If you are what you eat (or drink), you want to make sure that you’re selecting healthy, well-balanced choices. It’s also important to make sure your loved ones are eating enough to make sure their dietary needs are being met.
Nutritional supplements are often seen as good sources of vitamins and minerals for older adults who have issues with eating, such as problems chewing, or who do not otherwise get enough calories in their diets. Recently, however, the American Geriatrics Society put out a warning about many of the supplemental drinks such as Boost, Ensure, and others, saying they are closer to candy than to vitamins.
According to the drink’s nutritional data, an eight-ounce bottle of chocolate Boost Original contains 28 grams of sugar and no fiber, a higher sugar content than many popular children’s breakfast cereals. Doctors warn that, while these drinks are marketed as a way for older adults to stay strong and active as they age, the only place they have clear value is if the senior is malnourished.
If your loved one uses a nutritional supplement regularly, take a look at information in this article entitled, “Geriatricians: Beware Liquid Candy” from the New York Times’ The New Old Age blog.
For more information on healthy eating habits for your elderly loved one, visit the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website.
Ensuring older loved ones maintain a healthy diet and get the vitamins and minerals they need is extremely important. Contact Heaven at Home in Denton, Texas to learn how in-home care can help seniors improve eating habits and lead a happier, healthier lifestyle. | <urn:uuid:d5b436ee-0c8b-4183-b421-e2046f0940f7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.heavenathomecare.com/is-your-nutritional-supplement-safe/ | 2020-09-22T21:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206763.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922192512-20200922222512-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.958051 | 338 |
“Hey, this is Henry Stone. A few years before TK Disco, I took Benny Latimore aka Latimore to Bobby Dukoff’s studio in South Miami and cut a record called “Move and Groove Together.”
Last week, the premier episode of the new hit show “Orange Is The New Black” on Netflix featured the song during a sexy lesbian love scene. Here is the true story behind recording it.
Bobby Dukoff was known for saxophone playing. It was circa 1968. I didn’t have my studio set up yet at TK so I took Lat down to this studio not too far south from Specs Music Store by the University of Miami. We used to record there quite a bit in the 60s. I did a lot of recording there on Steve Alaimo, stuff like “Cast Your Fate To The Wind” on my Alarm label.
Dukoff’s was the only studio in town. Criteria wasn’t in business yet. And The Armory, where I cut the first version of “The Twist” with Hank Ballard and engineer Mack Emerman wasn’t a real studio. This was a regular studio.
So, “Move and Groove Together” was sung by Latimore around 1968, maybe 67′, 66′, 65′, I’m 90 years old, it was somewhere around that time. The song was written by Johnny Nash, an artist whose music I always loved. It came out on Dade Records as a 45. Down here in South Florida Latimore always sold well and that was it, until I had my Glades label under TK where he had a few million sellers like “Let’s Straighten It Out,” and a big seller, “Stormy Monday.” But at the time it was very localized.
So then, in about 2005 we digitized that vinyl and re-released it on a cd and put it on iTunes. We put out an album called “The Legendary Henry Stone Presents Latimore The Early Years.”
Dade, the label we originally released it on is the label that had “Mashed Potatoes.” That was a big national hit we had with Nat Kendrick and the Swans, which was the original James Brown band.
Through our internal efforts alongside Garret Morris of Fine Gold Music, who is one of our catalog representatives, we got the placement for “Move and Groove Together.” Garret heard the song and pitched it to the show and they thought it was a perfect fit for their premier episode.
Netflix and their original productions and their form of internet distribution are the future of entertainment. And as always, here we are in it, up to the minute and in it. Workin’ with Netflix, that’s how we roll. We see the future and we wanna participate.
One of the best parts of the whole thing is the song is so great. Hey, Joe cut me a single just so I can groove to it.
Roach Thompson was the guitar player on it. Just listen to it, so great, man. 1968, wow that was what 45 years ago? I just thought it was a great r&b song. We released it and got it on the air in Miami.
And now look where it is.
All the efforts that we’ve made in the past year to get synchronized placements on tv shows, movies, video games, we do that to keep the music alive, and also because it drives sales. This is the new music business, and we are in it to win it.
But you can’t recreate that sound. It happened in that time, and we luckily got it on tape. And now, we’re passing it on to the digital generation.”

August 8, 2020, 2:21 pmJamal MurrayPG, Denver Nuggets
Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that Jamal Murray (left hamstring tightness) will play on Saturday.
It'll be Murray's first game inside the bubble, giving a big boost to a Nuggets group that's gone without most of its normal guard rotation so far. Monte Morris will still hold fantasy appeal until Murray sheds any possible minutes restrictions. The Nuggets want him healthy for the playoffs so expect Murray to be handled cautiously upon his return. That's going to put a big damper on his fantasy outlook for the rest of the bubble games.

Car manufacturers in India are facing a peculiar situation that’s a not a favourable sign. Manufacturers are likely to persist with discounts and finance schemes due to continuing rise in petrol prices in hopes of pushing their sales into the market. The so-called promotional events did help some of the manufacturers to sell petrol cars to a fraction higher.
Furthermore, the hike in interest rates has made manufacturers launch finance schemes for the 3rd successive month as most of the Indian cars are purchased on credit, which accounts to nearly 70% while only 30% buy cars on cash.
Chief GM, Shashank Srivastava, Marketing, MSIL, says the change in situation accounts for the prolonged slowdown in the sales of cars.
SIAM (Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers) reported that car sales have dropped to 7,43,358 units at 1.26% in 5 months from January to August when compared to the previous year. Sales were completely down in July, which was recorded as the lowest when compared to sales in the last 2 years.
Oil retailers that are State owned did hike petrol rates to Rs. 66.84 per litre, a hike of Rs. 3.14, on Thursday in Delhi. On top of that, RBI made a 0.25% hike in its policy rates on Friday that made loans expensive now.
Due to the ongoing situation here, car makers are not comfortable and fear these circumstances would only hamper sales when in October festive season starts.
P. Balendran, VP, GM India says, during festivals, sales shoot up to 20%, but due to the current situation expects around 5% sales.
Director, Arvind Saxena, Marketing & Sales, Hyundai India, says the rise in petrol would only create more problems.
Director, Neeraj Garg, Volkswagen India, says due to the rise in petrol consumers would not be going for petrol cars, and they would still be persisting with aggressive schemes to push sales further.
Volkswagen’s finance schemes are offering as low as 6.99% on Polo and Vento (petrol) models, interest rates here are half of what commercial banks are offering.
A Volkswagen dealer in Delhi told the schemes introduced so far did help in cutting down petrol models’ inventory from forty five days to twenty five.
Amit Kasat, analyst, Standard Chartered Security, says the schemes and discounts are attributable to slowdown in sales rather than the increase in petrol recently.
Kasat further said the time is not far when one would see a slump in diesel cars with options limited when going for diesel cars. He made this statement with Hyundai not active in the diesel segment and Tata’s Indica not doing well when it comes to making individual choices.
An unidentified Nissan dealer for Nissan Motors India says they’re also launching similar schemes regarding interest rates and would also be persisting with this and so far have been seeing mixed responses.
Mumbai dealers are benefiting from such schemes with good sales while Delhi dealers are facing the blues and say customers are not even thinking of buying petrol cars despite attractive schemes offered. Delhi dealers say they’ve recorded 10% growth in sales over the past few months selling petrol cars.
Another analyst says the overall idea in luring customers into buying petrol cars was to cut down ownership costs and make the sales of petrol cars equal to that of diesel cars. The analyst feels this idea might be helping manufacturers push their sales, but in the process of doing so, would have to make a sacrifice regarding good profits. | <urn:uuid:4ad9f8fe-2e73-4be1-ab49-a10dd05de315> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.indiandrives.com/car-makers-forced-to-persist-with-special-discounts-and-schemes/ | 2020-09-22T19:48:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206763.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922192512-20200922222512-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96995 | 729 |

Note: This is an excerpt from a comprehensive paper by this author.
Conducting a Google search on “Generational Diversity” generates 13,400,000 results. Unfortunately these results focus primarily on defining and refining the term generational diversity and do not address the growing adverse impact that generational diversity is having on the American workforce. This article is an excerpt of a paper that highlights the need to understand and address one of several major consequences that generational diversity is introducing into the workplace.
During the decades from 1940 to 1960 most American workers worked for one employer for most, if not all, of their careers. During the next three decades economic growth and prosperity created more jobs and more opportunities for workers to advance their careers and their income by changing jobs and employers. In addition, the rapid introduction of new technologies such as calculators, computers, the Internet and mobile devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones further accelerated business growth and change. These changes have occurred so rapidly that older generation workers have not adapted to these new “tools” as quickly as the younger generations who grew up with this new devices and technology.
What’s interesting is that this rapid evolution of business change that I’m calling “Business Generations” are not associated with civilization generations, but rather are now defined by the evolutionary generations of technology. These business generations are introducing a new paradigm into the corporate workforce called Generational Diversity.
There is a growing Internet library of data being compiled that focuses on defining and documenting the characteristics and distinctions between the generally accepted “business generations” labeled … Maturists, Baby Boomers, GenX, GenY/Millennials and GenZ. And there is even a new iGEN which is still being defined.
The chart below (source: Robertson Associates) summarizes the principal characteristics of these business generations. Each generation has attributes and traits that differ, in some instances quite significantly, with regard to aspirations, attitude towards technology, attitude towards career, tools and technology (i.e. Signature product), communications media, communications preference and preferences when making financial decisions.
These distinct attributes and traits are going to make it increasingly difficult for companies with workers of Generational Diversity to effectively communicate and work together.
“Managing a multi-generational workforce is an art in itself. Young workers want to make a quick impact, the middle generation needs to believe in the mission, and older employees don’t like ambivalence.” Harvard Business School “Working Knowledge” Newsletter - April 17, 2006: “Can you manage different generations?”
IMPACT OF GENERATIONAL DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE
What this teaches us is that in today’s corporate world there are major differences in how workers of Generational Diversity think, perform, are motivated and work. These differences will undoubtedly lead to the potential for increased conflict and tension between the Business Generations within an organization. As a result employers will need to to effectively overcome and manage these differences in order to facilitate corporate success and reduce costly employee turnover.
Communication is the key to effectively bridging Generational Diversity within the workplace. Employers should first communicate and share the concepts of Generational Diversity with all their workers. Then employers should ensure that all workers are familiar and trained in the effective use of all the new business generation technologies used in the company. Finally, employers should establish and nurture a working environment of understanding and collaboration that will encourages workers of all Generational Diversities to help each other and to work together to be successful and flourish. | <urn:uuid:328e7b26-99f3-4ea4-8ea3-f4c12b451c10> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.langevinadvisors.com/single-post/2016/10/28/The-Impact-of-Generational-Diversity-Impact-on-the-American-Workforce | 2020-09-22T20:46:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206763.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922192512-20200922222512-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.941472 | 728 |

A look into Le Riche’s latest single, “River Runs”
We are getting a little tired of the hurricanes, the mass flooding, and the devastation. Right now a Category 4 hurricane rips through Puerto Rico, resurfacing emotions and anxiety amongst the island’s residents that forces the world to watch and interpret scenarios with their personal perspective or experience. Le Riche’s timeliness for “River Run,” his new single, may be unintentional to our stream of ocean-bred disasters, but it plays through to the multi-faceted perspectives that was conceptualized from the making of this song.
“During the writing process, I know we each had a different perspective for the direction the song was taking. For me this allows the song to wear “different hats”. It’s funny how you can write, or hear a song, and it can take on different meanings for you over time.”
Le Riche – River Runs
For some, the song could be thematic to mother nature. For others, waves of emotion re-surface from the past. This is what Le Riche saw in his song.
“When you least expect to run into someone and then you realize the feelings or emotions you once shared have suddenly resurfaced. Be it an old friend, lover from a past life, or a familiar looking stranger, when your eyes meet again you are overcome with nostalgia and the memories playback like a movie in your head.”
This may be Le Riche’s best song yet. “And the river runs deep.” The chorus carries weight from this line. Be it emotional or from a causality, his words ring in true pop fashion. There is a bounce in the rhythm that makes this song more melancholy in flavor. And that alone adheres to Le Riche’s songwriting theory. The past returns to reinforce your understanding of this particular aspect of life. Le Riche just opens to the door to building awareness from within and sounding bigger than he has ever sounded. There are so many quaint little touches to this song that we get a nicely controlled song. What we have in Le Riche’s exploration is not just excellent songwriting, but a catchy-as-hell composition that allows you to lose yourself in the beauty of pop perfection. | <urn:uuid:971e54cf-b37d-4faf-90be-8de0e8448af4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.selectivememorymag.com/2017/09/20/le-riche-river-run/ | 2020-09-22T21:10:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206763.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922192512-20200922222512-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.94618 | 488 |
Since GDC is primarily a conference for developers, the show floor is different than say E3 or CES. There are less consumer products being shown off, and more development tools being showcased. However, one product that was on the show floor that I had to get my hands (well, feet) on was the Virtuix Omni.
Xbox chief Phil Spencer has apologized for the Microsoft GDC 2016 party, after the company was blasted for hiring dancing girls on podiums as entertainment. The tone-deaf event took place after the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco on Thursday evening, ironically following a Microsoft-sponsored "Women in Games" lunch that took place earlier in the week.
Something I've wanted to do since I was a little kid was grab a lightsaber and fight bad guys with it. So when I was told that I'd be seeing a demo from ILMxLAB during GDC, you can be that I was pretty excited. After strapping on an HTC Vive and getting my controller ready (after being told I'd only need the one controller, I was pretty certain of what I'd need it for) the familiar text popped up: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
The Portal games are among my favorites for a number of reasons. I'm a big fan of solving puzzles and condescending robots, and those games really satisfied both areas. The second game wrapped up the story of Chell pretty neatly, but there's still a lot more to explore at Aperture Laboratories. While at GDC, Valve gave me a peek into some of the various Pocket Universes that we'll be able to explore in The Lab.
It is not yet the app-pocalyptic scenario that Epic Games' Tim Sweeney has been painting these past few days, but some might see the omens in it. At GDC 2016, Microsoft's Jason Ronald has confirmed that not only will Universal Windows Apps becoming to Xbox One soon, they'll be coming in Summer. Perhaps even more worrying to some who have sympathized Sweeney's point of view, Microsoft will also be merging the Windows Store and the Xbox Store into one, further emphasizing the image of one Windows 10 platform to rule them all.
The Samsung Gear VR (powered by Oculus) is set to get its own version of the upcoming VR version of Minecraft. This Microsoft-owned game was previously announced to be coming to the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset as well as the Microsoft HoloLens holographic headset - now it's coming to the mobile VR universe as well. This will not be the first time the non-VR version of the game hits mobile - that's been out for several years.
By now you've heard the big news about PlayStation VR, Sony's new PlayStation 4 virtual reality headset: it's being released this October, there's going to be plenty of games available, and it will cost $399. While that last bit certainly isn't a lie, it is a bit misleading, unfortunately. Part of the reason the pricing is such a big deal is because the PlayStation VR drastically undercuts the $599 Oculus Rift and $799 HTC Vive, but there's a few accessories required that Sony has neglected to put in the box.
Today we're going to run down the full lot of Oculus Rift launch titles - everything the company has announced will be coming to the VR headset as soon as possible. In these titles are some of the most fantastic games ever conceived for virtual reality - as well they should be. This company built itself on the idea that virtual reality is the future of gaming. As such, they've attracted some of the most amazing developers in the realm to create titles that'll absolutely blow you away.
Yesterday, Sony finally took the wraps off of their highly-anticipated PlayStation VR headset. With an entry price of just $399, it's significantly less expensive than the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. After the announcement I had a chance to test out the headset and see how it stacked up against the competition.
I've mentioned before that you need an open mind when going into any VR title. And when you hear that there's a game about climbing rocks in virtual reality, you really do need an open mind. The Climb lives up to its name, as you'll spend the whole game climbing. But your arms won't get too tired.
Not every game shown off at the Oculus preview event was a new title. A number of them were games that are currently available, with VR support. One such game was Project Cars. Project CARS has been available since May of last year, but in VR it provides a very new experience. | <urn:uuid:13c7e73f-7908-4099-a5ff-6839118c2611> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.slashgear.com/tags/gdc-2016/ | 2020-09-22T20:59:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206763.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922192512-20200922222512-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.97772 | 940 |

Q&A: Can I Give My Baby Gas?
This is a very common misconception, but the answer is: No. Gas is a byproduct of the digestive process. The foods that commonly give you gas, such as broccoli, cabbage, beans, etc., do so because their bulk and starch pass into your intestines, and the bacteria in your gut starts to digest them, releasing gas. This gas then collects in your intestines. This mass of food that the bacteria is breaking down does not pass through into your breast milk — it remains with the bacteria in your intestine.
Now, your baby will get gas on his own when his gut bacteria is breaking down the sugars and starches in your breast milk — again, a natural part of the digestive process. Babies can also swallow small amounts of air while they’re crying hard or if they’re gulping milk a little too quickly.
Sometimes babies have a hard time passing this gas that is trapped in their intestines, which can then be quite uncomfortable for them. Help baby by gently bringing his knees up to his tummy and then down again while he’s lying on his back. This can help some babies move the gas through. Other babies find relief if you gently massage their tummies (olive oil works really well for this) in a clockwise-as-you’re-looking-at-them motion. | <urn:uuid:a669ba81-5112-4191-b5e3-7bf45cc24438> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thebump.com/a/can-my-diet-give-my-baby-gas | 2020-09-22T21:23:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400206763.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200922192512-20200922222512-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96255 | 290 |

Last we blogged en route, we were on a plane bound for JFK, then Logan. You can imagine we were all a bit excited to see our families and friends. We made it through the complete chaos of customs, and after an hour and half, found out our flight had been canceled. The next flight was the next day, from LaGuardia! Twelve of God's disciples (hmmm) stuck in NYC. OSLC, however, has a connection in NYC with the Salvation Army, so Rob gave them a call to see if we could crash there, only to find out that they were all full - no room at the inn, as it were. The group that was there booked rooms at a mission house in the west side, not knowing the Salvation Army would accommodate them, so we gave them a call. Again, God watched over us, and they had just enough room for us, in rooms that had been paid for!
We got there at midnight after a lot of trains subways and walking. Phew. A bunch of us went to a deli and had some dinner, many of us had not eaten since breakfast, and hit the hay at 1:00am. We had 4 hours to sleep, get up and get a few taxis to LaGuardia.
We made it to the airport and got back home the next day, safe and sound. Well, with the exception of 8 of us ending up with some bad bathroom problems for several days, weeks in most cases. (Note: If the travel Doctor prescribes medicine for this, DO NOT DONATE ALL OF IT UPON LEAVING) I, for one, needed to get a new prescription upon my return.
Back in Haiti: Right now Momma is probably washing some laundry, there is a smell of garlic in the air, and in the distance, what sounds like an ice cream truck (it isn't though) is playing Christmas carols. That's right! Christmas Carols! All this is happening on the work site, which is now...a real house! As of last week, the only remaining task was to finish the roof. Can you believe it! They had a few ditches just a month ago, and nothing but manual labor built it. No tractors, Bobcats, or excavators, just shovels, picks, and sweat. Momma, Papa, and those cute kids are living a little better now thanks to the LORD leading us, and His provision of good health, injury-free work, and the gift of endurance we received in a dangerous and very hot environment.
The Clinic is as busy as ever right now. Gale Hull (co-founder) said they were seeing 5,000 people per year before the Earthquake, this year they are tracking for 60,000!! I know she misses the help our team gave her in caring for babies, working in the pharmacy, and helping with the travel clinic that goes to help people in tent cities in the Port-au-Prince area.
Gale was thrilled with the work done around the compound, too. Canvas shed-style roofs were made, shelves put up, doors fixed, etc. A long list of little things that needed attention.
But the real blessing is the family our team adopted. This family lives in a tent city with about 2500 people crammed in right next to each other. There are 7 of them now, Momma, Papa, and 5 Grandchildren. The Alexci family had a house that was destroyed by the earthquake, their daughter and 1 grandchild were killed. They have a baby, a young boy that has ringworm on his face, another in a wheelchair, and one with terminal CP, whom the Clinic treats to prevent constant seizing. The boy with CP requires constant care, and there are 3 other kids as well, so the Papa doesn't have time to work, or beg, so they rely on donations and...well, I am not sure what else. On our last day, we delivered food to this family, and adopted them through PID (Partners in Development)
I need to plug PID for a moment: Literally for pennies a day, you can support someone who needs food and essentials. Through PID (www.pidonline.org), I can guarantee that 100% of your donations will make it to a VERY needy person or family. Please email me, email@example.com for more information. Speaking for the team, I encourage you to sponsor a child or family, you can even keep track of them, write them, and maybe someday, visit them.
Lastly, I have told the team, famil,y and friends that one of the gifts of a Mission trip is all of the time surrounding the trip itself. What an opportunity to "talk God" with someone that you may never have had the opportunity! Before the trip, I spoke to a travel Doctor, Pharmacist, a Kohl's cashier...you get the point. We can share this trip, it's purpose, and our faith forever! Even as we were there, our blog was being shared by my friend Patty Mellon. We have all prayed for her while in the throes of Breast Cancer and a couple weeks ago she and her team called "The Tough Warrior Princesses" walked 60 miles in the Susan G. Komen 3 day walk for cancer. She had New Balance as a sponsor, and a crew there to interview and follow them. The point being, think of all the people that we may have touched that we never would have had it not been for our faithful answer to God's calling.
Keep sharing, the Haiti Mission isn't over yet...
Thanks Patty, we are praying for you and for a cure!
...right back at ya! http://www.pattys3day.blogspot.com/
When we arrived at the worksite, we found barely dressed and barefooted children playing in destruction and rubble. A family of 8 living in a small tent in the midst of what once used to be a cement house (or should I say two cement 8 x8 rooms put together). When you see some commercials on tv that have a little child barely dressed and barefoot playing in dirt and rubble and the caption saying “for pennies a day you can feed these children,” this is what they are talking about. This is our unseen, un-talked about, “turn the other way so we do not have to deal or acknowledge it” reality. We were there to make a difference in these people’s lives like we are called to do - Use our bodies as vessels for Gods glory.
As a team we started to clear out a dirt and rock foundation in order to build a more secure and stable house. We chipped and picked away at the rubble while pieces flew everywhere. They flew into and on the family’s tent which was less than 5 feet away from our work. There, lying alone in the doorway was a 6 month old baby - dirty, soiled pants and no diaper, a fly haven. That’s when I felt I reached my limit. I have a baby girl Samantha Grace, who is only a couple of months older then this baby girl (Essoilinne). I was emotionally frozen, speechless. The emotion connecting a little life in such an atmosphere, to my baby girl who is away from her father for the first time was overwhelming. How was I to go on? I was disappointed with my situation.
One of my favorite preachers, Charles Stanley once said, because disappointments can come and they're unavoidable, you could get covered with discouragement in a moment. We don’t have to accept it, discouragement is a choice. On what basis, one might ask - God loves us, he is a good God, he is all powerful, he’s with us, he’s going to see us through it, and he promises to never leave us. Then it was mentioned several times on our trip that God never gives you more than you can handle. Sometimes that is easier said lived, especially when you are in the midst of adversity.
I grabbed my worked boots (in this case – Reebok gym shoes) and tightened the strings getting ready for battle. I had to put on the armor of God. All the negative thoughts of why I can’t do this were flowing freely. Then I felt the presence of the Holy Spirit calming me – through connection of all of your prayers. I reached the turning point. I could go on! If it wasn’t us to help build, it would just be someone else – or would there be? I realized that the faster we helped build this house, the faster this family and baby can have a somewhat real shelter over their heads. Needless to say, I was able to acknowledge my surroundings the rest of the way even though I felt numb to the reality of its dire devastation and hopeless situation.
With all this devastation, why should we attempt to help? What can we really accomplish? It reminds me of the little boy on the beach story: One day a
little boy was walking down the beach. There were thousands upon thousands starfish that washed ashore after a storm (or in this case – a dismantled government or affects of an earthquake). The little boy bent down and threw one starfish back into the ocean. He kept on doing this as he walked along. Passing him walking the other way was an old man. He stopped and asked the boy, “What are you doing”? The little boy said kindly to the man, “I am throwing the starfish back in the ocean.” The older man grunted and walked on. Then the little boy heard in the distance the older man yelling back to him “you can’t make a difference for there are too many.” The little boy bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it back into the ocean. The boy looked back at the man and said, “I made a difference to that one.” This little story holds a big truth for all of us.
I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. But in reality, the Haitians gave to us, they gave to me. We are so afraid of what we are going to have to give up following God. We think we are going to help others, which in part we did. However, they in part helped me by showing their joy and peace in the mist of having the least – which in reality is the greatest.
Before I left, I was so focused on what I was going to do, what profound and great change I can make for them. However, it was the Haitian people, who had the impact on me. The gift they gave me was simplicity and joy. Hope. No mental clutter or emotional havoc. It has been years since I had had so much peace in my life. Now to hold on to it with the Grace of God.

Yesterday was the six-month anniversary of the earthquake. It is impossible to estimate how vast the damage of the earthquake was. Six months after the earthquake, the airport is using a corrugated cargo shed as its Arrivals terminal. The real terminal has large cracks running through the concrete and there is not a single man or piece of equipment working to repair it. The presidential palace, which we could see out the window, lies vacant and broken, with sight-lines like a Picasso painting. How can you try to estimate the damage when two key pieces of infrastructure like that haven’t been touched in half-a-year? The UN tried to get a list of operational hospitals from the Haitian government and found that fifty percent of the hospitals and clinics on the official list were no longer in existence, or no longer operational. We met a nurse from an Adventist hospital downtown. She said they had been without power for three days. There had been a mix-up in paying the electricity bill so the city shut it off. Because their generator had caught fire a few weeks earlier, no power meant the water pump shut off too. An eighty-bed hospital was without electricity or water in 98-degree heat. The nurse’s room was a bed in one of the hospital rooms, shared with a hospital patient.
I share these things to help you know how overwhelming the need feels here. The systems were broken long before the homes were. To be honest, it can be overwhelming if you look at the larger view. A frequent topic of conversation among our team (especially the problem-solving alpha males) was how we wished we could fix the systems, how relatively easy it could be to provide these people with reasonable living arrangements, reliable public services like trash removal (they burn their piles of trash on the street) or clean drinking water (they rely on unpredictable water trucks or underground cisterns which sometimes have trash or waste in them).
But let me paint another picture for you. Adline is a woman of maybe 45. She has five girls and three boys. Their home collapsed in the earthquake, but no one was hurt. The oldest boy, Woodson, 20, makes deliveries for a local shop. Adline does laundry for Partners in Development, hanging it to dry on lines slung over the walls where her new home is being built. When Adline makes the seven-minute walk to deliver the clean laundry to PID and pick up the day’s dirty laundry, her six-month old daughter, Essoilinne, and four-year old daughter, Cristina, are cared for by her 6-year old son, Bebe. When her 12-year-old son, Billy, returns from school, he helps prepare their food, usually rice or plantains. Together they play, they laugh, they cry. They live in two tents, both under a tarp that is slung from tree branches and reinforcement bar on top of a nearby unfinished wall. Their eyes are a beautiful mocha brown, their teeth clean and white, their smiles quick and broad. Adline is fond of saying, “God bless you, my friend,” in Creole and is quick with a laugh and smile when she hears, “Amen,” in reply.
This is the family whose foundation we built. They are still probably a month or more from having a home, but their hope and joy were palpable, and as we left, we shared the bittersweet tears of friends who part almost as quickly as they met, friends who toiled side-by-side through heat and rain and sweat. We were told by PID’s construction director that he was extremely impressed by our work this week. He thanked us for our strength and our love for the family and the other workers (who found great glee in teaching us salty Creole words instead of the actual names for the people and objects around us). This team from OSLC, most of whom had never met one another six weeks ago, changed the lives of that family.
Let me paint another picture for you. Jean-Claude Alcide squats in a four-man Coleman tent, waving flies off his son, Nicoury. Nicoury has cerebral palsy and will not live more than eight weeks more. He is probably about 10 or 11. Jean-Claude lives with his wife and her mother, with five of his own children, and his two grandchildren. Their mother, his daughter, was killed in the earthquake when their house collapsed. They moved into a tent in the city square, but were forced to re-locate. The government told them they would have a village on a farm. They were put in the corner of a sugar cane field owned by the Barbancourt rum factory. There is no drainage system, no septic. At the entrance to the village is a hog barn. Next to it is a tent the village uses for birthing. There are 2500 people on what must be about 10 acres of land, divided into three sections.
One day, as PID nurses walked through the tent village, Jean-Claude cried out to them, “You must help my son!” Nicoury was seizing and he was not breathing. Jean-Claude handed his son to these three white people in scrubs, who immediately rushed him away to the clinic. Jean-Claude didn’t know their names, their affiliation, or the location of their clinic. So desperate was he that he gave his son to complete strangers just because they looked like doctors. The nurses were able to revive and stabilize Nicoury. They returned him to Jean-Claude and his understandably panic-stricken wife the next day. She had been away from the tent when Nicoury was taken and didn’t know where her son was. Since that day, PID has been delivering anti-seizure medicine for Nicoury, as well as medication to Ashley, Jean-Claude’s younger son who has a badly swollen and infected leg, and to Jeanle, the four-year old grandson who has ringworm on his cheek.
On Sunday night, we asked Gale how much it would cost to feed this family of ten in their two small tents for a month. She said about $25-30. Our team is now sponsoring the whole family for the entire year at $50 a month to help offset the cost of the medicine. With pride, Jean-Claude arranged his family outside their tent for a family photo. We took the photo and said a prayer with them, thanking God for his endless love and perfect care.
Haiti is far too damaged to fix. There is no way to even estimate how many lives were lost in the earthquake. Countless bodies are still in the rubble and you cannot check public records if public records are not kept. If you look at the entire picture, you lock up, you freeze. The damage is too vast, the corruption and dysfunction too crippling. But if you look at Adline and her family, or at Jean-Claude and his, you can see hope, love, and a future.
I feel like I leave this trip with a better sense of why God became human, and what that means. When God looks at humanity, he doesn’t just see our broken system – the unending pattern of sin and failure – he sees faces, lives, stories. He didn’t just die to save humanity, he died to save each human. If I have anything to be thankful for because of this trip, it is that God has shown me how He works here on earth. He does it through relationships. I have been blessed to form some fast, but very strong relationships with about a dozen or more Haitians and Christ’s love has flowed through me to them and through them to me. On returning to the USA and our comfortable daily lives, I pray that each one of us would grow those same relationships with the people around us every day. Grow the relationships and then let Christ’s love and truth flow through them. That’s how the world changes – you change one person’s world at a time.
Thank you all for your prayers, your love, and your support. I hope I get to return the favor sometime – where will you go?

For the construction crew, it was extremely hard work, without much relief. You can’t just run in the house for a cold drink, or enjoy the AC. Our respite was warm water and some shade under a few palms. God really watched over us, none of pulled a muscle, got hurt beyond a few scratches, or even got sunburned. We accomplished far more than I ever thought we would with His help. In a few weeks (or less!) this family will be able to move from a tent with canvas extensions, into a new house. We got to know their family, from Momma to her 8 kids. We left them some gifts and food today, a prayer and some hugs. We will never forget them. (Picture: Church we attended Sunday)
The clinical crew was taking care of babies, patients and making ‘house’ calls. I think they all got some additional experience, and for sure saw things they had never seen before. They were busy all day. People lined up early in the waiting area outside, and seemed to never stop. They can’t get enough help and supplies for these people, who ALWAYS say, “Merci Jesus”.
Mike N spent a lot of time on the compound with sporadic help from the crew. He made a desk, put up shelves, made a whole ‘shed’ type roof for their patio and a lot more. We missed him on the site, but I’m glad that we had him to get some handyman things done.
I had one day away from the team. As some of you know, I am a student pilot, and I have some aspirations of using that for mission aviation. There is an organization that brings our Sudan team in and out, called Mission Aviation Fellowship(MAF) They deliver teams, supplies and natives to and from remote areas. I had a chance to fly a few missions here and Haiti, and I did that on Friday. We flew 3 missions delivery missionary groups, much like us, to some remote areas. I met a pilot and a young man in the office whose faith was inspiring and I got an idea of what is involved in this critical role in Gods plan that WE spread his word and love.
We finished our study of the book of James last night and it just reinforced to me how much group study and fellowship are important to understanding, encouraging and living by Gods word. We helped many people, but only a fraction of those who need it. I think this was a different trip, not just being the first time OSLC has come to Haiti, but the fact that we came to help with earthquake relief instead of the normal agenda of a VBS to host, or a Seminary to document, just plain old hard work. To our amazement and delight, we weren’t alone. We met the most faithful, thankful, loving people we could have ever asked for. It was worth every bead of sweat. (and there was a lot!)

In fact, the camaraderie has been family-like. Teasing, but encouraging; joking, but seriously processing together. No one has been stand-offish, domineering, or inflexible. The conditions have been challenging, but our interactions have been great. I can honestly say I wasn’t so sure as we had our first meeting – it is a very disparate group, but our dynamic has been a real blessing to me and I think to our fellow laborers as well, both in the clinic and on the job site.
Anyway, I thought you’d want to know that your prayers are working. Keep them up, as we’ll be putting in our last full day tomorrow and it could be a challenge after a day off. Though, to be honest, most of us were chomping at the bit to get back to work by mid-afternoon today.
We love you all, our families and church family, and we will see you soon!
This has been a very hard week. The heat is so oppressive here and trying to do any construction work is a challenge to say the least. While it’s tough for me, there’s no escape for most of the people we’re helping as they’re living under tarps or run down tents with no running water, no food, no toilets, no anything… many are sick and malnourished. They seem to more used to the heat than we are but it’s still a constant factor making existence all the more difficult.
We’re been working hard at the construction site and in the clinic but after the first day, I haven’t been able to join the others at the site as Gail has had me working on a number of projects at the PID facility itself. Since the dorm is newly constructed, it still needed shelves to be hung in the various bedrooms, some repairs in the clinic and a new fence and a new overhang for the outside dining/meeting area.
Today in particular was very difficult in a different way… we went early in the morning to a “tent city” down the road that was set up on a pig farm. The difference is that these people, families, were displaced from Port-au-Prince after the earthquake hit and so were not used to living with nothing in the surrounding country. We went to give medicine to a father who’s wife and daughter were killed in the quake and is now taking care of 7 or 8 children on his own including a 7 year old son who has seizures constantly unless he’s on meds. Three of the other children had other medical issues like Ring Worm, leg infection, etc… After seeing this father doing his best to take care of his family, we went for an hour’s ride to go to church and then see a different side of Haiti at a beach “resort” of sorts. After seeing this father in the morning and then seeing people an hour away playing in the sun and ocean without a care except that their coconut shell cocktail was empty, was surreal and infuriating. I don’t know what to make of it still…
Tomorrow I need to finish up the various projects on my list and then we’ll start to think about coming back home. I hope all are well.
Bye for now,

THIS IS FROM FRIDAY
It was a great day for another great life experience here in Haiti at the construction site of the house we are rebuilding. Family life in Haiti continues all round us on the construction site with children sitting with us and socializing, clothes being washed for the PID Group and dinner being prepared on a small stove (makeshift) right next to where we are throwing rocks (chain gang style to one another in a line) along with passing buckets of concrete being prepared by hand in front of the house. We have met a lot of characters working with us that are great to work with building the house. Scott Seiler has assumed the responsibility of tutoring all of us on the fine art of throwing buckets of concrete to each other. We actually now have it down to a science. We all have our war wounds now with nicked shins from errant tosses of buckets as well as empty buckets hitting my head at the same time. Life is going well with the youngest of the group, Trevor Pituck out working us all. In my case, I blame on youth being on his side, but his work ethic is impressive never the less.
Our day ended with our PID coordinator, Maxim Genault, inviting us to meet his family (brothers and sisters and parents. Maxim is one of the most mature 20 years old I have ever encountered. To see 10 people (2 adults and 8 children) as one happy family unit in a (2) two room house is pretty remarkable. His Mom was not feeling well and sleeping on the small front porch, still no complaining, she got up at Maxim’s prodding for a family picture of all who were present during our short visit (see Picture of Maxim’s family). Overall, to see the love that Maxim has for his family was just a great encounter for all of us present.
The one thing we have all learned to yell out and laugh at with all the workers at the site is fatique or as they say it in Creole “fatigay”. Nice to see that we all have a similar word for tired. Heat and humidity are not our friends. We just enjoy the fresh breeze that comes along during our respite under the few palm trees where we sit for our breaks. God is with us here in Haiti.
Every day in Haiti has brought so many new experiences. Today I was able to go to collect supplies at ‘Big Pauls’. ‘Big Paul’ was a 34 year old man who was a photographer prior to setting up a base house in Haiti. He heard about the earthquake and felt compelled to help the people of Haiti. He couldn’t get a ticket into the country so he took a flight into the Dominican Republic and then took a bus over to Haiti. He rented out a huge house that a family lived in prior to the earthquake. The family is currently living in front of the house in a tent because they’re afraid the house will collapse on them in another quake. Big Paul visits warehouses and transports pallet donations of medical supplies, food, clothing…. Back to his house. He then contacts organizations (like PID, Partners in Health….) and passes all of the supplies on to them. We were able to obtain a Tap-tap load and truck load of free medical supplies. It took about an hour for the team to unload the Tap-tap and put the medical supplies away.
After we finished unloading the medical supplies we took a Tap-tap to a Sugar Cane Museum. The guide could only speak in Creole. Our translator did a good job with the help of the rest of the team trying to determine what he was telling us. Michael convinced the driver to take us to get souvenirs. We drove to a beautiful souvenir site, we pulled over and all unloaded and discovered that ‘souvenir’ in creole also means cemetery. We took a great photo outside the cemetery and then made a quick departure before the beginning of a funeral. Needless to say there were no souvenirs purchased!

‘You’re on track,’ the gym instructor said to me last week, little knowing that I had dragged myself in and that from time to time I kept telling myself, I’d like to give up on this regime of twice weekly weight lifting.
But I don’t.
I must do this till the end of my life or at least until my body says, no more. I can hardly bear the thought. Endless hours at the gym trying to stop my body from its inevitable decline.
I suppose it offers borrowed time.
It means I feel less shaky on my legs. It means I can go longer distances, walk further and not feel the trembles every time I get above twenty steps.
It means I’m still in the land of the living.
Even so, I long to rid myself of this suitcase body of mine and stretch to greater heights.
There’s still a red scar where my wound happened over a month ago now. It took so long to heal. I measured the whole of my time away in Edinburgh by the pain in my finger. It ached more in the cold and every day I kept applying the special plastic bandage the doctor had ordered for me. This bandage allowed the right amount of moisture through, air and whatever else is needed for healing.
And now I can’t go to the gym today because it’s Anzac day. A reprieve and an annoyance.
It’s hard enough to motivate myself but when the government offers a disincentive in the form of a public holiday where everything is meant to close down – not that it does – then I have to find the motivation tomorrow or the next day.
And all of this in honour of a battle that was anything but a victory and even if it was, should we be happy about celebrating it?
Scenes from my father’s war in Europe:
Another of my daughters is going away soon, overseas, this time for an indefinite period, and this time to Japan.
I have to choke back the lump in my throat that stops me from saying, ‘Don’t go’. I have to encourage her at every turn.
It’s a good thing to go away to explore new places, new cultures, new lives, but all the time the tug of home reminds me of why I hate to travel. Why I hate to stray too far from home.
My mother once told the story of how in her first few weeks in Melbourne when she lived with her husband and five children in a converted chook shed, she struggled to adjust to this new place so far from Holland.
One day as she swept the kitchen floor of the bungalow, through the open door, she noticed the parish priest drive by in his car. She saw him and waved, but he did not see her.
At that moment a rush of pain ran through her body.
Back home in Haarlem, the parish priest knew her well. Back home in Haarlem, he would not drive by and ignore her. He would stop and visit for morning coffee after Mass.
Back home my mother was someone. Here in Australia she was a no one.
At times my mother shifted from this sense of not being wanted or known into deriding the rest. This country, these people, these Australians, they lack culture.
They have no art, no history, no ancient buildings. They do not know about fine food, and they do not discuss important ideas. They are ignorant and boorish and at parties the men stand at one end of the room and drink beer together while the women huddle at the other end or in the kitchen over cups of tea.
I tried then to imagine what the word ‘culture’ meant.
If Europeans possessed culture, then could culture have something to do with the way the men on building sites – the men who to me looked to be mainly European, Italians, Poles, foreigners – behaved?
These men worked hard and smoked cigarettes. They wolf whistled whenever a young woman walked past.
Was this culture? Was this what my mother longed for, to be recognised, to be wanted?
The wolf whistles were meant to be complimentary, or were they?
By the time I reached adolescence and these workers whistled at me, I felt the conflict of pleasure at being noticed with a wish to be hidden and left alone.
It felt as if I was taken over in some way, but this had to be good I told myself. This was a sign of approval. This meant I was desirable.
Yet if these men actually talked to me or knew me in any way, then they would change their minds. They would see how I was awkward and could not string words together. They would see the state of my teeth and recoil.
Or in turn, I might recoil at the sight of their arm muscles, the clumsiness of their broken English or the smell of BO that ran off their bodies.
Was this culture?
And now when I am beyond the wolf whistles of the past, when I see them all so differently, when I reflect on such attitudes as patronising, objectifying and a thinly disguised sign of contempt for women, I’m troubled by my childhood self.
The way I saw things then.
These old views clash with what I see around me now.
And once when I was young I might have thought I could continue to get away without exercise – my body, a suitcase rigid and inert, a mere carry all.
My mind the only thing to matter once I gave up on my soul.
But I still despise war, not only for those of us who suffer its consequences but most of all for those who must live through it and if they’re lucky enough to survive must live with the consequences of what they have seen, done, and heard.
How can we fight against that?
Going to the gym will only take a person so far. | <urn:uuid:70f54cdf-7e6f-4f47-b6d2-51f25143c737> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://sixthinline.blogspot.com/2015/04/ | 2020-09-24T04:20:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.974307 | 1,247 |
Spotting a bully is more nuanced than it might seem, because there is a difference between general aggressive behavior and bullying. They are not the same thing, according to the findings of a new paper by a University at Buffalo psychologist who is among the country’s leading authorities on aggression, bullying and peer victimization.
“It’s important for us to realize this distinction, in part because every aggressive behavior we see is not bullying,” says Jamie Ostrov, lead author of the forthcoming paper to be published in a special issue of the Journal of Child and Family Studies.
“Certainly aggressive behaviors are problematic in their own right and also deserve our attention, but recognizing the differences in the two behaviors means we can begin a discussion about whether we have to do something different with interventions related to general aggression.”
Ostrov, who was a member of an expert panel at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Department of Education that worked to determine a uniform definition of bullying, will also present the findings from his latest research at the International Society for Research on Aggression world meeting in Paris, France, on July 11. http://www.israsociety.com/world-meetings/upcoming/
“We’re certainly excited to share these results with our colleagues around the world,” says Ostrov. “Our work with the CDC and the Department of Education has had a national focus. Now we can take this work and present it globally.”
Psychologists conceptualize bullying as a subtype of aggression.
Aggressive behaviors are meant to hurt or harm. Bullying is a repetitive behavior further characterized by a power imbalance between two parties, such as one child against a group or a bigger child against a smaller child, according to Ostrov, a professor in UB’s psychology department.
The two studies detailed in Ostrov’s paper come out of his work to develop that definition and empirically test whether general aggression is different from bullying behavior.
“That’s the fundamental question guiding this paper,” he says. “The other component here is that we’re focusing on early childhood. There have been researchers who examined similar questions in adolescence, but we wanted to see what happens in children between 3- and 5-years-old.
Bullying can be physical, involving hitting, kicking, pinching or taking things away from someone. There is also relational bullying or social exclusion, where kids might say, “You can’t be my friend anymore” or “You can’t come to my birthday party.”
“Victimization is receiving; aggression is displaying; bullying adds the power imbalance and repetition,” says Ostrov.
Using teacher reports for one study with 85 students and a second study that combined teacher reports and behavioral observations by a research staff on 105 students, Ostrov and his colleagues—Kimberly E. Kamper-DeMarco, a post doctoral associate at the UB Research Institute on Addictions; Sarah J. Blakely-McClure and Kristin J. Perry, both students in the UB clinical psychology Ph.D. program; and Lauren Mutignani, a Ph.D. student at the University of Arkansas—found relational aggression was associated with increases in relational victimization in both studies.
“We have to keep this distinction in mind—it matters,” he says. “It’s also validating our overall definition of bullying. There is something distinctive about bullying.”

On June 22, the union ministry of human resource development (HRD) announced that UGC has brought in new set of regulations to supersede the ‘Promotion and Maintenance of Standards of Academic Collaborations between Indian and Foreign Educational Institutes Regulations 2012’, the only rudimentary legal framework in the country that governs working of Foreign Educational Institutions (FEIs) in India. Under the new regulations, which will appear in official gazette shortly, Indian Universities and Colleges, having the highest grade of accreditation/ threshold accreditation, will now be able to apply online to the University Grants Commission (UGC) for starting twinning and collaborative arrangement with quality FEIs in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes leading to the award of a degree. The degree will be awarded by the Indian Educational Institutions (IEIs) alone; joint degrees are not permitted. However, the name of the collaborating FEI can be indicated on the degree, the logo and primacy being of the Indian institution. Credits from collaborating FEI when jointly signed by the IEI shall form part of the transcript. FEI may also sign the transcript/credit issued by the IEI. While the present announcement is not applicable to technical institutions governed by AICTE regulations, new regulations on similar lines have been promised soon by the ministry
Under the earlier regulations, it was the collaborating FEI which had to submit a written MoU to UGC for approval and the Indian partner had to take prior approval of the commission including vetting of the agreement. The cumbersome approval process was seen as a major irritant in academic collaborations with Indian HEIs. Interestingly India has been trying to have a legal framework for opening its higher education sector to foreign education providers for over a decade now. The Congress-led UPA introduced The Foreign Educational Institutions Bill to enable reputed FEIs to open campuses in India but was vehemently opposed by a united opposition from left to right and eventually the bill lapsed even after it was introduced in Lok Sabha. The outgoing UPA-II in its penultimate year, that is, 2013 (September) as a last attempt tried to take the executive order route to open the doors for the top 400 institutions to set up campuses in the country and award degrees, but that too didn’t too take off.
It may be mentioned that due to the lack of good institutions in India and growing competition for limited seats amongst the existing institutes, more than 3 lakh students go offshore annually for studies with about half of them to USA. An estimate by ASSOCHAM a couple of years concluded that students going abroad in such numbers cost India as much as US $17 billion a year in lost revenue loss. And the number of students going out is growing each year. All eyes are now on the New Education Policy for spelling India’s intention and vision on this long pending issue, where reportedly more than 10 states have favoured FEIs setting up campuses in India.
In this context, the new UGC regulations can be considered as a half-baked measure. Nonetheless, private universities are much relieved and happy that the approval process has been eased and made time bound. “This is a really a bold step towards the government’s push to broaden the scope and improve the quality of education in the country,” said Dr. G. Viswanathan, Founder& Chancellor, VIT University, Vellore & President, Education Promotion Society for India. “The new norms are expected to provide sufficient autonomy to raise the quality of education through these foreign collaborations which may also facilitate mobility of students from foreign institutions to Indian campuses,” says Dr Prashant Bhalla, president of Manav Rachna International University, Faridabad.
The union HRD Minister Smriti Irani who made the announcement said that this step has been taken by the UGC in order to promote foreign collaborations with a view to increasing synergy between Indian and foreign academic institutions, to offer students additional choices, improve curriculum and the delivery of knowledge and educational content. “The amendments respond to a felt and aspirational need expressed by students to engage with FEIs of repute, study in part in these institutions and acquire a formal recognition of this in the degree and related transcripts,” she added.
The Regulations stipulate that only IEIs with ‘A’ grade or threshold accreditation (or IEIs other than governing institutions) should have experience of 6 years or at least 2 batches passed out and similarly ‘A’ grade or threshold level accreditation if the IEIs in their own country will be eligible for collaboration. “A bench mark for quality has therefore been set for the collaborations. To maintain academic credibility and seriousness, a minimum duration of collaboration has been specified under one semester for postgraduate degree and 2 semesters for undergraduate degree,” said the statement issued by the ministry.
However, not everybody is going over the moon on the new relaxations. “Suppose I am a NAAC B institution and want to improve through faculty and student exchanges, getting resource for enhancing quality of educational services etc, but under these regulations I even can’t apply or talk to a foreign institution. So, how are you helping Indian higher education?” questions Brig Brig (Dr) R S Grewal, VSM (Retd), Vice Chancellor Chitkara University (Solan HP) adding that such regulations only add to licence raj in higher education as the ‘babu’ in regulator is till the power to be in deciding whether I am allowed to collaborate on academics.”Instead the role of regulator and the government should be preparing a list of FEIs who have dubious credentials and with whom we shouldn’t collaborate. Dos and Don’ts kind of advisories. Rest, academic collaboration should be left to universities if you respect their autonomy,” he adds.
For students wishing to study abroad, for the experience, exposure and academic benefits, this arrangement if works represents lower cost to achieve that. Whether it leads to provision of ‘foreign’ quality education within the country through collaborative route will be interesting to watch in coming years. Let’s hope, the government will also welcome FEIs and provide them direct entry into country for improving higher education in India. | <urn:uuid:fd6ca560-790c-4496-a6db-a013360b7690> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.curriculum-magazine.com/academic-collaboration-with-feis-eased/ | 2020-09-24T05:38:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.958341 | 1,284 |
Addy Sung Kam-loi, aka Tai Siu Un (meaning “big eye, small eye), hailed from a Cantonese opera family. His father Pak Shing-fan (stage name), was a Cantonese opera actor and percussionist, his brother was a percussion section leader in Cantonese opera troupes, while his sister was a Cantonese opera singer. Sung learnt Chinese opera from his father and was adept at playing drums. In 1964, he appeared in Homeless Children as a child actor, later studying martial arts under action performer Chan Siu-pang. Sung started working as a stunt man and actor in the 1970s, appearing in almost 100 films, although mostly in minor roles except for his part as a policeman in the RTV series Operation Manhunt (1977).
In addition to acting, Sung had also tried his hands in scriptwriting, directing, producing and action choreography. He directed and acted in a series of action films, including Four Robbers (1987), Escape from Kingdom (1988), Bloody Hero (1991) and The Son of Dragon (1992), in which he appeared in roles tailored for himself, highlighting his skills as performer and martial arts expert. The films fared poorly at the box office and Sung reverted to his real name and returned to the opera stage, where he still remains active as a percussion section leader.

Taking care of one’s finances is not only smartness but is also a wise move over the period. Managing money will determine the stability in one’s standard of living and the quality of life.
The ability to tackle various kinds of financial emergencies with well-managed funding acts as a useful tool against multiple risks and unfavorable circumstances. Not only for emergencies, but sound accumulated finances will assist for a good vacation or extended trip towards the destination of your dreams.
Tips On Saving Your Finances
Listed below are some of the ways of managing one’s personal funds:
All very well know the importance of saving a lot of earnings.
They are familiar with the knowledge about various tools to accommodate better saving habits, but how many of these do get implemented. The highest emphasis on managing one’s finances is in the part of making good savings. It’s advisory that around a minimum 20% of your monthly income should be saved.
A systematic and methodological way of savings can reap a good harvest at the time of any financial emergency.
Very easy to term, the part of investments in the role of money management is crucial.
Unless one learns to invest smartly, how so many amounts a person makes, does not make any difference. By investing rightly, any amount of money can get converted into even four times the amount invested, and this leads to super-profits.
Whether it is any mutual funds or any index funds, the power of compounding will only lead to good money-making.
Additionally, people in fear of losing out on their hard earnings can make use of professionals like stock broking companies to professionally handle funds without any scope for losses.
- Pay off Debts
Another essential aspect of managing one’s finances is that of paying off one’s accumulated debt when one starts to earn right, instead of elaborate spending credit or even undertaking any investments.
One must pay off loan debt, along with the interest as soon as possible.
Debt in the hands of a person, subsisting will only lead to term the person as having bad creditworthiness and low credit score. Timely repayment of debt can not only earn the person a good reputation, but most of the people in the capacity of lenders will quickly provide various funding options.
It leads to ease in lending in the future, along with a good credit score.
- No Credit Cards
Not many people heed to this advice, but we can state that the presence of credit cards is one of the primary reasons for many bad debts of people and passive lifestyle of people.
Making the swipe of credit cards for purchasing anything is secure, and often this is the reason for much consumerism we can witness today.
The latest style, brand, and fashion consciousness are getting its stimulus in the form of quick debt money. People only realise their folly while repaying the number of funds already spent.
The degree of spending on frivolous things through credit card is very high, and so, from the very start of one’s earning life, none of it should be taken.
- Avail Tax Benefit
Not many people are aware of the complex and technical aspects of the taxation of one’s income.
Seemingly boring, the taxation aspect is not much pondered by people because of thoughts that they have no role in it.
Whatever might be the income level; the Government will cut the tax amount and pay backrest of the income. But efforts at the forefront of taking care of one’s income taxation are very critical and advancing.
Focusing on investing and availing various kinds of schemes to save funds on tax is not only prudent but also beneficial in the long run.
- Retirement Corpus
Another important factor not considered by most of the people is that of saving right from the beginning of one’s earning time, saving one’s money for retirement.
A with time, through the power of compounding, one can accumulate saving and invested funds to not depend on anyone for any funds. It will avoid unnecessary hardships at the time of one’s old age, and the scope for inconveniencing others for many things is negated here.
To conclude, taking care of one’s finances, considering various loopholes and emergencies to come can only lead to sound finances management.
External Assistance Cannot be Avoided
Many people go through life troubled by their finances. The need and requirement is for various things like a new car, new house, and medical emergency fall upon them.

Once you have, here’s what to expect.
Don’t depend on luck to find your new home – enlist the services of a real estate representative; one who specializes in the sort of property you would like to buy.
The Voice of Experience A REALTOR will not take it for granted that you know all the in’s and out’s of the buying/selling process. Instead, he or she willprovide you with a full explanation of what to expect – and that’s important so you’re not faced with any surprises along the way.
Assessing Your Needs
One of the first questions a REALTOR will ask is, Why are you moving?” A REALTOR will also explore any time constraints you might have (perhaps imposed by the need to relocate for employment), your financial situation and any future plans.
A REALTOR will also help you decide where you want to live and what type of house is best for you. There are plenty of housing options available in the marketplace – new homes, resale homes, townhouses, condominiums. A REALTOR can help you choose the one that best suits your current and projected lifestyle.
It’s all part of getting to know you so your purchase will be handled to your complete satisfaction.
Targeting Your Dream Home
A REALTOR will help you identify what you want in your new residence. A pool? A Garage? An extra room? A particular building design? What about the neighbourhood? Proximity to schools or work?
A REALTOR will compare your needs, wants and budget with what is available on the market – and make recommendations that save you time and effort.
He or she will also accompany you as you view houses and help you assess their suitability and price. As an expert on a property, a REALTOR can provide facts on the neighbourhood, the cost of heating, the condition of the furnace, and so on.
Access to MLS
Multiple Listing Service or MLS is an exclusive service accessible only through a REALTOR – and it can be a valuable tool. Through MLS, the details of a wide variety of listed properties are made available to the REALTOR you work with. That can save you a tremendous amount of time and effort in your hunt for the right home.
REALTORS have broad and current knowledge of the financing choices available to home buyers – and there are many of them, an often confusing array. At your request, a REALTOR will assist in evaluating mortgage options and obtaining financing at the most attractive prevailing rates and terms.
A Skillful Negotiator
REALTORS are experienced in arranging fair deals. He or she will assist in negotiating an offer, acting as a mediator to head off potential conflicts between you and the seller, and draw up a legally binding contract.
Usually, the REALTOR will be paid from the proceeds of the sale. The listing agreement states the REALTOR’s fee.
Buying a home can be an exasperating and time-consuming experience. But not if you enlist the services of a REALTOR. A real estate professional understands the market, knows exactly what is available and can match your needs and budget to your new home efficiently and effectively. | <urn:uuid:a6b03983-a234-47c3-ab3b-5163fc98f58a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://azhteam.com/home-buying-information/ | 2020-09-24T04:09:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.945292 | 679 |
Churches Birthing Churches
Hillside United Methodist Church had come to a critical juncture. Located in the rapidly expanding suburbs northwest of Atlanta, we had outgrown even our newly expanded facility. A vision committee debated the purchase of additional space or relocation; but there was little joy or consensus of purpose with these proposals. There was, instead, a sense that the Lord wanted us to do something unique and “out of the box.”
After considering the possibilities of sponsoring an existing church or working with our district to start a new church, the chair of our visioning team boldly pronounced, “We need to start a church right out of Hillside!” The whole meeting turned on a dime and a new vision emerged. We would maintain a strong, growing mother church that sends out a large core of members every two years to start new churches.
The biblical mantra “No Fear” became our motto as the congregation unanimously approved this new vision. Instead of focusing on our land and space limitations, fear of the unknown, and resistance to change, we embraced a dynamic and visionary sense of God’s call. We saw this plan as a creative and faithful way to fulfill our purpose of making disciples without having to relocate or face zoning battles to build on our crowded site. We also saw it as a way to promote church development in our denomination and practice cooperation in starting churches.
Since then, Hillside UMC has come to see birthing churches as our primary identity and mission. In 2002, Liberty Hill UMC was born when we blessed and sent 140 adults plus children eight miles north of the church to start a new congregation. We worked in tandem for two years with the campus pastor being supervised by our senior pastor. We shared staff, resources and did joint Bible schools and missions. Liberty Hill is now a thriving church with a vision to birth a grandchild for Hillside!
In August 2006, we launched a second daughter, City on a Hill UMC, with 65 adults plus children. We set an ambitious goal of birthing five churches in ten years to include one as a lakeside campus on land donated to the church and another targeting the growing Hispanic population in the area. And we hope to become a teaching church for the model of birthing churches from within existing, healthy churches.
From the beginning of this process, Hillside has wanted to have daughter churches that are not clones, but churches that reflect our DNA. The purpose and mission of our daughter churches will be compatible and complementary with Hillside’s purpose and mission. The daughter churches derive their own values and vision from the core values of Hillside; however, they are encouraged and expected to be unique places of ministry with their own individual visions and footprints in the community. As a symbolic reminder of our shared identity, each church that Hillside births will have “hill” in some part of its name. Each daughter church also starts as a house church to build community among the launch team and is to have a unique mission to the community that identifies the servant nature of the new church.
Selecting and Coaching a Founding Pastor
The key bridge between the mother and daughter church is a “founding pastor” who is selected to lead the new congregation and prepares by serving first as part of the staff team in the mother church. While serving at the mother church, the mission pastor gains experience in leading a dynamic, healthy congregation and gains credibility in the mother church. Our bishop supported this arrangement, and we outlined an agreement whereby, I, as the senior pastor of the mother church, would help select, supervise, and coach each new church’s pastor.
Most senior pastors would not be excited to see several hundred people walk out the door to start another church. Yet this is exactly how Liberty Hill was born. We empowered our new mission pastor to “fish” within the congregation – to share the vision of the daughter church and recruit lay persons to go as missionaries to start the new congregation. This missionary group included three of our top ten giving households and 23 of our top 100 giving households. Yet by God’s grace, the year leading up to the charter of the daughter church was our best financial year ever. The year following the charter, we had a net gain of 27 members, even after transferring 141 adults to Liberty Hill.
A Different Approach to Congregational Development
Most new churches are started as “parachute drops.” A denomination or sponsoring church sends a mission pastor into a community where there is population growth or a large unchurched population. Then, the pastor is expected to find a core group, locate a meeting space, assemble resources, and build credibility in an area where he or she is an outsider. This model has some success stories; but often the mission pastor is overwhelmed and alone. And the tragedy is that many church starts fail in the first ten years.
On the other hand, virtually all mission churches succeed when the church planter is nurtured by a strong parent church. The model of birthing new churches from healthy, visionary mother churches has a number of advantages. It builds on the wisdom of experienced pastors. It capitalizes on the mother church’s reputation. It allows the new church to begin with a strong core of committed laity. It supports the daughter church with financial, staff, and programmatic resources, as well as a legacy of healthy operating systems.
The vision of birthing churches requires 100% commitment from the senior pastor of the mother church. In my denominational structure, the bishop, district superintendent, and office of congregational development must be proponents of the system. And in the congregation, staff and members must be willing to let people go and send them forth with their blessings, prayers, and best wishes. The size of the church is not the issue, it is the vision. Small, medium, and large-sized churches can birth new churches. Not every church is called to the birthing process. God can multiply the kingdom through you and your church in many ways. But my experience has convinced me that churches birthing churches is an effective, biblically grounded way of reaching people we are not currently reaching.
Dr Richard A. Hunter is the Executive Director of New Church Development of the North Alabama Conference of the UMC.

Japa is the continuous mental repetition of a mantra. Mantra is a powerful tool for focusing the mind.
Japa can be practiced in any place or situation. This will help a great deal with those times when the mind has a tendency to focus on the outside world. When the recitation of Japa becomes spontaneous, this will bring happiness.
Chanting Japa from the heart and not as a mere repetition will lead to states of ecstasy.
A mala can be used when chanting Japa. A mala is a necklace with beads that help with the count of mantra.
The difference between Japa and mediation is that Japa will bring your mind to a one-pointed state while meditation is pure silence of the mind. | <urn:uuid:86f3d2a1-b67b-4176-ad7a-8135b9a5ed33> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://community.askgargi.com/1549/what-is-japa-what-the-different-between-japa-and-meditation | 2020-09-24T04:07:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.9395 | 152 |
Rebecca O’Connell was a debut novelist with the release of MYRTLE OF WILLENDORF (Front Street, 2000). This interview was conducted via email in October-November 2000.
What kind of reader were you as a child? What were your favorite books?
I was an avid reader. My parents love to read, and I learned by their example. In elementary school, I loved the Oz books by L. Frank Baum. I read the whole original series. In seventh and eighth grades, I read everything I could find by Madeline L’Engle.
Who are some of your favorite authors today?
Francesca Lia Block, M.E. Kerr, Stephen King, E. L. Konigsburg, lots of others.
Did you begin writing early or were you a late bloomer?
Both; I’ve been writing since I was about six years old, but It wasn’t until four years ago, when I was 28, that I articulated the goal of writing a book and began working on it.
What inspired you to write for young adults?
Adolescence is an emotionally intense time of life, and adolescents are emotionally intense people. Also, no one tells you that adolescence lasts til you’re about thirty. I took a class on adolescence when I was in college. At the time I thought, good; I’m almost done with this. Ha! It lasted, like, ten more years.
Can you tell us a little bit about your path to publication?
I had always heard that in researching where to send a manuscript, you should look for a publisher who is publishing books like yours, and furthermore, for your manuscript even to be considered, it must be completely unique.
When I read THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES by Brock Cole, published by Front Street Books, I knew I wanted MYRTLE to go to Front Street.
THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES is a compulsively readable story addressing some very weighty themes — death and child abuse among them. As serious as the themes are, they never overshadow the story, and the story itself provoked a very strong emotional reaction in me.
MYRTLE doesn’t deal with death or child abuse; however, it does include serious themes, and I like to believe it is also compulsively readable and will provoke strong emotional reactions. I sent the manuscript to Front Street early in October, 1998. The day before Halloween, I got a call from Stephen Roxburgh, President and Publisher of Front Street. I was so excited to hear from him, I temporarily lost my power of speech.
What are the greatest challenges to you as an author?
Getting ideas. Other people in my writing group talk about long lists they have of ideas for future novels. I come up with, maybe, one every other year. It’s frustrating.
What do you love about it?
I love the idea of sharing something — this story — with someone out there I’ve never even met. I know the intense pleasure I get from reading a good story, and I love the possibility that my story could bring that feeling to someone reading it. (It’s hard to talk about this without sounding dopey.)
In your novel MYRTLE OF WILLENDORF, Myrtle along with Jada and Margie are in three very different places with regard to their visions of beauty and self-image. Did you design the novel around these three girls or did their personalities emerge as you made your way through the plot?
Their personalities emerged little by little as the story progressed.
What is it like, being a first-time YA novelist in 2000?
It’s great. The response to MYRTLE OF WILLENDORF has been warm and wonderful. I’ve spoken to school groups as well as groups of writers and teachers, and the feedback I’ve gotten is very positive. Paganism, sexuality, self-destructive-tendancies are all themes addressed in the novel, and I thought maybe someone somewhere might object. So far, no one has.
What do you think of the current state of YA fiction?
YA fiction is getting better and better. I keep reading new YA novels that knock my socks off.
What changes, if any, would you like to see?
I’d like to see the really big bookstores stock more hardcover YA fiction. I’d like big, humongous book budgets for school libraries and for the YA collections in public libraries.
What kinds of reactions to your work have you gotten from young readers?
A college freshman said that she found herself thinking about MYRTLE OF WILLENDORF long after she finished the book. Others have said that they liked the parts of the book about Goddess worship; they are interested in women’s spirituality and enjoyed reading about it in this story.
What’s up next for your fans?
What a flattering question! Supposing the existence of Rebecca O’Connell fans, I would tell them that I am still writing and hope to complete another YA novel someday soon. | <urn:uuid:70dd12ec-255a-486f-a5e1-5c353d6c080d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cynthialeitichsmith.com/lit-resources/read/authors/interviews/rebeccaoconnell/ | 2020-09-24T06:01:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971612 | 1,084 |

The US Air Force made a statement about the development program of combat laser weapons aviation based. Such developments in the States have been ongoing for several years, but so far the developers have not reached an acceptable result in terms of power and size of a combat laser.
Now it is noted that the schedule for the start of flight tests of a promising combat laser system has to be shifted again. According to recent reports, such tests will begin no earlier than 2023, although it was previously reported that the first testing of a laser prototype on an airplane could take place in 2021. Moved.
Citing the reasons for the transfer, the US Air Force notes that the main negative role was played by the pandemic and "a number of technical difficulties." The process of work had to be suspended for 2-3 months.
What kind of installation are you talking about?
Earlier in the U.S. Air Force reported that they intend to put into service combat laser modules, the main purpose of which would be to protect funds aviation from enemy missiles. Moreover, when speaking about missiles, the Americans mentioned both anti-aircraft missiles and those that belong to the air-to-air class.
This is the so-called SHiELD program, which is headed by Jeffrey Heggemayer. They have been trying to implement the program since 2013. And in it several directions stand out. For example, Lockheed Martin pledged to create a powerful solid-state laser, and the Boeing and Northrop Grumman collaboration - beam control systems.
Currently, Lockheed Martin has created and tested some ground-based solid-state laser. Testing came down to trying to intercept several missiles at a military training ground in New Mexico. It was reported that the installation power corresponded to a value of approximately 60 kW. About how the tests for intercepting missiles passed in the US are not covered, which may indicate a low effectiveness of weapons.
At the same time, information was passing on flight tests of a prototype of a laser installation from Raytheon on an AH-64 Apache helicopter in 2017. But only that laser was not intended to destroy missiles launched by helicopter, but to destroy ground targets. Although with the destruction of ground targets, the "brainchild" also had serious problems. The armored vehicles, as they say, didn’t want to be destroyed by this laser system, and the on-board electronics “burned out”. There were problems already at the aiming stage.
Allegedly, today in the US they are solving the problem of creating a "compact laser with a power of about 500 kW." | <urn:uuid:23c58188-6cfd-4f9b-a41c-a704acd6e9cc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://en.topwar.ru/172670-v-ssha-perenesli-nachalo-letnyh-ispytanij-boevoj-lazernoj-ustanovki.html | 2020-09-24T05:05:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.970601 | 534 |

This is the conclusion made by the author after the narration and completion of its outcome. Its primary function is to explain the intention of the message about the future of the main characters, which asserts the consequences of the phenomenon described in work. In most cases, it is a short story in one or two pages.
The prologue and epilogue are very similar in its structure and primary function, but the difference is in the place: beginning or end. Mostly, both are used in the epic and drama. In the traditional epic genres (epic, heroic poem, fairy tale), lyrical introductions and conclusions are minimized: in the Song of the Nibelungs, for instance, two stanzas were enough. They perform a kind of ornamental or ritual function: “the gates are open — the gates are closed.” Most often, these literary parts were simply unnecessary for the writer. And most novels don’t use such extra pages for beginning or summarizing the plot. The stories are closed with the last chapter. However, using the epilogue gives the author a chance to say something from his or her point of view and finish up some unfinished themes.
In the literature of the last two centuries, the epilogue is a monopoly of epic genres, but they can also be found in Goethe’s dramatic works such as Faust. Moreover, it can be implemented even in lyrics: not only in lyric books and cycles but also in individual poems.
In the ancient drama, the prologue is the historical, everyday or mythological background of future events sounding mostly in the performance of the choir, and the final alignment of forces is fixed in the epilogue, the moral and philosophical result of the work is summarized.
Epilogue examples in literature
As the literature developed and changed with the times, both prologue and epilogue were becoming shorter and less significant. Now, these two parts are auxiliary, and people often avoid reading these parts.
In most of the tragedies of Aeschylus, the conclusions and especially the introductions were expanded and written in multi-stages. Then already the ancient Roman playwrights sometimes managed only by direct stage action. Increasingly, it is recognized as self-sufficient. It seems that Shakespeare still has a lot of such extra endings, and yet the great writer clearly doubts their necessity. Later, in their usual static form, the epilogues disappear from dramatic works for a long time, and the prologues mostly become the off-stage: “prefaces,” “pre-warnings,” “open letters,” “analyzes” of the play by Corneille, Beaumarchais, Hugo were already provided with the publication.
In the modern literature, it is hardly possible to find a novel or a poem with a significant epilogue that gives extra insight into the plot. However, some exclusions appear. For instance, think about the Deathly Hallows of the famous Potter’s line. Here the readers unexpectedly get lots of new information about the future of their beloved characters in several years after the story ends in the last chapter. We get lots of information about the children of the protagonists, and what happens with other friends. It is wonderful how significantly this short extra chapter becomes for the reader. It is not only summarizing but informative which makes this epilogue rather exceptional than traditional.
The major conventions of Shakespearean Romantic Comedy are: The main action is about love. The would-be lovers must overcome obstacles and misunderstandings before being united in harmonious union. The ending frequently involves a parade of couples to the altar and a festive mood or actual celebration (expressed in dance, song, feast, etc.) A Midsummer Night’s Dream has four such couples...Read more 3751

Lesson 1: 1. Raskolnikov lives under the roof directly above his landlady in a small, tight garret surrounded by dusty yellow wallpaper and with nothing but a “clumsy” couch, an unlevel table with three unpainted chairs, and a few books covered in dust from abandonment. The area where he resides in could be described as the lower end of the socio-economic spectrum. The inhabitants include...Read more 3290

The process without a doubt is the most important aspect of my work. It is the the time and effort that it takes to create the work that is what makes the work, work. So I decided that it was time to document this work in a way that a sketchbook could not do.
From a previous work of destroying the cube, I did not want to just throw out all that polystyrene that I had teared apart. I wasn’t just going to put it in the bin as finding and using materials is a way I use to build my practice. So of course my first thought was I want to paint them black. But I thought I would rather create a piece of work that could be added and used within my installations so I decided to stick and glue the polystyrene leftovers to a piece of foam board.
I had to then wait for the glue to dry which took pretty much all day because the studio was so damn cold. But eventually I got round to painting it. Painting it black (of course).
What intrigued me about this little piece was the texture that it created. From looking at it in an image it looks very similar to an earlier piece that I created with acrylic paint and a tiny brush with only a few little hairs.
However, in reality they are very different. The texture of the polystyrene creates large mounds within the foam board and it is easily noticeable when it was white, before I had transformed it into the darkness. However, when it’s black it is harder to see. It is like it’s there but not there. This idea is an idea that has been apparent in my work from the very start as to me it also mirrors the idea of depression.
The idea of something being there but also not being there at the same time is evident to me. The idea of depression being there in someones life, someones mind – but it also might not be the case that it is physically there. And in a way I think this is how sometimes society still views mental health. And this is why I want to create work.
My work is obviously very personal but that evidently does not mean I am the only person who has suffered from such illnesses. I want to change the perception of how mental health is viewed. Not everyone will understand my work but that mirrors societies ideas of depression and other mental illnesses. Not everyone will get it, but not everyone gets mental health. | <urn:uuid:a5560717-b92c-4a90-b1fa-85cbcd6eb726> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hyuillart.com/2017/12/18/filming-process/ | 2020-09-24T04:49:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.9879 | 501 |
At times, what we write ends up being longer than we thought, and we’re naturally uneasy that the length of it will dissuade our fellow readers from proceeding. In my previous entries is one sentence that I had started in order to justify the length of that article: that while considering the reader’s time and attention, it was in proportion to the subject-matter. But, in hastening to describe the event to you, I left the thought there incomplete. Now, adding a little to that thought here, is what this entry is about.
When we come across long articles, one of our initial reactions is reaching for that common, though inaccurate, saying, that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” placing it next to the article, and wondering whether it imperceptibly escaped the writer, while we ourselves are subjected to thousands of words when (or so we think), for the same purpose, a couple of pictures would have been just as adequate.
All of which could be true; yet, keeping articles short is often not possible, at least of those that I’ve tried to write. These have been on events whose content I thought worthwhile to transcribe. I am fully conscious of how we all are pressed for time, and how difficult it is to retain anyone’s attention for a long time; and how, even in those moments of relaxation or idleness, we prefer almost any thing that doesn’t tax our attention for long. But we do make time, and compel our attention, for those things we consider worthwhile.
It’s out of this concern, at least in part, that for those blog entries describing the events, I determined to make one or two statements to explain why the length is in proportion to the content. I may be going to more events, which means that, for subsequent blog entries, I’ll probably be repeating those statements. So, applying the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle, I thought it convenient to have such an explanation in one place which I can refer to.
As for that common saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words,” wherever it’s appropriately applied, I would add “that describe it.” Consider this: here is a picture; is it worth any thousand words? Would it be worth the first thousand words in a dictionary? What about the last thousand words? I’m accounting for only the number of words, not the “picture,” or the “words” used, or the standard of “worthiness” appealed to.
Now, at these events, there are more things to describe than I have the inclination, and the ability to do so strikingly: there are those one-on-one conversations you have with others who are attending, either during the breaks or over drinks; there are those numerous hints from the expressions of people’s faces, their varying modulation of voice, and their actions which gradually rise from expressing nervousness to confidence; all of which would occupy a curious observer because of the probable lessons they contain.
Furthermore, on stage, all these are somewhat magnified. There, we see the earnestness of the speakers, which diverts us from the familiarity of the day’s routine; and which fixes our attention, at least for a while, on our temporary instructors and on their subject-matter. Stranger still, even those plain announcements take a transient hold on us.
To describe all these would take much more than a thousand words. So far, I, like some others, have limited these summaries to those talks that we’ve been to, and take it for granted that the contents of those talks are able, by themselves, to sustain your interest while reading about them in more than a thousand words.
As always, I’m happy to be corrected.
For others going to events, and writing summaries, I can’t wait to read them, however long they turn out to be. | <urn:uuid:7c683665-1d97-41be-9a6a-c4c91a377aaa> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://juliusgamanyi.com/2014/02/05/long-articles-how-come/ | 2020-09-24T05:29:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.962951 | 833 |
Should you start your website on a URL that does not have your name or URL that does?
You might assume that since I use KathleenCelmins.com that I would say all the time,”Yes, write on your name dot com.”
But I wouldn’t always recommend that.
When should you use your name dot com as a URL?
I have friends who have sold their blogs for six and seven figures, and they wouldn’t have been able to do that if they had been blogging on their name dot com. So if that’s your goal, if you are building an authority site, you’re building a site around one topic, or you want to build a blog and your authority that way, do not use your name dot com.
However, if you’re planning on making info products, building your own thought leadership, or creating a space where people come and hire you because you are the go-to person in your industry, you need your name dot com.
The reason this discussion this came up recently was because I have a new web design client who wasn’t sure whether she should build her site on her name dot com or not.
She knows that where she is right now is not where she wants to be, so the URL change was going to happen anyway. Instead of setting it up so that she was going from one semi-anonymous URL to another, we had a conversation about her purpose.
I asked the question that made her choice easier, which was, “If you do not write on your name dot com, are you hiding?”
A lot of times, the answer is no.
Are you your brand?
If you already know you want to write about something specific, like cats, dogs, any topic, any niche topic, if you want to build an authority site, or if you want to just blog, you don’t need your name dot com.
But if you’re going to build yourself up as a writer, a freelancer, or a brand ambassador, you are your brand.
You are your brand when you are writing your stuff or when you’re creating content for your site. You are creating and building a portfolio.
You may also miss opportunities to be a freelance writer if you create an anonymous niche site. It’s really hard to find new clients if you have a niche site because the way that you compare three different types of iced tea, for example, is not necessarily the way you’re going to write about a different topic.
Also, if you write about what you’re passionate about, you and your passions will change over time. It’s not just dependent on your age. Your passions might change.
It would be terrible is to have a site that you just lost interest in that you ended up having to sell (or not even getting to sell) after spending all that time on it.
What would be better is if, let’s say you started in personal finance, like me, and if I had started writing on Kathleen Celmins dot com back when I started writing, I would have a much bigger platform right now. Even though I haven’t written about money in almost a decade, I have been writing online for a very long time, building up good graces with Google and getting known as someone who creates good content.
Over time, you get in the favor of algorithm in a way that you just simply can’t if you keep starting over and over.
You can do more with your site
I still would have designed a website for this client had she not decided to use her name dot com, but because she did, I’m able to do more for her.
I can suggest to her that she put her face on her website, which, again, doesn’t always make sense. If your website is something about I love cats sweaters dot com or something like that, you might just have a picture of a cat sweater or maybe you wearing a cat sweater, but you are no longer the brand.
But when it’s your name dot com, you are the brand.
And I have had someone who did not like my picture or my voice, but that’s neither here nor there. I’m doing video and I’m getting better at getting presence anyway, and so should you because you have something to say. You have experience and expertise that no one else has. No one has your spin on what’s going on in your industry, in the five or six things you are expert level in.
We need your take, we need your videos, we need your blog posts.
We need your spin, and the best way to do that is to just start writing and staking your claim on something.
Writing on your name dot com makes your writing so much truer because every word that goes out is something that you represent.
Even if you end up hiring somebody to ghostwrite for you, make sure it sounds like you because it’s your name dot com. You represent your brand in everything that you do, and it’s a really powerful way to start earning more money online, to start turning your website and your portfolio into a business or a side business even.
And that is why I am excited to be building a website for someone who took my advice and is going to use her name dot com, and I think you should consider doing the same.

León is the old capital of Nicaragua and is known for being a liberal city full of intellectuals and poets. It also has several really awesome churches.
The most famous cathedral is this one, the biggest church in Central America. It was built in the 1700s and although the outside is a bit worn out, the inside is really well-maintained and gorgeous.
We saw two other really old churches in León.
Other highlights of León included some good street food, fun parties, and volcano boarding (post on that coming tomorrow)! We also ran into an old friend who worked with us at LokiHostel in Cuzco. What a small world!
Average $27.48 per day or $13.74 per person per day without the Inca Trail
We chose to include the $400 Inca Trail deposit in our Perú stats, even though we paid it back in August, before we even left for South America.
56% of our spending was on activities. Most of this was the Inca Trail but we also did several other things because there is just too much to do in Perú!
Food and Entertainment were the other significant budget chunks. They would be about the same percentage as Ecuador without the Inca Trail.
We barely spent ANY money on Lodging, which is awesome. In all we stayed in 3 hostels for free (Loki for a whole month), Couchsurfed once, and only paid for 4 short hostel stays, totaling only $106. Not bad for a whole 43 days in the country!
Overall, although Perú is the first country we blew our budget on, I think we did great! Considering how well set up Perú is for tourists, we could have spend A LOT more money on swankier hotels, gringo food, and even more tourist activities. We definitely could have spent less if we had skipped the Inca Trail and some of the other tours. But we came into Perú knowing we were going to do more touristy things and prepared for the cost. Everything was well worth the money. We were about 10 days behind on our budget entering Bolivia, but because everything is so cheap here, we are hoping to make it up quickly!
Has anyone been convinced to come join us for a cheap adventure yet????
Before reading this, read yesterday’s post, because the two together are meant to appropriately demonstrate our love-hate relationship with Loki Hostel. It was a blast running the bar. The experience we gained because of it will definitely help us if we ever want bartending jobs in the future. But another thing that we really like is SLEEP! The noise around that place never stops. It’s fine if you are working, but when you’re trying to sleep at 2am and the whole building is still shaking from the loudest dubstep you’ve ever heard, you start to go crazy. Not to mention once the bar closes everyone runs around drunk and screaming, messed up on Blood Bombs and ready to go out to the clubs. Headphones or earplugs are definitely necessary for sleeping in the dormitories. Most who stay and work at Loki are just all about the partying, every. single. night. Many people love it, and end up staying and working here weeks or months longer than intended, drinking on the cheap, day and night. It’s like a vortex that sucks you in. Call us old, but we just don’t feel the need to stay out until the sun rises! We did it one time to say we had, but most nights we were the first in bed, around 2:30am. Ha.
Also, everyone who works at Loki is always just a little bit sick. That’s because the staff room is usually in a general state of disarray and filth, and you don’t tend to take care of yourself very well living this lifestyle. As of now, everyone has this horrible cough that gets worse and worse. And there is no chance of getting better when you sleep no more than 10 feet away from the next sick person. We’re hoping that we will be magically cured soon now that we are far away from Loki!
Loki is also not what we would consider an “authentic” South American experience. It is made up almost completely of Europeans, Australians, North Americans, and other English speakers. We think our Spanish actually suffered due to lack of use while here. Some of the foreign staff members who’ve been here for over one year don’t even speak Spanish because they never leave Loki so they don’t have to learn! The Loki vortex…it doesn’t really encourage you to get out there and immerse yourself in the wonderful culture of Cuzco. It just tells you that it’s about time for another Blood Bomb.
There is one last thing that I have to complain about. If you stay in a hostel, it is inappropriate to have floor-shaking sex in a dorm room. I can’t tell you how many times I was woken by strange sounds from one of the beds next to me. Like we said, it really is kind of like a freshman dormitory, full of drunk and horny travelers.
All in all, we did have a good time a Loki. But we were SO EXCITED to get as far away from that place as possible. Maybe we are too old, or maybe we are just a little more mature than you should be to be a proper Loki employee. I guess Loki did make us realize how much we have grown up since college. If you want to spend some time in Cuzco, live for free and have fun, I’d say to do it. Just don’t expect anything about it to be relaxing.
“LOKI LOKI LOKI!” someone shouts as we all raise our glasses.
“Oi oi oi!” we respond in Aussie fashion, slam our glasses down on the bar, and proceed to chug our Blood Bombs. A Blood Bomb consists of a shot of mostly vodka with a few drops of grenadine dropped into a half-glass of Red Bull. Totally beneficial for your heart and brain; it’s the signature drink of Loki Hostel.
We first heard of Loki from a Couchsurfing host in Ecuador who recommended we stay at the Máncora location. We ended up staying elsewhere, but we remembered him raving about Loki as an awesomely fun party hostel with opportunities to work and stay for free. We wanted to try a different volunteer (not WWOOFing) opportunity, so we decided to give Loki Cuzco a try. As soon as we walked into the bar and offered our help to the manager, we were given bartending jobs and asked to start the next night!
Loki Cuzco is the original of the four Loki Hostels (the others are located in Máncora, Lima, and La Paz, Bolivia) and was opened in 2005 by a group of backpacker friends. It’s a HUGE hostel (capacity over 200) in a 500-year-old amazing historic building. The owner and staff are all friendly and bilingual, and the hostel includes free breakfast, a book exchange, a full restaurant and bar, a tour booking office, and daily activities and parties. It basically has everything you could ever need so that you don’t even have to venture outside if you don’t want to!
All of the bartenders are volunteers at Loki. We worked four shifts a week (either 1-7pm or 7pm-2am) in exchange for a free dormitory bed, one free meal a day, and 40% off on everything at the bar/restaurant. It was definitely an awesome deal, and we had a lot of fun. The bar staff during the four weeks we worked at Loki consisted of travelers from Ireland, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and a few more of us from the U.S. We all got along great and every night was a party. Working behind the bar is not really work; it’s more like serving some drinks while drinking some drinks. By the end of the night there were always people dancing on the bar, and most of the staff usually went out dancing until the wee hours after our bar closed. Highlights of our time at Loki included dancing like crazy on the bar at Groove Nightclub, going out for pizza for Zach’s birthday, and all the random hilarious conversations in the staff room. Being at Loki was kind of like living in a college dorm again, except with the added fun of people from all different countries and none of the hassle of class!
Before you judge us as nonsstop-partying alcoholics, please wait for tomorrow’s other-side-of-the-coin post: WE HATE LOKI
As of January 27, we’ve been in South America for three months! That’s about 1/3 of the total time we’ll be down here (assuming money lasts) so it’s quite a milestone. Sometimes I feel like we’ve been on the road forever and other times it feels like it was just yesterday we landed in Medellin.
To celebrate our 1/3-iversary, let’s list some fun stats!
Days in South America: 95
Dollars Spent (not including flight): $3005
Countries Visited: 3
Books Read: 8 (Carrie), 7 (Zach)
Number of Laundromat Visits (not including hand-washing): 3
Bacterial Infections: 1 each
Things We’ve Lost
iPhone (Carrie)…The Infamous Bird Poop Incident
Water bottle (Zach)…just left it at a Couchsurfer’s house
Glasses (Carrie)…stupid lake
Sunglasses (Zach)…stupid ocean
2 rings (Carrie)…two separate places
1 shirt (Carrie)…I think this girl on our first WWOOF farm thought it was hers because she always wore orange!
Dr. Bronners soap (Zach)…”It’ll turn up!” he says
And now, since it is Awards Season, we hereby present to you….
The 1/3-iversary Superlatives…a.k.a. the Best Of “So Far”
Loki Hostel a daily Cuzco free walking tour. The tour takes you to some of the famous sites around the city, as well as a couple cool restaurants that the hostel is promoting. The first stop was a free vegetarian restaurant owned by an Indian family. They ask for a donation that goes to feeding poor children in nearby small villages. We sampled the food and they told us about how to volunteer to help feed the kids. We are trying to go do it before we leave Cuzco. Next we walked to the Plaza de Armas, Cuzco’s famous square. From here you can access many famous churches and restaurants. The flag of Cuzco is actually rainbow stripes, causing many people to mistake it for the gay pride flag!
After the plaza, we walked to the Museo do Cacao where they let us sample cacao-leaf tea and showed us where chocolate comes from. We also sampled the “aji” (spicy) chocolate and the dark, which were both amazing.
Next, we walked down an old alley; on the right was a wall built by the Incas. The Spanish had knocked down the top of their building, but the bottom 10 feet or so remained. The blocks were huge, some a couple feet wide, and fit together perfectly (you couldn’t fit a piece of paper between them). The best part was that every rock was a different size and shape, the coolest one having 12 sides.
Another cool part of the tour was playing with an alpaca and a vicuña! The vicuña thought our blonde hair looked similar to the grass they eat in the wild. Thus we kind of had to watch out to not get bitten on the noggin!
We spent the end of our Cuzco free walking tour at the food market, satisfying our appetites with seafood soup and beer smoothies!!! All in all, the Loki free walking tour was a great time!
The horrifying hour of 4am came WAY too soon. We had been dead to the world in our unexpected hostel bed and trying to pull ourselves out of bed was extremely difficult. Not only because of how tired we were, but because our leg muscles were practically incapable of motion after the grueling 22km of the day before. Considerably less than bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, we met at the restaurant for breakfast and then took off. Half of our group had decided to tough it out and finish the trek on foot (including stubborn us), while the other half opted to take the bus for $8. This is the one aspect where I think Peru Treks failed us–our detour and change of plans caused us to have to foot the cost of a hostel room (20 Soles=$7) and the bus, if we chose. I know that Peru Treks had no control over the trail closure, but with how much we paid them for the trek, I felt that they should have been able to adjust with us and foot these costs. (More on the cost/value of the trek later.)
What we naively assumed about hiking from Aguas Calientes to the front entrance of Machu Picchu was that we would be walking up the same road that the bus took. Wrong. After a couple turns along the road as the sun was coming up, Juan pointed out the “short cut trail”–1,760 steps UP. Our jaws dropped. We were all feeling dead from the past three days and now THIS??? It was almost too much. But inspired by the unwillingness to pay $8 for a bus ride and the stubbornness of wanting to make it the whole way on foot, we started. One foot in front of the other, stopping for frequent breaks, and sweating profusely in the humid air, we progressed grumpily. I was so sore and tired and not in a good mood. By the time we finally made it (after about two hours of steps) I felt like crying and Zach felt like throwing up. All this to arrive at the main entrance of Machu Picchu along with all the lazy bums who took the train! We exchanged exhausted high-fives with our guides and the bus-riders from our group, who had beaten us there, and then entered. By the end, we had hiked 50.5km, 7.5km MORE than the normal Inca Trail! We basically rock. Arriving early definitely paid off…we got there around 7am, beating the crowds and the clouds! We hurriedly pushed ourselves up to the top of the ruins on about-to-fall-off legs in order to get the classic Machu Picchu photos. Despite all our bad luck on the trek, we were extremely lucky to be at the site on a clear, non-rainy day! Cheers to that! The site was stunning. I couldn’t believe I was finally there after so much planning and hard work, but unfortunately caring much about it was quite an effort due to how tired and sore I was. I think other group members felt the same way. You could definitely tell the hikers from the train-riders at Machu Picchu because we were the ones hilariously hobbling up and down the steps at the speed of arthritic grandparents. Percy gave us a two-hour tour of Machu Picchu, highlighting the most important parts. It was really interesting, and I wish I would have been more awake and alert for it! All in all, I think I personally appreciated having seen Machu Picchu more and more after the fact, as I recovered from the trek. I think that if there hadn’t been landslides and we would have stuck to the original route, we would have been much more energetic and excited to be there in the end. But what can you do? Woulda, shoulda, coulda, you can’t control the weather! Lest I come across like a total Negative Nancy, let me share our AMAZING pictures with you now!
After touring the ruins, we decided we had had our fill and headed back to Aguas Calientes to have one last lunch as a group. Aguas Calientes is an unapologetic tourist trap, like the Times Square of Perú. Anyone coming to Machu Picchu HAS to go there, and they definitely know how to exploit the gringos. Food and beer costs are nearly triple what they are in Cuzco. We didn’t really find anything redeemable about the town, although if money was not an issue for you, you could probably have some fun and some tasty food. Luckily our group had a whole restaurant reserved for us all day, so we hung out on the couch reading, writing, and napping until our train left at 6:45pm. The British-run PerúRail company has a monopoly on the railroad in Perú and thus is also a ripoff. The ride was unremarkable, highlighted only by obnoxiously yelling drunk people and free coffee and peanuts. We got off the train two hours later in Ollantaytambo, and spent the last two hours on the Peru Treks bus back to Cuzco sleeping. We finally got back to our hostel around 11pm, more physically exhausted than we’d ever felt before!
And here we are a week and a half later, finally finishing our recaps! Despite our complaints about the trek, we were so glad we did it and we would recommend it to others. Basically, it’s way more satisfying, and, we believe, a better value than taking the train! Just KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GETTING INTO! It’s not easy; you must acclimatize; and you have to be in good-enough shape! You might struggle and get sick despite acclimatizing and being in good shape. The person in our group who had the hardest time was a former NFL football player. Also, be prepared for the fact that you might be too exhausted to enjoy it by the time you get to Machu Picchu. People who are more excited about Machu Picchu then they are about hiking and the Andean scenery should just take the train. We were equally pumped about both, so we’re for sure glad we trekked!
Cost/Value of the trek:
There is much debate on the effects of the commercialization and popularity of the Inca Trail. The trail was crowded but not unbearably so. The limit on the number of people on the trail per day is what makes booking so far in advance necessary. It’s also important to make sure you use a company that treats their porters fairly. Here is what we paid and what we ultimately thought about the value of our experience (all prices are per person):
Peru Treks total cost=$490
Included: bus from Cuzco to Ollantaytambo ($10), 4 days of hiking, guide and assistant guide, porters, Inca Trail and Machu Picchu entry permit ($93), 10 big meals, tents, water on Days 3 and 4, sleeping pads, Machu Picchu tour, bus ticket from Machu Picchu to Aguas Calientes ($8), train from Aguas Calientes to Ollantaytambo ($37), bus from Ollantaytambo to Cuzco ($10). (Breakdown info taken from Andean Travel Web.)
Not included: Sleeping bag ($20 to rent, we brought our own), personal porter to carry your sleeping bag and pad ($40, we carried our own stuff), breakfast on Day 1, lunch and dinner on Day 4, water on Days 1 and 2 (you can buy it for inflated prices along the way but we brought our own), snacks, coca leaves, walking sticks, tips for cook, guides, and porters ($25 minimum).
Extra costs we incurred due to landslides: Hostel on the night of Day 3 (20 Soles=$7, this was a decision our group made together; we could have chosen to camp and pay nothing but then it would have taken longer to get to Machu Picchu in the morning), Bus to Machu Picchu ($8, what a huge ripoff for those that didn’t want to hike anymore!).
Overall, I am totally impressed with the service, food and equipment provided by Peru Treks. I know they’re not making an enormous profit on these treks with all the expenses involved. Still, because of how much we shelled out, I can’t help but feel that Peru Treks could and should have included some of those extras, especially the three meals they are missing. We were picked up at 5:30am on Day One and didn’t get back to Cuzco until 10:30pm on Day Four, so the meals on those days should have been part of the price! Also, as I said before, I think Peru Treks could have shelled out some dough for our hostel and bus tickets due to our forced detour.
I also have one criticism of the Machu Picchu facilities. Despite the loads of money the park brings in, the bathrooms are absolutely atrocious. I am not usually one to complain about bathrooms (ummmm, hello, I’m Returned Peace Corps Tanzania, what can I say?) but what is the point of having modern toilets if you’re going to let them be so disgustingly filthy? There was no toilet paper in any dispenser and literally every single stall was covered in pee or poop splashes. Not what I expected from the most famous place in South America. | <urn:uuid:1a51582b-9481-4e4e-b834-f409e9a92273> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://laaventuraproject.com/tag/cuzco/ | 2020-09-24T04:17:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.970234 | 4,618 |

The race to turn the vision of quantum computing into reality today involves multiple contenders, exploring different technologies that they hope will open up a new era of science and engineering. Now a new collaboration of seven universities, including the University of Chicago, will join that competition, working together to create the pioneering hardware, software and applications needed to realize the world’s first practical quantum computer.
With a $15 million grant from the National Science Foundation, the Software-Tailored Architecture for Quantum (STAQ) co-design project aims to build a quantum computer capable of solving challenging calculations within five years. Fred Chong, the Seymour Goodman Professor of Computer Science at the University of Chicago, will receive $3 million to lead the STAQ software team, bridging the gap between new architectures developed by the project and theoretical algorithms that apply quantum computing to chemistry, physics and other domains.
“The key to dramatically increasing the efficiency of quantum algorithms on realistic machines is to break conventional notions of how software should be structured,” Chong said. “Software will more directly specialize algorithms for hardware, adapting to physical properties. In this way, algorithms can run on machines that are 100s to 1000s of times smaller than we might think.”
Led by researchers from Duke University, the STAQ project will explore a particular quantum computing technology using trapped ions—atoms with electrons removed to give them a positive charge. Researchers then suspend these atoms in an ultra-high vacuum, and use precise lasers to manipulate their quantum states and form qubits, the quantum analogue of a traditional logical computer bit.
While companies such as Google and IBM have recently unveiled quantum computers with as many as 72 qubits, many more are needed to unlock the powerful capabilities that scientists believe this new technology can achieve. The quantum computers developed by these private companies also use different technologies than the trapped-ion approach STAQ will explore.
“There’s a really clear path to getting to two-to-three dozen ion trap qubits working together in a quantum computer,” said Kenneth Brown, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, chemistry and physics at Duke, and leader of the new collaboration. “But it will take at least twice as many to solve a challenging calculation, and achieving that within five years is no cakewalk.”
Once realized, STAQ will become the NSF testbed instrument for quantum computing, and will be cloud accessible. Unlike the proprietary cloud-connected quantum computers currently available from private companies, the physical details of the technology underlying STAQ will be fully visible to researchers.
Chong’s contributions to STAQ will complement his leadership of EPIQC, the Enabling Practical-scale Quantum Computation project announced earlier this year. While the two projects share several researchers and a primary mission—shortening the timeline to realize the true promise of quantum computing—Chong said that they differ in their scope, with STAQ targeting a machine up to 100 qubits.
“There’s a lot of synergy between the two projects,” Chong said. “EPIQC is exploring similar techniques, but for multiple quantum technologies in addition to ion trap systems, and for systems that are farther in the future, utilizing hundreds or thousands of qubits. But both EPIQC and STAQ will work to train people and get more researchers interested in this topic by making it accessible and building tools that are open and usable for everyone.”
The STAQ project sprouted from an NSF Ideas Lab program held earlier this year, which brought together physicists, computer scientists and engineers from multiple institutions and charged them with creating collaborative proposals. The STAQ grant fits into the agency’s initiative The Quantum Leap: Leading the Next Quantum Revolution, one of the NSF’s 10 Big Ideas.
“Quantum computers will change everything about the technology we use and how we use it, and we are still taking the initial steps toward realizing this goal,” said NSF Director France Córdova. “Developing the first practical quantum computer would be a major milestone. By bringing together experts who have outlined a path to a practical quantum computer and supporting its development, NSF is working to take the quantum revolution from theory to reality.”
In addition to Duke and UChicago, STAQ includes researchers from University of Maryland, Tufts University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California-Berkeley and University of New Mexico.

If you are a gallerist aiming to show at one of the leading art fairs in the world, then Magnus Renfrew, Director for Art Basel Asia and one of the four members of the Swiss behemoth’s Executive Committee, is the person you want to know, and you want him to know you. In addition to Renfrew’s responsibility for directing the Hong Kong edition of Art Basel, he is responsible for spearheading Art Basel’s activities in Asia. With over a decade's experience in the international art world, Renfrew is consistently and regularly recognised for his contribution by industry media including: ART + AUCTION Magazine in their ‘Power Issue’ as one of 15 Individuals ‘without whom the art world would not spin on its axis’ (December 2008), CANS - Chinese Art News as one of the ten most influential people in the art scene in Asia (January 2009), ART REVIEW in its 'Power 100' issue as one of the 100 most influential figures in the international art world (November 2010, November 2012) and by Le Journal des Arts in its ‘Les 100 personnalités les plus influentes du monde de l’art’ (February 2011). Most recently in 2013, the World Economic Forum honoured Renfrew as a Young Global Leader.
Against the backdrop of the glamour, hype and broadly considered critical and commercial success of Art Basel in Miami Beach, Ocula correspondent Stephanie Bailey, caught up with Renfrew to discuss his views on the ‘Basel effect’, Hong Kong’s cultural status, the art fair phenomena, the successes of Art Basel in Miami Beach, and plans for the 2014 iteration of Art Basel in Hong Kong.
The first thing I wanted to ask relates to your observations on the effect of Art Basel on Miami Beach – can you see the same effect happening in Hong Kong as a result of the fair’s presence in that city?I think it already is to a certain extent, certainly from a brand perception of “brand Hong Kong” the fair has already helped to give people the sense that Hong Kong is more than just about finance and high-end retail - that it has the potential to be a cultural and art hub, as well. Since the announcement of Art Basel’s acquisition of ArtHK, eleven galleries have opened up in town, and that goes to show the confidence that people have that the fair is going to grow and the art scene is going to grow in Hong Kong. I think its one part of the cultural ecology, but I don’t think it’s the whole thing. In Hong Kong now all the different elements of the Hong Kong ecology are beginning to come together. There is a very strong auction market, interesting non-profit organizations that are gaining in international stature, a vibrant art community gaining in self-confidence as time goes on and as people become more aware of their activities. Then you have M+ in West Kowloon, and the cultural district developing there, which will open in 2017, so I think this will be another stage when things will step up again. You have the whole package really in Hong Kong, and it needs all of these things to come together to take it to its full potential. Hong Kong is really in an exceptional position right now, because of a very unique set of circumstances, that are very difficult to find anywhere else in the world.
Can you talk about the specific changes you have noticed since the switch from ArtHK to Art Basel in Hong Kong?
It’s easier to persuade galleries to participate now then it was. But it’s probably best to start off with what has stayed the same as I think that is really important. One of the shortest conversations we had when getting together to talk about how Art Basel was going to shape things in Hong Kong concerned the make up of the fair. There was complete agreement that fifty percent of the galleries should be from the Asia Pacific, as it was important for the fair to retain its identity: for the DNA of the fair to remain the same. What has changed dramatically is the infrastructure and the quality of the platform we are able to give to people. We have invested a huge amount of time and resources into evolving the architecture of the fair and I think there has been a dramatic improvement since the launch of the fair in 2007 and the fair launched in 2012. The second thing is the global reach that Art Basel has. We have one of the best address books and the access to all the top level curators and museum directors - and that has been a great thing.
What about the trend around art fairs and this argument that mid-level galleries have been essentially priced out of art fairs such as Art Basel, because of the cost that goes into taking part?
Well, I think we are in some kind of transitional moment. There has been a huge proliferation of art fairs in every corner of the world over the last five to ten years and ultimately, those that survive and do well are those that serve the needs of the gallery. I think galleries are going to have to be increasingly strategic in terms of what they want to achieve from art fairs and there are different kinds of art fairs. You have some that are more global and others that are more regionally focused and specialized in terms of a domestic audience. For some galleries it makes sense to target a very particular local or regional audience and for some it makes sense to work in a more global context. And galleries have finite recourses in terms of finance, manpower and energy, and they will have to increasingly make these selective decisions.
The reason I ask is that it is a transitional phase and this proliferation of art fairs has produced a new ecosystem as such, or a new economy.
One has to look at it as to whether it is additive or if it is taking something away. I think art fairs are a great way to introduce new collectors to buying art and they are an amazing opportunity for people, who otherwise may not have the opportunity to see art, to actually engage for the first time. So our aspiration is that an art fair has a positive impact for galleries not only within the timeline of the fairs themselves, but throughout the rest of the year. This helps introduce galleries to new collectors who will then go to the galleries throughout the year thus helping galleries establish these relationships for the long term. The world is increasingly event-driven and people are increasingly time-poor so art fairs allow people to see a lot of work in one go. It certainly serves a function but we are by no means looking to replace the experience of people seeing exhibitions or visiting exhibitions. We are here to support the galleries.
We have spoken about Hong Kong and your observations on that cultural scene and the way it is coming together as such; have you seen a change in Miami as a result of Art Basel in Miami Beach?
I am delighted to see that the focus this year seems to be back on the art. Miami, as we know, has a very vibrant social scene. There are lots of parties, and there is nothing wrong with that, you can never complain about there being too many parties. One can choose about going to these parties after all. But I am pleased to see that the focus is back on the art this year and I think we have an exceptional fair. There are very few weak links and it feels very consistent in terms of quality. We also have the new addition of the Editions sector this year, and that has been very successful, so the quality has been really good. Nova also has a tight selection this year, after having reduced the number of spaces – this has really driven up the quality. I think that every year it is a matter of reflecting on what has gone well, what has not gone so well. I think Collins Park has been a real success this year and I think this is going to be a tradition that is going to just go on and on. I am also constantly amazed by the Film sector, too. That it is staged at the New World Center is great; it brings film right out into the city and to have people sitting on bean bags to watch film at their leisure is an incredible thing to give the city. Thinking about Hong Kong, this kind of public program is something we would like to develop in the city.
With regards to Hong Kong are there changes you will make as a result of the first edition for the next fair?
Yes. For the coming edition, we learn every year from what’s gone well and what hasn’t gone well. I don’t have any specifics to announce right now; we’ll do this at the start of the next year, but overall we were very satisfied, though of course we feel like there is so much to achieve. We have only really just scratched the surface when it comes to Hong Kong. | <urn:uuid:92f63108-bcc8-4df8-a92e-8b61eed3628f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ocula.com/magazine/conversations/magnus-renfrew/ | 2020-09-24T04:21:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.974161 | 1,840 |

Marilyn Manson – We Are Chaos
By now, Marilyn Manson’s presence in music has become more obligatory than actually necessary. He’s a long way from the reviled shock-jock of his ‘90s heyday, but that persona is well-known enough for him to coast by through trying to recreate it time and time again, even when that energy clearly isn’t there. And when that’s been the constant factor basically since 2007’s Eat Me, Drink Me, it begs the question of whether it’s worth keeping him around anymore, or whether constant stabs at sonic reinvention are all that meaningful when they’re bogged down by writing that refuses to evolve. In any case, here’s We Are Chaos, Manson’s vaunted collaboration with Shooter Jennings, of which the meeting of minds would imply a more gothic country direction that could be interesting if handled in the right way. The problem is modern Marilyn Manson albums don’t tend to handle these things in the right way, and when We Are Chaos places its most identifiable ideas as little more than garnish, it’s another one to add to the pile. They rarely extend beyond the title track and Paint You With My Love, but even then, they’re rarely dark or oppressively heavy enough to make an impact, particularly in the jaunty, Beatles-esque swing of the former. That instead places an onus on how Jennings’ production works among more traditional Manson fare, and it’s disappointingly uneven. There’s a nice opulence to the swelling keys amongst the stalking guitars on Don’t Chase The Dead that’s probably the album’s singular great song, but the clattering nu-metal riffs on Perfume and the stilted, popping beat on Broken Needle really aren’t enjoyable in nearly any capacity. It’s not an album that’s gunning for particular high points anyway – a lot of this is the very tried-and-true, marginally industrial hard rock of a late-period Marilyn Manson album – and the fact that it struggles to even cultivate an intoxicating atmosphere means that We Are Chaos can have real trouble at moving itself along.
As for Manson himself, he’s up to his usual tricks, with the creaking delivery that sounds more arthritic than sinister nowadays, and some horribly multi-tracked performances that can make his different vocal lines bleed into gelatinous mush like on Red, Black And Blue. He’s clearly trying to keep up the facade, once splitting the difference between bogeyman, Satanist and, at times, nymphomaniac, but where he once had an energy of sorts to keep it up, here he’s fighting against a generally slow pace to even get himself out there. Even for the more personal bent this album is supposed to take, it’s hard to really glean anything of that nature when We Are Chaos insists on reverting to the same well that Manson has dipped in for years. This is allegedly a concept album of sorts, though you’d never be able to tell in how little engagement goes along with it, and how deeply Manson is doubling down on what’s basically his default setting doesn’t lead to much of any interest. Pair that with the lack of real instrumental flair that’s become an expected reality of Manson’s recent output, and We Are Chaos feels basically identical to any of its predecessor, in that there’s no way this is going to be remembered even remotely. It’s not precisely irredeemable, but it’s the sort of dozy, low-hanging material that Manson seems to churn out every single time he releases something, and that isn’t good enough to be a consistent standard. The anticipated late-period resurgence that’s predicted with every album hasn’t come the last handful of times it’s been claimed, and with We Are Chaos, perhaps it’s time to put any expectation of that away for good.

Knuckle Puck – 20/20
Right now, Knuckle Puck feel like the primary flagbearers of pop-punk that doesn’t warrant any sort of derision. Now that The Wonder Years are trending towards alt-rock and State Champs have really just become swept up in the tide, there’s definitely a position there that Knuckle Puck could fill, even if they’re not being directly pushed towards it. After all, in the cases of both Copacetic and Shapeshifter – two albums in which the blend of pop-punk with emo and melodic hardcore already felt refined and mature – they were more critical darlings than commercial, though Knuckle Puck’s willingness to hold on to the harder edges of the sound is something to be undoubtedly commended. On 20/20, though, the approach feels a bit different. This is definitely a more brisk album, both in tone and pace, and generally a lot more reminiscent of the upbeat summer pop-punk that Knuckle Puck could frequently be seen as the antithesis to. At the same time though, there’s still a gnarlier edge to the production, and a colour palette that does pop out more is given enough of a grounding to the harder sound to keep it stable. The result is without question some of the catchiest songs that Knuckle Puck have ever released in Sidechain and Earthquake, but also the galvanised, to-the-gut wallop of early State Champs on What Took You So Long? and True North, and the soaring, anthemic quality that makes the collaboration with Mayday Parade’s Derek Sanders on Breathe make sense. Throughout it all, there’s solid performances across the board that hold it too, particularly in how sharp the guitars from Nick Cansasanto and Kevin Maida feel while still having a bright, buoyant poppiness, enough for Joe Taylor’s more nasal, very traditional pop-punk vocal style to have some solid grounding. It’s far from the most innovative thing in the world, but to see Knuckle Puck transpose their typical instrumental vibe into something a lot more simple without losing too much is good stuff, and it’s kept entertaining pretty much every step of the way.
Admittedly that transition isn’t as watertight when it comes to the writing, though that might be a consequence of more jubilant material inherently not being as incisive or thought-provoking as something darker or more introspective. That’s the territory in which Knuckle Puck made their name, and while they’ve done their best to shift similar amounts of heart and lyrical detail into the complete opposite state, there’s definitely something that feels a bit thinner in the way it comes together, especially when they so openly swing for big sentiments like on the title track or Breathe. That being said, it’s a tone that the band still feel well-equipped to deal with; the timbre in Taylor’s voice lends itself nicely to feelings of great love on Earthquake and wide-eyed adventurousness on Into The Blue, and in general, the writing does punch above what’s typically expected from a pop-punk band. From what is evidently a good bit away from Knuckle Puck at the peak of their abilities, 20/20 still feels robust and in-keeping with where this band’s path has been going. The transition might lead to material doesn’t have the immediately noticeable longevity of its predecessors, but for an unashamedly bright and positive album from a band for whom that can be a bit out of their comfort zone, this is still good, and is nearly the perfect alternative from the sanitised or over-produced pop-punk trying to do this same sort of thing. There’s clearly heart and passion that’s gone into this, and for that to be the main constant across all of Knuckle Puck’s output is worth appreciating regardless of anything else.

’20/20′ by Knuckle Puck is released on 18th September on Rise Records.
Everything Everything – Re-Animator
It’s easy to see what people like about Everything Everything, just as it’s easy to see how those same features can turn others away. For all the love shown towards their mathy, intricate art-rock led by their caterwauling frontman Jonathan Higgs, it’s not hard to see how it can all come across as impossibly pretentious and highfalutin from another perspective, such is the case where every successive album from Everything Everything has seen them move further away from the mainstream indie prominence they may have once been awarded. Then again, Everything Everything have always been a band whose vision has laid outside of the mainstream comfort zone, and that couldn’t be better illustrated by Re-Animator in what’s ostensibly supposed to be a ‘back-to-basics’ release. ‘Basic’ is, of course, a relative term here, mostly because the austerity of Everything Everything and the knowingness of how implacably intellectual they are is most definitely still their main factor. The Radiohead comparisons haven’t been sloughed off in a hurry just yet, as seen in Higgs’ disconnected images and references designed to all fall into a state of the world address and an exploration of the bicameral mind that might become tangled in their own path occasionally on It Was A Monstering and Planets, but is still hard to look away from. It’s an approach that’s detailled but not particularly intuitive though, and besides the punched-up single Violet Sun, catchiness isn’t much of a factor with Everything Everything, and when they are so deeply rooted in the indie space, that does become more of a flaw than a feature. They aren’t at the avant-garde level of Radiohead, as much as they want to be, and trying to play that up can lead to what’s here refusing to stick.
Indeed, compared to the madcap, synapse-testing shifts that Everything Everything have previously made, sticking to a far more straightforward art-pop concoction on Re-Animator can be a lot less sharp by comparison. They continue to really zoom in on the minute quirks of their sound on Big Climb and Arch Enemy, which is at least easier to pick apart than the plodding indie-rock of Black Hyena or the rippling, Muse-adjacent swirls of The Actor. It’s not as tight as previous Everything Everything albums, and while that works on Violent Sun for channeling the big arena-indie vibe they’ve worked their way up to, elsewhere Re-Animator gives off the impression of an album trying to funnel everything else through that lens even though it’s not a cogent match whatsoever. Even on that token though, it still sounds good for the most part, in the bright, stark production that John Congleton can be pretty adept at, and the mid-ranged shuffle that a lot of these tracks pick up is once again a comfortable fit for them. It’s easy to see where the framework that worked for Everything Everything in the past has been retained (even if Higgs’ voice can still fly off and grate more than it should), and for an album that’s less vibrant and vital as a whole, scaling back a lot of that energy still works to a reasonable degree. It’s not an album that warrants as many revisits as past Everything Everything albums – it’s not quite interesting enough to make repeated returns that much of an attractive prospect – but for anyone locked in with this band this far in, Re-Animator will still provide a fix, albeit one that’s noticeably decreased in nearly every respect.

Napalm Death – Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism
Anyone who’s even remotely interested in metal knows about Napalm Death. They’re one of the most pivotal bands in the history of extreme metal, the pioneers of grindcore that were way ahead of their time and that still see their influence permeate through the underground today. What’s more, there’s never not been a time where Napalm Death haven’t felt utterly vital; part of that is down to a consistent career that’s gone unencumbered since 1981 and produced new material on a surprisingly prolific basis, but in every aspect from political standpoints to being a pop culture curio that’s well and truly transcended its extreme metal dimensions, Napalm Death have continued to ride it out. As a result, Throes Of Joy In The Jaws Of Defeatism shows a band for whom the idea of slowing down is not even entertained, albeit the form it’s delivered in sees Napalm Death continue their advancement away from the nailed-down grindcore and crust-punk of old. Here, there’s a more traditional death metal base that, on tracks like Backlash Just Because and Fluxing Of The Muscle, bore down a lot deeper into outright brutality, while Invigorating Chaos and A Bellyful Of Salt And Spleen undergo a similar process through the guttural, hellish noise endemic of acts like Swans or Godflesh. It all represents the further refinement that Napalm Death’s sound has been undergoing for years now, though Throes Of Joy… might be the most complete it’s ever sounded. It’s almost borderline conventional in its structuring and the avenues in metal that it chooses to explore in places (hell, Amoral even goes as far as to channel the punkier side of a band like Lamb Of God), but it’s still unmistakably the extreme metal where Napalm Death originally laid claim to and are more than comfortable bending and contorting it to their will.
Because, for as much growth and expanding as Napalm Death have undergone, Throes Of Joy… still bears the ravenous brutality that’s always defined them at its core. Particularly on the opener Fuck The Factoid, Danny Herrera’s drums have the sort of suffocating tightness and knife-edge efficiency that makes his contributions to the heaviness just as vital as Mitch Harris’ ever-towering guitar work, and on tracks like Backlash Just Because and Joie De Ne Pas Vivre, Shane Embury’s battering bass tone rounds out a rhythm section that’s entirely pummeling and destructive in its own right. That’s all topped off by Barney Greenway’s vocals which have been left almost entirely untouched by time across his nearly-four-decade career, the sort of monstrous, throttling roars that couldn’t be more of a perfect fit for another dose of vicious, eternally caustic lyrics. The production is definitely in-keeping with the sharper, modern style that Napalm Death have held onto for a bit now, but it’s never watered down, nor does it dampen the volatile spirit of a band who continue to blaze the same trail as they have since day one. That’s the most important thing to note when it comes to how Throes Of Joy… – and indeed, any modern Napalm Death album – is viewed; for as much as the crust-punk sound might have been buried over time, the burning destructiveness and untenable force it represents have never left. As such, it leads to another great album by a band for whom that’s become the norm, as well as another reminder of why Napalm Death have been the de facto face of underground extreme metal for as long as they have.

Movements – No Good Left To Give
For a band bathed in the critical iridescence that Movements were, they were allowed to fall into the background rather quickly. Feel Something was released in 2017, and the past three years have yielded virtual silence from their camp, something that’s been taken with very little resistance from what was shaping up to be a pretty dedicated and vocally supportive fanbase. But then again, Movements do come across as the sort of band to operate at their own pace outside of the more pressured industry machinations; Feel Something had the barbed presentation and tension to slot it more comfortably into emo’s underground, and between the turnaround time and how their sound has been progressing, No Good Left To Give seems to be moving deeper in that direction. Sonically, there are instances of Movements at their most low-key and skeletal, where the bass and rattling drums form the primary instrumental backdrop like on Don’t Give Up Your Ghost, and Patrick Miranda’s vocals emphasising how shrunken and vulnerable they actually are. It’s a stark creative decision, but one that can naturally lead into the downbeat emo that has more exhaling power elsewhere, with Will Yip’s production style coating it all in sepia filters and a cracking soft-focus. Even more so that Feel Something, No Good Left To Give really does reveal itself as a grower; it does take a while to properly click, but there’s real, genuine power that peels out from tracks like Santiago Peak, or even the more explicitly skyscraping moments like Moonlight Lines and Love Took The Last Of It, still doused in reverberating atmosphere but now with the space to surge forward and indulge in Movements’ more forthright sense of rawness. By comparison, the fluttering guitar twinkles peppered through Skin To Skin feel like a bone thrown to pop that doesn’t quite mesh with everything else, but generally the mood throughout No Good Left To Give really connects well, and does indeed pull inspiration from bands like Touché Amoré in how the slow-burn feels so organically expanding.
It’s also a big factor in elevating the content here. While they’ve always had moments of real gut-punch specificity, Movements have never been completely above hitting the emo handbook for inspiration, and while that’s still true here, they’ve become much better at utilising what they have to hand in an effective way. Again, Skin To Skin is a clear outlier in what’s basically a straight-up sex song, but the depression in In My Blood and Tunnel Vision, the search for place in Santiago Peak and the ruminating on past relationships on Seneca and Love Took The Last Of It have personal stakes that a lesser band might otherwise forgo. It’s definitely a result of the writing having much more punch in its imagery than what’s usually wheeled out to meet the standard, further amped up by Miranda’s expressiveness as a frontman and how much exposed passion he can wring out from it. He’s arguably Movements’ ace in the hole on this album, with the flexibility that allows him to hit those emotional peaks (even seeing a return of La Dispute-esque pseudo-spoken word passages on Moonlight Lines), and bring the heft that makes this album click. Admittedly, even with all of that, there’s still the impression that Movements can still hit the tiniest bit harder, and maybe even make the leap into the circles as Touché Amoré and La Dispute instead of just coquettishly glancing by, but No Good Left To Give sees them making a crucial few steps towards that regardless. They’re currently teetering on the edge of being a truly phenomenal post-hardcore band, something that the next few years of refinement and growth will undoubtedly lead towards. And for as slow as Movements’ ascent might continue to be, the payoff at the end is now almost guaranteed to be worth the wait.

Yours Truly – Self Care
Now feels like a strange time for Yours Truly to be releasing their debut album. They’re clearly being positioned as another pop-rock powerhouse ready to make enormous strides in the scene, but nothing they’ve released up to now really gives that impression. They’ve not really formed an identity yet, or even one with enough distinct features to noticeably come together, and as such, trying to push forward with a full-length album in that position comes across as a rather premature decision. It’s not like Self Care does much to sway that opinion either; Yours Truly still sound like a very blatant amalgam of their pop-rock predecessors, from Stand Atlantic to Tonight Alive to We Are The In Crowd, and on an album that’s certainly catchy and shows how prominent their melodic instincts are, there isn’t a great deal of personality to go above and beyond. That comes most immediately in the stripped-back pop-punk ballads Undersize and Half Of Me, both of which feel like relics of a time when their inclusions on albums like this was the norm to show some kind of sonic diversity, but in the clicking percussion of the former and the breathy acoustic lines anchoring both, they don’t feel all that needed in a modern context. Indeed, a lot of Self Care does have its sights cast on the pop-punk and pop-rock of the first half of the 2010s, particularly in prominent surge of the guitars and Mikaila Delgado’s vocals which bear more than a passing resemblance to the power-over-precision approach that was so popular at the time. In general, it’s a sound that Yours Truly can hold their own within, and it’s not like Self Care is unlikable because of it, but it also draws attention to how little flexibility and wiggle room the band have by embracing it so fixedly, and that can really hold them back from going the distance they clearly want to.
That being said, Yours Truly have a strong enough command of what they’re doing so that they’re rarely outright bad, and their ability to craft an excellent chorus when they want to can pick up a fair amount of the slack when needed. It’s where Delgado’s voice shines the most in tracks like Vivid Dream and Funeral Home, where she’s allowed to match the bounding pop-punk energy and dole out the sort of hooks that, without question, earmark themselves as Yours Truly’s best feature at this stage. It’s what gives the first run of four songs the punch to start the album up right, even if the payoff elsewhere isn’t quite as strong, and its where the potential of Yours Truly shows itself the most readily. If they could channel that ear for melodic kick into something more decisively their own, they could definitely go pretty far, especially when they’ve already got a good ear for lyrical choice and production that’s rarely ever all that intrusive or overly synthetic (again, with the exception of Undersize). At their centre, there’s a potentially strong band waiting to break out of Yours Truly; it just needs cultivating more to reach that point, and while the signs are there on Self Care, they’re perhaps not quite as full-throttle as they need to be to leave more of a mark. Hopefully that’ll come in time though, and the bits and pieces of that spark on display here can really come to fruition as something that stands out as its own thing.

Fit For A King – The Path
At some point, it’s worth looking at a band like Fit For A King and wondering if they’re ever going to have a breakthrough. They’ve been around for well over a decade now, with six albums and a number of lineup changes to their name, and yet, within the greater metalcore sphere, they’re just one of those names that might seem relatively familiar sometimes and little else. It’s not even like The Path has been built up as the one to change that in the way that so many of these albums often are, even though it’s decently strong for what it is. It definitely feels like the sort of album that isn’t looking to branch out too terribly far, but even then it becomes clear where Fit For A King’s strengths lie within that. They’re much better at emulating the Americanised version of metalcore popularised in the 2000s by bands like Killswitch Engage and Still Remains, and that shows in the more direct, pacey metal of Breaking The Mirror or moments of more focused heaviness like on Annihilation and Vendetta, the latter of which sounds fantastically heavy in the way it’s produced. Moreover, there’s a sleekness in this form that isn’t too intrusive or distracting from the heft, and with a great sense of crunch to the guitars (even if that can sap the same presence from the bass and drums) and the ominous bells that occasionally ring through the mix, Fit For A King are unquestionably at their best when playing to the enormous, cavernous size that metal like this can foster.
It’s just a shame that isn’t constant, and that The Path experiences some severe unevenness that can really hold it back. That’s most noticeable when Fit For A King choose to engage with the more modern, synthetic style of metalcore, which at best can lead to some jarring synth mixing on Prophet that’s never blended too well, and at worst, embodies a clumsiness on God Of Fire that presumably aims for a pseudo-Motionless In White industrial sound that can end up just as slapdash as that band. There isn’t a whole lot of consistency here, and that causes the cracks in an already fractious formula to widen all the more. At their core, Fit For A King aren’t doing much more than the typical widescreen metalcore fare (such is the case with lyrics that are universally uninteresting), and when they struggle with that, it can be a real stumbling block to prevent them from getting much further. There are flashes of real greatness here that make that even more disappointing, too; Ryan Kirby has a raw, ragged snarl that’s a good fit for when the band really ramp up the ferocity, and the fact they’ll occasionally pepper these songs with a guitar solo or a craftier lick shows they can really do more than what the opportunities they’re giving themselves allow. As it stands, Fit For A King just aren’t pushing forward in the way they could, and even though the evidence of that bumps The Path up above an average level, it could be a lot more.

Eastwood – It Never Gets Easy
In terms of embracing a chameleonic musical profile, Cole Crutchfield is doing a far more comprehensive job than most. He’s best known as the guitarist of hardcore favourites Knocked Loose, as well as fronting the death metal band Torture Tomb, but Eastwood occupies a completely different side of the spectrum altogether. Here, Crutchfield is taking inspiration from modern emo and rustic alt-rock, a far cry from the heaviness of his other projects but one that displays just how deeply his acumen for great music runs. In fact, It Never Gets Easy might be up their with his absolute best work, simply for the degree in which Crutchfield throws himself into the sound and headspace, and embraces how far he can go with it. Thematically it’s not breaking any new ground, but there’s such a tangible dejection at the loneliness and isolation felt on Fair-Weather Friends and Living The Dream, or the burning passion for a broken relationship that’s yet to be snuffed out on Two Dollar Hamm’s and I (Don’t) Hate You. Add in the fear of loss that engulfs Crutchfield’s perception – be that of a friend on Two Story Window or his parents on Never Age – and the darker shades of emo that Eastwood incorporate have a human weight behind them, something that Crutchfield’s more flexible, latently tense delivery can vocalise excellently.
What takes It Never Gets Easy over the top, though, is how well that similar mood translates in its sound. It’s painted with the same dark greens and browns as a band like Citizen or Basement, but that’s more so in its tone, where the rumbling guitars and bass lend a heaviness that funnelled through melodies that can be surprisingly bright and uptempo. Never Age practically falls into the newer wave of pop-punk in how bracing its gallop is while being tempered enough to cover anything saccharine, while the breezier sway and rustle of False Start and taut indie-rock guitar line and backbeat of I (Don’t) Need You are definitely lighter but never slide into trifling or unfocused territory. Even on songs like Fine and Waves that incorporate clearer uses of atmospheric and shoegaze elements, there’s an alt-rock hugeness within them that’s a key anchoring force that keeps everything held together. When everything is given that level of care and fine-tuning (without ever being micromanaged, at that), it leads to an album – and indeed, a band – with barely a weak link visible, able to nail down the simplicity of their sound so well, and come up with so much more than the sum of its parts. What’s more, when that simplicity can yield real depth and heart like it has here, as well as the sort of melody that makes coming back time and time again a must, the results really can be something brilliant.

Ryan Hamilton & The Harlequin Ghosts – Nowhere To Go But Everywhere
There’s a rather specific musical niche occupied by Ryan Hamilton’s music career that typically isn’t represented much nowadays. Between the indie-folk-pop of Smile Smile, the twee indie-rock of People On Vacation and the more straightforward rock of his eponymous projects, he’s become rooted in a very classically-styled brand of power-pop that looks to deliberately avoid trends while playing up how deeply its affinity for the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s run. That’s effectively the entire premise of Oh No on this new album with The Harlequin Ghosts, in which the vast majority of the lyrics are an ongoing list of classic albums and songs, something which also highlights just how limited Hamilton’s approach can be in the modern musical climate. Nowhere To Go But Everywhere has next to no flash or gimmicky in the presentation, but it doesn’t help when the inherent focus moved to the content reveals how basic and worn-out this sort of AM soft-rock subject matter can be. You can tell that Hamilton has worked with members of Bowling For Soup in the past as the problems with their songwriting carry over here, namely using classic rock worship and a deliberately endearing, everyman persona as the sole boon for lyrics and themes that just aren’t all that interesting. There’s enough charm for it to work on Southern Accents (and maybe Newcastle Charm, if the ironic enjoyment can circle far enough back to sincerity), but mostly, there’s either clumsy references clogging up Oh No and Jesus & John Lennon, or rote, formulaic sentiments on Only A Dream, Don’t Fall Apart and Pick Yourself Up that act as another interpretation on what was already not compelling.
Hamilton’s vocals don’t help either with as reedy and nasal as they can be, nor does a lot of the instrumentation. Admittedly it’s all very tasteful and well-produced, and fits the remit of pseudo-folky power-pop that this sort of thing tends to strive for. The primarily acoustic guitars are buoyed by bass and drums that are low-key but unfailingly organic, and splashes of strings, synths and pianos keep it all balanced on the tweeness that Hamilton’s work has become used to. That’s all fine on paper, but for an album like this that isn’t exactly swinging for the fences, a presentation that echoes that can often lead to it feeling throwaway or lacking in real depth. Southern Accents is more of an exception in its burnished soft-rock slow-burn that might occasionally owe a bit too much to Deacon Blue’s Dignity, but still has an elegance and richness that finds it towering over everything else here. That’s because the pithy but insubstantial skips of Jesus & John Lennon and Newcastle Charm or the sparkling folk-pop of Don’t Fall Apart lean heavily on the brand of 2000s pop-rock that has very little staying power by design, and when they inevitably fade away as quickly as they arrive, there’s little tangible effect to be found. That’s true of Nowhere To Go But Everywhere as a whole; it’s never horrid, but it’s simultaneously so far away from being anything noteworthy that it’s barely worth paying attention to. Hamilton and his band are very confined into their narrow comfort zone, and while they might be having fun being there, the end results leave a lot to be desired, that is when those results actually materialise at all.

Mother’s Cake – Cyberfunk!
Mother’s Cake really aren’t doing themselves any favours by calling themselves…that. That’s the sort of name that belongs to comedy-rock detritus designed to be enjoyed ironically, not that of a proper band, and it doesn’t help that Cyberfunk! as an album title bears the exact same ‘we’re-good-because-we’re-wacky’ energy. What’s perhaps most surprising of all, then, is that none of the actual music is anywhere close to as throwaway as that could insinuate, instead taking the form of a sometimes proggy, sometimes psychedelic garage-rock / hard rock hybrid that punches well about its weight class on more than a handful of occasions. Apart from some lyrics that do indeed lean on the wackier side in a way that albums like this tend to tarnish themselves with (Love Your Smell is probably the prime culprit), Mother’s Cake actually have a fairly robust range as a band with a proficiency that’s clearly being cultivated and taken seriously. They switch between scuzzy-yet-atmospheric garage-rock on Toxic Brother, a frenetic Rage Against The Machine impression on I’m Your President and ever-reshaping disco-rock on Hit On Your Girl, a prospect that might sound like an utter travesty in clashing sounds and tones, but is actually held together fairly well in a particularly malleable playing style. There’s a lot of sweltering energy jostling around within Mother’s Cake, and the band find it easy enough to repurpose for whatever they need at any given time. Even on the jangly, ruffled-up ‘60s pastiche of Love Your Smell, it occupies a similar space to where the Black Lips were going on their last couple of albums, and for a band like Mother’s Cake for whom the parallels become rather easy to draw up, it’s a direction that proves rewarding.
Of course, such a restlessness can get a bit tiring, especially towards the end when it still doesn’t feel like Mother’s Cake have a great deal of focus to them, but it’s hard to say that there’s a moment where Cyberfunk! outright falters among its cavalier genre-hopping. There’s enough meat in the scuzzy production style to ensure that they’re never completely lost, and the two key pillars of Yves Krismer’s yelping, unhinged vocals and Benedikt Trenkwalder’s omnipresent bass thuds have a defiant presence to them throughout. It’s definitely a powerful album, and the way that Mother’s Cake are able to convey that in basically any direction they choose to take themselves is to their credit enormously. What could be incredibly easy to become lost in (something the band do come close to at times) is generally held together in a way to avoid that, and the number of turns and colourful new layers that reveal themselves with each subsequent listen can send the replay value on Cyberfunk! through the roof at points. It’s weird little album that defies almost all expectations set out for itself, but that couldn’t be further from a bad thing; if anything, it earmarks just how close the possibility of Mother’s Cake being a hidden gem in modern rock actually is.

Musculoskeletal & Postural Restoration
Postural restoration is an area of physical therapy treatment that encompasses the entire body. The focus of the treatment is identifying and correcting common postural patterns found in the human body.
All humans have asymmetry in their posture and that influences the way we sit, stand, walk and even breathe. This asymmetry promotes our body to fall into movement patterns the negatively influence muscle function and structural alignment. By addressing the underlying postural deficits, physical therapists can more effectively treat our patients and at the same time teach them how to prevent further injury. The process starts with a thorough postural assessment. Re-positioning activities are prescribed to restore neutral alignment to the musculoskeletal system. Once improved alignment is achieved, movement patterns are practiced to reinforce correct positioning and optimal loading of the body.

We all know that diamonds are the most common stone used in engagement rings. But what about those looking for something different, but just as versatile as a crystal clear diamond? Colored gems such as rubies
, and sapphires
offer a unique look, but may some may want to avoid bright tones in their everyday jewelry.
So what’s the answer to this conundrum? For a unique, versatile choice, we suggest looking into exceptionally beautiful opal engagement rings. Featuring a one-of-a-kind play of color and wide variations, find out why opal is the definition of a versatile engagement ring.
Play of Color
Perhaps the quintessential quality of opals is “play of color.” This means that an opal flashes a rainbow of colors whenever it catches the light, as seen in our authentic Edwardian era Whitechapel
ring. This is somewhat different than the prism effect that occurs when the same happens to a diamond. Play of Color contributes to the versatility of opal engagement rings because even a traditional white opal contains the entire spectrum of colors that will complement anything from a white wedding dress to a colorful, patterned scarf.
The most common colored opal is white. However, opals are also available in a wide variety of colors that all feature its signature play of color characteristic. Dark blue and black opals are another great choice that still maintain the stone’s complemental nature. These darker stones, like our Canoe Hill
ring, usually show off cool colors best, such as blues, greens, and purples. Other colored opal options include fire opals, which are a deep orange color.
One argument in favor of traditional diamond engagement rings is that colorless diamonds go with everything. Other types of jewelry can be worn with complementary outfits and clothing and swapped in and out depending on the occasion. However, engagement rings are usually worn every day, or at least most days, for the wearer’s entire life. Unless your day-to-day style is eclectic and you don’t pay much attention to uniformity and matching when it comes to fashion, you may want a piece of jewelry that is worn every day to be able to go with any kind of outfit. Opal engagement rings, especially transparent or white opals, offer that versatility.
Now that you’ve decided on your versatile engagement ring choice, there are a few important things you need to know when it comes to opals. Opals are a very fragile stone because they contain between 3-30% water. This causes them to have a higher chance of breaking, so be sure to take extra care and be mindful when and where you wear yours!

The phrase the silly season denotes a period, usually in late summer and early autumn, when newspapers and other media cover trivial material because of a lack of more important news.
This phrase originated in the United Kingdom, where the supposed lack of important news is a result of Parliament’s summer recess in August and September, along with similar breaks at other institutions.
It first appeared—and was probably coined—in an unsigned article about The Times of London, England, published in The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science, and Art (London, England) of 13th July 1861:
THE SILLY SEASON.
“Constant readers” of the Times—understanding by “Constant readers” those who really read the Times all the year round—must have been often amused by watching the change which yearly comes over the great journal during the months of autumn. When Parliament is no longer sitting and the gay world is no longer gathered together in London, something very different is supposed to do for the remnant of the public from what is needed in the politer portions of the year. The Times’s great men have doubtless gone out of town, like other great men. How could a leading article for the Times be written out of London, and how should men capable of writing leading articles for the Times stay in London at such a season? They are vanished. The hands which at other times wield the pen for our instruction are now wielding the gun on a Scotch moor or the Alpenstock on a Swiss mountain. Work is left to feebler hands. Then it is that ecclesiastical reformers press the claims of Mr. Slope to the Deanery of Barchester; then it is that enthusiastic antiquaries rummage the ruins of Carthage in hopes of finding the bones of Hannibal. In those months the great oracle becomes—what at other times it is not—simply silly. In spring and early summer, the Times is often violent, unfair, fallacious, inconsistent, intentionally unmeaning, even positively blundering, but it is very seldom merely silly. So far from it, one can, in a kind of way, generally admire the shrewdness with which fallacies, inconsistencies, and even blunders are adapted to the intellectual standard of those for whom leading articles in the Times are mainly written. In the dead of autumn, when the second and third rate hands are on, we sink from nonsense written with a purpose to nonsense written because the writer must write either nonsense or nothing.
The phrase was used in its current generic sense in the Post-Scriptum to London Correspondence, in Trewman’s Exeter Flying Post (Exeter, Devon, England) of Wednesday 18th September 1861—Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-82) was an Italian patriot and military leader:
A few odd items of intelligence have come to hand this morning, one of which is that the stories so industriously propagated about Garibaldi’s going to America or being invited to go, are inventions utterly baseless, got up nobody knows why or wherefore, except that at this season of the year, “the silly season,” canards [cf. footnote] are in full flight.
The York Herald (York, Yorkshire, England) of Saturday 26th September 1863 was critical of Parliamentarians’ activities during Parliament’s summer recess:
In relieving Parliament from its annual labours, our Most Gracious Sovereign, in an old-established formula, generally alludes to the “other and important duties” which members of both Houses have to perform during the recess. Many of these “duties” no doubt exclusively relate to field sports, and much time and money are devoted to what has been cynically called the “silly season,” during which all who can afford the relaxation, gravitate towards the seaside, or extend their journeyings to the continent.
The phrase was used as a synonym of the dead season (i.e., the period when ‘society’ has departed from holiday resorts) in Social Science, an unsigned article about “the scientific congresses which have lately, in provincial cities, beguiled these autumn months”, published in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine (Edinburgh, Scotland, and London, England) of October 1861:
Few inventions of recent days, prolific in expedients for the people, have been more happy in contrivance, or attained greater success, than these itinerant social and scientific performances. […] A man of science in these our days, accustomed during long dreary months to London residence and routine, with little, it may be, save the light of knowledge to cheer him through dark winter nights, must find it a refresher to get abroad into the free air and the green fields, to “ventilate” his intellect and renew his youth. It is then, as we have said, a most happy contrivance, this holding of congresses, social, scientific, and philanthropic, during what would otherwise be the dead season, sometimes called irreverently the silly season.
In the southern hemisphere, the phrase is applied to the austral-summer holiday period, as in the local news published in The Age (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia):
– on Wednesday 13th January 1886:
There are signs that “the silly season” has set in with more than usual severity, and it is only natural that the dispute of the dock laborers with their employers should be an occasion for infinite nonsense being talked.
– on Thursday 20th January 1887:
Whether it is that the setting in of the “silly season” has induced municipal councillors to try their hands at providing amusements for the people in rivalry of Parliament, it is certain that the new year has witnessed a full list of episodes of a lively character emanating from the council chambers.
Gilbert Mant defined the phrase in his column The way I see it, in The Sydney Morning Herald (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) of Sunday 20th January 1957:
At the moment we are passing through what is commonly regarded in the newspaper world as a “silly season.”
It’s the sort of season when, apart from dangerous crises in Egypt, Israel, Aden, Kashmir, Poland, Hungary and Indonesia, hardly anything ever happens.
In other words, there’s nothing much to write about and you have to do as best as you can.
That’s why, in silly seasons, we have hoses disappearing into the ground, water running backwards in bath tubs, anti-rotary clotheslines, magic flutes, rock-’n’-roll and various other forms of mass hysteria.
This photograph and caption are from In anticipation of the silly season: giant fish caught off the coast of California, self-derisively published in The Bystander (London, England) of Wednesday 8th June 1910:

In French, canard in the sense of a false story reported by a second-rate newspaper is attested in the mid-18th century.
It seems to have originated in the phrase bailler un canard à moitié, literally to half-give a duck, meaning to deceive (the verb bailler is now archaic). What this phrase alluded to is obscure. It is first recorded in Les Neapolitaines, comedie françoise facecieuse. Sur le subiect d’vne Histoire d’vn Parisien, vn Espagnol, & vn Italien (Paris, France – 1584), a comedy by the French jurist and author François d’Ambroise (1550-1620).
This apparently gave rise to the phrase donneur de canards, literally a giver of canards, denoting a deceiver, attested in Les deux Freres Gemeaux, ou les Menteurs qui ne mentent point (Paris, France – 1665), a comedy by the French playwright Edme Boursault (1638-1701).
From the sense a false story reported by a second-rate newspaper, the French noun canard came to designate a second-rate newspaper, and, by extension, any newspaper—hence Le Canard enchaîné, literally The Chained-up Newspaper, the name of a French satirical weekly newspaper published in Paris and founded in 1915. | <urn:uuid:69db5fd7-dbd5-4142-8cb2-809655c031e5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://wordhistories.net/2019/02/17/silly-season-origin/ | 2020-09-24T05:06:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.954518 | 1,794 |

I’m about to do a bait and switch on you. Remember what I said about pipelines and power laws? Well, you can forget it; it’s completely irrelevant. That’s right, irrelevant. This is sales for startups and the laws of startups do not conform to the normal ways of doing business. Like some topsy-turvy, Einsteinian relativistic world, things are not always as they seem.
The Power Law Pipeline is important, but not until the startup is in scaling mode. At that point, you are in a volume strategy and presumably have the resources to handle the fire hose. You are taking your sales process and turning it into a well-oiled machine. Thus, measuring things like pipeline efficiency is critical. However, when you are at the very early stages, you’re simply not equipped to handle the fire hose.
So why bring it up at all? Because it will become important if you are lucky enough to find product-market fit. But more importantly, you need to understand where you are going to find customers. In the beginning, it’s fine to work with a handful of early adopters who you know through your network, but eventually you will need to find more business. That requires lots of leads.
So if the pipeline is not critical, how are you supposed to measure sales results? That would be your forecast. However, this is not the forecast as it might be envisioned in a big company. That pipeline is actually tightly intertwined with the forecast in large sales forces. In a startup, the forecast can simply be defined as the list of active deals closable within a set timeframe. Let’s examine those key words from the previous sentence.
- List. What’s important about a list? Well, it shouldn’t be too short or too long. A long list leads to poor prioritization, and a short list means putting all your eggs in one basket. You know what happens with eggs and baskets. Make your list a healthy size — one that you and the team can realistically tackle — but have enough options so that you are not at risk when deals fall through.
- Active Deals. You are going to have plenty of duds over time. And the temptation is to keep them around, thinking these deals are going to resurrect themselves like Jesus. Not much chance there — a dead deal, for the most part, stays dead. Keep it in your CRM system or spreadsheet for accounting purposes, but do not put it on a forecast.
- Closable. To close is to bring finality to an activity, in this case finalizing a deal by selling the product or service. Of course, the customer relationship continues on, but closing is when the cash comes in and you can book the revenue for accounting and compensation purposes. This is the goal of every deal, and the key metric by which forecasts are measured and evaluated.
- Set Timeframe. An active deal can be closable either next month or twelve months from now. But not knowing when puts a real crimp in planning. The finances of a startup are always in a delicate balance between revenues, cash flow and bank balances. When that balance is not stable, that creates distress and a lack of paychecks. Therefore, we need to establish a timeframe by which sales are going to close. In most situations, dividing the year into quarters makes the most sense, though you might also do months.
This is why the forecast is so critical for the organization, it is your view into what revenue is coming into the business and when. It allows you to view what’s going on daily and it is important for the purposes of both strategy and tactical considerations. It is strategic-centric in terms of insight into overall business prioritization. It is tactical-centric in terms of directing resources and managing tasks to bring deals to closure. In many ways, it is the most critical business dashboard in the B2B enterprise software model.
Is this all that is in the forecast though? No. There are almost always some additional bits of information you will need to complete the forecast view. A complete forecast will include the following:
- Deal. This is the opportunity information. Since you may have multiple deals with a customer, you need to track things per deal.
- Account. It helps to know who the customer is, so let’s include the customer name.
- Sales Stage. This is how far along a deal is in the sales process. Sometimes, it is worth having even very early deals (still in qualifying stage) in a forecast if they are highly promising or high profile.
- Status. A bit more detailed than the sales stage, a deal status gives the current state of the deal.
- Probability. This is the salesperson’s gut-feel measurement. This is not always included, but it can sometimes be useful to bring up concerns that the salesperson or manager may have. Oftentimes, this number will be tied into the sales stage and will be used in determining rolled-up forecast numbers (i.e. expected revenue versus total forecasted revenue).
- Revenue. How much is the deal worth? By adding up all the numbers across all the deals, the potential revenue for the team can be determined and compared with sales goals. Therefore, it is important to get the numbers here as close to the mark as possible early in the process.
- Products. You cannot figure out a revenue number without knowing what and how much a customer is buying. In the early days, you may just have one product (or no real product at all), but later on when more products and configurations are created, this will need to be tracked.
- Close Date. This is when the deal will finally be closed, meaning all contracts are signed and the business is officially won. When deals are rolled-up (i.e. all the deals combined for reporting and analysis), it provides a sense as to when revenues can be expected within certain timeframes. Close dates should be as firm as possible to allow for accurate measurement of expected quarterly (or monthly or other time period) revenues.
With this tool in hand, and only this tool, you can begin to manage sales. There is no need for fancy software or processes at this point. You simply need a spreadsheet at the start, until enough salespeople are brought on board and enough deals are active where a CRM or sales forecasting tool would be useful. An important point to highlight though is that with any tool, it is only as good as the data that is put into it. The saying garbage in, garbage out, is quite apt when it comes to the forecast. It can either be an accurate view of sales and a predictable means of managing the business, or it can be as insightful as an amusement park fortuneteller. A forecast may not be totally scientific, but we do not want any crystal balls determining our future.
So this is the forecast in a nutshell. The forecast is your list of deals that you will close at a set time and that you will run your sales team on. This is the list that will be on the whiteboard in the office, be at the center of every sales strategy session, forecast call and sales review, and the living/breathing number that drives the team’s sales efforts. There is no list more important and it trumps all other considerations. Learn to love the forecast, be fanatical about the forecast, eat the forecast for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Be one with the forecast.

Sun Bingo Love Island Closing Party
Sun Bingo have temporarily replaced their Everyone’s a Winner promotion with an amazing daily prize draw promotion which runs every day until 20th July, giving players the opportunity to win something quite unique – a pair of tickets to the Sun’s Love Island Closing Party which will take place at Tropicana Beach Club in London on Monday 29th July (the prize includes an overnight stay).
Entering a draw is very simple (assuming you have an account at Sun Bingo, of course). Just opt in with the code of the day (these are all listed on site) and play £10 cash on bingo or slots – but do be aware that this only includes slots which are directly accessible from inside the bingo lobby via the Games tab.
There’s one pair of tickets to be won each day; the draws take place the following day (or Monday for play on Friday, Saturday or Sunday). The winner has 24 hours to confirm their prize so if you’re planning to enter, do make sure that your contact details are up to date.
We’ve saved the best thing about this promotion for last – as in the Sun Bingo prize draws of old (before the move to the Virtue Fusion bingo platform), only one entry per player per day is allowed and this means that everyone who participates has an equal chance of winning. Surely one of the best online bingo promotions ever run at Sun! | <urn:uuid:7ad5b447-4c25-4ddb-ac4b-3a62c8e8223f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.bestnewbingosites.co.uk/news/sun-bingo-love-island-closing-party/ | 2020-09-24T03:50:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.956357 | 300 |

Japanese Barberries are fun and useful plants that keep getting more and more popular. Even though they’re armed with small prickles, gardeners have embraced them, because they come in so many interesting shapes and colors. Orange Rocket lifted off from the Czech Republic. Nurseryman Michal Andrusiv wanted to know what would happen if he crossed Aurea, a brightyellow Barberry with a rounded form, with Helmond Pillar, a narrowly upright Barberry with burgundy leaves. The result has rocketed to the top of many people’s wish lists! Introduced in 2006, it continues to be a standout among the many Barberry choices available today.
Orange Rocket Barberry is more of a red color than orange, but in any case, it glows! Calm its fire by planting it with cool blue or lavender bloomers such as Russian Sage, Bluebeard, or Catmint.
How to Grow
Grow Orange Rocket Barberry in full sun to bring out its richest colors. Shade will make the leaves turn green. Choose a site where the soil drains freely, as this plant will not tolerate “wet feet.” It needs regular water during the establishment period, but will be quite drought tolerant after that. Prune as needed to keep stray branches from spoiling the tidy appearance of this formal element. Japanese Barberries have become invasive in some states. Check with your nearest extension office if you have questions about the status of Barberries in your area.

11th November 2009
In October 2009 the results from the study ‘Medicines reconciliation in ambulatory care: attempts at improvement’1 were published. The objective of the study was to improve the overall accuracy of medication lists in an outpatient setting by providing performance feedback and training to the healthcare team and increasing patient participation in the medication reconciliation process. The study was carried out in outpatient clinics in Rochester, U.S.A.
The authors of the study focused on medicine list completeness, correctness and accuracy using a random selection of patients for each of the 3 separate measurement periods: pre-intervention (n=108), and 2 immediate post interventions — firstly a licensed practical nurse (LPN) intervention (n=102), followed by a patient awareness intervention (n=115). The study aimed to test the authors’ hypothesis that medication list accuracy would improve by including patients in the process. The results were:
- Completeness of medication lists improved from 20.4% pre-intervention, to 45.1% post LPN intervention, and 50.4% following the patient awareness intervention
- Correctness of medication lists improved from 23.1% post LPN intervention, to 37.7% following the patient intervention.
- The medication list accuracy improved from 11.5% pre-intervention, to 19.2% post LPN intervention, and 29.0% following the patient intervention.1
Medicines reconciliation is as important in the outpatient setting as it is during the admission or discharge stages of an inpatient episode.
The authors of this study have demonstrated that, by involving and training all members of the healthcare team, providing performance feedback and increasing patient involvement in the process, the accuracy of medication lists in outpatient settings can be significantly improved.
Outpatient healthcare teams should review their procedures to ensure that they are doing all they can to train their staff and encourage patient involvement in the medicines reconciliation process.
Medication error can result in harm to patients. The NPSA reported the number of incidents of medication errors involving admission and discharge as 7070, with 2 fatalities and 30 that caused severe harm (figures from November 2003 and March 2007).2
It is important that healthcare professionals and managers from different care settings agree on a minimum dataset of information to support the medicines reconciliation process. Once that has been agreed, all staff involved in a patient’s transfer of care should work together to make sure that this information is effectively communicated across all care interfaces. Involving the patient in this process will lead to further improvements to the accuracy and completeness of information.
How does this relate to other publications or evidence?
In October 2009 the Care Quality Commission (CQC) produced its review ‘Managing patients’ medicines after discharge’3 which shows how, to prevent harm to patients from medicines, the NHS needs to improve the sharing of vital information when people move between services. In this review the CQC makes several recommendations for organisations to ensure that care becomes safer for patients.
The CQC review supports the recommendations from the NPSA and NICE in December 2007 ‘Technical patient safety solutions for medicines reconciliation on admission of adults to hospital’4 on the need for healthcare organisations to put policies in place to support the process of medicines reconciliation.
In addition to these recommendations, the NPC 2008 guide – Medicines Reconciliation: A Guide to Implementation, gives hints and tips on the practical aspects of the medicines reconciliation process. The guide suggests minimum datasets needed to enable medicines reconciliation to take place; discusses the reliability of information sources that are available to healthcare professionals trying to reconcile lists of medicines; and proposes key skills that are needed to carry out the reconciliation process.
There is an NPC section dedicated to Medicines Reconciliation which includes a range of resources that can help busy healthcare professionals to learn about the topic in small, bite-sized chunks. The NPC section, Improving safety & managing risk, also provides information, tools and resources which can support effective medicines reconciliation.

Yes, I know this should be one of the first things you do but my problem has been that I’ve been looking for a place to serve my emails. Running an email server is so much trouble (and a big problem if hacked) that I’ve been putting it off. I’m not running it on Zoho, which is free and it was quite easy to just access it through Gmail so I have nothing to learn. It was pretty easy to set up too.
So now I might send out an email or two to my rapidly growing mailing list since I’ve also changed to a plugin that will let people unsubscribe to any emails. I’m not intending on spamming anyone but a gentle reminder that I’m still hacking away at this motion simulator could be nice. | <urn:uuid:48c70a48-1414-43f5-9b20-b1e508596251> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.feelthree.com/2014/09/email-setup/ | 2020-09-24T05:05:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971164 | 168 |
Problem With Splitting Arborvitae
Arborvitae (Thuja spp.) make attractive landscape trees and hedges, but they can bend and split under heavy snow and ice. These columnar or globe-shaped evergreen trees and shrubs grow in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 11, depending on the variety. They generally prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil and full sun, but tolerate partial shade. You can prevent and in some cases repair snow damage in arborvitae.
Causes of Splitting Arborvitae
When snow accumulates on an arborvitae, the branches can bend and pull away from the center of the plant. This damage occurs in many arborvitae varieties, such as 15-foot-tall and 4-foot-wide “Emerald Green” (Thuja occidentalis “Emerald Green”), which grows in USDA zones 3 through 7, and 15-foot-tall and 2-foot-wide “Degroot’s Spire” (Thuja occidentalis “Degroots Spire”), which is hardy in USDA zones 2 through 8. After heavy snowfall, damaged branches can break and fall, and cause stems to split.
Repairing Snow-Damaged Arborvitae
You can use a broom to brush snow from arborvitae branches with an upward sweeping motion. When new growth begins in the spring, prune broken and dead branches to 1/4 inch above a live bud, or to the nearest live branch collar. Do not remove live branches that are green under the bark layer. To avoid spreading disease, soak the pruning tool in full-strength household disinfectant for five minutes and air dry before pruning the next tree; disinfect between cuts if a history of disease exists. You can tie bent branches back in place with rope so that they will resume normal growth. It is important to remove the rope after two years so that the tree does not grow around the rope and develop girdling, which can kill the tree. You may have to hire a tree care professional to remove severely split arborvitae, which can have root balls that are 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep.

Preventing Snow Damage
To prevent snow damage and splitting, you can wrap or tie your arborvitae branches to keep the top branches together during the winter. Before the first snow, wrap the tree in burlap, or tie the branches together with rope or bungee cords, as recommended by Michigan State University Extension. When the chance of snow is gone, remove the burlap or rope. To prevent damage to trees from melting and sliding snow and ice, plant arborvitaes away from roof overhangs.
Some types of arborvitae resist breakage and splitting from heavy snow accumulation, notes Olbrich Botanical Gardens. For example, “Hetz Wintergreen” (Thuja occidentalis “Wintergreen”) grows up to 25 feet high and 6 feet wide, and thrives in USDA zones 4 through 9. Hardy in USDA zones 3 through 7 “Siena Sunset” is a compact variety that grows up to 2 feet high and 2 1/2 feet wide. Besides resisting snow damage, “Siena Sunset” also resists deer feeding, which is another winter stress. Another split-resistant species is large, pyramid-shaped western or giant arborvitae (Thuja plicata), which grows up to 70 feet high and 25 feet wide and is hardy in USDA zones 6 through 8.

Angular / Angular basics
How do I create a service as a singleton in Angular?
We can create a service as singleton in Angular in 2 ways:
Declare that the service should be provided in the application root. This is done by setting
providedInto root on the service's @Injectable decorator as shown below. This is the preferred way to create a singleton service starting Angular 6.
- Include the service in the AppModule or in a module that is only imported by the AppModule.

I think I've sussed out why I'm getting so into movies.
They make me feel emotions.
I think I'm a bit of a cold fish - I find it hard to properly feel emotions. I'm not sure if I was born that way or if it's a result of my experience with the WTS. If the former then the WTS has certainly exacerbated matters. Just about the only thing that gets me emotional outside of film is political stuff - hopeless responses to terrorism, denying free speech, etc.
But films really make me feel things in ways that novels do not.
David Lynch's The Elephant Man (1980) made me cry. And during that scene where Michael Elphick's character forces a girl to kiss John Merrick before pouring gin onto his face, well, I could feel myself getting angry. I couldn't watch the whole scene - I literally had to walk away from the screen at one point.
Then there's Wes Craven's The Hills Have Eyes (1977). The scene where Pluto and Mars steal the baby felt like someone had just hit my funny-bone. That was another difficult scene to watch in full.
From Feb to Oct this year I volunteered at Cancer Research UK. This is a charity shop that sells cheap clothes, shoes and dvds, etc.
I saw The Exorcist on the shelf for £1 so I bought it. And it was pretty scary - I had to remind myself that it's only a film. I think it was because I come from a JW background (beware of the deemins, etc.). But it's a great film ... well directed, shot and acted.
So thank you David Lynch, Wes Craven, David Cronenberg, John Carpenter, Stanley Kubrick and many others for making such powerful films. | <urn:uuid:715d41a9-94eb-4153-95e9-b8c18286ecea> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/5169668455137280/why-like-movies | 2020-09-24T04:18:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.975408 | 369 |
“… shall Descend from Heaven with a shout.”
“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
If history, true history, (not political rhetoric or “indoctrination for a cause” or social manipulation) teaches us anything it is that after thousands of years of his existence on the earth, man is as sinful and corrupt now as he ever was. This should come as no surprise to anyone because from the fall of Adam man’s attempt to establish his rule and dominance over the world around him on his on terms has been a colossal failure, year after year century after century, from one millennium to the next.
Undoubtedly, God has given man the knowledge and tools for creating things that improve the quality of our lives, and the means of maintaining and advancing his knowledge and understanding of himself and myriad volumes of information about creation, though some of the greatest minds still acknowledge that so little is known of all creation. Only a few have been willing to humble themselves under God’s authority and power to gain the true wisdom that comes from above that brings peace and life more abundantly. Those who have, however, have enjoyed unparalleled prosperity and furthered the cause of the Kingdom of God worldwide. Among those, America has been particularly blessed and favored among nations for a few hundred years, holding to her motto as “…one nation under God…”
Now it seems we stand on the brink of the destruction of the very foundations of truth on which this nation was founded. There are those in government, education, and the information/news and entertainment media who have been bewitched and brought under the control of the insidious demonic attempts of the devil to undermine and remove all connection to God and the truth of His Word from our national discourse in both public and private ways of life. By misrepresentations, lies, cunning deceptions, indoctrination of the young, and promoting false claims of the virtues of what was and is in the eyes of God sin, they have succeeded, at least for the moment, in convincing many young people in particular that long established immutable truths of life are suddenly irrelevant or “toxic” to their good mental health and well being.
No longer are they content to hide and slip their death motivated agenda into the public discourse stealthily, now they boldly declare that the killing of the innocent, both in the womb and out is a right to be applauded and celebrated, they boast that it is a good thing to take from the one who through diligent labor and wise preservation and investment have gain a degree of wealth, that the fruit of their labors must be given to those who by sloth, waste and unwillingness to work have come to poverty. They unashamedly dismiss the Bible and the Christian faith as archaic, even barbaric, labeling those who live and abide by its principles as bigots, phobic, haters and the like as their false accusations go on.
We hear daily what seems to be a relentless drumbeat of criticism of our nation’s founding fathers and the principles on which they crafted our documents of government. It is no coincidence that those documents are replete with references to God our Creator and quotations specifically from the Scriptures of the Judeo/Christian faith that has at its center the person of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. They knew an understood that apart from God they could do northing and unless the Lord builds the house they labor in vain who build it. [Psalm 127:1]
Not withstanding what men may say, the Word of God will stand forever and those who trust Him for their salvation will be saved from the judgment to come on the earth for sin.
Despite the efforts of those to deny our God and to tear away at the fabric of our union as a nation of people who believe in God and are pleased to live by His Word, God will not be mocked nor will He quickly destroy them from the face of earth, because the same Jesus who died to save us also died to save them. They are doing what they do because they don’t know the truth or have refused to accept it. So while God is being patient wit them we must also, motivated by love, pray for them and be patient with them, being always ready to teach in an attitude of gentleness and meekness.
“And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.” 2 Timothy 2:24-26
But we must also holdfast to the truth of God’s Word and not be swayed or intimidated into abandoning our faith. God is still the same as He was when those Words were first written. And the promise of Jesus’ coming is still sure and unchanged. He will return in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye and we will all be changed to be like Him. In the meantime we have work to do.
“Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.” Titus 1:9
“Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray Godyour whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will doit.” 1Thessalonians 5:14-24 | <urn:uuid:eb651aa1-4cff-4e91-8093-75c5d5c8c54a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.josephbiasministries.org/post/2019/02/09/-shall-descend-from-heaven-with-a-shout | 2020-09-24T05:59:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.969923 | 1,368 |
Scott catalog cover designs revealed
By Jay Bigalke
Another catalog season is upon us. We continue the journey of the 151-year history of the Scott catalogs, with the 2020 volumes being the 176th edition of the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue, and this year we introduce a new look for the covers of each volume.
Highlighted on the covers are single stamps from a stamp-issuing entity found in that volume. Each stamp is set with a light shadow on a white background with red and gray typography used for the text.
The cover of Vol. 1A shows the Australia $1 Trans-Australian Railway Travel Posters stamp (Scott 4654) issued in 2017. The cover of Vol. 1B shows the 1938 Bahamas 4¢ Sea Garden King George VI stamp (106). The 2020 Vols. 1A and 1B will be published in early April.
The Vol. 2A cover shows the 2017 China 6-yuan Dinosaurs souvenir sheet of one (Scott 4444a), and the cover of Vol. 2B features the France 1936 50-franc Monoplane Over Paris airmail stamp (C15). Vols. 2A and 2B will be published in May.
The cover of Vol. 3A shows the Germany 1952 10-pfennig Thurn and Taxis Postilion stamp (Scott 692) and the cover of Vol. 3B pictures Italy's 2014 70¢ David by Michelangelo stamp (3224). Vols. 3A and 3B will be published in June.
The cover of Vol. 4A shows the 2014 Japan 80-yen Mount Fuji with Cherry Blossoms stamp from a set of five stamps (Scott 3645b) and the cover of Vol. 4B shows the 1955 Monaco 50-franc USS Nautilus and Verne stamp (349). Vols. 4A and 4B will be published in July.
The two stamps shown for Vols. 5A and 5B appear to be battling each other. That was unintentional but a fun dynamic. The Vol. 5A cover shows the 1969 New Zealand 2½¢+1¢ Boys Playing Cricket stamp (Scott B77) and the Vol. 5B cover features the 1927 Portugal 2-centimo Goncalo Mendes da Maia stamp (422). Vols. 5A and 5B will be published in August.
For the Vol. 6A cover, Sweden’s 2016 50-kroner White-tailed Eagle stamp (Scott 2767) is shown. The cover of Vol. 6B features the 2016 Uruguay $20 Poster for 1915-16 Summer Festival and Carnival stamp (2543). Vols. 6A and 6B will be published in September.
The cover design for the 2020 Scott Specialized Catalog of United States Stamps and Covers highlights the iconic 1969 10¢ First Man on the Moon airmail stamp (Scott C76). The Scott U.S. Specialized catalog will go on sale in early October.
The U.S. 1969 6¢ Professional Baseball stamp (Scott 1381) is pictured on the cover of the 2020 Scott United States Pocket Stamp Catalogue that will be published in November.
The cover of the 2020 Scott Classic Specialized Catalogue of Stamps and Covers 1840-1940 will be announced later this spring.

There’s a longstanding belief in the field of psychology that limiting the time subjects have to respond to questions will result in more honest answers. Certainly, many of us who have participated in personality tests have heard the directive to “say the first thing that comes to mind.” However, a recent study conducted by researchers at UC Santa Barbara demonstrates that the quickest answer — especially if it is not the most socially desirable — still may not be the most truthful one.
“One of the oldest methods we have in psychology — literally more than a hundred years old — is the method of asking people to answer quickly and without thinking,” said John Protzko, a cognitive scientist in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences and the lead author of a paper that appears in Psychological Science. “You could see this in the early 1900s with people like Carl Jung advocating this method for therapeutic insight.”
The concept behind the method, Protzko explained, is that by asking for a quick response, people — psychologists in particular — might be able to bypass the part of the mind that could intervene and alter that response.
“The idea has always been that we have a divided mind — an intuitive, animalistic type and a more rational type,” he said. “And the more rational type is assumed to always be constraining the lower order mind. If you ask people to answer quickly and without thinking, its supposed to gives you sort of a secret access to that lower order mind.”
To test this assumption, Protzko and fellow psychologists Jonathan Schooler and Claire Zedelius devised a test of 10 simple yes-or-no questions — a Social Desirability questionnaire. Respondents were then asked to take fewer than 11 seconds, or alternatively, more than 11 seconds to answer each question, to gauge whether their answers would differ with the time spent answering them.
Curious about the test? You can take the short version, below. Answer quickly and without thinking.
True or False:
- I have never intensely disliked anyone
- I sometimes feel resentful when I don’t get my way
- No matter who I’m talking to, I’m always a good listener
- There have been occasions when I took advantage of someone
- I’m always willing to admit it when I make a mistake
- I sometimes try to get even, rather than forgive and forget
- There have been occasions when I felt like smashing things
- There have been times when I was quite jealous of the good fortune of others
- I have never felt that I was punished without cause
- I have never deliberately said something that hurt someone’s feelings
If you answered “true” to questions 1, 3, 5, 9, or 10 you’re probably lying. If you answered “false” to questions 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, you’re probably lying. That’s because the questions — which were presented one by one in random order, and the answers to which were documented by the researchers — were designed to force the respondent to consider what their social desirability would be as a result of their responses. The honest answers — and who among us have never disliked anyone or have always been good listeners? — tend to portray respondents in a more negative light.
If you lied, well, you’re in good company.
“What we found is that people just lie,” Protzko said. According to the study, the fast-answering group was more likely to lie, while the slow answerers and the ones who were not given any time constraints (fast or slow) were less likely to do so. Asking people to answer quickly, the study said, causes them to give more socially desirable responses, showing that asking people to respond quickly and without thinking does not always yield the most honest response.
Are people giving socially desirable responses under time pressure because they think they’re good people, deep down inside? That was the subject of the subsequent experiment conducted by Protzko and colleagues.
“People have what’s called a ‘good-true-self’ bias,” he said. To extents that vary with the individuals, people generally believe that people have “true selves,” and that these selves are essentially good, he explained.
The team tested the degree of respondents’ good-true-self biases through a social judgment task where they were asked to to assess fictional individuals in situations where they behaved uncharacteristically and how true they were to “the deepest, most essential aspects” of their being. The higher positive true-self judgment scores indicated greater good-true-self bias.
If indeed time pressure caused people to align with their good true selves, according to the study, then those who scored lower on the good-true-self bias scale (i.e., they thought people were more a mix of good and bad qualities) should be less affected by the time pressure to respond in a socially desirable manner.
However, the scientists found that when asked to respond to the Social Desirability questionnaire under time pressure, those who saw the true self as bad were more likely to respond in a socially desirable manner. Socially desirable answers from people on the high end of the good-true-self scale were more likely to happen if they were given more time to deliberate.
“When you demand an answer very quickly, people — even if they don’t think that people are good at heart — will still lie to you,” Protzko said. “They’ll still give you the answer they think you want to hear.” It could be that under time pressure, people default not to their core goodness, but their desire to appear virtuous, even if it means misrepresenting themselves, because of learned and internalized behaviors, and perhaps the likelihood that in the long run, it is socially advantageous to appear virtuous.
The results of this study indicate that the seemingly tried-and-true method of demanding quick answers may not always be the way for psychologists to access their patients’ inner selves or a suppressed mind, Protzko said.
“It doesn’t call into question what else has been shown using this method of ‘answer quickly’,” he said. The study is, rather, a test of the assumptions of methods used in psychological thought.
“A lot of the time we have these assumptions, and you can cite Sigmund Freud or Wilhelm Wundt and hundred-year-old research to back you up and it seems that there’s this authority behind it.” Protzko said. “but sometimes we’re not entirely sure what is actually happening inside the mind when we use these methods.” | <urn:uuid:03821de2-e347-43dd-82ea-50fa4002d203> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.news.ucsb.edu/2019/019628/best-face-forward | 2020-09-24T05:11:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400213454.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924034208-20200924064208-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.969969 | 1,426 |

First announced earlier this year, the Saito Style variant of Sentinel's upcoming 4-inch Rockman.EXE figure has finally been revealed. It's currently planned as a Gentinel Web Store exclusive requiring pre-order reservations (starting tomorrow) to purchase. With the imposition of regional exclusivity -- not to mention a limited production run -- you better believe this one will be hard to nab!
UPDATE: Hold the phone! Pre-orders are live and available in ENGLISH with international shipping! Act fast!

First 4 Figures has announced via Facebook that they will begin accepting pre-orders for their latest Mega Man statue, Mega Man riding Item #2, sometime today. Pre-orders were slated to go live at 11am EST but that's clearly not the case as of this writing. Rest assured, though, it's coming.
In the meantime you can check out a slew of images at First 4 Figures' website. A regular ($229.99 US) and an exclusive ($269.99 US) version will be up for grabs, the latter featuring exclusive LED lights.

As promised, here's some additional gameplay from the Rockman X3 prototype currently in our possession. To reiterate, we're going to dump it as soon as we nab some quality hardware. Unlike the retail version, the prototype's Cx4 chip is extremely finicky. Once we solve that, we're good to go.
Today's footage features early versions Tunnel Rhino (S. Masaider) and Volt Catfish (E. Namazuros) stages. Hit the jump below or read the video description for the rundown of differences.

Today's Mega Man animated series reveal brought with it many questions. Chief among those, "who or what the hell is Mega Mini?" Wonder no longer because IGN has an exclusive first look at Mega Man's smallest companion yet.
No further details were provided, but from the looks of it Mega Mini... resides inside Mega Man's helmet? Yeah, it's a bit of a head scratcher. I know I'm not the only one to immediately think of Soundwave, if that's what Man of Action are going for. Color me curious.
On a related note, IGN's report heavily implies Rush will appear on the show. You'll be comforted to know Mega Mini and Rush are suggested to be two separate characters.
Head to IGN for the full image at IGN.
Here's your new Mega Man, aka "Aki Light."
Deadline reports: "Aimed at kids 6 to 9, as well as parents who grew up playing the video games, the series will follow Mega Man’s newly-introduced alter-ego, Aki Light, a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot who, when activated, re-forms into a suit of impenetrable armor. Other characters from the games and new characters, including Mega Mini, will also be featured."
So there you have it: Mega Man's going to school under an alter ego. Looks like those early notes stuck!
UPDATE: Capcom Unity offers even more plot details:
The new animated Mega Man series will follow Aki Light – a normal, upbeat, and above all optimistic young school-aged robot living in Silicon City. He soon learns that deep within his programming are secret protocols that allow him to transform – giving him nanocore armor, a Mega Buster, and the iconic helmet to turn him into a superhero – Mega Man!
Promising exciting new technologies and new robots, the series will follow the adventures and trials of Aki Light – a.k.a. Mega Man – as he faces off against threats to Silicon City, while trying to keep his superhero identity a secret and maintain a normal robot schoolkid life.
UPDATE: IGN has revealed "Mega Mini" - a small companion who emerges from Mega Man's helmet.
The new animated series is currently slated to air sometime in 2017 to coincide with the franchise's 30th anniversary. More details as it comes!

Outed in this month's Hobby Japan magazine, Bandai are purportedly developing a 12cm Figuarts ZERO Rockman figure. This is high-detailed, collectable figure with no articulation (much like the Sigma Figuarts ZERO from a couple years ago). The figure depicts classic Rock unleashing a charged shot mid slide.
More information and press images should be available soon. The above scan will have to suffice for now. Stay tuned!
Bad, cringey narration permeates the newest Mighty No. 9 trailer from publisher Deep Silver. Lines like "make the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night" will have you dialing the volume way down. It's hard to discern if they're going for a satirical 90's tone or if it's just that horrible.
In the trailer's defense they did cut decent footage. The visual aesthetic leaves much to be desired, but the gameplay looks solid enough. We'll know for sure on June 21st.
UPDATE: Even Inti Creates' president thinks it's bad.

The creative forces behind the new Mega Man animated series are coming to Comicpalooza next month. The Texas-based pop culture convention will play host to Man of Action's Duncan Rouleau, Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, and Steven T. Seagle from June 17 to the 19th.
Speaking with a Comicpalooza representative, I can confirm that there will be a Man of Action panel. A date was not specified, but the team will be speaking publicly within those three days. Yes; there WILL be Mega Man discussion. Comicpalooza could not say if the show will be "unveiled" for attendees, but there will be some Mega Man talk.
If you're in the neighborhood and would like to attend, head to the event's website for tickets, times and more information. I'll be keeping an ear to the ground for relevant updates.

Voice actress Yuko Mizutani passed away from breast cancer on Tuesday, May 17th at the age of 51.
Mizutani has a long record of roles across anime and video games, however, she is well-known to us for her role of Iris, Zero's pacifistic sweetheart, in Mega Man X4. Mizutani would later reprise the role in 2012's Project X Zone.
On behalf of the Mega Man community I would like to give her friends, family and fans my best wishes. Rest in peace.

A one Orengefox has graciously donated a debug version of Mega Man Battle Network 2 to Rockman Corner. The prototype represents the final retail version with one big difference: all the debug tools left are intact.
I'm still experimenting with it, but you can jump to any map or scene you want, view sprites and tiles, and fiddle around with various flags and parameters. Incidentally, this is the same debug version used to take screenshots for the game's NTSC/PAL instruction booklet.
It's our pleasure to publicly release this file to you for research and preservation purposes. You can find it by clicking on a certain green button. You know, like that one on the right side of the blog. Yeah, that guy.
Rockman Xover, 2012 (iOS/Android)
For those who still believe it was an April Fools joke, Capcom's latest financial earnings report once again confirmed the development of a new smartphone Mega Man game (or two) by March 2017.
Under the company's new "Mobile Content Strategies", Capcom intends to bolster profits by leveraging popular intellectual properties on mobile. Capcom states "For the Japanese market, this fiscal year we plan to strengthen development of games using Capcom IP and releasing at least 4 new titles, including "Mega Man," "Monster Hunter" and Sengoku BASARA."
Again, that's four mobile titles from three IPs. So between now and next March, we'll have at least one new Mega Man game. The "for the Japanese market" statement carries one of two connotations, from my understanding: the game(s) will be exclusive to the region, or we'll get them after FYE 2017. Either way, something's coming.

The Mega Man community has long entertained the notion of a grand gathering. Our biggest limitation, I think, has been location. From Canada to Australia, we're truly a global community. We've got a bit of a ways to go but "Mega G.A.M. Con" could be a step in the right direction.

By popular demand, Capcom announced that it will be producing an official, life-size Proto Man helmet. You can pre-order the helmet right now from the Capcom Store for $160 (regularly $200).
But wait, there's more! Proto Man helmets ordered from the Capcom store will include - wait for it - an "authentic Proto Man scarf to complete your Proto Man look." It's made of fabric and sports the Proto Man seal on one tail.
Hit up the link above and grab yours! Thanks for the tip, Jonbon!

Four delays later, Mighty No. 9 will launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U and PC in North America on June 21st, 2016. For everyone else, the game will arrive worldwide on June 24th.
In a written apology to fans, Keiji Inafune says "the release date we are announcing is set in stone and there will be no further delays for the game." In other words, Mighty No. 9 has (allegedly) gone gold.
Ah, but what of the portable versions? According to Inafune, the 3DS and PlayStation Vita ports will "follow at a later point." A release window - for all intents and purposes - was not provided.
So that's that. You can read Inafune's message in its entirety here.

An alarming bit of news for anyone considering picking up the original Project X Zone from the Nintendo 3DS eShop. According to various users, the game has vanished from the North American and European 3DS eShops. What's more, if you own the digital version and try to re-download it, a message stating “This software is currently unavailable” is displayed. That's not good.
Pending word from Bandai Namco or Nintendo, no one knows why it's been removed. I'm willing to bet it's license-related. Nevertheless we'll keep an ear to the ground for updates. For now, careful not to delete the game off your 3DS.
UPDATE: The re-download button doesn't appear on PXZ's eShop page but - BUT - you CAN redownload it from your list of “Redownloadable Software.”

What does a Teaching Assistant do?
A Teaching Assistant is an extremely important role in classrooms up and down the country (and the world, really). Considered instrumental to the success of a classroom and pupils’ potential, a well-qualified Teaching Assistant is a highly sought-after role. So much so, that throughout the past decade, the percentage of the school workforce that are Teaching Assistants has increased year-on-year to its current state at almost 1 in 3!
What are the Top Skills Teaching Assistants Need?
When it comes to the desired skills for a Teaching Assistant, most schools will naturally have a slightly different variation of what they deem beneficial to their classrooms and pupils.
We believe, however, that the following skills lay the foundation to becoming a successful Teaching Assistant and more-or-less won’t stray too far from a school’s requirements.
Probably the most important trait of all when it comes to working with children, patience is an absolute must-have if you are serious about becoming a Teaching Assistant. Every child is different and will learn at different paces and in different ways – it’ll be your job to understand that and guide them as best you can.
A key aspect of children learning and growing, particularly during Reception and Key Stage 1, is through physical, personal, social and emotional development. You will not only need to collaborate with students to build these skills but also work with teachers, support staff and even parents to maximise each student’s potential.
As a Teaching Assistant, you will of course have an inventive license to work with children how you see best – you are, after all, qualified in the field. Nevertheless, each teacher will have their certain methods of getting the best out of the children so you will need to be adaptable to a teacher’s requirements.
Not one that you’re likely to find in any job description, but by no means a lesser attribute than the others stated. Your mood will inevitably reflect onto students and showing an optimism towards work and learning can inspire those children to share the same passion with their own learning.
A Teaching Assistant must have excellent organisational skills as you’ll often be tasked by teachers to set up tasks and manage them with a group of children. Alongside this, you must ensure you have exceptional punctuality.
An obvious yet imperative skill to have when teaching children is the ability to treat each child and take each unique situation with sensitivity.
These are solely our opinion on some of the most valuable skills a Teaching Assistant must possess and remember, every school will require a different set of requirements! Do you think we’ve missed any out? Get in touch and let us know what you think!

In sartorial speak, summer/resort is a season that's most relatable to the tropical weather of India. At the recently concluded Lakmé Fashion Week, we were spoilt for choice with the breezy ensembles spotted on the runway. There were soft saris, sheer layers, slouchy festive wear—we are ready to welcome summer just looking at these.

— John Richardson – lawyer for "U.S. persons" abroad (@ExpatriationLaw) August 25, 2017
Well he won the lottery. Specifically he won the “Green Card” lottery. He and his wife came all the way from an Asian country to “Live The Dream” – specifically the dream of living in the United States of America.
He spoke English. His wife did not speak English. He believed in strict compliance in the law. His wife relied on him to ensure her compliance with the law.
As a Green Card holder he was vaguely aware that he could be deported if he were convicted of certain kinds of offenses. But, mainly he believed in compliance with the law for its own sake.
As a Green Card holder and as a U.S. resident he was subject to laws that were never explained to him. He didn’t realize that he was taxable on his WORLD income (including a small pension that he received from his country of citizenship).
In 2009 the “Offshore Jihad” began. He didn’t think of himself as having “offshore accounts”. After all, he was a just citizen of another country. Surely it could NOT be criminal to have a bank account in his country of origin. Did he have to report his small foreign pension to the IRS? That pension was in no way related to the United States of America? And then he learned about the alphabet soup of “reporting requirements” – Mr. FBAR, Uncle FATCA, etc. He began to learn what the “reporting requirements” were. But, the penalties (as least described) were certain. He could not believe the extent of the penalties.
It was at this moment that his “Oh My God” moment began. He was confused and mentally disorganized. At that moment, all of his life assumptions were reversed. Assumption 1: He had always believed that he was a good, moral “law abiding” person. How could it be that he was NOT in compliance with the law. He had no reason to believe that the reporting requirements would even exist. Welcome to the United States of America where any involvement with anything “foreign” makes you a presumptive criminal. Assumption 2: He had always believed that the United States was a “just nation”. How could the United States threaten to impose such penalties on a person in his situation?
Welcome to the United States of America where justice is NOT the norm. What’s a poor “Green Card” holder to do?
He was ill prepared to deal with the situation in which he found himself.
He strived to learn what he could. The IRS would not answer his questions – suggesting that he go to a “tax professional” The “tax professionals” gave him different, conflicting and contradictory answers.
His greatest frustration was that he could NOT completely understand what was expected of him – although he did understand the threat of penalties, penalties and more penalties.
He eventually decided that he had to move back to his home country. He did this NOT to escape U.S. taxation, but because:
He could not completely understand what was required of him to be U.S. tax complaint; and
He was worried that he would die and leave his wife in a situation where she would not know how to be U.S. tax compliant.
In order to prepare for leaving he:
entered the streamlined program (domestic version) and “back filed” for 3 years
stayed in America for two more years so that he could certify the “five years of tax compliance” when he handed in the I-407
even filed the “Sailing Permit” (The 1040C) that is required of ALL aliens (resident or nonresident) when they leave the United States
He in now trying to file his final return and 8854. Fortunately he will not be subject to the S. 877A Exit Tax. He is currently focusing on staying alive long enough to complete his U.S. tax filings. He feels that it is important that he NOT die and leave the U.S. tax compliance problem to his wife. His emotional state:
Like many he is living in a state of fear. I pointed out to him that he was a small insignificant person and that nobody in the U.S. Government cared about him. He thanked me for telling him that “nobody in the U.S. Government cared about him”. He said that it was the first time in his life that he felt good that nobody cared about him. Epilogue:
One more day. One more life ruined. One more person chased out of America because of the Internal Revenue Code.
His greatest wish is that he lives long enough to file Form 8854 to log him and his wife out of America.
Nobody, but nobody should move to America without reading the fine print!

Some of you may be interested in the “short letter” that I sent by regular mail to the “powers to be” in Washington who are working on “Tax Reform”.
A “Town Hall” interview with Speaker Ryan suggests that Tax Reform is going to happen.
Both U.S. corporations and U.S. citizens are “U.S. persons”. If the United States moves to “territorial taxation” for corporations then “territorial taxation” for individuals should follow.
The United States would be will advised to stop imposing U.S. taxation on the tax paying residents of other countries.
What follows is my “short letter”. A PDF copy of the letter is here: taxreform Continue reading →
As I write this post, my mind goes back to one of my very first posts about U.S. compliance issues. This post was called “What you should consider before contacting a lawyer“. Since that time I have written hundreds of post describing the problems faced by Americans abroad. More recently …
In Dewees 1, I explained the importance of the Canada U.S. tax treaty and how it provides “some protection” to Canadian citizens from U.S. tax debts.
In Dewees 2, I explained some of the characteristics of the OVDP program and how Mr. Dewees got caught in it.
In Dewees 3 (this post), I am suggesting some possible lessons that can be learned from the story of Donald Dewees. Ten thoughts on U.S. taxation, non-compliance, Americans Abroad and the U.S. taxation of Americans abroad Continue reading →
Introduction – The war against corporations and the shareholders of those corporations Corporations as entities that are separate from their shareholder/owners
As every law students knows, a corporation is a legal entity that is separate from its owner. As a legal entity that is separate from its owner, a corporation is capable of holding assets, carrying on a business and investing in a way that results in separation of the shareholder(s) from the business itself. It is a mistake to infer that the corporation’s status as a separate legal entity means that the corporation’s income will not be taxed to its shareholders. Corporations as legal instruments of tax deferral
When corporate tax rates are lower than individual tax rates, there is incentive for individuals to earn and invest through corporations rather than to earn and invest as individuals. In other words, in certain circumstances, corporations can be used to pay less taxes. Corporations as instruments of tax evasion
In many jurisdictions is it possible to create a Corporation and NOT disclose the identities of the beneficial owners. Because of this circumstance:
1. Corporations (as was made clear in the “Panama Papers Story”) can be used to hide income and assets for either legitimate or illegitimate reasons; and
2. Corporations can be used to avoid the attribution of income earned by the corporation to the shareholders. Corporations and the rise of @TaxHavenUSA Continue reading →

Shades of Larissa Waters … Oh My God! Think of it:
My sources in Australia tell me …
This time it’s the Deputy Prime Minister – http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-08-14/barnaby-joyce-is-a-new-zealand-citizen-nz-government-confirms/8804620 – and the first member of the lower house to be tainted by dual citizenship. This is significant. With the Senate they usually go to the next person on that party’s ticket from the last Senate election. With the House of Reps they have to have a by-election – and Turnbull’s government is hanging on by a single vote. So, if the High Court rules that Barnaby Joyce must vacate his seat, it could topple the government!
And I thought that Politics in Canada was dirty. And we all revel in the daily stench of the toxic partisanship in the USA. But, hey at least these two countries do NOT have constitutional provisions that (as they have been interpreted) allow other countries to interfere in who the elected representatives are! (We let them interfere in covert ways – think “From Russia With Love” ….)
But Australia. This really is unique. Think of it. Once a person is accused of being a dual citizen – AS DEFINED BY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER COUNTRY – then the person is disqualified from serving in the Senate or the Lower House. I had always thought of Australia as a sovereign country. Can it really be true that Australia allows eligibility for service in the Senate or the lower house to be determined by another country’s citizenship laws? Does it matter whether these “foreign laws” confer citizenship by force rather than citizenship by consent?
Think of the possibilities here. There have always been suggestions that “The USA via the CIA” had been (wonderful melody) instrumental in the dismissal of Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam. Why go to so much trouble? The way Australia is interpreting its own constitution, all a future U.S. Government would have to do is confer U.S. citizenship on the Prime Minister of Australia and he would be forced to resign. But this would be the intentional “weaponization of citizenship”. (But, the FATCA is that: the USA would NEVER use citizenship as a weapon now, would it?) Australia has already surrendered much of its sovereignty to the United States through a combination of the FATCA IGA and the “savings clause” in the Australia U.S. Tax Treaty. It’s worse than you think. The problem extends to the ongoing changes in the citizenship laws of other nations
What about the change in one country’s citizenship laws conferring citizenship on an Australian citizen without his/her knowing about it? For example, Canada has made significant amendments to its citizenship laws in 2009 and 2016. In both cases Canadian citizenship was conferred on people who did NOT have Canadian citizenship. One example is that prior to 1977, a person born abroad to a married couple where the father was NOT Canadian (say Australian) and the mother was Canadian would NOT have become Canadian by descent. In 2009 people in these circumstances were given Canadian citizenship. What if a person affected by this was in the Australian Senate in 2009 when the Canadian law was changed. Would that person be forced to resign? Can the citizenship of country A be forcibly imposed on a resident of country B who has NEITHER ACCEPTED NOR ACKNOWLEDGED THAT CITIZENSHIP?
In an earlier post I explained why the Canada Revenue Agency assisted the IRS in collecting a $133,000 U.S. dollar penalty on a Canadian resident. The bottom line was that he was presumably NOT a Canadian citizen and therefore did NOT have the benefits of the tax treaty. This post is to explain where the penalty came from in the first place.

On July 4, 2017, Americans living inside the USA celebrated the “4th of July” holiday – a day that Americans celebrate their independence and freedom.
On that same day, I had meetings with SEVEN American dual citizens, living outside the United States. This “Group of Seven” were in various stages of RENOUNCING their U.S. citizenship. Each of them was also a citizen and tax paying resident of another country. They varied widely in wealth, age, occupation, religion, and political orientation. Some of them have difficulty in affording the $2350 USD “renunciation fee” imposed by the U.S. Government. Some of the SEVEN identify as being American and some did NOT identify as being American. But each of them had one thing in common. They were renouncing their U.S. citizenship in order to gain the freedom that Americans have been taught to believe is their “birth right”.
On August 2, 2017 posts at the Isaac Brock Society and numerous other sources, reported that that there were 1759 expatriates reported in the second quarter report in the Federal Register. The number of people renouncing U.S. citizenship continues to grow.
Now on to the guest post by Jane Doe, which is a very articulate description of the reasons why people living outside the United States feel forced to renounce U.S. citizenship. John Richardson Continue reading →
The article referenced in the above tweet from Norton Rose, provides an introduction to Russia’s CFC (“Controlled Foreign Corporation”) rules. The Russian CFC rules include both:
an attribution of income for purposes of taxation; and
penalty laden reporting requirements.
There are presently huge incentives for Russian high net worth individuals to to break “tax residence” with Russia and find more favorable jurisdictions. It is a “perfect storm”. These incentives include:
• The “De-offshorisation” initiative of the Russian government, including introductions of CFC rules that came into force on January 2015
• The enforcement of pre-existing rules established by Russian Federal Law Nr. 173-FZ “On Currency Regulations and Currency Control” (CCL) by amending RF Administrative Offence Code (AOC) in February 2013 (Russian FBAR coupled with “Russian citizenship reporting“)
• The adoption of the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS) in May 2016 and what that means for those with “tax residency in Russia”

The reality of being a “DUAL” Canada U.S. tax filer is that you are a “DUEL” tax filer
“It’s not the taxes they take from you. It’s that the U.S. tax system leaves you with few opportunities for financial planning”.
I was recently asked “what exactly are the issues facing “Canada U.S. dual tax filers?” This is my attempt to condense this topic into a short answer. There are a number of “obvious issues facing U.S. citizens living in Canada.” There are a number of issues that are less obvious. Here goes …

The sun is shining, there’s a warm gentle breeze blowing and you’re itching to get out on the lake so bad you can taste it. Unfortunately, those impatient anticipations can often lead to delinquent boat service, along with careless and unsafe boat launches that are downright dangerous! But first and foremost, the Texas Parks and Wildlife requires 3 important steps to be taken prior to boat launch:
1. CLEAN…the boat, trailer, and gear. Remove any plants, animals, and foreign objects.
2. DRAIN…all water from the boat and gear, including the bilge, live-wells, motor and bait buckets – as microscopic Zebra Muscles are known to hide here.
3. DRY everything thoroughly before entering another body of water. If your boat was stored on a Zebra Muscle infested lake, professional decontamination using hot (104 degrees F), high-pressure water will be required.
A great way to avoid the unimaginable is to keep this ultimate boat launch checklist in your glove compartment. This easy-to-understand checklist is designed to assure boaters have a successful, safe boat launch each and every time.
1) Take a quick gander at the drain plug in the bottom of the boat to be sure it’s installed properly.
2) Give a last minute check to ensure adequate safety equipment, spare bulbs and batteries are on board.
3) Disconnect your trailer lights and all the tie downs – or ratchet straps – from your boat to the trailer.
4) Back the boat trailer down onto the ramp until the boat stern begins to float and sufficient water is able to cool the engine.
5) Engage the parking brake in your vehicle and place it into parking gear.
6) Lower the drive unit on sterndrive or outboard motors.
7) Launching small boats – from the inside of the boat, carefully disconnect the winch hook from the bow. Exercise caution to make sure the winch handle does not spin wildly out of control. Then allow the boat to slowly float off the trailer.
Launching large boats – For large boats it’s best to launch with a handler or spotter. The handler/spotter can release the winch and properly guide you into the water and off the trailer.
8) Secure your boat with bow and stern lines
9) Carefully drive your vehicle and trailer to a designated parking area, remove valuables and lock your vehicle and trailer coupler to secure it against theft or damage.
10) On large boats – with exception of overboard waste -open the sea cocks, taking care to close them if you leave the boat.
11) Begin your pre-start system checks:
Check oil and fuel fluid levels
Check engine and bilge for leaks, cracks and loose connections
Check battery connections and electronics including radio function
Clean out raw water intake strainer prior to engine start
Test function of automatic and manually operated bilge pumps
Run the bilge blower for a minimum of 5 minutes prior to engine start
☞ Northshore Marina members receive an additional 10% off already the lowest gas prices on Lake Travis! ☜
12) Place throttle in proper position
13) Ensure shifter is in a neutral position
14) Start engine and monitor:
Operation of lighting
15) Monitor the proper function of the following systems before leaving:
Leakage in raw water strainers and hoses
Engine cooling water is flowing
Water is pumping through exhaust sufficiently
Sea-cocks, through-hulls and intakes are obstruction and debris free
If you carefully checked your boat step by step with this checklist, your boat is finally ready to be launched!
Before leaving the Marina, stock up on all your boating needs and refreshments at the Northshore Marina Ship Store. | <urn:uuid:5e7c138b-5878-4f23-ae45-bb0dbb1a49f2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://northshoremarinahollows.com/boat-storage-maintenance/ultimate-boat-launch-checklist/ | 2020-09-25T13:34:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400226381.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925115553-20200925145553-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.911963 | 794 |

In getting the victory, Scott finishes out a 2014 that saw his reputation tarnished to a degree by a controversial first round knockout at the hands of Deontay Wilder back in March.
The 34-year-old boxer can now move into 2015 as one of the few American heavyweights with an upward career trajectory.
Meanwhile, the limited but earnest 35-year-old Leapai limps out of 2014 with an 0-2 record and the bad buzz accompanying one-sided loses to both Wladimir Klitschko and now Malik Scott.
Leapai’s skills never suggested much more than journeyman status with the plus of a puncher’s chance and that seems where his career will settle in coming months and years. Brawls with countryman Lucas Browne and New Zealand’s Joseph Parker hold promise for exciting bouts ahead in the former truck driver’s immediate future. | <urn:uuid:088539f6-633a-4bee-86a9-ff1e6321afda> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://theboxingtribune.com/2014/10/31/malik-scott-dominates-alex-leapai-over-ten-rounds/ | 2020-09-25T14:23:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400226381.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925115553-20200925145553-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.947551 | 272 |

University of Notre Dame
February 3, 2011
Diane Parr Walker, deputy university librarian at the University of Virginia, has been named university librarian at the University of Notre Dame, Provost Thomas G. Burish announced. Walker’s appointment is effective July 25.
“Responding to the many demands and challenges of supporting our vision of being the pre-eminent Catholic research university will require a forward-looking University library system that is prepared to meet the future research, scholarship and teaching needs of faculty and students,” Burish said. “Diane Walker is a superb administrator who has the experience, vision and leadership skills to transform the Hesburgh Libraries into a model research library of the 21st century. She is a proven innovator who understands how to manage the complex challenges imposed by rapidly changing technology and the demands of traditional scholarship. We are delighted to have Diane direct our efforts to ensure that we utilize our information resources and talent in a manner that best serves our academic mission.”
Burish added: “I am grateful to Assistant Provost Susan Ohmer for her skillful and dedicated service as interim director of libraries, as well as for the hard work of the search committee that identified, recruited and evaluated candidates for the position.” A member of the University of Virginia library staff for 26 years, Walker has served in her current position since 2003. | <urn:uuid:58de3f82-9f50-440d-8dcf-dadb3f76dd61> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.academicjobs.net/newlyHired-723-Diane_Parr_Walker_named_university_librarian_at_Notre_Dame.html | 2020-09-25T13:42:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400226381.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925115553-20200925145553-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.960106 | 298 |

De nieuwe versie van Clash of Clans is zojuist gelanceerd en de Helden zijn nu nog sterker geworden! De Barbarenkoning krijgt het talent IJzeren Vuist en de Boogschutterskoningin krijgt het talent Koninklijke Mantel.
Hieronder staat de volledige lijst met veranderingen. Voor nu even in het Engels, Nederlandse versie volgt…
All hail new Hero abilities!
✔ Both Heroes have acquired special abilities that can be activated once per battle, after they have been deployed.
✔ Iron Fist: The Barbarian King and nearby Barbarians become enraged for a short time, moving faster and dealing more damage (does not stack with the Rage Spell).
✔ Royal Cloak: The Archer Queen hides from and becomes invisible to all enemy defenses for a short time.
✔ Both Hero abilities will instantly call in a group of Barbarians or Archers to reinforce their King or Queen.
✔ Hero abilities unlock for free at Hero level 5 and improve in strength every additional 5 Hero levels!
Flyers, freezers and brand new boosts
✔ Level 6 Minions are here to wreak havoc on enemy bases!
✔ Level 5 Freeze Spell leaves defenses on ice for longer than ever before.
✔ Get your Heroes back into battle faster by boosting their recovery 4x while sleeping.
✔ Boost cost and duration of Barracks and Spell Factory now reduced from 4 hours/20 gems to 2 hours/10 gems.
Why? Many of you told us that the 4 hour Barracks/Spell Factory Boost was too long and you felt obliged to keep raiding for the entire duration or risk losing out. We didn’t like you having to make this choice, so, voilà!
Clan Co-leaders take charge
✔ Clan Co-leaders can now be appointed by the Clan Leader or other Clan Co-leaders.
✔ Clan Co-leaders have all the privileges of Clan Leaders, except for the ability to demote or kick other Co-leaders.
✔ Clan Elders are now less powerful to prevent abuse, no longer able to promote or demote and only able to kick normal members.
Why? We wanted to give you more options for running your Clans. We also wanted to prevent Clans from falling into disrepair when the Leader goes AWOL. Ultimately, though, we want Clans to be run your way – so we aren’t limiting how many Co-leaders there can be, it is entirely up to you. With great power comes great responsibility.
✔ New plant growth is being found with more gems inside than ever before!
Why? Because we care
✔ Mysterious boxes packed with gems are being reported all throughout the realm. Keep an eye out for them!
Why? See above ˄ ˄
✔ Chat is now available even when away from your village, such as when visiting and watching replays
✔ Army Camps, the Spell Factory and Clan Castle now display used capacity next to their name when they are selected.
✔ Friends List has been moved to the Leaderboard menu, on the last tab, replacing the Search Clans tab (Search Clans is still available from the Clan Castle menu).
✔ Rage Spell info now correctly indicates damage percentage increase (e.g. 30% instead of 130%).
Why? We’re sticklers for accuracy and this has been incorrect for too long! PLEASE NOTE, this change does not make the Rage Spell any more or less powerful, it is purely a wording alteration.
✔ Obstacles can now be cleared in edit mode. (Yay!)
✔ Decreased the upgrade cost and time of Freeze Spell levels 3 and 4.
Why? With the addition of Freeze Spell level 5, we wanted to rebalance levels 3 and 4 to smooth out the upgrade curve.
✔ Decreased Rage Spell level 5 damage bonus from 80% to 70%.
Why? We want all max level Spells to be viable options and currently the level 5 Rage Spell is used in almost every single battle by high trophy players – therefore is wasn’t optional. By tweaking it to make it less of a mandatory choice, we’re hoping to see more diversity in the Spells you bring to battle!
✔ Increased Hog Rider training cost by about 30% on all levels.
Why? It has been too easy to repeatedly build a full Hog Rider army and devastate TH9 and TH10 villages that don’t yet have Inferno Towers. We didn’t want to make them any less powerful, but rather make it a more considered army choice.
✔ Increased Valkyrie hitpoints by about 20% on all levels.
Why? The Valkyrie hasn’t been seeing much action on the battlefield – she needed beefing up!!
✔ Increased Pekka hitpoints from 3400 to 3500 on level 3 and from 3800 to 4000 on level 4.
Why? Considering how much it costs to upgrade the P.E.K.K.A to level 3 and 4, we felt like a few more hitpoints were required to help balance and justify the upgrade.
