A bladeless fan is an interesting electronic appliance to keep in a house. However, most of them cost a fortune. Well, not if you make one for yourself. Well, a guy named Neil Paskin made a wooden bladeless fan from scratch using some glue and a cheap portable fan.
In a 28-minute video, Neil Paskin from the YouTube channel “Pask Makes” built a bladeless fan simply using some wooden planks, some glue and a portable fan that he bought online. Now, fair warning, he had all the necessary tools that helped him to build the fan completely from scratch.
First, he started the video by preparing some wooden planks while explaining his plan to make the fan. After preparing the wood pieces, he cut them into small pieces using a “wedgie” machine. Then he stuck the pieces together to make 12 pieces of rings with 3 different diameters. This means 4 big rings, 4 smaller rings to fit inside the bigger rings and another 4 very small rings that would make the stand for the fan. After that, he attached the rings together to build the rings.
Then used his tools to shape the rings into appropriate sizes so that all of them fit together. All this work took great precision and the guy used many innovative techniques to do the same. Finally, he bought a portable fan from an online platform and took it apart. He took the main control unit and the blade part of the fan and got rid of the unnecessary parts.
Then he modified his unit to fit the fan and Voila! There he had a wooden bladeless fan. Now, the way it works is when he turns on the fan that is underneath the hollow ring, the air travels up and passes through a slit between the inner and the outer rings of the fan.
The project took him just two days to complete and the final result was an amazing looking wooden bladeless fan that cost him much less than any of the bladeless fans available in the market. You can check out the video on his YouTube channel or simply press the play button above to watch it right away. | <urn:uuid:3c9635bc-6b66-4d12-9ba2-06d3fe602855> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://beebom.com/this-guy-built-a-wooden-bladeless-fan-from-scratch-and-it-looks-amazing/ | 2020-07-02T19:40:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655879738.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20200702174127-20200702204127-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.962686 | 440 | [

The gram-positive spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax, a rare fatal disease which is initiated, in its most severe form, by inhalation of infected spores. Due to the severity of the disease, the ease of respiratory infection and the everlasting resistance of the spores to unfavorable environmental conditions, B. anthracis is considered a potential biological warfare agent, and in recent years the need for novel reliable diagnostic approaches, improved vaccination strategies, novel therapeutic targets and better understanding of the pathogenesis, have been widely acknowledged. Global surveys combined with serological study of B. anthracis were carried out at IIBR, for identification of vaccine and diagnostic marker candidates among extracellular (secreted or membranal) proteins. These studies indeed revealed a list of proteins that can serve as potential biomarkers, based on their immunogenicity (which probes their in vivo expression), abundance under various culture conditions, and functional relatedness to infection. Furthermore, these studies identified novel virulence factors whose genetic disruption enabled development of novel vaccine strains (see attached IIBR references).
The presence of bacterial secreted proteins in the circulation of B. anthracis infected rabbits, was addressed using specific antibodies generated by DNA vaccination against the previously selected immunogenic proteins. The search enabled the successful detection of three secreted proteins uniquely expressed by B. anthracis, HtrA (BA3660), endopeptidase BA1952 and a protein of unknown function (BA0796). All of these proteins are potential virulence-related factors. The three biomarkers appear to be present only in the secretome of B. anthracis and not in those of the related pathogens B. thuringiensis, B. cereus. The presence of B. anthracis secreted proteins other than the bacterial toxin in the circulation of infected animals enabled establishment of a novel approach for early detection of B. anthracis infection in clinical samples.
Detection of HtrA, the NlpC/P60-domain endopeptidase and the product of gene BA0796 in blood culture using specific antibodies.
Live attenuated anthrax vaccines, such as the nonencapsulated Sterne strain, do not meet the safety standards mandated for human use in the Western world and are approved for veterinary purposes only. We demonstrated that disrupting the htrA gene, encoding the chaperone/protease HtrA (High Temperature Requirement A), in a virulent Bacillus anthracis strain resulted in significant virulence attenuation in guinea pigs, rabbits and mice. Accordingly, htrA disruption was implemented for the development of a novel Sterne-derived safe live vaccine compatible with human use. The novel B. anthracis strain secretes functional anthrax toxins but is 10-104-fold less virulent than the Sterne vaccine strain depending on animal model (mice, guinea pigs, or rabbits). In spite of this attenuation, double or even single immunization elicits immune responses which target toxaemia and bacteremia resulting in protection from subcutaneous or respiratory lethal challenge with a virulent strain in guinea pigs and rabbits. The efficacy of the immune-protective response in guinea pigs was maintained for at least 50 weeks after a single immunization.
Guinea pigs vaccinated with a novel live attenuated anthrax vaccine are protected against respiratory infection with a fully virulent strain of Bacillus anthracis.

The Dalai Lama’s Ethics for the New Millennium is rather compelling to read. This book’s central theme is based on the virtues of compassion, love, patience, forgiveness, and humility among others. He traces his life’s journey from Tibet to his home-in-exile India, travels, lectures, and observations about life. The Dalai Lama keeps reminding readers that although he is the spiritual leader of Tibet he is still a human being like all of us.
He discusses what it means to be like children, adolescents, adults, professionals, and senior citizens. Often the Dalai Lama encourages us to live up to our responsibility of being decent human beings. It is for us to have disciplined lives, to love our neighbors, help the poor and underprivileged, and strive for the betterment of humanity. That’s why it is best to practice restrain by working on doing no harm to others.
There are many things people could do to propagate peace in their lives. They ought to live in harmony with their families, neighbors, community, nation, and the world. According to the Dalai Lama people don’t have to be religious to do such things. A great deal of what we do should come from our heart. This is so because he believes that our basic goal in life is to be happy. This same happiness people should want for all others, including their family, neighbors, and even their enemies.
Concerning world peace the Dalai Lama wasn’t happy about those who work in building arms of mass destruction. He thinks that this is a waste of resources that could be spent more wisely. Yet he was hopeful that the major powers of the world cut back on their arsenals and find peace. This he realizes isn’t exactly easy because many professionals make their living through the military industrial complex. But he was hopeful that some international organizations like UNESCO could be more effective. Although the Dalai Lama realizes that members of the public don’t have a voice in this organization.
The Dalai Lama is for supporting efforts for the existence of a clean environment. He reminisced about what it was like growing up in Tibet amidst an abundance of wildlife - animals, birds, and other species. He deplores the deforestation of lands, pollution, and the hazards caused by the use of chemicals. He therefore hopes that all these problems would be solved by people playing their rightful part in society. And Dalai Lama believes that everyone – people of all classes, rich and poor, professionals, politicians, scientists, and entrepreneurs should live compassionately by upholding the virtues in building sustainable communities, nations, and the world. | <urn:uuid:06b77f67-b8dc-4c64-be2e-0b735d3096c2> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.familylifedevotions.world/2019/11/ethics-for-new-milennium.html | 2020-07-04T12:20:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886121.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704104352-20200704134352-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.970062 | 535 | [

(I’d like to start by saying that this title is dedicated to Theo Radomski, Peter J. Radomski, and Jason Hatrick.)
Stand-up comedy isn’t what it use to be. Now, what used to be known as the alternative comedy scene has become pretty much the mainstream and commonplace.
In this case, what I am calling alt comedy is the self-referential style wherein a comic acknowledges that they are performing and comments on the construction of the jokes or of the show. There’s more to alternative comedy than just that, but that’s what has become more commonplace.
Another facet of alt comedy is character comedy. This is when the comedian creates an entirely different character for the stage. I’m not writing about a comedic persona. That is usually an extension of the comedian. I mean an entirely different person embodied by the comedian. Someone with a different name, different clothes, different thoughts, different afflictions.
Contemporary comedians like Andy Daly (or Andrew as he is labeled on his album, Nine Sweaters) and Nick Kroll. Even strange impressions of real people or characters from television and film are fair game. Paul F. Tompkins’ version of Cake Boss and James Adomian’s Jesse Ventura are wonderful.
I know that Daly performs comedy as characters and Nick Kroll has also done so, but it was really the podcast Comedy Bang! Bang! that sparked my interest in character comedy. This paired with my appreciation for Saturday Night Live drove me to attempt a character on stage.

I performed at Burritoville on a Wednesday night at the Shut Up and Laugh show (which is wonderful and happens every Wednesday at 8:30 on the 2nd floor of Burritoville. Great food, great comedy. Oh, and it’s pay-what-you-can. It’s a no brainer. Come this week. I’m on.).
I had long decided to take a character I had created for a sketch onto the stage (see 1:20 into the video below). That was a few years back (I think?) and the character has evolved since then, as I have been trying to write a bunch of sketches for the character over the past year. I’ve never been satisfied with the sketches, but found the ideas fun enough to bring them to the stage.
Luckily, it worked out. I’m pleased to say that I really enjoyed it and am going to continue experimenting with character comedy.
And I would like to extend an invitation to my peers and pals in the comedy scene to give characters a shot.
In fact, I’d like to start a monthly comedy show where performers get to do exactly that. (if you know of a venue, message me on facebook! I’m still looking.)
Give it a try. You might find something out.

Daniel Carin! What can I say that isn’t already understood by a glance at his adorable smile! He is such a likeable presence and always a sure shot for a lineup. I always enjoy this man and his mannerisms. Daniel runs a Tuesday show with Chris Sandiford (SPOTLIGHT COMING SOON!) at Shaika Cafe called The Ladies and Gentlemen Show at 9pm. Also, Pay-what-you-can!
“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WELCOME TO THE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN SHOW!” is a fun thing to hear because you know you’re about to have a great time. It’s one of my favourite venues in the city. You can check out Daniel and Chris in some of their hilarious videos and their fringe show (I believe. someone correct me if I’m wrong.).
Andy Daly or Nick Kroll, take your pick.
You HAVE to listen to The Andy Daly Podcast Pilot Project and watch his show Review.
Also you HAVE to watch Kroll Show.
Just Google these guys. They’ve been around a while. They’re hilarious.

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is the government organization responsible for overseeing the lawful immigration of foreign nationals into the United States on a temporary or permanent basis. Most individuals must go through standard immigration process of obtaining a visa outside the US and travel to the US where the visa is presented for inspection to gain legal entry into the states. There are certain circumstances which could make it necessary for an otherwise ineligible individual to visit the United States. Without the availability of humanitarian parole, that is not possible. The USCIS can be asked to authorize temporary humanitarian relief to a foreign national in any of the following situations:
- To visit a family member who has sustained fatal injury or contracted a serious injury from which he or she is unlikely to recover
- To attend the funeral of a deceased family member
- To obtain urgent and proper medical care, which is otherwise unable in your home country
- To give testimony as a key witness in a trial being held here in the U.S.
Not all individuals will qualify for humanitarian parole. This type of immigration relief is only granted in limited circumstances and is not a substitute for any other type of visitor or temporary visa. If you or family member is granted humanitarian parole, it is important you adhere to the specific restrictions and time limitations imposed by the USCIS. Generally permanent residency or other immigration status is not permitted to be pursued while in the U.S. under humanitarian parole. Temporary work authorization is often permitted if the circumstances of your stay merit employment.

With so many videos on YouTube showing step by step strategies to update your home, it’s very enticing to tackle projects yourself. The fear of learning something new might be less daunting than choosing a contractor who you don’t have experience with.
So what are some things to consider when updating your home and deciding to do it yourself vs. hiring a contractor?
We all wish we had more time. Time constraints are one of the biggest hurdles for most families attempting a “DIY” project. It is common to completely underestimate the amount of time it will take to complete a project because for most people attempting a DIY, it’s the first time trying to do it. However, if you have the time, and you enjoy the challenge of learning something new, the pride and sense of accomplishment from updating your home can be very rewarding. The key here is to make sure you have the time necessary to accomplish the project. Hiring the right contractor can help eliminate the lack of personal time required to invest in your home project.
SCOPE OF WORK
Simple home projects updates like changing cabinets or painting your interior, DIY could be the ideal solution if you have the time and willingness to try something new. If your home project is simple, it can be a rewarding experience to do it yourself. On the other hand, if you plan to do multiple updates; maybe open up a few walls, new roof, or updating your kitchen and bathrooms, then hiring the right contractor can be the best decision. When scope is simple, savings can be substantial. But when scope increases savings decrease.
When I talk to people that have done projects themselves it seems to be a mixed bag. Some people are extremely happy because they did the work themselves. They feel like they have saved a significant amount of money. That can be the case when people have the right contacts for supplies and thorough research has been done. However, others discovered that their home project actually cost them more money than they had budgeted for. What people don’t know is they’re often paying substantially more for their materials than a contractor would pay.
The amount of time a project will take, the amount of work that needs to be done and the budget you are working with will help you decide if hiring a trusted contractor or doing it yourself is going to best fit your family’s needs.

Because any content devoid of keywords is similar to having no existence on the web. There are search spiders which only look for the relevant keywords and if they don’t find that, it becomes difficult for them to show that website on the search engine result. So, it is important to ensure the target phrases or keywords and regularly inculcate on the website. If the keywords and the important texts are included in the headings, titles, sub-titles, etc. chances of getting visible by the search engine is more. Website owners should always keep on updating the pages of the websites in order to increase the ranking of the website or to increase the traffic on the website. If the content is rich, no one can stop people from visiting your website.
- The page or the website which is visible to the user or the customer is not very easy to build. There are lot of databases and codes accessed in order to make a website look like what it usually looks like. There is lot of coding done by the professionals in order to make the content structured and readable to the user.
- There are few instances where you have enough keywords in the content of your website but still you don’t get enough visibility for your websites. So, in order to create enough buzz for your website and make your website famous and popular one should link their website links to the other famous websites with high credibility. This will help in boosting the ratings of your website. A SEO helps in structuring these parameters and therefore are hired by website owners.

Akropong-Akuapem Nov 5, GNA – The Mampong Centre for Scientific Research into Plant Medicine (CSRPM) is to be expanded to go into commercial production of herbal medicines for the health industry.
Mr Dennis Aboagye, Akuapem North Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) who disclosed this in an exclusive interview with the GNA, said plans were advanced to position the centre to expand its farms and production.
He said already, the assembly had engaged consultants to advice as to how to go about it and assured that the assembly was committed to leveraging on the opportunities of such credible institutions to create jobs, as part of its investments drive.
The centre established by government in 1976 produces its own herbal medicines and runs an out-patient clinic, which treats more than 16,000 patients in a month.
The CSRPM also has large acres of medicinal plantations used as the source of raw material in producing the herbal medicines.
According to the MCE, the centre was currently operating at 15 per cent of its capacity with staff strength of about 300, but preliminary studies showed that when fully commercial “the centre could employ over 2,000 people including; farmers who would be direct suppliers of the medicinal plants needed for the prodcution”.
The CSRPM, existed as a purely research institution and had departments including; pharmacy/toxicology, Phytochemistry, Microbiology, Clinical Research, Pharmaceutics and Plant Development and other supporting departments.

I haven't played with Monad shell for a while, the next thing I know there is a new scripting language called "Microsoft PowerShell". At first, I thought it's a brand new language, but actually they renamed Monad and made it PowerShell.
After installation, I tried to run one of my earlier Monad scripts. Just like the previous updates of Monad, the default execution policy is "Restricted". Under this policy, you can use PowerShell interactively. No scripts are allowed. If you like to run your own scripts without signing, you need to change the execution policy. Now there is a cmdlet to change policy without using regedit. Here is the cmdlet to change the policy to RemoteSigned.

In the last 7 years I have slowly started eliminating waste from my everyday life. It began as a way to save money. While transitioning to reusable everyday products I became aware of how wasteful I was. As we know how important it is to look after our planet, potential solutions like one that can be found on sites like http://www.filecenterdms.com that allows people to scan documents digitally instead of using paper are interesting. With people doing their bit to become environmentally friendly, this can make a difference when it comes to reducing waste.
After marriage I was blown away at the amount of garbage two people could create. The desire to “be green” became more important after I became pregnant. It is important to take care of this planet, as there is only one. Whether it is investing in period furniture (which will mean fewer trees are being cut to make new furniture), using solar panels to save energy or eating less meat, making a start in becoming eco-friendly can make a big difference to this planet.
The awareness that if the world didn’t start making drastic changes the future generation would be set up for failure. With that in mind I wanted to share things that I’ve learned, and highlight some of my favorite eco-friendly and reusable products.
I started with the low hanging fruit, I eliminated plastic bags by taking my own reusable shopping bags. I rid my home of paper towels by using paperless towels. Then when pregnant I made the choice to use cloth diapers. Cloth diapers became a gateway into the world of cloth products. They opened my eyes to cloth baby wipes, cloth nursing pads and even cloth menstrual pads. Cloth isn’t always the answer but substituting bamboo is also a great option. Bamboo is one of nature’s most sustainable and renewable resources making it a perfect substitution for paper and wood products.
I am not waste-free, but I try to think green and be conscious of the chemicals I expose my family to. I want to teach my daughter to respect our planet and I strive to be a good example for her.
For those of you who feel the same way, but are not sure where to start, I have developed this list of facts on disposable vs reusable and discuss my favorite reusable products. These items are simple to replace in your everyday life.
Paperless Towels vs. Paper Towels
The Facts About Paper Towels: 13 billion pounds of paper towels are used each year. That’s over 45 pounds of paper towels per person, per year. Paper towels are not recyclable since they don’t contain much fiber, making them purely waste. This waste adds up to 254 million tons of trash globally each year.
Why Choose Paperless Towels: When I decided to make the switch to reusable products, paper towels and napkins were the first items I replaced. I use Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop Paperless Towels for everything, drying hands, mopping up spills and cleaning up my messy 19 month old after meals. As far as cleaning up messes, paperless towels are far superior to paper. Gina’s Soft Cloth Shop’s high quality towels will last you a long time, simply wash and reuse! Read a full review here.

Reusable Food/Drink Pouches vs. Disposable Food/Drink Pouches
The Facts About Disposable Food/Drink Pouches: An estimated 15 billion disposable pouches ended up in landfills in 2016. These food and drink pouches are not recyclable through your local recycling program, some can be mailed into a Terracycle program. Less than 14% of disposable pouches get recycled. Another downside to these pouches is you can’t see what is inside. Already this year there have been recalls on a few brands of food pouches due to botulism risk and mold.
Why Choose Reusable Food Pouches: I prefer the Squeasy Gear Snacker over disposable pouches for many reasons. First these snackers can be used over and over, saving me so much money. Second, I know exactly what is going into them. I enjoy making my own purees or filling them with applesauce, yogurt, smoothies, even just water and using them as a sippy cup. Squeasy Gear Snackers are made of 100% food grade silicone and are mess free. Squeeze it, flip it upside down, no drips, no leaks. Read a full review here.

Silicone Storage Bags vs. Plastic Storage Bags
The Facts About Plastic Storage Bags: Every year, the average person uses nearly one pound worth of plastic sandwich bags. Doesn’t sound like much, but that’s a total of 540 plastic bags that are only used once. In the U.S. 20 million plastic sandwich bags end up in landfills every day.
Why Choose Silicone Storage Bags: Since I found Stasher I can pack my lunches and snacks guilt free. Stasher Storage Bags are made of pure food grade silicone and are made to out live a plastic bag. A strong press seal gives these bags an airtight seal. These bags are not only easy to open and close, but they actually stay closed! Stasher Bags are freezer safe, microwave safe and dishwasher safe. Don’t limit Stasher Bags to the lunch box. These are perfect for travel, school supplies, small toys and so much more.

Glass Food Storage Containers vs. Plastic Food Storage Containers
The Facts About Plastic Food Storage Containers: Plastic containers don’t last forever. The more you heat and cool your plastic food storage the faster the chemicals break down, leaching into your food. Heating your food in plastic containers will leach chemicals 55% faster than normal. Just because your plastic container is recyclable doesn’t mean it’s food safe. I never knew the numbers on the plastic containers indicate how food safe they are, and that some plastic containers are safer than others when it comes to food.
Why Choose Glass Food Storage Containers: You don’t have to worry about chemicals touching your food when using glass containers. I use Wean Green Glass containers they are 4-5 times stronger than regular glass. Wean Green Glass containers have a silicone seal to lock in freshness and prevent leaks. They are microwave, dishwasher and freezer safe. Wean Green containers come in different sizes and shapes making them perfect for snacking on the go. Wean Green is passionate about litterless lunches. A child averages 67 pounds of disposable lunch waste per school year.

Silicone Kitchen Sponge vs. Disposable Kitchen Sponge
The Facts About Disposable Kitchen Sponges: The common disposable kitchen sponge is typically made of cellulose fiber, which is soaked in chemicals and then blended with sodium sulphate crystals and hemp fiber. When heated, the sodium sulphate crystals dissolve, leaving the holes and gaps commonly seen in sponges. Your disposable kitchen sponge can breed bacteria and it is recommended to replace your disposable sponge every 30 uses and it is not recyclable.
Why Choose a Silicone Kitchen Sponge: Kuhn Rikon’s Stay Clean Scrubber is made of food grade silicone and is BPA free. It is non-porous so it wont harbor bacteria or hold onto odors and can easily be tossed into the dishwasher to be sanitized. Kuhn Rikon’s Stay Clean Scrubber is safe to use on non-stick cookware as well as on all kitchen surfaces. It is so durable you will be able to safely use this sponge longer than a traditional sponge. The Stay Clean Scrubber also doubles as a lint brush, removing lint and hair when used dry. Read a full review here.

Cloth Diaper vs. Disposable Diapers
The Facts About Disposable Diapers:If you have a child in diapers you will go through an estimated 2,920 (8 diapers a day) per year. It takes 9 gallons of water to produce 1 disposable diaper. Worst of all it takes an estimated 250-500 years for a disposable diaper to decompose. Adding up to the 3rd largest consumer item in landfills. Disposable diapers contain toxic chemicals, drying agents, dyes and fragrances.
Why Choose to Cloth Diaper: To cloth diaper a child from birth to potty training takes about 24 diapers. Talk about significantly less waste. Bambino Mio diapers will grow with your baby thanks to their 3 rise settings and adjustable velcro style closure to get a perfect fit on the waist. Cloth diapers use super absorbent fabric to keep your baby dry instead of chemical gels used in disposables. The fabric alone allows more airflow to your baby, lowering the risk of diaper rash. Modern Cloth Diapers are fashionable. You wont find anything cuter than Bambino Mio’s prints.

Reusable Cloth Pads vs. Maxi Pads
The Facts About Maxi Pads:Maxi pads are made of bleached rayon, cotton and plastics with added fragrances and chemicals used to absorb the menstrual flow. Most contain hazardous ingredients including dioxins, pesticide residues, unknown fragrance chemicals as well as adhesive chemicals. Approximately twelve billion pads and 7 million tampons end up in a landfill each year and that’s not including the individual wrapping they each come in.
Why Choose Reusable Cloth Pads: Bummis Fabulous Flo Pads are non toxic and a eco-friendly choice compared to pads. Made in Canada with a soft breathable organic cotton fabric manufactured in the USA. The Fabulous Flo Pads are super absorbent with a waterproof backing. Washing is easy, I rinse with my diaper sprayer after use and throw in with my diaper laundry. No diaper laundry, you can rinse well and add to your regular laundry. I air dry to help keep their shape and sunning will help with any stains. After reading about the chemicals in disposable pads, cloth pads is my new preference for myself and one day for my daughter.

Tree-Free Bath Tissue vs. Toilet Paper
The Facts About Toilet Paper: Humans consume 27,000 trees daily to make toilet paper and each roll takes 37 gallons of water. Speaking of water, I still need to purchase a new toilet for my bathroom. It has been leaking slightly and there is a small crack in the side, which I no doubt think will get worse as time goes on. One of my friends said that the leak is concerning. She said that when a toilet leaks, it can sometimes indicate that there are some problems with the sewer system in the house. She suggested that I consider reading about trenchless pipe lining to replace my old pipe with a new one, without having to dig up the whole garden! Maybe we’ll look into that if the leak worsens. For now, I’ve done some research and have come across a kohler wellworth toilet review, which did help me make my decision as to what I am going to replace my old toilet with. Plus, if this new toilet that I am considering getting helps me save on water consumption, then that is even better. Anything that I can do to play my part in being eco-friendly is something worth doing. Anyway, back to the use of toilet paper. On average Americans use 57 squares of toilet paper a day, which adds up to 50 pounds annually. The United States uses more toilet paper per year than any other country in the world. These are daunting facts that leave me looking for other options.
Why Choose Tree-Free Bath Tissue: I can make the switch to cloth alternatives for many items but toilet paper is not one of them. So the best option for my family and the most eco-friendly option is Tree-Free Bath Tissue by Caboo. Tree-Free Bath Tissue is made from 100% Bamboo and Sugarcane pulp. Bamboo is the worlds fastest growing plant and can regenerate without the need of replanting making it also one of the most renewable resources on the plant. Caboo’s Tree-Free Bath Tissue is dependently strong and extremely soft, as well as, Enviormently Healthy, Biodegradable, and safe for septics. Read the full review here.

Crystal Dynamics Avengers has been in development for a long time now but opinions on what we’ve seen to date have been mixed. Thankfully, earlier today was the Avengers War Table stream to show fans a lot more of what they can expect when the game launches on September 4th.
If you couldn’t tune in don’t worry, here are the the highlights of everything you missed.
As we saw previously the protagonist is Kamala Khan (Ms. Marvel) and given what we saw today, players will be facing off against MODOK (Dr. George Tarleton) who is the founder of the organization AIM.
As Khan you’ll play through the campaign but along the way, will unlock the ability to play as other heroes on specific quests.
The focus of the stream today was Thor and highlighted things like combo abilities with other heroes, ultimates, and specific unlocks like manual targeting. The specific mission was titled “Once an Avenger”.
Tech tree build out and customization also seems to play a large part in the game. Each hero has their own tree and abilities as well as a wealth of customization options. Some of the customization unlocks will be done through standard missions, some will be done through accomplishing specific tasks, and others meanwhile will be available in the “online store” (for real money).
Another aspect of the characters is their Heroic Moves which have three variations.
- Assault is the most basic and represents more of a special move for each character.
- Support moves can be used to buff your teammates. As we saw in the video, Thor can provide nearby teammates with brief invulnerability.

Some of the best-known stories of Ancient Greece had already slipped into legend by the time Alexios and Kassandra set off on their odyssey. The Bronze-Age civilisation of the Minoans fell into decline at least 600 years before Perikles was even born, but still provided one of the period’s most enduring myths: Theseus and the Minotaur. On the trail of artifacts to open the door to Atlantis, the Misthios must find out if the stories are true and reclaim the relic. Here’s how to complete the entire A Place of Twists and Turns Quest line and defeat the Minotaur.
Myths and Minotaurs
The first quest that you come across in this line is started by looting the chest at the southern end of Knossos Palace on the eastern side of Messara.
Here, you’ll meet Ardos, a young boy determined to rescue his father from the clutches of the mythical Minotaur. Agree to fight and kill the Minotaur and find his dad, and Ardos will agree to show you the entrance to the Labyrinth – yes that Labyrinth. The one where Theseus slew the Minotaur to save Ariadne.
Follow kid downstairs and marvel at the sheer scale of the Labyrinth of Lost Souls.
Once it transpires you can’t actually get in, Ardos will send you after members of his Dad’s old crew who might know more.
These are the Swordfish in Hekalion, The Collector in Gortyn, and his old Caretaker in Phaistos.
Blood in the Water Quest Guide
To find the Swordfish, who has become a man of ill-repute in the meantime, go to the Fisherman’s Beachhead in Hekalion – which is north of Knossos Palace, on the coast – and talk to the fishermen there. You’ll know who to talk to because of the white magnifying glasses over them.
Eventually you’ll find a man who’ll tell you more. When he does, a thug will attack you both.
Now you can either complete side quests that you find around the area, continue with your investigation, or just skip forward to where you need to go.
The quests are Catch and Release, and The Arkalochori Axe. They’re both quite easy to complete and you’ll need the XP for your Odyssey.
In the axe quest you just need to go to a cave east of the town and kill a couple of people.
For Catch and Release all you have to do is sail north, kill some bandits and come back.
Completing these give you the clue to search around the waters of Fisherman’s Beacon, which is to the northwest of Herakion.
The question mark on the eastern side of the beacon is your target – the Swordfish’s hideout. It’s underwater so you need to dive down.
It’s called Hermit’s Dive, and there are loads of sharks so be careful. Be quick though, and you can nip past them into the cave even if they start to have a nibble on your sandals.
At the end of the underwater cave talk to the Swordfish, get out of the water and creep up on your target. Moving close to him will trigger a cutscene, where you can pretend to be Deimos if you want.
Eventually, after revealing himself as a cultist, he’ll attack and fights a bit like the King of Bandits from the arena. Use your extended dodge to get out of the way of his sliding attack when he glows red, and be ready to dodge when he disappears using a smoke bomb.
Once he’s dead, grab the chest in the back of the room and head to the next quest.
Recollections Quest Guide
Next on the list, you’ll find The Collector in the southeast side of Gortyn.
Be nice in your conversation with him and he’ll tell you about Theseus’ armour.
To find it, you have to travel to Daidalos Fort, a short distance southwest of Gortyn up the hill.
The secret cave is at the western end of the fort in the Daidalos Armoury.
The chestplate – which looks like a silver version of the Golden Fleece we put on our best armour page – that you need is on a plinth up the ladder in the armoury. It shouldn’t be too hard to spot, there’s only one guard in here too.
Full Circle Quest Guide
Finally, head west over to Phaistos and speak to the man at Ardos’s House. He’s not quite who he says he is, so get tough and he’ll spill.
Go south to the village of Phaistos, then on the western side of the village is Phaistos Theatre, you’ll find the old man there.
Clear out the guards, then escort the man out of the village and talk to him.
He’ll tell you about the disk you need to enter the Labyrinth and give you Theseus’ Greaves in exchange for helping him.
Seeking Answers Quest Guide
Now that you know what you need, return to Ardos at Knossos Palace.
Talk to him and get him to give you the disk key to the Labyrinth. He’ll hand it over and you’ll get another piece of Theseus’ armour.
He Waits Quest Guide
Now for the big one. Go down to the Labyrinth entrance with Ardos and place the key in the Stele and it’ll open the entrance to the Labyrinth of Lost Souls.
Dive into the hole and interact with the door, which will trigger one of the only loading screens in the whole of Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
Just like in the mythic story, follow Theseus’ thread through the Labyrinth.
Follow the string until you find Nikios – Ardos’ sadly departed father – and you’ll find a ring to give to the kid.
Then turn back around, turn left, then go straight ahead, jumping across the gap.
Follow this path around the corner. You can now either go straight ahead, or turn left. All paths on the left lead to chests with crafting items, so jump onto the wall on the straight ahead path to proceed.
Shimmy along that wall and drop down on the other side.
Straight ahead is a dead end, so take the first right and follow the path.
Once you reach a fork you can take a detour to get a chest by sliding under the large stone, otherwise follow the path around left to where you can see the light.
Jump across and you’ll be face-to-face with the Minotaur.
How to kill the Minotaur in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
The Minotaur is at his deadliest at close range, so if you’re struggling, the key is to keep your distance and use ranged attacks.
To maximise your damage, use a ranged weapon with elemental buildup like the Fanged Bow, or Fire Arrows. Once the Minotaur charges you, dodge out of the way and land a few cheeky blows to his back while he’s stunned.
If you circle the edge of the arena, despite his speed, you should have enough time to get out of the way.
Shooting him like this should give you enough adrenaline to use your Overpower Attacks ability to keep your health topped up and deal big damage.
Now you’ve taken out the real Minotaur, why not squish the rumours in Pephka during the Minotaur de Force questline. | <urn:uuid:a9e111e0-c21e-4f94-a52f-b7cab0267215> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.vg247.com/2018/12/19/assassins-creed-odyssey-minotaur/ | 2020-07-16T17:27:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657172545.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716153247-20200716183247-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.928499 | 1,622 | [

Do you remember back in the days of high school where you read the typical mainstream literature for your English courses? Titles such as To Kill a Mockingbird, The Grapes of Wrath, Frankenstein, and multiple Shakespeare tragedies come to my mind. During this time, I often read a lot of brain candy on my own, including such authors as Stephen King and Mary Higgins Clark. This was truly my extent of my personal library. Therefore, when I went off to college and signed up for English courses, both composition and literature, I expected to read the same basic literature that I read in high school. Boy, was I wrong!!
My first English course was a composition course and the most shocking read was Equus by Peter Shaffer. This play completely blew me out of the water. I was so shocked that first of all, this was considered good enough to teach, but also to teach to first-year students! For those that are not familiar with this story, I will not go into details here! To be honest, it is still a very disturbing story to me! For more information on the play synopsis as well as in recent news featuring Daniel Radcliffe (known to many as Harry Potter!), click here.
Moving on . . . in a later semester, I decided to take another English course, but this time in the literature realm. When I signed up for this course, I was expecting to read many of the same things that I read in high school. Many of my friends who had already taken the course confirmed these suspicions. However, when I went to buy my books, I was shocked! I was not buying the books I thought I would be. The titles were not your usual classics. No Tolstoy. No Shakespeare. No author that I even actually recognized! Instead, the titles ranged from The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien to Push by Sapphire to Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson. I must have signed up for the one class with an instructor that had a very non-traditional class and selection of books! I was very nervous for the course, but I stuck with it! And, I ended up loving the course! It opened up so many avenues for me in the aspect of literature and beyond. I discovered new authors, new styles, and new ways to dig into a book. In fact, I would even say that this class was life-changing because of this selection of books!
One of these books (or series of books in this case) that has affected me so much is Maus by Art Spiegelman. It was my very first exposure to graphic novels, which many believe to be long comic books. This is sooooo not the case! Graphic novels add an element to a story that is absolutely unparalleled. You can actually visualize the story how the author wants you to visualize it and the pictures oftentimes can speak more than the words. They are absolutely amazing and I encourage those of you out there who have never picked up a graphic novel to do so! They are AMAZING!
Maus I & II is truly the author's story. It is about his relationship with his father, a Holocaust survivor. You are not only getting the story about the father-son relations, but you are also getting the story of survival of the father during this tragic time. Symbolism is so strong throughout this book . . . the Germans are depicted as cats, the Jewish as mice. It is not Tom & Jerry. It is something so much more powerful than that, that I honestly cannot put the strength of this book into words. To see the pictures, to read the story . . . it all had such an effect on me. You get a different feeling about the Holocaust that other books don't give you. This is truly one of the most powerful books that I have ever read!
As I think back on these college courses, I sometimes wonder why I didn't take more literature courses. I absolutely loved being in these classes that expanded my view of the world and my library collection! I wish I would have, but I can say that I'm okay that I didn't. These two courses in particular broadened my mind enough to go out and search for quality literature (and not necessarily mainstream!) on my own. Thank you to whomever my instructor was! I am just sorry that I don't remember your name! :) | <urn:uuid:26b51073-7fc1-4863-adeb-9c2e6f7f67ad> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.tiftalksbooks.com/2007/11/maus-i-maus-ii-by-art-spiegelman.html | 2020-07-06T12:36:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655880616.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706104839-20200706134839-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.984873 | 890 | [

| This is the 490th story of Our Life Logs |
I was born in 1984 in North Carolina, but we moved around a lot—big, state-to-state moves every two to four years. I think I realized early on that I could either be really bitter about it, or I could gain a lot of really great life skills.
My home life was sort of unsettled in its own way. I’d rather not get into much detail, but I will say I recognize the impact that unstable mental health can have on a family and how devastating it can be.
Early on, I remember wanting to help people. My family grew up in a house that really valued community service. Volunteering was a pretty normal concept to me. We went to churches that constantly emphasized the importance of giving back to the community. I understood that as simply recognizing people’s humanity, giving people a chance, and making a genuine connection with someone who’s had a different life than I’ve experienced.
So, I’m super adaptable. I can uproot when needed. I can walk into any situation and figure out what I need to do and not feel uncomfortable. I can empathize with people who, like those in my family, have illness and need someone to understand their story. From my childhood, I developed a lot of independence and self-sufficiency.
As I grew older, through school, I was able to experience what some of the social needs were in Russia, Ghana, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica. Those experiences really impacted me, and they’re what made me want to understand the impact of oppression and discrimination. I learned specifically about the influence of US policy on international development and economic issues around the world. At the time, I felt like all these experiences had to be leading to something bigger.
After I graduated from undergrad in 2006, I started to become familiar with social justice issues. Of course, I was led to social work, because that’s what the job is all about: focusing on how to address inequity in a way that treats people as humans while providing the resources they need in order to develop as their individual selves. And I think I have empathy and a level of understanding that makes it very personal when working with other people, due to my upbringing. I won’t say I know what it’s like to live other people’s lives, but I know what it’s like to have to pack up often and start over again and again.
With social work, you can do so many things and create an impact in a lot of different ways. So, when I saw a new position available at Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Social Work, I thought it would be a great fit for me. I wanted to help students find their way in their careers by getting them out of their comfort zones and into the community. By working in academia, I would get to know a huge community of social workers and develop relationships with people all across the state and across all levels of experience.
While I spent many of those early days crafting learning opportunities for others (which was awesome), I did so in the confines of my office at VCU. Now that you know me a little better, it should be no surprise to you that I wanted to be out there helping my community—outside of a school setting.
And wouldn’t you know, opportunity came when I most needed it to.
I had been in conversation with Professor Becky Tyree for a little while about starting a new program. Becky taught music education at the university, but I knew her from all around—she was my partner’s colleague, my son’s voice teacher, and a personal friend of mine. After seeing similar programs develop in other cities, she talked to me about creating a choir for people in the Richmond area who were affected by homelessness—it would be a community where people could come together and sing in a safe space. I remember watching Becky’s face light up when she talked about this. Her heart was always in the right place, and the passion in her explanation made me want to immediately jump on board.
Now, something I failed to mention earlier is that music had always been a huge part of my life. Because we moved around so much, music became a way to share bonds and communicate with people I didn’t know. There wasn’t a specific group or community for me to turn to throughout my childhood and adolescence. I was in bands and choirs all throughout high school, I took flute lessons as well, and I even earned an undergraduate degree in music. So, when Becky brought this idea to me, I was totally intrigued, because it felt like all these different parts of me were able to meet and fit together in the same place. Trust me, it was a great feeling.
Becky went out around Christmastime that year and played for our host church’s lunch program, trying to recruit our first members for “The Street Singers”. For the first rehearsal—I would say—maybe nine or ten people showed up. The next week, it dipped. Empty chairs galore. After that rehearsal, Becky and I looked at each other with big eyes. “Oh no. What’s happening?” Still, there was nothing we could do but come back for another week. And thankfully, people filled the room.
The community was so receptive. Students joined the choir as a service-learning course—which was Becky’s brilliant idea, of course—and we all worked to form those incomparable relationships with each other and actively ensure everyone felt heard. And Becky was a monumental part of that. She has always been such a dynamic person, and she was able to model the environment we wanted to create.
Then, in May of 2018, only a few months after our first rehearsal, Becky died in a tragic bike accident. And with her death, it felt like the whole city was turned on its head.
• • •
Before this news, I had felt like the pieces of my life were coming together. And then…this. I was devastated. I had never dealt with a loss like this before. I mean, sure, I had lost family and friends to illnesses and old age, but never had it come so suddenly and unexpectedly. Never had I relied upon a person who was no longer with me. This was a new kind of grief.
We had just done our end of the year performance with the choir. It was summer break, so we weren’t going to meet for another few months. That meant that many of the choir members wouldn’t have any way to find out what happened. I felt a huge responsibility. I needed to take over and at the same time, grieve. So, immediately, I had to get as many of the members together as I could and tell them myself.
I wasn’t ready. I know I wasn’t. I don’t know how anybody could ever be ready to handle something like that. But the choir needed to go on. So, I got the members together, said the words, watched the reactions, and carried on with a huge lump in my throat.
I wasn’t allowed to not think about it; it was in my face everywhere. I had to continue dealing with the fact that she wasn’t there. But, you know what, I truly began my grieving process by being with the other people who lost her.
Just months after our first rehearsal, the choir suddenly had this enormous loss to deal with, and we did it as a group. I was able to get in contact with a few choir members, and they reached out to others so that they could be part of her memorial service. It was an incredibly painful absence to deal with.
And yet, we kept singing.
In the months that followed, I cleared my schedule as best as I could. I made sure that if people needed to have conversations, we could. We cried during rehearsals often, especially during songs Becky had taught us.
The poignant part of the grieving process was a song we sang called, “I Remember.” Members of the choir could put in things to say about Becky and create their own song, with specific memories about her personality. “I remember her passion and vision for change; her laughter and smiles; memories of a dove, hope, peace, and love.” We each contributed something. And that helped us recognize the relationship and the pain and perform it in public.
• • •
Finally, when it came time for Becky’s memorial service, a mass choir, which consisted of former students, coworkers, and friends, choir members—anyone with whom I could get into contact. Some of them even asked if they could make cards for Becky’s family. We performed again at the school for a concert that was held in Becky’s honor. It was possible to grieve and sing at the same time.
I sang with my choir and remembered Becky’s life. I mean, she was the reason each of us was there. She was so widely respected because she took the voices of every person she worked with and raised them up. She brought people together. And even in her absence, she was doing it again.
There was still a lot of uncertainty about the future of the choir. I didn’t know whether or not we would be able to come back to our regular rehearsals in the fall. The doubt lasted all summer, and I felt the only thing that might solve it would be to bring in another co-leader.
Becky and I had both acknowledged that there were certain needs in the choir for which we could use the help of a music therapist. Becky had been in contact with someone who was new to the area named Robin Rio, so I decided to reach out to her, and then she got in touch with the school. There was a groundswell of people who wanted this to continue, and Robin was one of them. Gratefully, she took it on.
Robin’s music therapy skills became pivotal in helping people to process. There was a lot of attention to emotional needs; if anyone needed to step away from rehearsal, I could go out and talk with them and know that the group was being taken care of. The process of singing was a way for us all to release those emotions in a safe space. Just like it had always been.
That was two years ago. Now, in 2020, we’re still going strong and I’m so grateful. Even with the heartache, there’s much to be gained. I now know how to make new friends, and let old friends go—but never their memories. Those memories stay with us and prepare us for our next song.
This is the story of Cameron Carter and the RVA Street Singers
Cameron Carter is a social worker at Virginia Commonwealth University. In 2017, she decided to found a choir in partnership with Rebecca Tyree, a prominent musical figure and choir professor at the university. Their objective was to create a space for one of Richmond’s most marginalized groups: those who are affected by homelessness. The group, aptly named “The RVA Street Singers,” is made up of community members and student volunteers, and they meet regularly to exchange unconditional love and attention through the unifying power of music. But their path has not been without strife; mere months after the choir’s first meeting, Professor Tyree got into a bike accident and passed away. Cameron was left to deliver the tragic news and help hold this newfound community together- and most importantly of all, keep it growing.

The Year of the Raven is now over, for the Year of the Dragon is upon us. The new content update for Hearthstone sends nine cards to the Hall of Fame, improves the Single-player and Arena experience, and more.
The Year of the Dragon will be sending Naturalize, Doomguard, Divine Favor, as well as the powerful Baku the Mooneater and Genn Greymane cards, to the Hall of Fame.
They will be joined by Gloom Stag, Black Cat, Glitter Moth, and Murkspark Eel, since those cards were complementary to the Even-Odd mechanic that Baku and Genn introduced.
Hearthstone developer Blizzard Entertainment will be taking a different approach to the Single-player experience for Year of the Dragon. Due to positive feedback on previous Dungeon Run–style missions, Blizzard will be using those as a framework for what’s coming this year, but with a more robust level of customization.
The first Solo Adventure for the Year of the Dragon launches about a month after the first expansion of the year, kicking off with a free chapter from the perspective of a mysterious (yet familiar) new Mage character.
Additional chapters can either be acquired for 700 gold each, or purchased in its entirety for US$19.99. Additional chapters will come with two characters, each with three Hero Powers and four starting decks to unlock that are usable against dozens of new bosses across multiple game modes. After completing each chapter, players will earn three card packs from the new expansion — with an additional card given back along with a Golden Classic pack for completing all five missions.
Blizzard has will also be updating the Arena draft pool by rotating out sets and adding new ones twice every expansion. The Arena draft pool will contain the following sets for the first rotation: Basic, Classic, Curse of Naxxramas, Whispers of the Old Gods, Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, The Witchwood, and the first expansion of this year.
Other additions for Year of the Dragon include rerolls for Legendary quests, random card back options, a smarter deck builder, and easier ways to get a Golden Hero.
Finally, players will be rewarded with one pack each from the Journey to Un’Goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, and Kobolds & Catacombs expansions by logging in between midnight on March 25 and midnight of April 2 as a farewell to the sets rotating out of Standard.
Fittingly called the ‘Mammoth Sunset,’ this farewell period will also let players get at it in a new Tavern Brawl: Brawl Block called Year of the Mammoth. This constructed Brawl will only allow cards from Journey to Un’Goro, Knights of the Frozen Throne, and Kobolds & Catacombs, and will award players with the usual Classic pack with their first win.
Stay tuned for more content from us on Hearthstone’s Year of the Dragon. | <urn:uuid:2bf55ac9-b875-4731-955c-c2849c00b4e4> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.oneesports.gg/hearthstone/hearthstone-enters-the-year-of-the-dragon/ | 2020-07-06T12:07:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655880616.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706104839-20200706134839-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.926007 | 602 | [

One day, Little Johnny's class was reviewing the alphabet. His teacher knew that he had an ''advanced'' vocabulary for his age, so she was trying to avoid calling on him.
When the teacher asked for a word beginning with “A”, Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher knew he would say “ass” so she called on Mary Lou, who said ''apple”.
This continued through most of the alphabet, because his teacher knew that there was a cuss word that Johnny would say for every letter of the alphabet.
Then she got to ''R''. She thought for a moment, but couldn't think of any cuss words that began with R, so she called on Johnny.
''R is for rats – big FUCKING rats, with twelve-inch cocks!'' | <urn:uuid:a2209545-71b7-4fe7-bfcc-13afdc7a247f> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://free-funny-jokes.com/little-johnny-and-the-abcs/ | 2020-07-14T15:13:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655897168.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714145953-20200714175953-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.993725 | 170 | [

The woman is wearing, with such style
and intention, only one earring—
she makes the half lost
exquisite. Praise her.
As we praise parks, what’s left of wilderness,
and the literature of the diaspora.
Give her the unmatched remainders
of our pairs—one stud, one star, one single hoop,
an actual diamond, antique,
much iridescence, incomplete.
Compliment her further by recalling
that the forest was finest in its first growth—
high canopies hung with the lobes
of a multiplicity of leaves,
chestnuts set in the prongs of pods,
and below, made of birch bark’s silver
and mud, a few homes
built where their inhabitants belonged.
Then, make your greatest admiration awareness
that ears already so beautiful ought to have
better: jewels in a complete set,
presented in a box that opens
to its landscape of velvet, opulent
threads not yet asked to rise back
from the crush of any touch. | <urn:uuid:abf9dd7a-ec5c-4d1f-b9a1-463f15f708cf> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://storysouth.com/stories/the-jewels-with-which-to-make-do-the-jewels-that-there-were/ | 2020-07-12T05:44:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657131734.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712051058-20200712081058-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.923909 | 228 | [

Wine’s fine, but beer’s nearer and dearer to my heart, so it took a beer event to get me to the storied James Beard House in Manhattan for the first time on Saturday. The Brewmaster’s Banquet was a pairing dinner organized by Beard House director of programming Izabela Wojcik that matched beers from Delaware’s Dogfish Head brewery with food from chef Adam Dulye of San Francisco’s beer-loving Abbot’s Cellar and Monk’s Kettle gastropubs. For those who pay attention to such things, the event represents a milestone in the beer world: no less a culinary authority as the James Beard Foundation was recognizing something many of us have known for years: Far from being an inferior, uninspiring drink for the lunch pail set to pair with potato chips, football, and a duct-taped La-Z-Boy, today’s craft brews are brilliant complements to some of the most inventive cuisine in the country, with a range of styles broad enough to balance everything from smoked oysters to grilled bison.
The James Beard Foundation knew what it was doing when it selected Dogfish Head as the beer maker for the evening. I’ve long considered it one of the most inventive breweries in America, as does my fancy-beer-loving wife, Jenn, so we were particularly pleased to chat with owner Sam Calagione (pictured) as he filled glasses with Midas Touch, Raison D’Etre, and Shelter Pale Ale during cocktail hour. In a country now filled with great craft breweries, Dogfish Head still manages to stand out by focusing entirely on weird beers.
Think about it: almost every other small brewery makes at least one "normal" beer (a Budweiser-style lager) in addition to their more outlandish offerings. Not Dogfish Head. As Calagione explained, the closest thing would be their 60 Minute IPA, which is indeed a laid-back sipper, but still complex enough to make you realize that there’s a symphony going on in the glass. It’s a thinker. As he has probably explained a thousand times before, Calagione said he’s not interested in making a standard lager, because there are plenty of good ones in the market already. Covering new territory in beer is more interesting to him, although sometimes that means going way back in history.
Take Dogfish Head Ta Henket, for example, which I wrote about a few months ago. Not only did Calagione and crew study ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to come up with a recipe for the type of beer the pyramid builders would have guzzled 4,500 years ago, they even set out baited petri dishes in a Cairo date farm to capture the native yeast strain that would have been used at the time. That’s not just twee intellectualism for the purposes of marketing, that’s true beer enthusiasm. (For the record, the brew was light and refreshing and made me want to be a pharaoh.)
And so Sam Caligione brought his weird beers from Delaware to Greenwich Village to pair with five courses of equally inventive foods. We were seated at table 11, which was located in what was once James Beard’s elevated bedroom nook (complete with mirrored ceiling), and it gave us a great view of the action on the main floor. As soon as the first course arrived–Liberty Farms duck terrine, rye crusted duck confit croquette, poached apple, and tarragon, paired with Beard de Garde farmhouse ale–the room came alive, with people taking photos of their plates, clinking glasses, and chatting loudly. It’s hard to imagine the same scene at a wine pairing, not that quiet contemplation isn’t an essential element of a thoughtful life.
The food was delicious (big props to Chef Dulye) and the beers elevated it to poetry, or perhaps really gutsy rock ‘n’ roll. The duck was just the beginning. Course #2 was seared scallop, arugula and ricotta agnolotti, piquillo pepper, and kumquat paired with Namaste, a Belgian-style wheat beer made with dried orange slices, lemongrass, and coriander. I love scallops, and the bite of the beer danced with the sweetness of the shellfish. The third course was spinach-wrapped monkfish, dungeness crab, and bone marrow risotto, which was definitely a fancy plate of grub, and it was paired with an equally fancy glass of beer, the Noble Rot, which is made with botrytis-infected Viognier grapes (that’s a good thing). I could use flowery language, but at its essence they just tasted darn good together. The beer/wine blend worked well with the varied flavors of the dish, at once mellowing the monkfish while sharpening the risotto. Give me more.
Next came the meat, which is as good a test as any for beer as an accompaniment to food. After all, steak and red wine is a match made in heaven, with the tannins of the wine breaking down the fats of the meat. Could beer fare as well? It certainly did with the dry-aged bison strip loin, which came with salsify, gigante beans, and artichoke barigoule (I don’t know what those things are but they tasted good.) It came with Bitches Brew, a blend of stout and mead, which was strong and fizzy enough to stand up to the meat while having plenty of flavors of its own.
All too soon, dessert was on the table, a hazelnut cocoa nib mille feuille with ricotta mousse and salted caramel ice cream. It came with perhaps the most unusual and certainly the strongest beer of the night, the World Wide Stout, a dark, rich beer with an alcohol content of nearly 20% (your standard pub pint clocks in at around 5%). The experience was like drinking a port or a cognac, and it gave us just the right glow to stay warm on the trip back to Brooklyn.
And so the evening of fine beers paired with fine foods ended having proven its point beyond any doubt: chosen wisely, you can find a craft brew to go with just about any cuisine. But there was a secondary point that’s no less important. Just as James Beard helped define and raise the profile of American cuisine around the world, Calagione and craft brewers like him have taken American beer from a punchline (sex in a canoe, etc.) to what I’m confident in saying is now the best beer on the planet. Sure, Germany has its pilsners, Belgium has its Trappists, and England has its ales, but America has every one of them, in dozens of different varieties, made by brewers who care deeply about what they do and aren’t hidebound by centuries of tradition. If you don’t like one, try another. And another. That’s what we do, and it’s nice to see that chefs from South Beach to Seattle are trying them too. What a country. | <urn:uuid:c38010f7-0326-4019-9850-f52d20a950b8> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://bbook.com/tag/dogfish-head/ | 2020-07-12T07:00:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657131734.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712051058-20200712081058-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.969082 | 1,525 | [

VFEL was founded with the purpose of linking all education levels – preschool, elementary, middle, high school, and higher education – to create a comprehensive seamless system of leadership learning. VFEL earnestly pursues its purpose and strategic goals, ranging from knowledge development to policy research to constituency service. The Foundation services are specifically designed to build human capital in strengthening educational leadership. VFEL embraces its vital role as advocate and voice regarding leadership learning and advanced education for practicing and future school leaders.
Throughout American history, citizens have turned to nonprofit organizations to provide a strong, collective voice to inform and influence public policy. Through the Foundation’s advocacy efforts, VFEL faculty members research, synthesize, and disseminate knowledge, promote specific reforms, engage various media, write white papers, and collaborate with other organizations – both nonprofit and corporations – in activities that promote the mission, vision, and values of VFEL.
Political advocacy can be viewed in a strict sense as a focus on governmental decision makers – grassroots lobbying that requires others to contact legislators to support or oppose specific legislation, attempts to influence public opinion, and educational efforts designed to encourage community and political participation. Social advocacy, on the other hand, attempts to influence public opinion, to encourage civic and political participation, and to influence the policies of private institutions such as corporations, private schools, universities, and other nonprofit organizations.
VFEL is aware of the legal regulations on formal lobbying imposed by the Internal Revenue Service for charitable organizations. When nonprofit organizations advocate for specific legislation (i.e. lobby), it may trigger specific rules and limits. Consequently, the Foundation articulates a position on matters important to its mission and mobilizes support for it. Shaping public policy debates on the vital topic of educational leadership has become critical, especially in this era of limited school district budgets, lack of emphasis on continuing professional development, and the limited instruction teachers receive to become school leaders and principals. The Foundation, as a service and advocacy organization, ascribes its methods to the social construction theory whereby a mission, vision, and values are developed to address the needs for effective educational leadership and a compelling method of articulation is delivered for bringing about change. | <urn:uuid:b2901359-9a82-4080-86a6-14410414f184> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.edleader.org/role-of-vfel | 2020-07-12T07:25:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657131734.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712051058-20200712081058-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.954754 | 451 | [

Tonganoxie soccer wins overtime thriller, stays unbeaten
Whether by rout or rally, the Tonganoxie High boys soccer team has found various ways to win.
On Friday, the Chieftains had arguably their most exciting match of the season.
Playing against Maranatha in Shawnee, Tonganoxie played catch up much of the night.
Although THS led, 1-0, in the first half, the Chieftains trailed, 3-1, at one point in the second half. But once again, Tonganoxie battled back.
With the score, 3-2, Jans Ahren scored with just 30 seconds left in regulation.
That forced overtime. Late in the extra period, Zeb Huseman’s pass across the field found Isaiah Frese on the right side. Frese then laid it in for the 4-3 victory.
It was a late night in Shawnee, as the Maranatha football team hosted Horton earlier in the night.
The soccer match started at 8:30 p.m.
On Tuesday, Tonganoxie outlasted Louisburg, 2-1, on the road. The victory moved THS to 10-0-1 on the year.
The team is back home Thursday at Chieftain Park to take on Junction City.
Friday’s victory came about 27 hours after the Chieftains’ first victory of the season at Chieftain Park.
After playing earlier games at the THS Soccer Complex, matches were moved to the park starting with Thursday’s match against St. Mary’s Academy.
Tonganoxie defeated SMA, 3-0, after getting two goals from Chandler Caldwell and a third from Jens Ahlen.
THS got the shutout victory, but coach Jon Orndorff said the team could have done better.
“We didn’t play our best,” Orndorff said. “The first half we looked good. The second half we got relaxed. We will continue to improve and be fine.
“It was a good wake-up call, but they know it. We’ll be fine. But we got the W, right?”
The Chieftains had six games left in the regular season heading into Tuesday’s match. | <urn:uuid:7b6f6ac6-47fa-41a3-8cd1-cef7c91156d6> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.tonganoxiemirror.com/news/2017/sep/27/tonganoxie-soccer-wins-overtime-thriller-stays-unb/ | 2020-07-14T03:16:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657147917.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714020904-20200714050904-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.958316 | 493 | [

I am, despite this public way of telling you about it, a rather private person. I don’t mean that in the sense that I am unwilling to share vulnerable or personal feelings and experiences –obviously, I’m willing to share to the point of emotional exhibitionism. When I say I’m private, I mean that I am deliberate about what I share, how much, in what way, and with whom. Read my journals and one of us is going to have to permanently move to Iceland. Go through my purse or my closets or my nightstand without my permission and you’re dead to me. I decide.
The problem is the waiting room.
Before you can enter some of the oldest and largest vaults at Gringotts Bank (the wizarding bank in Harry Potter for those of you who don’t read), you have to pass through a waterfall that clears away any enchantments you may be trying to use to enter the vault under false pretenses. If you have tried to conceal or change your identity, if someone or something else is controlling your behavior, if you have tried to protect yourself in any way from exposure or vulnerability to what could be inside, then it is all washed away. You are just you.
The same thing happens to anyone who enters the Children’s West Rehab Center waiting room, only it’s the air swirling around the door as you walk in that breaks all the spells, not a waterfall (which would be impractical and inconsiderate in such a cold climate). You walk in with all of your protective enchantments and it all gets blown away. Everyone sees who you are. Everyone sees what you’re dealing with.
If you are a regular, you are dealing with scooters or wheelchairs or companion dogs or leg braces that make your little peanut cry because they hurt. Or you are dealing with tiny little helmets, tiny little glasses, tiny little hearing aids. Your son cries about everything, your daughter can’t properly metabolize food. Your granddaughter has cerebral palsy, your grandson has a heart condition.
Now YOU have a heart condition.
What do you do? There was a woman once who spent the whole hour she was waiting doing yoga poses and stretches. I rolled my eyes until her son came out after his physical therapy session and I overheard her talking with the therapist about how she could help her son be more successful with eating and drinking. He was at least fifteen years old. There was a homeschooling mama with a church bell ringtone who used the time to drill her older daughter in reading; a tense, germaphobic lady who only allowed her impeccably-dressed children to touch toys she brought with her and sanitized before and after they were handled; a maniacally positive mother who practiced tap dancing and jazz routines with her five-or-six-year-old daughter, who played along but didn’t seem convinced of how much fun she was supposed to be having.
You walk in with all of your protective enchantments and it all gets blown away. Everyone sees who you are. Everyone sees what you’re dealing with.
But most of us talk. We tell each other what happened to our children, what happened to us, what keeps happening. We tell each other about the doctors who practically bound across the waiting room at Mayo to tell us surgery went well, or about that nurse at Children’s Hospital downtown who would not rest until she found a way to bathe a child without getting the electrodes in her hair wet (an elaborate system of plastic Target bags and rubber bands). We tell each other about the schools and programs we’ve found to make it all easier (horse therapy, art therapy, water therapy, music therapy) and the schools and programs that haven’t figured it out yet. For several months, my dear childhood friend Lindsay, whose son gets therapy from time to time, met me in the waiting room with coffee and we got to have a built-in Mama date every Wednesday afternoon.
Of course it’s not just mothers waiting –Thad has been one of my favorite waiting room pals. For at least a year, Caroline’s appointments coincided with his granddaughter’s, so every week, Thad and I talked cooking (he was an old-school gourmand –he made his own sausages and everything), gardening, music, antiques, parenting, traveling, families, weddings, home design, life. Thad is marvelous –I miss him. His daughter-in-law doesn’t drive and he’s retired, so he brought them to the rehab center every single week. Maybe we’ll be on the same schedule again this summer.
I wouldn’t say I’m friends with these people in the conventional sense (with the exception of Lindsay) –it’s more like we all operate the various small businesses of the same unethical, sadistic bastard. We all cry about it, we’re all degraded by it, but there’s no choice –we can’t leave; he has too much power and we’ve invested everything.
There is no point trying to control what I reveal to my waiting room colleagues –they see everything anyway, just like I see everything about them. We see each other crying and limping and dragging along with our special needs kids as if we have been stricken with the emotional equivalent of each of their physical or neurological afflictions. We have, so privacy is beside the point –it doesn’t protect us from anything except our mutual sympathy and understanding.
Maybe that’s why the protective enchantments we rely upon so heavily out in the world don’t work in the waiting room. Maybe our vulnerability is the most powerful enchantment no matter where we are. | <urn:uuid:3a88b7c4-f93c-4f6d-a13d-d1d05fd62329> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://gypsyhausfrau.com/2012/04/10/waiting-room/ | 2020-07-14T02:41:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657147917.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714020904-20200714050904-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.962161 | 1,211 | [

Universal Services Questions and Answers
Q. What is Universal Services?
A. It is a service available to all students to access at any time during their studies where referral is not required. Students will be educated via a number of communication avenues to maximise the overall benefit to students where singular avenues may limit engagement.
Our approaches include:
- Social Media Campaigns
- Topic Specific Web Link
- Educational Presentations
- Canvas Modules and Assessments
- Educational Videos
- Wellbeing and Awareness Weeks
- Visiting Speakers
Topics covered through this service are designed to underpin Personal, Social, Health and Economic education that will benefit our students whilst studying at ACM but also thereafter. It is a service designed to align with the Academy of Contemporary Music’s Vision, Mission & Values.
Universal Services is a structure that seeks to promote widening participation, understanding of personal and emotional wellbeing and to equip students of ACM with the necessary life skills that will support them in the future. This is achieved within the current structures and frameworks of ACM and it is made up of four sections;
Education, Events, Resources & External Support
Education & Resources
We deliver the ACM Pastoral Educational Program throughout the academic year. This program is focused on equipping students with a knowledge base that will benefit them throughout life through the development of personal, social, health and economic education. As part of the program we provide resources on specific topics via various media formats to maximise student engagement and we develop self help guides that students can access throughout their academic journey.
Events & External Support
We encourage student participation by signposting internal and external events, providing space for a visible presence of local and national charities / organisations and hosting campus wellbeing awareness days / weeks. This enables the students to benefit from a range of support throughout their studies which will aim to support their journey of self discovery, feelings of belonging and enriching their student experience whilst studying at ACM.
Q. What are Awareness Weeks?
A. Student Services run regular Health and Wellbeing Weeks on each campus. These involve activities, guests and information that focus on promoting positive wellbeing across our campuses. Look out for the latest information and guest line-ups which will be advertised around campus.
ACM Awareness Weeks:
National Sexual Health Week (September)
This week aims to bring awareness to sexual health. Throughout the week ACM will signpost local Sexual Health Clinics and welcome in professionals from these clinics to have a presence on campus.
Postural Awareness Week (October)
This week focused attention on posture awareness, presenting information to students on how best to look after themselves and encouraging them to maintain better posture so not cause injury in later life, something that could negatively impact their future career opportunities.
National Chocolate Week (November)
This event is a socialising opportunity to encourage students to meet like minded creatives and develop new relationships after a month of being a part of the ACM community.
Each campus is bought a chocolate fountain, marshmallows and fruit to host at the hub, reception or student areas within their campuses.
ACM Seasonal Vulnerabilities (December)
This week raised awareness of difficulties some people may face when approaching the festive period. We offer numerous resources with information relating to relationship struggles, substance misuse, poverty, homelessness and loneliness.
ACM New Year New You (January)
This week promotes ideas for a healthy lifestyle, leaving behind unhealthy lifestyle choices of the previous year and planning healthy ones for the year ahead.
ACM Valentines (February)
This week aims to build awareness of what a healthy relationship looks like. It will put focus on signs of abuse and how to find support.
Equality & Diversity Awareness Week (March / April)
Equality and diversity is an important topic that affects the whole of society. No-one should be discriminated against due to their social standing, faith / belief, sexual orientation, gender or race.
Laws and government acts protect us from prejudicial judgment, we all have the same rights which are only slightly affected should we ever be linked to illegal activity. We have every right to challenge someones decision should it not sit well with us.
We all have a duty to make sure everyone in society is treated with respect and given the same opportunities that we have been given regardless of where they come from, if their views are different from us or if we agree with their way of life.
This week brings awareness to the need for Equality and Diversity across society and the Music Industry.
National Mental Health Week (May)
This week aims to promote Mental Health Awareness by encouraging students and staff to be open with each other, be it with friends, family or colleagues, about their mental health. We seek to encourage this for the positive benefits it will bring.
National Volunteers Week(June)
This week seeks to encourage students to engage in volunteering of local and national charities or organisations. This is to support students in gaining work experience that will strengthen their CV’s for the future.
Q. What is the Pastoral Development Education?
A. The key focus of this program is to provide our students with support throughout their educational journey for the following key areas:
- Government Contest Strategy - Prevent Education & Promoting British Values
- Substance Misuse Education
- Sex and Relationship Education
- Healthy Lifestyles and Choices
- Equality and Diversity Initiative
- Economic Wellbeing and Financial Capability
- Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health
- Careers Advice
The above topics are delivered through a variety of platforms:
- Pastoral Education Timetabled Presentations / Workshops by internal and external speakers
- Events, Awareness & Wellbeing Days / Weeks
- Topic specific Canvas Modules
- Resources - QR Codes, Web Links, Videos & Posters
- Visible presence of local charities and organisations on campus
Students of Further Education have the topics presented during timetabled lessons, this is as a result of Personal, Social, Health and Economic education (PSHE) becoming 'an important and necessary part of all students' education throughout the country, PSHE education is compulsory in independent educational establishments from 2020.
Students of Higher Education are given the opportunity to attend workshops of the same presentations so as not to interfere with their timetabled lessons.
The Pastoral Development Education forms one part of a structure associated with Universal Services.

Better late than never! I have been meaning to share a quick blog update on the sight-size charcoal studies I completed ahead of the LARA portrait workshop that I attended last year.
Below you can see a selection of three different studies that I completed all from life in the studio. Each of these studies could be used as a transfer drawing in preparation for a full colour oil painting.
After an initial unsuccessful attempt at drawing Carl I managed to create this one which was a much closer likeness.
Drawing from Life
I went on to complete the two studies shown below, again in charcoal on paper.
All three studies were completed from life in single 2-3 hour sittings in the studio. As briefly explained in my last blog post…
Sight-size is a method of painting (or drawing) whereby the artist makes most observations of the sitter from a distance, allowing both the model and painting to be observed side-by-side.
I’ll share some examples of oil colour studies soon that help show my progression with the sight-size technique. | <urn:uuid:2465d60b-4645-4fbe-a9fb-4d65b4006143> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.garyarmer.co.uk/sight-size-charcoal-studies/ | 2020-07-16T02:50:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657181335.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716021527-20200716051527-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.962514 | 221 | [

Recommended Usage Cod Oil: 1/2 to 1 tsp. Rosita Cod Liver oil daily with food for a lifetime. More can be taken when ill or injured. Refrigerate when received and consume open bottles within 3 months. Unopened bottles last a year in the fridge or 2 years frozen. Extra D3 may be advised. A, D and K2 work together, so Cod Oil is best taken with Vitamin K2 in our Emu Oil – see below.
- DHA 700 mg/tsp. This beneficial ratio of DHA to EPA is reversed from regular “fish oil” or from pollock oil commonly sold as Cod Liver Oil
- EPA 510 mg/tsp
- 100% Raw and cold extracted unlike all other cod oil
- Naturally occurring Vitamin D3 400-500 iu/tsp
Recommended Usage Emu Oil LIQUID 4 oz. – SHAKE BEFORE EACH USE
Adults: 1 tsp. daily in divided doses with food equals 4 Emu capsules a day. Can be used long-term to replete and sustain Vitamin K2 and Omega fats.

A Short History by Chris Bueker
It all started in November of 1989… My friends John and Anne Arrington and I went to the fall Black Mountain Music Festival (the predecessor to LEAF) at Camp Rockmont. We walked into the dining hall and discovered the magic of contra dancing. The room was packed with sweaty, smiling people, all moving in some mysterious and complex dance, to some great acoustic music. We had no idea what they were doing, or how in the world they knew how to do it, but it sure looked like fun. It was amazing – there would be mass confusion one second, then all of a sudden there was order. I think they were doing a hey. We were rather intimidated by the scene, and did not attempt to get out on the floor to join in, but we all agreed – it looked like something we wanted to learn how to do.
We got back to Greenville, and started asking around. John tracked down Craig Dubose, a Greenville musician who was in the contra dance community (already established, but unknown to us). Craig said he would be glad to teach us to dance. John and I called all of our friends and invited them to join us. We had about 40 people show up at the Bobby Pearce Shelter on Townes St. on a Sunday evening in November. Craig was very patient with us, most of whom had never even heard of contra dancing. We started from scratch, and stumbled through 2 dances that evening. We had a great time, passed the hat for Craig, and agreed we should do it again in December. We had another dance there, and again everyone enjoyed it. Craig told us that there was a real contra dance scheduled for January, at the Sears Shelter in Greenville, sponsored by the Greenville County Recreation Department, so we decided to go and check that out.
We showed up at the Sears Shelter, and were pleasantly surprised to find some people who knew how to dance. I think that Craig’s band was playing. Live music was a treat – we had been dancing to tapes at the previous dances. Once again, we had a great time. We learned that the County had been sponsoring occasional dances, but did not want to continue with it. We talked to them and offered to take over the organization of the dance. They gave us their mailing list, and Harvest Moon Folk Society was officially born.
We held dances at a variety of venues. We had a couple of dances at the Sears Shelter, then moved on to the Cleveland Park Gym. We danced there for a while, until they decided to tear it down. We danced at the YWCA, Slater Hall (in Slater-Marietta), and at a church here in Greenville.
After dancing a while, we decided to get serious and buy a sound system. Weogo Reed and I went looking, and with the considerable help of John Duggan, we bought what we thought was a pretty good system. We have upgraded slightly since then! Weogo became our official sound engineer, and was later joined by Mike Compton.
At some point (Spring of 1993?), by attending a wedding there, we discovered the Barn at Table Rock State Park. We immediately made plans for a weekend festival, which we decided to call Moondance (thanks, Anne Arrington for that idea), and even held some regular dances there.
We had gotten to know Leon Chapman while we were dancing at Slater Hall. Leon ran a package store in Marietta, and was using a place called River Falls Lodge, which was built (as a dance hall!) in the 1940’s, as a storage place for his extensive collection of “stuff”. We were dancing at Table Rock, I think, when Leon suggested we might look at River Falls as a possible dance hall. A bunch of us (me, John Arrington, Leon, Weogo Reed, Bruce McCandless, —anybody remember who else???? John Duggan? Roger Burns? ) met there, and looked the place over. It was quite a mess! The roof was leaking, the floor was falling thru in spots, part of the structure was actually falling down. And it was full of stuff. Leon is a rather avid collector! We could see the possibilities, though. We all felt that with some serious work, we might have a wonderful dance hall there. We rolled up our sleeves and got to work.
We patched the roof, tore down the section over the “patio”, replaced a good bit of floor, hauled away tons of stuff, cleaned up tons of dirt, fixed the plumbing, installed a working electrical system, and worked on the grounds. We learned, after dancing there for a while, that the floor was significantly out of level, so we organized a work party to address that. Weogo came up with a cool homemade jacking system and we jacked the whole building up to as close to level as we could manage.
We have continued to put time and money into the building and are proud to host contra dances at River Falls Lodge. Many dancers consider it to be one of the best contra dance halls around. | <urn:uuid:6870c61f-4221-4b8e-8ece-a54e92fe35b0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://harvestmoonfolk.org/hmfs-history | 2020-07-14T13:40:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655880665.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714114524-20200714144524-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.988225 | 1,058 | [

They paraded into the church for the wedding rehearsal like a Kardashian posse—all twenty of them, eight groomsmen, nine bridesmaids, and three toddlers. When I welcomed them, one smiled faintly, two others kept texting important messages, and the young lady with the wrist-to-shoulder tattoos sat down in a pew, made herself at home, and started touching up the polish on her nails. The rest simply ignored me. It was clear none had been inside a church since confirmation and hadn’t the slightest clue how to behave in a place of worship. We could just as well have been knocking back some tequila in Eddie’s Pool Hall and chatting about the Bruins.
I suppose this shouldn’t surprise me. After all, I was warned about it many years ago, by an old and seasoned pastor who told me that he would much rather preside at a funeral—even the most tragic funeral—than at a wedding, any day of the week. At the time, I didn’t understand. But now I know exactly what he means.
I learned the lesson over the years, not all at once but gradually, on an installment plan. I learned when a couple asked me, in all seriousness, if their American Alsatian named Clyde (housebroken, they told me, and an all-around good pup) could carry their rings—on his collar!—down the aisle in the procession. I learned when I read the wedding program that listed every saloon and tavern between the church and the reception hall, inviting guests to bar-hop their way to the party. I learned whenever I stood next to a flower arrangement more expensive than my car, or watched a photographer belly-crawl on the ground like a photojournalist in combat, or found a discarded diaper on the choir loft steps. Finally, the mother of one bride changed the music for the ceremony a week before the wedding and printed it into the programs without bothering to tell the music director or musicians—and I officially took up the mantle of the cranky old pastor who hates weddings.
I know that a religious ceremony remains meaningful to a lot of couples. But it seems to me that more and more of them see a church as just another venue: a place that will look pretty in the pictures. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for welcoming an engaged couple and working with them. It’s just that, lately, I feel more “used” than “worked with.”
What is to be done? Should we get out of the wedding business entirely? That would be tricky; and besides, who wants to cut off Catholic women from yet another sacrament? I’m thinking about another way, something proposed to me by a charming couple I met a few weeks ago—a couple I liked instantly and truly want to marry. They mentioned married peers of theirs who warned them that they would not remember much about their wedding because of all the excitement and hoopla. This rather shy couple was worried that the part of the day they valued most—the wedding vows and nuptial blessing—would be lost. They suggested a simple and elegant solution. They wanted to be married in the church on a Tuesday evening, at a wedding Mass attended only by their parents and siblings, with a small dinner to follow. Then, on the following Saturday, they would renew those vows at a wedding hall, in full regalia and with a cast of thousands. Already married, they supposed they would be less nervous, and because it was a “renewal” of vows, their godparents might be able to lead the prayers right there at the place of the reception. In any event, the memory of “the wedding that counts” (to use their words) would be clearer and dearer to them.
I think they’re on to something. Giving the wedding its own day might make it seem less like a preliminary to the reception. And it certainly makes this priest feel less cranky and a lot more sacramental. | <urn:uuid:3fa22765-88d1-47b1-ae3e-67342605bf53> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/wedding-crashers?tid=38 | 2020-07-05T01:37:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886802.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704232817-20200705022817-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.978655 | 842 | [

Starting from St. John's (Newfoundland) to Florida, I need an accessible plan, fully, for wheelchair, with equipped bathrooms along the way. Places to eat and info on wheelchair access in hotels. Our budget is not high. My son can't use public transportation anymore due to his health...they are cesspools of dirt and germs so flying is out. Will need our van. It will likely be his last trip and we'll have to stop frequently to give his body and bottom a break. Don't even know if I could pull it off. Length? Not that far with it yet. Expensive to get off the island here. Perhaps the Carolinas instead....suggestions gladly taken! Thanks!
Here is a website for the North Carolina that might help. Also you may want to check each state's website you are planning to drive through/stop in to see if they have similar information. Also, go to the U.S. Department of State - Bureau of Consular Affairs website and review Traveling with Disabilities. It will also provide you with additional information about traveling in the US with people who have disabilities.
I can't answer this question for the Canada portion of the trip from St. John's (Newfoundland)
For the US portion. I use a mobility scooter but I can walk some. I usually make reservations at a Hampton Inn and specify the accessible room with a roll in shower. Most of the Hampton Inns will have such rooms and they will also have a free breakfast. (Although you may have to bring him his breakfast because it will be a buffet which is difficult in a wheelchair)
I would advise that each leg of the trip be no more than 200 miles. That would be two hours in the morning, and a stop for lunch and then another two hours to the hotel. From St John's to Miami would take 54 hours so it would be about two weeks each way. If you just went as far as Duck it would be about 10 days. Not that much less. And that is using the interstates which are not always very scenic. A shorter trip would be to go to Provincetown which you could do in about a week. This is a website that lists wheelchair accessible trails in various states https://www.traillink.com/cityactivity/dennis-ma-wheelchair-accessible-trails/
If you take the more scenic routes, (such as instead of taking I-95 through Philadelphia, going down the coast of NJ through Toms River and Cape May and then taking the car ferry over to Lewes and then following down the eastern shore of Maryland and Virginia and taking the Bridge tunnel to Norfolk You could also take an inland route going across Canada and down through the Finger Lakes area of NY.
The route you take depends on what kinds of things you would think he would like to see. Does he like looking at the water (beaches are difficult for wheelchairs), or would he like to see mountains? Cities like Boston, or small places? National parks for nature, or museums. The national parks in the US have pages where you can check on the accessibility- this is the one for Acadia National Park https://www.nps.gov/acad/planyourvisit/upload/AccessibilityGuide.pdf

Our patio doors come in a wide variety of styles and options, one of which happens to be patio doors that come with the option of pet door installation. The biggest plus side to sliding glass doors is that they offer the ability to completely maximize the space in any room they occupy. Sliding glass doors carry zero risk of being obstructed by any objects on either side of the door such as furniture, lamps, people, pets, or appliances.
Furthermore, sliding glass doors add an incredible aesthetic value to any room they occupy, as the floor-to-ceiling size of the window panes themselves offers incredibly un-obstructed views to the outdoors in addition to allowing a fantastic amount of natural light and fresh air into a room. With the added touch of a pet door, you can give your furry friend the freedom to come and go as they please without having to compromise on your view of the beautiful outdoors or the amount of natural light coming into the home.

1) Ohio has new Computer Science Standards. They are still in draft form but I thought I should read them and compare them to CSTA and the current Ohio Technology standards.
I felt so unproductive because nothing formal was completed. I looked over standards to see what were included expectations for grades 6 - 12.
2) My SMART goal(s) are generally written the first quarter of school. Maybe anticipating that the goals need to be written that is something I should consider writing and make goals BEFORE school starts.
3) My SLO tests are created by myself as I'm not a state-tested subject. I have used the same test for the last 5 years and students come in with scores of 10 - 15% and leave with scores 70%+ and this is really good because I only see my middle school students in 9-week rotations. BUT as well as they have been growing on these tests I thought it was time to create a list of things students should know by the end of 8th grade so I could test toward those things. Not only do I want to test these skill I think these skills will be used across curriculum. I'd love to get more in-depth with actual computer science but I make sure a lot of CS gets in while supporting use of applications that will be used in core high school curriculum. Keeping in mind that my students rotate in 9-week sections it's not feasible to do a lot of the curriculum out there for CS that is designed for an entire year.
See my list below of competencies/specific learning objectives (not standards) to see if you agree because that is pretty much all I completed that I can show on day 28. LOL

We all want to ensure that our future generations breathe in a good environment. The ‘Go-green’ Campaigns have been making rounds in every sector whether the commercial or residential. Why the moving department should be left behind. You can make an environment-friendly move with the help of a professional moving company.
The given tips will assist you in making a ‘Greener move’.
- The choice of the packing boxes is very important. It is recommended to use reusable plastic bins made from the plastic resins. You can store and reuse them at the time of your next move. You can also use second-hand cardboard boxes.
- People pay attention to the quotes and estimates while hiring a professional moving company but they tend to ignore the environment compatible services a company is offering. You can enquire about their commitment towards the environment; whether they are actively involved in recycling, what kind of fuel are they using, do they supply reusable and recyclable materials or used boxes.
- You can recycle the out-of-use and old electronic items instead of throwing them out. Many cities have E-wasters where you can get items recycled
- Old items should be donated. Cycles, tricycles, books, toys, furniture can be donated to needy ones instead of dumping them and piling up the garbage.
Remember it is your responsibility to protect the environment so the future generation does pay for our carelessness. | <urn:uuid:a4b846c8-3c28-433d-ad7c-387fb71c2b97> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.redlinemovers.com/ways-to-make-environment-friendly-move/ | 2020-07-10T19:05:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655911896.73/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710175432-20200710205432-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.929972 | 294 | [

Interview With Early To Bed
IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU’D BE RUSHING WITH MILD EUPHORIA BY NOW
We love EardrumsPop and everything they stand for more than Lego, lust and life itself and we’re proudly carrying on our collaboration with their monthly singles club. If you’re not au fait with the drill, here’s how we roll. Once a month – or sometimes twice if you’re lucky – EardrumsPop hand-selects some bands and artists, usually with a geographic disparity and/or a penchant for the warm, melodic and fuzzy type of pop that makes your toes curl, and then they release a free single through their eyegasmic website. This single is more like a double though, because it contains several original tracks, a cover which the band felt needed some love and attention, and some awesome accompanying artwork designed by the band’s favourite illustrator. Oh, and of course we then wrap a digital bow round the whole thing with a photo-intraview.
As you may recall, we’ve already indulged in their laid-back ether-folk of Tiny Fireflies, Baffin Island, Alison Eales, Oláfachada and Far Concern, and now Early To Bed have arrived to massage the last knots of stress out of your soul.
Like so many of EardrumsPop’s projects which seem to make a mockery of geographic disparity, Early To Bed is another trans-Atlantic collaboration, this time between Meagan (Wisdom Tooth) and Henry (Me And The Horse I Rode In On). Meagan lives in the USA and Henry lives in Denmark. They have never actually met (hence why they have chosen this image to represent their union) but are frequent collaborators. In Megan’s words – “I know how to write songs but I can’t lay down a solid instrumental track for the life of me, which is where Henry comes in. He listens to the songs I send him, feels them out, and then translates them into something more polished and eloquent; something that articulates better what the original versions are clumsily trying to communicate.” The result is a euphoric yet restrained beauty that floats along just above the surf at sunset as the stars twinkle inquisitively through the day’s afterglow.
You can download Weathervane here for nowt to dramatically improve your chances of experiencing the warming tingles of mild euphoria before dinner. If that works for you (it will) then you should treat yourself to the whole package from EardrumsPop here. You’re definitely worth it. | <urn:uuid:9dca70a2-b018-4615-a795-2b5b5fed49e0> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://anegativenarrative.com/interviews/early-to-bed/ | 2020-07-14T05:54:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657149205.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714051924-20200714081924-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.923431 | 561 | [

Most people don’t just suddenly drop dead. Instead, their death comes at the end of a long and steady decline. In the absence of dementia or other loss of mental faculties, the dying are usually acutely aware of death’s approach and either struggle with or make peace with it, as Elisabeth Kübler-Ross so eloquently described in her seminal book On Death and Dying.
Coming to terms with death extends beyond conscious thought. It permeates the unconscious, manifesting as nighttime dreams and daytime visions that can be so vivid and realistic to the person experiencing them that others can mistake them for delirium or hallucinations triggered by medications.
Researchers at the Center for Hospice and Palliative Care in Cheektowaga, New York, conducted daily interviews with 66 of their patients over the weeks leading up to their deaths, asking specifically about the presence of dreams and visions and their content. The researchers found that almost all the patients experienced dreams and visions involving interactions with both deceased and living friends and relatives. Virtually all the dreams were described as feeling intensely real. The majority were experienced as being comforting and reassuring, especially those in which they interacted with friends or relatives who were no longer alive.
Some described meeting childhood friends, or playing with a beloved childhood dog, while others visited with long-dead parents or grandparents. One 91-year old woman dreamed of being reassured by her mother that “everything will be okay.” Others described hugging parents and siblings who told them that they loved them. Still others involved angels and God.
One theme common to many of the dreams was the need to prepare for a journey. Some patients told the researchers that although they felt ready to die and join their loved ones, they were told by those they met that it wasn’t their time yet.
The closer the dreams were to a person’s actual death, the more comforting they became. Likewise, the presence of end-of-life dreams and visions was predictive of a peaceful and calm death.
This study helps us to frame these vivid dreams and visions as a natural part of the dying process and not necessarily as a sign that something is wrong, such as too much pain medicine, for example. It also empowers us to speak openly about them with the person who experiences them. In turn, this allows us to share in their acceptance of death as the natural conclusion to life; to better comfort them; and to be comforted ourselves.

A small amount of pressure in the wrong part of the brain can have widespread effects.
The initial effect of head injuries are often severe and life-threatening but once the danger is over, the ongoing symptoms can often be subtle, including prolonged confusion, depression, personality changes, aggression, agitation, poor attention span, anxiety, poor memory, difficulty sleeping, temperature fluctuations, or simply a feeling of being not quite right. These symptoms often have their origin in restriction patterns caused by the accident and can be helped greatly by craniosacral treatment.
Head injuries leave patterns of restriction in the membranes in the head. If these restriction patterns are causing pressure on the wrong part of the brain the effects can be intense. The amount of pressure can be tiny, only a few microns but they can make a big difference. Just to put that in context a sheet of paper is 100 microns thick.
So a small amount of pressure in the wrong part of the brain can have widespread effects. | <urn:uuid:f659010f-f047-45f8-b08b-088c9db7bc36> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.johndaltontherapy.com/head-injury-after-effects/ | 2020-07-03T09:20:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655881984.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703091148-20200703121148-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.952055 | 200 | [

The LED cube was a fun project and I really enjoyed it, it’s main component boards had two solder contact points for every contact, so if you mess up on one side, you can fix it on the other. The one thing that brought the LED cube down was the fact was that it didn’t give specific instructions on how to bend and solder the LEDs, it just says bend here, or solder the LEDs, not how to. with this kit I feel like I crossed the line between beginner and intermediate.
Click the image below to start your slide-show
I think the reason I didn’t give up on the LED cube project was what I learned this summer at Explo. It reminded me of the Explo spirit because in Explo you are taught that failing is not bad, it is just a chance to try again. It also reminded me of Explo because in Explo when you complete something, your not done with your work, and you keep on improving your work until you decide for yourself that you’re done. Since I like the LED cube, I think I might do the next step up from the 3x3x3 LED cube, I’m going to do the 8x8x8 LED cube, I don’t expect it to be easy, but I expect it to be fun.
I would give this project a total of 3.5 stars because there was nothing that wrong with it, but it wasn’t outstanding. the only bad thing about it was the fact that the LED documentation could have recommended some methods, they were very thoughtful. They made the PCB boards and contact out of durable material because they new some people would mess up, also they provided you with extra LEDs because Soldering the LEDs would be hard.
Me bending, and then soldering LEDs together for the third time — using a METHOD!

LUBEC – A locally televised debate among the three candidates for Washington County sheriff is set for Wednesday, Oct. 4 – but only two of them plan to be there.
Bunky Tinker, a Lubec resident who has organized the debate, said Monday that George Bunker, a Democrat from Baileyville, and Donnie Smith, an independent from Lubec, will be there.
But Rodney Merritt, a Republican from East Machias, has indicated he will not be present.
“Mr. Merritt has been invited, but whether he comes or not, I don’t know,” Tinker said. “He is more than welcome.”
The debate is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. at the town office. It will be televised on local cable Quoddy TV Channel 60, which reaches from Eastport to Cutler to Machias and Whitneyville and towns in between.
Arthur Gordon, one of Lubec’s selectmen, will serve as the moderator. The panelists are David Burns, a former state trooper; John Leighton, a Pembroke selectman; Linda Pagels, city manager in Calais; and Lewis Pinkham, the town manager and chief of police in Milbridge.
Candidates will take questions from the panel for one hour, followed by questions from the floor. Tinker estimates the full debate will take between 90 minutes and two hours.
Tinker will keep open Merritt’s place at the table.
Merritt said last week that the debate falls on the same day that he is taking his father, who recently had a heart attack, to Bangor for a checkup.
Tinker offered to reschedule the debate for a date more convenient for Merritt.
“[Merritt] told me that he was advised by [other politicians] not to participate,” Tinker said
“Then he told me that he had a conflict and was committed to other things. I was more than willing to change the schedule for him. I asked him if he would pick his own date and time, to choose a date when he could make it.
“But he said he is busy every day until the election.”
The other candidates are disappointed that Merritt may be absent.
Each also said separately that Merritt had appeared to ask them to be absent, too.
Asked if that were true, Merritt said he had discussed the debate with both of them, but more in the context of whether the debate would be a fair one.
He said he had “some concerns” early on when the debate was first announced.
“I got told by some experienced politicians that a debate should be fair to all the candidates, that the panel shouldn’t have anyone who is strongly for or against one of the candidates,” he said.
“That’s what I told the others.”
The other candidates say otherwise.
Smith said that last July, Merritt appeared at his house in uniform and “asked me not to debate.
“He pulled into my yard in his cruiser,” Smith said. “He felt that we shouldn’t do [the debate] because if we didn’t, George Bunker would look foolish if he was the only one there.
“I told him that I will debate anyone at any place, any time they have one.”
Bunker said Merritt had approached him by phone more recently.
“He tried to enlist my support not to go,” Bunker said. “He asked me why we should go down there. We went around and around for 15 minutes. He was hemming and hawing, coming up with reasons.
“I told him that these people [the panelists] are straightforward and are not going to hang him. I said if someone throws him a low-ball, I would be the first one to defend him. I said just go and have an honest debate.”
Merritt said he is planning to attend another debate among sheriff candidates on Oct. 19 at the University of Maine at Machias.
Rodney Merritt of East Machias, one of three candidates for Washington County sheriff, believes he was misrepresented in an article in Tuesday’s paper about this evening’s debate in Lubec. He will miss it because he is assisting his father with a medical appointment. However, he has been opposed to attending the debate at all because its moderator, Arthur Glidden, a town selectman, has a campaign sign in his yard supporting Donnie Smith, another of the sheriff candidates. He also opposes the inclusion on the panel of John Leighton, a Pembroke selectman who wrote a negative letter about Merritt that was published in a local weekly newspaper last month. | <urn:uuid:cf74c50b-9dae-452a-bc7c-d633248fed2e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://archive.bangordailynews.com/2006/10/03/sheriffs-race-debate-to-feature-2-of-3-hopefuls/ | 2020-07-05T05:13:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886865.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705023910-20200705053910-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.986112 | 1,019 | [

When marriages end, typically one spouse is angrier than the other. If children are involved, parental alienation is often a common product from the divorce. In fact, many psychologists believe that parental alienation begins before the divorce even starts. Sadly, this is an all too familiar problem for families in Minnesota and around the country.
The driving force of parental alienation in a divorce is usually to punish the other parent. The angry parent will use the children as pawns or weapons because they are important to the alienated parent. The alienating parent will manipulate the children by disparaging the other parent and influencing their emotions and beliefs. Eventually, the children will mimic the parent’s thought pattern and take their aggression out on the alienated parent. Ultimately, the relationship between the alienated parent and the child will be difficult and even nonexistent in some cases.
Studies have shown that parents who alienate children from their other parent demonstrate similar characteristics. They tend to anger easily, and they blame the other spouse for all the problems in the marriage, even if they are the ones who wanted the divorce. They also have difficulty being away from their children, because their children usually become emotional caretakers of the alienating parent.
Most alienating parents are motivated by revenge against the other parent for disrupting their lives. They want to hurt the other parent in the worst way by using the children. They also speak negatively about the other parent to the children, and they will often tell the children lies about the alienated parent. They sometimes cling emotionally to their children and will tell them they cannot make it without them. This creates a false sense of emotional dependency on the children.
All this psychological trauma can be confusing and overwhelming to the children. Many times, the children will give in to the alienating parent because the pressure is too much to handle.
Many alienated parents are dealing with an overload of emotions and don’t know where to turn for help. Consulting with an attorney experienced in divorce proceedings could be an invaluable resource in helping to repair the damage caused by an alienating parent and ensure the children have adequate time with both parents. | <urn:uuid:ae441b51-a289-4649-94f8-0ed7ff9d8009> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.coodinoverson.com/blog/2020/06/understanding-how-parental-alienation-begins/ | 2020-07-05T04:10:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886865.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705023910-20200705053910-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.960744 | 426 | [

4 Important Ideas to Decorate Dining Table
Updated on by
One of the questions you often ask me is how you can decorate the dining table. I admit that sometimes it is difficult to decide what and how to put it, but with these tips that we are going to see today, you will surely get a lot of inspiring ideas.
A few months ago I told you how to decorate the coffee table with 5 simple elements, so take a look at it because it can help you to get ideas.
Above all, don't worry about the size or shape of the table, the main thing is to choose the pieces that best suit the space. Always remember that "less is more" .
The key is to create a composition with various pieces and decorative elements
To make the selection easier, these are some things that are usually placed and that you surely have at home.
- An element that serves as a base: a tray, table runner, placemat, etc.
- Natural decorations: a plant, a vase with flowers or branches, a bowl with fruits or vegetables.
- A set of candles, sailboats or candelabra
- A ceramic or glass piece (bowls, vases, etc.)
- Magazines and books
- A design piece or sculptural figure
Once we have defined these elements, it is time to place them individually or in combination with each other .
4 Ideas to Decorate Dining Table
1. WITH A ENOUGH
If you are one of those who likes simple things and in a minimalist style, place a single piece to decorate the dining table. Sometimes it is enough and no more is needed.
To give it a little color if this alternative seems too bland, opt for a center with natural flowers, a plant or a selection of seasonal fruits.
Another combination that is very good is to place two equal objects, creating a symmetrical set.
If you prefer to mix two different pieces try to make them of different heights and volumes, in this way you will be able to give more movement to the composition.
3. THE THREE RULE
As I have told you on several occasions I am a big fan of the odd rule. It is a rule that I have been using for a long time and it never fails. So you can also apply it to decorate the dining table.
Don't be afraid to mix disparate objects of different shapes, colors, heights, and textures. The important thing is to create a harmonious whole that fills the surface of the table. What is great?
4. A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING
To finish we are going to see a selection that is ideal for decorating large tables where space is not a problem.
In this case, and as in the other proposals, you can use different elements or create several compositions of the same objects.
As a useful tip, I would tell you to always try to find a balance between the pieces that you place. Also, take into account the height and size of the dining room lamps, if it is a very large or striking light, try to ensure that the objects that decorate the table are not too ostentatious.
Above all, be true to your style and it will surely be much easier for you to find the perfect decorations. | <urn:uuid:f8f497d2-14be-416d-bcf3-471644f5c6c2> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.topcarelab.com/ideas-to-decorate-dining-table/ | 2020-07-05T03:35:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886865.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705023910-20200705053910-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.944327 | 684 | [

"The second release on the label comes from Act Cool in collaboration with Najwa Tashi"
"We collaborated with the fantastic Najwa Tashi on this track, she grew up in Yemen, a restricted dangerous environment, with not much to turn to other than music. The ban of music due to religious restrictions was one of the many blockades Najwa Tashi had to face. Despite this she's developed into an incredibly talented artist and collaborated with us to create a song that expresses love, freedom and a higher side to life"

The first time I saw the 1980s flick Lost Boys, my teenage heart raced with excitement and was thoroughly stolen by the dark and broody Jason Patric. From that moment on, I was hooked to the vampire romance. And while there have been dozens of adaptations of the beautiful monster—from sensual to beastly to kickass to sparkly—they all possess this indefinable allure we can’t resist. Though our favorite vampires fall under more than one category, let’s break it down and look at the different types and why we love them.
- The sensual seducer. This falls into the category of Lestat or another of Anne Rice’s vampires who lure their prey to the dark with sensual promise, then bleed them dry. This vampire’s ageless beauty and magnetic power is potent. The victim of their seduction can lead to either their death or the most powerful love of all. In Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the count’s powerful hold over his beloved Mina pulls her into his dark embrace, exactly where she longs to be.
- The wounded monster. The one who is haunted by a tragic past and heartbreak and who uses his power to seek vengeance on his enemies. I can’t help but think of Dracula Untold in which Vlad III (played by the lovely Luke Evans) becomes the monster to save his family and his people. Of course, it has tragic results, but he pounds his enemies into dust—literally—for what they’ve done.
- The sparkly protector. Okay, okay. Let’s talk about it. Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga introduced a brand new kind of vampire—the sparkly, vegetarian type who prefer to live nobly among humankind. Whatever you may think of the series, one thing is for certain. Meyers developed a unique, original vampire who, in my humble opinion, is a heroic, noble kind of beast. And I find him delicious, especially when Edward is fighting off temptation and losing. 😉
- The kickass warrior. Hell yeah. This happens to be my favorite. You can find him in any number of fabulous book series. Dmitri and Viper in Nalini Singh’s The Guildhunter series, Lucan and fellow hotties in Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed series, J.R. Ward’s The Black Dagger Brotherhood, and on and on. These guys are super alpha and deadly as ever. There is no subtlety to their allure. It’s a punch to the gut that melts right down into your panties. These vampires make for one sexy, action-packed, intense love story.
The vampire intrigues readers and movie-goers alike because of exactly what he is—the immortal, beautiful monster. It’s no big secret that the sharp penetration of his fangs in his woman’s soft flesh and the erotic release of blood is a metaphor for another kind of penetration and release altogether. In essence, the vampire is sex-on-a-stick in every possible way—innate predatory tendencies, immortal beauty, insatiable desire for flesh and blood. He makes for the perfect hero or villain. I happen to love writing him as both.
About The Black Lily:
Cinderella like you’ve never seen before…
With the threat of the vampire monarchy becoming stronger every day, the Black Lily must take drastic measures. As the leader of the underground resistance, Arabelle concocts the perfect idea to gain the attention of the Glass Tower. Her plan? Attend the vampire prince’s blood ball and kill him. Fortunately for Prince Marius, her assassination goes awry, and Arabelle flees, leaving behind only her dagger.
Marius is desperate to find the woman whose kiss turned into attempted murder, hunting for the mysterious assassin he can’t push out of his mind. But what he uncovers could change the course of his life forever…
Juliette Cross is a multi-published author of paranormal and urban fantasy romance. She calls lush, moss-laden Louisiana home where she lives with her husband, four kids, and black lab named Kona. From the moment she read JANE EYRE as a teenager, she fell in love with the Gothic romance–brooding characters, mysterious settings, persevering heroines, and dark, sexy heroes. Even then, she not only longed to read more books set in Gothic worlds, she wanted to create her own. | <urn:uuid:b1d1fd39-f05c-4dbf-8a92-126179df3720> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.everafterromance.com/guest-post-a-guide-to-vampires-from-juliette-cross/ | 2020-07-07T09:51:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655891884.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707080206-20200707110206-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.934349 | 938 | [

Hazeljane’s is facing a little bit of a financial crisis. Long time foster boy Grey Knight has an appointment with an ophthalmologist at Missouri State next week. The vet who has been caring for GK has run out of viable options for his chronic dry eyes. Unlike some other dogs with this condition, he doesn’t seem to produce any tears and the precise medications he has been given are not helping for long enough. Dr. Emily believes he will need bilateral surgery which involves having one of his salivary glands re-routed. We estimate the cost, based on her conversations with the University’s veterinary ophthalmology department to be between $3,000 and $4,000. | <urn:uuid:f33576a8-9d04-4be8-b18a-a2abded1df4d> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://hazeljane.com/2017/03/ | 2020-07-09T04:39:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655898347.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709034306-20200709064306-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.973407 | 149 | [

A picture they say, says a thousands words, unfortunately it does not express the fragrance or taste. If it did, you’d know how I feel about this plate of Egusi Soup. It tastes and smells good to the last drop!
I wish we explored our local spices and flavours a little more then we would give up the excessive salt and MSG we put in our food. I made this Egusi without palm oil, however, I replaced palm oil with Palm nut cream, I used a generous about of Ehu ( Calabash Nutmeg), Ogiri and Uziza leaves.
• 2 cups blended Egusi (Melon Seeds)
• Assorted Meats (Snail, Cowleg, Goat meat)
• Assorted Fish (Stock fish, Smoked fish)
• 1 tbsp Ground crayfish
• 3 cups shredded Ugu (flute pumpkin leaves)
• 1 Cup Shredded Uziza leaves
• 2 1/2 Cups Blended Pepper Mix (Tomatoes + Scotch Bonnet + Jalapeño/Bawa/Sombo/ long tatashe)
• 1 Large Onion
• 3 Umilo/Ulima Seed (blended with a dry mill or coffee blender, in the absence of those pound it in a mortar
• 1 Ehu Seed (blend with the Ulima)
• Meat Stock
• 2 Bouillon cubes
• Salt to taste
• 1 wrap Ogiri
• 1 cup of concentrated Palm nut cream. If you’d be making yours use about 500g of Palm nuts (Banga/Akwu). That should yield about 3 cups of palm nut extract.
– Wash, season with salt and bouillon cubes your assorted meats, cook with onion till tender, add assorted fish if using any and add blended pepper, cook till the pepper doesn’t taste raw.
– Add blended Ehu and Ulima seeds, crayfish and Ogiri. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.
– Add your blended Egusi into the soup, it would soak up all the water. Dilute the palm nut concentrate if you are using the tinned type and add to the egusi in the pot. Stir till all is incorporated. At this point taste if it requires additional seasoning with salt or bouillon cubes. Adjust to your taste buds, do not over power.
– Allow the egusi to cook for 10 mins, then stir in the two washed and shredded vegetables. Once the vegetables have gone in cook only for an additional 5 minutes, with the lid off, so as not to over cook and to let excess water escape. The heat of the soup is enough to finish it off after that. Serve with your choice of side dish. | <urn:uuid:6d4c1acd-03a2-4e53-8925-83a3dbe4cf5b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://ounjealadun.com/2015/07/29/egusi-soup-with-a-burst-of-flavours/ | 2020-07-09T05:22:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655898347.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709034306-20200709064306-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.863543 | 570 | [

AGM & Field Day
31/08/2019 @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Due to the great success of last year’s national BNA AGM we are returning to the same great location hosted by the Selborne Society at their Perivale Wood Reserve & their excellent straw-built Bluebell Centre. The reserve has a great range of habitat including ancient
woodland & grassland. As last year the Selborne Soc are kindly providing a complimentary lunch to BNA members & guests. Access is easy as the reserve is just a couple of hundred metres away | <urn:uuid:e08b7e4a-6a46-4853-a292-1e75da987a1a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://bna-naturalists.org/event/agm-field-day/ | 2020-07-10T22:47:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655912255.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710210528-20200711000528-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.952225 | 127 | [

To support the preparations for Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made changes to the services we provide
The first thing I really liked was having one therapist who saw me through using SilverCloud from start to finish. As I know this therapist from work, I can say she is a genuine person, not a robot! She checked in on how I was doing every couple of weeks, helped me out if I got stuck, and also had extra suggestions to make that were very helpful. I find it reassuring to know that, if I was really struggling, my therapist would have been able to signpost me to other sources of support as well. It was good to know she was there, and she cared.
I get bored pretty quickly, so one of the things I enjoyed was the way the information is presented in different ways. There are stories from other SilverCloud users, and their journey is explained from start to finish, including how they use the different strategies.
There are little video clips as well. I loved the mindfulness exercises, as it gave me permission to switch off from my usual round of worries and stress, and do nothing! Mindfulness is definitely something I will practice more, and it was great that these videos supported me in doing this.
I am very enthusiastic about how SilverCloud explained really clearly things like the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It presented me with a nifty little model (I do love a model), and then put my own information into it! It was powerful stuff, seeing my own thoughts, feelings and behaviours right there on screen in front of me. I can still remember it now, and that’s saying something.
I also appreciated how there were several different ways of tackling anxieties. ‘Worry time’, for example, worked fab for me, as I found that I actually didn’t want to worry when given permission to do so. I liked the way realistic and unrealistic worries were explained, and the problem-solving steps for realistic worries. I was able to make good real-life use of this technique, and pass it on to my children too.
For me, a huge benefit of SilverCloud is that, for a certain amount of time after finishing the module, I can go back and look at it again. This is a massive bonus, as far as I’m concerned, because I find it really useful re-visiting sections that were a help the first time round. I can also go over anything I didn’t quite understand as well. It’s like having my own personalised therapy, right there, accessible 24-7.
Now I have finished my own SilverCloud journey, I will definitely be encouraging others to use it. For some people, it might be exactly what they need to start making a change right now. For others it could be the first in a series of steps that will help them get the support that they need. So go ahead and try it – there is nothing to lose, and so much valuable information to gain. | <urn:uuid:fedb3e0b-53ec-4f40-a7be-9e4bb31e408e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://telfordwellbeingservice.mpft.nhs.uk/news/online-therapy | 2020-07-10T21:27:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655912255.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710210528-20200711000528-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.985012 | 626 | [

Prophecy against Moab
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel,
“Woe (judgment is coming) to [the city of] [b]Nebo, for it has been destroyed!
Kiriathaim has been shamed, it has been captured;
Misgab [the high fortress] has been shamed, broken down and crushed.
“The glory of Moab is no more;
In [c]Heshbon they planned evil against her,
Saying, ‘Come, let us cut her off from being a nation!’
You also, O [city of] Madmen, shall be silenced;
The sword will pursue you.
“The sound of an outcry from Horonaim,
‘Desolation and great destruction!’
“Moab is destroyed;
Her little ones have called out a cry of distress [to be heard as far as Zoar].
“For the Ascent of Luhith
Will be climbed by [successive groups of] fugitives with continual weeping;
For on the descent of Horonaim
They have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
“Run! Save your lives,
That you may be like a juniper in the wilderness.
“For because you have trusted in your works [your hand-made idols] and in your treasures [instead of in God],
Even you yourself will be captured;
And [d]Chemosh [your disgusting god cannot rescue you, but] will go away into exile [along with the fugitives]
Together with his priests and his princes.
“And the destroyer will come upon every city;
No city will escape.
The [Jordan] valley also will be ruined
And the plain will be devastated,
As the Lord has said.
“Give a gravestone to Moab,
For she will fall into ruins;
Her cities (pastures, farms) will be desolate,
Without anyone to live in them.
“Cursed is the one who does the work of the Lord negligently,
And cursed is the one who restrains his sword from blood [in executing the judgment of the Lord].
“Moab has been at ease from his youth;
He has also been undisturbed, and settled like wine on his dregs,
And he has not been emptied from one vessel to another,
Nor has he gone into exile.
Therefore his flavor remains in him,
And his scent has not changed.
12 Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, “when I will send to Moab those who will tip him over and who will empty his vessels and break his [earthenware] jars in pieces. 13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh [his worthless, disgusting god], as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their [misplaced] confidence.
“How can you say, ‘We are great warriors
And valiant men in war?’
“Moab has been made desolate and his cities have gone up [in smoke and flame];
And his chosen young men have gone down to the slaughter,”
Says the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
“The destruction of Moab will come soon,
And his disaster hurries quickly.
“Show sympathy for him, all you [nations] who are around him,
And all you [distant nations] who know his name;
Say, ‘How has the mighty scepter [of national power] been broken,
And the splendid staff [of glory]!’
“Come down from your glory,
O Daughter living in [e]Dibon,
And sit on the parched ground [among the thirsty]!
For the destroyer of Moab has advanced against you;
He has destroyed your strongholds.
“O inhabitant of Aroer,
Stand by the road and keep watch!
Ask [of] him who flees and [ask of] her who escapes,
Saying, ‘What has happened?’
“Moab is shamed, for she has been broken down and shattered.
Wail and cry out!
Tell by [the banks of] the Arnon
That Moab has been destroyed.
21 “Judgment has come on [the land of] the plain—upon Holon, Jahzah, and against Mephaath, 22 against Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim, 23 against Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon, 24 against Kerioth, Bozrah and all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near. 25 The horn (strength) of Moab has been cut off and his arm [of authority] is shattered,” says the Lord. 26 “Make him drunk, for he has become arrogant and magnified himself against the Lord [by denying Reuben’s occupation of the land the Lord had assigned him]. Moab also will wallow in his vomit, and he too shall become a laughingstock. 27 For was not Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he caught among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head in scorn.
“You inhabitants of Moab,
Leave the cities and live among the rocks,
And be like the dove that makes her nest
In the walls of the yawning ravine.
“We have heard of the [giddy] pride of Moab, the extremely proud one—
His haughtiness, his arrogance, his conceit, and his self-exaltation.
“I know his [insolent] wrath,” says the Lord,
“But it is futile;
His idle boasts [in his deeds] have accomplished nothing.
“Therefore I will wail over Moab,
And I will cry out for all Moab.
I will sigh and mourn over the men of Kir-heres (Kir-hareseth).
“O vines of Sibmah, I will weep for you
More than the weeping of Jazer [over its ruins and wasted vineyards].
Your tendrils [of influence] stretched across the sea,
Reaching [even] to the sea of Jazer.
The destroyer has fallen
On your summer fruits and your [season’s] crop of grapes.
“So joy and gladness are taken away
From the fruitful field and from the land of Moab.
And I have made the wine cease from the wine presses;
No one treads the grapes with shouting.
Their shouting is not joyful shouting [but is instead, a battle cry].
34 From the outcry at Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz they have raised their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah; for even the waters of Nimrim will become desolations. 35 Moreover, I will cause to cease in Moab,” says the Lord, “the one who ascends and offers sacrifice in the high place and the one who burns incense to his gods.
36 “Therefore My heart moans and sighs for Moab like flutes, and My heart moans and sighs like flutes for the men of Kir-heres (Kir-hareseth); therefore [the remnant of] the abundant riches they gained has perished. 37 For every head is [shaven] bald and every beard cut off; there are cuts (slashes) on all the hands and sackcloth on the [f]loins [all expressions of mourning]. 38 On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation (expressions of grief for the dead) everywhere, for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which there is no pleasure,” says the Lord. 39 “How it is broken down! How they have wailed! How Moab has turned his back in shame! So Moab will become a laughingstock and a [horrifying] terror to all who are around him.”
40 For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, one (Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon) will fly swiftly like an eagle
And spread out his wings against Moab.
“Kerioth [and the cities] has been taken
And the strongholds seized;
And the hearts of the warriors of Moab in that day
Shall be like the heart of a woman in childbirth.
“Moab will be [g]destroyed from being a nation (people)
Because he has become arrogant and magnified himself against the Lord.
“Terror and pit and snare are before you,
O inhabitant of Moab,” says the Lord.
“The one who flees from the terror
Will fall into the pit,
And the one who gets up out of the pit
Will be taken and caught in the trap;
For I shall bring upon it, even upon Moab,
The year of their punishment,” says the Lord.
“In the shadow of Heshbon
The fugitives stand powerless [helpless and without strength],
For a fire has gone out from Heshbon,
A flame from the midst of Sihon;
It has destroyed the forehead of Moab
And the crowns of the heads of [the arrogant Moabites] the ones in tumult.
“Woe (judgment is coming) to you, O Moab!
The people of [the pagan god called] Chemosh have perished;
For your sons have been taken away captive
And your daughters into captivity.
“Yet I will return the captives and restore the fortunes of Moab
In the latter days,” says the Lord.
Thus far is the judgment on Moab.
- Jeremiah 48:1 The Moabites were descendants of Lot through his elder daughter. Chemosh was the primary god of the territory of Moab. The territory of Moab was located east of the Dead Sea.
- Jeremiah 48:1 The towns of Nebo and Kiriathaim were located in the rich pasturelands allotted to the tribe of Reuben. Their exact location, as well as that of the other towns mentioned, is uncertain.
- Jeremiah 48:2 A border town between territories of Reuben and Gad, east of the Jordan River.
- Jeremiah 48:7 Chemosh was the national god revered by the Moabites. Burning children as a sacrifice was part of the ritualistic worship. Solomon, in response to requests from his Moabite wives, established an altar to Chemosh on a hill east of Jerusalem (1 Kin 11:7). This repulsive idol remained in place for nearly three hundred years.
- Jeremiah 48:18 Dibon, known today as Dhiban, stands on two hills. The famous Moabite Stone, a stela of black basalt, was found among the ruins of Dibon in 1868, and had been inscribed in 850 b.c. to commemorate certain accomplishments of King Mesha of Moab, including a victory in his revolt against Israel. Also recorded on the Moabite Stone was the fact that King Mesha built (or restored) the city of Aroer and made the road over the Arnon. The city of Aroer mentioned in this chapter (v 19) stood on the north side of the river Arnon (v 20), just south of Dibon. The inscriptions on the stone are written in a Phoenician dialect similar to an early form of the Hebrew language.
- Jeremiah 48:37 The midsection of the body between the lower ribs and the hips.
- Jeremiah 48:42 Nebuchadnezzar (605-562 b.c.) subjugated the Moabites, but they continued to exist as a people into the first century a.d. (though the national existence of both Moab and Ammon seems to have ended long before the time of Christ). This in itself is a remarkable fulfillment of prophecy; but the fact that Moab’s fortunes are to be restored “in the latter days” (v 47) and have proceeded toward that end is even more amazing. Yet Moab is only one of the numerous nations whose fate was accurately written down in advance by the ancient prophets of God. | <urn:uuid:567d63ea-2718-402a-8da3-c0b7d2c1780b> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.biblica.com/bible/amp/jeremiah/48/ | 2020-07-10T23:32:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655912255.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710210528-20200711000528-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.963731 | 2,656 | [

The consultancy created a black and pink logo that joins the ‘T’ and ‘W’ of brand founder Webb’s name.
Aesop describes the monogram as ‘iconic and bold – classic with a modern twist’, aiming to create a look that echoes the designs in the clothing range and works across all applications.
The consultancy says that the packaging aims to ‘take the customer on a journey of discovery.’
Design director Dan Calderwood says, ‘We constructed a box consisting of overlapping folded sections that echo the sharp angles of the monogram.
‘We wanted to create an original piece with an element of ‘theatricality”’.
The boxes contain a card within a pink envelope; while swing tags bear the words ‘Tabitha Webb, With Love’. The packaging is finished with a black monogrammed sticker reading ‘Love More, Worry Less’.
The identity is used across all touch points including packaging and the e-commerce site, which features larges images and hosts social area ‘small talk’, where Webb will share news with site visitors. The area will also be a ‘home for PR and celebrity “spottings”’, says Aesop. | <urn:uuid:e9110b25-668a-4fd6-871a-3901931f29e1> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.designweek.co.uk/issues/july-2014/aesop-creates-identity-for-tabitha-webb-womens-fashion-brand/ | 2020-07-14T20:03:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657151197.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714181325-20200714211325-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.904485 | 273 | [

I went through 3 different realtors that just wasted my time and money. Kyle made this time around not only easy but the process went fast. After looking on and off for almost 2 years I am finally a home owner again.
Kyle is an excellent agent; he is very informative, Helped me get in touch with an excellent lender, took all my suggestions to heart and heard what I wanted and found a home in no time. He puts himself out there to fight for his client! Thanks Kyle!
Kyle is a great realtor! He made the process of buying our first home as smooth as possible. He worked tirelessly and patiently for us. He’s knowledgeable, honest and hard working. I highly recommend him. | <urn:uuid:1008168c-d573-4166-ad24-8c6658108e43> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.sellvegasrealty.com/contact/ | 2020-07-03T15:49:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882634.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703153451-20200703183451-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.957977 | 219 | [

I’ve wanted to have a VPN setup for a while - I’ve never been entirely comfortable when using public wifi, even secured public wifi… Open wifi? I feel a little crazy every time I connect. But I usually console myself that I’m not a target, I can make sure important connections are encrypted, and I can just avoid doing some things while on public wifi.
A VPN though, that could make things much easier! All communications would be encrypted between the device I’m using and my VPN endpoint. If I set it up myself, the VPN endpoint would be my home Internet connection. This essentially makes all my browsing look like it’s coming from home, with solid protection between the coffee shop and home… I could do any browsing I wanted without worry! Also, I would essentially be connected to my home network, giving me access to all my devices there.
OpenVPN seems like the popular self-setup VPN, it’s open-source, and there are plenty of tutorials… OpenVPN, that sounds friendly!
It was not.
If you have tried to set this beast up yourself, you know what I’m talking about.
The purpose of this post is to document what I’ve done. This will help me when I, inevitably, have to redo the setup in the future. It may help you if you’re trying to do something similar. First of all, let’s talk about hardware:
- Netgear WNDR3400
- Early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan
- Samsung Galaxy S5
Here’s the software I ended up using on each of these devices to get OpenVPN working:
“Big” versions of DD-WRT have an OpenVPN server built-in! I’ve been using DD-WRT for years, previously on a few WRT-54G’s, but now I’ve got this N-Netgear (which is great) which also runs DD-WRT. Lucky me!
First - get the above software installed. You’re going to need to do some configuration on each of them, so I’ll describe that next.
Second - generate some keys! Your VPN is going to use cryptographic certificates to secure the communications between all the parts.
Third - setup the server. This is the DD-WRT router, in this case.
Fourth - setup the Mac client. Or whatever client you want…
Fifth - setup the Android client.
How Do These Certificate Things Work?
Here’s how it’s going to work - there’s a “server” end (the router at home - the thing running DD-WRT) and multiple “client” ends (my Mac and my Android). Every one of these parts will have a unique certificate - in my setup I’ve got three certificates. Each client needs its own certificate or OpenVPN will barf - don’t cheap out on me! I learned this from experience.
A certificate sounds like a piece of paper, and you can imagine it that way… It’s like a piece of paper with a big number written on it, that number is a “public” key. There’s a companion piece of info called the “private” key. You can give anyone the public key… It’s like a physical key, that they can use to lock a secret message in a box. BUT - the public key won’t open the box back up once the secret message is in there - because math. The message writer can hand the box to anybody, but no key will open that box again except the private key.
YOU DIDN’T GIVE ANYONE THE PRIVATE KEY, DID YOU? Don’t. The private key opens the box and you can get the message.
So, you could write your certificate out on the Internet and then folks can send you secret messages! That’s how OpenVPN does its thing. Later on, when this thing starts working, you’ll connect to the server and it’ll send you its certificate (so you can send it your browsing requests secretly) and you’ll send the server your certificate (so it can send you the responses to your requests secretly). Again - OpenVPN needs a separate certificate for each client because it’s needly like that.
OpenVPN does another cool thing with these certificates - it determines who’s allowed to connect and use the system. For this purpose you need a fourth certificate called a “certificate authority” (CA) cert. This one is not special, it is the same as the other ones, but OpenVPN uses it backwards. You generate the CA public and private key, and then you encrypt other certificates with that CA private key! Before, remember, we sent secret messages by encrypting (locking the box) with the public key, then only the private key could open the box (decrypt). By encrypting with the private key, now only the public key can decrypt - and nothing can re-encrypt.
This is cool because anybody can open the box and make sure that someone who holds the CA private key wrote the message inside! If anybody changes the message inside, everybody else will know that the new message wasn’t the original. This is called “digitally signing” something. Nobody can change the document you put the CA’s signature on.
How Do We Make Certificates?
Ok! So, that’s how it works, but now how do we set it up on a Mac? Just an aside - this is much easier on a Debian box, and you use the same tools.
Open up a terminal.
mkdir OpenVPNKeys cp -R /Applications/Tunnelblick.app/Contents/Resources/easy-rsa-tunnelblick/* ./
This makes a place to store everything, and copies over a bunch of tools that will make the job easier. Specifically, this thing called Easy-RSA. Now we need setup some configuration for Easy-RSA. It’s essentially a set of scripts, so we’re going to edit a file with some shell variables in it, then source that file so the variables become part of the environment. I’ll walk you through it.
Edit the “vars” file that’s now in your directory. I prefer vi, maybe you like nano, but use whatever text file editor you want. Leave almost everything as it is, but scroll to the bottom. Change your country, province/state, city, org[anization], and email to be whatever you want, whatever makes sense. Something legit maybe? (maybe?) You don’t have to change most of these things.
There are now the CN, OU and Name fields. Don’t put spaces in these things. Maybe that’s just superstition, but I wouldn’t do it. These fields don’t seem to matter much unless you’re trying to organize a large set of keys across an organization… If you’re reading this you probably aren’t, so you can just leave them alone.
. ./vars ./clean-all
That brings all those variables into the environment so the other scripts can use them, and clears out old config.
These setup the certificate authority certificate and some stuff for the Diffie-Hellman key exchange (look it up suckah!). The first command will ask you a bunch of questions with default answers set to what you put in vars. You can probably just hit enter right through them. This next one is going to ask you some questions too, but again, enter will probably be fine.
./build-key-pkcs12 --pass [someUniqueNameForTheKey]
This step is going to build a certificate for your client to use, you’re eventually going to take what the command outputs and put it on your phone, tablet or laptop. Again, each client needs its own certificate. Replace “someUniqueNameForTheKey” with something related to the client you’re going to put the certificate on - something without spaces in it.
This step is going to ask you for two passwords. The first is the “challenge password”. “Leave it blank”, everyone says! Fools. Leave it blank, I say! Fools run the planet, they seem to know what they’re doing well enough.
No really, leave the first one blank. The second password is the “Export Password”. I recommend putting in a password here… Clients generally ask for this password the first time they use the cert, then don’t need it again. The export password seems to prevent against someone finding the cert and using it, but don’t slow you down from using it.
Build as many certificates as you need. Each of them will be stored in the “keys” directory as a “.p12” file. One cert per client.
How Do We Setup The Server?
Alright, certs are built, now how do we setup our DD-WRT? Login to your router, go to Services->VPN, and make that page look like the one below. (Click on it to get a big version…)
Ok - that image explained where to get the values you need for the crypto settings, but there are a couple other values you should consider changing from my setup… Literally, only two! Easy stuff.
First - you need to change something in the first “Additional Config” line. You need to make this line reflect your internal LAN. You can find that info on the “Setup” tab (don’t forget to save your settings before switching over there!). Take “Local IP Address” and “Subnet Mask” from “Setup”->"Basic Setup”->"Network Setup”->"Router IP” and put it in that first “Additional Config” line in that order.
Next - decide what subnet you want VPN clients to be on. I recommend picking something weird like “192.168.8.0”. This should be different from your internal LAN (see the previous step). If your internal LAN isn’t .8.0, just use the settings I show in the screenshot. To change your VPN client LAN, change “Network” on the VPN page, and change the third line of “Additional Config”.
What is “Additional Config” doing, anyway? It’s telling the server to send any clients that connect (to “push” them) some networking information. Specifically, it’s telling clients how to talk to the internal network and to use the router as the DNS server.
Save the configuration and apply it now.
We’ve got a couple steps left to finish the router configuration, but we’ll need some more information. Specifically, we need to know what the router calls your “tunneling” network adapter. This is a software-based network device that all the traffic is going to flow through. It’s kindof a complicated concept, but it’s like a network connection within a network connection - like it a connection tunneling through your existing connection.
It’s easy to find though. Go to “Administration”->"Commands” on the router admin page. Enter “ifconfig” in the “Commands” box and click “Run Commands”. This will refresh the page slowly and output a bunch of information. Look for a block of text that starts with something like “tun0” or “tun1” and that has your VPN client subnet info near it. It could be any number after “tun”. Mine is “tun0”, so that’s what you’ll see in the rest of this tutorial. Just replace every “tun0” with your specific “tun” entry!
While you’re here, also note what bridge network your local LAN is using. This is probably near the top of the ifconfig output and will be called “br0” or something and will have your local LAN info near it. You just need the basic device, not anything with a colon in it (your router will get colon cancer if you use the colonnaded one (that wordplay was hardcore terrible!)).
So, now we need to fix up the DNS server a little. Go to “Services”->"Services” on your router config. Enable DNSMasq, disable Local DNS, enable “No DNS Rebind”, enter “interface=tun0” in the Additional DNSMasq Options. Remember - use the “tun” you got from the router, don’t just blindly use “tun0”.
Save and apply your configuration.
Now we need to setup some firewall stuff. Go back to “Administration”->"Commands” and enter the following block of text in the “Commands” box. We’re going to edit it a little before running it, though.
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD 1 --source 192.168.8.0/24 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o tun0 -j ACCEPT iptables -I FORWARD -i tun0 -o br0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.8.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
First - change “192.168.8.0” on the second and fifth lines to be whatever you set your VPN client subnet info to. Why does it have a “/24” afterwards? This is a short way of specifying the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Hopefully you used that subnet mask with the VPN client subnet… Otherwise you’re on your own suckah! (If you used a different subnet, you can calculate the right “/” to put in there, it’s called CIDR Notation, and here’s a calculator for you)
Second - change the instances of “br0” and “tun0” on the third and fourth lines to reflect your router’s bridge and tunnel interfaces.
Run commands, save firewall, now the new firewall config should show up right below the “Commands” box.
Ok, so that took a while, but hopefully it was pretty much straightforward. We’re done with the router!
Setup the Mac Client
Tunnelblick is not tough to use, and neither is the Android client. Many OpenVPN clients use the configuration filetype “.ovpn”. We’re going to build a version that will work for both Tunnelblick and Android, and all you’ll have to do is change the certificate file name.
I had to use a bunch of trial-and-error and Internet tutorials to figure this out and make it work, but I think the configuration below will work for most OpenVPN clients.
Make a file with the following contents:
client dev tun proto udp port 1194 remote yourRoutersExternalAddress resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun remote-cert-tls server comp-lzo verb 1 reneg-sec 0 pull pkcs12 clientKeyFileHere.p12 cipher AES-128-CBC link-mtu 1570 auth SHA256
Change the line “pkcs12” to be the name of one of your client .p12 certificate/key files. Change the line “remote” to reflect your router’s external Internet address - the address other folks on the Internet can use to talk to your router. Save this configuration file with a name like “macbookConfiguration.ovpn”.
Alright - back to the Mac specific part! Copy the ovpn and p12 files for your Mac to the Mac. Double click the ovpn file. Tunnelblick will open up and import the configuration. Click “connect” in Tunnelblick. It will ask you for the “export password” you put in when you created this client certificate - enter that. Tunnelblick should connect to your VPN now .(Probably don’t try this stuff on your local LAN, although that might work just fine. Probably try it at a nearby coffee shop with wifi, or on your neighbor’s wifi.)
That’s it. Your Mac is setup and VPN’d to your home Internet connection! Prove it by going to Google and searching for “what is my IP address”. Google should give you the same IP address now, when you’re not physically at home but VPN’d there, as it does when you’re at home.
Setup the Android Client
Build an “ovpn” file in the same way we did for the Mac, but using your Android certificate. Copy the ovpn and p12 files over to your Android. Open “OpenVPN Connect” on your Android, and click the “…” up in the upper right. Click “Import”. Select “Import PKCS #12 from SD card”. Browse to your p12 file and click it. Enter the password. Go back to the OpenVPN Connect home screen and click the “…” again. Click Import and this time “Import Profile from SD card”. Select the ovpn file you copied over.
Click “Connect” on the OpenVPN Connect home screen.
That’s it! Your Android is setup! Prove it using the google IP address trick we used in the Mac section at the end.
Something to watch out for - if you connect to the VPN while you’re on your cell network, then you move in range of a wifi network and intend to use that network, you must disconnect from the VPN, wait a second, and reconnect. After reconnecting the VPN it should be running over the wifi network.
So, I hope I gave you enough detail and walkthrough to figure out how to setup your VPN successfully. It took me a pretty significant amount of research and time to set the damn thing up, so hopefully I’ve saved you some time. There are a lot of tutorials out there that cover parts of this setup, but this is the first I’ve seen that goes all the way start to finish explaining each step.
What if this doesn’t work for you? Well, you can email me. I’ll try to help. Probably. If I’m not busy. Better - try to troubleshoot it. This VPN is a system of systems, so lots of parts can go wrong. Let’s walk through a few.
I got the server and clients setup, but neither client will connect to the server - Cool, I bet this is a server problem! First step - remember that the server is your home router. Is it working and connected to the Internet at home? Did the router change addresses since you built your OVPN file (dynamic DNS services can help solve this problem, but that’s for a different tutorial)? Can you ping your router while you’re not at home (you’ll have to disable “Block Anonymous WAN Requests (ping)” under “Security”->"Firewall” to try this, enable it again when pings work from the outside, because enabling this setting is a little more secure)?
Second step - use Tunnelblick’s “Log” tab to help you figure out what is breaking and where. Some of the output is right there in the tab, some of the output is spit into a separate file that is referenced there on the log tab. Search for the warnings and errors and Google them. Here are some of the things this log can help you fix, in the order that you should check/fix them.
2.1 - Can Tunnelblick start talking to your home router, or does the connection break before that even happened?
2.2 - Can Tunnelblick start the exchange of session parameters? This is where your client tells the server what kind of stuff it will accept, and the server tells the client the same. Do you see that kind of exchange happening?
2.3 - Are the server and the client telling each other they can use the same session parameters? In my experience, the client and server had to be specifying the exact same parameters.
2.4 - Is the crypto all working out? Maybe the certificates are in the wrong place on the server…
The router also has a server log on it, and that can help too. It will tell you some similar things.
I got the server and clients setup, but one of the clients won’t connect and the other will!
The problem probably lies with the broken client. Maybe Googling stuff in its log file will help you?
One of the clients connects, but when I connect the second client it boots the first off after a short period!
You probably are trying to use the same certificate/key for both clients. Don’t do that.
finity - Mar 6, 2016
I am pretty careless with the difference between certificates and keys… For folks that are new to this - there is a difference. A certificate contains a key. The private keys here don’t have certificates. | <urn:uuid:c36581f9-0033-4d49-9341-4d2255a6b104> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://blog.notmet.net/2016/03/building-your-own-openvpn/ | 2020-07-03T17:08:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882634.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703153451-20200703183451-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.909748 | 4,643 | [

The city has made homelessness a top issue over the last couple years, with major increases in funding for homelessness services ($28 million/year) along with new strategies for connecting those on the streets to services that will lead them to housing.
One program of note is the Homeless Outreach Street Team, a pilot collaboration of the police department, health specialists and EMS, which kicked off in June 2016. It’s a team of people from those agencies who try to engage directly with homeless people, see what kind of help they might need, and refer them to resources. Council allocated funding to make that program permanent.
Now the city is announcing a new pilot program modeled after one that got a lot of attention in Albuquerque.
A new pilot program between the City of Austin, Family Eldercare, and The Other Ones Foundation (TOOF) provides labor opportunities for those experiencing homelessness.
As of October 15, the Workforce First Program offers day employment opportunities such as litter abatement in City parks. Team members provide employees with transportation to and from worksites, lunch, and counseling services.
Outgoing Council Member Ellen Troxclair has been a big booster of the plan, viewing it as a shining example of compassionate conservatism. She’s quoted in the city press release:
“I am so thrilled the Workforce First program is underway! My goal is to empower people experiencing homelessness in Austin by providing them the chance to earn money through a day’s work, while getting them connected to counseling and services they may need to get back on their feet. I am hopeful this pilot program will grow and evolve into a sustainable model for helping the homeless break the cycle of poverty in a truly transformative way. Thank you to Chris Baker with The Other Ones Foundation for his work in making this a success so far!” said Ellen Troxclair, Austin City Council Member District 8.
When I reported on the early conversation about this policy last year, I noted that Troxclair, pragmatically, didn’t object to Greg Casar and Kathie Tovo’s insistence that participants in the program be paid the city living wage ($15 now). | <urn:uuid:ca581312-b1d5-48f3-8821-eddd40b303cc> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://austinpolitics.net/2018/11/27/jobs-for-the-homeless/ | 2020-07-05T09:10:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.955143 | 443 | [

When Ethan Martin spoke of his new surroundings in the Phillies’ clubhouse, the young right-hander with terrific stuff pointed toward Cole Hamels.
“It’s great to be here since I can learn from guys like him,” Martin said.
The lesson to be learned this year from Hamels is how to deal with adversity. Early in the season, Hamels had trouble locating his fastball and lost some ballgames he should have won.
But Hamels has turned it around, even though his team has had trouble supporting him on the scoreboard.
“I don’t worry about things I can’t control,” Hamels said last week. “I can only focus on what I can do.”
Hamels has certainly matured. There was a time when he would raise his arms in disgust when an error was committed behind him. If he did that this year, he probably would have pulled a muscle by now. The Phillies have simply not come through for Hamels or anybody else.
Hamels (5-13) leads the league in his losses, but it’s not his fault. He has a 1.98 ERA in his last eight starts. It wouldn’t be surprising if Hamels, 3.65 ERA right now, finished with an ERA under three. That shows how bad it is for the Phillies.
“I believe the offense will get it going,” Hamels said.
Perhaps it will happen in 2014. It doesn’t look promising in 2013. The way the team is playing, it’s probably not in the injured Ryan Howard’s best interest to rush back. The same could be said for Ben Revere.
There’s not much to play for when injuries pile up and the team is buried in the standings. Well, except one thing.
“You play for pride,” Cliff Lee said. “You have to.” | <urn:uuid:f49dbf70-276c-46aa-8055-6b14d294ab73> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://philly.metro.us/phillies-still-playing-for-pride/ | 2020-07-05T10:25:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.983826 | 410 | [

In June 2014, at the height of his power, ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi stood in the pulpit of the iconic 12th-century al-Nuri mosque in Mosul, Iraq, and delivered a now-infamous sermon declaring the creation of a new ISIS “caliphate.” It was a hugely symbolic setting, meant to bolster Baghdadi’s claim to be the leader of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims and to broadcast to the world that ISIS was now a major force to be reckoned with.
On Wednesday, ISIS blew up that same mosque as Iraqi forces closed in on the ancient complex as part of their final push to retake Mosul, Iraq’s second-biggest city. It was a symbolic move of a very different sort, one that signals just how far ISIS’s fortunes in Iraq have fallen in a few short years.
ISIS has destroyed countless mosques and ancient buildings before, but its demolition of the al-Nuri mosque — and its famous tilting al-Hadba minaret — was a particularly painful blow for many Iraqis. The mosque complex was one of the most recognizable buildings in Iraq, one featured on the 10,000 dinar bill. Its minaret has graced the Mosul skyline for more than 800 years. And now, in the blink of an eye, it’s gone. | <urn:uuid:25b0cece-468a-4c43-a667-26fdf2b92bd5> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.glennbeck.com/2017/06/23/isis-just-blew-up-the-842-year-old-mosque-where-it-announced-its-caliphate/ | 2020-07-05T11:39:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887319.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705090648-20200705120648-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.975032 | 282 | [

What are Some of the Most Popular Martial Arts to Practice
Here at krav maga classes in north york you will find out more about different types of martial arts.
MCMAP – MARINE CORPS MARTIAL ARTS PROGRAM
Country of origin: America
No army in the world was fighting more than the United States Army. The average Marine fought in two armed conflicts annually every year since 1775. Among the Marines, this martial art has the nickname “Semper Fu”. Today, this skill has progressed by taking the best out of other martial arts in the countries where the Marines led wars. The latest trainings include improvised weapons, bayonets and even parts of the weapon as a pain killer.
Before the MCMAP, Marines used a martial art called LINE system. Line for the “Linear Infighting Neural Override Engagement” whose sole aim was to kill the opponents with stronger bumps into fragile parts of the body. Subsequently, since marines were operating in missions where it was not important to kill everyone present, MCMAP was created as a milder version of LINE and therefore, human. Yes. Now, in a close fight, they only sometimes kill their opponents.
Country of origin: Malaysia
The Pirates, the Portuguese, the British and even the Japanese crashed in Malaysia during the Second World War. Unlike the French, they invented Silat, a martial art in which they drew from each of their attackers a bit. What is the result is the third killer skill in the world. Silat is not like other skills in which it is necessary to achieve mental enlightenment, self-knowledge in meditation or perfectionism of the movement. Silat is concentrated only on causing pain, with no additives. The style is characterized by a quick attack in which it is very important to quickly approach the opponent, break it in ten seconds and then pass it by a strong blow to the face, throat or kidney. There is no honor, no fame, only dirty blows and exploitation of weaknesses. Even encouraging blows to the crotch. Yes. In the testicles. The stronger the punch the better. You must have seen them before on television. All students of this skill in training must experience how it is when someone breaks the line of bricks embedded on the ribs or when you have to bend the metal bars around the neck.
Country of origin: Philippines
Dangerous and old Philippine martial arts based on the beating of the opponents with shamefully small wooden sticks. For hundreds of years, the Filipinos nurtured this tradition and the skill of quick blows, arms or legs, disarming and killing people. The philosophy of Eskrima is that the lack of weapons does not have to mean that you cannot kill an opponent with bare hands. Modern Eskrima has two versions. One is wearing armor for the whole body with masks, while the second version, a bit more brutal, takes place in hens at illegal battles with metal rods and a little sponge. | <urn:uuid:3b8b7c99-173d-4451-be28-feeacdb6c289> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://squmj.org/what-are-some-of-the-most-popular-martial-arts-to-practice/ | 2020-07-07T11:58:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655892516.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20200707111607-20200707141607-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.957352 | 609 | [

This comment on my Facebook feed summed up recent days in politics with laconic accuracy: "I'm frustrated that there seems to be no room in our political landscape for pro-life Democrats."
The lament was no doubt a critique of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, where the left's political elite and their minions - and detractors - gathered to nominate Hillary Clinton as their candidate for president.
Very much like the Republican Party's convention in Cleveland, and perhaps even more so, the Democrats' event, while intended to unify, became a showcase for deep divisions and growing frustrations within the party.
Day one of the convention, as described by Washington Examiner columnist Byron York, was a day of "venting."
Sen. Bernie Sanders' supporters, irate over the WikiLeaks disclosures that confirmed party leaders' efforts to undermine the Sanders campaign, held out hope he would challenge Clinton's delegates on the convention floor.
The disclosures cost Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz her role as party chairwoman, and deservedly so. But that wasn't enough to quell accusations that she stole the party's nomination for Clinton.
York wrote last week, "Just the mention of Hillary Clinton has prompted boos all across Philadelphia in the last few days. Some hard-core Bernie people have even indulged in the same 'Lock her up!' chant heard at the Republican convention in Cleveland," a problematic mantra for the Democratic candidate.
While Sanders tried to mollify his followers, many remained vocal about their discontent with the party and their hatred of Clinton.
During Monday evening's speeches, wrote Federalist senior correspondent John Daniel Davidson, "Sometimes the chanting and booing stopped speakers short, sometimes it rose up after applause for Clinton had died down. But it was always there, casting an awkward pall over what DNC officials were hoping would be, according to the official schedule, 'United Together Monday.'"
As York of the Washington Examiner concluded, "It seemed the only Bernie supporters who remained quiet were the ones who had put blue duct tape over their mouths, on which they wrote 'Silenced by the DNC.'"
But the DNC has bigger problems. Its leadership should be focusing its efforts on beating Republican nominee Donald Trump, which may prove a more difficult task than logic and some polls suggest.
Instead, the convention became little more than an opportunity for liberal leadership to engage in what Weekly Standard writer Jonathan Last called its "favorite pastime: virtue signaling."
While Trump's lack of conservative ideology led some of the Republican convention's prime-time speeches, namely Ivanka Trump's, to moderate (or in some cases totally ignore) the party's positions, the Democrats doubled down on liberal causes - LGBT rights, the Black Lives Matter movement, gender equality, taxpayer funding of abortion and contraception, etc. - positioning itself for a culture war that Trump and many of his followers aren't even fighting.
Whether it's an attempt to scoop up some of the party malcontents or a fundamental failure to understand that it's not facing a typical Republican candidate in Trump, the Democratic Party's decision to run to its left flank is a confirmation that its "tent" is shrinking.
Indeed, there is no longer any room for a pro-life Democrat, or any Democrat who doesn't fall in line behind party leaders.
Some conservatives, myself included, despondent over the selection of Trump as our presidential nominee, have been too preoccupied with the cleavages in our own party to pay much attention to the other side.
Philadelphia shows that our entire political landscape is fraught with disagreement.
Many have observed that the GOP has nominated the one candidate who could lose to Clinton. The irony is that the reverse may also be true: The Democrats have nominated the one candidate who could lose to Trump. Chaos within their party is at least partly to blame.

Lonepine Koala Sanctuary, Brisbane
I just got back from Australia and one of the most memorable moments while I was in Brisbane was visiting the Lonepine Koala Sanctuary. Established in 1927, Lonepine was a refuge for Koalas who were being hunted for the fur trade. It now houses 100 species of Australian wildlife and has contributed to countless research initiatives. I’m not an animal lover by any stretch of the imagination, but this was a really great experience that I think everyone will enjoy. If you have allergies, remember to take something for it before hand.
Prices (in AUD)
- Adult: $27
- Child (3-13): $22
- Students & Seniors: $24
- Take a High Res photo with a Koala in an awkward Prom pose: $20
There is also family/group pricing that will save you some money if you inquire about it. If you want to take the picture holding a Koala, I suggest you do it early, because the line moves pretty slowly. Also, watch your step, there are lizards and birds all over the park who are used to humans, so keep an eye on where you step (I almost kicked a bush turkey).
When you’re done holding Koalas there is a whole myriad of things to do around Lonepine. Buying feed (I think it cost $5 AUD) will give you a chance to interact with kangaroos in the park. It’s one of the more interesting things to do there, just make sure you wash your hands.
Also, is it me, or does it feel like animals judge you when you try to take selfies with them? Case in point:
Look at how disgusted that kangaroo looks!
Look at birds
Not only will you get to interact with emus in the kangaroo area, but you’ll also get a chance to observe another giant bird called a cassowary. It was a bit shy when I was there, but it’s truly an odd and fascinating experience. There is an area with bats and birds, a perfect place to sit awhile and just listen to the interesting chirps and calls.
**Note: if you’re going to pet anything be sure you pet them on the back and not the head!
Observe the other wildlife
With a Tasmanian devil, Dingo pit, and reptile area you’re sure to have a good time watching these Australian creatures go about their day. Make sure you look at the platypus and participate in the other activities offered at the park.
Snapchat all your friends and make them jealous
Yeah yeah, I know what you’re thinking. But one of the things that is nice about Lonepine is that there is complimentary Wi-Fi all throughout the reserve. There are lots of outlets around too if you need to charge your electronics.
Getting to Lonepine Koala Sanctuary
Lonepine isn’t too far from Brisbane city and if you have your own car it shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes to get there. Obviously you can grab a taxi or and uber, but it may be pricey.
708 Jesmond Road
Fig Tree Pocket, Queensland 4069
If you want to take a more scenic route, there is a 1 hour + cruise via Mirimar cruises that leaves from the cultural center pontoon at 10am. It costs $75 for a round trip (the cruise leaves Lonepine at 2:15PM) and includes the park admission. If you’re looking for a 1 way trip, it’s $27.
If you’re in Brisbane for a couple days, be sure to pick up a “Go Card” and use the cities excellent public transportation. Getting the card is cheaper than paying individual bus fares and it’s refillable. There is an actual bus stop for Lone Pine, so it’s pretty easy to navigate and it took me about 45 minutes to get there.
**Note: The downtown area of Brisbane has complimentary Wi-fi provided by the city, use this to your advantage!
I spent most of the day at Lonepine and I enjoyed every minute of it. You can walk through the whole sanctuary in a couple of hours but if you participate in the shows and take your time it’s a good day trip. Sometimes just sitting around and watching the animals is worth the hours. Either way, Lonepine closes at 5 so you have plenty of time to get back into Brisbane.

Karatara is a small settlement and forestry station on the Karatara River which flows southwards into Swartvlei. It is situated 5 km west of Barrington and some 40 km northwest of Knysna. It was founded in 1941. The name is of Khoekhoen origin and probably means ‘horse hill’, after a hillock to the north.
The Garden Route Trail Park is nestled at the very foot of the Outeniqua Mountains and the Karatara River Gorge, midway between George and Knysna, in the heart of the Garden Route. It is most enjoyed by mountain bikers and trail runners wanting a secluded stay off the beaten track.

At CES 2019, Acer introduces the thin and light Swift 7 (SF714-52T) with a new premium chassis. An honoree of a CES 2019 Innovation Award, its ultra-narrow bezels make it virtually borderless, giving the Swift 7 a 92 percent screen-to-body ratio. It’s feather-light too, so that traveling professionals who carry a notebook through the day will rejoice at its weight: just two pounds.
Designed for portability, it’s made with magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminum alloys, which also keeps the keyboard sturdy and provides solid support while typing. These materials are two to four times stronger than standard aluminum alloys at the same thickness, yet are up to 20 to 35 percent lighter. Acer also applied a micro-arc oxidation finish to create a surface with an elegant, ceramic-like material.
Powered by the latest 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8500Y processor, it delivers top-notch performance for presentations and spreadsheets, and even when using creator tools. You can store a large amount of files and quickly get to them, with up to 512 GB of fast PCIe SSD storage. With up to 16 GB of LPDDR3 RAM, you can multitask smoothly.

Can Home Insulation be Installed in Cold Weather in Ottawa?
December 04, 2018
In Canadian cities like Ottawa, proper home insulation is imperative – both for energy efficiency and home comfort. If you’re a residential homeowner asking if insulation can be installed in cold weather in Ottawa, the simple answer is YES. The more important thing is to choose the right product and have the work done professionally.
Properly insulating your home is more than just topping up insulation in the attic. Air sealing and high performance insulation deliver benefits that are far-reaching, particularly in frigid parts of the country like Ottawa. The HVAC system will work more efficiently; heating bills (and cooling bills) will be lower; and indoor comfort is enhanced.
Clearly, any insulation upgrades and retrofits are better expedited before the inclement weather arrives. But when professionally managed, home insulation can easily be installed and finished during cold weather. It means that as a homeowner, you don’t have to wait for spring, and with the proper upgrades, the benefits can be immediate.
Spray foam insulation can be installed in cold weather in Ottawa
However, weather conditions can affect the installation of spray foam insulation
If you’re contemplating spray foam insulation as a retrofit, a number of factors should be taken into consideration in winter weather. With a professional installation, you’re assured that every necessary step is taken so that the spray foam installation will deliver performance for years.
With added air moisture during the fall and winter, our professional installers will ensure that all of the settings are optimized so the spray foam will adhere properly and envelope the given space in an effective manner. We leave nothing to chance.
While heavy winds certainly affect exterior applications of spray foam, care must also be taken with interior applications. A professional will ensure manufacturer-recommended applications.
In winter, air temperature and surface temperature can affect a spray foam application. However, there are multiple spray foam products for every season. Our experienced professionals know exactly which product to choose so you only need to focus on getting comfortable in your upgraded home.
Spray foam installations from Great Northern Insulation
With the professionals at Great Northern Insulation, spray foam insulation can be installed in cold weather in Ottawa. We use the spray foam product that’s appropriate for the temperature, and we ensure that fall applications and winter applications follow manufacturer specifications.
Spray foam is a complex product and application, and many homeowners remain misinformed about its attributes and the application process. At GNI, we are considered the insulation and home comfort experts, including spray foam, and our experience encompasses the complexities of cold weather installation.
Whatever the season, our installers use appropriate application techniques to ensure the highest level of insulation performance. We strive for a high standard of installation quality, providing homeowners with the best possible understanding of the benefits of spray foam insulation.
Understanding how insulation works during winter
While home insulation may have originated with home comfort, today it’s about energy efficiency as well. Good insulation makes your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. When performing at peak, insulation also ensures improved energy efficiency throughout the year. This translates into better energy consumption, and thus, lower energy bills for heating and cooling.
The idea behind insulation is to minimize “heat transfer” – to prevent warm indoor heat from escaping (in the winter) and to prevent warm outdoor heat from entering (in the summer). In Canada, where winter and summer weathers can be extreme, having adequate insulation in every part of your home, attic to basement (or crawlspace), is needed for the highest levels of energy efficiency to be reached.
Generally, in residential buildings, insulation is most effective in the attic; the basement and foundation; and the exterior walls. With professional oversight, specific types of insulation are recommended, depending on the needs of the “building envelope” and the homeowner. Great Northern Insulation installs every type of insulation, using the most advanced products and installation techniques.
All types of insulation can be installed in cold weather in Ottawa
If you’re installing home insulation this winter in Ottawa, there are a number of product options to choose from - all depending on the physical needs of your home and your budget. There are also provincial (and sometimes local) rebate programs available, designed to incentivize specific projects.
Spray foam insulation
Spray foam insulation provides the highest performance when compared to other products. This is an ideal application in the attic, basement, and exposed exterior walls. Spray foam seals a space airtight; provides very high R-Value; and acts as a vapour barrier. Post installation, spray foam noticeably improves energy efficiency and provides significant energy savings season after season.
Blown insulation is another option, using either cellulose or fiberglass as the insulator. Cellulose, mineral wool, and fiberglass have similar attributes, excellent R-Values, and long-term performance. Commonly used in the attic cavity and exterior walls, blown insulation is an affordable option and a cost-effective investment. An air barrier and vapour barrier must both be installed.
Mineral wool insulation
Mineral wool insulation has excellent thermal properties and provides long-term performance. Professionally installed, mineral wool also reduces noise and is treated with fire retardant. This product is made of renewable materials, and allows for a cost-effective installation. In the average home, mineral wool insulation is an ideal installation for lofts, attics, as well as exterior walls.
Fibreglass batts are most often installed in an attic cavity and in exterior walls. Fibreglass is non-combustible and sound absorbing. When installed with the proper air barrier and vapour barrier, this product provides excellent insulating performance. For the very best results, professionals will often apply spray foam insulation and install fibreglass batts in a combination install.
Count on Great Northern Insulation for quality products and superior installation
Even at this time of year, insulation can be installed in cold weather in Ottawa. Whatever the upgrades or retrofits, your home will be more comfortable, and more energy efficient. When you work with GNI, we’ll recommend the energy retrofit that will best suit your need - an upgrade that will deliver optimum results for the long term.
With energy upgrades, it pays to have a professional installation. At Great Northern Insulation, we install only quality products, and provide a fully comprehensive approach – one that includes insulation and air sealing. When you choose Great Northern Insulation, satisfaction is assured from start to finish, regardless of the project. | <urn:uuid:d5c7e655-4d7d-4961-8763-286a7b6b5972> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.gni.ca/blog/insulation-cold-weather-ottawa | 2020-07-15T00:44:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657154789.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715003838-20200715033838-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.927265 | 1,356 | [

Robin Chase believes the key to successful marketplaces lies in narrowing the scope and broadening the circle of friends.
– My favorite example of sharing is bed-sharing, says Robin.
From the stage at Cabaret Sauvage in Paris, Robin is telling the vivid story about how she likes to stay at friends’ houses when she travels.
– It is way more fun. I might be lucky to stay in their spare bedroom that used to be their home office. If I am really lucky, I get a double bed. On the other hand, I might be unlucky and get to stay in the teenager’s room. This is really why we have hotels.
Fundamentally, hotels are a form of bed-sharing. Robin did some research into the largest bed-sharing companies in the world and realized that the industry is being dramatically disrupted. While InterContinental Hotels Group, the largest hotel chain in the world, has built 645.000 hotel rooms in 65 years, Airbnb managed to offer the same amount of rooms in its fourth year. Now, carsharing services like Zipcar are trumping the traditional ownership model in the transportation industry. Building new sharing platforms is also becoming easier and easier, thanks to marketplace software tools like Sharetribe.
– When we were building Zipcar, we built everything ourselves. It took me four months just to get money online. Today you can create marketplaces and payment systems in hours. There are just so many ready-made building blocks, so you are able to test ideas much faster and more cheaply.
Choose a very specific geography and be loved there, or choose a very specific, narrow type of product or service and be good there.Click To Tweet
Find your niche
Robin believes success comes from narrowing your field and being successful in that.
– Choose a very specific geography and be loved there, or choose a very specific, narrow type of product or service and be good there. Being successful really relies on network effects, and no one will use your platform if the network of supply and demand is too weak.
So how do you find that niche?
– You know what I am going to say: excess capacity. If you think of the words “excess capacity”, it is fundamentally about sharing, says Robin.
Leveraging excess capacity proved to be an important factor in Zipcar’s success. Before Zipcar, people could only consume cars in expensive ways. They had to either buy one or rent one in 24-hour bundles. Zipcar made it possible to book cars in the neighbourhood in less than twenty seconds and rent them for as little as 30 minutes.
– We allowed people to rent cars by the hour or day, adapted to their own use. We made it as easy to rent a car as it is to use your own car. It was hard work, the right tools, the right time.
The economics were really working in their favor.
– When we look at what has been most successful in the sharing economy, it is our most expensive assets exhibiting idle capacity. Your housing is your most expensive asset; your car is the second.
Make it convenient
Robin believes that we have not made it easy enough to share hard assets.
– When we started Zipcar, people could not believe the cost of renting a car for an hour. They were completely shocked because no one had ever pointed out all the costs of owning a car. Today, we are growing to understand the cost of stuff management and the cost of stuff storage. As we understand and appreciate these costs, they will go on the cost side of the ownership, and people will be willing to share stuff that costs less money.
From Robin’s point of view, it is really about how you can reduce the friction in the transactions.
– Posting an item, sharing it, or finding it—it is not always worth the value you get. If the value is very low, you are not going to spend that effort. There is a lot of stuff that exhibits excess capacity that people wish could be shared but that is not going to be shared.
Does it all come down to convenience?
– It breaks my heart that people place convenience over values, over ethics, over the planet. That is where we need more education. There are good ideas whose time has not come.
It takes more than technology
According to Robin, there are three ways that sharing platforms can make excess capacity accessible to others. First, platforms can slice it—make something that was only available for one person available to others, the way Zipcar does it with cars. Second, they can open up the platform, enabling co-creation of new value. In that manner, Sharetribe paves the way with its source-available platform for all kinds of marketplaces. Third, by enabling the sharing of assets that were individually too small to bother with, platforms like Sharetribe also make excess capacity accessible through aggregation.
Although the technology is there, Robin believes that you cannot share anything anywhere.
– I think Sharetribe is a platform that is going to make it easier for people to share things. Obviously, it takes more than technology to make a marketplace successful, but it is definitely one piece of the puzzle.
Even though platforms breathe life into excess capacity, a substantial investment of time, skill, and money is needed to make it all work.
– Building a company requires many different skills. If you are an introverted person that does not have a network, you can be good at some other aspects. But you need to find a partner who is good at networking. When I founded Zipcar, I thought I hated selling. But because I loved the product and the company, selling was nothing. It was all because I believed in it, Robin recalls.
Involve your members
In order to build your product, Robin advises aspiring entrepreneurs to involve the members of their community from an early stage.
– One of the most valuable lessons I learned from co-founding Zipcar is listening to your customers and relying on them to help you build the product or service. We worked hard to incorporate our customers and really thought of them as collaborators from the early start. When we launched Zipcar in 2000, we threw a lot of parties and sent out emails that people actually read. We did surveys and asked our members for advice. I made my customers feel and believe that we were listening to them.
At the beginning of any entrepreneurship, you are asking friends to do things for free. According to Robin, it is all about broadening that circle of friends. To scale your business, you need to build something great and make people talk about it.
– Companies grow as fast as they can grow, and they are always wishing they could grow faster. That is the problem every day in every company. If you think about how you consume things, a good part of what you consume is based on friends’ opinions. So doing a good job and making it easy for people to talk about it, or want to talk about it, that is how you market. It is an endless question.
Stay in control – avoid investor money in the beginning
According to Robin, there are three options for financing the establishment of peer-to-peer marketplaces: public financing, private investment financing, and crowdfunding. Every option has different implications for the distribution of power and value between the engaged peers.
– It is the people that finance the platforms that make the rules. That is why all entrepreneurs try to go as far as they can without taking anyone else’s money. That is universally true. Once you start taking someone else’s money, they start telling you how to run your company. In the beginning, you think it is not that much, but then it becomes more money and suddenly it becomes a lot. It feels impossible.
Would crowdfunding be a better option?
– Crowdfunding works, but I don’t think we are very good at it yet. It is still you finding your community to give you money. Although the crowdsourcing sites are doing the payment mechanisms and gathering the e-mails, the effort and the people who come are still all you and your connections.
Robin believes there is improvement to be done in this field.
– Crowdfunding is still poorly appreciated and a hard road. People need to become more educated consumers and think of every dollar they spend as a vote for the world they want to live in – also when it comes to investments. | <urn:uuid:da954d6d-1ddb-49be-a145-f99f110f8054> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.sharetribe.com/academy/how-to-find-the-next-big-marketplace-idea-an-interview-with-robin-chase/ | 2020-07-03T20:06:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655882934.6/warc/CC-MAIN-20200703184459-20200703214459-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.974499 | 1,750 | [

When it comes to designing work clothing, Blauer has dedicated nearly 80 years listening to the feedback from firemen and emergency responders who put their lives on the line everyday; selling a wide selection of durable, versatile, attractive gear from top quality fabrics to men and women of all sizes worldwide.
We understand that firemen often face hazardous situations in all types of weather, that will put extra wear and tear on their clothing over time. Fireman t-shirts designed by Blauer are breathable-allowing them to be worn underneath layers of protective gear without being bulky, restrictive or hot. Since firemen play a very important role in the public safety sector, their T shirts are not only designed with several technical details, but also look very professional. This not only reflects a positive image of their station and squad team, but also gains the respect of many within their communities.
We are just as consistent with our design of EMT uniform pants to ensure that paramedics and other first responders are protected while working on their shift. Using premium fabrics along with the latest technology, we are proud to introduce work pants that come with several essential additions-setting them apart from traditional uniform pants.
Because EMT and first responders frequently come into contact with biohazardous fluids, such as blood or toxic chemicals, our EMT pants are specifically treated with a fabric finish that prevents liquids from making contact with the rescue worker’s skin. The pants’ material is made from a cotton blend that is durable enough to resist rips or tears, and comes with optional removable knee patches for protection and comfort. The side pockets on the pants are made from a reflective fabric for EMT workers who respond to emergency calls at night; and now feature thigh let outs for those who need a little more extra room, as well as a hidden compartment found within the right pocket.
The pants are permanently creased and have a comfortable, stretchable waistband to keep shirts snugly in place. Our line of T shirts and pants manufactured for all emergency rescue workers are designed under stringent guidelines and specifications. Due to their durability and comfortable fit, many in the public safety sector only buy their work clothing at Blauer.com!

In the past, a normal person might not know where to start looking, when they are thinking of purchasing military gear, which they will need in times of danger. This is due to the fact that not many stores carry items that are made for the men and woman serving to protect our country. While most stores only carry certain items, finding the right type of military gear to purchase is something that takes a very long time, and money to do. This is no longer the case, as the internet has made purchasing these kinds of equipment easy and fast for anyone.
You might wonder, why anyone would have the need to purchase military gear, but when you visit Armed Forces Merchandise Outlet to view military assault gear, which you can purchase. You will be surprised to find that these items will actually make your life easier. The term assault gear is misleading, as any item that safeguards and protects the wearer can be considered assault gear. The ability to fight is the key to survivable, and giving the person wearing these gears every advantage in fighting is the main goal of this assault equipment.
For more info on this subject, when you buy combat boots, take a look at the amount of work and research that has been done just to produce these boots. Everything from comfort, design, durability and even the color has been taken into consideration to give you a product that will stand up to any test. Everything that a soldier wears has been proven to work, and in normal everyday usage these equipment will be able to outperform the most expensive brands. You will not have to worry about this equipment breaking down, as they require little to no maintenance, but to keep them looking brand new, a simple wash is all that is needed to give them the care they deserve.
Instead of wasting money on expensive brands, which might only last as long as they are in fashion. Think about getting military gear that will last a lifetime, another advantage that you will have is that the style they come in never goes out of fashion, and can be worn by anyone in the family as well. Passing on a pair of boots down to your kids might be something, which is worth more in value than the cost of the boots. | <urn:uuid:8e4d72e1-66a2-4c24-aab1-a26f1a61da71> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.momwritesforacause.com/2012/12/ | 2020-07-05T17:35:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887377.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705152852-20200705182852-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.97294 | 1,276 | [

El Niño has finally arrived in Southern California. This month was filled with rain, thunderstorms, and tornado watches. This stormy season is expected to last well into March, so we have some time before the weather calms down. As you know, most of our dogs fear the howling winds, plummeting barometric pressures, and of course, the loud rumbling of thunder. Many times, we try to comfort our dogs with no avail. Dogs can not only damage your home when they’re scared, but can injure themselves. Here are some ways in which you can help comfort your dog during a thunderstorm.
1. START YOUNG
Just because your dogs doesn’t take any drastic measures when they are afraid, doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering. It’s best to act when your dogs are young, or when they experience their first thunderstorm. “Storm phobia” is considered a progressive disease and can worsen with time.
2. COMFORT YOUR DOG WITH TREATS AND CUDDLES
Start when your pup is young. When there is excessively loud thunder, cuddle you dog and give him or her treats. Associating thunder with cuddles and love will help fight storm phobia.
3. LET THEM HIDE IN THEIR CRATE
Make their crate into a cave by covering it with towels or blankets. Hiding in a cavelike structure will ease the dog’s fear, giving them a sense of safety. Crate training them as a puppy will help them when they are older. Their crate becomes a safe place for them, helping them psychologically. Even if you didn’t crate train them as a puppy, it’s never too late to give it a try.
4. MASK THE NOISE
The loud noise is what is scaring your dog. You should put them in a room that is centrally located away from the outside. A big closet or a bathroom works perfectly. Also, mask the noise with music or a noise machine. Anything that will distract the dogs from the thunder will help.
5. DESENSITIZE THEM
You can desensitize your dog to thunder by playing thunder sound CDs or MP3s. Start off at a low volume so your dog can get use to the sound. Comfort them throughout the process with pets and affirmation. Slowly increase the volume as you’re comforting him.
6. ASK YOUR VETERINARIAN ABOUT DRUGS
It’s best to keep your dog off drugs, but if he’s having a hard time with the weather, it’s better to have relaxants than stress. All dogs are different and some may never feel comfortable during a thunderstorm. Your vet will know which drugs are best to help your dog relax during the next storm.
7. NATURAL THERAPIES
If you’re not comfortable giving your dogs drugs try a more natural approach. You can start by giving your dog chamomile tea. To get your dog to drink the tea, place a piece of meat in their bowl and pour the tea over the top. Your dog will then drink the tea to get to the meat, but be careful the tea is not too hot. You can also try lavender oil, bach flower extract (Rescue Remedy) or dog appeasing pheromones. | <urn:uuid:0be84ed0-7139-490c-9df1-6984546c5031> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.petsitpros.com/blog/2016/01/ | 2020-07-05T17:18:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887377.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705152852-20200705182852-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.947559 | 707 | [

We all know of the unexpected young death of someone whether it is a family member or friend. The tragedy of losing a friend or loved one is made worse if the loss of income the person provided his or her family has not been planned for.
While the overall rates charged by life insurance companies have been coming down through the last several years, surprisingly the amount of people covered by life insurance has decreased. The recession has taken a toll on many, as both individuals having less money to go around and employer-provided coverage declining due to cuts in employee benefit packages according to a study produced by Swiss Re Group.
In 2010, families whose primary breadwinner was under the age of 55 had $32 – in net assets and life insurance in place – for every $100 of protection needed, which is down from $46 in 2001, according to the same data from The Swiss Re Group.
However, all of us should think about this unlikely event. What would the family do if the person generating the income for the family died? What would the family do for income? The shortfall needs to be covered by life insurance or a plan needs to be in place to generate the missing income. Generally, we start by determining the yearly income needed – less any benefits or additional sources of income that will be received or generated.
As a ballpark figure, a million dollars in life insurance proceeds can be invested to provide approximately $45,000 in annual income. So what is your shortfall, if any? I know many who think the $250,000 life policy will provide coverage falling to realize that this sum would only provide approximately $11,000 a year in income.
The need for this insurance is generally for a limited time period, such as, until the children are through school. With the limited time period, term insurance is likely the best and most affordable coverage. The “term” or length of coverage can be 10 years, 20 years, or longer depending on the need for coverage and the health of the insured.
The time to explore coverage is always while you are young and health as the rates charged on underwritten to your health. The increased longevity of Americans has allowed more persons to be eligible even at older ages.
So what is your plan for mortality protection? Is someone relying on your income to support their lives? How will they provide this income if you were to die prematurely? It is easier and less expensive than you think to provide this coverage either at work or with an individual policy. Because unlike the game of “Life”, you do not get a re-do on failing to plan for this eventually. | <urn:uuid:e2cbce07-071f-46ee-9a41-9f216eb17b1a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.rootsofwealth.com/the-essential-benefit-of-life-insurance | 2020-07-05T17:24:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655887377.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20200705152852-20200705182852-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.978829 | 533 | [

All 20 screens of Matthew Smith‘s ground-breaking 1983 ZX Spectrum platform game, Manic Miner!
Smith created an almost pixel perfect game, which often requires pixel perfect jumping to complete. You play as Miner Willy, a characterful little feller, trying to make his way through twenty increasingly difficult screens, each with their own name and style.
Many retro gaming fans see Manic Miner as one of the best platform games of all time, and I wouldn’t argue with that. It was definitely one of the first ever video games to feature a continuous soundtrack, which was remarkable considering that the ZX Spectrum was not known for its sound capabilities.
Manic Miner was first published by Bug-Byte, and later re-released by Software Projects. It also spawned a famous sequel too – Jet Set Willy – although more about that later. In fact, Manic Miner was so successful that it was also converted to many other home video game systems as well, including the BBC Model B, Amstrad CPC, MSX and Commodore 64 (among others). The Spectrum version is still the best though, in my opinion.
