From Wonder Drug To Halting Its Usage - How Hydroxychloroquine Went From Hero To Zero
The hydroxychloroquine for months has been advertised as a 'magical' drug that can cure coronavirus, but there has always been debate over its use.
The drug is normally used to treat arthritis but pronouncement from public figures including US President Donald Trump -- who also announced that he is taking the drug -- has prompted governments to bulk buy the medicine.
is an anti-malarial and experts have for long been saying that it can produce potentially serious side effects, particularly heart arrhythmia.
Now, World Health Organisation (WH0) has suspended testing the drug in coronavirus patients due to safety concerns, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday.
"The executive group has implemented a temporary pause of the hydroxychloroquine arm within the Solidarity trial while the safety data is reviewed by the data safety monitoring board," Tedros told an online briefing.
From seen as a possible cure to being deemed not safe for patients. Here's a timeline of how we got here.
March 20 — Hydroxychloroquine, anti-malaria drug is touted as COVID-19 'game changer' already in short supply after US President Donald Trump says hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine are possible treatments for COVID-19 during his daily televised news briefings, demand skyrockets, and the drugs quickly go into shortage.
March 24 — A man in US state of Arizona dies after ingesting a non-medication form of chloroquine phosphate in an attempt to prevent himself from contracting COVID-19.
March 26 — India bans exports of hydroxychloroquine to ensure the country has its own stable supply of the drug.
March 28 — US' Food and Drug Administration grants emergency use authorization to allow patients with COVID-19 to be treated with hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine.
April 7 — India lifts its export ban on hydroxychloroquine after President Donald Trump threatens retaliation against the country.
April 10 — Some experts on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic express concern that using hydroxychloroquine could do more harm than good.
April 13 — A small study in Brazil testing the effectiveness of chloroquine in treating COVID-19 patients ends after patients taking a higher dose of the drug develop irregular heart rates.
April 22 — Hydroxychloroquine shows no benefit for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in a study conducted by the Veterans Health Administration.
April 24 — The FDA issues a warning against using hydroxychloroquine outside of a hospital setting or clinical trial due to the risk of serious heart problems.
April 29 — Demand for hydroxychloroquine falls significantly as hospitals become more wary of using the drug after more public health officials warn of serious side effects.
May 25 - WHO effectively suspends testing the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine in coronavirus patients due to safety concerns. | <urn:uuid:e93fd4d2-bba4-476f-b2af-52af0c5203d4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.indiatimes.com/news/world/not-worth-the-risk-who-suspends-hydroxychloroquine-trial-to-treat-covid-19-due-to-safety-concerns-514119.html | 2022-10-04T18:22:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337516.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20221004152839-20221004182839-00677.warc.gz | en | 0.928116 | 638 | [

By Jon Ward
In 2017, the City of Falls Church adopted the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments’ 2050 goal of reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80 percent compared to 2005. MWCOG has adopted an interim 2030 goal of 50 percent reduction. Since 2005, cleaner power-generation technologies have been offset by increases in City traffic and population, so by 2018 our total emissions were down only 2 percent. It’s a tough challenge.
The Virginia General Assembly is requiring Dominion Energy to shift electricity production significantly away from fossil fuel (mainly natural gas) and toward solar, nuclear, wind, and hydroelectric. This helps greatly, but it focuses only on the electric grid and occurs gradually over the next 25 years. The federal government intends to further incentivize using less and cleaner energy, but that too will take time.
There is a lot we can and must do now, locally. Economical products are available that support our goals, and there is no time to waste in putting them to use. While some cleaner technologies may cost more upfront than their polluting counterparts, operating and maintenance costs often make lifetime costs lower. With an eye on 2030, here are the individual actions that can have the greatest effects:
Make your next vehicle electric or a plug-in hybrid (new or used; buy or lease). If you only drive a few thousand miles a year, don’t sweat this one yet: your fuel use is already low. But if you drive closer to 10,000 or more miles per year, the total cost of ownership will likely be less than for an internal combustion vehicle, despite the typically higher upfront cost (consumerreports.org/hybrids-evs/evs-offer-big-savings-over-traditional-gas-powered-cars/). Don’t see a model on the market (plugstar.com/guide) that fits your needs? Nurse your current vehicle along another year or two as model options expand rapidly. It won’t last? Choose a used vehicle to get you through the next few years, then switch.
Meanwhile, if you drive, drive less. Once your post-Covid schedule stabilizes, track your monthly mileage. Then look for how you can cut it by about 15 percent (without ride-hailing). Combine errands into single trips, walk or bike, telecommute, use transit, form a carpool – it all adds up. New developments in the City are encouraging walkability and safe biking options. With about 13,000 vehicles registered in the City, a 15 percent cut could equate to taking 2,000 vehicles off the road.
Single-family home? Consider a heat pump when your current furnace or A/C gives out. In 2018, over 10 percent of GHG emissions attributed to the City was from residential use of natural gas, almost as much as from residential electricity use. Heating and cooling systems installed today could last to 2035 or beyond. Shifting your heating to an electric heat pump will result in lower emissions from the electric grid as it keeps getting cleaner. Twenty years ago, heat pumps had a reputation for being unable to keep up when temperatures neared freezing. But today’s heat pumps can efficiently handle our local climate.
House over 12 years old? Consider an energy assessment. You may already have done a lot on your own: switched to LED and compact fluorescent lights (discard CFLs at the annual hazmat collection); installed programmable thermostats; chosen ENERGY STAR appliances; discarded that spare fridge running in a hot garage; checked for drafts and then caulked and weather-stripped doors and windows; made sure any chimney damper is tight. And there are plenty of government and DIY websites with advice (energy.gov/energysaver; hes.lbl.gov/consumer/). But at some point, investing in an expert energy audit may help prioritize heating & air-conditioning (HVAC), windows, sealing, insulation and other improvements to cut energy use. The older the house and its systems, the bigger the savings likely to be found. A simple walk-through home energy check can cost less than $50.
Also, professional HVAC checks not only maintain system efficiency, they can stop a refrigerant leak before it does more climate damage. Even a small 5 percent loss of Puron (a common air conditioning refrigerant) could total 0.5 lb. It is a potent greenhouse gas, and over 20 years that 0.5 lb will have the same climate effect as burning 110 gallons of gasoline today.
Own or operate commercial property in the City? First, congrats for hanging in there through the pandemic. Second, follow the same recommendations as above. In 2018, GHG emissions due to energy use in our commercial buildings was about 20 percent more than for residential, so comparable reduction levels are needed. Consider rooftop solar: your payback and tree-shade factors are likely even more favorable than our residents’. Continue to support any telecommuting that you expanded this past year.
The City can continue encouraging efficient new buildings, car-free alternatives, and legislation from Richmond. But citizens’ focus on a few key areas can accelerate our shift to a low-carbon society.

Publishing is an intrinsic part of academic life. But why publish at all? The motivation behind the act of publishing is very simple. Teachers and researchers want to freely share their experience and communicate about their findings. It is about advancing science, making impact for a better society and bringing science to not only scientists, but everyone.
Basically, they have a story to tell. And everyone (from scientists to citizens) wants to hear a (great) story.
In 2001, Matthew Arnison describes Open Publishing as “an electronic reinvention of the ancient art of storytelling”. I can only confirm that this definition comes very close to the point.
Open Publishing goes beyond Open Access (free access to all) and includes transparent creation of content, from open (transparent) peer-review, to the use of open infrastructures (wherever it is possible) and innovation.
This is where TU Delft OPEN Publishing comes into play.
TU Delft OPEN Publishing is a diamond open access academic publisher – all publishing costs are covered by the Delft University of Technology. It is also an integral part of the university’s Open Science Programme, with our activities linked with and supporting other themes and projects of the programme.
However, the TU Delft OPEN Publishing platform was created and shaped not only to facilitate Open Access (OA) publications and support Open Science principles but also to help researchers share without boundaries their discoveries through articles or (text)books. The platform takes an important part in the professional and personal development of teachers and researchers.
TU Delft OPEN Publishing’s mission is centred around the researcher as much as their research output. We strive to support and empower authors, editors, reviewers and everyone “telling their stories”.
TU Delft Open Publishing offers a variety of traditional publications: OA journals, Open Books and Open Textbooks. Additionally, it provides many Publishing Services to guide teachers and researchers during their entire publishing journey.
But what is so special about us within the booming academic publishing landscape?
We strive to go “Where No Publisher Has Gone Before”!
Ambitious or Idealistic? Perhaps. The quote adapted from Star Trek: The Next Generation is inspirational and highlights the importance of daring to stimulate innovation.
Launched by the TU Delft Library in October 2019, the TU Delft Open Publishing platform completely adheres to the core business of the library: Free flow of knowledge. The Open Publishing team is keen to embark on a venture of many routes to fulfil our mission.
The team will explore, embrace and validate ideas to serve and be the voice of our community of teachers and researchers. For example, we offer you a space to publish all your scientific research findings, both positive and negative, as all these outputs make a difference in your field.
What have we done so far?
Plan S Compliance
Our biggest priority in 2020 was to ensure full compliance of the platform with Plan S, a new funders’ mandate for open access publishing, and to align our publishing services to efficiently support researchers and teachers. The open publishing team joined forces with colleagues of the TU Delft Library to reach our target.
Get familiar with the publishing guidelines’ requirements for 2021: all you need to know
? New journals
We have launched three Open Access journals.
Journal of Delta Urbanism (JDU)
JDU is dedicated to discussing future design as a collaborative enterprise of the disciplines of spatial design, ecology, engineering and policy and as a leading method within the research premises of the Delta Urbanism research community.
Journal of Coastal and Hydraulic Structures (JCHS).
JCHS is an open community-based journal. All papers are rigorously peer-reviewed research in a double-blind fashion. Its mission is to publish high-level engineering science results in the field of coastal and hydraulic structures.
The Evolving Scholar (ThES)
ThES is a community-driven megajournal for multidisciplinary and open peer-reviewed publications. ThES is an experimental space for developing new forms of publishing and publications and for fostering ideas. The journal was developed in partnership with Orvium (a CERN spin-off) specialized in accelerating scientific publishing. You can be part of the ThES community today – Join here.
We have endorsed and implemented the Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT). CRediT describes the levels of input in a publication by using predefined roles such as “funding acquisition”, “software”, “writing”. It is a transparent way to recognize every research contribution besides the classic acknowledgement section in a paper, book or report.
We support Registered Reports (RR) and strongly encourage our journals to implement RR.
RR is a form of an empirical article in which the methods and proposed analyses are pre-registered and reviewed prior to research being conducted. This format of article seeks to neutralise a variety of inappropriate research practices, including inadequate statistical power, selective reporting of results, and publication bias.
To further drive transparency and openness, and diversify participation in our work, the TU Delft OPEN Publishing blog was launched to share our thoughts, latest progress, and vision to encourage new partnerships and feedbacks.
What does the future hold?
Plenty. These goals are projected on the roadmap in no particular order:
- Develop meaningful metrics for authors, reviewers and editors/moderators
- Explore new ways to publish theses (e.g. as books), data articles and/or videos
- Incentivize the reuse of educational materials and research studies
- Design and build capacity to serve interactive and dynamic publications
- Explore how TU Delft OPEN Publishing can help support citizen science, scientific research and education done in collaboration with citizens
Stay tuned for more updates on our publishing platform!

Former Old Dominion forward Austin Colbert plans to transfer to Hampton University and seek a waiver that will allow him to play immediately, he said Tuesday.
"I think that ODU was a great program and great school," he said. "But I'm looking forward to Hampton being able to help me excel and push me to the limits."
Colbert sat out the 2015-16 season after transferring from Illinois, where he played two seasons. He grew up in Chesapeake but played high school basketball in New Jersey.
Returning home was like a "walk down memory lane," Colbert said. He looked forward to improving his game during practice at ODU, in anticipation of playing in 2016-17.
Colbert's brother James, 24, died in December, however. Colbert struggled to remain focused on basketball in the aftermath.
"I went to a point where I felt like I didn't even want to play basketball anymore," he said. "With everything that's been happening, I think that's not in my best interests. I think that's it time to push through any failures and go harder than ever for my brother."
ODU announced last week that Colbert was leaving school for personal reasons.
"Austin is an excellent young man and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors," coach Jeff Jones said in a statement.
The 6-foot-9 Colbert averaged just 1.8 points and 1.5 rebounds in eight minutes per game at Illinois. But he was a sought-after recruit coming out of Gill St. Bernard's High in New Jersey, where he was rated the No. 97 player in the class of 2013 by rivals.com and No. 98 by 247sports.com.
Colbert would have two years of eligibility remaining if granted a hardship waiver by the NCAA. If not granted the waiver, he would be required to sit out another season and would have one year of eligibility.
"No matter what, I look forward to working hard this summer and the rest of my career," Colbert said.

I need a free duplicate file finder/remover app, with ability to find duplicate files/folders by name and/or by size and to remove one of duplicates.
There was this Duplicate File Finder available for some time but now its only on secondary sites, like this Softpedia reference.
The Wareseeker site shows the correct reference
http://dff.nazrashid.com/ which is no longer around. I would be careful fetching executables from such sites though.
It can do search for duplicates within multiple directory trees based on,
- contents (i think it does a md5 match)
- name and size
- contents and name
And, it lets you filter your search by a minimum and maximum files size (speeds up things when you know the bounds).
A very thoughtful piece of software. Don’t know if there is something as fast and featured for free around these days.
The comments refer to a similar Sourceforge tool called Doubles
I have tried literally dozens of duplicate file finders (I still have the installers/ZIP files for about 20 of them sitting around). I used CloneMaster 2.19 for a time because it was the best one I could find, though even that wans’t perfect (I wanted one that could also detect duplicate MP3s by audio content, ignoring the tags). All of them had problems that frustrated me enough that I decided to write my own and laid out a list of the features I demand of a DFF.
And then I found AllDup. It is the first and only one that actually made me abandon a project (technically mine isn’t completely abandoned, it’s just no longer being worked on since I don’t need to write it anymore because AllDup does everything I want of it). Anyway, AllDup searches for duplicate files, but unlike the others, it uses a lot of the tricks and techniques that I was going to use in my own DFF. As such, it is very fast: it can for example scan >250,000 of sizes from 1B-5GB in ~30mins (I have done it on my system several times).
Another great (and for some reason rare) feature of AllDup is as I mentioned that it can scan for duplicate MP3s by their actually audio data while ignoring tags, so two MP3s that are the same but have differing tags (very common when downloading) will be detected as duplicates. (It could even detect when I ripped two identical songs from two different CDs—with different tags of course.) Of course it can detect dupes based on other factors besides byte-for-byte content, like filenames, dates, etc.
Other great features of AllDup include the ability to filter (include or exclude) based on filename and/or folder name and/or filesize. The results screen is also very versatile with options to select files based on date, path, name, this, that, the other… It also has variety in what to do with detected duplicates
Michael Thummerer is also very receptive. I have reported bugs and suggested features to him several times which he addressed extremely quickly (to the point that he told me to download and try out a beta with the updates in the very next emails the same day).
Oh and it’s free.
Duplicate Cleaner is very fast and it has extensive result set filtering possibilities.
I find this very helpful and more useful than doublekiller. A particularly nice feature is the “Pools” feature, where you can compare one group of directories with another group of directories while ignoring duplicates within the groups.
For example, my partner likes to keep duplicate image files while working with images. I want to see if I have any copies of those files in my directories.
Pool 1 – Partner Home Directory
Pool 2 – My Home Directory.
The only duplicates found are if a file is present both in my directories and my partner’s directories. The files only duplicated in my partner’s directories are ignored. | <urn:uuid:78707f9d-ca63-425e-93f8-26fe0c95fa26> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://fixuser.com/which-duplicate-files-and-folders-finders-exist-for-windows-closed/ | 2022-09-28T05:52:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335124.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928051515-20220928081515-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.956013 | 892 | [

Background Diagnostic errors (missed, delayed or wrong diagnosis) have recently gained attention and are associated with significant preventable morbidity and mortality. The authors reviewed the recent literature and identified interventions that address system-related factors that contribute directly to diagnostic errors.
Methods The authors conducted a comprehensive search using multiple search strategies. First, they performed a PubMed search to identify articles exclusively related to diagnostic error or delay published in English between 2000 and 2009. They then sought papers from references in the initial dataset, searches of additional databases, and subject matter experts. Articles were included if they formally evaluated an intervention to prevent or reduce diagnostic error; however, papers were also included if interventions were suggested and not tested to inform the state of the science on the subject. Interventions were characterised according to the step in the diagnostic process they targeted: patient–provider encounter; performance and interpretation of diagnostic tests; follow-up and tracking of diagnostic information; subspecialty and referral-related issues; and patient-specific care-seeking and adherence processes.
Results 43 articles were identified for full review, of which six reported tested interventions and 37 contained suggestions for possible interventions. Empirical studies, although somewhat positive, were non-experimental or quasi-experimental and included a small number of clinicians or healthcare sites. Outcome measures in general were underdeveloped and varied markedly among studies, depending on the setting or step in the diagnostic process.
Conclusions Despite a number of suggested interventions in the literature, few empirical studies in the past decade have tested interventions to reduce diagnostic errors. Advancing the science of diagnostic error prevention will require more robust study designs and rigorous definitions of diagnostic processes and outcomes to measure intervention effects.

A growing body of evidence identifies diagnostic error (missed, delayed or incorrect diagnosis) as an important patient safety issue.1–5 Although not all of these errors translate into harm and many go undetected, a substantial number are associated with preventable morbidity and mortality.6 7 Diagnostic errors affect every medical discipline and all types of patients. However, the focus on diagnostic errors has lagged behind the rest of the patient safety movement.8 9
Studies have begun to identify the root causes that contribute to diagnostic error.10–12 These causes include either one or more of the following: clinician cognitive factors, system factors and patient factors. Cognitive factors include perceptual and thought processes, which are in turn influenced by differences in clinician training and experience, predisposition to cognitive and affective biases, fatigue, stress, and a variety of other elements. System factors refer to organisational vulnerability to diagnostic error and may include faulty communication practices, inadequate coordination of care, inadequate supervision, poorly designed technology and work environment, reduced availability of resources or personnel, inadequate feedback, and a culture that does not necessarily promote effective learning from errors.10 Patient-related factors include variability in communication styles and practices, heterogeneity in patients' clinical presentation to providers, and differential access to personal health information.13
Reducing the likelihood of diagnostic errors and error-related harm is a critical priority. Recent insights about diagnostic error aetiology have stimulated ideas about potential solutions. However, to our knowledge, strategies to reduce diagnostic errors have not been compiled or comprehensively reviewed since the release of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report To Err is Human.14 We therefore conducted a literature review of articles published over the past decade to identify key interventions to reduce or prevent diagnostic errors. Our aim was to identify interventions that have been, or could be, implemented to address system-related factors that contribute directly to diagnostic errors. For the purposes of the review, we broadly categorised patient factors along with system factors. This paper examines system-related interventions, while a future companion paper reviews cognitive interventions (including decision support) to improve reliability of clinical reasoning.
We used multiple search strategies to identify candidate articles that describe interventions to prevent, reduce or mitigate diagnostic errors. Although many advances and interventions in healthcare may aim to improve diagnosis (eg, new diagnostic tests or screening methods), we focused specifically on system-level interventions to prevent or mitigate medical errors in the diagnostic process. To avoid searching potentially hundreds of thousands of indexed papers, we used more restrictive than inclusive strategies to select for diagnostic errors. Thus, we conducted a search of the PubMed database that combined the major medical subject headings (MeSHs) ‘Diagnostic Errors’ or ‘Delayed Diagnosis’ and one or more relevant MeSH terms and keywords to capture both system and cognitive interventions (see table 1 for complete list). We also focused our initial search on the time period after the release of the IOM report To Err is Human,14 2000–2009, to focus on more recent literature. We limited our search to English language publications that focused on humans and had abstracts that could be used for initial screening. This strategy yielded 949 articles.
We employed several secondary strategies to locate additional relevant articles for review. First, we manually reviewed the references of the articles we identified through PubMed as described above. Second, we used an internet-based search engine (Google) and searched topic-specific research databases (AHRQ's PSNet, PsycINFO, and the Air University Library Index to Military Periodicals) with a subset of search terms listed in table 1. Third, we identified additional recommended references from several authorities in the field of diagnostic error and decision-making sciences. Finally, we identified relevant articles released in 2010 after the cut-off date of the formal review but relevant to the topic. Together, these secondary search methods yielded an additional 160 articles.
Because the field is nascent and evolving, we also reviewed the literature for intervention concepts that have been suggested by expert commentators, usually based on studies examining the epidemiology or aetiology of these errors. Thus, we considered two broad classes of articles: ‘actual’ interventions that were tested to reduce error or harm in medical diagnostic settings; and ‘suggested’ interventions, that is, those that had not been tested. The latter category was included to help refine our search for tested interventions, inform the state of the science, and highlight potential areas of future research. Articles that tested actual interventions discussed measurable changes in patient behaviours or organisational services, processes, systems, structures or products to prevent or mitigate diagnostic error. We incorporated all study designs, including review papers in the case of suggested interventions.
We excluded studies that described inter-rater or observer variation in the absence of an intervention; validations of screening instruments or tests; single case reports; assessments limited to provider satisfaction, preference or acceptance of interventions; and techniques to enhance diagnosis involving screening instruments, specific tests or technologies (eg, a newer generation CT scan). We also excluded studies of the development of risk models and reports of diagnostic error frequency or aetiology.
Abstracts were reviewed by three health services researchers and categorised as ‘included’, ‘excluded’ or ‘unsure’. To improve reliability and consistency of categorisation, the three reviewers first independently reviewed 20 abstracts, compared categorisation and refined their categorisation criteria. Two physicians with expertise in diagnostic error research further validated the inclusion/exclusion process by reviewing a random sample of excluded articles, and all articles categorised as ‘unsure’ and ‘include’, a strategy that helped achieve better inter-rater agreement. Disagreements in categorisation were resolved by team consensus.
We extracted data using structured data collection forms. For the studies reporting actual interventions, we documented study design, content and duration of intervention, type of intervention subjects, scope of intervention or ‘reach’ (ie, by number of participants), outcome measures and intervention effectiveness. For suggested interventions, we documented the focus (disease, condition, etc) and methods for diagnostic error prevention. All data collection forms were checked for completeness. All team members, including expert physicians, participated in the review and interpretation of results.
Diagnosis is a multistep process that depends on the functioning of the provider, patient and health system. Accordingly, we categorised system-based interventions according to five previously described, interactive steps13 of the diagnostic process: the patient–provider encounter, which involves clinician decision-making and test/referral ordering based on details of patient presentation; performance and interpretation of diagnostic tests; follow-up and tracking of diagnostic information over time; subspecialty and referral-specific issues; and patient-related care-seeking and adherence processes. Several interventions were not specific to a particular step in the diagnostic process and were categorised as ‘general interventions’ (table 2).
We identified 43 articles on system-related interventions that met the criteria for full review. The majority of articles did not describe empirical studies, but rather provided suggestions for interventions based on the origins of diagnostic errors, observational research of system/patient factors, or promising results from studies of related topics (eg, patient satisfaction with test notification) (table 3). Six articles reported empirical outcomes of actual system interventions (table 4). These six studies were non-experimental or quasi-experimental and measured outcomes before and/or after an intervention among a small number of clinicians or healthcare sites. Measures of diagnostic error varied markedly between studies, depending on the setting and type of intervention and the diagnostic process involved. In the sections below, we summarise all of the 43 selected studies according to the five interactive steps of the diagnostic process.13
The patient–provider encounter
Two studies were related to diagnostic error during this step. In both studies, the goal of the intervention was to avoid delayed or missed diagnosis of traumatic injuries through changes in care processes. Perno et al15 described the implementation of a paediatric trauma response team, whereas Howard et al16 implemented a comprehensive re-evaluation of trauma patients within 24 h of admission. Both interventions produced positive results: implementing the paediatric response team significantly reduced delayed diagnosis of injury,15 and tertiary examination of trauma patients identified significantly more previously missed injuries.16
Diagnostic test performance and interpretation
One study tested an intervention to prevent diagnostic errors related to diagnostic test performance and interpretation. This trial, conducted in the emergency room setting, focused on the implementation of a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS), which electronically acquires, transfers and stores radiographical images.17 Using the PACS system improved diagnostic performance by reducing the overall misdiagnosis rate, although the rate of serious misdiagnosis did not change.
Follow-up and tracking
A number of papers focused on timely follow-up of test results, modes for follow-up, and outcomes. Of these, three described actual interventions: Singh et al24 examined the reliability of electronically communicating positive faecal occult blood test results in a system where over a third of results were not followed up. After identifying and correcting a software misconfiguration in the electronic health record (EHR) that prevented communication of test results to primary care providers, they found that timely follow-up increased significantly and was sustained at the fourth month following the intervention. Poon and colleagues designed Result Notification via Alphanumeric Pagers (ReNAP), an application that enables clinicians to indicate preferences for notification of patient-specific laboratory test results via an alphanumeric pager.25 ReNAP was well received, with 780 different clinicians using the feature within a 12-month period and usage averaging 2300 times per month. Piva and colleagues reported that a computerised test result notification system improved communication of critical laboratory values. Computerised notification was both faster (average of 11 min) and more successful (90% notification success rate within 1 h) compared with standard telephone notification only (average time of 30 min to notification, with less than 50% success within 1 h).26 Although these usage statistics implied an improvement in delivery of test results, in the latter two studies no actual data on follow-up of the delivered information was provided. Taken together, the studies illustrated the potential of technology and monitoring to improve transmission of important diagnostic information to clinicians, although no evidence of reduced diagnostic delays was provided.
Many articles suggested potential strategies to prevent test results from being lost to follow-up. Suggested system interventions included both processes to facilitate appropriate follow-up (eg, explicit communication policies for test results, highly structured hand-off procedures, and pre-planned follow-up for any diagnostic test) and structural changes such as use of electronic tracking systems and patient navigation programs.1 18 20–23 27 29 Hanna et al,19 for instance, described a broad intervention intended to facilitate improvement in communication of test results across multiple hospitals within Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Coalition for the Prevention of Medical Errors and the Massachusetts Hospital Association created a consensus group to identify the tests and the abnormal test results that should be considered critical and communicated in a timely manner, and the groups distributed this ‘starter set’ to hospitals statewide.
Although we did not find any tested interventions in this category, strategies to ensure availability of appropriate expertise have been suggested as interventions to reduce diagnostic error (eg, when there is no radiologist to read films overnight from the emergency room).29
The literature suggested several strategies to reduce error by better engaging and communicating with patients, although none of these were tested. Seven studies measured patient satisfaction and preferences with various methods of test result notification.31–37 Although not focused on diagnostic errors, two recently published literature reviews summarised the effectiveness and feasibility of patient engagement as a potential intervention for error prevention. Schwappach44 identified several key forces that promote patient engagement, including beliefs about self-efficacy, behavioural control, and the perceived ability to help prevent adverse incidents. Longtin et al45 concluded that, while patient engagement has been well documented in studies of decision-making and chronic disease management, patient participation in error prevention has not been explored. The authors provided a conceptual model of factors that influence patient participation in preventing errors.
Finally, other suggested interventions focused on improving patient education and communication between patients and providers to reduce errors. Two articles emphasised the need to anticipate patients' potentially faulty interpretations or reasoning during the diagnostic process.41 57 Another study suggested that better adherence to future care for abnormal Papanicolaou smears might result when adolescents visit a clinic prior to their follow-up colposcopy appointments.43 This literature demonstrates a need to consider the patient's perspective in designing interventions to reduce diagnostic errors.
General interventions (not specific to any step)
A number of articles suggested possible strategies to ameliorate ‘error-producing conditions’ that contribute to diagnostic error. Although we found no studies of actual interventions with these aims, many suggested interventions included structural and/or process changes to complement or improve providers' diagnostic performance. These included specific strategies such as second readings of key diagnostic tests, clinical decision support, and feedback to clinicians on their diagnosis (many of these will be discussed in detail in the companion paper),1 20 58 as well as general re-design of the working environment to produce better decision-making.59 Zwaan et al54 suggested methods to evaluate such interventions by measuring both the ‘suboptimal cognitive acts’ that could lead to diagnostic error (eg, not ordering a recommended test) and physicians' workload and fatigue at the time that they made the diagnosis.
Other publications suggested interventions to reduce diagnostic errors by learning from errors encountered locally. Schiff et al2 described the use of physician reports to identify and analyse diagnostic errors and suggested that organisations could identify potential preventive strategies through a similar process. Similarly, Colgan30 discussed the potential value in mandatory disclosure and review of all diagnostic errors encountered in a cohort of surgical and cytopathology cases. Articles also discussed the potential application of information systems to reduce diagnostic errors. Becich et al55 reviewed the opportunities for pathology informatics to enhance patient safety. Singh et al56 examined the range of potential communication breakdowns during the diagnostic process that can lead to error and identified opportunities for information technology to reduce these breakdowns. Finally, Schiff and Bates 22 focused on multiple ways in which EHRs can help in the prevention of diagnostic errors, provided they are designed and used appropriately.
Our literature review of system-related interventions to reduce diagnostic error published in the past decade yielded very few empirical outcome studies. Because system-based interventions are favoured by many as the preferred approach for addressing diagnostic error, the results of our review are rather surprising.14 Our findings highlight a large gap between suggested interventions and those that have been operationalised and evaluated empirically. Many interventions suggested were already close to implementation, if not already underway, but lacked data to support their effectiveness in reducing diagnostic error. For instance, system-based interventions based on EHRs and health information technology have received a great deal of attention, but compelling studies are relatively few. Nevertheless, a handful of system interventions that were tested (eg, an electronic system to acquire, transfer and store radiographic images17 and process-of-care changes in emergency settings) demonstrated some degree of effectiveness in reducing diagnostic error.15 16 Interventions to promote more ‘patient-centred’ care (eg, empowering patients in their diagnostic process) represent another concept which, though broadly accepted, has not been tested as a means of reducing error.
Although patients constitute an important and largely neglected resource for improving outcomes related to diagnostic error, no empirical study found during our review examined the direct effect of patient-related interventions. For example, directly notifying patients of abnormal test results has been suggested as a reliable back-up process to help ensure that important results are not missed, but this has not been formally evaluated. An interesting example of how patients can be engaged in this context is the now mandatory reporting of all mammography reports directly to the patient.60
Our review has several implications for future interventions to reduce diagnostic error. Despite the high volume of care delivered in the primary care setting, few intervention studies directly addressed the primary care work system. The dearth of such studies was surprising because several intervention ideas for the primary care setting had been well conceptualised in the literature. These promising but as-yet untested strategies include improving follow-up and tracking of abnormal or critical test results, improving hand-off processes, systematic tracking of diagnostic errors and implementing rapid patient follow-up on certain high-risk initial diagnoses. Many of these are ripe for testing and implementation.
Advances in other areas of patient safety over the past decade have not been systematically applied to the science of diagnostic error reduction. In particular, one area we found to be largely absent from the literature was the science of human factors.61 To reduce mismatches between system-based interventions and the capabilities of providers and patients who interact with them, human factor principles should be applied to the design and development of future interventions. For instance, rapid prototyping techniques could be used to identify awkward and confusing interfaces, while testing the interventions in simulated or actual clinical settings might help identify unintended consequences.62 63 Better designs could help ensure that once an error occurs, it does not cascade through the entire multi-stage diagnostic process. Design of other health IT-based applications could also benefit from these same principles. For example, EHR-based intervention design must take into account the technology (software, hardware, content of data, information and knowledge, user interface) and the workflow in which it will be implemented, the people who use and implement it, the organisation in which it will be implemented, and the external legal and regulatory influences in play.64 Taking into account this interactive ‘socio-technical’ perspective will allow development of concomitant strategies to build resilience into the EHR work system and mitigate harm, if it occurs.65 Thus, the fields of cognitive science, informatics, human factors and engineering must come together to design some of these health IT interventions.
Testing and implementation of interventions other than IT to reduce diagnostic error in real-world practice will also need to take into account contextual factors that might affect their success.66 Factors such as policies and procedures, safety culture, organisational and teamwork-related factors could have a substantial impact on the effectiveness of systems-based interventions to reduce diagnostic errors. For example, implementing and testing a diagnostic error reporting system for physicians requires significant institutional commitment,67 and this might not be possible to obtain in many institutions. Recent evidence suggests that most of these contextual factors are generally not reported.66 Measurement and analysis of contextual factors that affect testing or implementation of interventions might be challenging, but it would provide others with useful information for applying these interventions to their own settings.66
Our review also highlights some of the main challenges in designing future interventions and studies to measure their impact. First, because of the multifaceted nature of these errors, and the fact that there are many other complex variables involved, the actual intervention effect might be difficult to demonstrate. Second, the impact of interventions on improving patient safety might be difficult to estimate because most studies did not specifically link errors or outcomes (such as delays) to adverse events. Although some robust methods to capture specific aspects of diagnostic errors, such as timeliness of diagnosis, have been used, these ‘process measures’ might not always link to reliable clinical outcomes. The few studies that did measure outcomes in terms of an actual diagnostic error rate focused on very specific clinical scenarios (eg, missed trauma injuries), measurement of which does not generalise broadly across care settings or disease conditions.15 16 In general, measurement science (definitions and rigorous process/outcome measures) in this area remains underdeveloped. Third, observational studies were most commonly used to measure outcomes before and after an intervention, with a small number of clinicians or healthcare sites, without a control group. Controlled study designs are desirable, but not always called for or practical. Fourth, although we categorised interventions in one of five process steps to account for system-related diagnostic processes, design and implementation of interventions to reduce diagnostic errors in real-world practice should also account for potential interaction between two or more of these steps.68 As evident in several studies that we could not categorise (general category), it is not always possible to categorise interventions according to these steps.
Our review had several limitations. Although distinguishing system-related from cognitive interventions facilitates understanding of diagnostic errors and discussion of possible interventions, we acknowledge that most diagnostic errors involve complex etiologies that are related to both system and cognitive performance.69 We could not delineate how the system-based interventions impacted providers' cognitive and perceptual capabilities. System-based interventions to facilitate clinical decision-making (eg, implementation of electronic clinical decision support systems) fall into this category and will be discussed in detail in the companion paper. We also used restrictive search criteria to identify literature specific to diagnostic errors or delays. As a result, we likely missed several key papers, especially when interventions were suggested in contexts that were not directly related to diagnostic error. Lastly, we focused largely on studies after the year 2000 in an attempt to capture progress made in the field in the past decade, but in doing so may have excluded earlier important work from our review.
In conclusion, our review summarises the state of the science in the design of future interventions to reduce diagnostic errors in healthcare. In light of the gaps in knowledge demonstrated in the recent literature, we believe that future studies should be multifaceted, focus on real-world clinical practice, and aim to measure the direct effects of interventions on rates of errors in diagnosis. Advancing the science of diagnostic error prevention will require more robust study designs and rigorous definitions of diagnostic processes and outcomes to measure intervention effects.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) applied to Mechanical Engineering
Keywords:Sustainable Development Goals, Mechanical Engineering, Indicators
In 2015, the United Nations approved the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development, an opportunity for countries and their societies to face the challenge of successfully addressing the transition to a more sustainable future for people and the planet, leaving no one behind. The agenda defines a total of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of universal application to promote economic growth, a commitment to social needs and the protection of the environment. For the successful achievement the ambitious and demanding SDGs, individuals, businesses, governments, and higher education institutions should work collaboratively.
This paper aims to contribute to the implementation of the SDGs in the mechanical engineering subjects, and to define appropriate indicators and validation processes to assess their level of fulfillment as established in the 2030 Agenda. As a result, better decisions can be made regarding the efforts that universities - including students, academics and researchers and professional services staff - must invest to incorporate the SDGs into their initiatives, structures, and policies.

Day 8: It was a cold cold night when the cephalopod crawled to our city!
One thing I will say about using a ball point pen to do the art is that it leaves indentions on the other side and on the paper behind it. Fortunately, you can't really see once it is scanned. I hope everyone is having a great day. Challenging myself to draw something everyday is really stretching me. I'm enjoying it. | <urn:uuid:2639caea-b56e-451c-a956-34983f2235d4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://www.abedraws.com/2012/05/day-8-it-was-cold-cold-night-when.html | 2022-10-02T07:46:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337287.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002052710-20221002082710-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.986684 | 93 | [

Tidy Towns groups across Limerick are being invited to register for the first in-person seminar to take place in nearly three years. The event, which is being organised by Limerick City and County Council, will take place at the Woodlands House Hotel in Adare on Wednesday, February 16.
There is an excellent programme of guest speakers including representatives from Ireland’s Tidiest Small Town, Abbeyleix Co Laois (category C) and Blackrock, County Louth (category D) along with Senior Tidy Towns Adjudicator Anne O’Leary who is a former town planner with four decades of involvement in Tidy Towns.
Groups at all stages of their Tidy Towns journey whether they are new to the competition or seasoned competitors are all encouraged to attend the free event.
Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Daniel Butler, said: “Communities have shown such resilience and strength throughout the restrictions, that now is their time to shine. Throughout lockdown Tidy Towns volunteers continued to work hard in the communities and they must be commended for this.”
“Now it’s great for Limerick’s Tidy Towns groups to be able to network at an in-person event. Tidy Towns volunteers continue to make an enormous contribution to civic life in Limerick and the seminar is just one way that the Council can support them with their volunteer work.

The Dolly Llamas started a song to fill the silence.
Rudy watched Lili exit into the Key West evening. He pulled his chair into the widening space developing around Carter. If their years of friendship had done nothing else, they’d hardened him to public scrutiny.
“That’s right,” Carter said to the last citizens defecting from his dissolving empire. “Go.”
“I’ll give you one thing,” Rudy said. “You were right about the action building more quickly here than at the Hog’s Breath.”
“Just goes to show, you can’t put a square cock in a round cunt.”
“What does that even mean?”
“You heard me.”
Kak sat down. “That was quite a display,” she said. “Why did you stop there?”
It took a lot to alter Carter’s state in any noticeable way. It always had. The alcohol thinning his bloodstream finally began to thicken his speech. “You are referring,” he said, “to my recent interaction with a certain Santeria priestess?”
“Someone should go after her,” Kak said.
Carter shook this off. “That’s the last thing anyone should do.”
“You’re not afraid she’ll do something?”
“I don’t know. Cast a spell to make your dick fall off?”
Carter poured another shot of champagne. “A little,” he said. “And I’d deserve it. I never said I wasn’t an asshole.”
“We can get that put on a shirt for you,” Kak said. “So people see you coming.”
This perked him up. “Like a disclaimer,” he said. “Keep your hands inside the ride at all times.” He grabbed Rudy by the wrist. “You believe me, right? I thought she fucked ‘em.”
“Please stop saying that,” Kak said.
“Don’t get righteous,” Carter said, releasing Rudy. “She was smart. She was on her way out. You fucked it up by telling her to stay.”
“I was waiting for anger to kick in,” Kak said.
“I guess that goes on your shirt.”
“I guess it does.”
Carter blew into his cupped hand and shook it like a high roller at a craps table, casting the imaginary dice across the table. “You really bought into the mumbo jumbo with the seashells,” he said.
This finally made sense to Rudy. “You got a reading from Lili?” he asked. “So that’s how you knew her.”
Kak looked caught in the headlights.
“Lili let me in on it,” Carter said. “Right before she dumped the baby shit on me.”
Rudy leaned over to Kak. “Why?” he asked. “What did you want to know?”
“Nothing. I was just curious.”
“What did she tell you?”
“Seashells,” Carter said. “I can get you the same result with a fifth of gin and a Magic 8 Ball.”
“Maybe,” Kak said.
“She give you the shiner?” Carter asked.
“I did that.”
“No one can hurt you like you can hurt yourself.”
“I don’t know. You hurt her very badly just now.”
Carter downed the bottle and reached for another. It left a ring of condensation on the table. He smeared it with his hand.
“Fuck you guys,” he said. “I’m going home.” He got up, lumbering out into the thickening foot traffic on the darkening street, the bottle dangling at his side. No one stopped him.
“You didn’t help her at all,” Kak said, raising her hand at the passing waitress. “Didn’t even try.”
Why should I? That was the question. What came out was, “Maybe you’ve had enough to drink.”
“Maybe you should kiss my ass,” she shot back. The letters in her words smudging like wet newsprint.
“This arrangement might work better,” he said, “if I knew what you wanted.”
“What I want,” she said, rising unsteadily, backing into a woman walking past, “is to dance.”
The woman spun around. “What’s your problem?”
“I’m glad you asked,” Kak said. “I think Thomas Merton said it best. Life can only be understood backwards. But it must be lived forwards.” She puzzled a second. “Or was it Kierkegaard?”
“Idiot,” the woman said, moving on.
Kak gave her the finger before giving up the gesture to lay her hands on the table and steady herself. “She’s right, though. I’m so full of shit. You shouldn’t believe anything I say.”
“I don’t.” “Good. Are you dancing?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“You just said I shouldn’t believe you.”
Kak let her head fall back loosely, like a ragdoll. The effect of the sudden move compromised her equilibrium, made her take a small step back to regain it. It seemed to please her. “I said don’t believe anything I say. Didn’t say don’t listen to anything I say. Caveat audiens. Let the listener beware.”
“Why do I think Lili knows more than I do now?” Rudy asked.
Kak leaned against the table and dug in the pocket of her shorts. With some effort she brought out a small conch shell and handed it to him.
“Hold Evelyn for me,” Kak said. “She’s still shook up from the bike wreck.”
He squinted into the shell’s aperture. A purple claw blocked the entrance. “There’s something inside.”
“That’s Evelyn. The crab, not the human. Stop scaring her.”
“You had a hermit crab in your pocket this whole time?”
“Rescued from her hardscrabble existence at the foot of a tyrant. Named appropriately.”
“I guess you can explain that later. Like everything else.” He slipped the shell into his pocket.
“We were so close,” Kak said.
“You and the crab?”
“No, silly. To anger. Never mind. I just want to get drunk and forget.”
“You’re drunk already.”
“Then I want to get drunker,” she snapped. “And forgetter.”
“Okay, okay. What was it you were going to tell me?”
“That it’s time to dance.” She lurched toward the bandstand.
Maybe she had it right. If there was ever a time to get drunker and forgetter, this was it. He went to the bar, ordered a mezcal and a beer, drank them, and ordered again. He leaned against the bar, taking stock of his surroundings. Wall to wall happiness. Not a care in the place. What business did he have in a happy place among happy people?
A young woman tugged at his sleeve and blurted something he couldn’t make out. She moved around in front of him. It was the same woman Kak bumped getting up, the one who asked her what her problem was. She tugged at him as she pointed toward the bandstand. Judging by her urgency, a great injustice was occurring, or so she believed.
He didn’t want to see this annoying woman. Didn’t want to hear her. He wanted to watch Kak dance, her plastic cup swinging with her hips as she moved in careless rhythm to the quickening beat.
The woman clutched at him. He wanted to swat her away but it might interrupt his watching. She thrust her lips close to his ear.
“Hey,” she yelled. “Your friend.”
Kak found him from across the room. She lit up and she waved him over. She swayed and dipped, jostling through other merry makers, bouncing off unsuspecting revelers. Beautiful.
He’d had too much to drink to risk dancing. He waved back, soaking up the sight of her, resisting the woman twisting at his collar. She pulled herself up close to his ear again.
“Hey,” she yelled, louder this time, above the clash and chaos. “Your friend.”
He ignored her. There was only Kak, dancing the way sirens must have danced on the rocks for passing sailors. Mesmerizing. Irresistible.
The woman jerked at him so violently that she opened a small rip in his shirt collar. He let her pull his head down even with hers, where she sighted down her extended arm as if it was a gun barrel. Her index finger trained on Kak.
“Your friend,” the woman yelled in his ear. “Your friend is spilling her beer.”

Kids with learning and attention difficulties will have a hard time trying to learn about security and safety issues. Just as you’ll want to look for a Philadelphia locksmith to keep up with the safety of your home, there are some things that you can instill in your children which will ensure they’re safe at all times even if you’re not around to look after them.
Not Opening the Door For Strangers
You should teach your kids never to open the door for strangers. As much as you want them to be social, it is hard to trust any person that could show up at your door. You should also teach your kids not to talk to strangers outdoors when you’re not around to look out for them.
Installing Door Viewers
Door viewers should be at your children’s eye level. They get to see who’s at the door when there is no one else around. You shouldn’t worry about replacing the door since this can be installed easily for your child’ safety.
You should discourage your children about bragging about family purchases. This is something that is common among children. It could be a new flat-screen TV, refrigerator, or phones. Burglars could overhear the conversation and it will be easy for them to know what’s in your house.
Teaching Them To Secure Locks
You should teach your children to secure all the locks in the house. You can have them go through mock drills where they secure both the locks and alarm in the house. They need to understand the importance of such habits because it will be crucial for their safety, as well as knowing emergency buttons or phone numbers.
Create a Security Room
There should be an isolated room that has extra deadbolts in case of forced entry in your home. You children should be made aware of the security drill to follow in case of such an event. The children need to know how to find their way to the security room in case of an emergency.
Cell Phones for Emergencies
Your kids should have a phone for an emergency so that they can call for help even if you’re cut off from your end. Make sure they’re aware of the emergency numbers to call and the circumstances that they’re allowed to do so. The children should have the contacts for the fire department because they’re usually faster to respond compared to the police. They should also have a list of any family contacts so that they can know who to call in case they experience a challenge that they can’t handle.
Kids need to be taught not to talk to strangers on the phone unless it is a family or friend. It is better to take a proactive approach so your kids will always know what should be done in case their security and safety is threatened even when you’re not around.

Bible Study with Jairus – Numbers 21
Numbers 21 tells the story of Israel getting back to the starting point after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years. Forty years ago, they sent twelve spies into the Promised Land. In the end, ten were evil spies. They saw that the Canaanites were of great height, so they became frightened and forgot about God’s promise of bringing them into the Promised Land. God, in His wrath, let them wander in the wilderness for forty years corresponding to the 40 days they spied out the land (Numbers 13).
We often say that the wandering of the Israelites in the wilderness represents the wandering of Christians in their soul. Egypt represents the world that the Israelites and Christians leave behind when they make their faith commitment to follow Christ. The Promised Land represents our entry into the abundant life and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. The Canaanites represent the enemies occupying and preventing the Israelites from entering the Promised Land. When talking about a Christian’s spiritual experience, the Canaanites are a representation of evil spirits and the various strongholds we may face.
If we want to receive the spiritually abundant life God has for us, we must defeat the enemies who are hindering us. God can easily defeat His enemies. But to train us, God needs us to defeat them. God’s destiny for us Christians is to enter the abundance of life and the experience of spiritual victory. This is just like the entry of the Israelites into the Promised Land in the Old Testament—this was God’s destiny for them. But does this mean everything will go smoothly if something is God’s destiny for us? No. Often the enemy will do everything possible to hinder the good things God has ordained for us. Therefore, heeding the words of God’s prophecies and promises, and defeating enemies in battles should be our attitude.
If we cannot defeat the enemy, we will continue wandering in the wilderness. What is the wilderness experience? The wilderness experience is when you cannot go back to Egypt, nor can you enter the Promised Land. In today’s Christian experience, it represents a period of struggle where one has not yet experienced spiritual victory in areas of their lives after being saved.
Our enemy is very large. We cannot defeat the enemy by ourselves. Therefore, faith is extremely important. God hopes that in our process, we do not look at the size of the enemy and the difficulties of our situation, but instead think of His promise that we will be victorious and that He is with us. Basically, we defeat the enemy through faith. God’s purpose is not only for us to defeat the enemy, but that our faith in Him would increase in the process. In other words, God is using the circumstances and battles to increase our faith and to teach us how to better understand His greatness.
The first generation of Israelites completely failed. After seeing the height of the enemy, they utterly forgot God’s promise. They wandered in the wilderness for forty years. Wandering in the wilderness also represents God’s discipline. God will bring us into the wilderness experience to discipline us so that we can mature. There, He will also provide us with heavenly food, such as manna, so that our strength and faith may increase. Gradually, we gain the strength to fight the enemy.
At the beginning of Numbers 21, the Israelites learned their lesson and grew in faith in God after forty years of discipline. Verses 1-3 (ESV) state, “When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negeb, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, he fought against Israel, and took some of them captive. And Israel vowed to the Lord and said, “If you will indeed give this people into my hand, then I will devote their cities to destruction.” And the Lord heeded the voice of Israel and gave over the Canaanites, and they devoted them and their cities to destruction. So the name of the place was called Hormah.”
These verses included the first generation—Moses, Caleb, and Joshua (Miriam and Aaron already died in Numbers 20), and the second generation of Israelites. Their attitude changed from one generation to the next. The second generation was no longer afraid. Instead, they entreated the Lord that if He delivers them into their hands, they will destroy the Canaanite’s cities. In other words, they asked God to help them win this battle and then they would destroy the Canaanites. Because the Canaanites’ measure of sin had reached its full measure according to God, they prayed according to God’s will. This was a huge spiritual advancement for the second generation of the Israelites. God also has a promise for us to defeat our enemies. Remember though, faith plays a significant role in their defeat. If we have faith in God, anything is possible.
Unfortunately, the Israelite’s victory this time, although it was an improvement, did not last long. Verses 4-5 record that the Israelites set off from Mount Hor and walked along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. As mentioned in the previous chapter, Moses asked the king of Edom to pass through his territory, attempting to find a shortcut. The king of Edom firmly refused and was even willing to fight against the Israelites. Thankfully, God ordained that the Israelites would not fight with the Edomites. Instead, they had to make a detour by the way of the Red Sea, which is the direction toward Egypt. At this point, it seemed that going south would bring them back to where they started, so the Israelites became impatient. They spoke against God and Moses, accusing them of leading the Israelites to die in the wilderness. They also complained that there was no food or water, and they were already tired of the manna. The Lord responded by sending fiery serpents among them. They bit the people, and many died. After God’s discipline this time, the Israelites repented and asked Moses to pray and ask God to take away the serpents. God did not take away the fiery serpents. Instead, he instructed Moses to make a bronze serpent, and those who looked at it would live.
One interesting point to note here is that the Israelites prayed that God would take away the fiery serpents, but the Bible does not record that God would take them away. Instead, it says that God prepared a bronze serpent. For us, the fiery serpent represents both the difficulties of our situations and God’s discipline. While the “fire” may still be present, God has prepared salvation for us, which is represented by the bronze serpent. If we look at it (the bronze serpent), we will surely live. John 3:14-15 (ESV) says, “As Moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him will have eternal life.” Our world is full of suffering. Although the suffering has not been removed, we can look to Christ who has been crucified on our behalf. This experience taught the second generation of Israelites to learn to look only at the salvation God prepares and not at the lack in their circumstances. Their experience taught them how to have faith.
We will become whatever we behold. The more we look at our suffering, the more we will be frightened; the more we look at our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the salvation He provides, the more our faith grows to trust Him and we are saved. The Lord Jesus himself said, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” (ESV, John 16:33) Paul also said, “We all, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” (ESV, 2 Corinthians 3:18)
A lady in our Bible study experienced some trials and tribulations. This day in particular, she received a revelation from the Father. She knew the story of the testing of the Israelites was the Holy Spirit’s timely words for her situation to bring comfort to her heart. Although she experienced some trials of physical illness, God had already given her His Word, telling her she would be healed. Unfortunately, setbacks in her process still left her discouraged. She asked God, “Why is it like this?” When I shared about the Israelites, I mentioned that not only does God want to heal her body, but He also wants to strengthen her faith through these trials so that He can use her in the future. She testified that many people had said the same thing to her. Therefore, she was willing to continue to lean upon God’s promises and look to the healing that He offered through the cross instead of paying too much attention to her difficult circumstances.
After the story of bronze serpent, the Israelites move forward on their journey, passing through many more places. Verse 16 specifically mentions a place called Beer. Many people are not sure about its location, but it is recorded that this place is the well of which the Lord say to Moses, “Gather the people together, so that I may give them water” (ESV, Numbers 21:16). This raises some questions. Is this the place where Moses struck the rock for the first time? No, that was in the Wilderness of Sin (Exodus 17:7). Is it referring to the second time Moses struck the rock twice by mistake? No, this was in the Wilderness of Zin in Kadesh (Numbers 20:1), so it could not have been this place either. It must be referring to another time when God spoke to Moses.
Water often represents the Holy Spirit in the Bible. Let’s review God’s supply of the water in these chapters. The first time God supplied water was when Moses struck the rock to produce water. The second time was when God asked Moses to speak to the rock so that water would pour out. (Moses instead struck the rock twice.) The third time refers to when the leaders of the Israelites and the nobles of the people dug a well with the scepter and their staffs. Now, the first strike on the rock represents the work done by Christ on the cross so that we can have the Holy Spirit; speaking to the rock (the second time) represents receiving the Holy Spirit by faith; and digging the well (the third time) represents our cooperation with God and an experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit. These three examples represent three stages of our Christian life. We must remember that Christ accomplished everything so we can receive the Holy Spirit. While it is Christ’s work alone that saves, we must apply faith to receive the Holy Spirit to obtain life and power to overcome. Lastly, as we overcome our flesh and sins, the Holy Spirit can have preeminence in our life and ministry.
I once received an explanation from the Local Church Movement about the water flowing out of the well, and it left a deep impression on me. That is, the well is like the Holy Spirit. The living water is already in us, but the living water in our well may be stopped up by mud and stones. The mud and stones symbolize the sins of the world, our flesh, etc., and we must dig them out with the scepter and staff to remove them.
Just like the picture in the Garden of Eden in Genesis, there will only be food if Adam cultivates the ground. Adam did his part and he trusted God to supply the water (mist) necessary for the ground to yield a harvest. Similarly, Christ has already accomplished salvation on the cross. While the Holy Spirit already lives in us, our well of water may be blocked by all kinds of filth. If we are willing to dedicate ourselves and deal with the sins and filth within us, the living water will more easily flow out. On one hand, the flow of living water is entirely the work of Christ and the Holy Spirit; on the other hand, our cooperation is extremely important.
Verses 21-32 record the story of Moses’ victory over Sihon, the king of the Amorites. Just like last time when they were passing through Edom, Moses also asked Sihon to let the Israelites pass through their territory. Moses again promised that they would not enter their fields and vineyards, nor would they drink water from their wells. They would just go by the King’s Highway. However, Sihon refused to allow them to pass through his territory. He even gathered people to attack the Israelites. Strangely, it is not recorded that the Israelites prayed to the Lord before killing Sihon. But later in verses 33-35, when the Israelites fought Og, the king of Bashan, the Lord told Moses that he would give King Og of Bashan into their hands, just as he gave Sihon to them.
The Bible specifically records that King Sihon once fought against the king of Moab and took a lot of his land. A poem was recorded to describe this situation. It mentions in verse 24 that the Israelites continued to attack the Amorites until they reached Ammon because the border of the Ammonites was fortified. The original meanings of Ammon and Moab are “born from relatives” (Ammon) and “born from the father” (Moab). They are both descendants of the incest between Lot and his daughters. Let’s recall that because of Abraham’s intercession, God saved Lot. 2 Peter 2:7 (NIV) refers to Lot as “a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless.” Now, although the Moabites and Ammonites represent our flesh, they are still the descendants of Lot whom God loves. God loved the Moabites and Ammonites.
Imagine that Moses and the Israelites are examples of our spirit man. Sihon and Og represent the evil spirits and strongholds in our lives. What then are the Ammonites and Moabites? Of course, they represent our flesh. How can evil spirits control us? They do so mostly through our agreement with them in the flesh. Now, think about Paul’s experience in Romans 7 and 8. Why did he exclaim that he was a “wretched man” (Romans 7:24)? Because in his mind, he wanted to be a slave of the law of God; but in his flesh, he was a slave of the law of sin (Romans 7:25). In our story, the law of sin is the work of Satan and his evil spirits—Sihon and Og.
When we try to fight spiritual things like evil spirits, our flesh loses because it cannot sustain such a battle. The same is usually true for those who want to overcome their failures or sins—they often fail because the power of the sin is stronger than one’s will to overcome. This is illustrated well in Romans 7 by Paul. The battle between Moab and Sihon is a picture of this. The Moabites, who represent the flesh, will never win the battle against Sihon, who represents evil spirits. We need the help of our regenerated spirit man to save our flesh, just as the Moabites needed help from Moses to escape the tyranny of Sihon. It is not coincidence that God records the battle between Sihon and Moab here. It has significant meaning. One of God’s plans was to liberate Moab. Moses and the Israelites were God’s tools to liberate the Moabites from Sihon. In the end, Moses’ victory over Sihon and Og can represent the defeating or casting out of evil spirits from our lives.
The next chapter, Numbers 22, tells the story of the king of Moab employing the Gentile prophet Balaam to curse the Israelites. But in Deuteronomy, God ordered Moses not to contend with the Edomites, the descendant of Esau (Deuteronomy 2:4-8), not to harass the Moabites (Deuteronomy 2:9), and not to contend with the Ammonites (Deuteronomy 2:19). Yet, the Moabites in Numbers 22 hired Balaam to curse the Israelites, similar to how the king of Edom in the previous chapter attacked the Israelites (which led to God’s judgment). The Moabites also incurred God’s judgment. Remember, the Moabites and the Edomites are relatives of the Israelites, but descendants of Lot and Esau respectively. They represent the flesh of Christians. The flesh is part of us. Although it’s not an evil spirit, the untrained flesh can and will cooperate with evil spirits to hinder the work of the Spirit of God in us.
When I took deliverance courses, I learned that evil spirits are to be cast out through deliverance. The flesh, since it is not an evil spirit, must be dealt with by the cross since your flesh can’t be cast out. One particular teacher clearly taught this because he discovered that there is a commonality among charismatic churches—they accept deliverance ministries more than evangelical churches, but they tend to go to the extreme. That is, they think that after experiencing deliverance, everything will be fine. The work of the cross is not emphasized enough. This teacher, therefore, emphasized that although we should accept deliverance ministries, we must also realize that our flesh must be continuously submitted to the cross. Just as charismatic churches may tend to deemphasize the work of submitting our flesh to the Spirit, some churches only emphasize dealing with the flesh and they do not recognize the necessity for deliverance ministries. The Bible teaches that these are two different things, both of which need to be taught in churches.
In the end, we learn from this chapter that God’s intention towards the Amorites (representing evil spirits) was to exterminate them. His plan regarding Edom and Moab (which represent the flesh) was to take the Israelites on a detour and deal with them slowly as would be the Christian’s journey of training the flesh. The judgment on Edom and Moab later recorded in the Old Testament proved that they were dealt with in this way. The Book of Amos records the judgment on Edom, Ammon, and Moab. Amos 1:11 (ESV) records the judgment on Edom as, “Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity, and his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.” Amos 1:13 (ESV) records the judgment of the Ammonites: “Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.” Finally, Amos 2:1 (ESV) records the judgment of Moab. It says, “Thus says the Lord: ‘For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment because he burned to lime [ashes] the bones of the king of Edom.’” Right after these verses, the judgment on Judah and Israel was recorded. Although they were also disciplined, they were not exterminated. This is the difference between dealing with evil spirits and dealing with the flesh.
We will discuss further how God dealt with Moab in our next chapter of study on Numbers 22. We conclude with a summary of what we learned today. God wanted the Israelites to pass through the land of Moab to bless the Moabites, but Moab did not receive their blessing. God even spoke to Moab through the Gentile prophet Balaam that the Israelites are blessed because Christ would be born from their lineage to bless nations, including them. However, Moab insisted on cursing the Israelites and they eventually lost their opportunity to receive God’s blessing. Please make sure to check out our Bible study on Numbers 22 to find out more. There, we shared more about the Moabites and how we can learn from their experiences today. | <urn:uuid:90b92cc1-d53b-47f9-8ac9-48c1c896710b> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://jbwm.org/bible-study-with-jairus-numbers-21/ | 2022-10-03T14:40:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337421.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003133425-20221003163425-00077.warc.gz | en | 0.969698 | 4,294 | [

With many businesses still closed due to the pandemic, the May 17th class is “on hold” for now. If things open up in the next week or so, I will be checking with Icarus to see how they are proceeding. I will keep everyone informed as to when my Zentangle classes will start up again. I’m anxious to get back to the monthly class as I’m missing my Zentangle friends.
With still so much free time, my stack of tiles continues to grow. I did participate in Zentangle’s Project Pack #9 which was fun with lots of spring-like patterns and colored pens. I also found a stack of pre-strung Zendala tiles that I’ve used up. I have a box that I’ve stashed everything in and will call it my “quarantine box” – something to remember this weird time of our lives.
Hope you’ve all been busy and taking time for some tangling – again, we can share all our collections when we do get back together again. In the meantime, if you have any questions, or need supplies or ideas of any kind, please contact me. I’ve got lots to share here at my home! Stay well friends!

Open Tuesdays to Sundays from 10am-5pm
Come and experience the work of 37 artists working in painting, photography, sculpture, installation and film in the UK’s most exciting touring exhibition of contemporary art.
British Art Show is a landmark touring exhibition that celebrates the vitality of recent art made in Britain. British Art Show 9 explores three important themes – healing, care and reparative history; tactics for togetherness; and imagining new futures.
In Plymouth, the exhibition will be centred on the migration of bodies, peoples, plants, objects, ideas and forms; taking inspiration from and referencing the role it's played in Britain’s colonial past, as well as the encounters between British and other cultures that have and continue to enrich our society.
The selected artists will present their work across four different venues: The Box, KARST, The Levinsky Gallery at the University of Plymouth and MIRROR at the Arts University Plymouth. Alongside their film, photography, multimedia, painting, sculpture and performance works there will also be a film programme featuring a selection of artist films, gallery talks, special events and outreach activities across the city.
British Art Show 9 is a Hayward Gallery Touring exhibition presented in collaboration with the cities of Aberdeen, Wolverhampton, Manchester and Plymouth. Curated by Irene Aristizábal and Hammad Nasar.

I have a fairly simple set up. 5 offices and about 17 seats/phones. I gave them a very detailed PowerPoint on how I wanted everything set up. They did not follow my direction. The phones are spotty and we have to reboot regularly. I am having all sorts of issues making changes. Had a support rep ask me how I was able to get my cell phone mirror the incoming calls. He should have know that. Clearly he does not know how the system works so wasted my time. They were very responsive until I signed the contract and went live. They also ported my numbers without authorization and had to reverse it and blamed the other carrier for the issue. Very unprofessional. Now that the contract has been signed and numbers ported I am told that I have to go through the support center to get support. I guy I was working with to initially get set up is no longer available to me. Take my advice, do not use this company. It has been a terrible experience. i will be switching as soon as my contract expires.
I was so excited about the transition from AT&T landline service to Broadvoice Voip. The ability to have the Broadvoice app on my smartphone for receiving and making business calls from our business number while on the go was compelling for me. The features potential is great if those features actually worked reliably. However, after using the service for about a year now I have encountered constant glitches, shortcomings, lack of app development, spotty connectivity and absolutely atrocious support. I typically wait days if not weeks for responses from tech support and when I do get a response they often give me instructions that do not even correlate to their own app as if they are not familiar with the actual settings options available in the interface, forcing me to figure it out for myself. The app has not been working on the iPhone for months now and they have no proactive plan, timeline or response about getting it fixed. They simply keep telling me it’s a conflict as of now with T-Mobile and there is not further information. They ask me sometimes questions about how to update iPhone apps. The lack of care and response from tech support and the ridiculously long wait times to get anyone to respond at all are so unprofessional it’s somewhat staggering. The message that comes through loud and clear is “we don’t care, deal with it”. Not happy at all. Will definitely be looking for a different solution when my contract is up. It is disappointing to sign contracts with companies who display no integrity in their business practices coupled with complete disregard for quality of service and the opposite of customer support.
I have been a user since 2006 mainly because of their international plan which includes my home country. Even though the plan is called Unlimited World and advertises as unlimited calling, last month they just notified me that they were switching my contract to the domestic plan. No more free international calls for us. The email said:”Our system has detected an unusually high amount of international usage on your account. Your account has been switched to a domestic plan which will require you to pay for future international calls.”I should point out that our usage was not unusually high, meaning we were not making more calls than before.On the call with customer service department they mentioned the words, excessive, abuse and limits, for an “unlimited” plan. They also mentioned that our country of destination was losing them money and that we were not the only customers that were being switched. The call rep blamed upper management for the decision.I would like to point out that this happened without prior warning or without any limits being specified in written or oral form. Their web page has a section on “5.9 Reasonable Use Policy” that mentions 4000 minutes:”Broadvoice may determine that abnormal or unreasonable usage is occurring, and may charge an overage fee of $0.02 per minute over 4000 minutes, or take appropriate steps to enforce this Policy and the Terms of Service (“Broadvoice’s Rights”) including suspension or cancellation of service.”Our usage was lower than 3000 minutes nowhere near the 4000 minutes.To sum up:- False advertising- Violating their own Terms & Conditions- Changing plans without prior warnings.So beware
BroadVoice made a bad first impression when I called, being interested in their SIP Trunking services. Its been almost 2 years and I don’t regret any minute of being in business with them. First class features and price is very affordable. I was up and ready for callers 3 days after that first call with them. Been happy ever since.
Simple and reliable business service. Very friendly staff. Nothing but good things to say about this company. Makes my daily conferences with remote teams so much smoother.
Voip.com provides a good service that is the least expensive out of the other provider I switched from. Provides basic calling services with some key features. Customer support seems thorough on their products and whats included. Haven’t experienced any issues. If your trying to keep your business place simple then this is the provider for you.
It’s been several months now that I get less than mediocre service. I have called countless times, but I still experience the same problem. Very, very often I can’t make phone calls from either of the two devices I pay for regularly and on time. am not getting the service I deserve and am paying for. This is disrespectful and a tremendous lack of customer service. When will I get a technical representative that will know what they are doing? When will I enjoy again the service I had for many years? I am not the kind that jumps from company to company as I know that problems happen, but it has got to a point of disrespect to the American Citizen. I am exhausted of the amounts of reps that touched my devices, keeping me on the phone for hours, without successfully fixing the problem. I request that proper service be provided, through a qualified staff. This is not much of a request but it’s been ignored for so long. Just about every time I called, the rep ( or should I say phone operator ) said they had no skill to help me and took a message so a more technical rep would call. And that call always came when I was on the street. Every single rep would look what the previous one did and say that was the problem so they’d have fixed it. In my dreams!!!! /fiel
Great service, very reliable and has already proven to be cost-effective. Very structured plans as per my company’s needs, and can make changes to my account from on their site. Support team has pretty much available on demand. Setup of the ip phones was easy and got them to work with just a quick phone call to support.
Joined this company a couple of months ago. The setup was real easy. I found guides on everything I needed on the site about how to install the soft-phone and directions on how to use it properly. Its a little pricey and took me a couple of days to figure out the soft-phone and all its basic features and keys.
Soft-phone works great..clear sound quality. I switched in February of 2013. The hubby set everything up and was really quick. The features are pretty basic including e-911, dual line, call hold.We got one phone Polycom for our home office, and because the phone allows for multiple line connections, we were able to use the same device as our home phone as well. The selective calling features allow us to set call rules as we need between our home and business lines.

Editor’s Bottom Line of Broadvoice
BroadVoice offers a comprehensive Business VoIP solution for businesses of any size. Rather than differentiating their different plans and options by placing user limitations, BroadVoice instead will tailor packages to better fit the specific needs of your organization. It is worth noting that there are some slight feature limitations, for example more advanced functionality like Call Recording or Virtual Faxing is restricted to the Professional plan. However, on the other hand, even the Metered solution offers a lot for organizations that are not looking to pay monthly.
With the Metered plan, your team still gains access to the advanced call controls you need, like Call Waiting, Call Forwarding, Call Park, and Transfer. But even beyond just basic call controls, even the Metered plans includes some more advanced functionality like a Find Me Follow Me feature to ensure that you never miss a call, even when you are away from the desk. All plans also include SMS Messaging, with unlimited messaging included in the Standard and Professional plans. Upgrading to the Standard plan over Metered not only provides unlimited SMS texting, but also unlimited Domestic Calling and a Local DID number. In fact, BroadVoice offers DID numbers around the world, including in Europe, Asia, North America and even Australia.
One truly unique aspect of BroadVoice’s platforms and solutions is their 4G Failover Network. In the event that your service has any issues, or your business loses an internet connection due to weather, hardware failures or power outages, the system will automatically divert data to the wireless nationwide 4G network. This ensures that your business will always stay connected without experiencing any interruptions in a worst case scenario situation. BroadVoice’s latest addition to their platform was the b-hive virtual call center platform, combining UCaaS, Contact Center and Cloud PBX communication tools into one single application. | <urn:uuid:ec4ac537-7403-4e60-afaf-7ec01a344907> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://getvoip.com/reviews/broadvoice/ | 2022-09-27T00:24:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334974.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927002241-20220927032241-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.964534 | 2,393 | [

Olymel’s hog production division that supplies the Red Deer, Alberta plant will move a substantial amount of company-owned production to the U.S. to create enough plant capacity for all independent hog producers affected by the plant closure from a COVID outbreak.
“The temporary shutdown of Olymel’s hog slaughtering, cutting and deboning plant in Red Deer is affecting the many Albertan hog producers, including Olymel’s company-owned farms that ship market hogs to Red Deer on a weekly basis. The company understands the strain this has put on their operations as we estimate the backlog to be approximately 80-90,000 animals,” it said.
The company has implemented several strategies to mitigate the impact as much as possible including a clear path to reducing the backlog as quickly as possible.
By diverting hogs to the U.S., Olymel anticipates that the backlog of market-ready hogs will be cleared up within 4-5 weeks after the plant is able to resume activities.

Relieve Itching with Blepharitis Treatment
Blepharitis is probably the most commonly diagnosed problem in the office of a general ophthalmologist, and is probably the most UNDERdiagnosed problem in the general population. Often, patients are seen in their primary care doctor’s office with typical complaints, which can be confused with several other common problems. When the patient does not respond to the initial treatment by their internist or family practitioner, they are often referred to an ophthalmologist for evaluation and treatment.
What is blepharitis?
Blepharitis is inflammation of the skin and glands in the eyelids. It tends to be chronic and recurrent, and can begin at any stage of life. It is unlikely to cause damage to the eyes, and is not considered a serious threat to vision. It is unusual for blepharitis to affect the eye itself. When the eye is affected, it is possible that damage to the cornea, which is the front surface of the eye, can occur.
What are the common symptoms of blepharitis?
Blepharitis can cause a variety of symptoms, and many of them overlap with other eye conditions such as allergies, conjunctivitis (such as pink eye), and contact lens intolerance. The most common symptoms are:
Itching is the most common complaint with this disease. It is usually present all day long, and this may help differentiate it from other causes of itching. For instance, contact lens intolerance will usually be worse at the end of the day, especially right after removal of the lenses.
- Redness and Swelling
Patients with blepharitis will often have redness and swelling of the skin of the eyelids, especially at the ‘lid margin’, which is where the eyelashes attach to the eyelid. This is because most of the inflammation is present right at the base of the eyelashes. It is unusual for blepharitis to cause redness of the eye itself, but in advanced or untreated blepharitis, this can be seen.
- Flakes or Granulation
Tiny flakes, that look like dandruff, tend to be found at the base of the eyelashes. There are several types of flakes, which can sometimes give an indication of the source of the blepharitis. Many patients will state that they have ‘granulated eyelids’, or will mention grittiness on the lids and lashes.
What are the common causes of blepharitis?
Blepharitis be caused by, or are related to, many different problems, such as allergies, skin conditions like exczema or psoriasis, as well as from the normal bacteria that we all have on our skin at all times. The most common bacteria are Staph and Strep. In general, it doesn’t matter which is the root of the problem; the treatment does not tend to vary much.
Treatment of blepharitis
Treatment is pretty simple, and consists of use of either dilute baby shampoo, or commercial solutions to cleanse the eyelids on a regular basis. Some patients need this treatment every day, some can use it every 2nd or 3rd day. Occasionally, antibiotic drops, steroid drops, or even oral antibiotics may be necessary. A full examination by your eye doctor will help you determine the proper course of treatment. | <urn:uuid:5901f878-7c2a-4717-931b-0905a56b8aeb> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.2020vision.com/procedures/eye-care/blepharitis | 2022-09-29T18:48:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335362.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20220929163117-20220929193117-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.956648 | 710 | [

The Pickled Fork are teaming up with local residents to present The Brixton Diner, a popup restaurant which is starting to create a buzz at a secret location on Coldharbour Lane.
Their plan is to serve classic American dishes created with the best of local British produce, The Brixton Diner is a concept restaurant inspired by chefs Chris Griffett and Alex Motture, of Twenty Something and Edible Experience fame.

Despite the now widespread experience with the administration of chemotherapeutic agents in oncology, extravasation injuries still occur. Furthermore, the most appropriate management of such injuries is not known. The authors examined the current treatment options for extravasation injury and the incidence of this problem. All cases of extravasation referred to the plastic surgery service at one institution from 1994 through 1996 were examined. During a 6-year period there were 44 cases of extravasation injury identified in 42 patients. Comparison with a previous study conducted 15 years before at the same institution revealed a significant reduction in the incidence of extravasation injuries during that time (0.01% vs. 0.1%; p = 0.00). The site of extravasation was peripheral in 32 cases and central in 12. Paclitaxel and doxorubicin were the two most common drugs involved. The local infusion of antidotes was not performed routinely. Only 26 of the 42 patients were referred to the plastic surgery service for care. Only 10 of those 26 patients required local ulcer excision and closure to achieve a healed wound. The mean time between injury and referral was 40 days. This time did not predict the subsequent need for a surgical procedure. Most patients, including the remaining 16 referred to the plastic surgery service, did not require surgical intervention. All were watched expectantly, and their injuries healed spontaneously. In conclusion, the incidence of extravasation is decreasing, most likely as a result of the diligence in the administration and identification of extravasation injuries as well as the result of the use of more central infusion sites. Most cases can be managed conservatively, with directed surgical treatment of the ulceration when appropriate.

Sometimes, we idealize people in the Bible…like Abraham or Moses or Paul, for example.
And what about Moses? Some people call him the greatest leader in the Bible, save Jesus. But when was the last time you called a murderer a great national leader? Okay Bible buff, I guess that was before his great leadership days, wasn’t it? Ah, yes, but what about making his followers wander through a wasteland for 40 years? 40 years! This trip should have only taken 2-3 weeks by foot. And let’s say with all the caravans involved it takes a month or so to make the trip. Even if we give him the benefit of the doubt, the point is, this trip took 40 years. Now-a-days if a pastor takes a few extra minutes of our Sunday mornings, we’re ready to kick him to the curb. Or if a leader doesn’t have a 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year vision, we’re calling for mutiny. We don’t want leaders to waste our precious time, let alone our entire lives. Forgive me for going on so long about this one, but we don’t usually follow anyone for 40 years, no matter how good they are. So there’s a more human perspective on Moses.
Now for the last guy, Paul. What about good ol’ Paul? Once again, involved in murders and persecutions. Okay, again, those were his B.C. days. But would you have hired this guy for a pastor’s position? First, I don’t think he looked the part. Tradition says he was kind of hunched over, with a gnarly nose, and watering eyes, aka not exactly someone who will draw the crowds while teaching on stage. Maybe you’d hire him as a staff member? But he would have failed the background check with his prison record. Would you have sent him out of your church as a missionary to another country…when he used to be the enemy of the church and a persecutor of Christians? I don’t think we would have given this guy a chance. I know I probably wouldn’t have. He didn’t even know where to put a period when he wrote his letters. 😉
I’m not saying we need to go out and rack up a bad record like these guys did. We don’t need to fail in the same ways. I’m simply saying that God works in crazy and mysterious ways. He chooses unlikely candidates as well as likely candidates. He chooses common folk and privileged folk. Above all, He works miracles in and through imperfect people. | <urn:uuid:3e63bed9-2cf6-4a63-87fe-4b8e3d45eb09> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://omerdylanredden.com/2012/01/12/bible-heroes/ | 2022-10-02T10:02:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337307.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002083954-20221002113954-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.973947 | 568 | [

In the second part of a 3-part series, writer Jane Brooks continues her look at the life and times of Harry Ferguson, legendary inventor of the “Little Grey Fergie,” among the world’s most famous tractors. A 1938 handshake agreement with another industrialist genius, Henry Ford, set the stage for a new era in tractor manufacture on two sides of the Atlantic. Read part I.
After shaking hands on the Ford agreement in 1938, Harry Ferguson needed to extract himself from his contract with David Brown Co. Things had not gone well with the Ferguson-Brown during a time when the Fordson was gaining popularity. Moreover, horse-drawn implements could be adapted for use with the Fordson; the Ferguson-Brown required its own dedicated implements. Ferguson had wanted to increase production and reduce prices, but David Brown wanted to build a bigger tractor.
Designs for a new tractor were advanced to Ferguson, who claimed they breached the original Ferguson-Brown agreement. Both parties wanted to dissolve the business, so a deal was struck. David Brown bought out Ferguson, ceasing production of the Ferguson-Brown Type A tractor. The David Brown VAK1 tractor was launched in 1939. Serial numbers of Ferguson-Brown tractors from 1936 to 1939 show that 1,354 tractors were produced.
Launch of the 9N
With the David Brown business resolved, Ferguson moved his family to America, arriving Jan. 14, 1939. Henry Ford’s team had tested three prototype tractors incorporating the Ferguson System at the Ford family plantation in Georgia, so Ferguson and his team worked on the final model of the production tractor.
Ferguson and Sherman Bros., Evansville, Ind., set up Ferguson-Sherman Mfg. Corp. (renamed Harry Ferguson Inc. in 1941) to market the tractor and supply implements. The first public demonstration of the Ford-Ferguson 9N was made on June 29, 1939, in front of invited representatives from 18 countries and 30 American states, as well as several reporters. A July 3, 1939, account in Time magazine gushed: “That the tractor is as simple as a motorcar, can be maintained by any farm hand, operated by any schoolboy. That it will plow, harrow, drag a seeder, pull a wagon better than any tractor ever made, far better than a horse which is, as Thomas Edison said, ‘the poorest motor ever built.’ That inventor Ferguson will go down in history with Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and the Wright brothers.”
By 1942, the Ford-Ferguson 9N had captured 20 percent of the U.S. tractor market despite retailing at $585 ($7,824 in today’s terms), some $100 more than the Farmall Model A. The tractor had a 4-cylinder vertical Ford engine, basically half a Mercury VS. Many internal components, including the pistons, were compatible with parts used in Ford’s V-8 automobiles of the time. The engine produced 17 hp on the drawbar and 23.5 hp on the belt in Nebraska tests. The front axle and hydraulic linkage were Ferguson team designs, and the design incorporated the patented Ferguson System. Adapted for the British market, the 9NAN was fitted with a Holly 295 vaporizer to enable it to run on tractor vaporizing oil (TVO).
The Ferguson system was initially unpopular, as U.S. farmers could not use their existing implements with a Ford-Ferguson 9N. But America’s entry into World War II drove demand for increased food production, and tractor sales got a boost as a result. About 40,000 9N tractors were sold in 1941. War shortages temporarily halted production at Ford’s Rouge River tractor plant, Dearborn, Mich., in 1942, but Ferguson persuaded U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt to attend a tractor demonstration. The president ended up purchasing a tractor and implements for his Hyde Park, N.Y., farm and guaranteed availability of materials to resume tractor manufacture.
During the war years, Ferguson dealers and distributors were encouraged to locate old Fordsons that could be melted down to produce new Ford-Fergusons. Limited copper supplies led to a model with no electric starter motor, and rubber shortages meant that some tractors were put on steel wheels. Some of the World War II-era tractors (including the 2N) had magneto ignition because of starter motor battery shortages.
Ferguson’s plans dashed
Ferguson expected the 9N to be built at Dagenham, England, but the war intervened. Prior to the war, Ford U.K. made an agreement with the British government to produce large numbers of Fordson tractors to be held in stock by dealers. In the event of war, these tractors would be sold to help increase food production and the Dagenham factory would work at full capacity to produce more tractors.
The outbreak of war, however, caused immediate and prolonged demand for Fordson tractors, and the government would not sanction a change of production from Fordson tractors to the new Ford-Ferguson System tractors at Dagenham.
After the war, Ferguson still expected Ford U.K. to manufacture a Ferguson System tractor, but he was thwarted again. Ford U.K. directors were reluctant to work with him, and a different tractor was built at Dagenham. The Fordson E-27N was launched in March 1945. The E-27N had an upgraded in-line, 4-cylinder, side valve engine that produced 30 hp, three forward and one reverse gears, conventional clutch and rear axle drive. It was offered in four versions, each with different brakes, tires and gear ratios. A Perkins diesel engine model was offered in 1950.
Small numbers of Ford-Ferguson tractors and implements saw wartime service in England under the American Lend-Lease Act. But when Ford U.K. would not work with him, Ferguson returned to England in 1945 with just one thing on his mind: finding a British manufacturer for his tractor.
Birth of Banner Lane
During World War II, the British government financed construction of “shadow factories” to increase aircraft and engine production. New factories were constructed at a distance from existing facilities, decreasing the risk of them being bombed, but still near manufacturing areas where a skilled workforce was available.
In Banner Lane, Coventry (in England’s West Midlands), the Standard Motor Co. shadow factory, which produced more than 20,000 Bristol Aero engines for wartime use, stood empty. Standard’s Managing Director, Sir John Black, was already familiar with the Ford-Ferguson tractor and knew Ferguson needed a U.K. factory. A meeting was arranged at Claridge’s Hotel, London. Over dinner, the two men agreed that Standard Motor would have the rights to manufacture Ferguson tractors anywhere except North America, South America, Central America and the Philippines, with Ferguson having full control of design, development, sales and service.
When post-war steel shortages threatened the project, Ferguson visited Sir Stafford Cripps, president of the Board of Trade, and arranged a tractor demonstration for senior members of the British government and a representative of the Chinese government. On the strength of that demonstration he got his steel, enough to build 200 tractors a day. On July 6, 1946, the very first TE-20 (Tractor England) was produced at Banner Lane.
Early versions were powered by an overhead valve, 24 hp gas engine manufactured by Continental Motor Co. of Michigan. Equipped with four forward and one reverse gears, the starter was engaged by using the gear lever; with its 6-volt electrical system, a starting handle was absolutely essential.
Ford-Ferguson partnership grows rocky
By the mid-1940s, relations between Ferguson and Ford were strained. The refusal of Ford U.K. to build Ferguson System tractors was a major setback. Ford’s U.S. accountants were convinced the tractor business was unprofitable and, to their horror, Ferguson wanted U.S. production increased to a million tractors per year. With the death of Edsel Ford in 1943, Henry Ford again assumed the company’s presidency. In September 1945, Henry Ford’s grandson, Henry Ford II, took the helm; the company founder died in April 1947.
Henry Ford II faced a daunting task. The company had suffered financially during the war, and he disliked the fact that his company produced a tractor that was sold by another organization over which he had no control. He announced that Ford would introduce an improved version of the 9N and establish its own distribution and marketing company, effectively terminating any contract with Ferguson.
Fortunately, Ferguson had an agreement in place with Sir John Black and Standard Motor to produce tractors in the U.K. He kept his American distribution company running by importing TE-20 tractors and set about finding a company to produce tractors for the American market. While the first TE-20s were coming off the production line in England, Ford Motor Co. set up its own tractor distribution business in America, Dearborn Motor Corp.
At the same time Harry Ferguson Inc. lost its U.S. tractor supplier, implement manufacturers and the dealer network started to switch to Ford. Ferguson desperately needed a U.S.-based manufacturer, but the launch of Ford’s new tractor, the 8N, in 1947 changed everything. The 8N tractor incorporated Ferguson System hydraulics and linkage, including patented features and 4-speed transmission. Ford was using Dearborn Motors to market what was effectively a Ferguson System tractor.
Ferguson was undergoing treatment in a Swiss clinic at the time but, in November 1947, he was well enough to travel to America. Ford had anticipated Ferguson might take action against the American company. But instead of suing for breach of patent rights, Ferguson’s lawyers brought a case under American antitrust laws, suing Ford for three times the value of his American business (which was valued at $80 million) plus patent infringement on tractors already sold by Dearborn Motors, for a total of $251,111,000 plus legal fees. “It’ll be a grand fight,” Ferguson predicted.
During Ferguson’s years with Ford Motor Co., 306,181 Ford-Ferguson System tractors were built, and Harry Ferguson Inc. became one of the biggest agricultural equipment companies in the U.S. But a Dec. 2, 1946, issue of Time reported that, “Last week young Henry Ford II announced that the seven-year deal was off. Neither Ford nor Ferguson gave a reason for the split.” The general consensus was that Ford decided it was “not getting enough out of the deal.”
Ford announced the launch of a company headed by General Motors Vice President Frank R. Pierce to build the Ford 8N tractor and a line of implements. Meanwhile, Ferguson manufactured 46 farm implements for his tractors in the U.S. The implements were made by 105 subcontracting plants tailoring their location to the market.
Issuing a challenge
According to press accounts, Harry Ferguson Inc. turned over about $10 million a month, half of which was generated by sales of Ford-Ferguson tractors. When asked if he was worried about competition from the new Ford tractor, Ferguson Inc. President Roger Kyes laid down the gauntlet. “I recall that we have a number of patents,” he said.
The Ford-Ferguson agreement ended on June 30, 1947, three weeks before Ford’s new 8N was demonstrated to 300 guests at Deer Lake Farms near Detroit. News reports predicted stormy weather, noting that, “those who saw the new tractor thought it looked so much like the Ford-Ferguson machine that many predicted a patent squabble.” But the tractor sold well, and many Ferguson Inc. dealers switched to Dearborn Motors. In 1947, to keep his American company going, Ferguson shipped 25,000 British TE-20s to the U.S., solving the problem caused by the collapse of the Ford agreement, and justifying Sir Stafford Cripps’ efforts to supply steel to the Banner Lane factory.
In January 1948, in New York’s federal court, Harry Ferguson sued Henry Ford II, Dearborn Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co. and others for $251 million in damages, claiming patent infringements and conspiracy to monopolize the farm tractor and implement business. Ferguson claimed Ford Motor Co. had “recognized the validity (of his patents) and placed the statutory patent notice on all tractors manufactured down to June 1947.” He claimed triple damages on the 37,000 tractors Ford manufactured since the split and other damages for having rendered the business of the Ferguson Co. virtually unprofitable.
Ferguson purchased a 72-acre factory site in Detroit and built his own tractor plant, which he named Ferguson Park. American component suppliers were found and on Oct. 11, 1948, Harry Ferguson returned to America to drive the first tractor off the production line. Based on the TE-20, it was named TO (Tractor Overseas). By late 1948, production was up to about 100 tractors a day. Between 1948 and 1954, 140,000 TO-20 tractors were built in Detroit.
TE-20 a hit in the U.K.
Ferguson settled in the Cotswolds in west central England, buying Abbotswood, a beautiful home set on 600 acres. The rural setting allowed the opportunity to conduct actual field research. Spotting a TE-20 at work in a field, he’d go speak to the farmer, occasionally helping with mechanical repairs, all the while remaining anonymous.
Sales of the TE-20 flourished, partly due to an excellent U.K. dealer network. Ferguson visited dealerships but was not an easy man to please. He had a reputation for being a perfectionist obsessed with punctuality and cleanliness. Staffers were expected to be well presented and completely knowledgeable about both tractors and implements. He always carried a notebook and pencil and expected his staff to do the same. By 1949, more than 100,000 TE-20 tractors had been manufactured. At one point that year, Ferguson tractors held 78.4 percent of the wheeled tractor market in the U.K.
Ferguson also had a genius for publicity. Some of his exploits are legendary, including a 1948 cocktail party he hosted for overseas buyers. At that event, a tractor and trailer were displayed in a ballroom at Claridge’s Hotel in London. As Ferguson praised the tractor’s maneuverability, a Russian guest was overheard questioning its performance on a small plot of land. Ferguson jumped onto the tractor, demonstrating how well it operated in a small space before driving through the hotel lobby, down the entrance steps and onto the street.
In America, the legal battle continued. Ford wanted the case heard in Detroit, but Ferguson’s team argued that Ford’s massive presence there made it difficult to select an unbiased jury. The U.S. Supreme Court decided to hear the case in New York. In July 1948, the process of gathering depositions got underway. Harry Ferguson traveled to America to give evidence. Recorded over the course of three months, his deposition filled nearly 11,000 pages.
In July 1949, in a maneuver designed to get Ferguson to settle the case, Ford’s legal team entered the counter-claim that several of Ferguson’s patents were actually invented by Willie Sands. The unfounded accusation appalled Ferguson, who described stealing another man’s invention as “one of the foulest things a man could do.”
Henry Ford II traveled to England for discussions with Ferguson, meeting at Claridge’s, but no agreement was reached and he returned to America to begin giving evidence. In 1950, depositions were taken in London, Leamington Spa and Belfast. Ford paid for its legal team and the judge to travel to the U.K. That autumn the case looked to be close to trial, but the following year it became clear it would be a protracted process and Ferguson’s team had something else to consider. Their argument was partly based on the charge that Ford was monopolizing the tractor business, but by 1951, Ferguson’s U.S. sales reached $64.5 million, and the court dismissed the antitrust part of the claim.
An out-of-court settlement was reached in April 1952. Ford would pay Ferguson $9.25 million (equivalent to about $76 million today) for unauthorized use of his patents and alter its tractor design to remove any possible further patent infringements. Privately, Ferguson was dissatisfied with the outcome, writing to his lawyers that he believed Ford wanted to prolong the case until his patents expired.
The settlement was presented to the world’s press as a “David and Goliath” fight where the rights of the small inventor were upheld against the foe, large industry. The battle generated enormous publicity – and perhaps sales as well. That year, Ferguson tractors outsold all other brands of wheeled tractors not only in the U.K., but throughout the Eastern hemisphere.
The TE-20 was successful because of its excellent design and a knowledgeable dealer network that gave well prepared demonstrations. Harry Ferguson Ltd. ran a sales and service training school to train dealers at Packington Hall. Later, in 1949, the Ferguson School of Mechanical Farming was established at Banner Lane. FC

It’s good to understand the project of Buddhism because there are all kinds of suggestions. If you don’t understand what the project is then the pieces won’t fit. The Buddha teaches suffering and it’s end. We do have a possibility of realizing peace.

It’s the second year that we will be celebrating Christmas in a totally different way. Due to COVID-19, instead of feeling the Christmas rush in department stores, we panic over whether or not we will be able to receive our packages in time. Rather than spending hours at grocery lines to buy ingredients, we might just order in for Noche Buena. Since ordering everything online still seems to be the safest and most convenient option, it is only fair that businesses find a way to make customers’ holiday shopping experience a pleasant one. Here’s how having a chatbot for your store can help you keep your customers in a jolly mood:
All-in-One Messaging & E-commerce Channel
What’s the best way to make it easier for your customers to purchase products if not by taking your store to where they can communicate and transact with you at the same time? By having a chatbot on Facebook Messenger where people prefer to go to message businesses, you make your store more accessible to customers and provide them an all-in-one channel where they can inquire about, browse, and pay for products without downloading new apps or going to another website.
Personalized Product Catalog
With a chatbot, conversations take place naturally. This allows you to easily ask customers questions about their interests, preferences, or even get their wishlists so you can provide them a product catalog that shows all the things that they are looking for and make way for a personalized shopping experience. Additionally, a chatbot can display products using carousels which can contain multiple buttons, images, and detailed descriptions to improve user experience.
Enhanced Customer Service
Through natural language processing (NLP), chatbots can understand messages and respond with the right information. First it identifies the intent in each message and matches it with information from its knowledge base then retrieves the correct response. Since a chatbot can automatically answer inquiries and concerns and stays permanently operational, you can provide 24/7, instant customer service even when you’re not online. Your chatbot can also include a live chat feature with a customer support agent for additional assistance.
Meaningful Customer Engagement
A chatbot can collect essential customer information that you can use to tailor content and engage customers effectively. Based on user activity, past purchases, and other data acquired through interactions with your chatbot, you can send customers relevant promos and product recommendations. For example, you can give a discount or offer a surprise gift with their next purchase to a customer who has recently bought an item from your Christmas collection. With a chatbot, there are endless ways to keep your customers interested and engaged.
Christmas comes but once a year… so give your customers the best gift by making sure they have a wonderful experience with your store! Book a bot demo now:

Penrith pair Api Koroisau and Viliame Kikau and Parramatta’s Maika Sivo, Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Waqa Blake headline a star studded Fiji Bati squad named for the World Cup.
The Bati will be led by Sydney Roosters back Kevin Naiqama and Kikau, who are among 17 NRL stars included in the squad announced by Fiji coach Joe Rabele.
Others include Newcastle props Daniel and Jacob Saifiti, St George Illawarra second-rower Tariq Sims and Melbourne forward Tui Kamikamica
Koroisau, Campbell-Gillard, Jacob Saifiti and Sims were all members of NSW’s State of Origin campaign this season and are also under consideration by Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga.
Rabele said he wanted Koroisau to play five-eighth or hooker at the World Cup but needs an answer on his availability before the final 24-man Bati squad is announced on October 19.
“I know that he has some interest to play for the Kangaroos, but the door is still open for Api Koroisau,” Rabele told a press conference in Fiji.
“Hopefully he will get back to me because we will send invitation letters to all the clubs for all the players that we select [to confirm] if they want to be part of this program, so we are waiting for them to respond.
“We are departing for England on October 25 so before we depart we need to select our best team that we can for the World Cup.”
📰 Players battling for fitness ahead of RLWC2021, more exciting warm-up fixtures announced and Rugby League diplomacy!
— Rugby League World Cup 2021 (@RLWC2021) September 5, 2022
Fiji have made the semi-finals of the last three World Cups and are looking to go one step further and qualify for the final at Old Trafford on November 19.
They face Australia in their opening World Cup match at Headingley on October 15, with Italy and Scotland the other teams in Pool B.
The Bati will be based in Rochdale and begin their preparations for the World Cup with a warm-up match against hosts England at Salford on October 7.
“Hopefully all the best players will be available for this World Cup campaign,” Rabele said.
“Those players in the grand final will come after the grand final. Our warm-up match is against England so that is where we want to set up our structures for the game against Australia.”

My love for lip liners run deep and is well documented. When I ventured in to the Kiko store a couple of months ago I knew I had to give their Precision Lip Liners
The Kiko precision lip liners
are part of the permanent collection and is a traditional pencil liner that needs sharpening. As you can see I could not just stick with getting one liner and needed to get two. After spending a good 15 minutes deliberating I decided on the shades 308 and 301.
308 is a nice deep purple toned berry shade. Unlike the other deep shades I own like the Gosh Velvet Lip Pencil in Red Danger 308 Bourdoux has more plum under tones and applies more berry than red on the lips.
301 Tattoo Pink is a very grunge nineties brown shade. The reason I got this was because it reminds me a lot of MAC's stone lip liner. I had my eyes on a shade like this and was lucky to find it. It is unique colour and one you do not usually find on the high street.
The formula of the precision lip liner is soft but firm which I like. It means you over draw the lips slightly without it drying the lips. As it is soft it applies easily on the rest of the lips. What impressed me the most is the longevity of the liners. Not all traditional lip liners stand a working day but the Kiko Precision Lip Liners
do no such thing. I could leave the liner at home and not worry about it fading.
I am really picky when it comes to lip liners. I need one that moulds the colour perfectly on to my lips and does not dry them out. At £4:20 the shade range is fantastic and the formula is spot on. | <urn:uuid:5ef84fc5-9b8c-4ea5-881b-88d3d50f05f0> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://bamblingsofnaffy.blogspot.com/2015/08/review-kiko-precision-lip-liner.html | 2022-10-06T10:53:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337803.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006092601-20221006122601-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.954236 | 372 | [

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — A federal judge on Monday sentenced former U.S. Rep. Rick Renzi to three years in prison for convictions on public corruption, money laundering and other charges.
U.S. District Judge David C. Bury also sentenced Renzi co-defendant James Sandlin to 18 months in prison, and ordered both men to pay fines. They are to begin their prison terms in January.
“I’m not wise enough to know why good people do bad things — I think character and avarice have something to do with it,” Bury said. “That’s what happened here. Two good men committed bad acts.”
Renzi, a Republican, represented Arizona’s sprawling 1st Congressional District from early 2003 until early 2009. He chose not to run for re-election in 2008 while facing the federal indictment.
A federal jury in Tucson convicted him in June on 17 of 32 counts, including wire fraud, conspiracy, extortion, racketeering, money laundering and making false statements to insurance regulators. He was acquitted on the remaining counts.
The U.S. Probation Office recommended that Renzi be sentenced to 33 months in federal prison, be fined $20,000 and serve three years of supervised release.
The prosecution wanted up to 12 years in prison for Renzi. The defenses asked for probation.
Prosecutors said Renzi, 55, used his office for personal financial gain and looted a family insurance business to help pay for his 2002 campaign. He was acquitted on the remaining counts.
The indictment charged that Renzi, while in office in 2005, held hostage possible parcel swaps involving public land proposed as the site for an Arizona copper mine unless it included purchasing private land owned by Sandlin, a former Renzi business associate.
According to the indictment, an investment group agreed to pay $4.6 million for Sandlin’s land. He then paid Renzi $733,000 for his help.
Sandlin, 62, was convicted on 13 counts including conspiracy, wire fraud, extortion and money laundering.
Last week, Bury denied motions to reverse Renzi’s convictions and grant him a new trial. Renzi’s lawyers had argued that the evidence wasn’t enough to back up the jury’s verdict.

Things I’ve learned as a freelance designer
You wouldn’t see the “freelancer” title in my LinkedIn profile. But the truth is, I work as one since I was 17.
I had my first paid project while I’m still in high school. It was a 3D design project of the Hebrew Temple of the Egyptian era. Then came an opportunity to do a freelance for an agricultural Startup creating models of a machine. When I was just starting out, I did some work for friends, family and neighbors. And I can proudly say I’ve done EVERY possible mistake. So I’m glad to share with you the important lessons I’ve learned from my 15 years of experience as a freelance designer.
1. Do it for free or ask for full price
– “Man, I need a small favour”
– “Can you give me a friend’s price?”
– “It’ll be worth it – you are going to be famous”
– “It’s gonna take you 5 minutes”
These may sound familiar if you are working with people you know. One of the hard facts about working with familiar faces is, that they have the most draining expectations. They want the best they can get – but at the lowest cost.
The big paradox is, when you give them a discount, they feel as if they’ve paid. Hence, they deserve the best you can do. You – on the other hand – feel that you’re screwed. That low price just isn’t worth the hassle.
So here’s what you should do: either do it for free, or work for a full payment. If you work for free, your friends know that they are the least priority, and they can’t drive you crazy too much. At any point you can tell them: “listen, I gotta finish this, because I have some real work to do, and I gotta pay the rent” or “You can’t drive me crazy, for a favor I’m doing for you”.
While if you bill them for full payment, they may demand for so much, but at least you’re not losing money. You can serve them professionally like you would do with any other client of yours.
As for me, at this point I try to avoid projects for friends or family. I don’t want to take the risk of either of us getting pissed at each other. However, sometimes you can’t avoid it, because you love your friends/family and they really need help. In this case – just don’t give discounts.
2. Market yourself, before you really need it
People think that marketing is something you should do when your portfolio is “perfect”. “I’ll start marketing myself in 2 months, when my portfolio is ready.” Big mistake. I learned it myself when I tried to market an iPhone application I’ve built, only AFTER it was ready.
This is true for every marketing challenge: you need to start marketing way before you have something to sell. What do I mean? Say you are hired, but you plan to leave in 6 months to start being a freelancer designer. Don’t wait for your last day at work to post on Facebook “Yo! I’m a freelancer! Send me your projects!”. If that’s what you gonna do, it’s going to be really hard to pay the rent in the following month.
I know it’s really hard for us – Y generation – to plan 6 months ahead, not to speak of 10 years. We want it all to happen right now. But that’s not how it works. For me, I’ve started blogging two years ago, not for marketing, but for fun. And now, two years later, the results are showing. I get job offers on a weekly basis, without any effort. And you know what? I don’t even have an online portfolio.
Get the word out as soon as you can, and a few months ahead you will start seeing results. It takes time, effort and being consistent, to build a brand. But it’s worth the pain.
3. Tell your clients “No”
My instinct is to say “YES” to anything. After all, I’m a nice guy. I hate confrontation and like it when people offer to pay me.
– You got a project for me? Are you willing to pay me? Ok, yes.
– You don’t like what I designed, and you want something else? Ok, yes.
But then I realized that I am too nice for my own good.
You see, I hate conflicts. I never fight with people and if you push me, I crack. But over the years I learned (the hard way) that the “to be OK with everyone” policy, is not the best thing to do. At least not for me.
I’ve done many freelance design projects even when I was working full time in a studio. I didn’t REALLY need the money, I just couldn’t say “No” to an offer that had money behind it.
At some point I realized it’s not always worth it. When you work nights and weekends – it turns to be your life. So if you don’t really need it to pay the bills, your life could be better without these extra jobs. That way, you’ll have some time for yourself. And you know what? The moment you start saying “No” to clients, they start to treat you differently. You stop being the one begging for work, and you’ll be the one others stand in line to work with. It will change how people see you and speak about you.
There’s another great reason to say “no” to your client. When the project is not interesting. Don’t forget that the projects you’re working on, are the ones you’ll have in your portfolio. Those projects will attract the same type of clients to keep coming, as they say: “shitty projects attract shitty clients”
And what about saying “no” design-wise? If you hate conflicts like me, you probably tend to give up when a client doesn’t like your design. You probably say “Well, whatever. If he wants it to look crappy, it’s his problem”. But that’s a huge mistake commonly overlooked. Don’t create design works, you don’t believe are awesome. Again – this is going to be in your portfolio. And the thing is, just like with the money – when you start saying “no” about bad design, the clients will treat you as a professional.
4. Set expectations with your clients
Most problems between designers and clients can be fixed by setting expectations:
– Schedule everything (including inputs from the client, meetings, and end of project)
– Money (how much and when is it paid)
– Communication ways (when and how are we communicating. How do we ask for changes, fix and show them)
– What are the outputs (what is required, including the specific type of files the developer needs)
– Consequences (what will happen when we’re not happy, we don’t want to work together anymore, etc.).
If you set expectations properly, including a great contract that’s written properly, you’ll save time dealing with conflicts. When something goes wrong, well, then it’s fine because you’ve already laid the consequences. You need to keep in mind that a well written contract protects both parties, meaning you and your client. Our aim as a freelance designer, is to deal with the clients’ fear, giving him the feeling that every little thing gonna be all right.
By the way, this last point is right not just for freelancers, but also for designers who work in the office for a boss.
5. Don’t forget to backup your work
It’s a cliché, and its crystal clear, and still – we often forget to do that. Back up your work. Remember that project I’ve done at the age of 17? After 4 months of hard work, a virus killed my computer (oh, the happy windows days). I had to do everything from scratch, with no added payment of course. Do yourself a favor – make sure it’s all backed up. After all, there are so many simple and free tools to do that these days.

Good stuff is on the way.

Most of you know that I started this endeavor of sharing Bailynn’s life story about 7 years ago just as she was going through a tough and long stage with STAPH infection in rods that had been placed on her spine. I spent days spilling information about Bailynn into the pages of her CaringBridge. Sharing her life journey helped me to cope with it as well as letting our friends, family, and even complete strangers come along for the ride. All of her CaringBridge is cataloged under the menu tab Bailynn. Anyone who wants to read through hundreds of logs can find them there. Some of them are tough for me to reread. Some give me a glimpse back at things I have forgotten or suppressed. My favorite thing that I started doing was the simple signature at the bottom. Every time I wrote it, it justified sharing. It said this isn’t about me. It let the world know that I was giving a voice to Bailynn, for Bailynn. FOR HER! I don’t remember when or why I started doing it; I just did.
So today while playing with some design stuff, I decided to honor that. Cause every post, every tear, every accomplishment, every day is FOR HER (and of course her sisters!). Thanks for being here and reading about my little girl. Bob and I are happy to share this journey with you. So just a fun post and a simple tribute to Her! 🙂 | <urn:uuid:3a3b1bcd-2445-4c1e-b046-19115b259495> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://5pinkpeonies.com/2015/09/03/for-her/ | 2022-09-28T13:36:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335254.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220928113848-20220928143848-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.979934 | 309 | [

Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Buddhist monk who has done essential work in spreading the practice of mindfulness worldwide, has written dozens of books. “The Art of Communicating” is one of his best.
Although his work clearly comes from a Buddhist perspective, he has much to teach us all. One of my favorite chapters covers the four elements of right speech:
- Tell the truth. Don’t lie or turn the truth upside down.
- Don’t exaggerate.
- Be consistent. That means no double-talk: speaking about something in one way to one person and in another to someone else for selfish or manipulative reasons.
- Use peaceful language. Don’t use insulting or violent words, cruel speech, verbal abuse or condemnation.
The book is short, but so useful. I particularly like the Six Mantras of Loving Speech, which each person is free to adapt as the situation calls for it. | <urn:uuid:bba1dc31-7661-4f6a-baab-c2492d50b7a7> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://mindfulchristianyear.com/2020/02/29/resource-the-art-of-communicating/ | 2022-09-29T20:00:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335365.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20220929194230-20220929224230-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.949037 | 196 | [

Useful Insight to Dermal Fillers
It's hard to find someone who doesn't want to look good. Beauty is valued by everyone. Aging is a natural process, but often; this process can be accelerated by factors such as an imbalanced diet, smoking, poor skin care, excessive exposure to harsh weather, or overuse of chemicals.
Fine lines and wrinkles are a sign of aging. Many people wonder what they can do to prevent these early signs of aging. Anti-aging cream, face lift, skin filler, etc. Is one of the most popular methods of fighting wrinkles and fine lines. You can visit aaams if you are looking to learn the art of aesthetics.

What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers refer to products that are injected into your skin to reduce scars, fill in wrinkles, or remove fine lines. When injected, this filler fills the skin, fills in wrinkles and fine lines, corrects scars, and rejuvenates the face. These refills are instantly popular because the results are almost instantaneous.
Types of dermal fillers:
The human fat used to inject fillers is taken from your own body. The doctor takes fat from your stomach or thighs, cleans it, and then injects it into the affected facial area. This is a very suitable choice for those with multiple allergies. The body reabsorbs some of the fat that was injected.
It is a protein found in human and cow skin. It is also used to ward off the appearance of mild or moderate wrinkles on the face. This skin fill option is suitable for those who want to maintain their appearance after undergoing facial plastic surgery or a facelift. | <urn:uuid:058d139c-83fb-404c-8622-b4c6c74abcd5> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://familymarketmadrid.com/useful-insight-to-dermal-fillers/ | 2022-10-01T06:31:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335530.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001035148-20221001065148-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.950768 | 362 | [

Along with boosting your health, exercise increases calorie expenditure to help you lose or maintain weight. While the number of calories burned per session varies with the type of exercise and the intensity at which it is performed, any workout is decidedly superior at fighting fat than sitting on the couch. If you’re a beginner, ease gently into a routine without stressing over the calorie count — and see your doctor before starting a program.
Vigorous aerobic exercise tops the list for calorie burning. A 155-pound person burns about 372 calories in half an hour jumping rope, doing high-impact step aerobics or running at 6 mph. Moderate aerobic exercises are less efficient at burning calories. For example, in 30 minutes that 155-pound person burns just 149 calories walking at 3.5 mph, or 205 doing low-impact aerobics. If half an hour of vigorous activity is too taxing for your fitness level, you can still up your calorie burn with intervals. For example, walk for a few minutes, run for one minute, then repeat.
Strength training is an important component of a balanced workout routine, but it typically burns fewer calories than vigorous aerobic activity. Lifting weights, a 155-pound person burns about 112 calories in a moderate 30-minute session, or 223 calories in a vigorous half-hour workout. Performing body-weight exercises such as pushups, situps and lunges, the same person burns about 167 calories in 30 minutes. Despite these relatively low numbers, strength training builds muscle, which increases your calorie-burning potential, even when you’re at rest. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that strength training could boost your metabolism by as much as 15 percent.
THE WEIGHT FACTOR
Your body weight affects how many calories you burn during workouts; the more you weigh, the more you burn. And it may not seem fair, but as you lose weight, calorie burning will drop. For example, a 125-pound person only burns about 300 calories in 30 minutes performing the same activities that burn 372 calories for the 155-pound person. A 185-pound person will burn an impressive 444 calories doing the exact same thing.
CALORIES IN PERSPECTIVE
For successful weight management, look at your overall calorie balance, including food intake. One pound of body fat is equal to about 3,500 calories — much more than one exercise session will burn off. But you can lose that pound in a week by creating a 500-calorie deficit each day. If you usually burn 2,000 calories a day — a typical amount for many women — you can create this deficit by eating 1,800 calories per day and burning 300 extra calories per day through exercise. Men generally burn 400 to 600 more calories in a day than women. | <urn:uuid:25338029-67d7-4176-9af7-0c9bc80a561a> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://completenutrition.com/blogs/news/how-many-calories-do-you-burn-in-your-workouts | 2022-10-02T13:56:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337322.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20221002115028-20221002145028-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.911912 | 586 | [

We’re escaping the Florida heat this weekend and visiting our dealer Boathouse Marine and Leisure in Salmon Arm, British Columbia! Salmon Arm is a beautiful destination located in the Shuswap Lakes Region of British Columbia. While we’re there we will visit an organic farmers market, the Peter Jannink Nature Park and tour Shuswap Lake with our dealer!
The organic farmers market in Salmon Arm is the only one of its kind in British Columbia, Canada. The market has a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, beef, baked goods, dairy products and more! If you’re visiting between May and October the market is open every Wednesday afternoon, and every second Wednesday from November to April.
Explore Salmon Arm’s rich history at the R.J. Haney Heritage Village! The village has 14 buildings that have been reproduced and several interactive exhibits for kids to enjoy such as the “Haney Gold” exhibit. The village also has beautiful nature trails to explore in between exhibits, and a tea room for a delicious lunch or quick snack. There is also an extraordinary Villains and Vittles Dinner Theatre during July and August on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
Now it’s time to take an adventure on Shuswap Lake with our dealer Boathouse Marine! The lake is a serene environment for fishing four species of salmon: sockeye, chinook, coho and pink. If fishing doesn’t interest you then try out a pair of skis, or a wakeboard from our dealer.
If you have visited the area before, tell us about your visit in the comments section or on our Monterey Boats Facebook page! | <urn:uuid:63b1752b-bcf0-4166-8ec8-d844e4760157> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.montereyboats.com/news/view/visiting-salmon-arms-british-columbia/ | 2022-10-03T21:40:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337432.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20221003200326-20221003230326-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.951886 | 349 | [

During a visit to India, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has expressed concern that extremist groups pose a threat to the "stability and security" of the Pakistani government.
"This could lead to a threat to Pakistan's own stability," Tillerson told journalists on October 25 following talks with Indian Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj in New Delhi.
"It is not in anyone's interests that the government of Pakistan be destabilized," he added.
The secretary of state also thanked Swaraj for standing "shoulder to shoulder" with the United States in combating extremism in the region.
Tillerson is holding talks with Indian leaders as the two countries look to deepen relations and counter China's growing clout.
Tillerson said last week that Washington wants to "dramatically deepen" cooperation with Pakistan’s archrival India as it seeks to promote a "free and open" region led by prosperous democracies.
He arrived in New Delhi late on October 24 after visiting Islamabad at a time when bilateral ties are frayed following U.S. complaints about Pakistan allegedly providing "safe havens" for Islamist militants.
Tillerson “reiterated President [Donald] Trump's message that Pakistan must increase its efforts to eradicate militants and terrorists operating within the country," according to the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad.
Tillerson also voiced appreciation for the "sacrifices" Pakistan has made in fighting militancy and for its help in securing the recent release of a U.S.-Canadian family held captive by the Taliban for five years.
The trip came after Trump unveiled his new strategy for South Asia in August, accusing Islamabad of harboring "agents of chaos" who could attack U.S.-led NATO forces in neighboring Afghanistan.
It followed an unannounced stop on October 23 in Afghanistan, where Tillerson reiterated America's commitment to the country as the Western-backed government in Kabul is struggling to beat back insurgents in the wake of the exit of most NATO forces in 2014.
Meanwhile, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani met with Indian leaders in New Delhi on October 24 to discuss bilateral relations, regional security, and the fight against terrorism. | <urn:uuid:865d8fe9-416e-4a53-b404-5c21cd194b45> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://gandhara.rferl.org/a/tillerson-visits-india-after-afghanistan-pakistan/28815028.html | 2022-10-05T06:12:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337537.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005042446-20221005072446-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.957364 | 444 | [

Pakistan comes on the top soccer balls manufacturers. Other countries produce some but the reputation of the Pakistani balls is proved to be better for the quality and the expected duration.

Proteins are the building blocks of all human cells and fulfill important functions in our bodies. Learn more about this essential nutrient!
Proteins: The Building Blocks of Life
Proteins are the nutrients that are most often found in cells and are the only nitrogen source that humans can use. They are composed of amino acids, but their chemical composition can vary quite a bit from one to another. Some proteins consist of fewer than 100 amino acids, and other proteins contain several thousand amino acids including essential amino acids. Proteins perform important tasks in the body. They’re responsible for:
- The development of body tissue, such as muscles, organs, or connective tissues. This usually happens during growth, pregnancy, or cell renewal processes.
- The production of endogenous proteins, such as carrier proteins, enzymes, hormones. Endogenous proteins basically ensure that the body cells are doing what they were designed to do.
- Immune system antibodies, which protect the body from disease and infection.
Our body can use proteins, as a source of energy in the case of insufficient energy supply from carbohydrates or fats. Organisms only have limited storage capacities for protein, so we need a continuous supply of them.
If too few proteins are supplied through food over a long period of time, an organism is forced to break down muscles and produce the above-mentioned essential substances from the protein, like amino acids, that have become available.
Proteins Help You Feel Full
Of all the dietary nutrients, protein gets a great reputation for helping us feel fueled and full. There hasn’t been enough research to determine exactly why they create this effect, But scientists suspect that the concentration of amino acids (basic building blocks of proteins) stimulates the satiation areas in the brain.
Furthermore, blood sugar levels remain lower after a protein-rich meal (e.g., fish or steak with salad) than after a carbohydrate-rich meal (e.g., pasta with tomato sauce). This process reduces cravings and makes you feel fuller longer.
The animal and plant proteins are also creating essential amino acids that help build muscle and in turn, boost metabolism. So another reason people love protein is because of the way it stimulates metabolism much more than other nutrients. Our body has to provide energy for the digestion and metabolism of protein. This sometimes produces heat, known as “food-induced thermogenesis”.
How Much Protein Do We Need?
The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for healthy adults is 0.8 g protein per kilogram of body weight per day. For a woman weighing 65 kg (143 pounds), this means a protein consumption of 52 g. Children, especially babies, need significantly more protein per kilogram of body weight. A maximum of 15 percent of the total calorie consumption should come from protein. About two-thirds of the protein should be vegetable-based and one third from animal sources.
Protein Sources From Food
It’s usually not very difficult to get enough protein in your diet since it’s so abundant in many different types of foods. Vegetable protein sources include legumes such as peas, beans, and lentils as well as nuts, cereals, and potatoes. Protein-rich foods from animals are fish, meat, eggs, and dairy products such as cheese and yogurt.
A vegan diet usually contains much less protein than a mixed diet. This is why children and teenagers as well as nursing mothers and pregnant women who wish to pursue a vegan diet need to make sure they’re getting enough protein since they need extra protein in general. With an adequate supply of protein, a dynamic balance between the development and degradation of protein occurs in adults. You might also need more protein during times of large blood loss or infections.
Do Protein Supplements Make Sense?
Have you ever bought protein-enriched food? What about high-protein dairy products, shakes, or protein bars, which can sometimes fill several grocery aisles? Do you think such foods make sense outside of competitive sports?

Daily Mail: Meghan Markle Believes Queen Was Pressured to Make Demands about Name Change Because Harry Is Her Favorite
Meghan Markle expressed her frustration over the unfair treatment she felt she and Prince Harry have gotten from the royal family since stepping down as senior members.
Meghan told her close friends that she sees things such as removing their royal titles, banning them from using the word "royal" in their branding, and putting their departure under a one-year review is "payback" for seeking independence outside of the monarchy.

It is reported, Meghan feels that she andHarry
are being treated differently from other members of the royal family. In a shocking move, the couple shared their crumbling's about their unfair treatment in part of a statement they put on their website, whichindicated:
"While there is precedent for other titled members of the Royal Family to seek employment outside of the institution, for The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, a 12-month review period has been put in place."
Meghan's friend said the Duchess felt she had no other choice but to make a public statement to make their intentions known. Commenting on how people perceived their statement to be hostile in its tone, her friend explained:
"[Meghan] said if anyone should feel insulted, it should be them. They never intended to capitalize on the word royal, and to insinuate they were somehow abusing their privileges is absurd."
The friend made it clear that Meghan and Harry intended to rise above all the "jealousy and pettiness" by focusing only on the positive things they are doing and being great parents to their son Archie, her friend added:
"[Meghan] said she will continue to champion Harry because out of everyone, he has the most integrity and the most loyalty."
According to TMZ, adding his opinion to the ongoing drama with the royal family, Meghan's estranged father, Thomas Markle said the couple "don't have a right to speak to the Queen the way they've spoken to her."
However, he admitted that he isn't surprised by her actions because he feels she disrespected her own family publically when she cut all ties with them.
With their final engagements ahead of them in the coming weeks, Meghan and Harry will formally step down on March 31.
BBC reported, as they will no longer be senior members of the royal family, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who have been providing their security since November 2019, when the moved to Canada, has announced the couple's status change means they will cease those duties. | <urn:uuid:fa82a117-a3b0-43b8-8961-4a92ecc8f824> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://news.amomama.com/196838-daily-mail-meghan-markle-believes-queen.html | 2022-10-06T12:50:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337836.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006124156-20221006154156-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.977709 | 580 | [

I'm in quite the opposite situation, Ask has more of my pages indexed than Google. Nearly 95% (1200+)of all pages - and we add new ones all the time.

Is your site dynamically generated?
As we only seem to get hits on our index pages
A record number of Jeeves hits this month so far

Yes, our site is dynamically generated (php / mysql). But we use Mod_Rewrite to eliminate those dynamic looking URLs.
If you're talking bot hits (I thought you were talking about referrals). We get good activity from all bots.
How old is your site. Y! and Ask are very slow to pick up "new" sites.
| 11:36 pm on Sep 8, 2006 (gmt 0)|
The site is about a year old
How do I use mod-rewrite to alter my URLs and not have it effect the working of the site?

One of the most glorious Art Deco buildings in the world is Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Home of the world-famous Rockettes, as well as a popular venue for concerts and the annual Christmas Spectacular, Radio City opened its gilded doors in 1932 as a glittering showplace for films and live entertainment. By 1999, much of the original glitter had faded, and the building was closed for eight months for a tip-to-toe restoration.
The New York City firms of Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer architects and Fisher Marantz Stone (FMS) architectural lighting designers worked together to bring the building back to its former glory, through both renovation and restoration. "We first approached the lighting without a budget in mind," says Scott Hershman, who with Paul Marantz served as principal lighting designer for the project. "We came up with as many things as possible to bring the space into the next millennium. It opened as a state-of-the-art facility and we wanted to bring it up to state-of-the-art today."
As Hershman points out, some of the technical innovations in the original theatre were ahead of their time. These included "sunset coves" with changing colors out over the audience in the auditorium, as well as the General Electric Thyratron tube-based dimming system that was used right up until 1999. "By this time, they had to have tubes specially manufactured," Hershman says, noting that the dimmers werelocated in two "reactor" rooms that took up a lot of valuable floor space. A new ETC dimming system, as well as a new theatrical lighting package, was specified by FMS's sister company, Fisher Dachs Associates.
To update the architectural lighting throughout the facility, Hershman and Marantz "let [their] imaginations run wild. We tried to think of what innovations they would have done today," Hershman says. "We came up with a big menu and the owners picked the ideas they wanted to implement and those they could afford."
The goal they had in mind was twofold: to restore everything that was there, and upgrade it to meet modern-day criteria and expectations. "The light levels were really low in some places, actually less than 1fc," explains Hershman, as he points out that the use of some of the spaces has changed over the decades. The Grand Lounge on the lower level, for example, once had many chairs and tables with lamps, as well as floor torcheres. Over time, the furniture was removed and the practical lighting sources went along with it.
"We needed to provide more illumination without constraining the floor space," Hershman says. Since floor lamps and period table lamps are too fragile for the use of the room today (access to restrooms and concession stands), existing ceiling fixtures in this room were transformed and refabricated to incorporate a downlight with an R20 lamp, as well as compact fluorescent lamps for uplighting. While FMS basically avoided such "modern" sources, in this case they felt they were appropriate. "They are used to light a white ceiling and the source is completely concealed," he points out.
FMS also added small-aperture downlights to the promenade that surrounds the mezzanines. These fixtures use MR-16 lamps and have a 2"-diameter ceiling opening. They were manufactured by Iris (of Cooper Industries) and finished in the same Dutch metal leaf as the ceiling.
Over 250 of these fixtures were used throughout the project. "The idea was to integrate the lighting in the most discreet way possible, and make it look as if most of the light comes from the decorative fixtures," says Hershman. In the Grand Lounge, they were also used to accent restored murals that do not have much contrast against the dark walls on which they are painted.
Throughout, the architectural lighting was updated but with the same look as the incandescent sources that were used historically. "The halogen downlights are dimmed to warm them up," notes Hershman. "We looked at replacing some of the lamps with more modern, longer-life sources but found that the color rendering was wrong for the character of the project. There are a lot of reds and golds in the interiors."
Just as Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer worked to restore the original colors to the carpets, wall coverings, and finishes, the lighting designers also worked to color-correct the illumination. Where they couldn't use longer-life lamps, they relied on dimming to increase the lamp life as much as possible.
To restore the existing sconces, chandeliers, and other extant fixtures, extensive photographs were taken to determine what needed to be replaced, fixed, or simply cleaned. Many of the fixtures were taken down, packed up, and sent to Winona Studio of Lighting in Winona, MN, for restoration. "They had a very short turnaround time," Hershman points out. "The doors closed in February 1999 and reopened in September 1999. As soon as the doors closed they started pulling things off the walls and everything had to be ready to go."
Many of the fixtures that were sent to Winona had missing glass pieces, some of which had been replaced over the years with mismatched panels or simply with a piece of gel. Some of the glass had to be replaced altogether as the original style was no longer available, and the idea was to make all the fixtures in each public space look exactly alike.
In the auditorium itself, the lighting in the ceiling coves was no longer uniform in terms of distribution and color, as the glass lenses had been replaced in a haphazard manner as needed. Somesections weren't used at all as they were found to be too hard to maintain. To restore this dramatic lighting feature, all of the lenses were replaced in their original colors.
"They originally used long-necked A-lamps that had a 750-hour life," says Hershman, who explains that these had been replaced with PAR-38 lamps that needed socket extenders, but the result was "too spotty." The current solution uses Philips Halogena lamps which provide a nice, soft light and have an increased life expectancy of 2,000 hours. These are also a smaller lamp, so a new reflector was designed to house them. These were manufactured by Altman Stage Lighting.
Due to scheduling constraints, about half of the fixtures use the existing reflectors with a custom socket extender. "They had to put in certain reflectors while the scaffolding was still up in the theatre," explains Hershman. The new Altman reflectors are used with about 30% of the lamps, the ones in the lower ends of the coves which are easier to reach. "The Altman reflectors do work better," Hershman notes. "They have more light output, but to the audience I think they all look the same."
Another update in the auditorium is a new system that serves three separate functions: work lights, emergency lights, and lights for the daily tours of the building. "For work light there was just one 1,000W fixture hanging in the middle of the space. It wasn't concealed in the ceiling, it just hung there," says Hershman. To add a more flexible system (anything would have been an improvement), 10 PAR-64 1,000W long-life CSI lamps in Northstar fixtures were placed in a ceiling slot. These restrike immediately, making them usable for emergency lighting.
This new system also includes black PAR-38 LSI fixtures that are hung on a second pipe rail that has been added to the balcony fronts. "These look like more theatrical kit up there," says Hershman, who notes that they also cleaned and relamped the decorative fixtures under the balcony overhangs.
Other changes to the architectural lighting happened throughout some of the smaller spaces, such as the ladies' lounge on the second floor. Decorated with lovely floral murals and large circular mirrors, this room appears in historical photos that show internally-lit semicircular fixtures at the bottom of the mirrors. Yet other period photos show wall sconces on either side of the mirrors.
"We think the original semicircles didn't work very well and were replaced with the wall fixtures very early on," Hershman says. "But these were of a different quality than the rest of the project, and had just bare lamps in thin housings. We designed a new fixture based on themes found in the other lounges which is more in keeping with the room." The new substantial metal sconces made by Winona have heavy glass tubes to shield T-10 showcase lamps. In all the lounges, dimmers are used to increase lamp life.
One of the concerns in this project was the state of the original wiring. "There was some fear in taking the larger pieces down," says Hershman. Instead, the massive chandeliers in the Grand Foyer and other large decorative fixtures were restored in place, with a metal refinisher coming in to buff them up. The fixtures were cleaned and relamped, and as Hershman points out, extraneous lighting solutions that had been added were taken away.
For example, long wall brackets on the mirrors in the Grand Foyer had been relamped in the 1970s with multiple low-voltage lamps that looked like small separate points of light. "We tried to bring them back to their original look," says Hershman, who also opted for low-voltage lamps but added lenses and diffusers to make them look like one unified glowing source.
Also in the Grand Foyer, extra lighting was added in six new ceiling niches that were created with the permission of the Landmarks Commission. These contain four "curtain rakers" (LSI 250W PAR-38 accent lights) that wash the curtains on either side of the openings to the promenades, as well as four LSI PAR-56 fixtures which are focused on the floor, the balcony, and the concession stands.
Each of these niches will also contain four Martin Professional MAC 500 and MAC 600 automated luminaires that were specified but not included in the original bid (the building will add them at a later date). "We specified these for use at special events, and thought it was useful to have refocusable equipment as access is tricky," says Hershman, who found that employing theatrical stagehands helped them focus the job more quickly than might have been expected.
The niches are wired with DMX control from the ETC Sensor dimming system used for the theatrical lighting (the dimmers are in the same room as the new theatrical dimmers). The architectural lighting system also includes ETC Unison control, and an ETC Lighting Playback Controller for show control. An Expression II console is available for programming.
Hershman and Marantz also tackled a complete relight of the colorful neon marquee and signage on the exterior of the building. "We put a lot of effort into the marquee," explains Hershman, who found that it required some expensive maintenance, and that the owners weren't happy with the blue neon color. To solve the lamp burnout problem and increase reliability, the designers re-engineered the marquee to use smaller transformers, with fewer lamps per transformer.
The letter O in Radio has an outline, inner line, and central fill. "With separate transformers, if one fails you don't lose the whole letter," says Hershman. "The old clear tubes for the blue neon were not bright enough; specifying phosphor-coated tubes gave a higher lumen output and a lower-power transformer."
There were also what Hershman called "secret lights," because they literally could not be seen in a cove position. "We were unable to paint the cove, but by increasing the output of the lamps at least you can now see them at night," he says. "We also went back to the historic neon colors of the signs, such as Noviol gold."
FMS used the original specifications for the sign as a guideline for creating a new spec with the help of neon consultant Wayne Strattman of Boston, MA. "The key is to get colors you can reproduce if the lamps break," says Hershman. "We picked glass tube colors that exist in manufacturers' catalogs." FMS also made an illuminated model of part of the sign to check the colors. Broadway National Sign in Ronkonkoma, NY, won the contract to complete the refurbishment.
The goal of the architectural lighting was to integrate it into a landmark without it being intrusive. For example, new Edison Price fixtures were made to fit into existing ceiling cavities to accent the Fountain of Youth mural in the Grand Foyer.
"This is a fabulous building," says Hershman. "It was a blessing and a curse that it hadn't been touched since 1932. We wanted to bring it back to its former glory and meet today's requirements without imposing 1999 on it. The idea was to enhance it without taking away from its splendor."
Today, the building sparkles yet maintains the integrity and patina of its decorative heritage. "The enhancements either blend in or they look like they've always been there," Hershman concludes. "It looks like the fantastic Art Deco concert hall that opened in 1932. It's a beautiful new, old theatre."

For as little as $20 you can watch a video of the course.
Can’t find a way to qualify for the Boston Marathon? No worries! An innovative company, Outside Interactive, has come up a solution for you: watch a DVD of the course while running on a treadmill. “Some people may not be able to qualify for the Boston Marathon,” said Outside Interactive owner Gary McNamee. “This gives them the next best thing.”
The DVDs sell from $20 to $40 and offer runners the chance to watch the course from 7,8,9, or 10-minute-per-mile pace. They are designed to help runners who need inspiration when the weather outside isn’t cooperating.
“Jump on a treadmill and try to run more than a mile,” McNamee said. “If you’re bored, you’re a candidate.”
For a steeper price, $250, runners can purchase the company’s Virtual Runner Software System, which connects the video pace to a sensor on your sneaker.

I don’t know why they rated this movie 5.8/10 where in fact, I find it very good. I rated it as 9/10. It’s the first time that my husband cried on a thriller, mystery and a drama movie like this. I myself always cried (like usual). I guess it breaks our hearts seeing these girls fate in the end of the movie. If you haven’t seen it, well watch it now. It’s not freaky as what you think it is. It’s not a copy cat of a Korean horror story. There’s always a twist.

Gabe Morford x Vans Syndicate Pack
Coming from across the pond in San Francisco, Vans keeps the Bay Area collaborations in rhythm with Gabe Morford. Best known for his influence in the fixed gear culture, he is an extraordinary filmmaker, with his most recent work alongside filmmaker Mike Martin in their film MASH, becoming an instant classic. For this pack, three models are used, including the Half Cab, Era “S” and Slip-on “S”. Coming in black/white colorways, these are far from simple, including a combination of suede with the unique Benecke Ceraprene material which ensures maximum durability. Always on the edge of innovation, the Syndicate line breaks through once again for the Holiday 2008 Line. Stay tuned for further details. | <urn:uuid:7c7cb7f4-2662-4400-8453-28f5ed47abe2> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://hypebeast.com/2008/6/gabe-morford-x-vans-syndicate-pack | 2014-04-20T09:10:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609538110.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005218-00110-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.943704 | 161 | [

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale: Malibu Family Fun
Enjoying some family togetherness, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were spotted out and about in Malibu, California yesterday afternoon (August 5).
The “Hella Good” mommy and “Little Things” papa treated their sons Kingston and Zuma to lunch at Plate restaurant.
And it looks like little Zuma had a bit too much acting, as he ended up taking a nap in his pop star mother’s arms as they walked around town.
As for Gavin’s band Bush, they’re working on a new album called Everything Always Now and will be touring in the future.
Enjoy the pictures of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale with the kids in LA (August 5).

Shooting the Disney Dark Rides – Part 1
Shooting the dark rides at WDW can be frustrating and extremely challenging, but also fun and good practice for technique. First, a couple of small disclaimers: we’ve all heard the saying “it’s not the equipment, it’s the photographer,” which is fundamentally true. However, in the case of shooting dark rides (i.e. motion under low ambient light conditions), we have to face the fact that getting a decent exposure can be equipment prohibitive. Next, I present this article from the view of a DSLR user, since I have no experience in shooting dark rides with a p&s or micro 4/3rds camera. Finally, I don’t go into details of the post processing work because the main focus of this article is how to achieve better exposures on dark rides. After reading this, you may not come away with the ability to successfully shoot every dark ride scene at WDW, but hopefully you’ll pick up a few tips to allow you to walk away with a few keepers. This is a good time to point out the Golden Rule of photographing dark rides – turn off your flash!
I have always loved the Disney dark rides. As a child, those WDW visits with my family (during the late 70’s and all through the 80’s) are some of my fondest childhood memories. I always saw the dark rides as first hand visual proof of Disney magic in action (especially the Haunted Mansion, which remains my favorite attraction to this day). However, the ride scenes always seemed to go by too fast (and in the case of Peter Pan’s Flight, the entire ride is over in about 2.5 minutes). Being able to get a decent picture inside the ride gives you more time to spend with those scenes later. It gives you more time to study them and appreciate the extra attention to detail that the Imagineers crafted. It also helps to document your trip more fully if you have a completist mentality (like me). They can also challenge you to become a more technical photographer.
From a technical standpoint, shooting the dark rides can both test your knowledge of exposure and the triangular relationship between aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, and can also give you some great practice with your equipment (i.e. the ability to change settings without ever taking your eye out of the viewfinder). Of course it helps to know your equipment well before you begin shooting the dark rides, but you will likely find that you’re getting to know your equipment more and more after each trip through the Mansion, regardless if you walk away with any keepers or not.
First and foremost, as I said before, we have to accept the fact that some dark ride shooting can be equipment prohibitive. You may be a very good technical photographer, but if the widest aperture of your fastest lens is 3.5 and your camera’s sensor maxes out at ISO 1600, you will struggle to get decent exposures in the darker moving rides because of your equipment’s limits, no matter how proficient your skills (more on equipment later).
Another challenge is the ability to make good use of our camera’s auto-focus capabilities. Regardless of brand, in a dark scene where your camera cannot detect good contrast, your system will struggle to auto-focus. If you’ve ever tried to shoot a dark ride using auto focus, at some point you’ve probably ridden right through an entire scene missing the opportunity to get a shot off because your camera was hunting for something on which to lock focus.
If the darkness wasn’t tough enough, we also have to overcome movement on the rides, either the vehicle that you’re riding in, or movement of something in the particular scene you’re attempting to shoot. That’s why those of us who enjoy shooting the dark rides always hope for a ride to make an emergency stop (E-stop) in front of one of those difficult scenes. However, even when your ride vehicle stops, the movement of animatronics in the scenes does not stop, so you find yourself constantly fighting motion. The challenge becomes the ability to hold your camera still enough to use a slow enough shutter speed to let in enough light to expose the image, but a fast enough shutter speed to do it without blur either from camera shake or motion.
You can always study the EXIF from dark ride images that you like from others to see what settings they used to capture a particular scene. That’s how I got started and I highly recommend studying the shots of others, but I will share my general thought process on shooting the dark rides in the next part of this series.
Stay tuned for part two as Todd goes over his approach to shooting dark rides and the settings he uses. Part two will be posted on Wednesday morning. | <urn:uuid:a0b44559-e6a6-4b35-b1a7-8febd73fd753> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.disneyphotographyblog.com/shooting-the-disney-dark-rides-part-one/ | 2014-04-20T08:15:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609538110.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005218-00110-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947355 | 1,012 | [

A wet Thursday afternoon made for the perfect day to find the much sought after chupacabra (not the mythical goat sucker). Instead, Chupacabra’s the taqueria found at the corner of Ross and Fitzhugh in Dallas.
It was a quiet afternoon with only the cashier and cook in the market. There are several tables inside and a full menu of the typical taqueria options: tacos, tostadas, burritos, and tortas. Plus, there are several ice cream creations one can order too.
It would be shameful not ordering some cabrito (baby goat) at a place called Chupacabra, so I went with a couple goat tacos, some beef fajita, pastor (pork), and finally a chicken taco.
The homemade corn tortillas here are large and dipped in a decent amount of oil to refresh them before serving. Perhaps they were out of containers the day I went as the salsa roja was served in a ziplock sandwich baggie along with a baggie of lime wedges.
Jump for the full meal.
Unfortunately, each taco only included a few pieces of chopped onion and barely any cilantro.
The cabrito was the best of the four meats I tried. It’s a bit fatty, but it has a good flavor and isn’t as chewy as some goat meat I’ve had. The pastor, though, was very disappointing without much flavor and was done in a shredded pork style that lacked a rich flavor of so many pastor tacos found nearby.
My chicken taco was quite fatty too, as were the beef fajita tacos. Nothing really impressive, except for the cabrito (and it was only impressive item since it is difficult to find a good goat taco).
It’s too bad Chupacabra’s was not as impressive as a recent Fitzhugh gas station taqueria find from a couple weeks ago (see my review for Andy’s Food Mart.)
If you are looking for a decent goat taco, Chupacabra’s is the place for you. Beyond that I’d choose some better options in the area.

Top points for ballet company
The Royal New Zealand Ballet has arrived in Christchurch buoyed by nominations for two international awards.
The RNZB is a finalist for the outstanding company award in the 2011 British National Dance Awards. Other finalists include the English National Ballet, Mariinsky Ballet and Richard Alston Dance Company.
A former RNZB dancer, Cantabrian Andrew Simmons, has also become a finalist in the award's best classical choreography section for his piece A Song in the Dark, commissioned by the ballet in 2009.
The work is included in the RNZB's Christchurch season which opened last night in the CBS Arena.
Also on the programme is Aurora's Wedding, the final scene from The Sleeping Beauty starring Stella Abrera and Sergio Torrado, and the balcony pas de deux from Romeo and Juliet.
"We are absolutely blown away by the nomination for the awards," RNZB managing director Amanda Skoog says.
"We had a successful tour to the United Kingdom and France in July. Receiving this nod is the icing on the cake."
The awards will be announced in London in January.
The RNZB Christchurch season runs until tomorrow.

A once-in-a-lifetime storm that hit Melbourne early yesterday has left a multimillion-dollar trail of devastation, with hundreds of homes, shops, schools and other properties sustaining serious flood damage.
Large areas of the city's north and east were under water after a spectacular electrical storm dumped more than 100 millimetres of rain - almost twice the entire December average - in just two hours.
Emergency services were overwhelmed with calls for help from people who woke in the middle of the night to find their homes awash and from motorists left stranded by floodwaters blocking major roads and freeways.
Among the worst-hit areas were Coburg, Northcote, Fitzroy and Fairfield in the city's inner north, and Doncaster in the east, where 107 millimetres of rain was recorded.
"In terms of the amount of rain that fell in a very short period of time, it's a one-in-a-100-year type of event," the Bureau of Meteorology's Jon Gill said. "For some people it's certainly the worst they are likely to experience in their lifetime."
The Metropolitan Fire Brigade used boats to rescue motorists stranded on the Eastern Freeway at the Bulleen Road bridge, where water covering the road was more than a metre deep at 2.30am. "I could never image the fire brigade taking boats down the middle of the Eastern Freeway," rescue crew leader Joff Spencer said.
Emergency workers were forced to use alternative methods to send help during the storm because it hit during an operation to upgrade a computer dispatch system. Old-fashioned whiteboards had to be used to locate crews and many were dispatched via mobile phone.
There were no fatalities, but a taxi driver was dramatically rescued by SES volunteers in Lower Templestowe. Gary Rothschild was speaking by phone to his distressed girlfriend about her flooded house when he became trapped in his car as floodwaters raged around him. SES workers smashed the car windows to drag Mr Rothschild to safety.
In other incidents, a four-month-old baby in Northcote was saved by his parents as rising flood waters lapped the edge of his cot at the height of yesterday morning's storm.
And the Collingwood Football Club said floodwaters had damaged photographs, documents and other memorabilia held at McHale Stadium at Victoria Park. Experts advised the club that most of the items could be restored.
As property owners assessed the damage yesterday, the State Government announced that storm victims would be eligible for emergency grants of up to $7300 to help them return to their homes or businesses.
Premier Steve Bracks said grants of $900 would be available immediately to victims, while personal hardship grants of up to $7300 would be provided to those who had suffered significant damage or had been forced out of their homes.
The Insurance Disaster Response Organisation said the deluge caused tens of millions of dollars' damage to homes, cars and businesses. The state's largest insurer, RACV, said it had received a record number of calls for help.
In Fairfield, a 32-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man were arrested about 3.45am after allegedly looting damaged shops in Station Street. The pair were later released but were expected to be charged on summons.
the president of the Fairfield Traders Association, Domenic Biviano, said it was "disgusting" that looters would take advantage of flood victims.
Emergency Communications Victoria, which dispatches police, fire, ambulance and the SES, was doing a "routine upgrade" of computers at its Melbourne and Burwood dispatch centres when the storm hit. It proceeded with the upgrade after the Bureau of Meteorology downgraded an earlier severe storm warning.
Metropolitan Fire Brigade deputy chief fire officer Keith Adamson said an investigation would be launched into the why it went ahead during such conditions.
But ECV spokeswoman Sandra McLaren denied the upgrade affected emergency responses. "Manual mode is just a different way of processing the call," she said.
The highest rainfall of 108 millimetres was recorded at Viewbank, followed by 107 millimetres at Merri Creek and Doncaster. Melbourne's central business district recorded 38 millimetres, but only light falls were recorded in the city's main water catchment areas.

On the X-Men
Playing God and Discovering My Own Mutanity
By Joe Casey
Ladies and gentlemen, writing comic books is a strange way to make a living.
I know this from experience. For close to a decade now, it’s been my primary source of income. From a simple childhood dream to the career that eventually allowed me to buy a home and travel the world (if, by “the world,” you mean most of the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom and parts of Europe), writing comic books has not only been my job, it’s been my life. And I pretty much love my life.
But a career in anything is a journey. It contains ups and downs, highs and lows, triumphs and disappointments. Just like good comic book stories, I guess. And like any other career, there are stages of advancement, a proverbial ladder of success wherein a writer can climb from relative obscurity to the top of his or her field, sometimes in an alarmingly short amount of time. And in the realm of mainstream comic books, that usually involves writing the X-Men.
By now, you’ve probably all seen the movies. Maybe some of you have seen the animated cartoon series from the early ’90s. And, obviously, there are those of you who read, or at least knew about, the comic book series that spawned it all. You all know the concept of the X-Men—“mutants” born with extraordinary abilities, hated and feared by the world they are sworn to protect. Most of you are probably familiar with X-Men perennials like Wolverine, with his feral nature, …

My brother sent me a link to the Harp Twins a couple days ago. They're twins who arrange popular songs for the harp. Their slogan: "When One of a Kind Just Isn't Enough." That makes me giggle, but I enjoy their arrangements regardless. Harps used to be my favorite instrument, before cellos beat them out.

Brooklyn Uncorked 2008
Come join your food community at Edible Brooklyn's annual local-tasting soiree. The only place to sample the full suite of Long Island wines, from austere steel-fermented whites to robust reds to varietal roses, without getting on the L.I.E.
Based on the sell-out success of last years inaugural event, and the strong turnout from outer boroughs (Manhattanites made up half of last years attendees), this year Brooklyn Uncorked will spill over into the lobby of BAM, making way for an increased number of wineries, local craft beers and much more food.
Sample a selection of award-winning Long Island and New York microbrews, including Blue Point Brewery, Brooklyn Brewery, Heartland Brewery, Sixpoint Craft Ales, and Southampton Publick House.
In addition to cheese from Stinky Bklyn and Whole Foods Market, Long Island potato chips, palate-coolers from Wine Cellar Sorbets, freshly pressed coffees from Bodum, and natural sodas from Grown-up Soda (GuS), favorite neighborhood restaurants will be serving up samples, including Bonita, Flatbush Farm, iCi, La Maison du Couscous, Little D Eatery, Palo Santo, Smoke Joint, and Stonehome Wine Bar, as well as Great Performances caterers. Music will be provided by WLIU radio. Glasses are courtesy of Reidel.
Last year's event sold out, so reserve your spot now.
The event runs from 4-8 p.m. and tickets to the general public are $50.

*Comedian Sheryl Underwoood made her debut on CBS’s daytime chat show “The Talk” on Tuesday, occupying the end chair left vacant by Leah Remini.
“Saturday Night Live” veteran, Molly Shannon,” the other new host this season, takes over Holly Robinson Peete’s old seat, and started off the show’s second season with conversation about the car accident during her childhood that killed her mother and sister, and left her father with a lifelong leg injury.
Underwood continued the somber tone with a sad story of her own. During a discussion about Monday’s premiere of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” in the wake of Russell’s Armstrong’s suicide, Underwood revealed that her husband had committed suicide early in their marriage…. But she couldn’t resist a little humor at the end.

Steel Dynamics Plans $18.5M IN Expansion
BUTLER, Ind. (AP) — Steel Dynamics plans to spend $18.5 million on expanding and buying new equipment for a northeastern Indiana plant that is the company's largest.
The Fort Wayne-based company has told DeKalb County officials that it plans to start construction this summer on the project at the factory in the city of Butler and have work finished within a year.
The Star of Auburn reports (http://bit.ly/LLdbNq ) that the company's property tax abatement application says it will spend $6.7 million in a building addition and $11.8 million in new equipment, including cranes and coil-handling machinery.
About 630 people now work at the mill some 25 miles north of Fort Wayne and the company says it could add about 15 jobs with the expansion. | <urn:uuid:326981c3-878b-4ab0-a37e-632f52cf0394> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://www.impomag.com/news/2012/06/steel-dynamics-plans-185m-expansion?qt-recent_content=1 | 2014-04-20T18:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1397609538824.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20140416005218-00118-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.953902 | 180 | [

The Spurs are close to announcing the signing of veteran free agent forward Ime Udoka, who played for the club in 2007-08 and 2008-09.
The Spurs on Tuesday waived second-year pro Danny Green after just one week with the team. Udoka’s signing will bring them back to the NBA’s 13-player minimum.
A hard-nosed defender capable of guarding both small forwards and power forwards, Udoka averaged 5.8 points and 3.1 rebounds in his first season with the Spurs and was a solid contributor in their Western Conference semifinals series victory over the Hornets. His playing time and averages dipped a bit in 2008-09, when he scored 4.3 points and grabbed 2.8 rebounds in 67 games.
It is expected Udoka will sign for the seven-year veteran minimum, $1.146 million. | <urn:uuid:a86143ea-870c-46cb-be52-9e022fe14f38> | CC-MAIN-2014-15 | http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2010/11/23/udoka-on-way-back-to-spurs/ | 2014-04-23T12:24:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2014-15/segments/1398223202548.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20140423032002-00150-ip-10-147-4-33.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.960136 | 177 | [
