If you own or have ever owned a turtle, you'll know that some turtles grow quickly--and can get pretty big. The tiny hatchling you buy in the store might eventually turn into a dinner-plate-sized adult. When the turtles are small, finding a suitable tank is simple and inexpensive. As they grow, they need more space, which means a bigger tank and very likely lots of money for that tank. You can provide a big enough tank for your turtle while saving plenty of money by avoiding traditional glass tanks and using a homemade alternative.
Plastic storage tubs (like the ones sold in mega marts) are excellent, inexpensive alternatives to traditional glass or acrylic tanks. These tubs come in a variety of sizes, from two gallons to 50 gallons, and range in price from $3 to $25. They do not need special stands and do not run the risk of breaking and shattering the way a glass tank does. You can even purchase one made of semi-transparent plastic to better see your pet. Keep in mind that these tubs are not designed to hold large amounts of water and if filled above half of the tub size, the walls might bow. You may have trouble getting a power filter to hang properly on the side of the tub. Also, thoroughly examine any tub for tiny holes or cracks that might leak.
Another non-traditional option for a turtle tank is a stock tank, which can be purchased in feed stores or agricultural supply stores. These tanks offer less variety in shape and are not transparent. They are designed to hold large amounts of water and are extremely durable. Stock tanks come in sizes up to 300 gallons and cost significantly less than a traditional glass or acrylic aquarium. While these tanks are not as aesthetically pleasing as a glass tank, they will provide your turtle will all the room he needs to grow and live his day-to-day life. You might experience problems getting filtration systems to dit properly onto the stock tank walls, but by being creative a stock tank can save you money in the long run.
There are other items your turtle tank requires, some of which can be homemade while you will just have to shell out the cash for others. A good filtration system, heater and basking lamp are imperative to your turtle's health. These can be purchased at your local pet store. Aquatic turtles require a basking dock, which can be made at home by cutting some cork bark or driftwood and wedging it into the tank or placing it on top of rocks, stones or PVC pipe on one side of the tank. Some turtles prefer/require a hiding place, which again can be fashioned from bark. If you have a land turtle, you might want to supply a few flat rocks for him to eat on at feeding time. | <urn:uuid:8f0d97a4-7171-4295-8bce-7e7986a08390> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.cuteness.com/article/homemade-turtle-tank | 2020-09-23T04:27:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.960069 | 569 |
Simone Legno was born in Rome, Italy (June 1977) and has always loved drawing ever since he was a child and had boxes full of chewed broken pencils.
Tokidoki is a happy world. It is a cute, playful and pure, yet provocative, sophisticated world that Simone imagines, lives and dreams of. Tokidoki means "sometimes" in Japanese. Simone chose a Japanese word because he loves Japan. He loves everything from the ultra modern happy face of Shibuya to the serious magic silence of Kyoto.
In 2004 Simone moved to Los Angeles to develop his own Tokidoki apparel, art and lifestyle licensing brand with 2 business partners (Ivan Arnold and Pooneh Mohajer). In 2005 they launched tokidoki first as a clothing line and because of its amazing success quickly moved onto other items such as vinyl toys, skate decks, jewelry, watches, knitwear, sportswear,
accessories, shoes and stationery.
Tokidoki has collaborated with other brands such as K Karl Lagerfeld, Sephora, LeSportsac, Onitsuka Tiger, Marvel, New Era, Hello Kitty, Fujitsu, Levi's, Smashbox cosmetics, Xbox, T-mobile, Fornarina, Medicom Toy, Skullcandy and more to come. | <urn:uuid:2dce1946-d98b-4d58-a261-12a6a7b66061> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.designertoyawards.com/panel/simone-legno | 2020-09-23T02:39:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.953236 | 269 |

This week I head into my next assessment – the Everything DiSC Productive Conflict Profile. Just like with the Everything DiSC Management Profile, taking this took less time because the general DiSC questions had already been answered in my first assessment and got incorporated into this report - bonus!
Similar to other profiles, the first section is a recap of my DiSC Style and would be a great start for anyone, even if they hadn't taken a DiSC assessment before. It provides all the key information someone would need to understand the basics.
The first new section describes my style during conflict. It’s important to note that this isn’t about how to ‘win’, but to better understand my own style when conflict is occurring and how to make that conflict productive. The bullets describing what is important to me during conflict where no surprise – the Mr. Spock approach. Separating emotions from facts, catching errors or flaws in arguments and solving problems through logic all resonate very strongly for me.
On the flip side, the things that drain my energy during conflict were things like being in a chaotic situation, lacking the details or facts of a situation and being forced to ignore issues or problems. I can definitely see how these have led to frustration for me in the past.
So, what do I do with my new awareness? Go on to the next section! This contains a lot of great information on understanding the needs of other styles in conflict and how best to work with them in these types of situations. Looking at things like what each style’s goals, overuses and fears are is incredibly helpful in navigating conflict.
The next area gets really juicy! This is all about the possible destructive behaviors that may come from automatic thoughts people with my style may have. Things like arguing, belittling etc. (there are literally pages or them described along with the automatic thoughts that can trigger that behavior). After seeing all of the possible destructive behaviors comes a bunch of strategies to avoid those responses by re framing thoughts to more productive responses.
There is even a whole section on action planning, which is helpful for anyone who is serious about learning about themselves and improving. Conflict is a vital and necessary part of life and learning to make it productive and helpful is a key part of any individual’s growth.
There is a lot to this report (23 pages!) and it really applies to everyone – whether you want to work on this area in your work life or any area. You will learn a lot about yourself, no doubt about it. And if you have done any of the Everything DiSC assessments, connect with me on www.MyEverythingDiSC.com and let's run a comparison between our styles. Let the understanding and learning continue! | <urn:uuid:2b25e5d9-ecb2-4d68-8c5f-58030b3dad80> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.innovations-consulting.com/post/thought-for-monday-march-9-2020-3 | 2020-09-23T02:59:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.956436 | 561 |

The coronavirus has changed our society very quickly and those changes are going to last for a very long time. We must make sure that the human rights of disabled people don’t fall by the way-side in this process
What coronavirus has shown us about our society
We are currently facing the biggest societal change in Wales and the rest of the world since the Second World War. Within only weeks, life for most of us has changed beyond recognition. This change has been disorienting and dizzying for most of us. It has taught us a lot about our society. There have been some extraordinary examples of solidarity. Out of nowhere, mutual aid groups have sprung up to offer each other support. From rainbows in windows to clapping on our doorsteps in support of care staff, the last weeks have shown us the best in people.
However, the coronavirus crisis has also highlighted just how unequal our society really is. We may “all be in this together”, but the way that this pandemic affects us differs immensely depending on our circumstances. For some of us, lockdown has meant moving to comfortable home offices and working in our pyjamas. For others it has meant either losing our jobs or, for many working in frontline jobs, putting ourselves at risk every day for minimum wage. For many disabled people, both Welsh and UK government’s responses has meant losing vital support.
Crises are always a time of re-organisation within society. While the last few weeks have seen massive change happening very quickly, we now need to prepare for the fact that our lives have changed not just quickly, but also for the longer term. Within that time we as a society are going to have to examine what our priorities are and unfortunately there is a real danger that the lives and wellbeing of disabled people will not be amongst those priorities.
Why are disabled especially people at risk?
There are a number of reasons why disabled people are particularly vulnerable at this time (see here and here). It is extremely worrying that in response to Covid-19 the UK Government has decided to effectively roll back disability rights by 30 years by suspending rights to social care provision as part of the Coronavirus Bill. Disabled people in Wales could potentially be even more severely affected as, unlike the suspension of the Care Act (2014) duties in England, there is no express requirement to avoid breaches of the European Convention on Human Rights included in the suspension of the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act.
A further cause for concern has been the NICE guidelines for coronavirus critical care treatment that uses a “frailty scale” to decide who should be receiving critical care treatment. After protests from disabled groups, it has been clarified that this scale should not be applied to some disabled people.
Even as the guidelines have been amended, the fact that the frailty scale was used in the first place is a worrying sign that at a time where people have to make “difficult decisions” those making these decisions do not automatically take into account the special circumstances of disabled people. As pressure on the National Health Service increases and overwhelms its limited resources, we will have to face a situation where not everyone can receive the treatment they need. It is terrifying to think that disabled people might merely be seen as unavoidable casualties in these situations.
It is particularly tragic that it may well be people’s need to hold on to the idea that decisions like these can be fair that poses the biggest threat to disabled people. It is hard for us to accept that people are going to die needlessly simply because there are not enough resources to treat everyone. People who have to make these decisions are likely to try their best to be as fair as possible. But the problem with this is that there is nothing fair about any of this. And to try and find a narrative in which we avoid withdrawing treatment from people unfairly opens the door to discussions about whose life is worth living and whose is not. Discussions that have no place in our society.
These issues can be seen in the NICE guidelines, which lay out their basic purpose in the opening paragraph:
“The purpose of this guideline is to maximise the safety of patients who need critical care during the COVID-19 pandemic, while protecting staff from infection. It will also enable services to make the best use of NHS resources.”
It is important to note that these are three separate goals and that rather than supporting each other, they may come into conflict with one another. Later on in the guidance it says that doctors should “base decisions on admission of individual adults to critical care on the likelihood of their recovery, taking into account the likelihood that a person will recover from their critical care admission to an outcome that is acceptable to them.”
There is a tremendous amount of ambiguity in this guidance. It is good in general that the guidance says that the patient should decide what is an acceptable outcome to them. But more generally worrying is the implication that some people should be denied treatment on the grounds that they are not likely to recover “enough.” This isn’t to say that critical care treatment is always the right choice for everyone and that there aren’t cases where it would generally not be in the patient’s best interests to be admitted to a critical care unit. The danger here is that as resources become scarce and the NHS becomes unable to provide life-saving treatment to everyone, the definition of what is an acceptable outcome will be coloured by ableist ideas of what a life worth living looks like.
Protecting human rights in the coronavirus crisis
In light of these issues, it is important to keep fighting to protect the rights of disabled people in the current crisis. Several organisations and individuals have spoken up to protect disabled people from ableism and coronavirus. The organisation Doctors United issued a statement last week condemning the way that current guidelines put different values on people’s lives.
“The arbitrary condemnation of one group or another is inexcusable. Being old, living in a care home, or having a pre-existing disability should not lead to an automatic exclusion from possible treatment. Blanket categorisation of large groups of people in such a way is prejudice. There is no place for it in the NHS.”
Last week over 1000 people signed an open letter from the Wales Disability Reference Group within 24 hours calling for the human rights of disabled people to be respected. Going forward this is going to be more important than ever. The issues that Covid-19 is revealing are not new. Disabled people faced significant health inequalities long before coronavirus came along and, due to underfunding, the NHS struggled to keep up with demand even before having to deal with all the extra coronavirus cases. The Welsh and UK governments must not just prioritise the wellbeing of disabled people in this crisis, they must also ensure that once the worst of the pandemic has passed we make sure our social care system is resilient enough to weather the next crisis. | <urn:uuid:a719e4a3-51a7-40c0-8f3c-57b5909fef91> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.ldw.org.uk/we-must-protect-human-rights-in-the-coronavirus-crisis/ | 2020-09-23T02:03:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.965339 | 1,444 |

Television dramas often depict disputes over wills as dramatic conflicts between dysfunctional children of wealthy parents. While these depictions are entertaining, they are not representative of all inheritance disputes.
The probate process allows beneficiaries, creditors and others with interests in an estate to challenge the legitimacy of a will. Despite television portrayals, these disputes can happen to well-adjusted families with estates of any size. Here are a few common disputes that can arise during the probate process.
Validity of the will
People may contest the validity of a will for a variety of reasons. These can include:
- Questions about the testator’s mental capacity when they made or edited their estate plans.
- A lack of intent—or a mistake—present in the will. An example of this could be an estate plan that leaves an inheritance for every grandchild except for the youngest who was born after the estate plan was drafted.
Sometimes, beneficiaries may feel that a judge should amend a will because of inequities that the testator did not account for. For example, siblings will often get equal shares of the estate. However, one sibling may have sacrificed significant working time to care for the parent in their later years and feels that the estate should compensate them for that time.
Challenges over fiduciary duties
Typically, an estate plan will name an executor to assume the fiduciary (financial) responsibilities for the estate. However, just because someone is named an executor, does not mean they have to take on this duty.
If the named executor decides that they do not want to assume the duty, disputes may arise over who the executor of the will should be.
Furthermore, beneficiaries of the will can level claims against executors whom they believe are acting fraudulently.
How to prevent probate disputes
The time following the death of a loved one can be challenging. Disputes over the will can make this period even more difficult.
A well-drafted, regularly updated estate plan can help prevent many disputes from causing additional grief during the probate process. | <urn:uuid:d15308f5-71f3-4e7d-a832-336aa6e76c79> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.probate-estatelaw.com/blog/2019/06/three-common-probate-disputes-you-should-try-to-prevent/ | 2020-09-23T02:28:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.960057 | 423 |

“There’s such a huge demand with the demographics of the baby boomers requiring mergers and acquisitions services, either to divest themselves of their business entities or alternately the younger group, who are the beginning of the boomer age looking to buy businesses,” said Renate Mueller.
Mueller says the newly formed consulting group has the expertise to guide organizations through succession planning, executive search and business profitability and ultimately help with selling or buying.
“Succession planning is a very difficult, cumbersome process,” she said. “Clients that thought they should do it by themselves should come to us because we’re going to simplify the whole process and take the stress and responsibility away from them so they can continue on with what they do best, which is running their businesses.” | <urn:uuid:158e4b54-5ab4-4abe-93f9-e69644c9267f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.renatemueller.ca/former-amac-president-forms-new-consulting-firm-for-the-canadian-insurance-industry/ | 2020-09-23T02:17:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.961724 | 387 |
Naming a tangible piece of the Springfield School District does far more than commemorate your contribution or honor someone special to you.
Your gift reflects:
- That Springfield School District plays such an important role in your life that you feel compelled to give back in a substantial way.
- That you care enough about future generations – and the person reading the plaque that bears your name – which you are willing to invest in the school’s capacity to serve people you may never meet.
- That you believe so strongly in Springfield’s mission and vision that you are giving enough to inspire others to do the same.
While SAEF greatly appreciates every gift, we are pleased to offer a variety of naming rights opportunities to donors who make contributions for specific purposes. If you are interested in pursuing a naming/sponsorship opportunity, please contact:

Goelst LRS Safety Track
LRS gliders for anti-ligature purposes
Goelst LRS-gliders has been developed to allow the controlled release of curtains from specific Goelst curtain tracks (ref: 4100; 4301 & 4701).
The gliders are made with a flexible, yet firm gliding foot and rotate freely in the gliding channel.
In everyday use the LRS gliders behave as ordinary gliders.
However, when exposed to sudden and/or high loads, the glider design allows it to be pulled out of the track. Use of the LRS gliders also helps prevent the track being pulled from its fixings - (important when considering personal safety).
Loads The LRS anti-ligature system incorporates both red and grey gliders. When loading is applied gradually, individual red gliders can resist up to 12 kg* and individual grey gliders up to 8 kg* of weight.
With sudden loading other values apply to both red and grey LRS gliders.
The red glider is released from the track with 1 kg falling from 5 cm. A weight of 0.5 kg falling from a height of 5 cm causes the grey glider to release.
This difference in response to gradual and sudden loading explains why the glider can function both as a normal glider as well as a quick release LRS glider.
The release of one LRS glider induces a ‘zip’ effect.
If the curtain weight is taken as a whole, separate glider loads cannot simply be added up.
There is always one glider that releases first, inducing an accelerated release of the other remaining gliders.

South Williamsport woman, officer save injured merlin
Patty Kline was on her way to church earlier this week when she saw an injured bird in the middle of Arlington Street in South Williamsport.
“I slowed down and, as I got closer to it, I realized it had to have been hurt,” Kline said. “It was hopping and it had one wing out.”
She added that she had went around the bird to make sure it was hurt and put her four-way lights on to call the police as she believed it to be a hawk that needed help.
Officer Seth Stropp came to the scene to help Kline get the bird into a blanket and a box after it got stuck in a bush trying to escape.
“We got a 911 call from an individual that said she found the bird and believed it was a hawk and we responded,” Stropp said. “We were able to chase it down the road a bit and it flew into a bush to where we were able to get it and wrap it in a blanket and put it in a box.”
“We slowly approached the bird,” Kline said. “It took a couple of attempts, but Officer Stropp got it out of the bush.”
“We receive numerous calls about injured wildlife. Normally its domesticated cats or dogs or a deer,” Stropp added. “This is the first incident I have been involved with that was a falcon, a merlin.”
Currently the bird is at the Centre Wildlife Care facility in Centre County until it is healed enough to be released back into the wild.
Robyn Graboski, executive director, said the bird has a “soft tissue” injury and no fractures in his wing.
“We are treating him with pain medicine and antibiotics,” she said. “Soft tissue injuries are difficult to predict but I anticipate that he will make a full recovery.”
Graboski added these types of injuries often can take a long time to heal properly. Before releasing the bird, the care facility will ensure it has enough stamina and can fly well enough to survive back in its natural habitat.
“Every bird is different in their own merit,” she said.
With that, Kline and Stropp hope to be around when the bird gets released, as they were integral to its recovery.
“We want to be included when it gets released,” Kline said. “I mean, to save anything is amazing — it didn’t matter if it was that type of bird or not, but to find out that it’s something that is rare made it that much extra special.”
“I thought it was pretty cool,” Stropp said. “I am a wildlife guy myself, I enjoyed doing it. It was a rewarding experience for me.” | <urn:uuid:f60a4247-d2bc-4ce2-84e1-edfb2a6bf11c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.sungazette.com/news/top-news/2020/01/south-williamsport-woman-officer-save-injured-merlin/ | 2020-09-23T03:18:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.990788 | 617 |
Things To Do At The Margaret W. Carpenter Recreation Center
The Margaret W. Carpenter Recreation Center is a massive facility located in Thornton, CO, near The Dental Center at Thornton Plaza and it provides something for everyone in the family. This location has been outfitted with a gym, pool, playground, ball fields, and spaces for the family to relax. Look at what you can do when you come to the center because they have made it as diverse as possible.
The pool is an automatic draw for the public because a public pool is an easy place for people to visit. You could come out to swim laps because you want to get in shape, or you could come to play with your kids. You might want to come to one of the water aerobics classes that is held at the pool, or you might enroll your kids in the swim teams that compete at this facility.
The playground is great for parents to bring their kids when they need them to get outside and have fun. The playground is large enough to keep kids happy for a couple of hours, and there are places for parents to relax while their kids play. There are shaded areas where parents can rest, and people who want to have a picnic near the playground will have an easy time finding a shady spot.
There are picnic tables around the area that are very easy to use, and they have some covered areas that will allow you to enjoy the park when you have rain and wind coming in. The picnic areas are close to the ball fields, and they give families a place to eat with their kids after a game.
The fields that people play games on have been used by many rec leagues over the years, and there are many ways for kids to play on these fields when they want to get involved in team sports.
There is a gym inside the center, and it has many treadmills and bikes to use for people who want to get in shape. You could come here to lift weights, and you might find that you like coming here instead of a regular gym because there are a lot of nice people who are all there to have a good time and exercise. You will find that this gym is larger than most paid gyms in the area, and there are classes taught out of the gym if you have a particular interest.
The grounds have many paths and walkways that you can use to run or walk to get in shape. This is a large property that you can explore if you want to walk around, or you could use the grounds as a way to take pictures and get inspired for your next art project. The property closes when the sun goes down every night, and their classes often go late so that you can explore and then go into a class.
It Is A Community Playground
Everyone in the community can come to this recreation center at any time, and everyone in the family will have something that they can do. The kids can play on the playground while the parents go for a run, or everyone could come out to play in the pool. There are many meeting rooms for parties, and the center has a friendly staff who will give you assistance when you require help with your account, finding out when a class happens or learning about the many recreation options that are hosted by the center. After the Rec Center, check out a movie at Cinebarre in Thornton. | <urn:uuid:42bea5c7-9766-4559-afc4-bfae1534278e> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.thedentalcenter.us/margaret-w-carpenter-recreation-center/ | 2020-09-23T03:49:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.981007 | 682 |
In this episode of the Monsoon Podcast, Kai Clark dives below the surface of the Pacific region and the reasons it’s worth exploring.
Covering over 30 per cent of the Earth’s surface, the Pacific is home to a multitude of countries, cultures, and languages. Yet when we discuss this region, if at all, the conversation is limited to politics and security or the impacts of climate change.
What can we learn from the Pacific beyond this conversation? What insights can the region provide on some of the most pressing issues facing societies today, and what do they tell us about knowledge itself?
On this Monsoon Podcast, Kai Clark delves into the Pacific region with PhD candidate Bianca Hennessy and Pacific Studies student Oliver Lilford.
Bianca Hennessy is a PhD candidate at the School of Culture, History and Language at the Australian National University. Her research seeks to understand how Pacific Studies is taught and understood throughout different universities in the Pacific.
Oliver Lilford is a 3rd year Bachelor of Philosophy student at the Australian University specialising in Pacific Studies.

Hugo's passion for immigration law stems from his own family's immigration experience. His father and mother came to the United States from Peru fleeing political persecution, and as he grew up, Hugo spent many summers in Peru.

TOLEDO, Ohio — Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced Tuesday almost 1.4 absentee ballot applications have been received by county boards of elections statewide just seven weeks ahead of Election Day.
The number includes 15,806 requests from military and overseas voters whose absentee ballots will be mailed beginning this Friday, Sept. 18. All other ballots will be mailed beginning Oct. 6.
In Lucas and Wood Counties, close to 45,000 and 14,000 voters have requested their ballots, respectively. In total,109,227 northwest Ohio voters have sent out their applications.
Over the past week, almost 400,000 new absentee ballot requests were made by Ohio voters.
At the same time during the 2016 election, 524,631 absentee ballots had been requested. All data is current as of Sept. 11.
To prepare Ohio boards of elections for the large amount of voters requesting absentee ballots this year, LaRose sent 87% of Ohio’s $12.8 million CARES Act allocation directly to the county boards to strengthen their election infrastructure, hire temporary personnel, and more.
You can check below the number of applications received by northwest Ohio county boards of elections:
- Lucas County: 44,541
- Wood County: 13,469
- Defiance County: 3,168
- Hancock County: 3,649
- Henry County: 2,594
- Ottawa County: 3,707
- Sandusky County: 5,318
- Seneca County: 5,247
- Williams County: 2,696
- Paulding County: 1,443
- Putnam County: 3,252
- Fulton County: 3,349
- Huron County: 6,470
- Erie County: 10,324
Voters should consider these best practices when they choose the absentee ballot option:
Fill in the information properly. Review the form to ensure you have filled it out properly, including writing your date of birth where required, not the day’s date, as well as signing your request form.
Include your e-mail and/or phone number. For the first time in a general election, county boards of elections will be calling or e-mailing voters who may need to remedy information on their ballot request form or absentee ballot envelope.
Don’t wait. To accommodate necessary processing time at your county board of elections and the time required for the United States Postal Service to deliver elections mail, voters should not procrastinate – fill out and mail your absentee ballot request as soon as possible.
Double-check your return envelope. Before you submit your ballot request form, make sure the envelope is addressed to your county board of elections.
Track your ballot. Once your ballot request is received by your county board of elections, you may your their ballot at VoteOhio.gov/Track. As long as your ballot is postmarked by the day before the election and received within 10 days after the election at your county board of elections, your vote will be counted. | <urn:uuid:0c38a0e7-d6d0-4511-a31c-2808164fb227> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.wtol.com/article/news/politics/campaign-2020/ohio-election-chief-14-million-absentee-ballot-applications-received/512-6d51d169-efa2-46e3-be6f-978f52485c16 | 2020-09-23T04:03:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.950155 | 622 |

ROME, APRIL 24, 2002 (ZENIT.org–Avvenire).- At the start of John Paul II´s pontificate, the Vatican had diplomatic relations with 84 countries. Today that figure stands at 172, with two more countries soon to be announced.
The figures alone attest to the scope of the Vatican´s diplomatic activity. Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran, Vatican secretary for relations with states, addressed this topic Tuesday at the Catholic University of Milan. Here, he talks about the current critical points of Vatican diplomacy.
Q: What concrete initiatives have been taken following the expulsions from Russia of Bishop Jerzy Mazur of the Diocese of St. Joseph in Irkutsk, in eastern Siberia, and Father Stefano Caprio, parish priest of Holy Rosary Church in Vladimir and Ivanovo?
Archbishop Tauran: We have expressed our protest to the Russian authorities for whom Mazur and Caprio are persona non grata. Why? This is a violation of international commitments on the level of religious liberty, which Russia has also made its own.
Q: The two expulsions were decreed by public authority. However, it is difficult not to place them in the framework of the critical relations between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church. If this is the case, what can be done?
Archbishop Tauran: Our protest and distress do not lessen the degree and depth of our understanding.
We are well aware of what the Orthodox Church suffered during the long years of the Soviet regime: isolation, oppression, martyrdom. These are sufferings that, in particular, have profoundly marked Russian Orthodoxy. Because of this, I say: The Holy See has no animosity toward the Orthodox Church. On the contrary, we are happy to be able to help her grow.
Q: Another very critical point is the Holy Land. What is the Vatican´s position?
Archbishop Tauran: I repeat: There are two peoples with equal rights. The Israelis with the right to security; the Palestinians, a land and state. No right should prevail over another.
It is absolutely necessary that the force of law prevail over the law of force. I repeat this with great conviction in these days, in which yet again contempt for life and armed violence are taking an entire region, perhaps beyond its borders, to the abyss.
Q: What steps should be taken to unite peace and justice again in the Holy Land?
Archbishop Tauran: Withdrawal from the Occupied Territories, respect for U.N. resolutions, the involvement of the international community, and the recognition of an international juridical statute for the holy places.
Q: The latter, a topic that is again of very great importance, following the invasion of the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem by 200 Palestinians.
Archbishop Tauran: The entry of those armed men is a violation of a holy place. However, the problem will not be resolved by force.
The Vatican has proposed the establishment of an Israeli-Palestinian bilateral commission to address the question. More generally, we can see, as history teaches, that guarantees diminish when the protection of holy places is entrusted to only one national authority.
This is why we again ask that the international community be the guarantor of places loved by Jews, Muslims and Christians — loved by faithful of the whole planet.
Q: In your address, you explained that the defense of life and the family is one of the new fields of the Vatican´s international action. How can this commitment be integrated in the construction of the European Union, where there are states, like Holland, for example, which legalize practices such as euthanasia?
Archbishop Tauran: We encourage the European episcopates to know how to help peoples to become aware of the challenges, and political leaders to make the right decisions, in the perspective of a plan of society that is respectful of human dignity and freedom and of natural morality. | <urn:uuid:5785682a-8de6-45d6-8f12-e02fd1231f89> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://zenit.org/2002/04/24/vatican-s-position-vis-a-vis-russian-orthodox-and-also-the-holy-land/ | 2020-09-23T02:46:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.951464 | 820 |
Welcome to Part 2 of this review of the Pluralsight course Android for .NET Developers: 1 Getting Started by Jim Wilson
Jim has over 30 years of software engineering experience, with the past 15 years heavily focused on creating mobile device and location-based solutions. He has co-founded multiple software-related startups and has served in a consulting role at several more.
After nearly a decade as a Microsoft Device Application Development MVP, Jim now focuses on developing Android and iOS device applications. Jim’s passion is mentoring software developers. He blogs at hedgehogjim.wordpress.com.
Also in this series:
Part 1 – Series Overview
Part 2 – Setting up your environment
Part 3 – Android Toolset Fundamentals
Part 4 – Dalvik Debug Monitor Server
Part 5 – Understanding Android Projects
Part 6 – Android Studio
Part 7 – Understanding Android Versioning
Setting Up Your Environment
What do we need
This part of the course was produced before Android Studio was released.
Jim added a module about Android Studio will be reviewed soon.
To learn about Android Studio in depth see Exploring Android Studio
In this lesson Jim recommends the Android Developer Tools (ADT) Bundle.
This has the Eclipse Integrated Dev Environment, ADT Plugin, Android SDK Tools and Android Platform Tools.
We also need the Java Development Kit (JDK).
Jim warns that it’s very important to check which version of the JDK is required by the Android SDK.
Walkthrough: Installing ADT Bundle and JDK
Jim demonstrates the installation. He says developer.android.com is effectively MSDN for Android.
The ADT Bundle is no longer available on its own so I recommend downloading Android Studio instead.
You will need to download the JDK as well. Jim shows how to do this. You’ll probably want JDK 8 but check the system requirements first.
Android Virtual Devices/Emulators
AVDs are essentially emulators. They allow you to test apps on your desktop.
Jim explains the AVD Definition, which is a description of what a device would look like.
We can create an AVD image from a definition. We can make modifications to definition characteristics. And we can create many instances of an image from the same definition.
There are certain scenarios that only work well on hardware devices, but the emulator images come in handy for answering questions like “what would this look like at that resolution?”
Jim explains the Android Virtual Device Manager, which allows you to create and access AVDs.
We see a screenshot of the “Create new Android Virtual Device (AVD)” modal dialog box and Jim explains the key options here.
Walkthrough: Creating an AVD
Jim demonstrates how to create an AVD from the ADT. This is very similar to how it works in Android Studio so this advice is still good.
He creates a new Android application called “MyFirstAndroidApp”. He clicks the bug icon to debug the program using the emulator.
We see a Hello World application running in the emulator.
Debugging using a real device
Jim warns that AVDs are not enough. Debugging using a real device must be part of your testing.
He says debugging on a real device requires some extra setup: enabling USB debugging and installing USB drivers on your desktop computer
Enable USB debugging on a device
Jim says there is an inconsistency in how debugging is enabled. The location of the USB debugging checkbox depends on which version of Android you are using. He explains some common locations.
Most probably you’ll be using Android 4.2 or newer. This involves tapping the Build number 7 times to “become a developer” and unlock the developer options.
Install USB drivers on your desktop
Jim explains the different kinds of USB drivers. Most Android Developer Phones use the Google USB Driver. The Galaxy Nexus relies on a Samsung provided driver.
Walkthrough: Downloading Google USB Driver
Jim shows how to do this using the Android SDK Manager. We see the Google USB drivers are downloaded to \sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\
You may need to download a driver from the manufacturer of your Android device.
Special considerations for Android 4.2.2 and newer
Security requirements were increased in Android 4.2.2. You need to confirm that USB debugging is allowed on the device.
Generally you’ll just check “Always allow from this computer” and click OK.
We see the sleepy cat photos in this lesson. Just like a cat, you can wake up your Android device but if you leave it alone it will go back to sleep.
On most devices in the Developer options there’s a Stay awake checkbox. Jim explains there’s also a Stay Awake app that is useful. | <urn:uuid:53565cdd-169e-4a67-8615-f89e55ee71c5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://zombiecodekill.com/2016/09/30/android-for-net-developers-setting-up-your-environment/ | 2020-09-23T02:22:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400209665.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200923015227-20200923045227-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.881578 | 1,009 |
|I became a Swedish International mountainguide in 1994, UIAGM. Since then I have guided year round all over the world. Rockclimbing, alpine climbing, trekking, skitouring, offpist lift-skiing, heliskiing and expeditions. I love my job and I always think of new places to take my clients. Safety is the first issue, then comes happy days with magic ski-descents and good company. My interest for skiing /climbing and the nature started early. After I finished school I spent quite a few winters skibumming in Chamonix, then I attended a Tourism and Sport school for two years in Kiruna, in the north of Sweden.
||During the years 1991-94 I did my training to be a mountainguide, and got my badge 1994. Member of the Swedish Guide Association (SBO) training and examining team since 2002. I have enjoyed longdistance multisport-races in NZ and Argentina, a great way to see the country. Pia and I decided to travel and take our jobs everywhere. We love New Zealand. My favorite travels for skiing at the moment is Japan and Chile, and India.... and northern Sweden.... well, in fact, the world is magic. Today heliskiing in the north of Sweden and around the world is popular, and I like it too. | <urn:uuid:18729734-d63e-4b69-8282-d612e5fde8ee> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | http://alpint.com/content/10-mountain-time | 2020-09-24T12:27:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.957313 | 289 |

Remember Jenny, the lovely Anthology reader who went to Istanbul? Well she’s back. And she, like those who visited that beautiful city before her, looted the Grand Bazaar.
“It’s really an overwhelming labyrinth of shops,” she says. “I got two beautiful necklaces of turquoise and amber (similar to the one that you recently blogged about). I loved how Istanbul was such an eclectic and diverse mix of the old and the new.”
Man, I miss that city. How gorgeous would her two pendants look worn together on two chains of different lengths?

Reviewed by Scott Hazard, Associate Critic for John Garcia's THE COLUMN
Written by Matthew Lord, with musical arrangements by Kelley Poche Rodriguez, this musical brings light to the happenings on the campaign trail as the main character, Donald Drumpf, does his best to shake up American politics, specifically at the cost of poor people, immigrants, women and anyone who expresses any opinion counter to his own.
The play details the early days of Drumpf getting that “small loan” of millions of dollars from his father, his days at the famous school he attended and his eventual arrival on to the national political scene.
Lord does his best to keep up with this ever-changing landscape, keeping the play current by adding or altering scenes and dialogue, which is no small feat in a time when the current news cycle goes from “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy America?” to “And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the p***y, you can do anything.” So I envision Matthew Lord watching the news while sitting at his typewriter with a flustered look on his face as more and more content is produced daily by the Drumpfster. Bottom line… if you are one who enjoys a romp through the political mud pile and you’re not offended by R-rated language and antics, this show is a hell of a good time.
The show is narrated by Bernie Sanders, played to perfection by John Garrison. Bernie pops in and out, a Greek chorus of sorts, and keeps the story moving along. Garrison has the accent, the mannerisms and other aspects of Bernie down very well, as well as the way that we all know Bernie wants to end every sentence!
Drumpf is played by Cliff McClelland. While I seriously wonder if there is anyone left in America not making fun of and imitating Drumpf, I have to say that McClelland’s version is spot-on. That pursing of the lips, the overall look and the vocal inflections are very good. I don’t see a make-up credit in the program, but the trademark yellow circles around his eyes, that fade perfectly in to that lovely orange skin make this character complete.
Also present on the stage was Hillary Clinton, hilariously played by Kyle Januszewski. Might I add that Hillary is in no way immune to a good lampooning in this play, so if you lean toward the right, this won’t be a completely maddening experience for you.
The company plays the largest part in this show. A cast of characters from Tanya Harding to Chris Christie to Trig Palin (nobody is immune to Lord’s satire) will keep you laughing until you eventually snort. I’d hoped for an appearance by Dr. Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church, Dallas, who fully supports Drumpf even after his disgusting, rape-culture-promoting tirade was brought to light, but it was not to be. Regardless, this play is rife with hilarious one-liners, most of them delivered by the ensemble. I have to admit that I was a bit jealous watching this because it looked like the cast was having so much fun.
If the current political landscape has you feeling completely dejected and ready to finally make that move to Zimbabwe that you’ve been contemplating, be sure to see this show before you leave the country. For at least two hours (thanks to Lord using actual quotes from Drumpf), you will be entertained by the shenanigans from CITIZEN DRUMPF at Oh Look Performing Arts Center.

Mudbugs’ GM Muscutt: ‘I Like Where This Team Is Right Now’ [VIDEO]
Shreveport Mudbugs General Manager Scott Muscutt talks with 101.7 / 710 KEEL's Robert J Wright about the current state of Mudbugs hockey, this year's team and the pressures of being a defending champion.
Muscutt tells KEEL listeners that because of the team's two-decade tradition of excellence, "you come equipped with expectations every year. But the reality is, it's hard to come right back after it, after a championship year at this level." The GM then explains how Mudbugs hockey put "twenty two players (from last year's team) at the next level."
The Mudbugs, defending Robertson Cup champions, play in the North American Hockey League, one of the top junior hockey leagues in America. Players are mostly college age and retain their amateur status.

There has been so much speculation, rumors and analysis on Apple’s iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C lately, it seems as if the iPad has been forgotten. Apple is the leader in the tablet market, and its “very busy fall,” according to CFO Peter Oppenheimer, could wind up seeing Apple extend that lead. Particularly, if it announces not one, but two new iPads as expected.
There’s been a lot of speculation about what the popular iPad mini would have and wouldn’t have. A few weeks ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple’s next version of the iPad mini will indeed include Retina display, something people have been clamoring for in the popular 7.9-inch tablet since its debut last November.
Apple uses the higher-resolution screen in the larger iPad, so it makes sense that it will do the same in the iPad mini refresh. Previously, people had expected that Apple would not include Retina display in this update, but would do so later in the product cycle.
The Cupertino, California-based company has lost some of its tablet market share, sliding to 32.4% in the second quarter from 39.6% in the first quarter, per IDC. The persistent rumors that Apple may make two versions of the next iPad mini could be a response to the steep decline in market share, as it looks to fend off other OEMs, including Samsung and Google.
Samsung held 18% of the market, while ASUS, which makes the Nexus 7, owns 4.5%.
In addition to a Retina display, the iPad mini is likely to see a better processor, perhaps the A7, and look very similar to the original iPad mini, at just 7.2 millimeters thick, sporting the slim bezel that consumers love. Judging by Apple’s fiscal third-quarter results, it’s safe to say Apple fans are still happy with Apple’s tablet offerings, as it sold 14.6 million iPads during the quarter, nearly double what Samsung shipped.
In addition to a refreshed iPad mini, Apple is likely to update the larger iPad as well. Taking some cues from the iPad mini, the iPad will likely use the slim bezel from its smaller companion, as consumers want more screen on their tablets. It’s also possible that the device itself has thinned out, and sports a new processor, and better cameras as well.
A purported photo of the fifth-generation iPad’s housing leaked earlier this year, further supporting the idea that Apple’s next iPad will adopt the iPad mini’s design identity.
Perhaps the biggest change the iPad lineup will see is that of iOS 7, which is Apple’s newest operating system. The new mobile OS is a drastic change from Apple’s previous offerings. It sports flatter app designs, a new color scheme and a host of new services, including iTunes Radio. | <urn:uuid:0510e608-3eac-4750-88cb-7234bdee0ced> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://bgr.com/2013/08/21/ipad-5-rumor-roundup-ipad-mini-2/ | 2020-09-24T11:53:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.95954 | 610 |
Let there be light!
You might already know of my bootstrapped startup Gauss – The People Magnet. What some of you might not know is that I teach entrepreneurial students at universities, young hopeful startups at NEXT, keynoting events and F500* corporates that as a startup entrepreneur you need to:
- Talk to everybody about everything all of the time
- Expose yourself and your ideas to as many people (your potential users and customers) as soon as possible
- Acknowledge and understand that no smart person or company will ever copy you before you have a validated and proven business model
I have come to realize that it is about embarrassingly high time that I start practice what I preach. It’s about time to start eating my own dog food. I’m spontaneously throwing everything out there to see what happens when you shine as much light from as many sources as possible on your ideas and assumptions instead of having them worshipped inside the cult of the stealth startup. I don’t expect much and I have nothing to lose but my vanity, so here we go.
I hereby declare death to the cult of stealth startups and pledge and acknowledge that I will:
- Publish and solicit feedback as broadly as possible on any and all prototypes before writing a single line of code (e.g. as features described in text, click-dummies or paper wireframes)
- Be ready to face any and all critique in public in any form or way, the more and more brutally honest the better
- Risk the embarrassment of being ridiculed and failing spectacularly in public
- Risk having my ideas stolen by competitors
- Only exercise the option to stop sharing everything in public, if and only if, I have a validated product-market fit or when I have a validated business model
As of now, I’m going to publish all prototypes instead of following the cult of the stealth startup. I LOVE your feedback going forward and you can use this form (so you can remain anonymous) or feel free to leave comments on this post in public. Be brutally honest. I’m ready to take it! :)
Here’s a scrappy video walk-through (and in no way am I apologizing for the poor quality, because I also preach it is better to have something instead of nothing!):
And here are two click dummies for you to test on your iPhone for yourself (they should sort of work on Android too, though).
The main click-dummy with core concepts. (Try this first for basic concepts and tap Robert Scoble to test features as his profile is the only interactive one)
This next click dummy will show you what happens when you get a notification from Gauss. (BTW, profiles are inactive, not tap-able in this version)
Let me know what you think. Is this a great idea or worst ever? Should we all remain loyal followers of the dark cult of the stealth startup or is it about time to let the public sunshine in? I shared this post on HN so feel free to continue the discussion there too.
*Caveat: Obviously, if you’re inside a F500 corporation, sharing within your enterprise is assumed, not necessarily with the public. That would obviously open up a can of whoop-ass from your legal department. Enterprise is funny that way. | <urn:uuid:69134300-0f48-446e-98e7-200126ac8014> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://blog.vidarandersen.com/tag/hn/ | 2020-09-24T11:37:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.947118 | 694 |

The saying above is a truism. Most Americans have been living in a bubble most of our lives. Protected from a harsher reality. Even now, many are still in a bubble. Those areas that haven’t been hard hit by COVID-19 are still moving on, life somewhat changed but not as much as its going to be. Those places that are leveling off want to go back to “normal.”
The rallying cry now is: When do we get back to normal?
Which begs the question: What is normal?
One where we ignored climate change? Where wealth inequality grew by leaps and bounds, with the richer getting richer and the poor being squeezed harder and harder. Even now we see the disparity in even who a virus kills; with more minorities dying. And the poor are dying alone in their apartments or homeless and many will never be counted among the final tolls.
We lost 3,000 Americans on 9-11 and proceeded on a wanton course of destruction, killing hundreds of thousands and spending trillions of dollars. And lost. That lesson needs to really sink it. But it hasn’t.
Pandemics always happen. Any fool who says “No one could have seen this coming!” is a complete idiot who has no clue of history and reality. It was inevitable. And it is inevitable again. It’s likely we’ll be stuck with COVID-19 for a very long time and require yearly vaccination and even then it will kill tens of thousands each year.
As we crank up industry and travel again, climate change will pick up again. Can we cut back on world-wide weapons spending and militaries and shift our energies into making life better? We’ve definitely learned spending over 700 billion on the Department of Defense didn’t defend us. In fact, DOD failed miserably considering biological warfare is one of the three legs of weapons of mass destruction. It’s obvious our military leaders are incompetent and failed their troops and the country.
Can we focus on renewable energy? Can we mothball wasteful and dangerous cruise ships? Cut back on unnecessary air travel? We’ve learned more people can work from home than we thought. Right there we can help the climate by cutting back on commuting.
Life not only won’t get back to “normal”. It shouldn’t get back to normal.
Stay safe. Stay positive. Be like Cool Gus. Or even Scout.

We wrap us this week on Father’s Day. Though this day is meant for celebration, it’s also a day on which those of us who acknowledge that we have wonderful influences in our lives can be thankful.
During challenging times, it’s easy to reflect on all that isn’t going as well as we hope but, for the sake of moving forward, it’s good to take stock of how far we’ve come before we look at how much more remains to be done.
During the week, BNV’s writers talked about power and its limitations; understanding one another across different cultures; how we treat ourselves and the creatures we share this planet with; and what it means to do what we all do — grow older (and face whatever comes along with that, whether it’s in sickness or in health). We all know that every week presents new challenges, but we have to ensure that we examine new options to see where we fit in and how best to resolve our problems.
Where do we start?
Well, on Father’s Day, perhaps it’s best to begin with the youngest among us; lead by example. Teach them that they should look at all sides of an equation before choosing what’s best. Make sure they know that even if something appears broken it doesn’t have to stay that way. Let them see that they have to make their own informed choices because not everyone who appears smart or successful will take actions that are in the best interests of many of us. Inform them that they should listen to their own voice, rather than those of paid shills with a selfish corporate agenda. Instruct them to pay attention to the messages and support that others receive, and from whom. And, with much guidance, expose them to other tried and true ways of doing things. With your support, the youngsters will grow up to be fully functioning, self-contained, self-stabilising individuals who can behave like adults.
Finally, let them know that not all is bleak — if we educate and entertain, we can eradicate a few borders along the way! | <urn:uuid:48122bfa-4ef5-4284-a66d-4db282b1b3ff> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://borderlessnewsandviews.com/2012/06/17/june-17-2012-wrap-it-up/ | 2020-09-24T10:51:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.970781 | 440 |
For all questions related to the World Chess Championship: its holders, contestants, history, etc.
In 1886 Wilhelm Steinitz won the first match billed as a world championship, defeating Johannes Zukertort in a twenty-game match (+10 =5 -5). The crown then passed directly from champion to champion via match play until 1948, when Alexander Alekhine died as champion. At that point, FIDE held a match-tournament to determine a new world champion, which was won by Mikhail Botvinnik. The crown remained solely under the auspices of FIDE until 1993, when sitting champion Garry Kasparov broke away from FIDE to form his own rival organization, the PCA. This ushered in an era of two split titles, which lasted until 2006, when Vladimir Kramnik (holder of the crown coming from Kasparov's branch) defeated Veselin Topalov (holder of the FIDE crown) in a reunification match. Since then, the crown has remained again under the auspices of FIDE. | <urn:uuid:fad04392-eed5-452e-973e-198792df6332> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://chess.stackexchange.com/tags/world-championship/info | 2020-09-24T11:46:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.937123 | 213 |

CBS Films has optioned screen rights to Deus Ex, the video game franchise from Square Enix. While vidgame film transfers don’t usually translate to big box office success, the Deus Ex franchise certainly has a following. Launched in 2000, its latest entry, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, topped global sales charts when it was released last year. Developed by Eidos-Montréal and published by Square Enix, Deus Ex: Human Revolution will serve as the primary template for the film. Roy Lee and Adrian Askarieh are attached to produce and John P. Middleton will executive produce.
Set in the near future, when dramatic advances in science, specifically human augmentation, have triggered a technological renaissance, Deus Ex: Human Revolution follows Adam Jensen, an ex-SWAT security specialist who must embrace mechanical augments in order to unravel a global conspiracy.
“As is clear from the wild success of the game, Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal know how to exceed their audience’s expectations by engineering incredible worlds,” CBS Films co-president Terry Press said. “No one knows Human Revolution like the team that created it and we look forward to working with them from day one to make a film adaptation worthy of the Deus Ex name.”
“As the millions of fans who have played the Deus Ex games for more than a decade will tell you, these games catapult you into a universe that is stimulating, engaging and relevant,” said Phil Rogers, president/CEO of Square Enix Europe. “We’re firm believers in building strong partnerships and so we’re thrilled to be working with CBS Films on bringing the unique Deus Ex experience to the big screen.” EVP Production Maria Faillace and Creative Executive Alex Ginno are overseeing the project for CBS Films.

School Year 11 Dean and Learning Support Co-ordinator year 7-13
“There is a definite difference in Jessica. She is more confident and is progressing well. I am working my way through the trigger words, this visual and tactile approach does work! I also appreciate that you were able to share what you did (with me) so that I can continue to work in this way… this student entered our school 6 years below her chronological age and after six months of intensive one to one tuition (including the week she worked with you) her Reading age (with Comprehension) improved by 4 years. We continue to see improvements”
Lance Moncrieff age 50
“I completed the 5 day course with Jayne Pivac at the age of 50, this has been a new learning curve. The Davis Program taught me an easy way to read books, to fully understand and to appreciate what is written from cover to cover.
Fiction especially, has always been more difficult. However I now look forward to catching up on the many books I missed out on since my School days. Reading is now really enjoyable. Thanks Jayne!”
PARENT: Layla age 9
“Thank – you so much Jayne, your insight, inspiration and work you have done with Layla has had such a positive impact. Layla always knew something wasn’t quite “working” at school. She managed to stay up with the class using every trick on the book, but has needed help especially in reading and spelling. Since completing the Davis course her idea of what she can accomplish academically has rapidly improved, with better results too. Her attitude is now “I CAN” A lot of new positive changes noticed, like joining and enjoying team sports (hockey), reading for fun, finishing tasks and setting tasks/projects for herself. MUCH MORE CONFIDENT”
Michele Bluck age 37
“In my teenage years I had a lot of headaches, as an adult these were very frequent and lasted days at a time, which was debilitating. Since doing the 5 day course 1 year ago I have had only three headaches! I am able to use the tools taught by Jayne to control my perception and speed of interaction. I never thought I had any kind of problem at schooI, I do remember thinking the teachers spoke extremely slowly (boring!) My level of reading, comprehension, writing ability and my use of the english language has increased dramatically. I know I have benefitted enormously from the course = THANKS JAYNE! :)”
“The Davis Dyslexia approach has given me the confidence to just be in the world… I am more curious and interested in learning…
I am very grateful to my Davis approach facilitator Jayne, who was consistantly patient and supportive… I think the Davis approach offers the gift of freedom: to live as a human being”
PARENT: Carolyn Williams
“Oh My!!! What a change!
The school had some of the Books you recommended – he has read 3 of them so far. He is really keen to do his reading and maths homework and is not shy about reading anything.
He still has some times where he is disorientated, but most of the time he is orientated. I cannot believe how much of a change the training has made to Addison’s reading and learning ability.
I just want to thank you once again for your patience, care and passion for correcting Dyslexia in adults and children. We are advocates of the Davis Dyslexia program! With thanks Carolyn”
JESSICA age 12:
“Before I went to Jayne I thought I couldn’t achieve anything, now I think I CAN DO ANYTHING!”
REQUEST A CONSULTATION
It’s time to take care of your abilities!

As I search for words to describe what I am feeling today, I can’t help but think of what it is like to stand up in front of a crowd at the funeral of someone you loved dearly who is gone, the right words simply do not exist, nor is there enough time left in your life for me to ever describe how you feel.
Only this feeling is not of loss, or sadness, but of joy, and God-breathed transformation. Describing the 57 kids who are in our widow led forever families at Bring Love In, and trying to put words to the feelings that I feel when watching them grow and change and become something new, is the closest thing to impossible that I know of.
Helplessness has changed to joy
Shame has been transformed into confidence
Distrust is gone and in its place family, hope, and strong solid ground.
Yet for Jessie and I, in the eyes of each child we see something else as well, we see confirmation, we see the joyous truth that this plan works, and that these kids are worth every bit of what together all of us have put into their lives. They are the reason we are here, and their transformation is what pushes us on. No, we aren’t special, or trying to pull attention to ourselves, we would much rather disappear into the sidelines while God does his thing in this ministry, what I mean is that there is always this part of you that wonders if this is really the right plan, and if the change you are trying so hard to affect is real, lasting change. In this part of the world where so many efforts fail, and so many questions remain despite years of struggle that costs you everything you have, one must evaluate often, and the wondering never ends. But here, and now, and in each child, we see something that we are infinitely proud of, this is real change, real good, and God gets all of the glory for all of it. Because we all know that none of what has happened is our efforts, its His Grace, and His love, and it is beautiful.
And so we stand tall and say “Charge on!” We are here for good, and will do whatever it takes to give these kids they life and love they deserve.
Today the charge has us coming to you with a request. We need more people who will commit to come along side us and take on this load of providing financially for the 57 kids in our 9 forever families. In the last two years we have seen the costs of taking care of these kids is going up, and despite our trying everything we can to make it work with our current budget, we are finding that it is impossible to take a 35% rise in food prices, a 50% increase in school fees, and a 25% rise in housing costs and still make our income match our expenses. Math does not work that way unfortunately (Oh my how we tried… But it just won’t bend to our will for some reason!)
They way our sponsorships work for the Forever Families is that we find sponsors to take on a portion of a home, then we group the sponsors by family and together they take care of the needs for that one house. Currently we have sponsors who are giving a total of $850 per month for each of our 9 houses. In our new budget with all the increases we have seen in costs we need to be raising $1200 per month for each home. This will give us an opportunity to take care of all the day to day expenses, and have a little left over each month for some of the unexpected things that come along. As you can imagine, with 57 kids there is always one emergency or another happening. (The emergency room attendants at the hospital down the street know our in house nurse quite well)
When you break it down this new budget means that each home with 7 kids will be raising a total of $170 per child per month. I don’t know about you, but when you consider all of the things that this covers, like housing, a spending allowance for the moms, private school, and so on, that actually sounds like a pretty stinking good deal! Even though costs have gone up, we are still thankful that we can provide so much good to these kids for so little money.
So, here it is, the question that we are charging forward and asking today. Will you sponsor a Forever Family with us? We make it super easy for you to set up a monthly donation, and you will hear from Nick with details and photos of your family, and then a few times each year you will get an email with some pictures, and an update letting you know how everyone is doing. You will literally be helping to pay for a family that is raising the future leaders of Ethiopia. We are in this for the long run, in it to make change for good in this country!
Are you up for it?
We need new sponsors to give something that will add up to a total $350 per month for each of the 9 houses, which means we are all going to need to pitch in to make this happen. Will you help by posting about this of Facebook and Twitter? Will you talk about it at your small group, or to your friends? And give, make a difference, do some serious good!
Click here to start your monthly sponsorship of a forever family. Be sure to select “Monthly Donation” so that your sponsorship will continue each month. | <urn:uuid:f69cc9a8-6137-49fa-9818-99085c83f28d> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://elevateorphan.org/widows-orphans-forever-family/ | 2020-09-24T10:46:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.968088 | 1,130 |

Smoking prevalence trends in Indigenous Australians, 1994-2004: a typical rather than an exceptional epidemic
International Journal for Equity in Health volume 8, Article number: 37 (2009)
In Australia, national smoking prevalence has successfully fallen below 20%, but remains about 50% amongst Indigenous Australians. Australian Indigenous tobacco control is framed by the idea that nothing has worked and a sense of either despondency or the difficulty of the challenge.
This paper examines the trends in smoking prevalence of Australian Indigenous men and women aged 18 and over in three large national cross-sectional surveys in 1994, 2002 and 2004.
From 1994 to 2004, Indigenous smoking prevalence fell by 5.5% and 3.5% in non-remote and remote men, and by 1.9% in non-remote women. In contrast, Indigenous smoking prevalence rose by 5.7% in remote women from 1994 to 2002, before falling by 0.8% between 2002 and 2004. Male and female Indigenous smoking prevalences in non-remote Australia fell in parallel with those in the total Australian population. The different Indigenous smoking prevalence trends in remote and non-remote Australia can be plausibly explained by the typical characteristics of national tobacco epidemic curves, with remote Indigenous Australia just at an earlier point in the epidemic.
Reducing Indigenous smoking need not be considered exceptionally difficult. Inequities in the distribution of smoking related-deaths and illness may be reduced by increasing the exposure and access of Indigenous Australians, and other disadvantaged groups with high smoking prevalence, to proven tobacco control strategies.
Australia has successfully reduced national daily smoking prevalence (aged 14 and over) to 16.6% , and national tobacco control policy debate is now concentrated on how to reduce national smoking prevalence to 9% by 2020 . In contrast, the most recent national survey of Indigenous Australians reported that 50% aged 18 and over were daily smokers . There are two distinct groups of Indigenous peoples in Australia: Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islanders. One-quarter of Indigenous Australians (compared with 2% of the total Australian population) live in remote areas with less access to most services. Nevertheless Indigenous Australians live in all the parts of the country, including all states and territories, and comprise 2.5% of the Australian population (about 90% of whom are Aboriginal people) but have much poorer health than other Australians . A public campaign to reduce this health inequality with the slogan 'Close the Gap' was launched in 2007 by Indigenous, human rights and other non-government organizations . The language of the campaign was adopted by the Australian Labor Party, first in Opposition and then in government following the 2007 Australian Federal election.
Reducing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smoking and smoking-related harm is a central element in the Australian government's efforts to improve Indigenous health and to 'Close the Gap' between Indigenous and other Australians. Smoking is estimated to cause 20% of Indigenous deaths, and to be responsible for 17% of the health gap between Indigenous and other Australians [6, 7]. Smoking is the largest single risk factor contributing to the Indigenous disease burden and the health gap with other Australians. In March 2008, Australian Prime Minister Rudd announced that his government would spend an additional $14.5 million over four years on Indigenous tobacco control as one of his government's first steps to 'Close the Gap' . Later that year, further funds for tackling Indigenous smoking were announced as part of the $1.6 billion investment by the Council of Australian Governments in 'Closing the gap' .
Whilst Australian tobacco control advocates struggle with reduced media and public interest due to the perception that all their battles have been won , Australian Indigenous tobacco control is framed by the idea that nothing has worked and a sense of either despondency or the difficulty of the challenge. Several recent government and research reports comment that the prevalence of smoking in the Australian Indigenous population has not changed, whilst smoking has fallen in the Australian population [4, 11–14], These comments are mainly based on the estimates of total Indigenous smoking prevalence in three national Indigenous surveys performed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) in 1994, 2002 and 2004: the National Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Survey (NATSIS), Social Survey (NATSISS), and Health Survey (NATSIHS). Some, however, also use the smaller Indigenous samples in the 1995 and 2001 National Health Surveys. However, as is only rarely noted , the different survey reports used different age cut-offs or different definitions of smoking. Researchers have not performed the detailed examination of Indigenous smoking prevalence trends as has occurred for the total Australian population . A notable exception is the recent paper describing falling smoking prevalence from 1996 to 2005 in both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students aged 12 to 17 years participating in triennial surveys of secondary school students .
This paper examines the trends in smoking prevalence of Indigenous men and women aged 18 and over in three large national surveys in 1994, 2002 and 2004, and the implications for tobacco control in this high smoking prevalence disadvantaged group. The next national Indigenous survey has been completed, however, results will not be available until 2010.
The National Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Survey was conducted from April to July 1994, the National Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Social Survey from August 2002 to April 2003, and the National Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Health Survey from August 2004 to July 2005 [3, 18, 19]. All three surveys used multi-stage sampling strategies. The 1994 NATSIS sampled all residents from randomly selected households from a stratified sample of Census Collection Districts. The 2002 NATSISS and 2004 NATSIHS randomly sampled up to three residents from randomly selected households from either a stratified sample of Census Collection Districts or a random sample of discrete Indigenous communities and outstations. Non-private dwellings (e.g. hostels, hospitals, caravan parks and prisons) were only sampled in the first survey, but these were excluded from the file analysed in this paper . Response rates were about 80-90% in each survey [3, 19, 21].
Analyses used STATA Version 10 with the Confidentialised Unit Record Files (CURF) for each survey via ABS's Remote Data Laboratory. Under this arrangement, researchers do not have direct access to the datasets, but instead submit statistical code to ABS, which runs the commands and returns the results to the researchers. All analyses used the expansion factor (or person weight) for each respondent to adjust for the disproportionate sampling of some groups, and so estimates reflect the total Indigenous population not just the sample . These weights are based on the Indigenous estimated resident population in private dwellings on 30 June 1994, 31 December 2002 and 2004 [3, 19, 20]. Confidence intervals were calculated using the replicate weights for each person generated by ABS . As ABS only created 100 replicate weights for the first survey but 250 for the subsequent surveys, it was not possible to combine the files to directly compare smoking prevalences between surveys (and estimate the confidence intervals of any differences) or to build logistic regression models to examine trends in more detail.
The surveys differed in the ways that smoking status was determined and other characteristics of respondents were classified. The first survey only reported whether people smoked or did not; the second survey asked if current smokers were daily smokers or not; the third survey asked if current smokers were either daily, at least weekly or less than weekly smokers. So even though the reports based on the last two surveys describe prevalences of daily smokers, this paper concentrates on prevalences of current smokers: the only consistent category. The last survey only asked people aged 18 and over about smoking, so this paper concentrates on this age group even though younger people were asked the question in earlier surveys. Variables for state or territory of Australia were not included in the CURF for the first survey, so the analyses using state or territory for this survey were performed separately by ABS using the original dataset. Remote regions include those classified by the Accessibility/Remoteness Index of Australia (ARIA) as remote or very remote and include most of the continent: all of the arid inland and almost all of the tropical North. Indigenous status was only available for those in Queensland in the last two surveys (62% of Torres Strait Islanders lived in Queensland in 2006) ; in the last survey if respondents were both Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal they were classified as Torres Strait Islander, so I treated those in the 2002 survey similarly even though a separate category for both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander was available. In the first survey, those who listed both Indigenous groups, were classified as Aboriginal if they listed Aboriginal before Torres Strait Islander, and vice versa.
There were 7,710 and 8,523 and 5,757 Indigenous people aged 18 and over who responded to the 1994, 2002 and 2004 surveys. Data on smoking status was missing for ten, seventy and one respondents aged 18 and over in the three surveys. These non-respondents were excluded in all calculations of smoking prevalence.
Ethical approval was given by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the NT Department of Health and Families and Menzies School of Health Research, including its Aboriginal subcommittee.
Smoking prevalence in the Australian Indigenous population 18 and over declined by 2.4% from 1994 to 2004: from 54.5% (95% CI 51.7-57.4) in 1994 to 53.5(CI 51.0-56.0) in 2002 to 52.1% (CI 49.9-54.3) in 2004.
Figure 1 shows different smoking prevalences and trends for men compared to women and for remote and non-remote Australia (and the corresponding total Australian smoking prevalence trends). Most differences are small, with overlapping confidence intervals suggesting that differences may have occurred by chance, but some consistent trends are apparent (see Tables 1 and 2). There were much larger differences between the smoking prevalences of men and women in remote regions, which decreased from 1994 to 2004, than between men and women in non-remote regions. In each survey, men in remote regions had the highest smoking prevalence and women in remote regions the lowest; men and women from non-remote regions had similar smoking prevalences between these extremes. From 1994 to 2004, smoking prevalence fell by 5.5% and 3.5% in non-remote and remote men, and by 1.9% in non-remote women. In contrast, smoking prevalence rose by 5.7% in remote women from 1994 to 2002, before falling by 0.8% between 2002 and 2004.
In New South Wales, the Australian jurisdiction with the largest Indigenous population, there were small consistent falls of 3.5% and 2.2% in smoking prevalence in men and women, from 1994 to 2004. In Western Australia, smoking prevalence in men fell by a large 13.4% from 1994 to 2004. In contrast, smoking prevalence in women in the Northern Territory rose by 12.4% from 1994 to 2002, before falling slightly by 2004. In Queensland, Torres Strait Islander men and women had consistently lower smoking prevalences than Aborigines in the surveys.
The lack of comparability between national Indigenous survey results has seriously limited the ability of Australian tobacco control advocates and policy makers to accurately assess progress in reducing Indigenous smoking. By reanalysing the surveys using standardised classifications of smoking status and age, this study goes some way to rectifying this deficiency.
While the insufficient power of the surveys to more precisely measure smoking prevalence, and so identify small changes between surveys, suggests caution in the interpretation of the results, this study indicates that it may not be true that Indigenous smoking prevalences have remained largely unchanged whilst Australian smoking prevalences have fallen, as has conventionally been stated by many in the past. Australian smoking prevalences in men and women aged 18 and over fell by 5% (29 to 24%) and 2% (23 to 21%) from 1995 to 2004 . Almost all (98%) of the non-Indigenous population live in non-remote regions . Male and female Indigenous smoking prevalences in non-remote Australia fell by 5.5% and 1.9% in parallel with these total Australian smoking prevalences, albeit from a much higher initial prevalence in 1994.
Accelerations and decelerations in the decline in Australian smoking prevalence has been noted to be associated with the level of tobacco control advocacy, legislative activity, taxation (and so the price of cigarettes), and national expenditure on social marketing and other tobacco control activities--with most of 1990s being a period of low tobacco control activity and slower falls in smoking prevalence [16, 23, 24]. It is not possible with only three surveys to make similar claims about the association between the rates of decline in Indigenous smoking prevalences, in either remote or non-remote regions, and the level of total and specifically targeted Indigenous tobacco control activity.
Australian Indigenous smoking prevalences have also not been resiliently static in remote regions, where one quarter of the Indigenous population lives . The declining male smoking prevalence from very high levels and the rise of female smoking prevalence to a lower peak can be explained neatly by the typical characteristics of the stages and shape of the national tobacco epidemics in men and women. Lopez and colleagues describe male smoking prevalence rising and then falling first, with female smoking prevalence rising more slowly, reaching a lower peak then initially falling more slowly than male prevalence . The remote and non-remote Indigenous smoking trends suggest that remote Indigenous Australia is just at an earlier point in the tobacco epidemic than non-remote Indigenous people, plausibly reflecting later access to commercial cigarettes and later and less exposure to tobacco control activities. Sadly, this typical pattern of the tobacco epidemic, and the lag between peaks in smoking prevalence and mortality, predicts that smoking-attributable Indigenous deaths, at the very least amongst remote women, will continue to rise for some years, regardless of any increased tobacco control activities. Many Indigenous premature deaths could have been averted if Indigenous people had been exposed to more intensive tobacco control activities much earlier in the Indigenous smoking epidemic. The reasons for inadequate Indigenous exposure to tobacco control activity may just be the same as the reasons for less Indigenous access to other health services, but may also include the relative neglect of tobacco control compared to other Indigenous health priorities.
The remote and non-remote classifications conflate considerable heterogeneity in smoking prevalence. For example, all of the NT except its capital city Darwin and its immediate environs is classified as remote, yet there is a more than ten-fold difference in lung cancer incidence between its East Arnhem and Alice Springs Rural regions , reflecting dramatically different smoking prevalences two decades earlier . All remote (or non-remote) regions are unlikely to have the same smoking prevalence or be at the same point in the tobacco epidemic.
It is difficult to neatly interpret the different Indigenous smoking trends in the different Australian states and territories. Firstly, and most importantly, interpretation is hampered by the smaller subgroup sample sizes and consequently large confidence intervals. Secondly, jurisdictions have different mixes, which cannot be neatly unscrambled, of two factors that could influence Indigenous smoking trends: the proportions of the Indigenous population who live in remote and non-remote areas (and so who are at different stages of the tobacco epidemic) and the amount of generic and targeted Indigenous tobacco control activity.
The main limitation of this study is that almost all differences were not statistically significant; however, some clear patterns emerged. Only by including questions about smoking in the five-yearly Australian Census could these concerns about statistical power be completely addressed. Larger regular national Indigenous surveys are probably impractical: even the smallest of these three surveys interviewed 1 in 45 of the total Australian Indigenous population and took a year to complete interviews . Smokers may have responded differently to the different smoking questions, with their different categories in the three surveys. Some smokers, especially those smoking less than daily, may not have said they were smokers in response to the single question in 1994 . This would mean we have slightly under-estimated the falls in Indigenous smoking.
Nevertheless, it should be possible with consistent smoking questions in new national Indigenous surveys, which are now scheduled to occur every three years, to slowly build an increasingly precise picture of the trends in Australian Indigenous smoking prevalence. More thorough analyses of trends would be possible if ABS provided the data with the same number of replicate weights for each national Indigenous survey so that results could be properly compared and combined. This monitoring should form an essential part of recently accelerated Australian efforts in Indigenous tobacco control .
This study has implications for what tobacco control activities need to be included in future efforts to reduce Indigenous smoking. In the past, the apparent immobility of Indigenous smoking prevalence, whilst total Australian smoking prevalence was successfully falling, could be cited as justification to entirely re-think and re-fashion tobacco control for this Indigenous context . Whilst not denying that every population and setting is different and that tobacco control, like other health promotion, should be sensitive to and acknowledge the local context, we should no longer say that Australian Indigenous smoking is so different that we need to abandon all the strategies that have been proven so effective in the rest of the Australian population and elsewhere. There can be space to trial innovative ideas but the emphasis should be on established tobacco control activities, which should be evaluated in the different local Indigenous settings, and which can readily be made consistent with the key principles for Indigenous tobacco control that were proposed during consultations with Indigenous groups . Indigenous tobacco control need not be considered exceptional, nor should reducing Indigenous smoking be considered exceptionally difficult. However, this study should not be cause for any self-congratulation in Indigenous tobacco control: very high Indigenous smoking prevalences have caused too many premature deaths that could have been prevented by additional and better tobacco control activity.
The implications of this study extend to tobacco control in groups with high smoking prevalence in other countries. First, there is the warning to read closely the published series of reports of national omnibus surveys; in different years, reports may use different categories of smoking status or different age cut-offs and may not always focus on the different smoking prevalences of men and women. More importantly, we should not immediately assume that groups with high smoking prevalence are resistant to the tobacco control activities that are known to be most effective. Such groups may be similarly responsive, but just starting from higher smoking prevalences as they are at an earlier stage in the epidemic.
In Australia, mass media led campaigns have led to falls of similar magnitude in the smoking prevalence in disadvantaged groups (with high smoking prevalence) and less disadvantaged socio-economic groups . An international review of the impact of population-based tobacco control activities on social inequalities in smoking, found overall that tobacco control activities have a similar impact on disadvantaged and less disadvantaged socio-economic groups, but that increased tobacco taxation has a greater impact on more disadvantaged groups . Concerns about the possible lesser impact of smokefree environments legislation on the most disadvantaged may lessen as this legislation expands to more of the public and private spaces used by disadvantaged workers and unemployed people. This is an example of increasing the exposure and access of the most disadvantaged groups to proven tobacco control strategies, rather concentrating than re-inventing new strategies for these groups. In New Zealand, Wilson and colleagues have shown how such enhanced tobacco control has the potential to reduce the mortality gap between Mâori (the indigenous people of New Zealand) and those of New Zealand European ethnicity . Increasing the exposure of Indigenous Australians to proven tobacco control strategies also has the potential to 'Close the Gap' in Australia.

Liam Payne surprised fans on May 11 by announcing that his first solo single will arrive on May 19, and we’re shook. The name of the song is a clear sign that it’s going to be one of the sexiest pieces of music ever! Find out what it is here.
“Ready?” Liam Payne, 23, asked fans on Facebook Live, revealing that his new single “Strip That Down” will be here May 19! Watch the video teaser right here.
Liam first teased fans on May 10 by uploading a clip of himself walking around shirtless, and he used the same pair of eyeballs emoji in his tweet alerting fans that he’d be going live. At the time, it was unclear as to whether the visual was a preview of a new song/music video, commercial or other type of campaign, but now we know that it’s part of the video for “Strip That Down.” Also, we’d be wrong to avoid mentioning that he looks like a sexy beast in it.
HollywoodLifers, are you excited for Liam’s next move? Tell us if you’re pumped to hear his new music! | <urn:uuid:7096008e-c94c-4e68-8e67-d0b4ad7ae7c3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://hollywoodlife.com/2017/05/11/liam-payne-new-music-strip-that-down-video/ | 2020-09-24T10:39:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.967508 | 257 |
Lord, you love discretion, you love light, you love love; these three you love above the other operations of the soul. Hence these will be sayings of discretion for the wayfarer, of light for the way, and of love in the wayfaring.
—-John of the Cross
John of Cross presents to us an approach to soul spirituality. He asserts that there are three operations of the soul that are primary. These operations guide us on our journey as we travel towards God. We are wayfarers searching for our ultimate home. For me, this is a familiar journey. During nearly all of our 40 years of marriage, my wife and I have either lived in Parsonages or knew that the home we were purchasing would have to be given up when a move was designated. The life of an itinerant preacher is not one that encourages, or allows, the stability of place. Much to our joy, an opportunity presented itself for us to purchase and move into our “forever home” two years ago. Don’t get me wrong, we lived in some very fine homes that we could never have afforded on our own, but it is such a peace to know that we are now stable.
The Christian wayfarer is on a very similar journey. He or she is happy and contented to be where God has placed them at the moment but always keeps an eye out for what is to come. We are all on a soul journey towards God and searching for the true meaning being a citizen of the God’s Kingdom.
Discretion is knowing the right thing to do and doing it with a sense of humility. Jesus said, “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others.” As wayfarers, there are many experiences that will transpire in this world before we become complete kingdom people. None of us can achieve completeness of our souls when are busy with self-promotion. God’s love is not present in showy Christians. God wants us to be discrete.
Our paths are being illuminated by the light that God supplies. There are far too many people who desire to supply their own light. In doing so, they completely miss the light of God. Our soul journey becomes a confusing mess of competing “lights” and none of them are the true light. The true light brings both freedom and responsibility. There is a sense that when we walk with the light we accept some of the burdens of others as Jesus accepted the burdens of all. As we accept the burden of others, we are given true light that will illuminate our path. Additionally, we are given the strength and wisdom that comes with God’s light. His light allows us to never be alone.
Love is the most over used and distorted word in our vocabulary. We love in all kinds of ways and still miss the love of God. His love is unconditional and unfettered. It is limitless and available to all. Our love is always so conditional and it is limited by our ability to grasp the love of God. All God wants us to do is to accept His love and He will do the rest. When we accept His love we get a view of His heart and cannot be restrained from being and acting like Him. No rules are necessary – only live in the bliss of knowing the love of God.
If you are thinking that this is too good to be true, you are probably right. There is no such thing as perfection on this journey but there is the path that seeks it. God tells us through John of the Cross that there are at least three ways that we can try to find harmony with God. My suggestion is to just try. What have you got to lose?
Lord, help me to examine the way I observe discretion, light, and love along my path. Keep these concepts in my mind as I walk the wayfarer’s path of life. Might I accept the wisdom of the wise man of the past and seek these concepts every day. | <urn:uuid:3cda1a96-b694-4ce3-874c-142d4ade84fa> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ijboudreaux.com/2017/11/08/the-loves-of-god/ | 2020-09-24T10:54:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.969719 | 849 |

Julie was recently featured in the Globe and Mail, talking about bidding war strategies. We're in the middle of a crazy market and it's tough for buyers, so they have to prepare themselves well before rushing into anything.
There are a few things a buyer needs to be aware of when going into a bidding war and we wrote an extensive guide about it here.
Here is the part that was mentioned in the Globe and Mail:
Julie Kinnear, an agent with Keller Williams Neighbourhood, also recommends trying to build a connection with a seller.
One way potential buyers can do that is to attach a bank draft for the down payment. A bank draft is more secure and therefore may put the seller’s mind at ease.
A buyer who is going to be using financing for the purchase might have a mortgage provider send out an appraiser before the offer date.
Ms. Kinnear adds that bidders who include a personal note about themselves are often successful in winning over the sellers.
In her experience, eight out of 10 times, the buyers who included something personal about themselves with the offer were the triumphant bidders.

What Women Want
The secret’s out: Women’s apparel generates big business. According to the NPD Group, a global information company, total U.S. women’s apparel retail sales reached $116.4 billion in 2013, up 4 percent from 2012. That number has caught the attention of industry giant Nike and it’s tailoring its marketing messages accordingly. At press time, Nike launched its #BetterForIt campaign as a way to inspire women trying to reach their personal fitness goals. The company hopes this major advertising spend will turn its $5 billion women’s wear business into a $7 billion business by 2017.
But not everyone is operating on Nike’s level, or budget, and no one expects that. What is expected, however, is a basic understanding of what’s hot and how to sell it. Not sure where to start? Tsedenia Kiros, director of design for Charles River Apparel, Sharon, Mass., and Mark Seymour, vice president of sales and marketing for Next Level Apparel, Gardena, Calif., shared some insights on trends and the best practices for this growing market.
WHAT'S TRENDING NOW
Fashion is cyclical. Remember those rib and baby rib fabrics that everyone had to have? They’re out, Seymour said. “The current hot trend is toward soft fabrics with stretch and recovery,” he added.
And then there is fit. Oversized tees may be great for a lazy Sunday, but many women want figure-flattering pieces, with good length and realistic sizing. “We came out with a contemporary fit, which is a more generous cut in the size medium, especially in length, and took a full retail grade as we went up in sizes to give it a more retail feel,” Seymour said.
Kiros shared a trend that ties into lifestyle. “‘Athleisure’ is a hot trend in both men’s and women’s apparel that mixes a broad category of clothing like athletic apparel, loungewear and business casual, making it appropriate for everyday wear,” she explained. “This is not a trend that will dissipate anytime soon because it has such a strong appeal and creates a lifestyle aesthetic for the wearer.” | <urn:uuid:cc7fb75b-9b22-40c4-a9ae-f2cf7d1cd8dc> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://magazine.promomarketing.com/article/what-women-want-tips-trends-selling-womens-apparel/ | 2020-09-24T10:27:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.954873 | 482 |

THOSE LONESOME WHISTLES
Written by: Mark Brine
1. As a boy ... I’d lie awake ‘n listen ’til the hour late
To hear the trains droning whistle pierce the night
‘N I’d dream away of how one day I would wander far away
Into the world ... out beyond that dim moon lite
Reaching through the night
Calling me to follow (ramble) ... those ...
2. And, as a I grew ... I always knew it was something I must do
Like a calling in my soul’s most inner ear
“N tho the noises of this life try hard to drown out
What I know is right ...
Beyond it them all ... I can always somehow hear ... those

How does the Corona crisis affect the conditions for migrant workers in the EU?
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed some exploitative employer practices for both EU and non-EU seasonal workers, especially in agriculture in some EU member states. Can the conditions for these labourers be improved without damaging the viability and competitiveness of national agriculture sectors?
Wido Geis-Thöne, Senior Economist Qualifications, Migration and Innovation, Cologne Institute for Economic Research:
"If the exploitative employer practices violate existing legislation, better controls are needed. The problem is then that there can be such a strong distortion of competition that is detrimental to law-abiding companies that, if they do not also resort to these illegal practices, they can be forced out of the market. If companies are forced to violate the law, the regulatory framework must be adapted as a matter of urgency. Otherwise, the economic order itself will be called into question. In this case, either law enforcement has to be improved, or the legal framework must be adapted. If practices move within the range of what is legally permissible, the situation is different. In this case, it should be noted that there can be very different perceptions of when individual work processes are exploitative and when they arise from operational necessities, e.g. with regard to optimal harvesting times. In this case, policymakers are called upon to listen to all sides and to assess the arguments carefully. If the regulations are carried out within a reasonable framework, there is no reason to fear that the vitality and competitiveness of the European agricultural sector will be impaired, since imports from third countries play a rather subordinate role in this area and the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) provides very strong support and protection mechanisms for domestic farms. Within the EU, agriculture, and hence seasonal workers should, in any case, be subject to largely the same rules in order to ensure that the CAP functions properly. At the same time, however, local conditions, for example with regard to wage levels, must also be considered in shaping employment relationships."
Monica Andriescu, Senior Policy Analyst, Migration Policy Institute Europe, Brussels:
"Guaranteeing fair working conditions can never be at odds with growth and competitiveness. The pandemic has exposed the fault lines of our economies and its pervasive inequalities. In these times more than ever, safeguarding workplace safety, health, and decent working conditions are critical to increasing productivity and building economic resilience. Policies cannot afford to go amiss in harnessing and protecting the human capital needed to weather the storm ahead. Exploitative working practices are regrettably still part of European labour markets, with migrants particularly vulnerable to unfair employers and temporary work agency practices. While there is political commitment at EU level to improve employment conditions for all workers, there is a need for decisive action to be channelled towards alleviating inequalities at times when they are likely to be exacerbated if left unchecked (e.g. increasing workplace inspections and encouraging the reporting of abusive practices). This is particularly relevant for sectors where workers’ vulnerabilities are heightened by the physically draining nature of their work, e.g. in agriculture. Despite the gloomy prospects this crisis brings at macro and micro levels, it does harbour opportunities to rethink connections between economic growth and good work, and how to go beyond artificial perceptions that there is an inverse relationship between them."
Rainer Münz, migration and demography expert, formerly working at the in-house think tank of the European Commission (2015-2020):
"Following initial travel restrictions and border controls, many Western European farmers and slaughterhouse operators resumed recruiting labour in Central and Eastern Europe. Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands organised airlifts from Poland, Romania, and Ukraine. Employers mainly argued that domestic job seekers lacked the required experience and endurance. Another reason was that foreign seasonal and contractual workers are less expensive. They are exempt from certain social security contributions. Minimal wage arrangements do not apply if workers are hired via subcontractors or categorised as self-employed.
The background to this wage dumping is competition within the EU. The Common Agricultural Policy does not shield Western and Southern European producers and processers from having to compete with their Central and South-Eastern European counterparts, operating in a distinctively lower wage environment. The flip side of this is retailers being able to offer lower food prices, for example, tomatoes at €1.29 per kg, apples at € 1.50 per kg or chicken nuggets at € 2.99 per kg.
The COVID-19 crisis has exposed not only the extent to which certain businesses are dependent on readily available short-term migrant workers, but also their wages and their living and working conditions. In Austria, two dozen foreign temporary agricultural workers were confined in quarantine as some of them tested positive for the virus. In Germany and the Netherlands, hundreds of slaughterhouse workers were infected at their workplaces or at boarding houses. After the death of a few Romanian workers, the Romanian Minister of Labour, Violeta Alexandru (PNL), travelled to Germany to conduct on-sight inspection. Later in May, the German Minister of Labour, Hubertus Heil (SPD) announced that from 2021, it would become illegal for slaughterhouse operators to hire non-employed foreign contractual workers. It remains to be seen if this will lead to more automation, higher retail prices for meat or in a shift of production towards EU countries with lower wage levels or less regulated labour markets."
Several EU countries, including Germany, have been recruiting migrant and refugee health and social care workers although many of these people lack the professional certificates that they would require under normal conditions. Do you foresee a relaxation of national qualification standards as a result of the Corona crisis?
Wido Geis-Thöne: "I consider it very unlikely that the Corona crisis will lead to a relaxation of national qualification requirements for health and social care professions. As far as I can see, the Corona pandemic is not expected to lead to a sharp increase in the number of people in need of care and assistance in the longer term. If this is not the case, there will be no sharp increase in the number of staff needed in the health and social services sector. The peak of the (first) pandemic wave represents an exceptional situation in this respect. However, in the context of demographic change, we will observer a gradual increase in the need for care and assistance, and this will pose major challenges for the health and social services in the medium term. It will also raise the question of whether it is possible to achieve a different mix of qualifications in these areas with a higher proportion of assisted personnel without the relevant specialist training."
Monica Andriescu: "National education and training systems are not prone to swift changes, such as the sudden relaxation of qualification standards. The key question is rather how to enable quicker procedures of recognition of foreign qualifications, which under normal conditions are often lengthy and complex. As evidenced by the stringent need for health and care workers to support the frontline fight against the Coronavirus throughout Europe, fast and effective procedures of recognising foreign qualifications are more relevant now than at any time in the past, to ensure a steady stream of relevant workforce. These will ensure that professional certificates are recognised in a timely manner and that occupational standards are maintained in destination countries. The pandemic provides an opportunity for relevant authorities and employers to join forces in identifying innovative routes to reform or expedite the recognition of skills, and to pilot these. The key challenge will be to balance speed and quality of processes and outcomes, without lowering standards."
Rainer Münz: "The relaxation of standards in order to hire migrants with professional health and care background during the COVID-19 epidemic is of temporary nature, caused by exceptional circumstances. It will not remain in place after the crisis ends. It can, however, be expected that many of those who have now found a job, will remain in the health and care sector. And we can assume that labour market authorities financing retraining and job integration of unemployed migrants will encourage more people to specialise as care givers or to have their medical degrees recognised." | <urn:uuid:19f0def9-4671-4295-aed4-15a1a3c0e6a5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://martenscentre.eu/news/how-does-corona-crisis-affect-conditions-migrant-workers-eu | 2020-09-24T11:35:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.951876 | 1,641 |

Dryden: Racist responses to COVID‑19 continue to place all of us at greater risk
*This op-ed was originally posted by the Chronicle Herald on September 2, 2020
Black people are living in a moment with multiple public health crises: COVID-19, police brutality and anti-Black racism. Racism impacts our health; racist responses to COVID-19 continue to place all of us at greater risk.
Shortly after the pandemic started to take hold in Canada, we began to see how systemic racism and racist stereotypes were impacting not only the information regarding spread, but also producing stigma around those who contracted and transmitted COVID. In January 2020, I tweeted a caution about how outbreaks become a vehicle for perpetuating racism and racist stereotypes. And unfortunately, we have seen numerous examples of exactly this. One troubling tool that public health agencies in Canada have used to respond to COVID is the use of police to monitor, ticket and incarcerate those suspected of transmitting COVID-19. These actions turn the process of contracting and spreading COVID into criminal acts. They also reveal how some people who contract COVID are thought of as victims, whereas others, sadly, are blamed.
In spring 2020, Alexander McClelland, among others, wrote and spoke about the importance of stepping away from this process of criminalizing COVID-19. The dispatch of police to deal with public health issues follows a disturbing trend and instead, public health and community agencies should respond to breaches of health protocol, instead of giving someone a ticket, instead identify the supports required and then meet those needs.
When police are employed to monitor and manage public health orders, the contracting and spreading of the coronavirus becomes a criminal matter. We learned this from the HIV/AIDS crisis — we have already seen the tragic outcomes when treating HIV transmission as a criminal matter, and Black communities and Black men paid the price.
I believe we are again at this breach: Black communities and Black men will be (and are) criminalized and penalized through COVID-19. And those of us in the Atlantic bubble should be very very concerned.
Black people have been victimized by unfair and criminal policing practices. Black people have been victimized by health disparities and inequities. The data reflects this: Black people are six times more likely to be street checked in Nova Scotia than others; in Toronto Black people are 20 times more likely to die at the hands of police. The early Canadian disaggregated race-based data on COVID-19 identifies racism as a clear risk factor for COVID-19 and yet, Black people are not thought of as victims in need of care and support, but as perpetrators who should be punished, ostracized and incarcerated.
In an April 7th briefing, the Premier and Chief Medical Office scolded residents of Preston township for breaking public health orders and spreading COVID-19. This was the first time we saw a shift in tone: previously, the Chief Medical Officer encouraged people *not* to call the police on their neighbours, but instead to reach out to see if there were any supports needed. Up until this point, the Chief Medical Officer also refused to name communities that had clusters — until one occurred in an African Nova Scotian community.
The Premier and the Chief Medical Officer’s behaviour and language exacerbated longstanding anti-Black racial tensions, further stigmatizing members of the Preston township.
Community meetings and an Open Letter demanded the creation of a culturally responsive pandemic plan. Rather than COVID-19 being the “great equalizer” it was purported to be, the realities of the social determinants of health, specifically racism, mean that Black communities suffered disproportionately through the disease.
The ease with which the Premier and Chief Medical Officer named the Preston township — and the resulting backlash against the community — signals yet again the longstanding active racism in the region. Little thought or kindness was extended to the Preston township. Naming the cluster area only served to call for greater surveillance and more punitive responses. Punishment is not an appropriate public health response — it exacerbates and furthers illness.
In late May 2020 there were two new coronavirus cases in New Brunswick attributed to a Black physician. Premier Higgs revealed that the name of this physician was passed onto the Mounties to determine if charges should be laid. And although the Premier and Registrar of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick claimed they could not speak about the events, they provided enough information that served to identify the doctor. Much like the premier of Nova Scotia, the premier of New Brunswick chose to stoke the fires of fear by calling the not yet publicly named person an “irresponsible individual,” which only served as a call for more intolerance and violence. Once identified, Dr. Ngola became the target of violent racist harassment, including death threats. Publicly considering charging Dr. Ngola is an over-reaction, and reflects how COVID-19 is being used to further criminalize Black people. There have been no calls to charge any other non-Black physicians. The media coverage of this situation further reflected the anti-Black racism embedded in Canadian society: Dr. Ngola was repeatedly identified despite no charges actually being laid, described as being from the Congo and therefore not fully Canadian, had unsubstantiated allegations reproduced and had identifying information about him published. Dr. Ngola hired a private investigator to conduct his own investigation into the claims made against him.
In July, a young Francophone Black man was arrested and charged with violating the Public Health Act in PEI. Javan Mizero Nsangira, 22, an international student from the Congo has been in Canada for two years and is learning English, and now becomes the only person in Canada to be jailed in an alleged violation of COVID-19 protocols. Javan’s case will come to court on September 3. I do not wish to speak about the case here, but I do want to state that this action is excessive. The push for punitive measures often harms those most vulnerable. As a visiting student, what local supports does Javan have that are needed to support self-isolation? And why did the province not provide those supports to Javan? If Javan had broken quarantine, why not find out what supports are needed for him to maintain self-isolation?
And it is important to think about whether this information was shared with Javan in French. Was any of the communication with this young man in French, one of Canada’s two official languages, or was he spoken to in English and expected to clearly convey himself and thoughts in English? Containing the pandemic should never be placed in the hands of policing and police officers. What does jailing Javan accomplish? Why is Javan a perpetrator and not a victim of COVID-19? The incarceration of Javan makes him a target of racism and racist violence, like the Preston Township in Nova Scotia and Dr. Ngola in New Brunswick
As Black people in the Atlantic bubble, we need to be very concerned about these increasing punitive responses to COVID-19, which reflect how anti-Black racism impacts our lives daily.
There are a number of lessons to be learned from these three troubling examples: COVID-19 pandemic information needs to be culturally appropriate; testing should be widespread and accessible; public health — and not law enforcement — should respond to the disease; and Black individuals and communities should absolutely not be placed at further risk by public identification.
Racism is a social determinant of health that has negative impacts on our lives. Anti-Black racism must be accounted for in day-to-day practices of policing and public health. In Canada — and the Atlantic bubble — it is killing us more than any disease.

Dealing with debt can make you feel isolated. There may be a...
6 simple ways you can live within your means
We hear that term a lot, ‘living within our means’, but what does it actually mean? How do we even know what our means are?
The definition of living in your means is ‘spending no more money than one has’. Sounds simple enough, but with the constant temptation to spend at every opportunity, it’s much easier said than done.
There are so many pitfalls too, such as increased living costs, unexpected expenses and friends that don’t really understand what ‘living in your means’ means either.
Here are 6 top tips to manage your money so your money doesn’t manage you!
Begin to budget
Living without a budget is like walking around blindfolded, sooner rather than later you’ll hit a wall. The first step to reining in your spending is to write down your income and outgoings. An easy way of doing this is keeping a daily log of how much you spend.
Now, chances are you’ll be very surprised where your money goes every week. Even little expenses such as a sandwich at lunch or a coffee in the morning creep up on you steadily. It’s very important that you don’t beat yourself up over this. You’re now aware of what you’re spending and can finally take better control of it.
Our anonymous budgeting tool Debt Remedy offers a template you can fill in online. It can send your tailored budget to you so you have a solid starting point.
Don’t let the green eyed monster push you into the red
Spending more on Saturday nights than Prince Harry in Vegas? Breaking the bank to have the very latest mobile phone? Building a budget may be the reality check you need. Don’t worry about keeping up with the Jones’s, as the chances are they’re just trying to keep up with someone else. It’s a vicious cycle and one that you can step off.
If your phone bill is a bit on the weighty side, consider reducing your phone contract or cutting back on download data. Do you honestly get through 2000 texts a month? If so, I’m impressed. You must be popular! (chances are though, like most of us, you don’t.)
Remember how exciting it was as a kid to have a sleepover with your friends? Why not relive that as an adult? Get your friends round for a film and wine night rather than going out. Cook a pizza and have a much needed catch up – no doubt your friends will value this time more than the flashing strobe lights of some expensive club.
Boost your income
Cutting back and keeping to a budget is great. But everyone could do with a boost. Are there ways you can boost your earnings? Billions of pounds of benefits go unclaimed every year. You could be entitled to tax credits or help with your council tax or rent. Our free tool offers an online benefits check.
Want it? Need it? Afford it?
The thing with living on credit is there’s a temptation to buy on impulse. Getting the latest gadget may feel good at the time but when the thrill has faded the bill lives on.
If you see something you want, always ask yourself – do you need it? If I see something I want in a shop, I always walk away from it. If I’m still thinking about it the next day, and it’s in my price range, I might go back. The amount of times I’ve seen something I want and walked away…I’ve saved myself some real impulse buyer’s guilt over time!
If you really want something bad enough but it’s outside your budget, then set yourself a saving target. You can enjoy your shiny new buy without dreading the next credit card statement.
The best, most realistic way to save is to work out what your disposable income is every month after living costs are paid. Then, divide up the cost by the number of paydays you have left. If you can comfortably put half your disposable income aside for it for a couple of months, then you’re on track.
I’d recommend www.futureme.org to email yourself a target half-way through – it could be the boost you need.
So you were on the slippery slope to debtsville. You’ve pulled your socks up, made a budget, cut-back, boosted your income and started to save. You now live within your means. What comes next is the most important…relax and enjoy!
Don’t forget to reward the new you every now and then with a treat – a little of what you fancy does you good! | <urn:uuid:ef677a12-2ca0-49fc-a903-7e92ad4e8dec> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://moneyaware.co.uk/2013/03/6-simple-ways-you-can-live-within-your-means/ | 2020-09-24T11:54:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.948767 | 1,020 |
It took me a long time to get to sleep on Monday night. Not because the Warriors lost, but because I genuinely could not understand what I had witnessed. Even now, at the time of writing, I can’t comprehend what I saw. Has there ever been a poorer performance from a side so talented?
What I feel now is even more confusing. Angry? Disillusioned? Betrayed? That’s not quite it.
Sad? Upset? Lost? Getting closer, but those words still don’t quite describe my emotional state.
I do feel loss of some sort, like something inside of me that existed before kick-off is now no longer there. Is it hope? Maybe, but then it isn’t that drastic, because I know deep down that the hope will always be there, that the hope will never leave. I can’t pinpoint what it is that’s gone — a glimmer, a sparkle, perhaps? Whatever it is, I’d like it to come back soon.
There’s certainly an element of disappointment, of frustration, of heartbreak. Every time it seems like things might turn around, that things might just have clicked, these losses strike like a kick in the guts. This one in particular has left me crumpled and winded on the floor. It feels like emptiness, but how can you be empty when you have a million and one thoughts that fill your head?
I am not alone. The whole of Warrior Nation is hurting. There’s already been a backlash, and it might not be over yet. I wish I had something inspirational to say, a hidden gem of wisdom to explain away the doubt and the disappointment. But I’m afraid I can offer nothing.
What could I possibly say?
What is there to say?
There are simply no words.

- Subway stops delivered to: Bergen St and Carroll St, with plans to expand their delivery area
- Neighborhoods delivered to: Cobble Hill and Carroll Gardens on the west side of Smith St
- Location: 520 Henry St on the corner of Union St
We’ve finally made it, kids. It’s Off the G’s much anticipated second Take Out Tuesday post. Calm down and clean yourselves off, it’s just a blog! Today, I’m talking about take out from Bar Bruno, a Mexican Bistro in Carroll Gardens that could still technically be considered along the G line, but if you’re as lazy as I am, the long trek from the Carroll Stop on Smith St to Henry St, where Bar Bruno is located, is arduous and taxing, especially when it’s cold out. I mean, I guess the weather is nice out at this exact moment in time and you do get rewarded with a delicious meal to refuel your system if you were to visit the physical establishment, but that’s not what this feature is about. So stop nitpicking and just let the take out wash over you.
While their delivery zone is currently not that large, really only covering the west side of Smith St in Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill, it’s still worth ordering if you’re in that area. For starters, because the delivery area is on the smaller side, you don’t have to wait very long for food. After I placed a recent order on Seamless and they estimated it would take an hour, I accepted that challenge head on, knowing full well that sometimes, as much as I love them, Seamless is full of shit. Sure enough, 20 minutes after my initial order, the doorbell rang and there was my food. The Seamless app was still telling me some bullshit about staring into a crystal ball and the food being currently prepared. Get your act together, Seamless. I love you, but COME ON.
I’m the kind of person who likes to sample a little bit of everything off a menu, which is perfect when I’m with more than just myself, but a real punch in the wallet when I’m ordering for one. Browsing the menu when I ordered, I decided on some smaller plates so I could try a little bit of everything while avoiding being evicted because I ran out of money. I decided on an old standby, Ensenada Tacos, or fish tacos for those of us who don’t know what Ensenada is. Which I don’t. Good thing I have a blog where I largely talk about food! I’m clearly very qualified! I also ordered a side of fried plantains and a little dessert, which I’ll get into later. Because I have a sweet tooth and waiting to eat dessert to get my sugar fix was just simply NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, I also ordered a Mexican soda. But not just any Mexican soda. I ordered the lesser known, lemon lime delicacy known simply as “Squirt.”
Nothing quite says “thirst quencher” like a soda called “Squirt.” Despite the fact that I had never heard of Squirt, it did not disappoint, in flavor or name. And since you can’t really order beer or a cocktail to come with your food delivery, Squirt is definitely the next best thing. While I was ready to sample a few dishes and wash them down with my Squirt, I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the delivery bag and found some tortilla chips as well. They do not want their patrons to finish their meals hungry. Either that or they thought my order was for multiple people and a nice way of saying, “Thank you for bringing us to the attention of more than just one person by ordering in pairs,” was to throw in some complimentary chips. Either way, I ate all of them.
Finally, having doubled my weight in Mexican foods and sodas, it was time to keep eating. I bring you now to the dessert potion of my take out from Bar Bruno: churros and chocolate sauce.
I will be totally real with you all and show you how little I knew about other cultures and cuisines in my youth (that has marginally changed as I’ve matured, but only marginally). The first time I ever had churros was at Epcot Center in Disney World. I didn’t even know what I was ordering, I just got nervous and pointed to the first thing I saw on the menu. That game time decision changed me forever. Churros are delicious. And these Bar Bruno churros changed my perception of churros YET AGAIN. Churros with chocolate?! Why have I never done this before?! (Am I on a fast track to diabetes?)
If you’re looking to mix some sweet and savory Mexican flavors together, and you’re in the Carroll Gardens or Cobble Hill area but have been sitting on the couch so long that your flesh has started to grow into the fabric of the couch, might I recommend Bar Bruno. If you are a little more mobile, but just like, “I don’t want to miss my stories on TV,” you can still order from them, I won’t judge. Or you can also just go there and person, and of course-

If you are a legal permanent resident, you are expected to live in the United States. You can still travel abroad and spend extended periods outside the country, but you may need to take steps to establish the trip as a temporary absence.
Absence from the U.S.
Absences of more than 180 consecutive days
At the port of entry after you travel abroad, you may be asked to provide evidence that you have continuing ties to the United States and that you intend to continue living here. Documentation of your ongoing employment in the United States is generally sufficient evidence.
Absences of more than 365 consecutive days
You must apply for a re-entry permit (Form I-131) before you leave the United States, or your permanent residence status will be considered abandoned. A re-entry permit enables you to be abroad for up to two years. Apply for a re-entry permit.
You will also be required to provide evidence that you have continuing ties to the United States and that you intend to continue living here. For example, documentation of your sabbatical and your ongoing employment in the United States is generally sufficient evidence.
Do you need to travel before receiving permanent residence?
If you don’t receive permission to travel before your trip, you might inadvertently cancel your permanent residence application.Follow these steps
Eligibility for U.S. citizenship
Eligibility for U.S. citizenship after permanent residence requires that you live in the United States for five continuous years, or three continuous years if you obtained permanent residence based on marriage to a U.S. citizen. If you are abroad for more than 365 days, this requirement starts over.
Here is an example: You are married to a U.S. citizen, so your requirement is three years. You live here for one year without leaving the country. Then you spend 13 months abroad. When you return, you must live here for three more years before you are eligible to become a U.S. citizen.
Do you have questions about permanent residence?
Our expert staff members will help you understand what you need to do.Contact us
Multiple extended absences
Even if you have a green card, you cannot maintain your permanent resident status if you live outside the United States indefinitely and return only for visits. Extended absences will eventually lead port-of-entry staff to question whether you have abandoned your permanent residence.
You must show that your absence from the United States was only temporary. Definite standards for temporary intent do not exist, but some guidelines can help establish it:
- You file U.S. tax returns as a U.S. resident, rather than as a nonresident.
- You have an active bank account and credit cards in the United States.
- You have a U.S. driver’s license.
- You own real estate in the United States, such as a home.
- You have a letter from your U.S. employer that explains your assignment abroad and says that you have continued or expected employment in the United States. | <urn:uuid:639a8766-6696-4475-b493-16b83f6b6d2c> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://ois.iu.edu/visas/faculty-visas/permanent/absence.html | 2020-09-24T12:40:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.949246 | 626 |

While the platforming is often frustrating, the game's captivating world, art direction, and meaningful choices more than make up for it.
If you can look past the flaws, there's still a rather lovely and charming tale here to explore.
A very interesting adventure game, capable of truly send a vast range of emotions about what we have forgotten . Be ready to deal with a poor implementation of platforming, anyway.

A gorgeous 2D adventure game with light puzzles, platforming and branching narrative choices. Some design decisions slow the pace down negatively, but the story and the reveal of your decisions have devastating impact.
If you're looking for really precise platforming, this probably isn't the game for you. But if you're looking for a narrative adventure with some light puzzle-solving and a lot of eye candy, then you should join Anne on her journey through the Forgotten Realm.
I think that anybody who wouldn't enjoy this game knows who they are. While I wouldn't put Forgotton Anne into the category of an essential for gamers of all types, I would easily recommend playing this game to basically anybody who would give it even a passing interest. It is the type of game that punches way above its weight, and it managed to surprise me. It's available today on PC, Playstation 4, and Xbox One, so if you're still reading this, give it a look. | <urn:uuid:19ff1c00-4ae0-46d1-be10-a2b1b2410723> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://opencritic.com/game/6052/forgotton-anne/reviews | 2020-09-24T10:27:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.955763 | 436 |
I woke up this morning feeling the way I did on September 11, 2001. I was pregnant with my first child as I watched a plane hit the a second tower on the news in New York City.
Tears streamed down my face.
My father was dying of cancer and I was hundreds of miles away. Living in Miami and managing an asset that I had been recruited to work my majic for.
I did not believe in majic therefore was unaware that I had any. All I did know was that I did what I said I was going to do and my professional track record in the housing industry revealed that.
So as I sat huddled in my office surrounded by my staff, I began to weap because for the the first time in my thirty year life, I was feeling the anguish of a mother. Never before had I thought about my decisions as a mother, just a woman and I was one selfish ass, self serving bitch.
There I was, feeling the thunderous yet beautiful kicks of my son and wondering if I should have had that abortion. What kind of world was I bringing a child into?
A different kind of crazy had just flew two planes into buildings in New York City. War had been declared on American soil and I was full on anguish. My God, had I made a mistake? Was some kind of terror aimed for the shores of Miami?
18 years later, I can say with certainty, I did not make a mistake.
The beauty who is my beloved first born, Evan Fitzgerald brings me tremendous joy and he shares that joy with others.
Quite the musician already. I look at him and I am thrilled to be his Ma.
Motherhood changed my life. Evan changed me. I would be a different kind of lost without him and his sister.
But here we are. He was born right after tragedy, and will not experience a traditional prom during his graduating year because we are in a pandemic. I told him the other day that some in his generation will do something extraordinary. These kind of challenges, do not flank the ordinary.
I also was thinking about the state of A M E R I C A and how fragile and dependent we really are. Our medical community was grossly underprepared for this pandemic. They did not and many still do not have appropriate protective gear.
A 5-year-old of two Detroit first responders died of complications from C19 and I know her parents are stricken with doubt and uncertainty. Did their desire to save others put the life of their own child at risk?
That is heavy.
Life in America has changed.
Over 30 million American’s lost their jobs in 30 days. States are on the verge of bankruptcy. Some businesses have closed, never to reopen. Food lines are lanes long. Children have been out of school for over a month, many starving.
Many were only one paycheck away from financial peril, a commute away from identity and a happy hour away from laughter.
Domestic terrorist are on the front steps of capitols demanding that States re-open because they have a god-given right to work and stay at home orders are the equivalent of slavery.
America has lost a great deal & normal is being redefined. What we steal, kill, lie & destroy 2 obtain will rebel. The blanket of prosperity & abundance is being snatched off. People are hungry & medical personnel dont have face masks. We have never been who we said we were. Everhttps://twitter.com/iam_danalena
This Tweet got me to more thinking.
The American White Person who feels that they have a god given right to… are the decendants of those horrid people who felt that God had sanctioned American Slavery.
With every acre of land they stole, they thanked God. After every rape, they thanked God. After every slave auction, they thanked God. After every murdered Native American, they thanked God. After every girl child they made a wife, they thanked God.
After sodomozing and shaming the African man, they thanked God. After raping Africa of every natural precious resource, they thanked God. After every lynching, they thanked God. After every KKK rally, they thank God.
They have shaped the Spirit of Creation into themselves. They have made GOD into a lying, murderous, thieving, rapist!
But most of us know God.
We saw God in Jesus. We saw God in Ghandi. We saw God in Buddha.
We saw God in Theresa. We saw God in King. We saw God in Obama. We know God and we know evil.
The darkness who has disguised himself as light is being exposed.
It is now undeniable.
A M E R I C A is facing her reckoning and quite a reckoning it is. We are being called as a people, as a nation to amend ALL of our wrongs.
Will A M E R I C A do the right thing or will she crash and burn?
Will she give back land? Pay reparations? Open our borders, release kids from cages and throw the cages away?
Will A M E R I C A shut down the prison business, end unfair sentencing and pay more for education than prison sentences? Will her law enforcers stop killing brown people in the name of fear, under the guise of some crime or threat was imminent?
Will A M E R I C A stop marrying children to men and end the nightmare that is sex trafficking for millions of people?
Will she stop groping and harassing women, snatching pussy and pay women the same as men?
Will A M E R I C A mind her own business and stop telling other nations what to do, martying her daughter’s and son’s in the process?
Will she apologize to Mother Africa and her descendants for raping her and mistreating her children and commit to real equality?
Either America will get it right or the Universe will get her right. It looks like the latter is happening.
This won’t be pretty. | <urn:uuid:18d4568f-e674-41b0-aa1d-7b5efa5c64c8> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://penned.xyz/2020/04/26/americas-god-of-theft-rape-lies-and-abuse/ | 2020-09-24T12:43:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.980761 | 1,247 |

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was asked during his Monday press conference if he anticipates both defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau and offensive coordinator Bruce Arians returning for the 2012 season and Tomlin said, “I anticipate it, but of course you know we all understand what the end of the season is about and movement is a part of it in today\’s NFL for both players and coaches. So were are going to work to maintain continuity like we always do. we believe that is a benefit to us, but we also understand that things could happen and we will deal with those things as they arise.”
Tomlin was asked how much say does he give quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in regards to Arians in a decision like that and Tomlin said, “None! You know not from a coaches perspective, not from a staff building perspective. None. Of course just in terms of hearing his opinion from a player/coach relationship, the same amount of say you would give anybody that is in a significant position of contribution for our football team.”
Both LeBeau and Arians are on year-to-year contracts, so anything that Tomlin says today could of course change over the next coming months. Should there indeed be any changes, one would think that they would take place by the time the NFL combine rolls around in late February. Tomlin could anticipate both returning today, but it could easily be trumped by Art Rooney II. The relationship between Roethlisberger and Arians is well documented, and even though Tomlin says Ben has no say in the matter, you have to think he will get his feelings heard as it relates to the status of Arians. | <urn:uuid:a10134ee-a027-484d-b3b6-430965fcab3b> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://steelersdepot.com/2012/01/mike-tomlin-anticipates-dick-lebeau-bruce-arians-returning-in-2012-as-of-right-now/ | 2020-09-24T12:45:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.988757 | 351 |
The Saturday before Mother’s Day, Uncle Bull, Aunt Caycie and Bella invited us to go to Homestead Hollow. Daddy was working so he wasn’t able to go with us. Boy, did he miss out on some serious fun!
Alston decided to dance a jig with the old timey pickin’ band.
He and Isabella really love each other.
The petting zoo was our favorite part. (I definitely enjoyed it
as much as more than Alston did.)
|So stinkin’ cute!|
Later that evening, we went over to Ms. Brooke’s house for a BBQ. We roasted giant marshmallows and got to play with Aunt Stacy. | <urn:uuid:effc3233-26ad-4de1-b4e9-ea7de424f101> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://storiesofthescotts.com/2011/05/22/homestead-hollow/ | 2020-09-24T12:24:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.967265 | 152 |

Liberals just love to pose as morally superior and oh so very high minded people. But sometimes they clearly show the ugly and smugly malicious side underlying liberalism’s true character.
Leftist websites are indulging in a gloatfest over a man in South Dakota who accidentally shot himself in the penis. In a textbook exhibition of schadenfreude (defined as “pleasure derived from someone else’s misfortune”) the liberals have worked themselves up into a state of ecstatic glee at the idea that a Republican gun-owner suffered a catastrophic injury to his genitals. Only people with truly warped minds i.e. typical liberals would find satisfaction is such a tragic episode.
Now, there are some twists in the story. The man is a convicted felon, and he shot himself in the middle of trying to buy a gun illegally. And when police arrived at the scene, he tried to blame the shooting on a black assailant. Let me say straight off that if these facts are true, he should be prosecuted for violating the law. And let me also say, his concocted story of a black assailant may indicate that he’s a racist. And the news stories on the internet do not specify the severity of his injuries. But even so, I see no possible justification for finding pleasure or humor in his misfortune.
I can easily imagine the man was in a state of severe shock and panic, and the black assailant story may have been the first thing that came to his mind. That does not make him a card carrying member of the KKK. And although there are laws against convicted felons purchasing guns, on the scale between jaywalking and premeditated murder, his alleged violation in this case is hardly the most heinous of crimes. And it may be the case (I sincerely hope not) that his genitalia are irreparably damaged. The news story makes no mention of the man’s political affiliation, but liberals jump at conclusions.
Talking Points Memo is a typical left-liberal site that decided this was newsworthy. And there is no doubt from the headline “Convicted Felon Shoots Himself In Penis, Blames It On 'A Black Guy'" what lesson Josh Marshall, TPM’s publisher, wishes his readers to draw. In the comments section every single commenter expresses their immense moral satisfaction. Several make the story an occasion for showing off their wit with what they imagine to be clever limericks.
A racist young man from Dakota
Whose brain weighed not half one iota
Was buying a heater
But blew off his peter
And now his schlong’s lacking its quota.
Other commenters speculate that the man may probably be a Republican, and of course what could be greater poetic justice than a Repug (as many TPM readers like to call Republicans, clever, get it? As in Repugnant) suffering a horrifying injury. And of course gun-owners are in for mockery, with the implicit wish they also suffer some such similar accidental wounding.
It is a shockingly ugly spectacle, but not surprising, not if you know these people. Liberals do tend to have a very nasty streak. In my extremely liberal law school I was an object of unbridled scorn and blind hatred. I recall in a constitutional law class there was a discussion of an old Virginia law providing for involuntary sterilizations for indigent women. I suggested that such laws should be evaluated based on the moral understanding and economic situation of the times they were enacted i.e. during the Great Depression. I added as a footnote that one of my own relatives was one of the last women to have been sterilized before the law was repealed. One of my classmates loudly hissed that “it’s too bad your parents weren’t sterilized.” Somehow not one person present thought that was an inappropriate thing to say to another student. Had I been black, gay, or a Democrat such a comment would have been grounds for expulsion. But as a conservative, I was fair game for abuse and discrimination.
In fact, you can be sure if the news story had specified that the man in South Dakota had been black, gay, or a Democrat, none of these liberals would find any humor in it. They would in fact be appalled that anyone could be depraved enough to laugh at such a terrible thing as another human being suffering from genital mutilation. But that’s how liberal double standards work, in their minds anyone they imagine is conservative isn’t really fully human or deserving of basic human decency. Shame on them. | <urn:uuid:c2245f83-ea08-4bce-afb2-8ae2eb7759e9> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://townhall.com/columnists/marknuckols/2015/09/28/liberals-show-their-ugly-and-malicious-side-n2058013 | 2020-09-24T10:47:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.973492 | 942 |

A common Thanksgiving tradition in my house is for everyone to go around the table and have each person share one thing that they are most thankful for. While we didn’t go around the lunch table here at Aztek, all the teams agreed we have much to be thankful for professionally.
First, of course, are our great partners who give us their complete trust and allow us the freedom to be innovative in the way we implement strategies to help achieve their business objectives. As part of the web marketing team, I am thankful for a number of resources which keep us up-to-date on new techniques and trends along with providing tools that keep us effective and efficient.
Instead of keeping these for ourselves, we thought we would share some of these great tools we use. After all, content is all about sharing valuable information! So grab a turkey leg and dig in!
This handy application gives you a place to collect and manage project to-do lists, notes and any other piece of information you need to keep handy. You can access it via tablet, mobile, website or on your desktop. When an idea hits (like it did for this blog post) I can jot down a few notes, sync it with my accounts and develop the concept later when I have time to think. Notes can be tagged, making them easy to categorize and browse.
A one-stop-shop for news, tools, tips and training for an effective content marketing strategy. The people at Copyblogger are "eating their own dog food" when it comes to content marketing; continually giving out useful information on executing a results-driven inbound web strategy. They cover tons of topics from writing, to email and keyword research. If you are looking ramp up your website's content strategy, create your account and start digging into their many great resources.
- Buyer Personas:
In order for us to help a partner establish an effective content strategy, it is critical that we clearly define who we are speaking to. We use buyer personas to identify common demographic characteristics, needs, pain points, goals and buying habits. This exercise helps us develop content that is interesting, engaging and useful to each group that might be interested in buying from you.
- Moz Analytics:
A marketing analytics tool which helps analyze opportunities to help our partners generate more revenue through their websites. It has a range of tools which help evaluate pages for good content, identify keyword opportunities and alert us to any mentions of your brand-good or bad.
- Google Analytics:
With Google limiting the amount of organic data it provides, this tool has undergone some changes in the last few months. However, there is still useful information on how visitors are interacting and engaging with the site. This data helps us determine what content is valuable and helpful in conversions, or where there is room from improvement.
- Content Marketing World:
The content marketing industry's biggest event, hosted by Content Marketing Institute (another great resource-its the .5 of this list). The best way to describe this event is that is like Disneyland for marketers, with a touch of rock 'n roll excitement (the opening session was at the Rock Hall this past year and I met Rick Springfield the year before...pretty cool.) It brings together all the great strategists, practitioners and latest techniques for learning of epic proportions (did I mention William Shatner was there this year?!). The best part is that you can actually USE the information the speakers share at this conference. With various tracks to cater to a variety of marketers-agencies, small companies, large brands, B2B, B2C, beginner, intermediate and advanced, everyone can leave with an entire Evernote notebook of ideas you can immediately implement to improve the way your company connects with customers.
Wait, what? I admit this one may seem a little unorthodox considering the amount of challenges it has created to marketers this year. Companies now have to truly offer useful, engaging information to visitors as Hummingbird uses content and context together for a better user search experience. Those which simply stuff their websites with meaningless keywords will end up as leftovers to those who add content as the main ingredient in their marketing strategy.
I invite you to explore all of these great resources and try them for yourself. I am thankful for the opportunity to learn about each of our partners businesses and develop programs which establish them as the leaders in their industries. Comment below and let us know what helps you reach your business objectives or what things just make your life a little easier!

“According to preliminary figures, while the total viewership of IPL grew by 40 per cent from around 500 million last year, online viewership more than doubled this year. Streaming the matches live, rather than after a five-minute time lag as Star did last year, must also have worked to its advantage. Interestingly, even TV viewership saw a huge spike of 25 per cent from 400 million last year, probably owing to Star’s aggressive expansion in the south with regional feeds.” (source: business standard)

The Brussels North Police zone wrote up over 26,000 official reports and collected almost €69,000 in fines between June and August this year, but that does not mean that the punishment per offence boils down to roughly €2.65.
Even though on first sight, if they were all fined equally, it seems like the fine for each offence would boil down to roughly €2.65, this is not how it works, according to a police spokesperson.
“How big a fine is, depends on what the infringement is. Among those 26,000 reports, many of them are for speeding, and how high the fine is in that case, depends on how fast the person was driving,” she said.
“When there are several reports for the same person, they are also referred to the police court, which will then decide on the punishment,” she said. This is also the reason why is not yet clear how much those reports will yield in total.
Over the past three months, the police zone carried out 19 major road safety actions, including 14 mobile roadblocks within the framework of specific anti-drunk driving actions.
During these checks, 62 drivers tested positive for alcohol, 13 drivers were in the ‘alarm’ phase for alcohol and 42 drivers tested positive for drugs. The police also withdrew 65 driving licences for a 14-day period. During the summer months, a total of 228 official reports were issued, and 117 licences revoked for drunk driving.
“We draw up the reports based on our findings on the ground, but we are not the ones who are going to decide how much will be paid,” the police said.
Three of these 19 actions were carried out in cooperation with the Customs and Excise Service, which collected a total of €68,409.86 in administrative fines and seized five vehicles.
Additionally, the police zone deployed two operational radar crews to check the speed of 67,613 vehicles, of which 8,947, or 13.23%, were speeding. On top of that, four vehicles were seized administratively because the drivers endangered the physical integrity of other road users.
During those checks, the LIDAR speeding camera and the fixed radars in the zone also checked the speed of 4,168,878 other vehicles, of which 8,489 were found to be speeding. Between June and August, the teams on the site drew up 6,222 official reports for poorly parked vehicles, of which 335 were parked in areas reserved for people with reduced mobility.
Lastly, besides the 14,326 reports for inappropriate speed were issued, 1,191 people were written up for the use of a mobile phone behind the wheel, and 1,007 for non-use of seat belts or badly secured children. | <urn:uuid:0c4e8f5b-0a0e-40cb-bb16-a56f38bab9c7> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.brusselstimes.com/brussels/130429/e69000-in-fines-and-over-26000-reports-in-brussels-north-e2-65-per-offence/ | 2020-09-24T12:05:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.982791 | 571 |
Setting ourselves apart from the vast majority of other law firms, we can also provide notarial services for you through our qualified Notary Public, John Chadaway.
A Notary Public is a member of the oldest branch of the legal profession in the United Kingdom and is a qualified lawyer. A Notary Public is appointed by the Court of Faculties of the Archbishop of Canterbury and are, like solicitors, subject to rules and regulations.
A Notary Public can undertake a wide range of tasks including:
- Authenticating personal documents and information for use abroad (e.g. for immigration or emigration, to apply to get married abroad, to work abroad, to allow educational or professional qualifications or declarations to be recognised abroad).
- Assisting with the authentication of documents required for the purchase or sale of land and property abroad.
- Authenticating Powers of Attorney for use abroad.
- Authenticating business and company documentation and/or information and/or otherwise providing confirmations as to the status of companies or identities of their directors.
Legalisation is the method by which a Notary Public’s signature and seal are authenticated by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and/or relevant Embassy or Consulate so that the work of the Notary Public may be accepted abroad.
A lot of counties require only a single certificate in this respect from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. This certificate is called an Apostille.
In addition to the Apostille, some counties require that a further certificate is obtained from their own Embassy or Consulate.
Some counties (usually those which are, or have been, part of the British Commonwealth or parts of the United States) do not require any form of legalisation.
If you require notarial services, John will discuss what (if any) legalisation you may require along with the costs and timeframes.
Please note that we operate a minimum charge of £150 plus VAT for notarial services.
Our costs are calculated based upon the time incurred at our Notary’s hourly rate of £240 plus VAT.
Please note that there may be additional disbursements that will be charged to you as well, which will be specific to your matter. These could include, without limitation, legalisation/apostille/consular agent costs, translation costs, General Register Office costs and/or travel/parking costs.
Each notarial matter is different, and the requirements will vary according to whether the client is a private individual or a company. Some of the typical key stages are likely to include:
- Receiving and reviewing the documents to be notarised together with any instructions you may have received
- Liaising with your legal advisors or other bodies to obtain the necessary documentation to deal with the document (e.g. information from Companies House or foreign registries, powers of attorney etc)
- Checking the identity, capacity and authority of the person who is to sign the document
- If a document is to be certified, checking with the issuing authorities that the document/award is genuine. In the case of academic awards, this would entail checking with the appropriate academic institutions.
- Meeting with the signatory to verify their identity and to ascertain that they understand what they are signing and that they are doing so of their own free will and ensuring that the document is executed correctly
- Drafting and affixing or endorsing a notarial certificate to the document
- Arranging for the legalisation of the document as appropriate
- Arranging for the storage of copies of all notarised documents in accordance with the requirements of the Notarial Practice Rules 2019
Please note that we are insured under a professional indemnity policy for at least £1,000,000.00.
John Chadaway’s notarial practice is regulated through the Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury:
|The Faculty Office|
|1, The Sanctuary|
|Telephone:||020 7222 5381|
If you are dissatisfied about the service you have received please do not hesitate to contact John.

Our Top Swaps for Plastic Free July
Enjoying the heat? Ok, ok it may be a little too hot out right now but we may be in for a little break this weekend so why not hit the trails in the early morning and then the beach! That’s our plan anyway. Melissa and I are headed out for a well-deserved vacation this week and next and are very excited to hit the Bruce Trail, go kayaking, and eat some good food. While out and about please remember to pack out what you’ve packed in and keep our beautiful planet clean 😊.
In spirit of Plastic Free July and our adventures, we’ve come up with some top swaps for camping, hiking or cottaging for the summer season! These are things we use and do!
Our favourite waste-free snacks for the trails are dried fruit, nuts and trail mix or homemade granola bars. Shown below is a nice blend of our dried fruit including: apricots, cranberries, raisins and mango. Pack them in a Colibri snack bag or rezip for portability. We also like using mason jars to put in a cupholder on the road for easy access to snacking! No time to cut up the dried fruit? Our Santiago trail mix is one of Lisa’s favourites and includes currants, raisins, sunflower seeds, cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, non-hydrogenated canola oil, sunflower oil. Yum!
Homemade granola bars are a super simple way to put some pep in your step for a quick breakfast or on the go. You can find one of our tested recipes here.
Prep meals ahead of time and pack in reusable containers to bring with to reduce waste. Lisa is currently prepping a whole host of amazing meals for her upcoming travels including: spinach, roasted red pepper and egg muffins and orzo pasta salad to name a couple. She likes to plan out her meals by day, write a full grocery list (including what’s already in the pantry) and days for prep to stay organized.
We also have the classic essentials in store for condiments including ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut, olives, seasoning salt, steak spice and more! Our condiments are offered in either bulk, prefilled or prejarred. Did you know? We also carry Beyond Meat patties and sausages in bulk.
Want to pack light? Try our new camping meals from Backcountry Wok! We carry Original Fried Rice, Thai Green Curry, and bibimbap all in backyard compostable bags. Just 1 ½ cups of boiling water, wait 20 minutes and serve! Easy peasy.
One of our must-have items for travelling is a to-go kit for reducing waste on the road or while travelling. Make it super simple with a utensil set, napkins, a straw and a container for leftovers. Put the items in a reusable tote and hang it on your door so you always remember. We like to keep ours in our purse and backpacks or in the car so we are always prepared! You never know when a craving might kick in!
Seen here is our ToGoWare utensil set that comes in four different colours or naked 😉, a bamboo straw (we also have stainless steel and silicone), and a fun Colibri snack bag or Rezip. We also carry loads of other container options including airtight stainless steel containers that can be used on a camp fire or lightweight wheatstraw bento boxes. Adding napkins to kits are also handy for those messier meals!
On a budget? Don’t fret, use what you have! Grab a set of utensils from your drawer and use some crafty folding with a kitchen towel for your napkin. Reuse, reuse, reuse what you have, those takeout containers or yogurt containers are amazing to have on hand and are calling your name!
We love tooth tablets for on-the-go oral care! Our Nelson Naturals tooth tablets come pre-jarred or in bulk. Just crush it in your mouth and brush! They can also be used as a quick mouth wash if there were too many onions in your pasta salad. Pair with a bamboo Brush Naked toothbrush and bamboo travel case and you’re ready to tackle brushing low-waste everywhere and anywhere.
Another great option for low-waste bathroom routines include deodorant and soap. Ditch the plastic and swap to bulk or low-waste options including our bulk deodorant that we both LOVE, or our compostable tube deodorants. We also have a ton of options for bar soap including a local option from Grove Soap Co or many scent options from Crate 61. You can feel good about your choice for the environment and smell good too!
We love love love Unwrapped Life shampoo bars and cannot rave about them enough. They are perfect for taking on the go in a travel case and are lightweight to pop in your toiletry bag and won’t leak! Just make sure you let them drain and dry before storage. What is best about the shampoo bar is it can body as a body bar too reducing the number of things you need to bring. The conditioner bar also works as a shave bar too! What’s not to love?
No, we don’t love doing chores when we travel…or at home really…but you can still be low waste on the go! Bring a local Come Clean dish block and pot scrubber to do dishes at the camp site. The dish block is amazing at cutting grease and leaving dishes squeeky clean. Lisa has made up a tote of camping supplies so that it is ready to go for camping season; it includes plates, silverware, napkins, cooking utensils and more, just pop in your everyday essentials like dish soap and off you go.
You can also refill a travel container of dish soap in store!
Plastic Free July
We started this little idea of our store two years ago on the cusp of Plastic Free July and now has turned into our big dream come true! We love being able to help people find new ways to reduce their waste in the Sarnia-Lambton area and are inspired by the great lakes that surround us. Plastic Free July has special meaning to us as it coincides with our business anniversary and is an important way to get the message out on reducing waste. It can start as a simple swap like switching from plastic water bottles to reusables as it adds up over time. What is one swap you can make today that changes our tomorrow?
Here is the message on what Plastic Free July is all about from its organizers:
Join millions of people reducing their plastic waste.
Plastic Free July is a global movement that helps millions of people be part of the solution to plastic pollution – so we can have cleaner streets, oceans, and beautiful communities. Will you be part of Plastic Free July by choosing to refuse single-use plastics?
Click here to join the challenge! It all starts with you!

The World Health Organization (WHO) noted that harmful alcohol use is the third leading risk factor for premature deaths and disabilities in the world, accounting for approximately 2.5 million deaths worldwide (corresponding to 3.8 percent of all deaths). Addiction can harm our physical and spiritual health and deeply affect those who love us. Alcohol addicts once the stop alcohol, sadness dawns and that too with greater amplitude. The aim of life is not to lose awareness but to live in awareness. To get rid of sorrow, awareness is needed. So people who struggle with dependencies are finding new hope through the Ayurveda and yoga.

The harmful use of alcohol ranks among the top five risk factors for disease, disability and death throughout the world. It is a causal factor in more than 200 disease and injury conditions (as described in Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems. Drinking alcohol is associated with a risk of developing such health problems as alcohol dependence, liver cirrhosis, cancers and injuries. The latest causal relationships suggested by research findings are those between alcohol consumption and incidence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. The World Health Organization (WHO) noted that harmful alcohol use is the third leading risk factor for premature deaths and disabilities in the world, accounting for approximately 2.5 million deaths worldwide (corresponding to 3.8 percent of all deaths). Addiction can harm our physical and mental health and deeply affect those who love us along with it affects to their family, society and in broad it affects the country status. Facts indicate that 80% of the crimes are committed under the influence of addictive substances. Alcohol addicts once the
stop alcohol or reduse the amount leades to withdrawal symptom and sadness dawns with greater amplitude. Addiction is detrimental to an individuals health and severe addiction can be fatal. Substance abuse is a very serious reality and needs concerted efforts on part of individual, family, de-addiction centre and the society as a whole. The focus is therefore on creating more awareness and preventing this menace
There are various treatment method and medicine use to de-addict the patient. A successful episode of treatment and discharge from a short spell in treatment doesnt always equate to sustained long-term recovery. It is merely seen as the stepping stone towards the start of an addicts recovery journey. And this road to recovery can be bumpy: Often cited triggers for relapses include negative mood states such as anxiety and depression, boredom, stressors in day to day life, inadequate coping strategies. This is where yoga has a vital therapeutic role to play i.e. in supporting recovering addicts stay in recovery and not to relapse.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES- To collect discuss and evaluate the roll of yoga in alcohol de-addiction, withdrawal and in rehabilitation.
MATERIAL AND METHOD
The material for this article is taken from personal clinical experiences and various clinical studies published in index journal which is collected from ayush research portal, journal on web, Pubmed along with various website of journals concern with alcohol addiction, withdrawal its manifestation and management. Ayurvedic samhita text of Yoga along with their commentaries and modern medical text referred to develop the paper.
Alcohol-use disorders -Alcohol-use disorders cover a wide range of mental health problems
as recognised within the international disease classification systems (ICD-10, DSM-IV).
These include hazardous and harmful drinking and alcohol dependence
Alcohol dependence-It is a cluster of behavioral, cognitive and physiological factors that typically include a strong desire to drink alcohol and difficulties in controlling its use. Someone who is alcohol-dependent may persist in drinking, despite harmful consequences. They will also
give alcohol a higher priority than other activities and obligations.
Alcohol withdrawal The physical and psychological symptoms that people can experience when they suddenly reduce the amount of alcohol they drink if they have previously been drinking excessively for prolonged periods of time. It include Nausea/Vomiting (Hrillas / Chhardi), Tremors (Kamppa) , Anxiety (Avasada), Agitation (Uddveg), Paroxysmal sweat (Swed) Orientation & clouding of sensorial (Smritibhransh) Tactile disturbances (Sparsh vibhram) Auditory disturbances (Shrota vibhram) Visual disturbances (Drashti vibhram) Headache (Shirasoola) Insomnia (Anindra). These withdrawal symptoms generally begin within 5 to 10 h of decreasing ethanol intake, peak in intensity on day 2 or 3, and improve by day 4 or 5. Anxiety, insomnia, and mild levels of autonomic dysfunction may persist to some degree for more than 6 months as a protracted abstinence syndrome, which may contribute to the tendency to return to drinking
AYURVEDIC ASPECT OF ALCOHOL ADDICTION:
Acharya Charak stated that the substance which becomes homologous by continuous utilization is called Oak satmya (Acquired homologation) . Acharya Chakrapani stated in Ayurveddipika that the Apathya (unwholesome) substance is more about harmless if it becomes homologous due to continuous utilization though it may be poison . Drug addiction is the process in which the person becomes physiologically dependence on that drug due to continuous utilization. Here addicted person also homologous with alcohol. Hence both the process addiction and Satmya are somewhat similar only difference is that satmya have less craving than addiction after withdrawal. Mahrshi Vedavyas has also mentioned in his Mahakavya Bhagvatgeeta that the Sidha purush(Ascetic) are free from all the indulgence but the common people cannot because the perception of substance will remained in the body . Hence the alcohol addicted person will be tried to leave the alcohol but body will give remind to him, that is why he feels craving.
Aacharya Patanjali in second century BC describe Ashtang yoga, having eight limbs which comprised of yamas (ethical disciplines), niya-mas (individual observances), asana (posture), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and samadhi (self-realization or enlightenment). 1 Contrary to popular beliefs and modernization, the ancient practice of yoga involves more than just the asanas (postures) or dhyana (meditation). Thse eight limbs are comprised of ethical principles for living a meaningful and purposeful life; serving as a prescription for moral and ethical conduct and self- discipline, they direct attention toward ones health while acknowledging the spiritual aspects of ones nature.2
Yamas (Ethical Disciplines)- Ahinsa (Non-killing), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing),
Brahmachary(continence), Aparigraha (non-receiving) these five are called Yamah
Niya-Mas (Individual Observances)- Shaucha(Internal and external purification) Santosha (contentment) Tapah (mortification) Svadhyay (study) Ishvarapranidhanan (worship of God) are the Niyamas.
Asana (Posture)- sthirasukham aasanam Posture is that which is firm and pleasant
Pranayama (Breath Control)- Controlling the motion of the exhalation and the inhalation
Pratyahara (Withdrawal Of Senses)- The drawing in of the sense organs is by their giving up their own objects and taking the form of the mind-stuff
Dharana (Concentration)-Dharana is holding the mind on to some particular object.
Dhyana (Meditation)- The Continuous staying in state of Dharana is called as Dhyana.
Samadhi (Self-Realization Or Enlightenment)- when in meditation all forms are given up reflects only the meaning, it is Samadhi.
During the treatment of de- addiction when patient stop alcohol it suffer from withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms subside within a week or 10 days but some are may last for 6 month like Anxiety, insomnia, and mild levels of autonomic dysfunction. After the de-adiction of the patient there may be possibility in future to take alcohol. This Ashtang yoga is wonderfully applied in above condition of alcohol addict patients for improving their mental status, reduce the anxiety, agitation, insomnia, loss of memory, improve body strength, mental strength and so many disorder which is develop due to alcohol addiction and its withdrawal. And also it improve the patient will power to reduce or stop the chance of recurrence of alcohol
Asanas are physical postures which stretch and strengthen different parts of the body, massaging and bringing fresh blood to the internal organs while rejuvenating the nervous sys-tem and lubricating the joints, muscles and ligaments. Some postures relieve constipation and help bowel movement.
Pranayama is known to increase parasympathetic tone, decrease sympathetic tone, improve cardiovascular and respiratory functions, decrease the effects of stress and strain on the body, and improve physical and mental health.34 Pranayam makes patient better, more confident and competent decisions. And with this, comes the ability to deal with stressful situations, knowing that they now have to hand positive ways of dealing with it. This makes them feel happier and more content.
Dhyana (Meditation) is a practice of concentrated focus upon a sound, object, visualization, the breath, movement, or attention itself in order to increase awareness of the present moment, reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance personal and spiritual growth. It helps to Overcoming negative minds and cultivating constructive thoughts.
Niya-Mas are useful for alcoholic patient like Shaucha(Internal and external purification) Svadhyay (study) Ishvarapranidhanan (worship of God) which increase spirituality and give confidence or will power to stop alcohol for whole life and god improve my physical and mental health .
Yoga is a holistic intervention that originated in India several thousand years ago and in its true forms it has immense health benefits. Yogas therapeutic potential in psychiatric conditions such as depression has been studied extensively but their benefit in addictive disorders is yet to be systematically explored. Preliminary findings from studies in the field of yoga and psychiatry indicate changes in neurophysiological, neuroimmunological and neuroimaging measures, thus establishing a scientific basis for yoga treatment5. yoga practice brings balance into the body- at both physical and mental levels. It restores a sense of well-being and gives a patient more energy. There are so many paper or research work had don which prove that meditation, Asana, Pranayam help to reduce insomnia the anxiety, agitation, insomnia, loss of memory, improve body strength, mental strength. . A study done by R. Manocha concludes that the meditation is safe and effective strategy for dealing with stress and depressed mood . A study shows that Anuloma viloma pranayama helps in the reduction of the anxiety and the depression level of the individual and elderly as well.6 Bhastrika pranayama may be established as a non medicinal remedy of insomnia.7 In a clinical trial it is concluded that Exercise and meditation condition significantly reduced alcohol consumption compared to the no-treatment control condition.8 A clinical trial on subjects, who takes bear and wine daily, shows 40 percent of subjects who had meditated for more than 2 years reported discontinuation within the first 6 months. After 25-39 months of meditation, this figure increased to
60 percent. In addition, 54 percent of this group had stopped drinking hard liquor. The authors suggest that meditation could be an effective preventive tool in the area of alcohol abuse.9 Slow breathing type of pranayama for six weeks improves cognition, anxiety and general well- being and increases the parasympathetic activity. 10 Anuloma Viloma Pranayama has shown to reduce stress in chronic alcoholics. Regular Pranayama may thus help in stress management and enhance relaxation skills in alcoholics facilitating recovery.11
Asana (posture), pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (withdrawal of senses), dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation) which are the part of Astang yoga, by practicing this or involved in the treatment of Alcohol Addict patents surely benefit in anxiety, agitation, insomnia, loss of memory, improve body strength, mental strength and so many disorder which is develop due to alcohol addiction and its withdrawal. And also it improve the patient will power to reduce or stop the chance of recurrence of alcohol. In shortAshtang Yoga is Activities stimulate a wide array of addiction recovery themes; it is a techniques to improve the physical, cognitive, emotional, social and leisure needs of their subject.

I love the War College podcasts, which consist of outstanding interviews with key thinkers in the area of security. If you want to understand the current state of affairs in Afghanistan, I highly recommend their podcast, “The Case for Leaving Afghanistan,” which showcases the thoughts of journalist Douglas Wissing. Spoiler alert: the picture is not good. The author of two books on Afghanistan, Wissing argues that our longest military commitment has endured because companies make money from it, while officers make careers. Wissing says that we have spent over a trillion dollars on the war to date, but the Afghan government is losing ground.
In terms of development, the U.S. has spent over $100 billion in Afghanistan, which is more than the U.S. spent on the Marshall plan in Europe after adjusting for inflation. As Wissing notes this is a staggering amount of money for a nation of 30 million people. Worse, he suggests that a significant portion of those development funds were siphoned off to fund the Taliban itself. He argues that the projects that the U.S. has funded have been divorced from Afghan reality, and unsustainable for that reason. The entire history has been a textbook lesson in how not to do development, he suggests, in part because policy has been driven by the personal, career and institutional needs of those people dispersing the funds.
An entire generation of U.S. soldiers have fought in Afghanistan since 2001. Most years I have had one or two veterans in
each of my classes, especially my larger “Introduction to International Studies” course. They tend to be a little older than most of my students, and they usually keep to themselves. I would say that overall they are usually cynical about both their government and their experience. I’ve never heard one of them speak to justify the war. I also think that they are somewhat alienated from their classmates, so they may not be sharing their true views, especially in a liberal city such as Portland. One veteran told my colleague that he didn’t think that the classroom was a safe place for him to talk. She was struck that he fought in a war, and didn’t find her classroom to be a safe space. So it’s hard to know what these veterans in my classes truly think. Still, my impression that with regard to their government and the reasons for war at least as pessimistically as their classmates, and perhaps more so. Ironically, this may be one of the things that they have in common with their peers.
At the same time, I think that Wissing is correct that this is not a burning issue for most people in the United States. Even in my classes when my students are discussing security and foreign policy, they tend not to spend a lot time on the conflict. It’s fought by professional soldiers not conscripts. This fact has made it a very different conflict than Vietnam, in terms of how it has affected civilians’ lives. While my students oppose the war, they also aren’t out in the streets protesting it. They appear to more interested in Snowden and Wikileaks than events in Kandahar.
It’s hard to see this war ending well. As Wissing says, the Taliban is making headway, the Afghan government is corrupt, and there is no evidence that another surge could fundamentally change the dynamic of the war. Still, as the Taliban strengthens, there are calls in Washington to send more troops. Everyone weighing this issue should first listen to this podcast.
It is truly remarkable that in a sixteen year conflict with one of poorest nations on the planet, the wealthiest nation on the earth was unable to prevail. This is true despite the fact that Afghanistan had already been exhausted by a lengthy war with the Soviet Union, while the United States has spent far more on its military during this period than any other nation on the planet, by a wide margin. When I read articles in military journals about counter-insurgency strategy they all seem to me to have an air of unreality about them, because they don’t adequately acknowledge that the Afghan war has been an utter debacle. In this context, discussing counter-insurgency (COIN) strategies is rather like packing snowballs onto melting glaciers.
I wonder if Spanish thinkers felt the same about the 80 years war, given the immense human and financial costs of trying to hold onto the Netherlands. Did they hear Spain’s military leaders argue that a surge was needed to protect all that they’d fought for? Did they worry that the government was basing its decisions on sunk costs? Did they fear that Spain’s immense wealth from the American colonies had blinded its leaders to strategic reality? And when Spanish soldiers returned from the Netherlands, were they quiet and alienated and cynical?

§56.5 Limitation of Actions
The Case: Leggett v. Dorris , No. M2008-00363-COA-R3-CV, 2009 WL 302290 (Tenn. Ct. App. Feb. 6, 2009).
The Basic Facts: This is a nuisance action in which the defendants moved for summary judgment "on the ground that the suit was barred by the statute of limitations." 2009 WL 302290 at *1. The trial court granted the motion and the plaintiff appealed.
The Bottom Line:
- "A proper classification of the nuisance, either temporary or permanent, must be made in order to analyze a statute of limitations defense. A nuisance claim, because it is an action for an injury to personal or real property, is governed by a three year statute of limitations. Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-31-05. When the nuisance is temporary, however, "the very continuation of the nuisance is a new offense entitling complainants' to recover damages accruing within the statutory period next preceding, although more than the statutory period has elapsed since the creation of the nuisance."Kind v. Johnson City, 478 S.W.2d 63, 66 (Tenn. Ct. App. 1970) (citing Caldwell, 319 S.W.2d at 11)); see also, Anderson v. Am. Limestone Co., 168 S.W.3d 757, 761 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2004). When the nuisance is permanent, "the statute of limitations commences to run from the time of the creation of the nuisance." Anderson, 168 S.W.3d at 761 (citing Robertson, 339 S.W.2d at 9)." Id. at *3.
Recent Cases: Large v. Greene County , No. E2008-02764-COA-R3-CV, 2009 WL 5083482 (Tenn. Ct. App. Dec. 28, 2009) (upholding dismissal on statute of limitations finding claim was for inverse condemnation rather than nuisance). | <urn:uuid:d50c3cbf-b8b6-440f-8da6-2b6a9fb9a9bd> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.johndaylegal.com/56-5-limitation-of-actions.html | 2020-09-24T11:23:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.875018 | 430 |

Mil Bothy is set above a cove at Quidinish, overlooking Loch Finsbay, on the east coast of the Isle of Harris. Fine sea views, tranquility, nature and wildlife await you.
Mil Bothy is a perfect getaway for two, on the beautiful coastline of the Bays of Harris. So close to the sea, you can watch wildlife go by. Ideally suited for starting walks straight from the door, or join the road and cycle round the island. The isolated situation and cosiness of the cottage makes it the perfect retreat and the start of discovering nature at its best.
"Mil Bothy and its stunning location has to be the best accommodation that we have had the privilege to stay in of all our holidays in the North. We have been so comfortable, just relaxing
and watching the wildlife from these wonderful picture windows." Annie & Ron, Godalming
Wildlife and Nature
A rich diversity of wildlife inhabits the island. Sea birds,
raptors, waders, plus seals and otters and more...
"From the cottage we have seen the sea eagle, a seal, and sea trout jumping." Claire & Chris, Hemel Hempstead
“This has been the most delightful spot for our holiday. We could not have chosen better.” S and C W., Dumfries

I have an old fashioned chocolate upside down cake recipe for you to enjoy. Old as the hills, this "floating brownie" is so moist - a real keeper.
Impress your family and friends with this beauty. If you are a chocolate lover, this will be nirvana...
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 TBS butter, melted
1 cup flour
1 tsp homemade pure vanilla extract
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 inch cake pan; set aside.
Cream sugar and butter together for 2 to 3 minutes. Add milk and dry ingredients alternately. Add vanilla and pour into the prepared cake pan.
Now mix together:
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup homemade brown sugar, packed
3 TBS cocoa
Mix together and sprinkle over cake batter. Pour 1 cup of cold water over all. DO NOT STIR. Bake for 45 minutes. You may serve with homemade whipped cream or homemade vanilla ice cream. But I have my favorite below...
Chocolate Flavored Whipped Cream
Using fine quality chocolate (not cocoa powder), gives chocolate whipped cream the perfect texture and depth of flavor - making it almost a dessert itself. The chocolate/cream mixture needs at least 4 hours (24 hours is better) before it is whipped.
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups heavy cream
2 to 3 TBS white sugar or to taste
Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl large enough to use for whipped cream. Stir the cream and sugar together in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the cram over the chocolate.
While whisking, beat the chocolate and cram together vigorously because you want to make sure you’ve got a smooth mixture. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (24 hours is better), and cover the cream once it is cool to protect it from foods with strong odors.
If you have chilled it for only 4 hours, you may want to beat it
in a ice-water bath; set the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice cubes
and water. With a whisk, beat the cream until it is almost thick and
this will happen quickly.
You want the cream to be just firm enough to spread but not so firm that is loses its lightness and creaminess. This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one day. Once it's whipped, it can be covered and chilled for 3 hours. I have more than just a chocolate upside down cake recipe, please check out more homemade desserts below.

Affirmation is the oldest organization specifically for LGBT Mormons. Affirmation came into being because of the conflict LGBT Mormons experienced between what they were being told about gender and same-sex attraction by Church leaders, and what they actually experienced.
I’ve read the founding documents of Affirmation, dating back to 1977-78, and I was surprised to find profound expressions of faith, testimonies of the Church, and trust that God would guide us individually and collectively toward greater understanding of the issues Affirmation’s founders wrestled with. That naive faith was put to the test as early leaders of the organization reached out to Church leaders and were harshly rebuffed.
In the years since, Affirmation acquired an unsavory reputation among the majority of Church members and leaders. Much of that reputation was the undeserved product of homophobia within LDS circles. Most Mormons in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s assumed that homosexuality was a choice and a sin, and that you could not be gay and Mormon. At best, you were Mormon and “struggling” with the “affliction” of “same-sex attraction,” which was assumed to be, in a best case scenario, something on a par with a genetic predisposition toward alcoholism. So an organization for gay Mormons was considered a contradiction in terms by faithful and non-faithful alike. In the late 1980s, Evergreen emerged as a rival organization that claimed, with the blessing of Church leaders, that change of sexual orientation was possible. Evergreen represented a primitive attempt to offer a faithful path forward for gay Mormons, though the premises of Evergreen still begged the same questions that created Affirmation in the first place.
Gay Mormons experienced extreme rejection during these decades. Most had desperately tried to “overcome” their homosexuality without success, often willingly subjecting themselves to extreme “aversion therapies.” The accounts of these efforts at BYU are blood-chilling, like a horror novel. Gay Mormons tried to change and when that didn’t work, they tried telling their stories to family, friends and leaders in the Church, only to be told that their failure was due to a lack of faith on their part. Church leaders frequently urged gay individuals to “just get married” to straight spouses, far too often without the knowledge of the straight spouse. The Church reaped a harvest of heartache and broken marriages. Individuals who had offered lives of service were harshly ostracized and excommunicated. Children were disowned by their parents. The Church reaped a harvest of gay suicides.
Gay Mormons became understandably angry and frustrated with the Church. For many, the Church became “the enemy.” Thus, Affirmation acquired a deserved reputation as an organization for “angry ex-Mormons.” A handful of Mormon allies — like Wayne and Ron Schow, Bob Rees, Carol Lynn Pearson, Gary and Millie Watts, and Bill and Marge Bradshaw — understood what was going on, and stood by Affirmation. They understood where the anger came from, and they insisted that members of Affirmation deserved empathy, not condemnation.
Nevertheless, a polarized environment emerged. I’ve said elsewhere that in many ways Affirmation became the Gay ex-Mormon organization, while Evergreen became the ex-Gay Mormon organization. That would be a tad too simplistic. Evergreen did actually — intentionally or unintentionally — help many gay Mormons find a less stigmatic approach to their sexuality. Affirmation did actually — intentionally or unintentionally — help keep alive gay Mormons’ connection to the Church, however tenuous that connection might remain. But like in all stereotypes or generalizations, there was a kernel of truth in the notion of a bifurcation among gay Mormons between being gay and being Mormon. We were forced to choose, and we paid a painful price no matter what our choice was.
That was the scene I discovered when I turned to Affirmation in September 2005 seeking an organization that might support me as a gay man in my journey back to faith and back to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I found that Affirmation could not really help me much in that path at that time. But that was then.
There are ways in which Affirmation always got it right.
Affirmation never tried to be a substitute for the Church. There was no Affirmation “doctrine.” Affirmation never officially opposed or supported Church teachings, nor did it consider it Affirmation’s place to say what Church doctrine was.
Affirmation never tried to tell gay Mormons precisely how they were supposed to reconcile being gay and being Mormon. It never tried to tell them that they were supposed to reconcile anything at all. Affirmation never required its members to pass any tests of orthodox belief or behavior. But it did provide a space where you could claim both your gayness and your faith as a Latter-day Saint, and work out your own salvation.
Affirmation was about letting people be real, not trying to conform people to a particular mold of what was considered faithful. Affirmation was always a place where you could tell your story as a gay Mormon and be heard.
But by the 1980s and 1990s, Affirmation members by and large had lost the faith that had originally motivated Affirmation’s founders. Every generation of gay Mormons, it seems, begins with the naive faith that prompted the formation of Affirmation. As Affirmation became more alienated from that faith, it became difficult for subsequent generations of gay Mormons to connect with Affirmation.
But in the first decade of the new millennium, imperceptible shifts laid the groundwork for a significant evolution in Affirmation.
For one thing, there was an older generation of gay Mormons (like myself) who had experienced the shattering pain and disillusionment and loss so many of us experienced in the 1980s and 1990s, who had drifted away from the Church, or who had remained at the margins of the Church, who were finding our faith rekindled and who were coming back, and who were discovering — to our amazement — that we were not unwelcome. We were connecting with the Church, though there were still enough challenges related to making that connection that we wanted support, and Affirmation seemed a logical organization to turn to.
There was also a younger generation of Mormons who were coming out and who were not experiencing the extreme forms of misunderstanding and rejection that earlier generations had been subjected to. They were finding it easier to manage their relationship with the Church, though that relationship was still fraught with a lot of the old baggage. And there was still the challenge of how to come to terms with the yearning for intimate relationship and for family that the Church supported for heterosexual couples but opposed for gay couples. The younger generation didn’t necessarily experience the intense rejection, but they smarted from their sense that Church policies were profoundly unfair and inhumane.
In recent years, starting with the Affirmation annual conference held in Kirtland, Ohio in 2011, there has been a visible, demonstrable resurgence of expressions of LDS faith within the organization. We saw a growth and a deepening of these expressions at the Seattle conference in 2012, which I felt I could only describe as a “A Gay Mormon Revival.” At the end of 2012, Randall Thacker was elected president of Affirmation running on a platform of affirming that we can be “both gay and Mormon.”
While Affirmation is what it always has been — a “big tent” that seeks to provide framework for LGBTQ/SSA Mormons to find their own answers to the big questions that confront us in relation to faith and sexuality, and that does not prescribe any one particular answer for anyone — Affirmation has very much returned to its roots, its founding conviction that the faith and the Church restored through Joseph Smith is big enough for all of us. We all can find the answers we need through faith, perseverance, hope, patience, kindness and love. As a Church, as a nation, and as citizens of creation, we can unconditionally love one another and care for one another. LGBT Saints can participate in the building of Zion for all of us, LGBT and straight.
We are excited to be seeing unprecedented levels of excitement about and participation in the preparation for the upcoming Affirmation conference in Salt Lake City, September 12-15, 2013. We have seen a tremendous influx of new members and energy, including individuals who are active in the Church, “millennial” generation LGBTQ LDS, and straight family, friends and allies.
We are very excited to be able to present as speakers Barb and Steve Young, Daniel Parkinson, Carol Lynn Pearson, Judy Finch, Wendy Williams and Thomas Montgomery, and Robin Linkhart (of the Community of Christ). As in Kirtland and Seattle, Affirmation will be graced by devotional performances by the Affirmation choir, and will hold a devotional and a testimony meeting (that have always been the highpoint of the conference for me). There will also be an array of workshops that explore in deeper ways what it means to LGBTQ and Mormon.
We exclude no one based on Church membership status or belief or relationship status or yearning. Affirmation is the one LGBTQ/SSA Mormon organization that is open to all.
If you feel you have been burned by the Church and no longer desire to affiliate with it, but still feel you would benefit from connecting with others of LDS heritage, come! You will be loved and welcomed among us and you will find fun and dynamic social events where you can make connections and find a fantastic community of support!
If you are LGBTQ/SSA and have a testimony of the Gospel and the Church and want to work through the challenges that represents, come! There is a growing community of active LGBTQ Latter-day Saints who are learning and growing by practicing principles of the Gospel. We don’t necessarily have answers for you, but we are more than willing to ask and wrestle with questions together.
If you are a straight Latter-day Saint and want to become a better supporter of your LGBT/SSA family members, ward members or friends, come! Come learn more about the struggles and challenges, knowing that your faith and kindness and willingness to be an ally will make a concrete difference to real people and do some good in this world today. | <urn:uuid:ca057fa4-970b-4dad-80ea-67fc2737e5ae> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.nomorestrangers.org/the-evolution-of-affirmation-what-it-means-for-the-church-and-what-it-means-for-gay-mormons-and-their-allies/ | 2020-09-24T12:38:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.978611 | 2,127 |
Will you give my dog lots of love?
How do we help a dog to stop reacting out of fear? We don't do that by giving the dog lots of affection. We don't get there by letting the dog do whatever he wants whenever he wants to. In our human world, we value freedom and love and many of us often think those are the answer to our problems. In the animal world, it is not always so. A dog is not a human. A dog does not understand our language and he does not share all our common social values. Much of what we feel as the best solution makes no sense to our dogs. To help a dog with anxiety, we need to exercise discipline ourselves. Giving an anxious dog too much freedom too soon is counterproductive because it places the burden of making decisions that the dog is not equip to make on his shoulder when all he really needs and wants is to be told what to do so he can relax. Giving a dog lots of unearned affection will not make a dog feel safe. As a matter of fact, in lots of cases, this over pampering life style weakens the dog's ability to handle real world situations. Many such dogs are not robust and confident enough to cope in the real world because they have never been shown how. When they face a stressful situation, they don't have the tool to respond properly; they only know how to go back to their basic instinct and resort back to growling and barking. When we give our dogs lots of "love" with very little or no structure, we are doing a disservice to our dogs. They become like spoiled and over protected children who cannot function properly in the real world without their parents. We see lots of seperation anxiety, pushiness, entitlement, and a total lack of respect from these dogs. These dogs are usually very anxious, reactive, and out of control. They are not balanced nor content. It is not a good situation for the dog, the owner, nor the public. It makes us feel good to lavish a dog with nothing but affection and freedom but we need to stop being selfish and restrain ourselves. We need to do what is best for our dogs. If the dog is happy, he should not have all these behavioural issues. These issues are symptoms of an imbalance. These are signs that they are lacking something in their life - Something they really need that they do not have, which makes them frustrated and uncomfortable. We need to give our dogs direction and protection. We need to offer them important guidance and information via structure, so they can regain their emotional, psychological, and mental balance. A dog who is anxious really needs a figure of strength in his life. A dog that feels lost really needs a figure of guidance. A dog who always feels nervous really needs a source of calmness. We can be that figure by being their leader. We can calm them down and help them to become balanced and content when we show them leadership. That is why we need structure. Leadership is not just about hugs and kisses. It is not about massive affection. Leadership is about showing a dog he can trust and respect us, which is achieved by being fair, clear, consistent, and do things that make sense to the dog. When what we do makes sense to our dogs, our dogs will respond in a balanced and content manner. We don't need to keep yelling at our dogs. They will know what to do because once we make sense to our dogs, we will understand each other on a primal level.
If you love your dog, please learn to speak his language so you will make sense to him.

Meet Ross Markwardt, he has a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy and was told there are risks associated with building strength and muscle. When he began training in January of 2013, he had very poor posture which negatively affected his gait pattern. He also had been lifting weights at another facility that were far too heavy via gross compensations and resulted in a badly impinged shoulder.
His trainer started slowly, working on soft tissue release and gait retraining. He said, “I feel weaker since I’ve been working with you” She knew it was impossible to lose strength in only 4 sessions. Still, she feared losing him so she appealed to Ross’s sharp intellect. She sent him journal articles and videos that confirmed her philosophy and methodology. Once Ross had a better understanding of what they were trying to accomplish, he decided to put forth his best effort. For Ross, that’s easier said than done.
Growing up as the “weak kid” and believing that there wasn’t anything he could do about it; exercise had never been the highlight of his day. To bolster his self confidence, he decided to dress the part. Ross has an unequaled wardrobe of flashy workout attire and clever t-shirts that brings the studio to a standstill each time he walks in.
To date, Ross has more than doubled the weight he can do on the lat pull down and leg press with good form. His posture and gait have dramatically improved and he reports feeling more confident in his day to day activities as well as when he travels. Ross’s whole demeanor has brightened and he is much surer of himself. He says he will continue to dress sharply though, to bring smiles to anyone else that is currently struggling as he used to.
Ross, we are so proud of your many successes and more so because none of it has been easy. It is an absolute joy to watch your hard work pay off! | <urn:uuid:75834c09-8b85-4c2f-ba1a-c8668de0f363> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.puschitpersonaltraining.biz/ross | 2020-09-24T10:47:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600400217623.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200924100829-20200924130829-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.99091 | 403 |
