Hello everyone, I've recently put together a series where the counselors come back sometime after the tragic events of the massacre. The Premise is that of a reality TV show, where they meet and secrets get exposed. So far the feedback from all three episodes have been overwhelmingly positive. Please take the time to watch and CAUTION, there is VULGARITY. So this is not for the faint of heart, the jokes can be crude, and the voices are funny! Please show your support by liking, or commenting to tell me what you think. Here you are: Friday The 13th: Counselor's ReUnion: Season 1 Script For Episode 1: Jin: I know it’s been a while since my last video. I’m not very consistent with these things but I create things on my own time haha. I’d just like to thank you for making room in your schedule to be here. Jenny(Female): Sure, yeah no problem. It’s very nice to be here, I’m glad some of us are together again. It really brings back memories.. A.J.(Female 3): *long sigh* ugh… this fake bitch, what memories? You mean running for our lives, yeah so joyful. You know, you bout as fake as Tiffany’s….you know what nvm Tiffany(Chipmunk): oh..oh so you think it’s okay just to air out my dirty laundry like that, trick I trusted you. But I guess that’s why Adam- A.J.: Say one more word. Do you see me, you see how I’m looking. You better pull out the damn dictionary and choose your next words carefully, and I say choose because I know yo vocabulary is limited these days. Jenny: A.J….you got me fucked up, down, left, and right. You disrespectful Avril Lavigne wanna-be reject. You still killing crows, and doing witchcraft and shit? You better recognize royalty, I am the final girl - damnit. A.J.: Final Girl? Have you seen yourself? Do you see what you’re wearing, what you need is a final selection on what to wear, looking like your grandma dressed you, and can we look at these shoes? Bitch what the hell are those? Jenny: Y’know it’s called having class and not showing out for attention, which you clearly need. Damn I can’t even imagine what adam goes through. You’re probably the whiney type too, yuck! Adam(Male): You know I wouldn’t be talking, cause I can drag your boyfriend if he wasn’t doing it himself with Kenny. Yeah I heard about those weird fishin’ stories, mmhm. Tiffany: Oh hell no, what you’re not gonna do...is slander my man’s name like I’m not sitting right here! You got some nerve. Don’t make me spill the tea since we both know we got stories of our own. A.J.: Oh I wanna hear it, I wanna hear this. Speak now cause you won’t have a tongue later. Don’t fuck with me…..Adam yo ass is in the doghouse tonight. Episode 2: Jin: Welcome back, I know yesterday most of you had your personal differences. But it’s nice to have you back. I released the first episode not too long ago. The feedback was relatively positive, but it seems when I posted the video to Reddit it started to immediately become disliked. So I took it down, but that won’t stop me. A.J.(Female 3): Oh hell no, don’t listen to them. Fuck all of them, I will end them. Jin you’re one of the most creative and kind people I know. A good majority of the people in this community are toxic people who circle jerk themselves into oblivion. Just...don’t fuck with them. Jenny(Female): For once I can agree with A.J., you don’t deserve that. Honestly, you gave us a platform to voice our own thoughts. You’re giving us a voice and remember that no matter how many people dislike, you have those who still want to watch your content so focus on the people who are here for you right now. And so I just wanna thank you again for initiating this Re-Union. Tiffany: Yeah, I mean clearly they might be Jealous. You know like how most of the girls are jealous of me. I gotta deal with petty bitches all day, so if you need some tips on how to deal with basic bitches….you know who to come to. Vanessa: Hahahaha…..that’s cute sis. But tell me, what the hell are bubbles, blossom, and buttercup doing here, looking like the discount powerpuff girls! I heard y’all were talking about Final Girls, and you know I couldn’t just let my name go unnoticed. A.J.: uh-uhn, I KNOW you ain’t talking. Before you open your mouth you need invest in a new damn hairstyle. Hunny that damn ponytail is hanging for dear life, you probably getting temporary insanity due to that shit squeezing your head so tight, talking to me like that. Don’t get yo azz fucked up. Fox: See, look at this….everytime I come around there’s always some drama. This is why I don’t fuck with y’all, y’all too damn shady. Vanessa, you said you were only gonna be a minute bitch it’s cold outside what the fuck are you doing, hurry up. Mitch in the car tryna roll up, and you know you got the lighta. Vanessa: Girl gimme a second, these no-lives over here talking bout “Final Girls’ and shit. AJ can’t even fight, you know she always runnin and hidin, she ain’t bout that life. Jenny: Well you can catch these hands from me anyday, mmhmm. Vanessa: I’m sorry? You wanna run that by me again? I know it’s gonna take you a while Ms. 3 speed. So I suggest you drink a tall glass of shut the fuck up. Jenny: You really think somebody scared of you. All you can do is run, loud noisey ass. Vanessa: I don’t even know, how people can even THINK of mentioning your name next to mine when talking about the best counselor. We all know you overrated, you know you’re overrated, hell even your boyfriend know you overrated. I can do anything better than you can, so have several seats please. I mean have you even heard your voice actress? *Clip of Jenny line* Bitch you sound like you got a frog in your throat, and you’re supposed to be the final girl? Get the hell outta here. Fox: Hahahahaaa, yess gather them sis. Season Finale: Jin: I’d like to thank you again for meeting here for the last time. I know Tiffany is gone due to laryngitis - A.J.(Female 3): Good, her voice was annoying as hell anyway, sounding like a damn chipmunk. Jin: And so are Vanessa and Fox, they didn’t really care for being here. But I’m glad we have some new additions today. It’s nice of you to consider being here Adam and Chad. Adam(Male): No Problem Jin, it’s a bit nostalgic to be back here. Chad: …. Adam: Well, damn you ain’t gone speak? Chad: Oh please, don’t address me, ...I’ll slap you with my wallet and make money from that Adam: Ooohh damn….that was close..haha.. almost gave a fuck. A.J.: Don’t even bother with him, we don’t have the time. Chad: That’s because I bought it off you. Next. A.J.: Bitch fuck you...go to hell. It’s a shame your girl is braver than you. What grown man is scared of the dark, I’ll wait. Chad: You would know about the darkness since you live in it, peasant. Jenny: Chad, can you please calm down. For once, I’d like to go somewhere without your judgement. A.J.: Girl why are you even with him how did you two even meet? He’s so damn disrespectful. Jenny: We met on Twin-sta-book, and I have to be honest. Despite having a 4.0 gpa, I somehow wasn’t able to secure a scholarship yet, and graduation is approaching….so you know, I had to do what I had to do. Adam: That’s your problem, you need a real man. Why don’t you don’t you come over and we can talk later on? A.J.: You know what I will, thank babe. Adam: I was talking to Jenny A.J.: No you weren’t, you were talking to me, because I know the hell you not trying to cheat on me. I’m a witch, the only way to get out is blood sacrifice. Adam: Aye, you need to chill, A.J.: No bitch you need to chill, I’m tired of you slingin’ around that damn community tic-tac. I already got on yo ass once about Tiffany. It’s not a coincidence she’s not here. So watch your mouth. Chad: Honestly, I don’t know why I’m even here with you low-lives. Adam: Yo why are you so pressed? Chad: Cause that’s how like my money, you got anything else you wanna say? I WILL shut this establishment down. Adam: Oh no, you don’t wanna come for me homeboy. I got some photos that’ll expose your ass real quick. Chad: Pfft, please. There’s nothing you can do to me, I’m untouchable. Adam: Oh really, so before I do this. Tell me, are you really out there fishing with Kenny when you go out together? Chad: What do you think, peasant? Adam: I think you’re lying. And here’s why… *Kenny Chad Love Photo* A.J.: Daaaaaayyyuuuuummmmm, I mean heard rumors but I didn’t think it was true. Looks like he really is touchable... but only for one person. Jenny: Chad, wtf is this!? What am I looking at, let me have a second get my mind right, cause I know damn well this ain’t what I think it is. Chad: I-I-I don’t know what this is, clearly it’s photoshop. I mean don’t be so gullible, it’s fake news babe, c’mon now. Jenny: No, the only thing fake is you. I endured this for too long, I knew those fishing trips were something else. I mean look at this speedo, when we went to Lukewarm topic you told me it was because you wanted me to see more of you. But I see now it wasn’t for me, it was for someone else. We’re done. Adam: Damn well at least now we can continue with the - - - - *Message from Kensington Entertainment about show being taken off air.* | <urn:uuid:8d0dc2d4-a3d1-450b-ba97-9fd1c5d7fdb2> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://forum.f13game.com/tags/jinloveshorrormovies/ | 2021-03-06T02:49:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178374217.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306004859-20210306034859-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.942725 | 2,509 | [

The Lotus Sutra - 18 Benefits of the Teacher of the Law - 6 The benefits of becoming a 'seer'
Type of Spiritual Experience
A description of the experience
The Lotus sutra – translated by Burton Watson
At that time the world-Honored one, wishing to state his meaning once more, spoke in verse form, saying:
The minds of these persons will be pure,
bright, keen, without stain or defilement.
And with these wonderful mental faculties
they will understand the superior, intermediate, and inferior Law.
Hearing no more than one verse,
they will master immeasurable principles
and be able to preach them step by step in accordance with the Law
for a month, four months, or a year.
All the living beings
in the inner and outer parts of this world,
heavenly beings, dragons, humans,
those in the six realms of existence
and all the various thoughts they have-
upholders of the Lotus Sutra as their reward
will know all these in an instant !
The countless Buddhas of the ten directions,
adorned with the marks of a hundred blessings,
for the sake of living beings preach the Law,
and such persons, hearing it, will be able to accept and uphold it.
They will ponder immeasurable principles,
preach the Law in an immeasurable number of ways,
yet from start to finish never forget or make a mistake,
because they are upholders of the Lotus Sutra.
They will understand the characteristics of all phenomena,
accord with principles, recognizing their proper order,
be masters of names and words,
and expound and preach things just as they understand them
What these persons preach
is in all cases the Law of former Buddhas,
and because they expound this Law
they have no fear before the assembly.
Such is the purity of the mental faculties
of these upholders of the Lotus Sutra.
Though they have not yet attained freedom from outflows,
before that they will manifest the marks described here.
While these persons uphold this sutra
they will dwell safely on rare ground,
by all living beings
delighted in, loved and respected,
able to employ a thousand, ten thousand varieties
of apt and skillful words
to make distinctions, expound and preach-
because they uphold the Lotus Sutra. | <urn:uuid:e77f1e38-f430-43c2-940a-ff18e09a341c> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://allaboutheaven.org/observations/the-lotus-sutra-18-benefits-of-the-teacher-of-the-law-6-the-benefits-of-becoming-a-seer-023908/221 | 2021-03-06T01:48:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178374217.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306004859-20210306034859-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.901541 | 507 | [

The middle of the field is occupied by players with greater vision and technique. Today’s midfielder is not just a game engineer, but must deploy defensive work and manage time.
The ideal midfielder must handle certain features, functions and adapt to different situations to fulfill his role totally. He is an all-rounder. An intelligent player with a lot of technique, who manages the periods of the match and at the same time performs as an attacker and starts a counter attack.
The integral capacity of the modern winger to perform in the field serves as a great example for children. A natural leader in this position is Andres Iniesta, Barcelona player and key figure in the Spanish National Team. Today, at 32 years old, he remains a top midfielder, and is considered one of the best in his position.
A world player opinion
“Today’s soccer demands all players to participate, some in offensive duties and others in more defensive; but in general, the midfielder position demands, not only aerobic capacity, but to have plenty control of the ball, apart from knowing how to run the pitch”. Says Jaime Duarte, ex world player with the National Team of Peru and youth coach in Peru.
Advice for the kids
Duarte comments about the functions the ideal midfielder must develop, taking into account the modern game that exists nowadays. “I’ve watched videos of Iniesta when he was little and he has always been able to have the field in his head, that is to say, he has peripheral vision. Without much fuss, he already knew what he had to do, whether to play by himself or if he could control it to elaborate the game later. That quality is not for everyone, it seems easy, but it’s not. A child must be taught to see and to be seen, his ability to lose marks must be shown, and I love that because he’s in connection with the performance of team. Losing marks comes first; otherwise there will be no passes. Kids should adapt to that method”, added the 1978 and 1982 world player.
Tips for a midfielder
1. Knowing his place in the field to receive the ball. There is much traffic in that area.
2. Good foot skills, dead ball training and short and long passes practice.
3. Equally strong with both feet.
4. Be fast in every way.
5. Leadership is important; it’s not an issue of character, curse words or kicking. It’s about asking for the ball, it’s not necessary to talk much.
6. Watch lots of soccer. National and international. That’s the way you learn: watching. | <urn:uuid:325bec57-73ab-456e-bc76-cfd94e98e968> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://www.soccerplus.us/the-ideal-midfielder-the-brain-in-the-field/ | 2021-03-09T10:10:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178389798.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20210309092230-20210309122230-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.968954 | 559 | [

I don’t know why Mother’s Day always inspires thoughts of brunch, but it does. Probably because it’s the one meal of the day where you an legitimately get away with eating dessert for both breakfast and lunch. And we like that. If you want to cook up something special (or let’s be honest, most of us are Moms here and what we really want is for someone else to make us something special) then here’s some of my personal favorites. Email this link to your significant other, or leave subtle hints by randomly opening this page on every computer and mobile device in your home.
These Baked Egg Cups are perfectly adorable (not to mention fancy but easy), and they’d give you an excuse to buy those ramekins in the photo.
My personal childhood favorite- this Chile Cheese Souffle Bake only takes about 5 minutes to whip up. You can prep it easily right before you bake it, or get it ready the night before.
Baked Breakfast Taquitos. This is a personal favorite for both Kate and me, and pretty much everyone who has ever eaten them. They’re perfect finger food, and oh so good. If you haven’t tried this recipe yet- put it on your to-do list!
Quiche is a natural choice for breakfast or brunch and this Zucchini-Cheese one is superb. Super easy and uses inexpensive zucchini with creamy Gruyere cheese. One of my favorite combos.
When I was a growing up, this Overnight Sausage and Egg Casserole held a sacred and traditional spot on our Christmas morning table. Now that I have my own family, I bust it out for all sorts of special occasions. I love that it’s prepped the night before so all you need to do is pop it in the oven!
Mini Ham and Egg cups are baked in muffin tins so everything is self-contained. They look cute, and are perfectly portioned for serving. Great for a buffet!
This is one of my favorite go-to recipes. Of all the recipes on this list, I might make this one the most often because it’s just so good, so easy, and so universally appealing. If you haven’t made our Overnight Baked French Toast, it’s a must.
These Double Chocolate Waffles with Berry Sauce was one of the first brunch recipes I wrote for this blog, and it’s become a reader favorite. They’re so easy and so fancy. Tastes like dessert, but you get credit for breakfast. Score.
Coconut Turnovers. Need I say more? Sip this with some mango juice and transport to a tropical island.
Kate just posted this Chocolate French Toast recently so I haven’t made it yet, but I keep staring at that photo, wishing it was on a real plate in front of my face.
This isn’t the finished beauty shot of our Cream Cheese Stuffed Croissant French Toast, but I’m using it so you can see what’s in there. We’re talking fresh croissants, stuffed with lemon cream cheese and soaked in custard. Then slathered in fresh strawberries and whipped cream. You have no idea how good this stuff is. One of my favorites!
Lastly, our Fresh Fruit Bruschetta with Orange Honey Cream is just so dang cute, isn’t it? Mother’s Day is exactly the type of setting it should be in. (PS- it’s also incredibly good. Like, platter-gone-in-seconds good).
Hopefully that fun list got you thinking. If you haven’t entered our fun giveaway yet, click here to check it out!
Also, in honor of Mother’s Day, here’s a great post from last year that Kate and I wrote about our thoughts on Mother’s Day. We had no idea how popular it would be, so if you missed it, check it out. | <urn:uuid:77417c9e-7cdb-4c14-aa54-227d5db95de9> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://ourbestbites.com/mothers-day-brunch-recipes/ | 2021-03-09T10:47:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178389798.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20210309092230-20210309122230-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.932587 | 852 | [

Little Monkey Party Theme
We had our son Quan’s birthday party last year November.
The theme we chose was Monkey’s, with colours of bright yellow, turquoise and brown of course.
Here are some detail
Goody Bags - I used old formula cans for the “favour boxes”. I’ve been collecting them since the day Q was born, just knew I had to do something with them. These then doubled up for “money boxes”. I designed a sticker which we stuck around the can, and then my hubby cut a slit into the plastic lid. Each child got a banana as part of their party pack
Decorations - We used a turquoise table cloth and got matching paper plates which we found overseas. I had labels printed where I wrote each child’s name on. The kids then got to stuck their labels to their shirts. I bought matching party hats too which the kids wore.
The Cake - My husband and I baked and decorated the cake ourselves, basing it on the monkey theme.
Food - For the adults we did “build a burger” where we put out all the burger toppings and sauces. We had chicken and beef patties and the guests could help themselves.
The Venue - The venue was beautifully decorated outside with bunting flags and gazebo’s and quilts were put on the grass for the adults and babies to sit on.
Entertainment - Because it was a first birthday party we didn’t have a jumping castle etc. Luckily the venue had a lovely garden with sand pit and jungle gym | <urn:uuid:a8e13ae4-b171-4daf-b2f8-a58f793c34f7> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.mommalicious.org/single-post/2016/08/17/little-monkey-party-theme | 2022-09-24T16:26:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030331677.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20220924151538-20220924181538-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.971241 | 342 | [

I built my first electric fence circuit back in 2011, to protect the perimeter of a tent from bears. The circuit still works today and gives a very good performance. A few changes have been made like adding the neon bulb protection for induction coil spikes sent back in the primary circuit.
The circuit runs on 12V (batteries), making this a very portable fence energizer solution. It uses 2x 555 timers, one runs in astable mode and is used to generate the frequency interval, while the second one controls the pulse length and so the output voltage. A calculator for the 555 timers can be found here.
The updated circuit diagram for this version of the circuit is available:
Here are the Eagle files, with both the SCH and the PCB layout: fence-4.3-orig
Thanks to SMD components and various timer alternatives, such as the double timer 556, we can shrink this circuit even further, without making any compromises. Here is an improved version that I’ve just designed and tested with excellent results:
The circuit diagram:
The eagle files: fence-4.2
Both the designs can operate on battery and have low power consumption.
Does it work against bears?
This circuit was not tested against bears nor other animals, but given it’s ratings it would surely create huge amounts of pain. Here is a demo video showing a commercial unit that does work: | <urn:uuid:6352ea97-5762-41f5-b512-b460e9534a10> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.pocketmagic.net/electric-fence-circuit-for-perimeter-protection/ | 2022-09-24T15:29:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030331677.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20220924151538-20220924181538-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.928301 | 294 | [

Tribute to Romeo & Tango
By Marybeth Orton
I’ve been a member of WAGS almost since it’s inception. I got my first Bullmastiff, Otis, because I was starting a pet therapy program at Peace Hospital (formerly known as Our Lady of Peace) where I worked for over 13 years. Otis was my first therapy dog that brought me to WAGS where I have served several terms as President and have been an Evaluator on the Evaluator’s Committee for many, many years, and have had several therapy dogs since then. Perhaps the reason why I am on my 5th therapy dog is because I am a sucker for the giant breeds. There’s nothing like the energy of a Bullmastiff and other mastiffs. But, we all know that the larger the dog, sadly, the shorter the life span.....
When we got Romeo, our second Neapolitan Mastiff, we knew right away that he would be a good therapy dog, because he was super laid back and loved people. Unlike most Neapolitans he didn’t mind other dogs, even of the same sex. He was raised by us and a pack consisting of two pit bulls, a pug, a bullmastiff and Parker, a Standard Poodle who was a WAGS Ambassador for many years. When he was a puppy, I was hypervigilant about bloat as it’s common in the deep chested breeds. Being a giant breed dog, we were trying to hold off neutering him until 24 months, so he didn’t have a gastropexy yet. One Sunday night, I spotted signs of bloat, however it wasn’t in Romeo, it was in Parker. Thankfully, I was able to get Parker to the emergency vet in time for them to save his life.
Romeo became a WAGS Ambassador. He did his MV at a nursing home, visiting Dottie Chapman’s mom. He was very gentle with her and the others there, recognizing that he was large and the people there needed him to be gentle and a “sweet baby bear” as Brian and I would call him. He enjoyed seeing and visiting children too. We joined Dr. Tami Harbolt in visiting at Nativity Academy. Kids would be taken aback by his size, he was a Neo after all, and weighed about 175#. He enjoyed the kids reading to him and petting his belly. Romeo had some quirks and would get “nervous” at times. When he did, he would release gas like nobody’s business! Kids would hold their noses and moan and groan, LOL! Eventually, after a couple of years, I had to retire Romie. He got quirky to the point that he would refuse to enter buildings where we were visiting. This even extended to MY office building! As a therapist, I use my therapy dogs in my work (which means we are not covered under WAGS’ insurance while we are working for wages). Frankly, if the 175# “Romie-Bear” doesn’t want to go into a building, there was no way I was going to make him. He outweighed me by a good 75#! Tami would tell me that her kids at Nativity would often ask where the farting dog was when he was no longer doing visits.
You can find clips of Romeo in the About WAGS video. Look for him with his purple collar and a little girl in a purple wheelchair. He was convinced she wanted him to play with her by running after her.
Romeo crossed the Rainbow Bridge in February, 2021 at 8.5 years old.
With Romeo retired, and Parker retired I was without a therapy dog. I continued my service to WAGS as an Evaluator. In the pack that had raised Romeo, the two pitties were eventually able to go live with their mom, which left us with aging Parker and dear Nhat Nhat, our rescue pug who was diagnosed with bone cancer in her jaw. I had hopes she would/could be a therapy dog, but while she was house trained at home, whenever I took her out, it didn’t matter where she was, if she had/wanted to go she went! (This included in the office of my practice, the public sidewalk, etc.) We had a wonderful hospice vet, Dr. Courtney Bennett who worked with Nhat and us to keep her comfortable until the time came.
During this time, a wonderful Bullmastiff breeder, Melinda Agee of Melkev’s Bullmastiffs, who I had been in contact with years ago when I was searching for a bullmastiff and she connected me with Otis’ breeder, and ironically, she was working with ABARS (American Bullmastiff Association Rescue Service) and did our home visit when we adopted Bentley, a therapy dog prospect who unfortunately developed osteosarcoma before we could get him as a WAGS Ambassador, contacted me. She said she had a beautiful dog that had all the makings of a therapy dog.
She explained that it was devastating, she could not/would not breed her because of an ACL injury at such a young age. Apparently one of the littermates also experienced this injury which then seemed to be genetic, and as the ethical breeder I know Melinda to be, she wasn’t about to breed this dog. She wanted to know if I was interested! Hell YES! Melinda’s dogs are amazing and I was so honored that she would remember me, and know that I worked and volunteered with therapy dogs.
I explained to her that it would be a little while before we could adopt Tango because Nhat Nhat was currently dying of bone cancer, and we just couldn’t disrupt her life with a new family member. Of course, she was understanding. We went to visit/meet Tango because it had to work with Romeo. We took Romes to visit and meet Tango. She could have cared less about him! We instantly fell in love! (I’m a sucker for the brindle Bullmastiffs. Otis was one, and so was Tango).
Sadly, the day came that Nhat was ready to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Our wonderful hospice vet ventured out on a wintery day with a significant snowfall to assist. We were saddened by Nhat’s passing, but Tango gave us such a welcome distraction. She and Romeo became fast friends.
She was about 18 months old when we adopted her. She was definitely therapy dog material! I had to do some work with her, knowing what the evaluation entailed, and she had been on limited activity as she had ACL surgery and was in rehab. She quickly became a WAGS Ambassador. We did visits to St. Joseph’s Children’s Home and were one of the teams for the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office.
She visited St. Joe’s with several other great teams, one of them being Sharon Edelen and Tootsie. They were an amazing team... Sharon had taught Tootsie so many wonderful tricks, from saying her prayers, to talking on the phone, putting herself to sleep, etc., they were such an inspiring team! Tango didn’t do any of that. She was just a BIG dog, that loved to get pets, and brushed from the kids there.
I think one of my favorite experiences with Tango was her work with the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office. We were called to work with a little 4 yo kiddo who was having to testify because he was a witness in seeing his uncle and mother get shot. His mother survived. His Uncle did not.
We met with this kiddo a couple of times before the trial. When we first me at the Commonwealth Attorney’s Advocate office this little 4 yo was eating a McDonald’s Happy Meal. Tango was soooo hoping he would share some fries with her. (She LOVED food)! She waited patiently as he finished his meal and the attorney/advocates were asking him questions. He took to Tango, and she him, quickly. Once this preliminary meeting was finished, we all made plans to meet again on another day to tour the court room. Currently, the Commonwealth of KY does not allow therapy animals in the court room as some states do, during a trial, but when the courtroom is not in use, kids and the therapy animals can go in and get acquainted with the surroundings.
We came back on the designated date/time so that this kiddo could see the courtroom, sit in the witness chair, see where the judge would be, as well as the perpetrator, and where Tango would be when he was testifying. He met the Bailiff, sat in the witness chair, tried the microphone, had Tango by his side, and seemed confident.
The advocate and I explained that when we all came back for the trial that Tango would not be allowed to be in the witness stand with him. Tango gave him one of her trading cards, we talked about what her nicknames were, what she liked to eat, play with, etc., and said that he could carry her card with him on the day of the trail.
Trial day came. His mom was super nervous, not just because she was going to have to testify but because her little 4 yo son was going to have to testify, with the perp there in the courtroom. We got there early and hung out in the witness waiting area before moving to the vestibule of the court room. I explained to this kiddo that while Tango was not allowed to go in with him, she would watch from the little crack between the doors, the entire time he was in there. We gave him another of Tango’s cards, because he had forgotten his at home.
After some time, he was called in to testify. He walked directly to the witness chair and turned in the chair to face the judge directly, putting his left hand up to shield his face from his peripheral view of the perpetrator. After being asked his name and the preliminary questions about who he was, he asked the judge if she knew Tango. She shook her head no. He proceeded to pull out Tango’s card and tell her all about Tango; what her nicknames were, what she liked to eat, play with, etc., (too precious)!
The judge was able to ask him the necessary questions and he answered. He came running back to the vestibule area where his mom, other family members, Tango and I were waiting. His mom was going in next. Tango was able to stay with him for a while before the advocate said we could leave.
As a therapist, I am used to working within the confines of HIPAA and maintaining confidentiality at all costs. I was so thankful days later when the advocate called me to let me know the outcome of the trial.....thanks to the little 4 yo’s testimony, with the courage of Tango supporting him, it was instrumental in obtaining a guilty verdict!
That’s what this work is all about. Offering support and the unconditional love of a therapy dog, to give kids the courage to do such difficult things. This was just one of many rewarding experiences I had with Tango. I miss her and Romeo so much (as well as my other therapy dogs). I think Finn McCool is going to make a super therapy dog, and hopefully will do wonderful things like Romeo and Tango. | <urn:uuid:3ac704da-e814-47cd-9206-15385dedc79b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://kywags.org/tribute-orton/ | 2022-09-26T00:00:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334620.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925225000-20220926015000-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.992208 | 2,431 | [

Report: “Virtual Reality and Smoothie Bars: What’s in at Bay Area University Libraries?”
University libraries mentioned in the article:
- San Jose State
- Santa Clara University
- Sonoma State University
- UC Berkeley
- UC Santa Cruz
From The Mercury News:
Librarians at UC Berkeley are holding workshops for students on what to do with the information they collect using drones. At Stanford, they’re experimenting with virtual reality. And across the Bay Area, as more textbooks gather dust and coursework moves online, universities are reimagining their libraries.
“We’re like fish,” said Sonoma State University librarian Karen Schneider. “If we don’t keep swimming, we die.”
Students today might be digital natives, but many still come to college not knowing how to search an online database, said Cody Hennesy, Cal’s e-learning and information studies librarian. So he visits classrooms and offers workshops. Samberg, an intellectual property attorney in a past life, helps students and faculty navigate an ever-changing web of open source material, fair use policy, privacy concerns and ethics issues.

After I had searched nearly an hour in Cairo's Khan al-Khalili Bazar for the legendary Zuqaq al-Midaq the eponym of Naguib. Mahfouz's most popular novel, Midaq Alley - a young Egyptian noticed the Mahfouz paperbacks I was carrying and, in near-perfect English, asked me if I really expected to find the famous street..
"Lately, many people are looking for Zuqaq al-Midaq," he said, "but the real Midaq exists only in their minds."
After some polite conversation, however, Muhammad pointed out the tiny winding street that had - since the novel's publication - come to be known as Zuqaq al-Midaq. Once inside the narrow passage where Mahfouz used to walk daily, I spotted many shopkeepers who could easily have passed for Abbas the barber, Uncle Kamil the candy-seller, Kirsha the café-owner and other inhabitants of Mahfouz's fictional alley.
The alley is in the heart of the ancient Jamaliyya quarter of Cairo, where Mahfouz was born and spent his childhood and where much of his best work is set. His attachment to the quarter is still strong, decades after leaving it for the suburbs, but at 77 he laments that he is not able to visit it as often as he used to. The great boulevardier has cut down on the long walks for which he was famous; now he goes mainly to the Ali Baba Café on Thursday nights, often in a car, to see his old friends. Last December, the writer's frail health prevented him from traveling to Stockholm to receive personally the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature: His two daughters accepted the award in his name.
Even so, the recognition of his accomplishment means the world to Mahfouz.
"The Nobel Prize has given me, for the first time in my life, the feeling that my literature could be appreciated on an international level," Mahfouz told Aramco World. "The Arab world also won the Nobel with me. I believe that international doors have opened, and that from now on, literate people will consider Arab literature also. We deserve that recognition."
Hussein al-Habrouk, the writer's longtime interpreter and colleague, recalled that on the day of the announcement of Mahfouz's selection by the Swedish Academy last October, Mahfouz found ten reporters at his home who had heard the news before he had.
Since then, Mahfouz has been interviewed well more than 125 times. When I spoke to him in his sixth-floor office in the modern headquarters of Cairo's leading daily, Al-Ahram, at least a dozen other people were standing in line to see him - including an Egyptian reporter for a Spanish-language weekly in Madrid, television crews from Sweden and East Germany, and a middle-aged couple from Milwaukee.
That Mahfouz talks to the press at all is surprising, considering his near-deafness, his ill health and his hectic schedule. But Mahfouz - a practicing journalist who still writes a weekly column for Al-Ahram entitled "Point of View" - has never had trouble managing his time.
"Frankly, I am one of those people who have prepared my life well," he said. "I wake up early in the morning and walk for an hour. If I have something to write, I prefer to write in the morning until midday, and in the afternoon, I eat. At night, I prefer to sit and watch television. Thursdays and Fridays I consider my holiday, when I meet my friends and my literary colleagues."
According to Habrouk, journalists may no longer tag along with Mahfouz on his daily walks, and television reporters are now banned from the Ali Baba Café because their lights and camera equipment disturb the other patrons. Al-Ahram has even purchased a car and hired a driver for Mahfouz, to help him avoid the crowds that invariably pop up wherever he goes. Mahfouz, whose office is decorated with a self-portrait, various paintings and a window from which he can look across most of downtown Cairo, had simpler beginnings.
He was born in 1911, the son of a middle-class Jamaliyyah merchant, and graduated from Cairo University in 1934 with a degree in philosophy. Following that, he worked in the university administration and then for the government's Ministry of Waqfs, or religious foundations.
"I started writing while I was a little boy," said the author, who wears thick bifocals and speaks passionately. "Maybe it's because I was reading a lot of books I admired, and thought that I would like to write something like that someday. Also, my love for good writing pushed me."
By 1939, Mahfouz had already written his first three novels, one of which - The Struggle of Thebes - drew a parallel between the Hyksos invasion of ancient Egypt and the pre-war British occupation of modern Egypt. He later began work on The Cairo Trilogy, a monumental, 1500-page work that has been published in French and Hebrew but only partly translated into English.
Then, in 1959, Mahfouz serialized one of his most unusual novels, The Children of Gebelawi, in the pages of Al-Ahram. This book, which portrays average Egyptians living the lives of Cain and Abel, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, was so controversial that it was banned in all of the Arab world except Lebanon.
Despite the notoriety that Children of Gebelawi attracted, Mahfouz considers the trilogy to be his most important work by far. "If the point of view of the writer is important to his books, then I think The Cairo Trilogy and El-Harifish are much more important works than Children of Gebelawi," he said.
The Nobel Prize is by no means the first recognition of Mahfouz's stature as a writer. In 1970 he received Egypt's National Prize for Letters, and in 1972 won the Collar of the Republic, his nation's highest decoration. In addition, many of his novels have been made into films, and the characters of his stories have become household names throughout Egypt. But the Nobel Prize is the first time Mahfouz has ever received international acclaim.
Arnold Tovell, director of the American University in Cairo Press, says Mahfouz has been overwhelmed by all the resulting attention.
"From Egypt's point of view, it's a major event in cultural life, and Mahfouz sees it as a celebration of Arab literature in general," said Tovell, who says he visits the author at least once a day. "The reason for the worldwide response to Nobel Prize winners in literature varies enormously. Mahfouz is indeed a novelist in the classic sense. What he writes about is so accessible, so human, that it both literally and figuratively translates around the world in a way some other novelists' works do not.
"Through his collected works, you also get a portrait of 20th-century Egypt. Miratnar, for example, is a reflection of what Egypt was like for the middle class, but with very specific characters, very real people dealing with extraordinary events in their lives."
The broad appeal of Mahfouz' works has meant that the AUC Press has had to reprint six of his titles because of unprecedented demand for the books. In addition, he said, Mahfouz books are now being translated into Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, German, Spanish, Italian, Serbo-Croatian, French and Icelandic.
"The amount of attention paid to Mahfouz in the Arab press has been stunning," he said. "The whole business got started in these offices. One of the first things we had to do was make sure Mahfouz knew he had won. Since then, we have done nothing but represent him around the world to foreign publishers. We have licensed 20 foreign-language editions of varying titles, and there are probably another 20 which we're in the process of negotiating. In addition, Doubleday in New York has committed itself to publish 14 books by Mahfouz."
Throughout his career, Mahfouz has chronicled the vicissitudes of modern Egypt, and he has often been affected by them himself. Children of Gebelawi is still unpublished in full in Arabic, and until he won the Nobel Prize his works were banned in many Arab countries because of his outspoken support for President Anwar Sadat's Camp David peace treaty with Israel. In 1985, Mahfouz wrote The Day the Leader was Murdered, a description of the Sadat years.
"We are passing through a very sensitive time," Mahfouz said, "and on the whole, this country is facing very big problems. We are like a woman with a difficult pregnancy. We have to rebuild the social classes in Egypt, and we must change the way things were during [President Gamal] Abdel Nasser's time. As the tension eases, we must look in the direction of agriculture, industry and education as our final goals, and toward democracy under Mr Mubarak."

Karen came over tonight with fresh shrimp from the coast for a family meeting about the bakery. We are moving forward with the application process – cross your fingers! Karen and I had lots to gab about regarding or choices of cities while Matt played computer games. Seems like he should be the one that’s most excited!
Per usual, white wine was opened. I gladly accepted as I was ready for a snack (at 5:30) and wine satisfies me just as much as yogurt 🙂
I had a second pour with dinner
We turned the shrimp into a gumbo of sorts (I classify anything with okra and tomatoes as a gumbo – sorry if that is technically incorrect!)
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled + deveined
- ~5 cups of whole okra, washed and trimmed
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 whole tomato, chopped
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- ~1/3 cup leftover bell peppers, chopped
- 3 chicken stock cubes
- ~1 tbsp creole seasoning
- + 1 cup dry Lundberg’s short grain brown rice, cooked per package (LOVE this short grain rice!)
Prep shrimp. Bring chicken cubes (~1/2 a cup?) to a simmer and add okra. Cook for ~5 minutes. Add tomatoes, jalapeno, peppers and seasoning. Cook 3-4 minutes. Add shrimp, cover and cook ~3-4 more minutes. Shrimp are done when they are pink. Serve over rice.
I had about 1/2 a cup rice with a cup of gumbo. It was delish!
We had some cornbread in the freezer and headed up a small slice of that to have on the side. I believe this was the Trader Joe’s mix. So sweet and delicious!
After dinner Karen brought more of her Fig Bars, although I realized they are not figs, but dates inside!!! I was actually really full and just had one bite of Matt’s. First time ever I haven’t been interested in dessert!

When you check movie times in Warsaw cinemas, you might think Kinoteka is just another multiplex cinema. But you’re wrong, it’s anything but that!
First of all, it’s located in the city’s most iconic building – Palace of Culture and Science, with an entrance on Al. Jerozolimskie, which is now a listed building. Like in other parts of this building, in Kinoteka you can also expect to see some original halls designed in social realism style. That’s especially true upstairs, therefore even if your movie is screened in one of the bigger rooms (number 1 – 4), make sure to see the corridors leading to smaller rooms located on the first and second floor.
The repertoire is varied and consists of both more commercial Polish and international features, as well as more ambitious European productions since the cinema is part of the Europa Cinema network.
Thanks to the special atmosphere and lower than average ticket prices Kinoteka is always my first choice when I want to go to the movies. | <urn:uuid:48affc60-a9ca-47c4-a630-481ce3b2783e> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.spottedbylocals.com/warsaw/kinoteka-warsaw/ | 2022-10-02T15:36:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337338.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002150039-20221002180039-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.962876 | 220 | [

I attended the 2019 Detroit auto show (NAIAS) last January, but unlike other years, it was for work. I spent most of my time in the basement pretending to be interested in autonomous vehicle stuff. It’s a section called AutoMobili-D, and you may have seen it if you got lost looking for the bathrooms.1
That is, if you even came here at all—auto shows are apparently dead. This year, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche weren’t at the show. Ferrari was not there, and neither was Lamborghini. Some of these manufacturers haven’t attended the Detroit auto show in years.
Next year’s Detroit auto show will be held in June to try and fool people into believing Detroit has decent weather and that they should visit.
Still, there were two particular cars that I wanted to see this year. So when I had a little time at the end of the day, I took the chance to sneak upstairs and see them. The first was the 2019 VW Golf R, a car I might buy this year, and the other was the 2020 Toyota Supra, a car that I won’t.
2019 Volkswagen Golf R
In the past, I’ve used the auto show to check out a car that I was interested in buying, but I’ve ended buying none of them. I’m hoping this year will be different. I spent most of my time sitting in the Golf R, visualizing if this is the right car for me.2 My mantra was, “be one with the car—and no, you can’t have a turn in here yet!”
I’d like a new car, but I’m always reluctant to let go of my old one. I still like my current car. That’s why I’m a hoarder. I’ve never watched Marie Kondo, who I presume is not a psychopath, but goddammit, my (old) cars spark joy in my life. Leave me alone.
2020 Toyota Supra
One of the perks of my job is seeing or working with pre-production vehicles. I saw prototypes of the Supra a year ago in Sweden,
hooning testing in the snow at our winter test facility. I didn’t recognize it at first as I had not been following its development. But after some googling, I realized that our demo vehicle was in the same garage as the Toyota Supra and BMW Z4 convertible.
Engineer: Someone who does precision guesswork based on unreliable data provided by those of questionable knowledge.
As a supplier who works with multiple automotive manufacturers, I try to be respectful of their secrecy, so I didn’t pry. I wasn’t even sure if the engineers working on the cars were from my company or BMW/Toyota. But I was around the cars enough to know that I wanted the two-seater Supra. At least, until I saw its base price—$50,920.3
Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.
I would probably be disappointed if I were to get one. There’s very little chance that I would be drifting through ice and snow on a frozen lake with this car, like I saw in Sweden. It’s probably like the old saying, “never meet your heroes.”
Seeing it without all of the camouflage and stickers brought closure to my experience from last year.
While I never got the chance to drive the Supra in Sweden, I got to do the next best thing. I drove a Volvo Amazon (non-Bezos version) and a Trabant, both of some indeterminate model year.
Someone in my company thought it was a good idea to put anti-lock brakes and stability control in these vehicles which could be switched on and off, and they were right. I still grin remembering how much fun these were in the snow. Like I said, sometimes my job has perks.
Like sands through the hourglass, so are the minutes at the auto show. | <urn:uuid:11d927eb-cae3-4be7-b3d2-c02ef9162901> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://crankydriver.com/word/2019-detroit-auto-show/ | 2022-10-06T16:42:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337853.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006155805-20221006185805-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.976276 | 872 | [

Channeling the ominous sound of an 80s prom in a war zone, Nashville post-punk outfit Palm Ghosts debut their dark dance track “Bloodlight”.
Palm Ghosts, located dead in the heartland of country music, is as sonically far from the honky-tonks and pedal taverns of their adopted Music City USA as one can get. The quartet draws from early cinematic dream pop and new wave, embracing their 80’s idols: New Order, The Cure, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, and even Divine, to name a few. The band acknowledges they are more at home in “rainy Manchester or blustery Berlin.”
Lyrically, however, one may be surprised to learn songwriter Joseph Lekkas still absorbed the poetic American Gothic sensibilities of hardscrabble odes penned by blue-collar scribes Porter Wagoner, Lee Hazlewood, and Loretta Lynn. There are even echoes of early R.E.M. (particularly Texarkana) in the soaring hook. The blend of styles is pure magic steeped in poignancy.
The noir track compares the climate crisis to a crime scene: “Luminol is a chemical commonly used in forensics for the detection of blood stains,” says Lekkas. “Nothing vanishes without a trace and particles of blood adhere to surfaces for years…The same applies to what humans have done to the earth. The damage will remain long after we are gone.”
Listen to Bloodlight below:
Earlier this year, Palm Ghosts released Lifeboat Candidate, a giant earworm on unrest, isolation, and frustration. While the world feels little changed since then, the new Lost Frequency album is different. It is an album lost to the pandemic hearkening back to before the great stasis; a grieving of a sense of normalcy. However, the lyrics still bring confrontation to the forefront, and remind us that normalcy is still devastating.

I do not host or maintain any of these online films myself; these pages just link to publicly available trailers, clips and full-length films at YouTube and Vimeo. If full-length films are posted without authorization, the links will be disabled after the service determines there is a problem.
Films from the 1940s continued the patterns of the 1930s with feisty “girl reporters” sparring with boyfriends (usually policemen or competing newsmen); crusading. entrepreneurial, sensational journalists, and “Robin Hood” style rascals with press cards. “His Girl Friday” is first on the list with most of those themes.
Added to the mix: Warnings about the rise of Fascism at home and abroad. Many echo America’s entry into World War II in December 1941; wartime films range from escapism to both subtle and explicit messages about American values — including the importance of a free press in a democracy, and the ability of powerful publishers to subvert those values.
His Girl Friday (1940)
Don’t tell anyone, but this is Hildy Johnson from “The Front Page” with a sex-change…
Alas, the YouTube poster whose copy of the film I’d linked here has had his or her account suspended because of complaints about copyright violations. Sony pictures is now offering a (presumably high quality) streaming copy for a fee over YouTube, but off-brand DVD companies and other sources have insisted for years that the widely reproduced film is in the public domain. For example, see https://archive.org/details/his_girl_friday

Babies for Sale (1940)
Glenn Ford starts out as a reporter investigating phony adoption agencies, and willing to give up his job rather than forsake the investigation. YouTube has the full film, it may be an unauthorized copy. See IMDB: Babies for Sale for more information and Turner Classic Movies: Babies for Sale if you have cable access.
The Green Hornet (1940 serial)
A young publisher decides that editorials aren’t enough in the fight against rackets. He needs a fast car, a mask and a gas-gun, but the newspaper’s reporters still come in handy.
The full Green Hornet serial is available at the Internet Archive as well as YouTube, and in digitally remastered DVDs through Amazon.com, including versions that edit down the 13 cliffhanger episodes into one feature-length film.
The Green Hornet began as a radio serial, and the movie serials closely followed earlier radio scripts. See and hear more about The Green Hornet at “Newspaper Heroes on the Air” jheroes.com
A Dispatch from Reuter’s (1940 trailer)

Keeper of the Flame (1942, clips)
“They didn’t call it Fascism, they called it Americanism…” a clip headlined Same As It Ever Was from NewHampshire Gazette on Vimeo. (Unlike the YouTube players, this Vimeo player may display as a white block until you click to start the film.)
A former war correspondent (Spencer Tracy), is back in the U.S. to talk to the widow (Katharine Hepburn) of a recently deceased charismatic leader and write an upbeat biography. Instead, he winds up with unsettling discoveries, including some about newspaper publishers, fascism, right-wing politics and propaganda to turn groups of Americans against each other and toward a megalomaniac dictator. Among the targets the Fascists singled out — disappointed former military officers who were business failures and wanted a return to glory, and disappointed media moguls:
“Here’s a list of newspaper editors who either sought to occupy public office or sought to dictate who should occupy public office — and when they failed felt the public was a great stupid beast…”
Thanks to the New Hampshire Gazette for putting this clip on Vimeo. The full film is for sale online through Amazon.com or WarnerArchive.com
Superman: Electric Earthquake (1942)
The Corpse vanishes (1942)
Trailer: “Police baffled! A public in terror! Nothing can stop this fiend on his hideous trail except a girl reporter…”
Full-length film (The Corpse Vanishes is also at Archive.org)
The Power of the Press (1943 – clip)
Samuel Fuller wrote the story, but hadn’t yet begun making his own films (See “Park Row,” 1952, and “Shock Corridor,” 1963). Lee Tracy plays a cynical, no-nonsense city editor in this tale of a power-mad editor-in-chief, a murdered publisher, and a good-hearted new owner who may be out of his depth.
Blood on the Sun (1945)
Foreign correspondent James Cagney uncovers Japanese plots before Pearl Harbor, and gets to demonstrate some judo moves along with his investigative reporting. New York Times review called it “strictly robust spy drama…” but warned about its (summer 1945) portrayals of the Japanese:
So we have here an entertaining movie in the time-honored Cagney groove—tough, hard-hitting and explosive, with just enough rudimentary suspense. But let’s not approve it too quickly; it treads too boldly upon critical ground. In the first place, it makes a pulpwood fiction out of a historic incident. And, more than that, it puts the Japs in the popular but highly deceptive “monkey” class. A true comprehension of our enemies and the sort of people with whom we’ll later have to cope is brusquely waylaid by a picture as glibly cocky as “Blood on the Sun.”
The Phantom of 42nd Street (1945)
(A drama critic reluctantly investigates a murder — not to be confused with the 1933 musical “42nd Street” or “The Phantom of the Opera,” 1925, 1943 or 2004! Some of them may be better movies, but I don’t think they have prominent journalist characters.)
The Story of G.I. Joe (1945)
The story is based on the kind of reporting that won war correspondent Ernie Pyle a Pulitzer Prize. He is played here by Burgess Meredith, covering young soldiers and their young lieutenant, Robert Mitchum, from Tunisia to Italy. For more on the real Ernie Pyle, see his legacy page at Indiana University. The film is posted on YouTube frequently, then taken down for copyright violation and posted again by someone else. However, both the 1945 film and the similarly titled PBS documentary “G.I. Joe: The Ernie Pyle Story” (1999) are both available on DVD. The Turner Classic Movies website has a The Story of G.I. Joe trailer and clips.
State Fair (1945)
The reporter is the one romancing the farmer’s daughter on the amusement park airplane ride toward the end of this YouTube clip, while the her brother serenades a red-haired showgirl on the dance floor. The reporter (Dana Andrews) doesn’t do much singing, but his side of the story does get more of the plot in this version than in the 1962 remake, where the farmer’s son’s romance took top billing. The reporter was even more of the story in the 1932 novel, its 1933 (non-singing) original film adaptation, and the radio versions of both the musical and non-musical stories.
Note: Unfortunately, some of the people who upload out-of-copyright films to YouTube also upload films that get challenged by rights-owners, which gets the uploader’s YouTube account blocked for all films. If a film you want to see no longer plays here, go to YouTube and search for its title. You may be surprised. | <urn:uuid:880a691c-37a2-40d7-ac0b-f284f887bb8e> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://stepno.wordpress.com/newspaper-films/1940s-films-1/ | 2022-10-06T17:23:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337853.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006155805-20221006185805-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.93816 | 1,915 | [

Rising rents are fueling demand for previously overlooked Manhattan walk-up apartment buildings, according to the New York Times. Seventy-one such properties sold in the second quarter of this year, a 115 percent increase from the same period in 2009, Eastern Consolidated research shows. And as prices rise, sales volume has increased even more dramatically: $640 million worth of properties traded hands in the first half of this year, up 205 percent from the same period three years ago.
These properties are often occupied by at least some rent-regulated tenants, who have actually helped buoy investor interest in the sector. For landlords, they are an indicator of large profit potential, while for lenders who finance the acquisitions they are a sign of safety — building income literally can’t get any lower. As a result, buyers of these properties can often secure mortgage rates of less than 3 percent, compared to as much as 8 percent for new developments.
Ironically, while rent-regulated tenants may help seal the deal, the new landlord immediately begins trying to replace them with market-rate renters.
Simultaneously, landlords upgrade market-rate units in order to increase the rent roll. “We think that there are a lot of potential tenants who are coming out of high-end rental buildings with doormen and elevators that are looking for a similar feel but at a more affordable price,” Silverstone Property Group President Martin Nussbaum told the Times.

Recent changes mean reporting entities can now rely on customer identification procedures undertaken by reliable third parties to meet their customer identification and know your customer (KYC) obligations under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) laws. Partner Langton Clarke explains the changes which commenced on 17 June 2021.
A reliable third party only includes another reporting entity or an AML/CTF regulated foreign equivalent.
A reporting entity can rely on the customer identification procedures of a reliable third party on an ongoing basis where—
A CDDA must—
If a reporting entity enters a complying CDDA with a reliable third party, it will have the benefit of the safe harbour provisions.
A reporting entity which satisfies the ongoing arrangements provisions is afforded a 'safe harbour' from liability for isolated or occasional breaches of the customer identification procedures. Isolated or occasional breaches are those that occur rarely and are of minor or immaterial impact.
The reporting entity remains responsible for—
A reporting entity must undertake regular assessments of CDDAs to ensure reliable third parties continue to meet the agreed requirements. These assessments must be undertaken at least every two years and consider—
A material change may include publication of adverse regulatory findings against the third party, adverse media against the third party, changes in ownership or control of the third party that may affect its risk profile, or open-source information indicating a significant change in the domestic money laundering, terrorism financing, or serious crime risk environment in the country where the third party is based.
Reporting entities are required to make a written record within 10 days of completing a regular assessment to outline the findings and conclusions.
To utilise the case-by-case provision, there must be reasonable grounds for the reporting entity to believe it is appropriate to rely upon the reliable third party's identification procedure. In addition, the reporting entity must have 'reasonable grounds' to believe the verification information will be made available as soon as practicable if it requests it.
The reporting entity must obtain from the reliable third party information about the identity of the relevant customer obtained while carrying out that procedure. The reporting entity must make a written record to outline how the requirements for reliance with a third party were satisfied.
Even where relying upon the case-by-case provision, it is advisable to obtain a signed statement from the reliable third party confirming it satisfies the relevant requirements, which also includes representations about the items to which the reporting entity is required to form a 'reasonable belief'.
Reliable entities utilising case-by-case arrangements will not benefit from the safe harbour provisions.

Paye Stonework and Restoration
The 13th Century Greyfriars Chapel, spans the river at The Eastbridge Hospital, Canterbury. Remnants of the friary church incorporated into the eastern boundary of the Franciscan Gardens site are still visible as well as part of a stone bridge across the main river channel, along with the stone revetments upstream of it.
Paye were instructed to undertake conservation repairs, consolidation and stablisation to the surviving parts of the medieval boundary wall. This included the removal of deep-rooted vegetation to the South Wall elevation and following a sampling process, replacement of eroded brickwork with grouting of voids and deep re-pointing where necessary.
Areas of the North Wall elevation had become structurally compromised and required the brickwork to be taken down and rebuilt with bricks set in a lime putty mortar, and where cementitious flaunching’s had failed, they were renewed in a natural hydraulic lime (3.5).
Consolidation and repair work to a ragstone arch required the removal of vegetation growths and re-pointing of the failing mortar.
Old cementitious repair mortar to the failed central joint was raked out and the void packed with a new ragstone stone insert and mortar to place the arch joint back into compression.
Greyfriars Chapel is the only building remaining of the first English Franciscan Friary built in

The PH5 Spring 2020 show was more than a 5-year anniversary.
It’s hip to be square according to PH5. The Spring Summer 2020 collection was all about straight angles and trippy square patterns. The checkered patterns dominated the collection, interspersed with gauzy ruching and ethereal layering. This year was not only the collection’s 5-year celebration but a launch of their new eyewear line, which came in hip cool-girl shapes of their own.
Taking a cue from one of the season’s trends, layers were abounding, with gauzy pieces covering the body-con inspired dresses. The ’80s Japan inspiration turned up in the fun colors and playful ruching, with suits meant to bring some playfulness to traditional workwear attire.
This season also brought an added layer of tech to the knits, integrating unique UV technology that changes the thread color in the sun. This means you’ll get a changing outfit depending on whether the clouds decide to come out that day.
While the presentation day remained drizzly and windy, the creamy beige and pink-toned colors still hinted at a flirty palette. | <urn:uuid:16210094-d5a4-43ae-a719-2809f996414d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.styletomes.com/fashion/ph5-knits-summer-2020/ | 2022-09-24T22:24:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030333541.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220924213650-20220925003650-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.941876 | 251 | [

Apple has published instructions on removing a piece of malicious software that targeted Mac customers. The company claims that an upcoming Mac software update will remove the malware from infected systems.
In a bulletin published Tuesday evening, Apple listed steps to remove the malware, and added that an upcoming software update for Mac OS X would detect and remove the malware, as well. The OS X update will also warn customers if they click on the malware's Install button, according to Apple.
The malware, called MacDefender, MacProtector or MacSecurity, manipulated customers with a web pop-up warning them that they were infected with a virus. The malware promised to remove the virus, but once installed, it sporadically loaded porn-popups on the computer. The ultimate goal of the malware was to steal credit-card information by convincing people to pay for the fake antivirus software.
Wired.com last week reported an uptick in the number of customers reporting malware-infected machines on Apple support forums and to Apple support technicians. MacDefender was the main culprit among the reports.
The growing presence of MacDefender renewed a timeless debate about the state of Mac security versus Windows security. Security researcher Charlie Miller told Wired.com that while he believed the malware problem was growing worse on the Mac, it's still a small threat compared to malware on Windows.
Miller and many security researchers agree that the Mac architecture is not inherently more secure than Windows to make it invulnerable from viruses; the idea that Macs can't get viruses is a myth. The simple explanation is that few virus makers target the Mac platform because it has such small market share compared to Windows.
Apple's software update and security bulletin provide evidence that a considerable number of customers were affected. However, it's impossible to know just how many, because Apple has not responded to press inquiries about MacDefender.
ZDNet's Ed Bott, who was first to discover numerous complaints about MacDefender, claims that one AppleCare agent said 50 percent of calls to the support hotline two weeks ago were related to MacDefender. He also claims that AppleCare receives between 10,000 and 20,000 calls a day, and because MacDefender has been making the rounds for the past 25 days, he estimates between 60,000 and 125,000 Mac customers have reported being infected by the malware.
Just because Apple is issuing a software update does not mean the threat of MacDefender is completely squashed. In an e-mail to Wired.com, ESET security noted that the MacDefender malware continues to evolve in appearance and name to fool naive customers.
"The malware's name is going to change continuously, and it's likely the user interface will, as well," said Dan Clark, vice president of marketing at ESET.
Clark wrote a blog post with screenshots showing what the malware looks like when attempting to infect a machine. | <urn:uuid:cd5c12d8-279a-4ff9-bbde-aacb967559fb> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.wired.com/2011/05/apple-malware/ | 2022-09-24T23:09:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030333541.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20220924213650-20220925003650-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.959551 | 595 | [

While some investors are already familiar with financial metrics (hat trick), this article is for those who want to learn more about return on equity (ROE) and why it matters. We will use ROE to examine Bureau Veritas SA (EPA:BVI), as a concrete example.
Return on Equity or ROE is a test of how effectively a company increases its value and manages investors’ money. In other words, it is a profitability ratio that measures the rate of return on capital contributed by the company’s shareholders.
Discover our latest analysis for Bureau Veritas
How to calculate return on equity?
Return on equity can be calculated using the formula:
Return on equity = Net income (from continuing operations) ÷ Equity
So, based on the formula above, the ROE for Bureau Veritas is:
26% = €446 million ÷ €1.7 billion (based on the last twelve months until December 2021).
The “yield” is the amount earned after tax over the last twelve months. This therefore means that for every €1 of investment by its shareholder, the company generates a profit of €0.26.
Does Bureau Veritas have a good return on equity?
A simple way to determine if a company has a good return on equity is to compare it to the average for its industry. However, this method is only useful as a rough check, as companies differ quite a bit within the same industry classification. As the image below clearly shows, Bureau Veritas has a better ROE than the average (16%) for the professional services industry.
That’s what we like to see. Keep in mind that a high ROE does not always mean superior financial performance. Especially when a company uses high levels of debt to finance its debt, which can increase its ROE, but the high leverage puts the company at risk. To find out about the 2 risks we have identified for Bureau Veritas, visit our risk dashboard for free.
The Importance of Debt to Return on Equity
Companies generally need to invest money to increase their profits. This money can come from retained earnings, issuing new stock (shares), or debt. In the first two cases, the ROE will capture this use of capital to grow. In the latter case, the debt necessary for growth will boost returns, but will not impact equity. Thus, the use of debt can improve ROE, but with an additional risk in the event of a storm, metaphorically speaking.
Bureau Veritas’ debt and its ROE of 26%
Bureau Veritas uses a high amount of debt to increase returns. Its debt to equity ratio is 1.45. While there is no doubt that its ROE is impressive, we would have been even more impressed if the company had achieved this with less debt. Investors need to think carefully about how a company would perform if it weren’t able to borrow so easily, as credit markets change over time.
Return on equity is a useful indicator of a company’s ability to generate profits and return them to shareholders. Companies that can earn high returns on equity without too much debt are generally of good quality. All things being equal, a higher ROE is better.
But when a company is of high quality, the market often gives it a price that reflects that. The rate at which earnings are likely to grow, relative to earnings growth expectations reflected in the current price, should also be considered. You might want to take a look at this data-rich interactive chart of the company’s forecast.
But note: Bureau Veritas may not be the best stock to buy. So take a look at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt.

The term “ostensible agency” refers to the relationship that exists between two parties and that leads a person to believe that the first is an agent of the second, or vice versa. For example, ostensible agency would apply to a hospital worker who is employed by an outside contractor.
For all intents and purposes, patients may believe that worker to be a direct employee of the hospital but, in fact, he is an “ostensible agent” who is employed by a third party. This can create confusion in a malpractice action when a patient sues the hospital for the actions of such a worker. To explore this concept, consider the following ostensible agency definition.
Definition of Ostensible Agency
- A relationship that exists between two parties that would lead a person to believe that one party is employed by the other.
1720-1730 Latin ostēns(us)
Even if an employer hires an independent contractor, the employer can be responsible for the actions of that contractor. This is known as “ostensible agency,” or “apparent authority.” When an employer does something to suggest that the independent contractor actually works for him, or fails to correct this assumption, it can be held liable for the independent contractor’s actions.
When a person is hired as an independent contractor, an agency relationship develops. For example, ostensible agency may exist when a homeowner hires a carpet installer to install carpet in his home. While the homeowner hires Company A, Company A may then hire an outside contractor to actually do the work. This contractor may then show up to install the carpet without specifically informing the homeowner that he is not an employee of Company A. This is known as apparent authority.
Should something go wrong with the installation, causing the homeowner to eventually file a civil lawsuit, it is likely he would sue Company A. Because it is the contractor himself who made the mistake, the company may want to push the responsibility off onto him, but ostensible agency holds that, because nobody told the homeowner the installer wasn’t an employee of the company, it may be held liable anyway.
Amy and Aaron are remodeling their home, and the visit a discount flooring outlet to purchase hardwood flooring. The company offers free installation if the purchase a certain amount of flooring, so they decide to have the wood installed in three rooms.
On the day of installation, two workers show up in an unmarked work truck, and get to work. When Amy and Aaron get a good look at their floors that evening, they realize there are gaps between planks and mis-cuts, and the installers have left a mess of sawdust, floor glue, and packaging in their laundry room.
When Amy contacts the flooring outlet demanding to have the problems corrected, they refer her to an independent contractor they hired to do the installation. Unfortunately, the contractor refuses to return her calls, so the couple files a civil lawsuit against the flooring outlet. In this case, neither the outlet or the installer advised the couple that the installer wasn’t employed by the outlet.
In this example, ostensible agency makes it likely that the outlet will be held responsible for correcting the problems. It may, alternatively, be ordered to reimburse Amy and Aaron for the cost to have someone else re-do the installation, as well as for any additional flooring that may need to be purchased.
Ostensible Agency in the Medical Field
Ostensible agency in the medical field is a type of vicarious liability. In this case, a healthcare organization – such as a hospital – can be held liable for the negligence of any healthcare provider under its control. In order for this type of ostensible agency to apply, something must have occurred to lead the patient to reasonably believe that the healthcare provider was actually employed by the organization. This belief by the patient may be what determines the organization’s liability, whether or not an actual employment relationship exists.
Ostensible Agency Example in Personal Injury Lawsuit
An example of ostensible agency being challenged in a court of law involved a personal injury case from 1981. Here, John Lynn Stephens was seriously injured when his motorcycle went out of control. Stephens had recently had a new tire put on the bike by L&A Tire Company. Stephens sued L&A Tire Company, among others, for damages related to personal injuries, claiming that a washer had been trapped between the tube and the inside of the tire. As a result, Stephens claimed, a leak was created which led to the rapid deflation of the tire that caused Stephens’ accident.
Stephens based his complaint on theories of negligence, product liability, and warranty. Conoco, Inc. was joined in the action as a co-defendant. Stephens claimed that it was the Conoco sign that he saw displayed at the service station that gave him the confidence to select L&A for his repair service. He believed that he could rely on the services he would receive, considering how well known the Conoco brand was. Conoco filed a motion for summary judgment, claiming that it had no control over how the L&A Service Station operated, and that the employees who performed the mounting of the tire were agents and employees of L&A, not Conoco.
Further, Conoco claimed that the only item it furnished to the owner of the service station was a Conoco sign. It did not distribute or sell Dunlop tires – like the one that Stephens had purchased – to the service station, defective or otherwise. The district court sustained Conoco’s motion and dismissed the case against them, finding that the facts presented by Conoco could not be disputed. Said the Court:
“The existence of actual authority between principal and agent is not a pre-requisite to establishing apparent authority. Apparent authority results from a manifestation by the principal to a third person that another is his agent. The manifestation may be made directly to a third person or to the community by signs or by advertising.”
“Apparent authority exists only to the extent that it is reasonable for the third person dealing with the agent to believe that the agent is authorized.”
The Court held that Stephens’ merely saying that he believed the repair services offered by L&A were authorized by Conoco was not enough to oppose Conoco’s motion for summary judgment and save the case from dismissal.
Court Ruling on Ostensible Agency in a Franchise
In the fast food industry, it is common for ginormous companies to sell franchises. In this case, the parent company furnishes the brand name – complete with universally-recognized logo and advertising slogans – the menu, and required operational standards. The franchise owner takes care of everything else, including hiring employees, training them, and firing them when they don’t live up to standards.
In 2014, three fast food workers in Oakland, California filed a civil lawsuit against their employer, a family-owned company operating eight franchise restaurants, for a host of labor code violations. These workers also named the fast food parent company in their lawsuit.
Eventually, the workers settled their case with the franchisee (the family-owned company), but continued with their lawsuit against the parent company, turning it into a class-action lawsuit on behalf of more than 1,200 employees. In order to be successful in suing the parent company under an ostensible agency theory, the workers must prove:
- The workers reasonably believed that the franchisee had the authority to act on the company’s behalf
- The workers’ belief was fostered by something the parent company did, or failed to do
- The workers didn’t negligently rely on the franchisee’s apparent authority
The judge determined that there was not enough information to support a class action suit, but the individual workers – and the original group of three plaintiffs – could continue in their original claims against the parent company. The parent company asked the court to dismiss all claims against it, claiming that it had no direct control of the workers’ employment, and therefore it could not be held liable for wage and labor code violations of the franchisee.
The court decided that it was possible that the franchisee created the impression that it was acting as an agent of the parent company. If the employees relied on that mistaken understanding, ostensible agency may leave the parent company holding the bag. California law defines an employer as anyone who “directly or indirectly, or through an agency or any other person, employs or exercises control over the wages, hours, or working conditions of any person.”
Ultimately, the federal court granted the parent company a summary judgment, releasing franchisors from wage and employment claims under the ostensible agency theory. Essentially, as franchisors have no actual control over the employees, they cannot be considered joint employers.

Build a 5 to 8 slide presentation of your ideas. Include your previously developed logo and tagline in your presentation.
>>>>>>In a professional career, one may be called upon to conduct research and deliver findings in professional settings. No matter how extensive the research or accurate the conclusions, a weak presentation can undermine an argument. A presentation is a tool to assist in making an argument. When creating presentations, students develop skills in researching an issue, synthesizing the information, organizing data logically, and presenting findings in an effective manner.
Principles of an Effective Presentation:
- You may utilize a product such as Microsoft’s PowerPoint or Google Presentation to create your presentation.
- There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. However, first consider your presentation from the perspective of your audience prior to selecting a specific style. Distracting backgrounds, large blocks of text, all uppercase fonts, elaborate font styles, grammatical errors, and misspellings are distracting. Be consistent with the style of text, bullets, and sub-points in order to support a powerful presentation that allows your content to be the focus.
- Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual. Your presentation is not a means of presenting a short paper. In an actual presentation you would not “read” from your slides but rather use them as prompts.
- Any notes or narration you would use in delivering this presentation to a group should be listed in the “notes” section of theslide.
- References should be listed at the bottom of the slide in slightly smaller text.
- Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.
- Be mindful of the intended audience and seek to assess the presentation’s effectiveness by gauging audience comprehension (when possible).

The up-and-coming neighborhood of Francisville, just east of Fairmount, has a new restaurant as of 4 p.m. today when Gin & Pop opens its doors. Brothers Tom and Kris Kwiatkowski named their venture after its location: Gin & Pop is at the corner of 19th, Ginnodo, and Poplar Streets. The property was formerly Flying Carpet.
Tom Kwiatkowski brings the industry experience, having spent time at several Philly restaurants including, most recently, Scarpetta off Rittenhouse Square. Kris was a professional musician but he had some bartending and bar managing experience under his belt. He moved back to Philly from LA a few years ago.
The idea for Gin & Pop took root on July 4, 2014, when Kris was hanging out with friends who live across the street and noticed the Flying Carpet. A neighbor mentioned he heard they were looking to sell.
“It piqued my interest,” Kris says. “I didn’t come back looking to open a bar, but the idea started to take shape — and it became the dream.”
The brothers liked the up-and-coming aspect of Francisville and the new construction going on.
Gin & Pop aims to be “a little something for everyone,” Kris says. “We want it to be a step above the corner bar. Casual enough that you can come in in shorts and a T-shirt, but with food that’s high-quality enough to come here for a date.”
The food is from chef Josh Noh, whose résumé includes Talula’s Garden, Sampan, and Matyson. Kris calls it “elevated bar food” — he’s avoiding the played-out “gastropub” label — with plates broken up into small, medium, and large.
The menu starts with mini-lobster rolls and cheddar curds with curry tempura, moves into a short rib poutine and hickory-smoked wings with a pickle brine, and ends with bigger dishes like a vegetarian version of a cheesesteak made with mushrooms and a signature burger with “special sauce.”
Gin & Pop’s address is 1839 Poplar Street. It’s open 4 p.m to midnight Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday, and 11:30 a.m. to midnight Sunday. | <urn:uuid:85114221-3482-4937-b14e-110c067c95a4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://philly.eater.com/2017/10/6/16435892/gin-and-pop-francisville-philadelphia-open | 2022-09-28T23:34:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335286.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928212030-20220929002030-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.964012 | 529 | [

I don’t claim much knowledge on the intricacies of the explosive situation in Moldova. For anyone who has been asleep the last few days, Moldovan students are attempting their own “colored revolution.” On Tuesday, over 10,000 students ransacked the Moldovan Parliament demanding new elections after a Communist Party electoral victory on Sunday. The Communists won around 50 percent of the electoral, beating out their fractious liberal rivals, and claimed a super majority of 60 seats in Moldova’s 101 seat parliament. The students claim mass vote falsification. But unlike the innocuous colors of orange, tulip, and rose, the Moldovan youth appears to favor blood red.
Anyone interested in unfolding events from a variety of sources should check out Scraps of Moscow. Lyndon’s knowledge of Moldova is impeccable.
For an breakdown of why the Communists won, see Vladimir Socor’s “Ten Reasons Why the Communist Party Won Moldova’s Elections Again” from the Eurasian Daily Monitor. Of Socor’s ten reasons, I find these two most compelling:
4) The Communist Party is the only major party with a multi-ethnic electorate. Most opposition parties (including all three that have now entered the parliament) rely entirely on ethnic Moldovan voters (a minority of whom define themselves as Romanians) and have not seriously attempted to reach out to “Russian-speaking” voters. Many “Russian-speakers,” who defected from the Europe-oriented Communist Party in recent years, crossed over to small pro-Moscow groups or declined to vote, rather than joining Moldovan opposition parties. The Communist Party was able to offset that loss by increasing its share of the ethnic Moldovan vote.
5)Exit polls, conducted by Western-funded NGOs, showed that the Communist Party made significant inroads into young age cohorts for the first time in these elections. As the poll coordinator, sociologist Arcadie Barbarosie (head of the Soros Foundation’s local affiliate) observes, the Communist Party can no longer be stereotyped as a “pensioners'” or Soviet-nostalgics’ party (Moldpres, Imedia, April 6).
Two reasons why the Communists won was because they crossed ethnic lines and generational lines.
In this author’s summation, the liberal parties appeal to “pan-Romanian nationalistic ideology,” makes this crisis one between the Communists and the far Right.
Or is generational conflict really at the heart of the protests? The centrality of youth is something that Lyndon emphasizes in this rundown of events. As these two participants/eyewitnesses testify,
The students are discontented with the election result. Most of the people who voted for communism are old people, but old people are dying and there are more young people voting now than before. So the result is definitely not true. It’s not logical.
We don’t want to be governed by the communists anymore. I think the Communist Party should be outlawed, just like the Nazi Party is outlawed in Germany.
. . .
Most of the people in Chisinau voted for the democratic parties. I’ve been asking friends, neighbours, people on the street.
Indeed in the villages, where there are only old people left, most people would vote for the Communist Party. But the young people of our country want a better life, they can’t be satisfied with $150 a month.
Another interesting component to the protests that attest to their youthful flavor, is the use of Twitter as a mobilizing tool. As the NY Times, explains
The sea of young people reflected the deep generation gap that has developed in Moldova, and the protesters used their generation’s tools, gathering the crowd by enlisting text-messaging, Facebook and Twitter, the social messaging network.
The protesters created their own searchable tag on Twitter, rallying Moldovans to join and propelling events in this small former Soviet state onto a Twitter list of newly popular topics, so people around the world could keep track.
Or as Carroll Patterson, a doctoral student on Moldovan economics, told the Times,
“I wouldn’t necessarily call it an anti-Communist movement,” Mr. Patterson said. “This really is a generational squeeze. It’s not really the Communists versus the opposition. It’s the grandmothers versus the grandkids.”
At the center of the protests are two youth organizations, Think Moldova and Hyde Park. Natalia Morar, the Moldovan journalist who was banned from Russia last year, is one of the Think Moldova leaders. | <urn:uuid:9dd519cb-63e9-43c3-98d1-83978dd494e8> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://srbpodcast.org/2009/04/08/moldova-between-red-and-brown-young-and-old/ | 2022-09-28T23:33:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335286.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928212030-20220929002030-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.947969 | 978 | [

I mentioned to a friend that my novel could be facing more “gutting” ahead, my word for revising and editing.
He wrote back, “It sounds astonishing that after three revisions you could still get it gutted and have an enormous pile of work to do again. Are you feeling positive about it?”
Here’s how I responded: Think of it like a house you just bought. You love the house. It has a sturdy foundation. And you know there’s so much potential with it. But as you move in and decide how to move forward with it, you might decide, “Hmm. If we knock out a wall here, that will make for much easier access between the kitchen and living room.” Or “I really hate this carpet, but if we rip it up and put in white oak pine floors, that will really make a difference.” And so forth.
That’s where I feel I’m at right now. Moving forward, I’ll be focusing on that “interior” stuff—knocking down walls, trying different paint colors, rethinking layouts, and so forth.
And three drafts is nothing (at least, for some writers). Of course, there are also writers like Lee Child who write only one draft.
Luckily, I’m one of those writers who loves revising. I’m not sure I’ve always been like this. But as challenging as some of these revisions have been (a year ago was tough), I’ve loved watching this book shape up and get closer and closer to where it should be. These last two revisions went really fast, which tells me I’m on the right track. | <urn:uuid:968fbd5c-32b4-4155-a230-98420bf08c70> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.robynbradley.com/revising-and-editing-also-known-as-are-we-there-yet/ | 2022-09-28T23:07:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335286.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928212030-20220929002030-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.969175 | 367 | [

Families, communities, and nations are stronger when responsible adults stay alert for possible problems and prepare to overcome them. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints emphasizes the need for members to practice preparedness. Part of being self-reliant is to be prepared for emergencies and to avert catastrophes. The same should be true of communities and nations.
The United States of America is currently going through a contentious election, but it did not have to be this way. In 2005 a bipartisan commission prepared a report and submitted it to the federal government. The co-chairmen of the Commission on Federal Election Reform (known informally as the Carter-Baker Commission) were former Democratic President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker, a Republican who served in the George H.W. Bush administration. The report submitted to the George H. Bush administration had 87 recommendations for securing American elections.
According to Fred Lucas at The Daily Signal, the “commission was created to address voting and election integrity raised by the tumultuous 36-day postelection battle of 2000, which was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court.” The decision awarded “Florida’s 25 electoral votes and the presidency to Republican George W. Bush over Democrat Al Gore.” Lucas continued:
Had Congress and state governments adopted many of the panel’s recommendations, the 2020 postelection mess between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden might have been avoided, said Carter-Baker Commission member Kay C. James, now the president of The Heritage Foundation.
“So many of the problems we’re now hearing about in the aftermath of the 2020 election could have been avoided had states heeded the advice of the Commission on Federal Election Reform,” she said.
James continued: “Simple protections against fraud, like voter ID and updated registration lists, make perfect sense if we truly believe that every vote must count. Election officials should take another look at the commission’s recommendations and make sure they’re doing everything possible to protect the integrity of our elections.
“Several states adopted aspects of the recommendations, particularly voter ID proposals.” It appears that Congress did not like the report and did nothing about it. Now we are in a terrible fix with 70% of Republicans believing that the 2020 election was not free or fair. The 74,000,000 people who voted for Donald Trump are not happy about the situation.
[The commission] called on states to increase voter ID requirements; to be leery of mail-in voting; to halt ballot harvesting; to maintain voter lists, in part to ensure dead people are promptly removed from them; to allow election observers to monitor ballot counting; and to make sure voting machines are working properly.
They also wanted the media to refrain from calling elections too early and from touting exit polls.
Lucas continued by discussing further many of the suggested items that could have averted the current electoral mess. The alleged fraud in this election is costing millions of taxpayer dollars and thousands of manhours. The effort and cost are necessary now to ensure election integrity in the nation now and in the future – but the changes could have been made at much lower costs fifteen years ago.
Many times, families or communities do the same thing. They ignore advance warnings until it is too late. Instead of replacing a few shingles or reshingling the entire roof, some homeowners wait too long and are forced to replace much of the roof and supporting timbers. Instead of taking the time and making the effort to read to preschool children, some parents wait until a child brings home failing grades in school before they act.
Communities are just as bad in that equipment breaks down completely before being replaced, or major work must be done on schools instead of regular upkeep. The only way families, communities, and nations can stay free from serious problems is to regularly take stock of the situation and make necessary changes early to avert total disasters. | <urn:uuid:d0702c7b-db77-4053-8e2c-9916e3e4abf6> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://causeofliberty.blogspot.com/2020/11/why-are-we-so-slow-to-act.html | 2022-10-02T23:09:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337360.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002212623-20221003002623-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.96662 | 814 | [

After the first excursions, we felt like it was time to do some serious exercise. We decided to hike La Soufrière, the active volcano on Guadeloupe.
The starting point of the hikes is above the village of Saint-Claude and the views while driving up there where already quite spectacular. We had the luck of traveling on the island while the fire trees where blooming: quite the feast for the eyes!
Starting our hike at 950m we continued untill the top, at 1467m in altitude. The steepness and difficulty of the path at some points and the hot, humid weather made it an uneasy walk though. Quite different from hiking in the Alps for instance.
The current crater of the volcano is called ‘La Vieille Dame’ – the Old Lady. It was created somewhere in the late Middle Ages out of a relatively young volcanic crater (120 000 years old). The last eruption of La Soufrière was only in 1976. It was a really violent one, which lasted for over 8 months. Each time the volcano errupts, earthquakes occur as well, often causing landslides.
Because it is an active volcano, currently in what’s called a sleeping state, visitors get warned in advance. During your hike you might come accross acid steam erruptions, instable terrains or hot water projections. You might experience some irritation of the eyes, skin and breath, or in a worse case, burn wounds. Lucky for us, we didn’t experience any problems other than shortness of breath due to the climbing on our hike. We followed the marked Chemin des Dames hike, which takes you to the summit in about two hours of climbing (the hike is about 6 km in total).
Starting at the hot sulfer baths “Les bains jaunes’, you climb up through different zones of vegetation: denser rainforest in the beginning, later on the vegetation gets scarser and some zones have clearly been sulferised (yellow colour due to the volcanic activity). All along the way, the hike offers stunning views on the island and the coastline.
While we had clear weather all the way up, the summit was covered in a thick pack of clouds, as is often the case. It didn’t stop it from being quite spectacular. Standing just besides an active volcanic crater is quite the experience. Steam was coming out of it constanly and we couldn’t help feeling very small indeed. | <urn:uuid:81180bb1-fe91-4a7b-9d0e-7db01e9b5c7d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://blog.ourworldheritage.be/2016/01/03/hiking-la-soufriere/ | 2022-10-05T14:21:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337631.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005140739-20221005170739-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.961081 | 514 | [

Screen free: I know it’s unheard of with screens even at gas station to entertain us while we pump gas. Screens are everywhere! Over a year ago we significantly cut down our daughter’s screen time. We have weaned it down to practically zero.
It hasn’t been easy, but it has been worth it.
She was like any other kid who wanted to watch her favorite Netflix shows and I used it to occupy her so I could get things done. It was our babysitter so we could cook, clean and shower since she was little. I don’t really know how I would have coped if we had gone screen free when she was younger, but we are making it now.
She doesn’t play video games. She has a tablet that I turn on for music, audio books, and video her singing. Audiobooks are our new TV; we use them for long road trips or just winding down time. She loves them as much as screen time, but they stimulate her brain in a much healthier way. I purchase some from Audible and we have Alexa, who our daughter can ask to play her book. No screen involved. I also use OverDrive App to borrow audiobooks from the library.
A screen free life is not for everyone; my husband and I still use our smartphones too much and indulge in Hulu nightly. But I want my kiddo to be better than me and less addicted to technology.
I have not come up with a solution for school testing though. I know a lot of tests will be on a computer and I want her to have the hand-eye coordination to excel. But where is the line or balance? I don’t have that one figured out yet. Possibly small increments daily.
My daughter has a reaction after being on a screen — her mood and attitude change.
It doesn’t matter the content and it happens every time. Twice a month or so we do a family movie night where we sit down and watch a movie together. She goes to bed right after so we don’t have to deal with too much consequence. It is also an incentive to make good choices in school and at home.
Restaurants and engagements with other families have been difficult on us and Karin. Kids now have their own phone or tablet, or ask for their parents’ phones and they are entertained. Karin then feels left out often. In those moments it’s very difficult not to give in and say have my phone. I tend to engage with her more or give her alternative activities like drawing or playing with magna tiles. It does take my attention off the grown-ups, but my daughter comes first always. Trips to other people’s homes are also tough when the kids are playing video games or watching their tablet and she can’t participate. When she is left alone in those situations I resort to the audio book.
It is a difficult journey and for the most part she handles it in stride, better then I would at 7 years of age. It helps to have friends who support our beliefs and have their children put away their screens when we are around.
I wish this parenting thing came with a manual, but we are making it up as we go along. | <urn:uuid:1c4cae3b-67c3-4e2d-8e19-668d9ee008f4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://chattanoogamoms.com/parenting/screen-free-kids/ | 2022-10-06T23:42:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337889.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006222634-20221007012634-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.98092 | 678 | [

Juniper’s Restaurant: Picturesque Vermont Inn Features Paired Down Local Menu| 01.04.19
The Downside: Higher Price Point; Parking Can Be Tight if the Inn is Busy
Mountain Rating: 7.7/10
In December we tried out the new and improved Juniper’s Restaurant. Now, this restaurant has been on our radar for many years as we really love the view and outdoor seating in the summer time. But, over their fall break (the restaurant shuts down from the end of foliage until just after Thanksgiving) they changed their menu!
The addition of an outdoor beer garden, last summer’s renovation that added the Spokeasy Lounge – a bar area perfect for the bike traffic that passes by, a face-lift to the main dining areas, and now the revised menu. It was nice to see some new menu options. I was impressed at the direction the restaurant has taken. New entrees focus on satisfying, stick to your ribs dishes full of flavor – like winter schnitzel, coffee-maple pork loin, butternut squash risotto, a warm harvest bowl, and mac and cheese. In addition to the main menu, their burgers and unique appetizers (like the Brussels sprout salad) provide plenty of variety while still including unique dishes and flavors for the area.
Dinner At Juniper’s Restaurant
We started our meal off with our standard cocktails. I was excited to see a maple whiskey cocktail made with a local maple syrup but the roads weren’t the greatest that night, so I stuck to one cocktail. For an appetizer we ordered the drunken mussels.
Over the years, we have always enjoyed the mussels at Junipers, swimming in a garlic butter, white wine sauce with onions. This time, the broth included beer in place of wine, plenty of lemon and garlic and, of course, butter.
The beer changed the flavor profile, creating a deeper more robust flavor compared to the wine based broth. The portion size was perfect for an appetizer, and it had great flavor. The price was a little high for the portion size but was still within range of what other area restaurants are charging for a similar quality dish.
My favorite part of the mussel dish is eating the broth with warm bread. And I wasn’t disappointed! The dish was served with a few pieces of bread and our server brought rolls to the table.
For dinner, I tried the Alfredo with shrimp, my husband tried the winter schnitzel, and our son ordered the Juniper Burger. We’ll start with the burger.
Piled high with veggies and topped with maple-glazed bacon, this beef patty, made with meat raised right here in Vermont, was mouth watering. To further add to the flavor profile, the patty sat on a bed of caramelized onions. A pile of fries finished off this plate. It looked like a ton of food, but was no match for a teenager. The burger was slightly overcooked, being medium-well instead of medium, and I prefer more seasoning, but overall it was a delicious burger and would have been more than enough food for me.
My husband ordered the winter schnitzel. This dish was the highlight of the evening. Served with an apple-cranberry relish the texture of a light apple sauce, this dish offered a surprising combination of flavors. Each bite started with a crunch, as a schnitzel should, immediately followed by the tart sweetness of cranberry which paired perfectly with the more mild flavored pork. For sides this dish was served with a seasonal vegetable, on this night it happened to be carrots and parsnips tossed in a maple glaze, and a side of flavorful mashed potatoes with plenty of garlic. The root vegetables with the maple added another layer to the dish and went well with the cranberry sauce. I have to admit, I was a little jealous I didn’t order it as my entrée.
Instead, I had to give the Alfredo a try. I ordered mine with shrimp, but the menu offers this dish with scallops, chicken, or without a protein. I was impressed with the thickness of the sauce. Many restaurants have either a very traditional, thick Parmesan based sauce, or something more milk based that is thin – more akin to a jarred Alfredo sauce. Juniper’s new Alfredo is somewhere in between, leaning toward the thicker side of the spectrum, but with enough cream to keep it a bit lighter. The broccoli in the dish was cut to bite sized pieces – a fact I greatly appreciated. And they were still crunchy, giving a burst of fresh veggie flavor to a heavy pasta dish. Well cooked shrimp rounded off the entrée.
Being that we had our teenager with us, we went ahead and tried some dessert. We split a maple crème brule, and it took all three of us to finish off the cookie sundae my son ordered. Both were delicious, and I sincerely suggest trying the sundae – it was fun to eat and I can see this being a nice treat on a summer’s day.
We dined at Juniper’s Restaurant soon after they had reopened, catching them with brand new employees and a new menu. Our initial wait was a little on the longer side. But when we were seated there were a number of tables just finishing up. Based on our previous experiences at the restaurant, this wait was an anomaly. Our food tasted fantastic and for the first week of a new menu, I think everything came out well. Over all we had a lovely experience.
Juniper’s at the Wildflower Inn
The location, the views, and the atmosphere of this Lyndonville, VT restaurant are really what set it apart. The expansive views of rolling hills, fields, and forest are all visible from most of the dining areas. In the fall, the color is spectacular. In the winter, all of that white looks inviting and magical, and in the summer and spring you’ll lose yourself in the green expanse dotted with the colors of wildflowers. It is a breathtaking view.
On the inside, the restaurant itself is inviting. Being situated in an old farmhouse, the inn has kept that feel throughout. When you come into the building, it is like coming into a home, with an inviting foyer, and a sitting room off to your right, complete with a wood stove. Through the sitting room is the Spokeasy Lounge. Filled with rustic wood tones, offset by tables made from bike spokes, it is a comfortable blend of modern and traditional. Owner, Jim O’Reilly told me over the summer that the thought behind the lounge was to make it a comfortable place for local mountain bikers to come eat. The Kingdom Trails network passes through the Inn’s property, but many of the bikers are hesitant to come into the restaurant in their gear. This way they can park their bikes, come into the lounge through the beer garden, and feel right at home.
To the left of the entry way is the dining room. This room speaks to the Inn’s past as a residence. Still looking very much like a living/dining room in a home, with the addition of a few extra tables, this room is perfect for families and large groups.
On the back side of the dining room is an enclosed, 4 season porch. This is my favorite place to dine here. Because of the wall of windows, the view is the focal point during the day, no matter the season. And at night, the small space is well lit, providing a bright and cheerful place to eat. The tables are a bit smaller here, but it is worth the trade.
Dining at Juniper’s has always been a treat, and this visit was no different. There are many activities nearby, making Juniper’s at the Wildflower Inn a perfect stop while you are out enjoying your next Northeast Kingdom Adventure.

Today on an advertising and marketing news website, I saw a posting on the front page for a Global Communications Manager for a large national grocery concern. The job description was some hiring manager’s wish list and, of course, so out of the ball park where real life candidates are concerned, it was pure fiction. BUT WAIT! As I read the 4 paragraphs of job functions, requirements and preferred’s, I realized I had nearly all of what was written there on my own resume. Well, if not all on the resume then certainly emblazoned on the pages of advertising and marketing history.
Here’s the list of job functions in the description of the idea candidate: communications, marketing, public relations, customer information, website content, social media and employee education.
Responsibilities (paraphrased with just a tinge of my own wry style): figure out how to articulate, brilliantly and consistently, the company vision inside and outside the organization. Create and grow an enterprise media channel and a team to support it. See around competitive marketplace corners and end run the fast trackers. Be the leader in the category, find, capture and keep a global customer base. Tell the story brilliantly by whatever means possible, effective, measurable, and ultra hip without alienating anyone. Keep adjusting to match the word on the ground about the firm and its competition. Be a cool, confident and masterful corporate spokesmodel and industry leader while taking direction from your superiors in good humor. Be strategic, yet friendly, strong, yet empathetic, forceful yet compliant. Understand and abide by the organizational matrix while working nimbly, responsively to the outside market pressures and always with “impeccable integrity”.
I’m going to post my story which is illustrative of something I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around for many years in the world of careers: How can anyone have all these things and be 27 years old?
I wrote a cover letter to attach to my resume hoping that the meer iteration of my varied work history would wow the hiring manager enough to favorably interpret my resume. At the end of the hour it took me to write this history I clicked apply only to find that the job was no longer available.
Anyway, here goes: MY LIFE STORY in 722 words!
Dear Hiring Manager, I saw your posting on Ad Age Talent Works, February 8, 2010. My first thought was “I can do this!” As I continued to read down the lengthy job description and requirements, I realized for the first time in a long time, that only a person with my especially diverse background and experience could actually meet the challenge described here. Following, is a brief Work History.
Open on: JOB FUNCTION – Broadcast Advertising Producer
Time Period: The Golden Age of Madison Avenue
I’ve worked in every medium since Television was king. Video is just today’s term for what I was doing in the country’s greatest advertising agencies. We told product stories on film. Then on tape, now on video. Same thing. Through the magic of broadcast, tell your story in a compelling way. Coral a team of work-for-hire crew people, shuttle back and forth from a team of ego-driven child like creatives and a team of button down collar MBA’s, effectively translate the madness to a team of anxious, check writing brand managers. Find the talent, the music, the crew, the money and the management skills to somehow get it all done and have fun doing it.
Cut to: JOB FUNCTION – Interactive Multi Media Production Manager
Time Period: The Boom Times of the Commercialization of the Internet
There were only a handful of people who could even talk to Software Developers (they weren’t called that in 1993) let alone market what they did to other people. Yet, that’s what I chose to leave advertising for. Sick of being told to “just do it the way we’ve always done it in the past”, I went to work at a think tank. There, I organized the Call for Entries for the First National Information Infrastructure Awards. I met some of the most progressive thinkers in the entrepreneurial forum of the times working in the hotbed of development, Venice California. Hollywood Online was down the hall, the guy beta testing Java was across the room. The first advertisement appeared on the Internet. It was a thrill to come into work every day. That job set the tone for the next ten years of my life as an entrepreneur on the “bleeding edge of technology”.
Cut to: JOB FUNCTION- Interactive Multimedia Producer/Writer/Project Manager supporting my habit as a Journalist on the Interactive Multi-media Beat
Time Period: The Information Age – The Height of the Internet Boom
Web start-ups were thick on the ground, advertising agencies were upside down, the Tower of Babel was growing between a generation of geek upstarts and the establishment. No one knew what to make of what was happening, let alone how to get in the action. A hand full of very smart people organized a vocabulary. The ones making all the money were the ones teaching the hungry mobs how to use it. I was one of them (the teachers not the mobsters). Clients sought out the few of us who could translate from traditional media to the new language of zeros and ones and all that that implied. People just wanted to get on the rocket ship. Most didn’t know where it was going and didn’t really care. I was a columnist for the new generation of web sites that told the whole story. Translating the principals of the new digital economy I was distilling what was geek to most people into language they could understand and use. Private clients kept me going as I helped build the new online world.
Dissolve to: JOB FUNCTION – Business Communications Consultant and Interactive Media Guru
Time Period: Post Internet Crash
Strategy, not content, is King. Everyone’s got the keys to the kingdom they just don’t know how to reach the constituents. The world is waiting for millions of messages and wants them all the time. Feeding the Beast is the new mandate and the information age producers don’t know how to. The blend of traditional and new media is daunting and the well-known vehicles for delivering the Word are out. Distribution is upside down. The world is transparent. Measurement is opaque. My work became translation of the New Age funnel to those searching for their audiences and paying customers. Perspective is everything. Having seen the movement from the inside out, I could see the story and tell it. And I still do. | <urn:uuid:bc90ac23-0a9a-48ce-9792-c38906d9cc9b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://executivewomen20.com/2010/02/08/my-checkered-past-and-my-uncertain-future/ | 2022-09-25T01:50:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334332.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925004536-20220925034536-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.956357 | 1,409 | [

What is a Celluform treatment?
Dissolves localized fat deposits and cellulite.
Effective lipolytic treatments that fight localized fat, cellulite, slow and weakened microcirculation, reduce circumference, tightens the skin and improves skin tone.
Slow and weakened microcirculation
Has excellent lipolytic properties. It is known for its anti-cholesterol and anti-triglyceride properties and has been recently applied in cosmetics for its action in the reduction of adiposity and cellulite. It also helps the body eliminate fat and convert it into energy in a completely natural way. As a consequence, the buttocks, hips, arms, and abdomen areas become thinner, through a natural substance that is completely safe.
Deoxycholic acid is active in the process of fat emulsion in the body and it facilitates the absorption of fat in the intestine.
Sodium deoxycholate, the sodium salt of deoxycholic acid, is frequently used in Intralipotherapy.
Deoxycholic acid is a bile acid that emulsifies and solubilizes dietary fats in the intestine, and when injected subcutaneously, it disrupts cell membranes in adipocytes and destroys fat cells in that tissue.
VITAMIN PP (NICOTINAMIDE):
It lowers cholesterol levels and works as a vasodilator (may cause redness and warmth) increasing vascularity and stimulating the microcirculation system. It guarantees a better functioning of the latter.

By Bishop Peggy A. Johnson
The “Three Simple Rules” offered to us by our Methodist founder John Wesley are:
- Do no harm.
- Do good.
- Attend to the ordinances of God (that is, spiritual disciplines that keep you close to God).
It is no small matter that the first of the three is “Do no harm.” Everything we do has a potential for harm.
Striving to “do no harm” compels us to think before we act, with a focus on how our actions might affect other people. Something that may seem harmless to us may be seriously harmful to others, depending on their life situations, culture or other circumstances.
We can’t do enough to be culturally competent Christians, always learning and exploring the values, histories and life experiences of people whose cultures are different from our own. Sadly, racism and white supremacy have blinded many European-Americans from seeing the harm they often cause. Such is the case with sports team names and mascots that misappropriate Native American images and cultures, and that too often depict them in derogatory, harmful, stereotypical ways.
According to the National Congress of American Indians the name “Redsk*ns is a racial slur that is rooted in a governmental bounty announcement calling for the bloody scalps of Native Americans in the 1800’s.”
Many sports teams use mascots that depict Native people as savage, violent people. And while some may think their depictions are somehow positive or even noble, they are nonetheless a misappropriation—indeed, a theft—of Native identities that don’t belong to them. As some Native advocates say, “We are not your Indians.”
Such misuse of cultural imagery contributes to the disregard of Native peoples’ personhood as an important community in the family of God. There is a high rate of hate crimes committed against Native Americans as a result of this negative influence, and it creates serious psychological, social and cultural harm. (www.ncai.org/proudtobe)
UMC stands against Native American mascots
The United Methodist Church has long advocated for the removal of such sports team names and mascots. Our 2016 Book of Resolutions states that, “It is demeaning to depict Native Americans as violent and aggressive by naming a sports team such as the ‘Braves’ or the ‘Warriors.’ The use of such names is not conducive to development of a society committed to the common good of all its citizenry, not to the self-esteem of Native children…Furthermore we urge all United Methodist-related universities, colleges, and schools to replace any mascots that demean and offend our Native American sisters and brothers. We also support efforts throughout our society to replace such mascots and symbols.” (pages 334, 335).
Teaching about this is a way of “doing no harm” and “doing good” at the same time. Society is slowly, finally waking up to this offense, and I thank God for the progress we are seeing.
The NFL team formerly known as the Washington Redsk*ns is now the “Washington Football Team,” effective July 23, 2020, until they decide on a new name. This action comes after decades of much grassroots advocacy to change the name. Suddenly, in the midst of the surging Black Lives Matter movement, pressure from now-conscientious corporate sponsors finally won the day.
Each one of us can speak out about things like this in our various spheres of influence. You don’t have to be a corporate sponsor to politely engage, educate and encourage others to do good and to refrain from doing or abetting harm.
The stereotypical, inaccurate depiction of Native American people and practices in old western movies is harmful. So is the inappropriate misuse of Native American traditional dress as costumes. It is important for all of us to be informed, insightful and respectful.
Doing good to reverse harm
I am happy to have heard a newscast recently about an Irish lacrosse team that bowed out of the 2022 World Games in Alabama so that the Iroquois Nationals can take their spot. (NPR October 1, 2020). This Native American team from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy was excluded from participating because they were not from a “sovereign nation.” It was sadly ironic because the Haudenosaunee were the originators of the game of lacrosse, which they initially called the “medicine game.”
People rallied in support of this team, and 50,000 people signed a petition calling for the organizers to reconsider. The organizers recognized this was a mistake; but the roster of eight teams was full.
That is when the team from Ireland, one of eight that made the roster, decided to reverse this harm and instead to “do good.” They gave up their place in the competition, saying that no one would be going to these world games in the first place if the Iroquois (part of the Haudenosaunee confederacy) had not invented the game of lacrosse.
As many of us now say, “Do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God!” There are so many ways we can live this out, as we strive faithfully to navigate our lives with gentleness and respect for all people, in obedience to God. Find your voice, use it to speak out for others, and make a real difference. Our world needs it now more than ever. | <urn:uuid:7c652b8e-f534-46fd-afa7-10851ae696da> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.epaumc.org/news/do-no-harm/ | 2022-09-25T01:44:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334332.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925004536-20220925034536-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.96066 | 1,148 | [

The first Anglo-Irish Guinness crisis
The food supply in the Republic of Ireland must have been affected by the war, especially for things like wheat which had been imported. Ireland needed to be supplied by sea and German U-boats would still sink ships bound for Ireland, even though the country was neutral. And obviously Guinness was a good lever to force the UK to provide more grain.
On the one hand, international maritime trade was severely, making it hard to import raw materials or food. On the other, the UK was easily Ireland’s biggest trading partner. Exports to the UK were hugely important for the country’s finances. There’s one pretty obvious Irish export to Britain: Guinness.
While selling Guinness to the UK might have been important financially, it couldn’t come at the expense of Ireland starving. Or going thirsty. The trouble kicked off early in 1942, when the Irish government indicated that no licences would be issued for the export of Guinness unless the UK exported 200,000 tons of wheat to Ireland. The wheat was needed as Ireland was running short of grains for making bread.
Ironically, Ireland’s difficulties were prompted by the USA’s entry into the war. Ireland had been importing American wheat via the neutral port of Lisbon, but after joining the war these shipments ended. Leaving Ireland about 80,000 tons of wheat short, if the supply of bread was to be maintained at its present level. The short-term solution was to use 20,000 tons of barley which would have between used to brew beer for export and divert it to bread production. And to ban beer exports.
This presented a huge problem for Northern Ireland, where between 70% and 80% of the beer sold was Guinness. Northern Ireland only possessed a single brewery, which was far too small to supply all the pubs in the province. Only relatively modest amounts were imported from the rest of the UK, mostly typical export beers such as Bass, Worthington and William Younger.
Nowhere else in the UK sourced three-quarters of its beer from a single brewery. But it wasn’t just Northern Irish publicans who were likely to lose out. Guinness themselves would lose a big chunk of their sales. In 1942 more than half the beer they brewed was exported.
A suggestion was made to provide the Ulster Brewery – the only producer in Northern Ireland – with more materials so that it could boost production by 25%. But that would still have fallen well short of replacing the beer usually supplied by Guinness.
The crisis was resolved in a couple of weeks, with the first fresh supplies of Guinness arriving in pubs on March 16th, 1942. The quantities supplied were the same as before the export ban.
At the time both sides were cagey about exactly how a resolution had been achieved. A couple of months later, in response to a question in the House of Commons, Major Lloyd George, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food, assured MPs that no cereals had been exported from the UK to Ireland since January 1st 1941.
They must have done something to change the Irish government’s mind. What could it have been? Knowing how tricky politicians can be, perhaps the UK had grain shipped directly to Ireland from elsewhere, allowing the official to truthfully say none had been exported from the UK. | <urn:uuid:84440d43-1730-4420-adbe-63364a13aee6> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-first-anglo-irish-guinness-crisis.html | 2022-09-26T08:59:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334855.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926082131-20220926112131-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.985558 | 683 | [

Its a crisis – the ice maker has stopped functioning!! Luckily we had a few cubes left for happy hour tonight, but to avoid another crisis tomorrow night, I need to resolve this!!
My problem is in the “no water in the ice maker” category. For troubleshooting, I first defrosted the freezer to make sure nothing was stuck. Next I checked the water supply valve behind the fridge. There was water on the supply side, but none coming out of the valve. Next I jumpered the valve solenoid and got water flowing by connecting 120v to the valve.
I have the ice maker removed from the freezer, and after reading a few posts here, I am leaning towards testing the thermal switch that connects to the back of the ice maker next. It is an inline thermal cutout that is in the wiring harness that goes into the ice maker. I read a post on here that it is recommended to replace the entire harness if that thermal is bad, but I don’t see that happening.
I would like to test this component next, but am not real sure how to do that without tearing it up. It appears to be covered in a thick shrink tubing. Any thoughts on how to easily test this? Anyone know where this wire goes to? Any other thoughts for troubleshooting? I read a post that mentioned a troubleshooting manual for download that allowed testing of certain points on the ice maker. Link to that?
This is for a Norcold 1200LRIM 4-door. 120v at the wiring harness going into the icemaker. Water supply solenoid functional when jumped. 45+ psi shore-supplied water pressure. Fully defrosted. Warm cocktails.
Any help muchly appreciated. Of course I have pictures that I will post up a bit later ….June 20, 2022 at 1:20 pm #3739
You did have the arm down didn’t you?June 20, 2022 at 1:26 pm #3740
okay ill try..June 20, 2022 at 1:27 pm #3741MackenzieKatherineParticipant
Thanks for the links. Looks like will be the most help right now. It has full troubleshooting steps.
a k: Yes, first thing I checked. Then I stuck my hand into the cube tray and found there was no water in there. It seemed like once the last batch was done, it just didn’t refill, which I found odd.
Thanks again to the both of you for the links. I appreciate the help.June 20, 2022 at 1:29 pm #3742
I have often described the sequence on an ice maker, Perhaps I should boiler plate it.. First, far as I know both Dometic and Norcold use U-Line ice makers,, so this is the U-Line sequience
When the ice tray gets cold enough (I think 25F but am not sure) the thermostat closes, the timer motor starts and the gears turn.. As the gear turns a cam closes a switch which bypasses the T-Stat, the U-Shaped heater comes on (With the motor) and a cam raises the wire bail.. The “Fingers” turn down and press against the ice cubes.. When this happens the motor stalls out (normal so don’t worry about it) till the heater melts the ice where it contacts the tray.. Then the motor continues to run and the fingers push the ice cresents out of the tray THe cresents will either fall off the fingers or be scraped off by other fingers…..later
Once the ice is out of the tray a cam closes a switch sending power (Far as I know the full 120 volts) to the solenoid. This switch is adjustable (The screw with teh +/- markings under the front cover) so as to compensate for differing water pressures.
possible issues and solutions:
#1 is TEMP, both Suspect #1 and 1st thing that can go wrong. If it does not get cold enough, it won’t start the cycle. To test, Use a thermometer.

Has the special Scorpio in your life become distant?
Are you worried that he’s slipping away from you?
Are you looking for ideas to win his attention back?
If you are, this is absolutely the best article you could be reading.
It features nine expert ideas for what to do in this situation.
But before we get into those, I need you to read the following sentences very carefully.
When a man pulls away from a woman he was once interested in, there’s always a reason. Scorpios are particularly unlikely to engage in mood swings without explanation.
It’s perfectly reasonable to fear that there’s another woman on the scene.
The problem is: you can’t go ahead and just question him about this.
There are few situations where he’ll be honest about this - and even less where he’ll be more attracted to you after asking about his private business.
That’s why I want to recommend this awesome online communications tracker tool.
It only needs a few of your crush’s personal details to get started.
Once it has these, it can generate a wealth of information about his recent communications.
This tool provides the most effective method of discovering what’s going in that head of this. It will put in the best position to win his heart back.
Best of all, it’s 100% discreet, so there’s no chance at all of him discovering that he’s being tracked. What he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.
With that said, here are nine tried-and-tested ideas for what to do when a Scorpio man is acting distant.
Scorpio men are tough cookies to crack open, so learning how to deal with a Scorpio man when he becomes distant can be very difficult.
You first need to understand what Scorpio men are like. Next, you need to determine how the average Scorpio male acts in a relationship. After that, you can take a look at why your Scorpio guy is acting so distant from you.
With a Scorpio man, you want to make sure you aren’t rushing judgment because they hate that! In fact, that’s one of the worst things you can do, so be certain that he’s actually behaving in a “distant” manner before accusing him of something!
We’ll go over all of that in this article so that you can be best prepared when and if your man is backing off for some crazy reason!
Scorpio men are born between October 23 and November 21. They are passionate creatures who love to communicate. When they get into something, they really go for it.
For example, if a Scorpio starts loving art, that may very easily become his new passion in life. They are very loyal, dedicated to what they love, and stuck in their ways; they can be quite stubborn!
Also, Scorpio men are quite adventurous; they enjoy getting into trouble every now and then, but if you have one as your boyfriend, you don’t have to worry about him straying.
Do you feel like he kind of takes you for granted?
Unfortunately this is one of the most frequent complaints we get from our readers, where they feel they aren't a priority for their boyfriend or husband. They always seem to have some excuse as to why they can't spend some quality time with you like they used to.
Due to popular demand, our friend prepared a quick video (click to watch) that'll show you to one easy but often overlooked thing that you can say to him today that'll help him realize how lucky he is to have you (hint: it's something that taps into how men are wired).
Scorpios are loyal and committed to the girls they love. Since they are protectors, they wouldn’t dream of hurting you on purpose - at least that’s what the signs tell us! A distant one is quite odd!
In a relationship, you have chosen a winner if you have a Scorpio on your arm. It’s important to understand what he’s like in a relationship if you are to solve any problems you may be having.
The best thing about a Scorpio man is that he is loyal and dedicated when in a relationship. He wants to commit to you completely unless he’s ready to move on to the next person.
One great thing about Scorpios is that they will protect you at all costs. Since he is big on commitment, he’ll either completely commit to you, or he’s just done. He’s an all-or-nothing guy.
Being a water sign, Scorpios are intense, secretive, sensual, emotional, deep, and can be vengeful at times. That’s quite a mix of characteristics! They almost contradict each other!
Since he’s intense and intimate, you need to know that your Scorpio man wants to get to know the real you, not the fake you that you put forth in front of others. He can be a bit insecure, meaning he doesn’t let people in easily because he’s fearful of judgment. Because of this, you should be very careful when judging his thoughts, opinions, or interests. He’s a little sensitive.
Sometimes, you need to just be honest with a Scorpio man, asking him if there is something that is bothering him. Be straightforward and try to get to the bottom of the issue. It may have to do with work or his family; you won’t know until you ask him! Just tell him you’ve noticed something has changed and are wondering what you can do!
Scorpio men like talking and expressing themselves because they are intimate creatures. If you are in a relationship with a Scorpio, you probably already know that. It’s time for you to express your feelings for him. Tell him how much you love, care, and miss him when you aren’t together. Express yourself; show your humanity a little bit. Open up.
If you already know your man well enough, you can just make sure his needs are being met. If he stops communicating and you don’t know why tell him you have sensed something is off and want to know what’s going on. Let him know that you don’t like this side of him and would like to understand how you can help because you see he’s upset.
If you are able to get your man to talk, be sure to let him tell you what’s going on without mocking, being sarcastic, or joking around while he talks. No one wants to be made fun of when they are telling another person their feelings. Don’t judge him for what he has to say; just be there, and let him do all the talking.
The best thing you can do is to recognize his feelings and try to put yourself in his shoes. How can you best relate to what he’s going through? What do you think he’s feeling? Be very understanding of his feelings and needs - without judgment! Think about how you would want to be treated if you were in his shoes.
Since Scorpio men love intimacy, having a feelings tournament may be the best thing for the two of you. Just open up and explain how this distance is making you feel. Tell secrets and get closer to each other again. Tell him a story from your childhood.
This is kind of a wild idea, but since Scorpios love to go all-in, it might just work wonders! Plan an awesome get-a-way where you can both enjoy the time you spend together. This could work miracles in your relationship.
You need to get him back in your corner if he isn’t already there. To do this, you may have to get creative. Ask him to play a good old-fashioned game of truth or dare. Have a crazy make-out session where your bodies practically unite. Plan a very romantic date or cook him a candlelit dinner so that the two of you can spend quality time together.
I think you should make love to him like it’s your first time. Really bare your soul to him, and I bet that he will feel such a connection with you, he’ll forget the reasons that were making him distant. He’ll remember all the reasons he fell in love with you in the first place.
Sometimes, guys just need time to sort their things out. However, don’t give him too much time! If he quits talking to you completely and you know he’s okay (he’s on social media or you’ve checked in with a friend or family member), you might want to go ahead and end things because he’s not acting fair to you by acting like this.
On the other side of things, make certain you aren’t acting needy and paranoid. Is he actually working late, or does he have family commitments that you know about but are choosing to ignore? Is he going through some personal issues that you forgot about? Don’t be controlling with your demands for attention.
This is a great way to get things back on track. Why did he tell you he fell for you in the first place? Remind him of that by doing what he loves so much! If he loves your baby voice, bring it back out and be super cute with him! Get creative as you get to the bottom of this issue.
Does he maybe just need a little breathing room? Certainly, give it to him if he needs it. If you are his girlfriend, he’s probably shared something with you, so you know what’s going on.
On the other hand, if you feel completely ignored and know he’s doing fine (social media or a family member told you), you may want to talk to him about this!
There is a time when enough is enough with distance. If he’s dropped off the face of the planet and quit coming around or communicating with you, you may want to call it quits after about three days of this behavior. You don’t deserve to be completely ignored, especially if you know he’s okay. Be sure to check with someone to see if he’s alright; then, end it over voicemail.
After all, you can’t get him to pick up the phone and be honest with you as to why he’s behaving like this. What choice do you really have?
If he decides to come crawling back, you can decide if he’s worth the trouble after that behavior or not. However, if he’s quit taking your calls, emails, social media requests, texts, and so on, and you know he’s there, you can do better!
Since a Scorpio man is big into intimacy and commitment, ignoring this guy in a relationship will not go over well. You need to decide if you are ready to stay in the relationship or not. If you aren’t, go ahead and take a bow and leave! Don’t play games!
Typically, a Scorpio man will tell you if he is no longer interested in you or if he’s found someone else. Since he is committed to relationships, he isn’t likely to hurt you on purpose. He’s more likely to dump you and then start dating other people rather than cheating.
A Scorpio man might pull away if he thinks you are no longer interested in him. Since they are all-or-nothing creatures, they tend to pull away fast if they aren’t into you anymore. They wouldn’t want to purposefully lead you on if they’ve lost interest.
Since Scorpios are intimate creatures, they want people who enjoy communicating their feelings and expressing their emotions in a real and honest way. They also want someone who is just as committed to relationships as they are, someone who values loyalty.
If you’ve lost your Scorpio man, you may not be able to get him to come back. Since they are all-or-nothing creatures, they tend to really commit to the person they are passionate about. You should be honest about your feelings for him and that you want him back.
Have things gone downhill with your Scorpio? Has he become distant? Which of the above suggestions are you going to try, or what will you do next?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the subject! Please comment, and don’t forget to share this post with someone!
Does it feel like pulling teeth getting him to say how he feels about you?
Some men can be very gaurded and closed when it comes to expressing how they feel - it can almost feel like they are pulling away from you. Many women make the mistake of pushing their man to say how they feel, but this is actually one of the worst things you can do as it can push him away further.
To get him to really show you how he feels and communicate how much he appreciates you, there's one simple thing, although often overlooked, thing you can say to him today that taps into how men are wired and can often lead to them suddenly pouring their heart out. My friend recorded a quick free video (click to watch) that shows exactly how to do that. | <urn:uuid:317a6dc3-773a-47fb-84f6-c6d45354814e> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://lovedevani.com/how-to-deal-with-a-scorpio-man-when-he-becomes-distant | 2022-09-26T10:36:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334855.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926082131-20220926112131-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.974814 | 2,821 | [

If you're not familiar with what does it mean if your head gasket blows out, it is simply a bad problem that requires a lot of repair costs. It's even one of the most expensive repairs costs your vehicle would ever get into.
Thus, the last thing you would want to deal with is a blown head gasket. Luckily, your vehicle would tell you if your head gasket will be bad or blows out soon before it even does.
According to automotive experts, there are common indications that's your head gaskets have failed.
This article helps you answer the question, is my head gasket blown? It also provides some recommendations about how to prevent dealing with a blown head gasket.
What is my vehicle's head gasket, and what is it doing?
The head gasket is a small metal component located between the engine block and the cylinders. Although the component is very small, it plays a major role in protecting your engine from failing.
Your vehicle's head gasket's main role is to seal the cylinders, prevent any liquid from making its way do the cylinders, and prevent hot gases from leaving this wonder and getting into the engine's block.
Every fluid in your vehicle has its path, and things cannot run into different paths. For example, if you must be transported from the fuel tank for the combustion system to get burnt out.
On the other hand, the coolant must flow around the engine block to cool the engine down if it increases its temperature beyond the allowed limit.
Similarly, the oil also flows around the engine and is responsible for lubricating moving parts.
As you've seen, each liquid is responsible for a specific job, and if any of them got into the flow paths of the other one, your engine could fail immediately.
That's where the head gasket comes into play. With a good head gasket, you don't need to worry about any of these fluids getting into each other's flow paths.
What causes the head gasket to fail?
Overtime views, your vehicle's head gasket can be out, resulting in insufficient sealing of the cylinders. As a result, you will deal with a blown head gasket, which can immediately damage your engine.
Many reasons could cause your head gasket to fail. For example, your head gasket's normal agent involves wear and tear, especially after thousands of miles of driving on this vehicle.
Another common reason for a blown head gasket and especially in older vehicles, is a problem with the design itself. Most older vehicles come with a thinner head gasket, which can't withstand the extreme temperature coming from the cylinders, and as a result, if you have an older car, you will be dealing with a blown head gasket frequently.
Also, your head gasket might fail due to engine overheating. The engine is designed to operate within a specific temperature range, and the cooling system is responsible for bringing this temperature down whenever it rises. Any problem was the cooling system could result in two engine overheating, which could affect the head gasket and cause it to fail.
What are the most common indications of a blown head gasket?
A blown head gasket is one of the most obvious problems you will see here and smelled as you drive the vehicle. He further here is some of the most common indications of a blown head gasket:
A milkshake substance in your engine oil
As we mentioned earlier, your head gaskets are responsible for preventing mixing between the coolant and the oil or the other fluids in your vehicle.
If you're dealing with a blown head gasket, the most common sign will be a milkshake substance on top of your vehicle's engine oil.
White-colored smoke coming out of the tailpipe
When the head gasket doesn't work properly, the coolant and antifreeze can get into the cylinders and get burnt with the air-fuel mixture. As a result, gas is coming out of your vehicle's tailpipe will not have its regular colors, and you will see a clear white smoke coming out of the tailpipe.
Water dripping from the tailpipe
It's very common to see some small drops of water coming out of your vehicle's tailpipe, especially if you're driving in lower temperatures. This water is most likely due to condensation happening inside the tailpipe.
However, if you started noticing a large amount of water leaking out of the tailpipe, this is a clear indication of a blown head gasket where different fluids got into the cylinder and left the vehicle through the exhaust system.
Your vehicle's coolant could leak out of your car for a different reason, including a blown head gasket.
To confirm that the coolant leak is happening due to a blown head gasket, you can locate the coolant leak source. If it's somewhere between the cylinders and engine block, then a blown head gasket is corporate.
Bubbles in the coolant's reservoir
Your coolant reservoir should not have anything but a coolant. In other words, you shouldn't see any gases or signs of bubbles.
If you started seeing many bubbles in the coolant reservoir, it indicates that the problems related to a head gasket because when the head gasket blows out, it allows the exhaust gas to get into the cooling system and flow with the coolant forming bubbles.
Engine overheating could happen for a lot of different reasons, including a blown head gasket.
As the head gasket blows out, the coolant and the oil get mixed, reducing both capabilities of bringing the engine's temperature down.
Unfortunately, you can't tell whether it's the head gasket or anything else causing the engine overheating unless you visit a professional mechanic.
The mechanic can use specific toolsets to scan the vehicle's internal errors and confirm the root problem.
Engine power loss
Your vehicle's engine is designed to perform within a specific pressure range, and if there is any hole around the cylinders, the air-fuel mixture can get out of the cylinders, and the engine will not have enough pressure.
As a result, you will notice a significant difference in your vehicle's behavior as your car will run rough, and the engine will lose power.
What will happen if I ignored a blown head gasket?
A blown head gasket is a big deal. It's a very serious problem. It's not something you could ignore for a couple of days and get back to it when you have time. As soon as you realize the field, you must take immediate action and get the vehicle repaired to avoid complicated issues and prevent high repair costs.
If you ignored a blown head gasket, you would deal with oil breakdown, a damaged catalytic converter, a damaged cylinder head, and in some cases, a complete engine failure.
How much does it cost to replace a blown head gasket?
As we mentioned earlier, replacing your vehicle's head gasket is one of the most expensive repairs, and it gets as close as replacing the engine or the transmission in some scenarios.
Depending on your vehicle's make, model, and year, replacing a head gasket could cost you between $1000 and $2000.
Unfortunately, to replace your vehicle's head gaskets, you can't do it on your own, and a professional mechanic must do it. The other thing to consider is the price of labor because replacing a head gasket takes a lot of time and effort, and thus, additional costs should be considered for labor, which differs by location you get the job done at.
For example, to replace a head gasket at a dealership, expect to pay much more than getting it replaced at a small repair shop.
Is it worth replacing my vehicle's blown head gasket?
The answer to this question must be done on a case-by-case basis. There are a lot of factors going into determining whether it's worth replacing the head gasket or not.
For example, if your car is in very high mileage and you're expecting significant problems soon in your vehicle, it might not be worth replacing an expensive part like the head gasket.
Similarly, if your vehicle already has significant problems in the engine or the transmission, you might not need to spend any money replacing the head gasket.
The bottom line is if you repair costs that close to 75% or higher of your vehicle's value, you don't want to spend a penny getting this vehicle fixed, and instead, you should consider purchasing a new vehicle.
Your vehicle's head gasket is one of the most important items that prevent any liquids from getting into the cylinders.
Since the head gasket is not designed to last forever, there will be a point in time where you will be dealing with a blown head gasket. This article helps you answer the question, is my head gasket blown?
The article lists the seven most common indications of a blown head gasket. If you notice any of these indications, you must immediately prevent high repair costs and severe damages to your engine. | <urn:uuid:3b9a9513-2d3a-4d50-bb90-40cb88988f4c> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.cashcarsbuyer.com/is-my-head-gasket-blown/ | 2022-09-26T08:29:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334855.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926082131-20220926112131-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.955428 | 1,890 | [

Talking Cultural Tourism In Hawaii: Bridging cultures, facing challenges, implementing best practices, sharing opportunities
In the past few months, AIANTA has had several opportunities to share our expertise on cultural heritage tourism with other industry leaders in the Aloha State. In September, AIANTA Board President Sherry L. Rupert and AIANTA Pacific Board Representative Pohai Ryan each presented on cultural tourism during the Global Tourism Summit in Honolulu; and this month AIANTA Executive Director Camille Ferguson discussed best practices and presented opportunities within AIANTA’s programs at the 11th Annual Business Fest in Maui.
During these presentations, AIANTA’s leadership was able to address best practices, unique challenges that Indian Country and Native businesses face in the tourism industry and the programs that AIANTA offers in our efforts to advance and support Native tourism throughout the United States.
The Global Tourism Summit, held September 19-21, 2017 in Honolulu, Hawaii, is a gathering of thought leaders from around the world who represent the global marketplace. This year’s event focused on bringing the world together to learn about new trends and celebrating diverse and innovative practices in tourism while also examining and reinforcing the importance of sustainability in Hawaii and elsewhere. The event also honored Hawaii’s history and legacy and its role in making Hawaii the world-class experience it is today.
During this event, AIANTA President Sherry L. Rupert spoke on a panel of other industry leaders about discovering some of the best examples of what Native people around the world are doing to elevate the economic status of their communities through tourism.
Ms. Rupert discussed Native American tourism, what makes a cultural tourism destination unique and highlighted some exceptional, award-winning Native destinations from throughout the United States. In her presentation, Ms. Rupert pointed out the authentic and distinctive locations, experiences and practices of award-winning destinations including Acoma Pueblo Sky City in New Mexico, Alaskan Dream Cruises, Chickasaw Country in Oklahoma and Icy Point Straight in Alaska.
During the same event, AIANTA Pacific Regional Board Representative Pohai Ryan had the opportunity to address the audience on cultural tourism in Hawaii. Ms. Ryan spoke on Hawaiian culture as the foundation of Hawaii tourism. The panel of speakers in this session spoke on how responsible governance and education help to sustain, enhance and improve tourism today.
The 2017 Global Tourism Summit serves as a platform for members of the local and international travel and tourism industries to collaborate on current industry trends, strategic alliances, and emerging opportunities.

FAQs: Nuclear reactors
The earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan focused attention on the Fukushima nuclear power plant in the northern region of the island nation. Explosions at the plant and the failure of the systems used to cool its reactors heightened the risk of a meltdown.
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) has made numerous assurances regarding the safety of plants in this country. It stressed that none of Canada's nuclear facilities are on or near fault lines capable of causing a major earthquake.
CNSC has said that if an earthquake or similar disaster happened here, Canadian nuclear plants would be safe because the pressurized heavy-water used at Candu reactors is effective at cooling the reactor core.
What does a nuclear reactor do?
Nuclear energy is produced through the splitting, or fission, of the uranium 235 (U-235) isotope. When a neutron hits a U-235 atom, it creates an unstable uranium isotope that divides and releases two other neutrons, as well as heat and various radioactive particles. The newly released neutrons then go on to bombard other U-235 atoms, setting off a chain reaction that continues until the uranium fuel is used up.
If the neutrons move too fast, they pass through the U-235 atoms without affecting them, so they must be slowed down with the help of a so-called moderator, such as water.
A reactor needs uranium, a moderator to slow fast-moving neutrons, a coolant to absorb heat released during the reaction, and a system for shielding radiation.
What sets apart a Candu reactor?
Only 0.7 per cent of naturally occurring uranium consists of the U-235 isotope — not enough to sustain a chain reaction. Reactors, then, either need to enrich the uranium to increase the proportion of the isotope or use a more effective moderator. Most reactors use enriched uranium, a more expensive process.
Candu reactors use heavy water (deuterium oxide) to improve the likelihood of a chain reaction. The hydrogen atom, as present in ordinary water, is almost exactly the same size as the fast-moving neutrons created by nuclear fission. When a neutron collides with hydrogen, it will lose almost all of its energy and slow down enough to facilitate the fission reaction.
However, a regular hydrogen atom can also absorb the neutron, decreasing the likelihood of fission, which is why Candu reactors use the hydrogen isotope deuterium, known as heavy water. Deuterium will not absorb the neutron, improving the chances of a chain reaction.
Heavy water is more expensive than ordinary water, but it allows the use of natural uranium as an energy source.
Candu reactors have been sold to nuclear plants in Romania, China and South Korea. The reactors in Japan are not Candu reactors.
How does a Candu reactor work?
The reactor is best thought of as a giant tank filled with heavy water and a series of half-metre-long fuel rods bundled into what are called fuel assemblies. The fuel rods are filled with pellets of uranium in the form of uranium dioxide.
The heat generated by the fission process is transferred to the heavy water and used to produce steam that powers a turbine connected to an electrical generator that feeds the energy grid.
In order to further control the fission process, solid cadmium rods that absorb unwanted neutrons are inserted into the reactor tank, perpendicular to the fuel assemblies. There are more of these control rods than necessary as a safety precaution.
The Candu reactor is surrounded by a thick wall designed to absorb dangerous radiation generated during the fission reaction. It consists of several nested layers made up of materials such as boron and cadmium, which act like neutron shields, as well as lead and concrete, which block gamma radiation.
How many reactors are in Fukushima?
There are six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant, all of which are boiled-water reactors. This means ordinary water is used to cool down the fuel rods, which contain enriched uranium. At the time of the earthquake on March 11, three reactors were operational.
International nuclear event scale
Developed in 1990 by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the INES is used to communicate the severity of a nuclear event to the public. Each mark in the scale indicates a severity 10 times greater than the one below it. Events ranked 1-3 are classified as "incidents" and those ranked 4-7 as "accidents."
- Serious incident
- Accident with local consequences
- Accident with wider consequences
- Serious accident
- Major accident
What is a meltdown?
Nuclear fission creates immense amounts of heat and radiation. Under normal circumstances, the reactor core is cooled by a moderator or coolant, usually water or heavy water (Candu only). To avoid catastrophe, nuclear plants always have at least one secondary source of coolant. A meltdown occurs when the nuclear fuel overheats and essentially melts, leaking radioactive material.
To protect the surrounding environment in the event of a meltdown, all reactors have a series of walls surrounding the core. Significant damage to these walls could allow radioactivity to leak out.
What is the threat of meltdown at Fukushima?
When the 9-magnitude earthquake hit off the eastern coast of Japan, all three operational reactors immediately shut down and activated their emergency generators in order to remove residual heat. An hour later, tsunami-triggered flood waters damaged and deactivated the generators, causing heat from the reactor cores to evaporate the coolant.
At one of the reactors, efforts to use sea water and boric acid to keep fuel rods covered failed, leaving the rods exposed and increasing the risk of meltdown.
Radioactive material has been detected in the air and water surrounding the plant, and the Japanese government has issued evacuation orders for those living within 20 kilometres of the plant and told those within 30 kilometres to remain inside with doors and windows sealed. They have also distributed potassium-iodide tablets, which reduce or prevent the absorption of radioiodine, a byproduct of nuclear fission.
Japanese officials upgraded the international nuclear event scale rating, which gives an idea of the extent of radiation, for some parts of the plant from 4 to 5 on Friday, indicating an accident with wider consequences. Other parts of the plant were rated a 3, indicating a "serious incident."
What happened at Chornobyl?
A major accident is denoted with a ranking of 7 on the international nuclear event scale. The only incident to warrant this ranking was the 1986 disaster at the Chornobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine, which was assigned a ranking retroactively when the INES system was created.
An accidental power surge in a reactor at Chornobyl caused a severe meltdown. Chornobyl’s reactors were of a type known as RBMK (a Russian acronym) and used graphite as the reaction moderator.
The power surge, which occurred during a systems test, caused a series of explosions that damaged the reactor facility, leading to a leak of the graphite moderator. The graphite then ignited, resulting in a massive fire and subsequent plume of radioactive fallout, 60 per cent of which landed in nearby Belarus. The meltdown was directly responsible for killing 31 people while the fallout led the then Soviet government to relocate nearly 350,000 people and caused incidents of radiation-related illnesses in areas as far away as Berlin and Turkey. | <urn:uuid:309e1c23-5994-4b2e-b6ae-5ed26c21ac1d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/faqs-nuclear-reactors-1.1003519 | 2022-09-29T01:51:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335303.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20220929003121-20220929033121-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.94958 | 1,523 | [

Chlamydia Symptoms With Pictures
Chlamydia has been a global problem for most of the population for many years now. Its an extremely prevalent bacterial infection that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Its so common that the number of infected is estimated at 2.86 million people every year. This sexually transmitted infection is present in 2.7% of men and 4.2% women globally. In other words, 1 in every 20 females who are sexually active have chlamydia. Around two-thirds of those infected, both females and males, are 15 to 24 years old with a higher prevalence rate in females. In 2015, this infection caused around 200 deaths. Its a serious infection that is overlooked due to its often asymptomatic nature. But, if the infection is diagnosed and recognized on time, it can help those infected avoid serious health complications. Here we will focus on how to spot the symptoms of chlamydia, what can happen if a person leaves those symptoms untreated, and how do these symptoms actually look like. This is our detailed analysis of chlamydia symptoms that can be useful for those seeking to steer clear from sexually transmitted infections.
What Happens If Chlamydia Is Left Untreated
- reduced fertility
- reactive arthritis
- an infection of the testicles and epididymis
- pelvic inflammatory disease which can cause pain, infertility and increase the risk of having ectopic pregnancies
- reactive arthritis
- pregnancy complications like miscarriages, premature births and stillbirths
What Antibiotics Do You Get For Chlamydia
Chlamydia is one of the most common STDs. It can be treated easily if caught early. Some of the most recommended antibiotics used to treat chlamydia are azithromycin and doxycycline. Azithromycin is typically given as 2 tablets one time while doxycycline is given as 2 capsules a day for 7 days. These antibiotics are most effective if both partners have received treatment and have taken their prescription as directed.

Chlamydia Is A Serious Infection
Chlamydia is Americas most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection. Every year, an estimated 2.86 million infections occur. Since its so common, you may assume that its no big deal. However, chlamydia can be a very serious infection.
Chlamydia is very common, but that doesnt mean it cant have a serious impact on your health. The infection can cause a number of long-term complications. In up to 15 percent of women with untreated chlamydia, the infection spreads to the uterus and uterine tubes, leading to symptomatic pelvic inflammatory disease. In addition, some women experience subclinical inflammation of the upper genital tract. This can cause permanent damage to the affected tissues.
What Happens If Chlamydia Isn`t Treated
Not all people with Chlamydia will experience any complications. If the infection gets treatment early, it won`t probably cause any long-term damages. Still, with no treatment Chlamydia will spread to other body parts. The more times you get infected with it, the more like it is for you to experience complications.
- In men this condition may lead to an infection of the testicles and maybe even infertility.
- In women this infection may lead to inflammation and pain around the liver. With proper treatment, this usually gets better in time.
- In women this medical condition may spread to other important body organs leading to PID. In turn, this may lead to long-term damages, such as ectopic pregnancy, pelvic pain, infertility and blocked fallopian tubes.
- In both man and women More rarely, this infection may lead to joint inflammation. This is also known as SARA and it`s on occasion accompanied by eye and urethral inflammation. It occurs more rarely in women than men.

Whats The Treatment For Chlamydia
Chlamydia is usually easy to get rid of. Your nurse or doctor will get you antibiotics to treat the infection. Sometimes you only have to take one dose of medication. Another chlamydia treatment lasts for 7 days. Your doctor will help you figure out which treatment is best for you.
If youre treated for chlamydia, its really important for your sexual partners to get treated also. Otherwise, you can keep passing the infection back and forth, or to other people. Sometimes your doctor will give you medicine for both you and your partner.
How Will I Know If I Have Chlamydia
You can only be certain you have chlamydia if you have a test.
Anyone can get chlamydia. Youre more likely to have it if youre under 25, have a new sexual partner, or more than one sexual partner in the last year, and if you havent used condoms.
You should have a test if:
- you, or a partner, have or think you might have symptoms
- youve recently had sex without a condom with a new partner
- you, or a partner, have had sex without a condom with other partners
- during a vaginal examination, your doctor or nurse says that the cervix is inflamed and/or theres an unusual discharge
- a sexual partner tells you they have a sexually transmitted infection
- you have another STI.
If you live in England, and youre a woman who is under 25 and sexually active, its recommended that you have a chlamydia test when you change sexual partner and once a year.
If youre a man who is under 25 and sexually active, its recommended that you have a chlamydia test once a year if you are not using condoms with new or casual partners.
You could still have chlamydia even if a partner has tested negative. The only way to make sure you dont have chlamydia is to get tested yourself.
If you have chlamydia, youll be encouraged to be tested for other STIs as you can have more than one STI at the same time.

What Happens If I Get Chlamydia When I’m Pregnant
- Chlamydia during pregnancy has been associated in very rare cases with problems such as premature birth, and infection of the uterus lining after the birth.
- It can be passed to the baby during the birth and before the baby is born. This can cause inflammation and discharge in the babys eye and/or pneumonia.
- You may be offered a chlamydia test as part of your antenatal care.
- Chlamydia can be treated with antibiotics when youre pregnant and when youre breastfeeding. The antibiotics wont harm the baby, but do tell the doctor or nurse that youre pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Youll be advised to have another test after you complete your treatment.
Can I Still Pass On Chlamydia During Treatment
Yes, you can still pass on chlamydia even if you are being treated this is because the treatment has not killed off enough of the bacteria to make you non-contagious.
It is not advisable to have sex, even with a condom, until you finish your treatment. If your partner also has chlamydia, you should not have sex until you have both finished the treatment. Otherwise, you risk catching/passing on the infection again.
All sexual contact including with a condom should be avoided during treatment.

Put Sex On Hold During And After Chlamydia Treatment
If you were given a single dose of antibiotics to treat your chlamydia, you should not have any kind of sex for a full seven days after the day you took the medicine. If youre taking antibiotics for a week, wait another seven days after the last day of your treatment. Be sure to take all of the medicine that is prescribed for you.
Not having sex for seven days after treatment is important so you dont spread the infection to your partner or partners.
Medication stops the infection and can keep you from spreading the disease, but it wont cure any permanent damage that the infection caused before you started treatment. In women, such damage can include blocking the fallopian tubes, causing infertility.
If you still have symptoms for more than a few days after you stop taking your medicine, go back to see your doctor or other healthcare provider so they can check you again.
How Can I Treat Chlamydia Without Going To The Doctor

The Rapporteur of the Council of Europe’s Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) on the Execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, Klaas de Vries (Netherlands, SOC), today comment on a bill currently debated in the Bulgarian Parliament providing, inter alia, for the possibility to terminate criminal investigations if they lasted more than two years:
“The execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights does not require the introduction of domestic remedies allowing impunity. Persons responsible for murder, torture or slavery must not be allowed to get away with their crimes on the pretext that the criminal proceedings against have been too long”, Mr. de Vries said. “A remedy allowing for impunity in cases of violations of Articles 2, 3 and 4 of the Convention is certainly not required by the Court”, he added.
The bill passed a first reading in the Bulgarian parliament on 17 July 2013. It was justified by the obligation to guarantee the right to a trial within a reasonable time. Some provisions of this draft bill raise serious problems as regards the obligation to identify and punish persons responsible for violations of the rights protected by Art. 2, 3 and 4 of the Convention. | <urn:uuid:b5e465d8-c1f7-4036-9101-e7b4fe549713> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://pace.coe.int/en/news/4593/execution-of-the-judgments-of-the-european-court-does-not-require-the-introduction-of-domestic-remedies-allowing-impunity- | 2022-10-03T02:40:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337371.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003003804-20221003033804-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.940098 | 247 | [

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990 to give civil rights protections to those with disabilities. If you have suffered an injury that has resulted in a disability, you may be able to collect compensation from Social Security.
Social Security taxes (FICA) are withheld from your paycheck when you work. You are only eligible for Disability Insurance Benefits if you have paid a certain amount of Social Security tax over a specific period of time. For an individual over 30 years of age to be insured for Disability Insurance Benefits, the person must have paid FICA in no less than twenty calendar quarters during the forty calendar quarters just prior to the time your total disability began. That means that you must have worked and paid Social Security tax for five out of the last ten years before you became totally disabled. Worker's who become disabled before age 31 need fewer quarters.
An individual must prove that he or she became disabled while disability insurance coverage was in force or that person is not entitled to Disability Insurance Benefits, even if the medical condition is very serious.
If you feel that you qualify for this benefit or if you are not sure if you qualify and would like assistance contact our disability lawyers today for a free case evaluation. | <urn:uuid:ab29c5dc-6bd4-43a5-aac3-7a281ce21ea0> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.carabinshaw.com/social-security-disability.html | 2022-10-03T01:39:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337371.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003003804-20221003033804-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.957566 | 355 | [

- Name, please!
Hey there, I’m Rebecca Laffar-Smith. I’m a Y.A. Sci-Fi & Fantasy Author.
- We’ll skip the “tell us about yourself” because coming up with something on the spot is, truly, the bane of an author’s existence. So, let’s start with something a little easier! Tell me what you’re working on at the moment.
Right now, I’m working on two books. The first is a Y.A. Fantasy that I’m cowriting with my daughter about a dragon-winged girl who must venture into the land of dreams to save her sister from a sleeping sickness that is ravaging her people. The other is book two in my Shadows of Nar Y.A. Dystopian Sci-Fi series. In this book, they venture to another world where advanced medicine has cured all illness and babies are born genetically perfect or are terminated. They get caught up in an uprising of the divergana who believe it shouldn’t be a crime punishable by death to be born different.
- In as much detail as you would like, tell me about your book(s) that are already out/on the way.
I have three Y.A. titles out in the world. My debut, The Flight of Torque, is about a young woman kidnapped by snake worshippers who, despite her guardian angel’s attempts to save her, is transformed into a serpenthrope, a snake-shifter.
My second Y.A. book, City of Light, is a Dystopian Sci-Fi. After two-hundred years the ship sent out into the Universe to find a cure is finally returning. Aboard are two sisters, genetic clones (mostly) of the former captain and his brother. They’re determined to fulfil the original mission, but not everyone on Nar wants to be saved.
And my new release, Spirit Talker, is a Y.A. Contemporary with a supernatural kicker. After the death of her mother, Sara begins to see things, impossible things, dead things. She’s diagnosed with schizophrenia but starts to wonder if what she’s seeing is real. It’s a coming-of-age story that deals in mental illness, grief, depression, friendship, hope, and learning to trust yourself.
- As far as the writing process goes—including such things as conception of idea all the way through to money in the bank—what is the least favourite bit? (Everyone has one!)
Ironically, the writing part. lol I’m a huge fan of brainstorming and ideas and story outlines. I love Plot Storming my books and fleshing out my characters and getting to know my story worlds. I’ve also been an editor for so many years that I find that part of the process natural and fun. I might be an oddity in that regard, but I love having the raw work to shape into something truly beautiful. And I love connecting with readers and sharing my books with the world. It’s just that middle bit, getting that first draft down on the page that’s hard. I’m constantly plagued by doubts and anxiety during that stage. I’m always afraid I can never do the idea justice. So yes, the writing is my least favourite because it feels the most challenging.
- Conversely, what is the bit of the writing process that gets your writery brain grinning?
Outlines! It’s the part I love helping other authors with too. I love seeing the shape of stories in the things I read and the things I watch. I love deconstructing great structure in stories, or seeing the way people put their own unique twist on the way stories have been told for millennia. And developing that story arc, finding the parts that make the story sing, and exploring who a character is and who they need to become over the course of the story is so much fun.
- If you could steal any author’s ability to improve your own work, who would you steal from and why? (e.g. Tolkien’s language skills, Douglas Adams’ humour, etc.)
Wow, this is actually a really difficult question. There are so many authors I admire and who have done fantastic things with their writing over the centuries. Honestly, although I admire Tolkien’s ability to create whole languages, it’s his world building and the simplicity of complicated characters I admire him for even more. It’s not given as much credit because the languages is something he uniquely did that no one else was doing at the time. I know I’d love to be able to incorporate more humour but it doesn’t come naturally to me and I think it’s important to lean into your strengths rather than try to shore up your weaknesses. For me, I’m a lover of words so I’ve been influenced by the works of Roald Dahl, Dr Seuss, even Shakespeare who all invented words and did unique things with language.
- Now for some fun! The main character of the book you’re working on (or have recently finished) has kidnapped you for ruining their life. How will you explain that what you’re doing is for the best?
By the end of Spirit Talker, I think Sara understands the whole point of it. But earlier in the book I imagine she’d want to rant and rave at me about how unfair it all is. Why would I torment her by making her crazy like this? Why would I put her through so much pain? And because she cares about others and Will’s experience is possibly even worse than her own, she’d be angry about that too. How could I do that to him, or to Grae, or to Bobby. But I’d have to tell her that facing the most challenging things our life throws at us is how we grow into who we are meant to become. Her pain, Will’s pain, it’s part of discovering their gifts. For Sara, losing her mother and developing an ability to see spirit gives her an incredible capacity to help people on both sides of the veil. I like to think the books I write help people want to live into ultimate possibility. The universe is infinite and expanding but we exist in our human condition, making the most of the life we’ve been given. The whole point is to live your best life and through doing that make a positive change in the lives of those around you. So yes, I put my characters through hell, because it challenges them to step up into who they are meant to become. Life does that. And sharing that raw, honest experience with readers gives them the opportunity to do it too.
- You, your main character(s), and the protagonist of the last book you read are playing poker. What are the stakes? Who will win and why?
This might be a little unfair because the last book I read was a series of contemporary romances where the guys were all expert spies and the women were all extremely brilliant professionals in their own various careers whereas Sara is a normal teenager who loves art and roller skating and spending time at the beach. She hasn’t really had a chance to play poker with any real stakes. In fact, I don’t imagine it’s even something she plays with her family. Her dad would be more into Cluedo. Although, I’d like to think maybe the Norcross Security Agency would play for the right to add her skillset to their team. It would be cool to add a paranormal investigator to the crew and although she’s still just a teen she might be that someday. Trouble is, the deck is stacked in their favour because not only would they likely be deeply familiar with the game, they’re masters at schooling their features and lying convincingly. Thankfully, they’d make sure to make their win something that benefits Sara and her family too.
- Let’s face it, writing is hard. What do you think are some traps to avoid in your particular area of expertise? (Whether that be your genre, your knowledge of plot, your character building, your world building, etc.)
Because I’m a huge advocate of outlining I tend to be biased here in saying that planning your book in advance can help avoid plot holes and tangents and blank page syndrome. For me, facing a blank page and writing into the void is a pit of anxiety. And I avoid it by planning every scene before I begin. But it’s a two-edged sword because it can lead to the trap of feeling locked into the plan, so it’s important to remain flexible. No matter how meticulously you plan a story it will always deviate, and you need to be able to roll with it and change the plan when it’s no longer working for you.
- Anything else you’d like to add? Plots to take over the world, for example. Upcoming release dates, links and things, maybe even your favourite chocolate cake recipe.
Actually, since you’ve given me room for my plan for world domination, I’d love to share my TEDx Talk. I’m driven, both in my fiction and my public speaking, to help people face their darkness and find their strength. Be that in dealing with mental illness or neurodivergence, or just facing the tough battles life throws at us. I hope my fiction gives people a place of light to explore strength through adversity. And I hope this talk does that too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1zclgFC99g | <urn:uuid:647eef0c-01a2-45bd-a455-19e156bb58d5> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://quillandpen.com/2022/05/02/author-interview-rebecca-laffar-smith/ | 2022-10-04T09:43:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337490.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20221004085909-20221004115909-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.967134 | 2,045 | [

Processed wood and non-combustible wood add value and a competitive edge
Hosoda Wood Industries has focused not only on providing wood but also on adding value. The ability to process and paint with moldings and NC routers is an advantage that no other timber company has.
The company also started handling non-combustible wood in 2017. The non-combustible wood is injected with chemicals that are designed to withstand 20 minutes of direct contact to flames without the fire spreading and also meets the Buildings Standards’ Act. The fact that the company was able to overcome wood’s weakness against fire is substantial.
Constant development of new products to spread the use of wood ever further
The company started processing timber from the Tama area 4 years ago. “Square Woods Tama” is a wood tile that was developed using remnants and scraps that are difficult to handle as building materials. There is also “Kiesugi-kun”, a wooden whiteboard with special processing that allows users to write and erase ink as they please. As a result of Hosoda Wood Industry’s novel innovations, timber from the Tama area has been increasingly used. | <urn:uuid:eaf80a97-c8fd-4b26-b88d-8259afb344eb> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://en.kotobrand.jp/manufacturer/hosodawood/ | 2022-10-05T17:42:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337663.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005172112-20221005202112-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.963042 | 243 | [

Let’s face it – your game night sucks. It doesn’t suck, you say? Let me guess… you guys pig out on cheetos and bad pizza and get grease and cheeto dust all over the pieces while you drink whatever was cheap that week. Yeah, your game night sucks. Allow me to present a better option.
There are a few key tricks to running a successful beer tasting. Good glassware is a huge one. Ditch the plastic cups, and have some good glasses on hand. Either have a variety of nice logo ones, or plain, but for crying out loud don’t just go to Target and grab the four pack of Corona glasses. They don’t have to be expensive or fancy, but if it looks cheap, it will feel cheap (both IKEA and Target have very inexpensive, logoless glasses that are perfect). If you have any good breweries in the area, or have visited some and have glasses from them, even better. Bonus points if they are all in the freezer before hand.
Plan your game well – either a game that plays quickly, that you can play a few times (Catan is pretty great, in my opinion) or a longer game that you can have a couple breaks in the middle of (D&D or other RPGs, an apocalypse game of 40k with 4+ players, that sort of thing). The more you – the host – have set up in advance, the better everyone’s night will be. Sending out invitations with instructions and rules on them is totally optional, but if you’re doing a special game day instead of a regular one it can be fun.
Now, the actual tasting: instruct everyone to bring a six pack of their favorite beer. ‘Favorite’ is key here; this isn’t where you need to show off how much of a beer snob you are. Bring your favorite beer and don’t judge anyone else for what their favorite is. Don’t just drink it, instead serve it in flights. Pour glasses of the same beer for everyone, and have whomever brought what is being served tell why they like it. If they have a good story to go with it, even better. Plan the breaks in the game, either at a convenient turn or time depending on the game, and serve the next flight of beer.
A word of caution: this isn’t about getting drunk. Enjoy the drinks, the games and the company. Don’t suck the beer down and move to the next. Everyone will have a better time that way.
Happy gaming (and drinking!). | <urn:uuid:3ba98e8b-e4de-480e-9e52-c9bb5724a321> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://thenerderypublic.com/game-night-beer-tastings/ | 2022-10-05T18:01:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337663.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005172112-20221005202112-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.955589 | 546 | [

Garbage collection and disposal remains to be a conspicuously absent undertaking in everyone’s list of favorite domestic chores. Whether you like it or not, garbage collection must be handled well because almost everything has to do with garbage. Poor handling of garbage can expose you and your family members to all types of diseases.
Garbage can also cause environmental pollution and many other adversities. The best way to deal with these adversities is by proper garbage collection and disposal. In regards to garbage collection and disposal, there is a new and effective way of dealing with all forms of garbage. Thanks to the introduction of a skip bin in society. Now you do not have to get dirty or struggle with garbage collection.
All you need to do is to hire a skip bin for disposing of your garbage. Several companies offer skip bins for hire. Choosing the best company take a lot since you need to have the best services. Knowing the qualities of a good skip bin company will help you to make a wise decision.
A good skip bin company should be committed to keeping the environment clean. Therefore, they will always offer a skip bin that is well designed to protect the environment from noxious garbage. The company’s workers must be able to show some level of commitment to keeping the environment clean. The company should also be committed to educating their clients on how to use the ski bins properly for a well-conserved environment.
A good skip bin company must be licensed. In fact, running a skip bin company need one to register it and the only document that shows they are operating legally is the license. Therefore, make sure you check on the company’s license document and consider if it is valid or not. Basically, a good skip bin hire company must obtain permits on behalf of the customers.
Skip Bin Sizes
A good skip bin hire company must have a variety of skip bin sizes. This is a very essential factor because every customer has their unique preference of skip bin and as well disposal needs. Therefore, consult with the company to know the kind of skip bin they have before making your final move. Ultimately, a good company must have ideal sizes for their different customers.
A good skip bin hire company should have a reliable customer support plan. They should be always ready to help you when you have problems with their skip bin. Therefore, consider the company’s customer service system before hiring a skip bin. | <urn:uuid:9c368fa3-264e-4eeb-86d7-d3a6a7d59ad2> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://www.restore-earth.org/qualities-of-a-good-skip-bin-company/ | 2022-10-07T01:44:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337906.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007014029-20221007044029-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.95391 | 503 | [

Ripon College professor wins mathematics award
RIPON - Andrea Young, assistant professor of mathematical sciences, has won the Wisconsin Mathematical Association of America’s 2016 Distinguished Teaching Award.
The award will be presented at the annual section meeting April 22-23 at the UW-La Crosse.
The Wisconsin Section Distinguished Teaching Award was established in 1991 to emphasize the high importance that colleges and universities in Wisconsin place on teaching mathematics. Winning nominees must display extraordinary success in teaching mathematics. At most, one award is given per year. Young is the 20th recipient in the 25-year history of the award, and the first from Ripon College.
Young, who is in her fifth year as a member of the Mathematical Sciences Department, teaches a variety of courses at all levels. According to the nomination statement by Ripon College Associate Professor of Mathematics McKenzie Lamb, “The Mathematical Sciences Department is moving away from lecture and toward more student-centered approaches, and Andrea is leading this change.”
Young uses active learning approaches such as flipped classrooms and inquiry-based learning to promote student engagement with the mathematical material. Lamb’s nomination statement goes on to say: “Since she arrived at Ripon, Andrea has worked with great energy and enthusiasm to promote student interest and participation in mathematics events.”
“Andrea Young exemplifies the Ripon College commitment to innovative teaching,” says Ed Wingenbach, vice president and dean of faculty. “Her example in the classroom, where she experiments fearlessly and successfully, her enthusiastic advocacy for imagining new possibilities for the college curriculum, and her widely shared publications on mathematics pedagogy have made her a leader on our campus and beyond. I am proud of her accomplishments and celebrate her enthusiasm for undergraduate education.”
“I am very honored to receive this recognition,” Young says. “My students and colleagues at Ripon College have been so supportive of my development as a teacher. This award is indicative of the commitment of our community to quality, innovative pedagogy.” | <urn:uuid:e736e426-2ff8-462e-9228-9ff071d5271c> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.fdlreporter.com/story/news/local/action-advertiser/sunday-west/2016/04/15/ripon-college-professor-wins-mathematics-award/82942262/ | 2022-10-07T02:24:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337906.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007014029-20221007044029-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.954408 | 426 | [

I would higly recommend watching this guide. It is an old guide but I think there weren't significant changes if any.
The command panther skin is made like every other skin the only difference is that the skin is then forced on the command panther entity file in the attribute editor.
Can you reference mod skins in tuning packs like custom icons?
I've read conflicting information so not sure on it. You mentioned here https://www.coh2.org/topic/94047/custom-vehicle-skin-in-tuning-pack
that it can be done, but how would you include this in your own tuning pack?
I have custom icons in data\ui, but would I need to include the skins in data\art ?
edit: seems like this tutorial implies that you can as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y43EGd2vHSE
but when he creates a skin pack how would that be used in the tuning pack? Im assuming there is some syntax for ModSkins_skinID_summer _winter etc. | <urn:uuid:9b293886-edec-42f2-b712-6e68335864dc> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.coh2.org/user/21374/artigo?Post_page=4 | 2022-09-26T12:38:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334871.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926113251-20220926143251-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.94754 | 228 | [

In October 2018 I wrote about making a documentary on George Orwell’s first wife Eileen O’Shaughnessy. The short film had a real local interest as Eileen was born just two minutes from where I live.
Little did I know when I started the search in 2012 that the film would be shown to the Orwell Society and Richard Blair, son of George Orwell, on the Isle of Jura where Orwell wrote the dystopian classic, Nineteen Eighty Four.
Timeline research 2012-13:
In a graveyard in Newcastle you will find a headstone for Eileen Maud Blair who was married to George Orwell (real name Eric Blair), arguably one of the most controversial writer’s of the 20th century. Books included The Road to Wigan Pier (1937), Homage to Catalonia (1938), Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty Four (1949).
But who was Eileen?
Eileen’s story starts in Ireland where her father, Laurence O’Shaughnessey, was born in 1866 on the small island of Valencia and Portmagee in County Kerry. His father, Edward O’Shaughnessy was employed in the Royal Irish Constabulary. Aged 25, Laurence moved to England and boarded at 19 East India Dock Road, Limehouse in London and found work as a clerk for His Majesty Customs.
Eileen’s mother Mary Westgate was born in 1866 in Hempnall, Norfolk, at 24, Mary moved south to Greenwich in London and worked as an Assistant Teacher at Lewisham Hill Road School.
Laurence and Mary met and eventually married in Holy Trinity Church, Gravesend, Kent in February 1900. The couple then travelled to the North East and made a home at 109 Cleveland Road next to the Union Workhouse in Sunderland.
Laurence continued working as a Tax Clerk for HM Customs at Custom House, based at 138 High Street, Sunderland. In 1901 they had a son Laurence who went on to become a distinguished Medical Surgeon.
Six years later the family moved to 3 Park Terrace (re-named Lawe Road) South Shields and Laurence senior was employed as Port Administrator, Collector of His Majesties Customs and had an office in Midland Bank Chambers, 65 King Street, South Shields.
Then on 25th September 1905, Eileen Maud O’Shaughnessey was born and baptised on 15th November in St Aiden’s Church.
After a short time the family moved to 2 and a half Wellington Terrace, now known as Beach Road. They called the house ‘Westgate House’ after her mother’s maiden name and it’s still visible above the front door of 35 Beach Road.
Eileen was educated at the local Westoe School then attended Sunderland Church High School and finally in 1924 the family moved south when Eileen graduated to read English at St Hugh’s College in Oxford. Sadly, Eileen’s father Laurence died not long after, he was 62 years old.
After leaving education Eileen held various jobs including work as an English teacher and purchased a small secretarial agency. But she returned to education in 1934 for a Masters degree in Educational Psychology at the University College in London.
By 1935 Eileen was a graduate student and living with her widowed mother in Greenwich. One night she was invited to a house party at 77 Parliament Hill in Hampstead where she met the journalist and author George Orwell, real name Eric Blair.
Eric was born on 25th June 1903 in India. The Blair family had returned to the UK, settled in Oxfordshire and Eric received a scholarship to Eton College.
Over the months the couple found they had a great deal in common, a passion for poetry, literature and countryside walks. Eric was attracted to Eileen’s blue eye’s, heart shaped face and wavy dark brown hair, her Irish looking features. They married at Wallington Parish Church in Hertfordshire on the 9th June 1936 and lived at The Stores, 2 Kits Lane, Wallington.
In Europe, a Civil war had broken out in Spain and in 1936 Eileen’s husband travelled to Barcelona and joined the militia of the Workers Party of Marxist Unification. Orwell wanted to help the revolt against Franco and the Fascists. Eileen followed in early ‘37 where she stayed in the Hotel Continental on the Ramblas in Barcelona. She worked as a secretary for the ‘New Leader’ which was a newspaper for the Independent Labour Party.
The party’s General Secretary was John McNair from Tyneside. Orwell was stationed at the front and in battle was shot through the throat. He recuperated in a sanatorium outside Barcelona.
The couple returned to the UK and by 1939 Eileen worked at the Censorship Department of the Ministry of Information. For a time they lived with her brother Laurence and her sister in law Gwen, at their home in Greenwich Park.
Orwell worked at the Empire Department of the BBC as head of cultural programming for India and South East Asia. Unfortunately during the Second World War Eileen’s brother was killed at Dunkirk while serving in the Army Medical Corp, and her mother died a year later – this was a very sad time for Eileen.
But good news was on the way as Eileen and George adopted a baby boy and named him Richard. Eileen by now had given up her job at the Ministry and taken well to motherhood. Orwell began writing ‘Animal Farm’.
Growing tired of London and feeling unwell for the last few months, Eileen travelled back to the North East with their son, Richard. They stayed with her sister-in-law Gwen at her home near Stockton and with the Second World War nearing it’s end Orwell was in Germany working as a War Correspondent.
Harvey Evers was a surgeon friend of her brother Laurence, he had a private clinic at Fernwood House in Newcastle a train ride away from where she was staying. Eileen made an appointment to see him but after the examination tumours were found on her uterus and a hysterectomy operation was arranged for 29th March 1945.
Before the operation Eileen was aware that she might not survive, and wrote long letters to Orwell. Sadly, under the anaesthetic Eileen died. Aged only 39, Eileen was buried on 3rd April in St Andrews Cemetery, Newcastle.
With Eileen’s death a deep sense of loneliness overwhelmed Orwell. He put off a return to the family home and went back to Germany to report on the end of the Second World War. Close friends looked after his son Richard at their flat in Canonbury Square, London.
His novel, ‘Animal Farm’ was published in the summer and in it he credited Eileen with helping to plan the book. In May 1946 Orwell rented Barnhill, a farmhouse on the remote island of Jura in Scotland and wrote Nineteen Eighty Four, the book was published in 1949.
Sadly on 21st January 1950 George Orwell died of tuberculosis in London aged 46. He is buried in the churchyard of All Saints in Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire.

Studies are showing that olive oil is beneficial for many aspects of our health.
Olive oil can help strengthen the heart, support normal blood pressure and blood sugar levels, and can calm inflammation.
The oil assists with good sleep, supports the brain, and may prevent strokes. Stiff joints and arthritis can also be relieved with olive oil, especially when combined with fish oil (per Healthline.com).
Regarding olive oil for sleep, a recent study appeared in a journal that writes about the health of older people. This study included 1,639 people and found that eating a Mediterranean type diet improves the quality of sleep in older adults. The Mediterranean diet includes foods such as fruit, vegetables, olive oil, fish, nuts, seeds and whole grains.
Olive oil is a key component of this way of eating – a tradition that has developed in the European countries that surround the Mediterranean Sea.
Those in the study that didn’t adhere to the Mediterranean diet as well, had poorer sleep quality. The adults in the study that followed the diet more closely reaped the following benefits: More sound sleep through the night, falling asleep more quickly, feeling well rested when they woke up and during the day, and they were happy about the amount of sleep they got overall.
Olive oil has also been proven to help bone strength. According to the International Osteoporosis Foundation: “Osteoporosis and low bone mass are currently estimated to be a major public health threat for almost 44 million women and men aged 50 and older in the USA.”
A recent study from the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health has discovered that olives, olive oil and their potent plant nutrients called “polyphenols”, have a high potential for strengthening bones and preventing osteoporosis. Human research shows that daily consumption of olive oil can prevent a decline in bone mineral density.
Some good ways to eat olive oil is to use it in salad dressings and on vegetables, rub it on meat and fish before cooking to keep it moist, use it instead of butter in sauces and gravies, spread it on fresh bread, and saute or cook food with it.

Olive oil for sleep?
Regarding olive oil for sleep, a recent study of 1,639 people found that eating a Mediterranean type diet high in olive oil improves the quality of sleep. This diet includes foods such as fruit, vegetables, olive oil, fish, nuts, seeds and whole grains. The people in the study who ate this way were able to fall asleep faster, sleep longer and wake up refreshed.

Millions of people worldwide would like to have stronger, longer, more brilliant looking hair and nails. There are very few nutritional supplements supported by research studies showing they help hair growth and nail strength, but MSM for hair growth is one of them.
According to the book “The Miracle of MSM” by doctors Jacob and Lawrence, “MSM is one-third sulfur and sulfur has the reputation for being nature’s ‘beauty mineral’ for keeping the hair healthy and the complexion youthful.”
MSM sulfur (methyl-sulphonyl-methane) is a white, odorless, water-soluble element found in nature and in foods such as milk, fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and meat. It is especially high in eggs, onions, garlic, asparagus and broccoli. Sulfur has a long tradition of healing and throughout history, doctors have prescribed mineral hot springs rich in sulfur to their ill patients. Food processing methods such as heating, washing and freezing, all deplete MSM in foods, making daily replenishment beneficial.
While MSM is best known for its arthritis and pain relieving benefits, it also helps to form keratin, which is the main protein found in hair, nails and skin. The ‘beauty mineral’ study was published in Total Health Magazine and was named: “MSM – Increased Hair Growth, Nail Length and Nail Thickness”. It was conducted by Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D.
Dr. Lawrence says: “We completed a placebo-controlled trial over the course of six weeks showing that 100 percent of the subjects on MSM had increased hair growth, compared to the group on placebo. 30 percent of the subjects on MSM showed improvement in hair brilliance, while none of the subjects on placebo showed such an improvement.”
The hair trial involved a total of 21 patients; 16 women and 5 men. Data was collected by certified cosmetologists under the doctor’s direction. The trial measurements included hair length, brilliance, and diameter of the individual hair shafts using industry standard measurement scales. All subjects that supplemented with MSM were impressed with the changes in the health and appearance of their hair. The cosmetologists could literally see which participants had taken MSM for hair growth by the appearance of their hair alone after six weeks of use.
A second placebo-controlled trial, conducted simultaneously, showed that 50 percent of the subjects on MSM showed increased their nail length, nail strength, and nail thickness compared to the group on placebo. Dr. Lawrence says: ”Based on the results of the two trials, we concluded that oral supplementation with MSM is a valuable addition to hair and nail growth. Hair and nail health was significantly improved in a short term of six weeks.”
One example of a natural remedy that contains all the benefits of MSM is Joints and More from Nutrition Breakthroughs. Joints and More is made from “organic” sulfur (meaning coming from living things) and is a 99% pure, simple molecule, indistinguishable from a molecule of MSM found in nature.
Stanley Jacob, M.D. the co-discoverer and ‘Father of MSM’ says: “MSM is a surprising supplement. When you start taking it, you may notice a number of good things happening in your life in addition to natural pain relief, natural joint relief, and allergy relief – such as more energy, cosmetic benefits such as softer skin, thicker hair and stronger nails; as well as decreased scar tissue and relief of constipation.”
Yes it can. The ‘beauty mineral’ study was published in Total Health Magazine and was named: “MSM – Increased Hair Growth, Nail Length and Nail Thickness”. It was conducted by Ronald M. Lawrence, M.D. At the end of six weeks of use, the cosmetologists could literally see which participants had taken MSM for hair growth by the appearance of their hair alone.
MSM for hair growth how much to take?
Stanley M. Jacob, M.D. says “It’s best to take MSM during or after meals. Over the years, thousands of patients have experienced healing benefits by taking 2,000 to 8,000 milligrams of MSM a day.” (This would be 2 to 8 capsules containing 1,000 mg. each). Start slowly by taking 1 capsule per day and increase as your tolerance allows. If you overdo it, you may develop stomach discomfort or more frequent, looser stools. Just cut back if this happens. Avoid taking MSM in the evening as it can increase one’s energy.
Surprise: One natural remedy proven in a research study to relieve hot flashes may be unexpected to some, as it is such a well-known, widely used vitamin with many benefits. It’s the famous vitamin C.
The study was called “Non-Hormonal Control of Vaso-Motor Flushing in Menopausal Patients”, published in the journal: “Chicago Medicine.” Vasomotor refers to the nerves and muscles causing blood vessels to constrict (narrow) or dilate (open). Blood vessels dilate during hot flashes — this process is the body’s way to release the heat. Extensive research indicates that vitamin C strengthens blood vessel membranes, eases hot flashes and helps slow the overall aging process.
In the vitamin C study, A total of 94 patients were studied, all of who had reached menopause. They were given 200 milligrams of vitamin C and 200 milligrams of bioflavonoids (the substance contained on the inside of orange peels) six times daily. Therefore each subject received 1200 mg of both the bioflavonoids and vitamin C each day. The results were that 67% of the subjects reported complete relief from hot flashes and 21% reported partial relief, giving this combination an overall 88% success rate.
Vitamin C is also proven to be a “Beauty Vitamin.” In support of vitamin C as an anti wrinkle nutrient, a study from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition announced the results of researchers from the United Kingdom. They discovered that higher vitamin C intakes were associated with a lower likelihood of a wrinkled skin appearance and skin dryness. Vitamin C majorly improved overall skin appearance in a study of 4,025 women aged 40 to 74.
Mineral deficiency can also be a factor in contributing to menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. The pioneering nutritionist Adelle Davis writes of this in her book “Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit”.
Davis says, “The amount of calcium in a woman’s blood parallels the activity of the ovaries. During the menopause, the lack of ovarian hormones can cause severe calcium deficiency symptoms to occur, including irritability, hot flashes, night sweats, leg cramps, and insomnia. These problems can be easily overcome if the intakes of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are all generously increased and are well absorbed.”
Jobee Knight, a nutritional researcher and founder of Nutrition Breakthroughs in Glendale, CA., is someone who fought her own menopausal battle against sleeplessness and insomnia. She decided to put her background to use by searching out effective natural insomnia remedies for relaxation and deeper sleep.
The result was Sleep Minerals II, a natural insomnia remedy that contains highly absorbable forms of calcium and magnesium, combined with vitamin D and zinc. The ingredients are formulated in a softgel with healthy oils, making them more quickly absorbable than tablets or capsules and providing a deeper, longer-lasting sleep.
Anita L. of New Caney, Texas says: “I was having hot flashes every 30 minutes to an hour through the night and was so miserable. After about two weeks of taking the Sleep Minerals, I noticed an incredible difference with my sleep. I have much less interruption from flashes, I’m sleeping much better and I’m a lot more comfortable.”
The minerals in Sleep Minerals II are also proven to be beneficial for strong bones, healthy muscles, menopause symptoms, teenage insomnia, and correction of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D deficiencies.
Vitamin C can be found in many delicious foods and is known to be beneficial for immunity, stomach health, maintaining blood vessels, strengthening bones and teeth, healing wounds, and supporting heart and eye health.
Vitamin C is a key player in the production of collagen, which is the most abundant protein in the body and is a component of muscle, joints, bone, skin, hair and nails. High amounts of vitamin C is supplied by citrus fruits, many berries, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, red and green peppers, and in supplements.
For good health, smooth skin, hot flash relief, and a refreshing night of beauty sleep each night, keep your vitamin C levels high and take some absorbable forms of calcium and magnesium. For more information on Sleep Minerals II, visit the natural sleep aid page.
Vitamin C night sweats?
Studies have shown that vitamin C for night sweats and hot flashes is an effective remedy. Blood vessels dilate and widen during hot flashes — this process is the body’s way to release the heat. Vitamin C strengthens blood vessel membranes and can ease hot flashes per a study in “Chicago Medicine.”
The famous vitamin E is renowned for combating aging by keeping joint degeneration at bay and increasing eye and heart health. What is not so well known is that vitamin E can help aging skin to retain its smoothness, moisture and beauty.
Research from the World Congress of Public Health and Nutrition reports that more than 90% of Americans fall below the daily recommended amount of vitamin E. The recommended daily allowances are provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and for vitamin E it’s 15 milligrams per day.
The secret to vitamin E’s importance for both internal health and external beauty is similar to that of the other antioxidant vitamins (A and C) — their ability to undo the “free radical” damage that causes skin to develop lines and lose elasticity and firmness.
Free radicals are damaging molecules that come from a reaction of oxygen inside the body. They come from pollution, smoke, medications, infection, stress, toxic chemicals, a poor diet, and also as a byproduct of normal digestion and metabolism.
“Anti-oxidants (or anti oxygen substances) such as vitamins E, C and A can help to defend the body against free radical damage and repair it. These nutrients can assist to create skin that is firm and luminous, and incorporating both nutritional and topical approaches can be of benefit.
Topical Vitamin E in Dermatology
Vitamin E is a popular skin treatment because of its ability to stop reactive oxygen molecules from altering the formation of collagen. Collagen is the main protein in connective tissue, bone and other key tissues in the body. Vitamin E also maintains the elasticity in cellular spaces that provide the balance necessary to preserve skin moisture.
A dramatic example of vitamin E’s effectiveness for skin health comes from a study done at Ohio State University. Scientists there found that one particular form of Vitamin E called ‘tocotrienol’ could significantly reduce the amount of damage caused by burns. They concluded that “This model (research) shows that if the level of tocotrienol in the skin is increased five-fold within the first six to twelve hours after a burn, subsequent burn damage will be reduced by at least 50 percent.”
Topical Vitamins Can Boost Beautiful Skin
In addition to Vitamin E, Vitamins C and A are also used in modern skincare to boost skin health and smoothness. In fact, all three vitamins work together to promote the production of collagen. As noted by Leslie Kenton in her best-selling book “The Skin Revolution”, Vitamin C is essential and plays an important role in a transformation in your skin cells, taking up the important amino acid, proline, and using it to make new collagen.”
Does Diet Matter?
What a person eats can have a great affect on their skin’s appearance. It is important to consume an antioxidant-rich diet to ensure the cells are well guarded against the ravaging effects of free radicals. Avoid refined ingredients such as white flour and sugar, which cause the collagen fibers (which should be present in tidy bundles) to tangle and become crossed up. The result can be lines, wrinkles and aging skin.
A diet featuring quality proteins like fish and grass-fed meats, seasonal vegetables and fruits, and healthy fats such as olive oil, is recommended for its richness in the antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E.
Boosting Your Vitamin E Intake
Foods which contain good amounts of Vitamin E include nuts, seeds, avocado, leafy green vegetables, broccoli, butternut squash, olive oil, trout and kiwi fruit. Try if possible to buy organic fruits and vegetables, since recent studies have shown they contain significantly higher levels of antioxidants than conventionally grown produce. They also contain less heavy metals, and since they are pesticide-free, they help reduce the skin’s toxic burden.
Vitamin E can be a great part of one’s skincare routine, and there are an abundance of skincare products in natural food stores that contain this fat-soluble powerhouse. Combine a nutritional approach with a daily skincare routine, to give the skin all the nutrients it needs to glow from within. If a person has very sensitive skin, it’s possible that topical vitamins in skincare products can be an irritant. In this case, test a small amount of any product and wait several hours before using it liberally. For all the beautifying benefits it provides, be sure to add vitamin E-rich foods to your diet.

While multiple companies manufacture and market “new and improved” fast-moving consumer goods that we use every day, such as soap, toothpaste, deodorant and body lotion, one of the best and most natural products has been right under our noses, so to speak.
Coconut oil has a pleasant scent, and besides being very economical, it’s an amazingly versatile and therapeutic substance. Since the mid-1990s, roughly, coconut oil has been used for a number of applications, such as cleansing, deodorizing and healing, and this has been growing on the larger population.
Questions like “Where does coconut oil actually come from?” and “What does it smell like?” are apropos. Coconut oil, like butter, is a solid substance, melting to a liquid form when it reaches about 76 degrees.
Insoluble at room temperature, it takes on a creamy consistency when blended with water using a whisk. If not treated to processes such as bleaching, refining or deodorizing, coconut oil exudes the mild fragrance you would expect — like coconut.
2 Kinds of Coconut Oil — Commercial Grade and Virgin
The relatively recent interest in the many uses of coconut oil also elicits questions regarding its production. There are two basic types: Commercial-grade and virgin coconut oil.
Commercial grade coconut oil — This product is made from copra, which is the dried meat of the coconut. It’s usually smoke-, sun- or kiln (oven) -dried or a combination of the three. But when standard copra is used to make coconut oil, it’s not sterile and therefore unsuitable for human consumption.
It’s “purified” or refined through a process known as RBD — refined, bleached and deodorized. According to Coconutdiet.com:
“High heat is used to deodorize the oil, and the oil is typically filtered through (bleaching) clays to remove impurities. Sodium hydroxide is generally used to remove free fatty acids and prolong shelf life.
This is the most common way to mass-produce coconut oil. The older way of producing refined coconut oil was through physical/mechanical refining. More modern methods also use chemical solvents to extract all the oil from the copra for higher yields.”
Virgin coconut oil — In comparison, like olive oil, coconut oil is best when “first-pressed” and “virgin.” Like pressing a teabag that’s been steeping in boiled water for a few minutes, the first water released will contain the most actual extracts.
The second time it’s pressed, as in the teabag analogy, the result isn’t as concentrated. Coconutdiet.com continues:
“Virgin Coconut Oilcan only be achieved by using fresh coconut meat or what is called non-copra. Chemicals and high heating are not used in further refining, since the natural, pure coconut oil is very stable with a shelf life of several years.
There are currently two main processes of manufacturing Virgin Coconut Oil:
Quick drying of fresh coconut meat which is then used to press out the oil. Using this method, minimal heat is used to quick dry the coconut meat, and the oil is then pressed out via mechanical means.
Wet-milling. With this method, the oil is extracted from fresh coconut meat without drying first. ‘Coconut milk’ is expressed first by pressing.
The oil is then further separated from the water. Methods which can be used to separate the oil from the water include boiling, fermentation, refrigeration, enzymes and mechanical centrifuge (swirling around).”
Why Keep Coconut Oil in the Bathroom?
Raw, organic coconut oil, besides being good enough to eat (which we’ll discuss in a minute) has a plethora of benefits apart from actual ingestion. Here’s a list of 15 benefits of coconut oil, in no particular order:
1.Smooth shave — If you’ve been plagued by red, irritated and razor-burned skin after shaving, coconut oil is both soothing and antibacterial.
2.Rash recovery — Other rash problems from diaper rash to mild allergic reactions can be remedied using coconut oil. Propylene glycol is one chemical found in commercial moisturizers that can cause skin irritation and dermatitis.
3.Lip balm — Use coconut oil to moisturize, nourish and hydrate chapped lips without inadvertently eating endocrine disruptors.
A study on the metal content in lip balm revealed lead, aluminum, cadmium, chromium and manganese in high concentrations, some associated with reproductive, developmental or other adverse health effects.
4.Facial cleanser — Effective as a face wash, mixing equal parts coconut oil and castor oil is known as oil cleansing. Massage it into your skin and remove gently with a warm washcloth.
Ninety percent of the body washes and cleansers you buy contain harmful chemicals such as sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate, which, in combination with other chemicals, can form cancer-causing nitrosamines (harmful chemicals). Coconut oil can even improve acne.
5.Makeup remover — Not only can you cleanse your face, you can remove use it as a natural makeup remover — even stubborn mascara and eyeliner.
6.Night cream — While you may not want to use coconut oil under makeup, applying it lightly before bed will hydrate your skin because its fatty acids form a natural emollient. If the skin around your nails is hard and peeling, treat your cuticles to a soothing coconut oil rub to keep them soft.
7.Deodorant — A tiny dab of coconut mixed, if you desire, with an essential oil such as lavender is very effective — so much better than the antiperspirants containing aluminum, which is linked to Alzheimer’s.
Another deodorant recipe combines 3 tablespoons each of coconut oil, arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) and baking soda.
8.Foot fungus fighter — Because it’s antimicrobial and antibacterial, coconut is very effective in combating athlete’s foot. Rub it on the bottoms of your feet after every shower.
Antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal compounds in coconut oil have been shown to inactivate microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi.
9.Soothing bath — As an alternative to bubble baths that may induce urinary tract infections, especially in children, drop a dollop of coconut oil in your bath with a few essential oils. It’s both moisturizing and helps kill bacteria.
10.Body scrub — Combining equal parts coconut oil with sea salt, sugar or baking soda to make a homemade scrub softens, smooths and moisturizes your skin.
11.Body lotion — Moisturizers you buy at the store typically contain harmful chemicals such as aluminum, phthalates, parabens, formaldehyde and propylene glycol. Coconut is a fragrant, moisturizing alternative containing none of these.
12.Toothpaste — To combat tooth decay and even whiten teeth, make a DIY coconut oil toothpaste by mixing 1 teaspoon with 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 2 drops of peppermint essential oil. Just brush as usual.
13.Oil pulling — An oral rinse works much like a mouthwash, only you shouldn’t gargle with it. As you swish vigorously for five to 15 minutes, it penetrates the soft tissue between your gums and “pulls out” bacteria that causes cavities, plaque and bad breath.
14.When applied to infected cuts or wounds, coconut oil develops a layer of naturally protective chemicals that also keep out dust, fungi, bacteria and viruses. Applied to bruises, it speeds up the healing process in damaged tissues.
15.Frizz fighter — People with hair that tends to frizz often turn to silicone- or alcohol-based gels and mousses, which coat the hair, prevent it from absorbing moisture and dries out the hair shaft. Just a few drops of coconut oil are all you need for a natural hair conditioner for smooth, silky shine.
Healing Properties of Coconut Oil
Virgin coconut oil has been described as having a “haunting, nutty, vanilla flavor (and) even milder and richer-tasting than butter.” A New York Times article noted that coconut oil, while once demonized by the “all saturated fats are bad for you” camp, has now become accepted:
“The main saturated fat in coconut oil is lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid (easy to absorb). Lauric acid increases levels of the good fats, “HDL”, or high-density lipoprotein, and also bad LDL, or low-density lipoprotein (cholesterol), in the blood, but is not thought to negatively affect the overall ratio of the two.
… Any number of health claims have been made for lauric acid. According to proponents, it’s a wonder substance with possible antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral properties that could also, in theory, combat H.I.V., clear up acne and speed up your metabolism.”
Even applied topically, coconut oil has healing properties. One interesting factoid is that while antiperspirants containing aluminum are associated with Alzheimer’s, coconut oil actually prevents it because of the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) that are easily absorbed and metabolized by the liver and can convert to ketones. One study noted:
“Ketone bodies are an important alternative energy source in the brain, and may be beneficial to people developing or already with memory impairment, as in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) … (It may also) be beneficial in the treatment of obesity, dyslipidaemia (higher fats in the blood), elevated LDL (cholesterol), insulin resistance and hypertension — these are the risk factors for (heart disease) and type 2 diabetes, and also for Alzheimer’s.”
Alzheimer’s is projected to affect 1 in 4 Americans in the next generation, rivaling obesity and diabetes, but evidence suggests that ketone bodies in coconut oil may help restore and renew neurons and nerve function in your brain, even after damage has set in.
Unhealthy Alternatives to Coconut Oil
Regarding coconut oil in the kitchen, even as a household cleaner, there are a few points to consider:
•Virgin coconut oil has a smoke point of 350 degrees, so for cooking, it’s best used at lower temperatures. Olive oil overcooks even as low as 250 degrees, which may cause oxidization, doing your body more harm than good.
•You can substitute coconut oil for butter or olive oil, and most definitely instead of so-called vegetable oils. Here’s why:
Multiple studies reveal coconut oil to impart amazing benefits when used in nutritional applications. One of the most dramatic changes you can make in your health will be to replace the so-called “healthy” vegetable, soy, corn and cottonseed oils such as canola when sautéing food or baking cake or cookies.
It’s interesting to note that Polynesian populations, who’ve been using full-fat coconut oil as a diet staple for untold generations, have no heart disease to speak of. Why? It’s a direct contradiction to what conventional medicine touted for a few decades, that saturated fats are bad for you, and will lead to obesity, high cholesterol levels, heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
The truth is, saturated fat like that of coconut oil and olive oil is natural, not the concocted substances created in a laboratory using methods like hydrogenation and partial hydrogenation that convert polyunsaturated fatty acids to unhealthy trans fats. Vegetable and seed oils undergo the double whammy of hydrogen atoms and high heat, creating a cheaper oil with a long shelf life that’s very bad for your health.
Further, when vegetable oils are heated to a high temperature, the chemical compounds break down, get “stuck” in your cells, oxidize (create excess oxygen) and create dangerous free radicals (molecules with oxygen) that can lead to disease.
So, make good use of coconut oil in your bathroom (and also your kitchen!) and benefit from its many effective uses. This article is shared by Nutrition Breakthroughs, maker of the effective calcium,magnesium and vitamin D based sleep aid Sleep Minerals II.
What if a research study was conducted with actual real human beings (not animals) that demonstrated a mere one to two minutes a day of exercise could result in better, stronger bones? Well, there is one.
With increasing age, our bones become weaker and less dense, particularly in women after menopause due to the decline in estrogen and calcium in the body. More and more studies are finding that physical movement and activity can counteract the effects of weaker bones and any tendency toward bone fractures.
Epidemiology is the study of how often various diseases occur and also what possible ways or methods might exist to control or eradicate them. The most recent study on the topic of bone health was published in the International Journal of Epidemiology. The burning question in the researcher’s minds was this: How do we discover what type of exercise, what quantity of exercise, and what intensity, would provide the most positive, beneficial impact on bone strength.
For the study, both pre and post-menopausal women wore small wrist monitors for a week that measured and recorded the intensity of their physical movements. It was particularly important to the researchers to be able to record very short amounts of activity. They looked at data for more than 2,500 women, and compared their activity levels with bone health, which was measured by an ultrasound scan of heel bone.
The outcome? A mere one to two minutes of flat-out, intense exercise resulted in an increase in bone strength. This translates to a minute or two of slow jogging for a post-menopausal woman or a minute or two of running for a pre-menopausal woman in order to achieve a 4% increase in bone health. Women who did more than two minutes had a 6% increase. (Please see further recommendations below on how to safely transition into more intense exercise).
The lead author of the study, Dr Victoria Stiles of the University of Exeter in the UK, said: “We wanted to make every second count in our analysis, because short snippets of high-intensity activity are more beneficial to bone health than longer, continuous periods. We were careful not to ignore short bursts of activity throughout the day.”
Dr. Stiles makes a suggestion for people who are interested in upping their levels of daily exercise. She said: “The UK’s National Osteoporosis Society recommends increasing your walking activity first. Further on, we would suggest adding a few running steps to the walk, a bit like you might do if you were running to catch a bus.”
Another proven way to increase bone health is to include more calcium-rich foods in the diet. Olive oil, leafy greens, almonds, raw cheeses, yogurt, broccoli and carrots are good choices. Calcium, magnesium and vitamin D supplements are also beneficial. Not only do these minerals strengthen bone and muscle health, but they are proven to calm sleeplessness and insomnia as well.
One study published in the European Neurology Journal found that calcium levels in the body are higher during some of the deepest levels of sleep, such as the rapid eye movement (REM) phase. The study concluded that disturbances in sleep, especially the absence of REM deep sleep or disturbed REM sleep, are related to a calcium deficiency.
William Sears, M.D. writes: “Calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to manufacture the sleep-inducing substance melatonin. This explains why dairy products, which contain both tryptophan and calcium, are one of the top sleep-inducing foods.”
One calcium-based supplement shown to be effective for insomnia is Sleep Minerals II from Nutrition Breakthroughs. This formula contains highly absorbable forms of calcium and magnesium, the best minerals for sleeplessness and insomnia, as well as for menopause insomnia, heart health, restless leg syndrome and bone strength. It also includes vitamin D and zinc and is delivered in a softgel form with healthy carrier oils, making it more quickly absorbable than tablets or capsules and providing a deeper, longer-lasting sleep.
Sadie D. from the Netherlands says: “I am ever so grateful that I discovered Sleep Minerals II after suffering with premenopause and now the real menopause insomnia. I felt like I was slowly losing my mind due to the continual lack of sleep. I can’t express the relief of getting a good night’s sleep and being able to function properly.”
Richard P. of Parkville, Maryland says: “The Sleep Minerals are making quite a difference. I was regularly waking up at around 3:00 a.m. and couldn‘t go back to sleep. Now I wake up once to go to the bathroom, but the great thing is, I then fall back asleep and sleep several more hours.”
The main message is that a combination of exercise and calcium tend to ignite into a dynamic duo that can bring great boosts to bone health, healthy sleep and good overall health.

Brand: Natural Lawsons
Cost: 129 yen
Found At: Lawsons
And as it was a Friday, and I particularly love coconut, I thought I’d treat myself to another of the fancy Natural Lawson’s chocolates that had made its way onto the shelves of my local roadside Lawsons. And I am so glad that I did. There’s nothing quite as good at the end of a long day as a sweet, bitter, and delightfully salty lump of chocolate-coconut goodness. Not only can I feel soothed by the richness of the chocolate, but I can also stuff myself in the sure and comfortable knowing that this chocolate is organic, free trade, free range, and has lived a rich, full life of self-discovery.
The only downside of this organic chocolate is that, without the host of preservatives that I know and love, there is nothing to make sure that these chocolates stay solid after making contact with human skin. And from there, there is very little to stop the chocolate from getting everywhere. No sooner had I reached into the bag, then I had chocolate on my watch, my ring, my purse, my forehead, and streaked across my cheeks. Instead of the sophisticated, climate-conscious urbanite image that I was trying to cultivate, I looked like a toddler on Halloween. Even worse, in a rush of environmental goodwill, I had refused the proffered towelette at the convenience store. I’ve been eating chocolate all my life, after all, and I thought I could handle it. Thusly caught-out, I had to make do with a black work blouse that I had stashed in my purse and forgotten some weeks before.
In the privacy of my own home, I would find no shame in toweling myself off with a piece of clothing. Unfortunately, this was one of those awkward moments when you find yourself the only white woman on the train doing a very poor job as cultural ambassador to the West. I wanted to turn to my neatly arrayed neighbor and reassure her:
“This is not my culture, I’m just an idiot.” But I was afraid that this would do more to frighten than to soothe. So, I finished removing the chocolate from my jewelry and quarantined the lightly sweetened blouse in my grocery bag. It would have been a perfect crime had I noticed and removed the streak of organic cacao across my forehead. Luckily, as I live in Aichi, the people in the train car politely left this fact unmentioned, giving me the space to discover this oversight on my own, sometime later. As I walked off the train into the bafflingly surprised crowd on the platform, I could feel the collective sigh of three dozen people on the train. They’d had to endure more than their fair share of strangeness that day and now could relax in the knowledge that, in this strange sea of foreign manners, at least they’d come from somewhere civilized. | <urn:uuid:e0cd5104-e546-48b9-b0d4-affcf3a5eab8> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://cheapenoughtoeat.blog/2018/10/26/coconut-sugar-chocolate/ | 2022-09-30T12:19:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335469.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220930113830-20220930143830-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.977985 | 625 | [

This book was a lovely surprise! I was somewhat worried in the beginning, as classical fantasy tends to bore me rather easily these days… But « City of broken magic » has some real personality and some excellent characters, and consequently my reading was great!
To begin with the minor flaws. They’re all of the same trend, about some rather confusing points: nothing really problematic, just small ideas you keep wondering about in the back of your mind. Some explanations come rather too late, for instance; the town which seemed smaller for me than it must be, as another exemple. Also that I thought for a while that Amicae was absolutely cut from other towns, except for controlled commerce, and was surprised to see that comings and goings were authorized, that trips were perfectly possible, if uncommon. So, nothing big really. In fact the most annoying point is the book’s presentation, which is half false, implying that there are Mages using magic (they aren’t really, magic comes from a mineral which can infused some objects and give them magical energy, so using magic is up to anybody wealthy enough to buy magic infused amulets) and also that the heroine will have to fight all alone – false again. In fact the truth is much more interesting and I don’t understand why this presentation is so wrong! Well, let’s hope that some changes will be made before publishing date…
Now that this small matter of vagueness is set, lets talk about the good things!
I liked the author imagination and the world building. And if it’s sometimes a little fuzzy around the edges it’s quite counterbalanced by its personality and originality. One could easily imagine some kind of nice developments in this world, and I hope there will be!
The action, which evolves by spurts (as most of the job is about waiting, preparing and tiding) is quite good, reminding me often about the excellent series « Lockwood and co » by Jonathan Stroud. A mix of thorough preparations, specialised magical weapons, courage, quick thinking, mutual assistance and sheer luck.
What I liked most in this book, which is a sensitive point for me, is characters’ development, which was great. The main characters were real persons, eluding all the stereotypes and clichés so frequently encountered in so many books, people with background stories which were actually affecting them along the story. I especially liked the heroine, Laura, a very normal person, likeable, competent and courageous but always in a credible kind of way. She may be petty sometimes, but is never unkind and tries to better a nicer person – she’s young and still maturing.
Indeed one of the main theme is about self-affirmation, especially when the entourage, even persons well-meant, trie to prevent you to do what you want with your own life. The relationship between Laura and her aunt is especially subtle in this way.
In a general manner characters, are never caricatured, being slowly nuanced. Good characters make half of a good read for me, and as the story was also very good… the book was a hit for me! I really hope that the sequel will be out soon – a sequel clearly implied by the end of the story which, if neatly wrapped up, suggests some nice future developments).
« City of Broken Magic » is a book I recommend to all readers who like stories with personality, credible characters, with no gratuitous violence, stories about friendship and family ties, stories which don’t yield to the pressure of genres’ diktats. It’s a debut novel, and it shows a little bit, that’s true. But I will take anytime a good and personal story, even greenish, rather than a perfectly controlled conventional bland one!

‘No Stone Unturned', a book based around memorial inscriptions researched by Luke Baxter and Hugh Farrell, with photography by Michelle Ghee, will be launched in Longford County Library on Thursday, December 8 at 7:30pm.
The launch will be performed by the Most Reverend Dr Michael Geoffrey Jackson, Archbishop of Dublin, Bishop of Glendalough and Primate of Ireland.
Giving some insight into the book, Hugh Farrell explained; “In 1986 the late historian Harry Farrell - with assistance from the Longford Leader - documented the names and date of death on all grave stones in Templemichael and Ballymacormack parishes in a book titled 'Exploring Family Origins and Old Longford Town'.
“Our appetite for more information on those inscriptions resulted in this book, and with Harry’s book in one hand and a soft brush or chalk in the other we set about the task of copying the full inscriptions.”
As the book's title suggests, the researchers left literally no stone unturned, with inscriptions copied from St John’s churchyard, Presbyterian Cemetery Battery Road, Templemichael Glebe, St Mel’s Cathedral, Convent of Mercy, St Catherine's, Church of Ireland, Ballymacormack and wall plaques in St Mel’s College Longford.
“The tragedies and the triumphs of Longford are contained within this publication,” Mr Farrell continued. “The work was undertaken four years ago and has been ongoing since. The amount of information on some of those stones is incredible, they contain dates of birth and death, place of birth, and in the case of married women in many cases it gives their maiden names.
“On most of the military tombs it gives short biographies on cause of death, service etc.
“As the Cavalry barracks is in close proximity to St John’s churchyard, many of the burials are soldiers from the famous Cavalry Regiments that served here in times past. The first military related burial was Captain Samuel Forth in 1706.
“British soldiers that fought against the rebels in 1798, at Waterloo against Napoleon in 1815, the Crimea in the Charge of the Light Brigade in October 1854 and the Indian Mutiny in 1857 are interred here,” Mr Farrell revealed. “Rev Francis Little who wrote an eye witness account of the French landing at Killala in 1798 rests here.
With inscriptions being copied by day and researched fully by night, this helped both Mr Farrell and Mr Baxter to trace the lives of those buried from birth to burial.
“It gave us some amazing insights into the lives of people long since gone from this earth and it is hoped will be of great assistance to those tracing their roots in the future,” Mr Farrell concluded.

The Netflix film from the director of ‘Suicide Squad’ has some serious originality. Like gangster elves.
It might not be fair to David Ayer or to this new movie of his, Bright. But it’s inescapable. This is the director who, with plenty of studio “assistance,” gave us Suicide Squad. And as fans, we’re going to be reckoning with that for a long while. But here’s the rub: Ayer is a filmmaker who has made really interesting, gritty, dark and unique films in the past. It’s why he looked like a good fit for Suicide Squad going into the project. Both Fury and End of Watch have a raw quality to them. The story of SS will be that Ayer wanted to go too dark with a superhero movie and the studio panicked in the 11th hour.
Even in the time since Suicide Squad, Ayer has been making waves by showing a little too much edge for the tastes of Hollywood. He recently exited Universal’s Scarface reboot for creative reasons with rumors swirling that it had a lot to do with his darker approach. Maybe the world isn’t ready for an even bloodier, more sadistic version of Tony Montana. Perhaps Universal will get Jason Segel to make it with Muppets, instead.
Alas, Bright presents David Ayer an opportunity to work inside the Netflix system, where filmmakers are allowed free reign over their projects and their visions can thrive. Whether or not unrestrained David Ayer combined with an unrestrained story from Max Landis (Chronicle) is a good thing is yet to be seen. Thanks to Netflix, we’re all going to have the freedom to find out together.
In this trailer, we get a lot of story and world-building. Orcs, humans, elves, and all manner of magical creatures living together in a modern day Los Angeles. It’s End of Watch meets Lord of the Rings. As the trailer rolls on, we see that relative newcomer Lucy Fry (11.22.63) plays an elf woman at the heart of the story. She finds a magic wand and now everyone in LA is ready to kill for it. Can Will Smith and Orc Joel Edgerton stop all the madness and save the day?!
Bright hits Netflix on December 22. Check out the very interesting trailer below, followed by a picture of Edgar Ramirez as a gangster elf and Noomi Rapace as elf Catwoman.

Five Star Helps To Say Goodbye To The Metrocard
November 15, 2017
We are very pleased and excited to announce that Five Star Electric Corp. is working on the MTA’s New Fare Payment System Project as a partner/subcontractor to Cubic Transportation Systems!
The project receives a lot of press attention for obvious reasons. As many of you will recall, the Metrocard replaced tokens as the form of fare payment in 2003. This design/build project will provide MTA with a state-of-the-art, integrated, reliable and convenient fare payment system by replacing various legacy systems in use by the NYC Transit, MTA Bus, and Railroads with an integrated next-generation system. The new system will be an account-based, open payment system allowing customers to pay fares using diverse options, including mobile apps, digital wallets such as Apple Pay, contactless bank cards and MTA-issued contactless transit cards. The system will also provide customers with multiple 24/7 self-service options for managing their accounts and options to purchase and reload fare media online and at local retailers. | <urn:uuid:8a2fe2fc-200f-4917-9287-89494628b5c0> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://fivestarelectriccorp.com/news/five-star-helps-to-say-goodbye-to-the-metrocard/ | 2022-10-07T05:45:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337971.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20221007045521-20221007075521-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.935245 | 222 | [

A Girl Showed What Can Be Eaten for $600 at One of the World’s Best Restaurants
What do you imagine is served for lunch in one of the best restaurants in the world? That was a question that a student from Australia, the hero of this article, asked herself. When she came to San Francisco, she spent $600 in California's most expensive restaurant and shared her impressions and her photos with the users of Imgur.
Bright Side invites you to go on a small gastronomic tour. Of course, the photos cannot replace the real experience but they can probably inspire you to cook something unusual for dinner tonight.
Meet the girl. She is registered with the nickname Hoptail on Imgur. In her post she wrote, "I am often called well-off but I really like good food and save up for it."
In 2014, the restaurant Saison got the highest rank of the year - 3 stars from Michelin, which means "exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey."
And this is the view from the top. The firewood is part of the restaurant's concept as most of the dishes are cooked on an open fire or in an oven lit by the firewood. The chef avoids buying imported goods and buys products from local fishermen, hunters, and farmers.
So let's start with the tea! Each little bushel has yarrow, chamomile, hyssop,
lemon balm, Douglas fir, and anise. And they all are picked fresh from the restaurant's farm and steeped in hot Meyer lemon water. The girl claimed it was "The most heavenly tea I've ever had in my life and could quite cheerfully drink this every day until I died."
Then came the dish from baby spinach, kelp, and caviar. The baby spinach leaves are torn off at an early stage of growth, so they have a delicate taste. The kelp is roasted in clarified butter that is made from the milk of Bella, a cow living on the restaurant's farm. And the proprietary caviar is salted according to a special recipe, using smoked salt.
The girl shared her impression of the dish, "Even though all the textures were super different, they came together so smoothly."
This is sashimi from turbot fish - a species of flatfish. Thinly sliced raw fish pieces were so gorgeous that Hoptail was taken aback, "I shed tears knowing that I'd peaked and would never experience better raw fish after this moment." She was also served another preparation of the same fish - grilled with a light soy glaze and decorated with physalis.
Afterward came Geoduck. You can click on the image to see how it looks in its raw form. According to the girl's opinion, the dish wasn't that good. It was just kind of chewy and the marinade was super overwhelming due to which she couldn't actually taste the meat itself.
Another dish that impressed the girl was fresh sea urchin on grilled bread that was basted in a sauce made of the offcuts of the bread. However, she is not the only one who gave this dish great reviews. In numerous reviews about Saison, the sea urchin gets the most appraisal.
After came thinly sliced radish with clarified butter on top. Underneath there were cubes of marinated radish, the radish tops, and a sort of radish jelly vinegar reduction. It was a really good transition from the creamy sea urchin to the bitter taste of radish. By the way, the compatibility of dishes on the menu is thoroughly thought through by the chef of Saison.
Then they brought 3 kinds of roasted pumpkin. The first kind was topped with octopus flakes and the second was topped with buttermilk cream. Both of the dishes were amazing. However, the third one, pumpkin puree in cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil, was too salty and not as tasty.
You're probably thinking it's time for dessert. No, it's time for meat dishes now. The first one was medium rare antelope meat stuffed with radicchio and herb salad. These were all complemented with biscuits and honey butter. According to the girl, the fillet of antelope meat resembled the taste of something between venison and beef.
After that, they served antelope bone broth with sage which was very delicious and packed with flavor.
Finally, dessert! At first, it was smoked ice cream.The technology of the preparation, of course, is not revealed in the restaurant. The ice cream is served with salted caramel that ended up splitting the girl's life into before and after.
Together with smoked ice cream, they served candied cocoa nibs, peanuts, walnuts, and pine nuts. It was very, very tasty.
Then came something really smooth and creamy and it had hidden segments of candied oranges at the bottom.
Afterward, it was time for blueberry sorbet with brandy-macerated blueberries and more brandy on top. You'll like the dish if you are a fan of brandy because the dish has quite a lot of it.
Now for the cherry on the cake: another dish that this restaurant is famous for is a chocolate bar resembling "Snickers" that is topped with gold. The chocolate is cooked in the restaurant using the same salty caramel.
After a 4-hour lunch, the girl was presented with some nice souvenirs. She wrote, "This was an awesome experience and, for me, well worth the money." Apart from the good food, Hoptail noted the mesmerizing atmosphere of the restaurant, the unobtrusive service, the amount of free space, and the flavors of nature in the air. All of this was complemented with music from the ‘70s-‘80s.
Our gastronomic tour has come to its end.

When I learned he had set up shop in a new Gowanus studio right next door to his old one, I went to pay a visit.
Shakespeare with a pie in his face is the first thing you see as you enter the studio, and he had me at hello. This guy (one in a series of pie-faced busts) is called As You Like It. Antonson made the screen in back for his wife, the book editor and author Kathleen Hackett. The plaster, hanging lamp sheds light when needed. The scarf and evergreen are season-optional.
My idea of heaven: The studio was filled with pieces in progress or ready to be shipped to clients like Daniel Romualdez, Miles Redd, Victoria Hagan, and a roster of A-list design pros. The Charles chandelier is center, and to the left are bases being prepared for his Ring lamps. “The old studio had great light but was small, 500 square feet; we were constantly banging our heads on hanging chandeliers,” Antonson says. His new studio is roughly twice that size and has two skylights and outdoor space.
A Shard table was in the works. Behind it are recycled window sashes that Antonson used to make the wall that separates the studio workspace from his office. Antonson is one of those ingenious industrial artists who can make, and do, anything. Back in 2010, he and his wife collaborated on a book, Home From the Hardware Store. “I made; she wrote,” he says. “She almost killed me on several occasions.” He has done major overhauls of two of their Brooklyn homes, so far.
The new office has a French metamorphic table (it adjusts to dining- or coffee-table height) that Antonson bought in Maine. The Italian leather and chrome chairs were found on the street the day he moved into the new space. “The Icicle chandelier is the first chandelier I made years ago,” Antonson says of the overhead plaster light fixture.
“We painted the entire new space white,” Antonson says. “Kathleen suggested we save a sliver of the original wall finish. We chose to keep this area because it looked like a horizon — a seascape with a cloud overhead. I asked my 8-year-old son, James, to draw a ship, which we taped to the wall.”
I noticed an Eames chair in the corner of the office that had had a little footwork alteration done, as well as a paint job.
Antonson’s office desk has a tablescape that includes his candlesticks and casts of hands (his two sons’ and his own). “The boys love coming to the studio and using power tools to make things,” he says.
The yard in the back of the studio, Antonson explains, “is where we will host cocktail parties in the spring.” One of the pie’d sculptures is keeping warm until then.
On my way out, I noticed another chair folly. “This Pollock chair is a street find I combined with a red-chair street find,” Antonson explains. “When I find a stray chair, I still have that improv impulse to bring it home and attend to its needs.” | <urn:uuid:cc42490a-1871-43e0-bf51-c41370c540ff> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.curbed.com/2015/01/tour-artist-stephen-antonsons-new-studio.html | 2022-09-26T16:11:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334912.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20220926144455-20220926174455-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.9765 | 754 | [

We thank you for visiting DiGeronimo Wellness and welcome you to Kristy’s Blog. Enjoy.
The Blessing of Wonky
Most of us have been there…awakening to or meeting up in our day with a sense of askew-ness. The body and mind seem to live on different planets, the face might feel as if it has shifted off center and the brain might feel bathed in syrup instead of the free ebb and flow of light and slippery cerebrospinal fluid. Concentration is a little off, thoughts may race, the body might feel a little zingy. Recognize any of this? Have you also visited the land of WONKY? The culprit can be any number of influences…a change in barometric pressure…the clouds gathering…a shift in hormones… nothing like a good jolt of estrogen to clutter the mind with racing thoughts; too much progesterone and you are walking in a London on a foggy day. Low thyroid hormone and the body and mind may feel trapped under the lead shield the dental assistant drapes over you for x-rays. It can be brain chemistry, hunger, anticipation…stress hormones prepare the mind and body to pick a fight with the next obstacle or flee to a dark, quiet place of safety…maybe inside a bag of cookies. Communication might be a challenge…am I sounding as WONKY as I feel? Do I look WONKY? Can they tell I am doing my best just to be present and focused? This description may be a bit exaggerated for the sake of engagement…but at times most of us find ourselves traversing and navigating the continuum of WONKY.
Here’s the kicker of WONKY. When we find ourselves in the soup of imbalance, there is the fear that we will come to LIVE IN WONKY FOREVER. That a trip to Target will always illuminate our struggle to function, we will always feel a step behind ourselves and everyone else.
That is how I awakened on Tuesday this week…thought I was fine…had breakfast…had a great day ahead of me…wanted to get to class nice and early for lots of quiet time in God’s presence. Then…interruptions, or should I just say LIFE, muscled their way into my plans…phone calls…two at a time…on cell and home phones…e-mails, the Sears guy coming to fix the washing machine, or was that the fridge? Not so difficult usually… but stirred into what I now see as an overdose of caffeine and HRT (hormone replacement therapy) I fell down the rabbit hole, watching husband, repairmen, devotions and yoga manuals swirling in my brain like a smoothie in my Vitamix. While driving to class I realized I had to PAY ATTENTION. Here is what saved me: Breath, Mindfulness, and Memory.
How to Navigate WONKY in a nutshell:
Noticing the breath is a good place to start. Maybe you’ll notice the LACK of breath at first. This is your cue to be aware of making the breath slower and deeper, which signals the nervous system that you are safe…It actually plays a trick on it. The nervous system doesn’t know you are safe yet, but more oxygen in the system is a sign of settling. The nervous system says, “O.K. time to regroup”.
Notice a sense of being present in the moment. Where are you now? What’s happening?I was in the car, sitting, driving.
Notice your body and consciously soften your face, neck, abdominals and legs. This will allow the oxygen an easier route through the body…tension is like a roadblock to life-giving O2.
Notice your surroundings. On my drive to church I began to pay attention to the sunlight, blue sky, colors of leaves, and OF COURSE, the road!
Remember: YOU are not your WONKY…WONKY is the result of perceptions and chemistry. Often it is externals acting on internals. Instead of spiraling down the rabbit hole, we can step back and observe it, acknowledge it and, instead of beating ourselves up, ask, ”This is just WONKY…How can I care for myself now?”
Remember: Your innermost CORE…the person, soul, and spirit…who God made you to be… is always intact. There is a pool of stillness that lives in God’s loving presence without disturbance at the center of your being. It is the most real, eternal place within. How would you imagine that place looks? It is helpful to develop a mental snapshot of that place and bring it to mind often…the practice of entering stillness and recalling the Holy Spirit within on a regular/daily basis will serve you well during WONKY.
Remember: WONKY will not last forever. It is most often a state that will pass. As you gain more knowledge about your body and how it reacts, you will be able to navigate more easily.
Remember: Most importantly…The blessing of WONKY… Knowing God’s faithfulness…From day one, our human condition has predisposed us to WONKY. As we learn to trust God’s presence through these times, we know we are held, loved and strengthened through them. Our faith muscle (not my favorite term, but quite useful for illustration) is exercised and our knowledge of His presence grows, often despite the fact that we may not feel Him in the moment. Hindsight shows that we were able to function and thrive because of the Spirit’s love, strength and faithfulness.
Here are some verses you can call on as anchors for the soul during WONKY. Recall them, in your mind’s eye… see them happening, give thanks for the truth they speak.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Isaiah 41:10 NIV
“ For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self discipline (also translated “a sound mind”).
2 Timothy 1:7 NIV
“…Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”
Philippians 4: 6-7 MSG
So ,dear ones… take heart when you find yourself following the WONKYBRICK ROAD….Entering the land of WONKY every now and then is never comfortable, but while visiting, we can learn more of God’s comfort. We can become more aware of His strength in our weakness. We can grow hearts full of empathy and compassion for our fellow travelers. Isn’t that, after all, the greatest commandment? To love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength…and to love our WONKY neighbors as our WONKY selves? | <urn:uuid:23290802-8298-4271-8064-0b9f570fa21e> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://digeronimowellness.com/hello-world/ | 2022-09-28T01:01:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335059.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927225413-20220928015413-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.9314 | 1,567 | [

When choosing a cannabis strain, it is sometimes wise to opt for a tried and tested option. Yes, it is fun to experiment once in a while but if you need high-quality weed, seek The Truth. It won second place for Best Indica in the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup. It comes from one of the best-known strains in history and produces predictably awesome effects.
What Is The Truth Strain?
It is a sativa-leaning hybrid that’s a cross of SFV OG, Chemdawg, and Triangle Kush, a descendent of the legendary OG Kush. It is worth noting that Triangle Kush is a clone-only strain. True Canna Genetics created The Truth, which is arguably the closest thing you’ll find to the incredible OG Kush weed that was available a few decades ago.
It is worth using this strain if you have an urgent task to complete or if a deadline is approaching fast.
You’ll quickly discover that The Truth gives you an invigorating cerebral high that makes you feel creative. The burst of energy it provides should also ensure you have the desire to get things done. It is worth using this strain if you have an urgent task to complete or if a deadline is approaching fast, and you’re all out of ideas.
Users also report feeling happy and notice a smile remaining on their faces for a long time. The body high eventually appears but is mild enough to ensure you’re never couch-locked. Novices and individuals with a low THC tolerance may find themselves getting sleepy, but only if they use a relatively large amount. If you’re looking for something to help you sleep, there are better strains for the job.
Despite the different aromas associated with its lineage, The Truth has a relatively straightforward scent. It offers a combination of pine, earthiness, and hints of fruit. Users also find that it is a pungent strain, so exercise caution when using it. Remember, using cannabis in public places remains illegal!
The earthiness is also apparent in its taste, along with hints of wood, spice, and berries. It is an unusual flavor mixture but is generally popular amongst users.
Although The Truth resembles early OG Kush in some ways, it has a different aesthetic. This strain has denser buds and a higher level of trichome coverage. The brightly colored buds are pleasing to look at, and the orange pistils enhance its appearance.
The Truth Grow Info
Unfortunately, we’re unable to find a great deal of information on cultivating this strain. However, from what we have learned, it is likely that if you purchase The Truth seeds, growing them requires plenty of hard work. It is probably not the best option if you’re a novice grower. It is also probable that The Truth isn’t as resilient to pests and mold as some of the more widely-available strains on the market.
Based on its genetics, The Truth should grow reasonably well indoors or outdoors. However, if you choose to cultivate it outside, it requires a warm climate with lots of sunshine. Outdoor-grown The Truth can yield around 12 ounces a plant and is ready for harvesting by the end of October.
When cultivated indoors, The Truth produces approximately 12 ounces per square meter. As it is sativa-leaning, its flowering time is fairly long, at between 9 and 11 weeks.
THC Content – Highest Test
The Truth is a relatively potent strain with a THC content of between 18% and 22%, with 20% the average.
CBD Content – Highest Test
This strain has approximately 1% CBD. This is considered fairly high for cannabis that isn’t specifically bred to produce CBD.
Medical Benefits of The Truth Strain
The Truth is growing in prominence as a possible medical marijuana strain. The combination of high THC and a decent amount of CBD means you could try it for various reasons. The famed cerebral high of this strain helps you forget your troubles and focus on being happy. As a result, consider it if you have stress, depression, or anxiety.
Users often report feeling more focused and productive when using The Truth. Therefore, it is potentially useful if you have ADD/ADHD. Although it doesn’t provide a sedating body high, The Truth still has some possible analgesic effects. MMJ patients sometimes use this strain to see if it can help with the physical pain associated with conditions such as arthritis.
Possible Side Effects of The Truth Strain
Like any marijuana strain with a high THC content, The Truth comes with a few possible side effects. Novices might find that they become anxious or paranoid if they use too much of this strain. There is also the possibility of dizziness or headaches. Otherwise, the main adverse effects are dry mouth and dry eyes.
Final Thoughts on The Truth Strain
The Truth is a pleasant hybrid that leans towards sativa in terms of effects. It provides a manageable cerebral high that could boost energy, creativity, and productivity. MMJ patients often try it to help with issues such as pain, fatigue, and ADD/ADHD.
The Truth is a pleasant hybrid that leans towards sativa in terms of effects.
There isn’t a great deal of information on growing The Truth. However, based on its parentage, we can guess that prospective growers should have some experience in cultivating cannabis before tackling this strain. | <urn:uuid:861d4851-2ef1-4b74-84cf-f05ac3f8175b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://wayofleaf.com/cannabis/strains/the-truth-strain | 2022-09-29T07:59:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335326.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220929065206-20220929095206-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.943049 | 1,182 | [

“Cameron Graves is a musical genius. He has an innovative approach to the piano that is completely unique. Cameron’s new album ‘Planetary Prince’ is an amazing and almost unbelievable combination of modal jazz, romantic era European classical music, and mathematical death metal. A style so cool that it deserves its own genre…” – Kamasi Washington
A member of the game-changing, genre-blurring Los Angeles collective, the West Coast Get Down, pianist CAMERON GRAVES is taking the modern jazz scene by storm. Graves’ debut record on Mack Avenue Records, Planetary Prince, which also serves as Graves’ pseudonym, comes from The Urantia Book, a spiritual tome that emerged from Chicago in the first half of the 20th century and that purports to reveal the truth of humanity through a combination of spiritual and cosmological ideas, including radical retellings of familiar stories from the Bible. This release marked a seismic shift in the jazz landscape, blending elements of Jazz, Classical, Rock and Hip-Hop.
Hendrix and guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan carried The Urantia Book with them on the road. Bassist Jaco Pastorius named his piece “Havona” on Weather Report’s 1977 album Heavy Weather after the universe where, the book says, Paradise is located; Urantia itself is in one of seven mega-universes. Graves, another devoted reader, has named Seven and all of his pieces on the record after references in the doctrine (“Sacred Spheres,” “The Life Carriers,” “Mansion Worlds”). The cosmology is all over Planetary Prince as well.
Mitchell puts it another way, drawing on his experience as “a Christian-raised Black man in the Baptist church.” The basic thrust of The Urantia Book, he says, “is how to love your neighbor better. With that mindset, playing this music, we’re actually helping each other out. It’s a musical way of looking at helping your community.”
As for Seven, despite its delayed release and the hold on his touring plans, Graves believes the serial dramas of 2020 have actually heightened the relevance in the music’s power and tensions. “When I first wrote it,” he says of Seven, “it was a test drive—to see if that sound could compete with the other modern sounds out there, especially Kamasi and Thundercat. Now I feel like it really illustrates the angst out there: the election, cops, the coronavirus.
“People are pissed off,” Graves says, “and here’s a record that understands how they feel. This is the sound of the era.”
The following is an excerpt from SF Jazz…
(Cameron) Graves’s curiosity has led him in esoteric directions. Given the opportunity, he will lecture on Hertz cycles and the spiritual effect of vibrations on the human body; Coltrane and Sun Ra understood such things, he says. Planetary Prince, his 2017 album, is inspired by The Urantia Book, an esoteric tome, 2,000 pages long, that offers an alternative history of creation and humankind’s place in the universe. Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia and Jaco Pastorius are said to have been students of “Urantia,” as is Graves who “wanted to musically illustrate that book” with his album. His song titles reflect its contents: “Satania Our Solar System,” “Adam & Eve.” Its discussions of the “Seven Master Spirits” and the “Seven Grand Divisions” of the universe have pushed him toward playing in seven time, an “amazing time signature to write music in, because the music sounds very high level, as opposed to 4/4 which is a simpler rhythm. Seven is not quite a danceable rhythm. Seven is more of an intellectual rhythm.”
