The Medical College Admission Test, colloquially known as the MCAT, is a graduate-level entrance exam required for admission to medical school. Students typically take the MCAT at least one year before submitting their med school applications, giving them plenty of time to retake the exam if they’re not satisfied with their initial scores. That being said, the test is expensive and time consuming—if you can get away with taking it only once, you’ll probably be happier overall.
You’re not going to do as well as you could on the MCAT if you don’t study, so plan to spend a significant amount of time brushing up on the subjects you’ll be tested on. Whether you choose to study on your own using online resources or a study guide from the bookstore, enroll in a preparation class, hire a private tutor, or use a combination of study methods, plan to put in 200–300 hours of studying. Register for an exam sitting far enough in advance that you’ll have time to learn the material. | <urn:uuid:1272b4cb-138d-470b-8190-35e839abc450> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://blog.studentcaffe.com/everything-need-know-mcat/ | 2019-11-18T07:09:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669454.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118053441-20191118081441-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.951128 | 217 | [

Immigration and divorce: stories of collapsed international marriages through the eyes of a lawyer
Kidnapping? Child abduction? Or the implementation of their parent legal rights? With this column, I begin a series of stories about legitimate and illegal cases of children moving abroad. About how each parent can protect their rights. What every woman should know when giving birth to a child in another country.
History of 1. Once upon a time, a large family moved to the USA with refugee status. These were elderly parents, their adult daughter and her husband. In the United States, young spouses gave birth to two children. Despite the fact that it was not an international family and they did not have most of the contradictions that arise in international marriages, life together has cracked. The wife asked her husband’s consent for a temporary trip to Russia, and he, not suspecting something was amiss, gave his consent. Soon after, he received a subpoena in a Russian court, where his wife called in the case of divorce and determination of the place of residence of children. Despite all his efforts, the Russian court sided with his wife and satisfied all her demands. But the American court, where the husband turned in parallel, did not agree with the conclusions of the Russian court. Rather, he recognized the decision of the Russian court only in terms of divorce, and in part of the children made his decision: to return the children, to determine the place of residence of the children with their father, to recover child support from the mother.
My mother, of course, did not obey the American court decision, and did not return to America, and then the father of the children turned to me in order to establish the procedure for communication with his children in Russia. And in parallel, in the USA, he initiated a case against the parents of his ex-wife (US citizens living in the USA). The fact is that from the point of view of American laws, this woman is a criminal, and the people who help her, including financially, are accomplices in the crime. I’m not sure that it’s possible to punish such people within the framework of the criminal law system, but they can definitely be financially punished. They lost all their movable and immovable property, and also paid a huge fine. At this time, the father regularly met with children in Russia (for a father who is not deprived of parental rights cannot be denied this), arriving six times a year. And now the eldest daughter, who reached 18 years, came to him in America, and two years later the youngest son will almost certainly do the same, leaving her elderly mother alone in Russia.
On the subject: How a divorce can affect immigration status
Why people do not calculate risks is a rhetorical question. I think that the mother did not expect such a finale, having thrown all her strength into the struggle and abandoned everything: from the opportunity to ever visit the United States and any other country friendly to the United States.
History of 2. Another couple with a child decided to break up. It happens often. The mother received full custody of the common child (custodian), the father received the right to meet. At some point, the mother lost her vigilance: the father took the child more often than prescribed by the court decision, offered his ex-wife comprehensive assistance with the child, the child often spent the night with him, allowing the mother to build her personal life. Everything was perfect ... until the mother received the papers filed by the ex-husband in court ... In his lawsuit, the father demanded that the child be brought up for him, accompanying his lawsuit with tables about the time spent with him, photographs of homework done with the child, receipts about paying for extracurricular activities and training and other evidence that he is a good father and what a worthless mother she is. Of course, the manifestation of the best qualities of the father does not at all guarantee the transfer of his child to education. But her mother was frightened and could not think of anything better than to escape to London. She began to live there a calm, measured life, until a constable knocked on her door. In his hands was the decision of the American court, providing full custody of the father (and how else, if the mother fled, abandoning the fight), and the order to return the child to the United States. Mother was on the run again. She was sheltered by the Russian embassy in London, which subsequently assisted in moving to Russia. 15 years have passed since then. She still lives in Russia without the possibility of ever returning to the United States, because there she is waiting for an arrest warrant.
History of 3. The young woman decided to connect her life with an American. Their baby was born before they decided to get married. And there life gave a crack. She returned to her native Saratov. The child's father immediately appealed to the family court, which immediately issued an arrest warrant for the woman. After more than six months of negotiations, the mother agreed to return to the United States in exchange for ending the persecution. An agreement was signed, approved by an American court, and the mother and child flew to America. A rare story of a kidnapping that ended happily.
History of 4. Girl Anna lived with her husband and child in London. Both of them were Russians: the husband was on a work visa, his wife and child accompanied him on a trip in which his wife, of course, had no right to work. One fine day, the husband found his true love and filed for divorce. Contrary to his expectations, the ex-wife with the child did not return to Russia, but also found her love, which ended up in the United States. He immediately appealed to an American court with a request to return the child. Question - where? The family lived in London for a long time, but it could not be called permanent: the heroes did not have British citizenship or a residence permit, and his wife did not even have a work permit. And to return the child to Russia, where neither husband nor wife had lived for a long time, would also be strange. I was an expert in this matter, and I was able to convince the court that neither Russia nor the United Kingdom are countries of the family’s permanent residence, and the mother’s departure to America was lawful. As a result, Anna was allowed permanent residence in the United States.
History of 5. A similar story happened in a high-profile case about the export of a child from Finland. This is a well-known case; it went through all instances in Russia and was the subject of consideration by the European Court of Human Rights.
The plot of the case is as follows: a Russian resident of Finland permanently married a Russian woman from St. Petersburg, their daughter was born to them. Finland (unlike the USA) does not distribute its citizenship to children born on its territory, therefore the girl had the only citizenship - Russian - because both her father and mother were Russian citizens. When the mother became ill, Finnish social services gave preference to the father, and the Finnish court ruled in his favor. But before the decision came into force, the mother managed to escape with her child to Russia.
Russia and Finland are parties to the 1980 Hague Convention of the year, and the father appealed to a Russian court with a request to return the child to him. The Dzerzhinsky District Court upheld it and ordered the mother to return the child to his father within 24 hours from the date the decision entered into legal force. Fortunately, this decision was not destined to enter into legal force, for the mother of the child turned to me to protect her and the rights of the child on appeal. In the court of appeal I managed to prove that the child’s residence in Finland, although from the moment of birth, cannot be regarded as permanent, due to the child’s lack of a permanent immigration status. For a child, like a mother, a residence permit in Finland was temporary and expired at the time of consideration of the case; they did not have any citizenship other than Russian, and the decision of the Finnish court, referred to by the plaintiff, did not enter into legal force at all on the day the mother and child left Finland. The St. Petersburg City Court recognized the mother’s actions as lawful and quashed the decision of the court of first instance, and the mother and child still live in St. Petersburg.
History of 6. An equally interesting story happened in the family of the Englishman David and the Russian beauty Anastasia. Anastasia and her daughter fled to St. Petersburg from a despot husband. Initially, my husband asked me to hand over documents from a British court to his wife and represent his interests in Russia. Unfortunately, the cost of my services stopped him, and he turned to another lawyer. Her initial task was to hand over the documents to the wife of her client. Knowing her place of work, all that was needed was to watch her on her way to or from work and hand over the papers (even if the lady refused to receive the documents, they would be considered handed).
But, apparently, the proverb about a mean who pays twice is not a coincidence. Her husband’s lawyer did not bother herself with the expectations of his wife in rainy and windy St. Petersburg: she just called her and offered to meet. The reaction of the frightened woman was obvious - she immediately quit her job and disappeared, and the documents were never handed to her. Rather, the lawyer sent her documents by e-mail, but this method of delivery was not provided for by the 1965 Hague Convention of the year, which describes in detail the procedure for the international delivery of court documents.
However, this did not prevent the British court from making a decision on the return of the child to the UK, and the aforementioned lawyer from applying to a Russian court with a request to enforce a foreign court decision in accordance with the norms of an international treaty.
At this stage, the mother of the child turned to me. After making sure that there was no conflict of interest (I never imagined her husband and never advised him, I just announced the price), I took her case. From the first hearings, it became clear that the decision of the British court could not be valid in Russia, since the defendant - my client - was never informed of the hearing in the UK - as mentioned earlier, my opponent was too lazy to wait for her on the street and hand over the paper to hands, limiting themselves to sending an electronic message, which is void. We won. The decision of the British court not only became unenforceable in Russia - we managed to get it canceled in the UK, where the procedure for notifying the defendant was grossly violated. A mother and child legally live in Russia and without any risk - travel the world.
In the next story - 7 stories - The American father also outwitted himself, although he had every chance of winning the case. His wife and child drove off to Russia, and, as is usually the case in such cases, he appealed to an American court demanding the return of the illegally exported child. As in the previous story, the papers should have been handed over to the wife personally, but the person in Russia who was entrusted with the delivery did not find the defendant, but simply waved the affidavit of service on the successful delivery of the papers, and the deal went. When the mother of the child turned to me for help, I advised her to find out if the case in America was open against her, and then we found out that the process in the USA was in full swing. She managed to prove the fictitious affidavit submitted to the court, and the case fell apart.
On the subject: What you need to know about divorce in the United States
History of 8. A similar situation occurred in the whole well-known case of Bogdan Mobly, also known as Bogdan Osipov. Despite the fact that the initial documents submitted by her husband to the court were handed to Bogdan while she was still in America, the final court decision was issued without her participation, and the decision of the American court ordering the return of the children was never served to her.
В 9 stories the mother left the American husband with a one-year-old child and, in secret from him, filed for divorce in Russia. She received a divorce, a decision on alimony, the court left the child to her upbringing. This heroine was lucky: her good husband never initiated legal proceedings in America, did not demand custody of the child and the arrest of his ex-wife. He wanted in a good way. We appealed the decision of the Russian court regarding child support and reduced their size from ¼ of his income by a fixed amount of $ 200 per month. And then the painful struggle for the right to see a child began. And when we won in this fight, the respondent, who by that time had changed her procedural status to a “debtor” in the framework of enforcement proceedings, began to put sticks in the wheels in every possible way and prevent the execution of the court’s decision, setting the child against his father and convincing him that this the uncle is not his father at all. The situation continued until the bailiff issued a decree restricting her exit from the territory of the Russian Federation.
History of 10 amazing. In this story, father is a US citizen living in Russia. After the divorce from his wife, his communication with the child was quite normal, but exactly until his mother met a new man of her dreams. At this moment, she decided to make a replacement - to exclude her father from the life of the girl and add her stepfather. Two years of courts led to the obvious result - the father can communicate with his daughter, and the mother has no right to prevent him from doing this. True, as a result of this war, the child was left without an American passport (for which the mother did not give her consent) and without trips around the world to which the child was accustomed, traveling with his father to Europe, America, and Australia from birth until the moment he appeared super hero in mother’s life.
Having a unique specialization - international protection of children in case of parents' divorce and unique practice: in Russia as a lawyer and in the USA as an expert from Russia, I have hundreds of such stories in my piggy bank and can help if you have a difficult custodial situation over the child, his visits, traveling with him, etc.

Rheumatology and Autoimmunity
The Rheumatology and Autoimmunity group is focused on determining how self-reactive immune cells develop, persist and cause severe pathology in patients with rheumatic autoimmune disease. The purpose of this research is to uncover more specific therapeutic targets that can be used to eliminate self-reactive, pathogenic immune cells while preserving the rest of the immune system.
Autoimmune disease occurs when immune cells 'go rogue' and attack healthy parts of the body, instead of attacking infectious microbes. There are over 100 different autoimmune diseases, which affect 5-10% of the population and are a major cause of chronic disease in our society. Without a cure, individuals afflicted by these diseases face ongoing clinical care based on suppressing the whole immune system. Current clinical practise treats the symptoms of disease rather than the cause because we don’t have a way to identify and eradicate the individual cells of the immune system that have gone rogue.
Our group has developed innovative cellular genomics technology incorporating single cell sequencing and multi-parameter flow cytometry to identify and isolate self-reactive rogue B cells from patients with the autoimmune diseases Sjögren’s syndrome and lupus. This research has allowed us to track the evolution of these disease causing B cells and highlighted possible targets for therapy.
We are currently recruiting enthusiastic students who are interested in using cutting-edge genomic technology to learn about fundamental mechanisms of the immune system and impact treatment strategies and outcomes in patients with autoimmune diseases.

New Car Reviews
The current Volvo V60 and S60 – have only one more year, but not in the way of major changes for the high-performance Polestar models. Gone is his comical loud Turbo in-line six-cylinder, and in its place is a 362-horsepower turbo – and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder.
The six-cylinder Polestar was a car for Volvo fans, but not necessarily one to go out what in the viewing of the competition. It’s handling finesse and drivetrain lacked refinement, but more than made up for with oddball charm.
Unfortunately, the S60 and V60 Polestar some of the charm that the transition to four-cylinder power, but to win what is, allegedly, a much better drive have lost.
“The Motor is a remarkable piece of machinery with a specific output of 181 HP per liter. Which almost makes it the most powerful four-cylinder engine on the market, second only to Mercedes-AMG 2.0-liter 375-hp unit.
This 2.0-litre starts his life as a 316-horsepower four-cylinder in the new XC90, among other cars, but gets some hardware improvements. Of course, there are a larger turbo, which work in tandem with a newly designed air intake, new connecting rods, a new camshaft, and a beefed-up fuel pump. Although it will help a compressor and a turbo, the new engine is slightly lighter than the old six, you take weight from the front axle.
Of course, one would expect that a 2.0-liter-making this kind of power to pointed and undrivable, but the opposite is true. This is thanks to the compressor, which gives virtually instant throttle response below 3000 rpm, which is when the turbocharger kicks in. On mountain roads North of Phoenix and the Arizona Motorsports Park, it was easy to enjoy the car, 347 lb-ft of torque. It pulls hard from low revs in third, and even fourth gear, so that it is an extremely lenksam street-car Motor.
The Motor is connected to the same Aisin eight-speed auto, the other new Volvos, but with a Polestar-specific tuning. It is not a big improvement over the six-speed in the previous S60 and V60 Polestar, with much faster shifting, although down the rev switch is still to be agreed. This gear is not at the level of the ZF eight-speed used in Jaguars, BMWs and others, but it is a step in the right direction nonetheless.
As impressive as the engine is, I couldn’t help but think it was just a little bland compared with the old six. It sounds kind of like a GTI, but with a few extra pops on full throttle upshifts. It is connected to a dual-mode performance exhaust, but even in Sport mode, this engine is just too polite. Polestar should look to the Mercedes-AMG and Fiat-Abarth (or the old S60 and V60 Polestar) for the inspiration.
Advertising – Read More Below
What is not a fad, the Polestar is a semi-secret Sport+ mode. You activate it by holding the shift lever in the ” + ” position, and tap the downshift paddle twice in rapid succession. This mode keeps the revs above 4000 U/min increases the speed of switching and open it keeps the exhaust valves. It only works in automatic mode, and although it is a little too ridiculous for the street, it is perfect for a few people, the dare, her pole stars take to the track.
The drive, changes make up the bulk of what’s new for the 2017 S60 and V60 Polestar, but there is one more change worth mentioning is electric power steering. Yep, the Polestar has shunned hydraulic steering, but don’t get your pitchforks yet. The old Polestar had a nice steering wheel, but it was really nothing to write home about, so that there is no significant loss here. The EPAS system is nicely weighted and precise, but the feeling is missing. On the track, you hear the tires more than you feel anything with the tips of your fingers.
In the corners, which are composed of S60 and V60 Polestar, but not nearly as playful as you want a sedan with a road-oriented Sport. There is a lot of grip from the Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and four-wheel-drive system, but it all feels a little safe. Only 50 percent of the torque to the rear wheels, and only in the most aggressive drive modes. This all-wheel-drive systems from Audi, BMW and Jaguar, all of which can send most (if not all) of torque to the rear wheels.contrasted with competing
The Polestar is capable of–it just does not “incite”, the drive in it is hard.
Unchanged from the previous S60 and V60 Polestar, the manually-adjustable öhlins dampers. These are the type of dampers you would install on your car, if you are a serious track day junkie, and while they are certainly not impressive hardware, I’m convinced they belong on the car. For the on-road part of our journey, they were on medium stiffness set in, but she felt much to hard for the street. Even on smooth roads, the Polestar bounced and rattled far more than necessary.
On the track by Polestar technicians they stiffened more, and to feel, somehow, from a relatively smooth road a bumpy one. Body control with these shocks is impressive, but you are not really jive with the Polestar – street-car intent. This is not a track-day special, so why should he have to drive like a?
The journey is not helped much by 20-inch wheels wrapped in ultra-low-profile tires. Someone should not say, Polestar engineers that you need super stiff suspension and big wheels make a nice handling car. Under the Polestar competition, Jaguar and Cadillac seemed to have found out that is best.
The Polestar provides a high level of performance in practice, but with a suspension setup that really only works on the track. The car is not quite sure what it wants to be. The engine and transmission are improvements on the last Polestar, but the chassis shows its age. Nevertheless, there is reason to be happy about Polestar in the future.
Soon, he ‘ ll versions of Volvo, the new 90 series. The mighty little four, will also be connected by electrical motors, even more performance and provide an interesting alternative to the German mainstream.
Going forward, Polestar, should take a close look at what the older six-cylinder S60 and V60 Polestar so charming, and some of the stiffness out of the suspension It would be a really interesting daily driving sports car on his hands. | <urn:uuid:f28e13e7-c70b-45fe-9100-0cde413799ab> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://cars-life.net/volvo-v60-2017/ | 2019-11-19T20:45:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670255.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119195450-20191119223450-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.951803 | 1,487 | [

Here are some of my favourite songs of 2014.
#20 – Joel Compass ‘Forgive Me’
British R&B/soul singer, Joel Compass, really ought to have been huge this year. I’m frankly surprised that ‘Forgive Me’ didn’t shake the charts harder. I adore the brooding nature of the song and the way they’ve amped up the drama with drums. I’m expecting more from this lad in the new year.
#19 – Neon Jungle ‘Bad Man’
Neon Jungle’s possibly one of the coolest girl groups around right now. I love their style and their potent blend of club beats with pop melodies (as exemplified with ‘Welcome to The Jungle’ and ‘Braveheart’, which I touched on in my album review). Sonically, there’s so much you can do with these girls and ‘Bad Man’ is a pretty good indication of just how far you can push it. This muscly urban track, fronted by horns and trap beats, sounds like the 2014 single Rihanna never had. An absolute favourite to strut down the street to.
#18 – TIEKS featuring Celeste ‘Sing That Song’
This song kind of came out of nowhere. I remember hearing it in a commercial on TV and Shazamming it straight away because that first verse was so strong. There was such an immediacy with the melody and best of all, it wasted no time in taking you straight to the euphoric chorus. The sound is of course very much of the moment. 90s-inspired house has been bang on-trend for pretty much a year now but when the songs and vocals are this good, it’s no wonder why it’s not fading anytime soon.
#17 – FKA Twigs ‘Two Weeks’
This wave of alt-R&B, as some might call it, is so very 2014 for me. This is one of the key sounds of the year (more of this on Spotify’s expertly curated Alternative R&B playlist). I’ve tried not to dismiss it as being minimalistic just because the song is built with elemental sounds and atmospheric synths. On one hand, it feels minimalistic but really, ‘Two Weeks’ and many songs of this calibre be it by Jhene Aiko or Tinashé are just as elaborately produced as any glossy pop single.
‘Two Weeks’, for me, is definitely more of a feel and more of a mood-setter than anything particularly poetic or soul-gratifying. There are loads of different ways to appreciate music and, for me, this particular FKA Twigs song is stunning and sensual on so many levels, you want to just silence yourself and marvel at the production and the toe-curling feeling you get when her voice surrounds you.
#16 – Dominique Young Unique ‘Throw It Down’
I love the carnal and rather tribal feel of this track. It’s like an earthquake of rave synths, bass-heavy electronic beats and gritty rap verses. To me, this song will always remind me of dancing manically in a dark, sweaty room in East Bloc.
#15 – Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars ‘Uptown Funk’
The funny thing about the arrival of this Prince-inspired Ronson track is that 2014 was the year I started dipping my toes into Prince, Chic, Nile Rodgers and disco/funk music of that sort. It just felt right for me. I even made a Disco Down playlist that amalgamates tunes from the yesteryears and present century, which I’ve played to death in the office. ‘Uptown Funk’ is an absolute delight, impossible to ignore. Let’s hope it sparks a Saturday Night Fever in anyone who missed the old school disco and funk era, and lead them to dig deeper like I did.
#14 – Shakira feat. Rihanna ‘Can’t Remember to Forget You’
With the greatest respect, I don’t think this was Shakira’s year. The Shakira. album seemed a bit too unfocussed and tepid for my liking, however, its lead single ‘Can’t Remember to Forget You’ is a killer. I love the song’s fusion of rock, pop and reggae, and its straightforward sentiments about being a victim to desire.
#13 – Ella Henderson ‘Ghost’
No one could bloody get away from this song this year, including Ella herself, who may never produce another epic single like this ever again. Looks like Ryan Tedder has done it again. It’s a brilliant, big pop number with an anthemic chorus and a key change to drive it all home. Utter perfection.
#12 – Katy B ‘Crying For No Reason’
Such a stunning piece of pop balladry – simple, heartfelt and really, quite unexpected. Before moving to the UK, I never quite got the concept of Katy B but she kind of turned it around for me with this song. ‘Crying For No Reason’ is an essential for any Crying at the Disco playlist (which, of course, everyone has).
#11 – Darren Hayes ‘The Sweetest Lullaby (Demo)’
Did you know Darren Hayes released ‘new’ music this year? I’m gonna say the general response is ‘No… now I thought I told you not to call me during Deal or No Deal‘. Hayes put up two previously unreleased tracks from his 2011 Secret Codes and Battleships era this year – one was ‘Wrecking Ball’ and the other was this beautiful demo called ‘The Sweetest Lullaby’. This is a classic Hayes ballad, designed to soundtrack a rainy lonesome moment in a rom com. | <urn:uuid:2ce48556-d990-4b14-94f1-e212e20e1b41> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://feedlimmy.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/feed-limmy-top-20-songs-of-2014-20/ | 2019-11-19T20:39:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670255.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20191119195450-20191119223450-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.94623 | 1,269 | [

(BIVN) – Hawaiʻi Island’s U.S. representative in Congress and 2020 presidential hopeful Tulsi Gabbard fired back at Hillary Clinton today on Twitter, after the former Secretary of State commented on Russian interest in the upcoming election.
Clinton never said Tulsi Gabbard’s name, but everyone who heard the former first lady – who was speaking on the David Plouffe podcast – understood Clinton to be talking about Gabbard when she said that “she’s the favorite of the Russians.”
“I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” Clinton said.
Gabbard certainly thought Clinton was talking about her. The Hawaiʻi congresswoman took to Twitter to blast Clinton for her suggestion.
“Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton,” wrote Gabbard. “You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose.”
“It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me,” Gabbard said. “Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.”
The back and forth made national news headlines, and Gabbard’s campaign used the moment to drum up support for the Tulsi 2020 presidential bid. “Hillary Clinton and her establishment cronies have their knives out for Tulsi, using her as an example in their campaign to intimidate and silence those who dare to stand up for peace,” a Gabbard campaign email stated.
The tenor of Gabbard’s social media response to Clinton’s statement raised eyebrows. State Senator Kai Kahele, who is running for Gabbard’s 2nd Congressional district seat, tweeted: “Did Donald Trump steal Tulsiʻs phone?” | <urn:uuid:7d461861-147b-4fe0-b4e0-d1b0721f869f> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2019/10/19/gabbard-lashes-out-at-hillary-clinton-after-russian-grooming-comment/ | 2019-11-21T08:34:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670743.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121074016-20191121102016-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.962701 | 499 | [

Is your Ohio divorce case taking forever? Do you go to court only to have continuance after continuance? Here’s what you need to know.
First, the old days are gone. Divorces aren’t supposed to last for several years in Ohio. The Supreme Court of Ohio has made rules regarding how long divorce cases are supposed to last. Generally, a divorce case with children is supposed to last no longer than 18 months before you have a trial. Divorces without children are supposed to either be settled or get a trial date in nine months. However, the longer the trial was, the longer the Judge or Magistrate is going to take before they make a decision based on the evidence they received at trial. Why? Because the longer the trial was, the more evidence and testimony the Judge or Magistrate has to review before making a decision. Besides reviewing all the evidence, they have to compare the evidence to the law and compose a written decision. In Ohio, it generally takes anywhere between 4 months and one year to get a decision after a divorce trial. A year is extreme, but it happens. Occasionally, Judges or Magistrates take even longer, but this is becoming increasingly rare.
Second, there are going to be several hearings in a divorce before you actually get your trial date. At a minimum, there will be one pre-trial date, but often you will have a temporary orders hearing, at least one pre-trial conference, and sometimes, a status conference or settlement conference. THEN you get your trial date. At most of those hearings, the clients have to be available to provide information requested by the court, and to consent to any possible settlement. But the clients cannot be present when the attorneys talk to the Judge or Magistrate – and for good reason. Unless you are representing yourself in your divorce case, any time you talk to the Magistrate you are giving the Magistrate evidence. The Magistrate is only supposed to take evidence during a contested hearing, when both sides are presenting evidence. You are not going to have a contested hearing on every court date – the cost would be outrageous, and even if you could afford it – the court doesn’t have the time. There are simply too many cases on the docket for that. Your divorce truly would last for years if every court date was a contested hearing. In Ohio divorces, some things are settled by agreement or procedure, not a hearing.
Third, there are rules that attorneys, Judges and Magistrates are supposed to following when requesting and granting continuances. In addition to whatever local rules may be established in the county and court that is hearing your divorce, the Rules of Superintendence for the Courts of Ohio provide guidelines which are designed to prevent excessive or abusive continuances. Click here to see Ohio Rule of Superintendence Rule 41 – Conflict of Trial Court Assignment Dates, Continuances and Engaged Counsel.

Suzanne Elizabeth Anderson
I've listened to Yo-Yo Ma perform the Cello Suite No. 1 In G Major a thousand times, but this morning as a snowstorm silently raged outside, I bowed my head, closed my eyes and carefully considered its beauty.
Day by day, I plead and cajole God with entreaties for this need or that disappointment. Or, as if it were a special incantation, I repeat the words of the Lord's prayer, so familiar that the words slide over my tongue without recognition of their meaning, as if I could move God if I said just the right combination of words.
But how often do I silence myself and listen to God?
One of the most challenging verses in the Bible for me, is this: "What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead." (Hebrews 11:1 Living Bible)
I suppose it is because I like to be in control that I have a difficult time "letting go and letting God." And because I refuse to completely surrender my hopes and dreams and fears, to trust that God's plan is better than I can ever imagine, God continues to bring me back to this verse and this lesson. And continues to make me wait.
As another year closes I have to admit, doing things my way doesn’t work. It’s time for a new approach to the same old resolutions. This year, I will surrender and allow myself to rest in God's peace. As much as I yearn to run headlong into the same walls again, I want to learn to be still and experience God’s presence and learn to discern His perfect will.
Peace as enveloping as the silent snow falling outside. Gentle, relentless, each snowflake so fragile, yet so powerful that I can hear the rumble of dynamite they use to move it.
That is the power of God's silence during this waiting time. So tender I don't consciously experience it until I recognize its impression afterwards. Then I understand the waiting was not idle, but an active refinement by God upon my heart. Slowly, gradually creating my best self.
I can be God's apprentice during this time. But I must open my heart to his direction, rather than as I so ardently try to always do, what I know must be best. I will wait, rest, and with an open heart, learn to see my life from God's big picture perspective.
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. (Psalm 90:12)
Writing out goals has always been a reflexive beginning to my new year. Yet, I feel conflicted this year. As I ponder the why of my desire for resolutions but the hesitation to make yet another list of things, it occurs to me that I am seeking revelations this year, not resolutions.
A resolution would be that I will lose weight, again.
A revelation is that I want to enjoy a long and active life made possible by healthy choices regardless of what I weigh.
The same principle applies to seeking God, while I wait for God.
A few years ago, I bought a Bible-in-a-Year and determined to read my way through it. I did, but honestly, other than a feeling of accomplishment, it didn't help me achieve a closer relationship with God.
This year, my revelation is that I will stop doing spiritual activities as if they are rungs on a ladder climbing toward Heaven.
Instead, I will seek God's presence in my doing of things. As I read my Bible, as I pray, I will seek God first.
In this way, my activities become revelations, not resolutions. With this there will be no disappointment at the impossibility of an improbable list of resolutions.
Like Saint Paul, I will embrace the new year, "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:12-14)
It's not about resolutions, it's about revelations. It's not about waiting on God, it's about being in the presence of God. And always drawing closer to God. Always. That's all that matters. | <urn:uuid:db84cdba-102c-4131-bab0-0f5f520894dd> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.suzanneelizabeths.com/2017/12/of-snowstorms-and-new-years-resolutions.html | 2019-11-13T05:51:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665985.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113035916-20191113063916-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.968292 | 912 | [

I’ve always said that when you have a disability or a chronic condition or disease, either you manage it, or it will manage you. I prefer to be in the former group, but I often run the risk of micromanaging my disability, so to speak. Or, more accurately, I push too hard and it winds up managing me instead. Now, I’m not talking about bungee jumping when my leg is impaired, or doing something completely stupid. But in my quest to live my normal life despite my inability to walk like normal people, I do wind up in trouble here and there.
Case in point: I posted a while back about being on a wicked, nasty drug that has some seriously dangerous potential side effects. I’ve been extremely lucky in that while I do suffer the tendonitis pain, the fatigue, some nausea, and a few others, I do not see pink elephants on parade, ridden by elves in glittering tutus. I do not hear John Lennon telling me to imagine other such spectacles, and perhaps most blessedly, I do not have the urge to play chicken with a freight train. In my opinion, these are All Good Things.
That one little detail about the tendonitis, though; that one is an issue. Dr. A. heard that I was on the Big Nasty after about a week of it and tweaked. He was, to say the least, not happy. So after he growled and glared, his bottom line answer was that he understood why I had to do the whole three weeks, but “until further notice,” I was not to push, pull, lift, carry, or do anything at all to stress my tendons in any way. No strenuous exercise, no tough workouts, nothing. Any idea how hard that is? I have limits to what I can lift and carry, and I am well aware of what they are. But now, those limits have been scaled back drastically and I find myself having to ask for help in moving or lifting what seems like the dumbest stuff. It’s irritating as hell for me, and I’m sure it is for the people around me as well. The family has been great as always, stepping in to lift the turkey in and out of the oven, carrying boxes left by strapping UPS drivers up the stairs for me, and generally acting like the sweetest mother hens you could ever want. (Or not want.)
Today we decided to take a stroll through the trails at the Eno River State Park. The Teacher was up for whatever, and the Professor likes going on nature walks and such. The Scientist decided to come along as well, as he’d never been to Eno. I didn’t feel like I could really call this a “hike,” though. I mean, the trails were pretty clean, and the inclines were manageable, even for me. Semantics aside, though, it was a gorgeous day, and off we went, all of us with cameras of various types in tow. Alejandro is always up for new places, and we had a delightful time.
The one pitfall though, was the zillion or so exposed tree roots all over. They provided some cool photographic fodder (see below), but no matter how careful I was to watch where my feet went, I caught my toe several times. One of those times, I went down hard, landing on my right hand, which jarred my shoulder badly. It didn’t bother me overmuch at the time, but as the evening has worn on, the pain has settled in nicely. Having missed my afternoon dose of ibuprofen, I’m sure it’s inflamed more than usual, but I will definitely need to ice and drug it tonight.
Part of me is annoyed at the incident. Part of me is still proud at least, that I went on the hike instead of sitting on my tail at home, being lazy. Part of me realizes that in attempting physical exertion, I set myself up for this crap. And part of me doesn’t really care anymore. After all, what’s one more aspect of pain? But for all the parts, and all the aspects, I guess my bottom line for the day is that I had a really good time, and I’m glad I went. Which probably just makes me crazier than usual. =) | <urn:uuid:7e58540d-8078-4a55-864c-ddcde5cdeed3> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://athirdandahalf.wordpress.com/tag/eno-river-state-park/ | 2019-11-13T05:04:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665985.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113035916-20191113063916-00398.warc.gz | en | 0.981218 | 919 | [

Governments / Central banks – A country’s central bank can play an important role in the foreign exchange markets. They can cause an increase or decrease in the value of their nation’s currency by trying to control money supply, inflation, and (or) interest rates. They can use their substantial foreign exchange reserves to try and stabilize the market.
<>Hedge funds – Somewhere around 70 to 90% of all foreign exchange transactions are speculative in nature. This means, the person or institutions that bought or sold the currency has no plan of actually taking delivery of the currency; instead, the transaction was executed with sole intention of speculating on the price movement of that particular currency. Retail speculators (you and I) are small cheese compared to the big hedge funds that control and speculate with billions of dollars of equity each day in the currency markets. >
<>As major economies across the globe—including the U.S.—followed QE measures in the aftermaths of the 2008 financial crisis, a good portion of the QE money made its way into money market mutual funds as a haven. This migration of funds has led to interest rates remaining low for a long duration, and the diminishing of returns from money market funds. >
<>Government Normally at least 99.5% of the fund’s total assets are invested in cash, U.S. government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully (i.e., collateralized by cash or government securities)—including at least 80% in U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements for those securities. Certain issuers of U.S. government securities (e.g., “Government-Sponsored Enterprises” such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks) are sponsored or chartered by Congress, but their securities are neither issued by nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. >
It has long been understood that regulation around the extension of credit requires substantial levels of integrity throughout the system. To the extent regulation can help insure that base levels of integrity persist throughout the chain, from borrower to lender, and it curtails the overall extension of credit to reasonable levels, episodic financial crisis may be averted.
To many retail investors, money market funds are confusingly similar to traditional bank demand deposits. Virtually all large money market funds offer check writing, ACH transfers, wiring of funds, associated debit and credit cards, detailed monthly statements of all cash transactions, copies of canceled checks, etc. This makes it appear that cash is actually in the individual’s account. With net asset values reported flat at $1.00, despite the market value variance of the actual underlying assets, an impression of rock solid stability is maintained. To help maintain this impression, money market fund managers frequently forgo being reimbursed legitimate fund expenses, or cut their management fee, on an ad hoc and informal basis, to maintain that solid appearance of stability.
In the 1970s, money market funds began disintermediating banks from their classic interposition between savers and borrowers. The funds provided a more direct link, with less overhead. Large banks are regulated by the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Notably, the Fed is itself owned by the large private banks, and controls the overall supply of money in the United States. The OCC is housed within the Treasury Department, which in turn manages the issuance and maintenance of the multi-trillion dollar debt of the U.S. government. The overall debt is of course connected to ongoing federal government spending vs. actual ongoing tax receipts. Unquestionably, the private banking industry, bank regulation, the national debt, and ongoing governmental spending politics are substantially interconnected. Interest rates incurred on the national debt is subject to rate setting by the Fed, and inflation (all else being equal) allows today's fixed debt obligation to be paid off in ever cheaper to obtain dollars. The third major bank regulator, designed to swiftly remove failing banks is the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, a bailout fund and resolution authority that can eliminate banks that are failing, with minimum disruption to the banking industry itself. They also help ensure depositors continue to do business with banks after such failures by insuring their deposits.
<>A cryptocurrency is a digital or virtual currency designed to work as a medium of exchange. It uses cryptography to secure and verify transactions as well as to control the creation of new units of a particular cryptocurrency. Essentially, cryptocurrencies are limited entries in a database that no one can change unless specific conditions are fulfilled. >
<>The foreign exchange market is where currencies are traded. Currencies are important to most people around the world, whether they realize it or not, because currencies need to be exchanged in order to conduct foreign trade and business. If you are living in the U.S. and want to buy cheese from France, either you or the company that you buy the cheese from has to pay the French for the cheese in euros (EUR). This means that the U.S. importer would have to exchange the equivalent value of U.S. dollars (USD) into euros. The same goes for traveling. A French tourist in Egypt can't pay in euros to see the pyramids because it's not the locally accepted currency. As such, the tourist has to exchange the euros for the local currency, in this case the Egyptian pound, at the current exchange rate. >
<>To understand the revolutionary impact of cryptocurrencies you need to consider both properties. Bitcoin as a permissionless, irreversible, and pseudonymous means of payment is an attack on the control of banks and governments over the monetary transactions of their citizens. You can‘t hinder someone to use Bitcoin, you can‘t prohibit someone to accept a payment, you can‘t undo a transaction. >
Transactions that occur through the use and exchange of these altcoins are independent from formal banking systems, and therefore can make tax evasion simpler for individuals. Since charting taxable income is based upon what a recipient reports to the revenue service, it becomes extremely difficult to account for transactions made using existing cryptocurrencies, a mode of exchange that is complex and difficult to track.
<>The U.S. News Best Mutual Fund rankings combine expert analyst opinions and fund-level data to rank over 4,500 mutual funds. Rankings reflect a variety of popular fund rating systems which track funds’ historical and current performance, risk and other metrics to help investors understand each fund’s overall strategy and quality. To learn more about how the funds are ranked, see the methodology. >
For traders—especially those with limited funds—day trading or swing trading in small amounts is easier in the forex market than other markets. For those with longer-term horizons and larger funds, long-term fundamentals-based trading or a carry trade can be profitable. A focus on understanding the macroeconomic fundamentals driving currency values and experience with technical analysis will help new forex traders to become more profitable. | <urn:uuid:c980304c-3454-4186-99c0-80e93d14d570> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://profitsonthenet.com/forex-money-management-spreadsheet-download-forex-money-management-spreadsheet-download.html | 2019-11-14T16:07:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668529.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20191114154802-20191114182802-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.95079 | 1,435 | [

My ever changing wants list. Mostly crafty supplies, for the purpose of swapping, but a few other things might end up here too. If you have stuff I want, I love to trade (you can use the contact form at the bottom of the page if you’d like)! 🙂 I also have my Etsy want lists: Here and Here. (I know, they are 2 different lists. It depends on which Etsy account I’m signed into when I “like” items. I love a lot of Etsy items, so it’s way too much work to sign out of one account and into another and back when I just want to like an item. So, 2 lists it is. 🙂 One doesn’t have priority over the other).
– alcohol inks
– cool beads – glass, lampwork, handmade, unique, pretty, intricate, vintage, etc
– copic markers
– Dr Who things (especially the UK 50th anniversary stamps!)
– Faber Castell Gelatos
– fabric (quilting cotton – LOVE batiks, kawaii, tone on tone, bright rainbow colors, small prints. Not so much into disney and similar cartoons)
– Fiskars paper cutter blades (like this)
– felting needles/felting tool (the one that has a few needles in one handle)
– glimmer mists
– hand painted/handmade, interesting, or fancy papers
– letter opener (pretty, unusual, hand embellished, whatever, as long as its awesome and functional)
– little spray bottles
– manila tags (any size, the more the better. I’d love to have a good stash to alter!)
– masks/stencils for painting (ie – cool plastic doilies, stencils, etc) Like Heidiswapp.com!
– mica sheets
– mini/art quilts I can hang on the wall.
– mosaic tiles in pinks. Tiles can be stained glass, ceramic, broken plates (flat backed only), etc
– nail polish! I love quality nail polish. OPI is my fave, also love brands like Zoya and NFu, I’m not big on the textured, crackle, and huge glitters.
– one inch square punch
– pretty paper napkins (patterns, pictures, etc)
– Ray Bradbury paperbacks. I loved Farenheit 451, and it’s so far the only RB book I’ve read. I’d love more!
– rubber/acrylic stamps (especially textures/patterns, faces, vintage look, maybe even hand carved)
– Sakura Gel pens, always in need of White Souffle and Black Glaze
– Shiva Paintstiks (I have some, like primaries and blackand white, looking for other colors)
– Stickles (don’t have to be brand name), msg me to see what ones I need
– tim holtz stuff, especially things to alter like the little glass shapes, etc.
– vintage things. Little watch boxes & crystals, real labels, interesting ephemera, etc
– washi tape, deco tape, cool packing tape (I do a lot of shipping, and like to snaz up my packages!)
– wax seal stamps and sticks. I like interesting ones, like bees and crowns, or even my initials, J or D
– wool fabric for rug hooking (mainly colors; I have a ton of black, grey, and browns.)
– wool roving
– a yarn bowl | <urn:uuid:2c5d7bb0-154f-4edd-a583-d16915fd46e5> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://dallyk.wordpress.com/wants/ | 2019-11-17T00:42:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668772.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20191116231644-20191117015644-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.874598 | 762 | [

Are you feeling obligated to say “yes” to everything on this journey of the New Year, New You? Don’t get so caught up in trying to do all the things that you forget to take care of the most important one, you. FOMO, fear of missing out ICYMI, is real, but don’t overdo the parties, girls weekends, and Soul Cycle bachelorette parties (who is that cruel?!) and miss out on the peace that comes from staying-in. “But Netflix doesn’t enhance my personal growth!” you say. I beg to differ, but definitely understand the sentiment. Thankfully art director Chelsea Spear has put together a list of perfectly good excuses you can use to cancel plans. File these under self-care, an excuse no one can argue with. Read them here, alongside gorgeous photos of her perfectly serene Portland apartment, a place I wouldn’t leave for anything.
With work and social calendars demanding so much us, sometimes it’s okay to cancel plans and stay home. The new year gives us an unwritten excuse to break rules, switch things up, and form new habits. So instead of coming up excuse-less when people ask why you’re busy, tell them the truth. Who knows, they may want to join you!
1. You’re going to take a crack at that reading list
Last year I uncovered my deep love of reading. It’s become something I actually look forward to. If I’m excited about a book, I can’t wait to get home and open the fragrant old pages and pick up where I left off the day before. If you’re already a reader, consider joining an online book club, or hosting one of your own at your house. If you’re not an avid reader, be sure you have a good recommendation before picking up a book. I run a book club called Whine Club that’s always welcoming new members.
2. You’re learning something new
Interested in picking up a new hobby, or continuing an old one? Now’s the time, to bite bullet and do it. Learn a new language, pick up an instrument, take an online course, or design your own font. Be inspired and inspire others by sharing your stories of success or failure.
3. You’ll make a meal for your friends instead
You don’t have to be a gourmet chef to treat your friends to a warm meal. Instead of going out, offer to make food at home! Be it dinner or brunch, informal or sophisticated, quick or laborious, your people will love it.
4. You’re starting a movie marathon
Letting yourself rest and be lazy is something we should absolutely do more often. Being responsible with all life’s obligations gives us permission to unwind and relax. Pick and actor, or genre and cozy up for an evening or weekend with some award-winning flicks. I’m on a Julia Roberts kick right now: up next, Notting Hill.
5. You need to refresh your space
Catch up on your spring cleaning before the clutter takes over by purging your home room by room. Keep what you use, donate or recycle things that are taking up space and collecting dust. An organized space reduces anxiety, stress and saves you plenty of time cleaning.
And if your space isn’t cluttered but feels underwhelming, take time to redecorate. Strip the art and decor from your walls, and make sure your furniture flows within the room. Piece by piece, place art, decor and accents in a fresh new way to stimulate good energy and give the room purpose.
6. You need to stay knowledgable
To say there’s a lot going on in the world is an understatement. There’s so much happening that it feels impossible to try to keep up, but it’s important that we do. If there are issues and policies you’re passionate about, take the time each week to see what’s going on. Educate yourself on local, national and universal issues and form your own opinions.
No more excuses!! Staying home can be as rewarding, if not more so than going out. Join a club, take a class, cook for loved ones, get organized and catch up on you-time. It’s actually quite wonderful. | <urn:uuid:b25fd826-d709-4f78-9060-66f83fd55968> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://blog.society6.com/no-fomo-6-legit-excuses-cancelling-plans/ | 2019-11-18T11:41:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669755.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118104047-20191118132047-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.925134 | 933 | [

USDA. ARS. Agricultural Research Magazine.
Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists are tracking a honey bee killer, and their investigations have taken them from hives in Tucson, Arizona, to Bismarck, North Dakota. Led by ARS entomologist Gloria DeGrandi-Hoffman, the team is staking out hive entrances and monitoring the comings and goings of foraging honey bees, which may be the killer's unwitting accomplices. None of the busy little winged bearers of pollen and nectar will get by without inspection: The prime suspect—an eight-legged, pinhead-sized parasite called the Varroa mite—seems to be sneaking into the hives on the bees' bodies. The Varroa mite, Varroa destructor, is considered public enemy number one to honey bees nationwide. The parasite feeds on the blood of adult bees and their brood, weakening them and endangering the entire hive when infestations become severe. But the mite also poses an indirect threat to more than 90 flowering crops that depend on bee pollination, including almonds, apples, blueberries, cherries, and cantaloupes.
USDA. Agricultural Research Service.
Along the Rio Grande in Texas, tiny insects are taking a big bite out of an invasive weed that competes for limited water resources vital to agriculture and native vegetation. Several years ago, ARS scientists released two insect species as part of a biocontrol program to kill giant reed (Arundo donax).

In 2019, the Alaska Office of the State Veterinarian, in collaboration with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the University of Alaska, began the Alaska Submit-A-Tick Program. Through this program, individuals who find ticks on themselves, their family members, pets, or wildlife (e.g. hunted or trapped animals) can submit ticks for species identification and pathogen testing. Researchers are asking Alaskans to submit ticks to help determine which tick species are currently in the state. Tick submissions will also help us learn more about how ticks are being imported into Alaska so that we can create effective strategies to limit their introduction. Ticks can transmit bacteria, parasites, and viruses that can cause diseases in humans and wildlife. Pathogen testing allows us to assess tickborne disease risk in the state. | <urn:uuid:c2ce919a-81fd-48e0-aa58-7c2c63439afc> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.invasivespeciesinfo.gov/resources-indexed?f%5B0%5D=field_subject%3A220&f%5B1%5D=field_location%3A84&%3Bf%5B1%5D=field_location%3A110 | 2019-11-18T10:57:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669755.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118104047-20191118132047-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.902469 | 535 | [

- Implmenent major features in the game, like the wrapping table.
- Charachter and animation programmering
- Implemented a taste preference system for the characters based in the ingredients that the player used.
Toca Kitchen Sushi is the critically acclaimed sequel to Toca Kitchen 2. In the game the players prepare sushi and other diches to three distinct customers each with their own favorite and least favorite ingredients.
My second professional project. It was a big hectic development but it turned out great! I was responsible to design and implement the sushi rolling station in the game which was fun since it was such an important core-feature of the game. It took some time to get the dynamic mesh-deformation of the nori sheets to work properly but in the end, I think it was all worth it. I also worked on implementing all the animations and animation system in the game, including the taste preference system.
The overwhelmingly positive response from both players and reviews have been one of the best moments in my professional career.
Best of all, because this is sushi, is the wrapping table

Am using the following script in an expression which is returning values as based on the conditions:-
=sum(if((year(enquiry_award_loss_date)=YR and month(enquiry_award_loss_date)=Mth and (TeamStatus = 'Active') and (opheadm.status<9)and (Whiteboardexclusion<>'1'), if((opdetm.spare)>'0',opdetm.val/opdetm.spare,opdetm.val)))
This works however, I need to add another calculation changing the opdetm.val returned to a negative if the following field:- opheadm.Order_No like 'CN%' .
if(Wildmatch(opheadm.Order_No,'CN?') so here it will be true only if there are three letters like CNA or CNS. But if there are more letters like ACNbi or CNlio then it will always fail. For those you can use '*cn*' | <urn:uuid:293c3122-e0db-487c-aedd-26acf13a98bb> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView-Scripting/Chart-Expressions-if-then-else-nested-Ifs/m-p/705709 | 2019-11-21T14:38:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670821.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121125509-20191121153509-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.730432 | 219 | [

This week is Thanksgiving in the United States. This means that over the coming weekend many Americans will be putting up Christmas decorations in and outside their houses. Many children will be putting finishing touches on their letters to Santa. The shopping malls will start to fill and while economists examine and measure the retail sales bump for signs that the world will not end, we, as a nation, will come together to incrementally crank up the material contents stored in our homes and the corresponding mass of our public landfills.
But what do Atheists do on Christmas?
OH, and some of us put up Christmas and/or Hanukkah and/or Kwanza decorations, we go to the malls or on line and get presents for family and loved ones, engage in Secret Santa negotiations and some of us (and by "us" I mean "them" in this case) sing Christmas Carols.
And there is another pleasure we atheists get from Christmas. From our perspective of understanding that Christmas is a cultural event as much as, if not more than, a religious holiday, we enjoy, and even get giddy about, the reaction of people who are nervous about their own religion and who disdain us atheists to our very existence. The ten commandments displayed at the courthouse is an abomination. The city funded Christmas creche in the town square is inappropriate and obnoxious. The Christmas tree in front of the state house? Meh...
But what about Richard Dawkins singing christmas carols????
I wrote the following a couple of years ago, but most of you have not seen it. It applies nicely this time of year ...
The Bible-Thumping Grinch who Pissed on Christmas
I am amazed at the giddiness amongst Christian Fundamentalists that has fomented from the mere utterance of a holiday greeting by Richard Dawkins. The counter-insurgents in the War on Christmas ... the Red White and Blue, squeaky-faced smirking shits that call themselves commentators or preachers are creaming in their jeans. But they are also stepping over the line, and I'm calling them on it.
I do not really know or care what Richard Dawkins thinks, or said, about Christmas. I do know what I think and how my multi-canonical family celebrates the holidays, and I certainly know a sanctimonious bastard when I see one. And I'm seeing them everywhere on the Internet.
Here's how it is with me. My closest associate in life is probably my daughter, because she and I have known each other longer and more continuously and spent more time with each other over a number of years than anyone else. She and I have almost the same attitude about Christmas. It's cool because you get presents. Giving presents is fun too. Which is more fun depends. On the presents.
There are additional things beyond this that we each appreciate. We both like the family gatherings and the food. I don't care about the tree and the ornaments and the decorations. If it was traditional to put up model train sets I might care more because I have a Y-chromosome, and there's a train gene on there. But I don't care about the other stuff. My daughter likes that stuff more than I do.
I like the smell of air that is chilled by two day old snow, served up to my nose at a temperature between 21 and 34 F. This reproduces an olfactory experience that must match some earlier experiences that were pleasant. I don't think my daughter has those visceral reactions at her age.
Many things about Christmas I find utterly annoying.
So, Julia and I have recently married into a new family, Amanda's. Her family is part Christian and part Jewish, and of course Amanda and I (and Julia) share our particular "belief system." Amanda's extended (and I do mean extended) family is organized among a set of matriarchs. The celebrations of major holidays rotates among the homes of the matriarchs. Since only one of the matriarchs is Jewish, and that's Amanda's step mom, Jewish holidays are celebrated there, but the Christian holidays rotate through all the families, with the Jewish matriarch fully carrying out her Christian holiday duties.
There are certain traditions.
The Arrival of Santa. As long as there are proto-sentient offspring, some lucky designee dresses up as Santa and we all conspire to fool the little ones into believing that Santa is real. It's a lot better than just lying to them. The transition they will experience will not just be "oh, mom and dad made up this Santa thing" but rather, it will be more complex ... they will have vague, often olfactory and tactile, memories of each Christmas Santa event, each with a different relative wearing the Santa Suit. Moments after they realize Santa does not exist, it will also dawn on them that each of those Santa's must have been Somebody ... Grandma? Uncle Nate? Duane? That was YOU??? Holy crap! And so on. Trauma is good for the little ones.
The Bronx Swap. My new family does not call it a Bronx Swap (that's me, I'm from New York). Rather, they call it "The Gift Exchange" or something genteel like that. Everybody brings one gift, then you draw numbers out of a hat, and so on and so forth. You know the drill.
The food. Say no more.
As long as there is an elder who believes that a prayer should be uttered before every meal, there will be a prayer uttered before every meal. The atheists stand quietly and politely. The agnostics bow their heads half way ... it is probably less hypocritical for them to bow their heads than it would be for the atheists, which is probably, in the long run, why they call themselves agnostics. But I digress. The Jews who are atheists (yes, you can be both) bow their heads too. The fundies (there are a couple) squinch their eyes up when they bow their heads.
I imagine it was different back in the 60s and 70s, when the present matriarchs were either too young to be in charge or just coming to their own, but earlier matriarchs ruled. The Jews had not married into the family yet. There were, however, both Protestants and Catholics. Indeed, there were mixed marriages between Protestants and Catholics. Even more importantly, perhaps, there were Norwegians and Swedes mixing it up, interbreeding, getting along, and so on. The limit of tolerance is not known to this family! The whole thing would have had its own pattern different from, yet similar to, today.
Here is my point: There is a spectrum across which all these people, at these events, range. We have people who go to churches where their preacher tells them that gays are sinners, and we have gay people. We have people who worship Jesus and people who may think of Jesus as a somewhat misguided Jewish boy. We have people who are rabid atheists, people who are agnostics (an agnostic is an atheist caught in the headlamps of family matters, really) and Lutherans and Catholics and Promise Seekers. What holds everybody together is that they are related by blood or marriage (but never both!). Any one of these Christmas celebrations (and the same happens for Easter but on a slightly smaller scale) could be a wedding or a funeral, in terms of who shows up. They are just family gatherings, and other than the crazy guy in the red suit and the gift exchange, there is nothing ceremonial that marks the day.
But this is not OK with the right wing Red White and Blue God-boy Preachers and Talk Radio Yahoos. Oh no, not at all. An atheist, like Richard Dawkins or me or anyone else cannot participate in this ancient holiday tradition in a casual manner without Great Meaning being attributed!
When I look at guys like this:
staring at me from the Internet, and I read words like this ...
The thought of Richard Dawkins singing any carols with explicit Christian content is difficult to hold -- unless the Oxford professor intends to sing of a faith he does not profess.
We can only wonder which Christmas carols are Richard Dawkins' favorites. The sight of an avowed atheist joining in the Christmas chorus is a bit hard to imagine.
I get a little angry and a little annoyed.
The cultural celebrations in which my family engages are not really subject to review, criticism, or comment by sanctimonious bastards like this. We have the right to assemble, and we have the right to mix creeds and cultures and approaches in a way that this family has managed to work out over the years very nicely. We do not need to be judged or told that we must stay away from Christmas or do Christmas in a certain way. The right wing fundamentalists do not own this holiday.
There is a lot more wrong with Christmas than there is right with Christmas. A week ago, my wife stopped at a major bookstore to buy a book for a Jewish relative for Hanukkah. She needed it gift wrapped, but they only had Christmas paper. This was during Hanukkah. That was annoying and, frankly inappropriate. That was Borders Books. The carols are annoying. I find all public music annoying, but the Christian carols are an imposition in the public square. I don't care about Christian Christmas decorations going up in public space as long as the solstice rock (or whatever) and the Giant Inflated Dreidel can go up as well. I object to the spending of public money on any of this, but loaning a bit of public space for others to use is reasonable. It is public space.
The utterance of "Merry Christmas" and the widespread corporate and institutional exploitation of Christmas has never bothered me any more than any commercialism ... from fast food to "without life itself chemicals would be impossible" ... and not just because I'm used to it. Rather, I grew up in a liberal part of the country where no one really cared too much if you were an atheist or a Hasidim, and it was common to see diverse religious iconography displayed around at various holiday seasons. But this sort of thing has became an issue exactly because the right wing has attacked -- attacked the tolerant and the unconcerned, the cultural celebrators and the casual Christmas-doers --- from TV and talk radio, the pulpit, and even from state and national legislative bodies!
We are now expected to fall into line and behave as they do, or get out. I am supposed to become like Bill O'Reilly. I would cut my wrists first.
No, Mr. and Mrs Red White and Blue Pastie-Face Right Wing Yahoo, this holiday, or any others, is not yours. Christmas is just as much Richard Dawkins' .. and mine ... as it is anyone else's. This is what is meant by the term "cultural." The Cultural emerges from the actions and attitudes of the participants. What you are trying to do is dictate a narrow theocratically defined and litmus tested range of behaviors. Now, you are telling me what my attitude needs to be about a holiday in order to escape your disdain and ridicule. What will you be telling me to do next?
In fact, this holiday is more ours than yours, because ours is everyone's and yours is close minded, selfish, parsimonious and pompous. You are mean. Santa is jolly. We're with Santa, you cold hearted bastards!

War is Over, if you let it.
Might want to change the title to "begin" instead of "being"...
I'm going to have to repost this. I've been telling my kids, if I can sing about Santa Claus, I can sing about Jesus.
Nice! I like it. A well-balanced approach. In a downtown Vancouver coffee-shop run by two Sikh brothers and their family, I had several interesting conversations with them. After I knew them well enough I asked what they thought of Christmas. The one with a wife and children said that he loves it, and he gets into all the trappings and gift-giving and they talk about peace and goodness on earth, and our part in trying to make it happen. The non-married brother liked it, but would like it more if he had a wife.
Just because something has religious overtones does not mean you can't enjoy the experience in your own way if you don't share that religion. It is part of our culture. Even people with other strong religious beliefs enjoy participating in this holiday. There will always be uptight wingnuts on both sides trying to create controversy. Fine, but don't expect us to come running to join you. We'll be too busy celebrating Christmas in our own way.
Incidentally, when I lived in Vancouver I'd participate in other religious holidays. My Asian and East Indian coworkers and friends were always inviting me (dragging me in a couple of cases) and I had good times at various parades or meals.
Pat: Thanks. I saw that error (and a couple of others, also fixed) just before my internet connection crashed.
Let the War on Christmas *begin*, NOT "being." C'mon, Greg.
More often each year I think people say "Merry Christmas" to me with a smirk on their face because they are thinking of the War on Christmas and are expecting a come-back. Or at least that is what I think they are thinking.
Terry, I think we've been over that.
Christmas carols are sung in church, and church is, unfortunately, one of the last places where people can sing in a group without appearing a bit daft. To be sure, one can sing along to the radio or in the shower or go to a karaoke bar, but there's nothing quite like a choir. Besides, it's obvious why Dawkins might enjoy caroling; the music is beautiful and for him probably carries the memories of Christmases past, just as it does for almost anyone who spent a childhood around a Christmas tree.
Sorry, but I think there is a hypocracy to write a book like God Delusion and the sing about Christ the Savior. Pick a side, pick a stance, Mr. Dawkins.
Also notice that the great doctor stated that England is a Christian Nation. Since America is an offshoot of that, America is also a Christian Nation. So we can stop arguing now.
Brent, there are carol groups in my neighborhood who do not sing in church and do sing on the street. I think they a Buddhists.
Terrific post Greg.
Christmas is a cultural tradition. The mixture of Christian, pagan, commerical and pop culture all work together wonderfully.
Pass the egg nog.
Bob, is it also hypocrisy to sing Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?
Poor Bob and his reading comprehension skills have been separated again. It's okay, Bob, we all love you around Christmas, and maybe Santa will bring them back to you.
I do have a couple of little points that you may have missed.
1. It's all in good fun to celebrate this Holiday season no matter what the name.
2. Atheists are not vampires, so Jesus is not scary. It's kind of cute the way you want to claim a mythology, but have at it. We'll celebrate Krismas right beside you.
3. The offshooting of the United States from Britain required a lot of shooting. You may want to bone up on history.
I actually agree with O'Reilly in that this "let's not offend anyone by calling it Christmas" is silly. But then so it trying to exclude everyone else from this supposedly Christian good time. If you're going to co-opt someone else's good time, then you don't get to be exclusive about it.
I speak neither Italian or German yet Verdi and Wagner can both bring tears to my eyes ...
Bob @ 11
The UK is officially a Christian nation because the Queen is head of state and head of the Church of England. We do not have separation of church and state as in the USA. However despite this we are still probably the most secular nation, thank reason. Us rationalists can appreciate the Christmas music and why shouldn't we join in as it is a social occasion with our friends and families as much as a celebration of Christianity. Also remember the roots of all this predate Christ by some thousands of years.
As a biologist and an atheist I have no problem at all with participating in fun cultural traditions that may have religious significance to some people. I travel to the Amazon regularly and when I visit indigenous people and they invite me to participate in their ceremonies and dances I do so joyfully, even though I do not actually believe in the river gods. Although my cultural tradition is Jewish, my parents were atheists and we had a Christmas tree every year next to the menorah because they were fun! My wife is an atheist and she has been attending Messiah sings every year for decades. I see nothing hypocritical about that. Besides, many of the symbols and traditions of Christmas are actually of pagan origin.
I am an atheist so I have as much a problem with Pagan as Christian.
But yes the presents can be good.
I'm sending this link to all my relatives.
I sing songs about Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer with gusto. Am I being a hypocrite for not believing in such magical entities?
I've been lurking here for months, since dissenting comments either seem to ignite flame wars or are shunned as trolls. But because I surprisingly and passionately agree with this post, here goes.
I am Catholic and I love Christmas because it's so much more than a religious holiday. It's so annoying when I hear "Put Christ back into Christmas." Then the usual response, "Christmas was originally a Pagan festival." How much was it ever all that focused on Christ? Perhaps, the main reason the Church embraced the custom was to officially continue the celebration by declaring it "holy". Essentially, we are obliged to enjoy it. In the Northern hemisphere, mankind has an apparent need for a joyful event during the darkest time of the year. Assigning the birth of our Savior, not only permitted participation, it encouraged it.
Because everyone CAN and DOES share this wonderful time of year, it is just that more special. As much as it irks me that uttering "Merry Christmas" actually offends someone, the notion that Atheists should be excluded is far more abhorrent.
Dawkins once remarked he'd like a t-shirt that says, "Atheists for Jesus." Knowing he likes to sing Christmas carols, makes me like him even more. In the spirit of the holiday, I now excuse him for not objecting to Bill Maher's award.(like anyone cares what I think, LOL)
Merry Christmas to all! This year, let's live it up!
As a strong "Type-A" Atheist, I find that smiling and returning every "Merry Christmas " with a "F*&k You" is a real feel-good and teaching moment. Ha Ha Bob - Got you! I save that
Special Magic Moment and Greeting for Bob and his ilk.
Happy Holidays to everyone else!
Great post Greg. I was raised Catholic and later became an atheist, but I'll give up celebrating Christmas when I'm dead. I love the holiday season, and I love the decorations, and I love the carols (for about the first week). I also love the giving/getting presents and eating and spending time with family. All of it just creates a visceral joy in me and I think it always will.
With that said, I definitely prefer "Happy Holidays" because of the inherent inclusivity of the greeting. I hate how the religious right loons try to push "Merry Christmas" down our throats as if exclusion is virtue.
Bob, I think Adrian crushed your argument nicely. Many of the original colonists fled Europe due to religious persecution. Our founded were acutely aware of the inherent perils of mixing church and state, and thus the US was founded as a secular democracy.
If we atheists are not a factor, then why do these Xian wacko's insist on pressing the so-called "hypocrisy" of Professor Dawkins? If I were to go about every day, visiting churches and praying and singing praises to the invisible, impotent god of the Xian's, that still would not make religion any less crazy than it is now.
The tilt of the earth's axis is the Reason for the Season.
What have the godless got to do with the grinch? Every place where I'd seen christmas events renamed or trees taken down it was not because of the godless. It was always some other religious group seeking some recognition or whining about something. For example, some strange person telling the airport managers that they feel left out and could he and his friends please put up a giant candle holder? Rather than allow some strange people to put up a giant candle holder, the managers remove the tree and tell the public "It's them damn jews that killed the christmas spirit here". (I found the candle holder request very strange indeed - although Hannukah is meant to be a fun time, it's not really a religious celebration.) In other places the catholics set up a stable and some other jesus cult complains that (1) it's offensive because Mary was no virgin (yeah, Mary loved those donkeys) and (2) it's a fire hazard. Any playground excuse will do. Now for religious displays on government property - that's primarily challenged by the religious as well, not the godless (although there are godless people in organizations like AU), and it is challenged as a violation of the state's duty not to promote any religion.
Poor Bob - what version of US history did you read? The one in your cult's version of the bible?
Although many Americans belong to some jesus cult or other, the government and its laws are not based on any sect since it was realized that any such thing would only invite a war of the sects. So no particular jesus cult was given preference. In fact Thomas Jefferson wrote and explicitly stated that the USA was not a xian nation (and hence has no intention of bringing a religious war to Africa). So one of the big guys who had a huge part in establishing the nation says it's not xian; he should know, because he was there.
You got a shoutout from the Dawkins site. And on the lords day! Does that make it more of an honor?
As an atheist I really don't at all about Xmas and don't object to anything about it except for the fact that is is a Federal Holiday in the United States - Humbug on that!
@18, talking about the UK:
"we are still probably the most secular nation, thank reason"
You have *got* to be kidding - English government schools teach religious instruction: that is anything *but* secular.
If you want to see true secular, go to France. Germany does it pretty well, too.
But the UK? not on your nelly - aside the head of state/head of the Church thing, the particular brand of Christianity there is quite conservative and less progressive compared with Catholicism even.
Mind you, there's plenty of silliness in the UK - Christmas decorations including Christmas trees are progressively being phased out on account of an imaginary offense they give non-Christians.
I will never understand the thinking behind eliminating fun cultural customs (and there is nothing *Christian* about Christmas trees!) in order to pander to non-integrating immigrants. You'd be much better off getting rid of the non-integrating immigrants than the Christmas trees - save a bucket on welfare, reduce riots and terrorism, reduce crime and solve the housing shortage.
Hmph. My comment is hung up in moderation.
From the Cape of Good Hope to the Newfoundland islands,
The sands of Iran to the Panama isthmus;
From Outback Australia to Inverness Highlands
Itâs time to take arms in the War Against Christmas!
My weapons are mistletoe, Christmas trees, holly,
A yule-log, and caroling out in the snow;
Sleigh-rides and snowball-fights, eggnog and Jolly
Old Santa Claus, laughing his loud âHo! Ho! Ho!â
Weâll make them forget all the Truth of the seasonâ
The sacrifice planned by a god up aboveâ
And have them believing some bastardized reason
Like giving, or kindness, or caring or love!
Iâll cruelly and callously help out a stranger
Whoâs down on his luck or has suffered some loss,
I wonât even speak of the babe in the manger
Whom God sent to Earth to get nailed to a cross;
When the winds of December conspire to freeze us
Iâll help collect sweaters and coats for the poor,
Neglecting to make any mention of Jesus,
Whose torture is really what Christmas is for.
My hatred of Christmas will focus my labors
On weaving an atheist fabric of liesâ
For instance, Iâm giving to all of my neighbors
Gift baskets, cookies, and fruitcakes and pies!
Iâll say âMerry Christmas!â Iâll say âSeasonâs Greetings!â
Iâll say âHappy HolidaysâJoyous Noel!â
Intending of course, that with each of these meetings
The Truth About Christmas can just go to hell.
The truth is that Christmas is not about presents
Itâs no time for songs, Itâs not time to be nice
Itâs not time for feasting on turkeys or pheasantsâ
Itâs sin, and redemption by blood sacrifice.
No time to be jolly; no time to be merry
Itâs time to be solemn, and grim, and devout!
The heathens might find it depressing or scary
But that is what Christmas is truly about.
Yes, Jesus is really the ultimate reason
And Christmas is really redemption and sin;
The war against Christmas is early this seasonâ
For Godâs sake, letâs hope that the atheists win!
Frankly, I am surprised that the marxist miltant atheists/liberals/communists/socialist Godophobes haven't declared war on Thanksgiving too. After all, Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks to God for our blessings.
I agree that warhas been declared though. However, it is an unwinnable war that will result in gnashing of teeth. For now the evil marxists may be winning the battles here on earth, but one day Christ will return and abolish the evil of socialism, communism, atheism, and all other isms that have declared war on His glory and His people.
One day, those warriors against God will be thrown into a lake of fire by the warriors FOR God.
Go ahead and declare your pointless, pathetic attempt at war. History tells us that everyone who has gone against God has failed miserably. Even Satan, the once powerful and beautiful of all of the angels will burn in that same fire.
Go ahead and declare your war. We win in the end anyway. I hope you like HOT places becuase al of eternity is a long time to spend trying to put out a fire that is seven times hotter than the Sun. There you will be on fire, but not be consumes. You will suffer and scream, but no one can help. You will cry out but no one will care. You will be in misery, torment, pain, and agony, and no one will help you. There will be no escape and no ease from suffering. Darkness will surroind you and the creatures of hell will torment you day and night. You will not rest, not will you cease to be pain free for all eternity. What's worse is the fact that you will be able to see all of the followers of God in a place of complete tranquility and peace obtaining their reward for being faithful followers throught the persecution you put them through. While you suffer, they will be rewarded. Go ahead and make our lives miserable. The more you persecute us the bigger our reward and the bigger your punishment.
Merry Christmas !
@Laura #23: Well said. Please don't feel as if you are amongst enemies or will be attacked.
@Vince #32: Wow. Sounding pretty racist/nationalist toward the end there.
Tiny, you might want to read the post you're commenting on. I don't think you meant that to be that funny.
Vince, how long do those oppressed by British colonialism really have to be told that the British way is the only way? They made the empire run; they can live their own lives in what's left of it.
And Britain, in any way except officially, is indeed a very secular nation, particularly by comparison with the U.S. There are large numbers of nonbelievers, and they're mostly let alone.
@Tiny Tim #34:
I cant tell if youre serious or just making fun of the god botherers. Either way, very entertaining post. The funniest line was the one about the "evil of socialism, communism, atheism, and all other isms that have declared war on His glory and His people." LOL
Yes, I should have realized that Jesus was a capitalist, given all the biblical accounts of his obsession with the stock market, commodities trading, flipping real estate, and all those small businesses he opened. I may not believe he was divine, but I'll give it to the guy, he really knew how to work the markets.
I dont think Mohammad knew a short-term derivative from a hole in the ground.
I know you are alluding to Jesus beng a socialist. That alone is a statement of blashphemy. What Jesus did was encourage His followers tom ehlp the poor and sick by giving them food, water, money, and healing.
However, socialism does sort of the same thing. The difference is in how these things are done.
Jesus encouraged His followers to give to the poor and help the needy. Socialists force people through coercion of jailtime to give up their belongings and give it to a group of people who best benefit the socialist's political well being.
Forcing people to give up their money to a reckeless evil government and then letting that same government decide who gets the money is far different from me or your willingly of our own free will giving our neighbor some moeny becuase he lost his job.
See Jesus was not a socialist. He never forced anyone to give up anything. He allowed the to do it own their won free will.
Therefore, the term "Jesus was a socialist" is a blasphemous statement worthy of punishment.
Besides, people who do not believe in God should not be allowed to say anything negative about somethuing thye do not believe exists. That right is reserved for people who actually believe in what they are criticizing or uplifting.
Tiny Tim. Shut up. You are dead. (but not forgotten)
Uff da! Norwegians and Swedes intermarrying?!?!
I've read enough.
"See Jesus was not a socialist. He never forced anyone to give up anything. He allowed the to do it own their won free will."
Threats of hell don't count as force? The jail time you could get from not paying your taxes is a walk in the park compared to eternal fire.
I don't know who the smug guy in the suit is, but if he wants to see a whole church full of atheists singing christmas carols, all he has to do is pop in for midnight mass anywhere in the UK.
I didnt say anything bad about jesus. I said (through sarcasm) that he is the opposite of his followers. Thats a complement. As far as we know, jesus never got married, never had kids, never made any attempt to build wealth, never showed any interest in technology, never said anything negative about gays, never showed any fondness for owning weapons, and never whined about paying taxes.. Perhaps some indigenous peoples are similar, but no christian Ive ever met is anything like him.
Seems to me you made an argument that jesus was a socialist. Is hell not a prison?
You got a shoutout from the Dawkins site. And on the lords day! Does that make it more of an honor?

Dawkins link here.
Thanks, phil & Stephanie Z!
I truly enjoyed making this set instead of nativity scene for the wonderful family in California:
Kids are lovely 3 and 5 year old and are very much into nature. A bit of fairy beings fit in, not in extreme way either. It was quite refreshing reading the request about having a set that is not religion based.
I think one of the best examples about why atheists might celebrate, and embrace, certain religious holidays was examined in a short story by Shalom Auslander, in which a religious jew dies and goes to heaven. There he finds God is a giant Chicken. He then asks to go back to earth to warn his family that all their rituals and prayers are pointless...but then he changes his mind. The story was broadcast at the end of an episode of This American Life, which you can access here: http://www.thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=369
I liked that too Zippy. Got a real laugh out of it until he changed his mind and decided not to tell his family.
It is a bit sad, isn't it, that tradition could keep people from speaking the truth. Do we have to sacrifice happiness for rationality? (In our families at least?)
wait wait... I thought sacrificing rationality for happiness was the whole point of .... oh never mind, never mind.
Can't we all just get along --rationally and happily???
By the way, Greg, I did enjoy your essay, it was great. I think I will pass it on.
Cuttlefish, I don't compliment you every time you post a poem, but DAMN, that was a terrific one. :)
I actually really enjoy many Christian hymns, even though it is probably sanctimonious for me to sing them. Then again, if I liked it, I'd sing a song about Aesop's Fables.
I think it's funny that you think Christmas is more for Atheists than for Christians. First off the Christmas Holiday was to Celebrate the Birth of Our Saviour. It was commercialized by people like you that want a day off work with pay and I'm sure you enjoy the gift giving and receiving but come on. It's gutless the world owes me something people like you that continue to complain that we as Christians are infringing on your rights by saying Merry Christmas and Posting the Ten Commandments in Government buildings because after all this country was built on Christian Values and Morals and Beliefs. Something that has held this country together from it's start. Now you start taking the foundation out from under it and it all starts falling apart ( Obama ) need I say more. I will NEVER force my beliefs on anyone, but now you are trying to take Christmas away from us and claim it as your own. You can't even be an original Atheist, you have to take something from someone else and twist it to make it what you think it should be. Let me leave you with this....... I will put you on my Church prayer list.
I agree. The preceding commenter evidently does not know that Jesus was actually not born on Christmas. The Church made that up to convert the pagan Yule and winter solstice holidays to Christianity. So in a way, they stole Yule from us.
I'm sure someone else has pointed out that it's "Promise Keepers," not "Promise Seekers." Ironically.
Actually, promise seekers exist as well.
Funny how the Puritans banned Christmas in both Old and New England, and Christmas wasn't a Federal holiday in America until 1870. | <urn:uuid:a76e56d2-7fc5-4cca-8f28-3b54cfa84826> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2009/11/22/let-the-war-on-christmas-being | 2019-11-21T12:58:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670821.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121125509-20191121153509-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.968438 | 7,713 | [

Post written by
Denali is an associate at General Catalyst where she co-leads Rough Draft Ventures, General Catalyst's student-focused venture program.
Last November, exactly six months after my college graduation, I got the dreaded “It’s-Time-To-Repay-Your-Student-Loans” text officially welcoming me to the next eight years of my life. Mine came from Great Lakes Borrowing Services, but 70% of the Class of 2016 received a similar text from a similar provider on a similar date, inaugurating us into a community of 44 million Americans that now owe a total $1.4 trillion and counting in student loans.
An eight-year payback period actually puts me on the fortunate end of the student loan spectrum; most of my peers will struggle to fit their average $37,172 of debt into the 10-year-repayment plan mandated by most providers. That math calls for ten years of $350 monthly payments. No wonder default rates are climbing.
The implications of graduating with student debt extend far beyond smaller paychecks and bedrooms in your twenties: So overwhelmed are my millennial peers that 30% of us aren’t contributing to our 401ks because we either: a) need the money to pay off our student loans; or b) just want to get this debt thing over with. In fact, half of student loan borrowers say they’re delaying saving for retirement until they pay off their loans, a strategy that leaves many borrowers poorer in the long-run.
Despite these staggering statistics, some students are not discouraged. Instead, they’re redirecting this energy into building innovative solutions for themselves and other borrowers.
Take Will Sealy, a recent graduate of the Yale School of Management, for example. Alongside his former classmate Paul Joo, a current Yale MBA and JD candidate, and product specialist Vincent Tran, Sealy started Simplifi, a startup that is building a much-needed platform to help student loan borrowers maximize their savings and reduce stress throughout the repayment process. Currently, most borrowers are on the hook for a confusing cocktail of federal loans issued by the U.S. Department of Education and private loans from financial institutions– each with different interest rates and terms, and each requiring repayment across an array of antiquated web portals with poor customer service that leave borrowers with more questions than answers. Simplifi’s sleek loan dashboard brings transparency and order to this convoluted and fragmented process.
Disclaimer: Rough Draft Ventures is an early investor in Simplifi.
“Millions of borrowers are struggling with student debt and there’s undoubtedly a need for better solutions and innovation in this space,” Sealy says. “Sadly the options are limited, but at Simplifi, our goal is to fundamentally change this overwhelmingly negative experience. As borrowers ourselves, we are committed to helping every one of our users better navigate the costly, complex repayment process so they can get out of debt as quickly as possible.”
Simplifi is just one in a crop of student-founded startups that aim to address the nation’s student loan crisis. In fact, the rise of FinTech products targeting student debt is perhaps the most glaring trend we’ve seen in the student startup ecosystem since starting Rough Draft Ventures, General Catalyst’s student-focused program backing founders at the university level, five years ago.
These companies can be categorized into three approaches: Borrower solutions (like Simplifi), lender solutions, and employer-benefit solutions.
These startups are traditional “personal finance” companies– mobile apps, online dashboards, automated savings tools, and resources for managing student debt. They help guide borrowers through the repayment process.
Dubbed the “401k for student loans,” these startups are building software and infrastructure tools for employers to contribute to their employees’ loans, cutting down loan balances and interest expenses.
Student loan repayment assistance is a quickly emerging employee benefit– only 3% of employers offered the incentive in 2016, a statistic that’s expected to grow to 10% in 2019. What’s more, 89% of employees say they’d stay with a company for at least five years if they if their employer helped them pay down their loans, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
More than 1.1 million Americans defaulted on their student loans last year and many could have been avoided simply through better communication. In fact, lenders that establish frequent communication with their borrowers are 95% more likely to see smooth repayment, according to Harvard-born startup PayDown. This crop of startups is taking a top-down approach and working with both public and private lenders to improve their communication with borrowers and management of student loans. | <urn:uuid:3a8a89db-8236-4b53-8e53-5a21029c6579> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.forbes.com/sites/roughdraftventures/2017/12/15/the-debt-is-too-damn-high/ | 2019-11-21T14:15:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670821.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121125509-20191121153509-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.951694 | 980 | [

Top-Grossing Digital Console, PC, and Mobile Games of July 2016 Revealed
Call of Duty leads the way on console.
Superdata today published its digital games revenue report for July 2016, revealing what it claims were the highest-grossing console, PC, and mobile games during the month on a global basis. With all areas combined, the worldwide digital games market grew 9.5 percent year-over-year, Superdata found.
As you can see in the chart below, Activision Blizzard games led the way on console and PC, with Call of Duty: Black Ops III (thanks in part to the release of its Descent map pack) and Overwatch coming out on top.
Pokemon Go player figures may be falling now, but Superdata reported that Pokemon Go had the "most successful mobile launch in history." While Pokemon Go is no longer sitting at the top of the iTunes "Free" chart as of August 23, it does remain No. 1 on the "Top Grossing" list, so it's definitely still pulling in money.
There were no specific dollar amounts provided for any games in the chart. Go to Superdata's blog for a deeper dive into the month's digital games revenue figures.

The Preemptive Care Series: Using Botox for Wrinkle Prevention
We all have an inherent desire to look and feel our best. Men and women alike have an ongoing pressure to preserve a youthful appearance as they age, which is why it’s so wonderful that there are a variety of anti-aging solutions available to the public. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the use of injectable treatments like Botox have spiked more than 40% in the past five years and a driving force of this increase comes from men and women at younger ages looking to try Botox. This brings to question, could Botox be used for preemptive care and prevent wrinkles from forming? The experts of Botox Pittsburgh at Sixth Street Dental Aesthetics are here to break it down for you.
How Does Botox Work?
A Baseline Understanding of Botox Pittsburgh
Botox is an injectable aesthetic treatment that is FDA-approved to reduce the signs of aging on the face by preventing wrinkles from deepening. Made of Botulinum toxin, Botox injections are added into muscle areas to block signals from reaching the nerves in the muscles. If the nerves are blocked, the injected muscle will not contract and form or worsen an existing wrinkle. Botox treatments take about 10-30 minutes per session and last anywhere from 3-6 months or more depending on the patients. Botox injections are not only effective at preventing wrinkles but Botox Pittsburgh is extremely safe and often comes with no complications.
Can Botox Be Used to Prevent Wrinkles Before they Form?
The Experts of Botox Pittsburgh Explain Preventative Botox
As people begin using Botox earlier and earlier, it raises the question as to whether or not Botox can be used for wrinkle prevention. In short, our answer is yes!
Wrinkles form due to repeated contraction of muscles that scrunch up the skin on your face. Where these wrinkles form is dependent on a variety of factors that change the way the face looks and acts, including:
- Patterns of Facial Movement
- Lifestyle Factors
In other words, some ethnic backgrounds are less likely to form wrinkles than others, genetics weigh heavily in the way you age, and lifestyle factors like a high-stress job can cause wrinkles to form more rapidly in your life.
Regardless of these factors, Botox can prevent wrinkles from forming by inhibiting muscle contraction that causes wrinkles in the first place. By injecting Botox into the forehead, for instance, the raising of your eyebrows will not lead to the formation of a wrinkle. This overall reduced the number of fine lines and wrinkles you have as you get older. Some worry that Botox dulls your ability to make facial expressions, but when done by an expert in Botox Pittsburgh, Botox can look extremely natural and yield great results in people of all ages.
How do I Know When to Start Preventative Botox?
Preventative Botox Tips from the Leaders of Botox Pittsburgh
While it’s clear through scientific facts and logic that Botox can be used for the prevention of wrinkles, some people struggle to figure out when the time is right to begin Botox treatments. At Sixth Street Dental - the experts of Botox Pittsburgh - we recommend that preventative Botox treatments begin as soon as you begin to see the formation of fine lines. These fine lines will typically form like smile lines, crows feet, and on your forehead. As we mentioned before, the age in which these lines begin to form varies from person to person and is heavily dependent on lifestyle factors. However, preventative Botox is typically used in people in their mid-to-late 20s or early 30s. For most people, they like to begin having a conversation about preventative Botox with a Botox Pittsburgh professional around the age of twenty-five.
Botox at an early age, however, involves experience and a great balance in the way treatment is done. Experience Botox providers know that it’s important to not over-do it in any patient, but especially in younger patients. Too much Botox not only can look unnatural but can tell your muscles they are not necessary too early, leading to a dependence on Botox. However, the proper balance will not only prevent wrinkles, but prevent them from forming over time so you need less Botox down the road. In the long run, this can save you money and maintain a naturally youthful look for longer.
This all can be a lot to take in, so take a look at these two paths to preventative Botox from Sixth Street Dental Aesthetics, a leader in Botox Pittsburgh:
- In your mid-twenties, begin consulting with an experienced Botox expert about using Botox. As an expert, your doctor will be able to assess when and where wrinkles might form on your face and suggest a course of treatment, which will often include micro-doses of Botox in targeted areas.
- If you find a fine line, get in touch with Sixth Street Dental Aesthetics. You’ll come into the office for a consultation where we’ll work with you to understand your aesthetic goals. From there, we’ll create a treatment plan - and even give you Botox that same day! Safe and fast, Botox could be the solution to a long-lasting youthful glow. | <urn:uuid:07d40a30-b0d4-419c-85ed-7c37a35231d3> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.sixthstreetdental.com/post/the-preemptive-care-series-using-botox-for-wrinkle-prevention | 2019-11-23T01:31:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496672313.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20191123005913-20191123034913-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.942286 | 1,105 | [

Did you know that cheese is the number one stolen food item in the world? Why is that? Actually, cheese gets stolen for a multitude of reasons.
Reasons Why Cheese Gets Stolen
The first reason why cheese gets stolen: it can be pricey, like $600 or more per pound pricey. In fact, one of the world’s most expensive cheeses is made from donkey milk and to make matters even worse it’s made from only 100 select donkeys and they produce only about 2.2lbs of cheese per day. Cheese is popular, people like cheese, popular cheese gets stolen. Plus, cheese can be very expensive and rare, and expensive, rare cheese can be attractive to thieves.
Another reason cheese gets stolen is that it can be incredibly hard to produce. Since cheese can spoil incredibly easily without the possibility of saving it, it must be made by absolute professionals that have the means to put the time and care into it that it requires. It also takes a substantial amount of products to produce a relatively small amount of cheese. Generally, it takes between 6 and 12 units of milk to produce 1 unit of cheese. For goats milk cheeses, the milk to cheese ratio is 6 to 1 because goat milk naturally has a higher fat content, but at the same ewes produce significantly less milk than a cow still making it hard to make large amounts of cheese without an even larger amount of milk.
Cheese is one of the most nutrient-rich foods around. It can contain twice the protein and a quarter the amount of cholesterol of eggs. A four-ounce piece of cheese can contain more than half the adult recommended value of protein, fat, calcium, and phosphorous. And to top it all off, during the cheese-making process bacteria and enzymes “predigest” the nutrients in cheese for us, making it easier for our bodies to digest sugar, fat, and proteins. Nutrient-rich foods like cheese make it attractive to selective thieves.
But maybe the biggest reason that cheese is so frequently stolen is that cheese makes us happy. It’s true, cheese has scientifically been proven to make people happy. And it all starts with tyrosine, which is an amino acid that can exist in high concentrations in cheese. Casein, milks primary protein, also comes into play. When we eat cheese, molecules of casein are broken down and digested releasing tyrosine into our bloodstream. The casein is broken down into a “feel-good chemical” called casomorphin, which is an opioid and likely accounts for the addictive properties of cheese. The tyrosine then reacts with an enzyme in our bodies then producing neurotransmitters such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine. Increasing blood flow, fighting depression, activating the brain’s reward system, and getting us addicted all with one little bite of cheese. That is pretty amazing if you ask me.
To sum it up, cheese gets stolen because cheese is expensive, cheese is hard to produce, cheese is nutrient-rich, and cheese makes us happy.
What cheese makes you happy?
What cheese would you be willing to steal?*
This blog post is part of “Let’s Talk Cheese: A Series”.
Cheese is one of my absolute favorite subjects when it comes to food. But why cheese? Is it because I love the science behind it, is it cause I love to eat it, maybe it’s the terroir’s effect on cheese (terroir is the French term for earth or soil and in regards to cheese, it’s referencing the environment around the milk-producing animal – the grazing grass, the soil composition, and even the humidity in the air – that will affect the final cheese results), or because there are nearly 1000 different kinds of cheese (with undeniably countless variations of each of those cheeses)? OR… maybe it’s all those reasons. I will be sharing all about cheese regularly on Park City Culinary Insitute’s blog. From science to varieties to mankind’s love of it, you’ll be able to learn about the wonders of cheese on the Park City Culinary Insitute blog.

In the Volvo family, I’m asking for the European car of the year 2018. The Volvo XC40 just started its career and is already famous.
What makes it so special ? At Road Rug Cars we were curious about it and as you know we need to drive to make our minds. So, when Volvo Canada gently gave us the chance to spend an entire week with a momentum XC40 we were pretty excited. Here’s our review.
Volvo XC40 from the outside!
Once again, no big surprise here, it’s still from the Volvo family and it’s actually a good point. However, it’s an all new car and it presents a lot of differences with the XC60 and XC90 we reviewed recently. First thing first, on the XC40 you can choose to have a contrasting roof, it’s a detail but it’s always nice to be able to customize a little bit your car.
The main difference resides in its dimensions. It’s much smaller compared to its two big brothers. With a 4.43m length and 1.65m height it’s definitely a city compact SUV. However, it’s still practical with a 460L boot and 5 seats (more 4+1 indeed).
One small detail that we particularly liked about the Volvo XC40 : the rear bumper is not painted on the Momentum version. It may appears cheap but in our opinion it’s actually looking good on this car and above all it’s really useful. Yes, this car is made for the city and as you know when you park in the street, a lot of dumbs drivers don’t know how to make a parallel and hit your bumpers which can damage your car and look terrible.
Thanks to the unpainted rear bumper this is not the case anymore. Well done. In addition of that, it gives the car a really cool adventurer look that reminds us the good old Volvo XC70 and the first Audi A6 Allroad
From the inside
The overall feeling is really similar to the other Volvos, same touchscreen to control all the car, same digital cockpit, same seats. However, this car is much more oriented towards the young generations than the XC90 or XC60.
It’s also a lot cheaper than its bigger counterparts and because of this, hard plastics are more present in the cabin. For example the glovebox looks quite cheap, the central tunnel is not really flattering neither. I guess that younger people looking for a nice small SUV don’t really care about these details. Unfortunately at Road Rug Cars we do.
On the positive side, there is a really accessible and useful station to charge your smartphone by induction and this is quite appreciable in a daily car. The quality of the assembly is good and the XC40 will probably age well.
Also the XC40 is truly confortable for 4 adults and this is quite a surprise for a compact SUV. However, the biggest surprise we had was on the road!
Behind the steering wheel
Urban area, it’s where the XC40 belong. It’s agile and the handling of the car is really good. It feels light and way more powerful than what one would expect. We have to mention that we had the T5 version which is the biggest engine you can have for the car.
Surprisingly the engine was powerful enough to have fun with the car. Even on the countryside roads. But why is it more fun than a XC90 which has more power?
The weight. Usually it’s where things start to go wrong. Luckily, this time it’s not the case. The Volvo XC40 weights only 1,684kgs. Good job!
So what’s inside this trendy SUV that makes it fun to drive?
Well, it’s animated by the 2.0L inline 4 cylinders. Yes, it’s the same as in the XC60 and XC90 expect that this one isn’t supercharged. It’s just turbocharged and therefore the engine develops “only” 250hp at 5,500rpms.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good engine. It has a good torque with 350nm and thanks to a drastic diet it’s 400kgs less than its big brothers.
The result is surprisingly polyvalent. It feels more powerful and responsive than the XC90 and XC60. At the end of the day, there is only 70hp less for 400kg less so the power/weight ratio is actually really close.
One of our complain about the XC90 was the gas consumption in the city, which was out of this world, this time we have to admit that the XC40 is effective. 8L/100kms on the highway. Just above 10L/100kms in the city, welcome in 2018!
The surprise for us really happened on the road. The car is actually quite fun (for a compact SUV), especially in dynamic mode which makes the suspensions harder, and the engine response stronger. Don’t fool yourself, It’s not a sport car in any mean, but you can take it out of your beautiful city and enjoy the drive.
The comportment on the road is excellent, the XC40 has a very limited body roll compared to others SUVs on the market. Therefore, it feels really safe and never surprises you. The brakes are strong which allow you to place the car with precision to take a tight turn. The car has a slight tendency to understeer when entering a turn but nothing alarming. The engine is really quiet even when you start to push the XC40. We would have appreciated an additional touch of character especially in dynamics where we could expect a nicer sound.
The XC40 is surprising in a lot of ways. Firstly, it’s the smallest and less powerful of all Volvo SUVs, but in our sense, it was the funniest to drive. Secondly, it’s actually big enough even for a small family. Thirdly its equipment is – once again with Volvo – perfect even if the one we had was the basic trim.
At the end of the day, it’s a really polyvalent SUV which is in our opinion design mainly for the city and oriented towards young professionals and small families.
As the SUV market is expanding continuously, we are sure that we will see more and more Volvos on the road in the coming years. The quality is really good for the money and it’s good to see that “new” players can disrupt a market where the premium SUVs were couple of years ago only offered by german automakers.
At this point, we can only hope for Polestar using its craftsmanship to create sport versions for each of the new Volvos. This would transform good cars in fun to drive cars.
#FunToDrive score : 72/100
This small SUV surprised us on the road with a good comportment. It’s also good looking and affordable, so what more can we ask for? A funnier car with a more expressive engine perhaps thanks to the Polestar touch would be awesome. Thanks for asking.
It’s now time for you to discover our “XC40” story at the top of our Instagram profile.
Keep it #FunToDrive. | <urn:uuid:ce7ce3dd-7560-49f3-83f3-8ad091bcf03d> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://roadrugcars.com/is-the-volvo-xc40-the-ultimate-urban-suv/ | 2021-02-27T22:03:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178359497.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227204637-20210227234637-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.965893 | 1,570 | [

I’m celebrating Michael Jackson’s birthday by sharing with you some of the fun stuff in my Michael Jackson collection.
The youth of today hear music via inferior-sounding MP3s. When I was a kid, we cut records out of the back of cereal boxes. I miss the warm sound cardboard provides.
Rub ’em here! Rub ’em there! Rub ’em EVERYWHERE! Ages 3 and Up
I should have wiped the shmutz off of this promotional paperweight before I took the picture. Oh well.
Trading cards are not for trading. They are for hoarding.
Promoting their sponsorship of The Jacksons’ Victory tour, Pepsi issued cans of the soft drink that came with the brothers’ autographs and a dismembered hand.
kid grown man doesn’t love pop-ups?
This duffle bag comforts me as only having Michael Jackson’s eyes staring at me while in a strange hotel room can.
No recuerdo nada de este.
kid grown man doesn’t love these slidey puzzle games?
Promotional-only remixes on vinyl, not cardboard
Michael’s cover of the classic “Smile” (not the Lily Allen song, but the one that goes “Smile though your heart is breaking”) was not released as a single, though it was pressed bearing this cover. Why is Michael dressed like Hitler?
The best part of my Michael Jackson collection is the music. Here are twenty of my favorites:

Compared with other plant groups, ferns do not comprise a large number of species in the British Isles, but a significant proportion are scarce. This may be because they have environmentally exacting requirements and are at their distribution limits within the British Isles, they are limited to a few sites, or there are changes in the climate in the shorter term relatively speaking, which has adversely affected population numbers. In addition, there are threats to the environment by direct and indirect effects of urbanisation, which are perhaps easier to appreciate on a daily basis.
Awareness of these issues has led to several groups and individuals within the society to undertake valuable monitoring of some of these species at a local or regional level, gathering information on the changes in plant populations and the potential viability of extant habitats. The BPS recognises the immense effort that has been undertaken to conduct these monitoring exercises and the wealth of diverse information held by various groups around the British Isles. Recent discussions in the BPS have led to the proposal that we should set up a co-ordination group under the general umbrella of the BPS conservation and recording officers, firstly to gather together all the information accumulated over the years, identifying individuals and groups undertaking such work along the way, and secondly to encourage and support further work, identifying needs for further monitoring and regions that have perhaps been neglected. Moreover the exercise is to recognise and encourage those individuals and groups undertaking such work and provide a forum with some of the following (in brief) objectives:
- Identify species and populations to monitor
- Identify individuals and groups around Britain undertaking monitoring.
- Collect and collate historical recording data.
- Identify areas where monitoring would be valuable.
- Recruit and support coordinators to implement local and national monitoring.
- Agree on the scale of monitoring: Nationally or specific known sites.
- Adapt, develop and publish robust and functional monitoring protocols for each species and/or site. (Ensuring the method will detect changes in attributes such as plant location and abundance, frond number, frond size and frond fertility).
- With the cumulative knowledge gained suggest appropriate monitoring intervals for a given species or population.
- Ongoing collection and interpretation
- Provide a forum to which monitoring projects are presented and subsequently published in recognition of all the individuals involved.
- Wider dissemination of data.
It is hoped that many individuals and local groups will become involved.
The first start up event is anticipated to be a workshop where amongst many things to discuss and share, including a session on documentation and mapping, the latter using a commonly available application.
We believe this is an excellent way for all interested and local groups to make a major contribution to the knowledge base on the effects of local and wider environmental changes on vulnerable fern species.
We look forward to hearing from you.

With so many ordinary Singaporeans on edge about the Covid-19 outbreak, it is hard to let out a cough in public nowadays without turning heads – for the wrong reasons. However, nothing compares with what the real heroes in this fight –healthcare workers – face each day.
There are have been recent reports of healthcare professionals being shunned or ostracised in public areas – which just doesn’t seem right.
As the Care To Go Beyond – Nursing Facebook page puts it, “For all their sacrifices (think cancelled planned leave and additional working hours), they definitely deserve better. Nurses are human beings too. If you see our nurses around, don’t forget to cheer them on with a word of thanks because it will go a long way in brightening their day.”
Besides saying a simple “thank you” to those you come across, here are some other ways you can make your voice heard for good.
With Valentine’s Day coming up, ground-up community group, StandUpFor.SG, wants to help spread words of encouragement to doctors and nurses. As part of #braveheartsg movement, they are asking people to express their appreciation to medical personnel through a simple note.
To do so, pen down a handwritten message and take a picture of it. After that, post it to social media with hashtag #braveheartsg. Photos can also be emailed to [email protected].
The folks at StandUpFor.SG will print out the notes and aims to deliver them, together with snacks and drinks, to medical service personnel on 14 February, Valentine’s Day.
“We want them to know that we are behind them. As they fight this coronavirus, we have their backs and we love them and care for them. So, let’s all come together and show them our support,” said the organisers.
Some community centres and residents’ community centres have also setup boards where people can write down their well wishes for healthcare workers as part of Total Defence Day, which falls on 15 February.
You can check with your nearby centre to find out if you can do so there. | <urn:uuid:44a05a10-f11a-4c46-99ad-07e5b3973d62> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.littledayout.com/braveheartsg-pen-a-handwritten-note-to-say-thank-you-to-healthcare-professionals/ | 2021-03-01T10:18:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362481.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301090526-20210301120526-00358.warc.gz | en | 0.95485 | 459 | [

30 Rock (season 5)
The fifth season of 30 Rock, an American television comedy series on the NBC network in the United States, began airing on September 23, 2010. NBC announced on March 5, 2010 that 30 Rock would be returning for a fifth season in the 2010–2011 television season. Beginning with episode 11, 30 Rock was moved to the 10:00 PM timeslot, but, as a consolation, was renewed earlier than the other NBC sitcoms. During this time, Tracy Morgan underwent an emergency operation, causing his character to be written out for several episodes.
On July 31, 2010, NBC announced that an episode of 30 Rock's fifth season would be filmed and broadcast live, twice, on the evening of October 14, 2010. The two separate recordings resulted in a live telecast of the episode to American viewers in both the West and East Coast. The episode was a ratings success and was met with very positive reviews. The season also featured the show's 100th episode, which aired as a one-hour episode.
Season 5 continues with Liz in a relationship with Carol (Matt Damon), a man she met in the episode "I Do Do", and Jack practicing to be and then being a father. Jack finally marries the woman he chose in "I Do Do", but an error in the wedding certificate leads to shocking results. Jack meets with Kabletown's boss, Hank Hooper (Ken Howard), who acts rather like Kenneth, and meets his competition in his granddaughter, Kaylee Hooper (Chloë Grace Moretz). Meanwhile, Tracy also becomes a father and finally gets an EGOT ("E" standing for "Emmy", "G" for "Grammy", "O" Oscar", and "T" for "Tony" ). However, the pressure of being an award-winning celebrity leads Tracy to nearly bring TGS to cancellation. With the help of Jenna, Kenneth tries to get back into the NBC Page Program. Tracy's wife, Angie, is given a reality show of her own, "Queen of Jordan", which was aired as an episode of 30 Rock. In the middle of the season, Jack and Avery's daughter is born, but a few episodes later, something happens in their relationship that separates them, possibly forever. Jenna continues her relationship with Paul. The Girlie Show with Tracy Jordan (TGS) celebrates its 100th episode.
Tina Fey portrays Liz Lemon, the head writer of a fictitious live sketch-comedy television series TGS. The TGS cast consists of two main actors. The lead actor is the loose cannon movie star Tracy Jordan, portrayed by Tracy Morgan. His co-star is the extremely narcissistic Jenna Maroney, portrayed by Jane Krakowski. Jack "Danny" Baker (Cheyenne Jackson) is the newest TGS cast member. Jack McBrayer plays the naïve NBC page Kenneth Parcell. Scott Adsit acts as the witty and wise TGS producer, Pete Hornberger. Judah Friedlander portrays trucker hat-wearing staff writer Frank Rossitano. Alec Baldwin plays the NBC network executive Jack Donaghy. Donaghy's full corporate title for the majority of the season is "Head of East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming". Keith Powell plays the Harvard University alumnus and TGS staff writer James "Toofer" Spurlock. Katrina Bowden acts as writers' assistant Cerie Xerox. Other cast members include, Maulik Pancholy as Jonathan, Grizz Chapman as Grizz Griswold, Kevin Brown as "Dot Com" Slattery, and John Lutz as J.D. Lutz. The cast also features recurring guest stars Elizabeth Banks, who stars as Avery Jessup, Jack's wife, and Matt Damon as Carol, Liz's pilot boyfriend. Banks was prominently featured throughout the season. Condoleezza Rice appeared as a fictional version of herself, an old girlfriend of Jack Donaghy.

The fifth season earned positive reviews from critics, a number of whom noted that it had staged a "comeback" after what they had considered a disappointing fourth season. Writing for HitFix, reviewer Alan Sepinwall noted his disappointment in the fourth season and opined that the fifth had "rebounded", commenting "there have been weeks [...] where 30 Rock made me laugh longer, louder and more frequently than not only every other NBC sitcom, but every comedy on TV". Sepinwall cited a tighter focus on its main characters, a happier Liz Lemon, smarter use of guest stars and a general improvement in quality as the reasons why the series had demonstrated such a turnaround. Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club expressed similar sentiments in regard to the fourth season, noting "the growing pains hit hard [...] the show devolved into self-parody". However he considered that "30 Rock found its footing in its fifth season [...] it has at least aged into a show that no longer feels such a desperate need to impress. For all its busyness, it feels a little more comfortable in its own skin". He also described the series as having "experienced a hell of a comeback" during its fifth season.
Francis Rizzo of DVD Talk was also positive about the season, commenting that "the joy of 30 Rock is the way it manages to keep surprising after years of following the same, relatively unchanging characters, thanks to writing that's frequently ridiculous and hilarious, and a cast that makes even the most over-the-top situation feel real, and thus even funnier".
Alec Baldwin, however, has said on several occasions that both he and the 30 Rock team in general felt that the writing in the fifth season was not up to the high standards of the previous four seasons. (Baldwin attributes this to inevitable burnout) For this reason, Alec Baldwin felt that the show should finish its run after the next - and last contracted - season. However, the sixth season ended up being so enjoyable - and the quality of the writing so spectacular - that Baldwin had a change of heart, and was prepared to commit for three more seasons (which would have brought the total to nine seasons). Instead, Tina Fey ended the show after the seventh season; according to Baldwin, she made the decision after having her second child.
The fifth-season premiere, "The Fabian Strategy", drew 5.9 million viewers, an increase from the previous episode, "I Do Do" (5.5 million), but a decrease on the fourth season premiere, "Season 4", which had drawn an audience of 6.4 million. The fourth episode of the season, "Live Show", aired live and demonstrated a turnaround, attracting a season high of 6.7 million viewers. This figure was the highest overall for NBC in the 8:30 p.m. Thursday timeslot for non-sports events since December 2009. Following NBC's decision to move 30 Rock to the later time of 10:00 p.m. for the second half of the season, ratings declined to beneath five million viewers per week, starting with the episode "Operation Righteous Cowboy Lightning". The penultimate episode of the season, "Everything Sunny All the Time Always" became the new lowest-rated episode of the series, with less than four million viewers tuned in. Previously, the fourth-season episode "Lee Marvin vs. Derek Jeter" had been the lowest-rated, with four million. The season finale, "Respawn", attracted 4.2 million viewers, and overall, the season averaged 5.3 million viewers, ranking one hundred and sixth for the year, according to Nielsen Media Research.
30 Rock season five was found to have added an average of 30 percent more viewers in the 18–49 demographic, when DVR plus seven day viewers were factored in. This is a measurement of the viewers who recorded the series and viewed it within seven days of broadcast. In all, the season added 1.4 million (28 percent) more total viewers when seven day results were factored in.
Awards and nominations
30 Rock season five received nine nominations at the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Fey, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Baldwin, Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for Krakowski, Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Elizabeth Banks, Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for both Matt Damon and Will Arnett, Writing, Directing, and the series' fifth consecutive nomination for Outstanding Comedy Series, although it did not win in any of these categories.
During the fall of 2010, the show aired at 8:30 p.m., after Community and before The Office on Thursdays. On November 15, 2010, it was announced 30 Rock would move to 10:00 p.m., following Parks and Recreation starting January 20, 2011 (the show's sixth season renewal was also announced along with this information). Episode 22 - "Everything Sunny All the Time Always" aired at the special time of Thursday at 10:30-11:00 (ET/PT), due to extended episodes of The Office and Parks and Recreation. | <urn:uuid:bf327402-f27e-4194-b850-7120ab95d76e> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://newikis.com/en/30_Rock_(season_5) | 2021-03-03T02:18:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178365186.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303012222-20210303042222-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.969725 | 3,542 | [

Johan Wildenboer wrote into the Hot 91.9 Christmas Wish to let us know that Mother Clause lives in Shoshanguve.
His close friend, Hester Oosthuizen is a school teacher at Medicos Special School in Soshanguve for mentally disabled children with special needs. She is the school’s woodwork and music teacher and an incredibly dedicated, passionate and talented teacher. Her woodwork workshop is not just a place of learning, but something she uses to give back to the community. Together with her students the create gifts for children at the school, not any old gift, but they fid out exactly what is needed for each child and create that, Often Hester does this at her own expense. Her whole workshop at the school looks like a picture from Santa’s workshop towards the end of the year. Nothing short of a miracle, indeed a Christmas wonder.
These children are disadvantaged with special needs and most of them are from very poor backgrounds. Her aim is to make a difference in the lives of each and every child in her school. Not only through her teaching and skills transfer, but because she cares so much and loves the children unconditionally.
Her workshop at the school is not nearly properly equipped. The machines, tools and equipment are old and run down. The school has very little funds to repair, fix or buy anything new. Her workshop is a learning and training centre for these children with special needs. She teaches them how to do something practical so that they can find a job when they leave school or so they have a skill set to be self-sufficient.
Hot Cares together with gold Reef City have purchased workshop items to the value of R100,000.00.
Hester was unfortunately away and we invited Principal Constance and HOD Jappie of Medicos Special School to the Gold Reef City Hot 91.9 FM studio to receive the Wish. | <urn:uuid:826a5f87-dc9c-4ae7-bfaf-95f0e51602db> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.hot919.co.za/category/christmas-wish-2019/ | 2021-03-03T01:33:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178365186.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303012222-20210303042222-00038.warc.gz | en | 0.972387 | 392 | [

The Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies* today announced the results of an Ethicon** clinical study showing that its LINX Reflux Management Systemopen, a small band of magnetic beads that surgeons wrap around the esophagus to treat gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), was significantly more effective in relieving symptoms and improving quality of life than taking twice-daily acid suppression drugs.
The CALIBER study, the first randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the anti-reflux procedure to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), the standard of medical care for GERD treatment, was published in GIE: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, the peer-reviewed journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).
According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK),open_in_new about 20 percent of the U.S. population suffers from GERD, whose primary symptoms include chronic heartburn and persistent regurgitation.
In the CALIBER study, patients with GERD and moderate-to-severe regurgitation despite eight weeks of treatment with once-daily omeprazole, were randomized to either receive twice-daily doses of the PPI or undergo a minimally invasive procedure with the LINX System. The study found:
• 89% of patients treated with LINX achieved relief from moderate to severe regurgitation compared to 10% of patients treated with twice-daily omeprazole (p<0.001)
• 81% of patients treated with LINX achieved >50% improvement in GERD-HRQL score (a quality of life measure) compared to 8% of patients treated with twice-daily omeprazole (p<0.001)
• Normal number of reflux episodes was observed in 91% of patients treated with LINX compared to 58% of twice-daily omeprazole (p<0.001)
• 81% of patients treated with LINX reported satisfaction with their current condition versus 2% of patients treated with twice-daily omeprazole
The LINX System works by correcting a mechanical failure in the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the body’s natural barrier to reflux. The magnetic band expands when a patient swallows to allow food to enter the stomach but then contracts to prevent stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus.
“It is sometimes said that GERD patients who don’t respond to medication will not do well with surgery. This study demonstrated that patients experiencing regurgitation despite proton-pump inhibitor therapy actually did extremely well with an anti-reflux procedure, magnetic sphincter augmentation, using the LINX device. When the physiology of GERD is recognized – that it is due to a mechanical defect in the sphincter – it makes sense that patients would indeed respond to the procedure,” said Reginald C. W. Bell, MD, FACS,τ study co-author and a gastrointestinal surgeon at Institute of Esophageal and Reflux Surgery in Englewood, CO.
“This study demonstrates the LINX System offers significant advantages over medical therapy in patients with GERD who suffer with regurgitation,” said Michael del Prado, Ethicon Company Group Chairman. “Ethicon will continue to generate clinical and real-world evidence that enables clinicians, patients, insurers and health systems to make the best possible decisions about which treatments work best for which patients.”
The LINX System is an effective treatment option that preserves gastric anatomy, establishes normal physiological function, and is reversible. The LINX System is available in the U.S. and throughout Europe.
The LINX Reflux Management System is indicated for those patients diagnosed with GERD as defined by abnormal pH testing, and who are seeking an alternative to continuous acid suppression therapy. LINX requires a surgical procedure and is associated with potential risks, contraindications and life style modifications.

Being wealthy in the Middle Ages was not all benefits: Wealthy people were more exposed to the toxic heavy metal lead than the poor.
"Lead poisoning can be the consequence when ingesting lead, which is a heavy metal. In the Middle Ages you could almost not avoid ingesting lead, if you were wealthy or living in an urban environment. But what is perhaps more severe, is the fact that exposure to lead leads to lower intelligence of children", says Associate Professor Kaare Lund Rasmussen, Department of Physics and Chemistry, University of Southern Denmark (SDU).
Together with colleagues Rasmussen has published a series of chemical and anthropological analyzes of 207 skeletons from six cemeteries in northern Germany and Denmark. The paper is published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports. The work was performed in collaboration with other SDU scientists: Professor Jesper Lie Boldsen from the Institute of Forensic Medicine and postdoc Lilian Skytte and Ph.D. student Anne Juul Jensen from the research group CHART at Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy.
Practical, beautiful -- and poisonous
"There really is a big difference in how much lead, the individuals from the cemeteries had in their bodies. This depended on whether they lived in the country or in a town. We see almost no lead in the bones from rural individuals, while the levels of this toxic metal were high in urban individuals", says Rasmussen.
In the Middle Ages wealthy Danes and Germans mainly lived in towns, while the rural population was generally poorer and more isolated. The wealthy could afford to eat and drink of glazed pottery, and this was the main source of lead poisoning.
"In those days lead oxide was used to glaze pottery. It was practical to clean the plates and looked beautiful, so it was understandably in high demand. But when they kept salty and acidic foods in glazed pots, the surface of the glaze would dissolve and the lead would leak into the food", says Rasmussen.
In the country, glazed pottery was seemingly used more rarely. And even if you had the money, it would have been more difficult to get by. Instead, the country people used unglazed pottery and thus unknowingly saved themselves from exposure to the toxic lead.
Glazed pottery was not the only source of lead in the towns. Lead was also present in coins, stained glass windows and lead tiles on the roofs of important buildings. Drinkingwater was often collected from the roof, and this may also have been an important source of lead.
Rasmussen studied skeletons from six cemeteries.
The cemeteries in Rathaus Markt in Schleswig (Germany) and Ole Worms Gade in Horsens (Denmark) are both situated on the coast and people buried here were from medieval towns that were more wealthy and more in contact with the outside world than most rural population.
The rural population was represented by cemeteries in St. Clements outside of Schleswig (Germany), Tirup outside of Horsens (Denmark), Nybøl in Jutland (Denmark) and St. Alberts Chapel on the island of Ærø (Denmark).
"The exposure was higher and more dangerous in the urban communities, but lead was not completely unknown in the country. We saw that 30 pct. of the rural individuals had been in contact with lead -- although much less than the townspeople."
There were different levels of exposure in the towns. 19 pct. (10 individuals) from the cemetery in Rathaus Markt had lead levels above normal. In Horsens all 25 individuals had levels above normal.
Mercury was given as medicine
The research team also tested the skeletons for their content of mercury. Mercury was used to prepare the color cinnabar, for gilding and as medicine against leprosy and syphilis.
The results of the measurements show that the urban population was more exposed to mercury than the rural population. Mercury was administered to treat especially leprosy, which almost half of the individuals in the study suffered from.

About lead poisoning Lead is a toxic heavy metal that accumulates in the human body, affecting the nervous system. Since children's nervous system is still developing, children are particularly sensitive, and their learning ability and intelligence may be affected. Lead was also a commonly used material in the Roman Empire, and several historians believe that widespread lead poisoning among the rulers may have played a role in the fall of the Roman Empire. | <urn:uuid:a60d1cf1-6aaa-4f5b-88d9-237716e1471c> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://baotanglichsu.vn/en/Articles/3187/18721/being-rich-in-the-middle-ages-led-to-an-unhealthy-life.html | 2021-02-26T12:03:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178357641.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226115116-20210226145116-00078.warc.gz | en | 0.975866 | 1,073 | [

Closed Bug 500284 Opened 12 years ago Closed 12 years ago
Middle-clicking roots of threads might cause the thread tree to jump a bit
STR: 1. Make sure you're running with the patch in bug 467768. 2. Scroll down to the bottom. 3. Make sure that one of the messages near the bottom is the root of a thread (best seen if the thread has ~5-6 messages). I can see this with both collapsed and expanded threads. 4. Middle-click this message. The thread jumps up a bit -- my suspicion is that we're going wrong somewhere in our calculation of how far we are from the bottom.
Applies over the patch from bug 467768.

Transition and Transfer in Germany and South Korea
Edited By Eun-Jeung Lee and Hannes B. Mosler
The Pressure of “Dual De-institutionalization” and the Institutionalized Response of Social Movements in Korea
In this essay, the author illuminates the efforts of South Korean civil society organizations to establish various think tanks after democratization. It is explained as a way to go beyond the role of previous organizations that “only” provided critical surveillance, to develop policy alternatives and to participate in policy building processes. The study focuses on examining how the citizens’ movement deals with dual de-institutionalization pressure, that which comes from both the top by the government and from the bottom by the citizens.
The purpose and action of Korean citizens’ movement have been deeply related to “institutionalization” for about 20 years since 1987. There have been serious conflicts about the details, speed, and direction of democratization in Korea and in many cases, the conflicts have changed into “institutional reform.” Sometimes, “the institutional reform from the above” led by the president, the government and the ruling party has been overwhelming. On the other hand, there was a strong desire for the institutional reform which became the core of social movement (Hong 2007). In this process, the citizens’ movement was bureaucratized and specialized to be accepted as a part of the social institution. Diverse methods of the citizens’ movement have become more moderate and common and have been incorporated into a part of the usual political process. In their book, Meyer and Tarrow say that the social movement existed in contemporary life and that the movement became a daily occurrence by being included in the institutional and political sector...

Today, exactly one year ago, my good friend Emma married her dashing husband Stuart at Eshott Hall, Northumberland. We had a wonderful time celebrating with the newlyweds and it seems like the last year has gone by in the blink of an eye.
It’s a bittersweet memory as we returned home to find Marmalade missing, but we wouldn’t have missed it for the world. Unfortunately we were so caught up in the celebrations that we didn’t take many pictures of the day itself, but we took lots of the venue.
Eshott Hall is a gorgeous country house with high ceilings and tastefully decorated rooms – like something out of a Jane Austen novel – and the grounds are extensive and well matched to the idyllic rural setting. It’s also within easy reach by car of Morpeth town centre for local amenities. It’s a perfect breakaway from the hustle and bustle of city life.
Here are slightly more than a few of our pictures – enjoy 🙂

Stefan Hantel, aka Shantel, is a DJ and producer best known for his Balkan electro-pop project Bucovina Club. Max Dax spoke with the Frankfurt native in the Summer 2011 issue of Electronic Beats about his meticulously researched compilation of American Jewish mafia music, Kosher Nostra.
There has always been a nebulous relationship between the representation of La Cosa Nostra in the American literary and cinematic traditions and its reality. The romanticism at the core of our image of organized crime is, in a sense, misleading. But it’s also undeniable that the history of the Mafia is nebulous in and of itself, because it’s a history of immigrant subcultures—strangers in a strange land trying to survive. Certainly, the Mafia is a brilliant backdrop for the explanation of the American Dream, and a subject matter that director Martin Scorsese has a deep understanding of. The historical beginnings of American gang activity is at the center of 2002’s Gangs of New York, while Scorsese’s other films, including Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Casino and The Departed, reverse the focus, observing organized crime in the context of specific moments in American history. In both instances however, finding accurate or even any sources on which to base his semi-historical narratives was supposedly not a simple undertaking. That said, fiction has often been integral to the construction of national myths and national identity, and this is where Scorsese’s strengths lie as a director. I would argue that our collective vision of La Cosa Nostra has, over time, been strongly influenced by Scorsese’s hyperreal narrative vision—both historical and imagined. Not that it’s always easy to tell the difference.
With Boardwalk Empire, Scorsese has created a masterpiece together with former Sopranos writer and executive producer Terence Winter, whose knowledge of New Jersey and ability to surprise viewers with a contemporary take on “historical” events is nothing short of astonishing. This is the kind of historical Mafia storytelling I can relate to. When I was doing research for my project Kosher Nostra about the history and music of Jewish-American organized crime, I quickly found out how difficult it was to find information on the subject matter. Contemporary witnesses simply weren’t very willing to talk, and I really had to do some digging. To a certain extent, I was used to the research, as I had written my masters thesis on the Mafia. But now my intended result was an album, booklet and exhibit—not an academic work. What I was doing was not only historical but also, if not primarily, artistic and entertaining. I suppose that’s usually the case when it comes to tales of crime and intrigue.
And that’s one of the reasons why I am so fascinated by Boardwalk Empire. The show’s vivid take on the twenties and thirties is almost vulgar in its hyperreality, fully committing to a detailed vision of “how things were”. The focus in the first three seasons is not only organized crime in Atlantic City before the Great Depression, but also the Mafia’s relationship to American politics—and specifically to former political boss Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, played masterfully by Steve Buscemi and based on the historical figure Enoch L. Johnson. The series follows Nucky’s relationships to various underworld types and state and federal government agencies, painting a broad picture of the interconnectedness of these spheres of influence, as driven by Prohibition and corruption. Without a bedrock of morality, every character not only appears flawed, but is also constantly sidestepping an existential abyss of human evil in the byzantine political-criminal network—from the self-castigating, ultra-Protestant FBI agent Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon) to Nucky’s former mistress Lucy Danziger (Paz de la Huerta). In Boardwalk Empire, everyone’s guilty and all webs are intertwined.
As Greil Marcus famously argued, there are two kinds of significant historical narratives, particularly in America: official history writing and oral history. Boardwalk Empire is an excellent example of the intertwining of both, with the dialogue intimately portraying the thoughts and feelings of gangsters real, imagined and composite—not unlike William S. Burroughs creative interpretation of Dutch Schultz in the closet screenplay The Last Words of Dutch Schultz. While researching for Kosher Nostra, I conducted numerous interviews with Meyer Lansky’s driver to gain some insight into the gang- ster’s personal life. And even though much of the information couldn’t be independently con- firmed, his stories and highly subjective perspective was the closest I could get to the source itself; and specifically to finding out about the songs that Lansky liked to listen to while in the car. Like The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire is an important step forward in the evolution of Mafia narrative, because with every season, it delves further into the psychohistory of the American dream. ~

A teacher from Agusan del Sur has devised a unique recitation method for his online classes — by asking his students to wear blindfolds.
Instructor Kerwin Membrado said he was inspired by the Sandra Bullock movie Birdbox, which he rewatched on Monday night. The Netflix-produced dystopian film is about a woman and her children who seek shelter with their eyes blindfolded, in order to protect themselves from a mysterious force.
Membrado, 22, told his students at Saint Francis Xavier College the next day that they had to recite with their eyes blindfolded during their online classes. The announcement left the teenagers completely shookt.
“It is through blindfolding them that I can assure the reliability of their performance. The task was to recite the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) with 7 domains and 37 strands,” he told Coconuts Manila.
The PPST, according to the Department of Education, seeks to establish “well-defined career stages” for public school teachers. It also wants teachers “to actively embrace a continuing effort in attaining proficiency” while applying a “uniform measure” to assess their performance in the classroom.
Membrado said that the recitation was a “success.”
“Throughout the recitation period, I found that some are anxious, some are relaxed. But most of them had a good performance. I was surprised that our learners today are ready to take on different surprises and challenges to meet the demand of our time,” he said.
He said that he might repeat the same method in the future.
“Teachers in this time of pandemic should be very creative so that all lessons are exciting [for the students],” he said.
Filipino schools have been conducting distance-learning classes since the start of the pandemic because President Rodrigo Duterte has prohibited face-to-face sessions unless a COVID-19 vaccine becomes available. The government, which is still waiting for the delivery of vaccines, has yet to start its inoculation program, unlike neighboring countries Indonesia and Singapore.
So, what do you think of this teaching method? Tell us by leaving a comment below or tweeting to @CoconutsManila.

There is also not just one X-Factor or Zone Ability for an offensive lineman in the game, which is insane considering how essential they are to any NFL crime (just ask the Colts and Andrew Luck how that is working out to them). If defensive linemen can get things like Fearmongerer and Unstoppable Force, then offensive hog mollies such as David Bakhtiari, Matt Paradis or even Queonton Nelson might have gotten something in this new attribute.
That all said, the sense of player movement has been largely improved over this past year. Evasion moves are easier to pull off but don’t inherently feel overpowered. And as much as players have been vocal about it, the new system of player ratings is a welcome change. Coupled with X-Factors and Zone Abilities, elite players do stand out as big playmakers, but Madden’s issues with cartoons and AI continue to show that the show has a long way to go before bringing it all together in a completely acceptable package.
In-game presentation is largely unchanged as well. Pre-game, halftime and post-game all essentially feel as a lacking copy-and-paste from previous decades. The new score insect can be just downright horrible and obtrusive and is unlike anything you would find on any given Sunday. Some participant face and body likenesses can also be wildly inaccurate when looked at up close to buy Madden NFL 20 Coins (i.e. Panthers tight end Greg Olsen), and tight shoulder pads are also an odd sight on players such as Mahomes. Lighting has been improved again this year, though and some stunning scene shots stayed as well. | <urn:uuid:05cc2ce7-6ab7-4287-9769-388460ecf323> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.webnewswire.com/2019/09/07/the-new-score-insect-can-be-just-downright/ | 2021-02-25T05:04:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350717.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225041034-20210225071034-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.971158 | 476 | [

Colin Kaepernick has a lot to say about racism in the United States.
The sixth-year quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers made national headlines after Friday's pre-season exhibition game against the Green Bay Packers for sitting down during the national anthem.
In the two times that he's addressed the media since his protest, he has very carefully and methodically explained his actions.
After Friday's game against the Packers, he told NFL.com's Steve Wyche exactly why he didn't stand for the national anthem.
"I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick said. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
And then on Sunday, after sports pundits and outraged fans had time to make their disagreements public, he reiterated his intentions. "To me, I feel like this is something that has to change," he said. "When I feel like there's significant change and that flag represents what it's supposed to represent and this country is representing people that way that it's supposed to, I'll stand."
Kaepernick also explained that his refusal to stand was not meant as a sign of disrespect to people who've served in this nation's armed forces, but rather a challenge to make sure that those sacrifices were not made in vein.
Kaepernick's protest has become the talk of sports media, even earning the bizarre endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
But there is something deeply ironic about the criticism of Kaepernick. Not long ago, Kaepernick was known as the "man of few words," an enigmatic player who refused to speak at length to media.
In one memorable instance, frustrated reporters actually counted the number of words he used in a press conference: 87. That type of back-and-forth earned him a reputation for being standoffish and an embarrassment.
He was even mocked by fans for his responses to the media.
"Since taking over as the 49ers' starter last year, the 'Turlock Tornado' has been as tight-lipped as... well, as tight-lipped as Jim Harbaugh," Saracevic wrote. "Short, non-descript answers are the norm. And, it's a shame. The guy has a fabulous personality — one that he's chosen to shield from the world."
Sports analyst Colin Cowherd, who's long criticized Kaepernick for not speaking and looking like traditional (i.e. black) quarterbacks, even went so far as to say that Kaepernick "is not a grown up" for not speaking eloquently in news conferences. He went on, "I watch Colin Kaepernick... no self-awareness."
There's arguably few things more grown up than risking your livelihood for the belief that black people people of color should have the right to live safely in their communities.
Now, so-called fans are burning their Kaepernick jerseys because they don't like what he has to say about racism in the United States. They want him to shut up and play football.
We can't have it both ways. Either we want to hear what Kaepernick — a politically astute black man who happens to play football for a living — has to say, or we don't. For every person who's publicly criticized Kaepernick's recent protests, there have been plenty of who've embraced him because of it:
Athletes can be more than the public platforms upon which they stand. They have power to bring attention to the struggle for justice like few others in our culture. If nothing else, Kaepernick is showing the world just how powerful his voice is — and there are plenty of people who are eager to listen. | <urn:uuid:8a097787-0822-4114-a3fb-2c0123acd535> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.mic.com/articles/152935/colin-kaepernick-was-criticized-for-not-speaking-publicly-now-he-s-facing-backlash-for-it | 2021-02-26T16:50:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178357929.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226145416-20210226175416-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.984551 | 776 | [

The Singapore Management University (SMU) has reportedly announced to have commenced the construction of a five-story green building at Stamford Road that will support hands-on learning for its students and cultivate entrepreneurship and innovation at the university.
As per trusted sources, the construction is being funded by a donation from a philanthropic organization, Tahir Foundation, and a grant from the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) under the Public-Sector Construction Productivity Fund. Reportedly, the building has been named as the Tahir Foundation Connexion in appreciation of the organization’s contribution. The SGD 70 million development would facilitate the university’s SMU-X program that was launched in 2015, cite sources.
According to a press release issued by the SMU, the university’s SMU-X pedagogy is designed to focus on experiential learning through real-world projects by providing students with next-gen learning facilities that boast of future adaptability and flexibility. Reportedly, the new green building would include student lounges, integrated learning studios, collaborative zones, brainstorming hubs, and active learning classrooms.
Moreover, an incubation space of about 500 sqm would be set aside for startups to provide SMU students and alumni with an environment that fosters entrepreneurship and innovation. Reportedly, the incubation space would be able to accommodate around 80 startups each year.
Sources familiar with the development claim that the Tahir Foundation Connexion would be the first on-site net zero energy building in the city center. The green building is self-sustainable as it generates its own electricity and has been designed to meet the BCA’s Green Mark Platinum certification.
While speaking on the occasion of the ground-breaking ceremony, Singapore’s Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for National Development, Desmond Lee was reportedly quoted stating that the completion of the building would be a significant event in the nation’s goal of constructing low energy or zero energy buildings.
The construction of the building is expected to be completed by the end of 2019, cite reliable sources. | <urn:uuid:572f536c-c01e-47ec-99a1-3cf7724314bd> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://constructioncu.com/construct-sgd-green-building/ | 2021-03-01T19:39:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362899.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301182445-20210301212445-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.955904 | 431 | [

One of the most important characteristics of the EDIworld is the ease of processing information that’s shared once it’s collected. This is explained in part, thanks to the homogenization of information and the use of a standard format that allows information and documents to be exchanged. For example, in the retail sector, the regulatory system allows users to send a catalog of products, manage an order or process a payment notification or invoice.
Technological implantation in retail EDI
EDI is widely used in the distribution world and in comparison to other sectors, this sector has the greatest implantation of data interchange technology for managing commercial documents or sending data electronically. The reason is that companies that use retail EDI manage a large number of commercial transactions, which are a major part of businesses and companies where the public generally goes.
Supermarkets and shopping malls are just some of the businesses that collaborate to sell and move large quantities of stock. In practice, this means there’s a high volume of operations that add to the interchange of B2B processes (stock management, type of articles, order processing, shipments to suppliers, etc.) in the supply chain. The usual flow of EDI between distributors and suppliers like orders and invoicing is not enough for multinational companies. Why not take advantage of it to the maximum? Make EDI profitable to optimize business.
There are other types of messages from lesser-known chains such as PRICAT, DESADV, REMADV, RECADV or RETANN, among others, which have the advantage of optimizing and making communications more efficient between distributors and suppliers. What’s more is that these EDI messages offer great benefits to both sides of the B2B chain. Once an EDI solution has been implemented, it’s easier to incorporate messages and take advantage of cost reductions thanks to greater efficiency and security in the automation and integration of processes such as receiving orders as well as operations (sending an invoice, payment notifications, or the reception of an order or a catalog of products, etc.).
What other EDI messages enrich the flow of communications?
DESADV: this EDI message is also known by the name of ASN, two acronyms that refer to Advanced Shipped Notice and Dispatch Advice. They refer to dispatch notice and shipping notice respectively. This EDI solution has great advantages for distributors and providers. For example, DESADV allows users to verify the merchandise sent by the supplier and to know all the details of the order.
At the same time, the anticipation of the shipping notice allows for broad traceability, facilitating loading and unloading tasks, and includes valuable information such as packing numbers, product expiration dates or the configuration of pallet products. In short, thanks to the use of DESADV, all operations are automated and delivery management is improved due to streamlining receptions and shipping processes.
As previously mentioned, there is a need to manage stocks and the large number of company products dedicated to retail EDI. Thanks to PRICAT, any manufacturer can inform its suppliers about its catalog of products in real time in addition to reporting data such as characteristics, references, logistical details, etc.
REMADV is an EDI document that a company issues to its suppliers to notify them of a payment document or an invoice request. In short, REMAV (Remittance Advice Message) is a type of payment notice that gives information about a payment, how much money will be paid and best of all when the money will be paid.
As with the EDI DESADV message, the RECADV document is the most widely known and used. Basically, this message is utilized in the EDI distribution sector to confirm to manufacturers when an order has arrived. This reduces expenses by avoiding rejections when paying invoices.
ORDERS RESPONSE. The Order Response message provides the ability for a supplier to respond to an order previously sent by the buyer.
Finally, there are other EDI messages such as RETANN and RETINS that improve communication between the manufacturer and the supplier by reporting any differences and any problems with the orders or merchandise sent. RETANN means announcement of returns and is translated as a return notice. Something similar happens with the EDI retail RETINS (Instruction for returns) message or return shipping.
In short, the use of EDI messages improve supply chain communications, automate processes and reduce operational errors by reporting valuable data such as the traceability of goods, an invoice payment and a delivery notice. In summary, EDI tools are essential for B2B operations, especially in retail EDI.

Given increasing size and complexity of global supply chains leads to market outcomes, answering these questions is, however, not straightforward but rather requires careful economic modelling of supply chains and rigorous empirical analysis. This is exactly what will be done in this project.
More concretely, we focus on two potential concerns that may arise when trade is organized along global supply chains and that consumers or firms may view as leading to “unfair” production. The first concern is that supply chains may transmit economic shocks across countries and thereby increase income and employment risks. In fact, there is some evidence suggesting that supply chains may shift such risks from rich to poor countries that are much less able to protect their citizens.
The second concern arises from the fact that many global supply chains are dominated by powerful buyers, often large multinational enterprises. It is feared that this imbalance in bargaining power may reduce incentives to invest in innovation or clean technology especially for suppliers located in developing countries. If so, what does this imply for the ability of developing countries to move up the value chain by moving into higher value-added production stages, and ultimately for the wages earned by workers? | <urn:uuid:77d43f6f-3b58-4e90-8a78-70cc2148e18e> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.kcg-kiel.org/projects/project-3/ | 2021-03-03T11:33:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178366959.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303104028-20210303134028-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.965074 | 228 | [

We have our own raw materials base in Altai. The lake is assigned to us for 15 years;
• Supply volume: 20 tons per year;
• Water content: less than 8%;
• Hatching: more than 80% in 24 hours;
• 200,000 nauplii in a gram;
• Protein: more than 50%;
• Fat: 12%;
• High heat resistance degree;
• Delivery of products in cans or vacuum foil bags per 0.5 kg each;
• The radioactivity, heavy metals and bacterial contamination are within the range of tight standards of the Russian Federation. There are no viruses;
• Our products are 30-40% cheaper than the American ones, but they are not inferior to them in quality. We offer the optimal ratio of price and quality, that’s why our products are more preferable. In addition, the Siberian Artemia cysts are characterized by increased metabolic energy compared to the American ones. This is facilitated by a sharp continental climate (harsh winters and hot summers)
Recently, we have been actively developing the production of dietary supplements based on Artemia cysts. We have developed our own extraction method, which allows us to carefully extract the labile hydrophilic and lipophilic components of biologically active complexes from our initial raw materials.
The effect of our dietary supplements is determined by the action of the substances contained in them, namely: macro- and microelements, vitamins, amino acids (including essential ones), chitin, adaptive and growth hormones, lipids (mainly triglycerides, polyunsaturated fatty acids omega-3 and omega-6).
The physiological need for vitamins and minerals is supplemented in addition to the diet due to the optimal content of macro- and microelements, as well as vitamins, which are important factors in metabolic processes.
The amino acids contained in the product, including the essential ones, are important for good nutrition and provide the optimal maintenance and restoration of disturbed protein metabolism in the body (as a result of stress, various diets, physical activity, etc.).
The presence of PUFAs omega-3 and omega-6 adaptive and growth hormones in Artemia salina contributes to the proper growth and development of the body.
Chitin contained in the product has sorbing properties, helping to remove toxins and wastes from the body. Chitin possesses a protective property, which manifests itself in the inhibition of the cancer cell growth, accelerates the healing of wounds and promotes the digestion.
Polyunsaturated omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids significantly reduce the risk factors for the development of heart diseases, including hypertension and atherosclerosis, by normalizing the lipid metabolism in the body. It should be noted that they have a beneficial effect on the normal functioning of the nervous system (vision, mental abilities, memory).
Since the product is a balanced healthy food, it can be used both for prevention and in complex treatment as an additional means.
The antioxidants contained in Artemia salina — PUFAs omega-3 and omega-6 — have an anti-aging effect, protecting the body from toxins, harmful effects and premature aging.
The use of a balanced food product Artemia salina in the form of a dietary supplement — PUFAs omega-3 and omega-6 is effective in the prevention of diseases of many organs and systems of the body, especially heart diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and metabolic disorders, as an additional means in chemo- and radiation therapy for cancer. The product is an integral part of diets and weight management.
Main Indications for Use:
• Prevention of cancer;
• As a prevention means, as well as in the complex treatment of gastrointestinal diseases;
• Prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases;
• Vision improvement;
• Memory function improvement;
• Normalization of lipid and protein metabolism;
• As a general strengthening means;
• Increased fatigue;
• As a vitamin and mineral supplement for athletes;
• Restoration of lipid and protein metabolism;
• Reduced immunity function;
• Slow healing of wounds and ulcers;
• Anemia and general exhaustion;
• Infectious diseases. | <urn:uuid:f49e3a65-9324-4430-8e84-0cc26513dc65> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://en.artemia-cysts-russia.com/advantages/ | 2021-03-06T17:43:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178375274.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306162308-20210306192308-00118.warc.gz | en | 0.920967 | 855 | [

Published Jun 07, 2012Something about the nature of home and how the individual defines it speaks to their culture and sense of self. Typically, the notion of home is where one was raised and shaped by family and community, but as these shorts establish, not all tradition is universal and not all lives are shaped with the same ease.
The Seamstress posits itself as a carefree animation about the female effort to mend the world and fragile bodies of wear and tear. But as it presses forward, a gender divide takes over as a war veteran tears his stitches out, resorting to destruction as a mode of identity.
It's far more intriguing viewing than experimental Thai short Passing Through the Night, which seemingly celebrates the role of mother in as oblique a method as is possible.
We May Meet, We May Not again touches on the role of mother in the family unit, using pencil drawings to animate the maternal protective instinct turned inside out once her child grows old enough to be independent.
Clever and incisive, it transcends the annoying and insulting short Dol, where a homosexual Korean goes to a family function and watches a bunch of people make asses out of themselves over a baby and feels envious rather than piteous. This short sadly just reinforces the notion that all gays want to assimilate and be straight or heteronormative, which hasn't yet reached the cultural lexicon as offensive in a Cosby Show sort of way.
Unwieldy Beast features a busker that invented a piano bicycle talking about his inspiration. He wears sunglasses indoors, which says a lot in itself. Jumping back into animation, Walkin' on Snow Grass tells the moving story of a dormouse that learns the valuable lesson of friendship, noting that while our footprints may disappear from the world, our memories remain with us always.
This brief animation is more profound than the clichéd Newfoundland grief short that embarrassingly defines itself as a Dogme '95 film, Last of the Snow. Here, an emaciated hipster exploits a homely local child to get his depressed wife to come out and play in what little snow is left.
More profound is the disturbing Denmark/Germany coproduction, Seven Years of Winter, where a young boy is used by identity thieves to gather old passports and documents from a radiated Chernobyl. Hinting at greater political and personal tragedy, this one keeps the brain working after the credits role.
Also touching is the brief experimental mixed media short Places Other People Have Lived, where each room of a family house is examined then and now to reflect on the fleeting nature of childhood and family. | <urn:uuid:69d7c44e-5bbc-4f21-9a5a-b0bcb2288ace> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://exclaim.ca/film/article/official_selection_homeland_security | 2021-03-08T07:06:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178381989.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20210308052217-20210308082217-00438.warc.gz | en | 0.953507 | 534 | [

The next gen has already been released and the stocks of PS5 and Xbox Series X (and S) have been quickly sold out. The hype created by both companies and all the improvements they promised have taken effect and little by little they continue to replenish stock so that all users who want to enjoy renewed experiences.
EA Sports, with its flagship game FIFA 21, has also adapted to the change of generation and its versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X have already been released.
And the cross-play? Will matches be played between PS4 and PS5 players? Well, the reality is that no. EA Sports has not yet incorporated cross-play in this edition of FIFA so PS5 players will not be able to play games with players from other video consoles, not even with the previous version of the same brand, Sony PlayStation 4.
Despite not allowing cross-play, EA Sports did their best to make the “migration” experience to the new console as satisfying as possible for gamers. Among those facilities and improvements, the following stand out:
Dual Entitlement or double ownership, which basically means that most of the progress (especially that of FIFA Ultimate Team which is the one that most interests the common player) is transferred naturally between PS4 and PS5. This transfer can be done whether you have a physical copy or if it is the digital version. There is also no close deadline to pass FIFA 21 from PS4 to PS5, the limit will be the launch of FIFA 22. As of the release of the new game, this “transfer” will not be possible for free.
Although the graphics quality in the gameplay it does not affect in an obvious way, in the face of the gallery and the replays, in particular, it is interesting to observe the great advance in the details of the faces and the movements of the footballers’ clothing.
The lighting of the lawn has also been improved, as well as the quality of the renderings. Reduction of charging times, thanks to the power of the new generations, these times are relegated to historical lows.
FIFA 21 can be played now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Therefore, if you are enjoying the next-gen version as much as we do, don’t forget you can buy FIFA 21 coins on U7BUY!

BDes, Environmental Design (2020)
Priscilla McIntosh is a first generation Canadian born to two Trinidadian Parents, an aspiring Architect and a young Black woman. She draws her motivation from God, the creativity of her family, and the many cultures she interacts with in her day-to-day life. She consistently finds herself questioning the worlds of classism, racism and sexism in the urban realm. Her belief is that to be a designer, is to be a questioner and maker of these worlds. As David Harvey states, she claims the “right to the city is a civil right like any other” and “to create the city is to create oneself”. She sees design as a vehicle for the 3-dimensional indicator of change in these worlds. Like Harvey, she sees the city as an ultimate microcosm for these changes to be born.

Direct payments and employers liability insurance
If we take direct payments (on behalf of our disabled son) and then to help with caring, employ someone (rather than use an agency), who pays for the employers liability insurance? Do the council make allowance for that cost in the direct payment total? We can ask them when we meet in a few weeks but wondered if the community could advise beforehand.

Neil Mitchell says dinner a ‘very bad look’ for Matthew Guy
Matthew Guy has undermined his own political credibility by dining with an alleged mafia figure, says Neil Mitchell.
The state opposition leader has admitted to having dinner with Tony Madafferi and other Liberal party figures at the Lobster Cave in Beaumaris earlier this year.
Mr Guy has since referred himself to anti-corruption watchdog, IBAC.
The 3AW Mornings host said it was a “very bad look” for Mr Guy, who he spoke with off-air on Tuesday.
“As a political leader, you’ve got to be careful of what you do and what you are seen to do,” Neil Mitchell said.
“He should not have gone.
“His office should have expected and demanded a guest list.
“This doesn’t prove that Matthew Guy has done anything wrong, but he must be more careful about who he meets and eats with.
“This undermines him, particularly when he campaigns so hard on law and order.”

As a woman and a mom, sister, auntie, daughter, wife, friend....I am asking you to get your annual breast exam! We have way too many women (and men) managing breast cancer (as well as ovarian, cervical, and on and on). We have kids growing up without their moms and grandmas due to breast cancer. Please take a minute to look at all of my *pink quilts today. I donate a portion to women's cancer research. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month I will donate HALF of the purchase price for my new Pink* and Black Scrappy Quilt. More importantly get checked. If you have something suspicious, have it looked it quickly, don't wait. Much love to the ta-tas!

THE Queensland floods and cyclone and soaring international oil prices have pushed inflation to a height not topped since the introduction of the GST, sparking talk of interest rate rises and fuelling a surge in the Australian dollar.
The dollar hit a new post-float high of US108.5¢ after the March quarter update pushed the annual inflation rate to 3.3 per cent and the quarterly rate to a long-term high of 1.6 per cent.
The largest single contributor to the quarterly increase was a 9 per cent rise in the price of petrol. A quarter of the increase was due to skyrocketing fruit prices propelled by a 100 per cent rise in the price of bananas and a 16 per cent lift in vegetable prices driven by flood-affected supplies of cauliflowers, broccoli, lettuce, potatoes and pumpkins.
''It's been tough on family budgets," said the Treasurer, Wayne Swan. "We can take some comfort, however, that in coming quarters some of these price increases will unwind as crops regrow."
But some economists disagreed with Mr Swan, saying the full effect of the floods and cyclone was yet to be felt.
"Although food prices were up sharply, we think there will be a spillover into the next quarter. Banana prices rose 700 per cent and this was only partly captured in the March quarter figures. Petrol prices rose over the quarter, meaning the full effect will be felt next quarter," said the chief economist at RBS Australia, Kieran Davies.
"That said, food prices will fall sharply later in the year when farm production comes back on stream.''
Holding back what would otherwise have been even higher inflation were a 6 per cent fall in the cost of milk, driven by supermarket price wars, and the continuing rise in the dollar.
Largely imported products such as electronic goods, furniture and shoes fell in price.
"The decreases are essentially linked to the stronger Australian dollar, so if the dollar comes off then you are going to find higher petrol prices and higher costs across the board," said the shadow treasurer, Joe Hockey.
A former Reserve economist, Paul Bloxham, said the figures marked the start of an inflationary swing. "On a quarterly basis these figures are high however you cut them. The underlying inflation measures watched by the bank come in at 0.8 and 0.9 per cent. Away from food and petrol it's fairly broadly based."
"If the bank gets convinced inflation will be above target from here on, there would be little reason not to hike rates sooner rather than later," said Mr Bloxham, who is the chief economist at HSBC Australia. He predicted that might be in July or August.
Another Reserve Bank interest rise, the first this year, would bring the cash rate to 5 per cent and push most standard variable mortgage rates above 8 per cent, adding $50 to the monthly cost of a $300,000 mortgage.
Mr Swan said: "Underlying inflation is under control but there are emerging inflationary pressures in our economy if we don't get the settings right.
"Taking the necessary decisions to get the budget back to surplus in 2012-13 as planned will ensure that we don't compound inevitable price pressures … when the mining investment boom hits top gear."

A centrally-located instruction room allows simple convenience by persons via all the various areas of the city. Specially when it is positioned just alongside the train or prepare and properly supported by many coach solutions, your education individuals might believe it is extremely easy to commute there even if they cannot drive. An excellent education site should be simple to find, considering not everyone understands how to learn a map.When registering for a program, persons do have problems whether they could get to the training area without any problem, uncertainties, or threat of finding lost.
Ergo a comparatively unknown location will not be well-received and may in reality result in an unhealthy course sign-up. Course commencement time and the general program agenda could be affected consequently of individuals streaming into the room late, or late comers may possibly pass up important program contents throughout the preliminary segment. Find a training room rental at outstanding landmark popular by many individuals, such as the older era; thus likelihood needless to say individuals having problems finding the area isn’t likely.
Education settings with an excellent array of cheap and excellent ingesting stores or premium restaurants are much coveted. Following cooping up in working out room for hours, individuals will recognize a wonderful lunch hour separate where they could curl up and appreciate some great food. Whether your class will provide meal for participants or it’s free and simple for them throughout lunch, being next to a broad selection of places offering hot, delicious food is obviously a large plus stage for a training location.
Everyone recognizes how essential the availability of bathrooms is during any event. The toilet amenity at the training space have to be clean, well-maintained and adequately big, to ensure that even when many of your participants get five to go to the washroom at once, it will not form a troublesome beeline.
Shopping is probably typically the most popular pastime following a quick lunch for work crowd. Several course participants tend to hit right for the retail stores nearby during the lunch break, so a training room that is just a stone’s discard from places giving plenty of shopping are extremely popular. And if looking is not their notion of providing more encourage to the afternoon, individuals can contemplate remaining in lay part of working out room to have a soothing conversation before bracing themselves for the second half day of training.
After you have carefully considered the design, furnishings, light, place and equipment offered by your chosen meeting location, it’s important to also take into consideration extra factors such as for example cost, location and extra services provided. This can ensure your opted for area meets your expectations.
As well as technology, many conference venues could offer more services to both supplement and support your organization meeting. These generally include services like photocopying and faxing, refreshments (such as teas and coffees) or full catering facilities. Nevertheless, it’s essential to notice that even though these solutions are beneficial they are also chargeable and should just be viewed if absolutely essential for your company meeting.
Many company centres also offer their conference room customers free access to company lounges and breakout areas, with free home service refreshments. These additional benefits can make choosing a meeting room within a small business hub a more desirable option. Good customer support is essential to your company because the conference venue you select will essentially become an expansion of one’s manufacturer image for the duration of one’s meeting. How venue staff talk with your customers and lovers can fundamentally affect the notion they will have of one’s organisation, which means you will want to locate a meeting place that gives outstanding client service.
Preferably you would want to choose a conference location that gives a highly skilled and qualified workforce, preferably certified by the Institute of Client Support (ICS); an independent skilled human body for customer service. When selecting a conference site you will want to find a place that’s good transport hyperlinks, so these participating in the conference may achieve your location with ease. Regional features are also essential particularly if you require easy access to necessary company companies such as for example banks.
When possible you will want to locate a conference location that is possibly centrally situated close to your organization or your client. Location is the biggest advantage offered by additional meeting areas; the extra mobility offered enables your organization to maneuver with your web visitors as and when needed. Price is probably the most important element in regards to selecting a conference room. | <urn:uuid:3045b336-60bb-4ac9-921e-7b91a9c3fae6> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://hamzacyber.com/considerations-of-an-ideal-teaching-space-hire/ | 2021-03-05T07:59:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178370239.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20210305060756-20210305090756-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.956259 | 900 | [

The Midlands Engine For Growth – it sounds great, but what does it actually mean to businesses across our region? Much has been written on the subject, but is it is it getting through? Here we look at what this ‘Engine’ is and why it matters.
What is the Midlands Engine For Growth?
The Midlands Engine is the inward investment name for a region of more than 11 million people – from Herefordshire to Leicestershire, Staffordshire to Northampton and everything in between – worth £222 billion to the UK economy and boasting some of the most diverse range of industries in the country. A region seen as full of unlocked potential, it is the result of 11 Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) coming together to jointly boost productivity, attract inward investment, increase connectivity and build a regional tourism offer. Unveiled in late 2015, it will focus on the promotion of five key themes – skills, innovation, transport, promoting the region, and finance for business. If the Midlands region matches the predicted growth rate for the UK over the next 15 years, there is the potential to create 300,000 jobs and boost the national economy by £34 billion.
And while there may be those who are cynical towards the initiative that has been launched with some fanfare, there are some undeniable business benefits to be gained by getting on board with the Midlands Engine.
Here are three key reasons why we believe the Midlands Engine should be important to all businesses in the region…
- It’s a counterbalance to the north/south agenda
London and the South East drain people and projects from the rest of the country while pushing up property prices, or so we’re told time and again. With the Northern Powerhouse arguably being given more than its fair share of attention, the Midlands Engine brand provides a counterbalance to this north/south skew. We are on the world’s doorstep and there is no more connected region in the UK than ours. This enables both large-scale multinational companies to chose the Midlands Engine as their home, knowing they are within hours of all major markets, as well as start-ups whose export potential can be realised quickly and effectively.The word ‘engine’ is very apt – it is the heart of both the country for transport networks and indeed the birthplace of automotive manufacturing. The Midlands Engine has the potential to be the driver of economic success across the country.There is deep political change coming to all regions of the UK and the closer businesses and local authorities can work together, the stronger our bargaining power and inward investment offer will be
- It’s easier for overseas investors to understand the possibilities
Sovereign wealth funds and large international companies looking to set up or relocate to the UK may not fully understand the scale of connectivity that the East and West Midlands offers. Packaging this region up as a hotbed of talent and entrepreneurship with a deeply talented, skilled workforce in a business friendly environment makes it easy for overseas investors to see the possibilities more clearly.It means those looking to plan major investment into the UK can view the Midlands region – which already has a £222 billion economic value – and all it has to offer as one entity, with thousands of possibilities
- A platform to showcase a breadth of industries
The sheer breadth of industries that the Midlands Engine region contains is like no other in the UK – from advanced engineering to food and drink, professional services to IT – their are global players that have their roots in our region. The Midlands Engine boasts a strength and depth of sectors as diverse as the people that work in them, so a single platform that allows the region to showcase all its sides should be welcomed.
There will always be cynics when government initiatives such as the Midlands Engine are launched. But whatever the motivation – be it political, economic or both – it nonetheless presents a platform to show what this region is made of. Birmingham is fast becoming known as a global city – and if the Midlands Engine is an opportunity to shine to world’s spotlight a little further east too then that should be grabbed with both hands by businesses. The more companies that invest in the region, the stronger our spirit of talent and enterprise grows.
People power, public sector ambition and private sector confidence are uniting to create an unrivalled economic success story, attracting and keeping multinational companies, the most exciting entrepreneurs and the cream of the graduate crop here. It is the ignition to firing up this region’s economic success story. | <urn:uuid:6e726b50-9edc-4f5f-a310-04013b024de9> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.wearestorycomms.com/the-midlands-engine-explained/ | 2021-03-05T06:12:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178370239.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20210305060756-20210305090756-00158.warc.gz | en | 0.951407 | 911 | [
