What do you think? I'm not talking about your wife's pet kitty. It's the feral one's that you see a long way from any houses that I'm talking about. How do you handle this? I think most of ya's know my position on this subject .
We don't see too many of these in Southern California as the coyotes consider them delicacies. Even the pets disappear if they're not kept inside at night in rural areas, or even some suburbs. Of course, they also munch small dogs.
I have seen them around the campgrounds in Northern California, though, like in the Redwoods, etc.
We like cats.We really like those (sail cats that you find in the road.)
Really I dont shoot cats but I have no problem with someone else shooting ones that are wild OR pooping in your yard.
Our dogs pretty much keep them out of our yard now.
One time I did find a big tom cat hiding in our barn, I caught him and nutered him.He didnt hang around after he woke up
Last time Steve saw him he was running fast past our place.
I used to raise ducks and one day my babies started to decrease in numbers. I had one left and I put it in a special pen and when I went out to check on it one of my cats was in the pen dinning on my last baby duck.
there's a story here somewhere...but i just cant remember the actuall events.....but i do know this...a farmer was controlling the population of the cats that were hanging around his farm and was run through the mill for mistreating animals........i do remember that he wasnt ppoisoning them,i think he was shooting them......just becareful,who needs that crap!
we have a small 2-acre plot where our hunting cabin sits.....it was loaded with pheasant and rabbits....then came the cats,pheasant and rabbits all gone!
we have a couple differnt views on the cats at our camp......one is BLAST-UM...(243 90 gr. ballistic tip)works great!...the other view is to leave some to help controll the field mice......you can guess for yourself wich view is mine.
What timing. I just recieved this month's issue of Guns and Ammo. In it they tell of an AZ man who sued the state of Az. because a coyote ate his cat. The suit also mandated that the Az. Fish and Game feed the coyotes so they would not be inclined to eat cats.(Don't know if he won)
I have a solution. Stake out a cat. When the coyotes come in shoot the yote. At the end of the day shoot the cat. This way you have a biodegradable decoy. | <urn:uuid:16411a61-c35f-4669-a838-e2de62f32cb9> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/are-housecats-varmints.209923/ | 2019-11-13T05:10:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496665985.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113035916-20191113063916-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.97584 | 584 | [

Time Out says
This brick behemoth is a place to soak up Camden's radical past and present
This aptly-named Camden landmark has decades of radical theatre and music history behind it: its round brick walls have been rocked by the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane and The Doors, and it staged theatre critic Kenneth Tynan's scandalous nude revue 'Oh Calcutta' in 1969. These days things are a little more sedate, but it still plays host to an eclectic range of big-name music acts from Imogen Heap to Gary Numan to The Darkness.
Its high-ceilinged space is also a great place to see acrobats soar through the air as part of the venue's popular biannual Circusfest: the next edition is in May 2020. And Roundhouse has also become the centre of London's buzzing spoken word scene: it's got a programme which supports young Camden residents to get into slam poetry, which bears fruit in the venues' annual Last Word festival.
Constructed in 1846 as a turntable shed for the London and Birmingham railway, the Roundhouse – a Grade II-listed building – has a long and illustrious history, including spells as a liquor warehouse and long periods of disuse. But it came into its own as a legendary music venue in the '60s/'70s, when it hosted radical happenings of every flavour. Work on the extensive overhaul/refurbishment began in 2004 and it reopened in 2006 as a modern arts and mixed-media performance space with strong community bias. The main room benefits from a high domed ceiling and Victorian metal 'ribs', and a flexible auditorium that can house seated audiences for theatre or cabaret shows, or standing crowds for gigs.

One on my favourite venues. So many iconic artists have played here
Choice of seats or standing for gigs. Bar is less busy than other venues and there's an option for food too.
In the summer, try the beach. Sand and cocktails is perfect in the London sunshine
Loved this venue! I had a standing ticket and was expecting to have to queue for ages to get in and pay excessive amounts for drinks - I was proven wrong on both counts. In fact, drinks were very reasonable (£4.50 per spirit and mixer) and the queues for them weren't too long. The floor of the actual venue is slightly sloped which enhances the view - bonus! Would definitely go and see more things there.
One of the most eclectic venues in London, that still plays to full houses in whatever blend of artists that perform.
Wonderful venue, wonderful staff and volunteers and seeing Suede here twice in two nights last winter was a life highlight
Very good venue; excellent acoustics and good choice of artists. Saw Spiritualized there years ago (admittedly not been a huge amount) but that was perfection!
Oh, Roundhouse. I really, really want to love you and give you a big 5 stars. You're great. The interior of the main gig space is architecturally astounding, there's a decent number of watering holes dotted around the venue and there's a nice bit of outside space for all tobacco enthusiasts (or just a bit of fresh air). However, I went to see the amazing Kwabs there. And amazing is understatement for how amazing he was. The problem was that my gig partner and I were stood outside the metal arches in the gig space and sound does not carry well at all outside of the "inner circle". There were times when I struggled to hear him and he was, after all, the reason I was there. So, Roundhouse, if you're reading this, you're great but you have your flaws. Sort out your acoustics. Oh, and please ban iPads?

Another 5-star review… and such a fabulous write up and too many shout outs for the team to be able to get it all in one graphic. WOW! We are so thankful to be able to help our clients and create an even bigger impact for them with multiple specialists.

THANK YOU ANNIE!
“We started the process of listing our home in the beginning of March, with a month on the “Coming Soon” listing. Our house officially went on the market on April 5th. By April 7th, we had 4 offers on our house. On April 8th, we accepted one of the offers, and our house went into pending status. This process could not have been smoother. We cannot say enough good about Ryan and his team! They were so responsive to any issues or concerns that came up. We would highly recommend Ryan and his team to anyone wanting to buy or sell a home. We not only had the opportunity to work with Ryan, but also with Gabby Stocks and Sharon (Casey). We had excellent experiences with everyone that we dealt with. Thank you, Ryan and team, for your excellence in making our home buying and selling process so seamless.” | <urn:uuid:a04f58a3-0c67-4585-a705-79dd3895a189> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.ryanhansonhomes.com/blog/5-star-review/ | 2019-11-17T01:09:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668772.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20191116231644-20191117015644-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.986948 | 269 | [

Gold Upleg Fuel Abounds
Gold and its miners' stocks have proven rare bastions of strength during recent weeks' market carnage. They are powering considerably higher while nearly everything else burns. The markets' major sentiment shift is accelerating a young gold upleg, which ought to grow much larger as speculators and investors continue returning. Their collective gold positioning remains very low, making for abundant gold upleg fuel.
October's outperformance by gold and gold stocks has been impressive. As of Wednesday, the flagship US S&P 500 broad-market stock index had plunged 8.8% month-to-date. That heavy selling was led by the market-darling mega tech stocks, pummeling the NASDAQ down 11.7% MTD! Stock investors are starting to pay the piper for getting far too complacent in bubble-valued markets, the reckoning is underway.
But contrarians prudently positioned in gold and its miners' stocks have enjoyed large divergent gains as flight capital floods in. Gold has surged 3.4% MTD despite the US Dollar Index's strong 1.3% rally. The long-forsaken gold stocks have nicely amplified those gains, refusing to get sucked into the maelstrom of heavy stock-market selling. The leading HUI gold-stock index has blasted 8.2% higher MTD, 2.4x gold's upside!
While mid-October's stock-market plunge out of the blue jumpstarted gold, its young upleg was already stealthily underway. Gold bottomed at $1174 in mid-August after getting pummeled by all-time record gold-futures short selling by speculators. It quickly rebounded as high as $1210 in late August, but drifted back down as low as $1183 in late September. This anemic gold upleg was already 7+ weeks oldin mid-October.
Though gold didn't respond much the first day the S&P 500 plunged 3.3%, the next day's 2.1% follow-on selling galvanized gold interest. It rocketed from $1194 to $1223 that day, a huge 2.5% rally that made for its biggest up day since late June 2016's surprise pro-Brexit vote in the UK! Those massive gold gains propelled the HUI a huge 7.4% higher that day. Capital was deluging back into this moribund contrarian sector.
While the gold and gold-stock gains in recent weeks were impressive, they remain quite small. From their respective mid-August and early-September lows, gold and the HUI were only up 5.0% and 13.9% as of the middle of this week. That's hardly even upleg territory, a mere start. Gold's last major upleg unfolded in roughly the first half of 2016. While it was on the smaller side by historical standards, it offers perspective.
Gold surged 29.9% higher in just 6.7 months, catapulting the major gold stocks as measured by the HUI 182.2% higher in largely that same span! So what we've seen in recent weeks is nothing compared to the last major gold upleg, let alone far-bigger previous ones. Today's young gold upleg is only getting started. And with gold upleg fuel still abounding, odds are it and the resulting gold-stock upleg will grow much larger.
Gold bull-market uplegs usually unfold in the same telescoping fashion. They are initially ignited by gold-futures speculators covering shorts. These traders are usually the only buyers at major lows following corrections when sentiment is hyper-bearish. They buy offsetting gold-futures long contracts to close out their existing short contracts at profits. This short covering is the spark that first kindles major gold uplegs.
That short covering soon burns itself out, as short-side traders have relatively-little capital compared to the other gold buyers. But it often propels gold high enough for long enough to entice long-sidegold-futures speculators to return. They command much more capital than the shorts, and their buying soon becomes self-feeding. The more gold-futures contracts they buy, the more their peers start chasing that momentum.
That long-buying second stage eventually evokes gold uplegs' third stage, the primary one and largest by far. All the gold-futures buying extends gold's rally enough to get investors interested in returning. They control vastly more capital than futures speculators, so once they start buying gold is off to the races in a major new upleg. Unlike short-lived gold-futures buying, gold investment buying can run for many months on end.
Stage-one gold-futures short covering is the initial trigger that ignites stage-two gold-futures long buying. And all that futures buying together eventually jumpstarts stage-three investment buying. As investors start to return to gold in a material way, gold's upleg accelerates in a self-sustainingvirtuous circle. The more capital investors pour into gold, the more it rallies. The more gold climbs, the more investors want to buy.
Today's young gold upleg is starting to follow that usual three-stage pattern of fueling buying. And since vast amounts of gold-futures short covering, gold-futures long buying, and investment buying still remain based on current positions, this gold upleg is likely to power way higher before it eventually gives up its ghost. Gold looks exceptionally bullish today with upleg fuel abounding, portending much bigger gains to come.
What gold-futures speculators and gold investors are actually doing and likely to do in coming months is discernable from two key datasets. The first is the weekly Commitments of Traders reports published by the CFTC, which detail speculators' collective positions in gold futures on a weekly basis. The second is the physical gold bullion held in trust by the leading and dominant American GLD SPDR Gold Shares gold ETF.
We'll start on the gold-futures side, as that's where gold uplegs' stage-one and stage-two buying comes from. This chart shows large and small speculators' total long and short gold-futures contracts held, in greed and red respectively. Gold is superimposed over the top in blue. Despite gold's sharp rally when the S&P 500 plunged, the great majority of likely gold-futures buying is still yet to come which is really bullish.
Gold's woes that ultimately birthed today's young upleg are recent. This classic contrarian investment actually fared pretty well from early 2017 to mid-2018, climbing higher on balance and holding above a rising support line for 17.4 months. Gold was trading at $1302 in mid-June before enormous gold-futures short selling erupted on a sharp USDX rally. That extreme short selling snowballed into a record shorting spree.
From mid-June to mid-August, speculators' gold-futures shorts skyrocketed a stupendous 156% or 156.4k contracts! That catapulted them to an extreme new all-time record high of 256.7k, as you can see above in red. That shattered the previous record of 202.3k from August 2015, which helped spawn that last major gold upleg in H1'16. Gold fell 9.9% in 2.1 months when that epic record short ramp was underway.
In early September I wrote an extensive essay on those record gold-futures shorts explaining why they were so darned bullish. There's nothing more bullish for gold than extreme speculator shorts because of how short selling works. These traders reverse the normal trading order by first selling high before later attempting to buy back low. But speculators don't actually have the gold futures they want to sell short.
So they must effectively borrowgold futures to short them. And these debts legally have to be paid back soon. Mechanically gold-futures shorts are repaid and closed by buying offsetting long contracts. Thus speculators' excessive gold-futures shorts are literally guaranteed proportional near-future buying! And the incredible leverage inherent in gold futures means this short covering often unfolds fast, over a couple months.
Back in early September, the minimum margin required for controlling each 100-troy-ounce gold-futures contract was $3100. This week it's $3400. At $1200 gold, 100 ounces are worth $120,000. But a trader running at the margin limits can effectively buy or sell that much gold with crazy 35.3x leverage! In stock markets the legal maximum has been 2x for decades now. At 35x, trading gold futures is extraordinarily risky.
For every 1% the gold price moves against traders' positions, like rallying when they are short, they lose 35% of their own capital risked. A mere 2.9% gold rally would wipe out fully 100% of their capital at 35x leverage! And in mid-October on the S&P 500's second big down day alone, gold surged 2.5%. That was driven by frantic speculators rushing to buy longs to cover their extreme near-record gold-futures shorts.
The weekly CoT reports are current to Tuesday closes, but aren't published until late Friday afternoons. So the latest-available data on speculators' gold-futures positions when this essay was published was current to October 16th, the CoT week straddling that sharp 5.3% 2-day plunge in the S&P 500. Just as I warned in early September, speculators' near-record short-side bets resulted in record short-covering buying.
That CoT week speculators bought to cover an astounding 48.1k gold-futures short contracts! That was a new all-time record high, shattering the previous CoT-week record of 41.5k from March 1999. Covering of this magnitude is exceedingly rare. Out of the 1033 CoT weeks since early 1999, only 11 witnessed short covering over 25k contracts. That frenzied short covering is why gold's price exploded higher that day.
Remember major gold uplegs are initially ignited by stage-one gold-futures short-covering buying. And despite speculators panicking as stock markets plunged and covering nearly 1/5th of their near-record shorts in a single CoT week, their remaining shorts are still extreme. They were running way up at 205.0k in that latest CoT report, which would've been a record high before late July 2018. Much more covering is coming.
To just mean revert back down to mid-June levels before this summer's record orgy of shorting, these elite traders still have to buy to cover another 104.7k contracts! That's 2.2x what they did in that initial CoT week, and the equivalent of a huge 325.6 metric tons of gold still due to be boughtfrom short covering alone. Short-covering buying out of extremes tends to unfold rapidly, over just a couple months or so.
So assume 7 more CoT weeks of speculators covering shorts on balance, which works out to 46.5t of gold per week. According to the World Gold Council's definitive fundamental data, in the first half of 2018 total global gold investment demand averaged 21.9t per week. So speculators' buying to cover alone could boost this by 2.1x over the next couple months! That will naturally propel gold considerably higher.
Eventually gold will power high enough for long enough to convince long-side gold-futures speculators to start buying again. As the higher green line above shows, they control a lot more capital than the short-side guys. While they wield that same extreme leverage, their buying is totally voluntary. They don't need to first borrow in order to buy low then sell high. Their collective bets just bounced off a deep 2.7-year low.
Merely to mean revert back to their 52-week high of 356.4k long contracts, these speculators would have to buy another 119.4k from the latest CoT week's low levels. That's the equivalent of another 371.5t of gold. Stage-two gold-futures long buying by speculators generally unfolds over 3 to 6 months. Assuming the conservative latter gives us about 25 more weeks of buying on balance, averaging out to 14.9t per week.
That alone would boost baseline global gold investment demand from the first half of this year by 68%! And that's not including that stage-one short-covering buying. You better believe gold will power a lot higher from here if world investment demand swells by 2/3rds for a half-year or so on gold-futures long buying. Massive gold upleg fuel remains on both the short and long sides of gold futures with current positioning.
When gold surged 29.9% higher to enter a new bull in the first half of 2016, speculators' total shorts fell by 82.8k contracts while their longs soared by 249.2k. That made for 332.0k of total buying. Including this first CoT week of buying on that mid-October stock-market plunge, gold's young upleg today easily has the potential to see at least152.7k contracts of short-covering buying and another 129.3k of long buying.
That adds up to 282.0k contracts, equivalent to a colossal 877.1 metric tons of gold! World investment demand in H1'18 totaled just 570.1t for comparison. With the buying fuel for this upleg running around 85% of what drove early 2016's 30%ish one, this gold upleg should have no problem rallying over 25%from its mid-August lows. That would carry gold to $1467, a major bull breakout above the previous $1365 peak.
Nothing excites investors more than new bull-market highs, which motivates them to chase the strong momentum. They allocate larger fractions of their vast pools of capital into gold, leading to sustained buying dwarfing anything the gold-futures speculators can manage. This stage-three investment buying is what makes gold uplegs awesome. All the futures buying leading into it is ultimately just a triggering mechanism.
This next chart looks at American stock investors' capital flowing into and out of gold through the lens of that dominant GLD gold ETF. Unlike most gold fundamental data only available quarterly, GLD's holdings are published daily. They offer a near-real-time view into whether investors are buying or selling gold. I wrote a whole essay in late September explaining the mechanics of GLD and its importance to gold prices.
GLD's mission is to track the gold price, but GLD shares' supply and demand is independent from gold's own. Thus GLD's managers have to equalize excess GLD-share buying or selling pressure directly into physical gold itself or this ETF's share price will decouple. So GLD effectively acts as a conduitfor the vast pools of American stock-market capital to slosh into and out of gold. GLD's changing holdings reflect this.
When investors are buying GLD shares faster than gold is being bought, the GLD-share price threatens to breakaway to the upside. GLD's managers prevent this by issuing enough new GLD shares to satisfy the excess demand. Then they plow the resulting proceeds directly into gold bullion which boosts this ETF's holdings. So rising GLD holdings mean investment capital is flowing into gold, which naturally bids it higher.
But the opposite happened in recent months as investors dumped GLD shares faster than gold was being sold. GLD's share price would've failed to the downside if its managers hadn't stepped in to sop up that excess supply. They raised the capital to buy back GLD shares by selling some of its gold bullion held in trust for shareholders. Thus falling GLD holdings reveal investment capital flowing out of gold, pushing it lower.
GLD's physical-gold-bullion holdings held for its investors peaked at 871.2 metric tons in late April, and started to shrink as stock investors pulled capital from gold. Strong stock markets and that extreme gold-futures-shorting-driven gold selloff contributed to the bearish sentiment and mass exodus. But that gold-negative trend reversed sharply when the stock markets started plunging in mid-October, a major inflection.
Gold tends to rally when stock markets weaken, making it the ultimate portfolio diversifier. Between late April and early October, GLD's holdings relentlessly dropped 16.2% or 141.0t. GLD's capital outflows in Q3'18 were the worst by far since Q4'16 when Trump's surprise election victory really goosed the stock markets and thus hammered gold. By early October, GLD had gone an incredible 2.6 months without any builds!
Remember the S&P 500 clawed to more all-time record highs in late August and late September, so gold was deeply out of favor with investors. Why prudently diversify small fractions of stock-heavy portfolios with counter-moving gold when stock markets seem to do nothing but rally indefinitely? But that trend reversed hard that very day the S&P 500 plunged 3.3% out of the blue in mid-October, GLD demand exploded.
As stock investors shocked from their euphoric and complacent stupor rushed to buy GLD shares, there was so much differential buying pressure it forced a major 1.2% holdings build! That was the largest in 6.7 months, and the first build at all since late July. One serious day of stock-market selling was all that was needed for investors to remember gold. That differential buying pressure persisted in subsequent days.
GLD's holdings enjoyed further 0.8% and 0.6% build days late that week and early the next, and have seen additional builds this week. This early stage-three investment buying spawned by renewed fears that stock markets can fall toohas already boosted GLD's holdings by 2.7% or 19.5t in just a couple weeks. And while stock selloffs help initially ignite gold investment buying, it soon becomes self-feeding.
Investors love chasing winners, so buying begets buying. The more anything rallies, the more investors want to buy it. The more capital they deploy into it, the more it rallies. That last major gold upleg back in the first half of 2016 was also sparked by a stock-market correction, with the S&P 500 retreating 13.3% in 3.3 months. As of this week this latest stock-market selloff was still a large pullback at 9.4% over 1.1 months.
That early-2016 correction bottomed in mid-February, as gold was just nearing $1250. But once it had been ignited, that big differential GLD buying pressure continued until early July ultimately pushing gold lots higher to $1365. Most of that gold upleg happened afterthe stock markets had already bottomed and started marching higher again. The thing that killed that gold upleg was finally a new record high in the S&P 500.
Between mid-December 2015 and early July 2016, GLD's holdings soared 55.9% or 352.6t higher which was a major driver of that 30%ish gold upleg. To revisit those bull-to-date-high GLD-holdings levels today, this ETF would have to add another 252.6t of gold to its holdings from its recent early-October low. So there's again plenty of room for massive stage-three gold investment buying to catapult this upleg far higher!
Investors were and remain radically underinvested in gold, it barely even registers in their portfolios any more. When GLD's holdings sunk to 730.2t in early October, that was a deep 2.6-year low. American stock investors hadn't been less deployed in gold since mid-February 2016 when gold's last upleg was still young before powering much higher. Like gold-futures speculators, investors too are positioned for big buying.
So gold upleg fuel aboundstoday! Gold-futures speculators still have massive stage-one short-covering buying left to do, and have barely even started their also-huge stage-two mean-reversion long buying. And the big stage-three investment buying that will ultimately follow the gold-futures buying is already getting underway early. Such enormous buying likely coming will drive gold's young upleg much higher.
And while it's not strictly necessary beyond ignition, I suspect stock-market weakness will persist and fuel even more gold investment demand. As I warned at the end of September when the S&P 500 remained near record highs, Q4'18 is the first quarter ever that would see Fed quantitative tightening run at its terminal $50b-per-monthpace. I wrote an important essay detailing why that is this stock bull's death knell.
To merely unwind half of the Fed's $3.6t of QE-conjured money created in preceding years, QT would have to run at full steam for 30 months! These QE-inflated stock markets trading at bubble valuations are going to struggle greatly with QT underway. So October's stock-market weakness is likely the start of a major bear market, not a temporary correction before new record highs. That will greatly boost gold demand!
The gold miners' stocks will really leverage gold's coming gains as its young upleg grows. When gold's last upleg surged 29.9% higher in the first half of 2016, that HUI major-gold-stock index skyrocketed an enormous 182.2% higher in roughly that same span! While that was extreme 6.1x upside leverage, 2x to 3x is common and expected. Gold stocks are already amplifying gold's surge since mid-October by 2x.
The key to riding any gold-stock bull to multiplying your fortune is staying informed, both about broader markets and individual stocks. That's long been our specialty at Zeal. My decades of experience both intensely studying the markets and actively trading them as a contrarian is priceless and impossible to replicate. I share my vast experience, knowledge, wisdom, and ongoing research through our popular newsletters.
Published weeklyand monthly, they explain what's going on in the markets, why, and how to trade them with specific stocks. They are a great way to stay abreast, easy to read and affordable. Walking the contrarian walk is very profitable. As of Q3, we've recommended and realized 1045 newsletter stock trades since 2001. Their average annualized realized gains including all losers is +17.7%! That's doublethe long-term stock-market average. Subscribe today and get invested before gold stocks soar way higher!
The bottom line is this young gold upleg is accelerating, greatly boosted by this month's unexpected plunging stock markets. Despite speculators' record gold-futures short covering on that drop, the lion's share of that stage-one gold-upleg-driving buying is still yet to come. And stage-two gold-futures long buying is barely starting. So abundant buying fuel remains to propel gold dramatically higher in coming months.
That futures buying ultimately ignites the far-larger stage-three investment buying, which soon takes on a life of its own. But the shock of that out-of-the-blue stock-market plunge started attracting investors back to gold early. They remain radically underinvested in gold, with huge buying to do to reestablish some normalcy in portfolio allocations. Weaker stock markets will accelerate this overdue shift of capital back into gold.

This summer everyone is going to get their GEL manicure and pedicure right before they leave for vacations! Acrylic nails are a thing of the past, and now it’s all about getting the gel manicure and pedicure.
Gel has been trending for quite some time because it offers so many great benefits. The Gel lasts for about two to three weeks, which is conveniently the amount of time for a summer vacation. You can leave right after and even go swimming without damaging it!
The Spa at PGA National offers Gel manicure and pedicures with the OPI GelColor line. Angie Rawlins Nail Technician from the Spa at PGA National highly recommends using the Gel for your summer manicure and pedicure.
“Normally you have to wait at least a half hour for your nails to dry with a regular manicure, but with the Gel manicure or pedicure you can leave as soon as possible,” Rawlins said.
Once you get back from your summer travels, it’s very important to make the second appointment for soaking off the gel. The “soak off” normally takes anywhere between 10-15 minutes. “Peeling off the gel by yourself will dry off your nail because you’re also peeling off little layers of your nails when the gel is being removed,” Rawlins said.
So, make sure to stop by the Spa at PGA National for all of your Gel manicure & pedicure needs!
P.S. If you’re having trouble with picking out a color, just remember that bright and florescent are totally in this summer. Any kind of neon or bright gel color will make compliment your summer tan.
Tanning during the summer is incredibly relaxing, but the sun can take a serious toll on your skin. So how can we get that summer glow and still take care of our skin?
According to Paula Taylor, leading massage therapist from the Spa at PGA National, a skin care regime is vital in order to obtain that healthy summer tan. “In order to prolong your tan and keep your skin soft, frequent exfoliation and moisturizer are essential, ” Taylor said.
Sugar scrubs are a sweet way to exfoliate your skin during the summer time. “Sugar scrubs based in coconut oil do both by deeply penetrating the skin with the hydration that dry skin craves,” Taylor said.
The Spa at PGA National offers several exfoliation services in a relaxing environment to keep your skin looking healthy and smooth. So, come check out the Spa’s retail boutique for a wide selection of skin care products for purchase.
Summer Beauty Tip #1: Fight Chlorine & Saltwater Hair
As Floridians, there’s no avoiding diving into the ocean or a pool during the heat of the summer. As refreshing as it may be, unfortunately spending too much time in the water can take a serious toll on your hair. The saltwater from the ocean and the chlorine from the pools are notorious for drying out our luscious locks.
The good news is the damaging effects from the salt water or chlorine can be avoidable. Apparently, the summer secret to the damage is simply applying apple cider vinegar.
Maria Salamis, Master Stylist from The Salon at PGA National reveals summer hair remedies. “Finish your swim, shampoo with your favorite shampoo, and rinse with ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar mixed with ¾ cup water to help cleanse your hair. Then follow with a deep conditioner. Leave in for a few minutes, and continue styling,” Salamis said.
Make sure to stop by the Salon at PGA National for hair treatments,expert hair advice or a great selection of professional salon products for the summer!

If your students seem more fluent and better informed than usual they may already be using titles from the introductory guides published by Humanities-Ebooks.co.uk.
Humanities Insights includes superior study guides in Literature, History, Philosophy and Genre Fiction, by experts in their fields, carefully edited for clarity, and peer-reviewed for quality, and aimed at students and their teachers.
To receive our newsletter on new titles and request a FREE copy of any Insight or a FREE SAMPLE containing specimen sections on T S Eliot, Ted Hughes, Wittgenstein, The British Empire, The Secret Agent, Women in Love and The Sound and the Fury, please email [email protected]
Our best sellers on Amazon are John Gilroy on Philip Larkin: Selected Poems, closely followed by Michael Cotsell’s William Faulkner: The Sound and the Fury, and John Lennard’s Octavia Butler: Xenogenesis.
Other exciting titles are The Waste Land by C J Ackerley, Fields of Agony by Stuart Sillars (an illustrated study of First World War Poetry, with links to online archives, including audio), and Paul McDonald on Catch-22.
Philosophy Insights cover Existentialism, Plato, Wittgenstein, Critical Thinking, and Contemporary Philosophy of Religion. General titles (aimed at Literature and Philosophy students) so far cover Critical Theory, Rhetorical terms and Modern Feminist Theory.
Historical topics, so far, include treatments of Oliver Cromwell, The Holocaust, Lenin, the Risorgimento and British Imperialism.
Our original PDF ebooks (better than the Kindle versions) are currently offered at £3.99 and are available 24/7 : no queues, no empty shelves, no wait, no postage.
OUR PHILOSOPHY: “The point of Literature Insights is not to replicate the usual kind of study guide (all summaries and suggested answers) but to distil people’s long experience of what really matters in teaching a particular text, alert students to critical issues and doubtful questions, and help them to enjoy the author’s strategies and mind-set. Insights are like pocket battleships. They are much shorter than full length academic studies, but up-to-date, authoritative and punchy. Insights are comfortable for screen-reading, they use colour, they are easy to navigate, and they make use of hyperlinks – to online resources and appendices in the text. Any illustrations are more vivid than in print. And of course Ebooks are searchable.”

Implicit Bias: From Awareness to Positive Change
"Children rise to the expectations of the adults in their environment, whether it's negative or positive."
- Dr. Rosemarie Allen
The second Early Childhood Advantage Symposium - organized by the Great Start for Great Futures Coalition - showcased nationally known author, researcher and professor, Dr. Rosemarie Allen, as the keynote speaker. Her presentation, "Implicit Bias: From Awareness to Positive Change" detailed how bias (see sidebar) has an impact on relationships, communication, classroom teaching and students.
Using personal stories, Dr. Allen led Symposium participants (nearly 500 early childhood educators from 54 preschools, administrators and Stark County community leaders) to develop a deeper appreciation of the importance of talking about race, bias in general and seeing that "being aware is halfway there". Many commented how Dr. Allen helped them see the importance of "owning their own bias" and that "we are all biased - it's stopping, recognizing and evaluating that matters."
Dr. Allen addressed the importance of learning about cultural differences and how they may lead to miscommunication. "Dr. Allen told us it's ok to talk about race" said one participant, and that "we need to take time to get to know people and their culture in order to better understand them."
The 2019 Symposium also featured two additional speakers: Melissa McClain of Akron Children's Hospital who spoke on Trauma in Early Learning and David Kisor with Growing Sound who presented Songs for Emerging Character Strengths. | <urn:uuid:6a9e13f3-45ae-4551-986a-17fe994159de> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.edpartner.org/links/issues_10-11-19.htm | 2019-11-21T13:43:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670821.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121125509-20191121153509-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.943798 | 315 | [

The game’s portrayal of a wrecked Dubai is so gritty and intense that there was talk the game would be banned in the United Arab Emirates. Timo Ullmann, the managing director of the game’s developer, Yager Developments, said they have received emails from residents and ex-pats of the UAE saying, “how cool they think it is that the city they live in is a backdrop for their game.” | <urn:uuid:4051786f-ce87-44a6-87b5-d5a8e6aa5482> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://gamingtrend.com/news/co-op-announced-for-spec-ops-the-line/ | 2019-11-21T13:59:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670821.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121125509-20191121153509-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.974513 | 155 | [

Children who are tearful on wakening
My grandson is now 2 years old. I look after him at his home on Weds while my daughter-in-law attends her college course (nursery is too expensive when she’s not actually at work & earning!) He needs an afternoon nap but is ‘fragile’ and easily tearful for some time after waking. Last week he woke, crying, earlier than I expected. I brought him down, cuddled him & he determinedly turned round, planted his head on my shoulder & arms round my neck & went back to sleep. I leaned back in the corner of the sofa & we both slept for a while. When I woke I started repeating “Mummy loves J…… (name removed)” etc (including, of course, “Granny loves J….”!) I didn’t stroke him, as I didn’t know how long he’d been asleep & I really needed both arms round him.
After a few times I changed it to “Mummy loves you . . .” After a few more times, after “Mummy loves you,” I heard a little voice say, “Yes”! This was repeated after “Daddy . . ” & “Granny . .”. We went through this a few times more, then he sat himself up & was perfectly happy!

3 great races at Oaklawn today, none of which impact my Enlightened Trails but 1 at least, the Rebel, does prove significant toward the real Derby trail. The Razorback, on paper, seems to be the most exciting of the three. Here’s how I see them:
We’ll start with the Azeri, which is for fillies/mares 4YO+. This Grade 2 event is worth $350k and is 8.5 furlongs. Here’s my top 3, publishing before odds have been announced:
Theogony had mainly raced in Canada and now races in both the Heartland and Southern tracks. Won a 100k stakes race last summer, largely disappointing since then. Owns prior win first off layoff. 4 works at OP, all 4 very fast, best works of this field. I am impressed by her turn time of 23.8, best of these.
Call Pat won the Bayakoa (G3) here last out a month ago. Has consistently placed in most races over the last year, last several also Graded. Adjusted for run style, this deep closer may well prove to be the hidden speed of the field. Nice pattern of Brisnet speed figures in the 90s for the last 3 races.
High Dollar Woman won the Indiana Oaks last summer (G2). diminishing returns in last 2. Lone pure speed of the field. Goes back from sprint to route. Suggested odds: Call Pat 4-1; Sarah Sis 6-1; Streamline 5-2; Theogony 2-1; Meshell 24-1 Overlays: Theogony
Next is the Grade 3 Razorback Handicap for 4YOs +, Grade 3 event, 8.5 furlongs.
Carve won here last year in the 100k 5th Season, with mixed blessings in 6 races since. Top AWD numbers in the field (First Samurai/Apt, by AP Indy); 103 Brisnet achieved in the 5th Season is best for distance and track of this field. Moved up from 85 to 92 last out after layoff and claim. 4 works in prep, 3 very fast, 1 bullet. 1.6 second gain in turn time from last race, leads this field.
Incremental is best of the three-horse Umarov entry here. Last won in a claiming race at Prairie Meadows, decent placings at Churchill and OP since then. Recovered in pace with 91 Brisnet, surpassing 90 on 1/16 first after layoff. 91 is small new top since 90 in November.
Smack Smack won the Zia Championship and the Veterans in November at Zia Park, plus the Governor’s Cup at Remington. 8 wins, 15 placings in 20 starts. 4 works at OP, all 4 very fast at 4f-5f. Ran a bit wide through much of his last effort in a 75k optional claimer tho posted a nice 96 running 2nd best.
Suggested odds: Carve 9-2; Smack Smack 8-1; Upstart 14-1; Incremental 9-1; Domain’s Rap 9-1; Shotgun Kowboy 7-1; Far Right 7-1; Idolo Porteno 11-1; Looks To Spare 11-1.
Overlay: Idolo Porteno. Makes his US debut after 10 races in Argentina, winner of several Grade 1 events, adds Lasix again and takes a significant weight drop.
Now to the Grade 1 Rebel Stakes for top 3YOs, going 8.5 furlongs, for a 900k purse and some actual Derby points. Top 3 are these:
Cherry Wine had graduated from maiden 2 races in November, then duplicated her strong win with another in a 75k optional claimer on 1/9 in Gulfstream. Posted lifetime best of 85, 89, 90 last 3. Excellent turn time of 23.4, .8 seconds gain from last race.
Gray Sky is 7-1-2-2 lifetime, 5th in the Smarty Jones, then 2nd in a 70k allowance race last time out. 4 works since last race, 2 very fast, 1 a bullet.
I like Creator, narrowly over Cupid, for 3rd. Maiden win last out came in her 6th attempt, and after 4 2nds and 1 5th. Deep closer whose stretch kick makes him fastest of this field. Set small new top of 93 last time out itself a sharp increase from prior race of 78.
Suggested odds: Creator 6-1; Suddenbreakingnews 8-1; Cherry Wine 5-2; Gray Sky 5-1. Overlays: Cherry Wine, Gray Sky.
I’ve not been successful with handicapping steeplechase races, but I’m willing to take a swing at the big race on Friday, the Cheltenham Gold Cup. There just aren’t enough stats I can wrap my brain around. So I keep things simple and focus on similar stats that have worked for me with thoroughbreds.
Using info from sportinglife.com which stays on top of betting lines and racecards, my top 3 are these:
Don Cossack is a narrow and deserving favorite; likes good/soft going, has prior shipping win and also win from gaining in class. The Cooper/Elliott combo has a good competitive % of wins. You can’t argue with a 26-15-4-2 record!
Smad Place has a 25 furlong win, one of 4 horses here to do so. Switches back to Hutchinson, with whom he’s won prior. Slight gain in weight, a move which he’s won with before. King and Hutchinson also have competitive numbers together.
Essentially I’m leaning on jockey/trainer combos above most other stats, and for that I also like Djakadam, the early 2nd choice in the morning-line. This horse stretches out a bit, and has a prior win doing so, also has a 25-furlong win. Best jockey/trainer win combo in Walsh and Mullins. | <urn:uuid:45300173-6c6c-4ad2-8fdd-d1456e8646fe> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://idealisticstats.wordpress.com/2016/03/ | 2019-11-21T14:19:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670821.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121125509-20191121153509-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.938028 | 1,293 | [

IS THERE STILL HOPE FOR THE COUNTRY?
What role can architecture, art and literature play for regions lacking adequate infrastructure? The Archive of the Future invited five guests on the evening of 22 August 2019 to discuss this difficult, multifaceted question. The captivating roundtable exchange was filmed in front of a public audience in the showroom. Guests included:
(Urbanist and Senior Project Manager for the
International Building Exhibition IBA Thüringen)
(Architect of the Archive of the Future)
(Filmmaker and Author)
(Managing Director of R+G Shareholdings, Developer of the Archive of the Future)
(Lichtenfels Author and Journalist)
Rem Koolhaas predicted that the “future of the world would be decided in the countryside.” Nevertheless a small German city like Lichtenfels still struggles with rural flight, especially of young people and local talent, in spite of the economic prosperity of the high-tech companies based there. During an evening of public roundtable discussion, various personalities from the country and the city examined the extent to which culture can promote identification and participation and whether architecture, literature and art have the power to inspire smaller communities to find a healthy level of sustainability, thereby rendering them future-proof.

This dwelling was probably designed by its owner/builder, Joseph Keck, who later became an important figure in finance within Washington County. The late version of the Italianate style is here combined with a French Second Empire mansard roof. The character of the design is strongly asserted in the pronounced array of angular wall dormers that are thrust through the eave line of the roof. The entrance facade exhibits a central curved roof dormer, balanced on each side by dormers with sharply pitched gable roofs. The porch, instead of being linear and delicate as it would have been treated in the earlier phase of the Italianate, is here thick and substantial. With the exception of a few missing details—such as the projecting finial and ornament of its central curved dormer and its metal iron fence by the public sidewalk—the building is much the same as it was when built.

Explaining your child’s allergy to the ayi
After 5 years I am ashamed to say I couldn’t order a meal in a restaurant with non-English speaking staff if I wanted to. So one can image the difficulty I encounter when trying to explain the severity of my child’s allergy where a mutual language is not shared.
Now this is my way of bringing this important message across (I must warn you it is not the best way but so far I have had very good results):
Ayi (then I point at son with allergy and say his name for emphasis) eats nuts (I pretend to eat) die (and I pretend die, and this death would surely win me Baftas and Oscars). My poor son is freaking out and my husband is at the side (when he is unfortunate to witness these interviews ) fuming and rolling his eyes at me. I know later this would lead to the discussion (heated of course) on why I have to be so dramatic.
This is my explanation for doing it this way. (I am by no means apologizing for my methods). I figure if I try to explain to ayi with my limited Mandarin that some nuts are more dangerous than others and that while he could eat coconut, hazelnut consumption on the other-hand would inevitably lead to shock and possible death, its better to tell her all nuts would kill him.
The usual question after this is ‘what about the other child?’ . My response to this is both children should never be given nuts. My other son would chime in ‘I am not allergic to nuts’; thank God he usually says this in English but if the ayi is hired she will let me know that my sons have told her that the younger child is not allergic to nuts. This is immediately dealt with. Now more sign language is used and a few Mandarin speaking friends are called in to reaffirm and reconfirm the importance of the nut ban in my household.
I must say that in the five years that I have been here only once has an ayi ever cooked with nuts and as soon as I walked through the door I smelt it. She immediately remembered and the kitchen was thoroughly scrubbed, pots washed so many times the ayi hands looked a mess. She worked with us for 2 years (we had just moved to China) and she would never allow him to be given anything that she hasn’t checked, double and then triple checked.
Some will say ‘woman why the scare tactic’ (my husband being one) but my response to this will be ‘It is better scaring the daylights out of ayis, friends, schools etc than suffer the consequence of an allergic reaction.” Freaking out the ayi is worth having a healthy child.
So never believe you are making too big a deal of your child’s allergy. You have a responsibility to protect them so do this the best way you can.
Till next time stay allergen free.

Pursuing a Bachelor's in Education at St Francis Xavier University
How are you getting on at StFX?
I love the university and the community here in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. I decided to do my Bachelor of Education at StFX after finishing my Bachelor of Human Kinetics here this year. Students develop fantastic relationships with professors and the connections you make at this little university are endless!
What have been the highlights and challenges so far?
Being able to maintain a full course load on top of extra-curricular activities is still challenging, even though I did it throughout high school. One highlight was getting my X-Ring. This is a special graduation tradition for all StFX students, with parents invited. The ceremony was so meaningful.
Do you feel DAA prepared you well for university?
It definitely prepared me for my core classes and even though I took only a few IB courses, I found the high school-level classes still prepared me for what I wanted to do. I understood the core material and had the learning skills necessary to be successful.
You got to meet 2017 Global Teacher Prize winner Maggie MacDonnell – how was that?
Listening to her speak was amazing. She started the presentation by asking, “How could a gym teacher be worth a million dollars?” But after sharing her story and all the work she has done for so many communities, it was very understandable and she was truly inspirational. Maggie really emphasised how building interpersonal relationships with your students is crucial for them to be engaged and make real-life connections that help to prepare them for life outside school. The part that I loved most – with physical education being my teachable subject – is how getting to know your students, and making PE applicable to what they like, will keep them engaged in physical activity for the rest of their lives.
What are your aspirations for the future?
I hope to teach internationally after I complete my Bachelor of Education in 2021. I loved growing up overseas and being a Third Culture Kid, and I hope to continue to grow and develop and practice my profession in global environments. I am so excited to teach PE – I hope to bring a new and fun pedagogical approach, all while being inclusive and generating a safe learning environment for my students to maximise their physical fitness and understanding of physical literacy. | <urn:uuid:02e00e72-382f-4f19-8412-5642cd72044a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.gemsaa-dubai.com/News-and-Stories/Alumni-Stories/Lani-Deakin | 2021-02-27T20:53:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178359497.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227204637-20210227234637-00041.warc.gz | en | 0.973258 | 475 | [

Home Credit a.s. announces launch of Floating Rate Note issue for CZK 3 billion
“This transaction will further enhance our ability to fund efficiently our continued growth and increase the diversification of our funding sources. Proceeds from the bond issue will be used partly to repay the existing short-term liabilities of the company, and also to finance the further dynamic growth in our consumer finance activities in the areas of POS consumer loans, cash loans and revolving loans”, says Mr Milos Stibor, the Chairman of the Board, Home Credit a.s.
“We believe the successful offering of the notes of Home Credit a.s. demonstrates the strong appetite amongst local and international investors in CZK-denominated assets of fast growing Czech companies. The order book showed a dynamic development during the book-building process. Finally, as a result of the healthy oversubscription for the notes, we managed to deliver favourable conditions to the issuer by fixing the margin of the bonds at the tight end of the originally indicated spread”, comments Ms Marketa Mühlhoferova, Head of Capital Markets, Ceska sporitelna.
”This successful transaction confirms a growing awareness and interest of foreign investors in the Czech domestic bond market. The success of the placement is an important prerequisite for the future funding of Home Credit, which is on good track to tighten the margins on its senior unsecured funding once it decides to approach the market in the future”, comments Mr Zoltan Toth, Senior Manager, Financial Institutions & Sovereigns, Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG.
Ceska sporitelna, a.s. and Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich AG acted as the Joint Lead Managers and Bookrunners on the transaction.
The notes were fully placed with institutional investors in the Czech Republic, Austria, the UK, Germany and Slovakia, and will be listed on the Secondary Market of the Prague Stock Exchange as at the closing date.
The Prospectus in connection with the issue was approved by the Czech National Bank and it is available in line with applicable legal requirements, inter alia, on web pages www.homecredit.net.

Blockchain-Powered Solutions around the WorldReading Time: 3 minutes
When blockchain was first introduced nearly three decades ago, the world was hesitant to embrace the technology. In recent years, however, blockchain technology has gained traction, and the world is starting to pay attention. The technology quickly shifted from its initial use in crypto-currencies and is now being implemented for use in a variety of organizations.
All over the world, blockchain has become a phenomenon, used for various purposes including the detection of counterfeits and enabling governments to store and share sensitive data securely. Governments around the globe are starting to invest heavily in the blockchain. Most government organizations were initially sceptical about using blockchain due to its relation to crypto-currencies. Today, those same entities have seen Blockchain’s potential and are interested in exploring ways they can use it to improve life for their citizens.
In Taiwan, Jason Hsu, an entrepreneur who became a legislator, is lobbying for the transformation of Taiwan into a Blockchain developers’ hub. In a recent interview, Hsu said that his intention was to break barriers between legislation and technological innovation. Hsu has introduced and developed legislation related to AI, cybersecurity, autonomous vehicle management, and sandboxes.
The South Korean Government intends to invest $900 million towards developing blockchain through December 2019. They intend to collaborate with different governments to carry out Blockchain projects within government sectors such as real estate transactions, customs clearance, e-document distribution across borders, online voting and much more. The main objective is to utilize a decentralized network to improve efficiency in data sharing and transparency in government facilities.
The Netherlands is among the most receptive governments to crypto-currencies. The Dutch Government has considered using Blockchain technology in different fields, such as working with Blockchain Pilots, a FinTech company that guides institutions when trying out new projects.
By the end of 2017, The Dutch Government was testing over 30 pilot projects that included identity, tax, autonomous vehicles, and logistics. Amsterdam is also interested in offering a simpler and more efficient way to apply for a healthcare plan via blockchain. Their initiative attempted to make sure that it created a clear synopsis of authorizations in the healthcare procedure. Rotterdam is working on a blockchain procedure that will collect tourism taxes, while Eindhoven is building a case on how to use blockchain to increase the speed of land transfer processes.
Moscow City has a voters’ platform based on blockchain and will be the first city to implement an e-voting system that utilizes blockchain. Each vote in the platform will be transparent and publicly available, making the voting process secure while reducing any chances of fraud or interference by third parties.
Using Blockchain will boost their voting system, which currently experiences issues such as low turnout and fraud. This will revolutionize the voting process as we know it and will serve to increase voter turnout, a primary concern for many governments around the world.
Online voting is convenient and offers an alternative that could greatly increase the number of voters for different reasons, such as election integrity and security. An electronic system powered by blockchain would mitigate the risk of election violence, especially in developing countries.
Global Development Aid and Remittances
Blockchain can be of use in creating financial avenues such as development aid. The UNWFP sent cryptocurrency-based food vouchers to more than 10,000 Syrian refugees. These vouchers allowed them to buy much-needed food.
For people with no bank accounts, such as the refugees, Blockchain can serve as a bank-like avenue. Users only need a smartphone in order to easily access the money. Sending money across borders is another benefit of blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
For immigrants working in various countries, the use of blockchain to remit money to their home countries is cheaper than traditional methods. This is because blockchain eliminates the need for an intermediary to send the money. This is especially true for Africa, where these international transactions are very expensive. Here, implementing blockchain technology makes it cheaper and more accessible for citizens.
Blockchain may still sound like a far-fetched idea, but the benefits are clear. When the Internet first came to be, it received the same hesitation and scepticism. It turned out to be one of the most disruptive technologies ever created, and Blockchain has the same potential for radical disruption. Once embraced, it will revolutionize all processes and make fraud nearly impossible.
Countries around the world are now starting to take notice of this technology. Many projects are underway in various public sectors such as online voting, land transfers and healthcare systems. As this trend continues over the next decade, Blockchain will become a way of life, firmly entrenched in global systems.

Democrats are the most corrupt and hypocritical group of people in America.
For 4 years, they have cried foul over Presaident Donald Trump’s victory in 2016.
Hillary Clinton still thinks she should be president to this day, because she’s just as corrupt and delusional as the rest.
Now, after the 2020 election has been prematurly called by the media, Democrats are mad because president Trump hasn’t yet conceded.
Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell isn’t having any of it.
McConnel just blasted Democrats for their hypocrisy.
In his first commnts since the media called the election, McConnell had this to say:
“Let’s not have any lectures, no lectures, about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election and who insinuated that this one would be illegitimate too if they lost again.”
Here's more on McConnell's comments from the New York Post:
President Trump should not be expected to “cheerfully, immediately” accept the outcome of the contested 2020 race and is “100 percent within his rights” to challenge the results, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said in a speech from the Senate floor on Monday.
In his first remarks since Joe Biden was called the winner of the presidential election based on projections, McConnell defended Trump’s use of litigation to challenge vote counts in various states and blasted Democrats like Hillary Clinton for claiming Trump would try to steal the election.
“Let’s not have any lectures, no lectures, about how the president should immediately, cheerfully accept preliminary election results from the same characters who just spent four years refusing to accept the validity of the last election and who insinuated that this one would be illegitimate too if they lost again — only if they lost,” the Kentucky Republican said.
“The people who push this hysteria could not have any more egg on their faces than they do right now,” McConnell said of charges that foreign countries would interfere in the presidential election, highlighting the hundreds of millions that had been spent to fortify election security.
While calling for every legal vote to be counted, McConnell, who just won his own re-election in a landslide, said the commander-in-chief was “100 percent within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh his legal options.”
Reuters has more on McConnell, who says that the president is "100% within his rights to look into allegations."
The top Republican in the U.S. Congress on Monday said President Donald Trump was well within his rights to look into charges of “irregularities” in last week’s election, which has been called for Democrat Joe Biden, but did not offer any evidence of fraud.
Trump, a Republican, has yet to acknowledge defeat two days after Biden secured enough votes in the state-by-state Electoral College to win. On Monday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he backed Trump’s launch of a legal fight into claims of voter fraud.
“President Trump is 100% within his rights to look into allegations of irregularities and weigh his legal options,” McConnell said. Before addressing the Senate, McConnell met privately with Attorney General William Barr.
Just a handful of Senate Republicans have congratulated Biden on his victory. One of them, Senator Susan Collins, told reporters Monday evening that she thought the president’s legal challenges are “unlikely to change the outcome” of the election.
But most Republican lawmakers have either said the president’s lawsuits should be allowed to play out, or avoided public comment on the election results.
Conservatives with spines defended President Trump's right to contest the results of the election on Twitter. | <urn:uuid:5cf23275-a1e7-4f13-b807-08e170c5f86d> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://welovetrump.com/2020/11/10/mcconnell-to-democrats-upset-at-trump-for-not-conceding-lets-have-no-lectures/ | 2021-03-07T20:19:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178378872.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307200746-20210307230746-00361.warc.gz | en | 0.973449 | 841 | [

Daniel Berger made an eagle on the final hole to win the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by two strokes this past Sunday.
The 27-year-old enjoyed an emphatic final-round performance in California where he delivered a masterclass to come out on top.
Berger shot a seven-under-par 65 to grab a clutch victory for a fourth PGA Tour triumph.
The American started his day well with an eagle on the 2nd hole, followed by two birdies.
A bogey on the 8th didn’t mess up his round and Berger continued at it after the turn with birdies on 10 and 14.
He then delivered the grandstand finish by rolling in a long putt on 18 for an eagle to grab victory with a winning score of 18 under par.
Maverick McNealy finished in second spot on 16 under, while Patrick Cantlay and Jordan Spieth secured T3 on 15 under.
‘One of the best finishing holes I’ve ever played, obviously, with everything that happened on Saturday, hitting that ball out of bounds, to step up there and hit a great drive and then one of the best 3-woods I’ve ever hit in my life and then to make that putt is just as good as it gets for me,’ Berger said after his round.
‘When I was hurt, I thought, man, I’m never going to be able to play golf again without being … without feeling like I was going to be hurt and not be able to do the things I know I needed to be able to do to prepare and play my best golf. I thought I didn’t really love the game until it was taken away from me for three or four months and then I was really sad.
‘I think I was a bit lucky to have the team of doctors that I had to really get me back to a 100%. Now it’s a non-issue. I never think about it. It never bothers me and it’s really something that I can put behind me in the past.’
South Africa’s Braden Grace finished the week in T34 on five under par. | <urn:uuid:dc6762e0-310e-48ab-8e81-fcdb7820bb94> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.compleatgolfer.com/news/berger-wins-at-pebble-beach-pro-am-1/ | 2021-02-24T22:53:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178349708.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20210224223004-20210225013004-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.97634 | 460 | [

Mirage Energy Corporation / Northern Hemisphere Logistics Inc. announced it has signed a $4 Billion debt facility with the family office of Bluebell International, LLC’s (BBI) family office, (www.bluebellfunding.com) for the development of natural gas pipelines, underground natural gas storage and the Isthmus Corridor Project.
The company’s pipeline, interconnected with Whitewater Whistler, provides an inexpensive natural gas supply for Mexico through a new 42-inch pipeline to be built from Agua Dulce/ Banquette Hub to Progresso then into Mexico. From there, natural gas can be stored underground (once developed) or sent to Station #19 on the Sistrangas system, with a 42-inch line going on to Los Ramones and an interconnect to the San Fernando/Cactus line, which would bring natural gas all the way to Nuevo Pemex on the Yucatan Peninsula.
When fully developed, Mirage’s natural gas storage facility will be the largest natural gas storage facility on the North American continent with the ability to hold 786BCF of natural gas, giving the country of Mexico a six-month’s supply in the event natural gas is interrupted – a strategic asset for the country.
The Isthmus Corridor project consists of a series of pipelines and storage facilities in Mexico connecting the Port of Pajaritos on the Gulf of Mexico side to Salina Cruz on the Pacific side. The pipelines will provide a faster, more economical means of delivering crude oil and refined products from the U.S. to Asia, Mexico and the west coast of the U.S. Compared to using the Panama Canal or the Cape Horn route. Using this route saves 36 days of true shipping time to Asia, for example.
“One of the biggest problems in oil and gas transportation is the logistical dilemma posed by Supertankers that cannot fit through the Panama Canal, thereby reducing access to the Pacific Ocean or forcing them to take the hazardous and expensive journey around Cape Horn,” said Michael Ward, President and CEO of Mirage Energy. “The Isthmus project is a logical and far more economical alternative, and we are pleased that the family offices of Bluebell International have agreed to partner with us.”
The three projects comprise the following:
- Mirage 1 – Burgos Hub Storage & Natural Gas Pipeline, a US-Mexico development consisting of cross-border transportation and the first underground natural gas storage facility in the country of Mexico.
- Mirage 2 – SAN FERNANDO/CACTUS – 48-inch natural gas pipeline running from Reynosa, Mexico to Nuevo Pemex.
- Mirage 3 – ISTHMUS CORRIDOR – 30-inch and 48-inch bi-directional crude oil pipeline across the Tehuantepec Isthmus of Mexico (connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans). | <urn:uuid:00096954-5469-4603-81ed-dfa813fa632a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://pipelinejobs.com/news/mirage-energy-corporation-and-northern-hemisphere-logistics-inc-sign-4-billion-debt-financing-with-bluebell-international-llc-for-development-of-three-projects-including-pipelines-natural-gas-sto/ | 2021-02-26T12:13:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178357641.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226115116-20210226145116-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.897612 | 601 | [

On the evening of March 22, nine Digital Filmmaking students had the opportunity to showcase the talent they’ve developed and expanded upon over the past 18 months of their lives as each student proudly presented their final documentary to their peers, family and friends.
The first documentary was by Courtney Adams, entitled “Love you always, dad”. This film documented the process of Courtney’s father’s diagnosis of ALS – from first noticeable symptoms to the moment where Courtney’s parents had to break the news to their two daughters of their father’s fatal illness. Friends and family members looked back on Courtney’s fathers struggle, the fight he put forth and the memories he left behind.
Tim Holder presented “Down the Hill” next which followed two sisters and their passion for competitive downhill skiing. The two girl’s passion for such a sport brings forth obvious dangers, however, with the full support of their friends and family, the girls continue to triumph in their sport.
Derek Cameron’s film, “Never Give Up” brought light to his struggle with Epilepsy. Many misconceptions about the disease were addressed as Derek interviewed various family members and friends who acknowledged that although the disease has been a struggle for Derek, his mindset to “Never Give Up” has kept him motivated to follow his dreams.
Joel Hanet presented next. His documentary “Safety Off” explored the highly controversial topic of gun control. Joel sought out many political figures for information, but was unable to make contact with many of the representatives. Joel also interviewed those who owned guns and explored the advantages associated with responsibly owning a firearm. Joel also spoke to educational professionals to get their take on gun control.
Corey Hayne’s film, “Behind the Wheel” took a look at the many various driving hazards that exist both inside and outside of the automobile. This comical, yet powerful film spoke to those who have witnessed poor driving habits and those who, themselves, have been involved in car accidents or had someone close to them involved in one.
The film, “Oh Canada” by Shane McEwan asked the question, “Why Canada?”. What actually makes you Canadian? Why choose Canada as a place to live? Speaking with various Canadians, this film brought forth many different opinions and advantages of being Canadian.
Jean-Felix Hery’s film, “Epilogue” spoke with seniors within the Kelowna community and asked the question, “Why retire in Kelowna?” Answers were pretty unanimous, in that Kelowna offers various summer and winter outdoor activities that appeal to many people, along with the fact that the city itself is beautiful and at a size that isn’t too overwhelming and a location that isn’t too secluded.
Brandon Alexis’ film, “Idle No More” discussed bill C45 and the Idle No More movement. Brandon interviewed many first nations to gain insight into the government exploitations of the indigenous treaty rights. The film – both informative and touching – successfully brought light to this lingering problem within Canada.
Jordan Marlin finished off the presentation with his film, “Sleepless”, where him and a fellow student underwent an experiment to see how they could function off of limited sleep. The two students visited a sleep clinic to learn about the side effects of not getting quality sleep and compared that to what they actually went through. They each experienced different highs and lows at different times, but in the end, maxed out at a little over 30 hours of being awake.
It was amazing what each student was capable of capturing in just a short fifteen minute film. Each student shows great promise in the film industry and we wish each of them the absolute best in their brightly lit futures! | <urn:uuid:0114553d-47f3-448e-8c48-65debbdd40ff> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://digitalartschool.com/campus-news/digital-filmmaking/prodigy-9-does-digital-filmmaking-program-proud | 2021-03-01T16:50:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362741.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301151825-20210301181825-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.977614 | 796 | [

Cowboys DE Greg Hardy is as good a player as he a pain as a teammate. But the owner/GM of the Dallas Cowboys, whom the Seahawks play Sunday, cares purely about winning. He’s not winning.
Under Jerry Jones, owner/general manager/narcissist-in-chief of the Dallas Cowboys since 1988, the franchise has always been the old Dodge City of the NFL, a place where renegades, desperadoes and varmints could be among one another without much interference from the law.
The latest dubious dude to join the Jones Gang is DE Greg Hardy, who high-tailed out of North Carolina after a trail of domestic abuse and firearms complaints had him in the NFL hoosegow. But a little dirt never stopped Jones, so the Cowboys signed Hardy after his release by the Panthers.
After a judicial conviction, the NFL sentence was supposed to be for 10 games But since no witnesses to the abuse, including the alleged victim, a former girlfriend, came forward during Hardy’s appeal, legal charges were dropped. The NFL, either out of ignorance or fear or both, reduced the sentence to four games.
That means he’s in uniform when the Cowboys host the Seahawks at 1:25 p.m. Sunday. A formidable pass rusher, Hardy presumably will be after all of the Seahawks’ horses, whiskey and saloon girls. But that’s his job for a team that finished 28th in the league last year in sacks.
What has Hardy’s name ablaze in the dime novels again was his conduct among his teammates during a 27-20 loss to the Giants, the fourth in a row for the Cowboys — as many defeats as they had all of last season.
Along the sidelines late in the game, Hardy’s second as a Cowboy, he castigated teammates, swatted at the clipboard of an assistant coach, who shoved him back, and argued with WR Dez Bryant, who himself has, as they say in human resources, anger-management issues.
The video of the episode was found amusing by Seahawks DE Michael Bennett.
“I think it’s kind of ironic that Dez Bryant was telling him not to have an outburst,” he said Wednesday. “(Bryant is) one of the main guys in the NFL that has a lot of outbursts. I guess he’s changing too.”
Jones’ reaction to all this outbursting? Sunday he called Hardy “one of the real leaders on this team and he earns it with respect from all of his teammates. That’s the kind of thing that inspires a football team.
“He’s just getting guys ready to play, in my view. I don’t have any issue with him being involved in motivating or pushing in any part of the football team.”
Not only was there no suspension, nor even a stern lecture, there was praise for Hardy’s inspirational use of coach/teammate badgering on national TV. Presumably if he hired Hannibal Lecter and directed him to the Cowboys cafeteria, Jones would later tell police, “I swear I told him to eat with the fellas.”
Hardy is neither the first nor last to have a sideline argument, but he is a player with a history of conflict — a high-maintenance personality. Which, when a team has a four-game losing streak and is down to a third-string quarterback for a game against the two-time-defending NFC champions, is not helpful.
During a teleconference call with Seattle-area reporters, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was asked whether he was concerned about the team’s image, or is that a problem for Jones. Garrett was oblique.
“There are things that will come up from time to time that we have to address as coaches, and our philosophy is a simple one: Address it, solve it, and move on,” he said. “We try to do that as well as we can. So if he, or anybody else, needs to . . . you know, if we need to address any issues with those guys, we’ll certainly do it.”
Hmm. Not sure that meant things were solved. But the answer was a little better than Hardy’s repeated response Sunday to reporters’ queries: “Next question . . . no comment; next question, no comment . . . ”
Somehow, Hardy does not bring nearly the panache to a non-answer answer that Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch does. Which brings us to the point that Seahawks fans would be wise to not be too smug about the disarray in Dallas.
The Seahawks just had a week in which two players in separate incidents had car wrecks that narrowly averted tragedy. In April, the Seahawks hired with a second-round pick DE Frank Clark, who was thrown off his college team after a purported episode of domestic violence. Charges were subsequently dropped, and Clark has had no further reported conduct issues, but the Seahawks walked into controversy they didn’t need, nor did they manage it particularly well.
No team is immune to the seduction of glorious football talent, no matter how much dubious behavior comes with it. But Tuesday on Showtime’s Inside The NFL show, New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall had the guts to call out Hardy’s act and Jones’ role in its perpetuation by enabling him.
“When I look at Greg and how he’s handled himself, on the field and in the locker room, I see a guy that is not aware,” Marshall said, via ESPN. “He doesn’t understand the magnitude of what happened last year, what he did and the atmosphere surrounding the NFL.
“I don’t think that he gets it. I don’t think that he learned his lesson. He really needs to look himself in the mirror and ask himself, ‘What type of person do I want to be?'”
Marshall has some credibility on the subject, having gone through multiple emotional episodes in his time with the Chicago Bears, after which he sought counseling.
“Every game I know there’s going to be two or three cameras in my face,” he said. “Why? Because I’m a high-emotion guy and because of my history. I am aware.”
Not only does Marshall say Hardy is unaware, it’s the same for Jones.
“Right now Jerry’s only focusing on the player,” Marshall said. “It’s time for us to start talking about the person. If we want the product on the field to be great, if we want to protect the (NFL) shield, then we have to approach both the same.”
Therein lies the problem for Jones. Nearly every NFL general manager/coach takes on high-risk, high-reward players because winning always comes first. If the team wins, all is forgiven, or at least forgotten or marginalized.
For all the aura surrounding the Cowboys, since their run of three Super Bowl championships in four years that ended in 1995, they haven’t been back. In the subsequent 20 years, the Cowboys have had eight winning seasons, none of which has included as much as a conference final. They are a sports empire in decay, thanks mostly to Jones’ player-personnel foolishness.
If a team strongman is going to be negligent when it comes to player character, winning big is the only cover, because fans then indulge all. Lose, and the ugliness is laid bare. | <urn:uuid:e95b4d16-7143-414a-8777-3fdd756bbc8e> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://sportspressnw.com/2210843/2015/thiel-seahawks-get-a-look-at-cowboys-mess | 2021-03-03T05:11:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178365454.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303042832-20210303072832-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.978636 | 1,608 | [

There are many facets of the secure application development process. The right set of security functional requirements has to be identified along with more qualitative nonfunctional security characteristics, such as reliability. Then those requirements have to be embodied in a provably correct design and finally coded using secure coding practices. Meanwhile, the evolving product has to be assured in-stream by unit tests that then prove to satisfy the assurance case using acceptance testing methods and novel assurance measures, such as penetration tests.
The whole process starts with getting the right set of security requirements, which is what you will focus on in this assignment. While it is true that all other aspects of secure development are important, if the initial requirement set is incorrect the product will be incorrect, no matter how many best practices were involved in the preparation process.
To begin the Application:
Read about the Software Engineering Institute's SQUARE-Lite security requirements elicitation method found in the SQUARE-Lite: Case Study on VADSoft Project (see attached pdf). Choose one of AAG's Revenue Acquisition Management (RAM) system applications as described in the AAG model case (see attached pdf). Apply the SQUARE-Lite methodology to assess the risks and threats for the application you chose.
Using the templates provided in the SQUARE-Lite document, develop:
•A risk and threat list (with at least five risks for your application) as shown in section 2.1.3
•A risk matrix as shown in section 2.2
•A risk rank list as shown in section 2.2.3
Then, using your risk and threat assessment, write a 1- to 2-page paper in which you develop one security functional requirement for the RAM application based on your risk and threat assessment. This requirement should be practically implementable and should achieve the security objective it was meant to address.

Why Travel with MT Sobek?
Tiny Montenegro sits just up the coast from Greece, with medieval walled cities straight out of a James Bond film (literally: Kotor was used as a set in Casino Royale). One of Montenegro's most striking features is its Mediterranean coastline, where visitors swim in secret coves against the backdrop of pine-covered mountain ranges that rise sharply up from the sapphire-blue waters. Away from the beach, you can explore the dramatic landscapes of Durmitor National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site part of the scenic Dinaric Alps. Here you'll find glacial lakes, underground streams, and deep river canyons - the most impressive of which is the Tara Canyon, where the canyon walls soar 4,000 feet above the Tara River below. This is a stunning place for white-water rafting surrounded by nature, far off the beaten path.
After the Balkan Wars of the 1990s, Mountain Travel Sobek was the first North American company to enter this formerly inaccessible country, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, and we remain committed to helping travelers discover the stunning natural beauty of this region. | <urn:uuid:e9439df1-de27-44ec-b8bb-7692028c7c9d> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.mtsobek.com/trips/europe/montenegro/ | 2021-03-03T04:49:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178365454.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303042832-20210303072832-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.926025 | 238 | [

It’s pretty much common wisdom that the top predator in the ocean is the great white shark (that is, if there isn’t a remnant population of megalodon hidden somewhere in the deep). But a new study reveals that the massive shark is not the ocean’s top apex predator: that title rightly belongs to orcas, also known as killer whales.
The revelation comes from a paper in Nature Scientific Reports by senior research scientist Salvador Jorgensen at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and his colleagues. Ed Yong at The Atlantic reports that over the years, while studying great white sharks, Jorgensen and his team began to notice that when killer whales entered the scene, the sharks made an exit, and in many cases did not return for months. In particular, in 2009 the team radio-tagged 17 sharks around Southeast Farallon Island in Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, a marine and wildlife refuge off the coast of California. The sharks happily munched on young elephant seals in the waters around the island, which they regularly do between September and December. But when a pod of orcas entered the waters for just a couple of hours, the sharks high-tailed it out of there and most didn’t return that season.
To understand if that situation was common or the whole thing was a fluke, Jorgensen and his team looked deeper in the data, examining information about 165 great white sharks tagged in the Farallones between 2006 and 2013. They compared that with whale, shark and seal surveys collected in the marine sanctuary collected over 27 years.
What they found was a standard pattern. When orca whales entered the area, the sharks bolted from Southeast Farallon and nearby islands. “When confronted by orcas, white sharks will immediately vacate their preferred hunting ground and will not return for up to a year, even though the orcas are only passing through,” Jorgensen says in a press release.
Sarah Sloat at Inverse reports that if the whales get within two miles of the islands, the sharks will pack up and leave. In an average year, researchers are able to document 40 elephant seals eaten by sharks. But in years where the orcas make an appearance, which they did in 2009, 2011 and 2013, that number drops by 62 percent from the previous year. For the seals it can be a win-win situation. If the whales simply pass by and don’t stop to snack but still clear out the sharks, the young seals can chase fish in relative security.
So why are the sharks, which can grow up to 18 feet long, so afraid of orcas? Yong reports that most of what we know about white shark/orca encounters doesn’t end well for the sharks. In 1997, during the first interaction ever recorded, fishermen near Southeast Farallon witnessed a pair of orcas kill a young great white that tried to nose in on the sea lion they were eating. The orcas bashed him to death then ate his liver.
In 2017, five corpses of great white sharks washed up on the beaches of South Africa, all with their livers almost surgically removed. It was the work of orcas, which kill the sharks then make a wound near the calorie-dense shark liver. They then squish the yummy treat out of the shark and leave the rest of the corpse. “It’s like squeezing toothpaste,” Jorgensen tells Yong.
Researchers are beginning to understand how the instinct to avoid predators creates a “landscape of fear” that can have wide-ranging impacts on ecosystems. This new study shows that the concept also applies in the oceans. “We don't typically think about how fear and risk aversion might play a role in shaping where large predators hunt and how that influences ocean ecosystems,” Jorgensen says in the press release. “It turns out these risk effects are very strong even for large predators like white sharks—strong enough to redirect their hunting activity to less preferred but safer areas.”
Let’s just hope those safer hunting grounds aren’t too close to shore. | <urn:uuid:95d65b6f-d9de-4899-b2f5-c0c73a9d348a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/great-white-sharks-are-completely-terrified-orcas-180972009/ | 2021-03-03T06:23:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178365454.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303042832-20210303072832-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.955337 | 856 | [

By Nimrod Ushe
Nerumedzo is a national monument popularly known for a swarm of stink bugs (Harurwa) which throng annually to that place between the month of April and August.
During that time, citizens of Bikita District, pour libation of traditional beer in petition and sacrifices to please the ancestors/vadzimu/amadhlozi for their precious gift of stink bugs.
Geographical location of Nerumedzo and accessibility to site Nerumedzo National Monument is precisely located at a geographical position of (31 45° 30ˈ E or 20 03° 30ˈ S).
This site is usually accessible by a road which turns at Maregere Shopping Centre along the Masvingo-Birchenough Bridge highway. Once at Silveira Mission there is gravel road which turns to the east and it interlinks with Rambanapasi and Mukore township.
The Nerumedzo natural forest is also approximately 20km from Silveira Mission.
History of the legendary Nerumedzo and the origins of Harurwa in Bikita
Historically, Nerumedzo was a birthplace of a mysterious child with four eyes.
“He had two eyes at front and the other two at the back of his head so as to defend himself from his enemies” said Molton Paradzai.
During his infant stage he escaped death from his father, Chief Mazungunye, because he was a twin to Nerumedzo (also known as Nemeso).
He would have been killed following the tradition which condemned twins as an abomination to society in prehistoric times (National Museums and Monuments of Zimbabwe 2006).
The origins of Harurwa in Bikita remain veiled in obscurity. But some tradition believes that the legendary Nerumedzo was given a traditional medicine to lure the stink bugs by his uncles from the Musikavanhu area in Chipinge (Gona reHarurwa).
“It is believed that Harurwa originally came from Mutambara and they flew to Chikore and their last destination could be Nerumedzo,” said Peresu Chikono.
However, other local residents believe that “During the Harurwa season in winter (June to August), those insects develop eggs which could be hatched underneath the ground for several months and it’s most likely their eggs develop into larvae the following year in March,” claimed Anna Ndoga (Mbuya Ruzive).
Significance/Values attached to the Nerumedzo Heritage site
Scientific values such as the study of flora and fauna that is no longer found in other parts of the country (NMMZ 2006). The area is popular with scientists who are interested in the study of Harurwa and other creatures and animals that are found in the forest.
Harurwa could be of economic value. The sale of Harurwa is the source of income for people in Bikita District and seasonal markets are found in major towns and the growth points throughout the country.
Harurwa is also exported to South Africa and neighbouring countries and this brings the useful foreign exchange in Zimbabwe.
More importantly, Harurwa is a delicacy to the people of Bikita and they can be helpful as a nutritional food. Generally, insects are consumed by humans as gourmet foods and protein sources.
In Mexico, insects are well-established food and in other parts of Africa, grasshoppers are considered as delicacies as well. However, prejudice, religion, and superstition might stop people from eating the famous Harurwa.
Harurwa can produce a flammable juice which can be used for lighting lamps. Apart from that, locals claim that Harurwa can be used for medical purposes such as treating Asthma, Flu, and Blood Pressure among other diseases.
And natives claim that the Harurwa can help to boost the Intelligent Quotient. Such a claim cannot be taken for granted because Bikita has a number of good schools such as Mashoko, Silveira, and Pamushana and the Riverton Academy which has produced excellent results over the last years.
Harurwa glands can be useful as insecticides. It could be used to treat vegetable gardens against aphids and vegetable lice.
However, the ” Green” Harurwa could be dangerous. It produces poisonous urine (aldehydes) which can cause blindness, deafness, and can kill humans.
On a lighter note, perhaps people of Bikita could be saluted for their ingenuity and on mastering the art and science of detoxing the Harurwa.
Social values can be attached to the Harurwa and they could be used for community identity. Most of the people who came from Bikita eat Harurwa.
Just like people of Chakohwa can be identified by birds (Ngozha), Kariba (Kapenta), and Chibuwe ( bullfrogs /Madzetse. So Harurwa could be the epitome of Bikita residents in a global setting.
Nerumedzo is also a rainmaking shrine where the community performs a religious practice that modifies weather in order to invoke rain to come in time.
Challenges and glitches of the Nerumedzo Heritage
Since last year, the young people from VaDuma royalty came playing their modern music and dancing Zimbabwean dancehall Clarks during the traditional ceremonies of Harurwa. That it did not please the spirit of stink bugs (Nemeso).
As a result, Harurwa could not come as expected. There was just a handful. During the leadership wrangles of the VaDuma tribe, Harurwa did not descend properly.
Apart from that, veld fire poses a serious challenge to the environment and they kill mushrooms seeds and the forest at large. With the Zimbabwean economy deep in crisis and the prolonged Covid-19 vacation, school-going children were competing with their parents on picking up the Harurwa and they were fingered in the most of the troubles of the forest such as deforestation and collection of manure.
Maybe, the school going kids have long forgotten the rudiments of Heritage Studies which helps to preserve our culture and heritage places.
More so, there is gradual encroachment of the forest and a number of homesteads are sprouting on the edges of the sacred grove.
In a nutshell, indigenous communities of Bikita should be sensitised time and again about the importance of heritage conservation through workshops and other facilities. Perhaps, Nerumedzo could be the source of pride for the people of Bikita. It is a shining beacon for African Indigenous Religion as people can still perform it and receive instant results on their rainmaking and Harurwa prayers. | <urn:uuid:78880c5d-1b90-47ae-8f67-bcb1bc64a53e> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.spiked.co.zw/understanding-the-nerumedzo-heritage-site-in-bikita/ | 2021-03-04T21:09:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369523.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304205238-20210304235238-00081.warc.gz | en | 0.959775 | 1,403 | [

The heat is being turned up on Los Angeles Lakers (22-10) headcoach Frank Vogel. Last night’s 124-127 overtime loss to the Washington Wizards (11-17) was enough to raise the ire of a number of Lakers’ fans.
Without two star men in Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder, the latter sat out due to a seven-day quarantine, the Lakers originally stormed into a 14-point half time lead against the struggling Wizards.
All appeared to be on course for a much-needed victory, but in the second half the Wizards pulled the game level at 115-115 in regular time, before adding a further 12 in overtime to the Laker’s nine to land an unexpected win.
Both LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma missed potential tying field goals at the end of overtime to hand the victory to the Wizards.
The Lakers are 1-3 since Anthony Davis’ injury.
1-4 if you include the game when he got hurt in the 2nd quarter. pic.twitter.com/8iSAMAGJOy
— StatMuse (@statmuse) February 23, 2021
The defeat was the third loss in a row for the Lakers which has heaped the pressure on coach Vogel. Especially with the Western Conference leaders, Utah Jazz (25-6) winning again 132-110 over the Charlotte Hornets.
They now drop to third in the Conference behind their rivals the LA Clippers (22-10), while the Phoenix Suns (20-10) could also overtake them if they were to win either of their two games in hand.
Harrell Sits Out For Gasol
Vogel is also facing flack for his decision to bench Montrezl Harrell in overtime for starting center Marc Gasol. In his 27 minutes of action, Gasol hit seven points, five rebounds and four assists, while Harrell hit 26 points, nine rebounds and two assists in just 23 minutes of action.
when u have 26pts in 21mins but Vogel sits u in OT for Marc Gasol 😭 pic.twitter.com/7F4lh90SPv
— LakeShowYo (@LakeShowYo) February 23, 2021
It was a decision which certainly disappointed some Lakers fans.
LeBron James top scored with 31 points, 13 assists and 9 rebounds in the game, Harrell was next with his 26 points and Anthony Davis replacement Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hit 21 points.
For the Wizards, it was no surprise that Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook were their key men once again. Combining for 65 points in total, Beal hit 33 with six assists and seven rebounds, while Westbrook hit 32 points, nine assists and fourteen rebounds.
The victory didn’t improve the Wizards position any in the Eastern Conference, they remain 13th in the table, but it does mean that they continue their excellent run of recent form by securing their fifth win in successive games.
Only the Brooklyn Nets (20-12), who have won their last six, have a better record in the Eastern Conference.
Washington Face A New L.A Challenge Tonight
After their surprise win last night, the Wizards are back in action tonight against the other Los Angeles team, the Clippers. A number of teams with genuine playoff aspirations from both conferences are also in action too.
The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Toronto Raptors trying to find a bit more consistency after a 5-5 record in their last ten games. The 76ers still remain top of the Eastern Conference, but the in form Brooklyn Nets, who have won their last six, are closing in fast.
The Milwaukee Bucks (18-13) are also not too far behind and could close the gap further if the 76ers lose and they can beat the Minnesota Timberwolves this evening.
Other key games include the Brooklyn Nets facing the Sacramento Kings, The Denver Nuggets against the Portland Trail Blazers and the Dallas Mavericks against the Boston Celtics. | <urn:uuid:250595f9-a870-4a2d-967a-d05d5ab2134f> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://bestbetusa.com/sports/nba/missing-duo-key-as-the-lakers-fall-to-wizards-in-overtime/ | 2021-03-06T11:42:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178374686.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306100836-20210306130836-00401.warc.gz | en | 0.955594 | 815 | [

Powerful simulation systems and equipment are of great importance for improving performance and obtaining good results. In the last year we have worked with research groups from Clemson University (USA) and the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (Portugal) on energy optimisation projects that have given us an in-depth understanding of the state of the art, the challenges and the most interesting simulation platforms.
A good Smart City must have a good system for the management of its smart grids, these make the supply of electricity more efficient, preventing breakdowns or fixing them more quickly. They also optimise energy consumption, which is one of the key objectives of smart cities.
Constant research is essential to achieve these objectives and we have joined forces with important institutions that are carrying out important studies on the scope, improvement and use of smart grids. | <urn:uuid:0ef2e683-65bc-407a-9737-26f652ad771f> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://english.corchado.net/2020/11/17/the-smart-grid-as-a-key-element-of-a-smart-city/ | 2021-02-25T04:39:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350717.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225041034-20210225071034-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.949189 | 166 | [

HUSH and its Series have come a long way, and never had I thought my books would be worth anything – according to all the negative reviews the series has garnished over the last five years – until I recently learned that The HUSH Series is currently being sold for over $1,100.
Q: So, should I now consider this a bragging right?
A: Hell yeah!
But seriously. . .who would pay a $1,000 for a book? Not me. . .unless it`s rare and a collectible and I knew I`d make back the money further down the road. I mean, would Jackie Collin’s first ever print book The World is Full of Married Men with original jacket of Author – to which I own, btw – qualify?
So, HUSH fans if you`re interested in buying a print copy of The HUSH Series and don`t care to pay a grand but rather $50 with an Autograph, then you`re more than welcome to contact me @ [email protected]. | <urn:uuid:cb4e03e6-d924-4785-a017-b92873459ff2> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://thehushsaga.com/?p=5157 | 2021-02-25T04:51:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350717.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225041034-20210225071034-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.97144 | 223 | [

Only by crossing social boundaries and coming together can we resist the forces that threaten to crush us.
By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 2nd November 2016
If there is an irrepressible human trait, it’s the determination, against all odds, to reconnect. Though governments seek to atomise and rule, we will keep finding ways to come together. Our social brains forbid any other outcome. They urge us to reach out, even when the world seems hostile.
This is the conclusion I draw from touring around England over the past few weeks, talking about loneliness and mental health. Everywhere I have been so far, I’ve come across the same, double-sided story: stark failures of government offset in part by the extraordinary force of human kindness.
First the bad news: reminders of the shocking state of our mental health services. I met people who had waited a year for treatment, only to be given the wrong therapy. I heard how the thresholds for treatment are repeatedly being raised, to ration services. I met one practitioner who has been told, as a result of the cuts, to recommend computerised cognitive behaviour therapy to her patients. In other words, instead of working with a therapist, people must sit at a screen, using a programme to try to address disorders likely to have been caused or exacerbated by social isolation. Why not just write these patients a prescription instructing them to bog off and die? At least then they wouldn’t have to wait a year to be told to consult their laptops. I heard of children profoundly damaged by abuse and neglect being sent to secure accommodation – imprisoned in other words – not for their own safety or other people’s, but because there is nowhere else for them to go.
These are not isolated cases, it is a systematic problem. To give just one example, there has been no child and adolescent mental health survey in this country since 2004 (though one is now planned). Snapshot studies suggest that something is going badly wrong: figures published last week for example suggest a near-quadrupling in the past ten years of girls admitted to hospital after cutting themselves. But there are no comprehensive figures. Imagine the outcry if the government had published no national figures on childhood cancer for 12 years, and was unable to tell you whether it was rising or falling.
Sixty per cent of children referred for treatment for mental health disorders do not receive it. The Guardian recently published a mother’s account of how her child had been treated. Despite a severe mental health disorder, it was only after the child attempted suicide that she received the care she needed. The treatment consisted of sending her to the other end of the country: the only available bed was 300 miles from home. You don’t need to be a psychotherapist to imagine what that might do to a distressed and vulnerable child. But when the beds don’t exist, the health service has no choice. Embarrassed into a semblance of action, the last government promised another £250 million a year for children’s mental health. It will scarcely touch the sides.
But amid the rubble of a collapsing state, I kept stumbling into something wonderful. Performing with the musician Ewan McLennan, using music and the spoken word to explore these subjects, has brought me into contact with groups that restore my faith in the human spirit. In Leeds, we ate in a cafe run by the Real Junk Food Project, whose meals are prepared only from waste or donated food. Watching people of all ages, from all stations of life, who had never come together before, yakking away over dinner like old friends, I realised that the project is addressing not only the waste of food but also the waste of social opportunity. Breaking bread together – this is still the best and simplest way of reconnecting.
In Sheffield I met a man experimenting with safe spaces for people suffering manic or psychotic episodes: using woods, allotments and – if his project gets planning permission – cobb houses like hobbit holes to create a place of comfort for those whose minds are roiling. In Durham I saw how people whose poor mental health and isolation exclude them from work are being gently introduced to the social skills and creativity that might allow them to re-engage. In Bristol, I met someone from the Happy City initiative, that’s finding ways to measure well-being and discovering the best means of enhancing it.
Across the country, groups like The Campaign to End Loneliness, Age UK, Independent Age, Community Network, Young Minds, the Transition Network, the Network of Wellbeing and the forthcoming Jo Cox Commisssion on Loneliness are trying to provide a coherent response to the troubled times that lead to troubled minds. Everywhere I look, I see the kind of enterprise and innovation with which business is credited, but that seems to be found most often in the voluntary sector.
But what has struck me with greatest force is this. At the end of every gig, we ask people in the audience to turn to someone they don’t know and say hello. I tell them that they needn’t do any more than that, but they can keep talking if they wish. On the first night, in Durham, I made the mistake of mentioning the idea before we had wrapped up the show. That was all it took – the conversation flared up immediately, and it was a long time before I could direct people’s attention back to the stage. After every concert, the talking has continued long into the night, in the venue’s bar or the nearest pub. It’s as if people have simply been waiting for permission to speak to the strangers who surround them.
Britain, according to government figures, is the loneliness capital of Europe, but even or perhaps especially here, the urge to connect is overwhelming. This reattachment, I believe, holds the key to both our psychological and political transformation. Connected, engaged and happy people do not allow themselves to be trampled into the dirt. It is when we are estranged both from each other and from the political environment that we are easiest to manipulate, as the rise of demagoguery in Europe and the United States seems to attest.
Neither state provision nor community action is a substitute for the other: we need both. But the more effective community groups and voluntary initiatives become, the harder it is for governments to disregard their duties. By talking together we find our voice. | <urn:uuid:8a590eb6-5290-45eb-8e1f-4524eb877c25> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.monbiot.com/2016/11/07/talking-cure/ | 2021-02-25T05:48:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350717.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225041034-20210225071034-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.964914 | 1,322 | [

In the last decade, 141 horses and mules have died on the Romería de El Rocío pilgrimage, a yearly tradition where people cross the Doñana National Park to reach the small Andalusian village of El Rocío. Around a million pilgrims and 20,000 horses, mules and oxen take part in the event every year, which is held in honor of Our Lady of El Rocío, but many animals die on the journey.
I have not seen physical abuse but rather extreme physical effort lead to death PACMA spokesperson Laura Duarte
Pressure from animal activists however, has helped raise awareness and increase vigilance. At the end of last weekend’s pilgrimage, six equines had died from heart attacks, digestive colic and accidents – the lowest number on record. The Civil Guard’s Environmental Protection Service (Seprona) also reported six riders for three cases of animal abuse involving six equines.
Slowly, the number of horses killed en route to El Rocío is diminishing. In 2008, 23 equines were killed, costing the Andalusian regional government €10,000 for the removal and destruction of the animals. In 2012, the number fell to 17; in 2016 there were 13 deaths; and this year just six.
“We have always asked ourselves how many animals die in a population of the 20,000 horses outside of the pilgrimage and the average is between eight and 10,” says Miguel Carro, head of veterinarian services during the pilgrimage. “In El Rocío, another five animals often die because of accidents and previous illnesses that were not apparent in their resting state.”
Around 20,000 animals take part in the pilgrimage
The Animalist Party Against Mistreatment of Animals (PACMA) has welcomed the “good news” that the number of animal deaths has decreased thanks to greater control and the presence of 2,314 Civil Guard officers. “It is the outcome of media pressure,” says PACMA spokesperson Laura Duarte. “This, however, does not change the exploitation that some animals are subjected to as mere means of transport. I have not seen physical abuse but rather extreme physical effort lead to death.”
Santiago Padilla, the secretary of the El Rocío confraternity, says the pilgrimage attracts a very wide range of people some with “more or less understanding of animals.” “No one is asked for a license,” he explains. “We have always demanded the greatest respect for the environment and the animals but outside of the confraternities there are a lot of people.”
The 121 confraternities that take part in the pilgrim take along a veterinarian to care for the needs of the animals.
“Any figure seems high to us. But it is not unreasonable, deaths are common,” says Carro. “Ninety-nine percent of people know how to care for their horses and would not consider not giving them water. The other 1% rents an equine and has no experience, but this is a factor associated with ignorance, not from bad faith.”

Over the last four years, the GOP’s values were inexorably tied to the whims of a president who regularly undermined democratic institutions and traded the party’s longstanding commitment to fiscal discipline, strong foreign policy and the rule of law for a brash and inconsistent populism. The party now faces a decision about whether to keep moving in that direction, as many of Trump’s most loyal supporters demand, or chart a new course.
“We have to decide if we’re going to continue heading down the direction of Donald Trump or if we’re going to return to our roots,” said Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a potential 2024 White House contender.
“The party would be much better off if they were to purge themselves of Donald Trump,” he added. “But I don’t think there’s any hope of him completely going away.”
Whether the party moves on may come down to what Republicans like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz do next.
Cruz acknowledged Biden’s victory on Wednesday, but he refused to describe it as legitimate when pressed.
In the wake of the Capitol riot, a small but notable faction of high-profile Republicans are taking a stronger stance against Trump or distancing themselves from him.
The Senate’s top Republican, Mitch McConnell, said on the eve of the inauguration that the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol was “provoked by the president.” Mike Pence, Trump’s vice president and long considered his most devoted cheerleader, skipped Trump’s departure ceremony to attend Biden’s inauguration.
Those close to Trump believe he will lay low in the immediate future as he focuses on his upcoming impeachment trial for inciting the riot. After that, he is expected to reemerge, likely granting media interviews and finding a new home on social media after losing his powerful Twitter bullhorn.
While his plans are just taking shape, Trump is expected to remain politically active, including trying to exact revenge by backing primary challenges against Republicans he believed scorned him in his final days.
Right after Joe Biden took his oath of office, Lindsey Graham was on FOX News defending Trump – ignoring the Capitol Hill riot on Jan. 6 – saying Trump will remain a dominant voice in the GOP. | <urn:uuid:88c48a6e-26f0-40c5-9662-63239d3f6c8c> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://newsviews.online/2021/01/21/republicans-find-it-difficult-to-move-on-post-trump/ | 2021-02-26T16:38:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178357929.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226145416-20210226175416-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.963328 | 475 | [

We should have updated our basking shark blog before now, but the late summer was beset with various difficulties and delays, not least of which was the poor weather. The calm periods most productive for fieldwork were fewer in number than usual, and inclined to be brief, necessitating sudden returns to port. Nevertheless, we did in the end get some good spells, and eventually the season has produced some exciting results.
To recap on the background, for those unfamiliar with the story, the basking shark is the world’s second largest shark (up to 12 metres long). Like the largest species, the whale shark, it is a plankton eater, but whereas the whale shark is a tropical animal, the basking shark is restricted to cooler waters, occurring in both northern and southern hemispheres. The North Atlantic population was for two or three centuries exploited for its liver oil, and as a result is currently listed by IUCN as Endangered. Over the past 10-20 years however the species has been given increasing protection under both national legislation, notably within the UK and Isle of Man, and under international conventions, such as CITES and CMS. Thus a key question for biologists is whether, given these measures, the North-East Atlantic population remains in decline, or may perhaps by now be recovering?
Since basking sharks only occasionally come to the surface to feed, and do not like other sharks respond to bait, you can’t just count or catch them to see how many there are. However our early work, also generously funded by SOSF, led us to suggest that we could perhaps use the varying features of the dorsal fin, visible above water when the sharks are surface feeding, to recognise as individuals at least a portion of them. Then, in theory, by comparing the numbers of previously unrecorded to previously recorded individuals (and using the data in what are known as mark-recapture models), we would be able to come up with at least a reasonable estimate of the populations using either a particular area, or eventually, a wider region.
Consequently in April 2010 we launched the present Joint Photo-ID Project, planning to use quality photographs of the fins to recognise different individuals. To record basking sharks around the whole of the west coast of the British Isles we have collaborated with three other field teams – Colin Speedie and colleagues based in Cornwall, the Manx Basking Shark Watch (Isle of Man) led by Jackie Hall and Fiona Gell, and the Irish Basking Shark Study Group led by Simon Berrow. In addition it was arranged that we should support the Shark Trust in Plymouth, and its scientific director Ali Hood and basking shark project officer Cat Gordon, in establishing a common basking shark photo-ID database to which the different observer groups could add their data. Now work on the project is bearing fruit. The Shark Trust has its North-East Atlantic Basking Shark photo-identification database operational (members of the public will be able to access it through a dedicated website www.baskingsharks.org). And the Trust has published an impressive glossy booklet (Basking Shark: photo-identification) that both provides background information on the species, and explains to anyone interested can become involved, by taking photographs of any sharks they see, and contributing them to the database.
Now we ourselves, with great assistance from two MSc students, Peter Frey at Heriot-Watt University (near us in Edinburgh), and Gabi Gilkes, based at the Eden project in Cornwall, have completed analysis of the identification photographs that we took in our West of Scotland study area over this last two summers. This approximately 50 x 50 km area covers the west coast of the Island of Mull together with the isles of Coll and Tiree, and so incorporates one of the hotspots in which basking sharks, because of local oceanographic conditions, regularly aggregate to surface feed during summer months. There in 2010 we photographed 242 sharks, and during this past summer a further 210. However on detailed comparison of the photographs we have found that they were of just 154 and 138 individuals respectively – because sometimes the same shark was re-sighted on the same or a subsequent day. But the number actually seen is never the total number present – some will be feeding in areas away from the survey boat, while others will be below the surface. This is where the mark-recapture models come in – by calculating the ratio of new sharks to ones that we have seen already we can estimate the total number likely to be present. The numbers we have come up with are about 1700 for 2010 and approaching 500 for 2011, the lower numbers for this past summer being most likely due to the unfavourable weather.
These numbers it should be stressed are just the approximate numbers making use of our local west coast study area over the period that we were able to carry out survey work – typically a month or so. The total population using the whole west coasts of the Britain and Ireland throughout the summer will be much larger. But this is where working over several years and collaborating with other field teams comes in. We expect to be able to get an increasingly good idea of the size of the overall population by looking for matches, first between sharks recorded in different years, and second between sharks catalogued by the different groups, based as they are in widely separated locations. To date we ourselves have recorded 6 sharks that we had previously photographed in a previous year. The Irish Basking Shark Study group has likewise had re-sightings of sharks that they have tagged in previous years, with coloured plastic tags. The work of looking for matches between years and between areas is ongoing, and we are anticipating the first fruits of this effort with some excitement.
Apart from pursuing research important for an animal’s protection, promoting public awareness of the species and its conservation needs is also vital, if indeed it is to remain protected. With this in mind we have also been supporting plans for a Basking Shark Information Centre on the Isle of Coll, at Breachacha Castle, owned by local fisherman Innes Henderson and his wife Caroline. Innes has been one of the several local people who have provided us with valuable guidance during our fieldwork in the area, and in August this year he and Caroline hosted a BBC film crew which spent 10 days based at the castle, filming local basking shark and recording the work of the project. Their material will be featured in a series about the wildlife of the Hebrides scheduled for broadcasting in about 18 months time, and we hope used to produce a short video for visitors to the exhibition.

Creating a Real Estate Teaser
A teaser content item is a preview of real estate objects. These can be one or more real estate objects. The teasers can be displayed on the start page or in a sidebar and can be sorted in any order.
This plugin uses the following fluid template:
Each real estate teaser element in this template uses the fluid partial:
- Go to to the Seiten module and open the page that you want to create a teaser element for.
- Click on Neues Inhaltselement erstellen in the content area and select plugin type OpenImmo - Teaser.
Under the Plug-In tab you will find the usual Erweiterungseinstellungen. We first want to look at the General tab, which looks as follows:
- Headline: Set a title for your real estate teaser.
- List limit: Set how many real estate teasers you want displayed. If you enter 0 all of the available real estate will be displayed.
- Page for the detail view: Set the page that shows details of the real estate when a visitor clicks on the teaser. If no explicit page is set the system checks to see whether a standard detail page is defined as a TypoScript constant. If so, the real estate details are displayed on that page. If no page has been defined as a constant the system will simply try to display the real estate on the current page.
The Sorting tab allows you to select which real estate will be displayed first - i.e. the sort order.
- Sort by field: Select the sort field.
- Sort ascending/descending: Set sort to ascending or descending.
absteigendwould show the 3 most recent real estate teasers.
You can use TypoScript constants to change the size of the real estate property images. You will need to set two constants (you can find more detailed information about these constants here).
themes.configuration.extension.openimmo.teaser.image.width = 260px themes.configuration.extension.openimmo.teaser.image.height =
These two constants are forwarded to the fluid template via the settings and notify
f:image of the image size. If, as we see above, one of the values is empty, the image size will be proportional to value given. | <urn:uuid:fdcedf24-f6b1-4e64-96b1-bafb6b43fa2f> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.coding.ms/documentation/typo3-openimmo/plugins/property-teaser | 2021-02-26T16:45:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178357929.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226145416-20210226175416-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.740123 | 491 | [

How to Charge a Canon Battery by USB
Whether for your company's summer barbecue, or for a business presentation that requires up to date pictures, at some point you're going to need to use your Canon camera. The worst thing that can happen when you attempt to use your camera is that you could find yourself with low battery power, which means you won't be able to get those photos that would add visual impact to your presentation. In order to get around this, you can charge your battery via USB.
Empty the batteries from your Canon camera. The exact method will vary depending on the type of camera you have, so consult your owner's manual for details.
Connect your USB battery charger to your computer with an USB cable. Make sure your computer is turned on.
Insert the batteries into the charger. In most cases, you'll hear a clicking sound and see a light turn on. This indicates that the batteries are charging.
Remove the batteries once they're finished charging, which is usually indicated by a green light.

Just a short and sweet post for you all today – my two mini hauls:
The first is from well.ca.
e.l.f. BB cream in fair
Milani Baked Blush in Berry Amore
Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Sangria
Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Nude Cream
The second mini haul is from Jean Coutu (a pharmacy here in Quebec) that FINALLY carries Nyx.
I almost squealed out loud in the pharmacy when I spotted the display!
I didn’t have much money with me, so I limited myself to just two things:
Nyx butter lipstick in Pops
Nyx stay matte but not flat powder foundation in nude
Reviews to follow once I’ve has a chance to try everything out!
Thanks for reading and have a beautiful day! ❤ ❤ ❤ | <urn:uuid:c0bc901d-89ca-42d2-b1e2-83c08f62b4b4> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://abrashattitude.com/2015/09/04/mini-haul-x2/ | 2021-03-01T19:01:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362899.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301182445-20210301212445-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.878606 | 185 | [

Smart Finance and Accounting Software Recognized for Standout Employee Engagement
AUSTIN, Texas — May 16, 2019 — ScaleFactor, the smart finance and accounting software that enables businesses to operate in real time, today announced it has been named one of Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces for 2019, the publication’s fourth annual ranking list of workplace environments in the private company sector. This prestigious award comes on the heels of the Austin-based startup’s launch of its second national office in Denver, Colorado.
The Inc. 2019 Best Workplaces list is the result of a comprehensive measurement of private American companies that created exceptional workplaces through vibrant cultures, deep employee engagement, and stellar benefits. Out of nearly 2,000 applicants, Inc. singled out approximately 300 finalists. Companies that prioritize the human elements of the work including employee recognition, performance management, and diversity were identified.
“The culture a company creates is crucial to inspire and empower employees to perform their best,” said Kurt Rathmann, founder and CEO of ScaleFactor. “Creating a productive work environment that boosts employee morale should be a top priority. When a business provides supportive infrastructure, it fosters a setting that enables employees to feel appreciated and encourages them to professionally succeed.”
At ScaleFactor, employee appreciation programs are a core tenet of the company’s culture.
With over 150 employees thus far and rapid growth plans to continue increasing headcount, the company is currently focused on adding community-minded team members with a passion for technology.
“With today’s tight labor market, building a great corporate culture is more important than ever,” said Inc. Magazine Editor-in-Chief James Ledbetter. “The companies listed on Inc.’s Best Workplaces are setting an example that the whole country can learn from.”

Listen to the words of the Great Mother, She who of old was also called among men Artemis, Astarte, Athene, Dione, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianrhod, Isis, Bride, and by many other names.
“Whenever ye have need of any thing, once in the month, and better it be when the moon is full, then shall ye assemble in some secret place and adore the spirit of me, who am Queen of all witches. There shall ye assemble, ye who are fain to learn all sorcery, yet have not won its deepest secrets; to these will I teach things that are yet unknown. And ye shall be free from slavery; and as a sign that ye be really free, ye shall be naked in your rites; and ye shall dance, sing, feast, make music and love all in my praise. For mine is the ecstacy of the spirit, and mine also is joy on earth; for my law is love unto all beings. Keep pure your highest ideal; strive ever towards it; let naught stop you or turn you aside. For mine is the secret door which opens upon the Land of Youth, and mine is the cup of the wine of life, and the Cauldron of Cerridwen, which is the Holy Grail of immortality. I am the gracious Goddess, who gives the gift of joy unto the heart of man. Upon earth, I give the knowledge of the spirit eternal; and beyond death, I give peace, and freedom, and reunion with those who have gone before. Nor do I demand sacrifice; for behold, I am the Mother of all living, and my love is poured out upon the earth.”
Hear ye the words of the Star Goddess; she in the dust of whose feet are the hosts of heaven, and whose body encircles the universe.
“I who am the beauty of the green earth, and the white Moon among the stars, and the mystery of the waters, and the desire of the heart of man, call unto thy soul. Arise, and come unto me, For I am the soul of nature, who gives life to the universe. From me all things proceed, and unto me all things must return; and before my face, beloved of Gods and of men, let thine innermost divine self be enfolded in the rapture of the infinite. Let my worship be within the heart that rejoiceth; for behold, all acts of love and pleasure are my rituals. And therefore let there be beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence within you. And thou who thinkest to seek for me, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knowest the mystery; that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, thou wilt never find it without thee. For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning; and I am that which is attained at the end of desire.” | <urn:uuid:dcd849b7-5717-4b47-9130-9089884e4f1a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://witch-mama.com/2011/10/11/the-charge-of-the-goddess/ | 2021-03-01T18:32:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362899.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301182445-20210301212445-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.925625 | 623 | [

I’ve read all of John’s novels, most notably the Fault in our Stars and Looking for Alaska, but Paper Towns was unexpectedly good. I had no idea that there are actually paper towns on maps. These towns are just sort of place holders; not really towns at all. Quentin Jacobsen has been enthralled with Margo since forever. She’s an enigma and when she mysteriously disappears, he’s left with a convoluted set of clues that seem to lead him everywhere and nowhere. Paper towns are the easiest to find. Paper Towns is a rumpus of a novel, both funny and heartbreaking as many coming of age renditions are.
Wild, by Cheryl Strayed is a gut wrenching memoir I could not put down. Honest and true to the core, Cheryl’s story stays with you long after the reading of it. Cheryl’s journey along a treacherous desert to mountain trail, all the thirteen hundred miles of it, alone, disheartened with life and love and still grieving the loss of her mother, allowed her to focus on the moment. Each harrowing step, each blistering day under a relentless sun or a freezing night under a quilt of stars, brought her closer to redemption, to absolution. Her account is so riveting, so tremulous and my suspension of disbelieve so complete, that I felt her thirst, her hunger and all the aches, pains, blisters and the fear and the absolute aloneness. But most of all, I felt her awe of nature, wild and at once both exhilarating and dangerous. She gave herself up to nature, to fate and in the process, found the missing pieces of herself she’d lost years before. I highly recommend this wonderful memoir, and I recommend reading it before seeing the movie. | <urn:uuid:54cc42cd-ed59-4972-adf7-ccdbc54a5990> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://kathylaurenmiller.com/2015/02/ | 2021-03-03T10:56:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178366959.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303104028-20210303134028-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.965615 | 375 | [

Swedish singer, songwriter, producer, and artist, Shadi G, has gifted us with another soulful sound with her new single titled Goddess Pt. 1. The song was released just recently on October 31st. The song follows a trend of Shadi G’s where she includes sounds and influences from classical music, jazz, R&B, and Persian music. The latter is probably the strongest influence and heard the most in the latest song.
In 2017, Shadi G stepped out on her own and started her own record label, named Goldamin Records. A growing trend by some of the most talented independent artist to take more control over their art and potential. Shadi G’s new single is available and ready to stream on Apple Music and Spotify. | <urn:uuid:62595a46-e8dc-4abc-835e-c55d2af038bb> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://birdcityview.com/2020/11/17/shadi-g-releases-new-single-titled-goddess-pt-1/ | 2021-03-05T00:26:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369553.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304235759-20210305025759-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.974634 | 159 | [

Christ and The Pharisees
The video below shows the speech Senator Susan Collins gave when she explained her reasons for voting for the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. It was a good speech. Collins provided an excellent defense of the legal tradition the requires a presumption of innocence.
Susan Collins’ Strong Speech describes the speech just about the way I would (contains link to a transcript too). As a Conservative I too pray that Collins has underestimated Kavanaugh’s Conservativism, but I doubt she has. Frankly, I expect very few judges at any level on the Federal judicary would overturn same-sex “marriage”, and I suspect there is even less chance any would overturn the Roe v. Wade decision. We usually don’t think of our well off, highly educated elites as being brainwashed, and they are not. Yet they are heavily indoctrinated. To succeed in their professions, they must participate in their indoctrination with great enthusiasm. That should make both them and us wary of the potential for bias in their instruction.
Collins expressed some concerns about our divisions. Here is where she comes closest to an explanation.
We live in a time of such great disunity, as the bitter fight over this nomination both in the Senate and among the public clearly demonstrates. It is not merely a case of differing groups having different opinions. It is a case of people bearing extreme ill will toward those who disagree with them. In our intense focus on our differences, )we have forgotten the common values that bind us together as Americans. When some of our best minds are seeking to develop even more sophisticated algorithms designed to link us to websites that only reinforce and cater to our views, we can only expect our differences to intensify. (from here)
I suppose we would be ill-advised to put too much into those words. Collins sought to explain her vote for Kavanaugh, not to heal our nation’s divisions, but does she grasp the cause for our divisions?
Why do we have strife (James 4:1-5)? Isn’t the answer obvious? It seems that way. Live and let live is an old philosophy for getting along with others. It involves a simple compromise. Live your own way, and let others, your neighbors, live their own way.
So why don’t have a simple compromise that allows us to live in peace? Why do we have law libraries, judges, juries, prisons, policemen, and so forth? Why do we have armies, navies, and air forces prepared to destroy nations? To live, must we literally threaten each others lives and then allow each other to live? Is Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) the only means we have for peace?
Why doesn’t the simple solution work? Doesn’t the Bible provide the best explanation? Instead of loving our neighbors, we love ourselves too much. We are too full of pride, too full of ourselves to care about anyone else.
When we read how Jesus castigated the Pharisees and the scribes (Matthew 23)– the teachers of the law — we must remember that these men were held up in great esteem by the Jews. They regarded them as the best and the most religious among them. Yet Jesus said the works of the Pharisees would not save them (Matthew 5:17-20). They were still sinners. In fact, they were guilty of a grave sin. They had twisted the law, the words of the Bible, to serve themselves instead of the Will of God (Mark 7:1-23).
Because we are a nation of free men and women, we all have the opportunity to behave like the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the scribes — the teachers of the law. When we obey the Bible, our Constitution, legal codes, regulations, traffic laws, codes of conduct, and so forth; we can pretend to obey. We can even pretend that what is written says something it does not. Then, when it seems we have gotten away with our hypocrisies, we can point to precedent and praise the “stability” brought about by our time honored lies. However, as Jesus told the Pharisees, only the truth, not lies, sets us free (John 8:31-36). | <urn:uuid:0214e25f-ee77-42c2-8bf4-fdb0437fb83b> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://citizentom.com/2018/10/07/live-and-let-live-how-could-that-work/ | 2021-03-05T01:07:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369553.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304235759-20210305025759-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.964172 | 893 | [

The Unemployment Insurance Agency (UIA) is now offering telephone appointments for customers with specific claim issues beginning today, Oct. 21.
“We’re excited to offer this additional option for customer service,” said UIA Director Steve Gray. “This new scheduling system is another tool to help us ensure continued service to Michigan’s residents who are facing unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic."
By scheduling a phone appointment, customers will be able to get assistance with issues at their convenience. A customer service agent will call the customers on the designated day and time they choose from the agency’s customer service line – 866-500-0017. Claimants should be prepared to verify their identity with their Social Security Number and Driver’s License/State Identification Number.
Customers can schedule an appointment online up to one week in advance at Michigan.gov/uia for the following issues:
Phone appointments are available Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. – 4:25 p.m. Each appointment is expected to take no more than 20 minutes. While the COVID-19 pandemic has forced local UIA offices to remain closed, this new service expands the agency’s customer service options. UIA expects to schedule up to 800 appointments per day utilizing a dedicated group of customer service agents.
Since March 15, nearly $25 billion in benefits have been paid to 2.2 million Michigan workers. | <urn:uuid:99fc6b11-a5cc-46ba-a81a-0d929e60b3b0> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/0,9753,7-406-98158-542873--,00.html | 2021-03-05T01:55:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369553.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304235759-20210305025759-00441.warc.gz | en | 0.93273 | 318 | [

To get an appreciation of how deep Chuck Berry’s influence went, you just have to look at the royalty of rock&roll and their performances of his music. Here’s a great clip of Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band doing the Berry classic “You Never Can Tell”. It starts off as rock&roll classic and bumps into a Dixieland tribute to the man at the top of the rock&roll food chain. Kick this one to the flat screen, run it through the stereo, and turn it up.

People travel for a variety of reasons. Some for adventure, some for the sights, some to learn about new cultures and some just for the hell of it. I was lucky to find a place that offered a bit of everything in Antigua, Guatemala.
Compared to touristy faves like Mexico City or Cartagena, Antigua isn’t as popular and you won’t find many people who’ve visited, but trust, this isn’t because the city is low on excitement or scenery. In fact, Antigua is a go-to for backpackers and those suffering from the disease that is wanderlust. Every foreign traveler I ran into had either been to 20+ countries or was in the middle of a backpacking adventure through Central America. And after spending a long weekend there, it was easy to see what the hype was all about.
Antigua is located just 45 minutes from Guatemala City which is home to the nearest airport. From the time my cab took off headed for Antigua, I was in awe of how beautiful Guatemala is! Lush hills surround the two-lane highway to Antigua with the roadside littered with colorful flower shops. Home to 37 volcanoes and just as many valleys, the landscape dramatically transforms with each turn of the highway producing sights you only see on screensavers.
I was impressed with Guatemala but quickly fell in love with the country once in Antigua.
Antigua is perfect for a spur-of-the-moment trip due to it being so affordable. There are always flight deals to Guatemala City, not to mention countless direct flights from all major budget airlines (perfect short flight opportunity to try out Spirit, if you’ve been nervous). Airbnbs on average are about $50 a night with hotel prices well below what you see in touristy cities.
In addition to these low price options, the hostel scene in Antigua is second to none. Hostels are scattered throughout the city grid and each has its own unique theme, with common areas rivaling most local hotel accommodations. With fares ranging between $7 – $24, plus the opportunity to meet travelers from around the world, it’s hard to beat.
Food is affordable here too, well below what you’d pay in America with full street vendor meals sometimes costing less than 3 American dollars.
Adventure can most literally be found on every corner in Antigua. From the salsa schools to the speakeasies, to the markets, I almost feel that it is impossible to leave Antigua without having some type of fun.
Guided excursions – also super cheap compared to other cities – open up opportunities for more adventure in Antigua and surrounding cities. While there, I went on two excursions. The first was a hike up an active volcano that ended with a marshmallow roast at the top. Literally a once in a lifetime experience! There are also excursions where you can spend the night on one of the active volcanoes and wake up before the sun rises to see lava spewing bright red, as the sun slowly rises.
The second excursion I took was an ATV ride through Antigua and the Guatemalan countryside. The views were unreal and I’ve never had a more peaceful experience in my life. Rolling through the lush green hills and admiring the countryside was invigorating and energizing.
Outside of those options, Antigua is only a few hours away from Lake Atitlan (search the Instagram location right now) and Mayan ruins, making Antigua the launching pad for the adventure of your choice.
The unique culture of Guatemala was, undeniably, the best part of my Antigua experience. Being that this was my first trip to a Central American country, I was eager to learn what makes this country and city unique from others. Well, the answer sort of slaps you in the face as soon as you get to Antigua.
Antigua still maintains the same style and look that was established in the 15th century. Every street is cobblestone, beautiful churches habitat most corners, and there are no buildings above two or three stories. This gives the city a magical, timeless feel that I haven’t experienced elsewhere.
The native Guatemalans I met were awesome, as well. Eager to teach me about the city, I learned so much from talking to locals. On the ATV tour, I had the opportunity to visit one of the last indigenous villages in the valley (so indigenous, they don’t even speak Spanish) and learned so much about Guatemalan traditions and customs. I was surprised to learn girls in Guatemala are considered adults at the age of ten and become responsible for a lion share of household responsibilities. While their fathers farm and their mothers sell the goods, the older daughters are responsible for looking after the middle-aged siblings and cooking for the entire family which in Guatemalan culture, is traditionally large.
Christianity reigns supreme over the country and Antigua, in particular, holds eight weeks of parades, each in celebration of a different part of Jesus’s life leading up to Easter. Something cool about Antigua is that the Chiquita and Dole plantations are nearby. So, if you happen to buy fruit in a nearby village (which may be casually located next to a pile of dead iguanas used for stews), it is of the same quality as those famous brands, just without the sticker!
All in all, most folks overlook Guatemala and don’t even stop to consider a trip to Antigua. If you are looking for a solo adventure or you want to experience a place many of your friends have not, Antigua is the place for you and there is no chance you will regret it!

Three unique accommodation options
The popularity of apartment developments designed specifically and solely for independent retirees is growing. McCarthy & Stone’s resale apartments are designed to the highest standards and are always in prime locations. Our clients’ needs are our priority, and we carefully ensure every detail has been thought of, from waist height ovens to easily accessible local amenities.
We offer three types of accommodation for you to choose from: Retirement Living for those who enjoy their independence and privacy, with shared social facilities available; Retirement Living PLUS (formerly Assisted Living) for those who need that little bit of extra help and support; and Lifestyle Living for the active over-55s (formally Ortus Homes).
This option allows you to be as independent as you like. Your retirement apartment gives you a quiet, peaceful and secure space in which to enjoy some time to yourself, while the homeowners’ lounge provides a great space for socialising and getting to know your neighbours. And with the House Manager taking care of the day-to-day running of the development, you are free of the burdens of maintaining a property yourself.
Retirement Living PLUS
By choosing this option, not only will you become the owner of a beautiful apartment designed with you in mind, but you’ll receive that little bit of extra help and support you need. Our on-site team is there to make your life easier and is always happy to help, from giving you a hand with your laundry to support with aspects of your daily routine. And with completely flexible support packages, you’ll only pay for the care you actually use.
The concept of Lifestyle Living was pioneered by McCarthy & Stone. Tailored to the over-55s, this option is all about providing stylish private living solutions that are low maintenance. From calming coastal properties to modern city-centre apartments, there is an option to suit all lifestyles and tastes. And with plenty of space for entertaining, without the expense of paying for bedrooms you hardly use, this isn’t downsizing, its ‘rightsizing’. | <urn:uuid:64978f5a-0f0f-4ad5-a8c4-a7c637a1ec0e> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.mccarthyandstoneresales.co.uk/options/ | 2021-03-06T18:05:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178375274.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306162308-20210306192308-00121.warc.gz | en | 0.952876 | 425 | [

We're lucky to have someone like David Attenbourough who cares deeply for the environment and is influential enough to spread the word. Let's get on board, open our eyes and start making some changes in our day to day lives. Watch Blue Planet 2 (BBC) - it highlights the damage that single-use plastics are doing to our oceans. Eight million tonnes of plastic ends up in our oceans every year. But - the word is out, people from all over the world are now stepping up to tackle this catastrophe, and to make it history. | <urn:uuid:d6ff2ce0-5d16-4f29-959d-4d3aaf50d5d1> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.ecofeminii.com/blogs/news?page=4 | 2021-02-25T08:08:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178350846.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225065836-20210225095836-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.950081 | 112 | [

Introduction to Insurance Mathematics
by Annamaria Olivieri, Ermanno Pitacco
This second edition expands the first chapters, which focus on the approach to risk management issues discussed in the first edition, to offer readers a better understanding of the risk management process and the relevant quantitative phases. In the following chapters the book examines life insurance, non-life insurance and pension plans, presenting the technical and financial aspects of risk transfers and insurance without the use of complex mathematical tools. The book is written in a comprehensible style making it easily accessible to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in Economics, Business and Finance, as well as undergraduate students in Mathematics who intend starting on an actuarial qualification path. With the systematic inclusion of practical topics, professionals will find this text useful when working in insurance and pension related areas, where investments, risk analysis and financial reporting play a major role.Please find further information as well as the possibility to order this book here. | <urn:uuid:8ff8802f-3a43-4870-9e94-2ba20e50919d> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://actuarial-academy.com/eaa-series/introduction-to-insurance-mathematics | 2021-03-02T02:30:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178363211.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302003534-20210302033534-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.921849 | 189 | [

So I was pushing with it with the example I gave on deductive reasoning earlier. But there was a point to this – that it does have much to do with the type of subjects and predicates you choose. Here are some mixed examples from here with my commentary:
- All numbers ending in 0 or 5 are divisible by 5. The number 35 ends with a 5, so it must be divisible by 5.
Here we have an abstract system which is completely based on artificial rules. But also will this work in, say, base-6? Why do we assume base-10?
- All birds have feathers. All robins are birds. Therefore, robins have feathers.
Built into the definition of birds is feather. So we have a tautology.
- It’s dangerous to drive on icy streets. The streets are icy now, so it would be dangerous to drive on the streets.
Judgment and a matter of degrees, the kind of tires you may have and who is driving or a combination of these.
- All cats have a keen sense of smell. Fluffy is a cat, so Fluffy has a keen sense of smell.
A matter of degrees.
- Cacti are plants, and all plants perform photosynthesis. Therefore, cacti perform photosynthesis.
Part of the definition of plant so a tautology again.
- Red meat has iron in it, and beef is red meat. Therefore, beef has iron in it.
- Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. This angle is 40 degrees, so it must be an acute angle.
Self defining term.
- All noble gases are stable. Helium is a noble gas, so helium is stable.
- Elephants have cells in their bodies, and all cells have DNA. Therefore, elephants have DNA.
The major premise is reversed with the minor one.
- All horses have manes. The Arabian is a horse; therefore, Arabians have manes.
This is an unusual case with naked foal syndrome but mutations may occur for better or worse. The question remains does a mane define a horse?
Admittedly, this is not the best page for examples. The point though is formal logic is highly restrictive in its use and content. It also says much about language as a medium for communicating truth, particularly when tautological definitions are used. Mathematics seems a better medium but then it is formed upon an abstract system not apply in reality. For this attempts have been made with set theory.
I do not mind enumerative and eliminative induction methods, and probability in the shape of abduction. It only needs to be stated from the outset. Rigour is possible with these if used carefully. | <urn:uuid:515ca2f4-5cc6-4a26-a8cf-2dca206b5861> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://signature103.blog/2020/08/15/so-deductive-reasoning-does-have-its-uses/ | 2021-03-02T02:29:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178363211.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302003534-20210302033534-00161.warc.gz | en | 0.957063 | 568 | [

If you know me in real life I have probably freaked out about this to you about a million times, it’s something I like to call a quarter life crisis, like a mid life crisis, except I’m not there yet. Hopefully. I’ve heard this referred to as a existential crisis as well, however, I made this term up before I really knew what that was. In exactly two months and one day I will be turning 20, approximately a quarter of my life will be completed, and what do I have to show for it? A high school diploma. I’ve spent over two thousand days in school, countless more if you add up the hours spent on homework and studying, and I still have three more years left. In that three years I will decide what I’m going to do for the last three quarters of my life, and after I graduate I will get a job, and I will work for approximately the next fifty years, then I will retire, maybe with a husband, maybe not, maybe I’ll have kids and grandchildren, maybe not. When you think about life this way it’s really unappealing and it makes me ask the question why most of the time, and to be quite honest I think a lot of people my age are feeling this way.
So I go to college about 7 months of the year, and while I’m there I would say the majority of my friends have been on a path since day one, me not so much. I had a path and wasn’t sure, thought some things through, still wasn’t sure, I’m still thinking things through, and I’m still not sure at all, and what I fail to remember is that there are other people like me. There are people like me who know that they don’t want to sit in an office approximately 260 days a year, but they don’t want to teach either, there are people like me who just want to see what the world has to offer them and they aren’t sure how to do it. These people are having quarter life crises, we’re just trying to find our places when everyone else around us seems to know where they’re going. We’re the people who you ask them what their major is and we might just start to cry, because honestly, you can’t major in “seeing the world” there’s no way to make money that way. We’re the people who if you ask them, do you have any plans for after graduation, the stare is blank, although, I don’t know why I should have an answer for that when I’m only going to be a sophomore anyway.
The other 5 months of the year are spent working and seeing old friends and family, the old friends and family that ask us all of the above questions. The jobs and internships supposedly preparing us for what we want to do, when really we just have no clue. We look forward to vacations and weekends because they’re the escape from the madness. Sometimes. Other times they’re just another way into more madness and more stress. The worst is when someone tells you that “you’re really going places!” and you just want to say “Do you know where? Because if you do I’d love to know” but instead you just smile and say “thanks.”. Oh how put together the quarter life crisis can look when that’s what people expect.
My parent chuckle when I talk about this quarter life crisis, but I swear it’s real. I’ve counted the days spent wasted on learning for a standardized test, counted the hours spent studying for the next, and all I’ve gotten from this nearly 20 years of life is a high school diploma. A high school diploma could get me a general manager position at McDonald’s. Maybe. However, no one told me what I could get with a high school diploma, all they told me was what I couldn’t get without a college diploma, and as I’m getting further into my education, what’s next is what I can’t get without a master’s diploma, what’s next? What I can’t get without a PHD? I’ve spent so much time learning and getting an education, and it’s great, and I don’t take it for granted, however, what’s the most useful thing I’ve learned? How to find the length of a side of a triangle? That hippos sweat pink? What causes leaves to be green? What am I going to do with this information? I haven’t learned about mortgages, renting, loans, credit cards, stocks, anything that will help me in the very near future and the fact that I can’t tell you anything about simple life tasks, but I can tell you about different Presidents that had affairs (too many).
I think when it comes down to it, I’m experiencing this existential crisis, quarter life crisis if you will, all because what I’ve done for the majority of my life is learn pointless information that I used for one test, maybe two, but after that I’ve hardly thought about it again and none of this information has helped me to come to any sort of conclusion of what I want to do with my future. Hell, I picked writing because I did well on the writing portion of my ACT’s and it’s not something I hate doing. So maybe a year from now I’ll feel better about turning 21, but maybe I won’t, and I honestly don’t know if that’s okay or not. I’ve grown up in the world of planning for the future, and I don’t have a plan for the future, and I think that’s why so many of us feel so lost because it’s we don’t see it as accepted to not know.
There’s so much pressure to have the next ten years of your life planned to a tee, at least that’s how I feel. So yes, I am 19 years old experiencing a quarter life crisis and I don’t think I’m alone, let me know how you feel about this in the comments, please tell me I’m not the only one! | <urn:uuid:dd02da86-6f70-47c4-af33-e4119f32e55e> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://marysaverageadventures.com/2014/07/19/the-quarter-life-crisis/ | 2021-03-03T14:51:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178366969.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20210303134756-20210303164756-00481.warc.gz | en | 0.964371 | 1,365 | [

Alcoa, which beat analyst expectations on both earnings and revenue when it released its second-quarter earnings Monday, has “bright spots” ahead for the rest of the year, CEO Klaus Kleinfeld told “Nightly Business Report.”
“The U.S. is continuing to grow,” he said. “I think we’re talking about a growth of 2 percent, probably accelerating even in the second half of the year.”
While Europe is “muddling through,” Kleinfeld said he is also optimistic about China.
The aluminum maker, which kicked off earnings season when it reported after the bell Monday, posted a profit of $76 million, or 7 cents a share—excluding the impact of restructuring costs and costs related to a legal matter. Including those items, Alcoa posted a net loss of $119 million, or 11 cents per share. Revenue decreased to $5.85 billion from $5.96 billion a year ago.
(Watch: What to Expect This Earnings Season)
The company also paid down debt of $566 million.
Analysts had expected Alcoa to report earnings excluding items of 6 cents a share on $5.83 billion in revenue, according to Thomson Reuters.
Kleinfled said he sees growth accelerating in aerospace, where the company just expanded with three investments, and automotive, where the company has done two expansions.
“We have been adding jobs in those businesses that grow—automotive, aerospace, even building and construction,” he noted.
(Read More: Earnings: Here We Go Again)
However, there are challenges, like low aluminum prices, which have weighed on business and caused plant closings.
“We are faced with a pressure on the metal price, and in the upstream side, and therefore, we`re taking the respective steps, and curtailing, restructuring and closing plants,” Kleinfeld said.
Alcoa stock has dropped more than 10 percent over the past 12 months and has been the worst performer in the Dow. However, Kleinfeld thinks shareholders will recognize that the company is creating value.
“I believe that we have to concentrate on the things we really can control,” he said.
“We are growing our value at businesses, putting a lot of innovation in there.”

The iOS 11 release date is confirmed for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and it’s scheduled to touch down soon after Apple begins taking pre-orders for its new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
As expected, Apple announced a slew of new products at its fall launch event. Among them, the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone X (also called the iPhone 10), a new Apple Watch 3, and a new Apple TV. The company also used the event to confirm release dates for upcoming software updates which include macOS High Sierra, watchOS 4, tvOS 11, and iOS 11.
iOS 11 is the next operating system for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and it’s set to replace iOS 10 next week.
Apple’s finally announced an official iOS 11 release date and the update will push out to all compatible device starting on September 19th.
This date falls a few days after iPhone 8 pre-orders (September 15th) and a few days before the company releases the iOS 11-powered flagships in the United States and countries around the world (September 22nd).
The iOS 11 release date falls several weeks before the company puts its new iPhone X release date on sale. The iPhone X won’t go on sale until October 27th and it won’t land on shelves anywhere until November 3rd. This is unusual for an iPhone though the iPhone X isn’t your typical iPhone.
Fortunately, owners of older iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch models won’t have to wait until then to get their hands on iOS 11 and its new features.
The iOS 11 update is set to deliver a long list of features, enhancements, fixes, and patches to devices like the iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6, and iPad Pro. The company’s iPad iOS 11 update is particularly robust and features new Apple Pencil features and a brand new dock for apps that sits on the bottom of the home screen.
Other iOS 11 features include upgrades to Siri including voice translation, a new Control Center, screen recording, improvements to various first-party apps including Podcasts and Apple Music, and more.
Apple failed to confirm an official iOS 11 release time on stage though we expect the company to stick with its standard release protocol which calls for a release in and around 10AM Pacific.
The company’s big upgrades are typically plagued with problems as iPhone, iPad and iPod touch owners around the world scramble to install the new software. Those looking to avoid download issues and errors should wait a few hours before installing the iOS 11 update.
One feature iOS 11 won’t have at launch are the new emoji characters Apple confirmed earlier this year. Apple says the new emoji will arrive on board an update later this year which means we should see an iOS 11.1 update land in beta soon after the initial iOS 11 release.

[Dutch Lock Down Day Two Hundred Forty Eight]
And I thought I figured everything out on Friday, but then it occurred to me that I can look at my own bills and bank statements and such and … there really was only one missed payment.
And I have to go to court if I want justice.
But first the news:
- Christmas options limited as infection rate stabilises, Rutte warns
- 5,407 new infections on Sunday, only one percent change compared to last week
A hill that I knew was important to me, but that I didn’t realize I’d rip apart the universe for, is injustice. This is the psychological equivalence of discovering I have big eyes, the better to see you with.
It makes sense, of course.
I have experience with injustice.
I just had no idea it was enough to make me rage against the machine.
And grow big teeth, the better to eat you with. | <urn:uuid:e581dca2-1257-407a-8cb4-192a35d1ed6d> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://groningenrain.nl/an-obscure-update-because-thats-where-we-are/ | 2021-02-25T12:46:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178351134.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225124124-20210225154124-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.967383 | 198 | [

HIV-1 genotypic resistance test (GRT) interpretation systems (IS) require updates as new studies on HIV-1 drug resistance are published and as treatment guidelines evolve.
An expert panel was created to provide recommendations for the update of the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database (HIVDB) GRT-IS. The panel was polled on the ARVs to be included in a GRT report, and the drug-resistance interpretations associated with 160 drug-resistance mutation (DRM) pattern-ARV combinations. The DRM pattern-ARV combinations included 52 nucleoside RT inhibitor (NRTI) DRM pattern-ARV combinations (13 patterns x 4 NRTIs), 27 nonnucleoside RT inhibitor (NNRTI) DRM pattern-ARV combinations (9 patterns x 3 NNRTIs), 39 protease inhibitor (PI) DRM pattern-ARV combinations (13 patterns x 3 PIs) and 42 integrase strand transfer inhibitor (INSTI) DRM pattern-ARV combinations (14 patterns x 3 INSTIs).
There was universal agreement that a GRT report should include the NRTIs lamivudine, abacavir, zidovudine, emtricitabine, and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate; the NNRTIs efavirenz, etravirine, nevirapine, and rilpivirine; the PIs atazanavir/r, darunavir/r, and lopinavir/r (with “/r” indicating pharmacological boosting with ritonavir or cobicistat); and the INSTIs dolutegravir, elvitegravir, and raltegravir. There was a range of opinion as to whether the NRTIs stavudine and didanosine and the PIs nelfinavir, indinavir/r, saquinavir/r, fosamprenavir/r, and tipranavir/r should be included. The expert panel members provided highly concordant DRM pattern-ARV interpretations with only 6% of NRTI, 6% of NNRTI, 5% of PI, and 3% of INSTI individual expert interpretations differing from the expert panel median by more than one resistance level. The expert panel median differed from the HIVDB 7.0 GRT-IS for 20 (12.5%) of the 160 DRM pattern-ARV combinations including 12 NRTI, two NNRTI, and six INSTI pattern-ARV combinations. Eighteen of these differences were updated in HIVDB 8.1 GRT-IS to reflect the expert panel median. Additionally, HIVDB users are now provided with the option to exclude those ARVs not considered to be universally required.
The HIVDB GRT-IS was updated through a collaborative process to reflect changes in HIV drug resistance knowledge, treatment guidelines, and expert opinion. Such a process broadens consensus among experts and identifies areas requiring further study.
HIV-1 drug resistance is one of the main obstacles to the long-term effectiveness of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy. In upper-income countries, genotypic resistance testing (GRT) is performed routinely at diagnosis, treatment initiation, and at the time of virological failure (VF). In lower- and middle-income countries, it is performed in the public health sectors for ad hoc drug resistance surveillance and, increasingly, for managing patients with VF. Interpreting GRT results is one of the most difficult challenges facing HIV care providers because there are many drug-resistance mutations (DRMs) associated with each of the ARV classes. These DRMs have variable effects on in vitro ARV susceptibility and occur in many different combinations.
Decision support systems have become increasingly important for the interpretation of genetic sequences for clinical purposes. Such systems comprise rule-based systems designed to emulate consultation with a subject-matter expert and machine-learning systems that use an algorithm to arrive at an optimized result through the analysis of a large dataset. Machine-learning systems are useful for scenarios in which sufficient amounts of appropriate raw data are available for algorithm training and validation. Rule-based systems are useful for scenarios that require knowledge for which the raw data are either not available or are too heterogeneous to combine in a manner amenable to machine learning. Compared with machine-learning systems, rule-based systems have the advantage of being transparent and educational but the disadvantage of being subjective. | <urn:uuid:1cc18c64-6de9-4421-adaf-20aa5699f7b0> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://chromoscience.com/research-article-collaborative-update-of-a-rule-based-expert-system-for-hiv-1-genotypic-resistance-test-interpretation-2/ | 2021-02-25T13:15:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178351134.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225124124-20210225154124-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.884505 | 1,085 | [

A new transitional sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Early Jurassic of South Africa and the evolution of sauropod feeding and quadrupedalism. 2009. A. Yates, et al. Proc. Royal Soc. B. Published online before print November 11.
Abstract : gen. et sp. nov. is described from the upper Elliot Formation (Early Jurassic) of South Africa. It is found to be the sister group of a clade of obligatory quadrupedal sauropodomorphs (Melanorosaurus + Sauropoda) and thus lies at the heart of the basal sauropodomorph–sauropod transition.
The narrow jaws of A. celestae retain a pointed symphysis but appear to have lacked fleshy cheeks. Broad, U-shaped jaws were previously thought to have evolved prior to the loss of gape-restricting cheeks. However, the narrow jaws of A. celestae retain a pointed symphysis but appear to have lacked fleshy cheeks, demonstrating unappreciated homoplasy in the evolution of the sauropod bulk-browsing apparatus.
The limbs of A. celestae indicate that it retained a habitual bipedal gait although incipient characters associated with the pronation of the manus and the adoption of a quadrupedal gait are evident through geometric morphometric analysis (using thin-plate splines) of the ulna and femur. Cursorial ability appears to have been reduced and the weight bearing axis of the pes shifted to a medial, entaxonic position, falsifying the hypothesis that entaxony evolved in sauropods only after an obligate quadrupedal gait had been adopted.

A drunken mum launched a mid-air attack on her husband.
Sharon Simmonite was refused four glasses of wine on a flight to Liverpool from Majorca when she lost control and attacked her husband.
Police had to meet her on the John Lennon Airport runway after the outburst, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Trouble erupted after Simmonite arrived at the island’s Palma airport.
Her husband, Martin, noticed a change in her behaviour after she disappeared to the toilets for between five and ten minutes.
Having spotted three quarters of a bottle of Sangria in her bag before they left for the airport, he believed she had spent that time drinking the contents - which she denies.
Simmonite then suffered a fall, which led to doctors treating her bruising with ice and taking the decision to give the “upset” and “angry” 46-year-old a tranquiliser.
The family arrived at the airport at around 9pm on the night of April 13.
By 11pm the couple were sat near the back of the EasyJet flight with one of their young children.
Alan Currums, prosecuting, said the defendant was calm until cabin crew began to serve passengers.
He told Liverpool Magistrates’ Court: “The defendant suddenly became alert and attempted to get the attention of a cabin crew member and asked for four wines.”
When the request was refused - staff telling Simmonite they did not serve alcohol - she became angry and accused her husband of telling flight crew not to serve her.
She then left her seat and went to the plane galley, opening lockers before cabin crew stepped in.
Mr Currams said: “Once she got back to them [her husband and child] she began to swear at Mr Simmonite, calling him a ‘f***ing p***k’.
“She then began to hit him to the right arm with a clenched fist. She hit him five or six times.”
Her husband was not injured, but believed she was trying to hit him as hard as she could. Cabin crew, who eventually called police - leading to officers waiting for her arrival in Liverpool, intervened and Mr Simmonite and the couple’s son were moved to seats at the front of the plane.
The court heard Simmonite had been drinking heavily for years and also suffered an eating disorder.
Her husband, who remains with her but is currently living at a different address, told officers she was often verbally abusive and Mr Currams added: “It causes him great upset the matter has come this far but as far as he is concerned, for him and his children’s safety, he believes the defendant needs more help.”
Simmonite, of Hereford Way in Middlewich, Cheshire, admitted being drunk on an aircraft and assaulting her husband.
Paul White, defending, said: “She accepts she was drunk when going to the airport and hadn’t eaten for 10 days throughout the holiday period.”
He said she was an anxious flyer and that she had shown remorse but he questioned why she was allowed to fly considering her behaviour before her flight. Adding she was “clearly a vulnerable woman”, he said she was engaging with her GP and had not had a drink for four days before the court hearing.
Sentencing her to eight weeks in jail, suspended for two years, chair of the bench Paul Walsh told Simmonite: “The offence was prolonged and took place in a confined place, which magnified the effect on other passengers and cabin crew who were having to deal with it. While the court acknowledges that you had some issues this does not excuse your behaviour or make your offences less serious.”
Simmonite was also handed a rehabilitation order. | <urn:uuid:09feeec4-83f8-404e-b986-501522dd8345> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/easyjet-palma-sangria-airport-liverpool-14903259 | 2021-02-25T14:36:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178351134.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225124124-20210225154124-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.991998 | 794 | [

The Alzheimer's Association estimates that there are more than 15 million people serving as caregivers to people with Alzheimer's. The Family Caregiver Alliance states that caregivers are at increased risk for declines in physical and mental health. Furthermore, the Alliance states that women experience worse health effects than men. Finally, an article originally published in the American Journal of Nursing states that caring for someone with dementia causes worse health effects than caring for people with other diseases.
The purpose of this article is to provide 25 tips to help you survive as an Alzheimer's caregiver and avoid some of these negative health effects.
1. Learn what community resources are available: Know where you can get help from the community.
2. Become an educated caregiver: Some useful sites for educating yourself are the Alzheimer's Association and the Alzheimer's Reading Room. Also, attend any caregiving seminars presented in your community.
3. Ask for help - and accept it: Don't be too proud to ask for help. Getting help can make a major difference in your life.
4. Take care of yourself: Try to eat well and exercise regularly.
5. Manage your level of stress: Consider taking a stress management course.
6. Accept changes as they occur: Go with the flow. Your loved one's condition will change frequently.
7. Give yourself credit - not guilt: Make a list of all the things you are doing correctly and look at it frequently.
8. Make legal and financial plans before they are needed: Put your loved ones affairs in order now. Don't wait until it's too late.
9. Visit your doctor regularly: Go to the doctor when you don't feel well and be sure to have all of the recommended health screening tests done.
10. Understand what's happening as early as possible: Read up on Alzheimer's disease so you understand what's happening.
11. Consult a geriatric care manager: Geriatric care managers are specialists who help families care for elderly relatives. They can provide valuable information and resources you will need to help you through these difficult times. Go here for their professional organization's website.
12. Contact the Alzheimer's Association for help: The Alzheimer's Association (www.alz.org) has a 24/7 help line. Just call 1-800-272-3900.
13. Contact the Alzheimer's Foundation of America for help: This organization (alzfdn.org) has a help line operated between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday. Call 1-866-232-8484.
14. Study and put into practice "The Caregiver's Bill of Rights:" You can find this document here.
15. See a psychotherapist: If your stress level is very high or if you are feeling depressed, a therapist might be able to help you.
16. Consult with your spiritual leader: If you are a religious person your spiritual leader might also be able to help you.
17. Join a support group: Support groups can be helpful for Alzheimer's caregivers, even if you just listen in.
18. See a family therapist: If there is a lot of conflict among family members consider seeing a family therapist.
19. Keep a journal: Writing about your experiences and feelings every day can also be therapeutic.
20. Learn how to get along better with your loved one: Here are three quick tips: Don't contradict or argue with them, Don't bring up subjects that might upset them, and if they do get upset quickly change the subject. Following these tips will lead to a better relationship.
21. Take up a hobby about which you become passionate: It's important to have time to yourself. Find a hobby you love. It can make a big difference.
22. Overcome Denial: Quit making excuses for your loved one's memory and functioning problems. Admit to yourself that they have Alzheimer's.
23. Make peace with Alzheimer's: After you admit to yourself the person has dementia it's important to truly accept that fact. Learn to love the person just as he or she is.
24. Make peace with God: If you are a religious person, make peace with God for allowing your loved one to have this disease. Pray and, again, consult your spiritual leader.
25. Spend time with people you love: Being with people you love can help recharge your batteries and will improve your quality of life.
NOTES: Tips 1 - 10 are loosely based on a list from the Alzheimer's Association 10 Ways to Manage Stress and Become a Healthier Caregiver. This article originally appeared on the Alzheimer's Reading Room.

The DII women’s lacrosse championship is one of the younger tournaments in DII sports. There have only been 19 championships claimed to date, with LIU Post defeating West Chester 13-9 in the first-ever DII women’s lacrosse finals in 2001. Since then the Pioneers have become one of four programs to win multiple titles.
Adelphi claimed the 2019 DII women's lacrosse national championship, defeating West Chester 11-5. It was the Panther ninth title all-time, more than any other program in history.
Let’s take a look at the DII women’s lacrosse programs with the most titles.
9 — Adelphi (2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019)
The Panthers are the benchmark when it comes to DII women’s lacrosse, appearing in ten of the national championship matches played and now posting a remarkable 9-1 record over that span after defeating West Chester in the 2019 championship. Their only loss came to Florida Southern at the 2016 DII Festival in a wild 8-7 battle, seeing the Mocs rise as the first (and only) champs outside of the northeast. Adelphi has two separate runs of consecutive championships, most impressively going 57-1 in winning three-straight titles from 2009 to 2011.
4 — LIU Post (2001, 2007, 2012, 2013)
The first national champions in DII women’s lacrosse history have remained a part of the conversation in the 17 years since. The Pioneers won 40 straight regular-season games as part of their 2012 and 2013 championship runs and have never had a losing streak of more than two games in the history of the program. That’s just impressive right there.
2 — Stonehill (2003, 2005)
The Skyhawks looked like they were on the verge of greatness, heading to the national title match three times in a four-year span. Stonehill hasn’t returned since its 2005 victory over West Chester, but Michael Daly’s squads certainly left their mark in the early 2000s.
2 — West Chester (2002, 2008)
The Golden Rams are actually just a few goals away from being up there with Adelphi as the most dominant team in DII women’s lacrosse history. West Chester has been to ten championship matches, including a stretch of five in a row between 2004-08. After its 2019 national runners-up campaign, the Rams have faced Adelphi four times in the finals, but have yet to solve the puzzle of the Panthers. The Rams have only won two total, but their place in DII women’s lacrosse history is as set as any.

Today I will show you how to use Reason's MClass equalizer as a powerful send effect. Everybody knows how to use an equalizer and how to boost or cut certain frequencies. But very few among them know how to use it as a creative tool. Let's get started.
Step 1: Set Up Reason
First of all create a Combinator because we will program it later. Once you have done it create a simple line mixer inside the Combinator. Next right click on the mixer and create a MClass equalizer. It will plug into the mixer automatically and functioning as a send effect.
Next is creating any kind of instrument—your taste. I Created a Subtractor. I load up the Autum preset from the Subtractor's own pad library. Feel free to use another one or spare some time to program a whole new one by on your own. I create an RV7 reverb to give some space and some feeling to the instrument.
The next thing is to create a Malström but don't plug in anywhere yet. And last but not least make a Thor Polysonic synthesiser with same adjustments as the Malström.
So we have the basic rack. Load up any kind of pad pattern and play it here is mine:
Now we have to program our MClass equalizer through the Combinator program section.
Step 2: Programming
First of all we have to enable Parametric 1 and Parametric 2 on the MClass equalizer and set the gain knobs to 10 dB or different amount otherwise you won't hear any effect.
Let's select the Mq2 from the show program menu which just pops up. Let's select Rotary 1 as source and Parametric 1 frequency as target. Set the range between 320 and 845.
So what will this do? It will force the parametric frequency's knob to move between 295 Hz to 1.2 kHz.
Do the same with the Parametric 2 frequency—just adjust the settings to 625-190. So it will moving from 1.9 kHz to 800 Hz. Last, change the parametric 1 Q value between 37 and 104. But the source must be on Rotary 2.
Now the fun part begins.
We shall use the Malström mod envelope to control the rotary 1 and 2 with a predetermined algorithm or pattern. So first we must setup our mod envelopes.
Envelope one must be in sync. The rate is 4/4. The shift knob has to be on 8 and the curve is at 9. Set the envelope's two rate knob to 38 and the "modulator A to modulator B" to 38. Set the curve to 7.
Now let's attach the mod a cable to the Combinator rotary one. Set the Combinator's CV to 78. The mod B has to be plugged in Rotary 2 and the CV amount has to be on 104.
Now start playing any kind of pad pattern. You will hear the Subtractor only because we haven't sent our equalizer to the dry signal. Now set the aux one to 100.
You can hear how the equalizer sweeps through the frequencies and create some interesting effect. And you can clearly see what's going on if you watch the MClass Equalizer. It is definitely visible. But don't stop there create another modulation for example automate the send effect with a Thor LFO.
here how is it sounds like so far:
Step 3: Set Up Thor
We will use the Thor only for modulating so it isn't necessary to attach the audio out anywhere on the mixer.
Lets initialize patch and start programming. Set the LFO 1 waveform to 16 the rate to 3.02 kHz and the delay to 252 Hz. After that lets setup the LFO 2 which will modulate the LFO 1 rate knob. So LFO 2 has to be on 0.43 Hz and the waveform has to be 1.
On the programming section LFO 1 in the source and destination is CV out 1. The amount is 100. The second source is the LFO the destination is LFO 1 rate and the amount is 91.
After do that lets plug the CV 1 to Combinator's Rotary 3 and set the amount to 76.
After that go back the programming section of the Combinator and select the line mixer. After that set the source to Rotary 3 and destination the channel 1 aux send. Set the amount from 77 to 127.
Let's play it again.
You can hear that some kind of weird tremolo effect is affecting our pad.
That's all guys I hope you enjoyed my tutorial. Try out different parameters and watch what happens. Happy music making! Bye!!!

Greenfield HS teacher arrested on 158 felony counts including embezzlement and falsifying doctor's notes.
"Its unfortunate in this case for the public, we do entrust our public school district with money that is funded by the public for the residents. And with this case, it's discouraging for everybody," said Leo Guzman, a detective with King City police.
King City police arrested Greenfield High School teacher Adrienne Lara on 158 felony counts. Those counts include five counts of forgery, 51 counts of embezzlement, 51 counts of theft of public funds and 51 counts of falsifying a doctor's note.
Detectives won't give an exact amount of embezzled funds, but will say it was more than $950, making it a felony.
"That is something that came to light at the investigation earlier. It's very limited what I can share with you. What I can tell is a local public employee that worked for a local school district," Guzman said.
Detectives can't say much about the alleged fake or altered doctors note, but say Lara used them to obtain money illegally.
"Those notes were coming to her employer, and the employer was then paying here for the absences," Guzman said.
It's a case example of 'if you see something, say something.'
"We were contacted by the superintendent of the local school district. It was brought to our attention that some notes that were questionable, so we began the investigation" Guzman said.
South Monterey County Major Crimes notified the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District of Lara's arrest.
The district released a statement, saying Lara, "has been placed on paid administrative lease and will not be on campus while these felony charges are pending. Since this is a personnel matter, the District is not able to provide any additional information to the public. "
District Superintendent Brian Walker, said, "The district has fully cooperated with law enforcement during their investigation, and will continue to do so as needed. In spite of this unfortunate issue, the district remains focused on our primary mission of educating our students."
Detectives also said they believe the teacher acted alone. The case has been passed over to the Monterey County District Attorney's Office. | <urn:uuid:7d5c9c97-a011-4937-aac4-9e86c4bf7f09> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.ksbw.com/article/greenfield-hs-teacher-arrested-on-158-felony-counts-including-embezzlement-and-falsifying-doctors-notes/30785839 | 2021-02-27T01:39:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178358033.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20210226234926-20210227024926-00521.warc.gz | en | 0.977061 | 466 | [
