How long bankruptcy takes depends on a lot of factors, including which chapter you file. In a chapter 13 bankruptcy you will usually re-pay as much debt as you can in a 3 to 5-year period. This article will discuss how long an individual or joint Chapter 7 bankruptcy takes.
Protection from Day One
I like to say bankruptcy takes one day and it takes three months. Your protection from creditors begins the day you file bankruptcy. You are under the bankruptcy protection from day one. Approximately 30 days after filing you will meet with the trustee assigned to your case. At that hearing, the trustee will verify your identity and social security number. You will have to attest under oath that the information provided on the schedules and statements filed with the court is true and accurate. If the trustee has any additional questions he will ask them at this time.
Approximately 60 days after the trustee meeting, also known as 341 hearing, your discharge will enter. This has the effect of making the protection you received on day one permanent, so the discharged creditors will never be allowed to collect on the debts listed. Within a month or so after discharge, the case will be closed if there are no open issues. There are reasons a bankruptcy case may stay open longer than the time frame set forth above. The case can stay open even after you receive your discharge, but you are still protected from the creditors.
Can Bankruptcy Take Longer than 3 Months
A qualified bankruptcy attorney should be able to discuss the possibility of a case taking longer than 3 to 4 months. The attorneys at Bellenot and Boufford LLC work with their clients to protect all assets when possible and to make their clients aware of any potential risks. Most of our clients never lose any property. If there is a potential that a client might lose property, we will discuss non-bankruptcy alternatives and all other options.

Eight thousand bright and needy students from Gem constituency will benefit from a multi-million shilling bursary scheme from the area National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF).
Gem MP Elisha Ochieng Odhiambo said that among the beneficiaries were the best five students per ward and top five girls in each of the wards.
Speaking at Horace Ongili secondary school in his constituency when he presided over the disbursement of Sh17 million to needy students Thursday, Odhiambo said that the bursary will benefit secondary schools, colleges and universities’ students.
The MP called on the parents and guardians who are unable to fund the cost of education of their children not to deny such children opportunities to acquire knowledge as the bursary, funded by the national government was available.
“Parents should not lock the children at home because of lack of fees. Come to my office,” he said.
He expressed his commitment to ensuring that Gem constituency reclaimed its position as the citadel of education in the region.
Odhiambo urged parents and education stakeholders to support government’s efforts to achieve universal access to education by ensuring that all the children go to school.

Beige carpet, a child's wooden table, and a vase of flowers. What's there now.
What was there: Play-Doh on beige carpet. Play-Doh on a child's wooden table. And Play-Doh on Play-Doh.
For two years John ate pureed spaghetti with pureed meat sauce. It was the only dinner food he would accept after he rejected his former, varied purees. He wouldn't eat any other pasta sauce, or eat unpureed pasta, or play with pasta. Finally this winter he played with wagon-wheel pasta; he was comfortable and even happy with whole pasta when it remained safely in its sealed box, the kind with the fascinating plastic window. When increasingly rough box-play eventually led to just a few pieces of dry pasta falling out of a crack for controlled exploration. And last week he progressed to a cookie sheet full of cooked angel hair pasta. He wasn't ready to eat it, but he was ready to drive Lightning McQueen in it.
I let him sit at the little table that stays on the carpet; it's trouble to move it, and the kitchen would be too small for it anyway. At first the pasta looked so stationary, stable, and tidy on its cookie sheet. But I was encouraging John to drive Lightning McQueen on the pasta to see how it would break into pieces (this is a sneaky way to get John to see how someday his own teeth will break up the cooked pasta).
Hours later most of the pasta was dried in bits all over the place. I cleaned it up, over a few days during which I learned that dried angel hair pasta infiltrates beige carpet with impossible cleverness.
This weekend it was Play-Doh. It started innocently at the same child's table, sans cookie sheet. The new dough coming out of the containers. Lightning McQueen, all cleaned up after his pasta adventure. John talking on and on about what he was doing, and over an hour making a gorgeous dark purple mountain by mixing, with dedication, the cylinders of Play-doh until there was no memory of the original four colors except in tiny fragments scattered on the carpet.
He was calm, engaged, and fully satisfied in working with his hands.
Time passed. We had to go somewhere. The Play-Doh was everywhere. I put the purple mountain in a container to save and left the surrounding doughscape to dry. A butter knife was going to be needed later.
I can do spaghetti and purple dough. There is so much I can't do. So much I can't make happen, can't explain, can't fix. Can't hold in my understanding. The day after Play-Doh day, it happened that I was experiencing all those can'ts. I was overwhelmed.
By accident I came across this and began watching, listening, following. Within about 20 minutes it all began to be okay again. Much more okay.
Later I saw: I could offer the Play-Doh, encourage the mess, be there to watch over John, and clean it up. I could span that; it was small enough.
The rest of everything, the can'ts - they are too big for me to span. But in doing that little bit of meditation I remembered that there is a place where I don't have to be able to span them. There is good in being there next to them, whether they are close or far, pushing hard on me or too elusive. It is possible, sometimes, to just be with what is there. And it works.
Later, I cleaned the Play-Doh gratefully.
Now that this piece has sat written for a couple of days, the flowers have died and are ready to be cleared away. For a short time at least, there will be an empty child's wooden table. Something else will be on it soon. And there will be more huge things I can't understand. They will overwhelm me again, probably, and there is no use pretending that I am large enough for them, but after all this, I am upright and ready, just in this one moment. | <urn:uuid:a47c73c8-a82d-4d74-a3dd-1df400fe3b7f> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.hopefulparents.org/2010/05/play-doh-flowers-and-equilibrium.html | 2020-07-13T05:50:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657142589.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713033803-20200713063803-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.979978 | 854 | [

which was a self-playing attachment for reed organs using folded paper m
invented by a Mr Warren. Presumably the effect was similar to a pianola.
The company was in business from 1864-1928, which would

Artists, myself included often refer to myth, history, archaeology or religion when depicting imagery as a way to include several layers of meaning with everyday subject matter. Messages can be conveyed through obvious symbols or by disguised symbolism for example the Demeter and Persephone myth can provide an allegory for narratives and images depicting mothers and daughters.
The well-known story about a mother (Demeter) and daughter (Persephone) relationship described as a tragic and cruel rape, abduction and kidnapping of a child from her mother is often referred to as an allegory for spring in the patriarchal culture of Ancient Greece.
I referred to aspects of the Demeter and Persephone myth but re-visioned it by tracing some of the symbols back to their original location in earlier rituals as a way to re-vision the disempowerment of women in this rape and kidnap cautionary tale. Often symbols remain but the story told about them changes. Their Minoan-like origin can be seen in an excavation by S. and N. Marinatos at Akrotiri in Thera. So I retained several aspects not in their narrative form but in a type of disguised symbolism. In that way I could depict through a double portrait my understanding and formation of a daughter’s identity by referring to this allegory about renewal and transition.
Briefly I referred to frescos that depicted a narrative ritual where women protagonists descend into an adyton (holy of holies) depicted within the architecture of the Thera excavation. The frescos make reference to the underworld, vegetation, growth and the cycle of nature as does the rape of Persephone and abduction to the underworld by her uncle Hades.
The sketches and Theran frescos below illustrate part of the ritual activity at Akrotiri (destroyed in 1500 B.C.) in Thera (Santorini).
The shaved head of a young girl painted on this fresco suggests that she may be engaging in an initiation ritual.
The sketch depicts a girl with a bleeding foot and a crocus. All heads turned to the blood on the altar.
I extrapolated imagery from elements of this symbolism as a way to create abstracted backgrounds that refer to blood and the dark atmosphere of an underworld ritual where in my imagination often unconscious and inarticulate emotions rise between a mother and daughter. This is a privatised world not a public and sacred ritual however I avoid direct reference to the rape and violence of Greek myth.
I also used this narrative of underground ritual as an allegory about vision, insight and inspiration.

SEC Relaxes Federal Proxy Rules for Annual Meetings
MARCH 24, 2020
The Securities and Exchange Commission recently issued an order granting certain companies relief from complying with some federal proxy rules for annual meetings in light of health, transportation and other logistical issues raised by the spread of COVID-19.
Under Section 12 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, when issuers solicit proxies from their shareholders, they are required to follow the proxy rules, including delivery of proxy materials (e.g., proxy statements and proxy cards). The SEC’s order allows all issuers to change the date, time and location of their annual meetings without having to strictly comply with applicable delivery requirements.
Michelman & Robinson explains in question and answer form.
Q. Our publicly reporting company is scheduled to hold its annual meeting and we need to change the date, time or location, how do I get the word out to shareholders?
A. Normally, publicly reporting companies would be required to file any changes to their annual meeting schedule with the SEC and adhere to certain mail delivery requirements. Now, however, as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, many companies need to either change the date and time of previously scheduled annual meetings, or change the format from on-site to virtual attendance only. The SEC has responded by setting forth modified guidance on how issuers can amend their proxy materials.
Going forward, an issuer wanting to take advantage of the SEC’s relaxed rules should take the following actions:
- Issue a press release announcing the coronavirus-related change in schedule or meeting logistics
- File the announcement as a definitive additional soliciting material on EDGAR
- Take all reasonable steps necessary to inform other intermediaries and other relevant market participants, including the proxy service provider and the issuer’s national securities exchange, of the announced change
Q. Can all publicly reporting companies take advantage of the SEC’s guidance on virtual meetings?
A. Before utilizing the SEC’s virtual meeting guidance, issuers need to review applicable state law, as well as their bylaws, to make sure that virtual meetings are permissible pursuant to governing rules. For example, virtual meetings are permissible under Delaware, Tennessee and Maryland law; however, Georgia and South Carolina allow for in-person meetings only. Certain states, such as New York and North Carolina, allow for hybrid meetings (where some are present in person and others participate remotely), while California requires prior shareholder consent in order to hold an annual meeting virtually. As such, a careful review of state law is necessary prior to determining whether your company can legally hold a virtual annual meeting, which review should include consideration of any current guidance that might allow leeway for holding virtual meetings in light of the pandemic.
Q. When do I need to take the above action?
A. The short answer is as soon as possible. After a company’s board of directors and management have determined to change the date, time or location of a previously scheduled annual meeting, the company should promptly disclose that information by way of a press release and by filing the definitive additional solicitation material on EDGAR. In the event an issuer has not yet filed a proxy statement with the SEC, it should consider including a disclosure that, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the issuer may need to change the date and/or location of its annual meeting and that any such disclosure will be made by issuing a press release and by EDGAR filing only, so that any market participants will be alerted to check for such information. Given the current landscape, it may be advisable to assume that any shareholder meeting scheduled for the near term should be held by virtual means only, unless planned for some months in the future. The SEC has advised that each issuer should individually evaluate its situation and determine its disclosure requirements in light of such circumstances.
Q. My company usually holds its annual meeting telephonically, as well as having management meet in person. What is the difference in having a virtual meeting as opposed to a combined telephonic and in-person meeting?
A. There is no substantial difference, aside from all participants in the meeting participating virtually by using Zoom or similar technology. Most importantly, when deciding to hold a virtual meeting, the issuer must provide the means for all shareholders to participate—including the opportunity for shareholders to ask questions—just as they would be allowed to do in person or during a meeting held telephonically. The takeaway: your company should ensure that it uses technology that will facilitate full shareholder participation.
Q. What companies will most likely be impacted by the SEC’s order?
A. Due to ongoing “shelter-in-place” and “stay-at-home” orders that are in effect for much of the country, the SEC guidance is likely to affect any companies that (1) have already filed their proxy materials with the SEC or (2) plan to hold their annual meetings over the next few months.
As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves over the next few weeks, it is likely that guidance coming from the SEC will as well. The corporate and securities professionals at M&R will continue to monitor the agency and report on any additional orders or extensions of significance.
We are working diligently to keep our clients up to date on coronavirus-related developments.

MOONLIGHT & MAGNOLIAS
by Ron Hutchinson
Directed by Karen Stevens
Audition and Performance: Dates to be determined
Hollywood, 1939: semi-independent mogul David O. Selznick has just shut down production on the most eagerly anticipated movie in history – his megabudget version of Margaret Mitchell’s bestselling novel Gone With The Wind – scrapping the original script and sacking the director in the progress. Determined to produce a rewrite in five days, he engages the reluctant services of ace script doctor Ben Hecht – possibly the only person in America who has not read the novel – and the movie’s new director Victor Fleming, poached straight from the set of The Wizard of Oz, where he had been squabbling with the Munchkins and coming to blows with Judy Garland. His reputation on the line, and with nothing but a stockpile of peanuts and bananas to sustain them, Selznick locks himself in his office with his two collaborators, and a marathon creative session begins. Roles for 3 men & 1 woman. | <urn:uuid:818feb05-09a2-4360-b947-7187597c1c9e> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://arts.mannagraphics.org/2020/09/01/spring-2021-moonlight-magnolias/ | 2021-10-16T00:18:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583087.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20211015222918-20211016012918-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.938148 | 218 | [

The highly disputed machine guns, recently acquired from Norway, only to be returned, will be replaced with weaponry from elsewhere, says the National Comissioner of the Icelandic Police (NCIP). This was reported today, Wednesday.
In a response to inquiries made by RÚV, NCIP said that estimates made within the police, have shown that their need for weapons has increased in recent years. New weapons will be acquired, this time with the direct involvement of the Ministry of the Interior.
The MP5 machine guns from Norway are to be returned because of disputes between the two countries as two whether they were received as a gift or purchased by the Icelandic Coast Guard. Whereas Icelandic police authorities have contended that the guns were given to them, and any invoices were a matter of ceremony or etiquette, Norway has insisted that the invoices are meant as such, and that they expect payment. The Police had not been authorized to make such a purchase, and so the shipment will be returned.
Chief superintendent Jón Bjartmarz responded to RÚV’s inquiries, on behalf of NCIP. He claims that the Civil Protection unit, the National Security unit and the Special Forces have all analysed the risks involved in police forces’ current abilities to deal with incidents involving weapons. In all of those cases, he says, the capabilities have been deemed insufficient and “unjustifiable”.
Jón also cited a poll conducted within the police in 2012, which revealed that 70% of officers considered their weapons training to be unsatisfactory and 83.5% wanted police cars to be “equipped with weapons”, presumably guns.
Meanwhile, the Icelandic Police’ Instagram account, remains active, humorously portraying officers in relation to children, pets, natural phenomena and ice-cream.

This is IT! The FINALE, my friends! Time to see if we can mashup with the Volm and kick a little Espheni ass up in here.
Weaver, Lyle, Anthony and Pope are driving a train to Chicago. This is not a euphemism, much to Anthony’s dismay. They are heading to Chi-Town to be a decoy while the real action happens in Boston. Pope talks about the merits of deep dish pizza over thin crust, and I have to say, this is just another issue Pope is on the wrong side of. They brought Lourdes with them as bait, and I’ll tell you—adorable Lourdes? Not so much any more. Eye worms are not a good thing for your beauty ritual, apparently.
Doctor Kadar is geeking out over the Volm weapon, to Cochise’s bemusement. At least I think Cochise is bemused. It’s hard to tell since his face looks like a Grumpy Cat that’s been microwaved. You know—in a cute way. Anyway, everything looks almost good to go, says Kadar. When Tom questions the “almost” part of the equation, Kadar says that there is a 94% probability it will function as expected. Kadar is a pessimist. I enjoy that about him. Cochise assures Tom that the Volm ship will meet them in Boston, and then he and Tom totally bromance out.
Hal is cheerful. He talks to NotKaren about how the war will end and they can settle down in a house with a big backyard. She looks unimpressed, and says she is a fighter, not a lover. Also? Her hair is super shiny. I wonder where one gets deep conditioner in the alien apocalypse.
Lourdes has gone full on Exorcist, growling and rolling her eyes and all. It would be sexy, except she really looks like she needs a shower. Lyle and Anthony look forward to following Weaver’s order to shoot anything that moves that happens to be an alien. They are set upon by Fishheads and Skitters and Lourdes gasps like she swallowed her tongue. Weaver says it’s been an honor and a privilege, and the boys should give ‘em hell. Pope looks particularly badass as he leans out of the train to blast them with a Volm weapon, shouting, “SMILE, you SON OF A BITCH!” And all of a sudden I can forgive him for the pizza thing.
The rest of our crew ride a huge shipping boat into Boston harbor, loaded not with tea but with the huge Volm weapon. Wee Matt dons his shades and looks up at the grid, which was totally stolen from Tron. Jeeeeeeaaaaaannnnne Weaver is there too, (yay!) and says the place looks like a ghost town. That must mean NotMaggie and the aliens totally got fished in in Chicago. Tom assures Jeanne that Weaver is made out of cast iron and that he will be fine.
Kadar and Cochise fire on the tower, and it is TOTALLY WICKED! The Volm weapon sucks the grid right out of the sky and converts the energy to a missile-like blast that smashes into one of the tower legs. But then, we suffer from blastus-interruptus, because the tower doesn’t collapse. Bummer. Tom wants them to fire again, but they need ten minutes to recharge. And then? The Espheni come and everyone fires on them and it is fairly awesome to watch. Wee Matt (Did I mention his hair is growing out and looks less unfortunate? It does.) points to the tower and everyone watches it finally collapse. The grid goes down. Then there is much rejoicing, even though America just pretty much lost one of the coolest cities it ever had. The Volm ship comes in a fireball of a blast, and lands on Boston, and the “pretty much lost” becomes “totally frickin’ lost.” The good news? It may not look like Boston anymore, but it does look like a “Boston” album cover. (We miss you, Brad Delp.)
Suddenly? We are on Endor without the Ewoks. There is night, and fire and weird drumming and I hope the ghosts of Dai, Jamal and Pointy McOverlord are coming soon to beam contentedly at the crowd. Alas, they do not. There is only a weird celebration that Tom doesn’t participate in because he is too wrapped up in his loss of RoboDoc and AlienBaby. Ben tries to talk to him in the strategy tent, telling him that the rebel skitters have, well, scattered since they do not trust the Volm. Tom thinks he can reunite them, and it will feel so good. Ben and Tom bond, and I remember that Ben is easily my favorite Mason.
Cheers erupt outside, and Tom and Ben go to see what’s doing. It’s the Chicago rebels! They made it back home! Weaver and Jeanne hug and smile, and it is pretty touching. Apparently, they were trapped, but Cochise and his soldiers bailed them out. Awww. That was nice. Cochise looks….happy? I guess? He lets Tom know that he will meet his commander in the morning. Weaver tells Tom Lourdes is a mess, and that Karen’s probably still tracking her. Tom hopes so, ‘cause he wants to cap that ass. Do you see what I did there?
Also? Apparently? The Espheni are on the run, which makes everyone happy. Tom demands to speak (ugh) opening with “I make too many speeches. Give too many lectures. I want to make a toast.” WORD, TOM! Then he proceeds to make a speechy toast. At least it is reasonably short. Pope salutes the fishheads. Crickets. Until he adds, “May they freeze their asses off in the North Pole.” CHEERS! Weaver is next, accepting a bottle from Pope. “To victory. May it be swift. May it be complete. And may it be forever.” Weaver is CLEARLY the Braveheart of this group.
Cochise brings Tom to see the commander, Washchak-cha’ab, and I finally realize who the Volm sound like when they speak English: Worf, from “Star Trek: The Next Generation.” When they speak Volm they sound different: like an old man gagging on soup. Anyway, there is much politeness and complimenting all around. Weaver even tries to do the Volm salute-thing and bombs it adorably. Tom talks to him, hoping there is partnership, and thanking them for their support. Washchak-cha’ab thanks Tom for the victory and for the life of his son. He’s Cochise’s dad! I saw the resemblance. (Hahaha!) The only sticky wicket in this whole love-fest? The Volm don’t want to fight with the 2nd Mass. They want to send them to Brazil to chill out while they finish the war. This pisses Tom and Weaver off to no end. Tom tries to protest but Cochise’s daddy ain’t having it. He turns to leave and Tom reaches out to grab him. He clocks Tom and puts him in custody to Weaver’s dismay.
The next morning, Lyle is cutting his toenails in public, next to Pope’s coffee pot (again, none of this is a euphemism. Also? GROSS!) There is a very cute moment where Lyle details his strategy: (Find fishheads. Kill ‘em. End of story.) and Pope tells him that if Napoleon had had him at his side in Russia, things would have gone a lot better for him. “Thanks,” says Lyle, sweetly. Weaver appears and tells everyone about the relocation plan, and how they need to leave before they are rounded up like cattle. Pope gives a righteous “I told you so!” and Weaver blows him off. Weaver steps into the strategy tent and proceeds to have what looks like a mild heart attack. Oh, noes! Jeanne comes in and helps him with his nitroglycerine, promising to not tell anyone, not even Tom, that Weaver is sick and weak. Awww. Not good. Jeanne wants to go to Brazil, but Weaver says he will not go to that “concentration camp” and I think this is a remarkably unfair comparison. The Volm want them to live in “comfort, safety and peace.” Not so much starvation, torture and painful death, then. Jeanne is reluctantly talked into it.
When they emerge from the tent, Cochise and his men are there to round them up. Cochise tries to talk everyone down, looking awk-ward. I think. Weaver realizes they are literally outgunned. Cochise looks sad as he begs Weaver to cooperate. Or neutral. Or something. Seriously, they always look like they are frowning. Anyway? Pope rams that “I told you so” home by snarking at poor Weaver about how the Volm have brought them to their knees.
Washchak-cha’ab meets with the incarcerated Tom. They talk and talk and talk about the American spirit and how humans would rather die than not fight and how the Volm just don’t get it and blah, blah, blah. AMERICA! Washchak-cha’ab frowns. I think. He seems like he can be persuaded to let them fight, even if it is just to get Tom to shut up. He tells Tom that humans make him question protocol and orders and he finds this disturbing and disorienting. Apparently, Cochise has told Tom: he has that effect on people. Washchak-cha’ab says he will consider the matter.
Hal goes to visit Lourdes, who is looking more like Regan from The Exorcist every minute. He tries to talk to her calmly, but she screams like a banshee and scares the crap out of me. She begs Hal to take her iBugs out, and then Hal gets her to reminisce about olde times. Weird. Hal gets close to Lourdes and I keep yelling at the TV, “DON’T GET RE-INFECTED YOU MORON!” All for naught, though, as he leaves unscathed. Maggie offers to put Lourdes to sleep. That’s generous of her.
Cochise comes to get everyone and tells them Tom will be joining them soon. He leads them out of their tent city to a…wait for it…big table full of weapons! They are being re-armed and told, basically, “Have fun storming the castle!” Cochise spots Tom a Volm weapon and wishes him well. They have a moment, but they don’t kiss, which is a bummer. After they take their guns and go, Cochise and his dad shake their heads like Miracle Max and his wife in The Princess Bride and you can just tell they are thinking, “Think it’ll work?” “It’ll take a miracle.” “Bye bye!”
(sing to the Willie Nelson tune) “On the road again! We might get killed out on the road again! And I still can’t tell little Maggie from Karen. I can’t wait to get on the road again!” My husband wanders into the room and asks if it is always blue on this show, and looking at the millionth twilight shot I have to concede that it is. Maggie is happy that she can stay a soldier and Hal is not amused. Pope agrees with Maggie, saying the quiet desperation of the suburbs makes global apocalypse look good. I have to agree with him there. Kadar muses about the ticks as they walk, telling them about lime disease like a Debbie Downer, which amuses me. My husband thinks Kadar sounds like Karl Urban as Bones in the Star Trek reboot, which both amuses me and turns me on.
“WAIT!” Ben shouts, and Lourdes gags and collapses, convulsing. A ship comes in, loaded with skitters and mechs and Karen. Tom is pleased that Karen took the bait. She comes out wielding her white flag of old, which looks like it’s been laundered, at least. She tries to talk to them and make nice, dissing the Volm and talking about how they will eventually work together. She offers Tom a gift, which we all know is RoboDoc and AlienBaby. He calmly offers her a gift too. AND THEN HE SHOOTS HER RIGHT IN THE CHEST! YEAH, BABY! Then it all goes down and our rebels kill everyone in sight. Karen is dying, saying she is sorry and that all she ever wanted was Hal, and he goes to hold her hand and comfort her. And then? AND THEN? Maggie shoots Karen dead, with the coldest bitch eyes you ever saw. GO MAGGIE!
Tom hears Robo in the woods and chases after her voice. Apparently she is fine, and of course Lexie is fine too. One catch? Lexie happens to be about six years old now. See? I told you! BREAKING DAWN BABY! You heard it here first. Also? She is still super creepy.
The next morning, our happy band of rebels are regrouping. Hal tries to talk to Maggie but she’s pissed at him for making doe eyes at her doppleganger the night before. He tries to help her with some work and she insists she can do it on her own. Hint hint. You better put a ring on it or something, Hal. You’re in the skitterhouse for sure. Pope tries to restart a classic car, ‘cause he still wants style points. Kadar and Tom discuss Miracle-Gro—I mean Lexie—and basically Kadar says he knew her accelerated growth was a possibility but he has no idea what will happen now.
Anthony asks where they are all going now, and Tom and Weaver tell him the long plan that they had to make once they found out the show was renewed. First they’re heading to Charleston, then to find Hathaway’s people. Then to form a resistance movement. “A HUMAN resistance movement,” growls Weaver. Racists. Weaver and Tom walk away, and Weaver muses that it feels like old times. Tom can’t resist quoting a poet, like a douche. “Miles to go, Dan. Miles to go,” he says, somberly.
Alexis approaches the caged Lourdes with her creepy smile. She reaches out, and Lourdes gags, and the iBugs come pouring out of her eyes. Ugh. “Alexis?” calls Tom, in dread. And Breaking Dawn looks at her daddy calmly, smiling like a Shining twin, and crushes the iBugs in her hand, pouring the sand of their remains onto the ground. Tom looks back at her like he can’t decide if he should thank her or kill her with fire, and we cut to black, putting the wrap on season three.
All in all? I found the finale very satisfying. How about you? Let us know your thoughts on season three and what you hope for in season four. Besides Tec and Dai oiled up for a wrestling match, that is. See you next summer!

Think back to high school science for a moment. Remember how we were taught that sound waves were invisible and could only be heard and felt? The humble audiometer offers a simple way for video producers to visualize audio volume as they record and post their projects. But what if I told you there are ways to look deeper into the content of your soundtrack? Would you be interested? This month, we’ll explore a couple of different techniques for better understanding what’s hiding inside your audio soundtracks.
Level meters are an important tool for the video producer. During the shoot, they help identify correct sound levels, ensuring a clean, punchy soundtrack.

Keller Williams Realty Beverly
Focused on the agent
Business View Magazine interviews representatives of Keller Williams Realty Beverly, as part of our focus on best practices of real estate companies.
Keller Williams Realty of Beverly, Massachusetts is a full service real estate firm that was started in 2002 by Jason Parisella and Steve Archer. “Steve was from Coldwell Banker, and I was working with a regional company at the time, called Carlson Real Estate,” says Parisella, the firm’s Principal Operating Broker. “I was approached by the KW New England regional owner, and at the time there were only five Keller Williams offices in New England. The more I learned about the company, it seemed like something that would fill a need in this area. There hadn’t been anything beyond the traditional model here for a long time.”
“So I called Steve and asked him what he thought about opening a Keller Williams office. I had known him in the industry and we also grew up in the same neighborhood,” Parisella continues. “We went to Austin, Texas for franchise orientation to learn more.” At first, Parisella admits that he was skeptical. “As an agent, everything I heard was too good to be true; I thought I had to be missing something; there’s no way this is real.” In the end, though, he was convinced that the Keller Williams model was solid.
“To me, the number one thing was the commission split, and having a cap, which means you get the true, 100 percent commission after a certain amount of volume,” he explains. “So, going in, I knew how much I would pay the company, and when I added up the numbers of what I was paying Carlson, it was significantly more and I couldn’t justify. So, it made a tremendous amount of sense to me. That was the first piece that really attracted me to the company.”
Charlene Smith, the firm’s CEO, adds her perspective of why becoming a Keller Williams franchise was a good decision. “The compensation is extremely attractive,” she states, “but at the core, it’s the belief system and the culture. The company is so focused on the agent, and all of us had been working in a very traditional format, where the focus wasn’t on the agent, it was on corporate. At the end of the day, we were being told by Keller Williams that we were their most important asset. And to hear that, and to look at how the company is going to operate, it made complete sense that we were finally being acknowledged as individual business owners, or as team business owners, versus a real estate agent that worked for a corporate brand.”
When Parisella and Archer first opened their Keller Williams Realty Beverly office, they had less than ten agents. “Back in 2004, we opened a second location in Salem, and I went on to open three other locations – all Keller Williams offices – in Newburyport, Reading, and Topsfield,” Parisella relates. “So, collectively, we have about 465 agents and we surpassed $1 billion in sales volume in 2017. The goal that I have for the five offices is to have 500 agents, so I’m less focused on expanding locations, although that’s something we have been looking at, but I believe we can get to 500 agents, and then, specific to Beverly and Salem, to get to the 300 agent mark; we’re at 231, right now and we’re hoping by the end of the year to hit the 250 mark and then to 300. And getting up towards that $2 billion mark would be great.”
When it comes to deciding what type of agent would make a good fit for the firm, Parisella says several different metrics come into play. “We have something called the KPA (Keller Personality Assessment). “It’s an assessment that Keller Williams developed,” he says. “We use that as a benchmark. It’s not the only thing we look at, but it gives us an idea of how the person is ‘built.’ But, it’s really about a commitment to our productivity coaching program and being able to come to our training, plugging into certain expectations, and being able to meet them. We’ve got a system in place and those people just need to say ‘Yes’ to our program. The great thing about Keller Williams is we can take a brand new licensee, all the way to the person who’s the top agent in the area, and everything in between. In the industry in general, there’s a huge attrition rate, so there are a lot of people who think they can make it and they don’t. We tend to take the side that we’re going to give them a shot, instead of us judging whether somebody can do this, or not. We’ve got our program in place; it’s up to them if they want to plug into it or not.”
“We are a learning-based company,” Smith adds. “This office has always been committed to offering the best-in-class training and using a variety of resources so that we are not just training the newer agents that are starting out in the business, but all of the agents who have been in business for 20 or 30 years, who still need to be able to understand the marketplace, and how it’s changing, and how they can do their business in a different way that is going to lead them to more success.”
In a competitive marketplace, Smith believes that the firm possesses several advantages. “Our brand is very well established; we have that brand recognition throughout the north shore community where we control the market share,” she declares. “Also, it’s the professionalism that we portray. We look at this as a professional business as opposed to a part-time situation. So, our level of credibility is very high amongst buyers and sellers. You couple that with the relationships that our agents are continuing to build in the community. Our agents are very committed to the specific areas in which they live – that can mean board or committee membership, fundraising, charitable contributions, things like that.”
As part of that commitment, the firm also takes part in Keller Williams’ national organization, KW Cares. “Part of that national initiative is RED Day,” says Parisella, “where we go out into the community, once a year, to do charitable work for whatever the project is for that year. We commit the day to giving back to our local communities.” This past May, on RED Day, agents from the Beverly and Salem offices raked, mowed lawns, and cleaned debris from 10 seniors’ homes in Beverly. They also cleaned Camp Naumkeag for the Salem YMCA, and helped the Inn Between in Peabody organize their annual yard sale which benefits homeless families.
Another Keller Williams national initiative that has affected all of its local franchises stems from CEO John Davis’ desire for all of its agents to deliver their services via the latest technologies. “That’s something we’re definitely focused on in the office,” says Smith, “ensuring that the agents are able to keep up with technology. That’s not always the first thing they’re thinking about, but since we have a commitment to the Keller Williams initiative, we want to make sure that our agents are fully integrated with all the technology platforms as they become available. It helps them do business faster and easier.”
Parisella and Smith agree that the Keller Williams focus on its agents is key to the company’s success, both now and in the future. “We’re invested in the agents’ success above and beyond anything else,” says Smith. “We really succeed through our agents,” Parisella exclaims. “We do everything we can to support our agents and put them in the forefront. It’s a profit sharing, open-book company. It’s not the broker versus the agent; we’re partners in the business. A lot of agents actually put on their business card: Agent/Partner. So, it’s not Keller Williams first – it’s agents first. We’re the engine behind the agents and give them everything they need.”

BBS Telnet Access is Temporarily Closed due to Brute Force Penetration Attempts. 09/21/16 see resolution update posted below.
Someone has been brute force attacking the BBS via port 23 – Telnet. Unfortunately for the time being we were forced to close Wildcat’s telnet port shutting off anyone trying to connect to the bbs via this method.
Wildcat 5 BBS software was way advanced in its day and is highly configurable. The ability to change ports on the web http side was also an advance feature, but unfortunately the only Telnet option is to turn it on or off, but not change the access port.
We only have a couple of Telnet users accessing the bbs. Unfortunately due to security concerns for our network Telnet access must be closed. We are working on a solution. Possibly running the bbs under our existing CloudFlare account.
Update 09/21/16: It is being reported that certain SOHO Routers have an inherit vulnerability that can allow an attacker network access on port 23. This is what so called “script kiddies” are remotely scanning for. It’s a form of War Driving, similar to modem dialing a series of phone numbers looking for modems that answered (Movie War Games) but scanning a block of IP’s instead.
We have reached a solution that is allowing BBS Telnet access again, but are not announcing it in this post for security reasons. Users accessing the BBS by Telnet have been notified of the new login routine. 😉 | <urn:uuid:2c4288b2-aae6-43bc-aa2c-d8a8bba7fe75> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.fidosysop.org/4613/09/bbs-telnet-access-closed/ | 2021-10-20T07:09:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.959086 | 328 | [

Even back when I was a straight married lady, I did not long to produce little creatures who looked like me. I had a womb and a husband with the requisite matching equipment, but I lacked the appetite for motherhood. Luckily he was more committed to grinding his way toward a Ph.D. than doing his bit for the future of the human race, and I preferred laboring over short stories to folding nappies and filling sippy cups. (Had those even been invented in those Dark Ages?)
Then, when I crossed the Great Divide, deserting heterosexual-land and becoming a dyke, I was relieved I had not indulged in motherhood so that I could enter unencumbered into the heightened world of Women's Movement lesbian lifestyle. Nowadays lesbians live like heterosexuals, taking straight jobs, getting married to each other where possible, and bearing and raising children. But back then we survived on unemployment checks, agitated politically, wrote poetry, had serial and sometimes simultaneous love affairs, and danced in the bars till 2 a.m., after which we went for cheeseburgers at gay restaurants in the Castro. Busy with the revolution, passionate liaisons and other adventures, we left it to the heterosexuals to birth and raise the next generation.
Not once did I regret my decision. So imagine my surprise, three decades later, to find myself walking an 8-year-old home from school and then sitting with her as we draw cats -- a baseball cat with cap and bat, wedding cats (her choice, obviously) in tux and long white dress, a yoga cat with her feet behind her neck. Then, listening to an 11-year-old towheaded boy practice his trumpet (having told him how I played trumpet in high school, and even demonstrated a few notes). Or creating a theatrical performance with the whimsical 6-year-old, who floats about like Isadora at the drop of a tutu. And finally, the 4-year-old boy who several years ago stood at my elbow, fixed me with a grave look, and announced, "You are a person, right?" Yes, I answered. And he said, touching his narrow chest, "And I am a person." Yes, I agreed. He seemed relieved.
Who am I to them? Well, I'm not exactly grandma, because my partner fills that role as their "blood"grandma, the woman who raised their parents. Mostly, I'm just plan Sandy to them. Do they care that we are both women and gay? They think it's just fine. And while I never would have asked for this, I've also realized that now, I can't imagine living without them.
I took a while to warm up to the idea of having little people who saw me as part of the family scene. When I signed onto this caravan there was just one little creature, a yellow-haired tyke who raced naked down hallways, pushing a toy stroller, and hid under the grand piano with his grandma (a lively creature herself) when it was time to disappear. I watched from the middle distance, waiting to see if I would like him.
He did seem to covet his toys, he was loudly demanding, sometimes his romps developed into crazy chimpanzee maneuvers that ended in crashes and hysterical tears. On the other hand, he looked sweet and impossibly innocent in his default mode, and now and then he gently took my hand or crawled up on my lap, or greeted me with wide-eyed delight. He was winning. Just as I felt my hockey-puck heart start to crumble at its margins, another infant appeared. Then another, and another, all of them living on a double lot in Berkeley and sharing their lives with my partner and me.
What surprises me is how, as I get closer to them, I come to see my own past differently. I suppose, had I had children of my own, all this would have arisen as they were growing up. But because I skipped that stage, when I watch older child mistreating younger, I flip back into my own youth in which my sister took her opportunities to punish me for being daddy's favorite. I shuttle back and forth from yelling encouragement to a junior acrobat bouncing on the trampoline to my own juniorhood in which I doggedly, hopelessly longed for a trampoline that never materialized. When I watch a little moppet squirm at dinner and refuse the chicken and salad, I time-travel to our dinner table in Ohio, to stare at the lurid piece of liver dominating my plate, knowing I will not leave the table until I have choked it down. I listen to a tiny boy struggling to learn words and piece together language, and I am fascinated at the work and dedication it takes to develop a human being. Watching how tenderly these grandchildren are cared for and responded to and encouraged, I feel a squoshy ball of sadness in my chest at the distance my mother kept from us kids, watching from across the room when a hug would have helped so much. And so I coach myself to step forward and pick up a fallen child, even kissing a battered knee or scraped elbow when it feels necessary. I cycle through my judgments when a kid refuses to eat the hot dog because it was sliced differently from last time or the pasta because it has pepper on it. I mope when the 11-year-old gleefully beats me at Monopoly, remembering a time in my young life when, like him, I would have gone without food and sleep for days in order to continue playing that game.
There are moments when I am touched by their concern for me. Walking home from school one day with the 11-year-old boy, I was menaced by a bicycle approaching from the back, which I did not see. Like a grown-up man, he took my arm and steered me close to him so the bike could pass. The moment was the more poignant because I remembered him so vividly as that baby racing behind a stroller down the hallway.
I never wanted children. I never thought I'd have anything approaching "maternal instinct." But it turns out this gay grandma business boils down to a simple condition. As the 4-year-old put it, "You're a person, and I'm a person." Exactly. | <urn:uuid:b15540f8-673f-42c0-a86b-9002a7fa4247> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.salon.com/2011/04/01/gay_grandma_confessions/ | 2021-10-20T06:44:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585302.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020055136-20211020085136-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.982533 | 1,303 | [

One of the gifts of being a child of divorce is that our family holiday traditions were shaken up early.
Since we stopped doing “what we’d always done” when I was 15, I feel like I’ve had permission for the last 22 years of my life to re-invent with every holiday season.
One year we went out for Thanksgiving dinner in ball gowns.
The year Mike and I got married we spent Christmas Eve, just the two of us, at a sweet little French restaurant across the street from our apartment, and I made a Christmas Day feast for two, paleo style. Then we went to the movies.
Some years we’re with family. Some years we’re with friends. Some years we’re with both.
As I write this we’re actually still not 100% clear what we’re doing for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, and I’m really here for the freedom of that.
Every year we do things a little differently and I love it.
Just as the seasons of our lives change, why shouldn’t our holiday traditions evolve as well?
I know a lot of people are finding this holiday season particularly challenging.
Not being able to gather in the ways we always have can certainly feel like a profound loss.
(Though I’m well aware that for some, it’s a relief.)
No matter where in the spectrum you fall this year from grief to relief, I invite us all to take this opportunity to do something differently this holiday season.
Maybe it’s as simple as trying a new recipe.
Maybe it’s as dramatic as completely doing your own thing after 30 years of going home to your parents’ for the holidays.
We are not the same people we were a year ago, so why should we celebrate the same way?
Making space for doing something new is a sweet way to savor the season, despite our awareness of the things we wish could be that cannot.
It feels like this year more than any other year before is inviting us to ask ourselves:
What rituals of celebration and acknowledgment am I craving this year?
What foods, people, places, and practices would fill me up this year?
In case you needed permission to not do something just because your family always has, this is it.
And of course, if you have holiday traditions you savor, rock on.
As we move toward the close of the most bizarre year many of us have ever lived through, may we be present with our own needs and allow ourselves to get them met throughout the holiday season, even if it looks really different than it’s ever looked before.
If there were ever a time to shake things up, this year is it.
What holiday traditions are you letting go of or reinventing this year? What holiday traditions are you keeping and savoring? Leave a comment and let me know!

Tonight, attended my first ever SSCT (Skyline Sports Club Tokyo) New Year's Party, held in Ichigaya.
I got married last weekend in Zushi. The guys at SSCT knew this - and they (led by the SSCT Chairman, Fukai-san) surprised us (went with my wife) with some very nice gifts!
As for the event itself, there were some special guests present - selected speakers included Yoshikazu Sunako (Jukucho's dad), Kakizaki-san (?) and Goto-san (all who were involved in the development of the Prince 380 racing car, the predecessor to the first GT-R).
Followed by a short chat by Itoh-san and Watanabe-san, the developers of the R32 GT-R, and R33 and R34 GT-Rs, respectively.
After the talk show and dinner, they surprised us with this:
Fukai-san also gave us a special "stamina" drink - and a how to care for a baby book that would result from the stamina! Then, a judo book for when I got in trouble (to defend myself) and for her, a book on attorneys - good vs bad bengoshi!
After this, we went around taking pictures:
Here I am with Itoh-san, shortly after I got his autograph:
Here I am with Watanabe-san, shortly after I got his autograph:
I even got a picture with Sunako Sr:
Me, the wife, and Sunako SR:
And, as we were talking with him, I "won" this -
signed by Goto-san!
The wife with Sunako JR:
Thank you Fukai-san!
Tomorrow morning, I am off to Tsukuba 1000 - first time ever, running with D-Tech, a Mazda tuner. But I am not interested in times, more interested in the instruction on this short course. However, I did manage to fit the with S tires - at no cost - Fukai-san had bought four new s-tires for himself (he damaged one wheel/tire at the last track day), so he was throwing away his semi-used ones, so I got those for free! Thanks Fukai-san!!! | <urn:uuid:6be14353-99a2-4d22-8183-b9745d517858> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.r33gt-r.com/2008/02/ssct-new-years-party-2008.html | 2021-10-23T04:25:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585561.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023033857-20211023063857-00432.warc.gz | en | 0.976435 | 483 | [

Current Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf has penned a letter addressed to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, a man who is proving to be one of the weakest leaders in the history of this country — and given the rest of his fellow Democrats today, that’s really saying something — urging him to request federal assistance for his city, which has been shredded to pieces over the last three months.
Folks, these people do not care what happens to the individuals who live in their cities and states. The only thing that matters to them is to see President Trump removed from the White House this November. Wheeler would rather see the entire city burn to ashes than to ask Trump for help.
via Fox News:
“I urge you to prioritize public safety and to request federal assistance to restore law and order in Portland,” Wolf wrote in the letter dated Aug. 31. “We are standing by to support Portland. At the same time, President Trump has made it abundantly clear that there will come a point when state and local officials fail to protect its citizens from violence, the federal government will have no choice but to protect our American citizens.”
Portland has seen over three months of nightly violent protests, including three recent killings, as pro-Trump groups and left-leaning protesters have fought in the streets.
According to DHS, as of July 31, local law enforcement has made 255 arrests and declared 23 riots and unlawful assemblies.
“Despite this,” Wolf told Wheeler, “you have stood by passively, arguing that the nightly violence ‘will ultimately burn itself out.’ The evidence demonstrates otherwise.”
It seems that Wolf’s letter is a direct response to the one written by Wheeler at the end of August that was addressed to President Trump. In the letter, Wheeler makes it clear he has no interest in receiving help from the administration, thus proving that politics is more important to this man than the residents he is supposed to be serving.
“Dear President Trump: Yet again, you said you offered to aid Portland by sending in federal law enforcement to our city. On behalf of the City of Portland: No thanks,” Wheeler said in the letter.
“Portlanders are onto you,” Wheeler noted. “We have already seen your reckless disregard for human life in your bumbling response to the COVID pandemic. And we know you’ve reached the conclusion that images of violence or vandalism are your only ticket to reelection.”
Wolf urged Wheeler to reconsider his current position concerning the acceptance of help from the federal government.
“The chaos, destruction, and suffering in Portland are evils you can stop—and must stop. Consider what happened recently in Wisconsin—where the State of Wisconsin requested and received federal law enforcement assistance and the violence and looting there ended.”
Wolf went on to say, “Accordingly, I urge you to prioritize public safety and to request federal assistance to restore law and order in Portland. We are standing by to support Portland. At the same time, President Trump has made it abundantly clear that there will come a point when state and local officials fail to protect its citizens from violence, the federal government will have no choice but to protect our American citizens.”
Sad times in this country when the leader of a city that is being ravaged by miscreants won’t do the right thing and request the help that is necessary in order to bring law and order back to the streets.
People these days care more about their own careers than the livelihood of those in their communities. This is the kind of political climate leftists have created. | <urn:uuid:ed8c91fc-986e-45ba-ae7e-a834e4a56245> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://politicalcowboy.com/dhs-roasts-portland-mayor-says-he-must-prioritize-public-safety-or-else-feds-will-have-no-choice-but-to-protect-americans/ | 2021-10-23T05:56:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585561.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023033857-20211023063857-00432.warc.gz | en | 0.972702 | 746 | [

Voxengo has released an update to its GlissEQ dynamic parametric equalizer audio effect plugin for Windows and Mac.
Version 3.10 comes with support for high resolution screens, improved CPU usage and more.
The most interesting and unique feature GlissEQ offers you is its filters with dynamic behavior. Beside this wonderful “dynamic behavior”, GlissEQ features real-time spectrum analyzer. Moreover, the spectrum of a track can be exported to any other instance of GlissEQ thus making real-time inter-track spectrum comparisons possible. This can help you free frequency ranges in one track to allow the instrument in another track occupying same frequencies breathe.
Changes in GlissEQ v3.10
- Added Retina support on macOS, and automatic high-resolution UI size adjustment on Windows.
- 30% lower CPU usage on AVX2-capable processors (in 64-bit mode).
- Fixed issue with “Spectrum Offset” display modes.
- Added “anti-aliasing” spectrum display mode.
GlissEQ (VST/VST3/AU/AAX) is available from Plugin Boutique for $79.95 USD.

I’m sitting here at PHP South Coast, surrounded by PHP developers and I’m writing some Ruby. I’ve come up with a nice little gem to avoid the extra work involved in listing permitted attributes when creating new objects from a Rails form. You know what I’m talking about…
class UsersController < ApplicationController def create User.create(params.require(:user).permit(:first_name, :last_name, :email_address, :password, :password_confirmation)) end end
This is great but we just wrote that list of attributes in the form which submitted to this action so why do it call again? Isn’t this easier?
Why yes! Yes it is. auto_permit will automatically permit all the fields which had been included in the form which was submitted to the action.
I call this gem param-auto-permit and it’s on GitHub. Do check it out and have a read of the README file for install instructions.
So, how does it work?
Whenever you build a form using the Rails form builder options (e.g using form_for), the gem maintains a list of included fields based on their labels. For example, when you insert a label tag, the gem adds the attribute name to a list.

Investigations and enforcement actions involving employers and foreign national is the focus of the Labour Inspectorate. The employer risks a fine of € 8000 per employee without the required work authorization. Self-employed persons and individuals risk a fine of € 6000. For employees who are unable to identify themselves, a fine of € 2250 is risked.
If the employer is unable to fulfill his duties and responsibilities, the employer will receive a warning. If a repeated violation takes place, the following can be imposed:
- €3000 to €12000 per infringement
- Withdrawal from the sponsorship program
- Withdrawal of the permits, the foreign national can be deported.
All costs made by the Dutch authorities can be charged to the Dutch company. Furthermore, if the foreign national remains illegally in the Netherlands, repatriation costs can be charged to the company within one year after the employment has ended. We are able to represent the company at the hearings of the Labour Inspectorate or provide support in administrative and appeal proceedings. | <urn:uuid:8398c70d-1c3a-4127-9ff5-77ce277d2f31> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://legalcrossing.nl/corporate-clients/sanctions/ | 2021-10-26T02:10:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587794.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026011138-20211026041138-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.957287 | 205 | [

The social networks keep on coming. My last article detailed the different strategies you can use to grow your YouTube channel. My brother also recently wrote an article about TikTok.
Most people have several social media accounts with small audiences. You can be active on multiple social networks, but initially, most of your time should go to just one of them. Once you master a social network, it’s easier to master them all. Determine which social network to master based on where your targeted audience spends the most time.
There are many social networks benefitting businesses on such a massive scale, and people want to learn how to master them all. This approach is the long-term strategy I have in play for each of my clients who want to grow their social media audiences. Master them all and grow engaged audiences on each of the big social networks.
If you want to approach social media growth from a DIY perspective, here’s what you can do…
Leverage Other People’s Audiences
If you want to grow in general, one of the best ways to do it is by leveraging other people’s audiences. Way back in the day, you could create a Facebook Page, post quality content there, and people would engage with it.
Facebook then changed its algorithm to make it a pay-to-play atmosphere. To this day, Facebook and other social networks continue changing their algorithms.
But even with these algorithm changes, you can still grow an audience. The secret is groups. Facebook and LinkedIn allow their users to create groups and invite people to join those groups.
By participating in groups related to your niche, you can build on other people’s audiences. For example, my Facebook Group, “Breakthrough Success,” has over 700 members, so when I post something in that group, over 700 people may see it. There are plenty of other Facebook and LinkedIn groups with thousands of members. Get active in those groups, and people will notice you.
Cross-Promote Your Social Networks
All of your social media accounts fall under your brand. It’s essential to bounce people around throughout your social networks.
Some people might like what you’re doing on Instagram but have no idea that you have a YouTube channel. That will cripple your ability to achieve success on all of the big social networks.
The solution is cross-promotion. In some of my YouTube videos, I’ll mention one of my LinkedIn Articles. If you do this, then create a YouTube Card for that article. Add that YouTube Card in the video so people can click on it. Remember to provide the link to that article in the video description. While I do promote my other YouTube videos and ask people to subscribe, I’m also telling people about the article. This method allows you to promote an infinite loop of your content.
Here are some important things you can do in each of your LinkedIn Articles:
• Embed multiple YouTube videos within that article
• Link to one of your blog posts or a Medium post
• Put in an Instagram picture
• Mention your Facebook Group
• Embed a tweet
Aim to do as many of these as possible.
On Instagram, I frequently post updates related to my YouTube channel, share pictures of past tweets, inform people about the latest LinkedIn article, and tell people about my Facebook Group. You can do the same.
You can do similar things in your Facebook Group, Twitter, Medium, and blog. If it’s relevant to your audience, then mention everything everywhere. Pinterest is the next one for you to add to the cross-promotion strategy.
This is how you can become omnipresent on multiple social media platforms.

Dead or distressed birch trees are an increasingly common sight in yards throughout Alberta and the Canadian Forest Service wants to know why.
The federal agency has recently surveyed the condition of birches in about 50 Alberta communities, as well as communities in Saskatchewan, British Columbia and Washington state. The news isn’t good.
“What we found in a nutshell is that in the northern half of Alberta, decline of birch, which includes mortality and dieback, is generally fairly severe with the average percentage of trees dead or dying at about one third,” says David Langor, research scientist at the CFS Northern Alberta Forestry Centre.
But the survey also found the situation varies greatly from place to place.
For example, the rate of distressed or dying birch in northern Alberta communities is twice that of southern Alberta, where about 16 per cent of birches are in trouble. This was unexpected, since historically, southern Alberta receives significantly less moisture.
There is also huge variation within the northern part of the province. Lloydminster’s decline rate is only about seven per cent birch, compared to between 50 and 70 per cent in Edmonton. Researchers have also witnessed situations where one community is experiencing severe birch decline and a nearby one is experiencing no decline at all.
Langor says the prevailing theory is that birch decline is being caused by a combination of sustained drought, an insect called the bronze birch borer, and possibly a fungi associated with the insect. However, this is only a theory and it doesn’t explain the high rate of variability from one community to the next, or why birch in northern Alberta are in worse shape than in the south.
A new research program is being developed to solve this mystery. It will include creating a moisture pattern map and overlaying it onto a map of birch distress rates to gauge the impact of drought and investigating to see if the bronze birch borer has suddenly changed its behaviour to become more aggressive and if it’s carrying and spreading a destructive fungi.
“It could be that the insect is localized in certain areas and where it is present, you get this tree mortality increasing,” says Langor.
Another potential factor is the increasing number of warm spells during winter. Scientists want to know if this is possibly triggering a premature sap run in the birch.
A changing climate may be an underlying factor in all of these areas, says Langor.
“I often wonder if birch isn’t the canary in the coal mine because it is shallow rooted and perhaps more susceptible to drought,” says Langor. “Is it an early indicator of the impact of climate change? We don’t know. Interestingly enough, we’ve witnessed the same problem of dieback with balsam and sub-alpine fir over the past 20 years.”
Birch has limited commercial value in Alberta, save as firewood, but there has been recent interest in finding new uses for it. For example, there was a proposal by Ainsworth Lumber Company to build a hardwood sawmill using birch as the feedstock in the Valleyview area. As part of their follow-up research, CFS will expand its survey to see if naturally occurring birch in Alberta, Saskatchewan and B.C. forests are experiencing the same level of dieback as their urban cousins.
The CFS says there are a few remedial actions property owners can take to potentially save birch trees around their homes. They suggest heavy watering through drought periods and pruning dieback from the healthy tissue and disposing of it immediately. | <urn:uuid:b1454687-f4b8-4d92-a560-c0aaebb693af> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.albertafarmexpress.ca/news/birch-dieback-has-researchers-worried/ | 2021-10-27T13:53:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588153.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027115745-20211027145745-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.959944 | 749 | [

Users continue to experience intermittent freezes and/or system stalls after the update to Mac OS X 10.6.3. The issue is typified by the cursor freezing in place, or text input becoming suddenly interrupted then catching up a few seconds later.
A number of users have now reported success with another of the fixes we mentioned: removing login and startup items. There are two places to check for them:
- Login Items. System Preferences from Apple menu (upper-left corner of the screen) then click “Accounts.” Choose your current account from the left pane, then click the “Login Items” tab in the right pane. Deselect all items except those installed by Apple, such as “iTunes Helper” (you may need to click the lock box in the lower left of the screen to make changes). Save the changes.
- Startup Items. Look in root level of your startup drive (e.g. Macintosh HD). Navigate to Library/StartupItems. Remove all items to a safe location.
Once you’ve deslected/removed all items from both locations, restart and check for persistence of the issue(s). You can then re-add items one by one and identify the offending component.

We all know Dr. Vicki Belo , the celebrity dermatologist who established an empire from making people beautiful. But did you know that it was a bleak childhood experience that motivated her to find success in her chosen field? At the WomenWill event at Google Philippines for International Women's Day, the acclaimed doctor talked about carving a career out of her passion, finding support from her partner in raising their daughter, and dealing with gender inequality in the workplace. How did you decide on your chosen career? I started my dream when I was only five years old. I was bullied as a child, because I was a hundred pounds when I was seven. You know, I was adopted.

In 5 years, one thing has become certain to me. My husband has the benefit of having his cake and eating it too. Might be worth working through the missionary lessons and CES letter to see if they can agree at least to disagree. If you stay together l, you are going to have to remind her of that commitment. All these post confirming how doctors cheat all the time on their spouse kills me and my hope in a future with him. Children thrive on clarity and consistency. It is also considered disrespectful to others, as they may be uncomfortable because of your open displays. I grew up in a very strict Mormon home and dated only Mormon men until I met my now husband. That desire that they be someone other than who they were when they married you is toxic to a relationship.

Album Review: Steve Rothery - 'The Ghosts of Pripyat'.
Hot on the heels of last month’s ‘Live In Rome’ comes ‘The Ghosts Of Pripyat’, Steve Rothery’s first ever solo studio album. Working on the tracks right up to the production deadline, the album has been a real labour of love for the Marillion guitarist. Financed through an incredibly successful ‘Kickstarter’ crowd-funding campaign, it’s Rothey’s first ‘proper’ solo release in a thirty-two year career.
Inspired by the fruits of a band put together out of necessity, when Rothery was asked to perform at the Plovdiv International Guitar Festival in Bulgaria, ‘The Ghosts Of Pripyat’ is an album that treads the same musical paths as modern day Marillion, i.e. expansive, epic soundscapes that stimulate the emotions. The approach has one crucial difference however, as Rothery himself states; “these days in Marillion we’re a two keyboard band with one guitarist, so sometimes the music can’t help but be guided by that dynamic. Here it’s very much the guitars that rule the roost”.
As an entirely instrumental affair, the music follows a ‘soundtrack’ format, with each piece creating a stunning aural vista to suit the prevailing mood suggested in its theme. Rothery already has form in this area, having previously won a regional Emmy award in the USA for his work on the anti-bullying documentary ‘From The Heart’.
Those who have heard the live album will know exactly what to expect, as all of the tracks featured here are available on ‘Live In Rome’, with the sole exception of the title track. Aside from the obvious benefits that a studio production brings, the main difference between the two (aside from the DVD and other bonus materials available on both packages), is the presence of a pair of big name musical guests from the Prog world that appear on the studio release.
The opening ‘Morpheus’ contains the first guest, in the form of Steve Hackett. It’s a joy to hear Rothery play off against another guitarist, and Hackett’s fluid and melodic style perfectly complements Rothery’s on this cinematic and atmospheric track. As on the live release, it’s followed by ‘Kendris’. A song that drives along with Eastern boogie, it brings with it an upbeat and uplifting tone. Keyboardist Riccardo Romano really shines here, adding subtle colour to the melodious guitars.
‘The Old Man Of The Sea’ meanwhile, is the album’s centrepiece. Clocking in at just under twelve minutes, like all of the best epics, it doesn’t seem overlong or laboured. A moody first half featuring tempered soloing over a trademark picked guitar passage highlights just what a master of understatement Rothery is. The brooding second half of the song however, will be the real treat for progressive music fans, and sees Rothery joined again by Hackett, along with the album’s other guest Steven Wilson, with all three taking lengthy solos.
In contrast stylistically, the genteel shuffle of ‘White Pass’ conceals some of the most melancholic melodies on the album within its warm sentiments. ‘Yesterday’s Hero’ is warmer still, with achingly beautiful melodies and arpeggios that radiate over a summery groove before breaking into a jaunty jig.
The album’s highlight however, is the initially laidback ‘Summer’s End’, which contains some of the albums most sublime passages. A juxtaposing song of two halves, making good on his promise that “there’s a lot of ‘heavier’ type stuff that we don’t tend to do in Marillion anymore”, it also contains some of the angriest guitar parts that Rothery has ever played, bolstered by the hard hitting drumming skills of Leon Parr.
Finally, the brief (by comparison) title track closes the album, with a picked steel string guitar setting a folky tone before the song comes alive with sprightly drums, lively bass and tuneful keys topped off by more exquisite soloing.
“I wanted it to be fantastic. You only have one chance to make an album like this, your first proper solo album” states Rothery. Judging by the results he’s succeeded, creating a cohesive body that stands up effortlessly against that of his day-job. On an instrumental album with real depth and feel, the ghosts of Pripyat at last have a voice.

The Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History & Culture in Duke University’s Rubenstein Library is now the permanent home for the archive of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. When Sedgwick died in 2009, the contents of her archive were inherited by H. A. Sedgwick, who has donated them to Duke.
Over the past decade, the books, papers, and artworks comprising the archive have been meticulously organized and documented, principally by Sarah McCarry, working first with H. A. Sedgwick and later with the Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick Foundation. During this time, the process of selecting a new home for the archive was going on. Many highly suitable institutions expressed interest in housing it, especially after Jane Hu’s article about it appeared in the New Yorker. Duke stood out because of its superb facilities and staff; because of the inter-disciplinary cooperation among their special collections, which is well-suited to the breadth of Sedgwick’s interests and activities; and most of all because of the sustained yet patient enthusiasm of Laura Micham, who is the Merle Hoffman Director of the Sallie Bingham Center.
Once a gift agreement had been signed last summer, and moving arrangements had been made, Micham and McCarry, working together in Sedgwick’s studio over the course of a week, prepared the 73 boxes of materials, some of which are shown in this photo (with Micham on the left and McCarry on the right). Everything was palletized and trucked to Durham, North Carolina, where it is now safely housed in the storage facility of Duke’s library, and intake processing has begun. This material joins 8 boxes of papers that Sedgwick had left at Duke when she moved to the The Graduate Center at the City University of New York.
With the disruptions caused by COVID-19, it is not possible at present to say exactly when, but it is hoped that the Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick archive will be ready to receive visitors by sometime in 2021. An announcement will be made, and further information, including a collection description and a finding aid, will be available at that time.

MARCH 29, 2018: DEAN SPADE WILL PRESENT THE EIGHTH ANNUAL EVE KOSOFSKY SEDGWICK MEMORIAL LECTURE AT BOSTON UNIVERSITY
Dean Spade, Associate Professor of Law at Seattle University, will give this year’s lecture in the Honoring Eve series, organized by the Boston University Gender + Sexuality Studies Group. They describe the lecture, “How Social Movements Feel,” as follows:
“As organizers know, social movements are made of relationships. While efforts to dismantle, reform, and reimagine are often focused on critical analysis and material outcomes, much of what determines the impacts of social movements are the social relations, conflicts, and emotional capacities of participants. In conversation with the work of Eve Sedgwick, Dean Spade will explore questions facing contemporary movements about our being together.”
As described in his faculty profile, Professor Spade “founded the Sylvia Rivera Law Project www.srlp.org, a non-profit law collective that provides free legal services to transgender, intersex and gender non-conforming people who are low-income and/or people of color. SRLP also engages in litigation, policy reform and public education on issues affecting these communities.” Spade was a Williams Institute Law Teaching Fellow at UCLA, and has taught classes at Columbia and Harvard Law Schools.
A video of Professor Spade’s talk will be posted on BU’s Honoring Eve website.

We are delighted to announce that Jason Edwards has edited a collection of essays based on a symposium examining the poetry of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, and including many of her previously uncollected poems. The book’s publisher describes it as follows:
"Bathroom Songs: Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick as a Poet is the first book of essays to consider the poetry of one of the twentieth- and early twenty-first-century’s most important literary, affect, and queer theorists. Acclaimed as one of the “truly innovative” poets of her generation by Maud Ellmann, Sedgwick’s work as a poet is, perhaps, less well known, but is no less compelling than her ground-breaking trilogy of queer theoretical texts: Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire, Epistemology of the Closet, and Tendencies.
“The book includes seven specially commissioned essays considering Sedgwick’s published poetry and writing about poets, by Angus Brown, Meg Boulton, Mary Baine Campbell, Jason Edwards, Kathryn R. Kent, Monica Pearl, and Benjamin Westwood, that range across the complete range of Sedgwick’s work, from her earliest published lyrics through her first collection of poetry, Fat Art, Thin Art, to her part-haiku, part-prose autobiography, A Dialogue on Love, and beyond. In addition, the book contains over forty of Sedgwick’s previously uncollected poems, ranging from her earliest poem on T.E. Lawrence to her final poem ‘Death’, introduced and contextualized by Edwards.”
Bathroom Songs is published by punctum books.

Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s influential essay, “Paranoid Reading and Reparative Reading, or, You’re So Paranoid, You Probably Think This Essay Is About You,” was the subject of a one-day symposium held on Valentine’s Day 2017 at the University of York, UK.
The program of the symposium and video recordings of each session are available here.
The event was organized by Jason Edwards (U. York) and Angus Connell Brown (U. Birmingham). They comment that the publication of “‘Paranoid Reading and Reparative Reading’ marks both a landmark and a turning point for queer studies. Written in the years after Teresa de Lauretis christened queer theory in 1991, this intricate address of Melanie Klein, Sylvan Tomkins, Judith Butler, and D. A. Miller laid out a style of reading that continues to inform the scope and tone of critical theory in the 21st century.”
The organizers note that “an inkling of the reparative first appeared in the Autumn of 1996 as a short introduction to ‘Queerer than Fiction’, a special issue of Studies in the Novel. The following year, Sedgwick substantially rewrote the essay to introduce an expanded collection for Duke University Press, Novel Gazing: Queer Readings in Fiction. In 2003, the essay appeared in its third and final incarnation as a chapter in the last book Sedgwick published in her lifetime: Touching Feeling.”

Maria José Belbel Bullejos has published a Spanish-language edition of Esther Newton’s Mother Camp: Female Impersonators in America, first published in 1972. Based on field work in the mid-1960s, this anthropological study of drag performers and performance spaces has been of enduring interest to Eve Sedgwick and other queer theorists. The translation is by Belbel and Paloma Uria, and is available from Múltiplos.
As we’ve noted previously, Belbel has been active in making available in Spanish the work of Sedgwick and other queer theorists. She is currently planning the 2017 publication of a Spanish translation of Sedgwick’s Touching Feeling. | <urn:uuid:9f3b0dd4-62ba-41e2-b2be-3ee211618355> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://evekosofskysedgwick.net/blog/page1/ | 2021-10-19T00:03:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585215.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018221501-20211019011501-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.945107 | 1,616 | [

Happy Friday EVE all! I am absolutely ready for the weekend, but, then, again, aren’t we all :) I was up bright and early this morning at 5:15 to get in my 3 mile run/walk. I did a 3:1 interval today and it was a great run. I really think giving my legs a day rest and getting 8 hours of sleep made all the difference in the world.
In other SUPER COOL HALF MARATHON News ~ TWO MORE friends have joined in on the fun and will be running with us ~ LOVE it!
I maximized my “fat burn” zone and waited an hour to eat. I decided to try a new protein/fat/fiber combo today to see if it would help fill me up more.
2 slices of dry TJ’s FF Multi-Grain Bread (I am IN LOVE with this bread and cannot get enough – I LOVE that it’s only 1 point a slice, 2 pts for 2 slices!)
1 “fried” egg with sea salt & pepper (2 pts)
Pear (1 pt)
All together this 5 point combination worked great and kept me full for 3 hours ~ awesome!
I LOVE Buckwheat noodles because you get a TON for fairly low points and they are healthy for you. Awhile back I bought this Sesame Soba Noodles dish from Trader Joe’s purely for a quick meal and….
because the STATS are awesome! (5 pts)
I LOVE that you can recognize EVERY ingredient as REAL food on just about every TJ’s frozen dish.
The VERDICT ~ I LOVED the spicy sesame flavor., It reminded me A LOT of the Vegetable Gyoza with Edamame that I made before. I wish there were MORE vegetables in there and that the tofu wasn’t so funky (styrofoam like). That being said, I’d still get it again. I ate lunch with my latest issue of Health Magazine plus 2 cuties.
When I got back to my desk, I NEEDED dessert. I had a tablespoon of TJ’s Dark Chocolate POM seeds. I am so addicted to these ~ I bet they would be AWESOME melted on oatmeal.
I can’t say I am super proud of my afternoon snacks. I had greek yogurt and fruit planned but I just wasn’t feeling it. This is the problem with me if I have GOOD snacks sitting in my drawer ~ I want them over anything I bring. So…..I started with some BBQ Pop Chips (2 pts for the 100 cal bag) ~ LOVE Pop Chips!
They didn’t fill me up for long so I grabbed the sample bar that I received at my Weight Watcher Meeting last night. It is their new Roasted Almond Sensation. I didn’t LOVE this bar at all ~ it was pretty hard and left me with Captain Crunch mouth. I also could totally taste the splenda…bummer, but, I did like the salty/sweet concept.
When I got home, I was starving and wanted dinner ASAP. Funny, I warded off morning hunger, now I have afternoon/evening hunger – go figure :)
Dinner involved some of my FAVORITE things to make up an AMAZING Taco Salad
Instant TJ’s Guacamole
This guac has an ingredient list just like you’d make it at home from scratch.
With awesome stat’s to boot.
Whenever I have salad I ALWAYS like to add crunch (nuts, chips, something FUN!) Tonight, I used 4 Rice Works Sweet Chili Chips. These are totally addictive just like the Lundberg varieties!
My Mom’s HOT SMOKEY Chipotle Salsa (it even has olives in it!)
Instant Guac that doesn’t look pretty but totally tastes like the real deal.
6 POINT TACO SALAD DELICIOUSNESS!!!
Organic Romaine and Spinach mixed, rinsed and spun
Organic Yellow Bell Pepper
Organic Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 c FF Salsa Refried Beans
1/2 c lean taco meat, cooked then seasoned with salsa & homemade taco seasoning
1/2 oz finely shredded sharp cheese
4 Chile Rice Chips
Salsa, Guacamole & Hot Sauce
I also made up another salad while I made dinner so I have lunch tomorrow.
It looks like I’ll be typing up that Roasted Butternut Squash Soup for you all soon ~ it’s so good, I need to make it again anyway. Look for it soon, maybe by this weekend.
Speaking of soup ~ don’t forget to enter to WIN THIS SOUPER PRIZE!! Contest ends tonight!
I am off to catch some cuddle time with The Husband and watch All About Steve ~ I LOVE Sandra Bullock so I know I am going to love it! Although he is watching football sooooo I may just read 🙂 | <urn:uuid:9d42e87e-9acb-4fef-a6bc-53c5e5ac142a> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.danicasdaily.com/this-is-not-a-tjs-infomercial-promise | 2021-10-18T23:03:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585215.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018221501-20211019011501-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.928346 | 1,057 | [

After a few slow years following the Great Recession, the demand for cemetery planning and design services in the US has now begun to ramp up as state and federal agencies have started spending on a new round of much-needed veterans cemeteries expansions around the country. RVi, as a subconsultant to Gordon Engineering (Chantilly, VA), has been working on several cemeteries as part of a national Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the VA. Current work includes expansions for South Florida National Cemetery (Lake Worth, FL), The National Cemetery of the Alleghenies (Pittsburgh, PA) and Great Lakes National Cemetery (Flint, MI).
At the state level, we are working as a subconsultant to Pape Dawson (Austin, TX) on two new projects: an expansion of the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen, TX and the Texas State Cemetery Master Plan in Austin, TX. Working on the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery since its inception in 2002, the team has completed three expansion phases on this cemetery to-date. The Texas State Cemetery is unique in that it is both a historic state cemetery and a veterans cemetery. Located in near downtown Austin, the cemetery was founded in 1854 as a burial site for Edward Burleson, Vice-President of the Republic of Texas. The site was later expanded to accommodate Confederate burials and now includes the graves of many prominent Texans. With capacity for 7,500 interments, the goal of the master plan is to determine how best to utilize the remaining land (the cemetery is half full), control maintenance costs, and improve the cemetery’s overall sustainability. | <urn:uuid:10a95b3e-b752-4498-83c0-fb543184b689> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.rviplanning.com/2018/02/planning-ahead-federal-and-state-cemeteries-benefit-from-renewed-focus-and-funding/ | 2021-10-19T00:01:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585215.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018221501-20211019011501-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.960918 | 346 | [

Crema di Funghi Porcini
Based in the Northern Italian town of Cuneo, Piedmont, La Favorita Fish started making their delicious pastes and sauces just after the end of the Second World War. Today, they are making them in much the same way as they were back then—using only the finest Italian ingredients, and never any additives or colouring agents.
A wild porcini mushroom paste, which is wonderful added to a mushroom risotto to intensify the flavours - mix in alongside a knob of butter and leave to stand for a few minutes before serving with freshly-grated parmesan. Alternatively rub under the skin of a chicken before roasting or in a breast with butter as a take on chicken Kiev. | <urn:uuid:f5daba07-bdde-4237-9864-d2a8328a9f87> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.oilmerchant.co.uk/products/crema-di-porcini | 2021-10-20T11:03:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585305.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020090145-20211020120145-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.945981 | 153 | [

I was genuinely surprised by what it meant to become a father. My ‘arrival’ into this lofty status was etched on the reassuring words of other dads – statements like ‘You’ll be right mate’ or ‘It’s the best thing ever’. So when I found out this wasn’t strictly true – at least for me – you can appreciate my response!
I now know that what many experienced dads forget to tell us new’uns is that fatherhood can be different to what we expect, and it is more like a hike than a picnic. There are tough parts, easy parts, areas to be cautious and spots to rest; but overall it’s generally a full journey that’s beautiful for the most part and memorable enough that you may want do that hike again. Maybe even a few times! | <urn:uuid:adc937a1-27ad-4501-9ea9-20ce7abf0b66> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.speechandlearning.com.au/patient-info/blog/something-for-dads--being-an-active-father-12430/ | 2021-10-20T10:34:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585305.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020090145-20211020120145-00552.warc.gz | en | 0.966204 | 179 | [

Does manzanita grow in New Mexico?
Pointleaf manzanita is a common shrub in Arizona and New Mexico’s interior chaparral. This vegetation type, found along the Mogollon Rim, is dominated by shrubs and small trees.
Where can I find a manzanita tree?
They are evergreen shrubs or small trees present in the chaparral biome of western North America, where they occur from Southern British Columbia and Washington to Oregon, California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas in the United States, and throughout Mexico.
How do you identify a manzanita tree?
Manzanitas are popular for their shiny red or mahogany colored bark. Manzanitas have urn-shaped flowers that vary from pink to white and are popular with hummingbirds. They are very drought tolerant and evergreen, always looking green and healthy even in the hottest, driest part of the summer.
Do manzanita trees bloom?
The open habit of this manzanita shows off its beautiful chocolate branching habit, which contrasts well with glaucus leaves. Clusters of pale pink urn-shaped flowers bloom in late winter or early spring offering hummingbirds a good nectar source when few other natives are in bloom.
Where do manzanita trees grow in Arizona?
It is native to Arizona in the Lukachukai Mountains of the Navajo Nation. This is a good choice for landscapes due to its low growth and decreased fire hazard. Some backyard gardeners enjoy propagating their existing manzanita plants using “air layering”.
Is a manzanita a tree?
Manzanita, any of about 50 species of evergreen shrubs and trees of the genus Arctostaphylos, of the heath family (Ericaceae), native to western North America. The leaves are alternate, thick, evergreen, and smooth-edged.
How long do manzanita trees live?
Later settlers used the berries to make jelly and cider. Since they are western species, manzanitas have to be adapted to fire. Some species form a burl at the base that resprouts after a fire. Some of these species can live to be 1,000 years old.
Is it illegal to cut manzanita in Arizona?
It is unlawful to harvest anything but the fruit of a manzanita tree without a permit, and owning any other part of a manzanita tree is also against the law. Can you legally dig up or cut down a manzanita tree? Quite likely not without a permit.
Are manzanita trees fast growing?
A fairly quick-growing, tall manzanita to 12-15 feet tall and about as wide, with an open structure and dark red bark. Large, light green leaves lightly clothe the branches. Clusters of white flowers bloom in late winter.
Can you bonsai a manzanita tree?
Manzanitas are all that you could ask for in a fine bonsai. In addition to lovely fruit, they have pink flowers in the spring and trunks with a lot of movement. The bark is naturally a deep reddish-brown, and the foliage makes a beautiful contrast to the trunk because it is a soft gray green.
Can you eat manzanita berries?
You’ll find these bushes growing in great profusion in the Sierra Nevada of California, but various species will grow as far north as British Columbia and as far east as Texas. They are, for the most part, lovers of arid places. It doesn’t matter which species you come across— all manzanita berries are edible.
What is the difference between a madrone and a manzanita tree?
Both the madrone and manzanita boast tasty fruit, though interestingly their berries are one of the most significant differences between the two related plants. The madrone boasts more traditional berries, though being somewhat bitter they are prime candidates for preserves.
Is manzanita a hardwood?
Manzanita, a hardwood shrub with fascinating root burl, grows in California at elevations above 1,000 feet. The brown chaparral and bleak earth background highlight the manzanita’s remarkably smooth, tight-fitting skin of dark red on its trunk and intertwined branches.
Why is manzanita red?
According to Sherwin Carlquist, an expert on wood anatomy in California native plants, the rich, reddish coloration of manzanitas—which varies among species from orange to mahogany to dark purple— comes from tannins (and other compounds) manufactured by, and deposited in, the cells of its exterior bark. | <urn:uuid:f12ffb8f-2e5b-47cf-b4cb-09dea43b06e7> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://plazagaleria.com/new-mexico/faq-where-to-find-natural-growing-manzanita-trees-in-new-mexico.html | 2021-10-21T22:05:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585441.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021195527-20211021225527-00632.warc.gz | en | 0.926017 | 1,141 | [

THE PRODUCTS YOU NEED NO MATTER YOUR DETAILING EXPERIENCE!
When it comes to the ultimate detailing kit, it goes without saying that we've got you covered for absolutely everything your pride and joy could possibly desire. In fact, it's pretty clear that we stock the very best for every cleaning, correction and finishing process imaginable. But, if you're something of a novice, what are the essential items to get started on your journey to detailing enlightenment? What should be in your Auto Finesse Detailer's Kit Bag or Crew Bag right now?
Well, that's exactly where we're happy to help. We've picked out eight of our most popular products that are not only ideal for beginners, but a mainstay for enthusiasts and professionals, too.
So, whether you're looking to start building your kit from scratch, or simply making sure you're always packing the absolute essentials this season, then this collection of all-time great crowd-pleasers will put you on the right track…
IMPERIAL WHEEL CLEANER
Any detailer will tell you that you always clean your wheels and tyres first. This is because - as the only bit that actually makes contact with the road - they're generally the dirtiest part of the car. The key thing here is to avoid spreading this heavy grit and grime to the rest of the bodywork… especially after you've already cleaned it!
Alloy wheels also require particularly powerful chemical cleaning agents to remove the harsh contaminants most commonly found on and around them. Take brake dust as a prime example, this is essentially made up of metal shards and ceramic material that gets extremely hot, becomes airborne and gets stuck onto (and often embedded into) the surface. Dissolving and lifting these kind of contaminants tends to require more heavy-duty cleaning agents than you'll find in car shampoo, but it's still vital to use a gentle product that won't damage the wheel finish. The vast majority of alloys out there are only painted or powdercoated after all, and strong acidic industrial products can easily do more harm than good.
Imperial Wheel Cleaner is an extremely powerful chemical cleaner, but the acid-free formula is safe to use on all common wheel finishes. Simply spray liberally onto your wheels and watch as the degreasers and cleaning agents break down and safely lift the contamination away from the surface, ready to be rinsed away. For a little more bite on heavy soiled wheels - or to get into every recess of complicated wheel designs - you can also agitate Imperial with Barrel Brush, before following up on the faces with a Detailing Brush or dedicated wash mitt.
CITRUS POWER BUG & GRIME REMOVER
When it comes to ensuring that you don't inflict light scratches and swirl marks as you wash, giving your vehicle exterior a thorough pre-wash is absolutely critical. This is even more critical during autumn, winter and spring, where you'll find a higher concentration of salt, grit and other harmful contaminants on the road.
The idea here is simply washing your vehicle, before you physically make contact. This is to rid the paintwork of the worst contaminants and avoid dragging them across the surface with your mitt when you contact wash later.
At the very least, you should always rinse your vehicle down with a pressure washer from top to bottom. But, by far the best way to shift grime is to utilise a dedicated pre-wash cleaner to dissolve any heavy soiling, allowing it to be rinsed from the surface without making contact with the paintwork.
Our Citrus Power Bug & Grime Remover is safe for use on every exterior surface, and quickly breaks down dirt with a single application. Gentle enough to be used on every pre-wash, and safe to use on vehicles with previously applied waxes or sealants, so it won't degrade protection, either.
LATHER CAR SHAMPOO
Getting the ultimate swirl-free wash is actually pretty straightforward when you know how. In fact, half of the battle is choosing the correct cleaning product because, to cut down on inflicting swirls, your shampoo has to act both as a cleaner and a lubricant. Our citrus-infused Lather Car Shampoo does both of these jobs, and this means that it's not just able to break down and lift any reaming grime, but it also lubricates large particles so they can slip over, and most importantly off of, paintwork without causing damage.
Lather is purely a powerful, highly-concentrated cleaner that contains no waxes or gloss enhancers, this means that it won't interfere with any other stage of your detail, either. It's also pH neutral, so it won't strip off any protection you may have applied the last time you detailed your vehicle, making it perfect for use every time you wash.
A couple of other great tips for swirl-free contact washing are to use two buckets - one containing your diluted Lather Car Shampoo solution, and another with clean, plain water (to wash out your dirty mitt before going back for more shampoo). And to always start at the top of your car, washing in straight lines and tackling the cleaner parts first. This will stop you from dragging grime from the dirtier areas to the clean ones.
AQUA DELUXE DRYING TOWEL
We can never say this enough - always, always dry your car after every detail. This is because tap water - the stuff you're likely using in your pressure washer - contains minerals that will leave deposits if left to air-dry. These problems are only compounded in hard water areas.
The good news is that our Aqua Deluxe Drying Towel (and our larger Aqua Deluxe XL Drying Towel) is the answer here, and the only way to quickly dry your vehicle without inflicting scratches or swirls. Constructed from deep-pile, 1200gsm microfibre, this super-soft, super-absorbent towel soaks up the moisture straight off the surface, rather than simply attempting to push the water off and risk inflicting defects that will need to be rectified later.
TRIPPLE ALL-IN-ONE POLISH
When it comes to like to deep-cleaning, enhancing and protecting your paintwork Tripple All-in-One Polish is a product that's impossible to beat. Engineered to complete all three tasks in a single application, this really is the ultimate one-step solution for amazing results on any colour in minimal time.
Tripple can be applied by hand or machine and contains special diminishing abrasives that deep-clean paintwork, removing light defects and oxidation. Packed with swirl-filling glazes, this product is also infused with Carnauba wax so it leaves behind not just enhanced paintwork, but also a protective layer that lasts for over a month. This makes it great for use as a stand-alone finishing product, or as the perfect base for another wax-based protection product.
RADIANCE CARNAUBA CRÈME
Adorning your paintwork with as much protection as possible is one of the most important concepts in detailing, otherwise how would you safeguard all your hard work when you've polished your car to perfection? Having sufficient protection is also designed to block out the elements, helping to prevent early-onset corrosion and paint oxidation. And that's before you even get to the part about enhancing the look of your vehicle.
Of course, there are many schools of thought on the best products to choose for different applications, along with much debate in detailing circles about the attributes of waxes, paint sealants and ceramic coatings with regards to shine, durability level of protection.
One thing that never goes out of fashion though, is the warm glow of a wax, so a great place to start is with our Radiance Carnauba Crème. This non-abrasive formula gives the sort of deep, glossy finish associated with a Carnauba-based hard wax, but in an economical, "easy-on/easy-off' cream form.
This non-abrasive formula can be topped up on every subsequent maintenance detail and offers durability of up to 3-months.
CRYSTAL GLASS CLEANER
Never underestimate the power of a top-notch glass cleaner, simply because nothing lets down the impact of an otherwise great detail like streaky, smeary glass. In fact, it's an all-too-common oversight, which is a huge shame, because Crystal Glass Cleaner makes this process easier than ever.
This highly-concentrated blend of distilled solvents, quickly dissolves grime, fingerprints and greasy films, allowing them to be wiped away. Guaranteed to give a sparkling finish to all exterior and interior glass surfaces, Crystal is always one of the crucial final steps to any detail, and infinitely handy in between washes for removing light soiling and offering the best all-round vision.
FINALE QUICK DETAILER
Whether it's buffing away any smears and fingerprints, using as a drying aid to mop up the last moisture after your wash, or simply for giving your vehicle a quick once over to eradicate watermarks, light dust or left over compound, polish and wax residue, Finale Quick Detailer is a master multitasker, and one that's comes highly recommended to keep in your kit at all times.
This non-streaking, water-based formula can be used on all surfaces including paint, glass, hard plastics and brightwork. And its sweet maraschino cherry scent makes it a pleasure to use when perfecting the last stages of your detail.
Finale is also infused with carnauba, making it an impeccable finisher and perfecter, and what's more, it needs nothing but a quick spritz and a wipe. | <urn:uuid:fbafe282-30bd-4986-9c4a-5c5534ddd33b> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.autofinesse.com/en/blog/guides/kitbag-essentials-to-kickstart-your-detailing-career | 2021-10-23T08:26:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585653.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023064718-20211023094718-00712.warc.gz | en | 0.937235 | 2,174 | [

A Community Manager is one of the most essential, and yet also one of the most misunderstood, positions on any marketing team. While many make the mistake of assuming that a Community Manager is simply the new title for a social media expert, this position is actually a great deal more complex. Community Managers are pioneers in a developing field, people who have the unique combination of intelligence, charisma, web-savvy and forward thinking to build and grow online communities, especially those that develop around a brand or product. They are the voice, the personality, and the most visible representative of your brand online, all while encouraging the growth and development of the online communities that grow up around your brand.
What Is An Online Community?
An online community is made up of all of the people who interact with and hold discussions around your brand’s web presence. They are your primary target audience online, and your Community Manager interacts with them more than anyone else (usually on a daily basis). Your brand’s online community includes:
- social media, such as Facebook fans and Twitter followers
- individuals who comment on your brand’s blog posts or articles
- bloggers and other writers who create content about your brand
- anyone who publishes an online review of your products or service
- members of online discussion boards or other communities (like Reddit) who may discuss your brand and products
Your Community Manager must interact with all of these different forums, and act as a representative of your brand in each of them. They also work hard to attract more people to follow you on social media, generate business for the brand online, encourage people to interact with your brand online, and in turn also respond to issues or questions that may arise about your brand in an intelligent and sensitive manner.
The Qualities Of A Community Manager
An effective Community Manager must be:
- passionate and knowledgeable about your brand
- extremely skilled in social media and know how to best harness its potential
- sensitive enough to respond to issues or complaints about your brand
- exceedingly well-informed about your product, your brand and your entire industry
- have a strong, likeable and dynamic personality
- resourceful and flexible enough to think up creative solutions and refer your target audience to the right resources, departments or other information
Why Is A Community Manager Important?
A Community Manager is your gateway to your target audience. They often serve as the first point of contact between current and future clients of your brand, and play a crucial role in relaying your audience’s messages back to you. They also play a crucial role in determining how your brand is perceived by members of your audience; for example, if they approach a Community Manager with a query or complaint, and find that first point of contact with your brand pleasant, informative and helpful, then they will have a much more positive perception of your brand and you are more likely to translate that first contact into an ongoing relationship. They serve as your brand’s ambassador to the online world, communicating valuable information not only about your products and services, but also your brand’s corporate message, mission statement and values.
Your Community Manager is your best source of information on current online trends and discussions. Because they deal directly with your clients and customers, as well as potential members of your target audience, they are the best equipped members of your marketing team when it comes to being aware of trends and relevant news items, and knowing how to best respond to them. They will know what your target audience is discussing, what they are interested in and concerned about, and will be best able to respond in a useful, accurate and brand-consistent way.
A Community Manager bridges an important online gap between Customer Service and online content marketing. They have a direct connection to your target audience and are able to quickly respond to trends, events and news items the moment that they happen. They are also able to build and guide discussions that involve your brand, and can lead your target audience to important content, leading to a more informed and educated client base. They are crucial towards directing traffic towards your website and driving attention towards your social media, growing your number of online followers and your target audience with it. By being fully informed about the importance of your Community Manager’s importance to your content marketing strategy, your brand identity, and your company as a whole, you will appreciate the value they bring to your team and you will be better able to empower them to do their job as effectively and dynamically as possible. | <urn:uuid:fff090c5-f933-4a31-a620-096c84f9e2b0> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://ignitedigital.com/blog/social-media/what-is-a-community-manager/ | 2021-10-26T08:54:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587854.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026072759-20211026102759-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.95211 | 915 | [

What you need to know:
- Of course the President and Mr Odinga know there was a deal between the President and his deputy on who should be the next president of Kenya.
- And they have treated Mr Kalonzo Musyoka, Mr Musalia Mudavadi and Mr Moses Wetang’ula shabbily.
As President Uhuru Kenyatta declared that his peace deal with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga would be his legacy – a legacy of a united Kenya – the latter played host to an estimated 700-strong delegation of Kikuyu elders at his Bondo home.
That means Mr Odinga’s courtship of the Kikuyu, as he ramps up his yet-to-be-declared charge in the 2022 presidential race, is proceeding apace and in earnest. The community has always given him a wide berth at the polls, to which he returned a backhanded compliment in 2007.
Back then, he ran on the 41-versus-one platform, pitting Kenya’s other communities against the Kikuyu. It ended badly for Kenya, leaving a sore and scar called post-election violence and a trial for the President and Deputy President William Ruto at The Hague for crimes against humanity.
Violence followed the declaration of President Mwai Kibaki the winner of the presidential election and Kenya teetered on the brink of civil war. It was saved by external intervention as its leaders stood petrified by the fighting in which the Kikuyu and Kalenjin were pitted against each another.
But a bond was soon created between these two communities as the co-accused teamed up in 2011 to fight the crimes-against-humanity charges at The Hague and the 2013 General Election at home. But this has since ruptured and a new alliance is emerging.
Cementing the 2018 peace deal between President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga appears to have as its fulcrum Kikuyu support for Mr Odinga’s bid for the presidency in 2022. And that presents an opportunity as well as a pitfall. First, the pitfall.
President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga remember when the centralist Kenya African National Union (Kanu) was founded in 1960.
Kanu’s dominance by the numerically powerful Kikuyu and Luo communities was the reason the rival federalist Kenya African Democratic Union (Kadu) was formed as a grouping for the numerically weaker communities.
This is not 1960. The contentious issue may not be numerical strength. But President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga must do everything possible to ensure their call for a united Kenya indeed means the creation of a truly big tent and not a drive by two communities for the leadership of Kenya.
The President and Mr Odinga are aware that the Kikuyu and Kalenjin have provided Kenya’s first four presidents, with the former leading with three and the latter expecting Number Two in 2022. But this seat must be competed for and not exchanged between political allies.
Of course the President and Mr Odinga know there was a deal between the President and his deputy on who should be the next president of Kenya. But they also know that betrayal is part and parcel of Kenya's king-making and unmaking and it fuels bitterness in individuals and communities, just as elections defeat or theft does.
And that brings us to the treatment of leaders of communities by President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga vis-a-vis the drive for the unity of Kenya. Mr Kenyatta and Mr Odinga have neither time nor space for Dr Ruto.
And they have treated Mr Kalonzo Musyoka, Mr Musalia Mudavadi and Mr Moses Wetang’ula shabbily. Indeed, where are the various faces that portray a national drive to the unity of all of Kenya’s communities? The two should lead the effort with other leaders.
President Kenyatta and Mr Odinga will remember vividly the so-called prayers for national unity that preceded the President's and Dr Ruto's arraignment at The Hague. They were neither prayer meetings nor were they aimed at uniting Kenyans.
These were meetings for ethnic mobilisation against the International Criminal Court.
Mr Odinga was on the opposing side of the push and, indeed, said Mr Kenyatta and Dr Ruto belonged in jail for their part in post-election violence. The two must now avoid a repeat of the above.
Some things bear repeating. Remember I told you that President Kenyatta's legacy was highly likely to be his successor? Right now, and as I have told you, the red-hot favourite is Mr Odinga.
That points to what I have called a managed Kenyatta II succession. | <urn:uuid:2e579015-1167-452e-8802-dbe17e8a4d1a> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://nation.africa/kenya/blogs-opinion/opinion/uhuru-raila-campaign-for-kenya-s-unity-must-include-other-leaders-2483906 | 2021-10-16T06:02:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583423.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016043926-20211016073926-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.976962 | 998 | [

Building off the momentum achieved from global protests against racism and police violence, activists have organized a nationwide labor strike to continue to bring awareness to the economic disparities that are drawn along racial lines in the workforce.
The “Strike for Black Lives” is scheduled to be held on Monday and encourages participants to stop working at noon in all time zones for nearly nine minutes, a symbolic time period that is the same as how long a police officer used his knee to deliver deadly force to George Floyd, a handcuffed Black man killed in the Memorial Day insistent that helped spur the worldwide protests.
While workers across all industry sectors were invited to take part, the strike will focus on those who are deemed as essential workers in the pandemic. They include people such as health care workers and delivery drivers.
According to the “Strike for Black Lives” website, organizers’ were looking to achieve four results from their demands, including: “higher wages, better jobs” that include healthcare for all; elected officials using their power to make that happen; businesses doing their part “to dismantle racism, white supremacy, and economic exploitation wherever it exists, including in our workplaces;” and supporting unions and “the immediate implementation of a $15/hour minimum wage, fully-funded healthcare coverage and paid sick leave for all.”
More than 50 labor unions and groups supporting them have signed on to support the “Strike for Black Lives.”
Participants are being asked to either walk off the job at noon for 8 minutes and 46 seconds, kneel for 8 minutes and 46 seconds wherever they are at noon, or hold 8 minutes and 46 seconds of silence.
The national strike follows Blackout Day, which was held earlier this month when Black people, in particular, were encouraged against spending any money except with Black-owned businesses to show just how much dollars from Black communities are worth to the nation’s economy. Some people were calling on the same thing to happen Monday, as well.
Like the “Strike for Black Lives,” Blackout Day also came with its own set of expectations and demands from its organizers, including: “that we stop being shot down in the streets;” “that racist legislation be purged from the books, and the cancerous ideology that this country was founded upon be rooted out; “that we have equal opportunity to access funding so that we can conduct business and practice group economics amongst ourselves;” “that we are allowed to build our own communities and industries and be left alone; “that you stop murdering our leaders when they attempt to unite us as a people.”
The strike is taking place just a few days after Georgia Rep. and civil rights icon John Lewis died following complications from pancreatic cancer. Lewis was a major proponent for workers’ rights and has over the years championed the same demands that organizers of the “Strike for Black Lives” are calling for. | <urn:uuid:039a5f07-1404-4aba-a51f-3ae9e6571cf9> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://newsone.com/3980158/strike-for-black-lives-demands-end-economic-racism/ | 2021-10-16T05:26:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583423.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016043926-20211016073926-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.974932 | 608 | [

‘Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.’
It must be mid-October as the fireworks are beginning to sound long and loud several evenings a week where I live. The pyrotechnics are now available in the shops and a few early birds are making hay. It all takes me back to schooldays and messing around with fireworks bought with pocket money, and for some mates, paper round profits. It was all a lot less sophisticated in those days of course. The massively powerful explosives on general sale nowadays were not de rigueur but we still had our mischievous fun – oh yes we did!
In those days you were either a ‘Standard Fireworks’ or a ‘Brocks’ kind of person. I was the former and the object of my desire was normally a five shilling assortment of Standards fireworks which I’d take out every evening at home, inspect and re-inspect at regular interval with some pride. Often I’d, amazingly, arrange them on the hearth rug in front of an open coal fire in our family home in Redhill! Penny ‘Bangers’ were the thing being most affordable and whilst some of them proved to be the definitive ‘damp squib’ as far as a minor explosion was concerned, the possibilities for mayhem with them seemed endless. The clue was in the contents and we often decanted the small quantities of gunpowder (that is such a great word to a kid) and used them for other nefarious purposes. One of the most harmless was the simple ‘genie’ – a lit match applied to the miniscule pile of grey powder and a whoosh and a large puff of smoke into the ether – these were days of simple pleasures remember (remember). On another occasion I recall some friends fashioning a home made rifle from some plumbing pipes and a planed down block of wood and having the contents of several Bangers emptied into the ‘chamber’ of the deadly firearm. . I’m not particularly sure what we hoped to achieve but what did happenwas that the plucky volunteer marksman’s eyebrows were blown off on it’s first and only test run. Back to the drawing board.
Once in a while somebody would have found the money for the much superior ‘Atom bomb’ firework. It was much more expensive than the modest Banger and was usually spoken of in hushed terms, ‘so-and-so’s got an Atom Bomb – when’s he letting it off, Wednesday, Thursday?’ This was quite an event I can assure you and awaited with baited breath.
Penny for the guy, missus?
Cash had to be found for our pastime and making a ‘Guy’ and parading him in public for pennies was a big revenue stream for us boys. Old clothes would be begged and borrowed and stuffing for the body made from old rags and scrunched up newspapers and magazines. The fact that some of the clothing was somewhat incongruent was lost on us and I’m sure there must have been some interesting 1960s fashions sported on many a pavement around the town we lived. Making the Guy could be a time consuming job and therefore someone had the brainwave that one of us should just dress up in the old clothes instead. The question was, who to do it? Of course we chose the ‘volunteer’ democratically by forcing the smallest kid who was an asthmatic to do it. Fair enough. Very convincing sitting there on the local newsagent’s shop doorway, oh yes indeed until the Guy would emit a loud and totally unpredicted asthmatic cough and rattle every once in a while, giving a passing pensioner a near heart attack.
it’s amazing to think of what we found valuable in those days. For many weeks on end the gathering of garden rubbish for the huge local bonfire ensued and I often think what a fantastic service this must have been for the local residents. It wasn’t unusual to spot half a tree mysteriously making it’s way down the road with an invisible small boy underneath it somewhere. Around the town and before the days of bonfire night parties held on pub premises there would be several examples of these large bonfires growing ever higher and wider as November 5th came closer. it was all pretty competitive too with boys actually stealing material from each other’s bonfires to add to their own pyre. Lookouts and guards were often assigned to make sure the petty pilfering didn’t occur in your own back yard, so to speak. it was all very intense and serious with blows sometimes being exchanged.
Everything imaginable went on these bonfires, ludicrously so with the benefit of hindsight. One particular year someone had the ‘excellent’ idea of arranging a series of car tyres inside the fire. Come the night and the product of that was several neighbouring windows of the ‘green’ being fractured one by one due to the intense heat they provided. There were small boys being toasted that night. The big night also provided food hopefully. it wasn’t so much the corporate beef burger or hot dog of today but rather chestnuts, baked potatoes in foil, mushy peas and best of all ‘bonfire toffee’ which my mum was an absolute ace in making! I can still taste that dark brown, treacly loveliness!
The tastes, smells and sounds of Bonfire Night or the slightly more effete as we saw it ‘Guy Fawkes Night’ still live on for me. I’d love to recreate it in some way and always check out the local events around the area. It just doesn’t seem the same though and that’s probably just the way it should be. I’ll probably attend the huge Nottingham City Council municipal affair on the Forest recreation ground and watch for thirty minutes as thousands of pounds of electrically operated explosives pulse into the sky for twenty minutes then go to the pub. It’s not the same as those days of dragging branches around the streets for weeks, dressing Guys, letting off Bangers and having a sticky pocket full of that delicious bonfire toffee but it’s probably a whole lot safer.

We’re making WordPress internationalization a whole lot easier by producing over 35 translation ready themes coded for localization, multilingual usage, and right-to-left language support.
We’ve updated all of our existing stock WordPress themes so they’re translation ready and we’re going to make sure all future stock themes support easy translations and RTL content presentation.
My Confusion on WordPress Internationalization
We should have done this a long time ago and this is fully my fault for not recognizing the magnitude of this issue. I honestly didn’t understand what we were lacking, the gap of WordPress internationalization within our community, or that so many of our existing theme buyers were coming from outside of the United States.
If I look at the last ten theme sales we’ve done I see that half were international sales. As I look at those numbers I can’t help but notice that I’ve been living in a state of denial. Well me and the rest of the WordPress developers.
If 50% of our product sales are internationally based, then I need to spend time making sure these buyers are being taken care of and clearly I wasn’t. I was expecting this to be handled by Genesis, the WordPress core, or translation plugins.
I didn’t realize how badly I was ignoring the needs of our international customer base. And for that, I am truly sorry.
And So Began My Education into Producing Translation Ready Themes
On October 23, 2014 Gary Jones pinged me through Skype and asked if our stock themes supported RTL style sheets. I quickly admitted my ignorance and said we don’t do anything more than what was already provided by the Genesis Framework. Oh what a fool I was back in October.
Note I included the year there because I’m thoroughly annoyed this
conversation revelation happened in 2014 and not at the beginning of 2012 when we first launched our theme store. But I digress…back to my story.
Gary, being the kind coder soul that he is, tried to educate me on the need for more RTL ready WordPress themes. He started talking about Grunt and the generation of style-rtl.css files and function usage and he full on lost me. Thankfully I was headed out to WordCamp San Francisco that day so I had to jump on a plane, which let my head rest for a moment.
Gary said he’d keep me in the loop. And he did.
This discussion moved forward by bringing me into a small group of internationalization focused developers that included Nir Rosenbaum and Carrie Dils. Carrie is my WordPress BFF, so she was a natural fit for me. I had not met Nir previously, but Gary made the introduction and the four of us were soon off and running like a herd of turtles.
Nir also tried to educate me on the need for RTL and what other items we were missing in our themes. Again, this talk of code was lost on me. I’m the business owner and marketer and not the coder. So I went momentarily quiet, because Chris Cree was the WSM team member who should truly get involved with this discussion and he was on a three week trip overseas. It was obvious I was over my head in code talk and I was utterly confused.
On October 29 Carrie popped into my email and came to my rescue. It was a simple email that simply said she had my back should I need help. And I did, so Carrie become a short-term WSM team member.
Now remember these themes are my babies. Giving anyone access to their Github repositories is like giving them access to my most personal items. If I didn’t know and love Carrie as much as I do, I would never have even considered the idea. But this was Carrie and I’ve literally detoured business trips so I could spend the day with her in Dallas. I knew I could trust her with my digital children and they would be safe in her coding hands.
So I unlocked my Github doors and let her in. She collaborated with Gary and Nir on my behalf and she updated all 35+ WordPress themes to make them translation ready and RTL friendly.
As I type this post, Chris Cree is now back in the states. Upon his return he was tasked with quickly working to update our change logs and store files for all of these updates. To say he was slightly surprised by the activity that occurred in his absence is an understatement.
Let me say this – I cannot believe how much has changed in just a few short weeks. All because four people, located within three different countries, saw a need and a way to push our WordPress community forward. All because three people, who really care about WordPress and the Genesis Framework, took the time to educate me and get me on board.
Thanks to them we not only have a huge amount of translation ready themes, I now understand what the terms i18n, right-to-left, and localization mean and why they are so important.
Why We’re Focusing on WordPress Internationalization
If you attended WordCamp San Francisco or read any of the press surrounding it, you’ll know that translating WordPress for non-English speaking countries is vital to the growth and maturity of the community.
Here are is why WordPress internationalization is a major discussion point right now:
- WordPress is used by over 23% of the world’s websites
- WordPress captures 61% of the CMS usage worldwide
- Only 5-10% of the world speaks English (WordPress’ primary market currently)
- 51 locales of WordPress are up-to-date with the current version of WordPress yet 64 locales do not yet have a package available
- 2014 was the first year non-English downloads surpassed English downloads of WordPress
- As of April, English downloads of WordPress accounted for only 42.6% of total usage
Here are two quotes from a recent Matt Mullenweg post that directly relates to the WordPress internationalization:
Internationalization will be a big focus of the coming year, including fully-localized plugin and theme directories on language sites and embedded on dashboard in version 4.1, which is coming out December 10th.
The mission of WordPress is to democratize publishing, which means access for everyone regardless of language, geography, gender, wealth, ability, religion, creed, or anything else people might be born with.
What You’ll Find in Our New Translation Ready Themes
When talking about WordPress internationalization (i18n), Carrie defined it as the process of creating theme files that are easily translatable. Developers do this by marking any “front-facing” text strings in a way that makes them easy to extract later on.
What? I know. So let me translate this into Rebecca terms. Our WordPress themes now provide the following support for international users:
- i18n Ready – Our themes are all fully-translation ready and come with a .pot file as well as English version .mo and .po files. The .pot file can be used to translate the theme into the language of your choice. We don’t provide the actual translation (we’re not multilingual enough), but you have the tools needed to localize the theme (l10n).
- RTL Support – Each stock theme comes with an additional RTL stylesheet, so the theme can support languages in both right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR) presentations. By creating an RTL stylesheet, the theme can “flip” certain elements so they appear correctly when used with an RTL language.
Files included are:
- POT File – A file with i18n ready strings.
- en_US.po File – A file with translated strings and English strings.
- en_US.mo File – A file converted to a format optimized to be read by machines.
- RTL Style Sheet – Overwrites horizontal positioning attributes of your CSS stylesheet in a separate stylesheet file named rtl.css.
When I look at those bullet points above, it doesn’t seem like there is a lot there. But there is a whole lot of internationalization support that was duplicated 35+ times. That equates to five people and lots of coding and discussion time.
I hope our efforts will make your website creation a lot easier and that this brings more international users into my beloved WordPress community.
There is a whole world of website users that do not have English as their primary language and it’s time for them to fall in love with WordPress and for our community to welcome them with open arms.
Thank You Just Isn’t Enough
An extremely large thank you goes out to Carrie Dils, Gary Jones and Nir Rosenbaum for their collaboration and hard work. Updating all of our themes for use in international WordPress deployments would not have been possible without their efforts. They didn’t just approach me on the idea, they all worked very hard to make sure it happened and it was executed quickly.
If you wondered why I spent so much time in this post talking about the story behind the change, here is why:
Open source software, and particularly WordPress, is about community. This was a community project that was executed for the greater good of the community.
It is actions of this type that make our community strong and make us unstoppable. And it is why I love WordPress so and why I’m excited that we’ll be helping share WordPress with more users throughout the world. | <urn:uuid:5d7cb9c4-41f3-4f63-b3d1-a42e4930e014> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.web-savvy-marketing.com/blog/wordpress-internationalization/ | 2021-10-16T05:14:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323583423.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016043926-20211016073926-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.945578 | 1,996 | [

Arlington [US], October 6 (ANI): An 18-year-old has been identified as a suspect in Wednesday's shooting at a school in Texas, the US in which at least four people sustained injuries, local media reported.
The incident took place on Wednesday morning at Timberview High School in Arlington, Texas. Three victims were students and one was an older person who may have been a teacher, police said.
"The gunman, identified as 18-year-old Timothy George Simpkins, reportedly fled the school in a 2018 silver Dodge Charger with the Texas license plate PFY6260 after the shooting," reported Fox 11 citing authorities.
Two of the victims suffered gunshot wounds, police said adding that three of the four victims were hospitalized.
Multiple agencies including the US Marshals are looking for him and he should be considered armed and dangerous, police said.
Arlington police confirmed the school shooting started as a fight between a student and another individual around 9:15 am (local time).
Three people were shot and taken to the hospital. A pregnant teacher was also hurt in a fall but was treated at the scene, reported Fox 11 citing police.
The Mansfield Independent School District said the campus was placed on lockdown during the incident. All students and staff were locked in their classrooms and offices and no visitors were allowed on campus.

After a trying few months, we are finally ready to unveil the next update for Bright Engine. As we stated in our last patch notes, this update series is all about moving the engine away from world editing, toward gameplay systems. As such strap yourself in, because we are about to go through a whirlwind of new features, improvements and bug fixes!
If you are interested in Bright Engine and want to snag up a free copy you are welcome to join the Discord community Ask questions to existing testers, get real time development progress updates or even download the engine to try it out for yourself!
Before we dive into the technical stuff, we’d like to give a shout out to our awesome community who have helped get Bright Engine working on Linux! While there is yet to be a dedicated build for the Linux platform, if you are using it, you can now play with Bright Engine without having to wait any longer!
First up, a brand new Project Launcher. Over the last few months, we’ve had growing complaints from the community over having to constantly search for the project file when booting up the engine. These were well founded since even we, the developers found it annoying. Thankfully those days are over!
The project launcher allows you to quickly open your projects in an instant, while also making the process of creating a new project simpler to understand!
With a more streamlined project loading system in place, we next turned our attention to world building tools. While this is not the primary focus of this update series, we noticed a rather glaring problem: You could only select one object at a time. Well, not anymore! Multi-object selection is now fully functional, along with a brand new Grouping System and Rotation Methods!
By holding the Shift Key (Default) you can select multiple objects of different types at the same time and perform transformations on them concurrently. To further extend this, enter the Grouping System. This is a method of saving previous selections if the user wishes to, that way in the future, if they think they might need to edit that specific collection of objects again, they can select the group instead which will select all the objects for them!
In addition to this, new Rotation methods have been implemented, that allow for a more extended transformation tool box! (This subsequently meant we had to rewrite the code for the 3d cursor and in doing so were able to remove 120 lines of code)
There are three rotation methods:
- Median Point
- Individual Origins
- Primary Point
We recently introduced Reflection Probes in version 0.1.5b which were adjusted slightly so that their indicators in the world aren’t so huge anymore while also fixing the weird visual bug where strange shadows from the SSAO pass were still being applied
But more importantly, that came with a Baking Suite which has now been extended to Shadows. You can now Bake your shadows on any light source placed in the world! This has plenty of optimisation opportunities for developers and is completely optional per light source. Meaning that you could have a combination of baked and dynamic shadow light sources!
In terms of bringing the world more alive, enter Waypoints. Waypoints are a method of creating paths for objects to follow, when used in combination with scripting they allow for all sorts of crazy creations, from NPC’s walking along a road, to advanced camera movements in a cutscene!
Each waypoint can be a part of an unlimited amount of paths which any object can follow, switch to or jump off of.
The shape of the paths can be determined by the user, with the options between Linear straight lines, great for mechanical movements for something like a robot, and Bezier which gives a more natural smooth movement which humans or cameras tend to follow!
Currently only lights can be attached to paths since this is part one of the waypoint implementations, but by the end of this update series, we intend to have any object capable of using a path. This would include: Lights, Models, Cameras, Emitters, Sound Sources, Reflection Probes, Collision Fields and so on.
When developing the waypoint system we wanted to keep its design compatible with our future scripting update and therefore a new tool had to be created: The Property Manager.
The property manager is a tool which allows you to assign… well… properties to an object. These properties can then be accessed and edited by scripts. An example would be something like a Characters health points. All you would need to do is create a new property set in the Property Manager, add a Property called “Health” and then assign that property to the object in question, either in the Editor or via a script. It takes about 15 seconds by our count.
But what has this got to do with Waypoints? Well, objects moving along a path require a speed value which is set via the Property Manager, the advantage in doing this, is you could have two objects moving along the same path at different speeds.
Alternatively, you can enable the override speed on the path itself which will force all objects on the path to move at the set speed.
Our last new addition to the engine, was one to improve user experience, specifically when it came to color selection. In older versions you had to manually enter an RGB value each time, which for most wasn’t a problem, but it slows things down. To get around this, we have introduced a proper color selection tool!
Aside from making color selection much more visual, you are now able to copy+paste hexadecimal color codes, as well as use a color picking tool that allows you to select a color from anywhere on your screen, whether it be a color from the scene you are editing in Bright, or a reference photo you have open on the side!
Changes & Improvements
For those who have been following our progress so far, you may have noticed we like to get our lighting as advanced as possible. Afterall, so much of modern PBR rendered is dependent on good lighting. So as usual we still weren’t happy with our lighting system.
We started out with some basic improvements. Lights now slowly fade out as they reach their maximum render range rather than popping out of existence (which is optional for those who like the pop) and we changed how the color data was passed on to the GPU resulting in a small performance boost.
But those are not the star of the show, for we added something much more special: The Timeline Editor.
Previous versions of the engine had a collection of flickering settings. These allowed for variations in light strength to create a flickering effect for more atmospheric lighting. The Timeline Editor has replaced this system entirely. It actually does the same thing as the older system, the difference however, is now every light setting can be varied, including color!
This new tool opens up a whole new collection of design opportunities and lighting once again has been drastically improved. Despite this, I'm certain in the future we’ll find more ways to improve lighting even more!
Next on the improvement list was Terrain. Our existing terrain painting system is rather decent (we think so anyways) but there were some old school tools which never made it into the original terrain painting update, specifically Vertex Color Painting. While it's not a tool used by many, used well and subtly, it can create some really impressive results…. Or you can do what we did, and make Repulsion Gel from Portal 2 :P
This vertex painting suite was further extended into the Dynamic foliage system. Using vertex colors you can add subtle variations in color across a single foliage layer which adds an extra layer of realism!
But aside from that fun stuff, the texture painting needed more work. We want Bright Engine to be able to create photo-realistic results and terrain in its current form, just couldn’t quite do that and we pinned it down to one thing: Blending. Up to this point Terrain has been rendered with linear blending between layers, which in-combination with alpha masks, can create good results. We we want great results and so we’ve added an entirely new blending method for you to use, if you so wish. Height Based Blending.
This method takes the data from a heightmap for each texture layer and uses that to calculate which layer should be on top (unlike linear where layer 2 is on top of layer 1, layer 3 is on top of layer 2 etc). The result allows for much more realistic blending results. Effects like sand filling up the cracks between rocks is now completely possible!
But adjusting height map data can be a pain, so we’ve added height modifiers to the settings which allow you to move layers forcibly on top of each other. If used in conjunction with scripting, effects such as snow or puddle accumulation is now completely possible and the results look great!
Using brush strength, you can get a nice variation of height throughout your layer, so if you want a specific patch where snow fully covers rocks and another where it doesn’t, that's perfectly possible as well!
The last system that got some TLC this update is the Hierarchy Panel. Up to this point, it was more of a nuisance than a helpful tool and we think it was due to the fact that it became a clustered mess in complex scenes with 1000’s of objects. So we gave it a complete makeover!
It's got a much more fluid interface which fits better with the rest of the editor, as well as a brand new collection of organisational tools! You are now able to create folders within the Hierarchy and organise your objects accordingly. Furthermore whenever placing objects within the scene you can select which folder they should be placed in, within the hierarchy to automate the process in future.
In terms of editor performance, despite this not being the primary focus of the update, we did make some improvements. After adding more barrels to the stress test scene, the fps dropped to 43. We tweaked the methods of which data was being accessed and cut the number of cpu cycles along with altering how Vertex Buffers were being created for dynamic foliage, diagnostic, and instancing render calls. The result was a lovely boost back up to 62 fps!
We were also able to adjust the time of day calculations along with the auto saving system. All these changes put together amounted to around 400 lines of code being removed and each system subsequently working more efficiently.
As a final tweak, we updated New Zone creation to have a default skybox set up so new users aren’t met with a black screen, and fixed the bug where clouds weren’t being affected by the time of day modifiers
- Fixed bug where particle IDs were not being correctly written to the dat file
- Fixed various shader bugs where some shaders were unable to compile correctly on AMD cards
- Fixed bug where the UI for Reflection Probes was not updating correctly when a state was selected
- Fixed bug where Reflection Probes could not be Removed from a scene
- Fixed bug where deleting an emitter would cause a crash
- Fixed bug where the Project Emitters file wasn't being closed by the Editor after reading causing a memory leak
- Fixed bug where toggling the visibility of certain objects wasn't being saved
- Fixed bug where scaling a Terrain Object with the 3D cursor would cause a crash
- Fixed bug where clicking on the Reflection Probe UI components sometimes caused the camera to stop working
- Fixed bug where circle Brush does not fill in the cross, giving wrong results when sculpting and when painting
- Fixed bug where circle Brush caused a crash if it was used on the East edge of an Unrotated Terrain Chunk
- Fixed bug where changing a terrain texture would not update the Icon box unless the mouse hovered over it
- Fixed bug where weather sun light color modifier is incorrectly loaded
- Fixed bug where newly created reflection probes are still being fed the texture data of the last reflection probe in the render loop
- Fixed bug where a Model which wasn't casting AO was still being fed incorrect AO data
- Fixed bug where reflection probes were receiving incorrect AO data
- Fixed bug where the Panels were not being resized correctly when the Editor window was resized.
- Fixed bug where the group box order of settings kept being mixed up when selecting different types of objects after each other
- Fixed bug where clicking on an item in a drop down menu would trigger object selection in the scene
- Fixed bug where switching off point light shadows sometimes caused weird visual artefacts
- Fixed bug where switching off point light shadows would also disable spot light shadows
- Fixed bug where performing a right click on the Editor UI while object placement mode was entered caused strange results
- Fixed bug where mouse button processes were still being triggered outside the viewport area
- Fixed bug where objects would move incredibly quickly when being transformed with Grid Movement Enabled
- Fixed bug where the 3D cusor's position didn't update when an object was moved via the UI rather than the 3D cursor
- Fixed bug where moving a Model using the UI rather than 3D cursor did not update the position of the object in the SSAO pass giving strange shadow results
- Fixed bug where the camera speed and camera view range were inverted
- Fixed bug where cancelling a move operation with a Right Click didn't reset the position of the 3D cursor
- Fixed bug where deleting a terrain that was created using a Heightmap and then immediately removing it caused a crash
- Fixed bug where creating a new terrain then closing the editor, would cause the terrain to double in size the next time the zone was loaded.
We have made some excellent progress in this latest update but the mission continues. We plan on continuing the toolbox beyond world building. Aside from the continuation of waypoints, audio and cameras are going to be next on the list along with a complete overhaul for the particle system and some further improvements to post processing! | <urn:uuid:3ff222bd-3469-4d7b-bf1a-e18254ef51bb> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.indiedb.com/news/v016a | 2021-10-19T06:58:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585242.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20211019043325-20211019073325-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.94824 | 2,871 | [

Well, after months of speculation and rumors, FCA has finally announced Ram will soon have a competitor for the Ford F-150 Raptor – the Ram TRX. Now that the automaker has a new Ram 1500 platform available, the company is looking to expand its trim and offerings in hopes of gobbling up more market share. One way to do that – and please truck enthusiasts at the same time – is to aim at its domestic rival Ford.
While the announcement is welcomed news – in a day filled with an assortment of product news from Jeep, Alfa Romeo, and Maserati – details are still just as scarce as ever before. Back in April, 5thGenRams reported there could be two new truck models – a toned down TR and the performance-oriented TRX. There’s been no mentioned of the TR.
Ram first hinted at an off-road performance truck back in 2016 with the Ram Rebel TRX concept. That was a 575-horsepower study designed to gauge the public’s interest. Considering Ram has confirmed we’re getting the TRX interest must have been high. Also, such a vehicle would allow the automaker to pad its profit margins, too.
While the TRX concept boasted a plenty powerful V8 engine, the production version is rumored to pack the full fury of the 707-horsepower Hellcat engine. It will be similar to the setup found in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk in that engineers were able to strengthen various driveline components for the added power.
It's only a matter of time before we see the TRX. It should be before 2022 as Ram has laid out its five-year plan today from Italy. There’s already been a concept, and with the Raptor being the only off-road performance truck of its caliber on the market, we doubt Ram will want to wait to cash in on joining the competition. | <urn:uuid:013a050d-9bf0-4129-9be7-7178e18d7ad1> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.motor1.com/news/243787/ram-1500-trx-production/ | 2021-10-20T16:27:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585322.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020152307-20211020182307-00112.warc.gz | en | 0.96556 | 395 | [

Life and Work
Hilda was born in Buxton, North Dakota on July 03, 1891. Her parents, Jone and Aaste Knudsvig, emigrated from the County of Telemark, Norway. Hilda was fourth in a family of ten (seven girls and three boys.)
In 1908 the Knudsvig family move to Bergen, Alberta. John Alfred Mjolsness accompanied the Knudsvig family on this move and in the doing started a lovely romance with Hilda that culminated in marriage in Bergen on August 15, 1911.
Hilda and John lived for seventeen years in Didsbury, Alberta where John was the town electrical engineer and ran the powerhouse. During these years Hilda and John’s seven children were born. With the coming of the Calgary Power Company and the Great Depression of the thirties, the family moved first to Red Deer (1928), then to Innisfail (1929) and back to Bergen in 1932 until John’s tragic death in 1938.
In the fall of 1939, Hilda moved to Edmonton and lived there for the next fifteen years, watching over her family as the children married and dispersed. On July 14, 1954, Hilda married David Bryce and settled on the Bryce farm on Oldfield Road, out of Victoria on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. After ten happy and active years together, David died in 1964.
Hilda suffered a stroke in 1966. Her remaining sixteen years were not easy, but in her usual style Hilda met them with courage, spirit and deep religious faith. These extra years gave her grandchildren and her great grandchildren the very special opportunity and privilege to know “Grandma” and “Great Grandma”. Confined to a wheelchair and unable to speak; she was aware, knowledgeable and outreaching, as always. Her constant strength, courage and deep faith not only sustained her through the years but were an inspiration to her family and the many friends who came to visit and share memories of yesteryear and the affairs of the day.
No brief history of time and place can hope to capture the fullness and richness of the life of woman like Hilda, as she met the challenges of a pioneering existence, a large family, the premature death of her first husband, and the dramatic changes wrought in the twentieth century; a woman who achieved two happy marriages and created homes renowned for their warmth and generous hospitality. She has given love unstintingly; she has given understanding, no matter the circumstance; she has lightened the burdens with humor and taught us all the value of faith.
Visits and letters were a vital part of Hilda’s life-stream that kept her head high and her spirit undaunted. To know about…to be aware of… to have a vivid picture of the births, weddings the growing up, the making of careers, the travels, the joys and the sorrows of her extended family and great network of friends was the very essence of Hilda’s character. Knowing and caring; loving and compassionate; sensitive and wise… Hilda was a strong yet gentle woman; a grace on earth. Her presence and embrace are our blessing. | <urn:uuid:66dd1ee7-de03-4404-8821-49c5ad6ccf61> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://centralmuseumsab.ca/view/185/hilda-(knudsvig)mjolsness-bryce | 2021-10-22T03:54:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585450.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022021705-20211022051705-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.963944 | 658 | [

The first full moon of the new decade is set to occur on Friday — and it will be accompanied by a lunar eclipse.
Dubbed the “wolf moon” in Native American culture, the illuminating presence will be partially shrouded by Earth’s outer shadow, according to AccuWeather. However, while the moon will appear a tad darker, the difference will likely be “subtle,” according to the weather agency.
The moon will be in its home sign, Cancer. I am a Cancer, I feel lucky.

The Hashtag: A word or phrase preceded by a hash mark (#), used within a message to identify a keyword or topic of interest and facilitate a search for it.
It seems, within today’s modern world, the idea of a society which is not completely interconnected and collectively influential is unfathomable and even somewhat frightening. What was the world without internet? What was a day without cell phones or computers? How did people communicate, or meet, or get directions, or stay entertained?
We have adapted to our modern world with ease, familiarizing ourselves with new technologies and social impacts every day. Certain trends have faded into the world of retro-vintage ancient history, while others have stood the test of time. Since the recent dawn of social media, the world has become significantly smaller. And when Twitter introduced the hashtag in 2007, a new trend was born. It was arguably the most powerful tool on the internet, and perhaps still is.
Chris Messina, co-founder of the company BarCamp, was officially the first Twitter user to introduce and to actively “use” the hashtag as a means for guiding conversations among groups of people. The concept was initially frowned upon, both by general consumer consensus and by Twitter founders Ev Williams and Biz Stone themselves. The founders were uncertain of the potential for the emblem’s impact. They didn’t wholly believe it would catch on. “That stuff is never going to catch on,” they said. “We’re going to build algorithms, we’re going to figure it out, and you won’t have to use hashtags at all. We got it covered.” As it turns out, the hashtag proved itself a worthy tool when friend of Messina Nate Ritter used the hashtag to tweet about the spread of 2007 San Diego forest fires. The trend caught on. Rather than simply existing as a social-circle engine, the hashtag became a source of live news coverage. It proved itself.
From there the hashtag only grew, becoming a worldwide phenomenon. The tool was used to collectively have a conversation about what was important to us, or what was popular in the world. The hashtag was certainly not under-appreciated once it became commonplace. Advertisers began to see the massive potential of the tool. Using the hashtag to follow what was popular among consumers was only the beginning. Soon companies began to pay for their hashtags to become viral, hoping to promote their products or services on a grand scale. It worked. The hashtag became a common visual piece on everyone’s texts. Our tweets were retweeted more. Our followers grew. Other companies, such as Instagram and Facebook began to use the hashtag, utilizing to its full potential the powerful keystroke. Television shows present hashtags during airtime, hoping to grab a larger audience. Some websites, like hashtracking.com, even offer services with which you can track the most influential tags at any given time.
What exists today is a sort of new universal language, so-to-speak. Using a hashtag can instantaneously connect you with people on the other side of the world. People can quite literally become famous using a single hashtag. This article itself could go viral just because of the hashtags used in its publication on twitter. It is quite arguably the most powerful tool in mainstream technology today. Governments certainly have begun to use the tool to their advantage as well, be it for the benefit of society, or for other sinister intentions. It’s important to pay attention now, with the strength behind this emblem, to the way we use it. As technology advances further, and the world becomes even smaller, everything we say, and everything we tag, belongs to the entire civilized world. | <urn:uuid:51d7c177-7499-40a0-81a0-a79991ad7676> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.manhattandigest.com/2013/11/25/hashtag-powerful-tool-internet/ | 2021-10-22T03:09:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585450.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022021705-20211022051705-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.969489 | 769 | [

Snowdrift Lit Trees is rated 4.8 out of 5 by 51.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Goforit from These trees have brought great joy These simple classic white birch trees invoke the beauty of winter. The person who said the white wires at the base intruded missed what I think is their greatest attraction: the wires can be shaped into an undulating mound at the bottom and offer contrast to the vertical lines of the trees. I hope they'll be back in stock soon, as I'd like to give them to others as a gift.

Easily assembled, beautifully wrapped, and exudes warm yellow lighting. True about the exposed white wiring. Just need a creative camouflage like fake snow or garland. Wish I could buy one for all my windows.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Pats from Beautiful Trees Although not sold as birch trees, they are and remind me of my grandfather. Every time I see them, I have to smile remembering his love for birch trees. When he died I planted a birch in his honor. I plan to display them not matter the season - right now they look great with fall accessories. They will be spectacular for winter.

EGYPTIAN TANTRIC REIKI LIGHT BODY ACTIVACION
MORE THAN 10 ATTUNEMENTS
IMAGINE A PYRAMIND TO BE IN MADE OF GOLDEN LIGHT
Ankh is traditionally known as the giver of life and is associated with the feminine. In the Egyptian Tantra, The Ankh is the pathway at orgasm to the highest dimensions.
In ancient Egypt the human being was composed of different entities or elements, each had separate life and its functions. Kha, Ha or Haw - the physical body
Ka-the life force of the person or his double
Ba - the soul
Za-the divine higher self
Akhu (Akh, Khu, Ikhu) - The immortal part that emerged after the trial of death, and the ka and ba together. As the soul is the part of the person that lives after the body dies. What bright spark of divine fire.
Sahu - the spirit of the person left after the judgment in the afterlife.
Ra, the sun god
Kheper-the god of immortality which is represented in a beetle
Horus was the son of Isis and Osiris
Isis was the Egyptian goddess of motherhood and fertility. She is presently working with our crystalline bodies of light. As we ascend, the more energy flows through us. Isis is here to help with the changes. Not only the physical, mental and emotional as well. In his words ... "the things do not happen to you, things happen for you." Its energy strengthens inner power.
Mer is given as instruction to actualize the Ascension process, unveiling the path out of the duality. Mer is for learning how to combine the positive and negative into Oneness, unleashing the Light which rises and begins the healing of the rest of the body, be it Person, Earth, or Universe. Mer is the very first step in Becoming Self Aware.
Mer and Sexual Tantra
Combining Sexual and Spiritual bio-feedback with a reciprocating partner animates Kundalini. It is the attitude of Mer which enables the individual to attain the balanced use of the left and right brain hemispheres at the same Time. It is also the attitude of Mer that enables the Energies of two people, simultaneously, into The Light of the same Portal.
The fire Sekhem destroys the nature of the former and at the same time produces new life. This shows the nature of transition to unconditional love.
Kepher is the principle of becoming in this new life, and of the transformations corresponding to the phases of all Genesis, life in birthing. Mer, and Sekhem, working in harmony with a state of detached discretion (out of your way) that offers an impulse of Wisdom, capturing a ray of light, and recognizing the true path. Djet is the kundalini awakening.
In many cultures SHENU, the circle was a symbol of "eternity." Such symbolism is evident in familiarities such as the wedding ring of Western cultures, the Gnostic ourobouros and the ying-yang of China.
It represents the thymus area, or the higher heart. Ab means desire. Ib means thirst. The two together represent a whole thought of thirst/desire relative to the energy of Kepher and of Tekh. If we begin to understand that the higher powers work together to form and complement each other.
So, we have Ab which is the reverse or reflection of Ba which we know means the soul or astral body, and we have Ib which is about the thymus. Tekh (3rd eye and absorption), relative to Kepher (solar plexus).
Seshat represents the pineal gland and its association with the other powers. The pineal gland holds the Intelligence of the Heart and functions with the Wisdom of Love. Seshat is the female counterpart of Thoth who represents the Keeper of Wisdom and is the Neter of writing and record keeping. Seshat means seven which represents the Potential and is key in Manifesting.
The Egyptian Ancients had it figured somewhat about orgasm, instead of orgasming up or down they would focus on bringing the energy to the Kepher or Solar Plexus and sending it out the back in a circular motion to the top of the head, 8th chakra, or higher self, and then back into the front of the Solar Plexus.
This brings us back to the idea of Mer, or the combining of the male and female principles of the individual in order to unite two individuals into Oneness and approach the Portal. If we are functioning in the old paradigm of comparing and subtracting, we miss this opportunity for Ascension.

VERY POWERFUL SYSTEM FOR SOUL-SPIRITUAL-HEALING
(Egyptian: nḫ-f-n-ḫnsw), also known as Ankh-af-na-khonsu, was a priest of the Egyptian god Mentu who lived in Thebes during the 25th and 26th dynasty (c. 725 BCE). He was the son of Bes-en-Mut and Ta-neshet.
Meaning of the name
"A translation of the name might be close to the following: Ankh is both a tool and a symbol meaning 'new life.' “eternal life” The line af is always part of another word that provides force strength. The word, na is generally used as a preposition, such as 'to, for, belonging to, through, or for the reason that.' Khonsu was the adopted son of Amun and Mut from the Theban triad. His name comes from a word meaning, 'to cross over' or 'wanderer' or 'he who traverses.' So, his entire name may be translated as 'the truth that has crossed over.'
The Stela of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu
The Stela of Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu (Cairo A 9422 [formerly Bulaq 666])is a painted, wooden offering stele, discovered in the 1858 at the mortuary temple of Hatshepsut at Dayr al-Bahri
"...has left the multitudes and retorts those who are in the light, he has opened the dwelling place of the stars; now then, the deceased, Ankh-af-na-khonsu has gone forth by day in order to do everything that pleased him upon earth, among the living."
Cairo Stela A 9422: Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu is the figure standing on the right.
The Obverse Side
The Front of the Stele contains the following:
Nuit frames the curved top. She is the Goddess of the Night Sky.
Hadit, the winged solar disc, with the inscription, “the great god, Lord of the sky.”
Horus, the hawk-headed solar god, sits on his throne. The inscription reads, “Ra-hoor-khuit, chief of the gods.”
Ankh-af-na-khonsu stands prior to Horus. His inscription reads, “The deceased, priest of Mentu, Lord of Thebes, the justified one for whom the doors of the sky are opened in Karnack, Ankh-f-n-khonsu.”
The Altar, which contains offerings, shows bread, beer, cattle and fowl.
The main body of text is a prayer to Ra-Hoor-Khuit. According to more modern interpretation, it says:
The words spoken by the Osiris (i.e. the deceased), the priest of Monthu, Lord of Thebes, the one who opens the doors of the sky in Karnack, the justified Ankh-f-n-Khonsu—
"O High One, may He be praised, the Great One of power, the spirit of great dignity, who brings fear of himself to the gods, who shines forth upon his throne—
Make open the way for my soul, my spirit, and my shadow, for I am equipped so that I might shine forth as an equipped one, make open the way for me to the place where Ra, Atum, Kheper, and Hathor are."
The deceased, priest of Monthu, Lord of Thebes, the justified Ankh-f-n-Khonsu, the son of the man with the same titles, Bes-en-mut, and the son of the musician of Amun-Re, the mistress of the house Taneshi."
The Reverse Side
The reverse side, which is covered with hieroglyphs, is the following prayer:
Words are spoken by the Osiris, priest of Monthu, Lord of Thebes, the justified Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu.
"O my heart of my mother (two times), O my heart while I am upon earth, do not rise up against me—as my witness, do not oppose me in the tribunal, do not be hostile against me in the presence of the Great God, Lord of the West.
Although I have joined myself to the earth in the great western side of the sky, may I endure upon earth."
Words spoken by the Osiris, the priest of Thebes, the justified Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu—
"O Unique One, who shines as the moon, may the deceased, Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu, go forth among your multitide (this to the outside)—O deliverer of those who are in the sunshine, open for him the Netherworld (the Daat)—indeed the Osiris, Ankh-ef-en-Khonsu, shall go forth by day to do that which he wills upon the earth and among the living."

Oil jumps 12% to $33 as June futures contract nears expiration
Oil & Gas 360, May 18, 2020
West Texas Intermediate for June delivery jumped more than 12% on Monday to a two-month high, one day ahead of the contract’s expiration, as production cuts and the easing of stay-at-home restrictions supported prices. “Producers are significantly throttling back output and, with demand increasing, the market is on a slow path towards recovery,” said Rystad Energy’s senior oil markets analyst Paola Rodriguez Masiu. “Faced with meager demand and unattractive low prices, production curtailments came faster and deeper than initially anticipated.” WTI, the U.S. benchmark, surged 11.6%, or $3.43, to trade at $32.86 per barrel. International benchmark Brent crude, which has already rolled to the July contract, traded 7.5% higher at $34.93 per barrel. Monday’s jump is in sharp contrast to just one month ago when, on the day before the contract for May delivery expired, prices plunged below zero and into negative territory for the first time in history. With much of the world still on lockdown and storage rapidly filling, people were worried that there would be nowhere to put the oil. The contract holders were left scrambling and ultimately would do anything — in this case, even pay to have it taken off their hands.
COVID guidance for Alaska placer miners
Shane Lasley, North of 60 Mining News, May 18, 2020
Alaska Department of Natural Resources has finalized COVID-19 guidance for placer gold miners planning to carry out operations on their claims in the state during 2020 field season. Placer and lode mining are both considered “critical infrastructure” under Alaska’s essential services and critical workforce infrastructure order, which means that miners are considered essential workers in the state.
Zinke says Biden’s plan to ban fossil fuel drilling on federal lands is ‘nuts’
Abby Smith, The Washington Examiner, May 18, 2020
Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, would threaten U.S. energy security with his proposal to end fossil fuel drilling on federal lands, former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said. “It’s nuts,” he said of Biden’s pledge to ban drilling on public lands. The Obama administration had placed a moratorium on coal mining on federal lands in 2016, a policy Zinke quickly reversed in one of his first acts as interior secretary. Biden’s climate plan would go further, banning new oil and gas drilling on federal lands and waters. Energy analysts say the policy likely wouldn’t significantly decrease greenhouse gas emissions, because most drilling occurs on private land. But environmentalists say the move would be significant, both to address emissions from public lands and to send a signal a Biden administration is serious about addressing climate change. | <urn:uuid:2704cc25-45ac-4f72-8335-80e83d98f78f> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://akheadlamp.com/moderna-monday-vaccine-potential-pushes-market-rally/ | 2021-10-26T12:14:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587877.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026103840-20211026133840-00432.warc.gz | en | 0.962652 | 604 | [

Recently relaxed traffic regulations are paving the way for an e-scooter rental market in selected areas of Tokyo and Fukuoka.
Rental Services for E-Scooters Begin in Japan
Despite being an early innovator in the world of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) with the famous bullet train, generally conservative Japan has been a little slow to jump on the e-scooter bandwagon. With recently relaxed traffic regulations in selected areas, which are enabling the development of rental services for e-scooters, which are called dendo kikkubodo (電動キックボード) in Japanese, a term that literally means “electric kickboard,” that is about to change. Success by early adopters in Tokyo and Fukuoka should make it possible for Japan to become a “fast follower” in this exciting niche market to help riders get from Point A to Point B.
What is an e-scooter?
Beginning around 2017 in selected, overseas markets, the e-scooter rapidly gained popularity as a convenient, easy-to-use, and environmentally-friendly means for covering “the last mile.” The e-scooter is a “micro-mobility device” vehicle that can reach speeds of about 20 kilometers per hour and can be ridden while standing. According to Japanese traffic rules, it falls under the special category of kogata tokushu jidosha (小型特殊自動車) in Japanese.
E-scooters are as “easy as 1-2-3” to ride, according to the website of e-scooter start-up mobby in Fukuoka. First, place one foot on the step and then kick the ground with the other foot. Once stable, press the accelerator to accelerate. When you want to stop, use the brake lever.
Well, that does sound pretty simple!
Will e-scooters replace the bicycle?
The bicycle is indeed the closest vehicle to an e-scooter in terms of speed, but there are clear differences between the two. One is the distance traveled. Also, e-scooters do not have seats, so people wearing suits and skirts can easily ride them. They are, however, not suitable for traveling long distances because you need to stand up while moving.
Daiki Okai, president and CEO of Luup, an e-scooter rental service start-up in Tokyo, believes,
The e-scooter is the most suitable mobility for traveling a distance of 1 to 2 kilometers, about a 15-minute walk. On the other hand, bicycles have seats, so they are probably more suitable for traveling longer distances than e-scooters.
One problem with bicycles in Japan’s large urban centers is, though, finding a place to park. Okai expanded,
E-scooters take up less space than bicycles, making it possible to install more of them in a smaller space. This means that e-scooters can be an efficient form of mobility for landowners who want to install them. Especially in Japan, where space is limited, and the cost of real estate demands a high premium, the size of the parking lot is critically important.
Thus Okai and fellow entrepreneurs are attempting to carve out a new niche market. He concluded,
Rather than thinking that e-scooters are superior to bicycles, I think it is important to distinguish between the two based on their respective characteristics.
By now I bet that you want to try riding an e-scooter, right?
Now Available to Rent in Japan
Well, at the end of April traffic regulations were relaxed in limited areas—at least for a trial period—to embolden the two start-up rental services Luup and mobby to start offering a limited number of rental e-scooters in Tokyo and Fukuoka.
Luup, which also rents electric-assist bicycles, received the go-ahead to operate an e-scooter rental business in three areas in central Tokyo, including Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Roppongi. (At the moment, they have started only in Shibuya.) The firm is also planning to begin to offer e-scooter rental in two locations in Osaka, Minami, and Kita, very soon.
A similar service called mobby just started on a trial basis in Fukuoka. From May 10, mobby “rolled out” its fleet of approximately 100 e-scooters in the central Tenjin District of Fukuoka. If all goes well, then mobby will provide more e-scooters and place more rental stations around the city.
Other new market entrants include WIND（ウィンド）ema（エマ）, although they still seem to be getting organized.
How do you get “a ticket to ride?”
According to mobby’s website, there are four quick steps to get started.
- Register via LINE: At least to use mobby, you don’t need a dedicated app—only an existing LINE account. Just “friend” mobby within LINE. After that, spend approximately 10 minutes to upload your driver’s license, register your credit card, and take a simple quiz on the rules of the road in Japanese. Don’t worry! There is an online primer for the test.
- Locate an E-Scooter: Use the map function to find the closest e-scooter parking station.
- Scan to Unlock and Go: Use your mobile telephone to scan the QR Code on the e-scooter to unlock its key. That’s it! You’re free to go!
- Return: After going for a ride, return the e-scooter to the same or another e-scooter parking station.
The process is similar for Luup, although Luup relies upon a dedicated app.
How much does it cost to rent?
Luup charges a flat fee of 100 Japanese yen (approximately US 90 cents) for access and the first 10 minutes. After that, each additional minute costs 15 yen (14 cents). Thus, for one hour, the fee would be 850 yen ($7.75).
Mobby’s pricing is also based on rental time, but it costs only 150 Japanese yen ($1.37) for the first 30 minutes. From the 31st minute, there is an additional charge of 5 yen (4-1/2 cents) per minute. That works out to 300 yen/hour ($2.75).
Both services charge the fees to a credit card which must be registered in advance.
How far can you ride?
While the actual range depends upon the driver’s weight, local topography, and traffic conditions, the manufacturer lists the range at approximately 22 km.
Where can you ride?
At present government authorities have restricted the area where you can ride a rental e-scooter. The most basic guidelines limit you to smaller roads, but each rental service provides details online.
Check out Japan Insider’s own Yasu and Julian as they take a ride through Shibuya.
With a rental e-scooter, there is, however, no need to return your e-scooter to the same place where you rented it, as there are plenty of other rental stations or “ports” around town. This practice is called norisute (乗り捨て) in Japanese.
In Fukuoka mobby specifies that users are not allowed to ride on sidewalks. There are, moreover, some restricted areas including within Fukuoka’s famous Ogori Park.
Also, be careful not to park in “no parking zones,” as both rental services are very clear that it is the driver who will be fined in such a case.
Do you need to wear a helmet?
While not required, wearing a helmet is highly recommended.
Are there any other requirements?
E-scooters are classified as special small cars or kogata tokushu jidosha (小型特殊自動車) in Japanese. You need to register your driver’s license in advance with both Luup and mobby. It is important to refresh your understanding of the rules of road prior to getting on an e-scooter.
As e-scooters fall into a different category from mopeds or gentsuki (原付) in Japanese, a surprising rule of the road which is allowed for e-scooters is the ability to traverse the middle of an intersection when making a right turn. Where marked mopeds are expected first to cross all the way to the other side of the street and then make a 90 degree right turn (see diagram for more details).
- Just like bicycles, e-scooters are allowed to go the opposite way from how cars can be restricted on small roads.
- If there is a designated bike lane (usually painted blue) which is marked jitensha senyo (自転車専用), then you are obligated to ride in this lane.
- While you can use your mobile telephone for directions—it must be secured to the e-scooter, you are not allowed to have a conversation while riding.
- Although it goes without saying, driving while under the influence is prohibited.
- Riding double is not allowed. That includes riding while holding a child.
- At this point it is unclear whether a valid International Driver’s License can be used as a suitable driver’s license. It is probably safe to assume that you will need a valid Japanese driver’s license.
What if I get into an accident?
Move the e-scooter to a safe place—if you can, call 110 to reach the police, and report the details to the rental agency.
How much does it cost to purchase one?
While it probably makes sense “to try before you buy,” if you just have to get your own, look no further than Rakuten or Amazon. A brand new e-scooter will set you back approximately 50,000 ~ 65,000 yen ($450 ~ $600).
Opportunity to Earn Some Extra Bucks
You may be able to make money from renting out space for parking. Luup is actively seeking to expand its network of dedicated parking spaces, which they call “ports.”
If you have a little extra “dead space” and would like to make a few extra bucks, you may be able to partner with Luup “to install your own port.” It does not take much space. Contact Luup to find out how much you will be paid.
Helping to Reduce the Cost of the “Last Mile”
E-scooters are certainly a good fit for recreation, but it is possible that their real value will be as a solution for transportation services in geographies that are becoming unprofitable and difficult to continue to service in Japan.
Luup’s Okai explained,
The overwhelming weakness of “micro-mobility” in Japan is transporting goods to places far from train stations. It is simply cost-prohibitive. In Southeast Asian countries, motorcycles and scooters are in circulation. In China, there are so many bicycles that a business can be established where a 400 yen ($3.67) coffee can be delivered for only 50 yen (46 cents). Delivery services such as UberEats in Japan cost significantly more than that. Other ‘C to C services’ with a high unit price, such as tutoring and housekeeping services, can often be provided in places far from train stations, but on-site services such as nursing care with a low unit price are unprofitable when transportation costs are included. Thus, e-scooters may provide more of an economical solution.
Time will tell if e-scooters will catch on in Japan, but I for one have certainly been inspired to go for a ride!

Drones Fly High While Offering Accuracy
Surveying work has come a long way from “heel-to-toe,” and the McGeorge Contracting Company surveying team is at the forefront of the ever-emerging technology.
“Compared to today’s instruments, there’s a huge difference,” McGeorge Contracting Surveyor Supervisor Gary Thomas said. “Our vertical accuracy is a half-inch or less.”
To achieve that kind of accuracy, the McGeorge surveying team counts robotic total stations, digital levels, GPS, and surveying software among its tools. Additionally, the team uses three different types of drones for mapping: the EB Plus Plane, the Phantom 4 Pro, and the Phantom 4 RTK. Thomas prefers the RTK for its precision in collecting data. And Thomas should know – he’s been surveying for 30 years; the last six have been with McGeorge. “Flying drones is a great responsibility,” he added.
McGeorge’s surveying team is at the job site both well before the job actually begins, and remains there after other crews have left, Thomas noted. “We are out there days, and sometimes weeks, before ground is broken,” he said. Most of the time, the team is at different construction sites, surveying independently. “We are continuously updating the measurements on all jobs,” Thomas said. “We continuously calculate the earthwork volumes to check for excess material, or [to see] if there is a shortage of material.”
Others on the team include Ted Sneed, who’s been surveying for 32 years – 12 of those with McGeorge; Josh Tollett, who’s been surveying for McGeorge for 5 years; and Taylor Hefley, who began with the survey crew in February 2017.
“These guys are the best to work with,” Thomas said, with the construction firm’s survey team reflecting the McGeorge ethos as a whole: “They work hard, travel all over, and get the job done.” | <urn:uuid:c7b68038-4233-45aa-85ee-61dd8378685c> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://mcgeorgecontracting.com/news/mcgeorge-surveying-team-goes-high-tech | 2021-10-16T11:27:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584567.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016105157-20211016135157-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.944956 | 465 | [

in conversation with Adriana Trigiani
signed books available!

A captivating debut novel about the tangled fates of two best friends and daughters of the Italian mafia, and a coming-of-age story of twentieth-century Brooklyn itself.
Two daughters. Two families. One inescapable fate.
Sofia Colicchio is a free spirit, loud and untamed. Antonia Russo is thoughtful, ever observing the world around her. Best friends since birth, they live in the shadow of their fathers’ unspoken community: the Family. Sunday dinners gather them each week to feast, discuss business, and renew the intoxicating bond borne of blood and love.
But the disappearance of Antonia’s father drives a whisper-thin wedge between the girls as they grow into women, wives, mothers, and leaders. Their hearts expand in tandem with Red Hook and Brooklyn around them, as they push against the boundaries of society’s expectations and fight to preserve their complex but life-sustaining friendship. One fateful night their loyalty to each other and the Family will be tested. Only one of them can pull the trigger before it’s too late.
Naomi Krupitsky was born in Berkeley, California, and attended NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. She lives in San Francisco, but calls many places home. The Family is her first novel.

An example of that is Howard Stern. Yes, that Howard Stern: the controversial radio show host. No matter what you might think of Stern’s shtick (and I for one am a fan), there’s no denying the fact that he’s a great boss, by the benchmark established above.
Robin Quivers, his on-air castmate, has worked with Stern for 1981 and followed him through three radio stations, two cities and now to Sirius Satellite Radio.
Fred Norris, Stern’s writer and sound effects expert, has been with him since 1979.
The Stern Show producer and majordomo, Gary Dell’Abate, has worked for Stern since 1984.
Even Stern’s engineer, Scott Salem, has worked for Stern for 15 years.
Despite the inevitable moments of pique or petty fighting, the fact that these (and more) people have stayed with Stern for this period of time shows they like working for and with him.
Your employees don’t have to like you, but they have to like working for you.
It would be easy to say that these individuals are only staying with Stern because of the lucrative compensation they receive, or the notoriety and level of fame associated with the show.
But there’s more to it than that. If an employee is truly unhappy with their boss, they’re going to eventually leave. All of Stern’s employees have had those chances – through station changes or the move to satellite radio. But they stayed, and the reason is they love their jobs. Study after study shows that happiness in the workplace is the number one reason people stay with their job.
And as the years pass, professional relationships inevitably evolve. You become used to each other’s idiosyncrasies and are able to adapt (or, get used to) the quirks of your co-workers.
In Stern’s case, his well known quirks (a penchant for timeliness, low tolerance for fools, and his fastidiousness) were once a sore spot for his co-workers. But they’ve learned how to tolerate them and indeed embrace them. Whereas 15 years ago, Fred Norris would be subjected to teasing from Howard and threaten to leave the show; today the same teasing merely evokes genuine laughter.
Of course there’s another reason for Stern’s success as a leader, and it’s a strategy that any great leader must adopt: Stern is intensely loyal to his employees. He is loathe to fire anyone, almost to a fault. And loyalty from a boss is repaid by loyalty to a boss. His people are equally loyal to him.
So – despite the antics, the strippers and the crassness – Howard Stern has built a hugely successful empire not just because of his talent, but also by his success as a leader. | <urn:uuid:6dcf62a8-b744-42f2-b218-efa6ef724a67> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.symmetryhro.com/post/howard-stern-a-great-boss-it-s-true | 2021-10-19T09:49:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585246.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20211019074128-20211019104128-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.977544 | 592 | [

This colorful ceramic tile from Motawi Tileworks, Gift Rapt, is based on the design of Charley Harper’s artwork. It shows three raccoons peeking in a window and catching a glimpse of wrapped holiday gifts. The raccoons are here to help you celebrate the holiday season!
Motawi uses a raised-line technique when making their decorative tiles. The technique produces raised ridges which create the detailed design, and contain the colorful glaze.
The tile is made by hand in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It has a notch on the back for hanging. An optional display easel is available to purchase. | <urn:uuid:1a211190-649d-4d94-b47e-1f30a1b91aa1> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://centuryhouseinc.com/product/motawi-tile-charley-harper-gift-rapt/?cat=820 | 2021-10-20T18:58:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585348.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020183354-20211020213354-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.899416 | 128 | [

The year 2000 radiative forcing (RF) due to changes in O3 and CH4 (and the CH4-induced stratospheric water vapour) as a result of emissions of short-lived gases (oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide and non-methane hydrocarbons) from three transport sectors (ROAD, maritime SHIPping and AIRcraft) are calculated using results from five global atmospheric chemistry models. Using results from these models plus other published data, we quantify the uncertainties. The RF due to short-term O3 changes (i.e. as an immediate response to the emissions without allowing for the long-term CH4 changes) is positive and highest for ROAD transport (31 mW m−2) compared to SHIP (24 mW m−2) and AIR (17 mW m−2) sectors in four of the models. All five models calculate negative RF from the CH4 perturbations, with a larger impact from the SHIP sector than for ROAD and AIR. The net RF of O3 and CH4 combined (i.e. including the impact of CH4 on ozone and stratospheric water vapour) is positive for ROAD (+16(±13) (one standard deviation) mW m−2) and AIR (+6(±5) mW m−2) traffic sectors and is negative for SHIP (−18(±10) mW m−2) sector in all five models. Global Warming Potentials (GWP) and Global Temperature change Potentials (GTP) are presented for AIR NOx emissions; there is a wide spread in the results from the 5 chemistry models, and it is shown that differences in the methane response relative to the O3 response drive much of the spread. | <urn:uuid:c5d684e5-f20f-407f-8526-ada5bec955e3> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://cicero.oslo.no/no/publications/external/332 | 2021-10-20T20:51:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585348.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020183354-20211020213354-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.915676 | 370 | [

This past week, our $10 for a $20 gift card offer on Living Social received tremendous publicity for being the first-ever national grocery deal and for selling out in record time. Indeed, the offer sold at an average rate of 30 sales per second and reached as high as 80 sales per second at its peak — on the way to selling out one million coupons in about 10 hours. For a veteran apron-wearing, bricks-and-mortar retailer like me, this sale was eye-popping testimony to the speed and power of the internet and digital world. And while I am admittedly biased, I think it also showed the appeal of the Whole Foods Market brand and experience.
The offer was also significant for a lesser known but no less important reason. Through the partnership with Living Social, we were able to link the deal directly to the site of our new Whole Kids Foundation, the nonprofit we announced this past July, with the big goal of improving children's nutrition and reversing the trend in childhood obesity. For each gift card purchased, Whole Foods Market donated 50 cents to the foundation. We have been talking about the value of natural and organic foods in the marketplace for more than 30 years, and with our customers' help have put close to 1,000 salad bars in schools over the past two years. Setting up this new foundation makes formal both our passion and our commitment as a company to make a lasting difference in the health of children. Today, nearly two thirds of kids in the U.S. are overweight, and one third is obese. Put that together with less than 20 percent of the 120,000 schools in America serving fresh vegetables as part of school meals and you can see the true nature of the upstream challenge we have with kids' health in this country.
Through a tab on its Facebook page, the Whole Kids Foundation let customers "vote" on the percentage of donations that would go to each of its three initiatives: salad bars, school gardens, or nutrition and cooking education for teachers. With the success of the offer, our customers guaranteed that Whole Foods Market will give $500,000 dollars to those efforts.
With this deal, we created almost 1,000 new "friends" and 300 new followers on Twitter for the Whole Kids Foundation, and our web traffic is up nicely. This only reinforces for me that many other folks out there agree this is the time to support schools and inspire families to improve children's nutrition and wellness.
So certainly, this deal was about creating customer excitement and driving traffic. But it was also about making people happy — with a nice surprise at the end. We want to demonstrate that business can serve the broader needs of society while it also serves its customers. Through the potential of collaboration with our nonprofit partners, the power of inclusion with our customers to help guide our decisions, and the possibility of combining the two online through this deal, last Tuesday was a new day for the Whole Kids Foundation and the children it serves. | <urn:uuid:291f493d-7ae6-461b-9a72-8ec549647c1f> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/tips-and-ideas/archive/perspective-our-online-deal-living-social | 2021-10-20T20:08:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585348.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020183354-20211020213354-00392.warc.gz | en | 0.9689 | 601 | [

It’s the end of June, what does this mean for buyers in the greater Albuquerque area? abq expert is here with your buyer market snapshot.
As we come to a close on the month of June, let’s take a loot at what the real estate market is looking like in the greater Albuquerque area and what this means for you as a buyer.
I said it earlier this month, and I’ll say it again. The month of June was a hot and competitive real estate market in Albuquerque for buyers. There is record low inventory and large amounts of other buyers entering the playing field because of record low mortgage interest rates. For some hard residential real estate numbers, on June 28th (within the last 24 hours of that date) there was:
- 52 New Listings
- 74 Pending Sales
- 20 Closed Sales
These numbers are for Albuquerque and it’s surrounding metropolitan areas and were only within the last 24 hours of the 28th. This means very little homes were hitting the market and many were going into pending. These numbers, especially for closed sales, will only continue to increase as we inch closer to the end of the month.
This doesn’t mean that buyers are unable to get into a home, it just means that they have to find the right real estate agent to help them get there. Again, researching that REALTOR who knows how to write that aggressive offer. This is key when buyers have the potential of entering into a multiple offer situation. We are seeing these come up in desirable neighborhoods and priced homes.
If you want to buy a home, whether it is your first or fifth, I would love to help you get there. Reach out today and let’s write the next chapter of your homeownership story!

When she is not helping her community buy and sell houses she is usually writing. | <urn:uuid:31868e8a-e326-4a4a-8c9a-77a448cd638e> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://abqexpert.com/2020/06/29/abq-end-of-june-buyer-market-snapshot/ | 2021-10-22T07:52:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585460.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022052742-20211022082742-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.977787 | 424 | [

Joe Biden said he’s coming to Kenosha today to have a conversation about helping the community heal, while the state GOP chair knocked him for waiting until after violent protests rocked the city to visit Wisconsin.
The stop will be Biden’s first in the state this year after he skipped coming to Milwaukee two weeks ago to accept the party’s nomination at the national convention. His campaign cited the COVID-19 pandemic for not coming to Milwaukee, and Biden told reporters in Delaware Wednesday he met with medical professionals about a series of protocols he will follow to make tomorrow’s trip safe.
Biden plans a community meeting before being joined by his wife Jill Biden for a local stop, according to his campaign. The vice president said he’ll meet with business and community leaders as well as law enforcement as he tries to be a “positive influence.”
“I’m not going to tell Kenosha what they have to do, but what we have to do together,” Biden said.
The trip comes on the heels of President Trump visiting Kenosha Tuesday to meet with law enforcement and denounce “anti-police and anti-American” protests.
State GOP Chair Andrew Hitt questioned why Biden was coming even as the seven-day average of COVID-19 cases in Wisconsin is largely unchanged compared to the week of the Dem convention.
“It shouldn’t take rioters burning down the City of Kenosha to get Joe Biden to visit our state,” Hitt said, calling it a “desperation trip” because Biden’s support is slipping.
Hitt also pointed to Tony Evers’ request that Trump skip his planned visit to Kenosha in asking if the guv would push Biden to stay away as well.
An Evers spokeswoman didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.
Biden told reporters Wednesday he had spoken with Evers’ staff, but not the guv, adding he’s received encouragement from various quarters to visit the southeastern Wisconsin city.
Kenosha Mayor John Antaramian said earlier this week it was too soon for either Trump or Biden to visit, preferring they wait until next week.
Biden’s last public visit to Wisconsin was in October 2018 as he campaigned for U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Evers. He has done a series of virtual events amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but Republicans have regularly knocked him for failing to visit Wisconsin after then-Dem nominee Hillary Clinton didn’t stop in the state after the 2016 primary as she lost to Trump here by fewer than 23,000 votes.
Dem U.S. Reps. Mark Pocan, of Town of Vermont, and Ron Kind, of La Crosse, said they didn’t intend to meet the former vice president in southeast Wisconsin. A spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore was not able to say if the Milwaukee Dem would be involved in the trip, while a spokeswoman for U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, was not immediately available for comment.
Biden also told reporters he believed the Kenosha police officer who shot Jacob Blake, prompting the violent protests, should be charged “at a minimum.”
The vice president added he believed the same about the Louisville, Ky., officers who killed Breonna Taylor. He also called for investigations of violence in Portland, including a Trump supporter who was shooting people with paintballs, as well as someone who shot to death a backer of the president.
“Let the judicial system work. Let’s make sure justice is done,” Biden said.
See video of Biden’s remarks.

Herb Ritts made a name for himself in the 1980s and 1990s, photographing some of the world's biggest celebrities and supermodels -- among them Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Madonna, and Julia Roberts. In 1994, Ritts shot an editorial for Vogue featuring Amber Valletta, Bridget Hall, and a young Kate Moss. This month, Line Magazine has published behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot for the first time.
Francesca Tolot, longtime make-up artist and current Beauty Director for Line discovered the behind-the-scenes photos she took from the set of Ritts's legendary 1994 Vogue shoot entitled "Sheer and Shine." Among the images (presented in Line's "Story of the Month") are topless photos of a young Moss, the models playfully rolling in the sand, and shots of Ritts in his element.
"Young Kate was fun, funny, full of life, confident, entertaining, and very professional. She had gorgeous skin and I loved her freckles," Tolot told the magazine of Moss. "Modeling came very naturally for her. I knew the moment we began shooting that Kate had all the characteristics to become the icon she is today."

A great portion of the extant Old English corpus survives between the lines of Latin manuscripts, as interlinear glosses. Generally, these glosses provide a simple word-for-word Old English translation of the Latin text in order to aid the reader, but various alternative glossing methods existed. This blog post takes a look at what could be read between the lines in early medieval English manuscripts.
Save me, Lord: A simple word-for-word gloss in The Vespasian Psalter
This beautiful page from the eighth-century Vespasian Psalter shows the opening lines of Psalm 68. A careful look at the words SALVUM ME reveals a great number of animals hiding out among these letters (animals often feature in such illustrated capitals; for another example see my blog on A medieval manuscript ransomed from Vikings: The Stockholm Codex Aureus ). More interesting, linguistically speaking, are the little words written above the Latin: Old English glosses, that provide a word for word translation of these lines:
Halne mec doa god forðon ineodun weter oð sawle mine; gefestnad ic eam in lam grundes 7 nis spoed.
Salvvm me fac deus quoniam introierunt aqvę usque ad animam meam; infixus sum in limum profundi et non est substantia.
Save me, God: because the waters have come in unto my soul; I am fastened in the ground’s mud and there is no substance.
Here, the Old English glosses clearly follow the word order of the Latin and, thus, “animam meam” is glossed with “sawle mine” [soul mine], whereas “mine sawle” [my soul] would be a more natural word order in Old English. This type of gloss is the most typical kind of gloss found in early medieval English manuscripts.
When one word is not enough: Multiple glosses in The Lindisfarne Gospels
Created around the year 700, the Lindisfarne Gospels is possibly the most famous Anglo-Saxon manuscript. While it is known for its beautiful illumination, the Lindisfarne Gospels also contains a word-for-word gloss, added some 250 years after the original manuscript had been produced. The maker of this tenth-century gloss, a monk named Aldred, was not always satisfied with offering just one Old English translation for each Latin word. His work features several ‘multiple glosses’; that is, several Old English alternatives are offered for one Latin word. The example above shows Aldred’s four glosses for Latin desponsata ‘married’: biwoedded, beboden, befeastnad and betaht. As such, Aldred’s gloss may function as something of a thesaurus of Old English.
b, c, e, d, a: Paving letters in British Library, Cotton Tiberius A.iii
Some glossators also included some syntactical guidance, since Latin word order was markedly different from Old English word order. A good example of such syntactical guidance are the so-called ‘paving letters’ in the Old English gloss to this eleventh-century copy of the Benedictine Rule. Here, the word-for-word Old English translations above the Latin are preceded by a letter – these letters show the Old English word order. Rather than “deað dæghwamlice ætforan eagan gewenedne habban” [death daily before eyes with expectation to have], this should be read as “habban deað dæghwamlice gewenedne ætforan eagan” [to have death daily, with expectation, before your eyes] which, incidentally, is one of the forty-five “tools of good works” that Benedictine monks had to abide by.
. .. …. …: Dot glosses in the Lambeth Psalter
The scribe responsible for the glosses to the tenth-/eleventh-century Lambeth Psalter had a different system for indicating word order and syntactical relationships. A system of dots and commas underneath the Latin words provide the reader with extra information. The commas under “qui” and “tribuit”, for instance, show that the relative pronoun “qui” is the subject of the verb “tribuit”: ‘who gives’. The dots underneath the Latin words show the Old English word order: rather than “ic singe drihtne þam þe goda sealde me 7 ic singe naman drihtnes þæs heahstan”, we should read “ic singe drihtne þam þe sealde goda me 7 ic singe naman þæs heahstan drihtnes” [I sing for the Lord who gave goods to me and I sing the name of the highest Lord], if we put the dotted words in numerical order.
Now you see me, now you don’t: Scratched glosses in British Library, Royal 5 E XI
This eleventh-century manuscript of Aldhelm’s prose De virginitate shows yet another type of gloss: the so-called “scratched gloss”. These glosses were made without ink and, thus, were scratched into the parchment. As a result, these glosses are only visible from a particular angle (or, thanks to digital image editing, if you play around with contrast and brightness). In early medieval England, a user of this manuscript may have tilted the manuscript over in order to reveal the gloss. If he had done so for this manuscript, he would have seen that the Old English translation for Latin scribendi is “writende” [writing].

Over the last two years, parchment has proven to be a contentious issue in the UK Parliament. This blog post reconstructs a debate about parchment in the UK House of Commons in April 2016.
June 2017: The Queen and the Goatskin
Last week (June 12-18, 2017), various newspapers ran the story about a possible delay of the Queen’s Speech for the State Opening of Parliament (marking the formal start of the parliamentary year). The delay, it was said, would be caused by the fact that the speech had to be printed on goatskin and that the ink would take days to dry. While goatskin may remind some of medieval parchment (often made of the skin of goats), reporters were quick to point out that, while the monarch’s speech was indeed traditionally printed on parchment, no goats are harmed to produce present-day goatskin paper. Instead, it is high-quality paper that lasts for 500 years, bearing a watermark in the form of a goat. Be that as it may, the whole affair reminded me of April 2016, when parliamentary dealings with actual parchment were making headlines.
April 2016: Veni, vidi, vellum
On 20 April, 2016, the UK House of Commons held a debate to repeal a decision to stop printing the Acts of Parliament on parchment – a suggestion made made by the House of Lords in February of that year. The rationale behind the initial decision was to cut down the annual printing costs (£103,000 per year) by replacing the pricy parchment for high quality paper. James Gray, MP for North Wiltshire and instigator of the debate on 20 April 2016, pointed out that, despite the fact that Parliament could save perhaps £10,000 or £20,000 a year, parchment has some advantages over paper. His two main arguments for not abandoning vellum were 1) the longstanding tradition of using vellum for important documents and 2) the fact that parchment is more durable than paper.
The records of the proceedings are published here in the House of Commons Hansard and make an intriguing read – especially for a medievalist: the various MPs refer to precious medieval documents to praise the value of parchment. Sharon Hodgson, MP for Washington and Sunderland West, for instance, makes the point that, without parchment, we would not have had copies of Magna Carta, the Domesday Book and the Lindisfarne Gospels:
“Our most important documents have been printed or written on vellum, from the Magna Carta to the Domesday Book and a piece of important north-east English history, the Lindisfarne gospels. All these historical manuscripts have been preserved for posterity because they were printed on vellum. They have lasted through the ages due to vellum’s durable qualities, which have ensured that future generations can appreciate and respect our shared history. Surely the legislation that we make here is worthy of this small additional cost.”
Roberta Blackman-Woods, MP for the City of Durham, also raises the importance of the Lindisfarne Gospels (luckily without noting that it had been printed on vellum!):
“The issue is close to my heart because of the Lindisfarne Gospels. Everyone here will know their relevance to the north-east and to my Durham constituency. Produced in around 700, the gospels were written and painted on vellum, without which the gospels simply would not be with us today. Not just old relics, they are important living texts for our understanding of the culture and heritage of the north-east and elsewhere.”
Reading how present-day politicians refer to medieval documents as being relevant cultural products is, of course, a joy for any medievalist. And who could deny the stunning cultural impact the beautiful Lindisfarne Gospels still have today? (check them out digitally here)
Not everyone agreed with upholding this medieval tradition of using parchment, even if one MP in favour of abandoning parchment (Paul Flynn for Newport West) still cited the medieval Welsh poem Y Goddodin:
I cherish the history of this country; I cherish the Book of Aneirin, Y Gododdin, presumably written on vellum:
“Gwyr a aeth i Gatreath
Godidog oedd eu gwedd”.
That goes back to the early centuries, before English existed as a language. Of course we treasure the past, and our heritage, but it has nothing to do with this century. We have other ways of maintaining a record.
The 13th-century Book or Aneirin was indeed written on vellum and, while the poem Y Gododdin is older than its manuscript (composed between c. 700 and 1100), it should be pointed out that English was already around back then!
Nevertheless, while the long-standing tradition of reporting important matters on parchment may not have swayed everyone, there was another argument, one that strikes surprisingly close to home for myself.
Porck and parchment in Parliament
In order to make the point about the durability of parchment over the durability of paper, Tory MP Chris Skidmore (for Kingswood) cited one Henk Porck (the tweet by parliamentary journalist Richard Wheeler above suggests that the name caused Sidmore some difficulties!):
Europe’s leading expert on the subject, Dr Henk Porck of the Netherlands national library, has gone on record as saying that current ageing tests for paper
“cannot be reliably predicted by means of the present artificial ageing tests.”
When it comes to printing our country’s laws, arguably our most important documents, we need to ensure that we have a clear assurance that the materials they are printed on will last the test of centuries, as vellum has. Paper-printed Acts of Parliament may last a long time—I do agree that they last a significant amount of time—but it is not long enough, and we need all the details of what is being proposed.
This Henk Porck is, in fact, my dad, a bio-chemist who worked at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek (National Library of the Netherlands) as conservation scientist and curator of the Paper History Collection. His full quote on current, artificial ageing tests for paper reads “The rate of paper deterioration and other quantitative aspects of the natural ageing of paper, such as durability and permanence, cannot be reliably predicted by means of the present artificial ageing tests” and his report ‘Rate of paper degradation: The predictive value of artificial aging tests’ (2000) can be found here. In short, Henk Porck’s statement that the ageing of paper cannot be reliably tested was interpreted as a strong recommendation to use vellum instead of paper.
The statement (even though it did not advocate vellum per sé) proved convincing enough for Matthew Hancock, Minister for the Cabinet Office, who concluded the debate by noting that he was now in favour of retaining the tradition of printing the Acts of parchment:
My hon. Friend the Member for Kingswood (Chris Skidmore) brought his great and deep expertise to the debate, and told us why Dr Porck thinks we should print on goatskin. For that insight, I thank him. … On the basis of symbolism, cost and practicality, therefore, we should continue this great and long tradition.
So did my dad play a vital role in Parliament’s decision to hold on to using parchment? Unfortunately, that is not the full story.
Parchment wrapped around paper
Even though the House of Commons voted on 20 April, 2016, to keep using parchment ( 117 Ayes vs. 28 Noes), the House of Lords still decided to switch to using high-quality paper. In the end, a compromise was reached, which means that the Acts will now be printed on high-quality paper, but will have parchments covers, with the name of the legislation in caligraphy. Parchment wrappers! Understandably, some MPs responded with disgust, including MP Ian Liddell-Grainger who was cited in the Daily Mail as follows:
We never learn. You try to save pennies and you lose pounds. The history of parliament is the history of our nation. Remember history because you will need to learn those lessons.
[About the Article 50 Act (triggering Brexit)] It should be written on vellum. Because in a thousand years’ time people will ask, ‘what did they do in March 2017?
They will not read it on paper. Ancient man had it right.
Now that the UK Parliament has switched to paper (with parchment wrappers), it is to be hoped that they treat and store the paper with care. Should they be interested, ‘Europe’s leading expert on the subject’ and myself co-wrote an article about a late medieval text from 1527 on book preservation, which appeared with an English translation of the medieval text as T. Porck & H.J. Porck, ‘Eight Guidelines on Book Preservation from 1527: How One Should Preserve All Books to Last Eternally’, in: Journal of PaperConservation 13(2) (2012), 17-25. The article is available on Academia.edu.

Nick Ragone wasn’t looking for a new job. He had worked at Ketchum for more than a decade, most recently running its Washington, DC, office. Previously, he was associate director at the agency’s New York office.
A cold call from a recruiter changed everything.
"The person said, ‘If you were ever to go in-house, this would be the opportunity,’" Ragone recalls. "That had never really crossed my mind. I thought I would be an agency lifer. It’s something I had always done and liked."
Intrigued by the offer, he spent a day meeting with the leadership team at Ascension.
"I said to the recruiter, ‘I’m in.’ I was never going to get an opportunity like this again," he explains.
Ascension’s dedication to helping those in poverty struck a chord with Ragone, plus the opportunity to shape the brand of one of the largest healthcare organizations in the country. He was also sold on life in St. Louis, where the company has its headquarters, with its slower pace than his native New York.
"Out here there’s very little traffic, the cost of living is great, and people are generally nice," he says. "If you can handle that, you can handle St. Louis."
Fast forward two years and Ragone’s now added CMO duties alongside his original role as chief communications officer. He dove into the complex, often bureaucratic world of healthcare and found a passion.
As chief marketing and comms officer, Ragone thinks both internally and externally. His work ranges from communicating with the health system’s 160,000 employees to reaching the public with advertising campaigns to digital and social strategy. Plus, he’s head of a national marcomms team of about 300 staff spread across 24 states and Washington, DC.
He also works with several Omnicom agencies, including FleishmanHillard for PR, Siegel+Gale for marketing, GSD&M on creative, and Critical Mass for digital marketing.
Bringing everyone together
Although he’s based in St. Louis, Ragone travels around the country to meet with his widely dispersed team.
"You have to lead by being present. I like to visit all our markets and meet with our CEOs and the team to see firsthand what the market’s up to."
He also has a very involved and in-tune CEO, Anthony Tersigni, who Ragone says has been the catalyst for many of Ascension’s changes in the last year and has spearheaded its national rebranding initiative.
"Nick has helped transform our comms function into a truly integrated marketing team," Tersigni explains. "Ascension stands for providing personalized and compassionate care in every one of our communities, and Nick and his team are helping bring that message to all those we serve."
The brand is becoming a more uniform national organization under Ragone, both in internal structure and public appearance. His first six months on the job were dedicated to organizing the comms function.
The health system is one of the largest in the country. It has 141 hospitals and revenue of more than $21 billion in 2016, a 6% increase over the previous year. Most of Ascension’s hospitals, Ragone says, used to operate almost independently from each other and the company’s headquarters.
"We realized it was wildly inefficient," he notes. "If our health system in Texas wanted to do a campaign on primary care, it would hire its own agency and do its own research and media buying. Then if another market wanted to do a similar campaign, it would do everything on its own as well."
By July, Ragone had officially integrated the national marcomms division. He pulled together a team of leaders from several markets to design the new function. He calls it a shared services model. Now, different markets can share campaigns and compile nationwide analytics.
The team did not see many staff changes as a result. But the integrated model created new positions around analytics, which has been a big focus of the integrated marcomms unit.
Call me chess dad
Ragone is also using his position at Ascension to do things close to his heart. A self-described "chess dad," he started an Ascension-sponsored after school chess program for middle schools in Ferguson, Missouri called Your Move Chess last year.
The idea came to him from his 11-year-old son, who’s an avid chess player, who had asked if all schools had after school chess. This year, Ascension expanded the program to about 30 schools in the Ferguson-St. Louis area.
"I believe that there's a long tail to wellness and taking care of community," he says. "It's not just taking care of their acute care or healthcare needs. Taking care of the long tail of wellness includes bringing programs to communities, like after school chess to schools."
Ascension’s restructure reflects a trend in the health provider sphere to break down the old, siloed structure in favor of a national team and joins similar efforts at places like Mayo Clinic.
The integrated structure had its inaugural test in March when the brand rolled out a nationwide ad campaign promoting the Veterans Choice program.
"It has already paid dividends, and we’ve saved a lot of money," Ragone explains. "We are more consistent in our approach, for example with digital and social. We have much better analytics because we have one set of media buyers. It has made a world of difference, and it’s where we need to go."
Ragone’s most recent project is the organization’s nationwide rebrand, which kicked off in September.
The health system’s biggest hindrance to being widely known was its disconnected hospital brands. Before September, each hospital had its own name.
Now, each hospital and health center will bear the Ascension name alongside its previous name. For example, St. John Providence hospitals in Michigan will become Ascension St. John Providence.
He says a national rebrand will help in several ways. First and foremost, it is easier for patients.
"If you’re a patient, you’re going to understand, whether it’s a physician group or senior living or hospital or urgent care center, they are all connected and all part of the Ascension brand," Ragone explains.
Plus, a national brand will help make online searches smoother, with each hospital now sporting the Ascension name and design.
The health system will also benefit from bringing its hospitals’ innovation and work under one name. That could help raise the profile of the brand as a big name, national health organization.
"The Ascension brand will become better known," Ragone says. "Most people don’t know we deliver almost as many babies as any system in the world; we do as many complex heart cases as any in the world; and we do as much oncology. But it’s all under different brands."
Another method of bringing the organization to the public’s attention is speaking up about issues facing the industry. In this year alone, the industry has been rocked by Affordable Care Act woes, drug pricing scandals, and cybersecurity problems.
"Healthcare is going through a dramatic transformation and our CEO has been on the forefront of helping us think about how to win in this new model," Ragone explains. "It’s not the old healthcare system anymore. If you’re under 30, you have no knowledge or you don’t care about how healthcare used to be delivered; you care about how healthcare is going to be delivered to you. And that’s what we’re thinking about."
Speaking up on many of these problems falls in line with Ascension’s mission, but it has the double benefit of making the brand a more reputable source, he adds. It created a thought leadership program 18 months ago and has taken a larger role as an expert source, pitching in on the state of the industry through op-eds and speaking engagements.
This increased visibility has led to the health system’s leaders being asked to participate in national health events. Most recently, the organization’s chief nursing officer, Ann Hendrich, was a U.S. representative at the UN General Assembly. She was there on behalf of the brand’s work fighting against antimicrobial resistance.
"I take enormous pride in our visibility and leadership role in the last 18 months to two years on a host of issues that are critical not just to Ascension, but also to all of healthcare, such as access, Medicaid expansion, drug pricing, and eliminating health disparities," Ragone says.
Ascension is only in the beginning stages of its nationwide push. The organization began the process in Michigan and Wisconsin, but 22 states still remain. The rebranding campaign includes TV spots introducing the organization’s name and tying it to the local hospital’s brand, along with direct mail and online marketing to the same effect.
"We call it the journey to one Ascension," he notes. "If it were a baseball game, we’re still in the second or third inning."
Ragone doesn’t have a timeline for the entire rebranding campaign, but with each state’s hospital system taking about 18 months to completely rebrand — largely due to signage, he says — it’s not going to be a quick job. And Ragone is in it for the long haul.
Mission with a capital M
Ragone mentions the organization’s mission — with a capital M, he adds — often. It’s a mission that sounds familiar to anyone in healthcare: improving health for all with a focus on vulnerable populations.
Where the brand differs from other health systems is in its Catholic roots. The hospital system puts its faith-based heritage and values front and center.
"We are the largest Catholic and nonprofit healthcare system in the world," Ragone says. "People trust us to care for them, not just their physical needs, sometimes their emotional needs or their spiritual needs, too. We care for the whole person, and that really comes out of our Catholic heritage."
Ascension also has two sisters on staff who advise on the organization’s mission of integration. Sister Maureen McGuire, who Ragone explains convinced him to join the health system, heads up that area.
"Sister McGuire was my last interview the first day I was here, and we ended up talking for about an hour," he recalls. "At the end, I was convinced this was the right role for me, so I always joke that she was responsible for bringing me here."
Along with the Catholic values baked into the hospitals and health centers, Ascension places emphasis on community outreach and advocacy.
One population the organization focuses on is veterans. This year, the health system partnered with the Department of Veteran’s Affairs in an effort to increase care after they return to the U.S.
The Veterans Choice program was the brand’s first nationwide ad campaign. Ascension has served more than 6,000 veterans.
"They are a particularly vulnerable population, especially when they come back from service," Ragone explains. "Veterans have a lot of needs, and we’re highly attuned to that."
He adds that focus on charity and mission is why people come to work for the organization, and why he made the move. The health system spent more than $1.8 billion in 2016 caring for those in poverty.
"Our founders 200 years ago didn’t come here to set up hospitals or create brands," Ragone continues. "They came to provide care for people who needed it most. And 200 years later, that’s what we are doing, and 200 years from now we will still
be doing it."

2007-2018 Silverado/Sierra 4 inch Rear Lowering Kit
2007-2018 Chevy Silverado 4 inch Complete Rear Kit
Here is where we actually moved the axle from beneath the leaf spring to on top of the leaf spring. We are forced to do it this way because GM welded the foreword spring hanger to the frame. This kit works by flipping the axle and then picking it back up by inverting the shackle hanger, allowing for a longer shackle to lift the truck. In this way we can net either a 4 or 5 inch drop, depending on which whole you use on the shackle. Our exclusive pinion adjustable axle brackets in this kit allow you to adjust your pinion angle anywhere you need to get rid of vibration.
Shocks are NOT included with this kit. DJM Recommends:

Spoiler Alert: 2013 MotoGP Championship results from Silverstone in the UK listed below
A mere 0.081 of a second decided the winner Sunday at the UK’s Silverstone circuit, which hosted round 12 of 18 in the 2013 MotoGP Championship.
And the winner? The reigning MotoGP Champion Jorge Lorenzo. The Yamaha Factory Racing pilot edged out Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez, breaking the 20-year-old rookie’s four-race winning streak.
Lorenzo and Marquez, who continues to lead the 2013 MotoGP Championship, were joined on the Silverstone podium by Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa. This was the third consecutive round where all three Spaniards finished on the podium.
On Saturday, Marquez had clinched his third pole position in five race meetings but further participation was put in doubt when he dislocated his left shoulder by crashing in Sunday morning Warm-Up. After being given the green light in the circuit Medical Center, the 20-year-old Repsol Honda Team rider headed up the front row from Yamaha Factory Racing’s Lorenzo and Monster Yamaha Tech3’s Crutchlow.
Critically for Lorenzo, the Mallorcan made another strong start and dived into the lead at Copse corner. In a near repeat performance to Brno last weekend, he would proceed to resolutely defend from both Repsol Honda Team riders. Marquez then seized the advantage at Brooklands just over two laps from home, only for Lorenzo to retake the lead as he confidently out-braked his opponent at Vale. On the final lap, Marquez again grabbed the advantage at Brooklands, before Lorenzo re-passed in a confident move at Luffield, which featured slight contract between the two bikes.
The leading duo crossed the finish line separated by just 81 thousandths of a second, meaning Silverstone continues a pattern from Brno of witnessing the closest finish of the season so far. Struggling for rear grip, Pedrosa was a further one and a half seconds behind, having been unable to take advantage of the battling pair in front of him. In fourth spot was Rossi who, having dropped back after his strong start, had become involved in yet another entertaining battle with GO&FUN Honda Gresini’s Alvaro Bautista, while LCR Honda MotoGP’s Stefan Bradl finished in sixth place.
Having missed his home race in 2011 before starting at the back in 2012, Cal Crutchlow had hoped for a much stronger Silverstone weekend in 2013. The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider crashed twice on Saturday and again in Sunday’s Warm-Up, then paid the price for a poor getaway as the Tech3 rider plummeted from third to sixth at the start. He would fall back to his eventual finishing position of seventh when the charging Bautista – who had lined up eighth on the grid – overtook at the end of Lap 1.
Crutchlow’s teammate Bradley Smith again found himself dicing with the pair of Ducati Team riders, but was ultimately taken advantage of by Nicky Hayden for eighth place. Smith would end the day ninth, while Andrea Dovizioso crashed out on the penultimate tour. The Italian joined second-lap faller Lukas Pesek (Came IodaRacing Project) on the sidelines, promoting Power Electronics Aspar’s Aleix Espargaro into the top ten despite a broken finger and injured neck after a Saturday crash; he therefore led home the CRT riders as PBM’s Michael Laverty ended his maiden home race in 19th position, ahead of Colombian teammate Yonny Hernandez.
Following the race, it was announced that Marquez has been given two Penalty Points under the new system due to not slowing down under the yellow flags in the morning Warm-Up. This also happened to be the moment that saw him crash at the same turn as Cal Crutchlow. Not to be confused with Championship Points, the penalty system was introduced in 2013, under which Up to 10 penalty points can be imposed, with sanctions applied at certain thresholds. Any rider reaching four penalty points starts the next race from the back of the grid, while seven points lead to a pit lane start and 10 points a race ban.
With the triple-header of Indianapolis, Brno and Silverstone now over, MotoGP returns in two weekends’ time with the GP Aperol di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini from Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
With six events remaining in 2013, debutant Marquez carries an advantage of 30 points over Pedrosa, with Sunday’s winner Lorenzo now trailing the championship leader by 39 points.
