Ultra-slim-fit low-rise jeans with a five-pocket design made from a beige blend of denim and wool. An icon of effortless elegance and contemporary charm, Kiton jeans have double seams, meaning that they are not only incredibly light, but indestructible as well. A small quantity of elastane gives these gorgeous jeans just the right amount of ''give'' and the fabric gently swathes the leg, flattering the figure without any sense of restriction. These pants have no darts, tonal stitching, red bar tacks and contrasting red trouser binding that reinforces the hem. The trouser bottom measures 19.50 cm for a standard size 50. We recommend washing this garment by hand inside out and at 30° C. | <urn:uuid:262d9e68-86be-4b95-99f7-ad7723214b2f> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://kiton.com/collections/men-jeans/products/pantaloni-cotone-upnjsm2j0318a05 | 2021-10-28T05:56:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588257.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028034828-20211028064828-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.891613 | 153 | [

Freckles learned to stay home by herself on my long work days this week. This is mainly because she throws an absolute hissy fit whenever she has to go in a kennel. Hissy fits must burn off a lot of energy though because with the combination of staying home and not going jogging because of the snow, she was overflowing with nervous energy.
Last night she was running through the house over and over. Up the stairs. Back down the stairs. On the couch. Off the couch. And then she went into the new favorite sport in our house – Big Game Hunting.
Big Game Hunting develops when you take a dedicated hunting cat (Riley) and trap him inside because of freezing temperatures and snow. My cats don’t do precipitation. It has been so long since he ate a squirrel that he’s starting to look skinny. Luckily for him he realized that he could keep his skill set sharp by hunting indoors. The target is Freckles.
She falls for all the tricks. The “I’m just laying here in the hall minding my own business” ruse. The “Oh, is that my paw/tail dangling over the edge of the table?” ploy. Whenever she goes to investigate she gets high speed slapdowns like she’s his own private speed bag. But since she’s a dog she thinks she’s getting away with chasing the kitty and doesn’t realize that most times he leading her into an ambush.
They were driving me crazy so I made sure to get her to the dog park this morning. She ran so much that she ending up with her head between her knees open mouthed breathing in a way that usually has me running for a chest tube. After catching her breath (I wish I had her recovery abilities) we went home. I worked out with the Wii while they both napped. On my final stretch Riley came and cuddled on my left side. Freckles then cuddled on the right. It was a moment of peace. Then Freckles tried to stick her nose in his ear and he ran off. She followed and I could hear her getting smacked in the other room. Life was back to normal. | <urn:uuid:47ba6162-9fb8-43ad-b92d-3cb449c20aad> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.spiritblog.net/big-game-hunting/ | 2021-10-28T05:41:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588257.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028034828-20211028064828-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.98271 | 464 | [

It’s tax season folks! I know, I know, you’re scared of it but you shouldn’t because with these tips you’ll be able to tackle your taxes better than a professional, and not have to pay someone else for the displeasure of the upcoming tax season.
Do you need to file?
It may surprise you to learn that not everyone is required to file a tax return. If you are disabled, or made under $12,000 in 2019 then you may not be required to file. The requirements to file/or not file are complex and assessed on a case by case basis.
Collect your documents
The average American has 2-5 tax documents to file; W2s, 1099s and mortgage documents and banking interest earned and other details.
If you are not sure what documents you will need, then consult tax software sites like tax slayer etc. Here is a link to a great checklist to get you ready!
File by paper and/or on the internet
If you make under a certain amount of money (around $50k a year) then you have the right to file for free. No fees, period.
If you don’t have a computer then you can file by paper. Forms can be obtained at the local library or by request by calling the IRS.
If you can’t do it on your own, get help for free; if you qualify
If you can’t file your taxes on your own, there are many free services out there that can help you file your taxes. If you want to and can afford it, there are paid services out there as well. Please note, if you hire someone, or ask someone else to file your taxes – and there is an error on your return – it is your fault, and not theirs. All liability for the prepared return is yours alone.
The process of filing taxes is not hard, and with the right preparations the process can take as little as 20 minutes for less complex tax situations. So, stop worrying, gather those documents and get this little pest out of the way, so you can enjoy the rest of 2020! | <urn:uuid:702a4cab-93cb-4de0-9a4e-bb2b577ed9e5> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://boboettingandassociates.com/tax-prep-tips/ | 2021-10-16T15:55:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584886.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016135542-20211016165542-00432.warc.gz | en | 0.956726 | 446 | [

The movement said in a statement that the event, which it tagged National Intervention Summit, will also witness the launch of “a formidable national electoral alliance and coalition of all like-minded political stakeholders, leaders of thought, civil Society and labour leaders across sectional divide to mobilise Nigerians and pressurize the Nigerian government to adopt electronic transmission of election results for the 2023 elections.”
Browsing: Femi Falana
The charges were filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja after over two months since the secret police arrested and detained the two aides of the activist and the DSS refusal to grant them bail despite a court order.
Falana, in a condolence message on Thursday in Lagos, said he was deeply saddened by the tragic news of the untimely death of Mohammed Fawehinmi.
The ECOWAS Court of Justice gave the ruling on Friday in a long drawn case over the detention of the journalist
The suit No ECW/CCJ/APP/23/21 was filed on Tuesday by Solicitor to SERAP and human rights activist, Femi Falana, SAN.
SERAP said: “We urge you to publicly give an assurance that you and your government would end the worsening rule of law crisis, obey court judgments, genuinely combat grand corruption, and address the systematic and egregious violations of Nigerians’ right to life and security in several parts of the country.”
Bayero told reporters shortly after Justice Gideon Kurada, adjourned the case until May 25, that he had asked the court to over rule the defence, and sentence Zakzaky, leader of Islamic Movement in Nigeria and his wife as provided by the law.
Ibori was jailed by a UK court in 2012 when Goodluck Jonathan was president of Nigeria.
Tanko-Yakassai was arrested on Friday and also pronounced sacked by Ganduje same day.
Delivering a ruling, Justice Gideon Kurada, specifically ordered that she should be moved to a government-approved isolation and treatment centre.
Rather, he said, the issue of restructuring, if it succeeded, will only help in righting the wrongs in critical areas, instead of creating disunity in the country.
A former Editor of The Guardian, Lade Bonuola, also received the Lifetime Award for Journalistic Excellence.
Falana told Justice Ahmed Mohammed, on Wednesday, while arguing a motion he filed for his clients, in which he prayed the court to vacate the order ex-pare granted on Nov. 4, freezing the accounts of 20 alleged #EndSARS promoters.
The coalition of some 80 labour and civil rights groups said the savage killing was a signpost of incompetence and ineptitude on the part of those in power.
Joseph Nwaegbu, Pathfind Attorneys and MNBI had earlier in the week dragged Falana to the ICC for allegedly backing genocide in Kaduna State.
This was contained in a reply signed by the Head of Information and Evidence Unit of the ICC, Mark P. Dillon
The renowned lawyer vowed to sue the NUJ according to a petition dated November 3, 2020 addressed to the National President of the NUJ, Chief Chris Isiguzo, if the council poll, slated for November 5, 2020, i
Falana said this in an interview with Arise TV on Monday.
Falana, who made this submission in his contribution to a discussion on a WhatsApp group, said even if Nigeria returns to regional government as being canvassed and there is still no economic restructuring, there can never be development.
Falana said this in his contribution to a debate on a WhatsApp platform on Sunday. | <urn:uuid:2540a79a-94d3-4fa0-a0ea-47fdaf38628d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://theeagleonline.com.ng/tag/femi-falana/ | 2021-10-16T15:04:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584886.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016135542-20211016165542-00432.warc.gz | en | 0.962983 | 756 | [

Connecting to the water supply
- Please make sure you follow these instructions fully. If you have any problems with carrying out this maintenance, please contact us.
Before beginning to connect the water inlet pipe, make sure you have the tap which will supply the washing machine turned off. If the machine is going to be installed in a location not in your main house (a garage, for example) make sure that the water supply pipework and the inlet hose is protected from possible frost damage.
The steps below will give you some general guidance, but always check your user manual for any specific recommendations for your appliance.
- 1. First you will need to find and attach the water inlet hose, this can often be found inside the drum along with any instruction manuals when the machine is delivered.
- 2. Locate the water inlet connection, this will usually be on the back of the machine.
- 3. Connect one end of the water inlet hose to the machine and tighten the nut by turning it clockwise. The water inlet hose usually has two different shaped ends to the pipe, connect the right angled end of the hose to the water inlet connection.Note: Make sure that the rubber sealing washer is in place inside the hose nut and only tighten the hose nut by hand, never use tools when tightening the nut as you can damage it.
- 4. Connect and tighten the nut of the other end of the water inlet hose to the cold mains water supply by turning clockwise. The cold water supply is usually indicated by a blue tap. Make sure that the hose has no sharp bends or kinks in it.Note: Make sure that the rubber sealing washer is in place inside the hose nut and only tighten the hose nut by hand, never use tools when tightening the nut as you can damage it.
- 5. Once both ends of the hose are connected and tightened, open the tap on the supply pipe and check for any water leaks.
Note: Check the inlet hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it should be replaced immediately. | <urn:uuid:18c726c2-7aab-450d-b42a-7776c7f9bf89> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://domesticandgeneral.tmtx.co.uk/en/topic/allotherbrands_washingmachines/connecting_to_the_water_supply.html | 2021-10-18T01:30:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585186.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20211018000838-20211018030838-00512.warc.gz | en | 0.935774 | 433 | [

RESU Matched Inverters
If you already have solar panels then the battery installer will connect the battery to your existing system. It is important to know that to install battery storage a battery-ready inverter is required. Battery-ready inverters are often referred to as self-consumption inverters. Many households with existing solar will have a grid-tie inverter which connects your solar system to the grid. Most of these grid-tie inverters will not be battery-ready self-consumption inverters. Installation of hybrid type self-consumption inverters means a grid-tie inverter is no longer required.
The LG Chem RESU6.5EX / RESU3.2EX battery energy storage system has been matched with the SMA Sunny Island 3.0M/4.4M, Sungrow 5kW Hybrid and SolaX Hybrid inverters and allows you to store your solar-generated power and use it at any time 24 hours a day.
The Selectronic SP PRO and ABB Inverter are also great potential candidates for matching with the RESU PLUS series.
The LG Chem low voltage 48V battery storage units, RESU3.3, RESU6.5, and RESU10, have been matched with the SMA Sunny Island 3.0M/4.0M, SolaX X-Hybrid, Sungrow SH 5K, Nedap PowerRouter, Goodwe ES-series, Redback SH4600 and Ingeteam Ingecon Sunstorage hybrid inverters. The LG Chem high voltage 400V battery storage units, LG Chem RESU 7H and LG Chem RESU 10H have been matched with the SMA Sunny Boy Storage 2.5, SolarEdge SE, Delta Solarcity Exclusive, and Fronius Symo hybrid inverters.

There's not much time left for the Royals, who are now four games out of a playoff spot and behind four different teams for the second Wild Card position. All they have to do to gain some ground in that race? Beat a team that hasn't lost since August 23.
The Cleveland Indians have won an AL-record 21 games in a row. Wins #2, 3, and 4 of that streak came against Kansas City back on "Player's Weekend" when the Royals scored exactly zero runs that whole series.
Josh Tomlin takes on Jake Junis in a game where the Royals appear to have the upper hand, but Tomlin has completely handled Kansas City this year. It's probably the best on-paper matchup for the Royals in the four-game series. They need to win this series to keep playoff hopes alive, and that...it a tall task right now. | <urn:uuid:c771f9e6-3097-4720-a032-c056c4878760> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.royalsreview.com/2017/9/14/16306620/thursday-thread-royals-at-indians | 2021-10-19T11:25:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585265.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20211019105138-20211019135138-00592.warc.gz | en | 0.975406 | 179 | [

A new book, Shorts Travel Ull, offers advice on which travel poems to read.
The book, co-authored by Jerusalem Post travel writer Eliyahu Shesh, and the award-winning poet Erez Dahan, is aimed at those who want to write their own travel poems, but are reluctant to put their work on the web.
Shesh says it’s important to know what kind of poem you want to publish, how long it will take to write, and whether you have a voice to be heard.
Shorts Travel Urll, for example, is meant to be a short piece with short words.
It has four lines of text and is intended for the short-story stage.
“It can be a long poem, or it can be an epic poem.
If you can write a poem with the right kind of structure and form, it will be a great success,” says Shesho.”
A good travel poem should be short and simple.
It should not have much dialogue.
It shouldn’t have any complicated thoughts.
It needs to be simple and direct.
A travel poem can be simple, and can be easy.
It can be long and difficult, and it can also be simple,” he says.”
If you want a travel poem that’s easy, it might be written by a young person with a big dream, or a writer who doesn’t write poetry at all, or someone who wants to express themselves in a more poetic way,” he adds.
Seshe points out that a travel poet should not just be a young writer who writes in a short form.
“It has to be clear and not too complicated,” he explains.
“A travel poem shouldn’t be complicated.
It’s not about writing poetry for a living.
You should write poetry to express yourself.
A poet should have a deep voice.”
The book’s title reflects the fact that the book is not meant to cater to the typical reader, Sheshe says.
It should be for people who want a short, easy poem.
It will be easy to read, and easy to write.
“Sheshe also says the title of the book will be based on a travel scene in Jerusalem, but it’s not meant for a specific city.
It was inspired by the Jerusalem Bus, which runs around the city.
Shed says that, although the title is short, the book’s goal is to be more than just a short poem.”
The aim of the travel book is to create a short travel poem, a poetic travel poem,” he emphasizes.
The travel poems in the book include the words of the poet Shlomo Avineri, a Palestinian who traveled to Israel from the West Bank and then Lebanon in the 1980s.
She says that the poet’s poem, called Be’er Sheva, is a long, simple poem that is meant for the poetry stage.
It also contains a lot of poetic content.
The poet says it is not about a single line of text, but about the journey.”
I want to share the journey with the reader,” he writes in the poem.
Shertz says that although the poem is not long, it has a great deal of meaning, and that it’s meant to serve as a way for the reader to experience the world.”
For the traveler who wants an easy poem, this is a great book.
It makes a long travel poem into a beautiful travel poem.
For the traveler with a voice, this book is a poem for a poem,” says Cheri Sheshel, editor of Shorts Travels Urll.
The work of Shaysha Haim, a Jerusalem-based poet, was published in 2013. “
The reader can make his own decision, as to whether this is for them or not,” she says.
The work of Shaysha Haim, a Jerusalem-based poet, was published in 2013.
Haim says that she hopes Shorts travel poems will become a source of inspiration for young people in Israel.
“They can have a sense of a journey that doesn’t have much in the way of dialogue,” she explains.
“Shorts travels are about exploring places and things in their everyday lives, and they can also become a platform for sharing experiences.
I think this is something that we can use as a great source of motivation and inspiration,” she adds.
The Shorts book will come out on June 30. | <urn:uuid:2d656cd9-b25a-458a-81ea-11fd5f3aa285> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://statusmasala.com/2021/09/25/which-travel-poem-is-right-for-you/ | 2021-10-20T23:06:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585353.52/warc/CC-MAIN-20211020214358-20211021004358-00672.warc.gz | en | 0.973781 | 989 | [

Grain products are a very important part of our daily diet. They provide us with carbohydrates and many other nutrients that give us energy and allow us to partake in our daily activities and tasks. Canada’s Food Guide recommends that we get most of our grain products by consuming whole grains. Whole grains are not processed in the way white breads, cereals, and crackers are and therefore are a great source of nutrition when eaten in appropriate portions.
Many of our KES Breakfast Clubs tend to serve the same grains each week; whole wheat bread, bagels, crackers and whole grain cereals such as Cheerios and Mini Wheats. These choices are safe, basic and simple. We think they are perfect, but if you are looking to switch things up and add some new grain choices to your menu here are some ideas that are fun, different and can still be affordable for your KES Club:
- Pinwheels made with wholegrain tortilla wraps, yogurt and fruit
- Homemade trail mix made with various cereals that you have on hand, dried fruits, granola, etc
- Mini muffins made with whole grain flour and fruit/berries
- Whole wheat English muffins instead of toast and bagels. You can make egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches with these…it would be a nice treat, especially for the older students.
- Use granola to top a yogurt and berry parfait
Switch up the grain and enjoy!!

Local authorities invest in networking and contact centre technology through IT outsourcing contracts. Helping local councils get connected.
Councils get connected and help the wider community
Cheshire East Council is working with technology service provider Capita to build a wide area network (WAN) to connect more than 500 public services sites. An article published yesterday by Computer Weekly explains all.
The £8m, five-year contract will see council, school, fire service and police operations in the county connected by the network. This is part of the government’s £5bn Network Services 2 framework.
Why set up a WAN?
A wide area network (WAN) is a data network, usually used for connecting computers, that spans a wide geographical area. WANs are used to connect offices, towns, counties and help councils get connected. WANs are often used by larger organizations to facilitate the exchange of data. A wide variety of industries have embraced WANs with facilities at multiple locations. Increasingly, however, even small businesses are utilizing WANs as a way of increasing their communications.
The benefit of WANs
Although WANs serve a purpose similar to that of local area networks (LANs), WANs are structured and operated quite differently. The user of a WAN usually does not own the communications lines that connect the remote computer systems. Instead, the user subscribes to a service through a telecommunications provider. Unlike LANs, WANs typically do not link individual computers, but rather are used to link LANs. WANs also transmit data at slower speeds than LANs. WANs are also structurally similar to metropolitan area networks (MANs), however provide communications links for distances greater than 50km.
Advantages of WANs
Do you have a wide area network (WANs) at your company? If you have multi sites or operate globally, you probably do. That is because WANs are powerful business tools. They make it possible for large organizations to communicate internally faster and more efficiently. They also make it possible for consumers to enjoy company benefits they could not enjoy in the past.
- Boosts your privacy: Setting up a WAN allows you to share sensitive data with all your sites without having to send the information over the Internet.
- Increases bandwidth: Corporate WANS often use leased lines instead of broadband connections to form the backbone of their networks.
- Eliminates Need for ISDN: WANs can cut costs by eliminating the need to rent expensive ISDN circuits for phone calls. Instead, you can have your WAN carry them.
- Guaranteed uptime: Many WAN providers offer business-class support. That means you get a specific amount of uptime monthly, quarterly, or yearly as part of your service level agreement.
- Cuts costs and increase profits: In addition to eliminating the need for ISDN, WANs can help you cut costs and increase profits in a wide variety of other ways.
Disadvantages of WANs
While WANS provide numerous advantages, they have their share of disadvantages. As with any technology, you need to be aware of these downsides to make an informed decision about WANS. The three most critical downsides are high setup costs, security concerns, and maintenance issues.
- High setup costs: WANs are complicated, complex and expensive to set up.
- Security Concerns: WANs open the way for certain types of internal security breaches. such as unauthorized use, information theft, and malicious damage to files.
- Maintenance Issues: Maintaining a WAN is a challenge, no doubt about it. Guaranteeing that your data centre will be up and operating 24/7 is the biggest maintenance challenge of all.

Morrison County is stuck in somewhat of a limbo stage in terms of redistricting.
County Auditor Chelsey Robinson went through the process with the County Board, Tuesday.
The Minnesota State Legislature has a deadline of Feb. 15, 2022, to complete its redistricting plan for federal Congressional and state legislative boundaries. Once that is complete — but not until it is done — cities and townships have until March 29, 2022, to formally adopt their apportionment plans. Only then can county boards begin the formal process of adopting their redistricting plan, with a deadline for completion by April 26, 2022.
“Redistricting is the process of redrawing the boundaries of election districts done in the United States done after the completion of the decennial census,” Robinson told the Board. “The purpose of redistricting is to ensure that the people of each district are equally represented.”
Under Minnesota statute, counties are required to redistrict if precinct boundaries that were formerly a commissioner district are no longer there, if there have been annexations that created non-contiguous districts or if a district population varies by more than 10% of the average of the population for the county. County districts must be as equal in population as is practical and be compact and contiguous.
The stipulation that the population may not vary by more than 10% of the average of the population for the county is what may end up causing, if nothing else, a time crunch for the Board. As the city of Little Falls works through redistricting its wards — which may not happen until March 2022, depending on the Legislature — its final plan will impact the population in three of the five total county districts.
Before it can approve a plan, Morrison County must also publish its proposed redistricting plan for three weeks, hold a public hearing and pass a resolution.
“The timing is quite tight,” Robinson said. “I’ll be in communication with the city of Little Falls. My recommendation would be, when we get to that point, to work with the city and gather their drafts and their plans. Say they have three plans, or five plans, we would make our plans based off of those plans.”
According to 2020 census numbers, in their current form, only one of the five county commissioner districts does not meet the 10% threshold. But, because of that, redistricting is necessary to even out the population and bring all of the districts into compliance with statute.
The 10% threshold is figured out by dividing the total population according to the 2020 census — 34,010 — by the number of commissioner districts. Morrison County has five. That comes to an average of 6,802 residents per district. Ten percent of that number is 680 — meaning all of the five districts must have a population within 680 of the 6,802 average.
District 1, which is represented by Mike LeMieur and consists of the cities of Motley, Randall and Little Falls ward three, along with Cushing, Darling, Green Prairie, Motley, Rosing and Scandia Valley townships, is the district that does not currently meet the 10% threshold. The district has a population of 7,663, which is 861 people more than the average residents per district. A total of 181 people would have to be removed for it to meet the 10% threshold.
The challenge becomes how to best shift those residents around to even out the numbers, while still keeping everything contiguous and compact. However, the commissioners must also attempt to make the change in population less than 5% to avoid making LeMieur run for re-election.
The 5% rule states that if the district’s population changes by more than 5%, a new vote must take place for who represents that district. In the case of Morrison County, 5% of the 6,802 average is 340. That number represents the total voters impacted by redistricting. So, even if the number of overall voters in a district changes by only 10 after redistricting, if 170 people were shifted out of that district and 180 new ones were brought in, that would equal 350 voters affected, and it wouldn’t meet the 5% rule.
“The county commissioner would then need to run again,” Robinson said. “It’s not simply the net change in the size of population of the district before and after redistricting, but the total number of individuals affected by redistricting that needs to be considered.”
Currently, districts 2, 3, 4 and 5 meet all requirements to remain as is, but what Little Falls decides in terms of its ward reapportionment could change that.
District 2, represented by Jeffrey Jelinski, consists of the city of Harding and Little Falls ward two along with Belle Prairie, Buh, Platte and Ripley townships. It has a population of 6,305, which is 497 less than the average per district.
District 3, represented by Randy Winscher, is made up of the city of Royalton and Little Falls ward one along with Bellevue and Little Falls townships. The district’s population of 6,785 is only 17 less than the average.
Both Jelinski’s and Winscher’s districts could be directly impacted by the Little Falls reapportionment plan.
“Currently, the city of Little Falls has three wards,” Robinson said. “They have to be equal and practical in population size. Ward three is 2,596, Ward two is 3,861 and ward one is 2,683. They need to balance that as best they can over the three wards to have equal representation within the city council.”
If the numbers change in the county districts that cover the city, based on Little Falls’ redistricting, that could also have a trickle down effect on county districts 4 and 5.
Currently, District 4, represented by Mike Wilson, consists of the cities of Buckman, Genola, Hillman, Lastrup and Pierz, along with Agram, Buckman, Granite, Hillman, Lakin, Leigh, Morrill, Mount Morris, Pierz, Pulaski and Richardson townships, has a population of 6,764. That is only 38 away from the average of 6,802.
District 5, represented by Greg Blaine, consists of the cities of Bowlus, Elmdale, Flensburg, Sobieski, Swanville and Upsala, along with Culdrum, Elmdale, Parker, Pike Creek, Swan River, Swanville and Two Rivers townships. It has a population of 6,493; 309 less than the average.
Even as it sits right now, there are only so many options the County Board has in regard to its own redistricting plan — not even factoring in the Little Falls situation.
“Because District 1 is over by 181, it doesn’t mean that you can just scoop 181 out of population,” Robinson said. “You have to move a city or township. You have to go by some lines that are there.
“In order to balance with the least impact, you can’t look at Darling (Township),” Robinson continued. “If you were to move Darling, Randall would be hanging out by itself, and you can’t do that because they have to be compact. If you were to move Randall into District 5, that would still meet the requirements of compact, contiguous. If you look at those numbers for the city of Randall, it would bring District 1 where it needs to be and then District 5 would remain under the 10% threshold.”
Ultimately, it will be up to the County Board to figure out the new boundaries. While it can have plans in place and know certain directions it wants to go, nothing can be finalized until after Little Falls’ job is done.
Blaine said, what he took away from the discussion, was that there was a lot of work that needs to be done. However, the County Board can’t do much at this point. Given the time crunch, Robinson suggested the County Board keep a finger on the pulse of what the city is considering so that it is ready to publish a plan as soon as the Little Falls City Council approves its plan.
“There’s no way that we could wait until the city is completely done and then us scramble within a short amount of time and then have that ready to be published for three weeks, hold a hearing and adopt a resolution,” Robinson said. “My suggestion would be for moving forward, I’ll be in contact with the city of Little Falls.”
“We don’t really have much of a choice,” Jelinski said. “The bottom line is, we have to wait for whatever the city of Little Falls is ultimately going to do. We have to virtually react and then come up with our plan based upon what they bring forward.” | <urn:uuid:b1cb2925-ac60-41a1-a8b5-ed47df254587> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.hometownsource.com/morrison_county_record/news/morrison-county-must-wait-to-finalize-redistricting-plan/article_79652a6e-2282-11ec-a3ad-93f26cfb6537.html | 2021-10-22T11:56:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585507.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022114748-20211022144748-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.971371 | 1,867 | [

The Tadpoles room is inviting and airy with plenty of opportunities for children to get snug with a book and have cuddles with staff. There are plenty of toys and activities to explore, be imaginative with and develop all areas of their learning. We have structured ‘group times’ where we sing songs and action rhymes to encourage communication and for the children to express themselves and play alongside each other. All members of staff are trained in baby signing and it is often taught to the babies to help them communicate.
The ratio of staff to children in Tadpoles is three children to one member of staff but with 5 members off staff in the room we are often well above ratio.
We create care routines that are adapted to each individual child’s needs and every effort is made on a daily basis to ensure parents wishes are adhered to as much as possible within nursery whilst their child is being cuddled and cared for! | <urn:uuid:db9c5530-b776-44fd-a8d2-38add82a7d26> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.littlepeople-longridge.co.uk/school-classes/tadpoles/ | 2021-10-22T13:26:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585507.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20211022114748-20211022144748-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.981416 | 204 | [

How can you judge that? I really don't know if Twofish is stronger than AES,
or IDEA, or 3DES. As far as I know, all 2 are currently unbreakable.
Besides, for a bank, outruling 3DES as in your example because it would be
to weak is ridiculous. Even if it would be possible to crack, the costs to
do so would be either very low (cipher is really broken), or much higher

With less than a month until primary elections in North Carolina, candidates for various federal, state and local offices are ramping up their campaigns.
Jenny Marshall and DD Adams, the two Democratic Party candidates vying for a seat in the United States House of Representatives, are determined to knock Virginia Foxx, longtime incumbent for North Carolina’s 5th District, out of office.
Foxx, a Banner Elk resident, was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2004, and has been the 5th district’s representative ever since. As the incumbent’s sixth term in congress comes to an end, Marshall and Adams, both residents of Winston-Salem, are on campaigns to replace Foxx in the nation’s capital by winning the general election in November. But only one of the two will make it out of primary elections May 8.
During a visit to Boone in March, DD Adams told High Country Press she is a Winston-Salem native in her third term on city council. Meanwhile, Jenny Marshall, an Indiana-born public school teacher who has lived in the 5th district since 2012, said in a phone interview that she has been an active member of the Democratic National Committee since the late 1980s.
Although Marshall and Adams are facing off against each other for Democrat’s votes in the primary elections, both agree more can be done for the 5th district.
“Foxx has been in office for a long time, but she’s failed the people of the 5th district,” Adams said.
“Virginia Foxx has done very little in regards to things that have actually had an impact to help people here in the 5th district,” Marshall said.
“She has no body of work,” Adams said. “It doesn’t have anything that you can ask a person in this district what she has done to affect their quality of life—it’s not there.”
“She has voted against every single pro-environmental bill that has come before her,” Marshall said. “She actually has a zero rating from the League of Conservation Voters.”
“She has not done anything as chair of education,” Adams said. “We have students in North Carolina in the 5th district struggling to pay these student debts, and she didn’t come up with any corrective action or preventative action.”
“She has been a supporter of for-profit colleges, even though North Carolina has some of the best colleges in the country and a wonderful university system,” Marshall said. “She helped to loosen some regulations for for-profit universities, mainly because they were just big donors to her campaign.”
“She voted no to raising the minimum wage when it was stuck at $5.85 an hour,” Marshall said. “I have to say, Virginia Foxx has not been standing on the side of the people.”
“She’s been standing on the side of big multi-national corporations, and lobbyists who fund her campaigns,” Marshall said.
“My belief is that the people will declare the winner of this campaign, and I think the people are now tired of representatives being bought and sold with money, and they don’t represent us anymore,” Adams said.
“I think our elected officials oftentimes kowtow down to their corporate donors and the big-money interests that donate to their campaigns,” Marshall said. “I think that’s a pretty sad reality that the Citizens United ruling kind of exploded into our political system.”
“We have politicians like our incumbent right now raising two and a half, three million dollars,” Adams said. “I’ll never be able to raise that money, nor will the person that’s running against me.”
“We need people that are not afraid to come home, not afraid to meet you on the street or anywhere else and let you talk to me and tell me what you want, because if I’m not making your life better, I’m working on the wrong thing,” Adams said. “In Corporate America, that’s how you get fired.”
Whether Foxx is fired by the people of the 5th congressional district or elected to a seventh term as representative remains uncertain, at least until primaries next month. While Democrats vote between Adams and Marshall on their primary ballots, Republicans will choose between the incumbent Foxx, Dillon Gentry or Cortland J. Meader at the polls May 8.
Neither Foxx nor Meader responded to High Country Press requests for interview.
Dillon Gentry, a 25-year-old former infantry squad leader in the United States Marine Corps, is running in his first race for political office. In a phone interview, Gentry declined to comment on his opponents, focusing instead on systemic issues that motivated him to run for congress.
“I think the issues are broader than individual reps,” Gentry said. “I don’t think one congressman is going to change anything.”
“Our representatives were intended to be more of a civic service, more like jury duty,” Gentry said. “Right now, with our congressmen, the people that have the money to spend are who’s going to win the election, and that’s just absurd to me.”
At this point in the primary race, Gentry, who funded his campaign on his own dime, has little hope of winning the primary vote over Foxx.
“I don’t think I’m going to win because she has $3 million, and she’s already spent almost a million,” Gentry said. “There’s just no way to combat that.”
Despite his low sense of efficacy in this election, Gentry said one of the main reasons he ran for federal office is to inspire other young people to do the same.
“Right now, you’ve got a lot of very intelligent people that stay out of politics,” Gentry said. “We would have a much different world if those same people felt like there was actually some utility in it.”
Once primary elections are decided May 8, the two remaining candidates for U.S. House Representative will have nearly six months to continue their campaigning in North Carolina’s 5th Congressional District before the general election in early November. For any politician, it’s a long road to the District of Columbia, and it’s true the citizens ultimately decide who will represent them on Capitol Hill; however, only the votes cast will count. | <urn:uuid:d8d612d4-fec0-4ea9-b24e-74896cf97487> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.hcpress.com/front-page/hcp-exclusive-disgruntled-5th-district-candidates-determined-fight-incumbent-foxx-polls.html | 2021-10-24T00:14:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585828.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023224247-20211024014247-00112.warc.gz | en | 0.979235 | 1,426 | [

As part of its bid for one of the last large plots of undeveloped land in the heart of Seattle’s tech hub, Alexandria committed to building 175 subsidized apartments for low-income residents, a $5 million donation to address homelessness, a new community center for Seattle Parks and Recreation, bicycle and pedestrian improvements on Eighth Avenue and Mercer Street and more. In addition, the city plans to spend $78.2 million of proceeds from the sale on measures meant to address Seattle’s affordable housing and homelessness crises.
“This is a generational opportunity to take an underutilized city property and make a real transformational investment to create jobs, create more affordable and mixed-income housing and build more safe transportation connections,” Durkan said at a press briefing about the sale last week.
The so-called Mercer Megablock is a 2.8-acre plot bordered by Roy and Mercer streets to the north and south and Aurora and Ninth avenues to the west and east. Dexter Avenue divides the property in two. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) bought the land to serve as construction-equipment storage during the five-year Mercer Corridor project. When that wrapped up in 2015, the city was left with an extremely valuable plot of land it no longer needed.
The city bundled the 2½ city blocks into one parcel for sale and put out a request for proposals (RFP) in July 2018 for developers around the country to submit bids. The RFP required a few things, including meeting LEED gold building standards and paying for environmental remediation on site. It didn’t mandate that developers build affordable housing or provide public space on the site, but said these were priorities for the city.
The city received bids from seven developers in October. They selected Alexandria’s bid, which the city estimates includes $275 million to $305 million worth of public benefits, and negotiated final terms over the winter and spring.
Alexandria is a publicly traded real estate investment trust with properties in New York, San Francisco, Boston, North Carolina’s Raleigh-Durham “Research Triangle” and elsewhere. In Seattle, it owns or is in the process of constructing 1.5 million square feet of space for Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center, University of Washington, Bristol-Myers Squibb and others.
The company plans to build a two-building life sciences campus on the larger megablock parcel east of Dexter. The exact design is still to be determined, but each building can be about 16 stories tall. One of the buildings will contain a 30,000-square-foot public community center operated by Seattle Parks, which will pay no rent on the space for 40 years. The other building could possibly contain ground floor commercial space or a restaurant.
In order to combine two blocks into one parcel, the Seattle City Council voted to vacate the block of Eighth Avenue that previously ran through the eastern portion of the megablock. In exchange for use of Eighth Avenue, Alexandria must build a publicly accessible pedestrian plaza on the old street. The developer is also extending the Mercer Street-protected bike lane from its current end at Dexter east to Ninth Avenue.
The commercial properties will likely contribute $7 million to $9 million to the city’s affordable housing fund through Mandatory Housing Affordability (MHA) program payments.
On the half-block parcel west of Dexter, Alexandria plans to build 175 units of subsidized affordable housing. The building will include a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments affordable to households earning 60 percent of area median income or less, which works out to about $42,000 annually for an individual. Alexandria is obligated to keep those units subsidized for 50 years. City officials said that it would have taken about $17.5 million in city funding, plus another two to three times that in state and other funding sources, to build the equivalent amount of affordable housing. It’s not all charity for the developer, however. In agreeing to build and subsidize the affordable housing, the city dropped about $38 million off the sale price.
Alexandria is also considering building as many as 190 market-rate apartments in the same building. If it does, it will likely participate in the city’s Multifamily Tax Exemption program, which gives the company a property tax break in exchange for subsidizing 20% to 25% of the apartments at prices affordable to someone earning 80% of area median income (currently about $57,920 a year for an individual). The city estimates that many market-rate units would also generate $3 million to $4 million for the city housing fund through MHA.
In June, the company also bought the privately owned half block next to the piece of Mercer Megablock where it will build housing. The site is currently home to Copiers Northwest and sold for $28.5 million.
Alexandria is also giving the city $5 million for a one-time expenditure meant to address the homelessness crisis. City Budget Director Ben Noble could not provide an example of what that expenditure might be, but said he believed these are needs that are “truly one time,” meaning the city wouldn’t later have to find a recurring revenue source to continue paying for a program.
“Our goal is to create a new model of urban development that supports our mission to advance human health while also addressing some of our community’s most pressing challenges,” said John Cox, Alexandria’s senior vice president for the Seattle market. “The Mercer Megablock provides a tremendous opportunity to build a fully integrated, mixed-use life science campus.”
Alexandria did not specify why it was willing to pay so much in public benefit on top of the already pricey land. But Steven Shain, the city budget office project manager who led negotiations on the megablock sale, said, “One truism is they don’t make much more land these days and they’re not making more land in South Lake Union. … Alexandria sees Seattle as where they want to be and grow.”
The megablock was the center of a debate about how Seattle should reuse underutilized public land. Last fall, the Seattle City Council passed a resolution stating that when possible, city-owned property should be used to build affordable housing. Advocates argued that using the Mercer Megablock to build thousands of units of affordable housing in the heart of the city would be a logical step in the face of Seattle’s ongoing affordable housing shortage. But Budget Director Noble said the private sale has facilitated far more housing and other public benefit at a lower cost to the city. “We would’ve forgone way too many things," he said. "For one, we would’ve had to find revenue for building the housing, which, as we know, we have a shortage of.”
About $29.1 million of the $138.5 million sale price will go toward repaying debts the city incurred to purchase the land in the first place or borrowing against the value of the land over the past few years; $16.7 million will be spent on bicycle, pedestrian and transit projects; and $9.2 million will be used to offset a budget hole created by unexpectedly low commercial parking tax revenue in 2018.
The bulk of the available funding will be invested in affordable housing programs. About $15 million will be used as a revolving loan fund through the city’s Equitable Development Initiative to help nonprofit developers acquire land for low-income housing developments.
The city will use $42.2 million to buy property for affordable housing development in neighborhoods with high risk of displacement, especially around future light rail stations.
Approximately $15 million will be used to build affordable homes meant to be purchased by low-income residents. “We know that investing in permanent affordable homeownership is an effective tool for addressing displacement and for advancing racial equity,” said Leslie Brinson, Durkan’s senior policy adviser.
Finally, $6 million will be spent to create a loan program meant to help low-income homeowners construct basement apartments or backyard cottages. “There’s an inequitable access to capital for folks,” said Brinson. “We’re looking at how we work with low- and middle-income homeowners so they can access the benefits of the land use changes and create affordable ADUs [accessory dwelling units] in their homes or on their property.”
Alexandria is likely still a few years from starting construction. The city council is expected to approve the land deal in September. The transaction between the city and Alexandria will close in early 2020. Then permitting and construction can begin later that year or in early 2020.
Correction: An earlier version of this story misspelled Leslie Brinson's name. The story has been corrected.
Update: The story has been updated to explain what 60% area median income equals in annual salary. | <urn:uuid:fea9d9ee-7db2-4d3e-8cd4-7c33b2a1c2d7> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://crosscut.com/2019/08/1435m-mercer-megablock-deal-will-bring-science-campus-affordable-housing-south-lake-union | 2021-10-25T10:39:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587659.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025092203-20211025122203-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.950434 | 1,861 | [

I get a bit eclectic with this recipe and mix Asian with Mexican cuisines. I like to do that sometimes. I have made roast chicken and avo Vietnamese rolls before which I wrapped in crunchy cos lettuce with an anchovy-spring-onion-mayo dressing. The were rather nice.
Rice paper is very neutral in flavour so serves as good ‘carrier to wrap a variety of food. Summer is around the corner and I didn’t want anything bready.
The other reason I made this recipe is because I had an abundance of avocado’s that needed to be eaten. In season, what better way than to knock a quick and easy rustic gaucamole.
Mildly obsessed with chipotle, I cooked these fabulous sustainable tiger prawns in a simple marinade and pan fried with lime juice.
To make this marinade, I mashed up a chipotle chilli and added about one tablespoon of the adobo sauce it came in until I got a smoothish paste. I did this in the pestle and mortar. I then tossed the deveined, de headed and cleaned prawns in this sauce and allowed them to marinate for a while. The longer the better. * place the prawns in a plastic bag to coat with the marinade.
I made the gaucamole by simply smashing about three avos, adding chopped coriander (cilantro), finely sliced spring onions, chopped pickled jalapeno chillies (as much as you like) and adding salt and lime juice. Taste as you go and mix it up to your own taste. I like it green and rather chunky which gives the gaucamole texture and bite.
Heat a couple of tablespoons of sunflower or canola oil in a frying pan and fry the prawns quickly, turning them, until they turn pink and golden on the outside. If you don’t feel like going to all the trouble to make the wraps, the prawns are delicious on their own or with the guacamole.
Set aside and generously spritz with fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes.
I also finely sliced cucumber into julienne strips as I wanted more crunch, and assembled the wraps by adding all three of these elements and then rolling them up.
To see more detail on how to roll them, check out the roast chicken wrap recipe.
Serve with wedges of lime and something really cold and delicious to drink. I think a mojito would be fabulous.
Oh, and if you are looking for chipotle in adobo sauce, Main Ingredient sells the real deal – check out their website.
I look forward to connecting with you again in the future. | <urn:uuid:63bd51c8-054e-4d0e-a6e0-272e0e6f6711> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://drizzleanddip.com/2012/09/12/how-to-make-chipotle-prawn-and-gaucamole-rice-paper-wraps/ | 2021-10-25T11:20:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587659.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025092203-20211025122203-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.941753 | 578 | [

Think of the number of times people stop to read through advertisement literature amidst their busy schedules, and you will discover that it is declining by the day. Entrepreneurs promote their brands because they need to close sales at the end of the day and so adopting the right marketing strategy, in this case, is a necessity.
If you are a B2B marketer or salesperson, then you understand the importance of capturing the attention of the individuals you are targeting within the shortest duration possible. Video marketing is becoming a buzzword in the business world even as more and more entities adopt this approach. There is no better way of winning the attention of your audience than through the use of videos, and that is why this option is increasingly becoming popular.
How Video Marketing Is Transforming Enterprises
You can tell a lot about your brand using literature, but you will achieve less than your investment through this option because it does not capture the attention of viewers in the best way possible. Videos, on the other hand, show various aspects of your brand, which implies that you can explain sophisticated techniques using this visual strategy because it gives you the power to demonstrate what you are offering.
It is a fact that people understand videos much better than narrations, and when you use the former in your email campaigns, you will realize increased sharing and forwarding, a surge in click-through rates, and your audience will spend more time reading your emails as well.
Video marketing has the power of reaching the masses by capturing the attention of viewers in a way that leaves lasting memories in their minds, and that is how it is transforming organizations around the world. It is possible to use videos only as your marketing strategy, but you can blend them with content too when promoting your brand to create emphasis or make your message clearer, and that will give you an upper hand by establishing your position in the market.
Winning the hearts of your target audience can make them brand ambassadors, and that will be an added advantage if you are seeking to expand your operations. The probability of people commenting, embedding, and sharing video content is quite high, which is not the case for social posts and blogs, and when that happens, it bears a positive impact on your firm.
Who Should Be Doing Video Marketing?
Today, there are videos for just about anything on various online platforms, and whether someone is just unwinding or needs some in-depth insight, they will find a video that offers the solution they are seeking. Entrepreneurs should consider investing in video marketing if there is a demand for;
Humanizing Their Brands
Buyers connect more with videos because they can put a face on your products or services. The challenge of using content only as your marketing strategy is that you will limit your audience to text only and as a result, humanizing your brand becomes a challenge. Videos make your brand alive when you use real people to tell the story about the latter, and that will help you engage your audience better.
Building Trust with Customers
You need to win the confidence of your clients to close a sale, and that is not possible if they cannot trust your brand to meet or even exceed their expectations. Videos allow you to demonstrate how your products work and the results they deliver using real-life examples, and that is how you gain the confidence of your clients, which, in turn, builds trust and long term business relations.
Retaining Existing Clients
As you focus on targeting potential buyers, you cannot afford to overlook the importance of maintaining existing customers. Remember that online competition is going a notch higher, and companies that do not adapt accordingly may fail in one way or another. Video marketing is a strategic way of retaining the clients you already have in your portfolio, even as you seek to add more of these on that list.
Why Should You Use Video in Marketing and Sales?
Every builder counts the cost of setting up a particular structure before they start on the task, and this also applies to business operators when considering where they should invest. Most probably, you already have a marketing strategy that is still delivering the results you expect as an entrepreneur, but if you are not video marketing your brand yet, you should consider doing so, and here are the reasons why making such a decision will be a wise idea.
Realizing A Return on Investment
Some business operators have bitter memories about investments that did not yield returns, and part of the reasons for this is buying into specific ideas without doing thorough research. The internet is awash with details of how video marketing is helping businesses double and even triple their profits, which makes it a worthwhile venture because it will give you value for your money.
Engages The Laziest of Buyers
Most people do not research before making a purchase either because they are too busy, or they are just not into reading a lot of literature. The sight of your brand in motion has the potential of engaging lazy buyers, and video marketing will make that a possibility.
It Is Appealing to Mobile Users
Various individuals spend much of their time on mobile devices, and these tools provide an excellent opportunity for reaching them. Video is part of the content that mobile users consume the most, and when you use it as a marketing tool, it becomes the most appealing option for capturing those who use mobile devices.
Video Marketing Platforms for Businesses
Business owners that are not using videos to spread the word about their products or services are sacrificing on the many benefits that come with this marketing solution. If you are planning to embrace video marketing as an entrepreneur, here are some of the platforms you can use.
Having become the second largest search engine in the world, YouTube can help you reach millions when you use it to share videos for promoting your brand. YouTube offers fantastic features that allow you to advertise even as you build your brand, and you can also track the performance of your videos once you upload them.
When you subscribe to Vidyard services, you can customize the video player, leverage the useful thumbnails, and track the performance of your video marketing strategy. Although you need to pay for Vidyard services, the platform allows you fourteen days to enjoy everything it offers for free.
Acquiring an agile tool is critical if you want your video marketing strategy to succeed, and that is what you achieve through Sprout Video. Some of the services you will enjoy when you invest in Sprout Video include the privacy setting option for addressing specific issues, the integration of videos in marketing content as a result of curating playlists, call to action, email collection forms, tracking those who interact with the videos you upload, among others.
The rise of video marketing has become a game-changer in the B2B arena, and if you want to set yourself apart or become an authority in this line of business, you should adopt this strategy as part of your sales and marketing strategy. | <urn:uuid:ea146c57-0a10-44b0-8dc0-fb5340c19b16> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.closedwon.com/the-advent-of-video-marketing-and-its-impact-on-businesses/ | 2021-10-25T09:56:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587659.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025092203-20211025122203-00192.warc.gz | en | 0.952043 | 1,392 | [

35 members of staff and students attended the December meeting. The majority of people had never attended an UMBUG meeting and had heard about the meeting via the Manchester-Staff weekly email. Here’s a basic summary of what was discussed.
Welcome and Introduction
- Andrew Hough has recently been appointed as the Green Travel Coordinator for the Manchester Higher Education Precinct (The University of Manchester, MMU, RNCM and the NHS Hospitals on the Oxford Road Corridor). Cycling is one of the aspects of sustainable travel for which he has responsibility.
- Given the scale of the task he has and that he is working unsupported he requested volunteers and support from members of UMBUG.
- His involvement in UMBUG seeks to establish a point of reference for cycling matters for all staff and students.
The current situation at the University
- The University has recently opened some new secure bike storage locations. These are controlled by swipecard access and are only available to staff and postgraduates. A decision was made during the planning phase that these would not be made available to undergraduates. The reasoning for this is that staff and postgrads tend to work in the same location on a consistent basis, meaning that if they commute by bike the same bike tends to be locked in the same location on a daily basis making it an easier target for thieves. The transient nature of undergraduates it can be argued makes their bikes less vulnerable.
- The new facilities have been generally well received and there was thanks from UMBUG to Damian Oatway who was representing Estates (he commutes by bike each day from Bolton). There was some feed back to say that the new facilities needed an automatic door closure mechanism or alarm buzzer so people remembered to close the door. There has been a reported theft from within the secure compounds already. The facility at Stopford is over subscribed and there is a waiting list of 30-40 people. In general provision of bike parking facilities outside Stopford is insufficient and as a result bikes get locked up to all sorts of railings and metalwork.
- It was commented that the safe store under the arches on the Sackville Street site contained many abandoned bikes. There is a plan for Estates to work in conjunction with Security to remove these over the summer and donate them to a local charity.
- Work is progressing on the physical cycle link between the two campus areas. There are currently two proposals:
- The first is the widening of the existing Preferred Route path between the Materials Science Building under the Mancunian Way and Sackville Street with soft division via demarcation to create a cycle lane.
- The alternative is the development of the subway under Upper Brook Street and the Mancunian Way which would join onto the Preferred Route near the MIB building. Due to security this is less likely.
What can the University do to help current and potential cyclists – priorities
- The cycle to work scheme (being able to get a bike through your employer as a tax deductable) was raised as a priority by members of UMBUG. Andrew Hough responded stating that this was recognised and work was taking place to address this. It is a complicated issue requiring buy-in form the institutions and partnership with local bike shops.
- A cycle buddy scheme was proposed whereby established bike commuters might be able to show prospective riders established routes onto Campus that avoided the worst of the traffic.
- There is little information about the group on the University website. I’ve volunteered to help take this forward.
- Some members commented on the rapport between cyclists and bus drivers and taxi drivers. Avenues for recording driver behaviour need to be opened up.
The structure if the BUG and the route to success
- The university does have a vision for increasing the number of staff travelling to work by bike. The aim is to reach 10% by 2015. Stats from previous surveys show that in 1999 this was 5% and in 2005, it was 8%. The target is not very ambitious.
- It was felt that it might be possible to use details of staff on user lists for secure bike parks facilities and the waiting lists for these to gauge the levels more accurately.
- There is a casual driver parking scheme. Few people know about it and there is confusion over whether or not there is a waiting list to use it or not. If this scheme was more widely recognised it might encourage more people to ride in to work – especially fair weather cyclists.
- There is an annual bus and train ticket option that is available to staff via an interest free loan that is tax deductible.
- The various cycle lanes around campus are not clearly defined – i.e. not painted green or red. Outside Whitworth Park was used as an example of where this is a problem.
- It was expressed that there is a need for coordination between different bodies. i.e. The council have just invested heavily in modifying the road layout outside of Owens Park, but both here and in Rusholme, the cycle lanes are still used as parking spaces because they are not policed by the traffic wardens.
- An example was given from the University of Newcastle where the University and City Council had gone into partnership of investment and had consulted their BUG.
- The suggestion was made that council cycle officers should be invited to UMBUG meetings. It was felt that as well as Manchester City Council, officers from Tameside, Salford and Trafford should be invited too so that a coordinated policy could be established.
The online cycle forum and wishlist
- Members of UMBUG were encouraged to use the forum.
- It was clarified that it is not actually a webforum, rather a mailing list: [email protected] – Staff and PGs can sign up to use this. To join send an email to [email protected] with “subscribe university-cyclists” as the only text in the body of the email.
- The suggestion was made that a proper web forum would be useful.
- Lack of student involvement was raised. A proposal that there should be a no promotion, no exclusion policy was made.
- Members were encouraged to get involved with the Connect2 initiative.
Organisation of future meetings
- The next meeting for Manchester City Council Cycle Users Group is January 16th at the City Hall. Contact Mark Stevenson for details.
- The next UMBUG meeting is Wednesday 6th February in the Alan Turing Building.
In follow up the CycleGM website is a pretty good resource for cyclists in Greater Manchester, especially for finding contact details for people and organisations. | <urn:uuid:5be948ec-71b8-491e-b31d-2fc0fe9da1b1> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://rothar.com/2007/12/06/university-of-manchester-bicycle-user-group-meeting-umbug/ | 2021-10-26T22:12:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587926.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026200738-20211026230738-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.971011 | 1,381 | [

This hybrid comes from a German shepherd union with an Akita Inu, which gives something wonderful. Both breeds converge quite well, so their pups tend to be obedient, disciplined, and very active.
A dog of this style is ideal for the family; having it as a caregiver or companion, they are quite faithful. They are adaptable to different environments, but first, they must undergo adequate training in all senses.
What Are Some Facts About The Akita German Shepherd Mix?
Knowing a little more about this hybrid dog never hurts. It can serve to empathize more with them. Here are some little-known facts about the breed:
- They are usually called or recognized as “Shepkita” as a combination of their two races of origin.
- This dog emerged during the nineteenth century as a shepherd, then became a messenger for the German army. This happened in the first and second world wars.
- For a time, the Akita was known as the country dogs in the snow because of the area where they came from.
The Appearance Of An Akita And German Shepherd Mix
These kinds of combinations can bring a dog with very varied attitudes and who feels like a companion. This is because of who their parents are:
As indicated, this came from Germany and was developed by Max von Stephanitz, who wanted to have the ideal working dog. It all happened in 1899, and it was only a matter of time before its purity was recognized in 1908.
The Akita history is quite extensive and spectacular since it even took a royal privilege to obtain them. Considered a national treasure in Japan, they came to the United States in 1937 for a political gift to Helen Keller.
The cross between both breeds occurred during the nineteenth century, being a dog with several notable characteristics for all.
Regardless of its breed, every dog is prone to health difficulties, whether due to genetics or not. The Akita German Shepherd Mix is susceptible to these problems:
- Hip and elbow dysplasia
- Exocrine pancreas
- Perianal fistulas
- Sebaceous adenitis
- Congenital heart defect
Although there are many more diseases or ailments, it is recommended that the dog be checked immediately. Trying to guess what you have instead of looking for solutions will only slow everything down and cause the animal to suffer.
A trained veterinarian can not only diagnose more accurately, but they can also get down to business right away. When it comes to health, time is of the essence; pay attention to your pet and act if you see strange situations.
How To Care For An Akita German Shepherd Mix?
All pets need care in order not only to survive but also to be happy and feel well-being. These are some things to consider:
When you are going to adopt a dog, you must submit it to a veterinary check-up before and after obtaining it. Keeping track of his fitness is important to make sure it can live a long and happy life.
You must make sure that the dog has a balanced diet, nothing that can hurt his stomach. It is also good to be aware of everything you consume to avoid possible allergies since this is possible in animals.
A very important factor is cleanliness since a well-groomed dog in this aspect denotes love and greatness. Try to brush their hair regularly not to tangle, and be patient with shedding times.
A happy dog keeps constantly moving, in addition to being easier to handle. With 1 hour of training every day, it is possible to get a pet happy and fulfilled in every way.
In this way, the Akita German Shepherd Mix will bring out their full potential and show why they are desired. Neglecting them is not an option if you want a trustworthy and loyal companion.
How to Train German Shepherd Akita Mix?
The good thing about these dogs is that they are very active thanks to their genetics, so it is quite rewarding to train them. Here are some things to do:
- Set aside 1 hour each day for outdoor dog training.
- The designated site should be wide for running and various activities.
- Teach the Akita Shepherd various things such as walks in tandem to carry objects such as bags or keys.
- Play with outside items like frisbee or stretch ropes.
- Demanding training is also allowed; they can learn to hunt, drag, watch, and much more.
In general, these are dogs with great physical resistance and learn too quickly compared to other breeds. Due to its intelligence, it is very easy to train and meet its owner’s requirement, which is its advantage.
What Is The Personality Of An Akita German Like?
Because both breeds of this class of dogs have striking personalities, it is normal for their puppies to inherit them. These are some important features to mention:
They have enormous intelligence and are quiet
Many people have corroborated over time that Akita Shepherds are quite calm in general. At the same time, they are alert and always aware of possible dangers or threats.
They like to know that their owners are safe, so they will warn each time they sense something is happening. Parallel to this, they are extremely quiet, so you will not receive neighbors’ complaints about the dog’s barking.
A quality that these hybrids overflow is their extreme loyalty, which is mainly due to their parents. The bonds they develop with their owners can not only be strong, but they can also become overly protective.
This quality can make them aggressive if it is not controlled in time or is redirected to something more positive such as obedience. No harmful attitude is due to bad intentions. Everything is due to the loyalty they have and the desire to protect what they love.
Is Akita German Shepherd Mix A Family Dog?
In general, it can be confirmed that these types of dogs are by nature guardians due to their roots. They can become quite aggressive when they feel threatened in any way by the environment.
Akita German Shepherd Mixes are usually ideal for families with children. Also, they are perfect for people who live alone or couples looking for a friendly company. | <urn:uuid:3fa99b50-7ebd-48e2-828f-aa90c7b9de94> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.allgshepherds.com/akita-german-shepherd-mix/ | 2021-10-26T21:19:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587926.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026200738-20211026230738-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.967896 | 1,533 | [

Tragedy is all around us. Every day there are seemingly new and more sickening acts of violence and hate for others. News broadcasters talk about "unimaginable" and "unspeakable" acts every day. However, mankind as a whole is better than this, aren't we? We will overcome this, won't we? The good people in this world outnumber the bad, don't we?
I don't think so.
You could never do anything like the crimes committed in the pictures above, could you? You couldn't purposefully cause an explosion just to hurt others, could you? You couldn't participate in mass genocide of a people group, just because they are from a different tribe than yourself, could you? You couldn't send people to concentration camps to rot, could you? You couldn't capture, enslave, and torture millions of African tribesmen, could you? You couldn't force entire tribes of people off of their land , knowing they would most likely die elsewhere just because you want their land, could you? Think about the people that commit these horrendous crimes. How are you innately any different from them?
I can't speak for you, so I will speak for myself. Could I murder, rape, or commit any of these awful crimes? Of course not! Right? The thought of doing that makes my skin crawl. Why is that? What makes me better than these other people? What stops the me that is only me and no one else from doing these things? Nothing. I have decided that there is nothing in me that makes me better than these other people.
So why haven't I committed mass genocide yet? If we take a look at the people who commit these atrocities, we find that most every time their parents or others around them didn't teach them to do right, instead of wrong. This makes sense. So if the parents would just do a better job teaching them, things like this wouldn't happen. Or if we could just get positive role models for young people, then this stuff would stop happening, right? Maybe. I definitely think that would help. However, the real question is, why do we need to be taught to do good instead of evil? A child, from the time they are born, only care about themselves. They will inconvenience and even hurt others just to get their way. A good parent or parents will eventually teach the child to act differently, and a bad parent or parents will just let the child go on thinking the world revolves around them.
Why is this something that needs to be taught? Why is good behavior a learned condition? I think we are all born with some wires crossed inside of us. No matter who you are, no matter where you come from, no matter what religion you follow, if you are trying to do good things, as opposed to bad things, you have learned to do that from someone else. It is not of your inner self. The Bible calls these self serving things we do our "sin nature." This means that it is within us, when we are born, to do evil. In Galatians 5:19-21a, Paul says, "When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these." In order for good deeds to come from the inside, instead of what someone else says we should do, something inside of us needs to be fixed.
The only way I can see this happening is through Jesus. Yes, there are great people out there who do not know Jesus who do good things. (Actually I find many times that the most moral and socially aware people are not following Jesus. Shame on us.) However, all these great things that people do outside of Jesus have been learned. I want to do good things because that is what my nature tells me to do. I have come to find out this is impossible. The great news is, all is not lost. The Bible tells us precisely how we can overcome and cure this disability. Galatians 2:20 says, "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." When you give yourself to Christ, and I don't mean just believe in Him, but but really give yourself to Him, you are a new creation. You are dead! Hooray! I know that doesn't actually sound all that great, but the incredible part of it is that all of the old you is gone (including the sin nature) and Jesus has replaced it with His nature. Not the power hungry political type of religion that alot of "Christians" claim, but a nature that cares deeply for the lost, the lonely, the sick, the hurt, the poor, and the hungry. This is corroborated in 2 Corinthians 5:17 when the scriptures say, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." Jesus has given us a new commandment. This commandment basically serves to put a sign on our chest, saying "I am a disciple of Jesus." And no, surprisingly it's not an "Abreadcrumb and Fish" t-shirt. In John 13:34-35 at the last supper, in one of the last commandments Jesus gives to His disciples, He says, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” Let us, as disciples of Jesus, make a point to forget our differences and simply love one another.
The only way this world can hope to stop doing evil is to die.
We must let ourselves die, and let Jesus live and love through us. | <urn:uuid:1ba405f1-829a-40b8-a36b-74b0ec96330a> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.campbayoca.com/blog/motive-revealed-boston-marathon-bombings | 2021-10-26T20:11:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587926.9/warc/CC-MAIN-20211026200738-20211026230738-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.979414 | 1,278 | [

According to various reports in the Arab press, a wave of Americans has converted to Islam since September 11.
'Alaa Bayumi, director of Arab Affairs at the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), wrote in the
The Americans are showing increasing willingness to convert to Islam since September 11. Thousands of non-Muslim Americans have responded to invitations to visit mosques, resembling the waves of the sea (crashing on the shore) one after another. All this is happening in a political atmosphere that, at least verbally, encourages non-Muslim Americans' openness towards Muslims in
CAIR Chairman Nihad Awad told the Saudi paper 'Ukaz: "34,000 Americans have converted to Islam following the events of September 11, and this is the highest rate reached in the US since Islam arrived there."
According to Dr. Walid Al-Fatihi, instructor of medicine at
"On Saturday, September 15, I went with my wife and children to the biggest church in
After the sermon was over, he stood at my side as I read an official statement issued by the leading Muslim clerics condemning the incident (i.e., the attacks). The statement explained Islam's stance and principles, and its sublime precepts. Afterwards, I read verses of the Quran translated into English... These were moments that I will never forget, because the entire church burst into tears upon hearing the passages of the words of Allah!
"Emotion swept over us," Al-Fatihi continued. "One said to me: 'I do not understand the Arabic language, but there is no doubt that the things you said are the words of Allah.' As she left the church weeping, a woman put a piece of paper in my hand; on the paper was written: 'Forgive us for our past and for our present. Keep proselytizing to us.' Another man stood at the entrance of the church, his eyes teary, and said: 'You are just like us; no, you are better than us.'"
Al-Fatihi recounts the next day the Islamic Society of Boston issued an open invitation to the Islamic Center in
"We did not expect more than 100 people, but to our surprise more than 1,000 people came -- among them the neighbors, the university lecturers, members of the clergy, and even the leaders of the priests from the nearby churches, who invited us to speak on Islam," Fatihi wrote. "All expressed solidarity with Muslims. Many questions flowed to us. Everyone wanted to know about Islam and to understand its precepts.
Of all the questions, not a single one attacked me; on the contrary, we saw (the people's) eyes filling with tears when they heard about Islam and its sublime principles. Many of them had never heard about Islam before. Well, they had heard about Islam only through the biased media. That same day, I was invited again to participate in a meeting in the church, and again I saw the same things.
On Thursday, a delegation of 300 students and lecturers from Harvard visited the center of the Islamic Society of Boston, accompanied by the American Ambassador to
Al-Fatihi says on September 21, the Muslims participated in a closed meeting with the Governor of Massachusetts. They discussed introducing Islam into the school curriculum. He claims Gov. Jane Swift agreed to implement their plans.
"These are only some of the examples of what happened and is happening in the city of
I write to you today with the absolute confidence that over the next few years, Islam will spread in America and in the entire world, Allah willing, much more quickly than it has spread in the past, because the entire world is asking: 'What is Islam?!'" | <urn:uuid:952dbe8a-d7a0-48d4-af26-de247407699d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.islamweb.net/en/print.php?id=119772 | 2021-10-28T08:12:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588282.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028065732-20211028095732-00352.warc.gz | en | 0.970969 | 760 | [

‘Much more to do’ on stillbirth says RCM on new report
Today (Thursday, 22nd June) a report from MBRACE-UK finds that the stillbirth rate in the UK has reduced by almost 8% over the period 2013 to 2015. A current Government ambition is to halve the rates of stillbirth and neonatal death in England by 2030.
Commenting on the findings, Mandy Forrester, Head of Quality and Standards at the Royal College of Midwives, said: “This is a welcome reduction and things are moving in the right direction but there is still much more to do if we are going to match the lower stillbirth rates of other European countries.
“There is rightly a need to tackle neonatal death rates which have not fallen as much as the stillbirth rate. However, there is clearly a need to put even greater efforts into reducing both.
“The variation in stillbirth rates across the UK remains a concern. This could be because of the socio-economic wellbeing of communities, and we know inequality is linked to higher stillbirth rates and poorer outcomes for the baby. It may also be in the quality of local services and this needs investigation. It is imperative that we learn from each of these tragic deaths. Health services must strive to learn from each other about the best ways to prevent this. Sharing success stories and strategies is key to this.
“Some of these deaths will be avoidable and for all losses, we must never lose sight of the devastating impact a tragedy like this will have on parents and families, who will need skilled bereavement care. It is also a concern that some midwives undertaking bereavement care are having the number of hours they can perform this role reduced.
"We also need to be ensuring women get continuity of carer – that is the woman seeing the same midwife or small group of midwives throughout and after her pregnancy. This way the midwife will get to know the woman and will be more readily able to spot changes in her condition. Fragmented care in pressurised and overstressed services means that things can be missed.
“The RCM fully supports the campaigns by governments across the UK to reduce still births and neonatal deaths. We call for these efforts to be fully resourced including sufficient midwives and funds for care according to guidelines such as ultrasound scanning as needed and glucose tolerance tests amongst others. We also need to continue to educate and communicate with parents to be aware of the importance of reporting quickly any changes in their baby's pattern of fetal movements.
“There is also a pressing need for greater efforts around support for smoking cessation for the woman and others in the household who smoke. Smoking is a major contributor to stillbirths. Tackling and reducing smoking in pregnancy will be critical in any efforts to reduce stillbirths. Cuts to public health budgets are making it increasingly difficult for women to access these type of services.
“Quite rightly we recognise there is a focus on stillbirth reduction, but perhaps an unintended consequence of this is that we are hearing reports of increases in intervention such as induction of labour. In addition to monitoring perinatal mortality and morbidity in women, we would like the effects of interventions on the wellbeing and long term outlook for the mother to have similar attention.”

Yesterday, was my 26th birthday. I received the best gift ever.
I got oodles of Facebook wall notes wishing me well and a happy day. I wrote/posted a status update thanking everyone and indicated that I received the best gift ever on this special day.
I didn't think much of it.
Until I got a text from my dear friend Lindsay asking, "Are you pregnant? Is that the best gift ever?"
I had to read it twice before I understood that my status update on good 'ol Facebook may have been a little cryptic - and that was totally unintentional.
The best gift ever was none other than the arrival of our nephew, Liam.
This is the little bugger that I have been anxiously awaiting for some time now!
And he's here!
He came in weighing a whopping (is that sarcasm?) 5 lbs, 9 oz and is just perfect.
Since he lives in Illinois, we haven't got to meet him yet - but you can guarandarntee that we are going to meet him as soon as possible.
And then I am going to hug and kiss and squeeze him (gently, of course), and hug and squeeze his Mommy and Daddy.
I am such a proud and happy Auntie, and I could not be happier that he is now my little, tiny birthday buddy.
We love you, Liam! | <urn:uuid:d664bd13-26f9-441d-acae-ca2392fbda64> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.laurenpetersblog.com/2011/10/best-gift-ever.html | 2021-10-16T18:51:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584913.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016170013-20211016200013-00712.warc.gz | en | 0.984789 | 288 | [

Unexplained Bruises and Cuts
Nursing home residents rely upon staff members to help them with the activities of daily living. Due to physical restrictions, it is often difficult for residents to move around on their own, feed themselves, use the bathroom or bathe without some level of assistance. However, many nursing homes are understaffed, and as a result, even the most caring nursing home workers have trouble attending to all of the residents who are under their care. When staff is stretched thin and cannot provide the appropriate level of care, it is more likely that accidents will happen and residents will suffer injuries.
When residents suffer life-altering or severe injuries due to nursing home negligence or abuse, families may seek justice to hold wrongdoers accountable. Nursing home lawsuits not only help victims seek compensation for the harms caused to them, they also send a message to facilities that abuse and neglect will not go unnoticed. | <urn:uuid:76ae0d34-df29-4efc-850e-60d6fc78f661> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://dmllaw.com/areas-of-practice/nursing-homes/unexplained-bruises-and-cuts/ | 2021-10-16T18:03:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584913.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016170013-20211016200013-00712.warc.gz | en | 0.966272 | 188 | [

Release of a model to collect data on wild boar distribution and abundance across Europe: the need for data standards
The Consortium ENETWILD (established through a framework contract funded by EFSA) is focusing on the collection of wild boar abundance and occurrence data for the analysis of the risk factors of African Swine Fever (ASF) spread, and for the assessment of effectiveness of wild boar management measures in the affected areas. ENETWILD now announces the release of a normalized wild boar data model (WBDM) to populate a common database, which later will be validated and shared.
The WBDM is composed of a list of fields to be recorded, including data and metadata (which describe data and information carried by the data). The WBDM is intended to be filled by data providers, as we identified you potentially are, representing all European regions and countries. We also encourage you to distribute further to anyone else able to provide such kind of data.
ENETWILD defined the data requested in this model and their technical specifications to offer a common frame to insert them; i.e. what we call the STANDARDS. These standards are essential in order to harmonize the way similar data coming from different sources is recorded and will assure wild boar data are correctly collected, shared; and finally used. This is why the model may appear complex at a first glace, but the effort and dedication we require will be very worthwhile, in order to make data comparable.
The data requested refer to wild boar (i) hunting statistics, (ii) density and (iii) occurrence, including absence data. Therefore, different data model should be used for each type of data (see links below).
As the same data can be used for more than one purpose (e.g. hunting statistics can be used to estimate occurrence data), for each type of data (if you manage more than one) we recommend filling only one data model, which must be the most informative one (in the former example that should be the WBDM_hunting). Hunting statistics and density data models, if correctly filled, can always be converted a posteriori into occurrence (presence/absence) data.
Absence data are also of particular importance in this project and should be reported, but must be associated with a sampling effort (e.g. abundance monitoring, hunting grounds without wild boar presence and catches). Absences will be recorded in WBDM_occurrence excel file.
The WBDM is accompanied by a Data Sharing Agreement (see links below), which must be signed by the data owner, in person or by a legal representative. We also attach a document detailing the general instructions to fill and submit the data.
Please before filling any data model, read the General instructions (see link below) carefully.
FAQs will be available on the project website and assistance will be assured by ENETWILD reference partners and ENETWILD Helpdesk and the list the list of focal contacts (identify your region) provided in Annex 1 of the General Instructions document).
The time span of interest to the project is from 2013 (hunting season 2013-2014) onwards, and data collection will be a continuous activity for the next years (we ask you also to continuously provide not only already existing data, but data generated/collated in the future).
Download the files to fill in the Wild Boar Data Model
In order to be correctly filled, the spreadhseet files of data models should be downloaded (click >open online > download to your PC) don’t fill them online!
One of the two available versions should work from xls2007 to xlsx of office365. If the drop-down menus do not work properly, select the other excel available option. After the new window is opened, download the compressed files using the top left download button

Thor has seen many different forms throughout his run as a comic book legend. But the son of Odin is perhaps most powerfully depicted by Walt Simonson, during his time as artist of the Thor comics. Powerful, authoritative, and wise are three words that come to mind when you think of Thor during this important era of his reign. In order to commemorate a memorable time in Thor’s history, this Marvel Milestones Armored Thor Statue has been commissioned, but only a few will ever be made!
The God of Thunder comes across as nothing less than godly, wearing his full armor and swinging the mighty Mjolnir. His blond beard balances out his decorative helmet, lending authority and maturity to the supernatural superhero. Thor’s red cape billows behind him as he takes flight, appearing to hover in the air atop of cyclone of air that spins beneath him. This statue not only captures Thor’s majesty, but a sense of movement as well.
Standing about 12-inches tall, this monumental statue is sculpted by artist Phil Ramirez. It is sure to be a conversation piece at the center of any collection. However, just as impressive as the statue is the certificate that authenticates your statue as one of only 1,000 pieces that will be made as part of this Marvel Milestones edition! Yes, this thrilling statue has a very limited run, so you will have to pre-order it soon from Entertainment Earth, if you hope to weild the power of Asgard! | <urn:uuid:5bdf2573-d688-4345-8cbd-50af4673354c> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.entertainmentearth.com/news/thor-is-fully-armed-in-this-powerful-statue/ | 2021-10-16T18:50:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323584913.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016170013-20211016200013-00712.warc.gz | en | 0.980906 | 303 | [

I was totally surprised, and ridiculously overexcited (for a damn plugin) when I heard the update news to Fabfilter’s EQ plugin – It’ doesn’t seem that long since version 2 was out.
I’ve got to be honest. I’m going to be biased about this review. That’s because ProQ 2 is probably my most used plugin. I think EQ is THE most important element in the mix engineers toolbox. So if you’re going to invest time and money – I think you want to get the best EQ you can afford, and the one that fits your workflow the best. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this above all other EQ’s I’ve used.
First off, From using for a few weeks, it’s clear that Fabfilter have kept the important elements of the ProQ2 that drew me to it in the first place. For its quality, it’s super light on CPU – I believe even more so than the last iteration; so I can slot it on everything I need to, without making too much of a dent. It’s a super intuitive and ergonomic interface; I love that double-clicking opens up a band wherever you want it, and double-clicking to the left or right ends of the window open up low and high cuts. All that is still present in this update. It hasn’t really changed looks wise, which is good, as I think it’s the best looking EQ you can get. And you can still make it fill the screen if you want! It still has the natural and linear phase options, to maintain the balance between latency and sound quality, which I find especially useful when using those low/high cuts.
There are a ton of new features, which have been carefully and cleverly added without making the plugin sluggish, or cluttered up. I will outline the ones that I’m most excited about, but for an exhaustive list, you can check out Fabfilter’s website, and they’ll cover it all in detail.
This is a process I’m just starting to get my head around. I’ve been using Izotope’s dynamic EQ, but I much prefer the Fabfilter EQ setup, and so was excited to be able to get stuck in on the ProQ3. Dynamic EQ is a process almost identical to a multiband compressor to my understanding, but the filters are slightly different, and you have many more frequency bands to control; In the case of ProQ3 – you can use it on up to 24. It’s been really well designed, so it doesn’t get in your way when you’re not using it, but is easily accessible. It’s as quick as holding the alt key and moving your mouse wheel/scroll, and dynamic EQ appears. The threshold for compression/expansion is set automatically, but you can manually adjust it. The only thing missing here are attack and release functions. They would have added that extra bit of control needed depending on the source audio. But the fact that it’s instantaneously there if you need it gives it a huge advantage for workflow.
Need I say more? It now works in up to 7.1.2 Atmos (AAX only – 7.1 in all other formats). It automatically adapts to whatever channel you put it on. Now it is the EQ on literally everything I do. You can select which speakers to EQ in each channel. More and more stuff is coming my way wanting to be surround format, so this is a timely update for me.
More Mid-Side and Channel Control!
I love mid-side processing, and it’s become a staple part of my mix process. In ProQ3 you can now choose what part of the channel you want to process PER BAND. So you can process the full stereo channel, just L, just R, Just Mid or just side. Amazing. The color of the line changes depending on what channel selection you made for that band, which makes for easy viewing of your process.
Viewing Spectra From Another Signal
This is awesome – for when you’re trying to carve out some room between competing signals, and your ears just don’t seem to be doing the trick, you can now just overlay spectra from another channel, and clearly see where you’re carving space out or boosting on both channels; making the removal of fighting frequencies a walk in the park! Co-incidentally, the Spectrum grab has also improved with the labelling of frequencies that are popping their heads too high over the parapet.
Those listed above are the improvements or additions that I value most in this new rendition of the now classic EQ plugin. There are many more, and the best way to get your head around them all is to try it yourself for free with a 30 day free trial from their website, and then (you’ll most likely want to) buy it afterwards. Once again, I highly recommend the Fabfilter ProQ EQ. In this 3rd version, it’s more improved and more fully functioning, without any additional clutter. You can purchase for approx. $172 or upgrade from v2 for approx $70

As the summer course rages on, I know that there are quite a few students who are getting to the ‘business end’ of their course. Of course, some of you who are completing a post-graduate degree you have until September to complete or submit your final few assignments of bits of work.
From experience, this was probably the most difficult part of my post-graduate course because I was used to finishing in July and having the summer to recover but a master’s is more intense in this respect. It is draining and hard work but I thought it would be good to give you a few tips to help you get through the final few months of your post-graduate degree.
1. Manage your time well.
Make sure you space your work out well so that you don’t have to do a few mad all-nighters in order to get the work complete. So make sure you make some good foundations of work so that you are not too stressed and pressed for your deadline.
2. Don’t spend hours typing away.
I am aware that assessment varies form course to course, and this links in with my first point. For my course I had to write a thesis, so I had to spend time typing it up but, it is not useful to spend hours on end typing away because the quality of your work may start to decline as you get tired. So set weekly targets and make sure that you are not simply typing away for hours on end.
3. Eat healthy.
Stress and long work hours can mean that you want to turn to convenience food and comfort food to get you through. While a few treats may be useful, it is important to eat well and healthy. I know that when I submitted my master’s thesis I had gained 2 stone and my diet was not great to say the least! It then took me 2 years to get the weight off and amend my diet. I was also really fatigued after I submitted, and I believe that had my diet been better my health would have been a lot better.
4. Schedule treats and breaks into your work plan.
You do need to get the work done and submit but you also need to have some down time in order to keep you invigorated and fresh for your work. Make sure you take walks or exercise regularly and see your friends and family. This will help keep stress levels down and give you something to look forward to when you are in the throes of work and deadlines.
5. Think beyond your course.
I know this is probably the last thing that you would want to think about as you are working away on your thesis or bit of work. But from experience, it is better to apply for jobs as early as you can. After I completed my master’s I was unemployed for 6 months and applying for work was at times a bit dis-heartening. So apply early, but don’t spread yourself too thin. Perhaps a good compromise is to look around and maybe apply for a few things or posts but ensure that your master’s work comes first. This is a good way to break up your work but don’t get too bogged down with applications.
Completing a post-graduate degree is difficult, but it is doable. Hopefully these tips will be helpful but I think the key thing is to manage your time as best as you can. It is difficult but as long as you work hard, your efforts will be rewarded in the end.

Making a difference through architecture in the Middle East
To Dubai-based architect Tarek Qaddumi, creating a new building is like writing a book or a poem: it's all about taking a person a journey.
"As architects, we try to portray this journey as a theatrical one," Qaddumi explains. "We use the same tools that theater depends on such as lighting, color, space."
Since moving back to Dubai from the United States 15 years ago, Qaddumi has championed progressive architecture that prioritizes social issues and elevates public space, as opposed to larger, flashier private projects. Though he's designed skyscrapers and company headquarters, he's still proud of one of his smallest projects, Dubai's flagship Jones the Grocer store, which he says "truly connects with society."
"Projects that hold no message today are best described as a missed opportunity," he says.
"In all of our projects, we try to find a way to enhance the experience for the visitors to that particular space. That is what architecture is about: It's a tool used to enhance society."
Watch the video above to find out more about his architectural mission. | <urn:uuid:21d6d178-41b9-46e5-a5cc-e2758f63c14d> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://edition.cnn.com/style/article/middle-east-architecture-tarek-qaddumi/index.html | 2021-10-21T06:37:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585381.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021040342-20211021070342-00232.warc.gz | en | 0.967598 | 244 | [

A nameless orphan and a despised prince must conquer a living magic that threatens to destroy them and the people of their sprawling, beautiful land.
The first book in a fantasy series of swords, sorcery, and adventure.
A generation ago, a great war convulsed Cantwin. Amidst blood-soaked battles the Stormlifter kings rose up to save the kingdom by imprisoning the dark god Moleck in hell for all eternity.
Or so they thought.
Seventeen-year-old Lance thinks his life is just about perfect now that the prettiest girl in the village wants him. Sure, he dreams of fighting far off battles, but that’s nothing more than a fantasy. Until the elders order him away to find a name for himself.
In the dazzling capital, Lance navigates court intrigues with Prince Kieran’s unlikely friendship. Yet the glitter and gold obscures a dark conspiracy. Soon the two friends find themselves propelled to the edges of the world on a desperate quest. The stakes: Lance’s life, Kieran’s throne, and the survival of the Land itself.
Hunted by assassins, and haunted by the awakening of a strange and frightful power within them, they must find proof of Kieran’s claim to the throne before a dark god’s vengeance destroys them all. For the Power is summoning a champion, and it will not be denied.
It’s this sense of fun, combined with a fast-paced series of adventures, which constantly place Lance in dangerous situations, lends a surreal atmosphere to the story, and leads readers to become more than casually involved in the outcome of his quest …. a story packed with satisfying twists, wry humor throughout, and the coming of age of a young man just beginning to realize his strengths and weaknesses. Young adult through adult readers will relish this original, lively story. – Midwest Book Review

ECO-FUEL AFRICA WINS THE TITLE OF EEP PROJECT OF THE YEAR 2015
The Ugandan based Social Enterprise Eco-Fuel Africa won the prestigious title “Project of the Year 2015” at the annual Knowledge Exchange Forum (KEF) arranged by the Energy and Environment Partnership Programme of Southern and East Africa (EEP S&EA).
Sanga Moses, the Energy Innovator and CEO of Eco-fuel Africa, told the audience how he came about to fight the energy problem in Uganda. “On a day that I made a journey to meet my mother I met kid sister carrying wood and as she saw me she started crying. First I thought she was happy to see me but then I found out the she cried because she was tired to miss school at least twice a week to carry wood instead of attending school”. Seeing his younger sister crying and on the verge of losing the only opportunity she had to improve her life, inspired Sanga to think about an alternative source of fuel. To solve this problem Sanga quit his office job and with savings of just 500 USD he came up with an idea that he hopes that will fix part of the energy crises in Uganda.
He started Eco-fuel Africa, a Social Enterprise that works with the local communities in Uganda to convert locally sourced farm and municipal waste into clean cooking fuel briquettes that averts the use of wood-based fuels that depletes the forest. The users of the briquettes benefit from a product that burns longer, burns cleaner and is substantially cheaper than the charcoal that is regularly used.
Up till now Eco-Fuel Africa has created over 5,800 jobs for the people at the base of the pyramid by creating income sources for over 3,000 farmers and over 2,000 micro-retailers. The business model of Eco-Fuel Africa is simple. Farmers burn their farm waste, like coffee husk, sugarcane waste and corn waste, in basic kilns made out of used oil drums to create a char that can be turned into briquettes. These briquettes are then distributed by a network of micro-retailers that are exclusively single mothers as Sanga initial motivation for the business was to enable kids of single parents to enrol and stay in school. The strength of the business idea behind Eco-fuel Africa is that it brings an added social value to the local community by its decentralised approach that keeps the profits among local farmers, briquette producers, retailers and consumers.
Thanks to the funds received by EEP, Eco-Fuel Africa has been able to drastically scale up and fast track its business and today they reach over 56,000 households on a daily basis, provides 5,800 jobs for people at the base of the pyramid and has enabled 20,000 kids to enrol and stay in school. But as Sanga points out, Eco-Fuel Africa is just in an early phase on its “mission to solve the energy crises in Uganda”.
As EEP “Project of the Year 2015” Eco-Fuel Africa won the opportunity to present this extraordinary project at the African Utility Week conference in Cape Town from 17 – 19 May 2016.

We should never underestimate the importance of taking concrete actions towards actualising our goals. Yet there is a genuine distinction that has to be made if you want to take action that is truly powerful in the highest sense. I am talking about a power which emerges from the deepest core of your being.
Though I am increasingly reluctant to use the word, this power is the essence of the “spiritual”.
We all have this power within us. But it is not the kind of power that you can wield for personal gain. If you crave it you cannot have it. For like water in the palm of your hand, the attempt to grasp it dissipates the very thing you seek to possess.
There is a seemingly insignificant video on YouTube that you really should watch if you want a perfect example of Gentle Aligned Action. The video (http://ow.ly/nu54G) features Eckhart Tolle, and has been seen by a mere three thousand people at the time of writing. There is a story that Tolle tells in the video which I am going relate here (beginning at 2.08 – you can also see it at the end of this post).
Although today Tolle is one of the most famous spiritual teachers on the planet, for years he lived as an effective hermit. Before he became an icon of the modern spiritual movement his days often consisted of little more than sitting on a park bench near the ocean, watching seagulls. For the best part of a decade he had no job and little money, typically eating only one meal a day. On the surface he would have appeared to have been nothing more than a meek and fragile-looking man of unexceptional appearance, doing nothing. No doubt most people would not have been able to tell the difference between him and a homeless person with a drug or alcohol problem.
But there was a difference. The distinction was that Tolle existed in a state of perfect presence for over fifteen years. Yes, nothing much happened during that decade and a half. At least not on the surface.
Then one day in his mid-forties as he was sitting under an oak tree in Somerset, England, a slight sense of “divine discontent” came upon him. It was the subtle sense that there was more that could be done with his understanding; some action which might somehow be of benefit to others. There was a sense that he could be of greater service to this world.
This was not the self-flagellating fear that hits many people of middle age; the terror that their life is passing them by and that they have done nothing worthwhile, or indeed become nothing worthwhile. This was a quiet inner knowing that something was required to be fulfilled.
Since he did not know precisely what this imminent calling was, or what was required to be done, Tolle simply asked the universe for “an acceleration”. Then he went home.
Notably, nothing happened. Not for days, nor even for several months. Then one morning he awoke and knew that he had to leave England to go and live in the United States. He then took action based upon that inner knowing, and soon found himself in the USA. It took another year or two, but eventually he ended up making an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. The rest is history, as they say.
Eckhart Tolle never asked to become successful and famous. Note that he did not push and shove his way to the top. Nor was there a deep existential longing to become something else, or be somebody else. He simply surrendered to a greater sense of calling.
There was an attitude of great patience, and of great trust. There was no sense of separation from life or the universe, no belief that the world owed him anything. In fact there was little sense of self at all, for in presence the mind and its sense of self tends to dissipate.
Such an attitude is the bedrock of Gentle Aligned Action.
Significantly, Tolle says that fame and success are not in themselves of lasting value to the spirit. They cannot fulfill you. Fulfillment must come in embracing life, which is only ever found in the present moment.
Like me, Tolle does not believe that we can control the world with our thoughts. And like me he does believe that the universe tends to reflect back to us our inner states.
True abundance cannot be found from beyond us, from the world of form. It is found only in embracing the now. When we are fully present desire vanishes, and there then arises a spontaneous expression of gratitude and love. This is actually the true state of the human being (as opposed to the “human doing” or the “human becoming”). I have found that in such a state of perfect presence there are but four words that tend to repeat themselves over and over.
Thank you. I love you.
Now, that is what I call true prosperity. It is true abundance. | <urn:uuid:1c80f5c8-70ef-44d4-9951-871724481f17> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://mind-futures.com/eckhart-tolles-gentle-but-powerful-action/ | 2021-10-21T04:21:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585381.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20211021040342-20211021070342-00232.warc.gz | en | 0.981093 | 1,028 | [

Getting a publisher is every author’s dream. But beware of book contract nightmares.
Never sign a book contract with a publisher without doing your homework first.
There are so many small publishers nowadays offering publishing agreements, and while some are good, there are many that are not so good, or worse.
Even among some well-known small publishers, problems have arisen with overdue payment or no payment of royalties to authors.
In recent times, Ellora’s Cave has experienced financial difficulty, and it seems as if it is now taking legal action against the RWA, who asked Ellora’s Cave to pay overdue royalties.

Another excellently educating and humorous blog post by Kristen Lamb. You’re the best Kristen!
Being a writer is the best job in the world, aside from those fortunate enough to be paid to pet kittens or sample new ice cream flavors. But is writing a REAL job? This question has set fire to the entire psychiatric community. Okay, most of them…the ones in my head *turns off fire alarms*.
Many in our modern culture don’t believe writing qualifies as a legitimate occupation. An unusual percentage of ‘average’ citizens firmly maintain that being a writer is NOT a real job. These same individuals, however, collectively spend billions of dollars and most of their free time enjoying entertainment (created by writers).
Cleaning Teeth= ‘Real’ Job
Writing= Goofing Off
Thus far, those interviewed have yet to note the irony of their assertions (or looked up definition of irony). Since being a writer is not a ‘real job,’ then this leads us to the next most reasonable conclusion. Writing, in truth, may be a mental condition. I have written about the 13 Ways Writers Are Mistaken for Serial Killers.
So there IS that…

It is devoted to helping students identify a research topic, the main components of a research paper and effective strategies for writing. Use our help efficiently to make sure that academic success is waiting for in the near future.
Choose Good Business Research Topics to Write on
Like many academic papers, the aim of a research paper is to perform a detailed examination of a specific research question/issue. Business studies research papers cover a broad range of subjects, such as Accounting, Business Administration, Law or Ethics, and many other fields in which many interesting topics are found.
A topic, which an instructor thinks fit, may be assigned to a student, but most often instructors enable students to select a topic of interest. According to the education research by the United Nations, the flexibility in learning leads to deeper student motivation and engagement. As a result, it plays a central role in making education in the 21st century successful.
However, the task to choose a good topic on Business Studies alone can be a challenge for many students. One of those who struggle with selecting a topic on your own? Don’t worry! If a good idea for business topics doesn’t go to you, you must go to it, for example, on our website. We can offer you the opportunity to find the perfect topic for a research paper on Business Studies.
In fact, you should choose a research topic with a great amount of detail, plus a topic you will feel comfortable writing on. Only in these cases, it is easier to complete a research paper. We’re ready to provide you with the list of business research topics with concrete details you can include in your research paper. Besides, the suggested topics are from various business disciplines you can study within Business Studies.

Know the Structure of a Business Research Paper
Every academic paper has a structure. Most instructors give the assignment requirements on how a research paper should be structured. For that reason, you should examine the paper instructions carefully to follow during the writing process. In general, your research paper on Business Studies should have an introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusion sections.
At this point the business studies research paper tip sounds like: review each section in detail what data you need to include.
- Introduction. Provide the background for the research paper on a particular topic. Every detail that is needed to understand a topic should be included. For example, there are many key terms in E-Commerce that you need to explain in your research paper if it is your area of interest. Don’t leave your readers in the dark. If you deal with the topic ‘The Advertising Revolution’, give some historical information on it. Besides, you should work on your thesis statement as a transition to the body paragraphs.
- Literature review. Sometimes, the information in a particular subject area should be presented within a certain time period. As Business Studies is a relatively ‘young’ discipline, this time period is limited by the late 20th and the 21st centuries. But there are about 13,000 business schools in the world that contribute to some extensive research in this field. So, you have enough texts to mention in your literature review. However, you need to take a step-by-step approach towards writing a literature review on Business Studies.
- Methodology. Explain how you conduct research on Business Studies to investigate an issue, to find out something new in the area under discussion. All inventions are meant to be possible for an update in the future provided that you are able to explain all the approaches and methods used in the research paper properly. Even if you don’t intend to come up with some innovations, you need to summarize some findings after researching a particular topic. Try to use the most effective business research methods.
- Results. You write a research paper on Business Studies with different aims – to analyze, compare or contrast, explain, etc. Depending on the objectives of the study, there are some results of your study. For example, in organizational strategic analysis, you need to come up with the results concerning the current position of business matters.
- Discussion. After you have the research results, you’re ready to discuss them in a separate section. The most important point in this part is to explain what you found in relation to the thesis statement (the main idea of your research paper). There should be a compelling logic of your interpretations.
- Conclusion. It is a part where you relate your findings to other potential research and to the world at large. You should summarize briefly the main points of your research paper, then give some recommendations for further researches.
Our Writers Advise: Have an Outline Created Before Writing a Research Paper
Having an outline is the best way of dealing with largely written assignments, to which a research paper is included as well. The flow of thoughts can be endless that makes the writing process challenging for most. Keep it simple when an outline is in front of you. All your data collected from information sources can be properly organized. The research paper structure is previously mentioned. So, there shouldn’t be any difficulties in creating a good outline for a business research paper. You don’t need to work on the entire paper at the same time. With your paper outline, you can choose where you begin and end.
The most effective order of sections writing is as follows:
Know Where to Look for Information
Due to a variety of information sources, it is easy to get confused with the information gathered. Some data is reliable, some needs proof such as an authors’ qualification in the field, the evidence and its applicability, up-to-dateness and so on. The University Libraries has the info about the reliability of sources available today. Keep in mind that using Wikipedia is still unproven idea to provide well-reasoned arguments or discussion, etc. based on the strong pieces of evidence.
Some sources that can be useful for your research paper on Business Studies include the following:
Know How to Revise a Research Paper
Without the final touches on your writing, you can lose some marks as the slightest mistakes spoil the overall impression of your academic work. What errors occurring to a research paper can disappoint your instructor?
If you want to have a well-written business research paper, it is better to consider its quality before submitting it to your instructor. Answer the question objectively, ‘Is my business studies research paper worth of an A+ grade?’ If you doubt, pass through a checklist while revising your paper.
You should determine:
- Have I done everything according to the requirements? Usually, it happens that too little attention is drawn to the assignment requirements. As a result, not high marks are given. You have probably the last minute to review your instructions to make sure that you stick to them properly.
- Does my business research paper have an appropriate structure? In this case, we can keep calm because if you read this guide attentively, you have all the essentials of a proper structure for a business research paper. Now, it is your turn to make sure whether you manage to follow it while writing.
- Is it easy to read my business research paper? If no, avoid vague words and sentence structures that may make your readers confused. A word-level clarity plays a crucial role in perception of the whole paper. So, wordiness and clichés aren’t your ‘best friends’! A matter of word choice can occur the cases when you misuse a word. Among commonly confused words, you’ll find ‘accept’/‘except’ or ‘effect’/‘affect’. You can watch the video to avoid the common spelling mistakes and word misuse.
- Have I made clear transitions between paragraphs? Without the logical sequence of paragraphs, you can lose the readers’ attention. What makes the sequence of paragraph logical? Logical transition words, like ‘On the one hand’ and ‘On the other hand’, ‘Additionally’, ‘However’, etc. Make sure you have them in your text.
- Have I used an appropriate academic tone in my writing? The usage of the 3rd person enables you to show that your writing is quite objective to be considered as an academic writing. Moreover, consider the use of tenses. In most cases, you need to use present tenses. Avoid contractions in academic writing as well.
- Have I cited quotes, and ideas from sources appropriately? Keep an eye out for formatting your research paper, be it an APA or MLA. Once you see a style pattern, you can develop techniques for formatting the future academic text. In the meantime, keep the style tutorials or an experienced editor handy.
You see that business research paper writing is quite challenging – it MUST be a well-researched, detail-oriented, well-structured paper. This guide gives you 5 secrets of successful research paper writing. Indeed, there is one more secret that can be valuable for everyone who appreciates the time and own efforts. It is a service of our professional writing staff. Believe it or not, many students ask for help with research paper writing from our skilled writers.

Bolton manager Sam Allardyce says Ivan Campo could join Real Mallorca – but only if the Spanish club match their valuation of the defender.
Campo is out of contract at the end of the season, and his agent has admitted he is keen on a move to the La Liga side.
Allardyce said: “He won’t be leaving until the end of his deal unless they pay a lot of money for him.
“It might be a possibility for Ivan and he could sign a contract for Real Mallorca now
“If not he should be trying to get back in the team, now he is fully fit. He finishes his suspension which has affected him and us an awful lot.
“Hopefully he can take up the mantle after Watford when some players are away and show us his old abilities and capabilities.
“That may then encourage us to give him a new contract at the end of the season, which I would like to think would be the case.”
Campo’s agent Miguel Angel Cermeno told Spanish newspaper Marca: “Someone has called us to say that Mallorca are interested.
“Ivan would be delighted to go back to Palma and although he is highly valued at Bolton it would be very sad and a scandal if nothing happens.
“From here we are waiting to see if Bolton are ready to accept his departure.”

NL All-Stars down A
Senior eireuit streak
eontinues in LA, 4-2
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ken Grif-
fey's home run touched off a comeback
and the National League captured a 4-
2 All-Star victory Tuesday. night that
extended the American League losing
streak in this confrontation between the
two leagues to a record nine con-
Fourteen National League hatters
had gone down in order against
American League starter Steve Stone
of the Baltimore Orioles and reliever
Tommy John of the New York Yankees
before Griffey struck. The Americans
had seized the lead on a two-run homer
by Boston's Fred Lynn and things were
moving smoothly for them.
Then, all at once, it came apart, sud-
denly and swiftly as it has so often in.-
this series for the Americans, who once
led the All-Star series 12-4 and now trail
With two out is the fifth, Griffey, the
Cincinnati outfielder who was em-
broiled in a contract dispute that left
him on the verge of a trade all spring,
woke up the National League dugout.
John had a one-strike count on the
Reds' All-Star when Griffey sent a shot
to the deepest part of packed Dedger
Stadium. The ball sailed over the center
field fence and suddenly the American
League lead was sliced in half. An in-
ning later, it was gone altogether.
Lynn put the American League on
the scoreboard in the fifth inning, snap-
ping the scoreless tie.
With two out, Carew reached base for
the third time, drilling a single to right
field. Welch strung out the count to 3-
and-2 on Lynn, and then the Boston cen-
ter fielder hitsa towering shot just inside
the right field foul pole.
It was Lynn's third All-Starhome run
and tied him for third-place on the all-
time list. Stan Musial hit six All-Star
homers and Ted Williams had four.
Others with three were Rocky Colavito,
Harmon Killebrew, Johnny Bench,
Ralph Kiner and Willie Maya.
Fourteen NL batters were retired in
order before Ken Griffey ended the
string with a two-out homer in the fifth
against Tommy John of the New York
Yankees. Griffey's shot, his first All-
Star homer, went to straightaway cen-
ter field. .
Then in the sixth, the NL seized the
lead, knocking out John. Consecutive
singles by Ray Knight, Phil Garner and
George Bendrick made it 2-2. Ed Far-
mer of the Chicago White Sax relieved
and when Randolph mishandled Dave
Winfield's grounder, Gamner scored,
putting the Nationals ahead3-2.
An infield single by pioch-hitter Keith
Hernandez loaded the bates, but then
Pete Rose, another pinch hitter, groun-
ded into an inning-ending double play.
ROD CAREW of the California Angels successfully steals second base despite
the efforts of Bill Russell, shortstop of the Dodgers, and the National League.
Carew advanced as far as third after the stea:l, but was eventually stranded.
NATIONAL LEAGUE catcher Johnny Bench completes the strike out of American whiff ended the AL's top half of the first inning with Red Carew stranded on

CloudRand: Building Heterogeneous and Moving-target Network Interfaces
- Additional Document Info
- View All
© 2018 IEEE. Some fundamental reasons why our networked systems are still vulnerable to network attacks are because (1) they are more open than necessary; (2) they are homogeneous, i.e., the same way to exploit a vulnerability on one machine is easily applicable to many other machines (which is particularly a severe issue in cloud computing environments when virtual machines images are heavily reused/cloned); (3) current networked services are merely static targets, i.e., they are easily predictable and do not change. While network authentication and access control mechanisms such as firewall and VPN can help reduce the openness (mostly at network perimeter level), they do not help much on the latter two factors. To bridge the gap and greatly complement existing network authentication/access control mechanisms, we propose CloudRand, a new framework to make networked systems/services in the cloud heterogeneous (every host has a different networking interface) and moving targets (such interfaces keep changing and they are unpredictable to untrusted entities). Inspired by the previous work on host-level (memory or instruction) Address Space Randomization (ASR), we build a lightweight solution to randomize network service interfaces. Thus, even derived from the same image, each virtual machine can have very different network service interfaces and they keep changing to further reduce the attack surface. CloudRand is an application-independent security service, orthogonal to existing application/network security mechanisms such as authentication, encryption, and access control. To fit into different environments such as clouds or enterprise networks, we provide various prototype systems at different levels for flexible deployment choices, e.g., host level (kernel drivers for both Linux and Windows), network level (based on Click modular router or software-defined networking technology), virtual machine hypervisor level (based on Xen), and application level (browser plugin). Our extensive evaluation shows that this solution has low overhead, and it can it can significantly reduce the network attack surface and successfully defeat malware epidemic attacks.

Have a question about adopting your foster child? We can help! Talk to us now using our online live chat.
Adopting your foster child
Being adopted by their foster parents means stability and less disruption in the child's life and relationships. The message children hear when they're adopted is "I'm wanted, loved, and know where I belong."
If you're thinking about adopting your foster child, post-adoption assistance may provide funding for services and maintenance. While financial assistance continues, decision making and legal responsibility for the child shifts to you, the new adoptive parent.
What to expect when adopting
At first glance, adoption can seem overwhelming. We've broken down the steps for each type of adoption.
What does that mean?
From acronyms to Ministry terminoloy, our glossary helps you navigate adoption language. | <urn:uuid:e3ff98c6-5537-4622-8ebd-cf0ce64ca441> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | http://www.bcadoption.com/adopting-your-foster-child | 2021-10-17T01:24:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585045.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016231019-20211017021019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.917532 | 172 | [

Alright, so I think I have finally solved the mystery of what caused John McCain’s cancer issues.
In last night’s debate, McCain told the crowd that nuclear energy is completely safe, using the example that he had been aboard a ship- for years- that had nuclear-energy-type-stuff on it.
Maybe there’s a connection.
McCain again made a complete ass out of himself at the debate last night.
The man could not bring himself to be even the slightest bit gracious to Barack Obama.
Further, how ignorant does one have to be to actually think it’s appropriate to address a fellow senator- during a presidential debate- as “that one”?
I don’t know what the Republican ticket is hoping to accomplish… other than jackass-ery at its finest… between the “Say it ain’t so, Joe” coming from Palin’s mouth, and then McCain’s “that one” comment from last night… peppered with all the “darn it”‘s and such… and finalized with exclamations such as “treason!”, “kill him!” and “off with his head!” at the latest Republican rallies- they were talking about Obama, of course…
… This has turned into an all out celebration by the bigoted small-minded folks across America.
McCain and Palin have now sunk so low that they are unable to tell their own supporters that calling for Senator Obama’s death is not appropriate?
Desperation is a powerful force…
These two are behaving like children who didn’t get their way in the grocery store.
“But Mo-o-om… we wanted the Fruity Pebbles! Don’t make us eat Oat Bran aga-a-i-i-n!”
Since neither McCain nor Palin can come anywhere near touching Obama and Biden on the actual issues… they’ll instead resort to Joe-Six-Pack-Speak, name calling and condoning death threats against the opponent.
Oh well- Senator McCain can call Senator Obama anything he wants to for now…
… Before long, however, Barack Obama will be nothing short of “Mr. President”. | <urn:uuid:8aa098b1-a653-4772-a6a5-f0d948af1dc0> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://chaze77.com/2008/10/08/fruity-pebbles-the-debate-and-throwing-tantrums/?shared=email&msg=fail | 2021-10-17T00:50:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585045.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016231019-20211017021019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.957906 | 491 | [

He was speaking at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's hearing in Johannesburg into the role of the media during apartheid.
Du Preez likened Neethling to Nazi geneticist Dr Josef Mengele because he experimented with poison to be used by the security branch to kill anti-apartheid activists.
Du Preez said it would be hard for mainstream newspapers to regain their credibility after failing to report on apartheid-era atrocities.
Vrye Weekblad was closed down in February 1994 after Neethling on appeal won a defamation case against the newspaper.
Neethling sued Vrye Weekblad for R1 million after it published former Vlakplaas commander Dirk Coetzee's statement that Neethling had provided him and others with poison to drug or kill African National Congress activists.
Vlakplaas was a security police base outside Pretoria.
In the Rand Supreme Court Judge Johan Kriegler accepted Coetzee's version and found Neethling an unreliable witness, and dismissed the case. "But the idea that a respected citizen and member of the 'Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns' could be a killer and a liar was simply too much for the judges of the Appeal Court.
"Vrye Weekblad was ordered to pay Neethling's costs and R90000 for the defamation," Du Preez said.
The case dragged on for five years and legal costs for both sides came to to more than R2 million. "The decision by the Appeal Court was one of the blackest moments in our judicial history."
Du Preez said there was absolute proof from several sources that Neethling lied to the court. The then Pretoria Attorney-General had a sworn affidavit by Vlakplaas policeman Steve Bosch in which he told how he fetched poisoned bottles of beer from Neethling.
He also had other affidavits gathered during investigation into Wouter Basson and the chemical and biological warfare project whiched proved Neethling had perjured himself.
"Vrye Weekblad was closed because of Lothar Neethling's perjury."
In one of the affadavits, which Du Preez gave to the TRC, former state prosecutor Johan van den Heever said Neethling told him about various poisons during a tour of his forensics laboratory.
During the visit, Neethling spoke of some of his achievements: "It was in this context that he mentioned to me that the laboratory had developed a poison which would precipitate a heart attack.
"He furthermore mentioned that the poison would not be traced at a post mortem examination," the affidavit said.
Neethling had testified under oath before Kriegler that nothing like this ever happened in his laboratory, Du Preez said.
"He should be charged with multiple murder, perjury and fraud - fraud for getting our money for his lies and closing down a newspaper that could have played a very constructive role in the transformation of our society today."
Vrye Weekblad was founded in November 1988 by a group of frustrated Afrikaans journalists, but was forced to close down in Februrary 1994 after losing the defamation case.
Du Preez said it was a risky occupation and Vrye Weekblad's troubles began with their first edition.
The then minister of Justice, Kobie Coetzee, told Du Preez he saw the publication as a potential threat to the state. Knowing the group of journalists did not have much funding, he increased the registration fee from R10 to R40000.
This was part of the reason Vrye Weekblad was taken to court after releasing its first few editions without registration.
Du Preez said the government developed a strategy of harassing alternative newspapers and bleeding them dry through the judicial system.
On November 17, 1989, the Vrye Weekblad published Coetzee's confessions about notorious death squad's actvities. While the story made front page news around the world, Du Preez said South African newspapers gave preference to police general Herman Stadler's denials of Vlaakplaas' existence.
He said police spy and former Star crime reporter Craig Kotze, who testified on Tuesday, led the discrediting campaign against Coetzee after his confessions about death squad activities were published.
The SA Broadcasting Corporation also led the discrediting campaign against Coetzee. "Yet as far back as 1987, the SABC knew about Vlakplaas when they interviewed some askari's with balaclavas on at Vlakplaas. One of the interviewees was Glory Sedibe, a senior askari."
An askari is an ANC freedom fighter turned police informant. | <urn:uuid:02588937-9e82-40f0-87cd-f722a7b9630c> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.justice.gov.za/trc/media/1997/9709/s970917g.htm | 2021-10-17T01:09:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585045.2/warc/CC-MAIN-20211016231019-20211017021019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.978366 | 999 | [

Helping a loved one or a student through Chronic Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (or PTSD) can be a very difficult task.
Yoga can be a gentle way to help a person suffering from PTSD decrease the symptoms and compliment the healing process in conjunction with appropriately prescribed therapy and/or medication.
What Is PTSD?
PTSD affects men and women who have experienced mental, emotional, and sexually traumatic events.
Often the trauma existed for a prolonged period of time, as in the case of war or growing up in an abusive household. The person suffering has learned to adapt to the environment by disassociating from these events as they occurred as a way to protect themselves.
Anytime we confront a stressful situation, the mind and body need time and a safe place to retreat in order to process these events and heal. However, in most instances of PTSD, neither the time nor the space existed, and a constant exposure to life threatening circumstances continued.
In short, the trauma appeared to never end and in order to cope, the person has learned to accept that no other alternative exists.
How to Combat PTSD with Yoga
If taught and practiced with care, yoga will help those diagnosed with PTSD sleep better, uplift one's mood in the face of depression, decrease the frequency of negative or dangerous responses to triggers, flashbacks/nightmares, and panic attacks.
In the ideal situation, the student can begin feel safe and (re)learn how to create trusting relationships and environments. The main challenge is understanding what those triggers are and either avoiding them completely, or under the strict guidance of a behavioral therapist, reintroduce them slowly with the intent to try to redefine or reframe the meaning of specific situations.
If you are teaching a group class with students having a wide range of PTSD experiences, the safest approach would be to create as neutral of an environment as possible. But that is not an easy task. We all have meanings for symbols, numbers, colors, and even scents. Taking the time to learn the specifics of your student's story can help you tremendously when creating a space most conducive to healing.
Rebuilding Relationships with Fear, Anger, and Aggression
Yoga can also help to decrease the instinct to live in a hyper-aware state or to always feel the need to plan an escape route. Minimizing stimulation (visual and audio especially) encourages students to understand their internal limits without external distraction.
It is imperative that students know it's perfectly fine to not attempt a pose at all if it creates feelings of unease or discomfort, and as a teacher, please refrain from physical adjustment. Even the loving touch from an empathic instructor can feel threatening. Over time you may develop a rapport when physical adjustments are welcome, and even healing, but keep in mind that what may work great one moment may cause a memory or trigger the next.
The instructor must stay present to the ever-changing needs of the student and not become defensive. Part of the healing process involves cycling through difficult emotions and reactions until the perceived threat loses its intensity and the onset of fear and/or anger will not instigate an aggressive reaction.
Learning to discern between healthy fears and irrational fears can deeply challenge someone with PTSD.
Often, PTSD has been deemed incurable, and simply hearing that fatal diagnosis can greatly hinder a student's progress. Stay positive, and remember just as in yoga, there is no timeline for the practice we must just keep on showing up to reap the benefits.
Mindfulness in Body, Mind, and Heart
There is no set sequence of poses that work for PTSD across the board. A vigorous practice can help with depression, a slower practice can calm and soothe anxiety symptoms, and at times a silent meditation might be more effective than using flowery spiritual language and vice versa.
Find what works for your student and then be willing to modify if you sense it has lost its effectiveness or has somehow become counterproductive. Staying connected to your student's therapist is also a good idea to help monitor behavior changes. While the therapist cannot share details of the specifics of your student's case, they can offer helpful suggestions to ensure your teaching and your student's well-being are in harmony.
The greatest gift yoga can offer someone battling with PTSD is to reconnect with existing calmly and peacefully in the present moment without constantly fearing for one's own safety.

And more great news! It's not just green tea and cholesterol; it's also green tea and high blood pressure. Constantly consuming 5 to 10 cups a day of green tea decreases high blood pressure. For more that 4,000 years the Chinese have actually understood about the medical advantages of green tea given that using it to deal with everything from headaches to depression. So it's not just green tea and cholesterol; it's also green tea and depression! Drinking green also is reported to be handy with rheumatoid arthritis, Cardiovascular illness, infection, and impaired immune function. Green tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is an excellent anti-cancer aspect. Polyphenol restricts the negative results of smoking and a fatty diet. It's not simply green tea and cholesterol; it's likewise green tea and weight loss. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition released a report that learnt that males who were provided a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned more calories than those provided only caffeine. How about green tea and tooth decay anyone? Its bacteria-destroying abilities eliminate the germs that cause oral decay. So it's not just green tea and cholesterol, it's likewise green tea and bacteria. Why is it that it's green tea and cholesterol not oolong tea or black tea? Green tea leaves are steamed, which avoids the EGCG compound from being oxidized while oolong and black tea leaves are made from dried or fermented leaves, which causes loss of EGCG. We need to have learned speaking mandarin or fukien a very long time ago and learnt more about green tea and cholesterol lowering the Chinese way. There is more to green tea and cholesterol, search the web and get to know more of the heath benefits you may get from green tea. Does anyone understand how to state green tea in Chinese? More great news is it's not simply green tea and cholesterol; it's likewise green tea and cancer. It's not simply green tea and cholesterol; it's also green tea and high blood pressure. It's not just green tea and cholesterol; it's likewise green tea and weight loss. It's not just green tea and cholesterol, it's also green tea and germs.

Anyone who had read some of the articles on this site will recognize that one of my passions in Children’s Ministry is finding ways to get children excited about the Bible. I want them to read it. I want them to absorb it. I want them see how it applies to their lives. I want the Bible to some alive for them. I want them to hunger for more. I am constantly striving to find new and better ways to achieve that goal.
In last month’s Children’s Ministry Blog Patrol (January 2010) I featured a couple of blog posts from Amy Dolan (Shaped by Story) and Henry Zonio (Stepping Into the Story) about an article written by Amy Dolan called “Shaped By Story” and published in the January/February issue of Children’s Ministry Magazine. In the article Amy Dolan looks at a “new” method of conveying Bible stories developed by Michael Novelli and discussed in his book Shaped by the Story: Helping Students Encounter God in a New Way. I have not yet read Mr. Novelli’s book, but after reading Ms. Dolan’s article I will certainly add it to my reading list.
I was drawn in by the very first paragraph of Ms. Dolan’s article:
“Imagine your elementary kids completely enthralled as you retell the disciples’ experiences at the Last Supper. Kids’ imaginations fully engaged, they picture what happened, then eagerly discuss their questions and thoughts about this incredible moment and how it makes them feel.”
That is exactly what I want in Children’s Ministry. I want enthralled kids who are fully engaged and anxious to discuss their take on the story at hand. Mr. Novelli’s method is actually quite simple, but by all accounts very effective. He terms the method “Bible storying” which he says is:
“rooted in the ancient Hebrew approach to Scriptures, with a belief that we must allow the voice of the biblical narrative to speak.”
The method includes five key elements to get kids involved:
- RELATIONSHIPS – Relationships between children and leaders, and between each other, are critical to storytelling. In order to help kids be shaped by story, we must allow time for these relationships.
- PREPARATION – In order for kids to hear what God is speaking to them through his word, they must be given time to prepare for the story. This is as simple as setting up the story for the kids before presenting the lesson to start them thinking and get them ready to hear the story.
- TELLING – This is the actual retelling of the story in a dynamic and exciting manner.
- REWIND – In this step, kids are asked to retell the story in their own words or their own ways. This can be as straightforward or creative as you desire.
- DIALOG – In this portion of the lesson, open-ended questions are used to get kids talking about the story.
The goal of these steps is simple. Kids become more engaged in the story rather than being merely recipients of the story. As a result, the stories have a transformational effect on the kids lives and they become less intimidated by the Bible.
Ms. Dolan, through the example of Rolling Hills Community Church in Oregon shows how Novelli’s methods can easily be adapted to existing ministry structures.
The original article from Children’s Ministry Magazine is available on Mr. Zonio’s site (reprinted with permission from the magazine) can be found here: http://www.elementalcm.com/wp-content/uploads/cm0110_shapedbystory1.pdf.
Ms. Dolan’s article is one of the better articles I have recently on conveying Biblical stories. It is certainly worth reading. I fully intend to purchase Mr. Novelli’s book, and I appreciate Ms. Dolan bringing this great resource to my attention.

John Kerry, speaking at Pasadena City College at a rally for the losing Democratic contender for Governor, said the following:
“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
Keep in mind this idiot came very close to being our Commander-in-Chief.
Have you heard this reported in the LA Times, or in any of the old media?

New developments in medical science can keep us alive longer and longer. However, should we want to live longer? Perhaps it is necessary to draw a line somewhere in the (near?) future. A fixed maximum lifespan. Imagine we, as a society, determined the moment of death for everyone at 250 years old (for example). That could be accomplished, for instance, by a genetic modification of our genes. This may seem like an absurd idea now, but there are several good reasons for thinking this through. Why do we (at least most of us) have to die at a time that we do not know beforehand.
How would it be, if we all knew in advance exactly when we would die? I will give some examples. To start with something very practical, you could plan the money needed during your retirement very precisely. You would not have to save extra money for possible years after your death. That is the financial aspect, but imagine now, you know that you will live exactly until your 250th birthday.
Then you do not only know until what day you may need money to live by, but you also know how much time you have left to do the things you always wanted to do. So, you can now plan in advance what you want to have accomplished at 50, at 100, 150 and finally at 250 years old. Then, on your deathbed, the chance that you have done what you wanted to do, will be a lot bigger.
Speaking of deathbeds, you can also organize this in advance. Who do you want to have around, how do you want to organize it, with which music, where, etc.? I guess, it will also be a lot nicer for your loved ones when they know well in advance when you will pass away. No more unexpected shocks, but a clear moment which they can live towards.
As a society we can then choose this moment in such a way that people do not have to end up in a situation of ever more physical and psychological deterioration, as most of us do in the present situation. An elderly person, is kept alive in ever more degrading circumstances. This directly influences the cost of rising health care, as the average life-expectancy continues to shift up and not surprisingly, the final years turn out to be the most expensive years.
Again, now all of this may seem like an absurd idea, but what if there were a lot of benefits coming with it? For example, the guarantee that you would live all your life in very good health until the moment of your death. That you would no longer have to be afraid of a sudden heart attack, or being handicapped for the rest of your days or even a sudden death?
Even then we would have to get used to this idea. But I guess that may well go in small steps if it turns out that these steps have positive effects. For example, by legalizing the voluntary termination of life from a fixed age. A chosen end, at home or somewhere in a beautiful house, or in the middle of nature, where friends and family can gather together for the last time with the soon-to-be-deceased in a joyful way to be part of the approaching end.
Or perhaps the determination of an age limit above which only palliative medical interventions take place. Or, less far-reaching; a health insurance that reimburses everything until that fixed age, but from then on only reimburses a palliative package.
In that way we will gradually get used to the positive consequences for the well-being of those involved and for the surviving relatives. Then we will learn that a controlled end moment is just as pleasurable as a controlled starting moment.

As I mentioned in my last post, our camping trip provided a lot of opportunities to for all of us to take risks. The biggest risk we asked the girls to take was whitewater rafting, the idea of which terrified them all, and they certainly let us know that. After wrangling them all into their swimsuits, water shoes, and safety gear, we managed to get them into the boats, and after a few safety instructions from our guides Parker and Gareth we were on our way. Much to their relief, our first rapid was not the large drop off created by the dam release, as they thought at first, but a nice, easy class II. As we got the hang of listening to Gareth and working together to navigate the rapids, the girls’ fear and trepidation began to turn to delight and excitement as we conquered each successive rapid. At one point, maybe three or four rapids in, one of the girls behind me emphatically declared that she was now ready to go back and do that first waterfall now. Seeing the fear and uncertainty wash away before my eyes filled me with an inexpressible joy that I think was just a little glimpse of the joy the Father must feel when he sees us trust him to lead us into rough, uncharted waters and we discover how exhilarating a life of faith can be.
As I thought and prayed about it, God revealed more about how our rafting experience reflects life in the Kingdom of God, and as cheesy as it may be, this metaphor proved a useful instructional tool to process through with the girls. From the outset it was important that we were all aware that rafting is an inherently risky activity, filled with a good deal of uncertainty. When one decides to follow the teachings of Jesus as reflected in Christian scriptures, it’s a leap into uncharted waters. Really the only way we were able to convince the girls to take the plunge was by assuring them of the many ways their ultimate protection was taken care of.
Before we even got on the water, each of us put on the required safety gear: a helmet, life jacket, water shoes, and paddle. Similarly, in Ephesians 6:10-18, Paul describes the way that a Christian should clothe him or herself with the “whole armor of God,” including the “breastplate of righteousness,” shoes with the “readiness to given by the gospel of peace,” the “helmet of salvation,” and the “sword of the Spirit” (in this case we’ll say “paddle” of the Spirit). Along with the gear we received a detailed presentation on safety procedure and what to do in pretty much any situation imaginable. We were surely still nervous as we boarded the bus that took us to the river, but we did take comfort in the protection of the gear and the knowledge we’d just acquired.
Even with all of this gear, it still wouldn’t be the most pleasant experience to be dropped in and sent down the river, trying to battle rocks and trees as the current sweeps you along. Thankfully, we were able to tackle the rapids from the relative comfort of a raft, with the added support of other people to paddle with you. In our Kingdom metaphor, the boat and the crew are the Church and the body of Christ, put in place so that no one will have to navigate life in isolation. Within the boat we had pace-setters sitting up front to keep us in rhythm. It was important that these members were in sync, as everyone else looked to them and followed their lead. These pace setters, in the context of the Church, would be older, more mature and experienced believers who are a resource for mentoring and discipleship of younger believers. One of Rebirth’s goals as an organization is to provide “pace setters” to speak into the lives of the kids in the ministry, to make sure they have people to support and encourage them in pursuit of a Christ-centered life.
And then, of course, we come to the most important part: the guide. No amount of safety gear, or instructions, or fancy rafts, or other rafters, could have kept us safe if it weren’t for our guides. They knew the river forwards and backwards, all the places to avoid and all the ways to get down it safely. They were clear and direct with their instructions, and although they would’ve been able to navigate the river alone, they still involved us in the process. Despite our best intentions, there were many times where we were unable (or unwilling) to follow directions perfectly; most often when going through a big rapid, your first instinct is to stop paddling and hold on for dear life. Even still, our guide never got mad or wavered in his determination to get us through safely. They did not, however, only focus on protecting us; they also made sure that the process was enjoyable, and even gave us opportunities to challenge ourselves by taking optional rapids just for fun. If our two rafting guides, who had only known us for a period of minutes, hopped in a raft and promised to get us to the end of the river safely while helping us enjoy it as much as possible, how much more does the heavenly Father who created and knows us each intimately, want to protect us and see us take delight in the world he created?
More than any other part of this metaphor, Rebirth staff member Lori and I wanted to make sure each girl understood the truth behind this somewhat silly comparison: we believe in and serve a God who guides us through each rapid we encounter in life. Particularly for these girls, who have seen more rapids in their twelve to eighteen years than many people will in a lifetime, we need them to know that God not only guides us, but is also there in the boat, fighting for us, even when we drop the paddle, close our eyes, and hold on tight. And along with protecting us, God wants us to enjoy his creation, to take delight in the excitement of life’s joy and beauty.
As mentors and leaders, there’s no shortage of wisdom and experience the staff of Rebirth wants to impart on the kids in the ministry, and I see them work tirelessly at this goal every day. In my capacity as an intern, my main roles were to serve and observe, but more than anything I think I was there to learn. From Mo, I learned so much about calling and commitment, theology and scripture, and the hard truths about life in urban ministry. From Lori, I saw generosity and selflessness poured out in everything she did, and learned what it takes to love sacrificially. And from the kids, I learned more than I ever thought: how to find joy in the moments big and small; how to laugh like I really mean it; how to do some dance moves that maybe, just maybe, will make me a little cooler; and what the word resilience really means. As I enter my fourth year at UVA and look to what’s next, I feel like the girls did when they first saw that waterfall: terrified and completely unsure of what to do next. Whenever the drop-off gets too overwhelming, I will cling to the twelve-year-old wisdom that assures me that as scary as it looks, the waterfall is really just another exciting adventure up ahead. | <urn:uuid:e9feac71-9551-40f7-b662-4a6629a93aaf> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.livedtheology.org/2016/08/ | 2021-10-25T20:24:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587767.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025185311-20211025215311-00032.warc.gz | en | 0.981157 | 1,527 | [

Many of us are obsessed by sleep – mainly because we think we are not getting enough! But there is a way of approaching sleep that may just cause a revolution in the way we think about it, and the way we experience it.
When we are young, we love to sleep – in fact, we spend most of our time doing it! As we grow older, our need for sleep can diminish, but so can our ability to sleep, whenever and wherever we choose to. Some of this is the normal process of ageing and maturation, but some of it is not.
We may struggle with sleep in various ways: we may have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up in the morning… it can all start to feel very difficult. Sometimes we can get to the point where we are so exhausted that we don’t have the energy to go to sleep, as – ‘newsflash!’ – we need energy to get to sleep. In this exhausted state – because we cannot just stop and nap any time we feel like it, as we did when we were babies – we turn to food and drink to keep us going: coffee and carbs in the mornings and through the day, alcohol in the evenings, and sleeping pills at night – and all of this just fuels the cycle of poor and restless sleep.
We can even get to the point where, even though we may desire sleep above all else, we find our trouble with sleeping so stressful that we start to avoid sleep, and turn to any of the many distractions available to put off the inevitable. We use food, drink, alcohol, coffee, books, TV, movies, social media – anything to stay awake until we are so exhausted that we can keep our eyes open no longer. We nod off in front of the TV and wake up at some ungodly hour, when we drag ourselves to bed, and if we are ‘lucky’, go back to sleep again.
We think of life as something we live in a straight line . . . night . . . follows day . . . follows night . . . follows day . . . on and on we go, forever leaving the last day behind us . . . never to return.
But what if life is a cycle? What if we are going around and around the sun (as we are) and returning to the same spot over and over again . . . never leaving anything behind, but carrying it all with us, as we continue to go around?
Would that revolutionise the way we look at life?
And would that revolutionise the way we look at sleep?
If the way we live each day influences how we sleep at night, which then influences how we are the next day, then that would make sleep . . . everything!
We can do without food for longer than we can go without sleep. Forcing ourselves to go without sleep can feel like torture (just ask any young mother or junior doctor!), and in fact sleep deprivation has been used as such.
What happens if we don’t get enough sleep?
Studies have shown that driving while tired is as dangerous as driving while drunk. [i] Being tired affects our alertness, concentration, attention span, reaction times, judgement, awareness of the environment and our decision-making skills. It can also result in a micro-sleep, where we fall asleep for a few seconds or even minutes without being aware of it.
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the USA conservatively estimates that 100,000 police-reported crashes are the direct result of driver fatigue each year. This results in an estimated 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and $12.5 billion in monetary losses. These figures may be the tip of the iceberg, since currently it is difficult to attribute crashes to sleepiness.[i]
- According to data from Australia, England, Finland, and other European nations, all of whom have more consistent crash reporting procedures than the USA, drowsy driving represents 10 to 30 percent of all crashes.[i]
- A study by researchers in Australia showed that being awake for 18 hours produced an impairment equal to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05, and 0.10 after 24 hours.[i]
Increasingly, in our culture, where we try to fit more than a day’s work into 24 hours, sleep is the first thing we sacrifice, for we do not truly understand or value its importance. But lack of sleep affects us, both in the short term and the long term.
Lack of sleep impairs performance
The amount of sleep we need differs from person to person and from one stage of life to another – babies and teenagers need more, and as we get older we tend to need less. Let’s say that a person who needs eight hours of sleep per night only gets six. This two-hour sleep loss in one night can have a major impact including:
- Reduced alertness
- Shortened attention span
- Slower than normal reaction time
- Poorer judgement
- Reduced awareness of the environment and situation
- Reduced decision-making skills
- Poorer memory
- Reduced concentration
- Increased likelihood of mentally ‘stalling’ or fixating on one thought
- Increased likelihood of moodiness and bad temper
- Reduced work efficiency
- Loss of motivation
- Errors of omission – making a mistake by forgetting to do something
- Errors of commission – making a mistake by doing something, but choosing the wrong option
- Micro-sleep – brief periods of involuntary sleeping that range from a few seconds to a few minutes in duration.[ii]
We have all experienced the tiredness, bad mood or trouble concentrating that comes from a poor night’s sleep. If the lack of sleep goes on for longer than one night, the effects can build up in the body, and this can lead to chronic disease and ill-health, in particular inflammation, hypertension, diabetes and obesity[iii].
So, how much sleep is enough?
If sleep is so important, you may wonder, how much sleep is enough?
The commonly cited 8 hours a night is an average, and most people function well on 7-9 hours a night. But many people can function with 6 hours’ sleep, and there also are some who need 9 hours or more.[iv]
What is not spoken much about is the quality of sleep and the timing of sleep.
We tend to sleep soundly when we are young, and not so much as we age, and one of the things that changes is when we go to sleep.
The hours of sleep between 9pm and 1am are the most restful and restorative of the night, and if we miss this sleep boat, no amount of sleep will ever feel enough. And if we do routinely give ourselves these hours to rest, little more may be required.
What is the purpose of sleep?
Sleep is not just a necessity that we need to function in life. We can do without food for longer than we can do without sleep, and after air and water it is the thing our bodies need the most. But sleep is about much more than mere function, as is life.
In sleep we reflect on and resolve the problems of the day before, restore our bodies and beings, and refresh ourselves for the day to come. We dream and heal and deepen our understanding of and [connection] with ourselves and other people.
If we live in a way that honours the true purpose of sleep, it can become a sacred time each night that actually evolves us as people and as beings, back towards our souls, and the oneness we are all from.

THERE will be "no going back" and "no second chances" if Scotland votes for independence, the Prime Minister has warned.
David Cameron said there would be a "monumental battle" to keep the UK together.
Voters north of the border will decide the country's fate in the independence referendum, to be held on September 18.
Mr Cameron used his speech to the Scottish Conservative Party conference in Edinburgh to warn against a Yes vote in the poll.
He said: "Six months from now the day will dawn , the polling booths will open, the voters will come out and the people of Scotland will decide - stay or go.
"Stick with the UK or walk away.
"If the Scottish people vote Yes in September, then Scotland will become an independent country, there will be no going back, no second chances."
He added: "We face a monumental battle to keep our United Kingdom together."
The Prime Minister, who was introduced by Scottish party leader Ruth Davidson, said a No vote "can" lead to greater powers at Holyrood with Scotland still in the UK.
He said offering more responsibility is not a consolation prize for First Minister Alex Salmond.
"Let me be absolutely clear: a vote for 'no' is not a vote for 'no change'," he said.
"We are committed to making devolution work better still.
"Not because we want to give Alex Salmond a consolation prize if Scotland votes No, but because it's the right thing to do.
"Giving the Scottish Parliament greater responsibility for raising more of the money it spends - that's what Ruth believes, and I believe it too.
"So here's the re-cap: vote yes, that is total separation.
"Vote no, that can mean further devolution more power to the Scottish people and their Parliament, but with the crucial insurance policy that comes with being part of the UK." | <urn:uuid:f57c1c37-d820-41bf-9cdd-d32e645165d8> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politics/no-going-back-no-second-3242401 | 2021-10-27T06:40:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588102.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20211027053727-20211027083727-00112.warc.gz | en | 0.958214 | 397 | [

Now that you’ve decided to embark on a journey to recovery, are you slightly worried about what is rehab like?
Well, you’re not alone. Most people starting a drug treatment program wonder how rehab works and don’t know what to expect.
In rehab, a lot happens besides helping you quit your addiction. Rehab is a homely environment where you can interact with other residents, create good memories, and help each other towards a common goal. Most drug treatment facilities are a home-away-from-home!
Here is what to expect during your stay:
Arrival and Admission
On your arrival, you’ll meet an admissions specialist who will start by welcoming you and asking various questions. If you have gone through a detox center before coming to the drug treatment facility, the specialist will only test a few things to establish your health status. This could include body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate.
If you haven’t been to detox, the specialist will check you to determine what substances you’ve been using and for how long. This will help them establish the right course of action to take in getting all drugs out of your system before you begin the program. It’s necessary to give the correct information because withdrawal from certain substances can be dangerous; although in rare cases.
If you have any questions about the program, don’t be afraid to ask. Be honest with the staff and if you have any concerns raise them early. After admission, you’ll be shown around the facility as you’re introduced to staff and fellow patients.
How and Where Will You Be Sleeping?
Sleeping arrangements vary from one rehab to the other. Some have shared rooms; others have private rooms, and most have both options. Either way, most rehabs have very comfortable sleeping plans because adequate, sound sleep is an integral part of recovery.
Relationships are not allowed in rehab because you’re likely to lose focus on your main goal. There are sleeping schedules you need to follow, so don’t expect to get into bed whenever you want. In most cases, you’re required to be up early and sleep early.
What Meals Are Offered?
Most rehabs emphasize on keeping a healthy diet during your recovery. In some rehab centers, patients cook for themselves while in others, there is staff assigned that duty. Meals provided vary from one facility to the other, so be sure to check what your center offers.
Will You Keep in Touch with the Outside World?
Today, people are addicted to their phones, tablets, and many other communication gadgets. Most drug treatment facilities won’t allow you to come with these devices into their compound. Your focus needs to be on recovery, and these items are likely to lead you astray.
However, you’ll be allowed to maintain contact with your friends and family through the facility’s primary phone. Your family members are urged to play an active role in helping with your recovery, such as by participating in your therapy sessions.
How Does the Drug Treatment Work?
The most significant aspect of drug treatment involves therapies that have been proven to help recovering addicts attain sobriety. The most common ones include individual, group, family, and cognitive behavioral therapies. They all aim at establishing the underlying causes of your substance abuse, how it affects you and your family, and how best to prevent relapse.
Don’t Worry About What Happens in Rehab!
Just get up and go! You’ll find another family waiting for you at the facility. It may be a little difficult to adjust to your new home, but two days won’t pass before you feel settled.

Just over a month after confirming its first ever sponsorship deal with British boxer Tommy Langford, TXODDS has announced a new deal with darts player Daryl Gurney.
Gurney, who is in the top 20 on the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) Order of Merit for 2017, will be showcasing the TXODDS logo on his chest for the biggest televised tournaments.
The Northern Irishman enjoyed a breakthrough weekend in Barnsley last month after beating Kim Huybrechts 6-3 to claim his first ranking title at the Players Championship Seven and a prize of £10,000. This followed on quickly from his run to the semi-finals of the Coral UK Open in March.
Gurney said: “I am absolutely thrilled to have landed this sponsorship deal with TXODDS, which makes the world of difference to me with my aim of breaking into the top 16 of the world in 2017.”

Buy Mamra Badam Online
Mamra is a term that specifies crispy and crunchy texture of a snack (murmura in Hindi). Probably the crunchy texture of this Iranian Badam is the reason why it has acquired the name Mamra Badam.
Mamra Badams have unique cervical shape and are one of the most expensive of all almonds in the market.
Mamra almonds are cultivated widely in the cold-rocky plains of Iran, in Afghanistan and in the Kashmir valley of India. This is because the Mamra Badam trees need sandy, loamy or clayey soils a pH of about 1.5% for best yield. Mamra almond seedlings should be planted in well-drained soil with the required pH although they also tolerate acidic, neutral and alkaline pH levels.

MiniWorld3D meets 3D Print Works! Recently, we had the privilege of talking to Dany Sanchez, who is the founder and lead designer of the MiniWorld3D project. This project catalogues world landmarks from all over the globe by 3D printing them, and has grown to incorporate a team of designers as...
3D printed jewellery is completely revolutionising the craft industry because it is cheaper and far easier to make than traditional jewellery. In today’s blogpost we will look at how you can create everyday and bespoke pieces ready for wear through 3D printing. We’ll also show you some of our favourite pieces we found on MyMiniFactory that you can create yourself.
To what extent is 3D printing art? 3D-printing technology has become a useful tool for artists working in a variety of mediums and styles. In this article, we examine 3 different artists and their use of additive manufacturing in their works, and bridge (or should we say print?) the gap between AM and art.
We spoke with Barbara Taylor-Harris a 3D Pen Art creator and Author to find out more about her 3D creations. Having developed a keen interest in her sculpture designs over recent months, we sent her some of our PLA Elefilament Filament to try out.
This 3D artist makes game characters come to life We have been working with 3D artist, Scott McLellan, who recently approached us for assistance with printing his designs. First and foremost, Scott is a character modeller. But he also produces game assets for Solus. | <urn:uuid:3174f75e-ce7b-41ad-95a9-8cf40be1e7ce> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://3d-print-works.com/blogs/news/tagged/3d-artist | 2021-10-23T02:42:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585537.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20211023002852-20211023032852-00152.warc.gz | en | 0.958272 | 325 | [

I had breast cancer as a 29 year old breastfeeding mom, and chose to have a radical mastectomy... my kids needed me. But I spent some time bonding with my breasts the night before. Here's my story.
I had breast cancer as a 29 year old breastfeeding mom, and chose to have a radical mastectomy… my kids needed me. But I spent some time bonding with my breasts the night before. Here’s my story.
It is not easy for a young woman in her late 20’s to remove a whole breast to save her life. I had to take this horrible decision at the age of 29 and it was not easy though I did not express it out loud.
I would like to share my simple experience a few hours before my surgery, so that people who have someone in their family fighting breast cancer will empathize with them. I also want those who have been or may have to go through it to feel that they are not alone in this fight. There are others who have fought it and come out of it triumphantly. I myself have lived 25 years of a fruitful and happy life after being through the treatment.
It all started when I discovered a lump in my breast when I was breastfeeding my daughter, who was just 10 months. Later I decided the lump needed some attention when I checked it out during my bath. It looked hard, clumpy, and different from just any bumps on our body. Unfortunately, it turned out to be breast cancer, Stage III.
As I went through the decisions of choosing a treatment plan and going ahead with the surgery for removal of the whole breast, the bathroom itself had become a safe haven for me.
Our well wishers do not realize that sometimes the good wishes, questions, guidance become too much for the patient themselves to tolerate. In such a situation, the bathroom was the one place I could lock myself in, and no one would ask me why I had locked the door. It is always convenient to slip into the bathroom for some alone time without anyone questioning me, especially when I want to avoid questions.
Our well wishers do not realize that sometimes the good wishes, questions, guidance become too much for the patient themselves to tolerate.
My surgery was scheduled at 7 a.m. in the morning, on 28th April 1996. It was past midnight, but I could not get a wink of sleep. I lay restless on the hospital bed, wondering how life would be without a breast.
The emotions were confusing, because I knew deep in my heart that breasts do not mean much. None of the species other than humans have ever given so much importance to breasts. I haven’t seen any cow, dog or cat showing any special attention to this anatomy as we humans do. They really get down to the point quickly without any attention to the breasts.
I had come up with all the arguments to make myself feel at ease, but still I felt something in my stomach crunch to think a part of me is going to be removed completely in a few hours. I did not expect these emotions, because as a mother of two children who were too young, I had decided that they needed their mom more than me needing my breast. I had argued enough to steel myself for this procedure, yet, here I was feeling confused, sad and angry.
The emotions were quite confusing and conflicting, I was not sure how to deal with it. I got up and entered the bathroom, as this was fast becoming my safe refuge for thinking things over in my mind. As I looked into the mirror on the bathroom wall, my boobs stared back at me through the hospital gown. They were looking larger than their usual self, as though they were threatening me. Then I realized that those poor things were just swollen with a collection of milk, since I had abruptly stopped breastfeeding my daughter. I just wanted to have a look at myself as I am, before being cut and stitched.
I pulled the gown over top of my head and stood there naked, watching my breasts. They looked good side by side. I tried to imagine the chest with only one breast. I couldn’t. I felt a kind of bond developing with the breast that I was throwing away just because she had given shelter to the cancer tumour. I felt guilty that I had not given a thought to saving her, or salvaging her at all.
When the doctor had given me the option of lumpectomy or mastectomy, I had chosen total radical mastectomy because I wanted to be sure that cancer would not be left behind in my breast. I did not want any risk involved.
But standing here in front of the mirror, looking at myself, I wondered about my decision. Will I be ever able to wear all regular dresses or do I need something different hereafter? How will my status as a woman be affected by this? I knew I had no answers.
Suddenly I could feel a rush of love for my breast that was going to be sacrificed tomorrow. It was as though she was an entity of her own, someone different from me and I was bidding her goodbye.
I cupped both my hands around her and held her lovingly for 5 minutes. I am not sure whether I was comforting my breast or myself, but that was it. It was a bonding moment with my breast for me, like we share with another person with a hug. It was a soothing, comforting and releasing moment for me, a time when I could really let go of my breast even before the surgery.
Snatching my life from Cancer and living it happily for 25 years. This is me 25 years after the cancer experience.
I looked at myself for one final time, trying to etch the picture of myself with two breasts in my mind. I wished I could photograph myself like this, but it was too late. Those were not the days of mobile phones or digital photos. My surgery was scheduled in a few hours. Sigh! I let the idea go and walked out of the bathroom, and slept on my bed. I could actually catch some winks of sleep after that.

On & Off the Green
Harris Teeter Managers Meetings
Hilton Head, SC
Sunday night kicked off with Rick Gerber – The Magic Guy, entertaining the Harris Teeter buyer during dinner. Later, it was off to the hotel bar, where the Rick wowed store managers at an impromptu get-together.
First thing Monday morning, Gerber staked out the 12th hole (par three), where Harris Teeter’s managers waited for the preceding golfers to clear the green.
Rick capitalized on this time to interact with every Harris Teeter Manager by treating them to some entertaining magic while conveying specific Michelob Ultra marketing messages – such as upcoming promotions and pricing.
Greg Coffelt – Anheuser-Busch, Inc. Sr. Key Account Manager – Region 3, coordinated Rick’s appearance. With Rick’s assistance, he was able to secure several ad placements. He can attest that when it comes to golf tournaments, Rick is more than a magician; he’s a salesman with something up his sleeve! | <urn:uuid:23389af4-67c2-4b68-9527-a406f731fb73> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://rickgerber.com/2005/11/retailer-golf-tournaments/ | 2021-10-24T11:20:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323585997.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20211024111905-20211024141905-00232.warc.gz | en | 0.924206 | 221 | [

While studying engineering in Computer Science, there is a need of accurate technical knowledge to design software, web application, platforms, etc. For that it is important to have knowledge of few best programming languages and scripting languages.
Before that learning C/C++ is enough to understand the basic program structure which will help to understand them. There are following best programming languages which will prove very useful to computer engineers -:
Python has a very simple syntax making it easy to learn especially by non-programmers. In python, one can write more efficient and optimized for particular problem statements as compared to C# and Java.
Also, Python is cross-platform allowing it to run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS. It has third party modules and extensive support libraries. Application areas are GUI based desktop applications, Web Frameworks and Web Applications, Enterprise and Business Applications, Operating Systems, Language Development, Image processing and graphic design applications, Scientific and Computational Applications and Games.
It is a pure object oriented language with a strong memory backup which avoids memory leak and uses automatic garbage collection method. It contains rich class libraries which are easy to implement. Like python, C# is also cross platform.
It is clear enough to understand because of get-set methods and no header files required. It has backward compatibility. Application areas of C# are Windows Services, Web applications (Client Server Applications), Web Services, Games (using Unity), Console Applications, Workflow Applications (Applications that automate processes), Class Libraries.
Go (also known as Golang) is developed by Google and is open source. It has cross compiling, garbage collecting capabilities. It also maintains simplicity, scalability and concurrency. Applications are Cloud Computing, Web Applications, Microservices and Server Development.
5. Android with Kotlin
Kotlin is a statically typed programming that runs on Java Virtual Machine which is derived from java. It is more concise, safer, better support for functional programming than java. It speeds up everyday development tasks. The codebase shrinks and increases the quality.
The main application of Kotlin is in Android App Development. Further Kotlin helps reduce errors and bugs in the code and made developers more satisfied. Kotlin is completely interoperable with java. | <urn:uuid:b25b9459-818d-4985-a3cb-00a45ae37a44> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://stutalks.com/best-programming-languages/ | 2021-10-25T23:31:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323587770.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20211025220214-20211026010214-00312.warc.gz | en | 0.926034 | 453 | [

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a box of green coffee?
We sell green coffee in 65-lb, rectangular cardboard boxes with handles, to make green coffee easier to move, carry, store, and stack.
Inside the boxes, the coffee is sealed in food-grade plastic bags that, in nearly all cases, are sealed in their origin country. Once they’re stateside, they’re stored in our temperature controlled, food-grade warehouse in our East Coast warehouse in Harrisburg, PA and our West Coast warehouse in Kent, WA.
What’s a GO Green Bag
GO Green Bags are recyclable polypropylene bags that are lined with food-grade-plastic. We use them inside our cardboard boxes.
They stand as straight as the boxes and can be stacked, plus they have long handles that can be looped onto a forklift’s pallet forks. The GO Green Bags, also have additional loops on the bottoms that make them easy to lift vertically.
GO (pronounced “gō”) is short for Genuine Origin. Sometimes we just go by “GO”.
How large are your samples?
Samples are 300 grams (0.66 lbs) of green coffee.
We are a provider of high quality, specialty coffees for commercial roasters. Samples are intended for roasters to evaluate our coffees before buying 65lb boxes. Samples are not intended to be a small batch solution.
We reserve the right to decline requests for samples, and the maximum number of samples per order is six (6) total, no more than two (2) per coffee. If you have sampled coffees and need assistance in selecting a coffee to purchase, please contact your sales rep, and they will be happy to assist you in your process.
How does shipping work?
All of our boxes of green coffee ship FREE - automatically - no minimums - no contracts - no code needed - within the Continental United States. Orders generally ship out the next business day. Please plan accordingly. Feel free to stock up, mix and match coffees and enjoy more savings with our automatic quantity discounts. Your boxes will arrive via UPS ground (brown truck). In multiple box orders, it is possible for some boxes to arrive later than others as each box has a unique tracking number and transit path.
For information about palletized LTL shipments, multiple pallet orders and contracting coffee, please contact us. We will send you tracking information via email after your order ships.
Samples ship free to qualified commercial roasters.
Why hasn’t my order shipped?
Orders generally ship out the next business day. Orders should be submitted by 11:59PM EST to be shipped out on the next business day. If you submit your order past our cut-off time or if one or more of the coffees you selected are afloat at the time of ordering, your order may be delayed. Orders scheduled with a future shipment date will ship out on the shipment date. If you have questions about your order status or need tracking information you can visit your Account Page or email us at [email protected]
Can I place an order for the future?
Yes! During checkout you can choose a shipment date up to 90 days in the future. You won't be charged until we're ready to ship your coffee. We will bill your credit card for the entire amount of your order 48 hours before your selected ship date.
Selecting a delivery date 90 days out is a great way to hold coffee that you know you will want in the future, without having to pay for it up front and without accruing carry costs.
A Note about PayPal Orders: We do not accept PayPal for orders with shipment dates more than 5 days in advance. Due to our terms with PayPal, orders placed via PayPal will be billed within 5 days of creation.
Can I contract coffee?
Yes and No. Genuine Origin operates on a standard retail model: You want something, you go online, you buy it and we ship it to you. (Versus the traditional model, where you contract coffee, ask for it to be sent to you in portions — i.e., released — and get charged for “storing” it in a warehouse.) With Genuine Origin, every order has one shipping date, and that’s when we send it to you. Want 10 boxes “released” every month? Just create as many orders as you’d like deliveries. If you want to create a long-range plan for your roasting business that requires timing or volumes beyond those listed on our website, get in touch with our sales team or customer service. We will help you lock in prices, store coffee and get you all set up.
But if I don’t contract coffee, will it become unavailable?
If there’s a microlot that you love, and we have a limited number of boxes, you could set up multiple orders with multiple delivery dates, if you know you want that coffee but don’t want to buy it all (and pay for it all) at once. Another option is to select a community lot. While microlots are one-time offers, our community lots represent a flavor profile from a specific region or community of producers — maybe chocolate and cherry or floral and acidic. We bring together beans that we’re confident will create a profile our customers will love and want to consistently sell year-round, year after year. You can count on a fresh crop of each community lot arriving each year.
The price of coffee is highly influenced by the Coffee Futures Market (C Market). The C Market price is the price the market is willing to pay for coffee at some point in the future and that price can go up or down on a daily basis. While we try to keep our pricing as stable as possible, because of the influence of the C Market, roasters may see prices shift from time to time. Changing our prices with C Market fluctuations helps us remain competitive, source the high-quality coffee Roasters expect from Genuine Origin and pay our partners and producers a fair price for their coffee.
What is an authorization?
An authorization is when a retailer checks to see if a credit card or other payment method has the funds available for the requested transaction. It will usually freeze those funds, guaranteeing they will be available when the card is actually charged. If you place an order more than 72 business hours in the future, we will reverse the authorization, unfreezing those funds. Every bank and lending institution is different, and yours may retain an authorization after Genuine Origin has reversed it, in which case it’s best to contact them. We will re-authorize your card 48 business hours before your shipment date, and charge your card only when your coffee leaves our warehouse.
Do you offer terms?
Our coffee is sold On Demand and all transactions require a credit, debit card or PayPal account. Your card will not be charged until your coffee leaves our warehouse. And remember, credit cards offer terms; so, if you place an order the day after your credit card closes, you have up to 45 days until payment is due. Plus, credit cards offer great perks like miles (for trips with Genuine Origin to places like Peru and Tanzania)!
What other fees apply?
If you require a lift gate for a palletized LTL delivery, a $25 charge applies. Otherwise, zip-o. There are no storage fees, no loading or palletizing fees, no warehousing fees and no taxes.
Can I return coffee?
Unopened boxes of coffee can be returned within 10 business days of delivery less any delivery charges and a $20 per box restocking fee. Buyers will be responsible for all return shipping charges. If it's our fault (eg - we sent you the wrong coffee), we will make it right. Please contact customer service at 646.828.8585 or [email protected] to begin a return.
How do I know if a coffee is a community lot or a microlot?
In the navigation bar, if you hover over SHOP COFFEE, you can choose to view Community Lots or Microlots. But the quickest way to know is that microlot logos are circles with the country name and flag and the tag: microlot. Community lots have unique logos, created in the origin country.
What if I need to change the ship date?
No problem! Just contact customer service at least 48 business hours before the original ship date, and we can change it.
How do discounts work?
Stock up and save! When you order 3, 5, 10 or 24 boxes - even when you mix and match - you’ll see the price per pound and the price per box fall! Our discount schedule is:
• 3 boxes take $.05/lb off
• 5 boxes take $.10/lb off
• 10 boxes take $.15/lb off
• 24 boxes take $.30/lb off
Why don’t you sell certified FTO coffees?
We usually have one or two certified Fair Trade or certified Organic coffees among our offerings, but we focus more on an internal set of standards called the Volcafe Way. The majority of Genuine Origin coffees are sourced by teams at origin that work with producers to implement the Volcafe Way. It’s a system designed to maximize farmer prosperity while ensuring environmental and social integrity (because when farmers aren’t earning enough money to feed their families, it’s hard to talk to them about properly recycling water, for example). For our Volcafe Way program, we hired local people from coffee communities around the world and trained them in things like agronomy and small business planning. Today, they provide classes, individual attention and technical field assistance to interested producers in their communities, at no cost or obligation to the producers. The goal is win-win: Producers achieve higher-quality coffees and increased farm yields, which improve their bottom lines — and more high-quality coffees exist for us to deliver to roasters. Plus, more than a certification that customers can feel good about, it’s a philosophy that can be verified by third parties and that, while still just a few years old, is already showing real, data-backed results on the lives of producers and communities.
Do you ever bring roasters to visit your operations in coffee producing countries?
Absolutely! We’re really excited about the work we’re doing and we want everyone to see it. However, origin trips are subject to availability. If you’d like to visit one of our teams on your own, during a time when we don’t have a formal trip arranged, we’d be delighted to help you arrange it. Please email us at [email protected].

How did Einstein help create Eskom? Why can an Indonesian volcano explain the Great Trek? What do King Zwelithini and Charlemagne have in common?
These are some of the questions Johan Fourie explores in this entertaining, accessible economic history spanning everything from the human migration out of Africa 100 000 years ago to the Covid19 pandemic.
Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom is an engaging guide to complex debates about the roots and reasons for prosperity, the march of opportunity versus the crushing boot of exploitation, and why the builders of societies – rather than the burglars – ultimately win out.
Join the author on this enriching journey through an African-centred history and the story of our long walk towards a brighter future.

During the spring and summer seasons, my childhood days were filled with pick-up games of line ball and backyard Whiffle ball. My buddies and I followed the heroics of Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, and Ernie Banks. We traded baseball cards and attached them to our bikes with wooden clothes pins to hear them flutter against the spokes. As an adult, the beauty and joy of baseball has both mellowed and deepened. Whether or not you are a fan and follower of baseball—I hope you find that these truths to be relevant to your life. REM
Truths Within Baseball: Relational, Theological, and Practical
1. We all have a position and job to do. All baseball teams have pitchers, catchers, infielders, outfielders, all-stars, and role players. For a team to be successful, each player must know his role and do his best to fill that role. A team cannot win solely on the amazing performance of a single player. It takes a complete team effort—those on the field, those in the dugout, and those in the bullpen. At home or at work—to really win, everyone must know their role and how they are important to the team’s success.
2. You are lost if you don’t know where home is. “Baseball is quintessentially American in the way it tells us that as much as you travel and far as you go, out to the green frontier, the purpose is to get home, back to where the others are, the pioneer ever striving to come back to the common place. A nation of migrants always, for all their wandering, remembers that what every immigrant never forgets; that you may leave home but if you forget where home is, you are truly lost and without hope.” Bart Giamatti
3. But—when we return home—we can only stay for a short while. “Baseball is a game about homecoming. It is a journey by theft and strength, guile and speed, out around first to the far island of second, where foes lurk in the reefs and the green sea suddenly grows deeper, then to turn sharply, skimming the shallows, making for a shore that will show a friendly face, a color, a familiar language, and, at third, to proceed, no longer by paths indirect but straight, to home. Baseball is about going home, and how hard it is to get there and how driven is our need. It tells us how good home is. Its wisdom says you can go home again but that you cannot stay. The journey must always start once more, the bat an oar over the shoulder, until there is an end to all journeying.” Bart Giamatti
4. To achieve anything worthwhile in life requires real risk. A batter has just hit a crisp single to the outfield and now he proudly stands on first base. This is a fine achievement—but the goal in baseball is not to arrive a first base but to cross home plate. To get to second base will require risk. The runner must creep away from first base and attempt to steal second. This is an opportunity that involves change. But he must take the risk because remaining on first base is of no value. His single only matters if he can get home. Be wise and prudent—but also do not be afraid to take risks.
5. Even fallen stars can provide lessons. When my boys were younger, they were amazed by the batting talents of Barry Bonds. As a hitter, his skill and power were incredible. But, in the public eye, Barry Bonds was not so impressive—he seemed prideful. The boys found it interesting that they were not drawn to Bonds, but to the SF Giants first baseman, J.T. Snow. Snow was not an impressive player—but he seemed like a nice guy—he played the game with integrity. One of my boys once commented, “If Barry Bonds acted nice like J.T. Snow, everybody would really love him. People already love him (Bonds) even though he seems stuck-up. But if he was nice—they’d really love him.” What won their hearts were not the towering home runs—but the winsome guy who smiled.
6. The elegant geometry and timing of baseball. Finding beauty in a moment of time. A runner is on first base and the ball is hit on the ground to an infielder. With the crack of the bat begins a beautiful ballet of sliding and lifting bodies as a double play is turned—the ball traveling to second base and then relayed to first. It is beautiful—it is art–the movement of the players and the transition of the ball in a seamless conveyance of continual motion.
The elegance of baseball-esque geometry is best appreciated with a runner on first base as a ball is hit deep to the right fielder. The ball is hit on a line as the right fielder scampers to track it down. The fielder gathers the ball and comes up throwing as the runner sprints around second base, leaning to his left as he turns the arc toward third. You can see the curved route of the runner rounding second in a race with the ball hurtling on its descending trajectory toward third base. Both ball and base runner simultaneously arrive, lines intersecting in one moment.
7. Always be alert. Baseball can seem like such a peaceful and languid game. The action seems to move so slowly. But, with the swing of the bat, things can change in a moment. And as you sit in the stands—behind first or third base—always be alert and attend to the game. Go ahead and visit with your friends, but never turn your head away from the field or ignore the pitched or batted ball. At times, life can be peaceful and pastoral, but change often comes suddenly.
8. Just try to hit the ball hard. You can only do what you are able to do—but do it! Focus on what you can control. Don’t try to be the hero. Wait for your pitch, be patient, swing at strikes, and make solid contact. Just try to hit the ball hard, and over time, good things will happen. Put the ball solidly into play and make the defense do something. Don’t try to hit for the fence. Instead, be in control of your swing, hit the ball hard, and the big hits will come on their own.
9. Take direction and throw to the glove. Be trustworthy and look out for someone else. Be willing to follow another person’s lead. A successful pitcher must trust and have confidence in his catcher. The catcher flashes the sign to his pitcher, the pitcher eventually and subtly nods his head in agreement, and he throws. The catcher needs to be a mindful shepherd. Guiding his pitcher to throw the right pitch, to the right batter, in the right situation. In turn, the pitcher needs to listen to the thoughts of the catcher and trust him. When on the mound– -the wise pitcher dialogs with the person he trusts so he can focus on one thing—pitching.
10. Most of the time, the signs from the 3rd base coach don’t mean a thing—they’re just distractions. The batter steps out of the batter’s box and glances over his left shoulder as he watches an older man, standing in foul territory near third base, as he wipes his hands on his jersey, taps a finger to his cap, rubs the back of his neck, and then claps his hands three times. In life there are many decoys—there are communications and messages that actually say nothing at all. If you watch the third base coach very carefully, you’ll discern that most of his gestures and movements don’t mean a thing. Most of his movements are theatrical distractions meant only to confuse others—to deceive and distract. So, don’t be distracted, but be watchful, and know what you’re looking for. Look for the indicator, get the sign, receive the message, and then do the right thing.
11. Ballpark food is a nice treat—but it’s a rip-off. Treat yourself every so often. When it is time to celebrate, celebrate with gusto. But, don’t volunteer to get ripped off. I attend many baseball games in San Francisco, but I don’t purchase ballpark food or beverages. I’d rather plan ahead and enjoy good food at a fair price. Rather than having a ballpark hot dog and an overpriced beverage, I prefer to walk to Chinatown and enjoy a bowl of wonton soup and a plate of chow mien. I’d rather walk to the Ferry Building and enjoy a cup of coffee and a baguette of real sour french bread. I’d rather find a sandwich shop and bring the sandwich with me into the ballpark. Ballpark food is not bad, but other food is better. Make your choices wisely.
12. If you’re going to a baseball game—why not make a day of it—celebrate—arrive early and leave late. Make the most of the moment. Going to a baseball game is an event. Don’t be hurried into it. Arrive early and take in the neighborhood. Immerse yourself in the pre-game buzz and excitement. Take in batting practice as you watch players stretch, run on the outfield grass, and shag fly balls. Stand up, put your hand over your heart, and even sing the national anthem. When the game has ended don’t leave early, don’t cheat yourself. Drink it all in. Enjoy the very last drop. And don’t fight the exit lines. Linger in your seat, take in the view, enjoy the quiet and calm following the game. Your car (and the rest of life) will wait for you. There is a season for everything. This is a moment to savor and not rush.
13. Bring your camera and make a memory. Some of my warmest memories from childhood and as a father have been built in ballparks. Memories of exciting plays, memories of standing and cheering, memories of baseball characters who I’ve shared with those I love. And whenever I go to a baseball game, I bring a camera because I want to remember those sweet, shared moments.
14. Bring your glove to the game—good things can happen. Having your glove on your hand keeps you engaged. If you are going to live, if you are going to show up, be fully engaged. If you’re going to a baseball game, bring your glove. Will a batted ball come your way? Probably not. But just having the glove on your hand keeps your mind and heart in the game. So—if you are going to show up at the ballpark of life, bring your glove. Be fully engaged and be ready. Be prepared for a surprise—a ball may just come your way.
15. Bring someone you love to share the game and the moment. Don’t live life alone. And don’t go to a baseball game alone. Baseball players and baseball fans survive and thrive in community. The game only counts if you share it with someone. So buy an extra ticket and bring someone to the game.
16. Baseball and its season (much like life and love) can break your heart. “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the Spring when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the Summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rain comes, it stops and leaves you to face the Fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, and when you need it most, it stops.” B. Giamatti.
17. Overcoming fear. “A man on a hill prepares to throw a rock at a man slightly below him, not far away, who holds a club. First, fear must be overcome; no one finally knows where the pitched ball, or hit ball, will go. Most of the time control, agility, planning avert brutality and force sport. Occasionally, suddenly, usually unaccountably, the primitive act of throwing or striking results in terrible injury. The fear is never absent, the fear that randomness will take over. If hitting a major league fastball is the most difficult act in organized sport, the difficulty derives in part from the need to overcome fear in a split second.” B. Giamatti
18. Playing catch—the rhythm, reciprocity, and being together—sharing. “Can there be a more peaceful, cooperative, and reciprocal activity than playing catch? In the backyard, at the park, or at the beach. Tossing a baseball. Not too fast and not too slow. Throw the ball just like the other person likes. There might be conversation as you throw the ball—there may be a peaceful silence. The ball whirs through the air and the glove closes on each toss. There is no time limit, keeping score. There is no winner or loser. You are doing this
separately and together. Together you are playing catch with life. But, playing catch can be complicated. A game of catch is a complicated communication. The father has the stronger arms, the surer hands. The child has the enthusiasm, a passionate hope that his ball playing will improve, and something immediate to find out. The first time a baseball bounces against your shin or pops out of your glove into your cheekbone, you learn the presiding reality of the sport. The ball is hard. After that, you make a decision. Is the pain the ball inflicts worth the pleasure of playing the game? Pain and pleasure, the stuff of love and life, runs strong in baseball.” Roger Kahn
19. It’s just a game and a story—but it’s much more than a story. Baseball is a game of history. On a macro-scale its history includes labor strife, geographical change, population migration, and racial integration. But, baseball is also a story of individuals and teams. Amazing stories of struggle, triumph, overcoming adversity, and not finishing well. Stories of Lou Gehrig (“You’ve been reading about the bad break I got. Yet, today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the Earth”), the 1919 Chicago White (Black) Sox scandal (“Joe—say it ain’t so”), Bill Buckner (1986 World Series and the grounder through his legs), Jim Abbott (the one-handed pitcher), and Branch Rickey (the general manager who broke the color barrier and introduced Jackie Robinson to the major leagues). Our lives make sense as stories. And our lives are a part of much bigger stories. We all need to know our stories. We need to understand how we are built from the stories that have come before us and how they nurture and propel the stories that follow. As Grantland Rice wrote, “For when the One Great Scorer comes to mark against your name, He writes not that you won or lost, but how you played the game.” | <urn:uuid:b519a557-a259-4ba1-9295-509eb081e250> | CC-MAIN-2021-43 | https://richmoreyphd.com/baseball-and-life/ | 2021-10-28T21:19:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-43/segments/1634323588526.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20211028193601-20211028223601-00472.warc.gz | en | 0.966076 | 3,203 | [
