Beware of Ransomware
All the tire dealer wanted to do was upgrade his point-of-sale software. He chose an in-house server-based system, and made sure his employees received the proper training.
After a “crazy busy” first few days, the training became second nature, some of the bugs worked themselves out, and the new system, he said, “normed down.”
Less than two weeks later, his system was hacked and held for ransom. He was asked to pay up or he would lose all his POS information.
“It’s nothing you want to re-live,” said the dealer when contacted by Modern Tire Dealer. “It’s nothing you want to explain. You think you’re smart enough to run your business.”
The cost of ransomware to U.S. businesses is hard to quantify. In 2016, businesses paid out an estimated $1 billion, compared to $24 million the previous year, based on FBI data. However, those numbers only take into account known victims.
Losses due to downtime also are not included. As of May 2016, the FBI estimated ransomware had cost U.S. small businesses more than $75 million in downtime alone in less than a year and a half.
In a 2016 report sponsored by the Herjavec Group, “Hackerpocalypse: A Cybercrime Revelation,” Cybersecurity Ventures estimated the annual cost of global cybercrime will reach $6 trillion a year by 2021. Ransomware is expected to make up an increasingly larger percentage of that total over the next five years.
What is ransomware?
According to the FBI, ransomware “is a form of malware that targets your critical data and systems for the purpose of extortion.” It is frequently delivered through “spearphishing” emails.
“After the user has been locked out of the data or system, the cyber actor demands a ransom payment. After receiving payment, the cyber actor will purportedly provide an avenue to the victim to regain access to the system or data.”
Wayne Croswell, CEO and president of WECnology LLC, says ransomware attacks are typically carried out using a Trojan disguised as a legitimate file.
“They enter a system or network through, for example, a downloaded file or a vulnerability in a network service. The program then runs a payload, which locks the system in some fashion, or claims to lock the system but does not (e.g., a scareware program). Payloads may display a fake warning purportedly by an entity such as a law enforcement agency, falsely claiming that the system has been used for illegal activities, and contains content such as pornography and ‘pirated’ media.
“Payment is virtually always the goal,” he says, “The victim is coerced into paying for the ransomware to be removed — which may or may not actually occur — either by supplying a program that can decrypt the files, or by sending an unlock code that undoes the payload’s changes. Payment can be as little as $10 or even $1,000, and many victims quickly pay it to get their system back. The attacker can infect thousands of systems and collect millions of dollars in ransom.”
When ransomware first hit the scene, computers predominately became infected with it when users opened email attachments that contained the malware, says Croswell.
“But more recently, we’re seeing an increasing number of incidents involving so-called ‘drive-by’ ransomware, where users can infect their computers simply by clicking on a compromised website, often lured there by a deceptive email or pop-up window.
“Another new trend involves the ransom payment method. While some of the earlier ransomware scams involved having victims pay ‘ransom’ with pre-paid cards, victims are now increasingly asked to pay with Bitcoin, a decentralized virtual currency network that attracts criminals because of the anonymity the system offers.”
To pay or not to pay
It was a day he will never forget. “I came into the store and none of the computers were able to sign on to the server,” said the tire dealer. “So I went back to the server and logged in. There was a message on the screen that said my server had been encrypted, and to get it unlocked I needed to write to an obscure email address for more info.
“I immediately called anyone I knew in IT who would take my phone call, including my regular IT guy, who was on vacation. All of the feedback was not good. It was ‘pay what they ask for’ or ‘pull the server off-line and refresh it as new.’
“I decided on the latter. I wouldn’t pay.”
The dealer was lucky. He had only been using the new system for a short time, so he didn’t lose much information. “It was pretty mundane stuff anyway,” he said. “The data I collected wasn’t harmful. It was not like collecting social security numbers or blood types or financial information.”
What he did not do was contact law enforcement. The FBI, Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and the National Security Agency, among others, consider this a mistake.
“We strongly encourage you to contact a local field office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or U.S. Secret Service immediately upon discovery to report a ransomware event and request assistance,” says the U.S. government in an interagency technical guidance document, “How to Protect Your Networks from Ransomware” (https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ccips/file/872771/download).
“Law enforcement may be able to use legal authorities and tools that are unavailable to most organizations. Law enforcement can enlist the assistance of international law enforcement partners to locate the stolen or encrypted data or identify the perpetrator. These tools and relationships can greatly increase the odds of successfully apprehending the criminal, thereby preventing future losses.”
There are serious risks to consider before paying the ransom, according to the document.
- Paying the ransom does not guarantee access to your data once the ransom is paid.
- Paying the ransom opens the door to future attacks because the attackers know you will pay.
- After paying the ransom, some victims have been asked to pay even more to get the encryption keys. (Surprisingly, the dealer said he was told by a number of IT people there is some honor among cyber thieves.)
- Paying ransom supports and encourages this illegal activity.
The U.S. government does not encourage paying the ransom, but doesn’t prohibit it, either. “Whether to pay a ransom is a serious decision requiring the evaluation of all options to protect shareholders, employees and customers.”
“As with other forms of malware, security software might not detect a ransomware payload, or, especially in the case of encrypting payloads, only after encryption is under way or complete, particularly if a new version unknown to the protective software is distributed,” says Croswell. “New categories of security software, specifically deception technology, can detect ransomware. Deception technology can detect ransomware and notify cyber security teams, which can then shut down the attack and return the organization to normal operations.”
Using software or other security policies to block known payloads from launching will help to prevent infection, but will not protect against all attacks, he says. “There are several tools intended specifically to decrypt files locked by ransomware, although successful recovery may not be possible.
To help prevent being hacked and held for ransom, Croswell suggests the following eight preventive measures:
- Make sure you have updated antivirus software on your computer.
- Enable automated patches for your operating system and web browser.
- Have strong passwords, and don’t use the same passwords for everything.
- Use a pop-up blocker.
- Only download software — especially free software — from sites you know and trust (malware can also come in downloadable games, file-sharing programs, and customized toolbars).
- Don’t open attachments in unsolicited emails, even if they come from people in your contact list, and never click on a URL contained in an unsolicited email, even if you think it looks safe. Instead, close out the email and go to the organization’s website directly.
- Use the same precautions on your mobile phone as you would on your computer when using the internet.
- Conduct regular system back-ups, and store the backed-up data offline.
The Department of Justice has one more step to limit a ransomware infection: “No users should be assigned administrative access unless absolutely needed, and those with a need for administrator accounts should only use them when necessary.”
The attack was a wake-up call for the dealer, who requested anonymity in case the previous hacker decided to accept the “challenge” of his new system.
“I can tell you what I did wrong,” he says. “I did not go through a thorough process to put system controls in place that would have helped prevent this from happening. I needed an action plan in place to know what to do if it happened.”
“Also, by using and in-house server, it was easier to ‘open up the doors’ for hackers to come in. When we installed it, the ports got left open on the router.
“We don’t have a server in-house anymore. We’re using one in the cloud.” And he backs up the data regularly.
“It was a horrible experience,” he said. “Could it have been avoided? I think so. But hindsight is 20-20. If hackers really want to get in, they will, but I’m not going to help them.” ■
From Russia without love: Ransomware is a global phenomenon
“While initially popular in Russia, the use of ransomware scams has grown internationally,” says Wayne Croswell, CEO and president of WECnology LLC and a frequent contributor to Modern Tire Dealer. “In June 2013, security software vendor McAfee released data showing that it had collected over 250,000 unique samples of ransomware in the first quarter of 2013, more than double the number it had obtained in the first quarter of 2012.
“Wide-ranging attacks involving encryption-based ransomware began to increase through Trojans such as CryptoLocker, which had procured an estimated $3 million before it was taken down by authorities, and CryptoWall, which was estimated by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation to have accrued over $18 million by June 2015.”
Can the cloud protect you? Not completely, says WECnology CEO
Discount Tire, the largest independent tire dealer chain in North America, recently announced a multi-year, multi-million dollar cloud-based service agreement with OneView Commerce plc.
“We found that the overall savings in time and cost make cloud-based delivery of a digital store platform the most efficient and economical arrangement for achieving the operational return and improved customer experience that is at the heart of our strategy,” said Tom Williams, senior vice president for Reinalt-Thomas Corp., which does business under the trade name Discount Tire in most of the U.S., America’s Tire in parts of California, and as Discount Tire Direct online.
But does a cloud-based system protect the company against ransomware? Not completely, says Wayne Croswell, CEO and president of WECnology LLC.
“Having a cloud solution doesn’t eliminate ransomware from happening,” he says. “But when you host your application with a trusted secure company, they have the highest level of protection software which can help prevent hacks from getting in.
“But you still have computers at the desks of employees and counters, and if someone there gets a ransomware attack, it could infect the cloud instead of their in-house network.” | <urn:uuid:eb25ebbf-dd49-4ab4-af72-1cc442435a73> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.moderntiredealer.com/articles/22026-beware-of-ransomware | 2020-09-20T06:48:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.956637 | 2,559 |
It’s beginning to feel a lot like summer! The warmer weather means we’re swapping our boots and slippers for sandals and open-toed shoes., and whilst nothing beats squishing the sand between your toes on a hot summer’s day, the impending warm weather can leave some of us worried about our cracked heels!
Smooth, healthy feet look and feel good. Cracked, dry skin on your feet, especially along your heels, is not only unattractive but can also be painful or itchy. Sometimes feet can become flaky and callused to the point that wearing sandals is out of the question, which could be keeping you uncomfortable in the summertime. Though it’s usually simple to treat dry or cracked heels at home, if the condition becomes severe enough, it warrants a visit to a podiatrist.
When to See the Podiatrist
You can usually treat your cracked heels at home, but some situations call for a podiatrist’s care. Elderly people who develop severe cracks should seek medical attention to prevent ulcers or bedsores from forming. We recommend that you see your podiatrist or doctor if your heels crack and: you are diabetic, have impaired circulation or an autoimmune disorder, or suffer from skin conditions. If you are in good health but home treatment does not heal the cracks or your feet bleed, make an appointment with a foot specialist.
Treating cracked heels at home
Meet Urea cream! If you’ve been looking for a way to soothe your cracked heels this season, we recommend you choose softer feet with this not-so-secret product! Urea is not just a great compound found in facial moisturisers and anti-aging creams but it’s also an excellent solution to cracked heels.
What makes this product so great?
Moisturises: Urea draws moisture to the skin and hydrates dry areas making it a great moisturiser and exfoliator.
Strengthen skins barriers: Urea keeps the skin’s barrier strong and healthy by renewing and regenerating skin cells. A strong skin barrier can keep out potential irritants.
Minimises water loss: Urea absorbs water, but also has a high water content which reduces the amount of water lost through the skins epidermis or outermost layer.
Penetration of other products: Urea improves the absorbency and penetration of other skin care products because of how it acts on the skin’s barrier.
Concentrations: Urea is also available in different concentrations depending on the condition of your feet. 5-10% urea is great to keep skin moisturised. 15-30% urea is recommended for very hard and dry skin.
Now that you know how to achieve beautifully moisturised heels, check out our newest arrivals of summer sandals to show them off!
Acacia is a fully adjustable orthotic friendly sandal with stylish perforated leather detailing across the instep. The lightweight sandal will literally pair with any wardrobe choice making it the perfect summer staple.

The Calais slide is the perfect combination of comfort and ease. The simple slide is made of soft premium leather with removable insoles to accommodate orthotics. The ultimate staple for casual style.
Madrid is an orthotics friendly favourite with buttery soft leather and a sleek silhouette. With complimentary strap extensions and padded lining this will be your everyday shoe for everyday activities.

A Lifetime Of Magic #2 DVD (Jerry Andrus)
- Difficulty: ADVANCED
- Category: CLOSE-UP MAGIC
- Product Type: DVD
Volume two of this series features many of the card routines and sleights, which gave Jerry Andrus his reputation of being one of the most creative card magicians of the twentieth century. The routines, techniques and strategies taught will change the way you approach card magic. The only non-card routine included is the famed Accupressure.
Routines performed and explained:
►Accupressure: A large steel ball appears in the palm of our hand after showing both hands empty.
►Whispering Aces: A multiphase routine where four signed aces are lost in the deck but keep coming back to the top. The final two phases have the aces change place with four indifferent cards on the table and finally vanish to appear in your pocket.
►To Any Small Number: A signed selection is lost in the deck. The spectator names a number between one and five. When they count to that number they find their selection.
►Slop Triumph: A unique two phase routine where cards are shuffled face-up and face-down. When the deck is spread the cards are all facing the same way. The first phase incorporates a selection.
►Tracker Jacks: Two jacks are placed face up and a signed selection is placed face down in different parts of the deck. When the deck is spread the selection is found sandwiched between the two jacks.
►Any Card, Any Number: A signed selection appears at a freely thought of position in the deck.
►Similarities: A multiphase routine where you divine the names of selected cards with the final kicker having an indifferent card change into the selection.
►Bowed Deck Display (performance only): A wild looking flourish with a warped deck of cards.
Sleights taught: Panoramic Shift, The Canceled Count, Sidewinder Shift (with many variations), Sleeving From The Deck, Snap Sleeving, De-Sleevery, Vani-Verse Move, The Ginza Shift, Short Wave Pass, Slop Shufle, Table Reverse, Sneak Peek and many unnamed original sleights, subtleties and techniques.
Features the "Tri-Zonal Space Warper" and "Spook Blocks" optical illusions and two interviews hosted by Richard Kaufman where they discuss what constitutes magic and how to invent magic. Original release date: DVD: July 2004, VHS: January, 2001. Running time: Approximately 65 minutes.
Special DVD Features:
Behind the scenes footage of poems and optical illusions.

For several decades damaged vineyard posts have been stockpiling on headlands around the country. The cost of collecting and disposing of them in the prescribed manner has been prohibitive. Volunteers have initiated programs from time to time to collect and sort them into bundles of similar size and arrange transport to farmers outside the region who can use them, most often to replace fences following fire damage. There has been no meaningful programme developed to encourage producers or recyclers to grapple with the problem; so the posts have continued to accrue soon after harvest each year.
More recently, particularly following the SARMS program, additional large piles of homeless dripper tubes have been accumulating on the same headlands, alongside the discarded posts. The tubes are generally considered to have a useful life of 10 to 15 years so these piles will grow much larger if an affordable solution cannot be discovered. It is estimated there would already be tens of thousands of kilometres of tubes that have with the oldies being left under vine or dragged out and left as a home for millipedes, spiders, snakes, rats and lizards. Some growers have taken the trouble to recoil the tubes and donate them to recycling depots but the majority can’t afford the time and cost; so they just sit there and grow!
But wait…an enterprising small business entrepreneur; Uma Preston has established a recycling business that will rebate the grower for tubes returned, against the cost of new tubes. Sustaining Endeavour is the name of her business. She recently contacted Riverland Wine to explore opportunities. One of the major impediments has been the scarcity of ‘recoiling machines’ to make the job more cost effective and affordable. Riverland Wine has offered to work with Uma to secure funding to acquire several recoiling machines that members will be able to use so watch this space and consider the possibilities. In the meantime, visit the Sustaining Endeavour website and read how growers in other regions are already using the service. | <urn:uuid:b22ade72-bbd4-49e6-8c6e-4a505ef3d665> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.riverlandwine.com.au/news-and-media-releases/recycling-and-rebate-service/ | 2020-09-20T07:54:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963908 | 407 |
Matehuala, San Luis Potosi — Intense rain in the city of Matehuala turned streets into rapidly flowing rivers that stranded both drivers and pedestrians.
Civil Protection of San Luis Potosí reports that an intense thunderstorm hit the region Friday evening, leaving several communities flooded after the heavy rains began to fall. State police were out attempting to free trapped divers from vehicles that became overwhelmed by the large amounts of water.
Nearly 50 vehicles were affected by the intense rains as they flowed down city streets that had turned into deadly rivers. Several city intersections became clogged with a collection of vehicles that were swept away by the heavy rains.

He may be a rock star, but proud York citizen Rick Witter shows home is where the heart is by helping a local community football club to film their new promotional video.
The Shed Seven singer was keen to help when he heard about the Hamilton Panther’s plans to build a new multi-sport clubhouse and community café near the city’s Racecourse. The new building has become necessary after a feasibility report deemed the current clubhouse was no longer fit for purpose.
Witter took a break from touring to play the part of a surprised passer-by as young players rush from Bootham Crescent, the home of York City FC, to Panthers’ current headquarters on Knavesmire Road. On the way through the city centre, they pass several famous landmarks and meet a variety of unusual characters. The video was produced by a city-based media company.
Witter says: “My sons play grassroots football and I know how important it is to have good facilities. I often walk past Panthers’ clubhouse and see the poor state it is in. I think the idea of a community clubhouse and café are brilliant, especially as they want to open it up for other local groups to use.”
It is estimated Panthers’ proposed new clubhouse will cost £500,000 and the majority of that funding has already been provisionally secured, subject to planning and grant applications. However, Panthers need to find more sponsors and supporters for the project. Club founder Phil Sanderson adds: “The new facilities will enable us to sustain the club long into the future, and help increase participation among young people in the local community.”
You can find out more about the Hamilton Panthers on their website. | <urn:uuid:3ffd5770-c58b-4790-8a7c-1bc3370b3489> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.soundspheremag.com/news/york/football-club-get-on-target-with-shed-seven-frontman/ | 2020-09-20T08:07:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968549 | 349 |

Impact of mountaintop removal mining on public health and/or aquatic ecosystems
Switzer fellow Evan Hansen with Downstream Strategies, in partnership with SkyTruth, is seeking a Switzer fellow to collaborate on a Network Innovation grant proposal. These West Virginia-based organizations hope to study the impact of mountaintop removal (MTR) mining on public health and/or aquatic ecosystems, and to improve the knowledge-base for future studies of this destructive practice. In 2009, using landuse classification of Landsat satellite imagery, SkyTruth produced a ground-breaking database mapping the actual footprint of mountaintop removal mines from 1976 to 2005. That database that has since served as the foundation for four peer reviewed studies, a public outreach campaign, and is believed to have influenced EPA decisionmaking that overturned a controversial mine expansion permit.
Now SkyTruth and Downstream Strategies hope to update this dataset with more recent satellite imagery and work with another Switzer fellow to conduct a study of MTR impacts with the updated dataset. If you are interested in discussing potential collaboration to study the public or environmental health impacts of MTR mining, please contact Evan Hansen at Downstream Stategies and David Manthos at SkyTruth for more information. | <urn:uuid:6da36eb7-3d41-4a47-9183-2f2359617734> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.switzernetwork.org/network-innovation-proposal/impact-mountaintop-removal-mining-public-health-andor-aquatic-ecosystems | 2020-09-20T06:55:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.888117 | 247 |
Last night in the State of the Union address, President Obama directly addressed the dropout crisis:
We also know that when students aren’t allowed to walk away from their education, more of them walk the stage to get their diploma. So tonight, I call on every State to require that all students stay in high school until they graduate or turn eighteen.
Forcing students who want out to stick around will have limited returns. Reversing the dropout crisis, a crucial goal, would take an extraordinarily comprehensive effort to undo the systemic elements to facilitate students’ decisions to walk away from school. Many young people (7,000 per day; 30% of all students) may wait until high school to disappear physically, but the damage that ultimately manifests in dropping out has likely been done much earlier in their lives.
Russell W. Rumberger has answers. The University of California professor has written Dropping Out: Why Students Drop Out of High School and What Can Be Done About It, published last year by Harvard University Press. In theWashington Post, Jay Mathews called it a “masterpiece” and summarized Rumberger’s key takeaways on how to reverse the dropout crisis:
1. Redefine high school success. The measure of a school should not be just mastery of reading, writing and math, but what are called noncognitive skills, such as motivation, perseverance, risk aversion, self-esteem and self-control. This would help both potential dropouts and kids going to college who need work on their social skills.
2. Change the dropout accounting system so schools aren’t rewarded for transferring problem kids. Even students who spend only a semester in the ninth grade before transferring to another school should be counted when the original school calculates how many ninth-graders completed high school four years later. Otherwise, schools will have an incentive to send students most likely to drop out to other schools rather than try to help them.
3. Stop trying to improve schools by forcing them to change their practices over the short term. Instead, help them build their capacity to improve, with more money and staff, over the long term.
4. Work harder to desegregate schools. Rumberger cites a study that found two-thirds of high schools with more than 90 percent minority enrollment had fewer than 60 percent of their students remain in school from ninth to 12th grade. “In short,” he writes, “it matters with whom one goes to school.”
5. Strengthen families and communities. Compared with other developed countries, the United States has one of the highest rates of children living in poverty. Those are the kids most susceptible to dropping out. Anything that improves the health and job security of school neighborhoods improves graduation rates. More early children education and preschool are also useful.

I’ve never been a huge pancake person – the fluffy, cakey, bready texture just never quite did it for me. The only pancakes I enjoyed eating (and actually loved) were my dad’s pancakes, which were more like really thin crepes than they were actual pancakes.
When I was little my dad was pretty much famous among my friends and family for his pancakes. In our house we called them “Daddy Cakes” (which sounds a little odd when I think about it now, but, hey… we still call them that!) and they were definitely not limited to breakfast. They served as the perfect breakfast-for-dinner treat more times than I can count.
In fact, when I was going through a really rough breakup with my college boyfriend a little over a year ago, I came home for the weekend right after the breakup and the first thing my dad did was make me pancakes. It was more or less the first thing I had eaten in several days, and I immediately felt a little bit better.
The super awesome thing about my dad’s pancakes is that since they are so thin, you can basically eat a ton of them before getting too full. Kayla, my best friend growing up, was the tiniest twig of a girl and she could inhale more than a dozen of my dad’s pancakes in one sitting. My mom, who I always make fun of for eating really small amounts and never being hungry (unless we’re at Chipotle) eats triple the amount I do when we’re eating my dad’s pancakes.
So, needless to say, after going vegan it has certainly been a bummer that I can’t have my beloved “Daddy Cakes” when I’m home. But until today I hadn’t been brave enough to try any of the awesome vegan pancake recipes I’ve been flying around some of my favorite food blogs. Heck… I didn’t even make my own pancakes before I went vegan!
I have been on a pretty huge buckwheat kick lately, so I knew I wanted to make buckwheat pancakes when I finally took the plunge. I woke up early this morning and it seemed like the perfect morning to experiment (and to procrastinate from some work I’ve been neglecting… shhh…)
And voila! It was actually shocking to me how much these looked, tasted, and felt like real pancakes. Well, I guess they are real pancakes. But you know what I mean
I knew from the moment I tasted the batter these were going to be good. And they totally were – especially after I added some nut butter, raw honey, fruit and pecans. YUM! Thanks, Jay, for sending me this ridiculously delicious jar of You Fresh Naturals White Chocolate Cake Batter nut butter. This stuff is like crack.
And, because I love y’all so much, I am doing a giveaway of this crack-nut-butter amazingness. And no, this is not a sponsored post. I actually just love this brand that much. To enter the giveaway, answer the questions at the bottom of this post in a comment.
Healthy Vegan Buckwheat Pancakes:
Yields 4-6 pancakes
1/2 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup quinoa flour (or any other gluten-free flour)
1 tbs ground flax
1 tbs baking powder
1 packet stevia (or any other minimally processed sweetener)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup almond milk
1. Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the almond milk and vanilla extract and mix thoroughly until a thick batter forms.
3. Add fruit or nuts if you’d like. I waited until after they were cooked to add mine.
4. Using ladle or a measuring cup, drop pancake batter onto a skillet at medium-high heat. I greased mine with a bit of coconut oil. You should use about ¼ cup of batter per pancake.
5. Flip pancake when the bottom is golden brown and firm. Cook thoroughly until golden on both sides. For me this only took about 1-2 minutes per side, but you want to make sure it is thoroughly cooked so it tastes its best.
– The thinner you make these, the harder/crunchier they will get, and the thicker, the fluffier. Depending on how you like your pancakes, adjust accordingly.
– The batter lasts well in the fridge for a few days, so if you want to prepare a big batch of batter and use throughout the week, you can certainly do that.
– Eat these pancakes warm. I made the mistake of waiting until they were room temp (darn photo shoot) and they were not nearly as yummy as the first super-warm one that I scarfed down.

Ever since Margaret Court announced last month she would no longer be flying Qantas due to its CEO Alan Joyce using his position to advocate for same sex marriage, she has been the left’s number one target. So when it was revealed that she would be the keynote speaker at a Liberal Party fundraiser for its new candidate for the Victorian state seat of Sandringham Brad Rowswell the event was bound to attract leftist protestors.
In a society such as ours people should be free to attend a private event and hear from an eminent Australian such as Margaret Court without feeling intimidated or having the event disrupted. But the regressive left these days cannot tolerate any opposing viewpoints as they view their opponents as evil and spreaders of hate speech. Not content to constantly mock and ridicule her in the media and demand that the tennis arena named in her honour be renamed they had to attempt to disrupt this event.
A protest was organised by a socialist aligned LGBT organisation Equal Love (which of course is more about hate) outside the event which was being held at the Athenaeum Club in Central Melbourne. The protest was organised on Facebook and had attracted the attention of all of the mainstream media outlets. So, The Unshackled decided to attend this protest, not to give these leftists a platform, but to keep an eye on them and expose any thuggery that may take place as well as offering fair coverage of the event.
The main group of protesters turned up at around 5.30pm, many of them were from the Socialist Alternative whose reputation speaks for itself, with a megaphone to make as much noise as possible, as well as a video projector to shine their slogans up in the air and in the windows of the club. Contrary to mainstream media reports there were only about 40 protestors and thankfully a heavy police presence.
They had clearly been practicing their chants all day with lines such as ‘your bigotry won’t pass the net’ and ‘you’ve lost the set’. As well as the usual chants demanding so called ‘marriage equality’ and trying to equate it with the fight for interracial marriage.
Then it was time for speeches, all of the speakers were eager to say that they were not here to take away Margaret Court’s speech but here to stop the hate (whatever that means) and that part of free speech was their right of reply. They also took the opportunity to spew vitriol against the Liberal Party and Malcolm Turnbull, even though the government has offered a path to same sex marriage through a national vote.
They liked using the word bigotry a lot, the main spokesperson from Equal Love also implied that Margaret Court must have some form of dementia. They were all big fans of the Safe Schools program, given that most of the attendees there were rabid socialists its culturally Marxist dogma is the perfect education program.
Another chant they engaged in was ‘out of the closet and into the streets’. They were carrying as if LGBT have no rights in this country. Their behaviour is legal and has been now for many years, most Australians do not care about a person’s sexuality (as long as they don’t rub it in people’s faces every five seconds) and violence against LGBT people is rare. They are given sympathetic media coverage, there are so many community organisations dedicated to their lifestyle, this is of course is all out in the open.
Despite their spoken commitment to free speech they made it difficult for attendees to safely make their way in, there was a front entrance (where the protest was initially located) but also a back entrance which once they found out about it tried to storm their way in but were blocked by police. Once they realised they’d left the front vacant, they stormed back there (they were obviously not smart enough to split into two groups and guard both entrances).
But thankfully there were no major incidents of violence for which the regressive left has become famous for, but nevertheless a private event like should not need a police presence or public roads blocked off (which inconveniences people who have nothing to do with the event). These ‘marriage equality’ supporters sure wouldn’t react well if traditional marriage supporters decided to voice their views at their gatherings, they would probably respond with violence.
The left cannot voice their disagreement through the proper channels, they have to harass and inconvenience those they disagree with. The protest went well beyond just exercising free speech. The Unshackled will continue to cover major events like this to make these regressives are exposed for their grubby and disruptive tactics. | <urn:uuid:0887f188-df7f-4f2b-a821-7bd57e614ddb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.theunshackled.net/rundown/the-leftist-carry-on-against-margaret-court/ | 2020-09-20T07:41:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.988254 | 935 |
Virtual Assistants have become the target of many scammers and we are aware of it. Seasoned VAs work to help newer VAs open their eyes to this fact when they join VA forums and networks (just one good reason for not going it alone and making sure you join at least one active forum). However there are so many scams out there that appear real and real jobs that appear to be scams that we need to keep alert all the time and learn to discern reality from falsehood. We need to learn to ask questions and help genuine clients give sufficient information in order to get the assistance they need without our being suspicious getting in the way of a prospective and successful new business relationship.
Just recently there have been a couple of new clients who have filled out my job request form on my site seeking work and I’ve emailed them back advising that the information they give is consistent with scammers and that I need more information about the job. On both occasions these people were remotely known to me through others and so I knew their requests were genuine otherwise I might have ignored them.
Snoskred at ‘Life in the Country’ wrote a great post last year about scammers and how she made 5 million dollars online. I’ve only just become aware of this post but thought it was a good one to highlight as I know that many VAs read this blog. And I’m sure there are many clients who read this blog and do business online so I know they’ll benefit from this post also.
Kathie is the owner of VA Directory and is former past President of the Australian VA Association. She founded the Virtual Assistant industry in Australia in the mid 90s, having already been operating a home-based secretarial service. Today the VA industry covers a multitude of office-based services for clients worldwide. | <urn:uuid:81ff9922-0e3a-4fc7-b439-39c475953d27> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.vadirectory.net/those-work-at-home-jobs/ | 2020-09-20T08:22:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.977973 | 374 |
Featuring a team of more than four dozen specialists practicing from seven convenient locations, Watson Clinic’s family medicine and internal medicine departments provide essential healthcare services to generations of patients throughout our community.
Specialists from both departments are often referred to as primary care physicians. A primary care physician provides continuous care throughout a patient’s life, with a deep interest in preventative medicine. By having patients complete specific screening tests, such as those for blood pressure, cholesterol and various forms of cancer, physicians hope to diagnose and treat patients at an earlier stage, thus helping to prevent other significant disease complications. In addition, primary care physicians offer a wealth of treatments for common ailments and injuries, and provide referrals to outside specialists when additional expertise is needed. These physicians serve a critical role as the patient’s most trusted healthcare partner.
Our family medicine specialists treat patients of all ages – from children ages 2 and up to the elderly – and each are skilled in practicing the entire breadth of medicine. They focus on disease prevention, general wellness promotion and the ongoing treatment of chronic conditions. Family medicine services are offered from our Main Clinic, Bartow, Lakeland Highlands, South and two XpressCare locations.
These specialists have recently expanded their appointment availability to meet the needs of patients who require immediate care. If a patient requires prompt medical attention for a minor illness or injury, and they already have an established primary care physician, it is recommended that they call their physician’s office to check same or next day appointment availability.
For more information or to schedule an appointment with our family medicine department, please call 863-680-7190. | <urn:uuid:15cc18fa-a77a-4bee-ab28-6317ad38dba3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.watsonclinic.com/specialties/family-medicine.html | 2020-09-20T08:21:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400196999.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200920062737-20200920092737-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.953512 | 332 |
‘It is an interesting time to be in parliament’, say many of my colleagues who have been in parliament longer than me...
...The reason? The current conservative government has no majority and only a thin majority with the northern Irish DUP.
The theory of our parliamentary system is based on the idea of a division of powers: those who make the laws (the legislative power; parliament), and those who implement the laws (the executive power, the government). Those who referee the disputes (the judiciary, our courts) are independent from each other. This was clear while there was a king who was the government, but since our monarch no longer has a political role, the division between parliament and government has become fuzzy. If the government has a good majority the role of parliament can be quite limited, because the government can get its business through parliament quite quickly, and all the law-making initiatives will help the ruling party to get through its programme.
The recent election didn’t afford any party such comfort and the result is probably the clearest indication how divided the country currently is. But it is a great opportunity to really debate the big issues – mainly Brexit and austerity - and parliament is coming into its important role without the government forcing its position through. Parliament and the diverse views of every single member - front or back bench, government party or opposition parties, matter! In this context the simplistic call to ‘just get on with Brexit’ is particularly misplaced. It seems to me that the public wanted us to have these big debates.
The government now risks losing any vote and has therefore, on a number of occasions, avoided the vote altogether, in order to avoid embarrassment; for example on the question of halting the further roll out of Universal Credit a couple of weeks ago. Last week however, through a clever procedure dating back to the 18th century, the government was forced to concede on an important matter: to release the Brexit impact assessment to the Brexit Select committee (I sit on this committee). The government had argued that releasing the documents would harm the Brexit negotiations. But it is now for the Brexit Select committee, which has members from all parties, to decide whether to release the documents or not. At least, that is what should happen.

Situation: A company has a technology that was developed by but not of interest to a major corporation. The company continues to have significant business ties with the corporation, but the corporation wants to be assured that they are never connected to the technology in question. How do you create a Chinese wall around a product?
Advice from the CEOs:
The challenge facing the company is this: representatives of the large corporation don’t and can’t sell the services offered by the company, however exclusive clients of the corporation represent 25% of the available market for the services provided by the company. To date the large corporation has been unwilling either to reward the company for selling to these clients or to assist them in the sales process.
A solution: show the large corporation that the company provides a higher value or potential value to them than they receive on their existing products.
Show them the potential financial value to them of a symbiotic relationship.
Does the company develop the capabilities and value of the technology on their own, or do they partner with client companies in the market?
Many the potential clients in the market appreciate the technology and want to work with the company in some form so a partnership is possible.
The issue is that an open partnership might offend the large corporation who may then perceive the company as taking advantage of their clients.
How does the company establish a Chinese wall so that neither the large corporation nor the clients who purchase the company’s product are concerned about any activity that the company undertakes in the market?
Set up a separate entity and license the technology to this entity. The company would be an investor and would do some of the work but through a client/service relationship with the separate entity.
Get independent M&A advice on how to structure this entity.
Investigate other companies that have set up similar structures. Determine how they have addressed concerns such as conflict of interest, and what structures they have set up to avoid this.
Situation: A company is facing the expiration of the principal patent for its main product. There are subsidiary patents which still have life. Currently, there are no competing products, but several companies understand the technology. How do you plan for patent expiration?
Advice from the CEOs:
Think of this as a two-step process:
Step 1 – Step back and look at what the company has:
Patents – including the claims that have been awarded on all company patents.
Facilities – capable of manufacturing current products, but also additional products, perhaps with a minimum of additional equipment.
People – competent staff running manufacturing operations, and tight office operations.
Step 2 – Loot at where the company could go and evaluate the markets where the existing technology is applicable:
Work with outside, imaginative people who can take a fresh look at the options.
Looks carefully at the claims in all the company’s patents.
What do they cover?
Is there an opportunity to extend current claims through process patents?
Caveat: a company can file for a process patent on anything that has been for sale on the market for less than a year. However, if they have been selling a product covered by this application for more than a year, they cannot.
Look at other markets – companies that could license the company’s technology, or with whom the company could partner to provide new consumer-oriented products:
Is there inexpensive, affordable equipment that would enable the company to produce additional products in the current location?
Think outside the box: what business is the company in? Think more broadly than the current market about where high value opportunities exist. These can be low to medium volume, high price/margin or high-volume lower price/margin.
Patents are not the only protection – trade secrets also work. 3M’s primary IP strategy, particularly on their adhesives, etc. is through trade secret – both for low and high-volume products.
“Product” patent extensions have limited utility. They are easy to design around. “Process” patents have more utility. These can be licensed at low cost per application in high volume applications and provide a nice royalty reserve stream.
Situation: A CEO is evaluating an acquisition which could significantly contribute to his company’s financial position. Patented technology may add value to the deal. The founders of the acquisition target are willing to work part-time to facilitate the transition of their technology to the acquirer. How do you evaluate an acquisition?
Advice from the CEOs:
Set a timetable to close the deal or walk.
Two key factors in the due diligence process will be strength of the intellectual property and cost of the acquisition long term.
Another key factor to evaluation will be how this opportunity fits into the company’s larger financing plan. Currently the company is undertaking a financing round. How much will this acquisition contribute to or distract from the financing round?
If this is a primarily a value-add opportunity, will it add to the larger financing round?
Can the larger financing round be completed on time while pursuing this opportunity?
An option is to negotiate a white label agreement – an agreement that will keep the company in the game while completing the larger round.
If the founders are not amenable to a delay, what is the cost in terms of funds and effort versus the larger round.
The technology appears interesting, but the timing is bad given your need for the larger financing round. Here’s an option.
Go to the founders and start the discussion. Secure a license or hire their programmer. Let the technology go dark until the financing round is completed.
There is value here – but do this as a side focus if it’s not too expensive. Assure that the deal includes both rights and the underlying algorithms.
Delegate this to someone else in the organization. The CEO’s focus is the larger financing round.
Situation: The founding

is doing well, with two options for future development either within or outside
the company. How do you choose between strategic options?

Situation: A technology company has established a leadership position in their niche. Nevertheless, they struggle with individual performance and buy-in to company performance. The CEO asks whether increasing ownership through stock incentives in a non-public company is an effective incentive for employees. How do you strengthen internal incentives and ownership?
Advice from the CEOs:
In the past, employees voiced a strong predilection for share ownership as recompense for the personal risk and sweat that they have put into the company.
It may be advisable to revisit this, particularly given the increased risk that comes with share ownership as a result of regulatory changes of the last 10 years.
As a substitute for share ownership, they may be open to some proxy that will provide them with value and the opportunity to have their opinions heard in the case of a buy-out.
Another company looked at this closely at the time of formation. They decided that proper recognition for contribution did not equal ownership. Ownership also entails personal liability and risk, which many don’t realize and, once they understand the implications of owners’ liability, don’t want. As an alternative they adopted a liberal profit-sharing structure that has met with employee enthusiasm.
Think about this discussion in terms of incentives:
Short Term – Annual-type incentives
Make sure that incentives align with desired behaviors so that individuals’ contributions contribute to business plan objectives and the next step for the company.
Long Term – consider the trade-offs
Broadly distributed share ownership not only complicates future flexibility but may also complicate a buy-out or merger opportunity. Consider the implications of a situation where most shares are in the hands of past rather than current employees.
Strategic Partners wishing to invest may be reticent to work with a company with broadly distributed ownership.
ESOPs, while frequently referenced, tend to eat their children. They have several complications:
They are governed by ERISA, so you cannot discriminate. All must be able to participate.
Ownership is prescribed – with a maximum of 10% per employee. Will a future CEO candidate be happy with 10% when the admin assistant gets 3%? In this way ESOPs can impair succession and recruitment plans.
Annual valuations can be expensive.
Phantom or Synthetic Equity Programs
A company can tailor these to meet changing objectives.
Valuations are cheap and valuation metrics are easy to monitor.
To work through the options, sit and talk with the employees, and listen. Ask what concerns them. Don’t try to come up with a solution until their concerns are understood. There is an array of options available.
Situation: A technology-based company has a very successful product in a niche market. The team has been brainstorming about additional markets into which the product could be introduced. The only experience that the CEO and team members have is with the existing market. While other markets are appealing, they lack the experience and contacts to penetrate new market opportunities. How do you introduce a product into a new market?
Advice from the CEOs:
Hire someone, either an employee or a consultant, who intimately knows and can introduce you to the new market. If you have more than one good candidate consider hiring them both.
Start with clients that you already serve in your current market but who also serve the new market. This can provide quick wins and proof of concept. Overlap is important because you will have a shorter sales cycle with these clients.
Another company moved from on-site consulting to turn-key services. They found the purchase process to be completely different. Originally, they were unprepared for this, so the transition took longer than it might have.
Talk to existing customers and learn about their companies’ purchasing processes to organize your fact gathering and strategy.
Read case studies of other companies’ experience moving a single platform between markets.
Another company moved from niche photography – holiday photos – to photos for Fortune 500 companies. This was the same expertise, but the market and decision processes were different.
Key to the successful move was understanding the people in Fortune 500s who were making the buy decision and the structure of their decision process. The CEO of this company registered for conventions attended by client prospects. This provided a quick way to meet and learn about key people and their decision processes.
Situation: A growing technology company is faced with several opportunities. The CEO is too busy to devote the time to analyze each of these. In addition, the CEO wants to develop her staff so that they can take on more responsibility and mature into a full organization. How do you choose between opportunities?
Advice from the CEOs:
Everything starts with a strategic plan for the company. Either the CEO or an outside consultant should coordinate a strategic planning session to develop and rank the opportunities facing the company. The ranking exercise is best done as an open departmental or company-wide exercise so that everyone is involved in the process. This helps to build consensus and commitment to the opportunities developed.
Once the opportunities have been identified assign one to each of the employees that you want to develop. Each of the employees will be the champion for that opportunity.
Ask each champion to develop a business case and plan for their opportunity. This will include a development plan and ROI analysis. Allow each champion to access all company resources as they develop their plans. Set a deadline for all champions to complete their plans.
Once the plans have been completed, reconvene the group that participated in the strategic planning session and have the champions pitch their plans to the group. The group will provide feedback and suggestions for each plan. At the end of the session repeat the ranking exercise based on the new information developed and presented.
This will provide a wonderful training opportunity for the champions as well as valuable insight into their talents and potential for future development. In addition. Because the strategic planning sessions will be conducted as a company-wide exercise, they will act as team-building exercises and excite everyone about the potential facing the company.
Situation: A company’s goal is to replace an old, established market with new technology and, by owning the technology, to reinvent the industry. Given this aggressive goal, there is a temptation to go into volume production before establishing the cost advantages to make the technology profitable. The challenge is to establish disciplined, stable, qualified, scalable and profitable manufacturing. To accomplish this, the company must decide between alternatives as they cultivate new customers. How do you optimize your pipeline?
Advice from the CEOs:
There are two sides of the market:
Mega-markets dominated by large corporations which have long lead-times and potentially huge payoffs; however, these markets present long payoff delays for the company.
Smaller, quicker markets with limited volume but which will offer rapid PO acquisition and proof of concept.
The question is how much effort to devote to which market.
Look for early customers who are cast in your own light – disruptors who can help to catapult you into the marketplace
The trade-offs are strategic vs. tactical opportunities.
The immediate tactical need is to generate cash to show that you can. This is the steak.
The strategic need is to seed a foothold in a mega opportunity – to show the potential to revolutionize the market. This is the sizzle.
Identify a killer app that will gain tactical advantage and cash and help prompt maturation of a strategic opportunity.
Another CEO shared experience landing a large client.
They used a short, low cost pilot project to prove the concept to skeptical client staff. The client was surprised and delighted by the success of the pilot project. The pilot project was then articulated into larger projects.
Over time the company used incremental steps to gain a broad presence within the large company.
Focus business development on selling killer apps.
Find low hanging fruit for quick proof of salability and to show a revenue ramp.
Small design wins exercise the machine.
Is it possible to conserve cash to raise the impact of early wins to the bottom line?
Are all current staff during the next 12 months?
Early on, the game is business development – gaining key contracts and agreements with lead customers. Sales follows, with focus on the larger market. This may be 6 months to 2 years out. How many people are needed to focus on business development?
Situation: A company has strong technology and good top customers. However, the CEO is concerned that the company is too dependent on a few large clients. She wants to increase business among mid-tier clients. How do you expand the sales funnel?
Advice from the CEOs:
Get very crisp in identifying who your core customer is and focus on them near term. Look at what you offer that your competition can’t match and create appealing offers for new clients.
Simplify and clearly define your market position.
Here’s an example: First to market with the best, smallest, fastest solution.
This clearly defines who you are. Focus the company on delivering this.
In each high potential market find one company to whom you can offer a significant advantage.
Their current market position might be number 2, 3 or 4. Offer them a solution to gain an advantage on #1 and shift the playing field. This is a win-win for both you and them.
Horizontal business expansion could be the best near-term strategy. This lets each vertical market solve their own problems of technology direction, logistics, etc. Seek customers who have the resources to manage this in their respective market places.
Tailor contract minimums and pricing according to customer order commitments. Be willing to sacrifice price and some margin for committed purchases that match your timelines and resources.
Buyers often overstate their anticipated needs because they don’t want to be caught with short supply.
You can meet and promise lower prices for higher volumes because they rarely order them. However, combine this commitment with higher prices for the lower volumes that they are more likely to order.
Look across markets and focus on promising targets.
Use a call center to queue up prospecting telephone calls.
Have sales people conduct scripted qualification calls with prospects by telephone.
Only send sales people out to talk to qualified prospects. This saves travel expense and increases the productivity of in-person sales calls.
Situation: A tech company has grown to twenty people. The CEO is concerned that if they grow much beyond this their culture will start to change. The principal question is whether team leadership structure will remain tight and focused, while teams will continue to be flexible and have fun. How do you manage culture as you grow?
Advice from the CEOs:
Other companies have grown to twice this size and continue to increase their number of employees.
One uses component owners as leads, with people under them. Leads are more technical than managers and aren’t expected to be superb managers.
They grow middle managers organically instead of hiring from outside.
If an individual’s plate is full, give them the ability to delegate work to an up and comer.
Active communication has number limits.
The optimal functioning group is 7-12; higher functioning teams are even smaller with 7-8 members.
Create flexible teams that maintain communication pathways and culture.
Consider using reconfigurable space.
When one company grew from 25 to 60, they noticed that at 30 people it became difficult to track people; they needed to develop systems and internal management tools.
Much more attention was needed on sales forecasting and expense elasticity. The solution was to study peaks and valleys and built a model that could function within historic peak /valley limits.
How do you maintain the contractor pool?
Keep a list and actively communicate with them about current and anticipated needs.
One company’s rule: consultants are 100% billable – functionally they are only able to realize 98%, but the rule keeps this number high.
Use contractor pools to supplement project tasks. If your primary differentiating focus is on successfully closing projects, focus contractors on ramping new projects.

Bloomberg’s tech startup wasn’t typical. It was always based in New York City, for one thing. The time was the early 1980s, and Bloomberg was 39, a general partner at the prominent Wall Street firm Salomon Brothers. He had been a successful trader who was then assigned to supervise the firm’s computer services.
One day, out of the blue, Salomon’s executive committee agreed to a lucrative merger offer. Bloomberg and the other partners immediately received enormous checks—his was for $10 million. Unlike most of the other partners, Bloomberg was told not to come back to the merged company.
With a fat wallet but no job, Bloomberg decided to start a tech company that would give traders the ability to use computers for the analysis that separates smart trades from foolish ones. He had a financial windfall to build a team and a business plan; the idea was customized terminals with access to financial data and tools to compare investments and track changes in price over time, among other things.
Fair to say, success hinged on landing an important first client, Merrill Lynch, and keeping expenses low by having the small team do much of the work themselves. “Never before or since did I have as much fun and as challenging a time,” he recalled in his 1997 book.
In particular, Bloomberg relates how he and his team would install the terminals themselves for early corporate clients. “Amid old McDonald’s hamburger wrappers and mouse droppings, we dragged wires from our computers to the keyboards and screens we were putting in place, stuffing the cables through holes we drilled in other people’s furniture—all without permission, violating every fire law, building code, and union regulation on the books,” he writes. “It’s amazing we didn’t burn down some office or electrocute ourselves. At the end of the day, ten or eleven o’clock at night, we’d turn it on and watch what we’d created come alive. It was so satisfying.”
In this joyful, who-gives-a-damn description of growing a startup, Bloomberg appears downright Zuckerbergian. What he was doing was important; the fire code and union regulations were tedious, inefficient, and an obstacle to progress. Rules are for the ordinary, not the extraordinary. Still, it is jarring to read this cavalier approach to the law from a politician who has championed “stop and frisk” policing, with its presumption of guilt that fell so heavily on young black men.
A few others have pointed out this inconsistent attitude toward rule-breaking, and the message must have gotten through to Bloomberg. For the 2019 reissue of Bloomberg by Bloomberg, that passage has been changed. He has deleted the phrase, “violating every fire law, building code, and union regulation on the books” and replaced it with the more innocuous, “all without permission, without giving any thought to any fire law or building code.” In the process, he has deleted his offense against organized labor, while changing something willful—violating fire laws and the like—into something offhand. “Your honor, I didn’t really give the question any thought.”
Not to overanalyze an editing choice, but this question of intent is really central to how we approach Silicon Valley and our leaders more generally. There was something elusive, too, about that much-discussed phrase emanating from Facebook, “Move fast and break things.” Was Facebook breaking things on purpose, choosing that thing over there to disassemble—say, offline friendships or democracy—in order to grow its business? Or was it just saying, don’t pay any mind to what you might be breaking? Things are going to get damaged, and that’s OK.
Perhaps it is a sign of how dire the political system seems that so many are open to putting their hopes in a billionaire savior to go up against the (perhaps) billionaire president. You might think that, given his background, Bloomberg would be uniquely able to uncurl Silicon Valley’s grip on our lives—our shopping, our conversations, our elections. He, if anyone, should be beyond their reach. Of course, he only appears to have that freedom because he made billions of dollars in the very same way.

A police report can be one of the most essential components of your personal injury case following an auto accident. It is very important that you call the police in any auto accident because you may need this documentation later, when you're trying to recover damages from the person responsible for your injuries.
Read on to learn exactly how to get a police report after an auto accident, and how to use it to get the money you deserve:
How to Obtain the Police Report
You should obtain a copy of the police report as soon as possible following the accident. The police precinct (or other law enforcement location) that created the report will typically make it available to you once it has been reviewed by the superior officers at that location. This may take a few days, so you should call and ask when you can pick a copy of the report up. You may be able to request that the report is mailed to you or your attorney directly, as well.
What a Police Report Reveals
The police report from an auto accident will typically be full of valuable information, including:
- The date and time of the accident
- The specific location of the accident
- The weather conditions at the time of the accident
- A list of any legal citations or violations that were issued to either driver involved in the accident
- The insurance information for both drivers involved in the accident
- A notation of any admission of fault made by either driver at the scene of the accident, if any
- Observations made by police officers regarding the cause or the responsibility for the accident, if any
- A list of accident witnesses, if any
How Your Lawyer Can Use The Police Report
Although a police report is typically not allowed as evidence in a civil court proceeding, a personal injury lawyer can use the police report as a valuable negotiation tool. This is significant because 95 to 96 percent of all personal injury lawsuits are resolved in a settlement that is negotiated before the civil court date occurs.
Your lawyer can cite any of the information in the police report during negotiations to prove that the other party is responsible for your injuries. This may include:
- Proving that the other driver was impaired, if they were issued a citation for impairment of any type
- Proving that the other driver admitted guilt at the scene of the accident, if this was documented in the report
- Contacting the witnesses listed on the police report and obtaining statements regarding the fault of the other driver from them
If you have a personal injury case due to an auto accident, don't underestimate the importance of the police report. As you can see, your lawyer can use their expert negotiation skills to turn that report into compensation for you. To learn more, contact a professional like Richard M Altman. | <urn:uuid:a1b69784-f263-4ce1-a69f-74a9dbcc0e78> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://teenbookfanatics.com/2015/05/21/the-police-report-in-an-auto-accident-how-to-get-it-and-what-to-do-with-it/ | 2020-09-21T16:35:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.966398 | 557 |
I'm writing this post as The Bear puts in another 6-day, hour work week. Nope, that wasn't a typo. Boyfriend works loooooong hours. And even though he made this "lifestyle" very clear to me from Date 2 - something along the lines of, "Do you really understand what you're getting yourself into? Medicine is a jealous mistress, my friends.
Ahhhh, well, guess what?
She said 'yes'
You're ridin' solo now, my friend, because ata patient in the ICU crashed and he'll be there for at least two more hours doing paperwork. My suggestion: Always have a Plan B or start enjoying meals by yourself - I swear, sushi tastes better with a good book! Or start a blog. Or get a cat. Or call me, because I'm probably available. A note on vacation time: First-year residents get 2 two-week vacations. But don't make the same mistake we did and take it a month into residency.
To be fair, it was my sister's wedding and we didn't have much a choice.
Dating in medical residency
But still, learn from us and spread those two week vacas out or those hospital stretches are going to feel like for-ev-er. What I've found to be helpful in managing expectations is to simply have no expectations. I've disappointed myself far too many times at this point that I now view any extra time he can spend with me as a bonus.
That being said, it's important that when you two do have time alone that he is fully present - put the medicine talk on hold unless he has a really juicy or horribly gory story to tell you and let me tell you, doctors have the BEST stories and connect.
Whatever connecting looks like for you. Or wine and Netflix. Or wine andmore wine.
I feel dating through residency built a very strong foundation for my marriage. The horror stories are out there, but so are the happy ones. Best advice I had during residency: a doc who was a few years out of residency telling me "It will not always be like it is now. Get through it, it's so much better on the other side". She was right.

Jan 07, I am dating a wonderful girl in residency. Dating a doctor needs a certain kind of understanding. It would help if you find out more about the Medical Profession. Will try to explain some details here. First, a rundown: the exact details of reside.
You get the point. Last night, I walked in on the Bear practicing stitches.
Doctors, Residents, and Attendings: What's the Difference?
He had a how-to video queued up on his computer and he was trying over and over again on his practice stitch board is that what they call those things, asks the non-medical professional? After a 7-day week where he clocked hours, he was still bettering himself, still putting in time to be a better doctor. I smiled and watched him until he got it right, because to watch someone you love do something they love?
That's the good stuff. She enjoys reading, traveling, and reading while traveling.
Mar 08, When I was finishing my fifth year of studies as clinical psychology doctoral student, I fell in love with a second-year medical resident; a wanderer at heart with the softest smile and a way of listening that made me feel like the whole world stopped when I spoke.

Working for Change offers leadership-training programs to people marginalized by poverty, homelessness, mental health issues, gender, violence, and newcomer/immigration experiences. Our graduates have become public speakers and advocates on a range of social justice issues.
Voices from the Street (Voices)
Voices from the Street provides economically, politically and socially marginalized individuals from diverse backgrounds an opportunity to bring their voices and perspectives to decision-making bodies that shape public policy. Graduates from the program are part of a Speakers Bureau that creates opportunities for members to advocate for societal change and reduce stigma and discrimination. Members of the Speakers Bureau are available to speak on various topics related to poverty, mental health issues, addictions, homelessness, domestic violence and newcomer issues.
Women Speak Out (WSO)
Women Speak Out, was a leadership training program that operated from 2011 to 2014. It used a gender lens to explore social justice issues. Graduates of WSO are active members on a range of advisory committees and community boards and they have participated in international and national exchanges with other grassroots women’s groups. They are also members of our Speakers Bureau. In 2013, WSO won the Women Transforming Cities Best Practices Award for their work.
Pre-Employment Relief Worker Training
There is increased recognition in the social service sector that people with lived experience/peer workers bring valuable skills, empathy, and an ability to relate to and support others who are accessing the social service system. At the same time, the opportunity to work allows people who are living in poverty to change their economic status and feel empowered by their contribution to society. Our program is one of the few that provides in-depth training that prepares people to work as relief workers in shelters, drop-ins and housing programs. By starting as relief workers, our graduates have the opportunity to gain experience and move on to full-time employment in the social service sector.
Pre-Employment Food & Horticulture Training
We offer a 12 week training program focusing on employment in either the food or horticulture sectors. In addition to receiving pre-employment training which focuses on assisting people who have been out of the workplace for extended periods, participants also have on the job training in their selected area. Some of the graduates of the program find work in our social enterprises, Parkdale Green Thumb Enterprises, Out of This World Cafe, and the Raging Spoon Catering Company.

Kekkaishi vol. 1 - Yellow Tanabe
By night, junior high student Yoshimori Sumimura is a "kekkaishi" - a demon-hunter who specializes in creating magical barriers around his prey. By day, Yoshimori's got some other demons to battle: an addiction to sweets and a seriously crotchety grandfather! Yoshimori's pretty 16-year-old neighbour and childhood friend, Tokine Yukimura, is also a kekkaishi, but their families are feuding over who is the true practitioner of the art. Although Yoshimori and Tokine often quarrel, they battle demons side by side almost every night. When the two must confront demon-charmer Yomi and her dysfunctional pet demon Yoki, their partnership is threatened. Can they work together to keep their school from the clutches of a power-hungry monster-and keep their fellow students from noticing? (courtesy of Goodreads)
*Warning: Potential spoilers. My manga reviews tend to be more of a summary than a review. I find it hard to review manga in the same way I do regular books.
Like most early volumes in a series, volume 2 of Kekkaishi is a lot of background material. While background volumes often drag, this volume had enough plot and action that you hardly noticed the substantial amount of background information.
A mysterious girl shows up at Tokine's house saying she was sent to stay with them by the shadow organization. Tokine's grandmother is surprised but admits her into the house. Turns out that Yomi is a demon tamer. The real reason she's here is to take her demon Yoki to Karasumori, where Yoki can grow into a powerful and dangerous demon. Yomi is willing to do anything to help Yoki the demon gain power, including killing Tokine and Yoshimori when they get in her way. Yomi particularly likes to taunt Tokine about her dead father, accusing him of being weak.
What I liked about this volume is that there's an undercurrent of love in many of the characters. Yomi truly loves her demon Yoki. They've been friends for years. Even Yoki the demon has some affection for Yomi. It shows that demons are not simply devilish creatures. I doubt they'll be the heroes of this series, but the series isn't simply black and white. Yoshimori is a kindhearted boy. Brave and willing to kill, but not without thought. He recognizes that some demons or demon tamer may not be worthy of death even if they're bad. In contrast, when the shadow organization shows up to help destroy the demon, they're cold-hearted killers. So the good guys may not be entirely good.
I still can't say that I'm in love with Kekkaishi. But I do like the thought that's gone into this series and the layered characters. | <urn:uuid:b6a7a12f-6643-40a3-847d-7a889436744f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.alisoncanread.com/2011/08/manga-mondays-61-kekkaishi-vol-2-yellow.html | 2020-09-21T15:08:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963883 | 598 |

U.S.-China Trade: United States Has Secured Commitments in Key Bilateral Dialogues, but U.S. Agency Reporting on Status Should Be Improved
David Gootnick (au)
China is the largest destination for U.S. exports outside North America and also the source of the largest U.S. bilateral trade deficit. The countries engage in two high-level dialogues to address trade barriers and cross-cutting economic issues. These are the U.S.ńˇ˝China Joint Comm. on Commerce and Trade (JCCT), co-led for the U.S. by the Commerce Dept. and the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR); and the economic track of the U.S.ńˇ˝China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED), led by the Treasury Dept. This report reviewed China's bilateral trade commitments made in these dialogues. It (1) describes trade and investment commitments China has made at the JCCT and S&ED; (2) describes U.S. agency tracking of China's implementation of these commitments; and (3) evaluates U.S. agency reporting on implementation.

You, the reader, are anyone who feel that you want to learn more about climate change, why it matters and what you can do about it. You might find the topic abstract and difficult to grasp or simply want to see new creative ways of showcasing climate change issues that you already know of.
‘About Us: Stories of Climate Change’ is a comic book about the various aspects of climate change for all ages. However, the main target group is youth of ages 16-22. The book can be used as part of the high-school curriculum, offering insight on the interconnected issues of climate change with agriculture, biodiversity, politics and economics, as well as an accompanying teacher’s guide available suggesting pedagogic activities related to each story (sold separately).
Not everyone learns best by reading books. Our comic book offers a new way of learning through visual, personal and emotional stories of climate change. Whether you are a high-school student or never want to stop learning, ‘About Us: Stories of Climate Change’ offers modern, adapted and graspable perspectives on climate change.
By acquiring the book ‘About Us: Stories of Climate Change’, you are given the following:
10 stories of climate change, all based on real stories and real science. These stories display various aspects of climate change, from its impacts on biodiversity and tourism to its interconnection with our economic and political systems. Each depicted story is followed by an explanation of the science it’s based on and where the reader can find more credible information about the topic.
Instead of a general text book, our comic book offers a more visual and personal way to learn about climate change. The reader follows the main character across the globe as she encounters various people, each having their own story to tell. This way, the reader learns about the various aspects of climate change through what it really means for people like him or her.

This chapter contains solutions particularly relevant for youth. | <urn:uuid:c7fe8c3b-af43-41fc-b67d-2f69f8254358> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://aboutusclimate.org/aboutyou/ | 2020-09-21T16:50:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.957923 | 476 |
It was Fathers Day in the UK yesterday. Even in Yorkshire. Let’s give a shout out to the Dads. Yes we are in most cases crap at multitasking, dammed annoying, often in the way but we are sometimes useful….. In my case I am still waiting.
So Sunday’s Dad List in this case was
- Make breakfast – burnt and milk out of date
- Housework – managed to get the sofa throw stuck in the hoover and snapped the last hoover belt
- Clothes washing – washing machine stuck on the 10 minute pre wash cycle so not exactly clean so needed to run the cycle 5 times
- Make lunch – criminally couldn’t get the Yorkshire Puddings to rise
- Take dog for walk – dog rolled in sheep poo so he stinks
- Bath dog – then spend an hour trying to dry out the house after the dog started shaking himself down. Aquaman has nothing on him.
- Pack School Bag – went without incident but will only find its success when he gets back home
- Time for some me time – made a coffee to sit outside as it’s unbelievably stopped raining, but find a large bird has crapped over the garden chair. Clean chair then find it’s started to rain again. Cold coffee looking out at a monsoon.
- Change bedding – ok apart from a brutal wrestling match with duvet cover
- Cook Tea – salad is pretty much Dad proof
- Wash up – managed to smash one cup
- Iron school uniform – find that I forgot about the wash in the washing machine. So set off a quick Tumble Dryer run
- Revise for school end of year tests – another opportunity to show the processing power differences between a young vibrant mind and a knackered old one
- Run bath – find someone forgot to wash the towels
- Iron school uniform – presentable but managed to burn my hand
- Lock doors – not easy when you can’t find the keys
- Catch up on Work – not easy when laptop decides it needs yet another update
- Go to bed – can’t sleep
That’s a pretty typical Sunday. So yes Dads can be crap but we also can be busy. Ok that in my case is busy being crap – but it’s still busy. As it’s Fathers Day I will give myself a pat on the back for that. I survived another day. | <urn:uuid:28ca0501-55fe-4d6a-9bf8-339f4143b055> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://bereavedsingledad.blog/2019/06/17/fathers-day/ | 2020-09-21T17:06:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.942261 | 511 |
On April 9, Bitcoin wallet service company Electrotum was attacked by hackers, causing user funds to be lost. In response to this attack, Beosin Chengdu Chainan made an analysis: this time the wallet Electrum was attacked, mainly because the kivy framework used is the standard py compiler and the wallet is not protected against secondary packaging. The core file can be directly Decompile back to the py file. The attacker can directly copy the code that steals the user's password and the secret key in the way of the code, and then cooperate with other attacks to entice the user to install the wallet with the malicious code, thereby stealing the user's password, key, etc. Sensitive information. | <urn:uuid:435b8cba-4183-44a6-804b-5ef0f2be0d09> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blocking.net/966/electrum-was-attacked-and-the-funds-were-stolen/ | 2020-09-21T15:42:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.921262 | 146 |

I’ll say it again, I love ice themed levels. Most of the time it’s due to the fact that the music is just so calming. I really do enjoy this level, however, this ice is super slippery from what I was used to. Especially once you turn into the plow.

The German government announced Monday that it agreed to a €9 billion ($9.8 billion) deal to help flag carrier Lufthansa survive an “existential emergency” caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The largest German corporate rescue will give the government a 20% stake in the group, which owns airlines in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium, and two seats on its supervisory board.
"Before the pandemic, the company was healthy and profitable and had good prospects for the future, but it faces an existential emergency because of the current corona crisis," the government said in the statement. "The federal government's stabilization package takes into account the needs of the company as well as the needs of taxpayers and employees of the Lufthansa Group."
“When the company is afloat again, the state will sell its shares,” German Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said during the press conference on Monday, according to the CNN.
But the deal still has to be approved by the Lufthansa’s shareholders and the European Commission.
If approved it will be the largest airline rescue in Europe. Air France got a €7 billion ($7.66 billion) loan from the French government last month.
Deutsche Lufthansa AG is the largest airline of Germany which, when combined with its subsidiaries, is the second largest airline in Europe in terms of passengers carried.
Lufthansa is also one of the five founding members of Star Alliance, the world's largest airline alliance, formed in 1997. | <urn:uuid:3437dc7a-f49a-4ea2-898b-09ce591d29ac> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://business.com.tm/post/5549/germany-approves-98-billion-rescue-deal-for-lufthansa | 2020-09-21T16:57:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962211 | 325 |

The regulators watching the official launch of Shanghai’s free trade zone (FTZ) on Sunday are surely anticipating a headache brought on by a quick exit of cash from the country.
Officials have promised to liberalize interest rates and allow for a freely convertible yuan within the zone. They say foreign banks will be able to establish wholly owned branches without hassle. Business will prosper on preferential tax treatment and reduced red tape.
That’s not all that would flourish in such an environment. Arbitrage, or cashing in on the price differences between two markets, is expected to be a major problem. So is the hot cash outflow from investors looking for better markets in which to put their money given the paltry returns at home.
As the rules for the FTZ are still unknown, it’s unclear the extent to which the zone will allow arbitrage, which has lead to large inflows of cash into China in the past year. It is not known if special rules formulated for operations inside the zone will be allowed to spill into the rest of China. But lugging suitcases of cash into the 30 square-kilometer area seems highly unlikely at present.
If banks can open a representative office in the FTZ but offer deregulated services to the outside world, this would be akin to liberalizing the yuan across the country. At least at first, activities will be heavily restricted to avoid, among many things, a rush of hot inflows and outflows of cash.
“Proposals to loosen capital controls, for example, would open massive arbitrage opportunities for any firms able to shift money in and out of the zone,” London-based Capital Economics said in a note.
Trade arbitrage is easy, and it’s already prevalent in China. Traders in southern provinces roiled the country’s trade data in the first half of the year when they brought hundreds of millions of hot dollars into the country and cashed in on differing exchange rates.
Here’s one way to arbitrage exchange rates, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch: First, a trader on the mainland borrows US$1 million and converts that into yuan. Then he imports something with low logistics costs, such as gold, from a business partner in Hong Kong. There the money becomes offshore yuan, which in May is worth more than mainland yuan. The partner then converts the offshore yuan to US dollars. Finally, the trader exports the product, bringing the dollars back to the mainland.
In May, the deal could have yielded more than US$8,000 on the difference in value between onshore and offshore yuan.
In the past year, since exchange rates have become profitable, the practice inflated China’s export data. Last May, exports grew year-on-year by 17.3%. Yet economists said real growth was probably about 5%. A crackdown by the authorities on arbitrage that month caused June exports to contract by 3.1%, demonstrating just how much the numbers earlier in the year had been twisted by arbitrage.
Perhaps more threatening than hot inflows is a quick flush of money out of the country, something that could drain liquidity from the market and push a country heavily dependent on easy access to credit toward a crisis.
Hot outflows are already common in China but strict limits on convertibility have prevented a wave of cash heading outward.
Regulators are surely tracking the rate at which the zone opens up compared to sluggish domestic financial reform. Investment opportunities in the stock market are abysmal and real estate and coal mining investments are still speculative and risky. The prospects for freely converting yuan and investing it abroad will be highly sought out should the zone offer such opportunities.
One way to prevent large, unregulated movements of money via the FTZ would be to require all cash moving in and out be matched to a government-approved contract, said a Shanghai-based lawyer who spoke on condition of anonymity. If a bank loans money from inside the zone to a company on the outside, the contract would be a record of that movement and potentially prevent hot flows.
Yet with each step the government takes to regulate cash flows, it dampens the prospects for investment in the zone. Beijing will need to take on a high level of risk if it’s going to entice investors to turn its pet project into a functioning reality. Full realization of what the government has promised for the zone will likely lead to massive arbitrage as well as an outpouring of hot cash.
The investment world is waiting for details on the zone. So are arbitragers and investors sitting on piles of cash. When announced, Beijing will show just how much capital it’s willing to let pass through that door. | <urn:uuid:b01367e5-79cc-4cbb-bf24-ed56fa3d5c62> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://chinaeconomicreview.com/shanghai-ftz-hot-money-arbitrage/ | 2020-09-21T16:26:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.955351 | 966 |
Oh, hey there!
It’s me. Don’t you recognize me?
It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
I know, I know, I’ve been much too quiet lately.
Oh? You don’t agree? Has it been a nice break for you?
Well, not for me! I’ve missed you all so.
Life is happening with this old gal, I tell ya. First of all, my computer has been in the shop due to, uh, what is it called, oh yeah, accidental damage from handling. Translation: a cracked screen. One day my camera rolled off the ottoman and landed on top of my closed laptop. I gasped! I quickly picked up my camera, inspected it once, maybe twice, found no damage, and silently told myself that was a close call. Only to find the next day a nice shattered screen and a spider web of cracks on my laptop screen. Fortunately my husband had the good foresight when he purchased the laptop for me in January to buy insurance. I thought it would be a snappy ordeal, but was again dismayed to discover they had to ship off my laptop and it would take 2 weeks. TWO WEEKS! What can a girl do, but wait it out.
In the meantime I’ve been using my phone to stay connected, but blogging on my phone is just no fun, so I’ve just been waiting it out.
But now, we’re together again. How sweet it is.
So since it’s been a while, I’d love to catch you up on what’s been going on with me, but alas, that would take all of 2 seconds. Not much is going on here except I have a precious six month old. I’m not sure if I’ve told you that before or not. Would you like to see a picture?
I know you’ve seen her, but really she’s worth looking at again isn’t she?
You’re smiling aren’t you? I knew it.
And do you love that little get up she’s got on? Well, it’s your lucky day because I have quite a few of them. Actually, I’ve started a little online business and named it after my sweet little inspiration Emma Kate. You can find a sampling of our goodies on Facebook. It’s right here at this address:
Go ahead and hop on over there and like the page, I’d sure appreciate it.
Not too long ago I was reading some of my old blogs from way back and it just made me homesick for the way things used to be. You remember, blogging almost everyday? Attempting to post a blog everyday. I truly love it. It gets under my skin. I need to write like dogs need shade on an August day. It helps me with the ordinary day to day dealings. I’m going to try to do better.
Also, I’m on a diet, but what else is new.
That’s about it for me.
What about you?
How’s life going? | <urn:uuid:b37f6a90-d438-495b-a9bb-bc1a2d628bb9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://chroniclesofarocketsurgeon.com/2012/08/14/howdy-friends/ | 2020-09-21T14:47:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961154 | 682 |

Silver Surfer, Nova, Galactus and Dr. Strange continue on their journey through the inter-dimensional spaceways.Galactus mistreats Nova, which causes her to go off alone. The Silver Surfer follows her.
He asks her what is wrong and they reconcile their past together. She tells the Surfer she does not know if she can be Galactus' herald any longer. She cannot handle being an accomplice to genocide any longer or how Galactus treats her as a servant. The Surfer tells her it took him a long time to make peace with himself over what he had done for Galactus and she must find her own way to make peace with herself. The Nova spots something out the window of the ship.
The ship is under attack. Strange tells them that this realm should be devoid of life. Galactus tells Nova and Surfer to go outside and invistigate. They cannot fly outside or they might be lost forever. They tether themselves to the ship and venture outside.
They are attacked by numerous robotic wolves. They fight them back to back, but the numbers are too great. The Surfer unleashes an incredible destructive attack and destroys them. Fortunately, he does not damage the ship.
They are then met by Khoon, who claims they destroyed many of his servants. He will not kill them though, he wants their ship. | <urn:uuid:8c03474d-f520-4558-9c0c-c334c716e403> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://comicvine.gamespot.com/silver-surfer-68-lost/4000-35957/ | 2020-09-21T15:52:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.975071 | 279 |
Inspired By: Peace Pilgrim
Some people wish for a life of no problems, but I would never wish such a life for any of you. What I wish for you is the great inner strength to solve your problems meaningfully and grow. Problems are learning and growing experiences. A life without problems would be a barren existence, without the opportunity for spiritual growth.
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.
Now there is a living to give instead of to get. As you concentrate on the giving, you discover that just as you cannot receive without giving, so neither can you give without receiving – even the most wonderful things like health and happiness and inner peace. There is a feeling of endless energy – it just never runs out; it seems to be as endless as air. You just seem to be plugged into the source of universal energy. You are now in control of your life.

Christmas Luncheon 2015
In the past our group has enjoyed delicious potluck lunches to celebrate Christmas and to exchange our handmade embroidered Christmas Tree Ornaments. Although our members are very amenable to hosting this event, this year the membership agreed to change up things a bit and go out to a restaurant for our annual Christmas luncheon. It is a very busy time of year and this allowed everyone to be able to visit with each other and ease up on the work of those hosting this event in their homes.
Kelsey’s Restaurant was the venue. We brought our wrapped “Star”, “Angel” or “Tree” handmade ornament. After a great lunch, numbers were drawn and our beautiful ornaments were revealed. Special thanks to Deb and Linda for all their hard work decorating the table and making everything look so festive. The embroidered tablecloths were a wonderful added touch. | <urn:uuid:5c8a62e0-3073-44bf-b1ea-5240ade54ec4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://egpstitch.ca/home/what-we-do/2-uncategorised/46-christmas-luncheon-2015 | 2020-09-21T15:38:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.96778 | 191 |
Last Saturday at my local contra dance, the caller told us there was a real contra dance in Mockingjay Part 2, the last Hunger Games movie, which came out recently. The dance was choreographed by Seth Tepfer of Atlanta and is called Mockingjay Petronella (petronella being a dance figure). We danced it, though most times through we did a modified version which includes a partner swing, since the original dance doesn’t. I can’t remember any dancing in Mockingjay the book, but it’s been a long time since I read it. Now I almost want to see the last movie just for the contra dancing!
Here’s a video from Saturday’s dance.

Reading is my happy place.
I love bookstores, and I love having books in my home, and of course, I love reading books.
When I was little, my parents used to take me to Barnes & Noble in Wilmington once every few weeks; I would grab a pile of books, and I would almost always finish one before we got home. (It was an hour drive back home.)
When I started college, I was too busy to read, but I tried to make time for it when I could. No matter how busy or stressed I was, I always felt 100 times better if I just made time to sink into a book, if only for a little while.
How to read more
A lot of people tell me that they wish they had more time to read or that they could read more of the books they want to read.
I wanted to share a few of my tips for those of you who wanted to read more this year or who want to make it a goal in the future. It CAN be done.
1. Make time for it.
Sounds easy enough, right?
If you schedule time for yourself to read, you are way more likely to remember. Set an alarm, or put it on your calendar.
I set an alarm to get ready for bed an hour earlier than I need to be asleep, so I can spend that extra time reading in bed and winding down for the night. It’s a double win!
2. Don’t go anywhere without a book.
Seriously – always have something to read, and you will be amazed at how much more reading you can do!
At any given time, I have an audiobook, an ebook and a hard copy of a book ready to read at any given moment.
Speaking of audiobooks, I loved How To Get Sh*t Done by Erin Falconer. Here’s my review.
3. If you don’t like what you’re reading, put it down.
This is why I end up reading 7-10 books at a time – I start a book, read a chapter or two and put it down if I’m not into it.
That doesn’t mean I don’t pick it back up, because I do hate to never finish a book, but I don’t force myself to read something that I’m not feeling. That’s how you end up in a reading slump!
Only read the books you are interested by and really enjoying – that will keep you turning pages.
4. Set a goal.
If you didn’t know, I am really goal oriented. Setting a yearly Goodreads goal as well as a daily goal of 30 minutes of reading is huge for me to make sure I make time to read!
I set a goal of 100 books for 2018 (which is a lot, I know!) and aim to read for 30 minutes every day.
Some people like to say they’ll read so many pages every day. Others like the reading challenges that require you to read many different kinds or genres of books. Whatever works for you – if you like goals, set some! | <urn:uuid:07c0e52f-2d95-47e7-b586-58f9c1cb19e1> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://everydaypaigeblog.com/lifestyle/reading-writing/love-books-heres-how-to-read-more-of-them/ | 2020-09-21T15:00:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969979 | 663 |
Just upgraded from 2.5.5 to 2.7 Not a smooth upgrade as it whitescreened - when I turned errors on it gave me this:
Fatal error: Class PT_Fieldtype contains 1 abstract method and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (EE_Fieldtype::display_field) in /home/foobar/public_html/foobar/system/expressionengine/third_party/pt_field_pack/pt_fieldtype.php on line 148
Yes it was still running the old field pack but by then I'd not upgraded any third party modules yet.
I'm still running PHP 5.2.15 incase that matters here. Clues?
edit: I've just rolled back to 2.5.5 (and 2.7 failed again) but I can report that my P&T fieldtypes are 1.0.3 | <urn:uuid:2a443e1a-489d-41b1-acc7-b597fd676f26> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://expressionengine.stackexchange.com/questions/13477/2-7-update-error-with-pt-fieldtype | 2020-09-21T17:00:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.924128 | 187 |
The attached zip file contains the Turbonomic Service Now integration in the form of an XML update package to be loaded into Service Now, together with full installation and setup instructions
You can use Turbonomic Deploy to deploy workloads in your managed environment. With this application, you can use Turbonomic to calculate the best placement of new Virtual Machines (VMs) within your managed IT environment. You can deploy workloads immediately, or reserve space for the workloads to deploy them later.
Turbonomic Deploy sets up communication between your ServieNow deployment and one or more instances of Turbonomic. Your ServiceNow management system discovers entities in your environment such as datacenters, clusters, and VM templates.
Turbonomic also discovers these entities, as well as all the VMs in the datacenters. Turbonomic manages VMs in the context of the full datacenter, taking into account:
The physical hosts, storage (datastores, disk arrays, storage controllers), fabrics, virtual datacenters, and networks that provide resources to the VMs
The applications that are hosted by the VMs.
Turbonomic considers the full range of supply and demand in your environment to calculate the best placement of VMs in your environment.
When it’s time to deploy more VMs in your ServiceNow environment, you can use Turbonomic Deploy to calculate the best placement for those VMs, and then actually deploy the VMs to those locations.
If you want to set up a deployment for a later date, you can use Turbonomic Deploy to calculate the best placement, and then reserve the necessary resources to support that placement. Turbonomic deploys reserved VMs -- placeholders for the VMs you want to deploy. While the reservation is active, Turbonomic continually calculates the best placement for these reserved VMs, and moves them as necessary. Then, when it’s time to deploy, Turbonomic will deploy the actual VMs to the calculated locations.
Virtual Machine Support
Turbonomic Deploy supports deployment of workloads managed by VMware vServer versions 5.5 and 6.0.
Both Turbonomic and ServiceNow perform discovery — scanning your environment for the datacenters and their components that Turbonomic and ServiceNow will manage. Note that both management systems (Turbonomic and ServiceNow) should be configured to discover the same datacenters — This means that they both manage the same environment, including the same hosts, storage, and VMs.
As you perform administration tasks and manage reservations, you will use discovered components. For example, to deploy a set of VMs, you specify a VM template to use — You choose the template you want from a list of discovered VM templates.
This documentation assumes that discovery has been configured correctly by your ServiceNow administrator. Your ServiceNow administrator is responsible for:
Configuring discovery in Service Now
This includes installing and configuring the ServiceNow discovery plugin, and setting up periodic discovery of the managed datacenters. If you want to learn more about discovery in ServiceNow, see the documentation for your version. For example, for information about discovery in Geneva, see Discovery.
Discovery in Turbonomic
Turbonomic connects to VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V management systems to discover associated datacenters. Your administrator should have already configured the Turbonomic REST Hosts that you will use. Before you configure other REST Hosts, you should consult with your administrator to make sure that you use Turbonomic servers that are configured to discover the appropriate datacenters.
For information about Turbonomic target configuration and discovery, please see the Turbonomic Product Documentation.
User Interface Overview
Turbonomic Deploy includes a ServiceNow Update Set that deploys the integration logic, as well as forms that make up a graphical user interface (GUI) for the application. This GUI makes it easy for users to orchestrate VM deployments within the ServiceNow managed environment via Turbonomic Deploy.
Once the update set is installed, enter
Turbonomic in the ServiceNow Navigator search bar. This should display the Turbonomic Deploy menu. If the menu does not appear, contact your ServiceNow administrator to make sure you have access to Turbonomic Deploy.
This documentation describes:
When you want to deploy VMs in your environment, you create a reservation. You can deploy it immediately, or you can reserve the resources for those VMs to deploy them at a later date. This documentation describes how to create a reservation, and how to monitor its status.
To use Turbonomic Deploy, it must be properly installed and set up in your ServiceNow environment. Proper setup includes:
REST Hosts — The administrator sets up one or more connections between an instance of Turbonomic, and a ServiceNow MID Server. This is how you connect Turbonomic to your ServiceNow workflows.
- Constraints — A constraint is a profile that specifies a VM template, the datacenter you will deploy to, and optionally a cluster within that datacenter.
Settings — Parameters that specify polling intervals, reservation timeouts, and deployment timeouts
NOTE: This document does not describe installation — It assumes that you already have a correctly installed instance of Turbonomic Deploy.
We hope this documentation gives you all the information you require to successfully deploy VMs with the Turbonomic Deploy application. If you encounter problems, please contact your ServiceNow administrator. This administrator should have contact with Turbonomic Inc. — If necessary, the administrator can contact Turbonomic to resolve issues.
Turbonomic Deploy uses Intelligent Workload Management to calculate the best placement for new VMs, and then actually deploy them in your environment. The Reservations view gives you the tools to create and manage reservations — You can deploy the requested VMs now or in the future. To deploy VMs in this view, you will:
Create new reservations
Specify the VM Template to use, and how many VMs from the given template that you want to deploy. You also specify information such as when to reserve or deploy, and optional constraints on where to deploy.
View your reservations
You can come to the Reservations view to see the current status of your reservations.
Delete selected reservations
When you delete a pending reservation, that also cancels the reservation in Turbonomic. Note that you must delete pending reservations one-at-a-time.
Click Reservations in the Turbonomic Deploy Menu:
Create a Reservation
To create a reservation, you will provide information about the VMs you want to deploy, when to deploy them, and optional constraints on placement.
Provide a name that describes the reservation.
Note that the reservation name also serves as the name prefix for deployed VMs. For example, assume you deploy three VMs in a reservation named DevServers. The VM names will start with prefixes of DevServers1, DevServers2, and DevServers3.
Turbonomic REST Host
A Turbonomic REST Host establishes a connection between a specific instance of Turbonomic and a MID Server in your ServiceNow deployment. The Turbonomic instance will calculate the placement for your VMs. Your ServiceNow administrator should have already specified one or more REST Hosts that you can use. Click the Search icon () to choose from a list of predefined REST Hosts.
For more information, see REST Hosts.
Number of Virtual Machines
Give the number of VMs that you want to deploy. If your environment has the resources to support those VMs, then Turbonomic will reserve the space for them, and deploy them at the time you choose.
The date that you want Turbonomic to reserve the resources for your VMs. To enable this setting, disable the Deploy Now option.
When you have made a reservation, Turbonomic adds the reserved VMs to your environment and calculates their placement as though they are real VMs. It manages the placement of these reserved VMs along with the placement of actual workload in your environment.
Often you will set the Reservation Date to be today. However, you might know that your IT department will deploy more hardware resources to your environment at some time in the future. In that case, you might want to set the Reservation Date to a time after the hardware upgrade.
The date that you want Turbonomic to deploy your VMs. To enable this setting, disable the Deploy Now option.
While the reservation is active (Succeeded status, but not deployed), the reserved VMs are placeholders in your environment. At the deployment date, Turbonomic uses the reservation’s template to deploy actual VMs to your environment.
When this option is enabled, the reservation date and the deploy date are both set to today. When you click the Submit button, Turbonomic will calculate the placement for the VMs, and then deploy real VMs in your environment.
To set up a reservation that deploys in the future, disable this setting and provide values for Reservation Date and Deploy Date.
Either choose a discovered template, or choose a predefined custom constraint.
By default, the form takes a Virtual Machine Template. Click the Search icon () to choose from a list of discovered VM templates. In this mode, Turbonomic will choose where to place the VMs among all the datacenters and clusters that can host this template. This is often the best choice, because it leaves Turbonomic free to use all your resources in the best possible way.
Your ServiceNow administrator should have already defined any constraints that you need. For more information, see Constraints.
The VM Template
The datacenter to deploy to (optional)
The cluster to deploy to (optional)
After you have made the settings you want, click Submit to create the reservation.
When you navigate to the Reservations view, it shows you a history of the reservations you have made, including the reservation date, deployment date, and status. Note that you can delete entries from this listing, but until you delete it a reservation remains in the list.
Each record in the list includes the following fields:
The reservation name
Number of Virtual Machines
How many VMs you specified for this reservation
The date you want Turbonomic to reserve the resources to host your VMs.
The date you want Turbonomic to create the actual VMs.
The current status for the reservation. The status can be one of:
In Progress: Turbonomic is calculating the placement for your VMs and reserving the necessary resources.
Reservation Succeeded: Turbonomic reserved the resources and is waiting for the Deploy Date so it can deploy the real VMs.
Reservation Unfulfilled: The environment does not have enough resources to reserve space for all the VMs. Turbonomic continually tries to fulfill the reservation. At the deploy date, if the reservation is successful Turbonomic will deploy the workload. If the reservation is still unfulfilled, then Turbonomic cancels the reservation.
Deploying: Turbonomic is actively deploying the VMs in your environment.
Deployment Succeeded— Turbonomic successfully deployed the VMs in your reservation.
Error: The reservation or deployment failed. See the Details field for more information.
If the reservation shows an
Errorstatus, the details show more information about the error. Hover over the Details field to see a tooltip with the full explanation.
Turbonomic Reservation ID
An internal unique ID that Turbonomic uses to track the reservation. The ID appears after the reservation has succeeded.
NOTE: When you delete a reservation, make sure to delete it by clicking the Info button ( ) to display the reservation data, and then clicking Remove. Do not use the Actions on selected rows menu to delete selected reservations. When you delete a reservation, it’s important that Turbonomic Deploy can send a message to Turbonomic — In this way Turbonomic knows to delete the pending reservation from its management process.
Before users can define and execute these deployments and reservations, Turbonomic Deploy must be properly set up. You should perform these tasks only if you have an administrator-level understanding of your ServiceNow managed environment, and of your Turbonomic deployments. These administrative tasks include setting up the connection between ServiceNow and Turbonomic (the REST Host), as well as specifying VM templates that are valid for specific datacenters in your environment. If you don’t have this level of understanding, you should talk to your ServiceNow administrator.
Click REST Hosts in the Turbonomic Deploy Menu:
A Turbonomic REST Host establishes a connection between a specific instance of Turbonomic and a MID Server in your ServiceNow deployment. The Turbonomic server performs the calculations to deploy workloads in your environment. When you create a reservation or execute a deployment of workload, your ServiceNow system will use a Turbonomic REST Host to connect with the Turbonomic server, request analysis, and execute actions.
The Turbonomic instance must already be installed in the same environment as the corresponding MID server. Also, the Turbonomic must already be configured to manage the hypervisors that will host the workload you want to deploy.
NOTE: A REST Host can only have one instance of Turbonomic and one MID Server instance.
To define a REST Host, specify:
A name that identifies this REST Host to your users. You should provide a descriptive name that identifies the purpose or scope of this REST Host.
URL that identifies the domain of the Turbonomic server for this REST Host. Typically, you provide the IP address of the Turbonomic server. Click the padlock icon to open the Endpoint field for editing.
A MID Server that is deployed in your environment. The MID Server facilitates communication between your deployment of ServiceNow and the Turbonomic server. Click the search icon to open a list of available MID Servers.
NOTE: The search results dialog box for MID Servers includes a New button. Do not use New to create a MID Server entry — You should only use MID servers that have been successfully registered and are active in your ServiceNow cloud instance.
Credentials that give ServiceNow access to Turbonomic — ServiceNow can then request Turbonomic to calculate workload placement, create a reservation, and deploy workload. The credentials must be for an Turbonomic account that has administrator or automator privileges.
Authentication Type: Choose Basic
Username/Password: Provide credentials for an administrator or automator account in Turbonomic
Click Constraints in the Turbonomic Deploy Menu:
NOTE: This version of Turbonomic Deploy supports deployment of workloads managed by VMware vServer versions 5.5 and 6.0. Your constraints can include corresponding VM templates.
A constraint is a preset profile that you can use to deploy a certain type of workload. For example, assume that you always want to deploy the same kind of VM to host applications used by the HR department. You can specify a constraint named “HR” and then always use that constraint when you deploy VMs to HR.
Each constraint must contain a VM template. Optionally, a constraint can specify a certain datacenter or cluster — This limits the VM placement to the specified datacenter or cluster. For example, assume you want the same VM template for HR and Payroll deployments, but each department is limited to its own host cluster. You can specify two constraints that use the same template, but specify different cluster as appropriate.
It’s very important that you choose a datacenter that’s valid for the template, and a cluster that’s valid for the datacenter. If you choose invalid datacenters or clusters, any attempt to deploy with this constraint will fail.
To choose a valid datacenter, first chose a discovered template. After you choose the template the INFORMATION icon appears next to the Template field. Click that icon to see the template’s discovered data. The data includes a list of valid datacenters — When you choose the datacenter to use, make sure it’s a datacenter that’s listed in the discovered data for your template.
Similarly, you can see the datacenter information to determine which clusters are valid.
To create a new constraint, specify:
Provide a name that describes the purpose or scope of this constraint.
Virtual Machine Template
The template that describes the VMs that you will deploy via this constraint. Choose from the list of discovered templates.
If you do not specify a datacenter or cluster, Turbonomic can deploy the VMs to any datacenter that contains the template. Turbonomic will calculate the best VM locations among these datacenters, and deploy your workload there. This is often the best option, because it takes the fullest advantage of all the resources in your environment.
If you want to limit a deployment to a specific datacenter, choose from the list of discovered datacenters.
To deploy successfully, you must choose a datacenter that contains the template. View the template information to see which datacenters are valid.
If you want to limit a deployment to a specific cluster, choose from the list of discovered clusters.
To deploy successfully, you must choose a cluster that is contained by the datacenter. View the datacenter information to see which clusters are valid.
NOTE: Each search results dialog box for Templates, Datacenters, and Clusters includes a New button. Do not use New to create entries — You should only use items that have been discovered by ServiceNow.
Click Settings in the Turbonomic Deploy Menu:
Use these settings to specify polling and timeout intervals in seconds:
- Polling Interval
How often Turbonomic Deploy polls the specified REST Host(s). Polling checks the status of a reservation while it’s in a state of
in progress. The default is 10 seconds.
- Reservation Timeout
The maximum time to allow for a reservation to succeed. The default is one hour (3,600 seconds).
When you create a reservation, the REST Host performs calculations to determine the best placement for the given workload. This can take a significant amount of time, but it should not take longer than an hour. If the reservation is in the state of in progress for more than an hour, Turbonomic Deploy cancels the request and shows a Failed state for the reservation.
- Deployment Timeout
The maximum time to allow for a deployment to succeed. The default is one hour (3,600 seconds).
When you deploy workload, the REST Host interacts with the underlying hypervisors to deploy the VMs to the calculated hosts. This can take a significant amount of time, but it should not take longer than an hour. If the deployment is in the state of in progress for more than an hour, Turbonomic Deploy cancels the request and shows a Failed state for the deployment. | <urn:uuid:5c726037-1582-445a-93ec-f56a48f8c3ba> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://greencircle.vmturbo.com/docs/DOC-3265-using-the-turbonomic-deploy-application-for-servicenow | 2020-09-21T16:27:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.865967 | 3,947 |

The theme of morality and attractiveness because
The Picture of Dorian Dreary demonstrates a divide between aestheticism and morality that Oscars Schwanzgeile depicts by giving each personality a very particular persona that either difficulties or indulges in the wrong vices of life. This is certainly all while Dorian remains to be paralyzed between two very different ideologies. The Freudian idea that inside us all can be described as split between ID, The Super Spirit and the Spirit, an internal battle among three distinct mindsets, turns into increasingly obvious as the novel advances and features this battle within the mind. Dorian struggles to find an sense of balance between these three subconsciouses, he seems as though this individual needs to conform and become a hedonistic aesthete like God Henry, or perhaps lead a life that coincides together with the moral idealism Basil represents. If presented the opportunity to evaluate The Picture Of Dorian Grey, Sigmund Freud would more than likely interpret it as an illustration showing how his device of understanding human behavior plays in literature. Charles Darwin will most likely admit Dorian fails to maintain this kind of crucial yin yang balance between aestheticism and morality and undoubtedly gives in his primitive animalistic instincts. These biologically programmed urges that Dorian acts after in effect can best be referred to in the perspective of Darwin, English naturalist and geologist, best known for his ground breaking work in major theory (Desmond). It’s imaginable to imagine art essenti, Walter Pater, had a profound impact on Schwule during their collegiate years that may have potentially influenced his quote in De Profundis, where he states that Pater’s work is that book which has had these kinds of a strange influence over my entire life. ” (Michael, 1) (Schroeder, 1) Simply by analyzing the ideologies of these brilliant intellectuals to not only highlight, but to demonstrate the commonalities between Darwin’s major theory, Freud’s perspective upon subconscious individual behavior, and Pater’s idiosyncrasy of observing art subjectively ” every which enjoy a crucial position in understanding Oscar Wilde’s Picture Of Dorian Gray.

Charle’s Darwin set off on an endeavor which usually lead to a discovery that changed the way we understood the origin of humanity. Once in my life in history there was clearly a logical explanation for our existence on the planet and it’s unparalleled diversity that before could only be the result of means of religious beliefs or the environment. This idea and theory that the origins of varieties could be the result of science was considered wrong and noncontemporary. If Darwin hadnt commenced intricate research in 1838 which result in the newsletter of The Beginning of Species, we would not be able to fully comprehend the inner workings of Dorian Gray’s mind, Darwin’s theories illustrate how from a preprogrammed biological instinctual level, the hedonistic malevolent tendencies this individual displays are innate and unavoidable. (Darwin Manuscripts, 1) The character Dorian Gray is an example how these traits can take in an individual rendering them reliant and struggling to fight primal urges.
Prior to the beginning of Charle’s Darwin’s Beginning Of Varieties, even the world’s brightest experts attributed variations in species to purely environmental factors, such as just how readily available their very own food supply was, or the local climate in which the kinds in question grew up. Darwin rejects this idea dismantling this kind of narrow oriented philosophy allegedly backed by research and shows that there’s a lot more to this thought of evolution, specifically these predatory instincts that are preprogrammed within all of us to seek out a mate together with the most favorable traits in order to have ideal chance in having offspring that truly does well in lifestyle. In a process Darwin gold coins conscious assortment, a breeder selects the dog with the many desirable attributes like eccentric physical splendor and qualities that would help in the overall everlasting survival of that species. Most species, even human beings, happen to be subject to this subconscious procedure called subconscious selection. Put simply, we is going to instinctually work hedonistically, desire materialistic pleasantries, and convey vanity since our central focus when considering down who also we choose to procreate with, in Dorian’s defense, is actually in our nature to act on this principle of aestheticism and place decadence at the utmost worth. (Darwin, 1-13) Darwin displays that even without the influence of breeders, it’s demonstrated that family pets will instinctually fight to obtain the mate with all the most interesting outward appearance and traits necessary to the endurance of it can species. (Darwin, 4-13)
After taking Darwin’s philosophy into consideration, a different point of view of the inner workings lurking behind the mind of Dorian Gray is consequently formed. The very fact that he chooses to live immorally and place beauty in such large esteem could be considered a result of these internal biological tendencies he’s not able to control. As being a society nowadays, we see types of this hedonistic shallow behavior everywhere functioning as really become inner woven within humanities’ social, and natural fabric. For instance take the modeling industry into mind, society is likely to value outward appearance as one of the most important aspects of your life. Girl’s develop up viewing tabloids with scantly dressed quintessential centerfold models with bodies and faces which might be typically out of reach and inaccessible, out of stock to the vast majority of the populace. This ends in this desire to be beautiful since being actually attractive will get persons what they want in every area of your life and biologically speaking, offers them the very best opportunity of getting the most desirable mate. From Dorian’s perspective, his presence is the a very important factor he aren’t imagine living without, this kind of inevitably contributes to his demise in a way. To be honest, animals constantly act in this manner, they mindlessly act on these kinds of impulses mainly because it’s inside their nature, individuals on the other hand have intellectual capability that enables those to consider elements aside from only appearance and qualities that might result in the most promising children. We take many other characteristics into consideration because wish human, not animals. Dorian’s inability to behave in this manner is mainly due to God Henry’s impacts and his own mindlessness, this kind of paints him as somebody who is operating solely on his animalistic primal instincts. Darwin might consider people that behave like Lord Henry and Dorian Gray to get more simple and less progressed than the most the human competition that has the ability to think subjectively about one more human being all together, not just their particular physical appearance. Simply by thoroughly examining The Origin Of Species simply by Darwin, wish enlightened by scientific specifics that can clarify why Dorian acts in the manner he will from a biological evolutionary standpoint. To extent, his behavior is a consequence of these inborn biological tendencies we show to every other varieties on earth. (Wilde)
Sigmund Freud, a world renowned neurologist, devised a system which allows us to illustrate human being tendencies simply by separating whatever we conceive as the human intelligence into a few separate drives. Essentially the result of this was 3 personality types, namely the id, the ego as well as the superego. “The id is a agency of bodily desires, the spirit the mediating function, and the super-ego has the care of ethical prohibitions. ” (Rieff, 173) The ego is often considered as the executive branch of our personalities because contrary to the IDENTITY and the Very Ego, by using reasoning to weigh it’s options and come to a appropriate summary of what to do in the particular situation by simply envisioning the moral ramifications of ‘it’s’ actions, yet also what feels good and it is best for all of them. The ID prefers to live hedonistically, it can based exclusively on the enjoyment principle and prefers to do something about impulse with no reason regardless of whom that they hurt at the same time, if they happen to the actual morally satisfactory thing it was most likely by accident. The superego is another extreme and essentially the antithesis from the ID simply because it’s usually derived by prevalent conservative religious beliefs based on beliefs we acquire during the upbringing as children. As an example, it weighs about the religious implications, exactly what is morally right, as well as can be socially acceptable. (McLeod, 1)
With Freud’s ideology in mind we commence notice correlations between the personas in A Picture of Dorian Gray and these 3 diverse visible personality types. Essentially the story illustrates precisely what Freud continues to be saying most along in an easy to understand fashion because every character symbolizes a specific segment of the subconscious. By understanding this relationship we come to conditions with a better overall knowledge of the novel in is actually entirety and specifically Dorian himself. Head of the family Henry can be undoubtably Wilde’s attempt to build a literal portrayal of this IDENTITY personality type which this individual demonstrates through this quotation “If a single man would be to live out his life completely and completely, were to give form to each feeling, appearance to every believed, reality to each dream ” I believe the fact that world will gain such a fresh impulse of delight that we might forget each of the maladies of medievalism, and return to the Hellenic ideal” (Wilde, 19) Lord Henry is constantly working to corrupt Dorian and cajole him in to living a life of hedonistic decadence that this individual prefers to business lead. He thinks that in every area of your life it’s always far better to do precisely self-beneficial, not necessarily what’s proper. Lord Henry changes and shapes Dorian’s ideology until he will no longer believes morality even leads to life until it’s too late. By endorsing this concept of always residing in a self-centered hedonistic fashion that disregards morality, he’s essentially defeat by the IDENTITY portion of his personality and exemplifies Freud’s theory. Furthermore you have Basil and his infatuation with Dorian Gray, he represents the super spirit because he really wants Dorian to remain this clean natural uncorrupted business. To basil, Dorian is essentially a work of art practically and metaphorically, he thinks that it’s his duty to maintain Dorian’s chasteness that Head of the family Henry is consistently trying to clear him of. (McLeod, 1)
How Dorian comes into play through essentially getting Freud’s idea of what the ego represents. Dorian is perpetually faced with meaningful dilemmas and he’s required to weigh the advantages and implications of living one way or another. Very much like how Freud depicts the Ego as this force that lies between the Super Spirit and the IDENTITY, Dorian is constantly being taken in two opposing paths. One direction being Lord Henry and his hedonistic ideology that relies largely on this ‘ID-like’ principle. Another is Tulsi attempting to support him live a morally conscious way of life that coincides with the Super Ego. Much like a satan on his make, eventually God Henry’s impact on Dorian comes to a head when he finds Sibyl entirely unfavorable after her performance onstage wasn’t about his specifications. He started to be infatuated with all the art she created and did truly love her for her, if he finds out the lady committed suicide, he moves on like organization is typical is a cool callous manner giving into carnal pleasantries and living hedonistically. By simply understanding this basic Freudian theory, we see the novel in an completely different lumination since it will highlight all these themes that before were apparent nevertheless weren’t because comprehensible with no concrete understanding on how these types of subconscious pushes come into enjoy to effect human behavior. We can now see that essentially Dorian Dreary is a literal representation of freud’s Ego concept.
So far we have come very much closer to attaining a well-rounded perspective with the inner operation of Dorian Gray’s psyche by considering his simple instincts by using Charles Darwin’s theories of natural variety in The Beginning of Types. We can determine that more generally than not really Dorian acted upon his earthy carnal wants and placed an extremely high value on outlook. Furthermore, Freud’s theories of the three principles: ID, Extremely Ego, and Ego were known to run seite an seite with how Lord Henry, Basil, and Dorian him self truly need treatment on a subconscious level. Next we’ll delve into Walt Pater’s ideology and the work ins he previously with Oscar Wilde him self. By focusing on how Pater basically understood art and it’s natural beauty, we come closer to learning the Picture of Dorian Greyish as a whole.
The year 1877 could have very well been a turning in justification in Oscar Wilde’s development as a writer, when attending Magdalen College, he met Walter Pater. Pater’s work was rumored to be sought after by simply Oscar Schwule himself, they’d meet for tea, exchange ideas, and present each other folks pointers every others work. While there isn’t a essentially simply no objective truth in how we define beauty, critics with the era would attempt to know the abstractness of splendor and explain it inside the most common terms likely without the addition of personal preference or feelings. Beauty and just how we translate it tends to be subjective, in other words, how your interpret artwork and the sense it invokes is dependent in who you are and where your values sit. Walter Pater for instance positioned aestheticism at high worth however he had this knack and capability that allowed him not to discriminate between what is regarded as beauty and what isn’t. (The Renaissance: Studies in Art and Poetry, 1)
The reason why understanding Pater’s philosophy is so essential to understanding The Photo of Dorian Gray is that fact that Wilde didn’t basically intend for it to be seen as a novel that centered solely in decadence or what happens when this concept is definitely abused. In the preface from the novel Schwanzgeile even says, “There’s none in the world as a ethical or immoral book. Books are well written or badly written. That is certainly all. ” This idea Wilde illustrates runs parallel with the ideology of Pater. As a whole that suggests that it’s simply the reader himself which includes the ability to think subjectively that considers the novel to either always be entirely immoral or not ” it’s open to model, and that’s truly what Schwanzgeile intended every along. (The Picture of Dorian Dreary: Art, Integrity and the Artist, 1)
By simply examining Pater’s philosophy and comparing that to what we realize about Oscar Wilde, you start to see this kind of connection that inevitably contributes to this notion that Pater was a vital element in Wilde’s life that influenced the development of The Picture of Dorian Dreary during the Aesthetic movement. Although it’s said they wouldn’t particularly consider each other good friends, this exchange of dialogue in an interview further backs this claim that Pater had an influence upon Oscar Schwanzgeile:
Pater disliked Wilde personally while appreciating his cleverness, in turn Schwule said, Dear Pater was always frightened of my own propaganda (Ellmann, 81).
This declaration that signifies Pater disliked Oscar Schwule as a person, but adored his cleverness in the form of fine art, this enables us to bring another connection between Pater’s philosophy and Dorian Dreary in the story. Namely in which Dorian turns into infatuated by simply Sybil’s art form on stage although at the end when needed, his a reaction to her fatality proves that he under no circumstances truly looked after her as a person, simply her capacity to create magnificence through this visual artistic art form. Since it seems that Pater’s ideology not only influenced the way in which Oscar Schwule perceived this distinction among art and morality but also built it’s way into the mind of Dorian Grey, we all begin to acquire a much more very clear and to the point understanding of The Picture of Dorian Grey in it’s whole. (The Photo of Dorian Gray: Fine art, Ethics and the Artist, 1)
Furthermore, really reasonable to make the assumption that Pater’s ideology made its way into the Lord Henry’s outlook for the world. Pater says that:
“It will not matter what is said as long as it is known beautifully”
One particular again you can see this relationship between stereotypical Pater-like values and God Henry being a character. Seeing that Lord Holly as a persona tends to include this opinion system valuing the beauty of every thing around him ” particularly however , it’s the most important facet of his lifestyle. Much just like how Pater demonstrates that he it certainly is not important precisely on the inside, probably it’s only our outward appearance. A paradox emerges right here, although Pater’s ideology frequently sees beauty as being subjective based on meaning, he continue to seems rather vain and considers natural beauty to be the most critical aspect of any form of artwork without considering elements, this is innately why In my opinion that understanding Pater’s ideology assists in the overall understanding of The Picture of Dorian Greyish. His influence throughout the new is concluyente as noticed through not merely the way Schwule wrote, yet how Dorian and Head of the family Henry developed as personas. (Levey, 1)
By examining the ideologies of scientifically minded naturalist Charles Darwin, the earth renowned psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, as well as the aesthete Walter Pater, we gain an entirely fresh perspective and understanding of The Picture Of Dorian Gray. All of a sudden the true intentions of the heroes and the personality that they symbolize becomes rather clear and concise, whether it is the way Charles Darwin’s finding lead to this concept of organic selection that states that individuals instinctually worth beauty which the novel represents, Freud’s capability to divide the consciousness in to 3 distinct parts that tend to match with the three distinct personas in the new, or Pater’s effect on Schwanzgeile which arguably lead to the creation of not only Wilde’s ideology, although also the characters in the novel ” all of which result in a better comprehension of the Picture Of Dorian Gray and the message Oscar Wilde intended to show to the world. | <urn:uuid:0cd9321f-b014-443f-bece-176f4a064443> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://mabuty.com/the-theme-of-morality-and-attractiveness-because/ | 2020-09-21T15:26:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.953905 | 3,917 |

Top 73 Traditional Swallow Tattoo Ideas – [2020 Inspiration Guide]
Old school swallow tattoos done in a traditional style have long been an incredibly popular choice for sailors and tattoo enthusiasts alike.
For better or worse, gone are the days where one had to earn their nautical tattoos at sea.
Back in the day, a sailor had to cross 5000 miles of ocean to earn a swallow tattoo. Wearing tattoos seen by other sailors as badges of honor without having earned that honor could result in scorn or even a brawl. Now, these tattoos are as accessible as the nearest ink shop.
Though a far more commonplace sight today, and no longer restricted to decorating the skin of gritty mariners, the meaning behind a swallow tattoo is no less special to those who wear them for their decorative appeal. The image of a swallow still stands for loyalty, protection, seeking home, and ultimately, it symbolizes love. Old-school sailors will tell you that seafaring lore promises a swallow tattoo would even help lift a sailor to the heavens should he perish at sea. This was a sure comfort to those working this perilous trade.
Today, the swallow is a common feature of nautical themed sleeves and back pieces, as well as being a strong standalone tattoo. While any style can be applied, there is something timeless and beautiful about a boldly outlined traditional swallow tattoo inked in simple colors or shaded in black and gray.
1. American Traditional Swallow Tattoos
Sailor Jerry (aka Norman Collins) was the highest profile pioneer of American Traditional tattooing. More than a master of the craft, Sailor Jerry was the inventor and innovator of the American Traditional style we know and love today.
Sailor Jerry responsible for popularizing ancient symbols as modern, iconic tattoos. Swallow tattoos were one of his signature designs. Seen as flash all over the country, you’ll likely be able to recognize the piece on sight. Thick black outlines, limited color palette of a red breast and yellow or blue feathers, two swallows with each carrying a leafy twig.
2. Small Swallow Tattoos
Small tattoos are great for ink enthusiasts that want ink in unusual or hidden locations, or are simply running out of canvas for their body art. Since swallows are rarely depicted via realism, they make great small tattoos. Because American Traditional has such bold outlines and limited detail it shrinks down to scale really well as a style. Silhouettes also do a great job when used to represent swallows.
Small tattoos are also great for saving time and money. Not everyone has the resources or inclination to spend dozens of hours in the tattoo artists chair. And not everyone wants a big, complex piece. You may want something simple to represent your feelings and a small swallow tattoo is perfect for that.
3. Swallow and Dagger Tattoos
Since time immemorial men have been sharpening things and pointing them at each other. The dagger holds a special place of fascination for most of us. A symbol of stealth, danger, and protection all in one. It’s the power of the dagger as a symbol that makes it such a good choice for a tattoo.
On its own the dagger is a fighting weapon. Easily concealed and carried but very hard to use without intestinal fortitude. You either have to be brave enough to go face to face, or bold enough to get up close and personal with your enemy and deal the bloody damage with your own hand. The meaning of course changes with the symbols its paired with. The dagger and swallow tattoo represents good luck, wealth and a safe passage home. The combination of nautical themed imagery with weaponry makes for a rather pirate-y tattoo.
4. Swallow Chest Tattoos
The chest is the absolute go-to area for large, symmetrical pieces. Given the two-part nature of the front of man (two pecs as opposed to one) the chest is a great place to experiment with twin images. That makes it particularly well suited to swallow tattoos. One on each pec with a heart in between is a powerful symbol of commitment, love and monogamy.
Because swallow tattoos go hand in hand with American Traditional style the chest can be used to make a serious combination of imagery. A swallow either side with their own banner can say various things or even names. And they can round out the centerpiece nicely (usually roses, a compass or a heart). If you’re wanting to make a serious statement with your ink you could do a lot worse than a swallow chest tattoo.
5. Hand Swallow Tattoos
A hand tattoo is a serious statement of who you are. You’re almost certainly marrying yourself into that old school sailor or bad boy image. You can’t hide your counterculture statement when it’s on your hand. There’s just no way to keep your gloves on through the whole job interview.
So, hand placement is a real commitment to standing tall and being real in all circumstances. That said the swallow is one of the most visually appealing and least offensive pieces you could choose. As the world becomes more open minded towards visible ink a hand swallow tattoo is a pretty good choice.
6. Twin Swallow Tattoos
Every year swallows return to the same place to mate and nest. And every year they will couple up and stay monogamous and committed to their little swallow partners for the duration of the mating season. Twin swallow tattoos is a great way to represent true love, twin flames or soul mates. It’s a little sentimental but gosh darn it still looks good.
There’s a wide variety of options for placement with twin swallows. The mirror image works well on either shoulder, arm or leg. As a smaller piece it can work on the bicep or forearm. Sometimes as a mirror or alternatively as two swallows flying together.
7. Black and Gray Swallow Tattoos
A black and gray swallow tattoo is a great way to break from the nigh ubiquitous American Traditional style. There is absolutely no reason why your swallow tattoo need look like all the rest.
Black and grey is perfect for a more realistic looking depiction. Small tattoos and silhouettes also work well. Black and grey adds that little extra bit of seriousness too if you’re looking for a more solemn artwork.
8. Mom Swallow Tattoos
Would you like to pay homage to your mother like a World War II sailor would? Then you won’t be able to go past a stylish American Traditional swallow tattoo.
If your beloved matriarch has passed on, then this is the perfect tattoo to honor her: the swallow always returns home. Plus, you want to get something nice for your mother. A swallow tattoo with a mom banner is both masculine and sentimental. Just what moms everywhere appreciate.
Swallow Tattoo FAQs
What does a swallow tattoo symbolize?
Swallow tattoos are inextricably linked with sailors and the sea. A swallow tattoo used to symbolize that a sailor had travelled 5000 nautical miles and was a badge of honor. The little bird came to its place of prestige amongst sailors due to the fact that sighting one meant land was near: you were almost at your destination. Swallows also represent the return of Spring and as such are linked with renewal, hope, growth and the start of a new chapter.
Outside of its nautical connections, swallows are known to be monogamous during mating season. Thus swallow tattoos sometimes are there to symbolize love, devotion and loyalty. Similarly swallows always return to the same location every year to mate and nest. A swallow tattoo symbolizes that you will always return home safely.
What is the difference between swallow and sparrow tattoos?
Visually the difference is immediately apparent. Swallows are streamlined little flying machines with bright coloring. Sparrows are more rounded and stocky with brown plumage. In terms of meaning and symbolism the sparrow is still an auspicious omen but has no connection to nautical history. It is not quite as widely or richly admired as the swallow.

“We will build gleaming new roads, bridges, highways, railways, and waterways all across our land. And we will do it with American heart, and American hands, and American grit.” – President Donald J. Trump
REBUILDING AMERICAN INFRASTRUCTURE: President Donald J. Trump is in Ohio to discuss his proposal for rebuilding infrastructure in America.
- Today, President Trump is speaking with Ohio workers about how his infrastructure proposal will help rebuild and modernize America’s infrastructure and build a stronger American workforce for the future.
- The President’s proposal includes $200 billion in Federal funds to spur at least $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investments across America.
- $100 billion will be directed to an Incentives Program to generate additional investment from States, localities, and the private sector.
- $50 billion will be devoted to rebuilding and modernizing rural infrastructure.
- $20 billion will go to promoting bold, transformative infrastructure projects.
- $20 billion will go to expanding infrastructure financing programs.
- $10 billion will go to a capital revolving fund to help reduce inefficient Federal property leasing that would be more cost-effective to purchase.
- President Trump’s proposal will return infrastructure decision-making to States and localities, allowing them to invest in the specific needs of their communities.
- The proposal will get Washington out of the way of needed infrastructure improvements by eliminating regulatory barriers and streamlining permitting processes.
- A “one agency, one decision” structure will be established for environmental reviews and the process will be shortened to two years.
- More flexibility will be given to projects that have minimal Federal funding but currently must seek Federal review and approval.
INVESTING IN AMERICAN WORKERS: The President’s proposal will help better prepare American workers for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
- President Trump’s proposal for rebuilding infrastructure in America will help give more American workers access to education and workforce-development programs by:
- Expanding Pell Grant eligibility to high-quality short-term programs.
- Better distributing Federal Work Study program funds to ensure more students gain relevant workplace experience.
- Reforming the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education (CTE) program so that more funds go to programs which meet local workforce needs.
- The President is appearing at a training site for International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local 18’s apprenticeship and training program.
- IUOE Local 18’s training and apprenticeship program is one of the largest IUOE training programs in the country, serving over 15,000 members.
- The program offers a range of opportunities for workers to develop and improve the skills they need to succeed in their fields.
- Classes offered by the program provide workers with training in operating industry machinery, including bulldozers, forklifts, cranes, backhoes, and more.
- Skills-training and apprenticeship programs like IUOE Local 18’s are critical resources that help prepare workers for high-demand, well-paying jobs.
- More than 90 percent of all apprenticeship program participants gain employment after completing their programs according to data from the Department of Labor.
- Too many American workers have been unable to fill well-paying jobs due to insufficient access to skills-training programs.
- There are currently 250,000 job openings in the construction industry and 305,000 in transportation, warehousing, and utilities.
- According to a 2014 study by Georgetown University, just under two-thirds of all jobs will require some form of training or education beyond high school by 2020.
CONTINUING TO REBUILD THE AMERICAN ECONOMY: President Trump’s infrastructure proposal will build upon the success his Administration has already had in strengthening the American economy.
- President Trump’s proposal to leverage $200 billion in Federal funds to spur at least $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investments will help further strengthen the American economy.
- The Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) estimates that a 10-year $1.5 trillion infrastructure investment program could boost annual average gross domestic product (GDP) growth by between 0.1 and 0.2 percentage points.
- CEA estimates that a $1.5 trillion in infrastructure investments would employ between 290,000 and 414,000 additional infrastructure workers on average over ten years.
- The economic benefits of President Trump’s infrastructure proposal will build upon the gains the economy has already seen under this Administration.
- This week, United States GDP growth for the fourth quarter of 2017 was revised up from 2.5 percent to 2.9 percent, beating expectations.
- Nearly 2.5 million jobs have been created since President Trump took office, including 245,000 manufacturing jobs and 300,000 construction jobs.
- The unemployment rate has remained at a 17-year low since October of last year. | <urn:uuid:cff14f71-06ca-4c91-9acf-76e053123e3a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ohiogop.org/president-trump-in-richfield-ohio-rebuilding-american-infrastructure/ | 2020-09-21T16:52:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.937212 | 1,021 |

STRENGTHEN YOUR KNEESWITH PHYSICAL THERAPY INSIDE: • How Can Physical Therapy Help? • Exercise Essentials • Patient Success Spotlight • Healthy Recipe • Why is Warming Up Before Exercise So Important? NEWSLETTER
Whether you have knee pain or have been suffering for a long time, seeing a physical therapist at ReQuest Physical Therapy can help you return to a more active and pain-free life. Give us a call today:
Do you experience pain with squatting, prolonged sitting, or climbing stairs? Are you living with persistent pain, swelling, or mechanical symptoms, such as catching and locking? Do your knees make it difficult to perform daily tasks that once seemed simple? If so, ReQuest Physical Therapy can help you find relief. Knee pain can be debilitating, making it difficult to walk, run, and move. It may even hinder your ability to do some of the activities you love. Fortunately, our physical therapy treatments at ReQuest Physical Therapy can get youmoving once again by relieving your pain and enhancing your body’s natural healing process. What are some common knee injuries? Your knee is one of the largest joints in your body, made up of a complex system of bones, tendons, and ligaments. Because of this, the knee can be easily injured due to overexertion or repetitive motions. Some common knee injuries include: • Arthritis. The most common type of arthritis for knee pain is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis occurs when the cartilage surrounding your joints deteriorates from “wear and tear.” This causes uncomfortable friction as the joint no longer has a sufficient cushion between the bone. Rheumatoid arthritis is another common cause of knee pain. This is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the joints to become swollen and inflamed, with varying levels of severity. • Fracture. A fracture occurs when one of the bones in the knee (including the kneecap, or patella) become damaged. Fractures are typically the result of some type of trauma, such as a harsh fall or collision.

• Torn ACL. An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear occurs when one of the ligaments connecting your shinbone to your thighbone becomes torn. This is a common injury for athletes who participate in sports that are physically-demanding on the knees, such as basketball, track and field, or soccer. • Torn meniscus. The job of the meniscus is to act as a shock absorber between the shinbone and thighbone. It is made up of thick cartilage, but it can be torn if your knee twists too suddenly while weight is still being put on it. • Patellar tendinitis. Your tendons are thick connective tissues that attach muscles to bones. Tendinitis occurs when one or multiple tendons become inflamed. The patellar tendon, located in the knee, typically becomes inflamed through repetitive jumping motions common in sports such as skiing, cycling, or hurdling. • Knee bursitis. Bursae are small fluid sacs that act as cushions outside of your joints. Knee bursitis occurs when the bursae in your knee becomes inflamed, limiting the ability for your tendons and ligaments to move smoothly over the joint.

HOWCAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP?
Our licensed physical therapists at ReQuest Physical Therapy will examine your knee for signs of misalignment or structural damage, in addition to examining your stance, posture, gait, and range of motion. After your physical exam is complete, your physical therapist will prescribe a physical therapy plan for you, aimed at relieving unnatural stresses and strains, and normalizing your joint function. Treatment plans for knee pain typically include: • Activity modification and manual therapy to allow for appropriate off loading and healing. This may include joint/soft tissue mobilization, custom foot orthotics, over-the-counter bracing, or kinesio taping in the short term, in order to reduce symptoms and open a window to symptom-limited exercise. • Graded strength, dynamic stability, and capacity training targeting the quads, glutes, hamstrings, foot/ankle complex, and core. Strength training of the quads and glutes has been shown to be highly effective with regard to reduction of pain, and it mitigates the risk of recurrence/flare ups in the future. • Restoring range of motion in the knee. A knee with poor range of motion that is constantly flexed can cause persistent painful symptoms. Restoring range of motion will help it bend easier and ease stress on the knee, thus relieving pain. • Graded exposure to previously painful activities, as gains in strength, tolerance, and capacity allow. • Education regarding activity modification and the role of the nervous system in pain. What can I do on my own to keep my knees healthy? While physical therapy is the most effective form of treatment if you are currently experiencing knee pain, there are some precautions you can take to lower your risk of developing unwanted knee pain and injuries altogether: 1. Stretch your hamstrings, quadriceps, and adductor muscles each day. By keeping these muscles flexible, the forces on your knee joints stay balanced, which allows you to bend and rotate the knee.
2. Keep the muscles around your hips and knees strong, especially the gluteal and quadricep muscles. Studies show that adults (especially those 55 or older) who have stronger gluteal and quadricep muscles tend to have less back pain and a greater ability to perform daily activities. 3. Exercise regularly. While this is good for the whole body, the knees especially need exercise to keep their cartilage healthy. The cartilage does not have much blood supply and requires its nutrition from joint fluid. Most of the joint fluid absorbs into the cartilage only through movement and compression of the knee. Therefore, it is important to do weight bearing exercises, such as walking, running, or playing a sport. However, if you have arthritis, it is advised that you do activities with less of an impact, such as biking, elliptical machines, or aquatic exercises. Contact us today! Are you living with knee pain? If so, don’t hesitate to contact ReQuest Physical Therapy today. We’ll help relieve your pain so you can get back to living your life comfortably, without limitations!

WHY IS WARMING UP BEFORE EXERCISE SO IMPORTANT?
Whether you’re a weekend warrior or dedicated athlete, warming up before participating in any form of physical activity is extremely important. We always hear about the crucial aspect of proper warm-ups, but why exactly are they so crucial? Well, the truth is that while it may not seem like it at the time, warming up the body before engaging in exercise of any sort can pose several benefits. If you are a fitness enthusiast who is looking to enhance their warm-up routine, contact ReQuest Physical Therapy today. The importance of proper warm-ups. Stretching and proper warm-ups before exercise are arguably most important in helping your body avoid injury. As an athlete, we understand that one of your primary goals is staying healthy so you can participate in your sport or exercise of choice. Our physical therapists at ReQuest Physical Therapy can teach you warm up routines that utilize light weights, resistance bands, or targeted stretches to get your body ready for physical activity. Some light cardio can also be beneficial in your warm-up routine, as the goal is to have your muscles warm and loosened up. When this happens, your muscle cells become oxygenated and ready to work. A physical therapist can guide and assist you in perfecting your warm-up routine, similar to a personal trainer. Maintaining proper form during your warm-ups is just as important as maintaining it during your main exercise, and is one of the main keys to avoiding injury. Your physical therapist will analyze your form to make sure you’re doing everything correctly in order to maximize results during your workout and help you get the most out of it. Warming up can make all the difference for those who are aging and active. As we age, our bodies simply aren’t as limber as they used to be – putting us at risk for exercise-related injuries. Proper warm-ups are a great resource for those who still want to remain active but may be prone to injuries or at a higher risk of developing injuries. A physical therapist can help you figure out where your problem areas are, so you can perform the correct warm-up routine for your needs. A routine that consists of a combination of exercises, stretches, and pain-relieving
techniques that target areas where injuries are likely to occur is one of the best ways to avoid injury in the aging and active adult. Additionally, your physical therapist can also help you target poor techniques and correct them. They will focus more on the areas of your body that are repeatedly stressed and overused by your sport or exercise, thus determining your likelihood of injury and suggesting the best warm-up techniques for keeping you safe during physical activity. Additional benefits of warming up before exercise. While injury prevention is the main benefit, there are many ways that warming up helps your body. Some additional benefits include: • Reducing muscle tension. When your body isn’t warmed up, it becomes tense and tight. Tense and tight muscles have restricted blood flow and may not activate as effectively. Stretching and light exercises before a workout helps to alleviate this tension and help muscles expand and contract more efficiently. • Increasing range of motion in your joints. Joints that move better, work better! Warming up helps your joints move fluidly and throughout their full range of motion. This improves movement efficiency and function, which means better performance. • Improving circulation. In addition to improving muscle mechanics, the enhanced circulation that warm-ups bring can also accelerate the recovery of painful areas, reduce post-workout soreness, and increase your energy levels. • Helping with stress relief. There’s a strong link between physical tension and mental tension. By alleviating physical tension with a consistent warm- up routine, you can ease psychological stress, too. Plus, evidence shows that stretching and/or participating in light exercises before a workout improves your “psychological readiness” and helps you get your head in the game. Ready to get started? Contact us today! All in all, adopting a proper warm-up routine before participating in strenuous physical activity is a small-time investment for a long-term benefit. If you have any questions about how to warm up properly and how we can help, contact ReQuest Physical Therapy today.

Inclusion is an important theme that picture books can tackle in a way that’s accessible to young children. And when youngsters grow up loving books that show them the power of inclusion, there’s a good chance our future will be more inclusive.
Here are our 2016 debut picture books that delve into themes of inclusion:
There are many kinds of love in picture books and 2016 picture book debut authors and illustrators have covered much. Check out these titles about LOVE.
Teamwork is a skill learned through communication and working together. This page from Nancy Churnin‘s THE WILLIAM HOY STORY is a great example of teamwork.
Penn State Extension’s Better Kid Care lists several reasons teambuilding with children is important:
Conducting team building activities with children can help children work on developing the following skills:
- Problem solving
- Idea exchange
- Working with others and different groups
- Creative thinking
The link above also has several team building activities for children.
And to wrap up, why not read a picture book that demonstrates teamwork?
Family is important and our picture books reflect that. As Michelle Lee says in her post about families at the New York Public Library blog, all families “share the same universal value: love.” Several of our 2016 picture book debuts showcase this.
From Preschool Education, here’s an action poem about families:
Some Families added 8-22-01 Original Author Unknown
Some families are large. (spread arms out wide)
Some families are small (bring arms close together)
But I love my family (cross arms over chest) best of all!
Picture books about animals or with animals as characters always resonate with kids. Animals can be friends.
Helping animals can build empathy. Sometimes we relate best to animals, and of course, pets can be very important parts of our lives. Here are our 2016 picture book debuts that centre around animals:
Yes, they are funny, but humourous books are more than that. They can entertain, heal with laughter, educate and turn young people into lifelong readers. Seriously, funny books do something special. Check out this list from Megan Daley on Children’s Books Daily:
Five Reasons Children Should Read Humour
- Humour engages young people (particularly reluctant readers) as they are naturally playful and generally laugh far more than adults do.
- Humorous literature harnesses the exuberance and wonder of youth with words and ideas.
- Young people interact with their peers and foster friendships through humorous literature as they enjoy sharing the laughs with their peers.
- Humorous books reflect reality, which, in reality, is a mixture of sad and funny, joy and pain, highs and lows.
- Far from being an ‘easy option’, humorous literature encourages critical reading as young people learn to read between the lines and develop an awareness of subtly and sarcasm, right and wrong.
Humour was a big theme in our 2016 picture books. Check out how many of our books celebrate HUMOUR:
Read them all! Then try a few of these humour inducing activities, such as replacing a key word in a funny song.
To wrap up our debut year, we are going to celebrate our books by theme.
First up is FRIENDSHIP. As 2016 picture book debut authors and illustrators, we’ve made lots of friends over the year, and so have our characters.
Friendship was the most common theme that brought our books together. Take a look at our books celebrating friendship:
Here’s a little poem from CanTeach:
We need friends
And if you have a child nearby who wants to celebrate their friend, here’s a printable booklet to personalize.

If your Windows 10 computer is connected using a Microsoft account, it’s now possible to see the hard drive usage as well as the available space from your Microsoft account dashboard.
Even better, you can check the details of all the hard drives from all your computers linked to your Microsoft account, and you can do this remotely, even if the devices are offline.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to check the storage information of your computer running Windows 10 from your Microsoft account.
How to see hard drive usage from a Microsoft account
If you want to see how much storage is left on your Windows 10 device, you can quickly check this information from your Microsoft account. Here’s how:
Open your Microsoft account.
Click on Devices.
Select the device and click the Show details button.
Click the Status tab.
See the “This PC” section to find out the storage information of your device.
Once you’ve completed the steps, you’ll have an idea of the storage capacity as well as available space on your device. If you want to check the storage capacity details of other computers linked to your Microsoft account, simply click the Show details button from the “Devices” section in your account.
The best part about this method is that your computer doesn’t even needs to be online, and you can check this information from anywhere.
Also, note that within the device details page, you can find out if your computer is out of date, and you can view the current health report, including information about the antivirus, firewall, and security for apps.
Of course, as always, you can use the Storage sense settings page to check hard drive details and to see what’s taking up the space to have a better understanding on how to start deleting files to free up storage. | <urn:uuid:a541f05b-b678-46e1-be2f-615752ae455a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://pureinfotech.com/check-hard-drive-space-windows-10-microsoft-account/ | 2020-09-21T16:14:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.904695 | 385 |
Craving Mexican food? Day-dreaming of tacos falling from the sky or pools of salsa? Sure, you can grab a frozen burrito from the store (yuck!) but who wants that? And with authentic, made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine so close to home, why would you? Of course, knowing what you want and knowing where to go are completely different choices, and it can often be even more difficult to pick the latter. That’s why the team at Room Escape Fairfax compiled this handy list of the best Mexican restaurants in town. Hurry! Read on and pick your restaurant of choice, your (growling) stomach will thank you later.
Top Mexican Restaurants In Fairfax, VA
Planning for Cinco de Mayo? Below each restaurant’s description you’ll find current specials, discounts and other bargains so that you can determine the best spot for you and your family and friends.
For those in the mood for Tex-Mex (otherwise known as Mexican-American fusion), Coyote Grill is a reputable joint. Serving Tex-Mex quintessentials like “Chile Con Queso, Quesadillas and Navajo Nachos,” this friendly neighborhood cantina serves some of the best tejano-inspired food north of Texas. Bring your friends and come hungry, cause finger-friendly tacos, carnitas, and fajitas don’t feed themselves, and you’ll have more than enough to share. Also, be sure to dine in their all-season outside patio–it’s the best in town!
Seasonal specials include: Red Chili Pork Enchiladas, Baja Fish Tacos, Stuffed Avocado, Donut Holes and Garapiña’s (Bolivian cocktails).
Located in the heart of Mosaic (across from the Target and next to Williams & Sonoma), Bar Taco is a taco bar like no other. With its white-washed interior, basket light fixtures, wander-lust photos and expansive bar, Bar Taco is reminiscent of a South-American “playa” (that’s Spanish for beach) than anything else. And with a menu featuring salads, rice bowls, desserts, and (of course) some of the best tacos in town, it’s hard to resist. Team favorites include: chicken pastor or pork belly tacos, duck quesadillas, churros (no doubt) and key lime pie in a jar(!).
While we couldn’t find any local specials in tow, BarTaco features weekly cocktails and recurring secret menu tacos at #bartacosecret. Check it out on their facebook page [here](https://www.facebook.com/btmosaic/).
True to its name, El Fresco is FRESH in all caps. Highlighting homemade Mexican wonders made for on-the-go eating, El Fresco is ideal for power-hungry teenagers, Mexican-food junkies and busy hard-working people alike. Our recommendation: check out there Nacho Supreme (a gorgeous mount of corn tortillas smothered in all the traditional fixin’s), Mariachi Burrito (musical ensemble not included) or Ensaladas (particularly the Shrimp Fajita Guacamole Salad).
Specials include “$7.99 Fajita Mondays,” “Taco Fiesta (10 tacos for $15.99)” or “Lunch for 3 (or 5 small children) for $19.99”.
Created out of a desire to serve yummy handcrafted tacos, excellent guacamole and margaritas, tequila and cervezas in a cozy fun atmosphere, Zandra’s Taqueria in Fairfax is a notoriously-likable hangout for Northern Virginia locals and tourists alike.
Ahi Tuna, Spicy Cuban, Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Beef Barbacoa, Ground Bison(?), Honey Habero Shrimp(!)…the (extensive) list of tacos goes on and on. Top it off with a seemingly endless variety of on-tap beers, mind-blowing dessert (fried ice-cream, Oreo churros, etc.) and live music every Saturday, and it’s easy to see why Zandra’s is so popular.
Committed to handcrafted, fresh Tex-Mex in a casual-dining atmosphere, Uncle Julio’s has built a culinary empire (35 restaurants a counting) in just three decades. With their made-from-scratch fajitas, quesadillas, tacos and tamales, not to mention a full bar menu featuring shaken-to-order margaritas, mojitos and sangrias, Uncle Julio’s is a go-to spot for anyone looking for quality and affordable Tex-Mex. Add to that a rustic-modern venue, with wood-plaid floors, Mexican-inspired architecture and folk art, and you might just forget you’re in the Old Dominion state.
Specialties include Table-side Guacamole, Bacon-Wrapped Camarones, Carne Asada, Guadalajaras, and of course, the Chocolate Piñata.
A warm and lively atmosphere. Competitive prices. Best ingredients. Creative Cocktails. Authentic Mexican and Salvadorian Cuisine. That’s just a few good things people have said about Ines Place. In little over a few years, this small but trendy hotspot has set a new standard for local Mexican food. And with a nearly perfect 5-star rating on Yelp, it’s got the testimonials to prove it. Check out their “Platano Frito’s” (fried plantains in cream) “Alambre Fortachon” (marinated pork, chicken, bacon served with peppers) or “Mar Y Tierra” (boiled steak with shrimp and Salvadorian salsa).
Stop By Room Escape Fairfax While You’re Out
All that (spicy) food got you shaking like a Mexican jumping bean? Why not use all that lively energy doing something fun with your friends. In just a short drive, you could be solving complex puzzles, getting creative, and saving the world, all while having fun and burning calories to boot. Head over to Room Escape Fairfax to round off your Mexican fiesta and feel like a saldado yourself!

This year especially, the flu is absolutely rampant — And that means that traveling can greatly increase your odds of getting sick. It’s already easy enough to catch a cold or virus on an airplane … But with flu season still in full-swing, you really need to step it up to make sure that you don’t get sick when you travel. We have put together our best tips to help you stay healthy the next time you board a plane.
GET SOME EXTRA IMMUNE SUPPORT: A visit to any health food store, and you can find a lot of different options for all-natural immune system support. One of our favorites is Oscillococcinum — An all-natural and homeopathic supplement that relieves the first symptoms of the flu. You can usually find this product near the checkout at Whole Foods.
USE DISINFECTANT WIPES: The second you sit down in your seat on the airplane, disinfect every surface around you! Those seats do not get wiped down and sanitized very often, so make sure that you wipe every surface you’re going to touch. If your destination includes a hotel, we recommend wiping down the surfaces in the room as well. We like to use all natural wipes like ones from Seventh Generation.
WASH YOUR HANDS CONSTANTLY: Whenever you travel, from the airline check in counter to security, to the plane itself, you are touching a lot of different surfaces. Make sure to wash your hands as often as you can. Use soap, and wash for at least 20 seconds with warm water.
BRING YOU OWN BLANKET: Airline blankets are often reused (gross, but true), so bring your own in case you get cold. We suggest brining a cozy sweater, or even a big scarf to wrap up in.
GUARD YOUR NOSE: According to the National Institutes of Health, airborne germs are one of the top-two sources of cold virus infection. We like to use a neti pot right after a flight, and then continuously each day after that we are still traveling. This helps to clean out the sinuses!
DON’T BE AFRAID TO ASK TO MOVE SEATS: Even though you may not want to appear rude, if you are sitting next to a sick passenger, then it is worth asking the flight attendant if you can move seats. Ask politely, and volunteer to take any other seat available.
HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE: Drink as much water as you can before, during and after your travel. Being well hydrated is very important for your immune system to function – But when you travel, the airplane air is very dry and if you aren’t well hydrated, the skin around your nose can become dry, and you become more susceptible to airborne viruses. Which leads us to our next point ….
USE THE AIR VENT ABOVE YOUR SEAT: You want to keep the air around you circulating as much as possible. Turn your air vent on as high as it can go to keep the air (and germs) moving! The air that is circulating is filtered, so it is your best bet at keeping your personal space germ-free.
KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM YOUR FACE: You’re going to be touching bacteria when you travel, no matter how hard you try and avoid it. Try your best not to touch your face and spread the germs to your mouth or eyes.
GET LOTS OF SLEEP: Sleep and rest and very important for a healthy immune system. Even though travel can mean an erratic schedule, try to get a good 8 hours of sleep in the days surrounding your travel.
USE TEA TREE OIL: Tea Tree Oil is an amazing essential oil with a ton of different uses and benefits — The biggest benefit being that it is antibacterial and antiviral. One way you can use it is to try rubbing some tea tree oil onto the soles of your feet to strengthen your immune system and prevent infection. There are a lot of other ways to use this oil (and others), you can read about them here. We like to use Young Living essential oils, they are therapeutic-grade and come in travel-size bottles that are easy to take with you when you travel.
Beijos and stay healthy! Xx

We had a very positive response to our free movie night last Thursday evening. Families could enjoy sitting in comfy chairs or bean bags tasting strawberry sorbet, Apricot with Cardamom Grissini sticks or popcorn and viewing the thought-provoking movie ‘That Sugar Film’. Winners of the raffles received freshly packed, nutritious filled lunch boxes. Many families watched Lisa Strawbridge, a Thermomix consultant prepare with ease, chilled sorbets for sampling. One key message that resonated from this film was that we need to critique foods that, despite being advertised as “healthy, low fat and few calories”, may contain large quantities of sugar and therefore are not the best choices for our health and our wellbeing. We would particularly like to thank Lauren Stanley, the Parent Network and the Healthy Eating Committee for organising the evening and helping it to be a huge success.
Key messages to reinforce with your family:
- eat a greater proportion of fresh seasonal food.
- eat in moderation: excess of any food (e.g. juices) is not good
- regular exercise helps the body metabolise more effectively
- get sufficient sleep to balance your body’s demand for more energy rich foods
Our Kitchen Garden program, our Health and Physical Education curriculum, the Personal and Social Capabilties, all support a headset for informed decision making around eating well and being active. | <urn:uuid:ae42d8a9-24ee-432e-93f9-6f049a648e58> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://woodendprimaryschool.edublogs.org/2015/10/26/that-sugar-film/ | 2020-09-21T16:50:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.942446 | 287 |

How should things go to the cinema after both "Transformers 5: The Last Knight" and "Bumblebee" have fallen short of financial expectations? Sebastian introduces you to all current thoughts on the future of the series in the video:
The “Transformers” films are of immense importance - both for rights holder Hasbro and for Hollywood studio Paramount Pictures. That is why the decision-makers of the two companies will really do everything to ensure that the Transformers in the cinema somehow continue - even if "Transformers 5: The Last Knight" and "Bumblebee" at the worldwide box office have not recently implemented what they did Producers had actually hoped for from the blockbusters.
Watch: Shakuntala Devi Full Movie Review In 3Movierulz
Therefore, there will probably not be a “Transformers 6”, even if the next big villain with Unicron is already waiting for the Autobots in the post-credit scene of the fifth part - the main films are with production costs beyond the $ 200 million mark. The brand is now simply too expensive to make a profit even if the films no longer regularly break the billion-dollar mark at the box office.
"BUMBLEBEE 2"? YES, BUT WITH MORE ACTION!
But even trying to take it one size smaller with "Bumblebee" only worked out to a limited extent: There were clearly better reviews for the film by Travis Knight than for the usual "Transformers" material battles. But it only paid off to a limited extent at the box office. That is why the producers have already announced that there might be another “Bumblebee” film, but this would then take a much more action-oriented direction.
Another plan is to put the nineties spin-off "Beast Wars" on the big screen instead of the original Transformers: In the animation series, the robots do not transform into cars, trucks, and planes, but into mammals, fish and birds.

CIVIL WAR ON CYBERTRON
The ideas for an animated prequel with the working title "Transformers One", on the other hand, are more advanced: The pre-history of Optimus Prime and Megatron is to be continued there - including the civil war that once broke out on Cybertron and ultimately even the destruction of the Transformers home planet led.
Sebastian tells you all the other information in the video above - but it is already pretty clear that it will definitely continue, just never just continue as before. This leaves the big question: Which of the many projects that are being considered or are in the works behind the “Transformers” real film that Paramount Pictures has already officially announced for July 24, 2022? | <urn:uuid:c49d8d6d-cf6d-4c65-be45-b04209fa62d4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.3movierulz.in/2020/08/mammals-against-amphibians-instead-of.html | 2020-09-21T17:01:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.946579 | 585 |
Works Vehicle Accident Claim Bus Damage: Can an employer claim compensation from an employee in the civil courts for damage to a works vehicle – a company bus?
Works vehicle accident claim bus damage: I am not aware of anyone else who has been asked to pay for damage to a works vehicle in the company before and I do not believe there is anything in writing to this effect in my contract of employment.
A: It is quite unusual for an employer to attempt to claim the cost of damage to a works vehicle involved in an accident, but to decide if you are liable to pay compensation you should consider the following:
1. Look carefully at the wording of your contract of employment
You believe that your written contract of employment does refer to your employer’s ability to make a claim against an employee for damage to a works vehicle.
To be sure I recommend you have a look at your contract of employment. If you do not have a copy – ask for a copy.
You will need to read the contract carefully from cover to cover. There may be a section referring to what happens in the event of an accident or damage to a works vehicle.
There may be a section explaining your duties to your employer or covenants you make to your employer about taking proper care of the bus you are driving.
2. Find out on what grounds a claim is being made by your employer for damage to the bus you were driving
If your employer is making a claim in the civil court for monies for compensation for vehicle damage a formal letter known as a letter of claim must first be sent to you setting out the reasons that compensation is being claimed from you.
If no such letter has been sent I suggest you ask your employer the reason a claim is being made against you.
Click work injury claim to see how a compensation claim should be started and the contents of a letter of claim – this page describes a claim against your employer, but is equally applicable to a claim made by an employer against an employee.
3. Gross negligence or a deliberate act in causing the damage to your works vehicle
Your employer may be attempting to suggest that a claim is made against you as the damage was caused to the bus by an act of gross negligence or a deliberate act on your behalf.
An employee should not damage valuable works property deliberately or recklessly. If the bus damage was caused by a deliberate act or, for example, due to the driver having consumed too much alcohol it may be a reason to suggest an employee is responsible for the damage to the works vehicle.
4. Was the bus being driven during the course of your employment?
If you were driving the bus outside of work hours for personal reasons it is possible a claim could be made against you for damage to the works vehicle.
5. Expertise of an employment contract solicitor
The claim being made by your employer is not a personal injury claim, but a civil litigation claim based on contract and employment. I am not an employment contract solicitor, but I can pass your details to a UK specialist employment contract solicitor.
I would only suggest this course of action if a claim is actually being made against you by your employer, as the employment solicitor may charge you for defending a claim on your behalf.
Using the link below you can complete and send a confidential online form and I will have a specialist employment contract solicitor contact you.
Click employment contract solicitor to have a UK specialist employment lawyer contact you to discuss the claim against you for works vehicle bus damage
6. Household building and contents legal protection insurance cover – paying the cost of your UK solicitor in defending a claim for compensation
You may have building and contents insurance, which will pay the legal costs of defending a claim made by your employer.
You should check any insurance policies you have very carefully and if you have the benefit of this cover I suggest you contact your insurer who will assign a panel solicitor to help you defend your claim.
7. Website feedback and free online legal help
I am always trying to improve our site and value comments made by site users.

Australian Disabled Access Consultants were recently commissioned by the NSW State Property Authority to provide disabled access and wheelchair access building refurbishment design advice for the Blacktown Government Office Building.
The scope of work involved:
- Assessment of the wheelchair and disabled access aspects of the existing toilets and kitchenettes on all floors. The disabled parking access within the basement was also part of the assessment
- Review the wheelchair and disabled access aspects of the detailed design drawings, by Plan Source building designers, for the accessible toilets and refurbished kitchenettes and the existing basement parking floors for compliance with Australian Standards AS1428.1–2001 (Design for Access and Mobility – Part 1: General Requirements for Access), AS1428.2–1992 ( Design for Access and Mobility – Part 2: Enhanced and Additional Requirements), AS/NZ1428.4–2002 and AS/NZ2890.1–2004 (Parking Facilities–Part 1: Off-street Car Parking)
- Provide a Disability Access Assessment Report, certifying the final design drawing’s compliance with the guidelines
- Providing a Disability Access Building Audit Report, certifying the building’s wheelchair and disabled access guidelines compliance
The disabled access drawing assessment established that the accessible toilets generally complied with AS1428.1 and AS1428.2 disabled access design guidelines in terms of:
- Bathroom design elements
- Grab rails
- Taps and shower heads
- Slip resistant floor materials
- Doorway widths and corridor widths
- Floor-ceiling heights along all movement pathways
- Lighting illumination
Australian Disabled Access Consultants explained that the disabled access design assessment report revealed that the building refurbishment design complied with the guiding principles of the Disabilities Discrimination Act, Blacktown City Council’s wheelchair and disabled access design guidelines for commercial development within the Blacktown Town Centre business district, and Australian Standards AS1428.1, AS1428.2 and AS2890.1 wheelchair and disabled access building and parking design guidelines. | <urn:uuid:6f9ec7af-b585-4975-918a-7f42395c4bd8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.architectureanddesign.com.au/suppliers/australian-disabled-access-consultants/australian-disabled-access-consultants-assists-nsw | 2020-09-21T17:01:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.88685 | 408 |
Chrysler’s Pacifica clings for life among rare minivans
What exactly is the Chrysler Pacifica?
The Chrysler Pacifica minivan version was introduced in 2017 to take over what was known as the Town and Country. Which was the luxury version of the minivan including woodgrain trim and leather interior. The Cadillac of vans if you will. The Chrysler Pacifica has taken over the Town and Country’s role as the luxury minivan.
Chrysler Pacifica specs
The Chrysler Pacifica comes standard with a V-6, 3.6L 287 horsepower minivan with 9-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel-drive. There is also a hybrid version available which still comes in with a whopping 260 horsepower, which is pretty good for a minivan.
The interiors are luxurious with woodgrain and leather interior, and infotainment features galore. The Chrysler Pacifica, of course, comes with all the normal standard safety and driver-assist features.
The Chrysler Pacifica has taken over the Town and Country’s role as the luxury minivan.
The rise and fall of the minivan
At one time the minivan was everywhere. Every family had one, or wanted one. It was a large, generally inexpensive, family-oriented seven to nine-seater that was great for soccer runs, family road trips, grocery runs, and anything else a family might need a large spacious vehicle for. Trips to Costco or Sam’s Club had never been easier.
It was cheaper than buying a large SUV, more economical on fuel, and upkeep was generally cheap due to its mass popularity. So what happened? Well, it can be hard to pinpoint the exact decline of the minivan, but there are definitely many reasons that likely influenced its decline.
First may be the steady increase in gasoline prices. While more fuel-efficient than a large SUV, minivans were large and often carried lots of people making it more expensive to run than an average sedan. The trend towards environmentally vehicles and less driving also furthered the decline of the minivan. Third, is that most people are filled with shame at the thought of buying or driving a minivan. The flux of crossovers and small SUVs to the market meant that this could all be avoided. For the same price.
While a minivan may not be the best looking vehicle, the Chrysler Pacifica has been praised by test drivers and owners alike. It’s ranked number four in minivans so the general population must also agree!
Things aren’t all bad for the minivan though, Lyft has announced that they will add the Chrysler Pacifica to their self-driving fleet. The Chrysler Pacifica is a type of vehicle greatly equipped to deliver in the ride-sharing market. The greater the seats, the more efficient the ride-sharing services being provided, and the greater the capacity for each individual ride. Holiday rides home have never been easier.
The Chrysler Pacifica may not be the first minivan choice for disabled riders due to the more luxurious interiors which will need to be removed in order to make the necessary adjustments. However, it is easily convertible along with its less expensive peers also made by Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth.
It was cheaper than buying a large SUV, more economic on fuel, and upkeep was generally cheap due to its mass popularity.
The minivan is not yet dead, but it’s been in a serious decline. To maintain or try to improve its market share, the Chrysler Pacifica is now offering some less expensive options in order to provide better option coverage in the minivan market. They also have a hybrid version which tends to satisfy the environmentally and fuel cost-conscious minivan consumer.

21 Nov Self-Reliance
❤️ I am here for you ❤️
This is where we are asking to move to – The Cross of The Sleeping Phoenix, which is the Background Frequency that is establishing at the moment – This is What is happening.
We are asking to be responsible for our own shits, to actually do the work, to heal, to lift up one another, to activate one another.
🌟 Self-Empowerment, Self-Reliance, Individualization, Being our own authority. Learning HOW to be our own parent, parenting our inner child.
👉 See, this is my trip in this life, and NOTHING, I said NOTHING excited me more than seeing people growing out from their own bullshits, Nothing excites me more than “witnessing” people going for their own light, supporting and guiding people for they own self-love journey. Thriving into a GOD or GODDESS.
👉 To remember they were born pure in essence, to show them HOW they can shine the light again, to remind them that it is our birthright to experience JOY, LOVE, HAPPINESS, WELL-BEING and that they do have the choice, that they are a creator, that they can be, do and have whatever they deserve by simply aligning the personality with the vehicle, to be this passenger consciousness. To witness their own purpose unfolding in their lives. Without seeking anything because everything is already here, waiting for you to be ready.
🧙♂️ This is what I teach, this is my work, my professional work and since 2012.
So, my dear Brothers and Sisters, I hear you, I truly hear you and see you. I feel you, I feel your sorrow, your pain, I feel your confusion or frustration, I feel the heaviness in your heart, I do feel everything and I want you to know that I am here for you.
✋ But let’s set healthy boundaries, I’m not a dump truck trash, be aware of it – I’m not a nanny, I’m not here to do things for you, I cannot do the work for you, I am NOT offering a quick fix, but I am here to assist you, to show you the path, like Elders, did for me.
As long as you dare to be correct for yourself. As long as you dare to be big and to shatter your comfort zone, to confront yourself, I’m here for you.
✊ If you dare to stand out for your individuality, I am here for you.
🐺 I am in the wolf business, I’m not rude, I choose my side, and there is nothing glorious to play small or to hide or light by fear to make people insecure.
So, What do you desire? What do you want from your life?
✅More Joy, love, happiness?
✅More clarity, awareness, freedom?
✅More sex, money?
✅More effective communication?
Well, this is my path to support you to be correct for yourself.
I have been traveling the world failing, learning, growing, dying, rebirthing, dying again, rebirthing, teaching and most importantly, embodying the essence of deliberate liberation, freeing my spirit from all the conditioning imposed by peers, society, family, society…
I am here for you, I can meet you because I met myself
I am here to share with you my experience.
And to remind you that you can, stand, here in the world, as yourself.
🤨 So would you, stand as yourself, on my side, and claim back your own individuality?
Or would you give up again, your authority and return with the rest of the zoo, being a sheep…
The choice is yours, red pill, or the blue pill, but remember I offer nothing else than the truth about your true nature.
I am here for you
Message me for a chat, and let’s book you into your first healing session.

For his actions against Frans Nielsen during Saturday’s game with the New York Islanders, winger/center Danny Briere has been suspended by the NHL for three games. Briere likely received three games, as he’s a repeat offender and his actions had the intent to cause injury to a player.
Briere, who has eight points during eleven games this season, will miss games this week against the Carolina Hurricanes, New York Rangers, and a rematch against the New York Islanders on Saturday.
With Briere missing, the Flyers will have to make changes to their lines. Nikolai Zherdev, who has missed the past two games as a healthy scratch, will once again take the ice for the Flyers. Along with Zherdev starting, the Flyers have called up 21-year old Eric Wellwood; who will play with James Van Riemsdyk and Mike Richards. | <urn:uuid:f84db070-ae72-4779-846a-b976fc511ae5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/flyers-danny-briere-suspended-three-games/ | 2020-09-21T15:49:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.983236 | 182 |
We collared Bristolian trio Eton Messy for a chat ahead of their set at The Tuesday Club this month.
You started by posting music online primarily for yourselves to listen to at house parties, and then moved onto putting on club nights – do you think your own experiences within this environment have helped you identify and relate with your audience more?
Spending years in the Bristol music scene and club culture massively aided how we identify and relate to our audience. It’s a very colourful city musically and we got fully stuck in. We wouldn’t say we are confident in knowing what people really want to hear, but we do our best! We still go to other club nights and always have a good nose around at the festivals we go to. It’s so important to make sure you keep doing those things and don’t get pigeonholed.
Musically, who has had a particular influence on you?
We like to listen to various genres and styles. When we were younger we listened to everything from indie and rock to hip hop, drum and bass and now the dance spectrum. Artists like Bonobo, Mount Kimbie all the way to classic pop music like M People and Simply Red; the list is endless!
Through your record label you’ve worked with a wide selection of people, how did you decide who you wanted on the upcoming compilation album?
A blend of ideas really; putting forward tracks that we were all really feeling at the time. We also drew up a list of people we thought were killing it, up and comers and also some heavy hitters for good measure! We were lucky enough to get some exclusive tracks from some of these guys and also some fresh heads that are just giving birth to their projects.
You’ve often highlighted the importance of images fitting with the feel of the music. How do you translate this to the stage?
This has been something that is continually developed and we feel for this ‘In:Season’ tour and compilation it’s where we want to be. Work is in progress to translate this to stage now! In previous years it has been a lot of projected visuals, lightboxes and small touches – who knows what might pop up this time?
What can we expect from your set at The Tuesday Club?
A bit of everything, including tracks off the compilation but also some hidden gems we have kept back for our sets, so you’ll have to come and see it to find out! The last few times we have played there have been awesome – a super crowd and wicked people. Sheffield is great fun especially on a Tuesday!

There is an alarming statistic that 53% of American girls age 13 are unhappy with their bodies, and the percentage increases to 78% by the age of 17.
This is heartbreaking.
How can our young girls feel so unhappy with their bodies and unworthy of self-love? I can’t help but ask myself, how did we contribute to this problem, and how can we shift these horrible statistics?
Here are two ways we can start to help our beautiful young girls to learn how to love themselves and their bodies:
1. Affirm the young girls in our lives daily.
If you’re a mother, aunt, godmother, or mentor to a young girl, are you intentional with affirming your love for her? As adults, we can forget to remind the people we love how much they mean to us. Even if our actions show it, it’s good to say it as well. Speaking daily affirmation to our girls will not only increase their self-love at the moment, but it will demonstrate how they can learn to affirm themselves.
2. Do our own work.
Children are creatures of imitated behavior. They don’t do what we say. They do what we do. It’s hard to help someone in an area that we, too, struggle with internally. If you can relate to this, make yourself a priority and do the work of healing and self-discovery. Not only for yourself, but for the future women watching you.
You’re worth it, and the young women following in our footsteps are depending on us to shift our narrative.
If you’re ready to do the work to Find Body Freedom, I’m here to help you along the way. Schedule a free consultation, and let’s work through it all together. | <urn:uuid:f5b24401-02cc-4287-b6fb-982d6b7679c8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.findbodyfreedom.com/post/encouraging-self-love-for-the-next-generation | 2020-09-21T15:12:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.940259 | 377 |
Kicking off his election campaign on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised he would act to exempt basic food products from the 18% value-added tax and double the grants awarded to newly demobilized soldiers.

Speaking at a business conference sponsored by the financial daily Globes, Netanyahu’s plan was short on details. However, he did say it would include basic foods whose prices are subject to price controls and would cost the treasury no more than 2 billion shekels ($500 million) in lost tax revenues.
The prime minister made a point of stressing the differences of his VAT-exemption plan to the one Yair Lapid had proposed – exempting many first-time buyers of new homes from the tax – before Netanyahu dismissed him as finance minister last week.
“This is a benefit that will reach millions of people. It addresses people’s most basic needs – bread, milk, eggs. This plan will enable them to save hundreds to thousands of shekels every year. It’s a 15% reduction on prices for price-controlled food, and all of the savings will go to consumers,” Netanyahu said.
Exempting new homes from VAT would help no more than 14,000 people, most of them with middle or higher incomes, he said.
Netanyahu also told the Globes conference he wanted to increase the grant to newly released soldier to 60,000 shekels ($15,000).
Lapid responded that Netanyahu had never proposed either a VAT exemption for food or increasing grants for soldiers while the two were in government together for 18 months.
“Mr. Netanyahu has a clear strategy about the elections,” Lapid said. “His basic assumption is that the Israeli voter, the Israeli citizen, is a 4-year-old. Only two things work on 4-year-olds – sweets and intimidation. Every election, he promises them sweets he won’t deliver, while saying there are enemies all around and only he can save us.”
Netanyahu’s plan quickly came under fire not just from Lapid but by Tax Authority officials, who said eliminating VAT on basic food would deprive the government of billions of shekels in tax revenues. Speaking on condition of anonymity, they noted that total revenues from VAT on food amounted to 9 billion shekels.
Officials cited a 2013 study that was prepared for an abortive proposal to exempt VAT on a longer list of basic food items – including goods like hummus, tomato paste, white and yellow cheese, baby food and even carp. That study estimated the lost tax revenues at 5 billion shekels.
Although fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as products and services sold in the southern resort town of Eilat, are VAT-exempt, in principle treasury and tax officials oppose differential VAT rates. They say that even exemptions for items like basic food tend to help the highest income earners the most, as they spend much more on food than lower-income families.
Anyway, they added, VAT exemptions usually don’t end up getting fully passed on to consumers, with each one percentage point drop in VAT yielding a decline of 0.5-0.6 of a point in food prices.
Meanwhile, sources close to the prime minister said he would hold onto the finance portfolio at least until the Likud party primary, currently slated for January 6. Netanyahu may even continue serving as acting finance minister until a new government is formed, they said.
Netanyahu is undecided for now. On the one hand, the treasury – with the 402 billion-shekel budget for 2014 that it controls – gives him vast power while the campaign is on; on the other, it would add to the weight of responsibilities he has to shoulder.
In all events, Harel Locker – the director general of the prime minister’s office who announced last month that he is to step down, would play a major role in treasury policy as long as Netanyahu holds the portfolio.
The prime minister doesn’t want to appoint an interim finance minister to avoid resentment inside Likud ranks by whoever doesn’t get the job. However, he might reconsider that, said the sources, who asked not to be identified.
Netanyahu’s top choice for the portfolio is Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz, who in recent months has emerged as a close ally. Netanyahu might award Katz the Finance Ministry before the primary if he thinks it will help Katz’s campaign.
Yuval Steinitz, another Netanyahu ally who served as finance minister in the prime minister’s previous government, is considered a second choice right now. | <urn:uuid:aaa8887b-556a-4a5b-9e95-81ece4801e0d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/business/.premium-netanyahu-calls-for-zero-vat-on-basic-foods-1.5342751 | 2020-09-21T16:03:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400201826.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20200921143722-20200921173722-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.964898 | 1,108 |
