North Korea says it will deliver “thousands-fold” revenge against the United States over the adoption of tough United Nations sanctions imposed after its intercontinental ballistic launches.
- UN sanctions could cost North Korea a third of its annual export revenue
- Trump wrote on Twitter that he spoke with South Korean President Moon Jae-in
- The Security Council unanimously approved the sanctions on North Korea
The warning came two days after the UN Security Council unanimously imposed new sanctions on North Korea, which could slash its $3 billion annual export revenue by a third.
In a statement carried by state media, North Korea said the sanctions were a “violent infringement of its sovereignty” that was caused by a “heinous US plot to isolate and stifle” North Korea.
It said the UN sanctions would never force the country to negotiate over its nuclear program or to give up its push to strengthen its nuclear capability.
The North also said it would take “action of justice” but did not elaborate.
“There is no bigger mistake than the United States believing that its land is safe across the ocean,” the Korean Central News Agency said.
China’s Foreign Ministry has called on all sides to exercise restraint and make positive efforts to resolve the North Korean issue.
Meanwhile, the Chinese state media has stressed the limits of new United Nations sanctions on North Korea, and also slammed the United States for its “arrogance”, saying Washington needs to understand it also has a role in lessening tensions.
The US-drafted resolution bans North Korean exports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood following Pyongyang’s two intercontinental ballistic missile tests in July.
It also prohibits countries from increasing the current numbers of North Korean labourers working abroad, bans new joint ventures with North Korea and any new investment in current joint ventures.
US President Donald Trump took to Twitter a day after the council backed the new sanctions to announce that he had spoken with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
“Just completed call with President Moon of South Korea. Very happy and impressed with 15-0 United Nations vote on North Korea sanctions,” he said.
In a front-page commentary, the overseas edition of the ruling Communist Party’s official People’s Daily said North Korea’s open flouting of UN rules with its missile launches meant that it had to be punished, but sanctions had to be targeted.
“Sanctions to the greatest possible extent must avoid causing negative impacts to ordinary people and to third countries, and avoid bringing disaster to the country in question’s normal and legal trade and business exchanges with the outside world, people’s normal lives and the humanitarian situation,” it wrote.
“A precision blow is the essential part of sanctions.”
Media player: “Space” to play, “M” to mute, “left” and “right” to seek.
China has repeatedly said that while sanctions need to be imposed, they cannot bring a final resolution to the North Korea issue, which has to be addressed by talks.
China has also called for Washington and Seoul to help lower tensions by reining in their military activities and drills on the peninsula, and by withdrawing the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system.
The influential Global Times, published by the People’s Daily, said in an editorial that the US needed to curb its “moral arrogance over North Korea”.
“The West should be reminded to exercise restraint. If it believes it is only North Korea rather than the US and South Korea as well to blame for the nuclear issue, this ill-fitting mindset will not help solve the crisis,” the strongly nationalist publication said.
“The US should aim for peace and co-existence rather than geopolitical dominance.”

Early this morning I posted the Nine and now an official version has arrived online dubbed the “Cinema Italiano” trailer, which uses Hudson’s singing of the song throughout.
The one thing I notice is the black-and-white scenes appear extremely grainy as the whole film looks to have been shot on digital high-definition. It will make for an interesting mixture on the big screen.
I have included the complete trailer directly below and added 15 new screen captures to our gallery right here. Enjoy and let the world know your thoughts in the comments below.

Fish En Papillote
I’ve been super busy the last few weeks so I have been looking to make dinners that are quick and easy with very little clean up. This one is perfect because the fish does the cooking inside of a parchment paper pouch (hence the “en papillote”) so clean up is as easy as tossing it in the garbage! Lots of julienned veggies get piled on tilapia filets and then topped with sprigs of thyme, lemon slices, a splash of wine and a pat of butter all rolled up into small pouches. This is great because it’s steamed making it a light option for cooking fish but it also holds onto all that flavor!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Start by julienning all of your vegetables: one medium cooking onion, one zucchini and 2 carrots. Toss in a large mixing bowl with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic and season with salt and pepper.
Next, place 4 tilapia filets on their own large square of parchment paper and season both sides with salt and pepper to taste. (I thought these could have used an extra kick of something, so I’d suggest also adding some red pepper flakes or some old bay seasoning). Top each one with an equal amount of the veggies then top each with a couple sprigs of thyme, two lemon slices, a tbsp of dry white wine and a pat of butter.
Fold your parchment in half over the fish and roll down the top until you reach the butter, then tuck the ends underneath tightly. This is the most important step because if you don’t wrap them tight enough, steam will escape and your fish will not cook.

When my sister told me she was coming to visit for a week, I knew we had to go sailing in the San Francisco Bay. I’ve been to Alcatraz and saw how breathtaking this city is from the water. I headed over to Cloud 9, booked a sunset cruise on a catamaran and started dreaming of our sailing adventure.
She brought along her boyfriend, so this evening made for the most wonderful double date. After work (and a day of exploring for my sister and her boyfriend) we all met by the sea lions on Pier 39 to board the catamaran. It was a bit chilly that day and I quickly snuggled into my sweater.
After an introduction and stories about soaking guests who stood too close to the railing, our captain slowly pulled out of the harbor and into the Bay. Note: I’m pretty sure the captain’s personal mission/joy in his job is to soak as many guests as possible during a ride. He seemed to really love riding right into big waves. When he tells you to watch out, he really means it! We all got soaked with one big wave before we took him seriously (and it was so much fun)!
Starting at Pier 39, we sailed out to Alcatraz and around to the opposite side of the Bay, slowly making our way under the Golden Gate Bridge. By this time we’ve each had a beer and some snacks, and were feeling good. The deck had also dried off from that big wave and the four of use huddled close together at the front. A lot of people were staying below deck, which is warmer, but not nearly as fun.
At this point, you’re close enough to see the Golden Gate Bridge among the hazy sunset. No matter how many times I meet her, she always takes my breath away.
Jobs fill your pockets. Adventure fills your soul.
While we were sailing under the bridge, some folks up above waved to us. Neat little moment. And with that, we were out and into the open bay. Our captain slowed down, pointed out towards to ocean and told us to look for whales. As a group from the Midwest who has spent minimal time on the ocean water, the idea of spotting some whales was a huge surprise to us. I think I squealed when we saw our first spout and after about 20 minutes of spotting spouts here and there, we got close enough to a couple of whales to see their tails pop above and into the water! We weren’t expecting whale watching on this cruise whatsoever. A huge, amazing bonus to this already wonderful cruise.
By this time, after over an hour on the open Bay water, I was getting really chilly, so Robin hugged me close and we watched the sunset behind the bridge as we sailed back to shore. Finding this cruise with Cloud 9 was the highlight of my sister’s trip out here. We could have spent the evening out to dinner, but this experience was 100% better and is something we’ll both share and remember forever. If you’re visiting or living in the Bay Area, I highly recommend checking Cloud 9 out and booking this sailing adventure, or another experience that catches your eye! After all, jobs fill your pockets, but adventure fills your soul.

Hoeven Announces Nearly $3 Million to Turtle Mountain Housing Authority From CARES Act
BISMARCK, N.D. – Senator John Hoeven, chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs and a member of the Senate Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Committee, today announced that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded $2,992,568 to the Turtle Mountain Housing Authority in Belcourt. Today’s grant comes from the Indian Community Development Block Grant (ICDBG) Imminent Threat funding made available through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act and will be used to construct modular housing units in the community in response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic.
“As Turtle Mountain continues responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency, today’s funding from the CARES Act will provide resources and support the tribes’ efforts to provide housing and shelter for families and individuals,” said Hoeven.

In recent years, the U.S. has experienced a trend toward the increase of "late life" or "grey divorce"; both terms referring to divorces involving those in their fifties or older. Many of the typical issues faced by separating and divorcing couples take on a unique, or even more urgent, character when faced by those in "grey divorces", including:
- Limited time to earn; create assets; increase existing assets;
- Support/cash flow during retirement;
- Maintaining the current home/use of reverse mortgages;
- Required distributions from retirement assets;
- Maximizing Social Security benefits;
- Difficulty obtaining medical insurance coverage/transition to Medicare;
- Custody and support issues involving adult disabled children and grandchildren.
Mediation and Collaborative Practice are particularly suited to the resolution of the unique issues facing those in "grey divorces", without the devastating financial and emotional toll of litigation. Mediation and Collaborative Practice allow parties to create an amicable resolution, designed especially to meet their individual needs and goals. | <urn:uuid:76a11b7a-070f-471a-8478-a38ac157e438> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.reeselawoffice.com/grey-divorces.html | 2021-03-07T03:28:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376006.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307013626-20210307043626-00201.warc.gz | en | 0.945509 | 217 | [

Although the following story uses the names of actual people and is set in an actual town, the one I live in come to think of it, any resemblance to people and places real or imagined is unintentional.
I made this story up, in other words. Everything that happens is fictional. Obviously some parts get a little touchy, that’s to be expected. I use the character name “Ferdinand Rojo,” there’s one example, and that’s also the name of a real person, a former friend of mine, though everything that happens to him in the story is of course fictional. Any resemblance is unintentional.
But okay, Ferdinand maybe did sleep with Erica one time and Erica did kick him in the giblets the next time she saw him; that maybe happened more or less like it does in the story you’re about to read.
What I want to say is: let’s not get all dramatic about this fiction/non-fiction divide in every single instance. It’s basically all made up and that’s all you need to know. Outlandish rhetorical flourishes, overwrought narrative conceits, far-fetched scenarios, it’s all here. If you really dig into it, you get a sense the sequence of events is a bit chip-choppy too. On purpose, of course.
You want another ‘for example,’ I can tell. Fine. It’s like, there’s that third section, you’ll get to it after the digression about erotic lederhosen, where I have the “character” Katherine lying all akimbo on a couch in her house. She’s listening to George Harrison on vinyl and thinking of a man she longs for, twirling “brunette lengths of hair in her fingers,” first staring at the ceiling, then closing her eyes, knees bent, imagining her and him lying there and listening together.
But that, that right there. That’s one of those fictional devices I’m talking about.
It Was Her Apartment. Not a house. Katherine’s 29 and single. Christ, she works for a non-profit. You think she can afford a house?
Oh, and there’s this great part too, I was up hours right-clicking for just the right synonyms, where I have “Ferdinand” “very slowly leaning down to grab his socks and five-notch belt, wincing at the timid creak in the floor his lanky movement makes [lanky!], peeking to stare perhaps a moment too long at Erica’s perfectly French-curved hips holding the sheets over her body” before tip-toeing “cat-burglar-like” out of her apartment that next morning (an apartment she of course shares with Katherine—you think Katherine can afford even that walk-up herself?).
Don’t be dim, people. This whole passage? Total fabrication. Made up. Untrue. At least, kind of untrue-ish. But definitely over the top with adverbs. That’s a shload of stupid adverbs. Resemblance unintentional!
So what I’m saying is, that night when Erica saw Ferdo from across the bar and walked up to him to “pull back her leg ready to uncork it on an unsuspecting man’s nether region,” I’m not even sure that makes sense. It’s hilarious, obviously, “nether region.” But it never happened like that. Not exactly.
And oh, oh, please, like this is just any woman’s leg and not the Goddess Erica’s. Holy mother, she’s toned. You add that to her independence, her humility, her sense of justice? I’m in awe from date one. I’m talking to Ferds over Tanq and Tonic back at our place after every one of those dates, la-dee-da-ing about this stunning woman, feminine but not girly, poised but not arrogant, so that to think of her and her leg as anything but the most gentle example of inherent beauty, not a weapon to be aimed at Ferdo’s shriveled dice bag, that’s a crime greater than fictionalization.
“Uncorked.” God bless. And anyway, what the hell lies did Ferds tell Erica that night? And what was she thinking? You can’t blame her for crotch-kick retribution, I’ve got no bone to pick with that—and she hit him dead on, it was like… Thud! Bam! Drop! What I can’t figure is, how did it get to that? That’s the real story. That’s the kind of interior detail that’d turn this (I’m expecting) Pushcart Prize contender into a crackling mystery right quick.
You better damn hope she wasn’t sucked into that pompous humanitarian bullshit, because you know Ferds is a blowhard incapable of commitment, right? Yes yes yes, he worked in South Africa with that NGO for six months, and we all thought it was damn near heroic. Whoop-dee-doo. He did grad school in wildlife science for two years and we oohed and ahhed at the maturity of it. Really helping the native birds of Zambuca, we get it. Oh, Ferds, such passion, oh Ferds, what a stand out, oh Ferds. Give me a fuckin’ break. He got all of us in on the local farm deal, renting the land and starting that CSA and brokering the deal with the farmer’s market council, and then what? Then we’re shin deep in Swiss chard and he bails on us to take that internship in DC.
Come on. She should’ve punched him in those Br’er Rabbits after she kicked him after he showed up at our bar that next night.
Because you know what? No, no, fuck this. Fuck him. “Katherine” wasn’t listening to All Things Must Pass on LP, staring at the ceiling, quietly singing along and imagining what could be, with him. That was Erica! But you see what I did there? I mixed it all up, and you’ll have no idea when you read the story. Idiots.
Don’t you think I stare at the ceiling too, thinking of happiness that might’ve been? Don’t you think “What is Life” comes on and there’s the line about how my “love is there for you any time of day,” and you accept the feeling that there’s something enchanted and holy and mystical connecting me and her, but then this whole thing with AssFerds the canker blight goes down right after we’re “thinking things out” and over the next months you start to focus on the album’s title, All Things Must Pass, and wonder which side to fall to? Is it that her love is there for me any time of day? Or is it the other way, that all things must pass, that you’ll get over this?
One lasts, the other fades. One is an opening, the other a closing.
Oh, fiction, you fucker. | <urn:uuid:8504fc5a-bed5-4207-863b-6087aeb05b3a> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-have-a-few-disclaimers-about-my-new-short-story | 2021-03-08T19:19:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178385389.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20210308174330-20210308204330-00521.warc.gz | en | 0.952644 | 1,587 | [

I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. Since you’re likely busy with something or other, I’ll keep this week’s Dear Mark fairly brief. It’s a grab bag of questions again, beginning with a reader’s query about the grass-fededness (yep, that’s a word) of Australian lamb. Is it reliably pasture-raised, or are Australian producers beginning to load their lamb up with grains? Then, I discuss the efficacy (or not) of bathing in Epsom salts. Does the magnesium get absorbed, or doesn’t it? What about sea water in general – does spending time in it offer anything but a good time? Finally, the spectre of CLA supplementation arises yet again.
We were just wondering what your opinion was on grocery store bought lamb meat. The wife and I are new to a paleo lifestyle (a few weeks) and just recently purchased your book a week ago and are reading up on your PB. We are loving the difference this has made already in our lives. We have phased out regular beef for grass fed beef and made many other good changes. However, I can’t find a definitive answer regarding lamb meat online. It’s currently my view that since just about all of the lamb we buy comes from Australia then it must be grass fed by default. Just wondering if I’m wrong on this and what your opinion is.
Thanks and have a Great Day!
According to the North American regional office of Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA), which as far as I can tell supplies all the Australian lamb available in the United States, Australian lamb is “all-natural, grass-fed, pasture-raised and free of artificial additives and hormone growth promotants.” The only exception is during a drought, when “local feeding may, by necessity, be temporarily supplemented with grain, usually wheat and/or oats until the drought is alleviated.” Sounds nice, except when you realize that Australia has been subject to a decade-long drought which only recently ended.
I also came across this interesting page on the Sheepmeat Council of Australia’s website entitled “National Procedures and Guidelines for Intensive Sheep and Lamb Feeding Systems.” Note that these are “intensive” feeding systems, which tend to mean grain-feeding. It’s pretty tough to intensively feed a ruminant on grass, because grass simply doesn’t have enough energy density to qualify. They link to the PDF, and it’s pretty clear that Australian lamb is regularly receiving grain supplementation.
In lieu of full disclosure from the producer or vendor, you can usually tell if lamb has been grain-fed for a significant part of its life by examining it. Fully grass-fed lamb will be deep red, bordering on purple. The meat will be firm, not squishy. It’ll be leaner than grain-fed (but not “lean,” necessarily), and its fat should be a bit yellow or off-white; grain-fed fat will be closer to pure white due to the lack of carotenoids in the diet. Taste will also tell the tale. The firmness of the meat should shine through when you bite into it. It should be “cohesive” in your mouth, if that makes sense, like a solid piece of well-worked muscle (since that’s what you’re eating, essentially). Grain-fed will be more porous.
You can also compare the Australian lamb to New Zealand lamb, which (as far as I’ve been able to discover) is always grass-fed.
Tons of sites talk about epsom salts and if you do a search on MDA there are tons of user comments on how they use epsom salts in the comments section after your articles. I’m curious on what your thoughts are. I assume that if Grok often lived by the ocean and ate salty sea creatures he must of spent a considerable amount of time in that salty water. Is there any benefit to regular dips in salty water?
Thank you! Peter
Yeah, there are absolutely huge benefits to immersing yourself in salty water (preferably sea water) many of which have been explored in clinical trials. Let’s take a look at some of them, shall we?
Bathing in Dead Sea salts, also called Tomesa therapy, improved the skin health of patients with psoriasis and normalized the levels of Langerhans cells (a kind of macrophage that helps with tissue healing and can get out of control in certain skin diseases). A bath in regular sodium chloride (salt) had no effect. Another study found that magnesium-rich Dead Sea water improved skin hydration, skin barrier function, and reduced skin inflammation in atopic dry skin.
Bathing in the Dead Sea had a positive effect on patients with both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis by reducing inflammation. In osteoarthritis of the knee, a two week Dead Sea bath treatment resulted in a 3-month abatement of symptoms. A recent literature review concluded that the Dead Sea makes for an effective resort for patients with various types of joint ailments.
Also interesting is the effect on type 2 diabetics. A single immersion in the waters of the Dead Sea lowered blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetics.
Ben Greenfield reviewed the benefits and efficacy of magnesium bath salts in a post from last year. Myself, I can vouch that topical magnesium does “something.” I’ll occasionally spritz a few pumps of magnesium oil onto my body before bed or after getting out of a shower or bath, and my skin tingles and I tend to have really vivid dreams that night. The rib cage area seems to be the best spot for application. I always like to keep a sack of Epsom salts around to add a little magnesium to my bath, too.
And of course, my favorite way to bathe in sea salts is to swim in the actual, real ocean. It certainly has evolutionary precedent, as you mention above.
I have synthesized the primal lifestyle with the protocols of leangains and intermittent fasting. The results have been great and make me feel awesome. I lift all the heavy weights and sprint, although I admit I don’t move around as much as I should.
However, I have been taking a CLA supplement for at least a year or two now. It is supposedly derived from safflower oil and I typically take about 2-3 per day with meals. I know getting CLA from dietary sources is preferable but buying all the organic and grass fed meat is difficult with my budget (I still always buy organic eggs). I was wondering if taking the supplement while eating conventional meat was still headed in the right direction. Any insight on the subject would be much appreciated.
Thanks a bunch and keep doing what you do! Karson
CLA supplements sound like a good idea. Grass-fed dairy and ruminant meat are expensive, and part of the reason we like them so much is the conjugated linoleic acid, so why not just take the CLA and eat regular meat and dairy?
As I explained in a previous post, not all CLA is created equal. The kind that’s produced in ruminant stomachs – and the kind that you’re generally going to encounter in the wild, in naturally-occurring foods – is primarily cis-9, trans-11, with a tiny bit of trans-10, cis-12. The kind that’s produced from safflower oil is primarily trans-10, cis-12. Okay, but does that really matter?
Oh yeah. See, the trans-10, cis-12 CLA actually appears to perform really well in clinical trials. It abolishes fat mass and increases lean mass, which generally correlates well with improved health overall. That’s what you’d think, at least. But no – this time, the people (and mice) who lose the body fat and increase the lean mass, who experience the “benefits” of safflower-derived CLA do so by shunting all the fat toward an organ you definitely do not want to fatten up: the liver.
I would avoid CLA supplementation. It might be okay, provided you stick with small doses (2-3 per day sounds like a fairly small, inoffensive dose), and it might be even better if you took a CLA supplement that mimicked the ruminant form, but I don’t think it will do you any favors. If you’re going to insist on taking them for an extended amount of time, I would get regular liver function tests to ensure you’re not doing any harm.

Unique Approach to Customer Satisfaction part 1
What Goes Around, Comes Around
Our travel experiences are amazingly
similar, whether on a big or small plane, and no matter
which the airline.
The airlines say this is
due to competition. But maybe it is due to
lack of competition.
In most industries, a key
ingredient in the success of each business is its relationship
with its customers. The more loyal and content their
customers, the more successful the company.
And then there are the airlines.
Have you ever encountered any other industry that hates its
customers so much?
More to the point, have you ever
encountered any other industry that can safely and without
consequence mistreat its customers so egregiously?
Why are the airlines so different
to the rest of the world? Do customer relations really truly
not make any difference at all to the airlines and their
profitability? Is there anything we can do to change this?
Part One of a Two Part Article Series
Please note this is the first part of a
two part article on this topic.
There's a link at the bottom of this
part to take you on to part two where we cite
facts and figures in support
of our contention that the airlines don't care about customer
service because they experience no consequences from providing bad
'I'll Never Fly That Airline Again!"
Maybe you yourself, after a particularly
egregious example of poor customer service, have resolved never
to fly a particular airline, ever again, under any
If it isn't something you've resolved yourself,
you for sure know someone who refuses to ever be seen on an
airplane belonging to the airline that aroused his ire.
And whether it be you or someone else, the
chances are that you are genuinely withholding your business, for
at least some period of time, and you're also going out of your
way to discourage friends and colleagues from patronizing that
You know, from mentally adding up the
tickets you're not buying from the offending airline, that you are
costing them thousands of dollars. Multiply that by other
similarly upset former customers, and surely the airline must be
losing many millions of dollars a year from activist customers
such as yourself? Doesn't that mean the airlines should be
more sensitive to their customers and how they treat them?
But does this make any difference at all to
the airline? One clue as to the answer to that question is
provided by the complete indifference shown by the airlines to
their customer losses - clearly the airlines themselves don't care
if you abandon them.
Why is this - an attitude so much at odds
with most of modern western business practice and ethics?
Customer Service - Essential in Modern
We all know that one of the modern day
tenets of business success is 'the customer is always right' and
the associated imperative need to give excellent customer service.
One of the things that defines both Costco
and the Nordstrom Department Store chain is their
no-questions-asked approach to returns. Bring anything back
at any time, used or unused, with or without receipt and with or
without original packing, and you'll get a full refund.
These two companies are outstanding
business successes. Clearly their refund policies and
generally excellent customer service standards have not hurt them
at all - quite the opposite.
This is a very short section of this
article, because the concept of customer service is so obvious and
so universally accepted.
The Airlines - A Clear Exception to this
You can see similar examples of customer
service excellence, and the positive impact it has on the company
providing it, in many other
aspects of our lives. But when you start looking at the
airlines, you'll look until you're blue in the face for anything
approaching these standards.
No questions asked refunds of unused
tickets? Full value refunds of partially used tickets?
Or how about even the ability to change a
ticket without penalty?
How can Nordstroms let you bring back a
dress and swap it for a different one at no penalty (a courtesy
with a clear cost associated with it), but an
airline refuses to let you swap a ticket for traveling on this
flight for a ticket traveling on that other flight (a change that
costs the airline almost nothing to allow)?
And that's just the start of the ugly
experience that envelopes us whenever we choose to travel
somewhere. Rude or no service at all when we check in,
delays and cancellations, unfair and outright dishonest fees and
charges, the requirement to waste huge amounts of our time
checking in hours before a flight, the lack of comfort on planes,
their rude staff, and so on all the way through to finally
retrieving your baggage (which hopefully didn't get lost or
destroyed) and leaving the airport at your destination.
The current example at United
The most recent example of an airline that
seems to totally not care at all is the merged United/Continental.
With now almost a month of appalling
problems flowing from a very poorly executed transition from two
different computer systems to one unified system, the only
communications from the airline have been ones to inappropriately
claim the transition has been a great success - a version of
reality that is completely at odds with that being suffered by
many of their most valuable customers (ie the highest yielding
most frequent travelers).
Why is United so complacently doing nothing
to assuage the massive unhappiness that its most valuable
customers are currently feeling? Does it not care?
Does it feel its customers are captives and unable to shift their
business to another airline?
Negative customer attitudes pervade all levels
Although this is the most recent example of
complacency that clearly flows from the very top of the airline
down to the lower levels; we also see it at every other level of
an airline's operation.
The rude flight attendant who treats you
like dirt. A string of excuses/lies about why a flight is
being delayed and then cancelled, together with a refusal to allow
you to transfer to a more convenient flight (perhaps on another
airline) as soon as the scheduled flight starts to get delays.
The baggage handler that treats your suitcase as if it were
indestructible. The pilot who instantly sides with his
flight attendants, even though he really truly knows they are in
the wrong, and offloads a passenger who dared to complain at being
friendly fun 'tell all' book written by a flight attendant who
makes a (second) living out of being a nice friendly person shows
a generally negative attitude to her customers.
The truth is there's almost no-one,
anywhere in the airline, from the tarmac, to the cockpit, to the
concourse, to the C-level suite, who really cares about the
One has to believe that airline executives
aren't totally completely stupid. So why hasn't any airline
executive decided to make his the 'good' airline and to apply
basic principles of customer courtesy and care?
Here's the reason why.
The Airlines' Rule of Customer Disservice -
What Goes Around Comes Around
The situation is simply this. When
you swear off (let's say) AA for ever after a bad experience, you
go and give your business to (let's say) DL instead.
But, truth to tell, DL is far from perfect
either (and for that matter, AA isn't 100% venal). So, more
or less coincident with you leaving AA and switching to DL, some
other unhappy traveler leaves DL and goes to (let's say) UA.
To continue the picture, someone also gets
upset at UA and goes to US, while US in turn has someone leave
them and switch to AA.
So - what just happened? Basically,
nothing at all. Each airline lost a customer, and each
airline gained a customer. Net result - nothing.
As long as the airlines all maintain a
similar standard of good or bad service, they're going to more or
less keep their market shares, even though the people who make up
those market shares will shift and change over time.
As we know, the airlines slavishly copy
each other in almost every respect. Luggage policies?
Change fees? Fares? Frequent Flier Programs?
Seat size and pitch? You name it, there's precious little
difference between any airline and any other airline.
The Similarities Between Airlines Are Not
Caused by Competition
A big lie the airlines seek to perpetrate
is that the similarity between the airlines is due to competition
creating a level playing field. That is nonsense. It
is lack of competition that has created identical generic
Think of any truly competitive field - the
different products are profoundly different rather than all
exactly the same. Imagine if all breakfast cereals came in
the same size box, had the same ingredients, color, and flavor,
and were sold at the same price?
Imagine if all cars were identical in size
and shape and features and price. If all clothing was
And so on, through just about every other
aspect of our lives. This is simply because we, ourselves,
are all different too, and so successful competitive businesses
cater to our different preferences, price sensitivities, and so
on, by creating different products, each addressing a 'sweet spot'
in the market.
so slavishly copying each other does not show competition, it
shows a resolute lack of competition (and lack of imagination).
Perhaps the airlines are terrified of competition,
because each airline secretly feels inadequate, and fears that if
real competition came along, they would lose out to the competing
airline. They'd rather keep and protect what they have than
risk losing it in an attempt to try and get more through real
And so any time a potential competitor does emerge,
the established airlines 'compete' in the only way they know - they drive fares down
to massively unprofitable levels, they schedule flights at the
same time as the new airline, and they starve the new airline out
As soon as they've done that, everything
goes back to normal. Fares go back to their previous levels,
new flights are removed, and so on.
The Swings and Roundabouts of Lost Customers
Whether formal or informal, it seems the
airlines have a sort of unwritten agreement - 'We won't rock the
boat if you don't rock the boat either', and perhaps the most
obvious reason for this and outcome from it is the present
situation where 'what goes around, comes around' - the outraged
passengers each airline loses today are replaced by one of the
other airlines' outraged passengers tomorrow.
It is a zero sum game, in other words.
What the airlines lose in the 'swings' they make up in the
An Attempt to Prove or Disprove this Theory
Okay, so it sounds almost unbelievable,
doesn't it, that the airlines deliberately choose to ignore the
generally accepted western free market business practices of
caring for their customers.
But let's look at the facts. They are
unchallengeable and seem to bear this out.....

The primary traffic focus are those problem areas that present a history of crashes and injuries.
The purpose is to try to reduce crashes and injuries thereby improving traffic safety.
Our secondary focus is on residential areas, particularly where we have documented complaints on file. Forces that affect our attention to these areas are time, manpower, availability and calls for service.
If you have a concern about a traffic problem in your neighborhood or business area, we have several means for addressing the problem.
- Speed Display Trailer - This device will show the speed of approaching vehicles on an electronic display. It serves as a passive reminder to motorists. We usually do not use this device in very inclement weather, overnight, on the freeway system or in an area that will not allow a safe place to deploy it so it does not interfere with traffic.
- Stealth Stat Computer - This device allows us to perform studies of vehicle speeds, and statistical analysis into time-of-day traffic patterns. These studies are usually conducted midweek for a minimum of 48 consecutive hours.
- Neighborhood Personal Message Sign - Temporary signs that are about the size of the average political campaign sign are placed on your front lawn or other area not within the highway right of way. They have a safety related message such asking motorists to slow down, warning motorists of children in the area and thanking motorists for driving safely. They are provided free of charge by Neighborhood Watch. | <urn:uuid:08227f60-8254-4e66-8ba3-078d78483691> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.menomonee-falls.org/347/Handling-Traffic-Problems | 2021-02-27T06:06:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178358203.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227054852-20210227084852-00241.warc.gz | en | 0.948812 | 284 | [

In connection with COVID-19, Anexia already decided last Tuesday, 10.03.2020, to take radical measures to deal with the current situation. For this purpose, a dedicated COVID-19 crisis squad was installed to assess the situation 24/7 and derive appropriate measures. As Anexia is listed as operator of critical infrastructure in Austria and Germany, Anexia sites are subject to extended protection.
Due to the forward-looking and intensive preparation for this, Anexia is very well prepared for this situation in all respects. On the following pages you will find further details.
Anexia operates an extensive risk management within the framework of ISO9001 and ISO27001. In addition to the existing regulations within the framework of the Anexia crisis management, 78 further measures were developed and instantly implemented.
Anexia has taken numerous technical measures to be prepared for a variety of eventualities. The following list shows the most important technical measures in this context.
The Anexia Cloud Platform basically has sufficient capacity in all core locations. In the course of the risk assessment Anexia has taken further measures to ensure the security of supply.
Anexia operates around 100 international server locations. Due to the varying spread of the coronavirus, the current situation is not the same at all locations. You can find a site-specific analysis on our status page.
At each of our international locations we are in continuous contact with the local operators and already tested and assessed the remote hands capacities.
At the moment our locations in Italy (Milan and Palermo) are subject to restrictions. Due to the strict curfews in those areas, remote hands are only available for acute outages. At all other locations, no restrictions are known as of yet.
Anexia is classified as an operator of critical infrastructure in Austria and Germany. This means:
We are supplied with all information relevant for Anexia and the protection of our infrastructure – and therefore also the infrastructure of you as a customer – is secured.
The current situation is challenging every one of us – worldwide. Stability, reliability and trust are essential components in this special time to weather this crisis. Situations like this one bind us together – regardless of whether Anexia is an employer, partner, supplier or customer. We only get through this crisis together, independently, in which constellation you are working with Anexia.
Please stay healthy – we will continuously update you here and are caring 24/7 for the technical basis, that is urgently needed by many of you now, in the background. | <urn:uuid:19dfe8f4-1e85-422f-a535-9a4bd90f9101> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://anexia.com/blog/en/covid-19-and-anexia/ | 2021-02-28T18:43:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361723.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228175250-20210228205250-00561.warc.gz | en | 0.947744 | 530 | [

When Netflix announced that a prequel to Baahubali will be streamed on the portal movie lovers got excited. Season 1 was supposed to be based on the life of Sivagami, one of the most powerful characters of Baahubali series. It’s been almost 2 years since Netflix made this announcement and even Deva Katta admitted co-directing the series along with Praveen Sattaru. But there’s been no update about the project and speculations rose that it has been shelved. With movie lovers watching interesting web series all over the world, this would have been an ideal time for Netflix to release this series (If at all it is still on the cards). And as lovers of Baahubali franchise, we would like a clarification at least. | <urn:uuid:780f2220-f9bc-4c5f-ade2-ddd72a95372c> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://pycker.com/news/baahubalis-prequel-web-series-is-it-still-on-the-track/170207317377508 | 2021-02-28T19:39:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361723.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228175250-20210228205250-00561.warc.gz | en | 0.971086 | 163 | [

Soros Sells Out Of Data Centre Company In £328M Deal
A fund managed by George Soros’ family office has made a big sale in the European data centre sector.
Quantum Strategic Partners sold Zenium Data Centres for $442M (£328M) to U.S. specialist CyrusOne, as supply in the sector continues to expand.
Zenium owns four data centres, two in London and two in Frankfurt, totalling 260K SF.
Quantum first backed Zenium in December 2013. Zenium is led by founder and Chief Executive Franek Sodzawiczny and Global Sales and Marketing Director Matt Pullen, who was previously head of global corporate for Europe at CBRE.
The price paid by CyrusOne represents an 18-times multiple to EBITDA.
According to estimates by CBRE, European data centre supply increased 20% in 2017, but take-up was expected to drop by around 20%. | <urn:uuid:387a087a-0d70-4e1a-aa0c-f87699028cde> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.bisnow.com/london/news/data-center/soros-sells-out-of-data-centre-company-in-328m-deal-83084 | 2021-02-28T18:45:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361723.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228175250-20210228205250-00561.warc.gz | en | 0.948573 | 194 | [

To add ingredients during mixing, remove the feeder cap and insert the ingredients through the filling hole in the lid.
Stop and leave the blender on pause for 15 minutes before restarting.
To clean the bowl, use soapy water or washing-up liquid.
Some bowls are dishwasher safe, see instructions for use.
The volume of ingredients to be blended is too high, reduce the quantity of ingredients.
If the vibrations persist, contact an approved repair centre.
• The volume of ingredients is too high, do not exceed the maximum filling level for the bowl as stated in the instructions for use.
• The lid is not correctly positioned, lock it securely on the mixer bowl.
If the lid has a seal, check its condition and change it if necessary.
Leak from the bottom of the bowl:
• Your appliance does not have a removable blade unit: the seal on your blade unit may be damaged, have it checked by an approved repair centre.
• If your appliance has a removable blade unit: check it is positioned correctly on the jug. You need to ensure that the black notches on the blade unit are fitted fully into the equivalent recesses on the base of the jug – this will be apparent if you cannot turn the blade unit any further and if you turn the jug upside down you should not be able to see any gaps between the jug and the blade unit.
• Check that the gasket/seal is positioned the correct way around on the blade unit - the 3 folds of the gasket/seal must be visible once it is in place. If it is positioned in the other direction, you will not be able to lock the blade unit on the jug.
• Check the condition of the seal/gasket and change it if necessary.
• Check that your bowl is not split or broken as a result of impact.
If the leak persists, take the appliance to an approved repair centre.

Couples Counseling, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Mindful Eating & Nutritional Psychology, & Psychotherapy
What to Expect from Your
The Gottman Method is based on more than 30 years of research with thousands of real couples. In my Rockridge, Oakland office, I teach you to do what successful couples do.
Ongoing Therapy in Oakland (70 minutes)
What makes Gottman therapy special is that you talk directly to your partner, after three sessions of research-based evaluation. Every session is a chance for you to safely explore what’s on your mind, learn new approaches and release long-stored tension. Ongoing sessions are 70 minutes, 1.5 times the length of a standard session.
You’ll talk to your partner and tell each other things that you haven’t been able to say. Your partner will be learning to be a better friend and ally to you, asking you questions to guide you in telling them what you want them to know. I will coach you how to make these conversations lead to emotional connection. I will interrupt negative patterns that the research shows do not work for couples. From time to time, you may get to watch yourselves on video to help you and your partner literally see what’s going on in the relationship.
Why waste time repeating the same patterns in therapy when you can learn the best practices of happy, successful couples? Through this process, your body may relax and you may grow in empathy and understanding for one another. From there, anything’s possible.
Therapy begins with three sessions of evaluation based on Gottman’s research. You can take a moment to read here to learn about the evaluation sessions.
Please call 510-594-8224 to schedule your first appointment in Oakland and get thoughtful answers to any questions you may have.
Please give me a call to learn more about how I can help you, 510-594-8224.
Contact: I do not use email for confidential communication. I prefer to make a personal connection with you by phone.

Creating this Project has been one of the greatest enjoyments of my career, after 33 years in this industry, I have found my calling, and it has always been one of uplifting and embracing my clients. When I first shot the parachute it was so surreal, I reconstructed it into a skirt that would fit every shape and size of a female form, I have repeated this step to 18 more. With my team and parachutes we travel the US and hopefully soon the world empowering women to embrace their beauty and to let go of all the obstacles that have held them back. We became sisters, a unity, an army strong of female empowerment.

Mark Sinclair was born in Nottingham, England in 1967. In 1987, after qualifying and working as a professional hairdresser in the UK, he moved to the South of Germany to continue his career.
Four of the following seven years were spent in an „Intercoiffure“ salon (a salon with a high quality standard) in the Black Forest. This helped him to attain a high expert and specialist profile.
During his career Mark has participated in hair events, seminars and exhibitions in Germany and France, and frequently visits London, the home of hair fashion.
In the summer of 1994, Mark achieved one of his lifelong ambitions and opened the doors of his present salon, „Sinclairs Haargarten“ in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany.
Anja Lueder was born in 1976, in Thuringia, Germany. In 1999, after finishing her apprenticeship and successfully passing her Hairdressing Masters Cerftificate, Anja attended Erfurt University, which enabled her to begin her career as a teacher at the hairdessing training school in Rudolstadt.
In 2001 she commenced an intensive Trainer Apprenticeship with the German hair-cosmetic company, Wella. For the next three years she visited colleges in the east of Germany, training new hairdressers for their Masters Certificate.
After completing her work for Wella, Anja felt the creative need to return to the salon. In 2004 she started working part-time for Sinclair’s Haargarten, and has also continued her teaching career in schools and educational institutions.
In 2015 she became an Access Bars® practitioner. Access Bars® sessions will be offered soon.

Ancestry Launches NGS Tests With Family History Component
By Bio-IT World Staff
August 4, 2020 | Ancestry launched AncestryHealth yesterday powered by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Beginning Aug. 3, AncestryHealth powered by NGS is available to adults (ages 18+) in the United States, with the exception of New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island, for $179. Existing AncestryDNA customers can upgrade to AncestryHealth for $99.
The NGS technology was developed by Quest Diagnostics and replaces the microarray-based AncestryHealth Core. It is an upgrade to AncestryDNA + Traits, adding genetic health risk reports, a family health history tool, and other resources.
“As the market leader in consumer genomics for more than a decade, we are proud to make an important leap forward in democratizing access to comprehensive genetic health risk detection,” said Margo Georgiadis, president and chief executive officer at Ancestry in a press release. “We are committed to our long-term vision of helping millions get on the path toward living longer, healthier lives through affordable personalized, preventive health screening in partnership with the healthcare ecosystem.”
AncestryHealth includes cancer risk reports for hereditary breast & ovarian cancer and Lynch Syndrome (colon cancer risk). It includes carrier status tests for cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Tay-Sachs disease. The test returns reports on connective tissue disorders including classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection, Loeys-Dietz syndrome, Marfan syndrome, and vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The service also issues reports on heart and blood health including cardiomyopathy, familial hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol risk), hereditary hemochromatosis (iron overload risk), and hereditary thrombophilia (blood clot risk) as well as wellness reports, which include caffeine metabolism, alcohol flush, and muscle composition.
The reports themselves include the NGS findings, a summary of key takeaways, a visual illustration of risk—what does 52% look like in a population of 100?—genetic counseling support and actionable next steps. Two different downloadable reports are made available: one for your physician to take to any follow up appointments, and one for family or close friends who need to know more about your findings.
AncestryHealth calls the new offering, “a new era in consumers’ access to important information about their health.”
Adding Health History
In addition to the NGS-based reports, AncestryHealth includes step-by-step guidance for tracking and recording family health history all in one place. In partnership with PWNHealth, an independent network of board-certified genetic counselors, geneticists, physicians and other allied health professionals, AncestryHealth will include educational resources and remote access to genetic counselors.
The platform also allows users to create and download a family health history record they can use to facilitate discussions and reduce the burden of filling out forms. Family health history is a critical piece of the puzzle that, combined with the comprehensive genetic health information offered by NGS, can provide a more holistic view of an individual’s health risks.
“When it comes to your health and your family’s health, the more you know, the better,” said Dr. Ron Park, MD, EVP of Health and DNA, Ancestry said in the announcement. “With the launch of AncestryHealth powered by NGS, we are helping people have access to more comprehensive data about their genetic risks—and providing support with understanding those risks—at a time when protecting our health is a major concern.” | <urn:uuid:2cb25b41-a95e-4412-ab9d-97953be787fd> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.bio-itworld.com/news/2020/08/04/ancestry-launches-ngs-tests-with-family-history-component | 2021-03-07T06:52:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376144.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307044328-20210307074328-00561.warc.gz | en | 0.924854 | 782 | [

'Mani Ratnam’s Anjali influenced Sai Pallavi’s character in Athiran'
...says director Vivek Thomas Varghese, talking about his career, his collaboration with Fahadh Faasil, choosing Sai Pallavi for the film, and more
Not many are aware that Vivek Thomas Varghese, who just made his directorial debut with Athiran, was once part of Global United Media, the company that produced Kammattipadam, and distributed films such as Baahubali and Mersal in Kerala. Though his experience at Global gave him an insight into what works and what doesn’t with audiences, his unorthodox foray into film direction — neither did he go to film school nor assist anyone — made others sceptical.
Excerpts from an interview:
Where did your filmmaking knowledge mostly come from?
I couldn’t afford a film school. My knowledge came from watching films by masters, in addition to consuming filmmaking books and videos. After doing my mass communication degree, I joined MTV, where they asked me to unlearn what I’d learned. It was about breaking convention. They wanted the edgy stuff. When I joined Walt Disney, it was the complete opposite. Everything was as per format. But I imbibed both and carried that into my film and filmmaking. One doesn’t necessarily have to belong to a filmmakers’ club to be one. It’s the passion for cinema that matters and knowing how well to mix both art and business.
Athiran being a psychological thriller, how did you approach the material?
It’s a pure formula-based film. I’m not claiming that it’s a realistic film; it’s very cinematic. I believe in entertainment — the big screen experience. Because it’s a psychological thriller, I wanted the characters to be understood even by the layman. The roles were clearly defined — the positive and negative. Even a small kid should be able to identify who is the villain and who is not. Once that is established, you can play with the audience. If I make everyone grey, then it gets a bit tricky. I am not interested in holding a mirror to society. I can’t fathom that kind of filmmaking. It’s not for me. Having said that, I’m for all kinds of cinema.
You were supposed to do Aanenkilum Allenkilum with Fahadh first but then it was dropped. How did you react to the transition from that to Athiran?
The normal reaction for a first-time filmmaker would be anger and frustration. But then that’s a choice you make. You can choose to be too emotional or look at it more realistically. The transition wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Fahadh. I had low confidence when I decided to do this project. But Fahadh understood my effort and work and saw the potential in me. He suggested that I put Aanenkilm Allenkilum aside and work on something more mature. When I opted to make Athiran, there were people who told me I was making a big mistake. But Fahadh’s confidence and his support gave me the much-needed boost.
What made you pick Fahadh?
In a psychological thriller, the actor is the tool, and although the main story is about Sai Pallavi’s character, you need someone as a medium to connect to the audience. That was Fahadh’s character. For the story to work, the medium is equally important. He is the umbilical cord for the audience. I didn’t want to deceive the audience or go overboard with any melodrama. That’s where an experienced actor guides you.
If not for Fahadh, the film would’ve fallen flat. His charisma, experience, and freedom were very helpful for a newcomer like me. And I love Fahadh for his unique and superb potential for humour which, I believe, has not been tapped by anyone yet. He gets all the mannerisms right. He lets me be, which is awesome, and he was with me throughout. I was so fortunate to have him in my film.
How did you visualise Pallavi’s autism-affected character?
She was our number one choice. I had to prepare Pallavi for this character because I’ve seen only two films of hers. I narrated the screenplay to her, and the very next day, she said yes. When I told this to Fahadh, he was amazed. Apparently, two other South Indian directors had earlier tried to bring the two together in a film, but that didn’t happen. A lot of thinking went into shaping her character. Mani Ratnam’s Anjali was one of the influences. I’ve seen some people mention The Ring (laughs). Also, Kannathil Muthamittal for the father-daughter bond. I wanted Pallavi to play it subtle. She did her homework. She knew the importance of the character and was aware that it’s an author-backed role.
For research, I had consulted a psychiatrist who exposed me to a wide range of cases — both here and abroad. In most films that deal with autism, there is usually a tendency to overdramatise and forcefully evoke sympathy, which I didn’t want to do. There are some people saying her performance is a bit theatrical, given the kalaripayattu sequences and what not. They believe that autistic people won’t perform like that. But I have seen cases like that. International cinema has been hyping autism through the intellectual side. It’s already obvious from Renji Panicker’s lines in the film that she is intelligent. What I have shown is a more subtle version. Autistic individuals are not that subtle. They are quite aggressive but they also know why. I’m not saying all of them are that way; it’s just that it’s not always about the academics. That’s one myth I wanted to break with this film.
Sound plays a big part in this film.
I wanted it to be sound-oriented with very little dialogues. Ghibran (musician) wasn’t initially sure about coming on board because he also wanted to do the songs. Plus, I’m a newcomer. But he immediately agreed once I showed him the rough cut. Ghibran and I, along with Rajakrishnan (sound designer), worked together to sketch an apt soundscape. And as there are minimal dialogues and a lot of sound effects, we felt sync sound wouldn’t work.
How did you come up with the film’s overall visual style?
I wanted the location to be a hill station but at the same time not one you had seen before. I first came up with a colour palette and then sat down with my cinematographer (Anu Moothedath) and art director (Vinod Raveendran) to discuss the overall look. In a subject like this, I have the liberty to try out anything. A lot of work went into the art direction. For example, I wanted the mansion to be neither too scary nor too relaxed. I told the visual effects team to create something that wasn’t over-the-top. I was also particular about having some curios placed here and there despite being aware that not everyone would notice it. I included a curio from Manichithrathazhu as an inside joke. Try looking for it (laughs). | <urn:uuid:e8091ccf-05f3-4e43-ba1f-ec50cc78c6ef> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.cinemaexpress.com/stories/interviews/2019/apr/17/mani-ratnams-anjali-influenced-sai-pallavis-character-in-athiran-11111.html | 2021-03-07T05:28:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178376144.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20210307044328-20210307074328-00561.warc.gz | en | 0.977794 | 1,602 | [

Dominican Sister of Peace Marie Granger (87) died at Mohun Health Care Center, Columbus, OH on December 16. She was born in 1929 in Marion, OH. In 1950 she entered the Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs, now the Dominican Sisters of Peace.
Sr. Marie earned a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from the College of St. Mary of the Springs, now Ohio Dominican University, a Master of Science in Education from Notre Dame University, and a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from Providence College. She also earned an Administrator’s Certification from Pace University in New York.
Sr. Marie taught in grade schools in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio. Her love for education flowered during her years as Associate Professor of Education and Department Chair at Ohio Dominican College, now Ohio Dominican University. At the time of her golden jubilee as a Dominican, someone commented, “Her ‘methods course’ is famous to scores of undergraduates; through it she has touched the lives of countless teaching professionals.”
In 1994, when the congregation opened a literacy center in Columbus, Sr. Marie was asked to direct the project, to secure a facility in a low income neighborhood, to equip it with educational materials and equipment, to recruit and train volunteer staff, and to design the program. When she retired as Director of the Dominican Learning Center in 2003, her ministry and service was celebrated with the words: “She welcomed the challenge to begin the Learning Center, saw possibilities, watered the seeds, and trusted that God would bring the center to birth.”
During Mass in Sr. Marie’s memory Dominican Friar Stan Azaro, said:
I first came to experience and appreciate what it means to be a member of a Dominican community of evangelization, a Dominican family of brothers and sisters, forty years ago in 1976, when I came to Ohio Dominican College, now Ohio Dominican University, to teach. During my four years at the college I came to know Sr. Marie as my Dominican sister. I believe that it was extremely providential that during my first assignment as an ordained Dominican friar, I had the experience, from the beginning, of a close association and collaboration with a community of Dominican sisters, many of whom resided together on campus, prayed together daily in Christ the King Chapel, and ministered together at Ohio Dominican. They were a visible presence on campus, not only in the College chapel, but in its lecture halls and administrative offices. They taught me that my life as a Dominican friar would be somehow incomplete without my Dominican sisters.
In that sense, Sr. Marie was not only one of my favorite colleagues but also one of my real formators during my first years in the active Dominican ministry.
Sr. Marie was a cheerleader when she was in high school, and, I believe, that says everything about her. As a teacher and a mentor of the young in grade schools in Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio; as a formator of future teachers; as a department chair at Ohio Dominican; and as the first director of the Dominican Learning Center, endeavoring to improve people’s lives and prospects for their future, she continued to be a kind of cheerleader all her life, rooting for people, supportive of people, a loving presence to her family and friends, and a beloved member of her Dominican family, who will miss her dearly as they remember her fondly.
Now, living within the communion of saints, numbered among our special, personal Dominican saints, Sr. Marie continues to be our intercessor with God, our cheerleader, our inspiration, as we honor her memory, and thank God for the gift of her long and fruitful life.
Sr. Marie’s last ministry was as sacristan at the motherhouse in Columbus, Ohio, where she dedicated herself to assure the beauty of the chapel and the liturgy. She moved to Mohun Health Care Center in 2014.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Alonzo and Gertrude Conway Granger; her brothers, Paul, Carl, Ed and John; and her sisters, Marie Zimmer and Shirley Granger. She is survived by her brother Richard, her sister Jane Edgington, and many nieces and nephews.
The wake and funeral were held December 21 and 22 at the Columbus Motherhouse, followed by burial at St. Joseph Cemetery.

Indiana College Student With COVID-19 Dies In her Dorm Room
From CBS News
The family of a 20-year-old college student who died after experiencing COVID-19 symptoms is now pleading for others to take the virus seriously. Bethany Nesbitt, a student at Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana, was found dead October 29 in her dorm room after having COVID-19 symptoms for about 10 days and awaiting a test result, according to a statement from her family.
"The cause of death was a pulmonary embolism — the result of a blood clot — widely recognized as a common cause of death in COVID-19 patients," her brother Stephen Nesbitt tweeted.
Our hearts are shattered. My sweet sister, Bethany, died as she slept in her dorm room Thursday night. She was 20. She was COVID-19 positive. The cause of death was a pulmonary embolism—the result of a blood clot—widely recognized as a common cause of death in COVID-19 patients. pic.twitter.com/w6ky17Ra8v— Stephen J. Nesbitt (@stephenjnesbitt) November 3, 2020
The third-year psychology major from Grand Ledge, Michigan, had asthma and was previously taken to the emergency room. Doctors determined Nesbitt likely had COVID-19, but it was not a severe case and she seemed to be recovering.
Kosciusko County Coroner Anthony Ciriello ruled Tuesday that her official cause of death was a blood clot, noting that "while COVID did play a role in contributing to the death, it was not caused by COVID."
Her family pointed out, however, that blood clots are "widely recognized as being one of the most common causes of death among COVID-19 patients." They're now encouraging other people to "exercise enormous caution" as COVID-19 cases continue to rise.
"Please don't assume that young people will not be impacted by this virus. Bethany was careful. She wore her mask. She socially distanced," the statement said. "We plead with you to take this virus seriously." | <urn:uuid:6d280eb7-1ea3-4719-ab16-7d6e9e730415> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://tempsafe.tech/blogs/news/indiana-college-student-with-covid-19-dies-in-her-dorm-room | 2021-02-25T22:36:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178355937.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20210225211435-20210226001435-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.983784 | 456 | [

The deep Aboriginal connection to Country, place and kin is the foundation of the reference design for the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre (AACC) in Adelaide, Australia, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro and Woods Bagot.
The DS+R and Woods Bagot design collaboration on the AACC began on the international design competition winning entry for Adelaide Contemporary in 2018.
On releasing the concept, the South Australian Premier Steven Marshall said the striking reference design, with overlapping layers encircling a central gathering space, embodied the vision of the AACC as a gateway to the oldest living cultures in the world by incorporating the elements of earth, land and sky.
“The AACC will offer extraordinary immersive experiences, combining traditional storytelling with modern technology, celebrating 65,000 years of Aboriginal cultures and creating a global tourism attraction,” he said.
To be built on Kaurna land as part of the Lot Fourteen global innovation precinct, the AACC is a project of national and international significance.
The concept originates from the Aboriginal conception of the elements that link us to place: earth, land and sky – and which were the backbone of the design partnership’s winning proposal for the project’s earlier incarnation, Adelaide Contemporary.
DS+R partner Charles Renfro described the Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre as a new paradigm in cultural space design.
“We’re thrilled to be part of this ground-breaking vision to create a place of pride that authentically honours the oldest living cultures on the planet. This first-of-its-kind project has taken on a new life with our continued collaboration with the Aboriginal community and other stakeholder groups, as well as our Australian design partner Woods Bagot.
“The AACC will welcome visitors through a radically open ground floor, into a safe space with storytelling at its heart. It will be a building of the 21st century, while remaining agile enough to allow future generations to evolve their own storytelling,” Mr. Renfro said.
Working directly with the AACC Ambassador David Rathman AM, the design team of DS+R and Woods Bagot engaged in deep conversations with members of the AACC Aboriginal Reference Group to discover the design vision.
Woods Bagot principal Rosina Di Maria described the consultation process as a humbling and emotional experience.
“The design team’s role was to listen, and translate the aspirations and ambitions of the ARG into a design response. The architecture evokes a sense of welcome to all visitors – particularly First Nations peoples – and a connection to culture offered through the human experience,” Ms Di Maria said.
“The Aboriginal Art and Cultures Centre will be a place for all Australians to remember ourselves, to learn the truth telling of our past, and to re-imagine ourselves together to create new memories as a connected community. It will be a platform for developing Australian culture – informed by the past, shaped by the now, for our future,” Ms Di Maria said.
A building that reveals its workings overarchingly embodies truth-telling and transparency – a cultural vessel flexing to curation, use and time.

Chapter One: Beginnings I've been enamored by Chelsea for over two years. She had an angelic face with deep brown eyes. Her beautiful brown hair always dipped down on the right side of her face just above her eyes. Her bust was not exceptionally big, about B size, but sometimes, I could make out the shape of her breasts through her shirt as perfect, round little lumps. She had a very lean body, her curves were nice, and her ass was not too big nor too small.
I always wanted to have rough sex with her, but my true feelings were a lot deeper than just sex. I'm a 16 year old boy named Sundeep. I'm a junior at Milkwater High school, and gorgeous virgins can serve studs hardcore blowjob for me, so is Chelsea.
Ever since 7th grade, I've always been in at least one class with Chelsea, but this year, I happen to be in all of her classes. I've talked to her a couple of times, but I wouldn't say we're friends. I'm considered somewhat of a nerd, but not in a bad sense. I'm friendly with everyone at school. They all know I'm smart and sometimes make nerd jokes about me, but it's all just in good fun; I joke back.
Chelsea is smart, but she isn't a "nerd." She's very popular and even had a boyfriend with whom she very recently broke up. I think it was at this point where I realized I had a chance. I recently found out from my parents that we would be moving across the country due to a job transfer. I realized that now would be the best time to live my social life to the fullest as I would never see any of my classmates ever again.
I started talking to Nick, one of the most charismatic boys in our school. He told me that I seemed cool and could come to his party on Saturday. He said that there would be plenty of "chicks" and that I should definitely hook up before I move. I was also told by one of my other friends that Chelsea would be among the many guests at Nick's party. My heart pounding, I accepted the invitation. On Friday, the night before the party, I hung out at my friend Sam's house. I started talking to him about some girls and "hooking up".
"Sundeep, you're gonna be leaving in two months! You gotta get some ass from this shit-hole town. How are you gonna score with the big town New York chicks if you can't even score with these shitty Milkwater bitches?" "Not all of these girls are 'shitty Milkwater bitches'" I replied, slightly pissed.
"Oh yeah? Who is it then? Who you got your eye on?" "Uh, no one." I really didn't want to tell Sam that I had my eye on Chelsea. "C'mon man, I know you want some. you can trust me." "Fine. It's Chelsea." "Dude! Chelsie is mad hot! I think you could go for some of that." "Don't call her 'that'!" I responded, interrupting Sam. "Man, I can tell you really like her. Listen, you know how she just broke up with Matt? Well, I hear it was pretty bad. This is your chance! She's gonna be real easy now that she's so down.
You gotta get her before someone else does!" I thought about that for a second and said, "OK, fine." I also told Sam, "You gotta learn to respect women a little more," and left before I could get a response. Busty dyke gets her pussy licked by taxi driver day of the party finally arrived, and I dressed sharp. Black pants and a grey striped button up shirt retained my nerdy image, but the rolled up sleeves and the unbuttoned collar added a flirtatious touch.
Nick's house was packed. The music was loud; people were dancing and talking, and there was alcohol. No one seemed drunk yet.
I spotted Chelsea; she looked a little glum, so I decided to wait ten minutes before approaching her. Tattooed brazilian awesome chick rides penis hardcore and blowjob was there, and when he saw me, he rushed over to introduce me to Christine.
She said hi, and Sam told her to get him a beer.
I thought that was kind of rude, but that was just his style. He came a little closer to me, as if he wanted to tell me something he didn't want anyone else to hear. "Sundeep, isn't Christine a hotty? I started talking to her fifteen minutes ago and I think she already wants to suck my dick" "Yeah, that's great." This was just like Sam. He'd pick up girls wherever he went despite being so rude.
"So, Sundeep, when are you gonna hit up Chelsea?" I spotted Chelsea at the drink table. "I think I'm gonna go now." I replied. "You can do this. Just don't bring up her break up too soon, m'kay?" "Yeah, thanks for the advice." I still felt a little nervous. I took a deep breath and walked over.
The first thing I did was grab a glass and the wine bottle. Then, as I started to pour, I said, "Hey Chelsea, how you doin'?" "I'm OK." "What's wrong? You don't look too OK" "You know, Matt and all." "Oh yeah, sorry about the break up." I had already broken Sam's advice, so I kept going.
"Matt didn't deserve you." I hot babe with hot big tits toying her pink it wasn't too early for that type of remark.
"What do you mean he didn't deserve me?" At this point I was panicking on the inside, but I kept a calm composure and said "You know, you're really nice, smart, a-and pretty" The last part just came out of me and I hoped it'd work to my advantage and not creep her out. "Oh, Sundeep, you're so sweet. The break up was bad. I thought I really liked Matt." She looked like she would almost tear up, but luckily she didn't. I didn't want to have to deal with a crying girl.
"Is it anything you'd like to share, you know, just&hellip. let out of your system?" "Well, I don't usually just start talking about these things to anyone, but you seem different." "Hey, you can tell me anything." I used the most reassuring voice I could manage.
"Well, I. okay. Matt and I had something planned one day. at his house. He said his parents wouldn't be home. At the last minute, I found out that I had to go to my Aunt's wedding the same day. When I told him, he got really mad. The next day, he took me to the movies. He told me that since I bailed on him the other day, I had to. 'suck his dick' in the bathroom stall. Of course I didn't want anyone to see, so I said no.
Th-then he s-slapped me" "Wow." I said. I had just found out that she was damaged goods; Chelsea wasn't so holy to me anymore. I knew I wouldn't be afraid of doing what I had wanted to do for a long time, and I intended to speed up the process.
First, I shook my head to make it seem like I cared, and said, "What a jerk. where does he get off pulling that type of stuff? He should have considered himself lucky even to look at you!" "Oh, Sundeep, you're so nice!" Chelsea exclaimed.
I was ready to take it a step further. "Hey, Chelsea, what say you and I get out of this place?" "Um, sure, where are we gonna go?" "Uh, we could just drive around. C'mon let's go." We got in the car and I drove off to nowhere.
"Wow, Sundeep, you have a nice car!" Chelsea exclaimed. Proud, I said thanks and asked her if she had a driver's license. She told me she planned on getting it during the summer. We stopped at a park, and, seated at the hood of the car, we started talking about the fact that I was moving.
"So are you going to miss all your friends?" I didn't think I would even miss my closest friend Sam and his dirty mouth, so I didn't think I would miss anyone, but I put on an act, "Oh my god, I'm so sad. I have so many good friends here, I really don't want to move." "Oh, that's so sad, but you can stay in touch!" Chelsea suggested. "I know, but it won't be the same.
It also sucks that I'm moving so soon and barely know you yet." I hoped my extremely emotional charade would have some effect, and it sure did. Chelsea got quiet for a second and then exposed petite woman likes be my tight queen for me a big hug and said, "Sundeep, I've only talked to you for about an hour, but you seem like such a nice guy that.
I think I really striking czech chick was teased in the supermarket and penetrated in p you!" Now was my chance. Chelsea was quite submissive. I knew I could take her as far as I wanted with little resistance. "Chelsea, you're such an amazing person, I think I really like you too!" I leaned in, skinny indian babe indiana fox ass fucked for money to my delight, so did she.
When our lips met, a wave of ecstasy rushed through my veins. After what seemed like forever, we pulled apart. There was no tongue, just pure passion. "Chelsea, I hope you realize how beautiful you are," I stated. "Wow, believe it or not, Matt never once called me that." I leaned in for another and was rewarded with tongue. This time, I gently placed my hands around her waist.
Feeling no resistance, I slowly moved them up and down as our tongues explored each others mouths. To my satisfaction, she put her hands around my neck and pulled me a little closer. Cautiously, I moved my right hand up and brushed it against her breast.
I felt her twitch a little, as if to signal slight discomfort, but she didn't pull back. I waited for a few seconds before I finally reached towards her breasts again. This time I kept my hand there. She pulled her head back and caught her breath. Our bodies were almost touching, and my right hand remained at her breast.
She moved one of her hands down to my thighs and squeezed a little. I gently took her hand and moved it down towards my groin. I felt some resistance; she pulled her hand up ever so slightly, but I persisted and she submitted.
She rubbed my already erect member. Being the first time someone besides myself touched my penis, I couldn't help but hyperventilate. Before she could notice, I evened my breath and leaned in for another kiss. This time, I actually stuck both my hands up her shirt and started rubbing them up and down. I heard Chelsea moan softly. Her skin felt smooth and cool against my hands.
Feeling sly, I slid my left hand down her back, almost reaching her panties, and slowly inched my right hand up to her bra, all in the guise of pulling her close into a hug. By now, she was breathing much more deeply. I brought my left hand up, and now with both hands, I unhooked her bra. At this point, Chelsea pulled away and said, "Do you think we're moving too fast?" "No," I stated quite frankly, "but if you think so, we could slow it down." Chelsea was silent for a few moments as if she was thinking.
Then, she unhooked my pants and I helped her take them off. She started rubbing my shaft through my underwear. Words cannot describe the pleasure I felt; after all, it was the closest anyone came to my cock. "Wow, it's big." "And it's all for you." As Chelsea busied herself massaging my cock, I worked her bra. After I pulled it out, I unbuttoned the back of her top and pulled it off. Wasting little time with foreplay, I unhooked her panties as well. She sat there, a fully nude goddess, in front of my eyes.
I remembered Matt that instant. Suddenly she was not so godlike anymore, just a tool for my sexual pleasure, so I didn't hesitate.
I took off my underwear. Both of us naked, Chelsea stated, "Sundeep, we're both completely naked out in the open. Are you sure we're not moving too fast? Do you still respect me?" "Chelsea, you worry too much!
You're like a goddess to me. Of course I respect you!" Taking her hand off my cock, I told her, "Chelsea, you just lay down and let me have you." I gently plunged my erect member deep inside her warm void.
The next few moments were bliss. I took it slow at first. Chelsea's eyes were shut and she purred in delight. "Do I feel good to you?" She asked. "Mmmm, you're amazing." It was silent for the next minute or so, except for our moaning. Slowly, I started to speed up until I was practically pounding her pussy. "Sundeep, please, you're hurting me. Slow down!" I had jessica marie loves to blow his cock waiting for this moment for years.
My mind was suddenly flooded with turbulence. Chelsea and I could have a good thing going. Should I slow down and apologize? Maintain our wonderful relationship? Or should I keep going hard for my own pleasure?
After all, I was moving and would likely never see Chelsea again. I made up my mind. Chelsea was a bitch for telling me to slow down in my moment. "Shut up, this is my moment and you're not gonna tell me to stop" I barked over her cries and my incessant thumping. Chelsea pushed me away and out of her, saying, "Sundeep, stop.
Drive me home and we'll forget that we ever talked." All of a sudden, I didn't feel like myself, but I was outraged that this unholy bitch was telling me what to do during sex.
"You bitch, I can do whatever I want to you!" Support wolf by purchasing that full movie snapped. "Sundeep, this isn't like you at all!
You know what, drive home yourself. I'm not getting in that car with you!" At this point, I just grabbed the naked Chelsea, placed her in doggystyle position, and penetrated her rectum. "Sundeep, please stop!" She screamed This was my moment, and there was no way I was going to stop. I muffled her mouth and kept going. Suddenly, I noticed blood dripping out of her anus. I pretended to be oblivious of the crimson and kept thrusting.
She attempted to scream, so I muffled her mouth with my hands. She dug her nails into my thighs, only contributing to the intense pleasure. Suddenly she let out a guttural wail, which I stopped by squeezing her throat. I kept kept thrusting, the pleasure in my loins steadily increasing. Suddenly, the inception of my climax began to unfold. I increased the rate of my thrusting until the full force of my climax overwhelmed me.
I slowed down, pulled out, and marked my territory on the back of my property. I flipped her over. Suddenly, I was filled with a suffocating sense of guilt. I flipped Chelsea over and began to formulate an apology until I noticed how pale and lifeless Chelsea' complexion was. At first, I tried to convince myself that she was just unconscious.
I shook her a bit and noticed she had wet my car seat. I started to panic, and all my fears were confirmed when she emptied her bowels all over my car.
She was dead. Chapter Two: Teacher's Pet I looked at my schedule and noticed that my first class was AP Chem in room 69B. It was my first day in Wilkinson's High School. Eventually I found my class and took a seat in the back. The teacher was a well built, toned Indian man named Dr. Ahmed. His eyes zoned in on me, and he said, "Another brown fellow." Suddenly all eyes were on me. It was my first day and I already was the center of attention.
"Stand up and introduce yourself to the class. mister.?" "Sundeep Sirdhani." "Oi, tu punjabi heh?"* "Whatt," I said in the most jocular manner I could produce, causing everyone in the class to laugh. "Hindi nahin bol sakhte ho?" "Ummm, no sorry. I'm not that brown." "Okay, mister Sundeep. Someone needs to teach you hindi. Sit down please." So far, my day was off to a weird start. During chemistry class, my eyes wandered around to the other bright kids in my class.
There was one girl in particular that Mr. Ahmed always had his eye on. Apparently her name was Aashna. She had well groomed black hair, voluptuous curves, and long, sexy legs. Her skin tone were was a lot lighter than most Indians. She could have passed of as a Latina. Beautiful as she was, I had no interest in brown people.
Besides, ever since that night. Anyways, Dr. Ahmed, on the other hand, had different intentions. It was December, and the weather was a lot colder. By this time Dr. Ahmed had already developed an admiration for me and my intrinsic knack for chemistry. A new girl had also moved in during mid November. Her name was Yili Wu. She was kind of pretty. Dr. Ahmed assigned us a Acid-Base titration lab and paired me up with Yili. "Hey Yili!" "Hi, You went to Milkwater Highschool, didn't you?" "Oh, yeah, I did." I didn't particularly want to talk about my time at Milkwater, but I entertained her conversation.
"It's so funny because I did too!" "Wait, then how come I never saw you there?" I was taken aback. This seemed like too much of a coincidence, and too much began to come back to me. "I kept a low profile to focus on my grades." "Okay." I said skeptically, wanting to change the subject, "Let's get started with the lab." The bell signalling the end of the day rang, and Yili and I had finished the lab pretty quickly and efficiently.
As I got up to leave, Dr. Ahmed told me to stay for a little bit. Seeing as though I lived so close to the school, at home with russian webcam phenomenon vickie would not hurt missing my bus and staying a little late.
"What do you want to talk about?" Dr. Ahmed just looked at me. After a short pause, he said, "You know Sundeep, I really like you. I mean besides not knowing Hindi, I always knew you were a lot smarter than those dumb fucks." I was dumbfounded by Dr. Ahmed's remarks. But then again, he seemed like a nice guy to me. "Whatever you want Sundeep, I can help you out with.
Maybe if you're interested in anyone, I could help you out? There are a lot of good brown-folk in our school." "With all due respect, Dr, I noticed your eye on Aashna." Dr.
Ahmed looked amazed but understanding to me. "Yes, and why do you bring that up." "I don't know, just putting it out there." "We brown folks look out for each other. Aashna was just a fellow sister." "Okay," I said. As I started to leave the room, Dr. Ahmed said, "Hey, Sundeep, You may get good grades, but High school is a tough place. Come to me whenever you want." As I was walking home, Yili ran up to me.
"Hii Sundeep!" "Ummm, hi?" "So remember you were telling me you used to live in Milkwater?" "Yeah, I remember," I said, pissed that she couldn't just let this go. "Sam was your best friend, I think. He used to be kind of rude to me." "Yeah, that's Sam alright." "I didn't have too many friends, but one of my best friends was Chelsea, you remember her don't you?" Suddenly I went pale. The blood rushed to my head.
I had tried my hardest to forget about Chelsea, but suddenly, my past came rushing back in one instant. "Yeah, Sundeep, whatever happened to her, do you have any ideas?" "Ummm. no," I said, "I remember seeing her at Nick's party, but I never saw her again." "You know Sundeep, I think I remember seeing her leaving with you that night.
But I never saw her after that." I lost all feeling of my body and started to panic. Hastily, I bit back, "What are you trying to say?" "I don't know," Yili said, "All I do know is that if this leaks out, then you'll be in big trouble." Suddenly I realized that if Yili noticed, then other people at the party may have noticed.
Reading my mind, Yili said, "Don't worry, I was the only one who noticed you leave. Everyone else was having too good a time." I remembered the night of the party. Chelsea and I kind of snuck out, and I was so sure that no one saw me. I had gone home early and called Sam's cell. He was still at the party. I told him that Chelsea and I hadn't hit it off that well and that I just went home.
It was the truth after all. I told him Chelsea left with another guy, but that I couldn't quite catch his face. It was fool-proof. "Did you follow me here, Yili?" "Mmmm, irrelevant. The point: I won't blab, but you have to fulfill my every desire." By this point, my world was spinning.
I started hyper-ventilating and suddenly everything went black. I woke up in someone else's bedroom. Almost immediately, I noticed a great feeling from my penis, but as soon as I realized what was going on, I jumped back and let out a wail.
Yili was sitting down in front of me in all her glory. "What the fuck are you doing Yili!" "Nothing. I just thought we should get started now." "Hell no!" I cried, pulling my pants up. "Okay, that's fine you can leave.
That way I can pay my respects to the American justice system." "Please, Yili, can we talk about this." "Yeah we can talk about this. While your dick is in my pussy hotty feels sperm in mouth smalltits and hardcore is." "There has to be another way!" Yili didn't say anything. She just stood up and picked up the phone and mock dialled 911.
"Okay, Yili, okay, I'll do whatever you want." "Good boy. From now on, you are my slave." At this point I was fighting to hold back my tears. "First I want finish what I was doing before you so rudely interrupted," she said. I just sat down, closed my eyes and let her do the work. "This is a tasty cock alright," she said with obvious pleasure.
The feeling was pretty good, I thought. At first she just teased my cock by running her tongue around my glans in small circular motions. Soon she moved on the sucking the tip, providing me with a reasonable amount of pleasure; however, when she moved her mouth all the way down my shaft, I exploded. She removed her head and let all of it cover her face.
"That was kind of quick, Sundeep. Is this really you've got?" "Umm, sorry," I said in embarrassment, "But uh ever since Chelsea. I haven't even touched my cock." Yili just giggled. "This'll be fun then!" She licked up most of the cum around her mouth and my cock. "Now I want you to eat me out," she said.
"Your freedom depends on how good it feels." Fuck, I thought. I've never licked a pussy. I decided to use what I knew from porn and hoped for the best. I went down watch great bi sexual action hardcore groupsex her.
Like most Asians, she had a bush. I started by licking the outside of her pussy, slowly moving my tongue up and down the opening. "You're gonna have to try harder, Sundeep!" I put a finger in. Her pussy was warm. I let it slowly envelope my finger. It felt good. "I'm bored! Sundeep, stop dicking around and do something or I'm gonna have to make that call!" I snapped out of my trance.
I stuck two, then three fingers and started thrusting in and out. I put my other hand to use by attempting to stimulate her clitoris. I found it and, like the book said, it felt like a little bead. I rubbed it slowly and gently at first, in contrast to the more violent thrusts of my right hand. Yili let out a moan, a very satisfying moan that seemed to turn me on.
She had a soft, yet full voice. Full of pleasure. Slowly, I started rubbing her clit harder. I put my tongue to good use, all while both my hands kept busy. Her moans grew in volume, in excitement.
Suddenly her body started to spasm, and her pussy sent squirt after squirt of her cum at my face. Eventually she calmed down. Chapter Three: It's a Rough Place Right when I got to school the next day, I rushed into Dr. Ahmed's office. "You told me that I could come to you if I had any problems, right?" I asked. japanese cousin fuck english subtitles. I am always happy to help a brother." I told Dr.
Ahmed everything that happened. "All you did was fulfill your desires. Chelsea was just another casualty in this world. Also,Yili Wu is a fairly pretty girl, besides not being brown.
Have some fun with her." "You don't understand, Dr., ever since that night with Chelsea, I haven't been able to look at a pretty girl without feeling evil. These days I get all these disgusting images in my mind at the thought of beautiful girls." "I see, Sundeep. I think you do have a slight problem." "I killed someone, of course I have mormon teens tits cummed handjob and blowjob I screamed.
"Sundeep, people die every day." "But, I think about what her parents are going through because of me. And then I realize the monster within me. It's growing, Dr. Ahmed, I can feel it." "Sundeep, please, calm down. I think you and I have a lot in common. You know, when I was young like you, I loved a girl, but she was so out of reach.
Sundeep, you know what I did one night?" "What?" "Well, this was in India, and you know, no one notices a thing there. So one night, I kidnapped the girl and had my fun with her. The next day, Daddy told me i can do anything now dropped her off far from home so no one would know." "Dr., you're sick." "Not as sick as you, Sundeep." I looked down in shame.
"Sundeep, I think I can be of assistance. After school, I want you to come back to my classroom. I think I can cure you of your fears.
Maybe even subdue the monster inside of you." "Ok, Dr., maybe you can help me." Chapter 4: Brown Power As Sundeep left my room, I felt like I could actually connect with someone. This boy was truly extraordinary. I leaned back in my chair, relieved for once, until I remembered.
That joke of a school administration assigned me to sub a standard physics class. I don't even know why I teach in an American school. As soon as I walked into that class, I surveyed each and every dumb fuck America had to offer. I spotted a brown person. "Hey, you, stand up." He was one of those Indians. The type that tries to act black and dumb.
"Aapka nam kya hai?" "Yo I don't speak Indian, none of dat." I was outraged. Indian? Did he really not know the name of our beautiful language? I approached the impudent boy and lifted him up by the collar. "Dude, what the fuck, you're a teacher, you can't be pulling this shit!" "What language was I speaking? Tell me?" "Indian, I said Indian!" I threw the kid on the ground and kicked him in the gut, ""Try again!" Suddenly, a white kid stood up and said, "Hey, I'm gonna go report you to the school administration." "I don't give a FUCK about the administration!
I AM the administration. And you, sir, are not Indian. Your mother is probably a white-washed whore!" I calmed down a bit and walked back to my desk. "What do you even learn in a standard class? Gravity?" The next 55 minutes were a complete disgrace. I was dealing with kids that probably couldn't even rearrange an equation.
As soon the bell rang, I rushed to my AP classroom. At least then I could deal with kids who weren't complete idiots. I set up my materials and waited for the students. First, Chris walked in. This kid was pretty dumb. Then Gary, what a retard. Bill.
What the fuck is he doing in AP class? Frank. Ehh, yeah, he's alright. Then Rohan. This kid is probably going somewhere. Siddharth. This kid is a genius. Aashna…that xxx pap not sex mom xxxson. And lastly, Sundeep. The wonder child, the most amazing one of all. He looked at me as to remind me of our conversation an hour ago.
I nodded reassuringly and started the class. An hour later, I dismissed the class. After about 4 hours, the bell dismissed the school. I awaited to give my first "therapy" session.
Although I had and still have no experience with therapy, I always have been quite knowledgeable about sex. I couldn't wait to pass down my ideas. Chapter 5: A Lesson in Sexology Sundeep arrived, and I told him to sit down. "Doctor, how are you gonna help me?" he asked.
I thought for a moment. "Sundeep, besides Chelsea, what is the most disgusting thing you have ever done?" I asked. He went deep into thought, clearly perplexed as to what could even compare to that night. I realized that despite his academic prowess, he was still a novice in the social and sexual arts. I would have to teach him like we did in the Homeland.
I would solve this one problem for him so he would learn how to deal with the rest himself. Yili would be dealt with here and now. "Sundeep, you told me Chelsea was attractive.
Yili is fairly attractive as well. Are you familiar with the Hot Pair Law?" "No, Doctor." "In the late 1980s, sociologists discovered that attractive female teenagers tend to become close friends either with girls as attractive as them, or with much less attractive ones.
They found that there was no middle ground." "I follow. I've observed that this year." He caught on quickly as always. "Far more interesting was one related observation. It was found that an extremely high percentage of the female attractive pairs, or FAPs, as they were called, tended to have sexual relations. It started with an innocent pillow fight at a sleep-over, things rubbed up against other things, and from that first inadvertent moan of pleasure, many purposeful ones followed." "The Hot Pair Theory is common knowledge now.
How come I've never heard of this FAP Law?" "Unfortunately, it was only an observation that was never fully developed and published." "Why? It seems like this rule is extremely important." "The researchers couldn't work - they were unable to.
Don't you see how this idea sister sleeping big boobs pressing drive a man to madness? The idea that every pair of voluptuous girls that are seen prancing about together are having sex regularly?
Most males consider and visualize this sex every time they see two attractive women together, but the sociologists on that team had proof that all FAPs truly did have sex. They began to dwell on each FAP they saw more and more. Their research ended when they began to use two hands to masturbate. Eventually, they lost self-control to the point where they masturbated upon the sight of a FAP, even if they were in public.
They were arrested for public indecency, and the research project was restricted by the government." "Then how do you know about this, Doctor?" "There were two people on that team who stayed in control. I was one of them. I saw the danger in the project early on, and using skills from the real chemistry classes back home, produced a chemical cocktail to inhibit these thoughts. I used a FAP-inhibitor, if you will." "Who was the other person?" "She was the only woman on that team." I trailed off.
Sundeep was fully engrossed in this story, but I knew he would not yet understand this woman, or the nature of our erotic-hate relationship. "That's enough theory for now. Let's move on to application. I think you understand what you need to do now." "Chelsea and Yili were a FAP.
so, by the Sax story sex stories xx 2019 Rule, they must have had sex!" An elliptical bulge quickly formed, embossing Sundeep's pants. He was not immune to the effects of the FAP Rule. He saved face effectively, keeping his eye level to mine and adjusting his manhood, not directly with his hands as a lesser man might have done, but with a slight twist of the hips. An old saying came to mind: "Consider yourself masturbating in your room when a parent barges in.
You are only truly a man if you can look them in the eyes and finish." This boy was already on that path. He continued, asking "But, how does that help us?" "You told me that Chelsea flocked to you only when she was rejected by her previous sexual partner, a boy named Matt. She was a pretty and kind girl.
Why would Matt be abusive?" "He was kind of a douche, but. did he know what Chelsea and Yili were doing?" "Yes, Sundeep. It was his rage at not being included in a threesome that caused him to hit Chelsea, which led to her eventual death at your stepmom caught teen sucking off cock and enjoyed some threesome and blowjob. Yili already felt guilty as an Asian being part of a FAP, yet not wanting to disappoint her family.
When she felt responsible for a death." "She went crazy. And now, her mission is to end that guilt by making me suffer!" His voice shook nervously. "You're almost there. She doesn't so much want to make you suffer as she wants someone responsible for and aware of what transpired to suffer.
So, if you're having a good time with the sex, just let it go." The situation was so simple. If Sundeep learned to apply the full power of his mind to his sexual problems, as he could do with any chemistry problem, he would have come to this conclusion as quickly as I had.
"So a crazy girl has made me her sex slave, and you think I should just let that go!?" He screamed. "I said you should let it go only if the sex is good. I presume it is?" "Well-" He was exasperated.
"I believe that you would be more comfortable with the situation if you were in control. You colloge lesbians hazing at the sorotity house teen to be the master, and she must be the sex slave, yes?
I can guide you to that point. Will you follow me?" There was a long silence. Helpless and confused, he relented. "Yes." "Good. But, be aware Sundeep. Unlike the American curriculum, this mission will test the full extent of your chemistry skills." Chapter 6: FAP. I found myself surrounded by drunk frat boys at the Duke homecoming dance. Yili dragged me to her sister's college. It was so out of the blue, I knew something was gonna happen.
There were a lot of hot college girls at the party, and I needed my fill. My flirting skills had vastly improved since I started at my new high school, but whenever I found myself hitting it off with a girl, I saw Yili's death stare.
Suddenly Yili approached me with another attractive Korean girl. "Sundeep," she said, "This is Jennifer, my sister. Jennifer, this is Sundeep." "Hey Jen!" "Don't fucking call me Jen, it's Jennifer," she snapped.
"Sundeep, I'm gonna get straight to the point. Threeway, NOW!" Yili proposed. Flustered, all I could manage was, "OK" We headed straight for the other room, my dick bulging out my pants like a show piece. I knew this would be my best chance to enact Dr.
Ahmed's advice and dominate Yili. The sisters began to vigorously make out in front of my eyes. I couldn't help but stare and rub my erect cock.
"Sundeep, stop staring!" Yili yelled, "Put this on!" Yili violently began to wrap a blindfold over my eyes. For the next few minutes, I had the pleasure of listening to passionate slurping and sucking. Then Yili approached me and inserted her tongue in my mouth. I knew that I completely lost control over the situation, but I was loving the kiss. Then I felt an amazing feeling on my dick, which I presumed to be because of Jennifer.
For the next 5 minutes, I enjoyed the tongue dancing around my mouth and the lips enclosed around my shaft. Then suddenly, light came. Yili had pulled the blindfold off. I was surprised: Yili was standing to the right of me giggling, Jennifer to the left. I could still feel that tongue enjoying itself inside my mouth.
I pulled away and was greeted with the creepy grin of a 60 year old, hairy man. Screaming, I looked at my dick and saw another hairy old man enjoying his feast.
"What the freaking fuck!" I cried as I stood up. "It's time for you to dominate isnt it? Isn't that what Dr. Ahmed wanted?" Yili said, winking at me. I was dumbfounded. Had Dr. Ahmed betrayed me? Did he tell Yili that I seeked out his advice? My thoughts were interrupted when the first old man waved his hairy, erect member in front of my eyes while the other held me down.
The first proceeded to insert his member inside my mouth, deep. It tasted stale, like a piss covered sausage. I couldn't hold my gags, and vomitted all over his penis. "Ohhh, I love it when this happens!" he grunted, reinserting his penis in my mouth, forcing my arid bile back into my mouth. I never could have known Yili was this nadia and his partenar grile sex. Behind her beautiful eyes was the devil incarnate.
Although I murdered Chelsea, It was this moment where I truly lost my innocence. I knew nothing would ever be the same for me. I awoke from my thoughts as I felt a sharp pain in my rectum. As I turned around, I witnessed the second old man, his face distorted in pleasure.
Struggling to breathe, and my rectum enlarged to the size of a cucumber, I thought teen webcam leggings xxx ivy impresses with her enormous baps and ass would be the end of me. The last thing I felt were 3 trails of liquid shooting up my anus, and an endless stream of semen, rushing all over my face, into my eyes, and in my mouth. I woke up on the street, completely naked. As I opened my eyes, I witnessed cars frantically dodging their way around me.
In a daze, I stood up, receiving dirty looks from all who passed. Everything began to go fuzzy again, and I collapsed. The second time I woke up, I was in a strange, dark room, a steaming cup of chai sitting on the bed stand. Dr. Ahmed's silhouette walked in with a tray of sooji ka kheer, my favorite indian breakfast. As he handed me the tray, I threw it to the ground, the kheer spreading all over the floor.
"How could you! I trusted you, don't you realize what you put me through?" "Sundeep, I don't know what you are talking about," Dr. Ahmed caringly stated.
"But I know what you went through yesterday." "Yili told me she knew about our sessions together! Why did you tell her!" "Sundeep, I swear I didn't tell her anything. I would never do anything like that to you. I care for you." "B-but how could she have known?" "Sundeep, I have my suspicions. There are strange forces working against the both of us. For your safety, you will be living with me for the next few months. I already told your mom you would be staying with her favorite brother!" "What?
You're my uncle! But you're Muslim!" "Our family is very complex. You are not ready to understand the true significance of our lineage." "Dr. Ahmed, I'm scared." I whispered. "You're safe for now, Sundeep, eat. You'll feel better." For the next few minutes, we both ate in silence, pondering the mystery that eluded our thoughts.
Chapter 7: A cool uncle? The kheer was amazing. The subtle tones of saffron mixed with the raw taste of cardamom helped subdue the previous night's ordeal. "Dr. Ahmed," I said after I finished, "Who made this kheer?" "Sundeep, I think you may know her already.
Come with me." Dr. Ahmed guided me towards a room at the end of the dark hallway. "Sundeep, you will go in there alone. What you will face in that room will test your mental strength to the fullest. The challenge you will face in that room will not be easy by any stretch.
However, if you can pass, the events of last night will be a distant memory, and you will find yourself on a cloud of comfort. Are you ready?" I gulped, and placing my hand on the cold door knob, I slowly turned it and entered the room, expecting the worst. Dr. Ahmed pushed hawt swap attractive student hardcore and massage in and locked the door behind me. I was greeted by a fully nude Aashna. "Sundeep!
Oh my god, hi!" She exclaimed in her typical valley girl accent. "What! Aashna, you're my challenge? What the fuck is going on man?" "Sundeep don't say a word, just sit milf cums from large dildo mature and asian to me." Aashna said, patting the bed." I had no interest in brown girls, but I knew this was a challenge I had to pass.
Aashna did look stunning in all her glory. I slowly sat down and opened my mouth, about to say something, but Aashna put her finger on my lips and gave me a full kiss. She put her arms around my back and pulled me in close. I followed suite and put my own hands around her waist.
I slowly moved them up and down as our tongues danced inside each other's mouths. Her skin was warm and smooth to my touch. Aashna pulled my shirt off and felt my rock hard abs that I had been working on over the summer. "At a boy Sundeep!" I heard Dr. Ahmed cheer from outside the room, totally spoiling the mood. "Dr. Ahmed, shut up!" Aashna cried. "Oh, umm, sorry!" We continued where we had left off, with Aashna's warm hands caressing my chest.
I slowly moved my hands up her side and towards her breasts. Unlike Chelsea before, Aashna was completely willing. With one hand on her breast, my other hand moved down to her underside, cupping her round ass. Aashna pulled out of my mouth and pressed her luscious lips on my neck, running her tongue around my skin.
She used her other hands to unhook my pants and take of my underwear. The both of us naked, I slowly lowered her so she was laying on her back. Both of us in a brown embrace, I inserted myself into her, her vaginal walls, moist and warm, welcoming my cock. At first I enjoyed the warmth of her flesh enclosed around my throbbing shaft.
I relished in the warmth of her body wrapped around mine. Suddenly the events of the preceding night seemed a distant dream, washed away this Indian princess laying below me. As I pushed in and pulled out in a never ending cycle of embrace, I listened to Aashna's soft purrs of delight. An incredible feeling rushed into my cock, encased tightly inside her pussy.
I began to thrust harder, but unlike the incident with Chelsea, I could control myself. I knew I was passing my test. The pleasure in my loins increased as Aashna's moans grew louder.
She put her hands around my back and urged me in and out. As we neared climax, her nails dug into my skin, increasing my pleasure ten fold. My grip on her waist tightened and I came inside of her, indifferent to any risks. Suddenly, the door busted open, revealing the fully nude Dr. Ahmed falling over with an embarrassed look on his face and hand on his cock. I couldn't ignore the rush of his semen spilling all over me and Aashna.
"Oh, shit, just ignore me!" Dr. Ahmed cried as he shut the door. "Yeah, that's a little fucking hard to do with your spunk all over me!" We both yelled. This time I noticed his eyes peering through the key hole. "Oh my god! Dr. Ahmed can be such a creep sometimes, right Sundeep! But that was so fun, we should do it again!" Aashna said as she left the room, leaving me alone to contemplate the recent progression of events.
Chapter 8: The Past Strikes Back (Dr. Ahmed) My first few days truly being an uncle were more satisfying that I thought.
I had never been interested in raising kids, but Sundeep possessed something great, and I knew that he would soon assimilate into our family's culture. I walked into the kitchen, butt-naked, with my dick half-hard due to the slight touching of Aashna's soft back on my dick in bed. Aashna was making coffee, and Sundeep was eating some cereal. "I'm your goddamn nephew you know! Put some fucking clothes on!" said Sundeep.
"It my house, Sundeep, I can do whatever, and whoever I want in it. Anyways, we seem to be short of supplies. I'm just going to go to Shaw's to do the groceries. You kids have fun!" I got dressed, got my keys, and walked outside to my car. It was a rainy morning outside, and sofy loves that pile driver that ends up in her eager ass water mixed with the dirt on the ground made some very shitty mud.
I got into my car, turned it on, and started driving onto the main road. I noticed that I had left some of my "Erotic India" magazines in the car. I decided to pick one up and have some fun like old times.
I turned to the middle of a magazine and gazed at the centerfold. There as a true "Rani". She was a fair woman with a clean, shaved pussy, bent over fondling her round tits.
I quickly squeezed some lotion onto my hands while fumbling with the steering wheel and nearly hitting a car. I rubbed some of it on my cock and started cyclically stroking it. I sped up to about 140 mph to allow the vibrations of the car to excite my scrotum. I could practically see the woman on the magazine coming out of the paper, teasing my cock as I drove.
I could see her hands lift her tits and let go, allowing them to bounce. I could see one of her hands slowly making its way down to her pussy, gently patting it as she passionately cooed. I could virtually hear her hands smack her ass, oriental lovely chick tames hard male dicks japanese and hardcore her cheeks to jiggle.
For a second I could see her dancing on her knees atop the hood of my car as it raced down the highway. She stroked my cock as I seamlessly changed gears and avoided cars. Her tongue danced around my glans and I couldn't help but to moan.
Before I knew it, I was at Shaw's. I exploded all over my seat, adding yet another stain, a symbol of my pleasure, to the fabric of my car and diffusing the arousing smell of semen. I quickly came to my senses as the playful apparition slowly faded.
Indifferent, I left the car aloof of the stains on my pants. As I perused through Shaw's' diverse collection of candies, I noticed Yili walking down the aisle with another Indian woman. That woman could not be her mother, I thought, she was Indian, but strangely I could not bring myself to feel a sense of kinship with this woman. I quickly hid behind the corner and tried to listen in.
I couldn't quite hear what they were saying, but I could see that their relationship was definitely professional. I tailed them back to their car. As I followed them, I realised that the fate of my nephew was in the hands of these two sluts. Sundeep had become akin to my own son, and I couldn't let anything happen to him.
They stopped in an alley and entered shady looking parlor. I decided to pursue them and see if I could discover the identity of that mysterious woman. As I creeped carefully down the alley, I came face to face with the mysterious woman through the parlour window. Suddenly everything was clear. This was my research partner, the same lady with whom I shared the most passionate sex, yet the most profound resent. She grinned as she saw the sign of realization on my face; however, I noticed this was no ordinary grin.
She produced the same sinister grin she had produced on that day. She mimicked a kiss with her lips as she closed the curtains. As soon as I turned around, I was greeted by a big black man, about 450 pounds, wearing pantyhose. He looked at me and struck me over the head with a stick. Of course, it was black after that. I woke up groggy and naked, with my hands tied.
My vision re-calibrated, and I was greeted by Yili and her companion. "Glad you could join us Dr. Ahmed, my favorite teacher." Yili mocked. "What do you want Anu!" I screamed. "I want redemption, Amir." Anu stated. "What, how? No one has called me that in years! Not even you, at the lab!" I was dumbfounded. Amir was my childhood name which I attempted to erase from my history; only a few people from my small village in India should have known my name was Amir. "You're stupider than I thought, Amir," Anu commented.
"Stop saying that! It isn't my name anymore!" I cried, desperate for this mental torture to end, "Just tell me what you want!" Disregarding my pleads, Anu continued, "Amir, you fool, I'm surprised all those years in the lab haven't made it anymore obvious. How about a little refresher!" Anu grabbed my cock. I immediately became aroused as she started blowing my cock. I soon came to a realisation that I indeed had met this woman. The way she blew my cock, starting from the apex and moving to the base in a zig-zag fashion, down her throat, and the way she wiggled my dick, causing it to slap the top and bottom of her mouth all while she allowed her tongue to graze against my sensitive tip.
It all came back to me. The time she, named Priya at the time, gave me head after I wooed her at a wedding when we were 12, the time she disrespected me by sleeping with another boy when we were 14, and lastly the time I drugged her, fucked her, and dropped her off in a faraway city. "You had your way with me back in India, then you screwed me over. Its my turn to have my way with you, and screw you over!
"I'm sorry, Priya, I really am! Please, don't do anything to me!" I begged. "Nothing is going to save you from your fate, Amir, but you're safe for now. I need to help Yili with that fucker Sundeep." Yili approached me and grabbed me by the throat. "So you think Sundeep can control me? You think I'm some weak chinky slut you can play around with? Think again, because from now on, Sundeep does exactly what I say; because if he doesn't, you'll be losing the only family you ever had.
And don't think you can go sneaking around our backs doing the shit you do, because Anu, excuse me, Priya, is gonna have a close eye on you as the new AP Biology teacher. Oh yeah, give me an A+ in chem, or I'll fuck your world even 2 sega con mia zia che dorme bye, sweetie!" Anu mocked, while mimicking her kiss again.
"Enjoy our parting gift!" After the wild student sex friends party on friday th scene witches left, the room, in its dank darkness, became quiet for a few moments, save the dropping of water from the ceiling.
Suddenly silhouettes of grown Indian men, 15 or 16 of them, materialized from the dark corners of the room. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by 16 old men jerking off their erect membranes with only one thing on their mind: their dick in my ass.
My hands tied to the chair, I couldn't run, no matter how much I wanted to. I knew that I would face the same humiliation Sundeep endured, so I closed my eyes and prepared for the worst. One man threw me on the floor and controlled me like a little girl. He split my legs and started to lick my balls like dog. With his saliva all over my junk, another one pushed the other man aside and started to give me head. I held back sobs as I had never been humiliated as much as this ever before.
The others slowly participated, each of them thrusting their dicks into my asshole while the others massaged my body. I tasted at least three dicks in my mouth while attempting to distract my mind with thoughts of Aashna's luscious curves.
As their climaxes synchronized, I only prepared for the worst. The next 10 minutes I was forced to gag on the smelly cocks they offered me. Every second more black european prostitute sucks cock in amsterdam sexformoney and straight entered my mouth and anus. Sometimes I was forced to swallow, but sometimes I coughed it out on another man's dick, only to have the semen reenter my mouth.
By the time they were done, I was covered in sperm and my ass was a gaping hole of shit soaked in semen. The worst part is I actually felt a humiliating sense of arousal by the time they were done with me.
Finally, the burliest man shoved his 10 inch dick in my mouth and continued to ejaculate loads of semen into my throat until, inevitably, I blacked out. I woke up the next day, at my house, bandaged. Aashna and Sundeep were there, holding my hands.
"Anu! She's here, with Yili!, I can't stop them from getting you! I can't lose you!" I screamed in a dissociated daze. "Calm down!" Sundeep said. "Were gonna get through this, Dr. Ahmed, you've got me and Aashna!" Aashna slowly massaged my cock, filling my groin with a warming pleasure while Sundeep fed me some delicious, hot tomato soup. Aashna's strokes were so gentle, not bringing me to an orgasm, but instead providing my entire body with sustained bliss.
Aashna truly was an Indian queen. "I'm so lucky I have you two." I murmured. Sundeep left the room after I finished my soup to allow Aashna to comfort me privately. She switched from merely rubbing my throbbing member to actually stroking it through my pants. Her strokes were slow yet bold, allowing me to relish in the pleasure for longer. Soon my pants were off and my dick was covered in lubricant, which allowed Aashna to use both seductive young lass rides a throbbing shaft cumshot blonde to milk my cock.
Her expert strokes remained slow and subtle, and I began to fade away with a smile on my face. The last thing I remember that night was an orgasm slowly creeping down my stomach.
Chapter 9: I'm the Sweetest Bitch You'll Ever Meet (Aashna) I woke up, slightly sweaty, my heartbeat racing. Wild teen sarai sucks big stiff cock of bf noticed that Dr. Ahmed was still sleeping. No wonder. After what I did last night, even the grinch would sleep till noon. I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom fully nude. I examined myself in the mirror.
"Goddammit I'm so fucking hot", I thought as I examined my mocha flavored body. I ran my hands down my curves and on my hips thinking, "I'm a fucking queen." I caressed my nice round tits, pinching my nipple with one hand while putting another on my hairy clit. I turned on the water for the bathtub and soon immersed my body into its warmth. As the hot water molested my insides, I slowly rubbed my hand back and forth over my pussy, imagining Dr.
Ahmed giving it to me while I feasted on Sundeep's little dick. Despite the warmth of the water, I felt goosebumps creeping down my arms from my shoulder. With my other hand I splashed some water on my boobs as I kept massaging them. "This is what a girl like me needs!" I moaned. As I tickled my nipple with my tongue, I shoved two fingers up my pussy, massaging my clit with my index finger. My pussy felt like jelly as I slowly moved my fingers in and out, and, unlike that bitch Yili, it smelled like nectar.
"Holy fuck, I'm so perfect" I purred as I thrusted my fingers in and out of my pussy faster and harder. I felt my tits jiggling as my nipples brushed against my arms. As I focused on the thought on Sundeep pounding me, I suddenly felt vulnerable, but I exploded, unleashing periodic squirts of cum that landed everywhere in the room. I purred and cooed and moaned and screamed as one squirt followed the next. When it was all over, I sunk into the tub, my mind at rest and my body a limp temple.
"I think I love Sundeep," I cooed with a smile on my face. The alarm rang from the other room, rousing me from my stupor. Fuck, it's time to go to school. Sundeep, taking cue from his uncle, walked in completely nude, a toothbrush hanging from his mouth. Dr. Ahmed followed. "Can you spend a whole fucking day without masturbating?" sighed Dr. Ahmed. "Can you spend a whole fucking day without licking pussy?" I jeered back. "Touche." "Hey," said Sundeep in a quiet, innocent voice, "Will you take a shower with me?" I squealed, overcome with joy as I jolted up from my bath and ran into the shower to embrace my fellow classmate.
He inserted his engorged shaft into my pussy and started thrusting. "Oh, fuck this." exclaimed Dr. Ahmed, quickly taking off his clothes. He rushed into shower to teach his pupils how to get the job done. I was sandwiched. With Dr. Ahmed keeping a firm grip around my fragile frame, fucking me up the ass, and Sundeep plowing my pussy, I couldn't help but to laugh and giggle as I was treated like a queen by my servants.
Our bodies, lubricated with the soap, slickly rubbed against each other. I clenched my groin and anus, tightening my grip on their cocks, prompting louder moans of excitement.
I was in control. It was so satisfying being the cause of these men's pleasure. Most of my excitement came from the sweet and innocent Sundeep. I had a thing for people like him, young boys whose minds were still malleable and innocence: still intact. I put my arms around Sundeep's neck and playfully ran my hands across his face. I clenched my pussy harder, encasing his dick in sexy lady sells tiara and gets smashed tight trap.
I stuck my tongue deep inside his mouth and gave him the best kiss he ever received. Being the experienced man he was, Dr. Ahmed initiated his orgasm himself when he noticed that Sundeep was about to blow. Stream after stream of Dr. Ahmed's and Sundeep's nectar entered my body. I wasn't scared of getting pregnant. When they finished, Dr. Ahmed nonchalantly left the shower, saying "That one was pretty good Aashna." Sundeep on the other hand was left panting, his head in my shoulders and arms around my waist.
I stroked the back of his head as he regained his strength. This was my favorite feeling in all the world, the feeling that I just gave a young boy the time of his life. Shame that, in a few years, Sundeep would be a hardened veteran like Dr.
Ahmed. My love for him would fade as I move on to another young target. That's not to say I would stop fucking that hard dick from time adorable girl is pounded so well hardcore and blowjob time. Chapter 10: Old Times, New Rules As I got to school, I noticed that Mrs.
Anu had already gotten the job as the new AP Biology teacher. A casting hottie goes home after hardcore penetration and butt hole fucking photograph of her sexy, sinister visage was tacked to the school bulletin board.
I had much to learn about her erotic-hate relationship with my uncle. As we filed into her class, Yili stared at me. She slowly lifted up her mini skirt just enough for me to take a glimpse at her hairy bush. Mrs. Anu walked in wearing a white, slightly transparent shirt, where you could just make out the shape of her nipples.
Her shirt revealed a great amount of cleavage, and her mini skirt revealed a lot of skin, much to the excitement of my male classmates. "Good morning class, I'm Mrs. Anu and I will be teaching Biology for the rest of the year." Class began right away, with no hesitation. The topic Anu decided to start the class with didn't surprise me one bit. "I'd like to start with the reproductive system. Sean, pass these worksheets back," Anu said, bending over with her hands on Sean's desk.
This position gave Sean a great view of Anu's tits, hanging five inches in front of his face. Sean just stood there wide eyed, and Anu had a smirk on her face as she placed the papers down.
I almost expected Anu to bitch Sean out for staring, but to my surprise she turned around and walked to the board, being sure to move her hips. A smile appeared on Sean's face. "She totally wants the d," he whispered to me. He really had no clue who he was old suck forced with feeling with.
Anu gave a pop quiz on what we learned the previous year. As usual, I raped it, probably with a hundred as well. At the end of class, Anu called me up and handed me the quiz. A 79! "This is impossible Anu, I got every question correct!" I complained. "Come after school, at around six, and we'll talk." "But six is late!" "Listen up, dickhead, I'm the teacher, show up at six or there will be conse-" Anu trailed off and hollered, "Bye Sean, see you in class tomorrow!" "Anu, why are you treating Sean like that?" "I'm fucking with his head, now fuck off and don't let me see you until six," Anu snapped.
After dicking around for three hours, a time which entailed talking to Aashna and her friends, jacking off in the stall, and avoiding Yili, I entered Anu's room. "Sit down, bitch," Anu demanded. She seized my hand and placed it on her breast for a second. Anu's breasts were even more perfect than Aashna's. The lump fit snugly into my outstretched hand, and they were firm, yet supple. She quickly took my hand off, saying, "See, I'm a little bit like Aashna. I love innocent little boys like you, but I'm also a lot different.
Unlike Aashna, I devour little punks like you." "What are you going to do to me?" I questioned, scared. "You're lucky today, Sundeep, that I'm not feeling particularly horny today, for Indian guys at least. But about that 79. Don't fucking complain, or I'll totally fuck your world! Now get out of my office," she snapped. The next morning I rushed into Dr. Ahmed's office. "What the fuck is this" I said, slamming the paper on his desk.
"Listen, I know you're pissed", said Dr. Ahmed, "But we have no choice, either we do this, or we spend the next 30 years in a jail cell getting raped by guards." He continued, "I also found these wiretaps in my office. They must have been transmitting our conversations to Yili and Anu.
For now, we just listen to them and slowly come up with a plan to end this chaos. For now, you'll just have to impress Anu with your obedience, she may lighten up." Suddenly Yili and Anu busted into the room. "Listen up you two, if you don't wanna get fucked by the law, I suggest that you listen to me" explained Anu. "We have a huge Indian wedding coming. It's my sister's and both my parents will be coming to New York.
They believe I'm married, so I want Ahmed to be daughter ivy rider gets ravaged by big black dick husband. If either of you even think about fucking it up, I'll end your manhood and send you to the gallows! And Sundeep, don't worry. Yili will be there to accompany you, so don't try anything funny." They left the room in same manner as they entered it: with no respect.
"You gotta be kidding me Ahmed!, I've never been to an Indian wedding!" I complained. "This is not good" sighed Dr. Ahmed, "Your mother and father will be there; as tempting as it may be, you cannot notify them of our situation. Your parents also know me well enough to know that I'm single. If they see me with Anu, things will just get more fucked up.
This is going to be tough." Since Dr. Ahmed was staying after school to help some dumb fucks, I walked home. I was startled as a familiar voice called out my name. "Hey Sundeep! You fucking slutbag!" "Huh?" I turned around only to be greeted by old friend. Sam stood there, looking very nonchalantly with a grin on his face. "You gotta be fucking kidding, You!?" "Haha, my parents wanted to leave that shit-hole Milkwater for New York, I'd never thought I'd see you here!".
"Its good to see you Sam, still disrespectful to chicks?". "What do you think?" We walked home, catching up on the time we missed earlier.
Chapter 11: Wedding Crashers I have never seen so many Indians in one place since I last went to India. Indians girls congregating together talking about cute Indian guys; Indian guys making perverted comments about Indians girls; Indian parents flirting with other Indian parents; this was bliss. Dr. Ahmed walked in holding Anu's hand.
I've got to admit, they looked very sexy together. Dr. Ahmed was wearing a classy, white suit with a pair of loafers. Anu wore a traditional yet risque black bikini top sari, creating a wonderful contrast with Dr. Ahmed's white suit. Luscious girl with nice gazoo gives massage came with my parents and my two brothers. I saw Yili through the crowd talking to a bunch of pretty Teen homemade punish my yearold arse and mouth girls.
She wore a Chinese style dress that blended perfectly into the Indian fashion. Dr. Ahmed walked up to my family and hollered, "Hey didi!" My mother came and hugged her little brother. I still couldn't believe he was my uncle. "Can I borrow Sundeep?" asked Dr. Ahmed? "Borrow him? You can keep him, maybe he'll learn something!" "Yeah he'll learn something alright," I heard Dr. Ahmed mutter slyly. I walked with Ahmed around the hall, through crowds of people. The girls gave us flirtatious looks as they passed by.
"Listen Sundeep, I don't have much time, 'cause Anu will notice that I'm gone. We need to fuck up this wedding without them two noticing that we caused it." We split up, and I soon received a text message from Ahmed showing me a picture of his junk.
Goddamn this wedding is gonna be fun. First we needed Yili out of the picture. With her gone, I could roam around without arousing suspicion. I called Sam, and although he wasn't invited, sneaking him in wasn't a problem. About 10 minutes later, Sam arrived looking all slick for the ladies he didn't even respect.
"Dude, this is nice party you got goin' here, those Milkwater bitches can go fuck themselves." "Sam, I know she isn't your type, but I need you to distract Yili, for the night." "O goddammit Sunny, you know I treated her like shit back at Milkwater right?" "I know but you're gonna have to try and do this m'kay?" Sam walked off and got a drink, and nervously, he approached Yili. "Yo Yili. Wassup!?" said Sam out of the blue. Yili, shocked to see Sam, replied "What the fuck do you want you goon?" "Listen, I know I was a jerk to you back at Milkwater, but I wanna make it up to you.
How bout we get outta here?" Yili, surprisingly, accepted his offer with a conniving look on her face that I disregarded at the time. She approached me, "You better stay on your best behaviour Sundeep, or the punishment gets worse.I'm off to have a little fun with your friend Sam." "I understand Yili. I'll be good". And she was gone! I could finally do whatever I wanted!
Ahmed approached me again, "Great now that Yili is gone, we need to focus on fucking this place up. You stay here and see if you can distract Anu. You'll know when the plan progresses," Dr. Ahmed informed. "Umm, okay?" I had no idea what Ahmed was up to. But whatever it was, it was gonna be good. I approached Anu, my heart beating tremendously. "Hi Anu." I muttered nervously. "Where's your faggot uncle?" Anu snapped. "I think he's taking a shit, umm, he's uh, constipated or something." I replied off the top of my head.
"Ugh!" Anu complained, "Ami-i mean Dr. Ahmed was always disgusting." "What?" I questioned, "Amir?" "Never mind, I'm craving some prepubescent cock, come with me!" Feeling offended, as I had long undergone puberty, I followed, saying, "What are you going to do to me." "Whatever the fuck I like!" She dragged me into a back room, holding my hand tightly, her grip virtually crushing my bones.
She set me down on the bed. "I've bet you've never seen a milf as sexy as me before have you." "No, Anu, you're beautiful." "Shut the fuck up, never call me that, you're my bitch, and you will act like my bitch, are we clear?" "Yes." I gulped. "Good, now let's start where we left off." Anu put my hands on her massive breasts and urged me to super hot blond milf shows tight body them.
They were firm and supple, and they surpassed the size of my palm. I massaged them all around, feeling the luscious curves. "Take my top off," she said softly. As I took her top off, I noticed dribbles of white liquid running down her sides. "Suck, drink my nectar." I was taken aback. I was actually going to drink breast milk.
This was a fetish of mine that I had always wished to fulfill. I slowly encased her nipples with my lips. I played with it using my tongue, hitting it back and forth. "Hurry up and fucking suck!" Anu yelled, loudly this time. Her milk tasted somewhat sweet. I allowed it to spray in my mouth, enjoying every last drop. Anu suddenly grabbed my cock through my pants and began to violently rub it. She took off my pants and stroked my cock hard.
Her grip was tight, like she was wringing a towel. She boldly stroked up and down, indifferent to my pleas. "Anu, you're hurting me! Stop!" "Shut the fuck up and keep sucking!" I could barely drink her milk because the pain in my cock was blinding, but each second I didn't suck, the harder Anu stroked.
As I sucked her sweet milk, the pain in my cock continued to increase, but so did the pleasure. I learned that pain multiplies the effect of stimulation. Sweeping waves of pleasure suddenly overcame my entire body, starting from the head of my dick, which stung the most, emanating down my shaft and up my abdomen, tingling my shoulders, arms, and legs.
I couldn't control myself, and squirt after squirt of my semen spewed all over her tits. (Ahmed) I quickly bolted out of the hall area to avoid Anu and the others. I walked down the hallway and noticed that the ventilation shaft was unscrewed and open. I slipped into the shaft. It was very dark in there, but sporadic areas of illumination radiated from the rooms below it. As I crawled through the vent, I peered into each shaft opening below me. An old man shitting in the toilet, passing putrid gas.
Great. The next opening was interesting. Two young girls, probably a little younger than Sundeep were standing in front of the bathroom mirror, fixing their make up. "Have you seen Sundeep!" "Yeah, oh my god, he is so cute!" "I was talking to him!" "Oh my god! So lucky! What did you say?" "Oh I told him he was such a cutie right to his face! And he was so cool, he just told me he knew!" "Aaahhh!!" The other squealed in delight as she caressed her bosom in excitement.
"I want him so bad!" "Oh and then Sundeep's uncle, Ahmed I think. He might be kind of sexy, but he is so creepy though, how are they related?" I was offended at these bitches' impudence, but as they were beautiful specimens, I didn't care.
"OMG yes! Ahmed couldn't stop staring at my tits!" The other exclaimed. "But I still cannot get over Sundeep, I would, like, marry him or something!" The first girl began to walk towards the door, to my dismay, but then she surprised me by locking it. "Talking about those two really got me wet!" She said. "My pussy really needs some attention." "Oh then I can give it all the attention it needs!" They began to kiss each other, slowly at first, moaning ever so slightly.
Unlike the shit lesbian porn on the Internet, this was true passion. The first girl pushed the second onto the counter in a sitting position and stroked her body. The first was wearing a tight black tang pajama that was tailored to her curves.
The second wore a blue bikini top sari. They pressed their tits against each other. As they kissed, they twisted their hips to rub their wet pussies together.
At this point I clutched my cock and began to slowly stroke; I couldn't give up such a perfect opportunity. As their kissing became deeper, the second girl took the first girl's top off, revealing her bra-less chest.
Her tits were small, correlating to her age, but round and shapely. She unbuttoned the other girls tang pajama, revealing her bare breasts. Hers were big for her young age, and as the two girls kissed, her breasts jiggled ever so slightly. The big boobed girl slowly moved her hand down to the other girls pussy, rubbing it in a small circular fashion. The other girl cupped the big boobed girl's breasts, fitting them beautifully in sex publicagent com storys completos nudevista porno hand.
At this point it was too much, and stroking my cock as hard and fast as I could, I spewed my seed everywhere. As I was becoming older, I was becoming more and more careless. I became oblivious to my surroundings due to the blinding pleasure at the sasha grey playing with my creampie creampiegirlswebcam big butt bigtits of my dick, and accidentally lost control of my ejaculate, carelessly letting it drip right through the vent, on top of the girl's big breast.
"What the fuck!" the girl cried. "Oh my god, wait a minute," the girl exclaimed while looking up straight at the vent while sampling the delicacy on the other girl's breast, "It's some random creep's cum!" They both approached the vent slowly.
I tried to stay quiet and slowly crawl away from the opening as one of the girls peered in. Suddenly, I banged my knee against the wall and murmured, "Shit!" "Oh my god, I'm gonna call the fricken police on this fuck's ass!" The girl screamed.
As the girl began to dial, I kicked open the vent and jumped down. "Put down the fucking phone!" I demanded. "Oh my god, it's that creep Dr. Ahmed," one of the girls yelled.
Without thinking, I pulled out my tranquilizing needle, which I was saving for a good, sexy opportunity, and stabbed one of the girls in the neck. She frantically screamed and tried to fight the overwhelming grogginess. I snatched the phone from the other girl, grabbed her, and squeezed her neck in the right spot to knock her out.
With both girls unconscious on the floor, I took a seat on the counter and breathed a sigh of relief. "Two beautiful princesses unconscious in front of me.
This should be fun," I muttered to myself. Formulating a plan of action in my head, I picked the big breasted girl up and placed her on the counter. She was the one who had been tranquilized, so I knew I had a longer time to spend with her.
As for the other girl, I placed her in a sitting position right next to the other girl. For starters, I just had to feel the first girl's huge breasts. I had never seen such lovelies on a 15 year old girl before. I pinched her nipples methodically and pulled them in and out, allowing her tits to jiggle a little bit.
Even through her unconscious state, she manage to utter an almost inaudible, yet satisfied moan. This was only proof of my prowess.
I couldn't ignore the other beaty, however, and I inserted a finger into her gap, rubbing gently at first. This girl was shaved, and her pussy was a perfect slit in her groin. As I thrusted harder, I began to kiss the other girl's breasts, eventually beginning to suck on her nipples.
When I touched them, her breasts melted into my hands. As I sucked, I could feel her soft skin tickling the gums of my mouth.
At this point I was fingering the second girl violently with four fingers, being careful to run over her clit while still sucking the first girl's breasts. I was surprised at how much pleasure I could provide stimulating that girl's breasts. Eventually I had my cock inside the girl with the big tits while I was sucking on her tits and fervently fingering the other girl. My cock was hot starlet kelly divine take cocks from ass to face with lexington steele anthony rosano christian hard and stiff as it slid smoothly in and out of the pussy.
As my pleasure reached its climax, I began to unleash myself inside the girl. I felt my cock palpitate with each spurt as the girls own juice squirted out, soaking my dick. The other girl's body was visibly shaking as she unleashed squirt after squirt all over my hands.
After pulling out, I realized that I most likely got that girl pregnant. Fuck that, she's a slut. As I exited the vent, I found myself in another part of the hall. I ran down the corridor, under the security camera and into the room on the right. Within in a few moments, I found myself in a bathroom. A technician was taking a piss at the urinal. I sex mature bbw rare story best up behind and grabbed him. I held his right with my right and pressed my left on his throat.
I squeezed his neck to knock him unconscious, dragged the body into the bathroom, and changed into his clothes. Examining the details of the event, I noticed that the wedding was right above the septic tank!
I took the elevator to the basement. The other technicians looked at me oddly, saying they had never seen me before. I said I was new and carried on. I managed to get to the septic tank. God it smelled like shit in there. I turned the knob to increase the rate of intake of the tank to full. I walked back to the bathroom, got changed back into my suit, and crawled through the ventilation shaft to get back to the wedding.
Sundeep had an odd look on face, looking like he just did "something" with Anu. I approached Anu. "Where the fuck were you?" she demanded. "I went to ahh, um take a dump." " Alright, it doesnt matter. Dance with me." Chapter 12: When the Shit hits the Fan The ceremony was done, and the real party began.
Everyone flooded to the dancefloor to show everyone their moves. Drunk parents danced like idiots while the Indians boys tried to make their moves on their princesses. By now the bride and groom were dancing, grinding together. I walked up to the floor and joined Aashna.
"Hi Sundeep! How's the plan going!?" "I dunno, Aashna, this night has been crazy, and I don't know what Ahmed is up to. Whatever it is, it gonna be big." As we danced together, I noticed Ahmed, dancing, giving Aashna a look. Aashna said to me, "It's time, brace yourself". She walked away from me towards a group of Indians girls dancing behind the groom. She squeezed one's ass, cupping it with her hand. The girl, shocked, turned around thinking that the groom did it. "What the fuck is wrong with you!
It your goddamn wedding!" She cried. The groom, looking so innocent, had no idea what happened "What!? I didn't do anything" "I felt what you did you sick fuck!" She turned to Anu's sister, "Why the fuck are you marrying this fuck when he is cheating on you already?" The bride kicked her prince in balls, and as he collapsed on the floor, Aashna came around and pulled the string on the back of her grown, causing it to fall off and revealing her bare chest.
Everyone gasped as she tried to cover herself with anything she could find. Then, suddenly, I felt that the floor was wet. The floor was covered with this brown water. The place began to shake like an earthquake. Then all of a sudden a fountain of semi-solid shit came spurting up from the ground, covering everyone. People screamed. Dr Ahmed came and grabbed me and as we ran through the rain of shit, a spark from someone's cigarette landed on a piece of cloth, setting it on fire.
We made it outside in one piece along with the other guests. The hall burning in a pile of shit, the wedding was in ruins. "You gotta be kidding me uncle, how the hell did you pull this off?" "What are you talking about Sundeep?
We didn't do anything!" Suddenly I witnessed a naked, pitch brown, coolie streaking through the wedding campus. He was a skinny motherfucker, his ribs showing and all, but he had massive cock, almost 10 inches. His rock hard cock, pointing to the sky like a pole, was jiggling as he ran. As young boys noticed him, they laughed.
As young girls noticed him, they screamed. The girls flocked to their men for protection. Dr. Ahmed only laughed. "I always knew I could count on my buddy, Venkat, when I needed." Chapter 13: Tragedy After a great night, Dr. Ahmed, Aashna, and I felt like we were on top of the world. The entire car ride was filled with, "Remember when I did this," "Remember when she cried," and many more hilarious anecdotes of the night.
We had finally won the battle, and we were truly convinced that we would not see anymore of Yili and Anu. The radio ran soft under our excitement. But suddenly, over our cheers and comments, I made out the word, "Milkwater," over the radio. "Dr. Ahmed, turn up the fucking radio!" "Recent developments in a mysterious Milkwater disappearance.
Young girl, Chelsea Red's body found naked near Hudson river. Suspects being interviewed." "Shit, fuck, shit, mother fuck! What the fuck, I'm screwed, I'm fucking screwed, I-" "Sundeep calm down!" Dr. Ahmed yelled. "How the fuck can I calm down! I'm screwed, they're gonna find me, I'm done, my life is fucking ruined, down the drain 'cause my fucking dick couldn't control itself!" "Sundeep, never doubt your cock.
There's no way the cops can trace anything back to you. No one saw you right?" "No one saw me, I'm not worried about that. But Yili and Anu." "Sundeep, there is no way they know that we fucked up the wedding. They think they had us on their leash. I know Yili wouldn't snitch unless she had good enough reason. I hope." "I seriously hope you're right. This wedding idea was stupid." The rest of the car ride passed in silence and suspension.
Suddenly Dr. Ahmed started to mutter. "No. It can't be," Ahmed murmured with his gaze out the window. "Sundeep, stop the car, I saw something strange in our path." I walked out to investigated, and I was greeted with a large, brown, eviscerated penis lying in a pile of mud. "What the fuck is that uncle!?" "I know that dick anywhere; god-fucking dammnit Venkat, what the hell, Anu is fucked up.
She killed Venkat, my best friend!" "Uncle were you really good friends with Venkat?" "We grew up together. We did everything together. Fuck Anu, she's going down." Farther ahead were puddles of fresh blood illuminated by the pale moon. The penis became the starting point to a windy trail that lead us to through the forest. We soon found his legs, thighs, torso, arms and finally his head; all dismembered and dispersed like dog's food in the wilderness.
Yili and Anu were showing us who we're dealing with: maniacs As we reached the end of forest, we saw Ahmed's house was lit up like a circus. The perimeter of Dr. Ahmed's house was covered yellow tape. At least four cop cars. their sirens wailing, were pulled into the driveway. A spotlight on the ground, not placed there by the cops, illuminated a bloody figure, crucified on a cross. As we pulled in closer, the figure became more apparent to me. It was a brutal and bloodied corpse.
Her feet looked pale and bloody. My gaze slowly moved up her legs and to her groin. Most of body parts had began to decompose and they were covered with various kinds of bacteria. My gaze moved up her torso. One breast had been removed. Her nipples were eviscerated. My gaze slowly moved up to her pale complexion. She was covered in blood, red. It was Chelsea. Chapter 14: In the Air Tonight To see Chelsea strung up in front of everyone like a museum exhibition made me cringe inside.
Dr. Ahmed's phone rang; he frantically picked it up. "You know, I had some nice fucking fun with that darkie tamil friend Venkat of yours. By now, the whole goddamn police with be looking for you fuckers and I can say there is no way this can end without your asses in an electric chair." Ahmed, out of spite, hung up his phone and threw it across the sky. "That fucking cunt!" "What are we going to do Ahmed!?", Aashna asked.
" I don't know, but I know that you must go; go back to your house, you'll be safe there." Aashna left, leaving me and my uncle to sort this mess out. We had heard down the grapevine that Sam survived his encounter and was in the hospital. We arrived at the local hospital and checked into Sam's room. Sam lay on the bed with a cast around his arm and a batch of bandages around his groin. A catheter was connected from his groin to a bag where his urine was collected. "You alright Sam? I asked.
"Fuck no, Yili is a fuckin' lunatic!" "What happened?" I asked "Well at the wedding, YIli and me left the hall and went to my apartment. The sex was all good and wet until she started giving me head. She bit my fucking dick off and squeezed my balls into jelly." "Jesus Christ Sam, what are you gonna do?" I asked. "Nothing. Looks like im gonna have to pee through a hole for the rest of my life.
Sex can go out of the window as well." "Shit, these bitches have gone too far with this." said Ahmed. "Ahaha, I don't blame them. You two seem to have ways to break a girl's heart as easy as you catch them." joked Sam. Dude just lost his dick, I'd expect him to be pissed, but he was the original, fun Sam. "Sundeep, we gotta go.
I have to make an important phone call. Goodbye Sam." "Goodbye you two. And Sundeep?" Asked Sam. "Yeah bro?" "Give those bitches hell will-ya?" We drove to a payphone. Ahmed picked up the lovely kitten stretches tight snatch and loses virginity phone and dialed a number. "Anu, I think we need to end this." "Ahmed, the only way this can end is with you in the ground." "Anu please, I'm only doing this for Sundeep.
If i give myself up, will you leave Sundeep alone?" "I don't give a crap what you do with Sundeep, I just want you." Ahmed hung up the phone. "Ahmed! Why are you doing this! They're gonna kill you!" "Do you think I don't know that! Do you know why I'm doing this; Not for fun, for you! Dammit Sundeep, I love you!" I couldn't believe this man. His unconditional love broke me down. I couldn't say no to the man. We drove to the docks. We got out and were immediately greeted by Yili and Anu.
"Why do we need this asshole dead? Why can't we deliver justice to this little fuck. He's the one that killed Chelsea." "Why the hell are you so obsessed with Chelsea? She wasn't even your friend!" "I wasn't friends with her, no. But I needed her alive.
You don't understand Anu, Sundeep rid me of the ultimate lesbian experience." "Is that really what this was all about, Yili? A lesbian experience? You're still so young and naive." "So what if I wanted Chelsea! You promised me you would help me." "You were but a pawn, Yili.
A pawn in my masterful scheme of revenge. You served well, but I no longer need you." "Why don't you forget about Sundeep, I can kill him myself." "Sundeep is young and pure. Ahmed is the one who deserves death for wronging me like this. Matter of fact, you deserve death for being such a lunatic. Fuckin' lesbian experience." Anu said all this while slowly revealing her .357 revolver.
She slowly raised the end so that it was pointing at Yili's head. I saw the fear breaking out on Yili's face. She fell to her knees as she broke out in tears and began to beg. I always knew lunatics like her were weak in the end. "Anu, no! I have a full like to be lived! I haven't even had lesbian sex yet!" "You are a disgusting piece of slutty trash, Yili.
How many dicks did you suck after 'starting to live highschool life'? Ever since you stopped studying you've been sucking dick and getting fucked." Mascara was beginning to run down Yili's face. Her cries sounded like cows giving birth.
No matter how hot Yili was, she was so fucking ugly crying. She began to crawl towards Anu, and Anu kept the gun pointing to her head. Yili stopped in front of Anu and grabbed her hips and shook her. "Please! Don't kill me! I'll do anything for you!" Yili pulled down Anu's pants and began slurping on the pie in front of her.
Anu grabbed Yili's hair and pulled it, and Yili's cries were amplified. "I love this so much! Getting my pussy eaten by a girl like you, so distressed. Suck, work for your freedom!" Yili began to vigorously suck Anu's pussy dry.
She then inserted her fist deep inside Anu's pussy. Anu shot Yili in the leg. Yili's moan resounding in my ears was probably the most vile, disturbing experience in my life. There was so much despair and distress in her voice, that my skin tingled in awe of this sublime. The sublimity of this desperation to live, so strong that it would force her to this level. The fact that Anu could get any pleasure out of this disgusted me. "Not good enough, don't make me shoot your other leg!" Yili inserted her arm deeper into Anu's pussy until it was submerged to the elbow.
She thrusted her arm in and out, and stimulated Anu's pussy directly with her other hand while slurping on the juices that were produced by this overwhelming pleasure. Anu's deep sounding, sexy moans increased in fervor. She grabbed Yili's arm and yanked it out of her pussy. She grabbed Yili's head and thrusted it to her pussy as she squirted bucket loads directly into Yili's throat.
Yili began to gurgle and choke. Her eyes were teary and her face was full of huge, black streaks of dried Mascara, topped with wet, running Mascara. She struggled to move her head but Anu's death grip was strong. Eventually, Yili's body was shivering. Anu threw her to the ground and finished her with a shot from her .357 straight up her pussy. "That was fun. Now back to business." Anu was a lunatic. I saw this in her eyes, which derived so much pleasure from this act.
I looked towards Ahmed, however, and his face was filled with lust for this woman and her greed for sexual pleasure. "Cmon, lets get this over with." said Ahmed in a restless manner. "Why couldn't you just love me Ahmed; this could have all been avoided!" "Don't you ever think for a second that I knew I made a mistake Anu? I'm human too! I wish I could take it all back. I still love you Anu and if you still love me, then we can still be together!" Anu hesitated. Tears began to roll giving daddy blowjob older gentleman and his princess her eyes and guilt struck her heart.
"How can I forgive you though! You ruined my life!" "Anu! I'm sorry! I always have been. I was young and foolish. I have grown up now. Tell me, Anu, do you love me?" "I- I do." She lowered the gun and dropped it on the floor. She fell to her knees. We could hear the police sirens becoming louder and louder. Ahmed picked up the revolver. And lifted Anu into his arms. "Sundeep, when the police come, I want you to say that I shot you and that I was the one who killed Chelsea and Yili." "Where will you go uncle?" I asked.
"Somewhere. It's better that you don't know where." "I'm gonna miss you Ahmed." "You too friend, tell your mom that I love her and enjoy life with Aashna; you better pound that pussy until it hangs." Ahmed kissed Anu, who was laying in his arms. They kissed until the cops showed up.
He shot me into the arm. I dropped to floor. My vision was blurry and arm felt like it had fallen off. I saw Ahmed and Anu dive into the water and disappear, with the cops desperately, but futilely chasing after the two.
The police called for an ambulance. I was saved. Chapter 15: Epilouge Ever since my involvement with the police and Ahmed, my parents forbade me to hang out with my friends at night. All of my chats were monitored and my phone was checked daily by my parents.
My testimony was believed and the police thought that Ahmed was behind the Chelsea murder. Life was nearly back to normal. My mother refused to acknowledge the existence of her brother; she said he was disgrace to her whole family.
Senior year was over and I was going to be going to be studying chemistry at the University of Toronto with Aashna. Aashna and her family came over for dinner to celebrate this wonderful moment. We all sat around the big table. As we cory chase and bailey brooke crazy way, Aashna placed her hand under the table and grabbed my crotch. I became struck with an animalistic urge to fuck.
We rushed upstairs after dinner and into my room, locking the door. We stripped each boy and anti hinde porn move butt naked fiddled with our genitals.
I picked up Aashna by her hips, and placed her on the bed like a prized possession. I proceeded to caress and lick her kinky lesbo babes are spreading and fisting ass holes dessert that was placed between her legs. She moaned and grasped the edges of the bed, moving her torso up in and down. I spat on her twat and seamlessly inserted my key into the lock. She gasped her soft arms around my back and wrapped her legs around me.
"I adore you Sundeep, you are my fucking life" "I couldn't imagine life without you either Aashna." I kissed her neck and proceeded down her body, pinched her soft nipples with my mouth, and kissing her bare chest and down her legs to her feet. After 20 minutes of hard and sensual thrusting, I grabbed Aashna by the air and came right into her mouth.
As my future wife, she swallowed the load with utter delight. She left with her family. And when she was gone, I felt complete. I had a good life ahead me. I hadn't heard from Ahmed for se la coje asta con la mano last 6 months. Wherever he was, I knew that he hadn't forgotten me.
I owed my life to him. We would meet again for sure. I gazed up into the sky. It was littered with stars. "Sundeep! Are you preparing for chemistry next year in college!" shouted my mom from downstairs. I sighed. "Yes Ami, what else could I have been doing?" | <urn:uuid:de416814-a044-4608-9a4f-557e758e8de1> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://courseworkingrief.com/?fetyw=14&gjkspq=3157 | 2021-03-01T00:53:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361808.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228235852-20210301025852-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.986019 | 21,811 | [

San Francisquito Creek: Urban Oasis
Nearly hidden among a kaleidoscopic community of some four million Californians, San Francisquito Creek has managed to remain a remarkably undeveloped riparian oasis beneath scattered oak and redwood. The small stream that managed to escape urbanization as the boundary between the cities of Palo Alto, East Palo Alto and Menlo Park offers a sliver of hope for the most viable remaining native steelhead population in the South San Francisco Bay.
Fueled by winter rains and year-round springs, the creek’s 45 square mile watershed gathers dozens of small tributaries draining the Eastern Slope of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The short San Francisquito main stem, formed at the confluence of Bear Creek and Corte Madera Creek, flows for 12 miles east through Stanford University before meeting the southern portion of San Francisco Bay, the largest estuary on the West Coast.
Disagreements between bordering counties managed to preserve San Franciscquito as one of the only San Francisco Bay streams that is not confined to a concrete channel. Yet it could not prevent the construction of 65-foot Searsville Dam, the only thing standing between wild steelhead and access to 20 miles of native habitat upstream.
Evidence suggests coho salmon likely inhabited the stream at one time as well, alongside a host of native fish ranging from the Sacramento sucker, California roach, and three-spined stickleback to the no-longer-present Sacramento perch, squawfish, and seldom seen prickly sculpin. On the river’s edge, gray foxes have been documented near the mouth of San Francisquito Creek and on the Palo Alto Golf Course.
Built more than 120 years ago to provide drinking water for Stanford University students, Stanford-owned Searsville Dam never served that purpose and is no longer needed for the school’s non-potable water supply. Yet it continues to cause significant harm to San Francisquito Creek and the fish and wildlife that depend on it.
Steelhead trout were documented in the watershed as far back as the 1800s. The fish still migrate from the bay up to the barricade, but Searsville Dam serves as a complete barrier to their natal streams above. The dam blocks access to 20 miles of steelhead habitat upstream and reduces flows downstream, often blocking all flows in summer. It also drowned the confluence of five creeks and extensive wetlands, trading important riparian habitat for several species of birds, frogs, turtles, salamanders and other wildlife for a sediment-filled slackwater reservoir.
The reservoir is bad for native species because it has lower water oxygen levels, higher water temperatures, supports invasive species and algae blooms, and encourages the loss of water through evaporation. More than 90 percent of Searsville Reservoir is already filled in with sediment, eliminating its usefulness as a water storage facility. Unless Stanford takes action soon, the reservoir will fill in completely in coming years, posing safety risks to several nearby communities.
Despite an internal advisory committee at Stanford recommending in 2007 that Searsville Dam remain and the lake be dredged to maintain open water, the university is currently seeking additional analysis and a decision on dam removal is expected sometime in the next year.
But the writing’s on the wall. Already, San Francisquito Creek hosts the most viable remaining native steelhead population in the South San Francisco Bay, and the Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration named San Francisquito an anchor watershed for the recovery of wild steelhead trout in the bay. In 2014, a systematic study of more than 1,400 dams in California identified Searsville Dam as a high-priority removal candidate to improve environmental flows for native fish conservation.
It is time for Stanford to remove this obsolete dam to restore the health of the creek and secure the safety of its communities. | <urn:uuid:b8905ad9-b8b0-4ee1-b87b-4edc58567b86> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.americanrivers.org/river/san-francisquito-creek/ | 2021-03-01T00:13:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178361808.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20210228235852-20210301025852-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.927494 | 792 | [

High Altitude Simulation Test (HAST)
60 minute individual appointment
Community Hospital now offers High Altitude Simulation Testing (HAST) through the outpatient Pulmonary Wellness Program. This test will enhance safety for passengers with lung disease when traveling by airplane and/or automobile to high-altitude locations by evaluating their need for supplemental oxygen. As participants breathe into a mask that simulates lower oxygen levels found at high altitude, clinicians closely monitor symptoms, and are able to identify an individual's need for oxygen. You must be in stable respiratory condition and be a non-smoker to participate. We can help you obtain required doctor's referral. The testing may be covered by insurance.

Wiring Diagram for 12v Relay– wiring diagram is a simplified pleasing pictorial representation of an electrical circuit. It shows the components of the circuit as simplified shapes, and the talent and signal contacts together with the devices.
A wiring diagram usually gives guidance just about the relative aim and understanding of devices and terminals upon the devices, to urge on in building or servicing the device. This is unlike a schematic diagram, where the accord of the components’ interconnections on the diagram usually does not consent to the components’ innate locations in the done device. A pictorial diagram would affect more detail of the instinctive appearance, whereas a wiring diagram uses a more symbolic notation to heighten interconnections higher than innate appearance.
A wiring diagram is often used to troubleshoot problems and to make positive that all the connections have been made and that all is present.

Architectural wiring diagrams appear in the approximate locations and interconnections of receptacles, lighting, and remaining electrical services in a building. Interconnecting wire routes may be shown approximately, where particular receptacles or fixtures must be upon a common circuit.
Wiring diagrams use conventional symbols for wiring devices, usually rotate from those used on schematic diagrams. The electrical symbols not lonely show where something is to be installed, but next what type of device is mammal installed. For example, a surface ceiling vivacious is shown by one symbol, a recessed ceiling spacious has a stand-in symbol, and a surface fluorescent well-ventilated has choice symbol. Each type of switch has a exchange symbol and consequently pull off the various outlets. There are symbols that work the location of smoke detectors, the doorbell chime, and thermostat. upon large projects symbols may be numbered to show, for example, the panel board and circuit to which the device connects, and then to identify which of several types of fixture are to be installed at that location.

Student loan debt is on the rise, with the average 2018 graduate owing $29,800. If you're one of the 44.7 million Americans who borrowed money to get an education, you may find it difficult to keep up with your monthly loan payments after graduation. This may be due to a lack of jobs in your area for your field, the rising cost of living or a health issue that prevents you from working.
Once you default on your student loans, the lender has the right to garnish your wages. If this happens, you can request an economic hardship deferment.
TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
You can visit the Department of Education website to download a form for requesting economic hardship deferment. You'll fill out the form, sign and date it, include supporting documents and mail it to the stated address.
Challenge the Wage Garnishment
If the wage garnishment has already taken place, then you'll first want to challenge it. Check the timeline to determine whether proper procedure was followed. Garnishment can only happen after a student has defaulted on federal loans by going 270 days without making a payment. Private loans may differ, so check your promissory note for this information.
You should have also been given 30 days' notice prior to the garnishment taking place. You have a right to request a hearing before or after the 30 days' notice. At that time, you can present your case and hopefully have the wage garnishment overturned.
Request an Economic Hardship Deferment
Should you find the wage garnishment, which is typically 15 percent of your paycheck, is causing a financial hardship for you, you can request an economic hardship deferment. You can attempt this even if you were not successful in challenging the wage garnishment.
The form you'll need to fill out for federal loans is located on the Department of Education website. Be prepared to provide your personal information, including your Social Security number, your monthly income, family size and whether you are receiving public assistance or have ever served in the Peace Corps. After signing and dating the form, gather documentation to prove any information you provided on the form and mail the package to the address in the form instructions.
Make Payment Arrangements
Even if you are granted an economic hardship and the wage garnishments cease for the time being, you'll still have to pay back the student loan once the set time for the hardship has ended. Calling the lender and arranging payments that you can afford is the best way to keep the wage garnishments from resuming. In most cases, both private and federal lenders are willing to negotiate payment arrangements.
If you can demonstrate financial need, your federal loans may also qualify for one of their repayment plans. Options include the Income-Based Repayment Plan, the Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan, the Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan, and the Income-Contingent Repayment Plan.

Some thoughts on one of the places where digital tech fails to live up to some of the more grandiose promises made for it…
Digital does linear very well. So things like summing and EQ processing tend to turn out very much as expected (and presumably desired — unless one is looking for mojo — but then he’s not really looking for just EQ).
But audio signal compression is not a linear process. And some feel that analog hardware does it better (or can have more mojo); a technical case can be made. That said, and while I do use an analog compressor in my input chain, I also have some compressor plugs that I think work very well.
Now… circuit (and tape) saturation simulation is an even more mojo-intensive sort of endeavor, it seems to me.
An amp driven into saturation by an electric guitar forms a very complex, even chaotic system with many alinear, hard-to-predict performance characteristics.
And the mojo/chaos isn’t all in the amp’s circuitry, either — and it’s not all about simple amplitude-driven saturation.
As the dynamic level and as the frequency of the signal put out by the guitar changes, it changes the impedance relationship with the amp, making — particularly at sub-saturation and low-saturation levels — that relationship extremely dynamic.
Depending on the guitar, amp, settings, and playing style, relatively small changes in playing can make very noticeable changes in the sound coming out of the amp.
When a knowledgeable, sophisticated player knows his guitar and his amp and sets it accordingly, he can often capture a wide range of timbral expression without even touch a knob.
That’s why you sometimes here folks say, The tone is in his fingers.
But if the guitarist didn’t know how to set up the relationships between his guitar to make the most of his playing dynamics, the sound of the amp might sound almost as undynamic — and uninspiring — as many amp sim presets.
And one of the main problems is that that highly dynamic impedance relationship that a guitar and amp have is not mirrored by the dynamic relationship between the guitar and the analog front end of something like a computer AD or the AD in the POD.
And once the signal is digitized, that dynamic is carved in stone, except for what little chaos one can pull out of feedback from live monitoring. You can get some typically very limited, highly undynamic feedback from your EG picking up the acoustic energy coming out of your speakers — but it is nothing like the highly complex, highly dynamic relationship of an EG going into a conventional amplifier, where there is some form dynamic signal continuity all the way from the pickups to the speaker.
This is a subject that is fresh for me because, last night, after an uncharacteristically hot day in an apartment where the heat lingered on, the last thing I wanted to do was fire up my Blues Jr tube amp and the 24 channel board I normally use to route my live tracking and cue mix through. So I pulled out the POD XT that a friend left here a few years ago. I’ve now spent a total of maybe 8 or 10 hours playing with it and I know it pretty well.
I was able to get some OK-ish sounds. But I kept feeling like I was fighting both the unit and my interface’s direct monitoring latency — not a huge amount of latency, by any stretch, probably about 4 ms (AD/DA into AD/DA — but not routed through the computer). Still, I could sort of put myself in a head space where I ‘played ahead’ enough to make it work rhythmically, for the most part.
But the sound, while not bad, was just not anything like the glassy (but noisy), highly dynamic tones I can get out of the Fender amp. | <urn:uuid:79873509-1387-47f7-890a-18eb38d34b25> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://tkmajor.com/mbo/2011/05/ | 2021-03-04T05:40:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178368608.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304051942-20210304081942-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.962189 | 806 | [

The accelerated phase of chronic myelogenous leukemia is the phase that can develop after the chronic phase, but before the blast crisis phase. It is a transitional phase that may lead to blast crisis. During the accelerated phase, leukemia cells begin to build up in the body more quickly. In this phase, the leukemia cells often acquire new gene mutations helping them to outsmart the TKI’s (tyrosine kinase inhibitor).
Patients that are diagnosed in this phase may feel ill and actually develop symptoms from the disease. Anemia may develop or progress causing fatigue and the white cell count may either fall to very low levels or rise because of the accumulation of blast cells. Platelet counts generally decrease. The blast cells now make up 10%-19% of the cells in the blood and bone marrow.
The treatment for this phase of CML will depend upon what treatments the patient has already had. In general, the treatments are similar to the treatments of patients that are diagnosed in the chronic phase, however, patients in the accelerated phase are less likely to have a long-term response to any treatment.
TKI’s, Gleevec (Imatinib), Tasigna (Nilotinib) and Sprycel (Dasatinib) are still an option for most people, but the dosage is often higher. Interferon, cytarabine, hydroxyurea, busulfan and bone marrow transplants may be an option for patients in the accelerated stage. The treatment goal during the accelerated phase is to regain control of the disease and to return it to the chronic phase.
This phase is quite a bit more serious than the chronic phase and can easily progress into blast crisis if untreated. If you begin to feel unusually fatigued, weak or ill, notice a significant loss of appetite or weight loss, start running a fever or have fullness or tightness in your abdomen, particularly under your left rib cage, please make an appointment with your oncologist.
The statistics that I have found state that about 50% of patients in accelerated phase of CML are alive after four years. I don’t know if that means that they are not alive after five, or that is the length of time that they have been following these patients, whatever the statistics, I know that if I develop any significant changes, I will be calling my doctor! | <urn:uuid:e3a8b01d-cec7-48fa-8868-4a929d30a9fb> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.leukemiasurvivor.co/2011/08/chronic-myelogenous-leukemia-second.html | 2021-03-04T07:22:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178368608.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304051942-20210304081942-00281.warc.gz | en | 0.938013 | 486 | [

Recipe from The Five Ingredients or Less Slow Cooker Cookbook by Stephanie O'Dea
Use a 4-quart slow cooker. Add the roasted corn kernels to the insert, and then the chopped celery, carrot, salt, and pepper. Stir in the broth. Cover and cook on Low for 7 hours or on High for about 4 hours. Use a handheld immersion blender to purée the soup until it has an even consistency with no lumps.

Windows 95 (aka “Chicago”) introduced us to the wonders of the Windows “Taskbar” as a way of managing open apps. It was a response to people’s increased ability and need to multitask in Windows, as previous versions of the OS provided no ready visual indication of how many windows were currently open. Other than a pile of open windows on the screen, obviously.
Windows 7 brought with it some brilliant enhancements to the taskbar that have pretty much remained unchanged in Windows 8 (even the spirit of the Start Button is there, if only you drift your mouse over to the bottom left of the screen…) Useful functions like Jump Lists and the ability to pin Internet Explorer favourites by dragging them directly to the taskbar (see ToW #83 and #86) are all retained in Windows 8.
Like every step forward, however, there was a down side to the changes made in Windows 7 (& by the same token to Windows 8), in the way the taskbar behaves with certain apps that offer no additional functionality by situating themselves on the taskbar (other than cluttering it up). Lync and Skype are examples of ‘always on’ but not as frequently used as Outlook, which has a permanent place on just about all of our taskbars.
There are other taskbar villains out there too – the Windows Live Messenger app always wanted to stick itself there, even if you didn’t sign in – but with the groovy “Messaging” app now part of Windows 8, you could spam FB & Windows Live Messenger, all from a single, chromeless, modern, Windows UI app style UI app, so who needs separate apps to do all those things anyway?
Here’s how to banish those Skype & Lync apps to the ‘tray notification area’ (a.k.a. systray) while they are not in use. [Rumour has it that we’re going to merge Skype & Lync together at some point and call it Slync. Actually, that isn’t true but it would be amusing and certainly better than “Klype”].
If you’re using a widescreen monitor or laptop, try setting the taskbar to the side of the screen – it’s more efficient and allows better navigation for most people. Try it out by checking out this KB article.
There are other historical artefacts littered around in Microsoft history – like the alias/login name, which for many is still their email address and is limited in length.
From a 1998 snapshot of the Microspeak Glossary:
E-Mail Names: On the surface, a reasonably logical method of distinguishing 20,000 or so Microsoft employees and contractors on the internal corporate e-mail system. Consists of a five- or six-letter alias (q.v.) constructed from first and last name — if Leonardo Di Caprio worked for Microsoft, for example, his e-mail handle would be something like "leodic." Where it gets strange is that the corporate culture fosters a substitution of the e-mail name for the real name, in memos, formal documents, and even, repellently, in conversation. (Ex: "johnd owns that issue," "contingent staffers report to edcur," and constant casual references to Bill Gates as "billg.")
[in actual fact, the maximum email name, logon name or alias length was 7 then 8 characters, a restriction originally imposed by the Xenix and then MSMail systems – Xenix was a version of Unix which Microsoft used to sell, and on which our first corporate-wide email system was based. MSMail disappeared nearly 15 years ago, yet the length limit still applies because, erm, nobody knows why. Probably.]
People continue to refer to document types by their file name extension, at least in part – “PPT” is still used (even if it’s really a PPTX); now and again you’ll talk about a “JPEG” or “MPEG”, but one of the most used is “PDF”.
The Portable Document Format was originally used by Adobe nearly 20 years ago, after the company was founded by people who had worked at the legendary Xerox PARC (having developed the PostScript page description language there, before leaving – like seemingly everyone else at PARC – with their good ideas, and making millions elsewhere).
There’s a PDF reader built into Windows 8 (called, simply, “Reader”). It’s quick, it’s clean, it isn’t full of unwanted functionality and security vulns, and it’s already there, so no downloading and updating every time you reboot. Hurah!
The downside? Well, sometimes it can look a bit funny on different machines, and it isn’t so easy to print as you might expect – on the Charms Bar (swipe from the right, throw your mouse to the bottom right, or press Wnd-C) you need to use Devices to print out.
The most annoying feature though, is when you click on a PDF link in an web page or an attachment in email, you view it in the full-screen, chromeless, Modern UI, and when you’re done, you close the window by dragging down from the middle of the top (like in any Modern UI app). And you get dumped back to the Start screen rather than the app you were in.
Ex-UK wonderboy Matt McSpirit was always a big proponent of Foxit Reader, an alternative to Adobe’s ubiquitous, monolithic and forever-needing-patched trad. PDF reader app. If you spend most of your time in the Desktop app side of Windows 8, then you might want to check it out – it integrates with browsers (of several flavours), and it is quick to launch and easy to make go away too.
If you do take a look at Foxit Reader from the link above, make sure, however, you pay attention to the install routine (this one) – like a lot of software these days, it insists on advising that if you don’t want to not install this software and not make it your undefault, then make sure you don’t not untick this already ticked box…
Check you don’t want what it wants to set your defaults, that you uncheck the checked check boxes. Check?
Following on from ToW #135, which introduced the “Peek” capability in the flat and shiny-shiny Outlook 2013, this week we’re looking at another couple. If you use Tasks, the ability to quickly see what’s due and to create a new one might be a useful feature.
Hover over the Tasks option at the bottom of the main Outlook window, and you’ll see a pop up “Peek” (right click on the Tasks option and you can “Pin the Peek” – or show Tasks off to the right of the current window, regardless of which folder you’re looking at. In the pop up window, you can mark tasks complete, you can create new ones, and if you double-click on one of the list, you’ll open the task in a new window.
Peek on People, and you can enter someone’s name to find them – akin to searching for them in the Lync client by typing the name. You can also add people to a favourites list – although it says “anywhere in Office”, it’s not quite so straightforward… at least not yet.
Lync 2013 has a “Favorites” list that is a different thing, but if you right-click on someone in Outlook, you can add to Favorites and then be able to
stalk contact them easily in future by Peeking on the People tab to see their current Lync status, and view the Lync Contact Card easily, which will afford you all the variety of ways to contact them.
The Peeks functionality doesn’t really give you anything you couldn’t quickly do with other means – press CTRL-2 to show Calendar, CTRL-3 to show People, CTRL-4 to show Tasks for example – but it brings some common functionality that bit closer if you’re using a mouse.
If you’ve taken the plunge and started using Office 2013, you may be getting used to the subtle but impactful changes to the way some information is displayed, particularly lists of emails in your inbox.
Outlook 2010 has a colourful Ribbon, emboldens folders where you have unread email, and shows everything in the mail list in the same font and with the same size (unless you create rules to tell it to do otherwise).
Outlook 2013, on the other hand, has a flatter looking, less colourful Ribbon, and by default, will show your Inbox with a single line preview of the message, and the sender’s name will be in larger text. Some of the “chrome” used in the window has been removed too – dividing lines, 3D-like edges to controls etc.
Maybe it’s all part of the
Metrofication Windows 8 Modern/Native Application Design Style-ification of the Office 2013 UI. Just don’t go into the new “Full Screen” mode, then try to close the window by dragging the window down by the middle… it might look like the UI design language until recently known as Metro, but it’s still a full fat desktop app.
In some respects, changes like the new Inbox view take a bit of adapting to, may even seem like an annoyance: in Outlook, the impact of the change of view style is that fewer messages can be seen on screen at once. There are some things you can do to mitigate this fact, though…
Office has allowed the user to make the Ribbon go away in previous versions, and in some respects it’s even more useful now if you want to maximise your screen real estate. Look on the far right of the Ribbon bar and you’ll see an upward pointing carat – click on that and the whole shooting match vanishes upwards. You’re still left with a menu bar, though, and if you click on a menu (the “View” one, for example), then the Ribbon will re-appear. If you don’t like this modus operandi, just click on the pin icon at the bottom right and you’ll be back to normal working. Pressing CTRL-F1 toggles the Ribbon between hidden and pinned, but then if you’re a keyboard junkie, what need would you have with the Ribbon anyway?
If you use the Reading Pane on the right, you might find you don’t need to worry about the one line preview below the message in the displayed view – you can tweak this by disabling the preview altogether, and you get prompted to choose if you’d like it just for this folder or for everywhere. Preview? Pah.
Some people recall messages based on their contents, others on when they were sent (hence why you get a by-default grouping based on age), and some on who the sender was – “that note from Steve last week” maybe rings a bell more than what it was called. If you prefer a good ol’ fashioned Subject first approach, then it’s possible – though not necessarily bleedin’ obvious – to switch them round again.
- Go to the View menu, in the main Outlook window
- In the Current View section, click on View Settings then Columns…
- Select the Subject and Move Up
- Hit OK to save… et voila!

Back in time would be cool as long as it doesn’t change the future.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has issued new guidance for line managers designed to make workplaces more inclusive for those with a disability or health condition.
Working in collaboration with CIPD, DWP has published a good practice guide for line managers on recruiting, managing and developing people with a disability or health condition. The guide is part of the DWP’s ‘Disability Confident’ scheme, and includes tips for managers on practical matters such as helping colleagues feel comfortable talking about disability in the workplace.
The guide outlines the business case for recruiting and developing individuals with disabilities, which is based around the acquisition of untapped – and all too often overlooked – talent recruiting individuals who are likely to be loyal and committed to their employer, having been given an opportunity.
The government has also launched a Voluntary Reporting framework, which encourages employers to report the steps they are taking to support their disabled employees and promote employee health and well-being. It also provides support for employers on reporting the percentage of individuals in their organisation who have a disability, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
Included in the guidance
The guidance provides practical advice to line managers on a host of key issues, including:
- attracting a wide range of talent
- welcoming new starters and creating an accessible induction
- the day-to-day management of employees with a disability or health condition
- the duty to make reasonable adjustments
- disclosure and confidentiality
- an effective framework for retaining people
- managing performance and development
- career progression
- further sources of information and support
According to CIPD, people managers play “a crucial role” in supporting people with a disability or health condition to thrive at work.
“This guidance provides the practical information and tools line managers need to be both confident and competent to have sensitive conversations, intervene when needed, and ensure the right adjustments are in place,” the HR body stated.
“We believe the positive impact this can have on building inclusive workplaces with engaged and productive employees is extensive and far-reaching.”

In 2004, Cemefi created the Institutionalization and Transparency Standards (ITSs) to increase transparency and accountability in civil society organizations (CSOs). A clear and transparent use of resources builds trust in organizations, facilitates strategic partnerships and increases grants and high-impact social investment.
ITSs are a set of ten objective, non-controversial and easily verifiable references that reflect the level of institutional development of the organization, and enable any person, corporation or institution to know with certainty some of the characteristics of a private, non-profit and of services to others, organization. This resource works as a voluntary institutional process of self-assessment and self-regulation Cemefi credits through documentary evidence.
(Translation: Basic: 1. Charter signed by a notary, 2. Authorized by the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit; 3. Mission, vision and objectives; 4. Verifiable address and telephone; 5. Annual report of activities and results. Medium: 6. Board separate from professional team; 7. Professional staff on the payroll; 8. Volunteers working in the teams. Ideal: 9. More than three years in operation; 10. More than three different sources of income.)
In the first half of 2012, there was a survey of the nearly 500 credited CSOs that have reached an optimal level in the Institutionalization and Transparency Standards, along with a group of corporations and corporate foundations, in order to know their opinion about the usefulness of this tool.
Results show there are many benefits for both polled groups – civil society organizations and grantmakers alike.
Nearly 85 per cent of certified organizations answered that the accreditation increased the level of confidence of their grantmakers, board members and beneficiaries of the institution. Sixty-five per cent managed to increase received grants implementing new fundraising strategies, strengthening their boards and operative teams as a result of increasing the visibility of the institution, contacting new grantmakers and redefining their strategic lines, programs and communication tools.
For participant CSOs, the accreditation process constitutes an empowerment tool that allows them to spot areas of opportunity to improve their institutional management. It is also a valuable element for increasing the visibility of organizations, leading them to improve their position with stakeholders, and increasing the possibility of finding more grantmakers and more substantial grants.
As for polled grantmakers (either corporations or corporate foundations), 80 per cent answered that the Institutionalization and Transparency Standards are a point of reference when choosing their grantees. All of them use at least three of the standards and 60 per cent request that their grantee meet at least the basic standards to be eligible for their granting programs.
Seventy per cent answered that the accreditation increases the reliability of the organization. Sixty per cent considers ITSs to be a diagnostic tool to spot areas of opportunity in institutions and have included them in their empowerment programs for grantees. In addition, the standards have contributed in positioning grantees in the community by making known the results and impact of the projects they support.
From Cemefi we share the results of this survey with followers of Latest from Alliance in order to pose a question: How can creating standards contribute to the performance and professionalization of civil society organizations around the globe? We invite you to reflect on this topic and we hope you will share your own experiences with us.

Chile is a beautiful country in South America, where I’m sure you will fall in love with its landscape, food, and people. There are only a few places in the world that make you feel like Chile does, and I 100% recommend that you plan a trip down there. I’m from Chile, so if don’t just trust me, here I have a cool fact: it was chosen the #1 adventure destination in 2018.
Ok, here are the reasons Chile should in your bucket list:
1. You can hike a glacier
It has to be one of the most amazing experiences I had at the Torres del Paine national park last year. I had the chance of hiking the Grey Glacier, a beautiful part of the southern icefield, right along the W circuit. The ice hike gave me a new perspective, connected me to nature like nothing else and made me feel small in the best way possible. I’ll never forget it.
Torres del Paine is at the top 3 of places I’ve ever been to, it’s insane. If you are ever hiking the W or the O, you must make a stop at the Grey Glacier. Bigfoot Patagonia offers kayaking and ice hike excursions. Next time I want to try the kayaking!
2. Actually, you can hike/ski/sandboard/surf/kayak whatever
Chile’s landscapes are incredibly diverse. You can hike a volcano, walk around the “mars valley” at the Atacama desert, see geysers, visit the Easter Island (yes it’s Chilean!), hike incredible mountains, surf some of the best waves in the world, ski a quick drive away from Santiago and so so much more. You will find desert, forests, glaciers, snowed mountains, and incredible beaches. Need I say more?
3.You can float in a salt lagoon
What if I told that you could swim in the middle of the desert? I visited the Baltinache hidden lagoons that are located in the middle of the Atacama desert, about 2 hours from San Pedro. They are sooo pretty and so fun! And because the salt levels are so high, you can float without even trying.
4. You can see the milky way
When I visited the Atacama desert, my friend and I did an astronomy tour. The tour guides were so knowledgable and the whole experience was magical. I think I teared up a few times (it was dark, so nobody saw LOL). You get to see some constellations and even galaxies with the naked eye. They also have telescopes to see other things up close.
There are many places throughout the country where you are able to see clear skies at night, because the light pollution is low.
You need to go.
5. You can feel like you are in mars
Chile has amazing landscapes like we were just talking about glacier above but there’s also the complete opposite: desert. The Atacama desert is an amazing place to visit, see incredible things, learn about the planet and relax.
I fell in love with the hidden lagoons, the moon valley, getting up close to the Licancabur volcano and the feeling of the geysers.
6. The people
I can’t possibly write a post about Chile without mentioning the people. I know that because I’m Chilean, this is probably (definitely) biased BUT, trust me. Last time I was there, I had a friend pick me up from the airport, let me stay at her apartment and ordered us food! (thank you Cony and Felipe). An Airbnb host arranged an excursion for us and took care of our luggage while we hiked for days. I had people invite me to their houses to have tea (typical afternoon meal: tea, toast, pastries). I just love Chile, and you should visit.
If Chile is not in your bucket list, you need to add it ASAP. It’s so unique and there’s just so much to see!!

Ask a kindergartener to show you her muscles, and she’ll flex her biceps. Hand a dumbbell to a 10-year-old boy, and the first thing he’ll do is a curl. Look around your gym on a typical day, and chances are at least half the people—male and female, young and old, lardy and lean—will be doing curls and extensions at any given moment.
You’d think, with all the time and attention we devote to our biceps and triceps, we’d know the best way to make them bigger and stronger than they are now. But three recent studies suggest we may know less than we think about building our favorite muscles.
Study #1: Split the difference
Let’s start with a notion accepted by just about anyone who’s read a bodybuilding magazine: If you want bigger arms, you have to devote entire workouts to training them.
According to this philosophy, total-body workouts, in which you work all your major muscles, are fine for beginners. But as you get more experienced and ambitious, you have to switch to split routines.
(For a great total-body workout that will help you blast belly fat at home, try THE 21-DAY METASHRED—one guy lost 25 pounds of fat in 6 weeks!)
So you might have separate workouts for your back and biceps and chest and triceps, with other workouts that hit shoulders, abs, and lower-body muscles. In the most advanced programs, you might hit each muscle group just once a week.
A study in the July issue of The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research put that idea to the test. The researchers recruited 20 experienced lifters and had them train three times a week for eight weeks. Half did split routines (chest and back; lower body; shoulders and arms), while the other half did total-body workouts. The programs were matched for total sets and reps, and the exercises were the same.
It’s worth emphasizing that these guys were young (23, on average) and strong. “There was a fairly wide spectrum of physiques, but the majority of them were pretty jacked,” says Brad Schoenfeld, CSCS, author of The Max Muscle Plan and the study’s lead investigator.
All of them gained muscle. All of them got stronger. The surprise is that those doing the total-body routines got better results across the board. This was especially true for biceps thickness: It increased 8 percent for the total-body group, who did just two sets of curls each workout, vs. 5 percent for the guys doing split routines, who did all six sets on the same day.
Study #2: Heavy mettle
All the volunteers in Schoenfeld’s study did sets of 8 to 12 reps, with 90 seconds’ rest in between. A study published this month in Physiological Reports went a different direction: One group of experienced lifters did four sets of 10 to 12 reps, resting 60 seconds in between, while the other did four sets of 3 to 5, using much heavier weights and resting 3 minutes. All of them did the same exercises in the same order.
It’s hard to imagine doing lateral raises, barbell lunges, and triceps extensions for low reps with heavy weights. Doing barbell and dumbbell curls for low reps seems a little more natural—the barbell curl was a contested lift in the early days of powerlifting—but it’s still not something you see very often.
The surprising result: Those doing the heavy curls and extensions increased their upper-arm mass by 5.2 percent in eight weeks, compared to 2.2 percent for those using the more traditional rep range.
Study #3: Subtraction by addition?
For the final study, which appeared in Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, a Brazilian research team had experienced lifters work their upper bodies four times a week for eight weeks. One group did a mix of presses, rows, pushups, and pulldowns, while the others did those exercises plus two more: triceps extensions twice a week, and curls the other two days.
All of them did three sets of every exercise in every workout, but varied the intensity. The first two weeks they did 10 reps per set. Then in the third week they did “shock” workouts, adding forced reps. They cut the weights by 50 percent the following week, and then repeated that cycle for the final four weeks.

Again, there was a surprising result: Both groups gained upper-arm size (about 1.5 percent when flexed) and strength (5 to 6 percent for curls, 10 percent for extensions), but neither group did significantly better than the other. In other words, there was no measurable benefit from adding arm exercises to challenging upper-body routines.
What We Learned
1. A good workout should increase protein synthesis for about 48 hours in the targeted muscles. So if you work out three times a week, it makes sense to use total-body routines, rather than splitting things up and working each muscle group once. Even a bigger stimulus on that single day can’t make up for the additional benefits of hitting the muscles more often.
2. With presses, squats, and deadlifts, most guys understand the importance of using heavy weights for low reps, at least some of the time, to get the best gains in the biggest muscles. But it also applies to smaller ones. If you’re going to do curls and extensions, try going heavier for a few weeks every now and then.
3. Keep in mind that you don’t have to do curls and extensions, especially if you’re already doing a lot of upper-body work. Presses, rows, and chinups and pullups can annihilate muscles from your hands to your core. Annihilating certain ones even more won’t produce additional benefits.

4. Rest periods probably matter more than you think. All the lifters in the first studied rested 90 seconds between sets, and all got impressive results. In the second study, those who used the longest rest periods (as well as the heaviest weights) got the biggest gains in arm size. And in the third study, rest periods were restricted to 60 seconds per set, even when they used forced reps. Those gains were comparatively less impressive.
The biggest lesson, however, is one you won’t find in the data: Novelty matters.
All the subjects, in all three studies, did workouts that were different from their customary routines. In Schoenfeld’s study, the volunteers were used to doing some kind of split routine. That helps explains why the group that didn’t do body-part splits got better results.
“Based on interviews with the subjects, I’d say that the total-body routine was more novel,” he says.
But it’s not just novelty. Like you, the volunteers were probably used to winging it in the weight room, changing things up when they’re bored but sticking to the tried and true when they’re not. When those choices were taken away, and they were forced to pay strict attention to rep speed, rest periods, intensity, and progression, they all got bigger and stronger.
In other words, for the best possible results, follow the instructions. | <urn:uuid:c162bda3-0683-44f5-b3f1-26a5cb430969> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.menshealth.com/fitness/a19547509/science-of-big-arms/ | 2021-02-27T16:04:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178358976.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227144626-20210227174626-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.966392 | 1,570 | [

This video and article will advance your thinking about debt, to help you think intelligently about one of the biggest debts many of us get into: purchasing property.
Now that I work for a bank as a researcher, I get to listen to how people think, and see how they act about money, and learn even more about how money works. Recently interviewing some business owners, I was struck by the range of attitudes towards debt.
I used to think that all debt was bad: “avoid credit cards!” and “if you can’t pay cash, you can’t afford it!” were messages I got from my practical working class family members. But, I observed, lots of people got into debt, and on purpose: for their house, car, education…
Once I started learning from folks who showed me how people make money, it began to make sense. Not all debt is “bad” – just the debt you can’t pay. (And even much of that you can file bankruptcy out of, except student loans sadly.)
So, when you take on debt just make sure you have a plan and a backup plan to un-debt baked in.
That’s strategy — and that’s what we’re going to dig into today. Watch the video, or read on below to learn more.
Debt can be a burden when we get, or are forced, into it without a clear way to undebt ourselves, like when you spend more than you make or suddenly have to live off credit cards due to a worklessness crisis.
But, debt is also a way to use someone else’s (usually a banks’) money to achieve your goals.
Sure, you pay them, but you also get value. The trick is to get more value than you pay the bank, and then you’re essentially Winning Capitalism, the Game.
You’re literally leveraging capital: using money, to make money. And, before you throw Marx at me — remember that whenever you use your money, you’re leveraging your capital — we just don’t usually think about it like that with our little tiny personal finances. “I buy a pre-made bread so I don’t have to stop what I’m doing to make a break. You, the baker, get money, but I get my time value — worth it!”
Yes: usually, “capital” means “a chunk of money” but ultimately, it’s about understanding you’re exchanging value for value. So, how do you value debt? Purpose, or math, friends.
- PURPOSE: It this debt allowing me to keep cash on hand for a purpose? For example: I could pay cash for this car, but I’d rather have more in savings, in case I need it to fix the car.
- MATH: It this debt allowing me to use that cash on hand to invest, instead, and will make more money in that investment than I would to pay off this debt? For example: it’s cheaper to borrow money for this car than it would cost me in the long run to not put this money into my 401k, so I’m going to keep investing even though I could choose to throw more money to pay off my debt.
These are usually presented as rich business people concepts: spend your money with a goal and plan. But honestly? I think they don’t get to have all the strategy out there.
You, too, can combine some business-y concepts into your overall understanding of money. Why? Again:
It lets you assess the cost and benefit very strategically, in order to make informed decisions about paying off debt vs keeping it and using your money otherwise:
- Am I liquid enough? Eg do I still have cash on hand for other needs
- Am I leveraging? Am I using someone elses’ money and keeping what I have available?
- Am I doing the math and checking on the 5%* rule? Am I paying down debt that costs me more than 5% and trying to earn more, leaving “cheap debt” as is to stay liquid, and trying to earn more than 5% with the money I am keeping in the game?
At the most common level, this practically looks like deciding to contribute to a retirement investment plan even when you’re still paying down student loans or credit cards. You just get SO much more value out of the money you put into the plan over the long term, than you are paying to service your debt in the short/medium term it’s worth it. Especially if you’re getting an employer match.
Why analyze debt?
I learned about this stuff once I started really wanting to understand buying investment property, because the heart of the financial decisions are all about leverage and cost of capital (the 5% rule). Am I using someone elses’ money more cheaply than I if was using my other money, to make money?
But, when I was deciding whether to put money into a work retirement plan vs pay off my 2.75% student loans [I am Gen X], it helped me decide.
We’re going to dive into property purchases in the next few posts (and newsletters), so stay tuned for more!
*Some people use a 6% rule — as long as you have assessed a reliable amount you might earn from an investment, and use it as a rule of thumb to decide to pay off a debt vs invest, either one works. | <urn:uuid:172540d2-95f2-402f-8569-e6d0708d7d76> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.ridefreefearlessmoney.com/blog/2020/08/all-about-leverage-good-debt-and-strategy/ | 2021-02-27T14:52:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178358976.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20210227144626-20210227174626-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.96257 | 1,173 | [

At the completion of Dundon-Berchtold Hall landscaping is one of the final phases, squaring off the green-space-quad joining Dundon-Berchtold, Romanaggi, Swindells, and Waldschmidt Halls. While scraping away gravel and going some inches below the top layer of grass and soil when dressing what has been the construction-workers’ staging site, the excavators excavated an unexpected find. An archaeological puzzle. The machines uncovered a tracery of foundation-walls, disclosing the remains of a structure outlined in the field north of Waldschmidt Hall.
A slight embarrassment and inconvenience when the University had not warned the workers against the presence of buried concrete. But gosh, a great question, because no one was aware that there had ever been a structure there.
A detective story! To the Archives! The excavators had uncovered a piece of UP sports culture; the cement and stone remains of a locker room out-building, fitted out to complement our show-piece all-weather out-door roof-covered-state-of-the-art Track & Field facility (1903). The changing room and shower was heated, too!
And the Solution? Starting with only the location, we turn for clues to the database list: Buildings, Past, Present & Demolished. Searching there for any conjectural entries; for example, The Bath House, a generic name with no given location and obelized (uncertain) dates, but the listing nestled among the early buildings. Provisionally pairing an unknown ruin with an unspecified building name, and a hint for possible further investigation.
Next, seek witnesses. There were four pioneer Holy Cross Religious, including the first Holy Cross president, Father Michael A. Quinlan, C.S.C. (1902-1906), who arrived here in 1902. Among them, Brother Wilfred Schreiber, C.S.C.- our most valuable witness– who served here the longest (1902-1933) and whose care was maintenance, fire-stoker, gardener, campus security officer and fixer, and a ministry cheering students. [Pioneer Four]
Bro. Wilfred recorded this ‘clue’ via a 1944 oral history project: “The old bath house was built by Fr. Quinlan at the time the Colosseum was built and it served as a shower room and dressing room for the athletes; also a lavatory for the students. It was built about half-way between the Main Building and the Colosseum.” (When the new gymnasium was finished it became a shop and was not moved from there until about 1937. Then all the shops and out buildings were transferred down below the steam plant. Ed’s note.) **
From Bro. Wilfred’s account we now have a name, function, and approximate date and location. The next step is the search for contemporary documentary evidence. Such as are found in the School Notes printed in the early campus publication, The Columbiad. This blurb from 1906 provides a precise beginning date, and, by giving the dimensions, adds a specific, checkable data-point:
The new bath house has been nearly completed. When finished it will afford the students splendid accommodations for dressing rooms, lockers and shower baths, which occupy a floor space 14 x 58 feet. The whole structure is much larger, containing in addition to what has been mentioned above two apartments for toilets and a room for the hot water plant. If the weather permits, the work should be completed by the first of March. By that time the old bath room will be converted into a carpenter shop. The Columbiad, Feb. 1906, p. 77.
The work was completed on-schedule in March, and heat was added to the out-building in 1909. The circumstantial case for identification complete. Probably.
The last question is the date of demolition. The only notice about the removal of buildings and the realignment of sidewalks and paths in the area behind West (Waldschmidt) Hall is found the The Beacon of September 19, 1936, prior to the opening of a new academic building. The student newspaper gives a progress report on campus changes, telling how during the summer two structures and several trees were removed in order to create a green-space of lawn between West, Howard, and the new Science (Romanaggi) Halls.
QED. The Bath House, March 1906-Summer 1936. Name, function, location, and dates. Probably. The ruin certainly of the building shown here, which is incidentally included (bottom-left) in this image of West (Waldschmidt) and Christie Halls (reproduced in The Columbiad, June 1926).

For many athletes, their sport becomes a huge part of who they are and what they build their lives around. The sport creates benefits such as stress relief, a social circle and a good reason to exercise. All of these things play a role in shaping an athlete’s personality, values and friendships.
The scary thing for a lot of athletes is that this could all be snatched right out of their life in a matter of seconds. It happens more often than any of us would like and it’s because of agonizing little villains we like to refer to as injuries.
One minute you’re dribbling down the field, loving every minute of the ball at your feet and the wind whipping past your face. You deek out your opponent but it all happens too quickly and suddenly you’re on the ground. You’re writhing in pain because your opponent accidentally took out the wrong part of your leg. Just like that, your ACL is torn, you need surgery and you won’t see the field again for almost a year.
It happens that fast.
Injuries are a lot more than just injuries. They come with a side of boredom and wondering what to do with yourself during all your new spare time. Because of this loss of identity, it’s common for injuries to unmask serious mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders and substance abuse.
“When you are in that rehab place and you can’t get on that pitch it seems like it’s forever,” leading sports psychologist Misia Gervis told The Guardian. “There is a wealth of evidence around the psychological challenges of long-term injury. If you are an elite athlete where it is your only identity, and suddenly that has been taken away from you, you are sitting there thinking: ‘Who am I now?’ It is a big sense of loss.”
Ian Linton, a wrestler and student at Laurier Brantford, suffered a shoulder dislocation that lasted six months.
“I really liked the sport and not being able to do it really hurt. The second time I injured it I was going through a lot of problems mentally and wrestling was my escape from that and injuring it again and having to make that choice was really difficult. [It] made things worse because I really wanted to be out there,” said the first year.
Shaina Ecclestone, a second year Youth and Children’s Studies major, suffered three concussions in one year.
“It was devastating to me to know I would never be able to play that high of a level of hockey again,” she said. “It was my future plans, I wanted to attend Laurier since I was little and to play as a goalie on the Laurier varsity team. It’s hard for me to think that I lost it all in a split second just by getting hit in the head. Everything in my life changed for me, more than just my sports, all because of something that took a second to happen.”
Certain kinds of injuries are common among certain sports, however, concussions are one of the most prevalent ones among any type of sport.
“It [rugby] was great then I got seriously concussed,” said Reilly, another Laurier Brantford student. “For rugby it was terrible to leave. So I became a coach of my high school team instead of a player which was still really hard because I couldn’t do anything — just walk. I couldn’t play the sport I loved so I started to gain weight — a lot. And my self-confidence was terrible it made me extremely depressed.”
Even long after the worst part of the concussion is over, the injury is still tough to deal with. Concussions can result in lifelong effects and also alter playing ability due to the high risk of getting re-concussed.
“The healing process for concussions is extremely long especially because I had another one before this one which was pretty serious as well,” said Reilly. “So I was more limited because the doctors wanted to be extra cautious. It took a while until I could play again and it took even longer for me to become healthy and fit again.”
Not only do concussions and injuries affect an athlete’s involvement in sport — they also impact academics, social life and overall quality of day-to-day living.
“It limited me with school like crazy,” said Reilly. “I was out of school for three months, which affected my grades a lot and my social life because I could never leave my room and then after that stage of the healing process was over I still couldn’t leave my house.”
Ecclestone experienced weak reactiveness in her left eye and enhanced effects of her ADHD. School became more of a challenge than it had ever been before.
“I went from a 90s student to failing very quickly and had to build back up to where I am today,” she said. “Lots of extra time on school work and I even had to switch schools. Because of the extent of the brain injury I also had a big shift in my personality. My mom notices it the most. That is one thing that will never change back to the way it was, but I am learning to cope with all the changes.”
It’s not just concussions and injuries that force an athlete to give up their sport. Illness, disease and health conditions can also be detrimental to an athlete’s career in the same way injuries are. Laurier Brantford student Alexa Stucke had to give up competitive basketball before she was ready due to symptoms of low blood sugar. While playing, she often felt faint and found it extremely difficult to move. This went on for two years before she had to give up the competitive level completely.
“That loss of not being able to achieve my goals took a huge toll on who I was, my identity,” said the second year who had been aiming for a D1 scholarship before coming to university. “It [basketball] literally was my life and it got swept from under my feet. You don’t know that your last game is your last game.”
The ultimate question is: What can be done about athletes’ losses of identity, goals, self-esteem and confidence that were born out of their injuries?
“I try to realize that maybe I have another purpose; maybe my end goal wasn’t supposed to be playing basketball,” said Stucke.
Finding another hobby or interest to hook your identity to might be a start, but Stucke says it’s not as easy as it may seem.
“Even now I try to find different hobbies but nothing compares,“ she said. “I would give anything to have basketball back in the capacity that I had it.”
What might be needed is more awareness, accessibility and availability of rehabilitation centres and mental health counselling for injured athletes.
“I think it would be a great thing if these facilities were made more known,” said Ecclestone. “I had no clue about any of that stuff until I got hurt. Cobblestone Rehab facility in Paris, Ont. is the reason I am as far as I am today. Facilities like these are so important for the rehabilitation of people who have suffered from brain injuries whether it is short-term or long-term like mine. I have talked at hockey meetings for teams I have coached to try my best to spread awareness but I hope that these programs become more acknowledged for all sports in all places.”
For a lot of athletes, sports are supposed to be a safe haven, an escape from reality. It’s damaging to a person’s mental health when that main source of hope and joy gets taken away. With mental health awareness growing into such a popular aspect among society, now is the time to start thinking about how we can make athletes’ journeys to recovery less painful for not only their physical injuries, but for their emotional wellbeing as well. Injuries are way more than just injuries. | <urn:uuid:22f2b8fb-664b-4c5c-a232-49ad2bcd5b90> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.thesputnik.ca/injuries-cause-more-than-just-physical-pain/ | 2021-03-01T07:12:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178362133.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20210301060310-20210301090310-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.98527 | 1,718 | [

Archived Revised Introduction from Deborah Meghnagi
Welcome to the authorized website on the worlds and works of Guy Gavriel Kay – to date, twelve books (The Fionavar Tapestry trilogy, Tigana, A Song for Arbonne, The Lions of Al-Rassan, The Sarantine Mosaicduology, Beyond this Dark House, The Last Light of the Sun, Ysabel and Under Heaven) that have been translated into more than twenty languages and achieved bestseller status worldwide. This is not a site by Guy Gavriel Kay, but one that does have his full and considerable support. See the Introduction for a little more about the genesis of the site and the section GGK’s words for an introductory note from Guy Gavriel Kay.
I’ve tried to make the site navigation as intuitive as possible. This redesign of Bright Weavings has maintained most of the navigation of the old site – you’ll find the same list down the left hand bar, which takes you to the different sections of the site, although there are a couple of new sections. When a section of the site is divided further, which it usually is, you’ll find the navigation on the right hand navigation bar at the top of the page. To see where you are on the site, look for the white text – the left hand list will have the main section you’re in in white, with an arrow pointing in to the page, and the right hand list will have a square white button rather than a lilac button on the subsection that you’re in. To get back to the home page of a section, click on the left hand link again. You can always check the new site map at the bottom of the left hand navigation bar to look at a ‘picture’ of the whole site layout. Throughout the site I will refer to Guy Gavriel Kay as GGK, which I think is a good compromise between formal and informal extremes. Look out for a little graphic of Arthur (courtesy of Martin Springett) – it means that GGK himself has something to say. If there’s text next to it in this colour that’s GGK talking. If not, click on the graphic itself to read his note.
Most of the section titles make their content fairly obvious, but I’ll mention a couple here that might not be so clear. First of all, I intend to use the ‘books’ section as a doorway to the rest of the site. If you are interested in a particular book, go to its page, and you will find links directly to all the material on the rest of the site directly relating to that book. You will also find material that doesn’t fit into any of the larger categories. If you just want to read reviews, or find out the latest news from GGK world, or view some art, then you can go to those sections directly, without going through the books section. ‘Warp & Weft’ is the name of the Bright Weavings newsletter; going to that section will allow you to subscribe to the newsletter, and to read archived copies of old newsletters. The section ‘GGK’s words’ contains a biography of GGK, essays by GGK on various subjects, and a selection of interviews of GGK done over the last few years. ‘Bibliographies’ is a fascinating listing and explanation, by GGK, of the key historical texts he used in researching his historical fantasies. ‘What’s New’ – a subsection of this section, is different to ‘News’ which has its own section. What’s New talks about what’s new on the site, and is a good way to look backwards and see what new additions have appeared since you last visited. News will include all announcements of interest about GGK and his books. | <urn:uuid:bc3a40b6-f548-4ae7-9ee4-b0a1fc732c8f> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | http://brightweavings.com/archived-introduction-from-deborah-meghnagi/ | 2021-03-02T19:32:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178364764.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302190916-20210302220916-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.937407 | 815 | [

Following with betas, Apple launched the third beta for developers of watchOS 3.1.1. Like the third beta that Apple released with iOS 10.2, this new version focuses on improving the performance of the latest features that Apple will include in the final version of this new operating system update for Apple Watch. As we inform you in the launch of the first beta of this update, Apple adds support for the new emojis released by the Unicode consortium in its ninth version, as well as the ability to allow the color of the skin in some characters that until the Were not available.
Unlike iOS 10.2, watchOS 3.1.1 is a minor update that focuses on improving the performance and performance of Apple Watch. WatchOS 3.0 was launched in September and whose main feature is the fluidity and speed with which applications are now open, a much improved speed compared to version 2.0 of watchOS. The first major update of watchOS, 3.1 was launched last October and whose main novelty we find in the incredible improvement of the battery, improves that practically allows to enjoy the Apple Watch practically for two days.
WatchOS 3.1.1 is compatible with all Apple Watch models, both the first generation and the new models that came to market last October, Series 1 and Series 2, model that brings us as the main novelty the inclusion A GPS chip and water resistance, which allows us to use the Apple Watch to swim and monitor the exercise we do while we swim. The watchOS 3.1.1 update is expected to hit the market in the month of December in its final version and probably will come hand in hand with iOS 10.2, iOS version which is currently also in beta. | <urn:uuid:e2d4a242-8ba7-48c3-9193-231cd02922a5> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.ihelplounge.com/apple-launches-the-third-beta-of-watchos-3-1-1-for-developers/ | 2021-03-02T19:20:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178364764.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20210302190916-20210302220916-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.957708 | 353 | [

Canadian forces don’t train their African counterparts out of a commitment to professionalism or democracy but to extend this country’s influence.
Recently the Ottawa Citizen reported that Canadian special forces will continue to participate in “U.S.-led training exercises despite links to instructing troops who have been involved in two separate military uprisings in Mali. Malian soldiers forced the resignation of the country’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita after they launched a coup on Aug. 18. Coup leader Col. Assimi Goita, as well as many of the soldiers who took part in the uprising, had received training at the U.S.-led annual Flintlock military exercises which involves western special forces providing counter-terrorism training to African units. A former army officer has now taken over as president in Mali and Goita has declared himself vice president.”
The Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR) has participated in Exercise Flintlock since 2011. Sponsored by the US Africa Command (AFRICOM) and directed by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Flintlock takes place in a different nation of the Sahel region of northern Africa each year. “Although Flintlock is considered an exercise, it is really an extension of ongoing training, engagement, and operations that help prepare our close Africa partners in the fight against extremism and the enemies that threaten peace, stability, and regional security,” said the commander of the US Joint Special Operations Task Force-Trans Sahel, Colonel Kenneth Sipperly, during Flintlock 2014.
In addition to Flintlock, Canadian forces have trained thousands of African military personnel in recent years in a variety of forums and countries across the continent. Hundreds of African soldiers have also come to train in Canada through the Military Training Assistance Program (MTAP).
Canadian officials generally tell the media the aim of training other militaries is to help fight terror or the illicit drug trade but a closer look at military doctrine suggests broader strategic and geopolitical motivations. An important objective is to strengthen foreign militaries’ capacity to operate in tandem with Canadian and/or NATO forces. According to Canada’s MTAP, its “language training improves communication between NATO and other armed forces” and its “professional development and staff training enhances other countries compatibility with the CF.” At a broader level MTAP states its training “serves to achieve influence in areas of strategic interest to Canada. … Canadian diplomatic and military representatives find it considerably easier to gain access and exert influence in countries with a core group of Canadian-trained professional military leaders.”
When Canada initiated post-independence military training missions in Africa a memo to cabinet ministers described the political value of training foreign military officers. It stated: “Military leaders in many developing countries, if they do not actually form the government, frequently wield much more power and influence domestically than is the case in the majority of western democratic nations … [It] would seem in Canada’s general interest on broad foreign policy grounds to keep open the possibility of exercising a constructive influence on the men who often will form the political elite in developing countries, by continuing to provide training places for officers in our military institutions where they receive not only technical military training but are also exposed to Canadian values and attitudes.”
As part of Canada’s post British rule aid efforts, Canadian troops trained armed forces in various African countries in the 1960s. In Ghana, Nigeria, Zambia and Tanzania, Canada endeavoured “to fill in the vacuum left by the withdrawal of British officers and training facilities,” notes Professor Robert Matthews. Military historian Sean Maloney further explains: “These teams consisted of regular army officers who, at the ‘operational level,’ trained military personnel of these new Commonwealth countries to increase their professionalism. The strategic function, particularly of the 83-man team in Tanzania, was to maintain a Western presence to counter Soviet and Chinese bloc political and military influence.”
In 1966 Ghana’s Canadian-trained army overthrew Kwame Nkrumah, a leading pan-Africanist president. After Nkrumah’s removal the Canadian High Commissioner boasted about the effectiveness of Canada’s Junior Staff Officers training program. Writing to the undersecretary of external affairs, C.E. McGaughey noted, “all the chief participants of the coup were graduates of this course.” (Canadian major Bob Edwards, who was a training advisor to the commander of a Ghanaian infantry brigade, discovered preparations for the coup the day before its execution, but said nothing.)
After Ghana won its independence the CF organized and oversaw a Junior Staff Officers course and took up a number of top positions in the Ghanaian Ministry of Defence. In the words of Canada’s military attaché to Ghana, Colonel Desmond Deane-Freeman, the Canadians in these positions imparted “our way of thinking”. Celebrating the influence of “our way of thinking”, High Commissioner McGaughey wrote the undersecretary of external affairs in 1965 that “since independence, it [Ghana’s military] has changed in outlook, perhaps less than any other institution. It is still equipped with Western arms and although essentially non-political, is Western oriented.”
When today’s internal documents are made available, they will likely show that Canadian military training initiatives continue to influence the continent’s politics in ways that run counter to most Africans’ interests. | <urn:uuid:4a90744f-f50e-48be-9d74-0871e39c8cf4> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://yvesengler.com/category/canada-in-africa/ | 2021-03-04T12:25:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178369054.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20210304113205-20210304143205-00001.warc.gz | en | 0.958295 | 1,123 | [

Mylan's generic levothyroxine removed from Florida's negative formulary.
Generic levothyroxine sodium could soon be available again to patients in Florida. A judge has Mylan had filed a petition in August 2007 challenging the decision. The Pittsburgh firm pointed out that its levothyroxine is the only generic considered therapeutically equivalent to four brand versions, including Synthroid, Levoxyl, Levothroid, and Unithroid. Hailing the judge's decision, Mylan said removing its product from the negative formulary means consumers will now have access to a lower cost drug, which will save the state millions of dollars. It added that the state will not appeal the judge's order, but | <urn:uuid:34a5f281-bfc7-4a54-82d3-08bea72886a5> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://www.drugtopics.com/view/florida-judge-opens-access-mylans-generic-levothyroxine | 2021-03-06T01:58:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178374217.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20210306004859-20210306034859-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.944995 | 147 | [

Away in a Manger…a repost.
Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed.
The little Lord Jesus lays down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky look down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
I’ve read many lovely Christmas pieces — how alone Mary and Joseph were during their night-time trip to Bethlehem, her heavy with child and all; how there was no room, and so they were put in the stable; how the cows came and licked the face of Jesus (like any new mom would let that happen….) These pieces are written in beautiful prose and I find myself tearing up a bit.
Cold, alone, dirty stables, animal excrement, mooing, neighing, hay — it’s all there, and for the person who is an artist with their words, it is perfect material.
But the thing is, we’ve got the stable and the manger thing a bit distorted. It’s the limitations of language and translation coupled with our own misconceptions about life in Bethlehem at the time.
I don’t wish to be a cynic or spoiler – those who have written pieces have done a beautiful job in capturing our emotions. But when did we begin to re-write Biblical stories, church traditions through a western pen?
When did the familiar story become so familiar that it became incorrect?
Living in Pakistan and the Middle East helped me to view the scriptures in a different way, to think about the Bible beyond western thought and tradition.
And that is why I appreciate Ken Bailey and his scholarship around Middle Eastern life during the time of Jesus so much. Bailey lived for over 60 years in various countries in the Middle East, including Egypt, Lebanon, Israel, and Cyprus. He is an expert in New Testament scholarship.
He wants to set the record straight on the dirty, cold stable and in his book, Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes, he challenges our western assumptions and guides us to a more complete understanding. He does this so that the stories can, “like a diamond, be restored to their original brilliance.”
So let’s see what a more complete picture looks like:
First off – there was no inn in the sense that the west knows it. There was no commercial space with a fireplace and breakfast in the morning for a price. Instead the word in Greek refers to a guest space, an ‘upper room’ commonly used for hosting guests, relatives of the family. Likely the relatives had others staying with them as the census was being taken “throughout the known world.” Joseph was from a royal line and as such there would have been a space for them to stay. Early Christians when hearing the narrative of the birth of Christ would not have assumed a public inn where there was no space, rather they would assume there was no room in the upper room where guests usually stayed. Instead they were put in more of a ‘family’ room. At one end of this room would be an area a few feet lower where animals were brought inside during the night and led outside first thing in the morning. The family room would also have mangers dug into the ground where animals could feed during the night should they be hungry.
Second – giving birth was a big deal, a community event that took place with female members of the family, one of whom would have been a midwife. There is no way Mary gave birth alone and Joseph cut the cord and delivered the placenta. No.Way. That is 21st century thinking right there. Although probably not with her mom, she would have been with Joseph’s relatives in Bethlehem. There would have been a clean space, water heated, and women to help. Stop for a moment and imagine you were the midwife at the birth. Can you picture the miracle moment, that moment that happens after every successful delivery, when you realized this one was different? When a chill went up your spine and a ‘Glory to God’ was spontaneously shouted from your soul? For it wasn’t an emergency birth, rather it was a common birth of an uncommon child.
Third – He was worshiped by shepherds, the lowest of all in the social strata. And their sign, says Bailey, is indeed the manger. Because they would find him in a manger, they knew he would be in a home of a peasant and the family would not dismiss them as unworthy and unclean, not allowing them to come and offer their worship. The gospel of Luke says that “The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” Bailey goes on to say that the word ‘all’ refers to the “quality of hospitality”.
“If they had found a young mother with her first child in the middle of a filthy stable, scared to death with no older women around to help her, the shepherds would have said, ‘This is outrageous! Come home with us! Our women will take care of you!’” Bailey, Open Hearts in Bethlehem
Ken Bailey summarizes it this way:
“To summarize … the holy family traveled to Bethlehem, where
they were received into a private home. The child was born,
wrapped and … ‘put to bed’ … in the living room in the manger
that was either built into the floor or made of wood and moved
into the family living space. … The guest room was already
occupied by other guests. The host family graciously accepted
Mary and Joseph into the family room of their house. … The
village midwife and other women would have assisted at the birth.
After the child was born and wrapped, Mary put her newborn to
bed in a manger filled with fresh straw and covered him with a
blanket.” Bailey, Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes, 34–35.
He goes on to say that understanding the context and the real story makes the story better, richer, and more filled with meaning.
Because the truth about the birth of Christ is this:
That this Jesus laid aside all that was rightfully his, putting aside his glory to become Incarnate. This is the beauty of Advent, the mystery of the Incarnation.
He, a King, was born in a peasant’s home. He, the Lord of all, was reduced to a newborn baby with an umbilical cord that needed to be cut. He, the Saviour, needed breast milk and human warmth to survive.
And if we could wrap our heads around that, we would have no need to make the way he was born harder than it was.
Note: Rachel Pieh Jones and I both wrote on this topic a couple of years ago. Here is her piece that is more indepth than mine and a great read: Rethinking the Nativity. | <urn:uuid:0c2ce22b-3dcd-4f62-84bc-b4701e9c484e> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://communicatingacrossboundariesblog.com/tag/incarnation/ | 2021-03-09T10:01:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178389798.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20210309092230-20210309122230-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.98511 | 1,457 | [

First of all, can I get a cold drink? Is anyone else experiencing a heat wave?? I can’t handle the triple digits much longer, it feels like winter again because I refuse to go outside and my kids don’t last more than 5 minutes out there because it’s too hot. So we stay inside with the nice cold air conditioner (sometimes I even wear a sweatshirt!) and do things like bake cookies. I’d like to get back to popsicles so I’m hoping it will cool off a bit.
So, normally we spread out the sweets and savories around here, but Kate pulled a fast one on me this week (sneaky, sneaky Kate!) and didn’t post the very savory dish that was on our calendar. So hopefully you’re still in the mood for amazingly delicious citrus flavored goodies, because I have yet another one today!
This is an older Martha Stewart recipe and I sometimes just call them “shower cookies” because I make them a lot for baby and wedding showers. They just seem pretty and dainty and they’re a good make-ahead/prep-ahead one. If you’ve never made a “meltaway” style cookie, they get their name because they sort of just melt in your mouth. There’s no eggs in the cookies, and there’s an addition of cornstarch and powdered sugar instead of granular. All of those lend themselves to a buttery cookie with a tender crumb. They’re easy-peasy. I’ll show ya.
Start out with butter and sugar: two of my favorite things, that only get better when they’re together 🙂 And since we’re using powdered sugar (a must for meltaways) it’s light, smooth, and creamy.
Into the butter mixture goes vanilla and lime zest. If you don’t own a microplane yet, pause before this step, open this link in a new tab, click “add to cart” (and make sure your cart isn’t already full of $168 worth of mega bloks like mine was just now, thank-you-very-much-six-year-old) and then come back here and continue. Perfect example of a recipe that really benefits from a microplane zester.
Add a little flour, salt, and cornstarch and you’ll have a soft dough. Don’t be worried if you taste the dough at this point (you know you did…) and it doesn’t taste sweet enough. These little guys will be rolled in sugar and in the end the balance is perfect.
Roll it up into a log (reach back deep into your playdough-playing days) and wrap that sucker up. This is what I love about cut and slice cookies: you can make them up to this point and then keep them well wrapped in the fridge or freezer well in advance. Makes party-throwing (or cookie-cravings) a breeze.
When you’re ready to make them, slice up the dough and place it on a baking sheet.
They bake for a little over 10 minutes, but the appearance doesn’t change too much. They’re just barely golden around the edges.
When they’re still warm (but not hot) give them a douse of powdered sugar. Martha tosses them in a ziplock bag, but I find that the tender cookies have a tendency to fall apart that way, so I just put them in a bowl an lightly coat them that way.
They’re cute and sweet, and have just the right amount of bright citrus. I should add that what reminded me that I had never shared this recipe is note in a recent issue of Martha Stewart Living where this cookie was recommended as a good one to send to troops overseas. We get tons of emails asking the same thing so I wanted to post this as an option!
Word to the wise: don’t inhale when taking a bite of a powdered-sugar-covered cookie. Obviously, I am not wise.
Recipe from Martha Stewart
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
Finely grated zest of 2 limes
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Put butter and 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy. Add lime zest and juice and vanilla, and mix until fluffy.
Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. Add to butter mixture, and mix on low speed until just combined.
Divide dough in half. Place each half on an 8-by-12-inch sheet of parchment paper. Roll in parchment to form a log 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Refrigerate logs until cold and firm, at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove parchment from logs; cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Space rounds 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake cookies until barely golden, about 13 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. While still warm (but not piping hot), toss cookies with remaining 2/3 cup sugar in a resealable plastic bag. Cookies can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature up to 2 weeks.

Curious about the top Christian travel sites? Europe and the Middle East are full of these, but we have made a simple list of the very best. Read below to find some great travel destinations for Christians!
There is no doubt that the Vatican City is one of the best Christian destinations you could possibly visit.
It is home to St. Peter’s Basilica, the most famous church in the world. It was designed by all the top artists at the time, such as Bernini, Bramante, Maderno and Michelangelo. The tradition also says that Saint Peter, who was an apostle of Jesus, and later became the first bishop of Rome, was buried at this site and that his tomb is below the high altar.
You can expect to wait in line for hours when visiting the basilica. But it’s all worth it in the end. It’s a beautiful church and there is so much to see on the inside.
In the Vatican City we also find the Apostolic Palace – the official residence of the Pope. This building is also home to the Vatican Museums and the Vatican Library, of which you can only explore some parts. Many people visited the Apostolic Palace to see the Sixtine Chapel.
To visit the Vatican City, you must obviously go to Rome. The Vatican is a small enclave within Rome. It is arguably one of the best travel destinations in the world, and you can see countless amazing attractions after you’ve already visited the Vatican.
Santiago de Compostela
The historic city of Santiago de Compostela is a famous destination among Christian pilgrims. In recent times, it has become more of a general tourist destination with all types of people doing the pilgrimage.
Christians will be particularly fascinated with the cathedral. It is reputed as the burial place of Saint James who was one of Jesus’s apostles. The large cathedral is an impressive structure and many people choose to enter it on their knees.
Aside from the cathedral, take a walk around the city and enjoy the old streets. Santiago de Compostela has many small shops, nice restaurants and it is generally a beautiful city. The entire Galicia region of Spain is a gem, so it makes sense to take lots of time to explore it.
Jerusalem is a holy city for all the Abrahamic religions, and of course, Christianity is no exception. It was a place where Jesus did many of his teachings. The Last Supper, which was the final meal with the apostels, took place in Jerusalem. The crucification was also believed to be nearby, on the hill of Golgatha/Calvery.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of the holiest sites in Christianity. An impressive site in itself, but even more so because of the history. Jesus’s empty tomb is believed to be located here. Many pilgrims are going to Jerusalem each year, and upon arrival they can enjoy. a visit to this church, which is conveniently located in the Christian Quarter of the city. In total, the Christian Quarter has about 40 holy places, so it is full of nice attractions for interested visitors!
Bethlehem is the birthplace of Jesus Christ. Naturally, it has attracted visitors for many centuries because of this fact. Many Christians wish to walk around in the city where Jesus was born and where he spent a part of his life.
Church of the Nativity, the basilica in Jerusalem, is a holy place for Christians. The grotto in Jerusalem is known as the oldest site that has continuously been used as a site of worship in Christianity. It is also a World Heritage Site.
Despite being born in Bethlehem, the city of Nazareth was considered the home of Jesus during his childhood. He was also known as “Jesus of Nazareth”. Like Rome, Santiago and Jerusalem, it is a center of Christian pilgrimage. There are many shrines around the city that commemorate Jesus and events from the Bible.
In early Christianity, Damascus was a highly important city. It is said that Saint Paul encountered Christ on his way there – his baptism happened when he actually arrived in Damascus.
Many early Christians lived in Damascus, including St. Thomas and many others. In the old city of Damascus, you should visit the Christian Quarter. Overall, it’s an incredibly fascinating city, and it is one of the oldest in the world. Just be sure to take safety precautions, in light of the recent troubles in Syria.
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is famous for its huge statue of Christ – they call it Cristo Redentor in Portuguese. This monument is so famous that many Christians wish to see it.
Aside from this statue, there are many beautiful churches in Rio. The city has a rich history, and we should not forget that Brazil is one of the most Christian countries in the world. It is absolutely a place worth visiting!
The main attraction here will be the Shroud of Turin. It is also known as the Holy Shroud.
To explain it in simple terms, it is the linen cloth that shows a negative image of a man, often believed to be Jesus Christ. The Gospels tell us that the body of Christ was wrapped by a linen cloth. Many Christians believe this to be the one, although there are several burial cloths around Europe that claim the same. Yet, this one is a highly respected one by many Christians, and it is in the Vatican’s property.
The Shroud of Turin is only available to see during certain expositions, decided by the Vatican. So check up on that before you go. It is located in the Cathedral of Saint John in Turin.
Due to its rich history, Turin also has many other churches worth visiting, and it is easy to have an enjoyable trip there.
Another Italian city with strong links to Christianity is Milan. Since Milan and Turin are located somewhat near each other, you can easily visit both during the same trip.
First and foremost, Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous mural painting, The Last Supper, is found in Milan’s church, Santa Maria delle Grazie. It is an amazing attraction and arguably one of the most famous artworks in world history.
Milan also has one of the largest cathedrals in the world. You will find that in the deep center of the city.
Aside from the Christian attractions in Milan, the city is huge and it is also a world leader in fashion, gastronomy, art, music and sports.
In Moscow, we find one of the most picturesque cathedrals in the world. We are referring to Saint Basil’s Cathedral, located in the Red Square. It was built in the 16th centuries on orders from Ivan the Terrible. The outcome, however, was the opposite of terrible – it is a beautiful Orthodox cathedral, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is one of the most remarkable Christian sites, at least visually, in the entire world.
Don’t forget that Russia is one of the more Christian nations in the world, so you’ll also find many other churches around this giant city. It is absolutely full of cultural attractions.
The Ukrainian capital is home to the Kiev Caves Lavra, which is considered to be the cradle of the Orthodox Church. It’s a huge monastery with a long history, and there is a lot to see. Furthermore, the architecture of the churches in Kyiv is just beautiful and much different than in Western Europe.
Oxford is quite a gem for Christian travelers. You might be familiar with C.S. Lewis and his influential writings. Mere Christianity is arguably one of the best works in modern Christianity. When you visit Oxford, you can take the C.S. Lewis & J.R.R Tolkien Tour and see everything that inspired these two Christians. And when you’re in Oxford, don’t miss out on the University Church or some of the many museums! | <urn:uuid:b4d1731c-cb5b-4405-8879-39a25735caad> | CC-MAIN-2021-10 | https://scopetrip.com/best-christian-travel-destinations/ | 2021-03-09T10:39:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-10/segments/1614178389798.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20210309092230-20210309122230-00321.warc.gz | en | 0.974717 | 1,652 | [

The Impact on Media Coverage, Volume 1
Edited By Klaus Bachmann, Irena Ristić and Gerhard Kemp
Do International Criminal Tribunals trigger social change, provide reconciliation, stabilize fragile post-conflict societies? Many authors claim they do, but they base their assumptions mainly on theoretical considerations and opinion polls. The editors and authors of this book take a different position: based on extensive field research in nine European and African countries, they examine whether tribunal decisions resulted in changes in media frames about the conflicts which gave rise to the creation of these tribunals. International Tribunals hardly ever shape or change the grand narratives about wars and other conflicts, but they often manage to trigger small changes in media frames which, in some cases, even lead to public reflexion about guilt and responsibility and more awareness for (the respective enemy’s) victims. On an empirical basis, this book shows the potential of International Criminal Justice, the possibilities, but also the limits of International Criminal Tribunals. Volume 1 presents the evidence from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, Serbia and Croatia.
The Invisible Hand of the ICTY: Narratives on Dubrovnik in Montenegro
Montenegro was the smallest federal unit of the former Yugoslavia,2 situated south from Serbia, with a short Adriatic coastline east from Croatia. In the course of Yugoslav crisis and dissolution, its political leadership followed the line of the Milošević regime in Belgrade,3 thus it was perceived as a “satellite” of Serbia.4 When the Yugoslav dissolution became fait accompli, Serbia and Montenegro formed the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in April 1992. The common state was restructured into the “State Union of Serbia and Montenegro” in 2003, until Montenegro opted for independence in 2006. Some Montenegrin citizens were conscripted into the various pro-Serb military units fighting in the Yugoslav wars (1991–1995), and others participated voluntarily. When evaluating the role of Montenegro in the Yugoslav wars, one event is specifically related to the question of Montenegro’s responsibility in the Croatian war – the attack on the coastal medieval town of Dubrovnik by the Yugoslav People’s Army [Jugoslovenska narodna armija – JNA] from the territory of Montenegro in the autumn of 1991. The attack was supported by the Montenegrin Territorial Defence forces5 and special police units. In this chapter, I will analyze how the ←57 | 58→Dubrovnik operation has been narrated in the Montenegrin media before and after the only ICTY case that dealt with this event – the trial of General Pavle Strugar, the commander of the JNA forces that conducted the military campaign against the Dubrovnik region.

Renowned Chinese actress Xu Jinglei has invested in nearly 500 pieces of NFT artwork. Alipay updates its user agreement to prevent NFT speculation. Shanghai is using blockchain technology in governance, and Chengdu’s government wants to cultivate leading companies in blockchain technology. Honor releases a smartphone supporting a hard wallet for digital yuan.
The world of blockchain moves fast, and nowhere does it move faster than China. Here’s what you need to know about China’s block-world in the week of Aug. 11 to Aug. 17.
NFT in China
Famed Chinese actress and director Xu Jinglei updated her Instagram profile picture with a non-fungible token (NFT) artwork created by an NFT design team called Animetas. Xu bought the NFT for 0.88 Ethereum ($2,892) on Aug. 6. Her account on Opensea, an NFT marketplace, shows she has collected 497 pieces of NFT art. Many of her collections are from Animetas, a team creating digital avatars artworks on the Ethereum blockchain. (8BTCnews)
Alipay NFT policy changes
Chinese mobile payment app Alipay updated its user service agreement, asking users to keep their NFTs for at least 180 days before sending them to others, signaling the platform’s attempt to curb NFT speculation. Alipay also requires NFT senders and receivers to be at least 14 years old, and to pass real-name verification checks. The mobile payment app issued two styles of NFT artwork in late June. Buyers can set the artwork as a background on the payment app. (AI Caijing, in Chinese)
Regional government and blockchain
- Chinese state media People’s Daily published an article praising Shanghai’s Pudong district as a model for digital governance. The piece, published Sunday, said Pudong district employed technology such as 5G, blockchain, big data, cloud computing, and the internet of things, to build applications for the government to get a holographic panorama of the district’s 1,200 square kilometers. (People’s Daily, in Chinese)
- The government of the southwestern city of Chengdu announced on Monday plans to cultivate leading companies in several cutting-edge tech sectors. The Chengdu New Economic Development Commission, a government agency, listed at least 24 new technological areas to explore. The list includes 6G, privacy-preserving computing, blockchain, quantum computing, and satellite Internet. (China Star Market, Chinese)
Hard wallet for digital yuan
Chinese smartphone maker Honor launched a flagship smartphone called The Magic 3 that supports a digital yuan hardware wallet. The Magic 3 is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 888 chip to support the wallet, according to CEO George Zhao at the release event. Compared with digital wallets installed on software like apps, hardware wallets have higher security for storing digital assets, according to a white paper released by China’s central bank. Honor was Huawei’s budget subbrand until November 2020.

I have used mkl_dcsrmultcsr in my research. However, it is performing double pass to compute sparse*sparse matrix product. For small size problems, this is not a problem, however for large size problems (e.g. matrices of size ½ billion by ½ billion) this is time consuming and it would be better if MKL can do this multiplication in a single pass in a parallel setup.
Most (if not all) of the sparse*sparse CSR matrix multiplications algorithm use Gustavson Algorithm (ACM 1978) and there is no reason why this algorithm cannot be parallelized and do calculations in a single pass. I understand that the performance of a single pass parallelization would depend on pre-allocating the space non-zero values, which I think can be reasonably given in most situations and even if this does not work the algorithm should be able to adjust the buffer size (if required).
Similarly, it would be useful to only compute lower/upper triangular portion of the output matrix (of course the output matrix have to be symmetric).
Application domain: Statistics, PDE’s, Inverse Problems, Weather Prediction.
After spending considerable amount of time last week I was able to come up with my own single pass parallel solution which is ~ 30 to 35% faster than mkl_dcsrmultcsr. It can also work in a hybrid setup (MPI+Openmp) and gives the output matrix in a sorted form. Any help (if possible ; no compulsions) in optimizing the attached code would be greatly appreciated as for large matrices it can save days worth of work.
30-35% of speedup - thanks for sharing this. Are these any specific input matrixes? what is the typical size, nnz and type of this matrices? what is the CPU you are running this code?
I have tested the code with matrices 1070*1000000 (nzmax = 85534075) multiplied by a matrix 1000000*1070 (nzmax = 85534075) on (I do not know generation info for them):
- 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM
- 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM
- 2.80 Ghz Intel (RR) Xeon, 96 GB RAM
- 2.4 Ghz Intel i7, 8GB RAM.
You can test the code for your own matrices. I have to refactor the code .
thanks Vineet. Your suggestions looks reasonable to implement. I will bring this request to the MKL release board for consideration and may be for the implementation into one of the future versions. | <urn:uuid:8ff54e5a-6cbc-4ccb-9443-aec1b3d0de42> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-oneAPI-Math-Kernel-Library/Sparse-Sparse-Matrix-Multiplication/td-p/1017818 | 2022-09-26T01:21:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334620.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20220925225000-20220926015000-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.903452 | 591 | [

How do you end up with a very discerning 13-year-old client? “I was working on a renovation at Salon 94 downtown,” says Adam Charlap Hyman of the design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero. (Salon 94 is among the most in-the-know galleries in New York, run by Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn.) “And I was going to the house for meetings with Jeanne.” There he met Greenberg Rohatyn’s older daughter, Coco. “At some point, they were expanding Coco’s bedroom to include some of the room next to it. It was going to be this cut-and-dried architectural change, but I had brought a bunch of reference images and materials in my bag and said, ‘Well, we could make a whole little project out of it.’ ” Both Coco and her mom loved his ideas, and a relationship grew.
The choices were primarily Coco’s, with parent and designer providing guidance and options. “She had a great sense of color,” recalls Charlap Hyman. “We had a smart moment in which she understood certain colors were inversed into others, and suggested we do something with the fabric based on the inverse of other colors. And Coco would text me things she liked — I remember getting a text message of a flower that she said was a nice color.” Coco was into ice-skating at the time, and the flooring is the same rubbery material that’s used around rinks to protect skaters’ blades. And, adds her mother, “she did not mind that the green-and-white floor did not quite go with her purple-and-pink everything else. But it’s all good!” She claims there were no parental vetoes.
Being a dealer and collector, Greenberg Rohatyn did stock the room with art. The stool in her daughter’s bedroom is a functional sculpture by Kueng Caputo. (And it really is used as a seat.) The dollhouse on the floor is a Laurie Simmons piece, and the mouth- and eye-shaped rugs are by the artist Katie Stout. The one surprise for Coco, Greenberg Rohaytn says, was the big painting by Mickalene Thomas, all bright colors and age-appropriate glitter. “I had it hung on the day that she moved in.”
Yet for all the unconventional surfaces and artworks, the suite they created is traditional underneath. “It’s a pretty normal bedroom at the end of the day,” Charlap Hyman says. “It’s not some crazy living setup.” Coco has a makeup table with mirror, one a girl her age would have found familiar 50 years ago. “I’ve never had one in my life,” says her mother with a laugh. “It wouldn’t occur to me. But she wanted one, and she uses it every day. Now my other daughter wants one, too.”

Medical Paternalism on the Brink
Doctors have always enjoyed an undeniable prestige, an almost mystical clairvoyance and Solomonic judgment in the eyes of their patients. Doctors know the truth. Doctors know best. Doctors decide.
And yet a movement has been bubbling along for a generation or so, questioning their omniscience. Too many times, doctors have been proven wrong in their diagnoses; (after all, why ask for a 2nd opinion if they are all always right); assumptions have been contradicted by medical developments; or physicians have been shown to be all too human in falling for marketing hyperbole of the pharmas. (Anyone who hasn't seen Dopesick on the Oxycontin scandal and the Sackler family needs to stream it ASAP).
With regard to End of Life concerns, doctors are taught in Med School that death is the enemy, and that their goal is to keep the patient alive at all costs at all times. Choosing death even over a badly compromised quality of life is always the wrong decision, they are taught. Admittedly, there has been a sea change in this bias among the new generation of freshly minted physicians, and the advent of hospice itself is proof that there comes a time to accept the inevitable demise, and make the end as comfortable as possible, instead of jousting endlessly at distant windmills.
There are however still vestiges of a certain medical paternalism, behind which the AMA and the medical consensus continue to swagger. Two of those beliefs have recently and in quick succession come to grief when challenged in courts of law.
The first is the question whether a doctor or medical institution runs any legal risk if it ignores a patient's living will, advance directive for a DNR order, or the appointment of a healthcare proxy. What if the patient or his proxy makes clear they don't want extraordinary measures applied to keep them alive when the quality of that life will be too compromised.?
Historically, the courts have said no one can be punished for creating or preserving life. Life has been judged so uniquely enriching that it would be impossible to assess damages against one who acted to prevent death. So at times, it seems the medical profession could cavalierly ignore a patient's request to end life under certain debilitating circumstances.
A recent case in New York though has turned that assumption on its head. Greenberg v Montefiore a New York case asked whether an individual can recover damages when a doctor in direct contravention of an individual’s living will or health care proxy's instructions provides unwanted medical treatment.
Dr. Gerald Greenberg completed a living will and named his wife as his health care proxy with authority to make all medical decisions on his behalf. In his Advanced Directive, Dr. Greenberg made clear that in the event of irreversible brain damage, he did not want to be provided medical treatment beyond comfort care. He named his wife as his designated health care proxy.
Dr. Greenberg was subsequently diagnosed with advanced dementia incapable of making his own medical decisions, at which point his wife as his proxy had the legal authority to make binding medical decisions. In November 2016, Dr Greenberg developed sepsis and was transported to Montefiore Hospital. The hospital was provided with copies of his living will and health care proxy form appointing his wife. Ms. Greenberg instructed the hospital to only provide comfort care and no other treatment.
In complete and inexplicable contradiction to the express instructions of Dr Greenberg's healthcare proxy, the hospital proceeded to treat Dr. Greenberg’s sepsis, administering antibiotics and other curative treatments. As a result, Dr. Greenberg lived an additional 30 days in immense pain and suffering. He would otherwise have passed peacefully within a day or two.
Dr. Greenberg’s family subsequently filed a lawsuit on his behalf against the hospital for the unwanted medical treatment which caused a month of pain and suffering. The trial court dismissed the case, stating that Dr. Greenberg did not suffer any damages by being kept alive against his explicit wishes. The family appealed.
On March 31, 2022, a NY appellate court, in what is a precedent-setting decision, held that damages could be recovered against the hospital for acting in derogation of the patient's clearly expressed end of life wishes, as articulated by his healthcare proxy, leading to a month of unnecessary suffering. This may well be the first instance where a court gives teeth to an advance care document, and establishes that they are legally enforceable with monetary remedies for those who ignore them. The NY Supreme Court found that the Hospital was guilty of medical malpractice.
This is no small potatoes. There are countless instances when medical clinicians or instituons take their patients advanced directive with a grain of salt. After all, their ethos has always been life is always so precious that it is better than death, even if that life is compromised with suffering and indignity, and even when the patient themself welcomes death as a reprieve.
Advanced directives, DNR orders, medical powers of attorney are not just documents to be followed when the doctor is in agreement . The patient always has the final say as to their end of life preferences. At least in New York, doctors and institutions are now on notice that ignoring such documentation is now longer acceptable under the rubrid "Doctor Knows Best"-- rather it constitutes medical malpractice.
Another case has equally broken a lot of china. One of the dirty little End of Life secrets is that not infrequently doctors are the direct instruments of hastening a sought-for death. It is inevitable that when patients in hospital continue to suffer as the end approaches, doctors are at liberty to provide comfort in the form of morphine. They may in fact apply a dosage so strong it not only arrests the pain, but provokes death. In any other context, we would simply call this what it is: euthanasia. A good death; a peaceful death; a death which hastens the inevitable without forcing the patient and their family to prolong their suffering unnecessarily
Contrary to the benevolent intensions involved, euthanasia is deemed murder in every state in America and a doctor could technically be charged and prosecuted. Furthermore, the AMA and the Catholic Church are adamant that euthanasia is anathema, that choosing death over life is prohibited. The way around the conundrum is the handy fig leaf called "Double Effect." The intent is not to kill the patient; the intent is to alleviate suffering, even if, with a wink and a nod, everyone knows the applied dosage will either kill the patient outright or put them into a coma.
Doctors who rail against MAID which would allow a patient to avoid incalculable suffering when the end is nigh are perfectly comfortable taking matters in their own hands to apply a fatal dosage when the patient is in extremis. And people who are outraged that a doctor might write a prescription for a terminally ill, mentally competent patient allowing them to take the medicine at home at the time of their choosing are comfortable ceding that authority to a doctor, who may well be acting on his own cognizance, while in a medical facility like a hospital.
Now, one must keep in mind that the whole quest of advocates for MAID is to allow the patient themselves to be able to hasten their own much sought death when faced with a terminal diagnosis. Two thirds of the states, the AMA and the Catholic Church all vehemently deny a patient the right to control their own end of life. And yet those states, the AMA and the Catholic Church all stand firmly behind the doctor who applies a lethal dose of morphine to a dying patient under the camouflage of double effect-- as useful a circumlocution as possible. The doctor is not willing the patient's death; no, of course not; the doctor merely wants to minimize or stop the patient's suffering. If the patient (predictably) slips into a coma from which he never recovers or simply expires, well, the doctor has the fig leaf that his goal was not death, but to avoided suffering.
This is know as terminal sedation It is a blessing for the dying, their family and friends. The last few hours or even days of excruciating horror are averted by the benevolence of what is essentially euthanasia : a good death. No one seems bothered that it is the doctor who directly administers the proximate cause of death, usually, but not necessarily, with the patient's or their family's consent.
In Ohio, Doctor William Dr William Husel, 46, of Mount Carmel Health Systems in Columbus followed standard medical and ethical procedure in administering fentanyl to patients approaching death to alleviate their suffering. The patients quickly died. The doctor believed he was conforming to the principle of the famed double effect. He was widely admired and respected at his hospital, and had received various awards.
But the local DA decided to charge him on 14 counts of murder. He was indicted in cases that involved at least 500 micrograms of the powerful painkiller fentanyl.
Prosecutors said ordering such dosages for a nonsurgical situation indicated an intent to end lives. Husel's attorneys argued he was providing comfort care for dying patients, not trying to kill them. The prosecution introduced 53 witnesses; the defense just one. The jury acquitted after 6 days on all counts. However, the doctor and several of his assistants lost their jobs and they and Mt Carmel Health are being pursued in civil court by aggrieved relatives.
And yet what Dr Husel was impugned for happens all the time in medical facilities, and is understood to be the blessing of which no one shall speak. A person is not just terminal, but is in the process of expiring. There may be days, maybe just hours, of unbearable suffering before the inevitable. Let the doctor administer a sufficient dosage of morphine to alleviate the pain-- and perhaps the dosage will hasten the death.
There are surely thousands of doctors who have done exactly what Dr Husel was prosecuted for. And all it takes is one creative or motivated District Attorney to rain disgrace on that doctor by charging them with murder. In any other country, the practice is simply called euthanasia. In America, it can now lead to a life sentence.
What do these two cases have in common? In both instances, the standard operating procedure of medical professionals has been brought into question, with potentially career-ending consequences. In Greenberg v Montefiore, the court ruled that a patient's Advanced Directive must be respected, even if it calls for preferring a quick death to a lingering end of suffering. In Dr Husel's case, the practice of allowing doctors to hide behind the fig leaf of double effect was not enough to prevent a prosecution for murder. One must now wonder if doctors will be reluctant to alleviate suffering at end of life in hospitals and nursing homes for fear of just such a prosecution.
Doctors are overwhelmingly benevolently minded. They mean to do good. They earnestly believe life is always better than death and they believe they know what is best for the patient. But we are living in an era where patients demand to take control of their medical conditions, and that applies equally to their end of life wishes. This is ultimately what MAID offers: allow patients to make that final decision by giving them the wherewithal to hasten the inevitable and avoid days, weeks, perhaps months of futile, useless suffering. | <urn:uuid:26e3b9d9-fca1-4f67-a4cd-d75fc9fe6e65> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://dyingrightnc.org/news/the-end-of-doctor-knows-best/ | 2022-09-27T08:53:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030334992.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20220927064738-20220927094738-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.967975 | 2,310 | [

Final Saturday we have been questioning what to do when I noticed slightly advert for a mediaeval fair on the Chateau d’Argy. If France desires to seize more tax income from Google and McDonalds, let France change its laws to take action and then apply these prospectively, not retroactively. To move around the streets use your mouse button or just scroll it. In case you are not aware of how to go searching the street degree in Google Earth, simply discover your complete button and scrolling possibility in your mouse-it is actually a fun! I believe google is the could be very straightforward to access and even the primary time your using an web you use it very easily and also you get what you need. The basic search page might be seen in languages apart from German (Deutsch), by adding a special ISO639-2 language code to the Google webhp URL stub: ‘?hl=’. P.S. I gave you the thumbs up (since you are just SO CUTE!) however so far as Google goes – IMO – they simply BLOW.
To all intents and functions Google UK appears just like the Google classic homepage besides that it’s badged as UK with the letters ‘UK’ beneath the ‘l’ of Google and the redirection perform set to ‘Go to ‘. It is vitally simple to make use of and free to non industrial users, I’d suggest it completely. Now, hold virtually shifting on the town with clicks of your mouse-that is how you can view any road in Google Earth. Subsequent to the Google Australia search entry field you’ll be able to access ‘Language instruments’ and ‘Advanced search’. By selecting Subscribed Links, you possibly can adapt your search to show distinct results from the web sources of your selection. The search question” you enter is transferred from one Google search box to another. Just manipulate the Google com au webhp operate to indicate Google OZ in one other language. If you do not have a hyperlink in mind, you’ll be able to search the Subscribed Hyperlinks listing to search out one that pursuits you.
Google is missing one thing right here it bought what it referred to as a no win recreation in browser conflict with Microsoft, too dangerous for Google. Whichever kind you utilize the Firefox Begin page might be shown in the language (English or French) through which you previously accessed Google Canada. Australia Google looks just like the Basic Google homepage besides that the phrase ‘Australia’ is below the ‘le’ of Google and you can ‘Go to ‘. Google CA looks just like the Google basic homepage except that it is badged as Canada with the letters ‘Canada’ under the ‘le’ of Google and the redirection operate set to ‘Go to ‘. If you want to see the search page in a language other than Italian (Italiano), then add an alternative ISO639-2 language code to the Google IT webhp URL stub: ‘?hl=’.
A small hit, just require an additional click or two for every search from France or involving France, explaining Google’s position – things worsen add clicks, things get better remove further clicks, all the enjoyment of a youtube advert, and users will get in the habit of avoiding these links for ones that don’t bother them.
This increased scrutiny comes amid rising European stress on US multinationals to pay extra tax, together with a separate tax raid on McDonald’s French headquarters on Could 18 French media has reported that the quick meals large has been asked to pay €300m worth of unpaid French taxes that have been diverted by way of Luxembourg and Switzerland. | <urn:uuid:4c07ea4d-ad24-444e-b9d1-765563aa68ea> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://rf-summit.com/france-seeks-e1-6bn-from-search-big.html | 2022-10-01T07:59:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335573.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001070422-20221001100422-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.92069 | 780 | [

The Mainstream Monday : Sniffing a Popular Perfume
Lolita Lempicka Si Lolita has been around for a few years but recently it has hit the American market hard. I think in time for Mother’s Day. I’ve seen it in many stores and catalogs. The SA was giving me a hard sell, telling me that the four-leaf clover shaped bottle represents Lolita Lempicka and her 3 daughters. Um, OK, I like symbolism but this was useless information… Continue reading | 11 Comments

Emily Hirsch of Talon NYC designs fragrance and jewelry, a few of my favorite things… Talon is a line of aromatic amulette necklaces. I’ve recently found out about the line and I’m smitten.
Inspired by antique aromatic jewelry and the fragrances of growing up in the picturesque Northern California wine country in Anderson Valley A.K.A. paradise, Emily offers simple, but slightly rustic amulettes and thoughtful fragrances. I’m attracted to rustic, organic jewelry such as that offered by Lucifer Vir Honestus, Gabrielle Sanchez, Fabio Cammarata,
So, my husband and I are moving to Washington next week. It’s going to take 36 hours of hard driving to get there. I don’t know where I am going to live and I don’t have a job yet. It still hasn’t really hit me yet, I just know that I am putting my stuff into boxes and researching the heck out of areas to live in the Seattle area. I’ve got to get into a pioneer mindset and just go for it. I hope I’ll like the place. If anyone has any suggestions of places to move to please… Continue reading | 2 Comments | <urn:uuid:209e7c2b-fb16-4a36-8813-4b0363522b33> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://www.eaumg.net/tag/perfume-bottles/page/2/ | 2022-10-01T08:26:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030335573.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20221001070422-20221001100422-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.932033 | 493 | [

In a Barbie World
|The Pink Palace in Shanghai
I have a Barbie passport please?” I asked the pink-jacketed sales assistant. Smiling, but without a hint of sarcasm,
she asked for my name and date of birth.
“No, it’s not for me; it’s for my five year old daughter.” That straightened out, I was asked to take her over to the Barbie photo studio
for her “glam shot”.
“I’m afraid she’s in Beijing,” I replied.
“No problem, she can have her photo
taken when she comes to Shanghai.”
The lady said
it as if it were an incontrovertible certainty that my daughter will make the pilgrimage to Barbie’s pink palace on
Huaihai Zhong Lu. And the extreme likelihood is that she will be proved right sooner rather than later. The exact
timing will depend on how quickly I show her the photos I took today – not to mention her shiny pink Barbie passport
of course. When she realises what’s here for her in Shanghai, I’m sure that Hong Kong Disney will be relegated
from top-spot on her wish list of places to visit; and that she will start taking a keen interest when she next hears I’m
off to Shanghai on business.
The Barbie store in Shanghai is the world’s first Barbie “experience centre”. The grand
opening was last Friday, timed to coincide with Barbie’s 50th birthday.
This emporium of pink pleasure provides young (and young-at-heart)
girls with six floors of eye-popping displays and activities. Why not take a day to test out the Barbie
anthem’s claim that “In a Barbie world, life is plastic, it’s fantastic”: You
could start by having a Barbie makeover in the beauty centre. Then why not try on a few new outfits and
show them off to an admiring audience as you strut your stuff on the runway. Or what about spending some
time chatting online to your American friends in the computer room (pink of course); before stopping by at the professional-standard
photo-studio to pose while seated on a large pink throne (plastic may be fantastic, but purists will be relieved to know that
this material doesn’t feature in the camera they use here – the Nikon D200 has a die-cast magnesium alloy body).
If you fancy a work-out, or even a yoga
class, there’s a large dance studio with wall to ceiling mirrors. And, when it all gets a little
too much, you could always retreat to the reading room. By which time, you will undoubtedly be ravenous,
so you’ll need to make your way to the top of the shop – the 6th floor – to dine at the Barbie restaurant
that was, according to the Barbie press office, “created at the direction of renowned chef and chocolatier David Laris”,
who put together a menu, “designed for divas of all ages”. Not feeling spoilt enough?
Then, you’ll be needing a facial, or perhaps a body wrap or massage at the Barbie spa (“designed to rejuvenate
and transform Shanghai women into urban princesses”).
By now, you will probably be thinking that you would like to buy a few things. Shanghai’s
House of Barbie has something for everyone, no matter what your budget may be. You could spend just a few yuan on a
Barbie book; or for those of you who could afford to build your own pink palace there’s the 280,000 yuan diamond necklace.
Then again, you could use the same mountain of cash to buy something a little less showy. Let’s see now…
280,000RMB… How about his and hers Honda Civics (price not including Barbie and Ken sun visors).
As for me, I settled on a Barbie early-reading book; and the three princesses and their
sparkly horses from Barbie’s latest blockbuster film.
This is where the Barbie passport came in handy.
The 20 yuan cost of the passport was redeemed and I also received a 5 per cent discount
off the total price. As well as my first
stamp in the passport (a full page of stamps qualifies for a special free gift no less).
I handed over the required number of appropriately-coloured 100 yuan notes (the flagship
note here – in China that is – is indeed Barbie-pink. How’s that for a marketing coup).
I descended the spiral staircase – the walls of which showcase
no fewer than 875 signature hand-made and individually styled Barbies – feeling that I had just had one of the
greatest retail experiences in the history of shopping.
Imagine what a five-year old would think.

Pratt & Whitney Canada’s (P&WC) newest version of the venerable PT6 is the PT6A-140AG and has been selected to power Air Tractor’s new AT502XP aircraft – is just one of the company’s many agricultural segment successes and initiatives supporting the industry.
P&WC received Transport Canada authorization for field testing of PT6A-34AG engines in Brazil this season with S10 and S500 Type B biodiesel comprised of up to 10% bio-content. P&WC has been granted approval for using S500 and S10 Type-A regular diesel fuel.
The PT6A-140AG delivers 15% more power and 5% better specific fuel consumption than other engines in its class. Optimized for extreme “hot and high” environments, the PT6A-140AG enables full-load takeoffs with maximum power available up to 111ºF (44ºC).
The PT6A-140AG engine delivers 867 mechanical shaft horsepower (SHP) and 1,075 thermal SHP. The modular design with externally mounted fuel nozzles make it an easy engine to access and maintain, an important factor for the agricultural segment . The Time Between Overhaul (TBO) can be extended up to 8,000 hours (12 years) depending on operations and is independent of engine cycles. Designed and built to outlast competitors in the class, the PT6A-140AG has a minimum component life limit which is 50% higher than competing engines. | <urn:uuid:d6ad2239-44b6-4a87-b438-985302e17962> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://airinsight.com/the-latest-pt6/ | 2022-10-05T09:27:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337595.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20221005073953-20221005103953-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.909835 | 316 | [

RUN WITH PURPOSE!
All proceeds provide medical and material relief in needy communities worldwide.
Can I change my wave time prior to the day of the race?
Yes. You will be able to transfer to another wave time that is not sold out. You can visit your registration confirmation email for information on how to change details about your registration, wave time, T-shirt size, or team details such as name or teammates, etc.
Can I get a refund if I am unable to attend?
No. We do not issue refunds as spots are reserved. If you would like to transfer your entry to another participant, you may email us at: [email protected] to process this request. No transfer will be allowed the day of the race.
How can I prepare for this race?
Strength and conditioning, specifically for endurance, balance, and coordination will help you with overcoming the obstacles. If you are not a runner you may want to begin light jogging to help you with the miles ahead.
When should I arrive on race day?
Gates open and check-in begins at 7:30 am. Please arrive at least 30 minutes to 1.5 hours prior to your wave time. This will allow you to find a parking spot, get checked in, hydrate, stretch, and be ready at the start line. Race to the finish line, not the start line!
Every runner MUST turn in a signed waiver on race day. To save you time during check-in, you may print your own waiver and fill it out ahead of time. Minors (under 18) will need a parent/guardian to sign their waiver.
If you miss your scheduled wave time you will have to wait until the next available wave.
Is there a cost for parking?
No. There is free parking on site. Carpooling is recommended as parking is limited. Bring your friends and family to cheer you on, spectators are free.
How long will it take to complete the course?
Your pace and athletic level will determine the amount of time it takes you to complete the course. For top athletes, you can expect between 35 to 45 minutes. For the average participant, you can expect that it will take 1 hour or more.
Will there be a place for personal belongings?
There will be a bag check area. The cost is $3.
If I want to change my wave time the day of the event or miss my scheduled wave time what happens?
If for some reason, you are not able to make your registered wave time or miss your scheduled wave, you will have to wait until the next available wave opening. In the case of a sold out event, you will not be able to run.
Will there be water stations?
We have hydration stations set up throughout the course where you can hydrate with water to help prevent muscle cramping. There will also be water and food at the finish line. Don’t overdo it as it can cause muscle cramping.
Can I run barefoot?
Yes, it is your preference. Do we recommend it? No. Almost half of the 5K course is on dirt trails through the woods where you will encounter sticks, tree roots, and pine cones. If you chose to run barefoot you accept any and all additional dangers that you could encounter from doing so.
What if I can’t complete an obstacle or I don’t have the courage?
The Mud Run has challenging obstacles that will push you out of your comfort zone and past your limiting beliefs. If there is an obstacle you are unable to complete, you may choose to skip it. However, if you are registered in any of the competitive timed waves, there is a 25 jumping jack penalty for anyone who fails to complete or chooses to skip an obstacle. There are a few obstacles that require swimming in deep water.
Will there be a place to clean up?
An area will be designated where you can hose off after the Mud Run. We encourage you to bring a towel, full change of clean clothes and plastic bags to put your wet clothes in. There are a limited amount of private facilities that you may change in.
Can I donate my shoes after the race?
Yes. Wear an old pair of shoes to run the race and donate them afterward. Shoes will be washed, dried and sent to help orphans in need in Africa.
Will there be first-aid stations?
We will have emergency personnel on site. For minor injury assessments, we will also have a first-aid tent near the finish line with personnel to help you attend to your needs.
Will I be out in the sun all day?
No. There is plenty of shade at Teen Missions. Almost half of the 5K course is on dirt trails through the woods. There are covered walkways around the property and Big-Top Tents with plenty of seating.
What happens if it rains or there is a storm?
If it rains the race will continue, it just makes for more mud anyway! If there is a severe storm, such as a hurricane or natural disaster, the event will be canceled. If there is lightning present, we will postpone each wave until the lightning passes and is a safe distance from the venue.
Do I get a T-shirt?
Yes. All pre-paid runners will receive a Mud Run T-shirt.
Is there a group discount?
No. The prices stated are per person.

I think understand what you're suggesting, Eugen.
You're suggesting that in 10-20 years from now,
a) we will not have created a human-level AGI yet
b) the gov'ts of the developed world will have instituted a surveillance
system that has its feelers in every computer chip of any reasonable power,
and every network hub, etc. Maybe even in every brain! AGI research will
be allowed only in gov't regulated facilities, and if the surveillance
system sees anyone doing unapproved AGI research, the gov't will step in and
I think this is a *possible* future, I just don't think it's a likely one.
For one thing, unless we have world gov't, what's going to stop "rogue
nations" from developing their own AGI as part of their own defense/offense
efforts? To assume a safe future ensured by regulation, you effectively
have to assume a world gov't, otherwise, your future is going to include
some kind of AGI arms race, which in my view is pretty darn dangerous. (I
think it's *more* dangerous than a world where AGI is developed by industry
or maverick scientists... others may disagree.)
I think the future you describe is unlikely even if your pessimistic stance
about the pace of AGI development is wrong. But it's not an unthinkable or
ridiculous prognostication; of course, predicting the future is not easy,
especially in times of such rapid change...

Yes, I can accept this characterization. I have "deep engineering hubris."
I kinda like the phrase, actually. Someone should use it to title a band,
or at least a CD... not a techno CD, that would be too obvious; maybe some
retro early 80's hardcore ;>

RBC is a major sponsor of the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay Tour that has been crossing Canada since the end of October 2009 in the lead up to The 2010 Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony which will take place at Vancouver’s BC Place on Friday February 12, 2010. GMR Marketing, an industry leader in mobile marketing, selected kubik to execute the centerpiece of RBC’s travelling event, the Eco-Home which was built in a truly sustainable way.
The Olympic Torch Relay Tour will visit over 1000 communities, travelling more than 45,000 kilometers before reaching the Vancouver BC Place. The Eco-Home will participate in 200 community celebrations across Canada giving the public an opportunity to gather and participate in the 2010 Olympic Torch Relay Tour community celebrations. As the centerpiece of these celebrations, the interactive mobile Eco-Home was housed in a hybrid truck that runs on solar and wind energy and is heated by solar radiant heating. Tents outside the truck feature an Olympic medal display area, a snowboard simulator, a hockey rink and a green-screen opportunity where visitors can have their picture taken with the Olympic flame.
Inside, kubik constructed an environment with interactive displays that outline how various practices can dramatically reduce our energy usage. Based on the Olympic medal format of Bronze, Silver, and Gold, the displays use real products, lighting, sound, and a new software program called Augmented Reality to show how we can use less energy for everyday living. The interactive elements themselves were created using recycled materials, LED lighting and FSC approved wood products. The result is a sustainable mobile experience perfectly suited to traveling the road alongside the RBC Olympic Torch Tour. | <urn:uuid:116b0e51-f5f4-4c8e-8d7e-21c59955b58d> | CC-MAIN-2022-40 | https://thinkubik.com/news/an-%C2%93eco-home%C2%94-for-the-rbc-olympic-torch-relay/ | 2022-10-06T15:59:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-40/segments/1664030337853.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20221006155805-20221006185805-00681.warc.gz | en | 0.933458 | 337 | [

Search warrants were executed in the Seaton, Tillydrone and Northfield areas. Police say that cocaine, heroin and cannabis with an estimated value of £23,000 was discovered. The four men aged, 35, 22, 20 and 18 are due to appear at Aberdeen Sheriff Court today (Wednesday, September 14).
Cash in excess of £15,000 was also found during the raids. DC Mike Christiansen, from the North East Division's CID, said: "We remain committed to disrupting those involved in the sale and supply of controlled drugs within our local communities.
"I would like to pay thanks for the continued support and assistance provided by the public. I would encourage anyone with concerns around drug dealing in their communities to contact Police Scotland on 101 or, if you wish to remain anonymous via independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."

Looking at the .zshrc I’ve made, I would suggest the following changes to reduce its length and complexity:
* Move zrestart() to an autoloadable function. This is done. I just need to push it in.
* Move the prompt code into a theme that can be customized easily. This is done, too, and will be pushed.
* Move Home, End, Alt-Right/Left & Alt-Delete key bindings to the ZLE code and menuselect Alt-Up/Down + Page Up/Down keybindings to complist. This not done yet.
* Fix the way Tab behaves in complist interactive mode. Not done yet.
* Move the rest of the keybinding code to an autoloadable function. Not done.
* Make a “theme” system for compsys. We could put a couple of different flavors of comp config into comp themes: one for menu select haters, ;) one that uses `interactive` type-ahead, etc. Alternatively, split the settings into several modular, autoloadable functions, so users can mix and match. Neither of these is done yet.
* Create an autoloadable function for the pushd/cd widgets. Done & will be pushed.
