Working on several industry-changing client projects, diving into new trend studies every week and following many Twitter streams every day I also try to live 5 years ahead. I believe that’s important, both for myself and our clients. Recently I backed The Memoto lifelogging camera on Kickstarter – a small camera that takes a picture every 30 seconds and stores it in the cloud. I’m proud to be part of the first 1000 followers and I’m excited for my product-arrival.
If you are not familiar with lifelogging, it is the art of capturing your entire life, or at least large portions of it by taking pictures, recording sound around you, tracking keyboard hits and so on. Although lifelogging is not new, our lives are evolving around it more and more, even if you haven’t thought about it in the first place. Facebook timeline, Twitter streams, Runkeeper updates or just carrying your mobile around with you – all of these generate life-describing data – if you like it or not.
So a question I asked myself after my Kickstarter “contribution”:
In quest for the answer I have examined 4 topics I would like to share.
1. The power to control chaos
As a teenager I had my own dark room where I developed photos. All my photos (negatives) had little stickers with numbers attached and were stored in an access database, including tags to search for pictures when necessary. Because it was my favourite hobby, managing the system was fun. Looking back, it was an easy and modern solution for that time.
Moving to the digital era, my numbering-system has transformed into a well designed folder-structure on my computer. In the beginning, taking around 5000 pictures a year, my tag system was hard to keep up, but with tagging folders instead of pictures, and the help of Windows Explorer, I managed to handle the situation.
In 2005, my numbers were different. I took around 15,000 pictures a year and the situation got out of control. I reached the point where I couldn’t control the data I generated anymore. Fortunately Google’s Picasa was there, thanks to my fast-tagging shortkeys I ruled my chaos again.
With the Memoto Camera I entered a new era. Taking around 1,000,000 pictures a year I’m curious how they will manage my data. They promise a wide range of apps that will do so.
To sum up this little story, I think big data is not about the value of the single data pieces, but it’s about the value of the system behind it. The key which brings order in the chaos. The systems that not only generate data but also can manage it, will rule the future of the data business.
2. The redefinition of privacy
The problem with lifelogging is the “big brother” effect. In fact it’s not about capturing your life, it’s about capturing the life around you. Google’s Project Glass has already many parody movies that tackle this problem. A couple of my friends have already told me they wouldn’t feel that comfortable, knowing that 2 pictures will be taken every minute and stored in the cloud when I’m around them. This is where privacy control comes in. Online services are coming up to give data control back to the “owner”. But who is the owner anyway? Is it the one who records the data or the one who is part of it? I might not even be aware of number of random pictures that captured me by accident, for example in a party crowd. Maybe a lifelogging geek, who was sitting behind me in the train, has my whole phone-conversation now on his Dropbox. Do I like that? No! Can I do something about it? No! Stuff to think about …
3. Big data = big business
Taking a photo every minute generates tons of data. 4.5 terrabytes per year, to be precise. In the Memoto case we’re only considering pictures. Other lifelogging services include video and audio as well. So what will we do with all this data? Where will we store it? At this moment I pay $99 a year to have access to 100GB of online Dropbox-space, 500GB is available for $499. In terms of big data, 500GB is nothing. As I mentioned before, regarding big data, I don’t want to pay for the actual data itself. I want to pay for the control and access of it. How much are people willing to pay for such access? Will this change the value proposition of online hosting? Stuff to think about …
4. Travelling back in time
Couple of weeks ago I watched the sf-movie The Source Code, where a half-dead soldier has the ability to re-live the last 8 minutes before a train explosion so he can find a bomber. Bringing me back to lifelogging topic, this will be, in some way, possible in real life. Let me describe you a not-so-unrealistic situation in the future: Several people give online access to their geo-located pictures, which combined with date and hour can be merged into snapshots of the world. Imagine number of people in one place taking several snapshots from different angles at the same time. The outcome would be a rough 3D picture of a space or object. Not possible? Google earth’s historical imagery is already one small step in that direction. For the last time: Stuff to think about …
What is your take on this? Did you stumble upon any related startups or concepts lately? Feel free to reach out.

Iridescent (from Latin iris 'rainbow') Displaying a spectrum of luminous colors that shimmer and change due to interference and scattering as the observer's viewing angle changes.
Pearls, beetles, butterflies, cuttlefish and other cephalopods, hummingbirds, bornite, bismuth, soap bubbles, opals, DVDs and oil on wet pavement all exhibit iridescence caused by redirected light. Coloration caused by micro- or nano-structures is referred to as "structural color" and is a common cause of iridescence in the natural world.
I was fascinated by the diverse manifestations of iridescence in nature and by the physics of iridescence, which links color and structure. I was also struck by the poetry of it: it is only by looking at something from different angles that we fully appreciate its beauty and complexity. Iridescence contains textures that shimmer, or that were created with processes that parallel the diverse directions, angles, and fluctuations that produce iridescence.
Mike Barnett (b. 1968) | Ask The Wind (2006)
The eclectic career of Mike Barnett has transcended the boundaries of the traditional contemporary musician. In the 1970s and 80s, Art Rock ensembles such as Rush and Pink Floyd, and classically-influenced European Heavy Metal bands like Iron Maiden and King Diamond captivated Mike and led him to discover his penchant for the drum set. As a drummer and songwriter he has worked extensively with Heavy Metal bands that compose and record original music, appearing on many commercial recordings over the past 25 years. Mike earned the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1996 and Master of Arts degree in 1998, both in Music Composition, from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania. In 2004, he earned the Doctor of Musical Arts in Composition from the University of Colorado. Mike's compositions include several orchestral works, a piano concerto, a violin concerto, a work for wind ensemble, a chamber opera and dozens of chamber works, solo works and songs, many of which have been performed around the world by prominent musicians and major ensembles.
Most recently, Mike composed, recorded and released a full-length CD of original instrumental Metal/Jazz/Classical fusion with Stanley Chepaitis on electric violins, Nathan Santos on bass and the composer himself on drums. The project was released under the band name Terminal Degree and is titled The Middle of Nowhen. This unique music is available online in either physical form or digital download.
Mike currently lives in Boulder, Colorado where he maintains a multi-faceted career as a composer, performer, producer and educator.
Ask The Wind was composed at a time of great upheaval in my life. With a career shift from teaching to performing, several cross-country moves and the life of a traveling musician, I was inspired by the sentiment of a wistful breeze and compelled to tell people: "Ask the wind if it knows where it's going, but don't ask me."
Kyong Mee Choi (b. 1971) & Timothy Ernest Johnson (b. 1968) | Tensile Strength (2008)
Kyong Mee Choi, composer, organist, painter, and visual artist, received several prestigious awards and grants including John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, Robert Helps Prize, Aaron Copland Award, Illinois Arts Council Fellowship, First prize of ASCAP/SEAMUS Award, Second prize at VI Concurso Internacional de Música Eletroacústica de São Paulo, Honorary Mentions from Musique et d’Art Sonore Electroacoustiques de Bourges, Musica Nova, Society of Electroacoustic Music of Czech Republic, Luigi Russolo International Competition, and Destellos Competition. She was a Finalist of the Contest for the International Contemporary Music Contest "Citta' di Udine and Concurso Internacional de Composicai eletroacoustica in Brazil among others. Her music was published at CIMESP (São Paulo, Brazil), SCI, EMS, ERM media, SEAMUS, and Détonants Voyages (Studio Forum, France). Ravello records published her multimedia opera, THE ETERNAL TAO, which was supported by the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship and Roosevelt University. Aucourant Records published her CD, SORI, featuring her eight compositions for solo instrument and electronics. The project was supported by the IAS Artist Project Grant from the Illinois Arts Council. She is an Associate Professor of Music Composition at Roosevelt University in Chicago where she teaches composition and electro-acoustic music.
Timothy Ernest Johnson is a multifaceted creative/performing artist with a lifelong commitment to cultivating deeply engaging, substantive and moving artistic expression. As a composer he is known for music that integrates disparate materials into a multiplicity of expressive dimensions, most recently in a series of works partially based on historical chess games. His large ensemble work Kasparov vs Deep Blue was a finalist in the Alea III competition and Morphy vs Brunswick and Isouard won the University of Illinois Symphony Orchestra prize. His co-commissioned electronic work Tensile Strength received a prize in the International Electroacoustic Music Competition “Musica Nova” in the Czech Republic, and has been featured on two recordings. Johnson has had numerous other works performed in his native Chicago and abroad, and remains active as a classical guitarist, with recent recitals in South Korea and Chicago. As a painter his most recent showing was a 2013 exhibit of 41 of his watercolors at the High Cross Art Studio in Urbana, IL in a joint show with Kyong Mee Choi.
Tensile Strengthexplores the intersection of the harsh and the harmonious. The title refers to the amount of stress required to stretch a string to the point where it breaks. The piece is unique in that it is the result of a collaboration of two composers, each handling different aspects of the process. The primary sound material consists of violin samples processed in Bill Schottstaedt’s CLM synthesis language, in conjunction with Heinrich Taube’s Common Music composition environment. Tensile Strengthwas commissioned by Scott Wyatt in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Experimental Music Studios at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Charles Halka (b. 1982) | Por la Fuerza las Tierras (2010)
Charles Halka's music has been performed in North America, Europe, and Hong Kong by groups such as counter)induction (New York), Volti (San Francisco), ONIX Ensamble (Mexico), PRO ARTE eNsemble (Russia), Aquarius (Belgium), Duplum Dúo (Mexico), Jauna Muzika (Lithuania), and Pictures on Silence (Baltimore). As a 2008-09 Fulbright grantee, he spent a year in Vilnius, Lithuania researching Lithuanian music and writing an opera. The opera, Julius, received its premiere in 2010, and a choral excerpt from the opera, Dipukų Rauda, was performed at the ISCM World Music Days 2012 in Belgium. In 2011, Round and Round was premiered at the Coolidge Auditorium of the Library of Congress, and in 2013 a revised version was premiered in Hong Kong at the Intimacy of Creativity partnership led by Bright Sheng. Charles' orchestra work, Scherzo, was awarded Special Distinction in this year's ASCAP Foundation Rudolf Nissim Prize, and he recently completed a month-long residency at the M.K. Sarbievijaus Cultural Center in Kražiai, Lithuania, where he wrote a chamber opera (with a libretto by John Grimmett) for the Baltic Chamber Opera Theater. He is Artist-in-Residence at the Foundation for Modern Music (Houston).
Charles studied music in the United States, Russia, and Lithuania, and holds degrees in piano and composition from the Peabody Conservatory, where he studied piano with Brian Ganz and composition with Michael Hersch and Judah Adashi. He recently earned his DMA from Rice University's Shepherd School of Music, where he studied composition with Richard Lavenda, Kurt Stallman, Pierre Jalbert, and Arthur Gottschalk, and piano with Brian Connelly. Additionally, he studied privately with Samuel Adler through the FUBiS program in Berlin and participated in master classes with Bright Sheng, Christopher Thefanidis, and Kaija Saariaho. Previous teachers also include Osvaldas Balakauskas for composition and Stephen Drury, Nina Seryogina, and Roger Price for piano.
Por la Fuerza las Tierras, which translates to "[take] the lands by force," was commissioned in 2010 by flautist Alejandro Escuer and the Mexican ensemble ONIX Ensamble for its Viva Zapata! concert celebrating the centennial of the Mexican Revolution. As its title suggests, the work exhibits aggressive and relentless energy in passages of both struggle and celebration. After an extended moment of respite in the middle of the work, the music gradually gains momentum again and pushes energetically forward to the end. Given the occasion for which the work was written, both the rhythmic and melodic material are greatly indebted to various Mexican musical styles.
Sungji Hong (b. 1973) | Bisbiglio (2011)
Sungji Hong's music has been described as "a work of iridescent freshness" (BBC Music Magazine), "the sound is utterly luminous" (Fanfare Magazine), "it had fantasy, colour and drive" (Nottingham Evening Post), "outbursts of rhythmic energy" (The Irish Times), and "a virtuoso exploration of the technical and sonorous possibilities" (Daily Telegraph).
Her music has been performed in over 41 countries and 147 cities throughout Europe, the United States, and Asia. Her music has been widely broadcast in more than 17 countries (37 channels) and has been recorded and released on the Soundbrush, Elektramusic, Atoll, Dutton labels and by ECM Records.
Her creative output ranges from works for solo instruments to full orchestra, as well as choral, ballet, and electroacoustic music. Her works have been commissioned by the Fromm Music Foundation (Harvard University), the Tongyoung International Music Festival (Korea), the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra (Korea), the Keumho Asiana Cultural Foundation (Korea), the Foundation for University Sacred Music (USA), the International Isang Yun Music Society (Germany) and the MATA Festival (USA).
She has won the Franz Josef Reinl-Stifung (1st Prize), the Magistralia (1st Prize), the Seoul Spring Festival Composition Competition (1st Prize), the Jesus Villa-Rojo (1st Prize), the European Competition of the State Conservatory of Thessaloniki (1st Prize), the Temple Music Composition Prize (1st Prize), the Crwth Competition (1st Prize), the international competition for original ballet music at the ISCM World Music Days - Slovenia (1st Prize), the Montserrat International Camera Music Composition Competition (1st Prize), the Theodore Front Prize (IAWM), and the Yoshiro Irino Memorial Prize (ACL).
Sungji Hong studied composition in Seoul before moving to England, where she completed her Master in Music at the Royal Academy of Music in London and a Ph.D. in composition with Nicola LeFanu at the University of York in the UK.
The title Bisbiglio (whispering) reflects the behaviour of the music in the work. In Bisbiglio, emphasis was given to structural development and morphological coherence throughout the work. The piece is characterized by recurring elements that function as structural material for the development of the work.
Bisbiglio was completed in July 2011 in Thessaloniki, Greece. It lasts about five minutes and is scored for flute, Bb clarinet, and piano. The work was written for the International Contemporary Music Festival in Cyprus to be performed by Moscow Contemporary Music Ensemble.
Ingrid Stölzel (b. 1971) | The Road is All (2007)
Described as "a composer of considerable gifts" and "musically confident and bold" by NPR's classical music critic Tom Manoff, Ingrid Stölzel enjoys performances of her music around the world. She has received commissions from diverse ensembles such as newEar contemporary chamber ensemble, California E.A.R. Unit, San Diego New Music, Adaskin String Trio, Erato Chamber Orchestra, Greenbrook Ensemble, Octarium and Allegrésse, among others. She is the winner of the 2013 Cayuga Chamber Orchestra Composers Showcase Competition, 2013 Ortus International New Music Competition, 2012 Arizona Pro Arte Competition, 2010 NewMusic@ECU Festival Orchestra Composition Competition, the 2009 Cheryl A. Spector Composition Prize, the 2006 PatsyLu Composition Prize, and a finalist of the International Music Prize for Excellence in Composition 2011.
Stölzel is a frequent guest composer and her music has been heard at numerous music festivals and conferences including the Beijing Modern Music Festival, 16th Biennial Festival of New Music at Florida State, Festival of New American Music, Aries Composers Festival, International Alliance of Women in Music Congress, IC[CM] International Conference on Contemporary Music, SoundOn Festival of Modern Music, Oregon Bach Festivals, Ernest Bloch Festivals, Chamber Music Conference of the East, Otterbein Contemporary Music Festival, and NACUSA National Conference, among others. In 2011, her piano trio The Road is All was commercially released by Navona Records on the CD Claviatures and as a digital release on Fine Music Vol. 2.
Stölzel earned her doctorate degree in composition from the University of Missouri, Conservatory of Music and Dance in Kansas City, where she studied with James Mobberley, Chen Yi and Zhou Long. She holds a Master of Music in Composition from the Hartt School of Music in Hartford, Connecticut. She is the Director of the International Center for Music at Park University. Stölzel is a native of Germany and has resided in the United States since 1991.
The Road is All (2007) takes its title and inspiration from a quote by nineteenth-century French historian Jules Michelet: "Le but n'est rien; le chemin, c'est tout." ("The end is nothing; the road is all.")
Hailed by The New York Times for her "soaring melodies and beguiling harmonies," composer Dale Trumbore's compositions have been performed widely in the United States and internationally by ensembles including the Kronos Quartet, ACME, and the USC Thornton Symphony.
Trumbore has received awards for her compositions from Chanticleer, Center City Opera Theater, the Harmonium Choral Society, Lyrica Chamber Music, the Society for Universal Sacred Music, and VocalEssence. She has received commissions from organizations including the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA), the Esoterics, the Millburn High School Symphony Orchestra & Miller Chorus, Six Degree Singers, and WomenSing. Trumbore has also been awarded a Copland House Residency Award, the Artist in Residence Grant at the Helen Wurlitzer Foundation of New Mexico, and the American Composers Forum Subito grant.
Trumbore's dual interest in language and music leads her to collaborate frequently with contemporary poets, and Trubmore's works for voice have been recorded by the New York Virtuoso Singers (Toward Lasting Peace), Six Degree Singers (Six Degrees of Composers), and soprano Gillian Hollis (Snow White Turns Sixty). Trumbore's choral work The Whole Sea In Motion is published by G. Schirmer's Dale Warland Choral Series.
A New Jersey native and current resident of Los Angeles, Trumbore holds a Master of Music degree in Composition from the University of Southern California, where she studied with Donald Crockett and Morten Lauridsen, and a duel degree in Music Composition (B.M.) and English (B.A.) from the University of Maryland.
This suite orchestrates three songs from Snow White Turns Sixty, a twelve-song cycle premiered as a staged production by Chamber Opera of USC in November 2011 and recorded on a CD of the same name, featuring soprano Gillian Hollis and composer/pianist Trumbore, in September 2011. Excerpts from Snow White Turns Sixty for soprano & piano have been performed numerous times across the United States.
The songs of Snow White Turns Sixty offer new perspectives on traditional tales; some are modern updates, some are twisted reinterpretations, and the songs collectively retell traditional fairy tales in ultimately liberating ways, as each character discovers a new and previously untold element of her particular story.

“I think it’s going to happen.”
Roach insists Pacquiao’s team are pushing to make the mega-fight and Freddie revealed that he helped Bob Arum, head of Top Rank, Pacquiao’s promoter, hold talks with Les Moonves, the president of CBS, which owns Showtime, the television channel that screens Mayweather’s fights.
“I was in the meeting with Bob and Moonves. Moonves was trying to get the fight together without Bob and I said no, you’ve got to get Bob involved,” Roach revealed. “He called Bob ‘the devil’ but you know what I put them together, we had a meeting at Bob’s house. It was hard to get them together but just for that fight [they did]. I was at the meeting and if they both do what they say they’re going to do, the fight will happen. They walked out of the meeting with their arms around each other and I said look at that, maybe it has a chance. I hope so.
“The first time, Moonves was trying to make the deal on his own. I told him Bob’s part of the deal. He’s got Manny.”
Roach is sounding tentatively optimistic that Mayweather-Pacquiao could be made in 2015. “He needs it for CBS and we want it,” Freddie said. “We just want the fight to happen for the people. I know that CBS, who own Showtime, has been losing their ass on those shows. The only way to bail themselves out of that loss is Manny.
“Moonves and Bob got together and spoke, it was a good meeting. I listened, I didn’t say anything, because I’m really not the deciding factor in that. I just put them both together at Bob’s house and I got them both to show up at the same time. It was good. I was trying to make this fight happen.
“I’m doing things I’m really not supposed to be doing to make this fight happen. It’s way out of my league but the thing is I want this fight to happen and those two guys can do it. It was a good meeting and I was very happy afterwards because I thought what was said was good. What was said could be done. He says he can deliver one guy and Bob can deliver the other. That’s really all we need.”
Of course there is a long way to go to get such a fight off the ground. Mayweather’s antipathy towards Arum is a major hurdle.
Oscar De La Hoya and WBC eager to make Mayweather-Pacquiao
“How are we going to negotiate this?” Roach mused. “I said to them, why don’t we hire a negotiator like Bill Clinton? He’s a smart guy, an intelligent person, he’s supposed to be a good negotiator. Someone like that. They said we can do it ourselves. I said, ‘I don’t know about know about that because you guys argue all the time.’ I just tried to come up with everything I could to make it smoother, to make this fight happen. The meeting did happen, I was there. It was a very good meeting, a very good ending. They’re both very happy with the ideas. It’s been done once before [a joint HBO and Showtime broadcast] with Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson, so it’s not impossible. Hopefully this happens.”
The great fighters of past eras fought the best available opposition. It would damage the legacies of both Pacquiao and Mayweather if the two never meet, although the point of greatest demand for this fight has already passed.
“I want the challenge. I love the challenge of fighting Mayweather. He’s a challenging guy. I’ve studied him. I already got the game plan down for him, I know his mistakes and so forth. But I’m sure I’m going to watch tapes again. Because I’m anxious and I think it’s going to happen,” Freddie said. “I hope as much as you guys that it does.” | <urn:uuid:2d9dd8cf-d4ef-4d15-83bc-16db2d5af284> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.boxingnewsonline.net/could-floyd-mayweather-versus-manny-pacquiao-happen-in-2015/ | 2020-09-18T22:35:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400189264.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918221856-20200919011856-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.982774 | 923 |

Atlantis Theatrical Entertainment Group is thrilled to announce that singer/songwriter and acclaimed musical theatre performer Nyoy Volante joins the cast of SWEENEY TODD as Signor Adolfo Pirelli, the rival barber of Sweeney Todd. He joins Tony and Olivier Award winner Lea Salonga, rock icon Jett Pangan, Ima Castro, Andrew Fernando and Gerald Santos in the illustrious cast of the highly anticipated musical thriller.
Nyoy has been performing with Atlantis for 17 years, having first appeared in the ensemble of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW in 2002, and having last performed the role of Lola in KINKY BOOTS to critical acclaim. Along the way he has played supporting and lead roles in DREAMGIRLS, HAIRSPRAY, LEGALLY BLONDE, IN THE HEIGHTS, ROCK OF AGES, THE ADDAMS FAMILY, SHREK and JERSEY BOYS.
Nyoy says of his 17 years working with Atlantis, “I feel very lucky to be a part of the Atlantis family. When I first performed in an Atlantis production I was just 24 years old, so I’ve really grown up with the company. The discipline and principles that the company teaches us is something that I continue to take with me into show-business and beyond. I’m so glad they took a chance on me all those years ago.”
Bobby Garcia, who directs Sweeney Todd, and who has directed Nyoy numerous times in the past says, “It wouldn’t be a 20th Anniversary celebration without having Nyoy Volante join us. I think he will bring something devilishly unexpected to Pirelli. I look forward to starting work with this crazy talented cast on this glorious yet complex Sondheim puzzle real soon.”
Nyoy, Lea and Jett all made their Atlantis stage debuts 17 years ago in 2002. Lea took to the Atlantis stage in Proof in January 2002, Jett in tick,tick…Boom! in July and Nyoy in The Rocky Horror Show in November 2002. Sweeney Todd will mark the first stage production that all three will be working on together. Nyoy says, “Aside, from having the honor to perform beside theater royalties Lea Salonga and Jett Pangan, I also can’t wait to take on this Sondheim mammoth. Atlantis has really brought out the big guns for their 20th anniversary and capping it off with this masterpiece is like the big bloody cherry on top.”
Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s musical masterpiece SWEENEY TODD has become a bloody, worldwide success since being awarded eight Tony Awards, (including Best Musical), for its Broadway premiere, as well as the Oliver Award for Best New Musical. Stephen Sondheim's and Hugh Wheeler's (A Little Night Music, Pacific Overtures) tasty, thrilling, theatrical treat has simultaneously shocked, awed and delighted audiences across the world. The Broadway revival went on to win two more Tony Awards taking its total up to 10 Tony Awards. 2019 also marks the 40th Anniversary of the musical, having first opened on Broadway in 1979.
Sweeney Todd caps Atlantis’ 20th Anniversary season which has included acclaimed runs of Angels In America: Millennium Approaches, Beautiful and the launch of its new division ATLANTIS IMAGINARIUM YOUNG THEATRE (AIYT) with its premiere production Madagascar: A Musical Adventure. Sweeney Todd runs from October 11-27, 2019 at the Theatre at Solaire.
Tickets are now available at Ticketworld, call 891-9999 or visit www.ticketworld.com.ph. Sweeney Todd is a production of AtlantisTwenty and ABS-CBN.

Brainshark Adds Text Training to Sales Coaching
Brainshark, a provider of cloud-based sales enablement and readiness solutions, has enhanced its sales readiness platform with text-based coaching activities to help employees improve their written communication skills.
"So much of the communication between sellers and buyers is written—via email, even via text," said Brendan Cournoyer, vice president of marketing at Brainshark, in a statement. "Cutting-and-pasting often falls short. Reps need to be able to tailor responses to each unique interaction to move deals forward, and they need to be precise in their language to avoid misunderstandings. Our new coaching enhancements give client-facing teams even greater flexibility to ensure their reps are prepared to always say the right things, no matter how those messages are delivered."
With these new text-based capabilities, managers can engineer and assign activities to assess written communications, like asking reps to personalize a prospecting email based on industry news, craft a mock email response to a pricing question, respond to a specific competitive objection and more. Reps receive email and mobile push notifications from Brainshark letting them know they have an activity to complete. Reps submit their written responses through Brainshark's system, and then coaches, managers, and peers can provide feedback, evaluating each response's tone, consistency, persuasiveness, and more, with star-based ratings and fields for written input.
In addition to text-based coaching activities, Brainshark is also releasing these other platform enhancements:
- Google Drive and Slide support, allowing content authors to automatically turn their Google Slides, linked from a Google Drive account, into interactive Brainshark presentations; and
- Knowledge and Skills Library integration within sales courses and curricula, allowing managers and coaches to create a library of desired knowledge and skills, correlate existing learning content to those topics and skills, identify gaps within curricula, and view which reps have completed courses associated with certain knowledge and skills, and which reps have not been certified in those areas.

September 2018: While we in California are rejoicing over the news that over a million SSI recipients (seniors and disabled) will finally be eligible for CalFresh next year, threats to the program nationally exist in the form of the Farm Bill, which the House of Representatives have loaded down with work requirements in order to cut $20 billion from the program. Meanwhile, on the state level, the most fundamental food assistance — people voluntarily taking food to the poor and homeless — is threatened by a well intentioned bill that would actually make people register and pay fees in order to participate in this giving.

*With the wide range of issues impacting not just low-income folks, but the overall health and well being of society, we ‘d like to emphasize we can’t solve these issues by narrowly focusing on hunger. Hunger is a symptom of many other factors, from workers rights (shredded to an unprecedented degree by Supreme Court rulings over the past month), water, banking and housing---especially in LA. All of those last three issues will have ballot measures this November, making this a very consequential election at the national, state and local level.

Don't wait. Make your voice heard on the #FarmBill2018!
Angelenos can be proactive in shaping #ABetterFarmBill. Here are just four ways:
1. Stand behind SNAP/CalFresh.
May is Calfresh Awareness Month, a reminder that individuals can apply to Calfresh via the Los Angeles County Department of Social Services (DPSS) website. If you prefer to apply in person, you can visit your local CalFresh District Office. There are several locations throughout Los Angeles County.
2. Voice your concerns about the Farm Bill.
Contact your Representative and Senators. You can find your Representative here. California Food Policy Advocates (CFPA) developed fact sheets for each California Representative, which provides relevant information for each district. On the Senate side, you can contact California senators Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris. You can also contact the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you to your Senate or House representative.
3. Join the coalition.
The Farm to Fork Initiative is assembling a comprehensive list of national, regional and local organizations, businesses and leaders opposed to the House Farm Bill. Organizations can fill out this form, which will add your organization name to a public list of those who oppose cuts to the Farm Bill.
4. Spread the word.
Check out and share this video by Hunger Action LA featuring HALA coalition members. Learn the facts about the Farm Bill, what is at stake for our communities, and help spread the word on why the Farm Bill matters.

A tiny ginger kitten didn't know what it was like to be loved until she was given her first hug, and she couldn't stop hugging back.
Cashew was abandoned at a pet supply store at 2 1/2 weeks of age.
"(She) was covered in fleas, her fur matted with filth, and had an issue with her right eye," reddit user flashypurplepatches said. "The night I took her home, she wouldn't stop crying unless I held her against my chest. I ended up holding her all night, which is probably why she cuddles this way now."
Since then, Cashew has been the biggest cuddler in the house.
"At 10pm Saturday night, Cashew decided walking was the best thing ever. He was so weak on Friday he could barely lift his little body.
"On Sunday, he was grooming himself, studying everything, moving like a champ, and purring like mad."
They gave Cashew a teddy bear and she started hugging it, too.
Six months after rescue... Now hugs and snuggles are how Cashew shows her love... "Cashew won't sit on my lap. It's the chest or nothing."
"First she must suck earlobes, touch noses, rub faces, grab neck with both paws, and lick nose (my nose). Purr loudly. Repeat."
When she is ready for a nap, she burrows her head into her human's neck for some serious snuggles.
She then proceeds to curl up into a ball and nap in her human's arms in pure bliss.

Before you enroll in a graduate program to study autism, you should give some thought to possible capstone project ideas for graduate degrees in autism studies. A capstone project is one of the last things that you’ll do in graduate school and functions in the same way that a thesis does. Instead of writing a paper based on your own research, the graduate school will ask you to take your research into the field or create a project on that research. According to The Glossary of Education Reform, these are long-term projects that you might work on for a year or longer. While there are a number of projects you can do, you may want to concentrate your project on one specific area.
Some of the capstone project ideas for graduate degrees in autism studies focus on intervention strategies. Intervention refers to the way in which parents begin working with their children. These strategies may involve bringing in an ABA therapist, using motor skills programs or teaching students to feel more comfortable when around other people. You can create a project that shows which strategies are the most successful.
Effective Treatment Ideas
Autism is a medical condition that has no known cure, but parents and educators can still use various treatments as a way to reduce symptoms and help those kids. When doing a project on effective treatment options, you’ll look at common forms of treatment like ABA therapy, physical therapy and occupational therapy. You can base your project around which treatment you think is most effective or how children on different parts of the spectrum react to each one.
New Research Help
As you near the end of your education, you might look at capstone project ideas for graduate degrees in autism studies that will help parents of children recently diagnosed with autism. These parents may feel scared or nervous about what the future holds. You can build a brand new website that goes over treatment options, talks about intervention strategies, features a message board/forum for users to talk with others and includes success stories from adults with autism.
Though many schools have special needs classrooms available, very few offer after-school programs for kids with autism and special needs. When looking at capstone topic ideas, consider doing a project on new programs for these kids. You might talk about the benefits of after-school programs before showing research you did in the field. You can even work with a local school and introduce a new after-school program that offers activities for kids with autism.
Classroom management is an important part of being a teacher. You must understand how to take control of the classroom and what to do with kids who act out. As a student looking at capstone project ideas for graduate degrees in autism studies, think about projects based around classroom management. These projects let you introduce new methods of dealing with verbal and non-verbal autistic students. You might focus on maintaining a room that makes every student feel safe and comfortable, a classroom that uses rewards for those who behave themselves or other methods that teachers can use when working with special needs students.
As a graduate student enrolled in an autism studies program, you will need to submit a capstone project at the end of your senior year. You may even have the chance to present your work in front of professors working in your department. Before enrolling, make sure you look at some capstone project ideas for graduate degrees in autism studies to get an idea of what type of project you want to do. | <urn:uuid:f84673f0-dc12-492a-8e8d-c17af2e6aff1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.masters-in-special-education.com/lists/5-capstone-project-ideas-for-graduate-degrees-in-autism-studies/ | 2020-09-19T00:35:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400189264.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918221856-20200919011856-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962017 | 684 |

We have some great news now for those of you that play the PC version of the hugely popular Call of Duty: Black Ops game, as we’ve just heard that the PC patch 1.09 has now gone live on Steam. What’s more is that the full list of changes has also been revealed.
According to a recent computerandvideogames.com article by Tom Ivan, the news of the patch was confirmed on Twitter by community manager Josh Olin, who also mentioned that the developer is still planning on releasing Mod Tools before the end of this month.
The new CoD: Black Ops patch 1.09 not only adds support for Mods in preparation of the upcoming tools launch, but it’s also addressed a number of multiplayer and zombie exploits and fixed an issue which occasionally required the repurchase of clan tags and emblems on weapons.
It’s also prevented a rare invulnerability issue from occurring, improved memory utilization in multiplayer, addressed an issue where some players could not receive zombie invites and improved the DLC filter in the server browser, so players can hide servers that are running content they don’t own.
The update has also fine-tuned napalm and bombing-run damage indoors, replaced the RPG with Grim Reaper in Gun Game Wager Match and made it so that demolition bombs can no longer explode and be defused at the same time. You can read about the other changes via CVG.

New solutions to old problems
Updated: Sep 1
I remember telling people with pride that I studied law. It was precisely 5 mins ago. No-one asked, but they just had to know. If you're in the never-ending game of law long enough, some University problems make you feel like you're on trial, so here are some new tips to make law student life less of a struggle.
Your back will thank you
I don't have to explain to you why books are just straight up annoying. They cost the earth and are heavy too. What I only recently discovered is that you can buy ebook versions of the textbook you need for class and there are so many reasons to do it.
Namely, you can always have your readings with you, and it's much more cost-effective. Plus, you also don't have to spend more money on sticky notes that end up page marking areas you didn't fully understand or marked the chapters you needed to read. Plus a lot of e-readers come with a highlighting tool so that you can highlight and leave comments about a particular area of law. This is a fantastic option for your revision so that you can identify why you were struggling to interpret the law in the first place.
Where did the time go?
Understanding fundamental principles of law are especially tricky when you feel as though you don't have time to catch up on the readings, much less get ahead of the texts. So I would highly recommend these Q&A Case Summaries books on various subjects of law. Some of them even come with legal problem questions so that you can better practice for that take-home exam or answer your tutorial teacher with something other than a vacuous stare. Also, if you haven't checked out our Instagram, we've got some fantastic case summaries with images to help you remember the case you're studying. Are there any cases you want us to add to our instagram? If so please send them to email@example.com.
Thanks, it's colour coded
One of the most frantic moves you can make as a law student is trying to search for your notes, one week before the exam or during class. Always try to keep all of your records in one file or one app. Notability is a great platform you can use to streamline your notes, and even OneNote is pretty popular. However, don't forget to back up your study notes to Google Drive or Dropbox, because technology is only helpful when it works.

In 2008, Titian launched its High School Scholarship programme, with its first batch of 76 students from SMPN I (National Junior High School) Bayat, Klaten, enabling them to pursue further studies at general or vocational schools—Grades 10 to 12. The Scholarship Programme targets underprivileged children who have qualified for further education and is valid for a period of three consecutive years.
To date over 1,000 children have received scholarships. Because of the ‘ripple’ effects of better education, we estimate that the programme has impacted over 30,000 people in the wider community.
Up to 2019, the value of Titian’s Scholarship Programme is approximately IDR 11 billion, giving opportunities for underprivileged youngsters to graduate high school and empower them for a better future in Bayat, Tangerang Selatan and Lombok.
The Scholarship entitles its recipients to a one-time joining fee to the general or vocational school of their choice; three years school fees, books and school uniform. Close monitoring and an assistance programme have also been implemented to ensure that this process goes smoothly. A dedicated team performs the dual function of mentor and supervisor to follow the students’ progress during the course of the programme. These mentors also regularly consult with teachers, visit the students’ homes to talk with and encourage parents to support their children and hold students’ get-togethers to forge a strong social bond among them as a form of ongoing support and encouragement for these students to reach their dreams.
The Titian Foundation Scholarship Programme takes junior high school graduates who would not normally be able to continue their studies and puts them through high school or vocational school for three years. So successful have many of the students been, that Titian has extended the programme to offer university scholarships, so that those who reach the highest academic standards can continue their studies. Remarkably, many Titian scholarship graduates have such good grades that they qualify for universities’ own scholarship schemes.
Our foundation seeks to give these students a chance to continue to senior high school. We firmly believe that long term sustainable prosperity in less fortunate rural communities and villages depends on access to higher education and training for the young generation in those communities. We seek to provide this opportunity, and we work tirelessly to communicate with parents to allow their children to continue their education, not stop halfway. Because of this we provide a scholarship programme not based purely on academic merit, instead it is granted to capable children who truly wish to remain in school but whose parents cannot afford to pay the fees required for them to proceed to graduation.
At the root of our programme’s success are a number of unique factors:
This high school scholarship is currently offered for underprivileged students in Bayat, Central Java; Tangerang Selatan, Banten; and recently Pemenang, North Lombok.
Many of our students have managed to attained scholarships grants from government or universities through their own effort, however we also provide an opportunity to help fund scholarships for the first year of university for students that have excelled at school but are unable to afford higher education.
In this programme we highly encourage our students to attain high grades for their first year of university, thus enabling them to be eligible for scholarship grants from the government or university, or from other sources, so that they may complete their remaining university years.
Neither of our scholarship programmes would be possible without the dedication of our partners. Titian is extremely grateful to partners who supported us to kick-start the high school scholarship programme, namely CLSA, ROTA-Vodafone, Bank Mandiri, Barly Foundation, as well as some distinguished individuals.
Our university scholarship programme was initiated with the support of Indonesian banks—Panin Bank and Bank Mandiri—as well as financial services provider Cashmore & Co helping Titian scholarship alumni who face challenges in their first year studying at university. Our partners in this effort are more than just sponsors; they are notable organisations who play a vital role in the ongoing mentoring programme that helps develop the students’ life skills to complement their academic activities.
There is still however much we can do with this programme. We actively appeal to new partners that are interested in participating, sponsoring and mentoring students that have demonstrated outstanding academic performance during their school years.

The White House is pushing to “reopen America” even as the country recorded its highest daily death toll from COVID-19 on Friday. Shopping mall operators are eager to see customers wander amongst their stores, if anyone is in a mood to buy as consumers tighten their belts while some of the country’s most iconic retail brands teeter closer to bankruptcy. But if retailers, or companies in any sector for that matter, are to reopen, their first priority should be their employees. Starbucks is showing that the wisest approach is not barreling into a reopening, but taking an approach retailers and restaurants could describe as a “soft relaunch.”
The odds are high that the Starbucks closest to your home reopened yesterday. The coffee giant says that by this weekend, up to 85 percent of its stores across the U.S. will have reopened. By early June, that ratio could reach 90 percent.
For now, however, it will be some time before your local Starbucks once again becomes that “third place.” Don’t count on poaching the store’s free Wi-Fi to do some remote work any time soon. At many locations, you'll only be able to walk in far enough to claim your drink. And the company is going beyond cashless transactions — for the time being, you’ll only be able to order via the Starbucks mobile app at what were once sit-down locations - unless the location has a drive-through.
Considering that, as a publicly-owned company and iconic brand, it’s always in Wall Street’s crosshairs, Starbucks didn’t have to take such drastic steps. The company could surely generate more revenue in the short term if it allowed customers to queue outside as long as they stayed six feet apart and could pay with cash or a credit card.
But it’s clear Starbucks is taking such actions to look out for their employees. After all, while most of us are respecting requests to follow social distancing rules and take steps such as wearing face masks, we’ve all witnessed our fair share of intimidation and bad actors. It’s easy to push back and say the most extreme forms of despicable behavior making the newswires are rare or to sigh with a “tsk, tsk” from afar, but imagine if you were that employee who was the brunt of such obnoxious, entitled behavior. Just one horrid viral video could make Starbucks’ relaunch go sideways, so the best approach is to be hyper-cautious from day one.
Acknowledging how many of customers feel about their Starbucks routine, the company’s CEO, Kevin Johnson, recently said: “We think of the third place as a mindset — a feeling of comfort that uplifts customers everywhere, and in every way, they experience Starbucks. And the third place has never been more relevant than now, as communities seek to reconnect and heal.”
One could dismiss those words as the craftsmanship of a seasoned communications professional, but Starbucks is backing up that prose with action. Healing, after all, will take a long time. As widely reported, the company is continuing to offer its store employees “catastrophe pay” through the end of this month, based on their baseline hours. Employees who choose to work will make an extra $3 an hour during this time.
Consistency is also key as Starbucks continues to flick on the light switch at more of its stores: Locations with the conventional café format will for the most part have limited hours. Giving a sense that everyone is in this together, and that everyone will be treated the same, matters for both the company’s employees and its customers.
The employees at the Starbucks location 3p visited today gave a sense that they were not only pleased, if not excited, to be back at work, but that they were being looked after, too. Hand sanitizer was readily available. Face masks of all colors and patterns were worn. Working hours are limited for now (12 hours a week), but these employees felt as if they were taken care of and, most importantly, they were heard.
And therein lies the biggest difference between what’s happening at Starbucks compared to companies in other industries: Many workers feel as if they are not being heard or talked to — and they are tired of company executives talking at them.
One narrative during this crisis is that trust between many employees and employers has plummeted. This pandemic and the economic crisis have made many employees feel not as humans, but as line items in a spreadsheet. It’s true that no company could have planned for this upheaval, and no plan is perfect. Nevertheless, Starbucks offers corporate America a template on how to leverage a company’s most resilient asset during these times: its people.

Sake Month – The Junmai Life
We selected June to be Junmai Month at True Sake. Why? It’s a pretty cool word in the sake world. Junmai as we know has two meanings. The first is historical and has slightly changed in the past several decades. Junmai – the category of sake - meant sakes that used brewing rice that was historically milled a minimum of 30% with 70% of each grain remaining. Why? It was a way of guaranteeing that a sake was above a threshold, which meant it was premium or better than average everyday sake known as futsu-shu. Basically, it was a measure of quality and brewers strictly adhered to the standard for commercial sake.
The category of Junmai sake changed not long ago at the insistence of many sake brewers for marketing purposes. They wanted to sell less milled or polished rice as Junmai sake. Not to trick consumers or dodge quality restrictions, rather they wanted to create a different style of sake for commercial purposes. It was not an effort to pull the wool over the sake drinkers of Japan, and the powers that be mandated that if a brewer milled less than the standard of 70% remaining then they must print this on the visible label of the sake to be considered Junmai sake. Consumers needed to see that a sake was milled to let’s say 80% and then they could make the choice.
The second and more interesting use of the word Junmai is when it means sake that is made with water and rice only. Hey wait? Huh? Sake is made with rice, water, yeast, and mold… not just rice and water. Okay! I hear you. You are correct. But the shortened definition of Junmai is sake that is made with rice and water only, as well as the other special ingredients that you mentioned. So why say it in the first place? Geesh! Did we wake up on the wrong side of futon? We use this distinction to separate sakes made with just “rice and water” from sakes that use brewer’s alcohol (jozo) in the production process.
We can pick another month to extol the virtues and wonders of Honjozo, Ginjo, and Daiginjo sakes. These are the categories of milling rates of sakes that are made with small amounts of highly concentrated alcohol to make sakes lighter, more nuanced, aromatic, and clean. There is a misconception that sakes made with brewer’s alcohol are to fortify the brews. This is not the case at all. Sakes that use extra alcohol in the brewing process are not like fortified wines. Added alcohol is used to extract the heaviness of just water and rice sakes and adds other dimensions that cannot be achieved by traditional Junmai sakes.
But this month is Junmai month, so let’s talk about the culture around Junmai sake. There are a group of sake brewers and breweries who only make Junmai sake. They see adding alcohol as not pure. It’s not pure rice and water sake. In fact, they look upon added alcohol sakes with disdain and often refer to them as not sake. These folks are purists. I get it. I also get their passion. They go the extra mile in production and technique to try to achieve some of the benefits of added alcohol sake without actually using the satin-juice! Actually I don’t think that they refer to jozo alcohol as satin-juice, in fact I know that they don’t. I was going for effect! Did it work?
I admire the Junmai purists. It feels old school and sort of like a special badge of honor in a special club. And yes, they do have a club! There is an association that is made up of breweries that do not use alcohol in any of their sakes. And they have a sticker to prove it! What’s sort of sad is that I haven’t been noticing that sticker too much any more. For example, Kamoizumi has a Junmai Ginjo sake called “Shusen” or “Three Dots,” which used to have the sticker. Not any more! Same too with Taminohikari and other breweries that export to the states. For me, the sticker represented a passion. I admire that. That said, I do not find any problem with sakes that are made with added alcohol. So I am not a purist in their eyes. Hey! What can I say?! I like sake.
Junmai sake is more than a philosophy. It is also a powerful tool in the sake brewing world, because the result are sakes that have character and depth. Junmai sakes speak to food pairings as well. They have more “solid” characteristics and work well with complexity! One of my favorite importers swears that Junmai sakes were “invented” to pair with green olives! I myself always love challenging wine and was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that the Wakatake Junmai Genshu works wonders with artichokes! Say wha? You bet!
Junmai is the word for the month of June! Come into the store and see our white board for some very clever and crazy Junmai sake pairings with foods that you would never think to pair with sake. Also, check out KJ’s Newsletter Archives for some past articles on Junmai sake and some great pairings. Then proceed to this month’s Top 10 List to read about ten amazing Junmai sakes that you should try at least once in your sake careers!

HoustonDragon is taking the lead in a project to replicate Wing Commander III/IV/Prophecy style fighter helmets - and he'd like to know whether you're interested in someday buying one. The original props are actual motorcycle helmets with an artificial front molded and glued onto them to appear futuristic -- the goal would be to replicate this based on the original props currently in the hands of Wing Commander fans. You can express interest, offer further information and just generally help out here on the forums.
Since I ordered one of the flight suits, I was wondering how much of an interest there was for a Wing Commander Confed-style helmet for people?
Examples of the style I'm talking about can be seen here:
I've contacted a local vendor here in Atlanta who is willing to create the necessary mold (currently, we're pricing this around $500 for the inital mold, which would be good for the production of around 50 helmets), and then create individual custom fiberglass helmets. They would be wearable (using the base interior materials from a generic motorcycle helmet), though certainly would not be certified for use as anything other than strictly a novelty item.
My thought was to leave the basic helmet painted the white primer, and then either someone could stick a decal logo on it, or have it custom painted themselves. We could go ahead and have the two basic red stripes painted on them, though. There's also the idea of having Diamondback, Black Widow, and Wolfpack emblems printed as decals, but that's still up in the air until we can gauge some sort of demand for these.
With the base materials, labor, shipping, and whatever else will go into producing one of these, the current estimate price for one would be between $125-175 per helmet (subject to change, based on material costs), and would likely be finished in time for Dragon*Con 2006. Let me hear your feedback about this.
Frosty, Halman and I were bored on a sleepy Tuesday afternoon, so we decided to plot Wing Commander characters' home towns on a Google "Frappr!" map. You can find our little map here. All the cool kids are, no doubt, using this tool to plot their MySpace box socials... but like all technology, it is most pure when adapted for uses Wing Commander in nature. It seems to be half tool and half Wikipedia... so if you come across any other characters from Earth, be sure and add them.
The map currently consists mostly of Wing Commander I and Wing Commander Prophecy wingmen... since they're the ones who have bios that list their home cities. It actually has two birthplaces for Knight, as the editors responsible for the SNES port decided that Angola was a more appropriate home than South Africa. It's kind of fun to see characters laid out like this... for instance, Captain Johnny's Prophecy counterpart, Majestic, is from the heart of Africa.

Despite these spectacular achievements in girls’ education and ladies’s health, Sri Lanka doesn’t carry out well in the global gender gap index, rating 79th out of 142 nations in 2014. This low ranking comes from its poor efficiency in the dimensions of economic participation and political empowerment.
Population, feminine (% of whole) in Sri Lanka was reported at 51.ninety seven % in 2018, in accordance with the World Bank assortment of growth indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources.
But it does even better on gender with a rank of seventy four for its Gender Inequality Index (GII). As time passes, many in Sri Lanka’s tourism industry are wanting forward to the tourists returning. “I couldn’t say no to my parents,” says Nilani as we talk at the Rosie May Foundation’s Sri Lanka workplace. A shut-knit household structure and the socio-cultural norms in Sri Lanka expect daughters to be obedient to their parents—even when it comes to their alternative of husband. Tourism in Sri Lanka took an enormous dip after the Easter Sunday bombings, but that hasn’t stopped these single mothers looking to the long run.
III. SRI LANKA’S SOCIAL DIVERSITY
“On top of that, I don’t seem like a stereotypical Sri Lankan woman. I’m not significantly feminine, I don’t put on makeup or jewelry, and I even have short, spiky hair.” A naturally non-public person, Jayanthi can also be undeniably feisty and eloquently exuberant. She brushes off such criticisms with a withering “I pricked your ego—sorry, dude, simply cope with it!
Southern Province, Sri Lanka – Lochana is 10 years old. Every morning, he will get up and lights an incense stick, which he places in a 3-wheeled auto-rickshaw parked outside the family home in Sri Lanka’s coastal Southern Province. When Rajapaksa’s brother Mahinda was president, from 2005 to 2015, Beijing grew to become Sri Lanka’s largest lender. Infrastructure tasks constructed and financed by China began popping up throughout Sri Lanka, significantly within the Rajapaksas’ residence district of Hambantota, in the nation’s south. But when the Sri Lankan authorities was unable to repay debts to a Chinese state operator, it was pressured in 2017 at hand over control to Beijing of an enormous port in Hambantota, on a 99-yr lease. | <urn:uuid:d0c66928-e2be-49e1-be1f-73cc0e026e74> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.yamiyami.com.tw/uncategorized/the-women-who-are-clearing-the-minefields-in-sri-lanka/ | 2020-09-18T22:41:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400189264.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200918221856-20200919011856-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.956959 | 1,320 |

Vampire tribal has been underplayed in Standard since the release of Shadows over Innistrad. But the void made by the banning of Aetherworks Marvel has opened a world where the dark terrors of the night can reign supreme, and can do it on a decent budget.
Since Drana, Liberator or Malakir is still a card with incredible potential, I figured I would give her one last chance at Standard stardom.
I learned three things:
- With so many good creatures, limiting yourself to only vampires is a serious pain in the neck.
- The more vampires you have on the battlefield up the better. After all, blood is thicker than water.
- In a damage race, their aggressive nature means you will always be neck and neck.
Seriously though, Drana, Liberator of Malakir still has huge upside. A 2/3 flyer with first strike for 1BB is not bad in black, but she goes over the moon with her second ability. Whenever she does combat damage to a player you put a +1/+1 counter on all of your creatures. I love putting counters on things. I’m a sucker for it.
Recall though how she has first strike, meaning the damage she does, and consequently the trigger to put counters on your creatures, happens before any of your regular dudes deal damage. She makes every other creature you attack with better and is a great force multiplier who can really get in people’s heads.
Now if only there was a card which made her produce more counters. I would go batty for a card like that.
I spent a summer in Africa, and the most common song I heard repeated, “Everything is double double!” It listed things like health, and money, and blessings as being double double. The song is definitely not about vampires and snakes, but it applies here.
Winding Constrictor makes Drana double double. Why just give all your attackers one counter when you can give them two? Every time you deal damage with Drana and the snake is on the board each creature gets two counters. Turning a 1/1 into a 3/3 on the spot and then doing the same thing each turn? Cool story bro.
Winding constrictor even curves well into Drana. A great turn four follow-up is Yahenni, Undying Partisan. Yahenni’s haste means they can attack at the same time as Drana’s first attack, making for an ideal follow up. Yahenni’s ability to sacrifice a creature for indestructability is useful against board wipes and spot removal. Plus, anytime an opposing creature dies Yahenni gets a +1/+1 counter. And if the Winding Constrictor is on the board…Yahenni is double double.
If we can play a good one drop then we could be off to a hot start. Our two one drops are Vampire Cutthroat and Indulgent Aristocrat. These two lifelinkers each have an additional rule. The Cutthroat has skulk, meaning it can’t be blocked by creatures with more power than it. This allows it to sneak in under the radar to deal incremental damage while you set up your bigger stuff, plus in the event of a board stall can act as a reliable clock. The Indulgent Aristocrat is a surprise all-star. By being able to give all your vampires +1/+1 counters (or even double double counters!?!) at instant speed you have another way to complicate combat match and make your attacks more favorable to you. The only draw back is the Aristocrat only buffs your vampires.
Good thing we play lots of vampires, even metal vampires. Metallic Mimic might be the best non-zombie specific tribal enabler, especially because we are playing around with +1/+1 counters. Metallic Mimic is double double.
Another Vampire which is totally undercosted at BB is Gifted Aetherborn. 2/3 provides a solid early body (with more lifelink), and the deathtouch is great for forcing through more damage on a stalled board or holding up any non-indestructible big baddie. Asylum Visitor gives us three power at the two drop spot, and is mostly in the deck as a way to draw cards once we, and potentially our opponent, has played out our hand. Because we have so much lifegain, the “lose 1 life” drawback isn’t even a concern.
Finishing out the list is nine removal spells; 4 Grasp of Darkness, 4 Never/Return, and a single Battle at the Bridge.
Double Double Budget Vampires
$75 and you have a fun deck to pilot which can 2-1 or 3-0 local events.
You probably aren’t reading this to win a few packs at an FNM though. You want eternal glory (which, is exactly the kind an immortal blood drinking vampire would pursue). How would I optimize the list after playing it a few weeks?
More Expensive Double Double Vampires
As soon as the budget restriction is off the table the first thing I add to the 75 is 4 Fatal Push. Being in black, it is essential we take the best removal available to us, and with several fast decks with low CMC like energy and W/r humans in the format we need need need Fatal Push to have the time to build our double double engine. This card is extra flexible for vampires since we have a sacrifice outlet that lets us trigger revolt and thus target more expensive creatures with this spell.
Next is Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet. This guy not only has a way to make his own double double counters, efficiently using any creatures that are too small to be relevant to fuel his own lifelinked rampage, but also creates a 2/2 zombie whenever a creature an opponent controls dies. As a higher curve creature who is legendary, he is only present as a two of.
Verdurous Gearhulk is a double double dream, and in some matchups provides some much needed trample on a body Glorybringer can’t eat. With a Winding Constrictor in play you get 12 power for five many and can spread it across a number of bodies. He gives us perfect flexibility for whatever situation he is played into. Depending on the meta there are times you will want more Gearhulks over the two Kalitas.
Speaking of useful trample abilities, the last creature addition is a single copy of Rhonas, the Indomitable. In most cases a single round of double double counters on our creatures should activate Rhonas for attacking and blocking and being able to give a creature +2/0 trample is relevant on a stalled board. Rhonas’ trample aspect is especially relevant with Drana, as combat damage from her trampling triggers her +1/+1 ability the same way as if she attacked a player unblocked.
Blooming Marsh dramatically smooths out our opening hands, but the land we added which is a real rock star is Westvale Abbey. Ormendahl is an ultimate threat, and our deck has a low enough curve where having five creatures out isn’t too hard. He is a great out to have in any match where the board gets mucked up.
In the sideboard we find the last Fatal Push, the other three Never//Return, and two Battle of the Bridge for a flexible post-sideboard removal package. Battle of the Bridge actually is decently positioned right now against the white aggro decks as it is a way to gain life while stabilizing the board. 3 Dead Weight is also great for matchups where your opponent is strictly playing the smaller creatures.
I am moving Yahenni to the sideboard where they can assist in heavy kill spell and board wipe matches due to their ability to become indestructible, but overall is not as essential to the deck’s functioning. Joining creature Yahenni is Yahenni’s Expertise, a solid board wipe that really can set us up well against zombies provided we play it before they have two Lord of the Accursed.
Overall this is a really fun deck if you are looking to try something new or hop into standard on a budget and a fantastic way to come at the metagame if you already have all the pieces for the tooled out version. The creatures are aggressive, flexible, and with the right pieces synchronized together can go completely over the top and run over other creature decks. If you’ve got the cards and want to try something new, take some unloved vampires out for a spin!

Way #4 – Keep Growing (Plant new seeds!)
Mindfulness can help you ‘deliver’ on your New Year Resolutions!
We often decide to do things that are well-intended but sputter out and become disappointments instead of accomplishments… sound familiar?
That’s because it happens to all of us, and many people give up making resolutions for personal growth because they anticipate disappointment and avoid it by not challenging themselves. Unfortunately, this can leave us with a bigger disappointment – in ourselves!
Here’s something that can help!
By the time you finish reading this page, you’ll begin to understand and use the one tool that changes the way you do everything – mindfulness.
You’ve heard about it, maybe tried it, but what is it, actually?
One important aspect of being mindful is to bring all of your attention and awareness to the one thing you are always doing, right now, in this very moment – being alive in your own body!
Not multi-tasking, not lost in the mind somewhere, not letting your inner voices have their way with you. Instead, being fully present, here and now – aware of what’s actually happening inside and around you – sensations, sights, sounds, etc.
Try a one-minute session of Mindful Attention – and see how it feels!
Assuming you’re sitting down, take a full breath, in through the nose and then just let it go. Let your shoulders drop and relax your mouth and jaw.
Let yourself breathe like this for one minute.
Each time you let the breath go, let your shoulders drop, and relax your mouth and jaw. Notice any sounds, sights, or sensations that arise and let them be what they are.
Each exhale, feel the senstions of relxation deepen, and feel the weight of your body pressing down into the chair.
Let yourself have one minute of mindfully feeling your breathing body relax.
Breathe out – drop shoulders – relax mouth and jaw – listen and let be.
This short practice can have profound results for mindfulness, relaxation, and stress reduction – and it’s effectiveness increases over time. I recommend you don’t make a commitment to do it, or put it in your schedule – just experiment with it when you think of it. When you become aware of feeling tense or too busy, try it for one minute – and see how you feel.
Just one minute of Mindful Attention can bring benefits.
Now let’s see how mindfulness can help us ‘deliver’ on our New Year Resolutions for personal growth!
A powerful aspect of mindfulness enables us to dive beneath surface thoughts and feelings to make more skillful choices based on core values and deeper understanding.
We all want to do well in this experience of living life, and it’s easy to get caught up and motivated by strong desires for self-improvement, and then find them fading.
Here’s a 4-Step mindfulness practice for more effective personal growth!
- Step 1.
Before commiting yourself to a new behavior, like working out, loosing weight, or starting a meditation practice, become mindful of the fact that you’re already just fine as a human being. As Zen master Suzuki Roshi told his students, “You’re perfect just the way you are, and you could use a little improvement!”
It’s a Zen paradox, where both parts are true – but the emphasis is on the ‘already perfect’, because that’s the part we tend to discount – thinking we have to put off self-acceptance until we do the ‘self-improvement.’ In fact, our efforts are much more effective when we’re being self-friendly!
- Step 2.
Mindfully consider the new behavior you want to adopt, and take a deeper look at what you’re getting out of not doing it. There’s a payoff, sometimes hidden, in even seemingly negative behavior. For instance, maybe I get to eat whatever I want, or indulge my laziness – these might not seem like ‘good’ reasons, but they are big payoffs (e.g. security blanket or coping mechanism) that we need to be willing to give up if we want to enjoy the rewards of upgrading our living habits.
- Step 3.
Now look at what it might be costing you not to make the change, and become mindful of this question: “What price am I paying for not making the effort to change this?” Don’t necessarily try to answer it, but just be with the question and see what arises.
- Step 4.
And finally, take a few minutes to set an inner intention (“I intend to…) and visualize what it will be like when you’ve embraced the new behavior. See yourself in your mind’s eye feeling the quiet joy and peacefulness of practicing mindfulness in your daily activities and enjoying the rewards of personal growth.
Whenever you feel your motivation for positive personal change fading (and like all feelings it will come and go), return to these steps to refresh your vision and re-kindle your motivation! | <urn:uuid:3389f506-b1c7-44c6-8297-b7bbec64ccbd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://localsantacruz.com/inspiration/keep-growing/ | 2020-09-20T07:33:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.932077 | 1,101 |
By Greg Robb, MarketWatch
The numbers: Industrial production rose 5.4% in June, the second gain after a steep drop in March and April, the Federal Reserve reported Wednesday. Wall Street economists had forecast a 4.1% gain, according to a MarketWatch survey. May output was up 1.4%.
This followed a record 12.5% drop in April and a 4.4% decline in March.
Industrial production is still down 10.9% compared to pre-COVID-19 trend and production fell at a 42.6% annual rate in the second quarter, the largest quarterly decline since right after the end of the second World War.
What happened: Manufacturing rose 7.2% in June. Auto production jumped for the second straight month but remains nearly 25% below its February level. All categories of production rise except for mining, which includes oil production.
Big picture: Manufacturing is slowly recovering from the sudden stop in March and April but there is a wall of worry facing the sector, economists said, including weak demand, supply chain disruptions, and historically low oil prices.
What are they saying? “Ongoing issues related to virus-related interruptions as well as weak demand will continue to restrain output going forward,” said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.
Market reaction: U.S. stocks opened sharply higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average /zigman2/quotes/210598065/realtime DJIA -0.88% was up over 315 points in early trading. | <urn:uuid:ba1317d5-efe8-4957-b171-a0c2658d0b1e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://marketwatchus.wsj.akadns.net/story/us-industrial-output-has-second-straight-solid-gain-in-june-2020-07-15 | 2020-09-20T07:39:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961122 | 329 |
But this is not really a fashion post either. What you wear and how you look MATTERS. Sorry, it does. Always has. Probably always will. When I walk into a courtroom, I am sending a message. To the judge, to the prosecutor, to the other lawyers in the room, and most importantly, to my client and the jury. I am here, I am ready, I am the big league. This is business. I am here to win and if you think you can beat me, think again. Should it matter? In a perfect world, perhaps not. Your intellect and brilliance should shine through. But, in case you hadn't noticed, the world is not perfect. And if you don't send the message with your appearance, many will never give your intellect and brilliance the chance to shine. Now don't get me wrong. You can look impeccable, and if you are unprepared the perfect knot in your tie won't help. But it is the setting on the table.
Now, this brings me to an interesting juncture. I am pretty far left politically. Not what you would think about a guy who just spent two paragraphs telling you about suits and ties and how important they are. Although (actually, I would contend because) I am quite far left, I am not a huge fan of President Obama. But I find a lot of the criticism of him by the far right fairly juvenile. There is one area where he has been criticized recently that I think does have some merit, and it is precisely this topic. When the situation between Russia and Ukraine was beginning to heat up earlier this year, there was a photo that the White House put out of the President speaking to Vladimir Putin from the Oval Office on a Saturday. It was characterized as a very serious call, and the President was warning of sanctions. He was wearing jeans and a button-down shirt with no tie. He appears at a lot of speeches and press conferences with no tie (now, I am not knocking the tan suit. It may not have been my style, but I thought it was fine). Sorry, that's a mistake. If you don't think those "optics" (the current word for it) matter, you're kidding yourself. As I said before, the message is "I am here, I am ready, I am the big league. This is business. I am here to win and if you think you can beat me, think again".
And on top of conveying a sense of seriousness and purpose, dressing nice has other benefits.

Fifteen-year-old Bitiya endured unspeakable trauma when she was raped by four upper caste men who filmed the heinous crime for sale in the market. But she stood up to her rapists and is now fighting a case against them in Uttar Pradesh.
In 2012, then 13-year-old Bitiya (name changed), a Dalit, was gang-raped in a village in Uttar Pradesh. The men filmed the crime and sold the video in the local market.
To her horror, she was thrown out of school.
At the Women in the World Summit in New Delhi on Friday evening, she told a grim audience: “I was thrown out of the school saying I will be a bad influence on others. The school teachers treated me as an accused. The villagers pressurised me to take the complaint back.”
Her mother said police initially refused to cooperate. She said their lawyer accepted bribes from the accused and attempted to destroy the evidence.
Bitiya’s mother said: “My husband died from a heart attack after he came to know that such a video of our daughter getting raped was being sold in the local market.”
But her family continued their fight to get justice.
Bitiya said her father’s support gave her courage to file a complaint.
Local activists came to their aid. They say that since Bitiya’s family had lodged a police complaint, they were encouraged to take up the case.
Madhavi Kukreja, founder of an NGO about women’s empowerment and growth, said members of the upper caste community offered the Dalit family some money to end the case.
But Bitiya remained defiant and relentless in her pursuit of justice. She is back in school now and is fighting the case against the accused. | <urn:uuid:feb2c526-7a2d-4914-970e-d766c0a57771> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.jantakareporter.com/india/girl-gang-raped-filmed-fights-back/29119/ | 2020-09-20T06:44:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.986392 | 374 |
The BBC’s internal watchdog, BBC Trust, recently found one of the corporation’s high-profile journalists, Laura Kuenssberg, guilty of misleading her audience on a flagship news programme.
Kuenssberg had shot to fame through her relentless coverage on the 2008 economic recession with her reportage earning her plenty of plaudits from British audience. Last November, she was named journalist of the year by the Press Gazette.
The Trust concluded that Kuenssberg, the BBC’s political editor, had inaccurately attributed comments to the Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, on shoot-to-kill policies in the aftermath of the terror attacks in Paris.
The regulator, according to Media Gaurdian, found that the journalist, while appearing on the channel’s News at Six programme in November 2015 was guilty of breaching the broadcaster’s impartiality and accuracy guidelines.
Corbyn during the interview with Kuenssberg (watch below) had said, “I am not happy with a shoot-to-kill policy in general. I think that is quite dangerous and I think can often be counterproductive.”
However, when she went on air, the journalist presented it as if Corbyn having said that he will be “happy for British officers to pull the trigger in the event of a Paris-style attack.”
As the video suggests, Corbyn had made his comments in a different context and not in response to the question on Paris-style attack. In fact, in response to the question on Paris-style attack, Corbyn had not committed himself.
It was in the follow up question asked by Kuenssberg for his comments in general on shoot-to-kill policies when Corbyn said that he wouldn’t be ‘happy with a shoot-to-kill’ policy.
The recent ruling by the BBC’s internal watchdog against the corporation’s award-winning journalist assumes significance in light of an utter deterioration in media ethics in India, where channels have thrown impartiality and professionalism out of the window.
While BBC was busy censuring its own high-profile journalist for merely presenting her guest’s comments out of context, a man called Arnab Goswami, was announcing how his next media venture will be a truly nationalist outlet.
Speaking at an event attended by Maharashtra chief minister, Devendra Fadnavis, the former Times Now journalist said, “For how long will we allow the BBCs and the CNNs to define what should be the narrative in global media…It’s time for the media to openly say that we are biased for the country. A media that’s embarrassed to take a stand between India and Pakistan and pretends to be a bridge-maker doesn’t defend the interest of this country.”
It’s extraordinary that while BBC’s internal regulator was indicting its own journalist for just presenting facts out of context, a journalist (read Goswami) aiming to challenge the monopoly of the reputed British broadcaster by urging journalists to be biased.
And Goswami is not a lone proponent of media biases. An overwhelming majority of his colleagues in Indian TV industry have faced public ire for letting a certain ideology influence their editorial judgement.
This becomes more apparent in the election season with channels competing with each other to broadcast manufactured content and poll surveys to influence voters in favour of a certain political party or alliance- usually the one with deep pockets. | <urn:uuid:0877bb28-a103-4f2e-8e14-04264dc210e4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.jantakareporter.com/india/ruling-bbcs-internal-watchdog/95801/ | 2020-09-20T08:07:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967677 | 716 |

Over a hundred buses used the lane each day.
A very happy client and centre management team who where happy both with the high quality of our work and the very little disruption that was caused during a complicated project.
Team work together with excellent health and safety management.

BΣΥΘΝCΣ and the philologist
Vous pouvez lire ce texte en français sur Twitter.
It was probably not one of those planned buzz/fuss, but when Netflix unveiled the title of the documentary on Beyoncé’s Coachella show, it irritated a specific part of social networks… Classical ones (admittedly, not a very representative portion of the population). Either way, while most commentaries posted online were positive and excited, classicists vilified the announcement. Why? Because they can read Greek, and what Beyoncé has called her documentary is an abomination—or so it seems when you read them. The criticism is focused on the fact that the Greek alphabet is used as if it were just a special font for the Latin alphabet. Indeed, if you transcribe HΘMΣCΘMING from Greek into Roman, you get something that doesn’t make sense, like ĒTHSCTHMING. While it’s easy to argue that even native Greek speakers wouldn’t have any problem reading the title as intended, « Homecoming », I would like to go a bit further.
This isn’t the first time Beyoncé has used the Greek alphabet: she did it during the Coachella show itself (read all about the Egyptian references of the show, and especially Nefertiti). On the outfits created by Olivier Rousteing (see my thread here on the whole egyptomaniac strategy behind it), her name and initials were written in Greek letters. The first occurrence is associated with the coat of arms embroidered on several outfits. Referring to a bee (as in “B”eyoncé), Nefertiti and Black Panthers, it is surmounted by a winged Oudjat eye. Just below is the inscription « 20 18 ΒΣΥΘΝCΣ ». Once again, if we try to transcribe this, it doesn’t make sense: « BSUTHNCS ». The same goes for the word « BΔK », written on some outfits. I think it should not be read as « BAK » or « BDK », but as the initials of the singer’s name, Beyoncé Knowles, separated by a pyramid.
While I would like to think Beyoncé used Greek letters to write HΘMΣCΘMING as a reference to the wanderings of Ulysses on his way home, I don’t really think Classical Antiquity has anything to do with her choice (even though her video Apeshit was offering a speech on that matter). The use of Greek letters is a clear echo of American fraternities and sororities, also referred to as Greek letter organizations. The form of the coat of arms is, in itself, a reference to this culture. But there is more: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity (ΑΦΑ) was founded in 1906; it is the first African-American, intercollegiate Greek-lettered fraternity. While other fraternities traditionally referred to Ancient Greece, Alpha Phi Alpha utilized Ancient Egypt motifs, especially the Sphinx of Gizah and pharaohs. The association of Greek letters and Egypt by Beyoncé is, thus, nothing new if we put it in perspective with African-American history. As the show is conceived as a hymn to this history and to Africa’s influence, this must not be considered random, but as a political statement.
Other comparable political uses of the Greek alphabet can be mentioned. During the sixties in the USA, the Gay Activists Alliance used lowercase lambda (λ) as a logo. In this case, the lambda refers to the Unity of the Spartan phalanx and the initial letter of the word Liberation. The myth of the ancient Greek “gay utopia” is no stranger to this choice. But the lambda was also chosen so that it fits in the fraternities’ codes. More recently, you may have seen the lambda in a totally different setting. This letter, in capital this time, is often used by far right all around the world: in such cases, it is xenophobic Spartan imaginary that is put forward, in reference to the battle of Thermopylae, seen by far right as a founding confrontation between West (Spartans) and East (Persians). If this semiotic usage is not new, Frank Millers’ comic and film 300 contributed to the popularization of the motif and its “pop” transformation.
To conclude, even if the use of Greek letters were purely aesthetic or evocative, what would be the problem with HΘMΣCΘMING? As a matter of fact, people do this all the time (even Greek restaurants). Rather than complaining about Beyoncé, classicists could perhaps do better, criticizing and deconstructing the use of the Greek alphabet by political organisations in which the so-called humanism of classical culture is harmed and violently re-used. | <urn:uuid:dffbd778-2c07-42e7-90e4-b3ff206e745d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://antiquipop.hypotheses.org/6858 | 2020-09-20T08:10:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.946303 | 1,066 |
In a fin-tech initiative, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance recently launched #TweetInsurance @BajajAllianz, aimed at helping policyholders and prospective customers get quotes on policies, updates on claims and even a soft copy of the policy document online. “#TweetInsurance is a first of its kind initiative to help both customers and non-customers get information and services in a click with a tweet,” says a Bajaj Allianz spokesperson.
For mediclaim, users can get information on preferred networked hospital locations and insurance branches. @Bajaj Allianz, which has 29,600 followers, says #TweetInsurance will also help in getting updates on the status of a claim or policy.
The handle, also posts pictures of its own employees engaged in a Swachh Bharat Abhiyan campaign as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme. Max Life also comes up with posters and greeting cards that can be downloaded for Mother’s Day, Earth Day, etc. The Mother’s Day cards showing a cool mom listening to music on her headphones and another juggling a laptop and a kid, seems to have touched a chord with Max Life’s followers going by the response. At SBI Life Insurance, to promote a women-centric policy their twitter handle @SBILife has a series of candid photos of socialite Shoba De through the years as its header photo.

Here are a few important things you need to know.
Spending the past one and a half months in uncertainty and adjusting to a new normal has not been easy for everyone. We’ve been thinking of all those who are greatly affected, and our hearts and prayers go out to them as we go through this challenging time together.
As for our business, many photo shoots were cancelled with almost no new bookings for the rest of the year to follow. Scary times for us for sure. But understandably, it’s because of the nature of our business and the fact that personal health and safety among our clients and our staff is priority.
Meanwhile our team continues to keep our spirits up by encouraging each other. Many of us are learning new things and expanding our skill set. We’re also keeping the conversation going on social media by sharing work that we’ve done before and also providing content creation resources for you to apply even when working from home.
Another encouraging note to add this week is the announcement of the Conditional Movement Control Order. With that, we are ready to open our studio and photography services again but following certain conditions. We will ensure health and safety measures are in place according to the Malaysian government’s advice and this how we will be operating:
- Our photography and videography services (including corporate headshots, group photos, and videos) are available at the studio for up to 10 people only, including the photographer / crew
- Our studio will be equipped with hand sanitizers and extra face masks for your use in between the shots.
- Our staff will continue to work from home and only come to the studio if there is an appointment.
- We will practice social distancing in our movements, regular hand washing, and our team will be wearing masks at all times. There will be no hand-to-hand or body contact between our photographers and those being photographed.
- We are also available to travel to your office if needed or do outdoor photo / video shoots but in open-air places for only up to 10 people only, including the photographer and video crew. This will also depend on whether we are able to obtain official permissions from the location of choice and if your office or the shoot location is within the boundaries of our travel ability during the CMCO.
- We are also available to have virtual meetings with your team to plan for shoots ahead
- If you already have a shoot booked with us but it has been postponed do let us know when you’re ready to reschedule it again.
While the world seems quieter and we’re all keeping behind closed doors, we understand business communication efforts need to continue as usual.
It’s a tricky thing to manage – wanting to continue creating quality content to market your brand – yet adhering to safety concerns in the given situation. And if this is something that has been on your mind, do reach out to us and we will find the best way possible to help you.

It was a very close race, but weekend estimates are giving James Bond second place at the US box office.
According to MSN, Quantum of Solace grossed $27.4 million in its second weekend, just narrowly beating the $27 million debut of Disney’s Bolt.
In what was a surprise to no one, Bond was pushed out of the #1 spot from last weekend thanks to the arrival of Summit Entertainment’s vampire romance Twilight, which amassed an impressive $70.6 million debut.
Despite a harsh 59% drop from last weekend’s stunning $67.5 million debut, Quantum of Solace has remained a force to be reckoned with at the US box office. This weekend saw the Bond film pass the $100 million mark faster than any other film in the 007 series. It’s cumulative total stands at $109.5 million.
‘We’re in great shape. We’re way ahead of where we were with Casino Royale,’ said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony.

Marilu Reyna, Executive Vice President – Public Affairs and Communications of the BCFS System, has been appointed to serve on the board of directors for Port San Antonio.
The former Kelly Air Force Base is a leading example of base redevelopment and was named the Base Redevelopment Community of the Year by the Association of Defense Communities in 2010. Most recently, it was named Business of the Year by the San Antonio Business Journal.
The 1,900-acre facility, situated just southwest of downtown San Antonio, is home to more than 80 tenants including leading global industries employing more than 13,000 people in the fields of aerospace, defense, energy, manufacturing and cyber security. It also serves as the headquarters for the U.S. Air Force Cyber Command.
This unique property is served by air, railway and highway transportation networks and generates over $5.6 billion in annual economic activity in the region.
Marilu was appointed to the post by City Councilwoman Rebecca Viagran for a two-year term.
“I am honored to have this opportunity to serve the community,” Marilu said. “Port San Antonio is a key part of our city’s economic infrastructure providing job growth and opportunities for business expansion.” | <urn:uuid:e4d198ad-a74b-4509-8f5f-fcd8dc486dd6> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://discoverbcfs.net/news/evp-joins-port-san-antonio-board/ | 2020-09-20T07:40:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.966596 | 259 |
From Hixie, some info on the case against Jon Johansen, the kid who caused the DVD encryption debacle to make the international news:
It’s been reported all over the place, of course, but this week Oslo has seen the opening of the trial of Jon Lech Johansen, who, as far as I can tell, is accused of trying to watch a DVD that he had bought.
Yeah, we can’t have that. Whatever next.

Canadian Living. This is also a great cake to serve during the Christmas holidays or just about any time. It's not your grandmother's Fruit Cake! I've changed some of the ingredients--I never use margarine. No time to bake today? Have a glass of Brandy with some fruit and chocolate! Or take some Brandied Fruit and pour over chocolate ice cream.
Storing fruits in brandy is a simple way to preserve the harvest season without the hassle of canning. To make your own brandied fruit, all you need is ripened fruit, sugar, and brandy (the higher the quality, the better). Wash the fruit, peel off any skin, and slice if necessary. Fill half a container with brandy and add the fruit. For each cup of fruit you add, stir in 1/6 cup of sugar. Make sure all the fruit is submerged in the mixture, cover the container, and store it in a dark place. You can continue to add fruit at any time. Brandied fruit will be cured after a couple of months. Better get going if you want to make this for the holidays.
CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH BRANDIED FRUIT
1 cup finely chopped pitted prunes
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup Brandy
7 oz dark chocolate (65-75% cacao), chopped
1 cup unsalted butter
1-1/2 cups finely ground almonds
pinch of salt
4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 oz dark chocolate (65-75% cacao), chopped
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 tbsp Brandy
1/2 cup sliced almonds
Grease and line bottom and side of 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper; set aside.
In saucepan, bring prunes, raisins, and brandy to boil over medium heat; reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until brandy is absorbed, 3 minutes. Let cool.
In heatproof bowl over saucepan of simmering water, melt chocolate and butter. Let cool slightly.
In small bowl, whisk almonds with salt; set aside.
In large bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar until pale and thickened. Beat in chocolate mixture. Fold in almond mixture then prune mixture.
In large bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold half into batter; fold in remaining whites. Scrape into prepared pan. Bake in center of 375°F oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until puffed and cake tester inserted in center comes out with a few crumbs clinging to it.
Let cool in pan on rack. Remove pan ring; invert onto rack. Remove paper and let cool completely.
Glaze: Meanwhile, in saucepan over simmering water, melt chocolate with butter. Remove from heat; stir in brandy. Let cool for about 10 minutes or until thick enough to spread. Spread all over cake.
Garnish: Press almonds onto side. Refrigerate until glaze is set, about 1 hour.
Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. | <urn:uuid:93727879-0970-4801-b960-a5577614b57c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dyingforchocolate.blogspot.com/2018/10/chocolate-cake-with-brandied-fruit.html | 2020-09-20T08:36:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.898697 | 650 |

This is Bethesda's Official FAQ about Daggerfall, maintained here for historical interest since Bethesda no longer provides it on its website. It is the final release (v1.2) of the FAQ, which was originally posted in the Bethesda Forum on CompuServe in the Tech Support Library on 24 October 1996. It was retrieved from a repost on the newsgroup comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg.
Other available Daggerfall FAQs are:
- This is an archive of a historical document and should not be edited other than formatting, links, or minor typos.
I have a Cyrix CPU, and the game keeps locking up/crashing. Is there a fix?
The problem is fixed in the DAG177 update.
I'm having a lot of trouble reading the Automap! Any help?
Here are some tips for using the automap. You can't annotate the map per se, but you can click on a section (it will start blinking), then click on the gray bar at the bottom and type stuff in. It's best to use this for passages that split (e.g. Went West, next time go North).
The map is the key. Everytime you come to an intersection, check the map. See where you have been and where you haven't. Another thing to do is the Left/Right rule. In a maze/dungeon. Always go in the same direction. Always make a Left/Right turn and you will either find everything or find your way back to the exit. When you are lost, drop a piece of inventory (not gold) at the intersections that you try. This will tell you - I've been that way, time to try another.
Please note you can right click on a section of the map and it will vanish - you can also view it in 2D by clicking the red square. The Automap feature does take a bit of getting used to, but once you do, you'll see it the most innovative automap ever created.
When running the install routine I consistently get the following error:"dos error: file font0000.fnt not found". What does this mean?
The message you are getting is due to the incorrect version of MSCDEX. You must have MSCDEX v2.23 or higher. Type MSCDEX at the DOS prompt and the version will be displayed. If you go to the Bethesda web site (www.bethsoft.com) and select DAGGERFALL and then tech/patches there will be an MSCDEX button you can click on which will download the correct version of MSCDEX. Delete and reinstall the game after you have updated MSCDEX to the correct version. Dosbox users should ensure the target directory (default is
C:\DAGGER\) is created before installing.
My save games are corrupted, can I do anything to prevent this?
You should run the game with Write Caching disabled when running the game from within Win95. In order to turn Write Caching off, you'll need to double Click on "My Computer" and then again on the Control Panel icon. Once the Control Panel is up, double click on the System icon, and select the Performance Tab. Towards the bottom of the Performance Page, you'll see a File System... icon. Click on this, and then select the Trouble Shooting Tab. The very last listing is:
Disable write-behind caching for all drives.
Click on the box next to it so a check mark appears. Then click on Apply, and re-boot your PC. This will disable the Write Caching. To enable it, just repeat these steps, clicking on the check mark box to enable it. Reboot.
If you have a crash with the game, having write caching turned on, could cause your saved game to be trashed. This is why it is recommend that it be turned off.
The ORACLE quest is broken
Skip and try something else.
Sometimes Aubki won't acknowledge the return of the letters. Don't worry it is not a big thing and will not stop you from winning the game.
I am getting a message that the bethesda.inf file cannot be found.
MEDIUM INSTALL BUG. There is a problem with the medium install. Please copy REPORT.EXE from your ARENA2 subdirectory on the Daggerfall CD to the ARENA2 subdirectory on your hard drive. Please do this BEFORE attempting to run the game. If you have already started the game you should see a noticeable improvement in stability.
How do you climb ladders?
Climbing Ladders : To climb a ladder make sure you have the grab icon active (F2). then click on the ladder. You will go right up.
There is currently a problem with REPUTATION
in the nightly which will cause your advancement to be very slow. The same thing seems to be happening in the DARK BROTHERHOOD.
RUNNING UNDER WIN95
When I play the game from Win 95 - I run the install from a DOS window ( if the auto run is not broken). I have an SB AWE32 which is set at 220, Irq5 and Dma1 - high DMA 5. When I select sound select SB 16/32 and manually enter the values 220, 5 and1. I DO NOT USE DMA 5. For midi I again select sb16/awe 32 and take the default Port value the set up program uses. I disable write caching in WIN 95. I have no autoexec.bat and I have a small CONFIG.SYS which has 2 lines. The first line is DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS and the second is FILES=99. That's it and it runs fine for me under WIN 95 All my other drivers are WIN 95 drivers. If you need to load real mode drivers, you should play the game from a DOS boot disk.
If you have a SB16
and are experiencing a lot of crashes please try selecting SBPRO and see if that helps.
If you are running a Promise EIDE card in my machine
It boots by default in "Turbo mode" . When you override that and set it to "normal mode", many of your problems will disappear.
The problems which will be solved by this are:.
- Various causeway crashes
- blanked screens
If you are experiencing sound card troubles
select Sound Blaster compatible mode if your sound card supports one. There are currently problems with the GUS and Roland Sound Canvas.
It is NOT a bug if a Main quest stays in your log book after you have completed it. It will go away when the sequel quest is generated. Do NOT worry about it.
I had Lycanthropy and even after the cure quest my hit points are still low.
When you get Lycanthropy your hit points will drop to 4. To raise your hit points you must go out and eat some townspeople. If you raise a level BEFORE applying Patch 177, your hit point will be permanently set at the level they were at when you leveled. If you had not been eating townspeople to keep your hit points up then you will be stuck at a fairly low HP level.
I get errors 1002/1004 when I try to load a save game?
Try the FIXSAVE.ZIP in the library. Be sure to follow the directions and remember this program is still in beta. HOWEVER it will not fix quests which are part of the main quest.
I have enchanted an item and my games crashes with an error 1000
If you have enchanted an item with REPAIR ITEM, the game will crash with an error 1000 when you try to equip or use the item.
The following Spells DO NOT WORK!
- Transfer Attribute
- Detect treasure/monster/item/enemy etc.
I get stuck in my house and it has no walls.
When you first buy a house, travel to another city and return BEFORE entering your house. This will prevent disappearing walls.
There is a bug with ships which causes an ERROR 2 crash to DOS when you select them as your travel option by Hitting T/clicking on the Legs and selecting SHIP.
Some house owners may experience a 2030 everytime they attempt to travel if they own a house.
Both of these bugs will be fixed in the next patch (v1.79).
If you get the WABBAJACK
from Sheogorath, the game will crash when you try to equip or use it.
I can't see the monsters - I can hear them and hit them, but can't see them.
This appears to be a problem caused by using QEMM in stealth mode. DAGGERFALL does NOT require the use of QEMM and it is better not to use it all. Once you stop using QEMM your monsters will appear.
I get crashes sometimes when buying spells?
When you buy spells, some people experience a crash after highlighting the spell and then clicking on BUY. This can also cause unpredictable results.
To correct this problem please DOUBLE-CLICK on the spell you want to buy.
Sometimes when asking about people I get dropped to DOS with a 115 error.
If you have taken the quest for the Cursed Mummy Finger, the game will crash when you try to ask about People. The problem will go away when you finish the quest or the time expires. DO NOT TAKE THIS QUEST!
What are the lamps and torches for? Can you use them?
You cannot use the lamps and torches. Just sell them at Pawn shops.
I contracted Lycanthropy. MY hit point are down to 4 what can I do?
Your hit points will drop to 4 until your go out and kill some townspeople. YOU need to morph into human form and then when you are next to a townperson, morph into Lycanthrope form and kill them. The Lycanthropy spell will morph you between Lycanthrope and human shape.
What other settings should I change to increase my stability in Win 95
- Shutting down the tool-bar for MS Office
- Prevent Daggerfall from seeing Windows '95 under the program properties options.
- Finally, run this as a full screen app. under protected mode with exclusive mouse control.
What sound cards DO NOT work in the game.
The Ensonique VIVO will NOT WORK IN DAGGERFALL. It will crash the game.
I have a GRAVIS card - But it doesn't work.
You will have to run your GUS in Sound Blaster Compatible mode.
What is the best way to configure my DOS system to play Daggerfall?
Since there are so many different systems, this question needs to be addressed on an individual bases. There are however, some basics. You'll need some working knowledge of DOS, and what drivers your system uses. A boot disk is often the best approach.
Here is a typical DOS CONFIG:
CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS DOS=HIGH,UMB FILES=99 BUFFERS=40 LASTDRIVE=Z STACKS=9,256 SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS /P /E:2048 DEVICEHIGH=C:\PWRSCSI!\DCAM18XX.EXE /APM -----Loads SCSI drive DEVICEHIGH=C:\PWRSCSI!\FDCD.SYS /D:MSCD0001 ---- Loads CDROM driver AUTOEXEC.BAT PROMPT $P$G PATH=C:\DOS;C:\WINDOWS;C:\UTIL;C:\CPEDIT;C:\3DS4;C:\ANI;C:\QEMM LH C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM LH C:\DOS\DOSKEY.COM SET COMSPEC=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM LH C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD0001 /M:12 /E LH C:\DOS\SMARTDRV /X SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H1 P300 T6 SET SOUND=C:\SB16 SET MIDI=SYNTH:1 MAP:E C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE /S C:\SB16\SB16SET /P
How do I get help?
Phone: Technical Support is available at (301) 963-2002, Monday - Friday, between the hours of 11 a.m. - 6 p.m.
On-Line - COMPUSERVE - GO BETHESDA
If you need technical help, you need to include information that will enable the tech to help you better. Be sure to include the following information whenever you're asking for help.
Are you running under Win95 or DOS? How much installed memory do you have on your machine? What sound-card do you have? Using the sound set-up set the game to NO MUSIC/NO SOUND. If you still have the same problem, let tech support know you've tried this. If the problem is gone, you have a sound card problem, and it's important to let them know what type of card you have, and the setting the card is set at. Is Write caching turned off in Win 95?

Even though I grew up in New Mexico, I did not know about Calabacitas until I had it recently with breakfast. Turns out it is a traditional New Mexico side dish. It means squash in Spanish and there are tons of ways to make it but zucchini and/or summer squash are the stars. This version includes cheese which you could leave out to make it a bit more low-calorie. I love the cheese though. | <urn:uuid:836843f1-b59c-485e-bff4-33df3dc6b8c0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://floskitchen.blog/2017/10/ | 2020-09-20T08:48:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.984482 | 90 |
Pro golfer and Puma brand ambassador Rickie Fowler has made no secret of the fact that he’s a huge Arnold Palmer fan.
At this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational at the Bay Hill Club in Orlando, Fla., Fowler plans to show just how much he reveres the late golf legend, who passed away in 2016. The 29-year-old, currently ranked seventh on the PGA Tour, has teamed up with Puma Golf to design a pair of custom high-top cleats that he will wear during competition at Bay Hill. A second, identical pair — freshly autographed by Fowler — will be up for grabs for one lucky fan through a special sweepstakes to benefit Arnie’s Army, Palmer’s charitable foundation.
The cleats are decorated with a colorful “dancing umbrella” print — a Palmer signature — on the vamp. The left heel sports the message “Long Live AP,” and the right heel reads “The Legend Lives On.” The underside of the shoe’s Velcro strap features Palmer’s birthdate followed by an infinity sign (symbolizing Palmer’s immortality), while the sock liner is inscribed with his PGA Tour victories. And in a fun touch, a bright pink lining on the collar pays tribute to Palmer’s famous pink shirts.
Watch on FN
To participate in the sweepstakes, fans must make a minimum donation of $10 to Arnie’s Army. This enters them to win not only the autographed pair but one of 62 pairs of limited-edition Arnie’s Army Puma PWRAdapt shoes (representing Palmer’s 62 PGA Tour wins) or one of 175 limited-edition Arnie’s Army Puma Snapback caps. The sweepstakes, which kicked off yesterday, runs until March 22 at midnight PT. Click here to learn more.
Puma also is auctioning off seven pairs of custom PWRAdapt shoes, commemorating some of Palmer’s major wins — from the 1958 Masters Tournament to the 1962 Open Championship. The bidding has already topped $1,000 for some of the styles. | <urn:uuid:b8ee5135-40aa-4838-b1c1-b007b8f8d19a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://footwearnews.com/2018/focus/athletic-outdoor/puma-rickie-fowler-arnold-palmer-shoes-517883/ | 2020-09-20T07:01:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.892267 | 452 |

Ronda J Green, BSc(Hons) PhD, is chair of Wildlife Tourism Australia Inc. and adjunct research fellow at Griffith University. She runs Araucaria Ecotours specialising in educational wildlife tours (all with advanced eco-certification), was part of the Wildlife sector of the CRC for Sustainable Tourism, is guest editor of Journal of Ecotourism, and has been an invited speaker on sustainable wildlife tourism in Indonesia, Malaysia, Fiji and Japan. She has conducted much ecological research (seed dispersal by frugivores, effects of habitat alteration on wildlife etc.), lectured in ecology and nature tourism at several universities, conducted many fauna surveys, and authored and edited numerous publications on wildlife tourism and ecology. Lockdown has halted tours for now, but she is currently writing books, collating a report on recent WTA webinars, renovating a wildlife ecology centre and nature trails on her rainforest property, and (through Wildlife Queensland) organising the establishment of wildlife corridors.
Sustainable Wildlife Tourism in Asia and the Pacific: Future Perspectives
In 2019 the UNWTO commissioned us to prepare a report on sustainable wildlife tourism in Asia and the Pacific, under the framework of the UNWTO/Chimelong Initiative, focusing on good practice examples of non-consumptive and primarily non-captive wildlife tourism. This involved consulting with world experts on criteria for selecting good practice examples, and doing much internet research and consultation with persons involved in tourism wildlife conservation and animal welfare in every country in the region, eventually settling on eighteen examples spread across a number of countries and types of operation (ecolodges, guided tours, sole traders, multinational companies, government initiatives, and marine and terrestrial habitats). We here present some examples of good-practice interpretation, environmental safeguards, biodiversity conservation projects, animal welfare, citizen science and contribution to local community that could well be emulated elsewhere. Some problems with achieving good practice are presented, along with some possible solutions. Finally, we note some of the gaps we found, such as the relative lack of botanical tours compared to other world regions, lack of online promotion of many natural areas, at least in English, difficulty of finding of good wildlife experiences in some countries, and some largely missed opportunities for interpretation of wildlife and ecosystems. These gaps, in conjunction with the examples of excellence plus opportunities to cater for domestic tourism within the wildlife tourism field to better cope with downturns in international travel (such as Covid-19 lockdown), can help guide the way for wildlife tourism enterprises into the future. | <urn:uuid:fd02d720-85b5-4a0c-bef4-9ab0adf76570> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://globaleco.com.au/speakers/2020/ronda-green | 2020-09-20T06:52:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.92462 | 518 |
A sneak peek at MINI LIVING – INVERT 3.0
With mere weeks remaining until green magazine and MINI present MINI LIVING – INVERT 3.0 in collaboration with RMIT University, a newly-released video gives a glimpse of the work of architects and architecture students involved in the exhibition. Watch it here. MINI LIVING – INVERT 3.0 will explore the architectural potential of laneways and offer unique takes on communal living, adaptive reuse and sustainable mobility in Australian cities and suburbs.
Both architects and students have seized the opportunity to expand upon the brief to design an independent dwelling on a piece of land carved from a suburban Melbourne block. In the video, RMIT architecture students reveal their design for a shared “forest” between neighbouring properties.
Architects’ scale models will be displayed along with RMIT students’ larger model that will take a look at the broader picture of laneways and their potential – fittingly, in a Melbourne CBD laneway venue open to the public.
green magazine is also releasing MINI Portraits audio tours in the lead-up to the exhibition via social media and online. These episodes join participating architects on a brief tour of a Melbourne laneway that’s special to them. Watch MINI Portraits online here.
green magazine editor, Tamsin O’Neill says: “Feedback from both architects and RMIT students is revealing a diversity of ideas for the site and the surrounding landscape. We are looking forward to seeing how each has responded to the brief and to the treatment of each model.”

About MINI Living
MINI Living started in 2016 and is dedicated to developing novel residential concepts for urban conurbations worldwide. Developments in big cities such as space shortage and price increases are taken into account, as well as the desire for flexibility, local identity and communal interaction. In order to address these diverse aspects, the project takes the “creative use of space” principle as developed for the classic Mini in the field of automotive design and applies it to the residential context. | <urn:uuid:ff4df623-1fce-40fb-90ae-59f35b7c2ace> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://greenmagazine.com.au/a-sneak-peek-at-mini-living-invert-3-0/ | 2020-09-20T08:10:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.937198 | 459 |
Recently, it was reported that Intel would be rolling out Broadwell-Class desktop CPUs by Q3 2014, however now its pointed out that Intel is currently developing couple of very small factor based PC units codenamed ‘Rock Canyon’ NUC with Core i3 and Core i5 CPUs using Broadwell architecture. Along with the desktop processor counterparts, even these are planned for Q3 2014 release. If these units are priced right, this should tempt a lot of people.
The ‘Rock Canyon’ NUC units would be emphasizing on living room computing setups, and will have the appropriate implementations. The NUC will have USB 3.0, HDMI and DisplayPort along with M.2 slot for SSD and an infrared module. It will also feature NFC to sweeten the deal.
The ‘Maple Canyon’ is slated for a later release, but its more for business-class users. These units are based on Broadwell micro-architecture, but along with i5 series it will have vPro, Virtualization, Active Management, added security and remote management. This will feature USB 3.0, DisplayPort, M.2 slot or 2.5″ drive slot and an Ethernet port.
Both units will have Irs Pro graphics with 128MB eDRAM for caching. According to the source, its expected that Intel’s next gen graphics processor would support DX11.1+, OpenGL 4.1 and OpenCL 1.x, along with MPEG/JPEG decoding acceleration, Intel Quick Sync and 4K display output. | <urn:uuid:45b7d5b1-fad7-4b7b-b615-8efbcdadaf95> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hardwarebbq.com/intel-preparing-2-broadwell-based-nuc-nfc-vpro-support/ | 2020-09-20T07:32:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.945995 | 321 |

>Although the week has been long, it’s been successful in my neck of the woods.
I’ve been drinking water like it’s going out of style, and my bladder tells me so, haha. The scale at the gym weighed me in a few pounds heavier than a week ago. I’m honestly not sure if it’s just because I was overeating pretty much every day (but I did burn thousands of calories week before last) or if it’s because my body is so thankful for rehydration! I’m sure this is normal, but the backs of my thighs are getting so muscular, like so much so that my pants are starting to feel snug.
I’m completely over caffeine headaches, but I will tell you that nothing this morning sounded better than a grande white chocolate mocha with an extra shot. I have to say that with no caffeine and tons more fluids, I’m feeling more clear-headed and I don’t think my moods are fluctuating as much.
For my running this week I went to the gym. I’ve been training outside all winter long and frankly, I’m sick of it! Sick of the layers, the cold hands, etc. And honestly, seven miles on the treadmill the other night wasn’t too bad. I made sure to drink water as I was running, and I wore my heart rate strap. The treadmills at the gym pick up the HR so I was able to monitor that. Everything was fine – no crazy spikes, and no SVT episodes at all this week.
I had my echocardiogram on Tuesday morning before work. It was probably the coolest thing I’ve ever had done (well, you know, besides getting stitches when I was 14 and having my heart stopped two weeks ago;). The technician was very friendly and explained everything to me. It’s just amazing to see the heart in its glory… I honestly don’t know how one can not believe in a Creator after learning about how the heart works. Or even how our bodies function at all! The doctor still hasn’t called back with results, so I will probably be calling them early next week. I am confident, however, that this is not a chronic issue as long as I take care of myself.
I did get the results back from the blood draw, and my ferritin (iron stores) were at the lowest of the range, a 6 on a scale of 6 to 137. People don’t start feeling normal until that level is around a 50. And it can take months to get my iron levels back to that. My cousin who is a nurse told me to eat raw red meat! Haha. I will definitely be eating red meat for awhile. It’s a very good excuse to eat steak on a regular basis. Mmm. | <urn:uuid:1de4a8b7-38d4-444b-b420-a1bfd6bc7f3f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://merciespermile.com/2011/03/12/get-right-back-up-again/ | 2020-09-20T08:11:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971519 | 608 |
A Michigan emergency room nurse on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic issued a dire warning and chilling update on the reality of the virus and the strain it is having on hospitals, begging people to stay home and warning that “it’s getting to the point now that it’s going to be just like Italy.”
Mary MacDonald, who works for the Ascension Health System, posted a viral update on Instagram this week, detailing her experience after working at the Southfield location to assist with an influx of patients.
“I’ll have to admit, in being totally transparent, if you had asked me ten-plus days ago if I thought this was going to get as bad as it was, I would have told you no,” she said in the video.
“It’s getting to the point now that it’s going to be just like Italy. We intubated, from 10:00 p.m. last night to this morning, we intubated two of my patients within a half hour. And upwards of ten patients were put on ventilators. My patient took the last ventilator available in the hospital,” she said, further detailing the chilling new reality. | <urn:uuid:e0625ac9-b714-45bd-bf14-f30b832c30b9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://michaelsavage.com/michigan-er-nurse-its-going-to-be-just-like-italy/ | 2020-09-20T07:24:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.966095 | 258 |
Study: Bad relationships can ruin you financially
By Nigel Boys
According to researchers at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, if you want to be successful in your company and earn that much-needed promotion ahead of the others, you’d better choose a spouse who is supportive, but conscientious around the home.
The researchers found that workers who are focused on their important goals the most are usually in a relationship with a partner who is practical at home and keeps them relatively satisfied. They also found that even if the employed spouse isn’t particularly conscientious at his or her workplace, if their spouse demonstrates this quality at home, they are more liable to try harder.
One researcher said that especially for those who find themselves being rather lazy at work, the best thing for them to do is find a partner who is the exact opposite at home. In other words, their good example of being a fine homemaker will either encourage you to be more conscientious at work or make you feel guilty and motivate you to try harder to provide for them.
The study also found that partners who are conscientious in providing for their family at their workplace, tend to rub off some of their enthusiasm on an otherwise lazy spouse at home, resulting in them getting more done and getting more organized.
On the other hand, someone who is lazy around the house may eventually persuade their spouse to perform in a similar fashion at work, according to Jeff Haden, ghostwriter, speaker and contributing editor for Inc.com. He adds that this proves the old saying of the late entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker, Emanuel James “Jim” Rohn, who declared that people will turn out to be the average of the five people they spend the most time with.
Haden is not saying that marrying a conscientious partner will mean that you will live the rest of your life in a boring, routine existence, or that you should divorce a partner who you feel is lacking in their duties.
The author of TransForm: Dramatically Improve Your Career, Business, Relationships, and Life…One Simple Step at a Time does state that if you find that your partner is lacking in some areas, you might want to help them out. He adds that whether it is routine household chores or managing the family budget, you could take over some of their responsibilities to lighten their load and show your support. | <urn:uuid:846f128e-6f16-4fa4-b17e-47737e5180b9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://moneymaven.io/blackwealthchannel/love-money/study-bad-relationships-can-ruin-you-financially-nGAhUM4YTEeqblEsLCkPxQ | 2020-09-20T07:16:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973459 | 481 |

Readers may recall that this DUP MEP undertook to support my campaign for compensation for those killed or injured by PIRA semtex. I asked her to lobby the European Union for the release of a tiny fraction of the billions of pounds of frozen Libyan funds.
She agreed to help.
I have emailed her , asking for an update, on 25 September and 13 October, but no reply.
Those who voted for her might be interested in the subject matter of the ten written questions she is recorded by the EU as having asked in the period August to September 2014.
Tackling the hyper-sexualisation of society
Securing a safe and transparent food chain
Compliance with the EU Industrial Emissions Directive
EU législation pertaining to VAT registration
Support for those fleeing the Islamic State on Turkish Border
Sustaining an acceptable working age
Preventing a rise in EU anti-Semitism
EU action against the Islamic State
Protection for minority faith groups in Iraq
Improving air safety in conflict zones
Impressive stuff you might think and all close to the hearts and interests of the ordinary NI citizen
Mrs Dodds has an interesting record re question asking. On 20th May 2014 the Belfast News Letter reported that at the mid point of the last EU parliament, she had asked just 39 questions. But by April 2014, as the election neared, “that number had soared to 437”. The paper went on –of the 437 questions 77% have been asked “since the start of last year”

Hello, world. My name is Nina, and I’m one of the two creators of (Pop) Culturally Informed, and I’m excited to write my very first post in our brand new blog. To tell the truth, I’ve been pretty impatient about writing this to begin with.
The reason for my impatience is probably that there is JUST SO MUCH GOING ON in pop culture this week! The Toronto Film Festival is underway. Summer series are wrapping up, including but not limited to The Newsroom (my second-favorite best worst show on television, second only to True Blood) and Breaking Bad (which I haven’t begun yet, but my cohort Ben will absolutely be able to talk about once he gets his feels together). It’s Fashion Week! Miley just got dumped from a Vogue cover because Anna Wintour can’t move past Twerkgate! That mommy porn movie, Fifty Shades of Grey, just cast its two leads, two unfortunate actors who will now have to carry that baggage around for the rest of their lives!
That last piece of pop culture information leads me to an important point about this blog. Ben and I started this project with the belief that our interests make us a great pop culture duo, which led to me making a joke about how Ben likes “smart stuff” and I could “write about the Kardashians.” That’s an oversimplification, but is also kind of true. While Ben will probably cover the end of Breaking Bad and start premature Oscar prognostications (because the true heart of a pop culture blog is seriously early award show coverage), I’m totally willing to cover various Kardashian antics and casting news for awful sex book adaptations. I’ll also be covering the final season of Mad Men and the next season of Game of Thrones, because I watch those and Ben doesn’t. So everything will eventually even out.
And with all of that rambling out of the way, I’m free to begin the week with one of our weekly features, A Piece of My Mind. The mysteries of the Fifty Shades movie adaptation. Coming soon. | <urn:uuid:5b6a740b-b87b-4fa5-920f-13d55797e251> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://popculturallyinformed.com/2013/09/09/all-systems-are-go/ | 2020-09-20T07:44:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.940325 | 452 |
Why would anyone “beg for war,” in the words of American ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley? Why would anyone say such a thing, when they seem to gain so little from war?
The consequences of a general war on the Korean peninsula are obvious to anyone who’s bothered with half an article from a litany of sources. The mushroom clouds, the artillery barrages, the refugee crisis, the body bags – it all beggars the imagination.
Yet here we are, wondering if we shall have a second Korean War, when no one thinks it’s a very good idea.
On most superficial of surfaces, this is the tale of a Korean madman facing down an American one – of two sons of privilege unused to being told no meeting one another on the world stage. Or it might be the story of familiar American imperialism, wearing a Trumpian mask, reaching for the throat of the last Marxist paradise on Earth. Or maybe it’s a simple good guy vs. bad guy narrative and the butcher of Pyongyang merely seeks new victims for his death camps. On a more rational note, maybe it’s a regime grasping at nuclear straws to avoid the fates of Saddam and Gaddafi, the go-to line now of the Kims themselves.
In a sense, all of them have true enough strands, but all of them overlook a basic point: North Korea is very small, very isolated, and very containable. There is no good reason for America to wag a nuclear sword at it, or for the U.S. to take its propaganda seriously. Nor is there good reason for China to risk its neck for its rude antics.
Unless you think in terms of the credibility gap.
The Chinese problem
For China, the credibility gap is a threat to its “peaceful rise.” If China seeks to supplant, supplement, or balance the American world order, it cannot afford many mistakes.
North Korea is a Cold War geopolitical relic in more ways than one. The regime of Kim Il Sung, the country’s founding father, was given form and function by China’s Mao Zeodong. In the euphoria of victory after the Chinese civil war in 1949, Mao saw China as the Asian arm of global Communism, primed to exploit collapsing European empires. Korea was a springboard for contesting Japan and dominating northeast Asia. In such times, China saw the path to hegemony through the lens of Communism.
But China no longer wants to project global Communism; North Korea is no longer ideologically useful. Nor it is as strategic as it once was. China’s peaceful rise is not based on aggressive expansionism, but rather in testing American alliances and hoping the U.S. makes mistakes that it can exploit. It’s island-building strategy in the South China Seas makes more sense when thought of this way; this is not land-grabbing war-mongering, but institution-testing alliance-cracking, trying to prove the Americans and their rules are not credible to the states of the region.
This makes a massive army on the DMZ less useful to China; the notion that they’re overly worried about an American army on the Yalu River is overblown, since any conventional invasion by the U.S. against a nuclear power is simply unthinkable.
Rather, for China, North Korea is an unfortunate linchpin in the peaceful rise strategy. To convince states to switch to the Chinese camp, Beijing must be seen as a reliable guarantor of security and prosperity. But because China spent years burning bridges with the Soviet Union, it has almost no historical alliances leftover from the Communist era – except North Korea.
So Beijing has been forced to walk a fine line: it cannot abandon North Korea wholly or it risks setting itself back for years as a credible partner as part of its peaceful rise strategy, but nor does it benefit from North Korea’s saber rattling, nuclear program, or hopes to reunify Korea under the Kim dynasty. Nothing would upend a peaceful rise like a general war in northeast Asia.
Instead, China has been content to allow North Korea to steadily isolate it through its own bad actions. Thanks to continued North Korean missteps, China has been able to cut some 1/3rds of its exports to the regime. The seismic nature of these sanctions shouldn’t be understated: China has avoided punishing North Korea substantially for years, and only after repeated slaps in the face has Beijing finally brought to bear some of its considerable power.
That solves the Chinese conundrum nicely: the worse North Korea behaves, the less it looks like China is abandoning it and the more it looks like a responsible, mature member of the global community. That keeps it from being exposed to a new credibility gap. The peaceful rise, in other words, can continue.
The American problem
If the Chinese worry about their grand strategy hitting too many bumps in the road, the Americans worry on a more primal level that their superpower status could be fatally undermined by some sore spot like North Korea. Trump’s rhetoric exemplifies this natural American insecurity: his “fire and fury” comment displayed the worry that the world is forgetting how powerful America’s military remains, that the big stick of the U.S. state is no longer getting the respect it deserves after 16 years of marginally unsuccessful war in the Middle East.
This is part of the reason Trump is okay with stepping on South Korea’s toes. South Korea prefers dialogue and containment, but to the Americans, both have not worked enough to show American power and protection is reliable. The local context therefore doesn’t matter as much as the global one: the Americans worry that other states will start to shop around for new relationships if it cannot find a decent solution to North Korea.
Case in point is the behavior of Saudi Arabia. When President Obama retrenched and sought a more diplomatic relationship with Iran to preserve American power, the Saudis interpreted this as a sign that they had to stop free riding and start taking geopolitical risks if they were to survive. Their invasion of Yemen, their blockade of Qatar, and their saber rattling with Iran all make sense if you think about how Riyadh concluded they could no longer get the Americans to protect them.
This could play out in Asia not in South Korea but in Japan, a nation-state whose elites currently are so worried about North Korea they are running missile drills in schools. If America cannot halt North Korea’s nuclear advancements, it will be incentive for Japan to rearm even further, perhaps even go nuclear itself, and to find allies it can rely on better than a suddenly impotent United States. Would it be mad to suggest the Chinese might opportunistically swap North Korea for Japan in such a case, dumping the Kims’ basketcase economy for the world’s third largest?
It might ripple beyond that, as well. Once-stable relationships might wobble towards Russia, China, or Germany, especially as the years wear on. That would undo a critical pillar of American power, reducing it, on a long enough timeline, to a hemispheric one. America spent a great deal of blood and treasure becoming a global power; to lose that position is to unleash uncertainties no American elite is comfortable with.
Onward to credibility
For the Americans, solving the North Korean nuclear crisis involves restoring American credibility. Trump interprets that to have both a hard and a soft power solution, a 21st century version of gunboat diplomacy that he believes will, quite literally, make America great again. To avoid nuclear hellfire, such a solution will probably have some kind of military symbolism, either a near-miss war, the deployment of short-range nukes in South Korea itself near the DMZ, or even a surgical or cyber strike against some kind of North Korean target that wouldn’t trigger a general war.
That kind of move would restore America’s credibility and rattle China, if it succeeded. Otherwise, it would require yet more American escalation.
And herein lies yet another conundrum for China: to allow North Korea to break before America’s power is to prove China is not yet ready for the big leagues. Yet to threaten its relationship with its biggest export partner is not something it can yet do. Instead, it seems likely China will continue its peaceful rise by playing the good cop to America’s bad cop, letting the Americans take the anti-imperialist heat while slyly demonstrating their proposed global hegemony would be far less threatening. Allowing the Americans to take the risks, and the blowback, of solving the North Korean crisis is the most reasonable thing for China.
Either way, an endgame is fast approaching. A permanent state of crisis in Korea is unacceptable to both the U.S. and China. Sooner or later, a push must become a shove. | <urn:uuid:2d440e0f-d901-475c-a63d-1ae926224554> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://roguegeopolitics.com/2017/09/06/north-korea-america-china-and-the-credibility-gap/ | 2020-09-20T07:52:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.951188 | 1,831 |
Marine Electronics – June 2019
Teledyne Supports Nekton
Teledyne Marine worked with the Nekton Deep Ocean Exploration as an official subsea technology partner through value-in-kind contribution of equipment, technology and support for Nekton’s Seychelles expedition in March. The expedition was a major global scientific collaboration that aims to create a step-change in knowledge of the Indian Ocean and catalyze its sustainable governance.
The Seychelles covers an exclusive economic zone of 1.4 million sq. km.
The expedition was carried out in specific areas within the plateaus of designated outer islands with depths of up to 500 m.
Teledyne Marine provided: Teledyne RESON T50-P SeaBat multibeam echosounder; Teledyne RD Instruments ADCP Workhorse; two Teledyne software packages during and after the expedition; Teledyne PDS acquisition software and Teledyne CARIS HIPS and SIPS for post-processing of the hydrographic data; Teledyne Bowtech HD cameras and LED lights mounted on the manned submersibles and ROVs; and Teledyne SeaBotix ROV LBV300-5 Mini fitted with Teledyne BlueView high-resolution forward-looking sonar systems M900-2250.
Kongsberg Application Enables
BV’s First DP Digital Survey
Kongsberg Maritime, Bureau Veritas (BV) and BOURBON have announced the successful testing of a new solution for DP (dynamic positioning) system performance and redundancy audits—a first in the maritime industry.
Developed by Kongsberg Maritime in collaboration with BOURBON and BV’s DP experts, the DP Digital Survey application runs on an industrial data management system that ensures unprecedented data consistency for the verification of installed systems. It acquires information directly from the DP system and delivers it to auditors via a secure cloud infrastructure, allowing compulsory surveys to be conducted remotely.
The DP Digital Survey application offers a distinct advantage for vessel owners utilizing the remote survey tool to collect a comprehensive quantity of test execution and completion evidence.
MBES Hydrographic System
For Island of Corsica
MacArtney France has delivered a portable multibeam echosounder (MBES) hydrographic system, designed for small vessels, to the French government organization Collectivité de Corse, in Corsica, France.
The Collectivité de Corse represents the interests of the community of Corsica, a Mediterranean island off the south coast of France. Large parts of the island are designated as the Parc Naturel Régional de Corse, not only to protect the natural landscape but the local population and cultural heritage of the region, too.
With 1,000 km of coastline, the island attracts many tourists and cruise ships, creating the need for an MBES hydrographic system small and versatile enough to be portable by road across the island to Corsica’s many harbors.
The purpose of the MBES hydrographic system is to ensure visiting vessels can securely navigate the harbors of the island, monitor the seabed to control the quality of dredging, identify obstructions on the seafloor, and verify underwater installations.
MacArtney France worked with partners Kongsberg, Valeport and SBG Systems on this project.
The scope of supply included: Kongsberg Mesotech M3 sonar; Subsea SBG NavSight inertial navigation system; Valeport miniSVS; 4G modem for receiving RTK corrections; HYPACK software for acquisition and processing; pole for deployment; and on-site installation and training.
New Gyros as Pilot Aid for Largest Construction Vessel
Silicon Sensing Systems Ltd.’s latest inertial measurement technology has been used in AD Navigation AS’s new pilot’s aid, the ADX XR, to successfully guide the Pioneering Spirit, the world’s largest construction vessel, into Maasvlakte in the Port of Rotterdam.
In the trials, precise movement data from Silicon Sensing’s CRH02 all-silicon gyros allowed the ADX XR to deliver a highly accurate and detailed 3- to 5-min. ship course prediction to the pilot.
CRH02 is a compact, low-noise, single-axis gyroscope that performs similar to a fiber-optic gyro, but is more rugged, with a lower size and weight.
Following this successful performance, AD Navigation has placed a production order for CRH02 gyros with Silicon Sensing.
Sonardyne’s SPRINT-Nav 700
For NOC’s Under-ice AUV
The U.K. National Oceanography Centre (NOC) has selected high-performance hybrid navigation technology from Sonardyne International Ltd. for the next generation of its Autosub AUV, targeted for under-ice operations.
The NOC, based in Southampton, will incorporate Sonardyne’s highest performing SPRINT-Nav inertial navigation system (INS) into the new 2,000-m depth-rated Autosub, which is being specifically developed for carrying high-performance sensors on the most demanding research missions under polar ice, hence its name Autosub2KUI (A2KUI).
SPRINT-Nav combines Sonardyne’s SPRINT INS sensor, Syrinx 600-kHz DVL and a high-accuracy intelligent pressure sensor into a single housing, making it one of the smallest combined inertial navigation instruments on the market.
The SPRINT-Nav 700, selected by the NOC, is equipped with the highest-performance available sensors, including Honeywell ring laser gyros and accelerometers, and has a conservative quoted accuracy of 0.04 percent 2dRMS. | <urn:uuid:2cd4ee13-ff44-4601-adfd-ab3b0068ff4a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://sea-technology.com/marine-electronics | 2020-09-20T08:11:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.862184 | 1,223 |
22nd Sept – 3rd Oct: New Ballast Pump & Power system
New Ballast Pump: At the Southampton Boat Show I had told Matt that the worst thing about Seatern was the Whale Gulper 220 ballast pump and after a discussion of alternatives and a bit of probing by me on various the boat show stands, he offered to buy me a Johnson Ballast Pump. These are sometimes referred to as “Wakeboard pumps” because boats used for wakeboarding have ballast tanks which are filled or emptied in order to shape the wake formed by the boat. The pumps used for this purpose are reversible so instead of using the forward facing self bailer to fill the tanks, the water can be pumped into them.
The pump arrived within a couple of days but it took me a few days to work out how and then to fit the pump in place of the Whale by connecting the 1″ pipes required into the existing 1.5″ pipework. The top photo shows the pump installed in the cockpit locker in place of the Whale. A reducer connects into the pipe going to the aft ballast tank. The Whale pump outlet in the side of the hull is blocked off using a plumbing fitting and the outlet/inlet pipe is routed along the top outboard edge of the locker under the seat panel.
For the new Inlet/outlet I decided to use the through-hull fitting occupied by the NASA log paddle-wheel sensor. The latter has never worked properly because, sited in the starboard cockpit drain well beside the outboard well, I think it is in the wrong location on the hull. I got a 1″ through hull fitting and cut it down so I could attach it through the blanking cap provided by NASA for their fitting (see photo).
The ballast pump is not supposed to be run dry but I need it to empty the tanks as much as possible. I therefore used a pipe elbow and a Whale “Strum Box” to place the water inlet/outlet in the aft tank as low down and as near as possible to the lowest point. The elbow was just jammed into the existing 1.5″ outlet using a good amount of Fernox LS-X leak sealer!
The direction of pumping is controlled by the polarity of the 12V supply. I therefore fitted a 12V DPDT switch in the cockpit. This needed a 20A rating so I chose a Blue Sea Systems Contura III 8286 from RJS Marine. Although the switch is ignition-protected, I situated it so the connections were in the electronics alcove in the cabin, rather than have it in the locker together with the petrol tank (the pump is also ignition-protected by the way!).
In tests the pump took about 6 minutes to fill the aft tank to hatch level plus another two minutes top up once the water had flowed through to the forward tank, consuming about 1.5 Ah. Emptying took about 11.5 minutes spread over 26 minutes (due to the time it takes for water to flow from the forward tank). Consumption was 1.8 Ah (compared to an estimated 5 Ah and 45 minutes pumping for the Whale). More details are can be accessed via the Equipment Summary web page.
Power System During this period I also made changes to the electrical power system aimed at saving battery weight while allowing Seatern to be independent from shore power for periods of a few days or so. Since this is work in progress please contact me if you want more information. | <urn:uuid:dbd5df86-749b-4823-8a7e-f037c6ebadc7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://seatern.uk/2014/09/22nd-sept-3rd-oct-new-ballast-pump-power-system/ | 2020-09-20T07:39:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.960707 | 720 |
As I go through my mom’s possessions following her death in July, I continue to find some hidden gems. A few weeks ago I shared a letter she had written about my brothers and me. Recently, behind a photograph I was in the process of hanging up, I found another letter securely taped. The photo was of my mom and dad having dinner in New York City the day he arrived back home when WWII ended. He had been on the beaches of Normandy, in the Battle of the Bulge, and other places of bravery and horror.
When my mom wrote the following letter, she was 20 years old, he 23, and my parents had been married around 6 months. I know she would not mind me sharing excerpts from this letter as I believe her words have much to offer. Remember, when she wrote this letter, she did not know whether she would see my dad again because of the war. Here are the excerpts…
Dearest Peter. This is not a goodby note. This is an I love you note. In it, I want to tell you something I learned today. Love is as sacred as two people make it. It is beautiful only as they allow it to be beautiful. It is as God-like as they wish it. The word love is often misused and hence the world in general gets a very rough and uncouth idea of what it is.
Love is the unselfish gift of one person’s self to another. Unselfish is the important part of love. Only unselfish love can be complete and permanent. Neither you nor I yet has completely unselfish love for each other. Do not be shocked for I don’t believe that we will attain it on this earth or even until we reach the culmination – the merging of our souls with God. But in our desire and striving for it we lift ourselves above ordinary love.
Through my mother’s words of so long ago, I am reminded of what one person in our own era says. “Hate is not the opposite of love, selfishness is.” Indeed, selflessness is at the heart of what love is all about, something Jesus clearly understood and lived by.
My mom’s words are not only invaluable for loving couples to ponder and act upon, but they are words useful to all of us whether in a relationship or not. To be selfless is to follow the footsteps of Jesus and to be selfless is how to relate to those we encounter day by day. | <urn:uuid:0129ef94-db34-4b4b-ad53-7263791c1c14> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://snowmasschapel.org/uncategorized/a-love-letter/ | 2020-09-20T08:15:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.980237 | 517 |

Times have been hard for the leather industry in Pakistan over the past several years now. The recently released leather export numbers by the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) show a mixed picture with some segments showing growth while others continue to struggle.
According to PBS data, leather gloves and leather footwear registered growth of 15 and 17 percent respectively and have been enjoying good demand in international markets especially when it comes to gloves. However, leather garments which account for the bulk of leather exports remained stagnant and posted negligible growth.
Growth has mostly been volume based whereas prices have seen a downward trend. This could be explained by the depreciation of the rupee whereas the rebates awarded under the government incentive package might also have played a part in boosting quantities.
Leather garment manufacturing declined by 16.8 percent in FY17 as compared to decreasing by 6.5 percent in FY16. Leather gloves dived by a whopping 28.6 percent in FY16 while declining by 5.1 percent in the previous year.
Multiple factors are behind the leather sector’s dreary performance. Industry stakeholders have decried the lack of government support for the sector. The electricity and gas tariffs has been an especially painful subject with leather manufacturers pointing to at least 30 percent higher tariffs when compared to regional competitors Bangladesh, Vietnam and India.
Another important issue has been the incessant smuggling of live animals to neighbouring Afghanistan which puts pressure on supply of hides and skins to leather manufacturers.
Last year large quantities of hides and skins were damaged due to inadequate preservation mechanisms, increasing reliance on imported raw material. Note that the Eid season accounts for around 40 percent of the total raw material accumulated from local sources.
Then there is the fact that balancing, modernization and replacement (BMR) have not been undertaken by most local players citing the imposition of 4 percent custom duty as well as 17 percent sales tax on import of machinery.
This ties in with the fact that only three leather manufacturers in Pakistan are members of the international Leather Working Group (LWG) while India and China have 88 and 76 respectively. Brands and retailers are increasingly sourcing orders from only those manufacturers which follow guide-lines of the LWG.
The fall in leather prices internationally over the last three to four years has also forced leather exporters to realise large losses on their inventory stockpiles which has hampered any fresh investment or expansion. It also goes without saying that declining profitability has led banks to avoid further lending to leather manufacturers which has further constrained liquidity.
Even incentives provided to the leather industry such as the DLTL scheme are facing delayed processing. No exporter has received any DLTL claim for FY18 while before these claims were being processed on a monthly basis.
To sum it up. If the next government would like to see the leather sector turn a page, the cost of doing business needs to be brought done, incentives need to be provided on more than paper while technology investment needs to be undertaken by the private sector if they wish to remain relevant in the global leather marketplace.

ASWNMU is hosting their annual elections for student government positions and two students have placed their name on the ballot for the student body vice-president position.
Diego Luna De Leon is from Douglas, AZ. He will be a Senior in the fall semester and is seeking an Accounting degree.
Aja Corina Sanchez is from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sanchez is a Sophomore, double majoring in Nursing and Psychology.
The Mustang Newspaper interviewed the two candidates to get to know them better and learn how their leadership will positively affect the school.
Q: What led you to become interested in becoming a member of ASWNMU?
Luna: What interested me in becoming a member of ASWNMU was becoming part of the executive board to take up the responsibility and to challenge me to be a leader. This will help me by giving me hands-on experience and instilling great leadership skills. I also want to make a change in how WNMU students view and think about ASWNMU.
Sanchez: I knew that joining ASWNMU would give me a platform to do what I love, which is helping students. Before participating, the number of students I was able to help was small. Still, once I became a senator, I had so many more resources available to me to make a more significant impact.
Q: What is a problem that you have seen on campus that you want to fix?
Luna: A problem that I have seen on campus that made me apply for this position was the mentality students have about ASWNMU. How they do not think that the student government does not hear them. I know this is not the case, but this is how students feel. I want to fix this mentality and feel by changing their point of view on student government. I want to approach as many students and explain how ASWNMU works and explain to them how it is not as simple as they think to change a policy or any action that benefits them personally. I want students to understand how ASWNMU works and what it takes to make a change. This is what the problem is and how I see it. If students understand what it takes and how the process goes to make a change and impact their lives as a student, they will understand and change their view and how they think about ASWNMU.
Sanchez: I believe there is a lack of collaboration between clubs and organizations on campus. Many different groups at WNMU are working towards incredible goals and events for students; however, it often feels as if they are working against each other. If we were able to communicate and work together, it would benefit everyone on campus.
Q: How do you plan on getting students involved with your initiatives?
Luna: I will get students involved in my initiatives by being more visible and more transparent. The problem could be simple: maybe students do not know about all our school has to offer. As a college student, we want our info quick, concise, and easily digestible. I will keep my messages short, and you can bet students are more likely to remember it later. I will also promote my events and happenings on social media and create content that students want to share, retweet, like, and comment on. This will bring even more awareness to my initiatives over time.
Sanchez: The only way of understanding how to get the students involved is by asking them. I would love to be able to communicate with the students to see what they want to experience at WNMU and what days and times work best for them.
Q: How could you improve the power of student voices on campus?
Luna: I believe that in some cases, the voices of the powerful often silence those of the less powerful. I want to eradicate that on campus. As a vice president, I want to create a right and safe environment on campus for students. I want them to feel safe and make them understand that we are elected to help them and make a change for them as a real democracy. I want to encourage students to embrace diversity and work toward justice with clarity and courage on their terms and as a community. I want to create spaces within which students and ASWNMU members speak, listen, and learn in new, more democratic ways.
Sanchez: In the past, student government has stated that they are open to hearing the students’ needs and concerns; however, I believe instead of making the students come to us, we should make more of an effort to go to them. It is sporadic that you see an ASWNMU member at student events. This bothers me greatly because not only is it our job to support the students, but this is also where we would be able to interact the most with large amounts of the student body.
Q: What does student partnership mean to you?
Luna: To me, student partnership means the practice of students having a joint say with their educational institution on the quality of the education provided. A partnership is about respecting and valuing the strengths of each collaborating party, agreeing upon mutual priorities, communicating effectively, and working together to reach a common goal. As the Vice-President of ASWNMU, I will challenge myself to accomplish everything that I stated above.
Sanchez: Student partnership means everything to me because without the students, there would be no Western New Mexico University. It is crucial the students understand that they have the power, and any changes they want to see should never feel impossible.
ASWNMU elections will take place April 20 -24 and voting will be available through Canvas.

Word came down yesterday that the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of the University of South Carolina in its dispute with the University of Southern California over the use of the interlocking ‘SC’ logo.
Now I’m man enough to admit that this smarts a little. It makes me want to point out that our USC was founded in 1801, and their USC only came along some 79 years later. I could also add that the other USC wasn’t always known as the Trojans, instead being called the Fighting Methodists until they got crushed in a track meet in 1912. After their track and field debacle, a local reporter compared them to other losers from history, and settled on the wife-stealing and horse-loving men of Troy. This is a true story.
I could mention those things, but I think I’ll show some restraint and civility by pointing out a few areas where SC (the horse-lovers, not us) have excelled:
- Works in metallurgy: Until recently, none of us knew that the prize bronze trophy of the Downtown Athletic Club could spontaneously vaporize.
– Works of Rarity: A home loss to the Washington Huskies: an unknown commodity in even the finesse (read ‘feminine’) conference called the PAC 10.
– Works of Cutlery: Orenthal James Simpson. Nuff Said.
– Excellence in Head Coach Douchery: see Carroll, Pete and Kiffikins, Lame supra
– Works of Protection [insert your own male prophylactic brand reference here]
– Works of Encouragement: the Virginia Cavaliers (fiiii - nesse!) now believe they are a good football team.
Oh, and SCOREBOARD. We can keep calling scoreboard until we meet on the gridiron again. Granted the last time was 1983, but the score was 38-14 Gamecocks.
Maybe we could meet up in a bowl game in the next couple of years? | <urn:uuid:f000b7f1-0391-466c-b4ef-18bcede71a89> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://therubberchickensblog.com/2010/10/05/keep-your-stinkin-logo/ | 2020-09-20T07:44:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.9582 | 419 |

Learn from these ten secrets to career success and how to excel at work.
Be your own critic
When you’re new to a job, start by setting short-term goals, and come up with a comprehensive plan on how to achieve these goals. Break the tasks down into weekly or even daily tasks. At the end of the week, assess where you’re headed and if your strategy is working.
You may want to show your own performance report to your managers at some point for them to see how you’ve progressed. By doing this, you are letting your managers know that you value the importance of constant self-appraisal and improvement.
Be ready to learn
It might take you days to get accustomed to your duties at your new post, so show the management that you are willing to be coached, and that you pay attention and are always ready to learn new things.
Set goals to achieve
Therefore, always remember that you’re being paid to deliver on clearly defined goals that have a significant positive impact on the company’s performance and overall mission and vision. Having this kind of goal-oriented mindset will help you achieve success in your career, no matter where you are on the corporate ladder.
Show, don’t tell
If your boss sees that you are trustworthy, they’ll be at ease with giving you responsibilities. Make sure to meet your deadlines and keep your words. Gaining your boss’ trust is crucial, especially early on in your relationship, so do your best to fulfill every commitment you make, no matter how difficult it may seem.
Being an exceptional employee entails being compassionate and understanding towards your manager and fellow employees, and believing that they all are doing their best. An outburst of temper is not going to do anyone any good, and neither will constantly complaining about your workload. At the end of the day, all of you are doing your fair share of work that you’re getting paid for.
In many ways, achieving career success is less about what you are doing, and more about how you are doing it. The tips above are easy to apply no matter what field or industry you belong to. Keeping these ten career success secrets in mind will help you excel in your career, regardless of your career path, and no matter where you are on the corporate ladder.

Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder – Thoreau
There is an offshoot to exercise – that wonderful thing called endorphins. Theory is, they will kick in after you complete the task at hand. The last couple of races, those endorphins have had some difficulty showing up at the right time.
That being said, a few days out, after a few long soaks in the tub, a massage and time to reflect, I’m pretty darn happy. Perhaps because I didn’t chase it, but I turned my attention to THE FINISH. | <urn:uuid:a028fc8d-8ac1-45c0-a310-88cc63cd4767> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://writinginthemoment.com/2012/10/17/happiness-is-like-a-butterfly/ | 2020-09-20T06:39:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961661 | 152 |

Dublin and Kerry meet this weekend in what could be an All-Ireland final for the ages.
It sees a history seeking Dublin team aiming to win a fifth consecutive All-Ireland title while Kerry's young guns look to inflict the pain on Dublin which Offaly did to the Kingdom in 1982.
Attack and defence
The Dublin defence is amid its stingiest championship of the decade. On average this summer, Dublin have conceded just 12.1 points per game. That is a sharp decrease from last year's number of 15.4 points per match.
In contrast, a Kerry defence has never conceded more points per match this decade than this year. 17.2 points allowed is a 2.6 point increase from last year. Though that was one in which the Kingdom did not advance beyond the Super 8 stage.
In attack, Dublin are averaging 27 points, 4.8 more than Kerry. It is, in terms of average points score per match, Dublin's second more prolific of the decade. Just last year, with 27.5, have the Dubs managed more. Should this year's number rise above 27.5, it will mark the third consecutive year in which Dublin have increased their scoring average.
Only twice (2011 and 2016) this decade have Kerry scored more points per match than Dublin.
This summer, 72 per cent of Dublin's scores have come from play. Kerry are slightly lower with 69 per cent. Despite taking 50 fewer shots - 233 vs 183 - Dublin's shot efficiency (67 per cent) is two per cent better than Kerry's.
Though, when it comes to placed balls, Kerry have been more accurate with 86 per cent of kicks scored compared to Dublin's 81 per cent.
If Kerry are to win on Sunday, they need to take care of the ball as Mayo did in the first half of their semi-final against Dublin.
The good news for the Kingdom: they match-up well to Dublin in retaining possession. Both have averaged 50 per cent of the ball in the championship while both also have 90 per cent foot pass success.
80 per cent of Dublin's attacks have resulted in shots and 53 per cent in scores. Kerry's numbers are similar with 76 per cent and 50 per cent respectively.
Dublin's ability to pilfer opposition kickouts is better than Kerry's. The Dubs have nabbed 30 per cent, while Kerry's is considerably lower at 22 per cent.
One area in which Kerry's numbers are far higher than Dublin's is an unwanted one: discipline. Kerry have accumulated three red cards compared to Dublin's one, 16 yellow cards compared to Dublin's seven and seven black cards compared to Dublin's three.
David Clifford vs Paul Mannion
Some of Gaelic football's most exciting forwards will be involved this Sunday. Two of them will wear the number 13 jersey: Paul Mannion and David Clifford.
Remarkably, in 27 fewer championship games than the 26-year-old Mannion, the 20-year-old Clifford has scored only 2-19 less.
Mannion has made 37 championship appearances since his debut in 2013, racking up 6-59. That's an average of 2.1 points per game.
Clifford made his senior debut last year. In 10 championship appearances, he has scored 4-40, an average of 5.2 points per match.
Both have scored 0-22 this season. All of Mannion's scores have come from play, while six of Clifford's have been from placed balls.
In terms of shot efficiency, Mannion has been more accurate in 2019, scoring with 73 per cent of his shots. Clifford has knocked over 63 per cent of his.
Both players favour their left foot, though Mannion (83 per cent) more so than Clifford (66 per cent).
Kickouts: Stephen Cluxton vs Shane Ryan
There is a chasm in experience when it comes to the men between the posts for Dublin and Kerry.
Stephen Cluxton is the master - the all-time record championship appearance holder and six-time All-Ireland winner.
Shane Ryan is the rookie, he made his championship debut this season.
Clubmate and Kerry teammate Paul Murphy told Balls earlier this year that Ryan is a "reluctant goalie". The Rathmore man, a minor All-Ireland winner in 2014, never played in goals for the club. He was converted to a keeper when he joined Kerry's underage development squads.
Cluxton is the launching point for Dublin attacks, the man who creates a stable platform from which Jim Gavin's side land blows.
"When you get into these pressure cooker environments midway through the second half - full house - Stephen is the best in the business at that and he does it so calmly and so effectively," 2011 Dublin All-Ireland winner Barry Cahill told Balls this week.
The guys out the pitch know that as well, the middle eight in particular. They're all well tuned in, whether it's making dummy runs or selfless runs away from the ball to create space. Stephen with his pinpoint kicking just nearly lands it on their chest.
This season, 83 per cent of Cluxton's kickouts have been won by Dublin players. Brian Fenton (15) has been his top target, followed by James McCarthy and Davy Byrne (both 12).
Kerry have won 76 per cent of Ryan's kickouts with Paul Murphy and Gavin Crowley (both 14) being his main targets. Tadhg Morley has been targeted 10 times.
Remarkably, not one kickout which Cluxton has landed within his own 45 has been lost. In contrast, Kerry have lost eight kicks which Ryan kicked to the same area.
In terms of kickout selection, Cluxton has gone short (inside the 45) with 46 per cent of his kicks while Ryan is higher with 55 per cent.
The right-hand side of the pitch - and in particular close to the sideline - is Cluxton's favoured area with 65 of the kickouts won aimed there. | <urn:uuid:8a91df38-cc08-4ca5-bedf-41cb39d3d919> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.balls.ie/gaa/all-ireland-stats-416481 | 2020-09-20T07:42:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969409 | 1,244 |
- Shamima Begum, a 19-year-old British woman who fled London to join ISIS in Syria four years ago told The Times of London that she wants to go home.
- She described living in a boarding house for women in Raqqa while waiting to be married, and described life under ISIS as “normal.”
- Begum escaped the town of Baghouz, considered the last bastion of ISIS power in the region, two weeks ago and is now living in a refugee camp in Syria.
- Britain’s security minister said that anyone in Begum’s position would have to find their own way out, and have to face investigation and potential prosecution if they returned to the UK.
A British student who fled her London home to join ISIS in Syria four years ago is now asking to return home, even as the UK said it would not send troops to rescue her.
Shamima Begum, now 19 and nine months pregnant, fled the eastern Syrian town of Baghouz two weeks ago in the hopes of protecting her unborn child, she told The Times of London’s Anthony Loyd.
Begum is now living in the al-Hawl Syrian refugee camp, in northeast Syria, which holds some 39,000 other people.
Baghouz is the last bastion of ISIS’s territorial power in Syria and Iraq. More and more people are now escaping the area as Kurdish fighters, backed by the US and UK, closed in on the region with weeks of intensive bombing.
Begum told The Times that she walked out of Baghouz two weeks ago, at dawn, where her husband – a 27-year-old Dutch convert to Islam – surrendered to Syrian fighters. That was the last time she saw him, she said.
Her journey from schoolgirl to ISIS wife
Begum fled her home in Bethnal Green, east London, at age 15 alongside two schoolmates in February 2015. They told their parents they were going out for the day, then took a plane from London Gatwick Airport to Turkey, before crossing the border to Syria, the BBC reported.
After arriving in Raqqa, Syria, she stayed at a “house for women” to wait to be married, The Times reported.
“I applied to marry an English-speaking fighter between 20 and 25 years old,” Begum told the newspaper. Ten days later she married Yago Riedijk, the Dutchman.
Her schoolmates, 15-year-old Amira Abase and 16-year-old Kadiza Sultana, were married to Australian and American men respectively, The Times reported. Sultana reportedly died in an airstrike in Raqqa in 2016, while Abase’s whereabouts remain unknown.
Begum had two children with Riedijk – a boy and a girl – but they both died of illness within two months of each other late last year. Both were under two years old.
She told The Times it was her grief at her children’s deaths, and urge to protect her unborn child, that spurred her to escape Baghuz despite her husband’s wishes to stay.
Begum told the newspaper: “I’m not the same silly little 15-year-old schoolgirl who ran away from Bethnal Green four years ago. And I don’t regret coming here.”
“When I saw my first severed head … it didn’t faze me at all”
Begum said she lived a “normal life in Raqqa” peppered with various atrocities of the war on ISIS.
“Mostly it was a normal life in Raqqa, every now and then bombing and stuff,” she told The Times.
“When I saw my first severed head in a bin it didn’t faze me at all. It was from a captured fighter seized on the battlefield, an enemy of Islam,” she said, using a term that ISIS converts referred to people fighting the group.
“I thought only of what he would have done to a Muslim woman if he had the chance,” Begum said.
Listen to an extract of The Times’ interview with Begum here:
What happens if she makes it home
Ben Wallace, the UK’s security minister, declined to comment on Begum’s individual case but said on Thursday that anyone in her position could be questioned, investigated and prosecuted for terrorist offenses if she returned home.
He also made clear that the government would not send troops into the region to rescue her. “I’m not putting at risk British people’s lives to go and look for terrorists or former terrorists in a failed state,” Wallace told the BBC’s “Today” radio program on Thursday.
He added that because the UK doesn’t have a consulate in Syria, anyone in Begum’s position would have to find help elsewhere in the region.
“We recognise that there are children involved in this who had no choice of being out there – they were born out there or whatever – but ultimately what we have to do is protect the public,” Wallace told the “Today” program.
“People who went out there as amateurs are now professional terrorists or professional supporters of terrorism and we have to make sure we mitigate that threat should they come back.”

The death toll in Canada’s opioid crisis has surpassed that of the country’s AIDS epidemic at its peak, according to the Canadian Minister of Health.
Minister Jane Philpott made the claim while speaking at the recent International Harm Reduction Conference about the impacts of fentanyl and other opioids in the country.
"We know that at minimum in Canada, there were 2,300 Canadians that died last year of an opioid overdose," said Philpott.
"The death toll is worse than any other infectious epidemic in Canada, including the peak of AIDS deaths, since the Spanish flu that took the lives of 50,000 people a century ago."
At its peak in the early-to-mid 1990s, Canada’s AIDS epidemic is said to have claimed the lives of around 1,400 people.
Philpott criticized the previous government’s handling of the opioid crisis, pointing to the fact that 343 people died in Alberta from fentanyl overdoses, 931 died in British Columbia due to drug overdoses, and many others died across Canada from similar causes last year. It’s estimated that roughly two people due to opioid overdose in Ontario every day.
"I will be the first to acknowledge that our country ignored innovators in our domestic context,” said Philpott. “We shut out some of the most important voices in this discussion.” | <urn:uuid:ebbb9a3c-b5b1-46c2-8854-a9feb50c7ac5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.civilized.life/articles/canada-opioid-aids-epidemic/ | 2020-09-20T07:49:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976916 | 283 |
We are a community of people who profess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
In our unity there is diversity. Some of us grew up going to church; others of us did not. Some of us have lived in the area for decades; others of us have just arrived. We work in hospitals and in schools, at construction sites and in recycling facilities, at our homes in the western suburbs and in our offices downtown. We go to school and enjoy our retirements; we vote Republican and Democratic; we cheer for the Sox and for the Cubs – we are in many ways quite different from each other. We are united, though, in our desire to be people who through our actions, words, and thoughts give evidence to God’s grace in our lives.
We were established as a congregation in Western Springs in 1938. Our church is a member of a larger group of churches in North America called The Christian Reformed Church. This is a denomination in the Reformed tradition comprised of approximately 1000 churches across the United States and Canada. For more information on the Christian Reformed Church, please follow this link (www.crcna.org) to our denominational web-site.

Knowing God. Knowing Ourselves. Through Christ.
Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.

What a Falcons Fan Can Learn from Tom Brady
This was going to be the year that the Atlanta Falcons were supposed to win it all, and what could be better than proving themselves on the biggest stage against the vaulted New England Patriots football club, the juggernaut of the NFL for the last decade and a half. Long suffering Falcons fans, having never witnessed a championship, were to finally be rewarded for their team allegiance with a season to remember, capped off with an epic Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl 51. Matt Ryan, in his ninth season, all with the Falcons, looked more focused than ever, no stage too big or intimidating for this quarterback coming into his prime. In other words the stage was set!
The Falcons came out of the gate on a mission and went into the half with a substantial lead of 21-3. With the Falcons an underdog of -3 points according to the experts in Las Vegas, the sports watching world (which for the Super Bowl is everyone in America and their cat) was shocked! Falcons fans, having known the true nature of this special unit were gloating and boasting that the world was finally coming around to what they had known all season long, this team was legit and the most dangerous team in the NFL. With a little over eight minutes to go in the third quarter the Falcons added to their lead and scored another touchdown, increasing their dominant lead to 28-3. The ESPN statistical analysis had the Falcons' odds of winning the game at an amazing 99%! A quarter and a half would still have to be played, but at this point time was just standing in the way of the inevitable, long awaited Falcons victory.
If only that was the way the story played out in real time! History will record Tom Brady's Patriots as achieving the greatest come back in Super Bowl history, defeating my beloved Falcons 34-28 in the first ever Super Bowl game to go into overtime (insert sad face emoji). It was truly a game of two halves, with the Falcons taking the first half with their explosive offense and energetic young defense, and the Patriots taking over the game in the second half with a defensive unit that found its footing and an offense headed by sure-fire first round Hall of Famer Tom Brady. Viewers could see the look in Brady's eyes as the Patriots scored and then scored again. He was cool and confident and would bring his team back, against all odds, with the sheer force of his giant-sized will. This was Brady being Brady - finding a way to pull off the impossible and make it look easy all the while.
An article on fivethirtyeight.com about this incredible game was titled (to the dismay of Falcons fans) "The Patriots And Falcons Became Who We Thought They Were." The Falcons could not break through their Super Bowl glass ceiling and Tom Brady found yet another way to take the Lombardi tro
phy home. As hard as it may be for a Falcons fan still in the midst of athletic shiva, I must admit that what Tom Brady accomplished was a sight to behold and laden with lessons for anyone who aspires to similar degrees of greatness in any arena of life. With all that Brady had accomplished until now, four championships, three Super Bowl MVP trophies, two season MVP awards, twelve Pro Bowl selections and all the money you would need for ten lifetimes (including inflation!), you couldn't fault the man if his passion or desire for the game and its ultimate prize were to slowly wane. And yet, here he was again, face filled with focus, desire and will, and even the casual viewer at home on his Lazy-Boy knew that a miracle was just around the corner.
An ancient phrase, coined by an unknown wise man, says it all: "nothing stands in the way of desire." With desire the impossible comes into our reach. It would seem then that if we desire a life of success and accomplishments, it is our desire-meter that we should be most concerned with tending and monitoring. As long as our desire is strong success will surely follow.
Have trouble waking up early in the morning? Finding your bed more appealing than an early drive to shul or an early morning workout? A powerful book I recently read on a plane to New york called The Miracle Morning suggests you examine if you have sufficiently honed in on your life goals and aspirations. Once clarified, our goals and the hope of accomplishing those goals wake us out of our slumber and into a day of goal oriented focus and toil. Clearly defined, measurable goals are the breeding ground of desire and desire the breeding ground of success. Tom Brady taught us something in 2017, lets hope the Falcons learn from this loss, increase their focus and desire and teach Tom Brady a thing or two in 2018! | <urn:uuid:86072a81-b35f-4a4f-bbe1-3024802cb987> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.dataofplano.org/post/2017/02/10/what-a-falcons-fan-can-learn-from-tom-brady | 2020-09-20T08:53:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.979131 | 971 |

If you’ve ever asked if mashed potatoes can be cooked ahead, the answer is this recipe. The texture is like that of a twice-baked potato.
- Serves 8
- 12 medium Yukon Gold potatoes (3½–4 pounds)
- Kosher salt
- 5 large egg yolks
- 2 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon pink or black peppercorns, finely ground
- Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in water to cover by 2"; season with salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and simmer until a paring knife very easily slides through potatoes, 25–35 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk egg yolks, garlic, cream, sour cream, butter, and peppercorns in a large bowl; season generously with salt. Peel potatoes and pass flesh through a ricer or a food mill (or mash them by hand if you don’t mind a few lumps) directly into bowl with egg mixture. Fold in gently (be careful not to overmix). Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish and decoratively shingle or swirl surface. Bake, rotating once, until golden brown and slightly puffed, 30–40 minutes.
- Do Ahead
- Dish can be assembled 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Increase bake time by 5–10 minutes. | <urn:uuid:1463675a-7bd6-482e-bba7-e13cb49181bb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/duchess-baked-potatoes | 2020-09-20T08:29:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.891658 | 328 |
Jannik Lawaetz is the Founder and CEO of LuggageHero, a young Danish startup with the goal to make travel more convenient by giving travelers a space to leave their luggage while exploring their destination. Founded in 2016 and present in 30+ locations, LuggageHero has already accumulated more than 1,500,000 hours of stored luggage with no filed claims of damage or loss.
Last week I met Jannik in Copenhagen on the backstage of Tomorrow’s Urban Travel – we made time for a cup of coffee to talk about his entrepreneurial journey with LuggageHero. During our conversation Jannik talked about his transition from an established full-time job in 2016 to be the CEO of a fast growing startup. He shared his thoughts about how the Danish startup ecosystem impacted his business and about their plans for the future. Here is the interview:
For someone who never heard about it – what is LuggageHero?
What we do is that we store luggage in local shops with schedule opening hours – it could be a bike rental shop, a hotel, a cafe, a restaurant… anything! We store the luggage on an hourly basis, which is quite unique because there are not so many places where you can find a service where you only pay for the hours you use. This is pretty unique for us and it is something of a service we want to deliver to our customers.
How did you came up with the business idea for launching your startup?
The idea came from a personal experience I had during a short holiday trip to Barcelona. On the last day of our trip I experienced the pain of actually standing outside my Airbnb apartment at 9am in the morning with 2 pieces of suitcases and I just had no idea where to go! Our flight wasn’t until late afternoon, so I was stuck with it. Then I saw a local shop on a street corner and managed to convince this Spanish guy (with my not-amazing Spanish skills) to actually store our bags during the day. This experience turned out to be my first encounter with a solution to a problem many people face during their holidays, so I went home thinking that it could actually be a good idea.
Is there a recent milestone you are particularly proud of?
Today we are on more than 1000 locations spread out in 30 cities in Europe and the US. We recently achieved the milestone of accumulating more than 1.5 million hours of storage, which is something we are very proud and happy about.
How is LuggageHero funded?
The company was firstly bootstrapped – which was pretty hard. I remember pitching it to my girlfriend on a late evening back in 2016 and thinking: “Oh, I will turn this idea into an app and everything will go as planned.” – I was very naive. I had an established full-time job at the time but once I dived into the idea of LuggageHero I found that I had to step down from my job and dedicated myself fully to this full-time without any payment for 6 months. So I bootstrapped it entirely from the beginning until our expansion to London, where we then got some traction and the inbound investors came to us. In 2017 we got 2 really good business angels to invest in us and in the beginning of this year we were funded by NordicEye, a big VC firm from the Nordics.
You also raised funds through an equity crowdfunding campaign. How was this experience?
It was an extraordinary experience to offer previous customers and partners to actually invest and get equity in LuggageHero. It was a huge success! We actually achieved funding within 24 hours from opening it up in Seedrs.
And are you planning to raise new funds in the near future?
LuggageHero is doing really well. We are heavily expanding and things are going as planned. We are burning money, but in a controlled manner. The plan is to raise additional funds early next year.
Are there books and podcasts that have inspired you in some way and that you would recommend to other entrepreneurs?
Gary Vaynerchuk is someone I really look up to – his thinking really inspires me! At the moment I am listening to one of his audiobooks called “Crush it”, which is really good and inspiring.
What would you say to people who have a great idea, want to startup but don’t know where to start?
I would say: “Stop talking and start doing something”. I hear a lot of excuses from wantrepreneur – sometimes is because they are having kids, they are getting married, they are moving, but they always have an excuse, a reason why they are not starting their own business and stay in jobs they don’t like. So what I would say is for them to cut the bullshit, to go out and do it, to take that step.
Another point for entrepreneurs who are just starting is to make sure to document everything – that’s the most important thing!
How do you see Copenhagen as a tech startup ecosystem and how has it impacted your business?
Based on my experience I think Copenahgen is the best place to start a company. The city is small but really international environment in the city as well as tourists, which is great for a traveltech company. It’s really easy to get around and everyone knows each other, people are very accessible. Having our customers on the backyard and being able to iterate from there was amazing. This scenario made it possible to actually test things while we were developing them in LuggageHero and I could see it live. I could go on the streets and meet my customers – some of the first customers using Luggagehero were people that I convinced on the streets to use it.
It was great to start in Copenhagen and then scaling the business. When I talked to people from the startup ecosystem about our progress with the business they immediately told me “Ok, you have the product and you have proved the concept, now you need to prove the business, you have to show that you can get outside and prove it.” And then we did that by expanding to London.
Where do you see LuggageHero in 3-4 years from now?
It’s really weird just thinking about it because 3 years ago I didn’t even have a product on the back! But in 3 years LuggageHero will certainly be in more cities and will drive more convenience to travel. I decided to solve the global struggle with luggage because I just can’t believe that no company has taken ownership of such a big category even when it’s in everyone’s mind when they travel.
Our vision is to bring convenience to travel, by putting luggage away from travellers and letting them actually belong to their destination. So in 3-4 years we will be closer to achieving it, LuggageHero will be present in more cities and probably even innovated the existing solution – which we are already doing, but we will tell more about that later. | <urn:uuid:142238ec-33bb-4b03-9c5b-924e5bec82b2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.eu-startups.com/2019/10/1-5-million-hours-of-luggage-storage-and-counting-interview-with-luggagehero-ceo-jannik-lawaetz/ | 2020-09-20T07:38:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.982296 | 1,444 |

You may be worry about sight threatening diseases like macular degeneration or glaucoma or cognitive issues like Alzheimer’s Disease. This instrument takes 3 dimensional images of the eye, allowing us to see what’s happening within the layers of tissue with high resolution. Using a specific wavelength of laser, we can cut slices in through retinal, corneal or lens tissue. This technology helps us diagnose many retinal and corneal diseases. But more importantly, it allows us to monitor changes in these diseases to the micron. (There are 25,000 microns to an inch.) We’re able to track subtle changes, giving us better information to guide your treatment.
The newest addition in 2019 allows us to track blood flow in real time. This tells us more information with patients who have cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure and diabetes.
Below shows a healthy macula (part of the eye that allows you to see details and color); it has a nice valley in the middle of third image denoting healthy tissue.
These images show an increase in retinal thickness. Notice how elevated the tissue is in the spot where the valley used to be. We are also able to tell the thickness of any given point within a scan for more detail.
This instrument also can be used for specialty contact lens fitting, ensuring a better fit and less time spent in office. It also can give us corneal thickness, which is a test we use for our pre-Lasik patients.
Central Corneal Thickness Measurement
Ever wonder how we fit contacts with ease? This instrument take an image of the front surface of your eye and gives us an image similar to that of a topographic map where red shows us steeper areas (like mountains) and blue areas are flatter (like oceans). The Medmont Topographer takes calculates over 100,000 points from each eye, giving us a beautifully detailed image of your cornea’s shape. This helps us to simplify complex contact lenses fits as well as make us confident with our more commonly used contacts. We are one of only a few offices with this technology in the greater Kansas City area.
The technology also allows us to visualize what a contact lens will look like on your eye before putting a lens on your eye.

IMPORTANT CLASSES UPDATE – PART 3
Hi everyone. I’m very disappointed to let you know that all group classes are off until further notice.
Please watch the video for an update, and also read the summary below…
From last night, the government ordered that people can’t meet up in groups of more than 2 people which means no group classes are possible. The government will review it again in 3 weeks and so we can only see what happens.
In the meantime I still want you to exercise and keep up your health and fitness as much as possible. I don’t want you to go backwards. You have put in lots of effort to get fitter and healthier and maybe also lose weight, and I want you to keep it up.
I’ve put on an online exercise class on my Facebook page and website earlier today which you can do from home. I can do more if you like. Also let me know if I can help you in anyway and I will help you as much as I can.
With exercise your options at the minute are to do exercise outside like running, cycling, and walking. The government orders that you can do this once a day. You can also do exercise at home like with my online class here…
I encourage you to keep up your exercise and if you want help from me then let know!
I hope that you and your family get on as well possible during this challenging time and I hope to see you soon 🙂 | <urn:uuid:53823139-2bee-4ef3-a860-756e0c0b6ab5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.getactivefitnesscoaching.co.uk/important-classes-update-part-3/ | 2020-09-20T06:58:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.979331 | 307 |
