Massive new garden towns plan for 43,000 homes should be abandoned, campaigners urge
A vision to build three huge garden towns totalling 43,000 homes in north Essex should be abandoned in favour of smaller settlements nearer to existing population centres, it has been urged.
A planning inspector is currently examining plans for the three new garden communities near Colchester, Tendring and Braintree which have been proposed as part of the Shared Strategic Local Plan for North Essex.
Colchester, Braintree and Tendring councils say they "will be sustainable and attractive places to live, work and visit" and pledge they will be "infrastructure-led", with schools, GP surgeries and jobs available as the towns grow.
Built over 40 to 50 years, the councils believe it is better than "continually adding housing developments to our urban areas without the necessary infrastructure", which they believe "detrimentally impacts our residents".
But the vision has been criticised by opponents concerned at the effect large, sprawling new settlements would have.
And now Michael Hand, planning advisor for Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) Essex, believes recent developments which reportedly show less of a need for housing than first thought should cast doubt on the scheme.
You may also want to watch:
He also said a report by planning consultants Lichfield provides "sober reading" on the "pitfalls associated with such large-scale development projects - in particular, the long time it takes to begin delivering".
Mr Hand claimed: "The underlying impression remains that the proposed garden communities in north Essex appear to be an attempt to allocate land based on availability rather than considering sustainable, deliverable development.
"CPRE has always suggested that the extent of housing built on greenfield sites in the open countryside should be kept to a minimum and that alternative strategies based on the 'brownfield first' principle, with some hierarchical growth (including smaller settlements), along with well-planned and deliverable sustainable urban extensions of modest scale, should be the preferred mix.
"Growth should be directed towards existing key settlements, particularly those that are best placed to exploit the potential for new and improved infrastructure and those that enable greater use of public transport.
"Given that housing quotas up to 2033 have been met with built, approved and allocated sites, there is absolutely no requirement for these three new towns.
"If local authorities want to deliver housing fast, they need to concentrate on smaller garden villages in the right locations and linked to existing centres.
"They should abandon large standalone new towns before further money is wasted on projects that will never happen without disproportionate subsidy."

Auto Works and returned home to Seattle, WA and developed a leak. The leak was not necessarily related to the transmission replacement that E.S. did (leak was from Transfer Case). But customer was adamant that the leak was not there before. Our transmission specialist confirmed that the leak was probably co-incidental and not related to the superb workmanship performed at Everett Street Auto Works. But the customer was upset, so the owner made the decision to just have us take care of her and fix it - costing E.S. Auto over $1,300! That is the sign of truly top notch shop that values their customers and their reputation. On behalf of Village Transmission of Edmonds, WA, and our mutual customer - Thank you Cole and Everett Street Auto Works!

Remember those times when your grandmother or mother would oil you as a baby and later would do the same thing to your siblings. It was quite fun to hold them then as the oil smelt so good. Well, oiling your body should have been continued even after you grew up. Considered as a traditional remedy, oiling or massaging your body is a practice that should be encouraged even now. Along with oiling your body, many people believe that oiling the navel helps in curing many problems. According to Ayurveda, the navel is a strong button that holds the key to the proper operation of several bodily functions. That’s why you should pay more attention to your belly button! Oiling the navel is one such way of caring for it. You can either use natural oils or essential oils with the carrier oils.
If you are still reluctant in using this magnificent technique, then here are some benefits that will help you in changing your mind.
Moisturizes Your Skin – Known as natural moisturizers for the skin, oils are amazing and they work really well on areas that are usually forgotten, like the belly button and the stomach. It is useful in the winter when your skin becomes dry. Coconuts and olive oils are some good options as they have emollient effects. Just add a few drops on your stomach and lather it allover your body, use it especially after a shower or bath.
Removing Dirt – It is quite normal that you forget to clean your belly button when showering, the dirt that you clean from the upper half of your body gets accumulated in your navel, making it an area that needs some special cleaning. You can use a cotton swab and light oils such as grape-seed, safflower or jojoba oils. These oils softens the dirt accumulated and easily removes with a help of a cotton swab. Remember to be gentle as you don’t want to injure yourself there!
Cures Infection – Since the belly button is prone to get dirty, it is the perfect abode for germs and bacteria to grow. Thus giving you more reasons to have infections as your belly button remains moist for a considerable period. You can also get infections in that area especially if you get injured there. It is better to use oils such as mustard, coconut, and tea tree as it can ward off these infections with ease. These three oils contains antibacterial and anti-fungal properties and it is recommended to apply either one of them twice a day until the infection is cured.
Relieving Menstrual Pain – It is known that period pain is one of the worst forms of pain that can disrupt your daily schedule and make you unable to do anything else apart from taking rest. You can cure this problem with the right use of oils on your belly button. Essential oils such as clary sage, peppermint, cypress, and ginger have pain relieving properties and those must be massaged around the tummy to heal those cramps.
Cures Stomach Aches – If you suffer from stomach pain and do not want to get the help from medication, then you can try by applying oil to your belly button for some relief. This is suitable for pains caused by common stomach ailments such as food poisoning, indigestion, and diarrhea. The best options for essential oils are ginger and peppermint and use them with a carrier oil such as almond or olive oil.
Makes You Fertile – It is known that your belly button is directly related to your fertility and also connects your baby to you when you are expecting. Massage this spot with the oils that will boost your fertility, irrespective of your gender. Use carrier oils with essential oils such as juniper, damiana, clary sage, or guava leaf to get the desired results. These oil will help in relaxing your body, keeping your sperm healthy for men and cure menstrual problems in women.
Balancing Your Swadhisthana ( Navel Chakra) – According to Ayurveda, your belly button chakra is the source of imagination energy and also home to your deepest desires and goals. So to maintain the balance of your Navel Chakra, you can use essential oils such as rosewood, sandalwood, and ylang-ylang to stay connected to your creative side and make your dreams come true. Do this once every week, and it will suffice.
Remember always that your navel is sensitive and take care of it when cleaning it! | <urn:uuid:6e760e0e-b9fc-48fb-aefa-be89c22ba975> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.myhealthbeautytips.com/archives/2410 | 2020-09-28T06:26:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401585213.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928041630-20200928071630-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.962532 | 928 |
As technology continues to move forward, many online companies – amazon at the forefront – are toying with the idea of using unmanned drones to deliver packages to customers. If you’re not familiar with drones, they’re essentially small, highly maneuverable helicopters that can be controlled remotely.
In theory, drone delivery has multiple advantages. One is that you wouldn’t have to send out gas-guzzling UPS trucks to make the deliveries any more. Another is that, because drones travel as the bird flies, deliveries could be made within hours of ordering – and in some cases, minutes.
But there are potential drawbacks when it comes to delivering to properties that HOAs are in charge of, and there are plenty of common rules and regulations that might defeat the idea entirely.
For example, a drone can’t be allowed to land in any common areas. Not only would it be disruptive to residents, there’s the potential for injury. A designated drone landing area is a possibility, but only for complexes that have the space.
There’s also the issue of noise. Some drones are relatively quiet, but drones that will need the power to lift potentially heavy packages will need to be larger, and therefore louder, which will undoubtedly disturb neighbors.
And then there’s the factor of time. If a drone delivers a package at noon, it’s not as likely to be disruptive as a package delivery at 3 in the morning. And since online companies are open 24 hours a day, late-night (or early-morning) deliveries could be a legitimate concern.
Since it’s pretty much a given that drone deliveries will be happening at some point in the future, it’s not a bad idea for an HOA to start making preparations now by adding by-laws that govern them. If drones are allowed on the property at all, the new rules should designate where they can land and when, and specify that the HOA is not liable for any eventualities tied to drone delivery.

Recipe Updated: 7 April 2020. I gave my friend a Soji recipe because her family wanted to eat some. However, she didn’t get to make it as she was not feeling well. I therefore offered to make some for her and they absolutely loved it. I don’t make this Rich, Creamy Soji often but I do have a delicious recipe that I created and use it from time to time.
Soji is an Indian dessert made with Semolina and it is loaded with butter. So please do not eat this more than once a year….Lol! I promise I don’t make this much because as delicious at it is I think I will have a heart attack eating this butter loaded deliciousness every other day.
These are the kind of sweet treats you keep for those special occasions. I do love comfort food and yes I love butter. But unfortunately we can’t always indulge in everything we love. This Rich, Creamy Soji is also typically served as a dessert at Indian weddings or a religious function and therefore eggs are not added to it.
Soji is a comforting dish. It’s rich and creamy with a soft texture. The texture totally depends on how you prefer it. You can add less milk and get a thicker texture or you can add more milk and have a velvety, soft texture. I prefer the latter. Soji is made with Semolina which is a coarse flour made from durum wheat. Here in South Africa some of us use Taystee Wheat in our Soji, which is a breakfast porridge mix made from wheat semolina and has a smoother texture.
I did add a pinch of Saffron to the Soji. However, I am not a fan of Saffron in my Soji. Just my personal preference. To get that yellow colour in the soji you can use a few drops of egg yellow food coloring if you choose not to add Saffron.
I love the taste of the cardamom in my Soji and it’s best to roast and grind your own, nothing better than freshly ground spices. Although I did add Saffron as one of the ingredients you really don’t have to use it.
I also used a tablespoon to measure my condensed milk. The reason I do this is so I can have more control over the amount I add to the Soji. I hate anything super sweet. I think I am sweet enough…hahaha! So you can start with 6 tablespoons and just add more as you go along until it has the right amount of sweetness for you.
Another one of my favorite Indian Sweet treats is Rice Pudding and you can get the recipe here.
Rich, Creamy Soji
- 3/4 cup Taystee Wheat or Semolina
- 125 gram + 25 gram Butter
- 2 pieces cinnamon stick
- 3 cups milk
- 1 tspn elachie/cardamom powder
- 1 tspn almond powder
- few strands of saffron (optional)
- few drops egg yellow food colouring
- 6-8 tbsp condensed milk you can add more if you prefer
- fresh cream (optional)
- In a medium size pot melt 125 grams butter on a low heat. Add a few drops of food colouring to the milk and set aside.
- Add the cinnamon sticks and taystee wheat to the butter and cook for about 5 minutes. It will turn slightly brown.
- Remove from heat and slowly add the milk, use a whisk and keep stirring. Return to the heat. It will splutter a little so be careful.
- Keep a close eye on it and keep mixing until it starts to thicken. It will leave the sides of the pan and you will see the butter floating around the edges.
- Add the other 25 grams of butter together with the cardamom and almond powder and mix well. Add the condensed milk and remove from heat
- You can serve with a drizzle of fresh cream and a sprinkle of almonds if you prefer | <urn:uuid:abb70384-7261-4c15-96bc-420d805c06ea> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tamarindnthyme.com/rich-creamy-soji-semolina-pudding/ | 2020-09-28T06:22:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401585213.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928041630-20200928071630-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.948986 | 839 |
Punta Cana Dominican Republic vacation
There are 21 miles of beaches in Punta Cana. (Photo: Footprint on sand, Punto Cana beach on Atlantic ocean image by vadiko from Fotolia.com )
Punta Cana is a popular vacation destination within the Dominican Republic on the island of Hispanola. In this city, there are 21 miles of beaches, many of which are public and some that are clothing-optional. Punta Cana has become the most popular tourist area on the island due to its acres of white sand and aqua-blue water. It continues to grow with new resorts-mostly all-inclusive. It is a wonderful place for a beach vacation, but there are some things you should keep in mind when making plans.
Punta Cana is on the east coast of the Dominican Republic, at the point of the island where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Caribbean Sea. If you are looking to surf or go whale-watching, the rougher ocean might be a better choice than the warmer, calmer sea. Note that a hotel may list its location as Punta Cana, but this also encompasses the towns of Uvero Alto, Cap Cana, Cabeza de Toro, El Cortecito, Arena Gorda, Macao and Bavaro, a popular area beach for all-inclusive resorts.
Punta Cana is laid back, so your dress will be casual. T-shirts, tank tops and shorts-or skirts and dresses for women, if desired-will take care of most of your needs. For evening, sundresses for the ladies and khaki pants and collared shirts for men usually are fine, but check with your hotel for dress requirements. At most resorts, you will need a cover-up for your bathing suit in the restaurant. Although sandals probably will be your preference in the heat, bring a pair of comfortable shoes for walking in rocky areas.
Language and Currency
Spanish is the official language of the Dominican Republic. English is spoken in most tourist areas, but you should try to learn a few phrases before you arrive in case you are in an area where little English is spoken. The peso is the unit of currency for the country. American dollars may be taken in some areas, but check the exchange rate before you arrive to make sure you aren’t taken advantage of.
If you tire of the water sports, horseback riding and sunbathing in the Punta Cana beaches, Marinarium Marine Park and Punta Cana Ecological Reserve are within the city. Nearby, you can take a short boat ride to Dolphin Island, visit the Boca de Diablo cave system or explore Manati Park Bavaro. If you have time, you can also find the picturesque town of La Otra Banda or the Boca de Yuma and Ponce de Leon House in San Rafael de Yuma within an hour of Punta Cana. | <urn:uuid:7378af58-445f-43aa-b9bf-56788559b301> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://anglo-dominican.org/PuntaCanaDominican/punta-cana-dominican-republic-vacation | 2020-09-29T13:41:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.922552 | 606 |
That is a perfect opportunity for both of us to drink and party. Termeer April 14, The thought of being submissive to a dominant, big-cocked black man is immensely arousing for both of us. I was also raised in a conservative, religious family, but learned the joys of stroking my cock when I was sixteen years old and just starting my junior year of high school. He was just out of college, and I remember him as being an excellent teacher. On the whole she leads a normal everyday life as a wife and mother, but every so often she transforms herself into an amazing incarnation.
COMPANYDIRECTORY.XYZ: amateur white wife fucked by big black cocks (BBC)
Huge Vids. Wife Report 02ms. DT Video Am hubbys swinger wife with BBC Report 20ms.
The woman was lying face down on the mattress, resting partially on her right side, being held in that position by her left leg, which was pulled up towards her chest. As I fucked Sandra, she told me how apprehensive, but also aroused, Roger and Stephanie were due to the risk they were taking by me fucking her unprotected and bareback. To me, women who had been black-fucked were prettier, sexier, and infinitely more exciting than white women who had never been with a black man. I saw him in my side view mirror, pulling up a few minutes later, and I was shocked to see my old coach from high school. That was the start of a cuckold lifestyle that has lasted until now, with Lori forty-nine years old and me fifty-six.

The UK’s only BBQ Podcast
Something very exciting has happened this week….
I was interviewed on the UK’s first BBQ podcast, this has been going for a few weeks now, and I was scheduled for the third episode. Now some of you may wonder why you’d want to hear me babbling on about BBQ for an hour…I think I could understand…but perhaps you’d be interested to find out more about me, and my love of BBQ, there’s thoughts on future projects, and lots of BBQ related information.
If you do decided you’d like a listen, the link is below.
I’d just say what a pleasure it was to be interviewed by Dan and Ben (BBQ Forte), it’s great to see BBQ in the UK being promoted by guys as passionate about it as these two are.

Last year, Catholic University began a partnership with the Capital BikeShare University Program. Students can now join the Capital BikeShare for a $25 annual membership, as opposed to the full price at $85.
Similar to metro stops, there are bike docks all around the city, with two close to Catholic’s campus: one by the Brookland-CUA metro stop and the other outside of Opus Hall. With the annual membership, all rides under thirty minutes are free, and each additional half-hour is $2. Biking around the city is an affordable and time-efficient way to get around, especially with safety concerns when riding the metro. Additionally, you can sightsee while on bike and really learn D.C.
The Capital Branch Trail, a safe multi-use path, begins right by the Brookland-CUA Metro stop and ends right before Union Station. The bike ride from Catholic U to Union Station is about twenty minutes each way and is the perfect place to start for first-time city bikers.
There are five places you can easily access with Capital Bikeshare Docks. One of my favorite bike rides is to go right to Union Station. From Union Station, you are a two-minute bike ride to the Capitol Building, which is a quiet area, especially on weekends. From there you can leisurely bike by the Library of Congress and see the Supreme Court building.
From the Capitol Building, you can bike to Eastern Market. On the weekends, the Farmers’ Line Market has everything from vintage print booths to fresh produce. If you are in the mood for lunch or dinner, We the Pizza is one of the best places to eat in D.C., and if you are craving a burger and a milkshake, Good Stuff, is a D.C staple.
Then, head down past the Capitol Building where you will see the monument to our 18th President, Ulysses S. Grant. Keep going straight and you will soon see the Smithsonian Institution to your left. This will lead you straight to the monuments. The Lincoln Monument is a great place to reflect on the nation’s history or even just a cool place to catch up on reading!
Buck up and download Citymapper because we are heading to Georgetown. If you are in the mood for some more activity, check out the Key Bridge Boathouse where you can reserve a kayak, paddleboard, and canoe. Georgetown is also full of great restaurants and shops! Tucked away on Grace Street, are South Block and SUNdeVICH. South Block has various locations around D.C, and the smoothie bowls are a staple. SUNdeVICH serves sandwiches on fresh baguettes as well as simple salads. Both are closed for indoor seating, but in the back behind SUNdeVICH is a small outdoor seating area. This is a great place to do work or spend time with friends on the weekends.
Georgetown can be crowded on the weekends, but it is relatively biker friendly, and there are docks throughout the area. Downloading the Capital BikeShare app will allow you to easily see the docks and ensure there are open spaces to place your bike in. Citymapper is another helpful app while navigating biking in the city; the app allows you to get directions for biking and can give speaking directions, which is extremely helpful while trying to navigate biking in the city.
Biking is a cheap and efficient way to see D.C, and Capital BikeShare makes biking accessible for students. Strap on your helmet this weekend and explore the city! | <urn:uuid:eedd5e84-7d6f-4eed-b3dd-5715c166c3d5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://cuatower.com/2020/09/biking-the-district-tips-for-freshmen/ | 2020-09-29T14:11:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.949815 | 749 |
Millennials, otherwise known as those between 18 and 34, are predicted to make a huge impact on supply chains in the next few years as they effect a consumer shopping revolution.
Their move towards new channel usage including online and mobile are expected to be transformative, and indeed this move is already having consequences in some areas of the supply chain. Further information on technology trends for this group are detailed in this article by Wired. Here, however we outline some of the specific supply chain impacts:
Mergers and Acquisitions
As Millennials continue their use of e-commerce,this in turn impacts on cross-border trade and subsequent global demand, significant mergers and acquisition activity is expected across all parts of the supply chain. This has been seen to date in the shipping industry but is expected to gather pace in other areas of logistics also. The most successful businesses will be those that can adapt quickly to the ever-changing needs of the Millennial as well as keep pace with their technical demands.
A key element of Millennial-driven change is expected to be technology adoption driving further innovation through the supply chain. This is expected to be of particular importance for logistics companies who will be seeking differentiation in the marketplace. Likewise, retailers and manufacturers are expected to benefit from Millennials understanding their own customers and driving appropriate innovation. Innovations in logistics like pallet wrapping machines for example, including pallet wrappers through www.packaging-machines.co.uk and others are seeing increased use in this area given the changing landscape and supply chain.
As with many other areas of technology, the logistics industry has moved from embracing the idea of Big Data, to working with the importance of analytics, to now being at the forefront of predictive analytics. This is expected to continue apace, and enable providers to make predictions for future events from existing data analysis. A more in-depth look at information regarding the impact of this for the industry can be found here.
The impact of changing Millennial behaviour is expected to be the emergence of a potentially smaller number of firms who are relatively asset-light but tech-enabled, allowing them to respond to the needs of this customer set quickly and effectively. In short, a logistics revolution. | <urn:uuid:aff0340b-ce62-48b8-a0cd-2383712dcaab> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://generationguy.com/reviews/millennials-predicted-to-have-significant-effect-on-supply-chains/ | 2020-09-29T12:37:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.951584 | 447 |

Sunday, March 27th, 2016 at 8:28pm by Benjamin, BZPower Reporter
They're invading your house, they're taking up all your shelf space, and you're completely OK with it. They're LEGO's Collectible Minifigs! You know the drill: These bags show up at the toy store, and you have two choices: Feel for what you want or grab a handful randomly. Whatever your tactic, presenting all sixteen CMFs Series 15 for your collecting pleasure. Read, and watch, the review to see if this wave is worth seeking out. We'll also be giving away a full set in the video!
A big thank you goes to LEGO for sending BZPower these to review. The CMFs have been a staple of my LEGO collection since their incarnation, but I have never had a whole set. I'm ecstatic to be able to share my opinions on this wave with BZP. These usually sell at $4 USD in their individual packets, and are ''random'' aside from being able to feel for certain element shapes. I'll talk about what to feel for in this review, too.
This wave's bag color is shiny orange. As usual, a handful of the characters are crowding around to be seen. Once you buy some and open them up, the minifig's parts, a black display plate, and flyer will fall out. And then you have your minifigure! Let's see what we get....
The Janitor comes with a fancy new mop piece, and a mustachioed minifig head. The arms are also dual-molded for sleeves. I'm sure multiples of this minifig will be handy in almost any MOC—every Brick Bank, Star Destroyer, and haunted firehouse needs to stay clean!
There are four Janitors to a big box of minifigs, so the odds of finding him are good. Feeling for the mop handle and the texture of the mop would be good, and feel for the hat too.
We all know there's only one reason LEGO made the mop piece.
The Jewel Thief reminds me of Catwoman from the Batman sets, or a sneaky spy. The black outfit suits her, and she has a trusty grappling hook to get in and get out. It is always nice to get another jewel in my collection too. The bandit mask is a nice touch with some superhero reusability. The black hair is also a favorite, as that is a fairly new mold.
There are three Jewel Thieves to a box, making her a little harder to find. Feel for the radar gun and grappling hook.
''That's not yours!''
The Flying Warrior is one of the most impressive, perhaps because of all that gold, and perhaps because of all the pieces that come with him. Unfortunately that means he is not holding anything, like a staff or sword. All the parts are gold, except his arms, hands, and head. The armor and helmet are new molds, and I would love to see the helmet molded in silver and put in a Thor set.
There are four Warriors to a box, making him fairly easy to get. Feel for the armor, and then check with the wings. The helmet is also a telling shape.
''We just going to wait here or are we going to go battle!?''
The Faun is one of the coolest minifigs lately, simply because of the digitigrade legs! This new mold gives him the hoofed-foot look, which easily makes the character. The fancy horned hair also is neat, along with the printed flute bar.
There are four Fauns to a box, so it should not be too hard to get him. Feel for the new molded legs, especially if you find the flute but need to make sure it isn't the knight.
It's all faun and games...
The Queen comes with the same fabric pieces the King did in a previous wave. She also has a very poofy dress slope piece. Furthermore, her styled hair allows for a crown to sit atop, looking very majestic. I was disappointed she wasn't holding a scepter or goblet to pull a scene together.
There are three Queens to a box, making her rare. The dress slope will give her away automatically though, as there are no other large pieces amongst the figs.
''Great job ruling the kingdom.''
The Ballerina utilizes a new piece in her tutu. This ruffled plastic piece is just odd enough to inevitably be used creatively by some clever builder. In the meantime, it will sit on her hips as she practices her sets. It does not allow her arms to completely rest at her sides, but that is not a concern. Her bun hair also has a flower printing on it.
There are three Ballerinas to a box, making her rare. Feeling for the tutu is your best option.
The Laser Mech is a fresh take on a recurring minifig. We see the mech head and armor used again, this time in different colors of course, but the ''brain'' of the Mech is a simple wavy blue line. Plus the armor has some printed transparent wings attached to it, looking super-cool. He also comes with a sci-fi sword as seen in Ninjago sets.
There are three Laser Mechs to a box, making him rare. Feel for the armor, wings, and sword.
''Who's ready to take over the galaxy?''
The Astronaut brings back some Classic Space from his voyages! Not only is there the Classic Space logo on his shoulder, but it appears on his double-sided flag! I assume he plants this on every territory he visits in the name of exploration. Let's just be sure not to leave him stranded on Mars.
There are four Astronauts in each box, allowing for an easy find. Feel for the square flag and then the bar.
We're 'nauts about space!
The Farmer is an essential part of the LEGO City scene. Minifigs have to eat, after all! He comes with a pitch fork and a spotted pig, ensuring he has plenty of work to do. The hat is pretty cool too. Maybe in the next wave we will get a wife so everyone can make that classic farm painting.
There are three Farmers in each box, making him rare. Feel for the pig, but make sure it is not the skunk, and feel for the pitchfork too.
''Here, piggie piggie piggie!''
Shark Suit Guy
Continuing the trend of minfigs in costumes, LEGO has made a shark suit mascot. I have no idea why this one is so popular.... He is pretty cool with his new arm fin molds and he headpiece with tail. And the minifig is showing some sweat, which is pretty funny and might come in useful if putting characters in stressful situations.
There are five Sharks to a box, making him common. Search for the large head piece or the minifig torso with odd arms.
At this point I admit that I have no idea what LEGO is thinking when making the distribution. It used to be that the statistically popular figs had more rarity, while the probably less desirable figs had a higher distribution. I am seeing the inverse with these figs, which is pretty fantastic since most everyone wants the Shark Suit Guy but the Farmer and Queen might not be at the top of everyone's list. That said, there are still a few figs that do not follow this, so I guess we will just be thankful that some things are appearing more than expected for now.
We have had numerous sword fighters in the past, but the Kendo Fighter keeps the trend of everyone being different. His mask is reminiscent of the Fencer, but it is a different mold. His torso is also adorned with some great armor. He also comes with two tan katanas, which are a first for this color I believe.
There are five Kendo Fighters to a box, making him common. Feel for the sword hilts and the grilled helmet.
''Ready to train?''
The Frightening Knight is well adorned with pieces. From his shoulder armor, helmet, plume, shield, and new mace part, he is ready for battle. We have gotten a variety of heroic and sinister knights in LEGO history, and this one seems a little more unruly. The tooth sticking out of his lips makes me wonder if he is related to Axl at all. As I said, the mace is a new part that sticks onto a bar.
There are four Knights to a box, making him fairly easy to find. Feel for mace, the point in the shield, and the shoulder pads.
''Let's not make a MACE of things.''
Animal Control Officer
The Animal Control Officer is a neat idea. We have gotten some park rangers in other sets, but her duty is to take keep watch of the wildlife. We see here that she found a skunk and can apprehend it with the new net piece, but her double-sided face shows the skunk is not too happy about that, and now neither is she. The arms are double-molded and she has the park emblem printed on her shoulder.
There are three Animal Control Officers to a box, making her rare. Feel for the net.
I feel sorry for the Clumsy Guy getting banged up in a few places, but being a LEGO minifigure it just looks comical! Let's hope he did not slip on a banana like his shirt is sporting. However much we want to blame LEGO for this guy's demise, it is great seeing someone that can use a helping hand. His cast is even dual-molded and printed on the side. The crutches a new mold that should be interesting to utilize too. I think the head wrap is new too.
There are five Clumsy Guys to a box, making him common. I suspect he will be a popular choice. Feel for the crutches.
''Need a hand?''
The Tribal Woman has some great pieces to her. LEGO has made a few Native American figs before, but this one is especially detailed. The hair has a pinhole for the feathers, the printing looks great, and there is a new piece—a baby wrapped up tight. Furthermore, the baby fits on the woman's back through a bracket.
There are three Tribal Women per box, making her, and that great baby piece, rare. Feeling for the baby is your best option, along with the braided hair, bracket, and feathers.
''What a cute baby!''
The Wrestling Champion is a winner and knows it! If his tough grin does not show his bravado, his champion belt and golden trophy prove his toughness. He sports a mullet and dual-molded legs, but even better are the side printings on his legs and arms. We have seen a few other wrestlers in the CMFs before, but they keep being different enough for our collections.
There are four Wrestlers in a box, making him fairly easy to find. The trophy will be your easiest thing to feel for, plus the long textured hair along with the absence of anything else for him.
Once it's all said and done, how does the set stack up? Should I get it?
With such an assortment of figures with differing chances of getting each one (unless you're really good at feeling and the store has a fresh box), putting together a definitive pros and cons list will not reflect the variety in this wave. It is worth mentioning that there are five female figures here to the eleven males, which is a fairly standard ratio now even though there are plenty of opportunities to make it an even split. The handicap guy is something fans have responded to well, pairing well with the upcoming wheelchair figure. The Shark Guy is pretty fun. We get a couple of animals. Everyone has their favorites, though most of the popular figs come with large odds in favor of fans. Basically, there is a little of something here for everyone, which is the best thing to be said about any Collectible Minifigure Series. | <urn:uuid:42137a5d-1da0-491d-8e89-bd0a6afdf3ef> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.bzpower.info/story.php?ID=8488 | 2020-09-29T13:41:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.967137 | 2,535 |

Hong Kong Humidity hitting 100%
During spring time (yes, it is getting there here in Hong Kong) the temperatures show a rising trend again. They can bounce up and down as can be seen in the picture above, though it gradually increases.
With that, the relative humidity definitely goes up and for months it will hover in the higher regions. Think between 80-100%. Some of the effects are that your laundry won't dry for days, condensation all over the house and dampness of clothes and bedsheets for example. Of course, as soon as you get outside, you feel sticky and sweaty already.
Even some long term effects can be seen on books (turning yellow or show mold). A remedy is placing of dehumidifiers - shops in town sell lots of small little boxes filled with chemical stuff that absorbs the humidity. Obviously, leaving behind a massive trail of waste as most of the boxes are on time usage only.
A better solution I believe is using electric dehumidifiers as they have a good capacity and are stronger as well. And indeed.. Groupon Hong Kong has had some deals coming through already. | <urn:uuid:93a6ad47-854b-40bf-a959-4c9b6969c5f5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.marcelekkel.net/2012/02/hong-kong-humidity-hitting-100.html | 2020-09-29T14:33:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.963216 | 239 |

By Laurel Leff, The Conversation
August 24, 2019
During the Nazi era, roughly 300,000 additional Jewish refugees could have gained entry to the U.S. without exceeding the nation’s existing quotas.
The primary mechanism that kept them out: the immigration law’s “likely to become a public charge” clause. Consular officials with the authority to issue visas denied them to everyone they deemed incapable of supporting themselves in the U.S.
It is not possible to say what happened to these refugees. Some immigrated to other countries that remained outside Germany’s grip, such as Great Britain. But many – perhaps most – were forced into hiding, imprisoned in concentration camps and ghettos, and deported to extermination centers.
The Trump administration is now resurrecting “the public charge” clause as a way to limit legal immigration without changing immigration law. On Aug. 12, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced new regulations that will deny admission to those unable to prove under tough new standards that they won’t claim government benefits.
As someone who has studied European Jews’ attempts to escape Nazi persecution and immigrate to the U.S., the administration’s evocation of the public charge clause is chilling.
Preventing 1930s Immigration
The public charge clause stretches back to an 1882 act, which was then incorporated into a 1917 law, that spelled out the classes of aliens who could be excluded from the U.S., including “persons likely to become a public charge.”
For the first five decades, the public charge provision barred few people, basically only those unable to work due to physical or mental handicaps.
After the 1929 stock market crash and the ensuing Great Depression, the Hoover administration sought to combat unemployment by reducing the number of immigrants. But it didn’t want to change the recently implemented Immigration Act of 1924 that set annual overall and country-by-country quotas.
In September 1930, the State Department issued a press release that told consular officials that they “must refuse the visa,” to anyone they believed “may probably be a public charge at any time.” The instructions achieved the desired effect. Within five months, only 10% of the quota slots allotted to European immigrants had been filled.
When the Roosevelt administration assumed power in March 1933, it continued the new interpretation of the public charge clause. As refugees from first Germany and then most of Europe sought to escape Nazi persecution, the State Department used the public charge clause to limit the number of foreigners, most of whom were Jews, from immigrating to the U.S.
With anti-foreigners pushing for legislation decreasing the quotas and refugee advocates trying to hold the line, the out-of-the-spotlight approach had political appeal. A State Department official acknowledged during hearings on a bill to cut the quotas 90% that “the administrative regulations were working so well that there was ‘no urgent need for legislation.’” Indeed, none of the numerous quota-cutting bills introduced throughout the 1930s passed.
Neither the language of the 1917 act nor the press release that doubled as an executive order indicated how applicants could prove they wouldn’t require public support. Should they show proof of assets? What kind of assets and in what amounts? Should they provide sworn affidavits from Americans vowing to support them? But who could provide such affidavits, and what financial resources must they possess?
With few guidelines and vast discretion, consular officials could basically do what they wanted.
Top State Department officials made clear what it was they wanted: to reduce immigration as much as possible. They also made clear that consular officials’ careers hinged upon accomplishing that goal. The State Department largely succeeded, primarily by relying upon the public charge clause, historians who have researched its use agree. Once World War II started in 1939, security concerns also were used to deny visas.
About 200,000 refugees from countries under Nazi domination were admitted to the U.S. as immigrants. About 550,000 could have been under existing U.S. quotas. Only once during the 12 years of the Nazi regime, in 1939, was the German quota filled. In all other years, the quota ranged from 7% to 70%.
Reviving the Public Charge Clause
Although immigration laws have changed considerably since the 1930s and 1940s, the existing Immigration and Nationality Act retains a version of the public charge clause. It is as vague as earlier incarnations. Anyone who is likely at any time to become a public charge is inadmissible, but the act doesn’t define what that means.
A related statute suggests “the availability of public benefits” shouldn’t be “an incentive for immigration.” It allows administering agencies to consider factors such as the applicant’s age, health, family status and financial resources.
Immigration Services, which is under the Department of Homeland Security, will use the Trump administration’s new rules to determine admissions to the U.S. at ports of entry and to assess status changes for certain immigrants already here.
The regulations specify negative and positive factors immigration officials must consider in deciding who is likely to become a public charge. Applicants who have enough money to cover “any reasonably foreseeable medical costs” or have a good credit score, for example, are judged favorably. Those who lack private health insurance, a college degree, sufficient English-language skills for the job market, or a well-to-do sponsor are assessed negatively.
Of recent applicants from Europe, Canada and Oceania, 27% had two or more negative factors under the new rules, Mark Greenberg of the think tank Migration Policy Institute told The Washington Post. Of those from Asia, 41% had two or more negative factors. Of those from Mexico and Central America, 60% had two or more negative factors.
The State Department is drafting similar rules for consular officers to use in issuing visas. The Department of Justice is preparing to provide standards for use in deportation and other immigration court proceedings.
The regulations leave the ultimate determination “in the opinion” of the appropriate government official, but I see little reason to doubt the result will be fewer and different types of immigrants. The Trump administration is as likely to succeed in communicating what it wants to lower-level officials as was the Nazi-era State Department.

In 1937, Neville Chamberlain, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, succeeded Stanley Baldwin as Prime Minister of a National Government, which in fact was overwhelmingly composed of Conservatives. It was opposed by the Labour and Liberal parties; there were small National Labour and Liberal National parties supporting the National Government. Faced with a resurgent and irredentist Nazi Germany, Chamberlain had attempted to avert war by a policy of appeasement, abandoned only after Germany became more overtly expansionist with the annexation of Czechoslovakia in March 1939. After Germany invaded Poland on 1 September 1939, Britain and France declared war on Germany. At this point a government supporter noted privately:
Once Germany had rapidly overrun Poland, there was a sustained period of military inactivity lasting until 9 April 1940, when, days after Chamberlain had told a Conservative Party meeting that Adolf Hitler "had missed the bus", Germany ended this "Phoney War" by an attack in overwhelming force on neutral and unsuspecting Norway. In response to the German invasion, Britain sent limited land and naval forces to assist the Norwegians. Apart from the naval success at Narvik, the subsequent Norwegian campaign had gone badly for Britain for very basic reasons.
Chamberlain's eventual successor, Winston Churchill, was First Lord of the Admiralty during the Norwegian Campaign. Originally elected in 1900 as a Conservative MP, he had become a Liberal Home Secretary and was then First Lord of the Admiralty during World War I. After the failure of the Gallipoli campaign he had been forced to take a more junior post, and then removed from government altogether by the Conservatives before becoming Minister of Munitions under David Lloyd George. After the war, Churchill had served as a Conservative Chancellor of the Exchequer, before entering the political wilderness. His past views and actions on domestic issues, most notably his very active exertions to break the 1926 United Kingdom general strike, did not make him a natural associate of the Labour Movement. He had vigorously urged various policies outside the political mainstream; when he had first warned against the rise of Germany and argued strongly for rearmament, he had largely been ignored. He had argued against appeasement, even at the height of its popularity.
On the outbreak of World War II, Chamberlain brought Churchill into government again in his old post of First Lord, so giving him direct responsibility for the conduct of naval operations. Churchill was required to defend the government of which he was a member, whatever his private views. He had pressed the Cabinet to ignore Norwegian neutrality, mine Norwegian territorial waters and be prepared to seize Narvik, in both cases to disrupt the export of Swedish iron ore to Germany during winter months, when the Baltic Sea was frozen. On behalf of the Admiralty, he had however advised that a major landing in Norway was not realistically within Germany's powers.
The conduct of the British government in World War I offered both political and military parallels with that in World War II to date. Militarily, reference could be made to the World War I Antwerp and Gallipolis expeditions as relevant to the hazards which were run or should have been run in Norway. Politically, there were two obvious precedents: the reconstruction of the Asquith government in 1915 as a wartime coalition still led by the peacetime leader of the majority party and, more dangerously for Chamberlain, Asquith's subsequent replacement in 1916 by Lloyd George, of which Churchill later said:
The Norway Debate was technically a motion "that this house do now adjourn". Under Westminster rules in such debates, held to allow for wide-ranging discussion of a variety of topics, the question is not usually not put to a vote. In this case, the Opposition forced a vote to demonstrate their deep concern and so this vote was effectively on a motion of confidence.
The Commons sitting on Tuesday, 7 May 1940, began at 14:45. There followed some private business matters and numerous oral answers to questions raised, many of those being about the British Army. At 15:48, Captain David Margesson, the Government Chief Whip, moved "that this House do now adjourn". This being agreed, the House proceeded to openly discuss "Conduct of the War", specifically the progress of the Norwegian Campaign, and the Prime Minister rose to make his opening statement.
In his biography of Churchill, Roy Jenkins described the ensuing debate as "by a clear head both the most dramatic and the most far-reaching in its consequences of any parliamentary debate of the twentieth century". He compared it with "its nineteenth-century rivals" (e.g., Don Pacifico) and concluded that "even more followed from the 1940 debate" as it transformed the history of the next five years.
Chamberlain said that since his previous statement to the House on progress in Norway on Thursday, 2 May, British forces had successfully withdrawn from southern Norway. Chamberlain began to make a case that actual Allied losses had been light and German losses disproportionate to any benefit they had gained. He was interrupted by Labour MPs pointing out that the reverse had come as a shock to the country and the world.
Chamberlain attempted to deal with that by saying that it had been a shock because of unrealistic expectations for which ministers were not to blame, but at several points MPs derisively shouted out, "They missed the bus!" The Speaker had to call on Members not to interrupt, and Chamberlain was eventually forced to defend the phrase directly. He asserted that the phrase had not been intended as a prediction but a retrospective comment that the totalitarian states had prepared for war while the United Kingdom was thinking only of peace and so he would have expected an attack at the outbreak of war when the disparity of arms was at its greatest.
Returning to the conduct of the campaign, he pointed out that much of Norway was not yet controlled by the Germans; the Allies had been right to send the forces they had to southern Norway and right to withdraw them. Preparations had been thought adequate to aid the Norwegians against any likely German intervention. In the event, the scale of the German invasion and its ruthless breach of neutrality meant that the rapid seizure by the Germans of all major ports had prevented the landing of significant Allied forces and that the rapid reinforcement of the German invasion forces, unobstructed by expected demolitions on roads from the South, had prevented the landed British forces from taking Trondheim.
On the conduct of the war, he still saw no need for a smaller and more powerful War Cabinet, but Churchill, already First Lord of the Admiralty and Chairman of the Military Co-ordinating Committee of the Cabinet, was to be given powers to direct the Chiefs of Staff Committee.
Responding to interventions by Lloyd George and Herbert Morrison, Chamberlain said that Churchill would retain all his existing responsibilities and that his additional role had been decided upon since the start of the Norwegian campaign but not as a response to it. Other minor changes would doubtless be made from time to time, but "it would be better to occupy ourselves with increasing our war effort rather than disputing about the form of Government". He invited "the co-operation of MPs from all parties" but was met with a cry of "No, no" from a Liberal MP, Geoffrey Mander. Chamberlain resumed, concluding:
Clement Attlee, Leader of the (Labour) Opposition, responded. He quoted some of Chamberlain's (and Churchill's) previous confident assertions about the likely victory of the British. Ministers' statements and, even more so, the press, guided (or deliberately left uncorrected) by the government, had painted far too optimistic a picture of the Norwegian campaign; "at last, when the enemy had been locked behind his walls, he had now put out his head to be hit", which prompted Conservative MP and Chamberlain supporter William Davison to shout, "It was very badly hit." Attlee then turned to the conduct of the campaign itself, concluding that "the gravamen of my attack on the Government is that it does not seem that there was a thinking-out of our plans beforehand, that there was not adequate intelligence, that there was not the necessary concentration on the essential objective and I ask whether, at any time, there was not delay and discussion where action was necessary?" He then attacked the organisation of the Government, talking of "a failure of grip, a failure of drive" in pursuit of the war, concluding, "I say that there is a widespread feeling in this country, not that we shall lose the war, that we will win the war, but that to win the war, we want different people at the helm from those who have led us into it."
Sir Archibald Sinclair, the leader of the Liberals, then spoke. He too was critical. He drew from Chamberlain the admission that whilst troops had been held in readiness to be sent to Norway, no troopships had been retained to send them in. Sinclair gave instances of inadequate and defective equipment and of disorganisation reported to him by servicemen returning from Norway. Chamberlain had suggested that Allied plans had failed because the Norwegians had not put up the expected resistance to the Germans. However, Sinclair reported that the servicemen "paid a high tribute to the courage and determination with which the Norwegians fought alongside them. They paid a particular tribute to the Norwegian ski patrols. Norwegians at Lillehammer for seven days held up with rifles only a German force with tanks, armoured cars, bombing aeroplanes and all the paraphernalia of modern war."
The rest of the first day's debate saw speeches both supporting and criticising the Chamberlain government; they included two devastating attacks on the conduct of the campaign and of the war by Conservative backbenchers whose views carried weight.
Sir Roger Keyes, Conservative Member of Parliament for a constituency in the naval town of Portsmouth, a naval hero of World War I and an Admiral of the Fleet no longer on the active list, spoke on the conduct of naval operations, particularly the abortive operations to retake Trondheim. Harold Nicolson called it the most dramatic speech he had ever heard. In full uniform with six rows of medal ribbons, Keyes told the House:
The House listened in breathless silence. Keyes finished by quoting Britain's greatest naval hero:
When he sat down there was thunderous applause.
The former Cabinet minister Leo Amery delivered a fierce attack on the Chamberlain government, criticising not merely the conduct of the Norwegian campaign but also the government's unpreparedness for it despite intelligence warning of likely German intervention and the clear possibility of some such response to the planned British infraction of Norwegian neutrality by the mining of Norwegian territorial waters.
Amery went on to criticise the whole conduct of the war to date, and called for formation of a truly National Government and a small War Cabinet, similar to that of World War I under Lloyd George, and for a change of personnel (his final quote was directed against the Government Front Bench). He too quoted a national hero:
Arthur Greenwood, Labour Deputy Leader, spoke near the end of the first day's debate; he made use of Keyes's speech and of Amery's. He spoke first of what he saw as the true mood of the House:
Then, he said what he thought the mood of the country to be:
He contrasted Chamberlain's attitude with the mood of the Navy as reported by Keyes:
Britain had lost the confidence of the neutrals as well; for all those reasons, the campaign was a serious reverse:
Criticism about the Norwegian campaign was bringing to a head many other criticisms; a change of personnel was needed, and responsibility for bringing about that change lay with government MPs:
At the start of the second day's debate on Thursday, 8 May, Herbert Morrison declared that the Labour Opposition wished to call for a vote of censure on the Government. He hardly minced matters:
Chamberlain replied that he welcomed the chance for a division:
That shocked many present, who regarded it as divisive to be so explicit in relying on whipped support from his own party. Robert Boothby, a maverick Conservative MP and strong critic of Chamberlain, called out, "Not I."
The former Prime Minister David Lloyd George, who was in office during the last two years of the World War One, now spoke. Members had to call upon him to speak up: he was now 77, and it was to be his last major contribution to debate in the House in which he had sat for 50 years. He told Members that he was a Welshman and would warm up once he got going: he did.
He first attacked the conduct of the campaign:
Britain was in the worst position strategically that it had ever been as a result of foreign policy failures, which he began to review from Munich onwards. Interrupted at this point, he retorted, "You will have to listen to it, either now or later on. Hitler does not hold himself answerable to the whips". British prestige had been greatly impaired; before Norway, Americans had not doubted the Allies would win the war, but now they said, "It will be up to us to defend Democracy."
He criticised the rate of re-armament pre-war and to date:
Dealing with an intervention at this point, Lloyd George said, in passing, that he did not think that the First Lord was entirely responsible for all the things that happened in Norway. Churchill intervened to take complete responsibility for "everything that had been done by the Admiralty, and my full share of the burden". Lloyd George retorted, "The Right Honourable Gentleman must not allow himself to be converted into an air-raid shelter to keep the splinters from hitting his colleagues" and resumed:
That drew another intervention this time from Chamberlain:
The response to that intervention was a direct call for Chamberlain to resign:
Churchill wound up the debate for the government, defending the conduct of the Norwegian campaign with some robustness. He explained that even the successful use of the battleship HMS Warspite at Narvik had put her at risk from many hazards; had any come to pass, the operation, now hailed as an example of what should have been done elsewhere, would have been condemned as foolhardy. "It is easy when you have no responsibility. If you dare, and forfeit is exacted, it is murder of our sailors; and if you are prudent, you are craven, cowardly, inept and timid". If nothing similarly bold had been done at Trondheim, it was not because it was thought too dangerous; but because it had been thought unnecessary: military advice had been against an opposed landing and instead predicted rapid success from the steps actually taken.
He deplored the "cataract of unworthy suggestions and of actual falsehoods which have been poured out to the public during the last few days".
Responding to a comment by Labour MP Manny Shinwell, he said of him that "he skulks in the corner"; that provoked uproar and repeated interventions, Churchill complaining, "All day long we have had abuse, and now honourable Members opposite will not even listen".
Having defended the conduct of the naval operations in the Norwegian campaign at length, he said little to rebut the wider-ranging criticisms except that the debate should not have become one of confidence at such short notice. Indeed, elements of his reply echoed points made by anti-government speakers:
Record of speeches and votes from Hansard
After Churchill's speech the House divided. The motion was "that this House do now adjourn" and constituted a vote of confidence.
The government's notional majority was 213, but 41 members who normally supported the government voted with the Opposition while an estimated sixty other Conservatives deliberately abstained. The government still won the vote by 281 to 200, but the reduced majority was "devastating". The Labour MP Josiah Wedgwood led the singing of "Rule Britannia", joined by Conservative rebel Harold Macmillan of the Noes; that gave way to cries of "Go!" as Chamberlain left the Chamber. Among the "rebels" were Macmillan, Nancy Astor, John Profumo and Quintin Hogg. They did not include some expected dissidents such as Brendan Bracken or Duncan Sandys: Jenkins says they "followed their master's (Churchill) example rather than his interest and voted with the government".
The following day, Thursday, 9 May, Chamberlain attempted to form a National Coalition Government. In talks at Downing Street with Viscount Halifax and Churchill, he indicated that he was quite ready to resign if that was necessary for Labour to enter such a government. Attlee and Arthur Greenwood then joined the meeting, and when asked, they indicated that they must first consult their party (then in conference at Bournemouth), but it was unlikely they could serve in a government led by Chamberlain; they probably would be able to serve under some other Conservative.
After Attlee and Greenwood left, Chamberlain asked whom he should recommend to the King as his successor. The version of events given by Churchill is that Chamberlain's preference for Halifax was obvious (Churchill implies that the spat between Churchill and the Labour benches the previous night had something to do with that); there was a long silence which Halifax eventually broke by saying he did not believe he could lead the government effectively as a member of the House of Lords instead of the House of Commons. Churchill's version gets the date wrong, and he fails to mention the presence of David Margesson, the government Chief Whip.
Halifax's account omits the dramatic pause and gives an additional reason: "PM said I was the man mentioned as most acceptable. I said it would be hopeless position. If I was not in charge of the war (operations) and if I didn't lead in the House, I should be a cypher. I thought Winston was a better choice. Winston did not demur." According to Halifax, Margesson then confirmed that the House of Commons had been veering to Churchill.
In a letter to Churchill written that night, Robert Boothby asserted that parliamentary opinion was hardening against Halifax, claiming in a postscript that according to Clement Davies, "Attlee & Greenwood are unable to distinguish between the PM & Halifax and are not prepared to serve under the latter." Davies (who thought Chamberlain should go, and be replaced by Churchill) had lunched with Attlee and Greenwood (and argued his case) shortly before they saw Chamberlain. However, Hugh Dalton noted in his diary entry for 9 May that he had talked to Attlee, who "agrees with my preference for Halifax over Churchill, but we both think either would be tolerable."
On the morning of Friday, 10 May, Germany invaded the Netherlands and Belgium. Chamberlain initially felt that a change of government at such a time would be inappropriate, but upon being given confirmation that Labour would not serve under him, he announced to the War Cabinet his intention to resign. Scarcely more than three days after he had opened the debate, Chamberlain went to Buckingham Palace to resign as Prime Minister. (Despite resigning as PM, he continued to be the leader of the Conservative Party.) He explained to the King why Halifax (who, the King thought, was the obvious candidate) did not want to become Prime Minister. The King then sent for Churchill and asked him to form a new government; according to Churchill, there was no stipulation that it must be a coalition government.
At 9 pm on 10 May, Chamberlain announced the change of Prime Minister over the BBC. Churchill's first act as Prime Minister was to ask Attlee to come to the Admiralty to see him. Next, he wrote to Chamberlain to thank him for his promised support. He then began to construct his coalition cabinet: before he went to bed at 3 am on Saturday, 11 May, six hours after Chamberlain's original announcement, Churchill had established the composition of the new War Cabinet, including the heads of the Service Ministries.
By Monday, 13 May, most of the senior government posts were filled. That day was Whit Monday and therefore normally a Bank Holiday. However, the Bank Holiday was cancelled by the incoming government, and Churchill spoke to a specially convened sitting of the House of Commons. Speaking to them for the first time as Prime Minister, he began:
He went on to make one of his most famous speeches ("I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat"), which includes a brief account of how the Cabinet had been formed.
The speech in reply made by Hastings Lees-Smith announcing that Labour would vote for the motion, drew comfort not only from the formation of the new all-party coalition but also from the process by which it had been formed and the ease with which the nation had changed horses in midstream.
Thus, the wartime coalition was endorsed unanimously by the House, save for two tellers for the noes.
The Norway debate is regarded as a high-point in British parliamentary history, as it occurred at a pivotal moment in a battle for the nation's survival and showed that individual backbench Members of Parliament could assert their power. When asked to choose the most historic and memorable speech for a volume commemorating the centenary of Hansard as an official report of the House of Commons, former Speaker Betty Boothroyd chose Leo Amery's speech in the debate: "Amery, by elevating patriotism above party, showed the backbencher's power to help change the course of history". | <urn:uuid:91773bf5-82b8-4a0a-8be8-bf4b8f6a2cea> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://alchetron.com/Norway-Debate | 2020-09-29T14:10:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.983868 | 4,380 |
Adherence to solid principles guide Alta Care Resources to make decisions that are in the best interests of every unique child and family we serve
CARE Model Principles
01. Developmentally Focused
“Resiliency is a capacity all youth have for healthy development and successful learning.”
All children have the same basic requirements for growth and development, progress varies from child to child. This is accomplished by:
a. teaching new skills in deficit areas,
b. creating opportunities for the child to practice these new skills with adult assistance, and
c. adapting the environment so that children can succeed.
02. Family Involved
The family of every child is an irremovable part of that child’s life irrespective of circumstances. Children need permanent ties to caring and nurturing adults. One of the goals of service delivery is to strengthen family relationships.
03. Relationship Based
The most significant task in service delivery is for staff to develop a trusting relationship with each child and parent. A person’s ability to form personal strength and manifestation of resiliency associated with healthy development and success in their life. Relationships also increase influence and cooperation.
04. Trauma Informed
If caregivers understand what has happened to children and families and comprehend the effects of violence, power and control has on their development, it helps keep the milieu focused on providing order and learning experiences versus demanding compliance and control. This requires a shift in thinking from “What is wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”. This also requires changing perceptions of “attention seeking behaviour” to “attachment seeking behaviour”.
05. Ecological Oriented
Caring and supportive environments provide children and families with a model of how to care for themselves and others. Environmental supports should be matched to the child’s needs and changing qualities to maximize the child’s and family’s growth. It is much more reasonable to change the approach or manipulate the environment or activity than it is to demand that the child or family make a change that may not be in their capacity to do so.
06. Competence Centered

As I said last week, I wanted to return to Titus and build on some of the things mentioned last week, found in Titus 3:1-8. We considered this incredible idea of grace; that is, God loves us, sinful man, so much, that He planned “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:4) to put His grand redemptive plan in place. God yearns for this to be our reason for the change, for transformation. That is what happens when grace impacts the believer, as we consider in last week’s lesson. Today, we dive into it even further.
“For the grace of God that brings salvation to all men, teaching us that…”
As is always the case, it is crucial to seek to understand the context, and this one is powerful. Slaves who have come to accept Christ as Savior, those who have come to know the grace of God found only in Christ, are exhorted to “be obedient to their own masters” (Titus 2:9). Their behavior is such “that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in all things” (Titus 2:10). As one person put it, they “were giving it [The “it” is the gospel.] drawing power by making it attractive to those whom we are striving to win to Christ through the preaching of the gospel.” In this case, it was the slave seeking to draw his master towards the gospel. The question is, how does one achieve such a perspective in life? The answer is simple and profound: God’s grace teaches us. The word “teaches” here means to cause one to learn, at times, through the process of discipline. When “grace” is the center of our reasoning, it sets the stage to learn about His ways. Then we can implement His concepts in our lives. His grace teaches us “not to live against God nor to do the evil things the world wants us to do” (NCV, Titus 2:12). This is part of the “good works” we considered last week mentioned in chapter 3 and chapter 2 verse 6; which involves the desire to get rid of the old man and pursue the “new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness” (Ephesians 4:24). Grace beckons us to seek Christlikeness, because of the unmerited favor shown towards sinful man. This transformation of character, that is, the changing of the external because of what God through Christ has done to the internal man is what helps draw others towards Christ and the gospel. People see something different.
That same grace teaches us to turn from our old ways, and now “teaches us to live now in a wise and right way and in a way that shows we serve God” (Titus 2:12). Those old ways of life are “torn up by the roots” by God’s grace. We seek to live wisely, or as my NKJV says, soberly; that is, with self-restraint. It spurs the believer to live a “right way” or “righteously” towards those around us. Okay, think of the slave for a minute—the challenge of how he was to interact with his master. Things have changed now that he is in Christ, and there is no doubt his master would notice. This grace also causes the believer to change how he or she engages with God. There would be a newfound reverence towards God because of His grace. The truth of the matter is simple: life would not be the same once someone comes to know His grace. I wonder what the master would think as they come in contact with a slave transformed by God’s grace.
Treating their master with respect is a lot to ask of those who found themselves held captive in slavery. There had to be something that enabled them to look beyond their present situation. They were “looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works” (Titus 2:13-14). The grace that brought them hope is the same grace that caused them to hope. John C said a couple of weeks ago, not a hope that is wishful thinking, but rather, a hope that causes them to anticipate their Savior’s return. A hope that generates within them a desire to pursue good works. Such a change is not without its impact. Why? Because grace changes the believer. | <urn:uuid:dc2e844a-ca50-45b2-9e82-3f9dea4a56e9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://biddefordchurchofchrist.com/2020/06/07/grace-as-our-teacher-6-7-20-dennis-godin/ | 2020-09-29T14:40:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.970758 | 985 |
Did you know that Fusion has an awesome mentorship program? Our mentors know what traveling is all about, so they’re always going to be there to help new travelers transition into their first few travel assignments. Let’s meet the great faces behind the mentorship action at Fusion!
I've been practicing since 2014, primarily with home health and outpatient settings. At this point, I have worked as a traveler in two states and for six contracts, all in different cities. I worked for 1 1/2 years in permanent outpatient positions prior to starting travel. Though many ask, it is impossible to pick a favorite location or contract, because I like them all. I would have loved to have a mentor when I started traveling, so my hope is to make the transition easier for others.

After working in Topeka for about a year and half, we decided to pursue traveling PT. Since then, I have done a total of seven travel assignments, with the last six being through Fusion. I have worked in a variety of settings – outpatient, home health, and rural hospital. We have done assignments in Tucson, AZ; Topeka, KS; Conrad, MT; Lake Havasu City, AZ; Honolulu, HI; and Wilton, ME. I’d be glad to answer any questions and help in any way I can.

Travel therapy has been one of the most fulfilling opportunities I’ve had.

Favorite thing about traveling: One of my favorite things to do is travel and experience all different types of people groups, cultures, history, languages and God's beautiful creation. So I decided to combine that love of travel with my career as an OT, and I am loving it!
I have been blessed with the opportunity to make meaningful differences in people's lives as a Registered Occupational Therapist for over 17 years. These primarily include inpatient, outpatient, long term acute care, skilled nursing, assisted living, home health, community reintegration, chemical dependency, psychology and pediatrics. During this time, I have also held positions of Senior Therapist, Clinical Coordinator, Occupational Therapy Manager and Director of Clinical Services. I am certified in Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) and have a special interest in vision rehabilitation. I began traveling almost a year ago and enjoy it greatly. My professional experiences prior to joining the travel world have been a great asset in navigating through this field of practice successfully, and I hope to pass this on to other traveling therapists through Fusion's Mentorship Program.
I am a small town, Wisconsin country girl and a true 'cheesehead' at heart. I love my Badgers, Packers, and Brewers/Twins, and yes, I grew up surrounded by cheese, cornfields, and cows. I have been working in travel therapy for the past 2 years. I like to say I'm pretty adventurous, having taken the summer off to travel to some pretty awesome place—because hey, you only live once.
Hobbies include: traveling [obviously :)], outdoorsy things (e.g. hiking, four-wheeling, skydiving, etc), annoying my parents, spending time with my boyfriend and pup, and playing the piano - to name a few.
Favorite places: Hawaii, Maine, Europe, western Washington and Oregon, and of course - Wisconsin.
I'm a pretty open book, realist, and socialite who is willing to answer any and all of your questions! Cheers!
I started my career in occupational therapy as an occupational therapy assistant. I worked for about 2 years in a pediatric school setting and decided I needed to go back to school to get my master's degree. While getting my prerequisites, I worked in skilled nursing facilities and became a director of rehab for a year. Throughout my master's degree program, I worked as a PRN COTA in skilled nursing facilities. After graduating and passing my National Board Exam, I knew I wanted to be a traveler. I have been traveling for almost 2 years now. I have loved every second of it! I have had amazing opportunities to push myself both professionally and personally. Professionally, I have been a lead therapist, a rehab director, and built an occupational therapy program for a small hospital. Personally, I have flown a plane, hiked, camped, and snowshoed in Glacier National Park, visited Canada, hiked to the summit of Mt. Tallac, and made amazing friends along the way! I'd love to help you find a love for being a traveling therapist! You can also find me on Facebook by searching my name Kelly Rutherford. I'm the Kelly Rutherford sitting on top of a mountain!
Favorite thing about traveling: I love traveling therapy, and especially Fusion, because it allows me to discover new places while following my passion of helping others through occupational therapy.
I graduated OT school in May of 2015. Shortly after graduation, I packed up my life and embarked on my travel journey! I did home health in the desert of Nevada for about six months and loved every second of it (Lake Tahoe really is the most beautiful place). After Nevada, I moved back to my home state, and worked in hand therapy and pediatrics for about nine months, then decided a permanent position just wasn't for me... yet. So again, I packed up my things—most importantly my two fur babies—and moved to New Mexico with my best friend, Jordan. Together, we are a traveling OT/PT duo and we love to explore new areas, hike new mountains, and eat all the food... haha. Traveling with someone definitely has its perks (someone to split that large pizza with), but it can also get a little tricky (where the heck is Bruceton, Tennessee? Is that even on the map?) So, if you're looking for a mentor to give you an honest opinion (the good, the bad, the ugly, and most importantly the beautiful), I would love to help you out!

Trial of Methyl Aminolevulinate Plus Aktilite in Facial Photodamage
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.|
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00629317|

Last Update Posted : March 16, 2009
|Condition or disease||Intervention/treatment||Phase|
|Skin Aging||Other: Moisturizer Drug: Methyl Aminolevulinate||Phase 3|
It has been demonstrated that photodamage leads to wrinkles, mottled pigmentation, lentigines, telangiectasias, and textural changes, but more importantly, it can also lead to pre-cancerous conditions with the development of actinic keratosis (AK). The majority of photorejuvenation or photodamaged published studies have used 5-Amino-Levulinic acid (5-ALA) as a photosensitizer, and either a blue light or an Intense Pulsed Light source with a 70%-95% global facial skin improvement. The molecular mechanism of such improvement is unknown, but activation of a non-specific immune response in addition to increased fibrosis and new collagen formation, have both been suggested.
Methyl Aminolevulinate ( MAL) is another marketed photosensitizer mainly utilized in Europe. Lipophilicity, higher penetration depth and tumor selectivity has been advocated for MAL compared to 5-ALA. However, its effect in photodamaged skin has not been well documented.
The aim of the study is to determine the efficacy of MAL + Aktilite (PDT) in facial photodamage.

I use Pacific on a client site and just tried the script amybillmckenzie provided but it doesn't seem to work. Should it be in the header? Anyone have other ideas? I want the same behavior: truly mobile devices (smartphones and small tablets) should get the hamburger, but my client's 25-inch Windows 8 machine should absolutely not see it (both IE and Chrome get the hamburger). Personally, I think this is a glaring bug or shortsighted design on Squarespace's part that they need to fix. | <urn:uuid:e0795c3a-4a82-41cf-888f-f42f37508b00> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://forum.squarespace.com/profile/860-chartier/ | 2020-09-29T14:37:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.923499 | 116 |
A former “Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood” star might take the cake for one of the most tone-deaf publicity stunts … she faked being beaten and kidnapped to promote her OnlyFans account, but says it was to raise awareness of sex trafficking.
Masika Kalysha posted the video of herself Tuesday in lingerie with apparent cuts, scrapes and bruises all over her body, claiming she got assaulted and was still in danger.
Then, she strangely asked for money to stave off her kidnappers, saying … “They said you guys have to leave me tips and follow me so they can take the money or they’re not gonna let me go.”

A recent blog I posted elicited a most interesting comment from my blogging buddy “BTG” (“Big Tall Guy”). I argued for the objectivity of moral judgments, when well-reasoned, and he raised the following issues:
Hugh, I can think of a few examples where an act can be right, but also have some wrongness attached. A domestic violence victim who finally lashes back and kills her abuser. A man defending his home and kills the intruder. A mother defending a child who kills the assailant. All actions are justified and have a rightness about them, but killing someone is wrong. I recognize these are extremes, but there is a lot of gray in our lives.
I made a brief, but altogether unsatisfactory response — as one does with comments on a blog post — and then realized that the issues BTG raised deserve extended response. So here goes. Let’s begin with one of his examples. Let’s take the case of Mrs Jones who has been repeatedly battered by her husband, several times seriously enough to require trips to the hospital. After a series of such events, including one beating in a hotel elevator that was caught on CCTV and “went viral” arousing the ire of millions of people around the globe, she reaches out during one such beating, grabs a bronze statue on the bedside table and kills her husband. Assuming that the case ever goes to trial, there is little doubt that a jury would consider this a case of “justifiable homicide.” It is wrong to kill, but under the circumstances one would almost assuredly regard the killing as “the right thing to do” — or if we hesitate to use the word “right,” at least we must admit it was expedient and therefore justified in the circumstances. That’s my point: killing is wrong, but in this case, within the context of this event, it is justified because there is a reasonable case to be made that if Mrs. Jones had not killed her husband he would eventually have killed her. It was self-defense.
My point is that we can reason about such events. We need not just rely on “gut feelings” or “intuition.” It’s not just a question of personal opinion. We can try to distance ourselves from the event and examine it as objectively as possible, separate out its grisly elements and render a judgment. It’s what would be done in a court of law, and it is what we can do on a daily basis if we choose to venture beyond the realm of grunts and hunches. Ethics need not be reduced to the level of personal feelings, simply.
But there are cases which are even more troublesome. Take the case of Henry Smith who has joined the U.S. Army and is now in Afghanistan where he is called upon to kill people regarded by his country as enemies. He has no bone to pick with these people, and in the case of the war in Afghanistan it is not clear that the folks who fall before his automatic weapon are in fact enemies in any real sense of that term. And even less clear is the case of the airman who sits in a room somewhere in Nebraska and directs drones half-way around the world to “take out” presumed enemies of Freedom.
St. Augustine argued that the only justification for killing in war is in the case of defense of home and hearth, a defensive war. It’s not clear that the so-called terrorists Smith is killing pose any direct threat to Smith or his home and hearth. In other words, it is not clear that this is a “just war,” in Augustine’s sense of that term. He is simply ordered to kill and in many cases because of his situation, the men he kills are trying to kill him. Unless he is guiding a drone, his act is one of self-defense. But this act is complicated by the fact that Smith might well have chosen to take a job at Walmart rather than to enlist in a war that might be over nothing more vital than the country’s supply of oil — or poppies. He made a choice, presumably. It’s not as clear-cut as the former case — though we might revisit the former case and ask why Mrs. Jones didn’t simply leave her husband before putting herself in a position to have to kill him rather than be killed herself.
The point of this extended discussion is that we can pick out the various elements of each and every situation and examine them in the air of dispassionate scrutiny and render a judgment that stands up to criticism. To the extent that it can withstand criticism we can claim it is true — so far as we can tell at present: we have no absolute knowledge. We can say that Mrs Jones, for example, was trying to work through the domestic violence because deep down she loved her husband and leaving him was never a real option — she genuinely believed that things would work themselves out. But Smith is more culpable, despite the fact that our country keeps telling us that these young men and women are heroes, they have all made a decision to engage in a war that is of doubtful legitimacy: it is not clear just how those “enemies” in Afghanistan pose a direct threat to Henry Smith or anyone else in the U.S. of A. If he had been drafted the situation would be entirely different, but as it is his killing raises a number of problems regarding the rightness of his actions.
But in the end, the point I want to make is that we can discuss it: we can draw out the particulars and try to determine whether his action is right or wrong. I would simply note, again, it cannot be both. It’s either right or it is wrong. The problem we have, if we decide to think about such things rather than dismiss them with a grunt, is deciding which it is. | <urn:uuid:3158832e-2ab0-4507-ba5c-611af7517c03> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hughcurtler.com/2014/12/10/wrongs-that-are-right/ | 2020-09-29T13:10:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.980647 | 1,238 |
LINCOLN, Neb. – This morning, the White House released its intention to uphold the integrity of the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) by reallocating waived gallons of ethanol. The Nebraska Corn Board and the Nebraska Corn Growers Association thank President Trump and his administration for following through in their commitment to our nation’s corn farmers and our ethanol industry. Nebraska Corn also thanks the USDA, our state’s congressional delegation, Gov. Pete Ricketts and Nebraska’s corn farmers who took a unified stand in demanding the law is upheld and the goals of the RFS are reached.
“We’ve been waiting for a reallocation of waived gallons for a long time,” said Dan Nerud, president of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association and farmer from Dorchester. “To say we were upset with the refinery waivers is an understatement, so today’s announcement is welcome news. We’re very happy with today’s announcement.”
“I’m extremely excited with today’s announcement,” said David Bruntz, chairman of the Nebraska Corn Board and farmer from Friend. “Today’s news just goes to show what our growers can achieve when our voices are unified. Thanks to all of Nebraska and our nation’s corn farmers who rallied together to ensure we have vibrant corn and ethanol industries for years to come.”
Nebraska Corn looks forward to working with the administration to ensure the RFS is fully realized and the clean-burning, renewable ethanol industry continues to thrive. | <urn:uuid:dc54a3a4-f392-4591-9dbb-726d3d7bce53> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://krvn.com/agricultural/nebraska-corn-thanks-president-trump-for-upholding-the-law-and-the-integrity-of-the-rfs/ | 2020-09-29T14:01:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.947461 | 327 |

It said that I needed to synchronize blocks. So I did that.Dgb cryptocurrency exchange
The wallet took up the enormous amount of my computer memory. I found a way to close the sync window, and only then I found out that I could simply copy my wallet address without waiting for the whole blockchain to load.
So I copied the address. I added the wallet address to the mining program, and the process started. When I woke up, I checked the wallet and saw that the synchronization was still going on.
I decided to Google the problem. Forums advised getting Jaxxa multi-token wallet. Instead of storing a blockchain on the computer, the wallet stores it somewhere on its own server.

Governor Tom Wolf said on Friday that he will remove most coronavirus restrictions on 17 mostly western and north-central counties on May 29. The counties moving to the “green” phase are Bradford, Cameron, Clarion, Clearfield, Crawford, Elk, Forest, Jefferson, Lawrence, McKean, Montour, Potter, Snyder, Sullivan, Tioga, Venango and Warren.
Wolf said he’d planned to move Centre County to green, but local officials told him they didn’t feel the county was ready yet.
“We honored their request that they not move into the green. I think they’ve done a phenomenal job,” Wolf said. “Yet, they don’t feel they’re ready and we honored that. We were sensitive to their request.”
In the counties moving to green, most restrictions will be lifted, but concerts, sporting events and festivals will be restricted. Restaurants and stores will also be limited to welcoming fewer customers at once. Gyms, theaters and casinos will also be allowed to open at a limited capacity.
The governor said he plans to move Dauphin, Franklin, Huntingdon, Lebanon, Luzerne, Monroe, Pike, and Schuylkill counties to yellow on May 29.
Currently, 49 out 67 Pennsylvania counties are in Wolf’s yellow phase, meaning people can leave their home for any reason but many other restrictions remain in place.
“Our ability to identify and isolate cases of COVID-19 has increased, and this will allow every Pennsylvanian in our commonwealth to resume a more normal life without constant fear of contracting COVID-19,” Wolf said.
The 10 remaining red counties are Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lehigh, Northampton, Montgomery, and Philadelphia.
Wolf plans to ease coronavirus restrictions on all Pennsylvania counties by June 5. | <urn:uuid:13e6be08-a50c-49c0-8d1e-71b7adac604e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://radio.wpsu.org/post/17-counties-prepare-move-green-phase-centre-county-asks-stay-yellow | 2020-09-29T13:37:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.946368 | 405 |
Mechatronics for sophomore-level mechanical engineering students
Date of Graduation
Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
As mechanical product designs become more complex, integrating electromechanical components with embedded control circuitry, the need for engineering graduates with a diversified educational background in multidisciplinary applications has been recognized within many facets of industry. The focus of this research was to create a series of laboratory experiments and a capstone project based on a survey of literature from current educators that could be used to introduce sophomore-level mechanical engineering students to fundamentals in the field known as "mechatronics", which incorporates the traditional disciplines of mechanical, electrical and software engineering. The lab exercises utilize the Handy Board microcontroller from MIT Media Laboratories to introduce analog and digital concepts as well as simple C programming. The project, which is based on application of the material presented in the labs, involves design and construction of an autonomous vehicle that is capable of collision detection, automatic start-up and line following behavior. A prototype of the vehicle, equipped with photoresistors and subminiature switches for sensors, successfully negotiated a 79-inch long, winding course, which was created using white tape on a black background, in approximately 6 seconds. The prototype demonstrated the application of material covered in the exercises and the viability of the project as a tool for demonstrating mechatronics concepts.

This month we met at Adrienne’s house for Book Club. While I look back at the evening what I recall most was how many conversations I had with each member about the recent books we have been reading and how much they have enjoyed the titles. Kari was particularly vocal about how much she has enjoyed learning about different periods of history from books she would never have thought to read if not for book club. Being a champion for reading this warms my heart. This is why we created our book club and it makes me happy that everyone has risen to the challenge to pick titles that are out of our comfort zone!
For March we read Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. It was unanimous, we all loved the book. Learning about another bit of history and the atrocities the Lithuanian people were subjected to lingered in our minds well after we had finished the book. The book did not delve too much into the politics of the time, but we as a group discussed the Soviet occupation in Lithuania and tried to have a mini history class at the table. I know I need to get on Wikipedia for a refresher course! | <urn:uuid:5255fdcb-d861-494d-9591-966d016a5994> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ridgelysradar.com/2012/03/march-2012-book-club.html | 2020-09-29T15:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.986714 | 233 |

By now, most everyone has heard of Modafinil. It’s one of the hottest smart drugs on the market. If you Google the name, you’ll see that one of the top questions people ask about this wakefulness-promoting nootropic is, What does modafinil do to you?
Well, I can’t speak for others since most all of them have already spoken for themselves (see Reddit, Longecity, et al.), but I can speak for my own experience. Last week, the fine people at ModUp.net shipped a 40 count supply of Modalert, their signature brand of generic modafinil, to me and I was beside myself with excitement.
I had read that modafinil should not be taken if one suffers from high blood pressure, has had chest pains or has had an irregular heartbeat. I also read that modafinil should not be taken if the user drinks excessive amounts of alcohol. As it happens, I have extremely high blood pressure, I have chest pains at least once a week (conservative estimate) and I drink twelve beers a day.
What’s the worst that can happen, am I right?
So, Monday, I dropped my first 200 mg tablet of Modalert and let me tell you, it was something else! The hype was for real, these little pills can really pack a wallop!
I take my first dose on an empty stomach at around Noon. I felt it kick in within about a half hour. I had heard stories about it taking 45 minutes to take effect, but that wasn’t the case with Modalert. I could feel it working almost right away.
Modafinil is supposed to make you work better and feel better. It’s frequently used to treat night shift work disorder. In my case, I couldn’t get any work done because I was overtly aware of my every move. The first rush was one of self-realization with full body sensations.
I was intensely aware of every breath I took and I had a warmth in my chest as if someone had poured hot cocoa on my heart. When I went to the bathroom to urinate, I ended up staring at my junk for what seemed like an hour.
Eventually, I managed to snap myself out of this and that’s when things got interesting. Normally, I would write two to three 1,000-word articles a day for some of my clients, but under the influence of Modalert, I turned out two 3,000-word articles in less than three hours and spent the rest of the day writing haiku about sperm whales and extrapolating on the meaning of life in essay form.
My heartbeat was definitely jacked, but I felt alright except for a slight flush in my face. I looked like that fat kid who used to have a show on MTV, the one who hung out by the dumpsters in Waiting. I never felt so smart and so fat.
But that’s the funny thing. I actually felt like I was burning fat as I went about my daily routine. A few wall push-ups and I would have sworn that I had dropped five pounds on the spot. The ModAlert was definitely working its wonders.
I decided to up my dose by taking one and a half 200 mg pills. My heartbeat is more jacked than yesterday, but I feel even better. The first hour is great, I feel sharp and energized.
As my day goes by, things begin to take a bizarre turn. I feel like strange and terrible things may be about to befall me. Call it a sixth sense or something, I don’t know.
When my fiancee comes home from picking up some groceries and she says, “Hey,” I look up and got a distinct perception that she is a midget. She looks so tiny. Too tiny. I feel like something is amiss in the height department…as if she has shrunk since the last time I saw her.
I try to ignore this and go about my business (I’m supposed to be working on an article about the best nootropics for bowel problems, but I just can’t seem to focus what with the overwhelming attention I’ve been paying to the intricacies of a Vine compilation playing on my iPad)…no matter what I do, I can’t shake the notion that my fiancee is suffering from some sort of adult degenerative dwarfism.
This warped perception eventually passes, but it gives way to something else that’s every bit as disconcerting. As the evening wears on, I am struck by vicious bouts of fierce flatulence. My farts reek like hollandaise sauce even though I haven’t eaten anything but a salad in the last twenty-four hours.
I am also unable to keep my hands off myself. My fiancee calls me a narcissist and I can’t disagree since I am so preoccupied with touching my body that I can’t help thinking I am in love with myself. I have to say, it’s not the worst thing to feel. But it would certainly feel better without the booty clouds.
My fiancee and I turn in early because I feel as though I need to calm down. Everything is moving too fast.
As a responsible drug user, I reflect on my experience from the day before and decide that it may be best to reduce my dosage. I revert back to my first dose amount, taking a single 200 mg pill.
The farts are still coming in hard blasts and I don’t want to have an accident while going to the store to buy cotton balls (this may be unrelated to the ModAlert intake, but my nose will not stop gushing blood and I’m kind of embarrassed) so it seems best to cut back.
An hour and a half after taking the 200 mg pill and I’m feeling fine. Except that I am grossly aware of my body once again. This is all well and good for a while until I get behind the wheel of my car and start driving to the store.
There is a twitch in my face and, by the time I get to the shop, I am convinced that there is something living on my chin. When I look at it in the mirror, I see that my face muscles are undulating.
There’s definitely something in my chin, I am sure of it. A powerful hunger overtakes me and I decide to forego the cotton balls and head to the closest fast food restaurant.
At the Taco Bell, I begin to lose my shit entirely. The menu options are too much for my mind to fathom. Yes, it’s true that the ModAlert enhances one’s mind, but maybe it enhances it too much. I zero in on each ingredient in each burrito and salad bowl and become lost in thought about the history of each.
Their premium Latin rice makes me ponder the fact that rice is actually the seed of the grass species Oryza sativa and sativa is a word synonymous with cannabis. This, in turn, makes me wish I had some Punchy Kush THC edibles. I begin to quiver.
The cashier asks me what he can get me and I let out a low squealing noise as if wounded. Because I have been wounded, wounded by my own indecisiveness and confusion. I’m still thinking about maize crops and agriculture when he asks me that question.
Why does he want me to decide on just one item? Why am I suffering from the cottonmouth? Why didn’t I pick up those cotton balls? Is my nose still bleeding? Who was the first person to suffer a bloody nose?
I almost want to ask the cashier for a pint of blood, but instead, I decided to order an XXL Chicken Grilled Stuffed Burrito. I’m not sure why I would order it since I’m a lifelong vegan, but I feel like I need protein.
This leads me to stare at the menu for some time, ruminating on the meaning of the word “protein.” Biomolecules are what protein consists of. Consists of of…consists of…that sounds weird.
I think of the process of protein turnover. That leads me to wonder when I last had a turnover. Or maybe I’m thinking of popovers. Do they even make popovers any more? Maybe I’m thinking of croissants.
My head is full of thoughts that seem jumpy and ephemeral. A protein’s lifespan is measured in terms of its half-life. I wonder what the half-life of modafinil is supposed to be. It seems like a doozy!
After my XXL Chicken Grilled Stuffed Burrito is gifted to me by the cashier, a sense of calm washes over me. I am zen with my burrito. All is okay…except…I really need to find out who the first person who cultivated rice was. That guy was cool.
I wolf down my burrito in the parking lot, hiding in my car so that people will not see the monster that I have become. I am Ahab, I am Galileo, I am Nostradamus. I have a prediction: People will not take my experience seriously. But I know that I am on to something.
I go home and my heart palpitations subside. I begin to feel less smart. Consequently, I decided to take another 200-milligram pill. I don’t want my fiancee to think I’m a moron, I want her to see the potential that Modalert has unleashed.
As the sun sets and my fiancee comes home from her job selling bags of oranges on a highway overpass, I greet her with a twenty-five-page note about why the love I feel for her is more legitimate than the love any other human has ever had for his fellow man…or woman. I deconstruct the concept of love and the history of love. I quote Anais Nin and Emily Dickinson. Things get sticky.
Later in the night, I end up vomiting on my fiancee’s chest. I want to apologize to her, but I begin to contemplate the various things that vomit can lead to. It is said that frequent vomiting can lead to wet brain, a condition caused by stomach acid repeatedly rising up in your throat. This scares me.
I end up sleeping with the blankets over my head. Panic has set in and I’m trying my best to ignore it.
When I wake up, I discover that I’ve soiled our mattress and I’ve soiled myself. I stagger to the bathroom, walking like the Penguin from Batman to avoid any further spillage. I resolve to discontinue Modalert use.
It is a totally cool drug, but it’s definitely not for me. I like feeling like a genius, but I don’t like dwelling on rice. | <urn:uuid:e49a2e0d-2217-477f-92bf-8863592e02ad> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://smartdrugsforcollege.com/modalert-experience/ | 2020-09-29T13:40:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.964027 | 2,309 |
A good week of fishing. The success from day to day is effected by weather systems moving through. Downsize lures the days fish get sluggish. Electronics helpful. Many of the best reports from the south shore are from anglers headed out 20 miles or more. Combo of walleyes and saugers. Structure around Knight and Bridges or Garden Island are doing well. Long Point and Arnesen’s reefs still producing meals of fish with an occasional trophy.
Up at the NW Angle good fishing continues on the edge of structure in 20 – 30′. Jig one line, dead stick second line. A mixed bag, with more walleyes than saugers. Some jumbo perch, pike and eelpout mixed in. Big crappies on the Canadian side. Fish houses on ice through March 31st. www.LakeoftheWoodsMN.com/lodging. | <urn:uuid:e6d564cb-3be4-4742-9514-923f89e42d05> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sportingjournalradio.com/2015/02/03/lake-of-the-woods-fishing-report-2/ | 2020-09-29T12:56:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.936035 | 188 |

Micro blading is becoming a popular trend in the recent days. Celebrities are heaping praises to this procedure. Most women who are guilty of over-plucking their eyebrows are benefitting from this procedure.
If you haven’t heard about microblading, don’t worry. It’s more like a tattoo, though different from an eyebrow tattoo.
So, what’s the difference between microblading and a tattoo? Well, microblading lasts for a maximum of three years while a tattoo is permanent.
The procedure involves making tiny cuts on the skin and injecting ink on the upper dermis. In the process, there is no room for mistakes. You surely don’t want infections on the skin of your clients.
No one will accept to get the service if you’re not qualified. However, with the right, you can become an artist in the industry.
These are some basic tips you need to know about microblading.
- Do Your Research
Microblading is a beauty procedure. In most cases, it doesn’t require one to have a license to practice. However, that doesn’t mean you should venture into the exercise without the right knowledge and training.
You need to know the risks in this practice. The costs you’ll incur to complete your training and what you need to become successful in the industry.
Most clients are aware of the risks they’re exposing themselves to. As such, they’ll only seek the services of a competent, trained and certified microblader. If you don’t meet this criterion, no one will buy your services.
You need to choose the best training institution you can get in the area. Also, get the certification from your training institute or college after graduation.
2. Evaluate the Cost-Effectiveness of the Program
Once you enrol in the training, you need to view the time and money as your investment. What are the possible returns to your investment? What’s the time and money you need to finish your studies?
For instance, let’s say you spend $2500 on the cost of classes. What are you likely to earn in a week, or even annually? Well, the potential earning a week will go up to $2250 translating to $117000 income annually.
Determine where you’ll get the money to finance your training. It’s also worth noting that the potential earnings will vary per your state and location.
3. Build Your Reputation
With the right practice, you can become an artist and make money. However, this is dependent on the reputation you hold in the market.
As a beginner, you have the best opportunity to design your reputation. All you need is to offer the best possible services in the market. Understand what your clients want and work towards achieving it. This will make the clients happy.
A happy client is an asset to your firm. They’ll create and make referrals to your business. Microblading is an activity of beauty. Ensure, your flyers and pictures are aesthetically appealing.
You can also market your services on social media. Make sure you offer the best possible services. | <urn:uuid:1f06855e-de59-4865-8a6c-7af98f1299c4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://wideinfo.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-microblading/ | 2020-09-29T12:39:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.945966 | 669 |
There are a couple of great spotting locations at Montreal Trudeau Airport which allow aircraft logging and photography.
One is the Parc Jacques-de Lesseps located on Avenue Jenkins in Dorval. The other is a small patch of land at the northern corner of the airport.
Martin Cirino has put together this guide and selection of photographs showing what it’s like spotting at these locations.
The Jacques-de Lesseps park is situated alongside runway 06R/24L at the airport.
There is a raised earth mound in the park which allows you to see departures on 06R and some arrivals on 24L.
There’s also a small grandstand and some info about aircraft and Mr. De Lesseps, too.
The park was created by Aéroports de Montréal in 2012.
How to get there
The Jacques-de-Lesseps Park is accessible by Autoroute 520 (Côte-de-Liesse) and by STM buses #202 Dawson and #460 Express Métropolitaine by either the Dorval exo commuter train station or the Du Collège metro station.
You can also drive there. It is off Avenue Jenkins, and there is street parking available.
Northern Spotting Location
The other location is a small patch of land at the corner of Chemin St-François and Percival-Reid.
It is situated just next to the end of runway 24R.
How to get there
It is accessible by Autoroutes 13 and 40 and STM bus 175 Griffith/St-François from the Du Collège metro station too.
Montreal Trudeau Airport
This is the third-busiest airport in Canada, and the busiest in Quebec.
It was previously known as Montreal Dorval Airport.
The airport has three runways – 06L/24R, 06R/24L and 10/28 (used as a taxiway).
It is a hub for Air Canada, Air Transat and Sunwing, and also sees airlines from across the USA, Canada, Europe and some other countries.
In the area to the north-east you’ll find lots of maintenance hangars for airliner work, general aviation facilities, and a large production site for Bombardier’s business jets and regional airliners. This adds to the interest here as you’ll often see something unusual compared to other Canadian airports.

People from the Bible: Moses and the Ten Commandments
An assembly from the Culham St Gabriel archive
Suitable for Whole School (Pri) - Church Schools
To reflect that, although rules may not be easy to keep, they are a good way to help us live in peace and harmony.
Preparation and materials
You may wish to display the Ten Commandments, in which case you will also need the means to do so. A version of the Ten Commandments that has been made simpler for children is available at: https://tinyurl.com/ybjso6cr. The full version of the Ten Commandments can be found in Exodus 20.1-17.
Ask the children if they have heard of Moses from the Bible, and if they can tell you anything about him. Some children may have seen the film The Prince of Egypt, which could help them with ideas.
Remind the children that Moses is one of the great biblical heroes and is revered by Christians, Jews and Muslims. There are many stories about this great and inspirational leader, but one of the things that we most associate with Moses is the Ten Commandments.
Ask the children whether they know what the Ten Commandments are. Explain that they are ten instructions about the way people should live if they are to be happy and live together in peace.
The story starts when Moses leads the Hebrew people to escape from slavery in Egypt. They began a long and dangerous journey into the desert. Moses told the people that God would be their guide and would help them. They knew that they were now free to go wherever they wanted and do whatever they wanted. At first, everyone enjoyed the freedom, but it was not long before some people began to complain. The desert was a dangerous place and they wanted to know how long they would have to wander there. The people also complained that they were hungry. Although they had been slaves in Egypt, they had still had enough food. Looking back, the people began to say that they had been better off before and that life was easier in Egypt.
Moses tried to keep the people’s spirits high and led them on through the desert until they came to the Oasis of Sinai. Here, there was water and food and they could set up their tents for a while. It was on Mount Sinai that God gave Moses a list of rules about the best way to live.
Ask the children if they can think of their own rules as to the best way to live in school. You may wish to record these for display later. Examples could be ‘speak kindly to people’, ‘don’t take what isn’t yours’, ‘be polite’ and ‘don’t hurt people’.
Show the children the list of the Ten Commandments.
Compare the two lists to see whether any of the ideas are the same.
Point out that the first three commandments are about loving God, but the others are about loving other people.
Ask the children if they think rules are necessary. Explain that the world would not be a good place if everyone just did whatever they felt like doing all the time. If there were no rules, people could do bad or unkind things and get away with it. Rules are important so that we learn about what is right and wrong, good and bad, helpful and unhelpful. Rules are there for a reason: to help us stay safe.
Ask the children for examples where breaking the rules could be dangerous or could end in trouble or unhappiness. Examples could be crossing a busy road without walking to the crossing, stealing something that isn’t ours and being unkind to a friend.
Time for reflection
In the New Testament part of the Bible, Jesus spoke about a new commandment that has two parts. He stated that people should love God and love others.
Ask the children, ‘How could we do that today?’
Help us to see that rules are there to keep us safe and happy.
Help us to love other people and to act in a way that shows care for them.
Help us to follow the best ways.
Be near to us when we find it difficult.
Guide us to live together in peace and harmony.
‘Shalom’ (Come and Praise, 141)
‘Peace is flowing’ (Come and Praise, 144)
Moses is often described as one of the greatest leaders in the Bible. Find out more about the life of Moses.

I love the International Home and Housewares Show every year. They have the best new kitchen gadgets, home products, bath products, and generally everything you’re about to see in the next few years coming to Williams-Sonoma, Sur La Table, and even Bed Bath & Beyond. This is where trends are made and deals are laid. This is the place to be every year in Chicago.
For this post, I’d like to talk about what I found for COOKWARE AND BAKEWARE at the 2018 International Home and Housewares Show.
The new Le Creuset sorbet collection is super adorable. I can’t wait for you to score this set of fun pastel colors, perfect for summer and ice cream. The ice cream bowls and spoons are my favorite, but you can also buy the cocottes or mugs in the same rainbow of spring colors. Find these this summer!
“Colors of the Year” are a huge thing in cookware and bakeware. While Fiesta is probably the brand best known for yearly colors, even huge brands like KitchenAid is playing along. Le Creuset has many colors they launch each season, some exclusive to retailers, and some store-wide. This color, a softer version of Pantone’s Color of the Year – Ultra Violet – is available at all of their stores now. Provence, a muted purple, is the color of lavender fields in France (check out the lavender themed piece in the back). It’s beautiful, of course it’s beautiful – it’s Le Creuset. You can purchase these online now or at a Le Creuset store near you.
I love the Le Creuset Disney collections. I am still waiting to get my Beauty and the Beast soup pot (but can’t bring myself to buy something for $300 because I really don’t like soup that much). These new mouse ear ramekins are affordable splurges at $50 for the set. You can purchase these online now or at a Le Creuset store near you.
At first, I thought these adorable pieces were props. However, these new products – from dutch oven to sauce pan are meant to be small. They’re meant to be individual portions to take from the stovetop to the table for a fancy dinner service that actually requires LESS dishwashing and mess – how about that?!! The Ballarini Servintavola collection is from the same parent company that creates Staub. And you probably can guess how in love I am with Staub. These chef-quality pans about $19.99-$25.99 each, but you’ll want to get at least two, or four or all of them because they’re so dang cute.
The new Cusinart Mineral Collection is another stainless steel collection launched this year. Is there anything special about it? Not really, but I thought they were really pretty new pieces from Cuisinart – and affordable too at $39.99-$49.99 per piece. It will definitely make an impression for a reasonable price at your next dinner party.
I love Cook’s Illustrated even though I am so far from even calling myself a home cook. I’d consider myself more of a “huuzah you didn’t light the kitchen on fire today” chef. But I love reading every issue and I trust their product reviews. When I saw that Nordic Ware received nods for best rimmed baking sheets, it caught my attention. I definitely need to invest in a new set and these might be on my list!
At Nordic Ware I also found some funky new Halloween cake pans that are right up my alley. My gothic skull-loving alley.The new haunted mansion and tombstone cake pans are awesome, and of course the skull ones are my favorite find from last year too.
I’d be amidst if I didn’t also note about Ayesha Curry’s new collection of bakeware that’s sure to be a reasonable price (it’s available at Amazon, Target, JC Penny and Walmart) and all comes with her signature heart. Even the dutch ovens come with a heart knob! Affordable bakeware and cookware that’s accessible too!
I still have more finds from the 2018 International Home and Housewares Show! There are so many gadgets and gizmos that I saw that I know you’ll just love – from air fryers to Instant Pots! Stay tuned to Celiac and the Beast for more from the International Home and Housewares Show floor! | <urn:uuid:0553ca90-cd76-47b2-8051-0389e6fced39> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.celiacandthebeast.com/2018/04/international-home-and-housewares-show-best-of-cookware-and-bakeware/ | 2020-09-29T15:02:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.931292 | 976 |

At the “Meet and Greet” reception for residents and students attending the Academy’s 2016 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, LA, many liaison psychiatrists talked about what the C-L subspecialty had meant for them. The talks were moving and heartfelt. We asked a few of the speakers to summarize their remarks on camera.
Christine Pelic, MD, Ralph H Johnson VAMC, Mt Pleasant, South Carolina, describes every day as fascinating, interesting, and different, learning something new each day about medicine and psychiatry, and teaching both medical and psychiatric providers. (Nov 2016, 1:15 minutes)
James Strain, MD, FACLP, Mt. Sinai Medical Center, New York, New York, discusses the excitement of solving very complex problems, saving lives, and learning new things constantly. (Nov 2016, 1:29 minutes)
Christopher Sola, DO, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, argues you can’t get bored and can’t stop thinking in C-L psychiatry, always at the “bleeding edge” of psychiatry. (Nov 2016, 1:01 minutes)
Margo Funk, MD, VA Southern Oregon Rehab Center and Clinics, Medford, Oregon, emphasizes the diversity of careers in C-L psychiatry, from inpatient to outpatient settings, across many specialties from perinatal health to psycho-oncology, as well as administrative and political roles, even changing one’s career path many times within your life. (Nov 2016, 0:56 minutes)
David Kasick, MD, The Ohio State University Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, praises the chance to help people, grow as a physician and psychiatrist, and become a more versatile doctor in an ever-changing career, and says C-L psychiatry is fun every day. (Nov 2016, 0:42 minutes)
Mary Jo Fitz-Gerald, MD, FACLP, LSU Health Sciences Center, Shreveport, Louisiana, notes we are the “Dr. House” of the hospital, except nicer, solving puzzles throughout the institution. (Nov 2016, 0:52 minutes)
Michael Rafferty, MD, VA North Texas Health Care System, Dallas, TX, loves the variety of C-L, loves backing up his medical and surgical colleagues, and loves that C-L psychiatrists can help suffering patients and improve their health status.

Where: All Saints Church Haggerston, Livermore Rd, London E8 4EZ
What is it?
The unique annual Clowns’ Church Service, also known as the Grimaldi Service, will be held on Sunday 3rd February. This year the event will take place at the All Saints Church, in Haggerston, London.
The service will see hundreds of costumed clowns gather to commemorate Joseph Grimaldi and other deceased clowns.
But who was Joseph Grimaldi? Grimaldi was an English actor, comedian and dancer, who became a well-known and respected clown performer. Notably, as a child, Charles Dickens saw Grimaldi perform, and later went on to edit his memoirs.
After his death, Grimaldi was buried in St James’ Episcopal Chapel’s burial ground, which is now known as Joseph Grimaldi Park. A special Clowns Service was first held at the park in 1946. For those who are interested, hidden in the park is a quirky and very fitting artwork, which allows you to make music and dance on Grimaldi’s grave. The artwork consists of two coffin-shaped bronze tiles, which are tuned so that you can play notes by stepping onto them. You can find this often over-looked park just off Pentonville Road in Islington.
In 1959 the annual Clowns Service moved to the Holy Trinity Church in Dalston. This is why Holy Trinity is also known as the Clowns’ Church. A special museum displaying clown memorabilia including props, photographs and costumes is located at the back of the church, although it is currently closed while the church awaits repair work.
For the last few years the service has been held at the nearby All Saints Church in Haggerston. The service attracts hundreds of performers from all over the world, all attending in full clown costume. Afterwards the clowns usually perform comedy magic, circus skills and a soap bubble act for members of the public. | <urn:uuid:9802cfdd-28f1-4842-a195-3a0f598fd394> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.contrarylife.com/2019/01/clowns-church-service-london-2019-51268/ | 2020-09-29T14:12:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.977298 | 404 |
Two years ago, we cared for a young man in his thirties with acute leukemia. As a child he had lymphoma so had already battled cancer previously. He was very guarded at times and a bit introverted. Anne Marie worked her magic and found things that interested him to talk about, she found he had a love of penguins. She developed a strong relationship with the patient and his family. Re-admissions were less difficult for him. The last admission he had, he became very ill and a treatment plan was started. During a night shift several days later he was found pulseless, resuscitation efforts were not successful. His family was devastated. Staff was heartbroken. Anne Marie decided to take action. She took up a collection and adopted a penguin at the Gifford Zoo in his honor. After his funeral Anne Marie took the adoption papers to his family. We received cards of gratitude for caring not only their son but his family as well.
This is just one of many examples of why Anne Marie is being nominated for this award. She also volunteers for many projects, races, fundraisers, Francis House and just recently shaved her head for St Baldrick's for the second time. | <urn:uuid:c18c0d08-7f17-4d4d-93fd-aba4eb551e98> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.daisyfoundation.org/daisy-award/honorees/anne-marie-cortese?position=1085&list=43A8-XLGrTfEJBicWfF311E7svhalB-PqYasl6AcL0w | 2020-09-29T13:54:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.997271 | 245 |

Artificial transcription factors are powerful tools for regulating gene expression. Here we report results with engineered zinc-finger transcription factors (ZF-TFs) targeting four protein-coding genes, OCT4, SOX2, KLF4 and c-MYC, and one noncoding ribonucleic acid (RNA) gene, the microRNA (miRNA) miR302/367 cluster. We designed over 300 ZF-TFs whose targets lie within 1 kb of the transcriptional start sites (TSSs), screened them for increased messenger RNA or miRNA levels in transfected cells, and identified potent ZF-TF activators for each gene. Furthermore, we demonstrate that selected ZF-TFs function with alternative activation domains and in multiple cell lines. For OCT4, we expanded the target range to -2.5 kb and +500 bp relative to the TSS and identified additional active ZF-TFs, including three highly active ZF-TFs targeting distal enhancer, proximal enhancer and downstream from the proximal promoter. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (FLAG-ChIP) results indicate that several inactive ZF-TFs targeting within the same regulatory region bind as well as the most active ZF-TFs, suggesting that efficient binding within one of these regulatory regions may be necessary but not sufficient for activation. These results further our understanding of ZF-TF design principles and corroborate the use of ZF-TFs targeting enhancers and downstream from the TSS for transcriptional activation. | <urn:uuid:781accdf-5e23-41c3-b1df-7dbd3f749668> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.diagenode.com/jp/publications/view/2037 | 2020-09-29T12:44:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.885468 | 357 |
Markets for Real Estate and Water Rights
As a water economist in the process of buying a home, it has been interesting observing the differences between the real estate market and the water markets I study. A water right is often defined by its source, location of diversion, location and type of use, and a priority date (water in the western US is allocated first-in-time, first-in-right, so older dates have priority in times of drought). A home is defined by a daunting (at least to a first-time buyer) number of attributes: location, number of bathrooms, lot size, type of insulation, school district, view, etc., etc., etc.
Despite a longer and more subjective set of attributes used to value real estate, economists know more about the real estate market than the market for water rights. One reason for this is that the market for real estate is much larger than for water. According to the best available database of water transactions, we calculated that from 1987-2008 approximately $4.3 billion was spent purchasing water in the western US (see paper or access dataset). In July of this year alone, $40.68 billion was spent in the western US in home purchases (calculations based on data from the National Association of Realtors).
However, size is not the only reason for the relative paucity of data on water markets. The prices of real estate sales are made public in most states, while the prices of water right sales are not. In Utah, home sale prices are not public, which seems inefficient, but realtors do maintain databases, so when I look at a home with a realtor, I can access its sale price history, and the price history of similar homes. It is straightforward to answer questions like: How much are other three bed/two bath homes in this neighborhood going for? Robust markets provide three functions: price discovery, liquidity, and the reduction of transaction costs. Even though homes are complicated assets with high transaction costs, housing markets provide all three functions. Water markets do not.
Water, like real estate, is titled and transfers are regulated by the state. I suspect that in the past water rights were of too little value to make the types of public disclosure rules that exist for real estate worthwhile. But in many areas in the west facing growing water scarcity, this may no longer be true. When a family makes a decision to upgrade to a larger home, they can quickly and easily figure out what it will cost and if they can afford it. If buyers of water for people, farms, and the environment could find market values as quickly and easily, the debate over water allocation might move away from assigning blame and towards determining feasibility and cost. | <urn:uuid:980b9719-e67c-4bf5-a603-54083f1a94c9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ericcedwards.com/post/2015/09/09/markets-for-real-estate-and-water-rights | 2020-09-29T15:00:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.970723 | 557 |
Plunging yields on Portugal’s 10-year sovereign bonds have also been a boon for PGAL and the country’s ability to tap international debt markets.
“This reflects domestic economic developments, in the context of a broader market rally across the region. Portugal has used these improved market conditions to conduct a number of successful bond exchanges and issuances, smoothing the profile for future debt payments and building a substantial cash buffer,” according to the IMF.
The yield on Portuguese 10 years closed at 3.63% last Friday, down from a high 16.4% at the end of 2011. [PIIGS ETFs Soar]

There are many benefits to hosting your law firm in the cloud. From the enhanced security to improved compliance, more cost control to better collaboration, law firms in the cloud are more productive, less reliant on IT, and simply better for their employees.
While our last blog touched on the importance of collaboration between attorneys, today’s blog is focused on the concept of portability and why it’s so important that you have anytime, anywhere access to the applications you use every day.
The Modern Law Firm: Accessing Applications Securely
More diverse and faster than ever, today’s legal professionals can’t be tethered to an office. Knowing this, it pays to enable to do your employees to do more—no matter where they are, how they need to access their applications, or what devices they use:
A Need for Portability
Today’s law firm is broader than ever. Say an attorney needs a document from the courthouse or at home. Traditionally, this would require him or her to either request something via email, go back to the office to put the file on a flash drive, or at best—set up a VPN and virtual desktop, hoping everything stays up and that this is the latest version of the document. Two of these three options aren’t secure and all three are inconvenient compared to the modern access available via the cloud.
According to a recent survey from FlexJobs, work from home policies are contributing to more productivity, citing fewer distractions (75%), fewer interruptions from colleagues (74%), reduced stress from commuting (71%), and minimal office politics (65%) as the main reasons employees have become more productive.
Many attorneys aren’t able to simply “disconnect” from their workday, and it’s important that employers do provide access to applications for employees. Gone are the days where a late night at the office is a late night at the office.
This allows your team to be more productive while still getting the chance to be with their families while reducing the amount of time spent commuting to the office and feeling more freedom.
How Cloud Hosting Offers You the Ability to Work Anywhere
When you host your applications in the cloud, you give your attorneys, paralegals, and more easy and secure access to the applications they need by simply logging into a browser. Wherever they are, whenever they need it, your employees are given the power to do more—whether it’s at the client’s location a home office, or the courthouse.
Cloud Hosting with Flywire
If you need to gain access to your documents and applications from anywhere (and you know you do), the cloud is your secure and easy to use solution.
Flywire’s services run from any internet connected device. You can work from your desktop computer and pick up on your smart phone or tablet exactly where you left off if you choose to leave the office. Flywire gives you the flexibility to work remotely.
For some clients, our services allow for the elimination of a physical office altogether. Flywire lets you enjoy the work-life balance of your choosing without losing productivity.
Don’t just take it from us, take it from one of our many our satisfied clients:
“We have used the services of Flywire Technology for well over a year now, and they have made our work lives so much easier. The employees in our firm are able to work via computer or tablet, anytime and anywhere. Adding new employees or software to the network is as simple as a telephone call and Flywire’s technical support and responsiveness has been outstanding. I would highly recommend their services to anyone thinking about moving to a cloud network!”

While the U.S. has become the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide, Russia now has the most confirmed cases of novel coronavirus infection in Europe and those charged with treating people who are suffering as a result of the disease are dying as a result of exposure. Per a report from The New York Times, citing a memorial web site honoring health care workers who have died after becoming infected, at least 180 doctors, nurses, paramedics, and others have succumbed to the virus.
However, many more have been infected.
A department head at one of Moscow’s top hospitals told the Times that 75 percent of their department’s staff was sick. Meanwhile, St. Petersburg Gov. Alexander Beglov said on Wednesday that 1,465 health care workers in his city have become infected, which accounts for more than one in six of St. Petersburg’s confirmed cases. Hospitals have been similarly affected across the nation, according to Russia’s health minister Mikhail Murashko.
Murashko said on Wednesday that some 400 Russian hospitals had suffered coronavirus outbreaks. Per The New York Times’ report, medical workers in the country have faced issues common to hospitals that are attempting to combat the virus around the world, including a shortage of personal protective equipment. Health care workers have also criticized the Russian government’s preparedness and response to the pandemic, as well as that of their hospital’s administrators.
Whatever the cause, a seemingly disproportionate number of health care workers in Russia have died following exposure to the virus. As shared by The New York Times, at least 275 health and social care workers have died in the United Kingdom, for example. However, that total is out of approximately 30,000 deaths — an exponentially higher death toll than that of Russia at this juncture.
On the whole, Russia has become the new epicenter of the pandemic in Europe. Per a Thursday report by The Moscow Times, Russia confirmed nearly 10,000 new coronavirus infections on May 14. As a result, the country’s grand total eclipsed the 250,000 mark. That figure ranks second worldwide, trailing just the U.S. in total case numbers.
There have also been a reported 2,305 deaths related to COVID-19 since the crisis began.
Nevertheless, Russian President Vladimir Putin seemingly shares U.S. President Donald Trump’s enthusiasm for reopening, having ordered an end to a nationwide lockdown in his own country earlier this week.
For his part, Trump has sought to aid Putin and Russia as the pandemic takes hold in the nation. As previously reported by The Inquisitr, the president recently announced that his administration had come to terms on a deal to send ventilators to Russia following a phone call with Putin. Trump critics have derided the president’s move to aid Russia, citing continued shortages with U.S. borders. | <urn:uuid:c37d34e2-05f7-4507-809c-148347205105> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.inquisitr.com/6053662/russian-doctors-succumbing-covid/ | 2020-09-29T14:30:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.97515 | 602 |
We are now very familiar with Japanese characters and franchises appearing on special trains. From Hello Kitty to Evangelion, and Pikachu, train operators frequently use tie-ups to promote regional travel. (And don’t forgot those Star Wars passenger planes from ANA.)
But it is also not unusual to do this with foreign franchises and characters, such as Thomas the Tank Engine.
And so, perhaps inevitably, now we have a Mickey Mouse Shinkansen.
Formally known as the JR Kyushu Waku Waku Trip Shinkansen, the six-carriage Mickey Mouse bullet train service will run in Kyushu from May 17th for an as-yet unspecified period of time from Hakata (Fukuoka) through Kumamoto and Kagoshima.
The “wrapping” on the carriages show Mickey enjoying famous attractions in Kyushu like hot springs and watermelons. The interior is also Mickey-themed on the seats and there is also plenty of merchandise available only from vendors on board or at stops along the line, including pouches and a special Plarail toy train (available from July 18th).
So join Mickey this summer for a “waku waku” (exciting) trip down to Japan’s southern island. | <urn:uuid:aca610b5-814c-440a-b661-78db43d2fb6e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.japantrends.com/mickey-mouse-shinkansen-bullet-train-kyushu-japan/ | 2020-09-29T14:07:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.935674 | 265 |
Minnesota residents may have more concerns after the Trump administration ended a year-long federal rulemaking process aiming at a standardized approach to sleep apnea for truck drivers and railroad workers. Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder that prevents sufferers from achieving restful sleep. It can lead to drowsy driving or even sleeping behind the wheel in some cases.
Because of the danger posed by drowsy truck drivers or train engineers responsible for massive vehicles with the potential to cause severe injuries for many people, the Department of Transportation has been considering making a uniform federal screening rule for the disorder. However, in August 2017, the agency announced that it will no longer seek a standard regulation and believes that current programs are appropriate.
Many people who suffer from sleep apnea do not know that they have the disorder and thus are not receiving treatment. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has urged a national screening rule since 2009, noting that sleep apnea has been a factor in at least 10 accidents investigated by the board. The NTSB expressed disappointment that the agencies have withdrawn the development of new rules.

Sleep apnea can be a major threat. A sleepy train engineer could be responsible for serious injuries and even deaths of many others if they doze off while operating such a large vehicle. People who have suffered injuries as a result of a fatigued railroad worker may want to meet with a personal injury attorney to see what legal remedies might be available. | <urn:uuid:9f8f2ea7-abbd-4f6d-b6be-807eb7d51d6e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.jeffjoneslawoffice.com/blog/2017/08/federal-agencies-cancel-potential-rule-on-apnea-screening/ | 2020-09-29T14:12:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96629 | 313 |

Learn about opportunities for SFU faculty, students, and staff to work with SFU Library Digital Publishing to publish open access journals using Open Journal Systems.
Creating a new open access journal
The Digital Publishing team at SFU Library can help faculty and students who are interested in creating an open access journal. Open access, and knowledge mobilization, are represented in both the SFU and SFU Library strategic visions.
Anyone with a current SFU affiliation can publish a journal with SFU Library. This includes students (both undergraduate and graduate), faculty, and student groups/associations.
- Step 1: Review our new journal checklist for considerations and important decisions about your new journal.
- Step 2: Complete the SFU Library Digital Publishing Terms and Conditions form
- Step 3: Contact us with some details about your journal, based on the checklist from Step 1, and your signed Terms and Conditions form from Step 2
- Step 4: A librarian from the Digital Publishing team will contact you with any questions we have before getting started. Once we agree that we are ready to launch the journal, the Digital Publishing librarian will set up the journal in OJS and email you a link to your new journal. At this point you can begin setting up your new journal and website with support from the Digital Publishing librarian.
Getting started with OJS
Simon Fraser University Library uses Open Journal Systems (OJS), open source journal management platform developed by the Public Knowledge Project, to host your open access journal. OJS assists with every stage of the refereed publishing process, from submissions through to online publication and indexing.
A librarian from the Digital Publishing team can meet with you to help you set-up your journal in OJS.
The following resources may also be useful in becoming familiar with the OJS software:
- OJS Documentation: A visual guide to learning Open Journal Systems
- PKP School: Self-paced online courses on setting up a journal in OJS, the OJS editorial workflow, becoming an editor or reviewer, etc.
Creating a course journal
Course journals are online, open access academic journals published as part of a for-credit academic class.
The Digital Publishing team has worked with course instructors in English Literature, Publishing, World Literature, and Gender Sexuality and Women's Studies to showcase student work and involve students in the publishing process using Open Journal Systems.
We are always looking for new opportunities to work with SFU instructors to publish journals as part of our course in any discipline. If you're interested in trying this in your class, please get in touch!
Why publish a journal in your course?
Course journals are an example of Open Pedagogy, in that they engage students as creators of information by involving them in contributing, editing, and publishing content. Course journals move away from a "disposable essay" that will be read by the professor and/or TA only. This provides learning opportunities for critical thinking, communication, information literacy, and citation/intellectual property - skills that will help students in other classes and throughout their lives.
As an assignment, course journals provide an opportunity to develop and/or strengthen skills such as writing, critical thinking, research, editing, and giving and responding to feedback. Depending on the model (see below) students may publish their own work in the journal, where it can be widely read. Students may also work together to decide aspects of the journal such as author rights, Creative Commons licensing, and what type of content will be published.
The electronic nature of the journal means that students can submit work beyond the traditional text based assignment, though supplementary material may be required with items like art, podcasts, videos, music, etc.
Librarians are available to speak to your class about scholarly publishing and writing for publication, as well as topics such as:
- Open access and subscription based publishing
- Intellectual property and author rights
- Privacy and concerns around openness
- The different forms of scholarly content
- Participating in peer review and the different peer review models
Creating a student journal
Student journals are academic journals run primarily by a student body. They may publish content produced by faculty, students, or the general public, and they may be run in collaboration with faculty, library staff, associations, or university administration.
Working on a student journal is a great way to build writing and editing skills, while becoming familiar with the scholarly publishing process.
For student authors, having something published is a way to have your voice heard and represented. Additionally, having an article published in a peer reviewed, open access journal is great on your resume or CV -- especially if you plan on continuing your studies through graduate school.
Who can start a student journal?
Any group of undergraduate or graduate students at SFU can start a student run journal. These journals can be published within a faculty/discipline (e.g. SFU Educational Review), as interdisciplinary (e.g. Intersectional Apocalypse), or by a student association/group (e.g. Confluence).
Check out some sample student journals published through SFU Digital Publishing.
Student journal toolkit
PKP has created a Student Journal Toolkit with everything you need to know about getting started with publishing a student journal.
Flipping an existing journal to open access
Publishing your journal open access will help you reach a wider audience and will facilitate the spread of knowledge around the world. All journals and monographs published by Digital Publishing at SFU Library are made fully open access.
If you are currently managing a subscription journal, the Digital Publishing team can work with you to flip your journal to open access and host your content with the Library. Contact us to learn more!
Check out these additional resources on flipping a journal to open access:
- Tips for journal editors transitioning to open access and the role of mega-journals in the publishing landscape, an interview with Duncan MacRae (senior publisher for Medicine)
- Flipping, not Flopping: Converting Subscription Journals to Open Access, a Scholarly Kitchen article by Alice Meadows

By Janet Wight
For many years I had read articles about the world’s largest annual gathering of sandhill
cranes, which takes place from mid-February to early April in central Nebraska. The idea of seeing thousands of cranes at one time intrigued me. I was determined to witness this migration for myself. It was not until our daughters had graduated from high school, however, that my husband, Jeremy, and I had the opportunity to plan this trip.
Last March, we drove to Audubon’s Nebraska Crane Festival in Kearney to see these magnificent birds up close.
Jeremy grew up in Baraboo, Wis., which is the home of the International Crane Foundation (ICF). We had visited the ICF many times over the years and enjoyed learning about all 15 species of cranes. Since 11 of these species are endangered, it was hard for us to envision the enormous number of “lesser” (smaller) sandhill cranes that gather along the Platte River in Nebraska each year. It wasn’t until I started planning our trip that I noticed the website for the festival. It offered many opportunities to view the cranes, along with concurrent sessions where we would have the chance to learn even more about these birds and meet the “craniacs” (crane enthusiasts) who run the event. We registered for the festival and several field trips about two months in advance.
Kearney is a one-day drive from St. Paul. Stopping along the way in Omaha’s Old Market is highly recommended. This charmingly restored neighborhood, complete with cobblestone streets, is located just south of downtown. It is home to many unique restaurants and shops.
Kearney is the type of small city that people tend to drive past while traveling on Interstate 80, but it has several attractions of its own. These include the Museum of Nebraska Art, the Archway Monument and the Classic Car Collection. We were so busy with all the Crane Festival activities that we didn’t move our car during the four days we were there. (Some festival attendees flew into Lincoln and rented a car for the two-hour drive west to Kearney, which is a good time-saving option.)
We were uncertain what to expect once we arrived in Kearney, but we hit the ground running with a half-day birding tour, as well as morning and evening crane viewing sessions. We shivered in bird blinds located on the grounds of Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary and witnessed the spectacle unfolding on Platte River sandbars immediately in front of us. With 400,000 sandhill cranes in the area, the sky was brimming with thousands of birds, collectively producing thunderous calls, as they took off in flight just after dawn or arrived prior to sunset. We marveled at the organization and coordination displayed by the cranes as they collectively decided when to commence and conclude their days, which were primarily dedicated to feeding on corn left behind in the surrounding fields
Although the cranes were undoubtedly the main draw of the festival, the concurrent sessions held their own intrigue. It was difficult to decide which presentations to attend since there were three compelling options for each time slot. The choices included such diverse topics as learning how to distinguish birdcalls, the impact power-line design has on bird populations, and migrating with cranes by volunteering at festivals. (It was similar to attending seminars in college but without homework or tests.) These presentations provided excellent fodder for conversation when attendees were milling around in the lobby or gathering for outings or meals. There were also several inspirational speakers, including actress and author Jane Alexander, who is a member of the Audubon board of directors.
Another enjoyable aspect of the festival was becoming acquainted with our fellow crane enthusiasts. Even introverts had little hesitation engaging in conversations with strangers, since there was so much to talk about. Some participants were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about birds, and cranes in particular, while others knew very little. They were there simply to witness the impressive migration. Enthusiasts traveled from every corner of the United States to attend the festival, but the majority of attendees were from the Midwest. Some people have been traveling to the annual festival for decades. Others, like us, stumbled across the website and decided to give it a try.
We stayed at the Kearney Holiday Inn, the festival’s hotel headquarters.
There are also several other modern hotels within walking distance. There were a variety of field trips to choose from; most people participated in at least one of these offerings. Overall, the crane festival was an enjoyable, informative and economical vacation.
If you are interested in having a unique experience, witnessing an amazing spectacle, or meeting an intriguing group of like-minded individuals, you should consider attending Audubon’s Nebraska Crane Festival.

As our team overcame the movement and start-up activities, a pattern surfaced: Posting listings: coincided our company were actually made use of to. Generating embed sign up packages: it was the very same. Establishing an initiative: same. Individualizing the email list content( completely to the photo publisher ): very same. Booking recurring delivers: same.we can go on. Our experts already knew what our experts were actually doing coming from the outset. A few points performed attack us as different on MailerLite during the course of our profile set-up, inasmuch as our company realize at the very least, as well as they were as follows., MailerLite has a factor referred to as” subscriber groups” that need to be posted before building an embed carton or publishing existing clients. So say you wish a sign up package simply for your sidebar, you will to begin with create a group phoned” [X].
Sidebar” and after that when making the kind you ‘d click a package to reference this group. It is actually just slightly opportunity consuming to prepare up if you wish one for every single circumstances of your register carton( our experts have five on each site), yet is an excellent means to help keep an eye on where your subscribers are actually arising from. When sending out a project you may send out a newsletter out to the teams one at a time, or your whole entire checklist( our company carry out the second, naturally)., MailerLite lets you arrange your clients based on a variety of parameters consisting of # of e-mails sent out, # opened, # clicked on, and register date. Our company foresee this one being incredibly helpful a year or so later on when we reach a new fee amount as well as can easily experience as well as purge individuals that’ve been actually on our checklists for a year and also never ever opened a singular email. Therefore if our company specified it at three blog posts, our latest three messages are going to walk out weekly. Yet if we limit it to just new blog posts, approximately 3 messages given that participating in MailerLite or the final RSS send out are going to walk out. This set is actually crucial to know due to the fact that our team started our campaign after posting our most recent posts for the full week, therefore when it came time for our 1st project to head out our team got an email that no bulletin was sent because our experts had no brand-new blog posts. We possessed to go in, override the preparing to deliver the three recent messages, and off it went.
After it headed out we got back in to our dash panel and also allowed the component to confine to simply new messages, published new content for the week, and also off our company went as designed. | <urn:uuid:9d257af4-6230-4d38-9f34-3006821b3463> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.pixelfabs.com/mailerlitereview/warranty-check-by-serial-number-email-marketing-mailerlite/ | 2020-09-29T14:10:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.951493 | 2,974 |
US department store chain Nordstrom is to open its first Nordstrom Local variant, which will act as a showroom where customers can buy a drink and relax but cannot take home any clothes. Instead they have to order them and wait for their chosen items to be delivered to their homes.
This follows the strategy employed by Bonobos and ModCloth in the US and Made.com in the UK. The great thing about these stores is that they do not have the aggravation of stock being regularly delivered and replenished etcetera. But what they really do for the pure-plays is give them a physical presence. They are more marketing propositions than anything else.
This is not exactly the required objective of a Nordstrom. It really does not need to boost its recognition and exposure. This raises the question of the full value of established retailers opening up small order-only outlets.
In contrast to the pure-plays, the likes of Nordstrom would traditionally have been giving their customers the instant gratification of being able to take their goods home immediately. This is what their customers have got used to. Bonobos and Made.com shoppers have never had the expectation of being able to do this.
But even for some online-only brands who have taken this showroom-type approach there can be issues in not enabling shoppers to take their goods home with them. Online sports goods retailer Pro-Direct Soccer opened a physical store in central London with the expectation that it would only allow customers to order its range of premium football boots and not hold any stock for take-home sales. But things didn’t quite work out that way and many younger shoppers wanted instant gratification and so changes had to be made to the proposition.
As an increasing amount of sales go online retailers have to recognise that one of the key aspects customers enjoy about the physical store experience is being able to walk out of the building with a bag containing their newly-acquired goods.

Remote learning and working from home has made it impossible to find affordable laptops. But don’t fret, you can still find a solid laptop alternative without blowing your savings. These laptop alternatives are perfect for remote work or online schooling, and unlike used laptops, they actually come with manufacturer’s warranties.
None of these products are a 1:1 replacement for your laptop. You’re going to lose something here, whether it’s portability, screen size, or ease of use. But you won’t go over your budget, you won’t miss out on any Zoom meetings, and you may come out with a machine that’s faster and more reliable than any laptop you’ve ever used.
More Bang for Your Buck: Don’t Fear the Desktop PC!
Shopping for a desktop computer is a bit intimidating, especially if you’ve only ever owned a laptop. But don’t worry, you aren’t going to end up with “the wrong computer” or “a slow computer” or anything like that. Desktop computers offer better performance than laptops at a much lower price, and they’re easier to set up at a desk than you might expect.
Still, you can’t just buy a desktop tower and call it a day. You need to put together a bunch of products, including a computer monitor, a keyboard, and a webcam. Here’s everything you’ll need to enjoy the desktop experience (along with some money-saving tips):
- Specs: Buy a computer with an Intel Core or AMD Ryzen processor and at least 8 GB of RAM. (An Intel Pentium processor is acceptable if you’re strapped for cash.) Internal storage is a personal preference, although your computer will feel a bit snappier if it has an SSD—just make sure it has enough space to handle everything you need. We recommend 256 GB at a minimum for SSDs.
- Monitor: You can use any computer monitor or TV with a desktop PC. If you aren’t comfortable dropping $100 on a new computer monitor, then pop into your local Goodwill and buy one for $10 or $15. You can also find a used monitor for around $50 on eBay.
- Webcam: Need a webcam for Zoom or Google Meet? You can still find cheap webcams at Best Buy and Amazon. You can also use a digital camera, smartphone, tablet, or anything with a built-in camera in place of a webcam.
- Keyboard & Mouse: Desktop PCs usually come with a keyboard and mouse. If yours doesn’t, you can buy a cheap pair on Amazon or splurge on a wireless keyboard and mouse. You could also pop into Goodwill for a cheap keyboard and mouse.
You shouldn’t have much trouble finding a new Intel Core or AMD Ryzen PC with 8GB RAM in the $300 to $400 price range. If you need something cheaper than that, you could always buy a computer with a slower Intel Pentium or Intel Celeron processor for around $200. You could also buy a pre-owned, refurbished, or open-box PC from Best Buy (Refurbished Dell Optiplex PCs are a popular choice and come with a 90-day warranty).
Some people may suggest buying an all-in-one PC instead of a standalone desktop tower. And while all-in-one PCs include all the accessories you need to play Roblox or start a Zoom meeting, they can be a bit overpriced. What they lack in bang-for-your-buck, they make up in simplicity because everything is included. That also makes them a decent choice if you don’t have a lot of space—the most affordable all-in-one PCs that fit our hardware suggestions start at $650.
Acer Aspire TC-885-UA91 Desktop, 9th Gen Intel Core i3-9100, 8GB DDR4, 512GB SSD, 8X DVD, 802.11AC Wifi, USB 3.1 Type C, Windows 10 Home,Black
The Acer Aspire TC-885-UA91 packs an Intel Core CPU, 8GB RAM, a speedy SSD, and even a USB-C port! It's a solid, modern desktop computer for under $500.
Use a Raspberry Pi 4 as a Cheap Desktop Computer
If you’re ambitious, tech-savvy, or outrageously frugal, then you should try using a Raspberry Pi as a desktop computer. The new Raspberry Pi 4 starts at just $35 but packs a two Micro HDMI ports for dual-4K monitor setups, a gigabit Ethernet port for speedy internet, four USB ports, and a desktop-ready CPU.
The Pi 4’s Broadcom BCM2711 SoC can’t run Windows, but it’s perfect for Raspbian—a lightweight port of the popular Debian desktop environment. The average person shouldn’t have any trouble using a Raspberry Pi for everyday tasks, like homework, Minecraft, or Zoom calls, though you may need to watch some tutorials to get things set up. You also need to own a computer monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and a MicroSD card in order to use the Pi 4. (Again, you can buy most of these things from Goodwill for cheap if you’re having a hard time finding any of them).
The Pi 4 is available with 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB of RAM. The more affordable 2 and 4GB variants are fine for regular desktop use, while the 8GB option may prove best for people who like to multitask, edit photos, or open 100 browser tabs at a time. You can buy Raspberry Pi as just the board, but we recommend going for a full kit. It will include everything you need, including a case and SD card.
CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 8GB Extreme Kit - 128GB Edition (8GB RAM)
The Raspberry Pi 4 can stand in for a desktop computer with the Chrome browser and Zoom capabilities. It requires some tech know-how, but hey, it's frugal!
Try Using a Tablet or Smartphone
We spend most of our computer time in the browser. So it’s no surprise that tablets, and especially newer iPads and Samsung Tab devices, make for decent laptop stand-ins. Just fire up the browser, connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and get to work.
Any iPad running the latest version of iPadOS can stand in for your laptop. I suggest buying the new $330 iPad, although a cheap 2014 iPad Air 2 could get the job done just fine. As for Galaxy Tab devices, anything made after 2017, including the $280 Galaxy Tab A, should work well enough. That said, Android tablets lack the stability, app selection, and battery life of iPads—just something to keep in mind!
You could also use a smartphone as a laptop stand-in, although you probably won’t have much fun doing it. Most websites, including school pages like Canvas and Blackboard, work fine on a phone browser that’s set to “desktop only.” Newer Samsung devices have the upper hand here, as you can plug your phone into a computer monitor to take advantage of the desktop-like DeX mode (which is much more comfortable than your phone’s tiny screen).
Apple iPad (10.2-inch, Wi-Fi, 128GB) - Gold (Previous Model)?
When paired with a wireless mouse and keyboard, the iPad is a solid laptop replacement with a 10-hour battery.
Use Chrome OS or Linux to Revive an Old PC
Do you have a crappy old computer floating around your attic? Maybe it’s time to breathe life into that thing, at least until you can find a new laptop. Reinstalling Windows or freeing up a hard drive is usually enough to get an old PC back in shape, although it may still feel a bit sluggish if its hardware is out of date. In that case, you may want to replace the old computer’s operating system with something lightweight, like Chrome OS or a Linux distro.
If you’re familiar with Chrome OS (or you’re trying to set up a computer for your kid), then you should try installing Chromium OS on your old computer through CloudReady. Chromium OS is the open-source version of Google’s Chrome OS, and while it lacks the ability to run Android apps, it’s perfect for school or work.
An entry-level Linux distro like Ubuntu, Mint, or Fedora should also serve your needs, so long as you’re willing to type stuff in the terminal every now and then. Don’t worry, you don’t need to know how to “code” to use Linux, you may just need to look up tutorials on YouTube every once and awhile.
Bear in mind that these are free solutions to the “I can’t find a laptop” problem. Using Linux may sound like a nightmare (don’t knock it til you try it), but it’s better than going over-budget on a laptop for remote schooling. | <urn:uuid:37116a3a-2f52-40d2-92d4-c0792586b3e7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.reviewgeek.com/52355/cant-find-a-laptop-heres-what-to-use-for-work-or-school/ | 2020-09-29T13:45:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.907679 | 1,936 |

Sniper Elite 4 is a third-person shooter with first-person sniper aiming that retreads familiar ground for the series, but manages to carve new pathways in terms of new gameplay features to keep things fresh and exciting. Sniper Elite 4 is the 4th entry in the main series, and the 7th game in the Sniper Elite franchise that began in 2005. What makes this series special is the bullet cam, and in the sequels since, is the addition of the x-ray camera to accompany it. You’re shown your precise shot in all its bloody splendor. In that regard, Sniper Elite 4 does not disappoint. And for the most part, Sniper Elite 4 doesn’t manage to disappoint at any stage, but I am a bit concerned for the series going forward, as it’ll be hard to top being the best looking and feeling Sniper Elite yet. | <urn:uuid:ff2ff411-706a-4155-bfb7-23e6b2a4ed30> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.savingcontent.com/tag/se4/ | 2020-09-29T13:20:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.957789 | 178 |

So, I’ve reached that awkward stage in life where I am over qualified for all the positions I am applying for, and too under qualified, in the eye of the employer, to apply for the jobs I really should be seeking after. Funny how that works. I never dreamed of the day I would walk out of a job interview and not get offered the job on the spot. Well, since I’ve come to Utah, it has happened. MULTIPLE TIMES. What the heck Utah?! You know, you’re really not helping your cause. At all.
Because I have been having so much bad luck interviewing, I’ve decided to read it as sign. Time to get my dream business up and running! I requested a meeting/ counseling session with someone from the SBDC. I should be hearing back from them in three or less business days. Fingers crossed this works out guys!! Hopefully, before I know it I’ll have my own little modest clothing business up and running. And don’t worry, it won’t be like allllll the other ones out there. This one will be different, and less expensive, I promise.
And maybe, I’ll get my act together and start blogging for real. I keep saying I will. And then I don’t. I keep blaming it on a lack of content, or lack of good photos, and such things like that. But, if I had all of that then I would be just like every other blogger out there. So, I will start with this (and by this I mean nothing) and hopefully create something new, that is uniquely and unapologetically true to me. | <urn:uuid:4c807bcc-56eb-45b2-b0e8-f41fa5795ace> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.withkirstinamanda.com/post/2017/08/03/jobless-and-dreaming | 2020-09-29T13:20:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401643509.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20200929123413-20200929153413-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.960073 | 354 |

The disadvantage (on Windows) is of course that you get a very old
libavcodec with many known bugs that are not reproducible with FFmpeg.

I'm thrilled to be participating in the Prayer Flag Blog Hop. As you know, I love prayer flags and have made a number of them (see them here)
Here's what I created from the Prayer Flag Value pack, which included the ready made linen banners and the ebook
|purchase a copy of the Prayer Flag e-book!|
First I got out my trusty Gelli printing plates and rubber bands, to add a bit of color and texture to the linen flags
and grabbed some fabric that I had printed before using the same technique.
I cut out circles from the printed fabric and fused them to the printed flags.
Then, I cut out the images from my fabric yardage, with my designs (that you can purchase) and fused those to the flags.
I wanted to build up a layered background on the flags.
Lastly, I stamped some meaningful words and phrases on the flags.
I plan on finishing my prayer flags with a little bit of hand stitching when I have time.
And please do visit The Prayer Flag Project blog, to upload your own prayer flags, or just be inspired and uplifted by others. | <urn:uuid:10f626d6-0bed-4e06-81be-2713fb04d986> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://janeville.blogspot.com/2014/04/prayer-flag-blog-hop.html | 2020-10-01T01:54:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402130531.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930235415-20201001025415-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.936196 | 236 |
Other than stuff like.. Cricket… Pakistaniat… Food and etcetra being in my blood as a Pakistani, coming from my mum and dad’s side, hyderbadi-ism I believe is just as much a part of me!
I’ve grown up eating khatti daal, mirchiyon ka salan, double ka mittha, kachi yakhni ki buryani, baghare begann, timaate ki chatni, khubaani ka mitthaa, home-made achhaarz and God! Lots of goodies and more made by my grandmothers, mumma and aunt!
I love how wearing a saree was as easy as putting on a T with a casual pair of jeans for ammi and bibi..
the natural pattern of speech my mum and my aunt, and even my dad and uncles have.. it’s not just Hyderabadi to the core! It’s just lovable! 🙂
Just wanted to share a couple of hilarious videos here showing the way hyderabadi mums kinda get mad at their kids for my family and hyderabadi friends to enjoy 😉
Go Hyderbadi-ism! 🙂 | <urn:uuid:88e152b2-4fa5-44d6-a2d0-60213757c201> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://sarazpace.com/2012/02/18/hyderabadi-ism/ | 2020-10-01T00:37:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402130531.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930235415-20201001025415-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.922572 | 253 |
People are sharing photos and stories from high school dances.
I thought I would put a 2012 spin on my 1988 junior high school prom.
Here's a tweet, if there had been Twitter back then:
Prom date works at flower shop. Can you tell? Dancing night away w/ #friend @BrotherWaylon #verycasual #havingfun
I attended Junior Prom with a friend I met at an FBLA camp — that's Future Business Leaders of America. Oh, I had so much fun traveling around the state of Georgia attending competitions, camps and conferences in high school. It was a great way to get out of the comfort bubble of my small hometown and meet new people. I met my friend and future prom date Brother Waylon (I can't remember why we called him Brother. I did live in the South).

DYNAMIC MINDFULNESS is TRULY HOLISTIC!
Click the image below for full scale view
HOLISTIC MINDFULNESS - AN OVERVIEW OF THE PEAK EXPERIENCES
TIME PRESSURES? - DIFFICULTY GETTING TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE?
Our Mind-Created sense of "Who I Am" (self-identity, personality) is the main source of our insecurities and issues! Step out of the big drama of "Me and My Life" to find a more secure sense of who you are...
How??.......In STILLNESS we discover who we REALLY are, and can then REDUCE our exhausting and time-consuming games of analysing, labelling, judging and controlling the world around and inside us. We then experience "simply being" - in this experience ["PRESENCE"] we find the peace, stability, beauty, wonder, magic, joy and love that our mind can never give us!
Why reduce your life to either 'AUTOPILOT LIVING' or 'THOUGHTS & OPINIONS ABOUT THINGS'? These can never bring you the deep, fulfilling and sustainable joy and fulfilment that you yearn for. Only through physically, emotionally, spiritually and sensually living in the full flow of the present moment can your passionate and loving heart be warmed, your soul nourished, and your life's purpose found and fulfilled!

Sequence of Operation
After batteries pass the hole punching and elements insertion stations, this
Electric Welder & Short Circuit Testing machine receives this battery from the customer's conveyor line onto the driven conveyor that deliver this battery into the gate. From this gate,
the battery is conveyed to the welding heads (grips) are automatically lowered and raised into the welding
position to process the required number of welds. The battery is automatically relocated on weld sequences and the battery is conveyed to next operating station.
The last operating station -- short circuit testing; once testing process is completed, and if short circuit is found or (and) the welding condition is no good on process, the machine will detect the problem and the battery is conveyed to the end of machine and rejected. A selection switch for "X" mode (car cell layout) or "Y" mode (Truck cell layout) is mounted on the control box. On 12V (Below 120AH) car battery, in the "X" mode of operation, the machine will process sequentially five welds. The first weld head can change to operation direction to weld the first hole of one side 3 locations, the next 2 holes will process by second weld head continuously, and then the other side 2 locations will be welded by other head. On 12V (120AH-200AH) truck size batteries, in the "Y" mode of operation, the one "Y" model weld is preceded first and then one "X" mode head lower and weld 2 locations at one side, then the another head will lower and weld 2 locations at other side. After the completion of the welding sequence, the battery is conveyed to final testing station for short circuit testing process; if any bad welding or short circuit condition was detected, the next process of the battery will be save and machine pass the battery to reject area; upon completion of all process, the finished battery will be pass along the line of travel to the customer's output conveyor.
It is equipped with the SCR system of high quality and capacity. It is equipped with the micro-computer system of constant current, which can control the input of current accuracy by the current compensation when the voltage of power supply is not stable, so that can reduce the occurrence of bad welding. It is equipped with the monitor which will be alarmed and blink if the welding condition is no good. It is easy to set the welding terms in the weld controller. The moving height of the welding head is adjustable for saving the operating time and increasing the working efficiency. It is equipped the cooling water system with safety system to reduce the damage of machine and increase the life of machine. If the cooling water is not enough, the machine will be stopped automatically. The microcomputer is equipped with the memory backup system which can store the data for reusing in future. It is suitable to weld the thru-the partition intercell of all types of automotive battery. Its pressure system equipped with a safety system. If the pressure is not enough, this machine will be stopped and alarmed automatically. It is to adjust the testing voltage. (Max.: 2000V)

Extra info for Dynamics of Technological Change
The nature of corporations, their objectives, incentives, structure, and strategic posture are therefore important components of the determinants of technological change. The way corporations carry on their business, choose their products or services, interact with labor and government, and organize their activities has a great deal to do with the degree of success with which they initiate or accommodate change. Strategic decisions can determine whether or not a particular technology will be pursued at all; R&D budgets and projects define the future course of their innovations; their organization and internal culture affects their propensity and efficiency for innovation.
The success of a technological society depends on the existence of large numbers of people with the appropriate education and expertise to create, discover, invent, test, manufacture, and service sophisticated systems and products. Technological change is therefore strongly influenced by the availability of such people. The first group that comes to mind is the engineers, who indeed are usually the ones most intimately instrumental in technological change. In the modem world, they generally draw on a large base of science for their work.
Some of these will lead to changes in the technology. But the principle of immanent change must mean more than this for a technological society. Change is immanent directly and by design; it is part of the process of technology and the basis of the economy. The reinvestment of a portion of the national product and the large expenditures on innovation are only two aspects of this. The idea of immanent change simply means that a system changes because of its own properties that determine its own course of evolution.

Way in the woods. I’m talking a 34 minute drive down a one lane, winding dirt road. After a little bit of
driving you start to think, “Did I miss a turn somewhere? Am I on the right road?” And then, there it is. This perfect cabin tucked away in the Nantahala National Forest. Yes, I said a National Forest!
This “what else could you possibly ever want” cabin belongs to Reed and Karen Ingram, and I was a fortunate soul to be invited up for the weekend. I met Karen a couple of years ago at my shop when she needed Roman shades and bedding made for the cabin, and I will have to say, she did a fantastic job decorating their little slice of heaven! Reed is the Montgomery County Commissioner for District 5, and along with Karen, owns Reed Ingram Motors on the Eastern Bypass.
Nantahala means “Land of the Noonday Sun”. The Nantahala River runs through the narrow and steep gorge and in most places the sun reaches the ground only when it is directly overhead during the middle of the day. On this beautiful crystal clear river there are Trout and during the fall, the Salmon run up the river. Yes, Salmon! In the 1950’s or the 1960’s, the North Carolina Department of Wildlife Resources stocked the Nantahala Lake with Kokanee Salmon. In the fall the salmon make the run from the lake, up the river and ending in the Standing Indian Wilderness Area. The only time you can see the salmon is when the sun is shining on the river, and that is a very limited time frame. The whole river where they run is private, so unless you own property on the river or know someone that does there will be no grilled salmon for you.
As you know, I prefer the mountains over the beach, and at this time of year I like to be in them. I usually go to Cheaha or DeSoto State Park in Alabama and I “OOOOH and AHHH” over the colors of the leaves. I hate to admit it but, they have nothing over the colors in North Carolina. I was awestruck, and I took over 200 pictures in a day and a half. I just couldn’t get enough of the vibrant colors on the mountains.
I won’t go into detail about the food, surprising, I know but, I will say Karen and Reed know how to make you feel welcome and at home. With Reed doing the majority of the cooking, (it was a girl’s weekend for Karen, Christy and I and we had a personal chef!) there was food on the table every time you turned around. And good food at that!
The time went by too fast once again with a day at a Craft Fest in Franklin, 4-wheeling through the mountains and across the river, pictures, pictures, pictures, more food and new friends, I really couldn’t ask for more. I got up early Sunday morning to head back and I caught the sun coming up over the mountains. That scene took my breath away and I decided to take the back roads at a leisure pace as far as I could before hitting the interstate outside of Atlanta.
It was a great weekend that I will not forget, and once again, thank-you, thank-you, thank-you, Reed and Karen! | <urn:uuid:2978bfa3-1ce6-4696-858e-a74eac0ba021> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://backtraxamerica.com/food/a-cabin-in-the-woods/ | 2020-10-01T01:16:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402130531.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200930235415-20201001025415-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.955295 | 710 |
The cocoa of Peru was declared in 2012 "natural heritage of the nation". Peru is not a major producer of cocoa in terms of volume, but its cocoa is of the highest quality.

Do Away Irksome YouTube Channels For Good!
YouTube is a house for gobs of great videos and a lot of them are ideal for kids to watch. They can explore the video-sharing platform to watch educational videos, listen to music, and have a laugh. But what if their simple search for ‘funny cat videos’ take a wrong turn? No matter how much you try to monitor what your little one watches, but you can’t certainly be present every single second.
That’s where you’re required to use YouTube Parental Controls to set restrictions & block inappropriate channels.
How To Set YouTube Parental Controls On Desktop?
Limit what your kids watch by using the Restricted Mode feature; this can effectively be used as a great parental control to manage your child’s content experience.

STEP 2- Once you’re landed on your dashboard, click on the Profile icon, located at the top-right corner.
STEP 3- Toggle on the Restricted Mode, it is located at the bottom of the menu.
STEP 4- Click on the Lock Restricted Mode button also, this would prevent your kid from turning off the safety mode. YouTube wants to be sure that you want to activate the restricted mode, so it would verify your approval by asking your ID & Password again.
YouTube will be restricted to deliver inappropriate content from now on!
Setting YouTube Parental Controls on Browsers will not affect your account anywhere else. Hence, you’ll be required to turn Restricted Mode on other devices as well to filter the unsuitable content.
STEP 1- Launch YouTube app on your Android or iPhone. Sign in if you aren’t logged in already.
STEP 2- Go to your Profile icon located at the top-right corner and open the Settings menu.
STEP 3- You’ll be presented with a bunch of options to explore to modify your watching experience.
STEP 4- Tap on General > Toggle on Restricted Mode option to hide all the potential mature videos.
Remember YouTube’s Restricted Mode is not 100% accurate and relies on the part of users flagging content that might be inappropriate for kids.
For more security, you can even try blocking certain YouTube channels that might hamper your child’s experience.

STEP 2- Once you locate the desired channel, go to their main account page, by tapping on their account name.
STEP 3- Tap on the three-dot icon at the top-right corner and choose ‘Block User’ option.
Confirm that you’re sure to block the user & that’s all!
Bonus Tips To Filter Content On YouTube:
1. Try YouTube Incognito Mode

On the desktop, the process to enable Incognito is a little complicated. Start by going into your Watch History from the left-side menu > choose to Pause your watch history > this will make it difficult for users to tune your recommendation.
2. Control What Appears On YouTube Homepage
Your YouTube Homepage displays content that might interest you in the recent uploads or recommended videos. But these sections may include videos you never want to watch. at all!
To filter your Recommended feed > click on the three-dots icons next to the title of your video > choose the option ‘Not interested’. Next time, the particular channel will stop appearing in your recommended feed.
3. Use Third-Party Video Blocker
We have already seen How To Block a YouTube Channel on both desktop & mobile. But there can be times when you don’t feel like blocking the entire channel, instead just restricting specific videos. For the purpose, you can try using third-party Video Blocker extension. This would help you to manually add certain keywords or channels that might make your child’s watching experience worse.
