The last quarter of 2017 is not very far. Therefore it is obvious that the smartphone industry will notice every move of Apple. We all know that Apple has a history of launching their iPhone model in the last quarter of the year. However this year many experts were raising doubts as the makers were facing some supply related issues. Many were saying that Apple may not be able to show the next iPhone model before November. Now some new reports have arrived and it is giving some clues about the launch.
Apple is looking to launch iPhone 8 in September. This will not be the only model which will be launched next month. The company is also looking to show iPhone 7S and iPhone 7S Plus. However, the makers may move ahead cautiously and they may bring the model in limited quantities at the beginning. Later on, after a few weeks, they may start sending the new models to the customers. It is a known fact that Apple faced some supply related issues this year. Therefore this move was expected by the Cupertino based company. But they are making sure that the launch should not be delayed because of this reason. It will help the company to generate the interest among the buyers.
There is something more to discuss with iPhone lovers. People close to the industry are saying that the new models are expected to be available in three colours. These are Gold, Silver and Black. Therefore the chances are that you may get more options to check this year. Recently one of the officials of the company told that the upcoming iPhone models are not going to be economical. So you may have to pay a little extra this time. The price of iPhone 8 is expected to be a little higher than iPhone 7S and iPhone7S Plus. The fast charging and wireless charging facilities are expected to be available this time. However, we may have to purchase separate accessories to avail this facility.
There are many related reports available these days which claim some features about iPhone 8. We may not see the home button in this model and it can have a Bezel-less display. Apple is looking to show all the three models on the same date. But there are chances that many customers may not get the model before 2018. Apple is looking to sort out the issues and it is going to take some time. So what do you think about the next iPhone model? Are you ready to pay a little extra to get this model? | <urn:uuid:0cfdf8f6-634b-4cd9-ab19-fef1995f4b02> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.mobilecomputingtoday.co.uk/6206/apple-bring-iphone-8-september/ | 2020-09-24T07:21:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.977376 | 483 |
But there is, it seems from statements by government ministers, a problem with this investment, aside from whether we can afford it or not: "red tape". It suddenly seems to be the idea of the moment that "red tape" needs to be swept away to allow government, in collaboration with the private sector, to build the infrastructure that we need. According to George Osborne today, the planning system is too cumbersome and it is getting in the way.
In fact, I agree with this, but on, I suspect, completely different grounds to the ministers who have been talking about it, and the kinds of projects I am thinking about are quite different. I am thinking not about a new runway for Heathrow, but about modest changes to the streets of London. But these things are all related. Let's face it, if we can't get kerbs and signs right, what chance have we with airports and high speed rail?
So, on Friday I was looking at a little street in Brent, just north of Harrow Road, called Hazel Road, with a consultant and some council officers. This street has been closed-off to through-traffic for some years. There is a pedestrainised area by a small playground. We noted that many cyclists were using this street as a bypass to a congested junction on Harrow Road. Good on them, why shouldn't they? This is what "filtered permeability" is all about: giving cyclists easier journeys than other road traffic by letting them use routes that are blocked to motor traffic, in the process, separating them from motor traffic, for the good of all. But unfortunately, cyclists are not officially allowed to pass through the pedestrainised section of Hazel Road. The meeting was convened to consider how to change the street to make it better and regularise the cycle route through here.
|Hazel Road, Kensal Green|
But in reality, in UK town planning, things are never as simple, or as cheap, as this. For this road has has a "traffic order" put on it that excluded all wheeled traffic from the pedestrianised section, and it will need another traffic order to create an exception for bikes. That means that Brent has to go through an expensive legal procedure. Public notices need to be issued, adverts need to be placed in obscure papers that nobody reads (and that exist only for the purpose of having these public notices that nobody reads placed in them), consultation documents need to be sent out to all and sundry, lawyers need to be paid, and officers must get bogged down in masses of paperwork, all, in effect, to allow a couple of workmen to come out for a morning with a pick and shovel to relay about eight kerbstones. It's a situation that the Charles Dickens of Bleak House would have revelled in grimly satirising.
As a result, the cost of this tiny, modest change to the road network, and to the cycling infrastructure in London, will be thousands of pounds. Multiply this by the many other small changes that are needed all over London to create even the most rudimentary cycling network, and you can readily see why such a project seems unaffordable. And the great worry of council officers is that if the proposals are slightly ambitious, involving changes to parking or motor traffic flow patterns, then there could be quite a few objections in a public consultation, and councillors may take heed of these, and block the scheme. Then all the money spent on it will have been wasted.
So we have a crazy situation. Leading politicians are saying we need to spend money on new infrastructure, not merely for the reason of actually having the infrastructure, but for the reason of actually spending the money to revive the economy. Yet when we ask for small changes to create better cycling connections in London, and improve the streetscapes for everybody, we are told that there is no money because we are in a recession, and money is tight. But in fact, there was no money for these changes when the economy was booming either (or they would have been done by now).
The money to change Hazel Road comes from the "Biking Borough" grant awarded to Brent by Boris Johnson. It is around £300,000 to be spent over three years. But at least half this cash is being spend on promotional measures to encourage cycling, because that is what should happen in Biking Borough schemes, according to TfL. That leaves about £50,000 per year to be spent on infrastructure, for three years. That means two or three very small-scale schemes like Hazel Road per year, plus maybe a few more cycle stands. This is a minuscule rate of progress, even if all goes according to plan, and nothing gets objected to.
A mad system of red tape, legalism, and excessive emphasis on expensive public consultation over small matters currently strangles attempts to provide for cycling in our cities.
Some of the consultation thing comes from legal judgements that stem from legislation put in during the Thatcher era. The "Primrose Hill Judgement" of 1995 against Camden Council, where Camden attempted to introduce controlled parking in that well-heeled (and well-wheeled) district, without, according to a judge, adequate consultation, along with other developments and emphases by local government ministers in successive governments, has fostered an idea that residential roads "belong" to the people who live on them. It has become very difficult for councils to put in schemes on such roads with which a majority of residents disagree. And this makes strategic planning for cycling extremely difficult, because cycle networks will be, in part, on minor roads, but if each section of network can potentially be blocked by a vociferous group of nimby residents who see only their own short-term interests, and don't understand the strategic reasoning, then it is no wonder that council officers are very loth to propose anything remotely ambitions, beyond painting some cycle symbols on a road.
So I agree with George Osborne. The infrastructure we need for both growth and environmental benefit is being strangled by foolish bureaucratic rules imposed by government. But at this level, the level of kerbstones on tiny residential streets, I don't think this problem is on the radar of ministers. It needs to be, if councils are to deliver any sort of cycling infrastructure, and deliver it within sensible budgets. | <urn:uuid:86900f6b-dbb1-4ccd-94e6-6191e3e7304f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.voleospeed.co.uk/2012/09/the-red-tape-that-strangles-cycling.html | 2020-09-24T08:03:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.974279 | 1,301 |

Inside: The easiest way to make gummy candy sushi
There’s nothing that I love more that fun, smile producing party food. From piñata cakes to bunny cinnamon rolls – food with a pun makes every party more fun! ;) These easy to make gummy candy sushi treats are the perfect party food to make everyone around swim with joy.
How to serve Candy Sushi at a party
Serving up the candy sushi on small cutting boards with legit chopsticks will make a party come together quickly. I love the idea of having each place setting set up with a similar style, or set one long sushi board across the table (like this), but with candy instead obviously.
Another fun party idea is to purchase cute little to-go boxes and send home the candy sushi as party favors at the end of the night. Here’s a set of the chopsticks and boxes to complete the look.
These would also make such a fun April Fool’s Day prank for the kids to create that the entire family would get a kick out of.
Really anyway you serve up the sweet sushi is a win.
Tips for how to make gummy candy sushi
I love the creative idea of serving fish gummy candy along with the candy sushi, it really pulls it all together. This crazy easy recipe (can you even call it that?) will allow the “meal” to be served up in under 10 minutes flat.
There are a lot of ideas for creating this type of candy sushi online and these colorful photos by Luca Pierro showcase what I think is the easiest way to create this really fun concept for a party. Creating the sushi belts out of many different colors and using the marshmallow twists gives the look of some of the more time consuming recipes I’ve seen in a SUPER easy way. So easy, the kids can even help to create the recipe.
The best candy for making the gummy sushi
To make the gummy candy sushi you will need:
Gummy Candy Sushi Recipe
The easiest recipe for making gummy candy sushi for your next party.

Use these gummy candy sushi as a jumping off point to create an entire party around, I know it would easily fit into our 10 year old party ideas.

MC Dumpling, 106 Hopkins Street, Footscray. Phone: 9191 6511
Putting aside my gentle ribbing about the “Scottish ancestry” of Hopkins Street’s new dumpling purveyor, it turns out there is method in their method.
MC Dumpling, you see, stands for My Chinese Dumpling.
But more than that, this place does embrace a fast-food look and process.
And that, as in this case, can be good.
What it means here is bright, clean surrounds; brisk service with a smile; and freshly prepared and very affordable food (see menu below).
But it is the dumplings that are definitely the go here.
These steamed pork and chive numbers, for instance, are fabulous at $9 for 16.
Fresh-as, not too big, kinda dainty, juicy/succulent – even if there was little by of discernible chive vibe.
Ditto with these lamb and leek dumplings – same number, same price, same good impression.
We fare slightly less impressively with the sides.
These chicken ribs normally cost $3, but are being presented to customers free with any order as an opening celebration.
We don’t know how long that’ll be the case!
They’re well fried and ungreasy – but tasteless.
Or rather, taste not of chicken.
Actually, ALL the sides cost $3 – including these corn fritters.
They’re a variation on the more familiar spring onion pancake and are OK.
For the price, these tender slabs of deep-fried bean curd are very nice.
There’s more to explore by way of sides here.
And the dumplings – and the place – appeal as happy additions to Footscray central. | <urn:uuid:c231434d-7004-408f-9ed4-392183d04241> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://considerthesauce.net/2017/12/13/fine-dumplings/ | 2020-09-24T09:04:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.9211 | 393 |

The PlayStation 4 will have the strongest software launch lineup in PlayStation history. That’s according to lead system architect Mark Cerny, who told Gamasutra that this is the result of developers being familiar with the system’s PC-based architecture.
“The launch lineup for PlayStation 4–though I unfortunately can’t give the title count–is going to be stronger than any prior PlayStation hardware,” Cerny said. “And that’s a result of that familiarity.” | <urn:uuid:652f121d-2d34-4226-9b99-69f939a10d30> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cynsworkshop.com/2013/04/30/sony-ps4-will-have-strongest-launch-lineup-in-playstation-history/ | 2020-09-24T07:50:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.884944 | 114 |
Writer/director/producer John Ridley has signed a new five-year overall deal with ABC Studios. This is the longest-term pact for Ridley at the studio where he has been since 2014 with a two-year overall deal, followed by a three-year one.
The long-term agreement reflects the desire by TV studios to secure their talent amid a red-hot overall deal market, with a number of bidding wars over top-level creative talent going on right now.
Under the new deal, which is strictly for TV, Ridley will develop content across multiple platforms. He is currently working on a number of projects for broadcast, cable, and streaming.
“John Ridley has been making incredible content for us since his Emmy winning series, American Crime,” said Patrick Moran, President, ABC Studios. “There’s no one in the business like John who brings such incredible skill and creativity to everything he does. We are thrilled to have a new long-term deal with him and so look forward to what’s next from this visionary filmmaker.”
Ridley was the creator, writer, director, and executive producer of ABC Studios’ acclaimed series American Crime, which aired on ABC for three seasons and garnered multiple award nominations, earning co-star Regina King two Emmys His limited series Guerilla, produced by ABC Signature Studios, with Idris Elba, Freida Pinto, and Babou Ceesay, aired in 2017 on Showtime and Sky.
Ridley recently directed the first episode of the ABC Signature Studios-produced original series Godfather of Harlem, starring and executive produced by Forest Whitaker, which will premiere on Epix in November. His documentary about the Los Angeles uprising, Let It Fall: Los Angeles 1982-1992, premiered in theaters and aired on ABC in 2017 and is still available on Netflix.
“I’m so appreciative to ABC Studios, and the entire Disney company for this massive show of faith and support,” said Ridley. “My absolute best work has been with ABC Studios. Their commitment is substantial, and as the company grows I can’t imagine having a better home from which to reach the widest audience possible.”
Ridley won an Oscar in 2013 for writing 12 Years A Slave. He executive produced, wrote and directed the Jimi Hendrix biopic Jimi: All Is By My Side. He is currently in post-production on the sci-fi romance feature film, Needle in a Timestack with Leslie Odom Jr., Freida Pinto, Cynthia Erivo, and Orlando Bloom.
In the fall of 2018 Ridley opened NO Studios, a collaborative space for the creation and appreciation of art, in his hometown of Milwaukee. He is repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and Rohner & Walerstein. | <urn:uuid:aa2ad91c-a30f-4b01-973b-e983d7ffe5ba> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://deadline.com/print-article/1202557070/?KeepThis=1&TB_iframe=1&height=500&width=750 | 2020-09-24T09:30:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962429 | 584 |
Level of Detail
Wall Worm has various tools to create and manage the Level of Detail of your models. Below are more articles.
The Level of Detail Generator on the Level of Detail Tools Rollout lets you generate LOD models from the root mesh. The tool will make lower-res versions of your model so that less polygons are rendered in-game when players move farther away.
This rollout displays all of the LOD (Level of Detail) models in your model. Inside this rollout you can select the helpers that control LOD switch distances, vertex count percentages and add/append models to your LOD models. | <urn:uuid:727994ef-3ef2-4164-b49b-3a4924e62ec3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://dev.wallworm.com/topic/17/level_of_detail.html | 2020-09-24T09:52:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.873545 | 126 |
Ye olde Main Site will be placed in semi-stasis on Thursday, per this letter from the host:
Our technical operations team is constantly working to improve our services. As part of these improvements, we will be moving your MySQL databases to a new server while upgrading the MySQL version to 5.6. This migration will take place this Thursday, the 1st of October, starting at 10AM PDT. Migrating the databases from their current location will take all day to complete, however you will only experience 5 to 10 minutes of downtime when your databases are actually moved. During this maintenance, please try not to make any updates to your site (it will just prolong the migration). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause!
I expect this place will be running, or at least ambulatory.

The Guild affirms key priorities for negotiations on Horizon Europe
On 5 November 2018, the Guild of European Research-intensive Universities presented key priorities that should be addressed as part of the ongoing legislative work leading to the establishment of Horizon Europe to decision-makers at the European Parliament, the Council of the EU and the European Commission. Guild universities welcome a better balance between research and innovation and the goal to cover all technology readiness levels (TRLs) in the next Framework Programme. According to the paper, Horizon Europe should first and foremost focus on supporting the best talent in research and innovation, and achieve added value through collaboration between the actors that present the most cutting-edge ideas in their project proposals. A strong and structured role for leading scientists to feed into the Strategic Programming process should be established, and scientific advice has to have a sustained role in the process through renewed Advisory Groups of high-level experts, the Guild underlines.
In terms of cooperation with non EU-countries the network calls for strengthening the European Research Area by building Horizon Europe on strong association agreements. To maintain the programme’s scientific leadership on a global scale, Horizon Europe’s ability to attract international talent and support projects with a global outreach should be secured, the statement finds.

Hey, hey! Happy Monday from my house to yours! My kids head back to school tomorrow, so we have one more day before we settle into our full routine. :). If you need me today, I am making all the lists, getting a bit of work in, and enjoying one last day of relaxation
We had a great Christmas break…this year, we enjoyed the easy nature of our current stage/ages of our kiddos. Technically, we did less but enjoyed it more. That’s funny, right? There was lots of cozy couch time, spur of the moment baking, board games, and sweet moments together. A perfect Christmas.
Our break started with silly Christmas sweaters and festive fun
and after pick up on the last day of school, I took these two to Ice at the Gaylord. We had fun, but I think I picked the wrong day to go. Yes, the resort was empty but I think the kids were just tired from being at school. Next time I will choose more wisely!
The exhibit really was spectacular!
This year, we didn’t get to as many Chrismtas parties as we would have liked to. We had the best of intentions, but our schedule just did not allow for it this year. Our kids are just in a busy season. At the last minute, we were able to sneak in some silly fun with our small group to celebrate Christmas!
Christmas has been Luke making us laugh…
and a few GORGEOUS sunsets
It was a little Christmas celebration with Luke’s team
And Daisy continuing to live her best life. haha.
Life has been cinnamon roll deliveries
and stops at Buc-ees in our jammies.
We celebrated the birth of our Savior at church on Christmas eve
where I saw great friends
and my favorite BFF
Christmas break was cookies for Santa
and taking a minute to rest and relax.
Daisy and Dixie even got into the Christmas Spirit.
I started a new challenge to read 36 books this year, and I’ve already started on my 4th since Christmas. This one is so cute and sweet. I definitely recommend it!
These are the days, y’all! I never want to forget them! Now, onto our normal routine. It’s going to feel so good to be back in the groove tomorrow. Hope you have a great start to your week! See you back here tomorrow! | <urn:uuid:cfcfc61f-dbf0-459e-baa2-f06a465911f0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://graceandloveblog.com/2020/01/06/19916/ | 2020-09-24T07:39:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.974829 | 511 |
Perhaps inspired by all the dim winter light, the second marathon day of Stockholm Fashion Week was again dominated by vampiric shades of gray and black. This was the case at Local Firm, a consistently creative concept-driven line, taking cues from the art and design of the old Eastern Bloc. With their red-kohl eyes, models in quilted cardigans, knee-length cashmere dresses and layer upon layer of textured darks looked part creature of the night, part computer hacker. A multi-dimensional apron and black silk skinnies for men, and a sheer patchwork shell for women were more adventurous options.
Taking folk costumes as a starting point and incorporating Incan and African patterns, Noir&Blanc’s lively presentation of pantsuits, caped sweaters, and silk dresses was fueled by the best soundtrack of the day, a pounding mash-up of tribal and techno beats. Exaggerated, asymmetrical lapels, decadent black sequins and shoulder-less blazers offered more over-the-top elements. The sole hue of orange sienna was impressive in silk dresses, a draped blouse and dusted on the models’ eyes, some of whom were accessorized with a tribal stick earring.
At Berns Hotel, Thai meatballs and vegetables with “Sean Connery” sauce—the reason for its name eluding our waiters—were necessary nourishment heading into the evening shows, which included Cheap Monday, one of the better-known street brands to come out of Stockholm in the last few years. With a massive video screen on either side of an elevated runway, models stormed out in rubber, shiny vinyl, and signature high-waisted skinny jeans. Inspired by society’s dependence on technology, the pieces offered clothing options in the event robots take over—or, more positively, new-beginning scenarios. Although, it’s safe to assume if we get to that point, clothing may be optional. | <urn:uuid:ba609a4c-0ef5-4793-b7e5-885a44217ddf> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hintmag.com/2011/02/03/post-stockholm-fashion-week-day-2-february-03-2011/ | 2020-09-24T08:18:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.92897 | 411 |

N-terminal site-specific modification of a protein has many advantages over methods targeting internal positions, but it is not easy to install reactive groups onto a protein in an N-terminal specific manner. We here report a strategy to incorporate amino acid analogues specifically in the N-terminus of a protein in vivo and demonstrate it by preparing green fluorescent protein (GFP) having bio-orthogonally reactive groups at its N-terminus. In the first step, GFP was engineered to be a foldable, internal methionine-free sequence via the semi-rational mutagenesis of five internal methionine residues and the introduction of mutations for GFP folding enhancement. In the second step, the N-terminus of the engineered protein was modified in vivo with bio-orthogonally functional groups by reassigning functional methionine surrogates such as L-homopropargylglycine and L-azidohomoalanine into the first methionine codon of the engineered internal methionine-free GFP. The N-terminal specific incorporation of unnatural amino acids was confirmed by ESI-MS analysis and the incorporation did not affect significantly the specific activity, refolding rate and folding robustness of the protein. The two proteins which have alkyne or azide groups at their N-termini were conjugated each other by bio-orthogonal Cu(I)-catalyzed click chemistry. The strategy used in this study is expected to facilitate bio-conjugation applications of proteins such as N-terminal specific glycosylation, labeling of fluorescent dyes, and immobilization on solid surfaces.

The N-terminus of a protein is an attractive target site for functionalization to afford protein modifications such as PEGylation, glycosylation and fluorescent labeling; these modified proteins can be valuable sources for development of therapeutics and diagnostics –. Several chemical methods have been developed for N-terminal functionalization of a protein, but they are generally complicated and involve side reactions which yield heterogeneous products –. Biological methods for the N-terminal functionalization of a protein have recently been recognized as efficient ways to overcome the problems in chemical N-terminal modification. In particular, an approach based on the methionine (Met) residue substitution method allows the efficient production of proteins with an N-terminal specific functional group in vivo –, which would pave the way to generate proteins with novel functions.
The Met residue substitution method introduces unnatural Met analogues into a protein by reassigning the Met codon globally in a protein sequence , . The simple procedure using the Met auxotroph enables the production of a range of proteins with functional groups on a large scale. Bio-orthogonally reactive groups, such as L-homopropargylglycine (Hpg) and L-azidohomoalanine (Aha), have been incorporated into the Met positions of proteins in vivo by adding the Met surrogates instead of Met because the wild-type Met-tRNA synthetase recognizes the unnatural amino acids , . In addition, engineering of the substrate specificity of Met-tRNA synthetase can expand the scope of this methodology , .
Bacterial proteins are synthesized from Met and the removal process of the start Met can be suppressed by selecting the second residue next to the Met carefully , . Therefore, Met analogues can be incorporated into the N-termini of proteins using the Met residue substitution method. However, the presence of the internal Met codons in the target sequences limits the successful application of the Met residue substitution method for N-terminal specific functionalization due to the reassignment of unnatural Met surrogates to internal Met codons as well as to the first Met codon –. This problem can be overcome by engineering the protein sequence to be devoid of internal Met residues. Although this approach sometimes needs time-consuming protein engineering work to find internal Met-free variants having original functions of proteins, to our knowledge, this approach is the only one that makes the N-terminal specific modification of a protein possible.
Our previous report showed that a protein sequence could be engineered to be an internal Met-free using a consensus-based concept . In the study, the internal Met residues of the single chain fragment variable (scFv) antibody sequence were replaced successfully with other conserved amino acids without affecting the activity of the protein. This allowed subsequent N-terminal specific functionalization of the scFv using the Met residue substitution method. The stability of scFv probably contributed to the success of the approach because stability of a protein is known to be related to the resistance to mutations , . However, it is easily expected that the Met removal based on consensus sequences may not always work, because most proteins are marginally stable and thus cannot withstand multiple changes in their sequences . In particular, hydrophobic residues such as Met are frequently located in the highly packed hydrophobic core, which makes it harder to generate functional Met-free protein sequences.
We here engineered a green fluorescent protein (GFP) to be an internal Met-free protein sequence and demonstrated its N-terminal functionalization using the in vivo Met residue substitution method. It was previously reported that mutations of the three Met residues in the core hydrophobic regions of GFP based on consensus approach induced complete misfolding of the protein . In the present study, a GFP devoid of internal Met residues was generated by semi-rational mutagenesis and its folding efficiency was improved by introducing mutations for GFP folding enhancement, which yielded an internal Met-free GFP sequence that can be properly folded. Subsequently, bio-orthogonally reactive amino acid analogues were introduced at the N-terminus of the engineered GFP (Figure 1). Then a protein-protein conjugation was demonstrated using the N-terminally modified GFPs.
Step 1: generation of internal methionine (Met) free GFP by semi-rational mutagenesis using similar physicochemical amino acids. Step 2: introduction of folding enhancement mutations to rescue the fluorescence activity of internal Met-free native GFP. Step 3: N-terminal functionalization of active GFP by Met residue specific incorporation methodology.
Materials and Methods
T4 DNA ligase, restriction endonucleases and PCR reagents, were purchased from New England Biolabs (Tokyo, Japan). The isopropyl-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and other chemicals were purchased from Sigma chemicals (St. Louis, MO, USA) unless otherwise indicated. Hpg and Aha were purchased from Chiralix (Nijmegen, Netherlands). Escherichia coli strain M15A methionine auxotroph was kindly donated by Prof. David A. Tirrell (Caltech, USA) and plasmid pQE80-L was obtained from Qiagen (Valencia, CA, USA).
Construction of the GFP Variants
The pQE-80-GFP constructed in our previous study was used for the template of GFPnt. Mutagenesis of the Met codons in GFPnt were carried out by assembly PCR method . Table S1 shows the primers used in the mutagenesis. The amplification of GFPnt in pQE80-L using two sets of primers (GFPntOut-F and GFPntM153-R, and GFPntM153-F and GFPntOutR) was performed with VentR DNA Polymerase (New England Biolabs) to mutate M153 to Thr. The DNA fragments obtained from these PCR steps were purified on 1.5% agarose gels (Qiagen Gel Extraction Kit). Equimolar quantities of the fragments were used as the template for the assembly PCR using the following pairs of primers: GFPntOut-F and GFPntOut-R. Similarly, M233K mutation was introduced into GFPnt containing M153T using two sets of primers (GFPntOut-F and GFPntM233-R, and GFPntM233-F and GFPntOutR) followed by assembly PCR described above, which generated GFPnt-r2M. GFPnt-r3M was obtained by the saturation mutagenesis of the M218 position in GFPnt-r2M using two sets of primers (GFPntOut-F and GFPntM218-R, and GFPntM218-F and GFPntOutR) and subsequent screening of fluorescent colonies. GFPnt-r4M was also obtained by the saturation mutagenesis of the M78 and M88 positions in GFPnt-r2M using respective sets of primers and subsequent screening of fluorescent colonies. GFPhs-r5M was commercially synthesized by Genescript Corporation (New Jersey, USA). The GFPnt-r2M, GFPnt-r3M, GFPnt-r4M and GFPnt-r5M were cloned into pQE80-L by using BamHI and HindIII restriction sites, and GFPhs-r5M was cloned into the same plasmid by using EcoRI and HindIII sites. All of the constructs possessed hexa-histidine tags in their C-terminals.
Expression and Purification of Met Analogues Incorporated GFP Variants
The GFP variants in pQE80-L was transformed into E. coli M15A Met auxotroph and expressed in minimal medium according to previously described protocols . Briefly, the limiting concentration of Met (0.035 mM) allowed the cells to attain an OD600 0.6–0.8 and the target proteins were induced with 1 mM IPTG followed by simultaneous addition of either Met or Met analogues (0.5 mM) and allowed the expression for 5 h. The harvested cells were suspended in lysis buffer (50 mM Na-Phosphate buffer pH 7.4 containing protease inhibitor) and disrupted by french press. The suspension was subsequently spun down to collect the soluble and insoluble protein fraction for SDS-PAGE analysis. The remaining soluble protein fractions were purified by Ni-NTA column chromatography (GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Sweden) by standard protocol. Elution fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, and those that were enriched in the desired GFP variants were pooled and dialyzed against 1X phosphate buffered saline (PBS).
Measurement of Fluorescence
Whole cell fluorescence assay was performed on cells with a 0.1 OD600, suspended in 1X PBS, by measuring fluorescence intensity by exciting at 485 nm and collecting emission at 515 nm with excitation/emission slits of 5.0 nm using Perkin Elmer/Wallac Victor 2 Multilabel Counter (1420-011). The protein samples were excited at 490 nm and emissions collected at 511 nm with excitation/emission slits of 5.0 nm were recorded on Hitachi FL spectrophotometer (F-4500) equipped with FL solution program for analysis of the spectra.
Denaturation and Refolding of GFP Variants
Each purified GFP variant (30 µM) was unfolded at 95°C for 5 min in 1X PBS containing 8 M urea and 5 mM DTT. Refolding was carried out by 100-fold dilution of urea denatured samples at room temperature into 1X PBS containing 5 mM DTT. The concentrations of denatured proteins were adjusted to 0.3 µM and recovered fluorescence was measured using Hitachi FL spectrophotometer (490 nm excitation, 511 nm emission, 10 nm excitation/emission slit) for 30 min with an interval of 3 sec. The recovered fluorescence was normalized by dividing final fluorescence after 24 h value. The normalized values were fitted with Sigma Plot (Systat Software Inc., CA) using equations as described by previous report .
Renaturation Equilibrium Measurement
Each purified GFP variant (100 µM) was denatured at 95°C for 5 min in 9 M urea in TNG buffer (25 mM Tris pH 7.5, 0.2 M NaCl, 5% Glycerol, 1 mM DTT). Equilibrium fluorescence values were measured by diluting the urea denatured proteins into refolding buffer (TNG) containing 5 mM DTT to various final concentration of urea (1–6 M), and allowing the refolding to proceed up to 24 h at 15°C. Fluorescence was measured by exciting at 485 nm and emission at 515 nm with excitation/emission slits of 5.0 nm and was recorded on Perkin Elmer/Wallac Victor 2 Multilabel Counter (1420-011). C0.5 was calculated by measuring the concentration of urea at which the 50% of initial fluorescence was recovered after 24 h of incubation, and the values were determined by sigmoidal fit using sigma plot (Systat Software Inc., CA) .
Copper (I)-catalyzed cycloaddition reaction between Hpg incorporated GFPhs-r5M and Aha incorporated GFPhs-r5M was performed in a reaction mixture composed of 0.5 mg/ml of each protein (250 µl), 50 mM Tris.HCl pH 8 (100 µl), 50 mM CuSO4 (50 µl), 50 mM L-ascorbic acid (50 µl), and H2O (300 µl). Control was prepared in similar way without the addition of CuSO4 and L-ascorbic acid. The reaction mixture was shaken for 24 h at 4°C, and dialyzed against 1X PBS thrice at 4°C. Finally, the reaction mixtures were analyzed by SDS-PAGE.
Structural Role of Methionine Residues in GFP
The wild-type GFP is a 27 kDa protein with a single chain polypeptide containing 238 amino acids. The protein folds into an 11 stranded β-barrel with a single α-helix running through the barrel to form a chromophore. The chromophore cyclization reaction begins once the GFP achieves its near-native like structure . The fluorescent chromophore is directly correlated with the folding status of the protein, which makes GFP an excellent model protein for protein engineering study . In the present study, GFPmut3.1b with a fast folding property bearing one N-terminal Met and five internal Met (M78, M88, M153, M218, and M233) was used as a native GFP variant, designated as GFPnt. Among the five internal Met residues, three Met residues (M78, M88, and M218) are located in the hydrophobic core of the protein and the remaining Met residues (M153 and M233) are exposed to solvent. The buried internal Met218 plays a major role in folding process by interacting with single Trp57 through sulfur-aromatic interactions, which is essential for the GFP folding process .
Engineering of Internal Met-free GFP Sequences
To generate the internal Met-free GFP sequence, mutations of internal Met residues were attempted by considering the Met locations in the GFP structure. First, mutation of the surface exposed two Met residues (M153 & M233) in GFP was performed. Since the amino acid residues on the protein surface are relatively insensitive to mutations , , the two Met residues were mutated simply based on previous results instead of rigorous mutation studies. It was reported that the M153T mutation of GFP suppressed the aggregation of GFP . For the M233 residue, our previous study informed that it was tolerable to the mutation of Lys . Thus, the M153T and M233K variant of GFPnt, designated as GFPnt-r2M, was generated and the effect of mutation on the GFP activity and productivity were examined. GFPnt-r2M showed similar whole cell fluorescence (Figure 2) and soluble expression level (Figure S1A) with GFPnt, indicating that the mutations did not affect the GFP folding and activity significantly as expected.
The data show the whole cell fluorescences of GFPnt (containing all the 5 internal Met), GFPnt-r2M (containing M153T and M233K mutations), GFPnt-r3M (containing M153T, M233K and M218A mutations), GFPnt-r4M (M78I, M88L, M153T and M233K mutations), GFPnt-r5M (M78I, M88L, M153T, M218A and M233K mutation) and GFPhs-r5M (GFPnt-r5M containing mutations for folding enhancement). The relative fluorescence (in arbitrary units) is the fluorescence of whole cells compared with the fluorescence of cells expressing GFPnt.
As next step, we attempted to replace the remaining three internal Met residues (M78, M88, and M218) of GFPnt-r2M in the core hydrophobic region with other amino acids. Actually it was reported that the three Met residues can be mutated into other residues without affecting significantly the fluorescence of cells expressing the GFP variant (GFPrm_AM), in which M78, M88, and M218 were changed into Leu, Phe, and Ala respectively . Therefore, we introduced the three mutations into GFPnt-r2M, but the fluorescence of cells expressing the GFP variant (M78L, M88F, M153T, M218A, and M233K) was much lower than that of cells expressing GFPnt-r2M. Since different GFP sequences were used as template to generate GFPrm_AM and the Met-free GFP in this study, we decided to change the three Met residues of GFPnt-r2M step by step. The M218 residue that plays an important role in folding was randomized into hydrophobic amino acids (Leu, Ile, Val, Phe, and Ala) using oligonucleotides having degenerate codons. The clones showing fluorescence were selected manually based on their fluorescence, and a GFPnt-r2M variant having the M218A mutation, designated as GFPnt-r3M, showed the highest fluorescent among the mutants obtained. The whole cell fluorescence of the GFPnt-r3M was approximately 5 times lower than that of GFPnt-r2M (Figure 2). SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed that the reduced fluorescence of GFPnt-r3M was caused by a misfolding of the protein (Figure S1B), which highlights the importance of the M218 residue in the folding of GFP. Similarly, the other two internal Met positions (M78 and M88) in GFPnt-r2M were randomized at the same time with hydrophobic amino acids (Leu, Ile, Phe, Val, and Ala). A GFPnt-r2M variant having the M78I and M88L mutations, designated as GFPnt-r4M, showed the highest fluorescence; cells expressing GFPnt-r4M exhibited around 3-fold lower fluorescence than those expressing GFPnt-r2M (Figure 2). This result suggests that the M78 and M88 residues in the hydrophobic core are also important in GFP folding. All the three mutations, M78I, M88L, and M218A, were introduced into GFPnt-r2M, which resulted in a complete internal Met-free GFP sequence, GFPnt-r5M. However, the whole cell fluorescence of GFPnt-r5M was approximately 7 times lower than that of GFPnt-r2M (Figure 2), and GFPnt-r5M was mostly expressed as an insoluble form (Figure S1C). This confirms that the three Met residues in the hydrophobic core are very important in the formation of active GFP structure. Although it was not successful to generate an internal Met-free protein with preserved initial activity, these results suggest that the semi-rational approach based on similar physicochemical amino acids can be a handy tool for engineering a protein devoid of internal Met.
Both the three mutations M78L, M88F, and M218A in GFPrm_AM, and the mutations found in this study (M78I, M88L, and M218A) did not result in an active internal Met-free GFP variant. One thing that needs to be noted is that the starting GFP sequence to generate GFPrm_AM is a GFP variant (L024_3-3) that exhibited higher expression, better refolding behavior and higher stability than normal GFP , and thus we suspected that the properties of template GFP sequence could be an important factor for succeeding in generating an internal Met-free GFP variant. Since L024_3-3 was engineered to make GFP fluorescent with 5,5,5-trifluoroleucine, we turned to another GFP variant, superfolder GFP , which also showed improved folding properties and much more resistance to mutations than a wild type GFP. We introduced the mutations of superfolder GFP (S30R, Y39N, F64L, F99S, N105T, Y145F, M153T, V163A, I171V, and A206V) into GFPnt-r5M. It was also reported that N149K and S208L affected the folding efficiency of GFP positively, although their effects were not significant. The two mutations (N149K and S208L) were additionally introduced, and the resulting variant was named GFPhs-r5M. As shown in the Figure 2, the whole cell fluorescence of GFPhs-r5M was much higher than that of GFPnt-r5M, and approximately 2.5 times higher than GFPnt. SDS-PAGE analysis of the expressed protein confirmed that the soluble expression level of the GFPhs-r5M protein was improved significantly compared to that of GFPnt-r5M and higher than that of GFPnt (Figure S1D), suggesting that the introduced mutations improved the folding efficiency of GFPnt-r5M remarkably. Table S2 shows the protein sequence of the soluble and active internal Met-free variant, i.e. GFPhs-r5M.
N-terminal Functionalization of the Internal Met-free GFP
The GFPhs-r5M variant obtained from the above study is expressed as a functional form, and contains a Met residue only in its N-terminus, which suggests that the expression of the gene for GFPhs-r5M using the Met residue substitution method may enable the production of N-terminal functionalized GFP in vivo. To demonstrate this, the gene for GFPhs-r5M was expressed in the Met auxotrophic E. coli with the addition of Met surrogates, Hpg or Aha, according to the previously reported procedures . Hpg and Aha are unnatural amino acids containing alkyne and azide groups respectively, which are illustrated in Figure S2. The soluble expression of GFPhs-r5M with Hpg or Aha was confirmed by SDS-PAGE (Figure 3A) and the corresponding active fluorescent proteins were produced despite an approximately 20% decrease in whole cell fluorescence compared to GFPhs-r5M with Met (Figure 3B). The proteins produced were purified and analyzed by ESI-MS to identify the incorporation of Hpg or Aha. The Hpg or Aha incorporated proteins showed an exact mass shift of −22 and −5 Da corresponding to one Met residue substitution of the respective unnatural amino acids (Figure S3). The ESI-MS data in the Figure S3 also showed an incorporation efficiency of >90%. These results clearly show that active GFP with N-terminal specific functional groups with high yield could be produced using the engineered GFPhs-r5M and Met residue substitution method.
(A) Protein expression profile of GFPhs-r5M incorporated with Met analogue in E. coli M15A. GFPhs-r5M was expressed without Met (GFPhs-r5M-Neg) or with Met (GFPhs-r5M-Pos) or with Met analogues such as Hpg (GFPhs-r5M-Hpg) and Aha (GFPhs-r5M-Aha) in minimal media containing 19 amino acids. The expected size is indicated by an arrow (S, soluble fraction; I, insoluble fraction; M, molecular weight marker). (B) Whole cell fluorescence of GFPhs-r5M expressed in minimal medium without Met (GFPhs-r5M-Neg) or with Met (GFPhs-r5M-Pos) or with Met analogues such as Hpg (GFPhs-r5M-Hpg) and Aha (GFPhs-r5M-Aha). The relative fluorescence (in arbitrary units) is the fluorescence of whole cells compared with the fluorescence of cells expressing GFPhs-r5M-Pos.
Characterization of the Functionalized GFP Variants
The specific fluorescence, refolding rate and folding robustness of the N-terminal functionalized GFPhs-r5M with Hpg or Aha (designated as GFPhs-r5M-Hpg and GFPhs-r5M-Aha respectively) were compared with those of GFPhs-r5M to examine the biophysical effects of N-terminal functionalization on the protein. The biophysical properties of GFPnt were also examined and compared as a control.
As shown in Figure 4, GFPhs-r5M, GFPhs-r5M-Hpg and GFPhs-r5M-Aha exhibited similar specific fluorescence activities, which suggest that the addition of alkyne or azide on the N-terminus of the protein did not affect the protein activity negatively. On the other hand, the specific fluorescent activities of GFPhs-r5M and its derivatives were approximately 1.5–2 fold higher than that of GFPnt. This indicates that the mutations introduced into GFPnt-r5M for folding enhancement had influence on the spectral properties of protein in addition to the folding efficiency. This also suggests that the higher whole cell fluorescence of GFPhs-r5M than that of GFPnt in Figure 2 was caused by an enhancement of the specific fluorescent activity as well as by an increase in the soluble expression level.
Relative specific activity (in arbitrary units) is the fluorescence of purified protein compared with the fluorescence of purified GFPhs-r5M-Hpg.
Figure 5 shows the refolding kinetics of the GFPnt, GFPhs-r5M, and GFPhs-r5M with Hpg or Aha. Both GFPhs-r5M-Hpg and GFPhs-r5M-Aha showed similar folding rates in both the fast and slow phases compared to GFPhs-r5M, which were 4–5 fold higher folding rate compared to GFPnt. These results are correlated with the soluble expressions level of GFPnt and GFPhs-r5M (Figure S1).
Refolding kinetics was measured after denaturation in 8M urea followed by renaturation by dilution. Inlet table shows the refolding rates of GFPnt and GFPhs-r5M variants for fast and slow phase of refolding progress. Normalized fluorescence in arbitrary units was plotted against time.
The study on folding robustness was carried out by estimating the refolding tolerance of the four GFP variants to protein denaturant. The fractions of recovered fluorescence under different urea concentrations were determined after 24 hours and their C0.5 were estimated from the refolding equilibrium plot (Figure 6). The estimated C0.5 values of the GFP variants suggest that the incorporation of the unnatural amino acids has little effect on the folding robustness.
Urea-denatured protein samples were diluted in different concentrations of urea in refolding buffer and recovered fluorescence was normalized by dividing it by fluorescence of corresponding non-denatured samples diluted in similar fashion. Inlet table shows the aconcentration of urea at which the 50% of fluorescence is recovered during renaturation process under urea-unfolded conditions.
Overall, the GFPhs-r5M and its variants with N-terminal specific functional groups showed comparable biophysical properties, and their specific activity, refolding rate and folding robustness were higher than GFPnt. This suggests that the functionalized unnatural proteins produced were active and stable enough for further study such as bio-conjugation through the introduced functional groups. The results also support the possibility that the introduced mutations for GFP folding enhancement provided the GFP sequence with sufficient folding robustness to withstand the cumulative effects of internal Met-free mutations.
Protein-protein Conjugation Using the Functionalized Proteins
Azides and alkynes are highly energetic functional groups with a particularly narrow distribution of reactivity. In addition, the copper (I) catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of azide and alkyne yields 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole linked conjugates under very mild conditions such as room temperature and in an aqueous buffer. Moreover, the reaction is highly regiospecific, chemoselective and tolerant to a wide range of functional groups , , . These outstanding features of click chemistry have been extended to various bio-conjugation applications.
Protein-protein bio-conjugation reaction based on the click chemistry described above was performed to evaluate the possibility of bio-conjugation using the N-terminal specific functionalized GFPs produced in vivo. The purified GFPhs-r5M-Hpg and GFPhs-r5M-Aha containing an alkyne and azide groups, respectively, on their N-termini were incubated in the presence of CuSO4 and L-ascorbic acid to carry out the cycloaddition (Figure 7A). The bio-conjugation was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Formation of the GFPhs-r5M dimer, 55 kDa in size, was observed with a yield of approximately 50% (Figure 7B), whereas the control reaction performed without CuSO4 and L-ascorbic acid did not produce such dimer band. This suggests that the protein-protein conjugation between the N-terminal specific functionalized proteins was achieved in a site-specific manner. In the protein-protein conjugation reaction, we could observe some protein aggregation and this hampered further characterization of the conjugated protein. This problem should be solved to use the protein-protein conjugation method more efficiently.

This study has demonstrated the biological N-terminal site-specific modification of GFP with bio-orthogonally reactive groups and its application to conjugation of the protein. The preparation of GFPs with N-terminal specific functional groups could be achieved by generating the internal Met-free GFP sequence that can be properly folded and subsequent use of the Met residue-specific substitution method. The produced unnatural GFPs were sufficiently homogeneous and showed almost comparable activity and folding efficiency to the natural GFP. Finally, the protein-protein conjugation using the functionalized GFPs was successfully demonstrated. Even though it was not done in this study, the N-terminally functionalized GFPs, GFPhs-r5M-Hpg or GFPhs-r5M-Aha, can be conjugated to the N-terminally functionalized scFvs, scFv-Aha or scFc-Hpg, which were prepared in our previous study , and the resulting GFP-scFv conjugates are fluorobodies which can be used for developing biosensors and diagnostics . It is expected that the strategy employed in our study may not only enable the preparation of artificial N-terminal functionalized proteins on a large scale but also facilitate the various protein related bio-conjugation studies such as N-terminal specific glycosylation, PEGylation and labeling.
Although in vivo site-specific incorporations of unnatural amino acids into target proteins using stop codons have been successfully achieved by suppressor based methodology , this approach has not been demonstrated for the N-terminus of proteins. The Met residue-specific methodology used in this study is probably the only method to install amino acid analogues in the N-terminus of a protein, and this approach is a handy choice for N-terminal specific functionalization of target proteins when the internal Met residues of the proteins can be changed into other ones. Sometimes the internal Met residues of proteins could be replaced with other hydrophobic amino acids such as Leu, Ile, and Ala , . However, it is easily expected that Met residues could play an important role in folding and stability of proteins, and these Met residues cannot be mutated to other ones without hurting the function or structure of the proteins. One of the key points in our study is that even the protein sequences such as GFP, of which the Met residues are very sensitive to mutations, could be engineered to be an internal Met-free sequence by introducing mutations known to enhance the folding efficiency and robustness of the protein. Although the mutations previously identified were used for the enhancement of GFP folding and stability in this study, current protein engineering approaches such as directed evolution and computational protein engineering can be efficiently employed in the identification of such folding enhancement mutations for other proteins . This implies that the generation of the internal Met-free sequences which can be properly folded may not be a serious problem anymore in the preparation of the N-terminal functionalized proteins through the in vivo Met-residue specific substitution method. This also indicates that it is possible to artificially manipulate the incorporation sites of target proteins by genetically reassigning the Met codons to any sites of the internal Met-free protein sequence, which would allow the selective site-specific functionalization of a protein. In the case that the unnatural amino acids incorporated into the first Met codon is not required, it can be removed by engineering the penultimate residue with non-bulky amino acids such as Gly, Ala, Cys , , .
There are some general or specific limitations in the proposed method, which should be considered before applying the method to bio-conjugations. For example, the method may be very inefficient for the proteins with N-terminal signal sequences which can be cleaved in vivo or with hidden N-termini where the incorporated non-natural amino acids cannot be accessed once incorporated. In addition, the target proteins need to be purified to execute highly specific bio-conjugation reactions because the unnatural amino acids can also be slightly incorporated into endogenous proteins.
In our study, the mutations of the Met residues in the buried hydrophobic core regions of GFP significantly lowered the folding efficiency of GFP, which was rescued by introducing the mutations for GFP folding enhancement, the majority of which were from the superfolder GFP . According to the structural analysis of the superfolder GFP, the mutations resulted in the higher folding rate and folding robustness by inducing new noncovalent interactions involving ionized residues . For instance, the S30R mutation contributed the formation of double salt bridges with E17 and E32 and intramolecular ionic network through four residues (E17, E32, R122 and E115) located in four different adjacent β-sheets in the structure. It is presumed that this kind of superfolder mutation effect compensated the destabilization effect caused by the mutations of the three Met residues in the hydrophobic-core . The higher folding efficiency and folding robustness of GFPhs-r5M than those of GFPnt indicates that the superfolder mutations might presumably provide GFPnt-r5M with more stabilization energy than such compensating energy. On the other hand, we presume that the higher specific fluorescence of GFPhs-r5M than GFPnt might be caused by the mutations such as F64L, F99S and N149K mutations which can change the spectral properties of GFP by enhancing the hydrogen bonding networks around the chromophore , , , . Further mutagenesis and structural studies need to be performed to understand the improved folding and spectral properties of the variants more exactly.

Money Can't Buy Love
“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body. But rather, to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow, what a ride!’”
Robert Fulghum, American author
I watched the Oscars back in March. It’s kind of like a glamour and creativity Super Bowl for me. And so it was with surprise and delight that I watched Sandra Bullock win the award for best actress. Without knowing her, she always offered the
impression of being a decent and kind person, who lived in a world of vast pretense but showed none herself. Her speech attested to that fact and when I went to sleep that night, I went thinking, “Good for you Sandy, good for you!” (We are on a first name basis, of course.)
However, before the dust had time to settle on old Oscar, word broke that her husband had been involved in numerous extra-marital affairs and he turned out to be the jerk we all suspected him to be when first they wed. That night I went to sleep wondering if personal loss is a fair trade for professional success. No, surely it cannot be fair, and cannot be expected of us.
So it seems there is an ebb and flow to life that we all must accept. Even the rich and famous must accept this cycle of life. Perhaps a byproduct of the tabloids is to remind us that money can’t buy love or happiness.
This cycle would seem to suggest that all this running around trying to find balance between our personal lives and professional lives has been fruitless, and perhaps it has. Instead of fighting to keep the scales perfectly aligned, we should envision them more like waves to be ridden. Enjoy every one no matter how big or small, no matter if it is an account gained or a baseball game with your kid—each one is to be savored. And when we catch the “big one,” the perfect wave in one area of our lives, for God’s sake enjoy it. Enjoy it thoroughly and with a mindful knowledge that soon enough we will be brought back to earth for another of life’s lessons. | <urn:uuid:00af1448-5ccc-4e7b-a41d-d1681acfd0d4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://magazine.promomarketing.com/post/money-cant-buy-love/ | 2020-09-24T08:18:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973984 | 480 |
When I was in college, my roommate always cleaned our dorm room or, in later years, our apartment before we left for a break. She said she wanted to return to a clean place. (Hi, Liz!) I didn’t totally get it when we were in college, but I do now. And of course I’m going to apply it to writing.
I’ve been working through the comments from my second round of readers for my work-in-progress, and I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow.* I really didn’t think I’d get through them before I left, but I did. Woohoo! And I imagine the satisfaction I feel is similar to how my roommate felt–that when I return, I won’t be returning to a mess.
I’m not finished with this round of revision. I had three very lovely readers this round, and while a number of their comments lined up, they also offered some unique opinions that I’m still considering. But I at least made one pass through the whole manuscript and will have a decent revision to work with when I return. That’s something to be excited about.
The other day, my five-year-old said, “Mom, I’m sorry you won’t be able to work while we’re on the cruise.”
She was completely serious. Hey, at least she understands I love my work, right? I assured her that I am able to take a vacation. Well, now that I’ve tied up this task, I’m ready to pack up my bags and go party with Mickey Mouse and all the Disney princesses in Alaska. See you in ten days or so!

Representatives of every political party claim to stand up for the interests of the people they were elected to serve and, for all the disagreements over what those interests are and how best to deliver them, most of the time they probably believe it’s what they’re doing. What is much harder to believe is when local Conservative county councillors claim to be acting in Crawley’s best interests, when they are the first to fall in line when the orders are sent out from Chichester.
Last week, Cllr Duncan Crow, Leader of the Crawley Conservative Group, wrote his column under the title ‘Conservative campaign put Crawley first’ although all it really discussed was a rather selective account of how the independent Local Government Boundary Commission came up with the boundaries we will using for borough council elections in future.
Yet, I see no evidence from his group that it is Crawley and not the county council that they are putting first, constantly defending the county for the shoddy state of our roads and parking, for the under-investment in our schools and for cuts to vital services like Fire and Rescue. That may all be in the best interests of the Conservative Party, but it’s certainly not in the best interests of the town.
So, here’s my challenge to the Conservative county councillors claiming to put Crawley first: if you want people to believe you, your actions need to match up to your words and this week is the perfect opportunity to prove yourselves.
At tonight’s Full Council meeting in Crawley we will be debating a motion calling upon the county council to maintain funding for Crawley Open House and the other vulnerable peoples’ housing services they hold responsibility for, then on Friday at West Sussex County Council our petition demanding they stop the cuts–as signed by almost 15,000 people–is being debated. If you want people to believe you genuinely put the town first and don’t simply follow the orders of the Conservative Party big wigs in Chichester: don’t just do what your told, vote with us to maintain Crawley’s services. | <urn:uuid:b841ccda-b9b6-4468-a1a1-cc80da48efc0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://peterlamb.org.uk/2018/10/18/crawley-observer-column-wednesday-17th-october-2018/ | 2020-09-24T08:53:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.95848 | 437 |

The selective, direct hydrogenation of amides to the corresponding alcohols and amines with cleavage of the C-N bond was discovered. The expected products of C-O cleavage are not formed (except as traces in the case of anilides). The reaction proceeds under mild pressure and neutral, homogeneous conditions using a dearomatized, bipyridyl-based PNN Ru(II) pincer complex as a catalyst. The postulated mechanism involves metal-ligand cooperation by aromatization- dearomatization of the heteroaromatic pincer core and does not involve hydrolytic cleavage of the amide. The simplicity, generality, and efficiency of this environmentally benign process make it attractive for the direct transformations of amides to alcohols and amines in good to excellent yields.

MUK Sparks Vs YMCA Lady Hamsters, 6:30 PM
City Oilers Vs JKL Dolphins, 8:30 PM
City Oilers and JKL Dolphins will be targeting to return to winning ways when both sides face off at YMCA court in Wandegeya, Kampala.
Both sides come into the game with a similar 3-2 record – won three and lost twice, and similarly, those two losses have come in their last two games each, as well.
After falling to UCU Canons and Warriors back to back, City Oilers will be on pressure to end this poor streak to put their chances of getting a good regular season spot on the log, in limelight.
JKL Dolphins on the other end have already proved that they want to go further than a playoff semis and they have to reaffirm this, in games like this. They beat Betway Power for their third win but losses against KIU Titans and Ndejje have been setbacks.
To beat Oilers, JKL will have to be near perfect – defend better, shoot better, avoid reckless turnovers and of course, getting the best from their bench.
Most important of all, JKL’s stars like Brian Namake have got to step up in such games. He has been a real shadow of himself from last season’s brilliance.
Good works from JKL’s new signings mostly Daniel Manoja, Bernard Okumu and Joseph Wacha have lifted the side, especially in their first games in wins against KCCA, Kampala University and Power. But its the consistency which will be the biggest key at the end of the season.
City Oilers have won the last four meetings against JKL. They beat them 72-67 and 78-66 in regular season. They had won both games 80-65 and 73-37 in 2017.
After their loss against Warriors, Oilers Coach Mandy Juruni blamed injuries on most of his players, and its something that JKL must capitalise on to pull a shocker. | <urn:uuid:ea8b0677-a798-4c43-849d-c366bb32cf07> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://the-sportsnation.com/2019/05/15/nbl-city-oilers-jkl-dolphins-seek-return-to-winning-ways/ | 2020-09-24T07:07:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.96997 | 451 |
“So Rainbow, do both of your mothers work?” Mrs. Thompson took a drag off her cigarette, a long, brown Saratoga that smelled like an old, well-worn sock. Calvin felt his palms instantly break into a sweat as his mom’s blue eyes raked over his and Rain’s joined hands. He could see the tip of her tail twitching beneath the kitchen table, a sure sign that she was about to perform a train wreck. They hadn’t been there for even five minutes.
Rainbow’s eyes drew down into slits and she stiffened, the casual smile she had been wearing when Cal had introduced her dropping off like a heavy slice of pizza from a flimsy paper plate.
“I’m sorry?” Rain cocked her head slightly. “I don’t have two mothers Mrs. Thompson.”
Calvin watched his mom lay her cigarette in the plastic, yellow ashtray and reach for the bag of cheese puffs. Her tail curled smoothly around the scratched, rusty metal table leg, coppery scales shimmering in the smoke-laced sunbeam coming through the window above the sink. Rain wouldn’t see it. She couldn’t. Calvin had accepted long ago that spotting tails and horns was his own special way of being different. He lived with it because he had no other option. To the right of the bag was a ramekin filled with what looked and smelled like horseradish, the color a near-perfect match to his mother’s home-dyed hair. Not taking her eyes from Rain she moved her hand unerringly to the ramekin and dipped an orange puff, twisting it slightly to get a thick coating on the submerged end.
“No? I thought names like Rainbow and Starshine were used only by lesbians.” The puff disappeared into her mouth and her narrow jaw closed in a perfect imitation of a cow chewing grass, side to side, grinding the food down to a pulp. The smell of the horseradish blossomed outward, mixing horribly with the smell of fresh tobacco smoke and stale ashtray.
“I’m afraid not,” Rainbow said shortly. “My mother is Ojibwa and my dad is an engineer.” Her eyes followed the cheese puff, tracking it all the way into Mrs. Thompson’s mouth. “You know, the guy who drives the train?” Rainbow didn’t back down from much. It was one of things that Calvin really liked about her. Still, he eyed the old green refrigerator that was humming grumpily next to the hallway and wished he were ten years old and could still hide behind it.
“That’s too bad,” Mrs. Thompson said licking at the cheesy, orange dust on her fingers. “I would have loved to ask a few questions about the living habits of lesbians.” She reached for another cheese puff. “So what is oh-jib-wha? Some kind of indian?” Rain’s left eyebrow popped upward and she froze, her hand clamping tightly onto Calvin’s.
“Native American!” she snapped. “You know what? I have something else I need to do today. I wish I could say it has been a pleasure but, it hasn’t.” Rainbow wrenched her hand from Calvin’s grasp and stormed out the kitchen door letting the screen slam shut behind her. Calvin stared after her, his mouth hanging open in shock.
“Oh dear,” his mother said with a soft laugh. “You better go after her Cal, I think she may have misunderstood.” Clipping his jaw closed Calvin looked at his mother in outrage.
“Jesus Christ, mom! Why do you have to say every little thing that pops into your head?”
“What?” Another well-coated cheese puff made its way toward the maw. “What are you talking about?” Crunch, crunch.
“AAHHHHHhhhhh!” He threw up his hands in frustration and stalked out the door after Rain.
Rainbow was already at the bus stop by the time he caught up with her. She was standing like a statue with her head down, apparently trying to burn the sidewalk with her anger. Panting from the run he stopped in front her, searching for some kind of explanation to offer. He didn’t know what to say and actually expected to hear the worst from her. She was the first girl he had ever taken home to meet his mother. Not that he had a colorful history with women but more often than not had found himself pushed quickly into the friend zone. Rainbow had been a first in many ways for him and, judging by the look on her face just then, she could very well be the last. He said the only thing that came to mind.
“Rain, I’m sorry.”
Rainbow lifted her head to look at him and Calvin was struck by the particular shade of green in her eyes, the result of merging so perfectly with the chestnut-like brown. He wasn’t sure if anyone had ever felt weak in the knees before by hazel eyes but he certainly did. Her face was still flushed with anger, those beautiful eyes snapping off sparks. Long wisps of her black hair fluttered in the cool winter breeze, making him think of strands of cotton candy in the machine at the county fair. Calvin’s stomach tightened painfully in pre-grief. He missed her already.
Rainbow took a deep breath and the emotion visibly drained out of her, almost like a valve had been opened to release the enormous pressure within. Surprising him completely she reached for his hand and smiled.
“Does she have a tail?”
Calvin felt his shoulders drop from their painful position around his ears and his stomach stopped eating itself as their fingers entwined. He exhaled, unaware he had been holding his breath.
“The largest one you’ll never see,” he said and gave her a shaky smile. “She is the Gargoyle Queen.”

If you are like me, most of the direction your life has taken can be explained by circumstances you have encountered.
As a mom, I welcomed my second son into the world in a very normal way. In the days that followed his birth, I was quickly overcome with issues that began to present themselves. Although a relatively easy going baby, he would scream, not just cry, but scream, in such agony, every time I bathed him. I would end up a crying mess right along with him. Being a relatively new mom, I just figured he really did not like baths. As time went on, I started to notice other problems developing with his skin.
My second son was born in 2007. It was right around this time that tag-less clothes were being introduced in children's clothes. My poor little guy developed a sore right exactly at the spot on his back where the "tag-less" tag was affixed to all of his clothes. It didn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that the "tag-less" tag was the cause of the problem. I have no idea how many other children suffered from this issue, but I came to figure out that the "tag-less" tag was causing a chemical burn on my baby's skin. He was having a reaction to the materials and chemicals used to create these tags. I solved the problem for myself, by sewing a piece of cotton fabric into all of his clothes over the "tag-less" tags and the sore healed up and disappeared. My solution came after spending a lot of time and money visiting doctors and applying creams with no improvement to the problem.
This discovery lead us, my husband and I, to the thought that maybe the problem with the bath was the soap. We tried a bunch of different options of soaps for sensitive skin and found one that resulted in a happy bath. I was the only one crying during the first happy bath, and my tears were tears of joy! The baby soap we had been using prior to this was actually causing his skin to sting.
So it was established my son had sensitive skin, very sensitive. We have since struggled with laundry detergent, sun screen, and yes even fabric content of his clothing. My son will break out into a skin rash if he wears shirts made from most synthetic fibers. All the very popular athletic apparel, his sports uniforms, all of it causes a reaction on his skin when he wears it, unless we add a layer of cotton in between the synthetics and his skin. Which finally brings me back to Natural Fibers.
There a many fibers out there today that are man made, engineered using plastic, and a few other cellulose fibers, like bamboo. The cellulose fibers, like bamboo, are broken down and then reconstructed using chemicals and polymers to make the fibers which are then woven into fabrics.
There are many people who think these synthetic fibers are revolutionary and fabulous, offering superior insulating properties, the convenience of easy care, and freedom from wrinkles and special washing requirements. Synthetic fibers are often marketed as Eco friendly, because they use recycled materials or renewable resources, like bamboo.
The question I have about Synthetic fibers is what is in them? How are they made? Are they truly good for us and our environment?
There is something in the synthetic fabrics that causes my son great discomfort in the form of itching and horrible skin rashes. I have spent a great deal of time researching fabrics and what they are made of, to help resolve my son's skin issues.
Natural fibers include linen, cotton, wool and silk. Natural fibers have fabulous insulating and wicking properties and offer protection from UVA and UVB rays naturally. Wool, as an example, has natural properties that cause it to be stain resistant, and an unwelcome environment for things like dust mites. It is true that the natural fibers can require more time and effort to care for properly, but with the natural fibers what you see is what you get. There are no surprise hidden ingredients.
Don't get me wrong, innovation is great. We need new ideas and developments, with purpose. The reality is that synthetic fibers offer some improvements including the convenience of the reduced effort required to maintain our clothes, but what is the cost we are paying for this convenience?
I know there is a need for synthetic fabric and fibers. I use them. I just do not want synthetic fabric and fibers to be my only choice, and they will not typically be my first choice. We all have different perspectives and needs and life circumstances that will guide our decisions. I just truly believe that it is important to be educated about our choices beyond what the marketing world decides we need to know.
I discovered the importance of Natural Fibers through my son's skin. I love Natural Fibers simply because of what they are, and I embrace the culture of all the hardworking entrepreneurs out there making, farming, carding, weaving and creating a part of the American story once again.

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are non-native organisms that have been brought from other places into Alberta’s water. These species cause, or have high potential to cause, harm to our environment, economy, and human health as they become established outside their natural range. Many AIS are very difficult to eradicate once they are established, so prevention is essential.
Below you can find the AIS pocket guide, which will help active stewards become more familiar with the 52 prohibited species as well as additional species and fish diseases of concern in Alberta.
Responses to AIS
Alberta Environment and Parks is working closely with a variety of stakeholders. Together, we have developed a program that includes these components:
- rapid response planning
- education and outreach
- watercraft inspections
The AIS Program response actions used to detect, assess and respond to AIS introduction in Alberta are guided by the Alberta Aquatic Invasive Species Early Detection Rapid Response Plan. This plan provides a consistent framework for response as well as to identify the roles and responsibilities of government and stakeholders. Additionally, the AIS Program provides annual reports highlighting the program year and the priorities for the upcoming year.
Keeping Alberta waters free of AIS is a high priority, and the province has formed an Inter-Provincial Territorial Agreement for Co-ordinated Regional Defence Against Invasive Species to keep these invaders out.
- News: Western Canada unites in fight against invasive species (June 6, 2016)
What can you do to help?
There are a few main actions we ask you to take to help prevent the spread of AIS and diseases.
Don’t let it loose
Common aquarium and pond species can become invasive when released into the wild. Releasing pond water, fish, plants or other aquatic species is illegal in Alberta.
Clean, drain, dry your gear
If you are transferring a watercraft or equipment used in water (that is, hip waders, life jackets, kayaks, construction equipment, etcetera) between waterbodies, make sure to properly clean, drain and dry between uses.
Visit the pages below to find information boaters need to follow to help stop the spread of AIS:
How to clean, drain and dry your type of boat.
Quagga and zebra mussels
One of Alberta’s main concerns regarding invasive species is the possibility of invasive mussels. Specifically, quagga and zebra mussels, which pose a significant threat to Alberta's aquatic ecosystems and economy as they are virtually impossible to eradicate.
Do you think you've spotted a quagga or zebra mussel? Remember, an attached mussel is an invasive mussel.
Report it to Alberta's invasive species hotline at 1-855-336-BOAT (2628).
Invasive mussels are filter feeders that strain suspended matter and food particles out of the water, disrupting natural food chains and leading to a depleted fishery (fewer and smaller fish) as the fish don't have enough food.
Invasive mussels attach to hard substrates in the water, blanketing any surface and reproducing at extremely fast rates. Females can produce up to one million eggs every year, and there is no natural predator in Alberta.
Quagga and zebra mussels move from lake to lake by attaching themselves to boats and other recreational equipment. The adults can survive for 30 days out of water, while the veligers (larval stage) can survive in standing water for long periods of time.
If a mussel infestation occurred in Alberta, the province is estimating a total cost of $75,000,000 annually to protect and replace water operated infrastructure (such as drinking water systems, power generation and irrigation), and in lost revenue from recreational fishing. This estimate includes decreasing property values and increased boat maintenance costs for the individual Albertan.
Zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha)
- originally from Russia, now found in various parts of North America, such as in Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba as of October 2013
- 1 to 3 cm, triangular-shaped shell
- live up to 5 years
Quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis)
- originally from Ukraine, now found in various parts of North America, such as in the Colorado River system – a popular destination for Alberta snowbirds
- 1 to 3 cm, D-shaped shell
- live up to 5 years
- more adaptable than zebra mussels – can attach to softer substrates and survive in colder water

It’s officially Spook-tober around here! We have been decorating outdoors all weekend long, and my body sure doesn’t feel as youthful as it once did after two long days of bending and climbing. That’s right, you can see what I mean by checking out last year’s Outdoor Halloween Tour. It’s a big deal around here ya’ll. I can’t wait to take pictures so I can share! (BAM! See our 2014 outdoor tour here now!)
Today I’ve got a not-so-spooky project to share…a super simple way to make your very own personalized Halloween hand towels!
Aren’t these fun? I made these using Transfer Artist Paper:
This is supposed to work on many surfaces, but so far I’ve had the best luck on fabric. It works amazingly well on fabric! (This is NOT a sponsored post by the way, I just love this product!)
I just print out the image I want to transfer in the reverse. In this case, I used a photo I found online and added my own words using the “A Lolita Scorned” font:
You could personalize it with your family name or anything you want.
I found a hand towel at TJ Maxx and already had a cotton napkin and black ribbon:
I ironed the graphic onto the napkin.
Then I cut it about two inches above and below the image, and ironed the top and bottom edges over. I kept the original side seams in tact.
Next I sewed the black ribbon to the napkin using a zigzag stitch:
Then I centered the panel on the hand towel and sewed in place, close to the bottom edge:
I folded the sides over and sewed them in place also.
Cute, no? The only thing spooky about this is the word “spooky” printed on it.
It’s perfect in my downstairs guest bathroom that we already added a few spooky touches to…
Here are a couple of pretty projects that I’ve used this paper on:
My next project is not Halloween related, but I’ll be sharing my outdoor tour very soon! My new Halloween Wreath is feeling right at home!
Are you decorating for Halloween?
If you like what you see, there are several ways to follow along!
I love to share at some of these great parties:

Such a dream isn’t farfetched as there are many ways you can ensure you reach your goal. Below, we’ll be discussing everything you need to know to make your dreams come true. So, keep reading.
What Type Of Content Will You Post?
To be a social media influencer, you need a niche of people following you. To get such an audience, you need to post relevant content that will be entertaining to them. Because of this, you need to decide what type of content you’ll be posting before you take the leap.
The content you post should revolve around something that is popular. For example, food, fashion or travel. Otherwise, you won’t find many people being interested in what you have to say.
Your content should also be something you like talking about. Otherwise, you’ll run out of ideas very soon, leaving your account dry.
Break The Internet
Being new, you need to do something that will divert people to your account. You can do this by breaking the internet. This means you have to do something that’ll go viral. This will cause people to share your post repeatedly, causing more people to find you.
Hashtags Are Your Friends
By hashtagging your content, people can find you by searching the hashtag. As you can imagine, this can lead a lot of people to you which is why you need to regularly tag your posts. If you do some research, you’ll find out what the most common hashtags are, using them to boost your views.
Sponsor Your Posts
You should sponsor your posts as much as possible. It works similar to hashtagging but better as your content shows up in the middle of people’s feeds. Thus, you increasing your brand’s awareness.
The content you’ve decided to sponsor should be one of your best as otherwise, you won’t lure people in.
Once you’re an influencer, you’re a force to be reckoned with. Because brands will want to work with you because of your following- you can find more details here. So, you should be ready to invest money for your account’s success.
If you have regular giveaways, you’ll entice more people to interact with you as they’ll want to win what you’re offering. With giveaways being the norm, you’ve attracted more and more people. Hopefully, they stay with you and check your content regularly because it’s entertaining.
Are You A People Person?
To be an influencer, you need to be a people person. If not, you’ll find it hard to gain a following. This means you should be empathic and be able to reach out to your audience as much as possible. Because your fans are the people that keep you afloat. So, they need constant appreciation if you want to succeed.
If you’re not a people person, don’t worry. You can trick your followers into thinking you are by hiring someone to manage your account. They’ll interact with your audience base as much as possible, making people think it’s really you.
Whether it be you or the manager, the constant interactions will make your following more loyal which is what we want.

A weekend getaway if you have $2 million spare that is. It is admittedly sitting on 48 acres in the hinterland behind the beautiful beachside resort of Noosa here in Queensland. Yes it is very stylish. It does have a lovely view. The way it seamlessly blends inside and out and tempts you to live most of the year on its decks or by the pool is very appealing. It’s just that I’ll never be able to afford the price tag. A girl can dream and in those dreams it’s a girls weekend away. Champers on the deck at sunset.

Novel Coronavirus Outbreak (2019-nCoV) - Spread & Transmission
How 2019-nCoV Spreads
Much is unknown about how 2019-nCoV, a new coronavirus, spreads. Current knowledge is largely based on what is known about similar coronaviruses. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in many different species of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people such as with MERS, SARS, and now with 2019-nCoV.
Most often, spread from person-to-person happens among close contacts (about 6 feet). Person-to-person spread is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza and other respiratory pathogens spread. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. It’s currently unclear if a person can get 2019-nCoV by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.
Typically, with most respiratory viruses, people are thought to be most contagious when they are most symptomatic (the sickest). With 2019-nCoV, however, there have been reports of spread from an infected patient with no symptoms to a close contact.
It’s important to note that how easily a virus spreads person-to-person can vary. Some viruses are highly contagious (like measles), while other viruses are less so. There is much more to learn about the transmissibility, severity, and other features associated with 2019-nCoV and investigations are ongoing.
How Other Coronaviruses Spread
Human coronaviruses most commonly spread from an infected person to others through
- the air by coughing and sneezing
- close personal contact, such as touching or shaking hands
- touching an object or surface with the virus on it, then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes before washing your hands
- rarely, fecal contamination
In the United States, people usually get infected with common human coronaviruses in the fall and winter. However, you can get infected at any time of the year. Most people will get infected with one or more of the common human coronaviruses in their lifetime. Young children are most likely to get infected. However, people can have multiple infections in their lifetime.

Q&A: Why Customers Won't Take Your Outbound Calls
Frustrated your customers don't answer?
Contact centers across industries are facing ever-increasing difficulties in contacting their customers.

The Columbus Dispatch
January 9, 2014
An Indiana National Guardsman was arrested outside Columbus on New Year’s Day after a state trooper found nearly 50 bombs and the blueprints for a Navy SEAL training facility inside his car, the Madison County prosecutor said yesterday.
Andrew Scott Boguslawski, 43, also had a remote-control device to detonate the bombs, Madison County Prosecutor Stephen Pronai said. Boguslawski’s civilian job is as a groundskeeper at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in south-central Indiana. Prosecutors could not say definitively yesterday whether the blueprints in his car were for the facility where he worked.
Boguslawski also had a bulletproof vest in his car, Pronai said.
“He said something to the trooper about making a bomb vest,” Pronai said.
Lt. Col. Cathy Van Bree, a spokeswoman for the Indiana National Guard, said Boguslawski is a specialist in the guard who does intelligence analysis and has top-secret clearance.

The Cuvier’s beaked whale is a rather robust animal that can measure up to seven metres in length. It has a slightly bulbous melon (forehead), no prominent beak and a small curved dorsal fin. In adult males, two forward-pointing teeth can protrude from the tip of the lower jaw, visible when the mouth is closed. There is a slight depression in the body beneath each pectoral fin, known as the ‘flipper pocket’. Colouration is predominantly dark grey, but with a pale grey melon, light coloured lower jaw and pale patch from the melon to the dorsal fin. There is a pale grey chevron marking under the chin. Oval scars caused by parasites or predators are common in older animals as well as linear marks due to intraspecific fighting between males. This tends to be a quite elusive animal and most of what is known comes from strandings data.
The most important threat for this species is likely anthropogenic noise, responsible for significant mortality in Greece and the Mediterranean Sea in general. | <urn:uuid:cee876a5-cb05-4c4f-8d28-e4e527b115c9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ioniandolphinproject.org/species-guide/cuviers-beaked-whale/ | 2020-09-24T07:33:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.950967 | 219 |

My analysis of this NYT piece is that Bush and the Republicans are betting that they can portray as irresponsible and unpatriotic the Democrats in Congress who decline to give Bush all the war funding he wants. The Democrats are betting that the public desperately wants them to stop the Iraq War, which is hemorrhaging money and costing American lives, all for goals that are unclear. If I were a betting man, I’d put a big bet on the Democrats in this regard, and even without a bet I predict that the Republicans are going to suffer an earthquake-like reversal next November.
Iran and the US have agreed with one another to conduct a further round of talks on improving security in Iraq. Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, the leader of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq (ISCI) has been working hard on setting up such a meeting. He was in Iran for several months this fall undergoing chemotherapy.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has expressed severe reservations about the ISCI plan to create a Shiite regional confederacy out of 8 provinces in southern Iraq. If al-Maliki breaks with ISCI on this issue, he may lose his largest remaining Shiite partner. On the narrow issue of centralized government, the Sadr Movement will support him (as will the Sunni Arabs in parliament). But they do not like him on a lot of other issues and without ISCI I cannot see how al-Maliki can survive politically.
Al-Maliki also launched a diatribe against Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi, a fundamentalist Sunni, for, he said, having declined to sign 26 bills sent him for signature by parliament. All three members of the presidential council have to sign off on all laws. The Arabic original of the al-Hayat interview on which the NYT story is based is reprinted here at Sawt al-Iraq.
A transcript of my appearance on the Lehrer News Hour (PBS) is now on the web.
The Asia Times reports on the dire situation of Falluja, a city some have been extolling as a symbol of Iraq’s turnaround.
The Associated Press continues to point out that the US military’s charges against Pulitzer prize-winning photographer, Bilal Hussein, remain infuriatingly vague. Hussein’s American colleagues, who worked closely with him, tend to find the charges completely implausible, and AP says it has never been given convincing specifics. Since the US military and the Iraqi government both have an interest in the violence in Iraq not being documented, they are highly interested parties when it comes to prosecuting photographers. Interested parties need to be double-checked when they can act as judge, jury and executioner. The US holds 24,000 Iraqis, with many of them having never been charged with anything. Some number of them are only guilty of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or having the wrong friends.

"If music could be Ebola, this would be it.” “Is this the extremely overrated band I’ve been hearing about from all the scene kids?” And the quite eloquently, succinctly put: “This is crap.” These are just a few of the more print-friendly comments on the YouTube video for Black Veil Brides’ most recent single, Heart Of Fire.
The tittle-tattle of back-and-forth arguments, casual homophobia and language none of these keyboard warriors would dare say in front of their mums is nothing new to the Hollywood five-piece. Ever since their emergence into the public consciousness, for all the hearts that the band have stolen, there has been an ever-present notion spread through the rock and metal community that it is simply not OK to like this band. When frontman Andy Biersack was growing up listening to wailing guitar solos and looking to form a band of his own, he certainly never had any intention of being rock’n’roll’s public enemy number one.
“The one thing I always try to be clear about is that I don’t enjoy it,” says the singer. “I don’t revel in any sort of negativity. I don’t ever make a record under the pretence of, ‘I can’t wait for people to hate it!’ I think that it’s very childish, the ‘haters make me famous’ argument. I try to argue that some people just hate you!”
While Andy may not be seeking out the ill feeling that comes his way, it is clear he has long come to terms with it. The maturity and level-headed attitude he approaches the subject with makes it easy to forget that he is just 24 years old. He has fared far better than many would being called the sort of names that would force a sailor to wash his own mouth out with soap. However, something that does irk him is that much of the anger is misplaced and simply comes from individuals misinterpreting the band.
“It boggles my mind that people can’t see it for what it is. I would end up banging my head against a wall until I was bloody if I thought about it,” says the clearly frustrated Californian. “Things that are said about the makeup, especially in the early days – it seems to be completely
lost on people that that has always been a huge element to the aesthetic of rock’n’roll. It’s funny to me that one of my heroes, Axl Rose, who was always celebrated as being a guy’s guy, would wear thongs, but no one would question him. Yet if I wear makeup and have black hair, it’s offensive.”
Regardless of the abuse and false accusations thrown his way, strip away the makeup and hair dye and at the man’s core is a rock’n’roll spirit that surges through his veins:
“Do I live for this? Absolutely. I never wanted to do anything else.”
Perhaps Black Veil Brides were never meant to be global superstars. Perhaps a lot of the hatred towards them comes from the fact that this is a band that gleefully stuck out and wanted to capture everyone’s attention, good or bad. One thing is for certain, though, and that is that Black Veil Brides were going to succeed on their own terms; nothing was going to change from Andy’s vision in order to alleviate the criticisms or make them fit in.
“We had to fight through to get any kind of recognition,” he explains. “I don’t think I’ve ever been someone who has been very interested in what the rule book was, or how you should do things, or how you should dress. When rock music died a death you had all these guys that were copying things that made someone else popular. ‘Oh, well, that guy has long hair, and he parties, and sings songs about fucking girls.’ When you get to that point, it becomes so homogenised that there is no personality behind it.”
His bloody-minded attitude has certainly bred itself into the band’s music, with themes of standing strong in the face of adversity and being true to yourself being prevalent. Far from the poseur tag that many throw in the direction of BVB, they offer something many of rock’s greatest bands have: a place for the outsider. It’s a message steeped in positivity for the teenager at school being bullied, or those feeling like they don’t have a place to fit in. This is a band that is saying it is ok to be different and to appreciate yourself for who you are. It’s a message that Andy developed for himself growing up.
“I grew up in a small town, I was not popular,” he reflects. “I was not the classic archetype of a nerd, I was just different. I didn’t fit in. I was never the guy that liked songs [saying], ‘I’m going to kill everyone at my school.’ I thought that was kind of silly. I thought that if someone didn’t like you, it’s not necessarily their fault. You should be yourself and meet someone who does like you for who you are. I think we’ve been very fortunate to evoke that within the fanbase, that feeling of strength of self. I believe that our audience, despite the fact that they are constantly taken to task, are intelligent people, willing and honest enough to be kind. The action of being kind and accepting is so vilified that it makes me cringe.”
Andy constantly references how much his fans mean to him and how grateful he is to have
such a “ferocious fanbase” behind him. The band’s detractors are merely an afterthought when it comes to what the self-proclaimed ‘BVB Army’ have helped the band achieve. Massive worldwide tours, huge record sales, a plethora of awards and – the latest checkbox off the bucket list – working with legendary producer Bob Rock on their new, self-titled album. It was an experience Andy describes as “incredible”, and he explains that not only did Bob help them improve as musicians and writers, but he helped make the band become stronger than they have ever been.
“Half a decade into touring together, sometimes you can become detached,” he muses. “I think we’ve been able to grow back together as a band, which is a rare occurrence. Bob was certainly instrumental in that and brought us together in a way I think we’ll always be indebted to him for.”
With Black Veil Brides now a world-beating gang being fronted by a determined leader, it’s safe to assume they are gunning for the same dizzy heights of much of the impressive resumé of bands that Bob Rock has worked with. Anyone who witnessed the ramps, big screens and pyro of their recent UK tour (see page 104) has seen firsthand their desire to keep the legacy of huge, awe-inspiring rock shows in the vein of Metallica and Mötley Crüe going strongwell into the 21st century.
“Someone has to do it!” insists Andy. “If you go and see Avenged Sevenfold, you’re going to see a magnificent show. But if you go and see a lot of bands of a similar stature, you won’t get that show. It seems unfair; if people are going to come and spend their hard-earned money to see a show, you should give them every ounce of yourself, and every ounce of the show. Large-scale rock needs to have that!”
Black Veil Brides are keeping the notion of larger-than-life rock’n’roll alive, and introducing it to a whole new generation of budding fans. While Andy acknowledges that some may mock their relatively young fanbase, ultimately, they are introducing kids to an alternative to the One Directions and Taylor Swifts of this world, and opening their eyes and ears to the joys of big riffs. The 12-year-old currently learning In The End on his guitar could be headlining Download in 20 years – a notion that sows the seeds for just how important this band could prove to be.
A look through the history books shows that the bands that are hated are often the same bands loved with a passion. Unlike those that simply sit and stagnate around the second stage at festivals and mid-sized venues before evaporating into the rock ether, it’s the polarising artists that go onto greatness. It’s something Andy would also like to see happen with Black Veil Brides.
“I don’t see why we couldn’t be one of those bands,” he ponders. “Sometimes people are afraid to classify themselves as gods because they feel like they’re overshooting their station. Those people that are those wonderful gods in the sky we all look up to, and while they’re there for a reason, they’re also just human beings. They weren’t shit out of the sky to rock the world – they were people that worked very hard, had a dream and a vision. So I hope that we can be there one day.”

May 4, 2020
Janet Ravare Colson, 75, a native of California and Natchitoches and current resident of Opelousas, passed away Monday, May 4, 2020, at her residence surrounded by her family.
Janet was a strong, talented and selfless wife, mother, grandmother, sister, mentor, artist and researcher. When she set her mind on something you could be sure that it would not only be done but it would be world class. In addition to her family her greatest love was for her culture.
In 1997, Janet took on her most exciting role as the Director of the Louisiana Creole Heritage Center at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches where, over the course of 20 years, she worked to revitalize and bring greater visibility to the language, history and culture of the Louisiana Creole people. During her many years of service, she organized hundreds of workshops, seminars and conferences that brought local, state, national and international scholars and community leaders from various communities together to highlight the contemporary experiences and realities of Louisiana Creoles at a time when they were severely neglected or misrepresented. Her tireless work led to the expansion of literature, genealogical research and public visibility of one of the nation’s oldest and least documented ethnic and cultural groups for the advancement of future generations. She did this work not for herself but for her children, grandchildren and for the thousands of young people that she helped and mentored to find their ways home to Louisiana.
For her national and international leadership on the Creole Census along with other initiatives including several books that she authored such as The Creole Book (2012) and the highly acclaimed Creole Chronicles series, she has become known as the Mother of the Creole Cultural Revitalization Movement. Janet always said, “My daddy thought Louisiana was heaven” and now a big piece of Louisiana is for sure in heaven.
She is survived by her husband of nearly 50 years, John Colson; daughters, Teresa Colson Burns and husband Cody and Tracey Colson Antee and husband Richie; brothers, Milton Ravare and wife Joan, Steve Ravare and wife Cabrini, and Ronnie Ravare and partner Rosie; sisters, Norma Metoyer, Gail Wills and husband Charles, and Karen Bernestine and husband Arthur; six grandchildren, Hope Sprowl, Colson Fontenot, Madison Burns, Bailey Burns, Landon Fontenot and Reese Burns.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Martin Ravare and Teresa Beridon Ravare; sister, Joan Citizen; and beloved brother-in-law, Alvin Metoyer Jr. In accordance with her wishes, there will be an event at a future date to appropriately honor and celebrate her life and the impact she had on so many.
The family wishes that memorial contributions be made to support this event in making it a true Creole celebration. Contributions can be made at https://bit.ly/JanetColsonContribution or 2031 Edwards St., Opelousas LA 70570.

What is a mobility/disability aid?
The term “mobility aid” is used to describe an item or piece of equipment designed to improve a person’s mobility and independence that improves their daily living.
There are many examples of all the different types of aids that all into this broad description so a mobility can be anything from a small daily living aid, to a children’s pushchair, to large specialist rehabilitation equipment like standing frames designed for someone with a spinal injury. The most popular mobility aids tend to be smaller items that help the user walk like a cane/crutch, or help do something such as open a jar or even turn a key making life easier around the home when you start to find job you used to find easy get a little harder.
So how do I find the right mobility aid for me?
The problem with finding good mobility aids is there are so many! Catalogues of products on websites can span thousands which leaves you thinking “What mobility aid would suit me?” Fortunately a few places, including The Mobility Aids Centre Ltd , have dedicated customer service teams that can help you with this problem. Most products are related to specific medical condition so you are going to need a specific piece of medical equipment to suit your need, rather than ordering products and wasting time (and money) it’s always best to speak to one of our advisors and we will find the product that best suits what you need and give you recommendations rather than you having to try and find the needle in the haystack through the maze of products that are available on the market.
Another great way of finding a mobility aid is to see your doctor or therapist. Doctors/therapists will deal with these kind of conditions daily. They will have an extensive knowledge of what product will best suit your condition and will know what aids suit what condition to improve your everyday life.
And finally another great way is obviously through word-of-mouth, for common conditions such as Arthritis friends/family that also suffer with the condition are sure to have some things they have tried that have improved their daily living and also there are many local support groups everywhere that will be able to advise you.
If anyone else has any suggestions of how to find an aid that suits certain conditions post them in the comment section below and we hope we’ve helped you find a mobility aid that suits you. | <urn:uuid:8cc97b11-8a93-4e59-b9e0-e53dfcdde9ce> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.themobilityaidscentre.co.uk/content/finding-mobility-aids/ | 2020-09-24T08:24:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967915 | 491 |
Before Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) died, he made a list of people who couldn’t attend his funeral. That list only had two names on it:
1. Scar from The Lion King
2. President Donald Trump
It’s safe to say that if your dying wish is not to have the president of the United States at your funeral that you absolutely hate the man.
Well, it has never been said that Trump is not petty so during a visit to Japan this past weekend, White House officials—who know the president best—asked that a U.S. Navy warship that bears the Arizona Republican’s name in honor of his father and grandfather, be “out of sight” before Trump got there.
According to an email obtained by the Wall Street Journal dated May 15, the president’s arrival instructions including moving anything with McCain’s name on it out of Trump’s direct line of sight since he wouldn’t be wearing his MAGA blockers, which normally keep people who detest his presidency out of his vision.
“USS John McCain needs to be out of sight,” the email reportedly read. “Please confirm #3 will be satisfied.”
From the Hill:
Officials, including acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan, were aware of the concern about the USS John McCain and approved measures so it would not be visible during Trump’s visit, an official told the Wall Street Journal.
The ship has been stationed at the Yokosuka Naval Base near the USS Wasp, where Trump delivered Memorial Day remarks and visited U.S. officers. The Journal also reported that sailors on the ship, who normally wear caps with its name, were given the day off when Trump gave his address.
An anonymous White House senior aide told the Washington Post that the request was not made with Trump’s input but it was done to keep the president happy. Photographs of the ship with tarp covering McCain’s name began surfacing on Friday, but a senior Navy official ordered the tarp removed on Saturday before Trump’s arrival.
A Navy official said that the crew of the USS John McCain was released early for the long weekend, not because of Trump’s visit.
Trump took to Twitter to note that he had no idea that the ship was being moved to serve him.
But we all know that because Trump is an irrational baby, White House officials’ jobs are basically to find things that might upset him and remove them before the president can see them and get upset.
McCain’s daughter and voice of lunacy on The View, Meghan McCain, called Trump “a child.”
Trump visited two military outfits where he wished troops a “very happy Memorial Day,” which is odd AF considering it is a designated day to remember all the soldiers who’ve died. You’d think his aides would’ve told him that wishing troops a “happy” Memorial Day is akin to wishing a grieving mom a “happy funeral day.”
Trump continues to be an American embarrassment and the fact that a destroyer commemorating a U.S. war hero’s family was taken out of the president’s line of sight because it would hurt his feelings is petty AF. | <urn:uuid:72b5db98-dd4a-4ca8-90ec-b8496659ac37> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.theroot.com/white-house-asked-for-the-uss-john-mccain-to-be-out-of-1835122656 | 2020-09-24T09:49:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.979498 | 695 |
As we’re closing in another New Year, and at least the illusion of a clean slate, it seems as good a time as any to think about ways to improve ourselves. (Assuming, of course, that the Mayans and Nostradamus are wrong about the world ending around this time next year, making us all look silly.)
I have main two areas of focus for my self-improvement efforts (well, three, if you count trying to ignore doomsayers like the Mayans, Nostradamus, the Rapture guy, and the folks who are Occupying Wall Street all over the country).
The first is to improve my relationship with the digital devices in my life. We just had a rough patch with a new computer whose ports didn’t fit any of my existing devices (again), a broadband modem which took about 20 hours over three days to discover doesn’t work yet with Lion 10.7 (which my cellular company knew about but neglected to mention to me or their “helpline” folks), and a new iPhone that seems to require more set up than the launch of a new mutual fund. Still, I acknowledge my part in all this, and resolve to make a genuine effort to understand the needs of each new device, and then whole-heartedly strive to meet those needs.
Second, I resolve to more resolutely resist the temptation to follow our current cultural path to be either rabidly for, or violently against things, with no room for rational thought or debate. For instance, I have little doubt that the Iraq war would have gone a lot better in much shorter time if, rather than simply shouting “Yes, War!” or “No, Peace!” at each other, we would have had a public debate about exactly what we were going to do, how long it would take and how we would know when we accomplished our goals.
More closer to home on the financial front, we have another classic example of the House Republicans who are so “against regulations” that we can’t have a rational discussion of what changes are necessary to increase much needed investor protections. Meanwhile, the Washington Democrats are so “pro-regulation” they rammed Dodd-Frank into law, before we even identified the causes of the Market Meltdown, creating (among other things) new loan regulations that are so Draconian they are actually preventing new home loans from being made, thereby extending the housing crisis indefinitely.
Sure, some regulations needlessly hurt business while others are necessary consumer protections. Perhaps we all could resolve to take ourselves and our ideas a little less seriously, and intelligently sort out the very serious problems that confront us with a little less polarization—including distinguishing the regulations we really need from those that will have foreseeable “unintended consequences” that are worse than the problems we are trying to solve.
That’s my 2012 Kumbaya moment. I hope you have an extra Happy New Year, just in case the Mayans and Nostradamus have it right. | <urn:uuid:c38a7537-6605-44af-99c7-3fba48d37d16> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thinkadvisor.com/2011/12/21/bob-clarks-2012-new-years-resolutions-getting-digi/ | 2020-09-24T07:43:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969285 | 628 |
Three Ways to Create Calmness Before Bed
The information provided herein is for educational purposes only and is not intended to be construed as medical advice or to replace professional medical care. You should always seek the advice of a medical professional before starting any new medication or dietary supplement, as well as when starting new exercise regimens. The opinions stated herein are those solely of the writer, who has been compensated by the up4® Probiotics brand, and do not portray the opinions of the brand, i-Health, Inc. or DSM.
We all know how important sleep is, yet how many of us actually get a full eight hours of high-quality sleep a night? Some of us might make it a priority with exceptions here and there. Perhaps you’re going on an exciting trip and you can’t fall asleep, or you choose to go to a late-night concert, or maybe you’re a new parent. Whatever your reason, we have all gone nights without getting the full eight hours. But what about those of us who haven’t had a full eight hours in months, or even years?
Scientists are finding that lack of sleep can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and the common cold. Our immune health needs all the support it can get, and sleep plays a major role. Other ways to support your immune health are with healthy foods, exercise and up4® Probiotics.* Health is a big deal, and it’s time we make it a real priority.
With the hustle and bustle of today’s world, I get that it might be hard to unwind after a crazy day. Here are a few things that help me and I hope help you!
- Yoga. I don’t mean the fast flow kind right before bed, but rather a slow, deep stretch where you’re really focusing on the breath. There are so many good sleep-specific yoga YouTube videos out there for beginners, so you can literally take 10 minutes to yourself in the comfort of your own home (in pajamas) to relax.
- Meditate. I get that this one is daunting for a lot of people, but like with anything, the more you do it, the better you get at it. Again, there are plenty of free guided meditations on YouTube or several good apps you can download on your phone. There are sleep-specific ones that are great and are always my go-to when I’m struggling the most.
- Gratitude Journaling. This is honestly one of my favorite things I’ve ever incorporated into my life, and I’ve talked more about it here (insert link to gratitude blog). Taking the time to write about the positive points that happened in your day and focusing on the good calms your mind and lessens those anxious thoughts that keep you awake.
We all live hectic lives these days, but it’s time we take hold of our health through proper nutrition, exercise and plenty of sleep, and support our immune system with up4® Probiotics.* We work hard for our families, career and home, but we can’t forget about numero uno—our own bodies.

During yesterday’s meeting of the Florida Cabinet, Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Cabinet sponsored a Cabinet resolution proclaiming April to be Florida Volunteer Month. Governor Scott and Volunteer Florida CEO Chester Spellman also recognized Suzanne Cognetta, a Boys Town North Florida volunteer, and Kristen Burke, a student who volunteers with the University of Florida’s “Florida Alternative Breaks” program with the Champion of Service Award.
Governor Scott said, “This is an exciting opportunity to celebrate Florida’s volunteers and encourage others to strengthen our communities through service. I am proud to honor the millions of volunteers who we celebrate in April for Florida Volunteer Month, and to highlight exceptional volunteers like Suzanne and Kristen as Champions of Service. Their hard work and dedication is an inspiration to us all.”
CEO Chester Spellman said, “I extend my sincerest thanks to Governor Scott and the Cabinet for recognizing the impact of volunteers and our nonprofit partners. Through Florida Volunteer Month, our Champion of Service Awards and other recognitions, Volunteer Florida celebrates outstanding volunteers like Suzanne and Kristen with the hope that they will inspire others who aren’t currently volunteering to roll up their sleeves and get started.”
Champion of Service Recipients:
Suzanne Cognetta – As a volunteer with Boys Town North Florida for 25 years, Suzanne Cognetta has consistently pursued creative solutions to meet the needs of children in foster care. Suzanne created “Angels Attic” – a boutique with new and gently used clothes donations where teenage girls in foster care can try on clothes, shop and ultimately take pride in their appearance. Suzanne created this opportunity because she realized and identified through her interactions with youth in foster care that many were in need of help to improve their self-confidence. Suzanne also recruits more Boys Town volunteers to further help children in the foster care system to have the tools and skills to become productive citizens. In addition to her more than two decades of service at Boys Town, Suzanne volunteers her time as a “Reading Pal” with the United Way and is active in her church.
Kristen Burke – Kristen Burke is a senior at the University of Florida and volunteers at Florida Alternative Breaks, a program at the UF Center for Leadership and Service. Kristen is deeply committed to making school breaks not just a “day off,” but instead views these as windows of opportunity to tackle projects and have a meaningful impact. Through Florida Alternative Breaks, Kristen has become dedicated to serving others and improving communities through week-long service trips. In the past three years, she has addressed health and aging at a continuing care facility in North Carolina; she assisted people living with HIV and AIDS in Alabama; she led service-based youth summer programs for elementary and middle school children in Georgia; and most recently, she performed trail maintenance and restoration on the Florida National Scenic Trail for the national Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service.
Many of Volunteer Florida’s nonprofit partners participated in the Florida Volunteer Month resolution presentation, including representatives from Big Brothers Big Sisters, America’s Second Harvest Food Bank, Boys Town, the Voices for Children Foundation, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Guardian ad Litem, Boys & Girls Clubs, Take Stock in Children, and VolunteerLEON. Commissioner Chucha Barber accepted the resolution on behalf of Volunteer Florida.

- Amersham : London Road East, HP7 9DT.
- Aston Clinton :- College Road North, HP22 5EZ.

Here it is! This is my post covering the progress on our floors. It’s not a how-to or anything like that, but if you are going to install some new flooring, perhaps it might help you a little? (Image-heavy post, by the way!)
With that little disclaimer out of the way, let’s rewind back to last August, when I posted about the discovery of a water leak in our kitchen…
The next day we ripped up most of the remaining linoleum.
After a long time of getting quotes from flooring installation companies and wrestling with the insurance company, we finally got someone good to do the job thanks to some contacts. ^^ In January we were finally able to move forward with the process:
The stuff from the kitchen went into the living room and dining room. ^^;
As it turns out, underneath what we had previously thought to be the subfloor was another layer of moldy linoleum that was even uglier than the one we’d had, which was of a somewhat-acceptable white pattern. I didn’t get a picture of the uglier one, but it was a yellowish color that could have never gone with anything in the kitchen even on a good day. Dx
Anyway, double layering linoleum like that is not up to code at all and should never be done! The black mold was just having a ball with all that moisture trapped between layers.
Most of the black mold was on that second layer of linoleum rather than the actual subfloor, so the subfloor was spared while the linoleum got ripped up and trashed. Blair (our floor guy) was going to come back and spray bleach on what mold had gotten onto the subfloor, but we enlightened him of the fact that bleach only bleaches mold; it doesn’t kill it. ^^; We used Thieves on it and I gave him a spray bottle with diluted Thieves in it and he sprayed it… Thieves kills it by breaking it down so it can’t grow back. If you use bleach or something like that, it might disappear but then come back later, and that’s not something anyone wants, I’m sure. (You can see from the previous pictures how black the floor was, and after using Thieves on it, how…well, not-black it was. This stuff really works.)
Soon after that, Blair came back and laid the backerboard that the tiles would go on top of. He had to put screws into the subfloor first because it was squeaky…because the builders had used nails rather than screws.
The floor was basically level because we had had the floors leveled earlier on, so that was really good–no major changes had to take place.
He started on the living room side so that he could move the appliances around more easily, and finished on the dining room side, so he never got backed into a corner. ^^
Tile spacers are very important. Another good thing to remember is that you need to leave the tiles to dry for twenty-four hours before you try to walk on it–both after you put it down and after you grout it. Once it’s been allowed to dry, it won’t go anywhere! You could even dance on it, apparently. XD (Though I would wait to do that until after it’s completely done.)
We had only one box of tiles left over, and it was opened. This meant much less waste~ What’s even better is we went with third-grade porcelain tile, one of the cheaper tiles only because they have a higher risk of having blemishes like spots of extra sealant or something, and basically NONE of our tiles had problems. One has a spot, but it’s the only one. The tile was also on sale when we purchased it, and it was the second tile we saw. God totally picked out that tile for us and orchestrated everything! 😀 I’m still amazed. ;v;
The next task was the grouting! First you plop on the grout and smooth it over the spaces between the tiles, and then you come back over it with a wet sponge to clean off the excess. After a little while you can wipe it again to clear up some of the haze left on the tiles.
We moved our things back into the kitchen so we could move the dining room stuff into the living room and other areas of the house (in fact, my brother and I still have dining room stuff in our rooms ^^; ). However, we’ve had to live like that for a while due to the hardwood company Lumber Liquidators ordered a certain transition piece from didn’t have the part for several weeks…and we kept having bad weather whenever Blair would plan to come back to start ripping up the carpet and stuff… I had a dance studio for all that time, though. XD I recorded a few dances; one is on Youtube presently and the other one is a K~Y PV that is still being mixed.
March 1st we finally were able to begin!
Our living room had to look like this…
…in order for the dining room to look like this:
There were no problems with the subfloor, so there weren’t any more delays.
Blair wasn’t able to come on Friday because of storms, but since he really wanted to get the job done, he came early on Sunday and worked all day!
We even had hardwood put in the laundry room (er, closet):
He still has to put toe molds on the baseboards in the kitchen, and do some touch-ups in both the kitchen and the dining room. Other than that, his job is pretty much done! It looks great, doesn’t it? He did a very good job, I think. :3
So there you have it! This was the installation process of our tile and hardwood floors, basically from start to finish. ^^ Hopefully it was somewhat interesting. It was really neat to see everything unfold; it was like what I’ve seen on HGTV, but “for real!” XD | <urn:uuid:1b218707-92fd-428f-a232-baad390e716e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://yuki-online.com/2012/03/08/tile-and-hardwood-installation-process/ | 2020-09-24T08:46:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400214347.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924065412-20200924095412-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.983153 | 1,300 |
If you have ever thought it was an absurd notion for skinny people to be discriminated against, think again.
Body Exchange, a gym in Vancouver, specifically caters to the plus-size clientele in hopes of fostering a comfortable community for people who are overweight.
The gym, founded by Louis Green, told the Province that she wanted to aid in gym-goers camraderie,
“Many of our clients have not had successful fitness pasts so I can see the anxiety before we get started and I can see the relief and happiness after we finish. People are often too fearful to become active.”
Overweight patrons of these gyms often feel more comfortable.
Body Exchange isn’t the only one of its kind. Gyms have opened all over the States. Including gyms like Buddha Body Yoga in New York City and Downsize Fitness, which has branches in Las Vegas, Chicago and Dallas.
As well as Square One in Omaha Nebraska, a gym created former competitor Marty Wolff, who appeared on the reality show The Biggest Loser.
He expressed that those who are overweight need a safe haven,
“Clients want a place where they can get fit without feeling like they’re being stared at or criticized,” he told the Daily News. “My whole life, I have always wished there was a place for other big people. So I created one.” | <urn:uuid:5dcd085f-dbe8-4472-9165-811c443d758f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://frugivoremag.com/2012/06/plus-size-friendly-gym-bans-skinny-people-is-this-right/ | 2020-09-25T17:43:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.974613 | 293 |

I’ve performed a few weddings in recent months, and I have to tell you that I get a little squeamish over them. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind performing the ceremony. I enjoy getting to know the couple, hearing their hopes and dreams for a life together, listening to the story of what brought them to this point. I am happy to be the one to speak a word of God on the blissful day, and remind the couple of the perfect example of love that Christ gives us.
It’s not the sermon that really gets me, nor dealing with nervous and sometimes frantic brides or bridegrooms, or teary-eyed parents; neither is it calming frayed nerves, or reassuring the couple that even if the flower girl and ring bearer should both stumble and fall, the day will still be magical and in the end, they will still be married.
Rather, what really gives me the shivers comes when I hear myself saying, “By the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife” – or words to that effect. I get squeamish because – really? By the authority vested in me? Whose bright idea was that? If I answer “the state” I have to question their authority to grant me authority! They don’t even know who I am! If I answer the church, then I wonder how and why the church has granted me this power. Is performing a wedding a civil action or a religious one? Is the simple act of blessing a marriage authoritative enough to make it stick? “Authority” feels like too great a word for me.
The word “authority” conveys different things to different people but generally connotes power, right or ability. And today’s gospel text begins with this question posed to Jesus about authority. While the chief priests and scribes question where Jesus’ power comes from, Jesus know their question is misplaced. Jesus has authority because of who he is, not where he’s from.
For Christians, the words authority and Jesus go together. We confess that we believe Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, and as such has all the power and authority of God. We believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of Man. We trust that God, in Jesus, has redeemed the world and we have faith that God’s judgment for the world rests on the cross of Christ. God, the creator and giver of all things, the one to whom everything in heaven and earth and under the earth belongs, gives Jesus authority. Authority about which Jesus is never squeamish. Jesus is the authority of God incarnate, and has come to take away the sins of the world in God’s merciful act of salvation. To us, Jesus’ authority is obvious. Or is it?
Do we sometimes question if what the scriptures tell us is true is, in fact, true? They can sometimes be confusing. Do we view the scriptures as the authoritative Word of God or do they simply convey with authority, the character and desire of God? We hope that our trust, our faith, and our believing in Christ is not in vain. We hope that Jesus’ words of forgiveness and redemption are authoritative and absolute. But sometimes, just sometimes, don’t we doubt? What if we’ve got it all wrong?
It is doubt that reigns whenever we try to take our ultimate redemption into our own hands. It is doubt working when we think through our own understanding and works we might earn our salvation, that if we think the right things and do enough good that we’ll be okay with God.
There are times when we all wonder if the world might have a point, that it is ridiculous to believe in a virgin birth, and preposterous to think that God would be born as a human baby conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit. We fumble around when we try to explain how God could allow his own Son to die a despicable death on the cross.
Yes, doubt is a part of our experience, and there are times when we confess with our lips belief in Jesus Christ and his power to save while we still harbor doubt in our hearts that this grace is a reality.
The chief priests and the scribes of the temple don’t find the authority of Jesus to be obvious. Although Jesus invites them to believe in him, they don’t get it. They don’t understand who Jesus really is, and they don’t understand where he has come from or believe that what he promises is true.
They try to trip him up by asking Jesus questions, because they don’t trust his word, his authority, or the power he seems to have. Have you ever noticed though, that although Jesus actually gets asked a lot of questions throughout the gospel narratives, Jesus doesn’t give many answers? As is often the case, in the text for today, Jesus answers the religious leaders’ question with a question of his own – and then follows with a parable.
It helps if we put this story in context. In the preceding verses of this chapter of the gospel of Matthew, Jesus’ has just made his triumphal entry into Jerusalem while crowds went ahead of him shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” The text tells us, “when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil asking, ‘Who is this?’”
Not long after, Jesus goes to the temple and drives out all who are selling and buying, and turning this holy place of prayer into what he refers to as a “den of robbers.” The blind and the lame come to him there and are cured and children continue to cry out, “Hosanna to the Son of David.” And the chief priests and the elders of the temple became angry. The leaders of the Jewish community and the Roman officials all became afraid. And who could blame them? Jesus came in and made quite a stir.
The next day, Jesus curses a fig tree and then Jesus speaks to his disciples of the power of faith in his name. The conversation conveyed in the gospel passage today occurs in the time between Jesus’ triumphal entry and his death on the cross.
Jesus has gone to the temple to teach. Here he is approached by these angry temple leaders, who are determined to get rid of him. As I said, Jesus doesn’t just anger them, he frightens them. The rising, significant tension between Jesus and the Jerusalem leadership is coming to a head.
What the leaders don’t understand is that Jesus’ authority is based in who he is, rather than who or what he can prove himself to be. Robert Farrar Capon writes, “This is not something he can justify to their satisfaction. He is asking them to believe in him; they, at best, are trying to decide whether they can find room for him in their minds. And because Jesus knows there is no way of ending such a standoff, he simply contents himself with parrying their thrusts. In the face of their questions, he continually frustrates them by being what he always was, a fox, a rebel, a bad boy who refuses to answer except with questions of his own.” And by so doing, he puts them in a bind.”
There is no good way out of the fix the leadership find themselves in if they answer the question Jesus poses about John the Baptist and they know it, so they say, “We do not know.” And Jesus being Jesus, then tells a parable. Once again, while Jesus doesn’t directly answer any of their questions through the telling of this parable, he does give glimpses of what the kingdom of God is like and how God, and king and ruler of the kingdom, operates.
We have this story of the two sons and as usual, it is not as clear cut as it might at first seem. After describing how the two sons respond to their father when we sends them out into the vineyard, Jesus poses the question about which one did the will of the father. The response he then gives to the leaders’ answer is perplexing at first glance. But as he frequently does through these parables, Jesus gives us much to reflect on regarding God’s salvific love and life in the kingdom of God.
The fact of the matter is that both sons have done something right and both have done something wrong. Both in a sense, have shamed the father, in a culture that is heavily bound by honor and shame. The first son seemed amiable and respectful enough in his first response to his father’s request, but then shamed the father by not keeping his word and not doing what his father asked. The second son said “no” to his father and with that response shamed his father out of the gate. Later, however, he had a change of heart, and did the work asked of him.
Both sons have made the father angry. Both sons need a change of heart. Yet the father still loves them both. The father still reaches out to both. Is either beyond the reach and scope of the father’s love? How does the father judge either son?
We hear this text as a parable about judgment. But we see in it that the bad decisions of neither son was able to keep him from his father’s love. As a parable about the Kingdom of God, Jesus promises us here that none of our wrong or right decisions determine our ultimate outcome. God’s grace causes God’s judgment to be borne out on the cross, in Jesus, who takes on all our sin and shame, and promises life to all who believe. Jesus tells the temple leaders “even the tax collectors and prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God ahead of you.” Here again we see the reversals that God in Jesus brings: the first shall be last and the last, first.
Through our baptism, we are each welcomed in God’s grace. By Christ’s authority we are transformed from sinner to saint, from poor to rich and from beggar to honored guest at the feast of God’s delight.
We are given the grace to believe, as endless life begins in this kingdom of God, life which cannot be taken away. We are given gifts to work on behalf of the kingdom, but it is never these actions, no matter how noble, that earn us God’s love and mercy. God has already made that determination on behalf of the world. Our doubts don’t condemn us, and our works don’t save us. All who believe have the power to become the children of God, and God, the gracious merciful father has already forgiven us and assured us a place at the table. That, my friends, is very good news indeed. | <urn:uuid:af05e39c-eae3-49a1-aed1-d3a5da80b355> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://wadingthroughgrace.blogspot.com/2014/09/ | 2020-09-25T16:30:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.973674 | 2,297 |
ADOTAS – In The New York Times, Susan Grant, director of consumer protection for the Consumer Federation of America, says: “If someone were following you around in the physical world — tailing you and making note of everywhere you go, what you read, what you eat, who you see, what music you listen to, what you buy, what you watch — you might find this disturbing.”
We need to view the Internet through a different lens, one that has not been fully crafted yet. The world wide web is only 20 years old, the Internet has been tooled around with for about half a century. Because of rapid technological advancement, as soon as we get used to one model, it completely changes. But first, we must accept that the Internet and the real world operate in very different fashions. | <urn:uuid:4bd47832-819e-42d7-a0b1-e36acbbb9ec3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.adotas.com/2010/12/internet-tracking-is-not-equivalent-to-real-world-stalking/ | 2020-09-25T16:17:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.945998 | 170 |
Aren’t these photos gorgeous? My dear, fashionable friend David celebrated his birthday on Saturday night with an intimate white party complete with white lights, white flowers and even white food including macaroons made by David. The night was so much fun and was full of beautiful people amongst a magical setting. It was also the perfect opportunity to wear my white knife pleated dress that I picked up from a vintage store in Brisbane.

Amanda used that as a subject line on her post today and it does such a nice job of expressing my attitude lately that I stole it from her. Is that plagiarism? I think we steal things all the time from what we read and we aren’t always aware that words or phrases have crept into our language, although I was aware in this case and blithely swiped it anyway.
Yesterday I wrote about the word ennui. I know that words get into my vocabulary in steps…it’s not like one day I hear a new word and yippee I’m able to say it and use it in a sentence where it makes sense. I’ve read ennui many times, thought it a few times, and finally it fit in something I wanted to say.
Looks like a good weekend coming up. Regis and I have some relaxing time planned for this evening, I get a haircut tomorrow, I’m helping Joanne with a graduation party on Sunday, and Monday we are invited to a picnic at Bob’s house. I’d like to plant some flowers sometime and clean out the back porch. I know that has been on the agenda for weeks but agendas don’t always get done according to plan. Hey, it’s just a guide not a commitment.
I finished the Mayo Brothers book and started a book by Louise Erdrich, The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse. It’s very good, so far. This spring I reread almost all of her books so I feel like I have lived with those characters. I didn’t read them in order, though, which isn’t really important except that characters who were dead are suddenly back to life.
I have two blossoms on my fern leaf peony this year. Mom gave me that plant ten years ago and I’ve moved it three times, trying to find a place where it could be happy enough to blossom. I might finally have it. It’s about 18 inches tall this year which is the tallest it has ever been before, too.
I bought some rabbit repellent because the rabbits ate my lilies off at the ground every year. I didn’t realize what it was and had my nose right in there so I could see what I was doing. Oh my, the smell nearly knocks you off your feet. The label says it is “putrescent egg solids” which can only mean rotten eggs. You don’t want to get that stuff on you, believe me. It is a putrid smell. A rabbit would have to be very hard up to eat something that smelled like that.
We got a new fax machine at school the other day. It faxes, scans, prints, and emails. You can email a fax to someone. How in the heck does that work? Larry just laughs when I express surprise and wonder how it works. I know it goes through the phone lines and I think it’s a digital signal but I’m not sure what that means, really.
Earlier in the week, I am embarrassed to admit, I was ordering chicken wings for Joanne’s party. That’s not the embarrassing part. I told John I needed wings for 100 people. He said he’d recommend 300 wings and he would give me the special price of 35 cents a piece. This is the embarrassing part: I said will that be about 900 dollars then? He said no, it would be about 90 dollars. I wish the math part of my brain worked a little better than it apparently does. After I thought about it for a minute, of course, 900 dollars would not make sense, but my initial reaction is that since numbers are random, then 900 makes as much sense as 90. This is why I am not a financial advisor. | <urn:uuid:230d9556-9d97-48db-b13a-9687919ffcd2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.teresasaum.com/2008/05/seriously-dude.html | 2020-09-25T15:18:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976494 | 809 |

The production possibility frontier is a curve that shows the efficient combination of outputs; mostly two goods or services, that an economy can produce when all the available factors of production are used to their full potential (Dwivedi 525).
This curve illustrates the point at which the economy is most efficiently producing goods and services and consequently allocating resources in the best way possible. The goal of this paper is to explain the effects that recession and unemployment, increased technological advancements, and increased skilled labor will have on the product possibility curve.
A production level that is less than or greater than the position indicated by the production possibility curve, means that resources are being managed inefficiently. This inefficiency results into a dwindling production level than the expected. The product possibility curve is drawn on the right as a concave from the origin, or as a linear bulging in towards the origin. Shifts in the product possibility curve have their origin from changes in factor inputs like; labor, raw materials, and technological knowhow.
Effects of recession and a fifteen percent unemployment rise on the product possibility curve
The current global economic crises has brought with it a fifteen percent increase in unemployment levels and recession. During such periods of recession, most factors of production remain idle and unutilized. Sloman affirms that such factors like land, labor and capital remain under utilized if not laid off, at such times of recession (200). Land that could be used for business expansion and building more factories remains idle, while labor is cut down by laying down a good portion of workers as an effort to reduce costs. The demand of capital equipments is reduced as firms cut down their expenditures.
The consequences of these actions will be an inward shift in the product possibility curve from the original position, to anew point inside the curve. Production taking place inside the product possibility curve instead of taking place on it is observed in periods of increased unemployment levels. This indicates that the economy is not achieving its maximum production.
Effects of the increased technological advancement on the production possibility curve
Radical reforms in the education sector have resulted into improved educational standards in the United States. The improved educational standard has favored research and development and innovation, leading to a transformation in the way goods and services are produced and offered. These transformations coupled with the technological revolutions have made production, marketing and distribution of goods and services cheaper. The productivity of resources both labor and capital have also been increased by this technological improvement, leading to production of more goods per unit time using the same quantity of resources (Dwivedi 28). The consequence is that market prices will fall and products will be cheaper and affordable to consumers, and the product possibility curve will shift outwards indicating increased output.
Effects of the change in immigration laws to enhance the labor force
The recent changes in the immigration laws have placed restrictions on the number of immigrants entering the United States. It is now a requirement that the immigrants receiving visas to live and work in the United States have some skills, knowledge or talents that will enhance the work force.
In this era of technological revolution, the more skilled a country’s work force is the more competitive it will be. Outsourcing cheaper skilled labor is more cost effective in the long run, compared to internal sourcing and training. This precious skilled labor if utilized will lead to an outward shift in the product possibility frontier, indicating increased output.
In conclusion, an outward shift in the product possibility curve is the desire of every nation. When the factors of production such as labor and capital are employed effectively, improved output will be achieved and affordable products availed to the customers. The improvements in technological knowhow and the changes in immigration law have worked for the benefit of the United States resulting into improved output even in periods of recession.

Everything I mentioned about cameras distort our proportions and shape contributes to appearing more heavy in images. However, the most readily correctable, and one of the reasons for this effect, has to do with the face- especially, the jaw's shape and angles. Many people don't take care to accentuate and establish their jawline. Whenever there's too little contrast between body components, everything appears to blend together, giving the impression of squishiness. An undefined jawline signifies there is much of a break between your face and your neck. As a result, you seem fleshy and soft. A jaw can create the illusion of a double chin, even when you don't actually have one.

And of course, it (growing marijuana) has been a salvation enterprise for many farmers who were devastated by the past decades agricultural crises. “Looking back, I wouldnt do it, but at the time it seemed like the only way out,” says Dick Kurth, 59, a Fort Benton, Montana cattle rancher, who just finished serving 15 months at the state prison for running a marijuana operation worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. “The family needed money for food on the table.

“She won’t say hi unless I say ‘Say Hello.’” “He will only wash his hands if I put his hand on the knob to turn on the water.” “He won’t use his fork until I put it in his hand.”
I hear statements like this all the time from both parents and providers working with learners what autism. What they are describing is “prompt dependence,” which is when a learner requires a prompt from a teacher or parent in order to complete a task. So how do you avoid prompt dependence with your own learners?
Let’s start with the prompt itself. There are many different ways to prompt which can be divided into levels by how intrusive the prompt is. Below is a sample of a prompt hierarchy, with the least intrusive prompt at the top and the most intrusive prompt at the bottom. Your goal is to quickly move through the prompt levels to move your learner to independence.
Now let’s look at two different examples to show these prompt levels. In the first example, the goal is for the learner to greet a person who walks into the room. In the second example, the goal is for the learner to pull up his/her pants after using the bathroom as a part of a toileting routine.
Research shows that least-to-most prompting increases the potential for errors and slows down the rate of acquisition for new skills. Therefore,most-to-least prompting is preferred for teaching new skills. This means that you would start at a full physical prompt and then move your way up the prompt hierarchy until your learner achieves independence with the task.
In the past, when working with discrete trials, it has been common practice to have a learner master a skill at a certain prompt level, then move to a less intrusive prompt and have the learner master the skill at that prompt level, steadily moving towards independence. This can actually encourage prompt dependence because the learner remains on the same prompt level for too long.
Instead, you should try to quickly move up the prompt hierarchy in a way that makes sense for the skill you are trying to teach. Below are some tips to help you help your learners achieve independence.
- Follow the rule of three: Whether you are teaching with discrete trials or in the natural environment, once your learner has successfully responded to a demand three times consecutively, move to a less intrusive prompt.
- If you are taking data, make a notation of what prompt level you are using at each step. (And remember, that only independent responses should be counted towards the learner’s percentage of correct responses.)
- At the end of a session or group of trials, note what prompt level you were at by the end of the session. Then start at that level during the next session.
- If your learner does not respond correctly when you move to a less intrusive prompt, then move back to the most recent prompt level. Once they respond again correctly at that prompt level three times consecutively, move again to a less restrictive prompt.
- Remember that verbal prompts are very difficult to fade. Though they are less intrusive, you should avoid using them when possible.
- You can pair prompts and then fade out the more intrusive prompts. For example, with the sample of pulling up pants described above, you can pair a visual prompt with a gestural prompt by showing the symbol for pulling up pants while pointing at the pants. Over time, you stop using the symbol and just use the gestural prompt. The gestural prompt can be faded by moving your point further and further away from the pants.
- Write down what the prompt levels will look like for the specific task you are teaching. This way you will be fully prepared to quickly move your learner towards independence.
- Differentiate your reinforcement! If you move to a less intrusive prompt and the learner responds correctly, then you should immediately provide a stronger reinforcer than you did for previous responses. If a learner spontaneously responds without a prompt, you should do what I call “throwing them a party” by combining reinforcers (such as tickles and high fives) or providing a highly desirable reinforcer.
Prompting can be very difficult to do well, but following these tips should help set your learner on the path to independence.

Solar pump stations and controllers
Solar pump stations and controllers. Solar controllers are intended to control operation of solar systems using data on temperatures in solar system or storage water heater or other heating appliances. Depending on the data, a solar cotroller switches or even controls the speed of a solar pump and controls DHW heating, or space/pool heating respectively. Solar controllers involve safety functions that prevent storage tank overheating and limit the possibility of solar system overheating. This makes a solar system operation effective, safe and its service life extended. | <urn:uuid:38d5bf35-d88d-4d26-9ffb-3a50a8c50760> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://cerbos.ee/en/71-solar-pump-stations-controllers | 2020-09-25T16:12:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.87375 | 107 |

So I need to change the size of an image depending on the area of the screen. The image will have to be half of the screen height, because otherwise it overlaps some text.
So Height= 1/2 Screen Height.
Width = Height*Aspect Ratio (Just trying to keep the aspect ratio the same)
I found something that was:
Display myDisplay = ((WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay(); int width =myDisplay.getWidth(); int height=myDisplay.getHeight();
But how would I change image height in java? or even XML if possible? I can’t seem to find a working answer.
You can do this with
LayoutParams in code. Unfortunately there’s no way to specify percentages through XML (not directly, you can mess around with weights, but that’s not always going to help, and it won’t keep your aspect ratio), but this should work for you:
//assuming your layout is in a LinearLayout as its root LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.rootlayout); ImageView image = new ImageView(this); image.setImageResource(R.drawable.image); int newHeight = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight() / 2; int orgWidth = image.getDrawable().getIntrinsicWidth(); int orgHeight = image.getDrawable().getIntrinsicHeight(); //double check my math, this should be right, though int newWidth = Math.floor((orgWidth * newHeight) / orgHeight); //Use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams if your parent is a RelativeLayout LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams( newWidth, newHeight); image.setLayoutParams(params); image.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP); layout.addView(image);
Might be overcomplicated, maybe there’s an easier way? This is what I’d first try, though. | <urn:uuid:61138945-c516-4e85-b4f3-5e28a4333259> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://exceptionshub.com/imageview-android-changing-image-size-depending-on-screen-size.html | 2020-09-25T17:42:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.725547 | 449 |
Most of the Patients with cleft palate deformity treated by surgeries acquire speech difficulties. Apart from normal cleft palate cases, a rare condition exists, known as the submucous cleft palate. The submucous cleft palate is also a congenital defect of the palate, formed in the roof of the mouth. The opening of the cleft is covered by the mucous membrane, which is the tissue that covers the roof of the mouth. These types of clefts affect the uvula, which is the long tissue that hangs from the back of the palate. These patients require expert help for their speech to be corrected. The expertise needed is in the form of Submucous speech surgery to correct the muscles of the palate followed by speech therapy. Most commonly speech correction in these types of cases is done by means of Furlow’s double opposing palatoplasty. In this procedure, the muscles of soft palate are lengthened by means of opposing the flaps in Z- pattern. In this procedure, the muscles which did not fuse correctly during their formation, are rearranged and sutured in two layers i.e oral and nasal layers. PRF membrane prepared from the patient’s own blood is used between the oral and nasal.
layers to aid in faster healing. This rearrangement helps in forming the sling like the pattern of the muscles that are anatomically normal. This surgery also effectively increases the length of the muscles of the soft palate thus creating an effective seal of nasal structures during the speech. This phenomenon helps the patient in attaining a clearer and better speech outcome. All types of treatments for cleft lip and palate patients including secondary surgeries, revision surgeries, speech surgeries, jaw correction surgeries, speech therapy and required dental treatment for cleft patients are being done at Richardson’s dental & craniofacial hospital under the expert guidance of Dr.Sunil Richardson. | <urn:uuid:f3d75636-a2f7-4e9e-b170-0a4f163be65f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://facesurgeon.in/submucous-speech-surgery/ | 2020-09-25T15:27:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.951577 | 394 |

Achtemeier, Mark. (2014). The Bible’s YES to same-sex marriage: An evangelical’s change of heart. Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press.
In the early 2000s, Mark Achtemeier embarked on a personal journey with the Bible that led him from being a conservative, evangelical opponent of gay rights to an outspoken activist for gay marriage and a fully inclusive church. Here, he shares what led to his change of heart: the problems with excluding groups of people and the insights into the Bible’s message that led him to recognize the fullness of God’s love and support for LGBT persons. He argues that reading snippets of Scripture out of context has led to false and misleading interpretations of the Bible’s message for gay people.
Brownson, J.V. (2013). Bible, gender, sexuality: Reframing the church’s debate on same-sex relationships. Grand Rapids, MI: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.
James Brownson argues that Christians should reconsider whether or not the biblical strictures against same-sex relations as defined in the ancient world should apply to contemporary, committed same-sex relationships. Presenting two sides in the debate— “traditionalist” and “revisionist”—Brownson analyzes each of the seven main texts that appear to address intimate same-sex relations. In the process, he explores key concepts that inform our understanding of the biblical texts, including patriarchy, complementarity, purity and impurity, honor and shame. Central to his argument is the need to uncover the moral logic behind the biblical text. Brownson is a Reformed Church in America seminary professor.

Lee, J. (2012). Torn: Rescuing the gospel from the gays vs. Christians debate. New York, NY: Jericho Books.
As a teenager and young man, Justin Lee felt deeply torn. Nicknamed “God Boy” by his peers, he knew he was called to a life in the evangelical Christian ministry. But Lee harbored a secret: He also knew he was gay. Here he recalls the events—his coming out to his parents, his experiences with the “ex-gay” movement, and his in-depth study of the Bible—that led him, eventually, to self-acceptance. More than just a memoir, Torn provides insightful, practical guidance for all committed Christians who wonder how to relate to gay friends or family members or who struggle with their own sexuality. Convinced that “in a culture that sees gays and Christians as enemies, gay Christians are in a unique position to bring peace,” Lee demonstrates that people of faith on both sides of the debate can respect, learn from, and love one another.

This journal collects papers presented at “A Baptist Conference on Sexuality and Covenant” convened at First Baptist Church of Decatur, Ga., in April 2012. The conference was designed and sponsored by the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Mercer University’s McAfee School of Theology. The conference explored several topics of sexuality: divorce, homosexuality, dating, geriatric sexual activity—all with an eye on the implications for the church, especially the Baptist church, and another eye closely focused on the teachings of Scripture. A good sermon by Guy Sayles is included in this issue.
Vines, M. (2014). God and the gay Christian: The biblical case in support of same-sex relationships. New York: Convergent Books.
As a young Christian man, Matthew Vines harbored the same basic hopes of most young people: to someday share his life with someone, to build a family of his own, to give and receive love. But when he realized he was gay, those hopes were called into question. The Bible, he’d been taught, condemned gay relationships. Feeling the tension between his understanding of the Bible and the reality of his same-sex orientation, Vines devoted years of intensive research into what the Bible says about homosexuality. Writing from a conservative theological viewpoint that yet embraces acceptance of homosexuality, he tells his own story and in the process discusses biblical teachings, celibacy and love.
Wilson, K. (2014). A letter to my congregation: An evangelical pastor’s path to embracing people who are gay, lesbian and transgender into the company of Jesus. Canton, MI: Read the Spirit Books.
This book was written by Ken Wilson, pastor of the Vineyard Church of Ann Arbor, Mich., as a means of explaining to his congregation how his views on same-sex relationships changed over time.

Their products are able to use in daily foods and provide natural and environmentally friendly usage.
Nanotechnology (or “nanotech“) is a manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. The earliest, widespread description of nanotechnology referred to the particular technological goal of precisely manipulating atoms and molecules for fabrication of macroscale products, also now referred to as molecular nanotechnology. A more generalized description of nanotechnology was subsequently established by the National Nanotechnology Initiative, which defines nanotechnology as the manipulation of matter with at least one dimension sized from 1 to 100 nanometers.
This definition reflects the fact that quantum mechanical effects are important at this quantum-realm scale, and so the definition shifted from a particular technological goal to a research category inclusive of all types of research and technologies that deal with the special properties of matter which occur below the given size threshold. It is therefore common to see the plural form “nanotechnologies” as well as “nanoscale technologies” to refer to the broad range of research and applications whose common trait is size. | <urn:uuid:67f870ff-b9e4-40fa-a8ec-024e2921af9f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://halalstreet.co.uk/shop/bbt-bio-refreshment-chips-by-letter-kiosk-1-pack-contain-1200-sachets-not-food/ | 2020-09-25T15:46:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.914095 | 399 |
How Britain Turned a Fourth of the World Anti-Gay, and What the Ultimate Colonizer Is Doing About It
This post is also available in: Español
During the 1800s and 1900s, Britain colonized 53 countries, exploited their workforces and wrote a bunch of racist, homophobic laws for them. These nations became known as the British Commonwealth, and in 36 of them, Britain’s colonial-era homophobic laws remain to this day, even if the territories have formally declared independence from Britain.
Realizing their mistake nearly 200 years later (almost as long as they’ve had “British accents”), today saw British Prime Minister Theresa May apologize on behalf of her country for effectively turning one-fourth of the world into an anti-gay hellhole during Britain’s “rape and plunder” phase of worldwide expansion. May also pledged her government’s help for any nation wanting to rid itself of these laws.
Speaking to representatives of British Commonwealth nations during Day Two of a week-long meeting in London, May said:
As the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister I deeply regret both the fact that such laws were introduced and the legacy of discrimination, violence and even death that persists today. I am all too aware that these laws were often put in place by my own country. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.
Nobody should face persecution or discrimination because of who they are or who they love. And the U.K. stands ready to support any Commonwealth member wanting to reform outdated legislation that makes such discrimination possible.
During its colonial period, Britain forced its colonies to take on certain laws (a penal code, if you will). Section 377 of this code specifically criminalized anal sex between men. In 29 current British Commonwealth nations — including Jamaica, India, Pakistan, Cameroon and Tonga — homosexuality is punishable by imprisonment, and in Brunei and North Nigeria, it’s punishable by death.
Among other things, these laws embolden citizens to harass and attack LGBTQ people and make it harder for LGBTQ people to seek sexual health treatment. In fact, a 2015 report found that while the Commonwealth accounts for approximately 30% of the world’s population, it represents over 60% of worldwide HIV cases.
But all hope isn’t lost. Since 2011, Secretaries General of the Commonwealth and other supportive leaders of member nations like Australia and Malta have called on others to remove anti-LGBTQ laws. In 2017, the Commonwealth Equality Network gained accreditation to work directly with member nations seeking to repeal anti-gay laws, and a nonprofit called The Kaleidoscope Trust is doing similar work, employing political and social pressure to get member nations’ laws changed.
In 2012, Malawi suspended its anti-gay laws.
Kenya’s High Court is currently considering whether its anti-sodomy law is unconstitutional.
And just last week the dual-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago declared its own anti-sodomy law unconstitutional as well. | <urn:uuid:3ac1b2d7-72c6-4f35-98c1-7f0dbf3adf09> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hornet.com/stories/british-commonwealth-lgbt-two/ | 2020-09-25T16:47:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.966206 | 626 |
Today I welcome author Rachel Rossano who lets us into her writing world by answering the “10 Questions.” Rachel is a prolific author who writes in a variety of genres. She says “she endeavors to enchant, thrill, entertain, and amuse through her work.”
Linda Covella: Welcome, Rachel! Let’s get down to business. 🙂 When and why did you decide to become a writer?
Rachel Rossano: I started writing as a teen because I didn’t like the way some of my favorite books ended. Since then I have fallen in love with the discovery and writing process. I love creating worlds and exploring them with characters.
LC: What is your writing process: where do you write, how often do you write, are you a full-time or part-time writer, do you outline or do you plot as you go, etc.?
RR: I write when and where I can. I am a homeschooling mother of three so writing time happens in the spaced between everything else. Making it a priority after the kids are in bed and when I do catch a slow-down in the schedule works. My three favorite locations are on the end of my couch, at my desk in the schoolroom, or out at a local restaurant where I can tune out the white noise of other diners.
The goal is to write every day, but it doesn’t always happen. I would say I am a part-time author, but the process happens all the time in my head. I am a hybrid between plotting and pantsing in my approach. The prep work for a new novel is extensive, but I don’t plot the whole book, only about halfway. Then I write until the point I reach the end of my outline. If I still have a clear idea and talkative characters, I frequently keep running with it, but if things aren’t as obvious to me, I pause to plot and figure out what needs to happen until the end of the book.
LC: Where do you find your inspiration for your stories? Do you draw from your own experiences?
RR: My own experiences, the testimony and stories of others, and a generous helping of research and brainstorming all help inspire stories. However, the inspiration is almost everywhere. I frequently get ideas when driving or waiting for something and mentally follow it through to see if it will work for a current or new project before writing it down.
LC: Writers are always “writing” even if only in our heads, right?
Who is one of your favorite characters from your story(ies), one that you enjoyed creating and writing about, and why?
RR: The hero and heroine of my current WIP is usually my favorite at one time or another. Then, if I happen to spend time with an old project or even just discuss it with someone, the characters come to the forefront and I remember exactly why I love them all over again. They are a bit like children one can’t really have a favorite.
However, if I had to choose one, I would have to pick Lord Dentin. He is my hero in Honor (Second Novel of Rhynan), but he has played and promises to play a far reaching role in the series. As a recurring character in the series, he has become like an old friend I keep running into with each new story. I love him more each moment I spend with him.
Jerome Simon Cordale, Earl of Dentin isn’t an easy man to get to know. He doesn’t talk much, doesn’t appear to have anything to prove to anyone, and tends to meddle in other people’s affairs in a benevolent way. He first shows up as Tomas’ eccentric and powerful friend in Duty (First Novel of Rhynan). Just his appearance and role in the second half of the book was enough to get readers asking for more of him. So, I made him the hero of my next book in the series, Honor. In the process I fleshed out his background to the point that I ended up writing eight short stories and publishing an anthology around him. Since then, he has played a major role in the next novel of the series, Mercy (written and still unpublished); gets a mention in the first book of my newest series (also written, but still unpublished); and has written himself into the plots of the remaining three planned novels of the Rhynan series. I am a bit infatuated with him as a character.
LC: He sounds very determined that you keep him in your writing world!
Do you incorporate (or inadvertently find) any of your own personality traits into your characters?
RR: Many of my characters have personality traits that I share (or admire in others), but none of them are me. I have a lot of readers among my characters because I love to read. But I am definitely not a warrior and many of my characters are. Also, some of my characters are very different from me because I want to explore that kind of personality from the inside out and know it well.
LC: Do you find your stories are more plot driven or character driven? Please explain.
RR: All of my stories have both, solid plot and dynamic characters. I do tend toward character-driven plots because they are more organic feeling to me, but both are necessary for a good book.
LC: Did you read much as a child?
RR: Constantly! I systematically read my way through large portions of the library as a kid, all the way up to young adulthood. Now that I have kids, we are constantly lurking around our local library. Our house is filled with books on almost any topic and they are all well read by many of us. I had to fight to restrict the bookshelves in our family room to only one because very other room in the house (except bathrooms) are completely filled with bookcases.
LC: How important do you think reading is for writers?
RR: Vital! Good writing inspires and teaches good writing. Learning the thoughts and word patterns of those who have gone before informs us, inspires us, and warns us about the good and bad ways to write.
LC: Who are some of your favorite authors and/or books? What draws you to them?
RR:Diana Wynne Jones always inspires me, challenges me, and entertains me at once. If I need to be refreshed and inspired as a writer, I read her. Patricia C. Wrede challenges my world building skills. Orson Scott Card’s characterization skill is something I strive for in my own work. Robin McKinley’s ability to tell a good story always drags me into her work. If I want a bit of romance, I pick up a Sarah M. Eden book. C. S. Lewis’ skill with words and expressing complex ideas and thoughts makes me want to spend hours unpacking his sentences and paragraphs. Jane Austen’s ability to make the trivial profound and life altering enthralls me. I admit it. I am a word addict.
LC: Anything new in the works?
RR: I am currently developing a new series set in a different region of the same world as my Rhynan Novels and Theodoric Saga series. This one will be loosely inspired by fairytales. The stories will be retold with a few of the elements, but no magic. Not because I am against it, but because the world’s already established rules don’t include magic.
Just a few weeks ago, I finished the first draft of the first novel in a new series: Grace by Contract (a Beauty and the Beast retelling). My beast is a scared ruler of a small independent mini-nation. He can be a bit brusque, but he is a good man at heart. His lady isn’t a woman of means or title, but the eldest daughter of a not so moral merchant who has fallen on hard times.
On my publishing plate, I am working my way through my already written novels that just need polishing to get out into the world. The second and third novels in The Talented set (The Defender, Living Sacrifice), the third novel in the Novels of Rhynan series (Mercy), a first novel in a science fiction series (Diaspora), and a stand-alone novel (White Bear) are all moving forward.
My writing desk is very full of potential novels in the plotting and planning phases. The next novel in my Rhynan series features a certain mysterious stranger who appears in Mercy. A slew of novels inspired by fairtales (Month Brothers, an East of the Sun West of the Moon/Rapunzel mashup, Wild Swans, a goose girl, and some dancing princesses) need attention. Also, my space pirate brother of the hero of Diaspora is eager to tell his story. Oh, and there is that little post WWII story that won’t leave me alone but needs a ton of research before I write it.
LC: That’s a lot for readers to look forward to!
Do you have anything you’d like to add?
RR: Thank you so much for hosting me and letting me chat about my favorite topics, writing and reading.
LC: It was my pleasure!

Rachel Rossano Bio:
Rachel Rossano loves words. Since childhood she has been fascinated how they can be combined into stories of various kinds. After of years of reading everything she could get her hands on, she decided to try a bit of storytelling herself. She lives with her wonderfully supportive husband and their three talkative kids in a boisterous and laughter-filled house. Between homeschooling, keeping the chaos at bay, and grabbing moments to write, her life is delightfully full. | <urn:uuid:cbdd7855-f9ef-42d7-9233-946fbb5fa5ab> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://lindacovella.com/2018/07/25/10-questions-author-rachel-rossano/ | 2020-09-25T17:41:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.967967 | 2,145 |
Mature Christians are readers. It is more difficult to become a mature believer if you do not (or cannot) read… because God revealed himself through a book. The Bible is the Word of God, his self-revelation to humanity so that we would know who is he, what he’s done, how we can be made right before him, and where we’re heading.
Not all books are created equal, and you simply cannot read everything out there.
Join me in having a reading plan: whether it’s a yearly or quarterly focus. Here are some tips I’ve learned about reading, and questions I’m working through as I develop my reading plan for 2017.
General Rules of Reading
- Don’t do it alone. Read book reviews. Ask others you know who are readers for a recommendation. This will rescue you from wasting time on books that aren’t worth your time. Listen to people who agree with you AND to those who disagree with you. Read at least one book this year you know you’ll disagree with.
- Plan your reading. Don’t fly by the seat of your pants and read whatever tickles your fancy in the moment. Start a list in a notebook or Google Drive or wherever where you have a list of the books you want to read and include what type of book it is, or else you’ll find yourself hopping from book to book without a purpose in mind.
- Variety is good, but not too much variety. Most people can’t handle more than 3 books at a time. Personally, I prefer two books (one non-fiction and one fiction) although I almost always have about four books going at a time due to ministry-related reading. Most people won’t want to read a theology book before bedtime, but they would benefit from it in the morning after reading Scripture. Know when to read what.
- Don’t finish every book. There are many books that you can stop reading 1/3 of the way through without missing much. If you’re an experienced reader, don’t feel guilty about reading the first 1/3 and then skimming the rest if the book starts to repeat itself. Other books simply aren’t worth finishing. At the same time, recognize that some books have a stronger middle or end than the beginning… so don’t give up on a book too quickly.
- Blogs are good, but prioritize books. I’m obviously a fan of blogs, but I’m a bigger fan of books. Books have gone through many revisions and reviews, so while blogs are good for insights here and there, but they simply don’t provide the in-depth view that books offer.
- There’s no “right way” to read – just read. Some people read best in absolute silence, others need background noise. Maybe you can read anywhere, or maybe you need to be in your “reading chair” with the setting just right to focus. If you always wait until the setting is just right, then you’ll rarely crack open the book. Those who have a plan but don’t read are worse off than those who have no plan and simply read whatever… in the end, just read.
Questions to Help Determine Your Reading Focus
- What am I curious about? If you want to build your reading around a theme, it will need to be something you’re interested in or else you’ll give up after two books. Be sure to read various perspectives if this is the key question for you, otherwise you’ll only go deep into one view on the issue.
- Where is my knowledge thin? Perhaps you’ve come across something recently that got your interest, or maybe you’ve wanted to sink your teeth into an issue for a long time. This is a good opportunity to go deep into an issue.
- What should I revisit and re-read? When was the last time you re-read that book you always say changed your life? If you haven’t read it again within the last 7 years, maybe it’s time to come back to it and see how it strikes you now. Or maybe there’s an issue you studied in depth years ago, but you’ve gotten rusty and you haven’t read anything new on it in years.
- What does my soul need? Is there something your private life, in your family, in your church, or in our world that has burdened your heart? Dive in and drink deeply.
What Types of Books Should I Read?
- The Bible. This should be obvious… but don’t bother reading other books until you’ve spent time in Scripture each day. Remember: Not all books are created equal… and the Bible is the Word of God. Don’t neglect it for books about the Bible.
- Books to Nurture Your Faith. I hate the category “Christian Living” because I associate it with fluffy books that should be 50 pages or less, but it’s important to find good books about the Christian life. These will generally be focused on a particular topic (worry, hope, stewardship, spiritual disciplines, etc.) than on the whole Christian life, but these books are worth reading.
- Books About the Bible & Doctrine. Unless you understand everything about the Bible and it’s teachings (you don’t!), then it is wise to read books that help you understand Scripture better. These books are usually a slower read than Christian living books, but they are incredibly important. If we aren’t digging into Scripture, then what are we digging into? These could be on various topics: The attributes of God, the Bible’s teaching on a specific theme/issue, or focused on understanding a book of the Bible.
- History & Biographies. I firmly believe Church History matters, and there’s much to learn from those who have gone before us. We are not the first people to wrestle with the issues and challenges of the day, they simply have taken on a modern accent. When we learn from men and women and events of the past we will be better equipped to understand our own world and how to respond.
- The Church & Ministry. Whether you’re a pastor or not, there are benefits to reading books about leadership, teaching, evangelism, discipleship, etc. The Bible teaches we are all priests in the kingdom of God, so it is wise to grow in your ability to serve in the Church.
- Fiction. This is a more recent conviction of mine, as I’ve neglected fiction for well over a decade. Since I’ve begun reading fiction again, I’ve discovered stories that tell me about myself, my world, and my neighbor. They remind me of our hopes, dreams, disappointments, and sinfulness. As a pastor, they show me the world is not as clean as I sometimes imagine it to be – so concluding sermons with “read the Bible” and “pray more” are not enough. We need to wrestle with the down-to-earth reality people are living in. Fiction will help you understand the world people experience.

- Using Google Webmaster Tools
- Getting Started with Google Analytics
- Getting Started Earning Money with Adsense
- Website Loading Times Are Vital - How to Improve Yours

- 8 Excellent (and Free!) Search Engine Optimization Websites
You will need a Google account (Gmail, YouTube) to access the tools. Simply head over to http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools and log in. From the Search Console, you can see a list of your current websites. Google calls these properties. If you've not added any yet, the list will be empty.
Click the large "Add a property" button to get started. From here, just enter the URL and click Add.
The next step is to verify that you are the owner. There are several ways you can do this if you already use analytics you can simply link the property to the Analytics property. You can also upload a file to the root of the domain, add a meta tag to the header of the homepage or add a tag to the DNS record. Usually uploading the provided file is a good option.
Once you click verify, Google Webmaster Tools will go away and verify your domain. Once that is complete you can access the full Search Console and find out what is going on with your search engine optimisation.
The first thing you will see is a list of messages from Google about your site performance. If your site has any problems, for example, broken links, invalid sitemaps or connectivity errors, they will show here. Depending on your settings, Google may also email you a copy of these messages. You can also see an overview of your site's performance and include sections covering crawl errors, search analytics, and sitemaps. Each of these summary boxes links to the main report for more detailed information.
If you're adding a brand new website, there may not be any information available yet. It sometimes takes a few days or a few weeks for data to show.
Let's have a look at each report in turn, what information it gives us and why it's important.
This section of the search console shows detailed information about any problems Googlebot encountered whilst crawling your site. This could be from broken links, server connectivity issues, server errors.
The most important report in this section is the "Not Found" errors. These are also known as 404 errors. This report will show you the broken links on your site so you can fix them, either by repairing the link or redirecting the broken link to another page.
You can also see any server errors, such as server-side code errors, or configuration errors on the server. These should also be fixed as a high priority as often they can lead to internal implementation disclosure, which in turn leads to being hacked.
Clicking on any of the broken links will show the detail for the error. It will show you how often the error occurs when it first occurred, what pages and websites are linking to that page. You can also fetch the page as Googlebot and see what the search engine sees. This can be helpful in diagnosing problematic 404 errors when the page does exist.
Once you have resolved an issue, you can mark it as fixed by clicking the tick box followed by "Mark as Fixed". Google will then go away and re-crawl those pages. Check back in a few days and it should no longer appear in the list.
Another report in the Crawl menu is the crawl stats. From here you can see how many times Google tries to index your pages per day, how much bandwidth it is using, and how long it spent downloading content. Google is normally pretty good and keeping the crawl rate low, but sometimes it can really hammer a site, especially if the server isn't very powerful. In these cases you can throttle the crawl rate by clicking on the gear icon in the top right and selecting "Site Settings" from here you can select the option to set crawl rate manually.
Also within the crawl menu is a tool for testing your robots.txt file. This is especially useful if a particular page or section is not getting index in Google. The page will show you the contents of the robots.txt file as Google sees it. It will report on any errors in the file and also provide an option to test a URL. Simply enter a URL in the box provided and click test. This will then fetch the page as Googlebot and it will report if the page is blocked by robots.txt or not.
The final section of note in the Crawl menu is the sitemaps page. This report will give you an overview of your website's sitemap performance and detail the number of unique URLS submitted in the sitemap and the number of URLS currently in Google's index. If there are any errors in the sitemap they will also be listed here. If you don't have a sitemap you can submit one to test or for inclusion.
Now that your site is being indexed and has no crawl errors we can take a look at how people are finding your site. The search traffic analytics report is key here as it will show information about the keywords used to find your site, something that cannot be accessed from any other source. The search traffic analytics report will show you a list of keywords, how many times your site appeared for that keyword and how many clicks your link received. It will also show you the links average Search Engine Results Page (SERP), the page on which the link appears.
From this report, you can find out a few bits of crucial information.
- If your link ranks high (position is around 1) but doesn't get that many clicks you may need to look at your meta description or titles to entice people to click the link over competitors link.
- If your link ranks high, and the impressions are high (>100), but not getting clicks you also need to optimise the meta description and title.
- If your link ranks low (position > 3) you need to optimise the page for the keyword.
The report will also show a list of websites linking to your site. This can be useful to know as it will show sites bringing in traffic which you may want to link back to. You can also see your most linked content and how that data is linked.
The next section to look at in the Search Console is the Search Appearance. This section will give you a few tools which you can use to see how Google views your site and how the data is displayed in the search pages.
If your site uses structured data (microdata, rich cards) you can see how Google sees them and if there are any errors preventing it from showing correctly in the results. You can also use the data highlighter to help Google understand the data on your site by tagging bit of relevant content.
Finally, there is a report which contains any HTML improvements Google think would make the pages better. They will highlight issues such as duplicate content, duplicate descriptions or titles, content which is too short or any other areas which they deem could be beneficial to resolve.
The final area of interest is the security issues tab. This will show you if Google has detected any malicious content on any of your websites which could lead to Google blacklisting your domain.
Typically these come from your site being hacked and malware being uploaded to it. If anything is detected here it should be addressed as a high priority. Once the issue(s) have been fixed, you need to mark them as resolved. Due to the severity of security issues, each item is manually verified as fixed by a human at Google. Because of this, it may take a bit of time to get relisted. | <urn:uuid:76565bf0-0892-4c7e-89e8-091b68d20b2c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://lonewolfonline.net/google-webmaster-tools/ | 2020-09-25T15:18:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.925739 | 1,623 |
Thank you everyone for your extreme patience in waiting for the weekly recaps. Know that I’m diligently working to catch up. Here’s what happened on this show.
Cafe Talk: Halloween is just a few days away, share the last or most recent time that you were truly afraid.
Just a couple of items were highlighted during the “This Day In History” segment–
In 1636, Harvard College was founded in Massachusetts. It’s now known as Harvard University.
In 1919, Congress passed the Volstead Act that enforced the constitutional amendment that prohibited the use of alcoholic beverages. The ban on booze lasted more than a decade. Then in 1933, Congress finally repealed the Volstead Act.
Brianna shared celebrity or famous birthdays before I touched on a few Cafe News items–
Airline travelers can expect an increase in ticket prices due to the rising cost of fuel. Most major airlines reported an increase in fuel prices as high as 20% in some cases in the last year.
Ecommerce titan, Alibaba has purchased 49% of the Brooklyn Nets valuing the NBA team at $2.3 billion dollars.
Next month we’ll welcome in Election Day (for some), Veterans Day, and the Thanksgiving Holiday. But few of us know about November being National Novel Writing Month. Author, world-traveler, Kay Bolden, stopped by to remind us about the nanawrimo.org site that helps individuals get started on their novel. Brianna and I took the challenge to write a novel in 30 days. Ha! We’ll see how that works out. You all can go to marilynscafesociety.com for the audio.
The Cafe Talk segment was fun! Brianna and I shared as well as read comments from Facebook. I then opened the phone lines for a lucky caller to win the 12 Saturdays Til Christmas Gift Bag. Congratulations to Brian S. of Joliet, IL for winnnig!!
Before closing out the first hour, I reminded listeners about the upcoming 10th Annual Christmas Celebration show set for Saturday, December 2nd, 2017.

The village of Bedono, Central Java was as soon as house to greater than 200 households. But now, it is below water because the island is taken over by rising sea ranges, and just one household nonetheless lives there.
Researchers say Java, in Indonesia, is sinking due to intense groundwater extraction, the destruction of mangroves and rising sea ranges on account of local weather change.

My time at November Project has been like no other. All the way back to July 19th 2017 was my first workout at November Project Brooklyn. It was PR Day. I remember not talking to anyone but 1 person. I remember my first bounce… I vividly remember being totally mortified by these crazy people who are surprisingly social at 6:28. I went through the whole workout without saying more than 10 words to each person who attempted speaking to me. But yet when I left that day, I knew I wanted to go back.read more

Today is Thursday and Thursday’s are for the W Hotel, or are they?
You’ve heard it from us a hundred times but here it is officially: Monday yes Monday is the new day. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday will be our new official schedule. Monday: Destination Deck: We will Run, Bike, Ride to the destination for a HIIT style workout within the downtown Dallas area. The main idea is to run or sweat on your way to the destination and already be warm and jump right into the workout. This is also going to require a little research Sunday night to ensure you get to the right place at the right time. Workout location will be announced Friday at hills or Sunday on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter.
Every First Monday of the month will be dedicated to the W Hotel since we love them so so so much. Do you remember the Continental Avenue Pedestrian Bridge? Well it’ scoring back and it’ll be on the Destination Deck Day!!! 6:15am
Wednesday: Winspear Opera House for now. We have big hopes and dreams of the Cotton Bowl and if this actually kicks off, Wednesday will now belong to the Cotton Bowl. Winspear Opera House will now be a Monday thing if Fair Park gives us weekly access to the stadium. 6:15am. To all you unusual 9-5ers this schedule usually works out perfect right, but what about the rest of the world who has to be at work prior to 9, 8, 7am? Well we feel that we’re going to request the gates to the Cotton Bowl to be open by 5:30am. What does this mean for y’all early birds? This means that once the gates open you rise and grind before the 6:15am crew even shows up! (That’s a 45 minute workout before the of the tribe gets to the Cotton Bowl gates for 6:15 workout – hopes and dreams can become reality)
Friday: 1199 Kessler Parkway, Dallas, TX: Hills For Breakfast. Some people have said Circa Cotton Bowl workout this is the hardest workout of their week and we’re happy to have that title. Hill repeats shouldn’t be easy, they should be hard, they should be a rise and grind feeling, but you should also feel welcome, warm, and able. We’re happy to have found our Friday morning home. Kessler park is the small grassy area we park next to. Please park on the park side of the street. Let’s remember that the area we run is not the park, but the neighborhood.
News: Dallas city meeting August 3rd. Can you make it? If not, can you write a letter?
Monday City Hall Park for our first destination deck workout 6:15am.
The Crate Escape Run: Saturday August 5th. All are welcome and no one gets left behind.

Broken bones in dogs is common due to many reasons. A dog bone often breaks due to incidents like road accidents or a fall from height. More often than not, a dog’s bone is only dislocated rather than broken.
With that said, lets dig a little deeper on the topic.
Causes of broken bones in dogs
Broken bones are commonly delegated either “open” or “shut.” An open crack happens when the skin over the break is transparent, and the bone is uncovered, while with shut breaks, the skin over the influenced region remains intact.
There are additionally certain circumstances in which the bone break is deficient. These are known as hairline cracks. A dog with a hairline crack may not show the common manifestations related to open or shut breaks. In any case, hairline breaks are excruciating and should be dealt with seriously.
Symptoms of broken bones in dogs
Usually, dog owners know when their dog is injured or has broken a bone. At times, however, our pets endure a broken leg without us realizing it has occurred. If your dog shows any of the side effects underneath, be sure to carry him to the vet immediately.
- Unusual development of an appendage
- Expanding in an appendage
- Agonizing Whining
- Reluctance or failure to walk
- Extreme weakness in body
- Crushing or popping sounds of bone
In any case of genuine injury, there could be other essential issues that are not evident, for example, inner draining or organ injury. Try not to contemplate the choice to go to the veterinary medical clinic. Go ahead and do it.
Types of broken of bones in dogs
Deficient or finish break
The depiction implies the crack has happened halfway around the bone. It may have gotten through the boundary of the bone.
Transverse, or comminuted
It is a finished crack portrayed as transverse (straight across bone), angled (askew over the bone), and comminuted (the break is in at least three pieces)
Open or a closed bone crack
Stated, the injury in the skin where the crack found is free. On the other hand, if there is no noticeable injury, it is closed.
Reasons for a broken leg in dogs
A Broken bone in a dog’s leg can happen when you would least expect it. Your pooch will be in torment and might be feeling exceptionally on edge and terrified. Try to avoid causing panic so as not to agitate or energize your pooch, which could bring about making the break worse.
Common causes include:
- Vehicular injury
- Play and exercise
- Basic infection
- Diet (an excess of phosphorus or Vitamin A, insufficient calcium)
- Bone malignancy
- Acquired collagen imperfection (debilitates bones)
- Sudden Falls
- Due to Age (youthful bones are not full-grown)
- May be dog Breed (toy breeds have small bones, simple to break)
How to prevent broken bones in dogs
The essential objectives of treatment are to lessen torment, bring down the danger of extra mishaps, and maintain a strategic distance from the disease of open injuries. In all cases, there are three essential guidelines:
- Do whatever it takes not to reset a break.
- Do not use antiseptics or treatments on open breaks.
- Get the pooch to a vet right away.
For explicit breaks and issues, follow the rules underneath
The vet will look at the break and treat it in a like manner. It may incorporate directing drugs to control the torment and a general sedative to reset or balance out the bone.

Instagram announced that it will hide the like count of some users in the United States, and this is a small test conducted by Instagram. Others won’t be able to check how many likes a post got, however, the person who posted it will be able to check the likes.
Instagram’s CEO, Adam Mosseri believes that this new plan could hurt their business but all he want is the betterment of the users. “We will make decisions that hurt the business if they help people’s well-being and health” said Mosseri.
Mosseri added saying “We have to see how it affects how people feel about the platform, how it affects how they use the platform, how it affects the creator ecosystem.” at the Wired25 conference
He also pointed that he wanted to “reduce anxiety” and “reduce social comparison” among the users. Mosseri stated that “The idea is to try to depressurize Instagram, make it less of a competition, and give people more space to focus on connecting with the people they love and things that inspire them.”
A new study by HypeAuditor reported by Social Media Today found that influencers unanimously saw their Like counts fall in countries where the hidden Like count test is being taken. The percentage of likes fell 3% to 15% in all the countries for influencers with 5,000 to 20,000 followers.
Initially Instagram began testing in Canada in the month of April and then later in July they expanded it to other countries like Ireland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand. It is also heard that Facebook has started the same test for some of it’s users in Australia. | <urn:uuid:bd3a7e96-b90f-495c-9c2f-33f51c1328c0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://thedigitaltent.com/news/instagram-removes-like-count-for-better/ | 2020-09-25T17:07:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968244 | 361 |

“Stubbornness becomes persistence which leads to your success as an adult, If I let you live that long.” I told my children that far too often. The other thing I told them was, “Stubborn should be a four-letter-word.”
They get their stubbornness from my side of the family. At age 16 I remember saying, “That’s good advice, Dad, but I’m going to learn the hard way.” And I’m sure I did.
I decided it was time Garry helped me around the house after he turned four. His brother and sister were both still in diapers and I needed all the help I could get. One day, when I finished folding the laundry, I asked Garry to put his own clothes in the dresser. I had it organized in a way that made sense to me. Sweaters were in the bottom drawer because you wore them the least and I didn’t want to bend all the way to the floor anymore than I had to. The divider in the top drawer kept underwear and socks separate within easy reach since you needed these items everyday.
I handed Garry his tidy stack of clothes. Without a word, he proudly marched into his room and set them on the floor near the dresser. He opened the bottom drawer with reverence.
Instead of putting his clothes away, he took all the other clothes out of the drawer. He laid them down so carefully that they stayed in their folded piles. I already knew how stubborn he could be, so I hesitated. I started a conversation the wrong way in the past which made him intentionally ignore me like a cat with its back to you just out of reach.
As my mind tossed out one idea after another, I watched him empty the entire contents of each drawer as gently as a curator with a prized museum piece. Then, to my amazement, Garry began to put the piles of clothes away, but in different drawers. At a loss for words, I silently saw him create his own system to organize the dresser.
I never asked why he changed it up. I just assumed he thought he deserved the right to choose where things went since I gave him the responsibility of putting his clothes away. He probably never even thought about it before and didn’t care. But now he obviously did have an opinion.
I perked up when I realized there was no problem to solve. Nothing went wrong. In fact, everything went unexpectedly well. Thank goodness I stopped my impulse to correct him. I’m sure I would lose that test of wills even at his young age.
“Good job!” I said with as much relief in my voice as excitement. I then hurried out of the room before I screwed anything up. | <urn:uuid:9ef5670a-3b7d-4b2a-a296-8d89a8b30be2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://viewsfromtheemptynest.com/stubborn-is-as-stubborn-does/ | 2020-09-25T15:10:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.990867 | 579 |

I stumbled upon Pejman Ghadimi’s Youtube channel and also was actually interested through what his video clips. He is actually really charming and a little bit of rugged around the sides, which is what I located striking. In the one particular video recording I enjoyed he was actually discussing exactly how to work out along with a dealership to get the most ideal rate.
He was speaking about purchasing a Lamborghini … I clicked his internet site, went onto the touchdown page – however really did not pull the trigger due to the fact that the course was $97 during the time and whatever appeared also great to become real, so I created it off as just a hoax.( He likewise seemed to be to obtain a little detached along with the trolls at the start of the online video lol) So I didn’t acquire the training program, and went in advance a gotten a made use of Mazda CX-5 that was already in a crash and also had some minor body damage.
Practically 4 years later on, I still own the exact same car apart from now its worth a lot, much a lot less than what I actually spent for it and recalling after experiencing Exotic Auto Hacks (ECH) I recognize that I can have possessed one thing MUCH better and certainly not have actually lost as a lot amount of money.
Exotic Cars And Truck Hacks Table Of Component Exotic Car Hacks is a training program by Pejman Ghadimi that is designed to aid you acquire taught on just how to purchase an exotic auto at the finest rate achievable as well as then market it a year or two eventually for a comparable cost. Undergoing some of the advertising and marketing material and also Youtube videos I observe that it in some cases feels like Exotic Car Hacks is actually a method to create cash off of Exotic cars and trucks.
This could be a little bit frustrating if that is what you are expecting to discover (refurbished amazon). However it actually should not be actually. The whole point of the course is actually not regarding generating income getting and driving exotic cars and trucks, however it’s concerning Therefore as opposed to reasoning of a car as a loan pit, you learn that t.
Pejman Ghadimi is actually the guy behind Exotic Cars and truck Hacks. If you resemble me, you most likely understand him for the ECH Youtube channel. He is actually likewise an author of The 3rd Cycle Idea which is a well-known publication on entrepreneurship that has offered over 300,000 copies considering that 2013! I used to publish on Kindle, and also is a big success for somebody who is self published writer and also always keeps a lot of the incomes.
Now I understand, if you check out Pejman Ghadini and also you have actually resided in the internet marketing space momentarily – he shrieks CON! The Donald Trump colours, the exotic vehicles in the background, it’s just increases a great deal of warnings. refurbished amazon. Yes I recognize productive folks use wonderful suits and also drive nice automobiles, however in the on the web planet a considerable amount of fraudsters dress like effective individuals so that they may seem something that they are not.
Among the ways I carry out that is of training course undergoing their Youtube videos and observing if every other Youtuber has actually phoned all of them out as being actually a scam. All of my checks of him passed, but I wished to understand him a bit better so I listened closely to a lot of meetings with him to see if he had plenty of crap or certainly not.
Thus is Exotic Vehicle Hacks a rip-off? Effectively the reason that I originally even took a look at the program again was actually due to the fact that it was recommended to me by my friend Greg Jeffries. After going by means of Pejman’s Youtube stations and listening closely to his Podcasts I determined to join his Webinar and take the dive as well as purchased the course. refurbished amazon.
I was certainly not quite impressed along with the overall format of the members location, I was anticipating it to become a bit a lot more shiny dued to the fact that this is a training program concerning luxurious products. But you may still figure your way around. Initial aspect of the member segment is the Exotic Car Hacks training location, which is actually the principal element of the program.
I was actually a little dissatisfied in the beginning through this part given that I was actually anticipating a bit a lot more comprehensive video recordings initially but after that I recognized that there was extra training locations to undergo. Although not technically a portion of the members place, you carry out need to have a registration so as to get accepted to the ECH Facebook group.
This is the location where Pejman advises various dealerships, insurance provider, transport providers as well as finance companies he has taken care of in the past and has actually had a positive knowledge along with. He additionally as a blacklist of different dealerships who are dishonest or slippery. refurbished amazon. Remaining in Canada, I wished was that there were more sources for pupils that are away from the US.Pejman has a whole heap of purchasers manuals offered for a lot of exotic vehicles on the market place.
Just put, you might presume that getting a base design variation of a luxurious vehicle may be the way to go, but it can actually injure you eventually due to the fact that there is actually certainly not adequate requirement on the market. The case history in Exotic Automobile Hacks is actually an intriguing segment where Pejman details the different automobile hacks he has actually personally performed and enters the core details so you understand his state of mind.
The fact of auto hacking is that are going to have the ability to perform it. So to help you figure out if this course is for you, I will definitely detail out that might really utilize this training program vs who this program is actually not meant for. You possess a great credit report scoreYou passion carsYou can pay for a $300 US regular monthly repayment (lowest) You make greater than $50,000/ yearYou reside in the USYou know that the goal isn’t to generate cash, but protect moneyYour taking a look at car hacking as a trusted means make to moneyYou assume you can purchase a $100,000 automobile along with a $30,000 incomeYou commute a whole lot, and also simply would like to utilize one carYour seeking static revenue, cars and truck hacking includes workIf you intend to obtain he many of the program, create certain you understand what is practical and also what isn’t sensible.
Exotic Car Hacking has to do with acquiring the correct car at the greatest rate and after that supporting onto it for 6 months to 1 year and certainly not shedding much cash in depreciation. Total I presume Exotic Cars and truck Hacks is a fantastic training course for those that wish to protect their riches in an incredible method.
So if steering around in costly cars and trucks without investing a heap of cash appears like something you will have an interest in, I encourage visiting ECH and also hack your following car!.

'The Assembly Rooms is stunning, and we felt the Music Hall had a real 'wow' factor.'
The Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) Awards Dinner, May 2019
Now in their eighth year, the RIAS Awards continue to showcase the exemplary quality of Scotland’s architecture. The 2019 winners included a number of major new-build projects, alongside adaptations and extensions of existing properties and innovative single dwellings. Judging took place at the end of April and the winners were announced at a dinner at the Assembly Rooms Edinburgh in front of 277 guests on 30 May.
Can you tell us more about the recent RIAS Gala Dinner at the Assembly Rooms?
The ceremony and dinner is where the RIAS Awards for architecture 2019 were presented to the winning projects. The awards demonstrate the quality and breadth of current architectural endeavour in Scotland. There were 19 shortlisted projects and 10 winners of a RIAS award. The ceremony was presented by presenter and broadcaster Sally Magnusson.
What made the Assembly Rooms stand out as the right venue for the awards?
The Assembly Rooms is stunning, and we felt the Music Hall had a real “wow” factor. It is a traditional venue but still has a fresh and vibrant feel to it. I’d also heard good feedback from other people who had either used the venue in the past or been to an event there. The AV facilities - in particular the lighting - and high stage looked as if they would lend themselves well to our event creating exactly the right atmosphere for an awards ceremony
Overall, how did you find your experience at Assembly Rooms?
Really great, all the staff were very helpful both in the run up to the event and on the day itself. They went out of their way to make sure it was a great experience for our guests. Everything ran very smoothly on the night. | <urn:uuid:b6059f98-411d-4180-a2a5-7c330a058aef> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.assemblyroomsedinburgh.co.uk/case-studies/royal-incorporation-architects-scotland | 2020-09-25T16:24:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.979858 | 378 |
Someone said 'slit' instead of 'list'
First, we had the drama of arriving at the longlists. Then we had the scurrying about of spelling checks, (for example, someone spelt SLIT instead of LIST which was rude – ok, that was me) and photo errors (at one point we’d put a photo of a disc jockey with a similar name on the website instead of the author). But in case you think CWIP needs to be trained better - we had proper grown up press coverage and a general sense that we are doing something positive in a time of you know what. So then we got adventurous. The amazing Abigail Mann (runner up for CWIP prize 2019 with The Lonely Fajita suggested that we do a writerly ‘Witty Wednesday’ on Instagram. Keen to harness this assistance of such a lovely previous CWIP winner, I bravely placed my phone in one hand and cava glass in the other, before pressing the button at 7 hours. My face was sideways the whole time, due to a panic about which way up I should be, but the story of Abigail’s writing shifted focus from me remaining at an angle for the duration. Second time around, I spoke to the wonderful Beth O’Leary, who modestly batted off the fact that trillions and squillions of copies of her fab book The Flatshare had most probably been sold in the last hour. Deservedly so. This time I was the right way up, but my volume had got turned down, so no one can hear me. Thankfully, we heard Beth. THIRD TIME LUCKY – I got the amazing and fascinating author, Michelle Gallen. I was ready for her. I was the right way up, had had only two sips of my cava – but wait… no Michelle. I chatted gamely to the CWIP community, in what I hoped to be an engaging manner – until Michelle found a way in. None could stop us now. Away we went in merriment and awe. Her book Big Girl, Small Town knocked the spots of me …as did she. Soon these Witty Wednesdays will be installed on the website. Each time we do it - your questions get more and more exciting…. stay excited and I’ll stay upright. | <urn:uuid:3b784c09-1d0a-4d84-8e4e-1debac16a8a4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.comedywomeninprint.co.uk/posts/Someone-said-%27slit%27-instead-of-%27list%27 | 2020-09-25T16:29:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.9702 | 483 |
Changes were recently instituted in the ways pharmacies can handle opioid medications. The new law was enacted in response to growing concerns that opioid drugs are addictive and can cause death and suicide. Pharmacies and doctors who fail to comply with these laws may face civil and criminal charges. Anyone in possession of illegal drugs or who manufacturers or sells illegal drugs can be charged with felony crimes – so it’s important to know what’s legal and what drugs aren’t legal.
The law went into effect on January 1, 2019.
New pharmacy requirements
Under the new law, pharmacists will now only be allowed to fill an opioid prescription for up to half the number of days set in the prescription. At most, a patient can get a 10-day supply (but “no more than 500 cumulative morphine milligram equivalents”). The length of the prescription can be 20 days and up to 850 cumulative MMEs if the prescription is for pain after a surgery. If there’s a “medical necessity” (which will need to be documented by a physician), the pharmacist can prescribe up to 30-days and 1,200 cumulative MMEs.
The pharmacy will also be required to check a Controlled Substance Monitoring Database when you first order a prescription, and at least once every six months while you’re getting the prescription refilled.
Pharmacists can now discuss (no gag rule applies) opioid-related issues such as the proper way to take the drugs, the risks of taking the drugs, what happens when you use opioids, and financial matters such as cost and insurance coverage.
New doctor requirements
Your doctor must document any opioid drug prescriptions by detailing:
- The reason for the prescription
- That the doctor has warned you that opioids can be addictive
- That you’ve given your informed consent
Prescription orders for up to three days and up to 180 MMEs can be prescribed and filled without the above limitations.
Exemptions to the new pharmacy and physician requirements
Provided certain formalities such as using the right diagnosis code and labeling the prescription as “exempt” are followed: the following types of prescriptions aren’t subject to the new law’s limitations:
- Prescriptions for people getting palliative cancer care or hospice care
- People with sickle cell disease
- Inpatients at licensed facilities
- Prescriptions by qualified “pain management specialists”
- Patients who have been treated for opioids for 90 days or more
- People who have “severe burns or major physical trauma”
- Patients who are on addiction recovery drugs like methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone
Per Knox News, the Tennessee Pharmacists Association made “a statement that decreasing the prescription drug supply must be combined with access to treatment and recovery services, or it may increase both the number of people using illicit street drugs and the number of pharmacy burglaries/robberies.”
The crimes and penalties for noncompliance with the law, how pharmacists and doctors are affected, are set forth in the law. The crimes and penalties for anyone in possession of illegal opioids (without a valid prescription) are set forth in the Tennessee and federal statutes. There are often defenses to criminal charges for the possession, manufacture, or sale of illegal drugs.
