Migraine Headaches, Yoga and Me
A migraine headache attack
It began for me on a Monday evening. I finished dinner and prepared to relax for a few hours in front of the television. I noticed a pain in my forehead above the left eyebrow but tried to ignore it. A short time later I sneezed, and from that moment the ache in my head was increasingly severe. I took Tylenol to ease the pain, but it did nothing. Frustrated and miserable I went to bed, remembering that whenever I went to bed with a headache it was usually gone by morning. This time was different, however. More Tylenol offered no relief, and I applied a cold, wet washcloth to my forehead. The compress helped somewhat but not enough, and the headache limited me to less than two hours of actual sleep. Eventually my stomach became upset and I threw up twice in the night. By sunrise I felt dizzy and slightly disoriented. This was the worst headache I had ever experienced.
When morning came, a tingling sensation in my arms was added to my list of symptoms and I elected to visit my doctor. He was worried enough to have an ambulance transport me to the hospital for tests. After doctors were assured I wasn’t the victim of a heart attack or stroke, I was told I was suffering from a migraine headache. I felt better the following day, but the headache did not entirely subside for more than three days.
Although I suffered frequently from sinus headaches, I had no history of migraines and it was suggested that stress triggered this episode. Given the severity of my headache, I was certainly grateful that this wasn’t a regular occurrence for me. I have had migraines several times since I suffered my first headache. It is not a regular problem, but when they occur, the pain is overwhelming.

The face of pain
What is a migraine and how is it treated?
Approximately 17% of the population gets a migraine headache sometime in their life (over one billion men and women worldwide)! It has been estimated that over 300 million people get migraines regularly and some don’t even know it, believing they are suffering from sinus headaches.
A migraine is a specific type of headache that is severe and is often accompanied by a variety of symptoms. It is commonly believed they are the result of the irritation and inflammation of nerve endings caused by a constriction of arteries to the brain which reduces blood flow, followed by dilation or widening of the arteries. A sudden shift from constricted to dilated arteries causes the pain. Scientists now suspect, however, that they are caused by inherited abnormalities in genes that control activities in some cell populations in the brain. Migraine headaches are often triggered by specific substances or causes including caffeine, red wine, chocolate and aged cheese. Emotional stress, physical exertion, bright or fluorescent lights, high altitude or changes in weather can also cause an attack. Symptoms can include severe headache, nausea and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, dizziness, blurred vision and tingling in the face, arms or legs. The symptoms can vary widely between persons and episodes.
There are a host of preventive and pain-relieving medications employed to combat the symptoms of migraine headaches, and they are used with varying degrees of effectiveness. Preventive treatments are typically considered when medications to relieve migraine symptoms are ineffective. In most instances preventive medications don’t eliminate headaches completely, and some can cause serious side-effects.
Treatments for migraines that don’t include medication include exercise, massage, aromatherapy, heat and/or cold, acupuncture and herbal remedies. Avoiding migraine triggers through controlling diet and avoiding stress are also important in managing headache pain. Each method for treating migraines has supporters, but nothing seems to be 100% effective.
In a search for relief from headache pain, a wealth of “home remedies” has also been shared. Magnesium pills, peppermint oil, ginger root, Gatorade, tea with honey, induced vomiting and even a towel or pillowcase wrapped tightly around one’s head are among the many solutions found in online searches. The sheer volume of ideas offers many possibilities for those seeking a respite from pain.
Prescription medication, alternative treatments or home remedies—no matter what our preferred treatment may be, we still seem to be in agony. Many people find satisfactory remedies, but others suffer alone in a darkened room until the pain subsides. I have yet to discover a treatment that entirely alleviates my pain and have resorted to preventive measures. I decided to fight back against migraine headaches at the first sign of an attack.
Yoga techniques as a remedy for migraine headaches
Migraine treatments and me
On recent occasions when I felt a migraine looming, I attempted to combat it proactively. My primary tool for minimizing my symptoms was gentle yoga. Focusing on my breath, posture and relaxation has been instrumental in reducing headache pain.
At the onset of a migraine headache, I sit on the floor with my back straight and eyes shut, focusing on my breathing. I inhale through my nose slowly but without holding my breath. Long, extended breaths release endorphins that naturally relieve stress, headache and back pain. Deep breathing increases oxygen to my brain and calm my thoughts. If my headache has not yet reached a stage where the movement of my head increases the pain, I will lift my head up and back as I inhale, and lower it toward my chest when exhaling. I also practice Anuloma Viloma Pranayam, wherein I systematically breathe in through one nostril and exhale through the other, using my thumb and index finger to regulate my breathing.
Neck and shoulder stretches relieve tension that often contributes to headache pain. Slowly circling my head in rhythm with deep breaths releases stress in both my neck and shoulders and helps me to focus on breathing. Alternating the cat (down on hands and knees with back arched) and cow (down on hands and knees with back swayed) poses achieves similar results. With seated poses, I am careful to keep my back straight and shoulders down. I am simultaneously cautious to avoid postures which raise my heart above my head. Simply bending over often worsens a headache for me, and it was clear from the outset that yoga postures that cause blood to rush to my head are counterproductive.
I hold each position only for as long as it is comfortable to do so when warding off a headache. When I am finished, I meditate in a savasana. In this position I lower myself to the floor onto my back. My arms are at rest at my sides, my palms are up and my shoulders are pulled away from my ears. My legs are extended in a relaxed position and my feet fall to their sides. My focus is entirely on relaxation, and I will often imagine a “happy spot” to fix my attention. This visualization is a place where I feel calm and at peace; the outside world does not intrude here. I imagine myself alone in the mountains, feeling the sunshine on my face and a cool, autumn-like breeze. The happy spot will be different for everyone, of course.
Will yoga work for you in combating migraine headaches? It is difficult to predict results, but with a basic knowledge of its practice, you can fight the debilitating pain in a safe and inexpensive way. Alone or in conjunction with other remedies, yoga might be exactly what is needed to help conquer the pain you’re suffering.
Good luck and good health.

The procedures described here are not recommended as a substitute for medical advice or treatment; nor are they intended as instruction for those beginning the practice of yoga. For reasons of safety and health, consult a doctor and a certified yoga instructor before attempting these or any yoga techniques.

Jordan Pehanick is the sexy MLB wag dating Dillon Tate. Her 22-year-old boyfriend has found a new home with the NY Yankees.
According to recent reports, the Rangers will acquire Yankees DH Carlos Beltran for RHP Dillon Tate and a low-level prospect.
Jordan’s fella was born Michael Dillon Tate on May 1, 1994. According to a scouting report when he was drafted, “Noting Tate’s projectable frame and easy arm action when he was working in the upper 80s as a high school senior in 2012, scouts figured he could make a big velocity jump after moving on to UC Santa Barbara. He pitched just three innings as a freshman before taking that huge step forward in 2014, putting him in position to become the first Gaucho ever drafted in the top two rounds. His stock took another leap in 2015 as Santa Barbara’s ace, becoming the best college arm in the Draft class.”
Tate was taken fourth overall by the Rangers in the 2015 draft out of the University of California, Santa Barbara. Days later he was assigned to Spokane Indians. From Spokane Indians, Tate was assigned to Hickory Crawdads –while with them Dillon was placed on the 7-day disabled list in April. He was off the list the next month.
As for his lovely girlfriend, we also have some interesting dirt on her. She is also an athlete and attended UCSB –where the couple met and fell in love. Jordan Pehanick was born Jordan Joel Pehanick on January 26, 1993 to parents Joe and Jodi. Jordan has three younger sisters – Allison, Gabrielle and Madison.
According to her Volleyball player profile, she enjoys swimming and hanging out with her friends in her free time. She was also recruited by Seattle, Cal Poly and Santa Clara.
In high school, Jordan Pehanick was a three-time letterwinner at Bishop O’Dowd High. She helped lead the Dragons to Hayward Area Athletic League titles in 2008, 2009 and 2010. She was a All-HAAL pick in 2009 and 2010 and an All-East Bay choice in 2010.
While playing for the Women’s Volleyball team at UCSB, she played in eight matches, totaling 15 games in her freshman season. In her sophomore season, Jordan entered 24 matches, second best among UCSB reserves. Pehanick totaled two kills, 10 digs, one ace, and one block for the year.
Accoridng to her LinkedIn, Jordan Pehanick graduated from UCSB with a Bachelor’s degree, Sociology last year. Her resume includes working as an accountant assistant and a social media coordinator for Zaca Mesa Winery.

How Do I know If My CL600 Air Suspension is failing?
Stay on top of these common signs of failed or leaking suspension in your 2001-2006 Mercedes-Benz CL600. You don’t want to let them go on forever because other components will wear out, too. The most noticeable sign is a sudden uneven height difference between sides of the vehicle. The CL600 might have a sagging rear or front, or one side might be more inflated than the other. Perhaps the entire CL600 looks like it’s squatting low to the ground. An inconsistent or inappropriate ride height is a bad sign. Other signs include a warning light or message illuminated on the instrument cluster. Check the air compressor- is it working too hard, or not working at all? If any of these symptoms are present in your Mercedes Benz CL600, you may need a repair or replacement immediately.

Suspension Components List
The 2001-2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 is built with the following suspension components:
2001-2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 Hydraulic Reservoirs (x4)- (models with hydraulic active suspension). If your model of Mercedes-Benz has this, then the steering pump also pushes hydraulic fluid to your
2001-2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 Hydraulic Struts (x4)- a plastic and rubber bag that is fitted onto a strut that uses pressurized hydraulic fluid as a cushion instead of a metal coil spring to hold a vehicle off of the ground and off of its wheels. These struts are controlled by the suspension control module, which is also responsible for redistributing hydraulic fluid to the struts as a means of weight distribution while cornering. All hydraulic springs all go bad at about the same rate. If one is leaking, the others will not be far behind. For a proper repair, all of them need to be replaced at the same time.
2001-2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 Height Sensors (x4)- a linkage located near each wheel of a vehicle with any electronic suspension that, either mechanically or electronically, constantly measures the height of the vehicle, and reports this information back to the control module so that the computer can identify if changes in height need to be adjusted accordingly. The ride height sensor is a moving part, and like all moving parts, they will eventually wear out.
2001-2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 Hydraulic Lines- tubes that run from a a hydraulic pump to the hydraulic which carry pressurized hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic struts in order to adjust the height of the vehicle as well as redistribute weight while cornering.
2001-2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 Hydraulic Pump- if your Mercedes has hydraulic suspension instead of air suspension, then the hydraulic steering pump will also serve as the reservoir for the hydraulic fluid going into the struts.
2001-2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 Suspension Control Module- a computer which is responsible for the operations of the air suspension system and maintaining the vehicleâs correct ride height.
2001-2006 Mercedes Benz CL600 O-rings- Although they are the least expensive parts of the air suspension, they are responsible for maintaining the seal where all of the air lines connect. Be sure to replace the O-rings when repairing any air suspension system.

This Cochrane Review summarises trials evaluating the effects of
artemisinin-naphthoquine compared to other artemisinin-based combination
therapies (ACTs) recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for
treating adults and children with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria.
After searching for relevant trials up to January 2015, we included 4
randomized controlled trials, enrolling 740 adults and children.
Uncomplicated malaria is the mild form of malaria which usually causes a
fever, with or without headache, tiredness, muscle pains, abdominal
pains, nausea, and vomiting. If left untreated, uncomplicated malaria
can develop into severe malaria with kidney failure, breathing
difficulties, fitting, unconsciousness, and eventually death.
The WHO recommends ACT for treating people with P. falciparum malaria.
5 combinations are currently recommended, all administered over 3
days. Artemisinin-naphthoquine is a new combination developed in China,
which is being marketed and evaluated as one-day or three-day regimens.
Artemisinin-naphthoquine versus artemether-lumefantrine
In 3 small trials from Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, and Papua New Guinea,
both artemisinin-naphthoquine and AL had a very low incidence of
treatment failure at Day 28 (low quality evidence), and in the trial
from Papua New Guinea it remained low in both groups at Day 42 (very low
Artemisinin-naphthoquine versus dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine
In a single small study from Indonesia, treatment failure at Day 28 and
Day 42 was very low with both artemisinin-naphthoquine and DHA-P (very
low quality evidence).
The results of these few trials of artemisinin-naphthoquine are
promising, but larger trials from multiple settings are required to be
confident that artemisinin-naphthoquine is as effective and well
tolerated as other antimalarials.
This research is supported by the Department for International Development’s Evidence Building and Synthesis Research Programme which is led by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., - A 28-year-old man who was shot and killed at the Kings Inn motel in Arlington was identified by police as Cornelius Adrian Holmes, News4Jax learned Wednesday.
Officers were called just before midnight Wednesday to a shooting at the motel on Arlington Expressway, just west of the Southside Connector.
Police said that, at the back of the motel complex, they found a man who had been shot. The man, who was later identified as Holmes, was taken to a hospital, where he died.
His death was being investigated as a murder, the Sheriff's Office said.
Motel guests told News4Jax that the victim was known by the nickname "Fat Boy" and lived in a room at the motel, where people can pay weekly for a room.
One of the guests said he called 911 after hearing the gunshots late Tuesday night.
“All I heard was four gunshots, really quick. 'Pow. Pow. Pow. Pow.' Then, a minute later, I heard a guy yelling," said the man, who wished to remain anonymous.
Melissa Kendrick said she had known the victim for several months.
“He was shot, I believe, five times, and we all knew him. He was a father," Kendrick said.
According to witnesses, the victim appeared to have gunshot wounds to his upper torso. They also said another man with a cellphone was recording video of the victim lying on the ground, begging for help.
Another motel guest, who did not wish to be identified, said the victim was attacked after someone knocked on his door.
“I know he would not have opened the door for someone he didn’t know. That’s the worst part about all of that," the second unnamed guest said. "I know him. I lived with him.”
Now, those who were friends with Holmes are struggling to understand why he was killed.
“If it was a robbery, why didn’t they just take what they wanted and leave? I mean to be shot five times -- there’s just no sense in that," Kendrick said. "They took away a father, someone's brother, someone’s cousin, from what I understand, who was a really good tenant here and a good friend, as well.”
Police have not confirmed a motive for the deadly shooting. No suspect information was released.
Detectives investigating the murder said they would be interviewing witnesses and looking to see whether there was any surveillance video, though there did not appear to be any security cameras at the scene.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS (8477).
According to the JSO crime map, in the last four weeks within a half-mile radius of the Kings Inn motel, there have been two cases of strong-arm robbery, three cases of battery, a home burglary and one case of home burglary involved an armed suspect.

Next door have a lovely lawn. Really lovely. I didn’t think I was much of a lawn man, but it looks simply sumptuous. Ours does not. We have what’s nominally known as the tennis court - it’s the right size and when we moved in the net was erected. There’s even a line marking machine in the shed. But Wimbledon it is not. It slopes and bumps, and thistles threaten an entire service box in the far corner.
Turns out that next door’s secret is they have a gardener. He turns up once a week and makes it lovely. We spoke to him the week we moved in, and he’s a nice chap and went to school with Islay’s sister. Anyway, we asked him to come and give us some advice and a quote for doing some hardcore pruning work to help us get the trees. His patter is obviously quite good, because he persuaded Islay that he should come and work for a few hours each week up until Christmas to do all the pruning and lopping and everything over an extended period.
So he’s been coming for a couple of weeks now, and the privet/gorse/box hedge separating the upper lawn from the rockery (how posh are we? ”upper lawn”) has now been halved to provide better views, and the vast beech hedge above the tennis court is almost halved too (it’s half halved).
(As an aside - that beech hedge was so tall that it defeated me, my father and a ladder in our attempts to prune the top earlier this year, and ever since it’s looked like some sort of big-haired Morrissey wannabe with short back and sides and a big quiff shooting from the top. A rockabilly hedge.)
But Ian’s a groundsman at a local cricket club (or golf, can’t remember) and it’s obvious that lawns are his first love. He’s decided to tackle the tennis court too, and is mowing it every week. He reckons it’s recoverable. Perhaps the Chishill Open will take place next summer after all. | <urn:uuid:0662de32-dc45-4df0-8fb5-2d08fb390000> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.worldofmore.com/2011/09/ | 2018-11-19T22:01:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746112.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119212731-20181119233834-00027.warc.gz | en | 0.968381 | 478 | [

A/P Aging Report
I am trying to get a report that will give me the aging of vendor open items in buckets, over 30, 60, 90, and 120 days. I think report S_ALR_87012085 will work, but I don't need the master data. How can I get teh same report or something similar, but by vendor account, vendor number and buckets?
Thank You for your help.
You can easily do this through report painter GRR1 or drildown reporting fki6 & fki0.
For detail you can approach to me I had created the same report successfully. | <urn:uuid:84970ce6-228d-46a0-b0a5-3e72c7d3f2d5> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/1069262 | 2018-11-21T06:06:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747215.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121052254-20181121074254-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.949662 | 131 | [

Yes. We recommend buying not only your domain name with your favorite extension (eg. .com), but also additional, alternative domain extensions (eg. .net, .info, etc). The reason is simple. Having more than one domain extension strengthens your online identity, secures your brand name and improves your online presence. Buying more than one domain extension also protects you from your competitors registering your additional extensions and enticing away your customers.
Finding the right domain name is the first step in building a website that people return to time and time again. Buying a good domain will inevitably boost your online presence, and therefore boost your success as a business or blog. Although it may seem like an investment of time as well as finances to build up a good domain, it's worth the effort. Content management systems (CMS) such as WordPress offer a good platform to build up a blog – 1&1 offers a WordPress CMS package, which includes a free domain for the first few months to get you started.
Looking to purchase web hosting too when you buy domain names? We'll be more than happy to help you with that as well. Your website will be hosted on our high performance SwiftServer platform. Best of all, we offer completely scalable hosting solutions that can support your site as it grows. There's no need to switch hosting providers because we'll have a solution that fits your needs. Choose from Shared, Reseller, VPS and Dedicated Server solutions.
Domain names can be used in a number of ways. Direct visitors to your website’s home page or use complementary domains to send them to specific areas of your website ( e.g. yourcompany.jobs for a careers page). Or, forward a custom domain to an existing social media account, like your Twitter profile or Periscope channel. With a domain name you can even set up custom email addresses like [email protected], which can be used to conduct business or communicate with your followers.

In 2001, after studying, teaching and creating dance for 20-odd years I was ready to find a new direction for my exploration of movement. I was suffering from chronic injuries, dissatisfaction with traditional technique classes, and I wanted to expand my understanding of how the body organized for movement. I was interested in how the brain and the nervous system coordinated the muscles to operate in a systematic and efficient manner. I was intrigued by how different people coordinate in ways that organize the body for more or less efficient movement. I began to explore numerous somatic modalities, including The Alexander Technique, Body Mind Centering and Laban Movement Analysis. But, one day while I was lying on a mat, doing the articulate movements of The Feldenkrais Method®, I found the technique that I needed to explore. Through its subtle and powerful movements I found relief from discomfort, a dynamic way to expand my movement skills and tangible, practical information on the functional organization of the body.
Developed by Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, the method, unlike traditional movement techniques, doesn’t teach specific movements to learn and master. Instead, it offers dancers a method for increasing their awareness and efficiency while moving. Most dancers have habitual tendencies when moving – it may be unconsciously lifting the chin, unnecessarily contracting muscles, or tucking the pelvis. For example, I had a tendency to clench my jaw which led to chronic discomfort in my neck and shoulders. Through The Feldenkrais Method®’s approach I explored the different movements of the jaw, head and neck and I found ways to re-pattern my movement. As a result, I no longer get neck and shoulder pain and have more freedom in my upper torso. Developing increased awareness led me to understand how I was organizing movement and then allow new movement patterns to emerge. As Dr. Feldenkrais stated, “You can’t do what you want to do until you know what you are doing.”
Increasing awareness is also a key to improving and expanding a dancer’s technical facility. As the dancer becomes more aware of how she is organizing her body she is able to accomplish technical feats with more ease and control. For example, a dancer may wish to increase her proficiency in turning – to turn more times, or more consistently, but she always shortens her left side as she lifts her right leg into passé. This unevenness in the torso throws her off balance and she is stuck only doing one or two turns through brute force. Her teacher can tell her over and over again to lengthen her left side, but if she can’t feel it, it won’t change. If the dancer had more precise awareness of herself, she would be conscious of her imbalance and easily lengthen the left side. By working with The Feldenkrais Method®, dancers develop more awareness so that they can approach and practice movement with more clarity.
By practicing The Feldenkrais Method® dancers will also find that they suffer from less frequent and less severe injuries. Much of the pain that dancers live with comes from ineffective technical habits repeated over and over for many years. Dancers who are suffering from these ongoing discomforts often assume that “that’s just the way it is”. But, once these habits are recognized, more efficient patters become available for the dancer, and their discomfort easily fades away.
To study The Feldenkrais Method® the dancer has two choices; to study one-on-one with a practitioner or, to study in a group class setting. Which way the dancer approaches the method depends on his personality, needs and opportunities. Ideally, to get the best results, students should study in both the individual and group settings.
Dr. Feldenkrais first developed one-on-one sessions, Functional Integration®, in which a practitioner meets privately with a student to design lessons that address the individual’s goals. The Feldenkrais® practitioner will work with the student, who is often lying on a low padded table, by gently touching and guiding him through movement. The practitioner will help the student increase his range of motion, release unnecessary tension, as well as integrating the different parts of the body into an efficient whole. Through this process The Feldenkrais Method® reorganizes the body so that unnecessary movements disappear. The practitioner will work with the student lying on his back, as well as on his side, in sitting and in standing. Changing the student’s position assists the student in finding clarity in his organization. Functional Integration® is ideal for those individuals who have specific issues or discomfort that they would like to examine.
Out of his work with individuals, Dr. Feldenkrais created Awareness Through Movement® lessons that are taught in group sessions. These classes are lead by a teacher who verbally guides students through a sequence of gentle movements that are unique and easy to learn. By doing unusual movement patterns in class students can discover their unique movement habits and simultaneously find more efficient ways of moving. Dr. Feldenkrais designed over 1,000 lessons to address every joint, muscle and function of the body. The 30-60 minute lessons take place in an open room with carpet or on soft mats. Often the classes are taught in a series that address specific topics, such as posture or walking, areas of the body, such as the spine or hip joints, or populations, such as dancers or seniors.
The Feldenkrais Method offers dancers the opportunity to fine-tune their bodies, heighten consciousness and awareness by eliminating unnecessary habitual patterns before they become major problems. The method allows dancers to avoid common repetitive types of injuries, recover from traumatic injuries, expand their technical proficiency, and find greater ease in their movement. The method has been invaluable to me as a dancer and my body feels better now, at 38, than it did 10 years ago. While it doesn’t replace taking dance class or working out, it does make all of these activities easier, more beneficial and more enjoyable.
Daniel Burkholder is the Director of The PlayGround, Co-Director of Improv Arts and is a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner(cm).

I just sent them a tip. I think it's noteworthy. A lawyer in Connecticut who has a long record of sexual misconduct with his women clients has been barred from representing women for the rest of his career. I - and quite a few others - think he should have been flat out disbarred.
In the ordinary case a record of serial rule violations, especially serious rule violations, would get you disbarred. Not only does he have a long record of this kind of violation, but he's been disciplined before and he violated a court order in connection with the misconduct. Not only does he have no respect for women, he has no respect for the rules or the courts. It is black and white, you do not involve yourself sexually with clients, even if they consent - and this guy was not involving himself consensually, he was harassing and coercing vulnerable women.
Those of you who are lawyers and law students know how easy it is to be disciplined for behavior which is well-intended, but still violates the letter of the Rules of Professional Conduct. To give an example, if I don't withdraw my fees out of the escrow account as soon as they are earned, I have violated the rule against commingling my money with client funds, and I can be disciplined - and lawyers have been disciplined (though rarely disbarred) for such carelessness. (Taking money which isn't yours from escrow will get you either disbarred or a long suspension - not four months like this guy got).
We're constantly having to watch our step because good intentions are not enough. The rules are labyrinthine, the process painful, and the penalties often severe. But for reasons that I can only conclude add up to "well, he just got a little handsy, we've all been there, let's just make sure he can't do it anymore but not end his career, eh, boys?" this time the disciplinary powers have chosen to exercise extreme restraint. That's unusual. I don't think the restraint is justified. The conduct engaged in included physical contact in at least one case that I could find. In another case, there was evidence that there was unwanted physical contact, but the disciplinary committee (not unanimously) found it was insufficient to find that he had broken that rule, though he had violated the court order in place to refrain from representing women in domestic and domestic violence cases, and to refrain from being alone with woman clients.
I can't get my hands on the actual new decision, but I'd be surprised if there were not allegations of physical contact here as well. It appears this was a compromise result negotiated between the attorney and the disciplinary board, but it's one I think was inappropriate. They had him dead to rights. He was a serial offender who has repeatedly committed a very serious offense. It's not as if he was a credit to the bar. What was the point of compromising? The message this sends is all wrong. Yet again, the establishment says to the world: offenses against women by men will be tolerated. We will protect men from the consequences of their actions.

Porsche is set to debut the new 911 Turbo and Turbo S at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, early next year. Now that these are not the only turbocharged cars in the Porsche 911 lineup (Carreras have ditched the naturally aspirated set up for a pair of turbos as well), the tweaks to the top-of-the-line models make them even more powerful, with performance creeping into the supercar territory.
In terms of looks, it is just another day in the office. There isn’t much difference in the looks and only things worth mentioning are the tweaks to the fascia, new engine cover and the three dimensional tail lamps. Inside, there is a new infotainment system with the Porsche app that allows the owners to remotely monitor the car’s status.
The main point of discussion is the engines. The 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six engine receives a 20bhp boost over the previous versions, effectively taking the power output in the Turbo and Turbo S to 540bhp and 580bhp respectively. There is no manual transmission; the dual-clutch PDK is standard equipment on the 2017 model year cars.
With all these changes, the 911 Turbo is now capable of reaching 100kmph from naught in 2.9 seconds, with a top speed of 318kmph. On the stopwatch, the Turbo S is only a tenth of a second quicker, but the top speed is now 330kmph. The Sport Chrono Package and Porsche Active Suspension Management are standard on both the cars; in addition the Turbo S gets the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control system and carbon-ceramic brakes.
Both the 911 Turbo and Turbo S will also be available with the soft top, right from the time of the launch. Porsche is already accepting orders in Europe and North America for prices starting at 1,26,925 Pounds (Rs 1.27 crore) and 1,45,773 Pounds (Rs 1.46 crore) for the Turbo and Turbo S respectively. The deliveries will commence by the end of January after the global debut. Porsche will eventually offer the new versions in India as well, obviously on order and as CBUs. | <urn:uuid:0a1c1039-4170-4fba-89c4-6f383dacdc88> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.carwale.com/news/new-porsche-911-turbo-and-turbo-s-to-debut-in-detroit/ | 2018-11-16T05:56:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742978.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116045735-20181116071735-00521.warc.gz | en | 0.927258 | 458 | [

In most cases, a writer gets ideas for the essay story out of nowhere. However, even the highest inspiration at its performance peak will simply not work without a narrative essay outline. Every student should write a story outline. A narrative essay outline has basic rules tutorial. In order to create an effective narrative essay the writer should adhere to them.
The outline of the narrative essay has a thesis statement with the clear conflict and up front.
“I studied Spanish hard and now I’m fluent at speaking Spanish”.
Professional essay writer should start working on the essay with a topic sentence. For example, “My inability to speak Spanish fluently was a major burden for me in the class”. As there are many ways for the writer to begin the narrative story writing, the outline is written ensuring the chronological set of events.
Essay Outline Details
An essay outline can also be called the narrative arc. It should begin with the exposition, describing the time and place in the essay introduction. Also, it should introduce the main essay or story characters ‘Setting: Stockton, Calif. St.Endrew High School, early September 2012. Characters: John Olafson, protagonist, recently arrived from Bakersfield, Calif. Character’s main features: tall, red hair, blue eyes.” Keep in mind, that the essay outline is primarily just notes for the author, the outline should not flow as the essay itself.
- After the essay characters and setting exposition is clearly stated, the writer should fill in the unknown areas of the protagonist life with the conflict, difficult situation, antagonists and actions. “The main conflict described in the essay is John’s inability to speak Spanish though he knows all the grammar rules and his vocabulary is rich”.
- The outline may say. “In addition, he gets constant heckling from a class bully, Ben Waldo.”
- The outline has a goal to show the conflict itself, but the main antagonist who participate in it too.
- The rising action should give details to the complications that appear from the conflict. “John has a dream to invite his Spanish-speaking friend Jane out, but he cannot do this as he can get no word out.” “Jane goes on a date with Ben.”
Essay Conclusion Outline
- The End of the essay is extremely important. The climax should be a turning point. It doesn’t matter how much writing you use to describe it. When the conflict is resolved, the writer may proceed to the outline finishing. “Jane realizes that John is special and sees him in a new way.”
- The narrative essay may also have an unhappy ending. “Jane confesses to John that she is going to marry Ben.”
- It doesn’t matter what ending will you choose, the pattern exposition-rising action- climax-resolving should be used in all conditions. This is the best pattern for all narrative stories.

Narrative Essay Example
Before the summer of 2011, I had always been afraid of heights. For most of my life, even the idea of climbing a mountain would give me butterflies in my stomach. That was the summer I turned 16 and achieved something that profoundly influenced my life. On my birthday that year, my mother and I successfully climbed to the summit of Mt. Ranier in Washington state, and it remains a peak memory in my life. Our ascent to the peak was filled not only with dramatic views but with many obstacles both physical and emotional. The experience was a tremendous test of our physical ability and our skill in committing to a goal. Our grueling months of preparation eventually paid off, and I"ll never forget the rush of feelings I had when we reached the top. It was so overwhelming, I almost forgot about my fear of heights for a moment. However, there were many times during the process when I was certain we'd never make it.
When my mother and I first made the decision to train to climb Mt. Ranier, my knees actually shook with anxiety. First of all, we had read that only half of the climbers who attempt to summit the 14,500 foot high peak actually make it. Most turn back due to weather, exhaustion and even injury. Further, I was so scared of heights I couldn't even look over the side of a bridge. The day we made the decision, I was only 15, and we had a year to train for our trek. I'll never forget the expression of pride on my mother's face when I said, "yes, I'll do it." She looked at me and said, "we will just commit to doing our best and supporting one another. The process is what's most important." At the time, I didn't truly understand what she meant by that. The daunting year of training ahead would turn out to be filled with challenges and pitfalls I couldn't possibly have imagined.
Surprisingly, much of the preparation for climbing a mountain takes place indoors. We never expected this part of our journey! Together, my mother and I attended training sessions at a local climbing gym which included everything from running to lifting weights. Because of my fear of heights, I had to learn to climb up a wall to ten, twenty and even fifty feet above the ground. I also had to learn to trust in the ropes as I rappelled back down the wall. So much of climbing involves teamwork and developing trust. Many of our drills included myself and my mother learning how to spot each other and encourage each other. Our extensive reading on the history of mountaineering also took place indoors and we often stayed up late at night reading about the nuances of this exhilarating sport. Spending so much time indoors to prepare made us crave the "Great Outdoors" even more and we couldn't wait for warmer weather to arrive so we could do our first training climbs on the actual mountain.
It was finally time for our first outdoor climbing practice and the butterflies in my stomach had certainly multiplied. "Don't let the butterflies get the best of you," my mother advised me as we set out on a ten mile training trek. "Try to enjoy the feeling and turn the anxiety into anticipation." She was always full of kind words, but could I apply her wisdom in time for the day of our final climb? As it turned out, our practice excursion proved trepidating. Though it was May, the skies were grey and menacing on the southernmost face of the mountain. Near the halfway point, I lost my footing and fell backwards down the trail, slightly twisting my ankle and earning a tough bruise on my right forearm. Our guide was worried I may have sprained my ankle, and immediately applied a wrap and some ice. Though I was sore, I kept going for another mile or so, but I had to give up before we reached our intended target. The guide stayed with me while the rest of the crew continued to the destination. I felt deflated and discouraged that I couldn't even reach the top of our practice hike. How would I mange on the actual hike, given this setback?
Although I didn't succeed on our first practice hike and suffered minor injuries, I was able to recover in time for our planned summit climb. Thankfully, all the hours of practicing in the gym and reading about mountaineers who overcame pain to succeed had paid off. I had, over time, gained the physical and emotional strength to recover quickly and come through adversity even stronger. The breathtaking views along our climb no longer distracted me with fear but compelled me to follow through with my goal. I had not overcome my fear of heights, but I had made peace with it to the point where I could remain inspired by my own achievements. There is something transcendental about facing one's fears, an experience that's even more beautiful when supported by loved ones. My mom and I were among the last in our group to reach the flag at the summit. Finally standing there was proof that we had completed a process of preparing and persevering. We were above the clouds, but our feet were firmly on the ground, ready to take on any future challenge life might present. | <urn:uuid:05cf0d34-35e5-4219-95ff-c9b8e78ab91f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://hhjvgmt.kvalitne.cz/202-outline-for-a-narrative-essay.php | 2018-11-17T13:33:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743521.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117123417-20181117145417-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.972883 | 2,157 | [

Above: it worked in Fiji
Dear Labour Party caucus members,
This is a coup. Please move away from your desks and tables with your hands in the air. No sudden movements please.
I’m sorry it’s had to come to this, but you can no longer be trusted to get things right. Many of you are good people, talented people. I even like quite a few of you. But as a group you have collectively failed.
So I’m taking over.
You all have a choice to make. Accept that I am now your leader or resign. Please be quick with your decision. I will give you five seconds. Five… four … three … two … one…
Have you decided yet? Good. A very wise choice.
I have prepared letters of resignation for each of you to sign. Just write your name at the bottom and then sign. No, don’t worry about writing the date. I’m not going to insist on your resignations just yet, but it sure will be handy to know I can get rid of you at any time.
Wait, what’s this? Norman Kirk? Who wrote that? Trevor, was that you? This is not a joke. Do it properly!
Right, now let’s proceed to business. I would like each of you to find a computer or tablet. Make sure you’re online. Now go to the Daily Blog website and read as many of Martyn Bradbury’s blogposts as you can. Many of you will know that Bradbury has strong opinions on what Labour should have done and where it went wrong during the election campaign, and I urge you to make a list of the changes he would like to see from the party.
Having made your list, you should now complete a second list. Your second list will be a list of action points for Labour’s caucus. These are the things you as caucus members will do to rebuild the fortunes of the party.
Compile your second list by referring to the first. Remember, your first list will be a summary of Martyn Bradbury’s ideas for fixing Labour’s problems. I have not read Bradbury’s latest musings on the subject, but I have no doubt that his ideas will all be terrible ones. His ability to get things dreadfully wrong will enable you to work out exactly what should be done. Just write the exact opposite of what Bradbury suggests, and you will have your list.
The next step will be for me to write today’s date on a number of your resignation letters. Yes, I did just tell you all that I wasn’t going to insist on your resignations just yet, but I lied. Bad luck. This is a coup. Did you expect me to play nice?
There’s no point in complaining. The public have tired of us, and we need to show the voters of New Zealand that we can change. Tough decisions need to be made. So I’m afraid a handful of you need to go.
Some of you have been here a long time and have given loyal service to the party, but the party is bigger and more important than any individual. We need to refresh and renew, and show the voters of the country that we are listening. People have rejected the old Labour, and we must now present a new face to the public. That means exits for some of you.
I will now call out the names of those caucus members who will be leaving us. If I call your name out you will move towards the door, taking whatever belongings you are able to carry with you. There will be no time for farewells. Do not look back, and say nothing. Obey if you wish to live.
That’s all for the time being. Now get cracking and make those lists, and I’ll be back soon to see how you got on. In the meantime let’s all keep our mouths shut. Loose lips sink ships, walls have ears, and anyone who blabs to the media will be very sorry indeed.
I’ll be back shortly, but I have a number of matters to attend to. My plan is to remain in charge until such time as a new leader is appointed. Given your inability to unite behind a single candidate, I think it wise that I select the next leader myself. I have in mind a candidate who commands the respect of most New Zealanders, is competent and able, and knows just what the public want.
Unfortunately, I’m not confident that John Key will agree to take the job. | <urn:uuid:4e6fd9f3-cec6-4188-a22f-eb32e590dc3f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://imperatorfish.com/2014/09/25/this-is-a-coup/ | 2018-11-17T12:59:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743521.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117123417-20181117145417-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.966351 | 965 | [

My favorite quotes:
“This is the best reason to learn history: not in order to predict the future, but to free yourself of the past and imagine alternative destinies. Of course this is not total freedom – we cannot avoid being shaped by the past. But some freedom is better than none.”
“This is the paradox of historical knowledge. Knowledge that does not change behavior is useless. But knowledge that changes behavior quickly loses its relevance. The more data we have and the better we understand history, the faster history alters its course, and the faster our knowledge becomes outdated.”
“And what is ‘sensitivity’? It means two things. Firstly, paying attention to my sensations, emotions and thoughts. Secondly, allowing these sensations, emotions and thoughts to influence me.”
Book rate: 10/10
This book is the second book in this series. The first book Sapiens (Vintage Books) is a fascinating book about the history of our kind (yes, there were other kind of human we brought to extinction during our evolution) and the effect we had on our planet. For those of you who didn’t read it, it is highly recommended.
In his second book, Homo deus, Yuval Noah Harari is taking us into a journey observing many realistic possible future for our specie. It cover many philosophical aspect of our lives and challenge a lot of fundamental thought leading our current civilization. not like many other book, the amount of open questions presented in the end, allows the reader to enjoy the metaphysical concept raised long after you finish to read it.
I find the way this book is written in an extremely pleasant manner, the sense of humor and the way the topics are presented allowed me to arrive to deep toughs and fascinating conclusion while laughing and enjoying reading. The book present a large amount of general knowledge touching many relevant topics, which open to me a door to many interesting conversation and additional readings.
If you are interested in topics as practical evolution of technology, development of Artificial intelligence, Sociology, psychology and religion, this book is highly recommended for you.
If you search to purchase the book:
Homo Deus (the most affordable version of book and E-book I managed to find)

Check: Bride-to-be accidentally kills herself trying to 'go half-way to heaven' to say final goodbye to best friend who died 2weeks earlier
A bride-to-be struggling to cope with the death of her best friend accidentally killed herself after believing she could go "half-way to heaven" in a bid to say a final goodbye. Jazmine Howarth, 25, (left) claimed she could "control" death and meet up with tragic mum-of-one Dionne Corbett (right) - who died just two weeks' earlier before returning "to the land of the living".
A police inquest heard that Dionnes death had left her friend devastated with the women having been best friends since they were toddlers.
Jazmine and Dionnehad even talked about getting pregnant at the same time so they could go through it all together.
Police found out that Jazmine wrote a string of letters saying she wanted to see Dionne for one last time before coming back so she could carry on with her life.
Coroner Lisa Hashmi ruled death by misadventure, saying she did not believe Jazmine had meant to kill herself.
She said: I have no doubt that the loss of her close and very dear friend in very tragic circumstances would have had a profound effect. She attended the chapel of rest to say her goodbyes. I believe she would have found that cathartic.
They had been of course very close, described as sisterly. Both had had conversations about what the other would do if one lost another, it may have underpinned her actions, but I could not say for sure what bearing, if any, it had.
According to the coroner the young woman had a superstitious mind and believed she could return.
She said: What I cant ignore are the letters, whilst it may be that some of them were drafted in the days before her death, described as a superstitious belief in Jazmines mind, a number of letters were found that suggested that Jazmine wanted to speak to Dionne for one last time.
That she believed she could meet Dionne and return to the land of living. What I believe was a failure to appreciate how quick one could die. She had a mistaken belief that she could just pass beyond and return. Quite clearly that was a mistake on her part. Its probably the naivety of youth that resulted in her sad, tragic and untimely death.
Jazmine's family said they initially thought she was coming to speak at Dionne's funeral, not knowing she was planning to take her own life too.
Her aunt said: We actually thought that she was much more settled than she had been in a long time. Obviously when her friend Dionne died she was absolutely devastated and the day before Jazmine took her own life she went to say goodbye to Dionne in the chapel with her mum. But there was no indication to her mum that she was thinking of joining her.
The letter to her mum indicated that what ever she intended to do she thought she could control it. She was very much planning for the funeral, she was looking at reading, planning for that. I know nobody ever expects it but we werent it wasnt even on our radar.
Jazmines fiance Brendan Cawley said: They classed each other as sisters, one wouldnt do without the other. She broke down crying saying, ‘Yeah but I promised I would go and get her.
She said that she wanted to go and see her, go halfway to make sure she was alright. Two days before she died I woke up in the middle of the night and looked at Jazmine, she was writing on a piece of paper, I said, ‘What are you doing?. She said, ‘Nothing, its stupid. I thought in my head that it must be something to do with Dionne.
Mr Cawley said they both argued before she ran off and locked the door behind her.
He said: I think she kind of expected me to save her.

Hundreds of anti-Gaddafi campaigners took to the streets to protest outside the BBC on Manchester’s Oxford Road.
Organisers estimated that more than 300 people took part and similar protests are planned throughout the week.
The crowds, largely from Greater Manchester’s Libyan communities, chanted slogans against Libyan ruler Colonel Gadaffi and waved banners. Manchester students and protesters with relatives in Libya carried placards stating ‘Revolution till the end’.
One protester, who asked not to be named, said: "My family is in Libya.
"My neighbour was killed last night.
"Over three hundred were murdered in Bengazi and I have reports that in Tobruk and Brega, at the Ras Lanuf refinery, people are planning to stop the oil.
"We will be here every day in Manchester until it is finished."
A two-hour protest is planned between 5pm and 7pm tonight. | <urn:uuid:af7881fd-d7cf-434b-ba7b-b135fd370d3d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/libya-campaigners-march-in-manchester-854543 | 2018-11-21T11:07:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113942-00044.warc.gz | en | 0.971201 | 191 | [

To quote the great Austin Powers, when provided floss to escape being lowered into a tank of ill-tempered sea bass: “OK, I get it. I have bad teeth.” Sure, it’s easy to stereotype the British for shunning American advances in oral hygiene. But it’s time to set our dental differences aside and celebrate the most ghastly mouth on Earth, which swims in the rivers of both nations, uniting us in toothy horrors.
Say hello to the lamprey, an ancient eel-like critter that’s the bane of many a river system, latching onto fish like trout and draining their blood or scraping away their flesh right down to the bone. In the Great Lakes of North America they’re an invasive menace, wreaking havoc on fisheries that tend to rely on their catches not having giant hickeys.
But all the while, let's give respect where respect is due. This is an animal that has gone 360 million years almost totally unchanged, a brilliant parasite that’s evolved a remarkably efficient—and disturbing—means of survival.
The Scrapes of Wrath
There are three kinds of lamprey: the flesh-eaters, the blood-suckers, and the ones that quite frankly don’t do much at all. These last individuals spend anywhere from 3 to 7 years in a larval stage, and live only 6 months once they metamorphose into adults. During this time they don’t need to feed, only existing to reproduce and die (there are worse fates, I suppose).
The other two populations, though, are where things get interesting. The flesh-eaters and blood-suckers may not look like they have all that different mouths, but to a trained professional like lamprey taxonomist Claude Renaud of the Canadian Museum of Nature, the dental specializations of the two groups are quite clear.
In the center of all those impressive hooked teeth, lampreys have a structure analogous to a tongue, epically called a piston, which bears three sharp chompers, two that move side to side and another that moves up and down. This piston, according to Renaud, “has kind of a convex structure with a very strong middle tooth that’s very large, and that's the one that permits the lamprey that feeds on flesh to remove—gouging out—a piece of flesh.”
This middle tooth of the flesh-eaters is shaped like a U, in contrast to that of the blood-suckers, which looks like a W. The latter group has “finer teeth, all of them about the same size,” said Renaud. “So this W actually acts as a rasping organ instead of a gouging organ, so that permits it to kind of scrape all the tissue to get to the blood vessels.”
And another key difference between the two groups lies within the critters’ bodies. The blood-suckers have to keep that blood flowing, so they have glands in their throat that secrete an anticoagulant into the oral disk, as their mouth is not-so-seductively known. The flesh-eaters have these as well, but they’re far smaller—they're after meat, not blood.
No matter its manner of feeding, the lamprey has to of course first find its prey, using cells along its body that help it sense vibrations in water. Once it identifies and closes in on the prey, it switches to visual cues to actually pinpoint a specific spot on the unfortunate host.
“If they're flesh-feeders they will preferentially go for the [top] of the fish, because that's where the most flesh is,” said Renaud. “Whereas if they're a blood-feeder they'll go for the underside of the fish, because that's where they'll get the greatest blood supply.”
And once they hit their target, there’s not much that can dislodge them, probably not even tickling them, though I don't think that's really been tested. Not only do those multitudinous hooked teeth sink deep into the flesh (Renaud will find fish with scars that are so defined that he can identify the offending species of lamprey based on the imprint’s dentition), but the lamprey also uses suction to stick to its host.
Running along the edge of the oral disk are two rings of structures. “One of them is called oral fimbriae, these are little structures that look a little bit like leaves, little flaps of tissue,” said Renaud. “And those are the ones that can adhere closely to the skin and make a really good seal.” (A nice little bit of convergent evolution here, that is, two unrelated species arriving at the same adaptation independently: The clingfish has modified fins on its belly that utilize similar structures to create a suction so strong that it can support 300 times its own weight.)
The other ring around the lamprey’s oral disk is made of conical structures known as papillae, which the creature uses to sense where best to attach to the fish. These are so sensitive that the vampiric varieties of lamprey can even use them to feel out underlying blood vessels.
Once the lamprey is firmly attached, it’ll stay stuck for anywhere from a few hours to a full day, rasping or gouging, then resting for a bit, then back to rasping or gouging. The blood-suckers will typically leave their prey alive after the whole ordeal, “because it’s not advantageous for a parasite, if you wish, to kill its host, because then it won't have the ability to feed on that one again,” said Renaud. “And the host can recover, replenish its blood supply, and remain there for another meal.” Still, some die of resulting infections.
The flesh-eaters, though, laugh in the face of such mercy. They’re typically targeting smaller schooling fish like herring, boring and boring until “they'll actually skeletonize the fish that they're feeding on,” according to Renaud. The fish either dies from massive blood loss or infection or, you know, just having a big hole in its body.
Pissing Off America and Canada, and Other Lamprey Pursuits
Luckily for its hosts, the lamprey spends less than half of its life as a menacing adult, maybe 3 out of its 7 years. The rest of the time is spent in a rather laid-back larval stage on river bottoms, dug into the sand and detritus with their heads poking out. In this way the blind young simply wait for their food to come to them, microorganisms like plankton and algae, gathering it all in their squishy horseshoe-shaped mouths (which of course metamorphose into the fearsome maws of adulthood). The food enters a sort of filtering system of branching structures, where it gets entangled in a mucus strand that then enters the gut.
Strangely enough, it’s actually these fairly helpless larval lampreys that lead the adults to optimal spawning grounds. “The larvae can produce a pheromone that will disperse into the water system,” said Renaud. “And the adults, when they want to go to spawn, will pick up that through their nose, and are able to go and spawn where it’s great larval habitat. So it's like the babies tell the prospective parents, 'This is a great place to spawn, because we're thriving.'”
This is quite different from salmon, which when spawning famously return to the exact spot they were born, as if terribly homesick. But that spot may not necessarily be as ideal that year as when they themselves called it home. Alternatively, the lampreys, under the direction of their larval comrades, can guarantee more ideal conditions for the development of their young.
This success is nice and all—unless you’re a wildlife official around the Great Lakes. Here the U.S. and Canada are battling the invasive blood-sucking sea lamprey, which can split its time between saltwater and freshwater. Accidentally introduced here in the early 20th century, this species has proved to be an absolute fiend. Before the lampreys showed up, the Great Lakes trout fishery produced 15 million pounds a year. In the early ‘60s, after the lampreys were well established in the area, one annual catch totaled a mere 300,000 pounds. So while not as destructive as the flesh-eating variety, these blood-suckers inflict more than their fair share of lethally infectious wounds.
And boy have officials struggled to keep the sea lamprey at bay. Beginning in the late '50s, at first they tried trapping them, and then containing them with electrical barriers. Nowadays, though, scientists are looking into more clever measures.
One idea is to use the lamprey larva’s come-spawn-over-here pheromone against the species, dumping it in strategic spots in a river system, then scooping up the hoodwinked adults. Even more cunningly, scientists have been sterilizing captured males and releasing them back into the wild. That may seem silly, what with it being easier to just kill them, but in their competition to mate, these males will necessarily muscle out some of the fertile lampreys, reducing the spawning success rate. Still another campaign has used lampricides that lure larvae out of their burrows and eventually kill them.
With these efforts, the U.S. and Canada have been able to cut sea lamprey populations in some parts of the Great Lakes by 95 percent. But, Renaud notes, that remaining 5 percent will rapidly replenish the population if left unchecked. And with a dizzying network of streams and rivers in the area, some spots can’t be treated more than once every few years. “So we can never eradicate sea lamprey, but we can control it,” Renaud said. “That's why it’s called sea lamprey control instead of sea lamprey eradication.”
There's also the option of eating the things, which are said to taste a bit like squid. Americans don't seem to be convinced that's a good idea, though, unlike England's Henry I, who apparently croaked from eating too many lampreys in one sitting. Maybe Brits and Americans really are that different after all.
Oh well. I tried at least. | <urn:uuid:9e2f1a25-8263-4d77-9e5a-6d5226d397d7> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.wired.com/2014/07/absurd-creature-of-the-week-lamprey/ | 2018-11-21T10:42:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113942-00044.warc.gz | en | 0.957903 | 2,237 | [

The change to accept EXECUTE FUNCTION as well as EXECUTE PROCEDURE in CREATE TRIGGER (added by 0a63f99) forgot to tell psql's tab completion system about this. In passing, add tab completion of EXECUTE FUNCTION/PROCEDURE after a complete WHEN ( … ) clause.
This change is version-aware, with FUNCTION being selected automatically instead of PROCEDURE depending on the backend version, PROCEDURE being an historical grammar kept for compatibility and considered as deprecated in v11.

Come and hear one of the best amateur choirs in the country in the beautiful surroundings of Checkendon church. Featuring music by Victoria, Tallis, Morales, Howells, Rachmaninov, Eric Whitacre and many others, plus clever arrangements of traditional folk tunes, jazz numbers and even David Bowie! This rich and varied programme is guaranteed to delight, move and captivate an audience.
One of the most remarkable qualities about the choir is that it performs concerts ‘off-copy’ – every choir member sings their part entirely from memory. In addition, the choir does not sing in the traditional arrangement of bass, tenor, alto and soprano, but in mixed formation. This enables the singers to fully engage with the other voice parts, creating a great aural blend. Below are some of the comments the choir has received:
Great, warm sound, very precise and well focused. ~ Mary King, Choir Of The Year Finals
Full of vitality – I loved your richness and verve of performance. ~ Stuart Barr, COTY Finals
Powerful and great ensemble sound with beautiful sustained notes. ~ Eugene Skeefe, COTY Finals
Their singing is beautiful and faultless…the singers have an aura of professionalism about them. ~ Henley Standard
In performance the first thing you notice is the focused radiance of sound that comes from a well-trained group of voices who are clearly cruising and not having to push the tone at all. Then when they really turn up the gas, the fact that they sing off-copy entirely means that they can deliver that quality sound into an arresting communication of the inner meaning of the music. It is a delight to listen to – bravo! ~ Bob Porter, Brandenburg Artistic Director

Ten Ways to Study the BibleMichael Harrell
I’m busy. I teach catechetics, I shop talk theology, I listen to Christian podcasts…but man, if I ever crack open my Bible without needing to, I can’t remember the last time I did so. That’s a bad thing. Thankfully, there are so many easy ways to study the Bible. And I think I’m gonna take up one of these.
1. 365 Days of Truth
The best way to study the Bible is to make it a part of your daily life. Simply setting aside ten or fifteen minutes every day to learn more about God through His Word will go a long way toward helping you stand for truth. There are lots of great resources available to break the Bible down into 365 smaller sections; that’s one for every day of the year! Pick up a one-year Bible or check out your church’s lectionary or a one-year reading plan or devotional. It’s not that hard. | <urn:uuid:2c2d3718-144f-4734-9a7a-c44e17de1237> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://faithhub.net/ways-to-study-the-bible/ | 2018-11-13T22:38:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.898621 | 217 | [

Larry Holmes has told Anthony Joshua that regular sex could be the key to following in his footsteps as a heavy weight icon.
Holmes, 67, is widely considered as a legend of the division having won world heavyweight titles during a memorable career which began in 1973 and ended in 2002.
He beat the likes of Ken Norton and Earnie Shavers while also becoming the only man in history to stop Mohammed Ali on an infamous night in Las Vegas in 1980.
“If I had to give him one piece of advice, it would be this get, laid a week before each fight,” Holmes said. “You need to relax. It restores your energy and everything. You know they say you re not allowed to do that when you ‘re fighting.
“I listened to that for a while but then found out it was all a lie and you are missing the good stuff man. He is a heavyweight, he’s got to get that sh**t out of him. But he doesnt want to do it everyday or nothing because that might drain him.” | <urn:uuid:8da744c4-e823-41b5-886a-b5b15a08382f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://susanorji.blog/2017/10/25/anthony-joshua-needs-regular-sex-to-become-a-heavyweight-legend-larry-holmes/ | 2018-11-13T22:02:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.985154 | 222 | [

On August 18, 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a press release from Geneva, Switzerland titled “Vaccine hesitancy: A growing challenge for immunization programmes.”1 The focus of the release was to highlight views expressed by public health officials in a special edition of the journal Vaccine, which was “guest-edited” and published by the WHO.1
Foremost among the views was the continuing concern by health officials over the number of people around the world who remain unvaccinated despite the availability of vaccines. According to the release, approximately 1 out of 5 children globally do not get vaccinated. The WHO attributes the situation to a phenomenon called “vaccine hesitancy,” which the organization describes as a “delay in acceptance or refusal of safe vaccines despite availability of vaccination services.”
The release quotes Philippe Duclos, PhD, head of WHO’s Immunization Policy Unit. “Vaccines can only improve health and prevent deaths if they are used, and immunization programs must be able to achieve and sustain high vaccine uptake rates,” says Dr. Duclos. “Vaccine hesitancy is an increasingly important issue for country immunization programs.”1
The WHO attributes vaccine hesitancy to:
Concerns about vaccine safety can be linked to vaccine hesitancy, but safety concerns are only one of many factors that may drive hesitancy. Vaccine hesitancy can be caused by other factors such as: negative beliefs based on myths, e.g. that vaccination of women leads to infertility; misinformation; mistrust in the health care professional or health care system; the role of influential leaders; costs; geographic barriers and concerns about vaccine safety.1
The WHO views the issue as a “complex” one. It believes that the answer to successfully addressing it is “effective communications,” which the organization considers to be the “key to dispelling fears, addressing concerns and promoting acceptance of vaccination.”
Media sources around the world immediately picked up the WHO press release. The New York Times ran a story titled “WHO Calls ‘Vaccine Hesitancy’ an Increasing Concern Globally.”2 The Tech Times published a piece titled “WHO Raises Concerns Regarding Global Effects Of ‘Vaccine Hesitancy.”3 The Irish Times published “Medical Matters: Addressing Vaccine Hesitancy is Priority for Public Health.”4 Nigeria’s Daily Times went with “WHO Cautions Against Vaccine Hesitancy.”5 New Europe had “WHO: Vaccine Hesitancy and Child Mortality.”6
Nearly all of the stories in the media focused on reporting on what the WHO stated in a press release. There was no independent analysis or commentary, no attempt to question the WHO’s underlying assumptions or conclusions. For example, is the growing tendency of people around the world to hesitate when it comes to vaccines that complex? Is it simply a matter of communicating more effectively with people about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines? Is it all really just a misunderstanding?
Or could it be that people have legitimate concerns about vaccines because what they are being told by doctors and public health officials does not match their own personal experience with vaccines, or it doesn’t square with what they have learned by reading articles in newspapers, magazines and on websites regarding injuries and deaths caused by vaccines?
While it is true that accurate unbiased articles about vaccines and infectious diseases are seldom highlighted on the covers or front pages of major publications, the articles are out there and people read them. Together with personal experiences with vaccine risks and failures, what people learn about vaccination through reading and critical thinking leads to questions and… hesitation.
Questions and hesitation about vaccination is logical when it becomes clear that vaccines can cause death, even when health authorities try to deny it.
In the United Kingdom, for example, there was the news story in 2006, “Secret Report Reveals 18 Child Deaths Following Vaccinations.”7 In India in 2011, there was the story, “128 Kids Died After Vaccine in 2010, Government Can’t Say Why.”8
There was another news report about vaccination and death in the UK in 2010—”40 Deaths Linked to Child Vaccines Over Seven Years”11—and the one in South Africa in 2011, “Babies Die After Vaccinations.”12
In 2014, there were headlines about vaccine-related deaths of Syrian children—”15 Syrian Children Dead Following UN Measles Vaccination Campaign”15—and in 2015 a news report about the rotavirus vaccine-related deaths of two babies in France, “Two Babies Die After Receiving Anti-Gastro Vaccine.”16 It was followed by a similar news report in Mexico, “Mexico Suspends Infant Vaccines After Two Babies Die and 29 Fall Ill.”17
In the weeks after the WHO’s press release came out, there were a number of news stories like this one in India, “Child Dies after DPT Vaccination in Nagole”18 and one in Australia “Infant Dies After Receiving 13 Vaccines in One Day Without Mother’s Informed Consent.”19
Then there was a headline in Vietnam, “1 More Baby Dies After Vaccine Shot, Officials Say She Was Too Sensitive.”20 Too sensitive? Like it was the baby’s fault and the vaccine had nothing to do with it?
In the United States, news reports about vaccine-related deaths are too numerous to list, but here are two during the past year: “Indiana Baby Dies in His Sleep Days After Receiving 6 Vaccine Doses”21 and “California Infant Dies after 8 Vaccines, Family Gets Him Back from Hospital Cremated.”22
In October 2014, the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) published an extensive report on vaccine hesitancy, looking at different approaches to help shape the public’s behavior toward vaccination.24 The report specifically explored marketing strategies employed by other organizations such as the International Food and Beverage Alliance (IFBA), which includes companies like Coca Cola Company, Pepsico and McDonalds. According to the SAGE report, “Key industry messages to the Working Group included the following (points particularly relevant to vaccine hesitancy are in italics):”23
- All that really matters is the power of the story.
- Consumers care about benefits, not supporting facts.
- Brand = product + compelling story.
- Reason leads to conclusions, while emotion leads to action (i.e. change comes from feelings, not facts).
- It is important to win the hearts, minds, and now, voice.
- Due to social media, consumers have a mouth piece and a large portion of media consumption is media generated by other consumers.
- The rise of social media has benefits and risks. You can share information on a massive scale at zero cost, but there is less control.
- Consumers believe more in messages from other consumers than from big institutions.
- It is important to find the intersection of brand topics (what the brand wants to talk about) and audience interests (what existing and desired audiences care about).
- Consumer’s rationale for decisions may not reflect the true motivation (e.g. give fact-based reasons, but emotional reasons may have in fact driven the behavior).
- It is impossible to please all consumers, and some will not like you.
- One big idea needs to drive the entire communications strategy. Only one or two messages can be communicated—the rest must be sacrificed.
- Communication is increasingly about dialogue back and forth in the context of social media.
- A communication brief includes: competitive content landscape, target consumer, brand opportunity, communication task, core insight, core essence, functional benefit, emotional benefit, meaningful product truth, brand personality, obtainable brand proposition, key performance indicators. Effective communication strategies are not simple.23
According to newspaper columnist Lawrence Solomon, “The World Health Organization Working Group recommended that this fact-free, emotion-laden Coca-Cola style marketing strategy be urged on the international “pro-vaccination lobbies.” He added, “Aided by this ‘Keep It Simple, Stupid’ strategy, WHO is hopeful that the marketing wizardry that works for the food and beverage giants will help the pro-vaccination movement overcome the public’s reluctance to vaccinate.“24
However, such a strategy assumes that people, who are “hesitant” about vaccines, either do not have legitimate concerns or never pick up a newspaper and do not research the topic online. It is also based on the assumption that these people are uneducated, not curious and are easily swayed by the kind of superficial commercial marketing that has been employed to successfully sell burgers and soft drinks.

In the client-server architecture of the World Wide Web, the interaction between browsers and websites is handled through the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). This protocol was introduced in 1991 and is an official web standard. Almost all traffic on the web is handled through HTTP.
When search engine spiders like Googlebot crawl a website, they behave like browsers requesting web pages from a site and rely on HTTP for this exchange. This is why it’s important for search engine optimization specialists (SEOs) to understand how the HTTP protocol works and the impact it has on search engines’ crawling and indexing of web pages. In this column, I’ll explain everything you need to know.
But first, let me tell you about the tools you’ll need to perform the necessary tests on your site. Google Chrome DevTools allows you to view a uniform resource locator (URL) full HTTP response, but it can be cumbersome to view. I prefer using the Ayima Page Insights and Ayima Redirect Path Chrome plugins to show me a URL’s full HTTP response.
Using the Ayima Page Insights plugin in Chrome, this is what an HTTP response looks like:
Another tool that does the same job is Live HTTP Headers for Chrome.
HTTP status codes
Let’s talk about HTTP status codes.
When a web page is requested from a website, the website’s server responds with an HTTP status code. This code is an acknowledgment of the client’s request and indicates the type of response the server is sending to the client.
There are hundreds of different HTTP status codes that a web server can respond with and you could encounter in your day-to-day search engine optimization (SEO) work. It will help you to familiarize yourself with most of them so you know how to work with them. Here is a list of the more common HTTP status codes:
- 200 OK.
- 300 Multiple choices.
- 301 Moved permanently.
- 302 Moved temporarily.
- 304 Not modified.
- 307 Temporary redirect.
- 400 Bad request.
- 401 Unauthorized.
- 404 Not found.
- 410 Gone.
- 429 Too many requests.
- 500 Internal server error.
- 501 Not implemented.
- 503 Service unavailable.
- 550 Permission denied.
Seach engine optimization specialists need to know these status codes intimately and understand the purpose that each response code serves. Moreover, SEOs should understand how search engines like Google handle these status codes. Let’s look at some of the more common ones.
Let’s start with the obvious one. A 200 response from a web server means the request was successful, that the web page that was requested exists and the web server will start sending that page and its associated resources (images, CSS & JS files and so on) to the client.
This response code is very simple. Often, additional headers are sent along with the response code that can impact how search engines handle the URL. We’ll look these in the HTTP Headers section below.
301 moved permanently
The 301 HTTP status code is one of the SEO industry’s favorites because it lets browsers — and search engines — know a web page has been replaced by another page and the change is a permanent one. For search engines, this is a signal they need to update their indexes and associate the old URL’s link metrics with the new URL.
The amount of link value from the original URL that is associated with the new URL through a 301-redirect is a matter of speculation, and Google has given contradictory statements about this.
I believe a 301 redirect has the same PageRank damping factor applied as a link — so when page A redirects to page B, it has the same effect as page A linking to page B.
Overall, 301 redirects are a crucial tool in the SEO arsenal and have a wide range of useful applications that can help a website preserve its rankings or even improve them.
302 moved temporarily
The other type of redirect is the 302 HTTP status code, which indicates a page has been temporarily replaced by another URL.
In the short term, this means search engines will keep the original URL in their index, while users are sent to the redirect’s target URL. In the long term, however, Google interprets a 302 redirect as a permanent 301 redirect and will start to handle it accordingly.
Many sites use 302 redirects for automatic geographic redirects, to send users to the correct country/language version of their content. While this may seem fine in theory, it’s generally not recommended to use redirects for this, as it can mean search engines like Google only see one country’s version of the site’s content.
Google crawls primarily from US-based IP addresses, so an automatic 302 redirect for all US traffic means Google would only see a site’s American content. Other country and language versions would be effectively invisible to Google unless you find ways to make exceptions for Googlebot.
304 not modified
The 304 HTTP status code is not used as often as it should. What this code does is inform browsers and search engine crawlers that the resource has not changed since the last visit. This means the resource doesn’t have to be re-sent across the internet, and the client can just rely on the version of the resource that’s been cached.
For large websites, judicious application of 304 status codes can help save a lot of server resources. If you serve 304 resources to Googlebot when a page hasn’t been updated since the last crawl, the page (and all of its associated resources) doesn’t have to be generated or sent across the internet, so you can preserve a lot of central processing unit (CPU) cycles and bandwidth.
307 temporary redirect
The 307 HTTP status code is a bit of a false flag. We see it from time to time on websites that are served over HTTPS and are on the HSTS preload list. According to the Chromium Projects:
HSTS tells a browswer to always use HTTPS. HSTS is supported in Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Edt and Internet Explorer.
Basically, what happens with a 307 is that the browser recognizes a request made to http://website.com should instead be to a https://website.com and will go straight there.
So it’s not really an HTTP response code; the website’s server never sees the original request. The browser implements this redirect itself, as it knows (due to the HSTS Preload list) that the URL in question is served over HTTPS rather than HTTP. Google, PayPal, Twitter, Stripe, DropBox, Facebook and LastPass are a few of the well-known sites on the preloaded HSTS list.
The Ayima Redirect Path plugin will show this accordingly:
404 not found & 410 gone
In the 400-range of HTTP status codes, there are two I want to highlight since they are important for SEO.
The first and most common one is the 404 not found HTTP status code. This indicates that the URL doesn’t exist, and Google Search Console will show these errors in the site’s Crawl Errors report. Most often, 404 responses are the result of a faulty link somewhere on a website that Google discovers and then tries to crawl.
A website will start serving a 404 not found HTTP response on a page after it has been removed. In my opinion, you shouldn’t allow this to happen. A 404 error is indicative of an accidental error, a wrongly entered link somewhere. If a URL used to serve valid content has since been removed, you shouldn’t serve a 404; you should either 301-redirect the URL to a valid active page or serve a 410 gone status code.
The 410 gone HTTP response is a “deliberate 404.” With the 410 response, you are saying that yes, there used to be a page here, but it’s been permanently removed.
Search engines treat 410s differently than 404s. While both status codes are reported in Google Search Console as “not found” errors, a 410 is a clear signal to Google to remove that URL from its index. While Google will interpret a 404 as an accidental error and will keep a URL serving a 404 in its index for a while, a 410 response is seen as an explicit request to remove that URL from Google’s index.
The following is an older video from ex-Googler Matt Cutts explaining how Google handles 404 and 410 status codes, but it’s still a very good one to watch:
429 too many requests
In the course of your SEO career, you will come across many 4XX HTTP status codes, but few will be as infuriating as the 429 response. You will most likely see this HTTP status code when you’re crawling a website with your favorite SEO crawler tool.
The 429 response indicates a client has made too many requests in a given period, and instead of a URL’s proper response, you get the 429 response instead. This is the result of some form of rate-limiting technology that prevents websites from being overloaded by external requests. Often it will also interfere with crawls on a website by SEO tools, and you may need to ask the website’s tech team to make an exception for the IP address(es) you use for crawling the site.
Some rate-limiting technologies also block Googlebot this way, which could have profound repercussions on the speed and efficiency with which Google can crawl a site.
This can be hard to identify, as Google doesn’t report 429 responses in Search Console. If a website uses rate-limiting technology, it’s always worth double-checking that there is an exception in place for valid Googlebot crawls.
500 internal server error and 503 service unavailable
Any type of 5XX HTTP response indicates some sort of server-side problem. They are codes to avoid as much as possible.
They are quite common, especially on large-scale websites. Google reports these server errors in Search Console:
For SEO, the impact of these errors is primarily one of crawl efficiency. Because of the severity of these errors, when a website starts server 5XX-type responses, Googlebot will reduce the rate at which it crawls the site or even stop crawling the site entirely until the errors disappear.
So, these errors have a similar effect as the 429 response and can impact on a site’s crawl rate. The result could be evident in delays in getting new or changed content indexed. As a rule, a website should minimize the number of 5XX HTTP responses it serves.
If you absolutely have to serve a 5XX error message, for example when you’re taking a site down for maintenance, you should always use the 503 service unavailable HTTP status code.
A 503 is to a 500 what a 410 is to a 404: It’s a deliberate signal, so crawlers like Googlebot know you’ve purposefully taken the site down.
When Googlebot sees a 503, it will slow its crawl rate and not change your page’s status in its index. You can safely keep serving 503s while you work on your website with no impact on your site’s rankings in Google.
Only when a 503 error persists for a prolonged period of time will Google start interpreting it as a persistent error and update its index accordingly.
The status code is just part of the full HTTP response that a server sends to a client. Additional information is sent across with the status code. The full response of a status code plus additional information is called the HTTP header.
This header can contain instructions that clients and search engines can use to properly handle the URL.
Because of the extensible nature of HTTP headers, there is literally no limit to what a URL’s full HTTP header response can contain.
Let’s look at a number of important HTTP header elements for SEO next.
We are used to looking for canonical tags in a web page’s hypertext markup language (HTML) source code. However, you can also send a canonical link as part of a URL’s HTTP Header. This is fully supported by Google and has the exact same impact as a rel=canonical link in the page’s HTML source.
Because it’s relatively easy to implement rel=canonical tags in a page’s HTML, it’s rare to find canonical links sent as part of a page’s HTTP response. However, it’s always worth double-checking the page’s HTTP headers for canonical links, especially if you see unusual indexing and ranking issues on a website.
In the same way as canonical links, you can also include hreflang links in a page’s HTTP Header response. Hreflang link references indicate that a page has alternate versions targeting different languages and/or countries. Usually, these are included in the page’s HTML source in the header, or as part of an XML sitemap.
Hreflang implementations using HTTP headers are rare, and personally, I’d not recommend it as it can be very tough to troubleshoot. Implementations with extensible markup language (XML) sitemaps are the easiest to manage, followed by HTML link references.
Robots meta tag and X-Robots-Tag
When we want to instruct search engines not to index a page, we can use the robots meta tag to do so. This meta tag tells Googlebot and other search engines not to index a page and also not crawl any links included on the page.
There is a limitation with this meta tag: it can only be implemented on URLs that serve a web page.
For example, you want to make sure all PDF files on your site are not indexed, but you can’t use this meta tag because it doesn’t work with PDF files. Instead, you can use the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header to send the exact same signal.
It’s relatively straightforward to configure a web server to send the X-Robots-Tag HTTP header with the “noindex” value for all files ending in PDF.
On Apache web servers, it is just a few lines of code to add to the site’s .htaccess file:
Header set X-Robots-Tag “noindex, nofollow”
Because X-Robots-Tag HTTP headers can easily be configured for entire directories, that can also serve as an effective method to prevent search engines from indexing secure folders.
In addition to “noindex” and “nofollow,” you can provide several other X-Robots-Tag responses that affect how Google handles the URL:
Another set of HTTP header responses can influence how a browser caches a page and its associated resources. For example, you can provide a “max-age” response which tells a browser that after a certain amount of time the page needs to be re-requested from the server.
Cache-control headers primarily affect a page’s subjective (re)load speed and won’t have a huge impact on how search engines crawl and index the page. Nonetheless, due to the importance of load speed for SEO and usability in general, it’s worth familiarizing yourself with these HTTP headers to make sure you can provide accurate and valuable advice to a client who wants to enhance a website’s load speed.
The Vary HTTP header serves a range of purposes relating to compression, cookies and mobile websites.
For use with mobile websites it is especially important, when a site uses dynamic serving for mobile users, to serve a specific Vary HTTP header so that search engines know to crawl the site with both desktop and mobile crawlers. This specific HTTP header is Vary: User-Agent.
This HTTP header tells Googlebot that the site will serve different code to desktop and mobile users. As a result, Google will crawl the site with both types of user-agent and determine which version of the code to rank for which type of users.
HTTP headers for security
While not directly related to SEO, helping a site be more secure is never a bad thing.
HTTP headers play a big role in security, too, as proper use of the right HTTP headers can make a website less vulnerable to a range of potential security issues.
There are dozens of HTTP headers that serve security purposes, such as:
We’ve just scratched the surface
I have provided a small sampling of HTTP status codes and HTTP headers. If this article has piqued your interest, the web has countless resources for you to learn more about the HTTP protocol and the web’s client-server architecture, such as:
Becoming well-versed in this aspect of the web will help you be a more effective SEO and also serve you well in other areas of digital marketing.
After all, what we do is mostly focused on the web, so a better understanding of the web’s underlying technologies is quite useful indeed.

In Nashville, leaving the area where an accident happened is always illegal. The Tennessee Code Annotated sec. 55-10-101 states that any driver involved in any type of accident is required to show their name and address as well as their driver’s license when asked by a police officer at the scene. Also the law requires the driver to get everyone involved in the accident (who may be severely injured), to any nearby hospital or make arrangements to have everyone get first aid and medical assistance. Failing to do any of these things is a felony under the Tennessee law. These are just basic laws that every driver must need to follow to keep everyone safe including himself.
REASONS WHY A DRIVER FLEES THE ACCIDENT
There could be many reasons why a driver leaves the scene after the accident. One could be that the driver is under the influence of illegal substances or drugs and so he or she may think of just hiding so they can escape possible legal repercussions, or simply because they don’t know what to do at that time. Other reasons could include that the driver has no insurance, or he or she is afraid of any financial obligations required of him because he doesn’t have the money to be able to pay for damages. Either way, the police will investigate and will try to locate the hit and run driver so they can face the possible legal consequences waiting for them and that justice will be served.
GETTING COMPENSATED FOR THE ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THE HIT AND RUN DRIVER
Getting compensation from the accident could be a challenge especially since the hit and run driver is already nowhere to be found, but everyone must know their rights involving car accidents. This is especially true if it incurs high medical bills, brings on debilitating physical impairment, lost wages, pain and suffering. The victim could be entitled to damages from the hit and run accident. However, a hit and run accident must be proven and backed up with evidence that there was really negligence on the part of the hit and run driver that caused the accident, in order to be able to claim damages and compensation for the injury.
NASHVILLE LAWYER IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT
Getting involved in a hit and run accident could be very stressful. Especially when you do not know what to do after the accident. Also, not only will the hit and run accident tire you emotionally and physically, but it can also be very burdensome financially. Thus, an expert Nashville lawyer could be a great help. They will guide you in whatever steps you need to take after the accident. The Nashville hit and run accident lawyer will assist you in filing for insurance claims or file a lawsuit to get the right compensation you deserve. Whenever you find yourself or any family member involved in a hit and run accident, call an expert Nashville hit and run accident lawyer right away and discuss the necessary options you may have. | <urn:uuid:264ca7e8-44a7-4d22-80ce-6996c503f82c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://nashvillecaraccidentlawyers.org/hit-and-run-accidents/ | 2018-11-15T04:21:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742483.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115033911-20181115055911-00241.warc.gz | en | 0.967865 | 589 | [

Innovation and idea generation are the greatest benefits to organisations that embrace male and female leadership, but boardroom diversity is still low across most developed countries, according to new research by Deloitte.
The online study, which polled 720 business leaders from 42 countries on how inclusive leadership impacts business, found innovation and idea generation the top benefit (selected by 49% of respondents), followed by increased employee engagement (28%) and greater retention and advancement of women (15%).
“Respondents indicated that companies that recognise the importance of gender diversity will reap the rewards,” Deloitte global diversity leader Vanessa Borchers said in a news release. “Traditional approaches to diversity are getting women in the door and fostering retention and development, but we are still not seeing women advance to leadership positions quickly enough.”
Although 51% of respondents said inclusive leadership was a key area of focus for their organisation, only a low proportion of listed companies across the world embrace diversity at the boardroom level, according to a separate Deloitte report, Women in the Boardroom: A Global Perspective.
The country with the highest level of boardroom gender diversity is Norway, where 42% of those serving on the boards of large listed companies in 2012 were women. Norway was also the first country to introduce board gender quotas into law in 2005. The next most gender-diverse boardrooms are found in Nordic neighbours Finland (27%) and Sweden (25%), while the poorest diversity is in Asia, led by Hong Kong, where only 9% of those serving on boards are women.
In the UK, women account for 15% of FTSE 100 board members. Results of a recently released Cranfield School of Management study suggested that a government-set, voluntary target of 25% female membership on FTSE 100 boards by 2015 may be missed. The Cranfield study found that in March 2013 the FTSE 100 had only 17.3% women directors, up from 15% a year earlier and 12.5% in 2010.
In the US, women constitute 12.6% of board members, according to the Deloitte survey, an improvement of a meagre 0.3 percentage points in the past year.
“When it comes to gender parity on boards, the pace of change in the United States has been slow by virtually any measure,” said Nicole Sandford, national practice leader for governance services at Deloitte US.
Nearly all of the countries studied by Deloitte showed a slow improvement of between zero and 3% in female board representation. France bucked the trend by improving diversity by 5.8%.
The report noted that 21 EU countries have adopted legislation, setting a target of 30% female board representation by 2015. However, companies will not face sanctions if the targets are not met.
According to Deloitte’s online survey, 41% of respondents felt the main barrier to inclusive leadership was a failure to recognise a return on investment from having a gender-diverse workforce.

Early ripening period; bright orange colour; a peculiar and distinctive scent, intense, with herbaceous and fruity notes; tender and crispy at the same time: these are the factors that have contributed to the success on both national and international market of Carota Novella of Ispica IGP ((Protected Geographical Indication).
The geographical area of production, the South - Eastern part of Sicily, is characterized by a typical Mediterranean climate, with arid summers and mild winters. These climatic conditions let the root grow and develop in an excellent way and contribute to obtain a product with extraordinary organoleptic and unique features. The characterization of Carota Novella of Ispica IGP is firmly connected to its ripening period. The ripening process on the fields of these lands starts in mid- February (because these areas are better exposed to the sun) and ends in mid- June (for those less exposed), so that Carota Novella of Ispica IGP is on the market from the 20th of February until the 15th of June.
The Consortium originated in 2010 when this product obtained the recognition of the European Union as IGP. The Consortium aims at promoting, labelling and watch-guarding the quality of this product safeguarding and keeping surveillance on it, in order to increase the selling of this product on both national and international market .
The packaging and processing facilities must be located in the area of production in order to guarantee the quality, control and traceability of this product. Any storage by intermediaries of this product must be carried out within the territorial area delimited by the disciplinary.
The Carota Novella of Ispica IGP is traded in sealed packaging, in a way that the opening of the package involves the breaking of the seal. The packaging allowed by the disciplinary are: up to 2 kg tray covered with protective film; lot of weight between 1 and 6 kg, polyethylene or polypropylene; freshness-saving bag weighing between 6 and 12 kg.
Good for our health
The physico-chemical properties and nutritional factors that distinguish the Carota Novella of Ispica IGP (glucides content greater than 5%; carotene content, considering the production period, greater than 4 mg/100g of fresh product) and its healthy quality, make it an authentic "medicinal plant": it is rich in substances that are particularly valuable for our mind and body such as vitamins A (carotene), B, C and E; iron, phosphorus, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sulfur, copper and bromine, carotina, asparagine and docarina.
The alpha carotene is a strong antioxidant that can eliminate free radicals, the primary cause of chronic degenerative diseases; vitamins A, C, and especially docarina have a strong protective effect against coronary artery. The carrots are good allies of the intestine: carrot juice is a great equaliser of the intestinal flora and it can be used in infections and outbreaks of this organ, in convalescence after a prolonged intake of antibiotics or chemical drugs. It is also a powerful mineralizer. Vitamin A is considered as vitamin skin, very useful in case of dry skin, wrinkles, acne, ... It has an excellent effect on revitalising and toning the skin. Carrots are little caloric foods and almost fat-free, very rich in useful substances to the body and especially fiber. | <urn:uuid:1fe86c92-b2d3-43d2-8c16-b91413de4945> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.italianfoodexcellence.com/carota-novella-of-ispica-igp-an-authentic-medicinal-plant/ | 2018-11-17T16:48:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743717.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117164722-20181117185827-00047.warc.gz | en | 0.932451 | 712 | [

In Cassidy's Care: 17: Last Christmas (continued)
“Complications?” Harry’s spidery eyebrows arched. “Stop trying to understand everything Pete. There are always more questions than answers. Crows and doves son, crows and doves. It’s how you react to the storm; that’s the stuff that shapes you. What you is is what you aint.”
What I is is what I aint?
“Absolutely. Our strengths are our weaknesses son”, he scratched at his head “and ah… vice versa. We’re all shaped by our mistakes and compromises. The trick is in knowing when to let go of things; no point watering dead flowers.” Harry flinched, seemingly agitated, as if trying to make sense of a distant calling. He looked around at his chaotic collection of potted plants then back at Cassidy, his left eye drooped, rheumy and discoloured. “I’m going to tell you something now that might mark me out as a sappy pappy, something even Annie doesn’t know, but I’ll give it a go because I think you’re in need of some… affirmation.” He took a long swig of coffee.
“I was born in this house. You know that. Story goes that when I emerged all bloody and bawling the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ was bellowing out of the gramophone. He loved Handel did your Grandpa. That certainly marked the moment for old Bertie, for, secretly, he was a mawkish mule too. Just before he passed, he confessed that he’d whistle me home with that tune whenever I was out in heavy seas, probably even tried yodeling it knowing Bertie.” Harry picked up his old Corn Cob pipe and idly placed the bit between his teeth. He hadn’t smoked for over twenty years but the pipe was still a prominent feature. Only Archie dared call him ‘Popeye’.
“Anyways, when Tom was born I too felt the need to mark the moment. There were no tunes blasting out, no ‘hallelujahs’ for Tommy. But I knew I wanted to honour his birth with something that would endure, but something personal: something private: something just for me. I sat here on the porch listening to your mom howling at the saints, using language would make a fisherman blush. I took my mind off the carnage by tending to my shrubs, it’s always been a grand passion of mine as you know.” He flourished a hand. “Your mother loves to fuss over her flowers but these plants are my charge. They don’t really need me mind, feisty little fellas, most can fend for themselves, don’t shout out “look at me and love me”, makes me admire them all the more. They just get on with the business of… survival. And there I got the idea. I’d always coveted a ‘Thanksgiving Cactus’. Real beauties; strong, handsome, independent, spiky little fuckers”, he ducked his head and glanced towards the open kitchen window “but not quite as thorny as they look. Virtues that any father would wish upon his sons.” Harry blinked hard, tilted his head “And there you all are.” He nodded towards three potted cacti that stood close to his chair. “Tom is the gnarly old bugger in the cracked green vase. In fact he is the only true claw cactus. He’s certainly seen better days but, as you can see, he still produces a beautiful scarlet flower every winter. I planted Dick skew if, hence his sorry twisted self” he pointed to five contorted tubas emerging from a terra cotta pot; the tallest central digit seemed to be flipping them the bird. “I only found out recently that Dick is an Echinopsis, otherwise known as a ‘Penis Cactus’ or ‘Woman’s Joy’. Kind of ironic eh, given your brother’s name and his tomcat habits. The cactus stood proud: plump, rigid, and undeniably phallic.
“And this one is you son.” Harry reached for a squat turquoise pot that hosted an orange flowering plant, and placed it in Cassidy’s lap.
“Yours is a ‘Christmas Cactus’, in its prime this very month. Experience taught me to tend to you the best, which often means just ignoring you. No fussing, I just knew how to position you better. You’ve thrived, here in your absence.”
As Cassidy sat cradling his wholesome effigy he noticed a small letter ‘P’ etched an inch above the base of the pot. Fashioned by Harry’s hand, forty-four years ago. Forty-four years and… one month. Without warning, Cassidy’s shoulders shuddered and he wept openly, effusively. Like a baby.
“Let it go son.” Harry looked away, rubbed his forehead hard and then slid a hand into his pocket, pulling out a perfectly ironed white handkerchief.
“You’re wound too tight Peter. Too many knots. Too many complications.” He absently traced a blue embroidered ‘H’ with his thick, yellow thumbnail, waved the hanky towards his son, then thrust it back deep into his pocket.
“Seems to me that your life is too damned… considered. Maybe you’ve had to be so protective of the boys that you’ve shut yourself off from hazard. You’ve become hobbled by habit Pete. Open some windows, let in some light; you never know, a little life might creep in around the edges.” He chewed down heavily on the charred stem of his pipe. “Ring the friends that you knew before Amelia. Talk to some strangers. Go get yourself laid”, he whispered, glancing towards the open kitchen window again. “If there’s one thing I do know it’s that we seldom help ourselves.” That tilt of the head. “It’s other people that rescue us son. The best of us is reserved for other people, and the best that we can hope for is to bathe in some of their… reflected light. You get what you give Pete.” He pulled the pipe from his mouth and raised the mug to his lips. “And here endeth the lesson. Cold comfort I know, cold as this damn coffee.”
He leant forward and gently squeezed Cassidy’s knee with that huge hand, then took the cactus from his son’s lap and placed it in the incandescent light between them.
Cassidy had recovered and wiped his face on his sleeve.
“We’re all damaged Pete. That damage defines us. Our wounds might not be pretty to look at but they make us better men; give us integrity.”
Cassidy winced; how come his dad always made song lines and pale platitudes sound like immutable, well-worn wisdom?
“Honour your life boy, get to living it, but remember that the joy is in the journey…”
Christ, he should have been a country singer.
“And that truth rings like a bell."
Indeed it does Pops, thought Cassidy, brushing fresh dirt and 20-year-old tobacco from his lap. | <urn:uuid:c5cf13d1-f90f-4b53-acfd-38bd8d3ff182> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://hissyf.blogspot.com/2012/08/in-cassidys-care-17-last-christmas.html | 2018-11-18T23:25:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744750.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118221818-20181119003818-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.97036 | 1,653 | [

The La Nature de Chaumet collection brings new life to the oak, lily, laurel and wheat. These four motifs have been with us since antiquity and represent strength, purity, victory and bounty. Chaumet takes these eternal symbols and transforms them into a collection of high jewellery and watches. As a tribute to the eternal strength of the oak, it is fitting that this watch is entirely set with diamonds: the strongest material known to man. This white gold watch wraps shimmering diamond-set oak leaves around the wrist and underneath one of the leaves a diminutive dial is hidden. Even the dial is fully diamond pavéd creating a shimmering and harmonious composition of oak leaves and diamonds. | <urn:uuid:c0960687-1a7a-4a1f-8e8c-c80633f4942d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.thejewelleryeditor.com/shop/product/feuillage-eternel-diamond-secret-bangle-watch/?current_section=watches | 2018-11-18T23:42:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744750.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118221818-20181119003818-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.917989 | 144 | [

Homeland budget clears House panel
- By Judi Hasson
- Jun 13, 2003
A House subcommittee on June 12 approved a $29.4 billion budget for fiscal 2004 for the Homeland Security Department that includes more money for first responders, high-threat areas and airline passenger screening.
The bill, approved by the House Appropriations Committee's Homeland Security Subcommittee, is $1.04 billion more than President Bush's proposal and $535 million more than the fiscal 2003 budget. More than $4.4 billion is earmarked for first responders, an increase of $888 million from the amount Bush proposed.
"The bill recognizes that, while DHS has the led in developing our national homeland security strategy, implementation of the strategy requires the active participation of state and local governments and the private sector," said Rep. Harold Rogers (R-Ky.), the subcommittee's chairman.
Among the highlights:
* $9 billion for border protection, including $2 billion for the Coast Guard's homeland security activities.
* $5.2 billion for the Transportation Security Administration, including help for cargo, intercity bus and transit security, and $1.67 billion for passenger screening.
* $5.6 billion over 10 years to encourage commercial development and production of medical countermeasures against bioterrorism, including $890 million that would be available in fiscal 2004.
* $500 million for high-threat, high-density urban areas.
The appropriations bill now goes to the full committee and the Senate, a process likely to take months, before the budget is finalized. | <urn:uuid:5ba5d4e5-2d5b-4d91-8eae-4ac457d3a764> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://fcw.com/articles/2003/06/13/homeland-budget-clears-house-panel.aspx | 2018-11-18T23:45:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744750.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118221818-20181119003818-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.932873 | 320 | [

Friday was a particularly key day here at the Forest Portal, when for the second time a sweet little one found her way into my care. You may remember Fiver the mouse last year who truly touched my life in the short time he and I had together. And just three days ago, it was Strawberry the chipmunk who carved out another place in my heart. I often find myself in a guardian and caretaker role to create sacredness and reverence around our animal brothers and sisters – and especially so for the most vulnerable ones.
While Fiver’s journey was beautiful and full circle in the natural cycles, Strawberry’s experience met with happier endings in terms of how our human hearts view things.
As you know from a recent blog post, Dave and I have been readying our garage to be organized and spiffed up. This included resurfacing the floor – quite a project Dave did himself – and involved thorough cleaning to prep it, and then filling in cracks in the cement with a thick repair epoxy that you apply, and finally refinishing with a strong epoxy paint finish to seal it nicely. Well, on Friday, he’d just finished the second half of the garage with the cement repair, which was drying, before finalizing the last round of paint. He then was inside working, while I got the feeling I should water my Garden Tower and plants outside. So, I went into the garage to look for my large two-gallon watering can I’d given to Dave to use for the cleaning process of the garage floor.
I walked in to look around, and immediately my eyes went to the left side of the garage where I saw movement. I knew right away it was a chipmunk who had gotten herself stuck in the drying cement epoxy. Dave had the garage door open to help it to dry, which he’d done the previous days of work, as well, but today a little one became extra curious with layers of messages and experiences tied into that choice.
I acted fast, as she was obviously frightened and desperately struggling to free herself, which was NOT going to happen on her own.
If I hadn’t shown up when I did I’m convinced she would have struggled to death with exhaustion and further emotional and physical torment, as her fragile body would not have been able to handle it, and nobody was going to go back in the garage for a while since it was drying.
Chipmunks are prey animals and extremely vulnerable and sensitive (like rabbits), despite their adventurous bravery. Plus, with that free-spiritedness comes a restlessness and desire for them to be free. This was not only “killing” her spirit, but would ultimately be her demise.
I acted fast, knowing I had to free her. I couldn’t do it with my hands, as that stuff was just too thick, plus I wasn’t sure how she would react to my handling her. So I found gardening gloves on the shelf and went to work very cautiously and gently removing each part of her body (mostly the right side) from the silvery goop imprisoning her. It only took a minute and once I had her free I yelled for Dave to come help me.
He had no idea what I was yelling about, but arrived in surprise to find me standing there holding a little chipmunk gingerly in my hands. I told him we needed to see if we could wash some of the stuff off somehow, so he immediately grabbed a bucket and went in to fill it with water and some Dawn we had on hand – which is the stuff they used to remove the oil on ocean wildlife during the spills. It was also the only stuff that worked best with Cosmo when I had to wash him, so we still had it on hand luckily.
I held her gently and she seemed to understand and didn’t struggle much, while Dave gently rubbed around her right eye, which we felt was most important, as she had it closed and the outside was fully covered, as well as the fur around it. We got as much as we could off while the stuff was still somewhat wet, but it was impossible to get everything, as it is super thick and already hardening, as well as we couldn’t rub her too hard. But we did free her eye so she could open it. Dave went to work on the rest of her body as much as possible and he got a decent amount (maybe 1/3 or more), but still she had a layer covering the right of her body, her back, and her legs.
She’d been moving a bit in my hands, but started to slow down and stopped moving. We decided to stop because she was likely in shock and any further torment would have been too much. It’s enough that she got stuck, but now she was being held, which prey animals don’t like.
So, I told Dave to get a box with towels for her and food. I held her nestled in a towel in my hands (I had removed the gloves now, as I wanted her to feel the closeness and warmth of my touch rather than the distant, non-organic gloves), as she went into a fetal position and gave her Reiki while I envisioned her healed and whole. He came back out and we wiped her a bit to try to dry her and then I put her in the towels so she could balance back and dry.
I didn’t realize Dave had also gotten his camera and before I knew it he took this photo of us, which caught me in my sadness.
I ended up sitting with her for an hour, as she didn’t move. She laid in the same fetal position and I knew she was traumatized by it all and at this point I was worried that it had been too much for her little heart, as her breathing was labored and nearly non-existent at times. I decided to get one of my amethyst crystals for her and put it in with her to aid her in calming down and balancing out.
I stayed with her, breathed with her, flowed fluid Cosmic light through to her to fill her body, and caressed her crown now and then. All the while my heart and eyes filled with tears that I brushed away in order to be there for HER. If she was going to pass, I didn’t want her to be alone. So I continued giving her Reiki and I told her, “I love you,” several times.
She kept hanging in there and I had the sunlight on her to keep her warm while her wet fur dried.
While this was going on Dave had called our local wildlife rescue, whom I also called for Fiver, and we called once for a dove too (who ended up being okay). They didn’t answer, but I was glad they hadn’t, as I remembered that when I told them of Fiver, they said there was nothing they could do and if I wanted to bring him in they wanted me to know that they would feed him to their rescue predator birds. I knew he would be better off living the rest of his time nurtured and in comfort and peace with me….I felt the same for this little chipmunk sweetie, whom I now knew was in my care and relied on me for knowing her choices she would want supported.
I didn’t know if she’d turn around or not, so I told Dave we should find a bigger box to keep her in while she recovered and we nursed her. So he did, and made holes in the top for air, then I gathered pine needles, pine cone, some branches, put in two towels, and we added some raw unsalted hazelnuts and pieces of apple to create a little healing sanctuary for her. I included the amethyst once again.
I placed her gently inside (you can see her on the left of the box above) and brought her indoors into my room so I could be with her, and kept the top closed and door closed so the cats didn’t know she was there, which avoided any added stress of their energy around her.
I kept checking on her, but she didn’t move much.
Just breathed, blinked her eye sometimes, and slightly moved her front fingers. I gently touched her back legs, as they had the most stuff on them, feeling worried they might petrify, and rubbed her gently on her head and back to soothe her with Reiki. But mostly left her in peace to recuperate.
Intuitively I felt she was a girl, whereas Fiver the mouse and Blueberry the baby rabbit I felt were boys. I decided to confirm all of this with my pendulum, which it did. I then immediately got that her name would be Strawberry. For one, it was a chipmunk that ate my strawberries before I netted my Garden Tower and potted plants. Two, it felt to be the perfect partnering name to my wild baby bunny, Blueberry (who just as I wrote that ran by my office). And three, she is just so sweet….like a Strawberry.
We had to leave for an evening Beethoven symphony, so I put Strawberry in a safe room with box lid closed on top of that so she wouldn’t be disturbed and I have to say that the whole time listening to the classical music I thought of her and sent her energy, anxious to go home and see how she was. We were bonded and connected now.
When we got home I found that not only had she moved, but she was up and about sitting on her back legs as these little ones do and cleaning her face with her paws. She then went off to hide/nestle comfortably in the towel under the pine needles, so I figured it was time to say goodnight and wish her sweet dreams. Her wet fur from cleaning her had dried AND she’d eaten quite a bit of the food. YAY!! This was a great sign.
I gave her more food for the night and told Dave that I felt if she continued well the next morning, that we should release her, as I could sense she would be miserable and not do well by being trapped in the box. She’s far too free-spirited and explorative – and sharing that essence myself, I knew that would not be supportive for her. I was prepared to care for her for however long she needed, but the least amount of disturbance to her nature was best, if in fact she was capable of going out on her own.
I went to bed feeling lighter and optimistic, grateful I had found her, she was doing better, and that she chose me for this journey.
The next morning I checked on her again and she’d eaten more food and had continued moving around. Her untouched/non-epoxy coated fur looked fluffy, and when I gently nudged her, she was moving all four legs and feet spritely like her chipmunk self.
True to her chipmunk self and what she symbolizes, she wasn’t going to let anything get her down. Depression isn’t part of their M.O., as they maintain positive outlooks on life always, teach us how to view things lightly, and never let the idea of failure get to them.
Strawberry seems like the perfect mascot for the Summer Solstice Gratitude Giveaway that just kicked off today with 39 committed souls.
They are also great leaders in bringing harmony and fulfillment to life, as they know how to balance dedication to work with playfulness and fun. They turn hardworking into an artform of adventure, where discovering new things is their joy and the way to make things more pleasureful in the process.
They also enjoy solitude and that’s just what Strawberry was needing. She mostly wanted to hide in the towels and I don’t blame her, as this was all quite the adventure she likely didn’t have a clue would be this tough.
I do have to say that she was the sweetest and trusted me fully, as I never handled her again with gloves after the first initial phase and she never tried to scratch, bite, or do anything to me. We had an understanding.
We decided it was time to release her so we took her box outside my sliding door on the deck. Dave gently turned the box on its side while I held everything in place so she had a soft and easy transition with the movement. Dave then taped the box in a way it provided a small opening on the left where she could come and go as she pleased, but would keep out any larger animals.
In this way, she could choose to stay or go, and had a safe and warm place with food if she so desired or found herself not feeling as well as she thought she was.
Astrid had been a part of the whole experience, and along with me, was nurturing Strawberry with energy through the day, night, and morning. And when we took her outside and placed her down, Astrid was at the door watching over it all, as you can see here.
Dave left and I stayed a bit giving her energy and told her she could go. I put lots of protection and energy all around her for when she did decide to leave, and intended the healing energy would stay with her as long as she needed. I went inside to let her be, while I worked at my desk keeping the corner of my eye on if she went. I checked about a half hour to forty five minutes later and she was still there huddled in a corner.
I went back in and immersed in things, releasing any need to see her leave, and returned about a half hour or more to check and she was gone.
Strawberry was free, and although her fur would take time for the stuff to completely go through natural cleaning, shedding, and rubbing against nature and the elements, I knew she’d be okay and have quite the story to chat about with her friends. Chipmunks are great with communication, and hence message to us our ability to be good with words, spoken or written. So, it’s no wonder I’m telling her story now, as she chirps it in my ears to give voice to her experience.
It didn’t take her long, as several hours later, when Dave completed the last step of painting the second half of the garage floor, I was called out to the garage again to get something. The second I opened the door and stepped in, what do you know?
Another chipmunk was inside exploring, and had ventured over to the side where Strawberry had gotten stuck. (A chipmunk just ran by my office, as I wrote this – too fast to check who it was). Anyway, luckily all that cement goop was dry and the paint wasn’t sticky and had already started its process so this little one didn’t fall on the same experience. As soon as he/she saw me they ran back out through the small opening Dave had left for the drying.
Strawberry hadn’t wasted any time telling the others how she got herself into the Faery Realm with Astrid and Faery T.
And that’s how Strawberry came into my life for a couple of days, and yet her presence lingers strongly in heart and here in the Forest Portal.
She won’t be hard to spot (at least until she fully gets the stuff off of her fur), so we’re keeping an eye out for sweet little Strawberry.
I took many things away from the experience – from the simple to complex.
Some of it included things just for Dave, some for me, some for Astrid and myself, and indeed for Strawberry herself. Some of it in relation to the symbolism I mentioned chipmunks embody and some of it simply messages I derived from current experiences in our lives.
There was also the collective message to me that keeps coming up in theme of how mindfulness and thinking ten steps ahead is necessary, as to the possible repercussions and far reach things can have beyond your immediate experience. Humans and nature living in harmony isn’t something most people think about, nor how everything we do affects nature’s cycles. Ideas of progress don’t take into account nature in that mix. Technology can be used in ways that enhance and work with nature, rather than completely against it. Perhaps that’s part of why I love living in the mountains and on the forest, and why I like to keep our landscape as natural as possible, so as to blend with nature rather than change it. Our house has a lawn it came with, but I let the clover and other plants and flowers the little animals love munching on, growing on it. Things like fixing/painting your garage can be dangerous, as you saw in this story and it makes me ever-more determined to be diligent in finding ways to not repeat what I, others, or our ancestors have done to Earth’s children. I always drive slow because of all of the animals that cross the street and that I’ve seen killed by recklessness. We can always do better and at any given moment, do our best.
Native Americans view chipmunks as messengers of luck and fortune – sometimes also carelessness and yet even though they don’t think before acting, they are still lucky.
I’d say that’s accurate for little Strawberry and perhaps she might be sprinkling some of her good vibes on us about something good being on its way. Chipmunks are said to grant wishes that reflect your most treasured heart’s desires. Hmmm!
She’s definitely made an impact and through her luck, she taught us to think more like a chipmunk so as to better our lives and theirs.
I also found it interesting that she may be reflecting a message for Dave, since he had done the garage work. He recently has come upon an injury likely from skiing that got aggravated through biking and is waiting on an MRI to see what the issue is. He can still hike, but any weird turns/twists of his leg/groin area causes pain. He told me how it had him very down and worried until the last day or so, as he’s very active – like a chipmunk – and not being able to get out and do the outdoor adventurous stuff he loves, puts a damper on his spirits.
I feel Strawberry was messaging him to keep his spirits up. Even though she also was incapacitated and stuck, she didn’t give up. And while she may carry that odd fur for a while, she’s still going to enjoy life and not let it get her down. A chipmunk must keep that free spiritedness nurtured, which is why I wanted to release her as soon as possible but only if I knew she could walk and was strong. So, like her, Dave too will be ok and have his legs in working order as he likes again to get skiing and biking once things resolve and go through their healing process. Perhaps he just needs some rest and recuperation like she did, and a new perspective, with some Faery dust on top.
Synchronously, the next day after she left, Dave and I went to Tahoe Meadows for a different hike than our usual, which inspired him and got his spirits high again. He found that he could do more hiking than he thought and went out again this morning on his own for an adventure.
As for me, since I mentioned shadow work with the garage metaphor recently in a blog, Strawberry felt representative of this and how quickly we can integrate healing when we bring things to light and invite things to be seen. We all have vulnerable spots and not all of them are always hidden. And with consistent work, they become easy to see.
Strawberry showing up felt symbolic of how ease has come to this process and that things aren’t hidden anymore in my life. They also aren’t things that are bigger than me, nor scary. So while chipmunks definitely remind us of quick journeys into secret passageways, tunnels and doorways, she definitely wasn’t hiding from me – nor do I hide parts of myself away from myself anymore.
She reminded me of my most vulnerable part being my heart and that it’s capacity for love is a huge gift.
She reminded me of what is most meaningful in my life at this time, which is being a voice for the vulnerable and innocent ones – especially the big spirits in little bodies – and to use my gifts merged with theirs to inspire harmony.
She reminded me that this is and always has been my gift – to work with the animals and to be a channel for their message.
She reminded me that my home is an animal sanctuary and all that live in the forest know and I’ll be called upon again and again as a Faery godmother and guardian to those in need.
And to all of that I say yes and humbly embrace the hand they offer me.
When I held Strawberry in my hands, just like with Fiver, Cosmo, Astrid, Joy, Nestor, Gaia….and all of my little ones who have been in my life, all I can feel is both the fragility and endurance of life and love that breathes in that moment and the greatest of honor and responsibility granted for me to embrace.
To have their trust means everything to me. I will never take that for granted.
Strawberry is part of the Forest Realm and I can’t help but feel her actions that day were made with wise intention for us all, including herself. I sense a part of her who has been curious looking in on Astrid and myself in our Faery portal room got the best of her. She may have acted rash, but with chipmunk luck on her side she not only got to walk away with the greatest tale to share with the other chipmunks about what it’s like on the other side of the glass, but she got to receive the love of a Faery and her Faery bunny, enjoyed a decadent feast, and has the silver and Reiki lined fur and body to prove it.
Strawberry became a legend herself, as the magick chipmunk of the Forest Portal.
June feels ripe with much in motion and round-the-clock fullness, which is being mirrored in all the flowers and green blossoming everywhere. I mentioned recently in conversation that dream time is stepping forth in grand ways because it is where the layered realities of our multi-dimensionality are. This reality we are focused on in waking life is but one offshoot of what really is and things will flip when the collective is ready to “live the dream.” This last week has been layered with interweaving parts that are merging into a new creation. I’m sensing many can feel what I’m saying and are experiencing the difference, as well as likely have been involved in a lot recently too.
The first three photos you see here are of our home on the forest. Everything right now is coming up flowers and is completely enchanted. I can’t get enough of all the variety of wild flowers surrounding our house and throughout the forest, as we let our hearts wander the paths. I can’t help but stop to take them in with all of my senses, which sparks a feeling within to skip and frolick to join in Nature’s dance.
The layers of lush beauty and blooms seem to reflect the many layers of fertile potential stirring in the cauldron of our inner desires and dreams. Anything is possible. We just simply have to choose what we want to nurture, cultivate, and grow with all of that potential.
And speaking of dreams, I can’t emphasize enough how potent these are and have been for me. Things have been amping up and increasing there. I’ve always been a vivid dream weaver, but I’m experiencing so much more there than ever, including more of that cohesion of bringing together the multiple realities going on at once so that things are becoming more seamless.
I continue to dream in excess of people I know and having remote viewings, very clear psychic experiences – that I would rather say are simply tapping into the other realities and living and remembering them in the now, rather than actually being this psychic experience that seems supernatural – and when I touch in with people they confirm what I “dreamed” as being exactly what is going on with them.
This in part has to do with my Pisces boundless energy, but I’d like to emphasize that I feel this is where we’re headed as a collective in progressively tapping into our multi-dimensionality as no longer a concept in our minds, but a reality we live and co-create in. It would be too much for many if it simply opened fully and immediately, so in stages, the more each of us are tapping into it, the more the collective at large is, and vice versa it also speaks to the readiness of the collective that this is possible too.
This is the progressive spiral of humanity moving into a wider experience of dimensional cognition that the other parts of ourselves are already experiencing.
I’m finding that the more this happens, the more full my life is and the more I am experiencing the direct alignment and effects of every little thing I do very clearly. When we stop to recognize and be curious about it all, we expand and draw in more possibility.
It’s been a full week and continuing. I know many of you have found yourself with full plates as well. I always like to review things in my life and connect the dots, as it ignites things more and bringing things together.
And what a week it’s been:
- I read four books – just started my 5th – that had the perfect ingredients for the next leaps. I haven’t read much recently, but Dave has a library card and the last time I went with him I suddenly found myself with a stack of six books coming home – I’ll likely have the last two done here shortly. I followed my intuition and was led to the exact books perfect for the next phase of experience and creation. Even the order I’ve been reading them has unfolded in perfect cohesion.
- Cleaning out and organizing was at the forefront again – I am finishing our bedroom closet, started my office closet, and Dave and I have been working on our garage – the last piece of our house getting fully settled since moving in. We marvel at the fact that nearly 100% of the garages people have here in Tahoe are unusable, meaning they are full of stuff people store or throw in there and they park their cars on driveways – yes even in the snow of Winter. And even the few who do park inside have disorganized garages that are a storage area for mostly old and unused things. Feels very symbolic to me about the subconscious and unconscious parts of the collective that are running the show in the shadow. I feel that even our unseen spaces speak to our lives and it’s bothered me that the garage was, to us, unorganized even though to others it wasn’t. And the same for my office closet, although organized, just has way too much in it that I had to find space for at the time and now is going to be cleared. This speaks to clarity of mind, heart, vision, and manifestation to me and also of shadow integrated rather than hidden, denied, or tucked away. As I look through every piece it reflects a piece of my inner world I am putting into productive use or releasing. The timing on getting these clear as the last steps, mirrors what’s ready to come forth. We even decided not to just organize and open our last boxes for the garage, but are getting rid of things, got shelves and storage boxes to have it all organized, are hanging our bikes to have clear space, and before all this we’ve been prepping the foundation of the garage – also symbolic – by cleaning it, filling cement cracks, and painting it in a nice finish to keep it clean and look good. No reason the garage can’t be special! It feels like taking care of the shadow in a way of valuing and merging it as usable.
- I found a magickal horse duffel bag hidden in the garage – in the process of all the moving around a bag of stuff showed up that I thought I had lost, got stolen, or I threw away by accident. But in going through this process it showed up tucked away behind things. In the bag were some very cool things that were meaningful and special, including a portal tapestry I’ll be hanging downstairs in the guest room that will mirror mine and create a dual doorway reflecting layers of multi-dimensionality we have access to. Treasures found in the process of clearing.
- I found our telescope – my parents had given us a telescope when we moved back to Tahoe and there it was in the garage all dusty and in a corner. I cleaned it up and brought it in and set it up downstairs for now. This feels like a treasure too with clarity, vision, and connection bringing the Cosmos in closer merging with Earth, as the two become one through our physical forms
- Honing in on details for more effectiveness – I/we have been doing a lot of this and especially so in the shared business/work I have with Dave. In the interim it may seem like more work, but sets things up to be passive and supporting the intents we have for our life
- Anchored in new sacred rituals – in bringing to light more ways to be effective and aligned, I’ve added in some different practices to enrich my/our life further and it’s definitely making a difference
- Deepening shadow work and increased daily vitality and magick – this has included another level of awareness and application to bring more unification to life and making things easy and natural to discern and experience in each moment
- Taking action on intuition and putting in place the steps for actualization – by listening to myself I’m seeing the thread on the weave tighten from being a loose loop and the image of the tapestry reveal itself by bringing things together. I’ve put my ideas out there vulnerably and have received welcoming yes’s to them. This is bringing together the perfect collaborations and I know will continue to
- Garden tower recycling prolifically – I’ve harvested quite a lot and the last big harvest left the tower quite bare, but it’s all grown back in again. This tower has been even more abundant and rich than my last one and I feel its reflective of the things I’ve shifted, as well as the endless abundance available to us in our heart wells. I love seeing everything as a metaphor for my life
- Blueberry sightings amped up – the wild baby mountain cottontail that lives here outside my office has been coming around abundantly. I named him Blueberry based on a dream I had of a bunny I adopted. The interactions between us and seeing him daily is another metaphor for things and to me is reflecting the path I’m on and have been cultivating, as well as the book I’m completing and its process
- Fun news about Astrid – TBA but not only have her ears healed, but she is stepping out more and more collectively in her work and visibility
- Sunshine immersion – during all of this I have been getting out daily in our beautiful 70’s weather and getting some great Vitamin D time, which I thrive on and that infuses extra vitality. I’ve also started using my Sun Oven again, which also infuses extra vitality in our food. So while dream time is revving, it is in balance with daytime immersions. All things in harmony create wholeness of being and experience
- Dreams going crazy with psychic, remote, and symbolic messages that are bringing waking and dream life together – I already mentioned that above
- And amidst all of it I’m still on track to finish my book this potent month of June with the Solstice portal aiding it. This is my last editing/reworking before I surrender it to the next phase and a professional editor
So, yes there are many layers going on and these are just the main ones I’m sharing to express how I integrate the meaning, reflections, and symbolism into my life as a unified field of experience.
These last photos are of the Forest Portal we live on, where this magick is unfolding, and of all the beauty blooming here in the wild, enchanted garden of my heart.
As I continue to observe the collective energies, I am also constantly observing my own and both the reflections and contrasts that compliment and synergize the journey unfolding. I’m fascinated at the process and how I’ve been led to shift in ways of incorporating the macro within the micro experience…the wholeness of All That Is residing in the way I integrate and transmute energies as an experience of my own remembering and healing empowerment. I continue to go through shifts in my perspective on so much, which has changed the course I have been on and resulted in complete shifts of the way of life I once knew and committed to, to something altogether different. This has definitely led me to release a lot from my life and to understand the repetitive cycling nature of my focuses that needed to come to full circle closure once and for all.
And as always, these take on forms in the physical, as well as the energetic realms. And I see how rebirthing is a totality of experience that even transforms how I look because of the inner changes that take root. I can look back over the course of my life and just by seeing photos of myself, my physical form, hair colors and styles, clothing, demeanor, facial and eye color shifts, I can tell you the story of what I was embodying within.
I don’t know on the conscious level what I’m doing always when I make these changes, as it seems to be an inner knowing that takes hold without need to understand…they simply begin to take form because I have this strong urging, inspiration, and impulse that says do this! even if I can’t understand fully why or that it seems odd to what I’ve known of myself thus far.
This has been evolving in the last several months with my hair – believed my many Native Americans to be the spirit’s physical manifestation of growth that opens/enhances extrasensory perception and symbolizes connection to all things, as if like tentacles reaching out to the world around us.
Without meaning to, my hair has increased in lightness, as I’ve continued to support the dramatic “silver lining” of it to come through in the physical. This started slowly, but as you can see in the photos, has taken over about 75% of my hair. I still have the dark underlining – symbolic of both light and dark existing together and both a part and separate to each other – but now this halo of lightness pervades.
I’ve never been drawn to light hair for myself really, but something has definitely shifted with that and because of the silver essence, I am feeling at home in it, likely because of the Cosmic reflections/implications and not simply Earth-based ones inherent in it for me.
But symbolically, it also speaks to the rebirthing energy abound – for me, so many others, and the collective at large. There indeed seems to be an identity shift going on to more expansive ways of being and embodiment. I’m noticing it in many people I know and have discussed this with Laura who also is in process of her own shift in this regard – yet to be determined.
Perhaps many of you will identify with this as well and the journey I’m sharing will speak to your own transformations taking root on many levels.
For me, I’ve always been drawn to the dark….hence my dark, black sacred tattoos and for many many years having black hair (my natural is a medium/dark brown, which is the darker areas you see between the silver in the photos)…interestingly my skin also easily browns and can get very dark/even has gone quite black from the sun throughout my life.
I see this as the journey I’ve embarked on in knowing my shadow and being willing to also take on that energy for the collective in reflection to help bring things to the surface. It also speaks to me of the ancient connections, roots, and heavier/intense layers of soul history and within my DNA that I was led on a journey to dig deeply into, research, reclaim and understand in a new way – some of this being a pattern of recycling, but then finally breaking free of it.
And in mirror of the fluidity of life now being experienced and a shift into more lightness and gentle flow with things, I can see very clearly why this lightness has taken over my Crown Chakra.
Light haired – light hearted, as Laura mentioned, which was actually an auto-correct typo in texting with her that made much sense. 😉
That is definitely what I am feeling, as the heaviness has dissipated – even with all of the intensities in the collective right now. Perhaps that would seem odd to feel that, but since change begins with us and collective harmony will be a result of that peace within, I don’t find it surprising.
And yet this lightness is a new revisiting on the spiral of evolution, although exquisitely familiar. It feels infused with something fresh, inspiring, inviting, and full of creative potential.
It has not forgotten its parts.
It knows its wholeness.
And it contains sound seeds of harmonic confluence.
A field of dreams we have entered and reality is yours to dream into Being.
Yet be wary of what you intend to manifest, as it WILL.
I increasingly am seeing how responsible co-creation is of the essence. (something else Laura and I have discussed a lot)
Along with harnessing increasing power and magick, one must be conscious of the ramifications inherent in that experience and its far-reaching effects.
I remind myself constantly about seeing things from as many possible angles and probably potentials, and making sure to incorporate the highest good of all concerned in everything, as well as to be specific as to what I DON’T want to happen in order for my manifestations to take form, just as much as what I would love.
Dream big, but dream responsibly!
I finally had time to post this commissioned Magick Crystal Wand after a busy time of late and it felt like a perfect one to share as closure to these custom pieces, for now, and the collective energy at large. Standing at exactly 21 inches – the tallest of all to date, but femininely intricate and graceful in its presence – I call this one “The Illuminator”, as it brings to light and clarity the truths within to create alchemy. There is a white feather flame at top that helps one journey through the complex layers and worlds of both Shadow and Light, to transmute them. In some way you could also call it the “Shadow Walker” or “Transmuter” – potent indeed.
I’ll include all the feathers and crystals that have been woven and channeled into this Magick Crystal Wand below, but here are some generals about the wand’s energy.
Although it walks the worlds of both Light and Shadow, overall it carries an essence of lightness and the message that one’s journey can be a graceful one. This wand has the most feathers of any to date I’ve created – 14 total – which mirrors its new guardian who walks with birds always and has many bird spirit guides supporting her journey. She and I mirror many synchronicities with this and share dream journeying with our bird friends and more.
I love the white feather flame at top that really sets the tone of energy for the entire wand being a journey of illumination and carried on the wings of grace. They come together, focusing this energy, at the wand’s top Tibetan Quartz Crystal that very delicately sits atop the natural points of the wood that hold it like delicate Faery fingers.
There is also a Tibetan Quartz down below as well….”as above so below.” They also compliment one another, as the top one is clear throughout except for the darker area (characteristic of a Tibetan Quartz) at the bottom, and the bottom double terminated one is mostly dark with a couple of areas that are light (including its top point).
Both demonstrating that Light and Dark are both present in everything.
I also continue with the theme of “as above so below” with the two Amethyst that sit both at top and bottom – spiritual enlightenment accessed and anchored through both journeys of Light and Dark. The top one has a spiral vortex emanating out in gold wire (the wire of choice used throughout this creation) and the bottom one is criss-crossed with an anchoring “x” of gold wire below.
There are actually 7 spirals down the shaft in total – representing the 7 Charkras – some tiny/small and others larger.
Below the top Amethyst there is then about 3 inches of clear Quartz and Turquoise “rain” I’ve created to mirror the energy of a dream its guardian had about Feather rain, but also to add a mirroring and both Water and Air elements for the integration and transmutation process at the heart of healing.
The energy is then anchored at the bottom with a much larger, triangular Turquoise with large spiral of gold below it.
The wood of this wand is light in color to continue with that “lightness” theme and overall there is much intricacy in the design.
I feel like the wand itself at any moment can take to flight with all of the bird energy, and in general really feels as though you can “rise above” things from a different perspective on the “wings” of its energy.
The hanging Feathers are floating on Robin’s Egg Blue satin cording (to match the Turquoise) wrapped in gold wire.
Another stunning Being I’m honored to have channeled into manifestation.
Here are the Feather and Crystal energies included:
5 White Goose Feathers at top to create the Feather Flame (supplied by me)– The Goose and its feathers embody loyalty, forging ahead with bravery and confidence, teamwork and comradery, protection, clear communication, determination, dedication, fellowship, fidelity, fertility, the balance of knowing when to lead or follow, compassionate keepers of the community and embody the sacred circle and sanctity of the cycles of life, astute navigation, discernment of life path and choices, teamwork, protection, and committed responsibility. Geese never leave one of their own behind for any reason. They will stay with the sick and injured until they are either well again, or to support them as they transition.
2 Osprey Feathers (1 mostly white with faint touches of tan at top at the front of the Goose Feather Flame and 1 white and brown at the bottom laying on top of the Seagull feather – both supplied by new guardian) – mastering the conscious and unconscious. Osprey are also symbols of the Sun (solar worship), royalty, illumination, visionary power, sovereignty, vigilance, Egyptian symbol of the soul, honing the senses, precise timing, and keen sight to see through illusions and to hunt in the waters of emotion.

3 Seagull Feathers (2 Norwegian Seagull Feathers supplied by its guardian – the big dark and light ones at back – and 1 lovely white and brown mottled one at bottom that I found, under the Osprey Feather) – These feathers bring the winds of new heart freedom, personal authentic power, creative self expression, and joyous new perspective to breathe in, ride, and navigate these constantly fluctuating energy streams with perseverance and vision to more clearly see the opportunity and purpose within everything.
Juvenile Hawk Feather hanging from right on top of Pigeon Feather (both supplied by me) – Awareness, perspective, perseverance, endurance, sharp insight, truth, visionary power, guardianship, strength, initiative, decisiveness, creativity, messenger (often of change), caution, maneuvering, leadership. Hawk’s meaning teaches us to be observant and to pay attention to what we may overlook. This could mean a talent we don’t use, a blessing for which we haven’t expressed gratitude, or a message from the universe. The hawk has keen eyesight, it is about opening our eyes and seeing that which is there to guide us. Hawk awakens vision and inspires us to a creative life purpose.
Black with Gray tip (love that symbolism) Pigeon Feather (from the Dove family) hanging on right under Juvenile Hawk Feather (both supplied by me) – Pigeon and Dove both carry the same symbolism of peace and love, but also carry clear vision and dream messages that provide glimpses into things coming and confirm you are “on path”, divinity at work, blessings coming, opening mind and heart, healing, gentle self-nurturing, surrender and release, embrace the integrity of your natural self and purity of your creative spirit to nurture imagination and follow your own true path, as you cultivate hope for the new. The “between times,” but also heralds how the physical and spiritual are more rapidly merging with the thinning of veils that arrive with your willingness to see more clearly.

We are both of the dark and the light…we are their alchemical transmutation. When we remember and walk responsibly through the shadow of our truth, we recognize and embody the brilliance of our creative power.
We often are focused on searching for the light, and yet the mysterious magnitude and beauty is in walking the recognition of our complexity within the cosmic abyss of our consciousness in totality.
Every time I see amazing displays of light around me and the environment I find myself in, I realize it is only because I am embracing the dance with shadow and understanding its immeasurable potential, that these experiences and appearances are possible.
And in return, they are reflecting that message if in fact we don’t realize this.
It is how we responsibly utilize these energies that becomes the focus and creates the challenge we are here to harness with intentful awareness every step of the way so as not to duplicate recurrences of our past, but to align us with future expansive probabilities through the presence of all-encompassing consciousness now.
“In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present.” ~Francis Bacon
On the eve of September 30th’s rare New “Black” Moon, this musical expression seeding a new field of experience was inspired while stationed on the edge of farm fields in Big Springs, Nebraska. With the assistance of my Cosmic Golden Selenite Flower a sound channeling came through … creative storytelling through harmonic resonance.
It felt like no coincidence, once again, that days earlier I had been guided to bring home a new crystal friend – a small, but potent Black Moonstone. It was the only crystal that spoke to me, as we wandered through a metaphysical shop on the Saturday after Equinox.
At that time I was not aware that we were approaching a rare New “Black” Moon, which would complete the month’s cycle of powerful shifts. And I didn’t know about all of the Black Moonstone’s properties. I just knew it really resonated and spoke to me.
But I did immediately connect with the Black Moonstone’s properties with a big “a-ha!” when learning more and of course the synchronicity of it having an extra focus of New Moon energy for beginnings of all things.
Black Moonstone embodies the space from which all things new emerge and are created from. It is very protective, deflects unwanted energies, encourages inspiration, helps remove blockages for past trauma healing and profoundly deep emotional connection/expression, enhances intuition and inner knowing to bring you under guidance of your feelings rather than be led by intellectual reasoning.
They are crystals of the deep Divine Feminine energies and powerful Shadow workers that aid bringing you in touch with your Root Chakra to connect down to Earth with the calming and grounding they exude.
Balance and cleansing are also part of their supportive energies and work powerfully during dreamtime.
Along with Root Chakra work they assist with the Throat, Third Eye, and Crown Chakras as well, assisting creative self expression and psychic gifts.
Some, like the one I have, also have Peach Moonstone embodied within the stone, which adds the Sacral Chakra connection and will help enhance emotional work, give your creativity a super boost, and supercharge the birthing of new ideas and creations.
They also are excellent for aiding the flow of synchronicity in your life.
I slept with my Black Moonstone under my pillow during the period surrounding and on the night of the Black Moon and continue working with it closely at my side because of its “synchronous” energies to all I am focused on.
Here’s the sound channeling encapsulating the energies flowing through the eve of the Black Moon Rising.
I hope it inspires and supports the energies shared above, within your own experience.
To go in the dark with a light is to know
To know the dark, go dark. Go without
and find that the dark, too, blooms and
and is traveled by dark feet and dark
This felt like a perfect “farewell for now” message to leave you with, as I will be offline for an unknown time, beginning tomorrow.
Getting to the root of matters will help you to connect to the core of your truth.
Don’t be afraid to unearth the unseen, as the hidden aspects are still running the show whether you acknowledge and see them or not.
We become much more empowered and capable of handling anything, when we are willing to reveal and embrace what is beneath the surface.
Then we can nurture and feed the roots of our essence with the food of our soul, rather than allowing external factors and conditioning to be the sustenance of our existence.
“Add moonlight for contrast and shadowy suspense. Add sunlight for bright clarity and illumination. Mix them both in your soul-pallette and become the horizon, spreading into your full expanse.”
Another amazingly rich and powerful piece written by Anna Nimm. I so resonate with everything she shares here and in fact it is reflective of what I often get into discussion about in my workshops, as this is what I feel to be the key stuff. Again we are hitting on transmutation here.
Having seen the movie Maleficent, I was right there with Anna, sharing in her insights, but even if you haven’t seen the movie, you will find this to be well worth the read and easy to grasp the concepts Anna so beautifully expresses.
And if you get the chance to see the movie, please do.
Thank you Anna Nimm for yet another brilliant and important share.
Aurora, the dawn, the princess of light and goodness who is blessed by fairies to always have a smile on her face, has a dark, malefic shadow. When Aurora meets Maleficent (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYemY3xFsB), she says, “I know who you are. You’ve been watching me my whole life. Your shadow has been following me ever since I was small.” She invites the shadow to come out from the dark forest so she can look upon her face. Maleficent answers “then you’ll be afraid.” In this teaser clip (which doesn’t correspond to the actual timeline of events in the film), when Maleficent steps out from the darkness, a wall of thorns rises up around the enchanted forest, separating the shadow world of dark, mythical creatures from the human kingdom of light. It sounds like a perfect Jungian account of our first encounter with the shadow – when we first get a glimpse of…

Pflanzgarten is our smallest double room and has with its pitched roof area a very cosy atmosphere. It is equipped ensuite with a 140cm double bed, wardrobe, shower. Situated on the first floor with a view to the tourist entry of Nurburgring's Nordschleife, which is just 400 yards away.
The openes of the Pflanzgarten should have provided a welcome respite.
The jump demands controlled aggression and some thinking to execute it well.
The Pflanzgarten is literally where the garden of the earls of Nurburg used to be. | <urn:uuid:ea4c373a-7cd8-463b-9af3-2cdeeee6214f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.ringhaus.eu/english-1/our-rooms/pflanzgarten/ | 2018-11-20T05:42:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746227.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120035814-20181120061814-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.921765 | 128 | [

March 29, 2018 was a day of prestige for Lagos, as President Muhammadu Buhari officially visited the state for the first time since he became President in 2015.
During the President’s visit, he commissioned some state projects and also visited Bola Tinubu, national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who was celebrating his 66th birthday.
However, it was a day to forget for Lagosians residing on the mainland — because all car routes were shut down.
The shutdown was considered necessary by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode and the Nigeria Police Force because the President would be commissioning a Bussed Rapid Transport (BRT) terminal in Ikeja. There was attendant eonomic loss, as entrepreneurs were unable to transport themselves to work.
Also affected was the Computer Village, the biggest ICT accessory market in Africa, as more than a thousand shops were locked.
Lagosians were stoic towards the decision of the state government with the hope that the about-to-be-commissioned bus terminal would ease their daily transportation stress.
Two months down the line, the bus terminal, which was commissioned by the President, is yet to begin operation.
On a positive note, the state government has bought the buses to be used whenever the terminal begins operation. But the big question remains, when will it be ready for use?
Speaking with SaharaReporters, some Lagosians expressed dissatisfaction with the state government, questioning why the terminal was commissioned when it was not ready for use.
“When it was commissioned, I expected work to start immediately, probably the second day of the commissioning but two months after, nothing has happened," Paul Gbolahan said.
A bus driver who plies the Ikeja axis maintained that the commissioning was not properly planned, saying: “They should have put some things in place before they commissioned the terminal. I am surprised that nothing was done since the commissioning of the terminal.”
Another resident, Morgan Olusegun said Ambode should not have commissioned the terminal when he knew it was not ready for use.
“Since the Governor knows the terminal is not ready, why was it commissioned?” he asked. “They should know they are ready before commissioning the terminal.”
Noting that the terminal was commissioned for political reasons, Augustine Okeke said: “It is not wise for them to commission it when they know that they are not ready to start working. For them to commission it before they start work is part of corruption.”
Urging the state government to establish a partnership between the state and transport union, Paul asserted that the new buses cannot meet the demand by the huge population of Lagosians.
“The state should synergize with commercial bus drivers because there are some areas in inner part of Lagos mainland that these buses cannot go to,” he advised.
'Other components are not yet ready'
When he was contacted, Ladi Lawal, Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, explained that the terminal hasn't been put to use yet because its functionality is hinged on other uncompleted terminals.
"It is true that the bus terminal was commissioned but those are two components of a very holistic approach to solving Lagos’ transportation problem," he said.
"There are issues of bus shelters because when those buses take off from those terminals, they are meant to drop people along the way. Some of those places are those shelters which are still under construction.
“We are talking about Oyingbo, Yaba and even the OShodi one is not ready yet. When the buses take off from one terminal, where should the bus drop a person who is going to Oshodi, when the terminal is not completed?”
He further explained that route planning, route mapping and assigning of routes to buses still need to be completed before the operation starts.
“All these components have to be brought together to ensure that the system is set up work efficiently and seamlessly," he further explained. "A lot of things have to be done at the backend before we roll out for you to see. We have to test the buses to ensure that we get the fueling right, those are components that we have to put together into a plan and a system."
He expressed happiness that residents of Lagos noticed the progress being made in solving transportation problem in the state, and promised that other terminals being constructed would be ready before December 2018.
“I’m glad that Lagosians can see that there is progress and a lot of thinking and resources being pumped into it," he said. "Work is ongoing, the Ikeja Terminal is ready and the other terminals would be ready before the end of the year.” | <urn:uuid:05d27d6c-e6ad-4e5a-b6e6-504ac02b37ed> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://saharareporters.com/2018/06/20/three-months-after-buhari-shut-lagos-down-ikeja-bus-terminal-still-not-use | 2018-11-21T12:06:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039748315.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121112832-20181121134832-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.981513 | 988 | [

“I wanted to create a waking dream on screen and show that horror is not to be found in the things around us but in our own subconscious” — Carl Theodor Dreyer about his film, Vampyr (1932)
Vampyr is a hypnotic and claustrophobic mix of eerie images featuring surreal elements shown through an interplay of light and darkness, disorienting geography and camera movement, morbid shot compositions, and occult symbolism. Some thematic elements are obscure sickness, a man’s shadow coming to life, the iconic horror film sight of the man with the scythe, constantly misty weather, and nightmares about being buried alive.
The chambers of the abandoned buildings are metaphors for the rooms of the mind. Any lines between reality and nightmare appear to be blurred. Allan, the dreamer, has an obsession with the occult, and his perspective is sometimes ambiguous, seemingly unreliable. Through the technique of superimposition, his identity is split, and a ghostly image of him emerges.
The haziness of the shots was initially accidental, due to light exposure; then Dryer decided this aesthetic was suitable for the concept of the film and adopted the look using translucent fabric over the lens as a texture and soft focus photography.
The elusive and ephemeral quality of the film is also given by the fact that some of the material was lost, some of it was later restored and re-edited, and the film exists in different versions. | <urn:uuid:ee3d19df-a44f-44d6-951b-d674d1e2f67b> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://dianamarin.com/2018/10/16/vampyr-1932-dir-by-carl-theodor-dreyer/ | 2018-11-21T13:00:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039748315.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121112832-20181121134832-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.958071 | 304 | [

Yale Researchers Identify Molecular Link between Obesity and Fatty Liver Disease
The high levels of obesity in the United States contribute to fatty liver disease, the most common form of liver disease. A newly published study from Yale University identifies molecular links between the two, and points to a possible therapy.
Fatty liver disease — also known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or NASH — frequently progresses to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Currently there are no approved therapies. A team of researchers, led by Dr. Wajahat Mehal, director of the Yale Weight Loss Program, conducted a study to examine how obesity triggers a receptor protein, TLR9, which plays a key role in NASH development.
First, the researchers confirmed the role of TLR9 by observing that TLR9-deficient mice did not develop fatty liver disease even after being fed a high-fat diet. They also identified the ligands, or TLR9-activating molecules, that are elevated in both mice and human subjects with NASH. Finally, in collaboration with Dynavax Technologies, they tested a TLR9 blocker in mice fed a high-fat diet and found that it protected them from the development of NASH.
The findings have important implications for this life-threatening disease. “TLR9 could be targeted as therapy for NASH,” said Mehal, adding that other drugs that target the same pathway could be potential therapies.
“From other clinical trials, we know humans can take this TLR9-blocking drug, and it’s not toxic,” he said. The next step for Mehal and his colleagues is to determine the appropriate dosage of the TLR9-blocking drug in animal models before conducting clinical trials for patients with NASH.
The study was published January 25 in The Journal of Clinical Investigation. | <urn:uuid:e4d270ef-0a85-4bf1-8fbb-a47ee602aff0> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.healthyfoodstyle.com/yale-researchers-identify-molecular-link-between-obesity-and-fatty-liver-disease/ | 2018-11-14T00:11:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741569.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114000002-20181114022002-00521.warc.gz | en | 0.949503 | 383 | [

The Pollensa Hoteliers Association, which until now has maintained a silence over the work on the semi-pedestrianisation in Puerto Pollensa, is to meet the company responsible for the work at the town hall today. It is asking that work which has currently been undertaken in demolishing existing pavement is completed and that no other work is started, but is rather delayed until next winter.
The association has been concerned about the delays to the work and also about the scheduling. The project, the town hall now seems to be saying, won't be finished until June, whereas there was an initial finish time of 9 May, which was itself extended to 24 May because work will be suspended for two weeks over Easter.
It is precisely because of Easter, an earlier start to the season and the anticipation of greater numbers of early-season tourists that the association wants part of the project put off until the winter. It considers that it would be "irresponsible" for further demolition work to now start and it has the backing of the local residents' association and businesses which deal in holiday homes in calling for a postponement of work.

Denver Roofing: Article About Selecting A Roofing Company
A roof replacement is one of the most expensive projects a homeowner will invest in. Although most homeowners will only have to take on such a task once or twice in their lifetime, it is still very important to hire a qualified Denver roofing professional for the job. However, when a homeowner has had a few companies come out to give them estimates, it can be difficult to decide which companies' services to choose. These factors may help a homeowner make the final decision.
The homeowner should find out how long a company has been in business. This will give them a good idea as to how much experience they have and how good their understanding of roofing systems and business practices are. Homeowners will want to ask for an estimate, in addition to making sure the company has a business phone number, a tax identification number and confirming if they are licensed and bonded.
Copies of the company's liability insurance should also be requested. Professional roofers should always have copies of their insurance certificates and workers compensation papers on hand, just as drivers must carry proof of insurance with them. Liability insurance and workers compensation coverage are both important for any contractor working in or on a home, as it protects the homeowner and the contractor, should any injuries or damages to the home occur on the job.
A roofing companies contractor from All Around Roofing of Denver can answer any questions you have about siding or insulation.
If the company is not licensed, then the homeowner will be liable for any damages that occur during the job.
The homeowner should also be provided with a written estimate. The estimate should clearly state what is included, when the work will begin and the estimate time frame for project completion. It should also state when and how payments will be made. Homeowners should be wary of any roofing contractor that is insistent that the work be paid in full up front. Typically, not more than 25 percent is requested as a deposit prior to the work commencing. The estimate should also discuss the warranty and what factors could possibly void the warranty.
It is also important that a homeowner remember that price is not always a reliable indicator of which contractor to choose. Although price can be a significant factor when selecting a roofer, a homeowner should also feel comfortable and confident in the roofing company they select. If price is a sticking point, homeowners can also inquire about any available discounts or rebates. | <urn:uuid:1e672d50-dbc4-482c-bcef-f6264a7826f9> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.qualitydenverroofer.com/denver-roofing/selecting-a-roofing-company.html | 2018-11-15T08:00:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742569.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115075207-20181115101207-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.974005 | 495 | [

What a week!!!
Congratulations to Rachel (with Red) on the safe arrival of Baby Isla, born on Friday morning, 5lb 10oz. Mum and Isla are both doing well.
Then not to be out done, Joker had 5 pups on Sat morning. After a scarey time and an emergency caesarian, Mum and pups are all ok. There are 3 girls (2 are red and whites - a deep chocolate colour) and 2 boys. I saw them for a cuddle today and they are so so cute. If you know any agility folk that are after a new pup please let them know.
After the excitement of the show news last week, total stress this week as Agility Club, Caerphilly, Chippenham and S Devon have all changed their dates next year, leaving us no gap in the diary to hold our show. We are currently waiting on news from Cornwall if we have secured a late application for a date in May - watch this space.
I really enjoyed the group training session on Sunday despite the strong wind. It was great to see so many of the dogs really improving their turns, and the handlers getting more confident in their timing.
See you all at training! | <urn:uuid:93f9ec6c-48be-4a61-b3d2-af3b12136b60> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.swat-dogs.com/swatblog/read_7520/babies-galore.html | 2018-11-17T19:24:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743732.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117185331-20181117211331-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.969434 | 252 | [

We fools may not all hold the same opinions, but we all believe that considering a diverse range of insights makes us better investors. The motley fool has a disclosure policy. Articles, inventors That Changed the world, imagine a world where you were not able to fly to any part of the world that you wanted to. Also, imagine you live in a world where you are not able to pick up a phone and communicate with someone else?
And, imagine a world where you are not able to get instant information on an event while it is happening. These are all everyday occurrences that we probably take for granted. However, without the inventiveness, courage and creativity of a group of inventors, we would not enjoy the life we currently have. There are a number of inventors who have greatly contributed to the lives we currently live. Without the work of Charles Babbage, the world would not have had computers. Without the work of Philo farnsworth, we would not have had the television. And, without the Wright Brothers, we would not enjoy the ease of travel throughout the world.
He had the desire to participate today to prove the world he had not lied. When they were just getting started, the brothers were able to shut out the rest of the world and focus on their work. Kitty hawk turned out to be an excellent place for allowing them to do that. Years later, when they finally attained great wealth and fame, both brothers remembered those simple days at Kitty hawk as the happiest time of their lives. "If I were giving a young man advice as to how he might succeed in life, i would say to him, pick out a good father and mother, and begin life in Ohio.". Wilbur is obviously being lighthearted here.
But I think there's an element of truth in the remark. It reminds me of Warren Buffett's comments on the "Ovarian Lottery" - where he expresses how lucky he is for having been born in America. I think the Wright Brothers knew how fortunate they were to be born into an extremely positive environment - both at home and in their larger community. Dayton, Ohio, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was a vibrant, growing city where the people had, according to another of its notable sons, "the courage of their dreams.". Obviously, we don't have control over the environment we are born into. But we can change the one we live in as we get older. And we can certainly try to create better ones for our children. I highly recommend that you read. It'll change the way you think about these great Americans.

Sometimes, we're tempted to just apply more muscle to a project or a problem. Stopping to learn and think about how we might improve the process can often yield even greater results. "Well, if I talked a lot I should be like a parrot, which is the bird that speaks most and flies least.". Wilbur Wright, who made this strange quip, was a doer not a talker. I came away from this book with tremendous admiration for his humility and single-mindedness. At an early flight demonstration, one observer wrote: Wilbur Wright is the best example of strength of character that I have ever seen. In spite of the sarcastic remarks and mockery, in spite of the traps set up from everywhere all these years, he has not faltered. He is sure of himself, of his genius, and he kept his secret.
And they, of course, practiced on the beach at Kitty hawk,. C., so there was soft sand on which to land. As a result of their precautions, they were able to log countless hours in the sky, which was one of the main reasons they achieved their breakthrough. Like a lot of great investors, they were prudent, but not overly cautious, in their approach to risk-taking. "The best dividends on the labor invested have invariably come from seeking more knowledge rather than more power.". This" from Wilbur provides an interesting insight into their development of some of the earliest planes. Each new model often came with more powerful motors, but that wasn't where the big improvements came from. Instead, discovering an improved "scientific design" resulted in better planes. I think this" is a nice illustration of the principle of working smarter.
extremely fortunate to grow up with a father who taught them to have open minds and think for themselves. Years later in Paris for a short stay, wilbur visited the louvre 15 or more times. This dedication to learning both within and outside their chosen field of study was a key factor in their success. "The man who wishes to keep at the problem long enough to really learn anything positively must not take dangerous risks. Carelessness and overconfidence are usually more dangerous than deliberately accepted risks.". Wilbur recognized early on one of the key dilemmas facing early flight enthusiasts. One needed a lot of experience in order to master the various difficulties involved, yet each "experiment" could possibly result in death or serious injury. The brothers were able to solve this problem by being disciplined about managing risks during their early flights. First, they made sure they didn't go too high.
I truly believe that each of us can improve ourselves greatly by learning from their remarkable example. Below are five lessons on how to be successful from Wilbur and Orville Wright. "But it isn't true to say we had no special advantages. The greatest thing in our favor was growing up in a family where there was always much encouragement to intellectual curiosity.". Here, orville was responding to a friend who told him that he and his brother were great examples of how far dubai Americans with no unique advantages could advance in the world. Orville knew, of course, that they actually had grown up in a very encouraging environment. He and his brother remained curious about all aspects of the world throughout their lives. Their father, milton Wright, was a bishop in the United Brethren Church, and was considered well-educated for the time.

The early pioneers of flight faced tremendous obstacles. The experiments were wallpaper expensive and extremely dangerous. And those brave souls who devoted themselves to developing "flying machines" were ridiculed as cranks and fools. Such knowledge makes the achievements of the Wright Brothers all the more remarkable. In his outstanding new book on the brothers, The Wright Brothers, david McCullough notes, In no way did any of this discourage or deter Wilbur and Orville Wright, any more than the fact they had no college education, no formal technical training, no experience working. Or the entirely real possibility that at some point, like otto lilienthal a german glider enthusiast, they could be killed. Instead, the brothers remained focused on their mission with an unyielding determination. Learning how to fly is one of the greatest accomplishments in all of human history. I came away from this book in awe of the incredible discipline, determination, and courage of the Wright brothers. | <urn:uuid:19d25a35-caa7-472a-b1a3-180431397e9d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://menshy.32essay.com/my-handbook/orville-wright-and-wilbur-wright-biography.html | 2018-11-19T03:38:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745015.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119023120-20181119044459-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.977438 | 1,787 | [

My licensed home childcare will incorporate the experience and knowledge I have gained while working 13 years as a preschool teacher most of which was at a NAEYC accredited 4 Star Qualistar rated program. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I have a fenced in backyard and there is a park nearby. I absolutely LOVE spending my days watching children learn, grow, and experience the world around them, to me there is no other job as rewarding!
I offer care in a warm, family home environment with lots of playtime, story time and age appropriate activities. Your child will thrive learning new things with other children. I have been a licensed daycare provider for over 17 years. I am CPR and first aid certified. I accept children from newborn to school age. I provide breakfast lunch and an afternoon snack. I have a large backyard for children to play in when the weather is permitting. I also provide excellent references.
I enjoyed reading Nourishing Traditions (NT) and have incorporated some of the information from that book into my family's diet. It also prompted me to delve into some areas of nutrition research that I hadn't read before NT. I expected this book to take a similar approach to child care (i.e. present qualitative and quantitative research, give an overview of historical trends, and present ideas from various cultures). I had high hopes for this book, since Sally Fallon was once again listed as an author, but after reading this book perhaps I should search for more from Mary Enig (the co-author of NT, but not on this book).
The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care makes the principles of traditional nutrition available to modern parents. The book provides holistic advice for pregnancy and newborn interventions, vaccinations, breastfeeding and child development, as well as a compendium of natural treatments for childhood illnesses, from autism to whooping cough. The work of Rudulf Steiner supports the book's emphasis on the child's spiritual requirement for imaginative play.
Otoacoustic emissions are clinically important because they are the basis of a simple, non-invasive test for hearing defects in newborn babies and in children who are too young to cooperate in conventional hearing tests. Many western countries now have national programmes for the universal hearing screening of newborn babies. Periodic early childhood hearing screenings program are also utilizing OAE technology. One excellent example has been demonstrated by the Early Childhood Hearing Outreach Initiative at the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management (NCHAM) at Utah State University, which has helped hundreds of Early Head Start programs across the United States implement OAE screening and follow-up practices in those early childhood educational settings. The primary screening tool is a test for the presence of a click-evoked OAE. Otoacoustic emissions also assist in differential diagnosis of cochlear and higher level hearing losses (e.g., auditory neuropathy).
Dear Premier Wynne, even if one didn’t have children and had no idea how our child care system works, by just looking at the proposed changes one would concluded that a 12 month old is at a completely different developmental level than a almost 2 years old. And having 2 year old learning with children ready for Kindergarten doesn’t make any sense. Please do the right thing here to our already pathetic underfunded child care system and withdraw these changes.
In 2009, Stephen Beeby of The University of Southampton led research into utilizing otoacoustic emissions for biometric identification. Devices equipped with a microphone could detect these subsonic emissions and potentially identify an individual, thereby providing access to the device, without the need of a traditional password. It is speculated, however, that colds, medication, trimming one's ear hair, or recording and playing back a signal to the microphone could subvert the identification process.
I must admit I am surprised that with the concept of Nourishing Traditions being about adopting traditional methods of preparing foods as observed in ultra-healthy non-western people groups, I expected the book on baby and child care to promote more traditional and indigenous ways of nurturing (not just nourishing) little ones, such as babywearing and co-sleeping. I guess we always have The Continuum Concept by Jean Liedloff for that!
There are myriad sections without references. At other times the authors reference secondary sources (in discussing toilet training they note that "Pediatrician Lindy Woodard believes that a child can and should be trained by thirty months; in her professional experience, children who are trained at an older age have more problems learning to use the toilet." p. 168). Often the subject of a section would lack focus and context, such as p. 209 where the authors talk about "soul disorders" in reference to mental health. One assumes they are referencing the work of someone else, but it isn't cited or put into context. This leaves the reader to wonder why the authors would consider if "wisdom teeth extraction impacts our souls."
Currently I am babysitting out of my home. I will eventually be getting my license and have made great changes to my place to make it fun as well as safe. I do offer a daily schedule and I try my best to operate as a daycare, although I am always trying new things to see how my parents and children adjust to make it most convenient and comfortable for them! I love to teach and care for children of any age. I do have 7 of my own which are here as well but they are all in school full time so they may be here in the a.m. drop off or afternoon pick up. So I will definitely have everyone meet so you know who will be around children. My main purpose is to help parents by giving their children a fun, safe, loving, caring environment to be in while the parents are working! I work for you and the children so I am flexible on hours as well. I also enjoy taking them on field trips such as museums, parks, swimming, zoo, amusement parks, and any other fun places we can find that's weather appropriate if need be! Tons of learning does go on without it seeming like so, because everything we do is fun while they are in our care !! I do hope to hear from you and possibly schedule a meet and greet, thanks for your time and have a blessed day! | <urn:uuid:b158fd30-6dc5-4f35-9f66-9b0625074a62> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://todays-child.com/aurora-co-daycare-rates-per-hour-daycare-prices-per-week-80016.html | 2018-11-19T03:37:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745015.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119023120-20181119044459-00051.warc.gz | en | 0.965547 | 1,290 | [

Screen Development Wire Mesh
Screen development Wire Mesh
The annual import of silk screen in China has reached more than one million m, and the import products are mainly over 270 items of polyester silk net and nylon Wire Mesh. The high density screen of high technology, high strength and low screen, antistatic screen, the special treatment screen and polyester high Wire Mesh screen need to be imported.
Domestic network of polyester yarn and nylon nets, have a good sale, polyester silk net and export in a small amount, but domestic little screen types and specifications, high quality, high Wire Mesh, wide screen to be exploited.
A new type of non-woven silk screen has been developed abroad, which overcomes the problem of the traditional silk weft line. * * ultrafine modern graphics screen printing, screen printing subtle levels, the high precision positioning quantitative screen printing screen printing, special printing ink and large color screen printing and so on, the screen to use put forward higher requirements: such as high strength, low elongation variability, repeatability, consistency, long service life, etc.; Such as printed electronic micro-components, integrated circuits, multi-layer printed circuit, fluorescent digital display, space instrument flat panel display and other high-tech products; When network, some screen printing requires anti-static, metallization, physical, chemical treatment or special materials.
The precision of printed circuit boards and electronic components is obvious, and the requirement for size position is high. In addition to the polyester, polyamide, and stainless steel, the Wire Mesh has been used as a yarn core with high tensile strength, which is made of polyamide. It is made of polypropylene ester fiber, the net eye 330, the diameter of the line is 23 mu m, the interweaving is 36 mu m, can obtain high tension, really is the silk screen of the age. Moreover, in order to meet the requirements of precision, all of these screens are treated by plasma treatment, metal evaporation, polishing and processing.
Metal Wire Mesh is used in screen products as an important part of the assembly. For the moment, metal Wire Mesh has occupied a very important position in the field of silk screen production, the existence of it, can not only makes the structure of the screen itself is rigorous, at the same time, also effective to enhance the performance of the product is a essential metal materials. However, how does the product implement the function of binding with the screen? It also has to start with the product's own structure. Next, I will give you a brief explanation.
Wire Mesh products, mainly divided into several parts, such as Wire Mesh, pillar and base of each part plays a different effect, compared with the past commonly used wooden structure of the fence, Wire Mesh is the most prominent advantage is that the more a metal Wire Mesh structure, the structure is not only effective bearing pressure of external factors, and also can have the effect of solid Wire Mesh structure itself. Besides, this part can also beautify the whole effect of screen, making the whole class of silk screen "go up one floor". How does the web slice bind to the overall fence?
1, the column section at the top of the screen, there is a Wire Mesh of metal structure, the structure of the Wire Mesh is about 25 mm in diameter, is play a role for both between each other in a very good connection. In general, the factory USES 304 stainless steel columns for assembly, and the assembled parts are mostly nuts.
2. In the middle of the column, it is also bound to the part of the screen. Generally speaking, the columns that people see are usually used for ordinary round tubes, special steel pipes or other types of pipes. Normally, this type of column is bound to the Wire Mesh, using the nut or the construction thread to work until the two are firmly tied together. To sum up, screen products are made from the common columns of the web and metal rings. The top top adopts the bolt processing binding, the upper and lower double loop metal Wire Mesh, and has promoted the double coil screen beautiful, the convenient aspect characteristic. | <urn:uuid:f3b6d7c2-2480-4fc6-910f-18ac20a20afe> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://m.lbwiremesh.com/news/screen-development-wire-mesh-6699919.html | 2018-11-20T11:41:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746386.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120110505-20181120132505-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.933961 | 853 | [

|MILESAGO: Australasian Music & Popular Culture 1964-1975||Groups & Solo Artists|
Jeannie Lewis (b. 1945) is widely acknowedged as one of our most accomplished, versatile and passionate vocal artists, and a performer whose work crosses many musical boundaries.
Jeannie started her singing career on the Sydney folk and jazz circuit in the mid-1960's then moved into the rock scene in the early 70s, establishing a strong reputation through her dynamic performances and powerful interpretations of songs both on stage and on the outstanding recordings she made in those years. During the 80's and 90's she continued to develop and broaden her career, with roles in musical theatre and the unique one-woman cabaret shows that reflected her growing love of Latin music, and her commitment to the often-underrated role of women's voices in music. Jeannie can adapt her voice to a large and eclectic range of material -- folk, rock, blues, opera, torch songs, Broadway tunes, tango and jazz -- and she is recognised both here and overseas as a peerless interpreter, with a rare ability to make almost any material her own.
By the time she left Sydney University in the late 60's, Jeannie had already begun her performing career on the Sydney folk scene, as well as singing with jazz groups, inlcuding The Ray Price Jazz Quintet, The Nat Oliver Jazz Band and The Alan Lee Jazz Quintet, and her first commercial recording was as vocalist on the Ray Price Jazz Quintet's album Spectrum, released in 1971.
On February 14, 1970 Jeannie made her one of her first major public appearances as a 'rock' performer. With the progressive band Tully (who had just finished their stint as house band for the Australian production of HAIR) and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Jeannie collaborated in the Sydney Proms premiere performance of Peter Sculthorpe's innovative work Love 200, with lighting and effects by the legendary Ellis D. Fogg (Roger Foley). This ambitious work for two vocalists, rock group and orchestra featured a libretto by noted TV dramatist Tony Morphett (Dynasty, Certain Women) and was written to commemorate the Captain Cook bicentennial. As the title implies, it explored themes of Captain Cook's journey to plot the transit of Venus in 1770 -- the voyage that led to his "discovery" of Australia.
The meeting with Tully was the beginning of a long and fruitful working relationship between Jeannie and members of that group, notably Michael Carlos, who became her musical director and composed much of her first album. Later in the year she put together the Sydney-based group Gypsy Train which included ex-Tully vocalist Terry Wilson, jazz pianist and noted session player Bobby Gebert (later a member of supergroup Duck), Kydric Shaw (guitar), John Helman (bass; ex-Levi Smith's Clefs) and Daryl McKenzie (drums). In 1972, Lewis sang the title song to Jim Sharman's debut feature film Shirley Thomson Versus The Aliens.
In 1973 EMI issued Jeannie's classic debut album, Free Fall Through Featherless Flight, arranged and directed by Carlos. Its cover was designed by renowed Australian artist Martin Sharp whose first record designs were the classic psychedelic covers for Cream's Disraeli Gears and Wheels of Fire LP's). The superb list songs included some fine Australian compositions like Jeannie's inimitable renditions of Graham Lowndes' "Till Time Brings Change", Company Caine's "It's Up to You" and Billy Green's setting of the Dylan Thomas poem "Do Not Go Gentle" (which Billy revisited the following year with Doug Parkinson on vocals, for the soundtrack of Sandy Harbutt's movie Stone). Other mtracks include Some Book of Life" (a collaboration between Patrick Flynn and Reg Livermore) and "It'll rise again", an excerpt from Love 200, co-written by Peter Sculthorpe and Tony Morphett.
Backing Jeannie on the album was an all-star lineup including Michael Carlos on Moog, organ and harpsichord, Mike Wade and Mike Reid (guitars), Ken Firth (bass; ex-Tully), Jamie McKinley (ex-Cool Bananas, piano), Greg Henson (drums), Alan Lee (percussion), Marcia Hines (backing vocals), Shayna Stewart (backing vocals, ex-Extradition, Tully), The Fidelio String Quartet and a wind section. The album won the Australian Radio Record Award for the Best Australian LP of 1974, despite receiving virtually no radio support whatsoever outside the ABC, although it was featured on Chris Winter's pioneering show Room To Move, and gained further airplay in the early days of radio station 2JJ (Double Jay) in Sydney.
Also in 1973, n 1973, Jeannie joined with The Alan Lee Quartet to participated in a series of ground-breaking jazz concerts in Melbourne's National Gallery of Victoria. Alan Lee, one of the great innovators of Aussie jazz, was inspired by great composers of the 20th Century, and he adapted works by Stravinski, Faure, Rodrigo, Villa-Llobos and Cantaloube for his small jazz ensemble. His sensitive treatment of these great masterpieces not only did them justice, they also brought these important works to the attention of a new generation. Fortunately, recordings were made at these concerts and some survived; these have now been released on the CD The Alan Lee Quartet and Friends: The Gallery Concerts 1973.
Jeannie's second album was the live-set Looking Backwards to Tomorrow (In and Out of Concert), featuring another wide-ranging set of material, included her versions of Ray Davies "Celluloid Heroes" (also covered a couple of years later by Reg Livermore in Betty Blokk Buster Follies), Dory Previn's "Scared to Be Alone", Stephen Sondheim's droll "Ladies Who Lunch", another powerful Graham Lowndes song, "The House is Burning", and the Reverend Gary Davis' "Cocaine Blues", on which Jeannie was backed by The Foreday Riders. "Celluloid Heroes" b/w "Rocelli Kaharunta" was issued as a single, and the American label Mainstream released the album in the USA.
Jeannie's next record was an ambitious double-album set Tears of Steel & The Clowning Calaveras (1976) which recreated her famous series of concerts held in November 1975. She drew the initial inspiration for the project from the poem Tears of Steel by Chilean writer Pablo Neruda, and from the 'Day of the Dead' ceremony, held annually in Mexico on the Catholic feast of All Soul's Day. This unique festival, in which people parade with `calaveras' (mock skeletons) in "a burlesque parody of life and death", is ostensibly a Catholic riutal, but is in fact a remnant of ancient pre-Columbian Aztec ceremonies. Again, Lewis and musical director Carlos put together an powerful and eclectic set of songs, including Phil Ochs' "The Crucifixion", Graham Lowndes' "Rising of the Tide", the Jimmy Webb classic "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress", The Fugs' "When the Mode of the Music Changes", Bowie's "All the Madmen" and Dory Previn's "The Game".
The concerts and album were the first obvious sign of Jeannie's burgeoning interest in Latin American music and culture, and in late '75 she was became one of the first 'popular' performers to be awarded a grant from the Australia Arts Council to study overseas. Another notable grantee that year was former Country Radio leader Greg Quill. Thanks to the grant, Jeannie was able to spend two years in South and Central America, where she immersed herself the music, culture and politics of the region. She returned in late 1978, and one of her first major appearances after her return was supporting John McLaughlin on his Australian tour in July 1979. Her next stage show "Krazy for You" featured a typically diverse choice of material ranging from Nick Lowe and Bruce Springsteen to Noel Coward.
In 1981, with actor/writer John Derum she created and starred in "Piaf, The Songs and the Story", their hugely successful tribute to the music and life of the legendary French singer Edith Piaf. The show received tremendous audience and critical acclaim in numerous seasons both in Australia and internationally, including Hong Kong. She also recorded an album of 15 songs from the show, "Piaf: the Songs and the Story" released in January 1982. (She had originally appeared in 1980 in the leading role in the Pam gems play "Piaf at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne).
Jeannie continued in musical theatre with a role in Weill's "Threepenny Opera" and in 1983 she presented a new show, "So U Want Blood", backed by 'The All Singing All Dancing Orchestra' -- Red Symons (guitar, musical director; ex-Skyhooks), Paul Grabowsky (piano), George Worontshak (keyboards), Ian McDonald (bass) and Eddie Van Roosendael (drums; ex-Stiletto). Larrikin/EMI issued the So U Want Blood soundtrack album, and the single Big Cliches (Are The Best) / Just One Spark was released in September.
Jeannie continued presenting and writing her own acclaimed one-woman shows -- "For a Dancer", a show about the life and times of her mother, premiered at the1982 Adelaide Festival; "Voxy Lady: A History of Women's Voices" Adelaide premiere in 1990, and also a new cabaret show "Dangerous Lovers" (1992). As well as her own shows, Jeannie appeared in a 1984 theatrical production of Bizet's "Carmen" for the Melbourne Theatre Company, represented Australia at the Festival International Cervantino in Mexico (1987), sang in the Paul Robeson stage show "Deep Bells Ring" (1987), performed on the children's album Cinderella a Cappella album with Margret Roadknight, Moya Simpson and Blaire Greenberg (1994), and toured a revival of "Piaf" in 1996. In April 1995 EMI issued a CD version of the compilation of her 70's material, Classic Tracks 1973-76.
In 1998 Jeannie appeared in "Love, Life, Death and the Weather" at the Performance Space with Patrick Harding-Irmer, Anka Frankenhauser and musician Steve Blau.
In November 1999 Jeannie collaborated with flamenco dancer Veronica Gillmer on the production "Camerino", at Sydney's Tom Mann Theatre.
two divas share
the same stage let alone a dressing room?
Camerino brings together two of Sydney's veteran divas, Jeannie Lewis and Veronica Gillmer, under the direction of Jose Farinas.
Developed from a work shown in 1998, the vision of this work goes back to 1980 when Lewis and Farinas met Gillmer after her jaw-dropping performance at the Cell Block Theatre, when the three first discussed the idea of working together.
The collaboration brings together the women that Farinas says, "move me more than anyone else on the stage". His direction exposes the power and singularity of two highly experienced performers and their particular talents - the power, subtlely and wit of Lewis's voice, which draws on many different vocal traditions and the dignified stillness, mesmerising hands, elegance, easy humour and lithe charm of Gillmer's performance style.
From the 'Camerino' program notes (Source: CitySearch)
In January 2000 Jeannie joined in the cast of "One Word …We", Maurie Mulheron's musical biography of Pete Seeger, at the New Theatre, Newtown, Sydney, and later at the Woodford Folk Festival 2001. She was a special guest performer at the Sydney Cabaret Convention 2001.
It's a pleasure to end
this brief review of Jeannie's remarkable career by noting that in May
2001 she received a wonderful accolade in the form of an $80,000
Fellowship grant from the Australia Council. The Fellowships provide
financial support for two years to enable artists to dedicate time to
creative work and professional development. Jeannie will use her
Fellowship develop a new collaborative project, Southeart,
"inspired by the tango Corazon al Sur and the
similarities between the Southern lands of Australia and Argentina",
and she will also continue her work on a semi-autobiographical
anthology of short stories, poems and songs. Lewis believes her
projects "will ensure that Australian music continues to explore its

It’s Technically ILLEGAL to Throw Away Bottles and Cans in Michigan
When I first moved here, doing the whole bottle and can return was weird for me. In Arkansas and Indiana (two states I’ve lived considerable amounts of time in) throwing bottles and cans in the trash, perfectly acceptable. Yes, we had recycling, but NO incentive on using it.
So I move to Michigan, where I pay $.10 extra on every bottle and can I buy… but it’s like a little saving account for later (usually for candy bars and stuff) when you go and return the dimes. So if you’re tossing them out, you’re wasting money, but it’s your deal.
EXCEPT, it’s technically illegal to throw cans and bottles in the trash in Michigan.
Okay, actually it’s illegal for cans and bottles to end up in a landfill, which technically falls on the garbage collecting companies, but still, IT’S ILLEGAL TO THROW BOTTLES AND CANS IN A LANDFILL…so clap your hands, clap your hands. (Sorry that keeps playing in my head when I say bottles and cans..)
The actual law from Michigan.gov reads:
A law passed in 2004 (PA 34 of 2004) prohibits beverage containers, as defined in Deposit Law, from being disposed of in a landfill. Beverage containers may be placed in recycling bins, taken to a recycling center, or redeemed for deposit.
And now you know.

Inpatient Consult Service
The general pulmonary consult service provides pulmonary consultation throughout Barnes-Jewish Hospital including the wards, non-medical intensive care units, and the Emergency Room. The pulmonary consult service is comprised of an attending physician, a fellow, and often residents and students rotating on the pulmonary consult service. The consult service performs the bronchoscopies as indicated for the patients who are seen in consultation.
A vast array of patients with multiple underlying disorders including airway diseases, interstitial diseases, respiratory infections, pulmonary vascular disease, pleural disease, neuromuscular disease, respiratory failure, and pulmonary complications of solid organ and stem cell transplantation are encountered.
The pulmonary consult service also consults on patients in the Pulmonary Progressive Care Unit, providing guidance on long-term ventilator weaning, noninvasive and invasive ventilation for patients with chronic respiratory failure, and assistance with long term tracheostomy care and management.
The division also provides inpatient pulmonary consultation services at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital. | <urn:uuid:3ca888f0-21c4-4d26-aef3-de47b8b8025f> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://pulmonary.wustl.edu/patient-care/inpatient-consult/ | 2018-11-14T04:46:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741628.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114041344-20181114063344-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.884461 | 208 | [

|This is not a typical bull market. Gold is not rising in value, but instead, currencies are losing purchasing power against gold and, therefore, gold can rise as high as currencies can fall. Since currencies are falling because of increasing debt, gold can rise as high as government debt can grow. Based on official estimates, America’s debt is projected to reach $23 trillion in 2015 and, if its correlation with the price of gold remains the same, the indicated gold price would be $2,600 per ounce. However, if history is any example, it’s a safe bet that government expenditure estimates will be greatly exceeded, and [this] rising debt will cause the price of gold to rise to $10,000…over the next five years. (Let me explain further.] Words: 1767.
So said Nick Barisheff (bmgbullion.com) in edited excerpts from a speech* he presented at the Empire Club’s 18th Annual Investment Outlook on Thursday, January 5, 2012. I was his guest at the luncheon as editor of www.FinancialArticleSummariesToday.com and www.munKNEE.com and present below a slightly edited ([ ]), abridged (…) and reformatted (some sub-titles and bold/italics emphases) version to provide clarity and brevity to ensure a fast and easy read. The article’s views and conclusions are unaltered and no personal comments have been included to maintain the integrity of the original article. Please note that this paragraph must be included in any article re-posting to avoid copyright infringement.Barisheff went on to say, in part:
Today, I’d like to focus on one important idea: the direct relationship between the rising price of gold and the rising levels of government debt that result in currency debasement. Since we measure investment performance in currencies a clear understanding of the outlook for currencies is critical.
Gold is Money
In order to understand gold’s relationship, it’s important to understand that gold is money. It is not simply an industrial commodity like copper, or zinc. It trades on the currency desks of most major banks—not on their commodities desks. The turnover at the London Bullion Market Association is over $37 billion per day, and volume is estimated at 5-7 times that amount – clearly, this is not jewellery demand.
The world’s central banks know gold is money: after decades of modest sales they have become net buyers since 2009. This trend strengthened in 2010 and gained momentum in 2011. They are buying gold as a counterbalance to their devaluing currencies.
As money, gold has provided the most stable form of wealth preservation for over three thousand years – it still does today. Gold has outperformed all other asset classes since 2002.
Increase in US Federal Debt and Price of Gold Moving in Lockstep
The chart below clearly shows that US federal debt (purple) and the price of gold (gold) are now moving in lockstep. This correlation will likely continue for the foreseeable future. The red line represents the repeatedly violated government debt ceilings.
|Based on official estimates, America’s debt is projected to reach $23 trillion in 2015 and, if the correlation remains the same, the indicated gold price would be $2,600 per ounce. However, if history is any example, it’s a safe bet that government expenditure estimates will be greatly exceeded, and the gold price will therefore be much higher – and it’s not just the US. Most Western economies have also reached unsustainable levels of debt that will be impossible to pay off. It’s worth noting that the US Federal Reserve, unlike the European Central Bank, can create currency without restriction. The US dollar has been the de facto world reserve currency for over half a century; the rest of the world’s currencies are essentially its derivatives. Whether global debt is in euros or Special Drawing Rights issued by the IMF, the Fed, and thus indirectly the US taxpayer, may become the lender of last resort.
4 ways to Reduce Government Debt
There are four possible ways to reduce government debt:
Most politicians will select option four, since few have the political will to choose austerity, cutbacks and full economic accountability over simply creating more and more currency. Almost inevitably, they will choose to postpone the problem and leave it for someone else to deal with in the future.
Last August, the world watched as the US government struggled to come to an agreement on raising the debt ceiling, and was forced to compromise and delegate the final solution to a “super committee”. Its lack of political will earned the country an immediate downgrade from the S&P. Then, the hastily convened “super-committee” failed to reach a solution.
In Europe, matters were even worse. Greece did try to write off half its debt, but Germany and France reminded the Greeks that, if they did, no one would buy their bonds. The British and Irish implemented austerity measures that raised unemployment and reduced GDP, resulting in even higher deficits. The Italians watched their bond yields rise to 7 percent. While the tsunami and related nuclear incident deflected attention from Japan’s financial problems, it is a temporary lull, because Japan has the highest debt to GDP ratio of any of the developed countries.
Governments See Currency Devaluation As the Answer
In order to compensate for slowing growth, governments attempt to devalue their currencies and thus improve export competitiveness. This can lead to a global currency war that author and Wall Street/Washington insider James Rickards discusses in his bestselling new book, Currency Wars. This process is now well underway.
A recent Congressional Budget Office report predicted the US federal government’s publicly held debt would top an unsustainable 101 percent of GDP by 2021. Currently, the official US debt is an astronomical $15 trillion. Yet this is only the current debt. If the US government used the same accrual accounting principles that public companies must use, unfunded liabilities like Social Security and Medicare make the real debt more than $120 trillion. This represents over $1 million per taxpayer. Obviously, this amount is impossible to repay.
It’s interesting to note that in almost every recorded case of hyperinflation, the point where inflation exceeded 50 percent a month was caused by governments trying to compensate for slowing growth through full-throttle currency creation. This is exactly what we are seeing today.
These events gave me the confidence to title my new book $10,000 Gold. The book connects the many trends that will be directly and indirectly responsible for both the rising debt and the rising gold price over the next five years. It will be published this year.
Irreversible Macro Trends to Exacerbate Situation
To make matters worse, the irreversible macro trends I discussed in last year’s Empire Club speech are still very much in place today. These include:
These irreversible trends will:
Governments find themselves between the proverbial rock and a hard place:
This becomes an unstoppable descending spiral.
Purchasing Power of Currencies Relative to Gold Continues Unabated
Loss of purchasing power against gold continued unabated last year. The US dollar and the British pound have lost over 80 percent of their purchasing power against gold over the past decade, and the yen, the euro and the Canadian dollar have lost over 70 percent.
|As we remind our clients this is not a typical bull market. Gold is not rising in value, currencies are losing purchasing power against gold, and therefore gold can rise as high as currencies can fall. Since currencies are falling because of increasing debt, gold can rise as high as government debt can grow.
The Future for Gold
The sovereign wealth funds as well as the more conservative central banks will have little choice but to re-allocate to gold in order to outpace currency depreciation. This is why some central banks, particularly those of China and India, accelerated their gold buying in 2011, for a third year in a row, to nearly 500 tonnes—about one-fifth of annual mine production.While central banks have been net purchasers of gold since 2009, the real game changers will be the pension funds and insurance funds, which at this point hold only 0.3 percent of their vast assets in gold and mining shares. Continuing losses and growing pension deficits will make it mandatory for them to eventually include gold—the one asset class that is negatively correlated to financial assets such as stocks and bonds. When this happens, there will be a massive shift from over $200-trillion of global financial assets to the less than $2 trillion of privately held bullion. In considering where gold will be at the end of 2012, I looked back to my first Empire Club talk of 2005. I said then that it didn’t really matter whether gold closed the year at $400 or $500 an ounce—the trends were in place to ensure it had much further to rise. Seven years later, we can say the same thing. It doesn’t matter whether gold ends 2012 at $2,000 or $2,500, because gold’s final destination will make today’s price seem insignificant.These can be frightening times, but gold always offers hope. We may not be able to heal the global economic problems of government debt, but individuals can protect and even increase their wealth through gold ownership. Gold bullion ownership, not mining shares, ETFs or other paper proxy forms of ownership, is an insurance policy against accelerating currency debasement. We use the analogy that – In the case of fire, would you rather have a real fire extinguisher or a picture of one?
A number of people have approached me recently and said they wished they had listened five years ago. They feel they have missed the boat, that it’s too late to buy gold. For those who feel that way, let me close with a Chinese proverb I discovered last year:
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

With what is happening in the price of gold these past few weeks/months it is imperative to take a look at the big picture and in doing so it shows that we are still very much in a long-term bull market. Let’s take a look at some charts that clearly outline where we are currently and where we could well be going. Words: 925
Once this present correction in gold has been completed it should [undergo] the largest and strongest wave in the entire gold bull market…to around $4,500 with only two 13% corrections along the way. [Let me explain how I came to that conclusion.] Words: 1900
From questions whether gold is in a bubble to predictions that soaring prices are just around the corner, one thing is clear: a new phase of awareness for gold is upon us. How far might it move before these troubling times are over? [Let’s take a close look at a variety of factors and scenarios before coming to a conclusion.] Words: 5717
I believe that the price of gold will… reach… $3,000, $4,000, and even $5,000 [per troy] ounce…during the course of this long-lasting bull market, a bull market that still has years of life left to it…[although] prices will remain extremely volatile – with big swings both up and down along a rising trend…The future price of gold is a function of past and prospective world economic, demographic, and political developments [and in this article] I review some of these developments and trends – so that you can come to your own “golden” conclusions. Words: 3800
According to my 2000 calculations, if interest rates and inflation stay constant over the next 2 years, we could expect to see (with 95.2% certainty) a parabolic peak price for gold of $4,380 per troy ounce by then! Let me explain what assumptions I made and the methods I undertook to arrive at that number and you can decide just how realistic it is. Words: 740
Since the fundamentals still point to gold’s long-term viability… why [are] investors responding by selling gold…? I was always told not to look a gift horse in the mouth… [so] take advantage of the dip. Words: 962
Daily and monthly gyrations in the price of gold are nothing to fret over…The price will recover and, in time, fetch new highs…Here’s proof. Words: 264
Gold is in a bull market and, [believe it or not,] so are the gold stocks despite their struggle as a group to outperform gold… but [neither] is anywhere close to a bubble, nor the speculative zeal we saw in 2006-2007. Thus, it begs the question” “What lies ahead and when can we expect the initial stages of a bubble?” To figure this out we first need to get an idea of how long the bull market will last and then where we are now based on various indice analyses. [Below I do just that.] Words: 785
140 analysts maintain that gold will eventually reach a parabolic peak price of at least $3,000/ozt. before the bubble bursts of which 100 see gold reaching at least $5,000/ozt., 17 predict a parabolic peak price of as much as $10,000 per troy ounce of which 12 are on record as saying gold could go even higher than that. Take a look here at who is projecting what, by when and why.

In this paper we present a stochastic model for daily average temperature. The model contains seasonality, a low-order autoregressive component and a variance describing the heteroskedastic residuals. The model is estimated on daily average temperature records from Stockholm (Sweden). By comparing the proposed model with the popular model of Campbell and Diebold (2005), we point out some important issues to be addressed when modelling the temperature for application in weather derivatives market.
In recent years there has been a growing interest in modelling the dynamics of surface air temperature with application in pricing weather derivatives. We follow up this stream of research with a critical discussion on model building and estimation, contrasting two stochastic models proposed by Campbell and Diebold, 2005 and Benth and Šaltytė-Benth, 2007. Both models are based on a seasonal autoregressive (AR) process, but with significant differences in structure which influences their applicability in relation to temperature derivatives. The two models are widely used in the field, and are similar to or nest a number of related models, see, for example, Dornier and Querel, 2000, Alaton et al., 2002 and Cao and Wei, 2004 to mention a few. The performance (in terms of forecasting weather indices) of various models for temperature dynamics, including the two considered here, was compared by Oetoma and Stevenson, 2005, Svec and Stevenson, 2007, Papazian and Skiadopoulos, 2010, Zapranis and Alexandridis, 2008 and Schiller et al., forthcoming. Our main goal is to point out the principle differences between the models of Campbell and Diebold, 2005 and Benth and Šaltytė-Benth, 2007. At the Chicago Mercentile Exchange (CME) there is an organized trade in weather futures and options. In particular, the CME offers trade in futures contracts written on temperature indices measured at various locations world wide, providing financial instruments to hedge weather risk exposure. The locations are major cities in the US, Canada, Europe and Asia. The temperature indices measure the daily cumulative average temperature (CAT), the cumulative heating-degree days (HDD) or the cumulative cooling-degree days (CDD). The reference temperature is taken as the average of the daily minimum and maximum temperature, which we further refer to as temperature. More specifically, if we denote the temperature on day t by Z(t), then the CAT index over a measurement period [T1, T2] is defined as equation(1) View the MathML sourceCATT1,T2=∑t=T1T2Zt, Turn MathJax on where the measurement period is typically a given month or season. At CME, CAT futures are traded on European cities for measurement periods in warm season. The HDD index measures the demand for heating in the cold period of the year, and is defined as the cumulative amount of average temperatures below a threshold over a measurement period. That is, one aggregates max(c − Z(t), 0), where the threshold c is 65°F or 18 °C. The CDD index analogously aggregates max(Z(t) − c, 0) and measures the demand for air-conditioning cooling. The CDD and HDD futures are traded for US cities. The temperature futures contracts are financially settled proportionally to the underlying index at the end of the measurement period. To assess the risk in trading such contracts and to be able to settle reasonable futures prices, one needs precise models for the temperature dynamics. A model should incorporate such properties as possible trend due to global warming and/or urbanisation, seasonal component describing periodic temperature variations related to cold and warm seasons, AR properties for temperature changes, and seasonal variations in residuals. In this study, we follow up the analysis from papers Benth and Šaltytė-Benth, 2007, Benth et al., 2007 and Šaltytė et al., 2007, and contrast it to the approach of Campbell and Diebold (2005). As observed by Campbell and Diebold (2005) for US temperature data, and later confirmed for Swedish, Norwegian and Lithuanian temperatures (see above-cited papers), there is a clear seasonality in the temperature variations after removing trend, seasonal variations and AR effects from the data. The model for temperature proposed by Benth and Šaltytė Benth contains (linear) trend, seasonal component, low-order AR process and a seasonal variance component describing the remaining heteroskedasticity in temperature residuals. It differs from the model of Campbell and Diebold (2005) first of all in its simplicity. Beside trend and seasonal component, Campbell and Diebold propose to use a high-order AR time series model with seasonal generalized AR conditional heteroskedesticity (GARCH) model for the residuals. We are able to show that the model by Benth and Šaltytė Benth is sophisticated enough to explain the basic stylized facts of temperatures just as well as the parameter-intensive alternative proposed by Campbell and Diebold (2005). The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, we critically review the process of modelling the temperatures. In this paper we promote a stepwise procedure used in Benth and Šaltytė-Benth (2007), Benth et al. (2007) and Šaltytė et al. (2007), where one models and estimates each component step-by-step. This turns out to be advantageous in order to build a confident model explaining the various stylized facts of temperature. In particular, such an approach leads to a very low-order AR structure in the temperature dynamics, in contrast to the approach of Campbell and Diebold (2005) suggesting to use an AR model with 25 lags. We argue that one can model temperature dynamics equally good using AR(3) and show that a simpler model explains the temperature evolution very well. A bigger empirical analysis also shows that the model by Benth and Šaltytė Benth explains extremely good the historical index values of CAT, HDD and CDD. As a second contribution, we discuss the major role played by the mean of temperature in the context of weather derivatives. The main factor explaining the indices CAT, HDD and CDD turns out to be the seasonal mean temperature, as we demonstrate later on. This is not surprising, taking into consideration the relatively strong mean reversion of temperatures along with indices averaging temperatures over intervals like months. In the model proposed by Benth and Šaltytė Benth, the seasonal mean is modelled explicitly, and is directly estimated fromtemperature observations. In this way one obtains a confident model for the seasonality of temperature. Campbell and Diebold (2005) choose to model it indirectly, estimated together with all the other parameters in the model. In the model by Benth and Šaltytė Benth, one regresses the deseasonalized temperatures on deseasonalized temperatures, that is, the AR structure is modelled after removing the seasonal mean. Campbell and Diebold (2005) choose to regress today's deseasonalized temperature on the temperature in previous days. Their seasonal function will then not be the seasonal mean, but merely a seasonal component. We demonstrate how one can compute the seasonal mean from the model of Campbell and Diebold, involving the AR parameters and thus leading to potentially increased uncertainty in parameter estimates. The third contribution of the paper is a multiplicative seasonal stochastic volatility model. Instead of using an additive GARCH process in modelling the seasonal heteroskedastic residuals as Campbell and Diebold (2005) do, we suggest using a product between a seasonal deterministic function and a classical GARCH process instead. With a multiplicative structure one avoids potential problems related to the positivity of variance. Moreover, no new estimation procedure is required to estimate the GARCH component, leading to a model which is simpler to fit and therefore more practically applicable. The paper is organized as follows. First, we state the model for the daily temperature variations and discuss in detail the different components of it. Then we describe the data and estimate the model. Next, we validate the proposed model on out-of-sample data and apply it for forecasting different temperature indices. We end our paper by discussing continuous-time models and weather derivatives pricing. | <urn:uuid:87b80f7c-d4af-46f3-bb28-6059e8125227> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://isiarticles.com/article/17908 | 2018-11-16T17:48:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743110.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116173611-20181116195611-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.861645 | 2,206 | [

NEW NST R&D: Ford Merkur XR4Ti 2.3 Turbo Pulley Kit
Merkur, German for mercury, was an automobile brand which was briefly marketed by Ford Motor Company in the United States and Canada from 1985 to 1989. The brand offered two European inspired cars, with the Merkur XR4Ti powered by a 2.3 turbo powerplant.
An avid racer from CARTCT and a member of The Merkur Club of America, Ray (demonfire), contacted us and asked for some help with his pulley setup. Ray was unhappy with his V-Belt pulley setup and mentioned that he and some of his fellow board members on The Merkur Club were interested in a serpentine pulley setup. We got to work, and have a prototype kit ready for testing. As upposed to the heavy OEM steel pulleys, the NST pulleys are CNC machined using lightweight aluminum which is then hard anodized for extra durability. The NST kit will underdrive the accessories by about 20%, while shaving 70% weight from the rotating assembly. The end result is better HP and TQ delivery, better throttle response, and better fuel economy.
Ray plans to run and test the NST kit on his 85 XR4Ti during the 2010 season…
No modifications required, complete bolt-on kit. Those of you who may be interested are encouraged to contact us through our website or by phone. Anyone needing a custom set of pulleys for a special project is also welcome to contact us, as we have the ability and expertise to offer custom pulleys for all applications.
Available by special order. $499.00 a set.
Monday through Friday … 281-917-0221.
Good luck and have fun with all your projects!

Stocks raced sharply downward on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling by nearly 1,600, around 6 percent, before recovering to end with a decline of 1,179 points.
All the major indexes were down significantly. The S&P 500 fell by around 4 percent, the Nasdaq Composite fell by around 3.8 percent, and the broad Russell 2000 fell by around 2.9 percent.
Monday’s sell-off was not only deep but widespread, with all 11 sectors in the S&P 500 index posting declines. Financials, health-care, and energy sectors saw the steepest declines.
The declines erased the gains in the S&P and the Dow for the year. The S&P has lost more than $1 trillion in market capitalization, according to CNBC.
After a bumpy morning, the sell-off took on steam in the afternoon. The Dow shed hundreds of points when the sell-off accelerated beginning around 2 P.M. In the final hour of trading, stocks recovered nearly half of their value only to resume falling once again.
The Vix, which is a volatility index and often referred to as a “fear gauge,” rose 88 percent, its biggest one day gain ever. | <urn:uuid:5496cef8-d8dd-4288-a4b5-c45a1da5b682> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2018/02/05/dow-plunges-1100-points/ | 2018-11-16T18:19:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743110.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116173611-20181116195611-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.963422 | 259 | [

Editor's note: The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research.
Can enormous heat deep in the earth be harnessed to provide energy for us on the surface? A promising report from a geothermal borehole project that accidentally struck magma – the same fiery, molten rock that spews from volcanoes – suggests it could.
The Icelandic Deep Drilling Project, IDDP, has been drilling shafts up to 5km deep in an attempt to harness the heat in the volcanic bedrock far below the surface of Iceland.
But in 2009 their borehole at Krafla, northeast Iceland, reached only 2,100m deep before unexpectedly striking a pocket of magma intruding into the Earth’s upper crust from below, at searing temperatures of 900-1000°C.
This borehole, IDDP-1, was the first in a series of wells drilled by the IDDP in Iceland looking for usable geothermal resources. The special report in this month’s Geothermics journal details the engineering feats and scientific results that came from the decision not to the plug the hole with concrete, as in a previous case in Hawaii in 2007, but instead attempt to harness the incredible geothermal heat.
Wilfred Elders, professor emeritus of geology at the University of California, Riverside, co-authored three of the research papers in the Geothermics special issue with Icelandic colleagues.
“Drilling into magma is a very rare occurrence, and this is only the second known instance anywhere in the world,“ Elders said. The IDDP and Iceland’s National Power Company, which operates the Krafla geothermal power plant nearby, decided to make a substantial investment to investigate the hole further.
This meant cementing a steel casing into the well, leaving a perforated section at the bottom closest to the magma. Heat was allowed to slowly build in the borehole, and eventually superheated steam flowed up through the well for the next two years.
Elders said that the success of the drilling was “amazing, to say the least”, adding: “This could lead to a revolution in the energy efficiency of high-temperature geothermal projects in the future.”
The well funnelled superheated, high-pressure steam for months at temperatures of over 450°C – a world record. In comparison, geothermal resources in the UK rarely reach higher than around 60-80°C.
The magma-heated steam was measured to be capable of generating 36MW of electrical power. While relatively modest compared to a typical 660MW coal-fired power station, this is considerably more than the 1-3MW of an average wind turbine, and more than half of the Krafla plant’s current 60MW output.
Most importantly it demonstrated that it could be done. “Essentially, IDDP-1 is the world’s first magma-enhanced geothermal system, the first to supply heat directly from molten magma,” Elders said. The borehole was being set up to deliver steam directly into the Krafla power plant when a valve failed which required the borehole to be stoppered. Elders added that although the borehole had to plugged, the aim is to repair it or drill another well nearby.
Gillian Foulger, professor of geophysics at Durham University, worked at the Kravla site in the 1980s during a period of volcanic activity. “A well at this depth can’t have been expected to hit magma, but at the same time it can’t have been that surprising,” she said. “At one point when I was there we had magma gushing out of one of the boreholes,” she recalled.
Volcanic regions such as Iceland are not active most of the time, but can suddenly be activated by movement in the earth tens of kilometers below that fill chambers above with magma. “They can become very dynamic, raised in pressure, and even force magma to the surface. But if it’s not activated, then there’s no reason to expect a violent eruption, even if you drill into it,” she said.
“Having said that, with only one experimental account to go on, it wouldn’t be a good idea to drill like this in a volcanic region anywhere near a city,” she added.
The team, she said, deserved credit for using the opportunity to do research. “Most people faced with tapping into a magma chamber would pack their bags and leave,” she said. “But when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade.”
In Iceland, around 90% of homes are heated from geothermal sources. According to the International Geothermal Association, 10,700MW of geothermal electricity was generated worldwide in 2010. Typically, these enhanced or engineered geothermal systems are created by pumping cold water into hot, dry rocks at depths of between 4-5km. The heated water is pumped up again as hot water or steam from production wells. The trend in recent decades has been steady growth in geothermal power, with Iceland, the Philippines and El Salvador leading the way, producing between 25-30% of their power from geothermal sources. Considerable effort invested in elsewhere including Europe, Australia, the US, and Japan, has typically had uneven results, and the cost is high.
With the deeper boreholes, the IDDP are looking for a further prize: supercritical water; at high temperature and under high pressure deep underground, the water enters a supercritical state, when it is neither gas nor liquid. In this state it carries far more energy and, harnessed correctly, this can increase the power output above ground tenfold, from 5MW to 50MW.
Elders said: “While the experiment at Krafla suffered various setbacks that pushed personnel and equipment to their limits, the process itself was very instructive. As well as the published scientific articles we’ve prepared comprehensive reports on the practical lessons learned.“ The Icelandic National Power Company will put these towards improving their next drilling operations.
The IDDP is a collaboration of three energy companies, HS Energy Ltd, National Power Company and Reykjavik Energy, and the National Energy Authority of Iceland, with a consortium of international scientists led by Elders. The next IDDP-2 borehole will be sunk in southwest Iceland at Reykjanes later this year. | <urn:uuid:4479ca54-b9dc-4494-b1b1-5387f3986593> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/icelandic-drilling-project-opens-door-to-volcano-powered-electricity/ | 2018-11-16T18:56:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743110.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116173611-20181116195611-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.957502 | 1,365 | [

Patients' experiences of disruptions associated with post-stroke dysarthria
Dickson, S., Barbour, R. S, Brady, M., Clark, A. M & Paton, G. (2008). Patients' experiences of disruptions associated with post-stroke dysarthria. International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders,43(2), 135-153. United Kingdom: John Wiley & Sons. Retrieved from https://doi.org/10.1080/13682820701862228
Background: Post-stroke dysarthria rehabilitation should consider social participation for people with dysarthria, but before this approach can be adopted, an understanding of the psychosocial impact of dysarthria is required. Despite the prevalence of dysarthria as a result of stroke, there is a paucity of research into this communication disorder, particularly studies that address the experiences of individuals. The available literature focuses mainly on the perceptions of others or includes groups of mixed aetiologies. Aims: To investigate the beliefs and experiences of people with dysarthria as a result of stroke in relation to their speech disorder, and to explore the perceived physical, personal and psychosocial impacts of living with dysarthria. Methods & Procedures: Participants for this qualitative study were recruited from twelve hospitals in Scotland that served both rural and urban populations and afforded opportunity for comparison. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were carried out over a 12-month period with 24 individuals with varying severity of dysarthria following stroke. The interviews were orthographically transcribed and coded using the NVivo package, which also facilitated identification of patterns using the constant comparative method. Outcomes & Results: The results of the study indicate that the effects of dysarthria following stroke extend beyond the physiological characteristics of the impairment. In turn, the resulting communication difficulties lead to changes in self-identity, relationships, social and emotional disruptions, and feelings of stigmatization or perceived stigmatization. The impact of dysarthria was found to be disproportionate to the physiological severity, with participants continually striving to get their speech back to ‘normal’. Conclusions & Implications: The findings provide insight into the psychosocial impact of dysarthria following stroke. Speech and language therapy interventions need to go beyond the speech impairment to address and promote psychosocial well being, reduce the likelihood of feelings of stigmatization and changes in self-identity, irrespective of the severity of dysarthria.

We are very sad to reportthe sudden passing of Steve Anderson, one of the most respected, talented and accomplished design leaders in the Southern California automotive design community.Earlier this month, he passed away suddenly from heart failure while and his wife Kerry were returning on a ferry after a hike on Santa Cruz Island on their 27th wedding anniversary. Steve was just 51 years old.
After his graduation from Art Center College of Design in 1991, Steve had a rich and varied career, from his first internships at Izusu and Calty to his most recent position as Manager of Operations and Design Strategy at the Audi Design Studio in Los Angeles. According to Gael Buzyn, Director of Design at Audi, “Steve had a most elegant way to deal with any challenging situation. He was a humanitarian with an amazing attitude and no ego or arrogance. I feel that I have lost my big brother.”
Steve’s first and significant design achievement was as a young designer at Volkswagen Simi CA, working on the Volkswagen Concept One Showcar that was introduced at the 1994 Detroit Auto Show. On this project, Steve worked with Jay Mays, Franz von Holtzhausen, Derek Jenkins, Freeman Thomas, and many other talented pioneers in the Southern California design community.
Verena Kloos, the Director Design for the studio at that time commented, “I will always remember him as a loyal and responsible person. He was the first designer I hired from Art Center.” Steve later went on to finalize the production design version of the New Beetle in Germany.
Steve moved to Nissan Design America in 1998 and made significant production contributions to the 350z and the Titan exteriors.
In 2000, Steve was enticed to move to the GM Advanced Design Studio in Burbank CA, where he made the majority of his design contributions as the Assistant Director of Design, providing Strategic Research and Design management of up to 60 people at a time, on projects such as the 2010 GM E-NV Show Vehicle, 2008 Jay Leno/EcoJet Showcar, 2007 Hummer O2 Concept, 2006 GMC PAD Concept, 2004 SoCal Belly Tanker Showcar, ZH2 Concept and more.
Frank Saucedo, Director of Advanced Design for General Motors commented, “I cannot say enough about what a great guy he was. At work, he always treated colleagues and staff with a very compassionate and fair approach. Steve was the total package he was a strategic and amazing designer and had great business sense. And beyond design, he was an amazing ‘family guy’ both at home and his family at 5350. I was so shocked at the news…”
Steve was well known for his passion about multiple brands and types of cars, not only about design, but also the technical features, model years, and production histories. As an enthusiast and entrepreneur, Steve spent many evenings at home illustrating, producing and marketing a series of photorealistic automotive illustrations that occasionally graced the covers of classic car books, and other publications such as Excellence, Cavallino and 000 magazines. (Steve’s illustrations dedicated to the history of Porsche and Ferrari models can be found at www.saillustrations.com).
Freeman Thomas, who worked with Steve on the Concept One at VW, stated, “Steve was highly disciplined, and really good at compartmentalizing his work and his home activities: He gave 100% to his work and 100% to his home.”
Steve is survived by his college sweetheart and wife Kerry and their five children. | <urn:uuid:f31c65c1-7fdd-479c-a655-286590c85f06> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://cardesignnews.com/articles/news/2018/05/remembering-steve-anderson | 2018-11-19T05:19:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745281.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119043725-20181119065725-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.977754 | 735 | [

Scientists have found what they say is the first direct evidence of cannibalism among prehistoric Indians in the American Southwest, belying the image of these people as steadfastly peaceful farmers.
The finding may well reignite a long-smoldering controversy over whether ancestral Indians ever made it a practice to eat human flesh, a conclusion deeply resented by their descendants.
The latest evidence sprang from the site of an ancient Anasazi settlement near Mesa Verde in southwestern Colorado, where archaeologists came upon butchered human bones and stone cutting tools stained with human blood. A ceramic cooking pot held residues of human tissues. But the most telling of the evidence was found in human feces: biochemical tests revealed clear traces of digested human muscle protein in the dried coprolite, or fossilized prehistoric feces.
''Analysis of the coprolite and associated remains at last provides definitive evidence for sporadic cannibalism in the Southwest,'' Dr. Brian R. Billman, an archaeologist at the University of North Carolina, said yesterday in an announcement of the discovery.
The biochemist who conducted the tests, Dr. Richard A. Marlar of the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, said the only way this particular human protein, myoglobin, would be present in the feces was if the person had eaten human flesh. The tests and other research were repeated many times over the last two years.Continue reading the main story
''We felt we had to be absolutely sure on such a sensitive and controversial issue,'' Dr. Marlar said in an interview. ''I have no doubt about this data.''
The research team -- Dr. Marlar, Dr. Billman and colleagues -- described and interpreted the findings in a report being published in today's issue of the journal Nature. In an accompanying commentary, Dr. Jared M. Diamond, an anthropologist at the University of California at Los Angeles, called the research ''compelling evidence'' of the practice of cannibalism by some ancestral Indians.
The chief descendants of the Anasazi are the Hopi and Zuni tribes, which have never practiced cannibalism and object to archaeologists' inferences of cannibalism by their prehistoric ancestors.
But Dr. Donald Grayson, an anthropologist at the University of Washington who specializes in prehistoric people in the American West, said in an interview that he was not surprised by the biochemical finding. ''I was already convinced by the evidence of butchering marks and bones from archaeological sites'' elsewhere, he said.
Archaeologists think that cannibalism among people in the American Southwest occurred between A.D. 900 and 1150 but was then fairly rare, probably occurring when the community was faced with starvation. After that, for about 50 years, the evidence suggests, there was an outbreak of what is known among anthropologists as ''customary cannibalism.'' Dr. Diamond described this consumption of human flesh, from either deceased relatives or slain enemies, as a nonemergency practice and not just what a group might resort to in the face of starvation as the Donner party of American pioneers did in the winter of 1846-47.
The new findings are hardly the first indication of cannibalism among the Anasazi. Butchered human bones and other mounting evidence were described by Dr. Christy Turner 2d, an anthropologist at Arizona State University, in his book, ''Man Corn: Cannibalism and Violence in the Prehistoric American Southwest.'' Dr. Turner is on an expedition to Siberia and could not be reached for comment on the new findings.
But the evidence is still disputed by some anthropologists and especially by modern American Indians. Archaeologists who previously reported suspected cannibalism said they were sometimes accused of contributing to racism and genocide; some early European colonists used stories of Indian cannibalism as justification for their conquests of the land.
The debate, now decades old, intensified in 1979 when Dr. William Arens, an anthropologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, argued in an influential book, ''The Man-Eating Myth,'' that there had been no reliable firsthand accounts of cannibalism. So he doubted the very existence of the practice, except perhaps in circumstances of near-starvation.
Efforts to reach Dr. Arens for comment yesterday were unsuccessful. But in a 1998 article in The New Yorker, he was quoted as having apparently changed his mind. Asked about Dr. Turner's research, Dr. Arens said cannibalism was a ''possible interpretation, even a good interpretation.''
But all previous evidence of occasional Indian cannibalism, though increasingly persuasive, was still circumstantial. The discovery of the human feces, in an ancient dwelling in Colorado, opened the way to gathering direct evidence through biochemical analysis.
The prehistoric feces were found as a result of a preservation effort by the Ute tribe. When archaeological sites in the foothills of Sleeping Ute Mountain were about to be destroyed by newly irrigated agricultural fields, the Utes called in Soil Systems Inc., an archaeological excavation company in Phoenix. Dr. Billman, who worked for the company then, led the investigation of a community of 70 to 125 people that existed there between A.D. 1130 and 1150.
It was a time of severe drought, one of the worst in the American West in the last 2,000 years, and this provoked conflicts between farmers who had settled there and intruders from surrounding areas.
''We believe the entire community was extinguished in a single episode of violence and terroristic cannibalism during a period of social chaos brought on by the drought,'' Dr. Billman said.
The raiders responsible for the killing may have considered the local farmers themselves to be intruders on withered farming land who had to be driven away. After killing, cooking and eating seven people in that one dwelling, one of the raiders squatted over the cold ashes of the hearth and defecated, a parting sign of contempt.
When Dr. Billman gave that account at an archaeological meeting, Dr. Marlar, an amateur archaeologist as well as a biochemist, offered to try to develop a technique for testing the feces for any traces of human tissues. Biochemical assay techniques had been used before to identify animal meat residues in cooking pots at archaeological sites. And the presence of the human myoglobin, the headline on Nature's commentary said, was ''Incontrovertible Evidence of Cannibalism.''Continue reading the main story | <urn:uuid:87517536-948f-42b5-bd69-85c6e2fc38d1> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.nytimes.com/2000/09/07/us/new-data-suggests-some-cannibalism-by-ancient-indians.html | 2018-11-19T06:00:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745281.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119043725-20181119065725-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.96691 | 1,311 | [

Now that it’s 2016, employers are a little more open and understanding when it comes to new ways to create an efficient workplace environment. Flexible hours. Better Vacation policies. Working from home even. It probably sounds too good to be true, there’s a new trend and employers are allowing it- sometimes even encouraging – employees to consume cannabis while still on the clock?
Getting blazed at work has apparently been a favored pastime for a long time running in Silicon Valley – and some of the most elite and highest-performing executives in the world have said it seems to be working just fine. Here’s why businesses in legal (and states considering legalization) areas might want to consider a you-only-live-once approach.
- Promotes productivity – to a certain degree
Chronic weed smoker and Descartes Labs CEO, Mark Johnson, told Bloomberg that most progress-thinking tech employers “just don’t care.” Says Johnson, “if you do, you don’t need to hide it; and if you don’t, you accept that there are people around you that do.” Of course, not just anyone can pull a 15-hour day after a wake ‘n’ bake: in order to make more of a free enterprise kind of approach to workplace weed feasible, you need trustworthy employees that you know won’t go overboard.
- Sparks outside-the-box thinking
Who’s had a really great idea and also happened to be super stoned? Most of us have and sometimes the ideas actually turn out to be pretty good, even once the haze has lifted. Kyle Sherman of Flowhub, a cannabis industry software firm, spoke with CNN Money, “if it helps our employees get work done, then we don’t care if they consume at work […] It definitely surfaces new ideas and a fresh take on things.” It’s pretty well known that for some smokers cannabis can actually make that light bulb in your head shine a little brighter. It can help fire up inspiration, and companies in divisions that involve tons of creativity seem to benefit from relaxing their attitude.
- Can make vibes more chill
If weed’s a regular part of a your everyday life, it’s most likely because it makes you feel relaxed, less anxious, and ten times more comfortable with the people you’re surrounded by. While being interviewed by CNN, Isaac Dietrich (founder of MassRoots) mentioned that he arranges and schedules weekly rooftop smoke sessions in order to facilitate strategic planning and employee team-building.
4. Empowers and encourages employees
If your employee are happy, act like they actually want to be there, and are consistently getting stuff done, why be insistent on how they do it? If you’re lucky enough to have a staff full of vibrant, skillful, creative employees, there’s no doubt they will be more grateful when their employer respects their work styles and trusts them to make good decisions. Draconian drug policies – on the exception that they are necessary to keep people safe (say, when operating heavy equipment or looking after children) drive away great people. Permitting responsible cannabis use gives employees more freedom and legroom to make decisions when it’s appropriate to do it.
5. Takes it into the mainstream
Folks in the cannabis industry: this is your big chance. If you believe that cannabis use is part of a healthy, productive lifestyle, why not put your money where your mouth is terms of your company policy? But regardless of how retrograde you personally believe zero-tolerance policies to be, the final say still rests with the boss, even in legal states. As lawyer Andrew Schpak explains to Oregon Live:”One of biggest things is that employers need to remind employees what their existing policies are around testing and tolerance. Just because you have a right to enjoy marijuana recreationally, that doesn’t change an employer’s policies.”
If you’re lucky, you have a boss that forgoes the enforcement of drug policies altogether. As lawyer Scott Hunt says in the same interview. “There are certain type [of] work environments that depend on creativity and if they are small enough businesses, and the owners are part of that culture, that wouldn’t surprise me at all. There’s nothing that says an employer can’t look the other way.” | <urn:uuid:377b08d4-be96-4126-902f-e18599e9e758> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://dailyleafdeals.com/should-employees-get-smoke-breaks-while-on-the-clock/ | 2018-11-20T16:43:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746465.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120150950-20181120172950-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.943551 | 928 | [

This class elaborates on the techniques covered in the first class and focuses on transitioning into larger, more detailed pieces. Students will learn new ways to advance their form and add simple accents to their pieces. In this two-day class we will create many solid and blown glass objects such as marbles, paperweights, pendants, perfume bottles and wine glasses. We will also experiment with many forms of glass such as dichroic, frit, scalloped tubing and colored tubing. This workshop concentrates on basic and intermediate skills learned in Introduction 1 but provides challenging, yet rewarding, technical instruction for future development.

Newbury: Altior Makes His Return………
Warwick: Three Races LIVE on ITV…….
Trainers Quotes: Moore Continues In Red-Hot Form
Hi, well that was nice last week! Several nice winners to pay for the weekend expenses, including FULL JACK that went in at 10/1 up at Musselburgh.
We also saw Terrefort (1st 15/8) land the money while it was jockey Daryl Jacob’s fourth win in a row in the contest. Holly Bush Henry (2nd 6/1) and Melrose Boy (3rd 7/1) were decent each-way returns.
We are not going to claim any credit for picking out Buveur D’Air at 1/16, but it was another polished display from the current Champion Hurdle favourite. With his nearest rival in the betting – Faugheen – only managing second in the Irish Champion Hurdle last Saturday, then Henderson’s 7 year-old is now as short as 1/2 to retain his title at the Festival next month.
Sticking with Ireland, it was a cracking few days at the Dublin Racing Festival last weekend and this meeting set to only get bigger and bigger. Some of the guys here at TQ went, and they reported back as saying – it was fantastic and will certainly be going again next year!
Footpad was one of the highlights and is now around 11/10 for the Arkle – he jumped superbly and it looks one of the Festival bankers. Min was another big winner and is now into 3/1 for the Champion Chase, while the horse being dubbed the ‘new machine’ – Samcro – won again and is now as short as 15/8 for the Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle. Plenty to get excited about!
However, for us SUPASUNDAE was the horse to take out of last weekend. He stayed on really well to get the better of Faugheen in the Irish Champion Hurdle over a trip that is his optimum. Connections have said that he’ll be stepped back up to 3m at the Festival and will be aimed at the Stayers’ Hurdle. Don’t forget, he’s already got Festival winning form after landing the Coral Cup 12 months ago and with this division wide-open this year he looks worth a punt now at around 7/2. We think he’ll be a lot shorter in the day! Don’t forget to back him with a ‘non-runner, no’ bet bookie!
Onto This Week – another big weekend in prospect with the LIVE ITV Racing coming from Newbury and Warwick – we’ve seven races to take in across the two venues. At Newbury all eyes will be on the return of Altior as he lines-up in the Betfair Exchange Chase (Game Spirit). He’s currently the 11/8 favourite for the Champion Chase, but we can expect that market to have a lot of activity after this – one-way, or another!
We also see the return of Native River, who bids to win the Denman Chase for a second year in a row – he took this race 12 months ago before running third in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
The Betfair Hurdle – the richest handicap hurdle in Britain – is also on the Newbury card – a race trainer Nicky Henderson will be looking to land for a sixth time and he’s firing several runners at the big prize.
Then up at Warwick, the Grade Two Kingmaker Chase looks an interesting renewal, while Rons Dream will be trying to land the olbg.com Mares’ Hurdle for a second year.
So, bundles to get stuck into and we’ll be hoping to find plenty more winners for you and as always, we’ve got it all covered with free tips and all key trends for the LIVE races. Enjoy!
Have a Great Weekend!
This Week AT Trainers-Quotes………Moore Strikes With 9/2 TQ VIEW Winner…..
With a 28% strike-rate (at the time of writing) the Gary Moore camp certainly have their horses in fine order at the moment and that can only be good news for TQ members. Anything they run over the weekend should not be overlooked!
They rewarded TQ followers again in midweek as their STOICAL PATIENT landed the money at 9/2 at Market Rasen after Gary telling members “what she may now find is it’s the handicapper she’s got to beat”. Even better as the horse drifted out from 3/1 to 9/2 moments before the race – meaning even more winnings for us!!
Here’s what Gary members the morning of the race…………………………
“STOICAL PATIENT has won her first three starts for us until crashing out on her last start. STOICAL PATIENT has climbed massively in the weights but was running ok when she fell last time out. So, after a break, I hope she is good enough to take this but what she may now find it’s the handicapper she has to beat.”
1st 9/2 GARY MOORE 6th Feb 2018 (TQ VIEW)
Don’t forget the TQ VIEW daily selection is what the team feel is the ‘best quote’ of the day. With over 5 years’ experience speaking to all the trainers they are in no better place to sort the wheat from the chaff!
Great Scott! While, the Scott Dixon yard have also been rewarding members this week…………..
“Coiste Bodhar – Finished well over 5f last time out, so the step up to 6f will suit. Well at home and looks decent each-way value in my eyes on a surface we know the horse loves.” 1st 8/1 SCOTT DIXON 6th Feb 2018
We also saw several other bits of top info……………..like this 4 star-rated each-way call from Mick Appleby.
“Tha’ir – Won well here last time over course and distance. Has come out of that race well and despite being 3lbs higher here still looks well-handicapped on old form – was rated in the 100’s when with Godolphin. More needed up in grade, but a top draw in 1, plus being a higher grade we actually get in here with 9-1 (carried 9-9 last time). Very competitive, but the horse is very well and we are hoping now he’s found the winning thread he’ll have the confidence to progress again. Decent each-way claims if all 8 stand their ground.” 2nd 12/1 MICK APPLEBY 7th Feb 2018
Yet again more proof that our TQ info that – don’t forget comes direct from the yards each day – is a must-have for any serious punter!
Also, a lot of our members use the TRAINERS-QUOTES info to lay horses as well as back them – there are plenty of angles these days with the betting exchanges!! Or even back other horses in certain races with the trainers also taking about other horses in races they’ve heard good words about!

3/13 – Winning favourites
2/13 – Trained by Nicky Henderson
2/13 – Trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies
2/13 – Raced at Haydock last time out
TQ VERDICT: This has been a kind race to the Nick Henderson yard over the years – with two wins in the last 13 – but, having said that, none of those victories were in the last 9 runnings. At this stage the Seven Barrows camp have entered LOUGH DERG FARMER (e/w) with Nico de Boinville riding. He clearly didn’t take to fences last time out on his chase debut, when jumping all over the place at Ascot. Connections pitch him back over hurdles here and having won 2 of his 4 starts over the smaller obstacles should be more at home here. The yard has also given him 77 days to get over that last run and looks on a fair mark for this handicap hurdles debut. 9 of the last 13 winners were aged 7 or younger, so if this trend is to be upheld then a fair few will be knocked out. We could also see the return of Barters Hill here. This useful hurdler had a lot of shrewd judges saying he’d have a big future but he’s had a few injury setbacks since running fourth in the 2016 Albert Bartlett so it remains to be seen if he’s retained any of his ability. On a plus, he’s still only 8 years-old and is two-from-two at Newbury so clearly likes the track. King Uther is another that shouldn’t be overlooked. This Chris Gordon-trained runner was a good winner was a nice winner at Warwick last time out and despite being raised 9lbs for that, due to the rise in grade still gets in here with only 10-4 to carry and that would make him dangerous. Book of Gold is another with a light-weight, but although he often runs well he’s still to get his head in front (6 starts) and this looks as competitive a race as he’s contested.

6 of the last 11 winners were aged 7 years-old
The average SP in the last 11 runnings is 10/3
Note: 2009 running was staged at Kempton
TQ VERDICT: A small but select field line-up for this year’s renewal of the Denman, but still a fascinating affair in prospect. Cloudy Dream rarely runs a bad race and is yet to finish out of the first two over fences from 10 starts. His second behind Definitly Red at Aintree back in December has been franked with that horse going on to win the Cotswold Chase last month. He will head here fresh after a few months off and would be a popular winner with his former trainer – Malcom Jefferson – sadly passing away earlier this month. Yes, he sets a fair standard, but does seem to have a habit of finding one too good and that’s likely to be the case again here. The Paul Nicholls-trained Saphir Du Rheu was last seen running in the Grand National, but fell at the 11th that day. Prior to that he was a fine fifth in the Cheltenham Gold Cup – beaten just 6 ¼ lengths – so if returning after 308 days anywhere near that form would also make him very dangerous. He’s gone well fresh in the past, but his form figures here at Newbury are not the most inspiring 3-4-UR-5-F and based on that he’s overlooked on his return. The call is for last year’s winner – NATIVE RIVER – to return with a bang. Still only 8 years-old this Colin Tizzard-trained chaser took this 12 months ago and looks set to go well again. He was last seen running third in the Gold Cup, so on that form has an edge on Saphir Du Rheu. The vibes coming out of the Tizzard yard is that he’s fit and ready to run and if another tilt at the Gold Cup is on the cards then he’ll have to run well here. His most-recent form figures at Newbury also read well ……..1-1-1! Cloudy Dream would be the danger for me.

2/13 – Winners that went onto win that season’s Champion Chase
2/13 – Winners that went onto win that season’s Arkle Chase
TQ VERDICT: All eyes here will be on last year’s Arkle Chase winner – ALTIOR– as Nicky Henderson’s 8 years-old makes his belated return to the track. Having been off since landing the Celebration Chase at Sandown back in April racing fans will be keen to see if he returns to that same level of form. He’s also had wind surgery during that time off and if all goes well here then the Champion Chase, where he’s generally around the 11/8 – A decent winning run here and that 11/8 will vanish without trace. He’s rated 170, but actually doesn’t have loads in-hand, with last year’s Champion Chase runner-up, Fox Norton, rated 168 and this season’s Tingle Creek winner – Politologue – on a mark of 165. Fox Norton was trounced 13 lengths by Altior in this race 12 months ago and really if the Henderson star chaser returns to that level it’s hard to see Fox Norton revering that form. Norton is also on a bit of a recovery mission with connections tampering with his trip in recent races and running him in the King George last time. He clearly didn’t stay that 3m distance there, so the return to 2m is a plus, but he’s also got a bit to find with Politologue, based on finishing ½ a length second to him in the Tingle Creek. Yes, many feel he was getting there in the closing stages in that Sandown race so the slightly longer trip and the long Newbury straight will probably suit him more than the Nicholls runner. Of the rest, Valdez makes up the numbers.

20 of the last 21 winners have been aged 7 or younger
The average winning SP in the last 15 runnings is 14.5/1
TQ VERDICT: Trainer Nicky Henderson has won Britain’s richest handicap hurdle five times so is goes without saying anything the Seven Barrows camp run should be noted. At this stage they’ve several entries – including Verdana Blue, Charli Parcs, Lough Derg Spirit and Kayf Grace – all are capable of running well in this on their best form and it’s interesting Henderson is throwing a lot of arrows at this prize. However, their hat-trick seeking Jenkins could be the one punters latch onto again. This 6 year-old had a tall reputation last season, but failed to really see that through, so this was always going to be a big season for the horse. After a few poor runs at the end of last year it looks like he’s finally getting the hang of things with decent wins at Kempton and Ascot recently. The talented James Bowen took over in the saddle last time and his 3lb claim is a big help. He’s up 5lbs for that last win – which seems fair – and being a past course and distance winner he ticks a lot of boxes. However, he does have 11-12 to carry here and ALL of the last 15 winners of this race have had 11-7 or less on their backs! He also looked to have quite a hard slog last time out so it remains to be seen if that’s left its mark. 14 of the last 15 winners were aged 7 or younger too, so this is another key trend to have on your side, while a 5 year-old has won 6 of the last 9 renewals. With that in mind, the 5 year-old KALASHNIKOV (e/w) is sure to be popular and with 11-5 to carry ticks the main weight trend too. He’s lightly-raced with only four career starts and is actually yet to finish out of the first two. Yes, the horse could do with slightly better ground, but should be ok on it. A recent second in the Tolworth Hurdle at Sandown was a solid effort in heavy ground and with 5-6 weeks to get over that should be ready to rumble again. The Gary Moore camp have won 3 of the last 10 runnings so their Knocknanuss shouldn’t be underestimated. Yes, at 8 years-old he falls down by a year on the main age stat, but it’s worth noting he’s very lightly-raced for a horse of that age (just 6 career runs). He heads here off the back of an easy 8 length Fontwell win, but is 11lbs higher this time – one for the shortlist. 6 year-olds Lalor and Spiritofthegames are others that catch the eye, as do Silver Streak and the talented mare Irish Roe. The last-named ran the classy Maria’s Benefit close last time at Doncaster and that could turn out to be decent form. Willie Mullins sends Bleu Et Rouge over too and with Barry Geraghty pick to ride this one over the other JP McManus-owned runners in the field – Charli Parcs and Project Bluebook – then it’s hard to ignore this 7 year-old either. Finally, I also feel that the Nicholls-trained DIVIN BERE (e/w) looks too big a price. Okay, this 5 year-old ran a stinker last time out at Ascot, but it was his first run back for 8 ½ months! Sam Twiston-Davies takes over in the saddle, but let’s not forget this horse was a close second in the Fred Winter at the Festival last March, while he ran an in-form Defi Du Seuil close at Aintree soon after. Better ground would have been more ideal too, but I still think he’ll run better than last time. He’s been placed in the first two in 6 of his 7 hurdles starts, and despite there being a few ‘big ifs’ it might be dangerous to totally ignore him after just one bad run. Paul Nicholls also took this in 2012 with Zarkandar.

The average winning SP in the last 4 runnings is 3/1
Trainer Willie Mullins has won 2 of the last 4 runnings
TQ VERDICT: Willie Mullins has brought runners over in recent years to take this race, but is giving everyone else a chance this year! Only four previous runnings to go on so the trends also still need time to build-up. MIDNIGHT JAZZ is a past course winner and is certainly going to be popular after her recent second to Poppy Kay, who also holds an entry here. The pair pulled well clear of the rest of the field that day, but with a 4lb pull this time with Poppy Kay we can expect this Ben Case-trained runner to reverse that form – there was only ½ a length between them last time. The Case camp could also run Graceful Legend, who is not without a chance based on a couple of good recent thirds. Alan King’s Midnight Tour sets the standard based on the official racings (146). She’s the highest-rated in the field – being 9lbs higher than her nearest rival. She was only 4 ½ lengths behind the classy La Bague Au Roi two runs back at Kempton, but those against her will cling to the fact she ran a stinker last time out – also at Kempton. She didn’t jump the best that day and also had a conditional jockey riding so does have a few excuses. The yard have given her around 6 weeks to get over that too and based on what we know she can achieve then she’d be foolish to rule out. However, we’ll stick with Midnight Jazz here, who showed a decent attitude last time out. She’s also a proven course winner and after two runs this season should be coming to the boil.

The last 4 winners have been 6 year-olds
Note: 2009 renewal was at Sandown
TQ VERDICT: The Dan Skelton-trained North Hill Harvey sets a decent standard here with a rating of 152. This 7 year-old has won two of his three chase starts, but does need to bounce back from being well beaten last time at Sandown behind Sceau Royal. On a plus, the softer ground will suit and he did have a busy time of it at the end of 2017. Connections have freshened him up with 2 months off and having gone well off a break in the past then he’s a big player here. Drumcliff heads here on a three-timer after wins at Wincanton and Ascot so shouldn’t be underestimated. This is another step up though, but is certainly a horse in rude health at the moment. Diego Du Charmil hails from the powerful Paul Nicholls yard and should run his race. He won well two starts ago to win at Newton Abbot, but would need a bit more based on his 17 length third behind Shantou Rock last time out. However, the horse that seems to have most in his favour is the Harry Whittingham-trained SAINT CALVADOS. This 5 year-old went into many a notebook after easy chase wins at Newbury and remains unbeaten over fences. He beat Tree Of Liberty by an easy 10 lengths last time and jumped really well that day too. He’s rated 154, but being a 5 year-old gets 7lbs from North Hill Harvey (rated 152), so looks to have a bit in-hand. There could also be more to come based on his age, while any further ease in the ground wouldn’t be an issue.

Templehills (9/1) won the race in 2017
The average winning SP in the last 8 runnings is 5/1
TQ VERDICT: The Gary Moore team have their horses in fine fettle and also boast a decent 28% strike-rate with their runners at Warwick. Therefore, their Casse Tete can’t be discounted. This 6 year-old has only had two runs this season and should be a lot better for a recent 7th (of 14) at Cheltenham behind Froden in a competitive Grade Three. He’s down 4lbs for that and with only 10-8 to carry does have a dangerous-looking weight – certainly one for the shortlist. Thomas Crapper returns after 297 days off, but is also 6lbs higher than his last win. You feel this is also a stepping stone for another tilt at a Festival race – don’t forget, he was a decent fourth in the Brown Advisory Chase last season. Kylemore Lough is another to note and will find this a lot easier than when running third in the Clarence House Chase last time. His mark of 151 looks dangerous too and is also a proven course winner. The only negative would be that he’s not won now for almost 2 years. Dan Skelton’s Value At Risk, who won well at Doncaster last time out is another big player. That win was over hurdles and off a mark of 140, so his chase rating of 132 looks very lenient. He’s only won once from 6 starts over fences – and been unplaced in the rest of those, so the jury would still be out as to whether he’s a better hurdler, than a chaser – we’ll see! So, the safer call here might be to side with a proven winner of the race – TEMPLEHILLS (e/w). This 7 year-old took this prize by 7 lengths 12 months ago and off a mark just 5lbs higher then he looks to have a great chance of going close again. He likes to race up with the pace so is expected to shorten in-running, while he made all to win this pot last year – hopefully it will be more of the same here. The Nigel Twiston-Davies team are also showing signs of a return to form, after a quiet spell, while jockey Dave Crosse, who has ridden this horse in his last four races – including in this race last year – continues in the saddle. Of those at a bigger price the Venetia Williams-trained Pressurize can go well. This drop back in grade will suit and the horse actually beat the selection at Chepstow two starts back.
THAT’S YOUR LOT!!!

I am the youngest in the audience by at least 30 years. This is Daytime Music & Theatre and most of those attending are seniors, but, that’s okay, the arts can be enjoyed at any age. Besides which, l have to be at work by 1pm so it’s the 10.30am session l’m seeing.
These are professional performers and the show will tour other theatres. That doesn’t mean though, that the tickets are expensive. I paid $17.00 for my ticket and what did l get for my $17.00.
There was a paired back stage with the skull and crossbones situated proudly centre stage. There was a piano, some seats and what was meant to look like a rock and that was it. The cast of 6 performed all the roles with only the piano as accompaniment, apart from a very brief section with acoustic guitar. What brilliant voices; Philip Gould as the Pirate King was so good as was Brian Hannan as the Major General. These two have years of experience and it showed. All the performers were good as was the pianist.
So l heard the songs from the Pirates of Penzance, one from Les Miserables, one from The Mikado and a little bit of Abba, along with songs about Donald Trump, Kim Jong-un and dual citizen politicians(my Australian readers will know all about them). You may be wondering what all that has to do with the Pirates of Penzance and, well, it was a bit of a mish mash played to the audience with great fun and was enjoyed by all. It finished in time for me to have lunch and then get to work on time with a smile on my face.
Don’t just dismiss Daytime shows. Yes, the crowd may be older but there are some good shows to see and they usually are cheaper tickets to buy. They have two performances, 10.30am and 1.30pm and you can even have lunch at the theatre. I don’t go to the latest hot thing or worry about what others think. I pick shows that l will like and pick performance times that suit me.
And, the savings l made on this ticket were spent on the show l saw on Saturday, more about that one on Wednesday.
** What’s On is now moving to Friday and l will be posting 3 posts per week now. | <urn:uuid:17a718c8-29a5-495f-9367-d142943fbe0a> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://lovingtheartsonabudget.com/2018/03/12/pirates-of-penzance/ | 2018-11-21T19:45:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039750800.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121193727-20181121215727-00241.warc.gz | en | 0.985441 | 498 | [

In a couple of months, we will be welcoming our third boy child into the world. The thought of this glorious event is sometimes enough to make me want to run screaming into the night.
Don’t get me wrong; I love the idea of having a third son to share all the love and lumps with. If I can teach my growing brood to annoy, charge, and tackle each other, they will have less time to do those things to me. Plus, in those moments when their demons are sleeping and their testosterone is quieted to a slow simmer, there will be one more example of fleeting sweetness to enjoy for 3-5 minutes fortnightly.
The part that tempts me to share my terror with the neighbors at 2 a.m. has to do with practical matters. Will he eat the groceries we’ve clipped coupons for? Will I ever be alone with my wife again? Did I just push back my retirement until NEVER? Will our Golden Years be constructed of tin and duct tape?
Before getting caught up in these long-term worries, I guess we should tackle the more pressing issues, like deciding upon a name for Baby Number Three that is shorter and more endearing than Baby Number Three.
The first time my wife and I ever put our heads together to think up a baby name, it went swimmingly. We amicably agreed upon the perfect name . . . for a girl. We’ve held onto that name, and the memory of that peaceably-reached agreement, through nearly three boys. The names of the first two were bitter struggles.
Neither of us is above compromise though, which is why our first two sons have names at all. Somehow, we found two boys’ names with which we both can live. I am not certain there are more than two boys’ names with which we both can live. This is why we have not yet bothered to discuss naming the impending child.
We have no desire to enter into that fray again, so we avoid it. This will continue to be a good strategy until that moment when a hospital administrator approaches my wife’s bedside with a clipboard in hand and a gaping blank on her page. Then, the wheeling and dealing will be fast and furious and the result may not be worth the already-spent nine months of peace.
Fellow Blogger, Don, from Don of All Trades, has hinted that we should name this child after him. While I agree that Don is the perfect name for those already named it, I hesitate to add another one to the population. Don of All Trades has a catchy ring to it, but there’s hardly room for a middle name, and the kids might shorten it to DOAT, which has an awkward sound to it.
Perhaps we should auction off the naming rights. The proceeds might alleviate some of my other fears and it avoids the fight that’s brewing. Any bidders? | <urn:uuid:fccfad0f-60fc-4ba2-9185-79f1bfa8a15e> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://snoozingonthesofa.com/2014/02/04/you-want-to-name-him-what/ | 2018-11-21T19:41:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039750800.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121193727-20181121215727-00241.warc.gz | en | 0.961055 | 608 | [

John McDermott – Journeys
We recently had the pleasure of attending several holiday-seasoned concerts in the Southern Ontario region, and chatted a little with some of the headliners. What we learned might surprise you, and will surely delight you.
John McDermott is a five-time Juno nominee, and a multiple platinum-record selling Canadian artist of Irish and Scottish heritage. He and his stellar band are currently touring Canada and the US in support of the new CD, Journeys. David Newland speaks with him from River Run Centre in Guelph about his remarkable career, his support of war veterans and related causes, his new CD, Peter Gzowski, and life as an indy artist! | <urn:uuid:b1492a5e-9f14-479c-a65a-7cf5b0542d68> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.rootsmusic.ca/2009/12/06/video-john-mcdermott-journeys/ | 2018-11-21T20:17:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039750800.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121193727-20181121215727-00241.warc.gz | en | 0.977612 | 147 | [

30 Jun Morel Mushrooms
Wild edibles are a pleasure to discover, when identified correctly. The feeling of ecstasy can easily misguide the senses into confusing incorrect ranges for the real thing. Fiddleheads and morel mushrooms are 2 types which contain edible and inedible equivalents that is distinguishable with a little knowledge.
Morel mania. Swept away by the giddiness of discovering the evasive types, I quickly fill my basket up until it is overflowing with hundreds of morels – a record discover! Verpa bohemica, incorrect morel.
Prepared to kick the smiling ferryboats, I question how I puzzled the two species. Research exposes an easy mistake. Although Verpa bohemica and Morchella elata look identical from the outdoors, the stem and cap attachment specifies the truth. Real morels are hollow from stem to cap, while incorrect morels are attached like a thimble. The stem of incorrect morels has fairy floss like fluff on the inside. It’s that easy unless the mushroom haze clouds your brain.
Harvest the correctly determined Morchella by cutting the stem simply above the ground. Be mindful to leave a great quantity behind so spores can increase in the following years. Clean the mushroom by gently washing and brushing; do not let too much water be absorbed into the flesh.
The entire mushroom is edible; so do not be reluctant to cook up the entire thing. Large sufficient caps can be packed with meat, cheese, and seasonings, while smaller ones can be sliced in delicate rings and seasoned with oil, lemon, and spices. Dishes are endless, simply be creative and cook completely!
The edible varieties can be differentiated from their carcinogen containing cozs, the Braken Fern, by analyzing the stems. The tips of the Bracken Fern have eagle-like talons, while edible varieties are rigidly coiled in one singular stem.
Harvest just little, firm, and tightly coiled samplings by snipping the stem about an inch under the coil. The University of Maine’s Extension Agriculture program provides a video on sustainable harvesting guidelines.
Put the cut pieces in cold water and rub off the papery exterior, exposing the intense green under layer. When cleaned, fiddleheads should be cooked right away or saved in the refrigerator for no more than 1 day. Just like a lot of wild edibles, never eat them raw. The snappy vegetable can be steamed, boiled, sauteed, battered and fried, or grilled. Whichever method you cook fiddlehead, you will certainly be thrilled with its clean nutty asparagus taste. Devoted to the love of this particular species, Fiddle-heads. com contains a wide variety of links to dishes.
Errors provide good lessons too, unless the result is death (that is an Into the Wild reference, not sheer morbidity). Forage far, and forage broad. | <urn:uuid:84718641-4cb7-434f-a1b6-cb067cb580d8> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://caviarlover.com/blog/morel-mushrooms/ | 2019-11-11T22:15:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496664439.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20191111214811-20191112002811-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.908551 | 607 | [

This 9 June 2018 video from the USA says about itself:
Politicians in Germany are wanting to remove Donald Trump’s ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, after he publicly came out and said that part of his job was to promote the conservative party in Germany. Not only are ambassadors not allowed to get involved in politics in the countries that they are sent to, but this is not Grenell’s first time meddling in the business of Germans, and now they want him gone. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.
Translated from Dutch NOS TV today:
The American ambassador in Germany also warns about sanctions against companies that cooperate with the Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 2. The newspaper Bild am Sonntag has seen letters in which ambassador Grenell warns companies.
As the video says, Donald Trump’s ambassador in Germany Grenell was in the news earlier for using US American taxpayers’ money to support far-right political parties in Europe.
Earlier his colleague in the Netherlands did the same.
“We want to emphasize that companies involved in Russian energy exports deal with a sector in which there is a significant risk of sanctions”, writes Grenell in the letter. …
The Russian gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 is currently being constructed in the Baltic Sea between Russia and Germany. The US argues that Europe is thereby becoming more dependent on Russia and that Ukraine is losing power as a transit country. The US also wants to supply its own gas to Europe.
Earlier, the US ambassador to the Netherlands, Pete Hoekstra, warned that sanctions threaten. …
Mr Hoekstra was in the news earlier for falsely claiming there were no go-zones in the Netherlands where cars and politicians were set on fire ‘because of radical Islam’; and then calling these, his own, sayings, ‘fake news’.
No politicians are set on fire in the Netherlands. Dutch politicians’ cars ARE sometimes set on fire. But not by ‘radical Islam’. By right-wing xenophobes who think these politicians are too leftist and too pro-refugees. Like happened in Oostknollendam in 2015.
The US delegate to the EU also noted that President Trump has “many different instruments” to counteract the construction of the gas pipeline. “We have not yet made every effort to undermine or even stop the project.”
LARA TRUMP: MIGRANTS ARE ‘DOWNFALL OF GERMANY’ Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law and 2020 campaign adviser, asserted that Germany’s acceptance of migrants was “the downfall” of the country. She said Angela Merkel’s open-door policy was “one of the worst things that ever happened to Germany,” and “this president knows that.” [HuffPost] | <urn:uuid:d755a36c-9f24-471c-90c4-9975ee943a48> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://dearkitty1.wordpress.com/2019/01/13/trumps-ambassador-threatens-germany-on-gas-pipeline/ | 2019-11-13T09:55:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667177.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113090217-20191113114217-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.973977 | 602 | [

Department of Energy Helps Consumers Better Manage Their Energy Consumption
As part of the Administration’s commitment to ensuring a clean energy future, U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced that up to $8 million in funding will be made available to encourage utilities, local governments and communities to create programs that empower consumers to better manage their electricity use through improved access to their own electricity consumption data.
Under the “Smart Grid Data Access” Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), local communities will be able to partner with utilities and third-party technology innovators to develop and implement programs that make consumer electricity consumption data readily available. Programs developed under this funding announcement could lead to greater residential energy efficiency and potentially to reduced energy costs for consumers.
“Providing consumers with easy access to data on their energy consumption can help give them the tools they need to make informed decisions about their energy use,” Secretary Chu said. “Developing applications and services to help consumers understand and control their energy use is a field ripe for American innovation.”
New smart grid technologies on the electric grid are generating unprecedented amounts of electricity usage data that can potentially give homes and businesses more control over their electricity choices. However, in order to turn this data into useable information, consumers need tools and software products that are convenient and easy to use so they can more effectively understand their electricity use.
The “Smart Grid Data Access” FOA will be conducted in two phases. In Phase I, applicants will provide detailed demonstration plans that outline their process for establishing the required data access policies for consumers and authorized third parties. Phase I applicants will also be required to demonstrate at least one third-party software application designed to deliver a valuable service to consumers, and provide a means to better manage electricity consumption. Phase I will include 10-12 projects, funded at $500,000 each. For phase II, the Department will select one recipient to receive approximately $2,000,000 for the wide scale adoption of Phase I work.
The FOA, which is available at FedConnect.net, provides additional information, including cost-sharing requirements for government-industry cooperation.
The deadline for submitting applications is March 1, 2012. | <urn:uuid:dbf0159b-6d38-4933-a411-10ff537ce950> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://eponline.com/articles/2011/11/14/department-of-energy-helps-consumers-better-manage-their-energy-consumption.aspx | 2019-11-13T09:46:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667177.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113090217-20191113114217-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.943271 | 453 | [

Summer is almost here and it’s time to show your lawn some love! Flower bed edging is one of the ways you can do that this season. This guide is a quick and easy solution for the gardening homeowner. Follow the steps below to get your perfect lawn.
But First, Why Is Lawn Edging Important in the First Place?
Edging your flower bed contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the house, there’s no doubt about that. However, most homeowners aren’t aware of the other advantages that come with landscape edging:
- Makes maintenance easier and quicker
- Keeps harmful weeds at bay and preserves plant mulches
- Establishes a clear gardening area by creating a defined outline around the flower bed
- Prevents different elements in your garden (such as plants and grass) from mixing
Flower bed edging gives much more than a clean, tidy look to your landscape. It’s vital for plant health on so many levels. It reduces your need to frequently apply herbicide and lowers the spread of plant diseases.
Steps for Flower Bed Edging
Just follow these 4 quick and easy steps:
Step 1: Create/Recreate an Edge
First, you will need to cut the edge. To create a new bed, use a garden hose to mark the lines. Then use a spade or half-moon edger to cut into the ground along the lines you have marked. You may have some trouble along curves since these tools don’t do a particularly good job cutting curves.
Another alternative is to use when edging a garden is an edger with a circular blade on wheels. This allows you to guide and walk behind the tool and while it cuts a deep line into the ground to create nice flower bed borders. The wheels make cutting along curves a lot smoother and neater.
Step 2: Remove the Turf
After cutting through the ground and establishing your edge, use the spade to refine it and deepen the cut to four to six inches. The spade should also be used to cut the turf on the inside of the bed – that’s if you are cutting a new bed. Once you have done this, the loose turf can be removed by hand quite easily. Aim to create an edge that is at a 90-degree angle.
Step 3: Master the Edge
The cleaner you can get the edges, the better. Try using a pair of hand shears to cut away any grass blades along the trench wall. This is a great lawn edging tool. Be careful, however, not to hold the shears horizontally because this may demolish your perfect right angle.
Step 4: Mulch the Flower Bed
The last thing you will need to do is lay two to three inches of mulch on the flower bed. This is effective in combating weeds and providing a nice contrasting colour to the edge of a flower bed.
While flower bed edging can be done as a DIY project, it’s a good idea to consult a professional landscaping company for advice on the right garden edging products and techniques for your lawn. | <urn:uuid:9e6e7688-8ab4-432c-a7d7-80c6e4d9447f> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://jhc-landscaping.com/flower-bed-edging-4-easy-steps/ | 2019-11-17T05:42:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668787.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117041351-20191117065351-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.925792 | 643 | [

As with all VK builds space is a premium and solutions must be found. My goals are to keep the engine low in the bay, clear the brake booster, keep a/c, and keep stock shift location. Let’s see how I did.
Shifter linkage still needs modified but the location should be the same and workable.
Keeping a/c was a snap. It is the p/s I have fitment issues with. Most people remove the a/c pump and place p/s there, or they run the electric p/s pump from a Toyota.
The p/s pulley is about 5-6 inches across, so it contacts the area just below the battery after you remove the batter tray. I am going to address this later but I have a decent fix…I think.
Getting the engine lower is a pain as it is going to take an oil pan rebuild. I cut some of the pan away to fit and see what I need to do.
I still don’t have a plan on the booster. I have looked at booster-less Wilwood setups but I am not fully sold yet.
A new tool has been added to the shop but that will have to wait-
