Detroit Emergency Manager freezing City Pensions and Benefits…(Coming To A City Near You!)
By Andre Damon
September 28, 2013
Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr announced a plan Thursday evening to freeze the city’s pension system and wipe out benefits for all unvested workers—a significant section of the workforce. Current vested workers—uniformed workers with ten or more years service and non-uniformed workers with eight or more years—will cease accruing additional benefits when the plan takes effect on January 1. Future cost-of-living adjustments for all workers, retired as well as current, will be eliminated.
The move follows the announcement of a plan to eliminate retiree health care benefits, forcing retirees over 65 onto Medicare and giving the rest a subsidy to purchase private insurance.
Orr, backed by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder and the Obama administration, put Detroit into bankruptcy in July, with the aim of slashing workers’ pensions, privatizing city services, selling off the collection at the Detroit Institute of Arts, and shutting down whole sections of the city. Detroit is seen as a model for similar actions throughout the country.
Under Orr’s scheme, the existing “defined benefit” plan, in which workers receive a set amount every year, will be replaced by a 401(k)-style “defined contribution” plan, tying workers’ retirement income to the vagaries of the stock market.
Worst affected by the proposal will be workers whose pensions plans have not yet vested. They will be shifted to the 401(k) plan with no accrued benefits.
The announcement on pension cuts was timed to coincide with the release of a report by the city’s independent auditor, commissioned by Orr, which claims that “questionable practices” and “excess payments” to retirees were major causes of the city’s debt crisis. | <urn:uuid:1cd250d3-a7fd-4812-b40a-39a2dfd07ac8> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://revolutionradio.org/?p=58791 | 2016-05-04T08:01:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860122533.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161522-00210-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.947308 | 393 | [

Monica’s boo Rocko Da Don is sick and tired of all you HATERS and says he ain’t takin it no mo! Well…he didn’t actually say that per se, but he did say that he wants to SALUTE all of you who keep his name in your mouth.
Rocko hit up Ustream tonight and went LIVE to address a few things. He said that one of his patnahs sent him a text last night about someone talkin slick online.
I have no idea the exact comment he was addressing, but Rocko went in! This is the most we’ve heard him speak (on camera) in quite some time and he ain’t holding back.
A few of my favortite Rocko-isms from last night….
Me? I’m far from perfect. If perfect was sitting right here next to me I wouldn’t even know him.
I’ve been called everything under the sun, so words don’t bother me. So don’t think this is a reply to anything said about me. This is for my supporters.
I’m far from a saint. But even if I was a Saint, what is a saint. Uncle said a saint is a sinner who just got up and kept pushing. So…maybe I am a saint. Who knows?
Just for the record, you don’t have to be a SAINT to have a relationship with God…
He also made a few confessions and dropped a bit of personal info about him. So check out the video below you may get some of the answers you’ve been looking for:

Fire away with questions for this week’s Q&A. Please don’t post new questions on the answers section, because I don’t always check the comments. Save them for next week.
On Phil Mathews’ age:
“Phil coached Tyler Lamb’s dad and uncle at Ventura JC. Had Terry Lamb in office Saturday and he laughed and had great respect for him. He’s coached the dad, and now he’s going to coach his son.”
On Donnie Daniels leaving:
“Donnie made this choice – he was not asked to leave. He got a great deal financially, he’s still paying for a daughter in college over in England. Donnie did just an unbelievable job when he was here, was a big part of why we had the success we had. He did a great job. I love Donnie, and I’ll always appreciate everything he gave to our program.”
How long has this been in the works?
BH: “We started talking about this – it’s been a few weeks. I can’t tell you exactly what the date was. He was the first guy that came to my mind right away. He was my No. 1 choice from the get go.”
Why did it take so long?
BH: “We were in no hurry. He still had some responsibilities in Nebraska. I’m friends with Doc Sadler at Nebraska and they had to finish things they had going there. I didn’t want to hurt my relationship with Doc. Phil meant the world to them and their program, and I handle it the right way with people I respect. That’s probably why it went a little longer than usual.”
The hiring process may have dragged on, but Phil Mathews knew immediately he would jump at the chance to replace Donnie Daniels as a UCLA assistant men’s basketball coach.
“I’m a SoCal kid – born and raised, grew up in SoCal – to get the opportunity to come back and coach at a place like UCLA was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” Mathews said during a conference call with UCLA head coach Ben Howland on Monday, after he was officially named an assistant coach after four years at Nebraska. “When Ben offered me the position, it was something I couldn’t pass up.”
Howland lauded Mathews recruiting ties in Southern California, as Mathews was a fixture in the basketball scene in the area for nearly three decades.
Before his stint with the Cornhuskers, Mathews spent 25 years coaching in California, all but nine in the southland. After playing for UC Irvine from 1970-72, Mathews spent several years as an assistant for the Anteaters and Cal State Fullerton, before eventually becoming head coach at Ventura College from 1985-95. After a 10-year run at the University of San Francisco, Mathews returned to the JC ranks to head San Bernadino Valley.
“I’ve known Phil for 28 years,” Howland said. “I was an assistant coach at Santa Barbara when he was at Fullerton way back in the day, 28 years ago. I’ve always had great respect for him as a coach, and as a recruiter. Important to me too are the ties he has to the SoCal community. He’s had a great experience, even being out now in the Big-12 and Nebraska. He’s a good coach, a very good recruiter, a good person who will represent the university in a first-class fashion.”
Why did you decide to come to UCLA?
“Growing up in Southern California, you grow up as a Bruin fan. Knowing that L.A. is a great place to play and coach at, you always want to do that as a young player and young coach. To get the opportunity to come back to SoCal with the great job and great position, this is great.”
How can you help with recruiting?
“Being a SoCal guy, coaching JC, high school, D-1, I’ve established a lot of contacts with the AAU, the high school coaches that go back a long time. Ben doesn’t need help coaching. He needs a guy who can come here and help him get back to the final four.” | <urn:uuid:753468e9-2e9a-44ed-b611-1a01d57f3d5a> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.insidesocal.com/ucla/2010/04/page/3/?doing_wp_cron=1353874202.9559710025787353515625 | 2016-05-04T08:42:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860122533.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161522-00210-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984172 | 938 | [

D baph....again? All na publicity stunt jor.
What's that?Last to comment! Yah!
You only see what your eyes want to see....Sommie Italia
Hmmm beyonce needs to stop for real if not God is about to pull her down flat on her face. All these supporting of occult nonsense even if she is just doing it for controversry or to make sales has got to stop.
Beyonce why have Ʊ sold ur soul to the devil? For fame and for money. Am so dissapointed,.
The illuminati creature can be seen clearly. The creatures there are 2 and the horn is visible. The triangle mark is also evident.
Illuminati tinz. May God save dem before its too late...
That's Baphomet! The sign of Illuminati! This gal has sold her soul. Smh!
They say am getting money, must be illuminati, talking to the holy ghost in ma bugatti. KING BOSS
Honestly thought I was looking at a monster before I read the blurb and realized in was a shot from a video.I guess she thrives in the controversy this stuff brings. On the other hand, people should remember she is creole and creole folks are into all sorts of stuff good bad and ugly.
i see nothing but love sign, dont know what you guyz are seeing
Its no secret 1+1 video is highly demonic. Everything she does now seems to glorify her devil worshiping even more. But of course, all the people she has bewitched will form voltron on her behalf. Carry on.
ILLUMINATI Confirmento! So glearing....may God deliver ur soul!Beyonce BOW DOWN TO GOD!!!!!!!
And yall stay ignorant. What's a random still image got to do with YOUR own soul?
Its one things to "only see what your eyes want to see" then its another thing to deny substantial information and dismiss at face-value.It is what it is
anonymous people say the dummest things
Devil preaching and playing her lead roll....POSIDUM is laughing, Apollo is silent, Athena is wondering, Hades is Too Happy....& Zeus is Watching..."STILL WATCHING FROM MY OCEAN
BAPHOMET! *in dat guy's voice*
uhhh...what are we seeing?? You people have time sha
The ist day I saw dis her video was d last day I stopped being her fan. D signs were written all over dis video dt she has something with d devil. May God have mercy on her n save her soul.
This is disgusting. I pity the so called illuminati cos dey are all going 2 hell soon.
Its very sad when u look up sm1 ppl nd they end up disappointing you. Had to delete her works from my life. Shame
She's fulfilling her calling to earth..
Linda,it's "eyes want to see", not "eyes wants to see". You are an English graduate for Christ's sake. As for Beyonce woman, it's a pity
All of this is packaging. There's nothing like that.... Watch closely..... They are clocking billions of dollars
Can't you see it. On the top is a woman's cut and down below is ass hole
Foolish people, can't you see the Pussy...... Otu, Obo, em hausa, i no know. Linda, bad girl.
Many people claiming she is satanic buy her cds, listen to her songs and are dying to meet her. If you stop all of these, maybe she would stop having the influemce that keeps her 'satanic'.
Funny thng is she had money,fame and beauty alrdy.Was joining dem dt necessary?
I can olny see clitoris. Shikena!
Stfu! Bloody fool
Nigerians y'all are very bush people. The world has moved on, stop all this fetish bullshit. Very ignorant punks.
This illuminati B.S is so getting tired. God said in the scriptures and i quote "choose you this day whom you will serve". If jay and bey have decided to serve the devil, it is their CHOICE. People should leave them the hell alone. God will judge each man on the last day.If you do not like their choice, do not support them in any way or their music period. But to be constantly bashing them and saying things about illuminati, a topic which many of these people that bash cannot even sit down and debate logically and factually about, even makes them worse than the devil. This shit is so crazy, you begin to wonder, how much of this bashing actually comes from genuine anger at the so called illuminati worshippers, or just from pure evil jealousy.
Lmao... Linda is a dirty girl! True
bush people helping to stash her bank account by popularity growth...
What a shame beyounce!u condemend ur eternity for wordly enjoyment,shame
Can see Baphomet, yea! D sign of d ilunminati. May God save u Bey! Don't know y u opt 4 ds, its your life though.
Rev 18:3The kings of the earth committed adulterywith her, and the merchants of theearth grew rich from her(devil) excessiveluxuries.Well 90% of our role models already signed up.A child of God can sure be wealthy, but sorry to say, not as that massive as our billionaires of today.REMEMBER THE LAST TEMPTATION OF JESUS.
Can't see anything you Guys make news out of any things
People are unbelievably stupid! Can't you idiots concentrate on your sick and boring lives instead of saying absolute bollocks about an innocent celebrity? I mean what the fuck is wrong with this generation? Even if he is the devil has he killed someone? Has he caused World War 3? Why the fucking hate? Disgusting cunts. Cause he's rich yeah? Leave Beyonce and Jay out of your miserable talk! Fuck this.
What shall it profit a man or a woman to again fame on earth and loss their soul. May the souls of all the innocient people she has sold also to the devil receive redemption IJN...
Na una know Wetin una see.like d saying goes,"wat u don't know cannot harm u".
@ Prince Charming, stop being an ignorant moron....that's not Baphomet. Maybe you should look up what Baphomet looks like b4 displaying your ignorance.
@lindaikeji, u dnt stil believe illuminati abi? Mayb beyonce's js 'drawin attention'. No case o!
Shame...things we do for money...she lost it ever since she left her dad cos of fame.
I jes pirry her....maybe she dsnt knw she won't tak money n fame with her when she dies.....smh
Soul sold! Smh! Girl with talent, what do u need illuminati for biko? Shame,
Two things. The illuminati Ish she's promoting and n preaching..and also it looks like a woman's vagina and anus hole with the mons (the part where d puboc hair is)Anyhow, she's going down real fast..if you like call Satan your father, your time is up Bey.
Baphomet this their demon that they are worshiping...na wa
Oya oh! All those 'bow bitch' or whatever, follow her now and go!
you guys are really quick in making judgement thats just an effect created on the screen....what will you say about niggas in paris video.....atleast in watch the throne concert I saw a high level of creative displayed during the shows. thats just her ears in the middle joined on both sides. please lets be objective in our views...always question your first option or thought about events before you act....create different dimensions for making a sound.
The mind is a very powerful tool and many are successful because they have understood the secret to playing tricks not with their own mind but with the minds of millions of people. The illuminati might or might not be in existence still http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati but it is a lot more easier to think that there's a hidden evil message in a video than to think it's just someone taking advantage of the paranoia of many to advance their fame and wealth. She is one half of Hollywood's most power couple for a reason after all. Question is who is really publicizing Illuminati? The many artists (who some love to hate) or the public who constantly witch hunt and live to fish out who is or is not a member of Illuminati? If you will devote your time to watching, pausing, back playing and transcribing a simple 3minutes video in order to point out the hidden messages that ordinarily will not be heard or seen, then maybe the strategy to promoting sect does not lie with the musicians or actors or the influential key figures; maybe promoters are actually the public who spends so so much time talking about it and promoting. It is (in its own rights) a mysterious world. Carve your niche...
See y I prefer kim to dis beast, just dt kim dey follow kanye now, n I knw by God's grace kanye will leave dis illuminate nonsense
Turn the pic upside down and you will see what they really wanted you to see.... If u like believe it or no, your pocket. Evil dey

Shut up u daft moron uche. R u blind?? Stupid son of d devil.
Hello blind bat @anon 7:07...go see an optician.

@anon 7:25 u r d only ignorant punk here,d signs r glarin wt kinda proof do u nid again dummy???
Well said Joanne Alex, i tire for the person who had the time to freeze the video at that exact time and discuss the illuminati symbol (don't even know what that is). Y'all should spend the time u devote to researching the sect to reading your bible/quran
Anon 7:28 u're a wimp
OMG anon 7:57 u r xo smart....jeez,mayb ya'll shuld do dsame xo u'd truly see dt linda did nt jes put it up 4 nufin.
This illuminati Issh is becoming too much tho...#GodIsInControl
To the fool saying nigerians are bush people, i guess we should discard our faith because the world has moved on. Are you so ignorant that you will deny the existence of evil in the world. Guess you're an atheist
Turn your phone upside down
Best comment eva @ Joanne Alex. I dnt get u people, u criticize, judge nd throw stones @ her. Bt d truth is if one decides 2 believe all dese stories we won't even listen 2 any foreign song. D same videos dat say Beyonce Jayz, kanye r illuminati members also say Rihanna, rick ross, alicia keys, lil wayne nd d rest 2 be members. If ts true, den we all listen 2 satanic music, nd r being possessed. Anyway the human mind will only believe wat it wants 2 believe. And Linda stop publishing all dese nonsense. Do u want fame 2?
If u really 1 2 c what's in d picture clearly, look straight at the picture while you dim your eye sight and u're going to see something come out at you clearly.
So true!!its just jealousy,pure and simple.they say a lot of rubbish but still listen to their songs and buy CDS.let them be,God will judge,hypocrites!!
I agree wit u PC,D entire image of d whole blur image looks like the skeleton head of a cow with horns,n datz d symbol of baphomet,d illuminati god,beyonce don fall my hand
you wan get time o
You wanna see plenty illumani for bee, just watch one of her stage performance of "run the world" where she used a lot of graphics at +h¬ background u will know this one na small tin abeg
Anon 7:57 Ȋ̝̊̅§ Ƨ̷̜̩̌̋o rite. Turn Į̸̸̨τ̲̅ upside down and see wat linda actually want U̶̲̥̅̊ to see ....hmmmmm

All this thin na wash joor
All this tin na wash joor
I'm seeing things (in Wizkid's voice)...... At least Illuminati is better than Boko Haram so kini bi deal
U need to look at it upside down and theen zoom to get the clear picture
What the hell is this! Eh linda ekeji -_-
Very true.... And d revelation is so scary. May God help his children among all tis agents of darkness!!! Tamara White....
Go get a job!
All I see is a sigil of occultic and resemblance plus the appearance of what seems to be a triangle. God help her if it is really true. thought she grew from a christian home
You only see what your eyes want to see
In dis technological age, some pples view of things r still so archaic!!!... I wonder if som of diz pple commentin eva heard of optical illusion/distortions n d sorts.... Dat aside, she sold her soul: were u dia during d selling? She is satanic: do U really belong to God?... If she is a lost cause, wat about u? I think most of us shld concentrate on reviewing our ow lives n were we r heading to. Cos it'll b a shame if som peepz end up in d same hell hole at last: she wit her stardom n fame, u wit ur penury n frustrationz! ... @swizy
Ur jus a bloody fool. Stfu dumb nicca. Wat has wealth got to do wid dis
@ Joanne Alex...well said...its all a personal race...run urs n leave odas 2 run dias...lobatan
hmmm...i think am seein an image of baphomet
baphomet, can see it clearly. no matter who she does or how well she promote devil's name, Jesus Christ is above them all.
Two things....showing cultism affiliation and the other is the clitoris and pudendum in the middle. Creative picture....I am sure you like to have that kind of clitoris Linda but as Kemi said, her clitoris is in one calabash in a babalowo's shrine. Maybe yours is in okija shrine. I can help you get it and seal it back to your pudendum.
Sharrap der! Lesbian partner ko! Attention seeker oshi!
U r a dummy! I hv nvr seen such stupidity! What u saw was pussy! Repent idiot
Want and wants, u can use any, so stfu
U r a spoilt pig
His? Na geh na!
Com'on are y'all so "full" with Illuminati rubbish? The picture, in the middle, clearly depicts the female vagina opening, on top of the opening is the clitoris and clitoral hood! LMAO! Take a good look people, its all Vagina, Some crazy pic!
U can only get a clear picture if u look@d pic upside down.OMG d sight is horrible.God protect ur children 4rm dis celeb.who ar gradually dranging us down with them.
Who told you......
Look who's ignorant. The joke is on u....
lolz we nigerians really need to wake up! unclock ur minds people, try to actually think for yourselves, not just what u are pounded with every sunday.
Its not publicity abeg its real. How come u see stuffs like dt on their videos like riri and gaga and miley and all of em. Nicki n co. Wen u lookclosely u wil see wot they do in d videos. So d baphomet is so real dear. Thats one of d reasons her father left her cz he was neva in support. Imagine a lovely family of d destinys child togeda, father mother n cgildren were happy until beyonce joined jayz and everytin ended. Father being a strong xtian didnt support but her mum supported her n soon after dt d parents seperated. Jayz says life starts wen d church ends" Jesus cannot save u". Google all der lyrics from "run d town, empire state of mind, beyoncez we run d world" she doesnt mean girls she meant "her" d goddess d diva running d world"... read bout dem n u wil see d truth.
Dear Old Baph...

I can’t say that his taste in wine always aligns with mine but I will say that the event he orchestrated and hosted was remarkable not only for its breadth and ambition but also for the marquee names that gathered for the two-day affair.
Bruna Giacosa, Giacomo Neri, Francesca Planeta, and Marco Caprai were just some of the celebrity Italian winemakers who came to New York to pour and talk about their wines. And there were many others…
I was in town to pour and speak about the wines of friend who couldn’t be there.
As a lover of Italian wines, I can only offer my greatest praise for James and this landmark event. The model is, of course, the Wine Spectator New York Wine Experience. And there are other annual NYC events, like the Gambero Rosso guide presentation, where scores of top Italian winemakers show their wines.
But, to my knowledge, there’s never been such an ambitious high-end, consumer event devoted exclusively to Italian wine: it cost roughly $200 to attend last night’s event and tickets to tonight’s dinner are $275.
I was also really impressed by the guests’ level of wine knowledge and many grilled me about vintage characteristics and growing sites.
Chapeau bas, James. The tasting set a new and higher bar for Italian wine in this country. An event like this would have been unimaginable in 1998, the year that the Italian wine renaissance began to take shape in this country.
Bruno Giacosa 2007 Barolo Le Rocche del Falletto (red label) was the wine I was most thrilled by, poured by Bruna herself!
Wow, what a wine… no one can rival the elegance that Bruno Giacosa achieves in his Barolo. And where so many 2007s are dominated by the power of their tannin (in part due to the odd winterless vintage in Langa), his already shows gorgeous balance (even at this early stage of its evolution).
I had tasted the wine at the winery back in 2010 when Bruno hadn’t yet decided whether he would make a red label for this designation. Tracie P and I were on our honeymoon and we tasted the Rocche del Falletto out of cask.
The other highlight was hearing Isabel Suckling, James’ daughter, rehearse for the performance she will give at tonight’s event.
She’s a truly electric performer and I’m looking forward to her main event at tonight’s dinner.
More New York Stories to come… Stay tuned… | <urn:uuid:db3caa88-7cec-4e69-be22-e1076a936da8> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | https://dobianchi.com/2013/05/09/james-suckling-tasting-new-york/ | 2016-05-04T08:01:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860122533.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161522-00210-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968234 | 554 | [

UPDATE: 12 Jurors Selected for Trial...
Clothes make the man and apparently the defendant.
The second day of jury selection in the Drew Peterson murder trial was delayed for about a half-hour after Peterson's lawyers said his pants were too small.
The former Bolingbrook police sergeant took about 15 minutes to get into new slacks provided for him, and court resumed around 9:30 a.m.
He showed up in a much more "fitting" pants and jacket before another set of potential jurors were vetted.
Eight jurors were chosen Monday, the first day of jury selection. Peterson has awaited trial in prison for three years after his arrest. He is charged in the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio. | <urn:uuid:b3aa6b92-688d-4557-b604-44027b0d182e> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/Change-of-Clothes-Delays-Drew-Peterson-Court-163563096.html | 2016-05-02T12:42:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461863599979.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428171319-00218-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989647 | 150 | [

Ailin wants to get married. She wants to have the perfect husband, the perfect house, the perfect life. While her grandmother discusses her betrothal to Hanwei, a boy of 7, Ailin runs around barefoot, pestering everyone. She hasn't had her feet bound yet. At dinner, there is talk of change in China. Hanwei is being sent to a public school, cloth is being made by machines, and women are wearing skirts, a foreign fashion. That night, Second Sister shows Ailin her bound feet, and Ailin vows to never ever get her feet bound. Many attempts are made, but Ailin resists them all.
Ailin is accepted at a public school and for the first time, she meets the “big Noses,” or the foreigners. She is especially gifted at languages and picks up English very quickly. However, when her father dies, Big uncle decides to stop her schooling. Miss Gilbertson, Ailin's English teacher, continues to give Ailin free tutoring sessions. Big uncle soon makes a decision about her future: she can marry a farmer, become a concubine, or spend the rest of her years at a nunnery. Miss Gilbertson helps Ailin by setting her up with the Warner family. Mr. and Mrs. Warner are missionaries and they need an amah, or nanny, who speaks English to watch over their children. She accepts their offer to become their amah, and moves in with them. Ailin, now Eileen, as she is called by foreigners, teaches their two children, Billy and Grace, and watches over them. After three years, the Warners are going to go back to San Francisco, and they invite Eileen to come with them. She accepts.
America is different than anything Eileen has ever imagined. Will she be able to adjust quickly enough? Will she ever be able to go back to China? Will she ever feel like she belongs?

We had one of those "This can't possible fail, we didn't change code anywhere near there!" unit test failures today while doing a full test suite run after spending the day on a story card. The failing test file hadn't been touched for a while, nor had the code it was testing. But when I ran the test file by hand, it passed. Uh oh.
Long, hard experience has shown that 98% of the time this happens, there's some obscure interaction that's been missed or forgotten, or some other test just happens to leave the system in just the right (wrong) state to expose some wacky interaction.
Then there's the other 2%.
It turns out that our test harness uses file to determine how to run an individual test file. (Most of our tests are in perl scripts; a small few are something else.) And a nightly automatic update had just upgraded the database that file uses. Now, if 0x200 bytes into a file the characters "MP" appear, file identifies the file as some Apple block file thing, regardless of whether the file starts with #!/usr/bin/perl. And on this one particular test script, 512 bytes into the file... | <urn:uuid:610288e7-a528-4a39-828f-435894b2ec7e> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://use.perl.org/use.perl.org/_dws/journal/24440.html | 2016-05-01T06:16:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860114285.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161514-00092-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.963874 | 247 | [

Birthday parties as a kid usually meant a day at the arcade. I can remember not being able to sleep the night before a friend’s party; the anticipation was too much. The old Atari 2600, sorry to say, just wasn’t the same as that dark, black-lit room, buzzing with lights and beeps and the bright marquees of our favorite video games. Unless you were as cool as Ricky Schroder (I’ve been dying to make a Silver Spoons reference), who literally had an arcade in his living room, you had to settle for the next best thing.
Marketed as ‘The arcade games you can take home with you,’ the Coleco Mini-Arcade tabletop series were probably the coolest of the hand held video games of the 80s. These arcade miniatures, first introduced in 1981, were by far the most realistic, portable gaming experience of their day. Ok, arguably, they weren’t that portable (hence the name tabletop), but they definitely had the look and feel of their larger originals. Re-creating the arcade experience represented the biggest challenge for home-based video games; in the early days, the technology we could experience at home was a bit crude. The closer the game was to the originals—we all remember dumping our hard earned quarters in at Chuck E. Cheese or that movie theater game room—the better.
For just under $60 (that’s about $152 in today’s money) you could own one of several of these gems, including Frogger, Donkey Kong, Pac Man, Ms. Pac Man, Galaxian and Zaxxon, and Donkey Kong Jr. (which looked a little different than the others – see below). What set these games apart from others at the time was the design—a smaller version of the original full-size arcade game. They not only had the look of a standup arcade game cabinet, but they had the side art, the marquee (unlit), and cool artwork on the glass of the multi-colored VFD display. They even had demo modes—all done to replicate the original.
The game that did the best job of representing the original was Galaxian; it really looks and sounds like the arcade version. Zaxxon was rather large and looked a little different than the others, mainly because it needed mirrors and two displays on the inside to achieve the infamous 3D effect for which the original was known.
Then there was Donkey Kong Jr. Coleco planned to make DK Jr. look like the others, but for whatever reason, they scrapped the idea. Instead, it was really just a re-branded version of Nintendo’s tabletop game and watch model, but with better artwork. The Donkey Kong Jr. game is the most challenging one to play. Because it uses a color LCD display, you need to have it under a light source (no playing in the dark when you were supposed to be asleep)—very different from the bright VFD displays of the other games.
In the 80s, these games were so popular that they occasionally made cameo appearances in movies and TV shows. In the movie Gremlins, there’s a scene when the evil Mogwai ‘Stripe’ is playing Donkey Kong. Pac Man made an appearance in both National Lampoon’s Vacation and an episode of Knight Rider (S1, E21, Nobody Does It Better).

There were many other tabletop-style games that came out later, but very few manufacturers went to the lengths that Coleco did to recreate the look and feel of the full-size originals (Q*Bert by Parker Brothers is one possible exception). These games are highly collectible today; finding one on eBay in pristine condition, and still in its original box, will set you back somewhere between $200 and $300. The memories though, are priceless. | <urn:uuid:9b00e78e-2b8c-49ef-8ec5-171cbd71f971> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.liketotally80s.com/2012/09/coleco-mini-arcade-tabletop-games/ | 2016-05-01T06:08:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860114285.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161514-00092-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.978004 | 826 | [

Oh no—here it comes.
After switching to a vegetarian diet over a year ago, I still sometimes find myself grasping at straws in an effort to explain my lifestyle choice to others. Some days, I find myself possessed with a certain measure of eloquence, and I’m able to field questions like a pro—feeling afterward like a worthy representative of vegans and vegetarians everywhere.
However, there are just as many days where I still find myself caught off guard by inquisitive minds. There is a tight line to tread between being informative and being preachy, and I can often find it tricky to navigate. However, whether you’ve been meatless all your life or are just beginning to discover the way of the veg’, I’ve compiled a list of questions you can expect—and how to handle them with grace!
Why did you decide to give up meat?
Of course, this question is highly personal to each individual—perhaps more personal than the asker may expect. For me, it was a combination of self-education (in the form of the documentary Food Inc. and the book “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer) and my lifelong aversion to most meat (ok, bacon was hard to say goodbye to, but the rest followed easily).
However, for just as many it could be an experience they had as a child (“Wait…is that Bessie on my plate?”) or something completely unrelated to animal welfare, such as a personal health concern. Either way, it’s best to have a concise response readily available, to be drawn forth on command.
I try to keep it short and sweet: “I learned more about the factory farming system and the way animals are treated within it, and I found that I really disagree with the way it currently operates.” For many people, this will suffice, and they may have no interest in hearing more. This is something I have learned to respect, and by keeping my answer short but impactful I can communicate my opinion without alienating them.
Don’t you miss meat?
This is usually asked between long, gnawing bites of a Reuben sandwich or the hot, wet slurp of ground-beef chili. Do I miss that? Yeah, sometimes. Would I partake in a sneaky bite if it was offered to me? No, thanks.
This, again, is a personal question that can only be left to the individual. For me, the great thing about living in the 21st century in a metropolitan city is that I don’t have to miss meat—meat substitutes are available at every turn, and I’m hard-pressed to find a restaurant without at least one vegetarian option.
However, I realize that for many, veggie options are scarcer. So be honest—if you miss meat, admit it—but avoid sounding deprived. Sure, the smell of a burger on a barbecue still sends my senses into a tizzy, but I’m able to say with conviction: “Yes, I miss it sometimes, but I’m also really satisfied with the way I eat now.”
What do you eat?
Well, just about anything I can get my hands on! The common misconception that we’re all familiar with is that vegetarians and vegans eat salad for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I once had a friend tell me, “I don’t know what to feed vegans. Crackers?” The thing is, just about any dish in the entire world can be modified to fit a vegan diet.
For a long time, I resisted my impulse to switch to vegetarianism not for personal reasons, but out of fear that I would inconvenience others at dinner parties or other social events. I didn’t want to be that person, the one who needs their own special dish to be prepared just so they can have something to eat. I pictured myself foraging for carrots in the fridge while everyone else tore into meaty goodness.
But I surprised myself with my discovery that this scenario is far from the truth. Bring your own dish to contribute to a party, and if you’re concerned about sticking out, make it something commonly vegetarian: lasagna, couscous, or soup, for example. And when faced with this question, feel free to respond with some of your favorite dishes. “Tofu stir-fry, veggie burgers, cinnamon-apple pie, grilled tempeh, black bean burritos, curried lentils...” Be sure to offer to cook for them sometime!
These three questions only graze the tip of the iceberg of potential questions you might be asked as a vegan or vegetarian—let’s face it, we are a bit of an oddity (in the best of ways!) and it’s natural for others to be curious about lifestyles that are different than their own. So rather than becoming exasperated or haughty, think of these moments as opportunities to show others how happy and excited you are with your diet. That’s what being vegan/vegetarian should be all about, after all!

“A powerful tale of courage and principle igniting sweeping social change, told by a strong-minded, uniquely qualified eyewitness ... the heroism of those who sat and marched ... comes through with vivid, inspiring clarity.” – Kirkus Reviews
Congressman John Lewis is an American icon, one of the key figures of the civil rights movement. His commitment to justice and non-violence has taken him from an Alabama sharecropper’s farm to the halls of Congress, from a segregated schoolroom to the 1963 March on Washington, and from receiving beatings from state troopers to receiving the Medal of Freedom from the first African-American president.
Now, to share his remarkable story with new generations, Lewis presents March, a graphic novel trilogy, in collaboration with co-writer Andrew Aydin and New York Times best-selling artist Nate Powell (winner of the Eisner Award and LA Times Book Prize finalist for Swallow Me Whole).
March is a vivid first-hand account of John Lewis’ lifelong struggle for civil and human rights, meditating in the modern age on the distance traveled since the days of Jim Crow and segregation. Rooted in Lewis’ personal story, it also reflects on the highs and lows of the broader civil rights movement.
Book One spans John Lewis’ youth in rural Alabama, his life-changing meeting with Martin Luther King Jr., the birth of the Nashville Student Movement, and their battle to tear down segregation through non-violent lunch counter sit-ins, building to a stunning climax on the steps of City Hall.
Many years ago, John Lewis and other student activists drew inspiration from the 1950s comic book Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story. Now, his own comics bring those days to life for a new audience, testifying to a movement whose echoes will be heard for generations.
“Congressman John Lewis has been a resounding moral voice in the quest for equality for more than 50 years, and I'm so pleased that he is sharing his memories of the Civil Rights Movement with America's young leaders. In March, he brings a whole new generation with him across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, from a past of clenched fists into a future of outstretched hands.” – President Bill Clinton
“Essential reading... March is a moving and important achievement. While it looks a little different than your average comic, it does tell the story of a true American superhero.” – USA Today

“March offers a poignant portrait of an iconic figure that both entertains and edifies, and deserves to be placed alongside other historical graphic memoirs like Persepolis and Maus.”
•Publishing trade magazine
“Superbly told history.”
The New York Times
•American daily newspaper
“Brave acts of civil disobedience... [give] March its educational value even as Powell's drawings give Lewis's crisp narration an emotional power.” | <urn:uuid:017a2ab3-0c51-4cf3-a842-c926b9e8dde1> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://store.sequential.cc/catalogue/book/march_book_one_by_lewis_aydin_powell/576 | 2016-05-04T17:18:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860123840.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161523-00100-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.92904 | 639 | [

I don't like cupcakes. I just don't see what all the hype is about, it's just a small cake. I don't really like cake either, now that I think about it. Pie, on the other hand, is pretty darn good. I would say I like pie.
I'm pretty strong, I could probably beat a gorilla or a bear in a fight. Probably. I dont know this for sure, but I've run enough scenarios in my mind to be pretty confident.
I like women.
I like to fly fish. Like, a lot.
I don't like cars with trailer hitches. It actually makes me pretty mad.
I think those toilet paper commercials with the bears are creepy. Bears should not be so open about what goes on in the bathroom.
I don't like it when hamburgers are referred to as a sandwich. I think they transcend that definition.
The gospel and the church are of the utmost importance to me. | <urn:uuid:c5830014-d8b8-4876-a4a0-075dd570f29d> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://www.ldssingles.com/view-profile.html?u=dbeck187 | 2016-05-04T17:31:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860123840.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161523-00100-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.980964 | 202 | [

Green-Door Leitrim – A Festival of Rural Architecture & Design
This event aims to showcase some of the amazing architecture and creativity that Leitrim has tucked away in its beautiful landscape. The Green-Door weekend is an opportunity for people from anywhere to come to Leitrim and have a fantastic weekend of architecture-based activities laid on for them. Around 30 homes/buildings will be open over the weekend to the public, some will be bookable, others on a first come first served basis, but all will be free. There will be tours by architects and designers such as Dominic Stevens, Gordon Ryan and Colin Bell and also by the self-builders and some material suppliers.
In addition, other architecture/building-led events as well as a children’s green building activity will take place. Green-Door Leitrim Weekend runs from 9-11th September. The event forms part of ‘Inspirational Homes Leitrim’ which was set up to document and make accessible the unique diverse built heritage that this distinctive county has tucked away in its landscape. Its aim is to facilitate the sharing of experiences, knowledge and skills amongst builders, homeowners, architects, self-builders and anyone with an interest in making sustainable the future of building in Ireland.

After work we headed to Da Noi in South Yarra for some Sardinian sunshine.
It's a small establishment on two levels, romantically lit by candles. It's a white tablecloth and dim lighting kind of place. Definitely a date place.
We headed up the rickety and narrow staircase to a table for two by the window facing out to the street.
Our waiter was charming and he looked after us well. We felt we were in good hands albeit somewhat eccentric! Some courses took a little while to arrive but never did we feel anything had gone awry or we had been forgotten...more reminded that Italy is about slow food so we should take the opportunity to slow down. We decided to go with non a la carte option and place ourselves in the hands of the chef having discussed with our waiter what to avoid. It was interesting to see that different tables received different dishes so it's not like the kitchen mass produces everything.
Our first warm dish came in the form of a fava bean soup with croutons and a flatbread with pork lard. It was hearty and comforting soup and incredibly delicious. Chewy meaty croutons and crispy flatbread. Yum!
Our pasta dish was tortellini with shitake mushrooms and a brown butter. Again simple flavours. A meaty filling, salty Parmesan and delicately thin al dente pasta made this a winning dish.
Main course was roast goat, garlic and rosemary and roast potatoes. So delicious and again so simple. This was served with a zingy tomato salad with radishes and rocket which provided a good acidic note to cut through the heaviness of the meaty chunks.
The chocolate mousse was like a Ferrero Rocher and had crunch and silkiness and chocolate and hazelnut in every mouthful. The semi freddo was a light as air but I'm not sure the flavour of it combined well with the chocolate slice.
Stand out dishes for us was the pasta, the soup, the fish and pickled veg. These were like the twinkling stars of the meal but no course was bad. We agreed we both preferred Da Noi over L'Osteria la Passione as it was more elegant and the service and ambience more confident and self assured. It isn't the cheapest but we left feeling extremely full and satisfied. We felt that we had tried so many different things and had eaten our way around Sardinia. We felt relaxed and revived and I guess this means it's worth it's price! | <urn:uuid:a5ed041e-f40b-403f-90dd-2519ed7fa3b7> | CC-MAIN-2016-18 | http://barleyblog.weebly.com/restaurant-reviews/da-noi | 2016-05-04T23:04:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-18/segments/1461860125524.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20160428161525-00212-ip-10-239-7-51.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981446 | 521 | [

What do you get when you combine a prototype hover vehicle similar to the Parrot AR Drone which can be flown with an iPad and sub-machinegun? Trigger-happy YouTuber FPS Russia recently posted a video showing us just exactly what --"Sharlene". Sharlene can fly through tight spaces, and even blow itself up on command. The quad-rotor prototype includes a 100 round magazine, can fly 30 MPH, reach altitudes of over 1000 feet, and self-destruct with a 15-foot blast radius. Or that's the premise, anyway. It's more than likely that this is all fancy CG work, since the video was sponsored by the fine folks at Call of Duty, who have a game being announced on May 1 likely called Tacitus.
Even if it's fake, the U.S. Military is knee-deep into significant iOS usage. Not too long ago, the Army launched a web app store for iOS and Android, and even two years ago snipers were using iPhone apps to calculate trajectories. Even if the military has their own proprietary flying gun drones available, I imagine it would be a lot cheaper to have troops on the ground kitted out with iPhones than expensive custom-built consoles. FPS Russia says that because it's a prototype, we wouldn't see this thing for another decade; even if it's all smoke and mirrors, do you think we'll see gadgets like this on the battlefield within the next ten years?
As for Call of Duty renting out a hugely-popular YouTube channel so that they can sneakily promote a new game, that's just smart marketing. They really couldn't have picked a better web personality to team up with. Any Call of Duty fans eager to give this drone a try in the upcoming game? It sure would be interesting if the game used an iPad too...

Back in December 1984, I went to my first U2 show at Detroit’s Fox Theater. The first leg of the Unforgettable Fire tour, it was the band’s last set of “intimate” shows before graduating to arenas and stadiums. After the gig, I was that 17-year-old hardcore fan who waited dutifully in the Detroit winter weather by the backstage door. Eventually our patience paid off, and we met everyone in the band except for Larry.
The most memorable moment from that night aside from the concert itself was asking Bono for a hug and Bono generously sharing it. Friday, I wished I could give Bono another hug. Friday, the man born Paul Hewson turns 53.
Another U2 album finally appears eventual or inevitable, perhaps by the end of this year. At this late stage in their career, each record could be the last. And each record could tarnish with dismissal or disdain or varnish with more adulation and praise their creative reputation. But see, this fan kind of needs a new U2 record just about now to distract me from the rest of the U2 newsfeed.
Bono was all over the interwebs Friday. Even as the Twitter and Facebook feeds were filled with birthday blessings from fans and charitable groups like (Red) or the African Well Fund, other sources like Google news alerts blew-up with the latest phase in Bono backlash. Because Dave Marsh reviews Harry Browne’s forthcoming book The Frontman. As we know this leftish Springsteen scholar Marsh has devoted decades of an entire career tangent to tagging Bono with the online rhetorical graffiti of gritty shame and righteous blame.
But Marsh’s latest screed on Counterpunch counters the viciousness of his previous attacks with a tone of pity. Bono is no longer an object of scathing leftwing critique but an object for a softer but no less mean-spirited ridicule. Marsh feigns feeling sorry for Bono and calls him pathetic. For not knowing any better. For being a tool and a fool. We’ll have to see how this new lesser-evil Bono-hate all fits with Browne’s book when it is actually released soon. Besides Marsh, also cluttering my newsfeeds was yet another article articulating the band’s problematic tax practices and a blog responding to Marsh, neither agreeing with him or taking him on.
As U2 fans, we have a choice whether to engage with criticism like this. Some choose to ignore it; others take a defensive stance. My perspective has always been one taken from Bono’s lyrical playbook: “stand up to rock stars.” Or put another way, practice critical fandom. Despite what others say, he’s neither saint nor messiah and is worthy of constructive pushback, especially if it comes from a good place. I definitely don’t see Bono as an uber-capitalist “lapdog for neoliberals” as he’s been called, and at the same time, I don’t think we need to be lapdogs or sycophants for Bono or U2.
At the recent U2 conference, Laurie Britt-Smith and I and some of our co-presenters engaged in a critical dialogue about some of the queasy reservations we have about digital activism, capitalist charity, and how these apply to the ONE campaign and product (RED). We hardly reached conclusions or consensus, but in light of those conversations and these recent attacks on Bono’s political and economic perspectives, I have some tentative shots into the ongoing online conversation I’d like to launch.
Bono is not and has never been a leftist in the sense that Marsh, Browne, or the editors of Counterpunch are. Moreover he’s not and probably will never be a rightist as some critics have complained. Is he an intellectually weak, foolish, and hypocritical liberal as is also proposed?
I don’t know how I feel about liberalism or capitalism beyond the degree to which I participate in both by necessity. But I do know what I perceive as the source of my activism and Bono’s: Jesus and the Bible; spirituality and scripture; the new commandments of radical love and service taught by the carpenter from Nazareth. What’s been called the preferential option for the poor. Bono’s lack of economic literacy, or worse, allegiance to wrong-headed economic mentors, may make me and others uncomfortable and may play into the hands of the problem-creators rather than the problem-solvers, yet Bono’s Biblical, musical, and poetic literacy remain on target in my eyes and heart.
In 2005 just after How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, as much as I loved that record and the subsequent Vertigo tour, part of me wanted to give up on Bono for his self-imposed public silence on the Iraq War, for hanging so intimately with people like George Bush and my then least favorite Tennessean Bill Frist. That year, I picked up Bono: In Conversation with Michka Assayas. Not only does the front man answer all his critics in a nuanced manner, he diminishes and self-deprecates his own significance. The alleged egomaniac also has a streak of deep and deferential humility.
But more than that, he speaks ever so elegantly and evangelically about his faith in Jesus and how Christian religious perspective, spiritual practice, and central Gospel narrative inform everything he does. Like Bono, I am no economist, but also like Bono, I take seriously the Biblical teachings about poverty and justice.
Sometimes it’s hard for me to see Jesus in the (RED) campaign, but Bono’s willingness to work with Bush, Clinton, Obama, Gates, Sachs, and others comes from statements like this, that he attributes to lessons he learned from Martin King: “Don’t respond to caricature — the Left, the Right, the Progressives, the Reactionary. Don’t take people on rumor. Find the light in them . . .”
It’s hard to understate the light that Bono and U2 have given us with songs and albums and concert tours. But Bono also reminds us that there’s some of that God light in people as different as Bill Frist is from Dave Marsh and in people from other faith traditions, as his COEXIST bit on the Vertigo tour so strongly stated.
The odd rivalry between Marsh and Bono, according to the critic, began with a mediocre review of The Unforgettable Fire. Marsh claims to have given Bono a book about Elvis because Marsh didn’t get “Elvis Presley and America.” As I listen to that deep track off Unforgettable Fire for the umpteenth time, I don’t know that I get it either, but I get what it does to me: how it gets me, how it’s music that takes me outside the music, that gives me knowledge more than ideas, connection more than critique, grace more than karma.
I don’t mind standing up to rock stars. But I don’t mind standing up to grumpy rock critics with an axe to grind either. But I’d rather not stand up to anybody and instead look for the light within, for the Christ within all. And I’d like to give Bono this virtual hug for his birthday. Fact is I’d like to give Dave Marsh one, too. They both probably need a hug more than either would admit.

Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Parent Review
Even when tempted by their deepest, darkest desires, it doesn't seem to require much effort. Still this adaptation of C.S. Lewis' story embraces many positive elements from the previous Narnia films.
Much has changed for the Pevensie siblings since they last visited Narnia. (Unlike the students at Hogwarts School of Magic in Harry Potter, it only takes these English youths three movies to grow up instead of eight.) Peter (William Moseley) and Susan (Anna Popplewell) have been shipped to America to live with their father. Lucy (Georgie Henley) and Edmund (Skandar Keynes) are still in war torn Europe, boarding with their aunt, uncle and a caustic-mouthed cousin Eustace Scrubb (Will Poulter). Tormented by their spiteful younger relative, the teens are also plagued with adolescent angst.
After being crowned High King of Narnia, Edmund struggles with the demotion to a common English schoolboy who has to carry groceries home from the market. Constantly taunted by his cousin, he wants to be recognized as the powerful royal he is. Meanwhile Lucy battles with her self-image. Jealous of her older sister’s beauty, she yearns for physical attractiveness rather than focusing on her own natural talents. Both long for better days.
Then one afternoon Lucy notices a ship has appeared in a painting hanging in an upstairs bedroom. While Edmund and Eustace exchange insults, she discovers water leaking out of the frame. Within minutes the room fills with seawater and the trio finds themselves swimming up through the warm, sun-kissed ocean to Narnia where they are hauled aboard the ship the Dawn Treader.
On board is King Caspian (Ben Barnes)—formerly known as Prince Caspian in the second installment of the Chronicles of Narnia. Initially the group is unsure why Lucy and Edmund have been summoned to the magical kingdom. Then they meet the magician Corakin (Bille Brown). He tells them of a growing evil and reveals the secret of the seven swords that will destroy it. Unfortunately to protect the weapons from falling into the wrong hands, Caspian’s father gave the blades to seven of his lords. To ensure peace in the territory, Caspian, Lucy and Edmund must find the hidden rapiers and lay them on the table of Aslan (voice by Liam Neeson).
Thrust into a quest that often involves weapons, hand-to-hand combat and perilous situations, the friends set sail with the ship’s captain (Gary Sweet) and crew. Along the way they encounter the usual type of mythical suspects—one legged dwarves, gigantic sea monsters, translucent mermaids and a mysterious green mist that creeps over the water, enveloping and vaporizing any unlucky sea goers it happens upon. But while it took Odysseus a decade to sail home in the epic poem The Odyssey, these young Narnians take only minutes to swoop in, scoop up a missing sword and hit the waves for their next exploit. Unfortunately, the speed with which they achieve their goals allows for very little character development, emotional performances or climatic tension. Even when tempted by their deepest, darkest desires, it doesn’t seem to require much effort to resist the lure of their siren songs.
Still this adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ story embraces many positive elements from the previous Narnia films. Elaborate, mythical settings serve as the backdrop for the adventure where talking animals (voices by Shane Rangi, Simon Pegg) and a fire breathing dragon play a part in the success of the dangerous journey. Overcoming temptations and quelling unworthy impulses, each of the characters learns to better understand their capabilities and individual missions in life.
And just as their seafaring trip to the edge of the known world helps chart new sailing courses, Lucy and Edmund’s willingness to push the limits of their own fears lets them discover their true regal qualities.Directed by Michael Apted. Starring Ben Barnes, Skandar Keynes, Georgie Henley, Will Poulter. Running time: 114 minutes. Theatrical release December 10, 2010. Updated July 21, 2016

Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Parents Guide
How does learning to control appetites and emotions contribute to growing up? Like the sea serpent in this movie, how can our fears sometimes grow out of control?
How does Lucy and Edmund’s obsession with things they think they don’t have (i.e. power and physical beauty), hamper their own success? How does it keep them from developing their own talents?
Walden Media, the co-producer of the Narnia movies, has brought other family friendly titles to the big screen. Michael Flaherty, the company’s founder, explains the goals of the studio in a speech presented to students and aspiring filmmakers at a US university.
Even after finding himself in a strange land, Eustace continues to be obnoxious. How realistic is this portrayal? What other reactions might someone have when suddenly exposed to a new and frightening experience? | <urn:uuid:68da9d04-f7ae-4bac-aa17-605e69dbb4f0> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://parentpreviews.com/movie-reviews/review/chronicles-of-narnia-the-voyage-of-the-dawn-treader | 2017-05-22T17:30:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463605485.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20170522171016-20170522191016-00113.warc.gz | en | 0.942799 | 1,122 | [

Looking at what’s expected for Nokia World this year, we singled-out two Windows Phone handsets we hoped to hear announced. It’s now looking more and more likely that both will be featured, with the pair showing up in a new set of pics that might just nail-down their names for once.
It was starting to seem likely that, of all the names we’ve heard associated with it, the Nokia 800 would end up as the Lumia. According to these new pics, both the 800 and what we know as the Sabre will share the Lumia name, arriving as the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710.
With less than 24 hours to go until Nokia World event where the Finnish company is expected to unveil “a bunch” of Windows Phones — according to Steve Ballmer — new images of the upcoming Nokia 800 have surfaced.
As you can see, it is basically the twin brother of the Nokia N9, with an added button on the side for the camera shutter and a relocated flash on top of the camera, instead of its left side. The version pictured is the pink one out of the total three colors available (with black and cyan also in the package).
Meanwhile German carriers are [...]
The Nokia Lumia name first popped up on game stats at the beginning of the month and now again in the EXIF data of a couple of pictures found online on Flickr.
Before you get too excited, the photographs have been already removed by their respective uploaders but, according to the EXIF data pictured above, the phone used was a Nokia 800. We’ve already see press shots of the Nokia 800 codenamed SeaRay and it is possible that the official model name for the phone will be Lumia.
The EXIF data speaks of an f/2.2 camera on the Nokia 800. Nokia N9 has a camera with the [...]
Three days to go until Nokia’s World event starts on October 26, 2011. The eyes of the world are once again on Espoo as it will show off “a bunch” of Windows Phones according to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
The Nokia 800 dubbed SeaRay should definitely be among the phones to be unveiled and, after seeing official press renders and even ads, we now get the chance to see a TV commercial. To be quite fair, it’s not a commercial but a teaser where you can see the colored tiles featured in the ads, the N9-like casing but if you look close you’ll see the [...]
We all know what the Nokia SeaRay is back from the day Stephen Elop himself showed the device off in that “super-secret” video. From the looks of the phone, it appears to be the Nokia N9‘s twin brother, running Windows Phone instead of MeeGo.
If the image above is legit then those in Germany will most probably be able to grab the SeaRay from T-Mobile Deutschland. There was another image recently showing off some Nokia Windows Phone from the same carrier and today’s snapshot appears to be the original render which was pictured previously. Only question [...]
When is Nokia’s Sea Ray WP7 smartphone going to finally arrive? We looked into some of the latest news and rumors surrounding the handset’s release earlier this month, and at that point it seemed like we’d see a limited European release before the end of the year, with wider global distribution following in 2012. Now we’ve run across a new rumor that says we might have to wait until 2012 for even the European release of the Sea Ray.
The Street’s Scott Moritz presents this as an unconfirmed rumor from an unnamed source, citing delays in the [...]
As Nokia prepares for the launch of its first Windows Phone, it also appears to be gearing up for a refreshed retail presence, and with this refresh comes the first concrete evidence that the handset will be dubbed the Nokia 800.
While that name certainly falls in line with previous rumors, we also recently saw the company soliciting suggestions for a potential US branding of “Sea Ray“; like the Astound and the D.O.A. Journey, the company’s WP7 handsets may be in store for different domestic and international monikers. At least globally, “800” [...]
We all know and expect the Nokia SeaRay Windows Phone to hit the market already and bring us some Finnish hardware goodness along with the sweet juice of Mango but what else does Nokia have up in its sleeve? We know the SeaRay is only one of Nokia’s prototypes and plans for Windows Phone and today we can see some more.
Here’s the story: the video below is an alleged “Nokia-Microsoft” video MyNokiaBlog received from a tipster using an ovi.com e-mail address but claiming to be from Microsoft. It appears to be a mix of two videos: one showing off some (so [...]
Nokia’s shares as well as word-of-mouth reputation has been a real rollercoaster lately and even more recently after its February announcement of abandoning Symbian and turning to Windows Phone, as part of the strategic alliance with Microsoft.
According to recent reports, the Finnish phone maker is preparing a major global integrated campaign for October, the time when it is expected to launch its first ever Windows Phone. The campaign will be spanning out to six months and, with the invested £80 million (around $129 million) is expected to bring Espoo back on [...]
After seeing the picture of the Nokia SeaRay with on-screen soft buttons instead of the hardware physical buttons for Back, Start and Search, we’ve speculated that it might be something either Nokia or Microsoft brings to the table with Mango.
Eldar Murtazin tweeted that “according to design guideline there no need to put hardware buttons on front”. He might know something the rest of us don’t already know. Nokia had to use up the spare 54 pixels between FWVGA and WVGA to emulate the buttons as the Sea Ray is basically the N9.
On the other hand, [...]
Nokia recently launched the MeeGo powered N9 which is advertised to be the first “pure-touch” smartphone but Stephen Elop allegedly also showed off the Finnish manufacturer’s first Windows Phone.
Technet.hu claims to have received an email containing a video of a secret meeting between Elop and Nokia employees — though the video hasn’t been published. In the aforementioned video — images are purportedly frames from it — Elop is said to have showed off a smartphone which resembles the N9 but which was running Windows Phone.
At the [...]
We’ve seen Nokia’s Mango-running Sea Ray smartphone in action, initially on N9 hardware before appearing on something more customized towards Windows Phone 7. Now that August is here, we’re closer than ever to seeing the release of Mango handsets, what with the official announcement of the Fujitsu-Toshiba IS12T. When is Nokia going to step up to the plate and formally launch the Sea Ray? Invitations to a joint Microsoft/Nokia event suggest that the date could we could be finding out by August 17.
As part of this party, which will help kick-off the gamescom [...]
You definitely heard about the Nokia Sea Ray, one of Nokia’s alleged existing Windows Phones, the one that Stephen Elop himself showed off recently to a small audience of Nokia peeps. It’s a modified Nokia N9 which seems to be running Windows Phone just fine!
If you are a fan of the smartphone or just want to spice up your Windows Phone Emulator experience, there’s a Nokia Sea Ray emulator skin you can download and use. After applying, the emulator will look just as if you’d be working on a Nokia Sea Ray. The skin is available in both portrait and [...]
Nokia Sea Ray should ring a bell ever since Stephen Elop himself showed off the manufacturer’s first Windows Phone around a month ago. We then saw a picture of the phone running Windows Phone and cleverly using up the spare screen real estate to compensate for the lack of buttons. It’s not the case as it turns out.
In the video below you can see the Nokia Sea Ray again, with its four buttons on the right side (volume up, volume down, power and dedicated camera buttons), charging plus synching port and a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top. Even more, the prototype is [...]
Here’s a picture of the Nokia SeaRay we’ve seen showed off by Stephen Elop himself yesterday, the first Windows Phone to come out of Nokia. It is based on the Nokia N9 with some modifications but many noticed that the smartphone doesn’t have any buttons on the front.
As you may very well know, Windows Phone requires obligatory Back, Start, Search and Camera buttons as part of the system reqs. While the SeaRay sports a dedicated camera button in addition to the N9, it doesn’t have any buttons on the front. At least not hardware.
If the image above [...]
If you’ve been online anywhere yesterday you definitely heard about the “leaked” “confidential” video where Stephen Elop himself shows off Nokia’s first Windows Phone called Sea Ray. Think of it as the recently launched MeeGo-powered Nokia N9 running the Redmond platform with a few design and functionality retouches.
Based on the Nokia N9 official renders — and the changes Nokia had to make in order to make it a Windows Phone, like the dedicated hardware camera button — come the unofficial Nokia Sea Ray mock-ups. What we do know in [...]
The Nokia SeaRay is the first Windows Phone made by the company that was shown off by Stephen Elop himself. At that time, it was a Nokia N9 with a Windows Phone port but later it appears that the manufacturer has adapted the phone in order to suit Redmond’s platform better.
The Nokia SeaRay clocked 1211kbps in dslreport’s mobile speed test and, as you can see in the screenshot above, it was running on AT&T (judging by the mycingular.net domain). The user agent reported is Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows Phone OS 7.5; Trident/5.0; IEMobile/9.0; Nokia; [...] | <urn:uuid:f8b03688-7b8a-46ef-b392-05541ca96af4> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://pocketnow.com/tag/sea-ray?wpmp_switcher=mobile | 2017-05-22T17:28:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463605485.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20170522171016-20170522191016-00113.warc.gz | en | 0.941388 | 2,203 | [

I ran this past Mirror Handcuff expert Mick Hanzlik who says the actor is actually holding a Mirror replica made by collector Ian McColl. McColl provided handcuffs and restraints for the 1998 production. (You can read all about the various Mirror Handcuff replicas HERE.)
Despite this photo, the Mirror Handcuff Challenge was not in the 1998 TNT film. In fact, no biopic has yet dramatized this challenge. Might we finally see the Mirror Challenge in HISTORY's new Houdini biopic starring Adrien Brody?

Cave Creek Chilli Beer Manufacturer: Cave creek ABV: 4.2%
Appearance is a darkish yellow, with a strong chili vegetal aroma with a faint malty sweetness underneath. The pepper is definitely serrano rather than jalapeņo. The chili flavor is upfront with a fair amount of sweet pilsner malt and no real hop presence. Mouthfeel is a tad thin, but the drinkability is quite good if you're looking for clean, spicy beer that pairs well with food. | <urn:uuid:0142e83e-418a-474c-8bf4-e5cf9aff1e7d> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://brewersoutlet202.com/index.cgi?do=products&manufacturerID=293 | 2017-05-24T17:44:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607849.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524173007-20170524193007-00138.warc.gz | en | 0.928612 | 104 | [

Is it not cool to look like James Bond and attack every problem coming to us at runtime ? My answer is, it does not take us too far if we are not using the manuals for the tools we use unless it is extremely simple like a hammer and has only two steps to use it.
I some times wonder that if search engines had made people lazy to learn something from the grass roots up. This is not just an one off observation, I have known developers who thrive on search engines for everything from silly to complex ones. Of course, the search engines made a huge repository easily accessible to us; but not everything can be solved using them. If any one argues that they can get lots done just by intuition, analysis and net search then; why not we have technological marvels built by almost everyone.
We should not shy away from understanding the details or referring the manuals (It is not cool to act like James Bond). Only with a strong understanding of foundations we could go very far or tackle difficult situations with ease. | <urn:uuid:17423697-d85e-4217-ad09-3d84ed29f32d> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://vinodkumaar.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/james-bond-doesnt-need-manuals/ | 2017-05-26T20:47:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608684.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20170526203511-20170526223511-00028.warc.gz | en | 0.952864 | 207 | [

CCS Mock Exam with Coaching Session by Renowned CCS Instructor Mary Beth York Now Available
Program helps coders prepare for CCS before ICD-9-based exam changes this April
The current ICD-9-based exam is slated to end April 7, 2014, when the CCS exam becomes ICD-10-CM/PCS-
The CCS Mock Exam with Personal Coaching Session tests one’s acute hospital coding skills with a proprietary practice exam that closely resembles the actual CCS exam, followed by a one-on-one consultation with renowned CCS instructor Mary Beth York. This gives coders a feel for how the CCS exam is conducted, and also helps them to determine their strengths and weaknesses so they can appropriately prepare to take the exam before April.
“The CCS credential is a great achievement, as it demonstrates mastery of acute care hospital coding,” said Mary Beth York. “But passing the CCS exam is not easy; even experienced coders have difficulty passing. There is no substitute for hard study. However, proper guidance can make one’s studies more focused and productive. It is this kind of guidance that the coaching session offers.”
York, who has mentored hundreds of students to CCS success, added, “While many mock CCS exams are available, finding one that is really helpful is difficult. In Libman Education’s Intensive CCS Exam Prep course, hundreds of students have used this particular exam to successfully prepare for CCS. And, while April is almost here, there is still some time remaining to take it.”
The CCS Mock Exam includes both a multiple-choice section with 89 questions, and a fill-in-the-
After students finish the exam, it is graded and analyzed. Then begins the one-hour Personal Coaching Session, where Mary Beth York offers helpful tips and suggests test-taking techniques. York also identifies areas that need more study, and discusses preparation strategies for exam success.

Trivandrum: Bolstered by the overwhelming response to its She Taxi project for women travellers, the Gender Park in Kerala is planning to integrate car pooling system into the service which is set to expand from a fleet of five cars to 25 by New Year.
She Taxi is the first off-campus project by the Gender Park which is an institution newly established under the Department of Social Justice, Government of Kerala, to work towards gender equity.
Since its launch last month, the service has seen tremendous response from the public, especially travelling women and women entrepreneurs wanting to operate their own taxis, said P T M Sunish, CEO of Gender Park. Within the first 15 days the She Taxis carried around 100 passengers. The taxis were also employed full time during the recently concluded week-long 18th International Film Festival of Kerala to transport delegates and guests.
“We have facilitated 10 more vehicle bookings and are processing more applications received from women entrepreneurs. By the start of the new year we expect to have at least 20 more taxis in addition to the five that are currently fully equipped and operational,” he added.
The Gender Park now plans to roll out taxi pooling system through She Taxi for women commuters, especially those travelling long distances. The new service targets professionals and students who travel to the city everyday from the suburbs and outskirts.
“Car pooling, as we know, is a very cost effective and eco-friendly mode of travel and we want to encourage women commuters coming from the same area to use She Taxis for the purpose,” Sunish said. “A taxi pool will cost less than the autorickshaw fare for the same distance and they can travel in safety and the comfort of an air-conditioned sedan.”
Registrations for taxi pooling can be done through the call centre at 85900 00543. The routes and timings will be introduced depending on the registrations.
Women travelling alone or with families can dial the customer care centre which will provide them with a Unique Identification Code and the vehicle number on their mobile phones. All cabs are metered and have an electronic payment system allowing the user to pay using credit or debit cards or cash.

Continuing with its SPARC open-source program, Sun Microsystems has made available the RTL (Register Transfer Level) processor designs for the UltraSPARC T2 processor.
"The intent is to build an ecosystem around the platform," Fadi Azhari, director of marketing in the Sun Microelectronics Group told InternetNews.com. "UltraSPARC is fairly radical in processing technology. Chip multithreading requires a new paradigm and developer sets. What we did was we targeted this program so developers, academic institutions, or companies can use it to understand the inner working of the chip to optimize tools and their operating environment."
Open-sourcing processor designs has been well-termed as a "seeding" process to create communities of developers to optimize applications that are developed for the processor.
As part of the the academic initiative, Sun has also recognized five U.S. universities as "OpenSPARC Centers of Excellence." These universities include: University of California, Santa Cruz; University of Texas, Austin; University of Michigan; University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign; and Carnegie Mellon University.
Sun appears to be following in the foot steps of IBM, which first open-sourced its Power Architecture at Power.org.

“How do you do, sir!—no! that can’t be the house,” stammered Braintop, with a very earnest scrutiny.
“What house? what do you want?” enquired Wilfrid.
“Jenkinson,” was the name that won the honour of rescuing Braintop from this dilemma.
“No; it is Lady Gosstre’s house: Miss Belloni is living there; and stop: you know her. Just wait, and take in two or three words from me, and notice particularly how she is looking, and the dress she wears. You can say—say that Mrs. Chump sent you to enquire after Miss Belloni’s health.”
Wilfrid tore a leaf from his pocket-book, and wrote:
“I can be free to-morrow. One word! I shall expect it, with your name in full.”
But even in the red heat of passion his born diplomacy withheld his own signature. It was not difficult to override Braintop’s scruples about presenting himself, and Wilfrid paced a sentinel measure awaiting the reply. “Free to-morrow,” he repeated, with a glance at his watch under a lamp: and thus he soliloquized: “What a time that fellow is! Yes, I can be free to-morrow if I will. I wonder what the deuce Gambier had to do in Monmouthshire. If he has been playing with my sister’s reputation, he shall have short shrift. That fellow Braintop sees her now—my little Emilia! my bird! She won’t have changed her dress till she has dined. If she changes it before she goes out—by Jove, if she wears it to-night before all those people, that’ll mean ‘Good-bye’ to me: ‘Addio, caro,’ as those olive women say, with their damned cold languor, when they have given you up. She’s not one of them! Good God! she came into the room looking like a little Empress. I’ll swear her hand trembled when I went, though! My sisters shall see her in that dress. She must have a clever lady’s maid to have done that knot to her back hair. She’s getting as full of art as any of them—Oh! lovely little darling! And when she smiles and holds out her hand! What is it—what is it about her? Her upper lip isn’t perfectly cut, there’s some fault with her nose, but I never saw such a mouth, or such a face. ‘Free to-morrow?’ Good God! she’ll think I mean I’m free to take a walk!”
At this view of the ghastly shortcoming of his letter as regards distinctness, and the prosaic misinterpretation it was open to, Wilfrid called his inventive wits to aid, and ran swiftly to the end of the street. He had become—as like unto a lunatic as resemblance can approach identity. Commanding the length of the pavement for an instant, to be sure that no Braintop was in sight, he ran down a lateral street, but the stationer’s shop he was in search of beamed nowhere visible for him, and he returned at the same pace to experience despair at the thought that he might have missed Braintop issuing forth, for whom he scoured the immediate neighbourhood, and overhauled not a few quiet gentlemen of all ages. “An envelope!” That was the object of his | <urn:uuid:164faa8a-3d8f-4ab8-9937-600a00fa090d> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.bookrags.com/ebooks/4420/312.html | 2017-05-29T08:35:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612036.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529072631-20170529092631-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.978105 | 789 | [

Jack Cassel helped himself with the stick on Wednesday night. While he had one hit in 13 at bats coming into the game – that lone hit was a homer. He added to the mystique with a bases clearing double to cap a five-run fourth inning. The right-hander was on the hook for four runs, one earned, on eight hits over seven innings. He walked three and struck out five while also uncorking a wild pitch. It is the seventh time in 13 starts he has allowed two earned or less.
For the fifth time in six games, Pete Laforest lofted a pitch over the fence – and he did it twice. He hit a two-run homer in the second inning and added a two-run blast in the eighth to give him 11 RBIs over his last six games. He has also scored a run in six straight contests. He leads the league in homers per at bats in the PCL, going yard once every 8.93 at bats. His 16 homers are tied for fifth-best in the league and it is the third time he has homered twice in a game.
Frank Brooks worked two scoreless to finish off the game, allowing one hit and striking out one. The left-hander has allowed one run over 8.2 innings since joining Portland and has given up runs in five of his 24 appearances over two leagues. After walking two in 22.1 Double-A innings, Brooks has issued a free pass to seven in seven outings.
San Antonio lost 4-3 to Corpus Christi (Astros)
For the fourth straight game since coming off the disabled list, Brett Bonvechio went yard, hitting a solo homer in the fourth inning. He also scored all three Missions runs, adding a single and a walk over four plate appearances. All of his homers have been solo shots. He had homered in two straight games four times in his career but never had surpassed that mark until his recent stretch of games.
Sean Thompson allowed three hits but two would come around to score in six innings of work. The lefty allowed a leadoff triple in the second and a single in the fourth with that run aided by a Thompson wild pitch. The southpaw also walked one and struck out four. Thompson has given up five earned runs over his last three starts and has yielded two runs or less in eight of his 15 starts. It was also the fifth time he has walked just one batter in a game with all his other starts resulting in two or more.
Neil Jamison took the loss, seeing his record drop to 2-4. He allowed two runs, one earned, on three hits in an inning of work. It was just the fifth time this year he has appeared before the eighth or ninth inning in a game this season and he had not allowed an earned run until Wednesday. Jamison has given up runs in 10 of his last 16 outings and has not worked two scoreless outings in a row since April 28-29.
Lake Elsinore had a scheduled day off
Fort Wayne had a scheduled day off
Eugene won 11-1 to Spokane (Rangers)
Ray Stokes cracked two doubles, singled, walked once, and drove in four runs. He also stole third base in the third but was caught trying to swipe second in the sixth. Over 32 games last year, Stokes had three doubles all year and never had more than two RBIs in any game. Stokes hit .186 over 11 games with Eugene in 2006, collecting eight hits in 43 at bats. He saw action in 21 games for the AZL Padres, hitting .254 with 15 hits in 59 at bats.
A 27th-round pick by the Padres, Zachary Brown collected the Ems first homer of the year, hitting a solo blast in the fourth inning. He also hit the second homer of the year, sending an eighth inning pitch over the wall for his second solo homer of the game, starting a five-run explosion. Brown was a first team All-Southern Conference selection and led The Citadel with 69 runs scored, 21 doubles and 38 walks. He was second on the team in batting average (.353), home runs (13), total bases (148) and slugging percentage (.622).
John Hussey faced his struggles with the Fort Wayne Wizards. Over six starts, the right-hander touted an 0-5 mark and a 7.50 ERA, allowing four runs or more in three of his starts and walking 20 while giving up 25 hits over 24 innings. On Wednesday with Eugene, Hussey was back to 2006 form. He blanked the opposition for five innings, scattering six hits and walking one while striking out five to pick up his first win of the year.

The body of Ari Ross Kingan (21) was recovered by a Wanaka LandSAR team and police yesterday morning.
Mr Kingan, formerly of Golden Bay and Dunedin and most recently the West Coast, was descending after climbing the south face of the mountain, one of his ''great goals'', fellow member of the New Zealand Alpine team, Dan Joll, said.
Mr Kingan was a ''nice young guy, a good person to be around. We are going to miss him.
"We are feeling for his family ... his brother and his mum and dad, and also ourselves because he was one of our mates.''
Mr Joll noted Mr Kingan, whom he saw in Queenstown last week, was not an extreme risk taker but a ''sensible young guy''.
Mr Kingan and another team member - a 20-year-old University of Otago second-year physics student - had completed the climb, having earlier set off from French Ridge Hut, about 2am on Sunday.
During the night, the pair descended part of the northwest ridge, and began down The Ramp when it seems a change from powder snow to ice caught Mr Kingan, who was in the front, by surprise.
He lost his footing and plunged hundreds of metres.
''It is a tragedy that his life should be taken when their climb was almost over,'' Mr Joll said, and it was a sad reminder to all mountaineers that ''the summit is only halfway - all too often accidents occur during descent''.
The Ramp was notoriously treacherous.
Two climbers died in one incident in 2004 and two in separate accidents in January 2005.
Mr Kingan became a member of the New Zealand Alpine team last year.
His profile on their website said he was ''keen to tick off New Zealand's biggest peaks by the end of the year''.
He was also a keen mountain-bike rider and was studying outdoor instruction and guiding.
Senior Sergeant Allan Grindell, of Wanaka, said the body was recovered yesterday morning.
Mr Kingan's companion, who was unharmed, was rescued by Southern Lakes Helicopters the previous night.
The company's rescue helicopter was called in by the Rescue Co-ordination Centre responding to an emergency locator beacon set off at 8.48pm.
Operations manager Lloyd Matheson told the Otago Daily Times yesterday although the beacon stopped working before the helicopter reached the mountain, they had the survivor's co-ordinates and he had signalled them with a torch when they arrived overhead.
Mr Matheson said he and pilot Sir Richard Hayes, with night-vision goggles, could see the man ''attached to an icy ledge'' near The Ramp.
The man pointed downwards, indicating where his companion had gone.
The helicopter crew spotted Mr Kingan about 400m to 500m below and dropped off a doctor who, with the aid of the helicopter lights, confirmed Mr Kingan was dead.
The helicopter then flew away so the doctor could talk safely to the survivor about his predicament.
''Our biggest concern was with the B3 [Squirrel]; the rotor wash is just horrific and it could just blow anyone off a cliff if they weren't attached.
"But he was anchored into the snow on this little bit of a perch he had.''
The man was winched into the helicopter and flown to Wanaka.
Mr Matheson understood the two climbers were 10m apart traversing The Ramp when Mr Kingan slipped ''and of course it was pitch black so he [the second climber] didn't see where he went but just knew he went over the side''.
The surviving climber set off his beacon and then abseiled quite some distance looking for Mr Kingan, Mr Matheson said, ''until he got into a predicament himself''.
Adventure Consultants Ltd guide Mark Morrison said the route could be ''taken quite lightly'' by climbers and could catch them out even though it was the easiest route on the mountain.
''You can start by walking easily from the top, and it all seems nice and easy.
''Before you know it, you are on a 45- to 50-degree slope and if you are not careful you lose your footing.
"It's a really bad run-out, which means there is a big cliff at the bottom.''
Mr Morrison, who has been guiding for about 18 years and has climbed Mt Aspiring about 20 times, said he would always be ''roped up'' while guiding on The Ramp.
Winter climbing conditions prevailed in the Southern Alps at present, with ''pretty good mountaineering conditions'', Mr Morrison said.
Aspiring Guides' chief guide, Whitney Thurlow, said his company began climbing on the mountain in October and it was ''unusual'' to be climbing it now, although not unheard of.
''The access up there in the winter is very steep and prone to avalanche, so it is just difficult to get in and out.''
Mr Thurlow, who has climbed the mountain 50 times, said he would be comfortable doing it in the dark.
Mr Kingan had recently climbed Denali (Mt McKinley) in Alaska, North America's highest mountain, with a New Zealand Alpine Team group.
The Ramp is a glacial feature about 600m long which is typically covered in snow, not ice. | <urn:uuid:3bb2d17b-011e-4d9d-b8da-5c6fbade2e1f> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/queenstown-lakes/climber-achieved-goal-fall | 2017-05-29T07:30:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612036.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529072631-20170529092631-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.98548 | 1,133 | [

A little while ago I accepted a commision to do a couple of Conan sketch cards. I'm not really a fan of the little 2x3" things outside of a convention, so I drew them around 6x8". Sketch post-cards, I guess. . . .

This modified Bentley features a lightweight interior and strengthened steel body shell
The Bentley will run as part of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship this weekend
A heavily modified Bentley Continental GT with over 3000bhp will run as part of the FIA European Drag Racing Championship this weekend.
The car, which is powered by a 10.2-litre twin-turbocharged Chevrolet-sourced V8 engine with 3082bhp, has five times the power of the most powerful standard Continental GT variant, and three times the power of a standard Bugatti Veyron.
Its makers say the car has cost some £250,000 and taken some eight months to build, with key modifications aside from the engine, including a lightweight interior made from carbonfibre, and a strengthened steel body shell. The car will be driven by Steve Neimantas, a 48-year-old watch repairer from Yorkshire.
The Bentley will take part in the championship's Street Eliminator class, which only includes vehicles that are road legal.
The first round of the European Drag Racing Championship takes place at the Santa Pod raceway, Bedfordshire, from 23-26 May.

As my attempts to evade the ever persistent Maria succeed, she becomes sneakier, employing her ultimate weapon to break apart my resistance to her grand plans for a white wedding between me and her brother–she sends in her children.
Stage 2: The Invitation
Maria the matchmaker is at it again. This time, I’ve been invited to her granddaughter’s first birthday. It’s a family affair and Esperanza, Maria’s 16 year old daughter, has told me that everyone will be there. Including her uncle Alfonso.
“He’s single, maestra,” Esperanza tells me innocently one day after class. “He’s single and very good looking.” She tries to wink at me but only manages to blink her eyes twice like an owl. Blink, blink. Smile.
“Thank you, Esperanza, for the invitation,” I say graciously, even though I want nothing more than to tell her what she can do with her mother’s invitation. After all, I remind myself, it’s not Esperanza’s fault that her mother is being so insistent. She is an innocent bystander in this whole messy affair. Because she is waiting expectantly for an answer, I hedge by saying, “I will consider going.”
Smiling after successfully delivering her message, Esperanza gathers her books and begins to leave class.
“Maestra?” she asks halfway out the door, turning so she can look at me behind her where I sit.
She giggles and says with a smirk, “See you later….auntie.” Esperanza walks out the door, laughing, while I feel the beginning of a migraine forming.
Sigh. It seems that my theory about Esperanza’s innocence in this little matter might be mistaken after all.
I stare at the invitation in my hand and ponder Maria’s tactics. Even when she’s not here, Maria has managed to best me. I concede this round to her.

Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic face Man Utd battle - Sir Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex Ferguson has warned Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic they no longer have guaranteed places in the Manchester United side.
Vidic could return from injury to play alongside Ferdinand at Liverpool.
The duo have not played together at the heart of United's defence since the 2-1 win at West Brom on the opening weekend of the season.
Captain Vidic has been out since August with a calf strain, while Ferdinand has only made three Premier League starts.
In their absence Phil Jones, Chris Smalling and Jonny Evans have impressed during their unbeaten start to the campaign.
Ferdinand, 32, has struggled with injury during the last two seasons and has been linked with a move to the MLS. He was also left out of Fabio Capello's England squad for the 2-2 draw with Montenegro.
Ferguson said: "Rio and Nemanja are well aware they are going to have to play well to keep their places.
"Competition is so fierce now with these young lads coming through. Rio is back to his best form. He has trained really well and his experience will be vital.
"The England thing is unfortunate because he missed a couple of appearances through injury and maybe Fabio is looking to the future?
"Some managers think that way. There is nothing wrong that."
Vidic, 29, who returned to action in Serbia's 1-0 defeat to Slovenia in midweek, has revealed he is considering retiring from international football.
Ferguson added: "I've spoken to Nemanja and it was probably the right type of game to come back in.
"He had to get a game sometime. He was training very well before that game and has come back feeling fine." | <urn:uuid:0af033bd-4c9c-42d8-913b-0656efe33e74> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/15320158 | 2017-05-23T21:30:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607702.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523202350-20170523222350-00167.warc.gz | en | 0.986547 | 377 | [

The government has put on hold a proposal to divide other backward classes (OBCs) into three sub-categories and accordingly divide 27% quota in jobs and education in proportion to their population.
The move indicates that the government is treading cautiously ahead of the upcoming polls in five states, including Uttar Pradesh, where caste factor plays an important role in deciding the outcome.
The National Commission of Backward Classes (NCBC) had put forward the recommendation in February 2015.
Government officials said the sub-categorisation will create complications as not enough data on OBC population was available for the exercise.
A senior official of social justice and empowerment ministry said the Commission is also not legally competent to advice on issues other than the inclusion of castes under the NCBC Act, 1993.
As per the proposal, the central list of OBCs would be divided into three groups — extremely backward classes, more backward classes and backward classes — and the 27% quota would be apportioned among them as per their population and degree of backwardness so as to ensure that better-off OBCs do not corner the rights and benefits meant for deserving people.
“The proposal has been considered in the ministry and it was concluded that sub-categorisation would create more complications. Also, the proposal would have to rely on the Socio-Economic Caste Census data, which is not available in a comprehensive manner,” the official said.
“Also, the Commission has proposed to carry out the exercise in association with ICSSR, which would be time-consuming. Further, in states, the sub-categorisation is of communities/castes and the NCBC report in this regard is incomplete,” he said.
At present, there is no classification in the central list as a result of which the advanced OBCs avail most of the benefits, member of NCBC, Ashok Kumar Saini, said.
“The majority judgement in the Indra Sawhney case has adverted to this aspect. According to justice Sawant, who delivered a concurrent but separate judgement, the absence of classification results in great injustice to the most deserving and really backward classes,” Saini said.
Some states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Puducherry, Karnataka, Haryana, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Bihar, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have, however, implemented sub-categorisation.
The Commission had also suggested that an expert body be commissioned to study the methodology and finalise the criteria and indicators. | <urn:uuid:dc4e318d-c10b-490a-8794-d1f68b697bf0> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/no-sub-categories-of-obcs-for-now-says-govt/story-TfoF6F5a6atIqPK0c6P4IO.html | 2017-05-27T02:18:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608726.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527001952-20170527021952-00004.warc.gz | en | 0.957591 | 530 | [

Iran Has ‘Positive’ View on Geneva Talks as Nuclear Issues Loom
December 07, 2010
Jonathan Tirone and Ladane Nasseri
Preventing the spread of nuclear weapons and a proposal to transfer atomic-reactor fuel to Iran top the agenda as U.S. and European diplomats meet for a second day in Geneva with their Iranian counterparts.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a speech today in the city of Arak that talks will be “fruitful” if sanctions against Iran are canceled. Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said at a press conference in Tehran that Iran is going into the talks with a “positive attitude.” Nuclear non-proliferation, disarmament and atomic-technology transfer will be the points of discussion, he said.
“What matters most to the Americans is Iran’s uranium enrichment and their alleged studies” into nuclear weapons, Ivan Oelrich, senior fellow at the Washington-based Federation of American Scientists, said in a telephone interview from New Orleans. “If both sides agree to talk on those issues, then that would be a step forward.”
Iran’s nuclear program, which has drawn four sets of United Nations sanctions, is at the center of the European Union-led talks in Geneva. Iran says it’s producing uranium to fuel atomic reactors. The U.S. and Europe accuse Iran of trying to build nuclear weapons.
Iran used yesterday’s meeting in Geneva with the so-called P5+1 -- China, France, Russia, the U.S., the U.K. and Germany -- to talk about a Nov. 29 bombing in Tehran that killed an Iranian nuclear scientist. Iran has blamed foreign agents for the bombing.
Iran’s envoy to the Geneva talks, Saeed Jalili, opened the session by condemning the killing of physicist Majid Shahriari, state-run Mehr news agency reported, citing an unidentified Iranian official in Geneva.
“We believe some of the secret foreign services have been involved,” Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told reporters in Athens yesterday. “Those who think murders and military violence can destroy nuclear technology have made a big mistake.”
The U.S. has said it wasn’t involved, while Israel and the U.K. have declined to comment.
“Trust is going to take a long time to develop, and they’re not going to come out of this meeting with an agreement,” Paul Ingram, executive director of the British American Security Information Council, a London-based policy advisory group, said yesterday by telephone. “There is an increased willingness now to discuss real issues.”
International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors have been stymied by Iranian officials, who have so far refused to discuss documents that show Iran may have researched the construction of nuclear weapons. The IAEA has been investigating Iran’s nuclear work since 2003, when it was revealed that Tehran’s government had hidden atomic research for two decades.
Tensions may mount further after Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of Iran’s atomic energy agency, said Dec. 5 that the country had achieved self-sufficiency in producing yellowcake -- uranium in its raw form -- as part of its nuclear program.
The goal of the talks is to find a way for the P5+1 -- the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council plus Germany -- to build momentum for further negotiations, say past and present diplomats from countries participating. An immediate breakthrough isn’t likely, they say.

2017 is nearly here. People are looking ahead to the new year. And for cyber security experts, this inevitably involves thinking about what threats we’ll all have to contend with in the near future.
The possibilities might seem incalculable. But experts know the past always offers clues about what attackers are focusing their attention on. Bad software launched one year become targets the next. New, insecure devices become security risks. And so on.
So if you’re the betting type, here’s where you should put your money in 2017.
Russia and their cyber espionage capabilities made headlines in 2016 thanks to their perceived involvement in the recent US presidential election. But China, and the prospect of them using cyber attacks to dig up dirt on the incoming administration, are the threat actors the US needs to start worrying about.
It wasn’t too long ago that everyone was upset about China. The Office of Personnel Management hack disclosed in 2015 was reported to affect as many as 14 million people. It was enough for Obama to push back against China on cyber security matters. But the new administration seems to be blissfully unaware as to how and why nation-states use cyber attacks to develop their political interests.
For example, the incoming national security advisor apparently once had an unauthorized internet connection installed in the Pentagon, basically eliminating the “air gap” used to safeguard one of the US’ most important national security centers. Stuff like this makes Michael Flynn a cyber attack victim waiting to happen.
As for motive, a normal presidential transition would attract China’s attention, as they would like to catch “sneak peeks” or a “behind the scenes look” at the policies and positions of the incoming administration. But this wasn’t a normal election. Trump and his political network caused controversy throughout their campaign. Pulling that thread by digging up non-public dirt can help China gain leverage over Trump’s team, and actually unravel initiatives, policies, and positions that might run against their interests. And China has the motives and capabilities to make this happen in 2017.
–Sean Sullivan, Security Advisor
The Mirai attacks against Dyn seemed to take many people by surprise. I think the shock value of the attack, which is how I interpreted the massive amount of media coverage the attacks generated, is a by-product of people either misunderstanding or underestimating the threat posed by the proliferation of insecure internet of things (IoT) devices.
All new technologies enter this phase where early adopters begin using them in ways not foreseen by original manufacturers. IoT devices are in this part of their adoption cycle. We’re seeing certain “design flaws” that aren’t apparent when testing these products in a lab or under controlled testing conditions. That’s why we saw one company recall their webcams in the wake of the Dyn hack. They realized that the security flaw in that particular model was something that could be used by hackers, which wasn’t something they considered when designing the device.
So I definitely think IoT devices will increasingly be used for Denial of Service attacks through 2017. But the good news is that I don’t think the problem will escalate beyond DDoS stuff until 2018, when we’ll probably see hackers working to attack device owners through their IoT gadgets. That gives the cyber security industry, regulators, and device manufacturers time to work together to protect the smart environments we’re creating.
–Mika Ståhlberg, Chief Technology Officer
Cryptography is one of the few counterweights to the security risks entrenched in the digital infrastructure we rely on today. It’s a cornerstone of security used to protect the information we entrust to digital environments. By using cryptographic means to safeguard information that’s stored or transmitted digitally, people can trust that their information stays safe from the prying eyes of spies, criminals, and even companies.
Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates the benefits this type of security has for individuals, companies, and society. In recent years, governments have been exploring ways to essentially weaken the ability of IT companies to use cryptography. Apple’s spat with the FBI over encrypted iPhones is probably the best example of how policy makers and IT companies clash over this issue. A more significant (and recent) example is the approval of the so-called “Snoopers’ Charter” in the UK.
In 2017, we’ll see a revitalized push for IT companies to accommodate surveillance needs by weakening the security of their products and services. Politicians in different European nations will follow France’s lead and discuss legal and technical ways to give governments the capability to monitor people’s digital activities. Proponents of these types of regulatory initiatives will clash with those who believe sacrificing security measures such as cryptography will increase everyone’s exposure to cyber crime, foreign intelligence gathering, government persecution, and more. I’ve testified in front of governments about these issues in the past. And I expect to do so again in 2017.
–Erka Koivunen, Chief Information Security Officer
2016 saw some developments with internet of things security that I think gives some clues about how the threat landscape will shape up next year. The destructive capabilities of botnets and DDoS attacks certainly become more apparent. I think Mirai really highlighted the potential value of targeting internet-connected devices like IoT products and routers, and I think we’ll see this trend continue next year.
Specifically, I think we might see the creation of “Wi-Fi worms” – a type of malware that could quickly spread through an urban area by using Wi-Fi to infect routers. Basically, an infected device would contain code that attempts to copy itself to routers via Wi-Fi connections. Once a router becomes infected, the worm then attempts to find and replicate itself to more routers.
Now, I don’t necessarily foresee this being something used in attacks. It may be something developed as a proof-of-concept by researchers. But we’ve seen more attention being paid to routers and non-PC devices in the past few years. A Wi-Fi worm is a logical extension of what we’ve seen with Mirai, and I think current technologies and tactics have put this within reach.
–Sean Sullivan, Security Advisor
Commodity malware is becoming less effective against the kind of endpoint protection we have nowadays. You might not think that based on some of the terrible security incidents that made headlines in 2016. But it’s true. It’s not just about malware anymore.
Hackers can take run of the mill, commodified malware and find new and innovative ways to use it. Sometimes this involves social engineering their way into an account with a phishing email. Other times they’re able to find servers that have simply been forgotten by IT admins, and then use those as beach heads to penetrate networks.
Combining artificial intelligence and human ingenuity is how the cyber security industry will combat these threats in the future. Tasks like risk analysis, penetration testing, threat assessments, incident response, and forensics, can all be innovated by leveraging the benefits of man and machine working together. And we’ll see industry players and even cyber security startups put a lot of focus on growing their expertise with this approach in 2017.

Kinloss synagogue has been deprived of its principal phone line for almost a week because of a mistake made by the United Synagogue’s procurement agency.
The chairman of the synagogue, Jon Mendelsohn, said that the phone service had been disconnected “due to an error by a service provider under contract by the US centrally”.
The problem emerged after the US asked its procurement company to find a phone provider for a number of synagogues, including Kinloss in Finchley.
A US spokesperson assured Kinloss members that “a team of engineers are working around the clock” to solve it.
Mr Mendelsohn said that he was “sure that the service will be returned to normal shortly”.
It is thought that the synagogue may have to accept a new phone number, potentially causing difficulties in communicating with members in the run up to Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur. | <urn:uuid:40d28fe4-5479-44ee-921d-1d2155869976> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/kinloss-phone-chaos-1.46991 | 2017-05-28T04:51:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463609598.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528043426-20170528063426-00324.warc.gz | en | 0.976617 | 192 | [

Even in our "sex positive" age, the following assumptions persist:
A man who sleeps around, chases women...he's labeled A MISOGYNIST!
A woman who sleeps around isn't labeled a slut quite as quickly. Instead, everyone immediately assumes SHE'S SEEKING A DADDY!
On the one hand, we're telling everyone casual sex is OK, we must depart from the puritan past, the shackles of tradition shan't chafe our fair wrists any longer. But the minute we start putting those slogans into practice, everyone becomes a wind-up psychiatrist.
If anything, this makes today's society more puritanical. Insults like cad or slut are superficial and can be cast off fairly easily by settling down. Misogynist and daddy seeker are much deeper insults, alleging far more entrenched and pathological maladies. You can't go to confession one Sunday and wash off the stench of misogyny. You have to visit a shrink (today's replacement priests) for several years to tug out all the weeds of woman-hating clinching your intestines.
Of course, a society that even tolerates a term like sex positive is obviously far from sex positive, and expecting everyone's love life to obey the psychiatrically approved commandments is about as sex negative (and puritanical) as it gets. But don't tell that to Prozac Nation. They'll assume you're looking for an excuse to be a daddy seeker who only dates misogynists. | <urn:uuid:f9a52e99-2a38-4052-b788-a5390992278d> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://domikepayne.blogspot.com/2014/04/not-just-gigolo-unfortunately.html | 2017-05-29T11:26:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612283.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529111205-20170529131205-00132.warc.gz | en | 0.948635 | 306 | [

Toddler drowns at Okaliveva villageWritten by Isabel Bento on 20 March 2017.
OSHAKATI, 20 MAR (NAMPA) - A two-year-old boy drowned on Sunday after he fell into a bucket of water at the Okaliveva village in the Oshikoto Region.
A daily crime report issued by the region's Crime Investigations Coordinator, Deputy Commissioner Naomi Katjiua on Monday states that the incident occurred at around 18h30.
He has been identified as Matias Edson Kondjeni.
The deceased was said to be unattended at home when the incident happened.
His next of kin have been informed.

In a much-anticipated court hearing Thursday, Pinellas County lawyers squared off against a group of residents seeking to unseat four county commissioners accused of violating term limits.
Though the lawsuit was filed in June 2012, it was not until Thursday's hearing that lawyers for both sides delved into the legal arguments at the heart of the case. Up until this point, they have been obscured by disagreements over who ought to be included in the lawsuit, which names Commissioners Susan Latvala, Ken Welch, Karen Seel, and John Morroni.
Plaintiffs Maria Scruggs, H. Patrick Wheeler, and Beverley Billiris sued the commissioners, citing a 1996 referendum that voters approved that limited commissioners to two four-year terms. They contend that in the years following the vote, elected officials flagrantly ignored the term limits and did not write them into the county's charter.
Arguing before Pinellas Pasco Circuit Court Judge John Schaefer, Steven Dupre, a private lawyer hired by the county, countered that term limits in Pinellas are moot. In the years after 72 percent of Pinellas voters approved term limits, Florida's Supreme Court found them unconstitutional and sent the lower courts a mandate instructing them to quash earlier rulings upholding them.
The fact that the Supreme Court issued a new ruling last year upholding term limits does not automatically revive them, Dupre said.
"The plaintiffs' theory here is that [the second Supreme Court ruling] is like a time warp," Dupre said. "And they jumped through a black hole and went back in time … and suddenly the commissioners that have been serving as good county servants for years are serving illegally."
The commission also is composed differently today than it was in the '90s, he argued, noting that in 1999 voters approved expanding the number of members from five to seven.
In this response, the plaintiffs' lawyer, John Shahan, said the Supreme Court's initial ruling didn't apply. Although Pinellas voters approved term limits for both county commissioners and constitutional officers, the state's high court only ruled them unconstitutional for the latter group, he said.
"The county commissioners were not part of that ruling," Shahan said. Untouched by the decision, they should be subject to term limits, he added. Dupre said that documents show the ruling covered both the commissioners and the constitutional officers.
Following the arguments, Judge Schaefer said he would issue a ruling by May 17.
Wheeler, one of the plaintiffs, said the hearing was "magnificent."
"I really think we're winning," he said, with a grin. "We had everything well at hand. And they just didn't have all the facts in the right order."
Asked whether he planned to appeal the case if the judge does not rule in favor, Wheeler shot back: "Are you standing on the floor? That's your answer."
The four commissioners named in the suit did not attend the hearing, nor did Billiris, one of the plaintiffs. | <urn:uuid:8d6f743f-3ce7-4408-b7a3-a3157a12aed8> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.tampabay.com/news/localgovernment/judge-to-rule-in-pinellas-county-term-limits-case-by-may-17/2118854 | 2017-05-29T12:11:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463612283.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20170529111205-20170529131205-00132.warc.gz | en | 0.976301 | 622 | [

About 40 light years from Earth, there is an intriguing system with a dim red star and seven alien worlds rapidly orbiting it.
And what makes the find so exciting is that three of those planets are in the “Goldilocks zone” of the star: the just-right place where liquid water could exist on a planet’s rocky surface.
The announcement of the discovery around the star called TRAPPIST-1, made yesterday by NASA, is a reminder of the ultimate question: is there life in the universe besides what we know of on Earth?
And could any of these TRAPPIST-1 planets— especially the three in the habitable zone— have the right ingredients for it to develop?
“The news is wonderful, and has been since last year, when the first three planets in this system were discovered,” Dimitar Sasselov, a professor of astronomy at Harvard University, and a researcher who focuses on studying the origins of life in his lab, told Fox News. “This just confirms what we started theorizing already in the past two years: [which] is that our galaxy, our universe, is just full of places which could sustain life, and where life could emerge.”
Part of the reason the news is wonderful is that the system lends itself to being studied by astronomers in the next couple years— and not way down the line— Sasselov said. The three planets in the habitable zone of this star are promising because their rocky surfaces could support liquid water, which is essential for life as we know it.
Plus, if the planets are indeed rocky, they could contain the six right elements in the right concentration for life, Sasselov said: stuff like carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen.
David Kipping, an expert on exoplanets and an assistant professor of astronomy at Columbia University, said that his first reaction to the discovery was to be “extremely excited.”
The star that the seven planets are orbiting is a very common one called a red dwarf— it’s small, dim, and cool compared to our own sun, but it could also burn for a very, very long time: somewhere on the order of a trillion years, or even longer, Kipping said.
“When we look for potentially life-bearing planets, there’s really one thing we’re looking for, and that’s liquid surface water,” Kipping told Fox News. Of course, in order to have surface water, the planet needs to have a rocky surface, and he said that the planets seem likely to have that. Another point in their favor? There are three planets in the system that would be at the right temperature for liquid water to exist.
“That doesn’t prove they’re definitely capable of supporting of life,” he said. After all, one or two of the three planets could be like Venus in our solar system, which has nasty conditions. But still, three planets is better than two or one, odds-wise. “With three bites at the cherry, you have to be optimistic that there’s a good shot one of them has the potential to be Earth-like.”
He added: “As far as we know right now, I’d say there are no show-stoppers to stop life from living on these worlds.”
There are a couple factors to consider, though. Astronomers will have to study the star further (it could have emitted a lot of radiation when it was young, for example), as well as the masses of the planets and the shape of their orbits (to see how elliptical they are) to figure out how conducive they could be for life. The next step, Kipping said, will be to look for biosignatures on the planets using a telescope. (The James Webb Space Telescope, launching in 2018, will be an important resource for astronomers.)
Lisa Kaltenegger, as associate professor of astronomy, and the director of the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell University, said that one aspect to consider with this “small red sun” is that the levels of ultraviolet light could be high, although life could perhaps shelter in a hypothetical ocean.
“I think finding many planets, multiple possible habitats, around one star is great news for the search for life,” she said, pointing out that the news made her feel motivated. “Because that just means we’re getting more places to look. And it’s just a numbers game— we already have a lot of stars with planets, now if we have a couple of planets per star, the odds are ever in our favor, hopefully.”

I have a post up today at MaineCrimeWriters.com in honor of National Library Week. The library was the place where I decided to cross the line from reading books to writing them my myself. Being surrounded by all those wonderful stories opened up my imagination in surprising ways (sometimes exhilerating, sometimes disturbing). I know we're all supposed to be excited by the infinite possibilities of the internet, but there's a lot to be said for having limited choices at hand—being forced, in my case, to read Catch-22 because I'd run through all the other paperbacks on the free shelf and then discovering it spoke to me in ways I never would have imagined. Today, libraries are going through a period of deep soul-searching, as they increasingly become places where patrons come to browse the web and not the books. That's fodder for another post. But I would be remiss, given my success as an author, not to pay homage to the libraries that helped form my sensibility. | <urn:uuid:71f91605-3a82-46bb-892d-04f16e55d9d1> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.pauldoiron.com/blog/2012/4/9/my-life-in-libraries.html | 2017-05-22T23:13:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607242.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20170522230356-20170523010356-00196.warc.gz | en | 0.976991 | 204 | [

About May Project Gardens
May Project Gardens was founded in 2009 with the aim of bringing communities closer together through ecological and ethical activities. The site has approximately 250sqm of growing space where a variety of fruits and vegetables are grown by individuals who volunteer their time to help keep the project going. The site was designed using Permaculture principles, advocating working with nature not against her to fulfil our needs, and great emphasis is placed on reducing waste and increasing efficiency. We have a medium sized polytunnel, a small herb garden, two large main crop beds, a wildlife zone (which includes a pond and a wild flower bed), a small food forest garden and four different composting systems.
The main aim of May Project Gardens is to bring communities closer together to act collectively. The project provides access to the tools necessary to educate communities about the issues that affect the environment and as a result the effects they have on those inhabiting the planet. May Project Gardens helps to demonstrate some of the solutions to these issues and encourages all to get involve and make a difference. We hold regular open days where anyone can come along and get involve either helping out in the garden, sowing seed, weeding, harvesting, etc. or help make some of the many produce we create at the garden namely jams, chutneys, and juices. We also deliver workshops and courses on a range of topics including Permaculture, composting, using recycled wood, wild food foraging, and fruit and vegetable growing.

Germany is the largest economy in Europe and is also one of the leading tyres markets, globally. Moreover, the country is the fourth largest passenger car producer, globally, after China, US and Japan, which market Germany a large market for OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer). On the other hand, the replacement tyre market is also significant because of high passenger car population, with the country’s car ownership level estimated at about 530 passenger cars per thousand people in Germany in 2012.In addition, the country has the second largest logistics market across the global, which boosts the overall demand for commercial vehicles as well as tyres in the country.
According to recently published report “Germany Tyre Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018”, the tyre market in Germany is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 4% during 2013-18, in volume terms. The major tyre market companies in Germany include Groupe Michelin, Bridgestone Germany GmbH, Continental AG and Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH. The report highlights that increasing imports from China and short supply of natural rubber are the key challenges being faced by the tyre companies in Germany.
The government of Germany is also taking initiatives to boost the automotive market. The government’s subsidy of USD95 per capita on the purchase of electric cars is also expected to propel growth of OEM segment of passenger car tyres in coming years.
“Germany is one of the largest tyre markets in Europe and has a huge fleet of passenger cars. Though the country is undergoing a tough economic phase, with customers being more reluctant in replacing their tyres, the country’s economy is expected to recover faster than other economies in Europe. This would consequently boost the overall demand for tyres, both in OEMs and replacement segments, over the next five years.” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director with TechSci Research a research based global management consulting firm.
“Germany Tyre Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018” has evaluated the future growth potential for the tyre industry in Germany, and it provides statistics and information on the market structure and consumer behavior trends. The report includes tyre market projections and demand forecasting. The report is intended to provide cutting-edge market intelligence and help decision makers with sound investment evaluation. Besides, the report also identifies and analyzes the emerging trends along with essential drivers, challenges and opportunities available in tyre market in Germany. | <urn:uuid:a57b27dc-7f2d-40fa-8c32-38b589877e13> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/139019/Michelin-and-Continental-to-Continue-their-Market-Dominance-in-Germanys-Tyre-Market-through-2018-Finds-TechSci-Research/ | 2017-05-25T22:46:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608617.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525214603-20170525234603-00553.warc.gz | en | 0.96068 | 498 | [

Dual language helps children intellectually
May 30, 2016
Posted by on
“The usual way of teaching language to non-English students begins with native Spanish speakers in the class being taught by bi-lingual teachers where learning English is emphasized.
Native English speaking students often have had little contact with native Spanish speakers.
There is another way of teaching that is more deliberate than throwing them all together and hoping they will learn from each other.
On the week the class was observed, it was afternoon.
The students spoke in Spanish. All of them, both native Spanish speakers and native English speakers as well as Moran. That morning they had been all been speaking in English — all of them.
All subjects were taught in the language of the morning or afternoon session. All of the classes usually taught in kindergarten were being taught in the language of that session.
Reading, writing, science and social studies are taught in both languages. All materials are in both languages. There is a sign on the doorway that indicates which language is being spoken in the classroom.
The next week the sessions will be reversed with Spanish in the morning and English in the afternoons.”

Festool TS 55 REQ Plunge Cut Track Saw
Setting The Standard for Portable Circular Saws
The TS REQ is not your standard circular saw. With its accuracy and versatility, a better comparison would be to the most advanced table saws, miter saws or panel saws available. Add in its incredible portability and unbelievable ease of use, and you have a precision-cutting solution like no other, at home in the highest-end cabinet shop as well as an onsite remodel. With the addition of micro-adjustable depth controls and a flat housing for flush-cutting against walls or adjacent surfaces, the TS 55 REQ is our most advanced plunge cut saw ever, which is saying a lot.
- TS 55 REQ Circular Saw
- Guide Rail
- Carbide Blade
- Limit Stop FS/2
- Plastic Splinterguard
- Systainer Carrying Case
Bring the accuracy of a panel saw to any site with the TS 55 saw and guide rail system. This combination provides straight, splinter-free cuts on both sides of the blade right out of the box. Unlike conventional pendulum-cover circular saws, Festool's design allows the saw blade to retract into the housing giving you the option to start and end the cut accurately anywhere on the material. All of this innovation means a quicker, safer and more cost-effective precision tool. The dust extraction port ensures less dust and a clear view of the workpiece. Saw close to edges, cut apertures and false joints, and cut to length. For solid wood, fine veneered panels and sheet goods of all kinds, plastic, and aluminum.
Tool not available for export.

- Dust Extractor Connection: 1" & 1-7/16"
- Weight: 9.9 lbs
- When used with Festool guide rails, you can achieve perfectly straight and splinter-free cuts.
- Spring-loaded riving knife (splitter) keeps the cut kerf open so that the material does not pinch the blade. This reduces the chance of kickback.
- The slip clutch helps to minimize the risk of a kickback and minimizes wear on the blade, gear case, and motor.
- Blade changes are easier and safer using the FastFix system which locks switch and arbor simultaneously for easy arbor bolt removal. | <urn:uuid:648af571-205d-44e5-bd6b-b6f19e02dc49> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.coastaltool.com/festool/561556.htm | 2017-05-23T01:26:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607245.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523005639-20170523025639-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.862491 | 583 | [

ROCKVILLE, Md. — The U.S. chocolate market continues to grow, according to a new Packaged Facts report.
Calling the market "mature, differentiated and demanding," Packaged Facts said it has projected that the U.S. market for chocolate sold at retail was $19.5 billion in 2011, up 6.6% over the previous year. The research firm said everyday chocolate, seasonal candies and premium chocolate all posted dollar gains for the market, though the sales also were driven in part by price increases implemented to offset rises in raw material and other costs. The main channel for chocolate sales continue to be supermarkets and convenience stores, but natural food stores also have seen gains, particularly in the organic chocolate category.

Types of Banks
Central bank: The Federal Reserve Bank (FED) in the USA The Federal Reserve System was created by an act of congress in 1913. It is the central bank of the country. It exercises monetary authority over the country. The US currency is issued by the Federal Reserve Banks. Every currency note says the words "Federal Reserve Note" on it. It is a banker's bank, meaning it acts as the bank for member banks. It acts as the lender of last resort, meaning that it is obligated to financially rescue a member bank, as and when needed. It has the right to buy and sell government securities. It sets the reserve ratio "r", and member banks have to uphold that. The USA has a two tier banking system, with the FED at the top. They deal with member banks only. The member banks deal with the public at large. The FED sets the basic regulation which the member banks have to follow. The FED also gives loans to member banks at a rate called the "discount rate." Every member bank owns stock in its district FED branch. The FED sets the monetary policy of the country. There are 12 Federal Reserve Banks, located in: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco. Each bank is administered by a bank President. The 12 FED banks are administered by a 7 member Board of Governors (BOG), appointed by the President of the United States. They have to be confirmed by the Senate. Each member serves a 14 year non-renewable term. One new member of the BOG’s is appointed every 2 years. This is done so as to insulate the FED from political control. It assures their autonomy in policy making, because one president over his 4 year term can only appoint 2 BOG members. One of the governor's is appointed the Chairman of the FED. He has a 4 year renewable term. The FED decides the reserve requirements, based on the economic situation in the country. The FED has mainly 3 tools in its arsenal to control the monetary policy of the country. They are: 1) Open Market Operation 2) Changing the discount rate 3) Changing the reserve requirements There is a FED subcommittee, called the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). It has the responsibility of buying and selling government securities, under the open market operation. This is the primary way the FED exercises expansionary or contractionary monetary policy over the economy. The FOMC consists of 7 BOG and 5 Presidents from the 12 Presidents of the 12 regional FED banks. The chairman of the FED heads the FOMC. The president of the New York FED is the only regional FED person who presides in every FOMC meeting.
Commercial banks: Commercial banks are financial institutions which take deposits (checkable, savings and time deposits) from people and companies. These are their liabilities. They also make loans to both of them. They also buy corporate and government bonds, which are their assets. Commercial banks are financial institutions which take deposits (checkable, savings and time deposits) from people and companies. These are their liabilities. They are financial institutions which act as a financial intermediary between the saver and the investor. They also make loans to both of them. Functions: Keep peoples savings, and pay interest to them on those Accept and clear checks Issuing bank drafts They also buy corporate and government bonds, which are their assets. Nowadays they also do internet banking They give loans to people as well as companies. Some of them also have safe deposit boxes for safekeeping of client's valuables They give both secured as well as unsecured loans. A secured loan is a loan given against some collateral (asset) as a house or a car. A special case of a secured loan given against real estate (like a house) is called a mortgage loan. The commercial bank holds the title (deed or ownership) of the house or real estate, till it is completely paid off. If the borrower defaults on his loan (is not able to make agreed upon payments) the bank can sell the house and recover their balances. Hence it is a secured loan. Nowadays commercial banks are big players in the mortgage market. Unsecured loans are given based on trust and credit worthiness of the client. Examples of these would be personal loans make to their clients, extending a clients credit line and giving them overdraft facilities on their account and also their debit card.
Investment banks: These are large financial institutions which help companies/ firms/ even governments raise funds from the marketplace. The investment firms are the underwriters (guarantors in a sense) of the initial investment. The investment firms buy the initial public offering (IPO) of the companies in the primary stock market, in its entirety. The firms then sell them to everyone else in the secondary stock market. They back up the start up company or government (as the case may be) and its credibility. The investment firms' returns is the difference between the first issue price (IPO price) at which they bought the shares in the primary market, and the price at which they sell the shares in the secondary market. Investment firms deal with derivatives and other financial instruments. Investment banks do not take deposits from the public like a regular commercial bank. Investment banks or investment firms in the USA have to have a proper license to operate. They are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the USA there is a clear separation between the functions of investment banks and commercial banks. Investment banks mainly raise money for firms and corporations. They help in mergers and acquisitions.
Credit Unions: These are small banks. They give many banking services, but are only open to its members. One has to be a member of a credit union to be able to bank with them, or avail their services. Credit unions provide savings/ checking accounts to members. They also provide their members with small loans to buy consumer durable like a car. Credit unions are non-profit organizations. Credit unions are owned by their members. They have a democratic (1 person/1 vote) system to elect their board of directors. Credit unions today have their own credit cards, certificate of deposit (CD's), online banking facilities etc. Their funds are insured up-to 250,000 dollars per account by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). It is backed by the US government. Credit unions generally pay higher interest / dividends on their savings (compared to other commercial banks.) They also charge lower interest to their members on loans (again compared to other commercial banks.) Outsiders (non-members) cannot bank with a credit union. Credit unions are chartered to service a specific group of individuals like teachers, for example the Detroit Teachers Credit Union (DTCU.) An original members' family members can also join the same credit union. Many credit unions serve low income groups and also geographically under served areas of the USA. Credit unions are exempt from federal and state income tax. They do have to pay property taxes. Credit unions are small local banks which do a host of banking services, but have unique characteristics. It is a co-operative type bank. It is owned by its members. One cannot use the services of a credit union without becoming a member. Thus it is not open for business like a commercial bank. It gives loans to its members at competitive rates. Most of the time interest charged by credit unions is less than those charged by commercial banks. It generally gives small loans to its members, but does not make large commercial loans. It serves a community, like the Detroit Teachers Credit Union (DTCU) serving Detroit teachers. In the USA credit unions are “not for profit” organizations and hence are tax exempt. The members of the credit union control and run their own banks by electing the banks Board of Directors (BOD.) This is done on the democratic principle of one man one vote. The services they generally offer are savings and checking accounts. Online banking facilities, credit cards and CD’s. Most credit union deposits are insured by the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF). The coverage is the same as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), up-to 250,000 dollars per account. Credit unions are backed by the US government and regulated by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA.)
Savings and loan institutions: These are also called thrift institutions. They have a long history starting from the 1800. These are savings institutions. They also mortgage property. Upto 1970, they were tightly regulated, their interest rate ceilings or limits decided by regulators. Early on they could only make limited types of loans. Then in the late 70's, President Carter expanded their power, and deregulated them. They could now pay higher interest on their deposits, and even take loans from the FED. They could make commercial loans and issue credit cards. The S&L accounts were insured by the FDIC. But this deregulation resulted in little oversight of what the S&L's were doing. They started new and more profitable lending practices. These were in the form of loaning money to risky ventures at higher interest rates, increasing their profit margin. Under regulation, both banks and S&Ls could have 5 % of their deposits brokered, not more. With deregulation, this limit was lifted. Now they could offer higher interest on CD's and this attracted a lot of public funds. But in order to pay these high interest rates on their CD's, they had to earn even higher interest from their loans. Thus started the practice of venturing into more and more risky channels. Junk bonds were one such type of investments. They also had the inherent advantage (as opposed to regulated banks), that they would not have to declare insolvency and thus could not be shut down. Thus they operated even when things inside got really bad. There were no checks and balances. When the loans started to go bad, over time the whole edifice collapsed. The critics believe that the regulatory norms should not have been removed. That would have prevented these excesses in risky behavior. But alas, we do not learn from our mistakes. A similar problem, but on a much larger scale and magnitude has come back to haunt us. It stared in 2007 with the collapse of the housing markets. It's Deja-vu all over again.
Virtual bank: In case of a virtual bank there is very little brick and mortar type buildings. Most of these bank business is conducted online, electronically using the telephone, the World Wide Web (WWW), internet, ATM, mobile banking via your phone. Their establishment costs are minimal. Their worker expenses are minimal. Thus their costs of conducting business (transaction costs) are lower compared to traditional banks. These banks exist in the internet only and hence are called virtual banks. The world's first virtual bank was the Security first Network bank of Atlanta, USA, set up in 1995. Its deposits were FDIC insured. In 1998 it was bought over by the Royal bank of Canada. Then other virtual banks also known as E-banks, opened up in Europe and Asia. Even today there are E-banks in the USA as: 1) AM Trust Direct 2) Bank of Internet 3) USAA 4) Virtual bank 5) WT Direct etc. These are not 100 % electronic in the sense that most have some sort of physical presence as buildings, workers' offices etc. Due to their low running costs, these E-banks could offer higher interest on their savings and also charge lower interest on their loans. This is a big advantage for the customer. The fear is the lack of any face to face meeting in case of a problem. | <urn:uuid:f13ee42b-9d09-4d12-99a0-93e7e3d0fdf1> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.econmentor.com/hs-advanced/fundamental-economics/economic-institutions/types-of-banks/text/957.html | 2017-05-23T01:07:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607245.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523005639-20170523025639-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.980197 | 2,411 | [

Chapter 10 : Early mornings and torrential downpour
| ||Rating: Mature||Chapter Reviews: 3|
Background: Font color:
Arthur Weasley stood in the middle of his family’s campsite in the early hours of the morning practically shaking with excitement. Today was the last day of the camping trip tomorrow they would take the bus home. Arthur glanced at his watch he was going to get all his family out of bed to see the sunrise. Arthur repressed a shudder when he realized that several of his children were not morning people. Ignoring the ginger fueled wrath that would soon descend upon him Arthur put his whistle to his lips. The shrill cry cut through the morning air, and Arthur heard the mutterings and profanity that he always associated with waking his children.
Molly was the first to leave the tent she hurried to his side looking concerned. Arthur gestured for her to wait for the others. Still whistling Arthur watched as his children slowly made their way out of bed. Finally when all his loved ones were around him rubbing sleep from their eyes and shivering he let the whistle fall. It dangled from a string around his neck, quite ingenious really, so he wouldn’t lose it. “Morning Weasleys! As I’m sure you remember today is our last day here; I want to make this day special. So we are starting our day together by watching the sunrise.”
Arthur was practically bouncing with excitement; unfortunately his children didn’t seem to share his enthusiasm. He saw Hermione seemed to be torn, finally she spoke, “Mr. Weasley according to my watch it’s now 3:17 am the sun won’t rise until close to 5:00 am.” A groan rose up from his children at this news. Mr. Weasley beamed at them in return, “well then we’ll have time for a spot of breakfast. Besides I want us to have the full sunrise experience, so we’ll watch the sky lighten.”
At this point Molly saw that he needed some assistance and started shooing her children towards the camp fire. In no time at all they were all sitting comfortably eating egg and bacon sandwiches. Arthur never ceased to be amazed by Molly’s ability to get their children to do what she wanted. As his children filled their bellies their mouths began to move. Arthur sat with his sandwich and let the chattering of his children surround him. He was used to people telling him that he and Molly were nuts for having all these kids, but he loved it. This happy chaos was his bliss, if only Fred were here this would be the perfect morning.
Ron looked around at the other occupants of the tent and couldn’t help but smile. Watching the sunrise hadn’t been possible because of the torrential downpour that arrived with the dawn. Now his very boisterous family was all cooped up in the campsite. The charms Hermione cast managed to keep the area under them dry, but it was nowhere near enough room for his family to run free. It was only nine o’clock in the morning and already George had set Percy on fire, Ginny had cast a bat Bogey hex at Charlie for trying to eat her pygmy puff Arnold, and his mum and Bill had been arguing for almost an hour about Bill’s ponytail and earring. Fleur had quite wisely decided to leave them to their fight and had wandered off to sit with Audrey. If the look on Fleur’s face was any indication she wanted nothing more than to poke Audrey’s eyes out. Ginny had been cornered by dad and was roped into playing with the collection of broken umbrellas he had brought along for just this reason. If she hadn’t just hexed Charlie she probably would have wriggled from her father’s grasp, but with Charlie looking for revenge Ginny was better off staying with their dad. Ron looked to his right and saw his two best friends playing with Teddy together. It made Ron happy to see them both so happy, and Ron’s stomach flipped when he remembered that he was part of that happiness.
George was enjoying himself. It had been so long since he had enjoyed anything, but now he found himself having to pretend to be okay less frequently. Fred’s loss still left a gaping hole inside him. George knew he would gladly give his other ear and as many limbs as he could spare to have his twin back, but that wasn’t possible.
George also knew that his siblings had really pulled together to help him get through the last two years. He didn’t know that he would ever feel completely normal again, but he knew that the future looked bright. If he was being completely honest with himself there was a someone who was making the future seem brighter. George had been seeing Angelina Johnson for a couple of months now and it was time to let his family know. He would have to bring her to the next Sunday Lunch. Bringing his attention back to his increasingly bored family George made a decision. A bored Weasley was a dangerous thing.
George grabbed Ron’s hand his younger brother instinctively grabbed Harry who grabbed Hermione, and pulled them all out into the rain. Once he had ensured that they were all thoroughly soaked and were pretending to be ducks with Teddy, George returned to the campsite to grab more family. In no time at all he had his family racing around in the rain. Mud was thrown, mostly at Percy, and everyone was smiling. George stood int he midst of the chaos grinning broadly it felt good to cause a little mischief again. Eventually George knew his mum would insist every come back under cover and dry off, but for now they were just having fun, and wasn’t that the point of this whole trip?

ConocoPhillips plans to cut 10 percent of its workforce
Published 4:16 am, Wednesday, September 2, 2015
NEW YORK — Energy company ConocoPhillips, which has already cut 1,000 jobs this year, says it will eliminate around 1,810 more positions following a plunge that took oil prices to their lowest levels in years.
The company said Tuesday it is eliminating 10 percent of its workforce. The biggest proportion of the job cuts will be in North America. ConocoPhillips plans to eliminate more than 500 jobs in Houston, where it is based.
A statement sent to the Reporter-Telegram said approximately 16 percent of the company’s workforce in the Lower 48 states, including the Permian Basin, will be impacted by the cutbacks.
A specific number for ConocoPhillips’ Permian Basin workforce is not yet available. The statement said more will be known in the next several weeks as the company works through its formal process.
The statement concluded, “We are committed to treating all our employees with respect and fairness during this process.”
In a statement, ConocoPhillips said it’s making the cuts because the energy industry is in a “dramatic downturn.”
ConocoPhillips had 18,100 employees on June 30.
Oil prices have plunged because of a supply glut that built up as production increased and growth in the global economy slowed. The health of China’s economy, the second-largest in the world, is a dominant concern. In response to falling oil prices almost all energy companies have either cut spending on exploration or cut jobs, often both, and many have seen big drops in their stock prices. Oil and gas and drilling services companies have said they’ll cut tens of thousands of positions. The biggest oilfield service company, Schlumberger, is eliminating 20,000 jobs.
ConocoPhillips said in July that it lost $179 million in the second quarter because of the drop in oil prices. It said it was preparing for a period of lower and more volatile prices and also pared its spending forecasts. The company said Tuesday it is reducing spending and paring back deep water exploration work, but job cuts were also needed to make it stronger and more competitive.
ConocoPhillips stock declined $1.40, or 2.9 percent, to close at $47.75 Tuesday as the markets slumped. The company’s shares have fallen 41 percent over the last year and fell to their lowest prices in almost five years in August.
U.S. oil is trading around six-year lows. After a big three-day rebound, the price of U.S. oil fell 8 percent on Tuesday to close at $45.41 on weak manufacturing data from China. | <urn:uuid:fc91ce48-5537-46d4-ad28-d8ee424b13ab> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.mrt.com/business/energy/article/ConocoPhillips-plans-to-cut-10-percent-of-its-7412837.php | 2017-05-23T01:24:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607245.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523005639-20170523025639-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.9727 | 577 | [

siemens unveiled the fall line of its fashion phone set, the xelibri x5 through x8, this week. there are some pretty wild designs here. the x5, which siemens characterizes as “too hip for its own good,” is a very small dual-band gsm phone with a 4k color screen and 349 minutes talk/390 hour standby battery life in an 87x52x17 mm package. it has a novel clip design–like the plastic male and female clip on a backpack–and comes with a cloth strap with a female-to-female clip. the x6 is a round clamshell phone designed just for the ladies. it looks like a pocket mirror, and it is
a pocket mirror. inside the phone you'll find a small, 12-bit screen set in the mirror. the other half of the phone holds the keypad and a small magnifying mirror at the center. the x6 is also a dual-band gsm phone, offering 240 minutes talk/290 hour standby battery life and measuring 84x75x26 mm. x7 is, entirely, a clip. the phone itself is “u”-shaped, allowing you to clip it to a pocket for easy access. it's also dual-band gsm, and measures 105x46x26 mm, with the same battery life as the x6. finally we have the x8, a–say it with me–dual-band gsm phone. this design is quite small, not even offering enough room for a keypad. instead, the user relies on voice-commands for dialing. the x8 doubles as an fm radio, too, and offers 240 minutes talk/200 hour standby times in a tiny 91x56x23 mm. it comes with a gold (probably plated) clip and rope to hang the phone, presumably, around your neck. check out high-res pics of all the xelibri lineup at infosync
. i think it's cool to see what would be nothing more than concept phones at another outfit being sold in the commercial market. i'd really like to have the x5 or x7 … if one of them offered bluetooth and gprs. | <urn:uuid:ec125882-3461-45c8-b5e8-6e3830b94d7f> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://www.geek.com/mobile/siemens-fall-fashion-phone-line-553963/ | 2017-05-23T01:57:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607245.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523005639-20170523025639-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.957674 | 466 | [

Following last week’s disturbing final scene, those fans who didn’t bail on the show were rewarded with one of the series’ most devious characters finally getting some much-needed comeuppance and for one night at least, all was right in Westeros.
As Jon heads off to strike a peace treaty with The Wildlings, Master Aemon dies (his watch is now over) and Sam sees his circle of allies reduced dramatically in a day. Befitting a place filled with thieves, murderers and rapists, two Night’s Watch ‘brothers’ try to rape Gilly, but Sam arrives in time to be their punching bag before Jon’s direwolf, Ghost, scares them off.
Sam may not have many friends left at Castle Black but Ghost > 99% of The Night’s Watch. Sam’s bravery proves more than enough for Gilly and they finally consummate their relationship, which should put an even bigger target on Sam’s ample back.
I was most curious this week how the writers would follow up Ramsay raping Sansa and its impact on Sansa. Would she somehow be able to take this traumatic event and become empowered by it or would she be rendered a victim the rest of the season? Tonight at least disappointingly seemed to favor the latter as Sansa pleaded with Reek/Theon for aid asking him to light the candle in the tower to alert the remaining Stark allies in the North. Reek, of course, promptly snitches to Ramsay, who delights in showing Sansa that he flayed the old woman who offered aid to Sansa.
I hated how quickly Sansa was back to relying on others and how foolishly she gave up her one trump card to the same traitor who previously betrayed her family. There were two interesting notes from this segment though: Ramsay told Sansa that her bastard brother, Jon, is now the commander of the Night’s Watch, which seemed to give her some renewed hope that she has at least one more living relative and secondly, Sansa snagged a piece of stone to hopefully use as a weapon on either Reek or Ramsay.
The snowfall is of little consequence to Jon and the Night’s Watch and the Bolton army at Winterfell, but it’s seriously affecting Stannis’ forces who are losing horses and supplies to the harsh conditions. Ser Davos advises Stannis to retreat to Castle Black until winter ends, but Stannis realizes his campaign cannot afford another retreat so early in its infancy. They will continue on to Winterfell and either defeat the Boltons or die trying.
Still, Stannis could use some comfort in Melisandre’s visions. She assures him of victory, but to do so will require him, like Agamemnon with his daughter, Iphigenia, in ‘The Iliad,’ to sacrifice his daughter. Stannis is disgusted by the notion, but this is GOT so we shouldn’t be too surprised if Stannis reconsiders.
In Meereen, Daario isn’t feeling Danerys’ plan to marry Hizdahr and suggests she marry him instead and kill all the great masters. While a simple marriage of political convenience, it seems unlike this is going to go well for the mother of dragons. Things get even more complicated for her as she struggles to endure the brutal return of the pit fights and the lone survivor sheds his helmet to reveal the former traitor in her midst – Jorah.
Unlike Sansa, Dany’s mindset is far more ‘once a traitor, always a traitor’ and demands he be removed from her sight until Jorah says he has a gift for her and Tyrion emerges from the fighter quarters and introduces himself. If Dany plays her cards right — and that’s absolutely no guarantee — an alliance with Tyrion could dramatically shift the balance of power in her favor, but where the heck has Varys gone off to since Tyrion was seized?
In Dorne, Jaime speaks with Myrcella, who blows her ‘uncle’ off for not knowing her. Down in the prison, Bronn and the Sand Snakes are in separate cells. Tyene Sand reveals the blade she struck him with was poisonous and started stripping to (get his blood worked up for the poison to take affect?). Not sure where you fall on the creepy old man scale, but Rosabell Laurenti Sellers, the actress who plays Tyene, is 19. Tyene forces Bronn to say she’s the most beautiful woman in the world in order to get the antidote and after the very under duress acknowledgement, Tyene says he’s handsome too. Leering old man moment aside, this seemed like a random T&A display from the show for no good reason. Maybe some folks found it empowering, but it would have been much more impactful had Tyene not disrobed to have Bronn begging before her.
Olenna confronts the High Sparrow and as always, her scenes are the episode highlights. Olenna can’t figure out what makes the High Sparrow tick and not even the promise of money or threat of withholding grain to King’s Landing is enough to move him to free Margaery and Loras from prison. As she storms off, she gets a note from everyone’s favorite double-/triple-dealer Littlefinger.
Littlefinger tells her that Cersei cornered him about Loras and his brothel manager’s relationship. We finally get the last piece of Joffrey’s assassination spelled out as Olenna reminds Littlefinger that together they killed a king and if House Tyrell falls, she’s going to take Littlefinger down with them. Cool as ever, Littlefinger offers Olenna the same family-shattering weapon he provided Cersei: a young man. As the heroes have all but been killed off/been rendered powerless, Littlefinger is truly the only character now who clearly deserves and has earned the right to win the game of thrones as he seems to be the only one aware that the game has to be played from all angles with ever-shifting allegiances.
Cersei, meanwhile, can’t resist going down to Margaery’s cell to taunt her rival under the pretense of checking in on her. Cersei has overestimated her influence and her card far too much regarding the Faith Militant, who she mistakenly thinks are neatly tucked away in her back pocket.
She gets a rude awakening then as she’s led to the High Sparrow, who goes on about the confessions of one of his Faith Militant lackeys who has unburdened himself of his deviant ways and is now light as a feather. In walks Cersei’s cousin/former bedmate/current Faith Militant and finally Cersei realizes she’d given the gun and bullets to a person unimpressed with her power and perfectly willing to shoot. Cersei starts to head out, but a nun instead tosses her in a cell. Cersei shows she still doesn’t know when to give it a rest as she swears the nun is dead.
Finally Cersei gets what’s been coming to her ever since leading to our boy Ned Stark getting killed and she’s got no one to blame but herself. In the end, Cersei looks to have outplayed herself far, far away from the throne and by cutting King Tommen’s power out from under him in regards to the Faith Militant, her salvation looks bleak indeed. I loved it.
Next week: Jon kicks it with the Wildlings while Dany considers forgiving Jorah. | <urn:uuid:7888449f-33f6-45df-8fa7-c7116cf35912> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://lylesmoviefiles.com/2015/05/25/game-of-thrones-recap-s5-e7-the-gift/ | 2017-05-24T02:34:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607731.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524020456-20170524040456-00250.warc.gz | en | 0.96996 | 1,603 | [

Last week, I went to Dufferin Grove organic Farmer’s Market where there is still a good variety of local produce. I got a large Chinese cabbage, apples, potatoes, red onion, beets, fresh fennel, baby bok choy and a buttercup squash. Behind the red onion (see photo) is a piece of Maria’s delicious organic Spiced Fruitcake. I also bought greenhouse-grown coriander, homemade granola and buckwheat flour from one of the farmers. The radicchio and celery root are from the previous week and the carrots and burdock root are from Karma Food Coop (also local and organic).
I was surprised to see local greens. The farmer told me that greens can be covered with special sheets of plastic or burlap to protect them from the cold and extend the harvest season. The sheets are reusable.
Tonight, using the above greens, squash and red onion, I made a quick but tasty stew. I just fried the onion and squash for a few minutes in the bottom of a large pot, then added some spices, salt, a dried hot pepper, some black beans and water. Right near the end, I added chopped cabbage and bok choy.
How to turn a large pumpkin, into bountiful amounts of delicious food.
Natalie, who lives at the house, was given two pumpkins back in October – the kind that typically get used for Halloween then thrown in the garbage or composted. No one got around to carving them, so they sat on our front porch for a long time. The larger one was eventually conquered by squirrels. They slowly gnawed away at the thick skin until they had made a large enough hole to get inside and gather all the seeds. The other one was more or less spared. We brought it inside and put it in a cold room where it sat until a few days ago. I figured it was time to try to cook something out of it. I hate to see food go to waste.
It was a fair bit of work to chop it up, and separate out the seeds. I found a great recipe for roasting pumpkin seeds at recipezaar.com (an excellent site for peer rated recipes) that involved soaking the seeds in salted water, then roasting them. They turned out delicious!
Next, I used the seed soaking water as a soup base. I made a large soup with some of the cooked pumpkin pieces, greens, ginger, spices, fresh dried hot pepper (from our neighbour’s garden), lentils, and a few things that needed to be used up in the fridge. The soup is not shown in the picture above – it was eaten too quickly.
I still had a lot of pumpkin pieces, so I decided to have a go at making pumpkin pie filling to eat as a pudding. I found a promising recipe at recipezaar and tried it out. It tasted too bland so I doubled the spice. I also added some roasted chestnuts that we had on hand. I only used a third as much sweetener – maple syrup. Turned out great.
Tip: Typically these kind of recipes call for a food processor or blender. I don’t like using such devices as they are a lot of work to clean out. Instead I used a handheld blender (see photo), a very convenient tool for mixing stuff right in a pot or bowl. I also used it to turn the soup from chunky to smooth, right in the pot. | <urn:uuid:b96fe483-7704-4ba5-a7d9-ad2f24ac8713> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://deliciousearth.wordpress.com/tag/recipe/ | 2017-05-24T02:09:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607731.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20170524020456-20170524040456-00250.warc.gz | en | 0.973106 | 720 | [

My Top 5 Moments of 2016
30 Dec 2016
Well, belated Christmas wishes to everyone and hope that you all had a great time. It was very quiet over here and I ended up going to an Irish pub for Christmas lunch – even though I was definitely the only Irish person in there!
I’ve been keeping busy, though, and have been sticking to the regime of riding track work and then running for an hour and a half and swimming every day. I’m probably fitter than I have ever been but it remains as competitive as ever on the track. I’ve only ridden one favourite since i’ve been over here – but there could be a few more opportunities as some of the leading riders are suspended at the moment. New Year’s Eve looks like being a quiet one again as I have nine rides the following day!
As we approach the final days of 2016 I’ve been having a think back to some of the best moments of the year. It’s been a really good one and I was fortunate to make the shortlist recently for Flat Jockey of the Year at the Stobart Lesters. Here’s my top five highlights:
5) Pallasator at Sandown
Sir Mark Prescott tried calling me at 6.59 on the morning of the Henry II Stakes and thankfully I’d had chance to wake up by the time he rang again 10 minutes later! He set out exactly how he wanted me to ride Pallasator and I simply carried out his masterful instructions. I’ve always had such respect for him and this was one of my first rides for him. Therefore it was great to get a Group win for him and Qatar under the belt early in the season.
4) Blond Me in Turkey
I’d never been to Turkey before but we got such a great welcome and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Istanbul is a beautiful city, one that I would encourage anyone to visit, and obviously winning the Topkapi Trophy was the icing on the cake!
3) Poet’s Vanity at Newmarket
I thought this filly could be Group class when I rode her at Salisbury on her debut. It was really rewarding to then go on and win a competitive Group 2 on Future Champions Weekend for owners who have supported the Baldings for a long time. There has been a period when Andrew hasn’t had really decent horses, but the two-year-olds this year have had real strength in depth.
2) Celebration Mile Weekend at Goodwood
I was fortunate enough to ride a Group-race double at Goodwood in August on Lightning Spear and Opal Tiara. It’s a tricky course to ride and I got a particular kick from the latter’s success, as she was badly drawn and wasn’t that fancied. However, I was riding with plenty of confidence and everything went right on the day.
1) Simple Verse at Doncaster
There was no pressure going into the Park Hill Stakes and I rode Simple Verse with plenty of confidence. To win a Group 2 on her was vindicating and I knew she was flying as she moved so well down to post. Doncaster is genuinely my favourite track and I have had a lot of luck there. | <urn:uuid:4f85cb48-d64c-487e-9294-ba69259b79de> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://britishchampionsseries.com/blog/oisin-murphys-blog/top-5-moments-2016/ | 2017-05-25T01:30:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607960.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525010046-20170525030046-00582.warc.gz | en | 0.985185 | 688 | [

Medical Definition of Tylosis with esophageal cancer
Tylosis with esophageal cancer: A genetic disorder characterized by thickening (hyperkeratosis) of the palms and soles, white patches in the mouth (oral leukoplakia), and a very high risk of esophageal cancer. This is the only genetic syndrome known to predispose to squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. The risk of developing esophageal cancer is 95% by age 70. The syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The gene has been mapped to chromosome 17q25 but has not been identified. The syndrome is also called nonepidermolytic palmoplantar keratoderma.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

I just joined this forum today. It looks like it has a plethora of useful information. I am hoping someone might be able to help me out. I have a PLEOMAX 8GB Flash/Thumb drive that I've used for several years without issue. Just two days ago, I plugged it in and when the AutoPlay window popped up (Windows 7 x64 SP1), I clicked the "Open Folder to View Files" but it stopped responding (the window faded to white and said "(Not Responding)"). So I pulled the drive out manually and now when I plug it in, it is NOT recognized anywhere except in Device Manager as "CORNICE Mass USB Storage" or something like that. It doesn't work on other USB ports or on other computers (all of them show up on Device Manager but nowhere else). It doesn't even show up in Disk Management. I have some very important files on that drive that I need so what do I do to get the drive to work properly again? Please help! | <urn:uuid:014a20de-d9de-4f0f-a7b9-6efc1a68e9da> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/usb-flash-drive-not-recognized-cant-boot.178579/ | 2017-05-25T01:28:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607960.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20170525010046-20170525030046-00582.warc.gz | en | 0.963155 | 209 | [

To the Princeton Privileged Kid
By Violet Baudelaire
Privilege is when you get conscious or unconscious benefits from a demographic trait about yourself that you cannot control. These benefits may be overt (getting paid more as a man) or they may be covert (being able to walk down a street alone at night without fear of violence). I want to stress the last type of privilege. A privilege does not have to be something positive; it can simply be the lack of something negative.
Privilege is not personal. Privilege is institutional and cultural. It is macro. You have privilege because you are part of a group that has privilege. It is not because you are special or different or better in anyway (any more than those without privilege are not special or are worse in any way). This is going to be really hard for you to hear, and this is normally about the time where you're going to start railing and ranting about how you are at Princeton because you worked super hard and are naturally brilliant and wonderful. Maybe you are; and no one wants to take that away from you. Seriously - no one is saying that. But let's step back and remember once again, this isn't a personal conversation.
Checking your privilege doesn't mean anyone is asking you to say "I only have things because I am part of privileged groups". It does mean someone is asking you to say "By position of a characteristic I was born with, I have been helped, or at least not hurt, more than others without this characteristic". It does not mean anyone wants you to apologize for it; it does mean someone is asking for an acknowledgement of the implications of it, either for how it is impacted where you are now, how it might be skewing your perspective or level of knowledge in discussing a subject, or for how the lack of that same privilege may have made things different for someone else.
You may be in Princeton, but it seems like we should probably put this in really simple kindergarten examples for you. In the simplest, crudest metaphor I can think of, let's say you're a fully abled person in a race against a man with only one leg. You train a long time, run really fast, and beat him. No one is saying you shouldn't be proud of working hard or running so fast; all we're really asking for is that you admit that maybe having two legs fucking helped a little bit.
Using this metaphor, let's again break down some other arguments you can't really use. For instance, just because some one-legged people are faster than some two-legged people or manage to race doesn't mean that it is still not, on the whole, easier for two-legged people to walk and run. Again, privilege deals with macro level institutional and cultural ideas, not anecdata. If your grandfather only had one leg, but you had two, you don't get to claim that you do not have two-legged privilege. Having ancestors that endured hardships is important only if either you endure those same hardships or if those past hardships have continued on today in the form of discrimination based on your shared characteristics.
Tal Fortgang wrote an essay saying he's not sorry for being male and white--but who asked him to be?
By Mary Elizabeth Williams
In an April essay for the Princeton Tory that was republished last week in Time, the Ivy League freshman proved yet again why his university leads the nation in trolly op-eds by declaring authoritatively, “I have checked my privilege. I apologize for nothing.” Just what the world needs—more unrepentant affluent people. Unsurprisingly, the notion of a white male from an expensive school, a young man who likely has not personally experienced much racism and sexism in his life, using his already privileged platform to announce to the world that he disputes “that our nation runs on racist and sexist conspiracies,” was met with a mix of derisive laughter, fuming rage and well-articulated rebuttals.
Fortgang, a man for whom high school graduation is still a recent memory, is already world-weary of “the phrase, handed down by my moral superiors,” that he check his privilege. In his essay, Fortgang goes on to do just that, and decides he’s totally fine with his privilege, a privilege dearly paid for by the grit of his great-grandparents and grandparents, and the hard work of his father. He further mentions, by the way, “everything I have personally accomplished, all the hard work I have done in my life,” with no specifics. His piece has exactly the combination of naiveté and obnoxiousness you’d expect from a cocky white kid who pens essays that use the word “Weltanschauung.”
Right-wing wunderkind syndrome: What’s really behind the popularity of Tal Fortgang?
A Princeton freshman pens a defense of white privilege and gets famous. But why him? And why now?
By Peter Finocchiaro
This isn’t to say that Fortgang’s ignorance is justified. (Better writers than myself have already explained why it’s a huge, and emblematic, deficiency.) However, it is to say that Tal Fortgang is a young guy with, by all appearances, a comfortable and insular upbringing. And his relative dearth of empathy can at least partially be explained by that very fact.
Should he know better? Yes, of course. And all the many angry rebuttals are a necessary counterpoint. But again, there’s nothing new about the argument he’s making or the obstinate privilege he extols. He is an ignorant 19-year-old white guy from Westchester, and in that way he is wholly unremarkable.
Which begs the question: Why is Tal Fortgang a thing in the first place? Why did an essay he published in the Princeton Tory suddenly become a national news story? Why was it republished by Time magazine? People have been writing regrettable college op-eds since the beginning of time. So why him? And why now?
What really draws conservatives to Fortgang is an idea about what young people like him represent—that they don’t need to reassess their ideological assumptions on everything from gay marriage and immigration to inequality and systemic racism; that their attitudes actually aren’t out of touch with the times; that there’s still a future for their paleolithic worldview, because there are young people to carry that torch.
The 5 most regrettable student op-eds
Tal Fortgang is not the first undergrad to pen a polemic that will surely haunt him for many years to come
Princeton, check your privilege (or at least your PR strategy)
From Susan Patton to Tal Fortgang--what is going on at Princeton?
Comment: I posted the following in Facebook:
I'm a self-made man if you don't count the million dollars of housing, education, and healthcare I received.
That's not even hyperbole. I figure I got about a million dollars' worth of benefits in those areas over someone who's poor.

The WMA is proud to present this
2016 WebAward for Outstanding Achievement
in Web Development
Winner Name: Sametz Blackstone Associates
Award: Outstanding Website
Through its unique approach to experiential, interdisciplinary education—and with its ambitious students and world-class faculty—The Northeastern University College of Computer & Information Science (CCIS) represents the best in what computer science (CS) education can be. However, the College was not getting credit for its impressive activities and endeavors as its out-dated web presence largely obscured the College’s dynamism. We collaborated to: • Shine a light on the innovation and creativity happening across the college; • Change the narrative of computer science—it’s a diverse population, and it’s for everyone! • Paint a clearer picture of the real-world value of an interdisciplinary / experiential CS curriculum; • Elevate their world-class—and growing—faculty, and their cutting edge lab work; • Walk the walk as a College (within a competitive landscape where most CS programs are departments); • Leverage Boston as an entrepreneurial, health-care, academic, cultural, and finance hub—the perfect backdrop to a progressive CS education. We achieved these goals via a collaborative process that focused not only on gathering insights and setting priorities, but also on building consensus, enthusiasm, and buy-in as we worked our way across various sets of stakeholders. The information from our discovery phase informed a comprehensive re-imagining of their website from an IA/UX standpoint. Contemporary design, content informed by a new messaging framework, and newly commissioned photography brought the College—its people and their work—to life. The new homepage now better showcases the breadth and depth of activity across the college; key facts and figures highlighting CCIS’ growth and impact are easily accessible across all sections of the site; research areas are greatly expanded to included access to related faculty, research projects, publications and more. Faculty pages provide access to affiliated lab pages and projects as well—critically important in recruiting the best and brightest Masters and PhD students—as well as additional world class faculty. | <urn:uuid:6f9b0d06-d8a5-4fce-8fe5-4177e38e3c80> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.webaward.org/winner.asp?eid=32910 | 2017-05-27T06:17:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608870.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527055922-20170527075922-00468.warc.gz | en | 0.945711 | 439 | [

The reason Peter uses his powers responsibly is because he does not do anything to stop the burglar who ends up killing his uncle. This relates to people learning from their past mistakes and moving forward. This really relates to the people of the time period when Spider-Man came out. There was a lot of racism and sexism going on at the time. Consequently, people seeing Spider-Man move forward from something so drastic, helped them realize that they could move on from their past mistakes as well. | <urn:uuid:b9c0ffcf-c345-40de-9fe8-a6f99a1eca75> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | https://tackk.com/spidermanisamazing | 2017-05-27T06:19:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463608870.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20170527055922-20170527075922-00468.warc.gz | en | 0.988709 | 99 | [

|Also known as "Henry of Monmouth".|
Henry V is one of the kings who ruled during the latter half of the Hundred Years' War. He rose to political prominence during his childhood when his father usurped Richard II. He took part in the subjugation of Henry Percy's revolt and ordered several campaigns in France when he inherited the throne.
Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War calls him Hal (ハル) throughout the script as a reference to his portrayal in William Shakespeare's play, Henry IV.
Role in GameEdit
He is a mercenary employed by England.
Hal is a gaudy mercenary, foul-mouthed, and rough. He loves to quarrel and fight, and is a natural born fighter.
- "You would seek to best me in battle? How amusing!"
- "Why not return home now, lest you hinder real warriors!"
- "You have come to my aid? I thank you."
- "Impressive. Now allow me to better your efforts!"
- "The field of battle never fails to send the blood coursing through my veins!"
- "Does this battlefield hold no-one who may afford me a real challenge?"
- "Argh... How could I have been so careless..."
- "I could while away the entire day felling such idiots!"
- "This place is ours now!"
- "Slaughter them... slaughter them all!"
- "Here they come. This should prove somewhat diverting."
- "Lord Hal! You really must desist. You must stop risking your life on the front line."
- "And how, pray, should a fight in the rearguard afford me any diversion?"
- "Why must your criterion for judging all things be founded on enjoyment?"
- ~~Richard Beauchamp and Hal

The folks at Wrecked Magazine have started/elaborated on the rumor that Titan Motorsports would be turning towards drifting for 2011. With their dominance in sport compact drag racing and their expertise in all things horsepower and motorsports, it wouldn’t be a surprise that Titan would get their hands dirty in some sideways action. So instead of just hunting around, we went straight to our insider source at Titan Motorsports to get some of the details.
We expected to hear that Titan is working on a RWD-converted 2011 Scion tC sporting a 2JZ powerplant, given Titan Motorsports’ relationship with Scion in drag racing and their expertise with Supra tuning. Instead we’ve been informed that while Scion hasn’t completely shut the door on the deal, but they aren’t looking to add a third car to the series.
Titan is, however, looking to get involved and did confirm that they’re in talks with a current top 16 drifter. Our guess would be Frederick Aasbo, a Supra drifting expert. Even though Titan hasn’t confirmed that they’ll even be running a Toyota, our guess is they’ll still want to end up wit ha 2JZ in whatever they work with. That is unless an opposing OE manufacturer is willing to step in. Titan did confirm that they are open to various manufacturers if Toyota or Scion decide not to be involved.
So in summary? Titan Motorsports is definitely interested in getting into Formula Drift competition for 2011, but has no confirmed plans on driver or car. They are currently exploring manufacturer and tire support and while they’d love to continue building their relationship with Toyota and Scion, they are opened to exploring new platforms as well. | <urn:uuid:0d7e37a5-f727-424a-8fda-d469fa8d6ad3> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2010/09/titan-motorsports-looking-to-compete-in-formula-drift.html | 2017-05-28T12:50:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463609817.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20170528120617-20170528140617-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.963513 | 363 | [

The lower San Gabriel River is an urban watershed located on the border of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. It has a diversity of potential pollutant sources including five water reclamation plants (WRPs) that discharge treated wastewaters and more than 100 storm drains that discharge largely untreated urban runoff to the river. The goal of this study was to assess the magnitude of toxicity to Ceriodaphnia dubia throughout the lower San Gabriel River watershed during wet and dry weather, identify the responsible toxicants, and compare the magnitude of toxicity over time to evaluate the effectiveness of previous watershed management actions. Wet weather runoff was sampled from sites located at the end of the four main reaches of the lower San Gabriel River; Walnut Creek, San Jose Creek, Coyote Creek, and San Gabriel River mainstem. None of the samples collected over two wet seasons exhibited acute or chronic toxicity. Dry weather samples were tested from 16 locations distributed throughout the lower watershed for up to 18 months. None of the dry weather samples from Walnut Creek, San Jose Creek, or the San Gabriel River mainstem exhibited acute or chronic toxicity. Acute and chronic toxicity was intermittently measured in the Coyote Creek tributary. Toxicity identification evaluations suggested nonpolar organic constituents, likely diazinon and perhaps surfactants, as possible toxicants. Toxicity observed in this study was significantly reduced compared to a similar study of the watershed 12 years previously, especially in the San Gabriel River mainstem. Much of the reduction in toxicity was associated with upgrades in WRP treatment. Little to no change in toxicity was observed in Coyote Creek upstream of the WRP discharge where little to no control of dry weather urban runoff had occurred.

Isaiah 12:2 says, “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.” In our worship, do we do what we do simply because we like it, or are we bound to tradition? The music ministry of Calvary Bible Church exists primarily to bring praise, honor, and glory to our God. Each time music is presented during a service, God is the audience with the congregation participating or observing and, Lord willing, being edified.
Our music is conservative because we believe that God has called His people to be separated unto Him and from the world (Lev. 11:45; 1 Pet. 1:15-16). Therefore, music must reflect holiness, not worldliness, in sound, text, and presentation (Psalm 40:1-3). The primary purpose of music is to glorify God, and this cannot be accomplished when the music is contrary to His character. The second purpose of music, edification of man, cannot be accomplished when God is not glorified. Music is a moral issue that must be discerned correctly.
We strive to make our music fresh, interesting, and exciting, and we desire to fulfill God’s command by singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Eph. 5:19). Congregational singing plays a vital role in each service, and children, teens, and adults faithfully minister each week through choir, piano, organ, instruments, vocal groups, and solos. | <urn:uuid:2385a619-1bdd-4f5f-b6c7-ee5cb596444a> | CC-MAIN-2017-22 | http://cbclima.org/about-us/music/ | 2017-05-23T04:57:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-22/segments/1495463607369.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20170523045144-20170523065144-00279.warc.gz | en | 0.938518 | 332 | [

I like entrepreneurs. I like them because they are people of action. Where others fixate on the obstacles in their way, entrepreneurs see possibility. They may fail, yes, but at the least they are going to try.
I believe that entrepreneurs are a better hope for our economy than economic stimulus packages. As we have to compete in a growing global marketplace, it will be the entrepreneurs who will figure out how to compete.
I like them because we have several of them in our church. I love hearing the passion of small business owners like Fritz Greulich of Watkins Manufacturing. Fritz gave me a tour of his plant a couple of years ago, and I had a blast just listening to him show off his equipment. His company makes high-efficiency industrial saws ... a product that I know very little about. But Fritz' enthusiasm, like a boy scout showing off his newly earned Eagle award, was contagious. Here is a man who really enjoys what he's doing, and who is committed to creating a great working atmosphere for his employees.
Then we have people starting brand new businesses. Michael Maxwell opening Market Wines this week or John MacAlonan's Fire on the Ridge Hot Sauce. I'm intrigued by Joe Carter's experiment in entrepreneurial book publishing as well. Right now lots of people are engaging in brand new endeavors, and I'm excited for all of them.
I like entrepreneurs because I believe that we're called as Christians to build godly culture...and that includes godly business. When Genesis talks about being fruitful and multiplying, I believe that the fruitfulness entails being fruitful in our cultural output. Not just consuming things blindly for our own aggrandizement and satiation...rather, we create things that are useful, beautiful, lasting, and good. We are called to wisely steward our resources. Christian entrepreneurs can lead the way in these things.
For Christians don't have the right to just be in the business to make money. Our faith demands that our business be about something larger than ourselves. It is to be a vocation that ultimately brings glory to God...through quality....through taking good care of employees....through a concern for the broader community. And this kind of "social responsibility" isn't to be a gimmick designed to market the enterprise, but it is to be a natural outgrowth of our faith. Entrepreneurs can lead the way .... May God bless em.
