We need the ability to relink unlinked files directly from the Edit window.
There is no menu to open directly the relink window, the only way to open it is to find unlinked file in the workspace window and then to activate the relink function. It is long and boaring
I want to relink missing files directly from the edit menu, by a function on the dropdown menu.
Or i need an item in the window menu to open the link windows.

LEAVING THE E.U. WOULD BE FOOLHARDY FOR BRITAIN
By: Harry C. Blaney III
The following appeared as a letter to the editor in the Washington Post on May 27, 2016
Regarding Chris Grayling’s May 24 op-ed, “Obama is wrong to tell Britain to stay in the E.U.”:
I studied and lived in Britain before and during its membership in the European Union. Its membership in the E.U. and NATO has enhanced its power and prosperity, allowing it to, as the Brits say, “punch above its weight” on the world stage.
Mr. Grayling did not mention that study after study indicates that the impact on Britain’s long-term economy would be severe, diminishing the nation’s regional and global influence.
The United States, a true friend to Britain and Europe, should not stand silent on seeing a friend self-destruct and weaken its economy and security by exiting a united and cooperative Europe on which the United States depends to address together a host of global dangers. What friend would stand silent if a friend were about to make a decision to self-implode and isolate himself from common bonds of union and friendship going back centuries?
It was sad to see Mr. Grayling, the leader of Britain’s House of Commons, take up the cry of the far-right isolationists and to be so wrong about the U.S. assessment of the implication of Britain’s foolhardy choice and what it will mean for our relationship. | <urn:uuid:f03a8788-afd7-4018-9fa2-8d8c7e6deb41> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://rethinkingnationalsecurity.com/2016/05/31/leaving-the-e-u-would-be-foolhardy-for-britain/ | 2020-10-01T08:01:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.959392 | 330 |
Our verdict: 4/5
Matched betting is definitely a viable way of making an income online. However, it does require a small starting investment and passive income is limited. Saying that with only an hour a day making £500-1000 per month shouldn’t be a problem. Please see our recommend matched betting provider here: Oddsmonkey Review
Matched Betting Review
You don’t need sports knowledge to be a matched betting pro!
Matched betting—a simple, tax-free, and completely legal way of earning easy money, so they say. Anyone can learn how to do it, and there’s close to zero risks involved since you’re covering yourself by betting for and against the same event. But if it’s that quick and easy, why isn’t everyone doing it?
One of the most common reasons to why most people are hesitant to try is that it simply sounds too good to be true. Imagine earning about £15 in 20 minutes without doing much—that’s more than most people’s hourly wages, so it must be a scam, right? The truth is, it isn’t. In fact, no one asks anyone to pay before getting started. If you’re a bit hesitant to betting, you can always sign up for a free trial to calm your nerves and to decide if it is or isn’t worth it.Sign Up For A Risk Free Trial Here
While the concept of matched betting may be foreign to some, it is true that it can be difficult to get your head around it especially when you’re a newbie. It’s easy to get lost in all the terminologies involved, and it’s even easier to get lost when you don’t know where to start. Don’t worry, you don’t have to know all the betting terminologies and you don’t have to be good at sports to get started.
Anyone can learn matched betting, and anyone can make a living out of it. Simply follow your first bet, bet using the free bet the bookmaker gives you, lay the bet, and repeat the process.
To maximize your income from matched betting, maintaining a good schedule for looking for offers and placing bets is important. Mornings and afternoons can be allotted for placing tennis or horse racing bets, while evenings can be spent placing football bets. It’s important to map your days out in advance to avoid confusion between games and to be more efficient in finding, placing, and tracking bets.

If you’re still hesitant about betting, here are a few matched betting reviews and benefits:
Matched betting is great for those in tight situations. Whether you’re a student paying off rent or some loans, or an adult in a low-paying job, you can always turn to matched betting for a stable source of income. You can easily fit it around your schedule and commitments and earn about £500 per month tax-free, if you allot at least an hour of your time daily.
You won’t need much to get started, and you can even avail of a free trial depending on the site you use. Most sites charge at most £15/£20 to get started, and you can build your profits as you go.
You can work in the comforts of your home or anywhere you please. Work can be done on your laptop or your mobile, and you get to decide when you want to work or take a break.
You’ll always make money, regardless of how much you know about sports. It’s just a game of numbers, with the websites doing the calculations for you. You’ll be able to focus and have more time for other things while working and earn money while you’re at it.
While matched betting isn’t for everyone, it’s a sure way to easily boost your income. The key to making money out of betting is simply allotting time for it. By setting at least an hour of your time daily, you’ll be able to earn much more than what you’d normally earn in a month. Understand the basics and you’ll surely be earning much in no time.

It’s unbelievable but I have never tried watercolor painting. Not even in my childhood when watercolor paints were only available in extremely sad and poorly stocked stationery shops 😁
I never loved anything I could get easily 😁
However, I’m in a different mood now which I call ‘let’s try everything mood’. So I bought some watercolor paints, a super lovely sketchbook with an adorable little bear illustration on the cover and began my first watercolor experience.
This is what I painted first 🙂
It was an interesting and pleasant experience but I can’t say it’s my new favorite medium. Oils, acrylic and chalk pastels are still my top 3 all time faves ❤️
P.S. I’m in LOVE with my adorable bear sketchbook! ❤️❤️❤️ | <urn:uuid:9cb4f39f-072c-4d95-9d66-bcc002c3a430> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://shorenaratiani.com/tag/creativity/ | 2020-10-01T08:32:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.943984 | 184 |
Matt Berninger of The National has announced the upcoming release of his debut solo album, entitled Serpentine Prison.
A first taste of it comes to us in the form of the title track, the video for which you can watch down this page.
The long-player is set for release on October 2 – so plenty of time to save those shekels – and if you’re not excited enough by the prospect of hearing Matt’s voice on a collection of new tunes, maybe the fact that music legend Booker T Jones produced the record will get you keen?
Jones and Berninger have formed their own imprint – Book Records – on which to release the album.
Serpentine Prison was penned back in December 2018, about a week after recording The National’s I Am Easy to Find. Says Berninger: “For a long time I had been writing songs for movies and musicals and other projects where I needed to get inside someone else’s head and convey another person’s feelings. I liked doing that but I was ready to dig back into my own garbage and this was the first thing that came out. The title is from a twisting sewer pipe that drains into the ocean near LAX. There’s a cage on the pipe to keep people from climbing out to sea. I worked on the song with Sean O’Brien and Harrison Whitford and recorded it about six months later with Booker T. Jones producing. It feels like an epilogue so I named the record after it and put it last.”
A bunch of familiar-to-many names will feature on the album, including Matt Barrick, Andrew Bird, Mike Brewer, Hayden Desser, Scott Devendorf, Gail Ann Dorsey, Teddy Jones, Brent Knopf, Ben Lanz, Walter Martin, Sean O’Brien, Mickey Raphael, Kyle Resnick, Matt Sheehy and Harrison Whitford. | <urn:uuid:8baf16a0-6ff3-44bb-bedf-128f8332325f> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://stack.com.au/music/music-news/the-national-frontman-goes-it-alone/ | 2020-10-01T06:32:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.953948 | 403 |
Yesterday, it was announced that Rian Johnson is returning to the Star Wars universe to create a brand new trilogy! And if that’s not exciting enough, there was a report from Variety that Lucasfilm will also develop a live-action Star Wars TV show that will air on Disney’s streaming service that will launch in 2019!
Many people have wanted a live-action TV show for Star Wars, and it made perfect sense to do something with Netflix like Marvel has done – until, that is, Disney announced plans for their own streaming service. Once that happened, it seemed logical that Lucasfilm might put a show on that service, and it seems that’s what is going to happen.
It will be interesting to see whether this is the only TV show that Lucasfilm launches moving forward, as they are wrapping up Star Wars Rebels this season. If they’re not going to be exploring further animated series for the time being, it would be cool if they could get Dave Filoni involved somehow, perhaps with this new project.
We don’t really have any details for this yet, although it seems like it might launch in 2019 with Disney’s service. But as for content, there’s really nothing yet. I’ve long speculated that it would make a ton of sense to do an Old Republic live action TV show, but if that’s the time period that Rian Johnson will be exploring with his trilogy then things might get tricky. They could do it, but it’d make it a bit more interesting. So we don’t really know what this live action series would be. Remember, George Lucas had ideas for a live-action TV show called Star Wars: Underworld that would have been set in-between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, so it’s possible Lucasfilm could decide to pick up on some of those ideas and go that direction too.
Either way, I’m pumped that it looks like we’ll be getting a live-action TV show along with Johnson’s new trilogy, plus likely more standalone films moving forward too post Episode IX. It’s an exciting time to be a Star Wars fan! | <urn:uuid:92b85433-8d4d-4ad9-af9d-1841213cd9e2> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://starwarsthoughts.com/2017/11/10/star-wars-live-action-tv-series-coming-in-2019/ | 2020-10-01T06:28:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.963711 | 458 |
Allow me to venture into a slightly un-politically correct analogy. Back, many years ago, when I was just a child there was a children’s song with a colorful and history: “Ten Little Indians” whose original title was: “Ten Little Injuns”. I have often used the phrase “10 little idiots” to describe my fingers. I complete the analogy with the idea that the 10 little idiots were controlled by the Chief Idiot. As I have worked my way through the rehabilitation of my left hand I am seeing the legitimacy of this idea. The initial surgery was followed by a very difficult staph infection which necessitated two additional operations. My left hand was in pretty bad shape when I began my occupational therapy. It wasn’t until about 5 weeks after the surgery before I began to tentatively play the piano again. I had about 40% range of motion in my fingers and probably about 30% in my thumb. In terms of strength my guess is my left hand was 20% of my right hand.
After a few days of 15 – 30 minutes of playing I had be able to move my hand enough to play Bach’s inventions and simple Haydn Sonatas. Once I felt comfortable enough with the physical act of playing (learning where the limits of range of motion were mostly and what motions were painful) I began to turn my attention to musical expression. To my great joy I found that even with this sad excuse of a hand I had no difficulty in doing whatever I wanted to do expressively. Granted speed was and is still limited (but getting better every day) my ability to express music did not reside in my little idiots, it was all up to the chief.
You don’t have to train the fingers; you have to train your mind.
The ability to imagine YOUR fingers, wrists, and arms doing something is the critical issue. Just because you heard someone else play something means nothing if you cannot imagine your own fingers doing the same thing.
I have found one of the best exercises to learn chord voicing is to split the chord between the hands. Play the important note in the right hand and everything else in the left. Work at it until you have the color you want and listen very carefully to the dynamic level of each note. Now repeat the chord with just one hand. Now that you have heard your hands playing the balance you wanted, even though it took two hands, you will arrive at needed physical solution to your musical dilemma. It wasn’t because you drilled your hands into submission, but rather you taught yourself the proper amounts of weight to put into each note and even though the lesson was taught with two hands, it provides enough information to make a one handed effort much more successful. | <urn:uuid:4ee6cd82-a118-4060-9b79-a75c581c0479> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.andrewremillard.com/2013/06/21/the-ten-little-idiots/ | 2020-10-01T07:18:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.980067 | 568 |
Manchester United have been linked with Braga’s Portuguese forward Rafa Silva and have already prepared a £15.5 million bid to secure his services, according to reports. It is reported that United could sign the 22-year-old forward if Jose Mourinho happens to take the managerial job from current gaffer Louis van Gaal.
Silva, who has been dubbed the new Cristiano Ronaldo, is currently one of the promising youngster in Portugal. Any forward from Portugal who may sign for United has a heavy responsibility on his shoulder in the wake of the exploits of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rafa Silva, however, might just have abilities to fit in Luis Nani’s shoes and perhaps reflect Ronaldo’s reputation after staying at Old Trafford for some time. Silva was in action on Wednesday as his side faced FC Sion in the Europa league.
The 22–year-old helped his side edge through to the next round of the Europa League after a 2-2 draw in the second leg against FC Sion. They had previously recorded a 2-1 victory in the first leg fixture that ensure safe progress to the round of 16.
He was involved I the decisive moment of the tie, providing the assist for Nikola Stoiljkovic to score the crucial equalizer in the 48th minute.
There is no doubt united fans will be pleased if they land a player who can save their goal-shy attacking squad and help them reclaim their glory next season. | <urn:uuid:f86d2832-d877-4eb1-a03d-d3c210ade540> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.byfarthegreatestteam.com/posts/manchester-united-set-to-sign-the-new-cristiano-ronaldo/ | 2020-10-01T07:06:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.976913 | 301 |
Mozart may have died heavy in debt, having encountered much fickleness on the part of the Viennese audiences and struggled to find suitable permanent employment for most of his career, but today his music is celebrated the world over; he is considered one of music history's greatest names, the vast majority of his works enjoying regular performances and being constantly reinterpreted by amateurs and top professionals alike. Stretching from his earliest years (Mozart started composing at the age of five) right through to his final days, this wonderful compendium traverses the full gamut of his output, covering the time spent in Salzburg working for his employer, the Archbishop Colloredo, the extensive travel he undertook during the 1760s and 1770s (which was in part to showcase his prodigious talents on the keyboard and violin, together with his talented sister Nannerl), and his later years in Vienna, to which he escaped in 1781 – against his father's wishes – to pursue a freelance career and where he married Constanze Weber the following year.
What becomes evident from this set is that Mozart packed a phenomenal amount into his 35 years, a life that was often dominated by obsessive overwork, particularly towards the end. Moreover, there was not a genre akin to the period that he neglected nor did not achieve success in (in this collection the works are ordered as such, traversing orchestral music, chamber music, solo instrumental music, sacred music and vocal music), and in many cases he effected transformation, attaining new artistic levels – this is particularly evident in the piano concertos that begin the compendium, remarkable for their diversity of character, and the concluding mature operas, works that achieved new depths of characterisation. A more varied, colourful output you could not find, one that is enhanced in this release by the multitude of talented performers assembled. This 170-CD box set is not to be missed, affording hours of pleasurable listening that will satisfy both Mozart aficionado and novice.
- 170 CDs representing the entirety of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s oeuvre in historically informed performances. This includes all the concertos, chamber music, divertimenti, sonatas and of course the operas.
- For reasons of completeness, pure musical enjoyment, scholarly research, attractive, space‐saving design and price, you cannot afford to be without Brilliant Classics’ improved Complete Mozart Edition.
- Featuring numerous period-instrument and award-winning recordings.

Seasonal weight restrictions lifted on Spokane County roads
Last updated 6/6/2019 at 8:13am
The Spokane County Public Works Department announced on June 4 that seasonal weight restrictions have been removed on county roads.
According to a news release, typically, each winter the region experiences a freeze-thaw cycle that weakens roadway surfaces and undermines roadway sub-structures, requiring the implementation of weight restrictions to reduce the amount of damage. Weather conditions vary from year-to-year and dictate the extent of the restrictions and when they go into effect.
Normally, these restrictions do not apply to the average car or pickup truck. However, commercial... | <urn:uuid:04110ea7-e296-4271-a99a-41156cef35e5> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.cheneyfreepress.com/story/2019/06/06/news/seasonal-weight-restrictions-lifted-on-spokane-county-roads/24927.html | 2020-10-01T06:50:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.930597 | 133 |

Ghana is a beautiful cultural-filled country located in the western part of Africa. It is a small country that has amazing tourist sites to show the world. When you come to Africa, Ghana is a country considered to be stable when it comes to democracy and gradual development.
Ghana is regarded as one of the most peaceful countries in the world, with a country that has citizens full of hope and joy. With its sunny beaches, lively cities, friendly people, and easy methods of travelling around the country - Ghana is a great place to visit for tourists.
There are 14 regions in Ghana but mainly divided into the Northern and Southern parts. There are beautiful places in Ghana in almost every region. For example, when you go to the southern part of Ghana, you will find attractions like the Kakum National park, and when you go to the northern part, you can discover places like Mole National Park.
Using the map of Ghana, you can explore all the tourist sites.
Considered as the nations park, the Kakum National Park is a destination that every tourist must-see, having an area of 145 square meters. It is located on the coast of southern Ghana (specifically the Central Region of Ghana), and it is a habitat to many endangered animals especially mammals like antelopes and elephants.
The park also has a canopy walk which is suspended about 30 meters above the ground. The canopy walk can sometimes be scary if you are trying it for the first time, but if you have a sense of adventure, it should not be a problem. It provides a view above the trees that allows you to appreciate nature a lot more.
Waterfalls always attract people from all over the country and around the world, and Boti Falls is no different. Located in the Eastern Region of Ghana, 17km North-east of Koforidua, it is one of the attractions in the country with a history. The Boti Falls forms an integral part of Ghana.
According to history, Boti Falls is a twin waterfall, specifically male and female representing the upper and lower falls. The locals believe that when the volume of water from the falls becomes high, it means the two falls are mating, and a mating ceremony is organized. A rainbow is usually formed during the ceremony when there is a continuous splashing of water.
St. George Castle is a tourist site located in the Central Region of Ghana. This castle is one of the well-known landmarks in Ghana and is popularly known as the Elmina Castle. It can be found along the coast when driving from Accra to the Central region.
When the Europeans (specifically Portuguese) came to Ghana, it was the first European structure they built back in the year 1482, for trading in gold and other natural resources.
The Portuguese took 2 years to build the castle, completing it in 1486. The castle was initially built for trading in gold, and later became a central point in the slave trade that took place in Ghana. Slaves were gathered here and later sold to their owners. When you decide to visit this place, you will witness the physical history of the slave trade in the country and the impact it had on the people during that time.
Since Ghana is located in Africa, she enjoys lots of benefits from nature and Aburi Botanical Gardens is one of the most attractive sites in Ghana!
The gardens were officially opened in March 1890. The gardens are located in the town of Aburi, hence its name, and it is about 30km north from Accra in the Eastern Region of Ghana. The garden has a land size of 160 acres, with 157 acres reserved and the 3 acres developed into basic infrastructure.
Visiting the Aburi Gardens is a journey that can take your mind off the stress you might be going through in life. Because it is approximately a 45 minutes drive from Accra, you can easily travel here to have a picnic with your family and enjoy what nature has to offer.
The Larabanga Mosque is the oldest mosque in Ghana and is located in Larabanga, in the Northern Region of Ghana (Savannah Region). It was built in 1421 and is usually referred to as "the Mecca of West Africa".
Due to the Mosque's rich history, it currently features on the World Monuments Fund's "Watch List of 100 Most Endangered Sites". The Mosque was built with inspiration from the Sudanese architectural style, with mud and sticks. Because of its rich history, it is one of the most popular tourist sites in Ghana.
The history behind the Mosque and how it was constructed is still a mystery. A story is told that a Muslim named Ayuba built the Mosque. He was travelling through the area and had to rest. When he fell asleep, he had a dream to build a Mosque, and after waking up, the foundation was already built, so he completed it from that point. This is the place to be if you are a religious person, and you want to see some of the most significant sacred sites in Ghana.
If you want to interact with wildlife without having to worry about your life! Then the Paga Crocodile Pond is your go-to attraction site!
The Paga Crocodile Pond is a sacred pond located 44 kilometres outside of Bolgatanga, in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The pond serves as a habitat for West African crocodiles, who are friendly (by crocodile standards) towards humans, and this is why this place is so popular. Paga Crocodile Pond has a lot of history as well.
The natives believe that when they die, their souls continue to reside in the crocodiles. Because of this, it is an offence if you are caught trying to harm any of these crocodiles, either for food or for the mere purpose of entertainment.
A story told by the natives, is that a crocodile in the past brought a dying man to the pond for a drink. The man later survived and decided that the pond should be reserved as a sacred place and that no one should think of bringing harm to the crocodiles who reside in it.
When you come to Accra, the coastline is full of popular beaches that are great places for relaxation and entertainment.
Labadi Beach popularly known to Ghanaians as La Pleasure Beach is one of the most occupied beaches on the coast of Ghana and is maintained by the Labadi Beach Hotel, and La Palm Royale Beach.
If you are in Accra for a business trip, and if you are looking for some relaxing things to do in Ghana, then Labadi Beach could be the place for you to sit back and relax in your spare time.
During the weekends, people crowd the beach to enjoy themselves, playing games, horseback riding, and dancing to loud music in the background. But if you are the quiet type, the weekdays are the best time for you to relax at Labadi Beach.
When you desire a serene place to visit so you can have a pleasant relaxing time, then the best landmark to visit is a waterfall.
In the Volta Region of Ghana, a 5-hour journey when driving from Accra is the home of Agumatsa Falls, popularly known as the Wli Waterfalls. Wli Falls is recognized to be the highest waterfall in Ghana and West Africa - making it a top tourist site.
You can engage in lots of activities when you visit the Wli Waterfalls. For example, you can choose to relax by enjoying the flow of the falls, or by swimming in the water.
If you want to challenge yourself, you can go hiking with a guide to the top of the falls. At the top of the falls, is the shrine of the lesser gods believed to have been brought from Togo by the village ancestors.
Another one of the top sights in Ghana, is another Castle, Cape Coast Castle.
The Portuguese built this Castle on top just like the Elmina Castle, but this was built in 1555. The Castle was built for trading in precious gold but was also later used for slavery. During that time, Ghana was called the Gold Coast because there was gold everywhere in the country. This is what lured the Portuguese and later on, the British to Ghana.
The Cape Coast Castle is one of the sites to visit when you are in the Central Region. You can go to the "Door of No Return," which is one of the features of the Castle that has a history. It is believed the colonial masters transported the slaves from the Castle to the ships through this door. No slave has come back alive after undergoing this experience. Properly exploring this place will inform you about the impact of slavery on Ghanaians.
Another place to keep in mind when you visit Ghana is the Northern Region.
Located in the northern part of Ghana, the Mole National Park is the habitat of endangered species like elephants, roan antelope, and few rare birds.
As the Mole National Park has a land size of 4,840 square kilometres, it is one of the most suitable places to visit when you want to explore nature.
Mole National Park was the first park reserved by Ghana to conserve wildlife. The park protects over 300 bird species, 94 mammals, and other wildlife creatures.
Dr Kwame Nkrumah is remembered to be one of the greatest African leaders in the world. He led Ghana to gain independence from their colonial masters (Britain) on the 6th of March, 1957.
The Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and Memorial Park was dedicated in 1992, to commemorate the death of one of Africa's greatest leaders.
Located in Accra, the capital of Ghana, the mausoleum serves as the final resting place of Dr Kwame Nkrumah and his wife, Fathia Nkrumah. It is a place that displays rare artefacts related to the independence of Ghana.
Visiting the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum and Memorial Park will enlighten you on the in-depth history of how Ghana gained independence, I highly recommend a visit!
The Volta Region is the least visited region in Ghana, even though it has quite a few tourist sites like mountains, waterfalls, and lakes to offer.
Lake Volta located in the Volta Region of Ghana is the largest artificial lake in the world. With a surface area of 8,502 square kilometres, the Lake Volta flows around the whole country.
The prominent lake is contained by the Akosombo Dam, used to provide transportation, and most importantly, to generate electricity for the people of Ghana. The volta lake sustains a serene environment that allows you to feel free and release stress.
Another waterfall in Ghana that fascinates visitors to Ghana is the Kintampo Falls located when driving from Kumasi to Kintampo in the Brong Ahafo Region, exactly 4km away from the Kintampo Township.
The waterfall is shaped like a staircase, whereby the water disappears and resurfaces about 200 meters away from the original location.
When you are at the top of the falls, the view from there shows you how magnificent nature can be. The scenery and view is one of the primary attractions of the place.
After visiting the Kintampo falls, when you have more time to spare, you can also visit the Boambeng Fiema Monkey Sanctuary, also located in the Brong Ahafo Region.
The Ashanti Region of Ghana also has many tourist sites that attract thousands of visitors from outside the country.
In Kumasi, the capital of the region, we can find the only natural lake in Ghana, Lake Bosomtwi. The lake has an area of about 49 square kilometres and a depth of 70-74 meters. Mountains surround the lake, and it serves as a habitat for different fish species.
A story is told that the lake was created when a meteorite hit the town.
You might be wondering what to do when you visit the famous Lake Bosomtwi in Ghana. You can go fishing, diving, boat rides, swimming and even hiking by the nearby mountains. There are a lot of activities available once you get there, you just have to find the one that suits your style.
Ghana is a country that has many traditional communities. When I say traditional, it means the people still believe that Chiefs still play an important role in the growth of the country. The Ashanti Region has many chiefs, but the most prestigious among them is the Asantehene of Asanteman. The Manhyia Palace is where the Chief resides.
Visiting the Manhyia palace will show you the amazing cultures in the Ashanti Region. You will get the opportunity to meet and interact with the Chief himself. The people of Ghana don't joke with their culture, so it is important to learn part of it especially when you visit to help you interact with them properly.
Another tourist site the Ashanti Region specifically Kumasi can boast about is the Kumasi National Zoological Garden. The Zoo was built in 1951, and it occupies an area of 1.5 square kilometres, which is between the old Kumasi racecourse and the Kumasi Centre for National Culture.
The Kumasi National Zoological Garden was built to conserve endangered wildlife creatures in Ghana. It has an array of different animals like lions, baboons, camels, and a few bird creatures like parrots, eagle, and ostriches.
This Zoo is the best place to explore if you want to interact with African creatures when you are in Kumasi.
James Fort was built in Accra when the British came to Ghana during the Gold Coast days. The Royal African Company of England in 1673, built the fort to aid them in trade both gold and slaves. It serves as a reminder of the country's colonial rule. The fort was later turned into a prison until 2008.
Today the James Fort is one of the most popular attractions in Ghana, attracting visitors who are eager to educate themselves on the nation's past. If you are a visitor in Ghana, the James Fort is the place for you to explore the life of assumed criminals who were convicted in this facility.
The Usher Fort was built by the Dutch in 1649 in Accra but had the name Fort Crèvecœur. It is one of the three forts built by the Europeans for trading back in the 17th Century. It was transferred to the British administrator and renamed Usher Fort after him. During that time, the British Administrator carried out a crucial role in the Exchange of Territories between both countries.
The Usher Fort is located about 500m away from Fort James, which is also in Accra. The fort became a prison for slaves until 1993.
Today, the fort is used as a museum, and it serves as the offices of the Monuments of the Ghana Museum and Monuments Board. It opens from Monday to Saturday, from 9 am through to 4:30 pm.
The first president of Ghana, Dr Kwame Nkrumah was once held captive here before he steered the country to independence. Tourists visit to have a feel and inform themselves about what the world-renowned leader endured during his imprisonment.
Okomfo Anokye is a popular character in the history of the Ashanti Kingdom. He was the first priest of the Ashanti Kingdom, and through his help, the Ashanti Kingdom expanded and overcame their enemies.
About 300 years ago, when before Okomfo Anokye died, he struck his sword into the ground and pronounced that no one would be able to remove it.
Till this day, no one has accomplished this, despite many attempts. When you are in Kumasi as a tourist, going to the site should be included in your list of activities. The site offers insight into the beginning of the Ashanti Kingdom.
Ghana provides a few recreational parks, but most of them can be found in Accra, Greater Accra Region. The Lakeside Marina Park is a recreational park that was established in 2003, and it is located near Lake Mamoni. The park maintains a relaxing atmosphere, with well-kept facilities that ensures visitors will always have a good time.
Lakeside Marina Park is the place to take your family when you want to have a good time. They host games like swings, slides, and play-sets for the children to keep them occupied while adults relax. The park also has water activities like canoeing and boating; which is a great activity for couples looking to relax in Ghana.
Ghana is an African country with many tourist sites to share with their visitors. This list of 20 tourist sites in Ghana can help you make the most of a trip to Ghana.
Since Ghana is divided into 16 regions, each region has its share of attractions for its visitors. This list is a guide to help you explore a few of the most popular tourist attractions in Ghana.
When coming to Ghana, it is important to plan for more than 14 days, because you cannot explore many tourist sites within a short time. Every region has its cultural differences, and this is what makes Ghana a unique country. The people are friendly and willing to assist you in any way that seems fit.
If you want to learn about the culture also, the ideal time to schedule your visit is when a festival is approaching. There are many festivals in Ghana, with at least one festival every month. When you have ample time to spare, witnessing any of these festivals will be one of the most memorable things.
Enjoy exploring to Ghana!

'B-Shifter' Offers Nuggets of Knowledge
|Editor's note: What are some of your favorite firefighting books? Have you already checked out the offerings Peggy Glenn outlines in the following column? Share your thoughts and experiences in the Member Comments section at the end of this article.|
Bookin' it up the Career Ladder Welcome to my first column — and what an honor it is to share my world of books with all of you.
First, how hard do you laugh every day? Did you know that the endorphins released by laughter are more powerful than those released by exercise? I suggest you get yourself a huge dose of endorphins by diving into Nick Brunacini's new book, "B-Shifter." Nick's sense of humor knows no bounds and knows no peer. Every department has its "misfit shift." In Nick's department, Phoenix, it's B Shift. In your city, it might be Blue Shift, Green Shift, or A Shift; but you know what I'm talking about here.
However, Nick is not all play and no work. Be forewarned, buried in Nick's outrageous stories of the antics that he and his fellow B-Shifters get into are nuggets of knowledge. You learn about great leaders by reading about the good ones and reading about the not-so-good ones.
You learn the true reasons people live for their fire service job — it's not just the community chow, it's also the teamwork on a tragic scene, the decompressing afterwards, and the rallying when a brother or sister needs help. You also learn a lot about self-responsibility within a team. And, you'll OD on endorphins, I promise. It's the best $10 you'll ever spend, Nick guarantees it.
'Going for Gold'
Whenever I need a few words of wisdom and I can't connect via phone, I seek out one of the books I sell. At least once a month I find myself drawn to Ronny Coleman's "Going for Gold." I first met Ronny when he was fire chief in San Clemente, California. He has the most amazing way of distilling complex concepts into a few words.
His blazing energy is contagious and his mind is a marvel. His perspective is wide-angle; none of this telescopic or myopic stuff for him. There's a section early in his book that talks about how to do a self-assessment to see if going for a gold badge is right for you. These exercises are also fantastic as self-checks once you are the boss —yes, even in a bookstore being the boss can be a lot like being in charge of a fire company. There are personalities, there are chores that are less than desirable, and there are things we do that we’d rather not do. But it’s a fact that we love to come to work every day.
Ronny talks about assessing your decisiveness — can you make a decision when you need to, or do you need affirmation from above and below? He talks about reviewing your decisions with a good mirror — what were the really good ones you made, and what were the ones you'd like to do over? Are you methodically productive? Or do you spin around like a top when there are too many projects to juggle? Even if you’re a long way from a gold badge yourself, it never hurts to have some insight into the perspective of the officer approaching Chiefdom.
My goal in these columns is to share a lot, and here's a small sampling of what you can expect from me in future columns.
- Details on some of the lesser-known books
- Tidbits that might have been overlooked in the big books
- Ways to read "outside the fire lines" to gain insight from leaders in business and management
- "Under the radar" fire books that offer a different perspective
- The handiest pocket-guides you'll ever use
- New editions and new books | <urn:uuid:91131fe9-b803-4f30-b8dd-f0dfbf8f7ad0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.firechief.com/fire-products/education/books-training/articles/b-shifter-offers-nuggets-of-knowledge-NP4JvRiBJVfzzyWu/ | 2020-10-01T06:37:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.970697 | 829 |

Hear the herald of God’s new age,
Hear the hope of good news,
Hear the name above every name,
This name, the prince of all names.
Hear the name of Jesus,
Saviour of the world,
Come and with your hearts and lips adore.
Sweetest Lady, Hear the Word.
Highly favoured, full of grace and love.
A sword will pierce
your own heart and soul,
Your journey will be alone:
You will part in the dark of noon
And by the cold of a tomb.
Then your child shall rise again
And empty will be the tomb.
Jesus is the hope of every dawn.
At his name all knees shall bow
And confess Him King of Glory now.
Hear the herald.
Hear the hope of good news.

Mangosuthu Buthelezi wants IFP, ANC to reconcile
Durban - IFP leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi said while he is saddened that he will not see the next chapter of the party, he hoped that reconciliation between the party and the ANC could be achieved.
“It is something that must be achieved, to normalise the political relationship between our organisations.
“This work now lies in the future.”
This chapter, he said, would hopefully bring social and economic justice.
“This is not (just) because I am stepping down, but because in a few days’ time I will turn 91. Common sense tells me that my time is short. There is so much I will not get to see.
“I cannot tell you how privileged I feel to have worked alongside so many extraordinary patriots. It would be impossible for me to recount the names of those who have walked this journey with me and have distinguished themselves as leaders. I can only thank God for His infinite wisdom, for bringing together so many remarkable people.”
Buthelezi said he owed a debt of gratitude to the rank and file of the IFP’s members.
This gratitude he said, extended “to the faithful who have voted for us since 1994, and to those who have tied their destiny to the destiny of the IFP. While some have only joined the IFP recently, many have grown up in this Party.”
“I am proud when I see people wearing IFP regalia. I am proud when total strangers write to me to thank me for what the IFP is doing. And I am proud to know that the IFP has been a good home for so many struggling South Africans.
“Because we haven’t just demanded political allegiance. We have substantially changed the lives of countless individuals.” | <urn:uuid:04f88996-85a6-490d-9bf3-c5a8c293ebb3> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.iol.co.za/news/politics/mangosuthu-buthelezi-wants-ifp-anc-to-reconcile-31210539 | 2020-10-01T08:17:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.962328 | 394 |

Students must pay special attention to this sample SNA assignment for a better understanding. There are two parts of any assessment, i.e. project and skill demonstration. Both these parts carry an equal weight of fifty per cent.
- Project: The Teaching of Individuals with the “Special Educational Needs Act 2004” requires students to investigate and examine. The Irish students must outline the evaluation procedures for the disabled child as set out in the bill mentioned above. They are mandated to assess this system as a part of the survey and determine the advantages of the evaluation process. They have to choose to center their program on an exceptional need. You should always assemble the application first. It should then follow the evaluation criteria highlighted in the briefs of this program of special need assisting.
- Skill demonstration: Skill demonstration further divided into the two main sections. Dublin scholars must focus on both points of skill demonstration. In the further part of the article, there is an explanation of both of those points
1st Section – The student will need to illustrate their knowledge of working with those with special needs.
The learner will examine 2nd Section – The realistic elements of operating those with disabilities. For such a section, the student will also be reviewed by the boss & labeled by lecturers via student journals as well as reflection journals.

A good manager or lead employee can make all the difference on your operation floor in terms of productivity. Laura Stack of HR resource website TLNT
provides tips for leaders to build a more positive and more productive work environment.
- Track productivity. You can’t manage if you are not tracking and measuring your team’s productivity. This will allow you to not only stay on track but see where challenges exist and what areas need help or attention.
- Ask for feedback. Regularly ask employees for their thoughts on how to improve processes on the floor. They may be able to alert you to gaps or problem areas as well as pointing out what is working well.
- Provide feedback. The flip side of asking for employee feedback is to provide feedback to employees. Be sure it is meaningful, specific and, if needed, provides suggestions on how to improve or overcome challenges.
- Set reasonable goals. If goals are not attainable employees will become discourage and possibly “give up”. Provide time-based milestones and objectives and provide suggestions and solutions on how these goals can be met (involve your employees in this discussion as well!).
- Trust and respect your team. Be involved in their work but make sure not to micromanage.
- Recognize good work. Specific recognition tailored to the employee can go a long way in motivating and improving the individual’s productivity. Be sure to take time to say thank you in big and small every day ways.
Share what works for your operation to keep employees productive.

In our last blog "Where To Look When Researching" we discussed various sources of reliable information. What information will actually help you make the best decision when considering plastic surgery? In this blog post we will discuss 5 things to look for.
In Australia, a certified Specialist Plastic Surgeon will have the following qualification: FRACS. This means they are a Fellow of The Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
This qualification means:
- Minimum of 12 years medical and surgical education, including at least 5 years specialist postgraduate training
- Strict code of ethics
- Commitment to continuing education requirements
- Operates in accredited medical facilities
Only certified Specialist Plastic Surgeons are allowed to use the term "Specialist Plastic Surgeon".
Check which hospitals your surgeon is accredited with and if the accreditation is still current. Many surgeries in Australia should only be performed in an accredited hospital facility.
Reviews can be a helpful guide to finding a plastic surgeon. It is a good idea to take into account the number of reviews listed for the surgeon and the ratio of good to bad reviews. Look at the overall theme of the reviews ie does the doctor listen and are they warm and caring as a whole. A bad review on its own does not necessarily reflect the true story and needs to be put into perspective with the other reviews the surgeon has. Of course, if all the reviews are bad it might be telling you something. A recent survey by realself showed that most patients would consider a surgeon with a 4.5+ rating.
Many patients want to see a before and after gallery of their surgeons work and many surgeons are happy to provide an online gallery. Other surgeons have strict privacy policies on photos but are happy to show before and afters during a consultation.
Online photos although helpful can be misleading as each person has different body structures and differing results from similar procedures. The body does not heal uniformly and no two results are exactly the same. Ask your surgeon to show you photos of patients with a similar situation to your own.
Make sure before and after photos have the same lighting conditions, same angles and positions, ideally without make-up and are not touched up etc.
While tempting, the lowest fee is not necessarily the best option. When considering the fees ensure they include everything ie surgeon, hospital, anaesthetist, garments, implants, surgical assistant and follow-up. Ask what is included in the fees provided.
In Part 3 of this plastic surgery research blog we will discuss what to look for when consulting a plastic surgeon.
As always, no procedure is without risk. A discussion of all potential benefits and complications should be held during consultation with a certified Specialist Plastic Surgeon.
If you have any other questions or concerns about plastic surgery or the procedures plastic surgeons perform, send an enquiry on our contact page and we will do our best to help.

Iraqis keep up demonstrations despite PM's vow to quit
Iraqi demonstrators celebrate with a national flag as they ride in the back of a pick-up truck following the PM's announcement to tender his resignation [Ahmad al-Rubaye/AFP]

Iraqis kept up anti-government protests in Baghdad and the south on Saturday (November 30), unsatisfied with the premier's vowed resignation and insisting on the overhaul of a system they say is corrupt and beholden to foreign powers.
Protesters have hit the streets since early October in the largest grassroots movement Iraq has seen in decades, sparked by fury at poor public services, lack of jobs and endemic government graft.
The decentralised demonstrations were met with violence from security forces and armed groups, leaving more than 420 people dead and 15,000 wounded according to an AFP tally compiled from medics and an Iraqi rights commission.
The toll spiked dramatically this week, when a crackdown by security forces left dozens dead in Baghdad, the Shiite shrine city of Najaf and the southern hotspot of Nasiriyah -- the birthplace of Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi.
Facing pressure from the street and the country's top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani, Abdel Mahdi announced on Friday that he would submit his resignation to parliament, due to meet on Sunday.
But demonstrations have not subsided, with crowds in the capital and across the Shiite-majority south sticking to their weeks-long demand of complete regime change.
Teenager protesters also held their ground in Baghdad, staring down security forces positioned behind concrete barriers to protect government buildings.
"We won't leave our barricades until the regime falls, until we get jobs, water, electricity," one protester said.
Hundreds also converged in the main protest camp in Nasiriyah's city centre and set tyres ablaze on three bridges spanning the Euphrates River, according to AFP's correspondent.
The bloodshed this week sparked criticism from the United Nations, which said the deaths "cannot be tolerated."

Happy Thanksgiving, I am Thankful! - Sarah & Isaac Photographers Blog
Happy Thanksgiving week to all of my clients and readers. I wanted to take a moment and show my gratitude. Being a photographer is such a blessing to me, but the true blessing comes from those who trust in me to document and capture their most special moments---for that honor, I am so thankful. | <urn:uuid:0d8460fb-50a3-4ea8-a58f-6cfe45a56948> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.pinterest.pt/kayceemaldridge/thanksgiving-chalkboard/ | 2020-10-01T08:58:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.880812 | 510 |
I have received some .plt files from an engineering firm I need to view and
plot. I have also just wasted an hour searching, with no luck, the blogs,
forums and Help information on how do that. There's lots of info on what
the file type is for, (generic printing) but not on specifically how to
deal with them.
Autocad (vanilla '06) doesn't see the files to open them, the DWF viewer
won't open them either.
I thought if I could create one maybe I could find out how to deal with it.
"If the plotter is configured to plot to a file,...
Each drawing sheet's plot file is saved with the same name as the
with the appropriate file extension for the file (for example, .plt,
but I cannot find any "Plot to file" option, and if I publish to a DWF file
it's extension is, not surprisingly, .dwf.
It can't be that hard, so I must be missing something. Can anybody point me
in the right direction?
We've been using this for years for the exact same reason you have. Well
worth the money which is not much at all.

PLT (= PLoT) doesn't say anything concerning the format of the
content, if the plotter driver used is outputting e.g. PostScript data
you won't be successful in viewing with a HP-GL/HP-RTL plot viewer.
Therefore just ask the person generating the data which plotter driver
supporting which format resp. plotter language (e.g. PCL, HP-GL, PS,
BGL etc.) was used. Or open the file with an editor and check, if you
can see anything readable concerning the contained format in the
header of the plot file.

Many years ago I found a program that was exactly what everyone would
want to do this. A truly amazing product. It would even take a plot
file, and after viewing it on the screen, let you print it on your
laserjet, so even those dopey programs that didn't plot to laserjets
could output a plot there.
You could then include a plot in a report and email to someone who
could print it - great.
I have no idea if it's still available, but here's the first few pages
of text from the manual I still have on disk.
I hope this guy is a millionaire now - he certainly deserves it.
See if you can find a reference to it somewhere on the net and post it

The SPLOT program is a highly effective tool intended for
simulating the pen plotter on the display of an IBM PC. The
SPLOT program is the very thing you need to make your work
with the plotter more effective. The SPLOT program will give
you a guarantee you will always draw on your plotter what you
really want. That is why it will save your nerves, your time,
your plotter, pens and paper, that means your money.
The SPLOT program can offer:
- active support of about 50 HP-GL instructions (according
to the type of your plotter).
- active support of 20 DXY-GL instructions (for ROLAND
- possibility of exporting a picture to the printer and in
this way to obtain an output of a high quality. The SPLOT
program uses the best graphics resolutions available for
each printer that it supports and optionally uses data
packing to improve transfer speed. In this way the SPLOT
program will make a fast and excellent plotter of your
printer. It supports all usual types of printers including
- exporting a picture to the HP-GL, HP-GL/2, DXY-GL,
PLOTCALL, DXF and PostScript formats.
- possibility of making picture cuts (the ZOOM function). In
this way you can scan, draw on the plotter or print only
the selected part of the picture.
- possibility of completing the picture with a text
including multilingual characters - in this way the SPLOT
program will teach your plotter German (Spanish, French,
etc.) easily and quickly without complicated switching
between character sets! The built-in HP-GL or DXY-GL
exports respectively, will make it possible. Due to these
exports it is also possible:
- to offer a highly optimized output for your plotter
(where each pen is grasped only once).
- to teach your plotter the advanced instructions you
would get only if you buy a more expensive plotter or
additional hardware (e.g., the SPLOT program can
simulate connecting an additional HP 17440A graphics
enhancement cartridge to the HP 7440A ColorPro plotter).
The SPLOT program can be used by:
- anybody who wants to work with his plotter in the WYSIWYG
style (What You See Is What You Get).
- anybody who wants to develop his own plotter program
applications. You can reach it with the SPLOT program
easily even if you do not own the plotter at all!
- anybody who wants to use his printer as a plotter
occasionally or constantly. In many cases using a printer
may be faster and moreover, this may be an alternative of a
- anybody who wants to program a printer in graphics mode and
at a high level and who does not want to develop
complicated software which would enable it. In these cases
using the HP-GL language in connection with the SPLOT
program seems to be very advantageous for creating own
graphics outputs. The HP-GL language can be learned very
easily and in addition, it offers unexpected possibilities.
The SPLOT program is available in various versions
according to the type of simulated plotter. This means that
each SPLOT.EXE module is designated for a certain plotter
type. This principle gives the maximum reliability of
simulation of the given plotter type. At present versions for
the following plotter types are at your disposal:
Plotter type | Plotter syntax
HP 7470A | HP-GL
HP 7475A | HP-GL
HP 7440A ColorPro | HP-GL
HP 7550A | HP-GL
HP 7570A/7575A/7576A DraftPro DXL/EXL | HP-GL
HP 7595A/7596A DraftMaster I/II | HP-GL
ROLAND DXY 1100/1200/1300 | DXY-GL / RD-GL I
ROLAND GRX 300/400 | RD-GL II
etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
If you would have read the thread, you would surely have seen, that I
have already posted a recommendation for SPLOT.
btw, is it really sensful to post the complete readme whereas simply
mentioning the product name would have been sufficient?

“Time cures all wounds.”
“It’s time to move on.”
If you’re a divorce Catholic Christian, heck, if you’re a divorced anybody, especially if you’re not the one who wanted the divorce, you’ve probably heard others say these things to you more often than you’d like to think about, and in many ways they’re true.
I’ve been single since Mother’s Day 2009, six and a half years now, and I am far from the trembling, heartbroken, confused, terrified, hurt child I was then. Thank God! I believe, between the shock of my husband’s sudden departure and his filing for divorce so quickly and having our last little boy, I literally shook for a good six months, probably more like eight or more.
No human being can live in that state forever though. At some point you either cave in and become angry and bitter, falsely believing this is a defense needed to protect yourself from future heartbreak or you turn to someone else for protection and stand taller with him or you let the Holy Spirit lift you when you know you don’t have the strength to stand on your own.
Out of crisis, God brings great faith
if you allow Him to.
My standing is no different from the countless others who have been lifted before me. It is a Miracle, no doubt in my mind, but it is a Miracle that happens often when people turn to God in divorce, when people turn to God in crisis of any kind.
And the immediate agony is lifted, albeit slowly sometimes, and there is a freeing of the soul, a beauty found in the scarred but healing heart, the heart which has gained Wisdom to remain ever-guarded but which has known Love through the storms to remain soft and giving, open, and yes, Loving.
It’s amazing, that coming out the other side, and being grateful for the pain that struck without warning. It’s freeing and inspiring and gives you the courage to move forward.
Which is a Good thing, because, as the understanding of the finality of your situation strikes, the reality of your situation and the fact that it is an ongoing reality also strikes, and false cliches like “You’ll get over it,” are replaced with what we assume are true cliches like, “There’s no rest for the weary,” and “A Mom’s job is never done,” and “I’ll rest when I’m dead.”
Because Satan is smart. He knows, even better than your ex, what buttons to push. In some of us, he pushes buttons that lead to promiscuity. In others buttons lead to drinking or gambling or drugs or working obsessively. We recognize these evils even if we fail to acknowledge them as such.
Satan knows he can’t use the same tricks on all of us though. Some of us pride ourselves in being too smart to fall for that stuff, and maybe we are, but pride may be our downfall.
We fail to realize we are not too smart to fall for the tricks Satan has laid out just for us, knowing us well, knowing our buttons well, and Satan uses his button of weariness to attack the unaware, the tired, the divorced, the single Mom, the single Dad, the lonely. He uses the very routine that was needed to make it through those first few months or years of divorce to slowly chip away at Willpower and Strength, Courage and Hope, Faith and Love.
The daily struggles, the unfairness of life, the bleak, empty, vast or too quickly ending future become wrapped in piles of unfolded laundry, dishes piled high in the sink, children who refuse to listen, and paychecks that don’t stretch far enough.
In Sunday’s Gospel, Luke 21: 25-28, 34-36, we see signs of the end times, nations of earth will be in dismay, roaring sea and waves, people dying of fright. Great signs accompany the end times. Signs of war and famine and disease and natural disasters.
But other subtle signs too will be present, and it seems Jesus speaks directly to the divorced, to the lonely, to those who have become trapped in surviving the same day, day in and day out. He seems to speak directly to the single Parent, to those who wake up early and go to bed late, who work knowing they cannot fully support their families without help, to those who see no light at the end of the tunnel and no gratitude from those in their care.
Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and catch you by surprise like a trap.
Jesus knew. He knew way back then that the troubles we face in the daily grind could be as dangerous to our souls as carousing and drunkenness. He knew that Satan would attempt to pull us down, to weary our souls, to turn us negative simply by giving us our daily lives.
He knew that sometimes, after the storm has passed, it is the ongoing, lengthy cleanup that follows that makes people give up and move away. He knows that it is in the day to day cleanup that we are most at risk of giving up and moving away.
He speaks to you. He warns you. He wants better for you. He Loves You. You are not alone.
If you are divorced and alone, especially as the Christmas season arrives, if you are a single Parent, tired of responsibilities that never end and saddened as the gift-giving, partying season approaches and money is tight, stand tall. Stand Strong. You are not alone.
Jesus is with you. Your Father Loves you. The Holy Spirit Strengthens you and gives you Courage and there are many others, silent behind closed doors, feeling the same way you do right now.
Be a Light to others. Guard against weariness, as dangerous as carousing and drunkenness. Be ready to face another day in Christ’s Love because there is one cliche we know for certain is True.
For this too shall pass.
And, as always, thanks for commenting, liking, following, and sharing!

As part of the Debt Panel, The National published an article on the debt woes of a Dubai account manager, who has accumalated a debt of more than AED 100,000 on his five credit cards and one loan. Souqalmal Founder & debt panellist Ambareen Musa answers his queries.
I earn Dh12,000 a month as an accounts manager and have five credit cards from five different banks with outstanding balances of Dh103,500. I also have a loan on which I make monthly payments of Dh5,400. I want to settle the credit cards as soon as possible with a single loan. However, no bank is giving me a loan. I am from India and borrowed this money for my cousin to help him set up a business, however his business has now flopped. If any bank gives me a loan, I can then pay and settle the cards in one go. I am suffering because there are too many financial charges and late payments fees on the credit cards.
Here is what one of the debt panellist – Ambareen Musa had to say:
The Dh5,400 monthly instalment on your personal loan alone takes your Debt Burden Ratio (DBR) close to the 50 per cent limit prescribed in the UAE. Then there’s the Dh103,500 outstanding balance on your credit cards which is multiplying every month owing to the high interest rates on UAE credit cards, close to 40 per cent per annum, on average. This will most likely make consolidating all your debt a problem, so here’s an alternative solution.

Digital life’s important for us and so is its safety. Read on for ways to handle yours with kid gloves!
Awkward as it is today, you may lose your entire digital life in just a few hours despite that it takes lots of time to build it. Most of us become security conscious only after we’ve lost an email or social media account and/or got our web presence affected in some other manner!
So, it’s important that you are alert enough to learn and practice the right precautionary measures well in time.
Here are some easy ways to help you prevent all this from happening to you.
Foolproof Backing Up of Data:
Develop a habit of backing all your important data up by employing multiple sources. One of the most popular and effective ways is cloud backup. Make sure you take help from a reputed professional capable of protecting your data with convenient and modern ways. For extra safety, keep your data stored in a portable hard disk drive too.
The first thing is to ensure that you are using different passwords for each of your email and social networking accounts. Another requisite is to choose strong-strength and difficult-to-guess passwords. You have the option of using a password manager in case you find it difficult to manage so many complex passwords.
Opt for Two-Step Verification:
Most social media platforms including Facebook and Google are providing their users with highly useful and reliable features like two-step verification, making the login process safer. The two-step verification system requires the user to have an extra pin code in addition to the password.
Make Your Security Questions Stronger:
Almost all good websites use security questions in order to authenticate users for maximum security. This feature is equally helpful when users forget their passwords and want to reset them. Although hackers can try guessing your answers to hack your accounts, still you can make it nearly impossible for them by choosing unique answers to the security questions.
Allow Login Notifications:
One of the greatest safety features that you can rely on is the login notification feature. Many social networks and banking websites offer this security feature. Once you start using it, you are notified via SMS or email when someone attempts to access your account from an unrecognized mobile or computer device. | <urn:uuid:3b1b9a1b-caea-4c8a-9d15-76519ceba3c4> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.techsling.com/5-easy-ways-to-protect-your-digital-life/ | 2020-10-01T08:31:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.939453 | 465 |

Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) A Comparison of the Ogura One Hundred Poets #3: Kaga Chiyo, 1847. Oban.
One of the very best series of Japanese prints ever produced, this collaboration by the artists Hiroshige, Kunisada and Kuniyoshi brings together the three giants of mid century ukiyo-e in one beautifully conceived and executed series.
In this lovely print Kuniyoshi has pictured the poetess Kaga Chiyo (1703-75) who wrote famous verses in the early haiku form, haiki. She wrote and studied poetry and calligraphy from the age of fifteen and became a nun in 1754. Kuniyoshi shows her beside a smoking brazier, to repel mosquitoes. She wears a robe decorated with morning glory flowers, an allusion to her most famous poem.
The poem that is illustrated is one in which she mourns the death of her husband and laments the lonely nights spent under the broad mosquito net:
Must I sleep alone
through the long autumn nights,
long like the dragging tail
of the pheasant
in the foot wearying mountains?

Gadsden Airport Industrial Park Receives AdvantageSite Destination
22 Feb, 2009
The AdvantageSite program requires that community economic development organizations provide documentation specific to a proposed industrial site, including a set of standard data related to ownership/control, environmental and geotechnical conditions, as well as infrastructure status.
Sites must also meet size, zoning and accessibility requirements.
“We’re constantly looking for ways to enhance our competitiveness,” said Wayne Hollar, chairman of the board of directors of the Gadsden-Etowah County Industrial Development Authority. “Thanks to our mayor and city council we have a competitive product, and thanks to our staff we have a huge amount of documentation to prove it.”
The other designated AdvantageSites are in Cullman, Dallas, Franklin, Jackson, Lauderdale and Marion Counties. This is the second site this year to receive the AdvantageSite designation and the seventh overall.
“I am very optimistic that this will be a busy year for the AdvantageSite program,” said Greg Knighton, Economic Development Partnership of Alabama (EDPA) vice president and director of business information. “There are clear benefits to participating in the program, and as we build critical mass, that becomes more and more obvious.”
The AdvantageSite program is jointly sponsored by the Alabama Development Office, Alabama Gas Corporation, Alabama Power Company, EDPA, the North Alabama Industrial Development Association and PowerSouth Energy Cooperative.
The voluntary industrial site preparedness program was created in order to make the state more competitive for companies considering a location in Alabama. | <urn:uuid:e4f101ae-f0c8-4712-9e95-321ea79a56a0> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.tradeandindustrydev.com/industry/manufacturing/news/gadsden-airport-industrial-park-receives-advantagesite-destination-1616 | 2020-10-01T07:43:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.927802 | 329 |

When I heard Vego Salad Bar wanted a site I wanted to give them something that exudes the clean and natural feeling of their restaurants. When loading the site, I wanted users to be greeted with full page images of beautiful organic food. User interface elements would use a calming and reassuring white paired with light and dark greens.
- Website Design (Frontend)
VEGO SALAD BAR WEBSITE PROJECT
Vego Salad Bar is the first salad bar in Cambodia. Opened in Phnom Penh in 2010, Vego Salad Bar provides fresh vegetables from local farmers, homemade breads, as well as wraps and pastries that are made fresh daily. With an focus on community involvement, Vego Salad Bar helps their farming partners to produce by international organic standards. With this ethos, the restaurant is famous for its create-your-own-salads made with a large range of healthy and chemical free products.
With two locations and counting, Vego Salad Bar is a clean and cool cafe offering health conscious locals and expats outstanding organic food choices.
Acting as Art Director on their website design project, I wanted the UI to get out of the way. To achieve this, I placed the menu bar at the bottom of the screen and made the order form an easily accessible flyout menu that the user could open as needed. The order form and checkout menu were given craft paper backgrounds to keep with Vego Salad Bar’s all-natural philosophy.
Their mobile site takes the basic elements of the Vego Salad Bar desktop site and simplifies them. Using large buttons and flyout menus ensures users experience as streamlined as possible. These larger buttons and drop down menus make for pleasant ordering on touch screens. Navigation is done via a drop down menu and the order page takes over the entire screen. | <urn:uuid:6062fe91-ab0d-4ca0-9672-3f40e0a168ea> | CC-MAIN-2020-40 | https://www.vicedesign.co/portfolio/vego-salad-bar-website-project/ | 2020-10-01T07:06:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-40/segments/1600402124756.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20201001062039-20201001092039-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.933489 | 369 |
Mental health advocates offer suicide prevention information for those impacted by COVID-19
DOTHAN, Ala. (WTVY) - The coronavirus pandemic is causing numerous hardships for families across the country. Those hardships include the stress of losing a job, business closures, and financial loss. Those factors could all lead to suicidal thoughts.
I caught up with some mental health advocates this week about their message to people who are experiencing suicidal thoughts during this time.
“Suicide has no face in my opinion,” Kim Barnett, a Behavioral Health Support Administrative Coordinator, said.
Barnett knows all too well the pain of losing someone due to suicide.
“I had a friend take their life not too long ago. And the guilt from that, you just cant explain it,” Barnett said.
Barnett is not alone. Families across the country are feeling losses of all kinds during the pandemic.
“During this time with Covid, its’ affecting so many businesses and so many people and their employment,” Rose Blakey Phillips said.
Blakey-Phillips is a licensed professional counselor in the Wiregrass.
“I think there has been some increase in suicide in the numbers of suicide since the pandemic. But I also think that (the virus) is going to be an ongoing risk factor,” Blakey-Phillips said.
She says the pandemic is causing a lot of anxiety, depression, and other risk factors, which can result in suicidal thoughts. Outward signs include withdrawal, isolation and anger issues. If you notice someone close to you who may be battling those thoughts-- reach out before its too late.
“If you ever get somebody that you pick up on a vibe that they may do something like that, what I would do is just talk to them and listen. The best thing you can do is listen to somebody, because if they think you’re there and you actually care, that will make them feel a little better,” Barnett said.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or depression, there are local and national resources available. Local resources for those in need of food include the Wiregrass Area Food Bank. Wiregrass 2-1-1 can put you into contact with a local counselor.
“My message to everybody is no matter how deep you are in debt, how bad the money situation is, or how scary it is that you can’t pay the rent, or how scary it is that you cant feed your family, there is always another option other than suicide,” Blakey-Phillips said.
The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can call 1-800-273-TALK.
You can find more information here at the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention

After listening to the story about Marc Colvin on ABC Radio National's Life Matters, I have now registered as an organ/tissue doner. My family is supportive of my decision, including my wonderful wife, whos beliefs probably would not let her register herself.
Born virtually blind, I was lucky enough to receive a cornea transplant at the age of 4 and a half (apparently I was the youngest child to have one in 1988). Although logically this meant I probably should have definitely become a doner myself when I was old enough, this story, plus another on the same subject on Radio National's In The Spirit of Things a few months back I think, finally pushed me to register.
Although at the age of 15 a second eye operation went rather wrong causing me to loose all my sight, I am extremely greatful for the 10 years of partial sight the donated cornea was able to give me.
I never got to thank the family of the 19 year old boy whos cornea gave me those years of partial sight, although I believe I did get the chance to contact them in around 1999 or so. It just happened though that this was just after I lost my remaining sight at 15, so I was certainly not in the right space to be thinking about those kinds of things.
Although the donation I received was not needed to fix a life-threatening situation, the gift has most certainly shaped who I am today. I certainly believe that people must be comfortable with the decision to donate, and in no way must it conflict with their cultural or religious beliefs. But, if people are happy to donate, please make sure to register, and let your family know you have done so. | <urn:uuid:f9bc3cfe-2147-4efa-99f8-491b0a1a21f6> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://blog.kulgan.net/2010/09/finally-registered-as-organ-doner.html | 2022-01-29T01:29:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.983627 | 345 |

As the Obama administration contemplates enlarging the engagement with the Islamic State into Syria, it’s timely to consider the broader foreign policy of the United States. Contrasting the George W. Bush and Barack Obama doctrines offers a good case study.
In the second presidential debate of the 2000 campaign, Mr. Bush said American troops should not be used for nation building. He elaborated “troops ought to be used to help overthrow the dictator when it’s in our best interests.” The 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center brought a quick change in by-then president Bush’s actions. Less than a month later, U.S. forces attacked Afghanistan seeking Osama bin Laden and defeat of al-Qaida. With some success, a fledgling democracy emerged.
The Bush policy thus became both regime change and nation building. If there were any doubt about that, it was put to rest by the attack on Iraq in March, 2003 with the avowed purpose of removing Saddam Hussein and the Baathist Party. The disastrous consequences of that action are still unfolding.
In an early and possibly premature recognition of Mr. Obama’s dovish oratory, he was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. In his acceptance speech he said: “First, in dealing with those nations that break rules and laws, I believe that we must develop alternatives to violence….” His record of carrying out that noble principle, however, is uneven.
Soon after becoming president, Mr. Obama rightfully made known his intention to end the United States’ engagement in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. Notwithstanding that decision, he authorized the troop surge in Afghanistan. He greatly expanded the use of armed drones in several countries, even killing U. S. citizens accused of being al-Qaida terrorists, without any pretense of due process of law. He directed special operation forces to enter Pakistan, without permission, in the daring capture and killing of Osama bin Laden.
The withdrawal of American forces from Iraq in 2011 and the announced withdrawal of our combat troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014, the failure to intervene in the Syrian civil war and to attack Syria for its use of chemical weapons, and his perceived timidity in Libya and Ukraine have all led to charges of a failure of leadership and an increasingly isolationist foreign policy.
Mr. Obama’s risk-averse policy is perceived by many as weakness, especially abroad. His decision not to attack Syria over the chemical weapons issue, however, demonstrated strength, not the opposite. He seized a diplomatic opportunity that resulted in the removal and destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile, without risking the unintended consequences of a missile attack. Likewise, his continuing negotiations with Iran to limit its nuclear capability to peaceful purposes may avoid much more serious risks of military action.
Without defending all of his actions or inactions, the measured foreign policy of Mr. Obama, including the use of force when necessary to protect the national interest, is more prudent and responsible than the aggressive policy of Mr. Bush.
Mr. Obama’s air attacks on the Islamic State forces in Iraq, and the probable expansion of that action into Syria, are a case in point. If the attacks prove to be precisely limited to the destruction of ISIS as a threat and not a broad engagement in the Syrian civil war, they will vindicate the caution and strength of Obama’s foreign policy.

With last week’s post in mind, focusing on discipline, I was well-disciplined this week. It feels good, but it also feels exhausting. Thursday was my day off and ever since then I’ve been wondering how I’m possibly going to make it. That being said, I know that the first few weeks of training can be difficult to get through. My body is just not used to be stressed in this way and it is telling my brain to quit. This is where a strong mind comes in. It is imperative to stay positive and know that I can keep training and that I will be fine.
My rest day was absolutely awful. It was by-none the worst day of the week. My body felt completely drained. Also, I was really disorganized on Wednesday and didn’t have the proper food to make a decent lunch. So I basically didn’t eat lunch and then at work I ate a donut. It seemed like a good idea, but I’m pretty sure it was my hungry body overpowering my “strong” mind. By the way, I’m not 100% sure, but I’m pretty sure donuts are NOT vegan. I don’t even know why I had one. After I ate it, I knew that it had dairy in it. It sent my body reeling for a good 5 hours – I thought I was going to puke, but had stomach cramps for a while and then just felt crappy. It’s 3 days later and I still don’t feel completely better. It will probably just take a couple more days and a few more workouts.
This next week will likely be a little less intense than last week. I’ve started putting my workouts on Beginner Triathlete and you can see them on there. It is not the easiest website to use, but it is where my training buddies are putting there’s and I do like some parts of it. I have not found one that I like completely so I’ll give this one the ol’ college try.
Also this past week I decided to drain the blood blister that has been getting bigger and bigger on my right foot. I’m pretty sure that it has developed because of running in the snow. The sliding and difficulty with staying firmly planted on the ground has resulted in some rubbing on my bunions. I have really bad feet in general. Anyway, the blood blister has been a source of pain for sure and after some reading on how to drain it (some websites saying that one should not drain it), I decided to do it. Luckily for you, dear reader, I took some photos!
All that being said, my body feels pretty good. I’ve been doing lots of stretching and abs and some strength training. Other than the overall feeling of tiredness and a bit of some IT-band tightness in my right food, my body feels pretty good. | <urn:uuid:4643b86e-c6ad-4c8c-8088-5004adccc158> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | http://vegantriathlete.com/2011/01/when-exhaustion-tries-to-take-over/ | 2022-01-29T00:36:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.985321 | 617 |
I found Achtung Baby! a few months ago and it quickly became my new favorite website.
I'm not really sure what's going on with it. The closest description I can find without sifting through all the archives is this:
The ambitions to dump various levels of creativity here are dimished by frustration with the large amount of old material I have to go through and put here. I would devote all weekend to it but tomorrow I'm going home for Rachel's wedding.
When I bought The Invisble Band I was visiting Raw and Casey in Lawrence. As soon as we walked in their door, I put in the CD and sat there, reading the lyrics.

They are inside all of us, buried deep inside our subconscious—these moments of impact. There are places, people, and events that changed who we are becoming. When our lives bump up against something that challenges us or deepens our understanding, we become the sprout that branches off an old limb. Over time you don’t see where the new life began, for it is part of the whole, yet this shoot did have an origin and it changed the life of the tree completely by springing into existence. For me, it is often a fragrance that often brings these pivot points back to the surface.
It was my daughter that first noticed what was to her an offending scent. She wrinkled her nose and covered her face. Turning to see what she was referring to I saw someone carrying a thurible into the church, the small golden incense burner that hangs from chains and swings to release the smoke into the sanctuary. The smell of Frankincense startled my senses and I gasped. What was new to my daughter brought back a well of fourteen-year-old memories flooding through me. I turned to my husband, suddenly that young bride, full of wonder again, and cried, “it smells like Egypt!” He smiled and nodded and I knew he was back there again in his mind, too.
The six months we were part of the Coptic church in Egypt transformed us, one of those points in our lives where we diverged from who we had previously been into something altogether new. It was a phase of life in which every new experience overwhelmed us. I dwelled inside the memories in those moments sitting in the church with my family on Christmas Eve. I was transported to the stone walls of another church where my faith exploded into fresh places.
Nothing in my evangelical upbringing prepared me for seeing the demon-possessed woman writhing on the floor during the healing service at The Cave Church. My Western theology had no space for the quiet, yet forceful priest who commanded men in wheelchairs to stand. I watched in skepticism as thousands of people, Christian and Muslim alike, flooded through the village that housed all of Cairo’s garbage collectors and mounds of trash to the monastery hidden inside the recesses of Mokottam Mountain.
All skepticism evaporated like the smoke rising from the incense burners when I met Abouna Samaan, the man who the community called Father and who truly treated each person who came to him like a beloved child. A week after first meeting him we were on a bus with him and dozens of church members headed out into the desert to the retreat center under construction. Here we were, were two total outsiders, welcomed directly into the fold of the largest church in the Middle East.
The heaviness that settled over my chest that morning was as dense as my husband’s weighted blanket tangled around my feet. I kicked off the covers but the anxiety wouldn’t lift. It was one week into the Coronavirus crisis that had settled over our country like a dense fog.
It started on a normal Thursday when I picked the kids up from school. Headlines were trickling in about rising virus cases in the U.S. but when news came that afternoon of immediate school cancellation, we all felt sideswiped. The torrential news that followed overwhelmed me so that one week later I was lying under its weight.
Shame was another layer of heaviness over the anxiety. My husband still had a job, something I couldn’t say a month and a half earlier. I already worked from home so, while days now became a complicated balance of work, entertaining and educating the children, and keeping the house quarantine-clean, I still was able to work. We had the ability and privilege to stay home; others weren’t as fortunate.
My heart grew heavy with worries for friends stuck abroad or separated from their family, others who had to leave everything to return to their passport country, and our friends who still work among the rural poor and refugee communities in Bangladesh—the truly vulnerable. We had it easy compared to what we could have known had this happened a year ago when we were still living in Dhaka. The guilt said, “Shut up, you have nothing to complain about!”
But my children’s eyes told another story that shattered my heart. They were no strangers to living in limbo. While many of their friends in their suburban Georgia school were learning lessons for the first time about battling uncertainty in highly scheduled and planned lives, my children had become pros in the last few years. And their little hearts were weary.
hey were just six and eight when we told them we were moving to India. Once the shock abated, they were excited to dazzle their friends with stories of monkeys and cows in the streets. The first blow came when we were delayed by a few months due to visa issues. Then, after both my husband and I had quit our jobs in the U.S. and our house was ready to go on the market, the path to India completely collapsed.
Our lives became a series of delays, cancellations, rerouting, and waiting. Throughout the journey to our new home in Bangladesh and unexpectedly back again, we learned the hard way about living in the land of the unknown.
Living in Bangladesh, our family learned what it felt like to feel socially distant—separated from our family by 8000 miles but also from our neighbors by a language and cultural barrier. We knew loneliness well. Monsoon rains and protests would keep us isolated in our flat for days. We were constantly adjusting to new norms and the coursing emotions of culture shock that would strike unannounced. Our son asked us weekly when we would return to life as usual, longing for the familiarity of the U.S.
That was…until we told him we would be returning “home” after just a year and a half. Then he cried, “but Bangladesh is home now!” The bittersweet swirling of emotions didn’t end when we returned to our passport country either. We stepped into what we thought would be life as usual and found that we couldn’t ever go back. Georgia didn’t feel like home anymore and we had to start all over again. We then struggled through eight months of my unemployment and were barely a month into discovering a new normal…that the pandemic had upended again.
I was telling a friend how it pained me to see my kids plunged back into the void. My son’s angry outbursts masked his frustration at being isolated once more. My daughter’s thinly-veiled anxiety at possibly never going back to the school she was just becoming comfortable in was obvious when she emerged late at night, unable to rest.
“Write about it,” my friend said. “Everyone is feeling the strain of the uncertainty now, too. Tell them what you’ve learned.” And, you know, it made me feel so much less alone to think of it that way. We’re all in suspension together and no one is going to come out of this current crisis unscathed.
All of America is learning what it means right now to live in transition—stuck between the life they knew and an unknown future. We don’t know what tomorrow holds and each day there is plenty of fear waiting to tighten its stranglehold on us. This isn’t a transition any of us chose. But as I preach the lessons to myself that living in a state of limbo taught us, here’s what I know...
When we settled back in the U.S. last year after our living in South Asia, it felt like the world had moved on without us while we occupied another plane of existence altogether. We might as well have been returning from outer space. My family got used to living in partially packed houses or out of suitcases in someone’s guest room. We spent the last four years of our lives in one form or another of visible transition. out of suitcases in someone’s guest room. We spent the last four years of our lives in one form or another of visible transition.
When we stopped long enough to deal with how all the change had given us many gifts but also many scars, we opened our eyes to those in transition all around us. Ours was obvious because it included suitcases and tearful goodbyes.
But what about the friend who went back to work after years of staying home with the kids? There was the recently retired family member and a friend coming to grips with the limits her chronic illness gave her. We saw parents struggling with children’s learning difficulties or developmental stages, young adults stuck between college and “real life,” marriages falling apart and new families blending, moving between foster homes, adoption, leaving home, and returning to faith after years of anger with God. And these were just the people in our immediate circles!
I snatched up a copy of Gina Butz’s book Making Peace with Change: Navigating Life’s Messy Transitions with Honesty and Grace because I knew I needed it. It was obvious I was in the definition of a messy transition every time someone asked me how I was doing and tears started running down my cheeks. Having read some of Butz’s work before, I knew she also had lived overseas.
Making Peace with Change takes us through the often hidden parts of transition: hard, loss, desire, expectations, and grief...
A clump of dried Georgia clay crunched under my shoe. I sighed as I turned to grab the broom and sweep the floor again. I looked out the living room window at the mound of orangy-brown earth that had been the source of the mess. My husband took down a hundred trees a few months ago and left a jagged scar running through the yard. It is preparation for building the extension that will house a bedroom and bathroom eventually.
We put the build that will give our kids their own rooms on hold until our income is more reliable though. So a muddy heap of earth is a reminder of living in this in-between space of what is and what is yet to come.
I long for that more expansive home but there are so many steps needed to get there and so much cost associated. It’s going to be a mess for a long time before it is beautiful.
“I don’t feel like you don’t need to add anything else to your daily practice,” my spiritual director said. I wanted to believe her, to take her words as permission to feel like it is enough, like I am enough.
In response to her question of how I see God moving in my life, I mentioned how I am seeking God. I talked about trying to read through the daily office lectionary (a two-year cycle of Scripture for daily reading from the Book of Common Prayer), practice centering prayer, and take breaks throughout my workday in which I stop to pray and send encouraging messages to friends for which I am praying.
She could tell I was asking the question without saying it out loud: “Is this enough? Should I be doing more?” I feel like I’ve been wandering around in the wilderness for so long and I want to finally say I have it all figured out.
Friends who know me well tease me about my orderly way of living. I love to make plans. My house must be clean and organized before I can rest. What I am really after isn’t an orderly house; it is a well-ordered life.
“You make lists just so you can check things off them,” a friend recently said to me. I laughed in response. It was the nervous kind of laughter that says, “yes, this is true; I wish it wasn’t.” We were discussing personality types (How I am an ISFJ and particularly how the J-judging part of my Myers-Briggs type leads me to desire a structure and control).
I slipped into a rule-based faith in my teen years because it fit well into the way I saw the world. I could make lists and check them off. God fit nicely into a box inside my compartmentalized life and all was well...until it wasn’t.
Over the years, the lists kept multiplying. I couldn’t keep up and I felt like I couldn’t earn the love of God anymore with all my list-keeping.
When I first discovered contemplative prayer, I felt like it was the answer to the tyranny of lists that ruled my life. It was a slower, quieter way of encountering God. I was anxious and burned out and never felt any closer to the Presence of the one I wanted to please.
For a few years, I learned about and dabbled in contemplative practices. But instead of finding freedom, I added them to my ever-growing to-do’s. Finally, all the striving and anxiety left my soul in shambles. I couldn’t do any of it anymore. I couldn’t do anything but groan and hope that God understood that I had no more words.
As I tiptoe forward into what I hope are more life-giving rhythms of faith practice and spiritual formation for me in this season, I realize I am living a life under construction. I want to be living in the house already, the one that is inhabited daily by the sweeping winds of the Holy Spirit breathing new life into me. Don’t we all want to feel like that every day? We want to feel like we’ve arrived instead of wandering around in the wastelands.
My life is like the dirt heap I daily force myself to stare at outside my window. I needed to tear down a lot of things that were in my way. I needed to be still for a good while and just sit in the muck until I was ready to move on. And then sit a little while longer.
And that is how we build. First, we have to tear down what is between us and God. Maybe it’s a raging bit of ego in our own way, our own anxieties and expectations. Maybe it’s lies we’ve let ourselves believe. Maybe it’s a relationship that is broken or something we need to let ourselves grieve. An addiction. A sin. But we can’t keep building on a faulty foundation and expect our houses to not come tumbling down.
“The wilderness, by design, disorients,” said Rachel Held Evans. “As any wilderness trekker past or present will tell you, the wilderness has a way of forcing the point, of bringing to the surface whatever fears, questions, and struggles hide within.”
We spend so much of our lives trying to tidy up our filth, to find our way to the Promised Land at last. We miss the vibrant life that can exist right now, not sometime in the future when we have it all figured out.
I yawn as I wrap a blanket around my shoulders and head to the window. The mound of earth is but a shadow under the faint early morning light. I smile in the darkness, remembering it is there. I am growing fond of the grimy reminder that life isn’t perfect (and neither am I).
That is where God finds us, in the middle of all the ways we realize how much we need grace for our messes. I close my eyes and do the last thing I want to but the very thing I need. I thank God for the disorder, for the wandering, for all that has been torn down and is being rebuilt. For today, that is enough.
They felt litter thicker than matchsticks in my hands; her tiny fingers seemed like they could snap in an instant. I was mesmerized by her smallness in my arms though her presence filled my entire life. As I held my firstborn in the dark of her bedroom, humming a song to her in the same rocking chair in which my grandmother had rocked my mother and my mother had rocked me, I wept.
I had waited for this for so long, to hold her in my arms. I loved her fiercely as she inhabited my own body, her bottom pressing against my ribcage as I tried to sleep. But now that I held this tiny thing completely dependent on me, I was overwhelmed with her fragility. Her life had just begun and already there was a fear gripping me, the reality that she would be hurt in this life and that one day this life would end. This beginning was the beginning of an end.
In every season of a growing life, there is anticipation and longing for what is to come next. Her life only started and we waited to see her roll over for the first time, for that first smile of recognition at seeing her daddy’s face. We watched for her first steps and looking for her first tooth to appear. The moments fly and they never stop coming whether we eagerly wait for them or resist with all our might.
We barely grasp one tenuous moment before the next is upon us. I can recall just what those precious matchstick fingers felt like in my own palm even now as I wait for her womanhood to begin, watch her hips grow wider and her innocence turns to adolescent anxieties. The beginnings she is experiencing signal the end of her childhood.
They are nothing more than figurines, these images of mother and child that I place around my house every December. I have been collecting nativity scenes for years, enamored with images of the Christ child and the Holy Mother since I was a child myself. Sometimes when I look at them, I can’t help but weep...

Project published in a+t 44 Workforce A Better Place to Work 2
August 23, 2015
The upper gallery of an abandoned 1960s grain silo is the space where this project was undertaken. A 40 m long x 6.5 m wide unit was converted to an architectural studio located 38 m above the ground. By creating openings on the facade and making the most of the original materials the outcome was a setting with the appearance of an industrial shell into which less imposing elements could be inserted, such as the wooden crates which support the mezzanine level with the library, the desks, and the trees planted in the former openings for the grain pits.

Steering a radio-controlled (RC) model car is a skill. By turning the steering wheel, or pushing the stick on a transmitter, a radio signal sent to the car is turned into movement of the front wheels by a servo.
Using an electronic circuit and an electric motor, a servomechanism, or servo for short, obeys the exact movement of the driver. A small movement by the driver at the transmitter means a small movement by the servo to the wheels. Without a servo to do this job, the driver is not in control of the car!
On your RC car you will have at least one servo fitted to control the steering of the front wheels. These little black-box components come in a range of sizes, power, torque and a choice of analogue or digital.
If you bought your RC car complete, the servos that are fitted are capable of everything required. As you move up you may want to build your own car, or upgrade your existing model, and when it comes to choosing which servo the options can be overwhelming.
So let’s have a look at servos.
What is a Servo?
The servo is the device that is always used to control the steering of an RC car, and used to control the throttle on IC-engined (link to that definition) cars. They come as a single unit that contains all the electronics to control their motor, and a gearbox that leads to an output shaft. The mechanical steering mechanism is connected to the servo output shaft.
RC servos are very accurate in following the directions from the transmitter. This makes the servo very precise in controlling the motion of the cars. Servos are powered by a battery onboard the car so the electronics and the motor can do their jobs.
How does a servo work?
The performance of a servo is based on the control signals called pulsed signals that tell the motor where to go. These signals are received from the transmitter by a receiver in the car, also powered by the onboard battery, and then sent to the servo.
A servo plug has 3 wires – Power supply, ground and control signal. This plug goes into the receiver. The electrical power for the servo comes through the receiver from the onboard battery, so the receiver plug carries both the power for the motor and the signal from the transmitter, via the receiver.
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is the analogue method used to control a servo. The usual frequency of these PWM signals is 50 Hz, which is every 20 milliseconds. In simple terms, the servo is updated every 20 milliseconds. Today, the system is digital using Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM), as this digitally represents the analogue signal.
PCM is the technology used in cell ‘phones, cordless ‘phones, CDs and MP3players and for ISDN, the broadband connection you use to access the internet, send emails and post cat pictures on Instagram.
RC servos have a rotating shaft and a potentiometer that detects it position. When there is a pulse from the control signal, sent by the driver from the transmitter, it applies current to the motor that makes the shaft move until the potentiometer indicates that the position is in line with the width of the pulse. That movement is what the driver has asked for to control the model around the twists and turns of an RC car track.
Types of Servos
In the beginning servos used to come only in analogue form. Now they come in a digital form which is the common standard for all servos in the 2020s.
Before we determine which type of RC servo is better, let us have a look at the functionalities of both these types.
There is no physical difference between digital and analogue servos.
The components, circuit, mechanism, everything remains same. The whole difference is in the way the PWM signal is processed. Today, PCM technology interprets the analogue signal, reduces it to a series of digital ‘steps’, and then has that converted in the servo to an analogue movement of the servo output shaft.
Analogue systems used 50 pulses per second. Digital systems receive over 300 pulses per second! This not only improves the accuracy of the servo, it also improves the speed of the movement.
The digital servos have many more advantages over analogue servos. They are fast, have quick response, higher resolution and more power. More power means more power consumption from the onboard battery. However, the increase in power needed is so small compared to the capacity of the battery used, this is a minor drawback.
Today, almost every servo is ‘digital’ so the driver can buy any servo with confidence that it will work with their transmitter and receiver. Indeed, if you want an analogue servo you have to ask for one!
Selecting your servo
Servo selection depends on the type of car you drive – how heavy it is, how fast it goes, how much force it needs to turn the front wheels. The servo in a large-scale off-road car is about the size of a 12th scale Stockcar battery! Generally speaking, the larger the RC car, the larger the servo.
Servos are specified with two main measurements – how much torque, or turning force, they produce, and how long it takes to get from full right lock of the steering, to full left lock.
Servo torque is related to the force needed to steer the front wheels when the car is going at full speed on a high-grip track. Torque can be increased by changing the gear ratio from the servo motor to the output shaft. However, the more the speed of the motor is reduced to get more torque, the slower the servo will travel from lock to lock.
Slower steering makes a car less responsive on the track. Generally, this is not to be desired, but there is a point where the servo could be too fast and the car appears to be very unstable at high speed as it responds to the slightest touch on the steering by the driver.
If you buy a ready-to-run car then it will come with the correct servos you need. When buying a servo separately go to your local model shop and ask for advice. | <urn:uuid:dc9a28c9-13b9-4aca-88a9-f3b8517fb289> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://brca.org/get-started/guide-to-rc/what-is-a-servo | 2022-01-29T01:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.95074 | 1,312 |
Ottawa reported 2,425 new cases of COVID-19 on Sunday. OPH's update represents two days worth of data.
Ontario to stop reporting cases in schools, child-care settings.
A temporary testing centre in Stittsville has paused operations.
What's the latest
Ottawa Public Health reported 2,425 new COVID-19 cases on Sunday, representing two days worth of data. Two more people have also died.
Ontario reported another 16,714 COVID-19 cases on Sunday.
In response to updated provincial testing guidelines, a temporary COVID-19 assessment centre in Stittsville, that opened its doors last month, has paused operations. The centre was open Monday and Tuesday evenings and was run by the Kemptville District Hospital and providing services to approximately 1,000 residents in the area.
In some provinces, including Ontario, there have been changes to the duration of isolation periods for vaccinated individuals who test positive for COVID-19.
Under the new guidelines, they will only be required to self-isolate for a minimum of five days following the date when their symptoms started or a positive test.
Ottawa-Gatineau area confirmed COVID-19 cases
In Quebec, there are new restrictions in effect, including a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew. Residents received an alert on their phones shortly before 7 p.m. on New Year's Eve reminding them of the new rules.
The province has also ordered restaurants to close their dining rooms, which led to some tough decisions on New Year's Eve for the region's restaurateurs, and experts are offering guidance on how to cope with the emotional challenges ahead.
Meanwhile, two Ontario epidemiologists are warning that recent changes to the province's COVID-19 pandemic strategy risk uncontrolled transmission of the virus, while also limiting the ability to measure its spread.
How many cases are there?
Testing has recently fallen behind the demand caused by Omicron, meaning some people with COVID-19 won't be reflected in the case count as quickly. Hospitalizations and the wastewater levels can help fill in some of the grey areas.
As of Sunday, Ottawa has had 44,527 confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to Ottawa Public Health.
There are 8,593 known active cases, while 35,311 cases are considered resolved and 623 people have died from the illness.
As of Friday, local public health officials have reported more than 87,600 COVID-19 cases across eastern Ontario and western Quebec, including more than 68,100 cases now resolved. Elsewhere in eastern Ontario, 253 people with COVID-19 have died. In western Quebec, the death toll is 223.
Akwesasne has had more than 1,250 residents test positive for COVID-19 and has reported 18 deaths between its northern and southern sections.
What are the rules?
The province's private gathering limits under the threat of Omicron are 10 people indoors and 25 outside; businesses can reach 50 per cent capacity. Up to 10 people are allowed per table at a restaurant or bar.
Health units for the Belleville, Kingston and Leeds,Grenville and Lanark areas are asking residents to avoid in-person gatherings, as are councils for Akwesasne, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg and Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.
Indoor gatherings involving more than one household bubble are now prohibited, one of several new rules that came into effect New Year's Eve.
The province of Quebec has also implemented a curfew, meaning those found outside during the hours of 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. without a valid reason may face fines.
All schools will now remain closed until Jan. 17 but will provide remote learning wherever possible.
Restaurant dining rooms must also now close, as well as places of worship — although there are exceptions for funerals with no more than 25 guests.
Indoor sports have also been cancelled.
A vaccine passport is in place for most people age 13 and up in many public spaces. It won't apply to younger kids. People can use an app or show paper proof.
Other groups in the region are also coming out with their own COVID-19 vaccine policies, including for staff and visitors.
What can I do?
Health officials say people should recommit to the fundamentals of getting vaccinated, staying home when sick, getting tested if local circumstances allow and seeing as few people in person as possible.
When and how long to self-isolate can vary by community, by testing availability, by the type of exposure and by vaccination status.
Health Canada recommends older adults and people with underlying medical conditions get help with errands and have supplies in case they need to isolate.
Travellers more than 12 years and four months old must now be fully vaccinated to board a plane, train or marine vessel in Canada.
The federal government is officially advising against non-essential international travel until at least Jan. 12.
The U.S. requires everyone crossing a land, air or water border to be fully vaccinated. People flying there will need proof of a negative COVID test within a day of departure.
The hope is that other countries will accept provincial or territorial proof of vaccination.
Health Canada has approved Pfizer-BioNTech's vaccine for children as young as five. Both local provinces generally recommend doses for kids age five to 11 be given at least eight weeks apart, with limited exceptions.
Some health units are limiting Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines to those under the age of 30.
Everyone 18 and older in Ontario can now try to book third shots, though local resources don't always meet demand. The province has also shortened the interval required between second and third doses to 84 days.
People who are 60 and older can receive a third dose in Quebec, along with those who have certain health conditions.
There have been more than 4.1 million COVID-19 first, second and third vaccine doses administered in the wider Ottawa-Gatineau region, which has about 2.3 million residents.
Pharmacies and some family doctors offer vaccines through their own booking systems.
Clinics for children are in schools and kids will need written consent from a parent to be vaccinated there.
Siblings can be booked together in a single time slot and parents can check a box to signal if their child is nervous.
Symptoms and testing
"Long-haul" symptoms can last for months.
If you have severe symptoms, call 911.
In eastern Ontario:
Rapid and take-home tests are available in malls, libraries and LCBOs (when supplies allow), Kingston-area family doctor offices, and some child-care settings when risk is high. Students get a pack of test kits for the holiday break.
A positive rapid test will trigger a follow-up.
Travellers who need a test have local options to pay for one.
In western Quebec:
Tests are strongly recommended for people with symptoms and their contacts.
People can make an appointment or see if they're near a walk-in option online. They can also call 1-877-644-4545 with questions during hours the line is running.
Maniwaki's test site is relocating to 57 route 105 as of today.
Gargle tests are offered in some places instead of a swab.
First Nations, Inuit and Métis:
First Nations, Inuit and Métis people, or someone travelling to work in a remote Indigenous community, are eligible for a test in Ontario.
Akwesasne has COVID-19 test and vaccine clinics, with information online or at 613-575-2341.
Anyone in Tyendinaga who's interested in a test can call 613-967-3603 and should watch the website for dedicated vaccine clinics.
Inuit in Ottawa can call the Akausivik Inuit Family Health Team at 613-740-0999 for service, including testing and vaccines, in Inuktitut or English on weekdays. | <urn:uuid:3f929219-c922-49f0-af55-7d53f0be5d1c> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://ca.news.yahoo.com/know-covid-19-ottawa-sunday-090000978.html | 2022-01-29T02:06:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.958546 | 1,717 |
Anthropomorphic Ivory Amulet Mask “Ikoko”, Pende, Dem. Rep. of Congo.
This fine, old ‘Ikoko’ ivory pendant figure has a beautiful yellowish patina due to age. Stylistically it is cut as a ‘Mbuya’ chief’s mask with traditional hairstyle with three jags, closed eyes with hanging eyelids, ornamented headband and with holes for suspension.
Among the West Pende in western Congo these protective amulets made of ivory and other material were very popular.This ornament and amulet is reminiscent of a ‘Phumbu mask’, which always represents a chief in the mask dances of the Pende people.
Condition: Despite age and diligent use, this ivory pendant is in an exceptionally good condition. Beautiful golden yellow-brown patina. No damage or cracks beyond the natural ivory structures.
Age: First third of the 20th century. According to the heirs it is collected in situ around 1950th.
Measure: H: 75, W: 45, D: 30 millimeter – H: 2 3/4 “, W: 1 49/64”, D: 1 3/16” – weight: 81 grams.
Provenience: Belgian private collection. According to the heirs collected in situ about1958.
Literature: David M. Gordon; ‘Kingdoms of South-Central Africa’: Sources, Historiography, and History
Collector guarantees the ivory used is antique, and the figure was made pre-1947, and therefore permitted under to the CITES treaty.Request price for Ivory Mask | <urn:uuid:8a3e081a-8ea5-4dae-b36a-b5e021f05abe> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://christas.dk/ivory-mask/ | 2022-01-29T01:44:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.906578 | 357 |

β-Barrel membrane proteins often fluctuate among various open substates, yet the nature of these transitions is not fully understood. Using temperature-dependent, single-molecule electrophysiology analysis, along with rational protein design, we show that OccK1, a member of the outer membrane carboxylate channel from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, features a discrete gating dynamics comprising both enthalpy-driven and entropy-driven current transitions. OccK1 was chosen for the analysis of these transitions, because it is a monomeric transmembrane β-barrel of a known high-resolution crystal structure and displays three distinguishable, time-resolvable open substates. Native and loop-deletion OccK1 proteins showed substantial changes in the activation enthalpies and entropies of the channel transitions, but modest alterations in the equilibrium free energies, confirming that the system never departs from equilibrium. Moreover, some current fluctuations of OccK1 indicated a counterintuitive, negative activation enthalpy, which was compensated by a significant decrease in the activation entropy. Temperature scanning of the single-channel properties of OccK1 exhibited a thermally induced switch of the energetically most favorable open substate at the lowest examined temperature of 4 °C. Therefore, such a semiquantitative assessment of the current fluctuation dynamics not only demonstrates the complexity of channel gating but also reveals distinct functional traits of a β-barrel outer membrane protein under different temperature circumstances.

If I were to use one word to describe my 9 weeks in Nicaragua with FNE International, I would choose GRIT.
Grit was the energy and dedication that I saw in my colleagues, whether it was conducting medical research in Chacraseca to improve Diabetes treatment outcomes, constructing efficient brick stoves for families experiencing poverty, or helping a young disabled man get the wheelchair he needed to move around his own house.
Grit was the determination I saw in Rebecca Hervieux, when she was breaking bricks with a machete on the side of a steep barrio in Matagalpa, driving through rough country roads on the way to visit families in need of resources in Chacraseca, or when she was wrangling 12 young kids and planting all sorts of interesting plants at the Nino Feliz special needs school’s new sensory garden.
Grit was the realization when we were interviewing families in Las Penitas that there was so much need and so much work to be done, and feeling the energy and motivation to complete it. We walked through the neighborhoods, and talked to an old woman who lived in a shack with walls made of tarps, old flags, and black plastic sheets. She cooked food for her, her blind and mute daughter, and her grandson off of a table stove, with fumes and smoke from the wood coming into her house and her lungs. She had no way of making a decent income and had to walk through thick, dangerous brush to reach their latrine. Yet through all this, she maintained a hope that change would be coming. I heard the communities’ pastor take her aside after we talked about what FNE could do to improve her family’s life, and say “see, this is how God does his work, little by little in small changes that make big differences.”
In Chacraseca, I taught preschool with Profesora Blanca Rosa, and in between teaching the differences between triangles and squares, blue and green, and the numbers 5 and 6, I realized that some of the children there didn’t have more than one notebook, and many had no crayons to color with at home. When a young girl came in repeatedly without completing her homework, Profesora took her aside to help her because she realized her parents probably didn’t have the time or the educational capacity to teach her at home. When a handful of children couldn’t color their shapes at home, FNE staff brought by crayons that were given out to the children who needed them. Childhood was still just as playful and thriving, but the size of the barriers loomed- resources were scarce and everything was precious. Being able to go to the library in Chacraseca to help buy craft materials for the next week’s color lesson meant that Profesora didn’t have to search high and low for material for her students. It also meant that her students could go somewhere safe and calm to read a new book, build a new craft, or simply feel welcomed. It meant that she could do her job better and set her students up for success no matter the barriers their families will face. Sitting and waiting to ride the bus back to Leon with Profesora Blanca, sharing stories and laughing about life, I realized that this woman dedicates her energy, her time, and her own money to seeing these children learn and grow up with good morals. That was grit right there.
Through all of these and many more experiences, I realize that FNE International is the kind of organization that really understands the people that they serve. There are many organizations that go into communities without truly listening to the people who live there. But at every turn, programs and projects were constantly evaluated to determine whether they were truly achieving the goal they set out to achieve in the beginning. And when things needed to change, the staff and volunteers and community partners did not respond negatively, but renegotiated and made new plans to best help the people of Nicaragua.
My summer working with FNE International changed my life, and as I am beginning my journey of obtaining my Master’s in Social Work here in the United States, I carry the lessons learned in beautiful Nicaragua into every interaction. I remember to use the grit I discovered in myself, and I am determined to return and utilize my own skills to further the healing and growth that FNE International fosters. I can’t recommend FNEI enough to those around me, and I have nothing but love and respect for the wonderful staff and community members that I worked with there. I’ll miss being in Nicaragua but until then it has left its permanent mark on my heart. | <urn:uuid:97992849-7a23-41ec-ba8f-4e37624e082f> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://fneinternational.org/posts/robin | 2022-01-29T02:02:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.980592 | 962 |

In this post: We’ve updated our powder room no less than three times since we moved here two years ago. But finally, we have a powder room makeover we love!
This post was sponsored by Lowe’s Canada. All opinions are as always, our own. See our full disclosures and policies here.
If you’ve been reading our blog or following us on social media for very long, you might be confused. Maybe you remember seeing a powder room makeover already at our house?
You wouldn’t be wrong.
This is the third time we’ve actually made over the same powder room.
Why Another Powder Room Makeover?
Just over two years ago, when we first moved here, our main floor powder room/half bath was painted orange….with a mauve cabinet and brown accents. I kid you not. It was dubbed the ‘fall bathroom’ by our daughter.
I loved having a main floor bathroom, but I hated how this one looked.
Almost immediately, I painted the room black (Sealskin, by Sherwin Williams) in the hopes that that would disguise, or at least tone down, the purple-y cabinet. It was somewhat helpful.
Then a little later, we painted the cabinet white and added a new sink and counter. What we didn’t fully realize was that the cabinet I loathed so much was a weird custom size that had been built in-place. Which meant it didn’t actually fit a regular countertop and sink! There was a crazy amount of overhang at the front which left the bathroom feeling crowded and small. The room was definitely nicer, but still not great at all.
But alas, as much as I disliked the look of the bathroom, as is often the case with things like this, there was no budget at the time to fix it.
What Prompted this Makeover Now?
When we found out that CRAFTSMAN was launching their tool line at Lowe’s, RONA, Reno-Depot, and Ace retailers, Dean really wanted to check them out. I, of course, got thinking about new projects that we could use CRAFTSMAN tools to create! And we finally had a bit of budget to do a real makeover.
For ages, I’ve pictured installing cedar plank ceilings in our master closet, laundry room and main floor powder room. Since I still really didn’t love our powder room as it was – even after two makeovers – I also imagined installing classic beadboard paneling on the walls in there.
These projects popped to the top of the list, when Dean got the the CRAFTSMAN 3 Tool & Air Compressor Combo Kit!
The 6 Gallon Air Compressor features an oil-free pump for maintenance-free operation. The 18 Ga Brad Nailer drives 18GA nails from 5/8-in. to 2-in. in length and is perfect for small trim, shoe molding, and baseboards. The 16GA Straight Finish Nailer drives 16GA nails from 1-in. to 2-1/2-in. in length and is perfect for shoe moldings, baseboards, and crown molding. The 3/8-in. Stapler drives heavy duty staples from 1/4-in. to 9/16-in. for multiple applications.
We mainly used the Compressor and Brad Nailer for our powder room makeover.
Farmhouse Style Powder Room Makeover with Beadboard Walls & a Cedar Plank Ceiling
So, how about we look at how the powder room makeover turned out?!
We left the toilet and flooring in place. There was nothing wrong with them, so there was no need to change them. We also re-installed our open shelving above the toilet.
The vanity was replaced and we got a new faucet. We also got a new light fixture and moved the mirror into here from the dining room.
This is now one of my favorite rooms in the house. I know it’s silly, but it’s just so pretty!
Tips for Installing a Cedar Plank Ceiling & Beadboard Paneling
Depending on your room, installing a cedar plank ceiling and beadboard paneling on the walls isn’t too difficult. Here are a few tips we learned along the way:
- Remove everything from the room, so you don’t have to work around any obstacles.
- Use reliable tools to get the job done. Have you checked out the other product line up available from CRAFTSMAN? They have an extensive product line up so you’re sure to find everything you need for your project.
- Start with the ceiling first.
- Tack the cedar tongue and groove up one piece at a time. Then neatly add more nails when it’s all in place.
- When you get to the last couple pieces of cedar tongue and groove, get them fitted and then nail them in place.
- Remove baseboards before installing the beadboard panels.
- When you start the beadboard, start with full pieces in the most visible spots. Try to place seams where they’ll be less visible.
- Use a good nailer for the installation!
- Caulk the corners where new panels meet, but not where panels meet on flat walls.
- Fill nail holes in the beadboard with hole filler. Sand smooth before painting.
- If you’re installing crown molding, like we did, caulk along the bottom of the crown where it meets the beadboard. But do not caulk where it meets the cedar tongue and groove.
- Caulk the top of the baseboard where it meets the beadboard for a nice neat seam.
Powder Room Makeover Video Tour
Because this bathroom is on the small side at only 5′ by not quite 6′, a video tour may give you a better idea of how the space actually looks and flows:
Want to give your bathroom a little spruce up, but not quite ready for a full makeover? Check out these 10 ways to freshen up your bathroom without a big renovation!
Have you made over any rooms in your house multiple times? If so, which one? Have you ever installed beadboard or cedar tongue and groove?

By Syed Burhan
Srinagar- The patients at Valley's sole trauma hospital –the Bone and Joint Barzulla, on Tuesday were seen standing in long queues as two of the three X-Ray Machines at the Hospital were not functioning due to "technical" fault.
The patients were writhing with pain as they were standing in que,waiting for their turn.
Many attendants could be seen carrying their patients to the private x-ray labs outside the hospital.
"You can see my patient is not in a position to move out, but we are forced to go for an X-ray outside as the machine hasn't been made functional," said Mohammad Ramza, an attendant from Srinagar.
While patients had a tough time amidst unbearable cold weather, the administration of the hospital said that the matter is being looked into and machines would be made functional at the earliest.
Talking to Kashmir Observer, Medical Superintendent Dr Suhail Mian accepted that two out of three machines are not functioning and the administration will fix the issues as soon as possible.
"One of the X-ray machines stopped working due to an electrical fault and we will get one restored by tomorrow; the other one may take some time” he said.
He said the sensor of another machine got damaged and we have placed an order for the same. When asked how long it is going to take he said “we never know, it may take a while”.
Sources from the hospital told Kashmir Observer that x-ray machines at the hospital are very old and prone to damage.
on 15 January 2015, both the machines in the hospital had gone defunct and the admin couldn't repair it for months.
On 14 January 2018, the machine at the hospital once again lay defunct for several months as authorities failed to repair it on time.

Today more people are reading Kashmir Observer than ever, but only a handful are paying while advertising revenues are falling fast. | <urn:uuid:af61e02a-5346-4379-ad6c-48809b974628> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://kashmirobserver.net/2021/11/30/x-ray-machines-defunct-at-bone-and-joints-hospital-patients-suffer/ | 2022-01-29T02:39:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.974734 | 502 |
With the triathlon season now in full swing, members of King’s Lynn Triathlon Club were once again out in force over the weekend.
Debbie James raced her first open-water event at Blenheim Palace on Sat, a 750m OWS in the lake, 20km undulating bike then 5.4km run around the Queen’s pool with the transition in the palace’s courtyard. It is one of the largest sprint triathlon in the country and this year attracted almost 4000 entrants. Her training and hard work showed, finishing 8th in her AG and 86th woman overall in a time of 1hr34min (17min25/42min/27min15). Afterwards, she said she absolutely loved the open water over the pool swim and even managed to not get lost on the bike. She was raising funds for Bloodwise, and donations are still being taken at www.justgiving.com/Debbie-james10.
Sunday saw 9 members racing at Tallington Lakes. Anna Seaman opted for the Aquathlon, a 1.5km swim followed by a 10km run and finished 2nd in her age group with a time of 1hr27 (33min31/50min51). For everyone else, it was the Olympic triathlon that beckoned and the distances involved were the same as the Aquathlon, but with the added fun of a 48Km bike ride between the swim and the run. Despite adding and extra 4km to his bike, Jamie Sparrow was first home for the club in a time of 2hrs36 (25min11/1hr22/45min) and earned himself an AG win, 7th overall and the fastest T1 of the event. The next four members to cross the line were either chasing each other down, or trying not to get caught. Chris Playford held the lead to come home 3rd in his AG with a 2hr49:39 (26min09, 1hr26, 54min) after being chased on the run by Steve Bowdery who finished in 02hrs49:58 (30min42/ 1hr28, 47min), who in turn tried very hard not to get caught by Neil Gayton in 02hrs50:39 (30min32, 1hr32, 45min), who himself just out ran Adrian Ebbs who came 1st in his AG with a time of 02hrs50:59 (33min12, 01hr29, 45min). Only 80secs separated all four at the finish. Dave Hicks produced a brilliant 03hrs15 (31min48/1hr37/1hr02), closely followed by Jemma Redhead who posted the 3rd fasted womens’ bike split and picked up 3rd in her AG in 03hrs18 (35min43/1hr33/ 1hr06). Jenna Gotts rounded off the results with a finish time of 3hrs38 (36min46/1hr43/1hr03).
The club also held their first open water swimming taster session of the year at the weekend. They swim every Sat morning at the Ouse Sailing Club and run special sessions for both adults and juniors new to OWS throughout the summer. If you think you might be interested, details can be found on their website at www.kltri.co.uk and their next adult taster session will be in July. | <urn:uuid:b9fbbca7-cfb8-4d53-9e96-16637f8faae7> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://kltri.co.uk/news?view=article&id=63:fun-in-the-sun-for-kltc&catid=41 | 2022-01-29T02:00:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.973681 | 709 |
Up late-ish, and catch up a bit on my blog, then have to hit the road.
Loaded the bike. Settled the bill, and headed out. Made sure to swing along the river, then Salamanca here I come.
Was a nice run. Gently heading downhill, then along rolling plains. Full of poppies. Did I tell you that the country-side is full of wildflowers. And poppies being red, really stand out. I have never seen anything like this. Acres, and acres, and acres of wildflowers. With the poppies stealing the show. No wonder Major John McCrae penned his poem.
Hopefully we are all doing our bit to ensure the torch is held up high. In what ever way we can to ensure this world is a better place tomorrow than it is today.
And what is a better place? Well, I have said it before, and I will say it again, read this ‘Thought of the Moment‘. Acemoglu&Robinson really make the case for an open and inclusive society. Do read their book, if you have not already.
And that is what thinking of the open road gets you into. Philosophy 🙂 For the road is just like life. You start off heading somewhere, along a road you think you have chosen, and all sorts of factors come into play.
And when you have reached a destination, you can reflect on the choices, surprises and overall experience.
So where did my road take me today? Thursday, 2016 June 2nd?
The empty countryside formed into Salamanca. A place made known to me through the TV series, Sharpe’s Rifles, based on this book. But this version looked real, lively and full of history.
I rode through the town in a variety of directions, eventually ending up here.
Right by Taberna Charra, selling tapas, caffe-con-leche and aqua mineralle con gaz. Perfect. The sausage tapas WAS perfect. With the pork-belly a close second :):):)
Those with a guilty conscience may wish to choose another location. Priests frequent this establishment. hahaha
Cleaned my visor (bugs). And rode on to Toledo.
Next stop was Avila, to refuel. Outstanding vista. I rode around a bit to make sure it was true. Straight out of the story-books.
And then a bit of awesome countryside, en route to Toledo. Gentle twisties, on hilly terrain, with a backdrop of larger hills, then mountains. And the trees, that looked like broccoli florets, but were pine trees.
No wonder Michelin has this section of road designated as scenic.
And then Toledo.
Even more awesome.
Built on a natural outcrop of rock, this is a walled city par-extrodinaire.
Probably the worst kept secret is that the Alcazar has a cafeteria above the public library. Caffe+jus naranja for <3Euros, and a view to die for 🙂 Talking of which. Someone should have warned me, that one of Toledo's specialties is marzipan! And it is GOOD here. Really good. I continued my perturbations through the city, having booked into a pension for the night, and parked on the street. Found a Da Vinci exhibit, fresh fruit&veggies market, loads of architecture, statues and squares to explore. Then supper. I wanted soup and steak, and found a touristico menu that gave just that. Found my way back, without a map. Plugged in my MagicJack and made a couple of calls to North America. Wrote up this blog.

The hiding place was found in the village of Papiskiai, Utena District, northeastern Lithuania. It was the latest of the known partisan hideouts, built in 1960.
"The hideout is also unique it terms of another two features as its walls are not wooden, as it was done usually, but built from stones, therefore, the hideout's space remain unchanged," the center said.
It also noted that the building sequence was also unusual as the hiding place was installed first and then a bread-making furnace and a house was built on top of it.
The KGB found part of the hideout in 1965 when Kraujelis-Siaubunas was hiding there. Due to its uniqueness, the hideout's model was used as an educational instrument at the KGB higher school in Moscow.
The hideout was installed at a homestead owned by Antanas Pinkevicius who was married to a sister of Kraujelis-Siaubunas' wife. It was the partisan's last hiding place.
Kraujelis-Siaubunas went into the woods to fight the Soviet occupation in 1948 and was involved in partisan activities in the Aukstaitija (Highlands) region. He shot himself on March 17, 1965, encircled by KGB officers.
Archeologists had been looking for his remains for several decades. Kraujelis-Siaubunas' remains were found in June, 2019 at Orphans' Cemetery in Vilnius were the remains of partisan commander Adolfas Ramanauskas-Vanagas had earlier been found. The identity was confirmed through genetic tests.
Kraujelis-Siaubunas was buried at Antakalnis Cemetery in Vilnius in October, 2019.
He's been awarded several state awards posthumously.
Lithuania's armed fight for the restoration of independence took place since 1944 until 1953 but individual partisan resistance continued for many years afterwards. | <urn:uuid:ceba5693-4e7b-4e36-a856-8cfb9d131789> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://m.delfi.lt/en/article.php?id=85868143 | 2022-01-29T01:36:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.992543 | 412 |

No cooking method except deep-frying results in such a contrast of a crispy outside and tender inside. Just see how much seafood is fried, not only at home, but also in restaurants. Many an eatery has built a lasting reputation on the basis of “Calabash” cooking — the fried seafood named after the Carolina location. Mariner’s Menu shares a recipe for Deep Fried Flounder.
The seafood Mary Dudley Price remembers from her childhood in Tarboro and Raleigh came in cans or was salt-preserved. “Only oysters could be had fresh, and they were ladled out from large tins into quart and pint cardboard containers such as were used later to haul goldfish home from the store,” says Price. Every now and then when her family got hungry for oyster soup, she and her sister, Josephine, would head from their Oakwood home down New Bern Avenue in Raleigh to a little “mom-and-pop” grocery for the fresh, juicy shellfish.
Parchment can be cut into rectangular or oval shapes. But the classic pattern is a heart shape. Mariner’s Menu shares a recipe for Flounder with Fresh Mushrooms in Parchment. Mariner’s Menu shares a recipe for Flounder with Fresh Mushrooms in Parchment.

Suriname trounce Guyana 65 – 56 in CBC U16 Championships
After clinching a nail biting opening win, Guyana fell 56 – 65 to Suriname in their second game of the 2016 Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) U16 Championships at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Monday.
For Suriname, the win was a redemption for their tournament opening game loss to Jamaica on Sunday as the Dutchmen played with grit and passion for the entirety of the game while Guyana shot themselves in the foot in turnover laden performance.
Guyana’s inability to take care of the ball (36 turnovers) coupled with their poor shooting from the field (25.71%) and the stripe (41.3%) allowed Suriname to pull away in the fourth for an eventual comfortable win in a game that was competitive nevertheless.
In addition, Guyana’s inability to move the ball with only seven assists in the entire game only made matters worse for the host nation.
Andrew Blijd top scored for Suriname with 18 points while Keatan Weibolt contributed 13 points as well to help Suriname pull off the win.
Scoring for Guyana came from Nigel Bowen and Jordan Alphonso with 14 points apiece while Bowen had 11 rebounds and Alphonso 12.
Earlier, Guyana started the game with a quick 5-0 run but their lack of defensive rebounding in the first period negated any chances of expanding the early lead.
However, Guyana countered the ferocious rebounding of Suriname with an up-tempo pace that got them buckets at the rim as well as some points at the stripe.
On the defensive side Guyana seemed willing to give up perimeter shots in the first half instead of drives to the lane, however, Suriname’s continued to pound the glass for garbage points with the first half ending with Guyana ahead 29-26.
Rebounding remained key for Suriname in the third, taking the lead for the first time in the game with 3:27 left in the period.
The Dutch speaking nation also had their three-point shot working in the period dropping three for the period while attempting six shots from beyond the arc in the third quarter.
In addition, Guyana gave up the rock on a number of possessions with careless pass after to pass to allow Suriname to head into the fourth with a 45-40 lead.
Suriname pulled away in the fourth and while Guyana made a few attempts to get back in the game, Suriname’s feisty defence quelled any fired that started. (Treiston Joseph)

Friends love to talk about horror stories surrounding their travel adventures. However, most of them could have been avoided simply through solid planning. If you want to avoid the problems that come along with poor vacation planning, read on for some great advice.
Picking aisle seats is the best way to give yourself options. Window seats can be very restricting in terms of bathroom access and overhead storage access.
As you plan your vacation, try and be open minded about the destination. Favorite vacation spots may be fun, but you can make your vacation more interesting and memorable if you vary your destination. Your choice of destination can often be the money saver when you’re on a tight budget.
Be vigilant when dealing with local police or other officials, in case they’re not who they claim to be, but instead are imposters. You should always check credentials, and avoid releasing your passport or official documents to these individuals. If they state you must go to an office, offer to walk the distance with them. Don’t ride with someone you don’t know.
A doorstop may be of help if you’re going to be in a hotel in a not-so-great area. Normally, these handy wedges are employed in keeping doors open, but you can use them to ensure that doors remain shut too.
When taking a cruise, find a good hotel in the port city that provides free or low cost parking and make plans to arrive the day before your departure. Always ask the hotel staff for the policies and pricing on parking at the hotel and whether deals are available.
When traveling with a toddler, you have to bring along things that will keep him interested and happy during the trip. Their favorite toys are a must when packing. You can also buy a couple of new toys for the travel because this will offer him enough distraction to keep him busy.
Always be kind, and tip your bell waiter and housekeeper daily. This will make your stay much more pleasant. Standard tipping rates are a dollar per bag carried, and around $2-5 per day to the maid. Tipping will show your appreciation for their work, and will help you maintain a good relationship with hotel staff.
Many stores overcharge for these products, minimizing your savings. Use techniques such as rolling your clothing or make use of vacuum packaging. Doing this can give you a surprising amount of space in your suitcase.
If you’re traveling abroad, make sure you know the type of insurance coverage that the credit card companies already offer you. You might be already covered for cancelled flight that get charged to the card. Conducting research prior to leaving is worth it.
When you travel, try to obtain the “local” rate at a hotel. Many hotels offer local deals in order to fill empty rooms. If someone you know lives in the city you’re traveling to, see if they can call and find out if there are any special offers available. This simple step can end up saving you a lot of money.
Any great vacation can go awry if proper research time is not used in the planning. Reading reviews from others who have traveled to your destination is key. Reading about their experiences will help you make the best choices and avoid the worst places.
If you are going on a road trip, factor in time for service stops. When you’re traveling on the road, you can run across long stretches in which there are not many stops or any stops for helping you to maintain or service your vehicle. Plan the route you want to take, and keep an eye out for stations in the area that can take care of your vehicle if you need it. Keep their phone numbers close at hand as you travel.
Finally, the reason there are so many bad vacation stories is that many people are unprepared for travel. Use the advice in this article to easily plan and prepare for your next vacation or business trip. | <urn:uuid:ff286900-9284-443c-817e-bd526149e734> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://newzealandtours.net.nz/planning-a-vacation-anywhere-without-the-help-of-a-travel-agent/ | 2022-01-29T02:14:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.954229 | 803 |
When you start your dryer, you have the reasonable expectation that your dryer cycle will finish. Depending on what you are drying, this doesn’t necessarily mean that the laundry inside will be dry, but the cycle will have run in full anyway. If you start a dryer cycle, it runs for a while, but never fully completes that cycle, then there is a problem. Your clothes will get dry eventually, but you shouldn’t have to come back to your clothing every few minutes to start the dryer again.
One of the unexpected issues with this problem is that the starting of a dryer is the most intensive process it runs. This means it uses the most energy and causes a lot of wear. You may keep limping along with a dryer that stops mid-cycle, but you will notice a huge rise in energy bills because of it.
There are multiple causes of this issue. Some of those causes are easier for the homeowners to fix on their own compared to others. If the below causes seem a little beyond your repair skills, you will want to contact a professional to make sure the job gets done.
The Appliance is Overheating
Usually when the dryer stops in the middle of the cycle, it should be an event meant with suspicion, as ignoring it could be dangerous. The most common culprit is that while drying your clothing, the dryer overheated. It tripped the safety features and the dryer shut off to prevent it from starting a fire.
There may be some additional bad news about this. The safety feature that stops the dryer if it gets too hot is the thermal fuse. This will cut the electricity to the heating element or the dryer itself. Unfortunately, the thermal fuse is a one-time use part. This means that once it trips because of overheating, you need to replace it. Not doing so could result in the dryer not starting at all, or starting, but running with no heat. Regardless, because it is a one-time use part, it is easily accessible near the exhaust hose. Of course, you will need to also track down what is causing the overheating issue.
As for what made your dryer overheat and stop mid-cycle, the most common culprit is lint. If you are not in the habit of cleaning your lint filter, you should be. It should be emptied before drying every load. Letting it just build up means lint escapes into the exhaust hose and possibly the vent in your home. This holds that moist, hot air and restricts the flow. It causes heat to build up in the dryer until the safety measures kick in or a fire starts. Ideally, you don’t want to have to lean on your safety measures, though.
Condenser and Condenser Tray Issues
For some owners, they don’t own the common vented dryer. Instead, they own ventless models. The ventless models use a sort of condensation system. This means the moisture is dried from your clothes, but because there is no vent to remove that moist air, the moisture is instead collected in a tray. If you have this model of the dryer, the condensation system can cause it to stop mid-cycle.
The simplest reason that condensation dryers stop mid-cycle is that the condensation tray is full. This tray needs to be emptied, ideally after each use, so it doesn’t overflow. If this is imminent, your dryer will trigger a safety mechanism that shuts off the appliance.
Alternatively, this could also happen because the condenser is blocked. This is the part that removes the water from the air that passes over it. Near the end of dryer cycles, lint can waft up and get stuck on it. As such, it needs to be checked on a monthly basis so it doesn’t clog and shut off your dryer to prevent issues. You will want to remove it and rinse the lint off it.
The Power Supply is Faulty
If your dryer just stops in the middle of a cycle, a good instinct would be to suspect that it was not getting enough power. You will first want to check the cord.
Is it fully plugged into the outlet?
Does the cord look to be in good shape?
If there is any melting or cuts in the cord, you will want to replace it. If you see any scorching around the electrical outlet, you will want to investigate the electricity in your home.
It is also possible that the fuse inside the plug has tripped or the dryer tripped the circuit breaker. If you continue to have a dryer that trips the circuit breaker, you want to discontinue use until you find out why it is drawing so much power.
As this issue deals with electricity, you will highly want to consider allowing a professional to make the repair. Changing a fuse is rather simple, but investigating further electrical issues can be dangerous if done haphazardly.
The Door Opened During the Cycle
In order to not waste energy and spew clothing everywhere, the dryer comes with a safety mechanism that will stop function when the dryer door is open. Check to make sure no one opened the door. You may also find the cycle paused if this did happen recently.
If the door is closed and no one did in fact open the dryer, it is possible that either the door latch or the door switch is failing. You can test these parts with a multimeter to make sure they are still working properly. You will also want to physically inspect the latch to make sure it isn’t loose, bent, or broken. When testing the switch contacts, make sure you test them in both positions to get an accurate read.
Replacing the actual door latch is pretty simple, but the switches will require some disassembly of your dryer that you may not be comfortable doing. However, if you can remove the outer casing, the switch is actually just really an unplug and replace sort of repair. The most difficult part is reaching it. | <urn:uuid:60c993dc-435c-41da-83ec-7d657ba4dc81> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://paradiseapplianceservice.com/dryer-repair/why-does-my-dryer-keep-stopping-mid-cycle/ | 2022-01-29T01:34:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.954768 | 1,250 |
This paper presents an analysis of the stresses in V-section band clamps by examining the correlation between experimental work and theoretical models. Theoretical models incorporating traditional beam-bending theories and allowing for friction were developed to calculate the stress distribution and displacements within the clamps.
The theoretical models demonstrated that the normal manufacturing tolerances associated with this type of component, combined with the uncontrolled operating parameters, will produce a wide variation in working stresses. These theoretical models were validated using strain and displacement measurements from a test with a V-section band clamp positioned around rigid flanges. The experimental results all fell within the range of stresses predicted by the theoretical models. The paper provides a knowledge base for the rational design of V-section band clamps.

Sony will not disclose the total cost of creating the PlayStation 3, which has been in development for six years. But analysts say the sum reaches into the billions of dollars. Sony has revealed that it spent $2 billion on one major component alone, the high-speed Cell microprocessor, co-developed with I.B.M. and Toshiba.With such vast investments, analysts estimate Sony will have to sell 30 million to 50 million units just to break even. To be the sort of mega-hit that Sony needs, analysts say the new game console will at the minimum have to outdo its predecessor, PlayStation 2, which has sold 106 million units since 2000.
Sony is also counting on PlayStation 3 to promote other technologies that it has developed, the Blu-ray next-generation DVD drive as well as the Cell chip. These technologies give the new PlayStation more processing power and sharper graphics than rivals, but also makes it expensive: a model with a 60-gigabyte hard drive will list at $599 in the United States, and one with a 20-gigabyte drive will be $499. […] And even at those prices, most analysts say, Sony will be selling below production costs, and possibly losing hundreds of dollars a machine. | <urn:uuid:fdd5468d-82e8-484a-b4a7-daefba055352> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://redwoodlake.net/blog/2006/11/13/sell-at-a-loss-and-make-it-up-in-volume/ | 2022-01-29T01:21:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.954944 | 253 |

For public prayer in modern churches you really need to go back to the Old Testament.
Isaiah 56:7 KJV Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Technically I cannot think of a publicly led prayer in the Temple. Solomon led a prayer outside of the Temple and Daniel prayed three times a day towards Jerusalem. In Matthew 6:5, Jesus talks of those praying in synagogues and streets, but overall his comment is not favorable.
There are many verses in the New Testament referring to prayer. The first part of James 5:16 is often overlooked.
James 5:16 KJV Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
I firmly believe the men who get up and pray should pray Matthew 6:9-13. I cannot think of a time in any church where I have heard this prayed, but it is how our Savior, Jesus Christ, instructed us to pray. When listening to another pray in their own words I have to pause and consider if I agree. There have been times when I just pray Matthew 6:9-13 silently during public prayer. | <urn:uuid:a349b000-58f5-4370-8f2b-90b7355361fc> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://saltwaterheart.com/tag/matthew-69-13/ | 2022-01-29T01:00:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.961148 | 288 |
1972 was a year that started out with such promise. Bradford College, both my wife Laura’s alma mater and employer, announced a new program specializing in urban studies. They recruited and hired a Director who spent a few months formulating the curriculum. What he came up with is that the one-year program would be based in London and would include field studies in various European cities, including Amsterdam, Prague, and Edinburgh. He also announced open positions for faculty and an administrative assistant. Laura got the job, and I got to tag along as co-houseparent for the students. We were of the ripe old age of 24.
We had a a free apartment, an American-sized salary, school vacations, and “required” trips to exotic European cities. It seemed too good to be true.
The first cracks in the veneer of perfection, could be seen within 48 hours of our arrival in London. The entire program was housed in an elegant Georgian Row House. Elegant, yes, but convenient by American standards, not so much? The toilets didn’t work like those in America, the bacon served for breakfast tasted different, the only coffee was instant … the litany of complaints escalated to a clamor, then a barrage. These were Ugly American adolescents throwing tantrums. Not to worry, the program Director assured us. These are normal issues of transition. The kids will adjust.
Then a week in, a bombshell. The Director, our fearless leader, resigned abruptly. The reason, apparently was domestic, not professional, but no matter … A week later he and his family were gone. The mantle of authority was passed down to his newly-hired associate Dean, a freshly-minted law school grad, a 25 year-old barely a month into his first job. Moreover, in subsequent weeks it became apparent that he was sleeping with one of the students. That didn’t help.
This made the students, already immature and spoiled, hysterical. The first semester can only be described as a cluster fuck. Ah, but the prospect of the Christmas break offered hope. Finally we could get away from the little bastards. We planned elaborately. We would be taking the overnight boat-train across the channel to spend time in Heidelberg, Germany and the Black Forest before heading back to the Alsatian region of France where we would celebrate New Year’s Eve in Strasbourg, France. I even knew what we would be having for dinner, a dish I read about in Gourmet Magazine called Truite au Bleu (Blue Trout), in which the trout is so fresh that it practically quivers on your plate.
The day of departure came at long last. The channel crossing was rough. We connected up with the train and an overnight ride to Germany. It was a noisy, clattering, uncomfortable sleep and we awoke to find that all my money had been stolen. “Roma” said the conductor. “It happens all the time.” Now we faced an uncomfortable choice: whether to soldier on, traveling as paupers, or returning home with our tails between our legs. Our return passage was already paid for, so we wouldn’t get stuck, so we opted for door number one- soldier on.
I can’t say it was our best trip ever, but it wasn’t our worst, either. I remember a sunny afternoon in the Black Forest when the entire town seemed to be cavorting on a frozen lake, but also some uncomfortable hitchhiking experiences. But we survived and found ourselves in Strasbourg, France on New Year’s Eve scheduled to return to London the next day. We counted our pennies and calculated that we had just enough to have a blow-out New Year’s Eve meal, before limping home. Truite au Bleu, here we come!
We spent the afternoon giddy with anticipation. It was a gray, gloomy day, but we happily roamed the streets of Strasbourg, scrutinizing the posted menus of the town’s many restaurants. We found at least half a dozen that met our dual criteria of being affordable and serving truite au bleu.
That evening we dressed in our finery (relatively speaking) and headed off for what was bound to be the best meal of our life. When we reached our first-choice bistro, however, we were dismayed to see the normal menu replaced with a sheet touting “Menu spécial: La Fête de la Saint Sylvestre”. The offerings were extensive and the price expensive, far too rich for our razor-thin budget.
Disappointed, but undeterred, we went to our second-choice restaurant only to have the experience repeated, then again at the third, fourth, and fifth. Not a single restaurant that we passed was serving its normal menu. Now we were taking body blows, and dropping our guards further. Two hours later, we were tired, hungry, footsore and beyond discouraged. All the small stores were closed, as well, so there wasn’t even the option of buying some cheese and a baguette. Finally, we threw in the towel.
“Let’s go to the train station. They must be open and their cafe can’t be so bad. After all, this is France.” Alas, while the trains still ran, the cafe was closed so that everyone could go celebrate La Fucking Fête de la Saint Sylvestre. We turned around to walk back to our hotel, neither of us speaking, tails between our legs. Along the way we had to have salt rubbed in our wounds by walking by our initial choice restaurant for our New Year’s Eve feast. The joint was warm and hopping, a Monet of French pleasure. But wait …
La Fête de la Saint Sylvestre menu was gone, replaced by the original. In our high school French we asked the Maitre d’ what was going on. As best we could understand, the special menu for La Fête was served for a single setting, then the regular service was restored.
As the waiter turned to show us to our table, we realized that both a New Year and the best meal of our lives were about to begin.
A Recipe for Truite au Blue
- 2 Tbsp. Butter
- 1 x Shallot of scallion, chopped
- 1 x Rib celery w/leaves/minced
- 1 x Carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 x Dressed trout, head and all
- Â Â But cut into chunks
- 1 Tbsp. Salt
- 6 x Peppercorns
- 1/2 tsp Thyme
- 2 Tbsp. Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 x Bay leaf
- 3 c. Water
- 1 c. White wine or possibly dry vermouth
- 3 Tbsp. Tarragon vinegar
- 5 whl 10″ trout
- This dish is basically trout poached in a vegetable court bouillon flavored with a cut-up trout. It is a lovely way to offer the delicacy of trout, and can be either a fish course, if the trout are 6-8 inchers, or possibly a main course if the trout are 10-11 inchers. As a fish course for a game dinner serve the trout cool (in an aspic if you wish-see below).
- In a big saucepan or possibly deep skillet with lid heat the butter and saute/fry the vegetables till the shallot is just soft.
- Add in the single cut-up trout and the remaining ingredients (except whole trout), bring to a bubble, and simmer for ten min or possibly so.
- Add in the dressed whole trout, cover, and simmer slowly for about 20-min.
- If the dish is a main course, remove the fish, drain, and serve immediately with melted butter and lemon juice or possibly herb butter.
- If the dish is just a fish course, allow the fish to cold in the liquor and serve the liquid removed trout with a slice of lemon. | <urn:uuid:505213e2-3a16-4ba3-b00a-aa92c0da31b1> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://silverbackdigest.com/2021/09/13/best-meal-of-my-life-truite-au-bleu/ | 2022-01-29T00:30:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.968234 | 1,697 |

I decided not to say anything on social media yesterday, but it was the ten year anniversary of Mum’s death on Sunday. In fact, I don’t think I said much at all. Except to Dexter of course, I always make an exception for him.
Dexter had just turned one when we lost Mum, so he doesn’t remember her, but I make sure I tell him stories about how much she loved him (and all her grandchildren), how she’d feed him, play with him, bounce him on her knee. For someone that doesn’t remember his Nan, he has a great emotional attachment to her and he broke down a couple of times during the day.
As for me, I didn’t cry at all. Not even when we put a dozen white roses on her grave which, on a scale of really sad things to do, is pretty much near the top of the list! I guess the thing about grief is that there is no ‘right’ time to grieve, to cry, or to miss someone. It has its own schedule. It has a canny nack of hitting you when you least expect it. Like when Eurovision comes on and I suddenly remember Mum and I making a chart of who our favourite acts were and scoring them accordingly from our respective houses, and then calling each other up to see how we compared. Or when I go to what was our favourite café and I see other mothers and daughters there just enjoying each others’ company, like we used to do. Or when I walk past the oak dresser that’s in the dining room of the house I now live in and see all the photos of her – at my wedding, at my brothers’, stood with her sister wearing the most fabulous matching green dress and jacket.
Aaah, I remember that outfit well. As usual, I was with her when she bought it. We’d go shopping every Saturday with each other, invariably bringing Nan along too for her weekly trip out. Mum thought the outfit was rather expensive but I told her it was worth it. She was worth it. She worried that the dress was too short as it was just above the knee. I told her she had great legs and could carry it off. She worried the colour was too bright. I told her it complimented her fair hair and freckly skin.
At least I said those things in my head … I’m not sure if I ever said them out loud.
I know I’ve written about Mum before on my blog and I don’t want to feel I’m going over the same thing time and time again, but it’s very difficult, especially for me, as a writer, to experience these milestones and not express how I feel. So, my lovely readers, I’m afraid you are my surrogate partner during times like this. You are the people I turn to when I need to get things off my chest.
When I first moved in with Dad, I worried that this house, their house, would be too big a reminder for me and I wouldn’t be able to cope with being here. I know I found it hard to visit Dad in the years after Mum died because being in that house was physically painful. My heart ached for my Mum. Literally everything I see reminds me of her in his house. The old carriage clock next to the fire, the navy blue dining room chair covers that she re-upholstered herself … the peach colour she painted the conservatory wall. I remember everything. But as time has passed, I’ve become accustomed to it all. Now, I take comfort from sitting in the same place on the blue sofa that she used to sit on. Cooking on the same hob that we once cooked Christmas dinner together on all those years ago. Dexter sleeping in her bed.
Maybe Dexter feels her around him and that’s why he has this emotional connection with a woman he never knew, or maybe he sees her in me … the woman and mother I now am.
Grief and loss is never-ending but I take comfort from knowing that the older I get, the more like her I become. I have so many wonderful memories and as much as they may have faded somewhat, they’ll never die. She was one class act that woman. Even when dressed as a punk. | <urn:uuid:91079116-dd85-44e9-9016-3eb8456c958a> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://witwitwoo.com/2015/06/01/memories-fade-they-dont-die/ | 2022-01-29T01:48:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.988293 | 914 |

Is Tucker Carlson positioning himself as Trump's natural successor?
Well, that was a Fourth of July weekend for the books, wasn't it? As a deadly pandemic continues to sweep through the country, resulting in an economic disaster, the president of the United States gave a couple of fiery speeches in which he barely mentioned any of that and instead declared war on half of America.
On Friday the 3rd, Donald Trump flew to Mount Rushmore to appear before a flock of adoring fans and deliver the message he intends to carry him through November. He declared that the country is under siege, not just by the "invisible enemy" COVID-19, or even the usual invading hordes of foreigners and terrorists storming the borders. He thundered:
Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, defame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children. Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities.
That wasn't all:
Very patriotic. https://t.co/Nhpy38dOli— digby (@digby) 1594010266.0
The next night, back in Washington, he delivered a solemn promise to his small but devoted audience of specially invited guests on the White House lawn:
Trump's July 4 message to the nation: "We are now in the process of defeating the radical left, the Marxists, the a… https://t.co/iKOWdoFdlq— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1593903325.0
He also repeatedly promised to unify the nation, presumably after all the left-wing fascists, Marxists, anarchists, agitators and looters have been vanquished. First things first.
If you liked his "American Carnage" inaugural address, you had to love this pair of angry declarations of war against fellow Americans on the day the country celebrates its freedom and independence. They certainly reeked of patriotism and love of country.
Actually, they just reeked. Reportedly they were the work of Trump's senior adviser and dark passenger Stephen Miller, who is usually known for his odious demonization of immigrants. It seems he's turned his evil talents to vilifying American citizens as well.
Of course, Miller had plenty of inspiration from the man himself. The president's loathing for any American who doesn't bathe him in glory and admiration has long been obvious. But lately he's turned the volume up to 11 in the hopes that he can whip the culture war to fever pitch by persuading people that these enemies within are literally coming to kill them in their beds. We've known his feelings on these issues since he took out a full-page newspaper ad back in the 1980s headlined, "Bring back the death penalty. Bring back our police."
Trump has made a decision that he's not going to talk about unarmed Black people who are killed by police and he's certainly not going to discuss the pandemic that is still ravaging our nation while the rest of the developed world is returning to some version of normal. He's decided instead to take up the lost cause of the Confederacy and Richard Nixon.
He's been getting advice — from someone who has recently received what Trump no doubt considers the most impressive accolade the world has to offer:
"Tucker Carlson Tonight" finished the quarter as the highest-rated program in cable news history, tallying an average of 4.33 million viewers.
As you know, in Trump's mind TV ratings are far more indicative of popularity than political polling, which he still doesn't understand. And Tucker Carlson is killing it on Fox News with his white supremacist fear-mongering, night after night. That is bound to impress the president as a sign that it's the winning formula.
Jonathan Swan of Axios has rounded up a few of the rhetorical parallels between Carlson's recent monologues and Trump's July 4 speech. Here's a small sampling:
- Carlson: "For more than a month, mobs of violent crazy people have roamed this country, terrorizing citizens and destroying things."
- Trump: "Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our Founders, deface our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities."
- Carlson: "The education cartel, enforced on your children, enforces their demands."
- Trump: "In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far-left fascism that demands absolute allegiance."
- Carlson: "The Cultural Revolution has come to the West."
- Trump: "Make no mistake: This left-wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution."
Carlson should sue Trump for plagiarism. The Washington Post's Paul Waldman has compiled and annotated some of Carlson's other white supremacist screeds, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
Carlson is definitely having a moment. Politico reports that those high ratings (even though they have cost him virtually all his advertisers) have Republican insiders buzzing that Carlson is a natural presidential contender for 2024. Apparently, they are assuming that, win or lose this fall, Trumpism is their future.
Carlson is far more savvy than Trump, as are a number of others who define themselves as right-wing populists and natural heirs to the house that Trump built. I've written about Carlson's specific brand before, and it's considerably more dangerous than anything Trump, with his George Wallace old-school Confederate-flavored racism, can come up with. Carlson is much more in line with the new right-wing populism of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, which is a sophisticated program that plays on the same fears and resentments as Trumpism but has deeper ideological roots and more serious authoritarian goals.
Pundits and commentators seem to be taken with the fact that Carlson often excoriates the Republican establishment and puts out curious feelers to certain ideas more commonly associated with the left, as if he were some new and unique brand of open-minded conservative. Apparently they forget that until Trump came along and "tamed" the GOP establishment, the Tea Party types had excoriated Republican leadership for years. Recall that then-House Speaker Paul Ryan was booed heavily at a Trump rally in 2016.
There's one highly intriguing wrinkle in this scenario: What if Donald Trump loses this fall and decides he wants to take another run at it in 2024? He'll be the same age then as Joe Biden is now, and it's hard to imagine he wouldn't seize the opportunity to bilk his cult followers out of as much money as possible over the next four years to prepare for a rematch. I don't think anyone's going to be allowed to run with Trumpism until Trump himself is finished with it.
We know what Trump is capable of. But Tucker Carlson already looks like one of the nastiest pieces of work in American politics for a long time — and he's not technically in politics quite yet. A primary battle between them would be brutal. | <urn:uuid:51d496d0-1702-465e-9c4b-d3117c4bdac3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.alternet.org/2020/07/is-tucker-carlson-positioning-himself-as-trumps-natural-successor/ | 2022-01-29T01:45:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.973566 | 1,483 |
HAMILTON, Ohio -- A 14-year-old girl is facing an aggravated murder charge after police say she shot and killed her 71-year-old father, reports say.
James Allen Ponder was flown to University of Cincinnati Medical Center after being shot in the face, but he died of his wounds, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Washington Nationals’ righty Joe Ross got some relatively good news after the 28-year-old right-hander was diagnosed with a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow a few days back.
Ross traveled to see Dr. Keith Meister, who performed the Tommy John surgery the pitcher underwent in 2017, after he felt right forearm tightness following a bullpen session and he was evaluated by Dr. [Robert] Najarian, and his exam was consistent with a flexor pronator strain, as manager Davey Martinez told reporters on Sunday morning.
“With that being said, we sent him for an MRI due to his past history,” Martinez continued, in his pregame Zoom call with reporters this past weekend.
“We got the MRI back and it showed a partial tear of his UCL.”
Martinez cautioned at the time that it didn’t necessarily mean that Ross would have to have a second TJS, and after consulting with Dr. Meister again, the Nats’ skipper said on Tuesday that for now they think the pitcher can avoid another surgery and rehab the tear.
“Joe went and saw Dr. Meister, and as of right now he’s not going to need surgery,” Martinez said before the series opener with the Toronto Blue Jays last night. “[Dr. Meister] said it’s basically a sprain, so he’s going to have some significant amount of time before he comes back, but I deem that good news, so we’ll see when he gets back, he’s going to have to go through some extensive rehab, some time off, but I thought that was good news that he won’t need surgery as of right now.”
Was Ross similarly positive about the relatively good news?
“I haven’t talked to Joe yet,” the skipper said. “I’m going to call him here in a little while, because he’s been traveling, but I’m hoping that he’s — of course he’s not going to be happy, because he wanted to continue to pitch, but like I said, I think that’s great news, and we’ll get him the rest that he needs and get him back on the mound as soon as we can, but I don’t expect him at this point to pitch any more this year, because we want to make sure that he’s completely healthy and that he’s ready to go in Spring Training.”
Ross had Tommy John surgery in 2017, returned in ‘18, returned to pre-surgery form at times late in ‘19, then opted out of playing in 2020’s 60-game COVID campaign, but got back at it over the winter, returned to the club this season and was up and down on the mound in 20 games (19 of them starts), with a 4.17 ERA, a 4.38 FIP, 34 walks (2.83 BB/9), and 109 Ks (9.08 K/9) in 108 IP before the injury.
He’s done for 2021, but the Nationals and Ross are now hopeful that he won’t end up having to have another Tommy John surgery.
“Right now it’s going to be — he’s going to have to rest for a while,” Martinez explained. “You know, when he gets back, we’re going to sit down with Dr. West and go over a plan for him. But like I said, the good news is that he doesn’t need surgery, and that was the big concern.
“He’s going to rest, and like I said this before, I don’t see him pitching for us in 2021, we just want to make sure that when he comes back he’s healthy, and we get him ready for next spring.”
With the, as we said, relatively good news, the Nationals can get a head start on the rehab for Ross, and start working towards 2022 now.
“For me the best thing that happened was the news that he didn’t need surgery and then we can go from there,” Martinez said. “No time — as I sat down and talked to Joe, it’s never easy especially for a young kid like Joe that’s been through what he’s gone through already, to shut him down for any reason.
“He was upset about it, but when I talk to him I need to reiterate that, ‘Hey, this is great news, it’s headed in a positive direction,’ and he has to look at it like that now we just got to get him built up and get him strong again and have him get ready for Spring Training.” | <urn:uuid:1e4cb601-1a3e-4780-bd8e-7f46215e5ab3> | CC-MAIN-2022-05 | https://www.federalbaseball.com/2021/8/18/22629831/washington-nationals-think-joe-ross-can-avoid-second-tommy-john-surgery | 2022-01-29T01:56:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-05/segments/1642320299894.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20220129002459-20220129032459-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.979278 | 1,036 |
