You'll find Ebor Falls on the Guy Fawkes River in New South Wales about 400km north-northeast of Sydney (show me). Ebor Falls is at an altitude of approximately 1296m.
We estimate that Ebor Falls is between 44m and 50m high. This estimate is based on analysis of the topographic profile around the waterfall and may not be an accurate figure for the total fall of water seen if viewing the falls.
The nearest populated place is the village of Dorrigo which is 36km away with a population of around 970 (show me a map with Ebor Falls and Dorrigo).
The nearest sealed road to Ebor Falls is the The Waterfall Way (460m away).

Small Earth's Wormery is the perfect partner for an actively managed composting system. Ideally used for handling waste cooked food, their efficiency is really only limited by their capacity.
Our Wormery has a high capacity capable of storing over 1 ton of food scraps that can be turned into a rich, pathogen free compost through the action of worms.
Easy to operate lids allow for waste material to be tipped inside and contoured internal surfaces channel nutrient rich liquid to an outside tap. Built-in viewing windows give visual access to the process.
When completely full and thoroughly transformed the resultant compost can be dug out and used as a top dressing for flower and vegetable beds. | <urn:uuid:920cf099-be5f-4a72-8feb-de2afc55f662> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://small-earth.com/environmental/wormery.html | 2017-11-18T08:25:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804680.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118075712-20171118095712-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.932856 | 136 | [

2/3 cup of water
1/3 cup of properly prepared brown rice *Optional* Can also use Cauliflower Rice
8 cabbage leaves
1 pound grass fed ground beef
1 small onion or half a big onion, chopped
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 can tomato sauce
1. In a medium saucepan bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 50 minutes. Or follow instructions for cauliflower rice.
2. Preheat oven to 350F. Place cabbage in a microwave safe dish with about an inch of water to cover the the bottom of the dish. Place cabbage in the microwave and steam for about 13 minutes. This makes the leaves very easy to remove without tearing them. Once steamed pull the out layers off and line a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with cabbage leaves, this ensures your cabbage rolls will not burn on the bottom.
3. Carefully peel 8 leaves from the cabbage and set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine, ground beef, 1 cup cooked brown rice, or rice cauliflower, onion, egg, salt and pepper along with 2 tbsp of tomato sauce. Mix well.
4. Divide beef mixture evenly among cabbage leaves. Roll and secure with toothpicks. Place cabbage rolls in the prepared dish and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Take cabbage rolls from the oven and pour tomato sauce over all of them and serve.

After releasing Cryptic Writings in 1997, the members of Megadeth read some printed comments from Metallica's Lars Ulrich saying that he wished Megadeth would take more risks with its music.
As you might know, guitarist Dave Mustaine, with bassist David Ellefson, formed Megadeth in 1983 after a short and stormy stint in Metallica. It was no surprise, then, that Ulrich's comments packed a punch with Megadeth; what's more, Ulrich's words were particularly timely: Megadeth was just starting work on its new CD, the appropriately titled Risk.
"I think obviously a comment like that coming from somebody like Lars Ulrich has a lot of validity," Ellefson says. "They're a band that obviously took a lot of chances, and it paid off for them.But I think at this time and place, where Megadeth is at, and where our type of music fits into the world, I just think the time was now [to take a risk]. Let's just go for it and really just roll the dice and see what happens."
It's hard to gauge, however, how much of Megadeth's rejuvenation is due to Ulrich and how much is due to the band's own desire to press against the known boundaries. When talking with Ellefson, one gets the sense that Megadeth, which includes guitarist Marty Friedman and new drummer Jimmy DeGrasso, would have pushed its music in new directions even without prodding from a respected musician.
In fact, Cryptic Writings had signaled the beginning of a new chapter for the venerable heavy metal band. While Megadeth's early albums, Killing Is My Business And Business Is Good! (1985) and Peace Sells But Who's Buying? (1986), were speed metal before it had a name, subsequent albums such as Rust In Peace (1990) and Countdown to Extinction (1992) were varied in approach.
Cryptic Writings, the band's eighth CD, introduced a greater amount of melody to Megadeth's music than ever before. It was also the first Megadeth CD to be enthusiastically embraced by radio. "Trust," a rocker accented by a brief acoustic interlude, became a chart-topping hit on rock radio, while three other songs from Cryptic Writings went Top 10 on national playlists.
But as the band members finished touring behind that CD and pondered their next move, they realized they wanted to diversify the Megadeth sound even further on the next CD. Consider it mission accomplished. In fact, Ellefson believes Risk is the band's most adventurous work since Countdown to Extinction, the album generally considered the band's biggest stylistic step forward to date.
All of this boundary pushing was motivated by some experiences on the road in the early 1990s. "We had just finished a tour called 'Clash of the Titans,' " Ellefson says, "and we were on that tour with some other contemporaries of ours at that time, Anthrax, Slayer and a new band called Alice In Chains that had a very new sound, very fresh. And even though our audience wasn't responding that favorably to [Alice In Chains] at that time, we noticed that they had something new and fresh to offer."
It was at this point, Ellefson says, that Megadeth realized the speed and thrash metal scene was dying. If the band was going to continue, it was going to have to reshape its sound. Call it survival instinct. The band took that attitude into the studio at the time it recorded Countdown to Extinction, and it has kept it burning on all subsequent works.
"That whole heavy metal scene, it's almost become obsolete, and it's almost disappeared because some of those fans have grown up," says Ellefson of the time Cryptic Writings was released. "They don't go to concerts anymore. They don't buy records anymore. [But] there's a whole other side of music and a whole other type of fan out there buying records and going to concerts."
The more melodic direction that emerged on Cryptic Writings is even more pronounced on Risk, particularly on "Breadline" and "I'll Be There," two mid-tempo songs that mix pop and metal sensibilities. But that's just the start of the stylistic variations. The lead track and new single, "Insomnia," represents the biggest departure. With its programmed rhythms, Middle Eastern motif and industrial edge to its crunching guitars, the song represents a dramatic, and successful, shift in texture and tone for Megadeth. Two other songs, "Wanderlust" and "Ecstasy," stick to more traditional guitar-bass-drum instrumentation but offer sinister and sensual moods that are also slightly different from typical Megadeth concoctions.
It's also worth noting that a long-standing Megadeth trademark, the double-time bass drum work and staccato guitar riffing that defined speed metal, is virtually absent from Risk. Hard-rocking songs like "Prince of Darkness," "Time: The Beginning" and "Time: The End," three songs most likely to satisfy longtime fans, seem more rooted in '70s metal than in the shredding tones popularized by such bands as Megadeth, Metallica and Pantera.
Ellefson credits Dann Huff, who also produced Cryptic Writings, for assisting Megadeth in finding new musical directions to pursue. "Dann really helped us because we were able to take a lot of Megadeth ideas, and by putting a new groove or a new rhythm underneath us, all of a sudden we've got a Megadeth song that sounds new and fresh and exciting," Ellefson says. "Certainly 'Ecstasy' was a perfect example of that."

Another key contributor to the shift in Megadeth's music has been Bud Prager, who, along with Mike Renault, took over management of the group after the 1994 CD, Youthanasia. Prager, in fact, shares writing credits on five of the 12 tracks on Risk.
Ellefson says Prager helped clarify roles within the band, keeping Mustaine as primary songwriter, while encouraging Friedman, whose tastes include the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and the Carpenters, to contribute more to songwriting. Prager also pushed Ellefson and DeGrasso to find ways to kick-start the rhythm section of the band.
"Bud was very instrumental in helping shape the direction and mentality of us to go in and make Cryptic Writings," Ellefson says. "He is very much responsible for helping reinvent Megadeth as just a viable band.He was able to come and see Megadeth for what we are, see it for where it was headed and be able to turn the ship a little bit and make sure that it goes in a new direction so that it doesn't just go over a waterfall and crash."
Megadeth performs Tuesday, December 21, at the Aerial Theater, 520 Texas.

Keep in mind, you do not know what you will get till you ask for, and till you have this in writing, you’ve got no proof you got anything that you asked for. Key to finding & landing perfect house is a part research & good timing, however largely the matter of asking right questions before visiting, when you visit or after you visit or when you sign a lease. Ensure you are very well informed and you go in your home with eyes open at what you are getting in. When you have finished the move and you are sleeping in your bed of your new home, still you may encounter some surprises, hopefully it is nothing very significant that you thought you have asked before you moved. Did you have any queries that you ensure to ask while touring potential apartment and house? However, there’re a lot of unexpected and hidden costs linked with renting the apartment.

The best method to find more about the community before shifting in is talking to people who live there already.

Ask them some specific questions that do not waste their time, such as how long they have lived there, or whether they have had any kind of serious maintenance, management or pest problems, or if there is anything that they had addressed after they moved that they wanted they had known earlier.
We have discussed how to ensure you find the decent landlord before on apartments in Salt Lake City Utah, however ask others on what they think about a landlord also. Ask if they plan in renewing their lease and continue their living in community, or ask if they’ve any advice for somebody who is now looking at the apartments and homes in the area.

For instance, you will not know until you have lived in the apartments in Salt Lake City Utah for some weeks that garbage trucks are noisy on Tuesdays, and that huge cargo train rolls by back of complex each three weeks. | <urn:uuid:fa071758-0178-4664-b1b0-ddadc35076c4> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.kratera.com/author/admin/ | 2017-11-19T21:17:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119210640-20171119230640-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.967631 | 2,227 | [

Toph earns money by scamming the scammers to Katara’s annoyance, but the two girls end up bonding.
Last time on Avatar: Roku and Sozin’s intertwined backstories were revealed.
Cheating the Cheaters
There’s a brief scene of Katara seemingly betraying Toph to a town’s authorities before cutting to “three days earlier”. Out in their camp near the town, a blindfolded Aang is training in using earth-sense like Toph does. However, Katara and Toph end up fighting each other opposed to training Aang. Sokka cries out “Sneak attack” as he charges to Aang’s amusement. The two girls end up doing a mud fight, leading Aang to point out that they’re supposed to be training him. Katara leaves to clean up while Toph then rallies the guys to head to town for some fun.
Sokka wants a messenger hawk, but they only have a single silver piece left. Toph has a plan to hustle the hustlers, which ends with the trio gleefully returning to their camp with lots of supplies. Aang and Sokka explain what happened, leading Katara to worry about it becoming a habit. Although Aang ‘avatar promises’ that it won’t, a montage of them doing scams ensues.
Back at the campsite, Katara is worried about them attracting attention to themselves. Yeah… it’s definitely telling about where the group’s priorities have to be when that’s her biggest concern. She then psychoanalyzes Toph, but I suspect she’s more projecting about the younger girl missing her parents than having made a deduction. When Katara brings up their previous encounter with Combustion Man, Sokka suggests “Sparky-Sparky Boom Man” as a nickname. Toph stomps off, leading Sokka to leave to spend money.
Sokka buys ‘Hawky’, warning him that they already have a lemur in ‘Team Avatar’. The teen nearly misses the wanted poster for Toph. Aang and Katara are training in the nearby river (?) when Sokka returns to their camp. He attempts to show her the poster, which calls her the Runaway in a title drop, forgetting that she’s blind. After he explains the poster, Toph is more excited than anything else. Sokka is concerned about the extra attention as they’re supposed to be lying low, but she manages to bribe him into staying quiet. Katara and Aang show up, the former rueful about Hawky. Momo instantly goes on the offensive, leading to a fight between the two critters.
Later, Katara bends some soup into Appa’s mouth. That’s not only neat, but it helps showcase how bending can be practically used given how often it’s depicted as part of fighting. Aang is at the camp, while Sokka and Toph return after more scamming.
The teenage girl tries to show Toph the wanted poster, making the younger girl annoyed because she’s blind and can’t see it. It turns out Katara went through her stuff, eventually admitting that she did so because she knew something was up and not because it was ‘messy’.
Katara and Toph get into a fight, ultimately stomping off in opposite directions. After some time, Sokka reveals his ‘plan’ to Aang, pleasing the younger boy. Sokka uses Hawky to send a message to Katara with Toph’s signature. His sister yells at him as she sees right through the plan, tearing up the note before leaving. Aang suggests doing the inverse, but Sokka rightfully suspects they’d run into “a similar problem”.
Under a ridge, Katara is moping in some water (and I think she might be naked… were the censors asleep?!). Sokka and Toph end up on the ledge above, the former admitting that his sister has her flaws but was strong and responsible following their mother’s death. He confesses that nowadays, when he tries to remember his mother’s face all he can see is Katara’s. Admitting that Katara can be motherly but that makes the other girl compassionate and kind, Toph adds that she cares more about the real her than her biological mother. Toph punches Sokka in the arm and warns him against telling Katara any of this.
I have to wonder if Sokka predicted where his sister would go and thus set up this situation. It’s not impossible, but as seen in the previous scene, usually he’s not that subtle with his plans. However, that same scene has Sokka acknowledge he needs to do this without Hawky so maybe this was Sokka’s plan.
As they all return to the camp, Toph tries to apologize to Katara but the other girl reaches out by offering to pull a scam with her. Both guys are overwhelmed/baffled, ending up on the ground.
There’s a brief voiceover prior to the opening scene being shown again. However, Toph gets put in a wooden cell while Katara is confronted by the Combustion Man while trying to obtain the reward money.
Aang and Sokka leave to check on the girls, leaving Appa in charge. When the other two critters start growling, one growl from the bigger creature shuts them up. Heh.
Katara and Toph are grumpy in the wooden cell, the latter having realized that they’re the bait for trapping Aang. The older girl grouses before admitting that she wanted to prove that she was “fun” too. The girls end up bonding.
The town is seemingly abandoned, with Combustion Man up on a roof. Aang and Sokka narrowly avoid his first attack, the man coming down to attack again.
Toph admits that she left her meteor bracelet back at their camp out of fear it’d be taken from her. Katara brushes sweat off her brow, causing an epiphany. She starts to run in place to create sweat to bend (by cutting through the wooden boards, they can therefore escape).
“Katara, you’re a genius!” declares Toph. “A sweaty, stinky genius!”
The guys are fleeing from Combustion Man, Aang suggesting that they split up. But Combustion Man obviously focuses on the preteen and he ends up thrown at the Ozai statue, therefore weakened. Katara comes to Aang’s rescue by freezing some water (sweat?) around their foe’s head.
The group flees, Toph using a boulder to block a blow. A bit of rubble hits his tattoo, causing Combustion Man to briefly be unable to use his special type of bending. Sokka gets inspired to dub their new foe by the name I’ve already been using for him. They fly off on Appa. That night, Toph wants Katara’s help to send a letter to her parents. They use Hawky to send the letter… and apparently forgot to check with Sokka first.
A solid episode where Toph and Katara bonded and learned to understand each other better. I suspect after these events that Toph will be more cautious in how frequently she ‘scams the scammers’ while Katara will be less rigid in what the others find fun. Sokka highlights to Toph (and the viewers) how fast his little sister had to grow up following the death of their mother.
It’s not brought up, but Sokka only really had to try to be a man after his father’s departure only a few years ago. Out of the main cast, I suspect that Katara and Zuko had to grow up the fastest- but none of them got a normal childhood or teenage-hood. Particularly as Zuko is at most seventeen and he’s the oldest. Speaking of whom, Zuko and the other Fire Nation teens didn’t show up at all here.
The Combustion Man got his name in the show proper at last, and the viewers at least saw that he has a weakness. But to the Gaang, he’s still an enigmatic, nigh unstoppable threat.
That tongue-in-cheek gag is the only moment where Katara really ‘mothers’ Aang and this episode highlights that being maternal is Katara’s default behavior towards people she cares about. Overall, this episode was largely a ‘breather’ episode. This season has been having a lot of those as the show builds up to the invasion on the day of the eclipse- mostly to flesh out various characters and to set up for the series finale.
This episode only got one page in the art book. There’s a black-and-white design of the Ozai statue (and how it functions), three posters and their translations (amusingly enough, the authorities think Toph isn’t really blind), some sketches of the Town Authority’s facial expressions, and at the bottom is a “background design” of the town.

During the month May, I’ve been sharing with you my experience with the Eureka Brushroll Clean Vacuum. Last week I gave your an honest review of the Eurkea Brushroll Clean Vacuum (there were some pros and cons), and this week I’m going to spend a little time detailing one of the coolest features of the vacuum, the self-cleaning brushroll.
Cleaning the brushroll on a vacuum is a pain. And unfortunately, if you have a child or family member with long hair or a dog that sheds their weight in hair, it is a fact of life. In fact, one in 10 Americans cite a tangled brushroll as their biggest issue with vacuuming.
Luckily, The Eureka Brushroll Clean has a self-cleaning brushroll, so you never have to use scissors to cut tangled hair away from the brushroll again. Simple press the pedal for 10 to 15 seconds while the vacuum is running and tangles are removed and deposited directly into the canister…and you get a clean, like-new brushroll. In fact, the reason Eureka made this feature is because they WATCHED how people clean and innovate solutions to everyday problems.
I was a little leery of this feature because we typically don’t vacuum up that much hair and wondered if we would use the self-cleaning brushroll. Well, imagine my surprise, when I decided to just “clean the vacuum” for the heck-of-it and saw how much “stuff” the vacuum cleaned from its brushroll. And then I thought about how that “stuff” just continually collects and makes it harder and harder to really get a clean, vacuumed floor.
In fact, I actually did a little video of it.
At this point, I may sound like a broken record, but I can with 100% certainty that the Eureka Brushroll Clean Vacuum is a super deal for $198 (it’s sold at Walmart). Between the incredible suction (independent testing confirms its proven power cleans carpets better than Dyson DC41), how lightweight it is and the self-cleaning brushroll, it’s a win-win vacuum.
And speaking of win-win, we have the last chance to win a vacuum on the blog.
If you are reading this post in a feed reader, this is a Gleam Giveaway and will require you to go to the website to enter. Giveaway open till end of day May 24th and only to residents of the continuous 48-states.
I want to make you aware of an this week. On May 20th at 2:00 CST there will be a 30 min Facebook chat with Consumer Queen & Redefined Mom on Eureka’s Facebook Page. Prizes include a Eureka BrushRoll Clean Vacuum, Walmart Gift Cards, plus other goodies. Plus, if you arrive to the party 10 mins early and you could be entered to win a $50 Walmart Gift Card.
Disclosure: Eureka is a proud sponsor and partner of Redefined Mom and provided the giveaway prize. However, my gross old vacuum and the written remarks are entirely my own. Want more information – check out my full disclosure statement. | <urn:uuid:e94d01fb-2578-4fe5-afa8-c483cb276292> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://redefinedmom.com/best-feature-on-eureka-brushroll-clean-vacuum-self-cleaning-brushroll/ | 2017-11-19T22:27:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119210640-20171119230640-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.956122 | 676 | [

The Khazanchi haveli, like many others of Shahjahanabad, lies in ruins, its whitewashed archways covered with black dirt that routinely emanates from the small scale establishments in its vicinity. However, this takes away little from the mystique of this haveli that belonged to Emporer Shah Jahan's accountants and book-keepers and was used to stash away its money, in those days, coins and mohurs. Since the haveli had to be close to the Red Fort
(and is fabled to have been connected to the Red Fort through an underground tunnel), it happens to be close to the entrance of Chandni Chowk. Walk down from the Red Fort towards Fatehpuri, take a left on the road that goes to Dariba. The haveli lies at the end of the road that connects Dariba and Esplanade Road. | <urn:uuid:be3d1800-e2f8-4199-af33-4709dee77aef> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.happytrips.com/delhi/khazanchi-haveli/ps47641723.cms | 2017-11-19T21:17:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119210640-20171119230640-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.961786 | 181 | [

- The other bedroom is about 11 square meters also furnished with a double size bed, a wardrobe and a dresser. With a pleasant aspect this room benefits from plenty of natural light.
For both bedrooms linen sets will be let at your disposal.
The apartment has two bathrooms and one of them will be exclusively reserved for the summer tenants. The bathroom is brand new and a towel set will be at your disposal.
Regarding the rest of the flat, there is a large open kitchen/ big living room areas. The kitchen is fully equipped (washing machine/dishwasher) and the living room has comfortable sofas and overlooks a pretty nice view and a tennis courts and courtyards area.

About our lovely roomates with who you will be sharing the flat :
- Jason and Lisa are an Australian couple, both working in London. Jason is a surveyor and Lisa works as an Occupational Therapist in a hospital down the road. They’re both easy going, love a good laugh and will always be open to share a wine or a beer on any night of the week! Be prepared for their sarcastic sense of humour and fondness for random shenanigans…
- Ramin is the only Gersian (German and Persian) in the village. He works in real estate which does not impede him from being the best cook ever on the side. Working suits at day, he becomes a proper hipster at night and would be a good source of advises for your future night out at Shoreditch and Hoxton.
As our roomates are the best roomates ever they will be at our disposition during all your stay and will organise parties only if your desire so. Persian dinner or Australian barbecue would be up to you!

Few weeks ago, Notjustok started a lyric exhibition on her Instagram page, in an attempt to showcase how dope some of Nigerian artiste’s lyrics are.
Ceeza Milli’s lyrics for his recently released single titled – ROTATE was the pick of the day and among the awesome comments about his lyrics, a comment was made in the comment section and Ceeza Milli did not like it very much:
mister_obie – All those cheap lyrics
Ceeza Milli responded by saying:
ceezamilli @mister_obie lol can ur daddy write a chorus ? If he could I’m sure he would have changed ur life u know cos judging from ur Timeline my guy ure lost Fucktard u don’t disrespect a hustle if u don’t even have a life 👎🏽

Real Housewife Bethenny Frankel is once again in the press, but not because her new television show, Bethenny Getting Married?, premiered last night.
Apprentice contender Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth has alleged Frankel had plastic surgery after giving birth and claimed Frankel's husband is gay.
Manigault-Stallworth released a statement Thursday to Perez Hilton in response to comments Frankel made when The View cohosts made comparisons between the two reality-television stars.
The blog post said, "I have never once said a bad word about her or all of the [rumors] swirling around Jason and his sexuality. Everyone knows he's gay, but we never said anything — because she was happy. When she got a tummy tuck with her C-section after the baby and pretended that she just lost the baby weight naturally, none of us said anything, because she was happy."
Manigault-Stallworth ends her statement by calling Frankel names and by saying that she is insulting everyone. | <urn:uuid:cd4fa936-adb7-4b40-8fe9-4f91434971ce> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.advocate.com/news/daily-news/2010/06/11/omarosa-attacks-bethenny-frankel | 2017-11-21T12:39:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806353.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121113222-20171121133222-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.97829 | 216 | [

OpenCart- Accept Cash Payments
In open cart I see a Cash on delivery payment module, but how do I get it to have a Cash Payment option. IE for regions where we have a local person who can accept cash in hand, but make it clear it is cash in hand prior to shipping with direction of how to pay our local rep.
Unfortunately, Open cart is not set up as a point of sale software so the Cash on delivery payment module will require payment and delivery. You can try POS solution like <a href="http://www.kassanova.org/en/supported-webstores/pos-for-opencart" target="_blank">Kossa Nova</a> for Open Cart. You can also try the Open Cart forums to see if any new modules are coming out that can utilize this functionality. Unfortunately, we do not have any documentation on his at this time.

I'm cheating a little bit by including When Willie Comes Marching Home/Up the River (1950/1930) in my blog - I didn't get it from Netflix, I bought it from the cut-out DVD bin at the 7-11. Still, they were on my Netflix queue...
Both were directed by John Ford. Up the River is an oddball prison flick. Humphrey Bogart is a prison trustie who falls in love with a woman prisoner as he processes her in. When he is paroled, he gets caught up in a financial fraud, and it takes two of his friends from the joint, Spenser Tracy and William Hymer, to get him out of it. They need to escape from prison, then get back in before the big prison baseball game.
It's all a bit of a muddle, but it is interesting to see a young Bogey as a mostly innocent noble naif.
When Willie Comes Marching Home is also a bit of a mess, but a fun one. It stars Dan Dailey as an ordinary guy in an ordinary town. When the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, he is the first to volunteer, making him a hometown hero. But when he is stationed stateside in that same hometown, people start to get tired of him hanging around. They want him fighting overseas. He wants to fight overseas. But Uncle Sam needs him at home, training gunners.
The first three acts are fine - there's a bit of a Preston Sturges, Hail the Conquering Hero/Miracle of Morgan's Creek feel. Remember that the war is fought at home, too - that sort of thing. Dailey's induction and basic training have a nice documentary feel, which is not surprising considering Ford's WWII documentary work.
But in the fourth act, Dailey gets a sudden chance to fight overseas, but he has to leave immediately. He fouls up and gets stuck in occupied France, meets up with a beautiful fighter, and is sent back with valuable intelligence - after being plied with booze in a make-believe wedding. His trip back to London and Washington involves no sleep and more booze to keep him going, and he winds up back in his hometown just 4 days after he left, drunk and exhausted. And do his friends and family believe that he is now a hero?
People say that Ford has no touch for comedy, and that's fair. But the slow, lazy pace of the first part, then the sudden jolt of acceleration, is very bracing. You're thrown into a new movie, and it is quite exhilarating, and a special kind of funny.
Neither of these movies are "classics", except in the sense that they are black-and-white movies made by a recognized master. River is a nice chance to see young Bogart and Tracy. And Willie is just plain fun. | <urn:uuid:97343abd-4947-4469-b48d-0e47e6c39664> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://coolbev.blogspot.com/2016/06/ford-theater.html | 2017-11-23T20:37:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806939.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123195711-20171123215711-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.978415 | 589 | [

Gaétan Caron has a picture of himself at 12 with his brothers. They are clutching a toy gun. He has something more civilized: a guitar. He is holding it as a leftie, like Paul McCartney or Jimi Hendrix.
Now in his mid-50s, Mr. Caron owns the same model of Fender Stratocaster as Hendrix. He has a repertoire of some 75 songs – early Beatles, Tom Petty, Rolling Stones – and a band, FedRock, whose name is a giveaway that his day job is more dull than his occasional evening festivities.
A few times a year, FedRock, with Mr. Caron on lead guitar, regales charities and on one occasion, a gathering of Northwest Territories regulators. On good nights, they strum out Born To Be Wild , or maybe Satisfaction , and hope the floor fills. “A dancing crowd is for us the ultimate satisfaction,” he says.
Mr. Caron is chairman of the National Energy Board, a position that has placed him at the centre of many of Canada’s most vexing energy and environmental issues, and routinely positions him before teams of lawyers and industry titans vying for his support. Sitting at the front of the hearing room, where he looks much like a judge in court, does he ever think of his nights with the Stratocaster? Does he ever wish the lawyers would dance?
He pauses for a moment.
But the suits might dance, if they thought it would do them any good. In Mr. Caron’s hands, after all, lies the power of life and death for many of Canada’s energy ambitions.
In 33 years at the National Energy Board, Mr. Caron has become a key figure in a organization weighing an unprecedented number of critical issues. Virtually all of the plans to move Canadian energy to new markets are likely to die unless they can gain NEB support.
Mr. Caron, of course, doesn’t have a say in all of the matters before the NEB. Hearing panels operate independently and Mr. Caron has no involvement in reviewing Northern Gateway, for example, the controversial Enbridge Inc. pipeline project to carry oil sands crude to the B.C. coast. And the Conservative government has seized some decision-making power from the NEB, giving it to cabinet instead.
But Mr. Caron sits atop an organization called upon to help define Canada for decades to come. Will the oil sands be able to continue their expansion? Will pipelines carry Canadian energy to ships bound for Asia? Will the North be transformed by an industry seeking Arctic oil?
If there’s a secret to the way the NEB makes decisions, it is in how Mr. Caron counsels those around him.
He suggests they attempt to paint for themselves two images of Canada, one with a project approved and another with it rejected. The brushstrokes of that image should outline the possibilities of environmental damage, social change, economic opportunity and the impact of previous development. Then decide which image looks better.
“We have a very, very powerful mandate,” Mr. Caron says.
Low-profile no longer
In broader business circles, Mr. Caron has little public profile. He rarely grants interviews. Last fall, in a speech to energy executives, he acknowledged it was the first time he had spoken at the Calgary Petroleum Club, a place that serves as the city’s locus of economic might.
For all his time with the NEB – or perhaps as a result of it – he remains something of an outsider. It’s obvious in his speech, still underscored with the accent of his upbringing in Quebec City, where his father was in pharmaceutical sales and his mother “was a full-time family manager.” Mr. Caron wanted to be an economist, but during a 1970s “return to the Earth” movement, he changed his mind. “I said, ‘let’s [study] rural engineering. It sounds like going back to nature.’”
He left Quebec in 1979 to take his first job with the NEB, then based in Ottawa. But long after the NEB moved to Calgary in 1991, however, his roots are unmistakable. Mr. Caron speaks French at home – he is married with two children – and at Wine-Ohs, a downtown restaurant, he orders duck confit poutine.Report Typo/Error | <urn:uuid:6c2e88cf-4b95-45b6-ac73-ca546e6bb691> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/careers/careers-leadership/the-nebs-gatan-caron-strumming-a-new-kind-of-power-chord/article10239156/ | 2017-11-23T20:47:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806939.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123195711-20171123215711-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.974186 | 930 | [

There is nothing lucky about Queens’ hot start.
The Royals ran their record to 6-0 with an 87-77 nonconference win against J.C. Smith on Tuesday at Curry Arena by playing with balance on both ends of the floor. Queens, ranked 21st in Division II, placed five players in double figures, led by forward Sean Morgan’s 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting. Working primarily around the basket, the 6-6, 265-pound Morgan hit his first five shots to soften the Golden Bulls’ interior defense for Queens’ perimeter shooters.
“He’s really come on and bought into the system,” Royals coach Bart Lundy said. “He’s gotten his body right, changed his diet, changed his outlook and energy. He’s a horse.”
Morgan had help, with Rob Lewis adding 17 points on 6-of-18 shooting. Kendall Jones added 14 while Todd Withers and Marquis Rankin pumped in 13 and 10, respectively.
Never miss a local story.
J.C. Smith (4-4), which has lost three straight, was paced by center Alandre Davis’ 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting and 14 rebounds. Stedmon Lemon chipped in 21 points on 5-of-9 shooting for the Golden Bulls, who connected on 42.6 percent of their shots, including 40 percent in the second half.
Morgan connected on all five shots in the first half for 12 points to spark Queens to a 42-37 halftime bulge, but the Royals, who hit 47.1 percent (16-of-34) of their shots compared with 45.2 (14-of-31) for J.C. Smith, struggled to contain the 6-9 Davis, who had his way in the paint.
“He’s been really focused,” Lundy said of Morgan. “But we had trouble with their big boy, too.”
Queens never trailed in the second half but couldn’t shake J.C. Smith until a 12-6 spurt pushed the Royals to an 81-67 advantage with 4:15 left. The Royals’ ball movement opened opportunities for easy shots while the Golden Bulls struggled to keep pace.
“We couldn’t sustain,” J.C. Smith coach Steve Joyner said. “We showed flashes of understanding what we need to do, but we couldn’t sustain. I thought that was what was key for Queens tonight. They were as consistent in the first half as they were in the second half.”
Lemon paced the Golden Bulls in the first half with 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting and Davis canned all five of his shots for 10 points.
Queens made liberal use of the three-point arc, hitting 7-of-17 tries, including five makes on its final six possessions. Jones hit 3-of-5 shots from distance and Lewis drained a pair on the Royals’ final pair of possessions to push their lead to five points. | <urn:uuid:6b7b54e4-466a-454e-ad6c-e1d45167bd0e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/college/mens-basketball/article47478245.html | 2017-11-18T10:35:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804724.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118094746-20171118114746-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.969159 | 649 | [

Action movie star Steven Seagal says he “would remotely consider” running for Arizona governor. In an interview with Phoenix ABC affiliate ABC15, Seagal said he has discussed the possibility with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio but says he has “a lot more other responsibilities that may be more important to address.” The 61-year-old actor made the comments while promoting the latest season of his reality show Steven Seagal—Lawman: Maricopa County. In the show, Seagal joins forces with Arpaio as a member of the group of civilians who help out the self-described “toughest sheriff in America.”
So, what does Seagal think is the most serious problem facing the country? After spending time with Arpaio the answer may not be too surprising: open borders. “Believe it or not I think it’s open borders,” Seagal said. “People are talking about Islamic terrorism in America. I don’t think that at all … I think across these borders any kind of terrorism can come and does come and I think this is a tremendous oversight by the current administration. I think that it’s a crime and I think we should really be paying attention to our borders.” He also strongly defended Arpaio against claims that the reason why he’s so focused on illegal immigration is because he’s racist. “Is Joe Arpaio racist? No, he’s not. And I’m not going to say, I don’t think he’s not—he’s not. He doesn’t care what nationality you are, he cares if you’re a criminal.”
Seagal’s reality show ran for two seasons on A&E and was set in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. But the local Sheriff’s Office stopped cooperating with the show after a sexual harassment lawsuit was filed by a woman who claimed Seagal tried to keep her as a “sex toy” during the filming of the reality show, notes the New Orleans Times-Picayune. The show was thought to be dead but then cable channel Reelz picked it up. | <urn:uuid:c02428cd-4e98-4c6e-83be-4eeb84a51852> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2014/01/05/steven_seagal_considering_running_for_arizona_governor.html | 2017-11-19T05:10:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805362.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119042717-20171119062717-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.968916 | 463 | [

20 principles, Art of Good Writing – Part II
This in continuation of my previous post writing has become more critical that ever. When you write, try to leave out all the parts readers will skip. Make it simple, memorable, inviting to look at. Make it fun to read.
This is a continuation of 20 principles, Art of Good Writing – Part I, which discussed points 1 – 10 of this article. Please read it for a clear understanding.
11. Do not overwrite or overstate
No more words than necessary. Take the time to boil down your points. I used to feel that using words like “really”, “actually”, or “extremely” made writing more forceful. It doesn’t. They only get in the way
Remember the story of the man who apologized for writing such a long letter, explaining that he just didn’t have the time to write a short one.
12. Come to the point
Churchill could have said, “The position in regard to France is very serious.” What he did say was, “The news from France is bad.”
Don’t beat around the bush. Say what you think – in simple, declarative sentences. Write confidently.
13. State things as simply as you can
Use familiar words and uncomplicated sentences.
Think, think. think! If you cannot think well you cannot write well.
14. Handle numbers consistently
Newspapers generally spell out numbers for ten and under, use numerals for 11 and up.
Don’t write M when you mean a Thousand, or MM when you mean A Million. The reader may not know this code. Write $5,000 and not $5M. Write $7,000,000 (or $7 million) – not $7MM.
15. Avoid needless words
The songwriter wrote, “Softly as in a morning sunrise” – and Ring Lardner explained that this was as opposed to a late afternoon or evening sunrise. Poetic license may be granted for a song, but not for phrases like these:
|Don’t write||Do Write|
Have a discussion
Hold a meeting
Study in depth
Consensus of opinion
At the present time
Until such time as

Always go through your first draft once with the sole purpose of deleting all unnecessary words, phrases, and sentences. David Ogilvy has improved many pieces of writing by deleting entire paragraphs, and sometimes even whole pages.
16. Be concise, but readable
Terseness is a virtue, if not carried to extremes. Don’t leave out words. Write full sentences, and make them count.
17. Be brief, simple and natural
- Don’t write, “The reasons are fourfold.” Write, “There are four reasons.”
- Don’t start sentences with “importantly.” Write, “The important point is…”
- Don’t write “hopefully” when you mean “I hope that.” “Hopefully” means “in a hopeful manner.” Its common misuse annoys a great many literate people.
- Never use the word “basically.” It can always be deleted. It is a basically useless word.
- Avoid the hostile term “against,” as in “This campaign goes against teenagers.” You are not against teenagers. On the contrary, you want them to buy your product. Write, “This campaign addresses teenagers,” or “This campaign is aimed at teenagers.”
18. Don’t write like a lawyer or a bureaucrat
“Re” is legalese meaning “in the matter of,” and is never necessary.
The slash – as in and/or – is bureaucratize. Don’t write, “We’ll hold the meeting on Monday and/or Tuesday.” Write, “We’ll hold the meeting on Monday or Tuesday – or both days, if necessary.”
19. Never be content with your first draft
Rewrite, with an eye toward simplifying and clarifying. Rearrange. Revise. Above all, Cut. When you write, words to keep in mind are- needless, brief, concise, draft and interest . Think well, because if you cannot think well you cannot write well.
Mark Twain said that writers should strike out every third word on principle. “You have no idea what vigour it adds to your style.”
For every major document, let time elapse between your first and second drafts – at least overnight. Then come at it with a questioning eye and a ruthless attitude.
The five examples that follow were taken from a single presentation. They show how editing shortened, sharpened, and clarified what the writer was trying to say.
|First Draft||Second Draft, Much Better|
|Consumer perception of the brand changed very positively.||Consumer perception of the brand improved.|
|Generate promotion interest through high levels of advertising spending.||Use heavy advertising to stimulate interest in promotions.|
|Move from product advertising to an educational campaign, one that would instruct viewers on such things as…||Move from product advertising to an educational campaign on such subjects as…|
|Using the resources of Ogilvy & Mather in Europe, in addition to our Chicago office, we have been able to provide the company with media alternatives they had previously been unaware of.||Ogilvy & Mather offices in Europe and Chicago showed the company media alternatives that it hadn’t known about.|
|Based on their small budget, we have developed a media plan which is based on efficiency in reaching the target audience.||We developed a media plan that increases the efficiency of the small budget by focusing on prospects.|
20. Have somebody else look over your draft
All O&M advertising copy is reviewed many times, even though it is written by professional writers. Before David Ogilvy makes a speech, he submits a draft to his partners for editing and comment.
What you write represents the agency as much as an advertisement by a creative director or a speech by a chairman. They solicit advice. Why not you?

“ Brand: Comfort / Type: Fabric Conditioner / Category: Laundry „
When it comes to fabric conditioners I am not overly fussy however I do prefer the Comfort Exhilarations range or Lenor so when they are on offer I will buy these rather than the supermarket brands. There are two different sizes available in the range, a 750ml bottle which at the moment has been reduced down from £2.23 to £1.50 in both Asda and Tesco and a 1.2 litre bottle which is £3.35 obviously this means the smaller bottle is alot better value. The size of the bigger bottle has been reduced recently as with a lot of branded product they are reducing how much you get rather than changing the price.
There are a few different fragrances in the range and a couple of new ones have been released in the last couple of months, there is strawberry and lily kisses, blueberry and jasmine twist, poppy and peach, bluebell and bergamot, vanilla and gold iris and melon and lotus flower. I find that these products smell lots stringer than most other fabric conditioners.
I generally buy the strawberry and lily kisses in this range but when I found they had been reduced recently and they didn't have any stock of the one I usually use I decided to get a couple of the others to try and so got this one and blueberry and jasmine twist since I hadn't tried these two before. The product somes packaged in very brightly coloured bottles apart from the vanilla and gold iris, this bottle is bright green in colour and you certainly wouldn't hjave a problem finding it on the supermarket shelves.
The bottle states that the ingredients among others are 5-15% Cationic Surfactants, <5% Perfume, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Amyl Cinnamal and Benzisothiazolinone.
To use the fabric conditioner you use the screw top lid to pour out the required dose, you need a full capful for a 6-7kg load and about 3/4 of a capful for a 4-5kg load. I have a 6 kg machine but I use 3/4 of a capful each time as I find that this is ample to give the required effects. There are a couple of warnings on the botle such as you should keep away from children, do not pour directly onto fabrics, wash and dry hands after use and keep away from eyes.
This product smells lovely, it does smell of melon but I think it is a bit sweeter than a melon smells and I really liked the scent, I wasn't sure I was going to like the scent when I had smelt it in the bottle but it doesn't smell anywhere near as strong on the clothes. I found that as with the other scents my clothes are left soft and the smell fragrances the whole house if I have to dry my clothes inside. When you dry your clothes outside you do seem to lose the smell from the clothes a little but they still smell lovely.
I will continue buying this product when it is on offer and have found now that there are another two fragrances I like so there is even more choice for my washing.
My preferred fabric softener brand is Comfort, so I often stock up when I spot it on special offer. When I saw the Comfort in Melon and Lotus Flower, a variety I'd not tried before, for just £1 a bottle a couple of months ago I decided to try it despite the fact I didn't really need any at the time.
The product comes in a green bottle with information for use printed on the back alongside diagrams. It can be used for hand washing as well as machine washing, but I hate hand washing with a passion and therefore have never used the product for that purpose.
To use, you simply pour a capful into your washing machine drawer, altering the amount depending on the size of the load or whether you want extra softness. The thing which really surprised me about this was that the liquid is a pale green colour, as despite the colouring of the bottle for some reason I was expecting the liquid to be white.
The reason I had never purchased this variety before, was simply that the fragrance - melon and lotus flower - did not really appeal to me. I have to say, I was quite pleasantly surprised by the scent of the product, which was much nicer than expected. It has a very sweet, fruity melon scent, but also smells a bit leafy to me. It's a perfect fragrance for a fabric softener in my opinion, as it does smell very 'clean' and fresh and I am a little shocked at how much I love it.
I usually just use the recommended 35ml per wash for 'normal' loads and I find that is always more than adequate for my needs. As soon as I open the washing machine door after washing, this is the scent that hits me. Given the time of the year, I tend to dry most of my clothes indoors on an airer in the spare room and I find the room is always filled with the scent of the product.
My clothes always feel soft after use, as I have come to expect from Comfort and fabrics retain the scent of the product well. I have found that even when my clothes have been folded and put away for a week or so, when I come to put them on I can still smell the lovely Comfort fragrance on them. This is also a great product for washing your bed sheets with as I find my bedding smells absolutely amazing - there's nothing like getting into a fresh clean bed - especially one that smells so gorgeous!
I paid £1 for a 750ml / 21 wash bottle of this in ASDA during their New Year cleaning event. Having just looked online it seems they no longer stock it, which leads me to think it may have been discontinued to make way for new scents. I'm actually really disappointed by that as I would have been prepared to make this a regular purchase. It seems that it is still available to buy however from Waitrose at £4.07 for a 42 wash bottle. If I'm right and it has been discontinued, it will be worth checking discount shops as these sort of things tend to pop up there.
Overall, I really liked this product. It left my clothes feeling soft and wonderfully scented. If you can get hold of a bottle then it is definitely worth a try.
I love my toiletries and beauty products and like to try out lots of new products, and the same thing can be said for my cleaning products..particularly fabric softeners (which I seem to have a weak spot for!).
I have recently just finished using the Comfort Melon and Lotus fabric conditioner, so will now give you my opinion on the product..
The softener or conditioner - which ever you prefer to relate to it as -is part of the Exhilarations range and comes housed in an upright standing bottle. The design of the bottle is identical to the other 'Exhilarations' in the fact it has a distinct tear drop shape to it.
The colouring reflects the fragrance and is a summery light green with pale coloured flowers cascading around the bottle.
The one I am reviewing is the standard sized 750ml, though this is also available in a 1 litre sized bottle also.
The 750ml states it gives 21 washes and costs anything from the £1 upwards mark (depending on where you shop), whilst the larger 1 litre bottle gives 42 washes and can cost around the £3 mark.
Availability wise, this is normally sold in most supermarkets and large retailers that stock fabric softener.
Though the lid doubles as a measure cup indicating via an embossed line how much to use, I always use slightly less. I state this in the majority of my reviews of similar products but it really is the case that using slightly less gives the exact same results, and is budget friendly making the product last longer.
On pouring the liquid into the measure cup I see it's quite a 'zingy' green in colour, whilst the consistency is slightly thin.
The scent is not as strong as I would have anticipated, but nevertheless there is an unmistakable scent of honey whilst in the background is a light floral note (presumably the lotus flower).
I have a husband who works in engineering and two little boys that like rolling around in mud (or so it seems) so I do quite a lot of washing at least two loads a day. Subsequently I go through a lot of washing liquids and fabric softeners so I take note of what works and what is best to avoid next time.
On using this the first time I found the fragrance to intensify when put in the washing machine which I have found happen a lot with other brands. The initial scent isn't overpowering but once it's been through the wash cycle the liquid seems to penetrate the fabrics making it seem stronger afterwards.
My thoughts on this?~
I like the sweetness this fragrance leaves on my clothing, and while it may not be overly strong it's certainly noticeable. The lotus is detectable but is very faint compared to the melon but balances out the scent nicely as I think melon on it's own would have been too sickly sweet perhaps.
My clothes felt incredibly soft and once dry were relatively crease free (which is a bonus as I hate ironing). I used this on my bedding which gave it a lovely fragrance that lasted, as did when used on my clothes - the scent lingered for a few days which was very pleasant indeed.
Both myself and two young sons have quite sensitive skin and I worry about products such as these causing rashes etc. This I'm happy to say caused no such thing and smelled lovely into the bargain.
Though I'm happy to recommend this the main reason for me buying it was the fact it was on offer at just £1. It has served a purpose and left my clothes soft and smelling wonderful, but there are nicer fragrances out there so I'm not sure I'll buy this again too soon (there are too many others out there waiting for me to try!)
That aside, I would buy again (if on offer!) so it does get the full marks from me.
Comfort is a popular laundry brand from the Unilever company. They offer an extensive selection of fabric conditioners to leave clothes soft and scented after washing.
There are different ranges within Comfort including Twilight Sensations, Naturals and Exhilarations. Each range offers several scents and different sized bottles.
~~~Product and Range~~~
The Exhilirarations range is fairly new to Comfort. This range includes the following scented fabric conditioners :
Strawberry and Lily Kiss
Blueberry and Jasmine Twist
Melon and Lotus Flower Lift *reviewing*
Each conditioner is concentrated. This means the liquid is stronger and less is required to do its intended job. The packaging is therefore reduced by around 50% which is ideal for the planet.
Melon and Lotus Flower Lift is described as being a scent which will lighten your mood and lift your spirits.
Like the other Comfort Conditioners, this one comes in a tall, teardrop shaped plastic bottle. It comes complete with a plastic cap which doubles up as the measuring cup. The bottle is mainly a bright shade of green with complimenting floral images.
The front of the bottles shows the brand, product and scent name. On the back, details of the conditioner can be found alongside information on reducing packaging, directions for use, ingredients and contact details for Unilever.
The plastic bottle can be recycled after use.
Fabric conditioner should be used alongside your normal washing powder/gel/tablets/capsules. Using the measuring cap or your own personal judgement, pour the recommended dosage into the dedicated slot in your washing machine drawer.
For large loads of around 6-7kg - 55ml (also for optimal softness)
For medium loads of around 4-5kg - 35ml
For handwashing - 18ml to each 10l of water
5-15% Cationic Surfactants , <5% Perfume, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Linalool, Geraniol, Citronellol, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-Cyclohexene Carboxaldehyde , Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone, Benzisothiazolinone
~~~Availability and Price~~~
Melon and Lotus Flower Lift can be picked up in supermarkets. A 21wash or 42wash (750ml/1l) are available.
Expect to pay around £1.50-£2.00 for 750ml and around £3.00 for 1l.
I adore my fabric conditioners as I love super soft and gorgeously scented clothes and linen. Since moving into our new home, I have found it difficult to find special offers on fabric conditioners and began to run out! Panicking, I searched the aisles of my local Morrisons and discovered Comfort Melon and Lotus Flower Lift from the Exhilarations collection. I am a fan of the Strawberry one and Melon is normally a gorgeous scent so I picked up a 42wash for £3.00.
Our new home has a drying area out the back which gets the sun for quite a bit of the day. I have been taking full advantage of this when it has been hot. I have several washes on everyday and get them straight out for a good airing before putting them away. I do own an iron now but never feel the need to use it!
The bottle itself is quite pretty despite being green. The teardrop shape allows me to grasp it well but it is chunky compared to the flatter offerings from Lenor. All required information is there. I don't use the measuring cap and simply pour however much takes my fancy into the drawer..I am generous so get slightly less washes than recommended. I have used this with Surf Powder, Ariel Gel and Daz Liquidtabs and find it is most powerful with the Daz on a 30 wash.
The liquid itself is a lime green shade and flows freely from the bottle. The initial scent is strong as it is concentrated. It combines a light, fruity note with a subtle but noticeable floral backing. Once poured into my machine, it is never to be smelt again until my washing is finished.
Removing the clothes from the machine, a soft and rather flirty scent emerges. It isn't quite as strong as other conditioners I have used. My clothes smell fresh and clean. They are delicately scented with a slight honeydew melon aroma and I find the lotus flower scent drops back to almost nothing. The clothes when wet don't have an ultimate softness but things begin to change after a few hours out in the sun.
When I go out to bring my clothes in off the line, the softness is undeniable. I never experienced this from taking stuff to the laundrette in my old flat..the dryers didn't perform aswell as good old fresh air! Particular softness was evident in my towels which were fluffy and amazing to wrap round myself after a relaxing shower.
The honeydew scent had changed and became delightfully sweet. It became more like a watermelon scent, much fresher and a pleasure to smell. The scent and softness remained after putting my laundry away and my towel cupboard smelt amazing. Even when I wore my clothes, the smell was still there but not very strong and didn't interfere with any of my perfumes. My family have sensitive skin and the clothes are soft and perfect against our skin.
I have enjoyed using this fabric conditioner as it gives my laundry extra softness and the scent is light and fresh. It isn't my favourite as I love stronger and fruitier scents but this is far up my list!
Thanks for reading :)
I'm a sucker for all things smelly and beautiful, especially for when it comes to washing my clothes. I don't stick to one brand when it comes to comforters and washing powders etc I just go for the price first and then the smell. The other week in Wilkinsons I noticed they had the new range of Comfort Exhilirations Concentrate Fabric Conditioners priced at just £1 a bottle so I got sniffing.
The one I bought was in fact Comforts' Melon and Lotus Flower Lift.
This particular one comes in a green, flowery bottle, brightly coloured and extremely eyecatching on a shelf, even amongst all the other flowery, and brightly coloured boxes and bottles. The bottle can be clearly recognised as a Comfort product and the fact it is a fabric conditioner as it tells you on the front of the bottle, as well as informing us that this 750ml bottle provides 21 washes.
The green, screw off plastic cap on top acts as the measuring cap to pour the comforter into.
The comforter itself is a pale mint yet bright lime green in colour, work that one out lol, a thick, yet runny and smooth liquid which smells absolutely beautiful. It smells very floral at first, an awakening scent which soon mellows slightly to a citrusy, lemony fragrance which shocked me as it didn't smell bitter or tangy, it was in fact a sweet fruity scent, which mixed them both together and it is a very uplifting fragrance. However, although liking both the floral fragrance and the fruity melon smell they sort of clash, I find my nose struggles to really enjoy both the scents together. I picked up the flowery smell and I liked it, it's refreshing, I also picked up the melon seperately and was welcomed by this citrusy scent however the two together sort of clash, crash and burn together lol. However I'm not one to waste things unless I really dislike them and this wasn't totally horrible, just the smells together were not as appealing as other comforters you can buy.
Using it on my clothes, my clothes did come out feeling incredibly soft and clean. They had less creases in them after being pegged out and my iron just glided over them like a professional ice skater they were that smooth. But then I expected this from a Comfort product as I've been really impressed with the results from more of their products.
I'd reccomend Comfort fabric conditioners any day but this particular scent is not a winner for me, If someone offered it to me for free I wouldn't say no but it's not my favourite scent.
This is the last of my Comfort reviews and I thought Id get the last one done while all the information is still fresh in my mind - well that and the fact that I seem to be on a reviewing roll today. Im not going to write about why we bought this (check my previous review) as I dont want to be repetitive but the long story short is my mom bought all 3 scents home for us to try and for me to review. The only bad thing is with this review is that this scent is my least favourite out of the three, now that doesnt mean that it smells horrible at all I just didnt like the fragrance as much as the other two - the sort of let down out of the range.
This fabric conditioner comes in a vivid lime green 750ml bottle with a screw off cap. The directions of how to use and how much to use are all on the bottle along with ingredients and an address to write to should you have any problems with this product. When it comes to using this I tend to pour the liquid into the cap and then into the washing machine draw but I know some people pour it straight onto the clothes - I doubt it matters how you do it to be honest. The bottle states that you only need to use one capfull of this in each wash and I have to agree because I reckon that is more than enough because the scent is so strong. In fact in some cases I think half a cap is enough so one bottle will last you for ages as you dont need to use to much each time.
I think they got the mixture between the two scents just right here because you can smell them both equally however Im not to sure that the two fragrances compliment each other very well. I dont like the smell of melon anyway but in this is was very nice I just reckon that they could have found a better matching scent because the two kind of worked against each other in this case. The smell is quite nice overall but I think Im a bit picky and Im picking apart the fragrance when I should be appreciating it as a whole. I have to say though this smells way better on dry clothes as the scent does fade somewhat and then it becomes much nicer I think. Overall this is a decent scent but its my least favourite out of the range on the other hand though my mom liked this one the best so again I guess its down to personal taste but try n have a whiff in the shop - try before you buy!
The best thing about the smell is how long it lasts on your clothes and whatever else your washing. Ive washed my clothes with other conditioners before and as soon as the clothes are dry the scent fades but this isnt the case with this product. The scent lasts until the next wash on clothes and Im a smoker so usually any scent on my clothes doesnt last very long. I prefer the other two scents but I do recommend this in a way as I think if this is the first one you smelt you would love it. So half recommended.
A bottle of this will cost you around £3 from any supermarket but my mom tells me they are often on offer so it may be worth keeping an eye out for.

What is Comfort Exhilarations?
Comfort is the Uk's best selling fabric conditioner brand from the company Unileaver. Exhilarations is the newest range to its concentrated fabric conditioners. It had over £4 million thrown into clever marketing, advertising and eye catching packaging to target fragrance loving consumers, who are the biggest spenders in this sector.
I always buy this product on offer for £1 at leading supermarkets for a 750ml bottle which gives 21 washes. It seems to be on offer in one of the stores every other month so it's definitely worth keeping your eyes peeled. If not it will set you back between £1.60-£2.00.
The packaging has been Melon and Lotus flower kiss bottle is a vibrant green colour, with green screw top lid. It is splashed with vivid images of Lotus flowers and some blurred images of melons in the background. This is purposefully done to attract all those fragrance loving customers who will see the images and get connotations of refreshing melons and gentle lotus flowers and believe they will get a replication of this scent in the bottle. The rear of the bottle has instructions on how to use the product.
How to use
Simply follow the basic instructions; one cap is enough for a full load. Place in washer draw NOT with the washing and complete your washing as usual.
This comes in three scents; Blueberry & Jasmine Twist, Strawberry & Lily Kiss and Melon & Lotus Flower Lift. Each offer a perfect combination of fruit and floral fragrances designed to elevate your mood. Each liquid matches the colour of the fruit to further make you feel your are getting a full fruity and fragrant experience.
My opinion of Melon and Lotus Flower
I was wooed by the adverts and bought this product when I first saw it advertised on special offer for £1. I thought this was a good price, almost half of what I would pay for a fabric conditioner. I liked the bold packaging and matching coloured liquid, although being very girly, I was more attracted to the pink bottle. The scent was quite disappointing as I couldn't distinguish what the smell was. It wasn't very fruity or Melon-like, more like a a floral concoxtion which smells very synthetic. The smell was stronger on wet clothes but does seem to last for a good few hours. My clothes felt notably softer and smelt a little nicer than they do without it. I would recommend this range of products only in Strawberry and Lily kiss as it is my no 1 choice in fabric conditioners. The Melon and Lotus Flower scent is just not very nice to smell. I did use the full bottle rather than waste it as it does leave your clothes soft, however when in ran out I went back to using the Strawberry & Lily kiss scenty. Due to it being concentrated you use less, saving you more money and it uses 50% less packaging so it helps the environment too! | <urn:uuid:ab923813-9c39-4e2a-bf6b-8ea54cee871e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/household-products/comfort-concentrate-fabric-conditioner-exhilarations-melon-lotus-flower/ | 2017-11-20T00:38:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805881.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119234824-20171120014824-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.971689 | 5,155 | [

By DAVID JOLLY and MAIA DE LA BAUME, NEW YORK TIMES
PARIS - In a case being closely watched by women around the world, French health authorities on Friday recommended that the 30,000 women who received potentially defective breast implants made by a French company have the implants removed but said there was no evidence that the devices were likely to cause cancer.
The French health minister, Xavier Bertrand, and his deputy, Nora Berra, said in a statement that they were recommending that women have an "explant" procedure as a preventive, non-emergency measure even if there were no clinical indications that the implants had deteriorated.
Women whose implants remain intact and who choose not to undergo the removal, which is carried out under a general anesthetic, should have an ultrasound examination every six months, they said, and follow up on any sign of rupture or compromise of the implant with its removal.
Cancer risk not a factor
The Health Ministry said it was the consensus of French public health agencies, including the country's National Cancer Institute, "that there is no more risk of cancer associated with the PIP implants than with any other. Nonetheless, with these implants there are well-established risks from rupture and from the gel's potential to cause inflammation," making removal difficult.
More than 1,000 of the 30,000 French women who had implants made by a now-defunct company called Poly Implants Protheses, or PIP, have experienced ruptures or other problems. Prosecutors in Marseille, who have accused the company of fraud, say PIP used cheap industrial-grade silicone, a substance that was never approved for human use, to make the implants. The French Health Ministry said that the national health service would pay for removal of the implants, but that it would pay for new implants only in the case of reconstructive surgery for breast cancer.
None sold in U.S.
The case has received global attention because PIP exported hundreds of thousands of the implants - mainly to Western Europe and Latin America - before officials shut it down in March 2010.
The British Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency reaffirmed Friday in a statement that it was not recommending "routine removal" of the implants.
None of the PIP implants are thought to have been sold in the United States.
Breast implants have had a contentious history, with a 14-year moratorium in the United States on all silicone implants imposed until 2006, after years of lawsuits contending that they had caused cancer.

I’ve been raising two major concerns to my readers recently:
- Consumer wages are rising slower than inflation;
- Business incomes aren’t growing much and they continue to suffer from excess supply
Consumer Discretionary Spending Falling
Moneyball readers…Inflation is here.
We can see the impact of inflation as consumers shift away from discretionary items.
You likely have noticed the higher prices at the pump.
Gas prices are at a 2 year high – up 40% since last year. It happened so rapidly, the higher prices are squeezing out spending on other things.
The latest read on Retail Spending found that consumers cut back spending on simple pleasures in life like going out to eat (Gasoline spending: +$700 million, Food Services: – $700 million).
The inflation doesn’t stop there.
Since 70% of all goods in the US get shipped by trucks – which pass on higher fuel costs – virtually all goods are going to go up in price.
(Watch your consumer-oriented investments!)
The palpable shift in consumer spending means staying away from retail and food services stocks. Luxury goods companies will be particularly hard hit. One case in point, Signet (SIG) a major jewelry chain company. Signet missed sales badly which caused its stock to fall more than 3% the next day (Its stock is down more than 30% over the past 12 months).
Mixed news for the Stock Market
4Q Business Activity More Of A Blip Than A Shift To Greater Demand
If you’re a long-time Moneyball reader, you’ll know I exited the stock market a few months ago. I’ve missed this huge rally. But I was right in my assessment of the economy and the challenges ahead.
What I really missed was a massive price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple expansion.
Step back and you will realize one fundamental point going on in the stock markets: revenues are on a downward trend for most companies, but valuations are hitting new levels. Per Case Shiller, P/Es are:
- The highest in 17 years (since the 2000 dotcom boom);
- Have surged in the last few months
What’s going on is that companies are seeing rising earnings growth but falling revenue growth. The market is ignoring (for now) the issue of slowing/sluggish business growth and focusing on the fact that companies are squeezing out earnings growth.
You’ll see margin expansion during earnings coming up. But you’ll still see companies in wait-and-see mode.
Let’s run with the idea that the stock market is up because of better margins. How those margins materialized and whether they are sustainable are key questions. Because right now… stock prices are priced to perfection.
One reason for margin expansion is that throughout 2016 companies focused on expense management. Now comes the payoff. Any uptick in sales comes with even higher margins: companies aren’t spending or hiring more to get that business.
But wait, you may be thinking, “You just told us sales were slowing, so where’s the uptick in business?”
Imagine a drunk driver weaving down the road: they zig to the left, and then they course correct and zig to the right. But the overall direction doesn’t change.
That’s what happened in the fourth quarter (Q4), the one companies are reporting now.
There were signs companies had to restock inventory heading into Q4.
For example, semiconductor companies were reporting that their customers had inventories that were too lean.After the election, the coast was clear and companies had to start meeting pent-up demand. That restocking is apparent in the recently reported huge jump in inventories.
The main point: spending moved up AND supplier prices moved up. The lean inventory meant that the uptick in demand (the drunk driver swerving right) allowed suppliers to raise prices temporarily (or at least keep them from falling further).
That creates margin expansion for industrial companies. Additional gross margin expansion is also possible as many companies jump on the inflation bandwagon and try to boost prices regardless.
This is key for market sentiment because industrials lead earnings season and will tend to set the tone.
The stock market setup is as follows:
- EPS growth accelerates for industrial companies;
- The market pats itself on the back for correctly anticipating the EPS strength;
- The market extrapolates Q4 growth for all of 2017;
- The market extrapolates industrial margin expansion to all of the economy;
Everything hinges on whether or not the post-election activity was a mild blip or a complete re-boot and economic reflation.
Companies In Wait-And-See Mode
Economic sentiment turned positive post-election. (That’s a big understatement.)
But, as we’ve noted before, positive sentiment doesn’t always turn into positive spending.
Retail spending excluding Autos & Gas were flat in December.
Consumers are happy, but it doesn’t mean they are (and will) spending more.
Is the Q4 activity a shift in trajectory? No.
Overall, the story still remains the same: excess supply and mild demand. Companies have no incentive to increase capital expenditures, operating expenditures, or hiring. Any firming of prices will be possible only if demand continues to grow beyond short-term re-stocking.
There will be some impact on the margins because some companies will reconsider their plans for pre-emptive layoffs.
Coming into Q4 2016, companies were starting to consider layoffs in Q1 2017. Today, they have put those plans on pause.Companies want to see the optimism manifest as higher spending. And for a sustained period (3+ months).
But there’s a chance the rug will be pulled out from under the stock market.
The market is calling out reflation (an economy expanding) when all we’re seeing is oil inflation and some general restocking.
Right now, what’s good for industrials is bad for the economy because everyone gets hit with inflation. And as noted at the beginning, inflation is already driving down consumer spending and forcing a shift in the quality of spending.
More inflation will push that shift in consumer spending even more so. Higher prices may be good for suppliers, but it squeezes the margins of buyers.
KEY TAKEAWAY: Inflation is here thanks to massively higher fuel prices. That is squeezing companies and consumers alike.
In the short-term, companies have some benefits. They cut spending in order to maintain margins and we’re starting to see some margin expansion. But the market is extrapolating this situation as (1) a permanent change in the US economy and (2) affecting all companies equally well.
- Overweight industrials for this quarter. Still upside surprises. Consider companies that are less globally exposed and more domestic (that avoids the messiness of a stronger dollar).
- Underweight any retailer or consumer-oriented company, especially those that serve lower income households. Higher prices at the pump hit these households hardest and force them to spend less on clothing and TVs.

Is AMD readying a new round of processors for its AM4 platform? It certainly seems so, with Asus releasing a new BIOS update for its entire range of B350 and X370 motherboards that effectively confirms this. Asus released a series of BIOS updates for its full selection of AMD B350 and X370 chipset motherboards.
MSI debuted a new version of its Infinite series desktop PC featuring the latest Intel flagship 8th generation (Coffee Lake) processor. MSI’s Infinite X is a carbon copy of the original Infinite A in appearance, with an optional tempered glass side panel and an RGB front panel. A dual chamber chassis and Silent Storm Cooling 3 also make their return. However, unlike the Infinite A, the Infinite X sports a Z-series chipset motherboard, and the CPU can be overclocked.
AMD released a new version of its Radeon Software Crimson ReLive driver. The new Radeon Software Crimson ReLive Edition 17.11.2 offers support for the recently released EA title, Star Wars: Battlefront II. (Yes, Star Wars: Battelfront II, and all of the miscellaneous controversy therein.)
Muck Rack makes it simple to find people, tweets, or articles that mention any name, keyword, company, hashtag etc. We've compiled this guide to help you make the most of your search.
Selecting a term
Start searching tweets, articles from media outlets, articles mentioned in tweets, journalists'
names, titles and bios with some suggested searches:
Companies or Topics (e.g. iPhone, Microsoft)
Phrases (e.g. "cloud computing") — use quotes to keep the terms together
Twitter handles (e.g. @username) — returns those who have mentioned or replied to
Names (e.g. "David Pogue")
Hashtags (e.g. #sxsw, #london2012)
Bio details (e.g. vegan, Olympics, father)
Muck Rack's Advanced Search allows for many boolean operators.
Find results that mention multiple specified terms, use AND or
+. For example, ensure each result contains both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg by
searching Musk AND Zuckerberg or Musk + Zuckerberg.
Use the operators OR or , to broaden your search when you'd like either of
multiple terms to appear in results. (This is the default behavior of our search when no operators
are used). For example, results will contain either cake or cookie by searching cake OR cookie or cake,cookie
Use NOT or - to subtract results from your search. For
example, searching Disney will yield results about the Walt Disney Company as well as Walt Disney
World Resort. To exclude mentions of Disney World, search for Disney -World or Disney
When using one of these operators with a phrase, enclose it in quotation marks. For example, you can
find results about smartphones excluding Apple's iPhone 4S by searching smartphone -"iPhone
Exact case matching or punctuation
If you're searching for a brand name or keyword that relies on specific punctuation marks or capitalization, you can
find results that match your exact query by adding matchcase: before the keyword you're searching for, like matchcase:E*TRADE .
Use parentheses to separate multiple
boolean phrases. For example, to find journalists talking about having fun in Disney World or
Disneyland, search for ("disney world" OR disneyland) AND fun.
An asterisk can be used to search for any variation of a root word truncated by the asterisk. For example, searching for admin* will return results for administrator, administration, administer, administered, etc.
A near operator is an AND operator where you can control the distance between the words. You can vary the distance the near operation uses by adding a forward slash and number (between 0-99) such as strawberries NEAR/10 "whipped cream", which means the strawberries must exist within 10 words of "whipped cream". | <urn:uuid:5dea9c93-b628-4ea6-a445-3652de5db82e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://muckrack.com/derek-forrest | 2017-11-22T09:42:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806543.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122084446-20171122104446-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.841013 | 822 | [

Kevin Allen, a hockey writer for USA Today, tweeted that former Colorado Avalanche and Philadelphia Flyers great Peter Forsberg is practicing with his Swedish team, MODO, and has told Swedish press that he feels good and would like to play again.
Allen didn’t specify where Forsberg plans on playing, but it was reported in June that the Flyers offered Forsberg a contract in March, but he declined because of his fear that injuries would limit his ability to contribute.
Forsberg, a five time NHL All-Star and two time Stanley Cup champion, stands as one of the game’s elite playmaking forwards in league history. Foppa currently sits ninth all-time in career points per game (1.254) and fourth in career assists per game (0.901).
In his 13-year NHL career, Forsberg has scored 249 goals, 636 assists for 885 points in 706 regular season games with the Avalanche, Flyers and Nashville Predators. The 37-year-old performed even better in the playoffs, scoring 171 points in 151 career postseason games.
A former Hart Memorial Trophy winner, Forsberg will always be remembered as one of the most injury prone players in his era while also being considered one of the best of his time. Foppa developed several severe injuries, mainly to his feet and groin.
An interesting fact: Forsberg has missed an entire regular season and has played in less than 90 percent of regular season games in seven other seasons.
Forsberg only played in 23 games this past season due to his recurring foot injury while playing in the Swedish Elite League in which he scored 11 goals and 19 assists. While playing for Team Sweden in the Olympics, Forsberg registered on assist in four games.
If Forsberg wants to play in the NHL again, it’s easy to speculate on the teams he would be willing to go to—the Flyers and the Avalanche.
At this stage in his career, he would like to have another run at a championship, but at the same time, he’d rather go to a team he’s familiar with.
That begs the question, will the Orange ‘n’ Black be in the running for Forsberg should he want to play in the NHL?
I can only speculate that the Flyers will do whatever they can do to sign Forsberg if he decides to make another comeback because when do you have a chance to add one of the game’s all-time best players, albeit past his prime, to a team that lost in the Stanley Cup the previous campaign?
Forsberg hasn’t played in the NHL since the 2007-08 season when he suited up for nine regular season games with Colorado, where he registered one goal and 13 assists with a plus-seven rating—that’s 1.5 points per game.
With Foppa, it’s not a question whether he can still play; I think he can come in and help a team win, but it all depends if his feet can hold up through a span of an NHL season.
Forsberg has a congenital issue that causes the ligaments connecting his feet to his ankle to be too lax and loose. (Source ).
Given Philadelphia’s interest this past season, if Forsberg decides to attempt a comeback, the Flyers will almost certainly entertain the idea of bringing back Foppa for another Stanley Cup run.

Editors Note: This is the 4th in a series provided to us by Dave Scott of the National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT). To see all of the articles in the series, click here. Thanks to NCAT for sharing Dave with On Pasture’s readers. We’re sure you’d love to know that NCAT provides a wealth of information for farmers and ranchers on their website, and you can even call them the phone and talk to an expert!
I heard on the radio a while ago that old-time barn dancing is making a comeback. It made me think about the structured, moving dance between the two main “partners” in the grazing plan we’re creating for our irrigated pasture – pasture rest and the paddock grazing period.
But before we start calling out any “allemande lefts” or “do si dos,” we have to arrange the dance floor. We have one big field out there that needs to be divided into the many segments, or paddocks. But how many?
The Great Paddock Cipher
The pasture rest period and paddock grazing period work arm in arm to determine the number of paddocks the field must be divided up into. For the mathematicians out there, the formula is:
Number of paddocks = Pasture recovery period days + 1
Paddock grazing period days
For those of us who aren’t mathematically inclined, let’s think it through a bit. Say we have been listening in to all of the previous ramblings about the subject (to see all of the articles in the series, click here) and we are convinced (at least tentatively!) that giving the grass a full recovery period is the way to go. We opt for a 31-day rest period and hope to goodness this NCAT dude knows what he is talking about!
In an effort to hold on to some of our own sanity, we elect to move our livestock one day and to go fishing the next. That renders a two-day paddock grazing period. We do the math and figure that we are going to have to cut up that pasture into 15 hunks to graze over the course of our 31-day period.
But wait a minute! From way, way back, college calculus kicks in and we realize that we can’t be grazing the last paddock and resting the first at the same instant. (Anything mysterious is summed up in calculus, right?) Alright then, we’ll divide our field into 16 separate paddocks and call it good.
Here is where your experience comes into play. You know your fields better than anyone, and now you have to improvise. Divide your pasture into eight fields, not necessarily in space, but in time. The divisions will be approximately equivalent areas, but if there is a region that perennially produces less forage than the average acre, assign that field slightly more space.
Next, divide each of those eight fields into two paddocks. You want an equal distribution of 16 paddocks that all take the same time to graze: two days. Don’t worry if you are off by half a day or so – you can make adjustments as you go. This deal is flexible as long as your initial stocking rate is conservative.
Don’t Permanently Fence Me In
Hold on, though. Don’t go out and start building miles of permanent fencing to separate your paddocks! Temporary fencing is what makes intensive grazing possible. The only permanent fencing you really need is perimeter line fencing. In fact, one grazier I know said that he tore out all of his line fences because deer, elk, and moose kept trashing them so bad he figured it was easier to switch than fight. Line fences do have their advantages, however; it helps keep relations friendly when your out pasture is not your neighbor’s place!
Consider the Stocking Rate of the Field
Ah, stocking rate: perhaps no other topic has as many avenues that arrive at the same conclusion! There are those who venture out into a field, give it a close scan, and announce,” Yep, this field is good for 3,200 cow days. Divide ‘er up into 16 paddocks, rustle up 100 pairs and move ’em every two days, pardner. You’ll be fine.”
“But wait,” you say. “I’ve got 1,400 pound cows.” (Which in the common vernacular really means 1,500 pound cows, right?). “Well,” the cowman replies, “adjust, man, adjust.”
Sometimes it is nice to adjust from the start. Give yourself a break and figure the true weight of your cows, not what you wish they were. Once you have that weight, calculate what 3.25% of that weight is.
That amount is equal to the daily dry matter consumption of your average cow calf pair, all summer long, plus a little slack. If you are running yearlings, use 3% of their body weight as their dry matter consumption. Keep in mind that the stockers are gaining (hopefully 1.5 to 2.5 pounds per day) and that their weight and the associated dry matter intake need to be updated every two weeks. For yearlings, you either will have to market some heavies or find additional pasture in the midsummer if the grass cannot keep up. Sheep have to be handled a little bit differently. (If you want to talk about the differences, call me on the ATTRA help line at 1-800-346-9140 or email me using the “Ask an Ag Expert” feature on the ATTRA website at www.attra.ncat.org.)
How Fast Does the Grass Grow?
To complete the stocking rate calculation we also need to know the production level of the grass at different months of the grazing season. Here, in the Rocky Mountain West, we can generally figure 65 to 75 pounds of dry matter production per day if we are moving animals every other day. Naturally, as with everything else, it varies from valley to valley and ranch to ranch. If you figure a 120-day summer pasture season, that works out to 4.5 tons of dry matter production to the acre. Add another 2,000 pounds per acre of fall growth and the yield is 5.5 tons per acre. If you are transforming a hay field to pasture, you can convert to pounds of dry matter production per day easily. Almost always, you will equal or surpass hay production with two-day paddock grazing periods.
Now we can figure out our initial stocking rate. Here is the formula:
Stocking rate = Dry matter production rate x total acres
Dry matter Intake of Livestock
For an example of that calculation and for more information on stocking rate details, please see the ATTRA publication, Irrigated Pastures: Setting Up an Intensive Grazing System that Works on the ATTRA website.
Be Prepared and Keep A Weather Eye Out
Let’s go gather up the pairs and put them out there. Be conservative – it’s always easier to add cattle than to have to take them away. Just try sorting out 10 pairs in an open field! For first time intensive graziers, it’s a good idea to cut the turnout cows by 10 to 15%. This gives you some wiggle room, and it never hurts to leave some grass out there. It will virtually all get eaten eventually, and what does not will get trampled in. Trampled grass gives the soil microbes something to do and feeds your soil. Remember: we are not haying. We are grazing.
As with all things biological, and farming in particular, sometimes it doesn’t all go according to plan. We can thank Old Man Weather the most for that, especially in the spring when proper growing temperatures just are not there yet. Other times, your irrigation may go down for some reason. That’s OK, though. We just work in some “out” feeding to take care of the bumps in the trail. Outs can be in the form of either pastures that have been set aside or supplemental hay feeding.
It’s best to plan for about seven to 10 days of emergency feeding. If you find that you need significantly more than that, your stocking rate is too high for your pasture. Remember that it‘s your dance hall that frames the dance – outs are your tool for maintaining your pasture recovery period throughout the grazing season.
Calculate Where You Have Been
We can check that pasture rest period whenever we exit one of our eight fields and enter a new one. If you are running cow calf pairs, a real easy way to do this is to download Grazing Calculator: Extended Cow Calf Pair from the ATTRA website. It’s FREE!
Have yearlings or sheep? We are developing grazing calculators for them too. They should be up and running on the ATTRA web site soon.
These calculators keep track of grazing cycle days (pasture rest periods) and pasture production, both daily and cumulative. They really make you feel like you know just what you are doing out there – because you do! Keep tuned to On Pasture for a Youtube demonstration of the Cow Calf Grazing Calculator. For now, see the ATTRA website address above for guidance on how to use them. It’s simple!
Rewards are Right Before Your Eyes
While you are proudly admiring the sight of your cows on pasture, zoom in for a closer look. Make sure they have the correct amount of rumen fill and their eyes are bright and their ears are alert. Hear the plop? What’s it look like? Is it a nice paddy with the pond in the middle? While you have your eye on the ground, check out the life there. Any worms, beetles ,or bugs? Is there a layer of litter covering the soil? You bet. Life – that is pasture.
You Call the Dance
Well, you have done it. Your cows are out there now, making you money because they are costing you a lot less: much, much less than haying all summer and feeding all winter. The machinery middleman is out of the picture. Watching those cows grab grass makes you feel like you have taken control of your own destiny. It truly is a refreshing feeling. You have built the dance hall, called the dance, and the dance is yours.

- Fold in all the cookie dough ingredients except for the flour. Use a food processor or hand mixer
- Fold until smooth. About 20 seconds. Scrape bowl if needed
- Add flour 1 cup at a time and fold
- Stop immediately when mixed. This prevents a tough cookie
- Use a small ice cream scoop to drop cookies on sheet pan. Level each scoop so they are all equal size.

- GLAZE METHOD
- Combine all the ingredients for the glaze. Drizzle glaze by spoonfuls over warm cookies
Pumpkin cookie dough
Pumpkin cookie just out of the oven with powdered sugar dust and vanilla drizzle. I used melted chocolate to drizzle. This is delicious for a less sweet experience.
Hello... This is the dream cookie of the year. You won't believe how good this is with orange drizzle poured over the warm pumpkin cookie. You're welcome.
Mama G's How-To:
1. Remove the cookie by pulling the parchment paper away from cookie. Instead of lifting cookie from paper. You are welcome.
2. Use Gold Medal flour. Gold Medal has a lower gluten-forming protein. Perfect for cakes and cookies.
3. Scoop the batter with ice cream scoop. Take a butter knife and level each scoop off. This makes your cookies the exact weight to ensure perfect equal cooking.
4. Always preheat the oven for at least ½ hour with anything you are making. Oven will reach desired temperature but coils take longer.
5. Only use real pumpkin. I'm watching you.
6. Over mixing causes gluten proteins to be too tough.
7. When you make glaze you may need to adjust the liquid. Use the juice from the fresh orange. Never water. Too much liquid will make your cookie fall apart. You want it firm enough to pick up. Please cover entire cookie with glaze to enjoy the full colossal experience.
8. Serving suggestions. Add pecans to top of the cookie. Yes, please.
9. Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg into batter.
10. Add ½ c Ghirardelli chocolate chips to batter . You had me at chocolate...

It’s hard to believe that I started my real Arabic studies a little over a year ago. One year ago, I was counting days until my summer in Jordan. One year ago, I was feverishly reviewing conjugations and basic phrases. One year ago, I was trying hard to perfect my Arabic self-introduction.
When I came back from Jordan, I was worried about language loss. I thought that all the progress I made while abroad would quickly become undone. I didn’t anticipate the fact that I would not only retain everything I gained in Jordan, but would be able continue building upon this foundation.
Although it’s easy to say that I’ve learnt a lot, I wanted to make another video to showcase the past nine months of Arabic studies. Looking back on my earlier attempts at speaking Arabic, I notice that my accent has improved, my sentences are more advanced, and I feel more comfortable speaking the language. I’m still at the beginning of this long and winding road to fluency, but I want to use this as an opportunity to gauge my improvement.
Note: For subtitles, make sure to press CC when watching the video. Also, the subtitles make the content sound more simplistic than it actually is. 😀 | <urn:uuid:a889a48e-7490-4158-b75b-6847800ce0f0> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://shraddhajoshiblog.com/2018/06/01/video-one-year-of-learning-arabic/ | 2018-11-12T19:41:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741087.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20181112193627-20181112215627-00122.warc.gz | en | 0.963417 | 260 | [

A large number of illegal Vietnamese workers have found employment in Chinese factories thanks to a labor shortage and unintended side effects of the China's Labor Contract Law, a
newspaper said Friday.
The South China Morning Post quoted workers at a fan making factory in Guangdong's Foshan City as saying that the Vietnamese usually comprise 10 percent of its 1,000-strong workforce. They are part of a growing but illegal foreign labor force in the Pearl River Delta, mainly from Vietnam and other neighboring countries.
Guangdong police uncovered 13 cases involving the illegal hiring of foreign workers last year and deported 180 foreigners for not having work permits, Xinhua News Agency reported. In the first three months of this year, there were six cases and 154 people detained.
Yao Shibo, a trader with close links to delta factories, told the Post that the hiring of illegal foreign workers was an open secret and rampant in most delta cities, including Zhuhai, Dongguan, Yunfu, Foshan, Qingyuan, Shunde and Zhaoqing.
"Vietnamese laborers are favored by factory bosses because they look the same as Guangdong or Guangxi natives; they work overtime and demand lower salaries than their Chinese counterparts; and, most importantly, bosses can fire them at anytime without having to worry about China's labor laws," Yao said.
"I know many bosses, especially those from small furniture and processing plants, like hiring such 'black' workers. They mainly use them for assembly-line work, which is not technical and requires no particular skills. The wages are not that high, between 1,000 and 1,500 yuan (US$147-$220)."
The labor shortage has driven up Chinese workers' wages, with an inexperienced laborer from a rural area able to earn a basic salary of 1,400 yuan a month in a Dongguan factory.
Under the Labor Contract Law introduced in January 2008 to protect workers' rights - employers have to pay double for overtime work done pay after eight hours and triple for work done on statutory holidays. This can boost the monthly income to 1,800 yuan or more.
The law also requires workers to be paid the same salary, even during the off-season.
"They [illegal foreign workers] would be most welcome during the peak season to meet orders," Yao said. "Bosses can let them go anytime the orders are done or reduced.
"But if you want to fire Chinese workers in the low season, you have to pay them compensation.

So often, the whole "Celebrities, they're just like us" spiel rings hollow. But in the case of Tiffany Haddish, a.k.a. the breakout female star of 2018, there's some truth in it. If you or I had spent money on a bona fide designer dress—say, a $4000 Alexander McQueen—we'd want to get as much use as possible out of it. It just makes sense. Tiffany Haddish wore said Alexander McQueen dress at the Oscars this evening, because she is a smart woman who appreciates the value of things.
You remember this dress. It's the one Haddish wore back in November when she hosted SNL. "This a Alexander McQueen, okay? This a $4,000 dress. Imma wear this dress multiple times," she said during that appearance. "I feel like I should be able to wear what I want, when I want, as many times as I want as long as I Febrezed it." Us too.
Haddish had previously worn the dress on the Girls Trip red carpet. "My whole team, they told me, ‘Tiffany, you cannot wear that dress on SNL. You already wore it. It’s taboo to wear it twice,'" Haddish told Us Weekly. "I said, ‘I don’t give a dang about no taboo.’”
And tonight, at the 2018 Oscars, that beautiful white dress got its third major outing, as Haddish presented the Oscar for Best Documentary Short and Best Live Action Short alongside Maya Rudolph. This time, she paired it with Ugg slippers, so never let it be said that she's not switching up her look. | <urn:uuid:6a2e4547-19e8-4926-ba1f-90f46f206517> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/a19080559/oscars-2018-tiffany-haddish-alexander-mcqueen-dress/ | 2018-11-15T15:22:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742779.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115141220-20181115163220-00442.warc.gz | en | 0.978706 | 365 | [

30A Horse Farm at Arnett's Gulfside
Arnett's Gulfside Trail Rides is a 20 acre horse ranch offering trail rides, stables, events, parties, and campground sites adjoining Point Washington State Forest. Unplugging, breathing in fresh, pine-scented air and being surrounded by a sea of green is the perfect way to rejuvenate. It’s also a great way to learn about a part of our unique SoWal environment.
Most people visit South Walton for the beach. Who can blame them? It’s beautiful and relaxing in its own right. But inland lies our most precious and underrated resource, the Longleaf Pine ecosystem. It’s the 6th most biodiverse area in the continental U.S. and only two percent remains intact. Luckily for us, it's right in our own backyard.
Beginner, intermediate, and advanced riders alike find solace on the trails. The guides are not only expert equestrians, they’re also knowledgeable about the 15,000-acre forest the trails cut through. Trail bosses point out evidence of the tapping and logging efforts that whittled down the forest along the way. And they’re able to show riders where conservation efforts are taking place, ensuring the forest will remain intact for generations to come.
Arnett’s offers horseback riding lessons for both adults and kids on a regular basis, in both English and Western disciplines. Kids have another opportunity to unplug and experience our beautiful natural world during Arnett’s summer camps each June and July. Students participate in nature walks and rides through Pt. Washington State Forest, and they learn how to care for their gentle horses while learning valuable lifelong skills.
Brides-to-be will adore the Tack Room, a rustic event space that comfortably accommodates up to 150 guests, complete with a beautiful view of the grazing horses. The Tack Room is popular among brides and serves as the perfect backdrop for rustic-chic wedding. Arnett’s also has The Patio, a screened in pavilion for intimate events. Check our SoWal Live Music Calendar for updated live music events at Arnett's.
Campers with horses will love Arnett’s campsite, a 16 space RV park that backs up to Point Washington State Forest. The campsites have full hook ups, wireless internet, washers and dryers, restrooms and showers.
The campgrounds overlook the forest on two sides, as well as grazing horses and a tranquil pond. As a horse camper, you’re free to ride your horse at your leisure on the endless trails in the State Forest. Campers also have access to the covered pavilion, complete with a grill and a good old fashioned campfire.
Arnett’s Gulfside Trail Rides is situated on 20 acres flanked by Point Washington State Forest and Hwy. 393 in Santa Rosa Beach. For information about trail rides, lessons, parties, events, camping and all that Arnett’s has to offer, please call (850) 208-3114 or visit their website.

Austin haunted houses
Hailed as “one of America’s scariest haunted houses” by the Travel Channel, House of Torment is celebrating 15 years of delivering sheer terror. This year, their 40,000-square-foot attraction at 2632 Ridgepoint Drive includes a haunted manor, bloodcurdling penitentiary and nightmarish carnival. House of Torment takes scares seriously; they combine 200 skilled, costumed actors with advanced animatronics to create a truly spine-chilling experience. For the fearless folk, they offer a special “Blackout” event where you can walk through the attraction with only a glow stick to guide you. Depending on the day, tickets range from $19.99 to $32.99, and they also sell two skip-the-line options.
Scaring and caring go hand in hand at Scare for a Cure. This volunteer-run, interactive haunted adventure donates its profits to local cancer-related charities and organizations. Their theme this year is Return to Mutant Wasteland, and your ticket also gets you admission to their maze event, The Boneyard: Nightmare Wasteland. It all fittingly takes place at J. Lorraine Ghost Town, just a short drive from the city in Manor. Getting scared for a good cause will run you $20 to $40 depending on which weekend you go. Just make sure not to wear nice clothes or open-toed shoes—you may need to crawl or climb to escape and you just might find yourself covered in “blood” or slime by the end. You’ve been warned!
Situated on 20 acres of dense, isolated forest in Bastrop County (149 Split Rail Lane in Smithville), Scream Hollow consists of four horrifying haunts (Mansion of Terror Phantoms, Zombie City: The Factory, Slaughter Circus and Wicked Darkness: The Maze) across 18 different buildings. During a visit here, you should be prepared for a thrilling, highly interactive experience where you may have to work with your environment to find a way out. If you’re ready to really dial up the fear, come for their Pitch Dark attraction where every two patrons are given one glowstick to guide them through the complete darkness. Admission varies from $5 to $29 based on how many of the four haunts you want to brave.
On an average day, Pioneer Farms is a living history park and museum, but during Halloween season it turns into a terrifying time for all ages. This year, the Haunted Halloween theme is Finding Alice, and visitors are encouraged to embrace the madness by unraveling riddles, completing challenges and finding clues, all to solve Alice’s disappearance. Pioneer Farms makes it easy for the whole family to get in on the fun with three different levels of scares: G (more about amusement), PG (slightly spooky) and PG-13 (full of frights). Entry is $15 per person at the gate, or you can buy them online and like them on Facebook for express admission.
The Austin Zoo has been helping animals through rescue, rehabilitation and education efforts since 1990, and for almost that entire time they’ve been joining in on the Halloween festivities with their Boo at the Zoo event. Tickets are $17.50 each and will get you a pass on their haunted train and unlimited walks through their haunted house (which is actually their converted Peacock Barn). The event is friendly for all ages since they check in with each group beforehand about just how scary they want it to be and cue their staff inside accordingly.
Halloween haunts aren’t just for big organizations putting on mega productions. Karlen Alexander has been bringing scares straight to his neighborhood in Round Rock for about 15 years now. In fact, the number of visitors to Terror on Two Jacks (7410 Two Jacks Trail) has ranged from 500 to 1,200 per year. Alexander transforms his yard and garage into a place that plays on your phobias and gives you some great startle scares; this year, it’s all centered on the local legend of Hairy Man, a boy who was left behind in pioneer days and grew up in the wild. Entry is free but there’s an optional, suggested donation to benefit the Round Rock Area Serving Center. | <urn:uuid:babcab9c-ed71-4fbb-8021-e89bce330389> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.timeout.com/austin/things-to-do/best-haunted-houses-austin | 2018-11-16T22:51:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743216.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116214920-20181117000256-00022.warc.gz | en | 0.949651 | 879 | [

Easy Scrappy Patchwork Baby Quilt Tutorial
This baby quilt was made from both my scraps and my stash. I tried to use mostly low-volume prints and the background solid is Kona Snow (I've been using the leftover solid from this quilt but I actually think I prefer Kona Oyster now which I used in this one.) Note: The measurements are based on a scant 1/4" seam throughout.
1. Choose 16 different fabrics and cut strips measuring 3" x 18".
2. Sew together in groups of 4.
3. Cut into 6 - 3" strips. Keep the strips in individual piles.
4. Take one strip from each pile and make 5 blocks (you'll have one strip leftover in each pile - set those aside for now.) Trim to 10.5" square.
5. Fussy cut 4 novelty prints. You can use any size that makes sense for the print you are using but each fabric should be somewhere between 2.5" and 5" (square or rectangle.)
6. Your goal is to end up with a 10.5" square block with the solid fabric framing the print. Measure your print - for this example, let's say your print is 3" square and you want it off-center. Take a strip of solid fabric that is also 3" wide and sew a 2.5" piece to the top of the print and a 5.5" piece to the bottom. Since you are stitching together 3 pieces of fabric, you want it to measure 1" more than your finished size to account for the seam allowances where you stitch them together - basically you add 1/2" for every place where two fabrics are stitched together.
7. Next, you want to calculate what you need to add on either side to end up with a 10.5" block. Still using the 3" square print as an example, you would want to add a 10.5" x 5.25" piece on one side and a
10.5 x 2.5" piece to the other. Hope this makes sense (and that my math is right!) Trim block to 10.5" (your block might not need to be trimmed - mine usually do since I always use a bit more fabric to be sure that I don't end up with a too-small block.)
8. Arrange your blocks in the order shown below. Sew together in rows of 3 and then sew the 3 rows together. Take the leftover strips from step #4. Take one of the strips and unpick the seam so that you have only two squares remaining. Cut a piece of solid fabric 3" x 5.5" and sew it to the two squares. Choose two other strips and sew together one long line of squares and sew the strip to the top of the quilt as shown below. Use the remaining strips for the quilt back or save for another project.
9. Quilt it, bind it, and your done!

What's so easy about a few days of over 90 degree heat with no air conditioner?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
The blog posts have slowed down considerably and my working hours have increased in direct proportion. Given what I do...typing on the laptop is just not an option after reviewing and editing PowerPoints, Excel sheets and Word documents all day. Never mind the administrative work of calendar invites and e-mails.
No complaints about having a job, and one that is keeping me busy and challenged. I love that part of it. The part I don't like is the sheer exhaustion I feel and my inability to develop the blog.
After all, the Squeedunk gang has a lot to say.
For today, their main message is DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS OPPRESSIVE HEAT, so I think a visit to Home Depot is in order. I've asked for repairs on the Heating/AC unit in my living room since October; and in my bedroom since March. I've put an urgent plea in today. If it goes unanswered, then I will have to ladder up to the chain to the owner.
I personally love the weather, I just need some cool air flowing through my space.
In other news, the construction has commenced across the street from my building. My windows will overlook the scene, until the ugly complex is completed. So there's every chance I'll start looking to leave here anyway. Sad, but true. The 150 Bay chapter may be closing for me shortly.
But you've heard me say that before. | <urn:uuid:cdc0981d-10f0-4f71-a31e-eb603b840745> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.squeedunkcats.com/2013/06/easy-sunday-you-say.html | 2018-11-18T04:21:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.965009 | 320 | [

This is a repeat of last year’s decider which Dragons won in clinical fashion, but Bulls have grown in confidence and look a more composed outfit since their maiden season in 2015.
Both sides have tasted victory over each other in recent months; the Bulls prevailed in the pre-season cup back in October, but Dragons atoned in November, winning by 47 points in round two of the league.
If the Dragons can attain the same level of dominance around the middle, they will be hard to handle.
With Matt Burn, Dalton Tucker and Coby Reynolds pulling the strings from deep, they have the opportunity to unleash the significant qualities of Ryan Perkins in attack.
Dragons coach Rich Wharton is relishing the prospect of clinching back-to-back titles, telling Sport360: “We’re super excited and know that it’s going to be a very tough game.
“We know the Bulls want to get one back on us from last year, but we’ve trained and prepared well all season.”
“We’re getting lots of numbers down at training. In addition to that, we’ve had a positive attitude and are looking forward to a great hit-out in the final.”
This should be an enthralling, wide open game, with Andy Campbell’s Bulls sure to be resilient.
In many ways they have looked a more effective team since losing against their rivals in November, hammering Abu Dhabi Falcons and Doha Kangaroos by a staggering average of 106 points in their past two fixtures.
In Nathan Holly and talisman Rob Moffatt, Bulls have key men who pose a threat with and without the ball.
“We’re better prepared for this game and we’ve put a lot of work in the lead up to the final,” said Bulls captain Campbell. “Momentum has been lifting every since winning the pre-season cup and we probably got a bit complacent against the Dragons in round two when we lost.”
“There was a lot of fire in us after that defeat and we won our next two games. We want to carry our form into Friday.”
The competition, which began in 2010, is a nine-a-side format with Irish, international and local players involved with teams from across the Gulf.
It’s been a record year for gaelic games in the region with 72 teams competing across senior, intermediate and junior grades in both gaelic and hurling.
In the senior division, Dubai A are in control on 26 points, two points ahead of defending champions Abu Dhabi na Fianna A with Qatar a further two points adrift in third.
Dubai A will be bolstered by the presence of Aindreas Doyle, Eoin Reilly, Niall Healy and Tom King – key men who have been integral to the Celts’ success this season.
Abu Dhabi na Fianna, meanwhile, have excellent performers in Danny Curran and Rob Browne and should pose a threat against their rivals.
More excitement is expected in the intermediate division where Sharjah Gaels lead by two points ahead of Dubai C and Clann na hOman from Muscat.
Sharjah triumphed in two out of the three rounds, and opposition defences will need to be extra vigilant in order to marshal star men Neily Cunningham, Liam Harrington and Eoin Cantwell.
Elsewhere, in the junior section an impressive twelve teams lined out in the two rounds to date.
It’s a three round competition with Dubai’s Jumeirah Gaels claiming victory in Bahrain, and Sharjah Gaels B winning round two in Al Ain in January.
Sharjah, led by the immense Alan Naughton, top the section with Jumeirah Gaels just one point behind. Both teams are expected to make Friday’s decider with one team gaining promotion to next season’s intermediate division.
Meanwhile, in the ladies senior category, Abu Dhabi na Fianna – unbeaten in three years up until November – should contest the final against Dubai Celts.
In the intermediate section, Dubai Celts B are the team to beat. | <urn:uuid:4b07381e-dc67-4c52-97ae-909b146046c5> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://sport360.com/article/regional-article/168825/opening-day-of-annual-dubai-corporate-games-proves-to-be-big-success | 2018-11-18T03:34:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743963.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118031826-20181118053826-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.941623 | 1,136 | [

I received a call from Lamar regarding his lost 18 year safety ring from FedEx. Lamar said the ring was lost in his pond (tank) on his property in Madisonville, Texas
Lamar said, he had originally contacted Travis Batson from “The Ring Finders” College Station to come out and look for the ring. Lamar said, Travis searched for the lost ring in the pond for a little over two hours, it was determined that the ring was in deeper water.
Lamar said following that attempt, he directed Travis to an area near his home where he had lost his wedding ring a little over 5 years ago. Lamar said a short time later, Travis called him over and handed him his lost wedding ring. Lamar said he was amazed how deep the ring had settled into the ground, and Travis’ ability to find it.
Lamar said, Travis had recommended giving me a call for an underwater recover attempt.
I made the trip out to Lamar’s home in Madisonville, you can see from the smile, we had a good day!
Check out the video, I missed recording the actual recovery, but the end results are clear.

Lost Wedding Ring in Canyon Lake, Canyon Lake Texas (Recovered)
I received a lost ring referral from Don Wilson “The Ring Finders” in Dallas, Texas. The referral was for an underwater ring recovery in 9-12′ of water in Canyon Lake. Don’s email provided contact information from Dallas resident Adrian.
I contacted Adrian the following day and he advised while visiting Canyon Lake on the 4th of July he lost his wedding ring. Adrian said while swimming with his fiancé his ring had slip off his finger. Adrian was able to provide very descriptive information on where on how he had lost his ring.
Adrian and I agreed to meet in Canyon Lake on Monday 07/20/2015 to search for his missing ring. Not knowing the amount of time or work that might be involved in this recovery, I called Greg Delong “The Ring Finders” Austin, Texas and asked for his help on this search.
Greg agreed to help and plans were finalized for everyone to meet Monday morning at Canyon Lake. Greg and I arrived first and we conducted a quick assessment of the site. The water was calm, plenty of parking, low pedestrian traffic, and the weather was very promising.
Greg and I met Adrian a short time later at the lake and we were given a first had account how the ring had been lost. Adrian was very prepared to find his ring, swimming us out to the location on the lake where he had dropped his ring.
The reported water depth of somewhere between 9-12′ deep, just a little too deep for traditional water work with a metal detector. Greg and I assembled the submersible search grid and it was floated out to the search location and submerged.
Adrian gave a thumbs up, stating that’s the spot as the platform was submerged. Adrian had done a great job at identifying the location of where he had dropped his ring, ultimately the factor in its recovery.
As I dove down to start the search for his ring, I turned on the Excalibur, set the threshold and began my search on the outer edge of the grid. (I traditional like working the outside edge first and then move inward) I was on my second swing, when I hit a solid signal, looked down through the muck and saw Adrian’s ring. I couldn’t believe it!
I worked the bottom for a few additional minutes, trying out my new OTS guardian full face mask and regulator, really top notch gear, and a must for dirty water.
The pictures and video tell the rest of the story.

Why Georgia's HOPE scholarship is running out of money –February 18 2005
In the mid 1980's, Georgia started a statewide lottery, the proceeds of which were to guarantee a college education to every Georgian who wanted one. It was not means tested…In 1993, when we sold our business in Appalachia, one of the primary considerations that kept us in Georgia was the availability of the HOPE scholarship for our kids…Then, in the mid 1990's, politicians in Georgia began pressing for inclusion of those who couldn't claim resident status in the program. Why? Because the big poultry companies, like Fieldale, Purdue, Gold Kist and others wanted the kids of illegal immigrants to be eligible…Unfortunately, the money from the lottery wasn't enough to cover this big new influx of ‘students’…next the plan is to ‘means test’ which means if you are middle class, you are out. So the money that should have paid for my kids college will now go to pay for illegals kidsI have no insurance, and I pay. Illegals have none, the state pays with my tax dollars – February 18 2005-02-18
When I was injured and in the hospital, a lady working there told me that the hospital passed on the costs of treating illegal immigrants to local people. If the person had insurance, then the insurance got stuck. If they didn't, then they just had to pay on a weekly basis. The hospital knew who the locals were and where they lived, and they never saw or heard of the illegals again once they left the hospital.Reading these and the two other stories Gilgamesh posts I am struck by a pair of thoughts:
(a) The savagery of the redistribution burden of immigration—from working Americans, to the owners of capital and, of course, the immigrants.
(b) While America has thinking men like this, all is not lost.
[PermaLink] [Top] [Blog Home] Wall Street Journal Party [James Fulford] - 02/19/05
The WSJ is mostly subscription only, but their OpinionJournal webzine seems to always feature their most vicious and stupid pro-illegal immigration editorials.(The countervailing facts of the matter, from the news side, are kept safely behind the subscriber wall.)
Their latest shovelful of opinion, delivered to subscribers on the 17th, was posted today. The WSJ comes out strongly for States Rights (Not!): bullet So last week's House vote to require costly and intrusive federal standards for state drivers licenses is a measure of how far the [Republican] party has strayed from these federalist principles. National ID Party | Republicans betray their federalist principles again, February 19, 2005
Wrong. The whole point of driver's licenses for illegal aliens is that it's a way for the state governments to aid and abet illegal immigration. State governments have no right to help illegal immigrants gain entry to the entire country, any more than they'd have the right to side with Mexico in an actual war.
Other false claims: bullet "all of the hijackers entered the U.S. legally, which means they qualified for drivers licenses."
No, they came on tourist visas, obtained by fraud, which they overstayed, because of lack of exit tracking. Other Arab terrorists have legalized themselves during by falsely claiming to be agricultural workers.
And finally, (self-refuting, just click on the links:
Homeland security is about taking useful steps to prevent another attack. It's not about keeping gainfully employed Mexican illegals from driving to work, or cracking down on the imagined hordes gaming our asylum system.
Wrong again. They're acting on the assumption that no illegal immigrant would ever kill anyone; and they will continue to ignore or mock evidence to the contrary. | <urn:uuid:13a69e54-8ec1-4f1a-b9ca-681fde07b278> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://vdare.com/posts/gilgamesh-on-immigration | 2018-11-19T10:10:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745522.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119084944-20181119110944-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.965882 | 790 | [

It’s a clever concept; take what Queen did at Live Aid in 1985 – produce 20 minutes of distilled brilliance from your back catalogue – and then apply that concept to other bands.
What would be your dream 20 minutes of your favourite band? The hits maybe. But which hits? Album tracks? Live favourites? So many choices.
Well, I’ll be posting some of my fantasy twenty minute sets from my favourite bands over the next few blog posts. I’ll be explaining my choices.
Let me know if you agree with them.
In no particular order, I’ll be writing set lists for :-
So far, so obvious...

ROSS TOWNSHIP (KDKA) – Police are investigating after a woman claims an Uber driver attempted to sexually assault her.
According to Ross Township police, the incident was reported around 8:45 p.m. Tuesday.
“There was contact that was unwanted,” Ross Township Police Det. Brian Kohlhepp said. “It was physical contact; however, it was very limited.”
The victim claims she called for an Uber to take her to the Barrel Junction Bar on Route 8 in Shaler Township. The female got into the front seat of the vehicle, but the driver stopped before the destination.
At that time, the driver allegedly started making unwanted sexual advances on the female. The victim was able to push the driver off of her.
“They reported that during the ride, there was some unwanted sexual advances that were made by the driver. The victim reported that she did request an Uber ride and was on the way when the driver pulled off the road and started to make some advances,” Det. Kohlhepp said. “She was able to push him off, and he then continued on with the ride.”
The driver took her to her destination, where she called police. She was not hurt in the incident.
KDKA’s Brenda Waters: “Why did she stay in the car? Wasn’t she afraid to continue on with this guy?”
Det. Kohlhepp: “That’s information that we’re working with the victim in trying to determine.”
Police are currently working with Uber to obtain driver information in order to obtain a warrant.
“The information we’re requesting has legal concerns. There’s some protected information. They’re requiring us to get a search warrant, but that’s common with this. I wouldn’t say that they’re not being cooperative because that’s typical protocol,” Det. Kohlhepp said.
Police are not expecting to obtain the warrant before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson from Uber says that driver has been banned pending the investigation. | <urn:uuid:0060b3b2-001f-4eb5-a6b2-c608a2e66492> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/11/23/police-woman-fights-off-uber-drivers-sexual-advances/ | 2018-11-13T00:44:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741176.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113000225-20181113021702-00020.warc.gz | en | 0.984782 | 459 | [

Thought for the day:
“Poo cannot dance because it does not have feet. Wee does not have feet either. But, a train poo goes along the track. Interesting.”
Taken from A Postmodern Manifesto – The Collected Works of Devilboy – abridged version.
Genius really. Move over Heidegger, there’s a new philosopher in town.
”Mama, I don’t like Wiggle Bix, can I have Corn Flames for breakfast?”
Sure honey, once I work out what in the name of fuck a Wiggle Bix actually is and find time to call Kellogs to ask when and where they plan on launching their first chilli flavoured breakfast cereal.
Alternately, you could eat some toast.
Dad of Devilboy: “Did you have fun with mummy today?”
Devilboy: “Actually, we killed Zombies with lasers.”

Jeremy Piven, best known for his role in the HBO series “Entourage,” is rising in the ranks of Hollywood’s alleged serial abusers. A fifth woman has now come forward with her own horror story about the actor’s alleged sexual misconduct.
Anastasia Taneie said Piven cornered her in a darkened corridor and groped her breasts and genitals while she was working as a background actress on Entourage in 2009.
“I was scared at the time nobody was going to believe me. I didn’t want to make a scene. I just wanted to go home,” she told pop culture Web site BuzzFeed.
“It was the most horrible thing I’ve ever experienced.”
At the time, Taneie was 23 and Piven was 44, a 21-year age difference.
Piven, now 52, has denied all accusations. He claims he passed a lie detector test earlier this month, proving his innocence.
Such tests, however, are unreliable and can’t be used as evidence in legal procedings.
“Let me be absolutely clear, this simply did not happen. I would never force myself on a woman. I cannot speak as to why a person would create a story like this,” he said at the time.
The four other women include actress Ariane Bellamar, 39, who appeared “Entourage,” “Love Hollywood Style,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Suicide Squad” and other films.
Bellamar, a former Playboy playmate, said Piven cornered her and forcefully fondled her breasts and buttocks on two occasions, once at the mansion and once on set.
She also said Piven sent her “abusive, explicit” texts.
Araceli Giacoman, another background actor on the show, confirmed at least part of Bellamar’s claims. He told BuzzFeed he saw her and Piven together heading for a dark are of the set.
She added that Taneie looked “a little distraught” and “shaken” when she returned.
Andy Lobo, also a set extra, said Bellamar told him about the assault when it happened. Her mother also confirmed her account.
After she rebuffed his advances, she said Piven had the audacity to claim she came on to him and asked to have her removed from the set.
Tiffany Bacon Scourby, an advertising executive, told People she decided to come forward after Bellamar accused Piven of sexual assault on Oct. 30.
Scourby and another accuser, Longmire actress Cassidy Freeman. told similar stories.
Piven is already facing repercussions. A pre-taped appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” was pulled following reports of the incidents.
The actor is currently starring in CBS series Wisdom of the Crowd. The network says it is investigating the allegations.
The sex scandal has been sweeping through Hollywood since movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, 65, was accused in a New York Times expose last month of groping, assaulting or harassing eight women, including actress Ashley Judd.
Cara Delevingne, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie have also come forward with accounts of their own encounters.
Weinstein says all his interactions were consensual, although he is seeking counseling.
Director Brett Ratner has been accused of harassment or sexual misconduct by six women. Director James Toback has also been hit with multiple allegations. | <urn:uuid:a9ff5e29-74e7-4337-a001-276c74087cfb> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.theimproper.com/151523/jeremy-piven-rising-among-hollywood-serial-abusers-now-five-acusers/ | 2018-11-15T19:16:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742906.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115182450-20181115204450-00322.warc.gz | en | 0.979626 | 741 | [

I am always quite late to feature films, since I refuse to pay $15 to watch 20 minutes worth of ads, and then (all too often) deal with annoying people during the film, often missing important dialog. So I wait until most films are on cable before I see them.
It is for this reason that I have only just seen Star Trek into Darkness. [N.B. I actually avoided the new Star Trek franchise entirely because I am an original Trekker (not Trekkie!), and could not imagine a reboot being any good. I ended up being charmed by the first film -- against my will.] And anyone who is familiar with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (and the "Space Seed" episode of the original television series) will realize that Star Trek into Darkness hopelessly destroys the Star Trek timeline. [Note that if you have not yet seen Star Trek into Darkness, this article is one huge spoiler.]
We are here introduced to Khan Noonian Singh, a "product of 20th century genetic engineering" – even before the "Space Seed" episode; he is a much younger version of the one played (brilliantly) by Ricardo Montalban in that episode and in Star Trek II. Khan tells us that he and his crew had been locked in suspended animation for "300 years" before he alone was awoken. Khan wreaks havoc (as Khan is wont to do), and is eventually put back into suspended animation by Spock & Co. In the meantime, Captain Kirk is fatally irradiated when he fixes the warp core, but is miraculously brought back to life after Dr. McCoy creates a regenerative "cure" from Khan's "superblood."
If we had not met Khan in the original television series and one of the original films, Star Trek into Darkness would be even more excellent than it is. (And it is excellent.) However, by introducing him this early in the life of the Enterprise crew – and particularly by having Kirk brought back to life by Khan's own blood (or at least a serum derived from it) – the rest of the Star Trek franchise story is thrown into disarray.
After all, assuming all the events of Star Trek into Darkness, why don't Kirk and the rest of the senior crew recognize Khan (or even his name) when he appears in the "Space Seed" episode? And why does Khan not recognize them? After all, they met before, and Kirk is only alive because of Khan. As well, in "Space Seed," Khan spends time "catching up" on 300 years of Earth history, including Starfleet (which is why, in Star Trek II, he recognizes Chekov, even though Chekov did not appear in "Space Seed"), so why would he have to do so twice?
As well, given Kirk's repair of the warp core, his death by radiation, and his revival, why did no one see the similarities when Spock does the exact same thing in Star Trek II? (Indeed, some of the dialog is the same in both films.)
I might also add that, in the new films, Spock and Uhura are romantically involved. (At least, as romantically as Spock is ever likely to be.) Given this, why do neither of them seem to even be aware of having had any such relationship when we meet them in the original television series? Even if they had broken off their relationship by then, one would still expect to see "vestiges" of it.
Ultimately, Star Trek into Darkness could not…logically precede either the television series (which takes place about 10-15 years later) or the original film series (which takes place about 20 years later).
What to do? If director J.J. Abrams has any interest in "correcting" the timeline, it is actually still possible to do so – by writing it in to the next film. And I have the germ of an idea how to do that – which I will share even if Abrams steals it and gives me neither credit nor the millions I would otherwise receive.
At the end of Star Trek into Darkness, Khan is back in stasis with his crew in an undisclosed location, and the Enterprise is just beginning its five-year mission. What follows is a very sketchy outline of a plot that would "re-adjust" the timeline such that it would make sense that neither Kirk and his crew nor Khan would remember each other when they meet 10-15 years later in "space Seed."
Somehow, Khan's cryotube malfunctions, allowing him to re-awaken. Furious at Kirk, Spock et al for his capture, he awakens the remainder of his crew, commandeers a ship, and goes after the Enterprise.
Perhaps in the middle of a first space battle, an unknown and powerful alien race appears. This race subjugates all other races by erasing their memories, and turning them into slaves. It is explained (in some fashion) that this memory-erasing process works backward: i.e., a being's most recent memories are erased first, and the process moves back in time. It is also explained that this process takes a little time; in the meantime, the beings are somehow restrained (perhaps via mind control, or drugs, or whatever).
The process begins on both ships (i.e., the Enterprise and the ship commandeered by Khan and his crew), and we see (via cloudy imagery) the memories of the two crews being erased. This would allow Abrams to erase only back to the point that the Enterprise and Khan met, thus re-instating a proper timeline such that relationships among the Enterprise crew would remain intact, while the meeting in "Space Seed" would be "new" to all parties. [N.B. The memories of Spock and Uhura would have to be erased a bit further back if we want to eliminate their relationship entirely.]
The remainder of the film would have to include some sort of agreement between the Enterprise and the commandeered ship to jointly go after the alien craft ("the enemy of my enemy is my friend"); perhaps the viewscreens on both ships were damaged in the initial battle, so that they can no longer see each other, and thus would not recognize each other later. In destroying the alien ship, some sort of massive energy force is released that sends the Enterprise and the commandeered ship in opposite directions (through different wormholes?) such that there would be no way for them to find or communicate with each other. Perhaps the end of the film could show each ship in a separate (new) battle of some sort, and thus too "engaged" to be thinking of the other.
I admitted that it's sketchy, but something of this nature would fulfill many positives for Abrams & Co. It would: allow the return of Khan (ranked #10 Greatest Screen Villain according to the Online Film Critics Society), this time with his entire "superhuman" crew; allow for a "correction" of the internal timeline; provide ample opportunity for space battles and other intrigues; and allow for an ending that would provide a…logical explanation of why the two crews do not meet again for 10-15 years, and why they do not recognize each other when they do meet.

Who won't get out of the water, and who only wants to pose in a swimsuit?
During the trip: Aries is getting nervous because of not traveling faster, Virgo because of the crumbs that appeared after Scorpio secretly ate a sandwich. Sagittarius put his sunglasses off, took flip-flops off and propped his bare feet on the seat in front of him which made Cancer cry. Gemini has already changed few statuses on Facebook: 'We are about to leave’, ‘We are leaving', 'We are traveling', 'Scorpio's eating, cancer's crying, Aries is getting o my nerves'...
Libra is taking care not to crease his clothes and kindly asks Taurus to move away from chocolate bar and juice, s/he don't want his/hers shorts to get stained. Leo is waving all the way long; because s/he is sure that everyone is watching him. Capricorn is counting how much money they can spend on a daily basis while Aquarius is putting on a diving mask. Pisces is sleeping.
"Thank God, we arrived", Gemini writes a new Facebook status. Aquarius likes. Aries is already in the sea. Scorpio has occupied the bathroom, which is why Libra is complaining in front because he has to change his clothes and fix his hair. Virgo suffers a nervous breakdown since the apartment is in a complete mess and nobody even unpacked yet. Sagittarius went sight-seeing, Taurus to get some fish for dinner. Cancer is making soup for everybody.
Capricorn is counting money again and bargain with the landlord. Leo is on the balcony, posing. Pisces has just waked up and is thinking about the meaning of life.
"Hurrah, we're at the beach", Gemini uploads a photo on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter on which: Virgo is under an enormous hat, holding a sun protection cream SPF 50 in one hand, Cancer is wrapped up in a cartoon characters towel, Libra poses in a swimsuit the value of a used car.
Leos shows his perfect figure, Pisces can't be seen from his oversized camera, Sagittarius makes funny face, Scorpio turned his back and forbade Gemini to tag him, Aquarius has a diving mask and fins on, Capricorn has 3 books under his arm, Taurus is eating an ice-cream, Aries is not in the photo, and he swam 200 yards away.
"Party Night," Gemini tweets but doesn't upload the photo, since all, apart from Virgo, got sunburns. Taurus turned on the grill while Leo claims he can do it better. Scorpio invited whole neighborhood to the party; Scorpio doesn't like that, and he frowns in a corner. Cancer provides plates for everyone and offers fruit.
Libra is in his best suit asking Pisces to take pictures of him in every pose possible. Aquarius proposes that everybody take diving or underwater fishing course. Capricorn counts whether it's worth it. Aries went for a night swim. | <urn:uuid:deb926f9-5760-4de4-a579-4a8efdb9e812> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://horoscope-daily-free.net/node/162 | 2018-11-17T00:13:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743247.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116235534-20181117021534-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.977681 | 642 | [

Test programs for large batteries used in electric vehicles.
Competing in the global market requires manufacturers to determine early in the development cycle which energy distribution systems, voltages and safety concepts will best meet all of their customers’ needs. UL’s extensive safety science experience eases EV battery development processes for OEMs and battery manufacturers.
New Requirements for Large Batteries
Battery technologies currently under development are likely to introduce the need for consumers and EV stakeholders to be informed about personal protection, handling electrical grid voltage under the hood, and fire suppression. The industry continues to develop best practice guidance regarding the safest ways to recharge (or swap) these batteries at home or at public quick charging stations.
To address the key industry challenges, we have introduced new testing and certification programs for large batteries:
- Batteries for Use In Electric Vehicles – UL 2580
- Batteries for Use In Light Electric Vehicle (LEV) Applications – UL 2271
- Road vehicles – Functional safety – ISO 26262
These tests evaluate the ability to safely withstand simulated abuse conditions based upon the manufacturer’s specified charge and discharge parameters. The standards were designed jointly with key stakeholders in the EV community to help mitigate the risk of fire and electrical hazards and to enhance the overall safety of batteries for EVs. | <urn:uuid:159b17f4-5ca3-460f-987a-b98cc6438880> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://industries.ul.com/energy/e-mobility/electric-vehicle-batteries | 2018-11-17T01:02:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743247.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116235534-20181117021534-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.909474 | 264 | [

Overview of Ancient Greek Cuisine
Comments Off on Overview of Ancient Greek Cuisine
Greek cuisine is known for being both simple and tasty. Greek people are masters at creating simple and delicious dishes using fresh, local ingredients and this is a tradition that began in Ancient Greece. Food historians agree that Ancient Greek Cuisine is something that influenced culinary traditions throughout the world.
In order to understand Greek food of today, it helps to learn about its ancient roots. Much of what we know about food from Ancient Greece is derived from literature, art, and recovered artifacts.
The Olive Tree
Olive trees were important crops in Ancient Greece. According to legend, the goddess Athena gave Athens olive trees as a gift. In fact, Athena’s gift was selected by the people of Athens as being the best over Poseidon’s gift, which was the gift of water. Once her gift was chosen, Athena became the Patron Goddess of the city of Athens, according to the legends.
This shows how important olives were to the people of Ancient Greece. They ate the olives and also pressed the olives to make olive oil. Olive oil became highly prized and was traded to other countries. It was so important to the economy in Ancient Greece that people referred to it as “liquid gold”.
Wine was also another important part, the Ancient Greek table. There’s evidence that the Greeks were producing red, rose, and white wines – the same basic types of wines that are produced today. Back then, the people usually mixed wine with water to produce a thinner drink to accompany meals. They not only drank it as a beverage, but also used wine for medicine.
Wine has been produced in Greece since around 4500 B.C. At the time, the Greeks loved wine so much, they even worshipped Dionysius, who was the god of wine. The wine culture established by the Ancient Greeks has heavily influenced our wine culture of today.
Meals in Ancient Greece
The Ancient Greeks followed the same meal schedule as we do today. Generally, they ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an occasional snack. Pancakes, or tiganithes, were a popular breakfast and were made from wheat or barley flour, curdled milk, and olive. Lunch often consisted of cheese, fruits and vegetables, eggs, or fish. Dinner was more elaborate and included things like meat, breads, vegetables, fruits, and occasionally sweets following the meal.
The Greeks worshipped a goddess named Hestia, who was concerned to be the goddess of the hearth. As part of their regular mealtime practice, the Ancient Greeks would reserve a portion of their meals as a gift to Hestia.
Eating at Home
Ancient Greece was a patriarchal society and this was reflected in how the meals were served. Men and women didn’t even eat together and often, men were given best food. In fact, the men actually ate first and the women needed to wait until the men were finished. Much like we do today, the Ancient Greeks took their meals while sitting on chairs at the table. Household slaves also ate separately from the rest of the family. This segregation at mealtime is a reflection of the social order of the day.
Ancient Greek Entertaining
The people of Ancient Greece entertained frequently. Food choices for these parties were more elaborate than regular, daily eating. Though it was pretty common for the Ancient Greeks to eat meals with friends and family, they also had two unique types of parties.
The first is the “symposium” which was designated only for men. Following a meal, the men would sit and drink. The second type is the “libation”, an elaborate banquet that honored Dionysius and also involved drinking larger quantities of wine.
Though Greek cuisine looks fairly different today, there are some things Ancient Greek food shared with the cuisine of Modern Greece. They both embraced fresh, local ingredients and the foods themselves are still very similar. What differs are some of the recipes and the rituals and customs that surround mealtimes.

Swede victory for the 2014 Volvo V40?
2014 Volvo V40 Review
With the 2014 Volvo V40, Volvo has got its sights firmly fixed on those motorists looking for car lease deals on a nicely sized premium hatchback. If you’ve done your homework on this class, you’ll no doubt have cast your eyes over the likes of the Audi A3 – and perhaps even the BMW 1 Series.
So what does the 2014 Volvo V40 bring to the table? Volvo’s offering happens to measure up very well against those big German names. A combination of four things makes the 2014 Volvo V40 worthy of serious consideration: a premium quality build; a pleasing driving experience, excellent safety features and sensible running costs. If you’re interested in car leasing deals on a quality family hatch, the Volvo V40 is definitely worth a test drive.
Attractive and practical design
Think ‘Volvo’ and a rather boxy looking estate might spring to mind. At least, that’s what used to be the case. In fact, with its low bonnet line, it has the kind of sleek coupe-type looks to rival and perhaps even surpass those of the Audi A3 or BMW 1 Series.
The design of the interior is just as impressive. The tradition evoked by Volvo is one of a combination of safety and comfort. Taking this into account, it comes as no surprise that the 2014 Volvo V40 features incredibly comfortable accommodation both at the front and at the rear – where there’s plenty of room for two adults to travel in style (the middle seat’s fine for children but a grown-up might struggle on long journeys). If you’re the driver, comfort in Volvo’s eyes means giving you access to a truly intuitive infotainment system. Unlike with some other manufacturers’ systems that sometimes come across as rather halfhearted, Volvo’s offering in the 2014 Volvo V40 is comprehensive; enabling you to control more or less everything (including phone, sat nav, audio and alerts) easily and with the minimum of distraction.
You get a pretty respectable 335 litres of boot space and this can be extended to 1,032 litres with the rear seats folded down.
A pleasing driving experience
The engine range starts with a four-cylinder 115 bhp 1.6-litre diesel (the D2). This will get you from rest to 60 in 11.7 seconds with a top speed of 118 mph. This will prove to be perfectly adequate for most family users. Frequent motorway drivers or those motorists in the market for something with a little more get up and go are probably going to be more interested in the 150 bhp D3 or the 177 bhp D4 2-litre diesels. For those for whom only a petrol model will do, there’s a choice between two 1.6-litre units or else the flagship 254 bhp T5 variant: capable of 155 mph. Whichever version you opt for, you can be sure of superb handling, plenty of control (thanks in no small part to a three-mode power steering system as standard). That comfortable cabin also guarantees a smooth ride.
If you want absolute reassurance for the safety of you and your family, the 2014 Volvo V40 is sure to impress. In fact, it’s probably ‘best in class’ when it comes to overall safety. Probably the most innovative feature is an airbag positioned actually under the bonnet to provide protection to a pedestrian in the event of an impact. There are, of course, front and side airbags, a knee airbag for the driver, a roll-over protection system, a dynamic stability and traction control system, stability assist and engine drag control systems – and even a system to help minimise the risk of whiplash injuries in the event of a collision.
Sensible running costs
The figures for the V40 are certainly impressive. By way of example, the entry level and extremely popular D2 diesel delivers an incredible 78.5 mpg. This also keeps emissions down to 94g/km of CO2 which means if you’re looking at car lease deals on it, you won’t have to pay road tax or the London congestion charge. Even the 150 bhp D3 manages a highly respectable 65.7 mpg on the combined cycle.
The final word
Are the safety features on the 2014 Volvo V40 enough for it to leapfrog the likes of Mercedes, BMW and Audi on your wish list? Let us know what you think…leave us a message on our contact form 01903 538835 now and find out about our Volvo leasing deals today!

Some reminders that the world we live in ain’t so bad after all - there are free e-fortune cookies and a website to help you write better, among other must-clicks on the WWW.
Behind The Mask
This actor has played big roles in Fantastic Four, Batman Returns, and this year’s Best Picture winner at the Oscars, The Shape of Water. But if you meet him on the streets, you’ll never recognise him. Doug Jones, who played the Amphibian Man in Guillermo del Toro’s Best Picture masterpiece, is an American actor who often wears heavy make-up to play fantastical characters. Find out what it takes to go from human to superhuman in this mini-docu. It’s definitely no walk in the park.
Retail giant Walmart tapped on an all-female team of directors to film their new series of ads, each based on a true story. One of them was funnywoman Melissa McCarthy. Her short film features an overweight woman who steps into a Walmart box/portal and goes back in time to empower her younger self, who later pays it forward. Now, where do we get that box?
Car maker Subaru’s new ad shows viewers a new way of seeing with the truly blind leading the figuratively blind. The story opens with a young couple inquiring about the location of a remote trail. To their surprise, a blind man offers to take them there and proceeds to teach them to see without seeing. It’s all rather inspiring, even more so when you realise that the guide in the ad is really blind and that he actually does take sighted people out on trails.
Dead Man’s Curve
This Audi ad opens with a man on his deathbed surrounded by his loved ones. Flashback scenes show a life well lived. “I’ve squeezed every drop of juice out of this life,” he concludes. “I’m ready for the next one.” Just as he flatlines, an Audi RS 5 Coupe roars into the driveway and the dead man’s eyes immediately snap open. Who knew Audis were the new miracle in medical science?
It Was A Wonderful World
Remember a time when everything was simpler and happier? It’s been almost 10 years since Discovery released this commercial that featured amazing shots of astronauts, sailors, tornado-chasers, and more — all singing along to the iconic cheery tune. Revisiting this ad really shows you how different today’s world has become.Come on, when was the last time you saw such a happy celebration of the world?
Now you don’t have to travel all the way to Japan for an omikuji, a fortune-telling strip of paper that the Japanese typically get during the first shrine visit of the New Year. Instead of going to a shrine, click on this site where this virtual Omikuji machine, the brainchild of a Japanese ad agency, will dish out predictions for 2018. ‘Shake’ a virtual box full of sticks, and it churns out ‘predictions’ as accurate as… a fortune cookie you get from the supermarket. One of our virtual lots read: “Be mindful of your impulses. Can you really afford that? You are not Kim Kardashian, you know!” Sassy.
A WILD WRITE
This site is apparently “the smart thesaurus for sentences” — it uses artificial intelligence to paraphrase sentences for you. It’s still in beta, but the fact that it can recognise which words to replace without compromising the overall meaning of the sentence is remarkable. Remember to play around with the Quill Strength, which determines how much creative freedom (and chance of making mistakes) the AI gets. You’ll know when your friends are on this once they start posting more cheem Instagram captions. | <urn:uuid:1eb48fcd-cccd-47c8-9619-2cf5e700a366> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.8days.sg/seeanddo/thingstodo/get-your-fortune-read-with-this-virtual-shrine-10036142 | 2018-11-13T02:19:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741192.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113020909-20181113042909-00442.warc.gz | en | 0.937411 | 811 | [

From: Kemmerer Wyoming
Weight: 6.3 Ounces
Dimensions: 5.5 Inches Long, 3.5 Inches Wide & 0.4 Inches Thick (Plate)
Fish is 4.6 Inches Long & 2 Inch Wide
The item pictured is the one you will receive.
This is a genuine fossil, not a replica.
56 million Years old Eocene age.
Diplomystus Dentatus morphology, including its upturned mouth, h is prototypic of a surface feeding fish. The genius herrings that likely fed on small surface-dwelling fish as Knightia is evidenced by numerous fossils found with Knightia is the stomach or mouth.
Fifty million years ago ancient Fossil Lake existed in what is now southwest Wyoming. Of its estimated maximum extent of 930 square miles, approximately 500 square miles of sediment remains. The 230 square miles across the center of the ancient lake-bed contain exceptionally fossiliferous sediments and associated geologic features including deltas, beaches, springs, and rocks from the center and near shore environments.
The unusual chemistry of fossil lake prevented decay and scavenging of dead organisms while millimeter-thick layers of alternating limestone matter slowly accumulated. The result is laminated limestones that contained the highest concentration of fossil fish in the world. These fish, other aquatic organisms, and associated geologic features make Fossil Lake the world's best Paleogene record of the freshwater lake ecosystem.
Since the discovery in the 1870's, many perfectly preserved fossil fish have been recovered. Preserved with the fish in the laminated limestone is a complete aquatic ecosystem: cyanobacteria, plants, insects, crustaceans (shrimp, crawfish, and ostracods), amphibians (frog and primitive salamander), alligators, turtles, birds, and mammals, including the oldest pantolestid (otter-like animal). The subtropical terrestrial ecosystem surrounding the lake is also represented by rare fossils, including a horse, two snakes, lizards, two bat species, birds, apatemyid (an arboreal insectivore), miacad (primitive carnivore), insects, and more than 325 types of leaves, seeds, and flowers.
Please be aware of the nature of fossils:
Being buried under the ground for millions of years under tons of pressure tends to be rough. No fossil comes out of the ground whole and perfect. Most fossils have undergone some restoration, while others are altered by man simply to enhance their presentation in different ways. These are part of the natural beauty of the fossil and not considered defects. | <urn:uuid:7aeddb11-a8ba-425e-9f17-9b7c0558d7f3> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.fossilageminerals.com/products/diplomystus-dentatus-fossil-fish-green-river-formation-wy | 2018-11-13T03:03:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741192.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113020909-20181113042909-00442.warc.gz | en | 0.916642 | 542 | [

“We can dig a pit and bury you alive” Annual Report on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders in China, 2011
“We can dig a pit and bury you alive”
Annual Report on the Situation of Human Rights Defenders in China, 2011
Chinese Human Rights Defenders (CHRD)
The state of human rights in China continued to deteriorate in the year 2011. As documented in this annual report from CHRD, it has been a year of harsh crackdowns for human rights defenders (HRDs), characterized by lengthy prison sentences, extensive use of extralegal detention, and enforced disappearance and torture.
Against the backdrop of the wave of protests that swept across North Africa and the Middle East and brought down entrenched dictatorships, anonymous online calls in China for “Jasmine rallies” clearly unnerved the government. Large numbers of security personnel were deployed in the areas where protests were expected to take place; an unknown number of people (estimated in the thousands) who had spoken out on the subject or posted related information online, or who participated in the rallies, were seized and taken away for interrogation. Dozens of human rights activists, lawyers, and outspoken intellectuals were disappeared and tortured, and several veteran democracy advocates were sentenced to long prison terms.
“This ‘Jasmine Crackdown,’ felt most keenly by HRDs, marked yet another low point in the downward spiral of China’s human rights records, making 2011 the most repressive year since the rights defense (weiquan) movement began in the early 2000s,” said Renee Xia, CHRD’s International Director.
Among the rights defenders surveyed for this report, over half said that in comparison to the previous year freedoms of expression and assembly—essential prerequisites for the defense of human rights—had deteriorated in 2011. The crackdown impacted not only the individual activists, but also menacingly conveyed a warning to the ordinary Chinese citizens: anyone who challenges the government will be punished.
One of the most alarming developments in 2011 was the extensive use of enforced disappearance against HRDs. Although thousands of citizens are routinely held in illegal “black jails” for complaining about government misconduct, the use of enforced disappearance, which occurred only rarely before the Jasmine Crackdown, was stepped up: at least two dozen high-profile activists across the country were disappeared and held for weeks or months at a time. In August, the government announced draft amendments to the Criminal Procedure Law (CPL) that would allow certain detainees to be held incommunicado and in undisclosed location for up to six months, without any notification being provided to their families. The Chinese government announced in the 2012 annual March meeting of the National People’s Congress that some changes have been made to the problematic provisions of the CPL, notably that the families would now be notified of the “residential surveillance,” but the final text of the law is yet to be made public.
A disturbing development in 2011 for China’s 250 million registered users of microblogging services (“weibo”) was the introduction of the “real-name registration system.” In December the Beijing municipal and Guangdong provincial governments, where major internet companies are based, announced that new users would be required to register for an account using their real names, with existing users expected to comply with this new requirement in the near future. This measure is probably one of the most effective yet in reining in the power of microblogs to expose rights abuses and put pressure on the authorities.
In December 2011, just days before the end of human rights lawyer Gao Zhisheng’s five-year suspension of a prison term for subversion imposed in December 2006, a Beijing court cancelled the suspension and ordered him to serve his full three-year sentence in a Xinjiang prison.
Disappeared for 20 months, Gao’s whereabouts remain unclear as he was not allowed to see his family when they tried to visit him in prison in January 2012. In December 2011 and January 2012, as the anniversary of the beginning of the Arab Spring approached, the government sent a clear warning that it would not tolerate any activities promoting democratic transition by imposing heavy custodial sentences on three democracy activists: Chen Wei, Chen Xi and Li Tie.
Ending 2011 on a slightly more positive note, in November the Guangzhou government announced “innovative reforms” intended to make it easier for certain categories of “social organizations” to legally register, with such reforms possibly being rolled out to the rest of China later.
However, organizations which focus on the promotion of human rights are unlikely to benefit from such measures and will continue to suffer from close monitoring and forced closure.
Other key findings of this report
- In 2011, CHRD documented 3,833 incidences of individuals arbitrarily detained for their work in defense of human rights and 159 incidences of torture of such persons.
- Of this total, the vast majority were held in forms of detention with no basis in Chinese law or regulations, particularly black jails and soft detention.
- According to a survey of 57 HRDs conducted for this report, one in four activists suffered torture or enforced disappearance; half were detained; and two out of three were monitored or harassed in 2011 for their activities.
“The extent to which torture, enforced disappearance, and arbitrary detention is routinely used by the authorities to penalize activists is truly alarming,” said Renee Xia, “CHRD’s survey provides new evidence that the Chinese government has utterly failed to honor international obligations to protect human rights defenders.”
This is CHRD’s fifth annual report on HRDs in China. It examines their situation China during 2011, the conditions in which their work was conducted, and the extent to which the government has or has not fulfilled its obligations to protect their rights as articulated in the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders. The report has been compiled based on a review of data gathered during 2011. In addition, a survey was conducted with 57 human rights activists based in 13 provinces and municipalities across China. International and domestic media reporting and the work of other human rights organizations on the situation of human rights in China during 2011 were also consulted.

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”
So over the years not only has my business evolved but also the packaging that I decide to use for my couples. In the past the boxes have been pretty dark, small and what I thought was right for my brand/business wasn’t quite what I really wanted.
So over the Christmas and New Year period I decided it was time to spice things up and to change things again and to start the whole process of finding the right packaging for my branding and the right packaging to present my couples with began.
I finally found a company after a few weeks of detailed searching and after making my decision I decided to take the plunge and placed my order. Ordering was easy, the whole process from start to finish was simple and quick, so my thanks to Woody Woodclick for my current 2016 packaging and I look forward to working with you again in the future.
So what’s included I hear you say? Well for my couples my current packaging includes the following;
16GB USB Memory Drive containing your Hi Resolution Images and a selection of prints from your wedding day.

So I'm supposed to be making the figures for my thesis this weekend but poor Toshi chucked a spazz and crashed Photoshop :( I decided to give the machine a break, and since I ruv Pooey, I decided to do what she wanted and make more Hummingbird products for her to eat. Even though she lives on the other side of the planet. Kekeke.
I decided to make the hazelnut cupcakes because none of the shops in my local shopping centre sold stem ginger in syrup.
I also figured this would be a test run because I have my doubts about their methods. Namely, am I not supposed to cream butter and sugar together as the base for cakes? I decided to follow their directions as closely as possible. What I've put here is the one printed in the book with my changes in purple, just in case anyone wants to try it themselves.
Cupcake - makes 12
100g plain flour
20g cocoa powder
140g caster sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
40g unsalted butter at room temp (I lazily combined the butter/salt thing by using low-salt butter)
120ml (1/2 cup is close enough) whole milk
hazelnuts (to decorate)
- Pre-heat the oven to 170C/325F
- Put the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder, and butter together in a freestanding electric mixer with paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric whisk) and beat on slow speed until you get a sandy consistency and everything is combined. (I did this even though the baker in me was revolting at it. I did however start the mixing by hand with a wooden spoon to break up the butter into smaller chunks before using the mixer.)
- Slowly pour the milk into the mixture, beating until all the ingredients are well mixed. Add the egg and beat well, scraping any unmixed ingredients from the side with a spatula
- Spoon the mixture into the paper cases until 2/3 full and bake for 20 minutes. Cakes are ready when a skewer comes out clean. Cool slightly in tray, before turning out onto a wire rack.
- When the cupcakes are cold, hollow out a small section in the centre of each and fill each one with a dollop of nutella. I used about 1/2 tsp of Nutella depending on how large I made the holes. It varied :P
250g icing sugar, sifted
80g unsalted butter at room temp (again, I cheated with the low salt)
25ml whole milk
80g (2 tbs) Nutella
- Beat the icing sugar and butter together in a freestanding electric mixer with paddle attachment (or use a handheld electric whisk) on medium/slow until everything is well mixed (Again, I started by hand with a wooden spoon to breat the butter and mix it in before using the mixer.)
- Turn to mixer to slower speed and slowly pour int he milk. Whenthe milk is completely incorporated, turn to higher speed and beat until frosting is light and fluffy (approx 5 mins).
- Stir in the nutella by hand until evenly mixed into the frosting. Spoon on top and finish with hazelnuts to garnish.
Firstly, I don't think this mixture makes 12 cupcakes. Unless I overfilled my first batch of 6 (entirely possible but you can judge for yourself from the ones in the pics), I think it makes closer to 10 because the second batch of 6 weren't that full. Anyway, to try and emulate the pic in the book, I cut one open and shared it with Spuey.
I think Spuey liked it and he said even though it didn't dribble out like the one in the picture, he could sure taste the Nutella in the cupcake. I therefore think this recipe passed, and I may make it again when Pooey gets back or if anyone requests*!
*Donations would aid the fulfilling of any requests :P | <urn:uuid:39f42a34-1bff-434f-b6b7-60a5a9e39b29> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.foodperve.com/2009/10/hummingbird-bakery-hazelnut-and.html | 2018-11-15T23:55:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742963.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115223739-20181116005739-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.955411 | 842 | [

The big brown- 44 / ROBERT SILVERBERG haired man was General Banarkamye, the tired older man was General Tueyo. They said their rank with their name, but didn’t use it addressing one another, nor did they call him Mister. Before Liberation, rentspeople had seldom used any titles to one another but those of parentage: father, sister, aunty. Titles were something that went in front of an owner’s name: Lord, Master, Mister, Boss. Evidently the Liberation had decided to do without them. It pleased him to find an army that didn’t click its heels and shout Sir!
Or he hoped so. Metoy was a man he wanted on his side. But I don’t know what my side is, he thought, as he went back to his chair by the window. The Liberation, of course, yes, but what is the Liberation? Not an ideal, the freedom of the enslaved. Not now. Never again. Since the Uprising, the Liberation is an army, a political body, a great number of people and leaders and would-be leaders, ambitions and greed clogging hopes and strength, a clumsy amateur semi-government lurching from violence to compromise, ever more complicated, never again to know the FAR HORIZONS / 51 beautiful simplicity of the ideal, the pure idea of liberty.
24 / ROBERT SILVERBERG Of the two younger house bondswomen, one called Kamsa always carried her little baby around with her, and the men ignored her. The other, Heo, was the scared one who had waited on him. Tualenem used her every night. The other men kept hands off. When they or any of the bondspeople passed Esdan in the house or outdoors they dropped their hands to their sides, chin to the chest, looked down, and stood still: the formal reverence expected of personal assets facing an owner. ” Her reply was the reverence.

Since spring has sprung and you may be itching to go out and get your hands dirty in your gardens, be it the size of a pot or the FedEx field, you might be looking for inspiration. Well, we will help you find said inspiration while helping you discover the city’s hidden gems for an outing on a lovely spring day. We generally don’t associate a metropolitan city like D.C. with perfectly manicured gardens or acres and acres of land comprising exotic gardens and woodlands open for the public to explore, but they do exist. And if it rains, as it is known to do in the spring, remember that all these locations have indoor gems to be enjoyed. Here are some of the gardens for you to visit during the warm spring days:
- Hillwood Estate Museum and Gardens located near Howard University is, in our humble opinion, D.C.’s jewel box. It sits on 25 acres of land; 13 acres of which are dedicated to the beautifully maintained gardens that complement (dare we say even rival) the mansion and its extensive collections. Once thoroughly overwhelmed by its breathtaking rose gardens, orchid greenhouses and waterfall and the equally breathtaking interior of the mansion, you can rest your feet at their charming cafe. We also suggest you visit their calendar for their many events throughout the year.
- The Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America is our runner up for the District’s well hidden treasure with a beautiful interior of the main church and a glorious serene garden with over 1200 plants, herbs, and flowers including many different kinds of roses on 40 acres. They are open Monday through Sunday for select hours, so be sure to visit their website for their times.
- Sitting on 444 acres of land is The National Arboretum, where you can find various trees, herb and flower gardens, bonsai museums, the Capitol’s original columns, and much much more. You can walk or bike on the trails or drive to the various spots or just sit on one of the many benches along the trails to explore the various flora and enjoy the scenery. The National Arboretum is open to the public Friday through Monday and it is right on New York Ave NE.
- The Tudor Place Historic House and Gardens is another gem that offers guided tours through the gardens where you learn the history of the century old trees, plants and flowers including a Japanese tea house on 5.5 acres. They also offer a “Tea and Tour Package” where they treat you to a traditional Victorian tea and delicious accompaniments. When you leave this delicious experience and you still feel like you need more gardens in your day, remember you are a stone throw away from the historic Dumbarton Oaks, home of yet another of D.C.’s exquisite gardens.
Some of us apartment or condo dwellers, however, may not have an outdoor space to garden, or we may not have the desire to go out and ruin our manicures in the dirt. Well, we suggest you bring the already beautifully arranged (by someone else) gardens in a dish indoors. We can help with that too. | <urn:uuid:a584a086-fe4f-4cf4-98eb-bfce5f0d407e> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://blogmyflorist.com/the-power-of-flowers/sending-flowers/d-c-garden-inspirations/ | 2018-11-17T04:24:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743282.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117040838-20181117062838-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.956347 | 644 | [

Responding to a Scottish Government statement shelving their long delayed education bill but committing to make changes without legislation, education spokesperson Tavish Scott MSP said:
"Nicola Sturgeon has repeatedly said education is her number one priority but she couldn't even be bothered to turn up to see her legislative centrepiece vanish like lines off a classroom smartboard.
"This bill has faced well deserved criticism from teachers, unions and even the SNP's own advisers. It should be discarded, not left hanging over the heads of councils.
"What teachers need is the time to teach and a fair wage for doing so. Not more power in the hands of SNP quangos.
"Parents, pupils and teachers will never again trust the SNP when they say that education is at the heart of their agenda." | <urn:uuid:ca14b45d-c58a-4b4b-aab7-789d284123b4> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.tavishscott.com/scott_snp_education_bill_vanishing | 2018-11-19T17:47:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746061.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119171420-20181119193420-00122.warc.gz | en | 0.965709 | 161 | [

The following is an important announcement concerning the forthcoming Fintech and Blockchain World Expo.
After consulting with several of our major event partners, as well as conducting a thorough internal review, we have decided to postpone the Expo to a future date yet to be determined.
The principal reason for the postponement is the number of conflicting, similarly themed events taking place on and around the same time as the Expo. Some of our major event partners felt that postponing the Expo to a less crowded time period would result in a greatly improved experience for all Expo attendees, participants, and collaborators.
Planning and executing an event like the Expo requires an intense amount of work and internal resources, and one of the other reasons we’re postponing the event is to refocus some of our efforts on projects that have been left underserved in the run-up to the Expo.

Safe in traffic law with CheckYourRight
The German traffic law, with which probably every citizen in the everyday life comes directly or indirectly into contact, consists actually of several sub-areas, which merge fluently into each other.
The cooperation lawyers of CheckYourRight check the legality of the fine notice or the correctness of the driving license withdrawal. In the free first check – reliable and fast.
Simply submit documents and receive the assessment of our cooperation lawyers within 48 hours!
Traffic civil law
A branch of traffic law in which the cooperation lawyers of CheckdeinRecht can support you is the civil transport law, which usually deals with liability issues. After an accident, the question of guilt must be clarified and it is checked whether compensation or compensation for pain needs to be paid. The various liability types include indebtedness, strict liability, liability for force majeure and contributory negligence.
In addition, all those issues fall under the civil transport law, which deal with the traffic contract law. These include issues such as the repair, purchase and financing of a vehicle. Our cooperation lawyers come into action when it comes to what damage is replaced by which insurance or if there is a reason not to comply with the obligation to pay.
Even with this part of the traffic law in which CheckYourRight can support you, almost everyone comes into contact. Offenses such as parking or speeding violations lead to a fine or other sanctions, which are regulated in the offense law. Other examples are the crossing of a red light, too small a minimum distance to the car in front or driving under the slight influence of alcohol. Of course connected with this are the notorious points in Flensburg or fines, against which one would like to fight back for a variety of reasons.
It should be noted that you have only 2 weeks to file an appeal. After this period, the notice will automatically be valid. Even „minor offenses“ can lead to a driving license withdrawal, which is why a consultation by the cooperation lawyers from CheckYourRight is recommendable.
Traffic criminal law
The line between traffic violations and serious crimes is sometimes very fine.. One speaks of serious crimes, if one endangers with his own behavior other fellow citizens. Ignoring a red light, which is displayed for more than a second, so this is no offense and falls into traffic criminal law.
Disabling a fire service operation by incorrect parking, this is understandably classified as a threat to human life, even if wrong parking otherwise results in a parking ticket. Even trips under the influence of alcohol above 1.1 parts per thousand are classified as a criminal offense. Likewise one makes oneself punishable by the unauthorized removal from the place of accident. All these examples are covered by traffic criminal law.
Every now and then one is surprised how a supposedly smaller offense becomes a criminal complaint. If this happens to you, you should seek a legal counsel in a timely manner.
With all these concerns in traffic law you are welcome to contact the experts of CheckYourRight!
Buying a car
Did you buy a used car and were deceived in terms of mileage, number of previous owners, year of construction or condition of the car?
CheckYourRight fights together with its co-operation partners geblitzt.de, dein-freispruch.de and Betrug-beim-Autokauf.de for your right!

Purchasing a new phone is not always going to be easy. Smartphones come in a lot of different models and sizes, each with their own set of features. Whether it is a phone with a good camera, battery life or even if it is for gaming, there will usually be more than one device which you would be able to choose from. This makes it an arduous process to choose a specific model over the others that are available. Here are a few things you can consider before you purchase a new phone.
Before you go out shopping for your new phone, you will need to figure out how much you are willing to spend on it. When preparing a budget, you will need to factor in everything from the phone to the accessories that you plan on getting as well. If you are getting a device such as the ravpower power bank, you will need to make sure that you have the money to get it. The amount you will spend will allow you to choose between the mid-range, budget and the high-end devices. Therefore, you will need to make sure this is a realistic amount.
Get the right protection
If you are purchasing a smart phone in the mid or high-end price range, you will need to take the necessary measures to try and protect it. One way of doing this is to purchase a case, which will protect the phone from harsh falls. Another way of doing this is to get a screen protector, which will in turn help you protect your phone screen. This way, you don’t have to deal with having to get a replacement screen for your device, which can be quite expensive.
Get the necessary accessories
Purchasing a smartphone will require a few additional accessories if you want to unlock the full potential of it. This would mean having to invest an additional amount, but sometimes these accessories tend to be quite necessary. For instance, you might need products such as the https://sobre.com.au/collections/products/products/anker-powercore-10000-2-4a-external-battery?variant=21477738883, which will be necessary for you, in case you require a backup power source. Other common accessories will be spare USB cables and earphones, for making handsfree calls. Some phones do come with these out of the box, but this is not the case with all of them. Therefore, purchasing a new smartphone is arduous process. These tips will help you with making a better choice. | <urn:uuid:49059285-f9a3-477c-8ed4-e403210e3bf5> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://needleworkplace.com/things-to-consider-when-purchasing-a-new-phone/ | 2018-11-21T01:38:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746926.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121011923-20181121033923-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.964653 | 511 | [

What happened to summer.....! Saturday July 28th 2018, Burghley House Stately Home (on the edge of Cambridgeshire) and what some would call a typical British summer evening. I should point out two days earlier, the temperature was over thirty degrees and not a cloud in the sky. That all seemed a distance memory as I sat in the car (no real desire to get out) and filmed the rain flying past.
Luckily after a few minutes the rain started to ease off and the sun slowly began to show itself apologetically from behind the dark clouds.
The importance of the sun and the vanishing of the rain becomes more understood when you realise we were here for the annual (Outdoor) Burghley House Film Festival. Two films shown on a massive screen in the grounds behind the house. "Bring your desk chairs and a picnic and enjoy the movies as the summer sun goes down in the distance".
Luckily the rain did eventually abate and the sun, blue sky and light cloud slowly took over the skies again. We were able to enjoy a lovely night watching the two films (Hangover and Saturday Night Fever) and apart from a couple of short showers (requiring a shelter under the collective group umbrella for a few moments) the night remained dry. | <urn:uuid:5b6ed620-7be3-4392-b5ad-272d3d5df051> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.cambridgebyphoto.com/blog/burghley-house-film-festival | 2018-11-14T20:06:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742263.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114191308-20181114213308-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.966469 | 261 | [

Like many coastal towns, Bethany Beach appears to be stuck in the midst of an aesthetic identity crisis.
The Bethany Beach Cultural and Historical Affairs Committee (CHAC) is pushing for the preservation and, perhaps more importantly, identification of historical homes in the area. Meanwhile, discussion earlier this summer focused on a uniform appearance of the shops and restaurants along Garfield Parkway.
It’s a tricky situation.
Bethany Beach, by nature, is a quaint beach town. Though impacted by vacationers and summer residents four months a year, the town has managed to maintain a quiet and welcoming feel. Restaurants have succeeded, and become extremely positive additions to the town, without becoming noisy distractions and the bandstand has been a welcomed addition with the performances of family- and adult-oriented entertainment. It’s nice for the visitors and residents alike.
However, age does indeed effect us all, and towns are no exception.
The age has caused some of the older and historical homes to show some wear and tear, and it is an expensive proposition for the owners of these homes to continue to dump money into trying to keep the place alive on CPR. Often times, the frustration alone causes the owner to sell the property or rebuild — projects that rarely maintain the original look of the home.
This is where the sheer importance of the CHAC comes in regarding this issue.
With help, the CHAC can assist in finding federal help and/or tax breaks for work to be done on historical homes. The problem is identifying which homes should be considered historical, and then figuring out which of these homes’ owners wish the home to even be labeled historical.
Bethany Beach just learned of millions of federal dollars coming to town for beach renourishment. That’s huge for the future. Now it’s time to help the CHAC preserve the past.
Go to the town Web site and submit your suggestions for preserving the look and feel of the town, or find a committee member and volunteer to help in identifying potential historic homes.
Times are good right now in Bethany Beach. Let’s all try to keep the ball rolling in what is an anchor town for our entire community. | <urn:uuid:483860e9-457d-4c48-ba52-1085a23d5e50> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.coastalpoint.com/41164/feature/bethany-should-maintain | 2018-11-16T02:58:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742970.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116025123-20181116051123-00082.warc.gz | en | 0.952257 | 452 | [

Leonello Tarabella, originally a sax player, began working on his gesture recognition technology for computer music in 1995 through his activity as researcher for the National Council of Research in Italy. During the years he developed two interactive systems to perform electronic music in a new and unconventional way with bare hands (read more).
At first he performed in solo all over the world for many years untill he felt the need to collaborate with another musician and instrument to give a new shape to his music work. At this point in 2010 he met Alessandro Baris drummer, multi-instrumentalist and composer known for his composing and performing versatility and sensitivity across a variety of genres including post rock, electronic, pop, improvised music, soundtrack and ambient that brought him to play in bands such as american L’Altra and Young Boy, Berliner The Somnambulist, and italian Caboto and Comfort and also a frequent performer of live soundtrack for silent movies.
The duo took the name Collisions from the opposition between the futuristic technology of Tarabella and the primordial sound of Baris’ drums which brought their music in a full and fresh mix with such a unique performing impact which has won them interest and appreciation from the audience through their shows and video releases.
After their first dvd release came out in 2012 Collisions continued working on new material to step forward into a more refined and accomplished balance in their music attitude creating a sonic and visionary landscape in constant mutation and enriched by the collaboration with Berliner artist designer Moodif who creates live interactive visuals for their performance.
As they continued to develop their music, 2015 saw the release of the short music movie “Masses and Sea Motions” in collaboration with director Davide Abate and producer Francesca Holsenn and inspired by videos as Godfrey Reggio’s “Koyaanisqatsi”, Beach House “Forever Still” and Pink Floyd “Live at Pompei”.
Performed live in the amazing location named Theatre of Silence in Tuscany Masses And Sea Motions is an evocative journey for heart and mind made of solid and brilliant grooves supporting a texture of synthesizers and dreamy melodies, creating an evocative crescendo from sunset to twilight, a way to offer and share their music with the world in a strongly emotional way. | <urn:uuid:231dd1ad-bcac-4a50-85a1-592d7ee83e9c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.collisionsmusic.com/about/ | 2018-11-16T04:21:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742970.12/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116025123-20181116051123-00082.warc.gz | en | 0.964929 | 494 | [

“We ate well and cheaply and drank well and cheaply and slept well and warm together and loved each other.” ― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
And I thought my trip to San Francisco couldn’t get any better 😉
Ben and I are thrilled to announce that we are engaged! Cheesy loved up story after the jump + the uber nerdy gif we made to celebrate.
The day after we got tattoos (more on that soon) Ben asked me to marry him.
It was our last full day in San Francisco. We popped into Mr. Holmes for some quirky pastries, checked out of our hotel, Ben had his first Sushirrito then we headed to the Mission where I, at last, tried a Little Chihuahua burrito.
We had a lovely chilled afternoon in the Mission, drinking horchata from Dandelion and Bluebottle coffee-flavoured ice cream from Bi-Rite Creamery. We read in the sunshine in Dolores park, taking turns to nap: basically, an idyllic San Francisco day.
As sunset approached, we headed to Alamo Square, as I wanted to photograph the famous Painted Ladies for Cara. One of the most photographed attractions in the city, I picked sunset on a Tuesday in the hopes that it would be a bit quieter than usual.
There were still some tourists milling around taking selfies and lots of locals going for jogs. As I was shooting, Ben pulled me up to a quiet hill, ostensibly to get a better shot. I fired off a few frames, and had just finished saying that, actually, I didn’t think this was a better spot for a shot (lol). It was right around then that he pulled a ring out of his hoodie pocket and asked me to marry him.
I was proper shocked. Like, hilarious-open-mouth-wide-eyed-“are-you-serious?” shocked. Not because I wasn’t sure I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this fun, funny, good-hearted, open, caring man. (I was definitely sure of that, especially as those tattoos were still healing.) But because we were in a very content place, had both just started new jobs, and this seemed like something we might get around to down the line. It’s so wonderful getting honestly, truly surprised as a grown up, though.
The ring is from the 1940s had been Ben’s mum and his grandmother’s engagement ring, so you know that alone was enough to well me right up. Teary, shocked selfie below.
After I said yes (of course!), we just got ridiculously giddy – we Uber-ed down to The Buena Vista, which held a lot of sentimental value for us, as it’s where we’d brought in our first new year together (Irish time) in the home of the Irish coffee. We headed down to the beach and took some sunset snaps (up until that day, I had been lamenting how few pics of the two of us we had from this trip, ha).
As the sun dipped lower, we decided on a whim to walk up to Lombard Street, another famous SF highlight, panting our way up the steep hill (the one I mention in this post, actually!), literally chasing the sunset. Then we had an amazing meal in Lazy Bear, before waiting until 1am SF time so we could call and message our Irish family and friends.
We’ve been wandering around in a loved up, surreal haze for the past few days, but as you can tell, we’re pretty excited and wanted to share it.
Top quote: A line that makes me think of us and makes me happy, which we have framed thanks to this great Oh My Deer print on Etsy. | <urn:uuid:d8456ff7-1f28-4ad3-bd58-832999e534e8> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://nathalie.ie/blog/2016/03/29/some-news/ | 2018-11-18T14:49:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744381.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118135147-20181118161147-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.983049 | 805 | [

It’s my first time to process car registration and since LTO Binan branch is just a few blocks away from our place I decided process my registration here. Before leaving my uncle told me that he has know somebody who has a connection inside the LTO Binan, he gave me the name. But since, i want to experience this process, I decided to do it by myself.
Pagdating ko sa LTO office, a man dressed in yellow t-shirt and kaki shorts tried to collect a P40 parking fee and when I was about to pay him, he asked me if I’m planning to get car registration and I said “Yes.” He followed up another question, if I already have a TPL insurance which is one of the requirements, i said “No,” then he immediately told me that if I get a TPL from him and i will get a free parking. I asked him how much and he told me its P1,275. “Ang mahal naman manong!” So I look at my list (i research from blogs), mistakenly i told him that i only purchase my TPL for P300 few years ago (emission test fee pala yun).
Anwyay, sinabi ko sa fixer na hindi ako kukuha sa kanya, magtatanong na lang ako sa LTO office staff. Sinundan nya pa din ako, at na-feel ko that he’s sending signals to the guard (i don’t know what that means) but i feel that there’s something wrong going. So i asked 2 men inside the LTO office, they were checking and signing documents at that time. He offered me information and told me that TPL cost P980, dinala nya ko sa insurance room where I can purchase a TPL. He left, tapos itong guy sa insurance room was trying to collect P1,275 from me and I told him the guy named Jun told me its only cost P980, and he just say okay. And he wrote in her notebook, Jun’s name and P980. I saw list of names and different amount written in that notebook. Then he gave me the insurance copy written in the premium paid is just P610 and another receipt issued cost at P1,275. The 2nd receipt is the fake one. Para di maloko, I suggest for you to pay through Cebuana to renew your TPL insurance.
I paid P450 for the emission test, I guess this is official since it is posted in the emission testing center. I just wonder why they gave me two receipts P320 for the actual emission testing and P80 for interconnectivity fee (what’s this for) is it really necessary?
Then here comes a guy who would assist you to stencil process, after the process he told me “Mam, kaya na po bahala ah” sabi ko, “saan?” “tip mam” sabi nya! So i gave him P20. Then he told me that since I’m transferring registration from LTO Muntinlupa to Binan, I have to get an affidavit or something that i have to pay another P300, and I should not worry because he knows someone and he offer to help. Eto na naman, nakaka-stress ang mga tao sa LTO. Di ko na kinaya, So I napilitan din akong magpatulong sa kakilala ng uncle ko from LTO Binan. I felt bad kase I end up using connections just to get away from the corrupt fixers/LTO staff. So because of his help, i finished the rest of the process for only 45 minutes.
To summarize here’s the correct cost in processing your car registration:
TPL insurace – 610.00 (car) or 670.00 (SUV, van, etc)
Emission Test – 450.00
LTO Registration – 1929.05 (car)
Total: Php 2,989.00
Sana hindi kayo mabiktima ng mga taga-LTO. Nakakalungkot lang talaga, na ganito ang system sa Pilipinas. 😦 | <urn:uuid:0908dd68-7368-40cf-bb38-65c2c9eb186c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://jenicejoy.com/2012/02/03/lto-binan-most-corrupt-experience-so-far/ | 2018-11-18T14:35:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744381.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118135147-20181118161147-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.945862 | 918 | [
