Would I give my life for her?
Would I sacrifice everything, for her?
Would I let my self be a puppet to her strings?
Would I trust her… with every god damn thing?
When there’s darkness, there’s nothing else but silence
When there’s a room, there’s nothing but my body and my heart in it
When there’s gain, there’s always loss so in the end there’s really nothing
There’s ponder about the great wide universe
And something to believe in | <urn:uuid:fec4864a-0478-4b2d-9cf7-774a7b20e160> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://samasyatapasya.wordpress.com/tag/room/ | 2018-11-18T13:53:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744381.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118135147-20181118161147-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.795047 | 121 | [

Sweet, sensible, and sensitive Clémence Poésy has won over the hearts of many. Cinematic roles in “The Silence of Joan”, “Harry Potter”, and “Le Mystere” were some of her most memorable roles, which stunned audience members with her award winning performances.
Caramels and feminine pinks reveal a softer, more sentimental look for fall. Velvet wool, felt hats, and corduroy jeans embrace a North England style, which is particularly heartfelt for the French actress. In addition to her collection, she has designed stylish t-shirts, in which the proceeds will be donated to W4.
Back in March of 2014, Poésy became the face of Love Story fragrance by Chloe. The actress will appear in both film and print campaigns. The fragrance consists of notes of neroli, orange blossom, jasmine stephanotis, and cedar. Love Story will be available for purchase on August 25 and prices include 56 Euros (about $75) for 30 ml, 82 Euros (about $110) for 50 ml, and 99 Euros (about $133) for 75 ml.
Poésy has also been featured on the cover of iD, Jalouse, Nylon, and Yen Magazine. Hitting two birds with one stone helps Poésy truly embrace her acting talent, while tapping into her inner design side. Overall, her well-rounded experience will take her further and we are all dying to know what her next upcoming role (in fashion or acting), will be.

Nokia announced their PureView 808 smartphone back in February of last year, the handset came with Symbian Belle, and it was thought to be the last Symbian smartphone from Nokia.
Nokia has now officially confirmed that the PureView 808 was indeed their last Symbian handset, you can see the statement from Nokia below.
“The Nokia 808 PureView, a device which showcases our imaging capabilities and which came to market in mid-2012, was the last Symbian device from Nokia.”
Even though this is their last Symbian handset, Nokia managed to sell a total of 2.2 million Symbian devices in their last financial quarter, which is about half the amount of Windows Phone handsets they sold.

Record-breaking endurance cyclist Lee Fancourt sent a text to a friend to say goodbye before he took his own life, a coroner’s court heard, today.
The 40-year-old was found unconscious and unresponsive by police in his car parked up in a layby off Elmore Lane in January.
A text message to a friend who he had known his since childhood, said: “Bye bro, it’s finally time for me to go.”
The court was told that Lee Fancourt, who changed his name to Lee Ridgway before his death, had never sought any mental health treatment, although there had been a previous attempted overdose in 2016.
On the afternoon of January 19 this year, police found him lying on the back seat of his car with white powder and other drug paraphernalia near to the driver’s side of the vehicle.
In a written report, a pathologist told the court there had been quite an overwhelming amount of cocaine present in his body alongside MDMA (ecstasy), some alcohol and therapeutic drugs such as anti-histamines and over the counter cough mixture.
There was severe congestion of his lungs and kidneys and he was suffering from pulmonary oedema as a result of the high level of cocaine.
Lee lived with his aunt at Shelduck Road, Quedgeley and his family had earlier reported him missing as they were worried about not being able to contact him and having not heard from him for a while.
The father-of-two was the fastest man to travel through Europe by bike and had taken part in several epic fundraising rides.
He broke the 12, 24 and 48-hour off-road world record and went on the smash the trans-Europe north to south record.
Coroner Ms Katy Skerrett said: “It might only have been a fleeting intention but based on the amount of cocaine, the text message and how he had taken himself away from his family and friends, I am passing a verdict of suicide.
Anyone suffering from mental health issues who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts should contact the mental health charity MIND or the Samaritans.
Where to get help and what to do if you're worried about mental health issues
What to do if you feel low
If you're not feeling yourself, going through a bad time, or are just feeling sad more than usual, it's possible that you could be experiencing depression or anxiety.
This doesn't mean that you're necessarily at risk, there are scales of both, and it could be that you are just experiencing low mood or moderate anxiety.
The most important thing to do is to let people around you know how you're feeling.
Talking to a partner, family member or friend is essential. They may be able to offer support and can be there for you while you go through a difficult time.
Where can I get help?
You should also go to talk to your GP.
Your GP can help find out if you're experiencing anxiety, stress and depression.
They can recommend ways to feel better naturally, for example increasing your exercise levels, or can suggest medication and counselling.
They can also refer you on to other mental health services.
Who else can I call?
Let’s Talk is a free NHS service for anyone experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety, stress and depression. It can be contacted on 0800 073 2200 or via www.talk2gether.nhs.uk.
If you feel you need more help, you can call the 2gether NHS Foundation Trust in Gloucestershire direct on 0800 073 2200 to discuss an appointment.
The mental health charity Mind runs a helpline on 0300 123 3393, or 86463 on text.
The Samaritans is also always there for those who have nowhere else to turn.
But it stresses that it's not just for those who have suicidal thoughts. In fact they say: "Most people who contact us are not suicidal. When you talk to us, we will give you an opportunity to talk about any thoughts or feelings you have, whatever they may be."
You can call the Samaritans on 116 123.
In Cheltenham, the Suicide Crisis Centre provides vital support. Along with the services at the centre in High Street, Cheltenham, the charity also goes out to visit service users – sometimes staying for hours at a time if they are at high risk of suicide.
To contact the Suicide Crisis Centre, phone 07975 974455 or visit www.suicidecrisis.co.uk | <urn:uuid:ed56f258-97e1-40f0-ba75-78bd95030c66> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/gloucester-news/record-breaking-cyclist-lee-fancourt-1692417 | 2018-11-13T18:49:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741340.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113173927-20181113195927-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.97703 | 950 | [

Using emergent technologies to develop sustainable architectural composites
MetadataShow full metadata
The intention of this project is to research the potential of emergent technologies for developing sustainable composites for the building industry. It is divided into three parts: Part 1 Identifies emergent practices which are being applied to the development of new sustainable building prototypes such as developments using nanotechnologies, the influence of biomimetics, the development of intelligent interactive systems and the use of digital technologies to generate complex cellular structural systems. Part 2 Outlines existing processes involved in selecting and manufacturing prototypes, as many existing processes have been opportunistically applied to emergent practices to generate innovative sustainable prototypes. Part 3 By synthesising the research gathered in the previous parts of this thesis, this section documents the design process for developing a sustainable building system. The design is based on a minimal surface structure to reduce materiality and to optimise strength and its manufacturing process exploits emergent and existing technologies for its generation. | <urn:uuid:e6d060c8-43a9-496c-916a-d83ba71a0fa0> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://aut.researchgateway.ac.nz/handle/10292/933 | 2018-11-15T00:00:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742322.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114232605-20181115014605-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.893152 | 195 | [

A 20-year old Nengi Ibama of the department of Economics, Baze University, Abuja was the overall best graduating student among the 230 graduands from three faculties of the institution during their fifth convocation ceremony held on the campus.
Many students from various departments received prizes for their academic academic excellence.
Delivering his welcome speech, the vice chancellor of the university Prof. Tahir Mamman said the students’ performance had placed the institution on the global scale of academic excellence. He advised the graduands to shun the practice of cheating, shortcuts and corruption in their next endearvours, rather they should be creative and innovative and be courageous in facing the future. He added that those who don’t try don’t fail, but indeed, the ones that tried and failed always emerged victorious.
Prof. Mamman who enumerated numerous achievements of the university under his stewardship stressed that the institution has now attained a world class standard towards actualising its dream through quality teaching, research, community services and active collaborations with stakeholders, particularly in the area of security, as currents trend facing the nation. He further appealed to parents to monitor their children and encourage them to take their academic programme as a cardinal objective and avoid drug abuse.
Similarly, the chancellor and chairman, Board of Trustees (BOT) of Baze University, Alh. (Dr) Ahmadu Abubakar, disclosed that the institution has qualified academic staff who are making waves in the field for national development.
He thus, urged the graduands to be ambassadors of the university.
In his goodwill massage, the former chief of defence staff, Lt General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma (rtd) who doubled as the special guest of honor, stressed that Nigeria is relatively far behind in the field, therefore, education should not be left in the hands of government alone. He urged individuals to establish private schools side by side with government institutions to ease the high demand for education in the country.
In the same vein, the dean of Computer and Applied Sciences, Prof. Gabriel Asenge who read the citation of the special guest, Lt. General Danjuma described the elder statesman as a beacon of hope, a man of humanity and a patriotic Nigerian who had served the country diligently and contributed immensely to the development of Nigeria.No tags for this post. | <urn:uuid:922f21a5-8bee-4132-8af1-730d2a458f51> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.blueprint.ng/baze-varsity-convocation-20-year-old-female-student-is-overall-best/ | 2018-11-15T00:07:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742322.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114232605-20181115014605-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.963934 | 486 | [

During the late 1940s, Justine Geiser was employed by the Whitaker Insurance Agency in Wooster. The company had just one other employee, bookkeeper Helen Heller.
"One day," Geiser recalled, "a salesman appeared and spoke to our boss, Francis Whitaker. After he left, Mr. W. came out of his office and carefully placed a silver colored holder containing a tall cylinder on a counter. He said, ‘You can get rid of the fountain pens and bottles of ink. This is the latest ... a ballpoint pen."
Whitaker demonstrated the pen, cautioning the women to always place the pen back in its holder when finished. It was not to be laid aside momentarily to do something else. When asked where the ink should go Whitaker replied ‘Not to worry, the ink is in the pen and will last a long, long time.’ Geiser said the pen cost $12 which she thought was extravagant since her weekly salary was $30.
"Helen and I shared the pen for several weeks," Geiser said, "and following instructions, it always stood like a sentinel on the counter. Alas, I came to work one morning and found the pen had leaked during the night and ink was slowly seeping all over the counter. What a mess. So it was back to the fountain pens and bottles of ink with no more mention of ballpoint pens!"
Whitaker Insurance Agency was located in the former First Federal building on the north side of East Liberty Street. Clyde Gault (father of the late Stanley Gault) had a two-room realty office next door. Both Whitaker and Gault were Methodists and Gault was treasurer of the church at that time.
"Every Monday morning," Geiser said, "Mr. Gault would appear at our door asking if anybody was using the adding machine. ‘No, Mr. Gault, come in,’ I would reply. He would head toward the adding machine with his hands full of offering envelopes and proceed to total up Sunday’s take on the slow ‘punch, punch, pull the handle’ machine. Afterward, he’d remain a while and we’d chat ... mostly about Stan who graduated from Wooster High School with me in 1943.
"Mr. Gault had a beautiful large roll top desk in his small office that took up most of the space. Many years later, Stan and his wife, Flo, hosted several open houses for our class reunions. At one event, Stan showed me his home office. Sure enough, there was the big desk. It had been Mr. G’s pride and joy and Stan was happy to have it."
Wooster University inaugurated its first class on Sept. 11, 1870.

It was once that building “insulation” evoked pictures of comes of fiberglass batting material either in red or white/yellowish color. Because the late 1930s, lengthy strips of fiberglass batting happen to be cut to fit between walls men as well as sandwiched between the exterior wall and the sheetrock interior. Hero tower Hyderabad supplied far superior (as well as safer) creating insulation compared to had been utilized in building for hundreds of years. However it had been, and isn’t without a significant health risk caused from inhaling the little fiberglass particles that can break free from the hitting throughout dealing with.
Hero tower Hyderabad – Protecting mask, mitts, glasses, and clothes had been standard safety gear when setting up fiberglass insulating material.
And despite its insulating usefulness, fiberglass does not give a truly good watery vapor as well as atmosphere barrier otherwise correctly set up. Many of today’s industrial building tasks are being protected with foam products that are providing higher insulation and other invasion resistance than fiberglass batting. Let’s explore some of the background and uses of froth insulating material.
After the war, the car industry started utilizing polyurethane polymers in vehicle physiques and also the housing marketplace started using it on the restricted basis for insulating homes.
Through the 1970s, technologies experienced improved the application as well as cost associated with squirt insulating material for use within the building industry. Present day spray froth insulation products provide greater energy efficiency and are attaining increasingly enhanced “green rankings.” This particular insulation is required in lots of real estate and commercial construction tasks all over the world.
Insulating material comes with an R-value score, “a measure of potential to deal with warmth movement through a provided thickness. Usually, the larger the R-value, the higher the warmth flow opposition will be Spray foam insulating material offers greater R-value ratings compared to does fiberglass insulation. Modern spray insulating material used in construction is usually 1 of 2 kinds: “Open Cell” or even “Closed Cell” foam.

Where: Thailand, Laos, Burma, South West China – at its most fervent in Chiang Mai
When: Annually, mid April
What Happens: Exhuberant water fight and Buddhist ritual of cleansing
Remember to Bring: A big towel
As featured in the book Great Festival of the World
Where’s the Party?
Songkran, the Thervada Buddhist New Year celebration is held in cities, towns and villages all over Northern Thailand, Laos, Burma and even South West China. However, arguably the largest and most exuberant celebration is held in the old Capital of the Lanna Kingdom, Chiang Mai in the North of Thailand.
Dates for the Diary
Songkran happens in mid-April, usually between the 12 and 15 April, but expect the water fights to start a couple of days earlier.
What It’s All About?
Although for most visitors, Songkran is just a big water fight, there are a number of private and public events that devout Buddhists will adhere to.
The festival officially happens over four days. On the first day, Wan Sangkhan Lohng, houses are cleaned and there is a procession of Buddha images and floats – all of which get drenched by the spectators.
The second day, Wan Nao, is when special food is cooked and people collect sand from the rivers to make sand chedis (Buddhist towers) in the temple courtyards.
The third day, Wan Payawan, is the first day of the new year and when the water fights traditionally started. People get up early to offer the food cooked the previous day and new robes to the monks.
On the last day of the festival, Wan Park Bpee, people are supposed to visit and pay respect to ancestors and the elderly, in part by pouring scented water over their hands.
The water fights generally last for a whole week, from a few days before the start of Songkran until a few days afterwards.
Visitors from most countries can stay in Thailand for 30 days without a visa, but you should contact the Embassy or Consulate in your home country for information before you leave.
During Songkran transport can get very booked up as everyone heads back to their families for the holiday period. Book well in advance if you want to fly or take the train.
Many shops and business close for Songkran, and it can be a frustrating time if you are trying to get anything done – from a massage course to cashing travellers cheques.
It is possible to fly directly to Chiang Mai from certain Southeast Asian cities – including Kunmingin China. However, most people arrive in Thailand via the capital, Bangkok.
From Bangkok, there is a comprehensive schedule of domestic flights to Chiang Mai which take around an hour, or you can take a night train or one of the many night busses that ply the route. The night train has sleepers, but gets booked out very quickly. There are public buses, but most travellers end up on one of the Khao San Road specials – a cheap, no-frills service that will get you to Chiang Mai after an uncomfortable night for a few dollars. One problem with this is that some of the busses stop at a car park outside of Chiang Mai where you can get hassled to book into a certain guesthouse and then take a hilltribe trek with them. Use your discretion.
Where to Stay
Accommodation is not normally a problem, as the city is well supplied with guesthouses and this is the low season for tourists. It is worth arriving a couple of days early though, as the more popular places can fill up, and the last thing that you want to do is have your backpack completely soaked as you plod the streets looking for a bed.
Once You’re There
Songkran can sometimes get out of hand, with too much drinking and a number of accidents caused by over-exuberant behaviour. The 2001 Songkran in Thailand reputedly saw some 300 deaths, but as long as you avoid riding in a vehicle with drunk drivers or riding a moped during Songkran then you should be relatively safe.
If you are in Chiang Mai, you won’t be able to avoid Songkran, so it is best to go with it and get ‘tooled-up’ as soon as possible. You should take care not to let any of the water get into your mouth as much of it comes from the moat round the old town. One glance at that should convince you, quite literally, to keep your mouth shut. The waterfights are supposed to end at night, and so spraying people as they walk round in their evening best clothes won’t win you many friends.
Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist country and people tend to be generally relaxed and laid back. However, this does mean that if you unwittingly cause any offence, they are unlikely to point this out to you, they will just be offended.
To avoid this you should follow the following simple rule: Always show respect to any monks, Buddhist images and the Thai Royal Family. The King is very popular and respected in Thailand. Never make any disparaging comments about him and always stand if you hear the Thai national anthem.
Never point your feet at any Buddha images, or pose for photographs in front of them. Women should never touch monks or pass anything directly to them.
Thai’s believe that the head is sacred and the feet are unclean. Never touch anyone on their heads (not even children) and never point at anything with your feet.
On the subject of monks, it is worth pointing out that being a monk is not necessarily a lifetimes devotion. Most Thai men will be a monk (or rather a novice) for at least some time in their lives and some criminals have even been sentenced to a period in a wat (temple) for an attempt at rehabilitation. Whilst you should still show them respect, women especially should be aware that there have been isolated incidents of such novices attacking lone females and should take normal precautions.
Chiang Mai is the second city in Thailand but is far more relaxed than Bangkok. There are a number of things to see, including Wat Doi Suthep, a wat, or temple, on the top of a hill outside of town.
Many companies run tours and treks to see nearby hilltribe villages, but you might find it better to wait until you are in Chiang Rai further north to organise something.
There are a number of courses that you can do in Chiang Mai, including Thai massage and Thai Cookery. These range from half a day to a number of weeks.
Songkran is celebrated in towns and villages all over South East Asia, including Bangkok and Burma, Laos and even as far as South West China. The smaller the village, the more traditional the festival will be. The one thing that will characterise all of these festival though is exuberance and a terrific water fight.

Baarburg is the name of the dominating hill to the east of Baar. The
geometrical form and the cave (Erdmandliloch: ~hole of earth trolls) have
probably animated the fantasy.
Anyway, a round tour and/or the climb is rewarding.
To the Top
|Zug - Baar (Bus 3 or 14 to "Brauerei" or
From bus stop Brauerei (Brewery) we walk along the former
to the roundabout, then straight ahead up to the Schiesstand (rifle
At the parking a road is leading to Bruederhus and Chapel
"Heiligkreuz", then on into
the forest. Later a track will cross a little gully and after
some stairs we're again on a forest road. The trail proceeds in a steady
ascent to our lookout.
During the rifle shooting you may prefer the other, unmarked road:
along the parking, straight on and after a while into the forest. There,
after hitting an other track, turn left. After 100 m you're on the
"official" walking trail again.
||View West. Top of Pilatus just out of the fog
The top loop offers two lovely lookouts: To the West the view stretches
over Baar, the Zugersee to Pilatus. To the South: Zugerberg and Rigi. At
the southern lookout there is a fireplace and a shelter.

Partly, we're using the same trail as above, but we save the climb to

50 meters. Then we turn left for the road to Walterswil. After about 20

The experimental drug has startling powers: It can turn down a mutant gene in a patient’s body, stopping the production of proteins that cause a terribly painful rare disease.
A crucial, late-stage clinical trial showed that the drug works—and that it’s safe. And now the biotech company behind it, Alnylam, is poised to bring this first-of-its-kind therapy to market.
The news has thrilled both patients and scientists, who have been working for decades on the technology to mute misbehaving genes, known as RNA interference, or RNAi. They’ve understood for two decades how the biology works. But it’s been a long, slow slog to figure out how to deliver RNAi therapies to the right cells safely and effectively. Alnylam alone has spent 15 years, and more than $1 billion, on the effort.
So does the company’s recent success herald an explosion of new drugs that can shut down troublesome genes?
The RNAi delivery systems remain highly complex—and the most effective technologies are still protected by patents that make it difficult for startups to get into the field. Safety concerns persist with other RNAi drugs in development: Last year, for instance, Alnylam had to scrap revusiran, one of its most advanced drugs. Rather than alleviating it, the drug exacerbated pain in a rare nerve disease called transthyretin amyloidosis. And several patients died in the clinical trial, though it’s still not clear exactly why. Alnylam’s stock plummeted by half on that news.
The issue of safety has haunted the RNAi field for many years now: Although it’s possible to silence the impact of genes, early work has resulted in several off-target effects that create unforeseen toxicities. So the major focus of RNAi research in recent years has been drug delivery: how to safely deposit the RNAi load to the right tissues, minimizing the impact on other bodily functions. And that’s proven challenging. While it’s working, for now, in diseases of the liver, the field still needs to validate whether RNAi can work in other organs.
Alnylam is testing seven RNAi drugs in the clinic, for conditions ranging from hepatitis B to high cholesterol. A handful of other companies are also in the field, working on therapies that treat diseases of the central nervous system or enhance cancer immunotherapy. But we’re unlikely to see a flood of startups suddenly raising tens of millions to pursue RNAi.
“I don’t think you’ll see new companies popping up in RNA interference. The intellectual property around the field is too constraining,” said Doug Fambrough, CEO of RNAi competitor Dicerna Pharmaceuticals.
Still, the field does have enormous promise —and market potential.
Most drugs work by targeting ill-formed or malfunctioning proteins and trying to excise them from the body. RNAi, by contrast, goes after the genetic source of the faulty protein production and shuts that system down.
When it works, it can ease symptoms in patients with no other options.
Alnylam’s lead RNAi drug patisiran, aimed at treating a rare nerve disorder called familial amyloid polyneuropathy, is projected to ultimately exceed $1 billion in worldwide sales at its peak, which is expected in 2023. The drug, which is being developed in conjunction with Sanofi, should be up for review by the Food and Drug Administration in a couple months, and will be up for European regulatory approval next year.
Alnylam’s stock shot up so much on the news, its market capitalization now exceeds $11 billion.
“Alnylam’s results came out with a bang, not a whimper,” said Alnylam CEO John Maraganore. “It highlights the fact that these medicines can really be transformative, turning off production of genetic disease.”
A big win in worms proves tough to translate to humans
The phenomenon of RNA interference was first observed in the 1990s in nematodes, and in 1998 scientists Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a seminal paper in Nature that demonstrated these roundworm genes could be silenced. The duo won the Nobel Prize in 2006 for their work. By that point, several companies had already launched to try to develop new RNAi-based therapeutics—including Alnylam.
Expectations were high — and so was the pressure to create a groundbreaking medicine.
Then came the roadblocks. Scientists hit hurdle after hurdle. And many companies began to crumble: While gene silencing was simple in worms, mammals proved to be far more complex—and safe drug delivery emerged as a major problem. When RNAi therapies weren’t delivered to the right tissues, dangerous side effects showed up in humans that weren’t predicted through animal models. The drugs just weren’t working.
The most dogged RNAi companies—Alnylam among them—began to study better methods to deliver these therapeutics to the right tissues. And a few different techniques have since emerged to improve drug delivery, and, by extension, safety—such as Alnylam’s approach of binding the RNAi therapeutic to a lipid nanoparticle, or fat, to help it settle in the liver. Another method used broadly by RNAi companies is “GalNAc”—a sugar derivative that’s attached to RNAi drugs to help it safely work in the liver.
Both have shown preclinical promise, and the lipid nanoparticle approach was used with patisiran to great effect in Alnylam’s positive trial. So the initial hurdles of safe RNAi delivery finally seem surmountable.
“Nobody will put [RNAi therapies] back in the box, therapeutically,” said Phil Sharp, a scientific co-founder of Alnylam and winner of his own RNA-related Nobel Prize. “They are now alive and out there, and more and more people will see them as answers to their problems.”
Still, Sharp cautioned: “It took 15 years to get here, and the next 10 years will be exponentially more impactful. But we won’t see this matured as a pharmaceutical approach for decades.”
A handful of biotechs chase a revolution
The closest approximation to another RNAi success comes from Ionis Pharmaceuticals and Biogen, which last year received approval for Spinraza, a drug aimed at spinal muscular atrophy. Children with the disease don’t produce enough of a protein called SMN, and the drug works by amplifying the gene that produces the protein—allowing the body to create more of it. It is, in a sense, the opposite of gene silencing, but it’s another proof point that validates the general concept of creating drugs that mute or amplify defective genes.
It’s also proof of concept that a successful RNAi therapy can be quite lucrative.
Spinraza is priced at $750,000 for the first year of treatment and $375,000 for each subsequent year. (Alnylam has not yet indicated how it will price patisiran if it wins FDA approval.)
Meanwhile, other biotechs working on RNAi continue to churn along. Arbutus Therapeutics just landed a $116 million investment from Roivant Sciences to speed development of its RNAi tech as well as other therapeutic platforms in development.
RXi Pharmaceuticals is pursuing RNAi therapeutics in a broad array of diseases, from warts to cancer. Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals and Wave Life Sciences have a number of preclinical programs in play, though none have advanced nearly as far as Alnylam.
Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, meanwhile, is preparing to enter the clinic with an RNAi drug that treats primary hyperoxaluria—a rare genetic disease that causes the overproduction and buildup of substances called oxalates in the urine. The company’s therapeutic aims to turn off the enzyme that creates all the excess oxalate.
Alynlam’s success boosted the stock of many of these biotechs; Dicerna’s share price jumped 21 percent immediately after Alynlam released its data on Sept. 20 and has increased steadily ever since.
A surge of interest in back-to-basics research
The bull case for RNAi draws from biotech history. As many in the industry point out, monoclonal antibodies have become a hugely lucrative and important therapeutic class—but their development was just as fraught, with just as many hurdles, as RNAi. Scientists finally solved the biggest problems, and by 2024, the market is expected to top $130 billion globally.
RNAi could hit great heights, too, if it can be made to work outside the liver.
“If we can expand the role of RNAi to other organ systems beyond the liver, the likelihood that RNAi could overtake antibodies in terms of importance for diseases of man, animals, and even plants, is certainly there,” said Dr. Geert Cauwenbergh, president and CEO of RXi Pharmaceuticals. “It’ll just take work, like anything else.”
Gene Yeo, an RNA researcher at University of California, San Diego, thinks he can break that liver barrier. He’s building on the ideas of RNAi to form his own startup, Locana Therapeutics. The company aims to use CRISPR gene-editing to craft RNA therapeutics that can be delivered into the central nervous system—clearly a daunting task for most drug makers.
By editing the RNA, the company hopes to find therapies for neurodegenerative diseases like Huntington’s and ALS.
“I think the lessons we extract from Alnylam’s successes have a little more to do with the idea of delivery,” Yeo said. “The field was mired by the delivery problem—that is, getting the compounds to the right tissues, and right cell types—and get a durable response. But now we see that we can do that.”
Madhu Lal-Nag, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health who coordinates RNAi research, said she’s starting to see a surge of interest in the field among academics who want to unravel more of the basic science, especially as it becomes clear that other hot fields of research, such as CRISPR gene-editing, face their own series of hurdles.
“Everyone jumped on the CRISPR-Cas9 bandwagon, but there are a host of things that we don’t know about genome-editing that we’re now beginning to see,” Lal-Nag said. “I think that’s been responsible for people going back and taking a look at RNAi. Better the devil you know.” | <urn:uuid:a03def57-82c9-4f2d-8a27-5d17b24e6ec9> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/experimental-drug-that-mutes-defective-genes-raises-new-hopes/ | 2018-11-16T06:14:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742978.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116045735-20181116071735-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.952456 | 2,283 | [

Legal Aid is available for most offences. Any application for legal aid is assessed in a two-fold test:
- Interests of Justice
This test considers the ‘merits’ of the case which can include your previous convictions, the nature of offence and any risk of custody. If this test is passed the next stage starts.
- Means Testing
This considers your financial position which includes household income, capital and household outgoings. This test will determine whether you will be eligible for legal aid.
If this test fails, you can still have a solicitor by paying privately for representation – our costs are competitive and will be dependent on the details of each individual case. | <urn:uuid:7c603dd2-97ef-4772-b2ee-398946502f55> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://www.grayandcosolicitors.co.uk/legalaid/ | 2018-11-17T13:24:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743521.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117123417-20181117145417-00122.warc.gz | en | 0.940283 | 138 | [

From The Arthur Conan Doyle Encyclopedia
Arthur Conan Doyle was very fond of France. He spoke and wrote French, he studied the French History for his historical novels (such as The White Company, Sir Nigel, Brigadier Gerard...) and France was the location of his many fictions. He had a great uncle in Paris Michael Edward Conan. He visited France several times, and he transited via France in his numerous travels.

Conan Doyle visits to France
1876 : Paris
In june 1876, Arthur Conan Doyle returning from Feldkirch (Austria) visited his great uncle Michael Edward Conan and his wife Susan in Paris for several weeks. He gave an account of the visit in his auto-biography Memories and Adventures (1923):
« On my way back to England I stopped at Paris. Through all my life up to this point there had been an unseen grand-uncle, named Michael Conan, to whom I must now devote a paragraph. He came into the family from the fact that my father's father ("H. B.") had married a Miss Conan. Michael Conan, her brother, had been editor of "The Art Journal" and was a man of distinction, an intellectual Irishman of the type which originally founded the Sinn Fein movement. He was as keen on heraldry and genealogy as my mother, and he traced his descent in some circuitous way from the Dukes of Brittany, who were all Conans; indeed Arthur Conan was the ill-fated young Duke whose eyes were put out, according to Shakespeare, by King John. This uncle was my godfather, and hence my name Arthur Conan. He lived in Paris and had expressed a wish that his grand-nephew and godson, with whom he had corresponded, should call en passant. I ran my money affairs so closely, after a rather lively supper at Strasburg, that when I reached Paris I had just twopence in my pocket. As I could not well drive up and ask my uncle to pay the cab I left my trunk at the station and set forth on foot. I reached the river, walked along it, came to the foot of the Champs Elysées, saw the Arc de Triomphe in the distance, and then, knowing that the Avenue Wagram, where my uncle lived, was near there, I tramped it on a hot August day and finally found him. I remember that I was exhausted with the heat and the walking, and that when at the last gasp I saw a man buy a drink of what seemed to be porter by handing a penny to a man who had a long tin on his back, I therefore halted the man and spent one of my pennies on a duplicate drink. It proved to be liquorice and water, but it revived me when I badly needed it, and it could not be said that I arrived penniless at my uncle's, for I actually had a penny. So, for some penurious weeks, I was in Paris with this dear old volcanic Irishman, who spent the summer day in his shirt-sleeves, with a little dicky-bird of a wife waiting upon him. I am built rather on his lines of body and mind than on any of the Doyles. We made a true friendship, and then I returned to my home conscious that real life was about to begin. »
1891 : Paris
In march 1891, Arthur Conan Doyle and his wife Louisa arrived in Paris when they returned from Vienna (Austria) where Arthur planned to study and specialize in eye medicine. Conan Doyle told in his memories :
« With the spring my work at Vienna had finished, if it can be said to have ever begun, and we returned via Paris, putting in a few days there with Landolt, who was the most famous French oculist of his time. »
Landolt was Professor Edmond Landolt who was renowned for Optometry and author of The Refraction and Accomodation of the Eye and their Anomalies (1886).
1894 : Paris
In april 1894, Arthur Conan Doyle arrived in Paris when he returned from Davos (Switzerland) and he stayed at Hotel Byron. While he was at the Grand Café of the Louvre, he tried to count the red-ribbon gentlemen as they passed (Legion of Honour decoration).

In may and june 1916, Arthur Conan Doyle visited the Western Front in France :
- Arthur Conan Doyle crossed the Channel on board the destroyer HMS Zulu from Newhaven to (logically) Dieppe.
- He wen north and met with the young soldiers from the 20th Royal Fusiliers near the front.
- He attended a medal presentation in the market square of Bethune (Pas-de-Calais department) where was British Generals Munro, Haking, and Landon and a French General.
- He then visited the Loos Salient.
- He had the great pleasure to see his young brother Innes, who had been promoted to Colonel, and was acting as Assistant Adjutant-General of the 24th Division, the Head-quarters of which were at Bailleul (Nord department), where he dined at mess and occupied a small lodging in the town, which was about six miles from the front.
- He had a view on the Ypres Salient, and in the afternoon his brother drove him to the Square at Ypres (Belgium).
- He left the front on 1st june as he had been asked (or ordered) to lunch at the General Head-quarters at Montreuil (Pas-de-Calais), the funny old town on a hill which he had learned to know well in days of peace. There he met General Douglas Haig.
- He visited the front between Vimy Ridge and the long hill of Notre-Dame de Lorette (Pas-de-Calais).
- The next day he travelled through Acheux and Mailly (Somme) where he met his son Kingsley, captain and Medical officer of the 1st Hampshire Regiment. One hour later he met another member of his household, for his Secretary, Alfred H. Wood of the 5th Sussex Territorials, was Town Major of Beauquesne (a few kilometers west from Mailly).
- Then he went on to Amiens with Major Wood and his friend packed him into the train to Paris, where he stayed two days at Hotel Crillon.
- In Paris, he met Mr. Robert Donald, editor of the "Daily Chronicle", which introduced him to the French politician George Clémenceau.
- Conan Doyle and Robert Donald decided to visit the French lines in the Argonne. From Paris they passed in Villers-Cotterêt before arriving at Soissons, where they met Leo Maxse, editor of the "National Review," and M. Chevillon, who had written a book on British co-operation in the war.
- Their expedition carried them to Châlons and from Châlons they drove some twenty miles East entering the Forest of Argonne to Sainte Menehould where they met General Hennoque of the 10th Division, and a Colonel that Conan Doyle called Cyrano due to his resemblance with Cyrano de Bergerac (see photos below). They dined with General Antoine and General Humbert. The latter asked to Conan Doyle "Sherlock Holmes, est-ce qu'il est un soldat dans l'armée Anglaise?" (Is Sherlock Holmes a soldier in the British Army?) and Conan Doyle replied "Mais, mon général, il est trop vieux pour le service" (He is too old to be on duty). There was general laughter.
- They visited the front lines and could see Verdun and some cotes like The Observatory and Fille Morte.
- After three days visit, they went back to Paris.
Conan Doyle wrote an account of his visit to the French Front: A Glimpse of the French Line which was collected in A Visit to Three Fronts (British, French and Italian), and he started to write accounts of the battles: The British Campaign in France (21 articles).

1917 : France
Late january or early february 1917, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote to his mother that he shall go to 'France about 12 february for a day or two as Sir Douglas Haig wanted him over some matter of the history.
1920 : Marseilles
Late august 1920, on his route to Australia and New Zealand, Arthur Conan Doyle and family disembark in Marseilles where he saw some of the Senegal troops in the streets — a whole battalion of them marching down for re-embarkation.
1921 : Marseilles, Paris, Aisne battlefields, Colombes, St. Jean de Luz
Marseilles, Paris, Meaux, Château Thierry, La Ferté Millon, Belleau, Dormans, Bligny, Rheims, Chemin des Dames, Soissons, Paris, Colombes, St. Jean de Luz
In march 1921, returning from his 7-month trip in Australia and New Zealand, Arthur Conan Doyle and family arrived in Marseilles again where they stayed at Hotel du Louvre on the Cannebière.
From Marseilles, they took a long stride to Paris where they stayed "under the friendly and comfortable roof" of the Hôtel du Louvre. The first visit which he paid in Paris was to Dr. Geley, head of the Institut Metaphysique, at 89, Avenue Niel. Conan Doyle volunteered to give an exhibition of his Australian slides, and they invited a distinguished audience of men of science to see them. When Conan Doyle found that his box of slides was in the luggage which Major Wood had taken on with him in the "Naldera" to England, he was horrified. They were rushed over by aeroplane, however, in response to his telegram, and so the situation was saved. He made a one hour and a quarter private lecture in French which was attended by Mr. Charles Richet, Mr. Gabrielle Delanne, and a number of other men of science. After the lecture he attended an exhibition from a medium named Aubert. The next day he had the honour of meeting Camille Flammarion, the famous astronomer, who was deeply engaged in psychic study. He met Madame Bisson and Professor Jules Courtier of the Sorbonne as well.
Arthur Conan Doyle, his wife Jean and his son Denis went for a two days visit of the Aisne battlefields, "paying their respects incidentally to Bossuet at Meaux, Fenelon at Château Thierry, and Racine at La Ferté Millon". They followed on the same route than the taxi cabs of the Marne, passed near Belleau woods, then Dormans, Bligny, Rheims, the Chemin des Dames where Denis found a Prussian helmet and ended at Soissons before they came back to Paris.
During their stay in Paris they went to see the Anglo-French Rugby match at the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir in Colombes. Conan Doyle said The French have not quite got the sporting spirit, and there was some tendency to hoot whenever a decision was given for the English, but the play of their team was most excellent, and England only won by the narrow margin of 10 to 6. Marshal Foch was present. Result was 10-6 for England.
While in Paris, Conan Doyle heard that his brother-in-law, E. W. Hornung, the author of "Raffles", was dying at St. Jean de Luz in the Pyrenees. He started off at once, but was only in time to be present at his funeral.
1925 : Paris
Early september 1925, Arthur Conan Doyle attended and was chairman at a meeting of the International Spiritualist Congress in Paris.
During his stay, Conan Doyle was interviewed by French journalists : he replied in French in Une interview de Conan Doyle avant le Congrès des esprits (7 september 1925) and A French View of Conan Doyle (12 september 1925).

Posted Jun 26, 2017 by Martin Armstrong
China’s core indices continue to make ground having made their mark on the world stage last week. Both Hang Seng and Shanghai closed almost 1% higher building on recent gains as money is being reallocated towards domestic ventures rather than international, as was the talk today. The Nikkei inched higher but only as the JPY lost ground again. The Yen was seen around mid 111’s as we approached the US close. No trade in the SENSEX today as we begin the EID holidays.
In Europe some talk was surrounding the pre-emptive strike of the two regional Italian banks (Veneto and Banca Popolare di Vicenza) that were wound down and assets given to Intesa Sanpaolo for a small sum. Having seen the events in Spain just a couple of weeks ago, there was little surprise that Intesa completed the trade being the second largest bank rumoured to normally shy away from risky business. This news gave a positive boost to Financials, the Euro, core European indices and peripheral spreads in the fixed-income market. Economic data provided additional support for Europe after the German IFO released better than expected at 115.1, compared to the previous 114.6. In the UK the conservative party has finally agreed terms wit the DUP which boosted GBP. However, this strength did not last long and by close of London had reversed to close small down on the day. In US trading it continued to trade a little heavy with prices last seen trading a touch over the 1.27 level.
US finished mixed Monday with Financials helping some of the ailing Tech sectors after the FED and Italian moves over the weekend. Energy prices bounced after last weeks losses but had little effect on core stock. The fact that Europe is finally looking at ways to support their banking sector is constructive, but when comparing European and US banks health there is still a substantial difference in favour of US names. All core US indices closed mixed as the DXY made a small gain and was last seen 97.12. Given the overall confidence the Italian banking sector provided was reason enough for a $12 decline in the price of gold ($1242 last seen).
2’s closed 1.33% (-1bp), 10’s 2.13% (-1bp), 30’s 2.70% (-1bp), Bund 0.24% (-1bp) closes the US/Germany spread unchanged at +189bp. France 0.59% (-1bp), Italy 1.88% (-3bp), Greece 5.30% (-2bp), Turkey 10.16% (u/c), Portugal 2.88% (+2bp) and Gilts 1.01% (-2bp). | <urn:uuid:c3b651d7-4c25-4b28-a037-da68248796b1> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/uncategorized/market-talk-june-26th-2017/ | 2018-11-18T19:23:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744561.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118180446-20181118202446-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.970921 | 568 | [

Here is some common sense coming from across the big pond, (The Atlantic Ocean), from a member of the European Parliament. This kind of comment, and clear thinking is rarely reported in the American mainstream media. I wonder why? And the IPCC says the "debate is over"? Either they are trying to fool everyone, or they are lying, because the debate among politicians and surely among scientists, is far from over. Be very skeptical of what you hear on the mainstream nightly news.
THE SANE MAN OF EUROPE SPEAKS
An email from Roger Helmer [[email protected]], Conservative Member of the European Parliament
You may be interested in the letter below which I sent today to the Environment Editor of the Daily Telegraph, Charles Clover:
I was surprised to read in your piece in the DT yesterday that "no politician from a British party would side with the flat-earthers" (in your charming phrase) in the climate debate. I am afraid you are wrong. I myself have been campaigning against climate alarmism for some time. Only in April I conducted a major and very successful conference presenting the case against global warming hysteria, here in the European parliament in Brussels. My key-note speaker was former Chancellor Lord Lawson of Blaby, who shares my view on the issue. I also took the issue to a packed fringe meeting at the Conservative Party Conference in October.
The evidence shows that climate drives CO2 levels, not vice versa. And as an erstwhile mathematician, I know that the climate forcing effect of atmospheric CO2 is not linear, and certainly not exponential (as hinted at in Al Gore's mendacious disaster movie). It is logarithmic. We are already well up the curve, and further increases in CO2 levels will have a marginal effect on climate.
In the eighteenth century William Herschel showed that sunspots drive the price of wheat. We can now explain this phenomenon -- sunspots lead to an increase in the Sun's magnetic field, which reduces the cosmic ray flux in our upper atmosphere and reduces cloud formation, leading to warmer weather, higher crop yields and lower grain prices. Yet now you describe those who recognise that the Sun drives climate as "flat-earthers".
You would do well to read your fellow columnist Jan Moir in today's paper. "I've yet to meet the person, politician or otherwise, who takes carbon emissions seriously". This is my experience. While organisations, companies, political parties and the media buy into climate alarmism at the official level, I am astonished by the large numbers of well-informed people who admit privately that it's nonsense.
This is a scare like the Millennium Bug. We shall look back from the cold winters of the 2020s and be astonished at our gullibility.To be fair, the Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph have given a good platform to the other side of the debate. But I am disappointed that you personally seem to see no need to report in a balanced way, but have chosen to act as a cheerleader for the alarmists. | <urn:uuid:6bc99531-c38d-4a5f-b847-35c5a734c02c> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://petesplace-peter.blogspot.com/2007/11/some-refreshing-cool-clean-air-from.html | 2018-11-20T00:21:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746171.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119233342-20181120015342-00442.warc.gz | en | 0.960177 | 633 | [

If you really thought producers wouldn’t find a way to bring back Storm Shadow for G.I. Joe 2, you’re adorable. THR reports that Lee Byung-hun (who stars in the critically acclaimed I Saw the Devil) will reprise his role as the villainous ninja in the upcoming sequel. As we previously reported, the film is currently looking for a director as original helmer Stephen Sommers will not be returning. Shooting is expected to begin this June with an eye towards a summer 2012 release date. Zombieland screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick penned the script. | <urn:uuid:ede98e0c-da5b-4373-a31c-65ef49e9fd89> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://collider.com/g-i-joe-2-storm-shadow/ | 2018-11-21T09:57:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113943-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.944073 | 127 | [

For our latest installment of Bands You Should Know, we are featuring one of our favorite up and comers, Your Friend. Taryn Miller A.K.A. Your Friend., is currently based out of Lawrence, Kansas and is finishing up her west coast tour. Lucky for us, she stopped by the Bootleg in Los Angeles and invited us to come check out the show. I have been a fan of hers for quite sometime now, but after seeing the live set, I was sold for life. Some bands go on stage and perform note for note what you’ve heard from their studio work, while others deliver an individual experience and this set was that experience. Her unique recipe of folk progressive rock takes you by the hand and guides you through a mind bending voyage, concluding in a feeling that can only be described as “the other side of the pillow”.
I believe to truly understand an artist’s work, you have to get to know them yourself. We asked Your Friend. some questions to help further that understanding. Check out our interview and a couple of our favorite tracks below:
The Eargazm: How did you come up with the name Your Friend.?
Your Friend: The project began as an unexpected solo expedition. When deciding on what to call it, I drew upon the relationships I had built thus far in my life. The project seemed intimate, and I liked the idea of playing smaller house shows at the time. I can reference a lot of invaluable moments in my life that were the result of an encounter with a stranger that felt really tangible even though the moment was fleeting. The word, “friend,” and what it means to you can vary greatly. In France, for instance, they would not necessarily always reference someone as their friend, depending on the context of their relationship. They would call someone an acquaintance before offering that term up. Friendships are deeper in that sense. I treat it the same way, except I am less withholding of the label. I base it off of experience and the connection that is developed instantly over a long period of time. Connecting in that way sustains me greatly.
The Eargazm: What did it feel like the moment you realized you were getting national attention?
Your Friend: I had self released the EP in August of 2013, and at that point it was so that I would stop driving myself mad with indecision. Documenting the songs in that physical form was really important to me at the time. It went up on bandcamp and it was bonkers. I was getting orders from Finland and other far out places. I showed up on some blogs and received really amazing emails. It was really small scale but was so huge to me. It wasn’t until after the announcement from Domino that I realized how weird the internet world is and it can be hard to exist within in it. Being featured in Spin was really a surreal moment. I have been reading that publication for so long and to see a photo of myself under the website banner was totally flooring.
The Eargazm:When was the first time you performed in front of a live audience and what was that experience like?
Your Friend: When you say performed live, do you mean in general or under this project? I haven’t been playing as Your Friend for very long in relation to how many different projects I’ve been involved in. The first show I technically played as Your Friend was a house show with some friends and folks from Chicago. It was a last minute decision made that day, hours before it was to start but may have been the best decision I’ve made in a long time. I was almost panicking after I asked to open. It was an impulse decision, and I hadn’t played out publicly in Lawrence yet at that point. I only had a few songs ready at the time but had been working on some things that would eventually end up on the EP. I ended up writing Pallet an hour before that show. The situation was really ideal. My favorite shows had always been held in houses and it was intimate and beautiful. I barely knew anyone there, so I didn’t look up until after every song. I even tried to do one off the cuff and couldn’t get my loop pedal to sync up. It was hilarious and everyone kept encouraging me, laughing, and cheering me on. I ended up getting it to work. It was really positive overall and I look back on it fondly. It was a really important show for me. The catalyst, if you will.
The Eargazm: Who/What would you say influenced you the most in pursuing a career in music?
Your Friend: There was an innate, gut feeling that drew me to where I exist now. But, as far as current influence, it’s always the people I surround myself with, the other bands that I play in, and the community of Lawrence that supports it all.
The Eargazm: If you could perform alongside any artist dead or alive, who would it be?
Your Friend: Ah shit, this is the hardest question! Dead? I’d say Freddie Mercury. To hear that voice from a stage, in the monitors would be otherworldly. Alive, Jimmy Page. He will forever be my guitar hero. My dream collaboration would be with Jana Hunter, Jenn Wassner, and Taylor Kirk of Timber Timbre though. All at once.
The Eargazm: Where is your favorite venue you’ve performed at since being on tour?
Your Friend: The venues so far have all had their own personal quirks and charm. It has been so amazing to visit other venues for the first time. I’d have to say though, Mahall’s in Lakewood, OH was kind of a dream for me. It was an old, magnificent, venue with a bowling alley inside of it. I was a serious bowler in my youth. I did the whole leagues and tournaments thing.
The Eargazm: What are some up and coming bands or artists from Lawrence we should be keeping an ear out for?
Your Friend: Look for the shell (Whatever Forever’s logo). Anything and everybody involved in that collective are blood to me at this point and I genuinely adore everything that comes out on the label. Genuine people making genuinely beautiful and real sounds. I don’t think that will ever change. I only see good things for Whatever Forever and am honored to be a family member.
The Eargazm: What is your favorite restaurant in Lawrence?
Your Friend: When I’m treating myself, 715. They offer a gluten free option on their pasta and I always leave there completely content with my decision to go there.
The Eargazm: Would you rather be dropped out of a helicopter in the middle of the ocean or buried alive?
Your Friend: I deal with rough bouts of claustraphobia, so I’d say that I’d rather be dropped into a vast space. With that being said, I’m terrified of drowning and sharks, so either way I think it would be an unpleasant experience. But, water is much more pleasant when it surrounds your body than the dry earth. I’ll go with helicopter on this one.
The Eargazm:What are your thoughts on the legalization of Gay Marriage?
Your Friend: Love is the realest thing to me and I’m in complete support of it being available and acknowledged to/by every single human being. I see the duality of fear and love pretty blatantly, and the fear of it just happens to be the greater force at the moment. I am hopeful that it will subside. Things are looking brighter by the day.
The Eargazm: What are your thoughts on the legalization of Marijuana?
Your Friend: Certain things that are legal are harsher than this plant. I have only seen how beneficial it is. It heals.
The Eargazm: If you had one word of advice for a musician who is just starting out, what would it be?
Your Friend: Trust the process. My old roommate as well as a current bandmate wrote this on a napkin and left it on our kitchen table once. It’s the advice and mantra I’ve kept with me ever since. | <urn:uuid:f1ba5d29-696d-43b9-a4dd-6ff75fc89170> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://theeargazm.com/bands-know-friend-exclusive-interview/ | 2018-11-21T09:45:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113943-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.979263 | 1,741 | [

C is for Character
The lesson this week in Bright Beginnings was: Have a good attitude!
Verse: Be strong in character and ready for anything! James 1:4
Story: Daniel 6: 6-23 “Daniel in the Lions Den”
Prayer: Dear Jesus, help me to have a good attitude in everything I do. Help me to trust in you so that I will be ready for anything. Amen.
Here are some ways to take the lesson home this week!
You are a model of Christ to your child. Pray with your child daily, teaching them to say “thank you” to God. Children will learn to trust in Jesus by watching you. And remember, you can do this in Christ’s strength–not your own (Philippians 4:13).
Have your child help you act out the story of Daniel and the lions. Ask them to roar like a lion while you pretend to be Daniel. (You can even make a little blanket fort as your cave)! Kneel on the floor with your hands folded and pray. Show your little one how to trust in God so that they will be ready for anything!
Invite your child to help you with a simple chore around the house, then sing a song as you do it together. Remind them that God wants us to have a good attitude in everything we do, and singing can help us do just that! What else shows that you have a good attitude? See what your child comes up with (smiling, sharing, helping others).
In Bright Beginnings, we will be Sailing the C’s as we finish out the beautiful Michigan summer!
Each week we will be talking about one of the C’s of character and learning that everything we do is for God–and that He can help us “sail the seas of life.”
July 28 – CHARACTER
“Be strong in character and ready for anything.” James 1:4
August 4 – COMPETENCE
God gives us what it takes.” 2 Corinthians 3:5-6
August 11 – CHEMISTRY
“Love one another.” Romans 12:10
August 18 – CALLING
“God chose me.” Galatians 1:15
August 25 – COURAGE
“Do not be afraid.” Joshua 1:9
September 1 – COMPASSION
“Be kind to one another.” Ephesians 4:32
September 8 – COMMITMENT
“Trust your work to the Lord.” Proverbs 16:3
September 15 – CELEBRATION
“I came so that everyone would have a great life.” John 10:10
In the Bright Beginnings hallway the word on Sunday was: L I S T E N
Listen is a word that kids hear a lot growing up: Listen, I told you …. Are you listening? Can you sit still and listen? I’m going to tell you something important…listen very carefully…
On Sunday our kids heard a story about listening–the way the people gathered around Jesus to listen to the Word of God and how some fishermen listened to his directions. Read about it!
Story: Luke 5:1-11
Bible verse: “Be quick to listen and slow to speak.” James 1:19
Prayer: Dear God, Thank you for the Bible. I am glad that I can learn all about you. Please help me to listen at church and to my teachers so that I can learn even more. Help me to listen at home to my parents also. I am glad that you always listen to me when I talk to you! Amen.
Take it home this week:
As you listen to your children this week, intentionally make eye contact with them. Notice how their eyes light up with expression when they know they have your full attention! Think about how God is pleased when we focus on him…when he has our full attention.
Help your kids practice listening at story time. Read a story and praise them for listening well. Give them opportunities to identify colors, shapes, animals, and interesting things in the pictures…while you listen attentively to them!
Hang a blank piece of paper on your refrigerator and every time you catch your child listening to your instructions, give them a sticker to place on the paper (or draw a star with a crayon). Make it a challenge to see how many stickers they can collect! | <urn:uuid:53fabaeb-79b7-4911-acba-8e50be6a03c7> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://startingsmall.net/2013/07/ | 2018-11-21T10:53:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113943-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.937109 | 950 | [

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of tire giant Cooper Tire & Rubber
So what: Cooper Tire shareholders can send flowers and thank-you letters to KeyCorp analyst Brett Hoselton, who downgraded the stock from buy to hold, pointing out the looming expiration of tariffs on Chinese tire imports. With the tariff set to go away on September 26, Hoselton expects that Cooper will have to lower prices 10% to 15% to respond to competitors. For obvious reasons, that's not great for the bottom line.
Now what: Hoselton's perspective seems to be very reasonable, particularly when you consider the fact that Cooper Tire's stock, even after today's drop, is up nearly 100% from a year ago. On the other hand, the stock trades at under 15 times 2011 earnings per share, and less than eight times expected 2012 EPS. The latter ratio could rise if other analysts get on the same page as Hoselton and lower their expectations for the company's full-year earnings, but it seems like a lot of pessimism may already be built into the stock price.
As with any analyst call, it's important to remember that this is just the opinion of one person. For that reason, I find it questionable whether a 10% revaluation was really in order. However, investors certainly shouldn't ignore this warning -- if you own Cooper Tire, or have it on your radar, you'll want to make sure you have the tariff impact factored into your own expectations.

Virgin Media has told TechRadar that it is still very much focused on bringing HD content to its viewers, despite not coming to an agreement to broadcast Sky's basic channels in high definition.
After more than 18 months, Virgin Media and Sky announced that they had come to terms on bringing Sky's basic channels back to the cable platform, but many were surprised that the deal only encompassed standard definition channels.
This meant that Virgin – one of only three HD-enabled platforms in the UK – would continue to broadcast only one 'linear' or live broadcast channel – BBC HD, on top of an extensive package of video on demand (VOD) HD programming.
Still on the agenda
However, speaking to TechRadar, a Virgin Media spokesperson insisted that HD was still very much on the agenda.
"We are in on-going discussion with a number of broadcasters with regards to new SD and HD channels," said the spokesperson.
"As part our content strategy, we constantly evaluate the merits of new channels and programmes which could add to our already diverse range of programming.
"With increasing consumer interest in High Definition (HD) content, we are actively pursuing rights to HD programmes for our leading video on demand service and have already made a wide range of programmes available," the spokesperson added
"This includes landmark programmes such as Planet Earth, Desperate Housewives, Band of Brothers and The Sopranos as well as chart topping HD movies.
"We will continue to look for opportunities to add more great HD programmes as they become available, as well as working with content providers, such as the BBC, to provide HD programmes within the popular iPlayer service."
In what can only be described as interesting times for broadcasting, platform limitations are becoming increasingly apparent across the board.
Virgin Media's on demand service over cable is streets ahead of the satellite broadcasters' efforts - with BSkyB likely to seek out an 'VOD over IP' service which ties into their Sky Broadband offering in the coming year as a solution.
But in terms of HD, Sky's larger bandwidth and more efficient encryption methods means that it can carry a whole wealth of linear channels.
Virgin Media will no doubt be looking at a solution to bringing more linear HD to its viewers in the coming months, but in the meantime its focus will remain on serving high-definition programs on demand. | <urn:uuid:8d40d701-3242-445d-a9b1-c139d1d1982d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.techradar.com/news/television/virgin-media-we-re-still-focused-on-hd-482321 | 2018-11-21T11:09:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039747665.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121092625-20181121113943-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.962201 | 481 | [

New American Standard Bible
Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us."
King James Bible
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
Darby Bible Translation
And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done to us? But a little and one of the people might have lain with thy wife, and thou wouldest have brought a trespass on us.
World English Bible
Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!"
Young's Literal Translation
And Abimelech saith, 'What is this thou hast done to us? as a little thing one of the people had lain with thy wife, and thou hadst brought upon us guilt;'
Genesis 26:10 Parallel
There are few subjects on which the Lord's own people are more astray than on the subject of giving. They profess to take the Bible as their own rule of faith and practice, and yet in the matter of Christian finance, the vast majority have utterly ignored its plain teachings and have tried every substitute the carnal mind could devise; therefore it is no wonder that the majority of Christian enterprises in the world today are handicapped and crippled through the lack of funds. Is our giving to be …
Arthur W. Pink—Tithing
An Obscured vision
Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done."
Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, "Behold, certainly she is your wife! How then did you say, 'She is my sister '?" And Isaac said to him, "Because I said, 'I might die on account of her.'"
So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you deceived me?"

Amazon Go, a cashier- and cash-free shopping experience from Amazon, has garnered headlines, some consternation and a lot of oohs and ahhs from the tech press.
But now the access journalism, tours and fun facts have passed and it's time to look at the fallout, the impact on business, and how Amazon Go can ultimately add to Amazon's bottom line.
Obviously, Amazon Go deserves some play. After all, it's downright bizarre how lines for Amazon Go can go around the block all so folks can have a shopping experience without a line.
Also: What it's like inside Amazon's futuristic, automated store (CNET) | Shopping at Amazon Go is really freakin' fast (Video) | Amazon Go launches: The automated retail revolution begins (TechRepublic) | Here comes the future of retail (again) brought to you by tech vendors | Robot fired from grocery store for utter incompetence
Take a look at our video up top for a quick tour of the moving parts.
The human factors
- How many humans are needed to iron out the inevitable issues? Watch any self-checkout row at a grocery store and you see the limits of automation -- and the ability of people to navigate technology. Generally speaking, any person with more than four items at a self-checkout area stumbles and requires help. At Amazon Go, there will inevitably be similar issues -- even though the approach where you simply walk out with goods may eliminate some friction. Read more: AI and jobs: Where humans are better than algorithms, and vice versa | Five tech jobs that AI and automation will make radically more efficient
- What happens when things get complicated? For now, the Amazon Go app enables you to ask for a refund without returns and no questions asked. That approach is fine for a beta, but should Amazon Go scale it's a margin hit and then some.
- Privacy. Amazon Go is largely powered by a surveillance system. Obviously, this surveillance is necessary to prevent theft, verify purchases and ultimately figure out who you are. Given the lines that flow around the block at the first Amazon Go in Seattle, these potential privacy issues don't matter much.
- The digital/economic divide. One of the big headlines on launch day for Amazon Go was that the store doesn't take food stamps. The reason for that is obvious: Food stamps are a more complicated transaction and you can't use them to plug into an app-controlled payment system. At scale, Amazon Go will ultimately be seen as anti-poor.
- Jobs. Amazon Go is nuking the concept of cashiers and if the rest of retail follows (likely to some degree) many jobs will be lost. Amazon Go will be one more anecdote to the ongoing discussion around how automation, technology and artificial intelligence are killing jobs over time.
Impact on retail
- Can Whole Foods go cashier free?You can't help but look at Amazon Go and wonder how much of this technology will wind up in Whole Foods. Keep in mind, that Amazon associates are in the store to help customers and make food. These higher value tasks are already at Whole Foods. What's unclear is whether the Amazon Go technology can apply at scale to Whole Foods. We'll find out as the Amazon Go beta plays out. Read more: How to automate the enterprise: Your guide to getting started
- Other retailers will have to fast follow Amazon Go. Amazon Go took four years of technology tweaking to get right and it's unclear how much of Amazon's approach is proprietary. Rest assured that other convenience-based retailers -- CVS, Walgreens, 7-Eleven and Wawa -- need to take note and figure out how humans differentiate them. For a convenience store like 7-Eleven, the best bet is to crib some of the approaches used in Japan's 7-Eleven outlets. Little of that technology has made it to the US. Read more: Amazon doesn't sweat competitors, but every other company needs to answer the Amazon question
- Sensor proliferation in retail. Amazon Go relies on technologies such as sensors, deep learning and other new technologies. The proof-of-concept store from Amazon will likely give retailers more of a reason to accelerate Internet of things projects that were primarily focused on supply chain and distribution. Read more: What is the IoT? Everything you need to know about the Internet of Things right now
Impact on Amazon
- There is tremendous public relations impact for Amazon Go. Sure, there are concerns that Amazon has too much power, but Amazon Go does illustrate how the company is innovative. That innovation storyline trumps any concerns about the future of cashier jobs.
- How much of this Amazon Go experience can be packaged as an Amazon Web Services experience? Much of the technology behind Amazon Go is available as an AWS service. It's quite possible that Amazon Go's backend can help sell more AWS to enterprises. Amazon Go could be a nice halo showpiece for AWS.

- Amazon Go and Prime. All you need today for Amazon Go is an Amazon account. In the future and at scale, rest assured that the Amazon Go approach will be tied to Prime somehow. For what it's worth, Amazon is estimated to garner an additional $300 million in revenue from its monthly price increase from $11 a month to $13 a month, according to Cowen analyst John Blackledge. By linking a concept like Amazon Go to Prime, Amazon may alter its household income Prime subscriber mix. Here's what it looks like today. | <urn:uuid:59ce5b52-c6f8-40fc-8283-0cac985ae83d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.zdnet.com/article/amazon-go-heres-a-look-at-the-impact-on-human-jobs-retail-innovation-amazons-bottom-line/ | 2018-11-13T22:56:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741510.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20181113215316-20181114001316-00082.warc.gz | en | 0.944205 | 1,183 | [

The celebrities and pop stars you know and love also happen to be among the royal families that rule over you. After all, the royal families, born with the luck of primogeniture, are also the largest shareholders in terms of controlling ownership in all the movie studios, record labels, and television networks. Considering these auspicious circumstances, does one really think these royals would be content sitting around in their palaces all day? No, they would want to ensure every effort was made to increase the profitability of their shareholdings, and to increase the economic value of their family portfolios. And, would they be content to scour the globe to look for talent to star on stage and screen? Most likely, they would promote from within, choosing to position themselves as celebrities, movie stars, and popular singers.
Vanity dictates they want to be worshiped, adored, and admired.
Of course, this formula would not be feasible if they did not present themselves to the public without hiding behind a clever facade.
Therefore, they choose to operate under pseudonyms.
The pseudonyms these royals create and utilize help to conceal not only their true identity, but so that Hollywood’s prevailing royal nepotism remains clandestine. In the last installment, one began to outline and discuss the ruling Jesuit bloodlines. Among the more prominent of those bloodlines is the House of Orsini. While the Jesuit House of Farnese presides over the Rothschild’s also known as the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha royal line in Britain, the House of Orsini presides over the Spanish royal throne, and over the span of many centuries has produced a vast array of Cardinals, Popes, merchant bankers, prominent nobility, and high-level Vatican clerics.
One should not believe the historical chronology of the official accounts claiming the Jesuits were established by Ignatius Loyola in the sixteenth century. That is merely another cover story created for mass consumption, and to hide the ultimate truth. The truth is, the Jesuit order, thirteen ruling bloodline families collectively operating under many names throughout history, going back to the days of the fall of the Roman republic, represent the Zoroastrian priesthood that has dominated not just the religious and philosophical sphere, but all areas of human endeavor, including science, politics, art, and most importantly world governance.
In addition to this, these ruling elite families have produced some of Hollywood’s most renowned and award winning performers, beloved by public and critic alike. This installment shall examine the Jesuit ruling bloodline known as the Jesuit Houses of Orsini and Farnese. Though their formal and royal names may seem unrecognizable, one shall be most surprised to discover their faces and their Hollywood names to be more than familiar.

All of our members are encouraged to take the time to consider why they are part of Creston Fire. I do think we do it because we like the excitement and some adrenaline rush, and I know we all like the feeling of helping others when they are having a bad day. I also like to think that maybe we are all part of Creston Fire because we like being a positive part of our community (and by community I mean our District as a whole), a part that may not always be about driving big red trucks, running equipment that can be used to extricate people from a vehicle, stopping bleeding or doing CPR, doing an interior fire attack, etc. There would seem to be much more to our choice of being volunteer Fire Fighters.
Many times I have made the statement to our members that "people may/will quickly forget what you did to help them but they will long remember how you made them feel". Yes, while our primary function of putting out fires, caring for the wounded and rescuing people from their “people” tricks has to be at the forefront, there is much more to being a volunteer Fire Fighter. When we are, or can be, at the center of people's lives, our members strive to be the kind of Firefighters that people can look up to, not because we are Fire Fighters but because of how we make them feel. If you choose to become a volunteer Firefighter with Creston Fire Department, I suspect you will most likely find there is much more to being a Creston Fire Fighter than being just a Fire Fighter--it is more about being a positive part of your community. | <urn:uuid:ad452fbc-e542-4f63-b3f3-876fac4ad0c2> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://crestonfire.org/blog/posts/764/What-it-means-to-be-a-Creston-Fire-Department-Fire-Fighter | 2018-11-16T10:00:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743007.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116091028-20181116113028-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.97704 | 331 | [

“It was well after 3:00 a.m., but to people in Billings, Montana, it was never too late to stand up to the forces of political correctness. Thanks to Mayor Tom Hanel, that’s exactly what the largest city in the state did — beating back a dangerous bathroom bill that would have literally opened the doors of Billings’s public showers, locker rooms, and restrooms to both genders in a misguided show of ‘tolerance.’ After a 15-year fight, the council killed the proposal 6-5, with Mayor Hanel casting the deciding vote. ‘I needed to ask myself, is this fair to everyone, beneficial to everyone? Will it build goodwill and friendships? I can’t say for sure,’ he told the crowded room in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The Montana Family Foundation, which has pushed back against these campaigns for a decade and a half, said the Left is only lobbying for these ordinances in places like Billings to ‘(target) Christians and other religious groups who find the homosexual/LGBT lifestyle morally objectionable.'” – Hate group leader Tony Perkins, via press release. | <urn:uuid:e79dbbad-e7a2-4fdf-a5d9-eedaff88b83d> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.joemygod.com/2014/08/perkins-cheers-defeat-of-billings-bi/ | 2018-11-17T18:30:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743717.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117164722-20181117185828-00011.warc.gz | en | 0.958538 | 241 | [

Ants can navigate over long distances between their nest and food sites using visual cues [1, 2]. Recent studies show that this capacity is undiminished when walking backward while dragging a heavy food item [3-5]. This challenges the idea that ants use egocentric visual memories of the scene for guidance [1, 2, 6]. Can ants use their visual memories of the terrestrial cues when going backward? Our results suggest that ants do not adjust their direction of travel based on the perceived scene while going backward. Instead, they maintain a straight direction using their celestial compass. This direction can be dictated by their path integrator but can also be set using terrestrial visual cues after a forward peek. If the food item is too heavy to enable body rotations, ants moving backward drop their food on occasion, rotate and walk a few steps forward, return to the food, and drag it backward in a now-corrected direction defined by terrestrial cues. Furthermore, we show that ants can maintain their direction of travel independently of their body orientation. It thus appears that egocentric retinal alignment is required for visual scene recognition, but ants can translate this acquired directional information into a holonomic frame of reference, which enables them to decouple their travel direction from their body orientation and hence navigate backward. This reveals substantial flexibility and communication between different types of navigational information: from terrestrial to celestial cues and from egocentric to holonomic directional memories.
Phytochrome photoreceptors in plants and microorganisms switch photochromically between two states, controlling numerous important biological processes. Although this phototransformation is generally considered to involve rotation of ring D of the tetrapyrrole chromophore, Ulijasz et al. (2010, Nature 463, 250-254) proposed that the A-ring rotates instead. Here, we apply MAS NMR to the two parent states of following studies of the 23-kDa GAF-domain fragment of phytochrome from Synechococcus OS-B'. Major changes occur at the A-ring covalent linkage to the protein as well as at the protein residue contact of ring D. Conserved contacts associated with the A-ring nitrogen rule out an A-ring photoflip, whereas loss of contact of the D-ring nitrogen to the protein implies movement of ring D. Although none of the methine bridges showed a chemical shift change comparable to those characteristic of the D-ring photoflip in canonical phytochromes, denaturation experiments showed conclusively that the same occurs in Synechococcus OS-B' phytochrome upon photoconversion. The results are consistent with the D-ring being strongly tilted in both states and the C15=C16 double bond undergoing a Z/E isomerization upon light absorption. More subtle changes are associated with the A-ring linkage to the protein. Our findings thus disprove A-ring rotation and are discussed in relation to the position of the D-ring, photoisomerization and photochromicity in the phytochrome family.

The response to haloperidol as a first-line neuroleptic and the pattern of neuroleptic rotation after haloperidol failure have not been well defined in palliative care. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of haloperidol as a first-line neuroleptic and the predictors associated with the need to rotate to a second neuroleptic.
Self-propelled bacteria can be integrated into synthetic micromachines and act as biological propellers. So far, proposed designs suffer from low reproducibility, large noise levels or lack of tunability. Here we demonstrate that fast, reliable and tunable bio-hybrid micromotors can be obtained by the self-assembly of synthetic structures with genetically engineered biological propellers. The synthetic components consist of 3D interconnected structures having a rotating unit that can capture individual bacteria into an array of microchambers so that cells contribute maximally to the applied torque. Bacterial cells are smooth swimmers expressing a light-driven proton pump that allows to optically control their swimming speed. Using a spatial light modulator, we can address individual motors with tunable light intensities allowing the dynamic control of their rotational speeds. Applying a real-time feedback control loop, we can also command a set of micromotors to rotate in unison with a prescribed angular speed.

A 3D numerical model of the earth’s core with a viscosity two orders of magnitude lower than the state of the art suggests a link between the observed westward drift of the magnetic field and superrotation of the inner core. In our model, the axial electromagnetic torque has a dominant influence only at the surface and in the deepest reaches of the core, where it respectively drives a broad westward flow rising to an axisymmetric equatorial jet and imparts an eastward-directed torque on the solid inner core. Subtle changes in the structure of the internal magnetic field may alter not just the magnitude but the direction of these torques. This not only suggests that the quasi-oscillatory nature of inner-core superrotation [Tkalčić H, Young M, Bodin T, Ngo S, Sambridge M (2013) The shuffling rotation of the earth’s inner core revealed by earthquake doublets. Nat Geosci 6:497-502.] may be driven by decadal changes in the magnetic field, but further that historical periods in which the field exhibited eastward drift were contemporaneous with a westward inner-core rotation. The model further indicates a strong internal shear layer on the tangent cylinder that may be a source of torsional waves inside the core.
When placing one hand on each side of a mirror and making synchronous bimanual movements, the mirror-reflected hand feels like one’s own hand that is hidden behind the mirror. We developed a novel mirror box illusion to investigate whether motoric, but not spatial, visuomotor congruence is sufficient for inducing multisensory integration, and importantly, if biomechanical constraints encoded in the body schema influence multisensory integration. Participants placed their hands in a mirror box in opposite postures (palm up, palm down), creating a conflict between visual and proprioceptive feedback for the hand behind the mirror. After synchronous bimanual hand movements in which the viewed and felt movements were motorically congruent but spatially in the opposite direction, participants felt that the hand behind the mirror rotated or completely flipped towards matching the hand reflection (illusory displacement), indicating facilitation of multisensory integration by motoric visuomotor congruence alone. Some wrist rotations are more difficult due to biomechanical constraints. We predicted that these biomechanical constraints would influence illusion effectiveness, even though the illusion does not involve actual limb movement. As predicted, illusory displacement increased as biomechanical constraints and angular disparity decreased, providing evidence that biomechanical constraints are processed in multisensory integration.
Nanomechanical devices have attracted the interest of a growing interdisciplinary research community, since they can be used as highly sensitive transducers for various physical quantities. Exquisite control over these systems facilitates experiments on the foundations of physics. Here, we demonstrate that an optically trapped silicon nanorod, set into rotation at MHz frequencies, can be locked to an external clock, transducing the properties of the time standard to the rod’s motion with a remarkable frequency stability f r/Δf r of 7.7 × 10(11). While the dynamics of this periodically driven rotor generally can be chaotic, we derive and verify that stable limit cycles exist over a surprisingly wide parameter range. This robustness should enable, in principle, measurements of external torques with sensitivities better than 0.25 zNm, even at room temperature. We show that in a dilute gas, real-time phase measurements on the locked nanorod transduce pressure values with a sensitivity of 0.3%.
Morphological and kinematic basis of the hummingbird flight stroke: scaling of flight muscle transmission ratio.
- Proceedings. Biological sciences / The Royal Society
- Published almost 7 years ago
Hummingbirds (Trochilidae) are widely known for their insect-like flight strokes characterized by high wing beat frequency, small muscle strains and a highly supinated wing orientation during upstroke that allows for lift production in both halves of the stroke cycle. Here, we show that hummingbirds achieve these functional traits within the limits imposed by a vertebrate endoskeleton and muscle physiology by accentuating a wing inversion mechanism found in other birds and using long-axis rotational movement of the humerus. In hummingbirds, long-axis rotation of the humerus creates additional wing translational movement, supplementing that produced by the humeral elevation and depression movements of a typical avian flight stroke. This adaptation increases the wing-to-muscle-transmission ratio, and is emblematic of a widespread scaling trend among flying animals whereby wing-to-muscle-transmission ratio varies inversely with mass, allowing animals of vastly different sizes to accommodate aerodynamic, biomechanical and physiological constraints on muscle-powered flapping flight.

Natural composites exhibit exceptional mechanical performance that often arises from complex fiber arrangements within continuous matrices. Inspired by these natural systems, we developed a rotational 3D printing method that enables spatially controlled orientation of short fibers in polymer matrices solely by varying the nozzle rotation speed relative to the printing speed. Using this method, we fabricated carbon fiber-epoxy composites composed of volume elements (voxels) with programmably defined fiber arrangements, including adjacent regions with orthogonally and helically oriented fibers that lead to nonuniform strain and failure as well as those with purely helical fiber orientations akin to natural composites that exhibit enhanced damage tolerance. Our approach broadens the design, microstructural complexity, and performance space for fiber-reinforced composites through site-specific optimization of their fiber orientation, strain, failure, and damage tolerance.
Objective: Solventless dry powder coating methods have many advantages compared to solvent-based methods: they are more economical, simpler, safer, more environmentally friendly and easier to scale up. The purpose of this study was to investigate a highly effective dry powder coating method using the mechanofusion system, a mechanochemical treatment equipped with high compressive and shearing force.Materials and methods: Acetaminophen (AAP) and carnauba wax (CW) were selected as core particles of the model drug and coating material, respectively. Mixtures of AAP and CW with and without talc were processed using the mechanofusion system.Results: Sustained AAP release was observed by selecting appropriate processing conditions for the rotation speed and the slit size. The dissolution rate of AAP processed with CW substantially decreased with an increase in talc content up to 40% of the amount of CW loaded. Increasing the coating amount by two-step addition of CW led to more effective coating and extended drug release. Scanning electron micrographs indicated that CW adhered and showed satisfactory coverage of the surface of AAP particles.Conclusion: Effective CW coating onto the AAP surface was successfully achieved by strictly controlling the processing conditions and the composition of core particles, coating material and glidant. Our mechanochemical dry powder coating method using the mechanofusion system is a simple and promising means of solventless pharmaceutical coating. | <urn:uuid:c1d55de7-09c3-401a-9986-fc7e5b263beb> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://scicombinator.com/concepts/rotation/articles | 2018-11-18T22:35:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039744750.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20181118221818-20181119003818-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.910281 | 2,465 | [

After a weekend of indulging in Thanksgiving dinner leftovers like pie, butter-soaked rolls, and stuffing, I decided I needed to step away from the food and refocus on healthy habits.
Even though the average American only gains between one and two pounds between Halloween and New Year’s, those pounds are hard to lose. In fact, roughly 75% of annual weight gain takes place during the holiday season.
Plus, if you put on just two pounds a year over the course of 10 years, you’ll gain 20 hard-to-lose pounds! This is what experts refer to as “creeping obesity” and unless you can avoid holiday weight gain, you’ll be hard-pressed to avoid the creep.
Balance Holiday Decadence and Healthy Habits
Over the course of the holiday season, you’ll be faced with decadent desserts, rich beverages, and holiday festivities that disrupt your normal eating routine. Most people don’t want to give up any holiday foods or activities. Indulging is okay…to a point.
Go ahead and celebrate, but make a commitment to celebrate with moderation and balance in mind. Don’t view this commitment as a form of self-denial; rather, view it as a way to enjoy the indulgences of the season without harming your health. If you can keep the pounds off now, you may not have to deal with managing your weight loss later!
Monitor Eating in Moderation
Some people monitor moderation by counting calories or using Weight Watchers points, but if you have a hard time keeping track, try these ways to stay on top of your holiday health:
1. Keep a Fitness and Nutrition Journal
Rather than writing down specific calorie intake and calorie burn, just keep an accurate account of what you eat and do. Being conscious of your own activities can really help you make healthy decisions. After all, it’s much easier to avoid hitting the gym if you conveniently forget how much eggnog you indulged in last night. But if you write it down, it’s much harder to deny the evidence.
And remember – no cheating! If you indulged in a coworker’s cookies, or had some appetizers at a party, write them down in your journal.
2. Teeter-Totter “Diet” and “Exercise”
You know your pre-holiday habits. If you exercise three times a week and eat a relatively healthy diet, consider that your baseline heading into the holiday season. Then, enjoy the special holiday events you attend, but counterbalance the extra caloric intake with an extra workout for the week. If you’re short on time, there are ways to sneak in a workout routine into your day.
For example, if you attend two holiday dinner parties one week, add the equivalent of two extra workouts to your weekly routine. The calories may not exactly even out, but you’ll be in a much better position at the end of the holidays than if you weren’t balancing your increased food intake with more exercise.
3. Keep a Holiday Calendar
Just because the holidays are a time to celebrate doesn’t mean every day needs to be a celebration. Set aside one or two nights a week to really enjoy yourself, but stick to your usual routine the rest of the time.
If you usually live it up on Saturday nights, give yourself an extra night to really let loose, but stay in the rest of the week. That means saying no to friends and skipping out on impromptu get-togethers or last-minute events if you’ve already hit your weekly quota.
4. Eat Conscientiously
Studies have shown that people who sit in a well-lit location, take smaller bites, and chew their food thoroughly are less likely to overeat. You may not have the luxury of sitting down in a well-lit location during holiday festivities, but you can control how fast and how thoroughly you chew your food.
Aim to chew each bite at least 10 times before swallowing. When you slow down to eat, you allow your body to take in the tastes, scents, and textures of the food, which makes the experience more satisfying.
This also gives you time to reflect on what you eat, including the calories, fat, and carbohydrates in the food. If you don’t allow yourself the time to truly enjoy what you eat, you’re more likely to overindulge.
5. Recruit an Accountability Buddy
Sometimes you need someone looking over your shoulder to stay on track. Link up with a friend or family member who you can check in with daily to discuss your healthy choices.
Choose this person wisely! Find someone who has similar health and fitness goals and who is equally committed to staying healthy during the holidays. Look at this person as a cheerleader and a teammate, not a jailer or a judge. You should encourage and support one another, instead of pointing out faults or mistakes.
You could even put money on the line and use a site like stickK to keep you accountable to your goals.
Committing to stay healthy throughout the holiday season is the first step, but to make your commitment a reality, you need to follow through and even up the ante in some cases.
Pick and choose from these options to make this holiday season your healthiest yet:
6. Sign Up for a Holiday Fitness Competition
Most gyms offer fitness competitions for members to help encourage healthy habits during the holiday season. Rather than New Year’s-style weight-loss competitions, holiday competitions generally focus on accumulating total activity.
So if you plan to work out on a regular basis and need a little extra motivation to follow through, sign up to participate in your gym’s competition.
7. Sign Up for a Holiday Fitness Event
Check local event listings to find running, walking, or cycling races in your area. If you sign up for an event, chances are you’ll follow through on the necessary training. If you have children, look for events with a family friendly focus and get the entire gang involved.
8. Start and End Each Day Strong
Give yourself enough time each morning to cycle through a quick 10-minute resistance-training circuit and then spend 10 minutes at night performing some type of cardio. While 20 minutes of exercise a day doesn’t meet the American College of Sports Medicine’s physical activity guidelines, it sets you on the right track and gets you moving.
Even if you miss your workout because something came up, you won’t completely ditch your exercise routine if you can do at-home exercises every morning
9. Celebrate With Activity
Create new holiday traditions with your family by choosing to engage in active celebrations. For instance, instead of driving around your neighborhood to look at all the Christmas lights, take a family walk. Check recreation centers, rock climbing gyms, and bowling alleys to see if they have special Christmas programs. Every little bit counts, so think creatively and come up with new ways to make the season magical.
10. Turn Back the Clock
Everyone has heard the suggestions about taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking farther away at the mall, but what about turning back time this season? One day each week, pretend that you don’t have the luxury of modern-day conveniences.
Make meals from scratch instead of in the microwave, ride your bike to work instead of driving your car, and wash the dishes by hand instead of running them through the dishwasher. Your whole world will seem to slow down, but isn’t that what the Christmas season is about? Plus, with no TV, cell phone, or Internet, you’ll have more time to really engage with family and friends.
Exercise may help keep you healthy and trim, but weight management really comes down to what you put in your mouth. Prevent holiday weight gain by following these holiday nutrition tips:
11. Host Your Own Party
The great thing about hosting your own holiday party is that you can control what foods and beverages you serve. Instead of white rolls and fruity, calorie-laden cocktails, you can stick to whole wheat rolls and wine. Apply this same healthy focus to all of your party appetizer recipes and you can feel good about letting yourself indulge.
12. Bring Your Own Dishes
It’s considered common courtesy to bring a side dish or two to a party. However, instead of bringing Christmas cookies or pie, bring a healthy salad or chocolate-covered strawberries. Fill your plate with the main course and your own side dishes and you’ll know you’re eating healthy.
13. Start With Soup or Salad
Studies have shown that you eat less during a single sitting if you start the meal off with a water-based soup or a green salad. If you don’t think your hosts will serve soup or salad at their holiday event, eat some before heading out the door.
Use caution when adding toppings. A tortilla soup loaded with tortilla strips and sour cream, or a salad drenched in creamy dressing won’t help you lose weight.
14. Trade Holiday Events for Eating Out
Americans eat out an average of four times a week, but they get roughly 1/3 of their weekly calories from these meals. If you dine out regularly and also hit the Christmas party circuit, you can easily overindulge.
This holiday season, trade one special meal for another by substituting your holiday parties for your restaurant routine. If your work buddies have a holiday soiree, skip the fast food and bring a brown bag lunch that day. This doesn’t mean you can go nuts when you hit the party, it just means that you have one more opportunity to balance your calorie intake during the holiday season.
15. Only Eat What You Really Like
I’m a sucker for chocolate chip cookies and anything that combines mint and chocolate, but I couldn’t care less about pies, cakes, or other holiday candy. When I hit a party, I have no problem letting myself enjoy the treats I really love, but I always pass on those I don’t. What’s the point in wasting calories on something you don’t feel strongly about?
Studies have shown that people often overeat when they have more options available than when the options are limited. Don’t rely on others to limit your options. Do it yourself by only eating the foods you really like.
Other Healthy Holiday Habits
Diet and exercise are the two main factors to consider when it comes to avoiding holiday weight gain. However, stress and lack of sleep can also contribute to overeating, lethargy, and weight gain. Be sure to take steps to reduce your stress level and to make sure you get enough sleep.
Some healthy habits to take up this holiday season include:
16. Maintain Your Sleep Schedule
Just because you have more opportunities to stay up late and party doesn’t mean you should. Go out and have fun, but call it quits early enough so that you can get plenty of sleep. Aim for at least seven hours of sleep each night.
17. Watch What You Drink
Yes, you should watch your liquid calorie intake, but what you drink can also affect the quality of your sleep. Drinking too much alcohol or caffeine can interrupt your sleep and leave you feeling worn out the next day. Remember, moderation is key!
18. Give Up On “Perfect”
Holiday stress management is important. Striving to make Christmas “perfect” for yourself or your family is a nice goal to have, but it creates a lot of pressure. Who needs that kind of stress? Go ahead and aim for “great,” but realize that sometimes “good enough” ends up being a healthier option for you and everyone around you.
19. Look for Free and Cheap Holiday Options
The holidays are rife with opportunities to spend money, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend money to have a nice holiday. There are many ways to save money during the holidays.
Focus on free Christmas games and activities for the family. Make your own homemade Christmas decorations, attend events at your church, and set a reasonable budget for gifts. Then, share your plan with those around you. If everyone knows exactly what to expect, you don’t have to stress about how much you can, or can’t, spend!
20. Dress Your Best
It’s really tempting to throw on baggy sweaters and loose pants this time of year, but wearing form-fitting clothes can actually make you pay more attention to what you eat and whether your body changes from week to week.
If the pants you put on last week feel a little tight this week, don’t throw them in the back of your closet! Wear them anyway, and just pay more attention to your other healthy habits.
Most weight loss programs only lead to temporary success, so prevent the weight gain before it ever occurs. There are better New Year’s resolution ideas than to lose weight that you just packed on.
Look at it this way: the holiday season is only six weeks long. Maintain a healthy schedule during those six weeks each year, and you could maintain your weight for life! If that isn’t motivation for making healthy choices, I don’t know what is.

The bizarre clown scare has been spreading like crazy all over the globe. A prank once thought to be funny and completely harmless has turned into a serious matter.
Originally, the problem with clowns started back in late August in South Carolina after reports were made that clowns were attempting to lure children into the woods. Since the first reported sighting, there have been multiple sightings in more than two dozen states and even across the world. Not only have people been dressing up as clowns, they have been seen carrying weapons such as sticks, knives and in some cases even guns.
Although many cases were found to be hoaxes, a number of people are facing charges from false reports all the way to making terroristic threats. These clown sightings which first started out as a prank have gone bad. So bad that some places including schools have decided to ban clown costumes for this upcoming Halloween season because no one can be sure who’s really behind the face paint.
Just last week, hundreds of students from Pennsylvania State University took matters into their own hands, filling campus streets for a mass clown hunt. In Massachusetts, a clown hoax forced Merrimack College into temporary lockdown after a social media report was made that there was an armed clown walking around campus. This clown craze is affecting everyone of all ages and even causing serious action to be taken in some cases.
As for the U, no clowns have yet to be seen wandering around or near campus. However, this does not necessarily mean one won’t show up at one time or another in the future. “Depending on the situation if we encounter a clown, is how we will go about handling it. Just because someone is dressed as a clown doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing,” said Garth Smith, campus police officer.
Since there haven’t been any clown sightings thus far at the U it’s hard to say if there will ever be one. Campus police are aware of the latest craze but don’t plan to take any action unless an incident occurs. Unlike other states and schools, the U has no intention of restricting students from wearing clown costumes on campus for Halloween.
Even though many of these reported clown sightings have been found to be pranks, all cases must be looked into equally to ensure the safety of people. One of the main reasons this problem has gotten out of hand is social media. Since the first sighting, numerous Instagram and Twitter accounts have been started to share photos of sightings all over the world. Because of the involvement of social media, people either find it amusing or take it upon themselves to become a part of it instead of seeing it as a problem.
“There are much bigger problems going on in our country, both internally and internationally, right now who the fact ‘clowns’ are, even a thing is absolutely ridiculous. We can’t forget that the reason this is as big of a deal as it is, is because something as time-wasting as social media has been hyping it up,” said Sean Ekavithvorakul, a student at the U.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Japanese Sega Mega Drive games are slightly larger than Sega Genesis cartridges most of the Japanese Mega Drive library would be playable on the Sega Genesis. The larger Mega Drive carts just don’t fit into the slot opening of a Genesis.
A lot of games didn’t have any form of region encoding. If a game wasn’t too language dependent (as many are) non-Japanese speaking gamer would have access to games that didn’t get translated. It would also increase your chances of finding a particular title if English (or another non-Japanese language) was not a requirement for you.
I still have my same Genesis that my parents bought me many years ago when it was new. Back then I had the store I bought it from modify it for me. Now as I’m getting into my Sega games again I’m enjoying learning about some of the mods you can perform on the Sega Genesis.
I would say that widening the slot opening to accommodate a larger cart is the simplest mod and well worth doing. The concept is simple. File or shave away plastic from the edge of the cartridge slot opening. My choice of tool for this is the Dremel.
Since I have never used a Dremel before I decided to test it out first. I wanted to get a feel for how it works. I used the plastic cover from a spool of DVD’s as my test subject. I marked off a section that I wanted to cut out… then I cut it out. The Dremel is basically a file that spins. As it spins you press the head against the surface you want to file down and it does just that. It was very easy and quick. I noticed that it was important not to spend too much time on one spot. I was constantly moving the Dremel head along the surface I wanted to remove trying to keep each edge uniform as I worked my way to my black line. After that simple test I was already confident that I could do this.
As I said my Genesis had already been modified and it could accommodate most Japanese Mega Drive games already. But there was one company called Sunsoft that used a cartridge that was slightly larger and these carts would not fit into my Genesis.
You can see above how a regular Mega Drive carts fits well and how the Sunsoft cart doesn’t fit at all. So there wasn’t much work to do which helps because this is my first attempt.
Just like my test on the DVD’s spool cover the Genesis was also easy to Dremel. The plastic was much harder and it took longer but it still was not hard to do. The Sunsoft carts are not much wider but just more square around the corners. So most of my time was spent expanding the four corners of the slot opening.
With the dust cover installed again you can easily see the size difference of the Sunsoft games compared to the Genesis carts.
And here is it. My North American Genesis which can now fit a larger Sunsoft cartridge and any other Japanese Mega Drive carts as well. The second image shows my Genesis playing the Sunsoft game Panorama Cotton. The only mod required was to widen the opening.
I know this will not work for all Japanese Mega Drives games. For Example Golden Axe 3 and Sonic 3 are region locked and will display a message on screen and not load. Click Japanese region locked games for a more complete list. | <urn:uuid:a5850bf0-888b-4282-bfdc-ce2d1bc664e9> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://retromegabit.com/2012/07/13/genesis-mods-slot-widening/ | 2018-11-14T01:08:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741569.29/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114000002-20181114022002-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.974544 | 715 | [

Keen recyclers in Southern NSW can now assist farmers doing it tough after Return and Earn partnered with charity Buy a Bale.
Return and Earn network operator TOMRA chief executive Ryan Buzzell said from August 1 users could download and scan a special Buy a Bale barcode when returning their containers to donate their 10 cent refund to the cause.
From August 27 the charity will become an official partner allowing 10 cent refunds to be donated to those affected by the drought without the Buy a Bale barcode.
“After seeing the harsh and unrelenting reality facing our farmers, and being inspired by the wider NSW community’s eagerness to band together in times of need, TOMRA was keen to get involved and provide an easy way for people to help,” Mr Buzzell said.
“With an average of two million containers being returned every day across NSW, if everyone donated just one of every 10 containers they return, we would raise up to $20,000 a day.”
Rural Aid chief executive Charles Alder said a donation could mean the difference between devastation or survival for rural farmers.
“All it takes is something as simple as a bale of hay or a container refund donation to serve as a reminder that the rain might have dried up but Australians’ willingness to support each other never will,” he said. | <urn:uuid:3983d60f-c2d2-4259-ba6a-f2a2d9487ff6> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.bordermail.com.au/story/5562015/recycling-to-help-bale-farmers-out-of-drought-devastation/?cs=9724 | 2018-11-15T09:00:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039742569.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20181115075207-20181115101207-00122.warc.gz | en | 0.956161 | 278 | [

By John F. Moffitt
A desirable publication demonstrating the impact of alchemy and esoteric traditions at the mature paintings of Marcel Duchamp.
Acknowledged because the "Artist of the Century," Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) left a legacy that dominates the paintings international to this present day. Inventing the sarcastically dégagé angle of "ready-made" art-making, Duchamp heralded the postmodern period and changed Pablo Picasso because the function version for avant-garde artists. John F. Moffitt demanding situations regularly approved interpretations of Duchamp's artwork and personality by way of exhibiting that his mature artwork, after 1910, is basically drawn from the effect of the occult traditions.

Another important early contribution to the evolving proliferation of modernist esoterica was Mesmerism, named after its founder Franz Anton Mesmer (1734–1815). At well-attended séances, Mesmer practiced what we would today call hypnotism. In the early Romantic period hypnosis seemed a kind of white magic, offering proof for the existence of the soul, of a hereafter, and all forms of prophetic, mentally superior Spiritual Vision, in 28 ALCHEMIST OF THE AVANT-GARDE short, clairvoyance. 42 In practice, Mesmer’s esoteric hypnotic doctrines showed themselves to be clearly akin to Swedenborg’s correspondences.
Since men and women are created by sexual means, then it logically follows that the sex act—the microcosmic image of Creation— is both a divine sign and a gift from On High (au delà in the terminology of modern French esotericism). As an attribute of the Divine, neatly dividing itself into Male and Female components, conjoined Sex/Creation represents Harmony and Perfection. In the sex act, a coniunctio oppositorum, the male supposedly achieves his own inherently female nature and thus becomes symbolically androgynous, transmuted into one flesh, and thus made whole.
Wassily Kandinsky boldly proclaimed this prophetic-messianic function of the modern artist in 1911: “The abstract spirit takes possession first of a single human spirit; later it governs an ever-increasing number of people. 15 Apollinaire said much the same thing in 1913: “Poets and artists plot the characteristics of their epoch, and the future docilely falls in line with their desire. . The energy of art imposes itself on men, and becomes for them the plastic standard of the period. . ”16 In 1915, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler spoke of Pablo Picasso as an artist who is “possessed of the divine gift, genius,” and who likewise provides “proof that the appearance of the esthetic product is conditioned in its particularity by the spirit of the time.

Business websites are often designed in a way that is more minimalistic than others. The reason is that they want customers to buy their products and also to not make things more difficult for them.
If you’re planning to design a website or if you’re a website creation company, be sure to apply these trends so that it can really help you with your business in 2018:
1. Go Straight to the Point
When coming up with a design for a business website, you have to make sure that it is clean and as professional-looking as possible.
The idea here is to be straightforward and direct to the point. Incorporate some background and typography with contrasting colors for easy viewing. Moreover, your font size has to be big enough for people to see; ideally using 16px or 18px should work.
2. Use More Optimized Images for Faster Loading Speeds
The use of images is an integral part of the website’s design, but you have to make it a point to implement some new changes as well.
For starters, your images have to be optimized for better loading speeds. So, if you have a really big image with a big resolution to boot, then you have to scale it down accordingly so that it will not take too much time to load.
Furthermore, to accentuate the images on your website, you can use the parallax scrolling effect so that it will give the impression to users making it pop out more, and you can even use image shadows to your advantage as well.
Shadows do a good job at creating more depth for your pictures, so be creative on how you will implement this in a way that will match the overall color scheme you’ve chosen.
3. Video and Animation as Backdrops
Studies have shown that people are more engaged if they see something that is interactive. And, the way you do that to your websites is by adding some videos and animations as well.
You do that by making them a part of your background. It has to be subtle enough in that it doesn’t really take too much attention away from the content at hand, but it also has to be something that is prominent in the sense that users can definitely see it, albeit not too obtrusive.
4. Use Customized Google Maps on Your Site
In a push for more location-based services, businesses are making ways to convert site visitors into paying customers.
To do just that, make use of a customized Google Map so that your users can avail of location-based services. What I mean by “customized” is that the interface should be well-implemented in that it doesn’t really veer away from the overall aesthetic of your website.
As peoples’ preferences change over time, so are the design trends that you should use on your website. Using the appropriate typography, adding in videos and animations as your background, and using optimized images are just some trends that will surely help your business in 2018. | <urn:uuid:d7bc2b6f-b693-4f16-96a6-378e2bbf1109> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://the-double-0-project.net/4-website-design-trends-that-can-really-help-businesses-in-2018/ | 2018-11-17T19:48:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743732.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20181117185331-20181117211331-00442.warc.gz | en | 0.956722 | 621 | [

It has been 20 days since my last post! TWENTY DAYS. Gah! I do have some things in store for the week, but I’m still all out of sorts. Oops!
I thought I would share on this hot, muggy May afternoon the meaning behind the name that is Jenny The Trailhead as I am now over two years deep into this title and online presence.
Someone the other day asked me where “Jenny the Trailhead” came from. It took me a minute to respond because I wasn’t…actually…sure. It was something that popped into my head 2 years ago and I just liked the sound of it. I was having a Carrie Bradshaw moment, (likely looking a lot more disheveled and exhausted) sitting at my laptop, scanning the living room with a quizzical expression on my face and it clicked.
I started my blog not really knowing what direction it would take, but being all too familiar with blogging and journaling – I had a start. A “trailhead.” A beginning.
1 the place where a trail begins.”we camped amid the pines at the trailhead”
I had also at that point become a glorified hiking junkie. I read, watched, researched everything hiking related. I was needing outdoor adventure to sustain my mental and physical well-being thus becoming an obsessed “TrailHead” – much like a Grateful Dead “DeadHead”… …or a person who loves fixing and detailing their cars – a “GearHead.”
I am a big fan of things having a meaning or a story behind them. And so there is my meaning.
And with that, a new logo! I do have some stickers available if anyone would like one! You can email me your name and address at [email protected]! I’ll send one for free or if you send a small donation to Gear Forward and email a screenshot of your PayPal donation I’ll send you some stickers aaaaand some trail treats!!
Have a wonderful day!

Thoughtful eating is very important to me. I have classes Monday to Friday 8 am to 5 pm with a one-hour lunch break that usually includes twenty minutes of travel time to and from my house. Wanting to get all my schoolwork done, eight hours of sleep a night and time at the yoga studio or gym everyday leaves very small windows of actual eating time. It’s for this exact reason that being present and truly enjoying the process of eating has become so important for me. Taking the time to enjoy your food is my favourite way to claim the day as my own and remain aware and mindful—even as a busy student with the stresses of schoolwork and exams always impending.
Being thoughtful when eating comes naturally if you choose foods that elicit a thoughtful response. This means your ramen noodles and Ragu brand sauces aren’t the most ideal for getting the most out of foods. Finding whole plant-based foods is the simplest way to allow you to naturally become present when eating. There is a raw beauty in most fruits and vegetables that simply do not exist in a processed, pre-packaged meal-type item. This happens to work out extremely well with a student budget too, but that’s a whole other story.
In order to achieve a mindful meal it’s all in the preparation and planning. I don’t have time to cook every night and certainly not multiple times a day. Every three nights I prepare a green smoothie and divide it into mason jars for the following mornings. In addition to this, each night I make some sort of overnight oats to satisfy my morning need for carbs. When I wake up I cut up all the raw vegetables I want for lunch that day so when I come home it is as simple as spreading some homemade hummus (prepared on the weekend) into a pita and building a delicious wrap. The hardest of the bunch is definitely dinner. I choose to take about two hours every Sunday to make a combination of a grains and beans—enough for three or four days—and some sort of main dish to go with it. The main dish varies from ratatouille—perfect to clear out fridge and use that Ragu if you must—to Thai or Indian curry dishes.
This routine takes stress out of cooking and eating. It leaves me a wonderfully colourful, flavour-packed set of meals to just be still with. Find your routine, build your plan and let eating bring you stillness.
See below an example of rice and lentils with raw vegetables and a maple-cashew sauce. (And, you thought it was far more complicated, right?) If you prepare the rice and lentils in advance cooked it’d only take five minutes to cut up the vegetables and you’d be ready to rock. | <urn:uuid:1afa1618-9286-4540-b00c-3b805653b4da> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://boostlife.io/thoughtful-eating/ | 2018-11-19T03:55:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745015.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119023120-20181119044459-00053.warc.gz | en | 0.956977 | 580 | [

Vertigo is a false sensation of spinning that affects as much as 10% of people. While vertigo is a problem that increases in likelihood as one gets older, recent studies have also shown that the condition is one the rise among children as well.
According to the study, a much as 5% of children between the ages of 3 and 17 deal with some kind of dizziness, vertigo, or balance issue. That is 1 out of every 20 children. The study involved some 11,000 children by means of the National Health Interview Survey, an annual survey with the results reported on the CDC website.
One of the problems children have with getting a proper diagnosis is an inability to describe symptoms accurately. For example, lightheadedness can be a difficult concept for a child to explain. Vertigo, a spinning sensation, is often called dizziness out of lack of knowledge of the correct term.
To learn more about the connection between head and neck injuries and vertigo download our complimentary e-book by clicking the image below.
The Importance of the Neck When It Comes to Vertigo and Balance
At Haan Family Chiropractic, we focus on one thing—the proper alignment of the upper cervical spine. Why does this play such a key role in the balance of young and old alike? The C1 and C2 vertebrae (the top two bones in the neck) are situated right at the base of the skull. This is where the brainstem meets the spinal cord, and it is a vital junction in the central nervous system.
Therefore, a misalignment here can wreak havoc on the body’s ability to recognize its position in accord with its surrounding. The room may seem to be spinning, or the body may feel that it is moving even while standing still or sitting.
Upper cervical research has revealed that vertigo patients often find relief following a proper adjustment. For some, vertigo is completely relieved after just one or two adjustments. In some case studies, as much as 97% of participants enjoyed a significant reduction in severity and frequency of vertigo attacks.
Upper cervical care is gentle and safe for patients of all ages. If you are experiencing vertigo and are looking for natural relief, schedule a consultation to learn more. To schedule a complimentary consultation with Dr. Haan call 515-597-4600 or just click the button below.

We tend to assume the market for health care works differently from, say, the market for refrigerators. When people buy a refrigerator, they compare product features and prices and make their decision. But when people are choosing a health care provider, it’s harder to compare “product” features. How good is one hospital compared to another when it comes to care? What are you really buying? And how can you find these things out?
As for prices, good luck finding any information on that. Besides, much of the time patients aren’t paying the full sticker price for a health care product or service anyway — an insurance company or the government is paying a big chunk of the final tab — so patients have less incentive to make cost-effective choices than a consumer who’s comparison-shopping for refrigerators might. And if patients can’t tell or don’t care whether they’re receiving high-quality, cost-effective care, then health care providers have fewer incentives than refrigerator manufactures to be more efficient.
This concept of “health care exceptionalism” — that the health care sector doesn’t operate according to standard market forces — has shaped much of the debate among policymakers about how to reform it. But how exceptional is it, really? Amitabh Chandra of Harvard University, Amy Finkelstein and Adam Sacarny of MIT and I set out to answer this question in a recent study. When we looked at the data, we discovered that the health care market might not be as exceptional as we think.
Using data on more than 3.5 million heart attack patients insured through Medicare spanning 1993 to 2007, we first measured how “efficient” individual hospitals in the U.S. were at treating these attacks. We decided to focus on heart attacks because cardiovascular disease is the country’s leading cause of death, so it’s an important area to study, and because the desired outcome, survival, is clear and easy to measure. Two-thirds of the patients in our sample were alive a year after their attacks. In addition, we wanted to study cases in which people didn’t have a lot of time to research their health care options. When they have more time — for instance, if they have a certain type of cancer — they’re more likely to choose facilities that are good at treating their particular illness, and a “selection” problem arises. Patients with the most challenging cases of an illness are more likely to seek or be sent for treatment at the best providers. But if a hospital’s performance is measured by its patient outcomes, top providers might not look as good as they really are because they’re likely treating some of the hardest cases. For heart attacks, this selection — of harder cases to better providers — is limited because of their acute nature.
We measured a hospital’s productivity by computing how long its heart attack patients lived after their episodes, relative to what one might expect given their demographics, health histories and treatment (for example, whether they had an angioplasty, received a stent or had bypass surgery). Using a regression model, we calculated how average survival across all patients in our sample was affected by age, race, gender, current and prior medical conditions, and the multitude of medical treatments the patients received. A hospital’s productivity was the average relative survival of its patients beyond, or short of, the level implied by the regression model.
We found some pretty big differences across hospitals in how efficiently they delivered services. Suppose a particular heart attack patient could receive the same medical procedures at different hospitals. Our measurements indicate that the patient would live on average more than 50 percent longer if he or she were treated at one of the more efficient hospitals than at one of the less efficient providers. For example, an older male patient suffering from other health issues, like diabetes, might survive eight months after receiving a bypass operation at one of the less efficient hospitals. If he received the same treatment at a better hospital, he might live an additional four months longer. We also found that our measure of hospital productivity correlated with quality metrics that Medicare calculated for hospitals’ heart attack treatment practices.
Additionally, we found that urban hospitals were 7 percent more efficient than rural hospitals — that is, their patients lived on average 7 percent longer, even after adjusting for the types of patients they treated and for the set of procedures the patients underwent. Teaching hospitals were 8 percent more efficient than non-teaching hospitals. And non-profit hospitals were 8 percent more efficient than for-profit hospitals, which were themselves 2 percent more efficient than government-run hospitals.
We then checked to see if the more productive hospitals — those delivering longer patient survival from a given set of medical procedures — received more patient traffic. They did. More efficient hospitals systematically treated more heart attack patients than did less efficient hospitals that were located in the same metro area. A hospital that was 10 percent more efficient than another hospital could expect to see 25 percent more patients. Furthermore, these better hospitals also grew faster and were less likely to close. That same 10 percent productivity advantage corresponded to a 1 percent faster growth rate in patient numbers over the following year, 4 percent faster growth over five years, and 6 percent faster growth over 10 years.
More than half of the heart attack patients in our study did not travel to the hospital nearest to where they lived. Instead, they went or were taken to more distant (and on average more efficient) hospitals for treatment. Mind you, this was while they were having a heart attack — not something people typically feel coming on and then sit down at the computer to do some research on their options. (Just imagine how they might respond if they had more time. The evidence here suggests that for other types of illnesses, like cancer, the rewards for top providers could be even greater.)
What explains the fact that patients were making their way to more efficient hospitals? It’s hard for us to say, unfortunately, since we don’t have data on what patients know and when they know it. They might learn from the experiences of family and friends, or perhaps doctors advise them during checkups. There’s even some indication that ambulance drivers, facing roughly the same drive time to two different hospitals, tend to choose the provider they know to be better.
We do know that patient traffic responds positively to a hospital’s patient survival performance and negatively to its overuse of inputs (like performing too many bypass surgeries in situations where stents would do just as well). Between these two factors, patient traffic is considerably more responsive to survival differences.
All this suggests that the health care market may not be as different as economists are prone to think. Even in settings where patients have little information about providers’ efficiencies, and insurance and time pressures reduce any incentive to find out, we see that patients still find their way to better hospitals. Something in the market is able to collect and transmit that performance information to patients or to someone who knows them.
That’s not saying the health care market is perfect. The next step is figuring out how patients learn about better providers and make decisions about their care. Anything we can do to make the health care sector even more responsive to efficiency differences across providers would be a good thing, especially with one-sixth of the country’s GDP, and our lives, on the line. | <urn:uuid:6cbfd31e-c08e-443c-ae3f-8870bfdc3380> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/standard-market-forces-appear-to-apply-to-hospitals-too/ | 2018-11-19T04:00:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745015.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119023120-20181119044459-00053.warc.gz | en | 0.969417 | 1,521 | [

I’m not really one for new year’s resolutions. Regardless of how many things in my life I’d like to change – weight, social life, number of films I watch – the whole resolution concept is one I’ve just never comfortably got behind. However, at the start of this year I made a small mental note that I’d like to podcast a bit more, with the specific aim of appearing on one podcast in particular – the Milfcast, the official podcast of manilovefilms.com. Hosted by Kai and Heather, it’s easily one of the most entertaining podcasts available, and covers such diverse subjects as the Alien franchise (particularly Aliens) and defecating in cereal (particularly Cheerios). A few months ago I was fortunate enough to appear on a Lambcast episode with Kai, during which I’d intended to ask him how one would become eligible to guest on his great show, only for him to invite me on before I had a chance. As such, you can hear Kai, Heather and myself discussing all manner of film-related things on the latest episode of the Milfcast, which can be found here.
On the episode, the general discussion topic, as selected by myself, was our favourite voice performances of animated characters. I mention on the show that this was perhaps the hardest list I’d ever compiled, mainly because it could only consist of three entries. However, with so many possible entrants available I just had to expand it, so here’s my top 10. Oh, and I limited myself to just one selection per film, if you were wondering.
Honourable Mention: Mr. DNA (Greg Burson), Jurassic Park If there is any possible way that I can crowbar Jurassic Park into a Top 10 list, you can rest assured that life will find a way. Although Mr. DNA doesn’t have much screentime in Jurassic Park, he has one of the most important roles in the film – delivering the most perfectly executed exposition sequence in movie history, and he sounds exactly like the kind of second rate educational short films you’d be forced to sit through at school.
10. Steve (Neil Patrick Harris), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
I really, really like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. It’s an animated film that doesn’t get the attention it deserves, and for the life of me I can’t say why. It’s imaginative, hilarious and has a great – if utterly insane – story, and the voice cast is amazing too. Bill Hader is the lovably eccentric inventor Flint Lockwood, Anna Faris his weathergirl love interest and James Caan his gruff father, but it’s the supporting characters that elevate it all. Bruce Campbell is wonderful as the gluttonous mayor, Mr. T is awesomely quotable as the town’s policeman, but my favourite is the character that just repeats one word, “Steve!”, as voiced by Neil Patrick Harris. The fact that NPH agreed to voice a monkey’s talking mind-reading device in the first place shows how great the film is, and the multiple inflections on the “Steve!”s are some of the funniest moments of the film.
9. Memphis (Hugh Jackman), Happy Feet
I used to like Happy Feet quite a lot. I think it’s the penguins, the birds in general have always amused me somewhat. Now, however I think it’s a little uneven and lacking in fun, even if the animation itself is incredible. Something I’ll never get tired of though is Hugh Jackman’s voicing of Memphis, father to toe-tapping Mumbles, mainly because his character is essentially Elvis Presley with flippers.
8. Pirate Captain (Hugh Grant), The Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists
Pirates! is another animated film that I don’t think really gets its due praise. All stop-motion Aardman films are wonderful (we don’t talk about Flushed Away) and this one is easily just as hilarious, creative and downright enjoyable as the likes of Chicken Run or any of the Wallace and Gromit pictures, yet elsewhere I hear largely negative feedback. Anyway, Hugh Grant has the starring role as the Pirate Captain, resplendent in his luxurious beard, through which his voice is almost unrecognisable, despite retaining his token blustering foppishness. And to be fair to the rest of the cast, they’re all perfectly cast, from David Tennant as a petulant Charles Darwin, to Brian Blessed’s brief but boisterous cameo as the Pirate King.
7. Bruce (Barry Humphries), Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo was the first Pixar film that I absolutely adored, although that list has now expanded to include practically every film they’ve released. My favourite character in the film is Crush, as voiced by director Andrew Stanton (listen to the Milfcast for my impression of him), but in terms of vocal performances I like Barry Humphries’ Bruce best, particularly the way he says “Helloooooooooooo,” which I try to emulate every time I watch but can never quite get right. Oh, and as mentioned during the show, Ellen Degeneres as Dory is absolutely perfect and comedic gold, and my other half will probably never forgive me for not including her on this list, but I just prefer Bruce. If I allowed more than one character per film, she’d easily be in the top 10, and I really hope they do her character justice for the upcoming Finding Dory.
6. Frozone (Samuel L. Jackson), The Incredibles
He made it onto my list of Top 10 Superheroes, and I think Samuel L. Jackson does such a great job adapting his epitome-of-cool tones to this epitome-of-cool character that he deserved a slot here too. The favourite scene in our house is the exchange with his wife (Kimberly Adair Clark) regarding the whereabouts of his supersuit, and damn if my girlfriend doesn’t have that script down pat. Elsewhere, Brad Bird’s Edna Mode (who always reminds me of Zoe Wanamaker, who played Madame Hooch in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and Susan Harper in My Famliy for 12 years) is nothing short of a delight, and Jason Lee is great as both the young Buddy and the older Syndome. Pixar always does such a great job with casting.
5. Wall-E (Ben Burtt), Wall-E
Speaking of which, when it came to providing the sound effects for an adorable yet functional little robot who could only ‘speak’ through beeps, whistles and contorted electronic whirrs, who else are you going to ask than Ben Burtt, ‘voice’ of R2-D2? Burtt’s work here comes pretty damn close to surpassing some of the astromech’s dialogue, like his utter desperation and disappointment when EVE (Elissa Knight) can’t pronounce his name properly (she calls him Wally). I understand a lot of the performance is in those big ole’ binocular eyes and they’re twitching, but it’d be almost nothing without Burtt behind those beeps and whistles.
4. William Shakespeare (Patrick Stewart), Gnomeo & Juliet
I think I’ve talked about Gnomeo and Juliet on a Lambcast before, and I unashamedly really like this film. I do enjoy Shakespeare adaptations, and this one’s played out with animated gnomes, monstrous lawnmowers, a horny frog and a one-legged Hispanic flamingo. The cast is also phenomenal, ranging from James McAvoy and Emily Blunt as the eponymous leads, Maggie Smith and Michael Caine as their respective parents, and all the way down to Ozzy Osbourne, Dolly Parton, Hulk Hogan, Julie Walters, Richard Wilson, Matt Lucas and Stephen Merchant as bit players dotted around. Jason Statham is also a treat as Tybalt, but it’s a last act cameo from Shakespeare himself – or at least his statue – that gets me every time. Voiced perfectly by Shakespearean actor Patrick Stewart – who else? – he’s wonderful. More of him, please.
3. Dug (Bob Peterson), Up
And now we get to the three that I discussed on the Milfcast. Up is another Pixar film I love so very much, and easily the most enjoyable aspect of that is Dug the talking Dog, as voiced by co-director and regular supporting-voice-cast Bob Peterson. Dug is so much fun, and Peterson’s lovable, hyperactive sugar-high delivery makes you wish all dogs could talk, or at least all the friendly-looking ones. He has a much smaller role, but Delroy Lindo as fellow canine Beta is also a welcome voice to the ears.
2. Scar (Jeremy Irons), The Lion King
As if The Lion King wasn’t going to make an appearance. As I’ve mentioned, this is officially the first film I remember seeing, and it’s had a profound effect on my since then. Amongst all the great cast members – James Earl Jones as King Mufasa, Nathan Lane as Timon, Rowan Atkinson as Zazu, Robert Guillaume as Rafiki, Ernie Sabella as Pumbaa – pick of the bunch must be Jeremy Irons as Scar. He has such a great voice, either dripping with promise or snarling with fury; with him, every line is a winner.
1. Mr. Pricklepants (Timothy Dalton), Toy Story 3
As I mentioned on the Milfcast, this entire Top 10 could have been plucked from the Toy Story trilogy. I’m sure one day I’ll do my top 10 Toy Story characters, so I won’t bore you with that now, but it’ll be interesting (for me at least) to see if, a few years down the line, Timothy Dalton’s Mr. Pricklepants still comes out on top. As soon as Pixar announced his character poster and casting details I was on board and couldn’t wait to meet this lederhose-wearing felt hedgehog. He looks so adorable (yes, we have a plush version somewhere), and his character, that of a classically trained actor going method in the improv-world of playtime, is the highlight of the film, possibly the trilogy. And with so many other incredibly cast characters in this trilogy, that’s truly saying something. I hope he has a decent role in the upcoming Toy Story of Terror. | <urn:uuid:b67881ac-5438-40c9-ab6c-d36dba8693b1> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://lifevsfilm.com/2013/09/28/top-10-animated-voice-performances/ | 2018-11-21T16:08:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039749054.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121153320-20181121175320-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.962031 | 2,285 | [

Islamabad (Agencies): Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa on Monday arrived in Saudi Arabia on a day-long tour to attend Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition (IMCTC) conference.
The delegation led by the prime minister is expected to hold meetings with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other officials during the visit. During the meetings, bilateral relations, regional and international situation would be reviewed.
On Sunday, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman opened the maiden meeting of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition’s defense ministers in Riyadh.
Addressing the defense ministers and other high-ranking officials, the crown prince said that Sunday’s meeting sends “a strong signal that we are going to work together and coordinate together to support each other.”
However, the alliance doesn’t include Iran, Iraq or Syria, while member nation Qatar sent no one to attend the one-day Riyadh gathering amid a diplomatic standoff between Doha and four Arab nations led by the kingdom.
“The biggest danger of this terrorism and extremism is the tarnishing of our beloved religion’s reputation […] We will not allow this to happen,” said the royal who has been the driving force behind this coalition. “Today, we start the pursuit of terrorism and we see its defeat in many facets around, the world especially in Muslim countries. We will continue to fight it until we see its defeat.”
The crown prince also offered his condolences to Egypt, which suffered an attack on Friday by Islamic militants on a mosque in northern Sinai that killed 305 people.
“This is indeed a painful event and it is a recurrent and strong reminder the dangers of this terrorism,” he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Pakistan’s ex-army chief General (r) Raheel Sharif has said the Saudi-led alliance will act as a platform to assist member countries in their counter terrorism operations through intelligence sharing and capacity building.
Sharif, who is also the commander-in-chief of the military coalition, said: “A number of our member countries are under tremendous pressure while fighting well established terrorist organisations due to capacity shortages of their armed forces and law enforcement agencies”. | <urn:uuid:574956e3-b514-4688-897d-a212cbe8b6fd> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://en.neonetwork.pk/27-Nov-2017/pm-abbasi-army-chief-bajwa-reach-saudi-arabia | 2018-11-14T04:39:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039741628.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20181114041344-20181114063344-00402.warc.gz | en | 0.959679 | 477 | [

03 May Patanjali Yoga Sutra 1.30 (Parisamvad)
Chapter 1, Sutra 30
Vyadhi : disease, illness , sickness
Styana : inefficiency , dullness
Samsaya : indecision , doubt
Pramada : carelessness , negligence
Alasaya : sloth , laziness
Avirati : sensuality , craving
Bhranti darsana : false views or perception
Alabdhabhumikatva : failing to attain stages of practice
Anavasthitatvani : inability to maintain
Cittaviksepah : distractions of the mind
Te : they are
Antarayah : obstacles , impediments
From that comes Realisation of the individual Self and the obstacles are removed.
Listen to the audio:
“We discuss the usual kind of difficulties that come in our way and especially in our progress in yoga. We know them. They are part of our character. Disease is one. We fall sick, few times in a year. We are lazy, mind is uncertain, doubtful. Illusions, disillusionments, not finding our correct objective, goal. That kind of uncertainty, we are never a 100% sure about what we do. Various such things are mentioned. You see, these are the obstacles which are part of our personality. Even the best men have these unfortunate qualities. Naturally in learning of yoga they come as a hindrance. Suddenly doubt comes, suddenly laziness and all that. So these have been mentioned as our enemies. Unless we can overcome them, we can’t get full-heartedly into learning yoga.
See, learning yoga requires a clean slate – mind that is clear, full of enthusiasm and succeeds. There have been instances in old times of students who were mentally ready and just a word from the teacher was enough. See even the Founder of the Institute, as a young boy form St. Xavier’s college goes to his teacher, leaving his studies, leaving his parents. The teacher tells him to sit down, eyes closed, without thoughts and he sits there for two hours. The teacher returns and see him and says you have passed for today. In the same way he was progressing. So his learning became easier. In a shorter period, he qualified for higher states.
The Founder decided that yoga is not only for the recluse, Sanyasis who have cut away from life. He was interested in seeing that yoga should be learnt by ordinary people living in material world inspite of the obstacles. It was a struggle. The teacher did not like the idea. Founder left the Ashram and struggled all the years – 90 years. In the end he accepted this, that ordinary people just can’t succeed. They have too many distractions, they are not trying to overcome them. Merely a desire or an effort has no meaning because these Antarayas are inherent. They keep on troubling. You might feel confident that you can succeed, but our structure is such that it doesn’t work.
What is suggested is keep on, day after day, month after month, year after year and then somewhere you’ll see light. You will gain strength, confidence and you go further. All this is very hard for moderners, who go by the stop watch and are in a hurry. They do a little yoga, sit in Sukhasana for a few minutes and that’s enough. They then want to go to the next step. This is what is stated here.”
“All these obstacles don’t allow Citta Vritti Nirodha – control over mind is not possible – stoppage of mind, impossible. They are called Citta Viksepa . Vyadhi – disease. If nutrients are not correct – Vata, Pitta, Kapha is not balanced, then there is disease. One has to attend to it. Here comes the entire Ahaar, Vihaar, Achar, Vichar. Mental disease – lack of interest in life – that also has to be taken care of. Samsaya – doubting mind – one has to have full faith in the path. Pramada – lack of sincerity. Alasya – laziness – when one overworks, doesn’t sleep, overeats, no proper routines. Avirati – sensual pleasures. I love this and I love this person. Bhranti Darsana – one doesn’t see the reality – it’s a rope but we see it as snake – Avidya. Alabdhabhumikatwa – you don’t have the capacity but you want to reach there. When there are problems, capacity is less. Anavasthitatvani – through hard work person reaches some level, but can’t stay there for long. All these have to be understood and overcome otherwise we will not be able to steady our mind.”

The Hedgehogs are mammalian creatures that appear in the episode "Morituri Te Salutamus." They appear to be hiding when Finn and Jake rescue them from the Burger Monster. The hedgehogs are one of the few animals that seem to lack intelligence. Finn refers to them as "cuties."
They are brownish-gray in color, have long, sharp quills on their backs, and have large black eyes. | <urn:uuid:4531755d-49a4-4781-8c09-b7439911e596> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Hedgehog_Creatures | 2018-11-16T18:56:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743110.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116173611-20181116195611-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.977312 | 88 | [

Total : 4
Beautiful and well preserved Canton Shawl, black silk back ground embroidered with exotic birds and flowers. Size 54" x54" plus 24" crocheted edge with long silk tassels. There are no holes or tears and the colours are bright and clear with no fading. This came from a home near a large sea port so was probably brought home from Manilla where it was made by Cantonese workers, sewing both sides on a frame with the needle being passed through from one embroiderer to another. The shawls were made for both the English and Spanish market. Sold in Liberty's of London they graced many a society piano, where as in Spain they were worn by ladies, some times sitting sidesaddle behind their men, on horseback. The longer tasseled edges were made so that there was more "swing" when worn. To be worn the shawl is folded triangularly. There is a lovely weight to this shawl which just oozes quality. A fabulous item for collecting, wearing or decorating.
Price £450.00 €517.50 $585.18
Framed and glazed panel of Swedish embroidery, size 52" x 23" including frame which is 1" wide. This beautifully subtle embroidery is worked in soft wools and silks, each, flower, leaf, bud, petal or stem is shaded and verrigated with enormous delicacy. Some of the flowers and buds are raised work (padded) and the fine tendrils are worked in chain stitch and back stitch. The majority of the work is long stitch.The pattern of the panel is reminiscent of The Tree of Life, Swedish embroiderers were inspired in the mid 19th by William Morris and started to produce work based on traditional patterns. This panel has been embroidered by a lady named on the back as Johanna Karolina Nennes F Sellman born 1828 and died 1909, this means that it could be any thing from 160 to 120 years old. At this moment the positioning of the hanging strings mean that it hangs vertically but personally I would prefer to see it hung horizontally. It would be very attractive placed above a bed head, for instance. Left in original frame to preserve authenticity of labeling and so purchaser can choose if change is required.
Price £225.00 €258.75 $292.59
Late 19th Century/early 20th century Petit Point (tent stitch) floral purse, with intricate metalwork frame and lapis clasp and decoration. This is a charming and intricate hand worked pattern of many stitches, (this stitch being a tiny diagonal stitch)the flowers blending into one another in very atmospheric manner. There are little flowers all along the frame and each link of the chain is ridged. The blue lapis stones add a distinctive finishing touch. Sadly, the interior of the purse, which is corded silk, has deteriorated badly.
Price £55.00 €63.25 $71.52
A pair of floss silk embroidered pictures, Oriental views, with Mount Fuji in the back ground. Both embroideries are worked in long stitch and each tree has its trunk and branches subtly coloured to show true perspective, the paths and drive ways wind off into the distance, the foregrounds framed with either branches or blossom. One picture would seem to epitomise Autumn and the other Spring/summer, using colours russets greens and pinks in all shades. Both pictures are in their original frames, dating most probably from the 1920s. Size, exterior of frame 16" x 8 1/4".

Unceasing Spiritual Rise and Progress
by Mary Beth Singleterry
A recent newspaper article stated that one of the main reasons why a person is not promoted in business is their inability to take correction. When we indulge in pride, hurt feelings, and stubbornness, important lessons are not learned — and the promotion goes to someone else.
Everyone certainly wants to progress in life and to become better in every way. Mary Baker Eddy gives a clear and penetrating statement that would help even the most difficult case to learn and appreciate the value of taking correction: “If the Christian Scientist recognize the mingled sternness and gentleness which permeate justice and Love, he will not scorn the timely reproof, but will so absorb it that this warning will be within him a spring, welling up into unceasing spiritual rise and progress.” (Ret.)
If we truly want to make progress, wouldn’t we want to know what stumbling blocks might be preventing spiritual growth? And unless there is someone loving enough to give a much needed correction, how very easy it is to continue in a bad habit. Are we grateful for the one who unselfishly points out the way, or do we instead “scorn the timely reproof”?
Many come to Christian Science demanding that their problems be healed, but they refuse to make the necessary changes in their lives that will bring them closer to God. They are also the ones who complain of no improvement. But those who are humbly willing to purify their thoughts and deeds and gratefully accept corrections, receive blessings and healing beyond measure.
As Mrs. Eddy says, “Willingness to become as a little child and to leave the old for the new, renders thought receptive of the advanced idea. Gladness to leave the false landmarks and joy to see them disappear, — this disposition helps to precipitate the ultimate harmony. The purification of sense and self is proof of progress. ‘Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.’” (S&H)
Let us humbly pray for this disposition which allows us to appreciate and benefit from a needed correction, and in so doing, gives way to a life blessed with “unceasing spiritual rise and progress.” | <urn:uuid:c9015892-2cdc-4b1d-b107-3b0edbc9c226> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://articles.plainfieldcs.com/practitioners/mary-beth-singleterry/unceasing-spiritual-rise-and-progress/ | 2018-11-16T18:06:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039743110.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20181116173611-20181116195611-00162.warc.gz | en | 0.952935 | 471 | [

Whoo-hoo, it’s about time we took this issue off the table. Next topic, Mr. Romney?
Wow, just wow. Every once in a while the Supreme Court gets it right and today they got it crazy right. I don’t think Obamacare is perfect, but, it’s a much needed step in the right direction. And as a SAHD whose family of three, in an effort to save money, has three separate health care plans with three separate providers and all the paperwork and bullshit that comes with it, all I can say is…amen, baby. Let’s fix this shit! Long live, Obamacare!
And long live Chief Justice John Roberts for breaking rank with his backwards-thinking cronies for a change. As Joe Biden would say: “This is a big fucking deal!”

Well, just in case you missed it, here again for your viewing pleasure is Google’s salute to the 79th birthday of the drive-in theatre! Wow…who knew they had drive-ins in the 1930’s? Crazy, huh?
Anyway, enjoy the clip below and if you happen to be lucky enough to live near a drive-in, I command you to head over there and get your outdoor movie theatre on!

Health is affected by the interaction between personal and environmental factors. Environmental influences include physical, socio-economic, cultural and political factors as well as the availability of health services. It is generally accepted that the socio-economic factors – especially education and income – are the most important determinant of population health status. Poor people with limited education generally have poor health. | <urn:uuid:5ec51ce6-b887-4827-9904-205878136eb6> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.asthmafoundation.org.nz/research/pacific-island-health-causes-of-poor-health | 2018-11-19T05:07:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039745281.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20181119043725-20181119065725-00482.warc.gz | en | 0.973528 | 88 | [

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure or Fanny Hill has already been mentioned once before in this column. I wanted to review it because it is a singularly beautiful novel, even if it is considered a little tame by today’s standards.
John Cleland’s novel was first published in 1748 and caused immense consternation when it did, unsurprisingly. It was banned immediately for its disreputable content, thereby gaining instant notoriety. It is the tale of Fanny Hill, a young woman in Augustan England who chooses the world’s oldest profession as a means of gaining middle-class respectability and financial independence. She is sweet and easygoing and views her work as a means to an end. It is a rather delightful romp (600 pages) and an easy read; not to mention providing us (the readers) an intimate look at sexual practises in the eighteenth century.

Model-turned-reality star Janice Dickinson has officially moved past her feud with her one-time TV boss Tyra Banks after blaming her former substance abuse issues for her bad behavior.
Dickinson featured as a judge on the first four cycles of Banks’ “America’s Next Top Model” competition and stayed on as a guest for three more seasons, until she was fired in 2006 amid reports suggesting the two former runway stars never got along.
The outspoken 60 year old spent the following months blasting Banks in the press, but now Dickinson admits her outrageous behavior was largely down to her drug troubles.
During an interview on “Oprah: Where Are They Now,” which aired on Saturday, Dickinson said, “I’ve said some pretty bad things about her (Banks) in the past because I had been fired. I was very hurt that I had been fired and so I acted out, and that was not when I was acting in a sober-like fashion.”
She has since had a change of heart about working with Banks, 41, and claims she has nothing but respect for all of her hard work.
Dickinson continued, “I loved working with Tyra Banks. It was an amazing experience. Tyra is a tough businesswoman, and she does great TV, and I respect her as a woman.”
The star publicly battled her drug demons during a stint on self-help program “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” in 2010. | <urn:uuid:a1fa88ba-9913-4deb-a410-ff162c6f5617> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://blog.chron.com/celebritybuzz/2015/05/janice-dickinson-i-respect-tyra-banks/ | 2018-11-20T15:17:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746465.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120150950-20181120172950-00082.warc.gz | en | 0.990012 | 314 | [

DuWop Cosmetics Lip Venom Lip Plumping Balm - Twilight Venom
- Shimmering crimson lip stain with plumping
- Vampire-inspired twist on original Lip Venom Formula
- Includes conditioning ingredients for moisturizing
- Reapply for desired color intensity

As one of the most innovative brands in beauty, DuWop Cosmetics has made a name for itself by figuring out what women need and creating it.
With high-quality ingredients and a collection of cool, problem solving products that you can't live without; DuWop Cosmetics brings you “Modern Beauty Solutions.”
DuWop Cosmetics Lip Venom: the first-ever lip plumper
A case-study in innovation
Working with Kerry Russell on the set of Felicity sparked the idea for this breakthrough product. After observing the incredibly full and pouty lips the actress had following her long and passionate kissing scenes, designers became inspired to create a product that would mimic that same beautiful effect.
After trying everything - from cayenne pepper to crushed mustard seed - DuWop discovered a special blend of essential oils that could change the way women see their lips.
The end result: A brilliant, cinnamon-spiked blend which went on to become DuWop's signature product, Lip Venom. After a little publicity and a lot of word of mouth (the actresses on the show became obsessed!), the hot little lip gloss went down in history as the first-ever lip plumper. | <urn:uuid:1be0cde0-19ea-4884-8b57-0b4e872248c3> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.beautyofasite.com/products/duwop-duwop-twilight-venom-1-fl-oz | 2018-11-20T16:03:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039746465.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20181120150950-20181120172950-00082.warc.gz | en | 0.928639 | 309 | [

Two strategies that will guide the future liveability of Monash have been adopted by Council.
The Monash Open Space Strategy and Urban Landscape and Canopy Vegetation Strategy were considered by Council at the 30 October meeting and highlighted how important access to green open spaces, gardens and trees are to community wellbeing, health and the urban environment.
The strategies provide further evidence that urban environments with green spaces such as parks, trees and and natural reserves are desirable, valuable places to live. This is often reflected in direct economic benefit including better health outcomes and higher property values.
Mayor Paul Klisaris said the many benefits of open spaces were of major significance to the Monash community.
“These spaces provide so many opportunities for physical activity, play, connecting with family and friends as well as the mental health of simply looking at some green space,” Cr Klisaris said.
“We want to encourage more people to use and benefit from Monash’s open spaces now, and into the future.”
Cr Klisaris said the Urban Landscape and Canopy Vegetation Strategy will update Council’s policy framework for landscaping and vegetation in Monash, particularly for new development.
This will help ensure that gardens, trees and landscape strike the right balance between development and planted areas, including the guidance on the right tree in the right place.
The Strategy also provides a resource for community education and engagement.
The strategies set out clear frameworks for the future on how Council will plan for open spaces to meet existing and future needs and how to increase tree canopy coverage, especially as the population of Monash continues to grow.

Taste Contemporary Craft in Geneva is showing the work of Ernst Gamperl and Maria van Kesteren together for the first time. They are both artists at the top of their field who work with wood, although in very different ways. Both artists are celebrated and collected: Gamperl won the Loewe Craft Prize 2017 for his piece Tree of Life 2 and his work is in museum collections including The Museum of Arts and Crafts, Hamburg, and the International Design Museum, Munich. Van Kesteren had a major retrospective at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam in 1995, and her work is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.
Ernst Gamperl strives to enhance the grain and character of the piece of wood while adding criss-crossing fine lines across the surface. These lines enhance the natural surface with a man-made touch of technology and control over nature. Knots and flaws in the wood are made into features of his pieces which he turns while wet. Small openings in the top of many pieces add a hint of functionality and there are some Japanese-esque boxes on display as well. There is a combination of rawness with controlled beauty in many pieces. One piece, made from maple, is translucent; its edges incredibly thin. This is the piece most like one of Maria van Kesteren’s pieces in its color and flawlessly smooth surface.
One could say that Maria van Kesteren’s approach to her work is the opposite of Gamperl’s. She strives to hide the wooden qualities of her pieces. They appear like industrial machine parts, or futuristic puzzles. The shapes are timeless and based on variations of the circle. They are smoothly finished and each piece is painted so that the grain is covered up. Her pieces can even appear to be ceramics at first glance. They display a control over the material so complete that the fact that they are made of wood disappears, and it is the shape of the form that is the focus.
When they met to plan this exhibition at Maria’s studio in The Netherlands, Maria gave Ernst a piece of wood. He has turned this into two pieces which are on display at the exhibition, another result of the conversation that was started on that day. It is a special treat to see their work together, in conversation. Monique Deul, Director of Taste Contemporary Craft, has selected pieces that speak to each other, with similar shapes placed next to each other in the gallery. The juxtaposition of the pieces allows the viewer to appreciate just how differently each artist approaches the same medium, with radically different results. This exhibit is an excellent opportunity to witness the range of expression and quality of pieces being created in contemporary craft today. | <urn:uuid:ed790101-ed77-45c2-a768-8a2beb8203d3> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://artdecision.eu/ernst-gamperl-maria-van-kesteren-at-taste-contemporary-craft/ | 2018-11-21T19:49:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039750800.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121193727-20181121215727-00242.warc.gz | en | 0.972131 | 569 | [

Winning?! What is this winning you speak of?
It was a perfect weekend for the UMass athletics program. UMass hockey won two games in a single weekend, one pretty and one ugly. Basketball, after a shaky stretch in the first half, flexed its muscle down the stretch and took over against Elon, as the Chaz Williams era began with a bang. If you want to take it even further, women’s basketball even got a win to start the year, and UMass football lost, which, for those following at home, is a victory for the future of the program.
We won’t equivocate on this: the level of competition was not high this weekend. Holy Cross looked a far cry from the squad that upset BU on Comm Ave earlier this year. Northeastern has officially taken Lowell’s throne as unquestioned worst team in Hockey East this year. And Elon is, well, Elon. But wins are wins, and the first step to escaping the “rebuilding” label is winning the games you’re supposed to win. Both teams did that in spades this weekend.
Friday’s double-header was a thing of beauty, especially on the ice. I wrote on Friday morning about the very real possibility of a letdown against Holy Cross in a virtual exhibition game (given UMass’s slow start and their weak non-conference schedule, an at-large bid is a major long shot). But the Crusaders looked like anything but spoilers on Friday night, managing to play a game that was ugly enough to match those hideous purple uniforms. UMass had exactly one true “blowout” win last year (our trip to Gutterson!) and so it’s good to get one of those at home to improve the students’ opinion of this program, even if it did make the second half of the game almost a little boring. It was also pretty cool that after not seeing a hat trick at home my entire time at UMass, we (and all of the freshmen, incidentally) have now seen two at home this year. Of course, Allen didn’t get credit for his trick until one of Guzzo’s goals was changed to him later in the game, which is funny because we were cheering the entire third period for Guzzo to get what we thought would be his OWN hat trick. Still, Stephen and the rest of the Minutemen looked solid from beginning to end and took care of business early and often. As Matt pointed out after the game, you can tell that Toot didn’t even have to yell at his team too much given how intact his voice was during the postgame interview with Brock Hines.
Last night’s game was a lot uglier, but the result was another win and, more importantly, two conference points and a clinch of at least a tie of the season series against the Huskies. Both teams came out kind of flat and played surprisingly poorly through two periods given the importance of the game for each team. Yet the Minutemen took control of the game in the third after a late power play goal by Mike “The Franchise” Pereira tied the game late in the 2nd off a nice rebound on a King Phillips shot (good to have him back!) and Gracel put UMass ahead for good in the third. The Huskies, to their credit, turned up the intensity at the end, including a scary minute where Mikey almost gave us all a heart attack at least three times trying to clear the puck with NU on the 6-on-5, but Syner’s empty-netter from his own blue line was a thing of beauty, the kind of game-clinching goal that UMass is finally, finally starting to get. Has the worm turned on their inability to close out close games? Fingers crossed. We’ll see what this team is made of with a pair against disappointing Maine and upstart Lowell next weekend…more on that later this week.
(Sidebar: Speaking of ugly, those two puck sluts I relentlessly tweeted about all game long. We’re talking the most disgustingly spray-tanned skanks you’ll ever see, beyond trashed, so completely clueless that they cheered for Northeastern’s first goal of the night. I’m only half-joking when I say that the Mullins Center staff needs to wash and disinfect the boards in front of Section S that these two were grinding on. I’m all for team spirit, but come on now, show the slightest bit of class. I think I’m asking for too much here.)
Lastly, some thoughts on the Rage at the Cage Friday night. I’ll certainly take a comfortable 18-point win any day of the week, no matter who they’re playing, especially how last season finished. It was disheartening to be down by four at halftime to a Southern Conference team, but when you consider one of our key players (Putney) got hurt and missed most of the game (and the team looked visibly shaken for several minutes, and who can blame them given how scary the injury was), and Riley and Morgan were a combined 2-for-2351 (give or take) from the field, putting up 85 points regardless was something I’ll gladly take. The pressure defense was a mixed bag – sometimes it looked stifling, other times it led to easy looks in transition that the Phoenix simply failed to make, but the guys played with a refreshing amount of energy.
Looking at individual players – there was a lot to be pleased with. The biggest story, of course, is the debut of Chaz Williams, who looks like everything we could have possibly dreamed of at point guard. Shooting, court vision, great hands on defense, even some rebounding for a little guy. The spark when he’s on the court reminded me of the Daryl Traynham era, only his game is clearly a step ahead of Daryl’s, plus his defensive strategy isn’t as…ahem…aggressive as Daryl’s. You gotta remember that this team hasn’t had a true point guard for a whole season since C-Lowe (sorry, Gary), and DK’s sloppy implementation of the dribble-drive definitely did not fit Lowe’s game at all. Now we’re finally seeing the benefits of several years of putting together a team and a system that fits the team, and Chaz appears to be the perfect man to quarterback this offense. Aside from that, his game is electrifying – even when UMass was winning early last year, they’ve rarely been fun to watch in the Kellogg era. Chaz is the most exciting player this team’s had since Tony Gaffney, and that’s a BIG plus when it comes to getting the attendance numbers back up.
Aside from Chaz, Terrell Vinson had some great numbers coming off the bench – it’s early, but if this is going to be the year he finally breaks through, this was certainly a good start. The other new guys – Esho and Lalanne – got some minutes, and though both seem pretty raw, they both look like they’ll bring good size. Cady got a longer look than Maxie, and while his awareness needs work, there’s surely some potential going forward. Really, the only negatives you can take from this game were the play of Riley and Morgan. Not only did the offense struggle mightily whenever Chaz left the court, but two of them (Freddy in particular) took some atrocious shots (we’re talking “contested, several feet behind the line with 33 on the shot clock” atrocious). I did think both of them looked a little better on the defensive end, but, well, it’s Elon – these guys weren’t hitting the broad side of a barn. The thing is, we know that both Freddie and Jesse are actually capable of catching fire and hitting these shots, but that doesn’t make it less cringe-inducing when they launch ’em, particularly when everyone else is in a good rhythm. Moreover, if Chaz and Vinson (and to a lesser extent two guys who quietly had great games as well, Javorn Farrell and Sampson Carter) are going to fill the scoring void left by Gurley, the Minutemen can look at their 2-guards’ shooting as a bonus. Last year, UMass only rallied past Rider on opening night because Riley and Gurley caught fire on those kinds of shots. Friday proved that UMass can beat an inferior team without clicking on all cylinders, something that wasn’t necessarily the case the past few years. Hopefully the two of them can find their shot as the season goes on, because if they’re on, this offense looks pretty damn good.
Next up for the Minutemen – hey, how ’bout that – the Northeastern Huskies come to town tomorrow night. I don’t anticipate that the buzz of opening night will necessarily translate to a good Monday night turnout against an America East foe, but for now, I’m not concerned about attendance. I am a slightly bit concerned about Putney’s injury, and I doubt we’ll see him in this week’s games, but I’m actually confident that UMass can take care of business against NU and NJIT without him, and that he can be back as UMass goes for 4-0 at BC. Jinxes be damned – in Chaz we trust.
Kubbie Points for the weekend:

Hong Kong’s privacy chief has said there is no law in Hong Kong to force companies to reveal data leaks. However, he encouraged them to be morally responsible in disclosing such incidents.
Cathay Pacific revealed last week that the personal data of 9.4 million passengers had been leaked, seven months after it had discovered suspicious activity on its network in March.
Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data Stephen Wong said some countries made it a legal requirement for companies to reveal data leaks, but such rules were absent in Hong Kong.
“I can expect that, in some situations that when similar incidents occur, [companies] would not reveal them – it would not tell the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, and would not tell affected customers,” Wong said on an RTHK radio programme on Monday. “This is not a violation of regulations under the current laws – we can only encourage responsible organisations to reveal them.”
“This is not a legal responsibility, but a moral responsibility,” he added.
The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, effective since May, stipulates that regulated companies must reveal data leaks within 72 hours. Wong said it was reasonable for firms to reveal data leaks within such a time period.
“As to why it should be within three days, I speculate that it is because of two-days weekends… I believe 72 hours is a tolerant and reasonable requirement.”
He said that his office has initiated a review of current law, and it will actively consider whether to follow the EU requirement.
Wong said his office has initiated a compliance check on the public information provided by Cathay Pacific. He said his office would conduct a deeper investigation if any apparent violation of privacy regulations was found. For instance, there may have been inadequate preventive measures.
Wong also said his office had received 24 complaints and 27 enquiries.
His office sent a preliminary questionnaire to Cathay Pacific last Thursday and gave them ten days to answer, but there has not been a response as yet.
Wong said his office has experts who will examine the airline’s response, and it may also engage overseas experts. | <urn:uuid:8f18c371-5a87-49f8-b177-48260a75bac0> | CC-MAIN-2018-47 | https://www.hongkongfp.com/2018/10/29/no-law-force-firms-reveal-data-leaks-says-hong-kong-privacy-chief-amid-cathay-scandal/ | 2018-11-21T19:51:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-47/segments/1542039750800.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20181121193727-20181121215727-00242.warc.gz | en | 0.980978 | 445 | [

root canals may cause illness
The possibility that conventional root canal treatments may cause illness is very real. They have been controversial since the turn of the century, when formaldehyde was used to treat the nerve which inevitably killed it, and the bone around the tooth, as well. While the normal dental profession has been striving to improve the technique, much research has shown that even modern root canals pose health hazards to the body. This is due to the delirious effects of residual infections; from the seepage of toxic substances still used in the process; and from the interference of the flow of bio-electrical energy through acupuncture meridians associated with all the organs of the body.
All conventional root canals still do employ toxic substances to sterilize the interior of the tooth, such as eugenol (oil of clove) and formocresol (formaldehyde-creosote). Most dentists also use gutta-percha to fill the canal. Gutta-percha is a latex material, to which some people are allergic. Since gutta-percha does not show up on x-rays, heavy metals, including mercury and lead, are added, sometimes up to 20% of its content. Other chemicals it may contain include formocreasol or parachlorophenol. These substances can cause inflammation and infection, allergic reactions, and compromise the immune system.
In the 1950s, Reinhold Voll, a German M.D., using an electro-acupuncture biofeedback system he had developed, discovered that each tooth in the mouth relates to a specific acupuncture meridian. He found that if a tooth became infected or diseased, the organ on the same meridian would also become unhealthy. (Conversely, he found that a diseased organ could cause a problem with its corresponding tooth.)
When you have a root canal, or even a big filling, or crown or anything that is not compatible with the body, it sets up an interference field blocking or altering the energy meridian passing through it. It will affect different parts along that meridian, different organ systems in the body. And usually will cause it to have a problem as well.
If the tooth is removed, the energy does tend to pass through it. However, without the tooth in the bone, it is still altered. Without stimulation from a tooth, blood circulation and lymphatic drainage will be impaired, and the bone and tissue surrounding the cavitation can become diseased and die. Infections in the teeth, and toxins, have no place to go but down; down into the jaw bone and into the rest of the body, creating systemic pathologies.

Barbara’s Quick & Healthy Tuna Pasta: This One Cures Common Cold
Did I tell you about how I don’t like February??
This month started very bad for me; my bellowed Patriots lost, and like always, almost everyone in the house got sick. You wouldn’t believe me, but this is the third February I’m treating my sick boys & my hubby.
Either is a virus or a common cold, but we just can’t get to surpass this issue. (Luckily, I manage to survive that without health issues, only tiredness.)
This year it started with my youngster, coughing while returning from school. Later that day, my hubby started coughing as well.
In a blink of an eye, all three of them turned to whining, grumpy cry-babies.
You can imagine my life for the last couple of days.
Still, I managed to do something good for this blog, and incorporate something healthy and fresh at the same time, while spending the minimum time possible.
I used an old trick – a healthy recipe I learned about two years ago, which is insanely quick and easy, requires minimum ingredients and can help a sick person to recover faster.
Hungry for more tuna? Check out Subway Tuna Recipe!
Could you believe I made this dish in 7 minutes?
As you can see, this looks completely simple, right?
The best thing about it are the lemons behind the bowl; the juice is the one that makes this meal a bit sour while synergizing with oregano and a tiny bit of cream to create the semi-transparent sauce.
The tuna is just a regular canned one (I think it was StarKist, can’t remember), dried out and covered with this simple coating.
Low mercury, the proteins and Omega-3 fats combined with a lemon sauce and oregano create a Mediterranean sensation, and the health benefits of tuna are well-known.
Depending on the lemon-to-cream relation you use in the dish (depending further on the amount of tuna & pasta, of course), the meal can be salty, or a bit sourer.
As we all know, lemon is rich in Vitamin C, and I’m all about getting it in as much as possible to fight the flu/cold /virus.
So if you have a bunch of sick boys in the house, this meal is an ultra-quick, ultra-easy solution for situations when you’re tired and have to make something for cry-babies.
I made around eight portions of this dish, so I could leave the leftovers for tomorrow (remember, pasta can last around three days in the fridge), and this one isn’t strong on sauce while lemon extends its lifetime.
A triple win, you might say, right?
Ingredients (for four servings)
- Cook the pasta – standard procedure; boil the water (make sure you season it with salt) and cook it with an occasional stir, until al dente. Dry it out in a large colander and let it stay there for a minute or two while you perform the following steps. (Leave a tiny bit of starchy water from cooking. It will be great for blending the pasta with the sauce.)
- Dry the tuna from oil – this is not mandatory if you use olive oil canned tuna, and want your pasta moist.
- Combine lemon juice with cream and oregano, and mix with the starchy water in the pot where you cooked the pasta – simple whisking and combining. My younger son does this sometimes while I’m taking care of pasta. Mix well, and try it after you’re done. It should be a salty and bit sour, but that’s what you’re after.
- Combine pasta, tuna, and sauce in the pot. Mix well.
- Serve in small cute bowls or anything you like.
There you have it!
I can’t believe how quick and easy this meal is, and how good and happy I felt when I fed my sick boys & my hubby.
The combination of sour and tuna went significantly better than I supposed! 🙂

The Dalia Association Palestinian Community Fund supports the Dalia Association, which is a Palestinian community foundation that empowers local Palestinians through giving. The fund’s purpose is to engage the Palestinian diaspora in the U.S. by involving them in supporting community-led development in Palestine.
At Dalia our mission is to mobilize and properly utilize resources necessary to empower a vibrant, independent and accountable civil society, through community controlled grant-making. Our approach focuses on the ecological, local economy, social and cultural dimensions. We aim to strengthen community philanthropy in Palestine and the Diaspora, because we believe that everyone in our community has something to give, by contributing our talents, resources, and energies for a thriving Palestine.
How do we do it?
- Making grants to support inspirational and relevant civil society initiatives, especially grassroots efforts that seek to supplement local resources.
- Link resources by introducing people with expertise, ideas, contacts, equipment, and other assets to community activists who can use them to serve their communities. This helps decrease our dependence on outside resources.
- Hold convenings (In Arabic, Mujaawarah): to raise awareness around issues that affect the Palestinian civil society, such as the use of local resources to achieve our own durable development, creative thinking for social change, non-cash resources markets, among many other round table discussions, workshops, and field visits.
- Encourage giving by locals, companies, and Diaspora Palestinians. We revive local traditions of philanthropy and volunteerism, known as Al Ouna.
- Advocate for systemic change in the international aid system so that it respects Palestinian rights and responds to local priorities.
Our programs are community controlled; meaning that the community decides through a voting process how each grant is spent. The community identifies its priorities and needs by holding public meetings where initiatives are discussed to address these needs and urgencies. They develop solutions and present them in another public meeting. The people then vote for the best initiatives that benefit them as an entire community.
The Village Decides Program (VD)
This program focuses on the entire village, including all members, such as men, women, children, youth, and persons with disabilities.
Women Supporting Women Program (WSW)
The WSW program brings together women to mobilize local resources for local or regional projects of their choice. This program is entirely run by women, and extends funding solely to women’s organizations or individuals with an aim to benefit their local community.
IBDA’ Youth Program
We established the IBDA’ youth -controlled grant-making program in 2016, to create an enabling environment for the participation of youth in the Palestinian economy. The program focuses on enhancing opportunities for youth to become leaders in their communities.
By supporting the Dalia Association Palestinian Community Fund, you can help give Palestinians agency over their own resources, and the right to determine their own needs.Give to this fund | <urn:uuid:92cb10be-4bc7-4875-8ad5-764371bf4e0f> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.centeraap.org/funds/view-our-funds/dalia-association-palestinian-community-fund/ | 2019-11-13T09:24:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667177.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113090217-20191113114217-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.932812 | 597 | [

The struggles of so-called British Home Children have become a mostly overlooked or forgotten part of Canada’s history, says a Collingwood author.
Gloria Phillips, who is scheduled to speak on home children Saturday at an event in Owen Sound, said few of the people who were part of the immigration scheme passed on their stories because of the stigma once attached to it.
But it’s vital that people learn about the poor boys and girls who were separated from their families in the United Kingdom and sent to Canada to aid with manual labour and domestic duties, she said.
“It’s a huge chunk of Canada’s history,” said Phillips, whose grandfather was a home child.
“We’re working today to try and bring that to the front and centre so people will be aware of it. When you go out and speak to people about it, a lot of people have never heard of home children.”
People can learn more about British Home Children during a memorial event for George Green, a home child known as a Barnardo Boy who was beaten to death at a farm near Big Bay in 1895 at age 17.
Phillips, author of “A Pilgrim Passing Through,” is one of the people scheduled to speak at the event, which is being put on by the Owen Sound & North Grey Union Public Library and British Home Children Advocacy and Research Association.
Phillips said an estimated four million Canadians — or 12% of the population — are believed to be descendants of a British Home Child.
“They built our country,” she said.
About 118,000 children were sent to Canada from England, Scotland, Ireland, The Isle of Man and Wales between 1833 and 1939 under the child immigration scheme.
Saturday’s event is scheduled to begin with the dedication of a memorial stone for George Green in the Big Bay cemetery in Georgian Bluffs.
A presentation on British Home Children, featuring talks by Phillips, author Sandra Joyce and the advocacy association’s founder Lori Oschefski, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. at the Owen Sound library.
Artifacts and photo and memorial quilts will be on display and books will be available for purchase.
Free advance tickets are available at the library. | <urn:uuid:b43d6dd9-05bb-4566-b644-9d9b53e4b22a> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.owensoundsuntimes.com/2013/06/12/british-home-children-focus-of-owen-sound-event/wcm/93127ffe-d276-797b-4cc1-55124a28107c | 2019-11-13T10:51:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496667177.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20191113090217-20191113114217-00282.warc.gz | en | 0.970226 | 477 | [

Arlington, VA—President Obama created quite the shit-storm today after a speech that many are calling “really bad.” Obama never mentioned the military during his 34 minute speech, but he did mention himself 23 times and Obamacare 12 times. This omission of anything relevant to those lost in battle is being considered a snub by military personnel and their families.
Obama looked almost jovial as he said, “Let’s not forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice, their paychecks, so that I could personally—or at least indirectly through government programs—support them for their braveness throughout their lifespans.”
Obama went on to say, “And lest we forget the hipsters and their courageous decision to drink Pabst Blue Ribbon, instead of beer with any actual flavor. I think that shows both outstanding character and conviction. Blessed are the liberal art folks, who can’t find anything relevant to do in our society except vote for people like me. I would say God bless these folks, had I a religious bone in my body. But I don’t (laughs). What we really need to begin is the hard work, and by hard I mean a move toward a three day work week, which if I’m doing my math correctly, means a four day weekend. This is even more time for people to spend government handouts and become more dependent on the government in the future.”
*Actually Obama did honor those fallen, by thinking twice before sticking them in between a Sunni and Shiite civil war, by relying more heavily on regional forces, drones, and intelligence. We may yet become more drawn in to this growing debacle, but Obama honors those lost by at least attempting to lose less. | <urn:uuid:b8f68ab6-1a5e-48c0-87a3-8f92d279881e> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://www.dailydiscord.com/?p=2980 | 2019-11-17T04:30:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668787.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117041351-20191117065351-00042.warc.gz | en | 0.978764 | 361 | [

It’s almost impossible not to notice text-speak clumsily butting its way into other modes of conversation. I often hear people say “LOL” and “WTF?”; I mean, they SAY it. They SAY double-u-tee-eff. This amuses me, since the abbreviation takes longer to say than the original.
I’m less amused about the current tragic state of the apostrophe. And I’m not talking about tricky stuff, like being able to smoothly show that Sara Jones and her entire family own a mailbox. I’m talking about sentences like:
My grandmothers house is brick.
The executive start’s the meeting at 11:00.
The apostrophe is dying, and people are trying to revive it by placing it as the penultimate character in every word that ends in an “s.” It’s one thing to forget an apostrophe, but the second example shows a basic lack of understanding about apostrophes.
I can’t help wonder what English will look like in another 50 years. Maybe Taylor Mali has a point in Speak with Conviction. Maybe we’ll be even more afraid to make declarative sentences. Maybe we’ll just use question marks as our only form of punctuation. Like, you know?
The executive start?s the meeting at 11:00.
Yes, that looks better, doesn’t it? I mean, it makes as much sense as the version with the apostrophe, doesn’t it?
But if we look at language as an ever-changing entity, maybe we don’t have to feel as doomsday about this. We hold precious what we know, but possibly, as we gripe about what texting is doing to our language, we are oversimplifying what’s happening.
In Troilus and Criseyde, Geoffrey Chaucer writes:
Ye knowe eek, that in forme of speche is chaunge
With-inne a thousand yeer, and wordes tho
That hadden prys, now wonder nyce and straunge
Us thinketh hem; and yet they spake hem so,
And spedde as wel in love as men now do; (Part II, lines 22-26)
This is exactly the type of smooth-talking language you hear out in the singles clubs, right?
The translation? Chaucer’s basically saying that, back in ancient Greece, which is the setting for Troilus and Criseyde, men used some pretty crazy words to hit on their ladies.
In Modern English, the passage reads:
Remember in the forms of speech comes change
Within a thousand years, and words that then
Were well esteemed, seem foolish now and strange;
And yet they spoke them so, time and again,
And thrived in love as well as any men (translation by George Philip Krapp)
I love this. Since we know he was very aware of the protean aspects of language, I picture him fully realizing the irony this excerpt would hold for future readers. Chaucer’s language, which we now call Middle English, is so archaic to us that we need a translator. Chaucer helped birth a language that later became archaic, but I wonder if he would be primarily saddened or fascinated by what happened to his little baby as he sent it out of the nest to make its own path in the world. His language isn’t dead; it has just changed, a lot.
Over the next few posts, I want to talk about what Peter Elbow and Jennifer Egan have to say about language. But even more, I’d like to hear what you have to say about language. Is English decaying? What do you expect of English in the next 50 years? If you anticipate its decay, do you see any silver lining? | <urn:uuid:5e7f0d6f-166a-43ed-bf7f-e362c98d9f84> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://amandahartmiller.com/tag/writing/ | 2019-11-17T04:15:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496668787.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20191117041351-20191117065351-00042.warc.gz | en | 0.965078 | 826 | [

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced it has begun a cost-benefit study of an upcoming attestation requirement for small businesses under Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley. Section 404(b) requires an auditor's attestation on management's assessment. The agency also proposed a one-year extension of the Section 404(b) requirement for smaller companies. This delay doesn't mean companies need to be lax in compliance to Sarbox. Read Lora Bentley's article on making this extension work to your favor.

Yes, there are times when the sound of one’s voice takes us by surprise…
Just last week, I was speaking to a concerned colleague who called me for help. During a tense and demanding conversation, her voice, as she put it, ‘dropped out.. was ‘missing in action’.
“It has never happened before, Sandra! It just fell away, disappeared, turned into a strangled croak and then… there was an embarrassed silence…” ……… “We’ve all been under pressure at work. It has been challenging and people are tired and cranky. So could that be the cause?”
Yes it could… and it could also relate to other factors – dry, cold air, changes in air conditioning systems, also, shifts in the way that the speaker was standing, sitting, holding tension in her throat, breathing, swallowing, the list goes on…
So what, if anything, can be done about it!
Knowing that things could go off track during conversations, being aware of changes in your state, noticing that your energy levels are falling or rising, picking up changes in your communication partner and how they are focusing on, drifting from or rising to a challenge… all and any of these types of energy interactions can play out or play up in your voice.
Your level of awareness as and when you speak will help you manage your voice and its potentially distracting behaviours.
Awareness is not self-consciousness. Awareness is a neutral state of noticing. It is central to you being able to pick up on a change in your voice’s quality as you are speaking.
We explored that it was her ability to notice which concerned my colleague. The ability to tune in, to relate to that aspect of her voice and its unique behaviours which she experienced in that particular spoken word context, that caused her concern.
Being able to notice, enables someone, anyone, to:
- take a neutral stance
- dispassionately observe
- gather information
- assess the situation
- recover equilibrium
- move towards a solution
Try out these tips and let me know what you discovered about your voice’s response to awkward and challenging situations. | <urn:uuid:eedc9e00-dfad-4ce2-8379-bc553fc56403> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://voice-word.com.au/what-caused-that/ | 2019-11-18T16:06:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669809.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118154801-20191118182801-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.970995 | 459 | [

Some experts can continue working until 70, says Cabinet
Civil servants working in areas at risk of personnel shortages are to be allowed to postpone their retirements until the age of 70, says Government House.
The idea was to curb shortages of personnel in key areas and to support the country’s upcoming “fully-fledged ageing society” status, said a source.
The Cabinet on Tuesday approved in principle an amendment to an Office of the Civil Service Commission (OCSC) regulation that usually requires employees to retire at 60.
A first-stage extension would allow the officials in question to continue working for an extra four years and a second extension for a further three years. The maximum extension period must not exceed 10 years or allow for people over 70 to still be working, according to the OCSC’s proposal.
The Cabinet gave its approval in principle to the amendment, meaning it might require further changes and a final approval before being implemented.
It also ordered that the amendment only apply to those fields at risk of personnel shortages and must be academic experts of Level 9-10 or be in the “senior” “special skill” officials who have served in those rare fields for at least one year.
The positions the over-60s are allowed to work in could be their old jobs or other existing positions – but their new work cannot be in new jobs that have just specially created for them, the cabinet stipulated. | <urn:uuid:7c76335e-e715-4267-9913-298e7a61ec11> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://www.pattayaone.news/some-experts-continue-working/ | 2019-11-18T16:49:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496669809.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20191118154801-20191118182801-00202.warc.gz | en | 0.965518 | 296 | [

(PLP PR Media Inc.) — Following the passage and destruction caused by Hurricane Irma, Prime Minister of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis Dr the Hon Timothy Harris is praising his sub-regional counterparts for coordinating a centralised rapid post-hurricane response.
“It is perhaps one of the first times that we have had this level of centralisation of the coordination at the sub-regional level with respect to the passage of hurricanes here,” said Prime Minister Harris at a Press Conference held at the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport on Sunday September 10.
“We are grateful for the leadership of Prime Minister Allen Chastanet (of St. Lucia) at this particular moment in time in our history, and for the stewardship of Dr Didacus Jules who mans the OECS Commission.”
Prime Minister Chastanet was leading a team that also included the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica the Hon Roosevelt Skerrit that visited Anguilla and the British Virgin Islands to assess first-hand the damage caused by the passage of Hurricane Irma.
St. Kitts and Nevis was their third stop where they were due to visit and see the damage inflicted to the north-east parts of the island of St. Kitts. However, due to the delay caused by impassable roads in the BVI, they arrived late in St. Kitts and were therefore not able to tour the affected areas. After St. Kitts they were due to travel to Antigua.
Prime Minister Harris thanked the team for opting to visit the four countries that had been impacted by Hurricane Irma, and Jose to a lesser extent, and for the successful attempt to coordinate the response of support to all of the islands.
After Prime Minister Chastanet gave an account of the damages they witnessed in the BVI, Prime Minister Harris noted: “I think people understand we have been more fortunate than most, and in that regard, there are still lessons that we should now include in how we are to rearrange our bureaucracies to be better able to respond more timely to the challenges that eventuate thereafter, and before.”
Dr Harris, who is also the Minister of National Security said he hoped that with the excellent show of solidarity the country had from Prime Minister Chastanet through the supply crews to assist with the reconnection of electricity and water in St. Kitts that in short order all areas and all individual households would be fully connected.
“So we ask the public to be a bit more patient as there is a normal disruption that follows any hurricane and in the context of the one that threatened St. Kitts and Nevis it could have been a lot, lot worse,” pleaded Prime Minister Harris. “The additional human resource that we have from St. Lucia puts us in a better position to expedite that.”
To his sub-regional counterparts, Dr Harris advised them that the three hospitals in St. Kitts which are substantially underutilised as the country was spared any loss of life would be available to assist any of the neighbouring islands that are suffering and the facilities would be available should the need arise.
“It has been really remarkable, the kind of goodwill and support that I have seen across our region and knowing that each leader is really standing shoulder to shoulder with all of us,” pointed out Dr Harris. “And we are fortunate to have Prime Minister Skerrit and Prime Minister Chastanet, but I am sure they are carrying the love and the caring of all the other heads particularly those of us who sit around the councils of the OECS audience.”
At the Press Conference, part of the water reconnection crew from St. Lucia was introduced, while the Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Dominica Hon Roosevelt Skerrit pledged EC$500,000 to assist St. Kitts and Nevis with its post hurricane recovery programme.
Prime Minister Harris also thanked Prime Minister Chastanet for allowing for the safe harbour of the St. Kitts and Nevis Defence Force Coast Guard Stalwart in St. Lucia during the passage of Hurricane Irma.
“So again I want to say thank you gentlemen for coming to see St. Kitts and Nevis, we are recovering and we are working hard to get there, we are open to business,” concluded Prime Minister Harris. “I think it was on Saturday we were able to receive flights from New York direct and our hotels all of them remain intact and so we are grateful for at least these mercies among others.”
Present at the Press Conference were members of the St. Kitts and Nevis Cabinet, Deputy Prime Minister the Hon Shawn Richards, Minister of Tourism Hon Lindsay Grant, Minister of Infrastructure Hon Ian Patches Liburd, and the Minister of Lands and Housing the Hon Eugene Hamilton. Prime Minister Harris noted that Senior Minister and Premier of Nevis the Hon Vance Amory and Foreign Affairs Minister the Hon Mark Brantley were engaged with recovery activities in Nevis.
Also at the Press Conference were Cabinet Secretary Mrs Josephine Huggins, Ambassador His Excellency Michael Powell, Ambassador His Excellency Sydney Osborne, and Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Senator the Hon Akilah Byron-Nisbett.
Prime Minister Harris also paid a glowing tribute to Mr Bertill Browne who is the coordinator for the restoration processes at SKELEC, Mr Crowell Williams the Director of Public Works, and Mr T. Denison Paul the water engineer, who were present at the Press Conference. | <urn:uuid:91d99631-110e-4908-b85d-20921612f1f5> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | https://zizonline.com/pm-harris-praises-sub-regional-leaders-for-the-unprecedented-response-after-hurricane-irma/ | 2019-11-20T04:57:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670448.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20191120033221-20191120061221-00362.warc.gz | en | 0.971379 | 1,152 | [

The purpose of this study was two-fold:
(1) to test the factor structure of a recently developed Norwegian scale for measuring teacher self-efficacy, and
(2) to explore relations between teachers' perception of the school context, teacher self-efficacy, collective teacher efficacy, teacher burnout, teacher job satisfaction, and teachers' beliefs that factors external to teaching puts limitations to what they can accomplish.
2249 Norwegian teachers in elementary school and middle school participated in this study.
The data were analyzed by means of structural equation modelling using the AMOS 7 program.
Teacher self-efficacy, collective efficacy and two dimensions of burnout were differently related both to school context variables and to teacher job satisfaction. | <urn:uuid:d235053f-bbf1-4341-9340-c67eece2f10f> | CC-MAIN-2019-47 | http://education.eng.macam.ac.il/article/1998 | 2019-11-21T16:46:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-47/segments/1573496670921.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20191121153204-20191121181204-00522.warc.gz | en | 0.965263 | 221 | [
