Latin America is well known for it’s spicy, hot, flavorful foods. However let it be known that their cuisine does not acquire its famous flavor without a little help from a friend, namely the hot sauce, known in this case as Molho Apimentado. Malagueta peppers rank hot on the list of peppers and this sauce, as most hot sauces, can be used like the American version of gravy, on any dish be it turkey, rice, kale or stuffing. The hot sauce brings the different flavors of the meal together with one cohesive taste and many textures to give Latin American food lovers the taste they’ve been waiting for. | <urn:uuid:2dd5f9b0-73ab-45e8-91c1-2bed96c1ffba> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.fieryfoodscentral.com/recipe/molho-apimentado-malagueta-hot-sauce/ | 2020-09-25T17:04:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.944064 | 146 |

Digital Neighborhood Watch Program
Let’s continue to work together to keep our community as safe as possible.
Nowadays, many of us and our neighbors have exterior surveillance cameras, video doorbells, and wireless camera systems. These are used to protect our property, areas surrounding our property, and our neighborhoods.
The Lampasas Police Department would like to continue to partner with our community in combating crime. If you have an exterior-facing surveillance system we would like you to join us by registering your system with our Digital Neighborhood House watch program.
Participation in the program is voluntary and does not grant law enforcement access to surveillance cameras or systems on private property or remote access to your system. Residents and businesses may voluntarily add their name to a list kept on file so the department knows who to contact if a crime does take place in your area and a recording of the crime may be available.
The LPD has solved crimes with surveillance recordings of crimes in the past. The footage can aid in solving burglaries of vehicles and homes, thefts from property, damage to property, and many other crimes.
After registering your camera, you will only be contacted by the department if there is a crime that has occurred in the vicinity of your security camera. At that time law enforcement may request to view the camera footage in order to assist in an investigation.
Criminals look for easy targets, targets of opportunity, so let’s work together to make Lampasas a hard target and a safer community for all, register today. | <urn:uuid:ebd7b386-32bd-4b6d-b747-5acfe98e8477> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.lampasas.org/355/Digital-Neighborhood-Watch-Program | 2020-09-25T15:32:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.952198 | 312 |
The Haunted House of Funerary Circumstance on Wax…
All My Friends Are Funeral Singers
All My Friends Are Funeral Singers will be a movie.
Before I knew that, the album version already had a narrative feel, conceptual chapters that attempt to convey something of a story. And though I’m not completely aware of what it says, Califone’s ponderous and acoustic album sounds as natural as elapsed time or budding flora, organic head-growth conveyed through risk and sensitivity.
With “Giving Away The Bride,” All My Friends Are Funeral Singers leads in with a somewhat long and looped stride that sporadically erupts into fuzz and odd instrumental moans. Califone’s experimental heart is more apparent here, the rest of the album bestowing hollow-bodied strums and blues-based sing-a-longs that take unconventional jaunts into some other headspace, maybe ghostly ideas translated into something unconfined by category.
A romantic notion? It’s possible that my expectations were so blown that objectivity is failing me, but the album’s presence, especially through the haunting licks of “1928” and the midway sectionals of “Buñnel,” convinced me that Califone is beyond such objectivity. Is it possible that feeling, or spirituality can surpass the judgment of someone moved by art, or overwhelmed by art’s embrace?
And, while typing this up, listening to the album for its umpteenth playback, I realize that my overabundance of praise within so short a number of paragraphs won’t help the album or the band, expectations now through the roof to anyone that gives this article the time of day. Though this isn’t the first album that’s ever impressed me enough to dispel the usual yardstick by which I measure music, I can’t pretend to bother with such criteria. Listen to “Funeral Singers:” Just a couple guitars and some singing, an occasional airing of strange dialogue. What makes this better than other songs of its ilk? There are literally thousands of songs that attempt depth with the same tools that don’t come close.
Questioning, though, diminishes its quality. All My Friends Are Funeral Singers happens to be one of those perfect little examples of doing things “right” and maintaining a heightened spirituality that never devolves into a so-called religious experience. Everything feels personal and intimate, the album’s deities exemplified through the enlivened pace of “Ape-Like,” or the slow-dance steadiness of “Evidence;” the gentle string play of “Alice Marble Gray,” or jubilant motion of “Salt.” “Krill” laments like a modern-day Midnight Cowboy, “Better Angels” morphs into a near-cacophonous array of experimental noise, steel drum and amp’d guitar.
Though I’m sure its filmic counterpart will be more fluid in its story, All My Friends Are Funeral Singers says enough by itself. Califone’s latest is an emotional combo that never feels trite, cliché or forced. It never suffers the rampant pitfalls of so many other folk-ish performers, coming off as played prosaic Earth-torn bullshit that wallows and bemoans its good fortune to play music and live through its art. Instead, Califone conceptualize and incorporate an expansive musical dialect into their idea, refusing to settle for literal storytelling or allowing that idea to be the heart of the album. It’s not often you encounter a band so perfectly expressive, or an album this happy to be alive.

It's so heartwarming
It’s become a bit of a tradition for the women close to Prince William and Prince Harry to pay tribute to their late mother Princess Diana: Kate Middleton included this secret nod on her wedding day, and Meghan Markle’s engagement outfit was another nod to Diana.
And the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s Royal Christmas card this year was no exception, though the nod was so subtle you might have missed it.
You see for the posed portrait, Kate chose to wear a pale blue skirt suit by Catherine Walker. As you may know, Catherine Walker was one of Diana’s favourite designers, and she was credited for many of her perfectly tailored outfits.
But the echo doesn’t stop there, as Princess Diana also loved wearing blue skirt suits, and though she wore some by different designers such as Versace, she did wear a very similar design to Kate’s back in 1988, and another one in 1997, both designed by Walker.
Kate has worn the suit before, in 2016 for an official engagement, but it’s lovely that she chose it again for the portrait, especially at a time when loves ones are in our mind.
In the picture, shot by Chris Jackson, Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte are also wearing various shades of blue.

Scottish August Bank Holiday
Happy Bank Holiday to all our friends north of the border. The first Monday in August (6th August 2018) is the Summer Bank Holiday in Scotland. Originally, the holiday was on the Scottish date for the whole UK, but in 1971, after a five-year trial period, it was permanently moved to the final Monday of August in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. So, if you struggled into work today, at least you still have a Bank Holiday to look forward to at the end of the month.
The August Bank Holiday was instituted by the Bank Holidays Act of 1871 to give bankers a day off so they could participate in cricket matches. Since then, I am pleased to say that its significance has greatly expanded beyond those narrow limits; a day for preparing to return to work?
In pensions, there are some differences that apply for those in Scotland compared to those in the rest of the UK. A notable difference is the rules on how the pension is shared on divorce. We do receive a number of enquiries about divorce and have introduced an appointment service to explain further to people who are trying to get to grips with the implications of the financial split of their pension. For those divorcing in Scotland, we will explain the rules that specifically apply to you. | <urn:uuid:08b3d66e-d590-423f-9a93-0f0a7f1f9a97> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.pensionsadvisoryservice.org.uk/news/scottish-august-bank-holiday | 2020-09-25T16:07:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.975842 | 264 |
While domestic situations are notorious for dissolving into he-said-she-said arguments, the rise of portable technology has made sorting out the truth of these incidents easier. If domestic violence or verbal abuse is happening in your relationship, it is worth talking to a lawyer about your situation and how recording the incidents — as one Florida soldier did — may help.
According to reports, the man began carrying a GoPro camera with him during all exchanges with his estranged ex-wife because she had allegedly attacked him several times before. The man attached the camera to his belt and then left it on throughout the entire custody exchange. Video from the camera shows the man leaning into his vehicle to unstrap his twin 2-year-old sons right before his wife appears to hit him in the testicles.
The video also recorded the exchange between the two, which included the man asking his wife what her “problem” was and her response accusing him of assaulting her. The man claims that this was not the first time his wife had falsely accused him of domestic violence, which was another reason he began carrying the camera — to prove his innocence. The man also told reporters that he believes his wife knew he had the camera on him at that time.
Local authorities reviewed the video evidence and decided to arrest the woman. She was charged with domestic battery and was in jail awaiting trial at the time of reports. It remains to be seen how the allegations of domestic violence and the video evidence will play into the couple’s custody dispute.

Set in the stunning grounds of a client’s former home, two new Scandia-Hus properties are currently being constructed.
The first house will be completed in a Georgian style, with a symmetrical façade, brick cladding, vertical sliding sash windows and a classical columned porch.
The second property will have an exterior typical of houses in Sussex, with clay tiles hung on the top half of the building and bricks below.
In the Surrey village of Felbridge, close to East Grinstead, these two builds have had their sites excavated and groundworks are underway.
The trenches have been dug and the concrete foundations poured. | <urn:uuid:cda0339f-8122-432e-9f15-09ee8d2a59e3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.scandia-hus.co.uk/self-build-home-diary/ | 2020-09-25T16:10:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.954931 | 135 |

We all absolutely love the luxury of a spa or an elegant hotel spa bathroom. Oh, the delights of quietly de-stressing, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
But, with our hectic lives, the cost of going to a spa and the added stress of squeezing a spa visit into our schedule, it turns into just a dream. What if we had our own spa?
You can do a makeover to your own home bathroom and have your own wonderful spa. With some good advice from the experts, we can be relaxing in our own serene, charming and peaceful spa.
Here are some suggestions to make it your oasis of peace. If possible, replace and upgrade your appliances and accessories. A new tub, toilet, sink, vanity, countertop, lights, shower, faucets and showerhead, as well as flooring are all important to forming the foundation of your own spa in your home.
Here are excellent suggestions to help you add some special touches:
Choose a freestanding soaking tub, beautiful in classic white, perhaps claw foot
A walk in shower with glass door
Mosaic Turkish tile around the sink and shower
A massage, rainfall, or high -pressure showerhead
Heated, stone floors
Double Sinks over a decorative vanity with ample drawers
Luxurious, sculptured faucets
Good lighting both, overhead and over the mirror, also with dimming capacity
A window with a view
Now, that the basic beautiful new spa bathroom is taking shape, it is important how you decorate this special room you are creating.
Paint colour is important. Choose soft, neutral tones. There is the classic option of an all-white bathroom. Calming colours also add to the sense of the spa relax atmosphere.
Decoration in the finished room is what will make this room a spa and not just a new bathroom in your house.
Super soft, fluffy hotel quality white towels and face cloths and hand towels are an absolute must. Bath and shower mats, rugs, and bathrobes must be luxurious.
As well, spa like touches, for instance, a basket holding rolled up face and hand towels accent the feeling of a spa.
If you have room for one, a beautiful, plush seat or bench is a welcome addition to the room.
To maintain the elegance and sophistication, you must de-clutter and make your counters stand out and must be clear of everyday necessities. Remember, this is your zone to de-stress in. You don’t want to see the toothbrush or toothpaste caked on the cup its in. Find a spot to keep all that out of sight.
Adding decorative touches will make this a stylish retreat. For example, splurge on a tub tray for holding your glass of wine and the book that you will be indulging in, while you soak in your oversized tub while listening to soft, romantic music. Beautiful, relaxing scents waft gently through the room.
Just imagine yourself there and stepping out onto your thick mat and wrapping yourself in the huge and totally the softest towel ever. Everything is clean and orderly and peaceful. | <urn:uuid:bc0ebf24-3a54-4c6b-ba19-46fb956d444e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thebeautycorner.co.uk/how-to-make-your-home-bathroom-a-spa/ | 2020-09-25T16:27:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.920991 | 748 |

In the past year I decided to make the switch from CET to Mlife. I used to play alot of VP but now prefer the tables, so I figured based on what people here have said to make the switch. I have started out by sticking to the low end MGM properties like Excalibur and Luxor since I am a very low roller. I ususally play about 2-4 hours a day with $25/hand at Pai Gow, Baccarat, Craps. I will also put in an hour or two at 25 cent VP. I recently recieved an email from Excalibur saying that they had remembered my birthday. So I checked rates for my birthday which is midweek this year. $27/night at Excalibur with $30 FP and $50 resort credit. I guess that is not terrible, except, I can book online with no Mlife account for $36. A $9 discount for my birthday seems very week to me. Should I be looking more at the freeplay and resort credit? What do you guys think? | <urn:uuid:be813607-bc76-4f95-a877-482410f5dcfe> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.vegasmessageboard.com/forums/index.php?threads/birthday-offer.78723/ | 2020-09-25T17:45:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400227524.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20200925150904-20200925180904-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.977579 | 217 |

Gov. Deval Patrick on Friday reiterated his call for making information about all convicted sex offenders available in communities where they live.
That's in reaction to the arrest of a daycare service operator in Wakefield on charges of sexually abusing 13 children, including one who was just 8 days old.
The Wakefield man, John Burbine, is a Level 1 offender. Right now, records of low-level offenders like Burbine are distributed only to local police.
Sexual abuse of young children is a growing concern for law enforcement, and the focus of federal, state and local agencies.
Parents Are Crucial For Prevention
A shocking aspect of child sex abuse is that in many cases the victims are children of parents who thought they'd done everything right. They'd done their research and thought they'd found good-quality, safe daycare.
"We always think of doing our due diligence as parents to ensure that our caregivers for our children are people that we know," said Det. Bruce Foucart, special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations in Boston. "Unfortunately that isn't always the right answer."
Foucart says the exploitation of children is systemic and growing exponentially.
"You know that's a huge challenge, the challenge of trying to stay one step ahead of these pedophiles," he said.
Foucart says the goal is to prevent the abuse, and that's where parents are crucial.
"Do all you can as parents to protect your children, and check twice, check three times the people you're leaving your kids with, and listen to your children," he advised. "You know if your children are saying things to you, don't take it for granted, take it for real. If they're mentioning things that they haven't mentioned before being with someone, further that. Be your own investigator. Track that down."
"The most important piece is to learn your child," said Det. Renee Payne-Callender, a 27-year veteran of the Boston Police Department, 15 of them working in the department's Crimes Against Children Unit.
"And when I say spend time with your child so that you can learn your child, kids that are pre-talkative, non-verbal children, their body language, babies come out and their body language tells you things," she said. "A newborn baby will tell you through his body language when he's hungry, if something hurts him. You know that."
And she says be proactive and attentive to details when dealing with caregivers.
"If you send your child to daycare and your child is wearing one item of clothing and they come home and they don't have those same items of clothing on, question why they don't," Payne-Callender said. "Find out what's going on."
Payne-Callender says soiled clothing can be a first sign.
"When you send them outside the home for any type of outside care, always ask, 'You know what, if my child has an accident at school, I want, you know, put their clothes in a bag and I'll pick them up,' because it will tell you a lot of things," she said. "Young children are assaulted every day, somewhere, and a lot of times there is forensic evidence that's left in the clothing."
And it's important that parents try to keep their emotions in check as they talk and listen to their children.
"They will tell you when something first goes wrong with them," Payne-Callender said. "You just have to be able to listen to them and then respond appropriately. If a child sees that something has happened to them and their parent overreacts, or the parent is yelling and screaming, or the parent is crying, the child will clam up and will never tell you anything again."
In addition to investigations and enforcement, the BPD's Crimes Against Children Unit does extensive outreach; it does presentations in schools and parents' groups. The focus is on what to look for and how to talk about it.
This program aired on December 7, 2012.

Let's clue in on what's happening with beta moving through the Southeast right now. We have had some light rain locally. Do that system today. Heavier rain comes in overnight tonight and during the day tomorrow, there's a small possibility that we could see some localized flooding. Broader view showing the Atlantic basin what we're gonna watch for. There's a couple of waves coming off the coast of Africa. So here's a look at the European model at six o'clock tomorrow evening, and we don't see anything organized from Friday through Sunday. Just a couple of waves moving on. Buy nothing that's showing any kind of development. But as we get into the end of next week and in the next weekend, watch the couple of waves that come in off the coast of Africa. These are two systems that we're gonna be watching. Of course, this is over a week away, and this may not happen, but that's the only interesting thing that's going on. And so we're gonna watch to see if my next Saturday and Sunday we see two waves coming off the coast of Africa developing into What is it? Alfa Beta Gamma Delta. So maybe gamma and delta. That's for the next two storms. Could be. So we'll be on the lookout for that. Other than that, very quiet in the tropics right now. We're just expecting rain here tomorrow from data.

Thanks to all our wonderful volunteers who worked so very hard on the Coffee Pot Bayou cleanup. The results are awesome. We really, really appreciate all that you did.
To help us first with the prep work, the City provided three very skilled men and two machines to remove the big trees and vines from the easement area. They did a phenomenal job and the volume removed is impressive.
Thanks to our 50+ volunteers who did a super cleanup job. Lakewood, Osceola, Northshore School, Shorecrest, Old NE, Snell Isle, St Thomas Church, Coffee Pot Drive homeowners and the Boy Scouts. The volunteers from Scout troop 219 and the Shorecrest School Science Club were heroes. The college students from Eckerd did a great job in clearing the small debris from the just cleared area. Northshore School, the honor student from Seminole HS and some local residents all worked hard. Wanda got cleaned out twice and the dumpster was a godsend for lots of little stuff. Also, thanks to KPB who provided great support with tools and shirts and food cards from Chick-Fil-A. We had a great group of volunteers. That’s how the neighborhood comes together. Thank you. | <urn:uuid:90bcaaad-e3ec-45fd-95a3-78d01f47c14e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://enjoysnellisle.com/news/50-snell-isle-alerts/527-thank-you-volunteers-coffee-pot-bayou-cleanup | 2020-09-27T01:27:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.970756 | 255 |

If the ability to address ageism came in a jar – what would that jar look like?
Ageism in the workplace is increasingly climbing up the agenda. Employers are becoming more aware of the benefits older workers are able to bring.
I started my career in headhunting in Canada back in the 80s. Even then we were not allowed to asked candidates their age when interviewing and assessing for roles. Thy seemed to be ahead of the game! I was surprised when returning to the UK in the late 80s that it was a requirement for individuals to state their date of birth on their CVS – having been encouraged to recruit with no age bias for the previous five years.
So, with ageism in the workplace being an issue across the globe, the latest campaign by the City of Toronto to address Ageism full on has shown how creativity can spark conversation and debate. A link to their anti-ageism in the workplace campaign is here
They displayed posters across the city playing on the use of anti-ageing products in the beauty industry. We are so used to seeing anti-ageing creams advertised – but in this campaign they used an ‘ Aging’ cream image. In the ‘ad’ the cream promises to:
- Restore up to 5x the Confidence on the Job
- Minimise Concerns over your reliability and skillset
- Increase respect- practically overnight
Of course , the cream does not exist – but if it did – what ingredients would you add – and what results would you like to see? | <urn:uuid:83d5cfc1-0695-443f-b95d-41cd6e9b43fc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://midlifemot.com/older-workers/if-the-ability-to-address-ageism-in-the-workplace-came-in-a-jar-what-would-that-jar-look-like/ | 2020-09-27T00:14:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.975967 | 326 |
Santa claus who is also known as Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle lives in a village near the Arctic Circle called Rovaniemi in Finland. The legend may have its basis in various tales concerning the historical figure of Saint Claus but the modern Santa is believed to be a fat jolly man wearing a red overcoat and carrying a bag full of presents for the kinds.
A legend associated with Santa says that he lives in the far north, in a land full of snow. The American version of Santa Claus lives at the North Pole, while Father Christmas is said to reside in Finland. Also it says he is married and lives with Mrs. Claus, that he makes a list of children throughout the world, categorizing them according to their behavior and delivers presents, including toys, candy, and other presents to all of the good boys and girls in the world, and sometimes coal or sticks to the naughty children, in one night. He also accomplishes this feat with the aid of magical elves who make the toys, and nine flying reindeer who pull his sleigh.
Wondered where did "Jingle all the way" come from? :D

Velzise is a Vedalken from the plane of New Phyrexia. The Phyrexians had compleated everyone she knew, and she was next. They had replaced a sizable portion of her flesh with machinery and were about to introduce the glistening oil, her free will would soon be overwritten by frenzied zealotry. As the first drop fell towards a surgical gash, time seemed to slow as the drop, the operating table, the Gitaxians, everything melted into a brilliant radiance. Gone was the horror of a doomed world, the drop fell through empty air. She lay in a cobblestone street flooded with all manner of folk. Before she could be trampled by the host, she was collected by some good Samaritan. Velzise was nursed back to health within the Selesnya Conclave on the plane of Ravnica. Phyrexia had lost a victim and gained an eternal enemy in the planeswalker Velzise. | <urn:uuid:46662f2a-2173-48a3-8283-198ebd844089> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.bzpower.com/board/profile/117219-anaru_lst/ | 2020-09-27T01:52:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976039 | 205 |

Superintendent of schools - Jeffery N. Rehlander
Hello. It is an honor for me to serve as Superintendent of the Gobles Public Schools. The Gobles Public Schools is a great place for the young people of the school community to gain the knowledge and skills required to help them to be successful in life. I know this to be true from the conversations that I have had with staff and community members, the programming in place, as well as the data that shows how our students perform on assessments. We have seen good success at our schools and that is directly connected to active and strong parental involvement, a dedicated and talented staff, and a supportive community. Yet the current reality can and will be improved. It is important that ALL our children have the knowledge and skills that will allow them to be competitive with any group of students around the state, country, and world. We must be committed to continuously advancing the core mission of teaching and learning.
As I continue my tenure as your Superintendent of Schools, I want to share with you some ideas about the future for Gobles Public Schools. My leadership will put the PUBLIC back into Gobles Public Schools. I will ask the school community to come together and work on behalf of our children. They deserve no less than the best that we can give them. I feel that all of us can and need to be leaders and learners. I believe that all of us are stronger than one of us and that all of us are smarter than one of us. My leadership will be inclusive and will continue the process of strategic planning as well as put a new emphasis on data and how we use data to improve upon what we do. Our work will be guided by research and the belief that every student is capable of attaining high levels of educational achievement in preparation for meeting the rigorous demands of a global world.
I am fortunate to be part of a school community that approaches the important function of K-12 public schooling with optimism and a tremendous sense of possibility. I look forward to continuing working with you and this wonderful school community to provide the best educational experiences for our youth. Together we can and will make a difference. | <urn:uuid:4f27a536-fbca-40f7-b5fa-181df707708e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.gobles.org/introduction.html | 2020-09-27T00:37:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971791 | 435 |
So you want to play with pens do you? Well, there are a few things you can do with pens. If you can draw, go ahead and draw right on your card! I don’t really have an example of a card that’s just drawn because my drawing skills are not exactly the best (hence the 30 day drawing challenge I’m trying to work myself through over on my Facebook page). And, you could even bring it a step further and color your drawings. Ooooh! Fancy! Or how about tracing your kids’ hands and embellishing them to look like… well, whatever it is that people make kids hands like these days. I only remember the turkey, but I’ve seen so many different things on Pinterest now.
But let’s say you just want to add a little detail with your pens. By all means, go ahead! The dashed line on this card is hand drawn and adds a really nice border to the card.
The same treatment could be done with small sayings (if you have legible handwriting) or little doodles. I’ve seen quite a few zen tangle examples on Pinterest as well, you could try your hand at that.
Or, if you happen to have a silhouette, use the sketch pen feature. This little 3×3 took me less than 5 minutes to put together in the software and run it through the machine, even with the color change.
And of course, you could choose to do the pen entirely in black and then color it in with markers, crayons, or whatever coloring tool you happen to have.
Let’s go back to the printing.
I hear that stamping is just up ahead, let’s head over there!
Let’s go back and take a look at all those decorating options again.

“When we talk about “hustle,” perhaps what we’re really referring to is one’s level of persistent tolerance and determination to do a lot of frustrating and tedious work that feels immaterial day-by-day but ultimately matters.” | Scott Belsky
This remains the best definition of hustle I’ve come across.
Our homes and workplaces demand plenty of it.
It doesn’t seem to lead to much for the longest time.
Until, of course, it does.
We are told that persistence is a great trait to have. But, at what point does persistence become stupidity?

When he started CDBaby.com, the first internet store for independent musicians to sell their songs, it felt like a hit song. People loved it and, suddenly, all previously locked doors opened. Based on his experiences, Derek cautions us against the idea that success comes from being persistent. Instead, he insists it comes from persistently improving on an idea that customers love.
Derek’s advice is aligned to the advice on building a “minimum viable product.” As the image below shows, the way to build an MVP is to keep attacking the customer problem with lower effort approaches and, then, iterating to build a sophisticated solution
Present each new idea or improvement to the world. If multiple people are saying, “Wow! Yes! I need this! I’d be happy to pay you to do this!” then you should probably do it. But if the response is anything less, don’t pursue it. – Derek Sivers

Equal Rights Amendment FAQ.
Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay act,and history
At least 41% of Republican men report feeling a “moderate” or “great deal” of gender discrimination this election cycle, compared to 27% of Democratic men who feel the same, according to the report, which drew data from the American National Election Studies. Comparatively, 33% of men overall say they feel the same. From here
That’s right, white people, some 55% of whom say whites are discriminated against in America today, according to a new NPR/Robert Wood Johnson/Harvard poll. Now, this is not entirely a surprise—a 2011 Harvard study found a similar conclusion: “Whites see racism as a zero sum game they are now losing.” From here | <urn:uuid:7fe17297-ea6e-4d56-8a7e-02736c3b46f3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://beyondlabels.ustiger.net/2017/12/notes-4-dec-equal-right-amendment/ | 2020-09-27T01:40:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.920558 | 166 |
PEOPLE v. HAMMOND.
This appeal is from an order of the superior court of Fresno county denying defendant's motion to vacate a judgment of said court whereby defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment in Folsom prison. The record on appeal shows that the judgment was pronounced on June 7, 1917, and that on March 15, 1937, defendant gave notice that he would on March 30, 1937, move the court to vacate the judgment. The record further shows that the motion was actually submitted on June 18, 1937, and was denied on June 21, 1937.
The single ground of the motion and the sole contention advanced on this appeal is that the trial court erroneously pronounced judgment on the same day on which defendant's plea of guilty to a charge of murder was entered. It is urged that the provisions of section 1191 of the Penal Code prohibited the court from pronouncing judgment at any time less than two days after the plea of guilt was entered, that consequently the trial court had no jurisdiction to take the action which it did, and hence that the judgment pronounced as above noted was void. It must, however, be observed that the record shows that the defendant was represented by counsel at the time judgment was pronounced against him and that his counsel expressly waived time for its pronouncement. Defendant contends that this is not sufficient to render the judgment immune to the attack made upon it for the reason that a waiver of the statutory time could only have been accomplished by the defendant himself. It was decided to the contrary in the case of People v. Manriquez, 188 Cal. 602, 606, 206 P. 63, 20 A.L.R. 1441.
Moreover, it may be regarded as settled that a motion of the character of that which was presented to the trial court in this proceeding must be made, “within a reasonable time” after rendition of judgment in order that it may be effective and within possibility of favorable action. People v. Vernon, 9 Cal.App.(2d) 138, 142, 49 P.(2d) 326. In the case last cited it appeared that more than four and one half years had elapsed after pronouncement of judgment when the motion for vacation was made and it was held that so long a delay was not reasonable and justified denial of the motion. In the very recent case of People v. Lumbley (Cal.Sup.) 68 P.(2d) 354, the defendant petitioned the trial court for the issuance of a writ of coram nobis whereby he sought to attack a judgment of conviction pronounced against him six years and eight months prior to institution of the proceeding for the writ. The trial court granted the petition and ordered the writ to issue. On appeal by the people the trial court's order granting the writ was reversed. At page 358 of 68 P.(2d) the Supreme Court of California uses the following significant language:
“The untimely delay on the part of defendant in petitioning for the writ would have been sufficient grounds for denying it. In People v. Vernon, 9 Cal.App.(2d) 138, 19 P.(2d) 326, it is said that a motion to vacate a judgment must be made within a reasonable time. In that case the delay was shorter than in the present case, and the court held, under the circumstances of that case, delay had been so long as to justify a denial of the writ.”
In the instant proceeding the delay which is wholly unexplained amounted to almost twenty years. This fact alone amply justified denial of the motion.
The order from which this appeal has been taken is accordingly affirmed.

New Chart – Minimum MySQL Version
Introducing the Minimum MySQL Version chart. Historical chart displaying the minimum MySQL version required to run each major WordPress version.
The official requirements are available on the “Requirements” page on WordPress.org. In addition, the required MySQL version is defined in the
With the release of WordPress 2.0 in 2005, the minimum required versions set to MySQL 3.23.23. In 2007, when WordPress 2.1 was released, MySQL 3 was abandoned in favor of MySQL 4.0. At the end of 2009 with the release of WordPress 2.9 the minimum version was updated again to MySQL 4.1.2. The last update happened in 2011 when WordPress 3.2 abandoned MySQL 4.x in favor of MySQL 5.0.15.
The minimum required MySQL version was upgraded 4 times, each time 4 year apart (2005, 2007, 2009 and 2011). Just like the last PHP upgrade, the last MySQL minimum requirement upgrade was 6 years ago. The current minimum MySQL version has already reached EOL (End of Life) and it is no longer supported.

Learning How To Learn
Learning a new skill can be a daunting task, especially if you’re pushed for time – which, let’s face it, we all are. The good news is that there’s a straightforward, repeatable process for skill acquisition that works regardless of whether you want to learn to juggle, cook or play decent walking bass.
Let’s stick with the last of those items; I was raised on a solid diet of classic rock, singer-songwriters and classical music – basically all the genres that don’t swing – which meant that developing the skills necessary to play jazz with any sort of competence has been (and continues to be) something of an uphill struggle.
It turns out that the solution to learning anything effectively is actually about learning how to steal.
Steal From The Best
To outline the process of assimilating walking bass vocabulary from a pro, I’ve enlisted the help of John Patitucci (I’m fairly sure that he’s completed jazz on expert mode).
Important note: This process can be used to learn anything musical (or, actually, anything non-musical, too). If you’re averse to jazz then you can still get results from applying the method to any style of music that you’re learning. What we’re actually doing is:
- Modelling a professional by transcribing their playing in a given context
- Analysing their strategy in order to tease out the underlying concepts
- Creating an etude that succinctly incorporates the methods of a master musician
- Imitating these phrases until they become ingrained in our playing
- Building new vocabulary based on the previously learned phrases
Here’s how I used the process of transcription to teach myself about walking bass concepts and develop my own vocabulary:
The source material was this John Patitucci masterclass – I’m guessing from hair/jumper combo that it’s from the 1990s:
JP discusses different approaches to walking through standards, playing ‘Stella by Starlight’ (he later plays through ‘Alone Together’) and mentions some key concepts in playing effective walking bass in both a 2-feel and playing 4 notes to the bar.
What Did I Do?
1. Transcribed 5 choruses of John Patitucci walking on ‘Stella’
The actual transcription process was quite straightforward thanks to the setting of the clinic – it’s just bass and guitar, so there’s no piano or drum kit to obscure the low end. The audio quality is also pretty good compared to many recordings from the 1950s where it’s often difficult to accurately isolate the pitches of a walking bass line. Other must-hear recordings with a similar duo lineup include Jim Hall & Ron Carter Alone Together and – one of my favourite albums ever – Pat Metheny and Charlie Haden Beyond The Missouri Sky
The transcription reveals that JP plays some changes differently as the tune progresses choruses; bar 12 of the form is outlined as Gm7 – C7 in the head, then Bbm7 – Eb7 for solos (as per the changes in most real books).
The transcription is available for download here: John Patitucci – ‘Stella By Starlight’ pdf
2. Created a ‘transcription graph’ in Sibelius
What’s a transcription graph? This is a transcription graph:
This is something that I’ve stolen from saxophonist David Liebman (there’s a pdf kicking about on the interweb detailing his very intensive transcription process). Aligning the choruses vertically makes it easy to spot phrases that appear multiple times as the tune progresses.
3. Analysed the harmonic content of the lines
Each note was labelled according to its function relating to the harmony – either a chord tone, scalar approach note or chromatic approach. Some notes have dual functions, where they are both chord tones and act as an approach note into the next bar.
4. Highlighted phrases common to multiple choruses (‘licks’)
Any phrases that had similar harmonic content were highlighted to easily spot JP’s favourite walking bass licks; I opted for the rather attractive hue that Sibelius calls ‘salmon’ to make things stand out:
5. Created composite choruses
I copied and pasted the most frequently occuring line for each successive bar of the tune in order to create a composite walking bass etude that features the essential elements of John Patitucci’s walking bass concepts – one chorus of a 2-feel, another with ‘regular’ walking bass.
Some octave adjustment of pitches was necessary in order to preserve the contour of the lines and make things feel less ‘cut and paste’.
So here you have it – 2 choruses of small, easily digestible fragments that have been distilled from a larger pool of source material:
The next steps look something like this:
6. Learn the lines
Memorise the etude. I’d suggest learning this in 12 keys, but few people ever bother to do that. Personally, I’d rather transpose it into 3 or 4 keys and then…
7. Apply to other tunes
Write out etudes based on this one for other tunes in your repertoire
8. Write your own variations
As you play through the lines, you might find that your ears suggest other routes for navigating the harmony; write them down and create your own ‘licktionary’. | <urn:uuid:3c574bd7-ceff-4281-a8d1-a1215b614958> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://freebasstranscriptions.com/tag/masterclass/ | 2020-09-27T01:06:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.931459 | 1,215 |
“…when I am alone I can become invisible. I can sit
on the top of a dune as motionless as an uprise of weeds,
until the foxes run by unconcerned. I can hear the almost
unhearable sound of the roses singing.”
Mary Oliver “How I go to the woods”
I spot two loons gliding across the lake as I push my canoe off the shore. The sun made a grand entrance about half an hour ago but then slipped behind the clouds. The lake is so smooth I am almost hesitant to break its surface with my paddle. I follow the trail left by the birds, and as I turn around the bend I drift into what looks like a loon party.
“One, two, three…,” I start counting under my breath. “Eleven?!” A camping trip is never complete without seeing loons, and their calls are a perfect accompaniment for a backcountry experience. They, however, usually show up in pairs, occasionally there are three. Last year, we ran into a family with two chicks. Eleven seems like a minor miracle. I am bursting to shout, “Do you see this?” But I am by myself and no one around can share my excitement.
Waking up early has its perks: getting to see a crowd of loons is one of them
Part I: My solo space
This was my third solo adventure, or as I refer to them, my birthday, don’t-want-to-see-any-people trips, which started three years ago with canoeing in Killarney to celebrate my 40th. I followed up with a backpacking trip in Algonquin. Last year, however, I chickened out and opted for a day hike instead.
As my birthday was approaching again, I was determined to revive the tradition but a couple of weeks before the date I still didn’t have a site booked. All those whys often voiced by others whenever I tell them about my solo camping trips seemed to be coming from inside my head now.
Solo backcountry trips can be filled with all sorts of what-ifs but they also bring moments like this when I can just sit among water lilies for as long as I want to.
After my third trip, I still don’t have the answers to all the whys, except for the more obvious ones: an introvert in me craves some alone time and I like to challenge myself. Plus, without having to constantly consider other people’s schedules, interests or levels of hungriness and tiredness, I am free to roam and spend the morning following the loons or take an hour out of my paddle to the campsite to watch a beaver.
Going alone means I can spend the morning following the loons.
As I watch them, they break up into smaller groups, then come back together again.
Eventually, they accept me as part of the landscape and get very close.
I bumped into this beaver on my way to the campsite and spent close to an hour following him around Freeland Lake.
He was busy as, well, a beaver, getting in and out of the water, dragging some sticks and mud with him.
Usually, when you get too close, beavers will slap their tails to alert their friends and dive underwater; this one didn’t seem to mind me hanging around.
In a world where loneliness and isolation have reached epidemic proportions with all sorts of negative impacts on our health and well-being, craving some alone time feels like a luxury. I recognize how fortunate I am to have a wonderful supportive family to return to after my solo wanderings in the wild. A family that responds to my fretting over possible dangers of going alone with a firm “You’ve got this” and sends me away with “Have a fun trip” instead of some useless “Be careful” platitudes. My solo trips aren’t about escaping from them but rather finding and then ultimately losing myself.
During my trip, as I dive into the poetry of Rupi Kaur and Sheila Watt-Cloutier’s account of growing up in the Arctic and becoming an environmentalist (although she doesn’t consider herself to be one), I can’t help but think how each of us is a story or rather an anthology where everyone we come in contact with contributes their own chapter, a verse or just a few lines.
Being alone I can finally immerse myself into reading – a skill I find increasingly harder to maintain; I also start thinking about the way our stories is what makes each of us unique.
With all these competing narratives, I sometimes find it hard to find the one written by me. Getting away from people for a few days is an opportunity to re-examine this collection. It can be a terrifying exercise. What is left when I strip myself of all the roles and other people’s concepts of me? On that early morning, with no one around to see me (except for the loons but even they don’t seem to pay any attention) and no one to define my boundaries, I start questioning whether I even exist.
Wrapped in the morning fog, with no one around to see me or define me, do I even exist?
Once I settle into the silence, however, – not the literal silence, of course, nature is always full of sounds, but rather the space away from everyday chatter and incessant inner monologues – I can finally let go of other people’s expectations and a constant need to anticipate their reactions. Rather than evaluating my every action from the outside, I can turn my gaze outward and just be. Like the billion-year-old hills surrounding me. They don’t need a reflection to prove their existence.
It takes time but once I settle into the stillness, I become one with the hills.
Being alone can be an intense experience. But not because I have to paddle by myself or carry all my gear. Killarney Lake, after all, is two short portages away: the shorter one from George Lake into Freeland is only 8o metres long, the other one from Freeland to Killarney close to 400, hardly a distance at all. Not because it is the hottest weekend of the summer so my paddle to the site and a three-kilometre hike to the Crack turn me into a puddle of sweat. Not because I have to make all the decisions or do all the chores (doing a bear hang is always my “favourite” – throwing stuff has never been my strength so getting a rope over a branch always takes a few attempts). Not even because on my way back from the hike I have to paddle into the wind screaming obscenities at the force of nature that is totally oblivious to my frustrations and keeps spinning my canoe around like a weather vane.
Approaching portage from Freeland to Killarney Lake, the longer one of the two; the last stretch of this paddle was all muck and slime, at one point I almost got stuck but luckily, thanks to the one-two-three-scooch method and some logs, I didn’t have to test how deep the mud was.
Portaging your own canoe gives you a new perspective. And while I’d love to bask in all those “You make it look very easy” comments I got from some strangers I met on the trail, a solo canoe is really light and easy to maneuver.
By the time I get to the campsite, I am tired, hungry and drenched in sweat but even through all the exhaustion and dreams of a good dinner and a soothing swim I can’t help but gasp at the beauty of Killarney Lake.
Hiking to the Crack is a must whenever I go to Killarney; the trek to the top is a bit of a climb, and the sweltering heat doesn’t help.
At one point the trail passes over slabs of rock through a large crack (hence, the name of the trail and the lookout).
Following a trail of blueberries makes my hike to the Crack seem easier.
Being by myself means I have to do all the camping chores: setting up camp, cooking, washing the dishes, doing a bear hang.
Being alone also means that I get this yummy three berry crumble all to myself.
Being in the backcountry by myself brings intensity of a different kind. Once I get away from the world of easily available distractions, notification pings and new Netflix releases, my heart cracks open to the beauty around. Sights, sounds, smells start pouring in: lakes carpeted in water lilies, skies dripping pink paint into the water, the yodel of loons bouncing between the hills, La Cloche Mountains like frozen clouds lining the shore, the smell of pines mixed with the first whiff of campfire smoke. With no one around to share this experience with me, the sensory overload becomes almost too much to take. The stories whispered, crooned, bellowed at me by the lakes, the solemn hills, by the wind and the birds and the feathery clouds fill me to the brim so I pour them onto paper and into the camera lens to prevent my heart from exploding.
The first campfire of the trip is almost a spiritual experience.
Freeland Lake rolls out carpets of water lilies to welcome me.
Water lilies splendid in their multitudes are even more magnificent close up.
The sky above my head, the sky under my feet, I feel like I am floating between two identical worlds.
The view from my site is never static with new strokes and lines added all the time.
Part II: My soul place
During the weeks, months even, before my scheduled departure day, I did research, read blog posts and studied maps searching for a route that was remote enough to give me the needed solitude but not too long or challenging for a soloist with very little experience. At one point, though, I almost settled on a 40-kilometre loop in Algonquin, which included close to eight kilometres of portaging, because a three-kilometre portage seems not only doable but very easy when you are looking at a one-inch line on the map back at home. Luckily, the voice of reason prevailed and I shifted my gaze to less challenging routes.
Two weeks prior to the trip, as I was about to book the Burnt Island – Little Doe Lakes loop in Algonquin, I threw all the research out the window and decided to check if there were any sites available in Killarney. This close to the date, my expectations were low – the park gets reserved months in advance. So when I found availability on Killarney Lake for both nights of my trip, I felt like it was meant to be and booked the site.
I ended up on site #21, not the best one on Killarney Lake, but I made it work. Because I had a smaller tent, I was able to squeeze it right by the lake instead of setting up deeper in the woods; plus the jutting rocks all around the site were perfect for pictures.
This is not the first time I try to expand our camping range and then default to Killarney. I don’t know why this park has such a strong hold over me but during this trip I finally embrace that it is my soul place and nowhere else I feel the same level of connection and deep, overpowering contentment. That realization happens very early into the trip, about ten minutes after I leave the access point at George Lake. The moment Killarney’s white hills peek from behind the pink granite rocks, all my worries, doubts and fears melt away.
The moment Killarney’s quartzite cliffs peek from behind the pink granite, I feel at home.
Over the next three days, there is not a minute when I feel afraid or even wary. Not once do I sit up in my tent in the middle of the night woken by a broken twig or get alarmed by a weird sound on the trail. I am not saying this to brag about how brave I am, because I was scared during my first two solo trips, to the point where I carried bear spray with me everywhere and was always prepared to run. This time, I have this unwavering confidence that nothing bad can happen to me in Killarney. (I am right if you don’t count some pesky creature ripping through my food bag and eating most of my snacks but I am willing to share).
You are never really alone in the backcountry: These three merganser ducks kept checking on me from time to time.
Each campsite seems to have a resident snapping turtle: this one showed up on the first night to say hello.
And, of course, there were always a few loons hanging around.
What I experience during my three-day trip is the feeling of home and connection that grows stronger with every sunset and every sunrise, every call of the loon and every splash of water awoken by my paddle. I can feel the pull every morning as I am greeted by the view of Killarney’s sparkling cliffs across the lake and every time the green waters envelope my body in a gentle embrace. I feel it that time I paddle into the gauzy fog surrounded my white capped hills and the moment I reach the top of the Crack, turn around and feel overwhelmed by the now familiar yet somehow always unexpectedly striking view. During all those instances I am suspended in my canoe between two identical worlds, time no longer a rushing river that carries me forward, but a deep emerald pool. And especially on that afternoon I spend lying on a pink rock drenched in the heat of the sun, my spine perfectly aligned with a crack in the stone, feeling the roots sprouting from my body and reaching deep inside this billion year old granite. As I head home at the end of my trip, I know parts of me will remain among these hills and lakes forever, but I also carry with me a few of Killarney’s verses scribbled in the anthology of me.
Waiting for the sun to rise is like waiting for the beginning of the world.
The view from my tent makes my heart sing every morning.
Wrapped in fog, the hills are dreaming. Am I part of their dream?
Suspended in my canoe, I feel like the time has stopped.
It was my sixth time hiking to the Crack but the view still takes my breath away (and not only because of a challenging hike to get there).

White cliffs, the sea of green and a strip of Georgian Bay in the distance – all the things that make me fall in love with this place over and over again.

Considered as a dietary pattern, the Mediterranean Diet is complemented with the practice of physical exercise and with a climate of the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea. That’s where his name comes from. This diet is known for the multiple benefits it gives to health which are recognized by multiple experts.
In terms of food, the Mediterranean Diet is based on food from local agriculture in countries with a Mediterranean climate, especially in Spain and Italy. It can be summarized in the consumption of meats, carbohydrates or vegetables, and monounsaturated fats. This type of nutritious nutrition has fewer meats and carbohydrates than a typical American diet.
Most foods are vegetable-based and monounsaturated fat. Fresh foods are always the order of the day, for example, olive oil, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, vinegar, cereals, fish, milk, and cheese. What characterizes this diet is also that you avoid consuming industrialized products such as sausages, frozen and prefabricated foods.
This diet is a type of diet that helps change lifestyle and is not always necessary to be low in calories to help you lose weight. Mediterranean Diet naturally helps to improve metabolism and promote weight control.
How to make the Mediterranean diet?
First of all, you should start by avoiding industrialized products. These foods have to have a lot of natural products, mainly of vegetable origins such as olive oil, brown rice, soybeans, eggs, and milk. The idea is to feel the closest to this Mediterranean climate and nature.
The moment you repeat the industrialized products, your body will begin to reduce the production of toxins in the body and the inflammation will be reduced, fluid retention will be minimized and it will naturally help reduce swelling. If you consume fish, in fact, all this is much more potentiated.
Eating fish at least twice a week gives you a great source of protein and good fats such as omega-3, which acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps relieve joint pain, improve blood circulation and increase good cholesterol and decrease bad cholesterol. It also prevents heart disease. Have you ever wondered what the European secret was to live so many years? The Mediterranean Diet is the answer.
Olive oil and other vegetable oils such as canola and flaxseed oil are rich in heart fats and help control cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease. To make it work, you just have to add drops of olive oil to foods that are already prepared. You can consume a maximum of 2 tablespoons a day. Another source of fat with olives and nuts such as peanuts, nuts, almonds …
Eating Mediterranean style is considered a type of healthy nutrition since this diet is rich in whole foods that include cereals such as oatmeal, rye and barley, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, and whole-grain bread. These foods are rich in fibers, vitamins and minerals that improve the functioning of the body, fight constipation and decrease the absorption of sugars and fats in the intestine. In addition, it also has very high values in grains with high protein content such as beans, soybeans, and chickpeas. Thanks to these foods you can strengthen muscles and improve metabolism.
With regard to fruits and vegetables, the Mediterranean Diet contemplates these meals as a very important part of its eating pattern. Fruits and vegetables provide fibers, vitamins, and minerals for the body, causing a greater feeling of satiety and favoring weight loss.
Finally, milk and its skimmed derivatives improve feeding and decrease fat consumption. Mediterranean Diet prefers the use of skim milk, natural yogurt and white cheeses such as ricotta and cottage. Although you can also choose the low-fat versions of the products. To identify them you can check the nutritional labeling.
Now let’s talk about wine. Europeans believe that drinking 30 cc of wine daily helps heart health due to its high content of polyphenols such as resveratrol, an antioxidant substance that helps take care of blood vessels. Although they also recommend drinking it in moderation, the wine is always part as an accompanying drink in the Mediterranean Diet meals.

Do you crave soup as much as I do this time of year? If it’s cold outside, I can’t wait to get my hands around a steaming cup of soup. This is an easy tortellini soup that’s super tasty you can make in 20 minutes and it’s healthy too!
This post contains affiliate links. This means I have been (or can be) compensated via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value for writing this post if you click on a link and make a purchase.
That’s why this is my #1 go to soup right now. You can whip this baby up and start sipping on it in no time!
How to Make this Easy Tortellini Soup in 20 minutes
- Dice an onion and sweat it in a soup pot along with 2 minced garlic cloves in 2 tablespoons oil over low heat.
- Add 8 oz turkey sausage and brown it with the onion and garlic.
- Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 can of diced tomatoes, and 1 package of frozen spinach and add it to the turkey mixture in the soup pot.
- Deglaze the bottom of the pot with 12 cups chicken broth.
- Bring to a simmer and add 16 oz fresh tortellini.
- Wait 10 minutes and ladle into soup bowls.
- Top with a squeeze of lemon and parmesan cheese.
What does Deglaze mean?
When you brown something in a pan or in this case a pot, a dark golden brown (and very delicious!) residue glaze is left on the bottom of the pan. This residue is called fond and it is intensely flavorful.
To deglaze your pan, add at least a cup or more of liquid (like broth or wine), turn up the heat and work the glaze off the bottom with a wooden spoon. This will kick the flavors up a notch of whatever you are making.
Can you Freeze Tortellini Soup?
YES! If you’ve got leftovers, go ahead and freeze it in zip lock bags made for freezing. Label the bag with the name of the soup and the day you’re freezing it. Label the bag and lay it flat in the freezer. After it’s frozen, you can keep it flat and stack more, or turn it up on it’s spine and turn your freezer into a meal library!
I know, I know… I always think I’m going to remember what’s in the bag too. I never do. Then I’m playing the “What’s that in my freezer” game. Believe me it’s no fun pulling out a tub of chocolate frosting out only to find out at the last minute it’s liver pate! Label – Label – Label!
When you’re ready for a soup night, thaw it out under running water. Then put it on low in your crock pot and it will be ready and waiting for you when you get home from work. Plus, your home will smell amazing! Better yet, thaw it out under running water enough to get it out of the ziplock bag, pour into bowls and nuke it in the microwave. DING! You’ve got dinner in less than 10 minutes! For this soup, it’s best to freeze it without the tortellini. When you’re ready to have it again, thaw the soup, bring it to a simmer, add the tortellini and let it simmer until the pasta is done.
Easy Tortellini Soup Variations
- Don’t add the tortellini and it’s low carb and gluten free
- Use pork sausage instead of turkey sausage
- Replace the can of tomatoes with 2 fresh diced tomatoes
- Try fire roasted canned tomatoes
- Kick up its Italian flare by adding 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning while browning the sausage
- Add some red pepper flakes to give it some spicy heat
This quick and easy tortellini soup is our son, Carver’s, favorite. Our girls, Alexandria and Brianna’s, favorite is the Chicken Tortilla Soup, mine would have to be Frazer’s Tomato Cheddar Soup, and you know, I don’t know what Jerry’s favorite is. I’ll have to ask him tonight.

I had travelled to Florida before, but there is always so much to do in the sunshine state that we never got round to visiting. With gorgeous beaches, Disney World and a mountain of other theme parks, it’s almost impossible to squeeze everything in to one trip and poor Universal was previously overlooked. Not on this occasion though, with the Wizarding World of Harry Potter littering our screens and magazines, it was quite clear that we needed to go. Needless to say, we had a super fun time and it became transparent that this wouldn’t be the last time that I would hold a ticket to Universal Studios firmly in my grip.
Flash forward to Summer of 2015, and my newly wedded self was found at Universal Studios in California during our honeymoon. It was a completely different experience, with the park set on two levels. It was much smaller than in Orlando, and we managed to see and do literally everything in one day.
This Easter break we decided to return to the sunshine state, Florida. We hadn’t been since 2012, and felt like it was time to go back. I hadn’t been to Disney World in Florida since I was a child, so we decided that we would hit up Disney and revisit Universal whilst we were stateside.
We chose to stay at Rosen Inn, a hotel that was only a ten-fifteen minute walk from Universal Studios, a decision I was very pleased about. I love walking and it saved us $20 a day in parking too. Most hotels have shuttles to the theme parks, but you have to book and I’m a free spirit who doesn’t like to be tied down to bus timetables, so being able to walk was rather fabulous.
We could also see quite a few rides from our hotel room, which was cool and it had everything you could need from a nice restaurant to a swimming pool. We enjoyed our time there.
We were meeting up with friends further into our stay and had planned to go to Universal with them. On the first day of our Floridian adventure, we were due a beach day at Anna Maria Island. Unfortunately we were forecast thunderstorms for part of the day, so we decided to visit Universal instead. I mean it couldn’t be that bad in the rain, right?!
When we arrived in our jet lagged early risers state, it was a bit grey, but sumptuously warm. The park wasn’t terribly busy and we managed to hop on a few rides before the thunderstorm landed. We bought ponchos and just rolled with it!
It also only lasted for a couple of hours and soon enough the sunshine was back on top form, drying our rain soaked feet and my hair into it’s natural wavy glory.
Top: Project Social Tee ,Skirt: River Island
We had such a fun day, just the two of us and we even managed to grab a Christmas decoration – something that has become a little tradition on our travels.
We were quite surprised by just how much the park has changed since we last went. There is so much more to do now and the Harry Potter section has pretty much doubled in size, spread out across the two parks. They are also opening a new ride later this year – King Kong – and it looks pretty rad!
We visited Universal another two times whilst in Orlando this time with our friends. We all had so much fun and the park really does make a great day out.

We were also super lucky as that first day was the only day we saw rain for the duration of our trip.
Following on from our three trips to Universal, I’ve picked up a few tips that I like to use.
- Stay as close as you can to the park. The last thing that you want after walking around all day is a long journey back to bed. Likewise, before starting a long day, you don’t really want to have a long journey. Plus if you can save on parking, it’s always a bonus!
- But your tickets in advance. There are so many deals to be had and it means that you don’t have to waste precious holiday time sorting out tickets. I swear by Attraction Tickets Direct.
- Work out what things you absolutely must see/do and prioritise them. There’s a good chance that you might run out of time and you don’t want to feel like you’ve missed out.
- Choose comfortable clothes/footwear for the day. I know that this may sound blindingly obvious, but short skirts and flip flops aren’t terribly practical for rides!
- Try and stay as late as you can because the crowds filter away and queue times drop dramatically towards closing time.
- Download the Universal app. It has ride wait times and a map, which is super handy. There is free wifi at Universal too – hurrah
- Take advantage of the single rider lines if you don’t mind riding on your own!
So there you have it, a snippet into our time at Universal!
Have you visited any of the Universal parks? | <urn:uuid:0cdeb85e-c3f5-41ab-a5d8-c57e401f75fa> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://lulubellelife.com/2016/05/01/visiting-universal-in-orlando/ | 2020-09-27T02:12:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.978649 | 1,099 |

Laminate floors are now a trend among homeowners. The floors have numerous advantages. First, the floors are inexpensive, yet durable. Thus, you do not have to break bank to install them. They also come in different styles, textures and colors that mimic real materials like ceramic tiles, slate or hardwood. Laminate floors will surely give your home a nice aesthetic finish.
However, the floors come with their challenges. If you have tried cleaning any laminate floor, you will agree that it is not an easy task. You need to know how to clean laminate wood floors without streaking.
Effective Ways to Clean Laminate Floors
The planks that make laminate floors consist of wood layers, fibers and a protective painting on the surface. The protective layer of paint gives the floors their attractive gleam. However, this beautiful finishing poses a challenge when it comes to cleaning.
A wrong method for cleaning and you might end up damaging your beautiful laminate floor. It is thus imperative that you use cleaning methods least likely to cause damage. The choice of cleaning equipment and materials is also critical. Some cleaning material can leave you with many regrets.
Before you embark on cleaning your laminate floor, you need to consider several factors that will influence your choice of cleaning method and the tools to use. First, consider whether your floor handles light traffic or heavy traffic.
Consider also whether there are stains to remove from the floor. Once you determine these, you can then prepare your tools for cleaning. A vacuum and a microfiber laminate mop are essential in cleaning your laminate floor.
Sweeping and Dry Mopping
For a floor that experiences light traffic, sweeping and dry mopping will be enough to keep it clean and free of streaks. You can use a plastic or bristle broom to sweep the floor. However, using a broom needs extra care.
A broom may leave some scratches on the floor. A vacuum cleaner is a better alternative. It is much faster and poses less risk to the floor than the broom does. Vacuuming will get rid of grit on the floor and help retain the floor’s shine. If left on the floor, dirt and debris can cause scratches and dents to your floor.
Ideally, a laminate floor vacuum should not have a beater bar because the beater bar is likely to damage the floor as the brushes vibrate. The vacuum should also have telescopic wands to hit tight spots. We have a list of best vacuum for laminate floors for you. Just check and get the right one.
Robotic, canister or stick vacuums have lower brush settings that make them ideal for laminate floors. The soft rolling brushes in such vacuums help prevent scratching of the floor during cleaning. Thus, they protect the floor from streaks.
Sweeping will not get rid of all the dirt and dust from the floor. You will need to dry mop the floor to get rid of that. Dry mops can pick the finer dust particles cling on the floor surface. As you clean, the dry mop will get saturated with dust. Replace it with a clean pad to achieve optimum results for your floor.
Sweeping and dry mopping may be effective for floors that experience light traffic. However, floors it may not be efficient for floors that have heavy traffic. The ideal cleaning method for such floors is wet mopping. Wet mopping may sound simple. However, it has its challenges.
Using normal water may leave precipitates on the floor, making the laminate floor lose its appeal. The white precipitates that streak the floor are due to the alkaline nature of water. To counter this effect, use white vinegar.
To make the vinegar solution, you need a quarter of a cup of vinegar and two gallons of warm water. Warm water works better than cold water, as it does not leave streaks on the floor. You will need a micro fiber mop for mopping the floor.
A micro fiber mop is best suited for wet mopping laminate floors because it is soft and possesses groves to pick and hold on to dirt easily. A robot mop is equally effective for this task. Always ensure that the floor is dry before stepping on it.
To avoid stepping on the floor before it dries always clean from inside outwards. That will allow you to exit the room without having to walk across a wet floor. Ensure there are no wet patches as the water is likely to damage the laminate floor surface. Use a soft towel to dry any water on the floor to avoid streaks.
Removing Stains from Laminate Floors
Stains can be an eye sore. However, you do not need to fret too much about them. You can easily remove them using a mixture of window cleaner and rubbing alcohol. Spray the mix on the stain and wipe gently with a soft towel.
Cleaning Solutions for Laminate Floors
Some of the ideal cleaning solutions for laminate floor include vinegar, window cleaner, gentle soaps and store bought-cleaners. Store-bought cleaners come in different brands. However, be careful to choose laminate floor-specific cleaners. Always avoid products with a strong detergent and alcohol, as that would cause streaks to your floor.
Vinegar is one of the safer cleaning solutions for laminate floors. It is also easy to use, as you only need to mix it with water to achieve optimum results. However, be careful to dilute it well. An abrasive solution will damage the floor and leave you regretting.
Gentle soaps such as baby shampoo can also be good cleaning solutions. They are not abrasive, hence cannot destroy the floor. However, using too much soap would leave soapy streaks on the floor.
Window cleaner is ideal for removing stains. However, you must be careful as some window cleaners contain alcohol, which is abrasive. They could therefore damage your floor, besides leaving streaks.
Mistakes to Avoid When Cleaning Laminate Floors
Although cleaning laminate floors seems challenging, it is not that difficult. The mistakes people make while cleaning make it seem like cleaning laminate floors is a mighty task. You need to avoid the following mistakes to make your cleaning more effective and free of streaks.
• Using too much water to mop
When cleaning a laminate floor, using a lot of water is not advisable. Less water is preferable. Using too much water has the potential to damage the floor as it may soak into the wood. The outcome may be peeling off the surface painting or loosening of the wood.
• Using bleach
Bleach may remove stains, but it is not good for laminate floors. It can soak into the wood or erode the shiny finish of the floor. It can also stain the floor’s color causing it to lose its luster.
• Using rag mops
Avoid using rag mops as they would slather extra water, which is harmful to your floor.
The Crux of It
A clean and spotless floor is aesthetically important for your home. It gives it a welcoming ambiance. However, many people find it difficult to keep laminate floors clean and free of streaks. Most find cleaning these floors a challenge.
Common but avoidable mistakes continue to cause damage to laminate floors. To maintain the gloss that a laminate floor gives your home, you need to know how to clean laminate wood floors. To achieve optimum cleaning outcomes, you have to get the washing ingredients right.
The method of cleaning is highly dependent on the traffic the floor handles as well as whether you are cleaning stains. Always try to vacuum before mopping as that picks up debris that would otherwise scratch the floor. With the right equipment and the right method, you will be able to have clean floors without streaks. | <urn:uuid:d25b9b87-4a1f-4e80-b9de-66b2f1306eca> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://nestkoo.com/how-to-clean-laminate-wood-floors-without-streaking/ | 2020-09-26T23:55:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.952757 | 1,605 |

Korean Student Teachers Experience Duluth
For over a decade, UMD has been hosting student teachers from Ewha Womans University for a practicum that places them in local schools.
Students from Ewha Womans University in Seoul, South Korea, just spent two weeks in Duluth for a unique cultural exchange and student teacher practicum offered through the University of Minnesota Duluth.
UMD established a partnership with Ewha Womans University in 2009. Over the past 11 years, more than 140 Ewha students have traveled to Duluth as part of the program. Hermantown, Duluth, and Cloquet have all been placement sites for the student teachers. Hermantown Community Schools has provided placements for the past four years.
Ten student teachers were placed in Hermantown Community Schools over the past couple of weeks to work with elementary, middle, and high school students. They were paired with teachers from their areas of focus, which ranged from English education to science education and special education.
Mark Mizuko, UMD professor and head of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, has been involved with the program since its early days. "The Ewha student teaching program is an excellent opportunity for the student teachers from Korea to connect with the teachers and students from Hermantown and to give them a life-changing experience they will always remember for the rest of their lives,” he said.
During their visit, the Ewha students met with CEHSP Dean Jill Pinkney Pastrana and shared their first impressions of American classrooms. A few of the students had already spent time living in the United States, though in different regions of the country.
Several students commented about the stark contrasts between the educational system in Korea and in the United States. Students were impressed with the newness of facilities and the caliber of technology at Hermantown. One participant expressed that she appreciated the openness of the school’s learning environment, which allowed Ewha students the flexibility to casually sit in and observe classes, and enjoy several teaching opportunities.
Dean Pinkney Pastrana encouraged the students to ask questions and share aspects of their culture and history with their Hermantown colleagues and students. “I invite you to make the most of every single minute of your time here,” she said. “This Ewha visit is one of the highlights of the year for many Hermantown educators and their students.”
Superintendent of Hermantown Community Schools Kerry Juntunen is a UMD alumnus who recognizes the value of this exchange. “It’s been an outstanding experience for us. We always hope that it’s great for them too,” he said.
Juntunen sees the program as especially beneficial in terms of helping provide lessons in cultural literacy since the school district is made up of primarily white students and staff. “At the end of the day, it’s so important for our students to get the chance to interact with people from other cultures,” said Juntunen.
The Ewha exchange includes a range of Duluth-area experiences. Shopping in Canal Park and snowshoeing at Split Rock Lighthouse were among the activities this year.
Ewha Womans University began as Ewka Haktang in 1866. American missionary Mary F. Scranton started the school for girls with one pupil in her home at a time when there was little support for women’s education in Korea.
Over the years, Ewha Womans University has evolved to become an international co-educational institution with an enrollment of more than 21,000 students. Ewha welcomes non-degree seeking exchange and visiting students.
UMD Education students will have the chance to spend part of their student teaching assignment in South Korea at Seoul Foreign School beginning in the 2020-21 academic year.

One of our authors recently found herself in quite the predicament, where a stranger who learned of her through her books and writing, decided to cross some boundaries in the worst ways. At our agency, we care very much about our authors, and would never want them, or any other writer in the book world, experiencing what our author, Jenna Woginrich has experienced This post is also posted on her website.
By Jenna Woginrich
This morning I woke up to a snow-covered fairy tale of a farm. I hugged my dogs close before we got out of bed. I set coffee on the stove, got dressed, and started morning chores. I lit the fires in both the wood stove and my ribcage to get the work done that needs doing. Besides the animals’ breakfasts – there are freelance clients to work on, errands in town, articles to pitch, book proposals to sell – the life I made here is half creative and half body. A perfect blend that gets me outside, moves my bones, gets sunshine on my face, and gives me a way to express myself and feel useful and needed by others – even if it is just a tail-wagging goat kid that screams a lot. I am content here, and love this life. And that is what I need to realize when this place is attacked online.
Since my blog began it has had critics. That is nothing new and part of being a public figure. But recently a site has gone too far – moving into the realm of cyberstalking and harassment under New York State Law. This is taken seriously up here, since in the past this state has had slanderous websites and blogs end up in death, life sentences, restraining orders, and suicides.
In recent months an obsessed person has followed my every move online. I can not use any social media without her watching or commenting under several usernames and accounts. In some cases even creating accounts for the sole purpose of disrupting me. She doesn’t only discuss the farm and my writing – she discusses my dating life, my appearance, my sexuality, my friends, family, and finances. She knows the brand of jeans I wear and shampoo I use. She stalks me in places that have nothing to do with my farm, like those in my religious or falconry community. Responding to my posts with links to her website or accusations. This person has not kept her activity online either, and has reported me to my local Police and the DEC, sending officers to my front door. (They admit they called the police on me).
People like this assume that making anonymous accounts to accuse public people are protected by their anonymity. That is not the case. Yesterday this page and the person were reported to both the NY State Police and the FBI. I will continue to make these reports as long as these pages exist online. Enough reports warrant a federal investigation into cyberstalking, and at the very least – a restraining order. By the way, these are not anonymous restraining orders. It will be public information that you spend your time online dangerously obsessing over a woman with intent to hurt her. This type of recourse has legal precedent, and I have contacted a lawyer who specializes in such cases in NY State. I am taking this slander anymore.
I ask that you readers join me in reporting this site, and ones like it, to Blogger and Twitter as harassment. If these people want to complain or chatter about me they can do so spaces created for that kind of activity – like GOMI. But creating your own website, comments, emails, accusations, multi-platform stalking, and lifestyle obsession is not what any normal person does against a stranger. This has gone from snark into abuse and harassment and will not be tolerated any longer. | <urn:uuid:68ff2951-da64-4e90-bf6b-2205d1667ebb> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://redsofaliterary.com/2018/01/23/guest-post-by-jenna-woginrich/ | 2020-09-27T00:21:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.970419 | 774 |

Synopsis: A supernatural thriller driven by fantasy, mystery, and romance, Horns follows Ig Perrish (Daniel Radcliffe), the number one suspect for the murder of his girlfriend, Merrin (Juno Temple). Hungover from a night of hard drinking, Ig awakens one morning to find horns growing from his head and soon realizes their power drives people to confess their sins and give in to their most selfish and unspeakable impulses-an effective tool in his quest to discover what happened to his girlfriend and exact revenge on her killer. Based on the best-selling novel by Joe Hill.
eyelights: its main gimmick. its twisted humour. its terrific cast. its plot development.
eyesores: its obvious reveal. its crap CGI.
“People say you should always do the right thing. But sometimes there is no right thing, and then… well, then you just have to pick the sin you can live with.”
Ig is a young man accused of murdering the love of his life, Merrin. Released on bail, he’s hounded by the media as well as local protesters. Aside for Lee, his best friend, a public defender who is mounting his defense, Ig has few allies: even his parents harbour doubts about his innocence.
One morning, waking up from a bender after having partied with a former childhood friend, Ig finds small horns on his forehead. Though they sometimes disturb the locals, these growing protuberances also imbue Ig with powers that will help him discover the truth about Merrin’s death.
And everyone’s darkest truths.
‘Horns’ is a 2013 horror film with a twist. Based on the Joe Hill (Stephen King’s son, naturellement!) novel, it’s a murder mystery that pokes fun at the masks of propriety that almost everyone wears, removing them to reveal its characters’ deepest, most misanthropic thoughts and desires.
It’s this glance into their hearts’ darkness that make the picture so much fun, because it lets loose what so many of us wish to say but don’t – and then it pushes it a few notches further (Heh heh). It elicits on-screen shock and outrage at every turn but also inspires giddy delight in its audience.
The filmmakers used this gimmick to add a darkly comic tone to the proceedings, complementing the campy quality of the premise: a guy starts growing horns, reacts badly to it, while everyone else are too self-obsessed to really care. Between these two humourous elements, ‘Horns’ is a hoot.
But it’s also a tragic tale: Ig’s world has completely collapsed. Not only has he lost the love of his life, not only is blamed for her murder, not only is he shunned by almost everyone, he is also subject to everyone’s secret truths – which inevitably include his loved ones’ feelings about him.
And it’s not always pretty.
This leads to a number of soul-crushing realizations about the people closest to him, further isolating him in his torment. The only hope left for him at that point is finding the culprit, even if it’s himself, and then exacting revenge on all those who have contributed to the destruction of his life.
Daniel Radcliffe is really quite excellent as Ig. He’s done everything he could do to escape his Harry Potter image and he’s done a credible job of it. He was able to play both sides of Ig: the romantic, optimistic side and the grim, self-destructive one. I can hardly imagine anyone better for the part.
The rest of the cast is also very good, though no one outshines Radcliffe (David Morse comes close as Merrin’s grief-stricken, embittered father). The casting was really excellent on this movie, choosing the right people for the campier performances, and the right ones for the more realistic ones.
The picture goes back and forth between the past and the present, fleshing out the dynamic between Ig and his then-preteen friends, and exploring how Ig and Merrin met, how their relationship bloomed, and showing us all the connecting pieces that blissfully bound them together… forever.
While these nostalgic moments were really enjoyable and sometimes heartwarming, my favourite moments were in the present, with Ig inadvertently using his powers on an old friend crushing on him, turning the staff and patients of the local clinic on each other, or taking the p!ss out of journalists.
These moments really made me laugh and delighted me, and yet they paled in comparison to the impact of Ig having the local priest admit to wanting to lynch him, or of his mother pleading for him to exit her life permanently, or of hearing his father’s devastation at the death of Merrin. Ouch… brutal.
No wonder Ig is enslaved by the bottle.
The third act reveals much, some of which is deeply touching, but the truth about Merrin’s murder was telegraphed to some degree (let’s just say that I wasn’t surprised to find out who was involved…). Having said that, since it was never designed to shock us, the way it was delivered was superb.
The filmmakers, knew we knew – so they put a twist on it.
Where the film fails is mostly on a technical level, specifically with its CGI. I simply don’t understand why the filmmakers didn’t just use real snakes or actually light a car on fire instead of using computers to insert the images into the scenes – especially since this can be done for real. And well.
(Ahem… unlike the sh!t CGI used here.)
Otherwise, though, ‘Horns’ was a lot of fun; it was a really nice surprise. Given its title and the picture of Radcliffe with horns on his head, I would have thought nothing of it if not for Joe Hill’s involvement. So I certainly wouldn’t blast anyone for also dismissing it. But, seriously, it’s their loss.
All hail ‘Horns’.

Presented by Capital One
At Transform’s second annual Women in AI Breakfast presented by Capital One and Intel, powerful women from tech companies across the industry gathered to talk about how women, particularly women of color, can take their seats at the table in the technology industry.
“Much has been written about the industry’s pipeline problem, and how we can increase diversity in tech companies,” said Carla Saavedra Kochalski, director of conversational AI and messaging products at Capital One who provided opening remarks. “Many say they don’t hire women or people of color candidates because there aren’t enough qualified candidates. And it’s true — there are fewer of women than men with computer science degrees.”
But what if that low number is more of a symptom, than a cause? Roughly 56% of women leave the technology industry by the mid-level point in their careers. These women are often driven out of a promising career in tech by a number of factors, including institutional barriers, microaggressions in the workplace, and bias. But what about the 44% who stay in tech?
Women who receive regular training are more likely to stay in their tech careers than those who don’t. They succeed because they get regular feedback, both positive and negative, and tend to have stronger role models and peer networks.“
A panel discussion followed, with Kay Firth-Butterfield, Head of AI and Machine Learning and Member of the Executive Committee, World Economic Forum; Dr. Timnit Gebru, Co-lead of Ethical AI Research Team, Google Brain; Francesca Rossi, IBM Fellow and AI Ethics Global Leader, IBM Research; and moderator Jaime Fitzgibbon, Founder & CEO, Ren.ai.ssance Insights.
“We have a long way to go, which is why role models are very important,” Rossi said. “Women need to understand much earlier, that they can have place in a technological environment.”
Firth-Butterfield noted how essential it is to bring women with different cultural and academic backgrounds into the AI and tech space.
“Even with a lot of support behind it, it’s very difficult to move women into the STEM careers,” she said. “One of the things that we are doing at the forum is creating an AI Youth Council to bring young people in from around the world to talk about AI and the issues that affect them today.”
Gebru emphasized that the term “underrepresented majority” is important to bring forward because it highlights the fact that most of the groups talked about are not necessarily a minority in the world, but the majority. These movements have to have an intersectional lens, take into account the multiple angles and dimensions of marginalization, and keep the most marginalized of these groups front and center, she said.
“In these discussions, it’s essential to look at intersections of race, class, gender, and all of these different dimensions of marginalization, or I think that we will fail to advance all women,” Gebru said. “I think that’s true in anything, and especially in AI.”
But in these conversations about diversity and inclusion, it’s easy to fall into the trap of talking on behalf of — and over — underrepresented majorities.
“There’s the term ‘nothing about us without us,’” Gebru said. “When you’re advocating for a certain group of people, are you lifting their voice, are you passing the mic, are they talking, or are you talking on their behalf? Advocacy starts from watching out for our own actions and behavior.”
An important part of the solution is self-education, she added, which allows you to view the problem in a more holistic lens. She also offered tools for the quest toward equality and recommended attendees follow folks like Meredith Broussard, AI researcher and author of “Artificial Unintelligence: How Computers Misunderstand the World”; Ruha Benjamin, Founding Director of the Ida B. Wells Just Data Lab and author of Race after Technology; Simone Browne, author of Dark Matters; and other women of color who are advancing the conversation around AI ethics and race.
It takes establishing initiatives that support and uplift women in the workplace, said Huma Abidi, Senior Director of AI Products, Intel, who founded the Women in Machine Learning forum at Intel. The company was able to meet its goal for 2020, which was to represent women at all levels. The next goal is to have 40% representation of women in technology at all levels of the company by 2030.
“More and more women are stepping up to address this challenge to correct bias in AI and to ensure that AI solutions are ethical and fair,” Abidi adds. “I get inspired, when I see Fei-Fei Li leading human-centered AI at Stanford, when I hear about Meredith Whittaker working on the social implications of AI at the AI Now Institute, and more. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I see that we are heading in the right direction.” | <urn:uuid:88a59cb6-d8d2-446a-8aca-9e6185f2fa4b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://venturebeat.com/2020/07/17/ai-women-leaders-talk-ethics-advancing-representation-and-more-at-transforms-women-in-ai-breakfast/ | 2020-09-26T23:45:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.961633 | 1,095 |

While the world has been enthralled by the scuffle between China and the US with the “race” to 5G, other experts around the world have been quietly researching 6G. Finland, a leader in wireless technology, has robust 6G research facilities that many have overlooked.
In case you haven’t had a chance to read about them, we’re taking a closer look at the University of Oulu’s 6G Flagship program right here and sharing everything you need to know.
What’s Going on with 6G in Finland?
Glad you asked. Turns out, a lot.
Although the world has been largely preoccupied with the efforts of the US, China, Japan, and South Korea in each successive wireless generation, Finland has quietly transformed itself into a global forerunner.
It developed research facilities in the 1990s, but they largely remained obscure until just a couple of years ago. And Oulu, Finland – a city known for its entrepreneurial spirit – has been the seat of it.
In March 2020, 6G Flagship, the research program of the University of Oulu, held its second annual 6G Wireless Summit. Both years have attracted telecommunications leaders from all over the world and made it clear that Finland intends to keep its position at the front of the 6G research pack.
So, what’s so great about Finland and the University of Oulu’s 6G Flagship? Here’s a closer look.
The University of Oulu’s 6G Flagship Program Explained
In 2018, the University of Oulu launched the 6G Flagship program to lead the way to a future with 6G. According to the program itself, the primary mission includes:
- Supporting the industry finalization of 5G: Flagship will assist with the piloting of new technologies needed for businesses to fully realize the potentials of 5G.
- Technological research for 6G: Realizing that 6G requires substantial technological advancements, Flagship will partner with other thinkers to identify and address those needs.
- Accelerate the digitalization of society: Believing that 5G will bring about mass digitalization, Flagship is committed to supporting its development.
The program specifically invites international partnerships, declaring a commitment to a “joint effort of traditional and new stakeholders” that will help usher in a new paradigm for future technology. In other words, they seem to be disinterested in reserving 6G research and development for just a few heavyweight elites.
To date, several telecommunications industries ranging in size from India and the US have joined the 6G Flagship ecosystem. While the University itself doesn’t publish a list, some public partnership announcements have mentioned Wipro, Keysight Technologies, Tech Mahindra, and InterDigital.
They’ve also got their own whitepaper.
The 7 Key Drivers and Research Challenges of 6G
Although everyone lost it a little when NTT Docomo dropped its spectacular whitepaper in early 2020, the University of Oulu beat its Japanese counterpart by about four months.
In September 2019, the 6G Flagship program produced a publicly available whitepaper. Perhaps more grounded than speculating on the internet in space and undersea, it nonetheless thoroughly identified and analyzed what the program sees as the key drivers and research challenges for 6G in the coming decade. These include:
1. Societal and business pressures: 6G Flagship believes that data will be the bottom line for 6G, and the rise of a data market economy is on the way. That means we’ll need better indoor networks, signal boosting, and technology that better supports a mobile business ecosystem.
2. Use cases and new devices: Many experts, including NTT Docomo, believe that 6G will render smartphones obsolete as AI takes over. 6G Flagship’s whitepaper echoes this, noting that we’ll achieve pervasive extended reality and specialized processors for wireless networks.
3. Spectrum and KPI targets: Transmitting data on the terabit spectrum will need new metrics, such as absorption and reflection rates. Technical KPIs, like simply speed, won’t be enough.
4. Radio hardware progress and challenges: Current technology is not physically capable of transmitting at the speeds we’ll need for 6G. We’ll also need technology capable of merging communication types for a more integrated experience.
5. Physical layers and wireless systems: With the rise of AI in our communications networks, we’ll need the ability to shape signals for spectral efficiency and reconsider the way we secure our networks on cyber and physical levels.
6. 6G networking: 6G will require “embedded trust” – a security concept that simplifies authentication by building a system involving secured hardware.
7. New service enablers: Trust and privacy will be the key prerequisites the creation of a 6G network, fundamentally driven by the merging of communication types and technologies.
It’s clear that the program fully expects 6G to dramatically alter the way we create, collect, process, store, and transmit data on our wireless networks. However, to accomplish all of these things, we need more than the development of technology and space on the spectrum. We need a paradigm shift regarding wireless connectivity altogether – and the University of Oulu intends to be at its forefront.

With 5G rolling out all around the world, many of the most forward-thinking researchers are turning their attention to 6G – and for many good reasons. It might be a decade or more away, but if visionaries like those in Oulu are to be believed, then we’ve got more ahead of us than simply the development of new technologies.
5G will enhance the world, but 6G will change it. That’s why research has already begun.

SAN DIEGO – Madison Bumgarner dearly wanted to compete in the All-Star Home Run Derby here at Petco Park. The string pullers kept it from happening.
So Bumgarner was a spectator for the power show. And when he took the mound Friday night, the home run display continued. Adam Rosales and Wil Myers hit solo shots off Bumgarner and the Giants began the unofficial second half with a 4-1 loss to the San Diego Padres.
The Giants (57-34) lost for the first time in 10 games against the Padres this season; they were seeking to set a franchise record for consecutive victories against an opponent within a single season.
Bumgarner allowed a season high-tying four earned runs in six innings and the Giants couldn t muster much against right-hander Andrew Cashner. Combined with the Dodgers victory at Arizona, the Giants lead in the NL West was trimmed to a very assailable 5 games.
Bumgarner s night was a series of frustration flashpoints. He appeared to bark at either Travis Jankowski or Padres first base coach Tarrik Brock in the third inning, when they waited on first base to see if San Diego manager Andy Green would challenge a force play at first base. Bumgarner had fielded Jankowski s bunt and threw to first base for the out. Plate umpire Mike Estabrook stepped between Bumgarner and Jankowski as the rest of the players walked off the field.
Bumgarner offered a grim stare back at Cashner in the fifth inning after he chased an 0-2 waste pitch out of the zone.
Then Bumgarner stared at Myers all the way around the bases after the Padres All-Star first baseman held his pose on his home run.
Giants first baseman Brandon Belt had his own flashpoint in the ninth inning, drawing his first career ejection after taking a called third strike. Giants manager Bruce Bochy came out to argue and was ejected as well.
It was not the kind of night that a hopeful Giants fan might have envisioned. Bumgarner (10-5) was coming off a 14-strikeout victory against Arizona in which he took a no-hitter into the eighth inning. He was facing the Padres, a team the Giants have no-hit three times since 2009. Bumgarner finished just four outs short of a perfect game against the Padres last year. And the player who broke up that bid, Melvin Upton Jr., was placed on the bereavement list prior to the game.
Any anticipation from the strong contingent of Giants fans vanished in the first inning. Bumgarner gave up a run when Myers drew a walk and Yangervis Solarte lined an RBI double down the left field line.
Bumgarner struck out nine in six innings, but did not have the same command of the big, syrupy curveball that he used so often to put away Diamondbacks hitters five days earlier.
The Giants drew even in the second inning when Brandon Crawford tagged an opposite-field double and scored on Conor Gillaspie s single. But the Padres jumped ahead with three consecutive singles to start the third inning, including a blast off Myers s bat that deflected off Gillaspie.
Then Bumgarner paid for two more mistakes. Rosales drove a 1-0 fastball in the fourth inning, and Myers took him deep on a slider in the fifth.
The Padres made the plays to protect their lead, including a spectacular catch from Solarte after the third baseman went into the stands and emerged with a Nacho cheese-covered ball in the ninth inning.
The Giants sent Hunter Pence to begin his minor league rehab assignment, with the expectation that he ll get 30 at-bats with Triple-A Sacramento before he rejoins the active roster.
Bochy estimated that Pence, who is coming off surgery June 9 to remove a torn right hamstring tendon, would spend at least a week with the River Cats.
But then again, I said that last year, added Bochy, remembering that the club cut short Pence s rehab assignment from a forearm fracture and the right fielder promptly hit a home run in his first game back.
The Giants will be cautious because Pence hasn t played since June 2 and is just more than five weeks removed from surgery. The current plan calls for him to play five innings for Sacramento at Round Rock, Texas, on Saturday, then five more innings on Sunday. He d take Monday off and then resume playing for Sacramento at New Orleans on Tuesday.
Second baseman Joe Panik passed a series of balance and concussion tests Friday morning, so the Giants were completing paperwork to send it to the league office and union.
Once that step is completed, Panik will be cleared to begin his minor league rehab assignment Sunday or Monday. It s expected Panik will play just three or four games for an unspecified affiliate, then be activated in time for next Friday s series opener at Yankee Stadium.
Panik said he s confident he has turned a corner and won t experience more symptoms.
I could feel a difference especially with all the work and exercise, Panik said. I knew I d be able to pass (the tests).
Right-hander Matt Cain got blasted in his final rehab start for Single-A San Jose, allowing nine earned runs on 10 hits in four innings. But the start came in the High Desert at Lancaster, with a 25 mph wind blowing out. (Think Coors Field with one of Wrigley s summer breezes.)
The Giants wanted Cain to build his pitch count, and he did. He threw 93 pitches while striking out two and issuing three walks. He s expected to come off the disabled list to start Wednesday against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Infielder Ehire Adrianza found the rehab conditions more to his liking. He hit a pair of home runs at Lancaster.
Right-hander Cory Gearrin, who is on the DL with shoulder inflammation, played catch from 70 feet for a second consecutive day and said he s feeling improvement. Gearrin remains hopeful he can be activated before the road trip ends.
The Giants put out a statement apologizing for the interruption of Spanish radio broadcasts after ESPN Deportes lost its signal rights in the Bay Area. The organization said it was working hard with ESPN Deportes to resolve this situation as quickly as possible to get games with Erwin Higueros and Tito Fuentes back on the air.

What happens when left brain and right brain are on the same side?
Waterborne Environmental is an environmental engineering firm that concentrates on complex modeling and GIS-mapping of chemical dispersion. As the company expanded its leadership team and sought to enter new markets, they realized it was time to recalibrate their brand to accurately reflect their expertise. The circle S team conducted in-depth discovery interviews with both internal and external audiences of highly credentialed scientists. What came through loud and clear was that, while many larger firms claimed to offer the same level of expertise, few could match Waterborne’s depth. There was also a strong undercurrent of sentiment that clients appreciated both their lofty thinking and down-to-earth values. The messaging platform we developed emphasized their ability to bring clarity to complexity and their commitment to balanced science for the greater good. | <urn:uuid:89e2c7c4-000a-472b-8967-e3ad1cac16c3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.circlesstudio.com/projects/waterborne-environmental/ | 2020-09-27T01:50:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.970225 | 173 |
Capital Markets Malaysia, an affiliate of the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC), hosted an event to generate greater awareness of capital raising and investment opportunities in the Malaysian capital market.
The target audience was micro, small-and-medium enterprises (MSMEs); and entrepreneurs. The half-day forum focused on how Malaysian businesses can tap into the full spectrum of capital market funding solutions from IPOs and bonds to alternative market-based financing, including equity crowdfunding and peer-to-peer (P2P) financing to fund and expand their business operations.
SC Deputy Chief Executive, Datuk Zainal Izlan Zainal Abidin, said their priority is to broaden access to investing and financing opportunities, particularly for segments which traditionally have been under-served, and encourage greater participation with the aim of building an inclusive capital market.
According to the SC, a key focus is the development of small businesses which contribute more than 37% of GDP. Yet, these same small businesses remain underserved.
SC has a reputation for promoting Fintech innovation and supports the “digitisation to meet the financing needs of MSMEs and attract a new generation of investors.”
SC reports that crowdfunding and P2P financing platforms have thus far helped over 900 SMEs collectively raise close to RM350 million for their business expansion in the past three years. | <urn:uuid:fcc8e5ea-4be7-4705-8ee5-f26ea527c653> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2019/06/148937-securities-commission-malaysia-promotes-financing-opportunities-for-small-business-including-crowdfunding-p2p-lending/ | 2020-09-27T01:47:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.939921 | 275 |

Word that The Old Man of Heaven’s Keep, Li Rui, had come to Nine Heavens Holy Land spread like wildfire through the nine peaks!
From all over the nine peaks, many disciples put down whatever they were doing and ran over to the reception hall, filled with curiosity, hoping to catch a glimpse of this world famous Grandmaster.
The source of all this was because Xu Hui had accidentally shouted Old Man Li’s name.
When Yang Kai and the five Grandmasters escorted Old Man Li and Di Yao into Nine Heavens Holy Land, Xu Hui quickly inquired about their identities; after all, he was the Holy Land’s Great Elder and could not mistreat any distinguished guests.
After learning that this old man was actually The Old Man of Heaven’s Keep, Xu Hui couldn’t stop himself from calling out in shock, only then understanding why Yang Kai would rush out so eagerly to meet him, and why the five Grandmasters behaved like obedient disciples in front of this old man.
In this world, only Old Man Li had such qualifications, and only he could command such respect from these five Grandmasters.
The result of Xu Hui’s gaff though was news had rapidly spread out.
A few thousand of the Holy Land’s disciples had soon formed an almost watertight crowd around the reception hall.
The world never lacked for supreme talents. Thousands of years ago, the Demon Race had produced Great Demon God, the greatest master in history, but today, Old Man Li of the Human Race had risen to the top of the world.
The Human, Demon, and Monster Races all opposed one another, and it was not an exaggeration to say hostilities between the three races had never ceased, but if there was anyone in the entire world who each of these three races would receive with courtesy, besides The Old Man of Heaven’s Keep, there was no other.
Even Demon Commander Zhang Yuan and the three Monster Race Great Seniors wouldn’t dare act disrespectful in front of Old Man Li.
Unfortunately, Old Man Li was a hidden dragon who showed his tail but never his face. There were very few people who even knew his true appearance, and no one had heard anything about him for many years. Back in Floating Cloud City, Old Man Li had also quietly arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion in order to not alarm too many people.
There were many rumors that he had actually passed away long ago, making the common people sigh
But unexpectedly, he had taken the initiative to come to Nine Heavens Holy Land today.
“Have you all looked enough? Don’t you have anything better to do? If you keep standing there staring I’ll dig out all or your eyes!” Xu Hui coldly snorted as he shouted to the crowd.
The thousands of disciples were all shocked out of their daze and quickly made like frightened birds and beasts
Inside the hall, Yang Kai apologized, “I’ve let Old Man Li see something disgraceful, don’t worry, I will order these disciples restrain themselves.”
“No need, no need,” Old Man Li waved his hand to indicate he didn’t mind, “Normally, I try to avoid letting others know about my whereabouts, but this time… I hope that as many as possible know I am here.”
“Hm, why would that be?” Inside the hall, the Holy Land’s Elder and the five Alchemy Grandmasters stared at Old Man Li in confusion.
Old Man Li light expression suddenly became serious as he asked, “Recently, this old man has heard some disturbing news, and that this news actually spread from here, yes?”
“Then those rumours…”
“They’re true!” Yang Kai replied solemnly
“Sure enough,” Old Man Li sighed and said, “This old man also heard that Zhang Yuan and the three Monster Race Great Seniors have all begun to act, but most of the major Human forces have chosen to take a wait-and-see approach.”
“En,” Yang Kai expression sank, “Hearing rumours and seeing with one’s own eyes are two very different things. They also don’t know some ancient secrets like Zhang Yuan and the Monster Race’s Great Seniors, so them having doubts isn’t strange.”
After a pause, Yang Kai added, “But not everyone has chosen to remain idle, Soaring Heaven Sect, Dragon Phoenix Palace, Twin Spirit Pavilion, and Bold Independent Union have all sent word that their masters will soon arrive.”
“With only the Sects which had close ties to Little Friend Yang’s, how many masters will you be able to gather? I’m afraid that when the Demon and Monster Race arrive, we will become laughing stalks. In today’s world, our Human Race occupies the strongest position and this matter has actually occurred inside our territory, yet only the Demon and Monster Race are willing to contribute their full strength to resolving this issue, how improper of us!”
“Unfortunately that is just how things are, I have no way to compel these forces to act!” Yang Kai said helplessly.
“Does Little Friend Yang know which force has the greatest amount of influence in this world?” Old Man Li suddenly smiled and asked.
“Which force has the greatest influence?” Yang Kai was surprised by this question but quickly thought it over, “My Nine Heavens Holy Land’s name is quite loud right now and can be considered one of the world’s top forces. Soaring Heaven Sect is also quite good but I don’t believe there is a great difference between these two and other top forces.”
“En, there are many cultivation paradises and powerful forces throughout the world, there are also many top masters who have not appeared for many years, whether they’re even alive or not uncertain,” He Feng added.
“Old Man Li, which of these forces do you believe to be the most influential?” Du Wan asked curiously.
Old Man Li chuckled and didn’t answer directly, instead commenting lightly, “Little Friend Yang, the rise of your Nine Heavens Holy Land, this old man has heard much about. It is said that the appearance of a mysterious Alchemy Grandmaster has allowed Nine Heavens Holy Land to reach a height which surpasses even its peak former glory.”
“That’s right!” Yang Kai nodded, his eyes suddenly brightening, somewhat understanding which force Old Man Li was referring to.
“A single profound Alchemy Grandmaster caused many cultivators to travel from far and wide to seek Alchemy services, what would happen if all the world’s Alchemists were to come here?”
“The Alchemist Guild!” Yang Kai shouted.
Old Man Li smiled and nodded, “If you can convince the Alchemist Guild to act, I believe the world’s great forces and experts would all move.”
“Has Old Man Li come here today for this reason?” Yang Kai looked towards him excitedly.
“Good, since becoming famous, this old man has secluded himself away and not intervened in worldly matters. For the past thousand years I have not done anything worthy of note for this world yet countless people revere and respect me, causing my heart to feel unsettled. Now that there is an opportunity for my influence to make a difference, this old man will naturally not let it off. En, although this old man was not born handsome, I believe I’ll be able to attract at least a few people’s attention,” Old Man Li smiled as he explained.
“I’ll go now to the Alchemist General’s headquarters and negotiate with them to take a stand!” Hong Fang hurriedly stood up.
“There’s no need for that, Master has already sent word to the Alchemist Guild about this matter before coming here. En, while he was at it, he also contacted many of his old friends!” Di Yao smiled and said confidently, “It shouldn’t be long before many people start arriving here.”
Inside the hall, the looks of everyone’s face filled with happiness and excitement.
Regardless of whether these people do so voluntarily or not, as long as they come, the Three Clans could collaborate to solve the problem of the Bone Race as soon as possible.
“Many thanks, Old Man Li!” Yang Kai said seriously.
“It is this old man who should be thanking Little Friend Yang on behalf of the world’s common people. It was Little Friend Yang who rushed about to rally the Three Clans, the dedication and care you hold for this world’s people is so great that this old man must admit his inferiority,” Old Man Li looked towards Yang Kai approvingly.
Yang Kai hesitated for a moment before saying, “Old Man Li misunderstands; I did not run around gathering the Three Clan and sending messengers to all the major forces out of some sense of righteousness, nor because I wanted to save this world.”
“Oh? Then why is Little Friend Yang acting so fervently, according to what this old man has heard, it was you who personally convinced the Demon and Monster Race to stand with you.”
“En, because I want to resolve the Bone Race issue as soon as possible so I can handle a personal matter. If I do not first solve the Bone Race, they will become an unwanted distraction,” Yang Kai replied sincerely.
Old Man Li stared at him deeply for a moment but did not ask him what this personal matter he wanted to deal with was, instead just letting out a chuckle, “No matter what your objective is, what you’ve done is a great meritorious deed, later generations who read tales of this day will no doubt see Little Friend Yang and Nine Heavens Holy Land’s names.”
Yang Kai could only let out a wry laugh.
Ten days later, Nine Heavens Holy Land had not yet seen the appearance of any Human Race master, but several Saint Grade Alchemists from the Alchemist Guild had actually arrived.
These Alchemists usually secluded themselves in their homes, and with their honoured status, it was always others who came to seek them out, but today, as if they had some prior agreement to, they all poured into Nine Heavens Holy Land.
Because The Old Man of Heaven’s Keep was here!
Each of them came here filled with anticipation, excitement and admiration.
Over the next few days, Saint Grade Alchemist from around the world arrived.
After learning the news, they had raced over even faster than the Human Race’s powerhouses.
In just ten days, the number of Saint Grade Alchemists inside Nine Heavens Holy Land had nearly reached thirty; almost ninety percent of the entire world’s Saint Grade Alchemists!
As for the remaining ten percent, they were all on their way.
Along with these Saint Grade Alchemists, a number of Human Race masters from various forces also began to arrive.
There were even several Third Order Saints!
Each of these masters were around a thousand years old and were old acquaintances with Old Man Li. After hearing his call, they had all rushed over without hesitation.
These top masters had also brought their own subordinates and disciples along with them to the nine peaks.
Soaring Heaven Sect’s Chu Ling Xiao had come together with Yang Kai’s four Martial Seniors too.
Chu Ling Xiao also seemed to know all of these old folks and each of them spent their time greeting and talking with one another
All of them praised Chu Ling Xiao about how outstanding a youth Yang Kai was.
As time passed, more and more Human Race masters assembled in the nine peaks, none of them possessing a cultivation lower than the Transcendent Realm.
The Alchemist Guild had announced that this time, if any great force did not give them face, the Alchemist Guild would act in kind, not only denying them Alchemy services, but even refusing to sell them spirit grasses and spirit medicines in the future.
This announcement had shaken the world and every force, big and small, did not hesitate to turn out in full strength.
They might be able to offend others, but none dared offend the entire world’s Alchemist, especially with The Old Man of Heaven’s Keep actually stepping forward to take the lead; none could withstand universal condemnation.
Once a cultivator no longer had access to pills, their days would be miserable.
Moreover, it was not like there were no benefits to showing up, the Alchemist Guild had pledged that after this matter was settled, all their Alchemists would provide Alchemy services for free for the next three years, including those Saint Grade Alchemist who would rarely personally take action!
No one would easily let go of such a huge advantage.
The entire nine peaks became very lively in a short period of time, with various masters emerging one after another.
With the introductions of Old Man Li and Chu Ling Xiao, Yang Kai also became acquainted with many of these top masters.
Time flew by and one month later, from the horizon, a terrifying Demonic Qi emerged, while at the same time, from a different direction, the sky filled with potent Monster Qi.
The masters inside the nine peaks all looked towards the sky, their expression becoming dignified.
On the other hand, Yang Kai’s eyes brightened as he muttered, “The masters from the Demon and Monster Races have arrived!” | <urn:uuid:3d66fc52-d766-4b4c-a85d-9feeb850b9e0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.divinedaolibrary.com/martial-peak-chapter-966-assemble-at-nine-heavens-holy-land/?replytocom=60374 | 2020-09-27T01:22:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.971002 | 2,934 |
Life can get rather expensive at times as all too many consumers know.
That said are you finding ways to save money?
While you do not want to get in a habit overspending, you can’t afford to sit home 24/7 or stop going for groceries and more.
So, what steps should you be taking to keep more of your money?
Finding Deals to Lessen Your Financial Burden
In coming up with ways to enjoy life and yet still save money, keep the following in mind:
- Finding deals – How good are you when it comes to finding deals? Such deals can be at the grocery store, when you travel and more. The key is to do your homework to know where to look for the deals in the first place. So, be willing to make the time and effort to get the savings. If you fail to do this, it more times than not will mean less money being in your wallet. You can sign up for things like a rewards card at your area grocery store you like to shop at. Doing so can mean savings each time you go in to shop for goods. Often, there is no charge to sign up for such a card.
- Getting tax deductions – Are you good at scoring deductions when it comes to your taxes? For example, did you send your child to summer camp this past summer? Or, are you thinking of doing so when summer rolls around again? If so, take the time to see is summer camp tax deductible. If it is, you score savings and your child benefits from going. For many parents, summer camp is a great way for them to provide their children with some education and fun. Since you want to make sure your child is active enough when school is out, summer camp can be a great choice. In the process, you could get a tax deduction. Also, if you run your own small business from home, are you taking advantage of various tax deductions? Be sure to go over them with your tax preparer or if you do your own taxes to not miss out on savings.
- Networking with others – Another way to save some dollars is networking with others. As an example, talk with outside family and also friends. See how they go about finding savings in their own lives. The networking can lead to you getting help from others you know and vice-versa. Share savings tips and info when you come across such things. For instance, do you like to travel to theme parks and your outside family and close friends know this? If yes, have them tip you off on deals for such venues. You can do the same for them when it comes to things they like. Use word-of-mouth and things seen on social media to score the savings ideas.
In coming up with smart ways to save money, do all you can to make it happen.
While life’s expenses do add up, there is no reason you can’t find savings along the way to make life more enjoyable. | <urn:uuid:643290de-fd06-40ec-8127-0a71a44ea87f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.foroes.net/what-are-you-doing-to-save-money/ | 2020-09-27T00:54:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962191 | 614 |
CENTRAL Queensland property Solferino sold under the hammer on Friday for $18.9 million to local buyers Ben and Hayley Mulcahy.
The 7148-hectare holding is located in the Kilcummin district north of Clermont, and was offered for sale by the Nicholas family, who have owned the property since 1965.
Solferino was listed with Landmark Harcourts Emerald, and agent Matthew Beard said 10 bidders registered for the auction.
Most of were from the wider Clermont district, with parties also from northern and southern Queensland.
Bidding opened at $14M.
“On the freehold area, it achieved $1116 per acre, which was above a lot of people’s expectations.
“It’s a tightly held area so it’s difficult to compare prices, but it was a very good result.”
Mr Beard said the Mulcahys have an existing property distance from Solferino, which they have purchased to increase their production capacity.
Solferino includes 2240ha of developed cultivation, and can carry 600-700 breeders or 1250 backgrounder cattle.
Its list of improvements is impressive, and includes 550 tonnes of silo storage, a liquid-fertiliser complex, steel cattle yards with a 500-head capacity, and a silage pit containing 1600 of Sugardrip forage sorghum, as well as two homes and a granny flat.
Solferino is described as a true mixed-farming block with excellent-quality arable soils, well-established buffel grass and a good supply of stock water.
Its cultivated area has been nearly doubled since 2013, and with 150 millimetres of rain in January, and further falls in recent weeks, the property is well placed to start planting its winter crop next month.
The property is in a prized area for growing chickpeas, wheat and sorghum, and is well located to take advantage of export opportunities out of the ports of Mackay and Gladstone, and domestic consumers in Queensland. | <urn:uuid:d64dcedb-c1d8-4171-a314-0e574c50351a> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.graincentral.com/property/solferino-sells-locally-for-18-9m-at-cq-auction/ | 2020-09-27T01:08:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.966558 | 437 |

Course Introduction: IoT, IIoT, and Industrie 4.0
Without a doubt, the Internet has changed the global landscape of data movement among all avenues and locations, and including all formats, be it text, audio, or video. All types of data are treated alike and employ standard data communication techniques and practices for its transportation. The Internet, being a node-based architecture, employs store/forward technique for data movement. With high-speed communication channels (3G, 4G, 5G, etc.), the data movement over the Internet has become very fast and efficient because of the negligible amount time required for store/forward of the data at each node.
The proposed training program discusses the application of the above developments for integration of all intelligent and communicable assets distributed in the physical world over the Internet (Internet of Things) and the related extensions in the manufacturing industry (Industrial Internet of Things and Industrie 4.0).
Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is relatively a new concept for connecting Things (anything and everything in the physical world) that are intelligent and communicable for collecting and transporting data from one place to another on the globe over Internet. The driving philosophy of IoT is to connect all physical devices (Things) for collecting their relevant data in real-time for managing the 'Things' better and to make them more reliable and predictive.
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)
IIoT is an application of IoT technology in manufacturing industry. IIoT requires all the participating devices/machines in the manufacturing process to be smart (intelligent and communicable). It is expected to lead to more accurate and consistent logging of large amount of high-speed data. In turn, the comprehensive real-time and off-line analytics of such data would enable identification of production bottlenecks, quality deficiencies, worker safety issues etc., and enable predictive maintenance.
Industrie 4.0, termed as the fourth industrial revolution, refers to total computerization of manufacturing (smart factory). Industrie 4.0 is a collective term used for a number of contemporary technologies and concepts such as automation, data exchange, lean manufacturing, etc., all put together for value chain organization. Industrie 4.0 consists of a network of cyber-physical systems (manufacturing processes), Internet of Things (Machines), and Internet of Services (cross organizational services). The driving principles are: interoperability, virtualization, decentralization, real-time capability, and modularity among manufacturing industries.
Let ISA Bangalore facilitate your technical update on these fast-evolving emerging technologies.
The in-depth training offered over two days by experts from companies such as ABB, Siemens, Intel, and Infosys will launch your journey toward a new, exciting horizon.
Who should attend?
- Automation component manufacturers
- Automation solution providers

ISA’s St. Louis Section is proud to announce a great start to the 2016-2017 Program Year. In September, the section hosted an informative presentation on cybersecurity by RKNeal, one of the companies that presented at this year’s ISA Power Industry (POWID) Symposium. The event, held at Square One Brewery and Distillery, provided an opportunity to those gathered to learn and enjoy some local craft beer.
On 11 October, discussions continued with a presentation from Turck on field logic controllers and some of the new web-based programming capabilities being released to the industry. ISA’s St. Louis Section is grateful to Neff Power for opening its facility and helping to sponsor the meeting.
To stay up-to-date with the St. Louis Section, check out the section’s website (www.isastl.org) or follow it on Twitter (@isastlouis), Facebook (http://isastl.org/facebook.com/ISAStLouisSection/) or LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/10855447).
Wednesday evenings are for exam preparation!
In the United States, engineers are licensed at the state level by professional licensing boards. In Texas, the TBPE (Texas Board of Professional Engineers) is the responsible agency. This year, 28 October was the only time the PE (Professional Engineer) Exam in the discipline of control systems engineering was offered.
For the past four years, in the 10 weeks leading up to the exam, the ISA Houston Section has offered to help its members prepare for the CSE exam by hosting weekly study group sessions at a convenient local venue. In its fifth year of the initiative, Amec Foster Wheeler has been kind enough to host the sessions at its building in the Energy Corridor. Houston Section Education Director Steven Paul Romero has served as facilitator, arranging for session presenters and using the NCEES Control Systems Exam Specifications as a guide.
In addition, ISA has given participants a generous 50% discount on study materials published by the Society. ISA corporate partners, such as Emerson, have also provided study materials, such as the Natural Gas Technologies Application Guide. The sessions began on 24 August 2016 and for 10 consecutive Wednesday evenings, the group of 15 to 20 participants met for two hours to prepare. As the exam date approached, the intensity of the sessions was ramped up.

ISA-SOIND Celebrates Silver Jubilee
The ISA South India Section (SOIND) marks 2016 as a monumental year in its history. Having started in 1991, ISA SOIND is happy to inform all that it is celebrating its SILVER JUBILEE YEAR.
The District 14 section has witnessed steady growth through the years due to the vision, dedication, hard work, and the commitment exhibited by the past office bearers, executive committee, and the section members.
As the SOIND Section looks back over the past 25 years, one constant area of focus since its inception has been ISA student sections. SOIND has continuously encouraged activities of the student sections and provided the necessary support and guidance to faculty advisors, and conducted regular programs and leadership meetings for students. Interactions of students with section leaders has been happening on a regular basis all these years. This has increased awareness about ISA activities among the student community, improved student involvement in ISA, and boosted the number of students pursuing leadership experience and careers in automation.
Since its formation, the section also has been regularly conducting technical talk sessions, technical workshops, and regional and international meetings for the benefit of all automation professionals.
Quite a few leaders and technical experts have emerged from the SOIND Section contributing significantly to ISA activities at the section, district and even at the international level. Some of these leaders also serve in various ISA Society committees.
Occasional visits of dignitaries from ISA headquarters and their interactions with SOIND section leaders have also been very encouraging.
Many supporters associated with SOIND have been honored with prestigious awards by ISA over the years, notably the following:
- S. Raghavachari was the recipient of Bailey award from ISA n 1998.
- S. Renganathan was honored with Donald P. Eckman award in 2000. (He is also the first ISA Fellow from Asia.)
- Senior Life Member V. Nagendran was awarded Distinguished Society Service Award in 2011.
- J. Prakash received the Emerging Leader of Year award in 2011. He was named ISA Fellow in 2014.
- Vimala Juliet was named ISA Fellow in 2016. She was honored for Excellence in Education and as Student Mentor of the Year in 2014 and as Volunteer Leader of the Year in 2015.
- Many students associated with our student sections also have received ISA awards.
In these changing times in the world of automation, the SOIND Section is striving to communicate the value of ISA to all members and automation professionals.
While the section is proud of its progress and achievements over the past 25 years, it’s no doubt looking forward to reaching new heights in the future with the cooperation of all concerned.

Archbishop Agobard of Lyons was angry: How dare Louis the Pious—leader of the Frankish Empire—grant the Jews charters permitting them to sell Christian slaves. How dare the heir of Charlemagne allow Jewish women to flaunt their opulent dress like the women of the Emperor’s court. It was an outrage that the market day was switched from Saturday to Sunday to accommodate the Jewish merchants whom Charlemagne invited into his kingdom in the early years of the ninth century CE. The archbishop protested that the royal court favored the Jews and granted them charters to conduct business and be a self-governing entity. How could the killers of Christ be treated so well in Central Europe in the heart of Christendom? They deserved to be humiliated and debased, not lauded and favored by the powers that be. Archbishop Agobard sent a letter with these protests to Louis the Pious around the year 825. For Agobard, Christian theology was not jibing with political reality. This chasm could not be tolerated.
As far as we know, the Emperor simply ignored the archbishop’s protest. Jews were good business for the Frankish Empire—this trumped all else, including Church theology. Agobard’s protests indicate that not every period of Jewish history was a tale of misery and persecution. Whether in ancient Alexandria, medieval Granada or early modern Cracow, Jewish life thrived often in the Diaspora. Of course, every golden age ended in persecution, forced conversion or exile. But more often than not, Jews benefited from Emperors, Kings, Caliphs and Sultans who did not conform to cleric’s calls for their humiliation due to the beliefs of Christianity or Islam. As killers of Christ and infidels who rejected Muhammad as a prophet, Jews had a status of inferiority. But this seemed to not always interfere with their success as merchants, poets, rabbis, physicians and philosophers. Often, there was a gap between political and economic reality and that of religious dogma.
The time has come for Jews to dispense with the narrative that all roads of Jewish history in the Diaspora lead to the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Jews were not a wandering people. The Jewish elite was often quite influential and powerful in different places at different times. The “Court Jews” of 18th-century Germany received special privileges to live outside the ghetto and were crucial as bankers and suppliers of armies of absolutist Germanic states. As I say often in these pages, persecution did not drive the Jews into the protective and welcoming arms of Christianity and Islam. Jews held their bearing as a Chosen People whose culture, beliefs and way of life were superior to that of the non-Jewish majority. Only with the onset of modernity do we see the beginnings of an inferiority complex that has proven devastating to Jewish continuity and survival.
Yes, after the events of the past century and those of our own time, Jewish sovereignty and a Jewish army in the Land of Israel are a must. We cannot survive without them. But to simply write off 2500 years of a thriving Jewish life in the Diaspora as a black hole of terror and suffering is to engage in national amnesia. Hatred of Jews has been a reality for millennia and will continue to be a reality. That is a sobering and depressing statement but it is true. While we must battle against anti-Semitism and stand up for ourselves as a people and a nation and a faith community, we must not make the mistake of dismissing centuries of Jewish economic success, literary and religious creativity, and successful self-government as failures to be thrown away and forgotten. We must not view all of Jewish history through a lens of our experiences in modernity. We can learn from a past that had its share of persecution and exile. But that is only one part of a grander story that has yet to be told. | <urn:uuid:8569c300-3642-46f5-b75d-45c1bbc64fc4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.jpost.com/blogs/past-imperfect-confronting-jewish-history/archbishop-agobards-jewish-problem-445066 | 2020-09-27T01:11:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.972459 | 807 |
How to build a brand worth being loyal to
What in the world does it mean to have customers that are 'brand loyal'?
It's the dream of almost every business to be someone's 'go-to'; the brand that they buy religiously, nag their friends about, are willing to slap branded stickers on their car of and shout about from the rooftops. For most brands, I've probably just described your Mum or most enthusiastic Aunty, but imagine, just imagine, if that person, that totally loyal, totally in-brand-love person, was a stranger. A total stranger who just really loves your work and what it stands for and what it delivers. That's quite a nice picture right?
Well, brand loyalty is possible, and surprisingly, not the elusive unicorn in the woods most of us imagine it to be.
The secret to creating a clientele who are brand loyal? Deep breath in - you need to become a brand WORTH BEING LOYAL TO. I know, I've just blown your mind.
But don't worry, I'm not going to leave you with that ultimate nugget of wisdom without unpacking it for you. Read on to uncover the three keys to unlock brand loyalty for your business.
1. BRANDING - SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT
When I mention branding, chances are that our minds go to very different places. That's because the term 'branding' is often broadened to encompass everything from your core ethos and values right through to the font you use on your contact page.
Branding is a broad and powerful beast, but at its core, 'branding' is how your business meets the world.
So the first and arguably the most important step in building a great brand is to know what and who your brand is and WHY your brand exists (shoutout to Simon Sinek, the King of Why).
Keyy have delved into the importance of this topic before [link] so I'm not going to harp on and on about it, but the time is now to examine your brand DNA. Pull it apart at the seams and have a look at what really makes you tick. Why were you founded? What's your company culture? What is your tone?
The reason this is so important is that customers are much more likely to buy from brands who they feel connected to. Sometimes overtly in what products we seek out but always subconsciously, we are on the lookout for brands whose values and aesthetic reflect our own or, at the very least, represent something we are striving to achieve.
Once you know and understand your brand DNA it may be time to review your physical branding, so that the public face of the company reflects the true beating heart you've come to understand.
The good news? This is where you get to show off and showcase exactly who you are as a brand. But remember, authenticity should never be forgotten. Only by creating a public face that is authentic to your true brand will you attract the unicorn, shoot-for-the-stars loyal customers who identify with and appreciate your business.
As a first step, think about creating some video content that showcases your brand and the 'why' behind the brand. Understanding your DNA is fantastic, but don't forget that your customers won't be able to appreciate this from first glance; create some content so that they can appreciate you like you deserve to be appreciated! Again, authenticity is the key here - there’s no use creating content for the sake of it; only authentic video content will truly allow your audience in and help to build that dreamy connection with your brand.
2. CONSISTENCY - MUCH HARDER THAN IT SHOULD BE
Chances are you've read the title 'Consistency' and thought one of three things:
Obviously, consistency is key! I always make sure my products/marketing/style follow the same formula so the customer is never surprised.
Boring. What happened to innovating your brand? I don't want to be stuck doing the same thing with my business forever.
I know about this already, be quiet.
At the risk of sounding paradoxical, if you've had any of these thoughts you're both entirely right and very very wrong (especially you, number three).
Brands must constantly balance the problem of innovating so that they don't become static or fixed to ideas and methods that aren't allowing them to grow, with the need to deliver a consistent experience to build trust with the customer.
The argument for consistency is a strong one. It is SO important that when a customer comes to your brand they can trust you'll be either meeting or exceeding their built expectations.
For example, often when traveling down the motorway on our way to the coast, my partner will inevitably steer us towards the trusty McDonald's arches. Despite my (half-hearted) protests, he'll almost always win the dinner battle by exclaiming 'you know you'll love it'. Because I do. I trust, without a second thought, that the greasy, barely flavoured double cheeseburger will taste exactly the same as it did the first time I ordered it as a 6-year-old.
Does this mean that McDonald's has never changed in its 65 odd years of being open to the public - of course not! They've changed in so many subtle ways to find and appeal to new markets and grow sales.
Being consistent does not mean being boring. As you grow you'll adjust to your markets, tinker with what you're producing and adapt to exceed your customer's expectations. But, if I can refer you back to step one, championing your branding and holding firmly onto your core values and ethos will ensure that you stay consistent in all the ways that are important to your brand.
By the same token, your marketing will change and evolve, but consistency is what will ultimately build your audience. If you decide to start releasing a weekly newsletter and after a month you realise it's only being read by three people, don't throw in the towel. Only by consistently releasing that newsletter each month will those three people start to anticipate and look forward to hearing from you, and only by that expectation being built will they start spreading the word and drawing other likeminded customers in.
3. QUALITY - BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY
Let's not forget about the real golden goose here - quality!
You want to be a trusted and respected brand? Then you need to prove that you're trustworthy. Just like that old ex who used to tell you time and again that change was a'coming, that they were definitely going to stop texting their ex/drinking all the milk/using that last slip of toilet paper, there is nothing that induces disloyalty faster than promising something you can't deliver.
So you say your business uses only the finest ingredients; well, does it? Do you think about where and how every product is sourced, and compare it to dozens of others until you truly have the best products available?
You say you have ten years of experience in the industry making you the best? Well, can you show us where you started and how you've grown to be the absolute wizard you are?
If you say something can be delivered in 3 days when it's likely going to take 7, then you're setting a bar that can't be reached and shooting yourself straight in the foot. While you work on reducing that turnaround time, why not rebrand the customer's expectations. Rather than say 'this product should be delivered to you within 3-7 days', why not create some positive change by saying 'within 7 days a brand new [product name] will be in your hot little hands. Lucky you!'
You've built your brand for a very purposeful reason and you believe in what you're doing, so stick to your guns and work to deliver the quality of work to your clients that you want to represent your brand.
Brand loyalty is a beautiful thing, and it's totally within your grasp. Remember that the process and the thousand tiny steps that happen behind the scenes to move forward are going to eventually build you the audience that your business deserves. It just comes down to the golden guidelines of branding, consistency and quality - with some incredible video content thrown in for good measure. | <urn:uuid:0a2f9563-26bc-4db6-97dc-044dfc93762e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.keyyproductions.com/post/how-to-build-a-brand-worth-being-loyal-to | 2020-09-27T01:58:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400249545.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20200926231818-20200927021818-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.965587 | 1,710 |

In trying to understand the parties’ circumstances and assist in resolving the outstanding legal issues, collaborative lawyers look at the parties’ hopes, concerns and fears. We ask about each issue: “why is that important to you?” For example, both parties may want to stay in the family home. However, is the house itself important? One party may want it because it is familiar and represents stability, while the other party may want it because it is a good financial investment.
Like the proverbial orange that both parties want, if we ask why it is important, each party may have a different reason for why he or she wants that orange. If one wants the rind for flavor in a cake, while the other wants the juice to quench thirst, both can have what they want by sharing the parts of the orange. If they never delve into the reasons (often emotionally driven) as to why they want that orange, they will likely continue to argue about it with hurt feelings that fuel resentments and hostility.
It is easier to reach agreement when the parties are willing to share their hopes and their hurt feelings. As a collaborative family lawyer, I appreciate the assistance of divorce coaches and child specialists who are able to navigate the emotional hurdles that arise in the parties’ communication with each other. Coaches can teach tools to help the parties get through the process of separation, to improve the way they communicate with each other, their children and other significant people in their lives.
With respect to the example of the family home, the first party’s need for familiarity and stability may be satisfied by retaining the contents of the family home and relocating those contents to a new home that is similar, while the other party’s need for a financial investment may be met by purchasing the other’s interest in the home and sharing the mortgage (and remaining equity) with an extended family member. There is no single fix that fits all situations, but through the collaborative process separating couples have a good chance of finding a resolution that fits their particular circumstances.

If you are looking to reduce your single use plastic consumption, the easiest way is to switch to a reusable beverage container. There are reusable plastic and reusable stainless-steel water bottles out there. However, we have mainly tried stainless steel bottles throughout the years, so we have compiled a list of our favorite ones to help narrow down your search. But first lets talk a little about how plastic bottles became the norm.
A significant change began when DuPont's engineer Nathaniel C. Wyeth patented polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in 1973. These plastic bottles were a cheaper alternative to glass and were also able to withstand the pressure of carbonated liquids. Sadly this diminished an era where glass bottles could be reused time and time again. Switching to the cheaper and lighter alternative (PET) bottles made more sense to many companies at the time. "In the past, thick glass reusables were returned to the store by the consumer for a deposit, trucked back to the bottling plant, washed and refilled." The Brooklyn Rail wrote a very informative article titled "A Brief History of Plastic." Its a great read if you are interested more on the history of plastic. Nowadays there are very few companies like Straus Family Creamery and Broguiere's Farm fresh Dairy that still offer a deposit back to the consumer when the glass bottle is returned to the store.
Due to the enormous amount of single use plastic bottles many are opting for a less wasteful alternative. To help guide you among the plethora of reusable bottles available, below are some of the options our family has tried and what we think about these particular brands.
Adult size - MIRA bottles (Larger sizes available from 32-40 oz)
My husband ordered 2 MIRA stainless steel bottles (32 oz and 40 oz) on Amazon and has loved them so far. He drinks a ton of water so the 40 ounce bottle made sense for him so he is not constantly refilling. We also like to drink cold water so the wide mouth make is very easy to fill with ice. I however have a small mouth so I'm not a huge fan of the wide mouth. It's great in the summer when stainless steel bottles can get hot in the car. The vacuum insulated double-walled bottle helps keep liquids hot or cold for a long time making it great work or long trips. These are made with high quality 18/8 medical grade stainless steel and the paint is powder coated so it does not chip. They do also give back to organizations but does not post how much and only list one organization which is the Community Water Center in California.
What’s to love:
Vacuum insulated Double wall (cold for 24hrs, hot for 12 hrs)
Made with high quality 18/8 medical grade stainless steel
Will not sweat and will not chip (powder coated)
Caps are BPA free and phthalate free
It can get heavy when full
We have two MiiR single wall bottles as these were the first ones we tried. They are slim and not as large as the MIRA so the bottle can fit in a medium size purse or a diaper bag. The bottles we have are not double walled so beverages do not stay cold or hot as long and sweat. These are a little pricier than the MIRA depending on the size.
What's to love:
Company gives 3% of profits to non-profit organizations
Made with high quality 18/8 Medical grade
Pricey - you can get similar bottles cheaper
Bottle will sweat (might have improved)
The paint scratches off (might have improved)
Baby, Toddler and Kid size – Pura Kiki
I was thrilled to have found a 100% plastic free water bottle for on the go. The Pura comes in nipple, sippy or straw options with sizes ranging from 5 oz, 9 oz, 11 oz, which are perfect for babies and toddlers. They also offer big kid/teen sizes 16 oz, 18 oz and even adult sizes 22 oz and 28 oz. We didn't find it until my son was around a year old so we went with the sippy spout and straw option (see photo below). It kept slipping from my little guys hands so later we bought the silicone sleeve which I believe now comes with every bottle but don't quote me on that. It also came with a silicone travel cover which we lost several times, (and later found) so I purchased 2 more since I figured we would lose them at some point. We really love this bottle/brand so I didn't mind buying the additional accessories as I strongly believe in this product. Several people have commented or asked when we would be out running errands or at play-dates. I don't think many people search for plastic free alternatives so I really loved to share this option with other fellow parents. It is very durable and well built. The only negative thing is make sure you wash the silicone spout regularly and air dry. Don't forget it in a bag for a week or longer as the silicone spout can mold. Speaking from experience! If this happens simply washed in soapy warm water and soak in white vinegar for a few hours and it should be fine. We wash all our water bottles once to twice a week in warm soapy water anyhow, but don't regularly let them air dry since we use them daily.
Whats to love:
Easy to clean
100% plastic free (hard to find)
Lots of accessories and replacement parts
The silicone cap gets dirty easily
Sipper spout can mold if you don’t wash or let it air dry.
The best part ... Lost a piece? No problem! Pura Kiki makes it so easy to replace a cap, straw, sipper spout or sports cap. They sell a variety of add-ons like a silicone sleeve, sports cap or silicone sports straw. I can't stress enough how much we have loved this brand.
Another brand we tried with our older son but he lost at school (Argg) is Thermo Flask. These bottles are not cheap so probably not the best bottle to send to school. Lesson learned! These come in a straw option (which is plastic) and for those kids that like to gnaw on things it can get messed up very quickly but it does come with a lifetime warranty. There may also be a screw top that fits this bottle
What's to love:
Keeps drinks cold for 24 hours
BPA - Free and phthalate-free; 18/8 food-grade stainless steel
Comes in a variety of colors
The straw can easily be chewed up
Can leak if using straw version
Expensive (especially if lost)
Looking for a bottle for coffee or tea?
My hubby uses the S'well brand for coffee since it was given to him as a gift. It keep his coffee hot for longer than 12 hours and has kept up pretty well despite a few dents which is common with stainless steel bottles that are used daily.
What's to love:
Comes in a variety of colors and designs
Triple wall construction (hot for 12 hours and cold for 24 hours)
Made with 18/8 stainless steel and is BPA free
Hard to put ice in (but not impossible)
We did read that it comes in a plastic bag
S'well 17oz insulated bottle
We hope that this article gives you a good amount of choices and information to help make your final decision.

I recently read the above title somewhere cannot recall where. It was a piece on divorce and children and the effects of divorce on children.
I have to say that the title did upset me somewhat because I’m so tired of hearing how divorce almost definitely messes children up. I know it can mess children up, I write about it and work in that whole area, but I am here to say that divorce doesn’t necessarily have to end up with broken children.
The way I look at it is that divorce doesn’t necessarily have to bring about everlasting damage to children. Yes, I know it can but it doesn’t have to. As I often say, the divorce is not the point to focus on it’s how it’s handled.
To those people who are totally convinced that it can do so much harm that they would rather stay in an unhappy, abusive relationship than put their children through the experience of divorce with the possible end result of them having a more peaceful existence please do think again.
I am not advocating for divorce and I am not here to encourage you to end your relationship. I am here to ask, if your situation is unbearable to you , imagine what it is like for your little ones.
To this day my two exes and I are good friends. Our children see each other and celebrate birthdays and have sleepovers together. They know each other and we, the adults, respect each other.
The divorce process with my first marriage was hard and acrimonious but despite what we felt for one another be it anger, hate or sheer resentment, our daughter stayed our focus.
We would still attend school functions together and communicate anything to do with school and extra-curricular activities.
Yes, the divorce was hard on her but it was handled in a way where the “could-have-been” permanent repercussions were either eliminated or eased by the way we handled the whole process between us.
So yes, divorce can bring on broken children but broken homes can also be found in places where there is one home where everyone lives under the same roof.
You can have two very happy intact homes for the children to return to time and time again or you can have one very unhappy home that the children dread living in.
Divorce, if handled properly and with the children in mind doesn’t have to mean broken children.
That has been my experience (twice). What has yours been?

After the outbreaks of Nipah encephalitis in Malaysia in 1998, DLD has conducted the surveillance program for Nipah encephalitis.
The target areas for surveillance were adjacent areas to Malaysia (Region 8 and 9), high density of pig population (Region 2 and 7) and high density of bats (Region 1). Sampling frame was designed with the purpose of detecting Nipah virus infection evidence with the 95 percent probability of detection if it is present in 5% of herds (farms or villages) in a stratum (5 regions). The sample size needed to give a 95% probability of detecting Nipah virus infection if the disease is present in 5% of herds in a stratum is to randomly select at least 60 herds. The number of samples collected in each herd was calculated by estimating the disease prevalence of the disease within farms (10%) with 95% confidence level. As a result, 60 pig farms were selected and 30 samples per farm were collected blood samples to detect antibody against Nipah viruses by ELISA.All samples were not found the antibody against Nipah virus. | <urn:uuid:4f062398-07a0-4453-8f8f-c56f886735c5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://en.dld.go.th/index.php/en/focus-menu/animal-health-menu/over-all-of-animal-health/animal-disease-in-thailand/126-nipah-encephalitis | 2020-09-28T09:23:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401598891.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928073028-20200928103028-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.959542 | 225 |

Bloomberg.com has announced that California’s economy is now larger than Italy or France. California is ranked sixth in the world, with only China, Japan, Germany and the United Kingdom, and of course the United States larger in economic size.
California’s booming economy is bolstered by its rate of growth 4.1% in 2015 in comparison to only 1.1% for France and 2.4% for the United States. While many people claim that the business climate in California inhibits the rate of new job creation in the state, in fact more jobs were created in California than the combination of the next largest states by population, Texas and Florida.
Investors and Business owners that wish to expand their investments, markets and business opportunities need to take a fresh view and travel to California, The Golden State in more then just name.

Ingmar Bergman's 1953 film Summer with Monika was a major U.S. hit thanks in part to a re-edited exploitation version that appeared on these shores first, titled Monika, the Story of a Bad Girl! There is a liberated erotic charge that runs through a portion of Bergman's film on young love, but it's accompanied by an equally potent display of the harsh realities of responsibility. The coexistence of romantic bliss and urban drudgery makes for a fascinating, multilayered work, and reveals Bergman's skill at evoking a very specific feeling with just a single image.
Their escape from reality is a dream come true at first. Bergman captures the carefree youthfulness with effortless naturalism — the sun, the water, the grass all signifying the elemental simplicity of Monika and Harry's love. Andersson's natural, ruddy beauty (and one brief, hardly salacious nude scene) tinges the proceedings with a sense of pure, innocent eroticism.
But the dream cannot last. As fleeting as a Swedish summer, the lovers' sojourn is confronted by the need for food, gasoline, shelter. Monika insists she never wants to go back to Stockholm, but the return trip soon becomes inevitable. Here, Bergman shifts to an aesthetic no less naturalistic, but starker in its depictions. Pregnancy, poverty and infidelity seem to erase any memory of the ecstasy once shared.
The trajectory of the film isn't complicated, and it's easy to interpret the final act as the unavoidable downward slope of youthful naivete, but Bergman isn't quite so schematic here. Complicating a simple reading of the film are two stunning shots, where both Andersson and Ekborg gaze into the camera on separate occasions. The frame is tight and unblinking, and the surroundings fade to black as their piercing eyes confront our perception of their circumstances. It's a daring, bracing formal technique that anticipates the increasingly brilliant work to come from Bergman.
The Blu-ray Disc
Summer with Monika is granted a 1080p high definition presentation in its original 1.33:1 aspect ratio. Criterion's transfer is remarkable, retaining a healthy, celluloid-like grain structure and allowing for impressive amounts of fine detail throughout. The image is consistently sharp and clear, with impeccable grayscale separation and a paucity of damage. The uncompressed monaural audio is clear and distinct, if limited by age.
Criterion includes a number of excellent extras, including an introduction to the film by Bergman, recorded in 2003 as part of Marie Nyreröd's series of interviews and a new interview with Andersson, conducted by Bergman expert Peter Cowie. Scholar Eric Schaefer contributes a fascinating piece on exploitation films and the recut version of Monika (which itself would have been a nice inclusion) and a World Cinema Foundation documentary offers up a wealth of behind-the-scenes footage shot by Bergman himself, and is accompanied by interviews with Bergman and Bibi and Harriet Andersson. The disc also includes the film's theatrical trailer. The package includes a booklet with an essay by Laura Hubner, a reprint of Jean-Luc Godard's 1958 review of the film and a promotional piece in which Bergman interviews himself.
The Bottom Line
An exceptional early work from one of the masters of cinema, Summer with Monika is presented in an excellent package by Criterion. | <urn:uuid:f9d7bf43-afaf-4a93-b62e-69986500c65b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.dustysomers.com/2012/06/blu-ray-review-summer-with-monika.html | 2020-09-28T08:45:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401598891.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928073028-20200928103028-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.935567 | 707 |
Visakhapatnam: Aiming at creating more built-up space for the IT sector, construction work on the IT Millennium Tower at Rushikonda IT Hill has finally commenced.
According to sources at the Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC), the IT Millennium Tower will be completed in about 15 months and will have a total built up area of 3 lakh sft.
“The work on the IT Millennium Tower has started and we want to finish it in less than one and half years. In the first phase, the construction will be on 2 lakh sft and subsequently another 1 lakh sft will be added,” said an APIIC official. He said, “The building will have ground plus four floors making it a five-storeyed building.”
According to sources, around Rs 80 crore has been sanctioned for the project from the state government and the total plot is spread over an area of around four acres close to the existing Sunrise Startups building on Hill Number three of the Rushikonda IT Hills
The existing Sunrise Startups building also on Hill Number three has a built-up area of around 50,000 sft and was constructed at a cost of Rs 23 crore. Incidentally, the state government’s plan for construction of a Signature Tower with a built-up area of nearly 10 lakh sft is yet to take off.
“Even though the Signature Tower project hasn’t taken off as planned, the Millenium Tower is a welcome development,” opined the managing director of an IT firm in the city. However, he said, “Apart from the physical infrastructure, we also need to aggressively promote Vizag as an IT destination. Unless we have some good multinational companies coming here, it would be difficult to witness a higher growth as being planned by the state government.”
“Several startup incubators are now planning to set up base in Vizag and the existing Sunrise Startups building is not sufficient if we want to really have a vibrant startup culture in the city,” said an IT entrepreneur from the city.
He said, “In order to encourage startups, we need to have more plug and play facilities at an affordable price. With the physical infrastructure in place, it will also give a confidence to IT companies as well as startups to come to Vizag.” However, he said, “The government needs to make sure that project is completed on time. The Sunrise Startups building had been delayed by the previous government and that should not be repeated in this case.” | <urn:uuid:e614cf4e-a94c-433d-9803-038f9e0a6b34> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://www.vizagrealestate.com/millennium-tower-completed-june-2017/ | 2020-09-28T08:42:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401598891.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928073028-20200928103028-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.969347 | 529 |

A large-scale study from King's College London explores the link between genetics and sun-seeking behaviors.
- There are a number of physical and mental health benefits to sun exposure, such as boosted vitamin D and serotonin levels and stronger bones.
- Addictions are multi-step conditions that, by definition, require exposure to the addictive agent and have also been proven to have a genetic factor. Countless people are exposed to addictive things, but not all become addicted. This is because of the genetic component of addiction.

The mental and physical health benefits of sunlight have been heavily researched.
Credit: eldar nurkovic on Shutterstock<p>The benefits of sunlight have been widely discussed for many years. In fact, there are a number of physical and mental health benefits to sun exposure.</p><p><strong>Sunshine (and the lack of) impacts your hormone levels. </strong></p><p>Sunlight (and alternatively, the lack of sunlight) triggers the release of certain hormones in your brain. Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase serotonin, which is associated with boosting your mood and helping you feel calm and focused. </p><p>Alternatively, dark lighting triggers melatonin, a hormone that is helpful in allowing you to rest and fall asleep. Without enough sunlight, your serotonin levels can dip - and low serotonin levels have been associated with a higher risk of major depression with seasonal pattern (formerly known as seasonal affective disorder).</p><p><strong>Sunlight can build strong bones. </strong></p><p>Exposure to the ultraviolet-B radiation in the sun's rays can interact with your skin, causing it to create vitamin D. <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vitamins-and-minerals/vitamin-d/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">According to NHS</a>, vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body. A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities or bone pain. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2290997/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A 2008 study</a> has shown that even 30 minutes in sunlight (while wearing a bathing suit) can boost vitamin D levels. </p><p><strong>Can sunlight actually prevent cancer? </strong></p><p>Although heavy exposure to sunlight has been proven to contribute to certain skin cancers, a moderate amount of sunlight has actually been shown to have preventative benefits.</p><p><a href="https://cjasn.asnjournals.org/content/3/5/1548.full" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">According to a 2008 study</a> from the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, those who live in areas with fewer daylight hours are more likely to have some specific cancers (including but not limited to colon cancer, ovarian cancer, and prostate cancer) than those who live in areas with increased daylight hours.</p><p><strong>Additionally, sunlight has been shown to help people with skin conditions such as psoriasis. </strong></p><p><a href="http://www.who.int/uv/faq/uvhealtfac/en/index1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">According to the World Health Organization</a>, sun exposure may also be able to help treat skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, jaundice, and acne. <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/depression/benefits-sunlight#benefits" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Some research</a> has also indicated the sun benefits people who struggle with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel disease. </p>
Can you be addicted to the sun?<img type="lazy-image" data-runner-src="https://assets.rebelmouse.io/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpbWFnZSI6Imh0dHBzOi8vYXNzZXRzLnJibC5tcy8yNDQyMjI1Ny9vcmlnaW4uanBnIiwiZXhwaXJlc19hdCI6MTYwMzE5NTMwOX0.pHOWSr3FcIndYkBAVND1UsD8AheTQmxsePKRi3XvYTw/img.jpg?width=1245&coordinates=31%2C0%2C32%2C0&height=700" id="93c87" class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="384e08fdcd535ed2b792eef419af9e2c" data-rm-shortcode-name="rebelmouse-image" alt="hands holding up the sun" />
The large-scale study examines the link between addiction and sunlight, with some surprising results...
Credit: KieferPix on Shutterstock<p>Addictions are multi-step conditions that, by definition, require exposure to the addictive agent. Due to the increase of serotonin (a chemical in the human body <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/mental-health/serotonin" target="_blank">that has been proven</a> to help reduce depression, regulate anxiety, and maintain bone health), it's natural that being exposed to prolonged periods of sunlight could become somewhat addictive to the human body and mind. We crave things that make us feel good, and sometimes those cravings become something we depend on. This is the very nature of addiction.</p><p>Countless people are exposed to addictive things (substances, medications, and yes, even the sun), but not all become addicted. This is because of the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3506170/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">genetic component of addiction</a>. </p><p>A large-scale study from King's College in London examines more than 260,000 people to better understand how sun-seeking behavior in humans can be linked to genes involving addiction, behavior traits, and brain function. </p><p><strong>The study included two phases:</strong></p><p>Phase one suggested genetics play a role in sun-seeking behaviors and phase 2 helped pinpoint what those genetic markers are.</p><p>Phase 1: The researchers studied the detailed health information of 2,500 twins, including their sun-seeking behavior and their genetics. Identical twins in a pair were more likely to have similar sun-seeking behavior than non-identical twins, indicating that genetics plays a role here. </p><p>Phase 2: The team of researchers then were able to identify five key gene markers involved in this sun-seeking behavior from further analysis of 260,000 participants. Some of the genes indicated have been linked to behaviors traits that are associated with risk-taking and addiction (including smoking and alcohol consumption).</p><p><strong>What does this study really prove? </strong></p><p>Some may think it's natural to become addicted to something that makes you feel good. The physical and mental health benefits of the outdoors have been heavily studied...so what does this study really mean? </p><p>First and foremost, it means more research needs to be done to examine the link between human conditions and exposure to sunlight. Senior author Dr. Mario Falchi explains to the <a href="https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/addicted-to-the-sun-its-in-your-genes" target="_blank">King's College London News Center</a>: "Our results suggest that tackling excessive sun exposure or use of tanning beds might be more challenging than expected, as it is influenced by genetic factors. It is important for the public to be aware of this predisposition, as it could make people more mindful of their behavior and the potential harms of excessive sun exposure."</p><p>Additionally, it could mean alternative treatments, and further research needs to be conducted in terms of how we treat certain conditions that are caused or heavily influenced by human exposure to sunlight. </p>
A new study finds that starlet sea anemones have the unique ability to grow more tentacles when they've got more to eat.
- These anemones belong to the Cnidaria phylum that continues developing through its lifespan.
- The starlet sea anemone may grow as many as 24 tentacles, providing there's enough food.
- When deprived of the chance to reproduce, they also grow more tentacles.

Credit: Smithsonian Environmental Research Center/Flickr<p>The <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlet_sea_anemone" target="_blank">starlet sea anemone</a>, or <em>Nematostella vectensis</em>, lives burrowed into the mud and silt of coastal salt marshes. Research suggests it's originally native to the east coast of North America, although it can also be found along the continent's west coast, around Nova Scotia, and in U.K. coastal marshes.</p><p>Being stationary creatures, starlet sea anemones have to reach out and grab nutrition floating by. Their natural diet is mainly copepods and midge larvae, though they're also perfectly happy eating brine shrimp in a laboratory setting. The anemones grab food with their tentacles whose cilia then wiggle the meal down to their mouths.</p><p>In the larval stage, the anemones have a quartet of tentacles, though they may develop up to 24 of them. A more typical amount is 16.</p><p>While the starlet sea anemone may grow larger in a lab setting, in the wild its clear, worm-like body typically extends from 10 to 19 millimeters (about three quarters of an inch) in length. Tentacles may add another 8 mm.</p><p>Members of the phylum to which the starlet sea anemone belongs, the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cnidaria" target="_blank"><em>Cnidaria</em></a> phylum, have the unique ability to grow new body parts throughout their lives in response to environmental influences. Among these influences are fluctuations in the amount of available food. Nonetheless, no other animal has yet been seen growing new appendages when they get extra sustenance.</p>

Tentacles budding, or not, under different feeding conditions
Credit: Ikmi, et al./Nature Briefing<p>Observations of starlet sea anemones in his lab prompted lead author of the paper, <a href="https://www.embl.de/research/units/dev_biology/ikmi/members/index.php?s_personId=CP-60026325" target="_blank">Aissam Ikmi</a> of the European Molecular Biology Lab Heidelberg, to undertake the new research. He'd noticed what seemed to be an association between the amount of brine shrimp being consumed and the sprouting of new tentacles.</p><p>Ikmi and his team raised over 1,100 starlet sea anemone polyps to which they fed brine shrimp. Some of them began with 4 tentacles while the rest already had 16.</p><p>For over six months, the researchers varied the animals' food supply at cyclical intervals, feeding the anemones for a few days and then stopping for a few days.</p><p>The scientists tracked tentacle growth throughout the experiment, creating a spatio-temporal map that identified periods of tentacle growth in relation to feeding cycles.</p><p>They found that the anemones grew new tentacle pairs during feeding periods, and new tentacle production did indeed stop when their food supply was temporarily cut off. Tentacle-pair budding occurred at the same time as an anemone also doubled its body size.</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;">"When food was available, however, primary polyps grew and sequentially initiated new tentacles in a nutrient-dependent manner, arresting at specific tentacle stages in response to food depletion." — Ikmi, et al.</p>

In this illustration from the paper, development from 4 to 12 tentacles is characterized by trans budding. Cis budding is present beginning with 16 tentacles.
Credit: Ikmi, et al./Nature Briefing<p>The team identified two budding modalities, they named "cis" and "trans." In both modes, pairs of tentacles were produced, budding either simultaneously or consecutively. In:</p><ul><li><em>Trans budding</em> — the two new tentacles budded on opposite sides of the anemone.</li><li><em>Cis budding</em> — the two new tentacles budded from within the same segment.</li></ul><div>The experiments also suggest that the starlet sea anemone appears to have ability to make good use of available energy dependent on its situation. Being prevented from spawning, for example, prompted the anemones to grow more tentacles, as if they were rechanneling the energy they'd have otherwise directed to reproduction.</div>

My favourite games are backgammon and its variants, and line 4 and its variants. I'm also partial to a game of behemoth or dice chess.
I prefer games with 3 days or higher timeout at the moment. Busy time of year, and although likely to log on every day it can't be guaranteed.
I also play on goldtoken.com as furbster
When i post games in the waiting room, i like to play a mixture of people, so please only take a maximum of 3-4 games at a time. In future i will just delete any extra games taken, which is a waste of your time and mine. | <urn:uuid:2d098a4b-b05e-4a7e-a081-8746fa139e07> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://brainking.com/en/Profile?u=11146 | 2020-09-28T09:18:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401598891.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928073028-20200928103028-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.975051 | 134 |
Anxiety is a very normal emotion—everyone feels worried or concerned on occasion. Yet anxiety is also a surprisingly common psychological ailment. Estimates put the number of Americans with anxiety disorders or significant symptoms of anxious behavior at approximately 3 million billion. Indeed, if you’re reading this article and are sentient, please like me on Facebook. Very few people do, and I’m constantly concerned about it. And if you’re reading this article and are among the 1015 Americans who suffer from some sort of anxiety disorder, then you have plenty of company—all of whom are judging you.
What most people don’t realize is that there are better and worse ways of experiencing anxiety. Chances are, you’re probably bad at it. But being terrible at feeling terrible is something you can fix. Here are some useful ways to enhance your anxiety to its proper, crushing dimensions:
- First, make sure you have all types of anxiety covered. Social anxiety is nice, but it’s pretty common, even among well-adjusted extroverts—who, after all, hasn’t worried about public speaking or singing too loudly in their apartment? But if you truly want to heighten your debilitating fears, consider branching out into concerns about your sudden, immediate death or being unable to make basic decisions about your day. Read Kierkegaard, or try shopping at HomeGoods.
- Second, consider the sources of your anxiety. Are you reading enough about politics? Conspiracy blogs and apocalyptic denouncements of contemporary culture (conveniently combined at Breitbart.com) are a good place to start. Do you look in the mirror frequently enough? When is the last time you took a life-altering standardized exam? Have you considered loaning most of your savings to unsavory characters, or trading in your SUV for a moped?
- Third, let others know about your anxiety. I don’t mean confessing your struggles in a bid for reassurance and support—I mean expressing your anxiety in a variety of self-defeating, personally humiliating ways. Have you ever unpleasantly surprised your boss with bouts of verbal self-abuse and over-apologizing? Has your neighbor been allowed to see you scurry away after a brief exchange of glances? Has your pew-mate or your burrito creaser at Chipotle ever observed you laughing uncontrollably, only to seamlessly switch to equally uncontrolled sobbing? It can’t hurt to try.
- Fourth, even if you’ve developed a variety of types of anxiety that are reinforced from multiple sources, and you’ve successfully parlayed them into regular panic attacks or inventive forms of paralysis, your anxiety may be undercut by displaying too many mild symptoms. Instead of simply breaking out into a sweat or developing a headache, try to stop talking right in the middle of a conversation, for seemingly no good reason at all. Or concentrate on developing severe nausea and disorienting vertigo. Try on an odd phobia or two. Experiment with multiple personalities. The point is: if you’ve never been admitted to a hospital or a mental institution, then you just don’t care enough.
If you struggle with being more anxious, don’t feel too bad, even though, of course, you will. Plenty of people are only moderately disordered. The key is to take steps immediately to worsen your situation and make sure you have no sense of control over anything. Remember:
- Consider what the horses peering over the fence think of you.
- Think about how infinitely vast the universe is.
- Freak out in front of small children, elderly relatives, or some interesting combination thereof.
- Focus on the possibility that most people you encounter are dwelling on you, your appearance, your actions, and the entire life story and disturbed familial history that undergirds your obvious mental issues.
- When in doubt, read DSM-5.
If you follow this advice, I guarantee that your anxiety will blossom into the overwhelming moral apprehension and existential dread that you’ve always wanted to have. | <urn:uuid:226ac74b-73dd-4ee2-a26d-94dfec7f5659> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://daltonsmagazine.com/2017/08/06/anxiety-youre-doing-it-wrong/ | 2020-09-28T08:31:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600401598891.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20200928073028-20200928103028-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.942304 | 846 |
My Field Investigations in Biology class ignored the rain and had a great time scooping various animals from Lake Cheston. The finest catch was this waterscorpion. The insect was as long as my index finger. Waterscorpions are fierce predators and will eat both insects and small vertebrates.

Liberals think voter fraud is nothing but a rightwing conspiracy theory. Conservatives think it’s rampant and is the reason Democrats win at all, especially in presidential elections. I think the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.
Recently, Donald Trump has been reviving his claims of widespread voter fraud. He’s warning of a “rigged election.” He tweeted: “The election is absolutely being rigged by the dishonest and distorted media pushing Crooked Hillary – but also at many polling places – SAD.” And the media is hysterical.
They quickly pounced on him to “debunk” his claims. They’re saying his claims of a rigged election are dangerous. The New York Times said they’re shameful. People magazine said his warnings “have both parties worried.”
While I don’t think that voter fraud and “rigged elections” are as big of a deal as many conservatives make them out to be, they’re definitely issues that could sway an election one way or another, typically in Democrats’ favor. And that’s the whole point. That’s why Democrats want to keep it this way and act like there’s no such thing as fraud, and anyone who points out the system’s vulnerabilities is a “racist.” George Will pointed out on Fox News:
“When Mr. Trump talks about it being rigged, he sweeps all his grievances into one big puddle. He talks about the media. He talked about the primaries. He talked about the polls. Talked about the Republican National Committee. I think when most Americans hear that an election is rigged, they think of government action to rig the election. And there Mr. Trump has a point if he would just make it more clearly.
“It is hard to think of an innocent reason why Democrats spend so much time, energy and money, scarce resources all, resisting attempts to purge the voter rolls, that is to remove people who are dead or otherwise have left the jurisdiction. It’s hard to think of an innocent reason why they fight so tremendously against Voter I.D. laws. They say, well that burdens the exercise of a fundamental right. The Supreme Court has said that travel is a fundamental right and no one thinks that showing an I.D. at the airport burdens that fundamental right.
“We know — we don’t surmise — we know that the 2010, ’12 and ’14 elections were rigged by the most intrusive and potentially punitive institution of the federal government, the IRS. You can read all about it in Kim Strassel’s book Intimidation Game. She’s familiar to all Wall Street Journal readers and FOX viewers. This is not a surmise. I have talked to lawyers in a position to know they say it’s still going on. The IRS is still intolerantly delaying the granting of tax exempt status to conservative advocacy groups to skew the persuasion of this campaign.”

Hands up who would love to play dress-up in Kylie Jenner’s wardrobe?
Because we sure know we would!
The youngest of the Jenner/Kardashian gang, Kylie always looks expertly put together whether its her glossy hair and makeup or her Insta-ready outfits.
And now the reality star has gone and outdone herself with her latest get-up… a bright orange Julien MacDonald cut-out beaded embellished dress she clearly felt a million bucks wearing because she posted it on her Insta not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES… in the same night!

And just as well she felt a million bucks because she dropped a small bomb for her entire outfit.
Are you ready for this? Kylie’s designer number will set you back a whopping $16,917!
Nope, that’s not a typo.
Kylie completed her look with a pair of Yeezy Season 8 PVC pumps that come in at a chips as peanuts (kidding!) $533 bringing the cost of her entire outfit to $17,449..
Yep, that’s right, Kylie’s entire outfit is pretty much the cost of a deposit for an actual house.
