Help us share the news about our supporters’ club and you could win a pair of Oakley’s.
Join our #DreamMakers club at
To celebrate Black Friday, we are giving away one pair of black Oakley Jawbreaker sunglasses to one lucky supporter – just like the ones worn by Cav.
All you have to do is become a member (or be an existing member) of our #DreamMakers supporters club and send out an email encouraging your friends to join too. You can do this by forwarding this email to your friends or compose another email using your own words.
DON’T FORGET to cc. us in the mail so that we can see who has been sharing. (marklesotho (@) gmail.com)
Remember that the aim of our #DreamMakers’ club is to foster additional support for our African MTB team. Your support goes directly to helping our riders to reach their dreams by: –
- Providing a basic subsistence allowance to help them feed their families and get the nutrition they need from a balanced diet. (the current allowance ranges between $80-$100 USD per month)
- Helping to supply and maintain their cycling equipment. We get some product support from the cycling industry, but we all know how expensive it is to keep our bikes in racing shape.
- Access to races. Most of the racing we do is in South Africa and we are very happy to camp in tents just to get the opportunity to race.
The actual sunglasses to be won are in the photograph below Cav. They are brand new, authentic Oakley with a grey polarized lens and and chrome logo. They come with a soft case and a spare grey polarized lens.
The competition will run from Friday 25/11/2016 until Thursday 01/12/2016 Midnight Central African Time. Each email sent out with us CCed will count as an entry and you can enter as many times as you want. The winner will be selected randomly and notified by email. The glasses will be shipped from UK.
Good luck and thank you for your support. | <urn:uuid:0e90ab1f-15ab-4fd0-b8bd-ececb20638ff> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://africandreamteam.net/win-a-cool-pair-of-oakley-eyewear/ | 2021-03-08T12:21:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178375439.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20210308112849-20210308142849-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.944895 | 431 | [

What is Naturopathic Medicine? It is a type of healthcare that emphasizes wellness & disease prevention.
What is a Naturopathic Doctor? Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are primary care doctors who specialize in natural medicine. They most often treat by using vitamins, herbs, homeopathy, and lifestyle counseling.
Is Naturopathic Medicine also known as "alternative medicine"? Although they are usually lumped together, alternative medicine can be any type of medicine that is different than conventional medical care. Naturopathic medicine is just one of the many different types of "alternative medicines."
How is a Naturopathic Doctor (ND) different from a Medical Doctor (MD)? NDs can practice similarly to medical doctors, except that they prescribe natural therapies for health concerns. They usually do not prescribe drugs, although that varies from doctor to doctor, and do not perform major surgeries. NDs rarely have hospital priveleges, which is why Dr. Ow believes that all patients should have an MD as part of their healthcare team. Most importantly NDs look at the whole person and try to determine what is keeping someone from having optimal health. NDs are looking for long term solutions not just quick fixes.
Where did Dr. Ow go to medical school? She received her medical training at Bastyr University, in Seattle, WA. It is only 1 of 4 naturopathic medical schools in the U.S.
Is Dr. Ow licensed to practice medicine? Yes, she is licensed with California's Bureau of Naturopathic Medicine. She can be looked up on their website: www.naturopathic.ca.gov or by phone (916) 574-7991.
What conditions does Dr. Ow treat? She mostly sees patients with chronic conditions, such as allergies, arthritis, fatigue, skin problems, high blood pressure, menopause. But she has experience treating many different conditions and usually finds that there is something she can do to help. She treates men, women, and children of all ages.
What type of treatments does Dr. Ow use? Dr. Ow has been trained in a wide variety of natural therapies, and primarily uses detoxification, herbs, homeopathy, natural hormones, and nutritional therapies (dietary changes, vitamin & mineral supplementation). OFten times she blends different therapies for a patient, depending on what they need. Treatment is customized for each patient. She also does a lot of health counseling & education to help you understand why you're body is not functioning well and what you can do to care for yourself. She will work with you to create a treatment plan that is both effective and do-able.
What kind of detoxification therapies does Dr. Ow use? Dr. Ow likes to prescribe detox therapies that you can do at home. She has different options depending on how much detoxing she feels you need and what fits into your daily schedule. It almost always requires a change in your diet for at least 1 month.
What is homeopathy? Homeopathy is a natural form of medicine that uses small doses of substances, in the form of small, dissolvable pills, to stimulate the body'[s healing process. There are hundreds of different remedies and Dr. Ow tries to find the best match which will help to bring your body back into balance. There is very little scientific research on Homeopathy, but Dr. Ow has seen amazing changes when the right remedy is chosen.
What types of herbs does Dr. Ow prescribe? Dr. Ow can prescribe any number of different herbs, depending on your health concerns. Herbs now come in many different forms: teas, powders, capsules, tablets, concentrated liquids, syrups, essential oils. She will prescribe them in whichever form works best for the patient.
What type of nutritional care does Dr. Ow prescribe? Dr. Ow will often ask about your diet to see if you are getting your recommended amounts of nutrients & water. She can supplement your diet with vitamins & minerals and/or she can make dietary suggestions if you're diet is lacking in nutrients. Often times she uses vitamins & minerals to treat health concerns, where there is good scientific evidence that it is effective. She can also develop a diet plan based upon your needs; such as for heart disease, diabetes, vegetarians, low-carb, high-fiber, high-protein, and food allergies.
Does Dr. Ow prescribe hormones? Yes, it is in her scope of practice to prescribe hormones. She prefers the natural, bio-identical hormones which must be specially compounded. Two Salinas pharmacies are capable of doing that.
Do Natural therapies really work? Yes, although there are a number of factors that determine the answer to that. First, you need a health practitioner that is well-trained in how to use them. Second, the patients needs to be committed to following the prescribed treatment plan & reporting the effects. Lastly, both you and the practitioner need to have patience as you work together to make necessary changes to your treatment. Dr. Ow sees natural therapies work every day, and scientific research has shown that they work, but it takes effort on the patients part.
What is a visit like with Dr. Ow? She will review your health history with you as well as covering your current health concerns in detail. She will perform whatever physical exam is necessary for your condition and develop a treatment plan for you. She will explain what she thinks is going on with your health and what she thinks is the best thing to do.
Are visits with Dr. Ow covered by insurance? Some insurance companies will reimburse for naturopathic medical care. It is best for you to contact your insurance company to see if you have benefits that will cover her care. She would be considered a non-contract provider. Payment to Dr. Ow is due at time of service and she will provide you with a receipt. Some insurance companies require a claim form & some only require the office receipt for reimbursement. Our office can provide you with any information or paperwork that the insurance company requires.
How often would I need to see Dr. Ow? Just like with your medical doctor, it varies from case to case. Typically after the initial visit, Dr. Ow will want you to follow-up in 2-4 weeks to re-evaluate your condition and to see if you are able to follow through with your treatment plan. You may then likely have another follow-up a month later to chart your progress. If your condition improves, visits would be less frequent, as you continue to care for yourself at home. Of course, if something new arises or you feel worse, you should notify our office immediately and schedule a sooner visit with the doctor.
If I am already using natural therapies, will this be a problem? Many people are already using natural therapies and it's usually not a problem. Just let the doctor know what you are taking and in what dosages, so that she is aware. In some instances, she may recommend that you stop or change dosages but she would make sure that you understand her reasoning.
If I am using prescribed drugs, will Dr. Ow not like this? Dr. Ow is not opposed to you using prescription drugs and she recommends that you continue taking them just as your doctor has prescribed. She understands that most people on prescription drugs and she will work with you as you continue to take them. Just let your doctors know what you are taking and in what dosages. In some instances, Dr. Ow may be able to get you well enough so that you don't have to take drugs. Most people see NDs because they want to come off their prescription meds.
What do I need to bring to a first visit? Bottles of any herbs, supplements, & medications that you are taking. Reports from any recent lab work. And a typed/written health history, if it helps you to remember the details of your health concerns. | <urn:uuid:e27f70c0-435c-4d1c-88de-bec1f6aaee35> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://salinasnaturalhealth.com/37912.html | 2021-03-08T11:52:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178375439.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20210308112849-20210308142849-00478.warc.gz | en | 0.965398 | 1,616 | [

A city in New Mexico has transformed its GIS into an enterprise implementation in a relatively short time, aided by enterprise licensing. Located just north of Albuquerque, Rio Rancho has a population of 92,000. Like many other cities, Rio Rancho’s GIS had developed in departmental silos, with Public Works and Development Services leading the way. After a decade of uncoordinated use, the city understood that GIS was becoming more instrumental to service delivery. Therefore, the city embarked on a strategic planning process with the goal of advancing and coordinating GIS enterprise-wide.
Late in 2012, the city promoted John Martineau to the role of GIS manager. At the outset, Martineau determined that he wouldn’t be satisfied unless the GIS was doing everything that it could to advance service delivery in every department. He understood that GIS was not a stand-alone technology. His goal was to have GIS become the portal into all city data—spatial and nonspatial. The city partnered with Esri Gold Tier Partner Geographic Technologies Group (GTG) to achieve this goal.
Early in the project, it became apparent that the city’s software needs had outstripped its licensing. Users were being educated about GIS, and the demand for access to GIS data and software was increasing rapidly. Concurrently, the GIS team was investigating ArcGIS for Local Government and ArcGIS Online as a means of disseminating information and functionality to the organization and the public.
An analysis of the financial commitment necessary to deliver the planned solutions prompted the city to enter into an enterprise license agreement (ELA) with Esri. Once the GIS team was no longer constricted by lack of software licensing, the expansion of GIS began in earnest.
Martineau insisted that enabling users with traditional GIS data was insufficient. His vision was to use GIS as the window into all of the city’s technologies and data.
To that end, the city’s GIS team worked with GTG to geoenable every dataset imaginable. Existing IT datasets were scrubbed and geoenabled. This included data from SunGard HTE (for licensing, permitting, utility accounts, 911, and police records), MicroPaver (for pavement management), Maintenance Connections (for work orders), RescueBridge (for fire records), and GraniteXP (for pipeline inspections).
In addition, the city’s 1,800 scanned documents—engineering drawings, studies, reports, project files, and plans—were linked to their geographic location. Back end middleware was deployed to synchronize these systems continually so that data is immediately available within the GIS. All this data, coupled with more than 100 GIS layers, provides a wealth of information. Existing data was ported into the Esri Local Government Information Model (LGIM) so Esri maps and apps could be leveraged.
The challenge was how best to enable users to consume and analyze all of this information. The city recognized that application deployment is where many organizations fail to realize the true power of GIS. After much planning, the city decided to implement a diverse collection of ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS, and third-party Esri-based apps. These apps were selected to meet the needs of three groups: internal users, city workers in the field, and the public.
Internally, a mix of applications was chosen. ArcGIS Viewer for Flex was deployed through eight targeted portals instead of deploying a single one-size-fits-all app that would not be the right fit for all Rio Rancho users. These portals were configured to meet the specific needs of user groups by configuring MapTips, data layers, and searches and linking to non-spatial IT systems.
Portals were deployed for the city clerk, city manager, code enforcement, development services, financial services, parks and recreation, public works, engineering, and public works utilities. This meant that departments no longer needed to consult various datasets to access the information needed. The result: decision making has been streamlined, time is being saved, and city staff members are more informed.
City of Rio Rancho staff members indicated they not only needed to have access to pertinent GIS data layers in the office but also access to this information in the field. This need was met by deploying mobile GIS maps to field crews. The city decided to use ArcGIS Online maps and applications to make this data available in the field. Staff members no longer print hard-copy maps or have to remember information they viewed in the office. Now they can access that data in the field.
The city deployed four mobile maps as part of this initiative. The mobile map for building inspectors contains two vital layers of GIS data for inspectors—parcel data and building permits. The engineering mobile application allows the engineering staff to view parcel data as well as record as-built drawings. Not only can staff view the area for each as-built, but they can bring up a PDF of the as-built while in the field to get more information.
The third application is for line locating crews. This application, similar to the application for engineering staff, allows staff to view the location of as-builts throughout the city and to retrieve the PDF of that particular as-built. The fourth mobile application allows utility staff to view information from the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) as well as sewer, water, and stormwater gravity main data.
Public safety had needed to use specialized third-party products. GTG’s Looking Glass Suite was selected for use in the 911 center, and police and fire departments. The 911 center had struggled for years with software that could not use live data with Esri GIS software.
Looking Glass Dispatch enabled dispatchers to track all active incidents, link building preplans and CCTV feeds, view live traffic data, and access any GIS data layer. The fire and police departments were enabled with Vantage Points Public Safety Analyst (PSA). PSA allows staff to view all incidents, do hot spot analysis and predictive analysis, and access executive dashboards that display live data.
Public safety wanted to use GIS in the field. To that end, the department deployed Vantage Points Mobile for their mobile data terminals (MDTs) and Vantage Points SMART for use on tablets and smartphones. Field staff can now view live GIS data, incident data, and the geolocation of vehicles and smart devices.
It was important for the city of Rio Rancho to provide GIS data and information to citizens through an easy-to-use GIS portal. The city deployed three GIS portals for citizens’ use: one showing water leaks, another for viewing parcel information, and a parks and recreation area locator. Each app was built using the ArcGIS Online apps the city could access with its ArcGIS Online organizational subscription.
The water leak map lets citizens view the location and other information about water leaks in the city. This data is derived directly from the water database using SQL statements. With the parcel map, citizens can view information about real property located in the city. Finally, citizens can use the parks and recreation finder to search for parks and amenities near their address, find out about city parks, and get routing information to parks.
The goal of most municipal GIS implementations is enterprise-wide adoption. Rio Rancho has achieved enterprise-wide success in a short time by focusing on user needs, identifying practical solutions, and leveraging the power of the Esri toolset. Plans are under way to continue expanding Rio Rancho’s hugely successful effort with dataset development and implementing a number of other internal and external portals. | <urn:uuid:0b61338a-a706-46c1-88eb-3511b8666954> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.esri.com/about/newsroom/arcuser/no-user-left-behind/ | 2021-02-25T12:59:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178351134.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225124124-20210225154124-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.952014 | 1,592 | [

The greatest player ever to pull on a Nets jersey made his Brooklyn debut Tuesday night, and the excitement was … not palpable.
The arena did not roar, rumble or crackle with energy. The roof was not raised. It stayed right where it was.
This was not Kevin Durant’s fault, of course. He did everything a superstar is supposed to do to—swishing a straightaway 3 on his first shot, nailing an array of slinky jumpers, flying for a right-handed jam on the break, and leading the Nets to a breezy 125–99 rout of the Golden State Warriors.
The performance was electrifying. The atmosphere? Just weird.
The crowd noise was prerecorded and pumped through the PA system. Live applause came only from players, coaches and 60 essential workers who were invited as honored guests. There were maybe 150 people in an arena bowl made to hold 17,739.
So it went on opening night of the 2020–21 NBA season, the first to tip off amid a global pandemic. There will be no fans in most NBA arenas for the foreseeable future, no one to scream, stomp, chant, shriek, boo, howl or exult.
And on this night in Brooklyn, no one to celebrate the most celebrated free-agent signing in franchise history, who made his long-awaited debut after an 18-month recovery from Achilles surgery.
Here was Durant, the former MVP, playing his first official game since the 2019 Finals, facing the team he led to two championships, flanked by his friend and co-star Kyrie Irving, leading a Nets team with legit title hopes, and one could only imagine the happy pandemonium that would have engulfed Barclays Center in any other year.
“I’m sure with fans it would have been a crazy atmosphere, especially KD playing against his old team,” Nets guard Caris LeVert said, smiling broadly. “But I felt like we came out, we handled business and even though we didn’t have fans, we created our own energy tonight.”
Even the NBA’s bubble games in Orlando, also played without fans, were not quite this surreal. Those games were played in small, intimate gymnasiums, with virtual fans beamed onto courtside monitors. Now every team is back in its own full-sized arena, and the absence of bodies and voices and dance teams and kiss-cams is glaring.
This will all take some getting used to.
Yet if Tuesday’s game was any indication, the Nets will need very little time acclimating to each other, or to the soaring expectations that come with having Durant and Irving on board. The Nets dropped 40 points on the Warriors in the first quarter (10 from Durant, 17 from Irving), built a lead as high as 38 points and generally cruised through the evening, delivering the first career victory to new coach Steve Nash.
Durant put up 22 points in just 25 minutes of work, sitting the final 15 minutes of a game that never was competitive. Irving put up 26 points, on incredibly efficient shooting (10 of 16), and also earned the fourth quarter off.
There’s a long way to go yet, and the Warriors team that arrived here bore little resemblance to the one Durant ditched in July 2019, but this sort of dominant play is surely what Durant and Irving had in mind when they decided to join forces all those months ago.
“It’s been a long time coming,” Irving said. “And I’m grateful that we could let our games do the talking. But I’m also grateful that we can have relationships here that matter off the court, that help us on the court.”
He meant his friendship with Durant, of course, but also his growing bonds with this Nets team, which had a bumpy first year with this duo under contract—Durant rehabbing throughout last season, and Irving limited to 20 games due to injuries, all ending with a patchwork Nets team losing to Toronto in a four-game sweep in first round of the playoffs.
“We’ve just gone through some challenging times,” Irving said, “And we’re able to put on this uniform as a team together, while understanding that the more we stay collective as a group, the better off we'll be in the long run. We don’t want to let anything disrupt what we’ve got going on here or what our goals are. It’s simple—it’s a championship. So we gotta enjoy this regular season, but we’re just gonna enjoy every step of the journey, as well.”
To a man, the Nets are speaking more about the process than the goal, though that part is fairly well understood. Durant and Irving have both won titles elsewhere and have an acute understanding of the growth required over a season. Nash never made the Finals in his Hall of Fame career, but he’s preaching patience, too, especially as it regards Durant, given his long recovery and the seriousness of the Achilles injury.
“He looks like Kevin, he plays like Kevin, but I don’t want to start making expectations of him until he gets going and gets some games and some rhythm, under his belt,” Nash said. “I just don’t want to necessarily expect that every night is gonna be amazing. His off nights are amazing for most people in the league. But he needs time to adapt still.”
On talent alone, the Nets project the image of a contender. They have the requisite All-Stars, plus the core of an overachieving team that made the playoffs before those stars arrived—including two players, Caris LeVert and Spencer Dinwiddie, who flirted with All-Star consideration in recent years. There are caveats—about Durant’s durability, about Irving’s injury history, about chemistry and new roles and a rookie head coach—but this team’s upside is indisputable.
Crowd or no crowd, Tuesday night ranked among the most consequential in Nets history, of any era—Brooklyn, New Jersey or Long Island. Durant and Irving are the best duo the franchise has ever had, and represent the best chances for a championship since Jason Kidd and Kenyon Martin were flying up and down the court 18 years ago.
“It’s probably the most anticipated debut since the KG–Paul Pierce combo,” longtime Nets announcer Ian Eagle said in a phone interview before the game, referring to the 2013–14 squad that featured former Celtics Pierce and Kevin Garnett, who were acquired by trade.
But the Pierce-Garnett experiment lasted just one season and ended in a second-round flop against the Miami Heat.
“The biggest difference, though, is they did not choose to be in Brooklyn; Durant and Kyrie did,” Eagle said. “That’s a huge distinction, the idea that they are now a destination in the NBA. That had never been the case before. Jason Kidd was traded to the Nets. Vince Carter was traded to the Nets. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, traded to the Nets.”
The franchise has seen other all-time greats come through—notably, Julius Erving, Drazen Petrovic and Bernard King—but no one with Durant’s sheer talent and resume. He could be called the greatest player to wear the Nets jersey after one game, but to be the greatest Net will require a little more.
“If this is the first step to a championship, he has a chance to be No. 1,” Eagle said.
None of that was on Durant’s mind Tuesday, as he bounded onto the court for tipoff, though he was surely aware of the anticipation surrounding him.
“I know there’s a lot of emotions,” Durant said afterward, alluding to a flood of “calls and texts about playing again.” But he kept his focus squarely on the game, and “try not to make too big of a deal out of this whole thing.”
In that way, the empty arena suited Durant’s low-key attitude toward all the anticipatory hype.
Still, the game-ops staff did its best to simulate a normal, fan-tailored, atmosphere. The Warriors were still introduced to the Imperial March (aka, the Darth Vader theme). PA man Olivier Sedra still growled out the starters’ names during introductions and bellowed, “BROOKLYN! Are you ready?!”
During a timeout, NBA legend Grant Hill appeared on the video scoreboard, urging fans to be respectful to one another—though there were few actual fans in the building, and they were all spaced many, many feet apart.
Among those in attendance were 60 were essential workers—medical personnel, nursing-home attendants, MTA employees, sanitation workers and others—invited as honored guests. Before tipoff, the Nets raised a black banner reading, “NYC Essential Workers 2020” into the rafters, a permanent tribute to this uniquely difficult year, and those who helped get us through it.
The next banner is up to Kevin Durant. | <urn:uuid:fbbb352f-7a60-4bbb-89f7-0c22618dd05c> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.si.com/nba/2020/12/23/kevin-durant-nets-debut-vs-warriors | 2021-02-25T15:12:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178351134.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225124124-20210225154124-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.971606 | 1,941 | [

Abstract:The effect of C/O ratio of pelletizing on characteristics of grain growth of ferronickel in direct reduction of laterite with rotary kiln was studied on the conditions that reduction temperature was 1 360 ℃, reduction time was 3 h, and CaO/ore ratio of palletizing was 7%. The results indicated that the optimal C/O ratio was 2, based on the reducing conditions, and more than 80% grain size of ferronickel was greater than 1 mm. It was not favorable for metal phase agglomeration and growth when C/O ratio was too high or too low. There was no grain of ferronickel generated when C/O ratio was relatively low andthe grain size of ferronickel was too small when C/O ratio was relatively high.

Designed to provide super-fast clutchless downshifting this unique system including patented downshift-blippers provides ultra high speed auto-blipped downshifts, its main features are;
- Uniquely utilising fully adjustable Proximity sensing “Magic Eye” to trigger the “Downshift-Blipper” GCU this revolutionary operation method provides far faster more accurate clutchless downshifts than other conventional methods without the need for commonly used potentially gearbox damaging load cells.
- SUPERBIKE ENGINES, Remote cable operation including idle screw replacement ferrule ideally suited to superbike engines making installation very quick and simple, This lightweight ultra fast acting downshift blipper utilising a specifically designed lightweight solenoid will provide reliable high speed clutchless downshifts with a typical “on time” of around 50mS (milliseconds) allowing precise multiple downshifts.
- LARGER RACECARS, Telescopic Downshift-Blipper, this unique ultra-fast high powered solenoid driven device is specifically designed to fit to the throttle pedal on larger cars. As engine bay space is often restricted and higher power output is required the telescopic downshift-blipper is designed to operate directly on to the vehicles throttle pedal thus providing clutchless downshifting without the need for the driver to manually blip the throttle. The telescopic blipper features a universal joint fitting to the actuator body allied to multi adjustable mounting feet makes fitting along with correct setting of travel and alignment very easily achievable.
Unlike some air or vacuum devices ALL OF OUR BLIPPERS will not run out of power during multiple downshifts, so no requirement for ignition cuts after blipping, it’s super-fast sprung loaded return negates the requirement to do so, some air & vacuum blippers require this function as they do not return to rest position quickly enough after blipping.
Electronic downshift-blipper modules supplied for Drive By Wire (DBW) throttles, providing super-fast electronically “blipped” clutchless downshifts for vehicles featuring this throttle configuration.
- Easily adjustable blipper “on time” and operational travel allowing you to “tune” the system to your own personal driving/riding style.
- Stand Alone 12 Volt operation with absolutely no requirement for heavy compressors or vacuum modules solenoid valves etc to power the throttle blipper.

Several times this week I've been involved in conversations with clients where one person (or group of people) is not fully satisfied with the value that is being delivered to them by another person (or group).
It turns out that most of the time there's been a misunderstanding or miscommunication about expectations.
The simplest solution to most of your problems is to find out exactly what other people need and want from you, and then deliver that in the format/s they've asked for.
Zig Ziglar was onto this long ago.
This all sounds simple enough, yet in practice simple rarely means easy!
1) Next week invest time and energy reflecting on all the roles you play, and all of the people you have relationships with, and write down what each person needs and wants from you.
2) Over the course of this month make a time to meet with each person (in person or online using a facility that means you can see each other) (don't email) and check in with them to ensure that what you believe they need and want is precisely what they need and want and in the format/s they desire.
3) Make the necessary modifications/changes to how you deliver the value that other people need and want.
As always should you like some help with this please contact me on +61 418 807 898. | <urn:uuid:aafc62c4-b7e9-419d-91c2-e20db4908dbf> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://blog.ianberry.biz/2016/09/the-simplest-solution-to-most-of-your.html | 2021-03-02T04:26:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178363217.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302034236-20210302064236-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.967048 | 276 | [

- Apprentice Lawyer
The political drama that erupted in Madhya Pradesh was finally put to rest last week after Chief Minister Kamal Nath submitted his resignation.
In the run-up to this entire crisis, two constitutional institutions played key roles — the Governor of Madhya Pradesh and the Supreme Court of India.
During the two-day marathon hearings that took place in the Apex Court, where the petitioners demanded a floor test, the Chief Minister and the Speaker of the House demanded that if at all there will be any show of strength, it will be through the vote of confidence.
While both these mechanisms produce similar results, i.e. they decide whether a political party enjoys majority support to form the government, there is no clarity on when legislatures should resort to these methods.
Since there is no explanation on the exact difference between the two parliamentary procedures, and the BJP and Congress harped on the floor-test and no-confidence motion respectively to defend their positions, there is a pressing need to examine the legal subtleties that distinguish them.
The other important question that was argued before the Apex Court was the constitutional role of the Governor. In particular, the Court was faced with a very complex issue relating to the powers of the Governor to order a trust vote by invoking the provisions of Articles 174 and 175(2) of the Constitution.
Even though the gubernatorial power to order a trust vote has not been expressly stipulated in the Constitution, the petitioners had argued that the Governor enjoys such powers when the purpose is preservation of democratic values and stable governance.
With political parties being voted into power by wafer-thin majorities, and the emergence of legislators with divided loyalties before the term of the legislature expires (five years), it is now imperative that the power and role of the Governor in matters relating to continuation of the government are clearly defined and demarcated.
In delimiting these powers, principles relating to democratic ethos and stable governance, in addition to the intrinsic nature of a government with a slim majority, will have to be duly respected.
Floor Test versus Motion of No-Confidence: Two sides of the same coin?
As per the Rules of Procedure & Conduct of Business of the Madhya Pradesh Vidhan Sabha, a motion of no confidence can be introduced against the council of ministers (See Rule 143). A reading of the rule suggests that a motion for no confidence against the council of ministers can be ‘brought’ by a member of the house.
Sub-rule (1) and (2) prescribe the procedure for introducing the motion of no confidence; leave is to be taken from the Speaker by the member. Under sub-rule (2) of Rule 143, the Speaker is required to examine whether the motion is in order and once he opines that it is so, he shall grant leave if one-tenth of the total number of members are in favour of granting it.
Once leave is granted, the motion has to be taken up on a day within a period of not more than 10 days on which the leave is asked, as the Speaker may appoint. What might look like ordinary procedure, the 10 days stipulated often becomes a breather for the incumbent government when it is faced with a precarious situation of losing the support of its own legislators. It leaves governments, especially ones with a paper-thin majority, ample time to deliberate and negotiate a political compromise to stay in power.
That perhaps offers the explanation for the argument made by the Chief Minister before the Court that a motion of no confidence instead of a floor-test is the only recourse for proving majority in case of sitting governments.
This challenge was made on the basis of the orders of the Supreme Court when a political crisis emerged in Karnataka (2018) and Maharashtra (2019). It was argued that a floor test is applicable only when – (a) fresh elections have been conducted in the state; (b) no session of the assembly has been convened by the Governor; and (c) no political party has achieved a majority of its own.
Although the Court had resorted to order floor tests in these situations, the same is attributable more to the situations that have recently emerged and litigated after assembly elections and not to a ‘standard’ principle that applies exclusively to situations mentioned in (a) to (c) above.
Against the no-confidence motion, there is no mention of any procedure for conducting a floor test, so to say. As a concept, floor test is a procedure that has become entrenched in the constitutional parliamentary convention through judicial pronouncements.
An examination of a few rulings suggest that the power to order a floor test can be ordered by the Governor not only in situations covered by (a) to (c) above, but also when the Governor has reason to believe that the incumbent government no longer enjoys the majority support (See Nabam Rebia & Anr. v. Deputy Speaker and Others).
However, incumbent governments are generally not readily inclined to undergo a floor test on the instructions of the Governor. Therefore, it is the Court more often than not that steps in to order the floor test. Despite the disinclination to follow the floor test, it remains beyond doubt that a floor test can be ordered to check whether the incumbent government still retains majority support.
With this basic idea behind the two procedures, there are some important differences that should not be forgotten. A motion of no confidence is usually governed by the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business with procedural limitations on its introduction such as leave of the Speaker with the support of one-tenth of the total membership.
As mentioned above, there is every possibility that the period of 10 days might be used for corrupt practices such as horse-trading. On the other hand, a floor test, subject to the proper exercise of power, can be ordered immediately depending on the discretion of the Governor.
Given the differences, it is quite likely that the Speaker, having political allegiance to the ruling government, might influence or stifle the process of introduction of the no-confidence motion on frivolous grounds. Such a possibility is, however, obviated where it is the Governor who orders a floor-test once he opines that the incumbent cabinet does not command the confidence of the House.
As opposed to a motion of no confidence, a floor test might, therefore, be a more preferred method to ascertain the government’s support in the legislature. The objective behind the same is to ensure restoration of stability in the government as expediently as possible, failing which the Governor would be compelled to trigger the process under Article 356 for imposition of President’s Rule.
Powers of the Governor: Just a titular head or the watchdog of democracy?
Under Article 163(1) of the Constitution, the Governor is obliged to act on the “aid and advise” of the Council of Ministers. The concept of “aid and advise” underscores the principle of cabinet system of responsibility adopted by the Indian Constitution from constitutional practice in Britain. Under this system, the Governor is a formal or titular head aided and advised by the cabinet in the performance of executive functions of the State.
In crude terms, the decision of the Governor is the decision of the Council of Ministers (See Shamsher Singh v. State of Punjab).
However, in some narrowly tailored circumstances, an exception has been engrafted in the latter part of Article 163(1), where the Governor has been endowed with a discretionary power in performing his functions. The expression “except in so far as he is by or under this Constitution…in his discretion” entails that the Governor can perform functions unfettered by the aid and advise of the cabinet where the Constitution expressly or by necessary implication vests such discretion.
Now, decidedly, the power of the Governor to ask the incumbent cabinet to prove majority on the floor of the house is a discretionary power covered by the latter part of Article 163(1) whenever it appears to the Governor that the government no longer enjoys confidence of the House.
In invoking these powers, the Governor can instruct the Chief Minister to prove that the party/alliance he leads retains majority on the floor of the house.
In a series of judgments handed down by the Apex Court, the gubernatorial powers (just discussed) to order a floor test to an incumbent government have been upheld.
SR Bommai’s Case is the oldest and the most reliable testament to these powers. In a separate and concurring opinion delivered by Jeevan Reddy, J. in Bommai, he has observed that the decision to resort to the floor test is the sole discretion of the Governor. According to him, the only manner to test whether the cabinet has lost the confidence of the house is testing it on the floor of the house, except in a situation where pervasive violence makes it impossible.
The decision in Nabam Rebia (supra) has even more emphatically expounded on these powers. In Paragraph 175 of the judgment, the Court says,
“[…] in a situation where the Governor has reasons to believe that the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers have lost the confidence of the House, it is open to the Governor, to require the Chief Minister and his Council of Ministers to prove their majority in the House, by a floor test. Only in a situation, where the Government in power on the holding of such floor test is seen to have lost the confidence of the majority, it would be open to the Governor to exercise the powers vested with him under Article 174 at his own, and without any aid and advice.”
Against these well-settled observations, the lawyers defending the Chief Minister made a very novel argument before the Court. They argued that the Governor has no powers except those enumerated in Article 174 of the Constitution i.e. the power to summon, prorogue and dissolve the house. With due respect, the said proposition is without merit and support in judicial opinions just cited above.
The powers of the Governor to direct the Chief Minister to establish that his government retains majority support in the House once there is doubt about its support are indisputable. Representative democracy and stability in governance are peremptory norms that should guide the Governor in exercising his powers, more particularly when some legislators have made their intention palpably clear to withdraw their support to the government.
In such a situation, it would be antithetical to the Constitution for the Governor to sit back with folded hands to only allow political turmoil and instability.
Put simply, the Governor acts like an amphibian where his powers undergo a gradual transformation - from a mere titular head controlled by the Council of Ministers to an independent constitutional head fettered only by the foundational constitutional precepts.
Exercise of powers by the Governor in the latter sense can be described an embodiment of the doctrine of “constitutional governance” and “constitutional trust”. According to Justice DY Chandarchud, J., these two doctrines imply that,
“when [constitutional] functionaries exercise their power under the Constitution, the sustenance of the values that usher in the foundation of constitutional governance should remain as the principal motto.”
In sum, one can safely say that the argument relating to limiting the powers of the Governor to those enumerated textually in the Constitution has not been accepted by the Court over the years.
Conclusion: The Way Forward
Political instability has always been at the fulcrum of the Indian democracy. That also includes the ability of the members of the House to join the parties of their choice, even if that comes at the cost of putting the future of the incumbent government in peril.
In these times, the tussle and the struggle for power between the Governor and the Speaker of the assembly has emerged as one of the most interesting topics for the scholars of constitutional law. The increasing role of the writ courts in all such crises has lately become a source of attraction.
The law with regard to the remedies and mechanisms applicable needs to be clarified, so that the path for the future courts and legislatures is clear and definite. The judicial fiat must now bury every controversy so that in the future, approaching the courts is more about formal validation than about uncertainty.

If you will be a fan of sports, you find out most of the activities news stores available to get your viewing or even studying pleasure. What you might not exactly know is that each and every of the shops of which broadcast live activities seem to be biased in the direction of the qualities in which will they have a direct risk.
Most recently I actually was watching the AMERICAN FOOTBAL game on Monk. In the score ticker at the end of my screen I actually noticed that they ended up exhibiting scores from often the English Great League. Early in the working day, Monk had broadcast a new re-run of the Liverpool as opposed to. Manchester United game. Evidently these scores are constructed to increase interest throughout the property that they will put out. I can’t remember CBS or perhaps NBC actually showing EPL scores in their tickers. Obviously simply the EPL’s broadcast partners see fit to show these lots.
Furthermore, around the US, ESPN does not give much attention to be able to the particular NHL. Coverage dropped noticeably after the NHL moved their particular games in order to Versus, right now renamed NBC Sports. Rarely will a person find a big NHL story at the major of the headlines with their espn. com website. One could argue of which hockey is merely definitely not well-liked enough in america to bring about the policy, but often the lack of coverage offers already been significant since these people ended broadcasting NHL activities. Also, in Canada, typically the Canadian Football League (CFL) moved their own game broadcasts only to help TSN (The Sports Network). Games applied to be shared together with typically the nationally subsidized Canadian Message Corporation (CBC). Hereafter coverage on TSN’s athletics displaying competitor, Sportsnet, and even different competitive Canadian stores has become drastically reduced.
All these media outlets will regarding course report a scores, but they will not commit time otherwise into their regular schedules to go over or analyze the prior week’s results or upcoming complements. Here’s why: in case ESPN or Sportsnet have no the rights to send out a certain sport, they check out that any time many people devote covering that activity or perhaps league as no cost advertising and promotion to get their displaying competitors. live score IPL why devote period during your own personal evening as well as late night showcase show or build 60-minute show to focus in a new sport that can be the exclusively send out located by simply another circle?
Unfortunately, if you like a number of athletics, it means the fact that you likely defintely won’t be capable to get all this insurance coverage you want inside one place. You need to choose and choose the particular retailers that cover your preferred sports activities best. If anyone want NHL insurance coverage, you will likely have to seem further than the ubiquitous ESPN components. If you wish CFL insurance in Canada you are going to need to go for you to TSN. Naturally if a person are online, you could just go to the websites regarding the given group associated with interest. | <urn:uuid:5aab151c-2c87-4575-aab7-90e38d86d59c> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.ronklein2006.com/major-sports-news-outlets-dismiss-quite-a-few-leagues/ | 2021-03-05T11:09:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178370752.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20210305091526-20210305121526-00518.warc.gz | en | 0.970487 | 625 | [

Timing is something that none of us can seem to get quite right with relationships. We meet the person of our dreams the month before they leave to go study abroad. We form an incredibly close friendship with an attractive person who is already taken. One relationship ends because our partner isn’t ready to get serious and another ends because they’re getting serious too soon.
“It would be perfect,” We moan to our friends, “If only this were five years from now/eight years sooner/some indistinct time in the future where all our problems would take care of themselves.” Timing seems to be the invariable third party in all of our relationships. And yet we never stop to consider why we let timing play such a drastic role in our lives.
Timing is a bitch, yes. But it’s only a bitch if we let it be. Here’s a simple truth that I think we all need to face up to: the people we meet at the wrong time are actually just the wrong people.
You never meet the right people at the wrong time because the right people are timeless. The right people make you want to throw away the plans you originally had for one and follow them into the hazy, unknown future without a glance backwards. The right people don’t make you hmm and haw about whether or not you want to be with them; you just know. You know that any adventure you had originally planned out for your future isn’t going to be half as incredible as the adventures you could have by their side. That no matter what you thought you wanted before, this is better. Everything is better since they came along.
When you are with the right person, time falls away. You don’t worry about fitting them into your complicated schedule, because they become a part of that schedule. They become the backbone of it. Your happiness becomes your priority and so long as they are contributing to it, you can work around the rest.
The right people don’t stand in the way of the things you once wanted and make you choose them over them. The right people encourage you: To try harder, dream bigger, do better. They bring out the most incredible parts of yourself and make you want to fight harder than ever before. The right people don’t impose limits on your time or your dreams or your abilities. They want to tackle those mountains with you, and they don’t care how much time it takes. With the right person, you have all of the time in the world.
The truth is, when we pass someone up because the timing is wrong, what we are really saying is that we don’t care to spend our time on that person. There will never be a magical time when everything falls into place and fixes all our broken relationships. But there may someday be a person who makes the issue of timing irrelevant.
Because when someone is right for us, we make the time to let them into our lives. And that kind of timing is always right. | <urn:uuid:ba1495d3-c5af-4746-8ce1-4e8d3e3d3943> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://thoughtcatalog.com/heidi-priebe/2014/11/the-truth-about-meeting-someone-at-the-wrong-time/?utm_content=buffera1dc2&utm_medium=thoughtcatalog-main-social&utm_source=facebook&utm_campaign=social | 2021-03-07T03:09:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376006.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307013626-20210307043626-00198.warc.gz | en | 0.96886 | 633 | [

Avalon Ballroom 3/21/69
After the Family Dog left the Avalon Ballroom, a new company named Soundproof Productions held a few shows there. This poster was used to promote a show that featured Santana and the Sons of Champlin. It is well known for the fun, central graphic of a guitar-playing lion riding a surfboard. This particular poster was printed on a very cheap stock and is plagued with problems. The paper is very prone to aging and the ink is fragile and shows wear easily, so finding a clean copy can be quite a challenge. It seems appropriate that this poster should have a printing credit that reads “Rip Off Press!”
The original poster was printed on very thin white stock and measures approximately 14″ x17″.

Organizers: Chris Benn (Event Director), Laurent Mingo (Course Planner), Ingrid Weisenbach (Permit), Kate Karamycheva (Assistant), Joanne Woods (Membership), Gwenn Flowers (Assistant), Ian Collings (Assistant), Jeremy Gordon (Assistant)
Map: Deep Cove
Please come out to the first WJR of 2020 on Sunday 19th January 2020 at Deep Cove. The start and finish are at Cove Cliff Elementary school (NOT the picnic area where we normally start/finish).
The map covers an interesting mixture of parks and urban areas.There will be an added challenge of a mass start for the Full Meal Deal course (elite) and Tough (expert) courses. Laurent has planned the courses such that there are forked controls and also route choices which are very close to each other so you will have to keep track of where you are all the time.
There are also Easy(-ish) and Intermediate courses which will have individual starts.
Because this includes mass starts and is also the first event of the year please note the timetable and arrive in good time.This will allow volunteers to get ready and participate in the event.
Before arriving at the event it will be much appreciated if you could please go to https://zone4.ca/reg.asp?id=22841 and fill your waiver and sign up/renew your GVOC membership.
9.30 am - Registration opens
10 am - Registration closes
Please note that you will have to pay in cash for the event (online payment for events is not set up yet).
- 10 am – 11 am Starts for Easy and Intermediate courses.
- 10.15 am Mass start for "Tough" course
- 10.20 am Mass start for "Full Meal Deal" course
- 12.30 pm course close
- Easy-ish : Just like it sounds. Easy trails and non-forested areas in Deep-Cove. Keep a good focus on your map though.
- Intermediate: a good notch above the previous course. More route choices in open parks and streets, and a total of 3 controls in the forest that are meant to be challenging.
- Tough: Farsta, as fast and furious you want it to be. Forking, loops, and forest.
- Full Meal Deal: Farsta, fast and furious for sure. Forking, loops, and intense forest plus climbs.
There is free parking at the school and nearby streets, as well as 150m to the south in Myrtle Park. Public washrooms are also found at Myrtle Park.
As it stands a week before the event, the forest's ground is its "usual" slippery (wet roots, water saturated ground surface), and so are the many moss-covered surfaces such rock/boulders in some part of the forest. Keep an eye for these.
A lot of interesting weather happened this week! The next weather push seems to be starting with more snow, transitioning to rain on Saturday, but not so bad as it stands now for Sunday morning which could see a break in precip. Expect wet snow on the ground both in forested areas and in parks.
Conditions Update (Jan 18 6:20pm)
Forest, off trail: some wet slushy snow left on forested ground. Ankle deep or less for most part.
Forested Trails: mostly slush
Urban Park trails, school backyards near Start and Finish: bare or **ice** in heavy foot traffic areas
Urban Park field and grass: slush or bare.
Spikes or knobby soles are recommended, Yak Trak or the like may not be a luxury in a few places if you don't have spikes, take it easy on the few remaining ice patches. | <urn:uuid:6f290cf1-a5ba-4378-9c98-46a365b3aeff> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://gvoc.whyjustrun.ca/events/view/4009 | 2021-02-25T16:38:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178351374.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225153633-20210225183633-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.94079 | 782 | [

Just as I suspected, I found a wonderful place to live until I find myself a more permanent home with 12 hours of making it an intention . I found myself feeling guilty about leaving and was hesitant to tell Alice and Chantelle (Justin’s wife and sister) that I had found a place – this was totally not something that was a genuine feeling of the present moment. I felt like it came from a place of keeping myself small, meaning that growing up as the “baby” in the family I often felt guilty for growing up. So this feeling was one of shame around not needing or wanting the protection and support of the family. I did tell them I had found a place and was met with almost no reaction which initially made me wonder if they had understood my English! I told Justin and he had a few questions, but overall all he asked was “How does it feel?” I told him it felt really good and that it is time for me to go. I will be leaving tomorrow morning.
I am reminded of a few months ago when I left my friend Eileen’s home in Nelson, BC, it was time for me to leave and I was acting on that feeling. I went to the Ashram as a place to regroup and see what would reveal itself to me as a next step. At that point in the journey, I had just enough money to get myself to Rwanda and nothing more. When I arrived I immediately felt at home. I wanted to stay until my departure in June but that turned out to be my fear disguised as a secure feeling from being back at my spiritual home where there was love, support and amazing energy. It turned out to be one of the most stressful times I have had at the Ashram yet! I felt like I was, in some ways, using them as a safety net. I even spoke to my Mentor about projecting onto the Ashram a parental role, a way for me to feel protected and safe when really this community could spit me out at any moment, which just about happened this time! There is nothing certain about what goes on in this community other than expect the unexpected and grow from it!
Most of my time spent at the Ashram prior to this moment had been for free (financially), with the exception of paying for the courses I took and the alloted time allowed for extension post course. This time I was told I had to pay. This created all kinds of emotional reactions and responses, which I had the opportunity to explore during my stay. I was able to sit back and watch what happened in my mind and body because of these reactions. For example, I tried to leave instantly and go stay with one of my friends who had offered a place on the east shore and did so several times. I went back and forth between what I was feeling and what I needed. I had to trust that I needed to be there because of the way I felt inside in that moment. So I honored that feeling and reflected on it enough to then see it was the fear I spoke of earlier. It took me 2 1/2 weeks and $580 to figure out I needed to trust what I knew was right and leave.
Once I decided to let go of the attachment to going to Rwanda I was able to see more clearly what I needed in the present moment, which was to take care of myself and step into the fear. So I left and went to stay at the White House Hostel in Nelson while I looked for my next place to live. I was presented with the opportunity to leave the next morning with two male Swami’s who were going into town. What a great way to transition into a next step, literally being taken their by my spiritual teachers and the fact that they were men was very symbolic for me at the time!
Again, more money going out and more trust that if I was meant to go to Rwanda it would all work out. After two days of searching for a place I had a response and went to meet a man who had a room for rent. I was met by a happy, familiar, soothing voice that said “Amanda?” as I opened the door and it was instantly as if we had known each other for years. We talked for 2 hours about the Ashram, Swami Radha, spiritual living and life in general. I went back to the hostel to “sleep on it” and I woke up with “YES!” in my mind. I was even more surprised to find that he had sent an email offering me the room for free. It was clearly a sign. After living in many homes and many ways I have learned what makes me feel balanced and so I offered him money anyway as a symbolic gesture of taking care of myself but also wanted to honor what his heart was telling him as well, we came to an agreement and the deal was done. I moved in the next day to a wonderful home and family that held and supported me in exactly the ways I needed and in ways I didn’t know I needed. It was during this time that I found the courage to file sexual assault charges from 7 years earlier. I had very intentionally put myself in a living situation with a man to help me grow and it turned out to be much bigger than I expected. The healing that took place from my time with my new (old) friend Aaron was exactly what I needed to heal before coming to Rwanda.
So what is it that I will find with this next step…..I do not know. What I do know is that I am consciously dealing with confidence to step out into teaching Yoga, dance and really embracing my gifts. After one comment I received today on a forum in response to my ad about offering my skills and visiting a web site for a place to teach, I found myself shaken and momentarily feeling anxious and “not good” enough. I allowed this to happen only until I noticed it and then let it go. I am on a journey and I am making amazing leaps. I want to use the comments and people that make me feel inferior as motivation to keep going and to learn from. So I breath, I review what I know to be true for myself and I come back to my center. This fear is not mine, it feels like another layer that has been put on me and I am ready to shed.
At the new place last night, I met one of the young women that lives there and her family, who were visiting from France. It was her birthday, she will be 21 this weekend and she is living in Rwanda by herself – sounds pretty brave. Her mother looked at the woman I was touring the house with and said “If anything happens, you’ll take care of her right? She’s only young.” I looked at Alex (21) and she rolled her eyes, her shoulders slumped, she sank down in her chair and I knew in that moment exactly how she felt. I know this scene well as these things have been said to me my whole life, both verbally and non-verbally. People telling me I could not do things on my own, which always made me feel incredibly angry and frustrated. I acted from this place of anger and it led to me making spiteful choices instead of heartfelt ones. I was constantly trying to prove I was responsible (ie: Lifeguard, Nursing), capable and wanting to be taken seriously by those around me. Now I know it is my responsibility to navigate my own emotions and not let them make my decisions for me.
When I got sick I handed my responsibilities over to my parents because I needed help in order to heal, which I am incredibly grateful to them for, but it is difficult to come out from underneath of as it seems they see me as more weak and incapable than ever before. What I know is that I am stronger because of being able to admit I was ill, being vulnerable and asking for help. I know the work I have done and how strong I am and always have been. It is still and always has been about me finding the inner confidence and taking MYSELF seriously, not about proving anything to anyone else. This is one of my biggest barriers to success. I feel that I am taking steps towards actually taking myself seriously by doing whatever I have to in order to stay where I know I need to be and putting myself in situations that make me feel that “you are not good enough” feeling. When I hear that Mantra begin to sound in my mind I can acknowledge it, talk to it, listen to it and understand it because somehow it served me in the past. The goal being to move it out of my mind by replacing it with the updated version of who I am now, which is “I am good enough!”
Next step: Move into new place and keep looking for a permanent place. Build my confidence by putting my strengths to the test and giving myself what I need to move in the seriously awesome potential that lies within!

A classic old salvaged galvanised riveted red water tank. The original (likely) red oxide paint has now faded beautifully creating a lovely patina to this tank. The heavy riveting along all four corners - together with the triangular corner plates give a timeless industrial feel. Once a common feature in every home, time has seen these domestic stalwarts become collectable. Now a favourite of the gardener and interior designer to display shrubs and flowers in the garden or conservatory - or as a feature in a restaurant or retail setting.
The walls of this tank have thinned over time resulting in pinholes through the steel around the sides. Still servicable as a planter but will no longer hold water without a liner.Want to know more? - use the Sales Enquiry tab | <urn:uuid:b1c65f5e-8a08-4fce-b99f-050817d0f832> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.warehouse701.co.uk/old-salvaged-galvanised-riveted-red-water-tank | 2021-02-27T05:55:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178358203.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227054852-20210227084852-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.917715 | 160 | [

The Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate has sent a Letter to Parliament about their vision for a sustainable basic industry by 2050, titled Sustainability of the basic industry; an opportunity for the Netherlands.
It illustrates how Dutch, European and global climate policy represents a fundamental change for industry. By 2050, industrial production must become climate neutral. At the same time, it is also clear that the world will still need basic industrial products by 2050. We will continue to drive, travel, dress, use medicines; all possible thanks to basic industry.
With this vision, the Dutch government outlines a new perspective for a sustainable, climate-neutral basic industry in the Netherlands. The transition to climate neutrality requires great efforts from companies and government: both financially and in terms of cooperation, with an active coordinating role for the national government.
On the other hand, there are enormous opportunities for the Dutch economy and for the Dutch contribution to solving the challenges of climate change. With a transition from its own basic industry, the Netherlands can become the breeding ground and accelerator for sustainable industry worldwide and at the same time strengthen its strategic position in industrial value chains.
The Letter to Parliament is the first part of a two-part vision for industry in 2050. The second part will be focused at the manufacturing industry. The latter will be published after summer. | <urn:uuid:c9e6473c-be1f-4056-9261-788b89f2bfee> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://ispt.eu/news/letter-to-parliament-sustainability-of-basic-industry/ | 2021-02-28T18:04:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361723.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228175250-20210228205250-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.935352 | 267 | [

Guest post by Sujana Wilson
Most moms start pumping either with a manual pump or an electric pump! Depending on your lifestyle both can work.
If you think electric pumps make your life easier, hands-free pumps might make it even better! However, many moms and even me to a certain point kept asking whether hand-free pumps are really worth it. I tried to look at some of the good and annoying sides of hands-free pumps! And it should be enough to draw a conclusion.
The Good Sides of Hands-Free Breast Pumps
1. Perfect for Managing Digital Life
As a work from home mom, it’s tough to manage pumping with a regular stationary pump. Especially, when your living depends on typing/writing and stuff. We all have a digital life to manage and a hands-free pump can really make a difference.
You can’t type with one hand and sometimes, the emails remain unanswered for hours. When I switched to hands-free pumping, I was able to completely focus on working and the pump did its own magic. Totally, stress-free breast milk without compromising work.
2. Multitasking at Home and Office
I know I know! You can do your work after pumping. But it’s not just one session you are looking at. For someone with a work-life balance to maintain, multitasking is crucial. You might be in a meeting in the office or on a Zoom conference. It’s not convenient to pump in those situations. However, going hands-free makes it easier to do those tasks and a lot of stuff altogether without keeping the baby hungry.
I can take a walk, answer the phone, open the door, and even feed the dog!
3. Make Time for Chores
The mundane tasks like cleaning and laundry become less important when you are pumping exclusively. In the first few months after pregnancy, I used to leave those tasks for my husband or the maid. But as days went by and the load of the chores increased, I had to take a stand. So, when I changed my breast pump to a hands-free version, I could get those tasks done! Well, not completely. But I was able to contribute at least twice than before.
4. Discreet Traveling
The best hands-free breast pumps are those that remain discreet when you wear them under your dress. It’s also one of the top reasons why moms buy such pumps! If your lifestyle is outdoor-oriented and you need to travel frequently or spend a long time traveling/commuting to work, you might want to make use of the time. A hands-free wearable pump remains discreet and you can easily pump in public without making a few eyebrows raise. In my days, I was able to add at least 2-3 extra sessions daily because of this.
5. Finally, You Can Cook
When you have just a single baby to take care of things get easy. In my case, with two other kids below 6 years, I had to find a way to feed them. Canned and restaurant foods were not the option. Kids of this age need healthy and homemade food. Pumping with one hand and cooking is pretty much impossible. I tried it and it failed. Just imagine, you are holding the pump in one hand, stirring noodles with another hand, and now you need to open the jar for spices. It’s a fact! You can cook with a hands-free breast pump without any issues.
6. More Time for Yourself
Besides cooking, chores, and taking care of the baby, you also need time for yourself. I used to love reading novels, stories, and books on just about everything. But after delivery, I just couldn’t make time for myself. Sometimes, I thought of watching the TV, taking a walk to my neighbors, and random things like that. It became a reality when I got the hands-free pump. And, suddenly my life became more spontaneous.
7. Freedom to Relax
Going hands-free might not give you the ultimate freedom. You still need to make sure that you are sitting properly or not leaning too much and stuff like that. But when you have your two hands unoccupied, I think that’s freedom! The list of things you can get done with just the hands is huge. I didn’t know until I had to breastfeed my baby. With some pumps, you can even lean back without any issues. So, you can rest your back and enjoy the time pumping.
The Annoying Stuff
1. Limited Discretion With Larger Breasts
One of the most annoying things about hands-free pumps is they aren’t much discreet when you have larger breasts. Well, I didn’t go through such issues, but a lot of mom does. The problem is when you have large breasts and on top of that a pump clinging on to them, it looks ugly and odd. For working moms, that’s something to consider if discretion is a necessity for you and you have big breasts to handle.
2. The Issues With Pumping Bra
A good pumping bra can sometimes become mandatory with a hands-free pump. That’s alright for a one-time investment. However, a woman’s body after pregnancy is unpredictable and the sizes of her breasts will keep changing. This can be frustrating and sometimes expensive as you will need to buy new pumping bras. The better option could be an adjustable bra with various sizing options. What’s more frustrating is some hands-free pumps require different sorts of bras and you will need to buy from the brand itself. So, your regular ones won’t fit with it.
The Final Verdict
It’s clear! The pros outnumber the cons when it comes to hands-free pumping. The issues with large breasts and pumping bras are minimal when it comes to the level of freedom you get with such pumps.
Yes, it’s definitely worth buying a hands-free pump! Without a doubt. All you have to do is pump like a pro now. | <urn:uuid:ec405809-b6c5-40e2-a975-ba7094d724f3> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://yogajanda.com/are-hands-free-breast-pumps-really-worth-it/ | 2021-02-28T17:58:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361723.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228175250-20210228205250-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.962153 | 1,265 | [

The Native Language Community Coordination (NLCC) project furthers the vision of ANA’s Native Languages Preservation and Maintenance Program through the establishment of cooperative agreements with site-based educational programs to demonstrate evidence-based strategies that integrate Native language and educational services within a specific community. The NLCC project emphasizes a community’s potential to integrate stand-alone language programs into a broader educational system that can offer a continuum of Native language instruction from pre-school through post-secondary education.
The NLCC Cohort includes the five (5) cooperative agreement recipients. They are connected through their spirit of learning, knowledge sharing and collaboration. In addition, they are connected as individuals, groups within their communities, and their own organizational development. The NLCC Cohort began its fifth year on July 1, 2020.

When we were first starting out and we were living paycheck to paycheck, we were trying to figure out how to cut corners in the hope of coming out ahead. We went to the accountant for help. I was working. My husband was working. It was a second marriage and we were starting over together from scratch and I had a daughter. I had a long commute. He had a start up agency.
My husband suggested that we get rid of the cleaning lady. Before I could respond, our male accountant, leaned across the table. He got in my husband’s face, literally. He said in an authoritative voice: ” You get cheap haircuts. You don’t eat out. You don’t buy Starbuck’s. But you NEVER get rid of the cleaning lady.”
When my stepson’s wife went back to work, I told him that story. I don’t think he listened and today, he is divorced. After my daughter got married and moved back from California, we gave her the money for a cleaning lady the second she was due to give birth. Later that year, I suggested that we pay for a cleaning lady every other week as our anniversary gift to them. To this day, five years later, around her anniversary, she reminds us that that is the BEST anniversary gift and so it is! | <urn:uuid:d8fee2c3-dca7-4c83-8299-a335dcaf2989> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://ragingagainstaging.blog/2017/11/10/here-is-another-random-thought-that-is-good-advice-to-pass-on/ | 2021-03-04T00:27:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178367949.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303230849-20210304020849-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.992917 | 281 | [

A guide will accompany you each day as you walk between 6 and 16 km. Please note that shorter options are available on some days. Preparing physically and having a moderate level of fitness will make your tour all the more enjoyable.
The itinerary may alter depending on local conditions and weather.
Day 1 Drive from Melbourne, walk Apollo bay to Shelly Beach
Departing from Melbourne 8:00am along the spectacular Great Ocean Road, we reach Apollo Bay by lunch time. Enjoy the first of many fresh picnic lunches for the week on the lawn at Marengo Beach, get to know your companions for the week and see if you can spot some Australian Fur Seals out on the rocks.
The walk today is relatively easy with mostly cliff-top and some beach walking. Keep an eye out for Koalas!
Note, as we walk on the first afternoon, please wear your hiking clothes on the bus and bring your day pack ready to go. After our walk the bus will meet us at Shelly Beach carpark and then we will drive to Cape Otway.
Day 2 Blanket Bay to Aire Inlet
16km (6+10km options)
A short drive brings us to the start of the morning’s 6 km walk at Blanket Bay. This isolated part of the coastline has some of the only swimmable beaches along the Great Ocean Walk. We make our way through coastal forests and along clifftops to Parker Hill where the bus will be waiting.
From Parker Hill we’ll drive back to Cape Otway Lightstation and, for those with some fuel in the tank, we’ll head out for another beautiful walk from our front door and head out along the cliff-lines of Station Beach. The views here are superb and this section of the walk is all recently constructed and quite gentle.
By the end of our walk we’ll be down at one of the most scenic spots on the walk, the Aire River estuary, with the green rolling hills of the Otways as our backdrop. On our way back to the Cape Otway Lightstation we might stop for some up close and personal koala spotting.
You do have the option of foregoing the 1st (6 km) or 2nd (10 km) section of the walk if you feel you’ve walked far enough.
Day 3 Milanesia to Moonlight Head
The walk today will start at Milanesia Gate from where we descend down to the first highlight of today, which is Milanesia Beach. This is one of those secret beaches not many people get to. The track then cuts through and alternates between farmland and isolated beach and sea cliffs with roller coasters of up and down to reach Ryan’s Den. From here you’ll have breathtaking views all the way back to Cape Otway and west to Cape Volney. From Ryan’s Den the trail then continues through coastal forests over Cape Volney towards Moonlight Head.
Day 4 Princetown to the 12 Apostles
After packing up and departing Cape Otway Lightstation, we will make our way to the start of the walk in Princetown. The wetlands around Princetown support a wide variety of bird life, where we will cross the Gellibrand River on a trestle bridge to embark on one of our last sections to the 12 Apostles. A pleasant walk through coastal scrub and escarpment will start to reveal stunning views of the 12 Apostles. We will end our walk today at Gibson’s steps where you can choose to go for a dip if conditions allow.
From Gibson’s steps it is a very quick transfer to the 12 Apostles where you will have some time to explore and take pictures of these magnificent limestone stacks. You may even opt to go on a short helicopter flight to get a birds eye view.
After lunch and exploring the 12 Apostles area, we will make our way back to Melbourne, stopping en route for some afternoon tea. | <urn:uuid:184353eb-32e2-47d9-abe6-e73aedfc5dea> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.inspirationoutdoors.com.au/tours/highlights-great-ocean-walk-walking-tour/ | 2021-03-04T00:45:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178367949.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303230849-20210304020849-00558.warc.gz | en | 0.919529 | 821 | [

1 – Extract the downloaded zip from Revapk
2 – Install and run SAI software (presented in the download package)
3- In SAI software Click “Install Apks” and select the extracted folder in the popup window.
4 – At this point you should check the original game and split files – Check each file you see in the extracted folder and at then click on “SELECT” button to start the installation.
After installing and running the game on your device you will get original, official and universal version of the game without any manipulation and the tasks of “Connecting the game to Google Account” and “Google Play Update” and … without any errors. . We’re also worried about this, but there is no other way for it, and we have to present the files in this way, and we hope so, you guys don’t have any trouble running the game. | <urn:uuid:2707d39f-ed3e-48a7-82d1-ec95605b6eea> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://revapk.com/caravan-war-kingdom-of-conquest-apk-download/ | 2021-03-05T16:13:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178373095.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20210305152710-20210305182710-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.901781 | 906 | [

Trailer and Towing Supplies
While the owner/operator of Ted's Liquors went over and above to help me, there was a complete breakdown with U-Haul. And I didn't appreciate to have to pay upfront.
not change pick up location from reservation
There needs to be a posting about the $25 cleaning fee. It is not mentioned anywhere in the contract. And was rather upsetting to get when we only had the vehicle for 1.5 hours and returned exactly as we received it. The cleaning fee was more then the rental.
The vehicle was extremely dirty. Had to clean from out of pocket. The operators are not basically knowledgeable about the workings of U-Haul. But the most crucial thing is the cleanliness of the vehicle. It's a solid truck but not well cared for.
Great customer service. Very convenient
When I originally called to confirm my reservation, they told me they did not have a truck for me. This was very stressful since I had a four hour window to move.
Absolutely love these people, they're great!! I would definitely rent from them again in the future!
The entire process from UHaul was terrible. I asked for a specific pick up location and the day prior to pick up I was given another pick up location. Then on the day of pick up a was given a third pick up location (Teds Liquors) and when I got there I was told there was no truck for me to pick up. Teds called someone who released the ONE truck that was at that location.
We were billed for an extra day because the agent did not clock us in as dropping it off at the correct time. Said he would handle it later. Should have known. The inconvenience of asking for a refund was not a hassle, Uhaul refunded if to us, but if I didn't check, I would have been charged. Uhaul agents were very helpful, the drop off store could have been more precise recording the arrival of the truck.
The location tried to overcharge me and had to call UHAUL to get the prices correct, which took about 20 minutes. Once that was figured out, it was an ok experience but I would not use that location again.
Very friendly staff, and excellent support
Friendly and helpful staff.
No conversation. Just took the keys and said ok? No explanation of what i had to do next
It was very difficult to get the rental from this retailer. Once we got the truck, we saw there was a pile of dirt in the truck. Luckily, at my apartment I had a broom because we had to fully sweep the truck before putting my items inside. Not clean at all.
This wasn't the location's fault, but the system was down when they tried to process my credit card. I had to wait maybe 15 minutes for the system to come back up while people were at my house waiting to help me move.
This is the only location I will use from now on! It was a last minute emergency when my plan fell through. I was signed up and on my way in a half hour. The person who helped me was so nice I felt like we were friends. Perfect experience
Did not feel safe, staff did not adhere to masking requirements.
The parking lot was very small. We had the 26 foot truck.
Was on a schedule and they were 1/2 hr late opening up
Personnel not pleasant
They tried to charge me for 2 days instead of one and then tried to charge me for a dirty truck when it wasn't. I would rather carry my stuff by pack mule than rent a truck from this place!
Made 2 reservations and still had to wait for a truck
Took over 30 mins to get a truck and they kept saying it was my fault. Then the manager came in and did it in 2 minutes.
Upon arrival and providing proof of a reservation and the email showing assignment of my reservation to this location, the clerk continually insisted he did not have a 15' truck for me even though it was obviously on the lot and continually tried to give me a 10' truck and insisted they were almost the same size. It was not until his supervisor finally came in that I was able to get the truck I needed. | <urn:uuid:1f9780fe-9a76-4c83-8af5-8e14efa07feb> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.uhaul.com/Locations/Trailer-Rentals-near-Wilmington-DE-19804/032158/ | 2021-03-05T17:06:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178373095.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20210305152710-20210305182710-00238.warc.gz | en | 0.980718 | 1,392 | [

Yes, I appeal to you, dear reader, because I’m deeply convinced that the ability to express feelings through art is inherent in every person and is as natural as expressing thoughts through language.
I often hear: "I'm not sure - I think I have no talent for painting!"
Yes, we may not be as talented as Shakespeare but that does not stop our desire to speak, write, or to declare love, nor does it make us dumb.
Therefore let's set our insecurities about own imperfections aside and begin to learn how to express our emotions with the brush and paint! And remember it seems to be "scary" and "difficult" only when you do not know how to do it ... It is just as difficult to write a word when you do not know the letters.
So let's learn!
This book includes seven fascinating lessons in watercolour painting with interactive elements and video inserts:
1. Basic brushstrokes
2. Feather brushstroke
3. Roses and buds
5. Deciduous trees
6. Coniferous trees
7. Marine (seascape)

One of the only 80 remaining Royal Bengal Tigers was barbarically killed with spears by terrified tribal men after it strayed into their village and attacked a wild boar.
The near extinct adult tiger had been roaming the forests of Jangalmahal, Jhargram and Bankura in West Bengal in eastern in India for more than two months and several attempts by forest officials to capture the beast had failed.
On Friday morning, some tribal men who were out for cutting wood in the jungle were shocked to see a wild boar and the tiger involved in a fierce fight. Before they could even react and call others for help, the tiger had killed its prey and started devouring it.
Hundreds of villagers flocked into the forest after the news of the wild beast’s presence broke. The forest department was also informed but it took more than three hours to reach and rescue the tiger.
Enraged with the forest department’s delay to capture the animal and petrified with the wild cat’s presence in their village, more than 100 tribal hunters from the local villages reportedly decided to take on the 220kg weighing beast themselves with native weapons like lance, bow and arrows.
Two hunters- Badal Hansda, 16, and Babu Hansda, 35, came face-to-face with the tiger and attacked its face repeatedly with spears until it died. They too were injured in the incident.
An eyewitness Shambu Nath said:” We saw the giant tiger and a boar fighting in the middle of the jungle. The boar was big and must weighed 1.5 quintal but the tiger killed it and started eating its flesh.
“In the past, several attempts by forest department officials were made to capture the tiger that had been roaming around nearby villages for two months but they had failed. Once it was even trapped in the net but somehow it tore apart and ran away.
“We were all shocked and petrified to see the scene of the tiger eating the boar. We were worried if the tiger starts living in this jungle how will we work.”
When the forest officers reached, the tiger was found with a spear piercing its face and blood oozing out of its face, nose and ears.
Its carcass was brought to nearby Midnapore but, before that, foresters had to quell an agitation by villagers who demanded £ 318 to lift the animal and accused foresters of not doing enough to trap the tiger for over two months.
A post-mortem report revealed the animal was also hit several times on the head with a blunt object. The viscera report is awaited.
Ravi Kant Sinha,Chief Conservation of Forest said: “We could not catch it after all our efforts. The tiger died of spear injuries. We are following all standard protocols for the tiger-autopsy will be done. We are trying to track the people who have killed it.”
The incident has brought into light the failure of the forest officials to catch the tiger alive despite several attempts of laying down traps to installing drone cameras to track the movement of the tiger. The expert forest officials were also brought from the Sunderbans to catch the big cat.
The Royal Bengal tiger, which had kept on eluding Lalgarh villagers and forest officials for more than one and a halfmonth, was caught by two tribal hunters on March 30 but then the big cat fled again by tearing apart the net before the forest officialsarrived. | <urn:uuid:2b4bae79-9b47-4f5e-a779-650ba6bd5f38> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.storytrender.com/50212/one-of-only-80-remaining-rare-royal-bengal-tigers-barbarically-killed-by-petrified-tribal-hunters-with-spears-after-it-strayed-into-their-forest-and-hunted-boar/ | 2021-02-25T23:46:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178355937.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225211435-20210226001435-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.985474 | 725 | [

Buying a car is amongst the developmental ideas that a person can have. When you buy your own car you will avoid the hustle of fighting for public transportation means and you will also be in a position to reach to your destinations with ease. You must be aware of different types of cars that are on display so that when buying your car you will select the one that will be within your class. You need to ensure that you already have a plan of the kind of the car you want for you to meet your dreams or satisfy your desires. When buying a car, you need to look at the following guidelines.
Ensure that you consider the budget. You should make sure that you know how much the car you want to buy cost. Its good to select the car according to your financial strength because their prices are different and hence it’s only you that can know what is fit for you. In the event that you require a car but the money isn’t enough, there are different financial institutions that you can take a loan from. Its good to set your standard well because it’s you alone that can know what you will spend and you will not regret later. You should buy your car after good research so that you will get a car dealer that has reasonable prices.
Another thing to look at is to look for a good seller. There are several dealers who can sell a car to you and you need to choose a car that is the best and you should be sure that the dealer doesn’t force you to purchase what you do not want. Not every car dealer in the market is genuine so you have to select your car dealer wisely.
What kind of a car do you want. You must have made a decision on the model of the car you will buy. Research is one of the things that you will have to conduct prior to buying a car for that will help you make a decision based on the facts. Other than having the money to buy a certain kind of car, you should also be sure that you can sustain the needs of that car since they also have different needs after you have bought the car. There are some cars that will give you a hard time when it comes to repairing whereby you want to replace any part and this is something that you must be very keen on. | <urn:uuid:ad5f17d0-48d6-4a20-bff4-aa2017d83687> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://diggerhistory2.info/2020/11/03/learning-the-secrets-about-2/ | 2021-02-27T09:02:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178358798.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227084805-20210227114805-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.981231 | 469 | [

Mike Smith piloting Justify to become the 13th Triple Crown winner. Photo: Adam Coglianese.
Gilbert, AZ – June 14, 2018 – American Equus rode into history with longtime sponsored rider Mike Smith as he and Justify swept the 150th Belmont Stakes on Saturday, making them only the 13th horse and rider pair to win the coveted Triple Crown. A crowd of 90,000 cheering fans, as well as millions of television viewers hoping to see a repeat of American Pharaoh’s historic 2015, went wild as the pair broke from the gate and led the entire field around the historic Belmont Park. American Equus is proud to have carried Smith on his journey with Justify to win the triple crown and solidify his place in horse racing history.
“If you had asked me two years ago, when I founded American Equus, if we would have not only won the richest single race in horseracing, but also the Triple Crown, I would have said ‘absolutely not’,” commented David Shano, Founder of American Equus. “Working with Mike [Smith] has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. American Equus is honored by his support of company, unwavering belief in our irons, and to have helped him effectively ride this incredible horse to the biggest victory in his incredible career.”
From his very first race, Justify has been nothing short of incredible. The chestnut stallion, owned by China Horse Club, WinStar Farm, and SF Racing, and trained by Bob Baffert, completed the mile and a half on a fast track in 2 minutes 28.18 seconds and became the second undefeated Triple Crown winner, since with Seattle Slew in 1977. Justify has handily won six straight G1 races since beginning his competitive career only four months ago.
“The Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes were certainly less than ideal conditions to race in,” said Smith. “In the Preakness especially, Justify jumped the tracks a couple of times and my foot never slipped. The American Equus irons keep my ride smooth and solid and almost like I am standing on the ground. They definitely make all the difference.”
“Big Money Mike” Smith is considered one of the most successful and influential riders in the sport, with over 5,300 victories and total purse earnings topping $312,243,585. He has held a place in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame since 2003 and has secured wins in two Derby’s, two Preakness’s, two Belmont’s and a record 26-Breeders’ Cup races, as well as the Pegasus Cup, and Dubai World Cup. At an unbelievable 52 years old, Smith now has the distinction of becoming the oldest jockey to win the Triple Crown.
“American Equus is looking forward to many more races with Mike and continuing our relationship of success for many years to come. For as long as Mike wants to race, American Equus will be there to make sure he is as safe and competitive as possible,” commented Shano.

Members of Trinity Episcopal in Bend, OR were stunned to find their church devastated by an early morning fire. They gathered behind the crime tape and tried to take in the scene.
Parishioner Ginger Sanders took this photo:
A press release from the Diocese says that members of the congregation won’t be able to assess the amount of fire, smoke and water damage until investigators complete their work. Besides the two buildings on the Trinity campus, fires were set at two nearby house, two cars and a shed. “Somebody went on a real rampage,” said The Rev. Roy Green, interim rector.
An update page can be found on the Trinity Bend website.
KTVZ.com reports on the fire, excerpted below:
Someone may have set fire to their place of worship. Broken windows, blackened walls and a caving roof are left behind.
“It makes me angry,” said (Carol) Zeigler (married there in 1954). “I don’t know why people have to get their kicks by hurting people. They’re sick.”
And perhaps the people hurt the most are those who were threatened with losing a hot meal. Family Kitchen served more than 50,000 meals just last year. Lunch for the homeless is given out three times a week and dinner is served up twice a week.
“I’m just shocked that someone would do this,” said Family Kitchen Program Coordinator Cindy Tidball. “What an awful thing for someone to do. I just really can’t believe it. I am really just in shock.
But the goodness of others in the community also shone through.
All four Subways in Bend donated two platters of sandwiches, so that Family Kitchen volunteers could still hand out food to the homeless. Hooker Creek donated time and equipment to get generators running, to save five freezers and three refrigerators full of food.
Rev. Roy Green says in all of his time, he’s never seen anything like this happen to his own church.
“It makes me angry,” said Green. “You feel wounded and violated. But we’re in the resurrection business. So we will gather ’round, come close and get through this and rebuild.”
As the smoke lifted, all the church members had to do was look up at the cross still standing tall atop the building, by the damaged roof, to know their faith was not swayed by tragedy.
“All will be well,” said Green. “It will be a bumpy road for awhile, but all will be well.” | <urn:uuid:3a47f638-237a-4062-ab58-b00c2aa4ab54> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.episcopalcafe.com/fire_shocks_trinity_episcopal_in_bend_or/ | 2021-03-01T01:46:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361808.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228235852-20210301025852-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.980514 | 558 | [

First off there is Cazwell; this old school rapper/hip-hop artist of the homosexual persuasion spins some wicked tunes. he is based in New York City and has been central to the underground dance scene; he has even co-stared with Lady GaGa while she was still just a quirky student at NYU. When I first listened to him I could of sworn he was a British rapper, or from the early 90’s but he , by his own admission part of the old school; which for me is a plus. Most rap and hip hop of current makes me want to cry for their trite puns overtly sexual in nature and mind numbing repetitions nature behooves me greatly. Yet with Cazwell I can listen to his entire album with out the least bit of a complaint. He is also awful sweet and his lyrics are either ridiculously funny or sexual in a way that doesn't make you feel sleazy for listening to it, good music all a round.
Second There is his friend Amanda Leopore, who is the world’s self-proclaimed number one transsexual; the embodiment of fierceness pulled though the glamor of Marilyn Monroe with a fantastical dosing of Jessica rabbit I might say. though music is not here main career focus she as dabbled in music scene with the help and collaborations of others. She has been the cover girl for MAC and other cosmetics companies and has lost count of all the surgeries she has had in the pursuit of fabulousness. Her fame is mostly due to her staple presences in New York night clubs. She is heading Mardi Gras in Australia this year.
Third there is Cameron Carpenter, he doesn't like labels and is firmly in the whatever-sexual category. He would be some geeky/OCD version of a cross between Adam Lambert and Johann Sebastian Bach. He is the only person who I can say shreds hardcore on an organ; seriously this guy is like inhuman with a keyboard.

Hi, I'm Elli!
I'm a documentary wedding, engagement, and lifestyle photographer based in Los Angeles. I love capturing all of the little candid moments that, when put together, tell a story. My favorite times to photograph are the first and last hour of light.
My photography journey started in music photography in 2014 and I still have a commercial lifestyle and music photography business that you can check out here. Some select clients include Adidas, Toms Shoes, Honda, NYLON, Fisher Price and ORLY.
However, once I photographed my first wedding in 2014, I was hooked. I have now photographed close to 100 weddings and elopements over the past 7 years and have been featured in Ruffled Blog, 100 Layer Cake, A Practical Wedding, and Santa Barbara Weddings. I photograph weddings often from Santa Barbara to Joshua Tree but love to travel and will travel anywhere in the world to document your love.
I smile ALL the time. I'm not really awake until the 6th sip of coffee in the morning. Music is a huge passion of mine, from hobbyist guitar playing to shooting live bands. I spend as much time as possible outdoors! I once surfed in the morning and snowboarded in the afternoon. Originally from New York, currently residing in Los Angeles, but travel often. And I'm half-Greek!
For the last 10 years, I have only eaten meat if I know where it came from and was humanely raised (yes, like Portlandia!). In February 2020 I began working on an urban farm a couple of days a week because I wanted to know where my food was coming from and be a better home gardener.

Here’s how the Baptist Times reported how I’m playing my part to see 400 new Baptist Pioneers over the next 5 years.
Duffett boost for Pioneer Collective
Baptists Together and BMS World Mission back the Pioneer Collective vision with three years of financial support which will enable regular direct involvement from Chris Duffett
Baptists Together and BMS are each providing £6,000 per year to enable Chris to spend this time in a variety of ways:
1. Being an ambassador for the Pioneer Collective, raising its profile through networking, teaching and training opportunities amongst Baptists Together.
2. Working with Associations and Partnerships helping them to develop unique strategies for identifying, training and release pioneers within their contexts.
3. Working with Regional Ministers to identify a ‘Pioneering Champion’ within each Association to be an advocate for pioneers and help see these strategies implemented.
4. Providing 10 days of training each year for Baptist churches and leaders helping them to engage with pioneering projects and release the pioneers within their own congregations.
5. Arranging short gatherings twice a year for the growing cohort of pioneers to share stories and mutual support.
‘I am delighted that Baptists Together and BMS have been able to support the vision of the Pioneer Collective in this way,’ said Simon. ‘Releasing Chris will significantly impact our ability to identify and encourage these new Baptist pioneers and, we pray, also contribute towards renewal in the wider life of our Union.’ | <urn:uuid:1aef690e-37f7-4f53-932b-e4c235ac5491> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://chrisduffett.com/2014/04/28/money-invested-in-the-pioneer-collective/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2021-03-04T05:40:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178368608.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304051942-20210304081942-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.916211 | 312 | [

Wrote a fic for dvancecinco’s birthday
Cherries – Mycroft surprises Greg on his birthday.
teaser below the cut
Greg slammed his car door closed. Another late night. They’d made some effort to acknowledge his birthday at the Yard, but they’d been called out as soon as the donuts were opened. It was all fine. Another bad one off the streets, but it made for a long day. He dragged himself tiredly up the walk to his flat.
Mycroft had told Greg he was gone all week, so when he unlocked the door he expected an empty flat. Instead a mouthwatering smell came from the kitchen.
“I thought you had a conference,” he said, hanging up his coat.
“It is your birthday,” said Mycroft, stepping out of the kitchen. His suit coat was off and sleeves rolled up, a tasteful apron protecting his clothes.
“I had no idea you could cook.” Greg stepped over and kissed him gently.
“I can when the occasion requires. I made your favorite. Please, have a seat.” He had his tiny long-suffering smile on. It made Greg wonder how long he’d been planning this.

The squat has always been the best overall leg exercise working all of the muscles of the lower body. Until now, the only way to perform this great exercise was to use a barbell, which is difficult and can be dangerous due to lack of balance. The Powertec Leverage Squat/Calf L-SC13 machine duplicates the precise pattern of the squat but instead utilizes a lever arm rather than the bar. With the Powertec Leverage Squat Calf L-SC13 you receive the benefit of the proper feel and natural resistance of a barbell with the control and safety of a machine. The Powertec Leverage Squat Calf L-SC13 incorporates a “Patent Pending” start/stop handle that allows you to begin and finish the exercise in the top position. There are two large diamond plate platforms for angle of flatfooted squats. The angle position really allows for perfect and comfortable motion eliminating much of the stress on the lower back. The removable calf block comes standard with the unit and allows for standing calf raises to be performed. | <urn:uuid:e7d4491f-9a26-49fd-a3a0-df2d0bb0bab0> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://efitdirect.com/shop/powertec-levergym-squat-calf/ | 2021-03-05T20:02:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178373241.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20210305183324-20210305213324-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.923914 | 217 | [

“These bibs number twice that of the two major parties combined,” said organizer Jim Keenan.
The race will take place two days before the national election on Sunday Nov. 6th at Sherwood Island State Park at 9:30am.
“The runners are getting a kick out of picking their own bibs and knowing the overall results will also predict the presidential winners that Tuesday,” said Keenan.
Runners can register online up to November 1st at noon but pay $5 extra if they register at the race.
“We might run out of certain bib designs and if that’s the case, they get a write-in bib,” said an amused Keenan. “Sorry, no absentee bibs.”
The entry fee not only includes a patriotic race gift but a ticket to The Great Mac and Chili Challenge which follows the race where they will enjoy unlimited samples of chili and mac n’ cheese, and vote on their favorites.
“Not many races include such great food and we love combining the two events and keeping everything in the election theme. Now if these two events don’t make America great, what does?” Keenan inquired.
The restaurants represented in the Great Mac and Chili Challenge include Bogey’s of Norwalk, Chef’s Table of Fairfield, Chilibomb of Fairfield, DrewbaQ food truck, Firehouse Grill of Monroe, Geronimo of Fairfield and New Haven, Hoodoo Brown of Ridgefield, Hub & Spoke of Black Rock Bridgeport, Judy’s Bar & Kitchen of Stamford, Liquid Lunch of Milford and Shelton, Little Pub of Greenwich, Fairfield, Ridgefield and Wilton, Old Post Tavern of Fairfield, Simply Delicious of Norwalk, Stewart’s Market of New Canaan, The Blind Rhino of Norwalk and Tru North of Black Rock Bridgeport.
Racers get to preview the event which opens to the public at 11:00am. The Farmer’s Cow will be on hand to serve both milk and ice cream to the racers as well.
The race itself will be conducted by Marty Schavione, veteran race director who conducts some of the more popular footraces in Fairfield County.
“I think runners will really enjoy this unique race. It’s so different than most they enter and they’ll be part of a fun way to predict the next president. It’s also a great deal as they’ll be fed incredible comfort food after the race,” Schiavone said.

LAWRENCE — It may be too early for most Democrats to know which candidate they will back, but they do know what they want in a candidate. And that was something US Senator Elizabeth Warren failed to address in her presidential kickoff Saturday.
By far the top priority for Democratic voters, according to a CNN poll out this week, is a candidate who has a “good chance to beat Trump.”
This was just the latest poll showing that attribute is more important than having the right experience, or being progressive, or being on the right side of generational change.
A number of announced and potential 2020 presidential candidates are already making a case for why she or he is best positioned to beat Trump.
In New Hampshire Friday night, Senator Sherrod Brown noted that he has consistently won all corners of that ultimate swing state, Ohio. Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg boasts he has the money to run a serious campaign and proven crossover appeal — he first got elected mayor as a Republican, after all. Former vice president Joe Biden pitches his connection to the white working class that rejected Hillary Clinton, particularly in key states such as Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, where he grew up. Senators Kamala Harris and Cory Booker are trying to lay claim to the Barack Obama coalition of minority voters, Hispanics, and white liberals.
Even fellow blue state female senators Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand are quick to note they vastly outperformed other Democratic candidates in their home states over the years.
But so far, Warren has not offered a unique argument as to why she can best beat Trump. And the most recent disclosure about her identifying as Native American just reinforced doubts about whether, tactically, Warren can put up the best fight against Trump.
The entire saga — from Trump’s derogatory nickname for her, to the controversial release of her DNA test, to her Texas state bar registration — has Democrats worried the claims to Native American ancestry will weigh on Warren as the missing e-mails did on Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
While Warren’s large margin of victory in the 2018 Senate race was impressive, Governor Charlie Baker won by even more at a time when Democrats had the wind at their backs.
Warren’s case to voters is her up-by-the-bootstraps biography, her consistency on issues, and a persistency bordering on the relentless.
The words “fight” or “fighting” appeared 28 times in her speech in Lawrence.
“I will never give up on you and your future. I will never give up on your children and their future,” Warren said. “I am in this fight all the way.”
But compare that with the last Massachusetts Democrat to announce a presidential run against a sitting Republican president.
In 2003, Senator John Kerry chose for his announcement not the reliably blue Massachusetts, but the red state of South Carolina, and stressed his military service during a time of war by using a US Navy ship for a backdrop.
He launched his case with this words: “I will show you how together we will defeat George Bush next November.”
What is different from 2003 is the word “electability” means different things to different voters. After all, Trump sure did not seem very electable at the outset — given his background and experience, flip-flopping on issues and coarse language.
Trump, of course, was elected. And Kerry was not. It’s possible the lesson Warren took from both races was to not dwell too much on the topic. And given that US politics has been so unpredictable in the last three years, maybe Democrats should not dwell so much on electability, either. | <urn:uuid:40b75a2a-5999-4d0c-92fd-daa89863f997> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2019/02/09/what-warren-didn-say-her-announcement-why-she-best-democrat-beat-trump/tT2QfD0tyPXdYf89z1f4MP/story.html | 2021-03-07T12:20:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376467.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307105633-20210307135633-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.970147 | 763 | [

In recent years, employers have scrutinized employee or prospective employee postings on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other sites, as part of their screening process for employment, promotion or termination decisions. This may come to an end if The Password Protection Act of 2013 (H.R. 2077) becomes law. The Password Protection Act would amend federal law to make it unlawful if an employer
‘(A) for the purposes of employing, promoting, or terminating employment, compels or coerces any person to authorize access, such as by providing a password or similar information through which a computer may be accessed, to a protected computer that is not the employer’s protected computer, and thereby obtains information from such protected computer; or
‘(B) discharges, disciplines, discriminates against in any manner, or threatens to take any such action against, any person–
‘(I) for failing to authorize access described in subparagraph (A) to a protected computer that is not the employer’s protected computer; or
‘(ii) who has filed any complaint or instituted or caused to be instituted any proceeding under or related to this paragraph, or has testified or is about to testify in any such proceeding;’.
The bill contains certain exceptions, which would permit courts to require the disclosure of such passwords if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the information sought “is relevant and material to protecting the intellectual property, a trade secret, or confidential business information” of the employer.
The bill was referred to a congressional committee on May 21, 2013, which will consider whether it will be sent to the House or Senate as a whole. | <urn:uuid:a0f26287-d726-4fbd-a8a2-ca7558eca2be> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.newyorkemploymentattorneyblog.com/proposed_federal_law_to_protec/ | 2021-03-07T11:01:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376467.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307105633-20210307135633-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.932808 | 346 | [

As only a British tabloid (and Fox News) could, reports came out this week of the Loch Ness Monster being spotted on Google Earth. “This amazing image on Google Earth could be the elusive proof that the Loch Ness Monster exists,” The Sun reported. Well, for one thing, this doesn’t look *anything* like Nessie. Doesn’t he have a long black neck? And another thing about this: it looks surprisingly like a …. boat. Imagine that, a boat on a lake captured by Google Earth! Astounding!
Look closely and you’ll see the squared off back end of the boat (the stern), the rounded
stern bow in front, and the tentacle-looking things are just the boat’s wake. This looks very much like another image of a boat on Loch Ness on Bing (below). Click on the picture to get to the image on Bing and zoom out for the full effect.
To see it on Google Earth, go to coordinates Latitude 57°12’52.13″N, Longitude 4°34’14.16″W. Take a tour of Loch Ness (it is pretty there!) and you’ll see lots of other suspicious looking white things in the lake that are (gasp!) more boats! | <urn:uuid:101cb687-f76f-4b7f-bfff-91f492c3b458> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.universetoday.com/38554/loch-ness-monster-on-google-earth/ | 2021-03-07T12:59:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376467.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307105633-20210307135633-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.909226 | 272 | [

As we learn more about which constituencies parties will target in the general election, we can adapt our polling to improve accuracy
Earlier this week Nigel Farage announced that the Brexit Party will not field candidates in Conservative-held seats, despite having previously suggested that it would have over 600 candidates standing.
Obviously that poses a challenge when asking people about their voting intentions at the general election: people can only vote for parties which put up a candidate in their seat. To solve this we asked about the election in two different ways in our latest voting intention survey.
First, we posed our traditional question, where we show people a list of all the parties and ask how they would vote in an election tomorrow. Secondly, we showed people a list of the parties and candidates who are likely to stand in their own seat, and asked which of them they would vote for. The candidates shown reflected both the seats where the Brexit Party would not stand, and the seats where the Liberal Democrats, Greens and Plaid Cymru have said they will not stand. The two different results are shown below:
As you would expect, taking away the Brexit Party in almost half the seats halves their support, from 9% to just 4%. The vast majority of this support seems to transfer directly to the Conservative Party.
However, Labour also does slightly better when we prompt using candidate names for their seat, perhaps reflecting some degree of tactical voting, perhaps the personal vote of incumbent Labour MPs.
The end result is that the Conservatives continue to enjoy a lead in the low teens, with four weeks to go until election day. Given the impact that candidates standing down in seats has on the total level of party support, we'll be continuing to use the candidate prompt in the run up to the election. | <urn:uuid:ffb00cbb-05bd-4825-ac3c-8ac2619941e6> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://yougov.co.uk/topics/politics/articles-reports/2019/11/12/latest-polling-reveals-effect-brexit-party-strateg | 2021-03-07T11:47:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376467.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307105633-20210307135633-00278.warc.gz | en | 0.977839 | 355 | [

The Cave of Adullam – Psalm 142:1-7
I love David’s declaration while hiding from Saul in a cave; “Lord, you know my path.” I love how David poured out his complaint to God. I love how God healed David’s anxious uncertainty – for his pressing agitation. I love the fact that God records how we can pray and transfer our burdens to the God who hears.
Blessed reading as God protects us from bitterness, resentment and despair. | <urn:uuid:f7f92d2b-8101-49e5-87e2-f566065cd5e6> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://enjoythejourneysermons.com/the-cave-of-adullam-psalm-1421-7/ | 2021-03-09T03:32:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178385984.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20210309030723-20210309060723-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.892835 | 107 | [

With a longer retirement you can take the time to explore your interests and hobbies. Unsure of what that may look like? Here are four opportunities you’ll have during retirement
Longer retirements aren’t a burden; they’re an opportunity to live 20 – 30 (or more!) years of your life pursuing passions and hobbies. We’ve compiled a list of the four ways you can use this time.
1. If your career is your passion, then you’re not alone
Although 65 has traditionally been known as the retirement age in America, research from the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies shows that 82% of workers in their 60s expect, or already are, working after age 65 and don’t plan on retiring any time soon. And while the prevailing media narrative is that Americans are being forced to work longer, many people are working because they want to.
2. If you want a change of pace, you could pick up part-time work or a second career
It’s a great way to stay sharp and make more money to put towards retirement or increase your Social Security benefit. If you’ve already retired officially, a new job can keep you active and make sure you have an extra income coming in the door.
3. Longer retirements also mean more active retirements
Physical activity contributes significantly to increasing your quality of life, especially in older age. A study of about 650,000 people over the age of 40 revealed that being active and of healthy weight was associated with an additional 7.2 years of life, compared to being inactive and obese. Staying healthy and relatively fit is important for now and later.
4. Your assets have more time to grow and benefit thanks to compounding interest
While your market-based assets shouldn’t be the primary source for your basic spending needs (we suggest income annuities or enrolling in the Personal Pension to protect you from outliving your savings), they are great for providing you with discretionary income that you’ll want to spend on the good things in life. | <urn:uuid:ba76259b-339c-4b77-a5fd-03d60bb8840b> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.blueprintincome.com/resources/retirement-101/longevity/4-opportunities-longer-retirements/ | 2021-03-09T05:03:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178385984.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20210309030723-20210309060723-00598.warc.gz | en | 0.960408 | 431 | [

This Aaron Spelling produced TV movie originally aired on ABC on December 10, 1982. It’s a star-studded affair, with Valerie Harper, Dennis Weaver and Ruth Gordon in the main roles. It’s also a great example of when TV movies ruled the world.
Plus, you get Oliver Robins as one of the kids. He’s the only surviving child actor from the Poltergeist films.
Phillip and Laura (Weaver and Harper) are the parents of Kevin and Mary, but they once had a daughter named Jennifer who died in a car accident. They move back north after that tragedy and the loss of Phillip’s job to move in with Grandmother Bernice (Gordon), who gets along with no one.
Mary begins hearing the voice of her dead sister under her bed, which soon catches on fire. Even when her brother tries to be nice to her, Mary reacts with violence. She hides under her bed and starts chanting “Kill me” when her dead sister shows up and offers to take care of things.
Soon, everyone dies. Grandma gets frightened by Kevin’s iguana and has a heart attack. Kevin falls off the roof. Phillip is electrocuted in the bathtub.
Then, we learn why. Kevin and Mary disliked their sister, thinking she was always treated better than they were. So they did an innocent prank and tied her shoes together, but after the car accident, this kept her from being able to get out of the car.
This is a fun TV movie ghost story, told well and acted decently. Director Richard Lang was all over 1970’s TV, directing the pilot of Fantasy Island and the movie Night Cries.
Sadly, like so many TV movies, it’s not available on DVD or streaming. | <urn:uuid:538c4a99-bcd3-44c2-b3cb-2f6df22a904e> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://bandsaboutmovies.com/2019/12/11/dont-go-to-sleep-1982/ | 2021-02-26T00:22:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178355944.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226001221-20210226031221-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.971074 | 377 | [

There is no denying that video games are currently heading down a road to a digital future. More games than ever before are seeing digital-only launches. This is largely a positive, as it does allow more titles to see release, but it’s increasingly worrying for collectors and gaming historians. Especially when games get delisted on digital storefronts so often.
To help preserve games, Josh Fairhurst of Mighty Rabbit Studios decided to start publishing physical copies of games in limited quantities. The first release that the appropriately named Limited Run Games will publish is Breach & Clear, a military strategy game for PlayStation Vita. In order to find out more about both Limited Run Games, their goals, and what Breach & Clear has to offer, we talked to Josh Fairhurst himself.
Check it out below, and enjoy!
We Got This Covered: What inspired you to get into publishing games? Was it to see your own games in a physical form, or is there a greater reason?
Josh Fairhurst: I’ve been a game collector for the nearly three decades (I keep most of my collection at our office – there’s a gallery here for those interested). Physical games are important to me. Nothing beats the feeling of coming home from the store, tearing open a new game, and popping it in for the first time. It scares me that an all-digital future is on the horizon. I hate it. I’ll begrudgingly accept it because I love playing games, but I’ll do whatever I can to fight back. Limited Run Games is my effort at fighting back.
I’m also not going to lie; having my own games on physical media has been really surreal. That’s been a goal of mine since I was a kid. If I time-travelled to the early 90s and told young me that I had released my own game on an actual cartridge – young me probably would have flipped out in excitement. As a developer, there is also a bonus inherent in having your games exist as in the physical realm – your games now have lasting power and permanence that digital formats won’t provide. Gamers now have a means to reliably own and treasure your game for decades, trade it to others, or acquire it long after the digital means have been forgotten or shut down. Physical mediums allow my game to have a legacy. If these games were just digital releases, I’m sure they would be forgotten far faster than they will be now.
I love the idea that people will have access to my game fifty years from now, or even a hundred years from now! I’m not vain enough to think they’ll care about it, but hey, it’ll be there for them to play and that’s pretty cool.
WGTC: The first release will be Mighty Rabbit’s Breach & Clear. Have you thought about what the second game will be?
JF: By the nature of Limited Run Games being a part of Mighty Rabbit Studios, our second release is Saturday Morning RPG for the PlayStation 4. Our third game is a game that a lot of people will be excited about and is from a very popular developer. Ultimately, they get to decide when their physical release is announced, so I’m not at liberty to hype it up yet. It’s a killer game, though!
WGTC: The current plan is to print 1,500 copies of Breach & Clear and have no reprints. For future releases could that number change, depending on if demand was there?
JF: Absolutely, one hundred percent yes. Breach & Clear is getting a low print run because it is a test for the idea of Limited Run Games. We know Breach & Clear isn’t super exciting and we know it isn’t going to appeal to everyone. To make sure we didn’t get stuck with piles and piles of unsold games, we made the print run low enough to make a full sell-out attainable. We need that sell-out to happen so we can prove to other developers that there is demand for physical indie games. We also need it to show that we can be trusted to take their game from digital to physical in a satisfactory way and deliver on all aspects of our proposed business.
WGTC: How much more difficult has it been publishing physical copies of games, rather than on digital storefronts? Any unexpected red tape?
JF: It’s significantly more work since you need to understand a lot of supply chain terminology and need to be able to properly navigate a few different sites that aren’t exactly built for people whose full-time job doesn’t revolve around physical games. There’s a ton of different people who have to get involved to make a physical release happen and you need to be in constant communication with them. Once you’ve done your first release, the workload goes down since you understand the process – but anyone approaching his or her first physical release will end up devoting a significant amount of time to it. It’s at least a full month’s worth of full-time work!
We set up Limited Run Games with the intention of simplifying this process for other developers. We do all the work for them and finance their print runs. In exchange for our work we only end up asking for the same cut that a digital distribution service would take. We want to make it an easy choice for developers to say yes to us. We’ll do all the heavy lifting for them and assume all the risk. In the end, they get a cool physical release of their game and a ton of extra income that they otherwise wouldn’t have had.
As for red tape, surprisingly there wasn’t much. Sony had just recently helped Brian Provinciano do a physical release of his game, Retro City Rampage. We basically followed the trail he blazed. I think outside of Sony, over at Microsoft and Nintendo, there is probably a ton of red tape. We hope to break past that tape when we get more established. | <urn:uuid:c03de654-ffbc-45e3-b0fb-93484ab8f83f> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://wegotthiscovered.com/gaming/exclusive-interview-josh-fairhurst-talks-limited-run-games/ | 2021-02-26T01:03:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178355944.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226001221-20210226031221-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.961418 | 1,265 | [

Lime Microsystems has launched a crowdfunding campaign for the LimeNET Micro, an all-in-one device which combines the LMS7002M field-programmable radio frequency (FPRF) chip with a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3, bringing the LimeNET family to its lowest price point yet.
Designed with narrowband applications in mind, the LimeNET Micro operates from 10 MHz to 3.5 GHz – the same frequency range as the LimeSDR Mini – with a 1 MSPS sample rate at a 12-bit depth. Its transmit and receive channels are full duplex, while there’s a u-blox NEO-M8Q global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver on-board as a high-accuracy timing source.
Unlike the LimeSDR family, though, the LimeNET Micro is designed to be self-contained: an on-board Raspberry Pi Compute Module 3 – which can be swapped out for a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ or other Raspberry Pi model using a simple cable – provides general-purpose processing, while the entire unit can be powered from DC or via Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for remote deployment. As with its predecessors, the LimeNET Micro is open-source and open hardware.
The campaign has already reached more than three times its funding requirement, with units available for order starting at $269 (taxes excluded) with shipping expected to begin in late February 2019. More information can be found on the Crowd Supply campaign page.
The MarconISSta project, which has put a LimeSDR on the International Space Station, continues, with work on a web interface for heatmap generation and the reception of 200 MB of new data over the past week.
“While waiting for new data, the student team keeps improving the GUI for data analysis,” project lead Martin Buscher writes in the project’s regular weekly updates. “At the same time, they prepare a web interface that let’s you create your own heatmaps! Just to mention this again, these students do this in their free time, without getting paid or getting credit points!
“After we had problems with the setup in the beginning of October, we had to wait two weeks to find out if the experiment works nominal again. Luckily it does,” Martin continues in the latest report. “On Thursday we received 200 MB of new data with many interesting captures. One of these was a varying artefact around 2402 MHz that seems to be oscillating in sync with the ISS’s orbit. Another interesting result of last week was that we received good data in UHF, even though we accidentally recorded using the L/S band patch antenna instead of the VHF/UHF antenna.”
Martin has warned, however, that there may be an impact on the project from the failed launch of a Soyuz MS-10 which was heading to the ISS on a resupply mission: “For the unlikely event that the remaining crew has to leave [and there is] no replacement, ESA currently checks which experiments can stay operational. If everything continuous to work nominal, MarconISSta can stay operational without crew on-board. For this reason, we expect to be online at least until February/March 2019.”
Regular updates can be found on the MarconISSta website.
Lime Microsystem has published an interview with community member Gaspar Karm, who has been working to add spectrogram acceleration to the field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on the LimeSDR Mini.
“I had a need for a spectrogram accelerator,” Gaspar explains in the piece on his work. “The first thing I tried was the GPU [host PC graphics processing unit], which worked, but I ran into problems when i wanted to accelerate a neural network on the same GPU.” The solution: using the on-board FPGA, which can be reprogrammed at will for a variety of tasks, as an accelerator.
“The FPGA of LimeSDR Mini was already quite packed,” explains Gaspar, “so the first step was to throw out everything I didn’t need – e.g. anything related to TX. Doing that, I got the utilisation down to ~25%. Next, I implemented the DSP [digital signal processing] blocks: DC removal – Gets rid of the centre peak on the spectrogram; Windowing and 8192-point FFT [fast Fourier transform] – Core blocks for the spectrogram; Average pooling – Applies an averaging window to the spectrogram, which reduces the noise and decimates the data-rate, enabling monitoring of 80 MHz of bandwidth with a data rate of only 2.5 MB/s. In addition, it saves a lot of FPGA resources – which kind of made it all possible.”
The final result: a spectrogram which runs smoothly on low-end Arm-based systems, and a dramatic reduction in the data rate from the radio to the host system. More information is available on the Lime Micro Community site, while the accelerator itself can be found on Gaspar’s GitHub repository.
Any LimeSDR users looking to experiment with Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular connectivity should take a look at a set of instructions from Bastien Baranoff on getting up and running with OpenAirInterface and the LimeSDR Mini.
Bastien’s minimalist instructions are based on using the popular Kali Linux distribution with the LimeSDR Mini, and walk the user through installing a low-latency Linux kernel, SoapySDR, Lime Suite, and OpenAirInterface to create a 4G Long Term Evolution base station.
“The last puzzle piece with the lousy bursty throughput,” Bastien explains, “was partly solved by using the lte-softmodem -d switch Enable soft scope and L1 and L2 stats (Xforms), since it was built with the -x –xforms option, and partly by randomly moving the phone around and noticing there was a sweet spot where Firefox would download and install very fast.”
The full instructions can be found on Bastien’s blog.
Radio amateur Daniel Estévez is continuing his work on a 2.4 GHz transmitter for the Es’Hail 2 satellite, built from a BeagleBone Black single-board computer and a LimeSDR USB.
A product of Qatari Es’hailSat, Es’Hail 2 is to be the first geostationary communications satellite designated for amateur radio use and covering hams from Brazil to Thailand from its position 25.5 degrees East. Daniel’s transmitter, covered in an earlier OTA, targets the 2.4 GHz Phase 4 transponder, which is installed alongside a 10.45 GHz Phase 4 transponder, 250 kHz linear transponder, and 8 MHz transponder for experimental digital modulation schemes and amateur DVB broadcasts.
“Testing 2.4 GHz transmitter for Es’Hail 2,” Daniel writes in his latest update on Twitter, which shows the hardware assembled. “BeagleBone Black, LimeSDR, 115W PA [Power Amplifier]. Currently doing CW [Continuous Wave] beacon generated by the BeagleBone at low power.”
Videos from OsmoCon 2018, the annual conference for users and developers of the numerous open-source telecommunications projects under the Osmocom umbrella, are now available via the Chaos Computer Club Video Operations Centre (C3VOC).
Of particular interest to LimeSDR users will be a presentation from developer Pau Espin on work behind the addition of Lime Suite support to OsmoTRX, allowing easy use with the full LimeSDR family of software defined radios. Harald Welte has also offered a ten-year retrospective of the Osmocom project, serving as both a handy introduction for those unfamiliar with Osmocom and a means of catching up on the latest developments.
Other highlights include Keith Whyte’s presentation on a fault-tolerant distributed GSM core network, Peter Bloom on community cellular network implementations in Latin America, Harald’s roadmap for the future of Osmocom, and Anthony Timson on WaveMobile, a real-world Osmocom-based 2G roaming network.
The full list of videos can be found on the CCC Media website.
The LoRa Alliance has announced a new revision of its LoRaWAN long-range low-power wireless communications standard, bringing support for firmware updates over-the-air (FUOTA) – a first, the Alliance claims, in the low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) sector.
“Continued development of standard specifications for the LoRaWAN protocol is key to enabling interoperability between end-device providers and network providers,” explains Donna Moore, chief executive and chair of the LoRa Alliance. “The new specifications showcase how our members collaborate to continuously advance LoRaWAN. The rapid uptick of LoRaWAN Certified products validates that the market stands behind the need for IoT devices that deliver a proof of quality.”
The FUOTA functionality comes split across three individual specifications: LoRaWAN Application Layer Clock Synchronization, LoRaWAN Remote Multicast Setup Specification, andLoRaWAN Fragmented Data Block Transport Specification, all of which have been released this week in v1.0.0 form. While each brings its own functionality independently, all three must be implemented for FUOTA support.
More information is available on the LoRa Alliance website.
Those interested in the operation of CubeSats, miniature satellites designed to be built, launched, and operated at a signficantly lower cost than traditional full-scale satellites, will find plenty of detail in an article from NASA about Dellingr – “the little CubeSat that could.”
“A team of scientists and engineers at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, set out on a quest. Their goal? To build a more resilient CubeSat — one that could handle the inevitable on-flight mishaps that bedevil any spacecraft, without going kaput,” NASA’s article explains by way of introduction. “They wanted a little CubeSat that could.
“It was uncharted territory for them — an engineering exercise par excellence. The team was used to building big spacecraft, with the layers of process, analysis and testing that makes them reliable. Switching to CubeSats would require adapting or in some cases creating new processes and approaches, modifying organizational structures, all while working fast and on a limited budget. But it was an experiment worth trying, as the lessons they were sure to learn would benefit the entire CubeSat community. They got to work in 2014 and, after three years of development, Dellingr was ready to take flight.”
The article covers the timeline from launch in August 2017 to its last notable mission log in early October 2018, including a range of issues encountered along the way from its ejection from the launch craft with a dead battery, a failure to keep track of the location of the sun, and the rather more serious problem of a loss of GPS positioning – all, thankfully, resolved by early February.
The article can be read in full on the NASA website.
Smart Antenna Technologies’ Sampson Hu and David Tanner, writing for IEEE Spectrum, have detailed work on 3D manufacturing to solve the issue of interference inside ever-more-cramped ‘smart’ devices like smartwatches and smartphones, caused by an increasing number of antennas tuned for an increasing number of uses.
“With one antenna, all’s well. But put another antenna next to it and that second one can be swamped by the strong signal coming from the first, making it deaf to the weaker signal it should be receiving,” the pair explain of the problem. “Two antennas are bad enough. But these days, a typical smart device can have many more. Their ranks usually include one or two antennas for Wi-Fi, one for Bluetooth, one for GPS, and two or four for 4G LTE cellular communications.
“The only sensible solution is a new approach to antenna design. Instead of creating antennas as individual elements and leaving it to the designers to choose where to fit them into a device, it’s better to design a suite of antennas that work well together as a system and then install that system into the mobile device as a single cohesive unit.”
The pair go on to detail existing approaches, including traditional polarised antennas and Fractus’ ‘invisible’ antennas, before detailing their company’s creation of more directional antennas by modifying the physical shape across three dimensions. “We can place antennas physically close together, within just a few centimetres,” the two explain. “But positioning them properly in three dimensions so they all work in harmony isn’t easy. We can’t leave that step up to the device designers or manufacturers, so we aren’t producing individual components. Instead, we’re manufacturing the entire set of antennas needed for a mobile device on one flexible 0.44-millimetre-thick printed circuit board. Flexibility reduces the cost of manufacturing because it lets us start the process in two dimensions and then turn it into a 3D package—by moulding a plastic shape and then wrapping it with the flexible circuit board.”
The full article is available on IEEE Spectrum now.
Finally, YouTube channel Freethink has published an interview with amateur astronomer Scott Tilley, who was responsible for rediscovery the long-lost IMAGE satellite after NASA had lost communication with it 13 years ago.
Scott’s work, detailed in full on his blog back in January this year and covered in an earlier OTA, was the catalyst for a successful effort by NASA to restore communication to the Imager for Magnetopause-to-Aurora Global Exploration (IMAGE) satellite, thought lost in December 2005 when it ceased communicating with ground stations.
Freethink’s video interview covers Scott’s role in the recovery of the satellite, long after NASA had declared it officially lost, his love of amateur astronomy, and the larger role for citizen scientists in general and how they have contributed to scientific knowledge over the years.
The video is live now on Freethink’s YouTube channel. | <urn:uuid:10eb5164-8e0b-47ff-a91d-3ebd297f4f6c> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://myriadrf.org/news/ota-limenet-micro-openairinterface-osmocon-2018-videos-and-more/ | 2021-03-01T03:45:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361849.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301030155-20210301060155-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.930762 | 3,041 | [

Who: Save-On-Foods and One Twenty Three West, with Upshot Studios (production), Post Pro Media (post-production), Murmur Music & Sound (music) and OMD (media).
What: A new brand campaign “Amazing Food. For Real Life.”
When & Where: The year-long campaign debuted this week with five online and broadcast spots.
Why: Western Canada’s largest grocery chain has traditionally emphasized value through its “Darrell’s Deals” advertising. The new campaign marks a pivot towards the quality of its products, such as baked in-store artisan breads, local produce, handcrafted cakes, Western Canadian AAA beef, etc.
How: Each spot begins with a shot of president Darrell Jones, who is a mainstay in the company’s advertising, before transitioning into the type of “beauty shots” that are standard in grocery advertising: Lots of slow-motion, close-up shots of perfect fruits and vegetables, artisan bread being baked, etc. before cutting to a light-hearted “real life” moment, such as the family dog scarfing down a AAA steak, or a young child surreptitiously throwing away grape tomatoes.
And we quote:“When you’re working with quality ingredients, cooking feels like an escape—you can get lost in the drama of washing and chopping vegetables, or pan frying something on a gas stove. But it just takes one kitchen mishap or a shout from your kid to send you back to reality. That’s the insight that the campaign is based around.” —Mia Thomsett, creative director, One Twenty Three West. | <urn:uuid:c4ddd84f-ee78-4df4-8a50-0d69cad22a94> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://the-message.ca/2019/07/25/save-on-foods-embraces-real-life-moments/ | 2021-03-01T04:05:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361849.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301030155-20210301060155-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.911724 | 353 | [

A day to celebrate, and reflect
It is perhaps a sign of our troubled times and increasingly calamitous culture that Christmas, which many might describe as the most peaceful day of the year, has become embroiled in a so-called “war.” As if there weren’t enough to divide Americans.
It is tempting to adapt a famous phrase on a similar topic, and reply, “No, Virginia, there is no war on Christmas.” What there is, is constant bickering among those of different political, cultural and ideological beliefs.
It is this focus on what separates, rather than what unites, that stands in the way of many an effort to do good. It must be discarded — not just once a year on the holiest of days, but all year and every day.
The teachings and examples of Christ, whose birth is celebrated today, require no less.
After all, the very sentiments of the season form the foundation of a better world. “Peace on Earth”; “good will toward men.” These tidings express a global absolute, but they are likewise words to live by personally, locally, throughout a community.
Rochester cannot be truly at peace — not with dozens of its young people lost to gun-related violence each year, hundreds of its citizens homeless or hungry, thousands of its children unable to obtain an education that will lead to self-sustenance.
And where is the good will among, say, elected leaders? Too often, the process of serving the people is hijacked by those who are instead self-serving. The result, often, is gridlock, both nationally and locally.
So as the air fills today with the sound of hymns and carols, as gifts are exchanged and glasses raised, and as loved ones gather or connect from afar, the celebratory spirit should be not only relished but retained. A quiet commitment should be affirmed to embody the noble goals of the season year-round.
After all, the less fortunate among us require hot meals and shelter not only on Christmas, but all year long. Quality education, a safe environment, opportunity for betterment — while they might appear on few Christmas lists, they are desperately lacking in numerous pockets of our region. Many hands are needed to combat such inequities.
These are the real battles, and they cannot be lost. Rather than just defending the idea of Christmas, live out its ideals — charity, patience, thankfulness and, yes, peace on earth and good will toward men — today and every day. | <urn:uuid:d34ebc90-0443-4318-9351-cfe203806f6a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/opinion/editorials/2013/12/25/a-day-to-celebrate-and-reflect/4193541/ | 2021-03-01T04:52:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361849.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301030155-20210301060155-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.965719 | 529 | [

ENTEBBE, STATE HOUSE: President Yoweri Museveni has directed that the borrowing of funds for national infrastructure development should only be ascribed to railway construction, electricity generation, irrigation schemes, strategic roads’ building and to some aspects of education and health sectors.
“In the education sector, it is the issue of government programme for the implementation of the construction of 280 Secondary Schools at Sub-County level countrywide. At the university level, focus should be on the construction of laboratories first and then main halls, which are optional. Let us do all this with respect to other hard-core issues. I have made this clarification for purposes of streamlining proper national economic growth,” he said.
The President was yesterday speaking during a meeting with the African Development Bank (ADB) Regional Director In-Charge of the Eastern Africa Regional Centre, Mr. Gabriel Negattu, at State House Entebbe in the presence of the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, Hon. Matia Kasaija; that of State for Higher Education, Hon. John Chrysostom Muyingo and Education Ministry Permanent Secretary, Mr. Alex Kakooza.
The President clarified to the meeting that the construction of the railway is crucial because it will link Uganda to the neighbouring countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and South Sudan. He also noted that as for electricity generation, the current power supply is not enough because the dynamics of the internal economy in Uganda, consumes it all.
The ADB Regional Director, Mr. Gabriel Negattu on his part, concurred with President Museveni and said that funds ought be borrowed and managed for strategic sectors in the economy. He advised government on the need to think broadly beyond Uganda while planning for infrastructure development.
“Think beyond Uganda and go to East Africa in order to create a centre for development and economic excellence in the region for the future,” he added.
Education Permanent Secretary, Mr. Alex Kakooza revealed that out of the 280 Secondary Schools to be constructed in the country, at between US$60 – US$70 million, 134 will be newly built with the rest requiring only refurbishment.

Buying solar batteries is an important part of getting the solar system you really want and need for your home. During overnight hours or when the weather is cloudy, you can use the energy stored in those batteries to power your home. But you want to be sure to get the right ones for maximum value and effectiveness. The batteries should give you plenty of storage space, and need to be compatible with the system you have — unless you’re getting a new system and buying batteries at that time.
Can I Add a Battery to My Existing Solar Panels?
There are both AC and DC batteries on the market. If you choose AC batteries, you can retrofit them and have them work with any solar system that’s available. So yes, you can add the batteries to your existing solar panels, and it’s easy to do.
Advantages & Benefits of Having Solar Batteries
You’ll be less dependent on grid power when you have solar batteries, because you can store energy during times when you’re making some extra and use it during times that the sun’s behind clouds or when it’s dark outside. That adds to self-sufficiency and gives you a better opportunity to get the maximum value from your solar system.
Are Batteries Necessary in Solar Systems?
If you don’t have a battery in your solar system, you don’t have any way to store energy from your panels. That means you’ll automatically switch over to grid power if you’re connected to it at night or during overcast times. If you’re not connected to the grid, you’ll need a generator or you won’t have any power. That can still be a problem even if you have a battery, but it’s a lot less likely because you’ll have energy stored up that you can use for a period of time before needing generator or grid power.
How Big Should My Battery Be?
The battery should be big enough to store all the extra energy your solar system is making, but it’s important not to get one that’s too large. For example, a system that’s producing enough for your current energy needs and just a little extra will mean you need a smaller battery than a system that’s making a lot of extra energy. A bigger battery — provided your system can charge it effectively — will help you use less power from the grid.
How Much Does It Usually Cost?
The cost of a typical solar system battery is around $10,000, and some can cost more. But for the length of time it lasts and how much you can save in energy costs, these batteries can be a very good investment. It’s important to choose the right one for your needs, though, so you’re getting the biggest benefit for the price.
When you get the right batteries for your solar system, you can have plenty of energy storage and peace of mind. Your solar system will work well, and you can use all the stored energy effectively. It’s a great way to harness the sun’s power in the best way for your needs. | <urn:uuid:e76236ef-2dd8-4ecd-8f59-53e42ba98fc6> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://solartrustcentre.com.au/top-things-you-need-to-know-before-buying-solar-batteries/ | 2021-03-02T20:33:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178364764.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302190916-20210302220916-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.919106 | 666 | [

Early engagement of construction expertise provides cost-saving project benefits to clients
In design-build and construction management (agency and at-risk) delivery, Carl A. Nelson & Company is able to be involved in the project before designs are complete. This is known as the pre-construction phase of the project. During this phase, the design-builder or construction manager is able to provide a variety of services aimed at helping the project Owner realize savings in cost, time and ongoing ownership expense, while also preserving quality.
The earlier in the planning process these efforts are brought to bear, the more benefit can be gained by identifying changes before bids are let or construction begins, preventing extensive change orders or costly rework.
Our pre-construction services include:
- Cost analysis — Review the design to ensure the project can be completed as designed within the available budget.
- Constructability review — Analyze the drawings to ensure the project is buildable as designed.
- Pre-construction scheduling and fast-track construction — Look for opportunities to speed the project schedule through means such as coordinating delivery of long lead-time materials and construction activities to create the greatest schedule efficiency; and presenting options to begin construction when possible before the final design is complete.
- Value engineering — Seek best-value outcomes through design, material and schedule changes to reduce construction cost or time while preventing costly or inefficient maintenance for the life of the project, without creating a negative impact on quality. You can learn more about Carl A. Nelson & Company's approach to on design-build and construction management projects, and our experience delivering value to customers, in these articles from the Spring 2020 editions of our wibi newsletter.
Carl A. Nelson & Company President Tim Seibert, P.E., describes how we produce optimal solutions for clients through an emphasis on value engineering during pre-construction.
On design-build projects, these benefits are part of the process from the time a client signs a contract for services.
In construction management, the Owner gets the most benefit by bringing Carl A. Nelson & Company onto the project early in the design process, or even prior to engaging a design consultant. Beginning a project with the pre-construction support of a construction manager provides all of the benefits noted above, while also ensuring initial designs fall within the available budget.
Other pre-construction services from Carl A. Nelson & Company include Code Review, Building Information Modeling and Design-Assist from Nelson Design, Inc. And pre-project services including needs assessment and master planning. | <urn:uuid:451746e8-58f7-4a6f-95b2-545fe2ed9e45> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.carlanelsoncoconstruction.com/pre-construction.html | 2021-03-02T21:19:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178364764.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302190916-20210302220916-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.919091 | 519 | [

People enjoy gaming and casino activities online approved them a simple methods to accomplish it. Casino activities online gives so much satisfaction that it is likely to be almost impossible to keep it. Not merely that casino games online is one of the very most clearable activities in the world.
A huge selection of first-class online sport to choose from in these days and to find the particular website for you could look like a fantastic mission. But, reducing down the features you’re looking for can guide you discover the perfect casino activities online match for your desire. Ahead of looking for justifications, it can be as effectively significant to spot which internet sites are genuine and lawful and which web sites are not. It’s hard to declare precisely what generates an exceptional online sport because diverse individuals have varied principal considerations in views to what an online sport casino must present.
Casino online cause is separated into diverse sections to formulate it simpler for you yourself to hastily and just discover the web sites that you probably fascinated. Whether you are a gambling amateur or a casino expert, it’s sure you’ll find this casino route a important source. You can find online internet sites as effectively that has casino gaming size which contains casino tickets to keep you income once you visit them.
Whether gambling online is a serious pastime for you personally or an informal activity, picking involving the a huge selection of online casinos accessible online nowadays could be fairly intimidating. After all, every online gamer has their particular special personality, wants, dislikes and chosen games. In the same way every person is different, so are online casinos. Below are the basics to consider when doing your research for an online casino that may match your gaming wants and then some.
As it pertains casino Malaysia , I arrive at enjoy and I enjoy to win. But first and foremost, I arrived at play. Which means that you are maybe not likely to stick around enjoying a game you don’t enjoy. Even though you enjoy a game popular to all casinos like poker, if the program is poor you’re all but guaranteed to make a fast “exit.”
Since online casinos just feature games wherever wagers are involved, you may think your choices are confined, but you couldn’t be farther from the truth. Several businesses delight themselves on thinking beyond your field and providing new and innovative activities that raise the bar when it comes to graphics, sound and playability. It is recommended to have a concept which online casinos carry activities that you will be interested in playing. Businesses like Rival and Cryptologic are simply two of the many prime online casino software services that drive the bag with every sport they set out.
Also know that each and every application company has their own style. Competitor, as I stated earlier, has exceptional activities, but has a tendency to appeal to younger audience of online casino players. They emphasis more on graphics and activities that attract “movie participants” significantly more than anyone else. Wherever as Cryptologic has a talent to take common games and making them fresh and fascinating again.
The program does not require any browser for the maintenance of reference to the respective casino. The first installment and accessing of casino computer software takes some time due to its big size as all of the artwork and appears need to be saved in the software. Once that application is properly installed, it is in fact probable to savor the games at quickly rate compared to internet based casinos.
These kind of online casinos are often the web site which allows people to enjoy casino activities from the comforts of the place. Accessing of any kind of pc software is not ostensibly had a need to perform the games at these net based online casinos. Also, the installation of any kind of plan is also perhaps not needed to allow an individual to enjoy in the casino games. Merely a browser is what the user needs to have to enjoy the casino activities and gain good amounts. | <urn:uuid:4dac6b90-8e5a-4523-9e84-a3e2f0f40857> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.exchange2007demo.com/creating-income-with-online-casinos/ | 2021-03-02T20:44:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178364764.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302190916-20210302220916-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.963062 | 853 | [

So I’m back training again. I’m riding and racing on Zwift. I’m working with a coach. Hi Chris! And that means I’m paying attention to data.
I’m also paying attention to some comparative data. Because I’ve been riding and using a Garmin and Strava for years, some things are interesting to track over time.
My ftp has gone up. (FTP stands for Functional Threshold Power and represents the highest wattage number you can expect to average over an hour.) All good. It’s fun. I like measuring and tracking progress.
Except what’s striking is that my maximum heart rate has gone down, like way down. A lot. Fifteen years ago when I used to race crits, do short distance duathlons and do flying laps at the velodrome, I had a max heart rate of 182.
Now my max heart rate is 164 or so. I used to do time trials at 168. Now my time trial heart is more like 150. That’s the highest heart rate I can maintain for a good chunk of time without blowing up.
Remember the old formula? 220 minus your age? That’s pretty much right for me now. I suppose I shouldn’t care. My top speeds haven’t gone down and neither has my power output. But what’s it all about?
See Heart rate and age: “The relationship between the heart and exercise has been studied for more than six decades and the research is clear: Max heart rate—the highest heart rate you can safely hit during exercise—decreases with age regardless of lifestyle or level of fitness. Why the drop? The reasons aren’t completely known, but a 2013 University of Colorado Medical School study found that one reason could be slower electrical activity in the heart’s pacemaker cells. Basically, “your heart can’t beat as often,” says Roy Benson, running coach and co-author of Heart Rate Training.
However, a lower max heart rate may not necessarily affect your splits. “It’s not a foregone conclusion that a decrease in heart rate max means a decline in performance,” says Joe Friel, coach and author of Fast After 50 and The Triathlete’s Training Bible. “That’s a very common but unsupported view of athletes who are ill informed about the science behind heart rate. They assume a high heart rate means a high level of performance. Not true.”
I started to go down the rabbit hole of reading journal articles about why max heart rate declines. But really, do I need to know? I am still puzzled about why it doesn’t seem to matter as much as I thought it might.
I’ve written about heart rate training before.
Obviously, I need to open up my Garmin/Strava settings and put in some new numbers.
Do you track heart rate while exercising? Have you noticed it dropping with age? | <urn:uuid:68ba37a9-0ea4-4701-be2a-d17991fa7fcf> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://fitisafeministissue.com/2020/05/11/sams-max-heart-rate-is-slowing-down-but-thats-okay-she-isnt/ | 2021-03-04T09:40:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178368687.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304082345-20210304112345-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.937005 | 642 | [

Tuscany Weather in January
You would probably be in Tuscany during the first week of January, from having spent the new year holidays here. While the weather varies slightly from one area to another, January is the coldest month of the year throughout Tuscany and you would feel it. The average high temperatures range from 9°C to 12°C. Snow is rare along the coast and inland valleys, but more frequent up in the mountains. When snow does fall, it usually melts quickly, except in the shady hills where it can cause slippery roads. Watch out for black ice especially in shaded curves.
Dressing up for Winter
If you visit Tuscany now you should bring a windbreaker and wool sweater or a warm coat, plus a hat, scarf and gloves. There isn’t much precipitation, only around 2 inches on average over in January but a waterproof jacket could come in handy. What you should keep in mind is that days are short. In January the sun rises just before 8 am and sets already before 5 pm. (Average max temperature: 11°C and average precipitation: 63mm). | <urn:uuid:b5894149-7d2e-472f-bbc4-4058f6ceb3d7> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://tuscanhouse.com/weather-in-tuscany/january/ | 2021-03-06T02:12:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178374217.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306004859-20210306034859-00318.warc.gz | en | 0.966145 | 231 | [

I took this photograph at the San Francisco LGBT Community Center, Rainbow Room. My physician colleague Deb Friesen, MD from Kaiser Permanente, Colorado (@KPColorado) joined me, and we just missed our colleague Rebecca Goldfader, ARNP, both of whom deliver care and support people in this community.
The scene reminded me, in a good way, of one I’ve experienced before – lesbian, gay, bisexual people seeking refuge in the Castro district, where they could feel safe, and be who they wanted to be. That to me is a sign of a community starting to take control of its destiny.
I believe that’s Jamie Wolfe, the co-Vice Chair of TransMarch at the podium. She spoke to us briefly after the program about being in a trans person competent health system and the challenges this community faces, like a suicide rate exceeding 40% (see: Update: Woman Identified In Apparent Suicide Leap Onto Walnut Creek Freeway – Police & Fire – Walnut Creek, CA Patch).
As I’ve discussed here before, gender dysphoria is not a mental illness; mental illness that accompanies dysphoria is often created by society and a health system that is supposed to heal (see: Now Reading: Care of Transsexual Persons — NEJM, in the era of inclusion | Ted Eytan, MD). This is the part that our generation is going to change. The impact that high quality, medically supervised health care for a person who is trans is profound, probably more significant than many of the conditions that are typically treated in the health system today. It’s not a competition, though, everyone deserves to feel safe wherever they are, and to be able to achieve their life goals through optimal health – every patient is human, no one should be excluded.

HIGHTOWER: High-Flying Congressional Luxuries
If a welfare recipient is caught buying candy bars and sodas with foodstamps, you can bet that a member of Congress will be up on his hind legs about it, spewing spit and fulminating ferociously in pious outrage that tax money is being spent on "luxuries" for the poor.I find it fascinating that this very same member of Congress will then make what they call a foreign "fact finding" trip (you would call it a junket) and demand that we taxpayers provide every travel luxury imaginable ... and then some. Take Rep. Floyd Spence -- please! This South Carolina Republican led a delegation of six other lawmakers on a 10-day jaunt to Asia last year, supposedly on a fact-finding mission regarding our national security interests. To help find facts, the spouses of most of the members took the trip, too.The Hill newspaper reports that Spence and company flew to Asia aboard a large, luxury jet provided by the Pentagon, costing us $825,000 just for the plane. In addition, we paid for a full crew of stewards, as well as escorts to take care of the lawmakers and spouses while on land. For the flight, taxpayers provided 36 bottles of wine, 21 cases of beer, and eleven bottles of hard liquor. We also provided such travel supplies as sun block, eye drops, playing cards, film, shaving cream, deodorant, and breath mints. Indeed, $14-worth of breath mints.And, of course, we paid for their fine dining abroad, their first-class hotels, their cocktail receptions, the tours for the spouses, all their ground travel, and even tips for their hotel bellhops.Then, on their way back, undoubtedly weary from all their fact-finding, these congressional travelers stopped for a two-day layover in Hawaii, apparently for a nice, relaxing round of golf at our expense.This is Jim Hightower saying ... But at least they're on-guard against poor people getting candy bars. | <urn:uuid:d518007e-30c3-453d-950b-05f65ef18d91> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.alternet.org/2000/04/hightower_high-flying_congressional_luxuries/ | 2021-03-07T15:38:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178377821.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307135518-20210307165518-00638.warc.gz | en | 0.969438 | 421 | [

The Vision Festival is the only jazz festival in New York that features musicians, dancers and artists whose exploratory creativity extends far beyond the realm of possibility. For 23 years, the Vision Festival has been the mecca where enthusiasts gather to salute avant-garde’s future, present and past. It acknowledges and celebrates the inextricable bond between radical art and socio-political engagement.
From May 23 to May 28, the 2018 Vision Festival will be held at Roulette Intermedium (known simply as Roulette) at 509 Atlantic Ave. in Downtown Brooklyn.
This year’s lineup is rooted in powerful and forward-thinking artists of the 1960s, a time when freedom and open-mindedness were universally celebrated. It includes the very best artists who have come along since that time, while showcasing aspiring performers on the verge.
On May 23, the festival opened celebrating the pianist and composer Dave Burrell, who was presented with the Lifetime of Achievement Award. “I feel honored, respected and grateful,” said Burrell. “These feelings are present when I reflect on the overwhelming career that I am having.” | <urn:uuid:4108c439-1004-493e-87f3-c6ca595407f4> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | http://www.kolumnmagazine.com/2018/06/28/jazz-notes-vision-fest-mickey-bass-childrens-jazz-book-new-york-amsterdam-news/ | 2022-09-24T17:39:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030331677.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20220924151538-20220924181538-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.962447 | 237 | [

What should I blog about?
Whether you’re just starting your blog, or you’ve had your blog up and running for a while, the question about writing web content is sure to come up once or twice!
In the beginning, you may be asking that question because you’re curious about which subjects will draw the most visitors and translate into making money with your blogging efforts.
If it’s a personal blog that you’re just starting for the fun of it, then you may be asking that question because you’re really not sure if anybody in the world is even interested in the same subjects that you are interested in.
And if you’re blogging as a business, and you have people returning to your website week after week, you may be asking this question because you want to continue to write about things that matter to those visitors to keep them engaged and coming back for more.
At any rate, stressing out over the answer to that question can often lead to writer’s block or writing paralysis…both which lead to inaction and frustration.
Don’t worry, if and when this happens to you, it’s completely normal and luckily, curable!
First Step to Deciding What to Write About on your Blog
No matter why you started writing a blog, the thing that keeps people reading and returning is content that educates, inspires, entertains, or answers questions. So how do you know what kind of content will do this? For that answer, you have to know your customers and your potential blog readers. What are they interested in, what makes them chuckle, and what problems do they encounter when it comes to the subject of your blog?
What you put on your blog (articles, videos, photos, etc) should resonate with them on that level.
And if you’re not really sure if what you write will interest them…write it anyway! There’s really only one way to find out, right? Get it out of your brain, onto your post, and out into the world. You have millions of potential people that will help train you how to write for them!
But what if what you write is horrible?
So what? Write it anyway.
We are often our own worst critics when it comes to something as creative as writing. I say write in anyways because what if what you write is actually brilliant? All your thoughts, ideas, talents, knowledge and gifts do absolutely no good if you keep them locked up in your brain as you take them to the grave to be nothing more than fertile food for worms!
If you want even more information about the Power of Blogging, check out the book that I wrote on the subject:
Your Turn: What’s working for you when you and your Blog?

Spring is here at last, and there’s no better way to welcome the season than by heading outdoors and trying a new activity! Enjoy the warmer weather and fresh air with these fun springtime activities for seniors.
Take a springtime stroll
Walking is one of the simplest and most effective low-impact exercises for older adults. Just 30 minutes of walking each day can help improve circulation, increase muscle strength, and prevent the loss of bone mass. Many senior living communities have walking clubs to make daily exercise a fun, social activity!
Have a picnic
Spring is the perfect time to plan a picnic and appreciate the great outdoors. Invite family or friends to help you pack a picnic lunch and find a grassy area to eat outside, whether it’s at a local park or on the lawn at your senior living community. Spending time in the sunlight also helps the body produce vitamin D, which is essential for supporting the immune system and maintaining bone health. Just don’t forget to bring plenty of sunscreen!
Go bird watching
Bird watching or “birding” is a beloved spring pastime among people of all ages. Start by identifying local bird species in a field guide and use a notebook to record the types of birds you spot. You can also set up a bird feeder or birdbath outside your window to enjoy wildlife from the comfort of your own home!
Start a garden
Gardening is another favorite springtime activity that offers wonderful physical and mental health benefits for older adults. Tending to a garden is known to help reduce stress and anxiety, and the act of pulling weeds or planting seeds can also improve mobility and flexibility in older adults. You can even bring your garden indoors by planting easy-to-maintain houseplants like succulents or herbs.
Enjoy time with grandchildren
This spring, take advantage of the warmer weather and invite your grandchildren over to visit. Together you can enjoy fun, simple activities like drawing with sidewalk chalk or blowing bubbles. If springtime rain showers prevent you and your grandkids from getting outdoors, try playing cards or a board game or take a trip to a local museum.
These are just a few of the many springtime activities to try this season! In a senior living community, older adults have opportunities to experience a variety of engaging activities and social events all year round. From book clubs to fitness classes and even trips to local concerts or the theatre, there’s sure to be an activity that fits your interests! | <urn:uuid:861c1046-c2a3-4412-b0ba-5ee9758ab904> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://bethanylutheranvillage.org/springtime-activities-for-seniors/ | 2022-09-26T00:01:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334620.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925225000-20220926015000-00678.warc.gz | en | 0.923479 | 510 | [

Presentation Open Access
In the September 2020 preprint “Open is not forever”, (Laakso et al.) discuss the high number of Open Access journals that disappear from the web. It is a known problem in the digital preservation world that long-tail journals are especially at-risk of disappearing. Five leading parties are now collaborating to address this problem: the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), CLOCKSS, Internet Archive, the Public Knowledge Project Preservation Network (PKP PN), and International ISSN / Keepers Registry. Building from the existing DOAJ infrastructure, we are establishing a central hub where preservation agencies can harvest consistent metadata, and access full-text. Each of the preservation partners offers somewhat different solutions for publishers to preserve their content. The project will offer free and low-cost options for preservation and access. In the first phase, the target is diamond OA journals (those with no author processing charges), because these are the journals that are least likely to participate in a preservation service and hence are most at-risk of disappearing. The project is currently coordinating technical designs, service development, infrastructure, and sustainability planning.
