Things I've Learned by Walking my Two Dogs
Double Dog Dare.
I started walking my two Jack Russells together several years ago and I’ve had the opportunity to learn a few things about double dog walking. Cesar Millan’s methods are right, but mine work for my dogs. I’m not such a strict pack leader but then again, mine are JRTs. Here’s my take on walking my two ‘June bugs on a string’.
1. Use the same equipment on both dogs. Harnesses are NOT recommended, use collars. I don’t like chain chokes, as my dogs are both civilized and small. I prefer the martingale collar. I have heard some people can use a coupler, a short connecting leash between dogs, but I cannot recommend it with Jack Russells. I believe it could lead to fights and possible injury to one or both of the dogs.
2. The leashes must be the same length.
3. Carry a walking stick or a cane for protection against loose dogs, snakes, etc. If you have pepper spray that may work but it can backfire and it doesn't work on snakes.
4. Be sure your gear is fitted properly to include your clothing and packs. Think comfort and safety, pants not too loose or too tight, cotton socks with sturdy shoes. Wear a hat.
5. Use a backpack or a fanny pack for your supplies. You should carry:
A. water for you and your dogs, at least two bottles.
B. bowl(s) for your dogs to drink water from
C. pocket knife
D. whistle to signal your location if necessary
E. cell phone
F. Extra leash and collar for emergencies.
G. First aide kit (band-aides, sterile wipes, antibiotic cream, etc.)
H. wallet with your ID and if you have any health problems an updated list of your meds. I. always bring any emergency meds you might need on the trail such as inhalers and epi-pens.
6. If you've never walked your dogs before start by walking them one at a time to get them trained to the leash and your signals. Take your time with this as you are setting the foundations for their future behavior. I would suggest that you develop certain verbal cues to help them understand what you want from them. Words like 'Lets Go' to indicate forward motion, Perhaps ‘This Way’ for a left direction or ‘That Way’ for a right direction. There are traditional terms like mush, gee, haw and whoa but use what is comfortable for you. The dogs don't care.
7. Once you have mastered the walk try taking them both out together. If one is higher energy, in the beginning you might take him for a short walk alone then pick up the second dog afterwards. At this point in your training, I would recommend that you take one in each hand the first few times. Leave your stick behind at this point. This is just to familiarize them with walking together and to see if you have a fearful dog or if there is aggression between them. They can cause tripping problems for you and excite his pal. Dog fights can occur, be prepared.
8. When you all have become acclimatized to walking with each other, they you can start to fine tune the walk. Determine which side is more comfortable for you to control the dogs on and which side is more comfortable for you to carry your stick with. Traditionally, they go on the left side. I happen to like the right because it is my dominant hand, but that’s just me.
9. Position the dogs on the selected side of your body preferably side by side. Give your command and step off with the foot closest to them. This gives them a verbal and a visual cue to work from. Take a few steps and then give a halt command. Practice this a few times until they understand what you are doing. If they try to switch sides, don’t allow this. It can tangle you up and cause a bad fall. Just tug GENTLY on the leash or tap LIGHTLY on their flank with your stick. Do not scare or hurt your dog. This should be FUN for ALL of you, if it's not don't bother.
10. After this you will learn to adjust to your dogs and they to you. It is a learning curve. Each dog will react differently according to their natures.
I do recommend that you take things slowly and watch your feet. Dogs are tricky and will try to take advantage of many things to be where They want to be. But if you allow them free rein, you can get into trouble. You can take a hard fall just as easily on flat pavement as rocky ground with a tangle. This is a great way to get your exercise and your dogs’ also. It can be difficult at first and as I said, there is a certain danger involved.
You must be prepared, think ahead, and have the proper equipment in the arsenal in your backpack. Good luck and if you learn something I don’t know about, please let us know. | <urn:uuid:04c757b4-8661-46c3-9cdb-a58f86eb7f34> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://debi-philosophyoftruth.blogspot.com/2010_06_13_archive.html | 2017-11-23T14:45:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806842.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123142513-20171123162513-00676.warc.gz | en | 0.961343 | 1,088 | [

FANNIN COUNTY, TX -- A hazmat team was called out after two milk-tankers crashed in Fannin County early Saturday morning.
The accident happened west of FM 82 on Hwy 82 around 3:30. DPS troopers say one of the trucks rear ended the other. No word if anyone was injured in this accident.
Just down the road crews also worked to clear another semi accident that happened around 8:30 Friday night west of Bonham along the westbound entrance ramp of Hwy 82. Firefighters say a semi flipped on its side after crashing with another vehicle. The semi was carrying Campbells Soup. There is also no word on any injuries related to this accident. | <urn:uuid:c53caa3e-2070-42dc-9133-9f01b547a460> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.kxii.com/home/headlines/Crews-work-to-clean-two-major-accidents-in-Fannin-County--220077341.html | 2017-11-23T15:12:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806842.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123142513-20171123162513-00676.warc.gz | en | 0.967657 | 141 | [

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- It's two-and-a-half weeks until the regular season opens, a month until the Marlins would need a fifth starter. So there's plenty of time for things to change.
Still, after Wade LeBlanc pitched four more shutout innings in a 10-2 win over the Braves on Sunday at Champion Stadium, it's fair to say he has the inside track. He's now pitched 10 Grapefruit League innings. He's allowed six hits, hasn't walked a batter and has a 0.00 earned run average.
"Absolutely," said manager Mike Redmond. "He's pitched well. He's had a great spring. And he definitely made a case for a spot in that rotation. He's just got to keep going out there and showing that consistency and let all the chips fall where they may."
"You know what, man? I feel good just because I'm healthy," LeBlanc said. "As long as you're healthy, you have a shot. Priority No. 1 is to make sure you're healthy and can bounce back the next day and be ready for the next game, whenever that is. Then you leave those decisions to those guys. As long as you're healthy and prepared for every outing, there's really nothing to worry about as far as any of that stuff."
Also working in his favor is that he's currently the only lefty candidate for the rotation, and he's out of options.
LeBlanc's only hiccup was a start against Venezuela in a World Baseball Classic exhibition when he was charged with three runs (two earned) in 2 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits and two strikeouts. Then again, Venezuela isn't on the Marlins' schedule this season.
Also in the running for the fifth spot are right-handers John Maine and Kevin Slowey. Redmond said there still could be opportunities for pitchers who aren't starters on Opening Day. "There's an option there for a long guy in the bullpen, too. That's something that we'll have to figure out as we get farther into it, see what direction we want to go," he pointed out.

In 1774, Colonel James M. Varnum led a militia in Rhode Island to fight for freedom in the Revolutionary War. Today, that same militia is still running drills, firing muskets, and fulfilling their patriotic duties.
The recognized militia, along with their Fife and Drum Corps practice every Wednesday at the Kentish Armory in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. These rehearsals are open to the public and draw in crowds of Rhode Island tourists looking for a taste of New England history.
The militia is now mostly seen at parades and historic events, but they are technically not re-enactors, they are the real deal. The group has never disbanded and remains a legal military organization that can be called upon the by the state for active duty. So, if the Navy, Army, Marines, Coastguard or National Guard need some back up, the colonial-style Kentish Guard is ready for action!
The militia is a mix of historical preservation, patriotism, and American tradition. Rhode Island benefits from the tourism brought in by the group, as well as the educational and civic performances by the militia. Learn more about the group at KentishGuards.org.

Paula Findlay is coming home to Edmonton to help promote the World Cup sprint triathlon, but the five-time World Triathlon Series winner won’t be competing, and that’s a good thing.
The 24-year-old athlete is still rebuilding her run fitness after a mysterious, hard-to-diagnose hip injury she suffered in June 2011 derailed her preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics, where she finished a tearful last.
Findlay burst onto the international scene in 2010, when she won back-to-back WTS races in London and Kitzbuehel and finished fifth in the ITU Grand Final race in Budapest, Hungary.
She continued her success streak in 2011, winning the first three WTS races in Sydney, Madrid and Kitzbuehel before suffering her hip injury while training for the Edmonton World Cup race that July. She continues the slow, careful rebuild from that setback.
So, Findlay will be in Edmonton to train from June 15-23, and will be helping to promote the men’s and women’s races. But she will not be at the start line for the women’s elite race on June 23.
While it would be great to be racing next weekend in my hometown, I am focused on building up my condition through a training block in preparation for races later in the summer. I have made a lot of progress this year, and am confident I’ll be racing better than I ever have in the build up to Rio. I am really enjoying the process of getting stronger every day, and been inspired by the success of my training mates in my new squad. There will be many more opportunities for me to race at home, including the 2014 World Triathlon Series Grand Final, which is very exciting. While I won’t be competing, I am excited to be training at home this week, and encourage the entire City of Edmonton to join me at Hawrelak to watch this great triathlon festival and cheer on my teammates. — Paula Findlay
Under new Triathlon Canada high performance director Libby Burrell, who took on that role following the London Games, the emphasis is on prudence with Findlay’s training and competition schedule in this first year of the four-year cycle to the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Burrell’s focus is getting Findlay 100 per cent fit by June 2014, the beginning of the two-year Olympic qualification period.
Findlay is working with coach Joel Filliol now and has shown encouraging progress in her training and the limited competition she has undertaken this year.
In the spring, Findlay competed in a sprint triathlon in Clermont, Fla., her winter training base, finishing fifth. She won an Olympic-distance triathlon in Sarasota, as well, her first victory since 2011, albeit in an admittedly regional event and not against elite competitors.
The hope was for Findlay to compete at the WTS race in San Diego, Calif., on April 19, but she withdrew from that race at the last minute. A minor injury issue was cited as the reason for that decision.
The good news was the decision was made at all. In 2011 and 2012, Findlay’s fitness and health worsened as she repeated a vicious cycle of rest, training and attempts to compete that proved to be premature. That approach was a case of diminishing returns, culminating in a distraught Findlay crossing the finish line in London in tears.
Findlay recently finished seventh in a sprint triathlon in France. She competed in the WTS race June 1 in Madrid, where she overcame a so-so performance in the 1.5-kilometre swim by bridging from a chase pack on the 40-kilometre bike portion to the lead pack of 25 women. But, by pre-arranged plan, Findlay did not embark on the 10-kilometre run.
A roster of 31 Canadian triathletes will be in the 2013 field including: defending champion, Kyle Jones (Oakville, Ont.), Alexander Hinton (Kingston, Ont.), who won the silver medal in the men’s race one year ago. They will be joined 18 other Canadian men including Victoria’s Andrew McCartney and Andrew Yorke, of Caledon, Ont.
The 11 Canadian women slated to compete in Edmonton includes Winnipeg’s Sarah-Anne Brault and Calgary’s Ellen Pennock, who finished second and fourth, respectively, last year, along Canada’s top-ranked female internationally, Joanna Brown of Carp, Ont., and Victoria’s Kirsten Sweetland who continues her comeback into elite racing following a series of injuries.
The two-day triathlon festival will also feature the Pan American Junior Cup, age group races, a Try-A-Tri, Collegiate Championships, and a Kinetico Kids of Steel race for Kids ages 3-11. The Paratriathlon National Championships, and a Kinetico Kids of Steel race for youth ages 12-15 will also take place on June 22.

Merisel Inc. is exiting the broad-line hardware distribution market in the United States to focus solely on software licensing. The company plans to wind down the balance of its domestic hardware distribution operations by the end of March.
The El Segundo, Calif., company said it will reduce its U.S.-based staff from 400 to 200 as a result of the restructuring. Merisel's Canadian operations, which employ 435, will remain a broad-line distributor, according to David Sadler, the company's president and chief executive.
Once the No. 2 broad-line distribution reseller in North America, competing with industry giants such as Ingram Micro Inc. and Tech Data Corp., Merisel has seen the nature of the U.S. hardware distribution industry change dramatically in the past 18 months.
"There has been pressure in terms of margins and terms and conditions of suppliers in the industry," Sadler said. "The margins have shot down from 9% or 10% to 4.5%, and we've seen an increasing number of hardware customers going direct to OEMs."
The last two years have been difficult for reseller distribution due to cutthroat pricing and the number of competitors chasing the market, according to Robert C. Damron, an analyst at Tucker Anthony Capital Markets in Milwaukee.
"Compaq reduced its number of distributors from 39 down to three in 2000, which made it more difficult for reseller distributors to compete," Damron said. "Merisel looked like they were still hanging in there until recently."
Sadler said it was in shareholders' best interest to pursue other avenues in the United States, but he remains bullish about the company's distribution prospects in Canada, which he says have "largely been unaffected by Merisel's performance in the U.S."
"Our Canadian distribution business has a strong market share-and with some vendor lines market dominance-in both hardware and software distribution sales. Merisel will continue to offer a full line of products to its national customer base in Canada," Sadler said. "With the sale of MOCA, Merisel has invested more than 40 million Canadian dollars in its Canadian distribution business in the past month to substantially improve its balance sheet and cash position."
Late last year, Arrow Electronics Inc., Melville, N.Y., agreed to acquire the Merisel Open Computing Alliance (MOCA) division, once Merisel's most profitable hardware-centric business unit. Arrow completed the deal in November for $110 million in cash plus the assumption or repayment of about $70 million in debt.
With 1999 revenue of approximately $950 million, MOCA is focused on Sun Enterprise Solutions, software, storage-area networks, Solaris operating systems, and professional services that run on Sun hardware.
In 1999, Merisel's North American distribution business comprised 82% of total revenue, generating $4.2 billion in net sales. Excluding MOCA, U.S. net sales reached $3.3 billion in 1999, compared with approximately $1 billion in the first three quarters of 2000.
Responding to mounting margin pressure, Merisel's U.S. divisions reorganized in January 2000, but the company found itself unable to adapt to the changing market fast enough.
Ingram and Tech Data, meanwhile, have experienced accelerated revenue growth with higher gross margins in the last three quarters, according to Tucker Anthony's Damron, as smaller competitors have left the marketplace and created a stronger pricing environment for those that remain.
"Merisel should've benefited this year to some extent from the better pricing environment," he said. "But the distributor lacked the economies of scale to compete against Ingram Micro, [which does] about $30 billion in net revenue, and Tech Data, with $20 billion in net revenue." | <urn:uuid:13dd9be7-0a71-4bfc-801d-94c8d758cd55> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1127566 | 2017-11-19T20:44:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805761.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119191646-20171119211646-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.959374 | 772 | [

The Fall Festival Ain't Much Fun if Mean Mommy Catches You Smoking
The kiddo's school put on their annual Fall Festival this weekend. There were games and prizes and face painting and a bouncy house. The kids could even go from the gym to the outdoor playground and an inflatable obstacle course. One mother thought that right there, outside the door, where everyone would have to pass to get to the playground, would be a good place for her smoke break. OK, she may want to hasten her demise (and honestly, at that moment, I wanted to hasten her demise, too), but on school grounds? Really? It's crappy parenting to smoke in front of your child, and school property is universally smoke-free. Her chemical dependency is not more important than our children's health. It's not more important than my health.
What really made me mad, though, was that nobody challenged her stupid decision. Well, nobody except for you-know-who. She just looked at me, but I'm sure the school administrator I complained to got a more positive reaction. | <urn:uuid:994c1dfe-d2eb-44a5-846b-2e145a1408ce> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://meanmommy1.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-fall-festival-aint-much-fun-if-mean.html | 2017-11-20T15:09:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806070.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120145722-20171120165722-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.979795 | 232 | [

David Carter returns to the scene of his maiden European Tour triumph to defend the Murphy’s Irish Open title this week at Druids Glen Golf Club.
Twelve months ago the Englishman deprived Colin Montgomerie of a hat-trick of championships over the superb County Wicklow course at the first extra hole of a sudden-death play-off after the pair tied on a six-under-par aggregate of 278.
In a dramatic finish, Carter sank a 20 foot putt for a bogey to force the play-off after the Scot had made up a four-shot deficit over the inward half. But in the play-off, Montgomerie found water from the heavy rough and when Carter landed a six iron safely on the green the contest was conceded and Carter was champion.
Carter, who only 17 months earlier underwent life-saving brain surgery in a Dubai hospital, went on to crown a magnificent season by winning the World Cup of Golf with Nick Faldo at the end of the year.
Carter and Montgomerie join a world-class field for the 44th edition of the Championship which was first played in 1927 and won by George Duncan. The Championship took a break from 1953, returning to the European Tour schedule more than 20 years later in 1975 when Christy O’Connor Jnr took the title at Woodbrook.
Since then a host of great players have added their names to the illustrious honours board including major championship winners Ben Crenshaw, Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer, Ian Woosnam, Nick Faldo and José Maria Olazábal. Murphy’s Irish Stout took over the sponsorship in 1994 and two years later the event was hosted by Druids Glen for the first time when Montgomerie triumphed. The following year the European Number One for a record six successive seasons produced some of the best golf of his career to shoot a course record 62 in the final round to win by seven shots.
Among the entries this year are Spain’s Sergio Garcia, making his fourth professional appearance on the European Tour, and American John Daly, twice a major champion. Ten of the champions of the 1999 European Tour season are also in the field.
Joining Carter and Montgomerie this week are past champions Ballesteros, Woosnam and Langer while Lee Westwood, 1998 European Tour Golfer of the Year, is also in the starting line up.
Druids Glen Golf Club was named after the Druids altar from pre-Christian days which stands on the hillside overlooking the 12th green. The course was designed by Pat Ruddy and Tom Craddock, the former Walker Cup player, and lies in the scenic Co. Wicklow, renowned as the Garden of Ireland. | <urn:uuid:7100c576-dbc0-4634-a456-68bc3d01cefb> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=1999/tournamentid=1999050/news/newsid=103650.html | 2017-11-20T15:45:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806070.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120145722-20171120165722-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.961719 | 569 | [

MONTRÉAL, Dec. 8, 2015 /CNW Telbec/ - At the end of his mission to France and as part of the 21st United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP 21), the Mayor of Montréal and President of the Montréal Metropolitan Community, the Honourable Denis Coderre, announced that Montréal has endorsed the Paris City Hall Declaration of the Climate Summit for local leaders. Through this declaration, the local elected and regional officials representing the five continents gathered at Paris City Hall on Friday, December 4, agreed to collectively fight against climate change.
"Montréal takes on a leadership role on the international scene in the fight against climate change, and we plan to work closely with our partners in a context where cities and metropolises are developing a new urban agenda to meet local and global challenges," said Mayor Coderre. "More than ever, cities and metropolises have a key role to play in the fight against climate change, and the goals that were set by national governments will not be met without their contribution. Cities are an integral part of the solution because they can undertake concrete actions that will have impacts and enable us to achieve our national goals," added Mayor Coderre.
During the Summit, Mayor Coderre called for the mobilization of cities as key players in the fight against climate change. He emphasized that the initiatives undertaken by each city, including Montréal, will make a difference in terms of climate change.
This Declaration was presented on December 5 at COP 21, as part of Action Day, and emphasized the commitment of local governments, among others.
The Paris City Hall Declaration of the Climate Summit for local leaders: Concrete commitments
Through the Paris City Hall Declaration of the Climate Summit for local leaders, the mayors, governors, presidents of regions and other local authorities agree collectively to: promote and exceed, to the extent of their authority, the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement, which was negotiated at COP 21; produce and implement resilience strategies and action plans to adapt to an increasing number of disasters related to climate change, by the year 2020; reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 3.7 gigatonnes, by the year 2030; support transition to 100% renewable energy within their respective territories, by 2050.

Canadian concerted action
The Mayor of Montréal ensured concerted action with the Government of Canada, Government of Québec, and with other Canadian cities, in a context where Canada is committed to fighting against climate change. He also discussed COP 21 issues with the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, and with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada and President of the Cabinet Committee in Environment, Climate Change and Energy, Stéphane Dion, and with the Minister of Environment and Climate change, Catherine McKenna. He also had discussions with Québec Premier, Philippe Couillard, and with the Québec Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change, David Heurtel.
Montréal held a meeting with the Canadian mayors attending COP 21, including the mayors of Toronto and Vancouver, John Tory and Gregor Robertson, the President of the Union des municipalités du Québec, Suzanne Roy, and the Mayor of Bromont, Pauline Quinlan, as well as representatives of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.
Montréal part of global networks
The Mayor of Montréal, who was already ambassador of METROPOLIS for climate change, was appointed President of that organization. Created in 1985, METROPOLIS is the main international organization of cities and metropolitan regions with more than one million inhabitants and is 140 members-strong. It is an international forum where large cities gather to discuss common issues.
The announcement was made as part of the World Council of the United Cities and Local Governments, whose meeting highlighted the progress of the work of the association to make the political voice of local governments heard on the international scene, especially the adoption of the United Nations 17 new sustainable development objectives. In this context of preparing the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III), which will be held in 2016, in Quito, Ecuador, the Mayor presented to the World Council the results of the Preparatory Thematic Conference, which was held in Montréal last October, and led to the Montréal Declaration on Metropolitan Areas.
"I am pleased to be the new President of METROPOLIS. This new presidency will ensure continuity, because the association was created in Montréal 30 years ago and included 14 other cities," said Mayor Coderre. "Today, international politics is no longer centered on relations between states. In fact, an increasing number of cities play an important role on the international scene. As such, I hope that METROPOLIS will become a major player as regards to the fight against climate change, Living Together, governance, independence of cities and urban development," concluded Mayor Coderre.
As part of the Fonds mondial de développement des villes (FMDV), the Mayor took on the initiative to make it easier for cities and local governments to access funding sources and fight against climate change.
Mayor Coderre took part in activities led by other networks of cities and local governments involved in climate change and urban issues, including C-40, Compact of Mayors, ICLEI-International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, as well as the activities of the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Envoy for Cities and Climate Change, Michael Bloomberg. Mayor Coderre also had discussions with the United Nations Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon.
Mayor Coderre had bilateral meetings with the mayors of several cities interested in developing close relationships with Montréal, including Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico, Johannesburg, Los Angeles, Brussels, Dakar, Seoul and Libreville.
Solidarity with Paris
Mayor Coderre expressed the support and solidarity of Montrealers to the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, following the attacks of November 13. Mayor Coderre, together with French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, and Anne Hidalgo, as well as Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Couillard, took part in the ceremonies to honour the victims of the attacks.
Building on the relationship of friendship and cooperation between Montréal and Lyon which was initiated in 1979, Mayor Coderre made a two-day visit of the metropolis of the Rhônes-Alpes region, during which he worked with the Mayor of Lyon, Gérard Collomb, to strengthen relations between the two cities.
The mayors emphasized the creation of a new Air Canada direct air service between the two cities, and announced with Équipe Spectra that Lyon will be the city to be honoured at the 2017 edition of the Festival Montréal en Lumières.
Mayor Coderre took part in the Entretiens Jacques Cartier in the company of the former Premier of Québec, Pierre-Marc Johnson, and the Québec Minister of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change, David Heurtel. A joint interview took place with the two mayors who discussed the challenges faced by city leaders.
Mayor Coderre, in association with Montréal International, also took part in the launching of the Greater Montréal Ambassadors Network, in Lyon.
In Paris and in Lyon, Mayor Coderre discussed economic development issues with authorities and businesses wishing to engage in new opportunities in various fields.
In Lyon, technologies and new types of cooperation between start-ups were discussed.
As part of a business meeting in Paris with the Mayor, the firm Derichebourg Environnement announced that it will establish its North American headquarters in Montréal. The firm, which is involved in the management of solid waste, expects to create 500 jobs in Québec, over five years.
The Mayor took advantage of his visit to Paris to meet with the Secretary-General of the International Organization of the Francophonie, Michaëlle Jean. Both agreed to continue to work together on priority issues, including "Living Together".
The Mayor also met with the former Secretary-General of the International Organization of the Francophonie, Abou Diouf, who discussed international political issues especially within the Francophonie.
During his visit, Mayor Coderre promoted the actions and leadership of Montréal at several interviews led by international media, including I-Télé, Journal du Dimanche, France 24, and Euronews.

The day of Ellie’s surgery we arrived at the hospital at 6am prepared to be the first surgical case of the day even though we were scheduled for later that afternoon. The hospital has all cardiac surgical patients arrive at the same time and everyone is checked in together. Easier for the nurses, then everyone is ready if something happens, and allows for a waiting room in which the anxiety can almost be seen floating through the air. The day of surgery Ellie could not eat or drink and could not have any medication. Ellie has been on lasix, sometimes referred to as water pills, to decrease the amount of fluid in her body giving her heart less work, since she was 4 weeks old. Prior to surgery they had increased her dose to 3 times a day. The highest dose possible before adding another type of medication. The morning of surgery, I held Ellie for hours as she drifted in and out of sleep. I thought Ellie must sense I’m stressed and is giving me a gift of perfect cuddles. She’s not even crying although she must be so hungry. Maybe so, but as the days since surgery have gone by and I’ve seen the improvement in her overall well being I realize why Ellie was so calm the day of her surgery: no medication. Ellie is a calm and happy baby, but being relaxed and serene in a hospital room with no food is a bit beyond the scope of her good behaviour. That morning I was witnessing how much Ellie had been struggling and how much she needed surgery. She lay in my arms completely exhausted, not a cry or a laugh, not even drinking water when they said she could have a sip. So although part of me still thinks she was giving me what I needed on a scary day, I also see that part of that gift was the realization of how we could have lost her if they hadn’t fixed her heart when they did, so I will never look back and think we operated too soon. Ellie’s energy level these days is pretty remarkable. On Thursday she had what will hopefully be her last dose of lasix, it has slowly been decreased since we got home. I’m not throwing it away just yet, it sits on my medicine cabinet and reminds me that we will remain cautious for a little while longer. I can remember the day Ellie’s cardiologist wrote out our prescription for lasix, how I couldn’t imagine giving such a small baby regular doses of medication. And then on Friday as I stared at her medicine bottle I felt nervous not giving her a dose. This morning I watched our strong little girl smiling on her tummy, pink little checks, no catch of breath, no pause to rest, only long deep breaths with the hint of a laugh.

Treason or Not? The Case Against Ted Kennedy
At some point, we will have to muster the courage to face the facts about Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy (D-Ma). Since the decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power was made, his criticisms of the President have become more shrill and accusatory. For the most part, that's fine -- the First Amendment protects the right to freedom of speech that we all have, within certain limits. (For instance, one cannot yell "Fire!" in a crowded building if there isn't one.) However, Ted Kennedy may have crossed those limits in his excessively vitriolic attacks on the President and his decision to liberate Iraq from Saddam Hussein.
President Bush, having been granted the Authorization for Use of Military Force in Iraq by Congress, decided to use that authorised force to remove Saddam Hussein from power. Whether the liberation of Iraq was justified as part of the War on Terror became merely an argument for historians at that point, in a certain respect. The fact is that the United States was and remains at war, like it or not.
Though our Taliban enemies and Saddam Hussein were swiftly defeated, the larger war against terrorism and the States that support it has not ended. At the moment, it is concentrated in that same Iraq that was once a prime supporter of terrorists under Saddam, including the open payment of $25,000 to the family of at least one Hamas suicide bomber, and $10,000 to other Palestinian militants. Our enemies now are the terrorists that have poured into Iraq to prevent that country from becoming an open and democratic nation. Such an event would begin the destruction of terrorism as the only way for -- from their point of view -- disaffected and disenfranchised Muslims to make their voices heard.
Many Middle Eastern countries are repressive Islamo-fascist dictatorships, if not outright theocracies. Whether the rulers are minority Sunni subjugating a majority Shi'ite population, a self-perpetuating religious oligarchy controlling a restless population through fear, or a single extended family ruling just about everyone else, the pressure is only relieved by channeling it into anti-Western rage. The most restive and angry -- and brainwashed -- people are the most likely to become recruits for terrorism. Repressive dictatorships must have an escape valve, or the pressure of their own restive populations would cause them to explode.
We do have enemies, and our enemies have chosen this war. The terrorists have declared that we are their enemy. Whether we like it or not, whether we agree on how we got there or not, we are at war with them in Iraq now. The recent horrific beheading of Nick Berg shows us exactly what kind of people those enemies are, and what they want. We must rid the Middle East of these terrorists -- that's what the War on Terror is all about. And Ted Kennedy has repeatedly given aid and comfort to the enemy in various ways in the course of this war.
He has sought to undermine the credibility of the commander-in-chief by accusing him of manufacturing the case for war in Iraq for his own personal and political ends. "This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud," Kennedy said in September 2003. The resolution authorising the war became law by Congressional vote in October 2002, three months earlier. In October 2003 Kennedy said, "The trumped up reasons for going to war have collapsed," and "the President's war has been revealed as mindless, needless, senseless, and reckless." These accusations can only have a detrimental effect on the morale of our armed forces fighting "the President's war," and on American credibility in the world.
He has sought to decrease the effectiveness of America's ability to prosecute war by demanding that Bush fire Donald Rumsfeld in the middle of a war. "I think we need a new beginning," Kennedy said after Rumsfeld's testimony before the Senate regarding the mistreatment of some prisoners in Iraq. By all accounts the abuse seems to have been performed by guards exceeding their orders, on their own initiative. When the abuse was reported, it was immediately investigated. The report from Major General Taguba found, as he told the Senate, that there were no actual orders given to the guards or policy set to mistreat the prisoners, though it was "suggested" by General Geoffrey Miller that they set the "conditions for the successful exploitation of internees." There is no evidence whatsoever that Rumsfeld had anything to do with it, yet this situation is being used to demand his replacement. Removing the Secretary of Defense on such a flimsy pretext in the middle of an ongoing conflict would cause a serious disruption of our military's coherence and efficacy.
He has sought to damage the morale of US troops in the field of combat by comparing them to Saddam Hussein's torture squads, speaking of the same prisoner mistreatment. "On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked, 'Who would prefer that Saddam's torture chambers still be open?'" said Kennedy. "Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management: U.S. management." Saddam Hussein's torture methodology included eye gouging, the piercing of hands with an electric drill, suspension until ligaments were torn, acid baths and feeding the victim feet-first into a plastic shredder. It is infamous and outrageous when our enemies compare the US military to Saddam's State-sanctioned torturers. How much more so when a sitting US Senator does it?
Title 18, Part I, Chapter 115, Section 2381 of the United States Legal Code defines "treason" in the following way: "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason." Senator Kennedy's accusations have given comfort to our enemies, who must surely think that they can force us to back down from them when they hear his vitriolic attacks. His words have aided the enemy by sapping the morale of American troops facing them in Iraq and Afghanistan.
For the successful prosecution of the fight against terrorism, our enemies must see that while we may argue amongst ourselves, we are united against them. For the good of the country, Senator Kennedy must step down from the Senate.
UPDATE: Please sign the online petition to request Senator Kennedy's resignation.

Abu Ghraib in Perspective
The manufactured hysteria over the prisoner mistreatment at Abu Ghraib prison is going to be at the top of the Iraq news as long as the Democrats and the media can milk it, so get used to seeing those terrible pictures and more day after day, all summer long. If there's a single American who isn't disgusted by the way Iraqi prisoners in American care were embarrassed and abused he or she ought to see a doctor. But all this hyperventilation by the media -- and, of course, leading Democrats -- is such a transparent attempt to turn public opinion against the President and the liberation of Iraq that it's already become cartoonish.
It seems that the problem began when some Army reservists -- untrained in interrogation techniques -- were put in charge of Abu Ghraib prison in October 2003, where former Saddam Fedayeen and other insurgents were being held. Major General Geoffrey Miller visited Abu Ghraib, and made a recommendation that the guards set "the conditions for the successful exploitation of internees." By January 2004, "softening up" the prisoners had crossed the line into abuse, which was duly reported to the authorities by Specialist Joseph Darby. Instead of engaging in the cover-up at which the media likes to hint, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez immediately ordered the matter investigated by Major General Antonio Taguba. As a result, Army Reserve Brigadier General Janis Karpinski was suspended from her command within days, and all the soldiers involved were removed from duty. Seven of the guards have been criminally charged so far. Karpinski stated that the CID (Army Intelligence) had taken charge of the cell block, and this still needs to be investigated further. Taguba's investigation uncovered the fact that one man, Master-at-Arms First Class William Kimbro, actually "refused to participate in improper interrogations despite significant pressure," but the media (in their determination to highlight the bad news) seems not to have mentioned him. In fact, though a press conference was held and the news media informed of the investigation on 16 January 2004, the problems at Abu Ghraib and other prisons were hardly mentioned at all until recently.
So the military investigated and corrected the problem, exactly as should be done. End of story, right? Don't be so naive... this is an election year! Someone leaked pictures of the abuse to CBS. After a short delay (at the military's request, due to the already-inflamed situation in Fallujah), 60 Minutes led the charge to wave those pictures in the collective face of the world.
No matter how many times President Bush and members of his administration apologise for this mistreatment, and no matter how quickly it was stopped and investigated, and no matter how many soldiers of whatever rank stand for punishment or incarceration, the Democrats won't stop beating this particular horse until long after its death. Calling for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's resignation is only part of their drive to turn public opinion against President Bush. No one has condoned what happened in that prison -- no one. No one tried to cover it up. But trust the Democrats, abetted by the media, to work all summer to convince the public that President Bush did both.
Donald Rumsfeld's testimony and apology before the Senate prompted the inevitable Vietnam comparisons... then again, the thought of Americans in foreign countries with guns always prompts hysterical knee-jerk Vietnam comparisons, especially from Democrats. While even Senator John McCain (R?-AZ) compared the mistreatment of prisoners by a few guards to the massacre of civilians in their homes at My Lai in 1968, Senator Joe Lieberman (D-CT) was able to put things in perspective.
"It deserves the apology that you have given today, and has been given by others in high positions in our government and our military," Lieberman told Rumsfeld. "I cannot help but say, however, that those who were responsible for killing 3,000 Americans on September 11th, 2001, never apologized," he said, and that four Americans in Fallujah who were "murdered and burned and humiliated ... never received an apology from anybody." Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and others called for Rumsfeld's resignation, despite the fact that 70% of Americans want him to stay in his position. The American people, it seems, understand that we are fighting a war, and that the enemy would love to see Donald Rumsfeld fired. In a rare statement, Vice President Dick Cheney struck a blow in Rumsfeld's defense. "Don Rumsfeld is the best secretary of defense the United States has ever had," Cheney said, "People ought to get off his case and let him do his job." President Bush stated that Rumsfeld "will stay in my Cabinet." Senator John Kerry (D-MA) called for President Bush to be replaced as well... but since he's the man who hopes to replace Bush, his point of view might be just a little biased and overblown. No matter what President Bush says or does, Kerry will call for him to be replaced, of course.
The perspective many on the Left seem to be lacking is this: in war, terrible things sometimes happen. People are not perfect. A nation which holds itself to lesser standards than the United States of America, however, would cover these things up, hamper the investigation, or even perform these acts and far worse as a matter of State policy the way Saddam Hussein did for over three decades. (Most Arab nations, in fact, use torture in prisons as a matter of course.) This is not what's happening, and the world can see that a democracy polices itself. Those responsible for the mistreatment of Abu Ghraib prisoners are being identified, investigated and will be punished for their misdeeds.
Still, some questions remain unasked. How did those pictures, evidence from an ongoing criminal investigation, certain to drive anti-American feeling both at home and abroad to a fever pitch as well as prejudice the investigation, make their way into the eager little hands of the media? Who leaked those photos, and why?
*UPDATE: When Staff Sergeant Ivan Frederick was under investigation by the military for the abuse of Abu Ghraib detainees, his family feared he would be made a scapegoat. William Lawson, Frederick's uncle, tried in vain to get the attention of seventeen members of Congress before sending an email to retired Colonel David Hackworth, who put Lawson in touch with CBS. Whether Hackworth or Lawson was the person who actually turned the pictures over to the media is still unclear, but one thing is unmistakable: leaking this material to the media has increased the danger to American lives, both at home and abroad. It has undermined the morale of our troops and the support for their mission. Was this really done in a vain attempt to prevent Frederick's court martial, essentially an attempt to blackmail the United States? If any plan could be said to backfire, this is the one. And it leads us to new questions. Which seventeen members of Congress did Lawson contact? Why did they remain silent? Did they not have the same responsibility to inform Congress that Donald Rumsfeld did?
It's going to be a very long summer.
(Thanks to Watcher of Weasels for the NY Times link and the blackmail question!)

New Socialism in New Jersey
Who said socialism is dead? It's alive and well in New Jersey... or at least on life support. In a preview of things to come should John Kerry win the election this November, Governor Jim McGreevey recently proposed a plan to raise the income tax for everyone in the state who makes more than $500,000 a year, which will be given to lower-income residents as a tax rebate. In much the same way, John Kerry wants to raise the federal income tax for everyone in America who makes more than $200,000.
I've often wondered when it became the job of government to punish those who make more money by taking a larger percentage of it away. Is it a crime of some sort to do well? No, even then one would at least be owed a trial first. Democrats like McGreevey and Kerry simply declare that the more a person makes, the higher a percentage he or she must donate, to be given to people who didn't work for it. Is there any other name for this but income redistribution, the hallmark of socialism? A certain amount of taxes are necessary to provide for the essential functions of government, but taking taxes from some in order to give it to others is simply ridiculous. (Sorry, Robin Hood was redressing a wrong, not creating one... and he wasn't the government.) Remember that Karl Marx and Frederick Engels proposed a heavy progressive income tax as one of the measures necessary for the advance of Communism. A progressive income tax increases the number of people dependent on the State for sustenance, reducing or even eliminating their self-reliance and autonomy. Naturally, they tend to vote for the people who promise to continue the "bread and circuses;" an automatic vote for Democrats from the apathetic masses.
How does that work? What sense does that make? Say you're twelve years old and charge $5 to cut my lawn. You spend a hot, sweaty hour pushing a lawnmower around my yard. When it comes time to pay you, I only give you $3... and give $1 to each of your two friends who watched cartoons while you worked. Next time, you charge me $10... but I give $2.50 to each of your friends, handing you only $5. "Well, that's only fair," I say. "They had less money than you." Would you ever visit me again, except to egg my house on Mischief Night? I'll bet those two friends of yours wouldn't like that.
What Democrats seem to forget is that the majority of people earning over $500,000 -- or even $200,000 -- are business owners and investors. When they feel the pinch of higher taxes, the last thing they'll do is pay with a smile. Radio ads touting McGreevey's tax proposal claim that it's "a small sacrifice for 28,000 to make." New Jersey will see that tax base drying up, should that enforced "sacrifice" become law. Some people who fall into the "making too much" category may move out of the state altogether, taking their money with them. Others will move their money out of the stock market and into tax shelters, putting it out of McGreevey's reach. Those who own businesses will not expand their business as they might otherwise have done, and will not hire new employees they might otherwise have hired. Most of those 28,000 people making over $500,000 won't be making that involuntary "sacrifice" the Democrats have decided they won't miss, or will make up the loss in other ways which will cost the state jobs and growth. So how will McGreevey pay for the big tax rebate he's promising "middle class" citizens he'll take from the pockets of the too-rich? How will he pay the increased ranks of the unemployed? He'll just have to raise that extra tax a little bit more to make up the shortfall. Repeat cycle.
Hmm... well, $200,000 is still quite a lot of money for New Jersey residents to make, isn't it? Surely the people making all that money can afford a small sacrifice as well? Then, perhaps those selfish people earning $100,000 might look as though they're making too much money... And if you think that this all sounds like a bad deal for New Jersey taxpayers, how do you think people at the same income levels might react to Kerry playing the same games with the federal income tax?

Sunday, May 02, 2004
As most people know, Ted Koppel recently devoted an entire edition of his "news" program, Nightline, to an editorial in which he merely read a list of every American soldier who has died in Iraq while showing their pictures. Koppel (and the rest of the Left) piously pretends this was done out of some pure motive to honor those dead, although no mention was made of the (no less honorable, surely) soldiers who died in Afghanistan. Only one conclusion can be reasonably be drawn from this. The main difference between Afghanistan and Iraq is that even the most fanatically anti-war people on the Left didn't -- or perhaps felt they couldn't -- openly oppose the former as they did the latter. (Some did, however, like the Peaceful Tomorrows group, which claims to speak for the families of 9/11 victims.) In fact, the Left still pretends not to know of all the reasons that the war in Iraq was necessary and right. No one should be surprised at their sophistry; those on the Left always pretend their motives are pure and that they're morally superior to the rest of us. If they were forced to admit the war in Iraq was justified, then they would be unable to justify their own opposition to it. How can those who opposed the liberation of 25 million people from virtual slavery ever pretend to be "morally superior" to those who supported it? There is no doubt that reading only the names of the soldiers who died in Iraq was done to turn popular opinion against President Bush and anyone who still supports our presence there.
Is that how we honor the dead now, by trying to make their sacrifice turn out to have been in vain? Is that how the dead of World Wars I and II were honored, or the dead of the Korean War? The Left began "honoring" the dead by throwing away what they died for during the Vietnam war, and have been trying to repeat that performance ever since. Every time American soldiers are sent to achieve an objective, the Left (claiming to be concerned for them) begins undermining public support for their mission. Like the al-Qaeda elements our military is fighting in parts of Iraq, the Left is putting forth their best effort to stop Iraq from becoming a success. Unlike the terrorists, however, they'll still be here after Iraq has become a democratic society, waiting for the next opportunity to fight against those fighting for freedom.
If there's one trait that marks the Left more than any other, it's their voluntary virtual enslavement to that which is negative. The flip side of that coin is their inability to even acknowledge that which is positive. Is it good that soldiers died in Iraq? No! But then -- if you're intellectually honest -- you also have to ask, is it BAD that Iraqi schoolgirls are no longer sent to Uday's rape rooms by their principals? Is it BAD that Iraq has freedom of the press and free elections for the first time ever? Is it BAD that the mass graves are no longer being filled? Is it BAD that hospitals are no longer being ordered to let children die to make a better case against the UN sanctions? Is it BAD that Saddam is no longer hiding his violations of 17 UN resolutions and his cease-fire agreement with the US? Is it BAD that Saddam and his thug government are no longer systematically violating human rights as a matter of course? Is it BAD that Saddam is no longer giving money and support to terrorists and destabilising the Middle East? Focusing on the cost of the war while deliberately ignoring what it has accomplished is a half-truth at best, and an attempt to turn the deaths of our soldiers into a political tool. One cannot speak of those who died in Europe in World War II without remembering that they did so to free France and Germany, and remove Hitler from power.
If you want to honor the dead, then you work towards a freer, better Iraq. You praise that which has already been accomplished while you mourn the losses. You work to increase public support for the good work they did, and their fellows are still doing, so that it can be accomplished better and faster. No one is ignoring those who gave their lives in Iraq, as Ted Koppel and the Left seem to think. Using their deaths to make political points against their commander-in-chief, however, does not honor them at all.

Nightline: Politicising the War Dead
It wasn't enough for the Left when the "mainstream" media made it a point to include the daily US soldier body count from Iraq in every news report in every medium. It wasn't enough when they unapologetically added the number of those killed in accidents in Iraq -- which, frankly, could have happened almost anywhere -- to those killed in combat, just to inflate the American body count further. It wasn't enough for the Left that, for the last half of 2003, the media talking heads almost gleefully announced a second daily Iraq soldier body count, with the tagline, "since President Bush declared major combat over on May first." Support for the liberation of Iraq from dictator Saddam Hussein remained strong, despite the best efforts of the Left to instill an anti-war attitude into every viewer.
Dissatisfied at the refusal of the unwashed masses to go along with their determination to undermine support for the President and the war in Iraq, the Left began attacking him for not attending the funerals of dead soldiers, despite the fact that such events have been rare occurences in our history. President Johnson, who presided over the Vietnam War around which the Left has based their opposition to all things military since, only attended two military funerals despite the fact that 58,169 service members died. Bill Clinton, beloved of the Left, did not attend any funerals for the military except for the sailors killed in the al-Qaeda attack on the USS Stark. Not even the 18 Army Rangers who died in Mogadishu in 1993 merited a Presidential funeral attendance.
When that didn't drum up the anti-war sentiment the Left wanted, they began attempting to politicise the military itself. Falling back on standard Democrat class warfare tactics, the anti-war Left, led by Charlie Rangel (D-NY), began -- isn't irony incredible? -- actually calling for a draft, claiming that an all-volunteer military was "unfair" to minorities and the poor. As tragic as it was, the recent death of Army Ranger Pat Tillman in Afghanistan quickly squashed the Left's claim that people only enter the military due to economic hardship or other disadvantage. Tillman, a rising football star, turned down a $3.6 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals out of sheer patriotism after 9/11, becoming an Army Ranger instead.
Back to the dead, then. The Left has been attacking President Bush for not allowing photos of soldiers' coffins to be taken, implying that he was attempting to hide something. What he might be hiding, no one can say, since the death toll (as I pointed out earlier) has been announced several dozen times daily since the first day of combat in Iraq. The problem with that particular line of attack is that the Pentagon's rule against photographing the coffins of war dead has been in place since 1991, and was not invented by President Bush to keep anything "secret." The Left runs on sheer emotionalism, however, and many believed viewers would "feel" more objectionable towards the war if they could only see some coffins, since merely announcing numbers wasn't causing anti-war sentiment to rise. Finally, the Left got what it wanted -- a photographer broke the long-standing rule and shot several pictures of flag-draped caskets. Unfortunately for the Left, the remains were being treated with all the honor and respect they deserve, instead of being stacked like cordwood or cargo. "I let the parents know their children weren't thrown around like a piece of cargo, that they instead were treated with the utmost respect and dignity," said the woman who was fired for taking the pictures. Guess the Left just can't catch a break. The "coffin photo controversy" was quickly (pardon the pun) buried.
Ted Koppel must be growing impatient with the persistent "failure" of mainstream America to feel the anti-war sentiment the Leftist elites want them to. How can they undermine support for President Bush in the fall election if most Americans stubbornly refuse to personally blame him for each and every American death in Iraq? Well, Ted's got what he thinks is the answer. Tonight's "Nightline" will be almost exclusively devoted to reading the names of every American man and woman killed in Iraq, while pictures of the dead are shown and wistful music, no doubt, tugs at the heartstrings. "Just look at these people. Look at their names. And look at their ages. Consider what they've done for you. Honor them," says Koppel by way of defense, claiming that this is not a political statement. If you believe that, then give me your name. I've got some Florida swamplan... uh, prime real estate to sell you.
If it's simply an honor roll of America's war dead, as Koppel and other Leftists claim, then where are the names of those who have died in Afghanistan?

PA Primary: Republican vs. RINO
Tomorrow's primary will decide whether Pennsylvania Republicans are represented in the US Senate by a Conservative Republican or a RINO -- Republican In Name Only. According to CBS news Arlen Specter "votes with Democrats almost exactly 50 percent of the time." Naturally, this appears to be a good thing to the Liberal media. If there's any point in calling Specter a Republican, I fail to see it. Pat Toomey, on the other hand, is described as a "former Wall Streeter, Harvard grad and conservative ideologue" and is "known as a tax-cutting, spending-cutting budget hawk. He is also conservative on social issues such as abortion and cloning." Except for the cloning issue (being all in favor of the advancement of science), I cannot see a downside to electing Toomey to represent the State's Republicans. The media's position on the contest -- again, no surprise -- is that it's better for Pennsylvanian Conservatives to elect a false Republican who represents them only half the time than a true Conservative who -- the media hastens to warn -- stands a chance of losing the election in November.
While Specter voted to reduce the Bush tax cuts in 2001, Toomey voted for them in full. Specter has voted for five major tax increases, in fact, while Toomey has opposed raising taxes. We've seen the result of those cuts in a booming economy. Toomey supports tort reform, which would cut down on the number of frivolous lawsuits that are keeping health care costs so high. Specter opposes those reforms. Specter favors allowing US soldiers to be tried in the International Criminal Court, while Toomey opposes such an affront to the rights of Americans under the Constitution. Specter voted to let public schools ban the Boy Scouts of America. Toomey supports school choice, while Specter opposes it. In 1987, Specter voted against Reagan's appointment of Conservative Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. Bork's appointment would have prevented many of the judicial abuses of power we've been subject to ever since.
In 2002, Arlen Specter was the only Republican to vote against a resolution to aid international efforts to bring "Saddam Hussein and other foreign nationals accused of genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity" to justice. He still voted against the measure when it was weakened to read that "nothing in this title shall prohibit the United States from rendering assistance to international efforts to bring to justice Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosovic, Osama bin Laden, other members of Al Queda, leaders of Islamic Jihad, and other foreign nationals accused of genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity." Again, he was the only Republican to do so. Toomey has voted for pay raises for the military every year he has been in office. Not only did Specter vote against military pay raises two separate times, but he also voted to cut the budgets for both intelligence and defense along with John Kerry.
Tomorrow's primary is not Republican vs. Republican. It's Republican vs. RINO.

Supporting Abortion: Your Tax Dollars At Work
If you ever sought proof that our educational system is dominated by Liberals, it's this: the National Education Association is co-sponsoring an April pro-abortion march in Washington DC. Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Organization for Women, NARAL Pro-Choice America and other liberal and feminist groups are marching to promote abortion on demand. The organisation that supposedly represents America's teachers is officially marching right alongside them. Certainly there are individual teachers who don't support abortion, and would rather their mandatory union dues -- automatically deducted from their paychecks, which are generated by our taxes -- not be spent to sponsor a rally in favor of it, but they are clearly in the minority.
What business does a teacher's union have promoting abortion on the taxpayer's dime? Shouldn't the National Education Association be more concerned with issues related to education? What message does it send to children when they see their teachers endorse killing unborn children as a matter of convenience? How are they supposed to feel when they realise that if their mothers had felt the same way, they might not have been born? Aren't the teachers worried about putting themselves out of a job if too many people listen to them? Actually, there's little danger of teachers being fired for any reason once they reach tenure. This is the most radical method of reducing class size I've ever seen, however.
If teachers are supposed to be authority figures and role models for children, they should stick to promoting positive values when they speak as teachers. There's no reason for them to get involved in pro-abortion marches any more than they should be involved with so-called anti-war marches... which they're also doing. For instance, the United Educators of San Francisco/AFT/NEA/AFL-CIO joined with groups like the International Socialist Organization, the Pagans 4 Peace and the Queers For Racial & Economic Justice to stage a recent "run away!" war protest in San Francisco. Teachers were seen demanding that the US run away from its responsibilities in Iraq and stop fighting for liberty. Once again, what message does this send to the children for whom those teachers represent adulthood and authority?
If union members want to march in support of causes that have nothing to do with education, that's their right as individuals. When they represent themselves as speaking on behalf of America's teachers, then they shouldn't be endorsing either side of political issues.
Isn't it about time that the schools we pay for stop being used as a pulpit from which to promote purely Liberal "values"?

The Strange Odyssey of John O'Neill
Of all the people the 9/11 Commission should be interviewing but isn't, one person tops the list. It's not because he's on the wrong side of the table, like Jamie Gorelick (who raised the wall that separated domestic and foreign intelligence, but somehow became a commissioner instead of a witness). After working for years to put the pieces of the puzzle together and bring down al-Qaeda, a dedicated FBI agent finally gave up... and then al-Qaeda killed him. The man who should be interviewed is John O'Neill.
In 1995, O'Neill was put in charge of the investigation into the 1993 WTC bombing, which pointed to Iraqi involvement. His team captured Ramzi Yousef, the al-Qaeda operative who was directly responsible for the attack (and whose identity may actually have been an Iraqi intelligence plant). He also investigated the al-Qaeda attacks in Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania) and Nairobi (Kenya) in 1998, and on the USS Cole in 2000. His aggressive attitude towards catching terrorists clashed with the limited access the Yemenis gave him to the Cole bombing suspects. Rather than upset the Yemenis, Ambassador Barbara Bodine had him barred from the country, the first time such a thing had ever been done.
O'Neill quit the FBI soon after that, when an investigation began over a briefcase containing sensitive files that disappeared from his hotel room... only to mysteriously reappear in another hotel ninety minutes later, untouched. He became the head of Security at the World Trade Center in July 2001, and was at his desk on 9/11 when the planes hit. After getting out of the building and reporting to a command post, he re-entered Tower 2 to help others escape, and was killed when it collapsed.
The Clinton administration always insisted that al-Qaeda was a new type of terrorist group, one with no ties to any countries. John O'Neill knew that this was impossible. His investigation of the Cole attack, for instance, turned up evidence that a rogue state was involved, probably Iraq. The explosive used in the bombing was only used in the US, Israel, and "two Arab countries." The sophisticated device used in the attack also pointed to state involvement. Vincent Cannistraro, former CIA counter-terrorism chief, stated in October 2000 that Iraq had been wanting to carry out terrorist attacks, and that the Iraqi military had been in contact with Osama bin Laden. The "mainstream" media's studied ignorance of statements like these is baffling.
John O'Neill's personal files from his years of traveling around the world investigating al-Qaeda are now being used as evidence in a lawsuit. His family is suing Saddam Hussein and the Nation of Iraq for his death. The evidence includes documents unearthed in the headquarters of the Mukhabarat (Iraq's intelligence service) and information gleaned from the interrogation of both al-Qaeda and Iraqi prisoners. The purpose of the suit, coordinated by the Washington Center for Peace and Justice, is to prove that Saddam Hussein was a silent partner in al-Qaeda's terror attacks against the US; that he harbored and trained al-Qaeda terrorists. For instance, the lawsuit states that two of bin Laden's senior military commanders, Muhammed abu-Islam and Abdullah Qassim, visited Baghdad in April and May 1998 to meet with Qusay Hussein, Saddam's younger (and slightly saner) son. It also claims that Ayman al-Zawahri, bin Laden's top deputy, met with Iraqi officials including then-Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan. Documents recovered in Iraq also show, the lawsuit further states, that three al-Jazeera employees were acting as messengers between Osama and Saddam. "We can substantiate through witnesses and documents all the allegations," WCPJ attorney Joshua Ambush stated. The crux of the matter is that the 9/11 hijackers were very likely trained at Salman Pak, Saddam's terrorist training camp just south of Baghdad. Sabah Khodada, a former Iraqi army captain who worked at the camp, gave an interview to the New York Times and PBS on 14 October 2001 in which he made this claim. Khodada said, "I assure you, this operation was conducted by people who were trained by Saddam." Is it any wonder that the Bush administration looked to Iraq for answers about 9/11, when the media was full of stories about the connection between Iraq and al-Qaeda?
The O'Neill case is not the only legal action being taken against states that have sponsored and supported terrorism on behalf of 9/11 victims. In May 2003, Judge Harold Baer of the Southern District Court of New York ruled that plaintiffs had presented enough evidence to be awarded $104 million in a lawsuit against the State of Iraq, among others. Over 2,000 lawsuits have been filed against the governments of Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Sudan.
The O'Neill lawsuit will be the keystone case, however. Not only does this particular suit have more damning and thorough documentation (having been lodged after the fall of Baghdad and the recovery of the Mukhabarat files), but much of the investigative work was done by O'Neill himself before his death. The victim, in this case, will be the architect of the prosecution.
Poetic justice at its finest.

Syria and the WMD Shell Game
Since the day the first American soldier stepped across the Kuwait-Iraq border in March 2003, everyone who supported the removal of Saddam Hussein from power has been under a relentless attack from the Left. Led by the "mainstream" media, the attack began on the very first day, at the very first CENTCOM briefing, and has continued like a relentless mosquito whining to this day. Despite the fact that every intelligence service in the world agreed, members of the US government agreed, the United Nations agreed and Iraqi officials admitted that Iraq had created weapons of mass destruction and never provided any proof that they had been destroyed, the Left has been using "where's the WMDs?" as an attack against President Bush. Every time a plausible reason for not stumbling across warehouses full of gleaming ICBMs and vats of glowing green gunk marked "DANGER! WMD" right away was offered, the Left ignored it. They refuse to consider, even today, that Saddam may have hidden, moved or destroyed his arsenal, though it became clear months before the war in Iraq began that the Coalition was serious about forcing Saddam to comply with all those violated UN resolutions (including the 1991 cease-fire with the US). When those on the Left ask where Saddam's WMDs are, they don't actually want to know... they just want an excuse to bash Bush and claim that he "lied".
Every time evidence of illegal weapons (like the ricin in north Iraq) or dual-use material (like the so-called "pesticide" in south Iraq) was discovered, the Left brushed it off. Even Dr. David Kay's reports of Iraq's undisclosed WMD research (including Brucella and Congo Crimean Hemorrhagic Fever) could not penetrate their intransigence. They demanded that President Bush quickly produce huge stockpiles of WMDs or be branded a liar. Note that the kind of stockpile the Left demanded as evidence of Saddam's non-compliance would have been impossible to hide even from the bumbling Hans Blix. As Paul Leventhal testified before the Senate in March 2000, "he was in charge when the IAEA totally missed Saddam Hussein's nuclear weapons program before the Gulf War and accepted unsubstantiated Iraqi disarmament claims after the war." The Left ignored Hans Blix's background. The Left ignored every piece of evidence that Saddam had ever had WMDs. The Left has ignored everything that justified the Iraq war so far, because a just war doesn't fit their predetermined position. (You know the position: Bush is evil, he's controlled by Halliburton, aliens and/or Israel, Iraq was all about oil, world imperialism and/or personal revenge, etc.)
Well, this may prove a little harder for them to ignore.
An al-Qaeda cell linked to Abu-Musab al-Zarqawi (currently hiding out in Iraq), recently planned to set off simultaneous chemical weapon attacks in Jordan which might have killed up to 20,000 people. It might have been the worst terrorist attack ever, had it not been foiled by Jordanian officials before the plot could be carried out. One of the attack points was to have been the US embassy in Amman; the rest were public and government buildings. Where did these would-be bombers come from? Where did they get their chemical weapons, which included a poison gas (probably VX nerve agent, according to intelligence expert John Loftus)? According to Jordan... from our old friend, Syria. But how did Syria get chemical weapons?
During the last few months leading up to the Iraq war, some of Saddam's arsenal of WMDs was apparently being shipped across the Syrian border for safe-keeping. The Israelis believed that the bulk of it kept going, to be buried in Lebanon's Beka'a Valley, under Hezbollah control.
Now, our intelligence sources can disclose exclusively that the relocation of Iraq’s WMD systems took place between January 10 and March 10 and was completed just 10 days before the US-led offensive was launched against Iraq. The banned arsenal, hauled in giant tankers from Iraq to Syria and from there to the Bekaa Valley under Syrian special forces and military intelligence escort, was discharged into pits 6-8 meters across and 25-35 meters deep dug by Syrian army engineers. They were sealed and planted over with new seedlings. Nonetheless, their location is known and detectable with the right instruments. Our sources have learned that Syria was paid about $35 million to make Saddam Hussein’s forbidden weapons disappear.
The first part of this report matches what David Kay learned after spending several months in Iraq searching for the whereabouts of Saddam's arsenal. "We are not talking about a large stockpile of weapons," he said. "But we know from some of the interrogations of former Iraqi officials that a lot of material went to Syria before the war, including some components of Saddam's WMD programme. Precisely what went to Syria, and what has happened to it, is a major issue that needs to be resolved." The report was further corroborated by CIA satellite photos showing fleets of trucks moving from Iraq to Syria during February and March 2003. A Syrian journalist named Nizar Nayuf defected to the West in January 2004. He claimed to know of three locations in Syria where Saddam's WMDs were buried in February 2003.
US officials have repeatedly warned Syria that their covert support of the terrorists in Iraq will not be tolerated. Syria has consistently worked against the Coalition and against the formation of a new democracy in Iraq. They provided safe haven for former members of Saddam's regime and have probably been hiding Saddam's WMD arsenal all along. If Bashar Assad has allowed terrorists to acquire some of it, things will go very badly for him... and in the very near future.

Pop quiz: Who recently said the following?
"This war makes millions of dollars for big corporations, either weapons manufacturers or those working in the reconstruction [of Iraq], such as Halliburton and its sister companies...
"It is crystal clear who benefits from igniting the fire of this war and this bloodshed: They are the merchants of war, the bloodsuckers who run the policy of the world from behind the scenes.
"President Bush and his ilk, the media giants... all are a fatal danger to the world..."
Was it a) Osama bin Laden, b) John Kerry, c) a MoveOn.org ad, d) Robert Byrd or e) Ted Kennedy?
The answer, of course, is a) Osama bin Laden. But why was it so hard to choose, if you didn't already know the answer? Has anyone noticed that America's worst enemies and leading Democrats are starting to sound alike? Last week Ted Kennedy, Bobby Byrd and Moqtada al-Sadr all used the same troop-demoralising line about Iraq being Vietnam to attack President Bush. Can you imagine the Republicans quoting Emperor Hirohito or Adolf Hitler during the 1944 election campaign? Perhaps they could have quoted Prime Minister Tojo, when he said in 1942, "America that is suffering repeated defeats is trying to cover its mortal blow by relying on vicious propaganda and is in a desperate condition trying to cover the rising criticism within the country and to preserve the right of neutral countries." Would attacking the President using the enemy's words have won over the American people in 1944? Would telling US troops that they were fighting a war for immoral reasons, that they were bound to fail, and that their commander-in-chief was a terrible person have won the election?
Certainly not then, and I hope it doesn't now.

When I saw the theme for Make My Monday this week I was pleased, then spotted the dreaded words 'clean and simple' which isn't really my chosen style. I decided that while the floral bouquet stamp by Chocolate Baroque was out I would use it again but in a different way. I've had this stamp plate for quite a while but to my shame this the first time I'd actually used that particular stamp - shame really because it is so pretty. I cut a mask out of thin card using a Spellbinder die and coloured through it using distress inks before stamping the flowers in black - a simple stamped sentiment and the CAS floral card is done. Do take a look at the various ideas made by their design team - lots of ideas there.
The sunshine seems to have deserted us for now and it is dull, grey and very wet this morning so you can probably guess what I will be doing today.- once I've tidied away the stray ink pads, stamps and so on which seem to be cluttering my working space.

Results of an early clinical trial found that a partial-onset seizure treatment, ADS-4101 (modified-release lacosamide) tablets, are safe and well-tolerated when compared to Vimpat, an approved but immediate-release version of the medication, Adamas Pharmaceuticals reports. The modified formulation may allow for once-daily dosing.
The results, from a Phase 1a study, were presented at the recent 14th Antiepileptic Drug and Device Trials Conference.
ADS-4101 is being developed as a high-strength lacosamide capsule designed to be taken at bedtime, so as to deliver optimal concentrations of the medicine during the day when seizures primarily occur.
The trial compared the safety and drug properties profile (pharmacokinetics) of four 400 mg oral formulations of ADS-4010 with Vimpat — a twice-daily oral form of lacosamide for partial-onset seizures, marked by UCB — in 24 healthy volunteers. The study also aimed to select an ADS-4101 formulation to be tested in further clinical trials.
At the conference, Adamas reported that all four formulations of ADS-4101 were safe and well-tolerated when compared to Vimpat. The results also showed that single 400 mg doses of ADS-4101 were better tolerated than the equivalent dose of Vimpat.
The most common adverse events experienced by participants were dizziness and oral hypoesthesia (reduced sense of touch or sensation).
All four ADS-4101 formulations were also seen to have a slower rise and prolonged time to maximum plasma concentrations — 15 hours— compared to Vimpat tablets.
Based on these results, Adamas started a new Phase 1b study.
This study will assess the tolerability and profile of three doses of ADS-4101 (200, 400 and 600 mg) given once daily at bedtime, compared to ascending twice-daily doses (100, 150, and 200 mg) of Vimpat. Twenty-four healthy volunteers will be treated for three weeks. The trial aims to establish the pharmacokinetic limits of the dose levels of ADS-4101 and Vimpat tablets, as well as the safety and tolerability of ADS-4101 compared to Vimpat. Results are expected this year.
ADS-4101 is a modified-release formulation of lacosamide, an active ingredient with anti-epileptic properties. Vimpat was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in September 2014 and in the European Union in December 2016 to treat partial-onset seizures in adult and adolescent patients with epilepsy.
“With this positive data in hand, coupled with our understanding that epileptic seizures primarily occur during the day, we have advanced our program to evaluate three ascending doses of ADS-4101 in healthy volunteers,” Rajiv Patni, MD, chief medical officer of Adamas Pharmaceuticals, said in a press release. “The ongoing Phase 1b steady state study is designed to establish the dose and titration schedule of ADS-4101 given once daily at bedtime. We look forward to topline data from this study in the third quarter, with the goal of advancing to clinical studies in epilepsy patients following a meeting with FDA.”
“We have successfully confirmed our hypothesis that the rapid initial rise in blood levels contributes to the adverse event profile of lacosamide, allowing us to advance ADS-4101 forward in clinical development,” Gregory T. Went, PhD, chairman and CEO of Adamas Pharmaceuticals, said. “The goal of this program is to achieve higher levels of lacosamide throughout the day, when we believe patients with epilepsy are most prone to seizures, with similar or better tolerability than Vimpat (lacosamide).”
The post Modified-Release Lacosamide, ADS-4101, Seen as Safe and Well-Tolerated in Phase 1 Study appeared first on Epilepsy News Today. | <urn:uuid:cf96bc36-8c1a-43a4-9c89-2cb08c91f4a3> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://bionewsfeeds.com/2017/05/26/modified-release-lacosamide-ads-4101-seen-as-safe-and-well-tolerated-in-phase-1-study/ | 2017-11-24T13:01:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808133.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124123222-20171124143222-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.940921 | 818 | [

Learn how to manage your new Starter & Bronze Package website. Both of these packages use the Divi Framework which can be a bit confusing if you are used to the normal WordPress environment. The page builder allows us to make complicated layouts with ease and allows us to build websites in a short period of time. It also allows us to present you with an affordable website solution for your business.
What the builder is and why we use it on our smaller websites
A page builder is a WordPress plugin that lets you easily build and edit grid based pages without messy shortcodes. A WordPress plugin can be seen as a piece of software that we install on our websites.
Interfaces are more intuitive and usually, includes great basic features.
This means we can provide feature-rich and unique content manager websites at a fraction of the price compared to traditional content managers.
Minimize maintenance costs as there are fewer plugins that need security updates.
Page builders are very labour intensive and are not recommended for large websites.
On a small, scale the builder allows us to create and change complicated layouts that are difficult to do on a normal WordPress website.
The builder has a lot of features but is also very limiting. For this reason, we only use it for our basic and cheaper website packages.
The builder can be overwhelming but it also makes it easy for our clients to update their text, images, and galleries.
Remember: Just because you can change the design, does not mean you should.

Welcome to our blog! I've been meaning to write our first blog post for weeks now but as you can imagine, getting set for the big move has been crazy!
For starters, we currently live in the burbs in Oakville, Ontario and both just recently moved back to this home town of ours after finishing school down town Toronto and in London, Ontario. We were looking for interesting jobs, something to spice up our lives and found an ad in the classifieds of our local paper. To make a long story short we applied for a job, got the job, and are now moving to Iqaluit to work as a bakery supervisor and a general merchandise supervisor at Northmart. As of now we plan to be there for two years and will fill you in if that changes. We have lists and lists of things to do and see and are incredibly excited about them!
Matthew and I have had so many loved ones to say good-bye to and even more shopping and researching to do. To be honest, neither of us have even started packing yet. I do however have a designated "packing area" that my wonderful mom set up for me in her dining room. The dining room table is pushed up against the wall with all of my toiletries, non perishable foods, and way too many accessories on top of it. All of my clothes have been neatly folded and are sitting on the dining room chairs waiting patiently to be sorted and packed away.
Getting ready for this trip started out as a huge excitement as I searched any information I could find on Iqaluit, Nunavut. Stores, pass times, people, blogs! It was an Internet scavenger hunt. Blogs have been my saving grace. Especially a blog belonging to Jaime, shout outs, because everything of value that I know about travelling to Nunavut has come straight from her blog at http://newnavut.blogspot.com/. She lived in Nunavut for four years and recently moved back to the South. My greatest hope is that Matthew and I will be able to follow in her foot-steps and keep the details from the North coming for anyone else who wishes to transplant to Iqaluit.
The other night we had a bon voyage dinner with my dad's side of the family. They were wonderful to us! We got all sorts of much needed accessories... tampons, q-tipps, dryer sheets, brita filters, stamps, burned dvds, and a small stash of chocolate to name a few, along with so so much love! Tonight we had our final family dinner with Matt's family... which also served as my last farewell to East Side Mario's Cheese Capaletti. During dinner Aunt Janet gave us battery powered heated socks! Which I'm guessing will come in incredibly handy. Family is by far the hardest thing for us to leave behind.
My mind is so all over the place! We've been editing, crossing off and re-writing packing lists for months. I think my list is finally down to a few essentials that Walmart has inconveniently been out of stock of, and a few things that I plan to order off the net when we arrive at our new apartment in Iqaluit. Of course all this running around and stress has pushed Matt (who has been playing 'Melissa's personal driver') to near snappage.
The worst part of checking off things on the packing lists has been hunting down cat carriers to take on the plane! Who would have thought? We hit up the two biggest pet stores in Oakville and Mississauga, Rens Pet Depot and Petsmart and neither had a cat carrier that fit Air Canada's specifications. (10.5 inches high and soft sided - and the hard sided carriers have to be an inch and a half shorter than that!) We spent an hour on hold waiting for an Air Canada representative, hoping that she would tell us they would be lenient by an inch but alas, no such luck. She read us the sheet of details that we had already read over a hundred times off of their website. Eventually we found one! for $45.99 at Ryan's Global Pet foods. They even had someone bring over a second carrier from their other location and we got to pick it up the same day. For the trouble we've gone through I pray all will go well with my babies Jack and Sadie on the flight. After reading Jaimes blog, I knew I couldn't go through the nervousness of having my cats in cargo, so I am hoping with every ounce of my being that they are quiet and well behaved while stowed under our seats.
We are taking the cats as our carry ons and taking two suit cases each. Matt is a huge hockey fan so will be having his equipment shipped up to us and I am an avid baker and cake decorator so will probably ship some essentials to myself, along with all the fantastic things I picked up on my Costco shopping spree the other day.
Our flight leaves on the 19th, so wish me luck as I attempt to cross off the last items on my check lists and to-do lists and pack pack pack.
With love from... Oakville, for now. | <urn:uuid:bf8965c3-1b62-494f-a19e-2dcf003976bc> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://melissadanielledavis.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/getting-ready-for-nunavut.html | 2017-11-25T07:48:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809695.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125071427-20171125091427-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.97805 | 1,065 | [

Before your Eyelash Extension appointment:
~Inform your lash stylist of any allergies or irritants.
~Avoid wearing eye makeup to your eyelash appointment. Remove mascara, eyeliner, and other eye makeup before- hand. Although the lash stylist will have eye cleanser on hand, removing eye makeup can be time-consuming and take away from your lash extension application time. It is also highly recommended that you also remove any make up and moisturizer under the eye. Your lash stylist will utilize a gel pad to secure your lower lashes during the application of your new lash extensions and make up or moisturizer can inhibit the gel pad from adhering to the skin properly.
~Avoid caffeinated products. Such products may put you in an agitated state preventing you from laying still and relaxed during your appointment.
~Remove contact lenses. Bring a contact lens case and saline solution to your appointment in the event your are not comfortable keeping them in with your eyes closed for possibly up to 2 hours (depending on the type of lash extensions you are receiving).
~Remember to put your cell phone on silent. Your lash appointment should be relaxing. Any interruptions from cell phones can cause your eyes to flutter if you are not completely relaxed. | <urn:uuid:caae6453-ea48-4a9c-b285-26b60391c572> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://bellafacesdesignstudio.com/faq/before-your-appointment/ | 2017-11-18T08:14:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804680.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118075712-20171118095712-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.942547 | 255 | [

What is the Glaucoma Unit?
The Glaucoma Unit of Innova Ocular IOA Madrid is managed by Dr. Aitor Fernández García, and has the aim of diagnosing and treating glaucoma that is currently the second cause of preventable blindness in the world. As it is a disease that, in most cases, is unknown by the patients who suffer it, the correct diagnose and suitable prevention are primary objectives of this unit.
For this reason the Glaucoma Unit of Innova Ocular IOA Madrid tries to raise awareness among the population of the importance of this disease through prevention campaigns and free eye pressure tests.
At Innova Ocular IOA Madrid we have the latest diagnostic and therapeutic means as well as the latest micro-surgical techniques to treat glaucoma. | <urn:uuid:78e73d36-1a80-4f8f-84a3-5d4868bdf7fe> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://ioamadrid.com/en/specialties/glaucoma-unit | 2017-11-19T21:57:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119210640-20171119230640-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.918278 | 183 | [

- House panel plans a contempt vote on Attorney General Holder next week
- Holder offers to turn over requested documents on Thursday
- Committee chairman says Holder's offer, if fulfilled, would postpone the vote
- Documents involve the botched "Fast and Furious" gun-running sting operation
The chairman of the House Oversight Committee said Friday he would postpone next week's scheduled vote on a contempt measure if Attorney General Eric Holder fulfills his offer to turn over more documents on the botched "Fast and Furious" gun-running sting operation.
Holder made the offer to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-California, a day earlier. It is the latest development of a long-running dispute over the panel's investigation of the Fast and Furious program.
In a two-page letter to Issa on Thursday, Holder promised to provide documents he has so far refused to turn over and also proposed a face-to-face meeting by Monday.
Issa responded Friday with his own letter, saying Holder's offer would be sufficient to postpone the vote scheduled for Wednesday on a measure citing Holder for contempt.
"While I do have substantial concerns that these documents may not be sufficient to allow the committee to complete its investigation, delivery of these documents before the scheduled consideration of contempt at 10:00 am on Wednesday, June 20, 2012, would be sufficient to justify the postponement of the proceeding to allow for the review of the materials," Issa wrote.
Issa said he also wants to meet with Holder and Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, another leading critic of the Fast and Furious program, as soon as Tuesday. Both Issa and Grassley have been demanding information from Holder's department on the program.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives launched Operation Fast and Furious out of Arizona to track weapons purchases by Mexican drug cartels.
However, it lost track of more than 1,000 firearms that the agency had allowed straw buyers to carry across the border, and two of the lost weapons turned up at the scene of the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent.
Issa and Grassley have accused Holder and other top Justice Department officials of withholding requested documents and misleading them about when they first learned of the program.
In response to Issa's letter Friday, Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said department officials "are pleased that Chairman Issa has agreed to our request to meet next week and we look forward to a productive session."
"It is in the best interest of all parties to bring this matter to a final resolution by avoiding a confrontation that involves contempt, and we believe that the provision of documents must be part of an agreement that brings this matter to a close," Schmaler's statement said. "We trust that Chairman Issa shares our interest in doing so and will work with us in a productive and good faith manner to achieve that end."
The documents Holder offered to share include details of how the Justice Department's knowledge of the gun-running probe "evolved throughout 2011" and how it came to retract a February 2011 letter that denied senior officials knew of improper tactics in the botched sting.
"The department's understanding of the facts underlying Fast and Furious became more developed, particularly as evidence came to light that was inconsistent with the initial denials provided to department personnel," Holder wrote Thursday. "Over time, department leadership came to recognize that Fast and Furious was fundamentally flawed."
Justice officials and Issa's committee have been battling for months over the materials, with Issa accusing the attorney general of stonewalling the investigation into Fast and Furious. The Justice Department says it already has handed over more than 7,000 pages of records to House investigators, and says the remaining material Issa wants could jeopardize criminal prosecutions.
Holder fended off a call for his resignation Tuesday at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, when Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, accused him of misleading Congress over the Fast and Furious program. Holder called Cornyn's complaint "almost breathtaking in its inaccuracy" and added, "I don't have any intention of resigning." | <urn:uuid:fa280c1b-2ef2-44b4-9d09-b733fa824100> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/15/politics/holder-contempt/index.html | 2017-11-19T22:40:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119210640-20171119230640-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.964382 | 822 | [

Over the past two weeks, I’ve gotten married, got a new job in a new grade, and was named the head softball coach. My life is full of firsts right now and I am loving it. I am going to be teaching 5th grade at Central. This is where I went to school k-12 so I am super pumped about it. I am also super pumped about the fact that even though I am changing from first to fifth, I have taught fifth before and am pretty familiar with the curriculum. We are getting Go Math! for our new math series. I have heard mixed reviews but I am going with a positive attitude about it. I posted a similar post a few weeks ago and the board decided not to do the transfers until about two weeks ago. I thought I don’t want to jinx myself so I removed it, but now it is official and I am ready to move rooms, get organized, start planning…WOW I think I need to get busy! Not to mention wash, dry, fold, and put away the clothes from the honeymoon, write down the 60+ gifts we received at the wedding, write 200+ thank-you notes, etc. etc. AH I am very blessed! Oh and the softball job…my sweet daddy has already cut the grass several times for me and I worked today for about and 1 1/2 using what we call the Mennonite tool to get the grass off the edges of the infield. I am busy busy girl.
Please leave a comment if you know any upper elementary blogs. I am going to miss my first grade blog friends so much.

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/349,745 filed Jan. 17, 2002.
This invention relates to improved impact resistant vinyl chloride polymer compositions. More specifically, this invention relates to polyvinyl chloride impact modifier compositions comprising blends of hydrocarbon rubber and chlorinated polyethylene.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is widely used in both its rigid and flexible forms in such applications as films, siding, sheets, pipe and tubing. Because rigid PVC is a hard, brittle thermoplastic polymer, it is often mixed with a modifier to form a composition that is less prone to failure on impact. Known PVC modifiers include polyacrylic resins, butadiene-containing polymers such as methacrylate butadiene styrene terpolymers (MBS), and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) resins. For example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,006,889 and 3,209,055 the use of a broad range of chlorinated and chlorosulfonated polyethylenes in blends with PVC is disclosed. These modifiers form small rubbery microdomains when mixed in PVC compositions that improve the impact resistance of these compositions.
Hydrocarbon rubbers such as ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymers have advantages over the aforementioned modifiers in that they are low density, have excellent stability at PVC processing temperatures (e.g. 170-210° C.) and are UV resistant. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,925,703 Betso et al. teach the use of linear ethylene/alpha-olefins to improve impact performance of filled thermoplastic compositions, including polyvinyl chlorides. However, the use of these hydrocarbon rubbers as impact modifiers for rigid PVC applications has been hampered by the fact that the small rubbery microdomains have not formed in the size range for effective impact modification when the hydrocarbon rubbers are mixed in PVC compounds.
More recently, impact modifiers that are mixtures containing chlorinated polyethylenes and other polymers have been disclosed. As an example, Aono et al., in Japanese Published Patent Application No. 7-11085, disclose the use of a mixture of a chlorinated polyethylene prepared from a polyethylene of molecular weight 50,000 to 400,000 and AES resin (acrylonitrile-EPDM-styrene), optionally in combination with other polymers, as an impact modifier for PVC. Further, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,124,406 Cinadr et al. teach that blocky chlorinated polyethylenes can be used to compatibilize hydrocarbon rubber and PVC to give a PVC composition with improved impact resistance. The Cinadr patent also teaches that randomly chlorinated polyethylenes, such as Tyrin® chlorinated polyethylene, are ineffective as compatibilizers due to poor interfacial adhesion between the PVC and hydrocarbon rubber. The Cinadr patent teaches PVC compositions containing 0.5-10 parts wt. of the blocky chlorinated polyethylene and 1-10 pts.wt. of a polyolefin elastomer per 100 pts.wt. of PVC. Similarly, Mitsubishi Kasei Vinyl KK in Japanese Published Patent Application No. 2-45543, disclose vinyl chloride resin compositions containing 1-10 parts wt. of a chlorinated polyethylene and 1-10 pts.wt. of an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer per 100 parts of the vinyl chloride resin.
We have found that the impact strength of vinyl chloride resin compositions can be improved by the use of an impact modifier compostion comprising an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer and a chlorinated olefin polymer at specific concentrations and ratios of modifier. We have also found that there is a maximum benefit when the impact modifier composition is 2-8 parts per 100 parts of the vinyl chloride polymer. The best results are found when the ratio of the ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer to the total modifier composition is less than 25%. We have also found that the impact resistance is related to the gloss, or smoothness of the surface of the PVC article. As gloss decreases, it is suspected that surface irregularities cause break points that cause the impact strength to decrease.
The present invention is specifically directed to improved polyvinyl chloride compositions having excellent impact strength. In particular, the impact resistant composition comprises a vinyl chloride polymer and 2-8 parts of an impact modifier composition comprising at least one ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer and at least one chlorinated olefin polymer per 100 parts of the vinyl chloride polymer. Preferably the impact modifier composition comprises less than 1 part of the ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer and the ratio of said copolymer to the total modifier composition is less than 25%.
The impact resistant compositions of the present invention comprise a vinyl chloride polymer and an impact modifier composition comprising a hydrocarbon rubber, and a chlorinated olefin polymer.
The vinyl chloride polymer component is a solid, high molecular weight polymer that may be a polyvinyl chloride homopolymer or a copolymer of vinyl chloride having copolymerized units of one or more additional comonomers. When present, such comonomers will account for up to 20 weight percent of the copolymer, preferably from 1-5 weight percent of the copolymer. Examples of suitable comonomers include C2-C6 olefins, for example ethylene and propylene; vinyl esters of straight chain or branched C2-C4 carboxylic acids, such as vinyl acetate, vinyl propionate, and vinyl 2-ethyl hexanoate; vinyl halides, for example vinyl fluoride, vinylidene fluoride or vinylidene chloride; vinyl ethers, such as vinyl methyl ether and butyl vinyl ether; vinyl pyridine; unsaturated acids, for example maleic acid, fumaric acid, methacrylic acid and their mono- or diesters with C1-C10 mono- or dialcohols; maleic anhydride, maleic acid imide as well as the N-substitution products of maleic acid imide with aromatic, cycloaliphatic and optionally branched aliphatic substituents; acrylonitrile and styrene. Such homopolymers and copolymers are commercially available from Borden Chemicals and Plastics and Shintech. They may also be prepared by any suitable polymerization method. Polymers prepared using a suspension process are preferred.
Graft copolymers of vinyl chloride are also suitable for use in the invention. For example, ethylene copolymers, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, and ethylene copolymer elastomers, such as EPDM (copolymers comprising copolymerized units of ethylene, propylene and dienes) and EPR (copolymers comprising copolymerized units of ethylene and propylene) that are grafted with vinyl chloride may be used as the vinyl chloride polymer component. A commercially available example of such a polymer is Vinnol® 550, available from Wacker Chemie GmbH.
The chlorinated olefin polymer component of the compositions of the invention is selected from the group consisting of a) chlorinated polyethylene homopolymers and b) chlorinated copolymers that contain copolymerized units of i) ethylene and ii) a copolymerizable monomer. The chlorinated olefin polymer may optionally include chlorosulfonyl groups. That is, the polymer chain will have pendant chlorine groups and chlorosulfonyl groups. Such polymers are known as chlorosulfonated olefin polymers.
Representative chlorinated olefin polymers include a) chlorinated and chlorosulfonated homopolymers of ethylene and b) chlorinated and chlorosulfonated copolymers of ethylene and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer selected from the group consisting of C3-C10 alpha monoolefins; C1-C12 alkyl esters of C3-C20 monocarboxylic acids; unsaturated C3-C20 mono- or dicarboxylic acids; anhydrides of unsaturated C4-C8 dicarboxylic acids; and vinyl esters of saturated C2-C18 carboxylic acids. Chlorinated and chlorosulfonated graft copolymers are included as well. Specific examples of suitable polymers include chlorinated polyethylene; chlorosulfonated polyethylene; chlorinated ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers; chlorosulfonated ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers; chlorinated ethylene acrylic acid copolymers; chlorosulfonated ethylene acrylic acid copolymers; chlorinated ethylene methacrylic acid copolymers; chlorosulfonated ethylene methacrylic acid copolymers; chlorinated ethylene methyl acrylate copolymers; chlorinated ethylene methyl methacrylate copolymers; chlorinated ethylene n-butyl methacrylate copolymers; chlorinated ethylene glycidyl methacrylate copolymers; chlorinated graft copolymers of ethylene and maleic acid anhydride; chlorinated copolymers of ethylene with propylene, butene, 3-methyl-1-pentene, or octene and chlorosulfonated copolymers of ethylene with propylene, butene, 3-methyl-1-pentene or octene. The copolymers may be dipolymers, terpolymers, or higher order copolymers. Preferred chlorinated olefin polymers are chlorinated polyethylene and chlorinated copolymers of ethylene vinyl acetate.
The chlorinated olefin polymers and chlorosulfonated olefin polymers suitable for use in the impact resistant compositions of the invention may be prepared from polyolefin resins that are branched or unbranched. The polyolefin base resins may be prepared by free radical processes, Ziegler-Natta catalysis or catalysis with metallocene catalyst systems, for example those disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,272,236 and 5,278,272. Chlorination or chlorosulfonation of the base resins may take place in suspension, solution, solid state or fluidized bed. Free radical suspension chlorination processes are described and taught in U.S. Pat. No. 3,454,544, U.S. Pat. No. 4,767,823 and references cited therein. Such processes involve preparation of an aqueous suspension of a finely divided ethylene polymer that is then chlorinated. An example of a free radical solution chlorination process is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,591,621. The polymers may also be chlorinated in the melt or fluidized beds, for example as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,767,823. Chlorosulfonation processes are generally performed in solution but suspension and non-solvent processes are also known. Preparation of chlorosulfonated olefin polymers is described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,586,363; 3,296,222; 3,299,014; and 5,242,987.
Hydrocarbon rubbers such as ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymers are copolymers of ethylene with at least one C3-C8 alpha-olefin (preferably an aliphatic alpha-olefin) comonomer, and optionally, a polyene comonomer, e.g., a conjugated diene, a nonconjugated diene, a triene, etc. Examples of the C3-C8 alpha-olefins include propene, 1-butene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene. The alpha-olefin can also contain a cyclic structure such as cyclohexane or cyclopentane, resulting in an alpha-olefin such as 3-cyclohexyl-1-propene (allyl-cyclohexane) and vinyl-cyclohexane.

The ethylene/alpha-olefin polymer components of this invention can be produced using any conventional ethylene/alpha-olefin polymerization technology known in the art. For example, polymerization of the ethylene/alpha-olefin polymer may be accomplished at conditions well known in the art for Ziegler-Natta or Kaminsky-Sinn type polymerization reactions. The ethylene/alpha-olefin polymer components of this invention may also be made using a mono- or bis-cyclopentadienyl, indenyl, or fluorenyl transition metal (preferably Group 4) catalysts or constrained geometry catalysts. Suspension, solution, slurry, gas phase, solid-state powder polymerization or other process conditions may be employed if desired. A support, such as silica, alumina, or a polymer (such as polytetrafluoroethylene or a polyolefin) may also be employed if desired.
Inert liquids serve as suitable solvents for polymerization. Examples include straight and branched-chain hydrocarbons such as isobutane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane, and mixtures thereof; cyclic and alicyclic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, cycloheptane, methylcyclohexane, methylcycloheptane, and mixtures thereof; perfluorinated hydrocarbons such as perfluorinated C4-10 alkanes; and aromatic and alkyl-substituted aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene, xylene, and ethylbenzene. Suitable solvents also include liquid olefins that may act as monomers or comonomers including butadiene, cyclopentene, 1-hexene, 4-vinylcyclohexene, vinylcyclohexane, 3-methyl-1-pentene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1,4-hexadiene, 1-octene, 1-decene, styrene, divinylbenzene, allylbenzene, and vinyltoluene (including all isomers alone or in admixture). Mixtures of the foregoing are also suitable. If desired, normally gaseous olefins can be converted to liquids by application of pressure and used herein.
The impact resistant compositions of the invention will generally comprise 2-8 parts by weight of the impact modifying composition per hundred parts by weight of vinyl chloride polymer. Preferably, the impact modifying composition contains less than 25% hydrocarbon rubber.
The impact resistant compositions of the present invention are physical blends of polymers and do not require crosslinking or vulcanization in order to be useful as commercial products. The compositions can additionally contain fillers. Particularly useful fillers include silica, clay, titanium dixide, talc, calcium carbonate, and other mineral fillers. Calcium carbonate is preferred. The compositions can additionally contain other compounding ingredients such as stabilizers, blowing agents, lubricants, pigments, colorants, process aids, plasticizers, crosslinking agents and the like. The use of such additional components permits the compositions to be tailored for use in various applications, for example rigid PVC siding, pipe and profiles such as windows, fencing, decking and electrical conduit. Particularly useful compounding ingredients include tin, lead and calcium/zinc stabilizers, polymethylmethacrylate process aids, and hydrocarbon, ester, or amide waxes. If compounding ingredients are utilized, they are generally used in amounts of from 0.1-30 parts per hundred parts vinyl chloride resin, depending on the type of additive.
The impact resistant compositions of the present invention are particularly useful in the manufacture of PVC siding, profiles, sheets, and pipes.
The invention is further illustrated by the following embodiments wherein all parts are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
A PVC composition was prepared in a Mitsui Mining Company Henschel mixer according to the following procedure: 100 parts Shin-Etsu Chemical TK-1000 PVC was added to the mixer and the contents were heated until the temperature reached 113° F. (45° C.). Then 0.5 parts of STANN™ ONZ-100F tin stabilizer was then added and blending was continued. When a temperature of 140° F. (60° C.) was reached, 0.5 parts of Luwax®OA2 Powder oxidized polyethylene wax, 0.5 parts of Luwax®A powder polyethylene wax, 0.5 parts of SAK-CS-P® calcium stearate, and 0.5 parts of Luvax® 2191 paraffin wax were added. Blending was continued until a temperature of 149° F. (65° C.) was reached, wherein 1.8 parts of Tyrin® 3600P chlorinated polyethylene was added followed by addition of 0.2 parts of Engage® 8842 ethylene-octene copolymer. Blending was again continued until a temperature of 185° F. (85° C.) was reached. The speed of the mixer was lowered to the minimum and the mixer was cooled externally. When the temperature of the mixture reached 122° F. (50° C.), the composition was removed and approximately 6000 g was collected.
The composition was processed on a laboratory scale counter-rotating, conical twin-screw extruder (Toyoseiki 2D20C). The screws were 3 cm tapering to 2 cm, vented, and with a L/D ratio of 20:1. A 15 cm sheet die with an adjustable gap set at approximately 1.5 mm was used. Zone 1 was the feed section of the extruder and was set at 170° C., Zones 2 and 3 were the middle and end of the extruder, set at 180 and 195° C., respectively. Zones 1-3 had air-cooling capability. Zone 4, which was the die, was set at 195° C. The extruder revolutions/minute (RPM) was set at 90.
The compound powder was introduced via a separate feed hopper with a feed screw that was controlled to give 74 g/min output, and the sheet was drawn down with a take up unit to produce a sheet with a final width of 15.5 to 16 cm.
The impact resistance of the sheet was determined using a BKY-Gardner USA, Inc. Gardner-SPI® Modified dart impact tester. Twenty representative samples coloring at −10° C. were impacted by falling weight 8-lb, die and die support. The nose of the punch was 1.27 cm in diameter. The inside diameter of the die was 1.63 cm. The fixed weight was dropped from various heights and the energy that caused 50% of the specimens tested to fail was measured. The calculated mean-failure energy for Example 1-1 was 152 kg-cm.
A PVC composition was prepared in a Mitsui Mining Company Henschel mixer according to the following procedure: 100 parts Shin-Etsu Chemical® TK-1000 PVC was added to the mixer and the contents were heated until the temperature reached 113° F. (45° C.). Then 0.5 parts of STANN™ ONZ-100F. tin stabilizer was then added and blending was continued. When a temperature of 140° F. (60° C.) was reached, 0.5 parts of Luwax®OA2 Powder oxidized polyethylene wax, 0.5 parts of Luwax® A powder polyethylene wax, 0.5 parts of SAK-CS-P® calcium stearate, and 0.5 parts of Luvax® 2191 paraffin wax were added. Blending was continued until a temperature of 149° F. (65° C.) was reached, wherein 2.0 parts of Tyrin® 3600P chlorinated polyethylene was added. Blending was again continued until a temperature of 185° F. (85° C.) was reached. The speed of the mixer was lowered to the minimum and the mixer was cooled externally. When the temperature of the mixture reached 122° F. (50° C.), the composition was removed and approximately 6000 g was collected.
The PVC composition was processed in an identical manner to that of Example 1-1 and tested under identical conditions to Example 1-1 for Gardner impact resistance. The impact resistance of this comparative example was 149 kg-cm.
Results are shown in Table 1. The compositions of Examples 1-1 through 1-5 have 2 parts total modifier per 100 parts PVC. Likewise, Examples 2-1 through 2-4 have 3 parts total modifer per 100 parts PVC, and so on. The Comparative Examples show modifier compositions having only chlorinated polyethylene.
The examples of the invention demonstrate improved impact performance relative to the comparative examples. Furthermore, there is a maximum in the impact performance for examples of the invention where the ratio of the ethylene-octene copolymer to the total modifier composition is less than 25%.

Ong Bak 2
Bak 2 stars Tony Jaa, martial artist extraordinaire and even though it
almost plays like an Asian film made for the West, it actually delivers
in some areas and fails at others. A sequel to the original film, Ong
Bak 2 is set in ancient Thailand, more specifically during the early
and opens with a great scene of a man and a young boy fleeing from an
This evil is unfortunately the monarchy of the
day and age and
for some reason, they wish to have Tien, the young boy enslaved.
Eventually Tien enrages his captors and in an almost comedic scene, he is
thrown into a pit of crocodiles where he must fight for his.
he is saved by Chernang, an outlaw who seems more Robin Hood than Ned
Kelly and over the years, he trains Tien to become a powerful warrior
which is where Tony Jaa comes into the picture. This of course leads Tien on a mission of revenge through some wonderful choreographed fight
scenes and amazing cinematography.
In terms of story, Ong Bak
2 is a little convoluted at times and some plot lines and scenes are not
fully explored which is a shame because the action is definitely up
there with the best of them.
might be thinking where does this fit with the original movie? Ong Bak 2
is basically a prequel. Although not as good as the original
(slightly), the fighting and spectacular stunts is thoroughly
impressive, especially the scene where Tien is running across the backs of Elephants. The martial arts choreography is also quite
this is what martial art movies should be about, not CGI but real-life
decent video and audio quality, Ong Bak 2 is definitely a cinematic
movie experience and if you're after a martial art film that you can sit
back, relax and watch with a bucket of popcorn, than Ong Bak 2 is for
you. However if you are after a more story driven tale that makes sense,
than unfortunately Ong Bak 2 is a little misguided in this aspect which
is a shame.
still enjoyed it and I fear most others will as well!

The folks over at SPACIOUS recently posted about eye gazing parties and it reminded me of a time when I spent a week practicing eye gazing with total strangers.
Here’s what I wrote:
I love this “eye gazing” exercise suggested by Timothy Ferris in The Four Hour Work Week:
“For the next two days, test gazing into the eyes of others—whether people you pass on the street or conversational partners—until they break contact.
1. Focus on one of their eyes, not both, and be sure to blink occasionally so you don’t look like a psychopath or get your ass kicked. It’s not sustained eye contact, it’s too infrequent blinking, that makes people feel uncomfortable.
2. In conversation, focus on maintaining eye contact when you are speaking. It’s easy to do while listening.
3. Practice with people bigger or more confident than yourself. If a passer-by asks you what the hell you’re staring at, just smile and respond: ‘Sorry about that. I thought you were an old friend of mine.’”
This exercise is part of Tim’s idea that you can, “…condition yourself to discomfort and overcome it.” I love it for its contribution to helping me condition myself to discomfort. (This is a larger project I’ve been working on for years, only recently becoming aware of it. More on this soon!)
I also love it for the unexpected effects I experienced from practicing it.
For one thing, I noticed that it helped me to “focus” my interactions. When I spoke with someone, I looked at them and was less likely to be distracted by other things in my environment. Sometimes I left an interaction with a cashier, at my favorite local café for example, feeling really connected. As if I just had a chat with a good friend when all I did was order a drink. Seeing as how connectedness is a basic human need, it felt awesome to have that need met with minimal effort in an unlikely place.
I also often had the sense that I positively contributed to their experience as well. Maybe this is because people who are in customer service positions are often dealing with folks who are technologically distracted.
“I’ll have a latte. Oh my god, I can’t believe he said that. What? Yeah, tall. No was talking to the cashier guy. What a jerk. No your boyfriend, not the cashier. Oh, to go.”
Even though it seems like a simple thing, ordering coffee or a similar activity, it means a lot more than we think to really be present in doing so. Plus it opens up all kinds of possibilities.
Which was the other thing I found when I incorporated “eye gazing” into my routine human interactions. People, totally strangers, talked to me more and smiled at me more frequently. One woman, for example, just felt comfortable enough to ask me if I thought she’s poured herself about a cup of quinoa from the bulk bin, after I made eye contact with her and excused myself for being in her personal space as I scooped out some nutritional yeast. And there’s that satisfying human connection happening again.
I know it’s just quinoa, but it feels good to talk to people as if you share a friend level of comfort with them. And to feel as if you aren’t just an atomized, insular being zipping through your day, trying not to bump into anyone.
The final effect was that I projected a sense of confidence that may not have been truly on par with how confident I felt. You know the old saying, “fake it ‘til you make it.” Through practicing “eye gazing” self-confidence started to rise up in me as if from the ether.
Will you take Tim's challenge? Eye dare you. | <urn:uuid:75d7bab3-a1fe-45ac-9ea1-05ffb599ecb4> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://hindsightwrites.blogspot.com/2013/02/conditioning-yourself-to-discomfort-eye.html?showComment=1362381516958 | 2017-11-23T01:51:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806715.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123012207-20171123032207-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.970177 | 830 | [

Straight from antislavery.org's website:
State-sponsored forced labour, particularly of children, underpins the cotton industry in Uzbekistan. Each year, schools are closed down for the duration of the cotton harvest and children, some as young as ten years old, are forced to pick cotton by hand for little or no pay. Children who refuse to work or fail to meet their targets are punished by beatings and can be threatened with expulsion from school. Human rights groups estimate that up to 200,000 children are involved each year.

Katie Holmes is quite clearly devoted to her daughter Suri - and now the actress has revealed she is "open" to the idea of having more children in the future. Speaking candidly in a recent interview, the actress - who split from husband Tom Cruise in June 2012 - said she would consider expanding her family one day.
"I don't know. I'm open to it," the star told Allure magazine as she spoke about her plans for the future, which interestingly might also include a complete career change.

There are numerous reports in the media at the moment that Katie is considering a move into law. And she didn't dismiss the idea when asked. "Well my brother and father are attorneys, and - we'll see. I like the practical thinking of attorneys."
While the thoughtful star didn't speak about her high-profile split from Tom, she said she hoped 2013 is "a peaceful year for a lot of people".
"When you look back on the last year, there were a lot of tragedies - Hurricane Sandy, the Conneticut shooting," she said. "I just hope it's a good year for everyone".
The beautiful brunette, 34, also revealed the best beauty advice her mother has ever given her - "You may be pretty, and you may be talented, but nobody will remember that if you are mean" - and also the top beauty tip she will pass on to Suri - "To find happiness in everything."
Meanwhile, a friend of Katie and Tom, 50, recently revealed that the pair are both "incredibly happy" post-split. The Hollywood power couple shocked fans when they announced they had separated nine months ago after five years of marriage. But according to Tom's friend and Rock of Ages director Adam Shankman, they are doing really well.
"They are incredibly happy," he told US Weekly. "I've just been emailing with him. He's coming back. He's shooting (All You Need Is Kill) in London and seems as happy as a clam. I know he sees his daughter.
"Katie seems really happy," he added. "You just fight through all the noise, And it's noisy!" | <urn:uuid:85574a0d-8c2f-4f23-b2db-e145d47a2dad> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://us.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2013031911670/katie-holmes-talks-more-children/ | 2017-11-23T20:44:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806939.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123195711-20171123215711-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.99043 | 457 | [

PowerPoint Tip: Making Accessible Slides
Last year I worked on a project for my publisher, Prentice Hall, that was interesting and highly informative. The topic was how to make PowerPoint presentations accessible to those who have hearing or sight impairments. It is a requirement on some college campuses and we would all do well to be aware of some of the ideas in order to be able to make our messages accessible to everyone in our audiences.
In today's article, I want to share some of the key techniques for making your PowerPoint slides accessible. Not only will these ideas help when you have someone who is visually or hearing impaired in your audience, but in many cases the suggestions will make your slides clearer for everyone.
First, pay attention to the design of your slides. Make sure you have selected colors that have enough contrast. Someone who has trouble seeing needs a high degree of contrast between text or shapes and the background. Use the Color Contrast Calculator to check the contrast of the colors you select. Use sans-serif fonts that are at least 24 points or larger so they can be easily seen.
Next, make your content clear to your audience. Two ideas from my upcoming book work well here. One is to create a meaningful headline for each slide instead of a generic topic title. A headline tells the key message of the slide and makes it easier to understand. Next, use callouts on visuals to make the point clear. Someone who is hearing impaired can't hear where you are asking others to look on a slide, so use a callout to direct everyone's attention.
When your presentation is going to be delivered to someone who is hearing or sight impaired, you should also give them a version that contains what you will say on each slide. To capture your commentary, use the Notes section of the slide and fully describe what you want to say on that slide. Describe any visuals with context and meaning. Elaborate on text bullet points. Include a transcript for any media clips along with a description of the setting and context for the clip. For animations that show a specific movement, describe the movement fully. To see if your explanation is clear enough, read the explanation to someone who has their eyes closed and see if they can correctly tell what the slide looks like and means.
The next step is to create a document that hearing impaired people can read and sight impaired people can have read to them using screen reader software. The easiest way to do this is to use the PowerPoint feature to Send the presentation to a Word file (found on the File menu in PowerPoint 2003 and in PowerPoint 2007 it is Publish Create Handouts in Microsoft Office Word on the Office menu). Select the format that has the slide image at the top of the page and the Notes underneath the image. You will now create a document that others can read or listen to and get the full meaning of your presentation.
With PowerPoint presentations becoming more of a standard way to communicate information of all types, we need to keep in mind that our first responsibility is to our audience. We need to use the ideas above to make sure that we make our presentation accessible for everyone. | <urn:uuid:19dd92f9-48cd-4232-a1b9-55b029d09113> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.thinkoutsidetheslide.com/issue-151-january-22-2008/ | 2017-11-23T20:29:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806939.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123195711-20171123215711-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.933868 | 635 | [

This is what I call a happy, blessed family.
Well no, I have not found the lyrics to "Down Syndrome Girl". Have you by chance seen them? If so, please pass it on to me.
Many people have been so kind to send a news article to me from The New York Times : Art Beat. It is an interview conducted with the actress who performed the voice-over for the character Ellen with Down Syndrome in the most recent, controversial Family Guy.
Based off of this article, I think that the actress is great! She is articulate and expresses her opinions very well. She is an inspiration and is proud to play the characters that she has been ask play. Andrea Fray Friedman is a 39 year-old actress who just happens to have Down Syndrome. She sheds her thoughts on the Family Guy episode from Sunday titled "Extra Large Medium". Confused? Please read post from earlier this week.
I would really like to hear about your insight into the episode seeing as I am somewhat conflicted. Feel free to either comment directly onto the blog or you may email me: [email protected] | <urn:uuid:93e48f57-85b1-4a88-93d3-9c7d51e5dc27> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://ellietheurer.blogspot.com/2010/02/actress-comments-on-family-guy-episode.html | 2017-11-18T09:58:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804724.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118094746-20171118114746-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.968789 | 231 | [

“Why does everything you know, and everything you’ve learned, confirm you in what you believed before? Whereas in my case, what I grew up with, and what I thought I believed, is chipped away a little and a little, a fragment then a piece and then a piece more. With every month that passes, the corners are knocked off the certainties of this world: and the next world too. Show me where it says, in the Bible, ‘Purgatory.’ Show me where it says ‘relics, monks, nuns.’ Show me where it says ‘Pope.’” –Thomas Cromwell imagines asking Thomas More—Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel

George remembers a poster on the wall in a stairwell of his high school that read, “Who you are is a matter of how you spend your time.” Was there a picture with it? It was just a generic sentiment, of a type he would encounter again and again in the capacity of elevator serviceman for public schools. His school, though, was a private, Catholic one. And now the idea of one’s identity as a function of spent time strikes him as bourgeois, predicated as it is on one’s freedom to choose how to spend that time. At the time, insofar as he paid the poster any attention, he considered it a truism, too obvious to need pointed out. So, he wonders now, is identity itself a luxury, what biologists would call costly signaling? Perhaps the blue collars are closer to the mark when they implicitly take as the more crucial matter that of worth rather than identity. They play their worst life game, at once complaining and bragging about all the responsibilities they have to shoulder, because they’re desperate to establish beyond dispute their indispensability. A man can spend all his time doing things that are interesting, and he himself might even be interesting as a result—an intricate and profound personage—but what’s he ultimately worth? Or a man can devote his days to toil, providing for his dependent and spendthrift wife and his ingrate children, never complaining (except when he does), and he’s worth the world to the company he works for and the family he supports.

The hack is called "Take the One-Question IQ Test," and I'll get to the question after some preliminaries. For one thing, conventional wisdom must be dispensed with regarding a couple of matters. The first is that IQ is a fixed feature. In fact, there's pretty solid evidence that people's IQ's can change. It can even change depending on such daily factors as how much sleep you've had. The second common misconception is that the more intelligent you are the more likely you are to be the brooding and moody type.
The authors cite a study called "Is Ignorance Bliss? A Reconsideration of the Folk Wisdom," by Lee Sigelman. The main finding is that high intelligence tends to coincide with low anomia, which in Mindhackers is defined as "a feeling that life sucks and other people are to blame for it, so you're better off without them" (333). And other research has shown the ability to appreciate humor tends to be correlated with several important elements of intelligence.
Now the question, which the authors found in Robert Anton Wilson's essay "Stupidynamics":
Does the world seem to be getting bigger and funnier all the time? If it does, then you're intelligence is steadily increasing.
Does the world seem to be getting smaller and nastier all the time? If so, your stupidity is steadily increasing.
The hack is to use this question (questions) as a "mental thermometer" to guide what you're doing. If you're busy doing something and your answer to the question is smaller and nastier, then you need to do something else--change your behavior. They give lots of advice on what else to do, referring to other hacks. They're fans, for instance, of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. But the test alone speaks volumes to me--maybe because I so often laugh at something only to have other people look at me like I'm crazy.

I get spam emails asking me if I’d be willing to campaign for this or that political candidate. They always make me think for a minute: I have strong political views; I believe electing officials with certain beliefs is bad for the country; so maybe I should campaign.
But the fact is campaigns are a disgraceful business. Citizens shouldn’t need to be chased down and bombarded with marketing and PR gimmicks. It’s their duty as citizens to research the candidates and the issues on their own and to vote for the one they decide will best represent them.
This is naïve, I know. We have been trained by the media our whole lives. We want first to be entertained, second to be uplifted, and third to be told how great we are. When it comes to making decisions, we don’t want to have to take any active part in discovering the best course of action. We want to sit back and be allowed to play as passive a role as possible. We’re not looking to be convinced or persuaded—we’re looking to be sold.
In the past two weeks, I’ve gotten around fifty calls from some company whose purpose is to get donations on behalf of charities who hire them. It turns out Doctors without Borders hired them. And since I’ve donated to this cause in the past they see me as a good target for their campaign. But all the other times I donated I simply went online and entered an amount, without getting a single call. Since I’ve been getting calls, I haven’t made a donation.
I go to Sears and buy socks. Not a single brand offers any guarantee that they weren’t manufactured in sweat shops. Then I get to the register and I’m bombarded with more marketing. This is called POS, or point of sale marketing. “Would you like to save 15 percent by signing up for…?” No, I just want to buy some fucking socks.
So many companies are vying for our attention and trying to squeeze money out of us that civic and economic life in this country can no longer deal with actual ideas or values. Every encounter is based on strategies and every strategy is contingent on some number it generates.
As we’re fatted on entertainment and passivity, businesses and political parties continue running their focus groups and assessing campaigns, figuring out better and better ways to parasitize us. And we sit cheering on our favorite football team.

Do the sciences of human behavior as practiced and understood in the Twenty-First Century have anything of value to contribute to the study of literature? Will the application of theories arising from the fields of evolutionary psychology and evolutionary anthropology to literary works yield anything beyond one more perspective in the seemingly endless succession of momentarily fashionable approaches to literary scholarship? Or is the scientific exploration of human behavior itself hopelessly incapable of transcending the culture in which it is undertaken? And, assuming any ultimate verdict on the value of evolutionary theories of literature is at present impossible to render, might they nonetheless shed some light on issues posing difficulties for other theoretical approaches? For instance, what accounts for centuries of readers’ sympathy toward characters who are on the surface meant to serve as villains? Milton’s Satan is a classic example of this phenomenon, while Palahniuk’s Tyler Durden is a more contemporary one. Are reader’s strong feelings on behalf of these antagonists understandable in terms of evolutionary theories of human behavior? And, if so, what does that suggest about the nature of human interest in fictional narratives like Paradise Lost and Fight Club?
William Flesch, in his book Comeuppance: Costly Signaling, Altruistic Punishment, and Other Biological Components of Fiction, theorizes that humans’ passion for fictional narratives emerges from a predilection for monitoring one another for signals of their capacity for cooperative relationships. Humans naturally favor conspecifics who prove themselves capable of setting aside their own rational self-interests to act on behalf of others or on behalf of the larger group to which they belong. And they demonstrate their own altruistic tendencies by favoring other altruists and punishing those who would take advantage of them. Does the character Satan in Milton’s epic poem somehow signal to readers that he is altruistic? And is there some type of underlying message about cooperation in the seemingly senseless violence in Palahniuk’s novel?
Flesch, however, leaves another dimension of evolutionary psychology unexplored, one which could provide much insight into the appeal of both Milton’s and Palahniuk’s stories. Anthropologist Christopher Boehm explores the human propensity toward forming hierarchies in his book Hierarchy in the Forest: The Evolution of Egalitarian Behavior. It turns out that, contrary to conventional wisdom, humans in foraging bands similar to those they have lived in for the vast majority of their time on earth are strictly egalitarian. Indeed, most contemporary hunter-gatherers would, with little prompting, express support for Satan’s famous line about it being better to reign in hell than to serve in heaven. And they would likely recognize many of the group dynamics Tyler Durden manipulates to gain ascendancy among the members of the fight clubs—as well as the ultimate necessity of having someone end his reign.
The theoretical foundation established by Flesch can likely support considerations of male competition for status, since one of the conditions thought necessary for the evolution of cooperation among humans is a relative absence of hierarchical behavior. One common form of selfishness humans are vigilant of in their neighbors is a strong motivation to dominate others. When a person, or a fictional representation of one, acquires influence incommensurate with others in the group, those other group members can be counted on to pay close attention to the way that person yields his (or less often her) power. If it turns out to be for the benefit of the group, the higher status individual will continue to have the support of the group. If it is to further selfish gains, the lower-ranking group members will usually act collectively to bring an end to his dominance. And this dynamic plays out in stories told by hunter-gatherers and writers in more complex societies alike.
This project will explore the central characters of Paradise Lost and Fight Club in an attempt to illuminate readers’ feelings toward them. In particular, it will focus on Milton’s Satan and Palahniuk’s Tyler Durder, and will examine the way in which they are portrayed in search of recognizable signals of either selfishness or altruism. Such an exploration might also yield insights into how Boehm’s theories of human hierarchical or egalitarian proclivities can be integrated into the approach to literature set out by Flesch. | <urn:uuid:9415a219-8e34-4533-9813-d330ceb30d62> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://readingsubtly.blogspot.com/2011/09/ | 2017-11-19T04:46:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805362.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119042717-20171119062717-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.959594 | 2,301 | [

Welcome! This is Domain Movers. We focus on corporate domain name transactions and report these early findings to you. The following is a very small sample of these transactions over the past 24 hours.
The domain name transactions represent domain name upgrades for brands, services, products etc. They also indicate new advertising and marketing efforts and much more. Here are the latest Domain Movers:
Time Inc. launches PetHero.com. DotWeekly broke the news on Time Inc. acquiring the domain name on July 12, 2017 here and August 7, 2017 PetHero was announced. The company has launched a stand alone website on PetHero.com that offers discounts on vet bills, seasonal boxes of toys & treats and more.
Target Brands, Inc. has acquired two domain names. ExpresslyTarget.com and TargetToo.com. Both domains have been registered since September 2013. One was registered on the 19th and the other on the 20th. Both were under whois privacy at GoDaddy since being registered.
Motorola Solutions, Inc. acquired PushToTalk.net on the drop in May 2017 with the help of CSC. Sprint Communications owns PushToTalk.com
Disney Enterprises, Inc. registered a new domain, DisneyUnitedGames.com, adding to the 22,300+ domains they already own.
NVIDIA LTD, which owns about 400 domain names, registered ShotWithGeForce.com. Nvidia makes computer graphics cards and also offers the GeForce Experience, which allows users to game and capture screenplay or livestream. To note, graphics cards are also used for bitcoin mining, which often creates shortages (out of stock) of the graphics cards.
London Borough of Newham (UK Government email address) has acquired EveryChild.com out of GoDaddy’s NameFind portfolio. The domain name held a buy now price of $7,999
Fiveo.com has been sold, also out of GoDaddy’s NameFind portfolio. This domain held a $4,999 buy now price. Buyers are currently unknown due to whois privacy.
Eventum Norge AS has acquired its EMD, Eventum.com at domain name aftermarket service Sedo.com. The domain has been registered since 1999 and was owned by Elk River Systems, Inc. prior. The domain sold in 2014 for $4,485 also at Sedo and appears to be when Elk River Systems acquired the domain. I was not able to find the recent sales price.
The website behind the Eventum.com domain name is already live, which displays event venues in New York. The company states that it has clients like Google, Microsoft, Ikea, Deloitte and more. Eventum.com is a mirror site of Eventum.no, minus the language change.
Smart Tie International has acquired its EMD at Sedo, acquiring SmartTie.com. This domain held a $3,500 buy now. Getting your brand name for $3,500 is a steal!
Skilltwins AB acquired its EMD also at Sedo, SkillTwins.com. The domain name is redirecting to a YouTube channel called SkillTwins that has about 2.2 million subscribers.
AFLAC after I announced yesterday about DuckChat.com/.net they have now registered several similar domains. Those were ChatWithTheAflacDuck.net, ChatWithTheAflalcDuck.com and ChatWithTheDuck.com/net. TalkWithTheAflacDuck.com/.net and TalkWithTheDuck.com/.net
GremlinAir.com and GremlinAirlines.com have been registered by a currently unknown MarkMonitor client using generic whois data. In no way would I fly in any plane with the name “Gremlin” as it’s often associated with “an unknown problem” to mechanical or electrical. Telepathy, Inc. owns the generic Gremlin.com domain name.
Viacom International Inc. has acquired OpenAP.com. The domain was acquired from its past owner, Jason Newby about March 21, 2017 and then the domain transferred to Dynadot under whois privacy protection. The domain has since transferred into brand protection service MarkMonitor and displays Viacom as the owners. Viacom is redirecting OpenAP.com to OpenAP.tv which is a website relating to TV’s Advanced Audience Platform.
TinklesTheDog.com has been registered by an unknown MarkMonitor client.
T-Mobile USA, Inc. registered several “Unlimited 55” domain names including the T-Mobile brand name and generic domains, Unlimited55.com and UnlimitedFiftyFive.com. T-MobileOneUnlimited55.com, T-MobileUnlimited55.com and TMobileUnlimited55.com are some other examples. The company owns about 3,700 domain names.
GAP Apparel LLC has taken ownership of WeddingtonWay.com. GAP acquired the company in December 2016.
DanubeRiver.com has been acquired from Top Notch Domains, LLC (Elliot Silver of DomainInvesting.com) by a currently unknown CSC Corporate Domains client. Danube is a river in Europe and services like Viking River Cruises offer river cruises on it. Viking may have been the buyer, as they are a CSC client and understand the value of generic domain names.
Viking River Cruises registered the domain name DoAsIDid.com
SquareSolutions.com has been acquired by a currently unknown CSC Corporate Domains client. The domain has been registered since 2004 and listed for sale.
SummerBay.com has been acquired by Seven Network Limited of Australia, a CSC client. The domain has been registered since 1999.
Olympus Corporation of the Americas has registered Wfoai.com, adding to the 270 domain names they currently own. | <urn:uuid:4e701739-feb9-4c58-b8ac-d74127f0393d> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://dotweekly.com/company-domain-movers-everychild-com-eventum-com/ | 2017-11-19T23:53:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805881.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119234824-20171120014824-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.95139 | 1,226 | [

In fact, as a couple we are notorious for killing plants. The bamboo plant Mark gave me for our first anniversary, dead. The tall, palm looking thing for my first mother’s day, dead. The mum to our house an autumn glow, which I was assured could be planted, dead. The white orchid Mark bought me for our third anniversary, dead. Well, and I’ve already told you about our tomato plant. Do you get the picture? We try, we really do. We continue to buy plants to brighten our home, and we continue to kill them. It's suggested that couples keep a plant before they try a dog, and that they definitely try a dog, before they try for a kid. We somehow got the order backwards, kids first, and thankfully, they have managed to survive ... unlike our plants. (No dog yet, or maybe ever).
Alas, as more and more people post pictures of their sprouting vegetables, we are again convinced that we can make it in the gardening world and have decided to try one more time. This summer we have planted herbs. Four simple little plants: basil, cilantro, rosemary, and parsley. We purchased each at Lowe’s for $4. We chose these four, because they are ones we’d heard a lot about before, though honestly, I wasn’t sure how we would practically use them all.
Since bringing them home two weeks ago, we’ve learned a few things. Though the tags indicate that they can take full sun, this is not true for the basil, cilantro, and parsley. All three have turned brown from an extended stay on the back porch, which receives our morning sun. My mother-in-law informed me they need morning shade and afternoon sun. They have since been moved to the front porch in hopes of preventing them from falling prey to our killing curse. The rosemary is hearty enough to stay in the back.
I have also learned what each of these herbs is actually used for. Basil was the easiest for me. I knew to put it on a salad with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, olive oil, and pepper. Delicious! If we don’t branch out at all with this herb this summer, owning it is worth it just for these occasional salads. Cilantro is for Mexican, who knew? A lot of people actually, but this is new information to me. We plan on improving our fajitas, guacamole, and tacos with this herb. Rosemary went on London Broil last night, and we're almost certain we were able to taste it. It can also go on pork and in certain chicken dishes. Finally, the parsley be used in Italian, though we forgot to use it on Wednesday's meal, even after discussing it. With these general parameters, we hope to expand our recipe collection by purposefully seeking ones that include our herbs.
Here’s our conclusion on the matter. Buying any of these herbs fresh in the grocery store will cost $2.60 (Food Lion), so if each herb is used only twice this summer, we’ve still broken even. Also, Lowe’s has a great return policy for dead plants, so if our notorious plant killing trend continues, our investments are insured. Finally, we’re hoping that owning these herbs will encourage us to be a bit more creative in our cooking. We do not have the time to make elaborate meals, so we stick mainly to grilling something delicious, with various fresh fruit and vegetables, and something a little heavier (brown rice, couscous, wheat pasta, sweet potato) on the side. Hopefully, these herbs will provide quick natural flavor to our relatively plain dishes.
I'm curious to know how you use these herbs in your cooking ... let me know!
Lesson Learned: It is possible and profitable to have a summer garden, even if it includes only four herbs. | <urn:uuid:e87d2fde-e2db-4cf0-8377-6344b03005d6> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://idonthaveacluebutimfindingout.blogspot.com/2012/04/lesson-3-manageable-home-gardening-one.html | 2017-11-20T19:05:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806124.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120183849-20171120203849-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.961967 | 818 | [

APPEAL from the Circuit Court of Peoria County; the Hon.
ALBERT PUCCI, Judge, presiding.
MR. JUSTICE STOUDER DELIVERED THE OPINION OF THE COURT:
Plaintiff-Appellee, Farmers Insurance Exchange, instituted this action for declaratory judgment against its insured Allen Ware, Defendant-Appellee, and Robert Meginnes, Defendant-Appellee. The complaint alleged in substance that Ware, the insured, had made a claim against plaintiff under the terms of the uninsured motorist coverage in the policy issued by plaintiff to defendant Ware. The basis of such claim was that Ware had sustained damage as a result of defendant Meginnes's negligent operation of his automobile, Meginnes not being insured at the time. Defendant Ware filed a third party complaint against the third party defendant-appellant, American Family Insurance Group, alleging that such third party defendant had issued an automobile liability policy to Meginnes as insured and that the same was in effect on the date of the event complained of. After full hearing before the court without a jury the court concluded that coverage was afforded by the policy issued by third party defendant, that Meginnes was not an uninsured motorist and therefore the uninsured motorist provisions of plaintiff's policy were inapplicable.
According to the testimony of Edmunds, admittedly the agent of American Family Insurance Group, a six month policy had been issued by American Family to Meginnes which policy expired on March 27, 1967. On that date the policy lapsed for non-payment of the premium for the succeeding period. On June 6, of the same year Meginnes was involved in an automobile mishap with Ware which is the underlying basis of this litigation.
According to Edmunds on June 7, 1967, Meginnes came to his office wanting his insurance to be reinstated and informed him of the incident occurring on the previous day. Meginnes wanted the policy reinstated as of June 5, in order to cover the accident which Edmunds indicated could not be done. In any event an application for reinstatement was completed in which the effective date of the policy was described as June 5, 1967. A check drawn by Mrs. Meginnes also dated June 5, 1967, accompanied the application.
On June 14, 1967, Edmunds received the "deck sheet" or "declaration" executed by his company and forwarded the same, after affixing his signature thereto, to Meginnes. Such document indicated the effective date of the policy to be June 5, 1967. Thereafter on June 28, 1967, a "corrected deck sheet" was forwarded to Meginnes through Edmunds indicating the effective date of the policy to be June 7, 1967.
It is the theory of appellant, American Family, on this appeal that the issuance of its insurance policy with an effective date of June 5, 1967, was the result of a mutual mistake of fact which conclusion was accepted and approved by its insured Meginnes by the latter's acceptance of and failure to object to the corrected policy issued by appellant.
It is the theory of appellees, Farmers Insurance Exchange and Ware, that the evidence fails to sustain the assertion of mutual mistake but on the contrary shows that the policy was issued with full knowledge of the facts, that no mistake was made unilateral or mutual and that appellant is and ought to be bound by the terms of its contract.
In reaching a decision of this case we have in mind the general rules that an insurance agreement like other contracts depends on the intentions of the parties and that defenses which an insuror may have against its insured are equally available against third parties. Furthermore where an agreement is reduced to writing such as in the case with an insurance policy, there is a presumption that such document represents the intentions of the parties. (Michigan Mutual Liability Company v. Type and Press Company, et al., 62 Ill. App.2d 364, 210 N.E.2d 787.) Although appellant has called our attention to Carroll v. Preferred Risk Insurance Co., 34 Ill.2d 310, 215 N.E.2d 801, the decision in such case is of no application to the case at bar since there is neither claim nor evidence of any fraud, non-disclosure or bad faith.
I.L.P. Insurance, Sec. 359 provides, "An insurance company cannot insist upon a forfeiture of a policy for a cause which was within its knowledge when the policy was issued, it being a general rule that the issuance of the policy by the company constitutes a waiver of a known ground of invalidity, and is equivalent to an assertion that the policy is valid at the time of its delivery, although the facts known to the company would otherwise render it void or voidable". See also National Union Fire Insurance Co. v. John Spry Lumber Co., 235 Ill. 98, 85 N.E. 256 and Scott v. Bankers Auto Insurance Association 224 Ill. App. 606, each holding that neither misrepresentation nor mistake were sufficient to invoke the equitable power of reformation where the agent had full knowledge of the facts subsequently relied upon in an endeavor to avoid liability.
Appellant relied principally upon the testimony of Meginnes called as an adverse witness in an effort to prove that the effective date of the policy was a mistake, that it was known to Meginnes, its insured, and accepted and approved by Meginnes. In our view the testimony of Meginnes is equivocal, has a minimal tendency to support the claims of appellant and falls far short of establishing as a matter of law any mistake either mutual or unilateral.
Because of impaired memory resulting from a service connected injury, Meginnes had no particular recollection of any conversation with Edmunds, the appellant's agent, at or about the time of the events described above on June 6 and June 7, 1967. According to his testimony he included appellant as his insurer in the report he filed with the State under the provisions of the Safety Responsibility Act and thereafter learned that appellant had disclaimed coverage thereby requiring Meginnes to provide other evidence of financial responsibility which he did. The failure of Meginnes to take any affirmative action against appellant after receiving the "corrected" declaration or notice of appellant's disclaimer of coverage is, appellant insists, conclusive evidence of acceptance and approval of appellant's position concerning mutual mistake. As in Sims v. Illinois National Casualty Company of Springfield, 43 Ill. App.2d 184, 193 N.E.2d 123, where the company has unequivocally denied coverage, an insured is neither required nor expected to comply with the provisions of the policy. In the case at bar no controlling significance can be attributed to the failure of Meginnes to consider the policy in effect where he had received notice that coverage was denied.
Of far more significance in the case at bar is the testimony of Edmunds, appellant's own agent. He not only admitted that Meginnes had told him of the accident occurring on the previous day and inserted June 5, 1967, in the application as the effective date of the reinstatement, but also indicated that he called his company's home office a few days later advising them of the circumstance. To compound that situation he countersigned the declaration when it was received from the home office and forwarded it to Meginnes. From such testimony it is difficult to infer that any mistake occurred but on the contrary the import of such testimony supports the conclusion that Edmunds, as agent of the company, intended that the reinstatement include coverage for the disclosed incident.
Michigan Mutual Liability Company v. Type and Press Company, et al, supra, presents a factual situation strikingly similar to the case at bar and supports our view that reformation of the policy was not ... | <urn:uuid:2f097c61-4df8-44ea-9399-d67f7ab6ecaa> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://il.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19710224_0000129.IL.htm/qx | 2017-11-22T09:36:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806543.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122084446-20171122104446-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.976553 | 1,592 | [

Passengers who top up their pay as you go credit or buy Travelcards using Oyster online can now collect their purchase from any Tube or rail station, tram stop or River Bus pier when they touch in, rather than having to nominate a station when they make the purchase.
The upgrade has also significantly reduced the time it takes for the product to be ready to collect - from up to 24 hours to just 30 minutes.
Improvements to Oyster
By the end of autumn, these improvements will also be expanded to allow products to be collected directly on all 9,000 London buses.
The improvements to Oyster will be followed by further upgrades to the system in the coming year.
Next month, the new TfL app will launch, allowing customers to top up their Oyster card with pay as you go credit and buy Travelcards wherever they are.
The new app, which will be available to download for free via the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, will allow customers to use their smartphone to quickly add pay as you go credit to their Oyster card.
It will also allow customers to check how much credit they have on their Oyster card and also provide, for the first time, a 'Low balance' alert direct on their mobile to help customers ensure they have enough pay as you go credit before they travel.
Throughout 2017 and 2018, further improvements to the Oyster system will also be introduced, including:
Expanding the Mayor's 'Hopper fare' to allow unlimited journeys on buses and trams within an hour Making Bus & Tram Pass season tickets available to purchase online and via the app
Introducing Weekly Capping on Oyster to bring it in line with Contactless
- Once launched, further functions will be added to the TfL app throughout 2017, including making it quicker and easier to apply for refunds for incomplete journeys, as well as viewing journey history for Contactless payments in Spring 2018
- In order to use the new TfL app, customers will need to have an Oyster online account. Customers with a first-generation Oyster card, which were predominantly issued prior to 2010, will also need to upgrade their Oyster card to one which has a "D" in the bottom left hand corner on the back of the card. For more information about this, please visit - tfl.gov.uk/first-generation-oyster
- TfL is currently contacting regular Oyster card users with a first-generation card through Oyster online to encourage them to upgrade their card prior to the release of the new TfL app

Police want to find a man who exposed himself to a 14-year-old schoolgirl while naked from the waist down.
The girl was walking home from school when the man, who was driving a red convertible car, approached her and started performing a lewd act.
The teenager ran home and the incident was reported to police.
It happened on Tuesday afternoon at around 3pm in Baker Drive, Wellesbourne, close to Stratford Road.
The offender was white with a slight tan, in his 20s, with very short brown hair and facial stubble, and appeared to be quite tall.
He was wearing a long-sleeved top, which was either blue or green, but was naked from the waist down.
The car is believed to have been quite new and clean with rounded headlamps.

People who are blind or have low vision may find it difficult to identify and organise money, particularly so that it is easy to locate specific amounts when shopping.
The following outlines various identification methods and strategies for organising coins and notes, so that people may continue to manage their money independently.
Coins can be identified by their shape, size, weight and edging.
Silver coins (20c, 10c and 5c) are milled and when you run a fingernail around the edges of these coins, the vibration of the nail is heard and felt. These coins increase in value with size.
The fifty-cent coin is easily identified by shape. It has twelve sides. Older fifty-cent coins have eight sides.
The one-dollar and two-dollar coins have edges that are both milled and smooth. When you run a fingernail around the edge, the vibration of the milled section is differentiated from the smooth section, which the nail slips over quickly.
The two-dollar coin has a mostly smooth rim alternating with small sections of milling. The one-dollar coin has a mostly milled rim, alternating with small sections of smooth rim.
These flat plastic holders hold five gold coins. The coins are held firmly and the holder fits easily into a pocket or handbag. The two-dollar holder holds a total of $10. The one-dollar holder holds a total of $5.
You can slide each coin out by using your thumb. See the image below which demonstrates how the coins fit into the plastic holder.
Notes can be identified by sight and by touch.
Notes can be identified by the bold numbers in the top right hand corner and also by their colour.
The 100-dollar note is predominantly green. The fifty-dollar note is yellow. The twenty-dollar note has reddish tones. The ten-dollar note is blue and the five-dollar note is pinkish/purple.
In Australia the notes become longer as they increase in value. The five-dollar is the shortest note. The 100-dollar note is the longest.
A 'Cash Test' is a small tactile device that can be used to identify notes by their length.
Organising your money
- The key strategy is organisation. Organise your coins and notes in good light before going shopping.
- Some people keep only five-dollar and twenty-dollar notes in their wallets and pay in multiples of these notes to the nearest $5 above the price of an item. This limits the change given to coins only, which may make it easier to check the amount of change.
- Put notes or coins of different denominations in separate pockets, or wallet or purse compartments. Consider using a purse or wallet with a number of separate sections for notes and for coins.
- Consider storing different denominations of bank notes either flat, or folded, which can make it easier to locate the amount you need when out shopping. | <urn:uuid:21ae4f03-6fe9-4276-abb9-1e1483f0a25c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.visionaustralia.org/learn-more/learning-to-live-independently/money/identifying-money | 2017-11-22T09:12:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806543.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122084446-20171122104446-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.938255 | 603 | [

For an eight-year old operating system, it now looks more complete than ever before. Whilst I don’t like to encourage extending the lifespan of an OS that should have retired long ago, at the same time I must commend the work of a noble grassroots effort who’s put together a neat resource replacement package called “XPize” now in its fifth and hopefully last version.
The goal of the “ize” projects including “XPize” and “Vize” for Windows XP and Vista respectively is to ensure consistent looking operating system by addressing all the UI quirks Microsoft didn’t. The screenshot above is just a sample of some of the graphics resource replacements XPize 5 implements.
The project now led and solely developed by David Rees who not long ago revived the project after it had become abandoned due to a lack of continued development also includes a completely new open-source resource-patching framework called Anolis, including but not limited to the awesome resource viewer Anolis.Resourcer. Although XPize is built with Anolis, it actually allows anyone to easily put together a resource-replacement package that can be safely installed on any version of Windows, 64-bit included.
Naturally, as the attention turns to Windows 7, David is already beginning work on, you guessed it, “Sevenize“. As a starting point, David hopes to address some of the still outstanding Windows 7 UI quirks published on the Windows 7 Taskforce. Of course if anyone is interested in contributing to the project, keep an eye out for the project website and forums (not yet set up).
And only on Windows can there be an ecosystem around fixing the operating system. 😉 | <urn:uuid:aef3c1b9-ced0-42d0-931e-b7f82851f7cf> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090727/xpize-masks-xp-ui-quirks-sevenize-to-come/ | 2017-11-23T03:39:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806720.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123031247-20171123051247-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.944301 | 354 | [

It’s not easy to eliminate it from your vocabulary. We’re conditioned to take on obligations that “should” lead to happiness (I should go to school. . . should make lots of money. . . should start a family. . . should buy a house). Meanwhile, all this shouldding all over ourselves creates huge demands on our time, and brings our youthful dreams to a screeching halt. Then one day we wake up and realize we are trapped in the “Someday Syndrome.”
We can all use some help finding our way back to our dreams, and Alex Fayle’s new book, “Someday I’ll Get Around To It” is the perfect place to start.
Alex is a “Someday-busting Coach.” He helps people dust off their dreams, sort them out, and create a plan for obtaining the life they really want. His new e-book, “Someday I’ll Get Around To It” shares his strategies for someday-busting.
In this 100-page workbook style format, we learn how to make conscious choices to create happier lives that more closely reflect our dreams. Alex walks us through ways to overcome inertia and understand our limitations and obstacles. We learn how letting go of control will free up time and enable us to achieve our goals. And finally, his useful worksheets in the back of the book will help us draft simple, doable plans to help achieve our dreams in step-by-step increments.
Because like Alex says, “In not pursuing your dreams, recognize that you are choosing not to pursue your dreams.” | <urn:uuid:99961dac-b315-4154-9c12-69ff8c7fde65> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.liveworkdream.com/2010/02/03/dont-wait-for-someday-live-the-life-you-want-now/ | 2017-11-23T03:29:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806720.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123031247-20171123051247-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.92376 | 352 | [

Publisher description for Vultee For FSX Or FS2004
You can fly from the 2D or 3D cockpits – there is little difference. For general flying, the virtual cockpit is the best because you can get a better view of the gauges. The Vultee was a fast, single-engined airliner of the mid 1930's. American Airlines was the main user. Version 1.1 is modified to work with FSX as well as FS2004. | <urn:uuid:e69ba0a7-608e-447a-bf4d-e021598b2b84> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.softpicks.net/software/Games/Miscellaneous/Vultee-For-FSX-Or-FS2004-211871.htm | 2017-11-23T04:09:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806720.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123031247-20171123051247-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.870305 | 140 | [

The last few visits to Nethergong have seen my very much pre-occupied with counting Willow Emerald Damselflies and searching for photo opportunities with male Southern Hawkers. I decided on my last visit to spend some time with the Emerald Damselflies which are very much in evidence here. It was only a few weeks ago on a visit that I saw my first Emerald Damselflies at Nethergong when I found a pair near each other. This was a new species for the site and it wasn't until my next visit that a search in the grasses produced an excellent number of this species. I wonder how many other sites have unfound dragonfly and damselfly species, I suspect there are a good number of species that have yet to be found at unwatched sites. It was nice to spend some time at leisure watching and photographing these attractive damselflies, each one being checked just in case the rarer Scarce Emerald Damselfly was present but I couldn't find any. Although I have photographed this species a number of times, one of my targets was to photograph a mating pair. I found a number of pairs hidden away in the edges of the reeds but most were out of reach or had most of the body obscured by reeds but eventually I found a few pairs which although were not in totally ideal positions, I was able to take a number of images. With a good number present this year, it certainly looks good for the future at this site if the habitat is maintained and continues the excellent number of species found on this superb little site.

Written by John Delono from Bitcoin Reviewer
Bitcoin’s valuation has been breaking all-time highs as the digital currency attracts investors, especially those from China.
Many people were first introduced to Bitcoin in April 2013, when the digital currency’s valuation reached an all-time high of $260. After the price fall, investors began to doubt whether or not Bitcoin would ever reach the same peak. Bitcoin has recently set a new record, trading at $750 on the Japan-based Mt. Gox.
It is clear that China is one of the main reasons behind the price surge. On BTC China, the largest Chinese Bitcoin exchange, Bitcoin has been trading around 6780 CNY (over $1000 USD). This is nearly twice the price on non-Chinese exchanges, such as Mt. Gox or Bitstamp.
Bitcoin has been picking up steam very recently in China. Chinese internet giant Baidu has announced plans to accept Bitcoin for some of its services. A new era of online Bitcoin gambling has been developed, enabling players to try their luck online in poker rooms, and dice games with ease. Bitcoin has even been advertised on Chinese state-run television channels.
So why is Bitcoin so popular in China? The government has cracked down on virtual currencies in the past, such as Tencent’s QQ coin.
It seems that the Chinese government wants to embrace Bitcoin, rather than reject it. Bitcoin’s pseudonymous and decentralized nature make it extremely difficult for governments to regulate. Rather than regulating the virtual currency, it’s clear that China has other intentions.
In the future, Bitcoin could have massive financial implications for the world economy. It could be used for trading between countries, as a store of value, or even a replacement for existing fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar. A country which controls a large amount of the currency could eventually have a huge economic influence.
As a result, Chinese investors are beginning to realize how useful Bitcoin actually is. As a digital asset, it can be used as a store of value, or an investment vehicle. It can be very lucrative to trade Bitcoin for profit, despite the fact that the currency is very volatile and unpredictable.
Many Chinese consumers are using Bitcoin to make online transactions, as an alternative to PayPal. It’s very easy to setup and start using Bitcoin, since it doesn’t require any personal information or a bank account.
Already, Bitcoin is making massive changes throughout the world. Digital payment systems, such as Africa’s M-pesa mobile money platform, are allowing consumers all over the world to take control over their finances. Brick and mortar shops and restaurants are even beginning to accept Bitcoin as a way to avoid credit card processing fees.
Bitcoin certainly has the capability to change the way people use money. A government which takes advantage of the currency in its early stages may have a huge financial advantage in the future. The future is definitely bright for Bitcoin, and its users. | <urn:uuid:75595c77-c7ac-4a58-8184-e17222578e00> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-growing-in-china/ | 2017-11-24T16:17:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808260.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124161303-20171124181303-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.957317 | 629 | [

Here’s our quick-reference garden glossary containing all the terms you need to know when growing tomatoes.
for Starter Pots
Acidic Soil: Soil with a pH value higher than 7.0 (pH>7) is considered alkali and can be neutralized (pH of 7 being neutral) by addition of an acid (pH<7). Soil with a pH of higher than 10 (pH>10) is considered very alkaline. Alkalinity is caused by an increase in sodium compounds or sodium carbonates, which often occur as soil minerals break down. Alkaline soil has a low water infiltration capacity which means water tends to pool or stagnate on the surface. Alkaline soils can be neutralized or acidified by the addition of organic materials such as peat moss and compost or inorganic soil amendments such as sulfur which lower the soil pH. Gypsum is often used to “condition” alkaline soil because it improves the soil structure and water infiltration capacity while replacing the sodium in the soil compounds with calcium as it breaks down.
Alkaline Soil: Soil with a pH between 7.0 and 14. To lower soil pH add sulfur.
Beneficial Insects: Insects that eat or lay their eggs in other insects thereby controlling them. Used in this country since the late 1880′s they are the best known form of biological control. Learn more about beneficial insects here.
Biological Pest Control: Using living organisms such as beneficial insects or parasites to destroy garden pests.
Chlorosis: A yellowing or blanching of the leaves due to lack of chlorophyll, nutrient deficiencies or disease.
The information on this site includes everything you need to know when growing tomatoes. Can’t wait to get started? Choose from a large selection of heirloom seeds (non-GMO) available at Planet Natural. Planting instructions are included with each packet and shipping is FREE!
Companion Planting: The sowing of seeds in the garden in such a way that plants help each other grow instead of competing against each other.
Compost: The end product of the decomposition of organic matter and biodegradable materials by aerobic and anaerobic microbes is known generally as compost. Compost is nutrient rich since during the decomposition process the larger organic compounds are broken down into their basic elemental particles that are easier for plants and other organisms to absorb. Compost serves as a great growing medium for agricultural and horticultural purposes as well as a soil conditioner. This dark brown to black soil/mulch can be easily made in the kitchen or back yard in a compost container or the more traditional pile form. Visit our Composting Guru page for more information.
Container Gardening: Growing plants in pots and planters instead of in the ground.
Crop Rotation: The planting of a specific crop in a site different from the previous year. Rotating crops is especially critical to preventing disease and insects from getting a foot hold on certain vegetables you might plant.
Determinate: Tomato variety that produces most of their fruit all at once and grows to a limited size. Also known as bush tomatoes.
Direct Seeding: Sowing seeds directly in the soil where they are to grow, rather than transplanting seedlings.
Fertilizer: An organic or synthetic material added to the soil or the plant, that is important for its nutrient value.
Foliar Fertilizer: A fertilizer applied in liquid form to a plant’s foliage in a fine spray so that the plant can absorb the nutrients through its leaves.
Frost Date: The average yearly date that the last or first frost of the year occurs.
Fungal Disease: Respiratory and skin diseases resulting from inhalation or direct contact with fungal spores in soil and compost. Overly wet soil (40% water) and compost are the usual causes of respiratory fungal diseases such as “farmers’ lung.” Symptoms usually occur 4-6 hours after exposure and are flu-like with a high fever and aches lasting for 12 hours or more. Skin infection may result in rashes and sores.
Hardening Off: The process of acclimatizing plants grown under protection, in the greenhouse for example, to cooler conditions outdoors.
Heavy Soil: Dense soils made of silt and clay that are often very fertile but require soil amendments to improved structure as well as oxygen and water penetration.
Heirloom: Seed with desirable qualities that have a history of being passed down over many years and many generations.
Hybrid: Seed produced by artificially cross-pollinating two different varieties.
Indeterminate: Tomato variety that continues to grow and set fruit throughout the growing season. Also known as vining tomatoes.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM): An effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. This information, in combination with available pest control methods, is used to manage pest damage by the most economical means, and with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment.
Macronutrients: The major elements essential for plant growth. The major plant macronutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K).
Micronutrients: Mineral elements which are needed by plants in small quantities.
Mulch: A soil covering used in gardening and agriculture to protect soil from the extremes of weather and climate by helping conserve soil moisture and moderating temperatures. Mulch helps soil retain water from rainfall and heat absorbed during daylight. It also protects soil against direct sunlight therefore keeping soil moist and cool during the hot summer months. Weed prevention is a major use for mulch. It both blocks sunlight to unwelcome weeds and smothers the seeds before they start. Mulch is also great for erosion prevention and protecting soil from the damaging aspects of heavy rains. Common materials used for mulch are: hay, straw, grass clippings, bark, sawdust, wood chips, newspaper, and cardboard. Rocks, gravel and plastic are also often used as mulch. If compost is used as mulch, it is necessary that it is fully composted and that all weed seeds have been killed; otherwise, it will actually contribute more weeds to the area. Click on Fall Mulching Tips to learn how to protect your plants and nourish your soil ahead of winter.
Nitrogen (N): A macronutrient used by plants to promote rapid vegetative growth.
Organic: A term used to describe certain agricultural and food production methods which do not use toxic fertilizers and pesticides, genetic engineering, synthetic hormone stimulation, antibiotics and other practices such as irradiation and the spreading of treated sewage. Farmers, food producers and processors must meet nationally regulated standards in order to be considered organic. Products such as fertilizers, soil amendments and pesticides must also meet federal guidelines if they are to be labeled organic and given the “USDA Organic” seal. There is some confusion with the term organic as an opposite of commercial. The proper antithesis to organic is chemical or synthetic since for instance both organic and chemical fertilizers are sold commercially.
Organic Gardening: The practice of growing fruits, vegetables, flowers and other plants without the use of chemicals or synthetic products. Organic gardening philosophies and techniques vary. Some believe in only using plants and products that occur naturally in the local environment. Others are more liberal using any product so long as it is organic and is not harmful. Still others consider organic gardening to be an integral part of sustainable living, taking in to account not only if the product is organic but if things such as the fossil fuels were used in shipping and the product’s effects on the local ecosystem. Generally organic gardening is the art of growing plants using organic products such as compost, natural soil amendments, natural pesticides, and beneficial microbes and insects. Visit our Organic Gardening Guru page for more information.
pH: The measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a substance or solution. Technically pH measures the activity of dissolved hydrogen within a substance. pH is a relative measurement with “pure” water being neutral at pH 7.0. A pH lower than 7.0 is considered acidic and a pH higher than 7.0 is considered alkaline or basic. Adding an alkaline to an acidic substance will raise its pH making it more neutral or alkaline. An acid added to an alkaline substance will lower the pH and make the substance more neutral or acidic.
Phosphorus (P): A macronutrient, or major nutrient, used to stimulate root systems and flowering.
Potassium (K): Used to promote overall plant vigor and development of healthy stems. Potassium is a macronutrient.
Season Extender: Techniques and equipment used to extend the growing season in both spring and fall. Examples include greenhouses, cold frames, hotbeds, row covers, and products such as Wall O’ Waters.
Soil Amendment: Any material added to soil to improve or change its characteristics. Soil amendments are utilized when physical properties such as structure, aeration, nutrient and water retention, and drainage need improvement. The main function of soil amendments is to provide a better environment for the roots so they can grow and absorb nutrients more easily. Compost is a common soil amendment as it improves soil structure and nutrients. Other common soil amendments are greensand, blood meal, bone meal, elemental sulfur, glacial rock dust, and various fertilizers.
Soil Test: Measuring soil for pH and N-P-K ratios, often done in labs or with home soil test kits. Soil tests are important in determining what plants work best in a specific native soil and for understanding any nutrient and pH deficiency soils may have. Gardeners often test their garden soil to optimize a its properties depending on the plants being grown. When deficiencies or nutrient needs are determined gardeners adjust the soils physical properties by adding various soil amendments.
Staking: Using a rod, stick or stake to support a plants stem.
Sucker: A secondary shoot that sprouts from the roots, stem or trunk of a plant and drains its energy.
Tilth: The physical properties and fitness of a soil for a specific plant or crop. Generally tilth means tilled earth, but to gardeners, it is the overall health or needs of a soil when growing certain plants. A soil with good tilth is easily worked, has a good pH and structure, and allows for maximum aeration, nutrient and water retention as well as easy root penetration. Soils deemed as having poor tilth can be improved with elemental soil amendments, compost, and fertilizers.
Top-dressing: Applying soil amendments or fertilizers on top of the soil around the base of plants after they have been planted.
Transplanting: Shifting of a plant from one soil or growth medium to another.
Worm Casting: Worm excrement that is nutrient-rich with excellent moisture retention often used as a natural fertilizer and soil amendment. Worm castings contain mucus that helps retain nutrients so they are not washed away during waterings or rain. They also stimulate microbial life within the soil, which aids decomposition and overall soil health. As a soil amendment, worm castings are often used not only for nutrients but also to improve soil structure and oxygen/water penetration.
Zone: Plant hardiness regions determined by the average annual minimum temperature.

Lots of homeowners sometimes find it hard to deal with the lack of area in a certain area. Many times, this could be associateded with the dimension of the room. Nevertheless, a specialist painter in McKinney could often make the room a little bit larger than its actual size. These tips develop the best painting company in McKinney will aid you tune your ideas in the direction of having a bigger-looking washroom despite the fact that it is actually small.
Apply bright colors.
The simplest means of making a small shower room show up massive is to use even more vibrant paint stains. This technique is frequently made use of by an expert painting service in McKinney. Light colors cause a reflective result in the area, thus making it really feel airy and extra open. In addition to this, intense shades aid in boosting of all-natural light’s pressure in the bathroom. As such, painting your little washroom with a more great shade is a simple trick to improving the appearance of the inside.
Preserve the exact same touch.
Despite the fact that it is a good idea to paint a brighter shade in your restroom, the entire space does not always need to get the very same shade of paint. A painter in McKinney can include other shades. Nevertheless, make certain that you maintain a comparable tone around the room, simply to be sure of getting a bigger feeling of it.
Because brighter shades in the restroom are great, setting up a dark colored flooring tile is not suggested. Try as much as feasible to keep near exact same tone all over because you would not desire the floor ceramic tiles to represent the real size of your area.
Mix the color of your wall surface to the color of ceramic tiles.
You could equate this to the previous suggestion. However, it is a truth that not every person likes the entire room coinciding shade. Do not be disappointed, for as lengthy as you blend in all your shades as well as you prepare to go. Mixing the color on your wall surfaces to the shade on the floor brings about a constant touch to space.
Comparable shades for both wall surfaces and also ceiling.
Arising designs show that painting the same shade on the roofing system as wall surfaces is a smart idea. Nevertheless, some washrooms have shorter heights, which is a disadvantage for this technique. For such chambers, white is the color to stay clear of at all prices unless you have walls painted white already. By applying the same color around the bathroom, someone who is not aware of the setting would constantly ask yourself throughout the space, providing you a huge feeling of the place.
Doors, home windows, as well as moldings.
Staining brighter shades do not just relate to the wall surfaces of the room, but also to other fixtures consisting of doors and windows. Stain your home window covers, moldings and also door trim with brighter colors to extend as well as broaden the washroom size.
With that said claimed, there exist some added McKinney painting ideas in order to help deceive the eye. Use a brighter color to the shorter wall as compared to the longer one if you have one wall much shorter compared to the various other. Extend the ceiling’s shade about fourteen inches below the roofing, in an arch-like form.
Money as well as area are not an obstacle anymore to making your area look and feel larger than it is. The suggestions talked about above put on every room, whether cooking area, shower room or living space, and these could be utilized by even an amateur painter in McKinney. Nevertheless, if you want only the most effective output, talk with the best McKinney painting contractor, the McKinney Painting Experts!Read More | <urn:uuid:5c294d95-4dca-488f-9d19-6f1e15c52192> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.faux-fur-vest.com/category/residential-painting/ | 2018-11-16T23:00:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743216.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116214920-20181117000243-00044.warc.gz | en | 0.961343 | 756 | [

Published: April 1 2017 2:56 pm SpaceX has focused most of its efforts and more than billion into developing technologies to recover the Falcon 9’s main section Related News Elon Musk’s SpaceX on Thursday salvaged half of the $6 million nosecone of its rocket in what the space entrepreneur deemed an important feat in the drive to recover more of its launch hardware and cut the cost of space flights Shortly after the main section of SpaceX’s first recycled Falcon 9 booster landed itself on a platform in the ocean half of the rocket’s nosecone which protected a communications satellite during launch splashed down via parachute nearby “That was the cherry on the cake” Musk who serves as chief executive and lead designer of Space Exploration Technologies told reporters after launch from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida Measuring 43 feet (13 meters) long and 17 feet (5 meters) in diameter the nosecone is big enough to hold a school bus It separates into two pieces exposing the satellite about 4 minutes after liftoff As a test SpaceX outfitted the fairing with thrusters and a steerable parachute “It’s its own little spacecraft” Musk said “The thrusters maintain its orientation as it re-enters and then … the parachute steers it to a particular location” SpaceX has focused most of its efforts and more than $1 billion into developing technologies to recover the Falcon 9’s main section which accounts for about 75 percent of the $62 million rocket Musk’s goal is to cut the cost of spaceflight so that humanity can migrate beyond Earth “I hope people will start to think about it as a real goal to establish a civilization on Mars” he said LANDING ON ‘BOUNCY CASTLE’ After some debate about whether the nosecone could be recovered Musk said he told his engineering team “Imagine you had $6 million in cash on a pallet flying through the air that’s just going to smash into the ocean Would you try to recover that Yes you would” Musk envisions deploying a kind of “bouncy castle” for the fairing to land on so it can be recovered intact and reused The company plans up to six more flights of recycled boosters this year including two that will strapped alongside a third new first-stage for the debut test flight of a heavy-lift rocket Originally slated to fly in 2013 Falcon Heavy is now expected to fly late this summer “At first it sounded easy We’ll just take two first stages and use them as strap-on boosters” Musk said “It was actually shockingly difficult to go from single core to a triple-core vehicle” SpaceX also may try to land the rocket’s upper-stage section a feat the company has never attempted “Odds of success low but maybe worth a shot” Musk wrote on Twitter on Friday Privately owned SpaceX also is developing a commercial space

More often than not, I get into conversations where people are passionately defending their limitations. Going into long stories that explain why they can’t have what they want and getting mad at the mere suggestion that things could be different.
I’m always getting people riled up!
It’s my job to suggest that things can be different and that your limitations are an old story that’s got to go. I know the power of opening up to possibility and the willingness to tell a new story while standing in the unknown. That’s where it all starts.
If you want to rule your world and have what you desire, you need to stop arguing for your limitations and start telling a new story.
The reality is that most people are so attached to the stories saying they can’t have what they want, it’s nearly impossible for them to imagine anything differently.
They find comfort in the idea that they are not smart enough, important enough, rich enough. It protects them from putting themselves out there and taking a risk.
You stay in the unsatisfying relationship. Keep the sucky day job rather than going for it in your own business. Play small in your life and let your dreams slowly fade away because that feels safer than pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone, taking a risk and telling a new story.
Even worse, you work up the courage to follow your dream and then you sabotage your progress by talking yourself out of your clarity and inspiration, belittling your ideas, and over analyzing and second guessing yourself into paralysis with “I don’t know…” falling from your lips. Talk about validating your belief that things aren’t going to work out for you. It’s an exhausting cycle to get caught in.
The way out of it is to face your fears head on and tell a new story. Let go of the past and step into a new reality where you get to have what you want and boldly rule your world.
Stop telling me all the reasons why your ideas won’t work and why you can’t have what you want.
Stop defending the bitches in your head that say you suck, aren’t enough and will never succeed.
Instead become an advocate for your dreams and desires. Defend your right to rule your world and have what you want. Pontificate about how awesome it is to be making your dreams come true. | <urn:uuid:2a9382b0-87d6-45b6-80d6-8ba03bd16415> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://leahshapiro.com/defending-your-limitations/ | 2018-11-18T04:04:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.956962 | 505 | [

Interview with SEO & Guest Blogging Expert Ann Smarty from Seosmarty.com
With Ann Smarty from SeoSmarty.com, I’m starting the much awaited interview series with Probloggers, SEO’s, Affiliate marketers and Entrepreneurs on Bloggers Passion. I used to read interviews of successful bloggers as I get inspiration from them and have lot to learn from their successes and failures.
With this interview series, I will be asking the questions that I had ever dreamed of and at the end of interview, Bloggers Passion readers are also invited to ask their questions from their favorite bloggers in the comments section.
Ann Smarty owns the most popular guest blogging community website MyBlogGuest.com where blog owners and guest bloggers interact with each other for mutual benefits. Ann started her career as SEO expert and currently working as a community manager at Internet Marketing Ninjas.
In her 7 years of experience, she has written for big brands like Moz.com, Search Engine Journal, Mashable and Social Media Examiner etc. She also owns SEOSmarty.com, a SEO consulting blog.
I’m feeling really honored as she accepted my interview request and gave good amount of time in asking the questions that I ask her. So sharing this interview question answer session with Ann Smarty with further delay:
First of all please tell us about yourself, your online portals and how you get into the blogging and SEO world?
I am Ann Smarty, founder of My Blog Guest and Community Manager at Internet Marketing Ninjas.
I come from Ukraine. I started in SEO about 7 years ago. It’s a funny story. I was in my final year in the university getting ready to stay in my university as a teacher, writing my diploma, all excited… and bored.
I felt like I needed a refresher, so I found a job as a customer support team member at an ecommerce shop that was targeting a US market. To me, that was a fun opportunity to talk to English-speaking customers and train my English language skills.
I quickly got excited with the whole ecommerce and SEO world. My employer started involving me into link building and content creation. I forgot about my plans to become a PhD in English linguistics and pursued the unknown career of an SEO. None of my family and friends could understood me. My mom thought I was crazy as she had loved my idea to become an English professor in the university…
Yet, what happened and I never looked back. I was building my career into digital marketing world and never had to look for a job since then.
Please share some thoughts about MyBlogGuest.com guest blogging community website that you own and how it is helping the bloggers? How you came to the idea of starting this website?
When I was an excited SEO blogger newbie, I started getting invites to guest post. In fact, one of my guest posts scored me a position of Editor in Chief at Search Engine Journal. So guest blogging worked out great for me.
I couldn’t help seeing the mutual benefits of guest blogging: an author gets recognition and free publicity while a blog owner gets free content and help in promoting and sharing it.
I was wondering why there was no place for the two parties to easily find each other. That’s how MyBlogGuest idea was born. Then my brother asked me if I had a project in mind for us two to do something together and I remembered my guest blogging project idea, so we started working on it together: I was coming up with feature ideas and marketing while he was developing. Our team has grown a lot since then.
These days lots of SEO’s and Link Builders have started using guest blogging primarily for link building purpose. According to you, how guest blogging should be used and in which direction guest blogging is moving?
I know guest blogging has been used by link builders a lot lately; I’ve never advocated using guest blogging for purely link building. The idea is, guest blogging for links is both misleading, anti-social (as it breaks the “mutual benefit” concept) and overall degrading.
Writing and placing a guest post to score one link is too time consuming and almost pointless. Instead, your aim should be to have links come on their own. Thus guest blogging should be used to build influence.
Please share some common mistakes that are made by guest bloggers and how as a guest blogger one can make sure his/her guest posts are accepted by even popular blogs of their niche. Any useful tip for newbie’s and experienced bloggers?
Referencing the above question and answer, the hugest mistake of a guest blogger is targeting quick results. I 100% agree with Leo Widrich, co-founder of BufferApp, who used guest blogging and MyBlogGuest to build his startup:
The amazing thing about guest posting really is the amount of people you will meet through it. This means either in the comments of your posts or simply the relationship with the person owning the blog.
It will allow you to hit these people up more easily with exclusive product updates in the future to feature your service. Or you get referred to other, bigger blogs where you are able to do a new write-up.
So I think it is best to see it really as trying to go out and make new friends and connections through these posts. In my case it is actually a lot of fun.
So focusing on quick gains means not getting the full advantage of your effort. Target high and long-term, focus on relationships, not links!
How is SEOSmarty.com website doing that you own and are you providing any kind of services through this website?
SEOsmarty.com is my first venture in SEO career. It built my brand and will always remain my most significant project (simply because it’s the first one). I don’t have much time for it now and I am keeping it very personal talking about all my projects. I am not providing services at the moment because Ninjas and MBG are keeping me very busy 🙂
According to you which are the best SEO tools (free or paid)?
At SEOchat we are building the most useful and varied SEO tools suit on the web. I don’t think any other resource has such a selection of absolutely free tools. Check it out!
Are you using any SEO plugin on your blog? It would be great if you could share it with the Bloggers Passion readers.
Overall WordPress is very SEO-friendly. You don’t need to do anything special except for adding high-quality original content for search engine to like you.
The only purely SEO plugin I am using is All-in-One SEO pack; I’d recommend it to everyone. It’s easy to handle even for a newbie.
How newbies should go about doing SEO for their blogs?
Like I said, WordPress SEO is not rocket science. If we speak about basic steps to take, I’d recommend:
- Setting permalinks to be your %post-name%
- Choose no more than one category per article (to decrease the number of duplicate instances of the post)
- Make sure to do some basic keyword research when coming up with each article title. I described those basic steps in this deck:
Are you using any of social media networks to promote your websites? What is the best way to get maximum benefit from social media, according to you?
My primary social media networks are:
- Twitter (it’s also the first one). The most effective tactic here: Utilizing Twitter chats. we have one for MyBlogGuest by the way.
- Google Plus. Google Plus communities are very powerful. I am moderating quite a few of them, for example Google Authorship and MyBlogGuest communities.
- Facebook. Facebook promoted ads have been working good for me especially for spreading the word about contests and giveaways.
- Slideshare (the most recent addition but I am loving it). It’s quite easy to get views from Slideshare and to get your deck on the front page is doable too! I think every content marketer should be on Slideshare.
Ann, you have been working in the SEO & Blogging industry for a long time now. What do you think where SEO industry is heading? And what kind of changes you are expecting in the next 2-3 years time on the SEO front?
In fact I’ve been in the industry long enough to understand that SEO isn’t actually changing that much while the SEO industry is luckily forced to change. While I don’t agree with Google on the way they are spreading FUD (fear uncertainty doubt), their updates have actually had some positive impact on the web (here’s one case study for example).
People come to realize that SEO isn’t about faking your search visibility. It’s about building good content and trust. It’s about working with many other departments (marketing, customer service, etc) to produce better websites, better usability, better calls-to-action and better interaction giving search engines higher-quality signals.
I am hoping this is the direction we are heading, i.e. “making it real” versus “faking it”.
What kind of SEO mistakes you are seeing lots of bloggers and website owners making these days?
Overdoing it 🙂
Seriously though, SEO is about making your websites easier to access and crawl by search bots, that’s basically it! That means making your websites faster (to save on crawler’s time), creating high-quality content (giving the crawler some text to crawl) and working on internal structure and inter-links (making sure the crawl follows the links to be able to discover your good content).
Keyword stuffing and getting fake links are extra and may rather hurt than benefit… Fake social media shares don’t do anything except for wasting your time… Fake links are obvious (and also time consuming).
Many website owners fail to understand that actually adding value to the web is both more beneficial and reliable. Actually “earning” your way to search visibility is slower but much more rewarding than simply “faking” your way there.
Please share the monetization methods that you are using to earn money from your online portals and which monetization method you found most effective?
You may be surprised but I actually miserably suck at monetizing. While I am earning my living online, if you look at my projects, you won’t find a single ad. I am working a lot and one thing of hundreds will actually start bringing some money (to my surprise). That’s basically my monetization secret 🙂
My monetization method: Freemium. I am creating partially free tools and let those who want more, upgrade. This way I feel like I give everyone a chance to benefit, even those who can’t afford to pay… I believe in Good Karma!
Which are the best link building practices (to be safe with Google Algorithms) according to you?
Highly-selective high-quality relationship-based guest blogging. That’s also the topic I was speaking at Pubcon recently, so you may want to take a look:
Which web host you like the most and any specific reason for choosing it over others?
So far I am using Hostgator and I like it. I can’t say we don’t have any issues with it but I see that they are actually going above and beyond to try and fix what they broke, so you have to recognize and appreciate that!
What is the best way to build lots of quality traffic to a website?
I’ve never been able to combine “lots” and “quality”, to be honest. Even if you look at MyBlogGuest traffic, it’s not that impressive. But because most people come to us because they already know us (read on other blogs, overheard on social media, got a recommendation from a friend, etc), we convert our traffic very well.
So I’d say, build your brand. Let people search for YOUR NAME – that’s the most valuable traffic you can get.
I am also using ViralContentBuzz a lot to put my content in front of power social media users and it works very well for me!
Which are your favorite blogs? Please share any three.
I don’t have much time to read nowadays. The few that I still manage to keep up with are:
- Threadwatch (We are trying to pick very special, less discussed but important search topics there)
- Social Media Sun (The editorial team is very picky when it comes to which content to publish so it turns out to be a good resource)
- Search Engine Journal (It used to be my home and it will always be my native place)
- Make Use Of (The highest-quality selection of tech guides and free tools)
If you have just $100 to start a blog, how you will go about it?
If I had $100, I’d pay for the hosting upfront and started building the site. Nowadays, you don’t need a cent to build a good blog (all you need to pay for is a domain and a good hosting). The rest (theme, plugins, content) can be free. So all you need is lots of enthusiasm!
How the audience at BloggersPassion.com blog can connect with you on major social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Google plus? Message for Bloggers Passion readers …
Oh, it’s not hard!
I am very responsive on Twitter but I may miss messages on Facebook (for whatever reason). Google Plus is not very consistent with notifying of new private messages either, so Twitter is the best way to keep in touch!
Thanks so much for having me! I am excited to tell my story to this great community of bloggers! | <urn:uuid:ead0ebcb-36fd-4793-8ee3-184a56dbafb9> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://bloggerspassion.com/interview-with-seo-guest-blogging-expert-ann-smarty-from-myblogguest/ | 2018-11-18T04:00:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.959893 | 2,929 | [

Acrosplat by App Street Games is a game for Android and iOS on both tablets and phones. The goal is to launch paint blobs of several different colours from platform to platform with the goal of getting the right colour paint into a bucket at the end. Of course, things are never that simple and the game gradually introduces new mechanics as you play. I haven’t played through all the levels yet as there are over 100 of them in the released game, but I’ve already seen a number of additional mechanics that can make the game very tricky when combined. This is especially the case if you’re trying to complete each level with the traditional maximum score of three stars, and who wouldn’t want to do that?
The required colour in the end bucket can be changed by sacrificing a blob of paint into it. For example you can launch a red blob of paint into a fresh bucket and then you’ll need to drop another red piece in to win. You can allow paint to go through a wall (well… most walls) by splatting another blob of paint of the same colour against it. The wall splatting also relies heavily on combining colours, for example making a wall traversable by a green paint by splatting blue and yellow paint against it. In the early game you get time to think, but things quickly ramp up with the introduction of hazards such as moving sawblades. The paint blobs themselves also move around when you’re not interacting with them, making some situations all about finding the moment when everything lines up.
What does Acrosplat do right?
In my opinion, the art style for the game is a perfect match to the gameplay. Straightforward and colourful graphics are definitely the way to go for a game like this, with minimal distraction from the task at hand. I feel like I say that a lot, but it remains true—no one is going to give you points for clutter. Everything is clearly defined and the elements that can be interacted with (in this case the paint blobs) are obvious.
It also feels like the interaction with the paint has improved since I played at EGX, being much smoother as you change your aim to find the best launch angle. This is welcome as it was my main complaint at the time. In games like this the ease of interaction is a very key element and I’m glad the developers iterated on that to get it right.
A good feature of Acrosplat is the level editor. This allows the player to unleash their creativity once they’ve completed the included levels, or take a break if a level is beating them. Parts for the level editor are unlocked as you play, or can be unlocked all at once with an in-app purchase. This type of purchase sits ok with me as it doesn’t detract from the actual gameplay or allow “cheating” such as skipping levels.
What could have been done better?
The music, while cheery at first, got on my nerves relatively quickly, but I’m someone who tends to play mobile games with the sound turned off anyway so your mileage my vary.
My major gripe is with the hints system. You get three hints and the assumption therefore is that you have three hints per level, likely taking some score penalty per hint. However, you in fact have three hints ever (short of wiping the game and starting from scratch). Each hint will walk you through every step required to complete the level and won’t let you make a wrong move. Essentially, using a hint is the same as skipping a level. Then once you’ve used all three you have to buy more with in-app purchases. This isn’t an approach I, personally, get on with. It’s not clear up front what the hint will do and give a very low lifetime limit it seems unnecessarily harsh to throw one away finding that out. It’s worth noting that the ability to split a paint blob into two pieces is similarly limited and has no indication that this is the case.
My reservations about the hint system are strong enough to be an unfortunate mark on the game. However if you go into the game knowing about that and are willing to either work with it or ignore it then Acrosplat is a fun puzzle game worth checking out. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys this type of mobile game, particularly if you have enjoyed games such as Angry Birds. You will definitely get your money’s worth out of it (and more) at the current low price of $3. Personally I am definitely going to attempt to finish the game, though I won’t be reporting on the number of times it stumps me 😉
Disclosure: I was provided with a free copy of the game for review purposes. I wasn’t given any requirements or restrictions on the content of the review. | <urn:uuid:93a978c1-2907-493a-b6d0-c55f0fa70c1f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://savestate.co.uk/2017/03/acrosplat-review-mobile/ | 2018-11-18T04:22:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.965452 | 1,016 | [

It doesn't matter if they're brand new or if they've worked for the state since the dawn of time: Starting next month, Arizona is introducing an annual workplace harassment prevention training for all state employees.
Employees will have to take a 30-minute training on the computer between January 2, 2018, and March 30, 2018. They'll also have to retake the training every year.
Example slides from the training require participants to identify situations of inappropriate office conduct, such as an employee repeatedly asking a colleague out on a date.
Another example asks the participant what they would do if they overheard colleagues making jokes at another employee's expense. In the scenario, two employees mock a colleague who is originally from Poland because of his accent.
State lawmakers, however, are exempt from the training as members of the legislature. That means Representative Don Shooter of Yuma would be exempt from the lessons.
Multiple women have voiced sexual harassment allegations against the Republican. He has been suspended from his chairmanship of a committee but has not resigned from office despite calls for him to step down.
State Human Resources Director Elizabeth Alvarado-Thorson said that the new training was in development this summer, before women and men began to publicly share experiences of sexual harassment and assault, often related to their job, during the nationwide #MeToo movement.
Nevertheless, the state’s top HR official acknowledged that the timing for the new training is right.
“We really know and acknowledge that there’s this increased public attention around the topic of harassment,” she said in a media briefing on Wednesday. “[With] what’s happening in Hollywood and elsewhere, we believed it was an ideal time for us to increase state employees’ awareness around the serious nature of this issue.”
Although they are rolling out this new training, Alvarado-Thorson said her office hasn’t received an increase in the number of workplace harassment complaints.
The state’s workplace harassment prevention training falls under the state’s standards of conduct rule that requires all employees to comply with all federal and state nondiscrimination law and to “be courteous, considerate, and prompt in interactions with and serving the public and other employees.”
The new training builds on an existing standards of conduct training required for new employees. However, all employees will have to take the new training starting next month, and will repeat the training every year after that.
Alvarado-Thorson explained that the idea is to remind “long-tenured employees here who don’t even remember their new employee orientation program” of the standards of conduct and workplace harassment prevention.
She said, “We encourage every single employee to promptly bring any allegation of discrimination or harassment or retaliation to the attention of their supervisor or their manager, their in-house human resources professional, the agency director.”
Alvarado-Thorson added that if employees believe that a reporting avenue isn’t open to them at their state workplace or they aren’t satisfied with the outcome, they can always go to the Department of Administration’s human resources division.
According to Alvarado-Thorson, there should be no additional cost to the state for this training, since employees will take the short 30-minute training at work.

When asked about the scope of harassment in state government, Alvarado-Thorson said that in any type of work environment — including Arizona state agencies, which employ over 33,000 people — there will always be issues of workplace harassment.
However, she emphasized that harassment and retaliation is taken extremely seriously.
“Any employees who engage in unlawful activity are really, at the highest level, subject to disciplinary action — up to and including dismissal and separation from state employment,” she said. | <urn:uuid:59ac69da-275e-45cc-b0dd-4644e35f60ac> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/state-employees-to-undergo-new-workplace-harassment-prevention-training-9972979 | 2018-11-19T08:59:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745522.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119084944-20181119110944-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.9648 | 845 | [

Please help us as we join Erin Merryn in her crusade by fighting to get Erin's Law passed in Maryland.
What IS Erin's Law?
Erin’s Law is named after childhood sexual assault survivor, author, speaker and activist Erin Merryn, who is the founder and President of Erin’s Law, which is registered with the State of Illinois and the IRS as a 501 (c)(4) non-profit social welfare organization.
After Erin introduced the legislation in her home state of Illinois, the bill was named Erin’s Law after her by legislators and it has caught on nationwide.
“Erin’s Law” requires that all public schools in each state that passes it implement a prevention-oriented child sexual abuse program which teaches:
- Students in grades preK – 5th grade, age-appropriate techniques to recognize child sexual abuse and tell a trusted adult
- School personnel all about child sexual abuse
- Parents & guardians the warning signs of child sexual abuse, plus needed assistance, referral or resource information to support sexually abused children and their families
Why isn't Erin's Law passed in Maryland?
Erin's Law was introduced to Maryland under HB 1344 in 2014. While it passed in the Senate, it did not pass in the House with a vote of 15 yea and 5 nay votes. It’s time to bring Erin’s Law back to the Maryland legislature! | <urn:uuid:945265a0-2aef-4bce-ad6e-6121c75c6a7e> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://cherishthechildsymposium.com/home/erins-law | 2018-11-20T18:23:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746528.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120171153-20181120193153-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.952357 | 295 | [

“I was too pissed to notice the aesthetic makeup of the Los Angeles, Coliseum Olympic stadium, and the fact that dad laughed at me every single time Madrid conceded didn’t help much. But that’s on the side though.
It was a beautiful experience getting to watch these stars who have made their mark in their unique area of gifting, seeing them in real time (I desperately wanted to see Toni Kroos, Ronaldo and Sergio Romas – but Toni had a knock the day before and couldn’t play. Ramos has an ear infection and was on the bench. Ronaldo is still on vacation.)
Anyway, it was beautiful. Lots of energy, excitement among fans and even the security personnel.
With every piece of skill, or move or attempt on goal came a thunderous uproar of joy. It was beautiful.
Every football fan should experience live football…always. I’m so looking forward to attending the UEFA Champions League final and World Cup in the future.
I love the rush of excitement and the beauty that comes with knowing that I live once. I have to make it count.
And did I mention that these stars will retire someday?”

Ashley and Bar of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant have been through some hard times recently -- Bar got into a physical altercation with Ashley’s sister Chris, Ashley filed an order of protection against Bar’s mom Shen, and Bar’s brother was convicted of murder. But could a change of scenery be just what this family needs to start over?
On tonight’s episode, Ashley learned her mom Tea was considering relocating from California to Atlanta. When Ashley asked Bar if he’d be interested in potentially moving with her, he seemed resistant.
“This is my playing field. This is what I know; this is where I’m stationed,” he said of the Bay Area. “I think I’m scared of moving that far away from home.”
But once they got down to Atlanta, Bar quickly changed his mind, realizing how inexpensive and calm the lifestyle was there compared to the craziness of California and what a good life they could give Holly.
“I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty much damn near sold,” he told his lady after looking at the house Tea wanted to purchase.
During the same conversation, the engaged couple agreed to wait at least a few months before making the jump.
“I want to finish school, which automatically gives us four and a half months,” Ashley said. “And we’ll have whatever else time we need. I think right now, we should probably start [saving money].”
Do you think Ashley and Bar will they make the move or end up staying in California? And if they do relocate, will the Peach State give them the fresh start they need?

With ANNIHILATION, director Alex Garland has created a film which both dazzles its audience while dividing them at the same time. Starring Natalie Portman, the film offers gorgeous visuals yet it’s wild ending has polarized critics and science fiction fans alike. This week, Steve welcomes Patrick Hicks (co-host, Feelin’ Film podcast) to wrestle through Garland’s vision while discussing the nature of repentance and new life.

Since HDBaseT is a standard and the majority of receivers and transmitters rely on the same chipset, you’d expect all implementations to be more or less the same. Not so. We have personal experience of installations whose stability has been transformed simply by swapping out the transmitters and receivers with higher-quality products from a different vendor. No change was made to the cabling, and the chipsets in all endpoints are basically the same, but the performance was very different.
It is well worth taking time out to evaluate different HDBaseT transceiver hardware options thoroughly before an installation, particularly in noisy environments or where the cable runs are at or close to the maximum specified range.
HDBaseT makes use of standard Cat5e/6 cable network infrastructure but it does not, of course, make use of Ethernet protocol, including the error-correction mechanisms. This makes it very vulnerable to poor installation standards and interference.
If cables are laid too close to power lines, fluorescent lights or other sources of interference, the transmission range may well be adversely affected. Installations that work perfectly in an unoccupied building can become unstable when staff move in and start using their mobile phones.
So what should installers look for in an HDBaseT transmitter or receiver? The first clues are in the specification. What is the range of the device? For all HDBaseT devices, the range given in the datasheet should be regarded as the maximum that can be achieved rather than an absolute that will always be delivered. So much depends on environmental factors: the amount of electrical noise in the environment (including the number of other links nearby), the quality of the cable, how well it has been laid and terminated and so on.
So called ‘long-reach’ devices are likely to perform better and more reliably than standard implementations in most real-world environments. Although all are built around the same Valens chipset, the firmware that runs on the chips is developed individually by each vendor. To achieve a longer range, a vendor will have tweaked that firmware to reduce the heat emitted in the design, which will reduce the level of EMI emissions as well as the susceptibility to outside EMI.
The result is that if you’re installing even a short (100ft, say) link in a ‘noisy’ environment like a lift shaft, the ‘long-range’ product may deliver a reliable connection where a standard product will struggle.
Another point to consider is the way the endpoints are powered. Although 5-play allows the receiver to be powered via the cable, devices will run cooler and last longer if they are powered directly.
Having examined the datasheet and drawn up a shortlist of potential receivers and transmitters, a worthwhile next step for the installer is to conduct a stability test. A well-designed transmitter or receiver will have watchdog circuitry to check the connection on boot-up and periodically thereafter and automatically reboot the link if necessary. Cool running devices are also likely to be more stable.
A good test is to run 300ft links with each transmitter-receiver pair under evaluation alongside each other in the lab, and monitor the stability and performance of each link. You could introduce a source of electrical noise alongside, such as a fluorescent light fitting. You will be surprised at the differences that emerge.
HDBaseT is, on paper, a very cost-effective way of transmitting uncompressed video, but the savings made on the cost of hardware can quickly evaporate if additional time is required on site to troubleshoot the installation.
In many environments, it is still well worth considering established alternative technologies. Although the endpoints will be more costly, it is often possible to compensate for this as they will run reliably over lower specification cable. Installation is likely to be quicker, easier and more trouble free too, leading to a happier end customer and the timely release of the installation team to start the next project.
Although the signal source and the display are much the most visible part of any installation, the communications link is mission-critical. The ‘cheapest’ solution on paper can prove expensive in the long run, and it is well worth taking time out to evaluate the options properly beforehand. | <urn:uuid:b0ce82c7-5816-496c-8e2b-b01efd4c3933> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.installation-international.com/technology/opinion-achieving-stability-hdbaset-installations | 2018-11-15T19:56:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742906.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115182450-20181115204450-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.941516 | 863 | [

Sundance traffic: Park City might not want extras on set
Leaders plan to discuss Old Town access-pass system for fest
February 7, 2017
People who live in Old Town days ahead of time anticipate the crush of vehicles that arrives in the neighborhood during the jammed opening weekend of the Sundance Film Festival.
Main Street and the narrow nearby streets are typically overwhelmed by traffic on the first Thursday of the festival without much of a letup through the first Sunday. The traffic is bad through the rest of the 11-day event, but the opening days are especially difficult in the neighborhood.
Shortly after the festival ended in January, a member of the Park City Council broached the idea of introducing restrictions on traffic in Old Town during Sundance. Andy Beerman, who lives and works in the neighborhood, did not provide details during a recent City Council meeting, but there appeared to be interest by the other elected officials to hold a more detailed discussion later.
In his comments, Beerman mentioned the traffic restrictions that have long been part of the traffic, transportation and parking plan of the annual summertime Park City Kimball Arts Festival. The arts festival, which draws tens of thousands of people to Main Street, is one of the important weekends on Park City's busy events calendar. Main Street is closed to traffic for the weekend of arts festival.
City Hall relies on an access-pass system during arts festival that greatly limits traffic in the southern reaches of Old Town. Someone must live in the neighborhood to be granted an access pass with consideration also given to businesses there to ensure operations are not disrupted by traffic restrictions. The access-pass system for Old Town residents, though, appears to be the most important aspect of the arts festival program as talks loom about Sundance.
Traffic during the arts festival in the parts of Old Town regulated by access passes usually flows well as compared to the backups seen during Sundance, including the recently wrapped edition. Drivers with access passes during the arts festival present them at one of the checkpoints and are allowed to drive into the neighborhood. Drivers without them are turned away.
Recommended Stories For You
The congestion in Old Town during Sundance can be nightmarish at some points as film lovers, celebrity gawkers and people who live in the neighborhood cram onto the narrow roads. The traffic stretches throughout the neighborhood. The route toward Main Street on Park Avenue, Deer Valley Drive and the tiny Hillside Avenue are regularly backed up while drivers comb other streets for places to park even though those spots are generally within City Hall's resident-only zones. Drivers for transportation companies, meanwhile, were repeatedly seen parked at the trolley turnaround at the intersection of Main Street, Hillside Avenue and Daly Avenue during the festival in January.
Any upcoming discussions about introducing an access-pass system will almost certainly be closely watched by Old Town residents, businesses along Main Street, the transportation firms and Sundance itself. A system would appear to have implications on a broad range of vehicles entering Old Town, including taxis, shuttles, official Sundance cars, corporate shuttles and those bringing celebrity entourages to Main Street.
It would be one of the most noteworthy logistical changes to City Hall's Sundance plans in years. It was unclear whether the elected officials will discuss an access-pass system that would cover the entire festival or only the opening days.
A timeline for the discussions was not set at the recent meeting. City Hall and Sundance organizers typically review the mechanics of the festival annually before making alterations to the overall plan. Sometimes the alterations are not finalized until late in the year, but introducing an access-pass system would likely be researched and discussed earlier than other changes typically are since the implications on the overall logistics would be broad.
It was the second consecutive year Beerman mentioned the possibility of an access-pass system during Sundance. He spoke about the topic shortly after Sundance in 2016 as well, but the possibility did not gain momentum.

What if Joe Biden had run and won? Sure, we wouldn't have our long-awaited first female president yet, but we would have...Joe Biden as president. Which would be pretty okay. Can you even imagine? I know, he would be just another white guy Democrat president in a long, long line of white guy Democrat presidents. But still. We would be living in such a pleasant, supportive, likely uneventful, and meme-filled 2017 — that fantasy really, really makes actual 2017 look like Gilead in comparison.
Apparently, even Biden himself is feeling nostalgia for the 2017 that never was. The Huffington Post Reports that the former vice president spoke at Colgate University in New York this weekend and explained that he regrets his decision not to run for president.
“I had planned on running for president and although it would have been a very difficult primary, I think I could have won,” he said. “Maybe not, I don’t know.”
He added that his son, former Delaware attorney general Beau Biden, had urged him to run in 2016, but Joe thought his family had already been through enough. And when Beau died in 2015 after a battle with brain cancer, Joe "lost a part of my soul," he explained in his Colgate speech. He officially decided against running for president only a few months after Beau's death.
In the same speech, Biden applauded Hillary Clinton, calling her “extremely well qualified” to be president. But he also chronicled some of the mistakes that the Democrats made throughout the campaign — including not prioritizing working-class voters and spending too much time criticizing Trump's antics.
“Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, but they’re not entitled to their own facts,” he said. Amen to that. "You can't remain silent... What we can't do is we can't play into the administration's game of getting us into this mosh pit. We can't allow ourselves to deal with them the same way they're dealing with us." Sounds like Joe and Michelle are on the same page — and so are we. | <urn:uuid:eb6d5f6c-e637-4210-8846-95f25f1d3ba6> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2017/03/147108/biden-could-have-won-2016-election | 2018-11-15T18:52:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742906.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115182450-20181115204450-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.987685 | 442 | [

At last night’s JFGD Board Meeting, we started the meeting with a D’var Torah written by JCRC Director Rabbi Ari Ballaban. In part it read:
“In these days of introspection, we are supposed to consider what we’ve done right and what we’ve done wrong; we’re supposed to make amends; we’re supposed to give ourselves a fresh slate for the new year, and, thus, restore our souls to equilibrium; and, at the end of all this, we’re supposed to feel energized and ready for the year ahead of us.”
Judaism has brought a great deal of wisdom to my life. I love the idea that during the High Holidays, we are able to “wipe the slate clean” and renew and enrich our soul.
I wish everyone good health and happiness.

SK Telecom T1 defeated KT Rolster 2-1 in Tuesday’s League Champions Korea match and the latest iteration of the “Telecom Wars.” The match showed a dominant performance in Game 1 by KT and a brilliant comeback victory in Game 2 by SKT. In the post-match interview with SpoTV, Faker and Bang were invited as the MVPs of the match, and when asked what side of Bang he wanted to emulate, Faker answered without much hesitation.
“I’m late quite often, but Bang is hardly ever late,” he said. “I want to be more like him in that regard.”
That’s a staunch difference from their last post-match interview that included many playful barbs, but the rapport between the players sure seems clear.
As for the match, Game 2 was particularly difficult to watch for fans of SKT, as KT (after winning Game 1) had a strong lead and looked as if it could easily transition into a 2-0 win. But a number of strategic team fights led to KT’s downfall, and SKT capitalized on some shaky decision making. One standout moment happened when KT tried to force a risky Baron, for which SKT heavily punished them.
Game 3 wasn’t all that different in terms of the early game, as KT took the lead but SKT pulled through yet again by biding time and forcing strategic team fights. Bang credited the Game 3 victory to Faker, saying that the mid lane lead allowed the team to get ahead in the late game.
“We were behind in the early game, but Faker had the lead in the mid lane, and that bought us a lot of time,” he said. “That allowed our Fiora to scale and take the split-push advantage away from the Rumble. The bottom lane was in a dangerous position too, but he roamed and allowed us to farm much more safely.”
As for the question about which of Faker’s features Bang wanted to emulate, Bang said that no one practices quite like Faker and that it’s amazing to see even as a member of the team.
“I think his amount of games played is amazing,” he said. “Even as a player of the same team, it’s kind of astounding to see how he can play that many games.”

Who is Lock City Brewing Company?
Lock City Brewing Company is a new retail and distribution brewery located in Southern Connecticut. With a focus to create quality artisan craft beer, our initial craft beer portfolio will include a variety of beers including pale ales, stouts, porters, and other popular styles. As the business grows and brand recognition increases, we will expand the brewing capacity and add new beers to our brewing arsenal. Lock City Brewing Company is scheduled to begin operations by the end 2016.
Lock City Brewing Company is a unique company in that its goal is to not only reinvent simple and full flavored craft brewed beer, but also to create a sense of community through craft brewing education, innovation, activities/festivals and community ownership. To help guarantee our success, Lock City Brewing Company is creating a business in several small stages to help ensure our position within the market place. We have many high quality craft beers that are and will be well received in the market place. Our priority is to maintain the highest quality in our beers.
Product and Services
As a retail and distribution brewery, the two initial beers to hit the market will be an Imperial India Pale Ale and a hoppy Blonde Ale . These beers will be released simultaneously. The descriptions of these two beers are as follows:
Imperial India Pale Ale: 8.2% ABV, 85 IBU, 6 SRM. Artfully crafted, very hop forward and light bodied American inspired India Pale Ale. This IIPA is made with loads of late addition hops that provides great aroma and is surprisingly easy on the palate for a 75 IBU beer. Although this ale is full of flavor with floral hop aroma, you won’t find the strong bitterness common to many high IBU American pale ales.
Blonde Ale: 4.9% ABV, 33 IBU, 3 SRM. This is an American Blonde Ale with a wonderfully light body and highlights of fruity, citrousy notes! What makes this beer special is how well-balanced and crushable it is. With the light alcohol content and refreshing flavor this is a beer that one can drink all day long.
Once we have doubled our monthly barrel capacity, by year two of operations, we will begin to release other ale styles for distribution. Our goal is to maintain a diverse craft beer portfolio. We will release new beers each year, along with seasonal beers, contracted recipes with local bars and restaurants who want to maintain naming rights to beers we brew for them.
We have several formulated and market tested recipes waiting for release once we have the capacity to brew them. We have designed the following recipes: Hefeweizen, Bohemian Pilsner, Pumpkin Ale, Various IPA’s, Porter, Stout, Sours, and barrel-aged ales. We will continuously spend the time to research and develop other styles and variations of current styles for production release.
The brewery tap room will sell all beers that we produce in the form of growlers for take home consumption and pints for on-site consumption. In addition the tap room will be used for tasting test batches to get customer feedback. The feedback will allow us to make adjustments for future batches to potentially one day add to our product line. We don’t plan for large production bottling/canning until we have grown enough to warrant it.

Recently the Vermont Senate voted against protecting Vermonters who live near industrial wind turbines. The Senate voted against requiring sound monitoring to ensure compliance with noise pollution standards. Green Mountain Power’s lobbyist Todd Bailey of KSE Partners told Senators that GMP could not afford to pay an unsubstantiated cost of $264,000 for sound monitoring for its industrial wind project in Lowell. As reported in Seven Days “they (the army of energy lobbyist) got their message to Senator Bray and other Senators in a hurry. The Senate voted 18-8 to strike sound monitoring from the bill.”
It is enlightening to understand GMP’s opposition to the cost of sound monitoring at industrial wind projects in comparison to other costs at GMP. For instance, sound monitoring annual costs, estimated by ethical experts to be $50,000 to $75,000, pale in comparison to the annual compensation for GMP CEO Mary Powell.
According to the Valener Energy Company Management Proxy Circular, included with the March 22, 2016 stockholders’ meeting notice, total annual compensation to GMP CEO Mary Powell for the fiscal year ending September 2015 was $1.9 million. Her total compensation for 2013, 2104 and 2015 was over $5 million. Her total compensation consists of base salary, annual and long term incentive plan (bonus pay), current pension value and other compensation. Her current retirement benefit is $3.3 million.
Gaz Metro owns GMP and has determined that CEO Mary Powell’s long term incentive compensation will be based on a program that “…takes into account cash flow, asset base growth, and achievement of Merger savings.”
“Asset base growth” occurs whenever GMP completes a new energy project. Utilities make money by earning a return on the equity portion of their assets, called asset base in the proxy report or more commonly, “rate base”. Rate base increases whenever a utility builds anything. Intermittent (renewable) generation assets such as wind and solar projects are extremely capital intensive. It makes sense that GMP’s parent corporation would want to increase asset base, because it increases corporate income. The more projects GMP builds, the more money CEO Mary Powell makes.
The problem is, these industrial wind projects are located close to Vermont families who feel their negative impacts. People who live near an industrial wind project according to the Vermont Public Service Department will experience “a significant impairment of quality of life” who unlike the CEO of GMP will not be compensated by a higher bonus in their paycheck. Instead Vermonters who live near industrial wind projects will see their quality of life deteriorate and their home values decrease. I have met with Vermonters who have abandoned their homes, are sleep deprived, get headaches, have been hospitalized, are awakened in the middle of the night with heart racing having a panic attack, get dizzy and nauseous, have sold homes at a loss, all because of the impact of unregulated industrial wind turbine noise pollution.
The GMP financial incentive to increase rate base resulted in a provision added to the proposed 30 Megawatt Deerfield Wind power purchase agreement. GMP negotiated the power contract with Iberdrola, the entity that would develop and own the wind power project on US Forest Service land that is poised to destroy critical bear habitat and the high elevation headwaters of Wilmington. It is no wonder that this agreement includes a provision that allows GMP to buy the project for $50 million in 10 years. After GMP’s long and ugly battle to build its Lowell industrial wind project, it may have found a new way to own wind projects without all the problems of building them. It contracts with a developer to build wind projects and buys the projects later, which adds assets and increases compensation for Mary Powell, CEO. Neighbors get the noise pollution and significantly impaired quality of life.
The opposition to continuous sound monitoring at Vermont industrial wind projects is also not consistent with established utility practice. The McNeil wood chip generating plant, part of which is owned by GMP, is required to maintain a Continuous Emissions Monitoring System (CEMS). The CEMS equipment provides hourly data. The McNeil plant is smaller than the Lowell industrial wind project. Despite the wind industry’s well funded denials to the contrary, it has been proven that industrial wind projects emit harmful sound emissions.
Sound generated by a wind turbine is directly related to its power output. More power output equals more sound. The real cost of continuous monitoring to the wind companies is that they would have to shut down when they are out of compliance, which would mean that the developer would make less money.
The legislature must act to require third party continuous sound monitoring to ensure compliance for all industrial wind projects. Legislators, please put people over profits.
