T + 323 I Forgot to Remember Not To Take my Tablet
This morning I went to the transplant clinic for the first time in six months and it was, just marginally, a bit more unusual than a regular visit.
I had my bloods taken and then realised this morning I had already taken my ciclosporin which I am not supposed to do when I have bloods done as one is to measure the "ambient" level in my blood and this would be distorted by the morning dose. I was obviously out of practice going to the clinic.
Then through a convoluted sequence of thought processes which I won't go into here, I convinced myself I hadn't actually taken my ciclosporin and took my second dose that I would normally take at tea time. Oops.
I then went in to see the doc. She checked the skin on my chest and neck and said there was little or no evidence of Graft Versus Host Disease so we are going to reduce my steroids from 5mg per day to 5mg one day and none the next. Getting ever closer to coming off them.
My other blood results were the second unusual thing. My haemoglobin was back up to 11.2 from 10.6 last time which is very encouraging, looks like the folic acid is helping and I really might finally be making my own red blood cells. My platelets were also fine ( as they always have been throughout all my treatment, which is just as well for someone as clumsy as me ).
My white cells however, and in particular my neutrophils that fight bacteria were a lot lower than they had been. This can be a sign that my body is, or has been, fighting an infection and the doc asked me if I'd had a cold or been otherwise unwell. However I've been fine as far as I know. As the doc said "we treat the patient not the blood test" so she didn't plan to do anything about the low counts at the moment but did ask to see me in two weeks to keep an eye on it.
Since I need to have a proper ciclosporin blood test I'm going in to the clinic on Friday to have that done and a repeat of the blood count sent to the lab to see what my neutrophils are then. Sometimes the analysis machine they use in the clinic gives the occasional anomalous result. | <urn:uuid:6fef2e13-e05e-4183-908d-5bbbb4961638> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://simonstanford.blogspot.com/2009/08/t-323-i-forgot-to-remember-not-to-take.html | 2018-11-15T22:40:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742963.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115223739-20181116005739-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.987573 | 489 | [

And let me say first and foremost, for any and all misgivings I may have had prior to sitting down in the theatre - they have all been laid to rest. I should've known that Guy Ritchie would deliver at least a watchable film, if not an actual cool hip flick. He certainly delivers with Downey Jr. doing what I thought was a great version of his Holmes. Granted, this isnt your fathers version of the Doyle favorite. But, if you go with a bit of an open mind, and an eye towards a new telling of the worlds greatest detective, I think you will really enjoy the thing. What kinda surprised me is that this is actually a really beautifully shot flick. What the DP did, was I think, exactly what this movie needed. If your looking for a movie to see over the holiday week, skip the blue alien flick, and go see a good old fashioned DOWN TO EARTH mystery. | <urn:uuid:82d8c09b-251b-4a95-adef-0f3be8c3df8d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://tinyskustoms.blogspot.com/2009/12/elementary.html | 2018-11-15T23:01:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742963.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115223739-20181116005739-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.971584 | 191 | [

Advice With Abi
The official Neuro News advice column
I desperately need advice on how i should deal with my current situation. I have this friend named Fargas and he's been my best friend for a very long time, and he recently got a Neuro Headset to enhance his gaming experience on his computer. Unfortunately i had some issues to attend to far from home and away from him also. When i came back, so much has changed. One minute he's completely fine, and the next he's in the hospital in horrible health, with a gaming addiction that has the possibility of killing him. I want to help him, but i'm not sure what to do and i want to get him back to reality again by hanging out with him and showing him where I've been staying at, but i don't have the time and i have a very demanding job that can't interfere with anyone else. I don't really have much time to be back in my home town either, because i have moved for some really important reasons. Also, he is stuck in the hospital for another week! Is there anything more i can do?
I am deeply sorry for your friend, and i hope he is doing better. Your life seems tough right now, but i can tell that your friend really needs you. I think you should make an effort to reach out for him, talk to him, convince him to stay away from the computer, and make most of whatever time you have left with him before you leave to your new far away home. Besides trying to help him stray away from his addiction, the best thing you can do is just be there for him as a friend and someone who cares about his health and safety. Try to visit him as often as you can, and i would stay in contact him through email or the phone, but it might be best to not bring him towards technology right now. Try to show him the beauty of reality and friendship, outside of the digital world. For his health, that should be left for trusted doctors. I really hope things work out, and that you stay positive for yourself and your friend. I'm glad that he has a friend like you who is willing to help him, and i wish both of you the best of luck.

It’s that time of year again, where pundits around the world give their predictions for 2014. So let’s look at the most boringly lucrative of online channels: email marketing.
In 2014, I predict that “Email is dead” will be the most popular headline in articles, blogs and tweets about email marketing, closely followed by ’email isn’t dead.’
For seven more predictions, read on…
1. ‘Responsive email design’ will become known as ’email design.’
In 2013, there were a lot of conversations like this:
CEO: “I have an iPhone, so therefore everyone else in the world has an iPhone. And so, our emails need to be responsive on my iPhone.”
COO: “I have an Android, so therefore everyone else in the world has an Android. And so, our emails have to look amazing on my Android.”
CFO: “I have an old Blackberry, so therefore everyone else in the world has an old Blackberry. And so, our emails have to be awesome on old Blackberrys.”
CMO: “I read on Econsultancy that we should be doing responsive design ASAP, or I’ll lose my job. Ms. Email Marketer, can you sort this out please, ASAP, and ensure that every single email looks great on every possible device, even ones that none of our customer base use, such as old Blackberrys and Lotus Notes?”
Email Marketer: “Bollocks.”
Email design agency: “Huh, so this is what it feels like to light a cigar with a £100 note. Who knew?”
Does that sound familiar? 2013 was undoubtedly the year that email marketers jumped aboard the responsive design train. And, indeed, some tests showed spikes in response rates (although, interestingly, the majority of positive results were promoted by those designing the responsive emails…)
My prediction for 2014 is that responsive design will no longer be about keeping up with the Jones’, or about driving mobile response rates. It will be about delivering a better user experience to your customers.
People will still be throwing money at responsive design, but will be doing it from the outset of a digital campaign and will be inherent to its delivery, instead of retro-fitting an old template with some responsive media queries.
2. Email marketers will send out loads more emails than in 2013
In 2013, more marketing emails were sent out than in 2012. And in 2012, more marketing emails were sent out than in 2011. And so on.
So I’m going to make a bold prediction.
In 2014, more marketing emails will be sent out than ever before.
Before Christmas, a debate was running about whether or not more emails is better or not. Since then, numerous pundits have made their points of view known, notably McKinsey.
McKinsey reckon that email is a significantly more powerful acquisition channel than social media… and interestingly, its efficacy is increasing versus that of organic search.
Why is this? It’s simple: to get sales via social, you have to be at the right place at the right time. To get sales via search, customers have to seek you out. To get sales via email, all you have to do is use your direct, opted-in route right into their inbox.
So what I’m not saying is spam the shit out of your lists. What I am saying is that smart marketers will be investing in the email channel and sending out more emails.
Hopefully all the extra emails will be useful and beautiful, although that remains to be seen.
3. Gmail = good at email
If you’re an email marketer, especially in the B2C sphere, then you’ll have heard all the pundits saying how Gmail’s tabs are going to kill email marketing.
Erm… that sucks.
So your open rates went down when tabs came out last summer. Because your *promotional* emails went into the *promotions* tab. Think about this: your *promotional* emails didn’t go into the *personal* tab. So you sent out an email to your list, politely asking them to move your *promotional* emails into their *personal* tab.
Because, clearly, when I’m reading emails from my mom, I really and truly want to know about the latest 50% off beard trims I can get in northwest London.
Email marketers are understandably upset by Gmail’s changes, because fewer people are going to open their emails. And so email marketers complain about Google, how they’re trying to take over the world and are mean.
The thing is, this is nothing new! Of course Google is trying to take over the world, that’s how they do. There’s no law against making money guys!
See, Google doesn’t have a durable revenue stream from email. There are a million and one ESPs out there who do, who are effectively making money from Google services (that is, Gmail) and giving nothing back to Larry and Sergey.
This makes Google sad, because, well, Google likes to make money from online advertising. So, they make email advertising a little bit more difficult than before, in the hopes that people will switch to organic search at higher levels. This may or may not happen, but it’s beside the point.
The main point is this: email marketers will adapt. They always have.
Remember when RSS was going to kill email? And when social media was going to kill it? And now it’s Google’s turn!
If nothing else, your from name and subject lines will be more important than ever. The promotions tab is effectively a date-sorted search listing of brands you’ve opted in to hear from. You can now efficiently glance at the promotions tab for anything that stands out.
So re-read my post from last summer on subject lines, and read it again. It’s never been more important than now.
4. More ESPs will be bought for lots of money
2013 saw a slate of acquisitions in the marketing technology space. SalesForce bought ExactTarget for $2.5bn, Oracle bought Eloquoa and Responsys, Adobe bought Neolane… and so on.
This consolidation will continue in 2014. This will drive the industry in one of two directions. Either it will inhibit change, or it will enfranchise a new wave of innovative startups.
This is what I reckon will happen: heavy investment in new business sales by newly acquired ESPs trying to prove their worth to shareholders will drive market prices down.
ESPs will try to “buy” marketshare, and spend huge amounts of money on branding and marketing, and cause a race to the bottom. During this rapid market consolidation, small-to-middle-sized firms will be pushed to the margins. It will become more difficult to win business, and become very difficult to retain business when up against these large, consolidated firms with seemingly endless bankrolls.
As a result, all ESPs, large and small, will need to become leaner to maintain profit margins. This will result in erosion of revenue-neutral services, and therefore a higher level of client transiency.
Some small-to-mid-sized ESPs will suffer badly. Conversely, some will flourish. Why? By using their ability to remain agile, and sector specialisation.
The thing about large pieces of software is that change can often take a long time. Small companies with nimble code bases will be able to deliver innovative features to market quicker and carve out lucrative niches of market share.
Further, expect to see a number of really exciting email marketing-related startups in 2014. I don’t mean necessarily pureplay email transmission… but companies that make the email marketing user experience better.
Already companies like LiveIntent, Litmus, MovableInk, KickDynamic and LiveClicker are doing this. In 2014, expect to hear more about them and other companies who will try to monetize perceived shortfalls in ESP technology.
5. Marketing automation will create lots of automated spam 50% of the time
The big trend in 2013 was of course marketing automation – ESPs are no longer email transmission engines, they’re “marketing automation suites.” Huzzah!
The thing is, a marketing automation programme is only as good as two things: 1) your data; and 2) your predictions.
Crap data will deliver crap automation. By now you’ve likely seen this unfortunate OfficeMax email – where a father was addressed as “Daughter died in car crash.” This is of course an extreme… but things like this happen all the time.
For example, back in about 2007, I signed up for a trade show that purported to be about data (I love me a bit of data.) And so, I assumed that they’d follow some sort of best practice regarding data cleansing.
To test this, I decided to have a bit of fun. In the online registration form where it asked for salutation, instead of the normal “Mr.” I went for something a bit more… shall we say… avant garde.
I assumed that it would check against some filter to ensure the salutation I entered was correct. Did it? Erm… not so much. And as a result, still to this day, I get an marketing industry eNewsletter addressed to “Poop Parry Malm.”
The point is, if your data is crap, your automation will be as well. The two examples above are extremes of course – but what if you send an email to someone offering bargains in the midlands when they’re actually in Alabama… well, you get the picture I’m sure.
Poor predictions will produce poor automation. When you get down to the core of what marketing automation is, it’s a simple concept that has been obfuscated by “expert” rhetoric. But, let’s ignore all the experts for a minute and call a spade a spade: a marketing automation programme is nothing more than a simple predictive model.
A predictive model is usually based upon a couple of things – past results, and future assumptions. There are a couple of issues with this.
First of all, past results: a predictive model broadly assumes that the future will be the same as the past, and ignores short-run variance.
For example – usually in London it will snow for a few days in February. But it won’t necessarily snow – in fact, it could be unseasonably warm.
If you had an automated campaign selling snowshovels in February then guess what – it’s not going to work out very well for you. Perhaps a banal example, but hopefully my point is illustrated.
And secondly – future assumptions. Most marketing automation programmes follow a simple logic like this:
When someone signs up to our website, we’ll send them a welcome email. And then a week after, because a week is a nominally round unit of time, we’ll send out another email. If someone clicks on link A, we’ll send them something else. And if they click on link B, something else.
And so on.
The problem with this is, in my experience, people rarely test these things out. And I mean, they don’t test 1) automated vs. manual; and 2) timings of email waves.
So, you’ve got a whole bunch of assumptions, and a multi-wave process set up with no real benchmarks other than thinking it probably works (and it better had when considering all the time and money you’ve spent on it…)
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes these programmes work fantastically. But sometimes, well, they’re like Sex Panther cologne: 50% of the time, they work all the time.
The challenge in 2014 for marketers will be to ensure they’re accurately measuring results of automated marketing programmes. Many marketers will develop many super complicated automated email series, and some of them will work beautifully. The rest will be, well, automated spam.
6. Custom audiences will make publishers and marketers a bunch of money
Think about this – what’s the one thing that your Facebook and Twitter accounts have in common? To log into them, you use your email address. And yet, up until now, targeting mechanisms for both Facebook and Twitter advertising were hit and miss, at best.
Enter Custom Audiences.
What is a Custom Audience? It’s a whole bunch of awesome, wrapped up in some gnarly, with a pinch of “whoah dude” thrown on top for good measure. It’s where you upload a list of email addresses to Facebook or Twitter and only target the related accounts with ads.
No more wasted demographic targeting. Think of the possibilities!
And, that’s not it Via a very cool company called LiveIntent, you can target your email list in third party email newsletters.
So imagine this – you have an email list, and only 20% of people open your emails. 80% of the list think that you suck and ignore your spam. Take that 80% and load them up into custom audiences across Facebook, Twitter and LiveIntent and all of that money you’ve invested in building your list isn’t lost.
Custom audiences are the future of email marketing, and in 2014, I hope you start using them. I’ll be writing a lot more on Custom Audiences in 2014, so I’ll leave it here for now…
7. Bonus rant: In 2014, email still won’t be sexy, and I’m ok with that.
If I had a nickel for every time an email marketer said something like, “Why don’t people invest enough time and resource in email?” then I’d have at least 50 cents.
Email is fundamentally not a sexy marketing channel. It’s not Whatsapp. It’s not Vine. It’s not Snapchat. It’s a 1980s communication mechanism which is ubiquitous and powerful.
So, in 2014, there will be at least 78,348 blogs with the title “Email’s dead? Think again!” And email marketers around the world will join forces like the Nerdy Avengers to let the world know that email matters.
But in reality, what I hope for is that in 2014, email marketers won’t be the Nerdy Avengers. Instead, I hope they’ll get 11 a side and become Responsive Millwall.
For those of you who, like me, prefer to follow real sports, let me give some context to the Millwall reference.
Millwall are a sarf-east London football club who are renowned for being disliked, and revelling in it. “No one likes us, we don’t care,” or so goes the refrain.
The point is, like Millwall supporters, email marketers have to embrace the hate, so to speak, and carry on doing what they do best – making money from the email channel. Too much time is spent proving the value of email instead of driving value from email.
There will always be a new app, a new social network, a new whatever which will be the latest death knell for email. No matter what, marketers will experiment with these new channels. Some will work, and some won’t.
So instead of spending time arguing why email still delivers amongst the highest ROI of any channel… why not just prove it?
As Karl Marx eloquently wrote:
Email marketers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!
(Note: I may have not remembered the passage exactly as it was written…)
If you aren’t convinced yet, how about this as an added incentive: every time I read a blog or a tweet with the phrase “Email is dead,” I will murder a baby unicorn. If you love unicorns, and I know you do, then stop worrying about email being dead.
It’s not, and never will be, at least not in 2014. | <urn:uuid:256ddade-6940-4226-989a-0f4641a7c2af> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://econsultancy.com/seven-super-exciting-predictions-for-boring-old-email-marketing-in-2014/ | 2018-11-19T17:24:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746061.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119171420-20181119193420-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.939511 | 3,456 | [

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz harshly criticized the recent news that tiny Montana-based firm Whitefish Energy has been awarded a no-bid contract worth hundreds of million of dollars to repair Puerto Rico’s devastated electrical grid.
Calling the contract “alarming” in an interview with Yahoo published on Wednesday, Cruz accused the process of having lacked any “due diligence” and questioned whether the company—which one month ago boasted just two full-time employees—should stay on the job.
“The contract should be voided right away, and a proper process which is clear, transparent, legal, moral and ethical should take place,” Cruz insisted.
“It seems like what the Puerto Rican people are going to be paying for, or the American people are going to be paying for, is an intermediary that doesn’t know what is at stake here and that really has to subcontract everything,” she added. “What we need is somebody that can get the job done and that has the expertise to get the job done.”
Whitefish’s partnership with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, worth $300 million, has prompted many to question just how such a small and seemingly ill-equipped company was given the contract without the competitive serious bidding process one might expect for this type of job. (Incidentally, Whitefish Energy happens to be based in Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s hometown. His son even worked for them briefly!)
Puerto Rican Governor Ricardo Rosselló has defended the contract, saying Whitefish did not mandate an up-front payment from the cash-strapped Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority for its work.
Cruz, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the fiercest critics of the government’s ongoing response to Hurricane Maria.
“This is U.S. taxpayers’ money,” she told Yahoo. “I don’t care if the dollar comes from a Puerto Rican or from a Hawaiian. It’s a dollar.”
This week, Whitefish claimed it had 280 workers–the majority of them subcontractors—working across Puerto Rico. As of Wednesday afternoon, 75% of the island was still without power.
Update, 4:21 PM—On Wednesday Whitefish Energy responded to Cruz’s criticism while deflecting the substance of her comments.
In response, Cruz questioned the motives behind the company’s dismissal of her criticism:
To which Whitefish appeared to threaten withdrawing its workers from the area altogether. | <urn:uuid:3259d141-1266-4617-957c-6dccdca33fbb> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://splinternews.com/san-juan-mayor-condemns-fishy-puerto-rican-energy-contr-1819846977 | 2018-11-19T18:21:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746061.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119171420-20181119193420-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.955017 | 528 | [

The Arduino Uno is the undisputed champion of all development boards, why would you not want to keep your board safe and sound inside this black opaque plastic enclosure? These cases protect your Arduino Uno from things like rogue wires that might short it out while still allowing full access to the board! Simply snap the Uno into the bottom half of the enclosure, then snap the two sides together.
As you may have noticed, these Arduino enclosures are actually an opaque black color. The enclosures are perfect for blending your Uno into a black surface, giving your project a sleeker look.
The enclosure provides slots to access each header, USB port, power jack, the reset button, the AREF and ICSP connectors, as well as feet and vents to ensure the board gets proper cooling and slide-in wall mounting slots. All of the status LEDs on the Uno are visible through the case thanks to light pipes embedded in the design. This is a really durable case that will do a great job protecting your Arduino Uno!
Note: These enclosures are not compatible with the SparkFun Redboard.
Based on 2 ratings:
good shape, good quality. I cut off the parts where my custom shield sticks out and it still snaps together. 5/5 would buy again.
Easy snap together enclosure, does not come with screws or any hardware to hold the board in place, but appears to hold it securely enough that it’s not necessary. | <urn:uuid:a9d0f934-c7fb-4731-bd14-f591bdcdf9a7> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12839 | 2018-11-19T18:16:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746061.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119171420-20181119193420-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.936288 | 299 | [

Alright, we've already established that I'm a bit of a Gleek (translation: Glee geek, or someone who is batsh*t obsessed with the show). So when I heard that Matthew Morrison was releasing his first-ever holiday album Matthew Morrison: A Classic Christmas (out November 19), I jumped at the chance to interview him again and secure an exclusive song to premiere (stream "This Christmas" below). Like his last set of songs, it will have that debonair, Matthew Morrison vibe and was produced by Adam Levine's label, 222 Records. The lineup features his Broadway-trained voice crooning out hits like "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Let it Snow." Plus, you can watch him sing (and dance!) the songs when PBS airs his performance with the National Symphony Orchestra at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, on November 30. But before then, I quizzed him on creating these holiday tunes, being like Mr. Schue off-set, and how our December cover girl, Lea Michele, has been coping with the loss of her late boyfriend, Cory Monteith.
It seems so natural that you would have a holiday album; why did you wait until now to do it?
I just started coming out with music [recently]. I was in the studio with my friend and producer Phil Ramone working on the last album, Where It All Began. It had that great classic feel and it just made me think of the great, classic Christmas songs. We were like, "Since we are all here, why don't we do the holiday songs? Let's revise these timeless songs." It was weird doing holiday songs in March, but we put Christmas lights all around the recording studio and made it feel a little Christmas-y.
How did you rearrange the songs to make them more "Matthew Morrison," to give them your Broadway-pop spin?
A lot of it was the great team I had: the late, great Phil Ramone, and Chris Walden, who orchestrated it. I am not an orchestrator—that is not my forte—but I wanted it to have that Matt Morrison feel. I thought of the great Christmas albums by Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra—I wanted it to have that classic Christmas sound.
Do you have any dance moves prepared for when you perform these songs?
I haven't thought about the performances yet. The hard thing about this process is this is technically my second job, so I had to put a lot of focus into what's going on in Glee right now and doing the lines and dances for that. Nothing is going to be choreographed for sure, but I am a dancer, so I am going to get up there, and whatever feeling my body has, it will just act accordingly.
So we're exclusively premiering "This Christmas" on ELLE.com. Let's talk about that song!
"This Christmas" has more of a pop sensibility to it, which I think was probably the hardest for me to record since I have more of that classic [style]. I love this song, and I tried to make it my own. It is just a fun song, and I need that fun, uptempo release as well.
[soundcloud src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/115948004%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-ZHgd2' width='100%' height='166' moreclass='embed--soundcloud-tracks' position='left']
How would you describe your sound?
Lauren, you are not messing around this morning. You are getting deep now.
We didn't even start with the 'Glee' questions, I haven't gotten deep yet.
For me, my sound is orchestra. I don't obviously sound orchestral, but in music today, I can hear that everything is over-produced and it sounds synthesized and stuff. I miss hearing a beautiful violin solo or a sax solo, which just moves me in a different way. We actually recorded a lot of this album before the orchestra went into it and then, once the orchestra laid down their stuff, I had to go in and re-record. I was just so inspired by what came out of all the musicians. I had a new sense of how I wanted to interpret the songs just by how they interpreted them. So I think there is a great combination—a duality, between myself and this orchestra—and that is where the energy and the life lives. That just sounded really weird but it's early [laughs].
That was deep…and now on to 'Glee!' I know you are filming the show right now—can you give us any spoilers on what we can expect?
Well, we get our scripts probably the day before we start filming so I don't know too much in advance, [but I do know] we will be doing a Billy Joel tribute.
How do you think this season has been going so far? Obviously, it has been really emotional. Has it been hard to film?
It was in the beginning. It was extremely hard. I knew it was going to be hard; I didn't think it would be that hard—just opening up those fresh wounds that we had about Cory [Monteith]. I think the hard part is kind of behind us now, so I think we are all refocused and able to move forward—in a better, more positive way. We have a better outlook on things now, and we are a lot closer as a cast than we ever have been. There is a great energy on set. I feel Cory's presence is still there, and we kind of have a new motivation for this season and obviously for the rest of the run: to do it for him.
That response was a very Mr. Schue one—motivational, empowering…
See? Sometimes he seeps into things and I can't help it.
Do you tend to take on the role of Mr. Schue in real life with the cast? After all, you are more of a veteran than most of them. Do your character and your personality overlap?
Yes, absolutely. It did a lot more in the beginning. Everyone kind of has their likes about them, and they know the show so well. They don't really need my motivation, [but] I think in the beginning there was a lot of that.
It's been announced that unfortunately there are only two seasons left of 'Glee.' What do you hope Mr. Schue and the crew accomplish before we say goodbye?
I don't know what is happening with the show. I know this season will finish like a normal Glee season. Ryan [Murphy] hasn't told me about next season, but he just kind of said that he has something special planned. He likes very high-concept kind of things, so I think that he is going to shake it up a lot with the last season and it is going to be completely something different, leaving the fans on a high note and ending this thing properly.
I hope there is one final tour.
You want another Glee tour?
Yes. Or a movie—Glee The Movie—like the 'Sex and the City' movies. Would you want to be in it?
Um, I don't know. I feel like this thing is such a TV show. But…I dunno...yes, I would love to be in it.
Have you seen Lea Michele's December ELLE cover?
No, I have not seen it. Does she look good?
She looks amazing.
How has it been working with her this season? Everyone says she's so strong.
She is the strongest one of us all. It definitely hit her the hardest. There were a lot times when different people would go to her house. Everyone was on watch with her, and we would just kind of take care of her, making sure she was okay. She has come out of this thing a lot stronger, and I think with a better sense of self. I think she knows herself even more and has grown through this whole experience. A lot of it had to do with Cory, too. I think Cory was someone who was such a great influence on her life and such a positive person for her to be around. They really helped each other grow. So it is great to see her keep that same sensibility of what he brought to her and keep him alive through her actions.
So, you recently got engaged. Any wedding plans yet?
Yes, we have gotten into planning. We are going to get married sometime in early 2015—that is kind of when I can, when my schedule frees up. It is going to be a small intimate wedding, like 40 people.
Is there going to be a theme?
We are both rustic people, so it will probably be very minimalist but quaint—a lot of great lighting and wood tables.
Will you serenade her at the wedding?
Um, there is a chance. I hope for a lot of singing at the wedding. We have a lot of musical friends, and I hope we have a great band that lets everyone come up and do different numbers. It can be one big singing and dancing party.
It will be like Mr. Schue and Emma's wedding on 'Glee!'
Yes, exactly, that is what I am going to model it off of [laughs]. | <urn:uuid:ab296c0f-8c23-4a06-9005-a54cbde296e7> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/news/a23978/matthew-morrison-holiday-album-interview/ | 2018-11-13T07:03:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741294.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113062240-20181113084240-00317.warc.gz | en | 0.985318 | 1,969 | [

In 2014 I was invited to attend the annual convention of the Professional Speaking Association of the UK.
Otherwise known as the PSA.
I was not a speaker back then.
I didn’t even know if I wanted to be one, or if I could make a living from it.
Life was very different for me 4 years ago.
For a start I was unemployed after being made redundant for the 4th time in 10 years, and I was a new mum too.
One of my biggest worries about attending this conference was that I didn’t have a dress to wear for the Gala Dinner. I wasn’t really in the habit of going to gala dinners…and none of my clothes fit me after having my daughter.
I was really worried that my lack of a posh frock would have people find me out as a fraud.
So I took the last £20 from my account and headed to the shops to see if it was even possible to pick up a dress that cheap.
Turns out it was.
£14.99 got me a sparkly black number…I was chuffed.
I felt like a bit of a cheapskate but it would do.
The conference was amazing, I remember looking at the speakers and thinking “That’s what I want to do”
Fast forward a few years and it is exactly what I do….alongside a few other things as well.
That little £14.99 black dress did me well.
I wore it for my first ever after dinner gig, and a charity auction, and an overseas convention gala dinner….and I think a night out on the tiles.
And last week I upgraded it to a new sparkly black dress for this years Professional Speaking Associations convention gala night….and let’s just say this one didn’t cost less than £20 quid.
It wasn’t the only dress I took to that convention either, I packed 8 dresses in fact and I was determined to wear as many of them as possible?
Because I could.
This year I was the final keynote on the Saturday before the gala dinner.
It is an honor to get that slot, a privilege reserved for the best speakers the industry has.
I am not the best speaker the industry has…but I gave it my best shot.
The theme was adventure and my talk was entitled “The BIGGEST Adventure of all” and that is the one where you are your self.
I ummed and arred over my choice of dress for weeks..
- Should I play it safe?
- Should I wear patterns?
- Should I lose some weight?
- Should I commission a dress especially to hide my lumps and bumps
- Should I put together a talk where I play small and hide as much of myself away
Because all of those things were tempting I can tell you.
In the end I opted for this one…it was bright and bold and I felt great in it.
For a lot of women….a dress is never just a dress.
It’s never just something we throw on.
There are normally a series of thoughts and considerations which go on to make sure it is the right dress for the occasion, and even then you sometimes regret your choice.
Through my work as a coach I help women live BIGGER lives by improving their health, wealth and happiness, and often that involves helping them to be more visible.
Now increasing your visibility DOES NOT mean wearing a skin-tight red dress, and sparkly shoes…but what it does mean is dressing in a way which truly reflects your personality without the fear of judgement.
Increasing your visibility can mean learning to like yourself in photos, it can mean speaking up when something annoys or upsets you, it can mean sitting at the front of a workshop rather than sitting in the back.
For the first year that I attended the London regional meeting of the PSA, I used to sit in the back row…consistently.
I never asked questions.
I found it hard to strike up conversations or ask for advice from some of the more successful speakers, and for a while I wondered if I would ever make it as a professional speaker.
But then one meeting I decided to sit at the front.
I did put my hand up…in fact I won a book for my troubles
And bit by bit it became easier to speak to people and ask for help.
During this time I had also made up my mind that I wouldn’t wear dresses like some of the other female speakers in the room. I was an athlete, after all, I wanted to be comfy, I didn’t feel like I should have to dress well to do well.
I now know that was an excuse.
A bullshit idea I had had to try and keep me playing small, playing safe.
I love wearing dresses…I always have, I just wasn’t ready to be fully visible yet.
I think I am now.
I had an epic time at this years 3-day conference, taking 7 of my dresses for a spin…I can’t wait for next years conference.
Book your ticket now at the earlybird price and join me and some of the best speakers in the world. Don’t be afraid to show up as you, to stand out from the crowd. You don’t have to wear a dress to do that, but you do have to be you.
The next round of my Stop Dieting, Start Living Programme goes live next Monday. Click here for more information and to secure your spot.
Don’t show off young lady
Nobody likes a show off Julie
I can’t remember who specifically told me those things growing up, but it’s the overwhelming message I got from the adults around me.
Stay humble, don’t stand out from the crowd, don’t get too big for your boots…give everyone else a chance too.
I’ll just shut up.
I mean thats the alternative isn’t it?
Hiding away, keeping quiet about your skills and qualities, not letting people see the full version of you
I have been thinking about this a lot recently.
It is a very peculiar thing having a presence on social media. Whether you are an online coach and fitness influencer like me, or you simply upload the occasional update on Facebook, getting the balance between showing up and showing off is tricky.
Over the years I have often found myself posting something on Instagram and thinking,
Oh no I’ve turned into one of those annoying people
Or worse still
WTF do I think I am?
It’s actually not that dissimilar to the dilemma I face as a speaker too.
The world of being a professional speaker, you know someone who is actually paid to stand up on a stage and speak to an audience on a range of topics is a weird one, and it’s hard to describe it to anyone who hasn’t experienced it.
I often flip from feelings of absolute imposter syndrome to the feeling that my message is somehow shaping the world in a blink of an eye….never anything in between.
Some people say you have to be a real show off to be a speaker, but I disagree…and it has taken me a while to fully embrace this side of me.
For example I am anxiously waiting for the release of my upcoming Tedx talk…and I’m not sure how I feel about complete and utter strangers seeing and hearing me talk from their desktops and phones all over the world, it is a little nerve-wracking.
But funnily enough…not as nerve-wracking it turns out as speaking in front of your entire family.
That is what I did on Saturday at my older brother Gary’s wedding.
He asked me to make a speech during the ceremony of his wedding to his long-term partner Vicky, and I was absolutely honored…but equally a bit baffled. I am the least lucky in love person you could meet and this is the 2nd time I have been asked to make such a speech at a wedding…the irony is never lost on me.
What the hell could I possibly say about love?
And that’s when it came to me
The reasons why marathons are like marriages
And I started to have a bit of fun with it.
Me and my siblings, and my lovely Mum in the middle keeping us all in check
I wrote the speech sent it over to him and his future wife and then completely forgot about it until the night before when I thought I’d better have a look at it, and that’s when the panic set in.
The whole marathon thing seemed like a ridiculous idea, after all the day was not about me it was about them, and neither of them can run for a bus!!!
But it was too late…I had committed.
As I sat at the front waiting for the bride to arrive I think I was more nervous than my brother, and that’s saying something, but as I looked around the room I knew I was among friends (and of course family old and new) and that if nothing else at least it would be a talking point.
I was super shaky as I walked to the front.
No warm up exercises, no vocal stuff to calm my voice…I just had to give it my best shot.
I took a big breath and began.
A few minutes later after some laughter, lots of nodding and some tears from my wonderful audience I finished up with….
Yes, Marriage is a Marathon.
You will come out of it stronger than when you entered it
Don’t forget Gary & Vicky just how proud we all are of what you have achieved today and remember to smile for the cameras.
I sat back in my seat, my sister hugged me and I shed a tear (OK a few tears), the emotion of it all getting the better of me.
It was done.
I was 100% me, I had tried to be quirky and unique and I had meant every word.
Since the wedding (which was a beautiful affair) I have had so many of my family tell me how great/clever/unique my talk was, and just how proud they were of me, even my Mum mentioned it, and getting a compliment out of her is a bloody miracle (thanks mum)
So the big question is was I showing off, or was I simply showing up?
Showing up, the only way I know how I’m afraid.
Visibility plays a major part in my Living a Bigger Life coaching programme. Helping women to show up in their own lives as themselves without apology. The impact of this on their relationships, their careers and in achieving their goals is phenomenal.
The next cohort of this 3-month programme starts on the 17th of September. To secure your spot or to ask me any questions you might have, feel free to drop me a line at [email protected]
A massive congratulations to the happy couple, and thank you so much for allowing me to play a part in your big day. | <urn:uuid:70ee165b-cf1e-47a8-a2b5-4d0e3670097f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://juliecreffield.com/category/speaking/ | 2018-11-14T20:13:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742263.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114191308-20181114213308-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.97764 | 2,358 | [

After reading through some previous posts, I realized I haven’t written a ‘rambles and rants’ in a while! I’ve been trying to juggle a few too many things at once (saying no can be hard..) and made some exciting decisions on a new (short term) job change!
- Baking away my days off. I’m pretty sure I was a baker in my past life and so I’ve been spending my days off baking in some form or other. I’ve branched into the world of yeast-based treats which has been a nerdy fun time for me.
(Who doesn’t love some home made cinnamon buns??)
- Met with the BC Nutrition Month volunteers last week. The dietitians/dietetics students are all pretty amazing and come with their own skills, thought processes and ideas, making the group well rounded and full of great energy. I’m really excited to be working with all of them and to see what we come up with for Nutrition Month 2017!
- Being a preceptor. The past couple weeks have involved being one of the research preceptors for one of the Fraser Health intern research projects, which is a continuation of the project I worked on a student. I’m also a preceptor for a clinical rotation for one of the Surrey Memorial interns which has been a huge learning curve for me! One thing I love about interns is that they question everything we do as Clinical Dietitians, which forces me to take a step back and go back to the basics, explaining why we do what we do, or make me question why I even do things a certain way. It’s been a tiring past week (with 2 more weeks to go!) but has been so fulfilling already.
- Accepting a (temporary) job in Abbotsford. Although I’m super sad to be leaving the surgical team at Surrey Memorial and the dietitians there, I’m crazy stoked (and nervous AF) for this new job which involves an area of practice I don’t have a ton of experience in. It’s a combination of outpatient clinics including the Heart Function Clinic, GP Clinic and Youth Clinic. I know only bits and pieces about the job itself but after talking to the RD in the position right now, it’s sounds so cool!! Plus I can’t wait to be trained by her and pick her brain about her approach to nutrition counseling outpatient clients.
- Trip planning. At least 1-2 times a year, my guy and I go away for a couple weeks to explore the world. Out last trip: Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. Our next trip: Bolivia and Peru! Expect tons of photos next month on our travel adventures!
There’s lots of other little things going on that I’ll be sharing next month (plus I don’t want to make this post too long!) I may be taking some breaks in November from the blogging world due to my birthday celebrations and travelling but I’ll try to keep up with my posts regardless!
Also.. Happy (early) Halloween!
Have you been involved with anything new and exciting the past month?

A man accused of killing four people eight years ago in Des Moines is headed for trial.
King County Superior Court Judge Palmer Robinson ruled Wednesday that Leemah Carneh is mentally competent.
Questions about his mental state have delayed the trial, and the 27-year-old underwent treatment at Western State Hospital in Lakewood. Defense lawyers say Carneh had extensive delusions about a religion he created called “Biblica Anglica.”
Prosecutors allege he was obsessed with a high school cheerleader in 2001 and stabbed the 17-year-old, her boyfriend and her boyfriend’s parents.
A plea of not guilty was entered for Carneh at Wednesday’s arraignment on four aggravated murder charges, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported.

03 Sep LiViNG AT THE PEAK
One of my dearest friends responded to One Way To Go. I will keep her anonymous, and this email is not to put her on blast. However she inspired me with this line from her response:
“It never ends…we have to live off less and get used to the fact the best days have passed.”
WHAT! WHY NOT! WHY DOESN’T IT END!
I was one of those people who believed that you “have to live off less and get used to the fact the best days have passed”. I spent half my life living in the valley “content”. I made myself happy with the ideal that “just enough to survive” was good enough for me. This is what I call “Inherited Poverty”. This is habit common to the “have-nots”.
When I got sick in June 2012, I decided I had enough. I made the decision that I would no longer paralyze myself or my life by believing in this idea that surviving was good enough for me and my family. After walking through the valley all of these years, I finally starting looking towards the peak.
What is the peak? The peak is where real living happens. We all have been to the peak plenty of times in our lives. It comes in different experiences and forms. Have you ever wondered why Friday is so great? if you take the days of the week and write them in a single line, then turn that line on an angle, Friday is the peak. Damn near every Friday of your life has been an exciting day. Your attitude is always T.G.I.F!
Why is it not the same for Monday? Monday is the worst day of the week by choice. It never ends… is a choice. living off less…is a choice. Why not choose to live everyday like it is Friday? Why not LIVE AT THE PEAK?
We never focus on LIVING AT THE PEAK because we don’t recognize the peak. It is a simple ideal but requires a lot of work to maintain, much more work then most of us are willing to put in, so we are content with living in the valley. Do you believe that you are taking advantage of all your life has to offer? I know I am not but I AM HEADED TOWARD THE PEAK!
So I ask, where is your peak? can you see your peak or are there to many clouds for you? Today, define your peak. Then get your faith. You have to start thinking, if you can see the peak, then you can get to the peak.
Not now but RIGHT NOW, CHANGE YOUR MIND.

Over the course of the Closed Beta, and Open Beta season I have seen players quit Ghost Recon Online because they claim it was too difficult. With the cover system being the main feature of the game, along with special abilities for the three different class it is no wonder why players claim that it is too difficult. Difficult in a sense that this game takes a bit more strategy, skill and especially patience compared to the generic run and gun shooters. In Call of Duty, players run and gun all the time with no sense of hesitation, but being ghost recon is a bit different, running and gunning will get you killed (unless your a recon that has cloak). The cover system is what I think makes this game so difficult, it is either players learn to adapt to a new game setting, or players learn to quit a game so soon. But other than the games mechanics, the level up system is what I also truly see frustrating players. I do agree with the fact that higher level players shouldn’t have a major advantage over lower level players, but with time comes great opportunity. I know it is difficult versing players who have a higher level weapon (which often is considered better than the lower level weapons), with better armor, devices and a major experience gap but that just means it is more difficult to kill them. If you are a true “Ghost” then you will stick it out through good and bad times.
The truth behind Ghost Recon Online is that it is a difficult game that require a lot of tactics, skills, and a whole bunch of luck. The cover system along with the use of abilities will either make the difference between an average player, to a highly competitive player. Anyone can go behind a wall and start shooting, but with the use of effective timing, and a little bit of luck a kill can be reached. I have always talked about luck, but with the critical system having a certain percentage to activate after every shot, it can really make the difference in a battle. Having a critical hit can relieve you from firing one more round into another player, which saves you time, ammo and sometimes your life.
With three classes to choose with from such as an Assault (Assault Rifles, and shotguns), Recon (Snipers and Sub- Machine Guns) and Specialist (Light Machine Guns and Shotguns) it might make it a difficult choice for players to choose from. But along with other variables such as the type of armor, health and even abilities players are always complaining about either other classes being too strong or too weak. Every class has their respective strong points and weak points and should be played accordingly for maximum efficiency. Perhaps it is the lack of knowledge of each class but when you are having trouble with a class, there is another player who excels at it. Know each class, guns, armor and even devices strong and weak points and players shouldn’t have a difficult time choosing. Whether you play the class the way it is suppose to be played, or play the class how ever you want it will be a difficult match if you don’t know what you are doing.
Leveling up and having access to better weapons is what players sometimes complain about. Also known as a leveling system, players are being frustrated with players having better access to weapons. Here is how difficult it gets facing a higher level player. I know the cheytac or dragunov is much better than the GI~level 10 snipers, or the f2000 having better control than the super fast firing sar-21 c assault but these weapons are much better (stat wise than the lower level weapons). The armor difference between a low level armor and a high level armor is huge. Players who have high level armor, either move faster, or receive more hits compared to a lower level. Devices can also be an issue as the squad device can give a little boost to players. Devices can range from faster device recharge, gunshot detector to more armor. Having a high level device ability can mean a player can use that ability more often, have better effects and/or be much more deadly than a low level using the exact same device. Other than the controls of the game, this is one huge factor that makes the game a bit more difficult. Facing a team of higher levels can ultimately spell defeat if your team cannot counter attack. But don’t be discourage just because these players have higher level armor than you. By playing the game fluently and giving your best shot tactically, and skillfully these “higher level” enemies will not bother you. Take upon the challenge and if you are a low level beating a high level with full equipment, imagine what you can do once you buy full high level gear and weapons. Just because these enemies have a higher advantage stat wise, doesn’t mean that they are invincible. This will help you become a better player as you know that the enemy has an upper hand while you try your best to kill them.
This game has a steep learning curve, so steep that Ghost Recon Online has implemented a matchmaking system only for low levels (1-5). This goes to show, with a lot of quitting threads and posts that this game is not your typical shooter. With a difficulty that is evident, players who quit always say that this game should not be recommended to anyone. I agree that this game shouldn’t be recommended for anyone, anyone who can’t take a good skill base challenge | <urn:uuid:6569b446-da44-4f64-bb09-8eaebbd5dd1c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.runescape3account.com/2012/12/08/ghost-recon-online-the-fact-that-it-is-a-difficult-game/ | 2018-11-18T14:52:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744381.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118135147-20181118161147-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.97304 | 1,110 | [

Before the final season of Lost began, we presented you our infallible Jack Likability Index — which, to be fair, was more of a Dislikabilty Index (and no, we did not mean to foreshadow our recapper’s disenchantment with the show this season). To balance things out as the show comes to a close with Sunday’s finale, we’re bringing you a genuine Likability Index, this time featuring everyone’s favorite dimpled con man, Sawyer. Ironically, while Jack was supposed to be the hero and Sawyer the bad boy, it was the former James Ford whom, in spite of all his foibles (cold-blooded murder, bad bomb-dismantling decisions), we kept rooting for. Here are the peaks (and valleys) of his charming moments throughout the run of the series.

Strong written communication consistently ranks among employers’ top desired skills. It is a skill that transverses disciplines, as most professionals need to know how to communicate clearly in writing. Yet knowing where to start building your written communication skills can be challenging. We recommend starting with setting clear writing goals. The following resources will guide you in forming clear, actionable writing goals.
The first step in setting a writing goal is getting to know yourself as a writer. What are your strengths and improvement areas as a writer? What stresses you out about writing? What is your typical writing routine, and are there ways to improve that process? To answer these questions, you may consider the following steps:
Once you have this information, ask yourself: What did I learn about myself as a writer, what specific patterns or practices in my writing or writing process would I like to change, and what steps do I need to take in order to develop those skills? You can use your responses to start setting writing-specific goals.
At this point, you may be asking yourself: What is a writing-specific goal and how do I set one? Let's start with what a writing goal is.
A writing goal is an objective you set to build on and enhance a particular skill or set of skills that influence your writing. Writing goals, in this regard, are about identifying skills in your writing or patterns in your writing process that need growth and development.
You may find that, based on what you learned about yourself as a writer in the “Getting Started” section, your writing goals are related to mastering APA citations and references or establishing a better method for organizing ideas or improving your knowledge of academic writing and its impact on tone. This list is a quick preview of possible goals; however, there are countless, other writing-specific goals to consider, including but not limited to clarity, cohesion, flow, analysis, synthesis, paraphrasing, and grammar skills. Each of these areas is an excellent basis for establishing a writing goal.
The next step is to use SMART Goal Criteria to ensure your goal can be realistically achieved.
The SMART Goals Guide is an excellent tool for ensuring you set clear, manageable writing goals. It helps to establish that your writing goals are:
S–Specific: Is your goal focused and specific? Does it avoid generalizations and abstractions?
M–Measureable: Can you track your progress and completion? What indicators will you use?
A–Achievable: Is this goal within your control? Do you have the necessary resources for success?
R–Relevant: How does this goal impact your skills set and where you want to be?
T–Timely: Does this goal have a reasonable timeline and completion date?
The Academic Skills Center has an excellent resource that walks you through how to develop SMART goals. Keep it on hand as you draft and revise your writing goals.
Once you have established your writing goals, keep in mind that you don’t have to set out achieving those goals all on your own. We are here to support your goal progress and overall writing skill development. We encourage you to set up a paper review appointment and share those writing goals with our writing instructors. Together, we can discover more ways to support your path to writing goal success.

When you have a few occasions to take into account it…the heart itself is a distinctive little bit of anatomical machinery? Wonderful in how it is manufactured, so simple yet so complicated. Which is bind-boggling to add-just how many conditions can lead it to breakdown. The center has four valves located within, that regulate blood from it and into various areas of the physical body. They will be the aortic, pulmonary, bicuspid and tricuspid or mitral valves. It’s interesting to notice here, that the mitral valve is the only valve which has two leaflets. The other three have three leaflets that cover their specific valves respectively. I will not enter details about these other valves in this specific article. I’ll concentrate more on the Mitral Valve rather, which will present more of an pressing concern with center related murmurs, than a few of the other center valves do.
Upon looking at the mitral valve, it seems to appear to be they have two peaks and it is somewhat similar to look at to a Bishop’s miter. John Brereton Barlow described Mitral Valve Prolapse in 1966 first. It really is an irregular bulging outward; of the leaflet that closes more than a thickened Mitral or Bicuspid Valve, which protrudes backwards in to the remaining atrium of the center. This problem occurs during contraction or systole of the heart also. (MVP) or mitral valve prolapse in addition has been known as “Balloon Mitral Valve, Straight-Back Symptoms, Click-Murmur Symptoms and Barlow’s Symptoms”.
Generally MVP or Mitral Valve Prolapse is usually benign in nature and will not often present any real problems. MVP of the type can be viewed as classic in origins. MVP can become more serious and considered traditional when infective endocarditis exists with it mainly, mitral regurgitation or congestive center failure. And in some instances cardiac arrest, leading to sudden loss of life may appear sometimes. Why is this syndrome unusual, is the known truth that whenever the mitral valve closes, after bloodstream is ejected from within; the leaflet covering it generally does not make a good seal or close consistently over it. This leads to a back-flow or regurgitation back again through this valve and in to the higher still left atria of the center. This isn’t good just because an unexpected arrhythmia, may appear. At these times your center can begin abruptly beating very quickly and. Inside a worse case situation atrial fibrillation can form, where in fact the heart can be quivering rather than pumping blood actually.
Upon evaluation by your physician, a clicking audio or murmur is produced. This is actually the audio that the doctor can hear through his / her stethoscope so that as briefly described, is made by the family member back again blood circulation in to the atria. Despite the fact that the murmur made by a prolapsed mitral valve can be noticed with medical Treatment Practitioner’s stethoscope, this isn’t the situation always. And if your physician considers that you may have MVP Symptoms, they may claim that you follow-up with an echocardiogram further. An echocardiogram is a kind of sonogram of your center. It appears deeper in to the center muscle with the different regions of it like the valves. It really is non-invasive this means no kind of admittance or medical procedure is required. Any kind of abnormalities that are suspected by the doctor can frequently be verified with an echocardiogram, however, not in every full cases.
Read more: stethoscope reviews ratings
Symptoms of Mitral Valve Prolapse may be few to non-e. About 60% of people do not know they have the disorder, because they never experience…upper body pain that comes up for no apparent reason suddenly. Migraines and anxiety attacks are a few of the symptoms that are associated with MVP also. Typically about (11% to 15%) of patients with MVP do experience shortness of breathing and upper body pain. these symptoms can be found in men 50 years or older often. The symptoms are usually related way more with traditional symptoms of the disorder rather than with classic ones. Upper body pain is one of the primary reasons besides panic disorders, present with palpitations, that bring an individual battling with mitral valve prolapse to the err.
Symptoms of MVP do not usually occur prior to the age group of fourteen and studies show that about 6 percent of women have MVP and about two percent of men have the problem. However studies likewise have shown that as a woman’s age group boosts her incidence of the center valve disorder reduces which includes puzzled some researcher’s as to the reasons this is actually the case. Newer data also shows that there can be a similar prevalence of (MVP) between women and men. Also the proportion of young men to old men with mitral valve prolapse is approximately the same.
Despite the fact that the direct reason behind Mitral Valve Prolapse is not actually known, it is associated with another diseases usually; such as diseases of the center muscle, coronary artery disease and atrial sepals defect which more often than not occurs at delivery. Also as stated previously in mention of the percentage of patients that do experience the symptoms in accordance with MVP. Forty percent of these individuals likewise have (ANS) or Autonomic Anxious System Disorder. Dysautonomia is the word used when this technique is out-of-balance or out of synch, if you shall. The Parasympathetic and Sympathetic anxious system that coincides with the autonomic anxious system can totally toss your body out of whack. All bodily processes for example…Temp, blood pressure, digestive function, vision, heartbeat and respiration are managed by the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems also.
And as a total result from the aforementioned, a few of the symptoms that can arise from these nervous systems being out of synch with one another, are (IBS) or Irritable Colon Syndrome, Panic disorders, exhaustion, palpitations and migraines. Interesting to note also, is that approximately 95% of individuals with Dysautonomia in mixture with Mitral Valve Prolapse-have nothing at all wrong using their hearts in any way. Individuals not delivered with MVP, usually develop it from various other condition that can take into account it. (Scoliosis) or an irregular curvature of the backbone ,can be an example of a kind of connective tissues disorder that can accounts as a different one of these called conditions.
As well as the combined band of patients who do have symptoms related to MVP symptoms, further treatment may be employed to correct fast and/or abnormal heart rhythms. Beta-Blocker drugs help with this technique by relaxing arteries by reducing the blood circulation pressure within the arteries of the heart-in switch letting it defeat and pump bloodstream from the veins and valves on a comparatively more normal level. If the problem is regarded as serious enough in character still, than surgery can be an option that may be performed by trimming back again the leaflet that addresses the mitral valve. By doing so will lead to a tighter and more close over it even, preventing backward blood circulation from the remaining ventricle in to the upper still left atria.
Vital that you consider to any surgery here also, it is an even, outpatient procedure like a colons Topy, would be that the likelihood of strep occurring is better consequently of the or other kind of medical procedure being performed. Specific patients who’ve an echocardiogram derive from their doctor that presents leakage over the mitral valve should get worried with safeguarding themselves from (endocarditis), or irritation of the center muscle; mitral valve regurgitation and arrhythmia’s. Infection from minor surgical treatments as observed above can result in strep. Having oral work performed that could cause some blood loss also, is one of the very most prevalent ways for strep to build up probably. However numerous other minimal surgical treatments that can cause some blood loss like colonoscopies also raise the chances of obtaining a strep infection.
Antibiotics are accustomed to combat various bacterial attacks; because they strike a wide spectrum of different kinds of bacteria, which strep is one of. Ahead of any surgical treatments antibiotic is directed at a person to avoid illness of the mitral valve, during surgeries. Two dosages receive 1 hour before it usually, and then six hours following the treatment again. In patients with unusual center arrhythmia’s or upper body pain, there are medications utilized also, to avoid these nagging problems from occurring as well. Within a worse case situation, biological or mechanical valves, owned by a pig if it’s mechanized in character previously, or that of a human being if it’s biological, are accustomed to replace a faulty mitral valve. Despite the fact that this is effective if it’s a mechanized valve especially, since it is maintained an individual life time usually. On the drawback is the actual fact that folks with mechanized valves also need to take bloodstream thinners for the others of their lives. A good example of many of these bloodstream thinner’s is either Coumadin (Warfarin) or Plavix. The goal of the bloodstream thinner is to avoid platelets from sticking with the internal workings of the valve itself and also to prevent breakdown. Biological or individual valves usually do not be so long-lasting and usually need changing every a decade or so.
When you take every one of the relative information about mitral valve prolapse into perspective, the entire prognosis because of this volvuli center condition is good. And if you go through the figures there are nearer, relatively speaking, no more than five percent or less of people actually experience symptoms with regards to their condition. Not a huge number when you see it. In addition it isn’t anyone’s mistake for having developed an ailment like MVP. Remember you were either blessed with it, or inherited it, via genetics at delivery possibly. For others it might have once developed from an underlying prior illness again…scarlet fever or scoliosis-which is not the individuals fault really, for having developed it from these basic causes to begin with. Several positive factors to reveal upon is that however, if you or someone you care about has mitral valve prolapse; it isn’t really considered a handicap in the sense of what we should define a genuine true handicap to be. You won’t prevent you from acquiring gainful work nor does it prevent you from executing your everyday daily routines.
It is only a small condition that medication can correct and if you need to, small surgery can repair, to a valve that may need to be trimmed back again or replaced hardly ever, and I wish to emphasize the term here rarely. Don’t forget that so much more serious conditions can occur that can do influence our hearts, too numerous to say. Those conditions are a few of the much more serious ones that may potentially leave us disabled forever or worse eliminate us. It’s funny when you think about how exactly fortunate most of us are to have our two hip and legs and two hands…some individuals aren’t so lucky to have these so when I hear friends or others complain on- how hard things are and how lousy of the day that they had, I simply remind these to “Have A Heart”, because there are a great number of individuals away there who could only wish these were within shoes or as healthy when you are! | <urn:uuid:90f9a032-3cc7-4342-b4ad-31ee72048e6f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://patrickhunterblog.wordpress.com/ | 2018-11-21T05:57:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747215.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121052254-20181121074254-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.954162 | 2,423 | [

The AF Series, designed specifically for military, special forces, and first responders, provides an alternative to the RIB for applications that require an easily transportable, shallow draft, inflatable boat.Featuring heavy duty 1880 dtx Hypalon tubes, aluminum floors, lifelines, heavy duty rubstrakes, and performance speed tubes, the AF Series offers deck space and performance to satisfy a range of missions. From rapid deployment, assault operations, dive support, and rescue applications, the AF delivers versatility, durability, and performance. Designed to carry large payloads on a plane using lower horsepower, the AF range delivers unparalleled performance and maneuverability. Whether operating in open or shallow water, the innovative hull shape with incorporated speed tubes provides stability and tracking ability through tight turns at high speeds.Speed tubes make the difference delivering the AF's signature performance characteristics. In addition to providing the needed lift for the boat to plane at low speeds with full loads, the speed tubes provide stability through tight turns. When the boat goes into a sharp turn at speed, the flow or water travels under the exterior membrane of the speed tube and flows directly into the interior of the second tube trapping the flow of water which thereby anchors the boat into the water to prevent slipping and reducing the likelihood of capsizing.

Social Media Evidence: How Your Photos and Posts May Land You In Jail
The advent of technology has had an significant impact on the way that our society operates. These days, when an individual is involved in an activity, there is usually a photo of the activity being performed on the individual’s social media website. The idea is that we love to publish elements of our lives that make us endearing or interesting to our readers. This “open book” mentality can be significant when showing off our better qualities, but can be extremely detrimental if the photo is depicting a darker scene.
Recently in Florida, there are have been multiple defendants who have been arrested and had criminal proceedings brought against them for the photos and information that they have posted to social media sites like Instagram and Facebook. One of the defendants, known as “Crazy Goat,” published photos of himself loading guns on Instagram; he was arrested for illegal weapons possession. Another Floridian in 2013, for example, posted a photo of his dead wife whom he had just shot and a confession on Facebook. He is currently claiming self-defense.
Social Media Posts and Photos Are Fair Game for Law Enforcement
Many have asked how this is legal. Can our private information and photos from our social media accounts be scoured and used against us? Well, the answer will basically tell you that your social media accounts are anything but private. Providing information to a third party such as a social media site implies very little privacy rights. You have a low risk of expectation of privacy on these sites because you are sharing details, photos, and information about your life to the public, virtual world. Law enforcement may request information from the social media third party. Or in many cases, may acquire a warrant if the social media site is not automatically forthcoming with the information.
Acquiring this information is permitted due to an amendment of the Rules of Civil Procedure which states that electronically stored information (ESI) is discoverable in preparation for trial. This conclusion means that social media evidence is game.
The Admissibility of Social Media Evidence in Criminal Proceedings
The use of social media evidence in criminal proceedings is limited in scope based not only on its use, but also its preservation. When law enforcement is interested in information that can be found on a social media site, they will request the information from the site. Some sites, if a warrant is not involved, may notify the intended user that a request has been made by law enforcement of their intent to see the information posted on the site. This is seen as a tip-off and the user may try to destroy the information.
Preservation of Social Media Evidence
Because of this fear of destruction of evidence, law enforcement may put into effect preservation requests, in hopes of freezing the information until a warrant has been put forth or in preparation for trial. There is one website, for example, the Wayback Machine, which acts a timeline and history archive for any user. More than 150 billion pages may be stored on any one person and a user may review the pages that were surfed over a certain time period.
Social Media Evidence: What Makes it Admissible?
Preservation is not the only hurdle with regards to social media evidence. The use of social media evidence also has its own issues because the evidence must be proven in court that it should be admissible because it is reliable, relevant, and authentic. This can be rather tricky when one never knows who really is at the helm of the keyboard.
These are some of the ways in which social media evidence may be proven as admissible during criminal proceedings:
- Authentication: many times with social media evidence, there is an issue of anonymity and fear that the evidence has been altered. In Florida, as long as there is sufficient evidence by which a reasonable person may believe that it is genuine, the low threshold of authenticity is met.
- Personal knowledge: if there is witness who can attest to the information as being genuine and authentic.
- Distinctive characteristics of the evidence: if there are distinctive traits of the evidence that would make it reasonable that only this person would have posted or published the information in question.
Criminal Defense Attorney in Fort Lauderdale
The use of social media evidence is new and quite complex. If you have been arrested based on social media evidence, it is important to be defended by an experienced Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney like Kevin J. Kulik who may be able to block the use of this social media evidence. Contact the Law Offices of Kevin J. Kulik today for a free and confidential consultation. | <urn:uuid:08630ab2-aabc-443a-ac22-f409311e9f87> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.kevinkuliklaw.com/social-media-evidence-how-your-photos-and-posts-may-land-you-in-jail/ | 2018-11-13T19:21:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741340.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113173927-20181113195927-00197.warc.gz | en | 0.959635 | 932 | [

The Dow andS&P 500 posted fractionalgains.The blue chips barelyfinishedhigher on the day, up 3 points and staying above 21,000, ending at 21,005.71.
Climbing 0.2% was the Nasdaq composite, to 5870.75.
At our meeting later this month, the committee will evaluate whether employment and inflation are continuing to evolve in line with our expectations, in which case a further adjustment of the federal funds rate would likely be appropriate, Yellen said in a 1 p.m. ET speech at the Executives Club of Chicago.
While Yellen couched her remark in conditional terms that depend on economic data, she preceded it by citinga job market that has been strengthening and inflation that has been rising toward our target of 2% annually.

The stock market lost more ground on Friday, but major market benchmarks still managed to post healthy gains as 2016 drew to a close. Double-digit percentage gains for the year continued the bull market, and investors generally enjoyed positive momentum despite the sluggish levels of trading activity during the inter-holiday week. Nevertheless, some stocks suffered more precipitous declines, and U.S. Steel (NYSE:X), EnteroMedics (NASDAQ:ETRM), and McEwen Mining (NYSE:MUX) were among the worst performers on the last trading day of the year. Below, we’ll look more closely at these stocks to tell you why they did so poorly.

This rapid growth in legal pot has create quite the demand for marijuana stocks. The seven largest marijuana stocks by market cap have all put on a show over the past couple of years. Here are those seven “green giants” listed with their market caps as of March 17, 2017, along with their trailing one-year total returns.
GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:GWPH): $3.0 billion, up 64% Canopy Growth Corp. (NASDAQOTH:TWMJF): $904 million, up 259% Aphria (NASDAQOTH:APHQF) $440 million, up 381% Aurora Cannabis (NASDAQOTH:ACBFF): $482 million, up 299% AXIM Biotechnologies (NASDAQOTH:AXIM): $562 million, up 1,720% Corbus Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:CRBP): $450 million, up 431% Medical Marijuana (NASDAQOTH:MJNA): $221 million, up 254%
As you can see, these are some hefty valuations — and some exceptionally strong moves higher on the heels of marijuana’s expansion. With the exception of GW Pharmaceuticals, every one of the largest marijuana stocks has at least tripled in value over the trailing 12 months, with cannabinoid-based drug developer AXIM Biotechnologies skyrocketing more than 1,700%!

There are plenty of reasons for investors to like three marijuana stocks in particular — GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:GWPH), Insys Therapeutics (NASDAQ:INSY), and Aphria (NASDAQOTH:APHQF). In fact, there are at least 661 million reasons. That’s the amount of cash in U.S. dollars that the three companies have combined. Here’s why the cash stockpiles held by GW, Insys, and Apria are important.

You give me money, I’ll give you creative.
I’ll start when the check clears.
Time is money. More time is more money.
I’ll listen to you. You listen to me.
You tell me what you want, I’ll tell you what you need.
You want me to be on time, I want you to be on time.
What you use is yours, what you don’t is mine.
I can’t give you stuff I don’t own.
I’ll try not to be an ass, you should do the same.
If you want something that’s been done before, use that.
If you want your way, you have to pay.
If you don’t pay, I have final say. > Let’s create something great together.
Part of me really likes it. It’s clear, understandable, and much more open than regular terms, which feel designed to obfuscate and cause more issues (and cost) than they prevent or resolve.
Another part of me finds it really facetious, almost vulgar, and verging on combative more than extra communicative. The first three lines being about money, the fifth, suggesting infallibility in the part of the contractor and thereafter, it just comes across as accusatory and defensive, more like a frustrated checklist of what has previously gone wrong for this designer, rather than a piece of communication meant for commencing a secure and positive relationship.
Like someone starting a sentence with “Now, I don’t want to come across as nasty or bitter or anything, but…”. Too late. job done. Don’t think of a pink elephant.
The idea then, really nice, the execution, perhaps they just need a hug? | <urn:uuid:2425e1dd-1ddf-4505-a3cd-61f1092a9c7d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://documenteering.com/2017/07/10/minimal-terms-maximum-angst/ | 2018-11-14T23:32:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742322.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114232605-20181115014605-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.953979 | 386 | [

Phone rings at work. I see on my screen it’s from a popular hotel chain; I stayed at one of their hotels just recently for a software conference.
“Development. This is Lisa.”
“Uh, yes. Is this Lisa Mc…McCuh…McCulligahununnnnhuh?”
The woman launches into her pitch. She’s happy to see that my family has recently stayed at a Brand X hotel. She hopes we had a wonderful vacation. She lets me know that the call may be recorded for “quality purposes.” And then she asks:
“Tell me, Mizzus McCollum, when was the last time you enjoyed margaritas at Myrtle Beach?”
I look at the clock. It’s 4:30. I’ve finished most of my pressing tasks for the day. I’m being called at work, but I decide to go ahead and keep the conversation going.
“Well, I haven’t had a drink in – let’s see – nine years.”
“Oh. OH. Uh…”
“I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a margarita.”
“Well. I’m sorry about that. Certainly you can have a non-alcoholic beverage.”
“Oh, thank you!”
“Now, you say you’ve been to Myrtle Beach?”
“Yes. 20 years ago? It was for a family reunion.”
“I’d just shaved one side of my head and it was a SCANDAL. Also? My sister had just gotten her first tattoo and she didn’t want anyone to know about it so she wore socks the WHOLE TIME. In Myrtle Beach. In August.”
“She even wore socks to the HOT TUB. I’m like, TINA. Are you seriously going to wear ONE SOCK in the HOT TUB?”
“In hindsight, it didn’t matter, really, because everyone else was fixated on my hair. You know what’s funny, though? We both have tattoos now. Like, HUGE ones. And here she was all worried about this little tiny flower on her ankle. Which sort of looks like a turtle.”
“Well…Mrs. McCunnnn. With your permission, I would like to put you on a list to receive promotions about exciting timeshare opportunities in Myrtle Beach. Perhaps you and your family will have another reunion.”
“Well, I don’t know. Does that mean you’re gonna keep calling me at work?”
From the other side of my cubicle wall I hear my friend Meg’s bemused sputter.
“Miz McCorrrum, I want to thank you for your time. You have a nice night.” | <urn:uuid:945f9293-3865-4b9d-a68a-6dd98302b363> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://lisamccolgan.com/2011/08/03/exciting-opportunities/ | 2018-11-15T01:01:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742322.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114232605-20181115014605-00357.warc.gz | en | 0.96217 | 643 | [

U.S. MILITARY TO BE DISMANTLED
WASHINGTON D.C. At the Capitol, Republicans stopped short of saying that the poor and disabled would face a two-year prison term. The White House confirmed through Friday that President Clinton included their plan to outlaw those 36 million poor and disabled Americans unless the senate voted 54-44 late Thursday for shifting federal control over much life to mothers of any doctor convicted of banning certain late term abortions. No medical-insurance program deal for the states could veto a bill. Congress rarely performed the abortions. No other procedure could save the budget unless it has nearly worked its way there.
President Clinton would be performing the procedure.

When the Gold Medal awards were handed out at this year’s European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress in Barcelona, one of the three recipients was Professor Petr Widimský. The 2014 ESC Congress marks 15 years since Prof. Widimský’s presentation in Barcelona of his PRAGUE 1 study. In the intervening years, additional PRAGUE studies have continued Prof. Widimský’s work on primary PCI as the preferred perfusion strategy in angioplasty. Whereas the initial PRAGUE study demonstrated the advantage of PCI over thrombolysis in acute MI, the results of PRAGUE 2 led to the adoption of a primary PCI programme in the Czech Republic, and the subsequent adoption of the first guidelines published by the Czech Society of Cardiology in 2002.
Today, the efficient infrastructure of the PRAGUE programme has been translated into other cardiology investigations. 19 PRAGUE studies have been launched, 12 completed, with two more are in the planning stages. Prof. Widimský is also credited with launching the ESC’s ‘Stent for Life’ initiative with William Wijins in 2008. Following a survey which showed disparity in the use of primary PCI for MI throughout European countries, ‘Stent for Life’ encouraged equal access to primary PCI by citing guideline implementation barriers and outlining plans for the individual needs of different countries. As a consequence, PCI rates have doubled in six target countries.
Prof. Widimský is the head of the Cardiocenter at University Hospital Kralovske Vinohrady, which he founded, as well as chair of the Cardiology Department at the Third Faculty of Medicine at Charles University and University Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic. He has worked as an interventional cardiologist since 1991, completing more than 5,000 PCI procedures and twice as many coronary angiograms. He has been an expert consultant at the Bulgarian Cardiology Institute, and is an Honorary Member of the Polish Society of Cardiology.
He is currently serving as the president of the Czech Society of Cardiology (2011-2015). In 2011 at the beginning of his presidency, Prof. Widimský was awarded the most prestigious research award in the Czech Republic, “The Czech Heard 2011”. The award was presented to him by Czech Prime Minister Petr Necas.
Prof. Widimský earned his PhD with a thesis titled “Echocardiography in coronary artery disease.” The next year, he was the winner of the “Young Cardiologists Award” within the East European Countries. He soon became a member of the Scientific Committee of the ESC, grading abstracts for annual congresses. In 1988, he became one of only seven Czech cardiologists to be named “Founding Fellow” of the ESC. In 1995, he was awarded a DrSc degree upon completion of his thesis on “Myocardial function and perfusion in coronary artery disease”.
He has published more than 500 manuscripts, including hundreds which have appeared on PubMed and the Web of Science. He is also the author of 20 textbooks or chapters within textbooks for teaching and research. He has served on the editorial boards for the European Heart Journal and Cor et Vasa, among other journals.
HIs 2014 ESC Gold Medal award follows a Silver Medal awarded by the ESC to Prof. Widimský in 2008.

In many of today’s commercial food stores and restaurants in the U.S., almost 80% of all food is processed, packaged, irradiated, pasteurized, homogenized or refined to such a degree, that almost all nutrient content is completely wiped out, leaving you eating empty calories that provide no lasting nutritional benefit for your body and immune system.
The natural foods which are whole foods, however, are jammed packed with nutrition that is hard to come by in a commercial grocery store — even Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, which were thought to be far superior quality foods, are not free of GMOs (genetically modified organisms), yet many of these food products are sold to their loyal customers.
But what’s even more troubling about GMOs is this: back in the mid 1990’s, the American food supply was systematically hijacked by a biotech and pesticide company which quietly snuck GMOs into our food supply. Every single person across the U.S. was an unknowing participant in an experiment, an experiment which is still taking place to this day, since there are no label requirements for GMOs in the U.S.
How could this happen without our knowledge?
In 1994, the company Monsanto, introduced Bt Corn, Soy and other genetically modified foods and were given a green light by the FDA, whose own researchers at the time warned them that GMOs were unsafe – but they released these known “unsafe” foods onto the U.S. food supply anyway.
Despite documented proof of the results of a recent long term study of GMOs by a team of researchers and scientists that tested these “novel” foods over the course of two years, they found that these types of mutated foods were damaging to the health of their test subjects which were laboratory rats.
You may have heard of that particular study by Dr. Seralini on GMOs, which by the way, was the exact same study and used the exact type of rats that Monsanto used in their own study prior to seeking approval of GMOs — the only two differences between the two was that Monsanto’s study was only for 90 days, while the Seralini study was for two years.
What the Seralini surprisingly found was that the rats didn’t show any remarkable findings before the 90 day mark. However, the researchers discovered that after the 90 period, showed the lab rats fed these GMO foods, cancer, tumors, immune disorders, sterility and premature death occurred in 80% of the rats. Ask yourself this: if this happens in rats, what do you think GMOs are doing to us?
Could it be that Monsanto knew of this period of time where the rats didn’t show any signs of abnormalities, and why they didn’t show the FDA of their findings past the 90 day mark? We’ll never know, because Monsanto’s own researchers who found the abnormalities in the rats who were fed GMOs, were oddly all released from their contracts after their findings, and signed a nondisclosure agreement, in essence silencing any potential dissent.
Many proponents of GMOs, and even the journal that the Seralini study was published in, redacted the study, a full year after it was submitted, claiming it was invalid. Interestingly, that journal went against its own protocols and guidelines and pulled the study from their catalog, which had never been done before in its history.
Unfortunately the vote didn’t sway in favor of labeling GMOs, because there was a barrage of financial influence from these chemical companies that don’t want you to know what’s in the food you eat. They spent almost $50 million against your right to know about what’s in your food. By simply putting a label that states foods that are GM, these chemical and food companies fear most people wouldn’t want to buy GMO foods and would in effect, lose money — and they would be correct! Of course, who in their right mind would want to consume a GMO food knowing the potential health risk?
This is where natural foods must come into play
Given the statistics that the food that you are eating, unless verified Non-GMO or 100% organic, it’s most likely a GMO food — foods that are USDA organic, too, do not require that GM foods are tested. In fact, it can still contain a small percentage of GMOs, so be sure the label says 100% organic.
So, if you’re trying to avoid GMOs by eating organic, the reality is, that it’s almost impossible to avoid them. This is, unless you grow your own food. But in a practical sense, almost all Americans have been brought up not learning how to grow their own food, thus, we are constantly being bombarded by non-nutritious, unhealthy, and what research has now confirmed in rats fed GMOs, to be incredibly harmful to other animals that were fed GMO corn and other feed, died within days of eating these mutated foods.
It’s not a coincidence that the increase numbers of cancer, autoimmune diseases (allergies), digestive disorders and other adverse ailments and diseases have increased dramatically, up to 400% in some cases, since the unknowing introduction of GMOs wound up in our food supply.
What you can do to avoid GMOs
Since we’re not given the opportunity by the food industry and our own government to know if GMOs are in our food with a simple label, it’s up to each of us to find creative ways in which to avoid these nasty buggers.
- Find your local Farmer’s Market and do most of your shopping there. Many even have dairy and real organic items that you wouldn’t otherwise find in a commercial food store, and that’s a very good thing to discover. Have you ever been at a grocery store and was able to cut your own herbs, pick your own spinach or ask the farmer that grew the food if they used herbicides or pesticides? Likely most people haven’t had that opportunity — unless they shop at a Farmer’s Market. You are not only getting the most nutritious food for your dollar, because that food hasn’t traveled thousands of miles to get to market, but you’re supporting your community by supporting farmers. Click here to find your local Farmers Market.
- The Non-GMO verified label. If there are certain items at the farmer’s market which you can’t find, shop for food which carries the Non-GMO verified label. You can find a Non-GMO retailer here. The retailers and non-profits listed, are committed to informed choice when it comes to GMOs and endorse the Non-GMO Project’s approach to ensuring the sustained availability of Non-GMO options.
- Discover exactly where GMOs are located at the grocery store. The True Food Shopper’s Guide arms you with valuable information regarding common GM ingredients, as well as brands to look for, and to look out for. The application includes a “Four Simple Tips” section, which offers easy ways to avoid GM ingredients, a “Supermarkets and GMOs” section to help consumers identify GM and non-GMO private-label store brands, and a rbGH and rbGH-free dairy guide. For your mobile phone, you can download for free, the True Food Shopper’s Guide mobile app for iPhone and Android. The mobile app was created to help you find and avoid GE ingredients wherever you shop.
- Buy food labeled 100% organic. The U.S. and Canadian governments do not allow manufacturers to label something 100% organic if that food has been genetically modified or been fed genetically modified feed. However, you may find that organic food is more expensive and different in appearance from conventional products. Again, just because something says “organic” on it does not mean that it does not contain GMs. In fact, it can still contain GMOs if it’s certified USDA Organic, so be sure the labels say 100% organic.
- Trusted Organic Certification institutions include QAI, Oregon Tilth, and CCOF. Look for their mark of approval on the label of the product. USDA Organic standards pale in comparison, so keep this in mind when you see a product that doesn’t state that it’s 100% organic if it is only USDA Organic Certified. This applies to eggs, as well. Eggs labeled “free-range”, “natural”, or “cage-free” are not necessarily GE-free, so look for eggs that are 100% organic.
- Buy whole foods. Favor foods that you can cook and prepare yourself, rather than foods that are processed or prepared (e.g. anything that comes in a box or a bag, including fast food). What you lose in convenience, you may recover in money saved and satisfaction gained, as well as increased peace of mind. Try cooking a meal from scratch once or twice a week if you don’t already–you may enjoy it and decide to do it more often.
We hope this article helps to cover some of the necessary steps to create a healthy and better way of eating foods you and your family buys and eats.

The U.S. Supreme Court started a new term Oct. 1 and immediately jumped into oral argument in an age-discrimination case. The high court will also hear arguments in an arbitration case later this week. Here are the key issues on the docket this term that may shape workplace policies and practices.
The ADEA’s Reach
The justices heard arguments Oct. 1 in a case that asks if the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) applies to public employers only if they have 20 or more employees—which is the threshold that is applied to private employers—or if the act protects all public-sector state and local workers regardless of employer size. | <urn:uuid:2dcd3148-e689-4f53-926a-31c87f9b7596> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://hrcurated.com/news/supreme-court-preview-workplace-issues-are-on-the-docket/ | 2018-11-18T18:31:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744561.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118180446-20181118202446-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.932337 | 141 | [

I just purchased about 20 acres of land that backs up to lumber company land in Beaufort County NC. There is 8 acres of woodland and a 10 acre corn field. I will be getting ready to put up tree stands next week. I have 2 boys 13 and 12 who will be helping and hunting with me. My plans are to place three stands backing up to the woods facing the corn field and use them for bow season. I also need to put up a box blind if I decide to rifle hunt. Any of you guys hunt small tracts like this? How is the deer population in Beaufort County? Any help is appreciated. | <urn:uuid:85e38a77-a1db-4313-b6ac-5321039dd409> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.carolinasportsman.com/lpca/index.php?section=reports&event=view&action=full_report&id=183523 | 2018-11-19T23:43:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746171.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119233342-20181120015342-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.966282 | 137 | [

The whole world seems to be going 20s mad; with Baz Luhrmann’s sparkling film, The Great Gatsby, setting it all off with a bang. The other week the girls from MFP and some lovely friends wandered on down to the Embassy for cocktails, chat and an evening with Jay Gatsby.
The film was all kinds of glitz and glam, opulent and indulgent, and so damn pretty! It was an easy film to watch; straightforward and simple in story, sublime in visual beauty. What it was lacking in depth it made up for in the most glorious costumes, digitally perfected fantastical sets and the most epic of onscreen parties; think flowing champagne, glitzy flappers, dapper gents, all hedonistically dancing around to some serious hip-hop of today.
It’s easy to see how the world has suddenly become so obsessive with the Roaring Twenties. If you’ve been invited along to a Gatsby inspired event, want to throw one yourself, or simply want to embody a bit of Twenties glamour before heading to see the film, you’ve definitely stumbled across the right blog post.
Need some style inspiration? Take note of Daisy Buchanan’s look.
The image says it all; big glittering jewels and soft, neutral tones with a deco headdress to boot. Daisy consistently looks pretty, innocent and perfect; drop waists, glitter, pastel pinks, creams and lavenders. Make up is minimal and glowing. Think garden parties and lounging around in summer with your best friend, your favourite cake and a bottle of champagne. If an edgy look is more your thing, be sure to look to Daisy’s best friend Jordan Baker for some inspiration; harsh blacks, silky creams and yellows, masculine tailoring, slick bob, smoky eyes and red lips.
Once you’ve sorted your outfit, you’ll be sure to be looking for some deco inspired jewels that will make you every bit the flapper. So, have a proper look through Madame Fancy Pant’s ‘In Moonlight’ Collection.
From crystals to skulls, delicate to bold, this collection really does have something for everyone. Plus, each piece fits perfectly within a Roaring Twenties world. That ‘This Little Light’ necklace definitely looks like it was nabbed straight out of Daisy’s jewellery box…
So, your look is (hopefully) sorted! If you want to grab a cocktail before you watch the film, we definitely recommend The Black Sparrow below The Embassy. It fully encapsulates 20s elegance. It even has a Gatsby inspired cocktail menu! If you head there on a Tuesday, like we did, you can save some cash and get two for one cocktails. So, drink up!
If your Gatsby event is all set up at home, you should try making your own cocktails. I sourced this ‘Golden Girl’ cocktail from the beautiful girls at A Beautiful Mess blog; with all that glitter it looks like something Jay Gatsby’s party guests would have a few of. The scrumptious recipe can be found HERE.
Once you've got your get up, your jewels and your drinks all prepped and ready to go, I think it’s time to get your party started!
Hope you enjoyed another stellar edition of our Wednesday blog, stay tuned for Friday’s gig inspired blog post! | <urn:uuid:6543d162-26f4-4529-8c45-3299d18d5949> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.madamefancypants.com/blogs/news/8323531-if-its-gatsby-its-great | 2018-11-20T00:32:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746171.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119233342-20181120015342-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.923255 | 732 | [

Last month I wrote a blog post looking at the drivers for WAN based software defined networks (SDNs). In this blog I’ll take a look at the factors driving data center SDNs. In the same ZK Research / Tech Target survey I referenced in the previous blog, we also asked the question “What capabilities are most important to you in an SDN solution for your data center?”
To my surprise, the top answer (69%) was “Manage the virtual network inside the virtual server stack”. While I’ll agree that managing a network of virtual machines inside a server is a challenge, the problem has largely been solved with a vSwitch. In case you’re not familiar with the role of a vSwitch, I’ll quickly explain it. When traffic is sent from a physical server to another physical sever it travels from server A, down the wire, into a physical switch port, to another switch port, back up another wire and then to server B. Well what if the two servers are now virtualized and on the same physical server? Ethernet doesn’t allow traffic to go down a wire and then back up the same wire – that’s called hair pinning traffic. The solution? The two or more virtual servers would connect to a vSwitch and that would handle the traffic movement.
The vSwitch has now been available for years and is not something I really consider “SDN”, other than it’s a piece of software that has networking capabilities. This is one of the reasons why I still contend users are highly confused as to what an SDN is and isn’t, and what problems to best solve with it. My thoughts are here that many of the people responding to the survey have heard of VMware’s NSX problems — which does far more than connect VMs within a stack — but somehow made the association to their vSwitch.
A close second on the list of preferences in the survey, at 64%, is “ability to implement data center infrastructure on demand”. And the third most popular response was aligned with the second — “orchestrate network provisioning along with servers and storage”. So the combination of these two answers indicates that data center managers are looking to orchestrate and automate the provisioning of data infrastructure. These responses actually attack the two big problems for most organizations when it comes to running a data center: speed of provisioning services and people costs. With a legacy data center, services can often take weeks, or even months, to get turned up because of all the back and forth between the various IT silos. This is one reason why people costs account for 40% of data center TCO today. Automate the provision of the data center stack and you kill two birds with one stone. Interestingly, this is the main value proposition of Cisco’s ACI.
No other response on the survey was above 50%, although improving security posture and policy control was at 49%. Security is a hot issue today across IT — whether it’s SDN, cloud computing, mobility or any other technology — so its strength here isn’t a real surprise.
My take-away from this survey is that it reflects a lot of what I’m hearing in the field and that the battle between VMware and Cisco will soon turn into an all out war with more and more IT individuals aligning themselves with one of these two vendors. We’re certainly at the very early stages of the evolution toward SDN, but the battle lines are starting to be drawn. | <urn:uuid:94e2cc53-1842-4eab-9a52-a09428a452f1> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://blog.silver-peak.com/the-cisco-vmware-war-is-just-beginning | 2018-11-21T10:28:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113937-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.946295 | 742 | [

Many beginner meditators, myself included, start out with a mindful breathing meditation: one breath in, one breath out, the mind wanders, you bring it back.
Armed with an app guiding me through this meditation, I practiced dutifully for several months—but eventually I fell off the wagon. It just stopped feeling right for me.
I didn’t know there were other types of meditation to try. That’s why a new study published in the journal Mindfulness is so encouraging: It compares four different types of meditation, and finds that they each have their own unique benefits. Mindful breathing isn’t the only place to start—and it’s not the end of meditation, either.
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute recruited more than 200 adults in Germany who hadn’t meditated before to participate in a nine-month mindfulness training. It taught four types of meditation:
- Breathing meditation: A practice where you focus your attention on the sensations of breathing.
- Body scan: A practice where you focus on each individual body part in turn, from head to toe.
- Loving-Kindness meditation: A practice deigned to foster positive feelings of love and care, initially toward a close loved one and then extended to yourself, others, and eventually the whole world.
- Observing-thought meditation: A practice that teaches you to notice as thoughts arise, label them—for instance, as positive or negative, focused on yourself or others—but avoid getting absorbed in them.
The program was split into three three-month modules, with breathing meditation and body scan taught together. Each module included a three-day retreat and two-hour weekly group sessions, plus five days a week of practice at home. Before and after every meditation session, participants filled out online questionnaires about their thoughts and feelings in the half hour before the meditation and during it—providing a snapshot of how the practice impacted their minds.
During every type of meditation, participants reported feeling more positive emotions, more energetic, more focused on the present, and less distracted by thoughts than they did before beginning—perhaps thanks to the attention training that’s common to all meditation. But that’s where the similarities ended.
During body scan, participants saw the biggest increases in how aware they were of their bodies (unsurprisingly) and the sharpest decline in the number of thoughts they were having, particularly negative thoughts and thoughts related to the past and future. Lovingkindness meditation led to the greatest boost in their feelings of warmth and positive thoughts about others. Meanwhile, the observing-thought meditation seemed to increase participants’ awareness of their thoughts the most.
Participants had been split into three groups, one of which learned only lovingkindness meditation (my personal favorite) for three months. But doing this practice without a foundation of more basic meditation didn’t seem to be problematic. In fact, though they had slightly more negative thoughts during lovingkindness meditation than the other groups (who had already learned mindful breathing and body scan), they saw an even bigger rise in their warm and positive feelings.
As the researchers point out, these findings offer insights to would-be meditators and mental health practitioners. If you’re tackling a specific issue—say, feeling disconnected from your body, in conflict with others, or plagued by rumination—then you can choose to try body scan, lovingkindness, or observing-thought meditation (respectively). Previous research also suggests that the observing-thought meditation has an advantage in reducing our judgmental attitude toward others.
“The type of meditation matters,” explain postdoctoral researcher Bethany Kok and professor Tania Singer. “Each practice appears to create a distinct mental environment, the long-term consequences of which are only beginning to be explored.” In fact, this study is part of a larger investigation called the ReSource Project, which is also examining how these different meditations affect brain structure, stress, and social behavior.
But if you’re looking for broad benefits, any of these types of meditation could help you cultivate positivity, energy, and focus. In that case, whichever meditation you’re likely to stick with is probably the best choice. | <urn:uuid:75983e1b-f0a0-4489-a48f-dc603249eb1a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/how_to_choose_a_type_of_mindfulness_meditation | 2018-11-21T10:05:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113937-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.946849 | 877 | [

Trees & Shrubs
UNL Extension – helping you turn knowledge into "know how"
Winter Tough on Landscape Plants
by Don Janssen, UNL Extension Educator
Winter can be rough on landscape plants, especially species that aren't native to Nebraska. Some types of damage can be prevented, however, and fall's the time to do it.
Among the most common types of damage are freezing, frost crack, desiccation and physical breakage. Homeowners can prevent or minimize some types of damage by shading plants, shielding them against heavy snow loads and flying salt spray, and wrapping.
Freezing injury to woody plants most commonly affects species or varieties that are not completely hardy in northern climates. It may kill only the flowers and shoots, the roots or the whole plant. The best way to prevent freezing injury is to plant only species and cultivars known to be hardy here.
Injury by late spring frost can sometimes be prevented by shading plants. Keeping the warming rays of the sun off the plants can delay bud break by five to 10 days. This may be long enough to avoid damage to tender flowers and shoots. It is practical only with selected small plants, however.
Frost crack, or "southwest disease," usually affects young, thin-barked trees, particularly young, newly transplanted silver maple trees. The bark splits when a bright, sunny winter day is followed by a rapid drop in temperature. The outer bark cools and contracts faster than the inner tissues and splits open, usually on the southwest side.
Planting species that are not prone to the problem and wrapping or shading the trunks or newly transplanted trees can reduce the incidence of frost crack.
Desiccation is most common in broadleaved evergreens, though it can occur in narrow-leaved evergreens and even on the shoot tips of deciduous species. It occurs on bright, sunny winter days. The sun warms the foliage, which then loses moisture to the surrounding dry air. Because the ground is frozen, the roots cannot take up moisture to replace it and the foliage or shoot dries out.
Plant sensitive plants where a building, a fence or other plants will shade them in the winter or construct sun shields on the south and west sides of plants to prevent this injury. Making sure plants go into winter well watered also helps.
Damage caused by drifting salt spray from highway deicing efforts look much like desiccation. Some species -- including white pine, red pine and arborvitae, red oak and crabapples -- are very sensitive to salt injury. Burlap or canvas screens can protect them against salt spray. Planting salt tolerant species such as blue spruce, Austrian pine and honeylocust is another option.
Physical damage to plants can occur in the form of branches broken by a heavy load of snow or ice, frost heaving of young plants, and mechanical injury from snow removal equipment.
Wrapping the plants with twine or chicken wire may be all the support that is needed. Others may require more elaborate wood or metal snow shields. Avoid plants known for their tendency to break in storms and prune trees when young to eliminate weak, V-shaped crotches. This will reduce the likelihood of breakage.
To prevent heaving of newly transplanted young plants on clay or clay-loam soils, mulch fall planted trees and shrubs after the soil has frozen to prevent its alternately freezing and thawing. This can push the plants' roots out of the ground.
To reduce damage by snow removal equipment, plant trees and shrubs some distance from snow plowing routes. Clearly mark the location of small plants that might be hidden by a blanket of snow.
The best time to prevent winter damage to landscape plants is before you plant. At that point you can still choose a hardy plant and a suitable planting site that minimizes the need for winter protection. For plants already in place, prevention is the best approach -- there is no cure for dead or severely damaged plants.

Dining Spotlight: Cold Comfort
New cafe Tea Haus keeps things simple with a small variety of unique food and drink options
Photo by Cory Rivademar
Though its name evokes images of raising a pinkie and sipping hot liquid from a porcelain cup, new Allandale cafe Tea Haus provides plenty of chilly refreshments to cool you down on a summer day. One place to start is the boba milk tea, which boasts a creamy honey flavor and has chewy tapioca pearls that can be slurped through the oversize straw. For a true taste of summer, order an ultra-refreshing glass of handcrafted lemonade, which comes in varieties like cucumber mint, honey ginger and mint blueberry. Mint mojito iced coffee, sea salt creme coffee and green juice are also offered. As for food, there’s the standard muffin and pastry offerings, but the shop also has a dining menu featuring three items: basil fried chicken, brick toast and affogato. The chicken, served in nugget form and coated in a secret blend of spices, manages to be succulent without being greasy. And while the brick toast topped with strawberries and powdered sugar is a little bit dry and could use more milk, the affogato completely satisfies. The dessert features vanilla ice cream drowned in espresso and smothered with chocolate and caramel sauces. With its slick Italian name and caffeine jolt, the frozen treat is cool in every sense of the word.

A History of North Kootenay Lake Community Services Society
In the fall of 1975, a pilot project was initiated to meet some of the long standing needs for home support in the Kaslo area and to determine the feasibility of establishing this service on a permanent basis. From this pilot project The Kaslo and District Homemaker Society was formed on May 28th 1976. Members from the steering committee of the pilot project formed the first Board of Directors. We are grateful to Castle Thompson, Thornton Conrow, Isabel Butler, Dorothy Warman, Garfield Belanger, Margaret Baggenstos and Joan Thomas for their work in creating this society.
At this time homemaker services focussed mainly on the elderly and the infirm with some services to families and children with special needs.
In November 1990 the agency received Charitable Tax Status allowing for increased opportunities for fund raising. Special Resolutions were passed at an Annual Meeting in May 1991 to change the name and mission statement of the agency. The new name, North Kootenay Lake Community Services Society was chosen to reflect the expanded role of the agency and its commitment to provide services to the entire catchment area surrounding Kaslo. In 2008 the mission statement was updated to read as follows: “to develop and provide services and programs which contribute to a thriving community and enhance the quality of life for North Kootenay Lake residents.”
Since 1976, North Kootenay Lake Community Services Society has been dedicated to providing essential services to people from Ainsworth to Meadow Creek, Howser, Argenta and Johnson’s Landing.
Initially the Agency’s office was located in the Provincial Government Building. In 1978 a two-office space was rented at the Langham Centre. In May 1983, the agency moved into a small house at 414 - 5th Street. The services expanded rapidly and outgrew the physical space. In April, 1994 the agency fulfilled its long-term dream to find a permanent home for its offices. With the help of a grant from the BC provincial lotteries fund and a mortgage from KREDA (Kootenay Regional Economic Development Association) as well as individual and corporate donations, Community Services was able to purchase a suitable building at 336 &lsquot;B&rsquot; Avenue to house all of its services. After a decade of operating in cramped quarters, the board felt confident that the bright welcoming new location would help them carry out its mission and increase efficiency, effectiveness and accessibility. Staff and clients indicated their delight with the new premises.
HOME SUPPORT SERVICES
This program was the first service that the Society was founded upon in 1976 and has experienced a significant decrease in hours over the years. In 1984, twenty-four Home Support Workers provided 10,720 hours of Home Support service to 98 clients. In 2000-2001, fifteen Home Support Workers helped 46 individuals to stay healthy, active, and independent in their own homes and communities. A total of 7,899 hours of quality care was provided. During the next few years the hours continued to be cut, with the Interior Health Authority finally terminating the contract totally in October, 2003. IHA now provides the remaining limited hours directly.
Our Board and staff did everything in our power to protect these essential services. We spearheaded a lobby of our government representatives and worked hard to make the case for inclusion of housekeeping services in the Home Support Program.
We would like to honour the contributions of Corol Wight, Laurie Harris and Emily Youngreen who provided excellent leadership and supervision for our team of Home Support Workers.
HUMMINGBIRD HOME HELP
With the loss of Home Support, NKLCSS looked for new ways to provide service to the clients left with out help and to provide funding for the wide range of services we offer. In the spring of 2004 NKLCSS launched Hummingbird Home Help, a ‘social enterprise’ business under the able leadership of Emily Youngreen. This service drew on our expertise from Home Support to offer housecleaning and personal care to anyone in the Kaslo and North Kootenay Lake communities. It is a fee for service business with all the profits being turned back into our other programs. In the summer of 2005, Hummingbird was expanded to include the Balfour, Harrop and Proctor area.
The service was well received and was used by young families, working people, seniors, bed and breakfast operations, community halls and others. Unfortunately, in 2007, due to the pressure between what clients were willing to pay and what staff needed to be paid, we were unable to fill staffing vacancies. We ended the Hummingbird service with sadness, knowing that a needed service was left unanswered. We have been glad to see that independent operators have filled the void.
COMMUNITY COUNSELLING SERVICES
The Community Counselling Program was initiated in 1988 with a small contract through Mental Health. We would like to acknowledge the important contribution of Suzanne White in providing this new service to our local area. The program expanded and diversified in 1993 to include additional service components and a new staff team. The newly expanded services included Family Support Program, Stopping the Violence Counselling for Women, Victim's Assistance, Safe Homes Program, Children Who Witness Violence Counselling, and the Sexual Abuse Intervention Program. Each aspect had its own funder and contract requirements (see related descriptions below).
The Counselling team provides confidential emotional support and facilitates personal growth and healing for individual adults, children, and youth, and for families. This includes crisis response and short and long term counselling services. The team includes professionals with expertise in play therapy, addictions, family violence, sexual abuse and women's and men's issues.
In 2000-01, the Community Counselling Program provided therapeutic support to 143 adults and 89 children and youth for a total of 232 individuals and families in the Kaslo Area. By 2011-12 we were providing care to to 346 individuals. In addition, we provide an outreach service to our neighbours on the East Shore. In 2003-04 we provided counselling support to 18 children and youth, and to 13 adults in the Crawford Bay area. Our counselling team also provides outreach service to the schools in Kaslo and Meadow Creek.
We currently have 5 counsellors on staff.
CHILD/YOUTH & FAMILY COMMUNITY COUNSELLING
This service is a portion of the original counselling service through Mental Health. However, it has moved over to the Ministry for Children and Family Development with the creation of the new ministry. This program also serves the East Shore of Kootenay Lake.
Expressive art and play therapies are used with children, youth and families. The use of creative image and symbols of the person are honoured, placing less emphasis on the need for verbal communication. Children naturally use art and play to resolve issues and to understand their world.
Addictions Services have been restructured as part of government reorganization. The Addictions contract was originally provided through a partnership between Mental Health and the Ministry of Health. Then the services were transferred to the Ministry for Children & Family Development. Currently funding comes through Interior Health. Addictions services consist of intervention, support counselling, referrals to detox and residential treatment centres as well as education and prevention activities in school and community settings.
ADULT MENTAL HEALTH COMMUNITY COUNSELLING
Counselling for adults was also part of the original counselling service through Mental Health where it is administered by Interior Health. The service provides therapeutic support for adults in both Kaslo and the East Shore. Currently, the service is available to any adult dealing with trauma, crisis or times of change in their lives.
STOPPING THE VIOLENCE WOMEN'S COUNSELLING
This service was first funded in 1992. The service provides short and long term individual counselling and related supports to women who have experienced violence or abuse. It provides a safe and supportive place for women to share their stories, appreciate their strengths and recognize growth and change. The program addresses a wide range of violence and abuse issues including sexual assault, assault within a relationship and survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Abuse exists on a continuum from emotional to physical and sexual abuse. This service is available to any woman who has experienced violence or abuse in her life, whether current or past and whether from family members, partners, acquaintances or strangers.
FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAM
After 10 years of struggling to provide services to families in crisis with short-term contracts and insufficient funding, the agency received funding support from the Ministry of Social Services to create a permanent Family Support Worker position in 1993.
Through the Family Support Program, outreach counselling, in-home support and crisis intervention for children, youth and families are provided. As well, the program helps people develop necessary life-skills including parenting, assertiveness, conflict resolution and self-esteem building. This service is now funded through the Ministry for Children and Family Development.
VICTIM’S ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Attorney General has funded a Specialized Victim’s Assistance Program through Community Services since 1993. The program provides justice related services, crisis intervention, advocacy and emotional support for victims of family violence, and sexual assault. Looking at the peaceful little town of Kaslo and its surrounding rural setting, one might well imagine that the community is free of violence. Statistics, however, clearly demonstrate the extent of family violence across all parts of society. Kaslo and area is no exception and the Victim’s Assistance Program is being well utilized. This service is now funded through the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
SAFE HOMES PROGRAM
In November, 1989 the Kaslo RCMP identified the need for services to victims of family violence in Kaslo and the surrounding area. There was an urgent need for Safe Homes and transportation to the Transition House in Trail. The agency volunteered to work with members of the Kaslo Interagency group to organize and recruit Safe Homes and volunteer drivers to address this need. There were no funds available to support the program. In January, 1991, the agency signed a contract with the Ministry of Social Services that would provide per diem funding for Safe Home volunteers and travel allowance for drivers.
Additional funding was provided by the Ministry of Social Services in 1993-94 and the agency was able to hire a Safe Homes Co-ordinator. This funding is now provided by the Ministry of Community Services. Through the Safe Homes Program, volunteers offer overnight shelter and transportation to the Nelson Transition House for women and children victims of family violence, in collaboration with the R.C.M.P. and the agency's Victim's Assistance Co-ordinator. After hours crisis response by telephone is provided by staff who are accessed by the Crisis Line in Trail or the RCMP in Kaslo.
CHILDREN WHO WITNESS ABUSE PROGRAM
Community Services did not have a specialized program for children who witness abuse until November 1, 1993. We began offering a program for women victims of violence in April of 1993, funded through the Ministry of Women’s Equality and contracted with Mental Health. Statistics accumulated through the Counselling Program indicated a high need for a children’s component. In November 1993, the agency established a contract with Ministry of Social Services to provide a Children Who Witness Abuse Program. The Ministry of Community Services now provides the financial support for this program. The program was originally called Children Who Witness Violence but the program name was changed to Children Who Witness Abuse to better reflect the fact that abuse does not need to be violent to be damaging.
The Children’s Program includes a school-based prevention component which was initiated in the fall of 1994.
WEST KOOTENAY WILDERNESS PROGRAM
West Kootenay Wilderness was primarily a prevention based program that provided a unique opportunity for 10 teens at risk aged 13 - 17 years. Participants experienced personal growth and physical challenge during 3 to 7 day wilderness excursions from May to September. The program used an adventure based counselling concept to promote change through challenging activities. This was a regional program which served the entire West Kootenay region from 1988 to 2001.
In 1993, the agency was shocked to learn that the Ministry of Social Services cut the funding for the West Kootenay Wilderness Program. The board immediately began lobbying the Ministry, concerned community members and other potential funders for support. The Child/Youth Committees proclaimed enthusiastic support for the program and as a result funding from Social Services was re-instated at a reduced level. Funding support from Alcohol & Drug Programs was also provided which allowed the program to continue.
In 1999 the program was put on hold due to an incident on the coast where some participants in another wilderness program got lost and experienced frost bite. The Attorney General suspended all wilderness programs until a thorough investigation took place. Policies and standards were developed and our agency was commended for its outstanding accomplishments in meeting these standards. The West Kootenay Wilderness Program continued to be an exemplary program in terms of program content and safety issues.
Unfortunately, funding for this program was ended in 2002 and despite numerous attempts to find new funding, we were unable to continue the program. We still believe that this type of program is valuable and should be brought back. Teens are in a high risk category for crime and drug and alcohol use in general. Rural teens are doubly disadvantaged because of their physical isolation to services that larger centres provide. Past participants words verify the need for this kind of experience: "I will probably never ever have this kind of experience in my whole life again."There are no other programs out there that have the same kind of impact, yours is the best thing going!"
Judy Evans was our Wilderness Program Coordinator for eleven years. We are grateful for her leadership and dedication.
SPECIAL SERVICES TO CHILDREN AND SELF-HELP FOR ADULTS WITH MENTAL HANDICAPS
The agency began providing services to mentally challenged adults in 1989. The programs are currently funded by the Ministry for Children and Family Development to assist mentally handicapped children, youth and adults with independent living and relationship skills. Through these programs, the agency supports the families in providing for the special needs of their members. The services enrich the lives of everyone in the community by helping to integrate, accept and empower people with special needs. For the first time in 1993-94, these programs did not generate a deficit. The Ministry has improved the funding for these programs to more adequately respond to the needs. Currently we have only 1 adult Self Help client and no children. Sandra Rempel is our current Self Help Worker.
In 1991, the agency purchased 18 Personal Emergency Response Units. These were jointly funded by the Senior's Lottery, Go BC and the Society. These have proven to be so popular with seniors and others who live alone and have a chronic health problem or a physical disability that we purchased an additional 15 units in 2000 with the generous support of the Seniors Foundation of British Columbia. The units are available for a monthly rental fee. When activated by a pendant worn around the person's neck, the unit automatically dials the national Lifeline Emergency Response Centre. The person is contacted at home or specially chosen friends or relatives are called to respond. Friends and family members feel reassured by the presence of the Lifeline and seniors and people with disabilities in the community are able to maintain their independence.
NOBODY’S PERFECT PARENTING PROGRAM
The Selkirk Health Unit in Kaslo initiated the Nobody’s Perfect Program in 1991. A Steering Committee was formed in June 1991. The Chair of North Kootenay Lake Community Services Society joined the Steering Committee and the first program was delivered in the Spring of 1992. At that time, the Health Unit was directed to formally involve a non-profit society in the management of the program. Community Services agreed to this arrangement.
The overall goal of the Nobody’s Perfect program is to improve parents’ capabilities to maintain and promote the health of their pre-school aged children. The program increases participants’ knowledge and understanding of their children’s health, safety and behaviour. It encourages positive change in the relationship between parents and their children and the participants develop confidence, self-esteem and coping skills. The program also facilitates ongoing self-help and mutual support among parents. We have offered this program in Meadow Creek, Argenta and Kaslo.
PARENT SUPPORT PROGRAM
In April, 1995, our agency received funding to provide services to families with children ages 0-6 years. This funding was provided by the federal government CAP-C program (Community Action Program for Children). The first two years were challenging and there were two staff changes. Some of the challenges had to do with an unclear mandate for this program. In December, 1996, when the second staff member resigned, we decided to not renew our contract to provide this service. However, in May, 1997 we decided to re-initiate the program with a new focus. The new community development focus has been very successful and as a result, Parent Support Circles, Parent-Child Drop-Ins and other community based networks have developed.
After several years of transporting toys back and forth to private homes and local church halls, we were very excited in 2003 to receive funding from the Ministry for Children and Family Development to open a Family Centre as a permanent home for our Parent Support Programs.
The Family Centre opened in the spring of 2003 at 412 ‘B’ Avenue. This building sold later that year and in November 2003 we moved from ‘B’ Avenue to our current location at 400 Front St. This has been an ideal location, allowing increased visibility and a larger play area that has supported the increasing numbers of parents and children participating in programs.
The Family Centre has become home to a variety of short and long term programs. In addition to the twice-weekly Parent and Child Time and the Parent Support Circle, we have seen numerous other programs run at the Family Centre. The Parent and Child Time, a two hour drop-in program, has seen as many as 50 participants per session and has had over 160 different participants through the year. The Parent Support Circle has offered a place for parents to come together for mutual support and to share ideas around parenting under the support of a counselor facilitator.
We have been very fortunate to have Barb Cyr and Sarah Evans managing programming at the Family Centre for several years. Over the years several six to eight week programs have been offered including the Nobody’s Perfect Parenting Program (ongoing), S.T.E.P. (Systematic Train for Effective Parenting) Program, Parent-Child Mother Goose (ongoing), and a Prenatal Yoga class. Other single session events have included a Childsafe First Aid course and presentations such as Toy-Making for the Young Child, Guiding Your Child’s Behavior, and Play to Learn.
SUMMER EMPLOYMENT PROGRAMS
North Kootenay Lake Community Services Society has been able to offer summer employment programs to youth when funding has been available. Unfortunately the last few years have seen cuts to funding for this type of program and we have not found programs that fit with the needs of the this community. Programs offered in earlier years are outlined below.
KASLO YOUTH THEATRE PROJECT
In the summer of 1999, Community Services agreed to sponsor a Youth Services Canada project to employ 14 youth for a 6-month summer employment project. This was a large undertaking as a great deal of unfunded staff time went into organising, planning and supporting the project.
The project included mentorship/gardening program with youth and seniors in the community, performing arts and culture events, tourism, lifeskills, training, career planning and hands on work experience in construction of two flotations to enhance the existing floating stage for the Kaslo Jazz Festival. There were many challenges managing a project of this scope and although the benefits to the community were great, the project placed a great deal of stress on our existing staff. Without adequate paid administration and supervision, the agency would not consider such sponsorship again.
The agency provided a successful summer recreation program since Jackie Murdock initiated Kaslo Kids Kool Kamp in 1994 and until funding was cut in 2003. In 2000, this fun program for children ages 5 to 12 years was offered at Vimy Park in Kaslo through July and August. An average of 12 children attended each day. The program served a total of 44 children with additional children dropping in for a day or two during the week.
Parents and tourists appreciated the opportunity to provide stimulating, high quality, supervised activities for their children. The students we hired received valuable work experience and reported a very worthwhile and challenging summer. The children who participated in the program had an enjoyable time with crafts, games, field trips and other fun recreational activities at the beach or in the park.
We would like to appreciate all the students who contributed to the success of this program. Our appreciation also goes to Leigh-Anne Myers for her steady and focussed leadership and supervision of the students throughout the program.
As of May 2013, NKLCSS employs 29 people in various part-time and full time positions.
Since 1976, the agency has been governed by a group of dedicated volunteers who make up the Board of Directors. The Board consists of up to 7 members elected from the community. They are responsible for developing policies and setting program priorities of the Society. As well, they ensure that the Society's By-laws are maintained, reviewed and revised when necessary. The Board safeguards the Society's assets and ensures the agency is responsive to the needs of the community. We are grateful to all the Board members who have contributed so generously of their time and energy. Each one of you contributes to the strength and viability of our agency in unique and important ways. Our thanks our current dedicated board members: Victoria McAllister, Carole Summers, Care Cathro, Joanna Temple, Laura Smith, Pamela Griffin, and Sahara Bauer.

The Harbour, Blackpool
A major new Mental Health Hospital facility on the outskirts of Blackpool.
The project provides 152 bed units with support facilities catering for various complex needs.
The largely single storey accommodation uses a combination of structural steel framing and loadbearing masonry construction. The original sloping greenfield site underwent a major earth works cut and fill exercise to provide a level site to accommodate the building and external roads and car parking.
Works involved major drainage and infrastructure to provide a highly sustainable drainage solution minimising the impact of the scheme on the local environment. | <urn:uuid:cf5707d7-eece-4ed2-8bb9-4b27f4318894> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.ajpstructeng.com/our-work/healthcare-sector/the-harbour-blackpool/ | 2018-11-13T23:05:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.876568 | 115 | [

Gippsland Natural is a farm to fork group of passionate farmers keen to follow our produce through to the end consumer - be they leading chefs, discerning home cooks, or parents looking to provide healthy, tasty, grass-fed beef for their kids.
- Our beef is raised in the Gippsland region of Victoria and most of us grow Angus or Angus cross cattle. Cattle are grown out to 18-24 months of age and are carefully looked after to minimise stress. No hormonal growth promotants (HGPs) are used, and cattle are grazed in a free range environment without being penned up in a feedlot at any stage.
- When we process the cattle, we use the MSA grading system to underpin the quality of the meat. Having a good story is one thing, but the MSA system gives us certainty that the food we produce will meet a strict eating quality benchmark every time.
- We aim to add value to our beef as best we can utilising the MSA cut and cooking methods. We now have our own small team of skilled butchers who carefully cut, slice, dice and pack our produce to suit customer requirements.
- Deliveries are made in our own meat van throughout metropolitan Melbourne and South Gippsland, or can be organised through licensed refrigerated couriers across Victoria or interstate.
When you place an order with Gippsland Natural you can expect the highest quality of meat possible. Orders must be placed by midnight on Sunday for delivery the following week. We deliver on Thursdays and Fridays (unless alternative arrangements have been made).
There is a $25 delivery fee for orders under $95 dollars. | <urn:uuid:30ebeb28-4782-458a-bfc2-04b5684ec29a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.gippslandnatural.com.au/pages/our-difference | 2018-11-13T22:51:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.937645 | 342 | [

Organic food has become one of the fastest growing sectors of our food industry as more and more people are trying to take better care of themselves. Many questions however remain.
Does the food simply being organic mean that it is healthy for you?
Is organic food really necessary?
What qualifies a food product as being organic?
What is the difference between "All Natural", and "Organic"?
First off, lets look at what is an organic food product and what that means. According to the department of Agriculture, organic means the following: ‘Organic food is the product of a farming system which avoids the use of man-made fertilizers, pesticides; growth regulators and livestock feed additives. Irradiation and the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or products produced from or by GMOs are generally prohibited by organic legislation.
That being said, how does that differ from "All Natural"? This can be the source of major confusion for people. "All Natural" is a very loosely regulated term that frankly means whatever the food manufacturer and it's marketing division want it to mean. To put it simply, don't trust the "All Natural" label when you see it. It has a lot of wiggle room for interpretation, and by no means does it mean the food is healthy for you.
Should you assume that when a food is organic that it means it is healthy for you then? The answer is a firm no. You can make a food product, that is loaded with sugar and other unhealthy ingredients, that still meets the definition of organic. You still need to check labels. "Healthy" sugar is still sugar, and has a negative impact on your health. When it comes to meat and vegetables, the short answer is generally yes, it tends to be healthier for you than it's non-organic counterpart. The nutrient content tends to be much higher, and the pesticide content very minimal. Just be aware, especially this time of year when local fruits and vegetables become available, that "local" does not necessarily mean organic.
Finally, after all this information, is organic food really necessary? The answer is definitely yes. There are some products that I believe are more important to eat organic than others, but as a whole, they tend to be significantly healthier for you (cumulatively over time). Yes, they tend to come at a higher price, but your health is that important. One way to help off set some of the cost would be to grow your own fruit and vegetables in a home garden. This can be done quite inexpensively, and can provide you with very nutritious food.
Remember, this is only one piece of the health puzzle. You must also focus on a healthy lifestyle in other aspects of your daily life. With some consistent effort however, you too can be well on your way to...
LIVE well. BE well. | <urn:uuid:9e0108c0-3c6b-4386-b622-5349cd535a0b> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.bellchiropracticwny.com/blog/2018/5/29/does-organic-always-mean-healthier | 2018-11-15T04:08:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742483.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115033911-20181115055911-00237.warc.gz | en | 0.974346 | 586 | [

On a certified question from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the Alaska Supreme Court has held that an insurer is not entitled to reimbursement of defense costs for non-covered claims and that policy provisions allowing for such reimbursement are unenforceable under Alaskan law. Attorneys Liab. Prot. Soc’y, Inc. v. Ingaldson Fitzgerald, P.C., No. 7095 (Alaska Mar. 25, 2016).
The case arose from a demand for coverage under a professional liability policy by a law firm for a suit concerning its disbursement and withdrawal of fees against a client’s retainer. The insurer accepted the defense of the claim subject to a reservation of rights, including the right to deny coverage on the grounds that the suit included allegations of activities that did not constitute covered professional activities, as well as allegations that implicated the policy’s exclusion for claims arising from conversion or disputes over fees. The insurer’s letter to the insured also reserved rights under the provision in the policy providing that the insured would reimburse the insurer for fees and costs incurred defending non-covered claims. The insured retained independent defense counsel, whose fees were paid by the insurer.
After the resolution of the underlying lawsuit against the insured, the insurer sought a judicial declaration of no coverage and sought reimbursement of defense costs from the insured. The insured did not contest the declaration of no coverage, but it argued that the insurer was not entitled to reimbursement. The federal district court agreed. The insurer appealed the ruling to the court of appeals, which certified two questions to the state high court, distinguishing between the situation in which an insurer has a duty to defend because of the possibility of covered loss but ultimately faces no liability and the situation in which the duty to defend never arises because there never was a possibility of coverage. In both instances, the court concluded that reimbursement is not available under Alaska law.
The court based its conclusions in large part on the state’s independent counsel statute—Alaska Stat. § 21.96.100—which provides that an insurer required to provide independent counsel because of a conflict of interest “shall be responsible for the fees and costs of defending those allegations for which the insurer either reserves its position as to coverage or accepts coverage.” According to the court, because the statutory scheme mandates payment and does not expressly provide for reimbursement of fees and costs, reimbursement is prohibited and cannot be avoided by a contract provision to the contrary. The court further held that this same conclusion applies to the situation where the duty to defend never actually arises but the insurer nonetheless provides a defense subject to a reservation of rights “out of an abundance of caution” because there should be no incentive for an insurer “to automatically reserve rights in hopes of obtaining reimbursement for attorney’s fees and to protect itself from claims of bad faith or breach that could result from a repudiation of the policy.” | <urn:uuid:9a562e79-c030-4357-a0a8-71fa8b8879f4> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.executivesummaryblog.com/2016/04/alaskan-law-prohibits-reimbursement-of-defense-costs/ | 2018-11-15T04:17:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742483.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115033911-20181115055911-00237.warc.gz | en | 0.961182 | 598 | [

Harrogate’s unsung hospitality heroes were rewarded for their excellence and commitment on Monday night during a gala dinner with a magical theme at Harrogate’s Royal Hall.
Now in their seventh year, the sell-out Harrogate Hospitality and Tourism Awards, organised by Destination Harrogate, was hosted by Gary Verity, Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire.
The Harrogate Hospitality and Tourism Awards aim to promote the town’s hospitality offering through celebrating and rewarding those individuals who show the highest levels of commitment and strive towards excellence on the town’s behalf.
For a month long period during March members of the public and visitors to Harrogate were invited to nominate individuals who they thought deserved special recognition. Over 900 nominations were collected before a shortlist was chosen by judges across nine categories.
David Ritson, Chair of Destination Harrogate and General Manager of the Old Swan Hotel, said: “The awards are a fantastic event for the town and beyond.
“They reward not only the winners, but all those who are shortlisted and work in every area of hospitality, recognising the effort and commitment they make on a daily basis.”
He added: “We received so many entries this year and it was great to see such a large number of the community getting involved.
“We have been able to reward some very worthy winners. The nominations we receive outline the amazing feats that this industry can generate for instance, one of this year’s winners Ian Kilpatrick as a manager on duty actually saved the life of a guest!
“We are extremely lucky to live and work in a town where the community comes together to make it such a great place.”
This year’s winners include the Harrogate International Centre which bought many business tourism visitors to the district and contributes hugely towards the local economy, was rewarded with the Best Achievement of the Year award.
Simon Cotton, General Manager of the Cedar Court hotel and co-organiser of the award, said: “2014 was a great year for the district with the grandest Grand Depart taking place and to commemorate this special year David and I took the opportunity to present a Special Tourism Award to the Spotty House, Knaresborough.
“The house was shortlisted this year and we believed it deserved special recognition, it put Knaresborough on the map both nationally and internationally receiving media coverage as far away as Australia!”
What could be described as the most prestigious award of the night, the Harrogate Ambassador of the Year was won by Jean MacQuarrie, Editor of the Harrogate Advertiser Series.
Judges said in a citation that in her illustrious career Jean has been the public face of the Harrogate Advertiser for more than 25 years. During that time, the media landscape – both locally and nationally – has changed beyond recognition.
Under Jean’s leadership, the Harrogate Advertiser has remained loyal to its readers and played a vital role in promoting the town’s interests in many different ways.
With 9 member hotels, Destination Harrogate welcomes almost 300,000 guests each year and collectively employs over 900 members of staff.
The Association has been in existence for many years with the enduring goal of promoting Harrogate as a destination, working in close partnership with the Harrogate International Centre and the Yorkshire Event Centre to promote conferences and local businesses for leisure breaks.

When, six years ago, I felt so disillusioned with the state of our nation I wrote an article on Witterings from Witney. It would appear nothing has changed; so for the benefit of those who missed the original it seems pertinent to repeat that article.
So here it is.
I find it beyond unstimulating to be back in Britain. There is such a very limited spectrum of opinion here. Surrounded by sheep too docile to bleat out of turn, it feels extreme even to suggest there is some better way of living than time-share enslavement. * | <urn:uuid:cdef1958-0f61-463d-80ea-21d920e0f6d5> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://scribblingsfromseaham.is/tag/politics/ | 2018-11-16T10:38:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743007.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116091028-20181116113028-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.964757 | 120 | [

GHOSTS ON THE COAST: JOURNEYING THROUGH NEW JERSEY’S HAUNTED HISTORY IN ASBURY PARK April 17, 2018
Asbury Park, NJ is known for the Stone Pony and its world famous musicians, but some believe it’s also home to an abundance of paranormal activity. Like many places along the Jersey Shore, Asbury Park has its fair share of ghost stories and sightings. Visitors have reported spirits walking along the boardwalk, appearing in the Paramount Theatre and Convention Hall, and at Asbury Lanes. This history of hauntings is not new. In 1894, famous American author Stephen Crane published an article “Ghosts on the New Jersey Coast,” containing reports of people throughout the shore seeing lovers on a beach, an elderly woman laughing and a Revolutionary Brit looking to kill fishermen. Even Crane’s own house, located on Fourth Avenue, has had reported ghost activity. Visits to the Crane House can be scheduled through Facebook, or stop by during open house hours every Sunday from noon – 2 pm.
If you’ve ever wanted to know more about paranormal history, Paranormal Books and Curiosities on Cookman Avenue is the place to go. Kathy Kelly opened Paranormal in the summer of 2008 as a way to, “bring enthusiasts together, from beginner to expert, to share in the journey of exploring the realms of all things paranormal.” Kelly combines history and paranormal investigations to create a cohesive and exciting story about the past. Paranormal offers a large array of books about New Jersey’s spooky past and is also home to the Paranormal Museum. The museum houses a collection of artifacts from around New Jersey and the world that have experienced paranormal activity or have a ghostly past. Most of the artifacts have been donated to the museum because the owners were uncomfortable living with the artifact or the artifact needed protection for its historical significance. Some notable items include a singing couch from North Carolina, a plague mask, Jersey Devil memorabilia, and a brick from the hanger of Journey through Jersey site Naval Air Station Lakehurst, which was the location of the 1937 Hindenburg crash. During the summer months, tours and investigations are available to learn more about Asbury’s haunted boardwalk, pubs and downtown legends. In order to better plan your journey, check out Paranormal’s scheduled events before you visit.
If you want to continue your journey through haunted sites in Monmouth County, pop over to the nearby Historic Allaire Village in Farmingdale, said to be haunted by by Hal Allaire, son of James P. Allaire, who purchased the property in 1822 and developed the site into Howerll Iron Works and built homes and industrial buildings around it. The ghost reportedly hangs out in the “Big House,” playing pranks on the costumed employees by moving objects or playing with candles. Oscar Smith is another spirit said to reside at the village, specifically around the Manager’s House. Reports say this ghost likes to spell out names using the children’s toy blocks.
If all this paranormal activity builds up your appetite, we recommend stopping at one of the many delicious restaurants in town. If you want to keep with the historic theme, the Asbury Festhalle and Biergarten is located inside a renovated 100-year building that was home to Lerner’s department store in the 1930s.
Planning an overnight stay? The Berkely Carteret is a historic oceanfront hotel designed by Beaux Arts architect Whitney Warren of New York that has been beautifully restored and updated. Although it’s newly restored, there may still be some old spirits lurking around – some guests have reported they think the hotel is haunted!
Are you brave enough to uncover the stories behind the Jersey Shore's paranormal mysteries? The Paranormal Museum “invites each of us to decide what is fantasy and what is truly possible.” | <urn:uuid:b54256bd-c630-4d45-9325-c326bbff055c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.journeythroughjersey.com/connect/ghosts-coast-journeying-through-new-jerseys-haunte/ | 2018-11-16T10:35:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743007.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116091028-20181116113028-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.950694 | 811 | [

Vanderbilt Student Media Hall of Fame’s 2010 class namedby Ann Marie Deer Owens Jul. 7, 2010, 11:14 AM
Six Vanderbilt University alumni who worked in student media and then distinguished themselves through a variety of careers – including cardiologist, journalist, author and broadcast executive – will be inducted into the Vanderbilt Student Media Hall of Fame on Oct. 22.
Those selected for the 2010 class are Don Benson, president and CEO of Lincoln Financial Media; Alex Heard, author and editorial director for Outside magazine; Buster Olney, writer and analyst for ESPN; Dr. Raphael Smith, professor of medicine, emeritus, Vanderbilt University Medical Center; and Tracy Wilkinson, Mexico City bureau chief for the Los Angeles Times. Also to be honored posthumously is Ralph McGill, journalist and Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist with the Atlanta Constitution.
A ceremony and reception to honor the inductees is scheduled from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the Vanderbilt Sarratt Student Center’s Cinema and adjacent lobby. The event will be held in conjunction with Vanderbilt’s Homecoming/Reunion Weekend. In addition, the 2010 inductees will be recognized in a permanent exhibit in the Sarratt Student Center, the longtime home of Vanderbilt Student Communications.
“After reviewing more than 100 nominations, the selection committee feels strongly that these six alumni are highly deserving of recognition in the Student Media Hall of Fame,” Chris Carroll, director of student media, Vanderbilt Student Communications, said. “This is the highest honor that we can bestow on these former student journalists.”
To be eligible for recognition, alumni have to have worked as a student staff member at least 10 years prior to the Hall of Fame induction date.
Vanderbilt permeated the DNA of Benson’s family. His father, grandfather, uncles and younger brother attended the university and Benson Science Hall was named for his father’s uncle. Benson grew up in Nashville, loved Vanderbilt and developed a keen interest in radio during his teens. He found his way to campus and WRVU, where he began reporting news on a fill-in basis. WRVU became a large part of Benson’s college life. After graduating in 1974 with a B.A. in history, “D.B,” as he was called, began his radio career with Jefferson-Pilot at WQXI AM/FM in Atlanta.
Now, with more than 30 years of radio industry experience, he is president and CEO of Lincoln Financial Media Co., the previous owner of Jefferson-Pilot. Benson has overall responsibility for the operations of 14 radio stations in Atlanta, Miami, San Diego and Denver. Benson has been named to Radio Ink magazine’s list of “The 40 Most Powerful People in Radio.”
Heard, a native of Jackson, Miss., transferred to Vanderbilt from a college in Kansas in 1978. He enjoyed writing for student publications and earned his B.A. in English in 1980. After graduation he moved to Washington, D.C., where he began working at magazines, and he’s been doing that ever since. Heard is the editorial director of Outside magazine. He also has worked as an editor and writer at Wired, The New York Times Magazine, New Republic and other publications.
Heard’s new book, The Eyes of Willie McGee, tells the story of a young African American man from Laurel, Miss., who was executed in 1951 for allegedly raping a white housewife. To tell the story, Heard relied on exhaustive documentary research, including court transcripts, contemporary newspaper reports, archived papers, letters, FBI documents, interview transcripts and other untapped sources, along with the recollections of family members whose parents or spouses were involved in the case. He also wrote Apocalypse Pretty Soon, a nonfiction book about the millennium that was published in 1999.
Olney, who grew up on a farm in Vermont, came to Vanderbilt to study history, but said “my major was working at the newspaper and at Versus.” By age 15 he knew that he wanted to be a sportswriter, in particular, one who covered baseball. He does this now as a senior writer and analyst for all ESPN entities, appearing on programs such as “Baseball Tonight” and “Sports Center.”
After graduating with a B.A. in history in 1988, Olney became the Nashville Banner beat reporter for the Nashville Sounds. He moved to the San Diego Union-Tribune and Baltimore Sun before joining The New York Times, where he covered first the Mets and then the Yankees. He has been at ESPN since 2003. Olney is the author of The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty: The Game, the Team, and the Cost of Greatness and of the forthcoming book How Lucky You Can Be, which is about basketball coach Don Meyer.
According to the 1953 Commodore, Smith was among those who began work on a campus radio station, then called WVU. He served as the station’s first technical director and engineer. His activities included laying army surplus field wire through the campus steam tunnels to transmit a radio signal to the dorms and being on call 24/7 for repair of equipment. Smith earned his B.A. in chemistry in 1955 and then went to Harvard, where he received his M.D. He did tours of active naval duty during Vietnam and Desert Storm, where he was deployed to the Middle East. He joined the Vanderbilt faculty in 1969 and directed the Coronary Care Unit and Heart Station. He also became chief of cardiology at the Nashville Veterans Medical Center. Smith was in charge of a series of experiments involving the effect of weightlessness on astronauts’ heart function during the three Skylab missions. He was on the decks of the recovery ships so he could interpret his findings when the astronauts were pulled out of the water.
Other research interests include the diagnosis and new forms of treatment for heart failure. The cardiology unit at the Nashville VA Medical Center is named after him.
Wilkinson grew up in Atlanta, Ga., and worked as a reporter and news editor for The Hustler. She earned her B.A. in English literature in 1980. After working for United Press International in Peru and Nicaragua, Wilkinson joined the LA Times in 1987. She has covered wars, crises and daily life in more than 50 countries. Wilkinson has been based in San Salvador; in Vienna, where she covered the war in the Balkans; in Jerusalem; and in Rome, where she wrote about a papal funeral and election. She has covered southern Europe, done several stints in Iraq and is now based in Mexico City, where she is the Times’ bureau chief and a contributor to its La Plaza blog.
Among her awards, Wilkinson received the George Polk Award for coverage of the Balkans and Kosovo and the Overseas Press Club Award twice. She also wrote the lead story in the Times’ Pulitzer-award-winning package on racially motivated riots. Her book The Vatican’s Exorcists: Driving Out the Devil in the 21st Century has been translated into half a dozen languages.
McGill, who was born in 1898 in Igou’s Ferry (Hamilton County), Tenn., enrolled at Vanderbilt in 1917. He wrote a column called “Censored” for The Hustler and contributed to Jade, a student humor magazine. McGill also wrote poetry and became friends with some of the famed Fugitive writers. He lettered in football under legendary Coach Dan McGugin. However, during his senior year, he was suspended for writing a Hustler column in which he criticized the administration for not using the $20,000 that was bequeathed by a former professor for a student lounge. By that time, McGill was busy with his job outside school as he covered the police beat at the Nashville Banner. He left the College of Arts and Science although he later enrolled in Vanderbilt Law School. McGill, who was a member of Sigma Chi fraternity, got in trouble again and kicked out of school for pulling a prank against a rival fraternity. He invited some of the more notorious individuals that he had met covering police stories to Beta Theta Pi’s spring formal.
McGill never completed any degrees at Vanderbilt but continued to work at the Banner, becoming sports editor and sports columnist. In 1929 McGill joined the Atlanta Constitution, where he worked his way up to syndicated columnist, editor and publisher of the morning newspaper. McGill was a staunch supporter of civil rights and opposed social and educational segregation at a time when few around him spoke out on the issue. In 1959 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for editorials condemning hate crimes by the Ku Klux Klan. McGill published four books, including The South and the Southerner. Harvard University was among several institutions awarding him honorary degrees. McGill died from a heart attack in 1969.

International Art Exhibtion/Auction begins today
A SMALL WORLD – a Postcard Exhibition
An International Exhibition of small works held at Magpie Springs Gallery, South Australia
Exhibition Opening 13th Nov 2016 2pm – Exhibition Concludes 15th Jan 2017 5pm
As artists we can share our works and make connections never before possible every day with each other on social media. We often see our artist friends works but the chance to see or even own an original from that artist is perhaps slim, especially if they are on the other side of the world.
This is your chance to take part in an International show, purchase an original piece from your favourite artist and support cancer research – it’s about making connections through art.
Marilyn Jetty Swim
The Magpie Springs “A Small World” exhibition is raising money for Cancer Council SA’s research, prevention and support services with money raised going to the Cancer Council SA on behalf of Marilyn Jetty Swim. | <urn:uuid:bb3bb33a-1cd2-4aa1-9adc-085a903dd277> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://atkins.com.au/blog/2016/11/13/international-art-exhibtionauction-begins-today | 2018-11-18T22:51:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744750.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118221818-20181119003818-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.942154 | 204 | [

The trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp, the sequel to Paul Rudd's 2015 solo MCU debut, gives us a great look at Evangeline Lilly as the Wasp, as well as some hints about the baddies Scott and Hope will be facing. But let's be honest, most of us are here for all the crap that gets bigger and smaller. So, here's a collection of all the size-defying shenanigans in this debut teaser.
This shot is from Captain America: Civil War, but I figured if I didn't include it someone would ask me why. So here you go... it's a chrome-tinted flashback!
When Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) goes on the lam, he doesn't just grab a laptop or flash drive to preserve his research... he takes the whole damn building! Converts it into a lovely carry-on. However, I'm really hoping no one was inside when he did it.
Scott Lang (Rudd) has to conjure up some winged transportation to keep up with the Wasp. Definitely looks like a winged ant to me, which could mean Ant-Man gets a new pal after losing Ant-thony in the first film.
The trailer indicates a high-speed chase right around the time when Hank Pym goes to pick up his building. It starts with Hope (Lilly) shrinking down her car to the size of a matchbox in order to evade the armed pursuers...
... then, holy hell!
We can see Sonny Burch (Walton Goggins), holding Hank's miniaturised building in his quivering arms, shrinking away from from Ant-Man's giant gaze. Sonny is the chairman of Cross Technologies, and presumably assumed control after Darren Cross (maybe?) died in the first film.
We get a couple of shots showing the Wasp in action, and it's all fantastic. She might not have taken up the superhero mantle when Scott Lang did, but she's clearly a master of the technology... with fighting skills to boot.
How many people could run on a goddamn knife? Get it, girl.
Tiny Tardigrades! Also, a closer look at a ship seen earlier in the trailer. No confirmation what it is, but I imagine it's a Fantastic Voyage-esque vessel that can make travel to, and through, the Quantum Realm easier. But who cares... it's Tiny Tardigrades!
And finally, we close on our newest duo, the Wasp and Ant-Man. I'm really excited to see what Lilly brings to the sequel, since the original Ant-Man was fine but somewhat forgettable. It will also be great to see how this film factors into Marvel's multiverse, as well as the overall future of its Cinematic Universe. Ant-Man and the Wasp comes out July 5. No carry-on buildings allowed. | <urn:uuid:2fe67579-70dd-4ce8-aba0-970e597d23b4> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/01/heres-all-the-crap-that-changes-size-in-marvels-ant-man-and-the-wasp-trailer/ | 2018-11-18T22:37:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744750.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118221818-20181119003818-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.961618 | 597 | [

This month we check out a quirky spot for cocktails and tartares, two new Michelin starred Chefs open restaurants, a Tibetan restaurant woos vegetarians, a Chengdu-Western Cafe makes one of the best eggs benny we’ve had, we find a spot offering tasty Asian with killer views and more!
Restaurant Zén –– Michelin Star Chef
Halycon & Crane — Chic Chengdu-Western Cafe
Halycon & Crane is a little nest of calm inside Paragon Mall. By the same people behind Birds of a Feather, this café is smartly decked out with Chinese wooden umbrellas and screens, low (for a mall) lighting and a pretty colour scheme. Halcyon & Crane is inspired by Chengdu, the charming city in China’s Sichuan province where the cafe owners come from. The menu is a blend of modern European cuisine with a Sichuan influence. We ordered the King’s Chicken Hash Benedict ($21) – not the usual take on eggs ben and all the more exciting for that. This dish features house-made English muffins topped with gong bao chicken packed full of flavour, sous-vide egg and Cheddar cheese. All with a side of spiced roast potatoes! Lighter options range Pistachio & Apple Birches Muesli ($17) for breakfast to Smoked Tuna Tataki Salad. The Specialty Beef & Tomato Braised Rice ($28) is a comfort soul dish of 16 hour cooked Angus brisket, in a tomato base with kamut, buckwheat and barley grains or for something spicy the Chicken & Mushroom Capellini noodle soup ($23). Halycon & Crane have got the afternoon tea crowd in mind with their all-day desserts: Avocado Cheesecake ($16), Berries Trifle & Cheese in a glass ($15) or the Matcha Molten Lava. Don’t miss coffee which is the heart of the business. The Beetroot piccolo and latte is a coffee platter featuring two coffees: a pretty pink sweet demure beetroot coffee and a latte, with a portion of candy floss, a thirst-quenching glass of soda water and some fruity nibbles on the side.
Halycon & Crane, 290 Orchard Road, Unit #03-09 The Paragon, Tel: (+65) 9727 5121, www.facebook.com/halcyoncrane
The English House — Marco Pierre White’s New Resto
Basque Kitchen by Aitor — Michelin Starred Chef
Basque Kitchen by Aitor (where defunct Blackwattle used to be) is Unlisted Collection’s newest spot on Amoy Street. The Basque-inspired restaurant is helmed by Head Chef Aitor Jeronimo Orive, who was Head Chef of One-Michelin Star restaurant Iggy’s in Singapore previously. Basque Kitchen is all about homey, comforting Basque dishes with a casual fine dining slant. On the menu: set lunches at $45 and 7-course dinners at $115++with a la carte dishes to come soon. Look out for the stunningly pink dish of Cherry Gazpatxo with pickled watermelon, and cottage cheese snow; Chef Aitor’s version of Marmitako, a stew typically comprising tuna and potato, here prettily plated with stock as a base, topped with potatoes and bonito crudo; and one of our fave dishes, the hug-on-a-plate Angus Oxtail “Bomba” Rice with quail egg confit. The wine list is from Spain encompassing Peter Sisseck and Vega Sicilia along with smaller scale boutique producers from lesser-known regions, such as Ronda, Spain. Spanish gins, pacharáns and unfiltered sulphite-free Basque ciders.
Basque Kitchen by Aitor, 97 Amoy Street, Singapore 069917, Tel: (+65) 6224 2232, www.basquekitchenbyaitor.com
Kinou — Cocktails & Ceviche
Kino has just opened on Tras street – this spot has a well-stocked cocktail bar with a mind-boggling list of cocktails, a restaurant and upstairs, a drinks lounge and event space. The restaurant offers lots of sharing plates with a focus on ceviche and tartare and meat-centric items like Bone To Be Wild ($16++) — beef marrow with sourdough toast. The ceviches and tartares at Kinou can be mixed and matched into platters of three, five or seven options. The Kinou Signature Beef Tartare of raw Angus beef is mixed with Comté cheese instead of the usual raw egg, and for the adventurous, there’s also an unusual duck tartare, Whack A Quack, featuring raw duck sliced with a spiced gingerbread. We love the playful names for the cocktails and dishes – order a Vegan Nightmare Platter for a meat feast to share: Hangar Steak, Kinou Signature burger served in a brioche sandwich, Magret Duck Breast, Wagyu Sausage and a delicious Lamb Sausage. For dessert don’t miss Nadya’s Some Sort of Chocolate Dessert ($15++), a delightful concoction of sweet and savoury with miso caramel parfait, chocolate mousse, shoyu glaze and cashew brittle. Kinou’s cocktails – like The Last Minute ($22++), a vodka martini with Grand Marnier, apricot brandy, mango puree, orange and fresh coriander – all come with the New York pour of 60ml (that’s double the standard!).
Kinou, 81 Tras Street, Singapore 079020, Tel: (+65) 6224 0463, www.kinourestaurant.com
The Communal Place — Affordable Comfort in East
This new spot in Joo Chiat is one to put on your radar if you are in the area and looking for a good quality affordable comfort meal. Minimally decorated, this casual restaurant reserves its attention for the food, from Miso Salmon with poached vegetables ($18), to a thoughtfully presented Seafood Bouillabaisse ($15) with a deep flavoured bisque to complement the seafood. There’s no kids menu but plenty that kids would happily tuck into – Pulled Pork Burger and Fries ($15) or Fish and Chips ($15). We tried the Beef Cheek Ragu Pasta with perfectly cooked spaghetti and a wobbly 63°C sous vide egg to pierce and make the tasty ragu sauce even more unctuous. Kids and the #eatingfortheinsta crowd will equally be excited about dessert: the Chocolate Dome ($16) is a chocolate shell filled with a mix of deliciousness (which will change monthly) like ice cream, homemade honeycomb, popping candy, berries and homemade custard. The fun starts when the server brings the dome to your table and crashes it on to the plate to reveal what’s inside – like a mega Kinder egg!
The Communal Place,465 Joo Chiat Road, Singapore, 427677, Tel: (+65) 6282 3359, www.thecommunalplace.com
Ganglamedo — Vegetarian Tibetan cuisine
Ganglamedo is housed in a three storey shophouse off Craig Road that oozes Tibetan charm with its warm-hued wood, rich golds and traditional booth-style seating. The menu focuses on vegetarian Tibetan set meals – with one option for lunch, a 3-course set ($38 pp min 2 pax) to a choice of different sets for dinner – a five-course vegetarian set at $59.90, 7 courses at $88, plus other VIP menus featuring Cordyceps double boiled soup.

“Would anyone anywhere in the world be willing to take a truncheon in the head for the sake of a trade agreement with the United States?”, asks Timothy Snyder acerbically in his article “A Way Out for Ukraine?” knowing the answer perfectly well.
Many Ukrainians, indeed, got truncheons in their heads in the past two weeks, as they were protesting on the streets of Kyiv against their government’s last-moment decision to abstain from signing the Association Agreement with the EU. Timothy Snyder is well aware that it is not the Agreement per se that mobilized the protesters but their hope for a “normal life in a normal country” which the agreement had envisaged and come to symbolize. Now, as the government had stolen that hope, they feel deceived – it’s not just about this single incident, but about their whole lives, the whole development of the country stuck for 22 years in a grey zone between post-Soviet autocracies to the East and increasingly democratizing and prosperous neighbours to the West.
There were too many hopes and too many disappointments in the past 22 years – starting with national independence, endorsed by 90% of the citizens but compromised eventually by a predatory elite, and ending probably with the Orange Revolution, which also failed to deliver on its promises. The inauguration of Viktor Yanukovych as president in 2010 and the dismissal of the feckless Orange government only made bad things worse. Within a few years, the narrow circle of the president’s allies (nicknamed “the Family”) usurped all power, destroyed the court system, accumulated enormous resources via corruption schemes, and encroached heavily on human right and civil liberties.
Indeed, it might be a blessing in disguise that these people withheld the Agreement, and that a country with such a regime is not taken “into Europe”. But the problem is that they already ARE in Europe – with their villas, stolen money, and diplomatic passports that make the visa-free regime for the rest of Ukrainians unnecessary. They benefit from the rule of law and from property rights in the West, while systemically undermining these things in their own country. It is not them, but Ukraine – its forty-plus million people – who are excluded “from Europe”, whilst the ruling elite enjoys la dolce vita in Western resorts, sucking the last resources from the impoverished country.
For many Ukrainians, the Association Agreement was the last hope to fix these things peacefully, i.e., to make their rulers obey the law, and to get the EU’s support in their attempts to re-establish the rule of law in the country. Most of them have little if any illusion about the ruling clique. But for many of them, including myself, the Agreement had two clear meanings. On the government side, it would have meant a commitment not to steal, not to lie, and not to cheat so much and so unscrupulously. And on the EU side, it would have meant merely to take care of this commitment and help us, wherever possible, to enforce it.
The current government has never been serious about signing the document initiated by their Orange predecessors, and even less serious about its coherent implementation. Yanukovych’s refusal to sign it was a moment of truth, and Maidan is simply a reaction to that truth – a farewell to illusions, and a recognition of reality. The standoff between the government and the protesters may last for a long time, and its result looks unpredictable. It is very unlikely yet that the people who captured the state like Somalian pirates would give up easily. Whatever the outcome, however, three conclusions can already be drawn.
First of all, Ukrainian society proved once again its resilience, its ability to self-organize and act mostly peacefully, despite various provocations – from both the government and quasi-oppositional radicals, generally suspected to be cooperating with the government. Most importantly, both the 2004 and the 2013 protests were clearly value-driven. People went onto the streets not for bread, higher salaries or a populist leader, but for their own dignity, for justice and the hope to live like “in Europe”. They still try (and will try in the future, whatever happens today) to complete the unfinished revolution that swept away the corrupt authoritarian regimes in Eastern Europe from 1989 to 1991 but which stopped, reluctantly, at Ukraine’s western border. If the West fails, once again, to understand this message properly and respond adequately, we will probably witness another cycle of authoritarian Gleichschaltung, stagnation and, inevitably, popular resistance and another upheaval. Even though a substantial part of Ukrainian society, especially in the Southeast, looks in the opposite direction and largely adheres to Soviet values, the very nature of these values keeps their civic mobilization low and unsuitable for the government. Moreover, demography itself dooms Yanukovych’s autocracy: all the opinion surveys reveal a strong correlation between the respondents’ young age and their commitment to European values.
Secondly, the unprecedented monopolization of power and concentration of resources carried out by Yanukovych and his inner circle within the past four years has not, in the end, made their position stronger than that of Leonid Kuchma, who had pursued more flexible ‘divide and rule’ tactics (until he was disqualified by the ‘tape scandal’). Yanukovych today faces resistance not only from civil society and entire regions, which encompass virtually half of the country. He also seems to get only lukewarm support from his fellow-oligarchs. So far, all the major TV channels they control have provided balanced, non-partisan coverage of events – in striking difference to 2004, when all the main channels aired extremely dirty propagandistic materials against the opposition until the revolution erupted. The tough control of Yanukovych’s close associates over the law-enforcement agencies may tempt him to use even more radical measures against the protesters, especially if his Moscow advisers and provocateurs push him in this direction. The victory will be, however, pyrrhic. It is easy to win with bayonets, but difficult to sit on them. Russia may help, of course. But even if Yanukovych ceded all sovereignty to Mr Putin, the Kremlin would encounter the same problem with Ukraine as it had with Hungary, Poland, the Baltic states and some other indigestible regions of the empire. Russia may delay Ukraine’s westward drift, but she cannot stop it.
And thirdly, the Ukrainian opposition is in a weaker position today than it was nine years ago, when the ‘Orange’ mobilization was merely a continuation of the election campaign, when electoral fraud was largely expected and protest actions well prepared, when Viktor Yushchenko as the common leader had an undisputable authority over all factions, and the incumbent Leonid Kuchma was a lame duck with a vested interest in safe retirement. Now, the protests erupted from below and apparently surprised even the leaders of the opposition, who seem not to have found a common leader, a unified position, or clear tactics yet. The presence of the radical nationalistic party Svoboda in their ranks also makes their position more vulnerable, even though Oleh Tiahnybok, Svoboda’s leader, has declared his support for nonviolent struggle. (Back in 2004, he was expelled from Yushchenko’s Our Ukraine block for xenophobic and anti-Semitic statements.) This makes negotiations between the opposition and Yanukovych’s regime even more difficult. International mediation is now more necessary than ever.
The West certainly cannot solve Ukraine’s multiple problems; that task falls to Ukrainians themselves. But the West can facilitate conditions for problem solving, especially when the Kremlin does not spare any effort to do the opposite. The most urgent thing the EU should do is to send a very clear signal that no violence will be tolerated. This signal should be sent not in words, but in deeds. At least ONE Ukrainian official should be ostracized, as soon as possible, and in an exemplary way. The interior minister, many believe, is a primary candidate for this deserving real sanctions. Otherwise Viktor Yanukovych and Co will escalate the violence, and the EU will share the responsibility for its usual fecklessness.

A former Huddersfield woman dying of an industrial disease has appealed for former co-workers to get in touch.
Lily Nelson, 65, who was born in and brought up in Turnbridge but now lives in Stranraer, Scotland, with her husband Bob, has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, a deadly asbestos-related cancer.
Lily, who was Lily Otty before she married, was told she must have been exposed to asbestos dust when she was younger, almost certainly at somewhere she worked.
She has been able to narrow this down to her time as a factory worker making asbestos gaskets for a firm called T A Cockin at Waterloo Mills on Old Leeds Road.
Lily said: “I remember asbestos being used to make rings for industry. I had to cut them to size and apply glue and stick the rings together. The asbestos was wet, but dried out causing dust.
“I worked for T A Cockin in early 1970 and if anyone who worked there around that time could make contact I’d be so grateful.”
Lily is being helped in her search by solicitor Kevin Johnson, a specialist in asbestos disease cases at law firm Leigh Day in Liverpool.
He said: “Mesothelioma is a dreadful disease which is almost always fatal. It develops years after the original exposure to asbestos and leaves the victim short of breath, in severe pain and unable to do even the simplest of tasks.
“It’s particularly tragic in Lily’s case because her exposure to asbestos dust was for a relatively short time in 1970. Sadly, very short periods of exposure to asbestos fibres can cause mesothelioma to develop decades later.”
Lily lived in Huddersfield until she was in her 20s. She met Bob, who hails from Scotland, when he was in the army and she was working in a forces canteen. The couple lived at various locations before settling in Scotland.
Mr Johnson said the company Lily worked for had later undergone a name change and ceased trading a number of years ago, but he said: “We have been able to trace the insurers and this is going to be dealt with through the insurance company.”
Mr Johnson added: “We need to speak to anyone who worked at T A Cockin in the late 1960s and/or early 1970s who could shed any light on how asbestos was used in manufacturing processes.”
Mr Johnson said any information received would be treated in the strictest confidence.

This or That – Making Great Decisions (6/24/18)
“Life is a sum of all your choices”. So, what are you doing today?”– Albert Camus
- You are going to experience a lot of pain in your life. (John 16:33)
- Much of the time is not your fault.
- Some pain is within your control.
- This or That? You get to choose your pain.
Discipline: “choosing between what you want most and what you want now.”
Choosing the pain of Discipline over the pain of Regret (Romans 7:15-19,24-25)
- How difficult it is to do what’s right.
- On our own, over time we are prone to making wrong choices.
- Who can help me? The answer is in Jesus Christ.
Journeying with the Apostle Paul: The Race (I Corinthians 9:24-28)
- Run to win.
- You must be disciplined in training. (I Corinthians 9:25)
- We run not to receive a temporary reward.
- We run to honor and glorify the one who gave his life for us. (Hebrews 12:1)
Two Determining Questions
- What do you want most in your life right now?
- What do you need to choose now to achieve what you want most?
Running with purpose in every step.
- Ill. – the yard
- The more vulnerable you are in a certain area, the more you need to walk with purpose.
Christ in Me: the source of power, strength, courage (Philippians 4:13)
- If you do not do something NOW about what you want MOST, that will most likely become your greatest regret.
- The greatest way to deal with regret is by choosing discipline
- Christ is stronger than the wrong desires in me. (Philippians 3:13)

A primary school’s decision to scrap its homework policy is a step the right direction, but it doesn’t go far enough.
Allambie Heights Public School in Sydney’s northern suburbs stopped sending students home with daily activities at the beginning of 2017, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.
Kids are instead encouraged (but not required) to submit research-orientated projects every semester or term, depending on their grade.
The projects are an excellent initiative. But if the current parenting zeitgeist is to embrace a child’s individual strengths, then surely their after school activities should foster that uniqueness.
There have been calls from parents on social media to embrace substitute tasks that still promote a child's growth. | <urn:uuid:6bebbe30-dbd4-46c5-94c3-6a4a82bd145e> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.mamamia.com.au/should-homework-be-compulsory/ | 2018-11-15T08:45:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742569.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115075207-20181115101207-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.931971 | 149 | [

National Day of the UAE, a top official confirmed to Gulf News on Monday.
The project had missed its previous opening date.
However, work is going in full swing and is expected to be wrapped up by the end of November, confirmed Hussain Nasser Lootah, director general of Dubai Municipality.
Speaking to Gulf News on the sidelines of a press conference at the municipality headquarters, Lootah said: “We are expecting to complete and hope to open Dubai Safari by the end of November.”
he UAE will mark its 46th National Day on December 2, 2017.
He said there will be a soft launch of the project under progress in Al Warqa in the beginning of November for testing of the operations.
When asked if the public will be able to visit Dubai Safari by the end of November, he said:
By the end of November [the first phase of] the project will be complete.”
But for the official opening, we have to wait for the right time when His Highness will do it,” he said referring to a grand inauguration by His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Gulf News had earlier quoted Lootah as saying that Dubai Safari would start receiving visitors after the 2017 summer.
When asked about the new opening timeframe revealed by Lootah on Monday, Tim Husband, the technical director of Dubai Safari, said: “We are pushing hard to meet this deadline and at this time I can’t see why we wouldn’t reach our goal.”
“We will have most of our collection in place for the soft opening,” he added.
Earlier this year, Husband had told Gulf News that Dubai Safari will be home to around 3500 animals in its first phase.
In the making since 2013, the150 metre-high, 193 metre-long golden tower featuring a glass bridge in Zabeel Park, will offer a 360 degree view of the new and the old Dubai’s skylines on either side of it.

OP3001. LA DAME BLANCHE (Boieldieu), recorded 1996, w.Minkowski Cond. Radio France Ensemble; Rockwell Blake, Annick Massis, Mireille Delunsch, Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, Laurent Naouri, Sylvie Brunet, etc. (E.U.) 2-EMI 56355, Slipcase Edition, incl.121pp. Elaborate Libretto-Brochure. Long out-of-print, Final copy! - 724355635525
“LA DAME BLANCHE was one of the most successful operas in the world when it began life in 1825 at l’Opéra-Comique, Paris. By 1862 it had received 1,000 performances at that house alone. It premiered in London in 1826, and New York in 1827. In 1904 the Met revived it with Johanna Gadski and Franz Naval, conducted by Felix Mottl. Sadly, this genre of French opera has pretty much vanished from our international opera scene and we have lost the charms of Boieldieu and Adam, not to mention the more grandiose Meyerbeer as well.
James Miller...pointed to the more complete Minkowski recording on EMI, in more modern sound as well....The Minkowski features Rockwell Blake in the fiendishly difficult tenor role of George Brown, and Blake copes brilliantly with the demands of the score....if the opera really interests you, you need the EMI [Set] because of its completeness, and because it supplies a libretto and good notes."
- Henry Fogel, FANFARE
“Rockwell Blake made his solo opera début in 1976 at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. as Lindoro in Rossini's L'ITALIANA IN ALGERI, and made his début at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1981 in the same role, with Marilyn Horne as his Isabella. He went on to become one of the leading Rossini singers of his generation, singing regularly at the Rossini Opera Festival in Pesaro since his début there in 1983. He made his La Scala début in 1992 as Giacomo in LA DONNA DEL LAGO. It was La Scala's first production of the opera in 150 years and was staged to mark the bicentenary of Rossini's birth. His two-and-a-half octave range and mastery of florid vocal technique and coloratura, have made him a successful interpreter not only of Rossini's tenore contraltino roles (in whose recent revival he has been a chief protagonist), but also of operas by Mozart, Donizetti, Bellini and Handel. Within that repertoire, Blake has sung in over 40 operas.”
“Annick Massis has an almost superhuman ability to sing colorature.”
- Robert Thickness, THE TIMES
“LA DAME BLANCHE is an opéra comique in three acts by the French composer François-Adrien Boieldieu. The libretto was written by Eugène Scribe and is based on episodes from no less than five works of the Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott. The opera has typical elements of the Romantic in its Gothic mode, including an exotic Scottish locale, a lost heir, a mysterious castle, a hidden fortune, and a ghost, in this case benevolent. The work was one of the first attempts to introduce the fantastic into opera and is a model for works such as Giacomo Meyerbeer's ROBERT LE DIABLE and Charles Gounod's FAUST. The opera's musical style also heavily influenced later operas like LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR, I PURITANI and LA JOLIE FILLE DE PERTH.
LA DAME BLANCHE was first performed on 10 December 1825 by the Opéra-Comique at the Théâtre Feydeau in Paris. It was a major success and became a standby of the 19th century operatic repertory in France and Germany. By 1862, the Opéra-Comique had given more than 1,000 performances of LA DAME BLANCHE.
The opera's popularity began to diminish towards the very end of the 19th century and performances since have been rare. The overture was put together from Boieldieu's themes by his student Adolphe Adam.
Boieldieu's score is highly expressive and full of striking numbers. Of particular note are Jenny's ballad, Brown's entrance aria and the music sung by Anna, which is highly florid and preceded by harp arpeggios whenever the Dame Blanche (White Lady) appears. The central dramatic focus of the opera is the auction scene, an ensemble in the Italian style which has an intensity not equalled or surpassed by any other opéra comique of that period, either by Boieldieu or his contemporaries. The aria from the opera that is most often performed today in recital is the tenor aria, ‘Viens, gentille dame’.”

Following a fifteen year battle to increase economic growth, improve living standards and establish a European Union free-trade area in an effort to be approved as a World Trade Organization member country, Ukraine has reached its goal. World Trade Organization members meeting in Geneva in February approved the accession agreement which required that Ukraine ratify the accord by the latest 4 July, and having done so, the country would become a WTO member thirty days later. Ukraine lost no time in fulfilling their obligations, and became a fully-fledged WTO member on 16 May 2008.
There are many benefits to being a World Trade Organization member, as the organization sets global rules to facilitate the free-flow of commerce and trade between member countries, as well as acting as an arbitrator in reaching mutually beneficial conclusions in the event of a trade dispute. Ukrainian President, Viktor Yushchenko, expressed his confidence that Ukraine will successfully handle the task of implementing any changes needed to meet WTO regulations. Some of the changes that are being put into place since inclusion into the WTO, have a direct bearing on tourism, with the two major adjustments relating to visas and foreign currency restrictions.
Non-residents who enter the country on a visa may stay for a period not longer than 90 continuous days from the date of their passport control stamp. Individuals entering Ukraine by means of the simplified or visa-free arrangement may stay for a period of 90 cumulative days within any 180 day period. Citizens of WTO member countries may stay in Ukraine for a period of 180 cumulative days during a one year period. Those who plan to stay beyond these periods may register with the Department of Citizenship, Immigration and Registration to do so. Should travelers stay longer than their stipulated days without registration, they would face a fine. It is recommended to register at least three days prior to passport entry stamp expiration.
With regard to currency regulations, individuals do not need a written customs declaration to bring into or take out of Ukraine the equivalent of 10,000 Euro. Should the amount be in excess of 10,000 Euro, a compulsory written customs declaration is necessary for the entire amount. However, if the funds brought into the country are for performing banking operations, a customs declaration is compulsory regardless of the amount.
No doubt, as with any significant changes in any organization, there are sure to be some “teething problems”. But with proper planning, your visit to the fascinating country of Ukraine is sure to be filled with memory-making moments. | <urn:uuid:65caa676-9a2d-42b3-a649-41ea2f0604a8> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.ukraine.com/blog/wto-membership-means-new-rules-for-visitors/ | 2018-11-14T04:40:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741628.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114041344-20181114063344-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.961789 | 506 | [

At Sonshine Ranch we thrive off having our Camp Leaders “home-grown”.
During the holiday camps, each cabin is assigned two leaders who have themselves come up through the holiday camps, knowing the structure of the camps and having observed leaders in their roles during camp. They take leadership in looking after and helping the campers tack up their ponies, complete the various outdoor activities and provide a fun and caring environment for the campers to enjoy the thrills of camp.
We strongly believe in giving young people the chance to grow in their leadership skills at an age when they are highly motivated and enthusiastic. That is why we like to train young people as Leaders in Training as early as yr 9 (13 yrs).
Each year the Ranch runs two leadership camps. These camps are the Queens Birthday Leaders training Weekend in June and the Hoofin It Camp before Christmas. Attendance to an annual training camp is a requirement for anyone wishing to become a leader and for current leaders. During these camps you will be able to connect with other leaders, develop the skills in becoming a camp leader and learn more about what it means to be a good role model.
It does help if you have horse knowledge and riding experience as most of our camps are based around horse riding. However having said that, this doesn’t mean you have to be an advanced rider. There are lots of different and very important tasks to do and lead in other than horse riding.
The leaders should and are encouraged to take part in Mailbox Club/Truth Chasers (Christian study or equivalent) to deepen and develop their faith, which is the building blocks of Sonshine Ranch. If you have made a commitment to follow Jesus or if you are not sure but would like to know more about becoming a leader, please feel free to get in touch with us.
The greatest leaders are those with a willing heart to serve, a positive attitude towards the activities and duties, and the joy to bless others by giving of themselves.
ANNUAL QUEENS BIRTHDAY LEADER IN TRAINING WEEKEND:
For campers wishing to one day become a camp leader, you will need to attend a LIT weekend, usually held over Queens Birthday. Click Enquire Now to be invited to the next leaders training weekend. | <urn:uuid:41dfdc12-176e-4fb7-9cde-a5ce1c1d3a46> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://sonshineranch.co.nz/camp-leaders/ | 2018-11-15T10:09:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742666.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115095814-20181115121814-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.973367 | 471 | [

'Virtual court' for drink drivers in north Kent
Police in Kent have begun using a "virtual court" in a bid to get alleged drink-drivers off the roads faster.
Two people have been dealt with under the scheme since its launch at the beginning of the month.
Anyone caught under the influence has their case heard at North Kent police station, which is connected to Medway Magistrates' Court by video link.
Those who are guilty can have their licences taken away through disqualification the same day.
People arrested and then charged with drink-driving are normally bailed for 15 days to appear before magistrates and are still permitted to drive.
One driver, a 39-year-old man arrested on Friday, appeared before the virtual court and was given an interim ban and bailed to appear in court again on 7 January.
A 60-year-old man charged with being drunk in charge of a mobility scooter was ordered to pay £85 costs and given a 12-month conditional discharge the same day.
Virtual courts were first used in a pilot scheme in south London last year, which linked Charing Cross Police Station with Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court. | <urn:uuid:fa152620-eb0f-4f48-8e80-33357e72d708> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-kent-11979181 | 2018-11-15T11:45:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742666.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115095814-20181115121814-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.975669 | 240 | [

Colleges: Bellotti announces he's stepping down as Oregon AD
EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon athletic director Mike Bellotti is stepping down after less than a year in the position to take a job with ESPN.
Bellotti was head coach of the Ducks for 14 seasons before he formally took over as athletic director on July 1. He'll make his debut as a college football analyst for ESPN on April 17.
His tenure as AD has been tumultuous. Earlier this week, he dismissed men's basketball coach Ernie Kent because of losses and dropping attendance.
He's also seen a spate of player misconduct on the football team. Quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was suspended for the upcoming season after pleading guilty to a second-degree burglary charge.
Running back LaMichael James pleaded guilty on an unrelated harassment charge and was suspended by coach Chip Kelly for a game. | <urn:uuid:ec5899e3-6c6c-49f5-8707-f5dd0bf9cd09> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2010/Mar/19/br/hawaii100319024.html | 2018-11-16T17:44:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743110.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116173611-20181116195611-00157.warc.gz | en | 0.986165 | 176 | [

Stay Wild is an awesome adventure magazine based in Portland, OR.
In 1967, Vermont native Leonard Knight had a life-changing moment of religious transcendence in Southern California. He wanted people to know about it. But between his revelation and building the zenith of Salvation Mountain, he spent years attempting and failing to launch a love-proclaiming hot-air balloon. Dejected, Knight decided to move on in 1984, but first he’d build a small monument in the California desert by Highway 111 near Salton Sea. Clearly one thing led to another. That became the first Salvation Mountain, which collapsed under its own uneven weight around 1989. A tireless optimist, Knight rebuilt.
Despite its remote location, Knight wanted everyone to visit. Don’t mistake Salvation Mountain’s magnificent kitsch for insincerity; the multi-decade masterpiece is as honest a labor of love as they come. Knight wanted to turn as many people as possible on to universal love and acceptance. In his mind, the message was paramount, closely followed by the mountain itself, with outsider art-hero and self-made minister a distant third. Not into religion? Visit anyway. The kind of love-from-above that Knight believed in was radically inclusive. He insisted that love is simple.
“That message appealed to me,” says Dan Westfall, president of the Salvation Mountain nonprofit, “and to so many of us who were raised in whatever type of religion and found it so full of unnecessary rules and constraints. We want to complicate and own everything, but God’s love is a gift. You can’t deserve it more than somebody else. You can’t fight over it. You can’t earn it. That message disarms a lot of people.”
In the last few decades, the site has become a magnet for artists and explorers with a taste for the realest of Americana folk. People want to know what makes a person dedicate their whole life to tirelessly building something with just their hands and heart and sweat. Also, Salvation Mountain is mind-blowing to look at. Along with documentaries and other media attention, this year National Geographic photographer Aaron Huey is releasing five years’ worth of photography in a loose scrapbook collection called Where the Heaven Flowers Grow, with partial proceeds going toward the Salvation Mountain nonprofit.
It’s no wonder so many people are transfixed. There’s an uncanny, special feeling at sites dedicated to the worship of beauty or the beauty of worshipping. There’s an extra-impassioned air when we know they were built by one person. We can see time passing in the creation of it, our human bodies the measuring sticks for how long such a huge-scale project takes. There’s postman Ferdinand Cheval’s Le Palais Idéal in France, Horace Burgess’ bafflingly massive Minister’s Treehouse in Tennessee, and Edward Leedskalnin’s mysterious Coral Castle in Florida. None of these approach the irrepressible color and volatility of Knight’s creation.
Salvation Mountain also has the magical quality of public art installations like Prada Marfa, Metaphor: the Tree of Utah, or the knitted pink rabbit in the Italian Alps that you can see from space. Desolate locations make for more intimacy at the end of a pilgrimage. But Leonard’s work of folk art has unplanned immediacy that can’t be mimicked by a planned, commissioned public piece. You can feel the heartbeat in it.
In its heyday, visitors to Salvation Mountain got an enthusiastic tour by the man himself. It’s estimated that Knight personally greeted more than half a million people during his nearly 30-year tenure as the king of the mountain before his death last year. Thanks to copious interviews, a quick trip through YouTube offers a sense of how exuberantly happy this man was. Since his death at the age of 82, volunteers have kept his dream up and running. His friends knew they needed to protect it so they became a preservation society in the form of a nonprofit. “The mountain and message are too big to be owned,” Westfall says. “We’re just trying to keep it available. That’s our entire goal.”
Congress declared Salvation Mountain a National Treasure in 2002, but nearly a decade earlier it was at high risk of being demolished. It’s faced scrutiny for its proximity to Slab City, a mecca for off-the-grid folks often called “the last free city in America.” “At this point, who owns the land under Salvation Mountain is up in the air,” Westfall says. California’s plan is to divest itself of the land and sell it to the board. They’re currently awaiting an EPA survey to get things sorted out.
The land used to be a WWII marine training base called Camp Dunlap. “So we’re hoping there aren’t any toxic waste dumps or anything,” Westfall says. “Maybe this year, or maybe early next year we’ll get the transfer of the land settled. Everyone’s on the same page. We have a very good relationship with the state and the EPA and everybody.”
The nonprofit is also there to make sure the site stays a roadside attraction of a holy rather than a hokey nature. “Nothing will ever be sold here. There will never be a gift shop. We don’t want to clutter up the message with commercialization,” Westfall says. Knight had a rule to only accept donations if they seemed to come from the heart, spending any extra money on postcards to give away. “He wanted you to mail the postcard to a friend,” Westfall continues. “His only goal was to spread the word 24/7.”
The nonprofit now takes donations through their website and Facebook to keep the mountain in tip-top shape, but they’re also looking for volunteers to help steward. With such a constant volume of visitors, the attraction needs docents and greeters—people willing to come spend a day, a week, or a nice long while as a live-in caretaker. To get involved, just send an email through their website: salvationmountain.org.
Summer 2015 brought more travelers than any other year. “More young people are coming out here on their own. I know Leonard would be tickled to see young people show up and appreciate it,” Westfall says. “We see people getting inspired out there every day. It’s touching to see that it’s still working. Leonard said he wanted the mountain to do his talking for him, and it still is today.” | <urn:uuid:5de310a0-a672-42bf-bb78-eb6e673f0343> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://meganfresh.com/wp2/stay-wild-magazine/ | 2018-11-17T23:46:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743913.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117230600-20181118012600-00317.warc.gz | en | 0.960904 | 1,431 | [

Well, I think I have my Tumblr profile up to par now. Managing different social media platforms keeps me pretty much engaged.
I have my own blog with Blogger at www.movingroovin.com. I actually want a better website where I’m able to put all of my best photos and short video clips.
I Tweet yet I find it tough to tweet three times a day (they say to Tweet often). I have Facebook, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Flicker. I guess I do need to get Pinterest. That would be next.
Now that I have all of that, uncertain on what direction I’m going with all my photos, comments, posts and information I share. By doing all of this, will I get a new job? I hope so.
You can say I am showcasing my capabilities and dynamics as an artist, writer, community supporter, and photographer. I love being involved with my community neighborhood association. I enjoy being on the board of my association. What’s great is I learn so much and I can voice my concerns and share my opinions. I love attending various events of my interest. I have hosted several different events and the most recent was host a book release party for a first time mystery author, R. Franklin James "The Fallen Angels Book Club".
The different things and projects I’ve recently worked on are on-call photo projects, online class at Stanford University, Webinar workshops from how to be a better email marketer (it was free, I thought to do it) to knowing the upcoming changes for Better Mid-Market projects. All of these events pretty much take place in San Francisco however, I have ventured out to Santa Clara for a sports networking event.
You can say I like to keep busy and try to stay active in all sorts of things so I can stay current with new projects, events, news and other. I do this all on my own to keep busy because I do enjoy it. I enjoy writing (long form too, which I do daily in the morning) and blogging.
Meantime, I appreciate you reading this far. Comments, feedback (constructive or not) welcomed. | <urn:uuid:d67b1c1e-0d35-4ee5-b90f-626488a30360> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.movingroovin.com/2013/08/august-29-writing-entry-hello-there.html | 2018-11-19T06:06:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745281.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119043725-20181119065725-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.962 | 451 | [

With the recent congressional focus on steroid testing in Major League Baseball, it was interesting to see a local team was tested. The St. Louis Cardinals had seven players tested including their player representative.
The following players were tested for steroids by Major League Baseball:
- Carmen Cali
- Evan Rust
- Mike Myers
- Adam Wainwright
- Cody McKay
- Rick Ankiel
- Ray King – Player representative
Even though Wainwright and Rust had been sent down to the minor leagues they were obligated to complete the testing.
Look at this list, though. I know it’s random, but there’s only one regular player on that list.
It is interesting to note that the representative from baseball stood watch. As Ray King said:
They stayed in the room last year, and maybe it’s different in different places, but this guy was right there.

A result of complexity of human behaviour an outstanding many learn variables has to be comprised of the construction blocks of human judgement.

For certain purposes it may be more convenient to have our knowledge in a different form. This device of using axioms to contain all the more specific forms of knowledge is of enormous value as we can, by picking our original forms skillfully, represent whole fields of learning in a few basic principles. By applying the rules of logic appropriate to the sort of axioms we have any specific item of information can be deduced. In this way we reduce our knowledge to deductive systems. This method of forming systems is quite different from the two we examined above, for those systems depended for their structure upon the actual order of events and our classification on the real properties of things.
However the single indicative generalization above is not sufficient to justify the general subjunctive conditional 'If anyone were a Chinaman he would be honest', still less will it serve to justify 'If there were Chinamen they would be honest'. In the latter case by our use of the subjunctive mood we (i) imply that there are now no Chinamen, (ii) delimit a universe of discourse in which such people may be envisaged. Since we have no generalizations about these people their characteristics must be derived from some general laws of nature by means ofwhich we can predict how people of a certain kind, if they existed, would behave.

'; that is subjunctive, conditional elements. g. g. it would shatter. The justification of the conditional element in the analysis of dispositional predicates may be more or less general. It is less general when the grounds for ascription are the previous experiences we have had of the realized possibilities in similar cases, more general when the consequences of realized possibilities can be deduced from theory.
