
First up, Craig Barton from SACO – worthy winners of Best New Property for their dazzling design-led aparthotel Whitworth Locke.
How was it to win the SilverDoor Partner Award for Best New Property?
“So exciting and unexpected! We only opened in November and it just shows how special Whitworth Locke is that it was recognised by our lovely partners at SilverDoor despite only operating for just a few months. The property will continue to get better and better as time progresses and we hope SilverDoor will remain a key client for us.”
What is it about Whitworth Locke that makes it an award-winning property?
“It is really special. It combines the history and industrial architecture of the Manchester cotton mills, with the modern design-led lifestyle branding that Locke is famous for throughout the industry. It’s completely unique in style, in its on-site facilities and its ability to cater for all people and all requirements.”
There seems to be lots of exciting new Locke developments coming up, can you tell me a bit about them?
“Yes, there are lots of exciting plans underway. Locke’s portfolio includes three open aparthotels—one in London, one in Manchester and one in Edinburgh. Next year we’ll be opening two locations in Dublin, with Ormond Locke in Q1 and Beckett Locke following later in the year. We’ll also have properties in Lisbon, London (Dalston and Broken Wharf), Cambridge and Berlin in the pipeline too.”
With a number of operators opening competing aparthotels, what makes the Locke brand unique?
“Locke is more than an aparthotel – it’s an experience. Locke is design-led living with a focus on style and creativity. It is also the only lifestyle brand operating in the aparthotel sector. We ensure we have regular events on-site to bring people together and we try to reach out to the community as much as possible working with local artists and businesses to promote the community.”
Apart from winning the award, how was the rest of the SilverDoor Party 2019?
“We love SilverDoor and the party was great fun! I was so happy to get an invitation this year on behalf of the Locke brand and look forward to 2020!”

Along while cookie cutter mass market pop faire heard in the airwaves today one are able to hear songs from previous eras. On the list of bands who have returned after a period of absence are people who though older have never stopped making music, one such band is Kool and the Gang. Robert "Kool" Bell and his brother Ronald have been making music since 1964 under various names. Originally called The Jazziacs and later Kool and the Flames, produced by a mix up with a golf owner that dubbed this rock band Kool and the Gang. Four decades later many of the band's original members remain with the audience. On Sept. 2 the American pop rock band the Jonas Brothers announced headlining tour dates to the official website for late 2013.

What a moment for the triple-premiership Hawk!
As the home and away season begins to wrap up, star players will be rewarded for their achievements during the year at events like the All-Australian selection night, NAB Rising Star and of course the Brownlow Medal.
Despite these events allowing players to gain the recognition from the league, they fail to address some of the key areas of the game.
Sometimes incredible seasons go under the radar and players efforts are not fully recognised. Therefore, I have come up with my own awards, similar to the NBA and NFL, designed to highlight the incredible achievements this year.
Rookie of the Year – Sam Walsh
Although the league already has the NAB Rising Star award, it doesn’t have the same ring as Rookie of the Year does. However, both the Rising Star and Rookie of the Year have a clear winner: Carlton’s Sam Walsh.
Heading into the 2019 season, there was much hype about Sam Walsh due to his obvious talent and potential, which was bound to bring pressure. But since his debut of 24 touches, Walsh has not missed a beat and is head and shoulders about every other rookie this year.
Although he may not have the flair and excitement of players like Sydney Stack and Connor Rozee, he makes up for this with his hard marathon-like running and possession-getting across the ground.
At 19 years of age he’s already gaining high praise and looks set for an amazing career at Carlton. He’s exactly the kind of player that Carlton need, and further development will just make him better and better.
Also nominated – Connor Rozee, Sydney Stack, Bailey Smith
Defensive Player of the Year – Dayne Zorko
Defenders traditionally lack any recognition when it comes to Brownlow night and not since Jim Stynes (a ruckman) in 1991 has a midfielder not won the medal.
Therefore, I decided to give recognition to the defensive side of the game. Although it’s well known that the work of defenders is not often shown on highlight reels and very rarely brings in memberships, it is an integral part of the sport of AFL and should be recognised.
Saying that, I am totally going to contradict myself and give this award to Brisbane captain Dayne Zorko. The pressure midfielder currently sits at No.1 in pressure acts and tackles inside 50. He also sits at No.3 in overall tackles and is viewed as one of few elite tackling players in the league.
Although this may not be viewed as a traditional defensive role, his role in containing the ball in their forward half has made them the best offensive team in the league.
Also nominated – Aliir Aliir, Mark Blicavs, Harris Andrews
Most Improved – Jordan Dawson
In 2018, Jordan Dawson struggled to get a game out of the Swans but his overall improvement this year has almost made him the first name on the team sheet each weekend.
At 22 years of age, Dawson is far from his maximum potential but his development in 2019 has been notable. It’s often stated that the Swans are a developing team and Dawson is a leading example of how much this team has improved in 2019.
Although players like James Worpel and Tim Taranto have improved immensely this year, Dawson has found a new utility role with the Swans and now has the capability to play in any area across the ground.
Dawson’s kicking efficiency is the most notable part of his game and is become more vital for the Swans coming out of the defensive 50. But on the other hand, his ability to go forward and find a goal is equally impressive. Continued improvement for Jordan Dawson and the rest of the young Swans will make them a formidable opponent in coming years.
Also nominated – Tim Taranto, James Worpel, Aaron Naughton
Sixth Man of the Year – Jeremy Finlayson
Traditionally this award is given to the best player that comes of the bench, but as the game of AFL involves all 22 players constantly throughout the game, I’ve had to adjust the criteria for this award. Thus, this award goes to the player at a club that maybe isn’t always the well-known superstar or the vote-getter on Brownlow night but the player that is still just a vital for their team’s success.
It easy to justify giving this to a midfielder as many clubs do not struggle with midfield depth, but I couldn’t look past Jeremy Finlayson for this award.
Throughout the year, the Greater Western Sydney Giants were described as the most potent attack in the league due to their vast range of scoring options. Although Jeremy Cameron is their main scoring option inside 50, the efforts of Jeremy Finlayson really caught my eye.
Moving from the defence to the forward line in 2019, Finlayson has provided the Giants a perfect second option when kicking for goal. Accumulating 36 goals so far this season and currently sitting 11th in the Coleman race, Finlayson has had a very underestimated year in his new role.
As a former defender, his overhead mark is where he excels and allows the Giants to worry opposition defenders as they have no idea if the ball is coming for Cameron or Finlayson. Since coming out of the side due to injury the last few weeks, it’s obvious that the Giants have become very one-dimensional and this just highlights the importance of Finlayson’s role.
Also nominated – Jack Macrae, Ed Curnow, Mitch Robinson
Coach of the Year – Chris Fagan
After years of pain and suffering at the bottom of the ladder, Brisbane Lions fans finally have something to be excited about come September. During the pre-season there was some talk that Brisbane were heading for a successful season, but I don’t think anyone could predict them securing a home final. And this is due to the work of Chris Fagan and his coaching staff.
Credit to Chris Fagan, who has stuck to his same game plan throughout all these years before results finally began to show in 2019. Many coaches of developing teams panic when it comes to adjusting their game plan, but Fagan’s temperament has now started to pay dividends.
The Lions are still such a young team and all clubs know that it’s a different game come September, but Fagan’s work is truly impressive and could make the Lions the most daunting team to play for the next decade.
Also nominated – Rhyce Shaw, Alastair Clarkson, Chris Scott
Comeback player of the Year – Travis Boak
Realistically the only player that is eligible for an award like this is Shane Mumford, but as his season is nothing spectacular, I couldn’t bring myself to grant him this award. Thus, I decided to make this award more directed at the older generation of players and those players who are still providing their teams great leadership and performances as they edge closer to retirement.
Port Adelaide is very much an in-between team, in the sense that they have the talent to compete with any other side but don’t always manage to produce it on the day. One exception to that this year is Travis Boak.
There is no doubt that historically Boak has been a highly consistent player for the Power but has seemed to take it a step above this season. Since stepping away from the captaincy this season, the pressure has been taken off and he has returned to career best form.
Averaging 31 disposals and five tackles this year, Boak can still be considered as an elite midfielder and even at 31 years of age, he still plays a vital role at the Power. Capable of a few more seasons, Port fans will be hoping that this form can continue as it will go a long way for their team’s development.
Also nominated – Luke Hodge, David Mundy, Gary Ablett
MVP – Patrick Cripps
Although the Brownlow Medal recognises the league’s best and fairest, it fails to address the small thing that makes a player truly valuable to their team’s success. If you look at the Brownlow Medal counts from previous years, there is an obvious correlation between team success and individual accolades, hence why I’m looking for players that give real value to their team and their overall success.
As the AFL is not lacking in talent with some of the game’s best ever talents playing today, it may be hard to give this award. However, when looking at season 2019, it is impossible to look past Patrick Cripps.
Throughout the year, Cripps battled form and the weight of captaincy. However, when Cripps was on top of his game, the Carlton side was notably better. Some of the highlights throughout the year from Cripps include 39 touches and seven tackles in Round 19 and 38 touches and four goals in Round 12. Notably, both these mammoth games came in Carlton wins against much higher ranked opponents in Adelaide and Brisbane, which proves how valuable Cripps can be in the success of the club.
Standing at 195 centimetres and weighing 90 kilograms, Cripps is built like a traditional half forward but due to his impressive athleticism and strength, he finds himself as one of the game’s best midfielders. Cripps is the one of the league’s most exciting players to watch, but his unique style and ability to dominate the game makes him the league’s most valuable player for season 2019.

Classification of sink drains
1. Pressure drainpipe
Although ram drains look better, ram drains are more likely to stick to some dirt and require the entire drain to be unscrewed for a thorough cleaning, which can be slightly more complicated to operate and not very convenient to use. If the drainer is unscrewed and then reinstalled, it may be loose and not secure.
2. Flip-down drains
Flap drains can be rotated at will to allow water to leak out of the basin. When the flip-flop drainer is used for a long time, the airtightness will decrease, resulting in the inability to hold water in the basin. Or there is no rotation; flipper type drainer has a simple structure, easy to clean and easy to replace.
3. Leak-type drains
Drain-type drains are also relatively simple in construction, similar to kitchen sinks. The disassembly and installation process for drain-type drains is slightly more complicated than that of push-pull drains and flap drains. Drain-type sink basins cannot store water unless they are closed with a seal.
Basin Sink Installation Steps
- First, take out the drain hose you bought and remove the lower part of the basin drain and the flange that holds the basin drain to the bottom of the basin. Be sure to tighten the flanges. Once tightened, you can place the basin on the countertop, with the end of the basin drain hose pointed at the opening in the countertop.
- Wrap some impermeable tape around the basin drain in its proper place and align the other end of the basin drain with the drain, which is the opening in the sewer line. Remove the parts and use a wrench to tighten the connection between the drain pipe and the sewer line. After installation, check that the ends of the basin drain pipe are evenly adjusted and tightened.
- Check that there are no parts or squashed during the installation.4. After checking that it is correct, start testing the water resistance of the basin. From the side, you can see if there is any leakage in the sink. If there are no leaks or seepage, it means that the water pipe under the basin has been installed, otherwise it needs to be checked again or reinstalled. | <urn:uuid:bbdf8736-4812-42a0-8643-36e86cd7e49b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.wowowfaucet.com/how-to-install-a-drain/ | 2020-09-20T03:24:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400193391.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920031425-20200920061425-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.938657 | 473 |

What clients have shared…
“I have been coached by Cynthia for a few months for my ADD difficulty with time and schedule management. She has been very skilled in quickly pin-pointing the trouble spots in my time management process, and getting me back on track so I build the consistent successes that are so important for making changes. Cynthia fine-tunes her client’s process with compassion and an informed can-do attitude. It is so valuable to have someone like that in your corner. Without that help in the past, I just gave up and fell back on old chaotic habits. I consider my new-found ability to actually enjoy developing and maintaining a schedule, nothing short of miraculous.” –NS | <urn:uuid:49068eb9-3027-48f9-8776-58ffb48b6636> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://cynthiaseager.com/about/ | 2020-09-21T12:56:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.969357 | 833 |

a blog by Iron Horse
Wow what a fantastic episode, I told one of my housemates before I came home tonight that I thought this would be the episode we get Jon back, as you can see from my tweet above I was quite pleased with that. Purely based on the fact that 2 seasons ago they killed Jeoffrey in episode 2.
First things first, let's talk about Bran...
So for those of you that don't know still about Bran's quest and what's been going on let me attempt to fill you in. Bran has been training with the "3 eyed raven" to begin to control his "Worg"ness meaning that he is beginning to control more of his visions, instead of accidentally accessing memories. He's learning to put himself in moments of the past.
His vision this episode leads him back to his home of Winterfell around 35 years prior, when his father Ned, is training in the yard with his Uncle (former First Ranger of the Nights Watch) Benjen Stark learning to fight. Just a vision, nothing of great significance other than seeing his father and aunt Lyanna Stark who is a key character in this shows history (which according to the preview for next week we will find out more about in the next episode in another vision).
Next up Ramsay....
I honestly might be in the minority here, but I love this power play by Ramsey. The scene starts with Ramsay, his father Roose, and the Karstark leader talking about searching for Sansa Stark after hearing that their search party was unsuccessful in retrieving her. It is at this moment the maester of the Dreadfort walks in to inform them that Roose's wife has just birthed a son. This is when Ramsay promptly walks over, congratulates his father before he stabs him in the heart. Now during this previous conversation Ramsay states that they all know where Sansa is going she only has 1 real option, The Wall.
While we all know now that Jon is back from the dead, nobody outside of the wall knew that he had died. So Ramsay's plan has to be to march against the wall, where we know the wildlings as well as Jon's closer friends in the Nightswatch still stand. Ramsay however does not know the wildlings have joined their cause, he thinks that he can march in with a small force and kill Jon. But as the season trailers reveal to us, the Boltons have a war coming, I'm going to guess that Ramsay tries this small group tactic and finds out that their is actually a much larger force at Castle Black which means the war is coming.
And oh yah it will be so bad ass, cause just like the last Bolton war. This one will have even MORE Ramsay being a savage. (Ramsay is growing on me now that he's not raping Sansa).
Onto the next story with the Lannisters...
Okay so I'm going to make this one shorter because honestly not a lot happened here...
-Zombie Mountain murders people talking shit about his Cruella Deville
-Tommen doesn't allow mom to go to her daughters funeral out of fear she'll be imprisoned
-Jamie Lannister makes his son go apologize to mom
-Jamie Lannister meets the high sparrow and they have a very Game of Thrones type conversation
-Tommen apologizes to mommy, says he shoulda been stronger
Onto the Greyjoys
Again, not a whole lot despite the death of Balon Greyjoy. This guy was so old he was about to die any day now. So what happens now with the return of Balon's brother Euron Greyjoy, other than his death is that I believe that the Iron Islands will begin to move in a new direction instead of this ridiculous attempt to conquer the world. The Greyjoy's have always been a power hungry people but despite that they actually have the best policy to elect a new king, they vote. Yes someone in this show has a democracy.
Also Theon abandons Sansa and says he's going home. Not sure if he means the Iron Islands but that will be interesting if he shows up in the middle of this.
Tyrion and Mereen are next!
Again not a lot to talk about here, Tyrion drinks and he knows things, nothing we didn't already know. BUT OH YAH BABY HERE COME THE DRAGONS. Rhaegal and Viserion are coming out to eat, quite literally. Huge balls by Tyrion to go down and let them out, not sure how okay Dany will be with this but it's a necessary move. Probably my favorite scene in this episode other than the last one obviously, loved hearing Tyrion's story about being a kid and wanting a dragon. They like Tyrion and he likes them so hopefully we'll see Tyrion riding a dragon soon :)
ONTO THE WALL
So Melisandre is going through a bit of an identity crisis having basically led an entire people into the dirt over her "visions" but this is sure to get her going again. Finding a new power she never knew she had before has to be a big confidence booster for this busty-red priest. Bringing Jon back from the dead means 2 things to me. One that there's no way Sansa gets to him in time, if I've learned anything from this show, it's that all of Jon's timing is terrible. Ned tells Jon he'll find out who his mom is next time they meet, Ned promptly dies. Robb Stark goes to war not even a couple weeks after Jon swears his life to never leave the wall. Jon goes North as a wildling towards the wall and Bran can spit on him from the windmill and they don't find each other. You get the point... As far as predictions go for Jon? I'm sorta at a loss for them here I'm honestly just hoping he wrecks Ser Allister Thorne and rips Ollie's fucking eyes out of his sockets Mountain style even though I know neither of those things are going to happen.
So now that Jon is alive I doubt Sansa finds him, and with Ramsay inevitably marching North sooner rather than later with the full force of the North it honestly probably isn't the best place for her to be either. My guess is that somehow they find out about this before they reach the wall, or they hear that Jon is dead and go to the Eyrie where she still has relatives and also where Littlefinger can still get to her and protect her. I guess this because, in one of the preseason trailers Brianne is shown in the Eyrie. So I'm guessing they change course over some point in the next few episodes.
That's all for this week guys thanks for reading, hope you liked this episode as much as I did. I look forward to discussing this next weeks episode and future episodes to come.
And remember.... Winter is Coming

As she ran out of the house to get to the hairdresser, apparently Alex just threw on whatever £250 shoes she could find laying around the house. At least her hair looks fabulous.
Don't seem so surprised Alex...

Vietnam Airlines (VNA) targets to become the third-largest national airline in Southeast Asia next year by becoming a “four-star” carrier, a VNA official said.
According to Skytrax, an international rating agency that ranks airlines on a scale from one to five stars, VNA is currently a three-star airline.
The General Director of Vietnam Airlines, Pham Ngoc Minh, told the press Monday that the carrier will start replacing its current planes with large aircraft including Boeing 787 and Airbus 350.
It will also begin offering advanced technology and services to take third place behind Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways, he said.
Minh made his comments during a press conference organized to announce VNA’s post-privatization plans after the government approved its much-anticipated plan to sell 25 percent of its shares to investors.
Twenty percent, or 282 million shares, of the Hanoi-based, state-owned airline will be sold to strategic partners, according to a government decision signed last Wednesday.
Around 1.5 percent, or 21.5 million shares, will be offered to the company's employees, while roughly 3.5 percent will be sold to the public.
After the privatization, the government will retain a 75 percent controlling stake in the airline, which has a registered capital of roughly VND14 trillion (US$661 million).
Minh also told the press that VNA is working with foreign consultants to select its strategic investors.
"There is currently more than one foreign airline that wishes to be VNA's strategic investor. For example, Japanese airline ANA, " he said.
The same day, the airline recommended its initial public offering (IPO) to the Ministry of Transport of VND22,300 ($1.05) per share in late November.
After the IPO, VNA will retain a 70 percent controlling stake in low-cost carrier Jetstar Pacific as well as its shares in Cambodian national carrier Cambodia Angkor Air and Vietnam Air Services Company (VASCO), Minh told reporters. | <urn:uuid:a9b8757e-6685-4144-b5b0-ebd213f9ed00> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.thanhniennews.com/business/vietnam-airlines-shoots-for-third-in-southeast-asia-31211.html | 2020-09-21T12:05:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.949076 | 430 |

It is March, so here is an example of personification. It comes from a workshop: we were asked to choose a month and write about it, as though it was a person. Do you see March as a man too? Does his emotional state reflect typical March weather?
He is a man with a frown,
walking in a military
manner. He is the eldest
son of a Rossendale baker, who
married young and placed his hopes
on other people’s shoulders.
He studied accountancy at a redbrick
in the Midlands, ironed shirts himself,
lost his accent, met a nurse
in town one night, got drunk,
a lower second degree, a baby,
a small semi in the suburbs.
Last year he didn’t get a rise,
didn’t get promotion either.
He thinks about renewing insurance,
calculates the cost of divorce,
puts his hands in his pockets and
strides over the zebra crossing.
He often feels like going crazy, going
off with a woman half his age, living
in the south of France, but he walks
back to the empty house, hiding
under a large black umbrella,
cursing under his breath. | <urn:uuid:545a6299-d3c2-4b06-80e8-12cf7f1fb3e9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://acaciapublications.co.uk/2020/03/01/a-man-with-a-frown/ | 2020-09-21T11:33:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.977209 | 265 |
Attorney General William Barr was traveling in Virginia this week in a motorcade, when he spotted some people demonstrating in support of the police.
Barr actually stopped, got out of the car and thanked the people personally.
The man has real class.
The Washington Examiner reports:
‘Can we make a quick U-Turn?’: AG Barr stops his motorcade to thank pro-police rallygoers in Virginia
Attorney General William Barr stopped his motorcade as it drove by a pro-police rally and exited his car to offer his support for their message.
“That time you’re driving in Virginia and the Attorney General spots a group of people in front of a police precinct showing their support for the police,” DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec tweeted Thursday evening. “AG to FBI Detail: “Can we make a quick U-Turn? I want to jump out and thank those people.”
Barr can be seen in the video posted by Kupec bumping elbows with rally goers, taking photos, and talking about his recent testimony before Congress.
“We love you,” one woman can be heard saying to Barr as he stood in the middle of the crowd practicing social distancing. “This is awesome,” a man can be heard saying.
See the video below:

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2015, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Later this month, the Bureau of Land Management will begin administering contraceptives to free-roaming mares in Tooele County, this time using dart guns to avoid rounding up these wild horses.
Horse proliferation across the Western range is among the most vexing challenges facing the federal land agency, which is obligated under federal law to both protect the animals but also ensure forage remains available for public-lands grazers.
Contraception is viewed as a promising alternative to the usual practice of rounding up excess horses, which has largely been panned as a costly failure. Few horses are adopted and thousands will spend the remainder of their lives in corrals. Meanwhile, free-roaming horse populations grow, putting pressure on a range already depleted by drought and cattle.
In a decision released Friday, BLM's Utah office will administer the contraceptive Porcine Zona Pellucida, or PZP, with darts to mares roaming the Onaqui Mountain Herd Management Area, a 207,000-acre patch of public land 60 miles southwest of Tooele. It currently is home to 317 wild horses, far above what BLM has determined to be an "appropriate management level."
This drug has been shown to keep mares from becoming pregnant for a year or two, and then it must be re-administered. PZP has to be carefully handled or it won't work.
"The darting is being conducted to meet local and national goals of slowing population growth, reduce the number of animals in short-term and long-term holding, and maintain a thriving, natural ecological balance and multiple-use relationship on public lands in the Onaqui Mountain HMA," the agency said in a release Friday.
This herd is by the far the easiest to approach of Utah's 19 wild horse herds. Most scatter when a person comes within half a mile, making the use of dart guns all but impossible. The five-year Onaqui project aims to reduce the herd size by half to 160-175 adults. If mares cannot be approached, BLM will use non-trap bait stations to lure them to a place where they can be darted.
Whether contraception can resolve long-standing conflicts over federal land management remains to be seen. Ranchers and state officials want more horses removed from the range, while animal-welfare advocates want an end to the roundups, usually conducted with helicopters.
But the horse-advocacy community is bitterly divided over use of contraceptives. Agreeing with a recent report by the National Academy of Sciences, mainstream groups hope contraception can enable wild horses' peaceful co-existence with ranchers. Other groups, such as Friends of Animals, see contraception as inhumane.
The West's wild horses descended from domesticated horses turned loose centuries ago. Without any predators to control their numbers, herd sizes can double every four to six years, according to BLM. | <urn:uuid:09aa585d-0f05-4735-92c0-dcb4fffbf8eb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=2466359&itype=CMSID | 2020-09-21T14:05:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.937257 | 634 |

ClickFunnels vs. Every person Else.
Many people ask exactly how ClickFunnels compares to various other landing page home builders such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and also Infusionsoft.
For the most part it’s not actually a fair comparison since each of these devices excels is one area or the various other.
The graph above offers an extensive analysis – however I’ll highlight several of the significant comparisons listed below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Prior to ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the big dog.
Leadpages is simply a lead capture software application – nothing even more. You could create landing pages, lead boxes, accumulate leads … that’s basically it. In addition, the Leadpages themes are additionally restricted on modification.
ClickFunnels is far more versatile – it’s a lot easier to utilize and also does so far more than produce lead capture web pages.
Basically, Leadpages is actually simply a landing web page home builder, while ClickFunnels is focused around developing very incorporated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a landing web page or sales web page home builder. It has a few of that functionality built it, yet that’s not exactly what it’s known for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM system – one that permits you to manage your entire customer data source. ClickFunnels has this ability with Actionetics, however it’s not virtually as progressed as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is likewise exceptionally pricey and forces every new consumer to pay $2000 for a necessary kickstart training package simply to discover the best ways to make use of the intricate system (which is infamously hard to make use of).
ClickFunnels Affiliate Program
There are two main courses individuals decrease as ClickFunnels users.
Those that opt to utilize the device for their business – in hopes of someday achieve the Two Comma Club (over $1M in income).
And also those that are interested in making passive revenue as a ClickFunnels Affiliate as well as winning the Desire Cars and truck Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 to your desire vehicle if you get to 100/200 energetic regular monthly signups, respectively).
With a massive 40% regular monthly recurring compensation, ClickFunnels easily has among the greatest affiliate programs of any system available.
That’s right – you get paid an ongoing 40% payment on every affiliate signup you make via the ClickFunnels Associate Program. Yet, what does that truly relate to?
The fundamental plan is a $97/month investment and the Etison Collection plan is a $297/month financial investment. therefore you make $38.80 each fundamental plan as well as $118.80 each Etison Collection strategy … every month!
Usually, every 100 signups will certainly generate $4000/month in affiliate compensations (more or less relying on the number of Etison Strategy users are in there).
All-time Low Line
ClickFunnels is hands down the greatest platform if you are looking to conveniently build high transforming sales funnels.
Because it was developed from the ground up to be the very best sales funnel contractor, it beats out every one of the competition because respect.
Externally, it might not be the most affordable item around – yet if you utilize it to its full capacity, your organisation will certainly come to be a lot more lucrative and you will certainly save cash from not needing to utilize various other devices. MemberMouse Support

Know Your Lore: Death Knight Artifact lore in Legion
What does Death Knight Artifact lore tell us? What secrets of foul necromancy do these powerful weapons unlock? What will the Knights of the Ebon Blade do with such amazing power, and more importantly, considering all they’ve already lost, what will they have to sacrifice to attain them?
The Blood Artifact is fascinating, and it raises some interesting questions about the Burning Legion, but for my money the real leaders for lore weight here are between the Unholy Artifact Apocalypse and the Frost Artifact swords Icebringer and Frostreaper. They’re just very significant, tied right into Warcraft’s past and present, and they promise the continuation of stories we’ve been waiting to see more of for years.
So let’s take a look at the armory of the unspeakable, the Artifact weapons of the Death Knight — if you want Blood, Frost, or Unholy, they’ve got it.
Maw of the Damned
From the official site:
An ancient Legion axe forged from a metal that drains its victims’ vital energies. The soul of its original creator is trapped within and cursed with unending hunger. For more than a thousand years, an old and cunning mo’arg has used the axe to butcher uprisings and consume the life force of the Legion’s foes. Over its long and infamous history, the weapon has made its demonic bearer extraordinarily powerful.
This is one that’s just screaming for more details. Who made it? Was it some ancient Eredar, like the poor soul who ended up the Skull of the Man’ari? How do we get it? I presume we kill the guy who has it now.What this makes me think about, however, is that the Legion seems to be crafting a whole mess of absolutely horrific weapons, weapons of singular power, weapons you don’t hand to foot soldiers. Many of the Artifacts we’ve seen so far are resulting from the Legion, and all three of the Artifacts we’ll see for Death Knights are in one way or another part of this Legion arms program. And these are very much not just weapons you hand some Felguard or what have you. The Maw of the Damned is described as ancient, and we’re told it’s been used for over a thousand years to slaughter the enemies of the Legion.
This seems to fly in the face of the Legion as a regimented demonic army. Why does the Legion need so many weapons for champions? How many does it have?
I’ll bring this one up while discussing the next Artifact.
Icebringer and Frostreaper (Blades of the Fallen Prince)
From the official site:
Crafted by the Burning Legion to corrupt the world of Azeroth, the soul-stealing runeblade Frostmourne was shattered by Ashbringer atop Icecrown Citadel. Countless souls were freed from the broken blade, but others were not so fortunate. Today the shards of Frostmourne can be recrafted and infused with even more power. However, the spirits still trapped within must first be subdued and bent to the wielder’s will.
Okay, for starters, the Burning Legion has a heck of a skunk works for hideously evil weapons. Both the Maw of the Damned and Frostmourne (and other weapons we’ve already talked about like the Deadwind Harvester or the Scepter of Sargeras) were forged by the Legion. I don’t feel like I have to talk much about Frostmourne itself, but I’m interested to find out where the shards of the weapon went after the sword got broken, and how we’re going to go about re-crafting them into two swords like this. Is this why Bolvar is said to make an appearance in Legion? (Alex Afrasiabi said as much during the Q&A panel.)
I’ve read some spoilers (that I won’t be sharing here) about Bolvar, his role in Legion, and how he relates to these weapons. All I can really say is that the Death Knight who uses these is holding Frostmourne in his hands, so don’t be surprised if there’s a big cost that comes with using them.
From the official site:
Vampiric demons known as nathrezim forged this ancient sword, which brings with it violence, plagues, and death. Apocalypse soon earned a horrific reputation in the hands of a Tirisgarde mage who couldn’t control its destructive energies. In time the sword was seized by the malevolent Dark Riders: servants of Medivh, the corrupted Guardian of Tirisfal. They hid the blade in the catacombs under his home, the tower of Karazhan.
Okay, now we have a Nathrezim forged weapon. The Nathrezim are also known as the Dreadlords, and if you remember Balnazzar, Mal’Ganis, Mephistroth or Varimathras, you’ve seen a Dreadlord. Are the Nathrezim the ones who forge all of the Legion’s hideously powerful and evil two handed weapons? Was the Maw of the Damned once a Nathrezim? Considering this is a gigantic two hander, why did that Mage even try and control it? It’s also interesting to me that like the Deadwind Harvester, this one ended up underneath Karazhan — indicating that Medivh was building quite the arsenal of evil weapons when he was possessed by Sargeras.
In and of itself that’s new — we haven’t heard much out of the Dark Riders since their quest for the Scythe of Elune. Now it turns out that was hardly the only Artifact they were hunting for. Why did Sargeras/Medivh want this weapon, or indeed, any of the artifacts he collected?

There was not one single inventor of the typewriter and many experimental models were built and used during the 18th and 19th century. However the first made in any quantity is deemed that designed by the Danish pastor Rev Rasmus Malling-Hansen (1835-90).
Principal at the Royal Institute for the Deaf in Copenhagen, he designed his uniqueergonomic typewriter in 1865 to help students to “speak with their fingers”.
The system, which Malling- Hansen refined over the years, displayed all the key elements of future writing machines including a space bar, and automatic carriage return and – most significant of all – visible writing by raising the typing mechanism. He positioned 54 keys on a hemisphere to facilitate ‘quick writing’, the vowels operated by the fingers of the left hand, the consonants by the right.
Only 180 numbered models were manufactured across more than a decade – the German phi losopher, Friedrich Nietzsche paying DKr375 for his in 1882 (he was not terribly impressed).
Today, 35 ‘writing balls’ are thought to survive although with so many museums keen to own one, just five are left in private hands.
Auction Team Breker in Cologne had sold model number 142 for €70,000 (£63,635) in 2014.
This latest example, number 103, was offered as part of the auction house’s Science & Technology sale on May 18 this year. In ‘very good working original condition’, it had been a gift from Bodenhoff, a manufacturer of off ice equipment, to a new chairman. The price of €100,000 (£87,000) was subject to a 23% buyer’s premium. | <urn:uuid:627479f4-9cb2-41d1-85f3-6a603ef69ec3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cdn.antiquestradegazette.com/print-edition/2019/june/2394/news/early-typewriter-pushes-all-the-right-buttons-at-german-auction/ | 2020-09-21T12:16:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.972113 | 357 |

I’d like to share a few thoughts with you about the love of God. There is a Scripture that simply says, “God is love” (1 John 4). Love is at the core of who God is. His very nature is love. God’s word also tells us that God, “is not far from any one of us, for in him we live and move and exist…” (Acts 17:27-28)
A very significant and powerful world view paradigm shift takes place as we let the truth of these two Scriptures sink in. I mean, this is a radical, life changing truth!
Think about it. If God is love, and in him we live and move and exist, then we are in this very moment immersed in love. We are surrounded on every side by love, by God. God permeates everything… everywhere… everything, that is, except what exactly? Are there any exceptions? Perhaps the space in our own person?
God is the creator. The entire universe, seemingly infinite in size, cannot contain God. God’s word tells us that nothing exists in all the universe apart from him and his willing it to exist, for he created all things.
“All things are made by him and for him” (Colossians 1).
This is only thing that ultimately offers us any meaning and purpose in this life. Only In the love of God.
I have often asked:
- Just how close does God want to get?
- How intimate a relationship – friendship does he desire?
- Just how loved are we?
How would you like to be loved the way you always dreamed of being loved? How would you like to be cherished, valued and adored just for being you? The reason we want to be loved and treasured like this is because we were made to be loved and treasured like this – by God.
Remember this, We are made by a God who’s very core and essence is love, who is the source of all love. And we were made to be loved. We live and move and exist in love. You are deeply loved by God and that changes everything. As a song lyric says, “If grace was an ocean, then we’re all sinking”.
God is love… but sadly, we are not. Though we are made in his image, Humanity is bankrupt when it comes to love.
This is why God gave us his law of love, to show us that we don’t know how to love others, we don’t know how to love God, and we don’t even know how to love ourselves. Why else do we treat each other like shit? Why else do we ignore God and his loving commands and words to us? Why else do we pursue self destruction with smoking, drinking, or porn? And why do we give the best parts of ourselves and our best years to money, sex, and entertainment, etc…?
But, though we are bankrupt when it comes to love, God holds out hope and salvation to us. He provides redemption through the rescuer and savior of the entire human race, Jesus (whose name literally means, “I AM your salvation” or “I AM your savior”). He is our hero – the protagonist – in this often painful human drama
No longer is it about us and our “love bankrupt” lives. No longer is it about us trying hard enough to please God, to earn his acceptance, to somehow win the Almighty’s favor. No, now it all about our hero Jesus and what he has accomplished on our behalf.
The focus now becomes Jesus and the perfect holy life of love he lived and the cross where he suffered more than we will ever know for all of our bad living, all our unlove, and ungrace.
It’s now about the cross where he achieved the tremendous victory over sin accomplishing through his sacrifice more than we will ever know.
It’s now about how he rose from death and conquered the power of death. He overcame all that separates us from God.
And it’s now about how all these things, his holy life of love, his death on the cross, his resurrection come to have their significance in our lives as we place our trust in him.
Jesus now, with all his heart, offers everything to you. He gives you his victory over sin. He gives you his perfect love to live in your heart by his very own presence through the Holy Spirit. He now offers you paradise forever, that you might eternally be discovering the glories of his infinite love.
So what’s required of us to get in on all of this? Simple trust. We believe. We believe what God says and we receive him by faith. We believe that he really is that good, and that we can trust him for everything.
It means having the courage, and I know, sometimes it takes an enormous amount of courage to accept your acceptance when you feel so unworthy. Maybe you even think that God is better off without you. God’s heart breaks for you to know that you are already accepted by him.
Your acceptance is not on the basis of your own merit, but solely on the basis of Jesus merit. It’s based on his cross, on his blood which he gladly shed for you – all for just the chance, just the chance, to know you, and to love you.
So here is what I’m going to ask that you would do in response to all of this. Would you pray with me?
“Jesus, you are famous for your mercy, grace and love. In you alone is the perfection of grace and truth. Your word tells us that you are God, the savior of the world. I believe. Save me. Rescue me.
May I come to experience your love, to fully grasp that you love me. I want to know that love that prompted you to die for me, for my sin. And to experience you as the one who created me for love. Thank you for loving me and accepting me. Thank you God that I don’t have to earn your love but that I get to just embrace and receive it.
Please clear my head of all the false notions of who you are that keep me from knowing you as you really are. Reveal your mercy and love to me Jesus . Reveal yourself to me.” | <urn:uuid:68642953-b3dc-4667-8b25-b56dd4e44a57> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://daniellovett.com/2011/07/23/the-love-of-god/ | 2020-09-21T11:59:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.978247 | 1,349 |

I just got back a week ago from AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs)’s annual conference. (You can check out the action at Twitter. Search on #AWP15) The Minneapolis hotel didn’t run out of alcohol (that has happened in the past) but they did have a run on the tabouleh in the first 24 hours. Well, with approximately 15,000 writers in town, you’re going to run out of something.
Maybe there’s something about being (lost) among that sea of writers that has me thinking about the Hero’s Journey. I could have used a clever animal sidekick or a pair of magic scissors or something. Or maybe it’s just another way for me to think about shaping this story I’m always trying to write. Or this life I’m trying to live. Living the life, writing the book…same project, as far as I can tell.
Joseph Campbell picked up where Jung left off and got us all thinking of the Hero’s Quest or Journey as an archetypal form we could overlay onto our own lives. He outlined the steps of the Journey. I’ve seen it stated slightly differently in different places, but here is one model:
- Hero as outcast/outsider.
- Hero called to adventure.
- Hero refuses the call.
- Hero meets mentor (supernatural aid, spirit guide, etc).
- Hero “crosses the threshold,” embarks/leaves ordinary life behind.
- Hero undergoes a series of tests on the path.
- Hero meets the love that has greatest significance, is all-encompassing, all-meaningful. Campbell called this meeting the Goddess.
- Hero meets the Temptress, in the temptation to fall from his Quest.
- Hero faces ultimate challenge/greatest fear.
- Hero gains the gift or treasure, the fulfillment of the Quest.
- Hero returns home, with treasure.
- Hero faces one final test.
- Hero comes into his own, is crowned King or otherwise recognized in community.
Wikipedia tells me Campbell borrowed Joyce’s term “monomyth” for this. And like monotheism, the “monomyth” has a pronoun problem. Campbell wasn’t so great on the wimminfolk, as you can tell from the above steps. The Hero for him was always a boy or man. True love is represented by “the Goddess,” and tempation likewise takes the figure of a woman. Towards the end of his career (I read this anecdote from The Sound of a Silver Horn, by Kathleen Noble—a great book on women and the Hero’s Journey for anyone interested), a young woman asked him in class, “What about women?” Campbell answered, “Women are the Mother, the Goddess, the Beloved…what more do you want?” “I want to go on an adventure,” she said. “I’m glad I’m retiring,” was his reply.
Let’s diversify the Journey.
What if the Hero is not an outcast? What if she is enmeshed in her community at the start of the story? What launches her out of her comfort zone and onto the Path? Is there an archetypal moment of rejection, and would this come from within or from without? Or is she just bored? Is that enough? What if she has children? What if she has an older relative she’s taking care of? What if she is the head of the PTO?
And what happens to her at the end? A wise man may be a king. A wise woman is almost always a witch. Mind you, I’m down with that. A woman (anyone) who listens to a wilder song and has truly gained wisdom from that will not be welcome back into a community structured by patriarchy. This is why the witch lives at the edge of town, or deep in the woods. This is an essential difference which does not have to be gender specific.
Stretching our imaginations to re-vision the Hero’s Journey is helpful to writers as we think about plots…but larger than that, if the Journey is an archetype we all may follow in how we think about and understand our lives, there needs to be a diversity of possible paths. Not everyone wants to be king. Not everyone wants to end up married and happily ever after.
If we follow Jungian thought, archetypally, a “king” has been understood to represent someone who is healthily centered, who has embraced their own shadow and is able to rule themselves wisely. Maybe a “witch” is someone who purposefully and deliberately uncenters. Who pushes into the margins, the boundaries, who camps on the edge. Who insists there is still, ever, much of the self she doesn’t yet know.
What would it be to be both? | <urn:uuid:499af234-6966-48a1-b663-d6c70a291247> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dowsingfordivinity.com/2015/04/20/re-imagining-the-heros-journey/ | 2020-09-21T12:14:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96055 | 1,060 |

The basics of this meme are so fun. Each week, pick a book that fits the theme they post on Goodreads. Then do a little research on the covers of the book around the world. Pick you favorite and least favorite covers. Post your thoughts and check out other posts from the week.
This week’s theme: December is the month of giving. Choose a book in which a character gives an amazing gift to a loved one!
I decided to pick Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.
This is one of my favorite books, and it reminds me of Christmas and the joy of giving–love, friendship, loyalty, and memories–especially to family. You can read my review here.
I figured there would be a lot of covers for Little Women. What I didn’t expect was how many I actually loved!
Covers I Love:
Least Favorite (a little scary):
I also highly recommend this adaptation. Love the acting, especially Christian Bale as Laurie!
What is your favorite book about giving? About Christmas?

Whether you’re a new employee or have been at UT for many years, the compensation team offers many services to support you. We also work with departmental HR contacts to process many different types of compensation and position transactions. Please call us at 865-974-6642 if you have any questions.
Compensation Practices and Philosophy
For specifics on how the university handles compensation, including compensation increases, visit the UT System HR’s page on Salary Increases, Incentives, and Bonuses.
Visit the UT System HR’s page on Compensation Philosophy for more information.
Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
The Fair Labor Standards Act is a federal law that establishes minimum wage, overtime pay eligibility, record-keeping, and child labor standards affecting employees in the private sector and in Federal, State, and local governments. Employees covered by the Act are considered to be non-exempt workers and are entitled to a minimum wage of not less than $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009.
Overtime-eligible employees must be compensated with overtime pay or compensatory time for all hours worked over 40 during an established seven-day work period. The established work period for most UT Knoxville employees is Monday–Sunday. The overtime rate is one and one-half times the regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40.
Compensatory leave may be granted in lieu of pay and is earned at a rate of one and one-half hours for each overtime hour worked. Paid leave does not count towards hours worked when determining overtime. Eligible (non-exempt) employees may accrue up to 240 hours of compensatory leave.
More information can be found on the UT System HR’s FLSA page. There you’ll also find details on recent proposed changes and updates to FLSA.
Compensation determines whether a position is designated as exempt or non-exempt from the FLSA based upon criteria established by the US Department of Labor. A designation is made when new positions are established and when there are changes to existing position description questionnaires. In order for an exemption to apply, an employee’s specific job duties and salary must meet all the requirements of the Department of Labor’s regulations.
The FLSA provides an exemption from both minimum wage and overtime pay for employees employed as bona fide executive, administrative, professional, computer and outside sales professions, as defined by the Department of Labor. There may be situations where a position has been designated as exempt based on job duties but the employee’s salary does not meet the salary threshold; therefore, the employee will be designated as non-exempt and will be eligible for the overtime provisions of the FLSA. | <urn:uuid:55a78bf1-8457-4858-8c39-0bf193e554ea> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hr.utk.edu/compensation/ | 2020-09-21T11:57:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.944873 | 556 |
Summer is drawing in fast and without any braking any time soon! Well, who would have thought we would have a summer breeze, aka “the wind” during the middle of the summer and feel so cool? I am glad we did! The wind displayed a vital part in this fashion look. This simple free flowing, lime polka-dot dress is great for the summer wind. The pleaded neck gives the neckline a desirable look. I kept the accessories simple, matching it with the same color. You can snatch this look from Burlington Coat Factory at a reasonable cost!
Remember always stay curvy and fashionable!

Next month, pianist and composer Rick Simpson will release an album of rearranged tracks from Radiohead’s acclaimed 2000 album Kid A—and he’s released his take on “Everything in its Right Place.”
The album is titled Everything All of the Time: Kid A Revisited, and follows the Kid A tracklist except the closing track “Untitled,” which it leaves off.
It was recorded in January with Tori Freestone (tenor saxophone and violin), James Allsop (baritone saxophone), Dave Whitford (double bass) and Will Glaser (drums)—the same line-up that played Simpson’s Kid A rearrangements live with him at a sold-out show in London in February 2019. Later that year, Simpson also staged concerts centered on rearrangements of Radiohead’s Amnesiac and In Rainbows.
Everything All of the Time: Kid A Revisited will be Simpson’s first full-length release since his 2016 album Klammer, and will be out October 23 on Whirlwind Recordings. Stream “Everything in its Right Place” below: | <urn:uuid:443d4b2c-c85b-46e5-a36e-2aa384407d07> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://lab.fm/genres/jazz/hear-rick-simpson-take-on-radioheads-everything-in-its-right-place/ | 2020-09-21T12:35:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.958658 | 242 |
Has it always been your dream to write a book? Do you have a great idea for a mystery novel, a romance for women’s fiction, or an interesting life story to tell as a memoir? Now is the time to put your ideas to paper and write your book.
Starting the process of writing a book can seem overwhelming. Here are a few tips to write your book.
If you are writing fiction, or a novel, the first and most important step is developing the story, or plot, of your book. Before you concern yourself with the details, start simply and build up the general story arc of your book. You should be able to describe your story in a concise paragraph of about five sentences incorporating the beginning, middle, and end. My book is about …….
The next step in writing your book is choosing the characters. It is important to develop strong characters that the reader will connect with. Start with the protagonist, as this will be the main focus of your book, then develop the secondary characters. It may be helpful to take a sheet of paper for each character with their name, physical description, their role in the story, and their motivations simply outlined.
Once you have set out the plot and characters, you can begin to plan further details that will help you write your book. Begin by developing your plot and setting goals and conflicts. The protagonist must have a goal, that drives the plot forward. Then you must establish conflict by presenting obstacles for the protagonist, to create tension and keep the readers turning the pages. Finally, choose a setting as the backdrop as you write your book. Whether using a real location, or developing your own world, it is important to describe the setting for the readers. It will influence the plot, characters, and dialogue, to make your story more believable.
You can now begin to write your book using all of these tips to help you as you go along.
If you are writing a memoir or narrative non-fiction book, the process to write your book is a bit different, as it is based on real life. The first step is to focus on a theme, or message, that will connect the various events in your life. Start with either one moment in time, or a series of moments which make up the theme. Write around the theme, show how you see and think about this idea, and share other experiences in your life. Next you should choose the structure of your book. Are you going to write your book in chronological order of events, or based on similar ideas? This is important to consider. Often a writer will pull out one moment in his or her life and start there and then go back to the beginning of their book.
Finally, for non-fiction it is important to develop your authentic voice. Whether you are writing a memoir and telling your own story, or sharing history, or writing a book where you are an expert in the field, as an author you are the authority on the subject and need to develop an honest, engaging voice. As everyone is staying home, now is a great time to write your book. Langtons International Agency is always looking for new authors and would be happy to read your book and try and find you a publisher when your book is ready. | <urn:uuid:753e8031-3ba5-40e5-851d-de30a1eea8e2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://langtonsinternational.com/write-your-book/ | 2020-09-21T12:02:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.966433 | 663 |
Dammmmmmmn, it’s like a news MACHINE out there!
The big story, reported by Corriere dello Sport, is that Arsenal has agreed a deal with Carlo Ancelotti to take over at the start of next season. The offer is £10m a year, and the Italian has rejected an offer to take over the Italian national team as part of the deal.
What do I think of this?
The move would be a positive step forward. Carlo Ancelotti is a superb manager, he has a great reputation with players, he’s a project kind of guy who has been looking to develop a club since PSG, and he has a lot to offer the shit show that is Arsenal.
My concern is this, the brief from Ivan shouldn’t be bettering Arsene Wenger, it has to be about hiring a manager that can take Arsenal to the next level. In fact, to get even more prescriptive, it has to be about finding a manager better than Pep Guardiola. He’s the ultimate in world football, and he has a blank chequebook.
Hiring a manager who took over the wheel at his Bayern Munich and crashed it into the central reservation doesn’t fill me with confidence. Rapha Honigstein wrote that Carlo didn’t pay attention to tactics, and his training sessions bored the players. Yes, he’d run better sessions than Wenger, yes, he’s more tactically astute than Wenger… but is Carlo really cream of the crop in Europe at the moment?
Some cry out for his stability.
PAY ATTENTION: Arsenal has been amongst the most stable clubs in Europe over the last 21 years. We consistently make the top 4, Wenger has more CL games under his belt than almost any manager in the game, stability has not been our issue. Arsenal need a shot of vision in the arm. We need to be let loose on a manager who has it all to play for. We need to be finding the heir apparent to Pep Guardiola, not the guy who has been passed by.
Carlo is used to working with the best in the world, he’s not used to building from scratch. He’s the master of managing ego, and making it work for him, but can he work on a smaller budget? Can he develop youth? Is he prepared to scrap?
Not just that, if you’re working with players that aren’t City level, you have to be able to ideate a better game plan. If your players lack talent, they have to be armed with a better strategy. Is that Carlo in 2018?
In my view, if I had the chance to speak to managers, I’d be making my pick from Sarri, Allegri, Nagelsmann, Hassenhutl or Jardim. Guys doing big things for a variety of different reasons. Falling back on stability isn’t exciting, and I think people aren’t contextualising the reality of what Carlo needs to work at his best.
Milan, PSG, Chelsea, Madrid, and Bayern. He always has the elite players, the most prestigious club and the most money. He’s not landing any of that at Arsenal.
Great man. Not my first choice for Arsenal. Also, can you really see Arsenal hiring now to fire Wenger in the summer? Please. I especially have my doubts about this hire considering who they were talking to last summer, and how they’re recruting behind the scenes. But look, I can imagine Ivan wanting to secure his own future with his version of safe hands… that said, it does conflict with how Stan is rolling in the states. I really hope we do something smarter than the best unemployed manager.
… meanwhile, Chelsea are likely to lose Conte next summer, and they’re sounding out Sarri and Allegri. Proper vision.
In other news, Arsenal has had high level talks about moving Theo on this window. Everton and Southampton both see him as an option, and by the sounds of it, Theo isn’t fussed, though he’d like some more games.
The full David Ornstein lowdown above.
Mr Coquelin has left the building, moving over to Arsenal nursing home, Valencia. Marcelino is going revive the best tackler/interceptor of 2015 and the ultimate LOL is he and Gabriel will be playing CL while we slum in the Europa League.
I was kind of glad he’d gone the other day, I jokingly put a tweet out asking for the best moments of his career, and I ended the session sad because he’s a good guy and showed maximum passssshun for the club at all times.
Remember him pulling a hammy and diving like salmon for no reason? Such great memes…
How about the stepovers against CFC in the cup final? Unreal banter!
What about telling the Hull player to shut up? Or the Bayern celebration? Or coming back from loan at Charlton to boss half a season?
So many great memories. Football is a ruthless game, but damn, I’m welling up over here especially over the sweet words he parted on.
“I almost regret not having come before. I think it’s an excellent opportunity for me and I’m very grateful. It’s a big challenge, and a new start in my life for me, which I’m very excited about.”
Back to reality, landing money for him was the goodest thing that’s damn well happened around these here parts in a while.
BANTER that we only landed £10m for a player who only signed a long-term deal 8 months ago.
Ballague, who once told me I had a nice suit (cause I f*cking did, ok), reckons both United and City have tabled £20m bids for Alexis. Pep isn’t going to up his number because he thinks the player wants to be with him, United might up the cash money because they only know how to pay in £60m denominations.
I’d be sad if he went to either, if we had a real Sporting Director, he’d be on the bench with PSG right now. Instead, we’re in a situation where he’ll join a league winner, or the team that’ll probably finish second.
There’s some winger called Malcolm we might sign, as well as rumours we might finally nab Mikki from United. I can’t muster enough energy to write about those two just yet.
Anyway, jump on our podcast, we talk about the league cup and transfers. Good times had by all.

If you’ve never had dal gosht, you’re in for a treat. Dal means “lentils” and gosht means “meat” and that’s exactly what this dish is: a flavorful lentil stew with goat meat.
Dal gosht is so easy to make in an Instant Pot – you just put everything in an electric pressure cooker and an hour or so later, you’ve got a comforting and delicious meal.
You can use your favorite combination of lentils to make this curry. I prefer a combination of split pigeon peas (toor dal), red lentils (masoor dal) and split chickpeas (chana dal). The split pigeon peas and red lentils completely melt into the curry, but the chana dal retains its shape and gives the dish a little texture. I highly recommend using at least some chana dal for that reason – and also because I love the flavor it adds to the dish.
If you’ve never tried goat meat before, know that it’s mild in flavor and even a bit sweet. It’s tasty and so tender that it will melt in your mouth.
I’ve heard people say that they don’t like goat meat because they think it’s “gamey.” Well, let me be the first to say that whatever those people are referring to isn’t goat meat. There’s a lot of confusion over “mutton” and “goat.” In India, when people refer to mutton they are talking about goat meat whereas here in the US, mutton means adult sheep. Goat meat does not have a gamey flavor but mutton does. If you like the flavor of mutton, that’s great! But if you don’t, then let’s not blame the goat…
If you make this dal gosht, you can serve it over rice or with an Indian flatbread. I can’t wait to hear what you think of the dish! If you like this dal and want to try making more goat recipes, then be sure to try my simple Indian goat curry or this amazing Kerala goat pepper fry.Print
- ½ cup split pigeon peas (toor dal), soaked 1-2 hours
- ¼ cup red lentils (masoor dal), soaked 1-2 hours
- ¼ cup split chickpeas (chana dal), soaked 1-2 hours
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 1 pound bone-in goat pieces (shoulder or leg)
- 2 Serrano peppers or green chilies, slit in half but still intact
- 3 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 2 teaspoons salt, adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne, adjust to taste
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, garnish
- 2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves, garnish
- Soak the lentils in cold water for 1-2 hours. Drain, rinse and set aside.
- Press the sauté button on the Instant Pot, add the oil and allow it to heat up for a minute. Add the cumin seeds to the pot and once they start to brown, add the onion and goat meat. Stir-fry for 6-7 minutes, or until the meat has browned.
- Add the serrano peppers, garlic, ginger, spices and stir, then add the tomatoes. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the tomatoes break down.
- Add the drained lentils to the pot along with the 4 cups of water and mix well.
- Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 30 minutes at high pressure.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally.
- Garnish with chopped mint and cilantro prior and serve.
When the dal is done, it will look similar to a thin soup however as it cools down, it will thicken. | <urn:uuid:69a42e3b-0137-44eb-8ae6-8f12e664bf47> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://myheartbeets.com/instant-pot-dal-gosht-lentils-with-goat/ | 2020-09-21T13:01:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.87929 | 910 |

We woke up this morning to something really special, a video our kids posted on facebook of their newborn sitting up and playing. She is only about three months old and is making fast progress but her little head was wobbling some as the neck is not as strong as, Lord willing, it will be soon. She was trying to put her hands in her mouth as babies often do, but it was a joy to watch her progress and see just where she is right now. She obviously can’t speak out to the camera and say, “Hi Grandma and Grandpa” but we thoroughly enjoyed seeing her just as she is !
Makes me wonder how God looks at us too ! He sees us just as we are too, with all our warts and faults, all our sins and yet He loves us as His own ! We have started to look at Ephesians in our church on Sunday mornings and part of the message tomorrow speaks of our adoption as God’s child once we are born again. Paul wrote, “Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.” (1:5). Of course He is deeply pained when we err as Paul would go on to say in 4:30, “And grieve not (or as the Greek says here “Stop grieving the Holy Spirit of God”) the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”
A few quick things to encourage you here. One is that once saved, God places you in the position as His very child (despite your sin) !! It is His good pleasure to do so, just as you are ! Next, like those Ephesians believers, we too stumble at times and our perfect Father is pained. Someone once said your children can caur you the greatest joy and also the greatest pain at times. Why? Because they are you children and you love them so ! But, thankfully, even when we do falter, We are still His which is what that idea of being sealed means !! Businessmen in Paul’s day would make a larger purchase of some good and pay a down payment or not be able right then and there to transport what they bought until they could get it shipped back so the seller would put on the thing a seal designating that as the purchaser’s and no one else could mess with it. Ever see something similar in a furniture store or car lot (a big sign on it saying “SOLD”) !! We are bought with a great price at the cross once saved and you are God’s child and He is thrilled about you, with all your flaws and imperfections. Sure He desires you to grow just as we anticipate our granddaughter to progress, but it’s a new day, He’s still excited to see you, YOU are HIS CHILD. So let Him talk to you through His Word and hear you breathe some prayers to Him and just talk to Him through the course of the day and maybe say to Him “I love you Father !” | <urn:uuid:baa68d25-d4e8-4c24-a14a-5621e75612c5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://nittanybaptist.org/child/ | 2020-09-21T12:29:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.984026 | 648 |
Carnival Cruise line has been in the news the last few days because of their ship that was stranded for five days, with a full load of passengers, after an engine fire. The problems were numerous, not the least of which was there were no restrooms.
Passengers are complimenting the staff on doing as well as they could under the circumstances. Carnival is paying people’s travel expenses home and giving them a refund, plus $500, and another cruise. Those are all wonderful things, but the real problem is that money doesn’t compensate people for their time.
It’s always about time, and how you’re spending it. Most of us would certainly not choose to spend five days on a ship with sewage leaking through the walls. It seems it was far worse in some areas of the ship than others. But I think it’s safe to say it’s not the vacation anyone expected when they got on board.
This is one of those situations where no one did anything wrong as far as we know. (Cause of the fire is under investigation.) But, nonetheless something went horribly wrong.
Carnival is between a rock and a hard place. They cannot ever replace that time. Regardless of what they do for passengers, it will never buy back those days and nights, that wonderful anticipation of a great time that was dashed, the vacation time people used to take the trip, or the time they spent getting to and from the ship.
It’s always about the time. Money can’t buy it. Reimbursements can’t buy it. Free cruises can’t buy it. Time once it’s spent, is gone. These folks won’t ever get that time back, and Carnival can’t appropriately compensate them for it unless they happen to have a time machine lying about. | <urn:uuid:732132dd-7fac-4a44-8585-b1f974b2d945> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://patsyterrell.com/carnival-cruise-its-about-the-time-not-the-money/ | 2020-09-21T12:15:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.984881 | 389 |
One of the first steps in creating a debt management strategy for your household is to know what kind of problem you are dealing with. Your debts probably include a few different types of loans or credit accounts, ranging from a mortgage to student loans, car loans, personal loans, home equity loans, credit cards, medical bills, accounts in collection, retail store credit lines, loans from family members or even payday loans. Adding up all of your debts can be sobering, but it will help you develop a repayment strategy that is financially best for you.
Gather all of your bills from the past month. If you have online billing for any of your debts, sign into the accounts online to obtain information from your most recent bill.
Look up the remaining balance listed on each of the bills. This also may be listed as “amount owed” or “principal balance” in some cases. Subtract the amount of the payment you made on that bill, if you have already sent in your payment for the month.
Write down the name of each debt and the amount owed on a piece of paper.
Obtain a free copy of your credit report from each of the three credit bureaus through the Annual Credit Report website. If you have already received your free report this year, you will have to pay for the report.
Compare the amounts owed on each of the accounts listed on your credit report to the list you made from your bills. Some of the amounts may be different if your lenders have not yet updated the credit bureau on your payments or charges from the current month. If the amounts are radically different and you do not know why, call your lender and ask for an explanation of the discrepancy between your bill and your credit report.
Identify any accounts listed on your credit report that you did not already have on your list. If you are aware of the account, find the current bill by looking through your household paperwork or logging into the online account. If you were not aware of the account, look up the lender’s phone number and call to find out what the debt is from and what the current amount owed is.
Add up the total amounts owed from all of the debts on your list. This is how much you are in debt.
If you find a debt on your credit report that does not belong to you, you may be a victim of identity theft. Visit the Federal Trade Commission website on identity theft to find out what steps to take to remove this account from your credit report. | <urn:uuid:ed0149c4-b152-4ba4-8ce2-cb82a17204f3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pocketsense.com/out-much-im-debt-24135.html | 2020-09-21T13:01:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.964722 | 514 |

2001: First inland lifeboat station
Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland, is home to the RNLI’s first non-tidal inshore lifeboat station.
When Enniskillen RNLI opened on Lower Lough Erne in May 2001, it became our 225th lifeboat station, and our first inland station.
A year later, a second inshore lifeboat went into service – on Upper Lough Erne, at Carrybridge. Lifeboats have been in continuous service at Enniskillen (Upper and Lower) since 2002.
Enniskillen (Lower) is based at Killadeas, at Lough Erne Yacht Club, on the lower lough’s northern shore.
The facilities at Enniskillen (Upper) were initially basic, but have seen a big improvement. In 2015, we provided a brand new station building containing a boathall, mechanics workshop, and changing, training and other facilities.
Enniskillen RNLI is unique in two ways:
- It’s our only lifeboat station to operate four lifeboats – two B class Atlantic 75s and two inshore rescue boats – which patrol two distinctly different waterways.
- And it’s the only station to operate a search and rescue service in two separate countries. The 26-mile long Lower Lough Erne, and Upper Lough Erne that flows into it, straddle the border between the UK (Northern Ireland) and the Republic of Ireland.
Lough Erne is a magnet for anglers, rowers, wakeboarders and other watersports enthusiasts, which keeps our Enniskillen crews busy. | <urn:uuid:511a22de-d3d5-4fcb-a664-e60d9974151e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://rnli.org/about-us/our-history/timeline/2001-first-inland-lifeboat-station | 2020-09-21T11:52:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.944898 | 361 |
This autumn, we've spent five days in the North of Italy. We've had a genuinely great time exploring Lake Como and small communes located nearby. One place, Villa Monastero in Varena, is now etched in my memory. So, I decided to tell you about my experience there and share some photos I took of this colorful country.
From Milano to Varena
Milano is located near Lake Como, so we decided to stay there to reach every location the fastest way. There are many trains that can take you to the most beautiful places in an hour approx. That's how we went to Varena. We bought tickets on central railway station for 6.70 euros each. Remember to validate your ticket in a yellow box before you enter the carriage.
If you want to spend all your trip watching the snowy summits of mountains and beautiful landscapes, consider taking a seat by the left side of the train.
When you come to Varena, explore this small place first. The commune is tiny, but its narrow streets hide many lovely details. After taking a stroll through Varena, we stumbled upon a beautiful botanical garden. That was nothing else, then the Villa Monastero Garden.
The Botanical Garden
The Garden is located right by the Como lake. It represents the perfect combination of lush greenery and deep blue waters that surround it. The entrance fee is 6 euros, but the ticket for both Villa and the garden will cost you 13 euros each.
The garden looked vivid and very green, even taken the fact it was the middle of October. I liked huge pomelos hanging on the trees and fresh breeze that came from the Lake.
There weren't a lot of tourists, and we even managed to spend some time in complete silence and harmony sitting on this bench.
We then came back to the center of Varena and had lunch at one of the restaurants near lake. We took the train back to Milano the same day.
Other places to visit
If you are planning to stay in Milano too and wondering what places you should visit, I advise you to consider traveling to Como and Bellagio. These two are located on a one-hour trip on ferry from each other.
For an unforgettable adventure in Como, hike to Volta Lighthouse. You'll need to take the funicular and then reach the Lighthouse on foot. But before you start your walk, get a tasty lunch at Capolinea Bistrot. The restaurant is tiny, but the tables outside will guarantee you a fantastic view overlooking the whole town. The food is amazing btw! We went for lasagna and pizza with mushrooms, which was freshly cooked and very tasty.
The walk uphill is quite challenging, but you can rent a car if you feel like it. But, if you do decide to walk on foot, it will turn out to be an excellent workout for your legs.
From Como, you can take a ferry to Bellagio. We didn't have enough time, so we decided not to rush, but leave Bellagio for our next trip. If you choose to go to Bellagio, consider visiting Villa Serbelloni. I've heard so many nice things about it.
Traveling back home, I thought about the way the people live in such small towns. As for me, Italians don't like living unpretentiously - they choose to construct their buildings in the dangerous rocks and mountains instead of building their homes on plain land. These small, but beautiful communes located in the Larian Triangle prove that the humans don't conquer nature but blend in with the surroundings gracefully.
So, if you want to see the North of Italy, prepare yourself for mesmerizing views and lots of walks. Also, don't forget to bring your warm clothes, because it can be rainy and windy in the mountains. | <urn:uuid:1946f319-d955-48b8-8f84-6f666f8544d0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://seabehind.me/travelling-to-northern-italy/ | 2020-09-21T12:30:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.965756 | 806 |

Murray D. Lincoln formed the company the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Company with the goal of selling auto insurance at low rates for farmers in Ohio. In 1926, the first policy was sold. In 1928, Farm Bureau Mutual begins to expand into other states including West Virginia,Maryland, Delaware, Vermont, and North Carolina. By 1934, the company was insuring motorists in metropolitan areas and writing property insurance policies too and by 1943 was operating in 12 states and the District of Columbia. It was in 1955 that the company changed its name to nationwide,with an expansion into 20 new states. In 1982, Nationwide acquires a 100-year-old company and America’s leading farm insurer and goes public in 1997. In the year 2000, the Nationwide Arena opens and becomes home to a National Hockey League franchise, the Columbus Blue Jackets. In 2007, the Nationwide Bank opens.

Today, the insurance company prides itself on maintaining its midwestern roots and what it calls“small-town values.” In 1916, The Hardware Dealers Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Wisconsin (known today as Sentry) began writing auto insurance policies. Professor Stuart Struck formed the Dairyland Mutual Insurance Company of Wisconsin in 1953 and in 1966 The Hardware Dealers Mutual Fire Insurance Company acquired Dairyland, which sold specialty insurance to drivers who couldn’t otherwise get standard coverage due to poor drivingrecords, little driving experience or no prior insurance. In 1975 independent agents joined Dairyland and began selling motorcycle insurance. Two years later, they moved to a new headquarters in Steven Point, Wisconsin. Since 1992, Sentry has been rated A+ in financial strength from A.M. Best. Sentry, Dairyland’s parent company, celebrated 100 years of business in 2004. The following year, Sentry acquired Viking Insurance and doubled the size of Dairyland. Sentry has over $13 billion worth of assets and a policyholder surplus of $4.1 billion.

SRO Motorsports Group has called off plans to launch the Asia-Pacific 36 Cup this year, with the Sepang 12 Hours also on hold for the time being, according to Stephane Ratel.
The three-round championship, encompassing 12-hour races at Sepang, Bathurst and a new event at Hampton Downs, had been earmarked for a late 2018 launch with the round at the New Zealand circuit jointly prompted by SRO and Tony Quinn.
“For the moment it’s called off because, unfortunately, Sepang fell on its nose,” Ratel told Sportscar365.
“The situation with Australia has been a bit complicated. For that moment, it’s on hold.
“I’m keeping it in the back of my mind, but we have a lot on our plate right now.”
It comes on the heels of the cancelation of last year’s Motul Sepang 12 Hours, which was scheduled to close out the Intercontinental GT Challenge season.
SRO hosted the race in 2016-17 as part of a joint promotion with Sepang International Circuit, although it struggled to attract entries, and even more so, spectators to the former home of the Malaysian Grand Prix.
With the Asian leg of the IGTC moving to Suzuka, Ratel said there are currently no plans to return to Sepang.
“We did have two good years,” Ratel said. “We did pull out, and I have to say Benjamin [Franassovici, SRO series manager] worked very hard and the manufacturers trusted us and came.
“But the problem is that we were bringing the teams and… there were no spectators. Then the opportunity arose to go to Suzuka, which has a crowd.
“The principle of the Intercontinental is that we never do two races on the same continent.”
IGTC to Expand to Five Rounds?
Ratel said expansion plans for the IGTC continue, with the possibility of a fifth race in the years to come, in South Africa, while not completely ruling out a potential sixth round, which would be held in South America.
The IGTC is currently a four-round championship, featuring the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour, Total 24 Hours of Spa, California 8 Hours at Laguna Seca and the new-for-2018 Suzuka 10 Hours.
“We will stay with four, someday I hope five races,” Ratel said in reference to the possible revival of the Kyalami 9 Hours.
Ratel said his “last dream” would be for SRO to return to San Luis, Argentina, to the scenic Potrero de los Funes circuit, which hosted the FIA GT1 World Championship in 2010-11, as well as a round of the FIA GT Championship in 2008.
“If you consider South America a continent in itself,” he said with a smile, although stressed there are no current discussions with the Argentinean government for an immediate return. | <urn:uuid:9eadc457-ac7b-4088-a242-8f1792a20e41> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sportscar365.com/sro/sro-calls-off-asia-pacific-36/ | 2020-09-21T12:39:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.959319 | 636 |

Kathy: Simply Sick
Normally the kids are like me, strong like ox, but a nasty bug has been making its way around the community and they are stricken like chicken. They’re on the mend but it’s been almost a week of being completely off our schedule and normal daily rhythm. Like, not even getting outside. Kale’s looking a little grey around the edges but his cough is unsettling so inside it is for a couple more days.
Though it’s weird to see my normally screen-free kids veg out in front of with that glazed ‘sicky’ stare, I decided to surrender to the novelty of it; letting them do nothing at all other than quiet activities and naps while I dove into my projects in my studio while stopping every few moments to warm up soup, make more tea, and assist with many, many tea pees.
I have to admit I fought it at first and was grumpy, a little anxious even and concerned about the effect of not doing anything would have on the kids. But then I heard the sultry voice of Danielle Laporte say how life balance is a myth. The essence of life is fluid so it’s only natural that shifts in what needs to be tended to will unabashedly morph constantly. The best thing to do is to see these as opportunities for growth and to reassess what is important and needed in the family right now.
In the meantime I made sure the kids were lubed up with lots of liquids and did implement the bare essential rhythms; mealtimes and bedtimes and our Smokey Sunday pancakes (whipping them up smokes up the whole house — just to explain). I surrendered to life that happens, was reminded of the balance myth (which was a catalyst for reviewing some major life decisions), and saw an opportunity to tend to my own needs at a pivotal time in my career while the children’s growing bodies took on the necessary challenge to strengthen.
Do you want to share your bare minimum rhythm you adhere to even in times of crisis, transition or upheaval? Perhaps a little ritual? Please share in the comments if you feel inspired.

Coffee history and stories
There is no official evidence about the true origin of coffee. However, many stories have been told about it, and one of the most widely spread ones claims that the plant was discovered by a shepherd name Kaldi who lived in old Abyssinia, currently Ethiopia, about a thousand years ago.
The word coffee comes from the Arab word qahwa, which means wide. This is why coffee was known as “Arab wine” when it reached Europe in the 14th century.
In Brazil, coffee reached the city of Belém in 1722. Through explorers´ hands, coffee reached Suriname, Santo Domingo, Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Guyanas. At that time, the product was already valuable commercially.
With the right geographic and climate conditions, coffee set a new economic cycle in Brazil in no time. Haiti, the leading coffee producer at the time, was facing a crisis related to its struggle for independence from France, and that was when Brazil started to lead coffee exports.
For over a century coffee was Brazil´s greatest treasure and its commercialization benefitted the entire country. Its culture took up valleys and mountains, bringing with it the development of towns and of important centers. Railroads were built so it could be transported, substituting animal-based transport and further encouraging the inter-regional commerce of other important goods. Coffee brought numbers of immigrants to Brazil, consolidated the middle class, diversified investments and even intensified cultural movements.
In 1870 a great hailstorm hit the crops in the southeast region of São Paulo in full; the damage was insurmountable. This crisis lasted for some time and in 1929 the crash of the New York stock market was yet another blow to the coffee economy´s stability. Even so, after a few years, coffee once again became an important factor in the Brazilian economy. Despite having lost consumers to other producing countries, Brazil is currently the greatest coffee producer in the world as it currently holds approximately 32% of the international market share.
Different coffee species yield beverages with different flavors and aromas. Generally speaking, coffee plants flower from May to July. Coffee harvesting periods are usually from May to October.
Coffee production worldwide has increased in the past 30 years; on average, 1 million 60-kg bags are produced yearly. In 1970, the total volume worldwide was 65-70 million bags. Since 1999, that number has surpassed 100 million bags, according to the ICO (International Coffee Organization).
ROASTING: DEFINING THE FLAVOR AND AROMA OF THE COFFEE
During the roasting process, the coffee beans undergo great physical transformations which define its aroma and flavor. Water evaporates and the coffee beans become yellowish and crunchy. They also become lighter and approximately 25% bigger.
Temperature and roasting time are decisive factors in the final product´s aroma and flavor. If the coffee is not roasted long enough, the taste is bland. If it is roasted too long, the taste becomes bitter and strong.
The reason for that is that the coffee beans´ surface oil needs time to evaporate. When the bean is roasted too long, this oil is carbonized.
After roasting, the beans are quickly cooled so that the roasting process comes to an end.
In the past, roasting was essentially a family operation, practically artisanal. Nowadays this is process is done exclusively by machines, which yields a final product of greater quality. | <urn:uuid:4b27ba0b-c2fd-4647-b9da-e3511733df85> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://unicafe.com.br/index.php/en-gb/the-coffee/coffee-history-and-stories | 2020-09-21T11:36:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201699.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921112601-20200921142601-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96834 | 717 |
