What a complicated love life you’ve lead. Your first love vanishes so you’re left all alone, you meet your second love and it blossoms into a totally committed relationship. Just when you’re about to tie the knot, your first love returns from, for lack of a better term – exile – and your life is thrown for a loop. Why do you think Bashar came back?
I think that Bashar came back for closure.
What did Thad have to say when you told him about Bashar’s return?
I didn’t tell him right away but when I did, Thad really lost it. He thinks that Bashar is up to no good. Why else would he return?
What made you fall in love with both men?
They are both amazing but in a different way.
If you’re still in love with your first, did you ever really love the second?
I think first loves are special and you always hold a place in your heart for them. I‘m not so sure I was in love with Bashar all of those years we were apart. We had four amazing years together before we separated. Of course, I loved Thad, but not in the way I had loved Bashar. He was the love of my life! Thad made me love again, but he didn’t make me fall in love with him, not that it mattered. It is only a matter of time before that will happen, I am sure.
If you could go back in time and stop Bashar from leaving, would you?
Oh hell yeah! But being the man I know Bashar to be, I know he would have left. My tears couldn’t drown out the principle character of who he is as a man. I have and always will accept that.
Have you thought about what you’re going to do now that Bashar has returned? Have you talked to either man about it?
Nothing has changed as far as I am concerned. I am still marrying Thad and Bashar is aware of that. However, I must admit, there seems to be an elephant in the room when I am with either Thad or Bashar.
Have your “girls” tried to sway you to choose one or the other?
My “girls” are terrified for me. They think this situation to too hot to handle knowing my history with both men. They are torn and want me to be happy. One in particular thinks that Thad is the one for me, although she admits Bashar understands me better.
We know that lovemaking is your release, we hate to ask, but are all men the same or do men of different cultures and or races make love and treat women differently?
I believe that each culture expresses love in a unique way that is most natural to them. Bashar was my first lover. In my experience, I found that Bashar, a Chaldean American loved me completely and deeply. Our love life was constantly reaching new heights, but we haven’t been together sexually in almost 15 years. I love him, and I accept him. With Thad, initially, he couldn’t wait to show me what he was made of. There was serious lust going on. He was proud of his sexual prowess and wasn’t shy expressing himself. I benefited from that. Thad isn’t as open about what his goals are for us are as a couple. He’s changing his mind all the time about his views on his career, and children. I’m starting to feel uncomfortable.
As a beautiful black woman what feature turns men on the most – it’s not your booty is it? | <urn:uuid:0f3e801f-0234-40d7-8b5a-5d9fc216c21f> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://theplotline.wordpress.com/2008/09/26/vina-st-fran-interviews-cyndarella-worthy-of-one-foot-outside-the-door/ | 2017-11-19T01:20:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805242.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119004302-20171119024302-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.984344 | 769 | [

We all face the truth that learning English has become an essential part of our education. Not only because this is an international language but also to broaden our horizons of thoughts. Instead of wasting your time doing nothing, take a book of English and pick up
some of it!
When studying English I came across many difficulties. Everyone enjoys the “listening part”, but to your surprise, I have always had problems with it. I was deaf as a post. Not only didn’t I hear the words, but I also couldn’t focus on the material. But I did my best to face the problem and I started to watch and listen to a lot of English language programmes. It was both pleasant and useful!
I also loathed it when I was forced to learn hundreds of words to develop my vocabulary. Always, when I reeled off the list of English words which I was supposed to learn, I was confused and horrified. But I found a great solution to this problem. I started to make groups of words and associate them with some funny things. This way of learning was amusing and effective.
What helped me most to make progress in English was a trip to England. I believe that the best way to learn a foreign language is to go to the country where it's spoken as a mother tounge. There, want it or not, you have to use the language to communicate with others. What’s more, you get to know a different culture and develop your knowledge of the world. You become more tolerant and open for challenges because learning English is not only grinding grammar but also a great possibility to develop your general knowledge about life.
Take your chance and pick up some English! Believe me, you won’t regret it in future. This is one of the best investments you will ever make! | <urn:uuid:b2d166a7-5d73-4a95-b17f-6de336016b0a> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.wiadomosci24.pl/artykul/take_your_chance_and_pick_up_some_english_you_can_do_it_70997.html | 2017-11-19T19:55:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805761.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119191646-20171119211646-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.983046 | 376 | [

Funny how this album cover and the songs within made such an impression on me at such a young age. Fans of Al Green’s music, my parents of course had this hit album in the Seventies. At the time, that white wicker chair was the most regal thing I had ever beheld. Al’s cool, confident pose, the white shag carpeting, the hanging asparagus fern and everything pictured on the cover fed my budding notions of style and romanticism. To this day, Al Green remains my favorite soul singer, every song on the album can move my tender heart to tears, and I’ll forever consider myself Al’s greatest fan.
Apparently, I’m hardly the only one influenced by the album. Rolling Stone has ranked “I’m Still In Love With You” among the greatest albums of all time.
Today, April 13, is Al Green’s birthday and coincidentally I find myself en route to The Soul of Philanthropy exhibit opening in Arkansas, the home state of my beloved soul singer. Since it’s National Poetry Month (and I’m behind on my daily poem posts), below is an inspired haiku. And I bet you can guess who I’ll be listening to during today’s flight to Little Rock. — VF

PM2.5 Forecast for Beijing - Saturday, May 4, 2013
Saturday's PM2.5 forecast for Beijing is similar to Friday's but presents a chance for better air. It is most likely that we'll see air in the Unhealthy range for the entire day, but there is a decent chance of dipping into Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups and a slight chance of moving all the way down to Moderate during the afternoon and evening hours. | <urn:uuid:506c4c7a-8f4a-4c8a-833a-c60db847c7d9> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://beijingair.blogspot.com/2013/05/pm25-forecast-for-beijing-saturday-may.html | 2017-11-21T09:51:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806338.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121094039-20171121114039-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.921269 | 119 | [

New Delhi (Sputnik) — With France pushing for the sale of more Rafale combat jets to India, India's main opposition party, the Indian National Congress (INC), has charged the Narendra Modi-led government with violating serious defense purchase rules and has alleged that the Rafale deal undermines national interest and national security.
Citing a the series of questionable developments that led to the signing of the "costly" Rafale deal, the INC has demanded Prime Minister Narendra Modi answer every doubt the opposition has about the deal.
"Why is the Modi government buying 36 Rafale aircraft at a highly inflated price compared to the originally negotiated base price by the previous government? Is it not correct that the Modi government is buying 36 Rafale aircraft without the transfer of technology for $8.7 billion while the previous government had negotiated 126 Rafale aircraft at a base price of $10.2 billion along with the transfer of technology," Randeep Singh Surjewala, principal spokesperson of INC said.
The corruption allegation comes just a few days after the French defense minister along with Dassault Chairman Eric Trappier laid the foundation stone of Dassault Reliance Aerospace Limited's (DRAL's) manufacturing facility at Mihan in India. The plant is expected to start production as early as 2018, and the first Rafale is expected to land in India in 2019. During his recent Indian tour, Trappier tried to evade the Indian media's question on why Dassault had inflated the price of 36 Rafale. "You have to ask the [Indian] government this question," Trappier had replied. | <urn:uuid:0e903040-85cb-442c-b69d-fec69a1292fe> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://sputniknews.com/asia/201711151059116739-rafale-india-scam/ | 2017-11-21T10:05:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806338.36/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121094039-20171121114039-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.965742 | 326 | [

Storyboarding For Home Videos
There are a few basic points in the video making process that clearly delineate the pro from the amateur.
Obviously a number of these points come down to superior technical expertise available, superior equipment or a superior budget.
In fact for the most part the amateur video maker pretty well has NO budget!
However there are points on which you as a video maker can compete with the big boys and use techniques they use to improve your results.

When Tiger Woods spoke at halftime of the Stanford vs. Cal game after being inducted into the Stanford Athletics Hall of Fame, he was met with a chorus of boos. The game was played at Stanford, but as you can hear, enough Cal fans were in the stands to make a difference. Tiger, who is seemingly impervious to anything fazing him off his game, actually appeared fazed. WHO BOOS ME?
But after an awkward pause, he regained his composure and finished his not-so-inspiring speech by declaring, “The second half is ours.” Unfortunately, his prophesy came up short as Stanford lost 34-28 after their QB threw a last-minute interception. | <urn:uuid:965e9cce-c0af-40e6-aa16-b72334d1640b> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.weiunderpar.com/2009/11/23/254727113/ | 2017-11-23T18:31:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806856.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123180631-20171123200631-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.994275 | 144 | [

MIRACLE WORKERS REACH END OF THE ROAD

Boosting employment and production are the elusive goals of today’s central bankers.
If it’s broke, fix it. Central bankers are taking on new activist roles with added responsibilities for promoting economic growth, as well as financial stability. With fiscal stimulus off the table in an age of austerity, the central banks of the world are entering the trenches and buying up risky assets and in some notable cases, including Switzerland and Japan, entering into the currency wars with massive intervention.
Even the European Central Bank (ECB), whose sole mandate is to fight inflation, is purchasing the debt of countries such as Spain and Italy to keep yields from rising and contagion from spreading. Meanwhile, the legacy central banks of the eurozone, such as the once powerful German Bundesbank, retain their bloated staffs—there are still 9,000 Bundesbankers—but lack the power to print money or do much else, outside of administrative and operational functions.
To its credit, the Bundesbank may have found a new role as public advocate amid the debt crisis swirling in Europe. The eurozone’s rescue plan, which includes expanded powers for the European Financial Stability Facility, will weaken the foundations of the currency union and increase the tendency of member countries to build up debts, the Bundesbank warned in its August monthly report, even as German chancellor Angela Merkel was trying to drum up support for the proposal within her own government.
While criticizing the ECB, the Bundesbank itself has been lending hundreds of billions of dollars to the central banks of Spain, Portugal, Greece and Ireland since the financial crisis hit. As of the end of last year, the Bundesbank was owed $470 billion from other central banks.
No Magic Wand
Meanwhile, it was revealed in August that the US Federal Reserve provided as much as $1.2 trillion in public money to banks and other companies between August 2007 and August 2010 to fight the credit crunch, eclipsing the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program that allowed the Treasury to purchase underwater assets from financial institutions.
Following a month of relentless selling, the financial markets rallied in late August in anticipation of a miracle from Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, who was expected to wave a magic wand in a widely anticipated speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and make the stalled US economy all better. Instead, Bernanke spoke of the limits of the Fed’s powers and signalled that the US central bank would not take any immediate action to boost growth.
“The country would be well served by a better process for making fiscal decisions,” Bernanke said. The political brouhaha over raising the US debt ceiling had disrupted the financial markets and probably the economy as well, he added.
“Most of the economic policies that support robust economic growth in the long run are outside the province of the central bank,” the Fed chief said. Bernanke simply repeated that the Fed had a range of tools that could be used to provide additional monetary stimulus, while a third round of quantitative easing was not mentioned. He already had promised to keep interest rates exceptionally low, at least until mid-2013, and said the Fed would do anything it can to support the economy.
The Fed is also facing criticism from Republican presidential candidates, such as Texas governor Rick Perry, who said he would consider it treasonous if Bernanke “prints more money between now and the election” in 2012.
Many central banks with large foreign currency reserve positions are continuing to diversify away from the dollar. That move could accelerate in the wake of the US losing its triple-A credit rating from Standard & Poor’s.
Central bankers throughout Asia ex-Japan began normalizing monetary policies in the second half of 2009. Not only did they start mopping up excess liquidity, but they also followed with a series of interest rate increases in 2010 that have continued until recently. While economic growth in Asia recovered quickly from the global crisis and remains strong, the return to normalcy in interest rates is now being delayed.
Apart from their roles turning on and off the monetary spigots and operating payment and settlement systems, central banks also are responsible for the stability of the financial system. In the wake of the financial crisis, central bankers are increasingly aware of their responsibilities for driving prudential policies on a macro level to prevent systemic failures and global contagion.
“Central banks are taking on an expanded role in financial regulation and supervision,” says Jaime Caruana, general manager of the Bank for International Settlements. “These responsibilities bring with them new powers, but also new institutional setups that remain to be worked out in detail.”
In a speech in July at the South African Reserve Bank’s 90th anniversary seminar in Pretoria, Caruana warned that unusually and persistently low interest rates, together with the provision of ample funding, could delay the incentives to adjust and recognize losses. “Over time, the inflation fighting credibility of central banks is likely to suffer if they pursue this type of monetary policy in an environment of high public debt and rising commodity prices,” Caruana says. “The well-known arguments for central bank independence in the context of price stability apply with even greater force in the context of financial stability.”
Financial stability objectives are difficult to quantify, making accountability harder to achieve. A central bank’s exercise of its new powers needs to be underpinned by arrangements that safeguard its operational independence, Caruana says.
In our Central Banker Report Cards, published annually by Global Finance since 1994, we grade central bankers of key countries on an “A” to “F” scale for success in areas such as inflation control, economic growth goals, currency stability and interest rate management, and their determination to stand up to political interference and maintain their independence.
We commend those central bankers who have performed well in the past 12 months, making difficult and controversial decisions under trying circumstances.
We also highlight the shortcomings of those who have complied with the demands of the political officials who appointed them and who have followed wrong-headed policies. Nobody failed, although a few came close. | <urn:uuid:f62a76c3-862a-4c72-882a-3e1e3b3a1fad> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.gfmag.com/magazine/october-2011/central-banker-report-cards-2011 | 2017-11-24T12:45:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808133.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124123222-20171124143222-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.961044 | 1,275 | [

Sorry there has been a break in communications. The guys from University of Exeter have been over at Strangford Lough, and, with two canon-netters (Stuart Bearhop from UoE, and local, Kerry Mackie from WWT) around, combined with a variety of helpers from across the country, it has been all hands-on-deck, trying to catch birds on the inter-tidal zone. Historically these early-season catches have been particularly difficult, as the birds are flighty, and not easy to "twinkle" (our term for walking the birds into the net!).
So it has proven again. Yesterday saw 8 geese, all adults, caught at Greyabbey, and today, in high winds, following a THIRD positioning of a net, the "lone ranger", which was a juvenile. As a lone juvenile, this was of some concern, but, on release, it was thankfully observed to fly off with another bird.
Net setting shot:
The "Lone Ranger":
Tomorrow sees more recce work, hopefully for a last chance catch (this time!) on Monday! | <urn:uuid:0b6d0c8d-c629-44c3-bc39-78aca879711d> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://irishbrentgoose.blogspot.com/2014/10/ | 2017-11-25T07:23:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809695.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125071427-20171125091427-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.968267 | 235 | [

A census is a counting of all individuals within a given area where more specific demographic information is usually collected as well. The United States government began in 1790 and the authority for it comes from the Constitution, which calls for a population survey every 10 years. Other major countries followed in the 19th century. It is a major topic in Demography.
In 2009, the Obama Administration took the unprecedented step of moving control of the 2010 U.S. census from the Commerce Department to direct control by the White House and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. Many congressional Republicans believe this was done as a "power grab" by the administration in order to manipulate congressional redistricting nationwide to favor Democrats. Additionally, it was discovered that the partisan, pro-Obama, fraud-laden group ACORN would assist in the census.
Jesus was born during a Roman census dictated by Augustus Caesar. Because of this census and the decree that all inhabitants were to register based on their tribal House, Joseph had to go back to Bethlehem. If the census had never occurred, then Jesus would not have been born in Bethlehem. | <urn:uuid:cf03aac4-ec0c-400e-9ba2-d14e419081b3> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Census&oldid=856988 | 2017-11-25T07:57:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809695.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125071427-20171125091427-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.963248 | 221 | [

Because I'm such a nice guy, I'll show you what you missed in the Rob vs. Michelle Shining Elk debate. You can see her responses to my Valenti: Movies Are Merely Movies posting here. It'll probably mean getting a Facebook membership and "friending" Michelle, but those aren't difficult to do:
@Rob Schmidt. Part 1 of 2
@Rob Schmidt. Part 2 of 2
You'll see the quality of the debates you missed. Angry vituperation and scathing personal attacks--and I'm not talking about me. Really, should I have cluttered my blog with these exchanges?
I haven't read all the comments, since I'm not interested in proving myself superior, arguing for the sake of arguing, etc. I don't think she or her friends addressed a single issue I raised, but let me know if I'm wrong. In fact, let me know if anybody said anything that contributed to the debate.
So much for the claim that I'm silencing people. That's the real point of this, not forcing you to join Facebook. As Michelle did, you're free to go elsewhere and criticize me to your heart's content. Her Facebook postings prove her ability to speak.
FYI, this blog isn't a forum where everyone gets to say what they want. It's a forum for me to voice my opinions first and others to voice their opinions a distant second. You don't enter someone's home and attack him and you don't enter my cyber-home and attack me. There's been too much of that and it's about to end.
Again, the only thing I'm keeping out is the ignorant and insulting comments I've seen many times before. Comments such as the ones in the postings above. If they're your cup of tea, enjoy your Facebook friendship with Michelle. I don't need or want people who respond like that.

In January, KTVB and the Idaho Transportation Department Office of Highway Safety challenged Idaho high school students to create an original video persuading other to put down their phones and just drive. The Just Drive Video Challenge winner was announced on March 31, with a prize of $500. That same day, an anonymous donor saw the winning students on KTVB’s News at 4:00 and gave KTVB another $500 to add to the prize money. So Dee Sarton and Kim Fields set out with surprise prize money in hand for the next 5 runners-up.

HOPATCONG, N.J. (AP) — Two New Jersey boys who authorities say were taken by their father in a custody dispute have been found safe in Florida.
Hopatcong Police Lt. Thomas Kmetz tells NJ.com Kristopher Dohm was found with his sons at the Royal Palm Inn in New Port Richey, Florida, late Wednesday night.
Dohm was taken to the Pasco County Jail. He's accused him of interference with custody and unlawful flight.
Authorities say Dohm left New Jersey with 8-year-old Parker and 7-year-old Jaxon in violation of a custody agreement in early February.
Their mother reported them missing on Feb. 9 after Dohm failed to bring the children to her Roxbury Township home.
According to a Facebook page created after the children disappeared, Sandra Dohm was headed to Florida to get her sons.

A new National Incursion Response Plan for Terrestrial Snakes has been launched to provide important information and procedures that can be used by biosecurity specialists and professional snake handlers to respond to terrestrial snake incursions in Australia.
The plan was developed through the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre in consultation with the Invasive Animals and Plants Committee (IPAC) Vertebrate Pest Incursions Expert Group and the Australian, State, and Territory Governments.
Bruce M Christie, IPAC Chair said this plan is an important tool to enable governments to be prepared to respond to an incursion from new invasive snake species.
“Australia faces a new wave of vertebrate pest threats, arising from illegal importation, escapes from illegal keeping in Australia, and as hitchhikers in the international movement of goods and people,” said Mr Christie.
Dr Michelle Christy, the Invasive Animals CRC National Incursions Response Facilitator, based at the Department of Agriculture and Food, WA said that snakes on a plane are a real phenomenon.
“Recently, a snake from Brisbane hitchhiked to New Zealand, while another was accidently left behind by a passenger on a flight to Alaska.
“A range of exotic snakes are illegally kept in Australia and now and then they are found in the wild, often by a member of the public. For example, there were nine boa constrictors and thirty corn snakes ceased due to illegal keeping between 2010 and 2015.
“In the same period, more than 1550 non-native vertebrate detections of 126 species were reported in Australia, of which almost half were reptiles,” Dr Christy said.
To reduce the risks posed by new and emerging vertebrate pests, Australia is committed to improving national incursion management and the development of this plan is part of the improvement process.
The plan focuses on 5 of the 17 snake families present around the world that, if established in Australia, would have detrimental impacts on our environment, human health and agricultural industries.
“The plan outlines key issues such as the snake’s impacts, risk of incursion and establishment, and methods for responding to an incursion.
“Developing preparedness information for possible snake invasions is particularly important since reptiles like snakes pose a particularly high incursion risk,” Dr Christy said.
The risk is not just limited to aircraft. Snakes frequently stowaway on ships, trucks, trains and cars, are smuggled through the postal system, or released or escape from captivity.
“Once in Australia, snakes have a high chance of establishing. We don’t want to follow the path of Florida, Guam or Japan where invasive snakes have caused catastrophic ecological and economic damage.” Dr Christy said.
The new national snake plan forms part of an integrated emergency incursion preparedness and response system to ensure that Australia is well prepared in the event of nationally significant incursions. Used by incursion response specialists, it provides the processes and procedures necessary to effectively manage a snake incursion.
The National Incursions Response Plan for Terrestrial Snakes can be downloaded via PestSmart at www.pestsmart.org.au/national-incursion-response-plan-for-terrestrial-snakes
Sightings of exotic snakes in the wild or being illegally kept in Australia should be reported to the National Pest Hotline 1800 084 881.

WASHINGTON — The troubling plagiarism scandal of Sen. John Walsh (D-Montana) grew stranger today, after he told reporters that in addition to post-traumatic stress disorder being a possible cause for his plagiarizing one-third of his Army War College master’s thesis, it may have also led him to seek out a Russian mistress, embezzle money, and cheat during a game of Monopoly with his grandchildren.
Speaking to reporters, Walsh claimed PTSD forced him to cheat on his taxes in 2009 by hiding almost half of his financial assets in offshore accounts. The struggling senator also asserted that PTSD had caused him to seek out a Russian mistress, whom he ordered from an online catalog, and blamed his chronic halitosis and being unable to brush his teeth after supposedly discovering an IED hidden in his toothbrush at Camp Victory.
Sources confirmed that the trauma of Iraq had even made him forge his Starbucks frequent-customer punch card last week.
Since the news has come to light, Robert MacDonald, the new head of the Veterans Administration, has released a statement in defense of the embattled democratic senator.
“I call on all Americans to take this opportunity to reflect on the horrors of post-traumatic stress,” MacDonald began, praising Walsh’s heroism. “Millions of veterans are affected by this terrible affliction, with symptoms ranging from credit-card fraud all the way up to having sex with your biographer in a Kabul command conference room, or making disparaging remarks about the vice president to a biased, left-wing periodical.”
While many are still skeptical of the senator’s motives, claiming that PTSD is not a “get-out-of-jail free card” to be used as an excuse for any and all wrongdoing, veterans across the country stand in support of Sen. Walsh.
“I know how he feels. I had sex with my best friend’s wife,” said Army Sergeant Herman Miles, confessing that four grueling months in Iraq as a fuel clerk had forever changed him. “PTSD made me do it.”
“It even made me misfile a travel voucher in DTS,” he added.
Jamarcus Washington, a former Marine lance corporal, also stood behind the Senator.
“Of course I support him,” Washington told reporters. “I understand just how badly PTSD can affect your life. When I got back from Afghanistan I couldn’t bear to pay my child support. Just thinking about all the stuff I saw made it impossible to write the checks.”
At press time, Sen. Walsh was seen writing “PTSD” on the line for the tip after a $500 dinner at a high-class Washington D.C. restaurant.

Four Best Practices for Asset Management
How to think about scope, virtualization, mobility, compliance, and distributed workforce in tracking equipment and applications.
By Cameron Laird, Vice President, Phaseit, Inc.
You have your data centers humming nicely: well-designed physically, with good policies for refreshes and maintenance, explicit designs for storage growth and disaster recovery, and tidy cabling practices. It's all working according to plan -- except that keeping track of all the parts remains a time-consuming exercise in tedium. Isn't there a better way than laboriously entering hand-written notes in spreadsheets copied haphazardly depending on who last worked in the area?
Yes, there is a better way: "asset management" (ITAM, for information technology asset management, sometimes known as computer inventory management) applications have tackled exactly this situation for decades. Here's what you need to know to make the most of the offerings in enterprise-scale asset management:
A Clipboard in Your Server Closet is Not an Effective Management Tool
Understand clearly that "hand-maintenance" does not work, even when it's assigned as the single highest priority to one dedicated employee. If the answer to, "which hosts are licensed to run a database instance?" or "what operating-system releases are connected to the 111.222.17 subnet?", involves tracing your finger through a hand-drawn Visio diagram, you're fighting a losing battle. Rather than explain all the pitfalls of this and related approaches, the focus here is on what can be successful. Make your computer assets work for you, not the other way around.
What's the alternative to "manual" tracking of assets? Although any realistic solution still involves plenty of human effort, you must identify a technology that at least makes it relatively easy for your asset repository to validate itself, and "scale" with your operations. In ITAM vernacular, you need "agents" configured on each asset to report "live," current conditions. At a practical minimum, this means a reliable database manager connected to tools with the power to interrogate those agents and ensure the accuracy of the database contents. Network-attached resources generally can be configured to run SNMP (simple network management protocol) agents; at that point, it's natural for tools to report, for example, "this subnet has eighteen computer hosts, four printers, one VoIP server, and two storage arrays active; the printers are named ..."
Best Practice #1: Determine the Scope
The first challenge of your ITAM effort is to decide on its scope. You must have an explicit policy or project for ITAM, and it must be online. If you do anything less -- if you just assume you can ask your front-line users when a need arises, for example -- you'll create more frustration than you’ll save. An explicit statement is a minimum.
What's the maximum? On the "high end" you'll eventually have the opportunity to extend ITAM to integrate hardware and software, to integrate it with accounting for financial measurement and planning, and to tie in to such enterprise-level functions as inventory and life-cycle management (including refreshes, acquisition, and disposal), disaster recovery, compliance, logistics or supply-chain rationalization, strategy, and process improvement.
Most organizations are probably best served by starting with modest goals: tracking computing units and networks. With basic ITAM in place, the organization will be in a better position to judge more comprehensive and complex projects; at that point, expertise at the level of the International Association of Information Technology Asset Managers becomes worthwhile.
What product do you buy to start with ITAM? Perhaps none; even though fundamental architectures have changed little in 30 years, and there has been an active market of ITAM offerings throughout that span, no dominant commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product has emerged in a convincing fashion. At least since the '80s, it has been possible to purchase slick graphical user interface (GUI) consoles that purport to map all IT assets, allow "real-time drill-down" to technical details, and even, in the best cases, are sufficiently programmable to integrate with other decision-support applications. The diversity of engineering practices in commercial operation is one reason this sector has never been "commoditized" as one might expect: every substantial data center in my experience ends up essentially writing and maintaining its own ITAM solution.
A good milestone, therefore, is to download and install a no-charge product such as SysAid Asset Management, an evaluation version such as Express Software Manager, a SAAS ITAM solution (for example, SAManage), or one of the open-source software suites. Experiment to learn what ITAM features matter in your organization.
Best Practice #2: Keep Virtualization in Mind
Virtualization presents one of the biggest current challenges--and opportunities!--for ITAM. Fifteen years ago, organizations used ITAM to solve problems such as: which servers are under-utilized and due for retirement, or overloaded and performing poorly? Now we worry: what virtual machines are due to be culled because they no longer provide useful services? What does our historic use of virtual resources project for physical requirements? What access paths are there between physical and virtual environments, and how are they firewalled?
In assessing proprietary ITAM software, make sure it adequately accounts for your organization's requirements to track virtualized machines, which are often deployed and recycled a hundred times or more as quickly as physical assets.
Best Practice #3: Incorporate Your Mobility Needs into your ITAM Evaluation
Mobility is the other great contemporary trend in computing, along with virtualization, and it also directly affects ITAM and our requirements of ITAM. Instead of a relatively sedentary population of servers and desktop hosts on our networks, organizations now have responsibility for laptops and handhelds which move around daily, and sometimes from minute to minute. Just as with virtualization, this is both a challenge and an opportunity: not all ITAM solutions have in the past handled mobile elements correctly, but, when they do, the result is a big improvement over what manual asset tracking can achieve.
A robust ITAM that integrates with security and accounting contributes to management of such questions as:
- How should costs for support of an intranet application be allocated?
- Can we identify which endpoints are currently accessing private customer data?
- Is it feasible to write rules that "lock out" a remote handheld immediately when it exhibits a pattern of usage that suggest it has been lost or stolen?
Best Practice #4: Incorporate ITAM into Your Compliance Initiatives
The pervasive managerial pattern that all organizations share nowadays is compliance: are employees acting in accord with process-expressed requirements? ITAM has plenty to contribute here. A necessary step for legal control over all archival data is to be able to inventory all storage, for example. A second example: correctness of licensing crucially depends on the completeness of the inventory of installed licenses and products. These examples are only the beginning; essentially every compliance proposition will need to be informed by current results from ITAM.
A Final Word
ITAM is a great investment to make: you're already inventorying your computing assets somehow, and ITAM is just a structure for making those efforts pay off. Account for the four best practices as they apply in your specific situation, and you're well on the way to a rewarding project.

Longtime host of “Jeopardy!” Alex Trebek, has often called game shows, “the best kind of reality television” for the way they encapsulate the American dream. On his show, he says, anyone can earn success with enough wit and skill. Now a donation from Trebek to the National Museum of American History of several items from his popular game show cements that idea in popular culture. In a new partnership with the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, the museum accepted a cache of items, representing three categories of the Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards–daytime dramas, game shows and children’s programming.
Trebek, who was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Daytime Emmy Award in 2011 as well as five Daytime Emmy awards, contributed a script with handwritten notes from one of his 1984 shows. Also making a donation was the 1999 Daytime Emmy Award-winner Susan Lucci, better known as Erica Kane from the popular soap opera “All My Children;” and 2001 award-winners Kathy and Phil Parker, creators of the 1990s children’s television program, “Barney & the Backyard Gang.” Lucci’s pink gown and shoes from her cover of People magazine played colorful companion to the plush purple dinosaur that was donated along with the script from the first “Barney” video.
“Game shows have been an important part of daytime television since the 1940s,” says curator Dwight Blocker Bowers, “when the radio series, ‘Truth or Consequences,’ made its debut as a television show.” The show selected ordinary citizens as contestants to answer trivia questions and to perform zany stunts. Over time, he says, the questions got tougher and the prizes, bigger.
We talked with Trebek at the donation ceremony:
Why has the show enjoyed so much success since its debut in 1964?
It’s a quality program and it appeals to the aspects of American life that are very important to us: opportunity, we give everyone an opportunity to compete even if you’re an ordinary citizen. It doesn’t matter what your background is, you can compete on our program and do well if you have knowledge. You can fulfill one of the American dreams, which is to make a lot of money. You’re not going to be elected president just because you appear on ‘Jeopardy.’ Although we’ve had ‘Jeopardy’ winners in the past who have done very well in the public arena. One of them is the current director of our consumer affairs department, nominated by President Obama. He was a ‘Jeopardy’ winner and in fact, when he first ran for Congress in Ohio, his bumper sticker said, ‘The answer is.’
We are now part of Americana so we’re accepted, people know us, they like us, we’re familiar, we’re part of the family.
If you were a contestant what would your biographical detail be?
I’m willing to try everything once. I’m just thinking back to sky-diving, scuba-diving, running military equipment, flying in a F-16 and taking 8Gs, parachuting, it doesn’t matter. I’m a little too old now to get out and do that stuff but there are a few things on my bucket list.
You’ve been hosting since 1984. Are we getting smart or dumber?
There are bright people in all walks in life and probably in the same percentage as there have always been. We’re attracting more of them so people think America is getting smarter, I don’t know about that.
But not dumber?
Some people are. | <urn:uuid:32de0590-15a2-4b81-b61e-a180767c1d36> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/alex-trebek-on-why-jeopardy-represents-the-american-dream-57102666/ | 2017-11-19T21:58:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119210640-20171119230640-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.967622 | 800 | [

NEW YORK, May 1 (UPI) -- Cab drivers offered donations to the Nunez family in the wake of the tragic car accident that killed seven of their relatives in New York, police said.
On the way to a family gathering Sunday, the speeding SUV carrying three generations of the Nunez family struck a center divider on the Bronx River Parkway and ricocheted across two lanes of traffic before vaulting off an overpass. The New York Daily News reported the car fell 60 feet into the Bronx Zoo, killing all passengers on impact.
The accident took the lives of Jacobo Nunez, 84; his wife Ana Julia, 80; their two daughters, Maria Nunez, 39, and Maria Nunez-Gonzalez, 45; Maria Nunez's daughters Niely, 7, and Marly, 3; and Maria Nunez-Gonzalez's daughter Jocelyn, 10.
Nunez-Gonzalez's husband, Juan Gonzalez, is a livery cab driver. Elegance Car Service stepped up and made the first donation of $1,000 to the family, with other car companies raising money to follow suit. The estimated cost of burying seven people is at least $100,000.
"The family is destroyed right now," Gonzalez told the New York Post. "We lost three generations."
Gonzalez says the bodies of Jacobo Nunez and Ana Julia need to be sent to the Dominican Republic for burial. | <urn:uuid:411c222c-43c1-41fd-a5ac-9a5ed3387d58> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2012/05/01/Crash-kills-three-generations-of-family/UPI-60941335891006/?rel=29331337020694 | 2017-11-19T22:36:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119210640-20171119230640-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.949721 | 308 | [

Dr. Farah Lakhani was interviewed about Children’s Eye Health by Kevin Fleming, from CTV Calgary.
Below is a transcription of the interview.
New school year and annual eye exam go hand in hand.
Most children will have their eyes on the blackboard when school starts but they might have a tough time seeing it. A survey from the Canadian Association of Optometrists says fewer than 25% of Alberta parents make eye health one of their top three health priorities.
As Kevin Flemming reports, an eye exam can make a big difference in a child’s life.
Coreen Grant (mom): What does this say?
Ashton Grant (son): Whha whaa where are
Kevin Fleming: At five years old, Ashton Grant is starting grade 1 and learning to read. He’s mostly excited about lunch, recess, and seeing his friends.
Ashton : Ms. Simmerman was in Kindergarten now I am going to have her again, and Liam is, but Kaiden isn’t. He’s in a different class.
Dr. Farah Lakhani: Have you noticed any head turn, eye turn, eye squint? Anything that you’re concerned about mom?
Kevin: This isn’t Ashton’s first eye exam. His mom knows the importance of having her son’s vision checked.
Coreen: I also have a nephew who when he was three, he got glasses and he was a really strong plus prescription, and it was a whole new world for him, so I have seen how much of a difference it makes.
Dr. Farah Lakhani: Can you read it backwards?
Ashton: R, A.
Kevin: Dr. Farah Lakhani says the majority of parents don’t bring their children in to have an eye exam.
Dr. Farah Lakhani: And what’s this one?
Dr. Farah Lakhani: Good.
Kevin: That’s resulting in 1 in 4 school age kids having a vision problem.
Dr. Farah Lakhani: Let’s take a look at the health of the eyes under the microscope.
Dr. Farah Lakhani: Parents don’t know that their child isn’t seeing quite the way they should be and children don’t know and this can affect their learning, their development, and they can’t grow and excel to their full potential.
Dr. Farah Lakhani: His vision is actually quite good far away.
Kevin: Turns out Ashton’s eyesight won’t cause him any problems on his first day of school. Dr. Lakhani says she sees an immediate difference in children once they’re diagnosed.
Dr. Farah Lakhani: There’s a little poster outside in our office and a child had put on glasses for the first time and she was like “Oh it’s a cat!”. She thought it was a raccoon I guess the whole time and it was just amazing to see that. It kind of melts your heart.

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Pope St. Sergius I
(Reigned 687-701), date of birth unknown; consecrated probably on 15 Dec., 687; d. 8 Sept., 701. While Pope Conon lay dying, the archdeacon Pascal offered the exarch a large sum to bring about his election as his successor. Through the exarch's influence the archdeacon was accordingly elected by a number of people; about the same time another faction elected the archpriest Theodore. The mass of clergy and people, however, set them both aside and chose Sergius, who was duly consecrated. Sergius, the son of Tiberius, was a native of Antioch; he was educated in Sicily, and ordained by [St.] Leo II. The new pope had numerous relations with England and the English. He received [St.] Caedwalla, King of the West Saxons, and baptized him (689); and, as he died in Rome, caused him to be buried in St. Peter's. He ordered St. Wilfrid to be restored to his see, greatly favoured St. Aldhelm, Abbot of Malmesbury, and is credited with endeavouring to secure the Venerable Bede as his adviser. Finally he consecrated the Englishman [St.] Willibrord bishop, and sent him to preach Christianity to the Frisians. The cruel Emperor Justinian wanted him to sign the decrees of the so- called Quinisext or Trullan Council of 692, in which the Greeks allowed priests and deacons to keep the wives they had married before their ordination, and which aimed at placing the Patriarch of Constantinople on a level with the Pope of Rome. When Sergius refused to acknowledge this synod, the emperor sent an officer to bring him to Constantinople. But the people protected the pope, and Justinian himself was soon afterwards deposed (695). Sergius succeeded in extinguishing the last remnants of the Schism of the Three Chapters in Aquileia. He repaired and adorned many basilicas, added the Agnus Dei to the Mass, and instituted processions to various churches.

Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Develop Africa is a 501c3 non-profit organization working to establish meaningful and sustainable development in Africa. Develop Africa was birthed out of the vision that human resource development is the key to improving nation building capacity in Africa. Develop Africa is involved in a range of programs in Africa supporting education, microfinance and small businesses, job skills / leadership development training etc.
The general history of Africa since achieving independence has been one of development failure. Develop Africa Inc. was birthed out of a response to this need. Develop Africa Inc. seeks to bridge the development deficit gap posed by the continent's long years of mismanagement and rule. Develop Africa Inc. strategic mandate is to raise a new generation of African leaders by focusing on the human capital aspect of development.
As Mistry (2006) suggests aid to Africa has not worked because human, social and institutional capital poses the binding restraint. Develop Africa Inc will utilize systematic progressive steps to address the issue of human development.
Through training, scholarship, investment and partnerships with NGO's Develop Africa is committed to developing Africa's resources and its vulnerable and poor people through the promotion of transformational education, resource development, investment training and strategic empowerment. Our premise is based on the notion that in order to change one's personal, national or organizational status there must necessarily be a change in the thinking and processing pattern of the mind
We envision an African continent fully developed in terms of its human and resource capacity, free from poverty; ignorance, and civil conflict and where the poorest and most vulnerable people become "leaders" and effectively manage national resources.
Examples of specific activity: We provide -
o job skills training
o microfinance / micro-lending and small business training
o books, school and teaching supplies
o basic computer training and computers
o mosquito nets, start up tool kits (such as sewing machines), school uniforms etc. | <urn:uuid:c081d0d0-5325-4ede-b562-d518ae0acb93> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.volunteermatch.org/search/org58532.jsp | 2017-11-21T12:29:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806353.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121113222-20171121133222-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.933101 | 395 | [

Lacey Spears: “Baby Killer” Tortured With Salt In Prison
In 2015, Lacey Spears charged with second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter following the death of her five-year-old son, Garnett.
Now, Spears is serving a 20-year sentence for allegedly poisoning her son with high levels of salt, a crime which is coming back to haunt the 28-year-old Kentucky native.
The former mommy blogger gave a prison interview to true crime author and biographer John Glatt for his upcoming book, My Sweet Angel, in which she described the kind of torture other inmates are putting her through.
“It’s been brutal here. Crimes involving children are considered the worst here,” Spears said, according to Radar Online.
“I hear them talking behind my back, calling me ‘baby killer,’ ‘child killer,’ and ‘mother of the year.’ But I know it’s not who I am.”
This doesn’t come as a surprise, given that it’s common knowledge that those accused of crimes against children are usually assaulted by fellow inmates.
“It’s been very hard, adjusting to being here,” Spears told Glatt.
“You always have to look behind your back, and I don’t trust anyone. I don’t have any friends, but I have people to talk to.”
Spears’ sister, Rebecca recalls stories from her incarcerated sibling, in particular the bullying.
“When she walked through the line [in the cafeteria] and it would be her turn to pick up the tray [someone] would put salt packets over her meal and then hand the tray to her,” Rebecca Spears said.
Spears was suspected of suffering from Munchausen by proxy, and was offered to go into protective custody (which would force her to spend 23 hours per day in solitude), but she declined.
Spears maintains her innocence, and at one point claimed that it was the hospital’s fault that he died, not hers.
“I didn’t hurt him,” Spears told 48 Hours‘ Troy Roberts.
“I never poisoned him with salt.”
Garnett Spears passed away in January 2014. | <urn:uuid:525dda4f-c126-4749-aeb8-7b50b4d39431> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://aboutube.com/blog/2016/08/31/lacey-spears-baby-killer-tortured-with-salt-in-prison/ | 2017-11-22T07:36:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806509.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122065449-20171122085449-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.970423 | 492 | [

Oh, the sheer unbridled joy of a vacation day all to myself! I scheduled it last week - just a day for me. And in advance, so I didn't have to come up with some lame-ass reason for calling in sick that no one would be believe anyway. I did it right - no karma is going to wreck this for me!
A day to clean out the closets, or not. A day to take a nap, or not. A day to have a long lunch with a girlfriend, or not. The whole dang day, with the exception of an hour's worth of errands. Mine, Mine, Mine, all Mine!!!
You already know where this is going, don't you?
What good is a day off if you're on mom duty all day? And so it began, as I was dropping LittleG off at daycare:
My ear hurts.
Hurts like it needs a kiss or hurts like you're sick?
Like it needs a kiss.
My ear still hurts. Can I go see Doctor Kay?
We'll see, baby. I will call and get you an appointment for VERY late this afternoon.
Hello, pediatrician's office? I need an appointment for my kid. What do you have late in the day? Oh, everyone is out today? That's a shame. How about tomorrow? 2 pm? Great, I'll take it.
My Mommy Instinct told me right then just to listen for the "Brown Eyed Girl" ringtone to bust out from my current POS phone. Lo and behold, it did.
Yes, Miss Sally.
LittleG has been complaining that her ear hurts.
And, just like that - vacation day, gone. Poof!
Luckily, we have an after hours urgent care clinic at our doctor's office. There is a note on the check-in desk that says to sign the arrival time sheet and that the receptionist will begin checking patients in at 5 pm. The doctor could arrive as late as 5:30, so be prepared to wait. In other words, sucks that you're sick, but please sit down until we call your name.
LittleG and I got there at 4:25 and signed in. That's when the karma kicked in for me. At 4:30, the receptionist magically appeared. At 4:35, the doctor strolled in. We were first on the list, in and out of there, prescription in hand, before the stroke of 5. And that included wait time at the pharmacy.
So we are a few hours in on the first dose of Augmentin. She ate a good dinner, had a nice bath, and conked out three songs into the night night music.
If the karma holds, then she'll be good to go by Monday when we are supposed to start swimming lessons. I shudder to think how our luck would have gone if I'd rolled the dice and called in sick today instead......
Ever forward, friends. | <urn:uuid:5f445fd8-d58c-4f73-85ca-1c0d37b1a71b> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://sdfgarcia.blogspot.com/2008/07/sure-happy-its-thursday-not-tgif.html | 2017-11-23T02:04:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806715.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123012207-20171123032207-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.971522 | 623 | [

Workers Compensation Rates Reduced
The WCIRB has recommended a mid-term rate change for employers in California. When approved by the commissioner they will become effective July 1st, 2016 and will apply to New Policies and Policies that Renew after 7-1-16. Most of the classification codes will have a REDUCTION, but there are several codes that will have an increased rate. Following is a chart for the codes most common in our industry.
|CLASS CODE||DESCRIPTION||RATE CHANGE 7-1-16|
|2883||Furniture Manufacturing – Wood||-5.85%|
|3076||Furniture Manufacturing – Metal||-11.70%|
|8015||Stores – Furniture||-18.11%|
|8018||Stores – Wholesale||-16.17%|
Unfortunately, employers in Southern California will not see much of the benefit of this change because the Los Angeles Basin Area has significantly more claims and claim costs than the rest of the State. The number of claims filed as a percentage of payroll is +38% higher in the LA Basin and the number of “Cumulative Injury” claims filed as a percentage of payroll is +40% higher.
Also, effective January 1st, 2017 the WCIRB is changing the way they calculate the Experience Modification for eligible employers. The change is designed to benefit smaller employers by reducing the affect of one single claim on their modification percentage. As an example, if you have a 70% modification factor and incur one large claim, instead of increasing your modification to 105%, it will only increase the factor to 90%. The formula for this is complicated and difficult to describe here.
Contact the CFMA office for more information on how these changes will affect your premiums. | <urn:uuid:e74d6b21-549d-4f8a-bc7d-5e0f9fe89f59> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://cfma.com/angels-vs-dodgers-baseball-night/ | 2017-11-23T20:07:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806939.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123195711-20171123215711-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.927703 | 705 | [

We do not have any preference of what letter the name starts with so please let your imagination go wild. We are hoping to find good, strong, solid names, though unique is not bad either.
I would love to read your ideas, so please comment on names you might suggest. There are no bad names, just names we might have more preference over others. Our other dilemma is that I might like a name, but Matt may have a past student with that name and just can't name our child that. Or Matt may come up with a name, but I had a patient with that name and I can't use the name for our child. | <urn:uuid:6967597e-3e2b-48db-91a5-46959d10dcf1> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://rebekahskillen.blogspot.com/2010/04/baby-names.html | 2017-11-23T20:16:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806939.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123195711-20171123215711-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.969991 | 132 | [

GIA Board of Governors Welcomes Three New Members
Global research team gathers at Institute’s world headquarters
CARLSBAD, Calif. – Nov. 8, 2017 – GIA (Gemological Institute of America) welcomed three new members to its Board of Governors and bid farewell to three who had completed their terms at the Board’s regularly scheduled November meeting at the Institute’s World Headquarters in Carlsbad, CA. The week before the board meeting, the Institute’s global research team gathered for their annual meeting.
The incoming Governors have a wealth of diverse and high-level experience. Karen Evans, national director of the US Cyber Challenge (USCC) and a partner at KE&T Partners has over 25 years of U.S government service, including responsibility for IT implementation and cybersecurity. Lawrence Ma, chief executive of Lee Heng Diamond Group and founding president of the Diamond Federation of Hong Kong, brings more than 45 years of industry experience including senior roles in several leading trade organizations. Robert Andrew ‘Andy’ Johnson, CEO of Diamond Cellar Holdings, has extensive experience in retail and commercial real estate.
“Karen Evans, Lawrence Ma and Andy Johnson bring expertise, insight and deep knowledge in areas that are vital to continued success in today’s dynamic global market. They will undoubtedly make a significant contribution as members of the GIA Board of Governors as we work to further GIA’s public benefit mission,” said Susan M. Jacques, GIA president and CEO. “We thank the departing Governors for their many years of wise counsel and dedicated service.”
The departing Governors are:
John A. Green, president and CEO of Lux Bond & Green, joined the board in 2007. He was Executive Chair of the Board from 2014 to 2016 and was Chair of the Laboratory and Research Committee from 2013 to 2017.
James P. Shinehouse, managing partner of Atlantic Financial Advisory Partners, has served on the GIA Board of Governors since 2007. He served as Executive Vice Chair from 2015 to 2017 and was head of the Audit Committee from 2010 to 2017.
Ephraim Zion, managing director of Dehres Ltd, joined the Board in 2007; he served on the Laboratory and Research, and Executive Committees.
Nearly 60 experts from across the globe gathered for the Institute’s 11th annual research meeting. Attendees of the three-day meeting included GIA staff involved in research (22 with doctoral degrees), consulting scientists, fellows from the Richard T. Liddicoat Postdoctoral Research Fellowship program, and GIA governors and executives. The researchers reviewed topics including developments in instrumentation, advancements in detecting diamond treatments and synthetics, origin determination of colored gemstones, and pearl structures.
The role of the Board of Governors is to direct the strategy of the Institute to ensure that the mission and vision of GIA are followed in all decisions; that the reputation of GIA is preserved and continues to grow globally; and that the financial goals of the Institute are met. | <urn:uuid:ab781dd5-4016-4fad-adb5-5778df69616c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.gia.edu/gia-news-press/board-of-governors-new-members | 2017-11-23T20:08:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806939.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123195711-20171123215711-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.955472 | 622 | [

A lack of physical activity is putting Northern Ireland’s children at risk of overweight and obesity.
“Bring Back Play” is the message being used by safefood in a new drive to tackle childhood obesity. The all-island body is urging parents to encourage their children to be more active every day and it’s little wonder as new research indicates that less than half (43.4%) of seven year olds in Northern Ireland meet the recommended physical activity guideline – the lowest ranked in the United Kingdom.
With 1 in 4 children primary school children in Northern Ireland now overweight or obese, safefood is emphasising the importance of including physical activity whenever families can.
Supporting the message, Professor Marie Murphy of the Sports and Exercise Research Unit at the University of Ulster said:
“Being active for 60 minutes a day doesn’t have to be all in one burst: 10 or 15 minutes here or there all add up, as long as it gets you breathing harder than normal, makes you feel a bit warmer and gets the heart pumping it is likely to be moderate or vigorous intensity and help you meet the guidelines.
We all need physical activity to lead a full life and if parents join in as well, that’s a great way of spending fun time together as a family.”
Dr Cliodhna Foley-Nolan, Director, Human Health & Nutrition, safefood continues “Active play for children is instinctive; we just need to ‘bring it back’. “Our childhood obesity campaign provides parents with advice on practical changes they can make for their families’ health. Incorporating activity into your daily routine, for example promoting active ways for children to travel to school, is key to success.
Children who get their 60 minutes plus daily have healthier sleep and eating habits too. And with the clocks having gone forward this weekend, it’s a great time of the year to start new family habits.” | <urn:uuid:2967d5ea-f209-47fb-a1aa-d93d0c707b82> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://irelandsbabyshow.com/campaign-bring-back-play-launched-tackle-child-obesity/ | 2017-11-24T14:39:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808254.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124142303-20171124162303-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.938302 | 409 | [

People seem to like their green smoothies, amirite? You feel all virtuous, sipping on something full of chlorophyll, pretty much like you’re eating a salad for breakfast…except better, because it’s basically a juice, and people go on juice cleanses all the time, so they must be good for you.
And while I am all about a good green smoothie several times a week (though mine usually have some protein in the form of peanut butter and are fortified with chia seeds and a banana), sometimes, a girl needs a change. Change in the form of…a pink smoothie.
I didn’t realize smoothies were controversial until Food52 posted one of their “Put A Filter On It” challenges — take an Instagram shot of whatever smoothie or juice you’re enjoying as spring approaches.
After the standard “So excited about this!” comments, there were a number of very grumpy people who started complaining about the high glycemic index of many juices, how smoothies are just calorie bombs and how people with diabetes couldn’t participate in the challenge.
While I am not unsympathetic, smoothies and juices are not always as evil as they’re being made out to be. Continue reading
I had to make something green for you for St. Patrick’s Day. It’s somewhat (but not entirely) coincidental that this grass-green smoothie is excellent for hangover recovery.
Remember how you used to drink in college? You’d knock back some obscene amount of alcohol and wake up most mornings with nothing more than a headache and a vague feeling of nausea that could be quickly squelched with pancakes doused in lots of syrup and some good, strong coffee. Then, suddenly, you turned 25 and more than two glasses of wine meant you probably woke up feeling like you wanted to die.
Or at least, that’s how it worked for me. Continue reading
The entire time I was making this soup, all I could think of was the Seinfeld episode in which the Soup Nazi appears. Mulligatawny is only one of the secret recipes Elaine finds in the bureau (Kramer’s favorite), but that’s the one that has always stood out for me, due to its incredibly fun name — and because that’s the recipe that finally breaks the Soup Nazi’s spirit.
Compared to most of the Indian dishes I’ve tried before, this recipe has comparatively few spices. It’s just curry and ginger, coupled with carrots, apple, cilantro and even a banana, for thickness and sweetness. Mulligatawny is actually Anglo-Indian, so that makes some degree of sense. | <urn:uuid:e78a9ddd-2537-4fd7-aead-57003d8b6b24> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://almondbutterbinge.wordpress.com/tag/banana/ | 2017-11-24T15:06:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808254.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124142303-20171124162303-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.965807 | 577 | [

Reminiscent of Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio’s blockbuster film, Pirates of the Caribbean, author James Wassick shoves readers to yet another full-packed swashbuckling swing in his new book, Notorious. Released through Xlibris, this epic saga follows a privateer-turned-pirate, a greed-driven governor, a brawl over treasure, and a young man’s fight for true love.
Edmund Drake returns to Bristol after three years to find his world turned upside down. The woman he loves, Sarah, is betrothed to a greed-driven governor and his father’s murderer is still free. He gets entangled in an unsavory web of power and is condemned to the British Royal Navy where he experiences first hand, the brutal conditions which seamen endured. An attack by the notorious Jack McGinnty forces Edmund into a life of piracy where he learns about loyalty, life and the dark past of this mysterious pirate captain.
What follows is a series of non-stop action filled with adventure, sea battles, wealth, and a search for true love as they sail the Caribbean. Notorious is a fast-paced read that delves into the daring lives of men and women who embark on quests to fulfill their heart’s desires.

Belgian DJ/producer Vito DeLuca, aka Aeroplane, has been on the move for some years now, dropping his high praised nu-disco sound, firstly culminating in critically acclaimed 2010 album ‘We Can’t Fly’, followed by a tour-de-force of club and festival gigs, presenting his unique take on nowadays nu-disco and balearic house. Meanwhile, his tracks and remixes caused a same stir, recently highlighted with his collab with Alex Metric under the name Metroplane.
German DJ/producer Purple Disco Machine on his turn has also been making waves for a while, releasing some serious club hits since 2011 under the moniker of his much in demand ‘deep funk’ sound. In practice this means the dance floor gets a solid dose of nu-disco, funk, house and deep house, which landed PDM loads of milestone gigs, including a residency at well known clubnight Glitterbox.
After teaming up last year for the instant-anthem ‘Sambal’, a stunning piece of deep house with captivating steeldrum melody line, the guys returned in December for an exciting continuation of their collab. Turning out the next step of their exploration of current deep house, ‘Counting On Me’ featured captivating piano chords and a soulful vibe in the shape of Aloe Blacc.
Following widespread DJ and media support, the team has now revamped ‘Counting On Me’ with a radio edit that takes the record to new grounds. Adding the legendary gospel choir The Joubert Singers of ‘Standing On The Word’ fame seems to work miracles in combination with Aloe’s soulful vocals and the catchy nu-disco/deep house groove.

2,200 individual flights. Over 1,100 flight hours logged and tracked. Hundreds of inspections and dozens of customers. This is a volume and efficiency game. These numbers come from HAZON Solutions service provider business operations in the third quarter of 2017. HAZON is still a small business with a sharp eye on efficiency, to put up big numbers like these we needed some help. It’s why we built DMS from scratch.
We’ve been in the high volume commercial drone business for the past three years. Our goal every day is to maximize our capacity, maintain the highest quality and refine our process. This focus on constant improvement led us to ditch the spreadsheets we were using a year ago to keep track of our flight related operations. We had to have something that could keep up with the tempo of our operation without requiring additional manpower in the back office. Enter the Drone Management System.
Let me rewind. Five years ago I was in the US Navy assigned as the daily operations officer at the world’s largest fighter squadron. I split my days between duty as an F/A-18 flight instructor and the lead for a team that scheduled the daily activity of over 900 people and 100 jets. It was a daunting task made easier with specially designed software. If it worked for the Navy, why wouldn’t it work for the drone business? Back to HAZON…..
….we tested them all. Drone specific software, manned aviation software, truck driving software. None of it worked. It was all either to complex (looking at you manned aviation) or overly focused on the daily tasks of flying. It was a tough call but we bit the bullet and built our own database. The software was designed to support our needs as a high-volume operator. It had to be flexible and fast. I must record the data we needed but at a minimum imposition to our pilots. It had to work on a cell phone and in the field. It was a daunting task.
Eventually we recognized our database for what it was, one hell of a good product. Drone operations management software, built on the principals of Naval Aviation, right sized for drone operations, streamline for businesses.
Here we stand today. DMS continues to evolve as a more complete software offering every week and month. We leverage the inputs of our users to add on features. We partner with the best in the industry to bring in new capabilities. We apply the same continuous process improvement mindset to our software line as we do to our services offerings.
Where is your business? Are you collecting the data you need to run your operation? Are you ready if the FAA comes calling? How do you plan your operations? Do you know how much you flew last week? Are you ready to streamline? Join us at DMS, commercial grade drone software.
Built by drone pros. Built for drone pros.
Drones are not invincible. Just like the rest of the equipment your business owns, they will eventually succumb to the wear and tear of their very reason for being – flight. Propellers will bend out of shape, servos will slow and eventually fail, and firmware at the least will need to be updated. There is a much to pay attention to and much track. Free your people up to tackle the harder problems and let the Drone Management System do what it was meant to, get your business operating more efficiently and effectively through our drone maintenance tracking features.
Drone maintenance tracking has two key components. The first is planned maintenance – measuring wear and tear on your equipment and setting routine inspections based on specific intervals. This is easily accomplished by tracking the flights and flight hours a drone accrues over time. DMS allows a user to customize inspections based on intervals of either calendar time, flight hours or flights (or a combination of those). We all know in the drone business that surprises are the enemy, ensure you don’t get surprised with a consistent and well executed drone inspection program.
The second component is logging unplanned maintenance done to individual aircraft. This could be preemptive maintenance after finding something when doing a simple pre-flight check or reactive to a failed part or piece of equipment. Either way, unplanned drone maintenance tracking will allow you to identify common failures and trends, a key step forward for any business working on efficiency.
The DMS drone maintenance tracking function is powerful yet intuitive. Designed to provide maximum information in a digestible and quick to interpret format, DMS will help ensure your operation is firing on all cylinders. Get your business off spreadsheets and dry erase boards, streamline your process and increase efficiency by managing your operation with DMS.

The unmanned industry is going through a phase focused on technology. The newest sensors, the best aircraft, machine learning, and the slickest data management techniques are all supposed to elevate a drone operator to the highest levels of professionalism. What’s being forgotten are the fundamentals of aviation – lessons learned the hard way over the course of the last century, lessons we in the unmanned business would do well to incorporate.
People remain at the core of every drone operation today and will for the foreseeable future. Even the most automated of aircraft require a person to make decisions about where and when the aircraft should fly. Because of this, a Safety Management System is critical to every professional drone operation. A well developed and executed Safety Management System will reduce mishaps while simultaneously increasing efficiency. Those mishaps can easily be measured in dollars lost as well as dollars not earned.
At HAZON Solutions we developed our Safety Management System based on the Federal Aviation Administration’s and Part 121 commercial carrier’s systems. Our program is complete with safety risk mitigation, safety assurance, safety policy, and safety promotion. These incredibly effective components were used as the foundation of the HAZON Drone Management System™.
Every function in the HAZON DMS™ was built to incorporate and support the needs of a complete Safety Management System. The opening page each user sees at log-in clearly and unavoidably displays that user’s RPIC time in the last 7, 14, and 30 days – an excellent starting point for the pilot to self-assess their risk factors. Aircraft maintenance information is easily accessible as are aircraft inspection reports. Lessons Learned (a recently released feature) is a way to rapidly distribute safety related information across your entire drone network.
An investment in developing and executing a Safety Management System will easily yield a 3x or 4x return. HAZON DMS™ has the ability to effortlessly support all tenants of a Safety Management System; it will keep pilots safe, equipment working, and a drone operation humming.
HAZON Solutions® (“HAZON”), the national leader in drone inspection services, announced today the launch of the HAZON Drone Management System™ (HAZON DMS™). HAZON DMS™ is a secure, web-based management tool providing every drone operator, whether a hobbyist with a single drone or a large corporation with hundreds of drones, a way to safely and efficiently track and manage their drone fleet, pilots and workflow.
“HAZON DMS™ is the first software designed by professional drone pilots, for professional drone pilots” says HAZON Director of Drone Capability Development, Ed Hine. “We designed it to be a robust, yet simple to use management tool that can handle all of our safety, maintenance, operational and pilot management requirements with one efficient application.”
Some of the HAZON DMS™ features include remote pilot (RP) logbooks, RP qualifications tracking, asset tracking, client management, proactive safety and maintenance tracking and reporting, and workflow management. HAZON DMS™ is offered as software as a service through the freemium model for individual users.
“HAZON DMS™ is the first software designed by professional drone pilots, for professional drone pilots. We designed it to be a robust, yet simple to use management tool that can handle all of our…requirements with one efficient application.”
– ED HINE, DIRECTOR OF DRONE CAPABILITY DEVELOPMENT
“At HAZON we believe it is important to actively promote the safe and responsible use of drone throughout the entire drone industry, so we offer a free subscription to everyone,” said HAZON COO and Co-Founder, Sean Cushing. “Startup drone businesses now have the ability to utilize this very powerful tool early in their life cycle. This will allow them to focus on operating drones safely and with professional processes in place from day one.”
HAZON DMS™ is a cloud-based service offered at three levels. The “Remote Pilot” level is free to individual users with up to two drones. The “Drone Team” level is for multi-person, multi- drone operations available on a per user per month fee schedule. The “Enterprise Systems” level is designed for larger organizations, municipalities or universities with organic drone operations that require features like customized branding, alternative licensing and hosting options, dedicated 24/7 customer support, optional custom analytics and multi-tiered administrators.
“Even though it is already the most capable management software for the drone industry, we are quickly working to deploy the next set of advanced features,” said Hine. “One of the things that makes HAZON DMS™ so unique and powerful is that in order to support our customers’ needs and adapt to the rapid changes in our industry, we will update the tool with speed and purpose.”
HAZON DMS™ has recently completed beta testing with a wide range of drone operations including HAZON Solutions®, the York County Fire Department, Aerial Works and Liberty University. HAZON Solutions® will launch DMS™ at the AUVSI conference in Dallas, TX on May 8th, however it is now available at www.HAZONDMS.com.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Authorities in Bucks County are investigating a fatal stabbing in Warminster, early Sunday morning.
Police say officers were called to the Bucks Landing Apartment Complex on Street Road about 2 a.m. and found a 30-year-old man with several stab wounds. He was pronounced dead a short time later at Abington Hospital.
Police say they have no motive or suspects in the murder, yet. Detectives from a number of surrounding towns are helping with the investigation.

Madison House signs Cosby Sweater, family-friendly hilarity ensues
Published: April 12, 2012
by Anand Harsh
A new sax-ified electro act is pouncing on the scene. Indianapolis-based Cosby Sweater (yeah, it is the greatest band name) fuses the worlds of high-powered bass music with underground hip-hop sensibilities, and the sultry sounds of saxomophone. Its three members are veterans to the live music scene, though they might be more closely associated with the jam community. Dave Embry, a.k.a. DJ Embryo is best known as one half of Embryonic Fluid with keys maniac Ashton Kleemann (Eumatik). He brings his DJ and production experience to the table, along with a healthy dose of bass. Nick Gerlach is the sax star of the Midwest's favorite sensual and funky all-stars, The Twin Cats, who have been dazzling audiences and making fans of major players in the biz (most notably Umphrey's McGee) for years. Gerlach has been blowing for nigh on a decade, now, and it's time for him to step out even further into the spotlight. Rounding out the trio on drums is local legend Richard "Sleepy" Floyd who likes moonlight walks on the beach and Sunday naps. He's also providing some solid backup in the live setting as evidenced by the live clip below.
Younger than the mayo in your fridge, Cosby Sweater has already been snapped up by the sharp eyes (and ears) over at Madison House Inc. Sensing much potential in this high-flying project, the booking and publicity powerhouse has added the Sweater to their roster that already includes Bassnectar, EOTO, Rubblebucket, String Cheese, and most every cool act on the festival scene today. They've also nabbed Dan Rucinski (Digital Tape Machine) and his Igloo Agency for management. Smooth move.
Speaking of festivals and such, many announcements regarding impending dates are forthcoming, so keep a lookout for the Coz, because he's coming. And he looks damn good. | <urn:uuid:b0391908-959d-44bf-9d73-616b9880f965> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.theuntz.com/news/madison-house-signs-cosby-sweater-familyfriendly-hilarity-ensues/ | 2017-11-20T19:21:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806124.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120183849-20171120203849-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.966223 | 443 | [

» Every day thousands of flights operated by numerous commercial airlines speed millions of tourists across the world.
Area of commerce in which aircraft are employed to carry passengers, freight, and mail. Air transport companies operate scheduled airlines and nonscheduled services over local, regional, national, and international routes. The aircraft operated by these companies range from small single-engine planes to large multiengine jet transports . In Europe many governments developed an extensive airline system. Although early airmail routes there compared unfavorably with American round-the-clock deliveries, European passenger operations became much more sophisticated. By 1929 Britain was operating a commercial air route to India , and within a few years other nations began combined mail, freight, and passenger service to distant countries and dependencies. The era between 1919 and the outbreak of World War II in 1939 included significant advances in weather forecasting, navigation equipment, aerodynamics, and innovative management. Symbolizing these trends were airline specifications for modern equipment such as the DC-3 of the 1930s, a monoplane constructed of metal, carefully streamlined, with reliable and efficient radial engines, retractable landing gear, variable-pitch propellers, and many other refinements. Big flying boats began to link Europe and Asia with the U.S. During World War II intercontinental air transport became firmly established. After the war the new long-range four-engine transports with fully pressurized cabins and advanced instrumentation were increasingly able to avoid storms and turbulent winds, enhancing passenger comfort and making operations more economical and consistent. These new planes and the jet airliners introduced in 1958 replaced railroad trains and ocean liners as the primary mode of long-distance travel. A new generation of wide-bodied, or “jumbo-jet,” transports began operations in 1970, and the Anglo-French Concorde, a supersonic transport, entered passenger service in 1976.
» Business aircraft consequently have remarkable flexibility in expediting the schedules of executives, permitting visits throughout a sales territory that would take far too long by car or that would be inconvenient because of airline schedules. Many large corporations operate their own regular air shuttle services between major plants and urban markets for their salespeople, engineers, and prospective customers. Using general aviation planes, some commercial operators contract to fly mail from smaller cities to major airline hub cities for redistribution. Other commercial operators make regular pickup and delivery of checks and securities for corresponding banks and Federal Reserve System institutions. During the 1980s the number of domestic passengers on U.S. airlines increased about 58%. In 1990 there were 423.7 million domestic passengers and 41.8 million international passengers; the latter figure was a 75% increase over 1980. The total amount of freight and express cargo flown by U.S. airlines almost doubled during the 1980s, from 5.7 billion to 10.6 billion ( U.S. ) ton-miles in 1990. Total airline profits were down, however; the industry lost a record $3.9 billion in 1990; employment also increased, however, from 355,000 in 1985 to 546,000 in 1990. Both employment and losses decreased in succeeding years, as the industry stabilized and attempted to recover from the turbulent 1980s. | <urn:uuid:edb5a078-145e-4e5f-b2b0-031a897e8cab> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://traveltoworld.co.uk/airtravel.htm | 2017-11-21T13:50:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806388.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121132158-20171121152158-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.960092 | 646 | [

Debt Collection Rulemaking
The CFPB continues to move closer to issuing a comprehensive rule to regulate the debt collection industry, an action widely expected to mark the most significant legal change to how debt collection is conducted in the United States since enactment of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act in 1977.
In November 2013, the CFPB took the first step toward considering rules for the debt collection market by issuing an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to collect information on the credit and collection industry. In August 2016, the CFPB convened an advocacy review panel under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act to obtain feedback from small business representatives on its outline of third-party debt collection proposals under consideration. With the SBREFA process concluded, the CFPB is now poised to issue a Proposed Rule to cover third-party debt collection.
Throughout the debt collection rulemaking process, ACA is actively engaged with the CFPB, working hard to ensure that the agency has an accurate and fair understanding of how its proposed policy changes will impact the collection industry.

The growth of the sport industry has prompted the need for a more professional and commercial orientation to the management of sport. The MSc Sport Management responds to this market demand by providing a critical and applied examination of research and practice essential to the development of future sport managers.
You will develop a higher level understanding of management principles and their application to the sport industry. This course enables you to advance your knowledge of the processes by which sport has become a global phenomenon within the wider service and entertainment industry, the subsequent tensions that have emerged, and the implications for the future development and management of sport.
An Honours degree is normally required - 2:2 or above, or equivalent
Business Strategy & Finance
You will develop an understanding of the foundations of strategic analysis, choice and the implementation strategies that usually tie into an organisation’s business decisions (Private, Public and Third Sector). This includes a study of Corporate Finance in terms of an organisation’s sources of finance, reporting and the interpretation of financial data that is fundamental to the broader understanding of the dynamics of the tourism, hospitality and leisure sectors.
You will identify issues and appropriate measures relating to effective managerial performance in a complex operating environment. The unit seeks to develop competence in the areas of organisational management and behaviour appropriate to the development of a career in management within the leisure sector. The unit focuses on the ‘effective manager’ by investigating key roles and functions and how these may be affected by operational environment, organisational structure and culture, particularly within international and multinational organisations.
Sport Principles & Practice
You will develop an understanding of the structure of sport at all levels, from global organisations such as FIFA and the IOC, to local voluntary/amateur sport organisations. It will provide an introduction to the global nature, structure, and environment of sport. The unit will be international in nature, drawing on examples and practices from both developed and developing countries.
The number of people who watch sport, directly or indirectly, far outweigh the numbers that actively participate, yet nearly all academic study of sport is focused upon participation. The overall aim of the unit is to provide you with an understanding of sport consumption through an examination of a number of different theories, and an application of such theories to describe and explain the behaviour of the sport consumer.
Facility Planning & Design
The unit helps you to understand the key components of the design of sport and recreation facilities. The unit enables you to understand the design of associated and support facilities and services, and the special facility design and technical operations. The unit allows you to understand building services, engineering economics and nature of the triangular relationship between the client, contractor and operator.
The dissertation, which is underpinned by a research methods unit, provides you with the opportunity to study a subject in-depth. The resulting piece of work is a 15,000 word dissertation, showing your extensive understanding of the topic. The dissertation is the culmination of your learning experience on the programme, requiring the development of the intellectual capacity to plan and carry out an academically-sound research project, involving the use of an appropriate research methodology to collect and analyse data, a critical treatment of the relevant literature and well-presented findings.
Choose one unit from the following options:
The aim of the unit is to understand the process of creating a new entrepreneurial venture along with sources of funding available to nascent and novice entrepreneurs when starting their new entrepreneurial ventures. Strong emphasis is placed upon the identification and evaluation of entrepreneurial opportunities. Entrepreneurial development may cover a single entity, a further investment by a portfolio entrepreneur, a management buy-out, a spin out or an entrepreneurial venture within an existing organisation.
Food & Drink
Food and drink is the basis of life: it provides sustenance, fulfils nutritional requirements, is enjoyable, forms the basis for many of life’s experiences and is central to the hospitality, tourism, retail and events industries. As such, an understanding of the nature of our relationship with food socially, economically, politically, environmentally and in terms of technology is a valuable adjunct to other strategic and operational areas of expertise.
Mobile Communication & Mobile Marketing
Design and critically evaluate innovative mobile applications that enhance the effectiveness of a marketing communication campaign. This unit aims at providing you with the necessary theory and tools for understanding, designing and evaluating mobile communication and mobile marketing initiatives in the experience-based industries. Mobile platforms, delivering effective highly localized and contextual content, are no longer an option but a requirement for successful marketing campaigns. The unit will help you to critically handle mobile marketing and mobile communication projects.
Politics, Philosophy & Economics for Sport
You will critically assess the key disciplines of politics, philosophy and economics. Examine the core underpinning concepts that infuse interpretations and understandings of what, how and why sport is of social, cultural and political salience in modern society. The unit examines the nature of politics; philosophy and economics to make sense of sport within and as part of institutions that comprise society and contribute to stability and social naturalness. To do this the unit investigates relationships that are ontologically and epistemologically conditioned and subsequently are not neutral and hence the place of sport in this context is both problematical and contested.
In this unit you will develop an understanding of the nature, diversity and features of sport tourism, while developing an understanding of the changing demands for sport tourism, the supply structures and an examination of its impacts and responses of both sport and tourism providers. It will critically explore the unique interaction of sport, tourism and events.
The placement unit is intended to foster personal and professional development and to enable you to make a connection between academic learning and the working world.
It is ideal for those wanting to pursue a career in sport development, sport facility management, sports marketing, sports administration, and sport event management, or for those hoping to work for national sporting governing bodies, sports consultancy enterprises, schools and specialist sports colleges, community groups or charitable sporting organisations.

CoolSculpting & TruSculpt are both modalities to treat fat.
CoolSculpting uses cyrolipolysis, which uses cold temperatures to freeze the fat, killing and permanently reducing the fat cells. It is a reliable, consistant and effective method of permanently reducing fat cells - but you must have a distinct buldge in order to have the treatment done.
TruSculpt, which uses radiofrequency and comfortable heat and can treat anywhere from the shoulders down. Trusculpt causes a "natural" cell death and results are seen in 4-6 weeks. Everyone is a candidate for TruSculpt as there is no "pinch rule" or need to have enough skin/fat to suck up into a handpiece. | <urn:uuid:3e75c7f2-7b6f-457d-903d-48f3b2ad89a0> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://estheticmd.net/index.php/services/body-contouring/trusculpt-or-coolsculpt-whats-the-difference | 2017-11-23T03:21:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806720.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123031247-20171123051247-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.959415 | 159 | [

Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Model Kit
Model Number: 24213
The Tamiya 1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI is a plastic model kit in the Tamiya 1/24 Car Plastic Model Kits range. This plastic car kit requires paint and glue to complete.
About the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V won the 1998 WRC Manufacturer's Title, and T. Makinen earned the Driver's Title in the same year. The continuing refinement of the car for the 1999 Rally season led to the development of the Evolution VI.
The street car version of the Evolution VI was announced in January, 1999 and utilizes the experience derived from rallying. The first modifications centered on the aggressive exterior. On the right side of the bumper, the oil cooler air intake was enlarged and an air outlet on the right side was created to improve efficiency. To improve the radiator airflow, the license plate was offset to the left. The rear spoiler is a delta type twin wicker with an adjustable angle on the upper wing, this increases downforce for extra stability. Reliable, abundant power is provided by the 4G63 2.0 liter 4-cylinder engine with an intercooled turbocharger. Power is transferred through a full-time 4WD transmission to the wheels, the front features a helical limited slip differential, the center is equipped with a viscous LSD, the rear has an Active Yaw Control differential. The front wheels are suspended on Macpherson struts, the rear use multi-links.
Additional high performance features were incorporated into the car, resulting in an exceptional vehicle with superior handling. Mitsubishi generously endowed the Lancer Evolution VI with their know-how and experience, creating a rally capable sports car.
Model: 24213 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI

I’ve really started to get to the point in my life where I have had to make a conscious decision to take a step back from being sucked into MACs limited edition collections. It’s not quite working out the way I planned, but to be fair on myself and my purse, I have been relatively good this last twelve months. The stress that it causes it one of the things that I don’t miss the most, and the thought of missing out on coveted items from collections literally keeps me awake at night. If that’s not a true beauty addict, then I don’t know what is. I let myself have one item from the Nutcracker Sweet Christmas collection, which in true addict form has gone straight into the pile of make up that I can’t touch (too pretty, too limited, I will die if I hit pan on it kind of pile), and I told myself there was absolutely nothing from the MAC x Mariah Carey collection that I
wanted needed. Thanks to two very beautiful friends of mine, Hayleigh and Hannah, I ended up with the MAC x Mariah Carey Skinfinish My Mimi after a shopping spree in World Duty Free. As they were looking for items in the drawers of the MAC counter, they came across just three of the My Mimi skinfinish powders, and after taking one each for them, they thought of me. How bloody adorable is that? Friends for life there.
Probably one of the most insanely packaged collections, it’s everything that you think a Mariah Carey collection would be. Sparkling, silver, lustrous and totally over the top. I wish I didn’t tell myself I didn’t want any of it, as I do. I want it all. Stupid Anoushka and a stupid decision made. Thankfully, my Mariah Carey Skinfinish My Mimi will keep me going for a while and to be fair, it is one of the better products from the collection. Just look at how beautiful the embossed face is on the powder. Now, the powder itself is gold, and I’m not just talking a sheer gold, it’s like Oscar statue gold. The thought of using this on my face fills me with some fear as it’s not subtle at all. If I was going to use it, a big fat fluffy brush would be the only way that this warm gold shimmer could be diffused over the face without causing a severe metallic cheekbone. Even from the swatch, you can see just how intense it is. To give it its due, it does sheer out when brushed across the skin, but a light hand and the tiniest amount of product needs to be used.
With regards to the rest of the collection, which is sadly out of stock everywhere, there are just a handful of products that I wish I had bought. Out of the range of lipsticks, there aren’t any that I would have chosen as they all look a bit too pale for me, or too dark. There’s nothing in between that called out to me. On the other hand, I would have had each and every lip gloss, as well as both blushers, both eye shadow palettes and the shimmering loose dust. If I can get hold of the loose dust, I will be one very happy girl. I’m hoping that the demand has been that high for the MAC x Mariah Carey collection that they re-release some more, just as they did with the Cinderella collection. Please MAC! | <urn:uuid:70419a3a-c34c-443b-ad06-c363630a5402> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://anoushkaloves.com/beauty/mac-x-mariah-carey-skinfinish-mimi/ | 2017-11-23T22:01:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806979.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123214752-20171123234752-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.966829 | 743 | [

Recently I got a subscription to a fashion magazine called Lucky. I like to flip through the pages and see the latest colors and trends. Although I am not a fashionista, I think it is good to see what it going on outside my little craft room bubble.
While I was flipping through the last issue I saw an ad for OPI Nail Lacquer (which I already love) for Muppet Colors!!!! What a great product, it combines really good nail polish and a great child hood memory. I watched the Muppets as a child religiously so I rushed over to the OPI site to check out the new colors. How can you go wrong with Meep-Meep-Meep red, Fresh Frog of Bel Air green, Gone Gonzo blue or Excuse Moi pink! There are lots of other great colors with clever names that you should go and check out.

Wisconsin’s geologic outcrops
Beginning in 1976, geologists at the Survey and their colleagues prepared over 100 descriptions of outcrops from around the state. These outcrops showed important or typical geologic formations, features, and characteristics. Their locations are pinned on the map below. Green pins have photos; blue pins do not. Click on a pin for access to the outcrop descriptions (PDFs).
These outcrop descriptions are intended to be used to construct field trips. In the years since the descriptions were written access to these sites may have changed. Outcrops on busy highways, in quarries, or in gravel pits may be hazardous. REMEMBER: Always get permission before entering or crossing private property. Be respectful and be careful.

By Bernard Garnett August 28, 1969 (JET Magazine) courtesy of Harold Bell
“Next year. when I complete my present hitch, I’m not going to re-enlist. I’m giving up the Army because there’s too much racism.”
This sentiment–common among young black servicemen–was voiced in Washington, DC, by Earl K. Bell a disgruntled 28 year old Army staff sergeant who led a nearly explosive civil rights protest in Nuremberg, West Germany, last spring. The tall, robust, 250-pound veteran of eight years was denouncing the military, fully aware that such an action could lead to severe disciplinary action.
That same week, S/Sgt. Bell’s 30-year-old brother, Harold K. Bell, was at the White House exchanging pleasantries with President Richard M. Nixon and Secretary of State William P. Rogers, for whom he caddied as a youngster at suburban Washington’s Burning Tree Golf Course (Jet Magazine July 31). The re-union led to a Presidential appointment.
With their seemingly contrasting outlooks, Harold and Earl shared the same poverty-ridden backgrounds. The four Bell brothers (including Alfred, now 31, a tire salesman, and William, 20, a Marine Corps Private/First-class) grew up without a father in a DC low-income housing project. Still youngsters when their mother was on welfare, they grew up on the black ghetto’s proverbial “dead-end street”.
A turn of fate changed Harold’s life in the mid-1950s, after embarking on a 20-mile journey to Burning Tree, seeking part-time employment “to get some food money.”With other inner-city black men, he served as a Caddy for Washington VIPs, but his favorite was then Vice-President Nixon, who frequented the links with Attorney General William Rogers. “Mr. Nixon took a personal interest in me,” the muscular 6-foot-2, 185-pounder recalls. ‘I would ride back with them to the MD/DC line, this allowed me to catch my bus back to my NE housing project. During the ride the Vice-President and I to my surprise would talk sports, but he put heavy importance on my education.’
A high school football, baseball and basketball star, Harold Bell would win an athletic scholarship to Winston-Salem State University in North Carolina. He left college in 1963 to chase his dreams to play in the NFL, but he came up short. He returned home to take a position with the United Planning Organization (a community self-help organization) as a Neighborhood worker.
Meanwhile, Earl Bell–like many blacks sought to escape the lack of opportunities in civilian life through a military career. He enlisted in 1961, served two tours of duty in Germany. He was the Army’s heavyweight boxing champion in 1963. Earl was also a table tennis champion and first string fullback on the Army Football team. He served as platoon sergeant in Nuremberg from 1966 until his overseas tour ended last month.
It was not long before he detected racial bias in promotions and in disciplinary actions as it related to black troops. He told Jet, “Blacks who dared to speak out were labeled Troublemakers, and sympathetic whites were branded nigger lovers, and were disciplined as badly as blacks if they violated any rules”. Worse still, Bell said, ‘Black officers, apparently protecting their positions, did little to correct inequities’.
Three years ago, Bell tried unsuccessfully to have segregated off-base housing in Nuremberg declared off-limits, but he was rebuffed. He complained to Rep. Charles Diggs (D-Mich.) and the Pentagon. Finally, he obtained adequate housing for his family, but the struggle for equality never ended.
On May 30, S/Sgt. Bell’s relentless drive reached a climax at at a segregated discotheque (The Cage) in downtown Nuremberg. Black servicemen had been refused admission previously, he led 35 militant troops in a march that almost ended in bloodshed, particularly when U. S. Army Military Police (mostly white) were rushed to the scene. Bell on leave in Washington before beginning a one-year stint as a supply instructor at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia said, “I was the only peaceful man in downtown Nuremberg, everyone else wanted to fight. I kept saying, ‘Be cool’ on that night the black soldiers were not worried about going to jail or about their military records. They also cared less about getting into the discotheque, all they wanted to do was straighten the white man out.”
S/Sgt. Bell’s perfect service record was marred a month later while umpiring a softball game. He drew a $30 fine for identifying himself to a white lieutenant as “Mr. Bell.” Insisting that normal military courtesy regulations are waived during athletic competitions. Bell claimed the lieutenant– a grandstand spectator who joined an argument between the umpire and two players on the field–was out of order and the citation was no more than his white superiors seizing a opportunity to retaliate for the night club incident. ‘If my tour of duty had not been over, he said, I would have stayed and fought the case’.
Open and vocal allegations of racism no longer are unusual among black servicemen. Rep. Diggs, who said he had received thousands of complaints from all branches of service during his 14 years on Capitol Hill. He recently disclosed plans to investigate the July 20th Camp Lejeune, NC racial incident that resulted in the death of one white Marine and injury to 14 others (Jet August 14). The acting Defense Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, L. Howard Bennett, said his office has probed numerous allegations of racism, though the policy of not identifying troops by race has hampered investigations.
Meanwhile, black militancy increases. A number of blacks have risked punitive action rather than exert force against blacks in ghetto riots, and others are punished for refusing to fight in Vietnam. Black troops from Ft. Belvoir–in civilian clothing–were among the anti-war demonstrators who marred President Nixon’s inauguration last January. Last year, the Navy created a special staff to handle race relations, and Marine top brass in Washington have been sent directives to all base commanding officers supporting young black recruits’ rights to wear neatly groomed Afro hair styles. Plus, reliable reports from the Pentagon indicate that black re-enlistments have dwindled considerably in the last few years.
S/Sgt. Bell notes from his Army experiences, the young black man of today grew up listening to Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown, and he is not going to accept the old white racist attitude. He is willing to suffer the consequences by telling them to go to hell. Bell adds, that with doors opening in civilian life , the young black man is finding it less advantageous to join a racist Army.
The late Sgt. Earl K. Bell became a Military Policeman (MP) and returned home to become a DC cop to make his community a safer place. He rose to the rank of Sergeant only to face the same racism he thought he had left behind in Germany. My older brother Alfred joined the U. S. Marshall service and they both encountered “The Thin Blue Line and Code of Silence” use to stunt their growth in law-enforcement. Today “The Establishment” is using that same military and flag as a camouflage to stunt the growth of black athletes in the NFL. Its rather ironic in 1969 in the above story my brother Earl recognized, “Blacks who dared to speak out were labeled Troublemakers, and sympathetic whites were branded nigger lovers, and were disciplined as badly as blacks if they violated any rules. Worse still, Black officers, apparently protecting their positions, did little to correct inequities” In 2017 forty-eight years later the exact same thing can be said of today’s superstar athletes and media personalities across the board. Today there is a very thin line between ‘COURAGE and a Coward’!

Look to the Crucified Christ
When, in your helplessness and deadness, you say, “What shall I do?” Jesus says, “Look away from yourself to the Son of Man, lifted up on a cross to die for your sins.” The work of the Spirit in the new birth is to make us alive so that we see the glory of Christ crucified and risen. So look to him. Look to the Son of Man.
And when you hear Jesus say, “The Spirit blows where it wills,” don’t hear him taking from you the will that you treasure, but hear him giving to you eyes to see Christ as your treasure.

Jackson Mayor Announces Grant to Rehab 46 Township Housing and Rental Units
Jackson Township Mayor Michael Reina and the Jackson Township Committee have announced a grant, made possible through the township’s affordable housing funds, that will bring 46 Jackson Township substandard housing or rental units up to code.
Rehabco, Inc., the designated administrative agency for the Jackson Township Housing Rehabilitation Program, said grants up to $25,000 per owner-occupied or renter-occupied unit are available on a first-come-first-serve basis to income eligible individuals who provide a completed application and supporting material.
The occupants of the units must have incomes that fall within the (2011) income guidelines established for Ocean County by the N.J. Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and/or Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). Income limits are $51,179 for a family of one; $58,490 for a family of two; $65,802 for a family of three; $73,113 for a family of four; $78,962 for a family of five; $84,811 for a family of six; $90,660 for a family of seven; and $96,509 for a family of eight.
Rehabco, an experienced company that has provided rehabilitation services for more than 20 years, reported that rehabilitation funds may be used only for repairs or system replacements necessary to bring a substandard housing units into compliance with municipal health, safety and building codes, applicable code violations, as well as any other cosmetic work that is reasonable and deemed necessary or is related to the necessary repairs.
A 10-year mortgage/lien will be placed on the property in the amount of the rehabilitation contract. That contract amount will only have to be repaid to the program IF the property is sold within 10 years. At the completion of the rehabilitation, all code deficiencies must be corrected and the units must be in compliance with New Jersey State Housing Code N.J.A.C. 5:23-6, among others.
The contractor will file all required permits. Once Rehabco has evidence of this, Rehabco will authorize the project to begin and monitor it to its conclusion. Township officials and Rehabco will perform all final inspections.
Substandard units are those units requiring repair or replacement of at least one major system. A major system is any one of the following: the roof; plumbing, including wells; heating, electrical, sanitary plumbing, including septic systems; load bearing structural systems, lead paint abatement; weatherization (building insulation for attic, exterior walls and crawl space, siding to improve energy efficiency, replacement storm windows and storm doors and replacement windows and doors).
Interested property owners may submit preliminary applications to the program staff. If after the program staff reviews a preliminary application and the owner-occupant appears to be income eligible, an interview will be arranged with the applicant to make a formal application to the program. At the time of the interview, the applicant must present required documentation.
To determine income eligibility and program certification, the following documentation is required. All wage earners in a household, 18 years of age or older, will be required to prove household income. Property owners must include a copy of the deed to the property; proof that property taxes and water and sewer bills are current; proof of property insurance, including liability, fire and flood insurance where necessary; and signed copies of the previous year’s federal and state income tax returns.
Also required are documentation of all taxable and non-taxable income received by all household members. This includes wages (pay stubs), pension, annuity, disability, unemployment, Social Security & Supplemental, interest, dividends, Welfare, alimony, child support, capital gains, business income, rental property income, public assistance, income received from child care or home cleaning, etc. Income documentation for household minors and full-time students is required, but will be waived in determining household gross annual income.
Applicants for rental rehabilitation funding must provide a list of tenants and the rents paid by each. The program staff will contact the tenants to provide evidence of income eligibility of the occupants of the units.
Interested property owners may submit preliminary applications to the program staff. If after the program staff reviews a preliminary application and an owner-occupant appears to be income eligible, an interview will be arranged with the applicant for a formal application to the program. At the time of the interview, the applicant must present required documentation.
After the initial interview and the program staff has substantiated that the occupant is income-eligible, a Letter of Eligibility will be forwarded to the applicant.
Applications are available at the Jackson Township Planning Department, Jackson Town Hall, 95 W. Veterans Highway, Jackson N.J. or from Rehabco, Inc. Office, 470 Mantoloking Road, Brick N.J.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Discretion is advised. Following is a story about self-harm and suicide.
This piece originally published on Across the Margin.
My therapist had introduced me to another of her clients: a woman in her mid-40s with a history of self-harm. She had a kind of loose-skinned thinness brought about not by her age but by the incessant tanning she hoped would camouflage her scars. Her natural teeth had clearly been replaced by dentures, giving her a look that lay in a place between her actual age and twenty years older.

It was during our tax-prep that I knew we needed to get away together.
We had spent the 2016 tax year throwing W-2s, 1099s, anything that might register in a schedule A, B, C, or Z into tax folders. She marked hers “2016 Taxes” and I marked mine “New Taxes.” When she asked me that morning to put the tax folder in my bag so that we have it at the appointment, it never dawned on me that there would be two separate folders to bring in.

Why do you pretend to be something you are not is the question that echoed out within my head as I laid there in the cold. It was clear that they had discovered that I wasn’t truly who I was and all the things I did were just luck. And just as luck fades so did my great feats of intelligence. They faded out leaving me blank and in a haze of panic.

She couldn’t stop grinning. Unaware of the fact that she was, Katie also couldn’t stop singing. It was one of the songs the Sheriff liked so much, “Everyday it’s getting closer, mmm hmm, it’s getting closer, going faster than a roller coaster…” She couldn’t help herself, Katie was over the top on this one, she was practically bursting with anticipation. “What a day!” Katie had to get on her tiptoes to sit on her bike, after that it was cake, just balancing and pedaling. She didn’t concern herself at all about stopping and how that would all work out.

Lorraine moved in as planned. Only seven days separated our upcoming birthdays, so we planned a bash of epic proportions. Because we were both turning 20, we recruited an older friend to purchase nearly 100 dollars in liquor, and invited everyone we knew with the promise of an open bar. Nearly 70 people showed up over the course of the evening to celebrate with the two of us. Neither of us knew some of the attendees because they were friends of friends, but it didn’t matter and there was an open invitation to everyone to crash anywhere they could find space rather than driving home intoxicated. I spent the evening making friends with everyone I came in contact with, truly enjoying my party. I drank heavily, and for the third time in my entire life, smoked pot.

Established in 1902, Clos du Marquis is the second wine of Ch. Leoville Las-Cases, usually exhibiting typical Saint-Julien structure, complexity, balance, distinction and strong ageing potential.
A wine of generous proportions yet pinpoint precision, the word “racy” has been used more than once to describe the 2016 Clos du Marquis. A richly exotic and expansive palate is centered around a sturdy backbone and exquisite structure resulting in a classically styled wine that will continue to develop with cellaring.
"Medium to deep garnet-purple coloured and composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2017 Clos du Marquis gives up gorgeous notions of crushed plums, blackberries and cassis with hints of chocolate box, pencil lead, menthol and lavender. The palate is medium-bodied, very finely crafted and refreshing with firm yet fine-grained tannins, great intensity and a long, mineral-laced finish.
Thanks to its proximity to the estuary, Léoville Las Cases was spared from frost damage in 2017. There was only a small amount of frost on the western edge of the Clos du Marquis vineyard, which was until 2007 a second wine, but now comes from its own dedicated vineyard to the west of Léoville Las Cases, but of course still in Saint-Julien. All the final blends were made in December and the wines were in barrel before Christmas."
91-93 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW
"Cabernet Sauvignon focus (72%) with the older vines. 27% Merlot, 1% Cabernet Franc. 55% new oak. pH 3.73, IPT 65.
Deepest crimson with black core. Gorgeous dark fruit, with savoury/graphite as counterpoint to the cassis. A hint of oak char but at the right level for harmony at this point. Benchmark Cabernet flavours, pure and refined and fresh. Very precise fruit, long. Firm but dry. Smooth, deep texture and excellent freshness. 13.48% Drink 2025-2035"
17 points, Julia Harding MW for jancisrobinson.com
"The 2017 Clos du Marquis was cropped at 37hl/ha between 15 September and 4 October during an overall 15 days of actual picking. It is matured in 55% new oak and includes 6.2% vin depresse from 25 different lots. It has a more backward, tightly wound bouquet than I was expecting but it opens up with time. And wow, give it 10 minutes and that estuarine saline scent feels quite pungent. There is impressive density imbued into this Clos du Marquis, if not the detail, the precision of last year’s wine. There is plenty of “rondeur” towards the finish with a pleasant saltiness flanked by a hint of salted liquorice on the finish."
90-92 points, Neal Martin
"Firm and silky wine with very pretty dark-berry and cherry character with currant undertones. Pure quality of fruit is serious. Very salty on the finish. Bright acidity, too."
93-94 points, James Suckling
"The 2017 Clos du Marquis is fresh, lifted and wonderfully energetic, and yet also has quite a bit of textural depth. The flavours really sizzle in this highly expressive Saint-Julien from Hubert Delon. There is a sense of energy and tension to the 2017 that is impossible to miss. Much of that is attributable to the Cabernet Sauvignon that is the core of the wine this year. Floral notes reappear on the finish, adding lift to the creamy, layered finish. I can’t wait to taste it from bottle."
90-93 points, Antonio Galloni
Small but mighty, the appellation of St.-Julien, on Bordeaux’s Left Bank, has long enjoyed a reputation for exceptional quality and consistency. Compared to its neighbours in Bordeaux, St.-Julien produces the highest proportion of classified-growth wines, with more than three-quarters of the vineyards devoted to top-ranked producers. They include several “Super Second” chateaux and many other outstanding classified growths and Cru Bourgeois. Saint-Julien wines are beautifully balanced, with a great richness, depth of colour, and elegance. Cabernet Sauvignon prevails, with Merlot and Cabernet Franc used for blending in the classic Bordeaux style. | <urn:uuid:f9758bfd-dc96-4847-8de7-92149476b00f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.langtons.com.au/product/3886/1/2017/chateau-leoville-las-cases/clos-du-marquis | 2018-11-14T08:59:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741764.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114082713-20181114104713-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.935698 | 971 | [

Instead of resembling immutable proprietary software, a species’ genetic information is more like open-source code that is constantly tweaked and optimized to meet the users’ specific needs. So, which parts of the code have withstood the test of time, and which parts have undergone rapid evolutionary change? Joseph Ecker and his collaborators developed a simple method to comb whole genomes for all the software fixes and security patches accumulated over time. As a part of an international consortium, these scientists recently catalogued the genetic variations in over 1,001 strains of the mustard weed Arabidopsis thaliana that had been collected from the wild all over the world. As a general rule, genes that don’t change over time perform important housekeeping functions, while genes that vary widely are likely to mediate interactions with the environment. Identifying the genes that can help plants withstand challenging conditions such as heat, drought, high acidity, or salinity will give plant geneticists the tools to create tougher breeds that can easily adjust to new ecological niches arising due to climate change. | <urn:uuid:ae8c8318-03f8-413f-9a89-e41d5d1baa3c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://ecker.salk.edu/ | 2018-11-15T15:17:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742779.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115141220-20181115163220-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.938594 | 214 | [

The team that traded away Jonquel Jones on draft night had a firsthand opportunity to witness the Bahamian forward set WNBA history.
Jones became the league’s all time single season rebounds record holder yesterday in the regular season finale against the Los Angeles Sparks at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
She tracked down a missed jumper from Nneka Ogwumike at the 8:35 mark in the third quarter to corral the record setting board and surpass the previous total of 398.
Jones finished with 10 rebounds to bring the record setting total to 403 for the season.
She also added 10 points for her 20th double double of the season.
The Sparks went on to win, 81-70 to close out the regular season with a record of 26-8, and the league’s top mark of 16-1 at home.
Jones’ historic season included several milestones, including becoming just the second player in league history to record three 20-rebound games in a single season.
In the season opener on May 13, she finished with eight points and 20 rebounds against the Atlanta Dream and had a 23-point, 21-rebound performance against the Chicago Sky on May 28. She finished with 14 points, a career high 22 rebounds and career high six assists in an 86-76 win over the Washington Mystics just last week.
The New York Liberty’s Tina Charles was the previous record holder with 398 rebounds and was the only other player to record three 20-rebound games in a single season. Charles set the record in 2010 as a rookie with the Sun. In that season, she averaged 15.5 points and 11.7 rebounds per game.
Jones finished the year averaging 15.5 points and 11.9 rebounds per game.
She finished with rebounding percentage of 24 percent which was another record setter as it surpassed Cheryl Ford’s rate of 23 percent set back in 2006. Jones also became the seventh player to average 11 rebounds in a season. She is also just the seventh player in league history to average at least 15 points and 11 rebounds in a season.
Jones was selected by the Sparks with the sixth overall pick of the 2016 WNBA Draft, but was sent to the Sun in a draft night trade in exchange for Chelsea Gray and a future first round pick.
She averaged 6.8 points and 3.7 rebounds as a rookie last season.
She received one vote in the 2016 WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year tally to finish in a 5-way tie for fifth behind winner Jantel Lavender.
The Sun finished last season 14-20, 5th in Eastern Conference, just missing the postseason after a dramatic midseason turnaround.
This season, the Sun improved to 21-13 and clinched a top four seed in the playoff standings. It also solidified that they will host a second-round single elimination contest on September 10 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The winner will advance to the best-of-five WNBA semifinals.
“I had confidence coming into this year that we had a lot of young talent,” Sun general manager/coach Curt Miller said after his team wrapped up a playoff berth. “Knowing there were still some unknown pieces, it may have come a year earlier than I thought.” | <urn:uuid:a760e196-20c1-4f7a-8c60-31ac440308ad> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://10thyearseniors.com/2017/09/04/jones-sets-the-rebounds-record/ | 2018-11-16T22:04:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743216.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116214920-20181117000244-00053.warc.gz | en | 0.972096 | 689 | [

As young people begin their search for a career, it is likely that many will consider one of the vast opportunities available in the computer industry. Skilled computer professionals are in steady demand, despite the normal fluctuations of the world economy.
Rise of the New Economy
At the beginning of the twentieth-first century, widespread computerization of business, education, and entertainment meant that virtually all aspects of the global economy were dependent, in one way or another, on the fortunes of the computer industry. This effect was heightened during the late 1990s when the so-called " dot.com " market skyrocketed, boosting stock portfolios for investors worldwide. Young entrepreneurs backed with financing from venture capitalists created multi-million dollar Internet companies based on ideas that were often untested against traditional business standards of profit and loss projections. Stock prices soared as hopeful investors jumped at the chance to capitalize on the tremendous wealth being made as these start-up companies created the latest software and Internet products and services.
Soon it became clear that many, if not most, of these new economy companies would not become or remain profitable to their stockholders. When the standard measures of business success were applied to the high technology market, the entire U.S. economy began to feel the impact. High tech consulting firms went bankrupt. Telecommunications networks designed to support the once-growing demand for digital services collapsed overnight. News reports of layoffs in major computer industry companies became common. The future suddenly appeared less positive for "techies" who had come to expect high financial rewards in a short period of time. Economic analysts characterized this shift as a correction in the market; computer professionals considered it more of a disaster. However, the market for computer professionals remains strong, in part because every segment of the U.S. and world economy depends on fast, reliable computer networks and equipment. Professionals are needed to create and maintain this infrastructure.
Choosing and Preparing for a Career
There is a need for people to design, build, connect, and maintain computers and computer networks; these jobs fall into the general category of hardware engineering. There is also a need for people who can conceptualize and create computer software; these jobs fall into the general category of computer programming. Within each broad type of computer-related work there are many specialized technical functions, as well as the kinds of industry support jobs common to other market segments, including administration, sales and marketing, and customer service and support. Computer professionals also include the men and women who teach and perform research in academic settings.
Individuals interested in pursuing a career as a computer professional should generally plan to earn at least a four-year degree (bachelor's level) in computer science or computer engineering. Fluency in multiple computer programming languages is vital for anyone interested in software development; the more languages learned, the more valuable the prospective employee. A solid understanding of hardware infrastructure is important, as well, especially for those interested in network creation or administration.
Not all computer professionals have an academic background in computer science or engineering, however. Often, people with advanced degrees in business, education, or something as seemingly unrelated to the computer industry as music, art, journalism, or criminology will find a niche as a computer industry professional. These individuals may not be involved in the technical aspects of software development or network configuration. However, their expertise may help provide unique services such as computer training, Internet access company development, web site design, or the marketing of computer-based services to schools, governments, or nonprofit agencies.
Most American universities now offer a variety of academic programs that will prepare students to become computer professionals. Many well-known schools throughout the United States, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), specialize in technology-related fields. There are also accredited certification programs available from industry giants such as Cisco Systems. As in all career fields, the selection of a training or preparatory program should be based on a match between student interests, strengths, and career goals, and the particular program and training options of any given school.
Computer professionals who specialize in the hardware or infrastructure aspect of the computer industry are the ones who design, build, test, and improve the computers and networks that support the economy. From the design of a mouse to the building of a supercomputer , hardware engineers are needed to create the physical tools of the computer age. Some hardware engineers specialize in designing networks of computers. Others focus on creating computer peripherals to meet the unique requirements of special needs users. Hardware specialists are needed to repair and modify equipment. Computer hardware engineers need to understand the technical aspects of computer design and connection; ideally, they will also learn to understand how people use and interact with computers, as well, which can help them create better equipment.
Without software to operate the hardware, computer systems are useless. Computer programmers are charged with the duty of writing the code that creates user-friendly software. Programmers are responsible for conceiving, designing, and building software applications. Sometimes they work alone. Often, teams of programmers apply their skills in a shared effort to create complex software. Computer programmers need to work methodically and analytically. Many programmers specialize in writing software for particular business, education, or entertainment purposes; the most adept programming specialists learn that it is important to communicate with users about what they want their finished software to accomplish.
Jobs in the Computer Industry
In addition to the people who create the tools—hardware and software— that one calls computers, there are professionals whose job it is to help businesses figure out the most effective way to use these tools. Many companies now have something called an Information Technology (IT) department. Information technology specialists work with a company to identify the best combinations of hardware, software, and networking to meet the company's needs. In some cases this is done externally, on a consulting basis; in other companies this may be handled by in-house technology staff. The IT specialist must typically figure out how to use a company's limited resources to maintain a system of computer-based communications equipment from a vast array of vendors, always with an eye toward improving the firm's competitive edge in the market. Career paths for IT professionals start with entry-level positions and can lead to managerial and executive positions with titles such as information technology director, chief information officer, and chief technology officer.
Many other jobs are available for computer professionals with the right combination of technical and other skills. Since people need to learn to use their company's technology resources, from hardware to software, there is a steady need for educators and training personnel. Repair specialists who can troubleshoot hardware and software problems on very short notice are in high demand wherever there are complex networks to maintain. Software companies need knowledgeable personnel to staff their customer support departments and help personal computer owners fix their problems by phone or by e-mail. There will always be a place for creative thinkers who can create and fill market niches with specialized software and hardware products and services.

Here’s a deeply discomforting fact: in 2016, the world spent a startling $1.69 trillion in military expenditure and purchase of weapons! In the same year, the economic and financial cost of violence was estimated at $14.3 trillion. The composite cost of international arms trade and its effect on human life can be said, therefore, to be close to $16 trillion!
This infographic highlights the top 10 list of global arms traders – note that 7 of the 10 global arms companies are based in the USA – and they rule the market with 58% of global sales!

Now we know what some members of Congress were doing when they should’ve been dealing with the fiscal cliff and passing an aid package for victims of Sandy: They were catching a movie.
And, ever since seeing Zero Dark Thirty, their main interest has been catching members of the intelligence community who consulted on it with director Kathryn Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal, the Oscar-winning team behind 2008’s The Hurt Locker. This past Thursday, the Senate Intelligence Committee launched an investigation into the matter. Seriously.
The critically hailed dramatization of the hunt for Osama bin Laden opens nationally this week, so it’s probably the perfect time for a recap of this unprecedented movie brouhaha. (Google as I may, I can’t find a comprehensive analysis anywhere.) Let’s begin with the torture. Just as the film does.
Bigelow starts things off with a powerful juxtaposition. The screen is black as we listen to a collage of terrified voices, recordings of real 911 calls from the morning of September 11, 2001. The first thing we see is the brutal interrogation of a detainee two years later at a CIA black site. The inference is clear: The former has led to the latter.
Jessica Chastain plays Maya, an operative “just off
the plane from D.C.,” in the words of Dan (Jason Clarke), the colleague responsible for the rough stuff. She quickly gets into the swing of things, employing enhanced techniques herself (assisted by a silent hulk who supplies slaps and punches at her direction).
Eventually, a suspect Dan and Maya have abusively interrogated for days gives up the name of bin Laden’s courier, the figure who’ll ultimately lead agents to the compound in Abbottabad. Again, the inference is crystal clear: Torture and enhanced techniques led to the information that led to bin Laden.
Except they didn’t. At least, not according to key players such as President Obama, ex-CIA director Leon Panetta and acting head Michael Morell, as well as high-ranking members of the Senate Committee on Armed Services and others in Congress who’ve reviewed the classified record.
“You believe when watching this movie that waterboarding and torture lead to information that leads then to the elimination of Osama bin Laden,” Sen. John McCain grumped to CNN last month. “That’s not the case.” McCain is part of the group — which includes Senators Dianne Feinstein and Carl Levin — that has reviewed government documents and now wants to get to the bottom of who at the CIA told what to Bigelow and Boal and, by implication, why the filmmakers made a movie suggesting torture was pivotal to the manhunt’s success when it wasn’t.
Given how immersive and meticulously detailed the film’s account of the decade-long search for the world’s most wanted man is, it’s surprising how uncompelling its creators’ response to the controversy has proved. In a statement the filmmakers released together, they denied their picture takes a position on the role torture played. “The film shows that no single method was necessarily responsible for solving the manhunt, nor can any single scene taken in isolation fairly capture the totality of efforts the film dramatizes.” Huh?
Perhaps in an attempt to improve on that nonanswer, Boal has since told the New Yorker, “It’s a movie, not a documentary. We’re trying to make the point that waterboarding and other harsh tactics were part of the CIA program.”
The problem with that, of course, is that everybody already knew they were. We hardly needed a Hollywood procedural — even a well-made, immensely watchable one — to inform us that America took the moral gloves off in the aftermath of 9/11. The question remains, then: Why did Bigelow and Boal decide to make the point that torture led to intelligence that led to bin Laden when that evidently wasn’t the story they got from insiders? There appear to be two possibilities.
The first is that they’re pro-torture. That seems unlikely. The second is that they simply believed it made for a better story — that a saga of dogged detective work wouldn’t have proved dramatic enough — and somehow failed to anticipate that poetic license on this subject would provoke such outrage. In other words, they screwed up, as Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman suggested in a December 19 piece, writing, “One of the things that occurred to me was the possibility that the director and screenwriter didn’t understand their own movie.”
It’s safe to say the creators of Zero Dark Thirty expected to be hearing more about Oscar nominations and less about Senate panels as their movie neared wide release. When it hits theaters Friday, everyone will finally have an opportunity to see what all the hubbub’s about. When we’ll start getting straight answers from Bigelow and Boal, on the other hand, is anybody’s guess. | <urn:uuid:ae55f527-fa0c-4504-911f-3dc2ce07de7d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://m.sevendaysvt.com/vermont/zero-dark-thirty/Content?oid=2242614 | 2018-11-18T04:29:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.964683 | 1,065 | [

An Introduction To Development Conversations
Have you ever, as a manager, had a one-on-one with an employee, come out of it feeling satisfied that you were on the same page, and then found out later that your employee emerged with an entirely different understanding? Maybe it was as simple as you thinking you were praising them and them hearing criticism. Maybe it was as complicated as your telling them they were on a performance plan and them hearing that they were a high performer. Maybe you never did find out what the discrepancy was; you just never saw the alignment you thought you had created.
We created the Development Conversations because we wanted to find a better way to create alignment between managers and employees, one that worked. Over time, we found that bypassing the traditional evaluation models and focusing on what signals people were giving and getting, such as how often and what kinds of supervision employees received, produced much better conversations about what would support that employee’s development.
These conversations eventually sorted themselves into five Development Zones, which describe the employee’s current situation and provide a framework for articulating what the employee’s development looks like and how the manager can support it.
This employee is a trusted high performer who is ready for the next challenge; what do they want to do next?
This employee is developing inside their existing role; how can you best support them?
This employee’s demonstrated skills may no longer be needed; what other skills/talents do they have and where might they be deployed?
There’s a mismatch between this employee and their existing role; where would they be better aligned?
You’re not seeing either effort or results; what’s going on?
Development Conversations are a powerful tool to align managers and their direct reports because they first help ensure that both people agree on the existing situation and they then frame the conversation on next steps.
If a manager thinks the employee’s situation is Challenge, but the employee thinks it’s Unleash, this framework will surface that discrepancy at the beginning, instead of leaving it implicit where it can create misunderstandings.
Once everyone agrees on the Zone in question, the resulting conversation will be much more powerful and productive. | <urn:uuid:54ace4e8-4f45-4567-bbc8-0e8c3212ce5a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.foolworks.com/conversations/ | 2018-11-18T04:41:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.973422 | 460 | [

One game tonight in the Nfl.
Betting is 75% on Green Bay and the line is moved contrary to the betting from 5.5 to 2.5. Models have the line about right. And Variables point to Green Bay. If you like Detroit it much too late to get on them now. Another thing at Chris they have the opener 3 . Sometimes the pinnacle opener is off. So you should probably be aware of that in evaluating the game. In any event even 3 to 2 makes it too late to be on Detroit. This game is a clear cut pass for me.
Good Luck Tonight which ever side you pick. I will be watching not betting the game!
Wednesday we had a good day for plays going 2-0 on college Hoop totals. Buffalo Under 152.5 was an easy winner as the total score was only 118! Iowa Under 155.5 looked like it was going to be an easy winner but at the end of regulation the total score was 126 the problem…OT. But even with OT we won the under. So a 2-0 day even with one of the games going into OT.
College hoops really could not be any more solid right now. And the good thing is its not too late to get on board. We only have 1 month of hoops done and plenty left including of course tournament time. In addition we have NFL and College football still in full swing. And then there is the NBA and NHL in full swing. All sports are included in the small monthly subscription.
For those of you that have been following me some 12 years now one of the things that everyone can agree with is the complete transparency I provide. All records are updated daily. And you can see the results for all sports going back to when I started this site. Not many services if any provide this type of transparency. I can do this because 1.

Well the rumor turned out false on Tuesday as Yellen came out and again spooked the markets making no mistake that the fed is going to tighten in spite of the data not only showing it not necesarry but also showing that this would be the first time in History that the Fed Tightened with world conditions in this dismal of a state. World leaders are begging America not to tighten. Europe is opening the flood gates with liquidity as is china. But The US will have none of it. They are going to tighten.
To make it worse we have three fed governors speaking today including Yellen again. I guess she felt that the markets down almost 200 yesterday was not enough. So they will in all probability finish the job off today.
I am long a portfolio of stocks and now down to 5 swing trades. I have had six swing trade close this month all with a profit! Not bad considering yesterday. Lets see if I can keep it up.
I suspect this downdraft is going to be a buying opportunity. It was looking like it was going to be a 1 day event but at 5:30 the markets went in free fall. So I suspect the jobless claims was very good and thus assures that fed increasing rates. Although it seems they ignore when they speak about unemployment the ever increasing record number of people that are not in the workforce. If you add them back in unemployment would be over 10%. But then that would not be politically correct to do that:)

Kate Middleton rejected her first choice of university in favour of St. Andrews so she and Prince William would be undergraduates simultaneously, a new book claims
Kate Middleton rejected her first choice of university in favour of St. Andrews so she and Prince William would be undergraduates simultaneously, a new book claims.
The book, entitled Kate: The Future Queen, by journalist Katie Nicholl, alleges that Kate decided to study at St. Andrews once she found out it was the university Prince William would be attending.
Previous claims have been made suggesting that Carole Middleton had ‘pushed’ Kate into applying for a place at St. Andrews.
The book claims that the Duchess took a gap year at the same time as
William, and reapplied to St. Andrews so that she and the Prince would be
undergraduates together, despite getting the grades for her first-choice
A careers advisor and house tutor at Marlborough College, Kate’s former school, confirmed to the author that Middleton’s first choice of university was Edinburgh.
The new book also states that a ‘jittery’ Carole Middleton confronted Prince William
over his intentions towards her daughter in 2009, wondering whether he
intended to propose to Kate. A family friend is quoted as saying
that Prince William reassured Carole that the couple would indeed get hitched.
Kate and Prince William first became involved as undergraduates studying history of art at St. Andrews in 2001, and briefly split in 2007.
The couple welcomed their first child, Prince George, in July and last week Kate stepped out looking radiant in her first public outing since the birth of her son, dressed in a mix of her favourite high street and designer duds to join William as he started a round-the-isle marathon on Anglesey. | <urn:uuid:3145f746-451a-499c-a7a6-6e917d822d90> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/celebrity-news/kate-middleton-picked-st-andrews-to-get-close-to-prince-will-alleges-new-book-107764 | 2018-11-19T10:13:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745522.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119084944-20181119110944-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.973904 | 377 | [

- The card is suspended due to an unsubstantiated prior transaction.
- The card has not been activated.

The IRS requires that all transactions through an FSA are documented and verified to be eligible medical expenses. The Navia Benefits Card has the technology to identify certain expenses as eligible (such as Copays and Prescriptions). Card transactions for other types of expenses commonly require documentation to verify the expense as eligible.
If your employer offers an FSA through Navia, you’ll enroll during your employer’s specified open enrollment period. Check with your HR or benefits department to determine when you’ll have an opportunity to enroll.
You cannot change your election amount during the year unless you experience a qualifying event. Common qualifying events include the addition or subtraction of a dependent through marriage, birth, adoption, death, or divorce.
Yes. Re-enrolling each year allows you to reassess your yearly expenditures and increase or decrease your election amount accordingly.
The Health Care FSA is subject to the “Use-It or Lose-It” rule. This means that if you do not use your all of your annual election within the plan year, the remaining funds are returned to your employer and are not refundable to you.
Check your employer’s plan design to see if the Grace Period or Carryover feature has been put in place to help reduce your risk of loss.
The Health Care FSA and Limited Health Care FSA are unaffected. Both you and your spouse could contribute the maximum to the plan and each FSA can cover both of your expenses. For example, if you both elected for $2550 in each FSA, you would have a total of $5100 FSA dollars available.
The Day Care FSA is a $5000 calendar year household maximum allowing you to set aside funds based on the following guidelines:
- $5,000 if you are married filing jointly,
- $5,000 if you are single, or
- $2,500 if you are married filing separately
If you each have a Day Care FSA, be sure to follow the guidelines above and not exceed a $5000 election in a calendar year.
The FSA covers you, your spouse and any taxable dependents. Even if your spouse and dependents are on a separate medical insurance plan, their expenses are still eligible under your FSA.
Generally, no. You can only cover your domestic partner under the FSA if your domestic partner is a taxable dependent of yours.
If you submitted a claim for reimbursement, your reimbursement will be sent based on your employer’s reimbursement schedule.
Yes. You can either provide your banking information for direct deposit at time of enrollment or at any time through your participant account.
You’re unable to make any changes to your election unless you experience a qualifying event. However, in addition to the normal list of qualifying events, there are some special events exclusive to the Day Care FSA:
- A change in your day care costs, such as a rate decrease or increase, or receiving free day care.
- A change in your need for day care (your spouse loses employment or has a change in work schedule).
- Your dependent ceases to satisfy the eligibility requirements.
The HSA is considered a triple-tax advantaged account
- Contributions to the HSA are tax-free.
- Interest gained on savings or investments within the HSA is tax-free
- Withdrawals for eligible medical expenses are tax-free
You qualify to enroll in the HSA if:
- You are enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
- You are not claimed as a dependent on someone’s taxes
- You are not covered by any other health insurance policies that are not considered HDHPs (this includes Medicare and unlimited Flexible Spending Accounts)
- Your spouse does not participate an FSA or HRA through their employer
- You do not participate in the Health Care FSA through your employer
Any expense that is considered medically necessary. Check out our Eligible Expense list to see what’s eligible!
You, your spouse, and dependent’s expenses are eligible for reimbursement under the HSA. Your spouse and dependents do not need to be enrolled under your medical plan for their expenses to be considered eligible. You must be enrolled in the HDHP through your employer in order to make contributions to the HSA.
What if I decide to enroll in a non-qualified HSA medical plan? What happens to the funds in my HSA?
If you choose to enroll in a non-high deductible health plan (HDHP), you are no longer eligible to contribute funds into the HSA. You still have access to use the funds within the HSA, you just cannot make further contributions until you re-enroll in a qualified HDHP.
Individuals age 55 and older may contribute an additional $1,000 per year above the HSA maximum.
At age 65, or if you become disabled, funds in your HSA can be used for non-medical expenses. Those funds would have to be claimed as taxable income and regular income tax would apply.
Under the age of 65, non-medical withdrawals from your HSA would have to be claimed as taxable income and an additional 20% tax penalty would be applied.
The HSA is yours. Any funds within the HSA at the time of your termination remain accessible to you after termination. Just keep in mind that you can no longer contribute funds into the HSA unless you are enrolled in an HSA qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). | <urn:uuid:303dc815-551b-43c3-9edd-ff87b1307fbc> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.naviabenefits.com/participants/resources/faq/ | 2018-11-19T09:24:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745522.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119084944-20181119110944-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.949079 | 1,393 | [

The Most Asked Question
I’ve been practicing criminal defense for nearly 15 years, consulted with thousands of people charged with criminal offenses and personally represented thousands charged with DUI. Most often, each person is worried about losing their driver’s license.
Will I Lose My Driver’s License
There are two separate proceedings that result from one dui arrest. Each is filed by different government offices and they have different procedures, standards and penalties. One is the civil side; the other is the criminal side. Each separate case involves the possible license suspension.
The Civil Side: The Administrative License Revocation (also called the ALR) is initiated by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Since driving is a privilege and not a right, the DMV can take your privilege easier than say taking away your freedom. In fact, the DMV will automatically take your license for six months or a year unless you contest it! Then they shift the burden to you to show that you were not driving or not drinking.
However, we do not contest the ALR revocation in every case. You can drive during the suspension period after installing an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. In 2012, Nebraska law changed taking away the right to use the ignition interlock if you file a petition and lose.
The Criminal Side: The second case is through the country criminal court. The court, as part of any sentence, must take your license as follows:
First Offense – 60 days with probation, or 6 months if you are sentenced to jail.
Second Offense – 1 year with probation and the same if you are sentenced to jail.
Third Offense – 2 to 15 years with probation and 15 years if you are sentenced to jail.
Fourth Offense – 15 years if you are sentenced to probation or jail.
However, you may be able to drive for all purposes if you have an ignition interlock device installed on your car. This is a portable breath-testing device that tests you for alcohol consumption each time you start your car and periodically while driving. Its cumbersome and intrusive, but it does allow you to drive.
So how do the two fit together? If you win the ALR, your license is mailed back to you. When you go to court, you’ll have a suspension, but may be able to drive with the ignition interlock. If you lose your license to the ALR, the court-imposed suspension is credited with the time you were suspended under the ALR. They run at the same time. | <urn:uuid:318cc4e3-9fd9-463d-8be8-487d1f1a420a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.omahaduidefenselaw.com/the-most-asked-question.html | 2018-11-20T17:46:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746528.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120171153-20181120193153-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.948298 | 511 | [

By Andrew Mason
No. 20 Boston University Field Hockey added to its losing streak on Sunday, this time after an 8-1 loss to the No. 1 University of Connecticut Huskies. The Terriers have now dropped their third straight game after a 4-0 start to the season.
The now 7-0 UConn offense has been firing on all cylinders in 2017, and Sunday was no exception. A team that averages just over 20 shot attempts per game, outshot BU 23-4, turning eight into points.
As they have been able to do almost all year, the Huskies were able to keep penalty corner situations in their favor, holding a 9-2 advantage over BU.
Freshman forward Miya Denison grabbed the only goal for the Terriers on the day, coming in the 11th minute of play. The rebound and putback places Denison alongside freshman Ailsa Connolly in first for total team goals, with three on the season.
BU was unable to find the back of the net for the remainder of the game, allowing UConn to push the tempo and finish on a 7-0 scoring run. The Huskies began to pull away even before halftime due to four quick goals made in the final 10 minutes of the first half.
Senior forward Charlotte Veitner had the hot hand for the Huskies, recording four goals and three assists. The two-time First Team All-American’s performance leaves her with more than double the amount of goals as her next closest teammate, Margot Colenbrander (5).
Terrier goalkeepers Kathleen Keegan and Millie Baker split time perfectly down the middle once again, each finding 35 minutes of action. The high-powered Huskies offense put both Keegan and Baker to the test, as each saw over 10 shot attempts in their respective halves.
Keegan finished with five saves and five goals allowed, with Baker finding a bit more success on four saves and three goals allowed.
BU is in a rut, having been outscored by opponents 13-3 over the last three games. However, the Terriers have much to look forward to now with the longest road trip of the season behind them.
BU will kick off Patriot League play next weekend at home versus Lafayette. The Terriers are a promising 2-0 at New Balance Field in 2017, but they have not played at home since August 27. The game is set to begin at 12 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23. | <urn:uuid:2d3fbafd-bdf5-4258-a997-fd7d08cd8853> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://sportswtbu.com/2017/09/17/seven-unanswered-goals-results-in-big-loss-for-field-hockey/ | 2018-11-20T17:33:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746528.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120171153-20181120193153-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.968213 | 513 | [

Handing on the Llyndy baton
Llyndy Isaf, our special National Trust Wales farm in Snowdonia, will soon be home to a new young caretaker, full of energy, enthusiasm and fresh ideas.
Current Llyndy scholar Owain Jones handed over the shepherd's crook to James Evans, from Builth, at the Royal Welsh Show. James is now spending a summer working alongside Owain and will take on the 13-month management of the 614 acre upland farm in September.
The terrain and climate make Llyndy Isaf a challenging place to farm. The portfolio includes several Sites of Scientific Interest so there’s a strong emphasis on conservation. It’s a special place - and a special opportunity for 25-year-old James, who brings with him experience in farming sheep and cattle in Radnorshire.
In 2011 the National Trust launched a £1 million fundraising campaign to save Llyndy Isaf farm for the nation, which reached its target in just over seven months. The following year the Llyndy scholarship scheme was set up by the National Trust in partnership with Wales YFC, to encourage and support young people into the farming industry.
So far the emphasis of work at Llyndy has focussed on laying the foundations and getting the basics right. When Caryl Hughes, the first scholar began, she had her work cut out setting the place up, repairing the boundary fence and buying in stock.
The second scholar, Tudur Parry, drew on his beef cattle background to expand the herd of Welsh Black cattle and purchase a bull, while also gaining valuable experience in sheep farming. Owain Jones has been expanding his work to help out at Bryn y Bont, near Nantmor, to trial low impact conservation grazing for a hay meadow project.
Owain’s successor James is interested in drawing on the experience of other National Trust projects such as Parc Farm on the Great Orme and the shepherding project at Hafod y Llan, to see how he can strive for a good balance between production and conservation during his scholarship.
He also wants to build on the previous scholar’s work by trialling some of the latest schemes offered by Wales YFC at Llyndy. James says: “I can’t wait! I’ve been helping out on farms since a young age, but I’ve never had the chance to manage a farm myself before.

The next Yao Ming from China or the first true star from India is on the NBA’s wish list without question as the league makes inroads in those countries.
But when being realistic about where a potential goldmine of talented basketball players originates outside of North and South America and Europe, Africa is at the top of the list.
Not all that far from the days of Hakeem Olajuwon and Dikembe Mutombo, the NBA has recognized a growing number of basketball players from the vast continent and have established considerable grassroots efforts — such as Basketball without Borders — to expose basketball to more people through camps and clinics.
The league increased its effort this season bringing several high-profile NBA players and coaches to Johannesburg, South Africa for three days of basketball and life instruction for nearly 60 of Africa best players born in 1998.
“What will come of this is the development of more clinics, more camps and more youth competition,” said Toronto Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri, who was born in Nigeria. “It continues to grow, and this will expose more young players and give them more opportunities and we have to create that opportunity.
NBA players Joel Embiid, Gorgui Dieng and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute are among former Basketball Without Borders participants. Africa is important for the NBA, which has traveled to the continent 13 times for Basketball Without Borders and opened an office in Johannesburg in 2010.
This year’s Basketball without Borders will culminate on Saturday with the NBA’s first exhibition game in Africa. The game will feature Team Africa (Luol Deng, Bismack Biyombo, Giannis Antetokounompo, Serge Ibaka, Festus Ezeli and Dieng among others) vs. Team World (Chris Paul, Marc and Pau Gasol, Bradley Beal, Jeff Green, Nikola Vucevic, Boris and Trey Burke among others).
NBA commissioner Adam Silver, San Antonio’s Gregg Popovich and Brooklyn’s Lionel Hollins are coaches, and Atlanta’s Mike Budenholzer, Boston’s Brad Stevens, Olajuwon and Mutombo also made the trip.
‘I’m excited but it’s even more than that,” Deng told USA TODAY Sports. “Being from Africa, it was a dream to play in the NBA, which was almost unreachable and now to have the opportunity to go back and be part of this game, I’m proud.”
Los Angeles Clippers All-Star Chris Paul was on the fence when first approached about making the trip but his wife, Jada, encouraged him to go. Paul has made it a point to spend as much time with Deng as possible in South Africa.

“It’s a life-changing experience,” Paul told USA TODAY Sports. “Luol’s been telling me a lot of the history. It’s one thing to be in the States and have people tell you how big of an impact it is but you don’t understand it until you travel here and see it.
“To see the passion a guy like Masai has for the kids touches you and gives you goosebumps. They have a connection with the kids, and the kids love the game so much. That was the biggest surprise for me. I had no idea what to expect. The kids have been nothing short of amazing. They’ve been sponges.”
Paul said he was about to show camp participants how to utilize the Euro-step and campers told him they already knew how to execute that move.
“Once upon it time, it was America’s game,” said Paul who began reading Nelson Mandela’s autobiography Long Walk to Freedom before the trip.
Ujiri has made it a personal mission to reach kids through basketball. Each year, he holds two camps in Nigeria — one for the top 50 players ages 11-18 and one for big men 6-8 and taller. After Basketball Without Borders, Ujiri will travel to Nigeria, Kenya (where he will help build a court) and Rwanda.
Ujiri said African countries need more courts, infrastructure, quality coaches and more competitive games for younger players. That’s what he’s trying to accomplish through his Giants of African foundation.
“There is talent here,” Ujiri said. “We’re trying to give them opportunities to play younger.” | <urn:uuid:6191334c-aadf-4f1d-af32-383fadcad7b1> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://giantsofafrica.org/nba-helping-basketball-grow-africa-grassroots-efforts/ | 2018-11-14T13:14:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742020.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114125234-20181114151234-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.955615 | 999 | [

Randi and RJ had a vision of a beautiful backyard ceremony under a huge oak tree, and they got just that. With the help of Randi’s mother, maid of honor, and her MOH’s mother, their vision for their California wedding became a reality in the most beautiful (and personal) location in Valley Center, California.
Their wedding day style was a simple and relaxed vibe with rustic and boho elements. With a mixture of cacti, farm tables, and flower crowns their wedding was casual, fun, and dreamy all at the same time. We love that they incorporated personalized details along with natural elements found on the property. They embraced every element that their environment threw their way, and they created utter beauty for this celebration.
With the warm glow of the sun over the entire day, Marie Longhi Photography captured so much fun, joy, and beauty, and Michelle Garibay Events did a perfect job pulling together the details of Randi and RJ’s wedding day.
Make sure you check out the insight and advice that this couple shared with us as you scroll through the details and moments that made their day so special.
Tell us a little a bit about your wedding (your vision, color, style, and location choices).
I knew that I wanted something non-traditional. I didn’t want to do a cake cutting or bouquet toss. I wanted something super laid back and most importantly for everyone just to have a good time. I wanted everyone to be comfortable to be themselves and so did I. I didn’t want anyone to feel like they couldn’t let loose. We even had some family and friends bring their RV’s. Our ceremony was very quick with a good sense of humor. I had always loved the house that my maid of honor grew up in, her parents are like second parents to me. I especially have always loved the oak tree in their backyard, when Denise (homeowner) offered to have my wedding there, I knew it was perfect. I guess that you could say my wedding was rustic boho which is definitely my personal style that reflected into my wedding style. I LOVE greenery & succulents so I definitely wanted to incorporate as much of that as I possibly could.
I chose neutral colors for my bridesmaids because I wanted something timeless, I wanted to be able to look back at my wedding pictures 20 years from now and not regret my colors! I told my bridesmaids not to worry about matching so I showed them the color palette and they picked out their own dresses.
What was the most important to the two of you while planning? Was there anything that you chose to splurge on or skip?
We chose to skip a lot the the traditional wedding things, such as cake cutting, flower and garter toss, wedding party introductions, and we just introduced the bride and groom. The most important thing was to keep our vision alive. A lot of people kept telling us what we “should” be doing, and it was important for us to keep our vision alive, whether its what people liked or not. We honestly didn’t really splurge on much for the actual wedding, we more so splurged on the honeymoon since thats what we really cared about, since our honeymoon was truly all about us.
What (or who) helped you most in your planning process and/or on your wedding day?
The three people that helped me the most were: my mom, my maid of honor and my maid of honor’s mom (my second mom, Denise). I truly could not have done it without them. We had many meetings where we planned until I felt like I was loosing my mind. But they not only helped along the way, but up until the last minutes of setting everything out and making my vision happen. I think it was good to not have a ton of people helping plan, and these three people sometimes know me better than I know myself, so I could truly just them with every tiny detail!
Also – MOST importantly, my Uncle Tom, along with the help of others made the property dialed in for the wedding. They set the giant light pole and hung all the string lights, graded the property to make it smooth and made sure we had more than enough electrical for the day of. When I decided to have my wedding at an estate, these were things I didn’t even think about, these guys made everything happen! I give a HUGE thank you to all of them!
We had a huge team around me to help make this day happen, from the guys who made the actual property perfect for an event, and the girls who helped with the decor and my vision, we truly feel so lucky and blessed. It is a lot of work to have your wedding at a home estate and they made it all happen, it was a team effort!
What were your favorite parts of the day? (memories and stories)
Randi – my favorite part of the day was dancing! I spent soooo much time on the dance floor and it was so nice to finally let loose after all of the planning! I also really liked the moment right after our ceremony. Our wedding coordinator closed us in the bridal suite and gave us champagne and we just had a moment to ourselves to just soak everything in.
RJ – My favorite part was taking pictures with just me and Randi. It was nice to have time for just us. Mainly I just really liked that everyone had such a good time. The whole entire wedding was just a rad time, there were no bad parts.
Do you have any advice for couples planning their weddings now?
It sounds so cliche, but do you! Not what everyone else wants. So many people thought I was crazy for getting married at an estate that had never had a wedding and for eliminating some normal wedding traditions, but I didn’t care. It was what I wanted, and I am so happy I stuck true to that.
We always love hearing these words of wisdom from couples. Creating a stress-free day that completely embodies you as a couple, well, that sounds like a perfect day to us!

Regulatory Risk: Bitcoins are a rival to government currency and may be used for black market transactions, money laundering, illegal activities or tax evasion. As a result, governments may seek to regulate, restrict or ban the use and sale of bitcoins, and some already have. Others are coming up with various rules. For example, in 2015, the New York State Department of Financial Services finalized regulations that would require companies dealing with the buy, sell, transfer or storage of bitcoins to record the identity of customers, have a compliance officer and maintain capital reserves. The transactions worth $10,000 or more will have to be recorded and reported.
Bitcoin mining is the process through which bitcoins are released to come into circulation. Basically, it involves solving a computationally difficult puzzle to discover a new block, which is added to the blockchain, and receiving a reward in the form of few bitcoins. The block reward was 50 new bitcoins in 2009; it decreases every four years. As more and more bitcoins are created, the difficulty of the mining process – that is, the amount of computing power involved – increases. The mining difficulty began at 1.0 with Bitcoin's debut back in 2009; at the end of the year, it was only 1.18. As of April 2017, the mining difficulty is over 4.24 billion. Once, an ordinary desktop computer sufficed for the mining process; now, to combat the difficulty level, miners must use faster hardware like Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), more advanced processing units like Graphic Processing Units (GPUs), etc.
“It has long been thought that for something to be a useful currency, it needs to be a stable source of value, and bitcoin is anything but. It’s not used for a lot of transactions, it’s not a stable source of value, and it’s not an efficient means of processing payments. It’s very slow in handling payments. It has difficulty because of its very decentralized nature.”
The concept of a virtual currency is still novel and, compared to traditional investments, Bitcoin doesn't have much of a longterm track record or history of credibility to back it. With their increasing use, bitcoins are becoming less experimental every day, of course; still, after eight years, they (like all digital currencies) remain in a development phase, still evolving. "It is pretty much the highest-risk, highest-return investment that you can possibly make,” says Barry Silbert, CEO of Digital Currency Group, which builds and invests in Bitcoin and blockchain companies.

On 1 August 2017, a hard fork of bitcoin was created, known as Bitcoin Cash. Bitcoin Cash has a larger block size limit and had an identical blockchain at the time of fork. On 24 October 2017 another hard fork, Bitcoin Gold, was created. Bitcoin Gold changes the proof-of-work algorithm used in mining, as the developers felt that mining had become too specialized.
This is particularly problematic once you remember that all Bitcoin transactions are permanent and irreversible. It's like dealing with cash: Any transaction carried out with bitcoins can only be reversed if the person who has received them refunds them. There is no third party or a payment processor, as in the case of a debit or credit card – hence, no source of protection or appeal if there is a problem.

If the private key is lost, the bitcoin network will not recognize any other evidence of ownership; the coins are then unusable, and effectively lost. For example, in 2013 one user claimed to have lost 7,500 bitcoins, worth $7.5 million at the time, when he accidentally discarded a hard drive containing his private key. A backup of his key(s) would have prevented this.
In September 2015, the establishment of the peer-reviewed academic journal Ledger (ISSN 2379-5980) was announced. It covers studies of cryptocurrencies and related technologies, and is published by the University of Pittsburgh. The journal encourages authors to digitally sign a file hash of submitted papers, which will then be timestamped into the bitcoin blockchain. Authors are also asked to include a personal bitcoin address in the first page of their papers.
The number of businesses accepting bitcoin continued to increase. In January 2017, NHK reported the number of online stores accepting bitcoin in Japan had increased 4.6 times over the past year. BitPay CEO Stephen Pair declared the company's transaction rate grew 3× from January 2016 to February 2017, and explained usage of bitcoin is growing in B2B supply chain payments.
Bitcoin is one of the first digital currencies to use peer-to-peer technology to facilitate instant payments. The independent individuals and companies who own the governing computing power and participate in the Bitcoin network, also known as "miners," are motivated by rewards (the release of new bitcoin) and transaction fees paid in bitcoin. These miners can be thought of as the decentralized authority enforcing the credibility of the Bitcoin network. New bitcoin is being released to the miners at a fixed, but periodically declining rate, such that the total supply of bitcoins approaches 21 million. One bitcoin is divisible to eight decimal places (100 millionth of one bitcoin), and this smallest unit is referred to as a Satoshi. If necessary, and if the participating miners accept the change, Bitcoin could eventually be made divisible to even more decimal places.
“So if you look at a $100 billion market cap today, now last week it might have been more like 200, so it’s actually a buying opportunity, we think that there’s a potential appreciation of 30 to 40 times because you look at the gold market today, it’s a $7 trillion market. And so a lot of people are starting to se that, they recognize the store of value properties.”
In March 2013 the blockchain temporarily split into two independent chains with different rules. The two blockchains operated simultaneously for six hours, each with its own version of the transaction history. Normal operation was restored when the majority of the network downgraded to version 0.7 of the bitcoin software. The Mt. Gox exchange briefly halted bitcoin deposits and the price dropped by 23% to $37 before recovering to previous level of approximately $48 in the following hours. The US Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) established regulatory guidelines for "decentralized virtual currencies" such as bitcoin, classifying American bitcoin miners who sell their generated bitcoins as Money Service Businesses (MSBs), that are subject to registration or other legal obligations. In April, exchanges BitInstant and Mt. Gox experienced processing delays due to insufficient capacity resulting in the bitcoin price dropping from $266 to $76 before returning to $160 within six hours. The bitcoin price rose to $259 on 10 April, but then crashed by 83% to $45 over the next three days. On 15 May 2013, US authorities seized accounts associated with Mt. Gox after discovering it had not registered as a money transmitter with FinCEN in the US. On 23 June 2013, the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) listed 11.02 bitcoins as a seized asset in a United States Department of Justice seizure notice pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 881. This marked the first time a government agency had seized bitcoin. The FBI seized about 26,000 bitcoins in October 2013 from the dark web website Silk Road during the arrest of Ross William Ulbricht. Bitcoin's price rose to $755 on 19 November and crashed by 50% to $378 the same day. On 30 November 2013 the price reached $1,163 before starting a long-term crash, declining by 87% to $152 in January 2015. On 5 December 2013, the People's Bank of China prohibited Chinese financial institutions from using bitcoins. After the announcement, the value of bitcoins dropped, and Baidu no longer accepted bitcoins for certain services. Buying real-world goods with any virtual currency had been illegal in China since at least 2009.
Computing power is often bundled together or "pooled" to reduce variance in miner income. Individual mining rigs often have to wait for long periods to confirm a block of transactions and receive payment. In a pool, all participating miners get paid every time a participating server solves a block. This payment depends on the amount of work an individual miner contributed to help find that block.
Bitcoin may react differently to inflation/deflation: Bitcoin differs significantly from fiat currencies, due to the fact that there is a limited number of bitcoins to be mined. Paper money, on the other hand, can be created at will out of thin air by central banks. Due to its limited supply, Bitcoin may potentially hold its value better than paper money, which can technically have an unlimited supply.
However, the price struggled to move above the $6,300 resistance. More importantly, there was no test of the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $6,433 high to $6,202 low. At the moment, there is a major bearish flag forming with resistance at $6,310 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair. If the pair fails to stay above the flag support at $6,255, there could be a fresh decline towards the $6,202 low. If sellers remain in action, the price may even break the $6,202 low and trade towards the $6,150 level. On the flip side, a proper break above the flag resistance could push the price towards the $6,350 resistance and the 100 hourly SMA.
Bitcoin continued to decline during early 2018, before eventually stabilizing at around $7,000 per coin. It has remained in the $6,000 to $7,000 range since June, and the volatility that characterised the market in 2017 and early 2018 has all but evaporated. On its 10-year anniversary, bitcoin is trading at $6,305 per coin, according to Markets Insider.
An official investigation into bitcoin traders was reported in May 2018. The U.S. Justice Department launched an investigation into possible price manipulation, including the techniques of spoofing and wash trades. Traders in the U.S., the U.K, South Korea, and possibly other countries are being investigated. Brett Redfearn, head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Trading and Markets, had identified several manipulation techniques of concern in March 2018.
Another interesting way (literally) to earn bitcoins is by lending them out, and being repaid in the currency. Lending can take three forms – direct lending to someone you know; through a website which facilitates peer-to-peer transactions, pairing borrowers and lenders; or depositing bitcoins in a virtual bank that offers a certain interest rate for Bitcoin accounts. Some such sites are Bitbond, BitLendingClub and BTCjam. Obviously, you should do due diligence on any third-party site. | <urn:uuid:947112c5-0f63-449a-939d-34d58c36d596> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://mixcoinbank.com/best-bitcoin-mining-software-places-that-accept-bitcoin.html | 2018-11-17T00:28:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743247.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116235534-20181117021534-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.948348 | 2,428 | [

The recording has a great story as we recorded it back in 1996 at Sing Sing studios with Kalju Tonuma famous for recording Killing Joke, The Living End, Crowded House, Hunters & Collectors, D4, The Temper Trap, Bodyjar and The Mavis’s but it never saw the light of day. We really enjoyed working with Kal listening to his studio stories while working together ensuring we captured the right feel for each song. We’re really happy that the songs hold up and sound great live!
We’re itching to get out there and do what they do best – playing adrenaline-triggered hard and fast tunes with our mates!
How would you describe your sound in food form and why?
Like a great Tapas menu… Little bit of everything, not too much of anything.
Always satisfying paired with an Aussie red or full flavoured ale.
Which song resonates most strongly and why?
Every member of the band has a fave for one reason or another. The lead track from the EP “Toma esto es” ( “Here it is, you can start a revolution yourself…here’s your life make it the best it can be” in Spanish ).. Is a popular one with everyone at the moment as its fun to play live and sounds really big..
Any on the road anecdotes?
Some of the band decided to take a short cut home from Canberra one night as it looked shorter on the map but ended up getting us stuck on an icy snow hill top…no more short cuts!!
One morning Stefan went for a swim at a surf beach near Brisbane after a big night and was waving and thrashing around in the water to get HELP!! He was struggling to stay afloat. Adam thought he was having a great time and waved back to him and walked off.
Another time our hire bus broke down in the middle of nowhere country while traveling from Melbourne to Brisbane to start a tour. Due to timings we sent some of the guys off to hitch hike with truckies so they got to Brisbane on time. We wouldn’t do that today!
Where do you draw inspiration from?
Life, the world around us. Personal experience.
What’s next for you?
We’re releasing the EP, doing some shows in Melbourne and country Victoria which will be awesome. We’ve been writing a bunch of new tracks which we hope to record next year and do a full length album.
What’s your scene?
We’ve always stayed on the fringe of scenes like our music “– too punk for metal, too metal for punk and too rock for both”
“Suiciety’s new album… is eleven tracks of killer groove, and sub heaviness, that take you on a meandering journey through aggression, feeling, and then some more confusion as to what they may do next… I suggest you buy this album, see them live, and delve totally into this band. It is a moral imperative.”
Suiciety breathed life in 1990, after a bunch of school friends, with a love of skating, hardcore, punk and rock started jamming and writing some ditties in the back streets of the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. Finding a singer and a guitarist in the unlikeliest of places, they went on to record demos under the name Ward 13. This handle never stuck, so out of the gutter Suiciety was born. Some solid gigs around old Melbourne town resulted in interest from bookers, local radio and independent record labels.
Their first album ‘Deeper Vision’, was well received and made it to Number 10 on the Alternative Charts and The Age’s Top 10 Albums of the Year. Travelling around the country playing some major supports and getting numerous amazing live show reviews, their crossover style surprised many. The boys went on to record their second album ‘Primrose Path’, a more diverse offering showing their ability to swing between rock, metal, alternative and hardcore punk, with ease. Not an easy act to categorise – too punk for metal, too metal for punk and too rock for both. Suiciety pioneered ’90s rock in Melbourne and took their show on the road.
With a blistering, energetic live show, they played at the Big Day Out, Alternative Nation and served support to Sepultura, The Supersuckers, Kreator, Ministry, Bodycount, Fear Factory, The Tea Party, and played alongside other Australian legends like Tumbleweed, Cosmic Psychos, and the Mark of Cain, to only name a few. Capping off 1994 as an incredible year, the band headed back into the studio (after signing with BMG), to record their iconic EP ‘Cell’; a five track offering that rocks from beginning to end, egging you on to give it another spin. The juggernaut kept on rollin’ and a tour with The Screaming Jets proved highly successful and the interest from local press and mags such as Hot Metal, made the bands profile even bigger. Suiciety’s live shows, were always faultless and backed up the hype. In ’96 the guys crawled back into the studio, exhausted, yet excited to record their new tracks resulting in the enigmatic ‘Crawling Machine Edition’. Unfortunately this recording never saw the light of day and the band closed the curtain on the circus for what was thought to be the last time…
Fast forward near on twenty years and after a well-earned sabbatical, the boys are back writing, recording and excited about the future. The new songs, mature and BIG! Looking at 2015 as being an incredible year, with shows lined up including their first gig back since 1996 at the annual Brewtality Festival in Melbourne, and with a groundswell of interest bubbling away, a vibe is surrounding Suiciety again. If they can bring half of what they brought to the table in the ’90s, it will be amazing… You watch!

Sand, sun, sea and brightly coloured birds, the likes of which we have only seen in pet shops. What and absolute joy to see them flying free, their colouful plumage lifting my spirits skywards.
We are loving Australia.
Having tested out the motorhome we've been lent, we have set forth and slowly worked our way via inland roads towards Adelaide in South Australia.
Our family and friends didn't know where some of the places we visited in New Zealand were, so over the ditch I thought it would be helpful to have a map to show where we are. (For us as well).
Eventually I found Wikicamps to be the easiest to operate, with it's drag and drop. This is the link to our trip on WikiCamps
Highlights of our trip so far are our time in Ballarat, particularly at Sovereign Hill and the story of gold and the difference it made to Australia.
The volunteers dress in period costume and are assigned roles for the day such as shopper on the street, wood chopper, housewife etc. They volunteer as often as they wish. The lady I was chatting to originally came from Timaru, New Zealand - 20 odd years ago. She volunteers three Thursdays a month. It's such a great idea, and makes the village much more authentic.
Then there are staff who have specific skills, particularly the engineering type of jobs. They are paid for the work they do. For everyone's safety, you want to know that the bloke operating the boiler house knows exactly what he's about.
Bush or freedom camping has been great too. We are finding it quite different from New Zealand. Campfires seem to be the norm.
Our stay over the Easter period in Stawell was very enjoyable. We stayed at the Stawell Grampians Gate Campground with 700 other people. We were "out the back" in the bush area, which for us was just great, we were bush camping along with many others. Campfires going, tents flapping, mossies decending - ok, that bit wasn't so good, but toilet and showers were handy with plenty of hot water for showers.
On the Saturday morning we walked up to the Main Street, which was closed to traffic and there were stalls, bouncy castles and a car show as well, including Mad Max's car.
We took a trip to Halls Gap in the Grampians with the intention of exploring further, but every man and his dog had arrived in the Grampians to do the same thing over Easter. They even had carpark attendants on duty at the carparks. Instead we walked into the silverband waterfall and walked over Lake Bellfield dam.
This is Reeds lookout. There is no way either Geoff or I could have gone out on that ledge, so we are grateful to the young couple who did for their ultimate photo shot. It gave us ours as well.
Right from the get go, as we have planned our move to Australia, I have been rather anxious about the wildlife. Our first two sightings of kangaroos were as roadkill. Our next wildlife experience was the emu's at Halls Gap and MacKenzie Falls carpark.
We were driving along after leaving the Grampians and Geoff commented on the lush farmland we had just driven into. Next minute, where were kangaroos sunning themselves, about as many as the sheep in the paddocks.
In New sZealand, we are members of the NZMCA, the national Motorhome and Caravan Association. We have joined the Australian equivalent, the CMCA. Both organisations provide the opportunity for people to offer private property for members to stay on. In Horsham, we stayed at the property of a lovely man named Graham. It's nice to be able to park up safely overnight.
I will leave our tale in Horsham, and endeavour to keep you up to date as often as limited power, wifi and time will allow.

I try not to watch the news anymore because it just seems to be the same thing over and over—a murder, a rape, a fire, a flood, and occasionally a ferry ferrying 200 people over its limit tips over somewhere.
When ferries tip over, it irritates me. It seems to be the same story. A ferry limited to 100 people sinks when it’s forced to carry triple capacity, and it can no longer displace more water than it weighs. There’s always a big investigation. The captain gets blamed, the operators get blamed, but nobody blames the real guilty person—the ticket seller. If he can sell tickets, he can count money. If he can count money, he can count people. Let them on the boat and when you reach capacity say something like, “stop.”
The ferries here are very vigilant about weight and capacity limits. I’ll bet half the men on Shelter Island have the entry “ferry worker” somewhere on their résumé. You can always tell who they are in line. They are in the cars that stop way back in the line when they see a cement mixer up ahead. They know exactly how many cars will fit. Most drivers don’t want to get on the ferry with those mixers or big trucks. I hate it. It’s very scary.
“There’s room for your car, Ms. Flynn. Don’t let the Mack truck scare you.”
“That’s okay, take the person behind me. I’ll wait for the next boat. That way I’ll be first on board and I can park up front and steer the boat.”
“Being the first car aboard has nothing to do with steering the boat, Ms. Flynn.”
“I know, but I like to pretend.”
(20 minutes later)
“Hey, Ms. Flynn, how come you let all those cars ahead of you? Now you’re stuck behind a truck again.”
“Yes, but it’s the Entenmann’s truck.”
“What’s the difference between being behind a Mack truck and a pastry truck?”
“It’s just a safety precaution. If the water gets too choppy, I’ll open the back of the truck and grab crumb cakes for flotation devices, and I can leave a trail of cookies in the water for the Coast Guard to find us.”
“You’d never get into that truck in time. It has a lock on the latch. What are you going to do, pick the lock?”
“Don’t be so silly, I have bolt cutters under the passenger’s seat for just such emergencies.”
Everyone on the Island has a ferry story. My mother was coming home from her night shift at Eastern Long Island Hospital once and was the only car on the boat. The ferry men were fishing over the sides and yanked up a big bass. They gave it to Mom and we had bass for brunch the following day.
My worst story happened when a jar of honey opened in my handbag. I struggled to get the money out of a wallet that was dripping honey all over me, my steering wheel and everywhere that honey could possibly drip. It was a mess I’ll never forget.
Once on the North Ferry, my brother Joe Beaudry, who cooked at the Ram’s Head Inn at the time, saw a big black bird land on the railing. The ferrymen fed him some bread crumbs and told Joe that this bird rode the ferry back and forth between ports all the time rather than fly. The guys then gave the bird a ferry token which he held in his beak for the whole trip. As they pulled into Greenport, Joe watched in amazement as the ferrymen came and got the token and the black bird flew away.

It's hard not to be heartbroken after reading recent headlines about families being separated at the United States and Mexico border. After reports about Trump's zero-tolerance immigration policy became widespread knowledge, people from all ages and backgrounds came together to act on it — including the younger generation. Because of this, people will be delighted to know that a 6-year-old helped raise $13,000 for separated families, which proves that there is hope for our future.
There are so many people who are doing what they can to help these separated families. For example, celebrities like Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, who announced that they were donating over $200,000 to the ACLU to help reunite families, according to USA Today, or George and Amal Clooney who donated $100,000 to the Young Center For Immigrant Children's Rights, according to People. But every day people have done just as much — one family in California raised over millions of dollars on Facebook to RAICES, according to CNN. And one 6-year-old boy in Atlanta, Georgia, aimed to do the same in his own virtual and physical lemonade stand, according to TODAY.
6-year-old Austin Gaggero suggested hosting a lemonade stand in his neighborhood to help raise money for immigrant children and separated families, according to TODAY, but he didn't know how many people it would reach. With the help of a virtual lemonade stand fundraiser on Facebook and the actual lemonade stand in his hometown, the boy was able to raise more than $13,000 to RAICES, a Texas non-profit that "offers free and low-cost legal services to immigrants and refugees", according to CNN.
This is incredible and proves what a young mind can do when they set out to accomplish something so big. But like most kids with big hearts and even bigger imaginations, they have their mother to thank — and Austin is no exception to this.
Austin's mom, Shannon Cofrin Gaggero, told TODAY that the idea was planted after she told her kids what was going on at the border. Cofrin Gaggero said, according TODAY:
I've been taught that when you talk about oppression, it is just as important to talk about resistance, so I asked my kids, "What can we do to help?" and my 6-year-old son, Austin, suggested a lemonade stand.
In addition to selling lemonade, Austin, along with Cofrin Gaggero's 3-year-old daughter, Reese, and their family and friends sold brownies and decorated posters so the stand's patrons knew why they started the stand in the first place, according to TODAY.
Lemonade stands are a tried and true way for kids to learn what it's like to start a business of their own (even if it's on a smaller scale) and experience what it feels like to make a hard earned dollar of their own. But, instead of keeping the profits and spending the money on something like a video game or toy, Cofrin Gaggero's son and 3-year-old daughter put the money towards a worthy cause, according to CBS News. Cofrin Gaggero was proud of all that her son was able to accomplish with his idea, writing on her blog, Striving Parent:
As I have shared again and again, action breeds hope. I'm so proud of my kids and our community for being a part of a beautiful action this week and weekend. I'm proud of the parents who shared with me the conversations they had with their kids about why we were gathering.
Until every child is reunited with their parents there is still so much more that needs to be done and so much more money that needs to be donated in the fight to getting these families back together.
This weekend, people all across the the United States will participate in Families Belong Together rallies, aiming at telling politicians to do something about the separated families. If parents and their kids can't make it out to the rally but want to take an action towards getting families back together, a lemonade stand is a great place to start. This 6-year-old boy proved that it is possible to do some good in the world with the resources you have. | <urn:uuid:a62b27b8-f803-4236-87ae-aa0ab3fa49f5> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.romper.com/p/a-6-year-old-helped-raise-13000-for-separated-families-proving-the-future-is-still-bright-9639147 | 2018-11-13T03:14:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741192.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113020909-20181113042909-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.977409 | 876 | [

Our CBD Capsules come in the form of vegan gel caps and are gluten-free and completely kosher.
The capsules are made from 100% plant ingredients, contain no animal by-products, preservatives, artificial colors, starch, sugar, corn, wheat or dairy.
To create these capsules we use the unfiltered first extract (hemp oil) containing CBD which is very thick and waxy. We use CO2 from air you breath to extract all the beneficial molecules producing
a unique whole plant extract by gently heating the plants after extraction. When heated the CBDa turns in to CBD.
The unfiltered hemp oil could be likened to eating the hemp plant gently heated, preserving the active molecules contained in the original plant.
These are the basic pillars of good health and without them our well being can be compromised. Active compounds in the hemp plant such as cannabinoids, terpenes, plant waxes and micronutrients work in synergy with our own biochemistry to bring about a sense of holism.
If you value the pure plant power of unfiltered hemp, but prefer to take it in an easy to swallow form, then our CBD capsules are for you. That way you get to benefit from hemp’s complex structure and unique combination of over 400 molecules without the hempy after taste. Endoca’s proprietary formula contains crucial cannabinoids, vitamins, minerals and plant waxes that are often missing from our diets. You’ll get this and more in one simple capsule.
We produce under pharmaceutical control from seed to finished product.
We are constantly striving to ensure that our customers get exactly what they see on the label.
To do this we employ rigorous laboratory testing to guarantee consistent potency and purity in every product.
We employ a team of experienced scientists, herbalists and nutritionists to produce our organic extracts to the highest standards of good manufacturing practices.
Each CBD capsule contains 10mg of CBD (Cannabidiol), from organic certified hemp cultivars free from pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. The oil also includes the plant waxes, as well as co-factors and co-nutrients.
CBD, a compound found naturally in the hemp plant, stimulates our endocannabinoid system - our body’s natural balancing mechanism regulating biological functions such as sleep, appetite, mood, pain and our immune system. Sometimes thanks to the stressors of modern life, this internal balance can become compromised.
At Endoca we’ve discovered an effective natural solution in hemp, which produces phytocannabinoids that are similar to our own. Adding hemp oil to your wellness routine can help to keep those cannabinoid levels in check.
Each capsule contains 10 mg of CBD
No preservatives, artificial colors
Kosher, Vegan, Gluten free, non-GMO
Phytocannabinoids: 10mg CBD

JOHNSON, IAN WILLIAM, CBE, who died on October 9, 1998, aged 80, captained Australia in 17 of his 45 Tests. Unfortunately for him, he took over in the mid-1950s, when Australian cricket was decidedly inferior to England's for the first time since before the Bradman era, and he became the first 20th-century captain to lead Australia to defeats in successive Ashes series. His problems were worsened because he had been controversially preferred to Keith Miller, and many Australians regarded him almost as a usurper. Inter-state rivalry had played a part in Johnson's selection, but it was also a rather English sort of decision: Johnson, who had something of an amateur's bearing, appealed more to many members of the Australian establishment than the more wayward Miller. But he was a fine cricketer and, in some respects, a visionary.
Johnson made his debut for Victoria as an 18-year-old and emerged, after wartime service, as a mainstay of Australia's attack. He was an off-spinner in a country traditionally keener on wrist-spin and, according to E. W. Swanton, probably the slowest bowler to achieve any measure of success in Test cricket. His action was compared to a corkscrew (and occasionally had its legality queried), but in the right circumstance his flight and dip could not merely tantalise batsmen, but madden them. Against England at Sydney 1946-47, he floated the ball into the breeze to take six for 42 in 30.1 eight-ball overs. Though he did little in the Tests in England in 1948, Johnson reasserted himself in South Africa in 1949-50, taking five for 34 to help win the Durban Test. But his form declined after that, and he failed to make the 1953 tour of England. Later that year, he succeeded Lindsay Hassett as captain of Victoria, but there seemed little chance of him playing for Australia again. That changed after a pep-talk from Hassett himself at a New Year's Eve party, when he hinted that Johnson could be captain of Australia if only he put his mind to it. By the end of the year, the prophecy had come true. Johnson can hardly be remembered as a great Test captain: of his nine Ashes Tests in charge, in 1954-55 and 1956, Australia lost four and won just two. But his finest hour came in between those series when he led their first Test tour of the Caribbean, only 12 months after a notably bad-tempered visit by England. They won not merely the series but the people's hearts, with a charm offensive that led to much favourable comparison with the stand-offish English: Ian did the best PR job of any captain I've ever seen, said Alan Davidson. But Johnson's own form was patchy, and this worsened the dressing-room tensions: some malcontents called him myxomatosis because he only bowled when the rabbits were in, and he was seen by others as dictatorial. The 1956 tour was unwinnable, and impossible to survive. After an epilogue in the subcontinent on the way home had mixed results, he retired.
The following year Johnson began the second half of his career. He was chosen ahead of 44 other candidates to be secretary of the Melbourne Cricket Club. This really did cement his place in the Australian establishment, but he was a progressive administrator: the MCG remained the beating heart of Australian sport, and Johnson was there, mostly smiling, through 26 years of dramatic change. For 56 years he was married to Lal, daughter of Roy Park, who played one Test for Australia. He had a knack for getting things right: on his South African tour in 1949-50 he wrote a series of pieces for the local paper, the Sunday Express. One touched on the racial question. "You're living in something of a fool's paradise," he warned.
