The audio recording seems that it’s going to be uploaded to FeatherCast.
UPDATE: the Lanyrd official page is up too
The code for the Maven-Puppet module is avalable in GitHub, and I’ll write some posts about it in the coming weeks.
The DevOps movement aims to improve communication between developers and operations teams to solve critical issues such as fear of change and risky deployments. But the same way that Agile development would likely fail without continuous integration tools, the DevOps principles need tools to make them real, and provide the automation required to actually be implemented. Most of the so called DevOps tools focus on the operations side, and there should be more than that, the automation must cover the full process, Dev to QA to Ops and be as automated and agile as possible. Tools in each part of the workflow have evolved in their own silos, and with the support of their own target teams. But a true DevOps mentality requires a seamless process from the start of development to the end in production deployments and maintenance, and for a process to be successful there must be tools that take the burden out of humans.
Apache Maven has arguably been the most successful tool for development, project standardization and automation introduced in the last years. On the operations side we have open source tools like Puppet or Chef that are becoming increasingly popular to automate infrastructure maintenance and server provisioning.
In this presentation we will introduce an end-to-end development-to-production process that will take advantage of Maven and Puppet, each of them at their strong points, and open source tools to automate the handover between them, automating continuous build and deployment, continuous delivery, from source code to any number of application servers managed with Puppet, running either in physical hardware or the cloud, handling new continuous integration builds and releases automatically through several stages and environments such as development, QA, and production. | <urn:uuid:d371103b-d057-4749-9d70-18d5ec8edf72> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://blog.csanchez.org/2011/11/15/from-dev-to-devops-slides-from-apachecon-na-vancouver-2011/ | 2019-11-19T15:26:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670156.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119144618-20191119172618-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.949653 | 395 | [

The New Basics
Finance and economy
Sapnoti Eswar from the London Business School warns against the use of risks based financial strategy over longer term innovation. As he says, “firms may be able to use complex financial products, such as derivatives, to hedge risk. However, if they become over-reliant on this insurance mechanism, it could dampen their desire to invest in and produce innovative technology.” Indeed, some investments need to be envisaged with benefits that exceed short term return. As Dan Winterson from Stanford University reminds, “conservation impact investing is real and growing rapidly. One reason for this growth may be that it has broad appeal, as illustrated by the variety of collaborators on our study.” This new finance approach rise as the economy is demanding change. In this video, Nouriel Roubini highlights in an interview for Bloomberg the need for Europe to define an aggressive policy to generate growth, now going into unconventional approach as it is already too late to offset decline in the coming years. In Asia, a slowing Chinese economy is opening doors for India to become a key player in the next 5 years. These uncertainty conditions are causing a number of capital valuation to come under further scrutiny, as Wharton Knowledge explains about the recent valuation of Uber. “There was nothing in history for people to judge [such] valuations back then…. I think people will be far more disciplined.” As Justin Fox from HBR concludes on Icanh’s latest open letter to Apple: “Those decades also appear to have taught him that it’s okay to follow an investing strategy so simple that it invites mockery. As long as he gets the last laugh, of course.”
New managers will be able to deal with uncertainty, and they will have to. They could for example develop a “reassessment cycle” whereby data and metrics are verified by experimentation, as Kevin Lindsay from HBR suggests. When needed, they’ll be given tools to reassess their own experience and learn to change, as Mireia Las Hera from IESE Business Schools explains. They can also develop a growth mindset, valuing potential instead of evaluating the past, as HBR explains. Joel Peterson from Stanford University underline the necessity of trust: “The people who run things must show – by their actions – the way they want business to be done, and the way they want people to be treated.” To achieve this, they will have to learn to ask the right questions as Richard Davies from HBR advises and take as less decision as possible following Netflix CEO example as related by Bill Snyder from Stanford University. This can lead to developing products and strategies that pull “a trigger, action, reward, and investment — helping us form new routines and establish new habits, no matter how endlessly loyal we think we are” as Nir Eyal from HBR implies. Finally, new managers will develop a strong but open sense of conviction, as Helmuth Ludwig from IESE Business School suggests.
New breed of opportunities
John Hendersohn from London Business School reminds in below video that now is the era of everything “exponential”.
Now is time to be a non-conformist entrepreneur, as suggested by Eilene Zimmerman from Stanford University. As she explains, “Because the likelihood of failure is higher, their plan faces greater scrutiny and that makes them more likely to succeed in the long run if they make it through to the market.” It is also time to learn to work with partners and set the right alignment strategy, as Rick Reed from Stanford University explains. As we create the appropriate ecosystem and environment to encourage creativity in solving problems, opportunities impacts goes beyond revenues. According to Adam Grant from HBR, it generates three objectives: “The first is saving your best employees—those who exemplify collegial generosity—from being taken advantage of and helping them to gain stature as successful givers instead. The second is enabling employees who fear the risks of giving to contribute more to others and to the success of the enterprise. The third is creating a culture of and reputation for generosity that attracts more givers to your organization and appeals less to takers.”
Interconnected skills and capabilities
Professor Donnelly from the Watford Institute of Technology describes this new era for Silicon Republic. In his own words, “The exciting thing about the internet of things is that it is a new way of building services, organising society, collecting information and processing that information. But what is really exciting is how it can be used for the benefit of society”. Eddie Yoon from HBR details how localisation will also play a role in the way we address markets geographically. The disruption reaches every level of value chains. Michael Porter from HBR mentions products and functionalities potential while Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic explains the impact on Human Resources, with the privacy concerns, lack of expertise and organizational politics issues that will rise with IoT technologies. IoT will also affect operations, finance and engineering, as Joey Fitts from HBR reminds. One way to thrive in that era is to purposedly determine a guiding vision to analyse data, as Jeanne Ross explains for the MIT. In her view, “That means somebody is dictating. There is somebody who says, “This is how we will define sales, this is how we will define returns, this is when we will register revenue, and we are all living by this rule. Until we do that, we don’t have data that’s useful for most kinds of analytics.” It also proves important in terms of recruitment and brand image. As Joe Panepinto reminds for HBR: “With competition for tech talent at an all-time high and mobile tech savviness a common characteristic of new employees, demonstrating that your org “gets” the new IT landscape is incredibly important.” Furthermore, “it looks at “leading indicators” that could help the company figure out if someone is about to make a purchase and needs an extra push, or if a customer is about to give up on a brand and needs a reason to stay.”, as Wharton Knowledge explains.
The Law of Change
The blurring limits
This new era leads to better include the “us” rather as focusing on the “I”, as Jean-Charles Cailliez writes on his blog. The interconnected world transfers some of the decision making and even production layers to customers and/or partners. “Predictive analytics has the potential to transform both how government operates and how resources are allocated, thereby improving the public’s health.” explains Bechara Choucair for HBR. Mojgan Afshari from the University of Malaya highlights the impact of 4D printing to CloudTweaks, while Gwen Kinkead from the MIT mentions a new design software that is able to propose different solutions to design intelligently creative objects. As a result, Bruce Katz from HBR sees a potential for new “Silicon Valleys” to arise in different regions of the world. As he says, “The confluence of these disruptive economic, social, and demographic dynamics has changed corporate calculus. As companies design forward-looking strategies, they should be asking whether and how a greater commitment to urban locales could help them squeeze out even more success.”
A fast-changing ecosystem
We are now able to estimate the real value of green policies, as Mike Orcutt from the MIT explains. This allows cities like Mexico to better manage pollution related programmes and reach ambitious objectives, as reminds Corydon Ireland from Harvard University. Politics are also taking action, as HBR reminds: “President Obama is committing the U.S. to cut emissions 26 to 28 percent from 2005 levels, while Chinese President Xi Jinping announced China’s first cap on emissions by 2030 (…) But unfortunately, a little basic math shows they may be too little, too late.” As Andrew Wilson from HBR explains: “there is more than a hint of a defensive posture here – we’re being reactive. Adaptation is critical, but as a sole strategy, it’s kind of silly and potentially devastating.” Therefore we need to better pilot sustainability within organisation, defining a common language, as Gregory Unruh from the MIT suggests. This is why some of us take action, like Yadav, a Freshman from Yale University, portrayed by Susan Gonzalez. As Yadav says, “You don’t need to be older to be able to do something. Age is just a number”. Peter Reuell from Harvard mentions Burton and Musunuru, recently awarded as a “recognition of exceptional teaching in introductory courses” in Science. The University of Cambridge and Stanford University are also working on including more women in STEM. As the University of Cambridge says, “To be a world class University we must recruit and retain the best candidates – from every sector of society.” For their part, Harvard have decided to choose a more open way of sharing knowledge, while Andrew O’Connell calls for a “life long learning” attitude to avoid “feeling entitled to hard-won authority”.
The good news is there will be plenty of sources to learn from. As Philip Tan from the MIT explains to the Huffington Post, “Diversity – gender, racial, religious, and economic – is critical for making games that speak to a diverse world.” A changing society arises, with fathers taking paternity leave and coming back more productive, as Stew Friedman from Wharton University explains in following video for CBS News. New applications will enable an intelligent education, as a few ideas from Grenoble Management School students show on Jean-François Fiorina’s blog. With change also comes debate. Baratunde Thurston from Bucknell University explains how net neutrality is essential to protect innovation and innovators, anywhere.
Larry Downes, from HBR, argues that in fact “The best way to ensure that profound and powerful economic principle continues to operate is to continue leaving it alone, having faith that it will keep driving disruptive innovation that generates consumer surplus and economic growth.” Beyond faith, there are a few certainties, though. As Susan Crowford points out for HBR: “We’ll need both better policies and better technology to make the invisible electronic layer of cities visible to us all. Because only when we can see something can we make progress.” | <urn:uuid:55bf0a37-b9d9-476f-969d-61f67f7a56ed> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://weareinnovation.org/2014/11/17/teaching-the-world-to-change/ | 2019-11-21T03:30:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670729.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121023525-20191121051525-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.948853 | 2,189 | [

Marriage and family breakups are nowadays all around us in the society we live in today. Domestic violence and disputes are nowadays becoming more of a pastime. In a family breakup case and divorce suits, questions to be resolved will often revolve around issues of the custody of children, the splitting of property, and investments among a number of concerns the husband and wife had common interest in and as such served to hold the two together. In order to amicably resolve these family disputes in a speedy manner and equally respectful way, the input of an external mediator will definitely come in handy and this will be found from a family law attorney. We will here give some highlights into why and how a family law attorney can help you resolve issues ensuing from a divorce proceeding.
In normal cases the first and foremost concern will be the custody of the children. If it be the case that you and your spouse had children, then you will naturally want to secure their interests and fate as you go through with your divorce proceedings. Some of the concerns to mind will be where the children will have as their permanent residence, the division and splitting of expenses regarding their upkeep, and how to organize visitation. When a family law attorney is allowed to weigh in with their input, they will come in with their advice and opinion that will help you resolve your disputes successfully. They have the expertise and experience that will be lacking to you which will help you resolve these concerns much faster and with due respect between the two of you.
Such disputes can be resolved by agreements reached between the husband and wife through informal negotiations guided by a family law attorney. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation can as well resolve such disputes in a divorce proceeding. The two modes mentioned above are often the most ideal models for resolving disputes over child custody in a divorce proceeding without having such cases referred to the courts for ruling.
A Quick Overlook of Lawyers – Your Cheatsheet
When it comes to property ownership and the splitting of such property in case of a divorce, a family law attorney will help in the handling of such cases given their knowledge of the legal aspects that go along with the division of such assets. It is all too common to have couples when starting up to invest in property together. Steps of such a nature will often prove a hurdle in your efforts to settle your divorce needs. This can be ably dealt with when you hire the advice of a family law attorney.The Best Advice About Experts I’ve Ever Written | <urn:uuid:8d167eab-4460-4684-a8e4-6acb1c62809c> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.bolatogel.net/valuable-lessons-ive-learned-about-experts.html | 2019-11-21T02:48:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670729.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121023525-20191121051525-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.976954 | 499 | [

He nailed it.
From digital brand researcher L2 (he's the founder), now part of the Gartner empire, April 21, 2017:
The relationship between investors / shareholders and firms has largely been the same for a century: We (investors) will fund losses for 1-3 years, and then you (firm) begin making profits you distribute back to us. No more. The firms markets reward with the greatest valuations have turned this on its head and replaced profits with vision and growth. Losses are the new black.
The trend has gone hyperbolic. Facebook and Google were both profitable when they went public. The latest hot girl is Snap Inc., who in 2016 earned 412M and lost 500M. Not to be outdone, Uber did 5B and lost 3B. At L2, our venture capitalists convinced us profits were “so yesterday” and nudged / shoved us to take their fire hose of cash and begin spraying it at technology and people, and leave profitability in the rear-view mirror. And they were right. The marketplace wants growth and special, regardless of the resources to keep feeding the beast.
What caused this? Simple: firms mimic success, and the most successful firm in the world is Amazon. Amazon’s core competence is not operations, the cloud, or even technology, but storytelling. Jeff Bezos’ ability to paint an extraordinary vision (“Earth’s Biggest Store”) and register steady progress against that vision is rewarded with the cheapest capital in the history of business.
Cheap. Capital. Is. Awesome.
Amazon can try 10 things for every one thing peers can. When I sit in board meetings, directors usually ask management to come up with ideas that provide advantage, relative to required investment — we want cool ideas, that don’t cost too much. I’ve never been in an Amazon board meeting, but I believe management is charged with coming up with cool ideas that are ridiculously expensive, as others can’t follow. The majority of (actual) wars have not been won with strategy, bravery, training, or superior equipment, but brute force. At the end of WWll, the Allies had 38 gallons of gasoline for every one the Germans did. Amazon is the retailer with 38 gallons.
Like an illusionist, Amazon has the markets and regulators focused on its super-competitive retail business, distracting them from the sectors the firm is also dominating, hose in hand — cloud, media, and video streaming. The craziest example of this is Amazon’s spend on original content this year. | <urn:uuid:2f36db98-b09b-4ed6-b1d8-82a404caaaca> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://climateerinvest.blogspot.com/2018/04/losses-are-new-black-amzn.html | 2019-11-22T15:10:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496671363.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20191122143547-20191122172547-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.959981 | 537 | [

Protection of human life and property from flooding is a strategic priority in the UK. We examine how to encourage home owners to protect themselves and their residences. A model of factors that influence the decision to buy flood-protection devices is tested using survey data from 2109 home owners. The results show that the majority of respondents have not purchased domestic flood protection (N = 1732; 82.1%). Purchase of flood-protection devices was influenced by age; perceived seriousness; and beliefs about, and trust in, the role of regulators in managing flooding. In younger respondents the perceived seriousness of the dangers of flooding acted as precursors and barriers to action depending on individual sense of responsibility and agency. The second part of the study examines responsiveness to information. Information about flooding alone was insufficient to promote behavioural change, particularly among people who had not experienced a flood or who believed that they were not in a flood zone. Implications for understanding flood protection, managing agency issues, and flood-communication campaigns are discussed.

Transfer News!! Spanish Side Atletico Madrid Confirm Talks With This Manchester United Striker
Atletico Madrid president, Enrique Cerezo, has admitted that they held talks with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s representatives.
Cerezo however insists the La Liga club, would not pursue the opportunity of signing him.
Ibrahimovic was released by Manchester United after scoring 28 goals in 46 games and then suffering a knee ligament injury lasts season.
AS reported that Ibrahimovic’s cousin Selman Yalcin, had spoken about Atletico’s interest. But the club’s transfer ban would mean they could only register him in January 2018, by which stage he would be likely to have returned to full fitness.
But Cerezo, speaking to reporters at an event to mark the renaming of a metro station outside Atleti’s new Wanda Metropolitano stadium, said: “Maybe we spoke with his family, but not with him.
“We are taking another line. We can talk about it in January, when we can sign people, but I don’t think it will happen.”
Cerezo said the ban was complicating any chance the club had of bringing Diego Costa back from Chelsea, adding: “The problem is that we cannot sign — if not for that, we would be delighted to try and improve the team a bit.”

Exterminators are experts and practitioners who seek, find and eradicate those dangerous and annoying pests at home. Various methods are used in controlling these pests and insects. They are very experienced with substantial expertise in the eradication of pest without the use of the dangerous poisons. They protect the animal form harm by trying to trap them by use of suitable means. The traps they use are very human such that the pests can be captured and taken to places where they can survive. They use edible treats which attracts the pests and collect them for transportation to designated areas. The traps have an opening where the pests can enter through and get trapped before the exterminator comes to collect and transport the convenient places. This method is used by the exterminators to trap large mammals like the opossums, raccoons, squirrels, skunks among others.
These professionals come to client’s home or business premises to determinate the extent of the problem caused by the pests. They ensure they plan for the process of eliminating the menace as it is on the ground. These experts are either self-employed or work with certain approved companies. They very reliable in their services. Some individuals do not like bringing new experts to their home compounds. Some individuals feel it soothing when they do the job by themselves. This is risky as you can come into contact with some harmful chemicals. Ensure you hire a professional exterminator as they are trained on how to identify the pests.
Natural measures are preventive in controlling the menace brought about by the pests. However these measures are not that effective as they take longer as compared to the chemical approach. Changing the structure of the habitat may lead to complete removal of the pests. Natural means are cheap.
Animals like the rat, mice and others can be trapped using the poison bait traps. Mousetrap is the most common trap used in capturing the mice and the rats. The mousetrap has a wooden block as well as the snapping device. Peanut butter is unusually spread on the trap which now snaps down the neck of the animal. Little plastic discs filed with poison are used as baits for insects. The roaches, as well as the insects, die immediately they get in.
Poison spray fumigation are very effective in eliminating the insect problems. The indoors and outdoors are targeted by the exterminators by spraying with chemicals. Fumigation is done by sealing the house and the compound and spraying completely. This method is very effective as it leads to extermination of all pests and insects both adult and larvae. It also removes the eggs of the pests disrupting the life cycle. There should be good preparation as temporary relocation is needed. A good work is done by those experienced and licensed. They get rid of unwanted pests by spending a good deal of time in the pest-infested areas which may include the attics, basements and the crawl spaces. They also educate their clients on the various ways suitable for eliminating the pests. | <urn:uuid:8acd1ff1-4198-49d3-8985-a90fe8066e27> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.zombietsunamihacks.com/exterminators-getting-started-next-steps.html | 2019-11-12T23:09:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665809.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20191112230002-20191113014002-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.975129 | 595 | [

Cinema in Malaysia today is among the top entertainment option for people from all walks of life. It was once seen as a dying industry and this has changed tremendously ever since. The cinema industry has become one of the most flourishing ones especially with the advent of new media to create buzz for new movies and blockbusters.
Why the change in cinema entertainment?
There are several major reasons that cinema has become among the top choices for entertainment among Malaysians. This is due to:
- Vast transformation in experience – cinema goers are now given more options and more pleasurable choices when they visit the cinema. New technologies, state-of-the-art equipment and modern facilities have taken the places of traditional halls
- Lifestyle – In Malaysia particularly, going to the cinema or watching a movie is an integral part of the lifestyle especially among urbanites
- Choices – competition among the major players like MBO, GSC and TGV means that the service providers are offering more options and choices. Generally, going to the cinema is no longer limited by location. Almost every major shopping centre, including community ones have multiplexes available
- Each location offers a few halls. This allow them to provide a wide range of movies in different languages thereby expanding its target market reach
- New technologies – Most providers have now moved on to digital technology, which means cinema goers are able to enjoy their movies better
How does cinema affect advertising
One thing for sure, cinema advertising appeals to a niche market. However, this is very crucial because cinemas are available at highly focused locations, particularly in urban and sub-urban areas. As such, it offers an unprecedented advertising option.
Furthermore, its environment is known to be among the most captive. When the viewer is in the hall, the ads will appeal to them whether they wish to view them or not. As an advertising option, this is good cost-benefit. In fact, with the shorter lead time, it offers a great platform for advertisers who are looking to run short promotional campaigns as well.
The Target Audience
In totality, more than 70% of cinema goers are young adults who are between 15 and 29 years of age. This means that advertisers and brand owners of products and services aiming at this target group will find cinema one of the most perfect options.
With more than 2 million people going to the cinema on a monthly basis, there is a lot of opportunities in this market. Within this number, almost half of them are in white collar jobs. Among the various types of movies, action, love and romance are the most preferred while English Language is the most preferred medium.
There is a healthy mix of cinema goers between the gender with female constituting about 40% and 60% being male. The largest group of cinema goers are those between 20 and 29 years old which form more than half of the total.
What’s in store for advertisers
Typically, advertisers will enjoy good value for money for placing ads in cinemas. There are a few types of media available with the commercials in the screens being the most popular. Besides that, there are banner ads, pillar wraparounds and static posters.
It must be noted that foreign movies contribute the most to ticket sales. In 2015, foreign movies attributed to more than 94% which is more than RM800 million in sales. This is a sharp contrast with local movies which attributed to about 6% only.
There are more than 140 cinema outlets across the country which collectively provide almost 1,000 screens for advertisers. This means that advertisers would be spoilt for choice when it comes to buying the media spaces. In order to ensure that advertising dollars are well-spent, the following criteria should be considered:
- Location – This will determine the type of audience who will be viewing your ad. If you are selling to a language-dependent crowd, then you should know the profile of the people of the specific location
- Genre – this is perhaps one of the most important factors of placing your ad in the cinema. You do not want your product or brand to be associated with a genre which could be in contrast to what you can offer.
- frequency – Some cinemas provide packages where you decide on how many times your ad will appear regardless of the movie genre or title
- Duration – Most cinemas offer various multiple-second slots for advertising. In most cases, you can book a spot in either 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 or 90 seconds depending on what you intend to convey.
In terms of advertising billings, the trend has been on the rise since 2011. Then, the amount collected from advertising expenditure as about RM170 million. This would increase steadily until it almost doubled by 2015.
For market size, the market is dominated by 3 major players, namely GSC, TGV and MBO. There are other players like LFS and Cathay. GSC has the most number of screens, commanding more than 30% of the total followed by TGV which is not far behind. In terms of seats, GSC lead this by virtue of the number of screens. This simply means that the market is led mostly by GSC followed by TGV although it can be dependent based on the location as well. | <urn:uuid:4300b7d1-676e-428a-b54c-106368bddb72> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.advertising.com.my/cinema-insights | 2019-11-18T05:41:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669454.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118053441-20191118081441-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.962793 | 1,082 | [

The woman, a venezuelan, her husband, the Romanian Istvan Horvath, and the latter's brother, Gabriel, were subpoenaed to testify by video conference on Tuesday, but none was presented in court Romanian where they were expected. After that the president of the court judge Morate asked their Romanian colleagues to bring them to declare using "public force" if necessary, on Wednesday itself appeared, Sophia and Gabriel.
The scene in which Morate they acknowledged the murder of Navy placed Sofia on the 12th of August, the day previous to the arrest of Morate, on the terrace of the same house in Lugoj (Romania), where Morate fled after the disappearance of his ex-partner, Marina Okarynska, and friend, Laura of the Hole. Drank a few beers when he told them: "I killed Marina."
- Is it true that you came to tell you in particular that he had killed with a plastic necklace? -asked the prosecutor.
-No, you only told us that he had killed Marina. We speak No more of it.
he Assured Sofia Valeria, who at that time didn't know that the young people were missing or killed, and that he learned of their deaths and that Sergio was looking for the Interpol the following day by a publication of his mother on Facebook. "My husband went to work that morning, I stayed with Sergio and when I found out I was waiting for my husband to tell him. When he arrived we didn't have time to talk and went shopping. When he returned I told my husband that he come to the kitchen area, but he was sitting with the child, talking with his brother and Sergio. At that moment came the Interpol".
he Explained, Sofia Valeria that a few days before received a message from Sergio in which he told them that he was going to Romania to visit in order to attend the christening of his son, who was to be the godfather.
- When going to celebrate the christening? -inquiría the prosecutor.
-we didn't have a date, lady.
there was Not date of the alleged baptism by which Morate traveling by car to Romania, the young man was only wearing a backpack as luggage, once in Romania, did you remove the plates the license plate number of your vehicle and put it on sale and, although it was supposed to be visiting, they rented an apartment.
it Was the mobile of Sofia Valeria that he received a message Morate asking for help when he was lost somewhere on the border of Hungary with Austria. "I think he said he was in a country near and how I could reach that did not understand the GPS, it was in another language. My husband and his brother went to pick you up."
Her husband, Istvan Horvath, whom Morate met when both were serving sentence in 2008 in the prison of Cuenca, was not presented to declare the Tuesday nor the Wednesday. Had gone to work in Germany and was unlocatable, is explained by video conferencing to the living room. In his first statement, made in Romania, Istvan had told Morate he confessed that he had killed Marina and Laura, and that it did not warn the Police because you did not believe him. Shortly after, in a second interrogation, which took place before the Spanish authorities and whose recording was issued on Wednesday in the living room, the friend Romanian was looking to Morate Hungary changed its version: Not recognized confession of Morate -"I don't know", "I do not remember" - said stated that coerced by the Romanian police and denied having any knowledge of the disappearance of Marina and Laura prior to their arrest, the 13 of August. Five days before, however, Istvan had a conversation in WhatsApp with a friend of Morate, from which it follows that he knew more than he acknowledged. This is a snippet:
a Friend of Sergio: Have disappeared, Marina, Laura and Sergio
Istvan: We have set a trap. Insurance.
Friend: Well we don't know anything.
Istvan: This to me smells like a trap.
Itsvan: Sergio can't with the two.

The House of Commons is scheduled to resume sitting on September 19, and one of the pieces of legislation expected to be on the fall agenda is Bill S-201: An Act to Prohibit and Prevent Genetic Discrimination – a bill that was originally put forward by Liberal Senator James Cowan in 2013.
The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) is encouraging members of Canada’s Jewish community to write to their members of Parliament to encourage their support for the bill and ensure its passage.
As CIJA Chair David Cape points out in an August 25 email to the community, “Canada is the only G7 country without specific protections in place to prevent discrimination based on DNA.”
This is a matter that should be of serious concern to all Canadians. As Cape points out, when we are without a law protecting us from genetic discrimination, there is nothing to prevent such bodies as insurance companies, employers (and potential employers) from demanding individuals take genetic tests and disclose private information to them.
“This poses serious problems when it comes to finding or keeping a job, advancing in a career, or buying insurance,” Cape notes.
And this is a matter that is specifically of concern to the Jewish community as there are a number of genetic diseases that are much more prevalent among Ashkenazi Jews than in the general population. These include Gaucher disease, cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, familial dysautonomia, and Canavan disease.
A genetic condition that runs in my own family is hereditary angioedema – a condition that can cause swelling, sometimes very painful swelling – in almost any part of the body at almost any time. My great-grandmother, grandfather and father all had it and there was a 50 per cent chance that I would have it. Luckily, I don’t. But one of my brothers does, as do a number of my cousins.
As well, I know many Jewish individuals who suffer from Crohn’s disease, for which Ashkenazi Jews have a higher genetic disposition than the general population.
And there is a too-long list of other genetic diseases – some of them, like hereditary angioedema, that are quite rare – affecting Ashkenazi Jews in much higher proportions than other communities.
Genetic testing can help individuals at risk for these diseases manage their health. However, without a law protecting them from the types of genetic discrimination I’ve mentioned, many people are afraid that being tested and testing positive would put their livelihood or ability to be insured at risk. So too many people avoid being tested at all and don’t receive the help or knowledge they need.
It is unacceptable that Canada remains the only G7 country that has not yet enacted protection from genetic discrimination.
Visit www.cija.ca/action-alerts/help-end-gd/ to learn more about this issue and on how to contact your MP and let them know how important it is that Bill S-201 be passed as soon as possible.
Thank you, Michael
By the time you read this, Michael Aarenau will be finishing up his three-month internship at the Ottawa Jewish Bulletin and heading back to his classes at Carleton University.
Michael did excellent work for us over the summer writing articles on a wide range of topics from interviews with upcoming speakers at community events, to breaking news stories and heartwarming human interest stories. He even rose to the occasion and learned to play Pokémon Go so that he could write about how the phenomenon has affected Jewish community institutions.
Several more of Michael’s articles are scheduled to run in our September 26 Rosh Hashanah edition, and his voice will continue to be heard in the Bulletin as our “Campus Life” columnist for this coming school year.
Thanks, Michael, for a job well done. | <urn:uuid:03b5a216-f6d9-4bf1-98d3-1e6bdd2f363c> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.ottawajewishbulletin.com/from-the-editor-tell-your-mp-how-important-it-is-to-prohibit-genetic-discrimination-in-canada/ | 2019-11-19T20:44:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670255.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119195450-20191119223450-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.961924 | 794 | [

It depends on the group but we are usually back in La Paz around 6pm.
Again this depends on each person, their fitness level and how hard they want to push it. Usually we get to the top around 10am and have the whole day on the glacier just to ourselves. If you want to push it hard you can get 5 runs in or you can hand out in the park bowl area and practice tricks/jumps, etc.
Our guides have worked many years training and teaching beginners to the sport. They can help you feel comfortable and give you lots of personalized attention to help you reach your next level. This is not a groomed slope and we do have to deal with the natural conditions of a high altitude glacier so sometimes the conditions are not optimal.
We can go every day as long as the conditions on the mountain allow and there are at least 2 people signed up to go!
We still go for a ride. Unfortunately we cannot control the weather or conditions on the mountain and therefore cannot be held responsible. Even in poor conditions we will work our hardest to ensure you have a great day on the mountain.
We try to keep our groups small to be able to deliver high service to each person on the trip. They are normally from 2-6 people. We will not take groups of more than 12. And always bring a second guide when groups are bigger than 5.
Our guides speak English and Spanish. | <urn:uuid:25cde68c-39c3-425f-8f5e-62a87be10bff> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.screerush.com/faq/ | 2019-11-19T19:57:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670255.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119195450-20191119223450-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.966447 | 292 | [

Kruks, a new association for Finnish and Finland-based artists and makers working in the fields of art and technology, has chosen works to be installed on the 'Festival centre' tram, which will travel a route throughout Helsinki during the festival weekend (25th to 27th September). Visitors can hop on or off the tram freely and the tram will also serve as a info and meeting point for festival-goers.
RE/F/r:ACE is a participatory multimodal city event utilising interactive and mobile media on several levels. The project embraces contemporary socio-political themes like the rhythm of urban life and difference through visual and sound design. On a metaphorical level, it deals with concepts related to social glue, the miracle of human bonding through social media.
Visually the core concept of RE/F/r:ACE consists of projections on buildings and localised sound environments in public spaces. The projections are made from citizen’s portraits. The faces belong to people who represent the livelihood of the city’s different ethnic identities, social hierarchies and classes. The human faces shown in the projections are animated and edited in real-time by morphing and layering. In conjunction with the animated still-photographs, the visual flow of the projected image is built up from the use of pre-recorded video clips of the slow movement of the human faces: slashing eye lids, smiling, tipping and turning of the head. Most importantly passers-by in the street are able to send their own or their friends images directly from their mobile phones, instantly affecting the projected images.
The images are simultaneously converted into sound data which feeds into the localised sound projections in the public space. An ambient sound environment is created en situ by recording urban sounds from the local environment during the event. These sounds are synthesised and projected back into the city space to accompany the images.
RE/F/r.ACE is created by Merja Puustinen, Victor Khashchanskiy & Andy Best. Take part at http://refrace.info
Trams make noise, a kling-klang, a tremor when they approach. You can hear a sweeping tone when they start moving, as an animal waking up. Trams belong to the imagery of the industrial revolution, one of the instruments of a futuristic orchestra.
INNER VOICES is a sound installation and structure for performance created by inserting little kinetic elements inside the tram. Although minimal as agents, the motors move according to their own agenda but also respond to the sound created by the vibration of the tram. The result is a diffused and articulated choreography of small mechanical movements creating a rich soundscape.
Vibrations of the tram’s body are picked by contact microphones and transformed into a soundscape for machines.
Roberto Pugliese (ITA/FI, b. 1980) is a sound and media artist and researcher based in Helsinki. His work consists of compositions, installations and performances and is often concerned with memories, the concept of interface and based on the augmentation of physical media. | <urn:uuid:458b5e87-6dca-47bb-b3d4-23a5c14d4bd4> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://livingspaces.pixelache.ac/festivals/festival-2015/tram-installations-presented-by-kruks | 2019-11-22T20:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496671548.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20191122194802-20191122223802-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.932442 | 631 | [

Raspberry Rhubarb Sweet Rolls made with a raspberry and rhubarb sauce cooked down with a little sugar and thickened into a very delicious filling for this sweet roll dough! This could be a great brunch item or even dessert for your family table!
One of my favorite summertime treats is rhubarb. I’m sure that is pretty obvious from several posts I have written in the past. If you aren’t a regular reader here but you love rhubarb, you will want to check out some of my other rhubarb recipes!
Grumpy’s favorite fruit is the raspberry. My mom would always be sure to send me home with a few pints of fresh picked raspberries from their garden when I would visit because she knows how much he loves them! For this weeks share, I decided to combine the two and make a sauce. I then used it as a filling for my sweet rolls. I love how moist and delicious these rolls turned out!
When we first moved to the Capitol region, I went on a search for all the local markets. I have always loved shopping at them as well as stopping at local farm stands. My parents are vendor’s at the local farmer’s market back home and I love being able to support people who make a living like my Dad and Mom do. While I miss getting my home grown produce from my parents, I do love places like the Troy Waterfront Farmer’s Market, browsing the pasta stand, the wine vendors, fresh fruit and vegetable tables and especially the bakery table! I’ve been known to buy some local cheese, an iced coffee, and even an occasional cronut while at the market and sit under the trees to enjoy a little bit of all of it!
For this recipe I used rhubarb and raspberries that I had in my freezer. You can use fresh if you have it on hand, it doesn’t make a difference when making the sauce as fresh will still release juices when cooking. Fresh or frozen, the rhubarb you use should be chopped into small pieces to help it break down when cooking. The sauce can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator up to 1 week. What you don’t use in the rolls is great as a topping for your hot oatmeal, on pancakes, or even just spread on a slice of toast!
Be sure to check out all the other Sunday Supper Farm Stand Favorites after the recipe!

The number of Israelis leaving the country is higher than the number of those who are immigrating, Arab48reported data from the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) showing.
Data from 2016 showed that 6,300 more Israelis left Israel than those who moved back to the country.
The CBS statistics also showed that between 560,000 and 596,000 Israelis remained abroad at the end of 2016. This number does not include children born outside the country.
According to the data, 53 per cent of the people who left were accompanied by their wives, but only 38 per cent of those who returned brought their wives back with them.
At least 26 per cent of those who left in 2016 emigrated to Israel during the last decade.
The data showed that the average age of those who left Israel in 2016 was 28.3 and 53 per cent of them were male.
In 2016, 8,900 Israelis, from those who remained abroad more than a year, returned to Israel, compared to 8,500 in 2015, including 6,700 Jews and 2,200 non-Jews with an age average of 29.1. | <urn:uuid:317466a4-a1f1-4dc2-97b6-b2727f2d58e7> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180815-data-israelis-leaving-and-not-returning-to-israel/ | 2019-11-22T21:56:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496671548.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20191122194802-20191122223802-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.976915 | 231 | [

In this season, we are feeling an immense sense of gratitude for what God has been doing in the lives of college students this Fall, and what he has faithfully done for the last 25 years on the campus of the University of Illinois at Springfield!
You have watched with us as God has moved in the lives of our friends, children, churches, and in our own lives as a result of campus ministry. Your financial gift towards our end-of-year goal of $13,000 can help even more students find their way back to God . As you consider impacting students, we're excited to share too that this year, a generous donor has provided a matching grant for the first $1,500 given, doubling the impact of your donation!
Before Christmas, Black Friday, even before Giving Tuesday, would you choose to GIVE FIRST to CSF?
Christian Student Fellowship
is a place for students at the University of Illinois Springfield who are on a spiritual journey. Whether you're just starting out or you've been headed this way for awhile, we want to help you find your way back to God! | <urn:uuid:9533e8af-ae3f-48fc-b2cb-aab548740bb0> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.uiscsf.org/home/give-first | 2019-11-13T04:14:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665985.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113035916-20191113063916-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.959773 | 224 | [

Sorry, but I don't know exactly where I can post this message. I would like to know what's "Kreuzweg Ost" ? I think that it's a german freikorps before the war, but I'm not sure of myself.
Thanx for help. | <urn:uuid:14b17f20-4fca-401c-bcc6-45647fc63f40> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=72&t=51134 | 2019-11-13T05:16:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665985.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113035916-20191113063916-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.955302 | 98 | [

Originally developed in Brazil, this Keratin treatment very similar to Brazilian Keratin process transforms the hair by using natural sources of Keratin which penetrates the hair repairing internal damage and coats the hair preventing further damage. The results are smooth, silky and straight hair. The difference with the Keratin is that the ingredients in this will be very concentrated to Repair & Shine and not so Much to liss the hair like the Brazilian blow dry does.
It is not a chemical that restructures the hair. It is a replenishing treatment that reconditions and protects the hair from water and heat damage while enhancing it’s natural shine. Here at Hush we have been providing this service for almost 15 years.
Why does Keratin have such amazing results? Because Keratin is the primary protein of the skin and hair. The application and straightening process ensures the Keratin and moisture are sealed into the hair cuticle, meaning the results are immediately visible
This treatment is available in Hammersmith, Fulham, Shepherds Bush, Putney Call us Now for a Consultation 0208 222 8787 | <urn:uuid:e794f144-8414-44dd-8e07-fc851d0efe48> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://hushclinic.co.uk/keratin-hair-treatment/ | 2019-11-14T16:17:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668529.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114154802-20191114182802-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.929713 | 225 | [

Another light week, although it should have been a bit bigger, but it would seem not one, but two shipments that should have been here this week didn’t even leave as of yesterday. So I guess next week, despite being a short week will have one hell of a list, so brace yourselves. Until then…..

North North Records and Noyes Records have joined forces to reissue one of Canada’s seminal indie rock records. Seeing its first ever vinyl release on 4 November 2014 is “Elements of an Incomplete Map” by Halifax’s North of America.

To complete the full reissue treatment, the package also includes recently unearthed demos.

Afghan Whigs: Gentlemen (Elektra) LP
IN TOMORROW… If there is one album fully deserving of a coming of age celebration, it is The Afghan Whigs Gentlemen. Since its original release in October of 1993, Gentlemen’s lore has grown in stature as fans new and old continue to embrace the album. 33 1/3 published a book about the album in 2008 and Stereogum proclaimed, “From its bombastic opening to its understated end, Gentlemen remains a fine example of what exactly independent rock music is capable of accomplishing.” The blistering 11-track set has retained its visceral connection with fans over the last 21 years from the deeply dark and confessional lyrical content to the no-frills production qualities and of course Greg Dulli’s soul-baring vocal performances. Recorded in Memphis at Ardent Studios and originally released by Elektra Records on October 5th 1993, the album was the band’s major label debut after recording two full-length albums for Sub Pop. In the original 1993 biography for the album, Dulli commented: “It was a bad year for me and some of my friends, in terms of relationships and dealing with some of my own little ghosts. A year of just some kinds of remembrances and stuff that I guess I will never be able to forget, especially since I wrote it all down and made a record out of it.” 21 years later, we’re still all glad he did.

Anjou: s/t (Kranky) LP
“The culmination of four years writing and editing, Anjou marks the first collaboration between Labradford’s Robert Donne and Mark Nelson since the release of that group’s fixed:context LP. Combining modular synthesis, Max/MSP programming and live instrumentation, Anjou deftly weaves noise with gentle ambience and melody with texture. Guitar, bass and Steven Hess’ (Locrian, Fennesz, Pan American) live percussion give the eight pieces an immediacy and create a framework for the more abstract sounds of digital and analog synth programming. The product of twenty plus years of friendship, Anjou is refined and challenging. An extension of the Labradford sound-world but no mere victory lap, Anjou represents Donne and Nelson stepping out and forward, their eyes firmly focusing on the future.”

Black Moth Super Rainbow: Eating Us (Graveface) LP
Limited edition Repress! Grey Colored Vinyl, download, gatefold. Now issued after a long delay. Eating Us, promises to up the ante on the fidelity and melodies that BMSR have become known for. Here, the merry cryptic band has added some new flavors to their already well-established rainbow of sounds, with even more dense layers of lushly complex orchestration, intensely rhythmic drumming from a live, human drummer, vocoder vocals that are anything but robotic, and thick, undulating bass tones. Recorded at Tarbox Road Studios, Eating Us marks the first time BMSR has ventured into a modern recording studio. Production and partial tracking were handled by Dave Friedmann (The Flaming Lips, MGMT, Weezer) whose hands and ears were the only ones trusted to keep the freaked out wiggles and hairy candies fully in-tact, while also expanding them in a more realistic space.

Dean Blunt: Black Metal (Rough Trade) LP/CD
In its review of Dean Blunt’s The Redeemer – which they later named their top album of 2013 – FACT called Blunt “the premier art prankster of our time,” while acknowledging his earnestness; Tiny Mix Tapes, who would give the album the #2 spot in their best of the year rankings, praise the work for its liberating “short-circuiting of the boundaries of taste and instilled critical response,” while speaking to the album’s near-paradoxical emotional depth. Blunt’s newest odyssey, Black Metal, rides this tension between critical detachment and mainlined human feeling, and in fact he climbs ever-steeper theoretical heights just as his emotionally stark songs become, at times, startlingly intimate. A true multi-media vanguard, Blunt employs original instrumentation along with elements of pastiche and his unique vocal performances to create songs and recordings that are not only beautiful, but also tie into his larger project that incorporates music, visual art, and the written word to play with identity, cultural signifiers, and artistic agency. But Black Metal is above all a brilliant, majestic collection of songs, encompassing everything from hypnotic long-form experiments to ballads almost disarming in their sweet simplicity, swirling equally with fascinating sounds and fascinating ideas. Blunt’s influences are wide-ranging, from rock’s underground pioneers (he quotes Sonic Youth in interviews; the album leads with a Big Star sample), to neo-classical composers, to early indie pop (another track samples The Pastels), to classic rock, hip-hop, and R&B. But rather than coldly compiling them, Blunt brings the works and genres he draws from into a new musical and cultural conversation. With his newest, most accomplished, and most vexing album, Black Metal, Dean Blunt invites us to draw our own conclusions in his expansive and fascinating world.

Boards of Canada: Hi Scores (Skam) LP/CD
Skam Records are very proud to announce the re-release of Boards Of Canada’s Hi Scores. Originally released in 1996, Hi Scores constitutes Boards Of Canada’s second official release after 1995’s Twoism. This follows the reissue of their other seminal records by Warp in 2013. The new edition has been re-recorded and re-mastered from the original DAT tapes. The CD is housed in a Digi-Pak sleeve with some extra art. The original image on the back of the sleeve is now in color. Spot varnish finish on the images & text alongside the usual Skam Braille sticker gives the whole package new depth and a refreshing look and feel.

Deerhoof: La Isla Bonita (Polyvinyl) LP
Blame it on the Ramones. After Deerhoof finished recording demos for La Isla Bonita this past February, they began rehearsing for an upcoming tour. Halfway through a run-through of a long-time Deerhoof live favorite, their cover of the Ramones classic “Pinhead,” someone offhandedly asked, “Why don’t we ever write a song like this?” So Greg quickly dashed off a song on a scrap of paper, showed it to the band, and they recorded the breakneck stomper “Exit Only” in one take. “And we suddenly realized,” Greg says, “this is the whole thing, this is what the whole record is about!” La Isla Bonita was recorded in guitarist Ed Rodriguez’s basement. Situated next to a parking garage, it was perfect for making noise till the wee hours. They recorded live, DIY style, “a weeklong sleepover arguing over whether to try and sound like Joan Jett or Janet Jackson, cracking each other up, one guitarist whose name starts with J always putting too much red chile into the rations,” says Greg. But more than that La Isla Bonita is about the eclectic worldwide community that has supported them. You’ll hear them pay musical tributes to their improbable list of heroes-turned-fans: David Bowie, Ric Ocasek, The Roots, Lou Reed, David Byrne, Sonic Youth, The Flaming Lips, Radiohead, Beck. Of course their intent is never reverence, but provocation. They are always on the hunt for that perfect union of the hilarious and the terrifying that one hears in other bands of their generation like Bikini Kill and Lightning Bolt. 2014 has been a killer year for young, aggressive female-fronted bands (St. Vincent, Tune-Yards, Perfect Pussy, Karen O, Speedy Ortiz) and La Isla Bonita is also partly a discourse with them.

Drums: Encyclopedia (Minor) LP
There were two wildly successful full-lengths (The Drums and Portamento), there were hits (“Let’s Go Surfing,” “Best Friend,” “Money,” and more), and for a moment, there was even the possibility of happiness. Then, managers left, band members departed, and The Drums nearly disbanded. Yet, Pierce worked through his bitterness with the kind of revelation only an artist truly in harmony with melancholy could contrive: they were better off broken than stuck in a rut. The two carried on, in their original form, the band of Jonny and Jacob. That decision is Encyclopedia. For the band’s third full-length, Jonny and Jacob first had to reconcile their opposing impulses. Pierce had no-wave on his mind (“I wanted to make a garage record!”), while Jacob was wondering what might happen if they blended “The Sound of Music with obscure Japanese synthesizer pioneers.” In traditional The Drums fashion, the band decided to try… all of it. They holed up in a fittingly bleak rehearsal space and spent the next year composing and recording their most sophisticated and cohesive album yet. A dark miracle, really.

Mark Lanegan: Phantom Radio (Vagrant) LP
Phantom Radio is the brand new full length from the Mark Lanegan Band which will be issued through Flooded Soil/Vagrant Records. Phantom Radio, produced by Alain Johannes, is Lanegan’s ninth release under his own name, his 20th if you include his collaborations, and close to his 50th if you include his guest appearances. Lanegan’s chief compositional tool on Phantom Radio was his phone – specifically an app called Funk Box. “I didn’t bother to hook up my 909 and 808 this time,” he says, “because the app had ’em. I’d write drum parts with it then add music with the synthesizer or the guitar.” The album grew organically from these synthetic roots, taking in Mark’s ongoing love of Krautrock and also an ’80s new wave show on Sirius satellite radio, his favored aural companion as he drives around Los Angeles. “They have a few good shows but the ‘80s one in particular I like,” he adds. “That’s the music that was happening when I started making music. And although the Trees drew on Nuggets psychedelia, 13th Floor Elevators and Love, we were actually listening to Echo And The Bunnymen, Rain Parade, the Gun Club. A lot of British post-punk. We loved that stuff. I just waited until I was in my late forties before I started ripping it off.” British guitarist Duke Garwood assisted with “I Am The Wolf,” violinist Sietse van Gorkom co-wrote “The Killing Season,” and Lanegan’s girlfriend Shelley Brien added vocals to the set’s “Floor of the Ocean.”

Daniel Lanois: Flesh & Machine (Anti) LP
Daniel Lanois is one of the most influential record producers of the modern era: the man who brought Bob Dylan back; longtime collaborator with Brian Eno, soundsculpting a series of mammoth releases for U2; and producer of breakthrough late-career albums by Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris. But before all that, Lanois was an experimental musician, recording his unique guitar voicings for groundbreaking albums with guys like Brian Eno and Jon Hassell, along the way helping to invent a genre called ambient music. What is lost in the wild success of his production career is Lanois’ musical life at the edge, which is where Flesh and Machine, his new album on ANTI-, comes full circle. A wildly ambitious, diverse exploration of modern sonics, Flesh and Machine careens from the huge guitar skronk of “The End” to the haunted landscapes of “Iceland.” But perhaps for the first time, Lanois’ new album highlights the strange parallel evolution that has taken place in Daniel’s music; alongside the developments in IDM that launched from the same 70s avante-intrumental roots as Eno and company, Lanois’ music has developed a rhythmic complexity heard in the most adventurous music by Autechre or Matmos. Only for Lanois, nothing is digital. Dense, visceral music that combines the primitive stomach-pounding volume of rock with the heartbreaking found sonics of early electronic music, Flesh and Machine reminds us that we are bodies in a mechanized world, and that in the midst of our digital noise we must not forget to breathe. LP also contains a CD of the full album.

Matching Mole: s/t (Esoteric) LP
Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of a limited 180 Gram Vinyl LP edition of Matching Mole’s self-titled debut album. Formed in 1971, Matching Mole featured former Soft Machine drummer Robert Wyatt, former Caravan keyboard player Dave Sinclair, guitarist Phil Miller, bassist Bill McCormick with guest keyboard player Dave MacRae. Recorded between December 1971 and February 1972, ‘Matching Mole’ was a wonderful debut that included tracks such as ‘O Caroline’, ‘Signed Curtain’ and ‘Part of the Dance’. This Esoteric Recordings limited LP edition is a facsimile of the original 1972 vinyl release and has been re-mastered from the original CBS master tapes and includes an inner bag with an essay by Sid Smith.

OST: Gravity (Mondo) LP
Steven Price’s score for the lost-in-space epic Gravity, which took the Oscar for Best Original Score, will finally make its way onto vinyl. After rumours swirled around the web, an LP release of the film’s music is officially on the way. Pop culture purveyors Mondo have been tasked with launching the LP into the world, and the label has once again teamed up with James Plotkin to remaster the soundtrack for vinyl. The limited-edition double-LP will be pressed on black vinyl and randomly inserted variant colorway vinyl. The cover art for the release, is taken from a Mondo-released poster designed by Kevin Tong.

Z aka Szajner Bernard: Visions of Dune (In Fine) LP
About Visions Of Dune: A rare synth classic lovingly reissued. French electronic pioneer Bernard Szajner’s 1979 concept album based around Frank Herbert’s cult Dune Trilogy. Dystopian sci-fi drones and otherworldly melodies drift across the stereo spectrum, creating a multi-layered, deeply immersive listening experience. Remastered from the original tapes by Rashad Becker in Berlin, and with a new sleeve reimagined by acclaimed Barcelona-based designer Arnau Pi (Young Turks, Hivern Discs, DJ Kicks). Includes two lost pieces from the original sessions and never before heard, left off because Pathé Marconi EMI considered them to be “too futuristic”! After years spent in relative obscurity, it is time for the best-kept secret of the French underground to leave its protective shadow and finally appear in the full light of day. Fittingly, the release of this alternative soundtrack to Dune coincides with the cinema release of award-winning Documentary Jodorowsky’s Dune about the failed attempt in the mid-70s by the Chilean director of psychedelic cinema classics El Topo and Holy Mountain to film Herbert’s novel.

Personal injuries happen due to the negligence of another person or another person’s intentional actions. The victims are guaranteed compensation by law if they can prove that they sustained injuries because of negligence of the other person. However, to get compensated without hiring a Personal Injury Attorney In Bristol CT, is not easy. An attorney can provide substantial evidence needed for the victim to get benefits. The case involves a legal process which a victim may not understand. The victim needs the help of an attorney to get maximum benefits for personal injury. But what is the role of personal injury attorney?
To defend the rights of a victim
The attorney informs personal injury victims of their constitutional rights. Most of the victims do not understand they are entitled to compensation for personal injuries. Others do not know how to start the process of claiming compensation. The attorney advocates the rights of the victims and takes them through the process of obtaining compensation. An attorney can collect enough proof that the victims deserve compensation. The attorney argues the case in favor of the victim.
Severity of the injuries sustained
The victims may have suffered severe injuries and are not able to initiate the process of claiming compensation on their own. It is possible that the victim suffered permanent disability or cannot see or talk. The attorney is needed in that case to speak on behalf of the victim.
Preparation of documents needed
The law requires a number of documents submitted to the court in the case of personal injury. The victim may not understand the kind of documents needed or how to fill them. An attorney has a duty to prepare all the documents required and submit them to court within the stipulated deadline.
These are some of the key roles of a Personal Injury Attorney In Bristol CT. The legal process involved is too complicated to be handled by an ordinary person. The victims need to hire an attorney to handle the process on their behalf. You should let professionals like MPF Law handle your case professionally and at a reasonable fee. | <urn:uuid:45e32a46-0fde-4764-b80b-0808b75ac6bc> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://globleweblist.com/why-you-need-to-hire-a-personal-injury-attorney-in-bristol-ct/ | 2019-11-18T12:27:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669755.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118104047-20191118132047-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.950961 | 394 | [

Stories in this Regional News Roundup are excerpted from weekly newspapers from around the region. This is part two, with part one having appeared in Saturday’s Tribune.
WAITSBURG — In 2002, the Schulke family lost their beloved son and brother Cooper, who died at age 7½ from a brain tumor. The Walla Walla area family have addressed the heartache of that loss by growing and selling pumpkins. Lots and lots of pumpkins.
Father Jeff, wife Kara, son Campbell and daughter Emerson now grow 27 different varieties of the gourds, with hues ranging from the traditional orange, to white and pink, to blue and green. The purpose of that bounty is to raise funds to support the Ronald McDonald House in Seattle, the place where the family found solace and a welcoming home during Cooper’s treatment, from diagnosis at age 5, and through his subsequent surgeries.
“You go there, your life is a wreck ... and you’re going to be there three months — what do you do? You live 2½ hours away, you can’t commute, you’ve got to be right there,” Kara Schulke said. “You have to live some place. It is definitely geared towards us who live in the rural areas.”
The pumpkin production expanded over the years, and what began as the Schulkes offering pumpkins by donation in a pile outside their farm in 2007 grew to this year’s bounty from their 4-acre field being offered at multiple locations across the region.
Clarence Stearns, of Mr. C’s Smokin Co., offers the pumpkins at his business on Preston Avenue in Waitsburg, and Doug Biolo has now gotten in on the goodwill by presenting a gorgeous display of the range of hues available at Nancy’s Dream Nursery at 503 W. Second St., also in Waitsburg. Other locations include Hot Mama’s Espresso at 147 W. Pine in Walla Walla.
The Schulkes visit the Ronald McDonald House in Seattle every year in late October/early November since Cooper passed away. They visit with the families staying there and “try to bring some happiness to what is otherwise a not-so-happy time,” Kara Schulke said.
Pumpkins are still available at all locations.

Hundreds protest proposed Midas Gold project
McCALL — Gary Dorr asked a crowd of about 300 people in downtown McCall Oct. 12 to get angry and alarmed about what he said was a threat to native salmon and treaty rights by the proposed Stibnite Gold Project near Yellow Pine.
Dorr, a member of the Nez Perce Tribe and Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment, was one of several speakers at a protest rally called the Gathering of Peoples to Protect our Sacred Water and Fish, at Art Roberts Park in McCall.
The event was organized by the tribe and the Save the South Fork group. Participating organizations include Earth Works, Nimiipuu Protecting the Environment, Idaho Conservation League, Idaho Rivers United and Better Neighborhoods.
Participants in the event rallied against the building the proposed gold and antimony mine by Midas Gold on the grounds that the project would be disastrous to the South Fork of the Salmon River watershed.
Before the event, protestors gathered at three locations in downtown McCall, walking in large groups toward the park to symbolize the confluence of people coming together and the journey native fish undertake. Some participants also arrived via boat, paddling from Brown Park.
Protestors carried signs reading, “Save Our Salmon,” “Too Precious to Risk,” “Water is More Important Than Gold,” “Sacred Waters” and “Sacred Fish,” among others.
Dorr outlined how the development of the mine would violate the Nez Perce Treaty of 1855.
“The U.S. constitution states that treaties are the supreme law of the land,” he said. “You can’t make any laws that are against what’s in the treaty.”
He also chastised Midas Gold, saying the company is misrepresenting its business and the project.
Midas Gold Idaho is a subsidiary of a Canadian company and beholden to both Midas Gold Corp. and Barrick Gold Corp., another Canadian company which owns 20 percent of Midas Gold.
He mocked the company’s advertising to portray the company as environmentally friendly.
“They think you’re stupid. ... They think we believe their gradeschool media campaign,” he said to hoots and cheers from the audience.
Idaho Rivers United Executive Director Nic Nelson said the mine is the greatest threat to Chinook salmon and steelhead beyond the dams on the lower Snake River.
“Idaho is the most important spawning habitat for Chinook salmon anywhere in the world,” Nelson said.
“We are vitally important to the perpetuation of this species globally; not even Alaska can offer what Idaho has with our high elevation and spawning habitat,” he said.

After being bested by Thanos earlier this year in Avengers: Infinity War, Iron Man and War Machine may be giving themselves a serious upgrade in terms of weaponry for next year's Avengers 4.
A new set photo has surfaced online, providing a clearer look at what appears to be a proton cannon, a powerful weapon used by both Iron Man and War Machine in the popular crossover fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes first released in 2000.
Set photos of the rumored weapon were first seen briefly in the background in Infinity War at Avengers headquarters with set photos emerging last month showing the massive hardware's return.
Of course, this new weapon could be intended for a different enemy entirely following rumors that the Avengers may be facing something even more powerful than Thanos in the upcoming sequel. Either way, the heroes will need all the firepower they can get.
The untitled sequel to Avengers: Infinity War will release on May 3, 2019. Directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, Marvel’s Avengers 4 stars Robert Downey Jr., Josh Brolin, Mark Ruffalo, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Jeremy Renner, Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Bettany, Samuel L. Jackson, Cobie Smulders, Benedict Wong, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Vin Diesel, Dave Bautista, Pom Klementieff, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Holland, and Anthony Mackie. | <urn:uuid:18f46aeb-c6a5-4331-8af1-39ab59902366> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.cbr.com/avengers-4-set-photo-iron-man-weapon/ | 2019-11-19T23:56:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670268.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119222644-20191120010644-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.861936 | 305 | [

Ron Pratte is a very wealthy self-made man who has spent the past couple of decades amassing an incredible collection of cars, trucks, and memorabilia. He's kept it all cloaked in secrecy, with very few people granted access to see inside.
Until now. Over the summer, he announced his decision to sell it through Barrett-Jackson. As in everything. We were one of the lucky few to be invited out to Pratte's museum in Arizona and granted early access, and there's some insane stuff to be bought if you've got the dough. | <urn:uuid:c50000fe-be1c-4d14-840a-630eb0a2a055> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.thrillist.com/cars/the-best-cars-for-sale-at-the-barrett-jackson-ron-pratte-auction | 2019-11-19T23:40:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670268.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119222644-20191120010644-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.988653 | 117 | [

What Would the Great Economists Do?How Twelve Brilliant Minds Would Solve Today's Biggest Problems
Since the days of Adam Smith, economists have grappled with a series of familiar problems – but often their ideas are hard to digest, even before we try to apply them to today's issues. Linda Yueh is renowned for her combination of erudition, as an accomplished economist herself, and accessibility, as a leading writer and broadcaster in this field. In What Would the Great Economists Do? she explains the key thoughts of history's greatest economists, how our lives have been influenced by their ideas and how they could help us with the policy challenges that we face today.
Global Economic Prospects What are the economic and geopolitical trends that are shaping the world? What should we look out for in terms of opportunities and risks? Dr. Yueh discusses the U.S., China, EU, emerging economies, and more. We live in an age of prosperity, which is likely to become a second golden age (the first was during the 1950s when Americans became prosperous). The emergence of a new global middle class and the digital era means there are more opportunities than ever before. But are we ready to seize them?
Country-Specific Economic Outlooks The U.S., China, Brexit, the EU, emerging economies (e.g. Asia). Dr. Yueh can discuss one of these countries or several of them in pinpointed economic forecasts. What should we expect in the American/Chinese/British/European economies? What drives innovation in the digital age in America? Can China grow rich? What will Brexit mean? Will the euro last? Will developing Asian/emerging markets continue to grow well?

Hanlon Park Residences Stones Corner: Modern apartments just 4km from the CBD
72 Lincoln Street, Greenslopes, QLD 4120 See 41 more projects in Brisbane - South
72 Lincoln Street, Greenslopes, QLD 4120 See 41 more projects in Brisbane - South
This is independent editorial content written by a PropertyMash Journalist. While we try to ensure all information is as accurate as possible, please double check with the developer or real estate agent directly before making a purchasing decision. The information contained within this article may be incorrect or out of date.
Hanlon Park Residences is a new development of 88 apartments in the Stones Corner precinct of Greenslopes. The apartments for sale at Hanlon Park Residences include one, two and three-bedroom configurations as well as two penthouses. The site is located just one minute walk away from the Stones Corner Village retail precinct and overlooks Hanlon Park. Just 4km from the CBD these new Brisbane apartments are close to key public transport links and offer large floor plans, storage and decent balcony sizes. The rooftop offers residential amenities including a pool, BBQ, gym, lawns and landscaped gardens.
Construction on Hanlon Park Residences began in late 2017 and was originally expected to be completed by mid-2019. Now, the completion date has been moved forward to March or April 2019, which is great news for buyers.
The design of the building has a nice little flare architecturally, which will make it stand out in comparison to the other apartment blocks nearby. The interiors are generously spaced and provide really functional living spaces and large balconies to suit owner-occupiers. The one, two and three-bedroom apartments are decently priced, with one bedrooms starting at $385,000, two bedrooms starting at $489,000 and three bedrooms sitting comfortably under $700,000.
The display apartment for the residences will be completed and available for inspection by the start of November which will definitely be worth checking out.
But remember that…
Hanlon Park Residences is located only 4km from the CBD, in the Stones Corner Precinct of Greenslopes. On the corner of Lincoln Street and Zillah Street, these new apartments are surrounded by premium infrastructure. The Stones Corner busway is a 5-minute walk away and Buranda Train Station is only 10 minutes away on foot. Directly behind Hanlon Park Residences also sits a bikeway which flows through the suburb. Access to the apartments from the Pacific Motorway is easy and getting to the Airport Link Tunnel and Clem Jones Tunnel is also easy, meaning you can be well on your way to the coast within minutes.
Stones Corner Village offers a number of cafes, shops and restaurants and is only 200m away. Although the precinct is quite old and tired looking, it’s just been approved for a large upgrade thanks to the Brisbane City Council. For those looking for something more upmarket, Cooparoo Square is a brand new dining and entertainment precinct just over 2km away, which features a tonne of mouth-watering restaurants as well as a cinema.
Hanlon Park itself is also scheduled for a significant upgrade, with works set to commence by the end of 2018. There are plans to create a natural creek and redo the landscaping, which will dramatically change the whole area.
The Mater and PA hospital are close by, and The Gabba sports stadium is just 2km away. The University of Queensland is also very easily accessible via the Eleanor Schonell Bridge, making these residences closer to the top university than apartments in areas like Milton and Auchenflower. With all this in mind, it’s no surprise that the Hanlon Park Residence has a walk score of 94 out of 100. Compare this to West End’s 97, Chermside’s score of 81 and Newmarket’s 50 for context.
Hanlon Park Residence offers residents of their new apartments a carefully planned out rooftop offering, the kind of facilities you’d expect from a much larger development. This recreation deck, dubbed ‘The Courtyard’ is on Level 8 of the building and features a large swimming pool and sundeck as well as a weatherproof BBQ area and seating. The whole external area is finished with landscaped gardens and a decent sized lawn terrace. The Courtyard also includes a large multi-purpose room, a small gym and unisex bathroom facilities (this is often overlooked, so it’s great to see the developers have really considered the functionality of the space here).
The new apartments all include space in the secure car park situated under the building. The three-bedroom apartments and penthouses come standard with two secure car parks, while all other apartments have one car park. There will be 13 secure visitor car parks on site too.
These new Brisbane apartments are designed with owner-occupiers in mind and this is evident from the layout of the building and the quality of inclusions and finishes. The one bedroom apartments start from 68m² internally with 13m² balconies. While this doesn’t immediately strike us as gigantic, it’s important to remember that this larger than some two-bedroom apartments in the CBD which offer a much smaller (or no) balcony. The two-bedroom apartments at Hanlon Park Residences are sized between 75m² and 109m² internally with balconies around 25m². The larger three-bedroom residences offer around 115m² internally with a few balconies as large as 64m².
Some apartments (of one, two and three-bedroom configurations) offer an additional study nook and the one bedroom apartments also offer a multi-purpose room.
The two penthouses also include a multi-purpose room in addition to the three bathrooms. With interior space just shy of 150m² and outdoor space of over 90m², the Level 8 penthouses offer private landscaped gardens too.
All apartments at Hanlon Park Residences have 2.69m high ceilings through the living spaces and kitchen which decreases to 2.5m in the bedrooms. There are two colour palettes to choose from, however, at this stage of construction, this has already been finalised.
With Hanlon Park located on the other side of Hanlon Street, many of the apartments have green views from the balconies. The apartments that face out towards Zillah Street have residential outlooks, however, the park is still visible from most of the apartment balconies.
All balconies are accessible from both the living space and the master bedroom, with at least two doors. The multi-purpose rooms of the one-bedroom apartments sit adjacent to the dining room, making the entire kitchen and dining space feel much bigger than it is.
With most of the balconies only stretching around one aspect of the floor plan (with the exception of the penthouse), the cross-breezes will be minimal. The master bedrooms will be light and airy, with all offering a walk-through wardrobe with built-in shelves and an ensuite with shower. In the one bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, the laundry is tucked away in a cupboard in the bathroom, but the two and three-bedroom apartments offer a separate laundry room completely. Baths come as standard in the two and three-bedroom apartments.
The kitchens are very functional and have been designed with owner-occupiers in mind. The two and three bedrooms have a large breakfast-bar-style bench and double sink, and the three bedrooms also offer large butlers pantries.
The interiors of apartments at Hanlon Park Residences have been finished with timber flooring in the kitchens, dining room and living areas, full-height tiling in the bathrooms and plush carpet in the bedrooms. The kitchens will be finished with Bosch appliances and stone bench tops. The two and three-bedroom apartments will include feature pendant lighting over the kitchen island benches and all apartments will have concealed LED strip lighting in the kitchens as well as the bathrooms.
The air conditioning is fully ducted to the living area and to all bedrooms, with the compressor located on the balcony. These have been tucked away as much as possible, and with large balconies, this doesn’t impede too much on the livability of the outdoor space.
Greenslopes is definitely an up and coming suburb on the fringe of Brisbane. The redevelopment of The Gabba and the Cross River Rail Project are expected to stimulate growth in this region dramatically. Currently, the median price for a two-bedroom apartment in Greenslopes is $371,000. With the demographic being skewed towards young professionals, uni students and families, there’s no surprise that 57% of the suburb is renting, meaning rental demand is consistently quite high.
The rental appraisals for Hanlon Park Residences are as follows:
One bedroom, one-bathroom apartment — $385 to $420
One bedroom, one bathroom plus MPR apartment — $420 to $450
Two bedroom, two-bathroom apartment — $475 to $550
Three bedroom, two-bathroom apartment — $620 to $675
Thanks to the development of Cooparoo Square and the redevelopment of Hanlon Park, the Stones Corner pocket of Greenslopes is currently home to quite a few construction projects. Just across the road from Hanlon Park Residences, you’ll find Oxy Stones Corner, which is due to be completed just before Christmas 2018. Further down Lincoln Street, Lincoln on the Park has recently been completed, with apartments still for sale. Just 200m away on Flora Street, Florence Stones Corner is due to begin construction shortly.
Body corporate fees at Hanlon Park are very reasonable, especially considering the amenities supplied. For a one-bedroom apartment, body corporate is priced around $45 a week. Two-bedroom apartment body corporate fees are estimated to sit between $51 to $77 and $71 to $107 for three bedrooms.
Hanlon Park Residences is a project by CS Development Group. This Queensland-based family business operates as both the developers and the construction company. Unlike some other developers, CS Development doesn’t have a pre-sale quota to meet before they start construction. Instead, they begin building as soon as possible and most sales are made during the later stages of construction. CS Development focuses on one project at a time, before moving on to their next development.
Other recently completed projects by CS Development include Sherwood Residence in St Lucia, as well as Landmark Toowong.
The sales suite is located directly next to the construction site at 62 Lincoln Street in a Queenslander style home. The sales suite is open from 1:30pm to 3:30pm, Wednesday to Sunday. A full two-bedroom apartment display suite is scheduled to open by the end of October 2018. | <urn:uuid:cfccd179-0584-43f9-abcc-b9c11106b457> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://propertymash.com/brisbane/inner-brisbane-east/hanlon-park-residences-new-apartments/ | 2019-11-23T02:20:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496672313.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20191123005913-20191123034913-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.963522 | 2,237 | [

The solar panel must be installed in a location where it can receive full direct sunshine (when available) and usually set facing South at an appropriate angle (where adjustment options allow). The solar panel must not be installed in a shaded or part shaded location and never indoors. The standard specifications of the system (particularly the solar panel Wattage and battery capacity) may need to be adjusted. These components are determined by your geographic location, power consumption (LED Wattage) and the total amount of hours of illumination time required. Such changes to the standard specifications may increase or decrease the cost shown. Please contact us for more information or assistance. The illumination time is estimated and subject to various factors including (but not limited to) geographic location, seasons, temperature, weather conditions & location of product etc. The illumination time of most solar lights can reduce during winter months when the weather is poor and the days are shorter. During this time insolation hours decrease accordingly. Shorter illumination time due to one or more of the above factors does not define the product as being ‘defective’ or ‘not as described’. All solar lights must be used in a completely dark location at night time otherwise they may not illuminate. Nearby strong lighting sources or ambient lighting may affect the operation of a solar light. This does not define the product as being 'defective' or 'not as described'. Please note, if you do not install or use this product for several months the battery may discharge naturally on its own. By allowing a battery to deep discharge it may cause irreversible damage as the battery may then lose the ability to recharge or hold a full charge. Although unlikely, we reserve the right to supply this product with any minor alterations or minor changes to the specifications (shown above by text description or by photographs) due to different supplies or product batches received, incorporating such product changes made by the manufacturer, without further notice. Descriptions, specifications and photographs are updated regularly but may not be current when minor changes to a product have only recently been made.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll shows you how to crush plateaus.
There has never been so much demand on our attention, but much of that is an unhelpful distraction.
“This goes to the discussion about being present in the moment, and being mindful, and finding your way to having the discipline that it takes so that you can center in on what’s right here, and right now,” says Carroll. “You can actually practice that, so whether its that next lift, that next rep, or the next person that you’re dealing with. We’ve got to get really good at not wasting our attention if we want to be really good at what we do.”
Invest in High-Quality Relationships
“Relationships are everywhere. There’s your relationship with yourself, your relationship with others, and then your relationship with the planet and being able to work with those so that you don’t find yourself being defensive, critical and judgmental of others. Create space to care and to listen with empathy, and put action in place. It’s an inner investigation,” says Dr. Gervais.
The highest-performing athletes and executives, though, head into a competition, or a meeting, with the optimism that they can achieve their goals. Pessimism will constrict your motivation. If you don’t back yourself, who else will?
“Optimism does call for vulnerability to believe that things are going to work out,” Carroll says. “It’s much easier to say ‘ah, it’s not going to happen’ and then your expectations are lowered, but what is important is that we find ourselves willing to take the chance and to risk our expectations, and risk our hopes. We have to practice that and it takes courage.”
Let go of things that you can’t control
The only way that we can move productively forward is to identify what we can control and focus on that, rather than get hung up on those things that we can’t change.
Take time out
Reward yourself for working hard by taking time out.
“It’s about finding times to maximise those spaces. So, there are times when you’re on and times when you’re not. For me it’s about identifying those times when I’m in the clear for now. Then you can do whatever you want like take a walk or go fishing or it could be shooting hoops. If you stay clouded all the time it’s a mess. Again, it’s a discipline and it takes practice, but sometimes you have to say ‘Look, I don’t need to check my messages right now,’ or ‘I don’t need to call back right now.’ Then there are times when you work like crazy, so the smallest of moments can really be valuable,” says Pete.
Get good quality sleep
Longer working hours, Netflix, and never-ending emails are all conspiring to rob you of good-quality sleep, and while the human race has evolved on so many levels, sleep is not an area that many of us devote enough attention to. A good sleeping pattern is fundamental for brain function and efficient physical recovery, so without it you’re already one step behind your competition.
Many of us have an idea of where we want to be with our performance, career, sport, or physique but we don’t always ask ourselves what it takes to achieve that goal. We may take multiple trips to the gym every week, but if we don’t understand the purpose of what we’re doing, how can we train correctly? Many of the world’s most successful executives and athletes understand this and have a clear vision set out.
“I haven’t met a world leader, in any domain, that doesn’t recognize the value of the inner-life. We can train three things: our craft, our body, and our mind. The best-of-the-best are not leaving any of those things up to chance. What the best-of-the-best are doing is to remind others that purpose is really important. Purpose shapes the practices,” says Dr. Gervais.

Think price-per-square-metre gives an accurate idea of the cost to build a home? Think again! Learn what’s not included – and what to look out for when comparing quotes.
When it comes to shopping around for a new home builder in New Zealand, one of the very first things most people do is ask for “price per square metre” quote from every potential builder. Unfortunately, most of the time, that isn’t a good indication of the actual cost to build a house.
While one company may offer a cheap square-metre price, they haven’t necessarily provided any more detailed information around what would be required to actually complete the build, rendering the figure almost irrelevant – and certainly not a true reflection of the real cost to build.
And where housing companies will initially advertise a square-metre price of, say, $2800, you often find out later that that’s a “floor-up” quote (so doesn’t include things like foundations, drainage, and earthworks).
What are the hidden costs your “price per square metre” quote may not cover?
The actual cost to build a house in New Zealand is heavily dependent on the site itself, and each site can bring hidden costs.
Before you begin to build on a site, you must do a certain amount of earthworks to get it to the state where you can even build your foundations – including retaining walls that are outside the cost of the house itself, to hold a bank up or make a level platform. This could be an additional $10,000 or even $100,000, depending on your site and how the house fits onto it.
Foundations are another obvious hidden cost. Is the site on a slope? If it is, foundations are going to be more expensive than on a flat site. What is the condition of the ground? Is it stable enough to support the new home or are additional foundations required? This comes down to design, too: Are you designing your home to fit the site as economically as possible? Or will you modify the site to accommodate your dream design? All of this will add to the cost to build your home.
Living rurally? There’s even more to think of. You must allow for sewer treatment, since your site will not be connected to the council system, and you need to put in a water tank and deal with stormwater. Between these two things, you can add another $40,000 to the build price!
These are all compulsory costs that many build companies don’t tell their clients about when they provide cost-to-build quotes. This is a problem, because you must complete them in order to be Code-compliant, so you do have to budget for them.
‘Nice to have’ costs to build a house vs. ‘Must have’ costs
We’ve touched on the unavoidable extra costs involved in building a house and bringing your dream home to life – all involving the ground and the site. Most of the other things that can affect the cost to build are client-directed choices.
The specification of the kitchen, for instance, is a big one. At Landmark Homes, we’ll always allow a good sum for a kitchen, but some people want to add an extra $20,000 to upgrade the kitchen further while others may wish to cut back.
Floor coverings are another large variable cost; there are vast differences between the various floor coverings we can use when building and costing a house. Even with carpets, you’ll see a big difference between the different grades of carpet available.
These are all completely client-directed decisions and variables, which have nothing to do with the building code or compliance. But you should be aware that some building companies can compromise on quality of materials and fittings to achieve a cheaper price per square metre.
What not to scrimp and save on when building a house
Budgets will be budgets, but Warwick always recommends that his clients not cut costs on tapware or door handles, where possible. There are many people shipping substandard products into New Zealand without warranties or quality guarantees.
Warwick recommends choosing only quality brands that you know you’ve got a warranty for, and you know there is service and support available in New Zealand.
At Landmark Homes, we use well-known brands that are well-regarded in the industry for their quality, proven performance, and high level of customer service and post-purchase support.
In contrast, when it comes to flooring, you can save significantly without sacrificing quality by steering away from timber in favour of laminate or vinyl. Click here to see more tips on how to save money on your new home build.
Why you should always Geotech test your site first
The last thing you want is a house build to come in $100,000 higher than expected because of an unknown earthworks issue! To mitigate this risk, Warwick and his team at Landmark Homes West/Central Auckland always performs a Geotech test on a site before going to contract – and advises everyone to do the same.
Since most unknown variables when building a house have to with the ground and site, without a Geotech test, the cost to build is more like an “educated guess.” And at +/-$2000, it’s a small investment that gives a great deal of surety and peace of mind around the real cost to build.
“With a Geotech test complete,” says Warwick, “we will discuss with the client what level of specification they’re expecting for the house itself, which is generally based on their budget, and cost out the house according to this. That being said, our base-specification products are still very good quality – something else to be mindful of when fielding quotes from building companies for a new home build, as not everyone can say the same.”
How Landmark does price-per-square-metre quotes differently
Ultimately, we try to be completely transparent and indicate what the actual cost to build is going to be, rather than offering a weak, watered-down square-metre price that’s not actually meaningful.

The use of oil during outdoor grilling is very important. Don't rush to oil the meat that has just been grilled. Brush the oil after the food is heated and tightened. Brush the oil when other foods can be grilled. Don't brush too much oil. The standard is not to drip oil after brushing. Try to avoid oil dripping into the grill during roasting. Be diligent in turning over when baking to prevent burning. It is best to use long chopsticks when turning it, do not use your hands to prevent burns. When putting raw food, pay attention to a certain distance from the food that will be cooked to prevent contamination of cooked food. When placing the skewers, try to place them toward the middle of the stove, and change the position of the skewers during the roasting process to ensure that the whole skewers are cooked at the same time. Chicken wings are very suitable for barbecue, easy to cook, and the skin has a high fat content, which makes it delicious. When roasting, be careful that the big end is not easy to cook, and should be placed in a concentrated fire. The chicken is not easy to roast. It can be cut into small pieces or cooked in advance to make it delicious. Corn is not easy to roast evenly when grilled directly. It can be cooked just like chicken. Fish tongs are best used when grilling fish. | <urn:uuid:41464372-5250-46b8-8d68-9d829b2bf3dd> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://m.evergrillw.com/news/precautions-for-barbecue-42526386.html | 2021-03-01T09:36:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362481.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301090526-20210301120526-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.959383 | 281 | [

Mound Visits, 5/5/19
It’s been well chronicled that baseball is very different than other sports. There’s no clock. You play until the last hitter is out. The defense handles the ball. And, you play more games. Major Leaguers play 162, minor leaguers about 140, division l colleges 56. The season is a marathon, not a sprint. No one even dreams of going undefeated. Tommy Lasorda once said:
“No matter how good you are, you’re going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are you’re going to win one-third of your games. It’s the other third that makes the difference.”
Some people have described baseball as a “grind.” Some have described life in those terms as well. But unlike a hitter who must face an aggressive pitcher hurling a 95 mph fastball, we don’t have to face the trials of life alone.
Jeremiah shares this encouragement from Lamentations 3:22-23:
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.” | <urn:uuid:1e13876c-4530-4559-bbf1-12e07075280a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://coachkeithmadison.com/mound-visits-5519/ | 2021-03-01T10:43:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362481.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301090526-20210301120526-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.949544 | 272 | [

Fainting is a sudden brief interruption of the blood supply to the brain, so that the blood flows again within a minute or less. This may be brief and inconsequential, or it may be a critical condition requiring immediate hospitalization. Some people faint rather frequently. The person who faints may fall and injure himself.
Faint can sometimes be due to temporary lack of fresh air. The feeling of faintness will occur within one-half to two seconds if the person is standing, and fainting will follow in three seconds. If the person happens to be lying down when this occurs, the fainting may not occur before 5 seconds. The average blood pressure may range from 120-140 but may drop to much lower levels without causing fainting.
Causes of fainting
- temporary low blood pressure
- heart attack
- low blood sugar
- massive bleeding
- coughing very hard
- straining during a bowel movement
Symptoms of fainting
- blurred vision/closed eyes
- rapid breathing (palpitation)
- cold, clammy, pale skin
If the person is semi-unconscious (awake but less alert than usual), ask a few simple questions, such as:
- What is your name?
- How old are you?
- What is the date today?
- Where do you live?
Inability to answer the question or wrong answers suggest a change in mental status.
Warning: What not to do
- Do not try to move the unconscious person to a sitting position.
- Do not give an unconscious person any food or drink.
- Do not slap his face or douse him with cold water.
- Do not place pillow under the head of an unconscious person.
What to do when someone faints
- If you see a person fainting, try to prevent a fall.
- Place person in a lying-down position with face up and head at body level
- Elevate legs to slightly above level of rest of the body. (Use pillow, coat, blanket, etc.)
- Loosen collar or any tight clothing that might interfere with breathing.
- The most important thing to do for anyone who is unconscious is to make sure that his air passages are unobstructed.
- If he appears to have swallowed his tongue, insert your fingers into his mouth and pull it forward.
- If no injuries have been sustained, move the victim so that his head on one side with his tongue falling forward, so that any vomitus or saliva can dribble out of his mouth instead of being inhaled into his lungs.
- If breathing is shallow or stops, apply mouth-to-mouth method of artificial respiration.
- Keep in lying-down position at least 15 minutes after regaining consciousness.
- if patient has merely had dizziness, or vertigo, do not permit him to arise until the symptoms have completely disappeared.
- Keep the person warm until medical help arrives.
- If recovery does not follow, call an ambulance.
How to prevent fainting
- Get enough fluid, particularly in warm weather.
- If you feel like you are about to faint, lie down or sit down with your head bent forward between your knees.
- Avoid standing for too long without moving if you are prone to fainting.
Fainting is most likely to occur when the person is in the upright position. In many instances, just lying down will revive the person.

Beth Arch (author) from Pearl of the Orient Seas on March 04, 2011:
@ Entourage - Probably it was your long standing, which had been exacerbated by candle sniffing, must have been the cause of your fainting.
I didn't know that candle sniffing would help one to stop sneezing. This is something new to me:)
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Your comment here is much appreciated.
Yena Williams from California on March 04, 2011:
This is very useful information. Thanks! Rated up!
Stuart from Santa Barbara, CA on March 02, 2011:
This article was very helpful. I have only fainted once and it was rather silly I must say. I was holding a candle for church and there was a really long reading for Palm Sunday. I had to stand for the entire reading and every time I needed to sneeze, I would sniff the candle because it would help me stop sneezing. After about two whiffs of doing that - I got dizzy and fainted.

Vet Exposed Puppies To Parvo
15 Puppies were exposed to parvo in veterinarian’s office. 2 are hospitalized 13 more at risk
A simple procedure to spay and neuter two litters of puppies has turned into a parvo epidemic due to cross contamination at Martin Veterinary Hospital. Our Beauty & The Beast litter was safe and healthy at their foster home for 6 weeks with 2 rounds of vaccinations. The Apple Dumpling gang, also safe and healthy at their foster home for 3 weeks with their vaccinations. Our fosters have not been in contact with our other parvo dogs or in any veterinary clinic where these dogs were being cared for. We have followed strict puppy protocol. No paws on the ground, no public places except the vet after they have had at least one round of vaccinations.
These two litters never met until they arrived, in separate cars, at Martin Veterinary Hospital on February 27th for routine spay and neuter. After the procedure the Beauty and the Beast litter were placed in a crate, provided by Martin’s, in their “holding” room. The Apple Dumpling gang were also in one of Martin’s crates. Each litter was picked up by their fosters and returned back to their respective foster homes.
March 5th, Bobby, one of the Apple Dumpling Gang, stopped eating and drinking. Late at night he was showing symptoms of parvo. He was lethargic, not eating or drinking,drooling, and his eyes were glassed over in a daze. We had no choice but to take him to VSS West where he tested a strong positive for Parvo. Treatments started immediately.
March 6th, Claudette, one of the Beauty and the Beast litters, stopped eating and drinking and had diarrhea. Her foster/adopter contacted us and we instructed them to take her to our vet first thing in the morning. Sadly, she also tested positive for Parvo. Her treatments started immediately.
We contacted Martin’s on March 6th and 7th, after Bobby and Claudette went to the hospital. We explained that the only place these two litters have been in contact with each other was at his veterinary Hospital. We asked them what they could do to help us. One of the office staff told us there was no parvo in their office and they follow protocol. She told us it was our fault for not providing our own crate. She claimed their office did not expose our puppies. We are 100% certain there was a parvo positive puppy from another rescue in Martin’s office from February 25-27th. The timeline from exposure/incubation and when they broke all coincide with their spay/neuter at Martin’s on February 27. We were told Dr. Martin would call us back on both occasions. He never did.
We wanted Dr. Martin to take responsibility and treat the sick pups, or cover the costs of hospitalization. We gave him ample opportunity to respond. We understand accidents happen, we know parvo spreads easily, all we asked was for them to take responsibility, tell the truth, and help us treat our puppies. Instead, we were lied to and ignored.
We now have 2 puppies, once again fighting for their life and no compensation or care from Martin Veterinary Hospital where all 15 of our puppies were exposed. We Need YOU! We are asking, once again, for our friends and the rescue community to come together and help us save two more innocent pups that really didn’t deserve this.
If you had any unprotected dogs at Martin Veterinary Hospital between February 25-27, or later, there is a good chance they were exposed to Parvo like our dogs were. Please watch for symptoms and don’t delay treatment. Bobby has been in the hospital for 4 days and is not getting better. He will have to stay at VSS West at least through the weekend. Claudette is still vomiting and not doing well either. She will be transferred to a 24 hour veterinary hospital as well.
We now have 9 parvo positive puppies! 13 more could break any day! We desperately need your help! Please donate what you can to help us help them! We are so appreciative and grateful for every dollar you give! | <urn:uuid:dbbaea35-ba67-4ca9-ab7a-0bed6cd5db52> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://luckychancerescue.com/donations/parvo-vet-exposure/ | 2021-03-03T01:36:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178365186.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303012222-20210303042222-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.983795 | 880 | [

Just about every generation of game console has had its shot at bringing Marvel’s iconic arachnid to screen, from the god-awful Atari game to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 of recent memory, the library is filled with hits and misses. Today, we can rejoice. Who knew all it would take to make the best Spider-Man game of all time was allowing a studio to tell a story their way.
Developed by: Insomniac Games
Published by: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Available For: PlayStation 4 (September 7, 2018)
(Note: At the time of writing this I’ve only finished the game’s story but not the dozens of side missions)
Apologies for the delay as I wasn’t finished with the game before heading to All In and watching Stephen Amell take his first wrestling loss this past weekend. So take this with a grain of salt if you must.
From the start, Insomniac Games Marvel’s Spider-Man understands where this character is in mainstream pop culture. There’s no tale to be found here where a radioactive spider bites a teenage kid and we see tons of awkward moments leading to Peter Parker becoming Spider-Man. Insomniac Games takes full advantage that after thousands of comics and multi-million dollar blockbuster films everyone on Earth knows or at least gets just how Spider-Man came to be. You won’t get an origin story so much as you get an evolution of what Marvel envisioned a teenage Spider-Man would grow up to become.
As you spring into action from hearing a police scanner in the beginning moments of the game, Insomniac makes you take a pop quiz you’re not prepared when it comes to controlling a Spider-Man who’s already a master crime fighter. Fortunately getting the basics of swinging through New York and using rich spaghetti strand McFarlane style webbing is easy to grasp but takes some time becoming second nature to you. It’s a choice in narrative and control mechanics by the developer that pays off by showing momentum of story. Take note developers, this how every first-time-out studio telling stories utilizing characters with household recognizable iconography should do it.
You’ll play as a 23-year-old Peter Parker who’s been Spider-Man for about eight years. Peter’s color is filled in by those around him through interactions with some of Marvel’s most well known supporting names Aunt May and Mary Jane Watson, even through his mentorship of one of the Marvel U’s newer creation’s Miles Morales, do we glimpse him as the college graduate figuring out adulthood. Here, the worlds of Spider-Man and Peter Parker collide in the simplicity of him always having to bail on a date to worrying about paying his rent. It’s the touchstone of what endears Spider-Man to fans for generations, relatability combined with superpowers.
Marvel’s Spider-Man features a narrative incredibly well-crafted. As the title character (there is a part where you won’t play as Spidey) you’ll be tasked with taking down Mister Negative (Martin Li) and his gang while the city of New York lives around you. Spider-Man feels more like a white blood cell in the flowing circulatory system of this city as you swing around greeting citizens, stopping minor crimes and such until you get to your next story beat which ranges from stealth based evidence gathering missions to epic super-villain stopping fights. It’s living in these moments that make players feel, even though it’s Spider-Man/Peter Parker’s story, this world is the focus.
Though it’s certainly not a focus of this site’s reviews, there’s an undeniable technical mastery of the New York realized by Insomniac Games. In an oversaturation of open world games, the smoke and mirrors used by developers to mask loading screens and scenery movement become more recognizable even to the untrained eye. Marvel’s Spider-Man isn’t a game devoid of similar tactics in the name of creating a smooth open world experience, but it is one of the few games that succeeds in smoothing out its air bubbles to the point of unnoticeable. As different parts of the city open up to exploration or cutscenes transition you into places like The Raft prison break sequence (which by the way happens much later in the game than I’d anticipated from the trailers), Insomniac’s curtain and distraction is captivating performance and short enjoyable dialogue. A testament to the game’s writers (with the help of comics veteran Christos Gage), spidey voice Yuri Lowenthal and the rest of this cast.
Marvel’s Spider-Man isn’t without flaws. Some of its hiccups are minor gripes that plague even great games such as the Batman Arkham series. Spider-Man has a ton of power enhancements and fluid combat acrobatic moves that will look awesome using the game’s photo mode to create panels straight out of a Ditko drawing. The issue is the game’s challenge never really makes you use the full arsenal beyond a few quick button combos you’ll quickly master. In-game challenge might cause you to switch up a few suit modifications but players will find themselves never calling back moves beyond the moments they’re introduced. I already read tons of comics where only parts of Spider-Man are utilized. In a one-shot experience, I’d like everything this character is capable of executing to feel like it truly counts.
When it comes to the big issue, comic book fans may be disappointed by the title’s lack of villains gallery. The focus is on Mister Negative and one more villain I won’t spoil for you. This lack of baddies means boss fights with the sinister six are few and far between even teetering on unbalanced storywise. For a franchise with movies where we all once said “there’s too many damn villains in this” I find myself shocked that I’m saying the opposite now. While there are hints of characters like Mysterio, Chameleon, Blood Spider, and more; you won’t be fighting them here. Something you could easily check off to saving something for future games, but there’s no shortage of Spider villains in the Marvel universe thus making the economic choices with Marvel’s 700+ catalog of characters a bit mind-boggling. While the minimal villains gallery could be a minor gripe to those who don’t know the full lineage of Spider-Man, for the comic book hardcore it will keep this game from being a perfect 10.
It’s probably selfish of me to admit that the future Insomniac has with Marvel’s Spider-Man has me more excited than simply enjoying this first game. So many of this game’s issues are problems the developer will no doubt improve upon in the sequel as it finds a balance in its control scheme to in-game needs. Then there’s the relationship with Marvel itself. Bill Rosemann and the Marvel Games division gave Insomniac a web cartridge worth of rope in re-imagining what Spider-Man can be and now that they’ve proven this method works, a sequel will be an even bigger collaboration between these two entities. I’ll say this: I want to see Insomniac’s version of Venom and Carnage.
Insomniac created a more ambitious superhero game for a first time out than Rocksteady did with the Arkham games, though Batman surpasses it in the sheer amount of characters utilized in some way. Nonetheless, Marvel’s Spider-Man is the real deal turning point towards fully realizing true Marvel Comics experiences in the art of video games. The only way it could get more comic book is if you smelled the old newsprint scent of a comic book store when you opened the box. I don’t care what convention or show is happening this weekend, cancel it. Because there is no level of enjoyment that could rival Marvel’s Spider-Man on PlayStation. It is the spirit of comics in video game form! | <urn:uuid:8c035695-4fe1-4f14-8b0d-bb67aa5c2fcb> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.comicsbeat.com/spoiler-free-spidey-review-marvels-spider-man-is-the-best-of-spider-mans-games-but-not-playstation-exclusives/ | 2021-03-03T02:08:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178365186.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303012222-20210303042222-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.935208 | 1,717 | [

HOPEFULLY those smashing types at Liverpool Empire will be stocking up on interval macaroons for the run of its latest touring musical.
Based on those spoof mid-‘80s sketches, Acorn Antiques: The Musical, opens on Monday night - assuming Mr Clifford can park the Wolsey close enough to Lime Street.
Victoria Wood is behind the script, music, lyrics and direction of the show, which tells of another unlikely catastrophe to strike Manchesterford and its premier curio emporium.
Miss Babs needs to keep Acorn Antiques open, but soulless chain stores, especially The Hungry Bean coffee shop, are forcing sole traders out of their premises.
It calls for desperate measures to get everything back in order before breaking for home-made sherry, but are Babs, Berta, Clifford and the redoubtable Mrs Overall up to the task?
For the purposes of musical theatre, a new character, Miss Bonnie, arrives at the shop who turns out to be the sister of both Babs and Berta, with all three transpiring as the daughters of Mrs Overall.
Ria Jones takes on the difficult task of making the part of Mrs Overall, played so memorably by Julie Walters, her own for this run, but with every aspect of the production overseen by Wood, a renowned perfectionist, it should be safe in her Marigolds.
At one point, she will have to tap dance while holding her tea tray, so let’s hope so.
Acorn Antiques: The Musical runs until Saturday, March 17.
Performances are at 7.30pm, with 2.30pm matinees on the Wednesday and Saturday.
Tickets start at £10.50 for some matinee seats, up to £29.50 for Friday and Saturday evening shows.

Sen. Patrick Leahy to visit North Bennington, learn more about water contamination
Lawmaker will be in North Bennington on Friday
Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy will spend Friday learning more about the contaminated well water in North Bennington.
Leahy's office announced Wednesday that he would hold two events on the well pollution.
Leahy will be briefed by state officials at the Vermont Health Department's office on Main Street at noon.
He will then meet with residents and city officials affected by the situation at the North Bennington Railroad Station at 1 p.m.
Leahy's event at the railroad station will be open to the public.
More residents learned Tuesday that their well water tested positive for abnormal levels of PFOA, a cancer-causing chemical.
The wells were within a 1.5-mile radius of the former Chemfab plant. Soil testing began Wednesday to check for ground contamination.
Residents are gathering at Bennington College Wednesday to learn more about the contamination. Gov. Peter Shumlin was expected to speak at that gathering.
So far, 58 of 185 wells have tested positive for PFOA contamination.
In neighboring Hoosick Falls, New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday contamination was below threatening levels. | <urn:uuid:d000a61f-06ef-45e6-bd26-e1a4e18baedc> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.mynbc5.com/article/sen-patrick-leahy-to-visit-north-bennington-learn-more-about-water-contamination/3326609 | 2021-03-04T16:11:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369420.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304143817-20210304173817-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.950682 | 263 | [

Over time and during conquest, Texas Mexican food sustained Native American memory and identity. Cooking foods like nopalitos, deer and tortillas, indigenous women led the cultural resistance against colonization.
15,000 years ago, Native American women domesticated the plants and cooked the same game and fish we eat today. It’s the “comida casera,” (home cooking) of contemporary Texas Mexican American families. Comida casera was made famous in the late 1800s by indigenous businesswomen, chefs, who operated outdoor diners in downtown San Antonio. Later dubbed “Chili Queens,” the chefs were harassed and forced out of business, victims of racism.
But other women followed in their footsteps throughout the state, they kept on cooking. Chefs, artists and community leaders in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Brownsville and other cities share intimate food experiences that shape who they are today, facing a history of discrimination, dispossession and violence.
The road movie weaves through Texas cities, naming the racism that erased Native American history and celebrating the food that kept alive the community’s living memory and heritage.
Food narrates who we are, and indigenous Texas Mexican food questions what it means to be “American.” It offers a new type of encounter. One of understanding, building a table where ALL ARE WELCOME.
Inspired by the award-winning history and cookbook, Truly Texas Mexican: A Native Culinary Heritage
Our production team is an international Texas-Latin America collaboration:
Chef and Author, Adán Medrano, his work has been featured in The New York Times , The Washington Post and The Houston Chronicle.

Join the executives from Foster Web Marketing, a leading lawyer website design firm, to learn about the DSS system and how it works with website redesigns.
A website redesign can be an intense and cumbersome process, especially if the backend coding of the website has to be altered. Unlike websites redesigns like this, DSS was designed so that the backend can stay the same and only the website appearance changes.
DSS is a powerful and customizable tool that allows for a functionality that can dramatically improve conversion rates and lead generation. This dynamic and flexible aspect of DSS is what makes it unique and can provide your firm with a striking competitive advantage.
When you eventually redesign your website, as online trends change, DSS will remain unchanged throughout the redesign process. This allows you to keep all of your content and optimization work in place.
Learn more about how you can take advantage of Foster Web Marketing’s DSS system to improve your firm’s online marketing by calling 888.886.0939. | <urn:uuid:11376d10-18f3-4ac0-a3ba-896fd9d03c18> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.fosterwebmarketing.com/video/dss-will-work-with-your-redesign.cfm | 2021-02-24T22:45:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178349708.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20210224223004-20210225013004-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.930346 | 206 | [

Infant Feeding Alliance sent the following response to KLM Royal Dutch Airlines after it stated on social media that its flight attendants ‘may request a mother to cover herself while breastfeeding, should other passengers be offended by this’.
Thank you for responding to recent feedback on your breastfeeding policy. Whilst we appreciate your aim may be to offer an individual parent options as to where they might comfortably feed their baby, we also feel it is imperative that your policy makes it clear to everyone that babies can be fed anywhere their parents need or want to feed them. If others are not comfortable with this, the onus ought to be on them to manage their discomfort and not on the parent who is feeding their baby.
We ask you to amend your policy accordingly to ensure no parent is ever asked to move or cover up and parents who are breastfeeding or expressing milk can feel comfortable and welcome on board your airline.

Underlining its commitment to enabling more inclusive and diverse workplaces, MG (Morris Garages) Motor India has today inducted the pilot batch of professionals under ‘Genesis’, a unique train and hire programme aimed at empowering young women in the country.
Through the programme, the company provides extensive training on automotive sales and customer experiences through a blend of classroom learning, on-the-job training, and online learning.
Launched in association with Prudentia Learning Solutions, it equips young women with the skills and expertise they need to secure employment as a relationship manager with authorised MG dealerships.
The first batch was handpicked after rigorous evaluation of more than 5,000 applicants and completed 510 hours of blended learning modules under the 55-day programme. Graduates are now being placed at MG dealerships across Delhi-NCR as relationship managers.
“As an organisation, our commitment to empowering women reflects in the number of women employees that are a part of the MG Motor India family. Through ‘Genesis’, we want to continue maintaining a healthy diversity in our workforce by providing better employment opportunities to women from semi-urban and rural areas. The success of the pilot batch motivates us to continue giving women access to career opportunities with the company,” said Gaurav Gupta, chief commercial officer.
The company has been facilitating the creation of a more equal and diverse society with various in-house and on-ground initiatives. Women professionals currently account for 31% of the organisation’s workforce – the highest in the industry.
Going forward, there are plans to expand the ambit of the programme to other regions and train more than 100 young women professionals on aspects such as brand, customer centricity, soft skills, industry, product know-how, and allied services etc. | <urn:uuid:7eb77829-3057-4340-9ad1-1e756570e333> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/passenger-vehicle/cars/mg-motor-india-inducts-young-women-professionals-under-train-hire-programme-genesis/73765830 | 2021-02-28T01:29:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178359624.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227234501-20210228024501-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.939325 | 372 | [

A stillbirth is a baby born dead after 24 completed weeks of pregnancy.
If the baby dies before 24 completed weeks, it is known as a miscarriage or late foetal loss.
Stillbirth is more common than many people think. There are around 4,000 stillbirths every year in the UK and 1 in every 200 births ends in a stillbirth. Eleven babies are stillborn every day in the UK, making stillbirth 15 times more common than cot death.
What causes stillbirth?
Around two-thirds of stillbirths are linked to placental complications. This means that for some reason the placenta (the organ that links the baby’s blood supply to the mother’s and nourishes the baby in the womb) is not functioning properly.
About 10% of stillborn babies have some kind of congenital abnormality. A small percentage of stillbirths are caused by problems with the mother’s health, for example pre-eclampsia, or other problems, including cord accidents and infections.
Read more about causes of stillbirth.
What happens when a death is suspected?
If it’s suspected that your baby may have died during your pregnancy, cardiotocography (CTG) or an ultrasound scancan be used to check if your baby’s heart has stopped.
If your baby’s death is confirmed and there is no immediate risk to your health, you will usually be given time to think about what you want to do next.
You may be able to choose whether you would like to wait for labour to begin naturally, or if you want it to be started with medication (induced).
If your health is at risk, the baby may need to be delivered as soon as possible.
It is rare for a stillborn baby to be delivered by caesarean section.
Read more about how stillbirths happen.
After a stillbirth
After a stillbirth, many parents want to see and hold their baby. You may also wish to give your baby a name and create memories by taking photographs or a lock of hair, for example. It is completely up to you what you want to do.
Finding out why a stillbirth has happened can be helpful if you want to get pregnant in the future, so you will be offered tests to try to find out why your baby died.
You will also be offered an opportunity to discuss having apost-mortem examination of your baby. A post-mortem will not be done without your consent.
By law, all stillborn babies have to be formally registered. In England and Wales, this must be done within 42 days of your baby’s birth.
A senior doctor will discuss the results of the post-mortem (if you had one) and any other tests in a follow-up appointment several weeks after the birth. You may also want to discuss any possible effects on future pregnancies.

Help and support
Stillbirth and late miscarriage can be devastating for the parents of the baby, and also affect wider family members, including children and friends.
You may find it helpful to discuss your feelings with your GP, community midwife or health visitor, or with other parents who have lost a baby.
There are many support groups in the UK for bereaved parents and their families. Our directory can help you find bereavement support services in your area.
Some of these groups are run by parents who have experienced stillbirth, or by healthcare professionals, such as baby loss support workers or specialist midwives.

Can stillbirths be prevented?
Not all stillbirths can be prevented. However, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk of having a stillbirth, such as:
- stopping smoking
- avoiding alcohol and drugs during pregnancy –these can seriously affect your baby’s development, as well as increasing the risk of miscarriage and stillbirth
- attending all your antenatal appointments so that midwives can monitor the growth and wellbeing of your baby | <urn:uuid:b03b8ca7-e76e-4b93-9c36-3ae03b0fa687> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://frankieslegacy.co.uk/had-a-diagnosis/stillbirth | 2021-02-28T00:52:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178359624.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227234501-20210228024501-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.958889 | 851 | [

Young actors NTR and Ram Charan are soon joining hands for a multi-starrer and what makes the film big is that SS Rajamouli will direct this prestigious project. The film will be launched officially during May this year and the regular shoot will kick-start from the mid of September. The pre-production work of this film is on cards and Rajamouli flew to USA to finalize the looks of the lead actors. NTR and Charan flew to Los Angeles, USA last night for ten days workshop in USA.
Top Hollywood technicians have been roped in and the look test will conducted for Charan, Tarak. Their looks will be finalized during this workshop and the duo will return back to Hyderabad by the end of next week. There are wide speculations that NTR, Charan will be seen as boxers and they will be playing brothers in the film. DVV Danayya will bankroll this prestigious project which will release during summer next year. | <urn:uuid:a0368334-4b9b-479e-b8ab-db37fe778c5f> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.telugujournalist.com/gossips/ntr-charan-fly-usa/ | 2021-02-28T00:52:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178359624.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227234501-20210228024501-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.963794 | 202 | [

So a couple of multiple listing services have slapped the virtual wrists of one HomeLight, a Google-backed startup that seeks to match buyers with real estate agents.
It appears that there is some murkiness as to what HomeLight may or may not do with the MLS data that its algorithms use to match a buyer with a real estate agent.
"After reviewing the site, I contacted the broker member and asked that he remove our MLS data that is being used to generate statistics, agent photos, etc., on his site because it fails to comply with our MLS rules," Pismo Coast Association Executive Cindy Doll told Inman News.
Even though HomeLight was initially approved by the Pismo Coast Association as an MLS member, and is therefore entitled to receive MLS data, the trouble is it does not have the right to do much with it.
The Pismo Coast Association, in addition to questioning HomeLight’s eligibility as an MLS participant, has also informed the company that it needs to obtain a licensing agreement or an Internet Data Exchange agreement in order to display MLS data online, or create a secondary product from the data it’s receiving.
According to Inman News, Doll told HomeLight CEO Drew Uher that he was "not authorized to use the data to create this secondary product and therefore you need to take the data down."
How … innovative!
The sin and the sinner
Let’s make sure we understand the sin that HomeLight has supposedly committed here. In its own language, HomeLight tells us why it exists at all:
"The HomeLight story started when co-founder Drew Uher and his wife set out to buy their first home," the company explains on its website. "Finding the right real estate agent was a daunting process. There was no real way to research an agent’s past transactions, and searching through review sites took hours. After working with several different agents, it was clear that not all of them are created equal."
How shocking! Not all real estate agents are created equal? The members of the "Raise the Bar" movement in real estate would, I’m sure, be stunned silent. Or not.
So the fresh-faced young technologists at this company say they put together a database on 2 million real estate agents (remember that NAR has only about 1 million members) and created something newish.
As the company describes it, "the HomeLight proprietary algorithm creates unbiased personalized agent recommendations for prospective homebuyers and sellers by analyzing transactional data and the licensing records of over two million real estate agents. The data can then be filtered by city, neighborhood, property type and price to match buyers and sellers with the best agents for their needs."
The goal, then, is to introduce buyers and sellers to real estate agents. And to make money from it somehow — whether that’s through a referral fee or selling leads or some other way is unclear right now.
But however HomeLight makes money, what they are trying to do is to link consumers with real estate agents, based on the agents’ qualifications.
Let’s be clear about this: HomeLight is not trying to "disintermediate" the real estate agent. In contrast, HomeLight is trying to "intermediate" the real estate agent as much as possible, going so far as to say things like:
"The best buyer’s agents are tough negotiators who can get you the best price for your home. HomeLight can find these agents and save you money."
"We find agents who specialize in your target area. Whether it’s knowing price trends, local schools, or listings before they hit the market, these agents have the knowledge to get you the home you want."
"HomeLight can identify agents who are simply better at marketing and prepping a home for sale, resulting in up to a 10 percent higher selling price."
One should note that every single real estate broker, Realtor association and real estate agent in the country repeat these talking points — even if they are debated in some academic circles. So to the extent that a tech company in San Francisco is out there preaching the same message as NAR is preaching, presumably HomeLight is a Friend of the Industry.
Don’t feel alone, HomeLight
But, what HomeLight is doing may be verboten, we hear, because although it was admitted as a member of the Pismo Coast Association, it may not meet the definition of an eligible MLS participant after all. As the National Association of Realtors defines the term, just possessing a brokerage license — as HomeLight does in California and a number of other states — is not necessarily enough to qualify you as an MLS participant.
The Pismo Coast Association points to NAR policy, which says MLS participants must "actively" try to list property on the MLS, or accept offers of cooperation and compensation made by other listing brokers or agents in the MLS. The world would like to know what "actively" means, of course. A company like HomeLight could offer and accept cooperation and compensation, except that they have no listings themselves and bring no buyers to the table — but if they did, they would offer and accept cooperation and compensation. Very confusing.
But we don’t need to dive into all of the intricacies of the definition of "MLS Participant" because, under any definition, Seattle-based brokerage Redfin qualifies as an MLS participant. And that didn’t stop the industry from greeting Redfin’s Scouting Reports — which also used MLS data to tell consumers about real estate agents — with the same enthusiasm as a new bride would greet a gang of homeless vagrants at her wedding reception.
And lest you think this is the MLS being the bad cop, the Houston Association of Realtors, which operates the MLS in its market, tried something very similar in 2010. The resulting controversy was something to behold indeed. HAR has since then retreated to a voluntary consumer rating system that had SmartMoney Magazine making acidic comments about it.
Noting that Houston agents received an average rating of 4.94 out of 5, SmartMoney’s Alyssa Abkowitz pointed out that in reality that score represented the average score of just 12 percent of HAR’s agents.
"Another 7 percent participate in the rating program but don’t make their results public," Abkowitz wrote. "The rest — some 17,000 real estate pros — don’t get rated at all, either by choice or because they haven’t completed enough transactions."
And because HAR surveys only consumers who have closed a transaction, the ratings don’t include anyone who walked away — satisfied or not.
"Those qualifications help explain why fewer than 0.3 percent of the Houston agents have been awarded a low one-star rating by their clients — a figure that seems to defy reality, given all the things that can go wrong in a home deal," Abkowitz concluded.
HAR says low-rated agents often opt out of the program.
So it seems clear that "the industry" — or at the very least, the majority of brokers and agents — don’t like, don’t want, and don’t need objective scorecards.
So, what’s at stake here, really?
Assuming the whole participant angle is just smokescreen, one has to ask what’s really going on here? What’s at stake?
Cui bono? That’s Latin for "who benefits?"
Good, qualified agents who are actual local experts and have an actual track record of accomplishment have every incentive in the world to support an objective, data-driven ratings system and any technology that would introduce them to new consumers. That seems obvious. And based on personal conversations since 2010 when the HAR thing hit the fan, I know that to be the case.
HomeLight wants to promote good real estate agents who get results and then match consumers up with local experts with a track record of local expertise. Redfin and HAR wanted to do the same thing. HomeLight is getting hammered for its troubles, just as Redfin and HAR got hammered for their efforts.
Why? One has to wonder who it is that opposes objective ratings systems, and lead generation efforts that match consumers with qualified local experts. Who benefits from such policies?
In October, I heard the most amazing thing from a consumer at the HearItDirect SoCal event. (Disclosure: I am a minority partner in HearItDirect.)
This consumer is a 20-something executive at a major company in Southern California who admits that he comes from money. He has a great job and disposable income that allows him to be a real estate investor in this troubled economy.
He told me that he works with professionals every single day — lawyers, bankers, accountants and business managers. He thought that real estate agents, based on his experience, were "lazy and stupid."
He said that if he could find a way to do real estate deals without involving an agent, he would. As things stand today, he regards brokers and agents as just a transaction cost, like taxes and transfer fees.
Would he have felt the same way if he had been matched up with a real estate agent who knew how to work with him, who was a true local expert in real estate?
What is at stake is nothing less than the future of the real estate industry, as the next generation of consumers takes over the market. That young Gen Y executive is not an anomaly, but the leading edge of a trend. HomeLight’s founder, Drew Uher, is not a weirdo, but the likely demographic of Gen Y consumers: highly educated professionals with money.
It is imperative that these smart, educated, tech-savvy consumers have one experience after another with real estate agents that lead them to believe that real estate professionals are just that: accomplished professionals with real expertise and knowledge. The competition is not other real estate agents, but the post-agent automation-driven future.
As long as the institutions of real estate, and the rules and policies of the industry, work to protect the bad and below-average real estate agent by pretending that everybody is the same as long as they have a license or an R after their name, consumers will continually have one bad experience after another. They will come to conclude that real estate agents are just another necessary evil they must tolerate, like taxes and transfer fees.
Except that using a real estate agent is not codified into law. It’s a matter of consumer choice and the free market. And as surely as day follows night, the free market economy will find a way to minimize necessary evils. It might take a while, but it will happen.
What to do?
So what to do about all this, then? Even if you agree with all this analysis, what do you do about it?
There’s no way to offer a broad sweeping agenda of reform, but I can say this, as far as it comes to HomeLight and companies like it.
The industry and all of the institutions and organizations that make up the industry, from the association to the MLS to brokers, must do everything possible to encourage, not discourage, innovation that puts real estate professionals front and center.
MLSs should be falling over themselves to figure out how to get innovators all of the data they need with the minimum of restrictions to make real estate look good in the eyes of consumers.
Associations should be looking for every possible way to advantage the great consumer-centric brokers and agents, at the expense of those who make everybody look bad. Franchises and brokers should be doing everything they can to support that effort.
If that means sacrificing some agents who are bad at their jobs, so be it.
Great brokers and great agents have a moral imperative to put the bad ones out of business. The associations and MLSs have a moral imperative to uplift the good and to put down the bad.
This shift won’t be easy, but things worth doing rarely are. Such a move would be controversial, but the essence of leadership is to lead.
On such considerations, the future of real estate hangs in the balance. Cui bono? Cui bono indeed. | <urn:uuid:d2a8e3d5-e7eb-4efc-8791-5921161642ea> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://www.inman.com/2012/12/11/objective-agent-ratings-nothing-fear/ | 2021-03-01T16:39:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362741.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301151825-20210301181825-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.961612 | 2,540 | [

Fibroid Treatment Options: Alternatives to Hysterectomy
For the many women who experience no symptoms, fibroid treatment is not necessary. For others whose symptoms are mild to moderate, over-the-counter pain relievers, exercise and/or changes in diet may be the only uterine fibroid treatments needed. Some women who do not have severe symptoms may delay fibroid treatment until after menopause, when symptoms sometimes become less severe or disappear spontaneously.
The following treatments are alternatives to hysterectomy.
This surgical procedure was developed to meet the need for uterine fibroid treatments that preserved the uterus and a woman’s childbearing potential. The procedure, in which only the fibroid tumor or tumors are surgically removed, became the preferred fibroid treatment for women desiring to keep their fertility.
Like hysterectomy, however, standard myomectomy requires general anesthesia and a long recovery time. On average, the procedure results in more blood loss than hysterectomy or other uterine fibroid treatments. Laparoscopic myomectomy, which is less invasive, is sometimes possible and has a much shorter recovery time.
GnRH agonists are drugs that block estrogen production, starving uterine fibroids of estrogen and causing them to shrink. Lupron is the drug most commonly used, often in combination with other uterine fibroid treatments. Lupron may be used to shrink fibroid tumors, making fibroid treatment with surgery easier to perform. But shrinkage is temporary and the drug also is associated with menopause-like symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, and premature bone mineral loss.
Endometrial Ablation and Resection
In this outpatient procedure, a gynecologist places a scope through the cervix into the uterine cavity to burn and scrape the lining of the uterus. The procedure also is used to burn and cut out uterine fibroid tumors that can be reached through the scope. The removal of the lining (endometrial ablation) stops bleeding, but not all uterine fibroid tumors can be removed with this technique. Like hysterectomy, this fibroid treatment causes permanent infertility. A heated balloon may also be used.
Myolysis or Cryomyolysis
These are uterine fibroid treatments in which uterine fibroids are burned or frozen via laparoscopic surgery.
Focused Ultrasound Therapy
MR-guided, focused ultrasound obliterates tumors by focusing high-intensity ultrasound beams on the growths, raising the temperature enough to destroy them. The treatment is guided by magnetic resonance (MR) images. The MR scanner allows the Interventional Radiologist to see where the fibroid is and what has been treated and to monitor temperature changes inside the body. Only a small spot is treated at a time and the process is repeated, usually about 50 times per session, until the fibroid is destroyed. The technology is limited to symptomatic women not interested in childbearing who have only a few fibroids. Large fibroids and multiple smaller fibroids are difficult to treat. One caution is that, because this is a new technology, the long-term effects are not yet clear.
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE)
This is a new, non-surgical uterine fibroid treatment. It is safer than uterine fibroid treatments that require surgery, and a highly effective alternative for some women who strongly desire to avoid hysterectomy, or are likely to experience difficulty with myomectomy. Although it is relatively new compared to uterine fibroid treatments such as hysterectomy and myomectomy, more than 200,000 women have been treated with UFE.

This Lil Wayne” has certainly found a home on our television screens. With the title of one of the best-selling artists of all time, we have no doubt that the hip-hop artist has made a name for himself in his industry. Need more proof? Lil Wayne overtook Elvis Presley as the man with the most entries in the Billboard Hot 100 charts with 109 songs. Yes, Elvis Presley! Not many artists can boast of having reached Lil Wayne’s peak during their entire career.
Lil Wayne is obviously not the first choice for names you would give your little boy, so it’s obvious that it’s just a stage name. The artist was born on September 27, 1982, as Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. and is from New Orleans, Louisiana. Coming from the ‘most unique’ city in the USA must have been a great burden for the artist who joined Cash Money Records at the tender age of nine. It’s quite impressive, at nine years old some of us still hold on to our mother’s skirts.
His career as a rap artist began in 1991, and 8 years later his solo debut album Tha Block Is Hot (1999) was awarded platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The following albums were just as good, but the album that released him there was his sixth, Tha Carter III, which included songs like ‘Lollipop’, ‘A Milli’ and ‘Got Money’. It is still considered his most popular album today.
Lil Wayne’s Height
It would be impossible to lose Lil Wayne in a crowd, his numerous tattoos would definitely highlight him. In addition to his tattoos, Lil Wayne, popularly called Weezy, has other special features. His eyes are dark brown and his black hair was worn in dreadlocks long ago. The artist has an athletic build with a well-trained body, with well developed abdominal muscles.
We notice this in his numerous shirtless appearances and performances. The real question here is, how many shirts does Lil Wayne own? Back to the subject of Lil Wayne’s height, the rap artist is somehow on the short side at 5 feet 6 inches (1.68m). He is on a par with movie stars Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood. The ‘Lil’ in his name was apparently not just for effect.
Lil Wayne’s Weight
His well-trained body is clear proof that the rap artist makes every effort to keep fit. Weezy himself has confirmed that he has a training routine that helps him keep his weight at 59 kg. He became a personal favorite when he admitted that his routine does not require him to go to the gym every day because everyone secretly hates the gym. Except for the fitness-conscious celebrities who rub their workouts in everyone’s face. He balances the gym visit with the activity outbursts during the day.
Lil Wayne loves skating and incorporates it into his everyday life. The rap artist also stresses the importance of staying hydrated, which goes hand in hand with eating foods packed with healthy proteins such as beef and eggs. His other more conventional exercise routines include pull-ups, bicep curls and bench presses. All this works together to give him the athletic killer body we all see, although genetics definitely plays a role.
Lil Wayne’s Measurements
The rap artist’s other body measurements such as biceps, chest, and waist remain unknown, but without a doubt, we can say in our hearts that he has a body that many men aspire to. He wears US size 8, European size 39 and British size 6 shoes, which is relatively small, but not very unusual for someone of his stature.
Also, did you know:
- Weezy’s first stage name was Shrimp Daddy, boy, are we glad he picked Lil Wayne.
- When he was 12 years old, he shot himself by mistake with his stepfather’s gun, getting shot is the reason why he writes,
- The artist does not believe that he can compete with Kendrick Lamar, a way to have confidence in himself! But we have to agree with him.
- Although he was in ‘everybody’s’ song, his favorite feature was in Destiny Child’s ‘Soldier’.
- Lil Wayne uses marijuana for headaches… and coughing, flu, hiccups, blisters and death. | <urn:uuid:d20f404b-ad1b-45d5-ba5c-2a9018361939> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://wikiace.com/lil-waynes-height-weight-and-measurements/ | 2021-03-04T21:02:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369523.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304205238-20210304235238-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.985096 | 929 | [

So, it happened....in a restaurant, at a public event, maybe by flash mob, at the spot you first met, at your birthday, or his, within the privacy of your bedroom, or his or in front of family and friends....that man you love asked you to be his wife. So, you call all your friends and family "OMG he proposed?!" and they, in turn, repost it on social media...OMG he proposed!" The calls and texts seem endless. You are letting it all sink in...your wellwishers can't seem to control their excitement. After your initial shock, you join them....you can't stop staring at the ring and saying to yourself, "I'm getting married!"....
You're engaged.... And it only gets realer afterwards. In fact, the very word "engaged" means "to be busy or occupied." When you said "yes" to that ring, you didn't only say yes to the first test of a relationship (wedding planning), you said yes to many more challenges. But no worries, if done well, all the challenges will make your relationship stronger and not tear you apart. Having survived a lengthy and tedious wedding planning process despite my threatening type A personality, I'm at your service. Keeping true to the inspirational mandate of this space, I am here to help you get through the process...details and all. This post launches a series of posts about my journey through the wedding planning process and the lessons it has taught me about myself, my now-husband G, my family, friends, time, money and everything in between.
This post (and the seceding ones) was a long time coming. In fact, initially I envisioned a wedding planning process that'll I'd blog about every week but when I got into the swing of things, I realized that with wedding planning, not only was I always 'occupied', no endeavor will be complete till the wedding day, when it either comes full circle to be everything you dreamed it'd be...or not. So, I wouldn't be able to be 100% foul-proof in my advice till I allowed my planning play itself out. ..It wasn't until I experienced the day I had endlessly anticipated that I knew where I had succeeded and where I failed. And today, 24 days after a wedding I'd relive over and over in my head, I have some wisdom to pass on...
It's all so overwhelming at first. So here's a map to help get you into the swing of things.
1. The Announcement
I said it before but I'll say it again. The first thing to do after you get engaged is call the important people in your life. The personal calls (and maybe texts) have to go out before you allow anyone put it on social media. There's no worse feeling of exclusion than for your best friend to find out via Facebook. I can't promise you that everyone will be happy for you. In fact, if there's anything that will each you who genuinely wishes you well and who doesn't, this journey would. So don't base your happiness on reactions- base it on your gut feeling. If you're genuinely happy to spend the rest of your life with your fiancé, then don't let anyone ruin it for you. You're engaged: Be happy!
2. The Question
"When is the date?" is the celebratory sentence that almost always follows the Congratulations. In fact, sometimes, it is asked before you have even considered it. I mean, moments after you said yes, before you've even had the time to get it fitted., in excitement people want to already start planning. It's almost as if they expect you to have known the date before you said yes. Sometimes, it catches you off-guard and then, you feel the pressure. Pressure, my sister, a concept you may have to get acquainted with through the wedding process. If asked before you've had that discussion with your fiancé, just respond with a smile, honestly but briefly, "____ & I are still working on that. We'll definitely let you know once it's set!" There are a million and one reasons why (even if you've set a date), being reserved about it at this early stage is vital...the most important reason being that, until you have "The discussion" with your fiancé, despite your long-time wedding dreams, you really don't know the real details (including the guest list) of your wedding. So, stick with the simple answer till further notice. Thank me later.
3. Savor the Moment
While I was dating my now husband G, my sister Ogo always said "Enjoy dating...make sure you savor each moment." Then, when I got engaged, she'd say "enjoy being engaged...enjoy the time before all the wedding planning." While I can pride myself on having taken her advice fully, I didn't fully understand why I did, till I was smack in the middle of wedding planning. So, after you get engaged, take the time to savor the moment..stare at your ring if you need to. Allow yourself a good time frame to appreciate what this step means to you and your fiancé. As part of his engagement plan, G planned a weekend getaway at a resort 3 hours away from where he proposed. It gave us an opportunity to enjoy each other's company and to just...be. We used that time together to celebrate us and where we were headed as a couple and it's something I'll always appreciate.
4. Insure the ring
Some men already insure the ring when the buy it, but incase he didn't, make sure to insure your precious diamond. Like Nigerians would say, "just incase of incasity". Enough said.
5. Have "The Discussion"
After you take the time to savor the moment, "The Discussion" needs to be had. "The Discussion" is multi-faceted and may be exhausting especially if you or your fiancé are from a culture where family is immensely involved in the marriage ceremonies. More so, if either family is religious, those considerations need to be addressed. Come to the table prepared to hash out the important determinations and make a resolve to be patient. Also, give yourselves time. The discussion may take a few takes to cover everything. Here are a five pressing jump-starting must-have topics:
a. A Potential Wedding Date/Timetable: A typical engagement lasts 6 months to a year but don't allow that put you in a box. If you want a big wedding, just make sure you allow yourself enough time to plan it. Consider also if you want to have a traditional wedding (and where and when). If you're going to do one in a different country from the white wedding, I'd advise at least 4 months between both weddings. That is, of course, if you'd like to stay sane between both events. Lastly, for now, stick to a range of dates, because in reality, the wedding date cannot be set on stone till you find a reception hall, among other factors.
b. Potential Wedding Location: Location, location, location. Where would you like to get married? What state or what country? Once you decide this, the picture starts to become clearer. If you're having a destination wedding, it'll then determine what type of wedding you can really have.
c. Budget: How much are you looking to spend? And where will the money come from? This is the first lesson in uncommunicated expectations because you don't want to "assume" that your fiancé will be paying for everything while he expects that you'd be helping him. You also don't want to "thick" his parents will help when it's not the case. Communication is the key-make sure you're each crystal clear about who is bringing what and for what. Budget alone requires its own post and will be discussed in detail in a later post..wait for it.
d. Theme, Style and Guest Count: Picture your perfect wedding: What do you envision? Is your perfect wedding on a beach, in a garden, in a mansion or under a tent in a field? Do you want a vintage, glam, romantic or classic wedding style? What are your colors? If you ever get stuck on choosing a theme, you can table this part of the discussion, for later. Then take time to look at websites, magazines and attend bridal expos for inspiration. This is the time to follow wedding pages on Instagram and Pinterest.
The part of this discussion you shouldn't table for a while is the guest count. When you dream of your perfect wedding, do you see a big wedding or an intimate wedding? Do you envision a big party for everyone to come or do you want to be able to look into the room on your day and see only the faces of those you are 99% sure wish well for you and your fiancé or do you want something in between? The latter is the most important part of the discussion as you need to ensure you both are on the same page as your fiancé. Believe me, your guest count issue will determine almost everything else. Remember that many reception venues charge per head and as such, make sure if you decide on a number for the guest count, it's one you have to stick to. More on this later.
e. Type of Ceremony: Do you want the wedding in a church or outdoors? One done by a man of God or just a state-licensed officiant? Do you or your fiancé have a favorite person who you'd want to officiate the wedding?
While you're hashing these out with the fiancé, make an effort to remember the ultimate goal- to marry and spend the rest of your life with the love of your life. You'd have to do this often throughout wedding planning so start practicing beginning with the ultimate discussion. This is not the time to be selfish. While the wedding is seen as the bride's day, you cannot marry yourself- so it is indeed a special day for both of you. You'd have to make compromises and sacrifice. I remember first envisioning an outdoorsy wedding ceremony and bringing it up with G. The ceremony was one of the few things G was so determined about. He wanted a ceremony in a church officiated by his favorite pastor. More so, I was set about having a wedding in June and I couldn't have both because Texas is hot in June, unless of course, I wanted my guests to sweat bullets. In the end, he got his church wedding and I got my June wedding and it turned out very beautiful! Again, compromise!
So there you go..the tip of the iceberg. Cheers to the journey I'm about to take you on. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!
And stay tuned, more next week.

Street Story: A New Way to Collect and Share Data about Street Safety
Note: GJEL Accident Attorneys regularly sponsors coverage on Streetsblog San Francisco and Streetsblog California. Unless noted in the story, GJEL Accident Attorneys is not consulted for the content or editorial direction of the sponsored content.
Street Story, which launches today, is a community engagement tool developed at the University of California Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC.) The online mapping tool is designed to help local advocacy groups, city planners, and state agencies easily collect and analyze information about pedestrian and bicyclist safety. It is a statewide map and survey in which people can report collisions, near misses, and safety hazards, as well as mark and discuss places where they feel safe traveling by foot or bicycle or scooter. The survey has space for people to tell a story about their experiences, including any details they believe are important.
The information will be gathered anonymously, and made available to the public. Anyone will be able to generate local, regional, or statewide maps of hot spots, crash types, and safety hazards. The tool is designed to be easily accessible for community groups and individuals, to help understand, count, and map safety issues in their communities. The information can be used for transportation safety needs assessments, program development, grant writing, planning, and the like, as well as by advocates who want to bring attention to hazards.
Kate Beck of SafeTREC, who has been developing Street Story for the past year or so, says a key motivation was making it a tool for real community engagement. The idea is both to improve the quality of safety data collected as well as to enhance communication between planners and communities. “We wanted to create a more complete picture of safety” than is generally available from current data sources, she said. “The stories of what happens in a collision—or a near miss—tend to get lost,” she said. “We were looking for a way to collect the stories themselves and give them more weight” in discussions about safety improvements.
Street Story’s short survey includes a multiple-choice question about what people believe is the cause of the collision, near-miss, or safety hazard they are reporting, and space for adding details. The information collected goes into much more detail than what can be extrapolated from existing data sources such as SWITRS–although it is not a substitute for reporting a crash to the police. SWITRS, the Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, remains the state’s official dataset for crashes. SWITRS collates data from police reports. It has long been considered the sole source of consistent and relatively-reliable crash data. However, it has many shortcomings, including some incomplete and/or inaccurate reports, a long time lag before data is available, and an interface that is not user-friendly.
In addition, near-misses are completely absent from SWITRS. But they are important for planners to know where and why they happen. Dangerous driving behavior can be part of a culture that makes streets much less safe for people outside of cars, but while it can deter people from walking or riding a bike, it is difficult to track. Similar projects in Victoria, British Colombia called BikeMaps, and another in Portland, NearlyKilled.Me, aim to give people a way to report incidents similar to Street Story, but both seem to be limited to collecting whatever information comes in randomly online.
The developers of Street Story have a larger vision. They want their tool to be used by agencies and community groups both to collect information and to engage with people in the community in a deeper way than is required by checking off the “public outreach” box in planning. In the process of building and testing Street Story, they worked out kinks using prototypes in Bakersfield, Kern County, Emeryville, and Hayward. In Bakersfield, SafeTREC worked with Bike Bakersfield to gather public feedback, and local agencies there intend to use the data collected for several planning efforts, including an application for funds from the Active Transportation Program.
SafeTREC researchers are aware of problems with using an online interface for data collecting, and have taken steps to avoid some of them. For example, similar data collection efforts have found that older white males respond disproportionately to online surveys, which tends to minimize other community member voices. The developers offer a “Street Story Starter Guide” that discusses how to avoid some of these problems. They are also working on a paper version of the tool, to make it available to people who don’t have access to a computer, and a Spanish language version.
They will also collect demographic information to measure how well they are achieving a balance in responses. That information will be made available to the public once there is enough data collected in any particular area for it to be made anonymous.
Street Story launches today, and is available here. | <urn:uuid:1fbf2311-2dd3-49a7-9538-3fbaf59132a2> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://cal.streetsblog.org/2018/10/17/street-story-a-new-way-to-collect-and-share-data-about-street-safety/ | 2021-03-06T11:04:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178374686.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306100836-20210306130836-00394.warc.gz | en | 0.956966 | 1,016 | [

Skin bleaching is the use of chemical substances to lighten the colour of the skin. Despite various publications and documentaries on the harmful effects of skin bleaching, it is still becoming increasingly common especially among the black skin coloured individuals. A lighter skin has been perceived to be synonymous with beauty. Most skin lightening products are known to act on different pathways of melanin biosynthesis. The major lightening products used include hydroquinone, mercury and topical steroids which come as soaps, body wash, gels and creams. Skin lightening can cause a myriad of cutaneous and systemic adverse effects and so continuous public health awareness to sensitize individuals on the dangers of skin bleaching and proper regulations by the Government and relevant authorities must be put in place.

While Ibiza and clubbing are known to go hand-in-hand, in more recent years, the island has extended its spare hand (so to speak) to yet another facet that makes this little rock in the Balearics so special.

What do Luke Skywalker, Katniss Everdeen, and Harry Potter all have in common (besides being generally awesome at staying alive)? Like many of pop culture’s greatest heroes, they followed the same path to greatness, a path mythologist Joseph Campbell called “The Hero’s Journey.”
The Hero’s Journey is the definitive path to greatness, but it doesn’t stop with Jedi and pubescent wizards. Yes, it applies to digital marketers, too!
By mastering the four stages of better blogger outreach, you too can achieve greatness and lead the most successful blogger outreach campaign of all time.*
*(Or at least one that’ll get you killer results and also impress your boss.)
Stage 1: The Call to Adventure
All heroes start small: Luke Skywalker was an angsty kid on Tatooine; Katniss Everdeen was an angsty kid in District 12; and Harry Potter was an angsty kid in a cupboard under the stairs. What’s the common theme here? No, not teen angst – although, to be fair, they all have pretty decent excuses.
They all had an external call to adventure. So, what’s yours? Launching a new product? Increasing your company’s reputation? Driving sales? You need some blogger outreach.
- Increase brand awareness. Posts from even a few bloggers can reach thousands of leads and potential ambassadors, especially when social media is involved.
- Boost your SEO. Depending on the type of link, inbound links are a great way to raise your website’s authority and bump up your search rankings.
Stage 2: Crossing the Threshold
So cross that threshold and reach out to those bloggers! E-mail is a friendly yet professional way to do this.
Just make sure you don’t fail to impress by sending a generic “Dear Sir/Madam” speech about how great your product is. Bloggers receive these all the time, and you’ll get nowhere on your Hero’s Journey if you’re acting like a background character.
In order to intrigue your potential bloggers, be sure to:
- Address them by name
- State specific reasons why their blog is a good fit for your products
- Acknowledge that they’d be doing you a service but also that it will benefit them (offering a free product in exchange for a review can go a long way)
Once you’ve crossed the threshold and e-mailed your bloggers, you’re well on your way to outreach greatness! But you’ve still got a major hurdle to go before completing a truly successful blogger outreach campaign.
Before seeing any results, you must first survive The Abyss.
Stage 3: The Abyss
The Abyss represents all of the drawbacks and challenges heroes face on their journeys. After all, do you think Katniss Everdeen survived the Hunger Games by collecting wildflowers and chasing butterflies? No! She had to face challenges along the way, and it will be no different for you.
In every blogger outreach campaign, there will come a point when a few bloggers just aren’t delivering on their promises. You sent them free products, but there are no posts, links, or social media shout-outs.
There are several ways to chase results while still remaining professional and friendly.
- Get quality content in a timely manner by offering an initial incentive.
In your initial email, let your bloggers know that you’ll award the writer of the best blog with a special prize. There are several benefits to this:
- More bloggers will agree to review your product in the first place.
- Posts will generally be of a higher quality as they compete to win the prize.
- More bloggers will publish their posts in a timely manner, especially if you place a deadline for entry.
- Send a short-and-sweet reminder e-mail.
Bloggers are busy people too – busier the more professional they are. A reminder can motivate any slow-boats to get their blogs posted. They may have even posted their blog but forgot to send you the link.
- Learn from the experience.
You may still have those one or two bloggers who simply don’t deliver on their commitments. If that’s the case, you must simply cut your losses and learn from the experience. Make a note for your records, using your judgement whether or not to try again with these bloggers next time.
If you follow these blogger outreach tips, you’ll present yourself to bloggers as both professional and personal. And once you’ve done that, you’re out of The Abyss and ready to reap your reward.
Stage 4: Reaping the Rewards
Your work is complete. Bloggers were thanked, managers were debriefed, and you were the hero of a successful blogger outreach campaign. But why was it so successful? Let’s take a look at what made your campaign so much stronger than Boring Bob’s from across the office.
- You connected with your bloggers on a personal level, valuing their unique tastes and appreciating that they had a lot going on outside of writing about your product.
- You incentivised publishing timely, well-written posts by offering a special reward to the writer of the best blog.
- You chased all straggling or “forgetful” bloggers, prompting them to fulfil their commitments while still treating them with kindness and respect – and thereby retaining them as future collaborators.
But what does this mean for the hero in you?
By the end of their journeys, Luke had mastered the Force, Katniss had won the Hunger Games, and Harry finally got to chill out without having to worry about being zapped by a half-dead wizard with a grudge.
So what have you earned by successfully completing your journey? It’s more than you might think.
For one, you have tangible stats to demonstrate the merit of your efforts. Not only that, but you’ve also achieved something you might not have considered up until now: bloggers will actually look forward to working with you next time.
The more popular a blogger is, the more often their inbox will be swamped with product review requests. But when they see your name – the name of a rep who treated them with respect, who appreciated their unique style and talents, and who acknowledged their busy workload – they will happily bump your request to the top of their to-do list.
After all, you’ve proven yourself: you’re an Outreach Hero!
Here at Ambergreen, we’ve been doing blogger outreach for years. Constantly adding new members to our strong base of loyal bloggers, we’ll provide the services and industry expertise you need in order to make your business stronger than ever before.

It’s closing in on two years since I lost my dad. His memory dominates my thoughts tonight because I just finished spending a few hours working on cleaning up the basement where he kept nearly everything he had ever owned. It’s a combination of junk pile and museum. I like to think of it as a time machine for traveling back and spending more time with my dad, because his presence is so strong in that place.
Two years flies by quickly.
I was certain that the first year after his passing would be the hardest, and it was so terribly difficult in so many ways. The grief hit me the worst around 6 months after his passing, which coincided with his birthday. I never cry, but I sure did cry a lot that month.
My mother and I had spent so much of our time as caregivers we had ignored taking care of ourselves and we were ragged that first year. I had no idea of how badly in need of a reset I was.
Instinctively, I began avoiding stress. If I had the ability to eliminate something that made me feel bad, it was gone – whether it was a situation or a specific person. I circled my wagons and took care of myself.
I’m still doing that.
Even as my world was shrinking I was gaining perspective.
Cleaning up Dad’s Time Machine has been great therapy for me. It might take a few more years, but I’ll get there eventually.
And you will too. | <urn:uuid:0b99928a-4416-4a3e-a945-9cc25e797471> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://blog.drewprops.com/2018/01/dads-time-machine/ | 2021-02-25T04:28:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350717.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225041034-20210225071034-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.993259 | 310 | [

Editor’s note: this article includes a quote from Michigan State head coach Rick Comley which was interpreted to imply that the CHA and Atlantic Hockey champions should appear in a play-in game for the NCAA field. Comley’s intent was rather to suggest that due to the league’s five-team membership, the CHA champion should appear in a play-in, but not necessarily against the Atlantic Hockey champion. USCHO.com apologizes for the error.
With the 2007 NCAA tournament field set, reactions to the brackets were varied, with many coaches already knowing they were in well in advance, and some having an inkling as to who and where they might play.
Michigan State head coach Rick Comley, whose Spartans were in limbo until the last day of play, was pleased to be selected, and understandably less concerned about exactly where Michigan State ended up in the brackets.
“The excitement is just being a part of the field,” said Comley. “Everyone gets upset or uptight about where they are going, but my approach has always been that you want to be one of the 16 and then wherever you go, be ready to play.”
Handicapping the field, Comley threw his support behind the two teams that dominated the polls and the PairWise Rankings for most of the season.
“This is a wide-open tournament, but anyone who doesn’t think that Notre Dame and Minnesota are the favorites hasn’t watched college hockey this year,” he said.
“I do think that there are a lot of teams capable of getting hot and playing at the right level at the right time. There are clear favorites, but the field is wide-open because there are so many good goaltenders and goals will come at a premium.”
The Spartans, who have been up and down this season, take on Boston University in the first round.
“BU showed me, like we showed people too, that they might struggle to score goals, but they definitely can score goals, especially if they score early,” said Comley. “I think scoring early will be a key to the game.”
And of course, Comley knows his counterpart on the BU bench well. Comley coached Northern Michigan in the classic 1991 NCAA championship game, an 8-7 triple-overtime marathon that ended with NMU hoisting the national title.
“I’ve also faced [BU coach] Jack Parker in the GLI and the NCAAs. Jack is a really good friend and he has done a tremendous job over the years. We spent four or five years on the committee together and there are a lot of ties between us.”
On the process itself and the resulting selections, Comley had a few opinions.
“As late as 11 p.m. [Saturday] night, we were headed to Denver, but apparently the committee changed its mind and went strictly with the numbers. Sometimes I think that subjectivity should come into play, but when we see things play out we aren’t always going to be happy. If subjectivity was allowed, Denver and Wisconsin would probably be in the field. But do I think they deserve to be? No.
“What I would like to see is a play-in game. The CHA should not have an automatic bid under any circumstance whatsoever. They should have a play-in opportunity.”
St. Lawrence head coach Joe Marsh, whose Saints were likewise on the bubble despite winning the ECACHL regular-season title, didn’t need to wait until the brackets came out to position his squad among its competition.
“All year long we’ve been taking the underdog mentality,” said Marsh Saturday. “You better believe we’re taking that attitude now, because we certainly are. There’s no doubt that we’re going to be the underdog going into the NCAA tournament.”
Hockey East dominated the field with five bids, which Boston College coach Jerry York thought well of.
“To have five entries in this horserace when there’s only 16 available spots is great,” said York. “It speaks volumes for our league, I think. Now it’s time for us to get some banners in our league. The WCHA has had them for the last [five] years.”
The Eagles will play this weekend in Manchester, N.H., another boon for BC, which takes on SLU in the first round.
“Manchester is good for our team in terms of parents and fans. It’s easy and accessible, so that’s a real plus for us.
“We’ll have to do a lot of research on them [the Saints]” York said. “We haven’t played them this year. I’ve watched them on tape. They won their regular-season championship and we’ll do some background research on that.
“Joe Marsh is a longtime veteran coach at St. Lawrence and I’m sure that he’ll have a well-prepared opponent for us.”
The Eagles seem to be peaking at the right time, as well.
“It’s been an interesting year for us,” said York. “There was a period in January when we lost three straight games. At that time we were a real bubble team for the NCAAs. We just kind of tried to get better and better. From that low period, we’ve really come on strong. We never really got a streak going until recently. ”
As usual, the selection committee worked to avoid intraconference matchups in the first round, but also as usual, the regional finals were another matter. BC could face New Hampshire in the regional final, the fourth meeting between the teams in less than a month.
“It’s almost unavoidable,” said York. “When you look at North Dakota and Minnesota, it’s the same thing. They just played the championship game and they’re going to be in the same region. If it was just two or three teams, it would be easy to spot you. But the success of our league is bringing so many entries in. Being a high number-two seed probably sent us to Manchester and BU to Grand Rapids . We were both two seeds but they probably sent the higher seed closer.”
Air Force earned its first-ever NCAA bid with its victory in the Atlantic Hockey championship game, putting Frank Serratore’s squad near to home in the West Regional in Denver. With Denver and Colorado College also on the wrong side of the bubble, the Falcons will be the state of Colorado’s lone representative in the field of 16.
“We’re elated to be at home. We think it’s great for us and our fans,” said Serratore. “CC and Denver have been to a pile of these, but this is our first. There’s a thousand or so people that have been here through four-win seasons. They’ve seen the good times and the bad times and now they can drive up to the Pepsi Arena and see us play.
“I think there will be a huge walk-up. It’s a monster field with powerhouse teams and a home town Cinderella.
“There are no negatives for us,” he added. “It’s at altitude … and I like that it’s Saturday-Sunday, which gives us an extra day to prepare.
“It’s amazing for the whole thing to come together the way it has. The one year that Denver and CC slip together — the one year the regional is here, for us to have the opportunity to play this game with Minnesota in Denver, it’s like it’s been scripted.”
Another contender didn’t get such a convenient location. Though the Midwest Regional is nearby in Grand Rapids, Mich., Michigan is headed out to Denver to take on North Dakota in the first round.
“I think it’s ironic we’re playing North Dakota again,” Michigan head coach Red Berenson said. “That will be an interesting matchup. Obviously we’re going into their territory … whether it’s in North Dakota or not, we’re going into WCHA territory.
“Everyone is talking about Minnesota and North Dakota being the teams — I don’t think they even know we’re in the tournament,” Berenson said. “You know there is going to be an underlying current that needs to come out of our locker room and show up in that game Saturday. Hopefully we can do something.”
And while many teams watched ESPN2’s selection show Sunday afternoon, reporters turning up at Boston University’s Agganis Arena were surprised to learn that the Terriers had decided to spurn it altogether. Minutes before the telecast was scheduled to begin, the players were immersed in a no-pucks practice on the heels of Friday’s embarrassing loss to Boston College.
Terrier coach Jack Parker spoke only briefly before heading out to the ice to join his team.
“We don’t care who we’re playing, and we don’t care where we’re going,” Parker said. “We’ll find out afterwards, and I’ll tell our team. We’re not going to make any comments about who we’re playing because that’s not our problem. Our toughest opponent is ourselves. The only thing I’m concerned about is trying to get us ready to play another hockey game — unlike the one we played the other night.
“We don’t need to make any comments about, ‘Gee, what do you think of Michigan State? What do you think about Michigan?’ Because there won’t be any comments about that. My only problem is my team. Nobody can beat us like we can beat us. That’s our major problem.”
One team on the wrong side of the picks Sunday was Wisconsin, which will not have the chance to defend its national championship. Head coach Mike Eaves expected as much, but was unhappy with a result that saw just three WCHA teams get in.
“It was disappointing. We knew it was a slim chance, but still to see the teams on the wall was disappointing,” said Eaves.
“It sure would be interesting to talk to someone on the committee. Because how does the WCHA only get three teams in there? To me, that’s the biggest question that I have. You get past our own disappointment, and I look at our league and how strong our league is.”

Constable Sherman Maynard, 27, was shot by the escapees while on duty outside of the prison. He died of gunshot wounds to his leg and lower abdomen during emergency surgery at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital.
Escapee, Allan ‘Scanny’ Martin, 42, one of a gang of men in the high profile trial for the murder of businesswoman Vindra Naipaul Coolman, was shot to death during a gun battle with the police on the compounds of the Port-of-Spain General Hospital. Two other prisoners who sought to escape through the hospital were able to elude police and remained at large up to press time. They are Christopher “Monster” Selby, 30, and Hassan Atwell, 41, a member of the Carapo branch of the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen and brother of Rajaee Ali, a Portof- Spain prison detainee on gang charges, who has been questioned over the murder of Senior Counsel Dana Seetahal. They remained at large up to press time last night.
Reports are that at 12.30 pm yesterday, the trio used two handguns to fire shots inside the jail demanding to be let out, and upon their escape threw a hand-grenade that failed to explode. They jumped into a waiting car in which they tried to escape further, but crashed at the corner of Gordon and Charlotte Streets virtually opposite the hospital when intercepted by police officers.
The police shot dead Martin in a hospital security booth, while his two accomplices Selby and Atwell made good their escape. Police videofootage of the escape was likely caught on CCTV cameras monitoring the jail. The police immediately launched a massive manhunt for the men, and instituted a lockdown of the area near the jail and the hospital. A helicopter circled constantly overhead, and heavily armed police heightened their presence at the city’s police stations and main points such as the intersection of Frederick and Duke Streets. Sniffer dogs were deployed outside the jail. As news about the incident spread, business places in downtown Port-of-Spain and other parts of the city closed early and sent frightened employees home.
Deputy Police Commissioner Glen Hackett, Minister of National Security Carl Alfonso and Justice Minister Prakash Ramadhar spoke to reporters on Pembroke Street outside the jail, at about 2 pm.
Hackett said investigations are underway and he couldn’t comment on claims weapons were smuggled in to the escapees, or that police stations elsewhere were shot at.
Hackett confirmed Martin’s death.
He said, “Alan Martin, also called “Scanny”, an accused in the Vindra Naipaul-Coolman matter, was one of the escapees. On his bid to escape he fired on the police officers who were on duty around the prison. They returned fire and Martin received injury which he succumbed to at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital.
“However the other two prisoners - Hassan Atwell and Christopher Selby - they are on the loose,” Hackett added, “And we have police officers in a cordon around Port-of-Spain and its environs looking to recapture those two prisoners. We have detailed a team of investigators to look at the escape and to look at the shooting of the police officers, with respect to bringing those persons to justice. The police officer, Constable Maynard, is undergoing surgery right now (about 2 pm), at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital. I cannot at this time tell you whether the injuries are critical or otherwise but it is my understanding that the prison officer sustained slight injuries in the escape of those prisoners.” Asked to comment on how the prisoners were able to escape, Hackett said: “I cannot at this point in time.
An investigation will have to reveal that. We are making inquiries to ascertain how they escaped.” Hackett continued, “It is my understanding that this whole incident started around 12.30 pm today. Now with respect to firearms and ammunition being brought into the prison, as I said, we have commenced an investigation and I would not want to preempt that.” Asked if two guns and a grenade were smuggled into the prison, Hackett said, “It is not my information that that happened but that is not to say that it did not happen, but I cannot confirm or disconfirm that at this time. The investigation will confirm or disconfirm that. The investigators are on their way. The CSI is conducting investigations to retrieve trace evidence and so on. I have sent for the Cyber Crime Unit to take possession of the CCTV footage and so on, and then we have the investigators who will interview persons who will assist them with respect to their understanding of the totality of the circumstances of the escape.” Hackett said, “I had no information that these men were planning an escape, but I had unconfirmed information somewhere in one of the prisons that there may be some escape plan. Six weeks ago I placed at each prison - the Port-of-Spain Prison, the Maximum (Security) Prison and Golden Grove Prison - police officers stationary 24 hours each day, 24/7. It is because of this that we were able to partly stymie the escape-bid, resulting in the fatal injuries to Allan “Scanny” Martin.” Asked whether procedures for visitors at the prisons would be reviewed, Hackett said: “All these matters, given the prevailing circumstances, will have to be revisited, and of necessity we will come up with standard operating procedures, which would redound to the safety of the prison officers, the inmates and those persons who traverse the streets in Port-of-Spain and other places.” He said the manhunt for the escapees was far and wide, looking at all the ports to stultify any attempt to escape the country. Hackett also said that police were mounting road blocks all over Trinidad and Tobago and were also using air support.
Hackett could not say if police stations at Fyzabad and Chaguanas had been shot at.
“I have just heard that by the way but it has not been confirmed.” Hackett said. “If that was so, I think I would have been in a position to confirm or disconfirm.” Inspector Roger Alexander, on TV6 last night, denied shootings at Chaguanas and Fyzabad. Hackett said the alert-level is very high with regard to recapturing the escapees.
“It will be that way until they are recaptured and we bring some sense of normalcy to life in Trinidad and Tobago and ensure that persons are safe and secure in their environment,” Hackett said.
Hackett said it is premature to make any link between the breakout and recent arrests. “It is something that could be explored.” National Security Minister, Alfonso, said, “The police are doing their job.
The law enforcement fraternity will get together and will take control of this country again.” Alfonso appealed to citizens not to panic.
Justice Minister Prakash Ramadhar expressed deep regrets over PC Maynard’s death describing it as “chilling”. He said a heavy police presence outside every jail had mitigated the effects of yesterday’s escape.
He said the day’s events were ironic given an earlier meeting he had with Housing Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal, Prison Officers Association president Ceron Richards and Prisons Commissioner Sterling Stewart to help prison officers access safe housing. He said hand-held scanners are on the port awaiting clearance, and he also advocated the installation of cell-phone jammers in jails.
Ramadhar expected the Naipaul- Coolman trial which has been underway at the High Court for several months would continue, although obviously without Martin.
A statement from the Police Service last night sought the cooperation of the public in their efforts to capture the two prisoners. “Members of the public are being asked to be on the lookout for the men who are deemed to be armed and dangerous, and should contact the police with information at 999 or 555 or at any police station.” The statement also gave some details about the discovery of a hand grenade as an item that was used during the escape. It said that bomb and explosive technicians had to isolate and secure the hand grenade that was found outside the Port-of- Spain Prison following the escape of the three prisoners.
Referring to the three escapees the statement said Martin was a co-accused in the 2006 murder of Naipaul-Coolman whose body was never found.
The police statement said, “Selby faces two counts of murder unrelated to the Vndra Naipaul-Coolman case, while Atwell has a string of outstanding offences against him involving kidnapping, possession of firearm, robbery and sexual assault.
Atwell was in custody pending extradition charges to the United States to face charges of conspiracy to engage in hostage-taking and aiding and abetting the taking of a hostage.” The statement said: “Both Selby and Atwell remain at large. However a 43-year-old man of Princes Town has been held in connection with the escape and is currently assisting the police with their investigation.” Acting Commissioner of Police Stephen Williams, in the statement, expressed sadness over the murder of PC Maynard who would have marked two years of service on August 29.
During the 24 hours before the jailbreak Atwell had made several posts of bravado on social media, such as “If you want to make a mujahid laugh, threaten him with death” and “A true believer would accept death any day over oppression.” | <urn:uuid:4cbd331c-46dd-4931-aa3c-02a4d3090e60> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://archives.newsday.co.tt/2015/07/25/deadly-jailbreak-in-pos/ | 2021-02-28T06:33:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178360293.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228054509-20210228084509-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.975746 | 2,025 | [

I have been dreaming of a tropical vacation lately. I finally uploaded all my pictures from St John and it made me realize I want to get another tropical trip on the books end of this year or beginning of next year.
Frances Moon looking super adorable before school. A few of you asked about her dress and it is Old Navy- looks like it is sold out online though.
Thursday night I tried out a new restaurant on James Island, the Edison. I was not overly impressed but it wasn’t horrible either. I had the truffled pear salad and Ahi Tuna tostada. I liked the salad better than the tostada but both were lacking in flavor.
What I wore:
I am wearing a size 1 in the dress. It is the most comfortable dress ever.
I made the most delish Salted PB Energy balls from Oh She Glows. They are amazing.
I love having my parents in town so I can enjoy this view for Happy Hour.
After my blue and white post this was the one dress I knew I needed. The dress runs TTS, I am wearing a size small.
Had dinner at Screen Door again with my parents this time. It is becoming a regular haunt for us. Everything was so good. The fried green tomatoes and fried brussels sprouts are a must!
Next Saturday I am helping to host a charity event for MUSC Children’s hospital with Beckett Boutique. All proceeds go to MUSC children’s hospital. There will be drinks and a runway show with several local bloggers featuring looks from Beckett Boutique. Tickets are $35 and you can purchase HERE
This off shoulder blouse is now 40% off.
Tried this new rose from Whole Foods it was really good.

The Republican wing of the GOP (Speaker John Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Senator Susan Collins, and Senator Bob Corker, etc) is interested not in “small government” but “smaller government”. “Smaller” than what? The answer to that is the key. Most often it’s not “smaller than we have now” it’s “smaller than the Democrats want it to be in the future but bigger than now”.Indeed and the is the crux of the matter. Now he takes it through the differences between the establishment GOP and the Tea Party but I'd like to take it further to the democrats and leftists.
What is a conservative? What is the fundamental difference between a conservative an a liberal? If you do not believe that government is duty bound nor capable of providing for the people, then you are a conservative. The lesson is Obamacare. I don't need to link to the myriad of stories of how badly this thing is going. When you lose Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, ya got problems. But this is not an outlier, this is typical. Government is simply not an organization that can handle things like this because of the way it is set up. Congressmen, Senators, and Presidents all are political positions and their self-interests are all about getting votes. Promising freebies is the easiest and most cowardly way to get those votes.
A conservatives does not want freebies. He wants to take care of himself and have enough left over to enjoy life and help where he can. In essence, most everyone wants to redistribute wealth. A rich person giving to charity is indeed redistributing his wealth to the less fortunate. When he buys things, even yachts, he is helping those who work in that industry and a ton of other industries. (Remember my ketchup example.) No one sits and hoards his money and does nothing with it. The money would be worthless to them if they did. They purchase, they give.
A liberal wants someone else to decide where that money goes. He wants to take away that choice from you. If you are getting 30-50% of your salary taken by taxes, where does it go? Do you have a say on how it gets spent? And do you really, truly think that it is being spent competently? May I remind you of our brand new 290 million dollar website that can't even create a flat file correctly?
I believe most liberals (rank and file, not the far left) and conservatives want the same thing. But liberals will take away freedom to get it. And history shows that by putting the government in charge, you get much further away from the overall goal: prosperity for everyone.
Which brings me back to Drew's point. That the tea party understands this. The GOP does not. In fact I would not classify anyone who believes that "not as much government as what they want" is still in fact a liberal. The GOP is not conservative, only a few elected members can actually boast that label. The rest are liberal. Creating a program that takes away choice and spends only 100 billion is just as liberal as creating one that spends 900 billion. Now we are just haggling on price.
Until we as a people realize that we really don't need the government, we will continue to have these problems. As more and more people are dependent on the government for their very survival, it will be ugly and tough to get them off. For their betterment as human beings, we have to continue to fight.
There were no slaves in all my research that I can find who didn't want to be free. But we have a slave state again today. These slaves willingly stay that way. They are not required to work but in fact required NOT to. Their only requirement is to vote their masters into power. For this, they will be given public housing, food stamps, and an education that will tell them how much they owe to the government and how little hope they have because the rest of society will always be against them. Only the government can take care of you. No go out there and vote.
Their neighborhoods are awful. Their families are non-existent. They know that their lives are not right but they do not know why. They have no concept of freedom because they also have no concept of responsibility. We have effectively placed the shackles of fear and ignorance on them. It is not limited to inner city; indian reservations and poor rural communities all have the same problems.
The GOP is trying to keep these same ideas and programs in place that are the problem, not just simply how much money we spend, though that is a huge problem. These programs are sapping the souls of us as a people. Until they realize that, they are no better than the democrats. | <urn:uuid:f95c8a5d-93fe-4d84-96a6-79c87511b6c9> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://www.conservativeyoda.com/2013/10/small-government-versus-less-government.html | 2021-03-01T18:44:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362899.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301182445-20210301212445-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.979814 | 1,001 | [

Elton John, Dua Lipa and Charli XCX are among the stars who have signed an open letter to the British Government calling for a ban on conversion therapy.
The letter, addressed to Liz Truss – the Minister for Women And Equalities, urges her to “introduce a truly effective ban” on the practice, used to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of a person.
“Conversion therapists use a variety of shaming, emotionally traumatic or physically painful stimuli to make their victims associate those stimuli with their LGBTQ identities,” according to The Trevor Project – the organisation behind the initiative. “(They think) LGBTQ is a mental illness that should be cured.”
“Any form of counselling or persuading someone to change their sexual orientation or behaviour so as to conform with a heteronormative lifestyle, or their gender identity should be illegal, no matter the reason, religious or otherwise – whatever the person’s age,” the letter reads. “Let’s end it now. Let’s finish what was pledged two years ago and ban ‘conversion therapy’ for all lesbian, gay, bi, trans, and gender diverse people, of all ages. Until you do, torture will continue to take place on British soil.”
Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, Sam Fender, Olly Alexander, and Stephen Fry are also among the names who have signed the letter. | <urn:uuid:7deff239-d50a-412d-be46-9ae45b58e493> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://www.mybuzznetwork.com/elton-john-among-stars-signing-anti-conversion-therapy-letter-to-u-k-minister-music-news/ | 2021-03-03T10:58:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178366959.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303104028-20210303134028-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.925543 | 305 | [

Among the many announcements at this year’s AWS re:Invent conference was a new service: Global Accelerator.
It’s a “networking service that improves the availability and performance of the applications that you offer to your global users.” It does so by allowing you to make use of anycast routing and the AWS global network to build resilient and performant networks.
As an example, let’s say I’m offering a web application to customers located throughout the world. A workload like this typically evolves as it becomes more popular and critical to the success of a business. I might start by deploying infrastructure for the application into one AWS region. This infrastructure then serves all customers regardless of location, even if they’re on the opposite side of the planet. They connect to these services over the public Internet, bouncing from network to network until they reach the intended destination.
Over time, I might choose to deploy resources into multiple regions and use DNS services such as Route 53 to direct people to the region that has the least amount of latency from their location in order to improve the customer experience. For example, I might make use of the Northern Virginia region in the U.S. and the Frankfurt region in Europe. This can improve the experience, but what about those in Asia? Or South America? It becomes prohibitively expensive and complex to continue deploying into more and more regions, trying to place infrastructure close to as many customers as possible.
A CDN, such as CloudFront, then becomes useful and allows you to make use of 100+ “edge” locations distributed globally across multiple continents, including even Africa. These locations become an extension of your regional infrastructure, and content can also be cached there, reducing the need to route customers all the way back to the regional origin(s) where the application has been deployed. These locations are frequently in more metropolitan areas rather than in safe zones where AWS regional data centers are built, so they’re closer to end users. An added benefit is that traffic between the edge locations and AWS regions traverse the private AWS network, which is highly available, congestion-free, and more performant than the public Internet. For some applications, CDNs are so helpful that companies don’t need to leverage multiple regions.
While CDNs, multi-region deployments, and latency-based DNS are helpful in allowing you to expand your global network presence, Global Accelerator allows you to take advantage of the underlying technologies that some of these services use, such as anycast routing and health checks, while reducing the effort you would typically have to make.
How It Works
With Global Accelerator, the customer experience looks like this:
- A customer in Peru, for example, goes to their browser and enters your domain name (e.g. mywebapp.com).
- As usual, DNS is used to resolve this domain to an IP address. Whether you’re using Route 53 or something else, you configure DNS to return one of two static IPs provided by Global Accelerator.
- These IP addresses are announced from multiple AWS edge locations simultaneously throughout the world and the customer gets connected to the closest location possible, such as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
- From the edge location, the customer is routed through Amazon’s private network back to the closest AWS region where your application resides, such as Northern Virginia, and directs traffic away from endpoints within those regions that are unavailable or experiencing downtime. Whether you’re using one region or many, it doesn’t matter.
In this way, you’re using routing rather than DNS to direct users to the right regions and endpoints while leveraging the AWS network without having to use CloudFront. You get instant regional failover capabilities, high availability, and better performance, without having to deal with DNS TTL delays.
Using Global Accelerator
To use the service, you create an “accelerator,” attach some “listeners” to it for various ports and protocols you want to listen on, and associate these with “endpoint groups” which are associated with specific regions. These endpoint groups then have a list of “endpoints” that traffic is load balanced across and they can include elastic IPs, application load balancers, and network load balancers. Dials and weights exist to allow you to fine tune how traffic is routed to regions and endpoints, which is helpful for A/B testing, rolling out new deployments, and disaster recovery.
The setup process is very straightforward, and the console is simple and easy to use.
How It Compares to Other Services
While CloudFront can achieve some of the same objectives, it is limited to HTTP traffic. Global Accelerator can be used for all TCP and UDP traffic. CloudFront can cache HTTP objects at edge locations and it uses a DNS name with changing IP addresses rather than static ones. Note, however, that the client IP address is not made available to backend applications using Global Accelerator, but it is available when using CloudFront (per the X-Forwarded-For header). If needed, flow logs can be turned on for Global Accelerator to log IP addresses and inspect them later.
DNS approaches, such as Route 53 latency-based routing, suffers from cached DNS responses when certain devices, browsers, and networks ignore TTLs. Based on some tests I ran, I was able to see a 10-15 second failover time between endpoints in different regions when a server became unavailable. It’s really hard to achieve that with DNS.
- Currently, Global Accelerator only supports IPv4.
- Every “accelerator” gets Standard Shield for DDoS protection.
- The two static IPs allocated for an accelerator are serviced by independent network zones, similar to AZs.
- While I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it, this new service could now be used to associate a static IP address with an application load balancer, something that has traditionally required some custom work.
- Listeners can make use of a “client affinity” setting to add stickiness to an endpoint so that network clients are routed to the same endpoint after first connecting. This can be helpful for applications that are stateful in nature.
- For elastic IPs, you can choose what the health check is. For ALBs and NLBs, it’ll use the load balancer’s health check.
So far as pricing, you pay $0.025/hour for each “accelerator.” You also pay for the amount of traffic that flows through it and only the dominant direction of your traffic is used. For example, if 60% of your traffic is outbound, you’re only charged for the outbound portion. This charge is in addition to the standard data transfer rates, and the amount depends on what regions and edge locations are used.
Overall, there’s a lot of overlap between Global Accelerator, Route 53, and CloudFront, but there are tradeoffs you should be aware of when architecting applications that are resilient, performant, and globally available. It’s great to see these new capabilities being offered and it enables a lot of new possibilities. | <urn:uuid:6698869d-ab42-4722-8123-8975b8d018c1> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.1strategy.com/blog/2018/12/12/global-accelerator/ | 2021-03-03T11:21:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178366959.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303104028-20210303134028-00114.warc.gz | en | 0.944653 | 1,501 | [

Diagnostic-related issues are the main reason emergency medicine doctors are sued and the top cause of patient injury, according to The Doctors Company’s study of 332 emergency medicine claims that closed from 2007-2013. The study showed that 57 percent of claims alleged failure to diagnose, delay in diagnosis, or wrong diagnosis. In 52 percent of claims, patient assessment issues, like failure to establish a differential diagnosis, contributed to patient injury.

Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone (Hardcover)
An impassioned and thorough historical overview on the struggles for big-D Democracy throughout human civilization. Astra Taylor lays out the contradictions among our ideals of freedom that have nurtured, corrupted, and destroyed experiments with democratic government in many different contexts. — From Sam's Picks
What is democracy really? What do we mean when we use the term? And can it ever truly exist? Astra Taylor, hailed as a “New Civil Rights Leader” by the Los Angeles Times, provides surprising answers.
There is no shortage of democracy, at least in name, and yet it is in crisis everywhere we look. From a cabal of plutocrats in the White House to gerrymandering and dark-money compaign contributions, it is clear that the principle of government by and for the people is not living up to its promise.
The problems lie deeper than any one election cycle. As Astra Taylor demonstrates, real democracy—fully inclusive and completely egalitarian—has in fact never existed. In a tone that is both philosophical and anecdotal, weaving together history, theory, the stories of individuals, and interviews with such leading thinkers as Cornel West and Wendy Brown, Taylor invites us to reexamine the term. Is democracy a means or an end, a process or a set of desired outcomes? What if those outcomes, whatever they may be—peace, prosperity, equality, liberty, an engaged citizenry—can be achieved by non-democratic means? In what areas of life should democratic principles apply? If democracy means rule by the people, what does it mean to rule and who counts as the people?
Democracy's inherent paradoxes often go unnamed and unrecognized. Exploring such questions, Democracy May Not Exist offers a better understanding of what is possible, what we want, why democracy is so hard to realize, and why it is worth striving for.
About the Author
Astra Taylor is the author of The People’s Platform (winner of the American Book Award) and made two documentary films, Zizek! and Examined Life. Taylor’s writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, n+1, and The Baffler, where she is a contributing editor. She lives in New York City.
"Astra Taylor will change how you think about democracy... She unpacks it, wrestles with it, with the question of who gets included and how...she excavates the invisible assumptions that have been bred into our idea of democracy... Taylor's work is alive to paradoxes, ambiguities, and hard questions that don't offer easy answers." —Ezra Klein, The Ezra Klein Show
"We live in an age that demands that we rethink democracy from the roots—and teach ourselves to think again as citizens. Smart and engaging, Astra Taylor’s Democracy May Not Exist makes a formidable contribution to meeting those pressing generational challenges." —Danielle Allen, author of Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality
"A brilliant, deeply learned discourse on democracy, equality, and how the second might save the first, by one of the most incisive thinkers on participatory politics today." —Molly Crabapple, author of Brothers of the Gun
"What a lot of trouble democracy has been! Over the years it’s been hijacked by its enemies, its reforms have backfired, it has evaded challenges, it has refused to heed its prophets. But as Astra Taylor reminds us in this timely and sagacious book, there is no substitute. The fate of the world depends on it." —Thomas Frank, author of Listen, Liberal
"What is this thing called Democracy? Google the question and you will exceed one million hits. But for an honest and illuminating answer, read this book—every single word. Searching, lucid, visionary, Astra Taylor takes a deep oceanic dive into the history, meaning, uses, and promise of democracy—moving from Plato’s Greece to Syriza’s Greece, from the Global South to post-Communist East, from slavery to fascism, liberalism to neoliberalism, Occupy to the Commons. She knows what most political scientists don’t: that democracy is a promise unfulfilled, and in our strivings to achieve it nothing is guaranteed. But we can’t live without it."
—Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
"Astra Taylor is a rare public intellectual, utterly committed to asking humanity’s most profound questions yet entirely devoid of pretensions and compulsively readable. Now she plunges deep into the crisis that underlies so many others: the sorry state (and the exhilarating promise) of this thing called democracy. At once richly historical and immediately relevant, this wise, lucid and unflinchingly honest book deserves to be at the center of public debate." —Naomi Klein, author of No Is Not Enough
“Moths never reach the moon, but they navigate by it; we humans may never reach democracy, Astra Taylor tells us, but we navigate by its ideals. This is a beautiful, revelatory book about ideas and how they matter in everyday life, by the only writer who could herself navigate so gracefully among factory workers, contemporary economics, and ancient Athenian history.”
—Rebecca Solnit, author of Men Explain Things to Me | <urn:uuid:69466295-c5d5-4e68-a9fa-7a06bd487330> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.roomofonesown.com/book/9781250179845 | 2021-03-05T00:02:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369553.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304235759-20210305025759-00434.warc.gz | en | 0.934778 | 1,134 | [
