Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Agent Orange
VA presumes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is related to a Veteran's:
- Exposure to Agent Orange or other herbicides during military service or
- Service in Vietnam or in the offshore waters of Vietnam during the Vietnam Era.
These Veterans do not have to prove a connection between their disease and service to be eligible to receive VA health care and disability compensation.
About non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a type of cancer of the lymph glands and other lymphatic tissue, which are part of the body's immune system that help to fight infection and disease.
Signs include swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpit or groin areas in early stages. Other signs may include fever, night sweats, fatigue, weight loss, abdominal pain or swelling, chest pain or trouble breathing, itchy skin.
Visit Medline Plus to learn about treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the latest research, and more from the National Institutes of Health.
VA benefits for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Veterans with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who were exposed to herbicides during service or served in Vietnam during the Vietnam Era (including the waters offshore) may be eligible for disability compensation and health care.
Veterans who served in Vietnam, the Korean demilitarized zone or another area where Agent Orange was sprayed may be eligible for a free Agent Orange registry health exam.
Surviving spouses, dependent children and dependent parents of Veterans who were exposed to herbicides during military service or served in Vietnam during the Vietnam Era (including the waters offshore) and died as the result of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma may be eligible for survivors' benefits.
Research on non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and herbicides
The Health and Medicine Division (formally known as the Institute of Medicine) of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine concluded in its 1994 report on "Veterans and Agent Orange: Health Effects of Herbicides Used in Vietnam" and in future updates that there is sufficient evidence of a positive association between exposure to herbicides (2,4-D; 2,4,5-T and its contaminant TCDD; cacodylic acid; and picloram) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

That means that customers in Houston paid an average of $5,500 more for electricity over a 14-year time span beginning in 2002, according to the group that buys electricity on behalf of municipal governments in Texas. The calculation, which uses data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, assumes monthly electricity use of 1,300 kilowatt hours.
Likewise, if you opt for a plan like our StarTex Power example, but in some months only hit 990 kWh of energy use, the $35 discount for cresting $1,000 kWh won't apply — and your bill is going to show it. Picking the right plan for you requires two things: an intimate knowledge of your home’s typical energy use, and a critical eye on any plan’s fine print.
When you use our rate comparison process, providers know that they are competing to win your business. Consequently, they offer cheap electric rates in hopes of becoming your new Texas electricity company. This benefits both you and the provider you select. You receive a cheap electric rate and the plan of your choice, and the provider adds another satisfied customer.
If you think you have to pay the rates your current electricity provider charges, we have good news. The state of Texas allows you to choose which electricity provider you use. This means you can select a provider that has the cheapest Texas electric rates in your area and the best plan for your needs, whether you need a better deal for your residence, your business, or both. Thousands of consumers and businesses that have used our electricity rate comparison process agree that, when shopping for commercial electricity or residential electricity rates and plans, Vault Electricity is the one-stop source for the best options from top electric providers.
uSwitch is a free service that handles the switching process for you. Once you've completed your energy switch, your new energy supplier will contact your old supplier and agree a switching date. You will then receive a welcome pack and letter from your new gas & electricity supplier. This will outline what you've agreed to, and tell you what happens next. There won't be any interruption in your gas and electricity supply.
It’s very important to do your own research to understand the business focus of the company you are considering, as well as tax advantages (and possible disadvantages) if the company is a limited partnership. For example, Seadrill Ltd. SDRL, -4.77% provides offshore-drilling services worldwide. Seadrill Partners LLC SDLP, -3.52% operates offshore-drilling rigs under specific contracts with several major oil companies, including Exxon Mobil Corp. XOM, -2.78% and Chevron Corp. CVX, -2.81%
And just like with any plan, it’s worth it to do the math to see how different scenarios will affect your bill. Take, for example, a home in Sweetwater that uses about 1,000 kWh of energy per month, and is interested in the Texas Essentials 12 plan. Zero percent renewable energy is the cheapest option — but by committing to a $5 monthly charge for its 100 percent “JustGreen” option, it’s actually cheaper than the 60 percent hybrid renewable option.
As a residential or commercial customer, you’ll enjoy competitive rates, flexible contracts, and personalized plans that give you the power to choose what’s best for you. And we offer no-deposit electricity for well-qualified customers and deposit payment plans for those with less than desirable credit so that switching retail electric providers won’t break the bank.‡ When you switch to Amigo Energy today, you’ll switch on the power of convenience and affordability.
The Customer Information List includes the name on your electric account (corporate name, where applicable), your mailing and service addresses, monthly meter reading date, and rate class. In addition, your monthly kilowatt-hour usage (and demand where applicable) for the previous twelve months at your current location will be included. The list will be updated on a quarterly basis.
Residential real-time pricing customers pay electric supply prices that vary by the hour. To make a meaningful comparison between variable RRTP rates and RES offers, customers should compare their past electric supply cost savings from the total Electric Supply section of the bill, provided by their RRTP provider, with an electric supply cost savings estimate provided by RESs. Alternatively, customers can compute their average real-time hourly price in cents per kWh (each month the average real-time price is equal to the total of the Electric Supply section of the bill divided by the monthly kWh) to compare with RES offers posted in cents per kWh. Customer should bear in mind, however, that because RRTP rates vary over time, past savings do not predict future savings, but only serve as a guide to compare past performance.
Even though customers in deregulated cities routinely pay more for electricity, there is a bright spot. The gap between the average price paid for electricity between deregulated cities like Houston and regulated cities like San Antonio have dwindled to the narrowest point ever to 8.8 percent. Back in 2006, customers in deregulated cities were paying nearly 47 percent more for electricity than their counterparts in regulated cities.
If you want your electricity plan to be as stable and reliable as your recliner, Quick Electricity has some trustworthy, low-cost, long-term plans for you from the top light companies in Houston, Dallas and the rest of energy deregulated Texas. These by-year plans reduce cost fluctuation and eliminate hassle from switching and renewing plans. Choose from 12-Month and 24-Month Fixed Rate plans.
Although electricity prices in the UK aren't cheap some countries have it much worse. In this article I'm going compare internationally to look at who is paying more $/kWh for their energy. I’ve gathered some numbers and crunched a little data to see who is really paying a lot for their power. For my neighbour here in the UK I’ll add a bit more data at the end.

The background of the United States is large as well as complex, yet can be broken down right into moments and also time periods that split, combined, as well as transformed the United States right into the nation it is today. The American flag really did not appear like it does now. Besides that, it went through a great deal of modifications as well as alterations.
The American Revolutionary War
Enter the American Revolution. Occasionally referred to as the American War of Independence, or the Revolutionary War, it was a dispute which lasted from 1775-1783 and allowed the initial 13 colonies to stay independent from Great Britain. Beginning in Great Britain in the late 1790s, the Industrial Revolution at some point made its way to the United States and also transformed the focus of the country’s economic climate as well as the method it produces items.
These conflicts occurred from expanding tensions between residents of Great Britain’s 13 North American colonies and also the early american government (which stood for the British crown). Attempts by the British government to raise earnings by taxing the colonies (significantly the Stamp Act of 1765, the Townshend Tariffs of 1767 as well as the Tea Act of 1773) met with negative objection among lots of colonists, who resented their lack of depiction in Parliament as well as required the exact same civil liberties as other British citizens.
The Continental Congress convened in May 1775 and also accepted to create an army. George Washington was made its commander in chief. Congress wished they might force the British to negotiate however George III chose not to compromise. Instead, in August 1775 he stated that the American colonies were in a state of rebellion. On the other hand, rule by royal governor broke down as well as individuals required government without imperial interference. In May 1776 Congress determined that imperial government needs to cease and government should be ‘for the people’. Ultimately the colonies created state constitutions to change their charters.
By the autumn of 1781, the American army had actually begun to force the adversary to withdraw to Virginia’s Yorktown peninsula, near where the York River clears right into Chesapeake Bay. Claiming disease, the British general sent his replacement, Charles O’Hara, to surrender; after O’Hara came close to Rochambeau to surrender his sword (the Frenchman deferred to Washington), Washington provided the nod to his own replacement, Benjamin Lincoln, who accepted it. After French support aided the Continental Army require the British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781, the Americans had actually efficiently won their self-reliance, though combatting would not officially end til 1783.
The motion for American freedom properly won at Yorktown, contemporary observers did not see that as the definitive triumph. British as well as American mediators in Paris authorized initial peace terms in Paris late that November, and also on September 3, 1783, Great Britain formally identified the independence of the United States in the Treaty of Paris.
Exactly how the American Flag happened
The American flag was developed to represent the new union of the thirteen original states: it would have thirteen stripes, alternate red as well as white, and thirteen stars, white on a blue field. Among the first flags had the stars organized in a circle, based on the idea that all colonies were equal. The thirteen stripes, laid out side by side, stood for the struggle for freedom; red represented valiance, white signified pureness and also blue stood for loyalty.
In 1818, after a few style modifications, the United States Congress chose to keep the flag’s initial thirteen stripes as well as include new stars to show each new state that got in the union.
While there is no doubt that the real Betsy Ross was worthy of interest in her very own right, it is the legend of Betsy stitching the initial stars and stripes that has made her an unforgettable historic number. The Betsy Ross story was given spotlight in 1870 by her grandson, William Canby, in a speech he made to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Canby as well as various other members of Betsy’s family members authorized vouched affidavits stating that they listened to the story of the making of the very first flag from Betsy’s very own mouth.
According to the oral history, in 1776, 3 men – George Washington, Robert Morris, as well as George Ross, went to Betsy Ross in her furniture shop. On a piece of paper Washington showed, was an illustration of a flag with thirteen red as well as white stripes as well as thirteen 6-pointed stars.
Washington asked if Betsy can make a flag from the style. Betsy reacted: “I don’t know, however I will certainly try.” This line was utilized in the sworn declarations of a lot of Betsy’s members of the family, suggesting that it is a straight quote from Betsy. As the story goes, Betsy recommended changing the stars to 5 points instead of 6. She showed them how to do it with just one snip of her scissors. They all agreed to change the style to have stars with 5 points.
Nonetheless, some people believe that it was Francis Hopkisnon that gave birth to the idea of the Stars and Stripes. Francis Hopkinson was a popular patriot, a legal representative, a Congressman from New Jersey, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, poet, artist, as well as distinguished civil servant.
He was selected to the Continental Navy Board on November 6,1776. It was while serving on the Continental Navy Board that he turned his focus on making the flag of the United States. Making use of stars in that design is thought to have actually been the outcome of an experience in the battle straightly pertaining to his propriety.
A publication in Hopkinson’s library at his home in Bordentown was taken by a Hessian soldier in December 1776, a dark year of the war. The book, Discourses on Public Occasions in America (London, 1762) by William Smith, D.D., had been a gift to him by the writer. The soldier, one I. Ewald, created on the inside cover that he had actually seen the writer near Philadelphia and that he, Ewald, had actually taken the book from a great country seat near Philadelphia. The book was consequently provided to somebody in Philadelphia that returned it to Hopkinson. The soldier had written above and listed below Hopkinson’s bookplate, which had 3 6 pointed stars and also his family slogan, “Semper Paratus”, or “Always Ready”. The safe return of the book could well have signified to Hopkinson the resurgence of the Americans’ wish.
In a letter to the Board of Admiralty in 1780 Hopkinson insisted that he had actually designed “the flag of the United States of America” as well as several ornaments, devices, and checks showing up on bills of exchange, ship papers, the seals of the boards of Admiralty and also Treasury, as well as the Great Seal of the United States. Hopkinson had actually gotten nothing for this job, and also now he sent a bill and also asked “whether a Quarter Cask of the public wine” would certainly not be a reasonable as well as correct incentive for his labors.
Also so, no one can be so sure that produced the American flag. The American flag is the sacred emblem of the country. As you see the flag silhouetted against the relaxed skies of the nation, you are reminded that the American flag stands for just what you are – no more, no much less.

As taken from the Star Spangled Banner:
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Llandudno seen from the Great Orme
|OS grid reference|
|Sovereign state||United Kingdom|
Llandudno (Welsh pronunciation: [ɬanˈdɪdnɔ]) is a seaside resort, town and community in Conwy County Borough, Wales, located on the Creuddyn peninsula, which protrudes into the Irish Sea. In the 2011 UK census, the community, which includes Gogarth, Penrhyn Bay, Craigside and Penrhynside, had a population of 20,701. The town's name is derived from its patron saint, Saint Tudno.
Llandudno, "Queen of the Welsh Resorts", a title first applied as early as 1864, is now the largest seaside resort in Wales. Historically a part of Caernarfonshire, Llandudno was formerly in the district of Aberconwy within Gwynedd.

The town of Llandudno developed from Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements over many hundreds of years on the slopes of the limestone headland, known to seafarers as the Great Orme and to landsmen as the Creuddyn Peninsula. The origins in recorded history are with the Manor of Gogarth conveyed by King Edward I to Annan, Bishop of Bangor in 1284. The manor comprised three townships, Y Gogarth in the south-west, Y Cyngreawdr in the north (with the parish church of St Tudno) and Yr Wyddfid in the south-east.
Modern Llandudno takes its name from the ancient parish of Saint Tudno but also encompasses several neighbouring townships and districts including Craig-y-Don, Llanrhos and Penrhyn Bay. Also nearby is the small town and marina of Deganwy and these last four are in the traditional parish of Llanrhos. The ancient geographical boundaries of the Llandudno area are complex. Although they are on the eastern side of the River Conwy (the natural boundary between north-west and north-east Wales), the ancient parishes of Llandudno, Llanrhos and Llangystennin (which includes Llandudno Junction) were in the medieval commote of Creuddyn in the Kingdom of Gwynedd, and afterwards part of Caernarfonshire. Today, Deganwy and Llandudno Junction are part of the town community of Conwy even though they are across the river and only linked to Conwy by a causeway and bridge.
Mostly owned by Mostyn Estates, Great Orme is home to several large herds of wild Kashmiri goats originally descended from several goats given by Queen Victoria to Lord Mostyn. The summit of the Great Orme stands at 679 feet (207 m). The Summit Hotel, now a tourist attraction, was once the home of world middleweight champion boxer Randolph Turpin.
A haven for flora and fauna with some rare species such as peregrine falcons and a species of wild cotoneaster (cambricus) which can only be found on the Great Orme. The sheer limestone cliffs of the Great Orme provide ideal nesting conditions for a wide variety of sea birds, including cormorants, shags, guillemots, razorbills, puffins, kittiwakes, fulmars and numerous gulls.
This great limestone headland has many attractions including the Great Orme Tramway and the Llandudno Cable Car that takes tourists effortlessly to the summit. The Great Orme is also home to the longest toboggan run in Britain at 750m long.
By 1847 the town had grown to a thousand people, served by the new church of St George, built in 1840. The great majority of the men worked in the copper mines, with others employed in fishing and subsistence agriculture.
In 1848, Owen Williams, an architect and surveyor from Liverpool, presented Lord Mostyn with plans to develop the marshlands behind Llandudno Bay as a holiday resort. These were enthusiastically pursued by Lord Mostyn. The influence of the Mostyn Estate and its agents over the years was paramount in the development of Llandudno, especially after the appointment of George Felton as surveyor and architect in 1857. Between 1857 and 1877 much of central Llandudno was developed under Felton's supervision. Felton also undertook architectural design work, including the design and execution of Holy Trinity Church in Mostyn Street.
The town is just off the North Wales Coast railway line which was opened as the Chester and Holyhead Railway in 1848. It became part of the London and North Western Railway in 1859, and part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923. Llandudno was specifically built as a mid-Victorian era holiday destination and is served by a branch railway line opened in 1858 from Llandudno Junction with stations at Deganwy and Llandudno.

Llandudno Bay and the North Shore
A beach of sand, shingle and rock curves two miles between the headlands of the Great Orme and the Little Orme.
For most of the length of Llandudno's North Shore there is a wide curving Victorian promenade. The road, collectively known as The Parade, has a different name for each block and it is on these parades and crescents that many of Llandudno's hotels are built. Near the centre of the bay is the Venue Cymru. The Llandudno Sailing Club and a roundabout mark the end of this section of The Parade and beyond are more hotels and guest houses but they are in the township of Craig-y-Don.
At Nant-y-Gamar Road, the Parade becomes Colwyn Road with the fields of Bodafon Hall Farm on the landward side but with the promenade continuing until it ends in a large paddling pool for children and finally at Craigside on the lower slopes of the Little Orme.
The pier was extended in 1884 in a landward direction along the side of what was the Baths Hotel (where the Grand Hotel now stands) to provide a new entrance with the Llandudno Pier Pavilion Theatre, thus increasing the pier's length to 2,295 feet (700 m): it is the longest pier in Wales. Attractions on the pier include a bar, a cafe, amusement arcades, children's fairground rides and an assortment of shops & kiosks.
In the summer, Professor Codman's Punch and Judy show (established in 1860) can be found on the promenade near the entrance to the pier.
The Happy Valley, a former quarry, was the gift of Lord Mostyn to the town in celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887. The area was landscaped and developed as gardens, two miniature golf courses, a putting green, a popular open-air theatre and extensive lawns. The ceremonies connected with the Welsh National Eisteddfod were held there in 1896 and again in 1963. In June 1969, the Great Orme Cabin Lift, a modern alternative to the tramway, was opened with its base station adjacent to the open-air theatre. The distance to the summit is just over one mile (1.6 km) and the four-seater cabins travel at 6 mph on a continuous steel cable over two miles (3 km) long. It is the longest single-stage cabin lift in Britain, and the longest span between pylons is over 1,000 feet (300 m). The popularity of the 'Happy Valley Entertainers' open-air theatre having declined, the theatre closed in 1985 and likewise the two miniature golf courses closed and were converted in 1987 to create a 280-metre (920 ft) artificial ski slope and toboggan run. The gardens were extensively restored as part of the resort's millennium celebrations and remain a major attraction.
The first route round the perimeter of the Great Orme was a footpath constructed in 1858 by Reginald Cust, a trustee of the Mostyn Estate. In 1872 the Great Ormes Head Marine Drive Co. Ltd. was formed to turn the path into a carriage road. Following bankruptcy, a second company completed the road in 1878. The contractors for the scheme were Messrs Hughes, Morris, Davies, a consortium led by Richard Hughes of Madoc Street, Llandudno. The road was bought by Llandudno Urban District Council in 1897. The 4 miles (6.4 km) one way drive starts at the foot of the Happy Valley. After about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) a side road leads to St. Tudno's Church, the Great Orme Bronze Age Copper Mine and the summit of the Great Orme. Continuing on the Marine Drive one passes the Great Orme Lighthouse (now a small hotel) and, shortly afterwards on the right, the Rest and Be Thankful Cafe and information centre. Below the Marine Drive at its western end is the site of the wartime Coast Artillery School (1940–1945) now a scheduled ancient monument.
The West Shore is the quiet beach on the estuary of the River Conwy. It was here at Pen Morfa that Alice Liddell (of Alice in Wonderland fame) spent the long summer holidays of her childhood from 1862 to 1871. There are a few hotels and quiet residential streets. The West Shore is linked to the North Shore by Gloddaeth Avenue and Gloddaeth Street, a wide dual carriageway.
Running behind the promenade is Mostyn Street leading to Mostyn Broadway and then Mostyn Avenue. These are the main shopping streets of Llandudno and Craig-y-Don. Mostyn Street accommodates the high street shops, the major high street banks and building societies, two churches, amusement arcades and the town's public library. The last is the starting point for the Town Trail, a carefully planned walk that facilitates viewing Llandudno in a historical perspective.
Every year in May bank holiday weekend, Llandudno has a three-day Victorian Carnival and Mostyn Street becomes a funfair. Madoc Street and Gloddaeth Street and the Promenade become part of the route each day of a mid-day carnival parade. The Bodafon Farm fields become the location of a Festival of Transport for the weekend.
The North Wales Theatre, Arena and Conference Centre, built in 1994, extended in 2006 and renamed "Venue Cymru" is located near the centre of the promenade on Penrhyn Crescent. It is noted for its productions of opera, orchestral concerts, ballet, musical theatre, drama, circus, ice shows and pantomimes.
Until 2017, Llandudno was unique within the United Kingdom in that its lifeboat station was located inland, allowing it to launch with equal facility from either the West Shore or the North Shore as needed. In 2017, a new lifeboat station was completed, and new, high-speed, offshore and inshore lifeboats, and a modern launching system, were acquired. This station is close to the paddling pool on North Shore. Llandudno's active volunteer crews are called out more than ever with the rapidly increasing numbers of small pleasure craft sailing in coastal waters. The Llandudno Lifeboat is normally on display on the promenade every Sunday and bank holiday Monday from May until October.
Places of worship
The ancient parish church dedicated to Saint Tudno stands in a hollow near the northern point of the Great Orme and two miles (3 km) from the present town. It was established as an oratory by Tudno, a 6th-century monk, but the present church dates from the 12th century and it is still used on summer Sunday mornings. It was the Anglican parish church of Llandudno until that status was transferred first to St George’s (now closed) and later to Holy Trinity Church in Mostyn Street.
The principal Christian Churches of Llandudno are members of Cytûn (churches together) and include the Church in Wales (Holy Trinity and also Saint Paul's at Craig-y-Don), the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea, Saint John's Methodist Church, Gloddaeth United Church (Presbyterian), Assemblies of God (Pentecostal), Llandudno Baptist Church, St. David's Methodist Church at Craig-y-Don, the Coptic Orthodox Church of Saint Mary and Saint Abasikhiron, and Eglwys Unedig Gymraeg Llandudno (the United Welsh Church of Llandudno). There is also a Christadelphian meeting hall in the town.
Llandudno is home to a Jewish centre in Church Walks, which serves the local Jewish population – one of few in North Wales. There is also a Buddhist centre, Kalpa Bhadra, on Mostyn Avenue in Craig-y-Don.
Llandudno Rugby Club also play in the town and were established in 1952.
Llandudno is divided into five electoral wards: Craig-y-Don, Gogarth, Mostyn, Penrhyn and Tudno. The wards elect county councillors to Conwy County Borough Council and four community councillors each to Llandudno Town Council.
Links with Wormhout and Mametz
Llandudno is twinned with the Flemish town of Wormhout 10 miles (16 km) from Dunkirk. It was there that many members of the Llandudno-based 69th Territorial Regiment were ambushed and taken prisoner. Later, at nearby Esquelbecq on 28 May 1940, the prisoners were shot.
The 1st (North Wales) Brigade was headquartered in Llandudno in December 1914 and included a battalion of the Royal Welch Fusiliers, which had been raised and trained in Llandudno. During the 1914–18 war this Brigade, a major part of the 38th Welsh Division, took part in the Battle of the Somme and the Brigade was ordered to take Mametz Wood. Two days of fighting brought about the total destruction of Mametz village by shelling. After the war, the people of Llandudno (including returning survivors from the 38th Welsh Division) contributed generously to the fund for the reconstruction of the village of Mametz.
Llandudno hosted the Welsh National Eisteddfod in 1864, 1896 and 1963, and in 2008 welcomed the Urdd National Eisteddfod to Gloddaeth Isaf Farm, Penrhyn Bay. The town also hosted the Liverpool Olympic Festival in 1865 and 1866.
Matthew Arnold gives a vivid and lengthy description of 1860s Llandudno – and of the ancient tales of Taliesin and Maelgwn Gwynedd that are associated with the local landscape — in the first sections of the preface to On the Study of Celtic Literature (1867). It is also used as a location for dramatic scenes in the stage play and film Hindle Wakes by Stanley Houghton, and the 1911 novel, The Card, by Arnold Bennett, and its subsequent film version.
Elisabeth of Wied, the Queen Consort of Romania and also known as writer Carmen Sylva, stayed in Llandudno for five weeks in 1890. On leaving, she described Wales as "a beautiful haven of peace". Translated into Welsh as "hardd, hafan, hedd", it became the town's official motto.
Other famous people with links to Llandudno include the Victorian statesman John Bright and multi-capped Welsh international footballers Neville Southall, Neil Eardley , Chris Maxwell and Joey Jones. Australian ex-Prime Minister Billy Hughes attended school in Llandudno. Gordon Borrie QC (Baron Borrie), Director General of the Office of Fair Trading from 1976 to 1992, was educated at the town's John Bright Grammar School when he lived there as a wartime evacuee.
The international art gallery, Oriel Mostyn, is in Vaughan Street next to the post office. It was built in 1901 to house the art collection of Lady Augusta Mostyn. It was requisitioned in 1914 for use as an army drill hall and later became a warehouse, before being returned to use as an art gallery in 1979. Following a major revamp the gallery was renamed simply 'Mostyn' in 2010.
Llandudno has its own mini arts festival 'LLAWN' (Llandudno Arts Weekend) which has been running for the past three years (LLAWN01 −2013, LLAWN02 – 2014, LLAWN03 – 2015). LLAWN is a mini festival that rediscovers and celebrates Llandudno’s past in rather a unique way; via art, architecture, artefact, sound, performance, and participation. The festival takes place over three days of the weekend in late September,originally conceived as a way to promote what those in the hospitality sector refer to as the ‘shoulder season’, which means a lull in the tourist calendar. The festival is supported by Arts Council Wales, Mostyn Estates, Conwy County Borough Council, MOSTYN and Llandudno Town Council.

Responses of Authors Accused of Plagiarism by Journal Editors
- 414 Downloads
Dear Editor, plagiarism is an important ethical problem in medicine. There are many cases of plagiarism in several publications. To deal with the problem, medical journals have to set a system for screening and managing detected plagiarism (Wiwanitkit 2013a, 2015a). The retraction of the problematic article is routine practice in case the plagiarizing work has already been published. In the case that it is not already published, rejection is the main practice. In any case, the notification from the journal is to the accused author and his/her institute. Some institutes might respond to the problem while the other might not (Wiwanitkit 2013b). An interesting issue is the response by the accused author. Here, authors may like to share my personal experience as an editor of medical journals. Within the past 10 years, my journals detected 52 cases of plagiarism and all cases were managed by a routine practice and notifications were done. There were various responses from accused authors....

By Ella Christoph
Rebecca Skloot was 16 years old and sitting in biology class when she first learned about HeLa cells, the so-called “immortal cells” that multiply at an extraordinary rate and have allowed scientists to make thousands of discoveries. At the time, Skloot’s father was suffering from a brain virus, and had enrolled in experimental studies hoping to receive treatment. She didn’t ask her science teacher why the cells were immortal (scientists still aren’t totally sure) or what discoveries had been made, but instead she wondered where the cells came from, who the descendants of that person were, and what it would be like to have a family member’s cells proliferate on after their death.
Born in Springfield, Illinois but raised in Portland, Oregon (she lives in Chicago now), Skloot started off in the sciences, getting on the pre-veterinary track in college, but a transformative creative writing class swerved her in another direction. Concurrently applying to veterinary schools and creative writing programs, she settled on an MFA in creative nonfiction from the University of Pittsburgh. Rather than giving up science, Skloot became a science writer and wrote for publications including Popular Science and the New York Times Magazine. For Skloot, who loved both science and writing, it was a natural progression. Both science and writing, she says, are about creative thinking and ideas.
“It’s about following hunches and ideas and seeing where they lead you,” she says. Skloot’s hunch—that the story behind the HeLa cells was worth knowing—led her on a ten-year hunt to discover the story of a black woman from Virginia who died from cancer in the early fifties whose cells, without her knowledge, would be used by researchers across the world. Skloot’s determination led her, eventually, to Henrietta Lacks’ descendants, who, rather than being compensated for Henrietta Lacks’ contribution to science, had received little information and plenty of misinformation. Skloot made it her project to learn their story, and in the process to help them learn the science behind their story.
Skloot’s ability to wind between science and people, telling their stories as she goes, is extraordinary. “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” stayed on the New York Times Bestseller list for thirty-two weeks when it was released last year, in part because of its appeal to both laymen and scientists. Skloot doesn’t dumb down her writing, but also keeps it engaging for readers—like some members of the Lacks family—who may not know exactly what a cell is going into the book. Skloot says it was essential to her that the book have wide appeal. “So much of the book is actually about the importance of everyone being able to understand science and have it be accessible to them, and the damage that can be done when that’s not the case,” she says. In order to ensure that she wouldn’t lose any of her readers, Skloot sent drafts of her book to both “non-science” friends and scientist ones, asking them to tell her where they got bored, or felt there were inaccuracies. She says the effort to access readers was worth it. During her book tours, she said, people will come up to her and say, “I have never understood science, I hate science, and I got to the end of this book and I feel like I understand DNA.”
Her job, she says, is to get information to people so they can engage with it. Science is part of everyday life and politics, she says: It’s relevant to us, now, what’s happening to our tissue samples (you still don’t have to give consent for hospitals to keep samples for research). “My take with all of this was to take all this information and put it out there and say, ‘This is where we are now, this is where we were in the past: discuss’.”

Look our Siri, Google Assistant has just arrived on the iPhone. Announced at the company's annual I/O developer conference in California on Wednesday (17 May), the surprise new iOS version of Google Assistant is available now.
As well as leaping into Apple's famous walled garden to compete directly with Siri, Assistant arrives with a host of new features.
What was previously a voice-controlled personal butler, Assistant can be used by typing when talking out loud with your phone might be too distracting for people around you (or awkward for yourself) - something Siri doesn't offer.
Assistant follows the same conversational paths when typed to as when you speak out loud, so you can type questions to it using natural language, not the jarring, keyword-laden phrases we've all learnt to smash into the Google search bar.
Unlike Siri, your conversational history with Assistant remains in plans, so you can scroll up to see the answers to questions you recently asked.
Although Google Assistant can't replace Siri entirely (or be launched via a long press of the home button, or a voice command), it comes with its own custom widget, which sits on the information panel to the left of the iPhone's home screen. Simply unlock your phone, swipe left to right, and there it is: Google Assistant, ready to answer your questions and react to your commands.
Assistant automatically plumbs itself into other Google apps you have installed on your iPhone. So when you tap on an address shown in Assistant it opens Google Maps, not Apple Maps.
Away from the new iPhone app, Google has made some other important updates to Assistant. Because Google already knows your name, address and credit card details, it can order and pay for goods from third parties without you first setting up an account. For example, with certain third-party food delivery apps you can order a meal by speaking to Assistant and never actually creating an account with that service or typing out your details.
Google has also extended Assistant's ability to work with third-party smart home gadgets. There are now over 70 manufacturers signed up to work with Assistant.
One final new feature of Assistant is shortcuts, where you can create a keyword or phrase to use instead of a long-winded instruction for something you do often.
Say you regularly watch a certain YouTube channel on the TV in your living room via a Google Chromecast. Instead of telling Google Home what to play, where, via which service, you could set up a shortcut where you just say 'put X on' and Google will do the rest. | <urn:uuid:3a5d4c19-275c-43d6-8193-fbd7234e9f64> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/google-parks-ai-tanks-apples-lawn-assistant-iphone-1622121 | 2018-11-18T14:55:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744381.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118135147-20181118161147-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.936507 | 521 | [

Man killed by falling ice in Park City recalled as eloquent
Jon Henry founded Toastmasters Club, focused on inner beauty
February 7, 2017
A Wasatch County man died early Saturday morning from injuries he sustained the day before when a large piece of ice hit him after breaking off a roof in Old Town, the authorities said, a tragic accident resulting from the heavy snows that have fallen in recent weeks.
City Hall identified the man as Jon Henry. He was 50 years old and lived in Midway. Henry lived in the Park City area until a recent move. The accident occurred at a little after 2 p.m. on Friday on the 900 block of Woodside Avenue.
Ray Huntzinger, a Park City Fire District battalion chief, said Henry was washing windows between two houses at the time of the accident. The ice fell from a height of approximately two stories, he said. The Fire District estimated the ice weighed at least several hundred pounds. He was working alone, but someone heard the ice crash down and saw that the man was hit, he said.
"He was pinned under a large piece of ice," Huntzinger said.
Two fire engines and two ambulances responded. Huntzinger said the firefighters could not move the ice. They instead used a sledgehammer to break the ice and free the man.
A medical helicopter transported Henry to a hospital in Salt Lake City. City Hall said he died at the hospital.

Henry was the founder of the Park City Toastmasters Club, a group that advances someone's public-speaking skills. A posting on the club's website indicates Henry won public-speaking awards, including an evaluation contest in 2009 and what is known as a tall tale contest the year before.
"John was eloquent. He just loved story-telling, the spoken word," said Stacy Dymalski, a member of the Park City Toastmasters Club. "He had a knack for speaking."
Dymalski recalled a humorous speech by Henry that described the first time he met his wife. It won a second-place award in a district contest covering four states. It was "poignant and funny at the same time," she said. She knew him for eight years.
"He would toast somebody by focusing on their inner beauty," Dymalski said.
He was the owner of a company called Panorama Window Cleaning. A biography posted on the company's website says he moved from Minnesota to Park City with his family in 1998, left in 2003 and then returned in 2005. The biography says he once was a pastor and supported a variety of causes through volunteer work. Henry was a frequent contributor to the KPCW radio show "Tales from the Wasatch Back."
The snows this winter, particularly since New Year's, have been some of the biggest in the Park City area in years as a relentless series of storms struck. There are numerous houses in Old Town and elsewhere where there appears to be several feet of snow piled on the roof. The danger of ice and snow sliding off a roof has long been known, but it is extraordinarily rare for someone to be struck when a slide occurs. Old Town poses more pronounced risks than elsewhere since the houses are tightly packed and snow shedding from a roof oftentimes lands on a neighboring property.
A fundraising campaign was launched on the website GoFundMe. The Henry page on the website indicates he is survived by a wife and two children. Money raised will assist the Henry family with expenses. The website link is: https://www.gofundme.com/jon-henry-memorial-fund.
A celebration of his life is planned at 3 p.m. on Thursday at Creekside Christian Fellowship on Bitner Road.

Paul Battrick of Driver Trett, a sponsor of the event, takes a look back through the years of progress that have been accomplished in the world of dispute resolution and the involvement of experts in his guest column for the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).
I first had experience of an ICC Arbitration in 1983 when I was asked to support a claimant’s lawyers in respect of quantum issues some three months prior to the first hearing; the final hearing was four years later.
It was a lengthy process to say the least, partly envisaged by the timetable that saw the Tribunal deal with firstly legal/contractual issues, then the merits, and finally quantum with interim awards issued at each stage prior to the final award post cost submissions.
However, perhaps the prime cause of delay was the naivety of two nominated Arbitrators, who were Engineers, in selecting a sitting Judge as the Chairman of the Tribunal.
Every time the Respondent saw a difficult day at the hearings ahead, a delay occurred. Whether it was the unavailability of a witness, sickness of a lawyer or whatever, the hearings were postponed often until the next time the Courts were in recess.
I suggest that every facet of the dispute resolution world has matured for the good since the 1980s, such that costly events such as described above would never happen today.
In respect of third party neutrals, whether they be Mediators, Dispute Board members, Experts that provide determinations or Arbitrators, the ICC provides only those suitable for the task before them.
In construction, the third party neutrals are well versed in the non-legal issues that surround and cause disputes; for instance, they have the ability to disseminate the factual and expert evidence presented to them relative to complex issues concerning extensions of time.
This knowledge and understanding, perhaps a benefit of the large numbers of projects that require some form of intervention to resolve disputes, can only lead to recommendations, determinations, awards or whatever, being closer to the right decision.
The ICC is fortunate to have such an array of talent at its disposal to assist warring factions in concluding matters in a cost effective manner. Indeed, by offering such a wide range of methods to resolve disputes, the ICC is playing its part in keeping the costs of resolving disputes to a minimum. Only those disputes where the parties feel that Arbitration is the best forum need go to Arbitration, since the right decision can be made by using quicker and less expensive routes to a resolution.
Experts too have their role in resolving disputes in a timely and cost effective manner. An early sight of an expert was in a trial in 1782 where the Judge noted, “The opinion of scientific men upon proven facts may be given by men of science within their own science.”
Selection of the right expert at the right time can assist the parties, their lawyers and ultimately the Tribunal reach the right decision in the most cost effective manner; something the ICC and Courts of England and Wales are both striving to achieve.
It was recognised that the expert should be “a man of science within their own science.” Nothing should change to this day; the expert must have expertise in the subject matter and should demonstrate professionalism, understanding, clarity of thinking, flexibility, resilience and be a team player; the latter being of most benefit to the lawyers.
The role of the expert could be considered to be expanding by an early appointment. In this respect, assistance with and preparation of a case is considered to be another benefit to the cost effective management of a case. Such assistance is given, in real terms, when drafting the pleadings, reviewing witness statements, when the lawyers are preparing for cross-examination and generally during the hearing. In addition, the joint expert reports will narrow the issues to be heard – all saving time and costs.
The expert should not, however, be treated as a hired gun. The expert report must be an independent product to be of assistance to the Tribunal. It should be complete stating both the facts and assumptions upon which it is based, including detracting facts. If there is insufficient relevant data upon which to form an opinion, it should be noted.
The lawyers that expect to appoint an expert that is a hired gun are actually doing their clients a dis-service. Cases have turned, and will turn, upon the credible evidence of an expert; for an expert to lose creditability in the eyes of a Tribunal can only harm a case and lead to wasted time and costs. The latter being often dealt with as a penalty within the Tribunal’s Cost Award.
Times have certainly changed for the better since 1983. There will always be disputes – that is why there are dispute resolution clauses in Contracts. However, now there are opportunities for the right decision to be reached in a cost effective manner via a number of dispute resolution options.

Cape Town is one of the fastest growing cities in South Africa, with population growth of 30% between the 2001 and 2011 censuses. It is therefore of utmost importance that the City ensures that infrastructure development keeps up with this growth. The construction of the new 25 million litre De Grendel Reservoir is part of this mandate and, together with future planned developments of the same nature, demonstrates our commitment to creating a well-run city.
The project, valued at approximately R42m (exc VAT,) is located just West of the Durbanville Hills winery, and will provide 48 hours’ worth of potable water storage capacity to existing and future development in Burgundy, Welbeloond and Annandale Ridge (also known as the N7 development corridor.) Construction is currently in its final stages, with completion scheduled for the end of October.
“Between 2006 and 2011, up to 206,493 people moved to the Western Cape, with a significant portion of these residents settling in the greater Cape Town area. The City therefore has to plan ahead in ensuring water security,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Utility Services, Councillor Ernest Sonnenberg.
“The City has made important strides towards expanding access to electricity, water, sanitation and refuse removal, and has been consistently ranked either the best or among the best metros in this regard by both the provincial and national governments – an achievement underscored by the serious water supply problems being experienced elsewhere in the country.”
Further projects of a similar nature include the 35 million litre Spes Bona reservoir outside Durbanville that will eventually provide water to an estimated 18,000 subsidised housing units, and which is a requirement for the Garden Cities Greenville development at Fisantekraal, the future Bella Riva development and other future housing projects along the Darwin Development Corridor.
Consultant engineers are currently working on the preliminary design and it is hoped to tender for construction by January 2015 at the latest. The total project cost is estimated to be in the region of R45m (exc VAT.)
“This kind of behind-the-scenes investment is crucial to ensuring that reliable access to services for all current and future residents is maintained, and the city’s economy can continue to grow. Without services like water and electricity, processes such as job creation and investment are often stunted. Despite the fact that the full value of this infrastructure is rarely acknowledged, it truly is the backbone on which Cape Town is structured,” said Councillor Sonnenberg. | <urn:uuid:bd38d13a-38c1-49b4-9570-16a246d14208> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.cbn.co.za/manufacturing/water-management/de-grendel-reservoir-construction-nears-completion.html | 2018-11-15T00:33:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742322.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114232605-20181115014605-00359.warc.gz | en | 0.955857 | 531 | [

Higher-Education Plan Focuses on Service, Loan Issues
WASHINGTON--President Clinton was poised late last week to unveil a long-awaited legislative package that would create a federally chartered corporation to oversee a national service program, replace the existing student-loan program with a system of direct loans made with federal capital, and call for extensive use of a loan repayment plan that would base payments on a borrower's income.
The scheduled announcement, in a speech to be delivered on April 30 at the University of New Orleans, was to come during the week of Mr. Clinton's 100th day in office. Administration officials said the timing was intended to signal the importance the President places on the legislation.
While the Administration was expected to introduce it as one package, the legislation may be broken up to facilitate movement through Congressional committees.
The House Education and Labor Committee will give almost immediate attention--with few, if any, hearings--to the portion of the legislation that would replace the current loan system with direct loans, an aide said.
That is because the Administration claims the switch will save the government at least $4.2 billion through fiscal 1997. The fiscal 1994 budget resolution approved by Congress includes those savings, and education committees are required to make changes in programs under their jurisdiction to achieve them. The House committee must complete its work by May 14.
Down to the Wire
However, it appeared late last week that the student loan provisions in the package, which are being developed by officials in the Education Department, remained sketchy.
Higher-education lobbyists and Congressional aides who had been briefed on that portion of the legislation or seen draft copies of it said much remains to be detailed.
"It sounded like they're going to leave a lot up to the Secretary through the regulation process,'' said one lobbyist.
Under the Administration's proposal, according to aides and lobbyists:
- The direct loan program would be launched in the 1994-95 academic year and phased in gradually so that it is fully in operation by the 1997-98 academic year, when the current student loan programs would cease operations.
Institutions would serve as the intermediary between the federal government and student borrowers, and administer student loans that are made with government funds. Institutions that do not want to originate loans would use an alternative originator designated by the government.
- A pilot direct-loan program, authorized last year in the Higher Education Act, would be shelved.
- The direct-loan program would encourage income-contingent repayment and would involve the Internal Revenue Service in collecting those payments. In addition, the Education Department would be instructed to study the possibility of having the I.R.S. collect all loan payments.
- The interest rate for borrowers would be lowered slightly once the direct loan program is fully operational. Although aides and lobbyists said the amount of the reduction is somewhat unclear, the Administration's fiscal 1994 budget promises a 0.6 percent reduction.
- The government would have the authority to award contracts for all tasks that are part of the loan process, from origination to servicing.
Easing the Transition
The Education Department would be authorized to work with the Student Loan Marketing Association, known as Sallie Mae, and guarantee agencies to insure as smooth a transition as possible to the new direct loan system. Sallie Mae is the nation's largest buyer of student loans on the secondary market.
The government would study the feasibility of privatizing Sallie Mae, which was established by Congress in 1972 so that a secondary market for student loans would exist.
Sallie Mae officials and other participants in the current program have presented the Clinton Administration with their own proposals for revamping the student-loan program. (See related story below.)
A Sallie Mae spokeswoman said she could not comment on the Administration's privatization proposal until she had seen the legislation.
Most lobbyists and Congressional aides also declined to comment until they had a chance to study the Administration's proposal, although one lobbyist said the idea of I.R.S. taking over loan collections "is very scary to us.''
"They've done a really good job, but there are some things that I'd like to see changed over the next few days,'' said one Senate Democratic aide familiar with the legislation. "It's clearly written and creatively written.''
The aide said that the language allowing colleges to opt out of origination "should put to rest a lot of concerns that some college presidents have raised.''
The national-service program--the drafting of which is being overseen by William Galston, a University of Maryland professor who is serving as a deputy assistant to the President for domestic policy--would receive $5.8 billion through fiscal 1997 to move toward full operation.
The program would be administered by a federal corporation that would eventually assume the duties of the Commission on National and Community Service and ACTION, the agency that runs the VISTA program.
The corporation's 11-member board of directors--whose first members would be drawn from the commission's board--would work with seven non-voting Cabinet members to set a vision for the corporation, approve grants, review policy and personnel decisions, and act on reports from the agency's inspector general.
Although the President is to appoint board members and the Democratically controlled Senate would approve them, Administration officials said the board would be bipartisan.
The corporation would administer a trust fund into which the government makes deposits on behalf of service workers. Donations to the trust would be accepted.
The corporation would make payments from the fund directly to institutions or lenders. Recipients would receive $6,500 for each full year of service--at least 1,500 hours--and those awards, which would be nontaxable, must be used within five years.
According to documents from the White House Office of National Service, the directors of local and national programs would decide which individuals can participate, "on a nondiscriminatory basis and without regard to political affiliation.''
Critics of the proposed program contend that because eligibility would not based on income, it could devolve into one in which only middle- and upper-class students participate.
Mr. Clinton has suggested that he wants a diverse group of participants. A source in the Office of National Service source said that the diversity of the programs will drive the diversity of participants.
"It's really based on quality people and local needs,'' she said. "It's very flexible with no set quotas or requirements.''
A wide variety of local and national program models, which would either be funded directly by the corporation or by state commissions distributing money on behalf of the corporation, would be accepted into the program.
They will be selected based on the need of the communities they serve; their past experience and management skills; and their innovation, sustainability, replicability, and quality, according to the documents.
States would be required to set up a commission, appointed by the governor, to select grantees and to draw up a strategic plan for service.
The Administration's legislation also includes provisions to extend and improve programs created by the National Community Service Act of 1990 to target community service and service learning in elementary and secondary schools.
It would also create a federal service program clearinghouse, called
the Investment Fund for Quality, to assist in the development of
high-quality national-service programs, and extend the Volunteers In
Service To America and Older American Volunteer programs.

- Subject to the further conditions as to eligibility set out in the following paragraphs, the medal and the related financial award is awarded annually at the American Accounting Association’s Annual Meeting to the author(s) of the article, monograph, book or other work, reflecting the results of their research or the application of the research of others, published during the five calendar years preceding the year of the award (2015) which is judged to have made or will be likely to make the most significant contribution to the advancement of the practice of public accountancy (including audit, tax and management services.) Note that in some cases a paper may be accepted for publication in a given calendar year and then may actually appear in a volume that carries an earlier calendar year as a publication date. In such cases, the year that the particular issue was actually published should be the date used to determine eligibility.
- A financial award of $5,000 accompanies the medal. In the event of multiple award winners, each recipient would receive $2,500 (up to three recipients; $7,500 maximum per year).
- Selection of the winner(s) will be made by a selection committee to be appointed each year by the Council Committee on Awards Committees. One member of this committee will be nominated by the Deloitte Foundation, if it so elects.
- The committee may, at its discretion, decide that in any particular year no award will be made.
- The Deloitte Foundation will periodically decide whether to extend this program.
- It is required that the winner(s) be a member of the AAA on February 1 of the year in which the published work is being considered. In the case of co-authored work, at least one author must meet the AAA membership test. However, the monetary award and gold medal(s) will go only to the author(s) who do meet the membership test.
At its meeting in March 1990, the AAA Executive Committee voted that the Deloitte Wildman Medal Award and the Notable Contributions to Accounting Literature Award serve different purposes and that it would be rare that one work would be the recipient of both of these awards.
Instructions for Submitting Nominations
- Nominations are due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on January 31.
- Each nomination must include an electronic copy (Word or PDF) of the article, monograph, book or other work published during the five calendar years preceding the year of the award (2015) that meets the award criteria.
- Please attach the nomination and materials to an e-mail and send to Stephanie Glaser, AAA Awards Coordinator, at [email protected] with "2015 AAA/Deloitte Wildman Medal Award" in the subject line of your email.
- Upon receipt of your nomination you will receive an acknowledgment message from the AAA Awards Coordinator. | <urn:uuid:3a7c36b0-0435-4b56-b736-e570c9a28987> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://aaahq.org/About/Directories/2014-2015-AAA-Committees-Task-Forces/Award-Committees/Deloitte-Wildman-Award-Committee/Award-Criteria | 2018-11-16T05:31:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742978.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116045735-20181116071735-00519.warc.gz | en | 0.944837 | 652 | [

class ApiObject(object): def __init__(self, arg, host, battle_id): self.__dict__.update(self.fetch_map(arg))
In this way I can update the dict internal representation of the newly created object. the fetch_map method
recursively create other ApiObject for nested dictionaries, lists of ApiObject for... lists or plain attibutes for key-value elements.
An issue I early discovered is that some data were ref to other elements or resources exposed through a different service. I didn't want to fetch tons of may be useless data so I extended the ApiObject to implement a lazy behavior for some attributes:
class LazyObject(ApiObject): hydrate = False http_client = requests def http_client_callback(self): pass def __getattribute__(self, name): if not object.__getattribute__(self, 'hydrate') and name in object.__getattribute__(self, 'lazy_load_attrs')(): data = self.http_client_callback() self.__dict__.update(self.fetch_map(data)) object. __setattr__(self, 'hydrate', True) return object.__getattribute__(self, name)
So that if the client code tries to access a lazily loaded attribute and the object is not yet 'hydrated' the remote call is performed and lazy data loaded. It keeps the concrete implementation of the object simple and tight to his own needs
class Hero(LazyObject): def lazy_load_attrs(self): return ['skills', 'items', 'followers', 'progress'] def http_client_callback(self): return load_hero(self.host, self.battle_id, self.name, http_client=self.http_client)
Final mention to the "special cases". Now...
Special cases are never special enough to break the rulesso, lets create rules for special cases!
The rule is:
If the ApiObject implementation has a method named "manage_[key in the dict]" is as special cases and that method should be used to decode/deserialize that entry.
I'm happy of the code right now. It has decent integration test against specs from the Diablo 3 web API, is flexible enough is those specs change in near future and is totally PEP-8 compliant.
You can see, get and fork the code on Github. | <urn:uuid:1bde4577-741e-43b3-aec1-40d7818b5ede> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://sammyrulez.blogspot.com/2012/06/ | 2018-11-16T05:36:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742978.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116045735-20181116071735-00519.warc.gz | en | 0.798749 | 530 | [

The UK government will invest £60 million towards the development of the world’s first air-breathing rocket engine, the SABRE.
Through the UK Space Agency, the Government is set to invest £60 million in the development of the SABRE – a British-designed rocket engine which could revolutionize the fields of propulsion and launcher technology, and significantly reduce the costs of accessing space.
ABRE has the potential to create 21,000 high value engineering and manufacturing jobs; maximize the UK’s access to a conservatively estimated £13.8 billion launcher market over the next thirty years; and provide economic benefits from spill-over technology markets.
Built by UK company Reaction Engines (REL), the unique engine is designed to extract the oxygen it needs for low atmosphere flight from the air itself, paving the way for a new generation of spaceplanes which would be lighter, reusable and able to take off and launch from conventional airport runways.
Reaction Engines’ concept for an 84m-long, unpiloted vehicle called Skylon would be one such spaceplane, doing the job of a big rocket but operating like an aeroplane. The project, which has already successfully passed a UK Space Agency technical assessment, would provide reliable access to space and be capable of delivering payloads of up to 15 tonnes into Low Earth Orbit at about 1/50th of the cost of traditional expendable launch vehicles, such as rockets.
Minister for Universities and Science David Willetts, said:
“SABRE has the potential to completely transform how we currently access space whilst further boosting the burgeoning UK space sector. By supporting this breakthrough technology we are giving the UK a leading position in a growing market of new generation launchers and removing one of the main barriers to the growth of commercial activity in space.”
Alan Bond, who founded Reaction Engines and has led the research for over 20 years, added:
“This significant investment in British high-tech technology is a fantastic shot in the arm for the UK aerospace and space sectors, as well as the broader economy. Thanks to the Government’s support, Reaction Engines Ltd – a private company, and a great example of British enterprise – will now be able move to the next phase in the development of its engine and heat management technology, bringing much-needed jobs and investment to the UK. Our proven revolutionary technology is the result of two decades of hard work and has the potential to change the world just as the jet engine did.”
The £60 million invested by Government will help to prime the pump for the remainder of the investment capital needed for full engine development. It will be staged over two years, £35m in 2014/2015 and £25m in 2015/2016. The commercial investment will look to capture several times the initial investment as part of a 3 to 5 year program.
Having passed vital tests in November 2012, it is the first time a heat exchanger that is light and efficient enough to go into space has been developed. By managing the hot air entering it at high speeds, SABRE would be able to get some of the oxygen it needs from the air rather than it having to be stored onboard the spaceplane. Reaching Mach 5 at 26,000 feet, a SABRE engine could switch to full rocket mode to reach orbit, using on-board fuel supplies. This advantage enables a spaceplane to fly lighter from the outset and to make a single leap to orbit, rather than using and dumping propellant stages on the ascent – as is the case with current expendable rockets.
Over the next four years, the Government’s money will be spent on four major elements of the SABRE engine development each of which is critical to realizing the full production engine design at the end of the project:
- the heart of the investment will be the SABRE engine technical design work
- improving the lightweight heat exchanger technology and manufacturing capability
- wind tunnel and flight testing of SABRE engine components
- and a significant part of the program will be a ground demonstration of the engine.
A prototype SABRE is expected by 2017, and flight tests for the engine around 2020.
The £60 million for SABRE is just one of the recent strategic Government investments in the UK Space industry – a sector increasingly important to the growth of our economy. Under the strategic guidance of the UK Space Agency, the space industry contributes over £9 billion to the economy every year and supports thousands of highly skilled jobs. With this in mind, the Government recently pledged an extra £60 million to the UK Space Agency for Europe’s space program, allowing the UK to play a leading role in the next phase of European space collaboration and securing the future of the European Space Agency’s ECSAT facility in Oxfordshire, including transferring the Agency’s telecoms satellite headquarters to the UK.

The Bush Administration announced the launch of the so-called “Hope for Homeowners” program today aimed at helping more at-risk borrowers stay in their homes.
The program, initially approved back in July, will allow borrowers struggling to keep up with monthly mortgage payments refinance into sustainable 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, so long as the loan amount doesn’t exceed $550,440.
It is only available for owner-occupied properties who do not own any other properties, such as second homes or investment properties, and the new mortgage must not exceed 90 percent loan-to-value of the new appraised value.
Additionally, the borrower must be able to prove that their current mortgage is unaffordable, and as of March 2008, their total monthly mortgage payment must have exceeded 31 percent of their gross monthly income (debt-to-income ratio).
In order to be eligible, the existing mortgage must have been originated on or before January 1, 2008, and six payments must have been already been made.
Borrowers convicted of fraud in the past 10 years, or those who have intentionally defaulted on their debts or provided materially false information to obtain their mortgage will not be able to utilize the program.
The borrower must also agree to share any home equity and future appreciation with the FHA and/or the original lien holders.
The program will serve as a type of loss mitigation option for lenders looking to recoup losses on underwater borrowers, though it’s unclear how many homeowners will be interested in salvaging such a loss instead of just starting over.
The Hope for Homeowners program will be available until September 30, 2011, and complements HUD’s other homeowner outreach program, FHASecure. | <urn:uuid:28954cd7-b117-4c1f-b813-95bc2a31e646> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.thetruthaboutmortgage.com/hope-for-homeowners-program-launched/ | 2018-11-17T14:08:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743521.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117123417-20181117145417-00119.warc.gz | en | 0.956956 | 359 | [

Every summer an honors English class at one of our high schools has to read a novel of psychological suspense by an American author. Every fall, seventh graders have to choose a mystery for outside reading.

No one wants to have a face full of wrinkles and dark circles. No matter how old we grow, we'll never admit it to ourselves that it's finally time to look our age. And we'll keep trying our level best to hide it from others too. Whenever manankind gets stuck in such a crisis, it is the anti-aging cream which makes its appearance as a heroic rescuer.
However, manufacturers are well aware of your secret desires. In order to increase the sale of their products, they lure you into believing that they have the Holy Grail of eternal youth. Moreover, anti-aging creams can have the adverse effects on your skin if not chosen wisely. It is important to do a thorough research and understand which ingredients are best suited for your aging skin.
The purpose of this post is to educate you about the best anti-aging ingredients you should always look for in a cream. So without further ado, here is the list:
Rich in vitamin A, retinol is the most trusted ingredient when it comes to improving the texture of the skin, lightening the superficial brown spots, unclogging pores, and smoothing wrinkles. However, retinol is very strong in nature, and often causes irritation when brought in contact with direct sunlight. For best results, apply a retinol-based cream on dry skin during night and match it up by applying a moisturizer in the morning.
What's the first thing that comes in mind when you hear the term ” acid “? Obviously it's something dangerous, abrasive and harsh. To your relief, hyaluronic acid is the exact opposite. It's reputation comes from its humectant quality. Due to this quality, hyaluronic acid can pull in moisture from the atmospheric air. A lotion which has hyaluronic acid is highly effective in adding to the rehydrating quality of the moisturizer.
Dark spots are a very common occurrence resulting from sun damage and acne scars. And did I mention that it's a often seen facial feature during old age? A derivative of vitamin B3, Niacinamide is a wonder ingredient which prevails pigmentation or melanin from rising to the surface. Moreover, it helps in reducing acne and inflammation, enhance the collagen production, and improve the moisture barrier of the skin.
One of the most popular and highly trusted skin care product these days is the broad-spectrum sunscreen which has a SPF 30 or a higher level. The reason behind this is avobenzone which is the main agent that blocks the harmful UVA rays of the sun. In order to prevent the skin from UVB rays, this ingredient is often paired with oxybenzone or benzophenone-3. For the best results, apply an avobenzone-based product before putting on any makeup or lotion.
Have you ever heard of the term ” wild card “? Of course you have! It is something we generally associate with instability and extremely volatile nature. L-ascorbic acid (or vitamin C precisely) is the wild card ingredient when it comes to hiding your age. As it can become ineffective, extra measures are always taken to make sure that the product does not lose its efficiency. Always go for a skin care product which has L-ascorbic acid in the ingredient list as it is a powerful antioxidant which helps to lower skin inflammation, build collagen, and promote elasticity to plump up skin.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids
Tired of dead skin on your face? Then it's time to go with alpha hydroxy acids. Unlike the hyaluronic acid in nature, these acids are well-known as powerful exfoliators. Once you apply this ingredient on your skin, it starts dissolving the material that joins the surface skin cells. As a result, the dead cells get peeled away and you get your new, radiant and youthful looking skin. However, the skin care product must not have more than 8% alpha hydroxy acids; as a greater dose will make your skin extremely sensitive to the sun rays.
Therefore, it is important that you check the cosmetic labels of the skin care product you are buying. Make sure that the product has any one of these ingredients. Once you buy the right products, making yourself look younger will only become as easy as a ” walk in the park “. | <urn:uuid:758df0e5-4b1a-4505-b9f6-b47a77bbd850> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://wbux.info/the-best-anti-aging-ingredients-you-should-always-vouch-for/ | 2018-11-21T10:52:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113939-00048.warc.gz | en | 0.953659 | 896 | [

Modern horror as we know it today began in the 1970s, with the introduction to horror masters like Wes Craven, John Carpenter, and Tobe Hooper, and the introduction to genre megahits like The Exorcist. The 1980s would build upon the previous decade’s horror successes in a huge way. Between the materialistic mentality of the ‘80s and the technological advancements in special visual effects, this meant horror could go big in a way that it never could before. Advancements in animatronics, and liquid and foam latex ushered in a glorious age of practical effect driven horror.
Thanks to Halloween and the boom of VHS and video rental stores, the golden age of slashers really kicked into overdrive. Previously established horror pioneers further honed their craft, while new voices emerged. In terms of gore, monsters, and scares, the 1980s was vast and rich in both commercial and independent successes. With an overabundance of offerings, narrowing down the best of what the genre offered is a gargantuan task. After pouring over the decade, here are the finest horror offerings of the ‘80s:
The Shining (1980)
Stephen King and Constant Readers may have hated this adaptation for its stark departure from the novel, but Stanley Kubrick’s psychological take wound up making this a far more enduring classic. “Redrum,” “Here’s Johnny!” the hideous Overlook carpet, and infamous room 237 remain just a few of the iconic visuals and catchphrases. Kubrick’s tracking shots juxtaposed against the modernist classical soundtrack are atmospherically haunting. While Jack Nicholson may not have been the first choice to play Jack Torrance, it’s difficult to see anyone else in the role thanks to Nicholson’s complete lack of subtlety in Jack’s descent into insanity. And I mean that as a compliment.
Friday the 13th (1980)
Wanting to distance himself from Last House on the Left, and inspired by Halloween, director/producer Sean S. Cunningham created the beginning of a franchise that would span for 30 plus years. Harry Manfredini’s score is as iconic as the score from Jaws, with “”ki ki ki, ma ma ma” cleverly stemming from the line, “Kill her mommy!” Camp Crystal Lake and drowned son Jason Voorhees became the permanent fixtures of the franchise, but the twist reveal of the killer pushed Friday the 13th into the ranks of best slashers of all time. This classic openly borrows from films before it, but that doesn’t make its cultural impact any less relevant.
An American Werewolf in London (1981)
This seminal horror comedy set the bar high in terms of both horror comedies and werewolf films. Writer/director John Landis, no stranger to directing comedies, wrote the script in 1969 during his work as production assistant on Kelly’s Heroes, but securing financing proved difficult when financiers felt the film was too scary to be a comedy and too funny to be a horror movie. It wasn’t until after the successes of Animal House and Blue’s Brothers that he would finally get his project greenlit. An American Werewolf in London solidified Landis as a horror master, but the true star to emerge was special make-up effects creator Rick Baker, who forever changed horror makeup for the better in the ‘80s. This film is memorable for its biting humor, its scary Nazi werewolf sequences, the charm of leads David Naughton and Jenny Agutter, but most of all is the best werewolf transformation sequence of all time.
The Howling (1981)
1981 marked the year that horror fans would receive not one, but two memorable werewolf classics. Unlike Landis, though, Joe Dante would play this one a little more straight. Originally Rick Baker was hired to handle effects, but the reigns were handed over to Rob Bottin when Baker left to go work with Landis on An American Werewolf in London. Bottin proved more than up to the task, as the sequence that sees creep Eddie Quist’s transformation into werewolf is the highlight of the film.
1981 wasn’t all werewolves, though. Andrzej Żuławski’s psychological horror film remains as captivating as it is confusing. A strangely told narrative about an international spy and the intense relationship he has with this wife, it’s a haunting dissection on the dissolution of a relationship, and the strange love affair the wife develops with a tentacle creature. Leads Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani devote every fiber of their being to their roles, and I don’t know that anyone has so fully committed themselves to their role as Adjani since. Disturbing, unnerving, and confusing, Possession is more of an emotional experience than linear narrative, and there’s nothing else like it.
The Evil Dead (1981)
Childhood friends Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell, armed with only a 16mm camera, cobbled together every penny they could from everyone they knew and set about making a horror film. With not nearly enough money, they enlisted family and friends for cast and crew and set about making essentially the prototype for all subsequent cabin in the woods horror. They were only 20 years old. Putting every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears into their low-budget DIY film included Raimi showing the film to anyone he could find within the film industry, and lucky for us Cannes Film Festival founder Irvin Shapiro, who is also responsible for changing the film title from Book of the Dead, allowed Raimi to screen it at the 1982 fest where Stephen King saw it and sung its praises. The film took off from there, charming fans with its balance of gore and humor, and launching one of the most beloved cult franchises today.
From the mind of co-writer/co-producer Steven Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper, this classic changed the game for the haunted house sub-genre. Visually a stunner with impressive special effects, Poltergeist also largely works thanks to the likeability of the Freeling family. Craig T. Nelson and JoBeth Williams’ Steven and Diane Freeling are the type of couple you root for as they navigate suburban life, a missing child, and, oh yeah, the craziest haunted house this side of the century. Poltergeist also made the unique choice of setting its haunting in a brand new, modern home, altering the trope that hauntings exist solely in creaky old houses.
The Thing (1982)
Adapted from 1951’s The Thing from Another World based on the novella Who Goes There?, this remake flips the bird at anyone that snubs their nose at remakes. Tobe Hooper and Kim Henkel penned earlier drafts of the screenplay before screenwriter Bill Lancaster took a pass, honing in on an aspect from the original novel that would make this remake an enduring classic: the paranoia. John Carpenter’s controlled direction exploits that paranoia amidst the isolated research station and the tension becomes white-knuckled. With creature effects by Oscar-winner Rob Bottin, and an uncredited assist by Stan Winston, this intense thrill ride became a thing of beauty (and horror). Toss in a stunning score by Ennio Moricone and Kurt Russell as the flawed hero, and you have the perfect ingredients for one of the greatest horror films of all time.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
It’s hard to believe, looking back, that Wes Craven had a difficult time finding a studio willing to produce this now classic film. Studio after studio rejected his pitch, save for Walt Disney Productions, who was willing to produce if Craven toned down the content for a younger audience. Fledgling company New Line Cinema accepted, but they were so new at making films that the completion of A Nightmare on Elm Street wasn’t without struggle. The rest is history; New Line Cinema lovingly dubbed themselves the House That Freddy Built, and the film spawned 7 sequels, a reboot, a television series, in-depth documentaries and novels, and a ton of merchandise.
Fright Night (1985)
Written and directed by Tom Holland, this horror comedy works so well because it blends old-school horror tropes with new (for its time). The awkward Charley Brewster (William Ragsdale) may have made for an excellent audience proxy, but it’s Roddy McDowell’s Peter Vincent and Stephen Geoffreys’ Evil Ed that provide the emotional heartbeat of the film. McDowell’s Peter Vincent, a named homage to Peter Cushing and Vincent Price, is a scene stealer. Chris Sarandon’s take on seductive vamp next door Jerry Dandridge, though, triggers both lust and fear in a way that perhaps no other vampire achieved in the decade. Fright Night nailed the laughs, but the first time Charley lays eyes on his newly turned vampire girlfriend, with a Cheshire grin full of sharp teeth? Chills.
There’s something about the works of H.P. Lovecraft that’s extremely difficult to translate to screen. Unless you’re Stuart Gordon, that is. Originally intending Lovecraft’s novella Herbert West — Reanimator for television, an introduction to producer Brian Yuzna steered the course for a feature-length film. Re-Animator has it all; horny dismembered bodies, nudity, a joyous reverence for gore, and the darkest of humor. That alone would make it a memorably fun horror comedy, but what makes this one for the ages is Jeffrey Combs portrayal of mad scientist Herbert West.
The Fly (1986)
The Academy-Award winning makeup for this skin-crawling body horror is legendary. Seth Brundle’s unnerving transformation into the grotesque Brundlefly is the stuff of nightmares. David Cronenberg had already long since proven himself a master of body horror with previous works Shivers, Rabid, The Brood, and Videodrome, but The Fly proved to be a mature masterpiece for the auteur. Why? As visually visceral as the film is, it’s equally as emotionally devastating. The star-crossed romance between Seth Brundle and Veronica Quaife is bolstered by the amazing performances of Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis.
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)
This gritty, authentic feeling take on realistic horror struggled to find distribution after festival release due to its controversial nature. It wasn’t actually released until 1990 with an unrated cut. Loosely based on serial killer Henry Lee Lucas, John McNaughton’s unflinching portrait of American evil stands out in a decade that emphasized the fantastical and supernatural. Michael Rooker’s acting debut as the titular character was so uncomfortably creepy that it’s no wonder he became such a genre mainstay.
Horror author Clive Barker’s Hollywood debut, based off his own novella, packed quite a punch. Nightmarish, sexually charged, and visually arresting; it’s easy to see why the memorable Cenobites, which appeared for only 10 minutes or so of the entire running time, became the centerpiece of the entire franchise. As terrifying as Frank Cotton is, grotesque resurrection and all, nothing holds a candle to the villainy of Clare Higgins’ Julia Cotton. Her icy performance makes Julia one of the most underrated horror villains of all time.
Child’s Play (1988)
Directed by Tom Holland and created by Don Mancini, the quip spouting iconic villain Chucky began this franchise in terror, not the camp the series became known for. Brad Dourif’s voicing of serial killer Charles Lee Ray turned murderous Good Guy doll became a vital component in the enduring quality of the series. One of the best scare sequences of the ‘80s was the moment Catherine Hick’s Karen Barclay inspects the Good Guy doll box to find that the batteries were still there and realization dawns on her that her son’s doll has been operating without them the entire time.
The Blob (1988)
Chuck Russell may have already won hearts with the prior year’s release of Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, but this remake takes a spot on this list instead for many reasons. The screenplay was written by Frank Darabont, who went on break genre fans’ hearts with The Mist and The Walking Dead. Creature Features aren’t nearly as common as they should be, and The Blob is an effective one. The practical effects of the creature and its gruesome kills make this one hold up- despite the cringe-worthy mullet of Kevin Dillon’s bad boy Brian Flagg. Shawnee Smith’s final girl Meg Penny is one for the ages, too. The Blob undeservedly tanked at the box office, but it still is one of the best of the ‘80s.
Brian Yuzna transitioned from producer to director for this insane body horror flick. Though embraced by Europeans for its strangeness, it took three more years to find a release in the U.S. It’s somewhat understandable, as it delivers one of cinema’s greatest twists in history. Special effects wizard Screaming Mad George already displayed an extreme talent for gore and creature effects with the likes of Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, Predator, and Big Trouble in Little China, but nothing compares to the climactic scene in Society. If you’ve still not seen this one, and have been lucky enough to not have it spoiled, go in blind. You’ll thank me.
Santa Sangre (1989)
Alejandro Jodorowsky had already established a visionary well versed in surreal imagery, but this marked the first time he really applied it to horror. The result is visually insane, avant-garde horror film about a man born and raised in a circus that later escapes from a mental hospital and joins his armless mother to enact brutal murders as her “arms.” If that sounds strange, well, the end result is even stranger. It’s visually arresting, bizarre, and gripping in a way that only Jodorowsky could deliver. | <urn:uuid:9812505f-2c89-469e-8c83-20e6c44d31f8> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3459516/best-horror-movies-time-1980s/ | 2018-11-21T10:04:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113939-00048.warc.gz | en | 0.942644 | 3,001 | [

If you created an iTunes playlist entitled ‘English Music’ and set it on shuffle for fourteen items, you’d probably end up with something akin to the O/Modǝrnt Chamber Orchestra’s ‘Fairest Isle’ collation on Sunday evening. A few connections strung together by a patchy programme note does not make for a well-thought-out bill of fare. In an irritatingly Zen twist, the concert’s title song (despite the programme note spending three paragraphs explaining its parent semi-opera, Purcell’s King Arthur) was not performed, even though the forces to do so (mezzo Luciana Mancini, theorbist Christoph Sommer and string instruments) were available. Elgar knew what he was doing when he wrote his exquisite Serenade for Strings: the almost-hesitant end to the first movement finds resolution in the succeeding Larghetto, and to follow it, instead, with Tavener’s Mother of God, here I stand – no matter how beautifully sung by The Cardinall’s Musick – makes for an unsettling derailment of emotion. It was, perhaps, a mercy that, for practical reasons, the proposed insertion of Gibbons’ Drop, drop, slow tears (aka The Silver Swan) between the second and third movements did not happen.
All that said, the performances were generally of a very high standard. Luciana Mancini’s iron-fist-in-a-velvet-glove voice provided beautifully expressive performances of Purcell’s Sweeter than Roses and Britten’s I know a bank. She is a consummate communicator, using words (a sensuous sibilant on ‘kiss’) and gesture to put over the material. It is sad that these were her only items; we were promised a piano – with which, she might have performed a few of Britten’s Purcell realizations, making for a more coherent programme – but, alas, this was not to be.
The Cardinall’s Music gave precise and well-blended accounts of the Tavener (from the gallery), and the Gibbons. Particularly engaging, though, were their second-half renditions of three rarely-performed partsongs by Frank Bridge, to which they brought subtlety and intelligence to point up the pieces’ contrasting natures: the gentle pastorality of Autumn, the high-Victorian style of Music, when soft voices die and the busy wittiness of The Bee.
O/Modǝrnt themselves (packing the stage with 16 string players) turned in some intense and memorable performances. The opening Purcell Overture in G-minor was perhaps a tad heavy (the modern instruments – including two basses and three cellos – making for a stodgier texture than is usual in these ‘authentic’-sound times), and the sole continuo instrument, a theorbo, seemed inaudibly out of place, but the performance expressed, nonetheless, a refreshing assertiveness. The three movements of the Elgar were throbbing with Edwardian sensibility, lush string tone, and a rich underpinning from the lower instruments (this is where the basses and cellos came into their own). The ensemble was directed from the lead violin by Hugo Ticciati, and it is clear that he absolutely ‘gets’ the quintessentially English sound of Elgar. He should, however, trust his players more; they are well attuned to each other, and Ticciati’s loud sniffs for the upbeats (and emotionally-charged moments) are neither necessary nor pleasant.
The group’s improvisation on Purcell’s A New Ground in E minor was interesting exercise (involving simultaneous whistling and overtone-humming), but not entirely satisfying. They brought, however, the same concentration and understanding to bear on Britten’s Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge as they did for the Elgar, subtly demonstrating the different effects of the light touch of a bow (quiet but focused lyricism versus the deliberate production of harmonics in the Romance and Moto perpetuo), as well as some barnstorming martellato playing – resulting in a stirring volume of sound from such a small number of instruments – in the galumphing March and the energetic Bourée classique. | <urn:uuid:34ccf26c-b5b3-40bb-9e44-788368db6a2a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.musicomh.com/classical/reviews-classical/fairest-isle-wigmore-hall-london | 2018-11-21T10:05:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113939-00048.warc.gz | en | 0.955921 | 928 | [

Their hips and joints will rock the health-care system
From The Globe and Mail:
The baby boomers are about to become senior citizens and if the first 61 years are any indication, their idea of “rock on” doesn’t include a quilted blanket and rocking chair from which to quietly watch the world pass by.
The ramifications for Canada’s public health-care system are disquieting: There will be more people using more of its services for a longer time, and proportionately fewer people working to pay for these services. And seniors require a greater degree of physical maintenance and repair. This, in turn, means Canada is in for a surge in demand for health-care services – and from a generation that has been the most potent political, economic and social force in society.
A major area of concern is bone and joint health care. Demographics suggests this as the biggest single area of demand growth. Seniors are most susceptible to incapacitating pain and loss of mobility from arthritic joints; porous and weakened bones from osteoporosis; and disfigurement from inflammatory joint disease. Up to 20 per cent of patients with a hip fracture die in the first year after the fracture.
Added to this is the rising rate of obesity in the population – an omen of increasing bone and joint problems. Baby boomers, the first generation to grow up on fast food, may want to rock on but they are doing so with a bulge around the middle that puts stress on their skeletal structure, especially the knees, hips and spine. Obesity increases nine-fold the risk of developing osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that is the leading cause of hip and knee replacements.
Meanwhile, the demand for hip and knee replacements can’t help but grow. Many people reject joint replacement out of fear of the knife, keeping surgery volumes substantially lower than they would be if the fear factor did not exist. It can be expected, however, that as technology continues to advance, services improve and artificial joint manufacturers recognize the potential of direct-to-consumer advertising, demand will be driven closer to actual need. It could conceivably become hip to have a new knee. If so, costs will escalate.
Musculoskeletal conditions, including all bone and joint problems, are already the most costly health-care burden in Canada after cardiovascular illness. They cost the economy an estimated $17-billion a year in health resources and lost productivity. They are also the leading cause of disability, accounting for approximately $12.5-billion – almost 40 per cent of long-term disability costs.
So what are we to do about a generation that intends to rock on with aging bones and joints, defying time and gravity? Clearly, we need to become much more innovative in our approach to health-care delivery.
Let us begin by adopting the common-sense concept of evidence-based care in everything we do for patients. This means continuously searching the world for what works best and combining the evidence with sound medical judgment to shape and guide the menu of health services and products.
We can benchmark services against international leaders. Benchmarking is an indispensable part of any quest to continuously improve.
We can standardize to ensure there is consistent and equitable service for all patients.
We can ensure services are integrated and delivered in a team environment that uses the skills and knowledge of our health professionals to maximum value.
We can build in accountability mechanisms that require patients to take an active role in their treatment and recovery.
And we can do much more to prevent disease by improving public education.
These are some of the principles that underpin a new model for hip and knee replacement developed and piloted in Alberta. The pilot project, conducted over a 12-month period and involving almost 1,650 surgeries, showed that the new model dramatically reduced wait times, got patients out of hospital sooner and improved their outcomes. The wait for a consultation dropped from 145 working days to 21 days. The wait from consultation to surgery fell from 290 working days to 37 days. Stay in hospital declined almost a day and a half – to 4.7 days from six days. Almost nine of every 10 patients were up and mobile the day of their surgery, and patients were better able to function physically and had less pain following surgery.
These results were accomplished by engaging in one of the most comprehensive and collaborative efforts in health care service delivery ever seen in Canada – a partnership of researchers, medical practitioners, service leaders, policy-makers and administrators. And the pilot showed that significantly improved health care is possible when innovation and collaboration converge.
Baby boomers may not be able to defy time and gravity. But they may just rock Canada’s public health-care system into urgently needed reform.

The staff of the State Fair is busy planning for 2011 and in doing so the Marketing Team is busy securing sponsors for this year’s event. Last year the Fair had more than 80 sponsors who made monetary or in-kind investments to help support the State Fair’s many programs and activities. “The opportunities available for businesses who are looking to target our 300,000 Fair visitors are endless,” commented Shannon Pearson, Marketing Director. “The Fair’s many events allow us to target and segment attendees throughout different areas of the Fair.” The Fair puts an emphasis on satisfying the marketing goals and objectives of its sponsors. “When planning the sponsorships, we make sure the needs of our sponsors are met and that our sponsorships are a logical investment ,”added Jennifer Ashley, Assistant Marketing Director.
The State Fair continues to be the largest annual event held in the state and an ideal marketing platform for sponsors to target a lucrative North Dakota market. State Fair sponsors are viewed by nearly half the state’s population in only nine days. No other medium or event can offer this type of exposure to a captive audience. In addition to this incredible amount of exposure, sponsors receive a variety of benefits, including a sponsor’s reception and concert tickets. The promotional benefits available depend on the type of event being sponsored. With the creation of the North Dakota State Fair Foundation, donations can also be made tax free through the Foundation’s 501(c)3 status. For more information on sponsorships at the Fair call the office at 701-857-7620 and speak with Jennifer or Shannon. | <urn:uuid:9fd28c4a-8199-413d-ba8f-aa54a2e4749a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://blog.ndstatefair.com/2010/01/01/state-fair-sponsorships/ | 2018-11-13T22:19:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.952981 | 333 | [

MerryLegs goes to Mare Camp
|January 12, 2017||Posted by Melinda under Equine Endurance|
…and loads in a trailer with Mel solo, AND wears a blanket. Read all about it plus more!
She’s a true rockstar and after she blanketed perfectly on Wednesday I decided that the trailering on Saturday wasn’t going to be a big deal and if it was it was *me* not her that was the problem….and on Saturday there was zero drama. Even though it was raining, in the mud, and in a trailer she had never seen before. We really are going to go down the trail together as partners on a not-so-distant-day aren’t we?
Clarification: she’s gotten in the trailer with just me before, but I’ve never completed the whole thing by myself – loading, shutting dividers and doors, and driving off :). | <urn:uuid:027b9ba7-8b0e-48af-bfcf-a8861146cf76> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://melnewton.com/2017/merrylegs-goes-to-mare-camp/ | 2018-11-13T23:13:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.972713 | 197 | [

Here we see the illustrious cuboctahedron, or vector equilibrium. Along with the truncated octahedron, it can be considered, in some sense, a three-dimensional analogue to the hexagon. Though it has no hexagonal faces, the cuboctahedron can be seen to consist of four hexagonal rings or planes arranged in the manner of tetrahedral symmetry. That is, if one took a tetrahedron, replaced its four faces with hexagons (as for instance with a truncated tetrahedron), and collapsed all four hexagonal sides so that they all shared a common center, the vertices of the hexagons would describe a cuboctahedron, with each vertex shared between two intersecting hexagons, collapsing the original 24 vertices of the four hexagons into the 12 vertices of the cuboctahedron. (Likewise, of course, the cuboctahedron can simply be seen as a sort of "expanded" tetrahedron, with four of its eight triangular faces representing the original four faces of an inner tetrahedron, the remaining four triangles representing its four vertices, and the square faces representing its edges.) Tetrahedral symmetry being the simplest type of polyhedral symmetry, and the only one suited to this sort of fitting together of hexagonal planes, the cuboctahedron represents a unique extension of and analogue to hexagonal symmetry in three dimensions. | <urn:uuid:80c1cc14-7996-4df1-a37b-3170cc5c893c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://hexnet.org/tagged/cuboctahedron | 2018-11-13T22:09:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.941308 | 296 | [

I have been thinking about working out my arms, therefore this seemed to be appropriate. This post is actually from Buzzfeed @Buzzfeed. It is my hope this quick exercise is as helpful to you as it has been to me. What workouts would you recommend to others?
I hope everyone is well. I wanted send out some 4th of July love and healthy food ideas. Also I have included some tasty vegetarian options. Holidays can be tricky when you are struggling vegetarian. Here go some recipe ideas.
When friends get together naturally there will be some drinks. Here is a tasty light drink that you can enjoy. It is watermelon rose sangria. Doesn’t it look tasty?
If you want to keep cool and enjoy a relative healthy treat. I got something for you. It is a red, white, and blue Popsicle where preparation work is done in the freezer.
It seems consumers and food manufacturers such as General Mills are focusing on the consumption of more natural food. I figured that it was a good idea to review the impact of eating all this artificial food in America.The movie Fed Up gives a good overview and history of the problem. The public and now General Mills knows the solution to the problem of society eating junk food,it is simple just eat real food. Keep an eye out for my blog post later this week exploring why General Mills is shifting towards making more natural foods. Do you think General Mills has good intentions?
As someone who craves salads in their sleep, I know that is weird and not everyone has such wonderful interactions with salads. The biggest complaint is that salads are not very filling. The other thing that I notice is that people have either an old or narrow definition of salad. When I say old, it means that it that horrible iceberg lettuce, carrots, and tomatoes. Salads are usually put into the box of always having to include lettuce. Today, I will be shattering all your preconceived notions about salads, while outlining how to make a salad that is filling. Here go the steps to creating a filling salad.
Salads don’t necessarily need to include lettuce. A salad may include whole wheat couscous, quinoa, or even brown rice as base. All of those salad bases would fill you up along with having a slow metabolic burn.
Ok, a leafy vegetable
Yes, I know, but you say lettuce based salads don’t fill you up. My suggestion is not to use iceberg lettuce. Kale, Spinach, baby Spinach, and dark green leafy red romaine are very filling lettuce. These lettuces will assist you in filling full.
These types of veggies will assist you creating a filling salad such as: avocados, cucumbers, cheese, eggs, tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower.
This is critical choice when eating a salad. The creamy salad dressings tend to put on the extra pounds, so select carefully. Oil and vinegar with spices are an easy low-calorie salad dressing. Generally, a salad dressing that is oil based will be fewer calories.
Many people are either omnivores or carnivores, thereby desiring some protein on their salad. One has many options if they are vegetarian seeking protein substitute, you can do soy artificial chicken strips, beans, crumpled soy, and tempeh. If you are more of a pescatarian, then a piece of baked fish such as snapper, salmon, or tuna might be your preference.
I love cheese and adding it to a salad. I find that it makes the salad tastier.
It is my hope that this information makes you rethink salads. They can be filling and tasty. Also my personal favorite is to make a salad with either couscous or quinoa as the base. When I use either of those, the salad really seems to fill me up. Enjoy eating your salad. Happy Fruits and Veggies Month to you!
I usually don’t share this type of stuff with you; however this has been weighing on my heart for few weeks. This post is really to support any patient suffering with a health related challenge. Actually, I am penning it for a real person who will remain nameless. The reason I try to keep this blog going is to support and encourage those struggling with health problems. Here is letter to friend which is part personal and supportive to all those struggling with a health problem with a focus on cancer.
I hope you are well and battling back against the cancer. As I said to you many times in my zealous support and love for you that this disease will not beat you. You will come back stronger better than ever, since you have always taken such excellent care of yourself. The image that I will always have of you is being big, strong, and healthy. You are and will continue to be a force to be reckoned with. As friends, we have been through many up and downs, so this disease will not come between us. Sadly, I cannot begin to understand everything that you are going through. My solution is to love and support you the best way that I know how, which is a lot of calls, moments of silence wishing you well, and being there for you when you are ready. The question plaguing me is what I can do to support you and others. My thought is list some resources that may be helpful to people with cancer and those supporting cancer patients. Here goes.
PatientsLikeMe is a resource for patients struggling with a health challenge.
CareZone is a great app for managing the chaos of scheduling related to your condition as well as communicating with loved ones.
The app called Check Yourself is for breast cancer self exams which is important in the detection and prevention for breast cancer.
This site covers an important niche Black Men Health’s. Health disparities are a major challenge, so this site is an important site servicing an underserved population. Great resource, please visit.
Here is a website for those caring for cancer patients. This resource has been around since 1944, it is called Cancercare.
Walgreens and The Komen foundation have come together to support underserved populations that are battling breast cancer.
I just want to say in closing, friend I don’t know what you are going through. All I can say is that I love and care about you. My friendship is forever and a day, so I am here whenever you are ready.
Readers, I hope this information is helpful. Also please provide any information or websites that you found helpful in the comments section. I tried my best but there are probably better or other resources that one should contact. | <urn:uuid:531a340f-366c-4f03-b7b6-d45608e0e28d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://urbanhealthychick.wordpress.com/category/struggling-vegetarian/ | 2018-11-13T21:54:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.964991 | 1,369 | [

A Learning Style Comparison between Synchronous Online and Face-to-Face Engineering Graphics InstructionInternational Education Studies
PublisherCanadian Center of Science and Education
AbstractThe implementation of a successful engineering program to a synchronous online curriculum is subject to many impacting factors. One such factor, that has not seen much investigation, concerns learning styles. Student learning styles may have a dramatic influence on the success of a synchronous online deliverable engineering graphics curriculum. The immediate objective of this research was to look at the effectiveness of teaching Engineering Graphics with a synchronous online delivery method and to compare it to a more traditional face-to-face delivery method. Using Kolb’s learning style inventory, student learning styles in both educational settings were investigated and analyzed to discover the student population’s prevailing learning style. Data relating to class success was collected with surveys, personal feedback, and by observing overall student performance based on grades and responses to the survey material presented. The study targeted 6 separate sections of an engineering graphics course taught by the same instructor, in the same physical setting, and with identical curricula over a two-year period. Data analysis allowed for an introspective look into correlations between academic success and the learning styles of the students. Findings suggest that (1) Converger students receive significantly higher final course grades when they are in a synchronous online environment; (2) Assimilator and Converger synchronous online students show significant improved differences in their final open-ended project scores over their face-to-face taught peers, the prevalent learning style within the course. Suggestions to accommodate learning styles are present.

German meal-kit delivery firm HelloFresh reported a pick up in revenue growth on Tuesday and said it hoped to break even by the end of the year, boosting its shares.
HelloFresh, which listed on the Frankfurt stock exchange in November, said preliminary fourth-quarter sales rose 58-59% to 250-253 million euros ($309-$313 million) after a rise of 49% in the previous nine months.
The company, which competes with struggling U.S. rival Blue Apron, said sales growth had picked up in the United States, its biggest market, with sales more than doubling in constant currency terms. Its international business grew by just under a third. Full results will be published on March 21.
HelloFresh, majority-owned by German e-commerce group Rocket Internet, also said it had reined in losses and was on track to reach group profitability by the fourth quarter of this year.
HelloFresh shares, which have performed well since their listing, were up 6.5% by 0908 GMT.
By contrast, shares in Blue Apron have tumbled since its own listing in late June, particularly after Amazon.com registered a trademark for a possible rival service.
Both firms faces mounting competition from deep-pocketed rivals such as Amazon.com as it moves to increase food delivery services after acquiring the Whole Earth Foods grocery chain in August. U.S. supermarket chain Albertsons acquired meal-kit rival Plated in September. | <urn:uuid:7269bcc2-dd54-46b8-a98d-fb1c80decbe9> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://fortune.com/2018/01/30/hellofresh-share-price-blue-apron/ | 2018-11-15T04:21:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742483.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115033911-20181115055911-00239.warc.gz | en | 0.977498 | 300 | [

Pamela: I’m doing well, how are you doing?
Fraser: Good. 300 episodes.
Pamela: We’ve got a lot of audio out there that is about 150 hours of audio recorded and edited by poor innocent Preston, for the most part.
Fraser: Well that’s 300 episodes of just Astronomy Cast. We had the question shows and we did the Weekly Space Hangout; we did a lot. The total amount of audio that we’ve recorded is way more than that.
Pamela: Almost all of it is available between our podcast and our YouTube channel so if you want to learn more, check us out on YouTube.
Fraser: Do you remember when we first did the podcast and we had like ten or twenty and people would catch up in a couple of days and then just nag us? Nagging e-mails like “Why haven’t you recorded more?”. We don’t get those any more.
Pamela: For a while we used to actually get “I logged in at ‘such and such’ and hour and it wasn’t up yet!” and that was insane. Now people are more forgiving because we do travel a lot and go on summer hiatus. Three hundred episodes!
Fraser: Yeah 300 episodes, that’s good. We’re getting them up there.
Fraser: We created Astronomy Cast to be timeless, a listening experience that’s as educational in the future as it was when we started recording. But obviously, things have changed in almost 7 years and 300 episodes. Today we’ll give you an update on some of the big topics in space and astronomy. What did we know back then, and what additional stuff do we know now? The concept of this show was kicking around in our heads for years and every time we’ve wanted to get at it, we’ve both had a really hard time thinking of some of the big stories that have really changed.
Pamela: I don’t know about you but the thing that I found the most surprising that has changed is actually something that is kind of mundane. For me the biggest change was that we went from thinking that Jupiter gets hit by a giant rock from space every 500 years to every few months. That isn’t exactly the ground-breaking, lets-rewrite-the-textbook-change that people might expect in 300 episodes?
Fraser: That’s it!? That’s the big update that you’re aware of now is that Jupiter gets hit more often than…
Pamela: It’s the most surprising thing that seemed least likely to get changed that much.
Fraser: I guess we got that bit of insight into that with Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 but since then have spotted lots of other rocks hitting Jupiter.
Pamela: Yeah, there are lots of things that we expect to be, no pun intended, earth-shattering scientific discoveries. The fact that you have a pretty good chance of catching Jupiter consuming rocks is just one of those things that I think is really kind of awesome in a subtle science kind of way.
Fraser: Okay so lets peel this like an onion: We’re going to start close to home and talk about the earth and some of the stuff that is in the earth moon system and then go outward with the concepts that are new… or new-ish. With the earth I think, this year, we got hit by meteor at Chelyabinsk and that was, I think, a surprise. It wasn’t Jupiter getting hit but we’ve been talking for years and years about the risk and the general public had their eyes opened to this possibility that rocks come from space and crash into the planet and could cause a serious loss of life.
Pamela: This is one of those things that you and I disagree on the importance of. For me it’s it’s like “Meh… we knew that was going to happen, big deal. Phil Platt wrote the book a long time ago, it’s all good.” But it was a huge news event because of the dashboard cam. I’m not sure which is more revolutionary, the dash cam or the fact that their are a lot of windows exploded in Russia. Sure, rocks fall from space and we get hit periodically.
Fraser: I think you’re exactly right, this is no surprise to us. We’ve know how big it is and how often it happens, it’s really kinda right on schedule. I think for me, I wanted to add this one to the list and you under protest, was just that it became the awareness of the whole world. Everyone started to get on that same frequency as us. Maybe we haven’t discovered something new but now it’s more of a shared human experience that we should be a little afraid of rocks coming from the sky and we should take action to prevent this as a problem.
Pamela: That’s true.
Fraser: Yeah, that’s kinda where I stand. Lets start with something new that we can both agree on and that is how much water there is…
Pamela: Yeah, world after world we have, over the past several years, slowly but surely found progressively more evidence of water from initial radar returns of the moon indicating that the south pole basins might have water. We then had Phoenix landing on Mars and digging up ice. We now have Mars Curiosity continuing to find evidence of moisture. We have Messenger and Radar returns from Mercury indicating that Mercury may have water so it’s kind of a matter of if you find something that is permanently shadowed or Mars, and thus cold, you’re going to end up finding water there. That’s just kind of awesome. It opens up whole new possibilities for how easy it’s going to be to visit places and produce fuel and hydrogen processes and eventually go and live on Mars. The moon’s water is a little hard to extract, I don’t see that becoming “Mars is a harsh mistress type, Ag stations on the moon” but it’s still an interesting future to look forward to.
Fraser: There are craters that are in permanent shadow of the moon that you could theoretically build your space colony or lunar colony on the surface of the moon and extract the water from these permanently shadowed craters. There were these missions that impacted the surface of the moon in 2009 and sprayed up water particles into space and a lot more than what they were expecting.
Pamela: Now that was kind of over-stepping it. It sprayed up a lot of dust and they did find there was a few percentage, by volume, water in that dust. It was minerals that had water as a part of the mineral composition. One thing that a lot of people start to envision is that there are frozen craters that have impact residue of comets just waiting. You scrape off the dust, scoop up a handful of ice and have drinking water. This is not the case. These are literally minerals that have water imbedded into them and it would take a lot of energy to extract them. Luckily, throwing part of a rocket into the moon is a fairly high energy event and it did allow us to detect that water.
Fraser: The amount of water on Mars is a lot more significant than anyone was expecting and both the current amount of water that is there right now but also the amount that was there in the past.
Pamela: This is one of those things that when we first started this show there were hints that maybe some of these channels that we see on Mars happen to be old river beds but people kept trying to figure out how to explain them using wind process, aeolian processes instead of liquid processes, fluvial processes. Back when we were first starting to get money to go to the lunar and planetary science conference in 2007 we were unsure. People were open to the idea that maybe it was water but today people just take for granted that these channels that we see appearing to flow out of craters are actually created by water flowing out of craters. When we see these weird craters that look like they splattered stuff all over the place, we’re like “Yeah!”. Something his frozen land, melted it, and splattered watery muddy stuff all over the place. It’s now just accepted that Mars is a world with liquids.
Fraser: The first evidence from Spirit and Opportunity was very tantalizing that we saw these minerals that would only be created in the presence of water.
Fraser: Yeah but now with Curiosity the evidence is overwhelming. You have long periods of time when there was abundant amounts of water available on the surface of Mars in a liquid form for a long period of time. The evidence is mounting that there a lot more water under the surface of the planet now. This is not like big vast rivers and oceans under the surface but like water mixed in with the regalif, down a few feet or a few meters.
Pamela: There is some sort of water table of briny water
Fraser: Yeah but that there was vast amounts of water on the planet in a liquid form for a long period of time and this is really exciting and one of the really big steps that we need to be able to find life, hopefully, with future missions.
Pamela: Mars Curiosity is happily finding those tumbled river stones and those tear drop shaped soil deposits from that flowing water. It’s straight out geology.
Fraser: I think on an interesting side note is that spacecraft last longer than anyone was expecting. We always talk about how Spirit and Opportunity were supposed to be 90 day missions.
Pamela: They were supposed to be dead before we started this show.
Fraser: They were supposed to be dead before we started this show! Spirits now dead… but Opportunity is still going. It’s dragging parts along the surface.
Pamela: It’s gimped with one wheel lifted.
Fraser: Hubble has been repaired and repaired again.
Pamela: The Cassini is another one of those missions that keeps going and going and going.
Fraser: I think that’s something that now when the engineers say “Well this is only going to work for 90 days”. Unless there is something that is going to run out in 90 days the expectation is that those missions are going to last a lot longer.
Pamela: Herschel ran out of coolant so Herschel is no more. Many other spacecrafts however just keep going and going.
Fraser: So I think one of the other big surprises is that we learned a ton about Vesta and that was big thanks to Dawn.
Pamela: This was one of those “Wow that came out of nowhere” surprises as well. This is the asteroid that we knew was somewhat interesting. It’s huge as far as asteroids go; it’s one of the top by mass and size. As we studied it from earth we were able to realize that it had some really interesting topography and rotational characteristics. It was worth visiting. Once we got there what we realized that the interesting looking crater that we saw on it’s south pole was the mother of all craters. This is a crater that when Vesta got hit, the entire asteroid crumpled. There are wrinkle ridges and it’s rotation was probably altered in the process. We also learned that there are processes that we can’t even apriori anticipate that happened. With an object as small as Vesta you wouldn’t expect to find boulders but Vesta is covered in boulders. Where are these objects coming from; why are they not getting flung out into space to become very tiny asteroids on their own. We’re having to rethink the processes of what crumble, what effect, what wrinkle, what are all the different things that you can do to an asteroid that end up producing what we see when we look at the maps that we get from Dawn.
Fraser: I think it’s great. Again seven years ago we had the best images that we had of Vesta were just these hazy radar scans of it.
Fraser Yeah, Hubble but it was nothing more than a potato, as you call it, you know, far away. But now we’ve got these images of Vesta done at like sub-meter scales. It’s amazing the amount of resolution that we are seeing Vesta with. It’s a whole other world now. Of course we’re on this line because we’ve got Vesta but we don’t have series yet as of when we’re doing episode 300.
Pamela: Come 2015 we’ll have not just series but we’ll also be getting Pluto on the Horizons mission.
Fraser: Pluto! So we know that in seven years from now we will have at least two things that we can talk about.
Pamela: I think by episode 500 we’ll be able to cover those.
Fraser: Okay cool. You mentioned Jupiter and then jumped to the head of the episode with your thoughts about Jupiter but that is really significant the fact that Jupiter is smashed a lot more often than we were ever expecting. It kind of has implications for the other planets in the solar system like Saturn or… us.
Pamela: We’re still trying to figure out if Jupiter is just the safety blanket that protects us from asteroids or if it’s presence stirs things up more than it protects us. We’re still working out all of the details. Luckily, the evidence that we’re getting hit more often than we thought for earth isn’t there. The 1 in 500 year asteroids luckily appear to be staying 1 in 500 unlike Jupiter where they are one every few months.
Fraser: I think we’ve covered the solar system a bit. Lets move out a bit to the larger Milky Way, our local environment. I’d say that one of the biggest stories for the whole of space exploration and astronomy now is the prevalence of extra-solar planets. It’s not a surprise if you had told me seven years ago…
Pamela: For you it’s not a surprise, but for many it is a surprise.
Fraser: When we started recording this show we already knew of a couple of hundred extra-solar planets and did a couple shows on them. Now the number of extra-solar planets is in the thousands and the variety is filling out our expectations but also giving us a bunch of surprises.
Pamela: Here we’d always imagine that as stars similar to the sun: starts that are high in metal content and are middle of the mass range for stars. They’re not too massive which means that they give off vast amounts of light. We thought it blew the region empty. We figured that stars that were as big as ours and not too tiny and thus wouldn’t have the mass to form planets. We figured sun-like stars probably, occasionally, most likely, had planets. What we’re finding is that really massive stars, the ones that we thought blasted their entire region empty, have planets too. Those little tiny stars we assumed there was no way they could have planets but they do as well.
Fraser: Big planets and little planets and planets that are close in and planets that are far out…
Pamela: The one thing that we seem to have gotten right is that you do have to be high metalicity. So far we haven’t found any planets in the globular clusters and we haven’t found any orbiting random very low metalicity star. You need to have the high metalicity but that means that our region of the Milky Way seems to be rife with rock or orbiting stars.
Fraser: So have we learned anything about our Supermassive black hole? I think we were still on the fence as to what percentage of galaxies have Supermassive black holes.
Pamela: I wasn’t
Fraser: You weren’t? But now it’s fairly certain that they all do?
Fraser: Alright well lets move on to something else then which is kind of even bigger, dark matter. One of our earliest ten shows were about dark matter and since that time astronomers have been working hard to figure out what dark matter is.
Pamela: We haven’t gotten that far in terms of figuring out what it actually is. We have more and more evidence that it’s not some new factor in gravity that we forgot to take into account. We already knew that from results with the bullet cluster from prior to the beginning of the show back in 2002. Since then, using a variety of different surveys, we’ve been able to start mapping the 3D distribution of dark matter. Now we understand that more or less it does trace out where the visible matter is located but there are places where it’s at a higher density than the visible matter might cause you to anticipate. There is places where it’s at a lower density than the visible might cause you to anticipate but more or less the two follow one another. It’s really neat to see these three dimensional structures of how the dark matter is clustered throughout our universe. These maps have been put together using a technique called microlensing where you look at how light from objects in a variety of different distances is twisted like going through a carnival mirror by the gravity of that dark matter. By deconvolving all the mutations that happened to the light, we are able to trace out how much dark matter is in certain areas. We still don’t know what it is but we know where it is.
Fraser: There are some really interesting experiments that are gearing up now to answer questions about what dark matter might be. I know there was a number of experiments that are being done that are trying to get to the bottom of what dark matter is. They’ve had some interesting and tentative results. I think we’re still five years too early to say we’ve got a 6 sigma detection of dark matter on what it is. I think we’re close..er.
Pamela: It’s one of the frustrating things of the detectors is that they aren’t quite there yet. This is where we were when we were with the Higgs Boson. When we started this show there were tantalizing results from the Tevatron up in the Chicago area that maybe from a lab had detected the Higgs Boson. It wasn’t enough of a detection for anyone to stand by and say “Yes we have”. We had hints and I think we’re at that same stage with dark matter. We know what’s required to detect it both in terms of detecting it in an accelerator like CERN or detecting it in a heavy water detector like Sudbury or Kamiokande or any of these other detectors that are generally used to detect neutrinos We don’t have the sensitivity yet to say for certain that we know that were looking at. It’s like looking through binoculars that are out of focus and guessing that you can see a bird on a fence post. You’re probably right but there is a chance that it’s a squirrel or just dust on your lens.
Fraser: I think there is enough resources now. Your analogy is perfect for the Higgs Boson which we’ll talk about in a second. You get these tantalizing hints which helps you narrow down what kind of equipment and experiment that you’re going to need to better accurately say yes or no to the right level of scientific certainty. You get these tantalizing hints that you’re going on the right path and then we follow up with much better and finer versions of the experiments. I think it’s right around the corner and I will bet that when we have this conversation again in five or seven years, dark matter will be feeling like it’s… we’re pretty sure we know what it is now, or at least what its characteristics are. I sort of put dark energy on the list… we don’t know anything else about it.
Pamela: No… no (laughing)… no… that’s all we know.
Fraser: Yeah it’s still there.
Pamela: It’s still there.
Fraser: Have we defined whether or not it’s increasing? Are we going to get the big rip or not?
Pamela: So as near as we can tell, and these numbers are constantly getting refined, the amount of dark energy per volume of space has been constant since the formation of the universe. It’s one of those things that should bother anyone who has ever learned about the conservation of energy. Why is it that as the volume of the universes increases the volume of dark energy per unit volume stays constant? That’s just troubling. If the universe is getting bigger then the density of dark energy per unit volume should be getting lower but it’s not so where is it coming from? Maybe it’s a Scalar field, maybe it’s this, maybe it’s that quiescence has gotten thrown in… we don’t know anything other than it’s there.
Fraser: If you want to know everything we know about dark energy feel free to go back six and a half years and listen to the episode then. It’s about the same. Lets talk about a different kind of particle which is neutrinos We’ve discovered that they can change their type.
Pamela: Yes and this is actually really good information. When I start learning astronomy everyone talked about the solar neutrino problem and how we weren’t detecting the neutrinos that we should be detecting from the sun. When I was in graduate school there was a huge debate as to whether or not neutrinos have mass. We figured out before this show started that they do have mass and the fact that they have mass opened up the possibility that the problem with solar neutrinos is that they chance identity part way to the earth from the sun. They bounce between electron neutrinos and tau neutrinos and neutron neutrinos and it turns out that it’s true. There’s been a series of three different experiments over the course of us recording these 300 different episodes. Each of those different experiments have shown neutrinos of a different flavor than what was created or a different type than what was created indicating that as they travel they are taking some of their mass and converting it to energy or taking some of their energy and converting it to mass and it changes type.
Fraser: So take our episode on neutrinos and throw it out because it’s garbage now.
Pamela: It’s not totally garbage.
Fraser: (Laughs) Right.
Pamela: We talked about the possibility of this happening but there weren’t three different experiments confirming it yet. We just had the hints of what we though reality was.
Fraser: There for a while neutrinos moved faster than light… then they didn’t. It was a mistake in the experiment
Pamela: Someone didn’t screw something in the right way.
Fraser: Lets move onto the other particle which is the big one: the Higgs Boson. We recorded an episode leading up to it. We have one called “The Large Hadron Collider and the Search for the Higgs Boson”.
Pamela: What’s kind of awesome and I think has been disconcerting to many of a journalist, is that the Higgs Boson is just pretty much what we expected. It’s a happy little boring particle that isn’t doing anything exciting, it doesn’t indicate that there is anything wrong with the standard model of physics, it doesn’t indicate that there are any supersymmetries out there and those of us that are content with the standard model, because really supersymmetry is complicated and it just seems like people are making up particles with funky names, there wasn’t any necessity for all of the particles in supersymmetry and the Higgs Boson says that there isn’t any necessity for any of that. If there is an underlying physics that is waiting to be discovered, we haven’t found it yet.
Fraser: I think one of the earliest shows that we went into, I think it was like episode four or five, was talking about the big bang and talking about what we know about the age of the universe and how it expanded and so on. We were going over and over 13.7 billion years, 13.7 billion years… turns out we were wrong!
Pamela: I was always careful to say 13.7 plus or minus .2. With those error bars I was still fine so this is why you need to use error bars.
Fraser: But 2013 at the Plank observatory he gave us the most accurate size of the universe.
Pamela: It came out with 13.82 billion. What’s kind of funny is to go back and look at all of the results from further and further years that the Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe and then the first results coming out of Plank and the longer we looked at the universe, the older it got. It sounds obvious at the few-years level but it kept getting bigger and bigger where from 2004 it was 13.7 then 2010 it was 13.77 and then with Plank in 2013 it was 13.82. Along the way we’ve also gained barionic matter so the amount of normal stuff of atoms and photons and electrons and all of the normal stuff that we’re used to dealing with has gone from an estimated 4% to an estimated 4.9% of the universe.
Fraser: So we’re still a solid number three?
Fraser: After 27% dark matter and 68% dark energy
Pamela: And the amount of dark energy has gone down from 72% to 68.3%
Fraser: Not that the amount of dark energy has dropped since we’ve started recording this show just that the accurate measurement of what it is and what it’s always been is…
Pamela: We better understand it.
Fraser: Yeah, well I’ve got one last little sort of speculative thing. What would be some big discoveries of some big announcements; some big announcements that allow us to overturn some other shows. For example: Lets say, although Curiosity isn’t equipped to, it finds evidence of life on Mars.
Pamela: Curiosity can find fossils but I can’t imagine that life has had enough time to create something that would create fossils.
Fraser: Yeah I’m saying that if the search for extraterrestrial intelligence turned up as a signal then we could add to the things that we now know. There is life on Mars; things we now know, there are aliens in space; things we now know, we now understand what dark matter is or what dark energy is. What is some other stuff that one good experiment or one good result would give us some big answers?
Pamela: It’s hard to imagine what amazing result would overthrow things because those are the things that usually come out of left field. The discovery of dark energy is something that no one could have anticipated. It was one of those factors that we all learned about and then disregarded and set to zero. Now dark energy is there. Lamda has a value. Have to redo all of the equations and all of the textbooks. I think if we found life it would be a “Yes, we anticipated that sort of thing now-a-days”. I find it hard to imagine given how closely we’ve considered the probabilities of different things happen, what would be that real rewrite-all-of-the-text-books-throughout-everything-you-know kind of discovery.
Fraser: What is something that maybe you’re waiting for more confirmation. It feels in your heart that it’s probably true but we’re just waiting for a little more confirmation.
Pamela: I think the one thing that we don’t know yet is what is the prevalence of life forming where there is liquids. We have the opportunity should we ever get ourselves to Europa, Titan we can look there, Mars we can look there. So many moons around Jupiter and Saturn have liquid water. We believe that under their surface or trapped in cavities there is water. If we can start finding life on multiple worlds it would tell us that it’s easy for life to be created but if we don’t find it anywhere it means that it’s probably hard. This starts to answer questions about the final issues we don’t know anything about with the Drake equation. It still doesn’t tell us how long the civilizations usually live. It still doesn’t answer the Firmy paradox but at least it gets us to know if life is common or if life is rare and that’s something that we know nothing about.
Fraser: Well happy 300 Pamela.
Pamela: Happy 300 to you too.
Fraser: Here’s to 300 more.
Fraser: Thank you
Pamela: Thank you

Mumbai to host international powerboat race in March 2017
The event is scheduled to be held from March 3 to March 5, 2017mumbai Updated: Dec 02, 2016 11:35 IST
With an aim to bring the city and its vast waterfront under the global spotlight, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Maharashtra government is organising an international powerboat race (also known as P1 racing) in the Arabian Sea off the Marine Drive promenade. It is collaborating with a sporting events firm Procam International India.
The event is scheduled to be held from March 3 to March 5, 2017.
“This is the biggest adventure sports on water. The best speedboats from over the world will participate in the race. The racing track will be in the sea off the Marine Drive promenade between the Nariman Point land’s end and Girgaum chowpatty, so that people can gather at the promenade to watch,” a senior official from the state tourism department said.
While Marine Drive will not be entirely closed to traffic during the event because the main action is in the sea, there will be traffic restrictions for a few hours during the event. The event can be viewed from the promenade free of cost, the official said.
The state tourism department, which is coordinating the event, plans to market Mumbai as a tourist destination. All throughout the duration of the race, the government is looking for Mumbai-specific branding opportunities.
“There will be a buoy installed in the water with a graphic depicting Mumbai. The event will also be telecast live across the world, bringing Mumbai and its waterfront, especially Marine Drive, in the spotlight,” the tourism department official said.
Mumbai residents are not new to this kind of powerboat racing event. A similar race was held in 2004 at the same location with 12 international teams. Overall, 23 boats sped around 60 laps in front of lakhs of spectators along the boulevard as well as international television audiences. The event was also accompanied by a display of water acrobatics.
The tourism department is currently in the process of securing clearances and coordinating with multiple agencies such as the Indian Navy, Coast Guard, Mumbai Port Trust, the Mumbai police and traffic police for the event.
An official working on the event said, “So far, 19 countries are likely to participate in the event. The number will undoubtedly increase. It is still early days and more countries are likely to confirm their presence.”

Like a Hero by Michael J. Bowler
After their parents die in a tragic car accident, Vincent and his younger brother, Dennis, struggle to find ways to take their minds off of the cards they’ve been dealt. Then Dennis has the idea to create a superhero to finish his dad’s work, which, as a police officer, was to keep the streets and citizens of Los Angeles safe. By day, Vincent works at UCLA in a lab, studying various dangerous drugs and trying to support himself and his younger brother, Dennis. By night, while Dennis is home manning the police scanner, he becomes Invictus, donning a mask and cape and taking to the streets to fight bad guys and help people. When Invictus starts spending more time with two boys who live heartbreakingly tough lives on the streets, Dennis decides to help out in the only way he sees possible—by joining a gang that sells a super-drug that destroys brain cells at a rate that’s 100,000 times faster than that of a normal drug. Dennis hopes he’ll be able to glean information to help his brother shut down the operation, but what he doesn’t realize is that the gang has other plans for him that might cut his mission…short. Will Invictus be able to stop the gang from irrevocably harming the citizens of Los Angeles? Will Invictus be able to save his brother, or even himself?
Like a Hero‘s quick pace and complex characters keep the reader on their toes and begging for more. Michael J. Bowler weaves a compelling story that is highlighted by its diverse characters from different backgrounds, although at times the characters’ lifestyles seemed a little too mature for a young adult audience. And even though the dialogue felt stilted at times, the characters felt alive. At first glance, Like a Hero is a riveting narrative about a superhero fighting to make his beloved city a better place. But it’s even more than a good story. Like a Hero is a call to society to be better and to sacrifice themselves in order to help others—a message that anyone, not just young adults, should listen to closely. | <urn:uuid:557dd70a-0738-40fc-ab7e-17316d3ede66> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://redcityreview.com/reviews/like-a-hero-by-michael-j-bowler/ | 2018-11-16T10:13:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743007.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116091028-20181116113028-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.966493 | 450 | [

Sometimes when things are too easy, one suspects that they will fail -- like, what's the catch? But these moist and delicious pumpkin bars prove that one can bake their cake (easily) and eat it too.
This recipe is so simple and so quick, that it's the perfect baking project for children. With ingredients found in most pantries, you can put together the batter for this dessert in minutes. As with many vintage recipes, this one is incorrectly titled, for this is a sheet cake, not typical bar cookies. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
mix thoroughly until combined. Pour into a 9 x 13 inch pan and bake.
Voila! Pumpkin sheet cake!
Cool slightly and cut into bars.
Production notes: I followed this recipe exactly, baking it in a 9 x 13 inch pan. When it was written, cans of pumpkin contained 16 ounces. Today, most have just 15 ounces, but it will be fine with the slightly lesser amount.
Typical of many vintage dessert recipes, this is not overly sweet. So you can make a frosting of confectioners sugar mixed with a little milk or simply dust the cake with confectioners sugar. | <urn:uuid:58b370b5-0c3f-4d8a-8aaa-17527f7fd6af> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.acakebakesinbrooklyn.com/2014/09/worlds-easiest-pumpkin-bars.html | 2018-11-16T09:23:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743007.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116091028-20181116113028-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.949275 | 245 | [

The Magistrate Court, also called Small Claims Court, is an informal court that handles money claims of less than $15,000, offering a quick and inexpensive process for complaint resolution. This court also issues arrest and search warrants and presides over all county ordinance violations. Dade County's Chief Magistrate is Joel McCormick and he is assisted by Magistrate Charles Morgan. Trials and hearings are conducted when scheduled by the Court.
The Chief Magistrate assigns cases, sets court sessions, appoints other magistrates (with the consent of the superior court judges) and sets policy for the magistrate court. The number of magistrates in addition to the chief is usually set by majority vote of the county's superior court judges.
Qualification for Magistrate
To qualify as a magistrate, an individual must reside in the county for at least one year preceding his or her term of office, be 25 years of age, and have a high school diploma or its equivalent. A magistrate court judge may also serve as a judge of another limited jurisdiction court in the same county.
The Magistrate Court process is much simpler, less complex and often quicker when it comes to having cases resolved than in other courts. In the Magistrate Court it is not mandatory that you have an attorney for the presentation or defense of your case. Persons representing themselves may present or defend their own cases, whether civil or criminal in nature.
Court of Inquiry
Magistrate Court is a court of inquiry, not a court of record. Although the Civil Practice Act does not apply, the rules of evidence do. Magistrate Court is also the forum in which a majority of the dispossessory, or eviction, actions are filed and addressed. It is also the forum in which violations of county ordinances are addressed. In general, the maximum sentence that can be imposed for violation of any one county ordinance is a $1,000 fine and confinement for 60 days. The Judges of Magistrate Court also handle the Initial Appearance Hearings of individuals arrested on felony warrants.

It’s a pretty good story. A baby born under a death sentence becomes a prince of Egypt…becomes a Hebrew Batman bringing vigilante justice…becomes an exile…becomes a hero…becomes a shepherd.
Something interesting stands out to me about Exodus 2. For 22 verses, we read the incredible, you-can’t-make-this-up-if-you-tried story of Moses’ life…and at no point in the story do we read single reference to God. Not once.
I wonder if Moses ever sat on a hillside and asked the questions that we ask: How did I end up here? Is all of this random? Chance? Luck? Does it mean anything? I wonder if Moses ever took stock of his life, looked towards heaven, and asked, “Why did all of this happen? Why has the road been so crooked? Why didn’t you show up more?”
But when I read Exodus 2, the text starts to ask me a question, “What if God did show up? What if He shows up all the time...but I just miss him? What if HE is moving, but I don’t see him?” | <urn:uuid:6bb3537e-bd4f-458e-802c-b5aec3aa2dc4> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.highrocknorthshore.org/sermonpodcasts/2017/5/18/out-of-egypt-from-the-nile | 2018-11-17T15:39:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743714.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117144031-20181117170031-00559.warc.gz | en | 0.938106 | 256 | [

On July 14th 1990 the world forever changed. Nava Goodman, a rambunctious creative social butterfly always had a love of entertaining. Starting out, her creative love was nurtured at her home Church in Worcester, Massachusetts where she participated in every church play and music recital. Although her alma mater, Lincoln University, did not offer theater, Nava used her acting skills as a platform when becoming Miss Lincoln University, and the chapter president of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated. She was also able to develop her artistic skills while acting in the university's first sitcom, " In the Life of Tone," which aired on campus regularly and in nearby townships. Nava hasn't worked with large names or acting studios yet, but her creativity and skill nonetheless endures. You can enjoy original works on her social networks (IG: NavaGoodman) where she showcases her own projects that she has written, starred in, directed, produced, and even shot upon occasion. Being new to Los Angele, Nava is overly excited that her FIRST casted project in this time zone is "Wanda" in the hit gospel play When Sin Comes Knocking.

I am so excited I have to share that I am now an official partner with the campaign This Girl Can.
This Girl Can is here to inspire women to wiggle, jiggle, move and prove that judgement is a barrier that can be overcome.
I personally didn’t want to go outside in public and do any form of exercise as I thought everyone would be looking at me and laughing. Gyms scared me – they are full of slim fit people who do not turn into a sweaty tomato like me. In the end I thought just do it and so I did and so can you.
If this girl can then you all can! | <urn:uuid:2769a3a4-7ea8-4bfc-ae00-bb94a24d364c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://fatgirlfit.co.uk/2015/02/12/entry-32-this-girl-can/ | 2018-11-18T23:38:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744750.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118221818-20181119003818-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.977855 | 132 | [

Welcome to Westport, Weston and Wilton, where you’ll be cranking out spin routines, enjoying cocktails and dinner waterside, and shopping in style in no time. To give you a jump start in living your new culture, we offer a few highlights of the area for your consideration. Sure, we’ve only skimmed the surface of the things you need to know, but when settling into a new town, some discoveries are enhanced by the slow reveal. So, go explore—especially now as we soak in the balmy breezes and sunny days of late spring and early summer! Check back in with this guide for the inside take on dressing, eating, decorating and celebrating like a local.
How to Roll
BEING QUAINT AS WELL AS FULL-THROTTLE GO-GETTERS IS OUR SUPER POWER, SO GET UP TO SPEED, PRONTO
DARE TO EXPLORE
Landmarks, historic districts and homes, and hunting for a parking spot—let the good times roll
If you love historic properties, try to meet Morley Boyd, a research consultant (cthousehistories.com) whose family roots date back to the early eighteenth century. He specializes in historic preservation and architectural history, so we asked him for a favorite historic home or great drives for history buffs. We got both. He and colleagues Wendy Crowther, Helen Garten and John Suggs suggest Westport’s newest historic asset: the State Scenic Road, the first of its kind in our community.
Begin Westport’s 1.8-mile segment at the intersection of Route 1 and Compo Road South—look for the blue route-marker in the shape of the State of Connecticut. “It was in this particular spot that a Revolutionary War conflict took place between 1,850 British soldiers and a handful of brave American militiamen,” Boyd notes. “The heavily armed invading British force, which landed at Compo Beach on April 26, 1777, was proceeding north to destroy the Continental Army’s vital supplies in Danbury when it encountered robust gunfire from members of the local militia hiding along the roadside.”
The route then heads along Compo Road South and past the entrance to Westport’s Baron’s South Park—“twenty-three acres of open space, including its fascinating 1950s mansion known as Golden Shadows—but also past dozens of historic eighteenth- and nineteenth-century houses.”
A highlight is the red barn at 124 Compo Road South. “To see why the Connecticut Trust for Historic Preservation recently named this building to its ‘Top Ten List of Most Significant Barns in Connecticut,’ take a quick, one block diversion from the Scenic Road to see the rear of the structure. Turn right on Baker Avenue, then left on Sleigh Lane—go to the end and behold what nineteenth-century Irish immigrants did with brick and stone. You won’t believe your eyes.”
Back on Compo Road South, continue southward to the intersection at Bridge Street. Here the route turns right and crosses the historic Saugatuck Swing Bridge. “Built in 1884, this span is the oldest active bridge of its type in the nation and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.” (For more on the bridge, go to Westport Preservation Alliance’s website at preservewestport.com.)
The route concludes at “the doorstep of the revitalized Village of Saugatuck, an area that offers a wide variety of shopping and dining experiences.”
ROLL WITH IT
The owner of Westport Bike Rentals, Tracy Yost (aka The Bike Lady) is on a mission to get people biking. She offers preplanned routes, and this summer teamed up with the Two Oh Three (a local lifestyle brand) to create maps. “The Westport route is called The Town Jewel in honor of Compo Beach,” she says. See it at westportbikerentals.com/rent-ride-locations.
TAKE A BREAK
Westport Library’s parking lot accesses the Levitt Pavilion and a walkway to Westport Farmers’ Market. Also, find relaxing pocket parks at westportct.gov.
Lifelong explorer, former president of The Explorers Club and host of Born to Explore, Richard Wiese, finally settled down to raise a family in Weston—when he’s not introducing his TV groupies to exotic places and interesting people around the world. In January, his show premiered on public television. More at borntoexplore.net.

OUR TOWN’S SOCIAL MEDIA MAVENS SPREAD THE NEWS (AND NOT A FEW OPINIONS) IN A FLASH…
To be in the know, you’ll want to follow local bloggers and join online groups. Here are a few locals who chase down news around our towns:
Newcomers to Westport should check out Dan Woog’s blog 06880danwoog.com. With humor and heart, mad writing skills, and ties all over town, this lifelong Westporter knows everybody’s business: what it was, what it is and who’s involved. The site provides a new post at least once a day, some short, some lengthy. “For more than eight years, I’ve been honored to write the ‘06880’ blog,” Woog tells us. “The tagline is ‘Where Westport meets the world,’ and I’m still amazed every day how many connections there are. People, places, politics; looking back, looking ahead; current Staples students and those who graduated decades ago; arts and athletics, restaurants and stores—and, of course, people who have no idea how to park correctly.”
If you’re a foodie, check out ctbites.com. If it falls on a plate or fills a glass, CT Bites’ Stephanie Webster and team are on it. Restaurant openings, chef changes, food events, new wine room—all are covered with equally good writing and photography and then served up on a well-designed site. In short, omnivores and vegetarians can get their fill of food-related news.
When you need a recommendation for nearly anything, check out Kami Evans, the founder of Kami’s Kloud. This Westport mom is a master networker who enjoys connecting people through her social media groups. Check her out on Facebook and expect an invite quickly. She posts often about store and restaurant openings.
Another local resource is Our Town Crier (ourtowncrier.com), whose mission is to tell you what’s going on around town. This blog covers businesses, events, nonprofits and more.
You the friendly type? Right this way to Westport Front Porch. This robust FB group was started by Westporter and novelist Jane Green. Ask for recommendations or advice, or just stop by. Like a good neighbor, the group keeps things friendly.
From hard news to an announcement that Longshore golf season is open, westportnow.com has you covered. This news-and-information site has been keeping Westporters informed about the community for fourteen years. Former First Selectman Gordon Joseloff, who had a career in international journalism, is editor and publisher.
Because it takes a village to raise a child, newcomers might want to check out westportmoms.com, run by Westporters Megan Rutstein and Melissa Post. It covers such things as family-friendly events and mom-friendly new stores.
“The Board of Selectmen of the town of Weston did something very smart, which many towns could learn from,” says communications pro Bill Douglass about Weston Way, a townwide initiative to help newcomers. “They decided to tap into the deep pool of local talent, drawing on the expertise of professionals from various walks of life, to apply to join official volunteer subcommittees focused on various themes, all toward the overall goal of making the town a better place to live.”
Some on the committee have young families, are new to Weston and appreciate the top-ranked schools, down-to-earth lifestyle and easy access to New York City.
“We were thunderstruck that a town with so much going for it wasn’t really on the radar of more like-minded people.” The solution: thewestonway.com.
Marketing the town for the digital age starts with its website. “Rather than an online bulletin board for town announcements and such,” he says, “it’s more the friendly face of the town for the outside world to see.” Douglass credits resident and marketing pro Marc Karasu with developing the site, among other online initiatives. “We want anyone contemplating a move to Fairfield County, who Googles terms like ‘Best schools in Fairfield County,’ to see Weston pop up, front and center!”
How to NAVIGATE LONGSHORE
Eventually, every Westporter will end up at Longshore. Read on to see why, and know that while the entrance is a glorious, straight driveway lined with rows of trees, it eventually splits off in various directions. It’s confusing enough that newcomers may wonder if they’ve detoured to a path for golf carts (probably not). All paths here lead to something good.
Designed by Orrin E. Smith in 1922, the Longshore Club Park Golf Course is 18 holes, 5,845 yards, par 73. The course rating is 69.0, with a slope rating of 115 on Rye grass. Get your pass from Parks & Rec. longshoregolfcourse.com
Built in 1890, Longshore was originally a private estate before it was a country club. The town purchased the land in 1960. Since 1984 Rory Tagert has been proprietor of The Inn at Longshore, a popular destination for photo-friendly weddings and events. innatlongshore.com
Meet up for the sunset-watching, cocktail-pouring and steak-cutting delights of the good life. The recently opened, coast-hugging restaurant, Pearl at Longshore, has amazing views. pearlatlongshore.com
With lessons, rentals and events, Longshore Sailing School gets sailors out on the water, without the expenses of owning a boat. longshoresailingschool.com
Embrace the delights of mid-winter by ice skating at the popular outdoor, family-friendly skating rink. wpalrink.com

To conquer your house party here, do your prep work properly.
Acaterer organizes everything, but to be ready in a moment’s notice, prep your party closet. Rosinne “Roe” Chlala of Festivities Catering and Events shares her catering tricks for smashing hospitality.
Save a closet, or part of one, for party prep stuff. Know where you stored your wine glasses, special platters, favorite cheese board, candles, cocktail napkins and so on. Also, use plastic wrap to cover platters and the top of wine glasses, so your supplies stay clean. When it’s showtime, you’ll be ready.
TEND TO THE BAR
Stock your bar pantry with ingredients for your signature cocktail—the one you’re famous for. For example, Festivities created the French Kiss Margarita drink for International Women’s Day and Dress for Success. A combo of grapefruit juice, cranberry juice, limeade, tequila and a chiffonade of basil and a slice of jalapeno, she’s a little flirty and has a lot of sass. Keep the juices and tequila on hand, tend to a pot of herbs, and store jalapenos in the fridge (they last forever). If you have many guests, make a batch ahead of time and store it in a beautiful pitcher. Chop the basil and slice the jalapenos and divide them among the wine glasses. Also, keep a few bottles of your favorite wine in the pantry. When the doorbell rings, you’re good to go.
SHOW OFF A BIT
Add a touch of the unexpected to your presentations. Look in the floral design department of your favorite store or, would you believe, Home Depot or Lowe’s. Imagine how great your food will look in a vessel that was never meant for the way you are using it. Creativity goes a long way to delighting your guests—have fun!
Your dream house isn’t going to design itself: You need a creative support team. In our towns, you’ll have your pick of pro designers to help you settle on the perfect shade of white for your walls, mix of fabrics and style of furniture. Browse area design centers, like Lillian August, as well as downtown boutiques (there’s a bunch, like White Birch, in Sconset Square) for the extras. And research architects when you decide to add a home yoga studio. Of course, sign up for area house tours. Find them at Near & Far Aid and WHS.

How to SHUCK AN OYSTER
Actually enjoying oysters is not important. It’s just that living here, with its long history in the oyster business, you simply need to look authoritative when you, inevitably—perhaps at a beach party—are handed an oyster to shuck.
You got this.
1. Look the hinge to see how tight the oyster is.
2. Are there bubbles? Go easy, the shell might be fragile.
3. Grip the oyster in left hand, hinge facing outward.
4. Insert oyster knife at hinge and twist.
5. It should pop open, revealing that slimy, totally New England delicacy.
6. Add a spritz of lemon with or without a dash of horseradish or cocktail sauce—or go raw.
7. Go for it or hand it to someone else to slurp down in one big gulp.
How to CHILL OUT
Loosen up with live music and good food. Here’s a sampling…

How to Crush Goals
TO-DOS, NETWORKING & JUST GOOD OLD GETTING DOWN TO WORK IS SERIOUS BUSINESS; WE JUST MAKE IT LOOK FUN
COMMUTER RULES 101
The predawn alarm sounds and you’re off to ‘Newh Yawk’ City to join the rat race or build your business empire. First, you have to get there.
While you may need advice on where to park, how to get a good seat, figure out the unofficial rules of the Bar Car or maybe discourage conversation, we thought you’d want to know that DonutCrazy recently opened in the station. You’ll get good coffee and anything-but-plain donuts for Westporters—these are creative masterpieces, such as Candy Apple with apple jelly, topped with bourbon apple glaze, caramel dots, white chocolate shavings and caramel drizzle.
So, to sum up: Scream into the parking lot, run to the donut shop, hotfoot it to the platform and line up to get on the train—then just push your way through to “your” seat, or the one you call yours.
At the end of the day, you can dash off to a workout or home to see the kids, or…you could stop in for a drink at Harvest Wine Bar and Restaurant. It’s run by the Siguenza family, who owns a few restaurants in Fairfield County; while Westporters were all a-flutter when they took over the old and long-loved Mario’s bar and restaurant, they were wooed and quickly warmed to the new spot. Harvest also makes a good impression for a business meeting, informal or not. You’ll spy lots of designer power ties or power pumps at day’s end, as locals settle back into Westport speed with a good meal and drinks.
A SPACE OF YOUR OWN
Places to Go When You Want to Work Anywhere But at Home
Having a home business doesn’t mean you want to spend every minute there (love you, honey!). So, if you’re looking for occasional office space—a desk with a splash of creativity and a bottomless pot of buzzy local coffee—ask for Jennifer Balin at Sugar & Olives. It’s a one-month commitment for access five days a week ($300) or ten-pack of day passes ($200); plus breakfast socials on Wednesdays.
Also check out Westport Library, which has conference rooms and plans for a video/recording space. Additionally, the Westport/Weston Family YMCA lends out its conference room (picturesque views). Otherwise, do what everyone else does: Hole up at a table at Starbucks.
How to WRITE LIKE A WESTPORTER
EMILY LIEBERT ON THE LINE BETWEEN FACT AND FICTION
Westport influences my novels by… “providing me with material. All I have to do is sit at The Granola Bar or Terrain for a few hours and listen to the chatter.”
A novel set here wouldn’t be authentic without a character who… “dresses exclusively in athleisure.”
Every good story has conflict. Westport offers such conflicts as… “which place is really the best place to get eyelash extensions.”
If an old friend moves here, I’ll tell her… “what goes around comes around. Oh, and of course beautiful beaches, excellent restaurants, stellar schools, successful people and great retail.”
NEWBIE NOVELIST ASKS: Should I use the name Westport? “Yes. It lends an authenticity to the story, and readers feel like they’re learning something about a place they may never have been.”
Should my real neighbors, friends and family inspire characters? “How can they not? Although, the intimacy of the resemblance is up to you, especially if it’s not favorable. When in doubt, deny, deny, deny. ‘No, of course the woman with the philandering husband isn’t you!’ “
Pitfalls to avoid? “Factual mistakes. Accuracy is extremely important when you’re writing about a certain place at a certain time.”
How to Train to Win
ANYTHING YOU CAN DO, WE CAN DO BETTER—BUILD A BETTER BODY, NO SWEAT
MOVE THAT BODY
No matter how fit locals are, they always want to do better. Up your mad skills with fitness options galore.
MIX IT UP, TOGETHER
Bored of the same old workout? Try classes that are always mixing up the “routines.” OrangeTheory Fitness (westport.orangetheoryfitness.com), to open at 645 Post Road, Westport, moves group classes through sixty minutes on the treadmill, rowing machines and floor/weight work—all under a coach’s direction.
BOXING AND MORE
Feeling fiesty? Try Rich Dean Boxing & Fitness (richdeanboxing.com) or step into the ring at Westport Boxing & MMA (westportboxing.com )at Calasanz Martial Arts Center. You’ll be feeling all sorts of Rocky at this Philly-style training facility. Sally Cadoux, who owns Athena Personal Safety (athenaempowered.com), has a studio here too; she also can be found at local places, including Downunder and JoyRide (Sally is doing a self-defense workshop there on May 13 for women and teenage girls ages sixteen and up). The workshops are goal-oriented, empowering and anything but boring. Participants learn about strategy—as well as how to throw a mean right hook.
BELLY TO THE BARRE
“I took my first Pure Barre class three years ago and fell in love,” says Westporter Emily Liebert. “One year later I trained to become a Pure Barre teacher, so that makes it two years of teaching—which have flown by. I still take about five classes a week in addition to that, because it’s the best way to lift and tone my entire body, stemming from my core. After about seven classes, I noticed a marked difference in my overall abdominal strength. My seat was higher; my thighs looked stronger and longer; and my arms appeared sculpted for the first time! If you like to sweat it out, Pure Barre also offers a Platform class that is so fun. Think barre meets modern-day step class with killer music.”
Find Emily’s classes at Pure Barre, 291 Post Rd E.; purebarre.com/ct-westport.
RACE OR JUST COAST
Sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding and getting out on the water isn’t as hard as it might seem—no boat ownership required. For fun or competition, consider Longshore Sailing School or Cedar Point Yacht Club to train as junior. Otherwise, learn to row at Saugatuck Rowing and Fitness Club, which boasts a nationally competitive program (as well as a newly public restaurant and Happy Hour Thursday outside). For kayaking and SUP, try Downunder Kayaking and Paddleboarding, which provides rentals and lessons, hosts competitions and arranges fun paddles (June brings a clambake on Cockenoe Island and a full moon paddle).
TRY A TRI
Get serious with triathalon training—open-water to swim (or pools at the YMCAs); hills to climb (or endurance cycling training at TriFit and Sherpa); and long roads for flat-out sprinting to the end (or treadmills at any number of gyms, from the YMCA, which has its own club for triathletes, to Intensity).
Getting your body summer ready isn’t all about sweat. Book a spa session, too!
During workouts, muscles release lactic acid, and you may feel soreness the next day. Massages help push it through and bring in fresh blood and nutrients to improve flexibility, so you can work efficiently and effectively. To decrease inflammation and help with soreness, New Beauty Wellness (1137 Post Road E., Westport; newbeautywellness.com) also recommends magnesium bath flakes and arnica by Naturopathica.
How to REFUEL AFTER A WORKOUT
You crank out a spin routine or hold a plie at barre…even toss a few tires at CrossFit…right with Westport’s fittest. So where do you go to scarf down food after? Here’s a taste of eateries and markets with fresh green juices, earthy coffee and/or food to feed your engine:
Double L Market
Garelick & Herbs
Green & Tonic
The Granola Bar
Westport Farmers’ Market
How to Name-Drop
REPEAT AFTER ME: “I LOVED YOU IN THAT!” A HANDY SHOUT-OUT TO A FEW ACTORS,WRITERS, PHOTOGRAPHERS & ARTISTS TO KNOW
Used to the bright light of international fame, these super-talented artists seek refuge in the ’burbs.
While Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman were open about calling Westport home, other stars have somehow kept the secret guarded—but not to their friends and neighbors here in Westport, Weston and Wilton. Not to gossip, but as a public service to newcomers, here are a few names to know. Not only will it give you something else to boast about to your old friends, but will also help you spot James Naughton at the farmers market, and help you play it cool.
Our towns have a long love affair with the arts. Look to the Westport Country Playhouse, Westport Arts Center, the Levitt Pavilion, MTC, all of the dance companies, writing programs, the high school theater and voice programs, Westport’s Famous Artist School and so on. You’ll hear whispers about Leonard Bernstein, Noel Coward, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Lucille Ball and Martha Stewart once living here. All true. Other names of current or former area residents (in no particular order): Melissa Joan Hart, Michael Bolton, Phil Donahue, Marlo Thomas, Christopher Lloyd, Jane Green, Alisan Porter, Keith Richards, José Feliciano, Eartha Kitt, Erica Jong, Dave Brubeck and Kelli O’Hara.
The Academy Award– winning actor has over five decades of films, including The Sound of Music, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Beginners, The Last Station, The Insider, The Man Who Would Be King, and multiple projects in production.
Film, TV, stage, Naughton does it all. He won Tonys for Chicago and City of Angels, directed Our Town and The Price, and steals scenes in The Devil Wears Prada, Hostages and The Blacklist. The Westonite also helps Wildlife in Crisis.
PAUL NEWMAN + JOANNE WOODWARD
There are very few who aren’t aware of the superstars Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. From Cool Hand Luke to The Three Faces of Eve, the couple have won fans of every generation.
Locally, they mesmerized friends and neighbors with their incredible good works. You’ve heard about Newman’s Own, which started as a salad dressing mixed up as a gift for friends and soon became a mega-hit that gives back to charities. But there’s also the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, where children have SeriousFun—because despite being seriously ill, they are given a kid-friendly camp experience. Of course, the Westport Country Playhouse was greatly helped during its renovation under Woodward’s watch. We are super fans forever.
UP & COMING
Benj Pasek & Justin Paul
Justin Paul (who graduated Staples High School in 2003) and his songwriting partner, Benj Pasek, have worked together for years—but 2017 was all theirs: winning an Oscar for Best Song for “City of Stars” and being nominated for “Audition,” from the movie La La Land. Paul used that moment, accepting the award in front of Hollywood’s elite to say: “I was educated in public schools, where arts and culture are valued.” “City of Stars” also won a Golden Globe, and they wrote the music and lyrics for Dear Evan Hansen, now on Broadway.
FIND THE WORDS
Lifelong Westporter and artist Miggs Burroughs is unveiling a new installation at Westport Library (where he is artist- in-residence) on May 26—the last exhibit before renovations.
His “Signs of Compassion” is a series of thirty 16-by-16-inch lenticular images that hang in pairs. He photographed people in the community signing one word each from the Emily Dickinson poem that begins: “If I can stop one heart from breaking.”
This look at compassion, says Burroughs, is “a much needed and timely sentiment.”
He presented his project at the State Capitol (youtube.com/watch?v=tmujtgnxye).
Be sure to walk his “Tunnel Vision” in Westport, too—tunnelvisionart.com.
Hit-Maker and Westporter Nile Rodgers
Nile Rodgers isn’t just comfortable on stage; he was made for it. From his early days with Chic, to his work on megahits with David Bowie, Madonna, Sister Sledge, Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams, this record producer, songwriter, musician, composer, arranger and guitarist made that laudable transition from career to legend. Yet he finds time to show his love for his hometown of Westport. Last year he performed at the gala fundraiser for the Levitt Pavilion for the Performing Arts (levittpavilion.com), a nonprofit that provides free arts programming throughout the summer, and accepted the Booked for the Evening honor from the Westport Library (westportlibrary.org).
FOR THE RECORD
STARING DOWN THE HARD TRUTH OF CONFLICT, COMPLEX CALLS, HIGH STAKES AND MULTIFARIOUS STORIES, THESE LINGUISTIC AND VISUAL RISK TAKERS SEEK PERFECT CLARITY.
THE SPORTING LIFE
The sportswriter and longtime on-air commentator, Frank Deford lived in Westport. One might have spotted his lanky frame dropping off letters at the post office or dropping into a local restaurant, but you can be sure this master of language was simultaneously ruminating on the state of professional basketball or the Olympics and magically drawing parallels to politics, ethics, business and life.
You still hear his famous voice in commentaries on NPR or perhaps you’ve already picked up a copy of his latest book, I’d Know That Voice Anywhere.
Boast alert: The cover image for the book was originally shot by Bruce Plotkin for an article in Westport magazine.
Deford now lives out of town, but we fans in Westport know that this place will always be his true home—and we’d be happy to run into him.
Staples grad Lynsey Addario travels the world, photographing moments of conflict in Afghanistan, Iraq, Darfur, the Congo and Lebanon. Her work appears regularly in the New York Times and National Geographic, among other publications. The Pulitzer Prize winner was one of four journalists, including Tyler Hicks of Westport, held captive in Libya in 2011. Westport magazine caught up with her at the publication of her book, It’s What I Do (2015). The book is being adapted for a movie, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Jennifer Lawrence. Addario is friends with fellow Staples grads and photojournalists Hicks (also a Pulitzer Prize winner) and Spencer Platt (World Press Photo of the Year winner).
The late Burt Chernow wrote some forty art books and built the Westport Town Arts Collection. His wife, Ann, is a legendary artist and dubbed the Queen of Noir for her works inspired by Old Hollywood starlets. “To be an artist in Westport means having the town’s amenities at my beck and call,” says Ann, “those entities that nourish and sustain the aesthetic soul.” First cousin, Ron Chernow, is the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian who wrote Alexander Hamilton, which inspired the Broadway hit.
THE NEWMAN LEGACY
“My parents’ careers and interests took us all around the world, but we always considered Westport home and wanted anyone who came here to feel the same. Whether rebuilding and revitalizing The Westport Country Playhouse, starting the first farmers’ market, supporting local organizations like the Historical Society and Aspetuck Land Trust, or even establishing the Newman’s Own office here, they always wanted to serve the community at large and ensure that Westport’s beauty, charm, history and future were well taken care of.”
—Clea Newman-Soderlund, daughter of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, ambassador for SeriousFun Children’s Network
How to Talk Old-School
TO KNOW OUR HISTORY, BRUSH UP ON THE LOCAL LORE
MINUTE MAN MONUMENT
Memorials are more than landmarks; they are our shared history (like that rough patch with the Brits)
One of Westport’s most well-known memorials is the Minute Man Monument, located at the intersection of Compo Road South and Compo Beach Road. Today, drivers know it as the landmark that leads to the beach, and runners know it from the annual Minute Man Race (celebrating forty years next April), which is hosted by the Westport Young Woman’s League, but the statue has history worth learning.
Now 107 years old, the monument commemorates the patriot resistance to British troops who invaded Connecticut and local commissioned men, self-trained colonists, of the American Revolutionary War. On April 25, 1777, twenty-six British warships brought 2,000 troops (some reports note more specifically 1,600 British soldiers and 200 Loyalists volunteers from Long Island) to Compo Beach (then Fairfield’s West Parish) and began a march to Danbury to raid, then burn, a Continental Army munitions depot. On their return they met soldiers and local minuteman militia, led, in part, by Brig. Gen. Benedict Arnold. British Gen. William Tryon led his men back to the beach, only to meet patriot marksmen at Minute Man Hill.
Most of the fighting took place at Compo Hill, and the fallen militia may have been buried at the Compo Colonial Cemetery. In the piece “Westport Minute Man Sculpture Commemorates Patriots’ Heroism,” written for the Westport Historical Society, Mollie Donovan and Dorothy Curran note: “Graves of some of the fallen minutemen from that day are marked along Compo Beach Road, across from the Minute Man Statue.”
A report by the Westport Historical Society (WHS) adds that “in 1835, Westport, including Compo Hill, became a separate town. After the town secured title to Compo Beach in 1902, the town fathers, William H. Burr among them, decided that a memorial should be erected where the battle took place. For Burr and others of his generation, the ‘minuteman’ was the ideal symbol of the ever vigilant patriot. Not regular soldiers, but charged to be ready at ‘a minute’s notice’, these militia members were local farmers and business owners.”
In 1909, artist H. Daniel Webster received the commission for the monument, which in April 1910 was cast in bronze by Tiffany & Co. and unveiled June 17, 1910 (the date chosen by the Sons of the American Revolution was the anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill).
The State of Connecticut, the Connecticut Sons of the Revolution and private residents funded the project.
Until May 29, the WHS is hosting The British Are Coming!—an exhibit, lectures and events based on the raid, now 240 years ago. Most of the WHS events took place in April—American Revolution Month—but on May 7, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., there are bus tours of the Danbury Raid, starting at Compo Beach. Reserve a spot by contacting the Westport Historical Society, 25 Avery Pl.; westporthistory.org.
WHO IS HE?
“To ensure the authenticity of the Minute Man’s features, [sculptor H. Daniel] Webster invited descendants of old Westport families to pose for him, and the Minute Man’s face is a composite. Models included Judge Joseph Adams and Lewis P. Wakeman (an early Westport First Selectman). The tunic and powder [horn] belonged to the Horace Staples Wakeman family, and legend has it that Webster never returned them to their owner, a fact recalled by Horace Wakeman on his death bed.”
—From “Westport’s Minute Man Sculpture Commemorates Patriot’s Heroism,” by Mollie Donovan and Dorothy Curran
ONE FOR THE AGES
Remembering Westport Town Historian Allen Raymond
Newcomers, when the name Allen Raymond comes up in passing or you see his name at the YMCA (he was a past president and trustee), simply nod your head and smile sympathetically. In May 2014, the town lost a loyal, kind-hearted, life-long Westporter. The late Allen Raymond was, for over a decade, the town’s beloved historian. Civic-minded and philanthropic, he was known as “Mr. Westport” for his dedication to the town. The former magazine publisher helped Earthplace, RTM, Board of Education, Compo Cove Association and Friends of Sherwood Island. He also lead history tours for the Westport Historical Society.
In a video produced just four months before the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new YMCA—where you’ll find “Allen Raymond Lane”—he told viewers: “I’m rejoicing and cheering with all of you today. And when you see that splash in the pool, when no one’s around, you’ll know I’m finally revelling in Westport’s jewel.”
He passed away at ninety-one years old. (Thanks to photographer Dave Matlow for providing the image!)
NAMES TO KNOW NOW
NEWCOMERS WILL QUICKLY BECOME FAMILIAR WITH CERTAIN NAMES. HERE’S THE BRIEFEST OF BACKSTORY ON THOSE WESTPORT FAMILY NAMES.
Edward T. Bedford (1849–1931), director of Standard Oil, was a philanthropist. “By far the richest man in Westport at the turn of the century, Bedford gave the town its YMCA in 1923 (allegedly because he wasn’t allowed into the old Westport Hotel as a child), its fire station, the land for the state police barracks and underwrote the funding of Bedford Elementary School (now Town Hall) and Greens Farms School,” notes Marshall S. Berdan in Westport magazine. On his estate on Beachside Avenue, he would race his horses. Ruth Bedford, who died in 2014, at age 99, was his last surviving grandchild.
You know Jesup Green and Jesup Road, but the name to know is Ebenezer Jesup (1767–1851). He shipped locally grown wheat on his schooners. He also advocated for an east-west turnpike that would facilitate farmers’ transportation of produce to his wharf. That turnpike bloomed into the Boston Post Road. His grandson, Morris Ketchum Jesup (1830–1908), was a banker and philanthropist, was president of the American Museum of Natural History, a founder of the YMCA, and a benefactor of the Westport Library, donating land and money for the building.
Coleytown owes its name to the Coley family, who “farmed their land for 200 years,” Mary Gai, a Realtor posted on 06880danwoog.com. Their c. 1760 gristmill (a cotton mill by 1840) and barn were the center of “Coley Ville,” which “included a small green, schoolhouse, shoemaker, blacksmith, yarn manufacturer, horse stables, five Coley homesteads, and probably a couple of other shops.”
National Hall, built in 1870s, originally housed the First National Bank of Westport, two stores and a meeting hall called National Hall, according to historicbuildingsct.com. “Horace Staples [1801–1897], a prominent Westport businessman and president of the bank was the driving forces behind its construction.” Over the years, the red-brick and cast-iron building has been home to a newspaper, a furniture company, a plumbing store, the Inn at National Hall, and, most recently, Vespa before it was replaced with The Port restaurant this year. You might have moved to Westport for Staples High School. Thank Horace Staples. In 1884 he underwrote the construction of the town’s first public school, and in 1889 founded and funded the Westport Historical Society.

How to Raıse a Star
WHY DID YOU MOVE HERE? THE KIDS. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS—SCHOOLS, ENRICHMENTS AND AWESOME THREADS
Support/self-actualize your super-talented kid for stage or screen
So, you think your kid’s a star (a model, actor, singer, dancer…)? You might be right. But how to shine the spotlight on your little bundle of talent? We turned to Jill Johnson, a long-time contributor to our pages. A former model and editor, she now scouts models and shares her experiences and advice as a stage mom at modelingmentor.com/blog. Her insights below.
Living in Westport, we are fortunate to be only an hour away from Broadway. After getting some training locally—I’m a huge fan of Center Stage with Jill Jaysen, Triple Threat Academy and voice with Cynthia Gibb, Westport Dance Center and Ballet Etudes—start doing workshops and agent showcases in NYC. A Class Act NY is popular, and also offers workshops and camps in Stamford. In addition to finding an agent, get dialed in with the city’s top-notch coaches. My kids and I love Thommie Retter for tap, Kurt Froman for ballet, Badiene Magaziner for voice, and Trapper Felides for acting/singing. I have a “Child Actors” section on my blog, where you can turn for more guidance.
When it comes to modeling, consider if your child has key traits beyond being photogenic. Is she/he outgoing, independent and very patient? A shy, clingy or fidgety kid won’t get booked. As with child actors, smaller kids have the advantage and work slows down past a child size 10/12.
If your kid has what it takes, submit snapshots—professional photos not necessary—to agencies in New York via their websites or to DWKing Talent Management in Westport. Dawn Woods King develops and manages child and young adult models and actors.
Read as much as you can in the “Child Models” category on my blog at modelingmentor.com/blog/category/child-models; enter your cutie in my model search.
Is there a model you especially love right now?
I discovered Em Marie last summer in Maine, where she was performing in a benefit with my son, Jamie. She has amazing features, the graceful and lithe body of a dancer—she happens to be a talented ballerina—and also is the perfect combination of tenacious, ambitious and super nice! I introduced her to New York Model Management and they signed her right away. She won Model of the Year in my model search last year. Local kid Cooper Gusick is adorable. He is the youngest of three Gusick theater kids. He has already been on the Staples stage as Winthrop in Music Man and is sure to shine on that stage again.
Coming Up: The Staples Players present Peter and the Starcatcher, May 25-28 (tickets at staplesplayers.com).
WHEN YOUR LITTLE STAR DARES TO GROW UP
Andrew Wilk on Teen Star Power
Kids hit a dead zone around age thirteen and above 5’ 2” for Broadway, as well as for child roles with New York City Ballet, which are filled by students at the School of American Ballet. “Our neighbors introduced my wife, who also worked in television as a casting director, and me to STAPLES PLAYERS,” says Westporter Andrew Wilk, executive producer of Live at Lincoln Center. “I was completely blown away by what I saw. The Players were leaps and bounds ahead of any high school theater program I ever witnessed. The acting, singing, dancing, technical production was mind blowing. I remember seeing Rent, How to Succeed, and many other productions with a lump in my throat. I am so very proud of our community for valuing the arts in our children’s lives.”
How to DRESS TODAY’S KIDS & TEENS
OUTFITS FOR BABIES TO TEENS RUN FROM SWEET TO EDGY

In Westport, you’ll want to check out big places like Lester’s, which has lots of options, including designers that will impress the younger-set’s in-the-know crowd. Over at Groove, you’ll enjoy searching for new outfits with personality, while your child digs through the super-fun accessories. Newcomer Pink Lemon Blue Lime has baby clothes with just the right mix of sugar and spice—nice and contemporary.
Teens will also gravitate to the newly opened Free People and South Moon Under for the Boho chic look that works in a coastal town.
Then head to Main Street to check out the other stores, like Brandy Melville and Jack Wills.
Up in Wilton, don’t miss Blue Star Bazaar, which has special events for moms and dads, alongside their collection of children’s clothes—because shopping should be fun. | <urn:uuid:25747afc-fcf5-4306-89dc-1990a04226ba> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://westportmag.com/features/newcomers-guide-2/ | 2018-11-20T05:48:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746227.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120035814-20181120061814-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.927579 | 11,060 | [

Morrisons is set to close its loss-making Rugby store - one of ten around the country to face the axe.
No exact figures on job losses have yet been revealed but a spokesman for the supermarket chain confirmed there are around 400 workers at the stores affected.
The Bradford-based company, which is the UK’s fourth largest supermarket behind Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda, has suffered partly due to a price war with its main competitors in the last year.
The company’s Christmas profits, excluding fuel, were down 3.1 per cent on the previous 12 months and chief executive Dalton Philips left his role at the troubled supermarket after five years earlier this month.
Morrisons took over the site, previously occupied by Netto, in 2011.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: “We have looked extremely carefully at whether the store can be turned around but unfortunately we cannot see a way of making it viable.
“We are therefore proposing its closure. We are consulting with colleagues and unions to reduce the risk of redundancies and we are looking at ways of redeploying colleagues around our business.”
Aftab Gaffar, Rugby First managing director responsible for town centre management, said they were now waiting to hear when the retailer would be pulling the plug at its Rugby branch.
“I was very disappointed to hear of the store’s closure and hope that the local staff will be redeployed.
“Morrison’s has made a national decision to close a number of stores which are no longer viable and unfortunately Rugby is one of these. The big four supermarkets are under increasing pressure from changes in consumer behaviour, with more people shopping online, home delivery and the popularity of the discount retailers and these closures are a reflection of this.
“Rugby town centre still offers an excellent choice of food retailers as well as a variety of other shops that cater for everyone’s needs.” | <urn:uuid:24c7d134-43df-4edc-b3e4-8ce0e0064b9c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/news/rugby-s-morrisons-to-close-1-6536382 | 2018-11-20T05:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746227.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120035814-20181120061814-00319.warc.gz | en | 0.97406 | 410 | [

The Preface to the Reader †by Melchior Leydecker
The introduction to the work, and the text Galatians 3:11 opened up.
Naturally we are inclined to cry up self in Justification.
The Doctrine of Justification should be kept pure with all diligence; and what dangerous expressions should be shunned.
Justification is so contrived in the Gospel, as man may be abased, and have no ground of boasting.
In Justification there is a state of Life.
What mysteries are in Justification.
Justification through the imputed righteousness of Christ, cleared out of the Old Testament, and the passages vindicated from the exceptions of John Goodwin.
Some passages out of the New Testament confirming the imputation of Christís righteousness, vindicated from the exceptions of John Goodwin.
Other passages of the New Testament briefly mentioned, which plead for the imputation of Christís Righteousness.
Some arguments for the imputation of Christís righteousness, vindicated from the exceptions of Mr. John Goodwin.
Objections taken out of Scripture by Mr. Goodwin against the imputation of the righteousness of Christ unto Justification, answered.
Some other objections, proposed by John Goodwin, examined.
Mr. Baxterís opinion, concerning imputation, examined.
How Christ is our surety, and what Mr. Baxter saith unto this, examined.
Mr. Baxterís answers to some of our arguments for imputation, examined.
Mr. Baxterís further opposition to the imputation of Christís righteousness examined.
Reasons enforcing the practice of the truth vindicated.
Some of the duties of such, as live the life of Justification, proposed.
Of the life of Justification, as to its continuance.
The state of Justification remaineth, notwithstanding after-sins, and punishments.
Justification is by faith, what this faith is? and how it is wrought?
Our act of faith is not imputed to us as a righteousness.
Some arguments against the imputation of faith vindicated from the exceptions of John Goodwin.
The imputation of faith itself is not proved from Romans 4: 5.
Faith is not our Gospel righteousness.
Christ did not procure, by his death, the New Covenant, or the terms thereof.
How faith is, and may be called a condition of the New Covenant and of Justification, how not?
How faith is, and may be called an instrument?
What interest repentance hath in our justification: and that it is no condition of the same.
Whether love, purpose of new obedience, or perseverance be conditions of justification.
Gospel-obedience is not the condition of justification.
Of the object of justifying faith.
The righteousness of Christ is the special object of faith in justification.
Faith in justification respects not in a special manner Christ as a King, but as a Priest.
Faith is the only condition, on our part, of the continuance of justification.
Of the interest of repentance in the pardon of after-sins.
The Contents of the Appendix
Imputation both of Christís active and passive obedience necessary.
Christ underwent the curse of the Law.
We must not lean to any righteousness within us, whereby to be justified.
The Law, by the works whereof Paul denies that we are justified, is not the Jewish Law.
Works excluded in Justification, are not only works done before faith, nor perfect works required in the Law of Innocence, nor outward works only.
By works, which Paul excludeth, is not meant the merit of works.
James 2: 14 &c. cleared and vindicated
No countenance given to justification by works, from James 2:14 &c.
John Forbes his arguments, against the imputation of Christís active obedience, examined; with a view of Wendelinís reasonings against it.
The Fathers give countenance to the doctrine of imputation; and some Papists approve it. | <urn:uuid:ac7a6b05-9f6f-4c56-8042-a6d0788d1ad6> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://reformedlayman.com/LifeofJustification_by_Brown/Contents.htm | 2018-11-21T13:03:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039748315.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121112832-20181121134832-00479.warc.gz | en | 0.887729 | 833 | [

Back in the day, word of mouth marketing meant that a product would gain popularity solely on its own merit. Consumers would purchase it, and based on their experience, share and encourage their neighbors and friends to buy the product as well. Brands would conduct focus groups with psychologists to assist them in making sure their packaging was appealing, and their product was as good as they claimed. After all of that was done, they’d hire a PR company and an ad agency to help get the word out to their targeted demographic. That type of paid media was the only expected source of promotion. Getting attention through positive consumer recommendations, or word of mouth marketing, was like icing on the cake, but it certainly wasn’t expected.
We’re living in the digital age now, though. Instagram photos show millennials at their favorite coffee shops, and new moms pledge allegiance to a specific diaper company on their Facebook pages. Brands are starting to anticipate earned media, and await word that their latest commercial or marketing campaign has gone viral thanks to their loyal customers dutifully sharing, for free, about their favorite product on all of their social networks.
That “cross your fingers and hope for the best” approach might work for a small (very small) percentage of companies, but it isn’t the most savvy way to create a successful marketing plan. There is a way, however, to extend the reach of your advertising efforts and increase the potential for your campaign to go viral. Hire bloggers.
Here’s what you can expect when you work with Bloggers:
When you hire Influencers to create content for you as part of a marketing campaign, you can absolutely request that their material is positive. Bloggers know that a sponsored post is very different than a review. An unpaid review is their honest account of their experience with a product. The goal of a sponsored post is to highlight how great a product is, and to show how it fits into their lives. You don’t have to worry about the Blogger’s audience questioning their true feelings towards a product that they’re getting paid to write about, though. Most Bloggers will only accept an assignment if it truly fits their lifestyle and beliefs.
When a brand purchases an ad in a magazine, it sits on a page. A consumer can discover it when they are browsing through and reading it. Once they flip through, finish the magazine, and recycle it, that’s it for the ad. When a blogger creates a piece of content around a product, whether a recipe, a craft, or a tip for living better, that content lives forever on the internet. When someone types “chocolate caramel cake recipe” into a search engine, and a post pops up that is created by a blogger who used your chocolate caramel candy, that’s the type of long lasting effect you can expect for every blogger that you hire!
Here’s what you should not expect when you work with bloggers:
There are a lot of factors that go into helping an item sell. The price, the placement of the product in stores, the availability of the product, customer service, the time of year, etc. bloggers create content that help bring awareness to a product, but it isn’t their job to sell. You may not see a lift in sales immediately after a blogger posts, and you shouldn’t expect it. What you can expect, however, is that the blogger is helping to plant the seed of interest in their audience. Watering that seed and helping it to grow into a sale is up to you.

- There was an outpouring of support from across the industry after chef Andrew Fairlie announced he will be stepping back from the kitchen at Gleneagles due to suffering from a terminal brain tumour. Fairlie, 54, will hand over the reins at his two-starred restaurant to head chef Stevie McLaughlin, general manager Dale Dewsbury and his business partner Gregor Mathieson on 1 February.
- Living Ventures has launched a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) process for its five-strong Blackhouse steakhouse concept, closing its London site and one in Manchester. Last month the group put its Artisan and Manchester House restaurants in to administration after a "period of difficult trading".
- Casual Dining Group has called in a restructuring adviser in a bid to reduce its rent bill amid tough times on the high street. The company, which owns brands including Cafe Rouge, Bella Italia and Las Iguanas, said a "small number" of sites were lossmaking due to "high rents and rates".
- Restaurant closures in London have hit a 28-year high, according to new data from restaurant guide Harden's. The guide reports that 117 independent sites have shut over the last 12 months, though 167 launched over the same time frame - a net increase of 50.
- Scott Macdonald is believed to have left his role as managing director of Polpo after less than a year and a half in the role.

There’s two types of hate crimes. The ones with leftist “victims” …and actual hate crimes. An example of which being the kidnap and torture of a handicapped man simply because he’s white. Pummeling your own face meat out of self-loathing? Sure, it’s some kind of thing, but not a hate crime (Gay YouTube Star Beats Himself Up. Calls it a ‘Hate Crime’…). Seek mental help. Turns out hating yourself doesn’t make a hate crime. Twas a lesson not yet learned by the hoofed mammal pictured above when she sauntered down to the police station to deem herself a victim of hate…
A 21-year-old Ann Arbor woman pleaded guilty as charged to one count of false report of a misdemeanor in 15th District Court… Halley Bass admitted in court that she fabricated a story about a strange man scratching her face in downtown Ann Arbor.
“I was suffering from depression at the time,” Bass told Judge Elizabeth Pollard Hines. “I made a superficial scratch on my face. It was visible and I was embarrassed about what I’d done. So I made up a story and told a friend that a stranger had done it while I was walking. I was encouraged to go to the police. I made the mistake of doing that.”
Protip for hate crime hoaxers: wasting police resources with one’s lies and whineage are not the makings of a good idea. Sort of like how clawing your own face out of frustration isn’t a good idea.
But it gets even worse. Here’s her explanation…
At the time, Bass claimed her attack was part of the surge in hate crimes following the election of Donald Trump a week earlier. She told police she was targeted for wearing a solidarity pin connected to [immigrants affected by] Britain’s “Brexit” vote.
Bass admitted to scratching her own face with the pin after becoming upset during a Women’s Literature class at the University of Michigan. Bass heard of other incidents on campus, including the incident of a woman wearing a hijab who said a man threatened to light her on fire if she didn’t take it off. Ann Arbor police later determined that incident was a hoax too, though.
Hate crimes and hoaxes go together like unsightly “ladies” and feminism. Speaking of which, on account of her being jailed up, it appears Halley won’t be able to participate in #ADayWithoutAWoman. In light of this, I propose leftists participate in #ADayWithoutAHoax instead. Out of solidarity with this gal and loads of other liberals, of course.
Let’s be real for a second though. You’ve likely noticed heaps of leftist tears since the election, accusations of hate crimes, protests, mental breakdowns. Stuff that’s been a normal part of leftism for a while now, granted, but it’s reached a fever pitch in recent months. Liberal “victims” have been plastered all over the media, despite their stories turning out to be fake (see Man Claims Mom Died in Iraq Because of Trump Ban. He Lied.)… Meanwhile, actual victims of politically charged violence seem to all have one thing in common: being a not-leftist.
And the ones curb stomping faces and lighting things on fire? Yep, you guessed it. Like this chick, they’re snot gobbling social justice ninnies.
So much tolerance… | <urn:uuid:446179ad-2ef3-4cca-8615-8537e565cdb3> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/hate-crime-trump-fake/ | 2018-11-14T01:13:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741569.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114000002-20181114022002-00519.warc.gz | en | 0.957958 | 758 | [

All of us must have encountered this problem many times in our lives (atleast once!); you know what I am talking about? Dropping our mobile phones, smart phones, tablets, camcorders, digital cameras, pen drives! In this era of gadgets we depend on a lot of portable devices to make our life more entertaining – we use smart phones to keep us online and connected 24 by 7, we use camcorders to capture beautiful moments of our life, tablet pcs to make mobile computing possible – well we use a lot of them. And all these devices costs us a fortune! Just think about it – all the portable devices we use might be worth thousands of dollars. What if we drop them accidentally at any point of time? We will loose the money!
Here is a super cool solution proposed by Jeff Bezos (CEO, Amazon.com) – an air bag that protects portable devices from accident and shock. Well, this is not just a fancy thought from the founder of one of the world’s most popular Internet companies. Jeff Bezos is really serious about this one that he filed a patent application for his innovative idea. You can view details of his patent application here:- Details of patent application filed by Jeff Bezos and Greg Hart
Take a look at the pictorial representation of air bag protection system proposed by Amazon CEO and his Vice President Greg Hart.
This technology uses a gyroscope, camera, IR sensors and other sensors to detect various motions, orientation etc to understand if the motion is really an accidental drop or not! Proposed technology also calculates distance from other objects to determine in a split of second if its an “accident” or the device is at risk.
Patent Explained through figure:
Take a look at figure 2B:- Idea behind is to embed one or many small air bags inside the phone. When the phone drops or when an accident occurs, sensors will push the air bags out.An embedded cartridge of inflated air or carbon dioxide will be used to serve this purpose. Technology to determine which side of the phone will get hit is also proposed with the patent. If not, air bag will be pushed to cover the phone as a whole. The patent also proposes the idea of reorienting the phone in air (by expelling gas) so that the side where air bag inflates will get hit on the floor.
Bezos and his partner proposes another idea in figure 4 where springs will be deployed instead of air bags. In figure 3, Bezos and his colleague imagines a “propulsion system” by expelling gases to make possible a “safe/gentle” landing of the portable device.
Well to your surprise Bezos filed this patent way back in February 2010, but Geekwire just publicized it by introspecting US patent files. Patents may or may not get into reality! Its all about ideas and innovation. But if its likely to get implemented, we will see this in upcoming Amazon Kindle versions or the much rumored Amazon android tablets. | <urn:uuid:653e2345-3b51-41b8-9774-10e69225045f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.circuitstoday.com/amazon-ceo-files-patent-application-for-an-airbag-system-that-protects-smart-phones | 2018-11-16T13:51:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743046.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116132301-20181116154301-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.934886 | 617 | [

Lights Out highest converting asset in the demand journey for Cisco security
Evolution of the Network
Cisco is a large company that is traditionally known just for Networking. How can they get their voice heard in the crowded and fast-moving security space?
By talking about the dangers that lurk on the network and Cisco’s solutions to thwart them. Some of the stories are scary and dramatic, others are just plain funny.
Lights Out ranked number nine YouTube Commercial in the UK
Anatomy of an Attack had over 14 Million views on YouTube
Disrupt the Perception of Cisco
We designed a narrative that stated simply, Cisco built the network, who better to secure it.
From that, we created the bold, fast-paced, and conversational voice which has gone onto embody the Lights Out Video.
Lights Out takes the point-of-view of a Chief Security officer wrestling with a question from the CEO. Are we secure?
What follows has been a video series that repositioned Cisco as not just the leader in networking, but the brand that builds the most effective security network architectures in the world.
Anatomy of an Attack
This dramatic video series breaks down how cyberattacks truly happen, debunking preconceptions about who’s behind them and demonstrating their devastating repercussions. The cinematic narratives are told in a gritty yet serious storytelling style laden with technical terminology our core audience recognizes and associates with real-world threats. This approach has been key in driving them to re-evaluate their security solution options.
Cisco Partnered with First Person to Tell Their Security story
Dave the IT Guy
How do you educate a non-IT audience about cybersecurity without scaring them?
By making them funny.
In this humorous series, our cast of characters is thrust into any number of network security-related situations found in a typical enterprise business. Dave, the company’s security expert, breaks down these issues into simple concepts to help his hapless co-workers better understand security. The result is laugh-out-loud.
Help the CMO Tell Her story
We created an anthem video to set-up Karen Walker, Cisco CMO’s speech at the Cisco Partner Summit in San Francisco. The theme for this video was born from the idea that human experts that make the real magic happen behind the industry-leading technology and advanced suite of services that Cisco offers. That human connection can get lost in the narrative, so this video was designed, both in its message and visual style, to celebrate the personal aspects of Cisco’s ability to help guide and support their customers throughout the lifecycle of their business.
This entire production, from initial pitch to final delivery was on a super tight schedule. Scouting, casting, production design and nine script revisions were crammed into five days of pre-production. Then we hit the ground running for a two-day shoot. Leaving us just enough time to pull it all together.
It was a whirlwind effort and a huge success.
Just wanted to pass along a big thank you for all the help with the visuals. They were stunning!
Cisco Brand Reboot
Back in 2012, Cisco completely rebooted their brand identity. We were fortunate enough to be part of the development of the first-ever Motion Brand guidelines and template.
The brand experience needed to feel more flexible, approachable and in tune with Cisco's aspiration for “changing the way we work, live, play, and learn.”
We went to work creating video templates for logo animations, titling, lower thirds, opening and closing sequences. The templates allow creators the flexibility to design a cohesive experience across brand assets. We also created custom Adobe After Effects templates that are controlled via a custom interface allowing for on the fly control of color, type, and motion. | <urn:uuid:5c592745-9de4-4daa-b774-1d3e05c5bc4c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.firstperson.is/work/evolution-of-the-network | 2018-11-16T14:50:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743046.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116132301-20181116154301-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.954183 | 783 | [

Now Showing intends to materialise relationships between contemporary artist moving image practice and the feminist and organising legacies present in the Cinenova collection.
The format of the series is that an artist filmmaker is invited to select a film from the Cinenova collection which they would like to screen alongside a work of theirs.
For February's screening Claire Hope will show her 2014 work Group Photo, (9mins) alongside Judith Barry's Kaleidoscope, (50mins) 1978.
Claire Hope, Group Photo, Digital video, 9mins, 2014
Commissioned by Gallery II, Bradford in 2014 Group Photo is based on the generic group photograph. Yet in this staged work, how the group behave and are viewed by the camera, also how we as viewers feel about them becomes increasingly unpredictable. The work draws on emotional extremes common to contemporary media’s reality shows, competitions, not least cinema and web-based media – which may invite a powerful empathy towards those we watch – as often as a ‘judging’ coldness. Where such extremes seem to amplify wider attitudes in social life, like valorising love or achievement, in this moving image work affection and assessment become the poles around which the formal and promotional group photograph is depicted. But the contrast between these imagined portraits, and the way the camera treats the group, seems to invite different sorts of action and interaction.
Judith Barry, Kaleidoscope, 50mins, 1978
Originally performed over a two-week period at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, these five-minute scenes juggle with domestic situations and probe the dynamics of a couple's daily interactions – but in this instance the male character is cleverly played by a woman. Popular conventions from TV, cinema and theatre are used to drawn attention to issues raised by middle-class feminism. The format parodies typical soap opera programmes and in so doing highlights how, in its attempt to reflect ordinary life, soap opera grossly distorts reality through over-dramatisation and compacting events. Barry hints and puts across the feeling that women then tended to seek solutions to their problems within the confines of personal relationships, instead of pursuing them in the outside world where they really intended changes to take place.
Cinenova Feminist Film and Video Distributor was founded in 1991 following the merger of two feminist film and video distributors, Circles and Cinema of Women. Each was formed in the early 1980s in response to the lack of recognition of women in the history of the moving image. Both organisations, although initially self-organised and unfunded, aimed to provide the means to support the production and distribution of women’s work in this area, and played critical roles in the creation of an independent and radical media.

A BASIC OVERVIEW OF THE VISA IS PROVIDED HERE. IF YOU HAVE FURTHER INQUIRIES AS TO THE APPLICATION PROCESS OR WHETHER OR NOT THIS IS THE CORRECT ROUTE FOR YOUR NEEDS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT US.
The H-1B visa allows organizations with a Federal Identification Number/IRS tax number to employ foreign professionals for work in positions considered specialty occupations for an initially allowed stay of three years (up to six years through extensions).
This is subject to an annual numerical limit "cap" of 65 thousand visas each fiscal year, exempting H-1B workers petitioned for or employed at institutions of higher education or their related nonprofit entities/research organizations, as well as government research organizations. The first 20 thousand petitions filed on behalf of beneficiaries with a U.S. master’s degree or higher are also exempt from the cap.
In order for a prospective employer to be eligible for sponsoring an H-1B visa, the petitioner must prove that the position is a specialty occupation through one of the following:
- A bachelor’s or higher degree or its equivalent is normally the minimum entry requirement for the position.
- The degree requirement for the position is common to the industry or the job is so complex or unique that it can only be performed by an individual possessing the degree in question.
- The employer normally requires a degree or its equivalent for the position.
- The duties of the position are so specialized and complex that the knowledge required for their performance is usually associated with the attainment of certain bachelor’s or higher degrees.
Labor Condition Applications (LCA)
Prospective specialty occupation employers must obtain a certification of an LCA from the Department of Labor (DOL). The LCA includes certain attestations described below whose violation can result in fines, bars on sponsoring nonimmigrant or immigrant petitions, and other various sanctions. In the LCA an employer attests that it will comply with the following labor requirements:
- The employer will pay the beneficiary no less than the wage paid to similarly qualified workers or, if more substantial, the prevailing wage of the position according to the applicable geographic area.
- The working conditions provided to the beneficiary will not adversely affect other similarly employed workers. This includes that at the time of the LCA there is no strike or lockout at the employer's place of business and that a notice of the LCA's filinghas been given to the union bargaining representative or has been posted at the place of business.
For the prospective employee to be viewed as qualified for the specialty occupation offered and therefore eligible for the H-1B visa, one of the following must be demonstrated:
- The applicant must have completed a U.S. bachelor’s or higher as required by the specific specialty occupation.
- The applicant possesses a foreign degree that is equivalent to the U.S. bachelor’s or higher required by the specialty occupation
- Holding of an unrestricted state license, registration or certification authorizing the individual to fully practice the specialty occupation.
- Possession of the education, training or experience necessary for the specialty occupation that is equivalent to the completion of such a degree, in addition to recognition of expertise in the field through progressively responsible positions directly related to the specialty.
Positions Generally Considered to be Specialty Occupations
The following have been shown by USCIS to normally be considered specialty occupations:
- Accountants, acupuncturists, chiropractors, computer programmers (recently rescinded by memo), dietitians, electronics specialists, fashion designers, general managers (where business is complex), graphic designers, hotel management, industrial designers (with a B.A.), interior designers (commercial), journalists, librarians, medical records librarians, medical technologists, ministers, orthopedists, pharmacists, social workers, technical publication writers and vocational counselors.
If your position is not listed above, please contact us to see if your occupation may still qualify to USCIS as a specialty position, as this list is by no means exhaustive.
Wage Level Complications
A growing trend has been witnessed in which USCIS has been issuing requests for evidence (RFEs) in response to H-1B petitions listing positions with Level 1 or 2 wages. To inform yourself regarding this policy shift and its implications, please consider our following articles:
Third-Party Worker Considerations
New guidance has been released raising the degree of scrutiny designated to H-1B petitions involving third-party workers. These changes are discussed in the following article: | <urn:uuid:047b412f-9533-4c72-b388-f469a16ace1f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.calivisa.com/h1b-specialty-occupation-visa | 2018-11-17T20:26:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743732.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117185331-20181117211331-00439.warc.gz | en | 0.930315 | 943 | [

Royann seems shy and quiet because of his lack of speech, but in reality he's quite cheery and easily excited. He cares a lot about his adoptive family and loves to play games or go out for walks with them. He has an innocent nature and he's very naive, so his family treats him with care and makes sure not to swear or talk about lewd subjects when he's around.
Hair color: Light coral/salmon (or anything varying between red and pink hues with the same saturation). Butt-length and tied together with a blue bow.
Eye color: Mix between violet and salmon
Shirt: White button up shirt with short sleeves and 2 brown/red stripes on each sleeve. Wears a coat sometimes but he's too lazy to wear it properly. The coat is a little past knee length and dark blue with decorations.
Gloves: White. Wears the gloves to hide his left arm, which is a wooden prosthetic. He only wears gloves in public.
Pants: Dark red/brown shorts with 2 white stripes which reach until a little above his knees. Suspenders of which at least one is loose at all times.
Legs: White knee-height stockings with 2 brown stripes, brown shoes with straps and small decorations.
Extra: Bandages to cover his right eye, which is pale blue. His headset is built in in 2 hairclips in the shape of his character item.
Nationality: British probably.
He used to belong to a wealthy family, but lost his parents and memories in a train crash. Next to that he also lost his left arm, right eye and ability to speak due to acute expressive aphasia . Despite of his brain damage, he sings just fine, which is a common trait amongst aphasia patients. After one year of refusing to speak due to trauma, he slowly started picking up speaking again. At the moment he can't form full sentences, but as the wikipedia page concerning expressive aphasia mentioned, he is perfectly fine at understanding language. He knows exactly what to say to express himself in his mind, however, speaking just doesn't work out.
After the train crash followed a two month coma.
- "Nikki-nee so cool!!"
Royann is the default voice of this voicebank. He doesn't have a pitch-changed genderbend.
The voice type is childlike, gentle and innocent.
No CV voicebank.
VCV voicebank is only encoded in Hiragana.
Contains all common syllables. Might still miss some syllables, please tell me when you discover one.
Make sure to look up the sound in the oto file first, I might have just named it wrong.
5-mora. Contains end breaths.
No recommended flags or resamplers. Please ask before you add a g flag (g-10 is preferred if you want to make a genderbend anyway).
- Royann loves bugs. A lot. His favorites are dragonflies and fireflies.
- He's afraid of dogs and a little bit afraid of cats.
- Thinks Nikki is really cool and spends the most of his time with her.
- Slight hayfever.
- His official getup is the one in the reference drawing, which used to be the formal clothes his parents made him wear. In casual everyday situations he'd wear regular shorts and blouses, all fitting in the mori fashion category (his foster family bought the clothes).
- His right eye is pale blue because it had to be replaced after the train crash. The donor is unknown.
- Eyepatch buddies with Valen.
- He plays violin, but he doesn't know he does. It's complicated.
- The reason he still wears bandages after his eye healed is because he turned out to be photophobic in one eye, causing him to develop bad headaches when his eye is exposed to light for too long.
- His mother was an entomologist and his father astronomer.
- You are free to cover any song you wish, no matter what the subject or message is.
- Except songs that support racism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other discrimination/offensive matter.
- If you ignore the rule above I will be so upset at you
- Horror/gore/ero songs are pretty much allowed, but I'm not sure if I will be very happy when those kinda things get covered 3:. I'm normally not really picky with what kinda songs get covered (except the ones stated above), but Royann has a special place in my kokoro and I see him as a son of mine, hence the fact I'm not 100% comfortable with others covering horror/gore/ero with him. You will probably see me cover those kinda things anyway, but I know which songs I can tolerate and which not. Again, you are absolutely allowed to cover all you want (except the ones stated above) and I can't stop you! Please be considerate of my feelings though.
- It is not allowed to make money in any way by using this voicebank.
- Please do not edit this voicebank and claim it as your own (so no pitchbending or other edits).
- Don't copy/steal the character designs.
- Credit me when you upload a cover!
- Please tag any covers you upload with "Royann Taylour", "Mochamisu" or "Seiunara", which is my old username. I would love to see what you create!

The Bomarc surface-to-air missile was a Cold War response to the apocalyptic vision of squadrons of Soviet bombers headed toward targets in North America. A nuclear-tipped interceptor streaking toward the enemy seems the stuff of science fiction today, but in the 1950s it was an all too real strategy.
Revell has re-released its classic IM-99 Bomarc, complete with the original box art. “Revell 1958” is still neatly molded into the bottom of one of the horizontal stabilizers. With no new tooling, the parts are exactly the same as they were when the kit first hit the shelves. Ah, nostalgia.
Gather up four or five grades of sandpaper and get to work. Assembly of the missile is relatively simple, since only a dozen pieces make up the actual weapon. There is some minor flash and a few ejector pin marks, typical of older kits. Rather heavy rivets and deep panel lines will need to be sanded down. Fit is ok but seams will still need some putty, more sanding and then…some more sanding. After the fuselage, wings and tail come together, it’s time for…a little more sanding. A coat of primer or a product like Mr. Surfacer will help reveal spots that need additional filling and sanding. The two ramjet engines attached to the bottom of the fuselage should be joined, sanded and primed as well. Once those heavy panel lines are gone, re-scribing some of them using those all-important research photos is a great idea.
While the missile is drying, start on the launch platform. Dry-fit and clean up the various pieces first. Once the base is complete, you might find the frame is slightly warped—it happens frequently with kits from older molds. Dipping the frame in a bath of boiling water will heat the plastic enough to aid in bending the piece, just a bit. This will help ensure all four legs are level. The gantry is next. While construction is very simple, take time to dry-fit and sand parts so they will be easier to work with.
Prime the launch pad with a coat of white, then a nice industrial yellow. A light wash of black will make some of the detail pop. To replicate the dials and gauges on the launcher, a cockpit instrument panel decal from the parts box can be cut down. Small excess ejector pin pieces form the back of the gauges. Florist’s wire works well for some of the hydraulic lines that run the length of the launch rail.
With the launch platform nearly complete, painting the missile itself is next. There are two schemes to choose from. One is an overall gray that was typical of operational missiles. A second scheme is more visually interesting, an overall black with white wingtips and geometric striping. Spray the white first, and following your reference photos, mask off the areas that will remain white. There are decals for the white striping, but masking the white before painting the rest of the missile gives a cleaner look. The nose should be a medium tan color. After an overall gloss coat, it’s time for markings. The decals are a bit thick; a decal setting solution will make them settle into the panel lines just fine.
Set aside the missile and turn your attention back to the launcher. The launch rail/gantry assembly snaps into the base, and it can be articulated so that you can display the missile either horizontally or vertically. A few decals, data plates and warning signs complete the base.
Back to the missile and some final bits and pieces. Attach the two ramjets to the underside of the main fuselage. Another layer of gloss coat and the missile is ready to be attached to the launch pad. A maintenance stand is also included as well as two figures. Finally this classic IM-99 Bomarc missile is ready to display. Building this kit brings back a lot of memories, but with the intervening years comes experience. Hopefully your completed missile looks a little sharper than it did the first time.

Christians who specialise in evangelism are often generally known as evangelists, whether or not they are of their house communities or residing as missionaries in the sector, Whilst some Christian traditions make reference to these kinds of persons as missionaries in either situation.
Throughout a lot of its record, Christianity has actually been spread evangelistically, while the extent of evangelism has various drastically among Christian communities, and denominations. Evangelism, apologetics and apostolic ministry often go hand in hand. An ἀπόστολος (apostolos) is literally "a person who's purchased forth" and refers to the missionary calling of being requested forth into the earth through the initiation of God. An illustration of an interaction among Evangelism and Apologetics can be observed in the USA when upon doorway to doorway Evangelism the prospect is an unbeliever and problems the Evangelist wherein the Evangelist then follows in the role of the Apologist in defense in their religion Along with the hope that Evangelism can be restarted.
Some denominations Use a formally recognised office of evangelist as aspect of their ministry, like the commissioned evangelists of the Church of England and Various other Anglican church buildings.
Right here’s a brief take a look at how it works. Enable’s say God is main you to definitely share the gospel with the neighbor, Jeff. Produce out Romans 6:23 on the bit of paper or simply a napkin: “
Catholic missionary get the job done in Russia is commonly witnessed visit homepage as evangelism, not proselytism. Archbishop Kondrusiewicz brazenly stated, "that proselytism is totally unacceptable and cannot represent a strategy for the development of our constructions possibly in Russia or in every other place on the planet".
” That’s superb news—Regardless of how badly we’ve messed up, we will put our total rely on in Jesus, and He'll wipe all of our sins from the face in the earth. Jesus would be the bridge to everyday living.
Some Christian traditions contemplate evangelists to become in a leadership situation; They might be discovered preaching to large conferences or in governance roles.
What then need to be our reaction to this wonderful information? This delivers us to the final and most critical aspect. John five:24 says, “I let you know the truth, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal daily life and won't be condemned; he has crossed about from Dying to life.
But why isn’t daily life like that anymore? What occurred to mess every thing up? This delivers us to the 2nd level: after we (humankind) chose to perform the alternative of what God informed us, sin poisoned his explanation the earth.
..", and additional, "The incorporation of new users into your Church is not the enlargement of a power team, but somewhat entrance in the network of friendship with Christ which connects heaven and earth, different continents and age. It is actually entrance in the gift of communion with like this Christ...."
The time period ‘proselytize’ could possibly be employed when 1 team will not approve of the missional functions of Yet another, particularly when one particular team is losing customers to a different team.
Unique denominations adhere to diverse theological interpretations which replicate on the point of that's accomplishing the actual conversion, if the evangelist or maybe the Holy Spirit or each. Calvinists, such as, think the soul is transformed only if the Holy Spirit is effective while in the act.[five]

One word. IKEA.
Why people, why? IKEA is not a multi-generational trip out. Seriously, ever wondered why you never see it listed alongside Port Aventura, the Aquarium and the city tour bus in the guides? Grandmas/pas, mas/pas and little ones, like a slow-moving caravan, travelling along the path to fulfilment (generic wall art). Or worse, six abreast in that very same path, blocking the way for confused shoppers, who fear stepping off it could lead to something catastrophic. Like a giant rolling boulder suddenly crashing through the bedroom displays, or those imaginary childhood monsters coming to life and gnawing your legs off, up to the knee.
I decided to capitalise on my recent discovery that Ikea is best visited at lunch time on a Saturday, for my final ‘interiors’ project this year. Seriously, I’m knackered, but this summer break has given me the opportunity to change up, move around, re-organise, add some cute little touches and have a much needed clear out. If I downsize anymore, you’re going to find me happily disconnected sitting up a mountain in a cave somewhere, mindfully not being in a flat pack furniture store.
I have cracked the way to shop there. Listen up.
At home I make a list of what I need. I screen grab the items online, with item number. I pack a small yet practical bag with essentials: purse, pen, tape measure, cable ties (don’t ask), wet wipes, blinkers. I dress appropriately comfortably, jeans, tee, baseball cap and trainers for speedy entrance and exit. Hair scraped back, no make-up, not even mascara, hence cap. It’s a sweaty business in there, and ‘slightly damp panda’ is not a good look. I pick up my little delivery trolley and giant blue Ikea bag and head out.
Someone recently told me there is a secret passage, or codeword or something, that gives you access to the store without having to pass through the above chaos, but I didn’t have the time this time, to enquire if the eagle was indeed, landing tonight. So, secure bag – check, adjust cap – check, blinkers on – check and:
I was in and out of there in thirty minutes, like a Kallax ninja. Stopping only briefly to photograph the mass grave of stuffed toys in the kids’ department. In the words of Donald Trump, ‘very SAD!’ I sprinted, dodged, ducked and dived and may have elbowed someone out of the way. My unit and extras (all on the list, I did not stray), were strapped to the trolley and at the curb waiting for a taxi before you could say, ‘I survived Ikea!’ And I humped the whole lot up to the fifth floor.
This crack operation was a morning in the planning, half an hour to complete and the rest of the afternoon to construct, and as you know well by now; focus and discipline are not my strong suit. Can you imagine me juggling a pram, trolley and tape measure? And what would have happened if my toddler strayed into my peripheral vision, so effectively blinker-blocked to avoid temptation? And there’s no way I could have got past the stuffed tiger that had apparently mauled the rest of the animals to death, without an explanation of the carnage to tearful little ones. Agent PANK to headquarters, we have a situation. Oh wait, I am headquarters. There are just so many corners in that place too, conveniently at little person head height, to run full pelt into. And so many places for them to hide…. I’d spend my time in there trying to avert a code red, rather than being able to leap over a television unit, dodge a granny and sprint through the kitchen department, complements, plants and candles, to claim my flat pack prize.
And that is my ‘reasons why I don’t have kids’ #69. | <urn:uuid:1fd87ec2-c31f-49da-ac98-32310dad3f92> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://thesecretdiaryofannepank.com/2018/08/28/reasons-why-i-dont-have-kids-69/ | 2018-11-21T16:52:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039749054.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121153320-20181121175320-00359.warc.gz | en | 0.950088 | 872 | [

Resident doctors at the Indira Gandhi Medical College and Hospital (IGMC) and the Dr Rajendra Prasad Government Medical College at Tanda have staged a protest over the issue of expected stipend hike. As a mark of protest, they wore black badges.
The resident doctors have expressed their agitation even though Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh is reported to have accepted their demand earlier. The government has accepted to bring their stipend at par with other neighboring states.
Factually, the stipend break-up for junior residents includes and amount of Rs 25,000 in the first year, Rs 27,000 in the second year and Rs 30,000 in the third year in these colleges. While, in Delhi it is as high as Rs 80,000 in Delhi, Rs 65,000 in Meghalaya and Manipur and Rs 65,000 in UP, Bihar, Punjab and Haryana while the minimum standard is Rs 50,000.
According to resident doctors, the state is paying them peanuts as compared with their counterparts in neighbouring states despite the fact that they discharge duties for 36 hours in the IGMC and the DRPGMC. The emergency services depend on resident doctors — both senior and junior residents — in these hospitals, they pointed out, as reported by the Tribune.
The resident doctors are the backbone of emergency and trauma and other medical services in hospitals, but the Health Department remains indifferent to their demand. “We have no option but to wear black badges which will continue till December 10,” said Dr Sandeep Kaushisk, general secretary, RDA.
This demand was included in the demand charter of the HMOA, said Dr JN Chauhan, general secretary, HPMOA, and Dr SL Sharma, its president. | <urn:uuid:a24bc6fe-0243-478e-abd7-fb8cf87cba1a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://medicaldialogues.in/resident-doctors-in-himachal-protest-over-stipend-hike/ | 2018-11-14T05:45:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741628.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114041344-20181114063344-00399.warc.gz | en | 0.966022 | 364 | [

Global Satellite Broadband Communication in Public Safety Market 2016-2020
About Satellite Broadband
Satellite broadband plays an important role in meeting public safety needs. Satellite communication in the public safety domain involves the adoption of next-generation satellite communication technology in mission-critical field applications, equipping people with real-time data, video, voice, or other forms of tactical communication, and rich media services. Satellite communication, can help ambulance crews to send the location of an injured person with updated conditions to doctors at a hospital for an early accommodation arrangement and diagnosis and immediate treatment. Police officers responding to an incident can access video and information about the scene they are about to walk into. Fire personnel can obtain information on a real-time basis about the environment they are working on. They can also view maps, images of the buildings, and other information to enable them to handle crisis situations more efficiently.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global satellite broadband communication in public safety market to grow at a CAGR of 9.03% during the period 2016-2020.
Covered in this report
The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global satellite broadband communication in public safety market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the revenue generated from the C-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band devices, networks, services and satellite communication services.
The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
Technavio Announces the Publication of its Research Report – Global Satellite Broadband Communication in Public Safety Market 2016-2020
Technavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the global satellite broadband communication in public safety market: Gilat Satellite Networks, Harris CapRock Communications, Hughes Network Systems, Inmarsat, Iridium Communications, and VT iDirect.
Other Prominent Vendors in the market are: Cambium Networks, EchoStar, Ligado Networks, Thrane and Thrane, Globalstar, Intelsat General, Singtel, Telstra, Thuraya, and ViaSat.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio’s team said: “The increasing adoption of satellite-based broadband communication by public health organizations is an emerging trend in the market. This is being experienced in most of the developed nations where the number of healthcare service providers is high and advanced services to the customers are the major customer retaining index. In the US and the UK, almost all major governments, as well as public healthcare service providers, use GPS-enabled ambulances to track patient location. In addition, major hospitals in the US and the UK use satellite broadband communication services for remote patient monitoring, telemedicine, and surgical assistance.”
According to the report, rising demand for mobility will be a key driver for market growth. The public safety services require mobility of devices. In addition, they require high-speed bandwidth for voice and data transfer on the move. The fixed satellite services cannot provide mobility. On the other hand, the legacy wireless telecom networks such as 2G and Edge cannot fulfill the requirement for high-speed bandwidth for voice and data transmission. In addition, since public security organizations deal with time-bound situations or situations that require immediate attention, they need real-time communication among the emergency response team members.
Further, the report states that new products and service capabilities are delivered by satellite communication service players into the market at a rapid pace with the convergence of the satellite and terrestrial mobile sectors. This strategy has been followed to accommodate the higher bandwidth requirements and mobility demands of satellite customers. The trend of bring your own device (BYOD) has been observed in satellite communication market as well. New consumer-oriented form factors such as SatSleeve has enabled satellite service users to experience seamless global connectivity with high convenience. Thuraya has identified and addressed the global BYOD trend by introducing Thuraya SatSleeve. Increased adoption of enhanced WLAN infrastructure by enterprises for high-bandwidth communications in sectors such as government and education, for instance, is posing a challenge to the market.

Fixing the Fort: Part 2
The time spent examining, observing, and working around the remarkable Enclosure of Khasekhemwy (the Fort) in December 2004 made us familiar with its details, imperfections, and blemishes. So when we returned at the beginning of February 2005, after a holiday break, it was quickly apparently to us that, even in this short time, gravity had taken its toll. It was only a matter of 4-5 fallen bricks here and perhaps a dozen there, but it was clear that the Fort needed more immediate attention. A look at the archival photographs shows what can happen over a period of exactly 100 years if left uncared for.
The west wall of the Fort in 1905. The north and south corners of the main walls are still intact and the south part of the perimeter wall still stands to near its full height. (Garstang Expedition, Liverpool University Archive Neg. H102)
The west wall in December 2004 prior to repairs. As gravity takes its toll, the holes just get bigger, taller, and deeper. Time is not on our side.
While it may take a trained eye to appreciate the fine details of the Fort, no expert was needed to understand the results of our brick tests. Before we left the site in December, we placed the newly created bricks in a variety of locations around the dig house compound. Examples of each recipe were exposed to wind, direct sun, shade, and combinations thereof. Some withstood these tests better than others. Although the consultants felt that the 1:3 (sand-to-soil) recipe best replicated the specifications they had developed for use at Abydos, these bricks did not stand up to exposure to wind. After just 6 weeks these bricks had lost their surfaces and testing (courtesy of Hassan Allam & Sons, Cairo) showed their dry compression strength to be minimal. The 1:4 and 1:5 mixtures held up better, but their excessive weight is a major consideration. Made without organic additives, they weigh 1.5 to 2 times more than the ancient bricks and their use in large area reconstruction may have serious implications for the foundations and adjoining brickwork.
So it was back to the drawing board for more experiments, but not before we picked up our custom-made brick stamp from the iron workshop at the nearby Coptic Monastery of Saint Pachomius (the ca. A.D. 290-346 founder of Christian cenobitic, or communal, monasticism, whose rule book of observances for monks is the earliest extant).
Not only are good mud bricks harder to make, but apparently good bricks stamps aren't that easy to manufacture either. As Abuna (Monk) Mousa explained to us, getting a metal rod just the right size and weight for the stamp's letters was a challenge. In the end, success was attained only at the expense of the doorknobs throughout the monastery! The rectangular shaft, that part that fits into the socket to release the latch when the knob is turned, turned out to be just perfect. Luckily the monastery was going through some refurbishment at the time. I don't know how the other monks felt about this use of their doorknobs, but we were all delighted with the stamp and its results.
||Father Mousa demonstrates our brick stamp. (Richard Jaeschke)|
While the search for the optimal brick continued, we still had many other questions that had to be answered before we could contemplate large-scale stabilization of the monument. For example, were the new bricks too big? Too small? What type of mortar would work the best? How should we lay the new bricks? Would there be settling or shrinking? While perhaps not the very best, we did have several different batches of adequate bricks ready for use while the new batches dried. In order to investigate these issues and do something to help the Fort, we chose several non-load bearing locations around the monument for repair with these bricks, each area representing a different set of challenges and questions. The work is entirely reversible, if necessary, and the removal of the new brick work, if it is found to be inappropriate for the long term, will have no ill effect on the structure, and whatever the ultimate result, at least for the moment the repairs hold off that inescapable tug of gravity.
We began our work on the interior face of the perimeter wall on the south side of the Fort. Here, a hole, 1.65 long x 1.60 high x 0.88 m deep, had been dug in recent times by robbers to obtain the bricks. This gap was cleared of dust and loose debris and the local mason, Abdullah, began filling the hole with new bricks on February 12, 2005. The last three courses were completed two days later to see if there were any problems with settling or shrinkage. No measurable movement was observed (the foundations here were still intact), so the last of about 200 bricks were put in place to complete our first structural repair. By choosing a gap bounded on all four sides by original brick, we were able to test brick size (they did fit correctly within the ancient courses), mortar composition (not too wet, not too dry), logistics (the realities of following the ancient laying pattern and wall batter), and drying time and settling, Finally, there's appearance--will the color and laying pattern be what we ultimately want? We'll have to wait and see.
Aside from teaching us many things, this repair will prevent further erosion, improve the appearance of the monument and more importantly, make a statement that further mining of the walls will not be tolerated. Guards have been posted to enforce this.
Next we moved eastward along the south wall to the first of the series surviving pilasters along this protected face. Uncovered 100 years ago by Garstang, these pilasters are the Fort's best-preserved examples of original architecture and finishing touches (some still preserve the original mud render and white plaster coating). Although archival photographs from 1934 show that pilasters once appeared all along the south wall, those at the east end have since disappeared leaving only scars in the facade. The lower part of the pilaster in question had fallen away and it was soon going to be joining its neighbors to the east. So in 1998 we constructed a temporary buttress to support its remaining upper masonry. It was satisfying to finally repair it more permanently and interesting to observe just how these decorative pilasters were constructed.
The broken area allows us to see that the raised brickwork was anchored to the wall by a series of header bricks that jutted out from the wall surface for half of their length. These occur in every third course and this course is always laid in stretchers. Thus the size and placement of the pilasters were integral to the design and construction of the walls from the beginning, but the pilasters serve only a decorative purpose. The anchoring bricks provide the only bond as the other masonry of the pilaster only abuts the wall facade and this is part of the problem. If the foundations are compromised or some of the anchoring bricks are lost or damaged, the remaining headers are not strong enough to support the weight of bricks above them. In the case of this pilaster, when the lower part failed because of weakness in the foundations, the anchor bricks were snapped in half. In order to rebuild the pilaster, the broken ends (4 in all) were successfully removed and replaced. Reconstruction then followed the ancient brick pattern.
The appearance of the pilasters in this well visiting location is important for a full appreciation of the monument and this experiment tests the aesthetics and durability of repairs to decorative elements. Now we will consider whether the sharp corners of the new bricks should be shaved down to match the condition of the remaining original brickwork; or whether time, weather, and careless visitors will do that for us.

Next it was on to the north face for a different experience. For millennia, the north face of the Fort has been blasted by the prevailing wind. A repair here would be a true test of the weathering capacity of the bricks and mortar, so we decided to try it. Subsidence and corbelling in a long, low undercut 6.3 long by 0.95 m deep threatened the survival of this section of the north wall, which is still full-standing. Prior to repair, the lowered ground surface (30-50 cm below the foundations of the wall) and a hole in the underlying hard silts had to be filling with compacted soil to make a strong and level foundation for the new work. We found that the soil we had collected from the fossil Nile terrace location for brick making compacted well and worked wonderfully for this type of foundation work. Its ultimate utility in brick making remains to be seen, but we have found an excellent use for it now.
Unprotected exposure to the prevailing north winds means that very little original surface survives on the enclosure's north face. In order to stabilize this area, the brick repair was extended out and up only so far as to make it flush with and a support for the best-preserved surface on the upper portion of wall. In the end, that amounted to a repair more than 1.5 m high and has raised further questions regarding appearance and technique, with which we are still grappling. Because we did not build the new brickwork out to the original face of monument since it no longer survives, it was impossible to follow the original laying pattern using whole bricks. Instead of stacked headers, bonded stretchers were laid. In addition, the area in need of filling was relatively shallow and any reconstruction less than one brick thick would be too thin to stand or provide support. There are many locations around the monument where wind erosion has shaved off a row or two of bricks, so this problem is not an isolated one. If we had reconstructed the wall to its original surface (remnants of the mud plaster that had run off of it during some ancient rain storm were still preserved at ground level), where would we stop? Do we make an unsightly "shelf" somewhere or do we continue up the entire 9 m of the wall, encasing it in new construction? Neither option was appealing, as the purpose of our work is stabilization, and not reconstruction. The ultimate appearance also remains a concern and we must wait and see whether the repair bricks should be feathered in or distressed to fit in more naturally with the ancient walls, or whether wind erosion will make this unnecessary.
No one said it would be easy. However, we are quite happy with the ingenious repairs made to the remaining segment of the perimeter wall along the west side. This section of perimeter wall was so badly undercut that light could be seen at the base. This wall was going to collapse at any minute. The ground level on all sides falls away sharply to over 1m below the wall foundations causing active subsidence. Levelling of the full area around this wall would have required a large amount of soil, so we decided to create retaining walls of fired brick, in essence, a box or casemate about 7 x 3.5 m to surround the wall segment on all sides. This box was then filled with compacted soil to create a hard and stable foundation for the repair. Fired brick was chosen so that in future the casemate will not be mistaken for ancient construction. One the foundations were strong, we made repairs to both sides of the wall. On the interior face, the original surface was preserved, but on the exterior this was not the case so again we built up and out only as far as necessary to support remaining ancient brick. Following the repairs, the fired-brick retaining wall was banked with soil both to support it and hide it. The severely lowered ground level all along the western side of the monument will eventually need to be raised (for a distance of over 30 m!!). This initial experiment will test the suitability of the fired-brick casemate construction for this purpose. In the coming season, we will check the fired-brick walls for cracks and shifting. Fingers crossed! If it works, we should be able to make substantial progress in rescuing the Fort quickly and with a minimum of expense.
||Perimeter wall repaired. Now we wait and see...|
As for other parts of the monument, until the optimal brick is devised and created in great quantity (repair of the west wall and its structurally important corners is estimated to require more than 100,000 bricks!), there wasn't much we could in the way of a permanent fix. However, we were able to buy the Fort several more years by revving up the sand-bag machine.
Despite our best efforts, burlap bags just weren't available, so we settled for several 1,000 plastic weave sacks that were hand filled, hand sown, and delivered by donkey cart (the walls are too fragile to withstand vibrations from a pickup truck) to support the southwest (see week 2) and northeast corners.
||Donkey cart delivery to the Northeast corner. Sand bags were delivered by donkey cart because of the fragility of the walls and their sensitivity to vibrations of cars or heavy machinery.|
The loss of the northeast corner was a recent catastrophe. It collapsed in 2002. The corner was already weakened by a deep hole at its base and corbelling at foundation level, but it is suspected that unsupervised geological research in the vicinity was the final straw. The failure of the lower part of the north face revealed the first phase wall to its full height of 2.3 m but created a dangerously unprotected overhang of masonry above. Major cracks were developing in this upper masonry and it was clear that without support, more of this corner was going to collapse very soon. There was no time to waste. First, we had to remove the pile of fallen bricks and, like everywhere else, raise and reinforce the ground surface. On this strengthened surface we began to build a buttress of sandbags 2 m wide and 4 m high to support unstable sections of the upper wall. A slow and laborious task, but it too taught us important lessons in the art of sand-bag buttress construction and a new-found respect for the difficulties faced by all conservation projects throughout the globe.
In fact, all of the repairs are teaching us something as we prepare for the big fixes. The ever-growing gap in the middle of the exterior west wall is one of our biggest worries. About 15 m long, 2.5 m high and growing, but thankfully still only about 1.2 m deep, this giant wound is a major threat to the survival of the Fort. Since the ground surface here is about 1m below the footings of the wall, this gap just gets larger and larger as more bricks succumb to gravity. If the breach gets any deeper, it will meet up with the deep cavity that has been excavated into the wall on the interior. Right now, we have a thickness of about 1.5 m of brick holding it all up--not a lot to balance on--and we can only fix the interior after the exterior has been stabilized. So, we need to raise the ground level, strengthen the foundations, make a lot of good bricks (we estimate we will need more than 14,000), work out the logistics and get busy! We hope to get started in November 2005.
Permanent repair of the major gap in the center of the west wall is estimated to require more than 14,000 bricks.
It's a big job and it will be expensive. We are extremely grateful to the World Monuments Fund for their support of the current work. We also wish to thank ARCHAEOLOGY; the LaSalle Bank, Chicago; Tom and Linda Heagy; David and Crennan Ray; Larry and Renée Stevens; Courtney Taylor; James and Jeanne Manning; Francis Ahearne; Rikki Breem, and our many Friends of Nekhen for their generous donations to the Fix the Fort Fund.

It wasn't all sand, bricks, and mortar down at the Fort. Between deliveries from the donkey cart we were able to examine the structure in more detail and use many of the insights gained during the repairs to gather new facts about this neglected monument and begin a preliminary reconstruction of the Fort and the Fort within the Fort. Coming soon in "Fort Facts," we will share some of the new things we have learned and wish to investigate further. | <urn:uuid:7d9b0595-403e-426a-871e-e5f6dac78474> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://interactive.archaeology.org/hierakonpolis/field/fortd.html | 2018-11-16T18:39:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743110.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116173611-20181116195611-00159.warc.gz | en | 0.967712 | 3,479 | [

Throughout the summer heat, people are not necessarily thinking about the heating unit in their homes. As summer comes to an end and the crisp fall air comes in, they realize they need to start getting ready for winter and much colder days and nights. If the heat is not up to par and stops working in the dead of winter, it may be hard to find a contractor to come out to quickly take a look and get it back up and running. What are some signs Heating Repair in Neenah WI is needed before winter?
An older furnace is one of the most common problems. After a unit has been running for many years, it begins to wear down. The first signs are multiple repairs being needed and then it is time to replace the unit completely. A new furnace can offer many benefits as opposed to continuing to pay for costly repairs on a unit with not much life expectancy left.
Loud Noises Coming from Furnace
Systems that constantly run and make loud noises are a sign something is going on. Noises like this mostly come from the inside of the unit. A contractor should look at the furnace to see why it is struggling to work properly.
A Rise in Heating Bill
When a person sees a spike in their heating bill, they should first check their HVAC unit. Programmable thermostats can help save energy when a unit is causing an increase in the heating bill. If one is being used and there is still a rise in the bill, this is a sign of another problem.
A licensed heating and air conditioning contractor can identify and take care of any of the issues with not much hassle at all. It is good to identify problems early so people can be the most comfortable in their homes. If Heating Repair in Neenah WI is not taken care of before it gets too cold, it can make for a long and miserable winter.

Hankyu Juso Station (阪急十三駅), just 3 minutes from Umeda, is a commercial node with covered shopping arcades extending directly from both west and east exit. This post will focus on the west side of the station.
The streets above are highlighted hierarchically as follows:
– Magenta: Arcades and open air, car-free “nightlife alleys”.
– Red: “Busy” Boulevards.
– Orange: “Quiet” Boulevards.
Orange with Orange Outline: Scramble intersection and wide crosswalks.
– Yellow: Woonerfs & Narrow Streets.
– Green: Laneways. Only a fraction (3/4?) are highlighted.
The Hierarchy of Japanese Streets categorizes the highlighted streets as follows* (with stats given for this area specifically):
* Only a fraction (3/4?) of the Laneways are counted and highlighted (green).

As we near the top of the Hiphop Masterpieces of the 2000s list, a common thread begins to emerge: business. How to succeed in a cutthroat business environment has always been, to a surprising and largely unrecognized degree, one of hiphop's core lyrical themes. Inspired by films like The Godfather and Goodfellas, following the early lead of EMPD and Q-Tip (who advised that "record company people are shady"), rappers have aligned their egos with their management skills, taking pride in their abilities to compete and win in the rap game (which, Nas famously pointed out, has a lot in common with the crack game). Like the novels of Horatio Alger, modern hiphop offers inspirational stories about working hard, focusing on goals, avoiding traps and pitfalls, coming out on top.
But boasting about business skills offers too many openings to shallow pretenders with no real experience or staying power. This is why Cam'ron mocks a newbie rapper, flush with his first advance, on the track "Let Me Know":
Got thirty thou, now your action's begun?
Actin' all fun? After taxes, you're done.
It might surprise people who don't know much about hiphop to learn that the best artists rap about taxes. But nobody in the field has the authority of Dr. Dre, architect of N.W.A.'s seminal career in the early 1990s, arguably the most talented beat designer of all time, and the mastermind behind the careers of Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent and The Game. Dre would be a legend even if he weren't a powerful storyteller with a distinctive voice of his own and a whole lot of opinions and emotions to share. But he greeted the new millennium with an album so definitive that it may outrank everything else he's ever done. 2001, a massive achievement, is a comedy record and a collection of outrageously good club-bangers, but it's also an autobiography, taking us back to where it all started:
Back when Cube was rolling with Lorenzo in a Benzo
I was banging with a gang of instrumentals
Got out the pads and pencils, got down to business
but sometimes the business end of this shit can turn your friends against you
We hear him struggling with past opponents on one track after another, sometimes to come to terms with them and end the beef, sometimes to take the beef to a new level. An atmosphere of thoughtful reckoning and timeworn reflection pervades the work.
I got more class than most of 'em
ran with the best of 'em
forgave the less of 'em
and blazed at the rest of 'em
It's not completely clear what the fabulously wealthy Dr. Dre has to be angry about when he wrote these songs, but defiance is the album's top note, even though Dre usually laughs off his opponents and critics:
Ladies, they pay homage
but haters says Dre fell off
My last album was 'The Chronic'
This is a hilarious line because The Chronic (another masterpiece, to which 2001 is often seen as the sequel) came out in 1992. But that's Dre, clocking at his own pace, ignoring the world outside as much as he wants. The Chronic began with some premium beef tracks (directed at Eazy-E), but 2001 begins in dead seriousness with "The Watcher", a proclamation as sincere and personal as hiphop has ever heard:
I moved out of the hood for good, you blame me?
Niggas aim mainly at niggas they can't be
But niggas can't hit niggas they can't see
I'm out of sight, now I'm out of their damn reach
How would you feel if niggas wanted you killed?
You'd probably move to a new house on a new hill
And choose a new spot if niggas wanted you shot,
I ain't a thug, how much Tupac in you you got?
I ain't no bitch neither
It's either my life or your life, and I ain't leaving
I like breathing
Nigga, we can go round for round
Clip for clip, shit, pound for pound
If you really want to take it there we can
Just remember that you're fucking with a family man
I got a lot more to lose than you
remember that when you wanna come and fill these shoes
Dre walks us through the mistakes he's made, pausing to dwell on them to teach us a few lessons we might need:
I done learned a lot, seen a whole lot
Top notch nigga, I'm fiendin for that spot
Now peep game on what Six-Deuce told me
"These niggaz is after your paper, Dr. D.R.E."
"And these punk-ass hos is lookin for dough
You gotta watch your homeboys, cause a nigga never know
Oh, they'll be around, but when your paper get low
Just like Master P said, there they go, there they go"
But, again like a Horatio Alger story, Dre's words are meant to inspire. A peaceful mood of proud achievement lies beneath every smooth drumbeat and synthesized orchestra blast on this album, and no song is happier than the mellow single "Still D.R.E.", a sweet moment of satisfaction from a person doing exactly what he wants to do, nothing more and nothing less:
Still puffing my leaf
Still fuck with the beats
Still not loving police
2001 is a great album but not a perfect one. Some of the skits are funny, some pointless. I wish the album were less misogynistic, and I will never understand why a person as wise and people-smart as Dr. Dre appears to be would spew so much hateful invective towards women. This is hiphop's problem, not just Dre's, but 2001 would be a better work if it could be fully enjoyed by self-respecting women as well as by men. That's all I can say about this; hiphop's harsh sexism is a syndrome I just don't understand.
Dre may truly hate women. If he does, it's his problem rather than mine, and I can enjoy his brilliant work regardless. He certainly can collaborate with other men. Eminem and Snoop Dogg are all over 2001, along with countless local rappers and producers. Dre is generous: one of the record's best tracks is Some L. A. Niggaz, and you don't hear even Dre or Snoop or Eminem on it. MC Ren from N.W.A. makes an appearance, and the snappy beat is just infectious, even if you don't know who's rapping. It's just a voice from the street, just some guy who tells us:
Now in my younger days I used to sport a rag ...
Hiphop doesn't get much more epic than 2001. A couple of years ago a follow-up album called Detox was announced, but this was followed by the tragic news of Dre's 20-year-old son's death, and we haven't heard anything about the follow-up to The Chronic and 2001 since. Dre will put the record out when he's ready, and not till then. That's the way he works.

Magnesium Baby Sleepy Toes Towelettes
Magnesium has become a bit of a buzzword and it is important to understand just how important this mineral is to our overall function as a human being.
All too often we take for granted that the required minerals and supplements we need will be found in our food. Sadly, due to many factors, this cannot be guaranteed.
Magnesium is a nutrient mineral that we need for muscle, nerve and bone function. It also helps to keep a steady heart rhythm, healthy immune system, normal blood and sugar levels, along with helping make energy and protein for the body.
So why would a baby need extra magnesium?
Sometimes mum, simply can't provide the right magnesium levels for her baby. If, for whatever reason, a baby is not breastfed, they may need extra nutrients. Or, due to nutritional depletion in mum, the breast milk may not have sufficient elements for a growing baby.

It is not uncommon for locals who live near wooded areas to encounter deer a few times.
They usually come in herds, and due to their appetite for vegetables and flowers, people who love gardening consider them as pests.
The Disney movie, Bambi, is animated proof for how adorable baby deer can be. But one woman has a real life experience on encountering not one, but three super adorable baby deer.
The young woman, Amscholie, took to Imgur to tell her wonderful experience with her three baby deer.
Apparently, a terrible storm was going to hit her area so she needed to make certain preparations.
She left her backyard door open while she was doing her preparations.
When the storm hit, she went to check on the orphaned white-tailed baby deer she had been taking care of. However, they were nowhere to be found.
When she came back inside, she was met with a wonderful surprise.
The three baby deer were sitting next to her table in the living room.
Because of the terrible storm, she allowed them to stay inside for the night.
They’re so happy to be inside the house during the storm.
How could you refuse a face like this?
These baby deer are so cute! They can melt even the hardest of hearts.
According to AccuWeather, animals have far superior weather-detecting abilities compared to humans. They can sense changes in air pressure and hear frequencies that humans are not capable of detecting.
These baby deer are merely using their animal instincts to seek proper shelter for the storm they sensed, in the most adorable way. | <urn:uuid:9cd224c4-085f-4c15-9026-8a70ba1aff02> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://en.goodtimes.my/2018/10/25/delightful-surprise-when-three-baby-deer-sneaks-into-womans-house-during-bad-storm/ | 2018-11-20T15:43:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746465.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120150950-20181120172950-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.974693 | 336 | [

CIVIL CAUSE NO 405 OF 2001
FRANK LESLIE HARAWA ………………………………. PLAINTIFF
WHEELS OF AFRICA (MW) …………………………… DEFENDANT
CORAM: POTANI, REGISTRAR
ORDER ON ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES
This is an action instituted by the plaintiff, Frank Leslie Harawa, against the defendant, Wheels of Africa (Malawi) Limited. The action arises from a road traffic accident attributed to the negligence of the defendant’s driver as a result of which the plaintiff’s vehicle got damaged. In the statement of claim, the plaintiff is claiming the sum of K433,761.79 being repair costs, damages for loss of use and costs of the action. A judgment on admissions was entered in favour of the plaintiff on May 31, 2001. Subsquently, the plaintiff took out a notice of assessment of damages.
According to the plaintiff, he is a Malawian resident in the Republic of South Africa (RSA). The accident giving rise to this action occurred when he, together with some South African friends, came to Malawi to attend a brother’s funeral. As a result of the accident, which occurred before he attended the funeral, his vehicle got considerably damaged. He took it to Lotus Motors Limited and Automotive Products Limited for repair cost quotations. At Lotus Motors, it was Mr Steven Nkhata, PW2, who assessed the cost of repairing the damaged vehicle and he tendered his quotation as Exhibit P5 for the sum of K490,231.89. Mr Stewart Liabunya, PW3, is the one who assessed the vehicle at Automotive Products and he came up with the repair cost quotation for the sum of K433,761.79. He tendered his quotation as Exhibit P7.
The plaintiff further testified that due to the damage caused to his vehicle, he was greatly inconvenienced as he had to travel by public transport to attend the funeral. His friends from South Africa could not go with him. Instead, they remained in Blantyre waiting for him to come back from the funeral while one of them had to leave earlier for South Africa. The plaintiff spent R640.00 for the travel fare for the friend who had to return earlier. For those who remained in Blantyre, he spent about K6000.00 for their upkeep. He himself spent K3000.00 to travel to the funeral. He also had it that because of the expenses he incurred which also included K2000.00 for police report as shown in exhibit P2, K1000.00 for the quotation he got from Lotus Motors as shown in Exhibit P3 and K1,819.58 for the quotation issued by Automotive Products as shown in exhibit P4 he run out of money and had to borrow K8,000.00 from his mother. He also had to call for more money from the RSA because he and his friends stayed in Malawi longer than they had planned inorder to sort out matters relating to the damaged vehicle.
One witness, Alexander Chimwaza, Operations Supervisor for the defendant gave defence testimony. Briefly, his evidence was that after the accident giving rise to this action, one of his superiors, in his presence, took photographs tendered as exhibit D1(a) and 1(b) depicting the state of the car after the accident. Thereafter, the defendant arranged for an assessment of the damage caused on the plaintiff’s vehicle to be done by an Insurance Assessor after being not satisfied with the repair cost quotations the plaintiff obtained from Lotus Motors and Automotive Products. He tendered the assessment report at exhibit D1 showing a repair cost of K97,229.28.
Both counsel furnished the court with written submissions which I have very much considered. Before going further, I wish to observe that in his submission, more specifically paragraph 3.1, counsel for the plaintiff took cognizance of the legal position that special damages must not only be specifically pleaded but must also be strictly proved and reference was made to the case of Yanu Yanu Bus Company vs. Mbewe. Counsel, however, did not provide the citation of the case. Be that as it may, the law is indeed as counsel put it in his submission. Observably, in his evidence, the plaintiff sought to adduce evidence of certain aspects such as expenses for securing a medical report, money paid to have repair cost quotations and other expenses that have not been specifically pleaded in the statement of claim. I would hasten to say that I shall ignore his evidence on those items of expenditure not pleaded and particularized in the statement of claim.
Going through counsel’s respective submissions it come out clearly that the real bone of contention is which of the repair cost estimates between those sourced by the plaintiff and that sourced by the defendant represent a true reflection of the expenses the plaintiff would suffer to have his car repaired. I must admit that looking at the evidence before me in its entirely, it is a matter that has given me some anxious moments. This, I say, because to begin with, looking at the damaged vehicle as depicted in exhibit D1 (a) and 1(b) one gets the impression that the damage was not as extensive as to cost in excess of K400,000.00 as the quotations obtained by the plaintiff show. Of course, I bear in mind that counsel for the plaintiff in cross examining the defendant’s witness sought to attack the propriety of admitting the photographs exhibit D1(a) and 1(b) in evidence as the witness admitted that he was not the one who took the photographs. What I would wish to say on this point is that the witness clearly stated that he saw the vehicle immediately after it got damaged and was present when the photographs were being taken. I am therefore, of the view that it is perfectly inorder to allow the photographs in evidence. The other hurdle I am faced with relates to the Insurance Assessor’s assessment of the repair cost tendered as exhibit D2 by Alexander Chimwaza, DW1. Dw1 admitted in cross examination that he was not the author of the assessment report I would, therefore, disregard its contents. I therefore only have the repair cost quotations from Lotus Motors and Automotive Products, one the hand, and the damaged vehicles photographs, on the other hand, on which to decide how much the plaintiff should be paid for his damaged vehicle.
It is imperative to note that both counsel, in their submissions, acknowledge that Automotive Products are the sole authorized dealers of vehics of the type of the plaintiff’s damaged vehicle. I would therefore, for purposes of this assessment, reject the quotation from Lotus Motors. The quotation from Automotive Products puts the repair costs at K464,954.00. I made some attempt to relate this cost with the damage caused to the vehicle as depicted in exhibit D1(a) and 1(b) but unfortunately it is difficult to really discern the precise damage the vehicle suffered. As against that, I really have no basis on which to doubt the correctness of the assessment made by Automotive Products Limited. As being local dealers of the type of vehicles like the one the subject of these proceedings, they are better placed in ascertaining the cost of repairing such vehicles in the event of an accident. I would consequently order that the plaintiff he paid the sum of K433,761.79 as damages for repair costs.
Then there is the claim for loss of use. It is important to bear in mind that the damaged vehicle was a private as opposed to a commercial vehicle. On this aspect, I am guided by the remarks of Mtegha J in Chinema vs. World Vision International Civil cause Number 1097 of 1991. There is no evidence in this case as to the period the plaintiff was deprived of the use of the vehicle. There is just the evidence of the inconviniece the plaintiff suffered. I consider an award of K40,000.00 for loss of use to be fair and adequate. This brings the total award to K473,761.79.
Costs of this action to be bone by the defendant and such costs to be taxed if not agreed by the parties.
Made in chambers this day of February 5, 2003, at BLANTYRE.

On October 16th 2018, we celebrated the recommissioning of RCGS Resolute in true expedition style. The One Ocean Expeditions team, partners and guests arrived en-masse in Sydney, Nova Scotia for the lively event to welcome the newest member of the fleet. Thanks to wind gusts of over 70km per hour, RCGS Resolute wasn’t able to enter the port after travelling through rough seas from Hamburg, Germany. Nevertheless, the event was a huge success, even without the star of the show present. This was a proud day for the entire One Ocean team and for Andrew Prossin, Managing Director and local Cape Bretoner.
RCGS Resolute, the industry’s first purpose-built passenger expedition cruise vessel, provides a springboard to further grow the number of sailings to remote and pristine destinations in the world, including Canada’s East Coast, the Canadian High Arctic and Antarctica. The new addition has also allowed us to venture into new waters, with the introduction of new destinations such as Central and South America as well as the North Atlantic Islands.
“One Ocean Expeditions’ fleet continues to evolve in setting a bold and innovative new course in the expedition cruise industry,” says Andrew Prossin, during the festivities.
Attendees were treated to warm and welcoming speeches by Master of Ceremonies The Honourable Manning MacDonald (CD) and The Honourable Cecil P. Clarke, Mayor of Cape Breton.
Honouring One Ocean Expeditions were Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s (RCGS) CEO John Geiger; the ship sponsor and Commissioner of Nunavut, The Honourable Nellie T. Kusugak; The Honourable Alexandra Shackleton; Rear Admiral Nick Lambert; Navy Captain Guillaume Lefrance (CD); The Honourable Rodger Cuzner (MP) and The Honourable Michael MacDonald (MP).
“As Her Majesty The Queen’s representative in Nova Scotia, it is my honour and pleasure to offer my sincere best wishes on the occasion of the Recommissioning Ceremony for RCGS Resolute,” stated The Honourable Arthur J. LeBlanc, Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia. “I was pleased to learn about the broad range of objectives that RCGS Resolute will pursue as part of its operations including education, exploration in remote areas, and oceanographic and marine mammal research, while at the same time supporting local economies in the remote areas the ship will visit. I congratulate One Ocean Expeditions on the recommissioning of RCGS Resolute and I wish its crew and future passengers fair winds and following seas as it travels to remote areas of the world.”
The celebration was steeped in centuries of old Naval tradition, including a champagne toast by the Commissioner of Nunavut and a blessing of the ship fulfilled by Reverend Canon Donald J Lawton (CD). Highlights included a performance by local darlings the Barra MacNeils who infused the Cape Breton spirit into the evening and a feeling of familial warmth amongst guests.
RCGS Resolute’s inaugural voyage will depart from Ushuaia, November 16th, 2018, on the “Antarctica – Off the Beaten Track’” voyage. | <urn:uuid:c57e33f2-0809-45c2-b7e3-571afa775844> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://discover.oneoceanexpeditions.com/celebrating-recommissioning-rcgs-resolute/ | 2018-11-20T16:19:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746465.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120150950-20181120172950-00079.warc.gz | en | 0.935963 | 677 | [

The Cayman Islands National Under-17 Girls Football team clipped Jamaica’s High School Girls champions Excelcior High, 1-0, at the Jamaican school’s playfield last Friday. The match was part of a training camp for the Caymanians who are preparing for World Cup qualifiers in Antigua next October.
The Cayman visitors wasted no time in going into the attack from the first sound of the whistle, taking two shots at goal in five minutes and shocking the hosts who saw them as underdogs.
In the 12th minute midfielder Shenel Gall picked up a ball in the middle and after beating two of Excelcior’s defenders released the ball to Shanice Monteith who wasted no time in dribbling through the space eluding the central defender and firing the ball pass goal keeper Shantalle Graham ending the first half 1-0.
The second half was much more interesting as the Excelcior team tried desperately to penetrate the Caymanians half but could not get very far as the defense line was like a wall with goalkeeper Emily Kelly having an outstanding game making four spectacular saves.
Jeffrey Webb, president of the Cayman Islands Football Association, said it was like a dream come true and confirms that hard work gives great rewards. Webb said that he was glad when he heard that the team had beaten a defending champion in Jamaica where the football programme is at a higher standard.
“Believe me, I was overwhelmed when I heard of the victory and I am sure it will motivate and encourage them to work even harder,” Webb said.
Team manager Bernie Bush said that he was proud of the girls and the fact that Webb had given him responsibility to develop this programme bringing it from scratch makes him even more proud.
“The oldest girl on this team is 15 years-old the Jamaicans are bigger in stature and three members of the team are national players,’ said Bush. ‘My team now has a benchmark to see what they are capable of achieving. I hope the Cayman Islands corporate community take this as an invitation to come on board with sponsorships to assist this team in going forward in their efforts to be top teams in the upcoming competition. They have the heart the talent and the discipline all they need is the support in cash or kind to complete the task. I am really satisfied.’
Meanwhile, The Cayman Islands women’s technical director, Thiago Cunha, was jubilant and expressed his joy in pointing out that the team was an average young team and the fact that the Excelcior team players were bigger and older was motivating for him.
“They were brave to have played so well against those big girls and won. I am confident that they will do well in the other games.
The trip to Jamaica was was made possible through the sponsorship of Digicel and the Caribbean Utility Company. Digicel outfitted the team in traveling and training gear and has also provided phones and communication services to the girls so they can stay in touch while they are away.
Digicel Cayman Head of Business Solutions John Byrne commented on the company’s support of the team: ‘Girls’ and women’s football in the Cayman Islands has grown tremendously in the past few years and now rivals men’s and boys’ football in both size and success. At Digicel we are very impressed by the hard work these young women put in to their sport and we are happy to support the team as they reach for even greater success.’
CIFA President Jeff Webb thanked Digicel for its support of the girls football programme, and also for the company’s ongoing support of football in the Cayman Islands and throughout the Caribbean.
Digicel sponsors the annual Digicel Cayman Cup tournament locally and is also the sponsor of the regional Digicel Caribbean Cup championships.

To see bubbles in your dream represent fun and childhood joys. It can also symbolizes wishes, hopes, and dreams that may be unrealistic or temporary in nature. To help you interpret dreams where you see or playing with bubbles, consider the context and your emotions from the dream.
Below are some of the common dreams where you might see and interact with bubbles.
To dream that you are taking a bubble bath represents ultimate relaxation. Perhaps you are looking to rid yourself of your worries and difficulties.
To blow bubbles in the dream and having fun while doing so, represents the joy of your childhood. It can also reflect the fleeting joy of being young.
Being Inside a Bubble
Dreaming about you or someone being inside a bubble, suggest that person may be living in an artificial world full of false and fragile believes. It can signal that the person is sensitive to negative outside comments and remarks.
If the bubble is huge and floating away with something or someone inside, it can suggest that someone is in “another world”, and that person may be drifting away from you since they are floating away to another place.
Big Bubble Bursting
To blow a huge bubble and have it bursting in the dream, symbolizes that your wishes and dreams may have been bust and caused you disappointment.

[PATCH] Make -f option with with folder names with spaces.

Well, theoretically yes. *By convention*, mailbox names are specified in
some weird UTF-7 encoding (ie, the specs leave the naming implementation
specific :-(), so they could theoretically start with a space.
But my life's goal is to kill everyone who ever creates a mailbox name
_starting_ with a space. ;-)
I don't really care, we can strip (providing less fragile command line
option handling) or not (preventing weirdly named boxes from
being included). But given that during the last 8 years, spaces in this
option were not possible at all and no one seemed to have complained, I
don't think it's going to be a big problem. :-)

Christmas. Time.Near-ta TheatreThis event has now finished
A fabulously funny festive treat, putting the 'cell' firmly back in to celebration!
Charlie and Toby are feeling low, and why wouldn't they? It's Christmas Day and they're serving time at Her Majesty's pleasure. But why shouldn't they be having a Merry Christmas in spite of their incarceration? What's stopping them from creating Christmas around them? Absolutely nothing!
And so they set off on their festival of carols, Claus, Christ and custody! Join them on a fantastical adventure through Dickens, pantomime, musical, Christmas dinner and Christmas films! See as they build a wonderfully Merry Christmas around them with songs, snowmen and lots of laughs in this truly festive show that puts the 'cell' firmly back in 'celebration'!
Written by Daniel Richards and Ciaran Clarke, and directed by Simon Harvey (Kneehigh and o-region), Christmas. Time. is a musical comedy for all the family and promises to be a fun, festive and fantastically funny Christmas offering from Near-ta Theatre!
