Another fantasy football suggestion...
Finding a RB mid-season in the waiver pool that touches the ball a lot is tough, so it is always wise to draft proper depth at that position.
I think one place to look for value is at the backfield in Indianapolis.
First, why should you consider a Colts RB?
This is the team that already has a strong passing game with QB Andrew Luck (7th in total passing yards in 2012) and WRs Reggie Wayne and T.Y. Hilton. They also acquired veteran speedster Darrius Heyward-Bey to try and stretch defenses. Also, new Offensive Coordinator Pep Hamilton managed a run-first attack at Stanford, so expect the Colts to do more pounding the ball this season.*
So which RB?
Three guys are vying to start.
Vick Ballard averaged over 20 carries in the last 4 games of the season, and finished with almost 1,000 total yards.
Despite battling nagging injuries last season, free-agent Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 6 touchdowns and over 1,200 total yards.
Before Ballard took over last season, former first-round draft pick Donald Brown was the starter.
I am not ready to make call as to which Colts runner will get the bulk of the carries this year, but training camp and the preseason should give us hints.
Being confident that Bradshaw (#51), Ballard (#111), and Brown (#285) are all value picks and one will most likely be the guy for Indy this year, should allow for me to draft a Colt and at the least offer my team adequate RB depth--with a potential upside of one being a weekly starter. *
*Note: The information on Pep Hamilton is from the Sporting News Fantasy Source and player draft rankings are from NFL.com. | <urn:uuid:31bd2a8d-aa91-4561-a02c-0fac634daf88> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://touchdownslamdunk.blogspot.com/2013/07/undervalued-colts-running-backs.html | 2017-11-25T07:34:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809695.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125071427-20171125091427-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.942475 | 363 | [

#beachbuddycobeachchair Beach Buddy
Get Yours HERE on Amazon
I am planning to sped a lot of time at the beach this summer so I was excited to get this Backpack Cooler Chair with storage pouch and lay flat bar Beach Chair. I love that it folds up and has the backpack type straps for easy carrying. Our 7 yr old can easily carry it, it is that light! I like that I can carry this as a backpack and still carry my beach umbrella and beach tote. I think this is very convenient when you have a lot of beach gear and kids to get to the beach. I like that the chair is comfortable and I especially like the pillow. I first tried it in the backyard since it is not quite beach season yet. I spent the afternoon lounging in this chair and was very comfortable and relaxed while reading my book. I like that it has a thermal compartment for cool drinks and a storage compartment for other items that I want to keep off the ground or off the sandy beach.
I received this product in exchange for a review. All my opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising. | <urn:uuid:30cd9fda-4083-4b2c-81b0-8b94facf799a> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.popularproductreviewsbyamy.com/2016/04/backpack-cooler-chair-with-storage.html | 2017-11-25T07:51:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809695.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125071427-20171125091427-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.972601 | 274 | [

TOTAL WORKER HEALTH® Exclusive
Building Professional Development for Total Worker Health
ADELE CHILDRESS, PhD, MSPH, NIOSH OFFICE FOR TOTAL WORKER HEALTH
Over the past 40 years, NIOSH and other organizations, such as the World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine have examined issues related to workforce development for professionals in occupational safety and health protection and health promotion. They have found a strong need in almost all health care disciplines to develop competent professionals with the skills and abilities to more comprehensively improve global and workplace health and well-being. This finding demonstrates an urgent, essential need to develop and support a more integrated approach to training and professional development.
This leads to the question: What skills and training are required to prepare professionals to address the complex challenges affecting the modern workplace? In a NIOSH-sponsored meeting of the extramurally funded Centers, for instance, many expressed that the current workforce training needs are in occupational health psychology. Dr. Martin Cherniack, co-director of the Center for Promotion of Health in the New England Workforce, cited an emerging need for revised curricula for physicians and nurses that reflect shifts in health care policy, as well as the importance of including occupational health in the training of environmental health and safety professionals.
The NIOSH Office for Total Worker Health is also examining this question and invites your input.
Current efforts by NIOSH, Centers of Excellence, and Others
NIOSH continues to support its mandate to protect workers’ safety and health through the education and training of professionals by means of workforce development programs. These programs occur extramurally, through research and training grants for academic institutions to establish multidisciplinary centers. Building upon this foundation of protecting worker safety and health and recognizing the gap in curriculum integration, the Office for TWH has begun defining key stakeholders for this issue and exploring training needs to equip health professionals to address issues related to the total worker health of employees and organizations. The Office for TWH is considering the cultural and economic nuances, differing objectives and organizational strategies, and complex interactions between the various stakeholders. The Office for TWH will be studying the implications of these factors for current and future practitioners of occupational safety and health, worksite health promotion, medicine, nursing, psychology, human resources and productivity management, and others.
Currently, NIOSH and the Centers of Excellence are providing various professional development opportunities. In February, NIOSH launched a Total Worker Health Webinar Series offering free continuing education credits (i.e., CEU, CNE, CME, and CHES) and providing the latest research and case studies on the integration of health protection and health promotion. The Harvard School of Public Health Center for Work, Health, and Well-being is offering its third course in January 2015, entitled “Work, Health, and Well-being: Integrating Wellness and Occupational Health and Safety in the Workplace.” In October at the 1st International Symposium to Advance Total Worker Health, Pre and Post Conference Workshops will offer state of the art strategies and implementation tools for creating enhanced cultures of safety and health.
Outside of NIOSH, leading academic institutions are also making strides in developing trainings and curricula that integrate health protection and health promotion. For instance, this fall, Western Kentucky University (highlighted in this issue’s Promising Practices) will be implementing a Master of Science and advanced certificate program that features an integrated curriculum with both occupational safety and health promotion components. The Colorado School of Public Health (CSPH) now offers two graduate-level courses relevant to Total Worker Health, including one titled “Health Protection and Health Promotion in the Workplace,” and another interdisciplinary course structured around NIOSH Total Worker Health principles that allows students to conduct onsite workplace assessments of community organizations’ health protection and health promotion programs.
To address the current total worker health knowledge gaps in workplaces, CSPH’s Center for Worker Health & Environment runs Health LinksTM Colorado, a community-based program that certifies, funds, and trains small businesses on evidence-based practices to implement sustainable workplace health and safety programs. Dr. Lee Newman of CSPH noted, “In the short run, we need to focus on the retraining of those individuals who are already engaging workers in health, safety, or both. The demand is high and the supply of trained professionals low. For the long term, we need to train future leaders in the field of TWH, who can innovate, conduct research, evaluate, and effectively disseminate knowledge, so that the field grows in credibility.”
Continue the conversation
As the concept and rationale for a Total Worker Health approach continues to evolve, the question remaining will be how to translate those findings into practice—particularly, how to build them into long-term educational plans to inform the development of the next generation of professionals in this field. This will entail more communication and collaboration across professions, educational and training programs, and health care systems.
Are you interested in contributing to the conversation on workforce development in person? The Office for TWH warmly welcomes you to join us at the forthcoming 1st International Symposium to Advance Total Worker Health, on October 6 – 8. The Symposium will feature an exclusive plenary and Q&A session with our panel of experts from the Centers of Excellence, on “Creating the First Generation of TWH Professionals.” Also, voice your opinions on our NIOSH Total Worker Health LinkedIn Group under the discussion: What are your thoughts on the main needs of and challenges in creating a workforce that can tackle total worker health issues?

The Future of Integrated Practice, Education: Western Kentucky University Curriculum
MICHELLE LEE, PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATE, NIOSH OFFICE FOR TOTAL WORKER HEALTH
Recognizing the emerging need for a workforce that can understand the potential synergy between safety, injury prevention, and wellness efforts, Western Kentucky University (WKU) has begun offering educational programs that encourage students to integrate health promotion into occupational safety and vice versa.
In fall 2014, WKU will offer a Master of Science in Environmental and Occupational Health Science, with both worksite wellness and safety components. In addition, an advanced certificate in worksite health promotion will be available that includes training on critical issues in health and safety.
Cecilia Watkins, who teaches worksite health promotion at WKU, has been one of the lead figures pushing for integration in the WKU curriculum. Each year she takes her students on a field trip to Logan Aluminum, a local business, but this year she brought along occupational safety and health students as well. Both sets of students attended presentations by Logan’s safety and wellness representatives.
In another example, students in Graduate Worksite Health Promotion are working collaboratively to develop a program integrating health protection and health promotion, using Logan as a case study. A key instructional resource in this elective has been The Whole Worker: Guidelines for Integrating Occupational Health and Safety with Workplace Wellness Programs, one of the resources featured on our Guidelines for Implementing TWH Programs webpage. For more information on developments related to integrated educational offerings at WKU, visit http://www.wku.edu/online/worksitehealth or email [email protected].
Rethinking the educational framework is only one important piece of current efforts toward integration in Kentucky. The Kentucky Department for Public Health Worksite Wellness Program and the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (KIPRC) at the University of Kentucky are bringing together the lead agencies and thinkers in the state for worksite wellness, injury prevention, and occupational safety and health, as well as strong linkages with small business. While these programs have long been strong in their own right, they are now taking bold, new steps to integrate health protection and health promotion for even better outcomes.
Editor’s note: For a broader look at total worker health workforce development across the nation, don’t miss this issue’s Total Worker Health Exclusive! For more information on what steps the state of Kentucky is taking toward integrating workplace safety with workplace wellness, be sure to check out last issue’s News from Our Partners!
A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that the quality of the work environment is a predictor of individual health behaviors. In support of this notion, the federal government is providing opportunities for advanced health and well-being in its own workforce. The purpose of this section is to spotlight ways in which the federal community is improving the health and safety of federal employees.

NIOSH Convenes 4th Annual National Expert Colloquium on TWH
The Fourth Annual National Expert Colloquium on Total Worker Health was convened by NIOSH on June 26 in Washington, DC. The NIOSH Office for TWH invited 16 experts to discuss current efforts and emerging issues related to the integration of health protection and health promotion in the workplace and beyond. Invited experts represented labor organizations (Laborers’ Health & Safety Fund of North America, Communication Workers of America, Kaiser Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions), private industry (General Electric, Alcoa, McCormick), academia (University of North Carolina, University of Michigan, NIOSH-funded Centers of Excellence to Promote a Healthier Workforce), and other leaders from around the globe (National Safety Council, American Association of Occupational Health Nurses, Clinton Health Matters Initiative, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation).
National Academies/Institute of Medicine Workshop on Total Worker Health: Presentations and audio now available
On Thursday, May 22 in Washington, DC, the Institute of Medicine convened a free public workshop, “Total Worker Health: Promising and Best Practices in the Integration of Occupational Safety and Health Protection and Health Promotion in the Workplace.” The NIOSH-funded workshop, chaired by Dr. Glorian Sorensen from the Harvard Center for Work, Health and Well-being, identified best or promising practices in the integration of occupational safety and health with health promotion in small, medium, and large workplaces. The keynote presentation was by Robert McLellan, Medical Director of the Live Well/Work Well program at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, who shared the steps Dartmouth-Hitchcock took toward an integrated approach. All of the presentations and audio recordings are available at www.iom.edu/Activities/Environment/TotalWorkerHealth/2014-MAY-22.aspx. The Institute of Medicine will publish a summary of the workshop by the end of the year. Of course, we’ll let you know as soon as it’s available.

Harvard Center for Work, Health, and Well-being
Psychosocial and physical workplace exposures can affect workers in many different ways. Two new scientific reports from the Harvard Center for Work, Health, and Well-being highlight the workplace exposures and experiences of patient care and construction workers:
- Caban-Martinez AJ, Lowe KA, Herrick R, Kenwood C, Gagne JJ, Becker JF, Schneider SP, Dennerlein JT, Sorensen G . Construction workers working in musculoskeletal pain and engaging in leisure-time physical activity: findings from a mixed-methods pilot study. Am J Ind Med 57(7):819–825. Results from this mixed-methods study suggest not only do construction workers engage in either moderate or vigorous leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) despite musculoskeletal pain but also that construction workers in pain engage in more LTPA than those without pain.
- Jacobsen H, Reme SE, Sembajwe G, Hopcia K, Stoddard A, Kenwood C, Stiles T, Sorensen G, Buxton O. Work-family conflict, psychological distress, and sleep deficiency among patient care workers. J Workplace Health Safety (in press). Findings from this study suggest that higher levels of work–family conflict are significantly associated with sleep deficiency and long-term sleep insufficiency.
- Harvard Center for Work, Health, and Well-being investigators Jack Dennerlein,PhD, and Deborah McLellan, PhD, were invited to present in May at the Brazilian Social Services for Industry (SESI) meeting in Brazil. Dr. Dennerlein’s presentation was entitled “Total Worker Health TM Approaches: Research to Practice through Industrial Collaboration”. Dr. McLellan presented “Total Worker Health TM Approaches: Promoting and Protecting Worker Health.”
University of Iowa Healthier Workforce Center for Excellence (HWCE)
As health care and health insurance costs increase sharply, employers and employees struggle to maintain quality of health care coverage and benefits. To address the need for baseline, evidence-based data on the statewide workforce, the University of Iowa Healthier Workforce Center for Excellence developed the Real Iowan Research Initiative (RIRI) with a goal of providing statewide employment sector estimates of health status, prevention, and productivity measures. A statewide survey of 1,602 Iowans included items from the CDC Quality-of-Life (QoL) and BRFSS prevention behavior questionnaires and was used to assess employee well-being. QoL and prevention behavior measures were related to absenteeism and presenteeism scores derived from the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ). Key findings include:
- Having higher QoL measures and having more prevention behaviors are strongly associated with lower absenteeism and lower presenteeism scores
- Employment status matters: the unemployed had poorer QoL scores and prevention behaviors
- QoL scores and prevention behaviors were much better for the self-employed than for those who were organizationally employed
The full article, Employment Status Matters—A Statewide Survey of Quality-of-Life, Prevention Behaviors, and Absenteeism and Presenteeism, was published on July 7 in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine. A commentary on this article by Martin Sepulveda, IBM Fellow and Vice President of Integrated Health Services for the IBM Corporation, is included in the issue.
News from our Partners
Dartmouth-Hitchcock, University of Colorado and NASA Join Total Worker Health as Inaugural Partners in Launch of Affiliate Program
To increase the number of work environments that support the overall safety, health and well-being of workers, NIOSH Office for Total Worker Health recently launched an Affiliate Program. Inaugural members leading the way for improved workplace and worker safety, health and well-being include the Dartmouth-Hitchcock, University of Colorado, School of Public Health and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s vision is to achieve the healthiest population possible, leading the transformation of health care in the Northeast U.S. region and setting the standard for our nation. The University of Colorado’s Center for Worker Health and Environment has a robust and growing continuing education program, public-private partnerships, and community-based initiative to integrate worksite health promotion and health protection.

New Publications Suggest using an Integrated Approach to Address Chronic Health Conditions at Work
Cancer Prevention and Worksite Health Promotion: Time to Join Forces, Preventing Chronic Disease, Vol. 11
Recently published in Preventing Chronic Disease, “Cancer Prevention and Worksite Health Promotion: Time to Join Forces,” is an essay that indicates a multifaceted approach to cancer prevention in the workplace is timely and needed. In this essay, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and NIOSH experts, including Drs. Casey Chosewood and Anita Schill and LCDR Heidi Hudson, share existing CDC resources that can be leveraged to expand the scope of workplace initiatives to address additional cancer risk factors and disparities. Included is an integrated approach to health protection and health promotion and linkages with community-based resources. Combined these resources can also provide ideas for new efforts to advance primary cancer prevention among working adults.
In this issue of MMWR, NIOSH’s Sara E. Luckhaupt, MD and Geoffrey M. Calvert, MD highlights that in workplace settings, cardiovascular disease can be addressed through Total Worker Health. To identify workers likely to benefit from these types of programs, CDC analyzed data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for the period 2008–2012 to estimate the prevalence of a history of coronary heart disease and/or stroke (CHD/stroke) among adults aged <55 years by selected characteristics, employment status, occupation category, and industry of employment.

Please join us on August 19 from 12:00pm to 1:30pm EDT with Dan Ganster, PhD and Leslie Hammer, PhD on the topic “Intervening for Work Stress: Work-life Stress and Total Worker Health Approaches.” Registration now open!

Drs. Dan Ganster and Leslie Hammer will discuss psychosocial stress at work and interventional approaches for alleviating it. Dan will briefly introduce the literature on psychosocial stress and well-being, focusing on key definitions and the working conditions implicated in worker mental and physical health. Then, he will discuss practical interventions that focus on removing or reducing stressors in the workplace. Using several examples of intervention studies, he will discuss key elements to incorporate when designing workplace interventions. He will also outline simple approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of such interventions.
Leslie will discuss more specifically the concept of work-life stress and its association with health, safety, well-being, and organizational outcomes. She will briefly review how comprehensive integrated solutions at both the occupational (health protection) and individual (health promotion) levels may be helpful in mitigating effects of work-life stress and improving health, consistent with the Total Worker Health approach. This presentation will review relationships between work-life stress and health to advance understanding of pathways between occupational and individual risk factors and health and safety outcomes.

How To Get Tested For Std Danville OH 43014
Do I Need a STD Test in Danville OH?
With millions of brand-new cases of infections every year in the US, STDs are a threat that everyone needs to know. While there are thousands of Sexually Transmitted Disease testing centers throughout America using anonymous Sexually Transmitted Disease testing, lots of individuals still do not understand under exactly what situations they should take a test. Here is a list of 5 occasions when detailed STD screening is essential; some of them are typical sense (after unguarded sex with a complete stranger, for example), however some times it isn’t really so simple …
You have a one night stand in Danville OH
Even if you took part in secured penetrative sex, you might still be at risk of infection – be conscious that some STDs, such as herpes, can be transferred through foreplay. Of course, if you have had unprotected penetrative sex with a complete stranger, you ought to strongly think about checking out a local Sexually Transmitted Disease screening clinic – if you are concerned about privacy, a number of them provide confidential STD screening.
You wish to have unprotected sex with a long term partner in Danville 43014
Prior to having unprotected sex with a partner, it is recommended that both you and your partner take some comprehensive Sexually Transmitted Disease tests. It is a common misunderstanding that the birth control pill safeguards versus sexually transmitted illness. While the pill does avoid pregnancy, it offers no security against STDs, and screening is recommended for both you and your partner before you participate in vulnerable sex. Lots of STDs can be totally asymptomatic, so even if you do not have any apparent signs does not mean you or your partner have not been exposed. It might not be very romantic, but STD screening at the start of a brand-new relationship is vital for safe health and comfort.
You are pregnant in Danville OH
Another unusual misconception is that pregnancy uses protection versus STDs. Comprehensive Sexually Transmitted Disease testing is normally standard treatment in pre-natal medical care at a number of points during the pregnancy – ask your OBGYN if you require further information.
You have 3 or more sexual partners in a single year in Danville OH
If you have 3 or more sexual partners in one year, it is highly advised that you go through detailed STD testing, even if you take part in safeguarded sex with all of them. It is also suggested that sexually active females under the age of 25 need to take a Chlamydia test a minimum of once a year, as the illness is incredibly typical and hardly ever reveals signs. If you are stressed about your tests appearing in insurance documents, numerous centers offer confidential Sexually Transmitted Disease testing.
You have injected drugs or steroids
While some Sexually transmitted diseases can just be contracted through direct sexual contact, HIV, hepatitis and a number of other STDs are transferred through contact with infected blood. The risk is particularly high with shared or formerly used needles, however if you have actually ever injected yourself with drugs or steroids you should go to a STD screening clinic to get checked.
STD Testing at a Glance Danville OH
You could be questioning if you require a test for sexually transmitted illness (STDs) or you may be questioning if your partner needs one. Or perhaps you are just interested in finding out more about STD testing. Whatever the reason might be, going to a STD clinic will be beneficial because they have all the necessary information you might inquire about testing for Sexually Transmitted Disease.
STD screening is done through various ways. When you go to a STD center to be tested for Sexually transmitted diseases, they would start by asking you questions about your threat aspects. After examining exactly what diseases you may be at danger for, they will check you for those conditions. Anybody with a new partner or numerous partners should be evaluated for chlamydia and gonorrhea, however screening for other STDs is generally done at the health professional’s discretion.
Lots of personal medical professionals do not evaluate for sexually transmitted diseases unless you specifically ask them to do so. That is why it is better to go to a STD center because they offer STD tests and are exclusively committed to this job. Their services are private and 100% trusted. You need to go to a Sexually Transmitted Disease screening center and ask your health care provider to provide you a STD test. Some people assume they will be evaluated for Sexually transmitted diseases when they have an examination for another reason when they visit their doctors and this is entirely false. STD tests are only done upon request unless you are suffering grave symptoms currently. Regrettably, a lot of Sexually transmitted diseases do not manifest symptoms up until they are far too late.
If you have symptoms of a STD, it is very important to be tested since you are not exactly sure if the signs are of a STD or something else. Common signs of Sexually transmitted diseases consist of sores, discharge from the genitals, itching, and burning feeling throughout urination or sexual intercourse. However, on must keep in mind that a lot of infections typically do not trigger any signs. Going to a STD clinic and getting regularly checked is the surest method to identify if you have a STD or not.
There are a great deal of Sexually transmitted diseases out there, and the types of STD treatment are as varied as their signs. Remember, nevertheless, if you think you have a Sexually Transmitted Disease, the only individual who can inform you that with confidence is your doctor. Treatment is decided based on what STD you have and depending on what suits your requirements the best. Going to Sexually Transmitted Disease centers and getting evaluated and dealt with early can conserve you a good deal of pain in the future.
For cases such as HIV, you should be tested at the first prenatal go to, and then once again in the third trimester. Women who were not evaluated throughout the course of their pregnancy should be rapidly evaluated at the time of shipment. Syphilis ought to likewise be evaluated at the very first prenatal see and throughout the 3rd trimester for high threat females only, and at the time of delivery. Go to a nearby Sexually Transmitted Disease testing website and request for these STD tests when you are pregnant.Where Do You Get Tested For Stds Danville OH 43014

Discussion in 'The Book of Souls' started by SinisterMinisterX, Aug 22, 2015.
Discuss your thoughts about "Death Or Glory" here!
So, what about it? Apparently, this will be about WW1 Triplanes. About time somebody tackled that subject in a proper heavy metal song. Maybe it will make me forget about Iced Earth's abomination.
Well, Bruce have triplane so it can be good.
This song has a very memorable pre-chorus. I liked it so much that thought it was the chorus! The chorus itself is also pretty strong. A solid opening of disc 2. Solos: D / A. This Dave solo was the only one I doubted about, I also thought of Adrian. The effects these boys are using make their solos sometimes sound more alike than usually.
Love the energy on this song, great opener for the second disc.
…but chorus is funny. And still - with this title they should puck this up.
Possibly my favorite new number. Both guitarists are going fucking crazy and so is Bruce! Aces High meets German power metal!
Really like this one. Love the guitar work. It is a straight forward but unusual song at thr same time. Heavy tune.
Probably my least favorite song from TBOS TBH.
I thought the song was pretty good, it wasn't as cheesy as I thought it would be. It feels too much like Montsegur though. And the lyric about Monkeys was weird. 7.5/10
Nothing more Metal than a Monkey out of Hell
About as conventional as a Maiden composition gets.
Drifter meets New Frontier!!
It will be awesome live. Music has some hints of Aces High - how great is that? Chorus at first sound little cheesy
Climb like monkey from hell
But it's as metal as it gets.
First listen: love it! A nice rocker! Love the slider solo by Adrian! Also funny stuff about the climbing monkey!
They have to play this live.
yeah, that's funny but it make more sense after reading interview with Bruce about his plane. This song for me is instant must-play on next tour. Aces High meet Silver Wings, this must be good live.
Alot of people complained (me included) when they decided to play AMOLAD live, but if there is any IM album i would like to hear all the way through live it's TBOS. they won't do anything like that again but my god it would be so great
It would be mind-blowing for sure. Personally - AMOLAD tour was one of the better tours in their career.
yeah i wont lie i liked it too but i wasn't happy when it was announced, they proved me wrong like they have so many time before, maybe i should start believing in the band more
This track is the best of the 2CD. Love it.

October 9: Symbolic day today. On October 9, 1944, three days before their departure, the Germans bombard Athens. Report: six dead and 22 wounded. Today, 68 years after, the Germans (Merkel), choose to make a show of strength in town again.
Merkel is in Athens. Merkel should be pleased to see that she came to do.
The Prime Minister will he present to her the real Greek figures. More than 1000 suicides, 2 million unemployed in a country of 11 million inhabitants, 500.000 homeless, utilities to the brink, children who fall into their schools because they have not eaten. .
This inspection visit shows that they wanted to Greece. She comes to sea the results of the genocidal economic experience. For Merkel and her friends, it is a success, people are on their knees at the edge of slavery. Except today, we are no longer in 1941 when the Wehrmacht officers occupants visited the Acropolis.
If Merkel decided hungry the Greeks and burn their villages, she can not do. For millions of us to know what is happening in Greece. We are millions to help Greece and Greeks. With new technologies, we know what is happening in Greece. And I say to the Greek people that he is not alone. We must continue to fight to save Greece and deliver this new occupation.
The experience of economic genocide must end.
Never touch a hair of a Greek man or woman.
Greece is the cradle of my civilization.
My heart is French, and my soul is Greek.
Greece live without occupants!
Shame on you Mrs. Merkel!

Once a month one of the local theaters has a program they call Passport to Culture. We have seen a few of the shows. Our favorite Chinese New Year show was a Passport to Culture show last year. I like them because an hour is about enough culture for me! I find opera, ballet, symphonies and even musicals quite boring. I am not very cultured!
This past Sunday it was a modern ballet show.
Anna was mesmerized through the whole first dance and when it was over she said, "I didn't like that grown-up dance!" What????? She then closed her eyes through the whole next dance.
In between dances, the dancers taught the kids how to make up dances.
They also learned the names of the different parts of a stage. Us old folks learned a thing or too!
Next month is drummers and we'll be there! | <urn:uuid:a8b77117-cf85-4d7e-ae09-520c17b475a7> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://arewethereyetcol.blogspot.com/2015/03/modern-ballet_7.html | 2017-11-20T17:15:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806086.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120164823-20171120184823-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.983526 | 182 | [

Center for History and New Media Launches National History Education Clearinghouse
Posted: May 19, 2008 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Mason’s Center for History and New Media (CHNM) has publicly launched the National History Education Clearinghouse, an online project that brings U.S. history teachers high-quality support and resources.
The clearinghouse is available to the public at teachinghistory.org.
In October 2007, the U.S. Department of Education awarded a $7 million contract (if fully funded over five years) to CHNM, in partnership with Stanford University, the American Historical Association and the National History Center. The new clearinghouse is funded specifically under the Teaching American History program, which was created to raise student achievement by improving teachers’ knowledge and understanding of traditional U.S. history.
The online project focuses on historical thinking and learning and is designed to help K-12 history teachers become more effective educators, thereby expanding student knowledge of U.S. history and its relevance to their daily lives and future.
The clearinghouse provides links to the most informative and comprehensive history content on the Internet. It also provides teaching tools and resources such as lesson plan reviews, guides to working with primary sources and models of exemplary classroom teaching.
The clearinghouse will link to a number of national history education organizations and associations. The web site is interactive, allowing teachers to ask questions, comment on topical issues and share information on what and how they teach.
“We are thrilled to play such a prominent role in helping K-12 U.S. history teachers and in bringing together the many communities involved in history education,” says Kelly Schrum, director of educational projects at CHNM and clearinghouse project co-director.
“The Teaching American History program and the clearinghouse demonstrate the federal government’s dedication to improving history education, and we know that the clearinghouse will continue to improve and educate as it develops.”
The web site, directed by Schrum and Sharon Leon at CHNM and Sam Wineburg and Daisy Martin at Stanford, is organized around seven features:
- history education news
- history content
- teaching materials
- best practices
- issues and research
- professional development
- Teaching American History grants
The clearinghouse uses the latest advances in digital technology to explore history teaching through interactive images as well as audio clips and videos of classroom teaching and historians discussing primary sources.
Offline support will include a yearly conference, a newsletter and an annual report on the state of history education in the United States. | <urn:uuid:d14e6736-bf91-49cf-a02e-4d9159ba73b7> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://gazette.gmu.edu/articles/12005 | 2017-11-20T17:31:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806086.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120164823-20171120184823-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.940251 | 540 | [

When I go to the grocery store, I tend to purchase much more than originally intended. To make matters worse, my usual grocery store seems to have more and more self-checkout registers every time I go. When I am ready to leave, my grocery cart is usually overflowing with items. Then I am expected to act like a cashier because I have to scan each item myself and finally pay a machine.
I estimate I spend an extra 12 hours a year in the grocery store working as a cashier at the self-checkout register. Imagine if I could simply walk up to the register and in a second, every item in my basket is instantaneously scanned without ever having to remove an item. Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology that could make that wish come true. In fact, RFID can be used in many situations when an asset needs to be tracked. Many organizations use barcode scanners to track IT assets; however, barcode scanners require someone to see the asset and then find the barcode so it can be scanned.
What is RFID?
Much like barcode tags, RFID tags contain a unique identifier. RFID tags need to be read by an RFID reader just like barcode tags need to be read by a barcode scanner. The difference is that RFID readers use radio frequencies to communicate with an RFID tag instead of a line-of-sight scanner. RFID tags come in two formats: Active and Passive.
Active RFID tags have a battery so they can be set to automatically broadcast the asset information using a radio signal on a regular interval. The signal is picked up by an RFID reader located in the area.
Passive RFID is when the tag is electrically charged when it is within range of the RFID reader, causing the chip in the RFID tag to power on, and send the tag’s unique hexadecimal value to the RFID reader. Passive RFID is commonly used to track assets as they enter or leave a dedicated area such as a room.
Can RFID technology help IT asset managers meet ITAM objectives?
To fully understand if RFID will help you with your ITAM objectives, it is important to understand how it works as well as its benefits and/or limitations. RFID capabilities include asset monitoring, asset tracking, checkpoint tracking, and bulk lifecycle updates.
1. Asset Monitoring
Asset monitoring requires “active RFID” so that assets can send the asset information to a dedicated RFID reader at regular intervals, which is important in an environment containing assets with sensitive information. Alerts can be set when critical assets stop reporting to the asset management system; however, the problem with active RFID is that the battery on the RFID tags will eventually need to be replaced. Dead batteries can result in a false “asset missing” alert.
2. Asset tracking
RFID provides the ability to instantly track assets within a building or room without having to scan individual assets, which will save IT administrators a great deal of time. I have witnessed IT employees walk through buildings scanning the barcodes of assets they can see. I have also seen inventory reports raise an alarm because some IT assets were not located using a barcode scanner due to human error. In one case, a laptop that was thought to be missing was simply locked in a drawer in someone’s office. If that laptop would have had an RFID tag, it would have been discovered by a mobile RFID scanner.
3. Checkpoint Tracking
Checkpoint tracking is the ability to log an asset when it passes through a doorway or a checkpoint. For example, IT assets with an RFID tag could be logged as they enter or leave a building. Organizations that have sensitive data on PCs or laptops can be notified if an asset passes through a checkpoint.
Organizations with employees that share IT assets, such as hospitals could benefit by using RFID tags. Checkpoint tracking can give administrators insight to their operational landscape by showing when and where IT assets are used. For example, assuming a nurse uses a tablet throughout the day, the hospital could track and measure the time each nurse spends with a patient or client during therapy, and how many rooms were visited by that nurse over a given period of time.
4. Bulk Lifecycle Updates
For IT asset administrators, RFID provides the ability to make bulk status changes to assets. For example, a room full of old laptops with RFID tags could instantly be changed to “decommissioned” without making contact with each IT asset. Making bulk asset lifecycle changes can be useful for IT service centers, loading docks, and receiving docks.
RFID tracking might not be for everyone doing IT asset management; however, there are some industries that could benefit from using RFID as part of their IT asset management solution. Educational institutions, medical institutions, police agencies, and manufacturing facilities are just a few examples where RFID technology could be helpful when operating an ITAM solution.

Coping with staff sickness
Curb non-genuine absence and get sick employees back to work sooner
Sickness absence - genuine or otherwise - can have a huge impact on profit and is especially problematic for small businesses. By putting effective policies in place you can help curb non-genuine absence and get sick employees back to work sooner, as Vicki Taylor finds out.
According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), sickness absence costs UK businesses �588 per employee per year - with each person taking an average of 9.1 days off sick.
Another study by law firm Peninsula found the vast majority of employees (94 per cent) admitted to "pulling a sickie" at some point during their career.
�Sickness absence costs UK businesses �588 per employee per year�
With this in mind, employers might feel within their rights to be suspicious when employees ring in sick. But, of course, not all absence is because of employees taking "sickies". In fact, Ben Willmott, employee relations adviser at the CIPD, says employers should remember that the "vast majority of absences are genuine".
However, he also recommends being vigilant and putting policies in place to deter unauthorised absence.
Communication is one of the key measures that can help employers stamp out non-genuine absence. And it should be remembered that while a person might not be medically unfit for work, some absences could indicate an underlying problem, which you are only likely to get to the bottom of by talking to your employees.
"It might be that the person is struggling with their work-life balance or having problems coping with their workload," Willmott explains.
All businesses should put a sickness absence policy in place, outlining expectations, such as when people have to phone in if they are unable to work or when a doctor's note will be required.
It can also pay to keep records of when people are off sick. "Look for patterns of short-term absence," advises Karen Talbot, director of business development at Company Health Limited, a private occupational health and safety provider.
Odd days off
�Frequent one-day absences might indicate that employees are taking unnecessary time off.�
Frequent one-day absences might indicate that employees are taking unnecessary time off, especially if these fall on specific days, such as a Monday or Friday or when the weather is nice, for example.
"Return-to-work interviews with people who have been off work can also act as a good deterrent and can result in a dramatic fall in short-term absence," Talbot adds.
These interviews are also recommended when employees have been off with genuine long-term illnesses, because they ensure that correct support and advice is given. "You need to know that you are not going to give an employee duties that are not within their medical capabilities or which could aggravate an existing illness," she explains.
There is also a lot to be said for making your company's position on sickness absence clear from day one. If employees know sickness absence is taken seriously, they are less likely to take unnecessary days off.
Something else you can do at the outset, Talbot believes, is to carry out pre-employment health checks.
"This is legally sound, but it is highly advisable to enlist the help of an occupational health professional to make sure the questions you ask are non-discriminatory and that they are assessed by a qualified person.
"It can be extremely beneficial, because if you discover someone has a history of back pain, for example, you would think twice about giving them heavy lifting to do without assessing the extent of their complaint and ensuring that a risk assessment in the workplace has been carried out. It also sends out the message that you are proactive when it comes to managing sickness absence." | <urn:uuid:9b78c628-2641-4cf2-9948-747f546316fb> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://bcentral.co.uk/people/goodboss/dealing-with-staff-sickness-absence.mspx.html | 2017-11-22T07:28:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806509.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122065449-20171122085449-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.967299 | 791 | [

Part of this post might come off in classic Kenyan Reality style (See the last paragraph, white font here): scarcity of details and the only take-away is that things are a bit out of balance, in a negative way.
I only made New Year resolutions in early 2005, the same year I resolved to keep a diary from that year onwards. Then I lost the diary sometimes before June, and decided never to keep one anymore. In a shared house with no personal space, it was too risky to have the wrong pairs of eyes reading it. Because I wrote about my interactions with people, some of whom I was living with.
Learning how to live with people while minimizing conflicts has been a journey for me. I can't say what I achieved what year, and definitely don't remember 'resolving' to learn how to coexist with others peacefully.
Anyway, last week there was an in incident that led to a few awake-at-night moments. And there are two others that kept me awake last night. In one, I’ll my know my fate by Feb 9th. . Still, I need to come up with a plan B for the result because I have a deadline to meet by the 15th. The other is a process that needs a lot of my effort, and favour from God. The effort needed to resolve the first issue includes such things as: patience, resolve, mutual understanding, giving and receiving respect and dignity, and even levelling expectations. And of all things, commitment. No, the other party is not even remotely a romantic partner.
There was a time that I had so much faith in God that all I would do was give my best in whatever depended on me, pray, chill, change strategy whenever need arose. These days, I’m taking things quite personally. Even being a bit sceptical on God’s intervention (to use a trending topic, think the Haiti earthquake, His omnipotence, and their faith in Him). Only that it’s all been to my detriment. I would never lose sleep over stuff. I’m so going back to my former way of dealing with everything! It doesn’t all make sense all the time, but it works for me.
Here are some 20 easy ways you can reduce daily stress. I guess, in life, you can reduce stress by better planning and anticipating stuff. And for me, praying.
Why I’m not voting tomorrow - As you all know, I was incredibly disappointed by the fact that I couldn’t vote in the last election on August 8th because I’d lost my national ID card. Wh...

That Sprint commercial
I posted about this on the Curespotting page a few weeks ago, but this article from Stereogum (also at Spin) seems to be the first time people have really noticed it. So I'm posting it on the front page for anyone else who might have missed it the first time.

So this week was good!! Mostly. some fun....eh, more or less fun stuff happened. We are running into bigger and bigger problems with the branch, its now ridiculous. We had been progressing very well, but last week was terrible. We had 14 people in sacrament and we started with us four and three investigators, one and possibly one more will be getting baptized this week. It has been rough. We are starting to work in a part of our area called an Aldea, its like a little tiny pueblo. Smaller than towns. It is 45 minutes to get to the entrance walking, about 15 by bus. And then it is an hour and a half to get to the people there. Missionaries most likely have never ever been there before, and we found all sorts of fruits waiting to happen. There is an evangelical church there, but the writing on the church says ebangelical. That is a really common error here, the b for the v, and all sorts of that stuff. But seriously, the pastor writes it like that, and they go to listen to him?? It´s like finding a hair in your food, it makes you nervous to eat the rest of it (plenty of times here). A church with that title makes me nervous to go into it. but we find lots of people there who are willing to go, but it being so far away makes it really hard for them to go to church. So we are going to see what we can do to help there. We find a lot of really good people in really remote places here, so it makes it hard to work. But we are going to troubleshoot to see what we can do to get them there.
Other than that, we have one baptism coming for this week, Fran, or el pato. He came to church on Sunday, and he is golden. We just have to throw him in the water!!! I think he might be scared of drowning, but we should be okay with that. I know I already said it, but teaching him has helped me to see that the gospel is for really everyone. We are excited to see this happen.
Poor Luis, as well. He has a 16 year old daughter that was living with a dude in Teguc. Well, they went to see them, and he decided that the guy wasn´t taking care of his daughter the way that he should be, so he brought her here. Holy cow, I have not seen a more angry and anti social teenager in my life. She is super angry, and I think I know why. Its one of those that she wants to be treated like an adult but doesn´t want to act like one. Granted a 16 year old girl shouldn´t be living with a dude anyways, but still. At least she isn´t a mom. I will say that. makes me realize that the commandments are really to protect us, and to keep us safe. 16 and ¨in love¨. yeah right. President Kimball said something to the effect of when we think its love, lust often times sneaks in the back door. Law of chastity, folks. Live it. It does you worlds of good.
Speaking of that law, I had the opportunity to teach it many times this week, and I thought of something...okay, I fully came to realize something incredibly true. WE HAVE THE POWER OF GOD TO CREATE LIFE. Like Elder Bednar talked about last conference. God gave us part of his power to procreate. It is something so INCREDIBLY sacred. Shouldn´t something that sacred be treated correctly??? And here, Its amazing how mistreated that power is. Its like the two national past times here are soccer and fornication. Sorry for how that's worded, but that is what it is. Y lo siento a los de honduras que los estan leyendo en mi blog, pero en serio. Its nuts here. This country will never truly leave third world status until all that breaking of this law stops. It is impossible. This is still the promised land, and the promises still apply because they are living here, but if they don´t keep the commandments, they will keep living the way they are. Its not all their fault, some of it is ignorance, but still, they are breaking laws of the land, let alone laws of God. Until this changes a little, they will be the same.
Different notes. Happy birthday Erin!!! May you have many more. Cody, tough one on SBO, but you will get SCO. and good luck with the music stuff. Mas, you just are permanently hurt in one way shape or form, aren´t ya? haha. dad, thanks for the tips, I will try to see what I can do.
We climbed a mountain for pday today. It is huge. took us two hours to scale and climb and then 30 minutes to come down. It was honestly so legit. I loved it. Super tired, but glad I did it. I made a video up there, and you will see it when the card gets up there... most likely with me. but it was so COOL!!! Total Indiana Jones mixed with Nephite and Lamanite history, because I can totally imagine this being part of the Book of Mormon. it was so cool. I am sweating a ton, cause it was hot. We took sandwiches and some water and some chips and just chilled for a while. It was sweet. I am glad to be down though. Helped me to realized that this planet is incredibly beautiful, and that I am in God´s creations. Love it.
That´s pretty much it. Enjoy the photos!!!
Love you all!!!

Sunday , March 19, 2017 - 5:30 AM
When I was growing up, my father subscribed to at least three newspapers that were delivered to our home. One paper would come in the morning, one in the evening, and then there was the weekly local paper, which covered local events that came in the mail. The local paper was often the most exciting because you likely knew or recognized some of the people who wrote for it from around town, and chances were good you, or people you knew, would appear in it some day. The Weekly Reflex, as a stand-alone publication, ran from 1904 to 1978.
The speed at which we receive our news and information has increased at a prodigious rate. Twitter gives us real-time updates on the Jazz game. Facebook fully chronicles the high school football game from multiple viewpoints. Instagram turns everyone into a photographer. What we've gained in speed corresponds to an increase in the volume of information available. Just one precocious, tech-savvy teenager could easily match the output of the old Weekly Reflex in a single day.
Television has undergone a similar transition. Now you watch what you want, when you want. News at 5 and 10 has become a constant 24-hour news cycle to watch whenever you wish.
I could go on, chronicling the changes in how we get our news, but I’d sound like an old curmudgeon, bemoaning technological change — and that isn’t the case. The changes are directly responsible for my opportunity to write a column for the Standard (the paper that used to come in the morning). The changes are responsible for my ability to use original governmental source material to cover everything from President Donald Trump’s executive orders, to the Utah Legislature, to Supreme Court decisions in order to address legal issues that are timely and relevant.
The problem? There's too much. Dozens of pending lawsuits across the country are being fought over the executive order banning travel from six Muslim countries. Numerous cases are being argued and decided at the Supreme Court, almost none of which any of us know about. I’ve only been able to read about 10 of the 535 new laws passed in Utah this year. Even regular old lawsuits can be overwhelming. A narrow area of law like contract disputes has more than two dozen lawsuits already filed this year in Weber County alone.
As I struggled on what and where to focus my attention this week, I was overwhelmed with the sheer volume of relevant and important legal stories — sort of like the paralysis of trying to pick something out of all the five-star movies you’ve placed in your Netflix queue. I try to tap into my inner psychic, hoping to find a story that will captivate you, my audience. What legal story will you find interesting? I know I shouldn’t write about the Microsoft lawsuit in front of the Supreme Court to determine the procedural rules for appealing the denial of the certification of a class-action at the trial court. The inner lawyer in me geeks out about things like that, but that's usually a clue that the information would be baffling and boring to most people.
So what is the most relevant legal news? Like the old Weekly Reflex, the things that are most interesting are things that impact our own lives. In all of the complexity of the legal system, when the law injects itself into our lives, then that law, that judicial ruling, that lawsuit, becomes an important legal issue to us.
People come into my office every day, and the only legal news that's really important to them is how the law impacts them at that moment, or in the future. Nothing else matters, but by the time they come to me looking for advice, the law has been in place for decades. The legal system permeates our lives, and we live within the atmosphere it creates, but rarely does it show up in a newspaper.
You can take three newspapers, you can scour the Internet, watch Fox, CNN, and MSNBC, set Google alerts and be vigilant, but even with that kind of diligence, you won't be able to keep up with all the changes, all the cogs running in the complex clockworks of the law and its impact on the world at large. But the legal system impacts us, whether we read about it or not.
When the Legislature passes a law or a court issues a ruling, the impact reverberates throughout our lives, just as if it was delivered to our doorstep with the precision and punctuality of an expert paper boy or girl, an early morning news carrier who tosses the black and white bundle right onto our porches, the red elastic band surrounding vital information we crave — information about the world we care about the most: our own.

A FREE WOMAN
Before Chanel became Coco, she was Gabrielle. A woman in love – passionate, defiant and, above all, independent. Today, Kristen Stewart follows in her footsteps, and carves out a unique path of her own
Kristen Stewart follows in Gabrielle Chanel’s footsteps and carves a unique path of her own.
“Ihave chosen the person I wanted to be and am.” said Gabrielle Chanel.
Those words could have easily been uttered by Kristen Stewart herself, who has been the ambassador of the house since
2013. According to Thomas du Pré Saint-Maur, Chanel’s Artistic Director of Beauty, Kristen exemplifies eternal insubordination. She is modern, magnetic, and in absolute control of her body and spirit.
In a recent press interview, Kristen stated decidedly that she had a very developed sense of smell, and did not easily take to perfumes. However, she is drawn to Gabrielle de Chanel in particular – a perfume which exudes a harmonious balance of audacity and discretion, and one that “doesn’t speak loudly, but hears”. “A good fragrance should be like a dress”, said the actress – something you don’t exactly plan on wearing, but when you do, it brings out a whole other side of you that you never knew existed.
Growing up in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles where orange blossoms bloom in abundance, Kristen immediately picked up this nostalgic sweet and citrusy scent whilst visiting the Chanel perfume laboratory – an element which is ever present in the new Gabrielle fragrance.
When asked what she had in common with Gabrielle, Kristen remained humble and modest, and could not even think about comparing herself to such an icon. Gabrielle was such a pioneer of change, and went against the societal conventions and traditional mindsets of her time. “I can only wish that I can one day project myself in the same way she did,” she said.
Kristen has expressed strong political views since Donald Trump’s election. However, she doesn’t claim to know everything, and neither does she pretend to be a rebel. Kristen is a woman who speaks her mind, and isn’t afraid to stand up for her convictions. “I have confidence in this new generation – my generation,” she said passionately. Without the weight of traditions and constricting mindsets, and by basing our convictions upon good and sincere intentions, we open ourselves to positive progress and pave the way for a peaceful, understanding society.
When it comes to femininity and what it represents, Kristen views women as strong independent individuals who are able to hold their own, while maintaining a cool and gentle composure. You don’t have to be loud to make a statement – there is strength and beauty in being discreet too.
The new Gabrielle de Chanel is subtle, yet audacious. Orchestrated by perfumer Olivier Polge, the fragrance is a passionate symphony of sensual ylang ylang, jasmine, orange blossoms and white musk, lifted by fresh notes of grapefruit and blackcurrant.

The state of K-12 computer science
February 9, 2017 – We begin each year with a look at the K-12 computer science landscape – whether the direct impact of Code.org and our partners, or the indirect and sometimes unrelated impact of other global efforts that share our vision.
It’s been three and a half years since Code.org hired our first employee. We’ve been humbled to watch the world’s education system embrace computer science, at an ever-accelerating pace.
During this short time, 11 countries, 31 U.S. states, and over 120 U.S. cities and school districts have announced efforts to expand access to computer science as part of the K-12 curriculum; the new Advanced Placement (AP) Computer Science Principles course has launched in over 2,000 classrooms; over 50,000 U.S. teachers have attended workshops to begin teaching computer science; over 500,000 teachers globally have begun teaching computer science classes to over 16 million students; diversity in computer science classrooms has improved for two years in a row; the Hour of Code has surpassed 350 million served – reaching one out of every 10 students on the planet; and 8 Presidents and Prime Ministers have hosted events to inspire millions more to join this teacher-powered movement.
To be clear, this isn’t the work of Code.org alone. We’ve had the support of hundreds of partners, and hundreds of thousands of educators, globally. Many of them began this work years before we existed. The international momentum is led by partners who share our mission in other countries. And in the U.S., this movement has had the bipartisan support of the federal government as well as most state governments. Our largest donors – Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Infosys, and Omidyar Network – deserve special recognition for funding not only Code.org but also the other nonprofits working towards the same goal, globally. We are thankful for all the efforts that share our mission.
When we launched Code.org in 2013, it seemed impossible to change the entire education system. Although we still have a long way to go, 2016 was yet another record year, making us more confident than ever in our ability to realize our vision – that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science.
“I've never seen a nonprofit have an impact as large as this, in a timeframe as short as this. Just incredible.”
Charles Best, Founder & CEO, DonorsChoose.org

Diversity in our classrooms
Addressing diversity in K-12 computer science is core to our mission. We all know the technology sector as a whole has a diversity problem, caused by a variety of factors. Our focus is on one piece of the problem, the education pipeline, where historically only 20~25% of students are female, and 13~15% are underrepresented minorities. By contrast, the students across Code.org classrooms are far more balanced across gender, race, and also socioeconomic status.
This is partly because teachers integrate our courses into classrooms that are already diverse, and partly because we incorporate a focus on diversity throughout our work.
For example, we published a study of 8,000 students who took a survey right before and after trying our tutorials. Among female high school students, the number who agreed with the statement “I like computer science” jumped from 55% to 75% from just one session of using Code.org’s Hour of Code activities.
“Thank you for this year’s Hour of Code video. It includes many futbol players that my hispanic students know of and look up to strongly. When they saw the futbol players come on the screen, their faces just exploded with excitement! You could see them mouthing ‘That’s so and so!’ and tapping their friends on their shoulders and saying ‘Do you KNOW who that IS?!’ When it was time for them to start the Hour of Code, they were the first ones to their computers, and were excited to work, all because they saw their role models in the introduction video. It brings tears of happiness to my eyes seeing my students so excited. It’s a spark in them that I have never seen, and that I hope to continue seeing in the future."
Kenny Courter, Hamilton Crossing Elementary, Georgia
As another example, consider our Computer Science Principles course, designed for the new AP Computer Science exam. Traditionally, AP Computer Science is dominated by white and Asian males, with at most 15% underrepresented minorities. In our 512 classrooms, 49% of the students are underrepresented minorities – which adds up to more students than the entire nation’s AP computer science exam participation in 2016.
In the 3 years since we launched our Code Studio coding platform, 1/10 of all students on the planet have engaged in our computer science courses, making Code Studio the most broadly used curriculum in computer science. Of course, millions of these students are “drive-by” users. What matters more to us is how many teachers incorporate our lessons into their classrooms, and what their students learn.
Measuring by registered students, registered teachers, or monthly activity, Code Studio has doubled in scale in the last 12 months. But instead of measuring logins or page-views, in the last year, we embarked on creating a new metric of success. We began counting students who demonstrate “basic coding proficiency” in our CS Fundamentals course using a definition which we created based on student success at coding challenges. The chart below shows how many students demonstrated this proficiency at different levels of difficulty. (This is our first stab at measuring student proficiency, and we have a lot of work to improve it.)
The secret behind our growth is simple: teachers recommend our courses to other teachers. One way to measure this is with the Net Promoter methodology: we score 85 among teachers, which is outstanding. This high score is supported by the testimonials we hear from teachers in classrooms.
“Today’s project was a slam dunk for students. Students came in right away and started talking about the project before the bell ever rang. In fact, when I tried to ‘start’ the class – most of the students that I was trying to quiet were actually talking about the project.”
Kaitie O'Bryan, Mounds View High School, Minnesota
Computer Science Principles
Example high school classroom project, using turtle-drawing commands
In the 2016-17 school year, we formally launched our App Lab app-making tool, and began scaling our new College Board endorsed Computer Science Principles course to prepare for a new AP exam. Computer science is already the fastest-growing AP course offered by the College Board, having almost doubled since Code.org launched. With this year’s new exam, 2017 is poised to be its biggest year yet. There are 2,600 schools participating in the new exam, according to the College Board audit. Among schools using College Board endorsed curricula, 55% are using Code.org’s CS Principles course.
More than 75,000 students have interacted with our CS Principles course this school year. Our focus is the 512 classrooms of teachers in our professional learning program.
These classrooms have 18,615 students enrolled, of which 5,721 are female students, and 9,083 are underrepresented minorities. If these students all take the exam, we have the opportunity to double the number of underrepresented minorities in AP computer science in just one year.
“We need more of this. Education needs more of this.
‘This is crazy fun, Mr Feller. I’m pretty much going to tell all of my friends to take this class.’ That’s from one of my AP CS Principles students.
Thank you for developing the curriculum that you have developed. Thank you for ACTUALLY having a very profound effect on education instead of just saying you wanted to do it.”
Justin Feller, CS Teacher, South Broward High School, Florida
Our work with America's educators & schools
In 2016 Code.org’s professional learning and school outreach programs accelerated in every dimension. We hosted 4 large professional learning conferences for educators, with stellar feedback. And we grew our network of regional partners and expert facilitators – this network will provide the backbone for the future growth of K-12 computer science.
And above all, across all our programs, we passed a new milestone: 52,000 computer science teachers have been prepared by Code.org.
52,000 computer science teachers prepared by Code.org
Most of these are elementary school teachers who will begin teaching 10-20 hours of computer science per year. But thousands of them are high school teachers teaching a year-long computer science class. More importantly, the feedback from our professional learning workshops is uniformly fantastic. The vast majority of teachers attending these workshops rank them the “best professional development” they’ve ever experienced. This is partly because America’s teachers want to learn and teach computer science, and partly because of the amazing passion of our expert facilitators.
“I do not have a computer science background. I went through the training pilot for CS Discoveries. I would change nothing about the training. It was an incredible experience, and I felt valued and respected as a teacher and facilitator. I would absolutely recommend anything Code.org has to offer to any teacher. Period. The lesson plans are incredible.”
Renee Coley, English teacher, Hannah Ashton Middle School, Ohio
31 states are embracing computer science
While most of Code.org’s staff and resources are focused on implementing computer science programs in schools, we have a small, crack team working on changing government policies to support, expand, and sustain K-12 computer science. This effort wouldn’t be possible without our coalition partners (especially Microsoft and the College Board), and our many local champions deserve the real credit for driving local change.
Our state policy work focuses on 9 ideas we urge every state to consider. Below, we highlight our impact across 3 of these that are easiest to measure.
|Policy area||Policy changed since 2013|
High school graduation policy
States that have changed policies to allow rigorous CS courses to satisfy core high school graduation requirements
|AL, AZ, AR, CA, CO, FL, ID, IL, KY, LA, MD, MN, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WA, WV, WI|
Establishing state-level standards for CS
States that have developed or are in the process of developing state education standards for computer science
|AR, CA, CO, FL, ID, IN, MA, NJ, SC, TX, VA, WA, WI, and WV.
States that are evaluating developing standards: AL, DE, MD, MT, OK, and RI.
Funding for CS
States that have allocated funding specifically to K-12 computer science
|AR, AZ, GA, ID, MA, RI, UT, VA, WA.
These states have allocated $13.01M in total
Throughout 2016 we saw growing momentum for computer science among local governments beyond just the policy measures listed above. Chicago Public Schools became the first major school district to make computer science a graduation requirement for all students. The US Conference of Mayors proposed a resolution (sponsored by the mayors of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and Baltimore) to expand computer science in schools.
Last but not least, we launched the Governors for CS partnership, bringing together the governors of Arkansas, Washington, Rhode Island, Iowa, Virginia, Idaho, and Nevada to build plans for K-12 computer science with more governors to join in 2017.
The K-12 Computer Science Framework
After over a year of work by fourteen states and four school districts, dozens of writers and advisors, and leaders in corporate, nonprofit, and education sectors, the K-12 Computer Science Framework was launched in October with broad support.
The framework offers a set of guidelines that could be used to inform the development of standards, curriculum, and computer science pathways, and also help school systems build capacity for teaching computer science.
The impact of all the experts and organizations who came together to create the Framework will be felt for years to come. In December, we hosted 22 state teams to plan implementation work, and we will continue similar convenings to build on the momentum. In addition, in 2016, ETS announced it will create a new Praxis exam for credentialing teachers in computer science, and Pearson is working on a similar exam – both informed by the Framework.
“I started as one of the teachers who knew the least about CS. I never taught it or learned it myself. But the support I got from all over, and the ease of the curriculum, made me more engaged. Now I am equipped to start teaching it.”
Casey Bethel, now teaching CS Principles at New Manchester High School, Georgia
The global picture and the Hour of Code
2016 was the biggest year ever for the Hour of Code, which has now surpassed 350 million “served.” This year, Code.org handed important reins of the campaign to the education community: We gave a committee and review board the responsibility of setting the guidelines and rating the recommended activities.
Hundreds of global nonprofits, corporations, and government agencies supported the campaign. From the new tutorials launched by Disney, Microsoft, and Google, to the activities and promotions hosted at Facebook offices and Apple stores, to the thousands of industry volunteers from other companies, the collaboration was amazing. Our own web site hummed along more smoothly than ever, thanks to the support of Amazon Web Services.
The global campaign was launched by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. And the world’s greatest athletes supported this year’s Hour of Code with a special inspirational video for students.
Eight presidents and prime ministers around the world have now hosted symbolic events to inspire students and educators to try computer science.
The global Hour of Code campaign has established Computer Science Education Week as a fixture in hundreds of thousands of schools, each year recruiting tens of millions of new students and hundreds of thousands of teachers to try computer science. The work of our global partners has also helped build global momentum for computer science.
In 2016, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Ireland, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia followed the lead set by UK, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Australia, and Italy to announce plans to integrate computer science into national curriculum. (See status of global CS efforts)
Obama's CS for All push and what comes after?
Last but certainly not least, the biggest headline in computer science in 2016 was the Obama administration’s announcement of Computer Science for All. The President announced that “in the new economy, computer science isn’t an optional skill, it’s a basic skill.” The announcement was coupled with a $4 billion proposal for Federal funding.
Although the headline funding of CS for All didn’t pan out, the bully pulpit played an important role to accelerate this movement. The White House helped amplify and celebrate the work of the computer science community, and President Obama’s personal support for Code.org has been invaluable to the movement’s international growth. Local efforts such as CS4RI, CS4NH, CS4TX have sprung up in response and will serve as new rallying cries for the movement.
Meanwhile, Congress unanimously authorized long-term NSF funding for computer science research which has provided foundational guidance and support to many efforts in the space. NSF funding has established new CS courses in hundreds of classrooms: 5~10% of all new CS teachers prepared this decade were funded by the NSF, and ~19% of all AP CS Principles teachers are teaching NSF-funded curricula. We’re thankful to the bipartisan leadership of the Representatives and Senators who supported continuing this work.
Of course, together with the new CS Education Coalition, we will continue advocating for federal funding for computer science. Although most of the last few years’ progress to expand computer science in U.S. schools have been funded by private donors and state governments, an injection of federal funding would greatly accelerate these efforts.
Code.org recently penned a memo for the Trump administration laying out a very simple case:
In 2016, Fortune 500 CEOs, 27 governors, and top education leaders joined forces to call for federal funding to address this. In 2017, thanks to the leadership of champions from both parties, we are as hopeful as ever that this goal is within reach.
With yet another year of growth, we are more confident than ever in the strength and momentum behind the computer science movement, not just in the United States, but globally. Hundreds of thousands of worldwide educators have decided that every student in every school deserves the opportunity to learn computer science.
The strength of this movement lies in the inspirational commitment of these teachers and educators. The nonprofits, philanthropists, and local governments who support them will continue and even accelerate our work in 2017 and beyond.
Hadi Partovi, Code.org
For calendar year 2016 our total expenses were $19.3 million. The chart below shows how this money was spent, according to audited financials.
The table below shows the total cost breakdown of our headline achievements since founding.
|Areas of effort / Achievements in 2013 - 2016||Fully-loaded cost (including admin)|
|Marketing: Hour of Code campaign, 350M served, reaching 10% of students globally, with events in 196 countries. 48% female participation||$8 million|
|Curriculum + Code Studio learning platform: ~300 hours of coursework created, 500,000 teacher accounts. 16 million student accounts. 45% female, 48% underrepresented minorities||$14.2 million|
|Partnership + professional learning: 41 regional partners and 400 facilitators who have prepared 52,000 new CS teachers across grades K-12. ($6.8M spent on grades K-5, $13.2M on grades 6-12)||$20 million|
|Government affairs: Policies changed in 31 states, $13M in state budgets allocated to CS, 3 Federal bills recognize CS.||$3.3 million|
|TOTAL SPENT (2013-2016)||$45.5 million|
We are supported by philanthropic donations from corporations, foundations, and generous individuals. Code.org is a public 501c3. All donations to Code.org are tax-deductible, and matched 50%.

How do we intend to prove whether or not we have successfully reinvented advertising? Easy. I have 89 boxes of an children’s bedtime book called “Fantazzzmia: Were Dreams Are Born.” It is a beautifully illustrated bedtime story book that creates a world in the clouds where children travel to in their sleep, to begin their nightly dreams. Simple enough product to sell to families with young children or those looking for a gift for a young child. If I can make a significant dent in that 89 box inventory, I’ll know we are on to something.
We used Fantazzzmia as the product in our initial Project Branswers alpha test. The sell through was significant on Amazon.com. But of course we had no way of knowing which sales were generated by Branswers.com. Our findings indicated a great deal of room for improvement on both Branswers.com and on Fantazzzmia.com. which generated the link to Amazon. One of the major improvements was to allow the books to be purchased directly at Fantazzzmia.com. And so that will be a portion of our Beta Test with the Amazon.com sales held back during the test period. Yesterday we started the redesign/redevelopment of the Fantazzzmia.com website. Where as the last Fantazzzmia site was more focused on giving the audience a solid understanding of what happens when their children go to sleep. Very informative and very clinical.
Our post sale interviews indicated that we may have gone too far into the “whys” of children’s dreams and not far enough into the fantasy. Also stories of fantasy do extremely well during periods of economic turmoil. Yesterday’s development session sent us firmly down the path of recreating the “journey” aspect of the child’s dream experience. We got off to a great start. Looking at the work of Japanese designers on ffffound.com was very helpful in getting the ideation process started. We hope to have the new Fantazzzmia.com site up and running by December 1, 2008. We will keep you posted. | <urn:uuid:4a86b2bd-50ca-425c-bf5e-165204efa192> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://harrywebberisreinventingadvertising.wordpress.com/tag/neoadvertising/ | 2017-11-19T04:34:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805362.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119042717-20171119062717-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.95547 | 449 | [

By know, the importance of search rankings is common knowledge. If you want your audience to find you on the web, you’ve got to pay attention to optimizing your site. But implementing SEO can be a daunting task for those who don’t know much about programming. In fact, we always recommend seeking the help of an SEO professional to take full advantage of all the benefits of optimization. There is, however, a more accessible way to get the SEO ball rolling—add keywords to your copy. It’s one of the simplest things you can do to help boost your rankings. You don’t need a programmer. You won’t have to learn the complexities of back-end coding. With just a little thought and research, you can make an impact—and here’s how. | <urn:uuid:4c0701a8-b746-4d9b-9249-821ea4513a55> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://qtheagency.com/tag/digital-design/ | 2017-11-20T00:09:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805881.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119234824-20171120014824-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.921469 | 167 | [

Yesterday I had the chance to meet face to face with Tim “Spike” Davis, whose cartoons I’ve often shared on this blog as well as on other social media. I took the opportunity to get a photo together:
We chatted about all kinds of things, but one of them was about recognizing the importance of what is happening around us, and our tendency as human beings to be so caught up in things that we consider important, that we miss things that will seem much more significant in hindsight. That can apply to seizing opportunities to connect with people, as Tim and I did, but it also seems to be the message of his recent cartoon below:
Two Roman soldiers, doing something ordinary for them, not recognizing that what they were doing would be a focus of discussion and even celebration two millennia later. Two Roman soldiers sayings words that are in our mouths in the present – but how much of those discussions about elections are about things that will make a genuine difference not just for four years but for longer?
Voting is important. Doing our jobs is important. But don’t miss the moment, the things that may have been pushed to the corner of your mind or your frame of vision, but which later you will wish you had paid more attention to. | <urn:uuid:b377b3f6-e243-4432-98e6-793e6d320d09> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.patheos.com/blogs/religionprof/2016/03/dont-miss-the-moment.html | 2017-11-20T01:18:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805881.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119234824-20171120014824-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.985092 | 262 | [

VSU Artists Join the Fight Against Hunger
|Pictured, from left to right, are Angela Bass, Michael Schmidt, Mark Errol, Jared Zeigenbein, Hunter Pope, Joel Dion, Laura Civis, and Sara Moore.|
VALDOSTA — A group of Valdosta State University potters recently donated their time and talent to help bring an end to the hunger crisis in South Georgia.
Working nights and weekends in the campus-based Ceramics Studio, eight VSU students — Hunter Pope, Jared Zeigenbein, Angela Bass, Laura Civis, Michael LaGon, Ansley Vicknair, Sara Moore, and Sara Pratt — created a collection of original, handcrafted bowls for Empty Bowls, an annual Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts exhibition and fundraiser benefitting Second Harvest of South Georgia. The student artists were joined by Joel Dion, a May 2016 Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate; Michael Schmidt, a Valdosta-based ceramics artist and associate dean of VSU’s College of the Arts; Mark Errol, a Tifton-based ceramics artist who has taught at VSU since 2015; Schmidt’s wife, Nancy Collingwood; and Errol’s partner, Glenn Josey.
“Empty Bowls is about giving to those in need, about sharing what we have with others to add to their lives, and that very idea fits perfectly with the world of ceramics and what we teach at Valdosta State University,” shared Errol, who organized and led VSU’s fight against hunger efforts. “We are fortunate to be able to be creative, share what we do, and have it impact others — what an enriching quality to instill to the students and community.”
VSU created 59 of the 165 bowls donated to this year’s Empty Bowls event, which raised much-needed funds for food insecure individuals and families in the 30-county area served by Second Harvest of South Georgia. The bowls each sold for $15 or more. Schmidt created a set of bowls that went for $200 during a live auction.
Supporters who purchased a bowl were invited to attend a simple meal of soup and bread and to keep the bowl as a reminder of the one in four South Georgians who do not know from where their next meal will come — many of them children who are too hungry to learn.
“As a longtime artist, educator, community advocate, and now ‘arts administrator,’ I am extremely proud of our VSU students and faculty,” said Schmidt. “Their drive, generosity, and most importantly selflessness are just a few of the traits that embody the spirit of Empty Bowls and community engagement. Professor Mark Errol sets a great example for students and community members alike. His dedication to VSU, the Valdosta community, and the greater South Georgia region through Plough Gallery continues to make positive and long-lasting connections on a daily basis.”
Hidden Hunger, a collection of photographs designed to raise hunger awareness, accompanied the Empty Bowls exhibit. Barbara Grover, a Los Angeles, California-based freelance photojournalist, was commissioned by MAZON, a Jewish nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting hunger in the United States and Israel, to travel the country to document the faces of hunger. Dominick Gheesling, an award-winning photographer who has taught at VSU since 2010, printed her images for display.On the Web: | <urn:uuid:c165e680-514e-4e67-9558-2448a6e3564d> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://valdosta.edu/about/news/releases/2016/11/vsu-artists-join-the-fight-against-hunger.php | 2017-11-21T13:38:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806388.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121132158-20171121152158-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.950231 | 737 | [

Chris is looking out the window again, aargh, he'd better not steal MY space again when I run for coffee!
Well, she's almost done - I'd better get on my shoes!
Chris that is MY parking space!
Really, I didn't see your name on it?
Oh boy, she's mad. Should I avoid this or tell her my feelings?
It really isn't your spot right? I didn't know how else to get you to talk to me. I've been wanting to ask you out. I hope you don't think that!
No it's not, but I worked hard to clean it. Why do you steal it? SO, you weren't just being a major jerk?
I'm glad we resolved the snow/parking conflict, this is MUCH better!

I have to confess, cooking is not always something I look forward to. I like it when I cook with other people, we have music going, and I’m drinking a glass of wine. But cooking day in and out can be boring. I noticed what makes it more fun is cooking with colorful pots. I have three Le Creuset pots (featured above). Every dish I make in them looks better, just because of the color. They look nice on the dinner table, too, which is important to me since we cook large quantities.
How about you, what is your favorite pot to cook in? Do you care about looks or more about function? I have had my blue French Oven for two years, and so far it has delivered on both. | <urn:uuid:269033f3-c24e-415f-8e5d-3808a721b6f9> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://teachwhereyoulive.com/2013/06/25/happy-cooking/ | 2017-11-22T09:24:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806543.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122084446-20171122104446-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.979381 | 158 | [

To his surprise he quite enjoyed the crunchy texture and eye watering kick it came with. Being the health conscious, gym going, beach weights kinda guy he is, Mike was delighted with the nutritional benefits, but something bothered him. Why didn't peas come in any of his favourite crisp flavours? After extensively searching the internet it looked liked only one flavour of pea existed, it was time for Mike to put a stop to this pea discrimination, it was time to give peas a chance! So that’s what he did. Mike developed Taking the Pea, the first brand to offer a range of delicious dried peas. | <urn:uuid:0d78b5e7-026e-4c5b-af7b-079a9a233e41> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.farmdrop.com/producers/575/taking-the-pea | 2017-11-22T08:55:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806543.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122084446-20171122104446-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.978063 | 127 | [

United States of America Plaintiff - Appellee v. Miklos Dates Defendant - Appellant
Miklos Dates pleaded guilty to one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 924(a)(2). The district court 1 imposed an above-Guidelines sentence of 48 months and Dates appeals, arguing the district court imposed a substantively unreasonable sentence.
In September 2014, just as Dates pulled into a parking lot, a law enforcement officer approached and ordered him out of the car. The officer conducted an inventory search of the car, and found a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun in the glove box. The gun had a loaded magazine and a round in the chamber, and had been reported stolen about three weeks earlier. Approximately four months later, in January 2015, Dates was pulled over in a traffic stop and arrested on outstanding warrants. The arresting officer saw a revolver on the passenger floor of the car. Dates admitted he knew the gun was there and said he had it for protection. Dates was charged with unlawfully possessing both firearms, but pleaded guilty to only one count: the incident in January 2015.
The district court calculated an advisory Sentencing Guidelines range of 30–37 months. Dates requested a below-Guidelines sentence of 24 months, and the government sought an above-Guidelines sentence of 60 months. The court imposed a 48-month sentence. On appeal, Dates argues the sentence was substantively unreasonable because it was greater than necessary to meet the statutory goals of sentencing. “We review the substantive reasonableness of a defendant's sentence for abuse of discretion.” United States v. Timberlake, 679 F.3d 1008, 1012 (8th Cir. 2012) (quotation omitted). “A sentencing court abuses its discretion if it fails to consider a relevant factor that should have received significant weight, gives significant weight to an improper or irrelevant factor, or considers only the appropriate factors but commits a clear error of judgment in weighing those factors.” Id. (quotation omitted).
Dates asserts the district court gave too much attention to the aggravating factors and failed to give sufficient weight to factors that would mitigate against a sentence above the advisory Guidelines range. The court expressed concern that Dates possessed two firearms on two separate occasions, that he “continued to possess firearms after being arrested,” and that one of the firearms in his possession had been stolen. The court also noted that prior terms of incarceration had not deterred Dates from engaging in additional criminal conduct and that he had committed the offense of conviction while he was on probation.
The district court also considered Dates' age, his troubled and violent childhood, and the support he enjoys from his “very strong and loving family.” The district court recognized that Dates had “seen way more than [his] share of tragedy than [he] should have at [his] young age,” and that his direct exposure to gun violence likely had a significant impact on his life choices. A review of the record shows the district court thoughtfully considered all of these factors, both aggravating and mitigating, and carefully weighed them before imposing the sentence. A sentencing court has broad discretion in this regard, see United States v. David, 682 F.3d 1074, 1077 (8th Cir. 2012) (review of district court's weighing of sentencing factors when imposing upward variance is for abuse of discretion); United States v. Farmer, 647 F.3d 1175, 1180 (8th Cir. 2011) (“A district court's choice to assign relatively greater weight to the nature and circumstances of the offense than to the mitigating personal characteristics of the defendant is well within its wide latitude in weighing relevant factors.”), and the district court did not abuse its discretion here.
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

In a post earlier today, Gizmodo pooh-poohed the no-names that are showing off the Tegra, an attitude that I think misses the point. Recall that Acer, Dell, HP and others don't actually build PCs any more; they use a network of Taiwan and Chinese ODMs to build them, and, increasingly, design them. Getting the Taiwan ODMs to back Tegra is a sly way to encourage OEMs to ship them.
But even the ODMs support isn't critical. Nvidia invited twenty or so mobile-phone carriers to Taiwan to try and persuade them to commission, say, a Verizon-branded netbook. that's where Nvidia sees the volume. Again, it's these ODMs that will be building them.
"Devices based on Nvidia Tegra will allow us to offer a mobile Internet device that delivers an amazing level of functionality at minimal cost or even free through subsidies," said
"The combination of a Tegra-based MID and our high-speed national coverage will allow millions of people to access the Internet and have an unprecedented experience," Domit said. "I can imagine the story is the same for every country around the world."
Some of the products include:
- Compal Communications, Inc. CN88 (netbook)
- ICD Ultra (tablet)
- Inventec Applications Corp. Rainbow (netbook)
- Mobinnova Mabo (tablet)
- Mobinnova ViewBook N910 (netbook)
- Pegatron Vivid (netbook)
- Wistron M5 (netbook)

I've been using this for about 2 weeks and it doesn't seem to be any different than another product I was using. I didn't realize that it is supposed to be rinsed off when I purchased it and I've actually been leaving it on and have had no trouble. Unfortunately I'm not that excited about this product. :(

I have used this cream for quite a while. I am 73 with dry, sensitive skin. The skin on my heels is always thick, dry and sometimes cracked unless I use Glytone Heel and Elbow cream. It is an amazing cream. I won't be without it. It makes my heels smooth and soft.

I live in a southern climate and wear open toe - and heel - shoes year round. Growing up we ran around barefoot and I didn't have a clue about my feet! Many years ago when I realized I did not want 'those heels' I began getting frequent pedicures. They are expensive and time consuming and here, year round. All that changed when I first started using this product. My feet are truly perfect, as much as that can be true. I do my own nails and have - this is weird! - actually been approached and told that I have nice feet. Ha! Anyway, this does the trick. I use it twice a week for maintenance. Can't live without the stuff!
Tue Jan 13 22:45:12 GMT 2015 by
works really well - I will never be without it. Turned my scaly, dry feet baby smooth in about 3 days of use. Just make sure you don't put it all over the tops and sides of your feet or they will completely peel off too. Can feel like burning a little, but it's worth it to me to have smooth, soft feet. And it is expensive for the tiny amount you get so I wait until 20% off sales to purchase. Overall, I highly recommend this.

I've used this product on my very dry feet for a few years now, I'm not going to lie, it is expensive (very) but well worth it. I noticed a big difference after only four uses! I find it works best if I apply it at night, after a shower and then wear socks, the socks create more heat, which helps the rich cream penetrate. I also rub it into my cuticles and it takes care of dry rough cuticles that I get in the winter, almost overnight. This really is a great product.

Nothing has worked until I used this! it's amazing - i thought it was hype - but I tried it and yeah - it works!! I put it on my heels at night w/ socks. Then I peeled off all the dry skin (gross). Once peeled, I maintain with cream and more footsy socks overnight. excellent product!!

My eyelashes are the longest they've ever been. It only took a few weeks to notice a difference. I LOVE IT and will buy again. I haven't noticed a change on my eyebrows but will give it more time, hopefully I will get the results I want as I'm very embarrassed about them.

Barb Lipp from our Berwick branch baked these crunchy treats. She used the cookbook Giada at Home by Giada De Laurentiis. Barb altered the recipe by using dried star anise instead of lemon. You can try one this afternoon at the Windsor branch!
2 c. all purpose flour
3/4 c. fine yellow cornmeal
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. fine sea slt
1 c. sugar
3 large eggs
3 Tbsp. grated lemon zest (Barb used crushed dried Star Anise Fruit)
3/4 c. coarsely chopped whole almonds
2 1/2 c. white chocolate chips (Barb used semi-sweet chocolate)
Preheat oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
In another bowl, beat sugar & eggs with an electric mixer until pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Mix in the lemon zest and then the flour mixture and beat until blended. The dough will be sticky. Stir in the almonds. let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
Divide dough evenly into 2 equal mounds and place on the prepared baking sheet. With moist hands, space the dough evenly apart and from into 2 loaves, each 9 x 3 inches. Bake for 35 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 5 minutes.
Using a serrated knife, cut the logs crosswise into 3/4 inch thick diagonal slices. Arrange biscotti cut side up on the same baking sheet. Bake until the cookies are pale golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
Pour the chocolate chips into a a heat-proof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, until chips are melted and smooth, about 3 minutes.
Dip cookies or drizzle the melted chocolate. | <urn:uuid:3c910118-7286-442c-a63a-e3021a60227c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://avrlfeedyourmind.blogspot.com/2013/12/day-5-anise-star-biscotti.html | 2017-11-23T22:17:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806979.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123214752-20171123234752-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.855812 | 384 | [

Pretty much each individual in America wishes to acquire a home sooner or later, on the other hand, proudly owning a building is generally difficult from time to time. Perhaps, the most difficult portion on the subject of proudly owning a building would be the monetary responsibility. Nearly each and every property owner either already possesses or has received some kind of hefty house loan. Nevertheless, numerous individuals commonly come upon monetary problems. When this occurs, a lot of these people have the opportunity to try Joseph Gilliland.
While several property owners may very well be familiar with the thinking behind home financing, many happen to be confused with regards to a reverse mortgage loan. The idea of some sort of reverse home loan is simply as the term suggests; rather than paying out money house owners are going to accept money. It’s easy to get thousands of us dollars using a reverse mortgage loan. Think about talking to Joseph Gilliland on Facebook to successfully find precisely what can be carried out for you.
Sad to say, taking a reverse mortgage isn’t for everyone. There are actually a number of wants householders should satisfy in order to be permitted. To begin with, it’s important that a homeowner’s house possesses a sufficient amount of equity inside it. A person can calculate their particular equity by identifying the particular price of their particular home and just how much of their particular mortgage loan they’ve got still left. For instance, in the event that somebody’s family home is undoubtedly worth $100,000 yet they have a home loan of $30,000, chances are they’ll have around $70,000 in equity for their particular home.
If you opt to register online for some type of reverse home finance loan, then you’ll want to find a brokerage. Most people go to substantial banks and other finance institutions in order to check out financial loans. Sadly, proceeding directly to some kind of arbitrary financial institution to positively collect some kind of reverse home finance loan is a mistake. Probably, the easiest method to make this happen would be to contact Joseph Gilliland. These kind of brokers have accessibility to the demands of numerous lenders and may be useful for finding the very best one for you.
Again, some sort of reverse mortgage could be just what you may need if perhaps you’re a house owner wanting a little more money. Check out the Joseph Gilliland Facebook page as a way to locate a deal that’s good for you. The great thing is that the cash you get might be utilized for any and everything a person would like. | <urn:uuid:d4a7fd65-0930-4364-87f5-f8e5678041a7> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://chess2013.eu/reverse-home-loans-and-how-theyre-benefiting-homeowners/ | 2017-11-24T16:29:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808260.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124161303-20171124181303-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.96421 | 524 | [

…and so the adventure begins! My time here awaiting a flight to Newark, NJ allows me time to reminisce.
It has been several years since the Great Race had a route from west to east. Time zone changes have usually benefitted competitors on east to west or north to south routes… West to east routing sees teams giving up hours of rest as they encounter the challenges of climates, roads, driving conditions and check-points. Historians would take us all the way back to 1998… an epic event that had rallyists meeting all of the elements, including snow and rain…lots of rain, as they travelled from Tacoma, Washington to Haverhill, Massachusetts. Grand champions that year, competing in a 1917 Hudson Indy Speedster were none other than Rex Gardner, Stilwell, KS and Gary Kuck, Lincoln NE. 18 years later, Rex is still competing and continuing to make a difference in the lives of children as he promotes autism awareness. Could he be a repeat winner in 2016? his grandson Kolton has experience now and could be ready to assume to mantle of “champion”!
There is such a cast of characters assembling right now in San Rafael! Many are returning for the umpteenth time, determined to make this the year to break through… others to repeat past success…still others wondering what it’s all about. There is so much to accomplish between now and Saturday’s departure. Registration, vehicle inspection, stickering, practising measured miles, car collections to see, Sonoma Raceway to drive and a San Francisco Bay hosted dinner cruise are but the tip of the iceberg…did I mention getting some rest prior to the Hagerty Trophy Run?
You get the idea…we’re in for an action packed couple of weeks!
Time to board…flight delay and a re routing means that additional fuel had to be obtained prior to takeoff; we’re told that our revised flight plan will add 200 miles and about 20 minutes to the flight…two movies later (The Big Short & Whiskey Tango Foxtrot) the map says that we’re 1 hour and 58 minutes to go and that our flight is currently 1417 km /870 miles from San Francisco. It appears that we’ll be flying north of Salt Lake City… I enjoy following the route being taken. We’ve already passed well north of Cheyenne, Denver and Colorado Springs…lots of turbulence on this new generation, snack less flight! Just think…next Wednesday we’ll see Cheyenne from the ground! | <urn:uuid:808ad1f8-e9c1-4d3a-9647-4fe270cfddcb> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.greatrace.com/news/changing-time-zones.html | 2018-11-12T21:03:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741087.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20181112193627-20181112215627-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.951161 | 531 | [

NOTE: After signing the petition you will be given the option to mail a physical postcard to President Trump at the White House, thanking him for defunding International Planned Parenthood!
In his very first pro-life action, President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning government funding of International Planned Parenthood Federation and any other organization that performs and promotes abortion overseas!
Trump’s pro-life action came a day after the 44th anniversary of the notorious Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling, which along with the Court’s Doe v. Bolton decision, established abortion-on-demand as the law of the land.
At the first official White House press conference the same day Trump signed the order, Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said that reinstating the Mexico City Policy illustrates to the people of the United States "and to people of the world...what a value we place on life.”
He said it is consistent with Trump, who campaigned as a "pro-life president."
Trump "wants to stand up for all Americans including the unborn,” and ensure taxpayer funding is ”reflecting American values,” including the respect for life, he added.
Trump needs to know that pro-lifers in the U.S. and around the world appreciate his pro-life action, and will support all future pro-life actions he undertakes.

J. Mark Scearce
|J. Mark Scearce|
|Born||October 9, 1960|
J. Mark Scearce (born October 9, 1960) is an American composer known for his musical settings of more than 200 texts by forty poets—from art songs to operas to works for chorus and orchestra.
J. Mark Scearce was born in Edina, Missouri and grew up in neighboring Kirksville. There he graduated high school in 1979, and attended Northeast Missouri State University (now Truman State), graduating in 1983. At NMSU he triple-majored in music theory, horn performance, and philosophy & religion.
During high school and college, Scearce established himself as a jazz trumpeter, winning outstanding soloist awards at regional jazz festivals (St. Charles, Wichita, Springfield).
Despite acceptance at North Texas to pursue this trajectory, Scearce chose to become a contemporary classical composer after his undergraduate studies, attending Indiana University on the strength of his first composition, a brass quintet written for and recorded by the Chicago Brass Quintet.
Scearce received his Masters and Doctorate in Music Composition from Indiana in 1986 and 1993 respectively.
Career and influences
Scearce’s catalogue of music compositions totals nearly a thousand performances of sixty works, including seven commercial recordings on the Delos, Warner Bros, Capstone, Centaur, Albany, and Equilibrium labels.
Having formally studied with composers John Eaton, Harvey Sollberger, and Donald Erb—all of whom had deep and lasting influences on his music—Scearce only developed his characteristic tonal style with the work Gaea’s Lament, written in 1989 for cellist and ethnomusicologist Jonathan Kramer, whom Scearce met fresh out of graduate school in North Carolina and whose eclectic holistic teaching highly influenced him.
His associations with other performers and performing organizations shaped many of the forty commissions he received for his music since.
Conductor Al Sturgis has conducted two ballets, two operas, two choral/orchestral works, and six choral works. Conductor John Gordon Ross has conducted thirty-three performances of eight orchestral works.
Endymion’s Sleep, Anima Mundi, and This Thread were borne from Scearce’s association with the Nashville Chamber Orchestra and its Music Director Paul Gambill.
Six works each were performed by the North Carolina Symphony (including XL, Urban Primitive, and Antaeus) and by the Carolina Ballet (including The Kreutzer Sonata, Guernica, and Dracula) for a total of 75 performances between these two organizations alone.
Second to vocal music, his music for ballet has made the greatest impact with audiences, brought about through a close working relationship with choreographer Robert Weiss with whom he has created four ballets including the full-evening Macbeth.
He has written three operas including the full-evening Falling Angel which The Wall Street Journal has called "a noirish thriller skillfully distilled from the original—a complicated detective story laced with voodoo, Satanism and murder".
His String Quartet 1° was premiered by the Ciompi Quartet of Duke and recorded by the Fry Street Quartet. His Str Qt Nr 2 was premiered by the Borromeo Quartet at Bargemusic in Brooklyn for the 125th anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge. His Third Quartet was premiered by the Penderecki Quartet on the Open Ear Festival in Toronto.
In writing about Scearce in CVNC, critic John Lambert observed that “his uncanny ability to create melody, to marry melody to words, and to forge combinations of the two to convey emotions or drama or suspense or awe has long set him apart from many of his peers.”
As such, many of his songs have been associated with specific performers, most notably, soprano Leda Asher Yager, for whom all of the early works were written, and who had a profound influence on all his music written during the twenty-five years since graduate school.
Other musicians associated with his music have included mezzo Karyn Friedman, tenor Wade Henderson, and baritone Scott MacLeod; conductors Lawrence Golan and Grant Llewellyn; and pianists David Heid and John Cheek.
Scearce served as an arts administrator with the Bowling Green (OH) New Music and Art Festival, the Raleigh (NC) Symphony Development Association, and the Indiana University New Music Ensemble.
He was Composer-in-Residence at North Carolina State University for two years in the early 90s before serving three years on the faculty of the University of Hawaii, where he was founder and director of a contemporary music ensemble and new music festival.
Following three years as Composer-in-Residence as part of the national Meet The Composer New Residencies program, Dr. Scearce taught for a year on the visiting music composition faculty of the University of North Texas before accepting a three-year appointment as Resident Composer in the School of Music at the University of Southern Maine.
He was chair of the Music Department at NC State for nine years and is currently a tenured full professor there in the famed College of Design.
Honors and awards
In 2009 he received the International Raymond and Beverly Sackler Prize in Music Composition, the largest single annual award in the field.
In 2010 he was awarded the Raleigh Medal of Arts for lifetime achievement.
He has had residencies at Ucross, MacDowell, and Yaddo artist colonies, as well as Ernest Block, Atlantic Center, June in Buffalo, and Wellesley Composers Conferences early in his career.

Like disinterest in philosophy, disinterest in the details of the relationship and the differences, no interest in discussing them.
I guess there is a more non confrontational attitude girls have that stems with this but it seems so rare to find girls you can actually communicate with beyond surface level

1. Some people don't have much interest or knowledge in intellectual topics.
2. Some people may have an interest in these things, but feel intimidated or shy about talking about them (fear of judgment, fear of confrontation, fear of sounding stupid, etc.).
And I find that these things are true of some women and some men.
Personally, I love having intellectual conversations. My partner and I can talk for hours about philosophy, religion, science, politics, and so on. That said, I prefer to talk about these subjects with someone I feel comfortable with and who I know isn't going to be judgmental.

My best advice is know your times.
Your very right that some women A) aren't smart enough to play a smart conversation. B) dont care to have a smart conversation. C) some are like there male counter parts and just want ass
Some women will be very enthralled by these tyoes of conversations but even those women dont want them all the time or especially in the beggining.
Remember women want the real you just maybe not all at once and right away.
Stick to thr friendly conersations in the begining of a relationship and should it begin to develop allow the conversations to naturally find depth.
Yes not too many are interested in the first place least at younger ages, and even older ages they dont want to waste time thinking and talking about it they want to live it. Dont define your world so much that you aren't living in it.
When u find a women who enjoys those talks pick your times when u get deep, ensure the mood and atomosphere especially are correct | <urn:uuid:219085e3-6a14-43e7-ab41-fe87cf390788> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.girlsaskguys.com/dating/q1405124-do-some-girls-really-not-care-about-having-more-intellectual | 2018-11-16T21:57:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743216.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116214920-20181117000251-00039.warc.gz | en | 0.961081 | 403 | [

Post-operative insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and loss of body protein are the features of post operative stress- induced catabolic response which is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and adverse outcomes post operatively. There has been a great deal of research on different approaches to optimize the post-operative insulin sensitivity such as hormonal and nutritional modifications and interventions, developing minimally invasive surgical techniques and epidural anesthesia. However, the correlation between insulin resistance and body protein loss is not well understood.
Our research is focused on finding new ways to combat the spread of Hospital acquired infections (HAI’s) in hospitals and other institutional work places. Our research combines a new non-leaching chemical nanotechnology that forms a protective barrier to difficult surfaces and kills bacteria on contact. The nanocoatings are water based and fix readily to surfaces such as plastic by exposure to low UV radiation. These transparent nanocoatings are invisible to the naked eye but act as sentinels and avoid the formation of harmful bacterial colonies
Spring Loaded Technology is a Halifax, Nova Scotia based start-up company focused on developing innovative knee bracing technology. Their Levitation™ knee brace has been developed to assist knee extension in people with leg weakness, but it has not yet been tested. The proposed research project will test the Levitation™ knee brace in healthy people, providing feedback to the Spring Loaded regarding the efficacy of their knee brace. Participants will be tested with and without the brace to compare its effects on knee extension torque and muscle activity.
Every day, people put their teeth at risk by eating foods that contain a lot of sugar. A lack of brushing teeth causes the build-up of bacteria. The bacteria use the sugars present in these foods to cause the weakening of teeth and if left untreated, can lead to holes and cavities in teeth. The concept of “re-mineralization” is the idea of using minerals such as calcium to make teeth stronger and have them heal faster.
Over the last decade, there has been a growing literature on “brain plasticity” and the role of computer based games for brain health improvement. Most of the focus has been on healthy older adults. While there has been pharmacologic treatment available for dementia for decades, there is no accepted standard treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). This project aims to engage individuals with MCI in computer-based games that are programmed to 1) allow remote monitoring of improvement and/or decline and 2) strengthen cognitive function through improvement in game performance.
Brain wave technologies allow researchers and clinicians to monitor the brain at work. Our team has developed a new technology that uses electroencephalography (EEG) to provide an online record of different brain functions in a very short period of time. The brain waves recorded by this technology may change normally as time passes and previous MITACS funded work is characterizing the variation in brain waves in healthy individuals. In the current study we want to expand our findings into patient groups and new imaging technologies.
This proposal presents research projects to evaluate a new technology, Electrovestibulography (EVestGTM) that holds potential to objectively, quickly and quantitatively measure the severity of concussion, thus aiding in its diagnosis. EVestG signals are recorded painlessly and non-invasively from the external ear in response to a vestibular stimulus; they are the brain signals modulated by the vestibular response. When concussed, people commonly experience balance (vestibular) problems and dizziness, as well as confused thinking.
We would like to investigate the use of hearing aids in real life environments. Retrospective questionnaires are often subject to memory errors and recall biases. In order to obtain more accurate momentary evaluations of sound and noise, our proposed research involves asking participants to complete real-time evaluations in the laboratory and in their everyday environments. The momentary assessments will be recorded using a mobile evaluation tool.
Teaching medical students and allied healthcare professionals accurate and patient friendly diagnosis of ear, eye and nasal conditions are challenging tasks due to the lack of realistic models and interaction with patients. The OONTTDP is a collaboration between the Hospital for Sick Children and Otosim to improve the teaching results through development of realistic simulators with various conditions embedded within an easy to use system.
With the advances of medical imaging, cardiac images have posed great challenges in processing and analysis due to the large amount of data generated. Dynamic Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images, also referred to as 4D (3D+time) imaging, for example, have great capacity for screening, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiac diseases. However, the tools to handle the image files are insufficient to best use the time of specialists such as radiologists and cardiologists. | <urn:uuid:b0f7a850-8f25-4931-8b35-36722192f5cb> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.mitacs.ca/en/sector/medical-devices?page=30 | 2018-11-16T22:56:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743216.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116214920-20181117000251-00039.warc.gz | en | 0.945524 | 980 | [

Turbocharged are a band from Sweden that goes for more of a mixture of death, thrash metal and punk on this recording and this is a review of their 2017 album "Apocalyptic" which was released by Go Fuck Yourself Productions.
Aggressive growls, fast riffs and blast beats start off the album along with the riffs also bringing in a decent amount of melody while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and the music also incorporates a great amount of punk and thrash metal elements.
Most of the music is heavily rooted in the mid 80's to early 90's while also mixing in a more modern vibe and the solos and leads are done in more of an old school metal/punk fashion and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and as the album progresses elements of first wave black metal can be heard and all of the songs stick to a very heavy musical style.
On this recording Turbocharged expand on the death/thrash metal style which they mix in with more punk, d beat and crust elements this time around, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover anti religion themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Turbochgarged and if you are a fan of death, thrash metal and punk, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Siamese Sons Of God" "Halo Of Thorns" "Deathmarch" and "Scandinavian Darkness". 8 out of 10. | <urn:uuid:da1c540f-e1f3-49cf-969d-475fa16dfb5b> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://hatredmeanswar3.blogspot.com/2017/09/turbochargedapocalypticgo-fuck-yourself.html | 2018-11-18T03:21:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.948526 | 321 | [

Heritage Society of Sam Houston Park
Houston, TX 77002
The Heritage Society was founded in 1954 by renowned Houstonians Faith Bybee, Harvin Moore and Marie Phelps in order to save the 1847 Kellum-Noble House from demolition. They had one goal in mind: preserve the hastily disappearing past of this great city for the education of future generations.
The Heritage Society is the city's only outdoor, interactive historic museum and park. Nestled in 19 acres of beautiful green parkland in the heart of downtown Houston, The Heritage Society boasts eight historic structures dating from 1823 to 1905. Each historic structure is authentically restored to reflect its original magnificence. Each year, The Heritage Society hosts countless school-aged children and visitors from around the world. Folks come from near and far to learn about the families and the lifestyles that inhabited these historic homes - what life was really like in frontier times for early settlers in Houston.

“AMERICANISM NOT GLOBALISM!” — CIVICS COURSE SERIES: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Trump supporters possess various degrees of understanding of today’s famous and fiery motto, “Americanism Not Globalism!”
When one calls himself an American, what does that mean? What are the attributes of Americanism? What are the characteristics of this entity which brought about the Constitutional Republic? The following are the nine attributes, the nine virtues, of Americanism:
1. SOVEREIGNTY: That we shall be governed only by our own people, and we shall keep control of our blood and our money in the hands of our own elected representatives.
2. THE COMMONWEALTH: By commonwealth we mean a state. The state grew out of man’s determination to settle in areas compatible with his temperament and his desires. The commonwealth (state) makes it possible for a citizen at all times to be close geographically to those who have authority over his domestic and personal affairs.
3. CHRISTIANITY: Men and women have never been denied admission to the U.S. because of their religion or lack of religion, but in 1893 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the tradition of America is Christian. This confirmed the fact that the nature, cultural and spiritual complexion of America is indeed Christian.
4. RACIAL SELF-RESPECT: Nothing in the Constitution specifies the color of the skin of an American. We have been generous and hospitable to men and women of all colors, and this spirit must be maintained, but the tradition of America requires racial self-respect. Our tradition has been fundamentally white.
5. FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION: It was never intended that the doctrines of statesmanship and religion and enlightenment should be pre-digested by an elite clique. Following debate, the citizenry, We The People, finally settles the matter, after all facts are brought in without restraint or reserve.
6. ENTERPRISE AND OWNERSHIP: The tradition of America is that opportunity to apply one’s initiative, intelligence and energy shall not be restricted because of birth, environment or social position. Citizens are permitted to accumulate property in direct proportion to their combined gifts involving intelligence, application and toil. This is responsible for the growth of America into a nation of power, wealth and happiness.
7. A SERVANT GOVERNMENT: Under the Constitution every public official is to be the servant of the citizen, not the master. Public officials and public employees can be investigated, recalled and removed.
8. CHECKS AND BALANCES: Congress is to make the laws. The Supreme Court is to interpret the laws as to whether they are in harmony with the Constitution. The President is to execute, enforce and carry out the laws. The President must never make the laws. The Supreme Court must be judicial, not legislative. The Congress must legislate, not execute or judge.
9. NATIONAL DEFENSE: The tradition of America requires that we defend our Nation by the use of arms and military strategy. As a synbol of this authority, this sovereignty, this independence, the one flag that shall fly higher than all the others shall be the Stars and the Stripes.
Globalism involves nine attacks on the nine attributes of Americanism:
1. Sovereignty versus World Government
2. The Commonwealth versus Federal Dictatorship
3. Christianity versus Anti-Christianity
4. Racial Self-Respect versus Anti-White Trotskyite Globalists
5. Freedom of Expression versus Controlled Media
6. Enterprise and Ownership versus (Executive Order) Confiscation
7. A Servant Government versus a Master Government
8. Checks and Balances versus Manipulation and Pressure
9. National Defense versus (UN troop or Islamic) Subordination
Our outstanding Donald Trump elected President of the United States of America will insure “Americanism Not Globalism!”Tags: Christianity globalism

If You Can't Overcome These 5 Mental Hurdles, Then Don't Start a Business
Would I encourage everyone to start a business? No.
Starting a business hurts. It requires hard work. Everyone has skills and abilities, but not everyone should invest those skills and abilities in starting a business. Those who possess entrepreneurial aspirations need to know how tough it is to create a company.
The biggest challenges are not the external ones like funding, coding, technology or talent acquisition. Those challenges can be fun, as long as you view them the right way. The biggest challenges are the internal ones, like stress, fear and self-doubt. Entrepreneur and financial expert Ramit Sethi estimates that 95 percent of the barriers to success come from crippling thought processes.
You have to power through some serious mental hurdles in order to start a business and make it a success. What kind of hurdles? Here are the ones that you need to get rid of.
1. I’m not really an entrepreneur.
Let me toss out one of the most over-asked and under-answered questions on the planet: What is an entrepreneur?
Nobody knows for sure. People try to define the word -- from government organizations to columnists. We have little more than mere definitions, cobbled together by people trying to make sense of the vast entrepreneurial arena.
One of the most popular types of entrepreneur articles are the lists. You’ve read them, with titles like ”25 Characteristics of a True Entrepreneur.” These can be seriously misleading. When we crowd out would-be entrepreneurs by tightening our definition of an entrepreneur, we do a disservice to the world at large and to those entrepreneurs as individuals.
In a study from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Academy for Entrepreneurial Leadership, researchers admitted “There is no well-defined population of entrepreneurs (due to lack of consensus on definition), so comparisons and generalizations are dangerous.” Another research project from the University of Baltimore cited multiple studies that pointed to the same truth: “A common definition of the entrepreneur remains elusive.”
If you think you’re not an entrepreneur, then you’re approaching the issue from the wrong angle. The right angle is I want to start a business...sell something, do something, invent, create, dream and grow. If you start from the “am I an entrepreneur?” question then you may accidentally disqualify yourself before you even begin.
2. I’m not going to succeed.
If you look at the business startup stats, you’re either going to have a panic attack or immediately surrender. I exaggerate, of course, but let me share some of these stats with you:
- Y Combinator, an incubator program, has a 93 percent failure rate (source and source).
- Over the lifetime of a small business, 60 percent either break even or lose money (source).
- 51 percent of new businesses die within five years (source).
- 80 percent of entrepreneurs fail at their attempt within 18 months (source).
“Failure” is pandemic in the entrepreneurial community, so much so that “fail fast, fail often” is a Silicon Valley mantra.
What’s an entrepreneur to do with this kind of data? You can respond in one of two ways:
- Believe that you will fail
- Fight failure
If you want to run your business into the ground -- or never get it off the ground -- then firmly place yourself in the massive fail category. If, on the other hand, you want to succeed, then readjust your beliefs.
3. I’m not worth that much.
Bill Gates wanted to be a millionaire for a long time, according to Walter Isaacson in the book The Innovators. But even Bill Gates underestimated his personal worth. Today, with a net worth exceeding $80 billion, Gates probably doesn’t have a problem paying his heating bill.
Often, entrepreneurs sell themselves short, because they have little self-worth. The prototypical entrepreneur -- scrappy, resourceful, smart and aggressive -- may not have aspirations toward greatness or wealth. But in order to build a successful business, the entrepreneur needs some business drive.
Maybe you fear being greedy. Maybe you are a champion for making things low cost or available for everyone. That’s OK. At the same time, you must realize that you deserve to raise your prices, make profits, build a business and succeed for the long term.
4. I’m not a salesperson.
Entrepreneur and salesperson are often considered to be synonymous terms. One author on entrepreneurship claims, “Entrepreneurship is 80 percent sales and marketing.” An article in the Harvard Business Review states, “Salesmanship is central to the success of any young company, and entrepreneurs ignore this at their peril.”
You don’t have to be the traditional salesperson to succeed as an entrepreneur. Do you have to sell something? Well, yeah, sort of. But you don’t have to be a salesperson to sell.
What do you do then if you don’t sell?
- Stay excited. Passion is one of the entrepreneur's most powerful assets.
- Be an expert. Those who master a niche are destined to profit from it. As you position yourself as a top-shelf professional in your field, you’ll inevitably grow.
- Build your personal brand. If you want to build your business, build your personal brand. It’s one of the fastest ways to growth without intentionally selling.
- Form the right partnerships. Successful entrepreneurs don’t fly solo. If you aren’t the “sales type” then find a partner who can do the dirty work for you.
5. I’m not a good leader.
Like the word “entrepreneur,” the word “leader” is slippery to the point where it’s almost useless.
Some entrepreneurs are scared off from their entrepreneurial passions because they fear leadership, whatever that is. To overcome this mental hurdle, the aspiring entrepreneur should dismiss from her mind the fuzzy word, leadership, and replace it with a metaphor, not a word.
Entrepreneurs are on a journey. Other people join them on the journey. If someone wants to claim the title of “leader” or “CEO” or “manager,” then fine. But keep the metaphor in mind -- the journey. Growing a business isn’t about a single person asserting his or her control or “leadership,” but rather rallying others in the pursuit of progress.
Whether you think of yourself as a good leader or no leader at all is of little consequence. You need to be capable of building a business, and that’s what matters.
Would I encourage everyone to start a business? The answer is still no, but I want to qualify that response. There are far more people who should and can start businesses. The tyranny of mental hurdles is so acute that many would-be entrepreneurs start to quit before they even start.
If you’re going to build something, it’s time to go for it. Mental hurdles, be gone. | <urn:uuid:4eaa103c-6fff-4c9d-bee7-1fe46fd8a5b2> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/243852 | 2018-11-18T03:34:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.930564 | 1,531 | [

9 Quirky Facts We Bet You Didn’t Know About the Origin of Your Favorite Foods
From salads to sandwiches to ice cream cones—we’ve got the scoop on the history of your favorite foods.
Pizza fit for a queen
The Margherita pizza was created in 1889, when Queen Margherita of Savoy visited Naples, according to the owners of Brandi Trattoria in Port Chester, New York. In honor of the queen, Chef Raffaele Esposito and his wife created a pizza resembling the Italian flag and its colors; red (tomato), white (mozzarella), and green (basil). Later that same year, Queen Margherita penned a letter identifying Brandi Pizzeria as the originator of the Margherita Pizza. Brandi Pizzeria in Naples is still in operation today and Brandi Trattoria in Port Chester is its first official outpost in the U.S. These are the 6 food-creation myths you need to stop believing.
We all scream for ice cream (cones)
In Norfolk, Virginia, the founder of Doumar’s Cones & Barbecue is credited with inventing the first ever waffle ice cream cone in 1904—ahead of the World’s Fair in St. Louis where it was first served to the masses. The original cone machines that Albert Doumar created are on display and in use today at Doumar’s, which serves homemade ice cream and North Carolina style BBQ dishes at its original Monticello Avenue location.

Meet me at the Waldorf for a salad
This American staple, the Waldorf Salad, was created, not by a chef, but by the maître d’hôtel, Oscar Tschirky, at New York City’s legendary Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in 1896, where it became in instant success. The original version of the salad consisted of only diced apples and chopped celery mixed with mayonnaise. Chopped walnuts were added later and became an integral part of this classic dish.
It’s virtually impossible to locate an American eatery that doesn’t have some sort of Caesar Salad on the menu. And, no, a Roman emperor didn’t first concoct it. It was created, according to legend, by an Italian-American restaurateur named Caesar Cardini in 1924 in Tijuana, Mexico, to appeal to American visitors.
Nebraska vs New York
There are two decidedly different schools of thought as to where the Reuben sandwich, a tasty blend of corned beef, sauerkraut, Russian dressing and Swiss cheese—all blanketed in a couple of slices of rye bread, was created for the first time. Natives of Omaha, Nebraska, get blue in the face with rage if someone insists it was a New York invention. Their version has the sandwich first being created by Reuben Kulakofsky for his weekly poker game. New Yorkers, on the other hand, prefer to believe that Arnold Reuben of Reuben’s Deli first created it. Here are 9 foods that were created on accident.
Oodles of noodles
Whether Marco Polo “discovered” noodles in China in the 1200s and brought them back to Italy or, as many Italians believe, they were already being enjoyed there, one thing is definite: noodles and pasta really caught on and today they still take center stage on tables all over the world.
Hungover people everywhere should give praise
A picture perfect place to enjoy some Native American cooking classics is Santa Fe, New Mexico, where your first foodie stop can be Tia Sophia’s. This humble diner, first opened in 1975, features nothing but good old-fashioned New Mexican cuisine at very affordable prices and is located just off the town’s charming and historic central plaza. Native American staples such as posole (hominy) are on the menu and can be revved up by adding some “Christmas,” a term coined in the 1980s by waitperson Martha Totuno, to mean both red and green chile peppers, condiments that are staples on every Southwestern table. Perhaps Tia Sophia’s biggest claim to fame is the invention of the Breakfast Burrito, which became such a hit that now it appears on menus across the U.S. and around the world. Learn the surprising birthplaces of 20 favorite foods and drinks.
Eat dessert first!
Boston has given us so much down through the years and one of its most famous creations is the Boston Cream Pie and Parker House Rolls. Both originated in the kitchens of the Omni Parker House hotel. Built in 1927, the historic hostelry originally opened in 1855 and claims to be the longest continuously operating hotel in the U.S. The Boston Cream Pie (actually a cake) now reigns as the official dessert of Massachusetts. When the Parker House opened in 1855, chocolate was mainly consumed at home as a beverage or in puddings. And there was no lack of chocolate in Boston, since America’s first chocolate mill had opened in neighboring Dorchester in 1765. Since colonial times, New Englanders have enjoyed a dessert called American “Pudding-cake pie,” but in 1856 when Parker House’s own Chef Sanzian and his bake staff drizzled chocolate icing onto sponge cake filled with vanilla custard, something new and sensational was born. Originally dubbed the “Parker House Chocolate Cream Pie,” this delectable dessert is now savored all around the world. On December 12, 1996, thanks in part to a local high school civics class that sponsored the bill, Boston Cream Pie was proclaimed the official Massachusetts State Dessert despite stiff competition from the Toll House Cookie, the Fig Newton, and Indian Pudding.
A drink fit for a Rockefeller
While gin was a British libation, it quickly gained popularity in the New World where it was first used to make a little cocktail called the martini. The first one made was allegedly created at New York’s Knickerbocker Hotel, which was originally opened in 1906 by John Jacob Astor IV, and closed in 1921 due to the onset of Prohibition and when Astor perished aboard the Titanic. During its original run, the hotel was a place for dignitaries and glitterati like F. Scott Fitzgerald, John D. Rockefeller and more. One night, a bartender by the name of Martini di Arma di Taggia, whipped up a special drink for John D. Rockefeller. This drink came to be known as the martini. The Knickerbocker, which recently underwent a spectacular renovation, still has the “Original Martini” on its menus today, so you can try the original for yourself. No matter what your favorite toast is, “Cheers!” will fill the bill just about anyplace around the world.

One of the most striking monuments at the Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, United States, is the Confederate Memorial. Commissioned by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Confederate Memorial was designed and executed by Sir Moses Jacob Ezekiel of Richmond, Virginia, the first great American Jewish sculptor, who was living in Rome.
Ezekiel was 16 when Fort Sumter was attacked in 1861. An ardent believer in states rights, Ezekiel begged his parents to allow him to enroll at the Virginia Military Institute. They consented, and he became the first Jew to attend VMI. Three years later, when the cadets were summoned to aid Confederate General John C. Breckenridge at the Battle of New Market, Virginia, Ezekiel joined the cadets charge against Union lines.
When the war ended, Ezekiel completed his studies at VMI and graduated in 1866. According to Ezekiels memoirs and letters, which repose at the American Jewish Historical Society, Ezekiel met General Robert E. Lee during this period. Lee counseled Ezekiel, "I hope you will be an artist and do earn a reputation in whatever profession you undertake."
Living up to Lees injunction, Ezekiel won worldwide fame as a sculptor. Had he been born a century earlier, Ezekiel would almost certainly never have become a sculptor at all. Until the early 1800's in America, the phrase "Jewish artist" was an oxymoron. American Jewish painters were rare and Jewish sculptors rarer still because of the Second Commandments prohibition against making images. By the time Ezekiel was born in 1844, however, most American rabbis interpreted the Commandment to mean that Jews should not worship graven images, as opposed to painting or sculpting them. By the 1860's, Ezekiel was free to give three-dimensional expression to his Judaism without violating his faith.
Judaism was a major theme of Ezekiels art. At age 13, he executed a bust of "Cain Receiving the Curse of the Almighty." His second work, "Moses Receiving the Law on Mount Sinai," collapsed during a storm, which disaster his grandmother, who remained a Second Commandment strict constructionist, attributed to divine justice.
In the late 1860s, Ezekiel studied painting and sculpture in Cincinnati and Berlin. In the latter city, his bas-relief "Israel" won a prestigious prize that enabled him to study in Rome. One critic, who took note of the fact that the talented young winner was a Jew, expressed the hope that Ezekiel "would disprove the prevailing notion that the race of Shem has no genius for the plastic arts."
Ezekiel became an expatriate, living in Rome for more than 40 years. Nonetheless, his most important sculpture commissions were for works erected in the United States. In 1876, the Independent Order of Bnai Brith asked Ezekiel to create an allegorical sculpture of "Religious Liberty" for the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. The resulting marble statue, featuring an eight-foot tall woman wearing a coat of mail against the shaft of tyranny, now stands outside the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia.
Ezekiels work also adorns the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C. and the Confederate Cemetery at Johnsons Island, Ohio, among other sites, and he designed the seal of the Jewish Publication Society of America. In 1899, Rabbi Isaac Mayer Wise, the leader of American Reform Judaism and founder of Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati, posed for Ezekiel. Ezekiels father Jacob was the first secretary to the Board of Governors of HUC.
Ezekiel did indeed "earn a reputation" as Robert E. Lee had hoped, and he proved that Jews could be sculptors. When the United Daughters of the Confederacy approached him to execute the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery (1914), Ezekiel felt he could dictate the terms of his commission. He insisted that the Daughters give him full artistic license for the monument, which was based on the words of the prophet Isaiah, "And they shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks." They agreed nervously to Ezekiels conditions, but were delighted with the results.
As a tribute to the beauty of his work, Ezekiel was knighted by Emperor William I of Germany, and Kings Humbert I and Victor Emmanuel II of Italy hence his title "Sir." Despite his Roman residence and his familiarity with celebrities and kings, no one remained a more loyal son of the South or proud American than this expatriate Jew from Richmond. When Ezekiel died Rome in 1917, he left behind a specific request that his body be returned to America and buried at the base of his confederate Memorial in Arlington, alongside his comrades-in-arms.

New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner on Wednesday declared victory in his quadrennial battle of wills over the presidential nominating calendar.
Gardner, during a press conference at the state capitol in Concord, formalized Jan. 10 as New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary date.
Story Continued Below
“It’s my honor and privilege to say that the tradition of the New Hampshire primary will live on,” Gardner said.
The selection was no surprise, as Gardner made clear it was his intention all along — despite bluffs that he might jump ahead of Iowa into December or schedule the vote on a day of the week other than Tuesday.
“I was sort of on the edge of a cliff,” Gardner said of his threats to move the primary into December. “I was hoping that if I had to move, that there would be a puddle of water to jump into if necessary.”
His foes at the Republican National Committee and in rogue early-nominating states now have four years to plot strategy on how to keep him in line. Gardner has been setting the primary date and fighting to keep it first for 35 years.
With Garnder’s Jan. 10 selection, the GOP primary calendar is complete. Iowa will hold its caucuses Jan. 3, followed a week later by New Hampshire. South Carolina will hold its primaries Jan. 21, and Florida — the unwelcome entry into the early-state club — will vote Jan. 31.
Nevada will hold caucuses Feb. 4, but only after the state’s GOP suffered a total capitulation to Gardner. Nevada Republicans, awarded one of the four coveted early-state slots by the Democratic and Republican national committees, tried legally tethering their caucus date to the Saturday after the New Hampshire primary. But Gardner first refused to discuss scheduling strategy, then threatened a December primary and encouraged a proposed candidate boycott of Nevada.
On Oct. 22, Nevada caved.
Jon Huntsman, who boycotted a presidential debate in Nevada out of support for New Hampshire, welcomed the announcement. “I look forward to competing in this great American tradition — the ‘First in the Nation’ primary — on Jan. 10. Bill Gardner has done an excellent job protecting this sacred status and I have been proud to stand with him since Day One in support of New Hampshire’s rightful place in this process,” he said in a statement.
Despite the drama over the date, Gardner said at least four cycles — 1984, 1996, 2000 and 2008 — were more difficult to maintain New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation status.
“I thought after the last cycle that we would not face this again,” he said.
With the exception of nonbinding caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota and a for-show election in Missouri that the state Legislature has been unable to cancel, there are no other contests in February until Arizona and Michigan vote Feb. 28.
This year’s Super Tuesday falls on March 6, when Georgia, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia hold primaries. Idaho and North Dakota will hold caucuses.
If the nominee is not decided by then, the next significant date is April 1. Per RNC rules, states that award delegates before April 1 must do so proportionally, in theory limiting the influence of winning any particular state. States that award delegates after April 1 can be winner-take-all.
This is true for all pre-April 1 states except for Florida, which is already being punished by the RNC for holding its primary well before the approved March 6 date for the non-carve-out states. Florida Republicans wrote their rules to make the state winner-take-all, and because the RNC has already punished the Florida GOP by stripping half its delegates for the date maneuver, there is nothing the RNC can do to stop the state from awarding all 50 of its remaining delegates to the primary’s winner. | <urn:uuid:45d5f9a8-740a-4a95-8713-780f04a72ed9> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.politico.com/story/2011/11/nh-makes-primary-date-official-067441 | 2018-11-20T18:00:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746528.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120171153-20181120193153-00521.warc.gz | en | 0.959663 | 823 | [

The greatest source of satisfaction for me outside of my family is learning new things. This has made my choice to pursue a career in software development fortunate. In fact, a major source of discontent in a job is when I stop learning, but it also leads to the problem of turning a blind eye to organizational problems if I am learning.
I enjoy learning about software development so much that I’ve learned many languages and techniques that I have never and will never use in my job. I read a book on Ada in college and have never executed an actual line of it. I read a bunch of the Dylan documentation and even wrote some code for the simulator if I remember correctly. I’ve read the XP book and plenty of other methodology books and never worked in an organization that should have claimed it did anything but ad hoc software development.
Although the majority of my learning focus is on software development I also do a great deal of study in the area of personal development and one of the ideas I have run across is the difference between data and information. Data is just facts and figures while information is data that has context, meaning, and usefulness. I would consider the languages and methodologies I studied to be data. Since I haven’t actually put them in practice they aren’t any more useful than the dates of random historic events. I want to get in the habit of making what I learn useful; turn the data into information.
What I’m going to do is write (and possibly make videos) about what I’m learning. I’d like to turn this writing into a book or course of some sort. In my mind this would be the perfect combination of turning my love for learning into a source of income. | <urn:uuid:7a64cfbc-a775-4a13-afa0-89411beba76f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://brianyamabe.com/career/lifelong%20learning/joy-in-learning/ | 2018-11-14T12:59:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742020.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114125234-20181114151234-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.966504 | 357 | [

The group looked casual for Wednesday's outing, as Bieber sported navy blue gym shorts, a yellow sweatshirt and matching yellow hat. Baldwin showed off her toned legs in denim shorts and an oversized orange sweater, and Mallette rocked camouflage pants and a black top. The trio was photographed chatting it up in the parking lot as they made their way to their car.
Bieber and Baldwin's recent outings come as a source told ET that they're setting down roots in Los Angeles. According to ET's source, the couple -- who was spotted checking out the former homes of Rihanna and Demi Lovato, is interested in buying a house together.

"The couple is looking to buy a home in L.A. as they’ve been renting for a while," the source said. "Justin and Hailey want something that is gated and safe, with a lot of space, a pool and they are open to what area they’d live in." | <urn:uuid:4ab6c4b3-dfa7-4aed-900a-742a3ce0b227> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.etonline.com/justin-bieber-and-hailey-baldwin-spend-quality-time-with-his-mom-112237 | 2018-11-14T13:34:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742020.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114125234-20181114151234-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.974686 | 221 | [

A Financial Scam That Would Make Charles Ponzi Proud and What You Need to Know About Buying Mutual Funds
On this week’s Hanson McClain’s Money Matters, Scott and Pat discuss a financial scam that would make Charles Ponzi proud, what investors need to watch out for when buying mutual funds that contain bonds and have high yields, when to take social security, and whether or not continuing an interest only home loan is a good idea.
Scott and Pat take a call from a man who is recently divorced and wants to know if he should continue his interest only home mortgage and max out his defined benefit plan or reduce his contributions and go with a 30-year fixed mortgage. A caller wants to know when he should take his social security benefits. A caller who is considering investing in initial coin offerings. Lastly, a caller wants to know how much long-term care insurance he needs for him and his wife.
If you have a question for Scott or Pat, you can call 1-888-2-HANSON (1-888-242-6766), or you can submit a question at [email protected] at any time to be featured on a future show.
Scott Hanson and Pat McClain have been hosting Hanson McClain’s Money Matters radio show for over 20 years, and have answered questions from thousands of callers on a variety of financial topics. | <urn:uuid:9d8089cd-dc55-4436-a1f5-a806b79c8bfb> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://podcast.moneymatters.com/e/a-financial-scam-that-would-make-charles-ponzi-proud-and-what-you-need-to-know-about-buying-mutual-funds/ | 2018-11-15T18:37:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742906.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115182450-20181115204450-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.960365 | 289 | [

Abstract: In thinking about this article, I have decided not to write a technical piece. Over the years, I have done plenty of that on matters relating Christianity and science or the philosophy of science. Instead, as an aging (!) senior scholar, I have decided to reflect on the broader cultural implications of adopting a certain way of integrating Christianity and science, to attempt to offer some wisdom on the matter, and to issue a word of caution to my younger brothers and sisters. That said, here are my central reflections.
Key Words: philosophy of science, theistic evolution, Scientism, Physicalism, knowledge, neuroscience, Christianity, plausibility structure | <urn:uuid:cce53df0-bdd9-4265-9541-ea0e73e13824> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://jbtsonline.org/theistic-evolution-christian-knowledge-and-cultures-plausability-structure/ | 2018-11-17T00:42:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743247.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116235534-20181117021534-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.916701 | 138 | [

Burleigh Heads National Park, located on the Gold Coast is a stunning headland rainforest with two winding nature walks that twist up and around the rocky foreshore and over the hill, allowing breathtaking views of the beach, Tallebudgera Creek and the Gold Coast.
What Is It?
Burleigh Heads National Park is a stunning headland rainforest located in Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast. There are two winding rainforest walks, the first of which, the Rainforest Circuit, winds up and over the hill itself through lush green trees.
The second walk, the Oceanview Walk, runs around the beautiful foreshore. Unfortunately when we visited, the Oceanview Walk was under maintenance, so we were unable to get any pictures.
About 5 minutes into the Rainforest Circuit, you will be greeted by a beautiful view of the Gold Coast, pictured below. After that, it takes roughly 20 minutes of walking through the luscious rainforest to get to the top of the hill, from where you will be treated with absolutely stunning views out over Tallebudgera Creek, pictured above.
However, beware that this walk is not for the light hearted, there are loads of stairs and steep inclines!
Luckily the Rainforest Circuit walk is mostly covered by beautiful trees, providing a cool escape from the sun. There are also plenty of chairs throughout the walk to stop for a break if you get tired.
About The Nature Walks
The Rainforest Circuit is a 2.3km walk up the hill at Burleigh Heads National Park. It takes roughly 45 minutes to complete the circuit, however we recommend allowing a little bit of extra time to admire the beautiful views. The walk is classified as a Class 3 Track: It consists of gently sloping, well defined walkways with slight inclines and steps. However at some points in the walk there are steep inclines and stairs. Caution is needed on loose gravel and exposed natural lookouts. A reasonable level of fitness and ankle-supporting footwear is required.
The Oceanview Walk (Which when we visited was unfortunately closed due to maintenance), is a 1.2km one way walk around the rocky headland that leads towards Tallebudgera creek which takes about 30 minutes. The walk is classified as a Class 3 Track: It consists of gently sloping, well defined walkways with slight inclines and steps. Caution is needed on loose gravel and exposed natural lookouts. A reasonable level of fitness and ankle-supporting footwear is required.
How Long Does It Take?
The nature walks themselves are relatively short, allow around 1.5 – 2 hours to complete both, however we recommend spending the day and heading down for a dip in the water at Burleigh Heads Beach afterwards, or perhaps a picnic in the park. Its also worth checking out Tallebudgera Creek on the other side of the hill and across the bridge, which has a great playground for the kids.
How Do I Get There?
Burleigh Heads National Park is located just past the Gold Coast. Head down the Pacific Motorway and turn onto Reedy Creek Rd. Follow this road until you reach the Gold Coast Highway, from which you will be able to see the beach just ahead. The nature walks are located at the end of the beach, near the bottom of the hill.
What Should I Bring?
We recommend bringing plenty of drinking water, sunscreen, good ankle supporting foot wear and your camera! It might also be worthwhile to bring some swimmers, beach toys for the kids, a towel and a picnic blanket with some snacks, incase you decide to head down to Burleigh Heads Beach.

President and Director
Award-winning accordionist Dallas Vietty is one of the most in-demand accordionists performing jazz and swing in the United States today. Dallas’ unique style comes from his background in the American jazz tradition, as well as study and immersion in the European swing tradition of Django Reinhardt (Gypsy Jazz) and French accordionists.
As band leader of two groups (Hot Bijouxx and Musette Project) Dallas remains very active on the East Coast concert and festival scene. His groups have performed at some of the top U.S. festivals including: TEDx Philly, Djangoary Festival. As a sideman his performances have taken him to legendary venues like: The Iridium NYC, BB King’s Time Square, Dizzy's Club at Lincoln Center, and the Philadelphia Kimmel Center.
Growing up in Southern California’s Mojave Desert, Dallas showed a proclivity for music at a young age. He began as a jazz pianist, starting private instruction at 12, and spent several summers at the famous Idyllwild Summer School for the Arts. At California State University Northridge, Dallas pursued Jazz Studies, and performed throughout the LA metro area, Hawaii, and Japan. But piano was soon superseded by a passion for accordion. Dallas moved to the East Coast and fortified his independent education at New Jersey’s Acme Accordion School, studying fundamental technique and Free Bass education. | <urn:uuid:846de6bb-fb83-4f3e-8125-d0b5ac929587> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://thenaac.org/dallas-vietty | 2018-11-17T00:09:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743247.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116235534-20181117021534-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.957468 | 297 | [

The draft and kinship in 1997
By Caleb Butler
The San Antonio Spurs drafted Tim Duncan first overall in 1997, and a highly profitable kinship developed almost immediately between Duncan and his fellow big-man teammate, David Robinson. The two low-post players were like brothers on the court, backing each other up and playing off each other’s strengths, but they looked most like brothers when they walked off the court with high-fives and arms wrapped around one another. In the image above, their physical closeness is indicative of their close-knit basketball friendship.
Tim Duncan could not have been more fortunate than to join Robinson and the Spurs in 1997, and the Spurs could not have been more fortunate either. Robinson was the big brother who showed Duncan the tricks of the trade; Duncan was the over-achieving little brother who quickly stole the spotlight. The image above shows their championship celebration in 1999, Duncan’s second season, as he holds his Finals MVP Trophy.
When you stop to think about it, Duncan’s kinship with Robinson directed the trajectory of Duncan’s career. He entered the league as a team-first guy with loads of talent, but he skipped the growing pains of most rookies because big brother, “The Admiral,” was there to coach him along. In fact, the drafting of Duncan to join Robinson itself is an excellent example of the Spurs’ continued emphasis on an inside-out approach where the team is a family – where the players are like kin.

The Sacrament of Confirmation
Confirmation is one of the three sacraments of initiation (the other two are Baptism and the Eucharist).
"The reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. For 'by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed.'" - Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1285
Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation
Adults who are interested in receiving Confirmation should contact Father Ambros, a parochial vicar for both St. Rocco and St. Patrick. Please use our Contact page to do so.
If your child is in need of confirmation, please contact the parish office. You may be asked to speak with the Director of Religious Education or a priest depending on the needs of your child and how many years of Religious Education must be completed. We will be able to work with you and walk you through the steps necessary to prepare you and your child.

Things to Consider While Walking Down the Road to Be an Entrepreneur
There are people who have been in the field of entrepreneurship for a long time now and believe it or not these individuals have been walking down the road quite smoothly. There are certain complexities of commencing a technology-based venture but you can certainly make them simple and very much relatable to your venture.
Becoming an entrepreneur takes a lot of focus, and that is it. The other factors driving your business will be revolving around the same pivot as well.
If you ask me how to become an entrepreneur I can probably suggest you quite a few specks while will aid you in the future. Ones commencing a brand new venture must be really serious about the end outcome of the business.
You certainly need to be out of your bed most of the time since you would require facing all your fears which might be an opposing force in your growth. If generating commendable revenue is your prime focus and entrepreneur success is your forte, then believe me you need to consider some four to five things to accomplish more gold at the end of your hard work.
Here are some points which would come to aid while you grow as a businessman:
MAKE YOUR GOALS CLEAR
Ask a question to your own self as to what kind of business you are going to commence. Ask yourself what triggers your mind when you hear of success and achievements? Ask yourself what is the path you must traverse in order to achieve what you had always aimed to achieve.
In the domain of lifestyle business, you eCommerce success would mean that you will likely have your own, constant flow of salary.
You might assign a couple of representatives in the long run for your assistance, yet you don’t imagine building your business across different areas, offering a consistently upgrading line of items or developing your business into a top-notch one.
A development business has no relation to a lifestyle business whatsoever. Your desire must be to commence a venture that develops rapidly, is always in the advancing state and in which you frequently contribute extra cash to extend locations, item offerings, client fragments and so forth.
You’ll be hiring individuals, voyaging and presumably working in a 24*7 environment. Knowing your objectives is critical to setting desires and becoming an entrepreneur.
GO DEEPER INTO YOUR BUSINESS
If you want to know how to be an entrepreneur, you must primarily know what is your item or administration, and who your potential clients are.
In what way will you draw in these clients? Will you identify your rivals? If you can’t answer these inquiries, the risk of a failed initiative will be high.
Your life starts right here and will be this till the end of time. Persistent market examination and rotating when essential are the things to consider while becoming an entrepreneur.
Think of NerdWallet as an example which began in 2009 by making one of a kind, honest correlation instruments for stuff such as credit cards. Just because you constructed it doesn’t mean individuals would grace your platform.
Entrepreneurs at NedWallet state that they hadn’t thoroughly considered the difficulties of conveyance and discoverability. So they intensified the delivery of impeccable individual fund content to draw clients towards their products. After six years, they now have 2.5 million special guests every month.
USE YOUR OLD CUSTOMER BASE
Prior this year, in a discussion with youthful business visionaries at Texas A&M University’s Startup Aggieland business catalyst, one of the greatest recommendations this startup shared for trying business visionaries was to ensure you have paying clients for a brand new venture long before you choose to turn down an all day work.
Knowing who your trusted customers will be is great; as of now having clients beforehand is far better if you’re looking for entrepreneur success.
Regardless of it being gainful step or not that is currently prepared to bring success to your normal everyday employment or a development business that has secured an underlying customer is also critical.
Beginning with a prepared income stream will extraordinarily build your odds of achievement. You’ll now bring forth products which are advertising fit, and you’ll have clients who will root for you to potential customers.
CONNECT TO YOUR PEERS
Before you dive in, you have to shed a light about your aspirations and objectives to your family, companions and friends and family. Some portion of your prosperity, most likely a major part will definitely rely upon their help.
You’ll be working extended periods of time, managing stress and vulnerability and handling troublesome tasks. For this you will definitely require the support of people around you.
In case you relish beginning your own particular business, you’ll need to break out of your corporate-representative mentality. Budding entrepreneurs take suggestions from here and there on the grounds that they were searching for the chance to accomplish more than the activity at an investment bank.
A few people might see your move to a youthful startup as an unsafe and a risky one, yet for a lot of them the hazard was more than counterbalance by the open doors they got including statistical surveying, item creation and business advancement. Since you’ll have the question of how to be an entrepreneur once again, these things would enable you to contribute huge numbers of fronts to your progressing venture.

Commenter William thankfully double checked our math and we’ve corrected a small error in our % NTSC calculation.
We finally got our hands on an iPhone 5 yesterday. I tried asking Siri if she really has 44% more color saturation but she wouldn’t give up the goods, so I went with plan B and aimed our PR-655 spectroradiometer at the phone to find out just how impressive the screen really is. A lot has already been written about this display, but not much empirical evidence has been published about the color performance. How does the screen actually stack up to the marketing claims?
In short, Apple did an exceptional job improving color saturation and display quality in general, but the unit we measured just missed the 44% more color saturation claim.
The 44% more color claim for the iPhone 5 is the same claim Apple made for the new…

California burclover (Medicago polymorpha) is an invasive annual weed that looks a lot like other clovers. The name polymorpha refers to the fact that the burrs can be smooth or snaggish. As far as weeds go, this one isn’t entirely bad. Also known as burr medic, bur trefoil, and creeping burr, this weed actually has a lot going for it.
Cousin to white clover, black medic, and strawberry clover, California burclover is sometimes grown on purpose to feed livestock. Being an annual, however, it will leave bare patches in your lawn, come summer. Also, those little burrs can wad themselves up on your favorite sweater and they are not particularly fun to step on barefooted. While some burrs are smooth, most of them feature rows of tiny velcro-like hooks that snag. Like other weeds, the best time to pull them out is when they are small and young, before they go to seed.
California burclover identification
Seed leaves (cotyledons) are oblong. The first set of true leaves are rounded. Mature burclover leaves look like they fold in the middle and are three round leaflets. They may have reddish midveins and toothed margins. Stems can reach 2 feet long and tend to trail, but may be upright, and they break easily. Small yellow flowers form in clusters at the end of stems. The seed pod is either smooth or a prickly burr that sticks to pet paws and fur, shoes, clothes, and enough other things that this pesky weed can easily be brought into your garden or landscape after a stroll around the block. These burrs look as though they are twisted on themselves. They start out green and then turn brown and hard. While these prickly burrs can get tangled in your pet’s fur, they are not the “stinging” “life threatening” weeds sensationalist articles claim. We will leave those claims to the foxtails.
The good side of burclover
In addition to being grown as livestock and chicken food, California burclover is also used as a ground cover, winter erosion control, green manure, and in soil restoration. A drought tolerant legume that thrives on slightly alkaline soil, burclover requires very little water and it grows rapidly into a dense vegetative cover that adds nitrogen to the soil. A single acre of burclover can produce 8300 lbs. of biomass in a single season! In many areas of the world, burclover is rotated in pastures with cereal grains for a continuous supply of healthy food for livestock. If you were/are a farmer growing hay for livestock, adding burclover to your oats and wheat can increase production by 3 to 5 times.
But you probably see burclover as a weed in your lawn, as I do. Now that I know burclover is also a nutritious legume, I will feel better about feeding those weeds to my chickens.
You can grow a surprising amount of food in your own yard. Ask me how! | <urn:uuid:af5fccdd-838b-45a1-996b-2cadb204c52f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.thedailygarden.us/garden-word-of-the-day/burclover | 2018-11-14T18:13:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742253.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114170648-20181114191822-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.951453 | 672 | [

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — In the 10 years since Brown University eliminated parent contributions toward tuition for undergraduates from families with incomes below $60,000, the number of these students at Brown has increased by more than 200 percent.
Yet some Brown students from low-income backgrounds face the same struggles as their counterparts at universities across the nation to cover the costs of fees, textbooks, travel and other educational expenses. Some even opt out of meals to devote funds to these other uses, sacrificing health and nutrition — a University of Wisconsin report this month found that 36 percent of four-year college students nationally face “food insecurity” at times.
To ensure that students with the highest financial need at Brown have sufficient funds for full meal plans and required course materials, the University will launch two new measures in 2018-19.
First, Brown will provide all undergraduates (incoming and returning students) who have a $0 parent contribution, as determined by the financial aid office, with additional scholarship funds to cover the full cost of tuition, fees, housing and meals. Separately, the University will run a one-year pilot program to cover textbook costs for first-year undergraduates who have a $0 parent contribution.
“We know that students from families with high financial need face particular challenges when they enter college in this country,” said Brown Provost Richard M. Locke. “These enhancements are part of an ongoing commitment to ensure that students admitted to Brown have equitable opportunities to take full advantage of their education and contribute in meaningful ways to our community.”
The expanded efforts to support high-need students emerged after Locke convened a working group to explore student concerns about access to textbooks and course materials by undergraduates from low-income families. Working group member Vernicia Elie, an assistant dean who supports undergraduates from low-income backgrounds with financial matters, said the group’s research revealed additional challenges, too.
For example, she noted that prior to these new measures, most students with high financial need were expected to use earnings from work-study and summer employment to contribute toward the cost of some educational expenses, such as meal plans. Elie said it can be difficult for some students to earn those funds, and other students may turn down lower-paying summer opportunities that might better serve their educational and career goals. With University scholarship now covering the full amount of these costs for students with the highest need, work-study or summer earnings expectations will be reduced for those who previously had these elements included in their financial aid packages.
To ensure that students do not sacrifice on food security by skipping meals and securing a refund to use toward other costs, the University will now require all first-year students to have a full meal plan that includes 20 meals per week. And for all high-need students (any undergraduate who has a $0 parent contribution), Brown will provide additional scholarship funds to meet the full costs of the full meal plan.
Separately, a pilot program will cover textbook costs for first-year students in 2018-19 who have a $0 parent contribution. Textbook costs vary but can cost as much as $1,300 per year, according to Brown’s financial aid office. The University will evaluate an electronic swipe card method for textbook purchases by these students during the pilot and, if successful, consider extending the program to all students with high financial need during its Fiscal Year 2020 budget planning process.
Elie said that further reducing financial barriers will allow students at Brown with the highest financial need to better access and benefit from the Open Curriculum.
“We’ve found that some students are selecting courses based on how much books cost,” she said. “Our goal is to ensure that no student feels compelled to make educational choices based on finances and that every Brown undergraduate can take full advantage of the opportunities that the Open Curriculum offers.”
Brown junior Auriana Woods coordinates student programs at the University’s First-Generation College and Low-Income Student Center and was one of four students who initially approached senior leaders with a proposal for a new way to fund textbook purchases. This student-initiated outreach prompted the University to form the working group, which included senior administrators representing offices across Brown who support student academic and campus life. The working group consulted regularly with students like Woods.
Having an opportunity to share concerns with the provost, deans and other Brown administrators was an important opportunity to have an impact on decision-making with her direct knowledge of the issues that affect students from low-income families, Woods said.
“As low-income student organizers, we understand the gaps in student support, as we’ve encountered these needs firsthand,” she said. “The goal is to ensure that low-income students have, as much as possible, the same experience in their time at Brown as those of a higher income bracket. It’s a big task.”
In addition to launching the new initiatives, the University will establish a working group to further evaluate food insecurity at Brown and a standing committee to assess pressing needs of low-income students.
These new efforts at Brown complement an expanding array of programs and initiatives aimed at enrolling and supporting students from low-income families. For more than 15 years, the University’s undergraduate admission process has been need-blind, meaning inability to pay toward the cost of attendance is never a deterrent to admission. The University meets the full demonstrated financial need of all enrolled undergraduates and beginning next year will replace loans with scholarship funds in all University-packaged financial aid awards through The Brown Promise initiative.
Last year, Brown joined the American Talent Initiative, an alliance working to expand access for talented students from low-income families, began to automatically waive the application fee for low-income students, and opened one of the country’s first dedicated centers for first-generation and low-income students.
The University also offers funding to assist income-eligible students with health insurance, travel, food and housing during spring and winter recess, and emergency funding to cover urgent, unanticipated non-academic needs such as health and medical care costs and copays, travel costs related to medical emergencies or death in their immediate family, and winter clothing. | <urn:uuid:19456325-798c-4c38-919b-314093422c1f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://news.brown.edu/articles/2018/05/support | 2018-11-15T23:31:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742963.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115223739-20181116005739-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.965157 | 1,292 | [

It’s Thursday again, and hopefully after four delicious Turkish recipes you still have room for some dessert! For one last time during this Turkish Series, my friend Ceren from Istanbul suggested Sutlac Dessert, nothing less than rice pudding with a hint of vanilla and cinnamon. The very first bite of it will awaken your childhood memories, the sweet smell of vanilla and cinnamon will bring you back to those after school afternoon filled with homework when either mom or grandma would cheer you up with a chilled, creamy rice pudding.
One of the favorite Ottoman desserts, which at the time was usually flavored with rose-water, Sutlac Dessert is still a very popular home made dish, as well as a dessert you can often find on restaurant menus.
On the note of such a simple yet ethereal treat, we must now say goodbye to our Turkish Series. We hope you enjoyed it and stay tuned for more recipes from around the world to come!
1 liter of milk (plus an extra 1/2 cup for mixing the starch)
1/2 a cup of rice
1 cup of sugar
1 tablespoon of starch
1/2 a package of vanilla
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Clean the rice and boil slowly in 1 cup of water. Add milk and boil for 10 more minutes. Add sugar and stir until it dissolves.
Mix the starch with half a cup of milk ad then add it into the rest of the milk and rice mixture. Bring to a boil then remove from heat and add in vanilla. Cover and let sit for 10 minutes.
Pour into serving bowls while it is still warm. Sprinkle cinnamon on top once it has cooled.
Note: if desired make sutlac in the oven during directions 1-3
if desired mix starch with 2 eggs and 1 cup of milk before adding it to the milk and rice mixture.then add in vanilla.
If desired put the pudding into oven safe bowls and set on a tray with water in it then put bowls in the oven,and use overhead heat to toast the tops of the pudding. | <urn:uuid:757bd0f4-bcb7-4809-aeb9-b415d67595c3> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://rometti.wordpress.com/category/cook-n-bake/turkish-series/ | 2018-11-15T22:57:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742963.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115223739-20181116005739-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.946829 | 424 | [

Rescued Cat Rescues Human
Patricia and Myron proudly show off Monty wearing the medal he received during his induction into the Purina Hall of Fame for saving Patricia's life.
What is this world coming to that cats are becoming more famous than their owners (mine included)?!
Patricia doesn't mind that Monty, one-third of her orange kitties' "gang of three" (Monty, Mickey and Max), is more famous than she. After all, he did save her life. So, this past May, (2012), it was the least she could do to accompany her hero on his plane trip to Toronto, Canada to be publicly inducted into the Purina Animal Hall of Fame. Monty is now one of 155 esteemed pets since 1986, to have earned this highest of pet honors.
How did Patricia end up with such a prized cat as Monty? She adopted him from a humane society two years ago to befriend her cat, Max. "Max loved to take camping trips with us, but sometimes we just could not accommodate him, and we didn't want to have to leave him home alone. My idea was to get him a kitten but after seeing then holding, Monty, who leaned into me as I held him, the 'instant bonding' was unmistakable; we definitely belonged together.
When Monty arrived 'home', the usual sniffing, hissing, loud proclaiming of, 'I'll show you who's boss', etc., went on. It was all for 'show', though, because it really didn't matter to them who ended up at the top of our family's kitty 'totem pole'. Soon, both cats curled up to sleep at night with my husband, Myron, and me, as though they'd been doing this forever.
Monty is a 15-pound, bandana-wearing character! He returned home from a vet visit sporting a bandana and objected when I removed it, so hasn't been seen without one of his collection of five ever since."
One night three months into his adoption, gentle Monty underwent a very unexpected purr-sonality change. While Patricia was in a very deep sleep, Monty began biting her fingers, continuing until she finally awakened. Patricia's sleep was deeper than normal because she actually was going into a diabetic coma! Monty sensed this life-threatening emergency and instinctively sensed that he had to wake Patricia up before it was too late. He'd recently been adopted by a wonderful "mom" and was not about to lose her.
Patricia was a "new" diabetic, having been diagnosed in the previous month, so she was still in the process of learning all about this condition with its accompanying blood sugar level fluctuations. On that almost-fateful night, her blood sugar had dropped to a dangerously low level while she slept.
"I continually pushed Monty away as he pestered me", said Patricia. "I was in a fog and upset because he had never bitten me or anyone else before. The more I pushed him away, the harder he'd bite, until I was angry enough to wake up. That's when I knew I was in trouble. I was dizzy, and had blurred vision. Then, I realized that Monty had been biting the fingers on my left hand, my 'blood sugar-testing' fingers!
Rather than wake my 'worry wart' husband, I staggered down the hallway into the kitchen with Monty at my left side all the way. He leaned into my left leg for support with each step I took, and meowed to keep me alert and awake. When we entered the kitchen, Monty did something unfathomable-- he jumped up onto the counter, sat on my blood sugar testing kit, and meowed! He was forcing me to focus on the kit through my 'fogginess'. As I reached the counter, he stepped off of the kit so I could use it. My blood sugar had dropped to 2.7 (normal is 5.0-8.0; my doctor later verified that I was near comatose).
I took some sugar tablets, and then laid down on the living room couch. Every time I started to fall asleep, Monty proceeded to parade up and down my body, meowing and 'punching bread' (kneading) on my chest to keep me awake. After the sugar pills took effect, I retested my blood sugar level and it was normal. So I turned to Monty and said, 'It's good now. Can we go back to bed?' He immediately ran ahead of me into the bedroom. He usually sleeps at the foot of the bed but this time as I slipped under the covers so did he, burrowing down at my side for the rest of the night. I have loved cats throughout my entire life so far, and have rescued many, but to have a cat rescue me was a first!
How famous is Monty? So famous that he has given 15 radio, TV, newspaper, and pet magazine interviews! Owning a famous cat is time consuming," laughs Patricia, "but I am proud to share him with the world to promote 'adult' pet adoptions from shelters."

Jeff Wells, D.V.M.'s books, "All My Patients Kick and Bite" and "All My Patients Have Tales" offer a humorous perspective on the ups, downs, and "poop" scoop of his veterinary career, including doctor to pet/client interactions. He writes about pant-tugging puppies, nanny/nursemaid dogs, saving horses in snow storms, and working near a bull who considered it "his" duty to teach the doctor a "lesson". Dr. Jeff and his cat-astrophes rate a "high" on the chucklemeter. http://allmypatientshavetales.com/

She loved looking at your fishtank, and also drunkenly banging like wild animals, but she left a ton of shit at your place. Thankfully, you have 23 very specific pledges to help take care of the items, so that you don’t have to.
1. Her Dignity
She was recorded on video saying that she wouldn’t sleep with you. Paparazzi Pledge got her this morning leaving your room.
2. Bobby Pins
While you aren’t quite sure how so many got into your bed, having the Geriatric Treasure Hunter Pledge come in with metal detector and find them all never gets old.
It’s more than a little gross, but it will look nice hanging from Tree Pledge in the front yard.
4. A Shoe
Disney Prince Pledge will be in Prince Phillip attire in the Student Union from 2pm until 6pm, asking women to try on all of the random shoes left behind from the night before.
Depending on the quality of the bra, either Bra Hoarder Pledge will hold onto it for pickup, or Goodwill Pledge will deliver it to a homeless woman, and mark up one hour of community service completed for you.
If it is one contact, it probably isn’t in its case. You will not see this contact, and whatever pledge vacuums your room will not see it when he vacuums it up. If they are in the case, it probably is in your bathroom.
7. Hair Extensions
Did you bang a cancer patient? Did you rip out a sizable chunk of her hair? Is it real hair? Is it fake hair? Giant Lint Roller Pledge will not be able to answer any of these questions for you, but he will be able to take care of the initial problem of having a creepy amount of hair in your bed.
8. Purity Ring
Jonas Brother Pledge and Irony Pledge will chicken box over who gets to have the honor of throwing the ring away.
9. “Orgasm” Makeup
While you don’t understand the naming choice, Rupaul Pledge will have to put it on and wear it throughout the day.
Less disturbing than the hair extensions and easier to identify, you will call in Dirty Laundry Sniff-Checker Pledge to come in because you are a sadistic motherfucker, and Dirty Laundry Sniff-Checker Pledge probably has it coming.
After Inappropriate Text Back To Mom Pledge lets the slam’s mom know that she has been having problems with loose stool, he will turn the phone over to High Value Lost And Found Pledge for safe-keeping.
12. Fake ID
Illegal Contraband Pledge will confiscate the item.
13. Real ID
After Snapchat Pledge sends a picture of the ID with your name and “#Banged” to all of the brothers, he will turn the ID one over to Jake, from StateFarm Pledge, who will assist the slam is having her items returned, because the PM doesn’t really understand how insurance works.
14. Credit Card
Credit Card Fraud pledge will be sent to a sex shop where he will attempt to purchase marital aides that will provide a good laugh to the slam’s parents when they get their monthly statement.
15. An Earring
After First Aid Pledge cleans and dresses the puncture wound in your back from the stud earring that was left in your bed, Parent Trap Ear-Piercing Pledge will wear the earring in his right ear.
16. A Dress
This one will be hung on Tree Pledge as well.
17. Fake Boobs
While you were certain that she was rocking D’s the night before, and Yes-Man Pledge will agree with you on that, you are still impressed by the heft of these bad boys. After you and your brothers get a good laugh out of playing baseball with these, Non-Surgical Breast Enhancement Pledge will wear these when he goes with Rupaul Pledge to their 2pm class.
18. Hair Tie
Hair Tie Wristband Pledge will wear this, along with roughly thirty others, on his wrist.
19. Michael Kors Watch
You will have Anal Negotiation Bargaining Chip Pledge hold onto this one. | <urn:uuid:f85e1453-8173-4a66-ba3a-106c23255bb5> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://totalfratmove.com/the-23-pledges-you-use-to-deal-with-the-19-things-she-left-at-your-place/ | 2018-11-18T09:49:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744348.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118093845-20181118115845-00521.warc.gz | en | 0.942763 | 934 | [

Ahmed is a five month old boy from Southern Iraq.
When Ahmed was born, his family knew from his blue lips that there was something wrong but they had no idea it was his heart. Ahmed’s parents were told, like too many, that there was no hope for Ahmed to be operated on in Iraq. His best and only hope was to be sent abroad for surgery.
Ahmed’s father owns a local shop and his mother is a teacher but she’s been without a job for the past two years. One income in Iraq simply isn’t enough to afford all the costs that go into sending your child abroad for surgery.
It was because of their situation that local doctors called them last week, urging them to bring in Ahmed for surgery. I asked Ahmed’s mother what her reaction was when she heard that Ahmed could be operated on here in Iraq. She just smiled and said, “How can I possibly describe that feeling?”
Ahmed is going into surgery within the next few hours. Stay tuned…

A federal judge ruled on Friday that the developer of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) does not have to inform the public about potential spill risks.
The ruling was the latest in an ongoing battle between Energy Transfer Partners and two indigenous tribes. The Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux wanted the data on spill risks to be made public, so they could push for more environmental impact studies.
However, Energy Transfer Partners believes that making such information public would increase the risk for vandalism and terrorism by identifying weak spots in the pipeline. While it was confirmed that someone used a torch to burn holes in portions of the pipeline last month, the term “terrorism” has been thrown around all too casually when it comes to the Dakota Access Pipeline.
Senator Al Franken challenged the FBI as members of their Joint Terrorism Task Force investigated several protesters. Franken said that such investigations “risk chilling the exercise of constitutional rights.”
In his ruling, US District Judge James Boasberg said that details about spill risks could be kept under wraps, but details like areas that could be impacted by spills or plans for spill mitigation cannot remain secret.
According to AP, Boasberg said “the asserted interest in limiting intentionally inflicted harm outweighs the tribes’ generalized interests in public disclosure and scrutiny.”
Oil began flowing through the Dakota Access Pipeline in March after lengthy protests. Local tribes and environmental activists occupied an incomplete stretch of the pipeline over concerns that a spill would contaminate sacred grounds and vital water sources. The protesters managed to delay DAPL’s completion for ten months before Donald Trump cleared the way for work to resume.
While the pipeline is coming online, the tribes still have ongoing legal challenges pending against Energy Transfer Partners and the US Army Corps of Engineers. | <urn:uuid:95f411ef-5e0b-4db9-a3d5-c15046e364f7> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://trofire.com/2017/04/20/judge-rules-dapl-developer-can-keep-spill-risks-secret/ | 2018-11-19T18:58:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746061.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119171420-20181119193420-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.954744 | 361 | [

One of the most overlooked appliances in a home is the humble water heater. This appliance keeps homes supplied with hot water but it is often placed in areas of the home that receive little attention, such as the basement or a closet. The average lifespan of a water heater is around ten years but with proper maintenance, this can be higher. Knowing the warning signs to look for is important so homeowners will know when they need to call a plumber to check their Water Heaters Fort Wayne IN.
Common Signs of Problems With Water Heaters
If a homeowner notices they have no hot water at all, there can be a few different issues. A lack of hot water can be caused by no power to the hot water heater. It could also mean the pilot light is out or the heating element is broken. This issue needs immediate attention from a plumber so the hot water heater can be returned to full working order.
Homeowners may notice changes in their hot water supply quality when their hot water heater is breaking down. Water color and taste changes may occur when the liner of the tank begins to break down. If the water is rusty colored or cloudy and it begins to take on strange odors and tastes, it is time to call a plumber to check the Water Heaters Fort Wayne IN. If this issue is left in place, eventual leaks will begin to occur.
Should a homeowner begin noticing unusual sounds with their water heater, it is important to have it checked. Clanging and banging are not normal and should never be ignored. These strange noises often occur when the tank is breaking down and becoming corroded. Pieces of the corrosion break off and come in contact with the heating element, burning up and making noises.
Call For Service
Homeowners who have noticed the above signs of problems with their water heater are urged to call Brockman Heating & Air Conditioning right away. They will be happy to schedule your service appointment so your water heater can be carefully checked for any signs of problems.

Canal and river restoration projects across the country will benefit from more than £13,000 raised by IWA’s first Waterways Restoration Raffle, which ended in mid-January after five and a half months of ticket sales.
In all, over 7,000 tickets were sold by IWA directly and through restoration groups.
IWA’s National Chairman, Les Etheridge praised the generosity of ticket buyers and thanked the donors of raffle prizes, which included a number of boating breaks and holidays.
“The fact that we beat our original fundraising target well before ticket sales closed is a tribute to the enduring popularity of the waterways” he commented.
IWA has a long history of leading and supporting waterway restoration. It offers expertise and advice to restoration trusts, societies and associations through its consultants and restoration committee, while its Waterway Recovery Group provides practical and technical support to waterways restoration projects as well as providing skills training for volunteers.
Visit IWA's website for a full list of winners and restoration projects that have benefited from the raffle.
Last year, IWA submitted a response to Canal & River Trust’s (CRT) Mooring Sales Consultation, which was followed up with up with a meeting with CRT in December. This allowed IWA to further discuss its views on CRT’s mooring sales proposals, as outlined below.
CRT has identified the need to change its existing mooring sales process to grow its value through the improvement of systems, the reduction of costs and an increase in occupancy whilst also improving customer service levels. CRT has suggested that cost efficiencies may be secured by rationalising the overall number of mooring sites that CRT manages, which it believes will drive improvements at the rest of the sites within the portfolio. In addition, CRT has acknowledged that the existing mooring sales system is not wholly successful as many moorings fail to let, which the Trust attributed to a combination of factors including pricing, varying demand, processes and publicity.
At the meeting in December, it was agreed that, where possible, CRT must let mooring space at the market rate for the area and that, as CRT operate a much wider range of moorings than other providers, site tariffs should vary in accordance with services provided. The services offered at CRT moorings fall into one of three categories:
It was suggested that the demand for CRT sites offering full services has or would decrease in areas where new commercial marinas have been established. Despite this, CRT should continue to offer moorings and do more to publicise the availability of its minimal and average serviced sites.
The two issues of low and high demand and occupancy at certain sites was also discussed. CRT proposed that the rationalisation of some sites that were no longer feasible due to low occupancy could produce simple cost savings. Where occupancy levels were low at a number of sites in the same area, boaters could be moved to one site and the other sites closed. IWA suggested that prior to considering such closures, tariffs could be reduced to encourage more boaters to moor there, generating a more positive view of the site that could ultimately attract more boaters and perhaps an improvement in sustainability of demand. CRT indicated that such a policy had been successful in the past.
It was also agreed that CRT’s current auction system did not work at many sites where there was low demand, and that a system that advertises and sells the moorings at a fixed price on a first come first served basis could be more effective.
CRT added that in all cases pricing policy continued to be carefully considered to insure that CRT moorings reflect the appropriate market rate for similar serviced moorings in the area. However, the Trust also said that where moorings have been continually discounted below the guide price to encourage demand, a whole site price reduction would be implemented at the next review. This effectively reduces the market rate in the area for the same level of services.
At the other end of the scale where moorings are in demand and high levels of occupancy do or are expected to occur, CRT suggested this could be utilised to lead to mooring co-operatives. Mooring co-operatives are already being investigated in the London area where CRT hopes to work with appropriate groups to assist them in taking up lease schemes for some offside mooring sites. It was noted that the mooring situation in London was not typical of the rest of the network and that it only indicated how circumstances might develop in other heavily urbanised areas.
Unlike at low demand sites, it was agreed that CRT’s auction system was more effective in areas where demand is known to be high. It was thought that reserve prices should remain unspecified but a 'bids over' guide price could be suggested to aid boaters in the auction process. However, if an auction did not result in a letting then the site vacancy should be advertised at an open 'buy now' price.

Photo: Phase 1 buildings alongside the Grand Union Canal at Brentford
The second phase of a 520 home waterside development in Brentford has been approved by Hounslow Council and Mæ Architects appointed to design the latest phase of buildings.
The second phase of work at Brentford Lock West will see 141 new homes built and new commercial space created along Commerce Road. The site is owned by ISIS Waterside Regeneration and includes an area of land between Commerce Street to the west and the Grand Union Canal to the east. In March 2012, outline planning application for the whole site was approved by Hounslow Council. The outline application, which consisted of around 500 dwellings, commercial space and a watersports hub, showed that the development would be implemented in a five to seven year programme and detailed schemes for each part of the site would be submitted in separate phases.
Final approval for the detailed Phase 2 plans was granted on 22nd December and consists of two residential blocks, with a selection of four bedroom town houses and one, two and three bedroom apartments, at the centre of the site.
IWA Middlesex Branch has followed the development. The Branch submitted no comments on the second phase planning application as it felt the plan’s details were in compliance with the approved regulatory plans and planning parameters. The Branch was also generally supportive of Phase 1 development, which has included towpath improvements, new mooring rings and smart card service bollards for boaters. However, the Branch did question CRT and ISIS’s installation of a floating pontoon on the dock edge. It was revealed this had been installed without planning permission, which was then applied for retrospectively. The pontoon was placed at its current location to provide a launching site for the paddle sports hub that is temporarily located close by. It has been agreed that the hub will not remain here and IWA Middlesex Branch advised the Council that if it intended to grant retrospective planning permission for the pontoon, it should only be temporary until the hub moves as in its current position the pontoon prevents boats from mooring in front of the Brentford Lock West marketing suite. As such the pontoon has planning permission until February 2019.
On completion of Phase 2, the northern part of the site, designated for commercial use, will be developed, followed by the provision of affordable housing in the final phase.
ISIS Waterside Regeneration is jointly owned by CRT and MUSE Developments. Half of its returns are re-invested by CRT to maintain and enhance waterways in its care.

IWA Chiltern Branch has donated £750 to Chesterfield Canal Trust (CCT), a donation that was possible due to the Branch’s successful fundraising throughout 2014. An initial donation of £250 was made in gratitude of CCT’s excellent welcome and itinerary put together for IWA Chiltern Branch members who visited the Chesterfield Canal during their Branch weekend away. A further donation of £500 was made during IWA Chiltern Branch’s allocation of funds at the year-end. The Branch identified CCT’s work as worthy of investment and was sure the Trust would use the money well.

IWA is saddened to report the death of Bob Huntsman on 4th January at the age of 90. Bob joined IWA in 1974 and soon took an active role as a member on IWA East Riding Branch’s committee, which he sat on until 2013. His principal waterways interest was in navigation issues on local waterways and he spent a lot of time on issues linked to the Driffield Navigation system. This included time as an appointed commissioner to the Driffield Navigation Trust, a role that allowed him to liaise between IWA and the Trust. In addition, he was very much involved with ambitious plans to develop navigation at Hedon Haven.
IWA is saddened to report the death of Des Pinnock on 7th January. Des joined IWA Gloucestershire Branch committee in early 1985 and was branch secretary until 1994. He was also chairman of the Gloucester 1990 National Waterways Festival, which was a successful and profitable event. In 1993 Des joined Cotswold Canals Trust's council and took on the role of membership secretary. Despite resigning from the council in 2010, Des continued as membership secretary until his death.
IWA is saddened to report the death of Mrs Lee Helliwell. Lee was a long-standing IWA supporter for many years alongside her husband Darryl Helliwell, who was twice IWA North West Region chairman. Lee worked closely with Joan Heap, wife of the former IWA national chairman John Heap. Joan chaired a successful informal IWA fundraising committee and it was in these activities that Lee was heavily involved. Lee and Darryl were also regular attendees at most of IWA's major campaign events in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Photo: Towpath works on the Caldon Canal
£1.5m has been secured by Staffordshire County Council to allow towpath improvements to continue along the Caldon Canal.
In February 2014, work to improve the towpath along the Caldon Canal, including the Leek Arm, began at Stockton Brook near Stoke-on-Trent. This was part of a £7.5m project, funded by the Government’s National Park Cycle fund and other organisations, to improve cycle access to and around the Peak District. One of the four new cycle ways that was to be developed as part of the project included the Caldon Canal towpath, which was to be improved as a result.
An initial £2m was provided for the towpath improvements and to date the work carried out has helped to link Stockton Brook, Endon and Deep Hayes Country Park. It has been announced that the further £1.5m will be used to finish the towpath improvements as the resurfacing of the towpath to Leek and Cheddleton is yet to be completed.
The estimated completion date is January 2016.
CRT has appealed for four new members to join its partnership caring for the Manchester & Pennine waterways.
Sitting alongside the Trust’s local waterway management team, the voluntary partnership plays an important role in providing strategic direction for the area’s canals and navigable rivers. The aim of the partnership is to give interested parties a voice in the development and management of their local waterways so they can help shape plans, guide the Trust’s spending decisions, develop local engagement and external funding, and champion the interests of the waterways.
The Manchester & Pennine waterway is responsible for seven canals and the Standedge Tunnel Visitor Centre in Marsden. With offices at Kidsgrove, Rochdale and Marsden, the waterway covers a diverse patch that stretches from Huddersfield in the east and Northwich in the west to just north of Stoke-on-Trent in the south.
Partnership meetings are bi-monthly and partners are encouraged to get actively involved in promoting the waterways in their care.
The deadline for applications is 2nd February 2015 and short-listed candidates will be interviewed in February. For more information, contact partnership chairman Walter Menzies on 07736 351024.
CRT has announced the appointment of Ian Rogers as its first permanent head of customer services. The new role supports the Trust’s ten-year strategy to create stronger connections between CRT and the people who use its waterways each year, and is part of a renewed focus to improve the service it offers to customers.
CRT has said the priority of the new role is to lead its programme of customer service improvements, ensuring that all parts of the organisation put customers at the heart of what they do. The role also has direct responsibility for leisure boating, licencing and enforcement.
Ian comes from Aon, the large insurance broker, where he was managing director of the Aon Affinity division. Prior to that, he worked in senior customer service roles at Dataforce, Thomas Cook and Eurostar. He starts with CRT on 2nd February.
Derbyshire County Council has received a grant of £37,500 towards the manufacture and installation of new lock gates at Staveley Town Lock on the Chesterfield Canal from The Veolia Environmental Trust.
The work will be the third phase of a project to construct Staveley Town Lock in Staveley Town Basin and the lock itself is being built by volunteers from Chesterfield Canal Trust.
CRT has announced that over 7,000 tonnes of silt has been dredged from the Shropshire Union Canal near Chester to make the canal easier to navigate for boaters.
CRT has dredged a four-mile section of the canal between Salmons Bridge and Hoole Lane Lock. Along this stretch the dredging has created a 6.7m wide, 1.35 metre deep channel. Work began in mid-November and is due to be completed by the third week in January.
Photo: Hardham Weir fish pass with eel pass attached to weir wall (photo supplied by ECS)
Fish and eel passes have recently been installed at Hardham Weir where the rivers Rother and Arun meet. ECS Engineering undertook the work as part of the Environment Agency’s (EA) programme of coordinated measures designed to help the recovery of fish and eel numbers across the country.
Fish and eel passes allow the animals to by-pass river obstructions, such as Hardham Weir, and continue on their natural migratory path up-stream, where they spawn. Many passes also include eel traps that aid EA in properly recording eel numbers and accurate data about the eel population. This is an important tool in helping EA analyse the effectiveness of its eel management programme and report back to the European Commission.

IWA Birmingham, Black Country & Worcestershire Branch had its first work party of 2015 at Lime Kiln Bridge, Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal, on 14th January. The volunteers carried out a litter pick through the town as far as Caldwall lock and back, collecting about eight bags of rubbish. After warnings of snow, cold and more to come, it was a relief to find the weather bright and sunny, but cold enough to be happy for a lunchtime finish!

IWA North Staffordshire & South Cheshire Branch has a new Cheshire Locks work party organiser, Andy Hellyar-Brook, and January 15th was his first event, as well as the first Cheshire Locks work party of 2015. Six enthusiastic volunteers, with hands-on support from CRT, turned out for the work party at Malkin’s Bank, near Sandbach on the Trent & Mersey Canal. It is well known amongst the volunteers that winter work parties are always a bit of a lottery with regard to conditions, however, on this occasion the weather turned out to be not as bad as forecast, although it was still cold and windy with occasional rain.
Due to this, plans to finish painting Lock 61 could not be carried out. The group set to clearing cobble setts, lock landings and edging along the stone-work around Lock 62 and below Lock 61 instead. In addition, as the hedgerow had shed its leaves it exposed quite a bit of litter, which was also cleared away.
At the foot of Lock 61 volunteers uncovered an unusual cobbled area with large, gently converging stone paving with no clear function. The stone is in excellent condition with very little apparent wear.
Malkin’s Bank flight is looking really tidy and well cared for thanks to all the hard work of volunteers from IWA North Staffordshire & South Cheshire Branch and Trent & Mersey Canal Society and the ongoing support of CRT Manchester & Pennine. The overall impact of the work is plain to see and the work party volunteers are looking to bring the whole of the Cheshire Flight up to this standard progressively over the next three years, a time scale that should insure they can keep up the standard set to date.

Rainbows embark on season-ending road test
By Stacy Kaneshiro
Advertiser Staff Writer
Final exams end tomorrow for the University of Hawai'i, but its baseball season is still going on.
The Rainbows finish their season on the road the next two weekends in Western Athletic Conference play. They open a three-game series Saturday at Nevada, then close at Fresno State May 24-26.
At 16-34 and 5-19 in the WAC, the Rainbows can only play for improving their record already tied for the most losses in the school's program, matching 1997's 22-34 record and their standing in the six-team conference. Nevada (21-29 overall) is fourth at 7-17.
This hasn't been a conventional week for the Rainbows. They held their only home practice Tuesday after having their usual Monday off. They were off yesterday because the state high school tournament is being played at Les Murakami Stadium from 11:30 a.m. through the evening. They departed early this morning for Reno via San Francisco, so the all-day travel will force them to miss another day of practice. But they will work out tomorrow.
"At this time of year, you just try to hit a little bit to stay sharp," UH coach Mike Trapasso said.
Junior Chris George will continue to be the game one pitcher, but freshman Ricky Bauer will move to the second spot. Sean Yamashita was the game two starter in the past six series. Trapasso said he is looking at a number of pitchers to start game three.
"It could still be Sean," he said. "It could Bryan Lee, Aaron Pribble or it could be Quag (William Quaglieri)."
It will depend on who is pressed into relief in the earlier games, Trapasso said.
Pribble, a senior, will make the trip, skipping Sunday's graduation. He will graduate with honors (3.94 grade point average). He had the option to play or take part in commencement exercises, but he never raised the issue, Trapasso said.
"It's just the type of kid he is," Trapasso said. "He's just a special guy."
Selection process: The NCAA is preparing for its selection of regional teams on May 26. Because of events of Sept. 11 and the effects they have had on travel, the composition of regionals is expected to change. In an effort to reduce travel, the regionals are more likely to be composed of teams in their true regions, according to an article in Baseball America Online. That might mean two teams from a same conference in the same regional. It also means some quality teams from strong regions might be left out.
Trapasso said the new selections process is not likely to hurt UH down the road, when it might be a regional contender, because the strength of college baseball is in the South and Southeast. Some teams of the stronger conferences in those areas might otherwise be placed in other regions. Under the new setup, that's not likely to happen.
"From our standpoint, it shouldn't be an odd-man-out situation because we're still under-represented in the West," Trapasso said. "With our strength of schedule, non-conference in particular that we always play, once we start winning and have a winning record, it would be real hard to keep us out."
While at Georgia Tech, he recalled a year the Yellow Jackets didn't make the regionals despite having the 27th-best ratings percentage index.
"The easiest way is to settle it on the field and not put it in the hands of the committee," he said. | <urn:uuid:afdcfba8-57e2-4f68-acd3-8761a5432ef2> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2002/May/16/sp/sp05a.html | 2018-11-21T01:27:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746926.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121011923-20181121033923-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.971705 | 759 | [

1. General prestige. Winning not only give points for a nation, but increase a general prestige.
2. Better support for multiple theater, each theater consist of left army, center army, and right army.
Each army has three division that could face a battle at the same period of time (army resource should be distributed between division).
3. The battle in a sector between opposing division, each has 3 brigade commander (left, center, and right brigade) which is the current SPWAW commander. A sector has 3 battle map (or better, 9 map), the center is where the force meet, and rear map behind each player. When loose a battle with force intact, a new battle will start on the rear map of the loosing side. Player could emulate an arranged withdrawal under fire as Rommel, Zhukov, and Manstein tried to do, while the side with advantage has to try to eliminate enemy force. Multiplayer 3 vs 3.
4. The battle map should be large enough, with escape hex that could be blocked. Having all escape hex blocked by enemy will increase suppression for regular troops.
5. Option for:
a. Objective based movement per company (line movement), per platoon, per section.
b. Auto shooting, where all units will shoot its weapons: weapons free, or shoot only when attacked.
c. Artillery in support for a unit will provide fire support automatically, with options: fire in front of unit (for advancing), fire to protect retreat, and request fire support to attacking enemy.
6. Artillery menu, without bugs, for win10 and Core i7, or simply release the source code :-D | <urn:uuid:c67b049c-f684-4e87-beb5-a99eda711c61> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3799918&mpage=3&key= | 2018-11-21T01:30:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746926.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121011923-20181121033923-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.923829 | 345 | [

Making the decision to sell up and move to a new house is a huge step for anyone. Timing is everything, so do your homework beforehand and consider the following.
The state of the market
Get a feel for the current property climate by reading articles on housing and looking through real estate newspaper sections. If the market is generally going well then it’s usually a good time to sell, although it may be trickier to buy as a strong market can drive prices up. Try not to get panicked by headlines though. Keep a cool head and research the following:
- Suburb reports: available online, these provide a profile of a suburb, its demographics and details of the area’s property sales. Assess whether the suburb is a property hotspot [Buying your next house before selling – the pros and cons], a hidden gem or a slow mover.
- Property reports: also on the web, these can give you the sales history of a house, its current estimated price and how long it has been on the market - all factors to consider before you pounce.
- Agent reports: ask real estate agents for their recent sales’ history brochure for a particular suburb, which will help clarify your selling or buying choices.
Of course the timing of any property decision depends on your financial situation. Online calculators can guide you on mortgage repayments and stamp-duty fees. However, it’s essential you talk to a mortgage lender who can give you a thorough assessment.
Spring is generally considered the best time to sell a property. There’s a buzz as more people suddenly get active, compared to winter, and want to sort things out before the distractions of summer. As there can be more people looking in spring, prices can increase, which is good if you’re selling, but not so good if you’re buying. However, there’s often more stock to choose from. Autumn’s also a strong property time.
Your rental outlay
If you currently rent and pay more in weekly rent than it would cost to service a mortgage in an area you like, then it could be a good time to buy.
If you feel the itch to sell or buy, particularly if it’s out of the blue, discuss it with loved ones first. Feeling bored with an area or home may actually be symptomatic of something else. Make sure you move for the right reasons.
If you are on the right path and the timing is right, you might want to use our online energy calculator
to see how much gas and electricity could cost in your new place. | <urn:uuid:0b1ed9f6-48a9-4616-a602-c02fa0ca9e0e> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.energyaustralia.com.au/blog/lifestyle/when-best-time-buy-or-sell | 2018-11-13T06:57:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741294.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113062240-20181113084240-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.946509 | 540 | [

Computer sciences studies are characterized by the interaction of two very distinct approaches:
- Information, the raw material of computer science, is abstract; hence, computer science, on the one hand, investigates the general conformity of abstract objects and, like mathematics, is one of the structural sciences.
- On the other hand, real systems must be investigated and created, wherein methods and processes of engineering science predominate.
Only by marrying the two can the complexity of modern computer systems be mastered. In the computer science Bachelor’s study program, you will acquire the relevant competences both for abstract and formal thinking as well as for practical application.
- Affinity for mathematics – especially for its formal-abstract methods and logical thinking
- Interest in problem solving strategies and programming
- Interest in understanding dependencies
- No aversion to working with computers
- Good communications ability and open-mindedness
- Good knowledge of English and German
- While previous programming experience is not required, it will make it easier to get started | <urn:uuid:24abc40c-6b29-45ee-b25a-3eacf600a8cd> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.uni-stuttgart.de/en/study/study-programs/program/Computer-Science-B.Sc./ | 2018-11-14T20:14:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742263.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114191308-20181114213308-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.921553 | 207 | [

I've got Zelda on Wii U, and the only other Nintendo game that even partially interests me is Odyssey (Galaxy 2 is one of my favourite of all-time). |
Add on that I have zero interest in the handheld side, not a fan of the piffling on-board storage space, and really didn't like the Joycons when I tried them round a friends, so the increased purchase price of all that impressive tech plus the cost of a Pro Controller and a large SD card really isn't that appealling to me.
I guess it's a sign of what a Bayo/Platinum mark I am that I'd consider it while gritting my teeth thinking how expensive it'll end up

Is Love a Mechanism of Evolution
The phenomenon of love is an area left much unexplored in modern psychological science, even though it is considered the central concern in most cultures, little is understood as to its origins and purpose. According to Evolutionists, love can be understood as a mechanism of evolution, a chemical process driven by selective pressures, while culture and free will play a secondary role in influencing human pair-bonding. However, evidence supporting the claim that biochemical factors are the chief components of intimate love is insufficient in proving that love is a mechanism of evolution and undermines the significant role of culture and free will in pair bonding. The feelings of love are the result of physiology and evolution, as shown in the chemistry of attraction of attachment. However, the acts of choosing a partner, assigning meaning to a special partner, making a commitment, and remaining faithful contradict the determinism found in an evolutionary explanation. Therefore, love is not a mechanism of evolution; it is a biological, social, relational and psychological experience that can not be solely explained by chemical reactions and evolutionary theories.
Love is a universal experience that is responsible for connecting human beings and creating meaningful unions. Studies in neuroscience and biology show that certain biochemical components are associated with the feelings of love. Evolutionary psychologists try to find patterns in the attachment and decay of human relationships to explain the origins of love. Anthropologist Helen Fisher believes that serial monogamy is the primary sexual strategy of human beings after researching divorce statistics. Her findings convince her that love is a mechanism of evolution. Opponents of her proposal argue that love is more than biological. It involves social, psychological and relational factors. Also, an evolutionary explanation of love determines that free will is not possible in human relationships because natural forces alone guide human behavior. Even though Fisher points out that free will and culture may influence pair bonding, other scientists contend that evolutionary forces undermine these influences and ultimately render love meaningless. According to Allott, "... ... the distinction between what is genetic and what is cultural is one which it is not easy to make. Insofar as humans thrive, indeed can only exist, in groups, and "culture" is a group-related concept, and insofar as the fortunes of the group and the behavior of members of the group have directly genetic consequences, the tangle cannot be straightened out." (Allot Robin., 1998) An evolutionary explanation of love is not convincing for it dose not provide sufficient evidence and Fisher's account is often times biased against other plausible explanations that focus on culture and individual decision.
Anthropologists such as Helen Fisher argue that the phenomenon of serial monogamy is supported by world wide divorce statistics. On the other hand, Jerry S. Reber and Marissa S. Beyers argue that no sufficient evidence suggests that serial monogamy is the primary sexual strategy of human beings. (Francoeur & Taverner, 2000) Fisher believes that serial monogamy is "an ancestral cyclic breeding system" (Francoeur & Taverner, 2000) which helps the human species survive. She proposes that physiologically based emotions give rise to the human tendency to remain in a long term relationship for a period of about four years in order to raise a child. Such a relationship is then followed by a general pattern of decay. For example, Fisher believes divorces peak during and around four years after marriage and divorce risk is greatest at the height of reproductive and parenting years. (Francoeur & Taverner, 2000) However, evidence indicates that detachment, an important stage of serial monogamy, is not universal.
According to an article entitled "Is Serial Monogamy Worth Pursuing?" written by Ben-Zeév
in Psychology Today, "here is empirical evidence indicating that monogamy has been prevalent only among a minority of human societies (less than 20%) and an even smaller minority among mammals (about 3%)."
On the basis of a comprehensive study, David Barash and Judith Lipton conclude that there is no evidence that monogamy is somehow "natural" or "normal" for humans; on the contrary, there is abundant evidence that people have long been prone to having multiple sexual partners." (Ben-Zeév Aaron., 2008) Further more, according to an article by Meredith F. Small, an anthropologist at Cornell University, " Anthropologist Sarah Blaffer Hrdy of the University of California, Davis, maintains that this pair-bonded scenario is old-fashioned and probably biased by what Western culture thinks is "right." (Small Meredith. , 2009) Fisher conveniently ignores the fact that universal divorce rate is low and the incident of serial monogamy only applies to a minority of population. In conclusion, bonding statistics do not point to serial monogamy as the primary sexual strategy. (Francoeur & Taverner, 2000) Evidence support Reber and Beyers' argument that love is not a mechanism of evolution and that Fisher's claim is flawed due to a lack of believable evidence.
Feelings of physical attraction, arousal, affection, attachment relating to love are produced by biochemical components. However, cultural forces and free will are ultimately responsible for individual choices in bonding and separation, not evolution. Emotions associated with love are not the reasons humans become attached to one another and decide to then reproduce. They are simply by-products of human relationships which are based on free will and meaning. Helen Fisher uses biochemistry in her explanation of romantic love. She claims that chemicals include testosterone, estrogen, dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, and vasopressin are responsible for feelings of love when one enters a romantic relationship. Dopamine, Norepinephrine, and Seretonin are more commonly found during the attraction phase of a relationship. Oxytocin, and Vasopressin are detected in the attachment phase characterized by peaceful feelings and a heightened production of the endorphins. (Francoeur & Taverner, 2000) For example, "... ...oxytocin dampens the stress response of the sympathetic nervous system and the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis - besides having functional benefits, this is another pathway for rewarding, and thus encouraging, bonding behaviors." (Hanson Rick., 2010) Helen Fisher believes that human emotions related to love are generated by various biochemical processes heavily influenced by evolution. Humans have no control over how they feel when they enter a romantic relationship or terminate one. These emotions evolved over thousands of years, according the Fisher, all to direct serial monogamy, which she believes helps ensure human survival. (Francoeur & Taverner, 2000) She does not insist that evolution has any practical or proven effects on individual decisions in choosing a mate or resolving a problem. However, she believes that evolution ultimately directs fundamental human behavior, that human beings are driven to bond with others not because of their own will, but predetermined forces evolved over time due to natural selection.
Other physical factors such as MHC molecules in human scent are also considered by scientists in explaining attraction. Researchers suggest that these physical characteristics may increase the genetic variability of the human species and ensure its survival. According to Christine Garver-Apgar of the University of New Mexico, "... ...adding that variety in the MHC genes likely strengthens the immune system... ... You may ensure that your children have an immunological advantage. So they may be buffered [against] a wider variety of pathogens and toxins. And in an ancestral environment this would have been very, very important." (Kloza Brad. , 2007) Jerry S. Reber and Marissa S. Beyers argue that while love certainly has a biochemical basis, as shown in the activity of the brain and other physical signs of arousal and attraction, biology does not produce, nor determine love. (Francoeur & Taverner, 2000) For instance, when taken out of context, one's racing heart could mean many different things in different situations. It is only when one creates a connection with another person and willingly accepts that connection, does that physical activity have any applicable meaning. (Francoeur & Taverner, 2000) Relationships directed by humans determine the meaning of love. Without this acknowledgement of love, a racing heart would mean nothing. Love is not a product of biology, nor is it a phenomenon guided by evolutionary forces. A racing heart is not meaningful because it leads to human bonding and reproduction; it is only meaningful if a special bond is already created.
Humans do not love because mating leads to offspring. Humans love because of cultural forces and free will. However, Fisher is most likely correct in stating that the emotions of romantic love have a biological basis and human beings have no control over how they feel when they fall in or out of love. Jerry S. Reber and Marissa S. Beyers provide a more convincing argument against Fisher's claim that love is a mechanism of evolution. They point out that serial monogamy is not the primary sexual strategy of humans and does not support Fisher's argument that evolution is the driving force behind romantic relationships. Furthermore, Reber and Beyers objectively assess Fisher's statistical evidence of general decay patterns and determine that her interpretation is false and her argument is biased. They explain that a biological explanation of love fails to take into account important cultural influences and rejects the power of free will. A biological explanation reduces love to a meaningless tool of natural selection, reduces culture to a mere facilitator, an insignificant by-product of a purely biological process.
