Deborah Cain with volunteers and Mary Evans during visit to the Tuscaloosa VA Nursing Home (click for larger image)
The Prayer Shawl Ministry is pleased to provide some information on all our activities during the first half of 2017.
We have made and given:
19 shawls or throws to parishioners and friends who have had surgery or were in the hospital
8 throws to people for comfort after a loss
15 blankets to the Footprints Organization
a throw to Father Underwood at St. John Vianney House
16 shawls or throws to the VA Nursing Home in Pell City
5 throws to the Sisters in the infirmary at Sacred Heart in Cullman
38 hats and 21 scarves to the Changed Lives Christian Center
28 shawls or throws to the Little Sisters of the Poor in Mobile
10 shawls or throws to Eastview Nursing Home
10 shawls or throws to Self-Nursing Home
24 hats, 19 shawls and throws to a local Oncology Department.
In addition to this list of kindnesses, we made a trip to the VA Hospital and Nursing home in Tuscaloosa to bring 30 throws to the men and 10 shawls for women. This is quite a feat considering that we have a small group of eight faithful workers: Jimmie Chicarello, Pam Dodd, Margaret Kernan, Pat Roden, Barbara Thompson, Patty Wehby, Hilda Willis and Mary Evans.
We would like to thank all those who have made a monetary donation, or a yarn donation. Also, we would like to thank those who help us pray for all these people who truly need our prayers.

Tax reform is coming in September, regardless of what happens with health care, says Gary Cohn, director of the National Economic Council.
President Donald Trump has promised tax reform since taking office in January, but some have questioned whether he can accomplish it this year, especially if Congress’ attempts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act fail. Cohn dismissed concerns, telling MSNBC on Thursday that the White House will “absolutely” get tax reform done.
“We were going to get to tax reform if this passes or it doesn’t pass,” Cohn said, referring to the Senate’s health-care bill. “We are on a tax reform agenda when we come back in September when the August recess is over. We will be 100 percent engaged in tax reform.”
The two areas Cohn said the administration has to work on to grow the economy are the tax code and regulations.
He also pushed back at criticism that the Trump administration’s goal of reaching 3 percent GDP is unrealistic. Shortly before Cohn’s interview aired, the Commerce Department released figures showing GDP increased at a 1.4 percent annual rate.
“We do not think 3 percent GDP is that lofty of a goal,” Cohn said. “We think we’re setting very realistic expectations.”

PORTLAND (AP) — Research-ers from Portland State University say the Columbia River has suitable conditions for invasive freshwater mussels to grow if they get a toehold. The researchers told the Northwest Power and Conservation Council Thursday that the water chemistry and temperatures are suitable for quagga and zebra mussels to grow if they get introduced. The mussels have wreaked havoc on docks, dams, and freshwater ecosystems from the Great Lakes to the Southwest, but so far not the Northwest.

This Time It’s Public!
A recent report on digital attitudes shows that while 50% of people in the UK say that the Internet has a positive impact on their lives, only 12% believe it has a positive impact on society.1 Mark Zuckerberg’s recent failure to give a straight answer to questions about misuse of Facebook’s user data, illustrates a major problem.
Much has been made of the democratising effect of social media platforms. However, while more of us are encouraged to “have our say”, we have less influence over the important decisions that most affect our lives, our localities, and the ways in which our societies are organised. The owners of digital platforms from Facebook to Uber, answer to shareholders in private, rather than to citizens in public. It should therefore not surprise us when they manipulate, monetize and exploit users’ interactions, attitudes and behaviours for their own commercial and political interests.
This problem of privately owned social space is not one that can be resolved by consumer and state regulation alone. It is a wider societal issue that further reinforces to us at Furtherfield, the immense value of park spaces in which neighbours come together each day, renegotiating in public, the spirit of the place through a diverse mingling of purposes.
Fieldwork in Human and Machine Imagination
Over the last six years more than 50,000 people have encountered over 75 digital artworks that Furtherfield has brought to the park, working with international artists who reveal the invisible forces at play in machine and digital infrastructures. This summer Furtherfield extends its programmes beyond the Gallery and Commons venues into public green space of the park as we announce the first exhibitions, workshops and labs as part of Platforming Finsbury Park.
We are inviting park users to collaborate with us to transform the park into a public platform for cultural adventures, social inventions and reflections; to work with artists, hackers and academics from all backgrounds to rethink the social impact of technology and its flows on public spaces; and to bring local needs to the forefront in the context of planetary-scale techno-social advancements.
Currently showing at Furtherfield Gallery in the heart of Finsbury Park is the exhibition Poetry for Animals, Machines and Aliens: the Art of Eduardo Kac which is free and open to the public every day through May. The exhibition includes Lagoogleglyph, the third in a series of images as part of a global, networked artwork that takes the form of a pixelated bunny painted (in this instance) onto a field in the park, to be enjoyed by people on the ground and seen from Google Earth. In his essay Andrew Prescott, curator of the exhibition and Professor of Digital Humanities at Glasgow University revisits historic antagonisms between culture and technology prompted by reflections on the invention and imagination at play in Kac’s digital poetry.
Meanwhile families are joining artist Michael Szpakowski to use the very same satellite infrastructure to create GPS bunny drawings in his workshop series Let’s Fill the Park With Rabbits!
We hope that Platforming Finsbury Park will also start to flip some assumptions about who and what both art and technology are for. Over 180 languages are spoken in Finsbury Park. We want to make space for conversations and experiments with people from different backgrounds. Alongside the exhibition Andrew Prescott is also leading a series of public workshops on the theme of Digital Transformations promoting dialogue between and across diverse cultures.
Work, Pleasure, Survival
In late May, we host Playbour – Work, Pleasure, Survival, a 3 day lab for artists, scientists and technologists dedicated to “the worker in an age of data and neurotechnologies”. From these will flow art commissions and collaborations towards our next exhibition in July.
Here you can read an interview with designer Ling Tan about the SUPERPOWER wearable technology workshops at Furtherfield Commons last summer in Finsbury Park. Ling tells us about how a group of young women from All Change Arts worked with her to devise activities and to learn about creating and interpreting data to themselves shape attitudes and behaviours. Dani Admis, curator of Playbour, continues this work later in the summer, exploring with local young women how they might effect change on their own terms, using the conceptual power tools of neuroscience.
Finally a provocation to Furtherfield from Simon Poulter, artist, technologist and producer of NetPark, the digital art park at Metal in Southend, who is working in partnership with us. He celebrates our commitment to the commons “as a real thing, worth our energy and stewardship, the point at which people do touch each other and listen.” He also issues a call to action…“It is time to invent another future, lest we will become the disrupted and not the disruptors.”
As Manuel Castells famously put it ‘The flows of power generate the power of flows, whose material reality imposes itself as a natural phenomenon that cannot be controlled or predicted… People live in places, power rules through flows’.2 And in network society these flows often have the power to wash clean away communities’ ties, extracting value and flowing it to the private interests of absent and distant persons and bodies.
So our future mission grounds us in Finsbury Park, while maintaining our global reach. We are passionate and committed to multiple points of entry, bringing in consenting and diverging voices, to channel and circulate flows locally to generate the power to enact this public place together with verve. | <urn:uuid:9cd6e7af-04cb-4fa7-b8eb-7a533fa5bd84> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.furtherfield.org/editorial-platforming-finsbury-park/ | 2018-05-20T13:45:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863570.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180520131723-20180520151723-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.943125 | 1,133 | [

Generally, our good thoughts fuel our progress in the right direction and we are able to overcome edgy thoughts, and lazy or impractical impulses. But there are times when our mind is our worst enemy, dragging us towards compulsions, addiction, depression, anxiety and other unwanted habits. We try to impose our willpower but our mind, like a rebellious child, asserts its independence and continues misbehaving.
Whether we are resisting the urge for an ice cream sundae, or the next shot of whiskey, trying to stop habitual rage, or trying to get up off the couch to mow the lawn, we realize that controlling our mind presents extraordinary challenges. We also feel helpless when we try to control our emotions. Even when we wish we could control our feelings, we continue to suffer from relentless fear, worry, jealousy, depression and so on.
We believe our mind should submit to simple logic and self-control, and are confused and shocked when we and others fail to live up to these basic rules. While we recognize that forces other than logic and willpower are at work in our mind, we don’t understand these forces and usually overlook or minimize them.
How to change and grow
Once we decide to learn more about the workings of our mind, we need guidance to see beyond old patterns. In our culture, we get little training or experience to help us understand what we see and hear when we peer within ourselves. Fortunately, there are teachings, as old as recorded history, that can help us make sense of our internal world. These teachings take us directly to the laboratory of our own mind where we discover for ourselves our mind’s basic operating principles.
Most religions include instructions for some form of meditation, but the eastern religious teachings of yoga and Buddhism convey some of the most direct, detailed instructions. The ancient practice of yoga teaches us to still our wondering thoughts by repeating a phrase, usually related to God or peace or love, over and over. We can also still the roving of our visual mind by staying focused on an image, such as an imagined candle flame.
Another type of meditation called mindfulness teaches us how to be perfectly aware of each moment. One well-known western teacher of mindfulness, Jon Kabat-Zin, guides his beginning students through the simple act of eating raisins. In staying focused within the experience, rather than mentally wandering forward to the future, back to the past, or out into the world, meditators draw their attention into the surprisingly powerful and healing point in time called Now.
To us westerners, accustomed to action and expression, this process of introspection and internal work seems lonely and boring. Yet it offers powerful, far-reaching benefits. By following the simple instructions of meditation, we build up a vocabulary that describes the nature of our own mind. We discover the relentless flow of thoughts, its unpredictability and its laws. In learning about our own mind, we become wiser about ourselves and about each other, and are able to respond to the events of the world with more wisdom and poise.
The work we do in meditation is, in one sense, like calisthenics for our mind, making it more supple and healthy. When we leave the confines of our meditation room, our mind is refreshed, bringing freshness and vitality to every aspect of our life.
Compassion and understanding of others
As we become more aware of our thoughts, we gain valuable insights into our mental patterns, and gradually learn how to adjust our responses. Rather than reacting impulsively, basing our reactions on old, unproductive habits, we gain a split second during which we can make more conscious choices about how we want to behave.
As we grow more aware of our patterns, we also begin to understand patterns in others. We perceive their impulses and their emotional needs, and we understand their struggle to sort out their own thoughts and feelings, just as we must do. Our awareness of their internal process heightens our empathy and reduces our sense of isolation and self-defense. We begin to realize the presence of the same transcendent reality in all beings. Hindus greet each other by saying, Namaste, which means, “I bow to the God within you.”
Our mind constantly scans for new input. Attracted by endless mental associations it wanders into dead-ends and detours. For example, a feeling of fatigue triggers off the thought, “I’m hungry.” From there we engage in a complicated debate about what to eat, whether we’ll enjoy it, how many calories it has, if our body shape meets our satisfaction, if people like us, and so on.
Fears, body sensations, images and interactions send our mind sliding down these pathways reminding us of other emotionally charged memories. Out of one remembered humiliation, or the frustration of an unfulfilled need, a whole state of mind is spawned. Thoughts, like sparks blowing in the wind, can drop anywhere, igniting the burning flames of misdirected emotion and action.
Key to satisfaction is focus
When our mind wanders, we feel scattered and bored, and feel pressured to get moving so we can feed our mind’s need for fascination. Hopping around from one thing to another, we land on things we don’t enjoy or even want, creating worries, compulsions, anger, and blame. Many of our most distressing moments come when our unfocused mind fixates on something that makes us miserable.
On the other hand, our most satisfying moments come when we’re focused on invigorating goals. When we fall in love our mind is drawn into focus on one person, and we feel lifted, and even intoxicated. And when we’re working on a creative project, or trying to achieve an important goal we feel the rewards of intensely channeling and sustaining our energy.
Orienting our lives to find sustained relief
Most of us try to organize our lives to provide enough focus to satisfy our roving mind. Fire fighters, police, soldiers and racecar drivers may look for danger. Doctors and nurses look for the intense focus of serving others, while engineers look for the intensity of solving problems. Each of us seeks the release of focused activity, even if it’s the attraction of watching an intense movie, because it distracts us from our mental wanderings. While these activities satisfy us, they are dependent on external events. Once the event is over, we need to look for another one, hoping it will have the power to gather our attention.
We all naturally try to organize our lives around focusing activities but we don’t always realize our own underlying motivation. So when we lose focus we become bored or edgy or depressed. We may seek thrills or other shocking ways to recapture our focus. And if we try to increase our involvement in our focusing activity, we may neglect other areas of our life. For example, an artist may become so enraptured in the process of creating that she forgets to take care of herself, or a workaholic may forget to take care of his family. We could gain much more satisfaction over our own internal state by learning to work directly with our need for focus.
Prayer and meditation
In the west we generally think of religions as providing ideas to bind us with God, and organizations to help us bind our community. Religion also serves another valuable service: to gather our attention and focus it in a direction that transcends our daily worries.
Throughout history, religions have offered a variety of ways to distract us from our self involvement. Prayer, whether spoken and chanted aloud, or inwardly, replaces the wandering and worry of the mind. When prayer is practiced as a method to help us lift above our thoughts, and when it is repeated routinely, it serves the same purpose as meditation.
By focusing on prayer to the exclusion of other thoughts, we bring our attention inside, away from the endless distractions of the world. Since we direct our prayers with effort and choice, and because this effort doesn’t depend on external events, it teaches us the raw internal discipline of bringing our concentration onto a single point.
Most meditation traditions have grown out of this ancient desire to draw our attention inward to find transcending connection with a higher truth.
Meditation teaches us to collect our attention without the need for external actions. We gather our attention without going to work, listening to a musical masterpiece or watching a shocking movie. By learning how to create this focus in our mind, we learn mental skills that give us relief from our woes, but also can apply this skill of focus to increase our ability to accomplish tasks.
Meditation shows us how to focus the mind despite the wanderings of our thoughts. By exercising our mind’s focusing skill, we learn how to evade distractions, so we can gather our attention into sharp focus.
Learning to focus becomes a powerful tool that helps us achieve satisfaction and peace. Through this process, we help calm our constant thought-stream. We become more adept at understanding ourselves, and can more quickly spot and weed out patterns that bother us.
With practice we learn how to calm our mental chatter. Gradually the rough edges of old habits wear smooth, and the powerful pull of distractions grows more manageable. In this stillness we open ourselves up to a wellspring of soulful energy, unblocked by fears, anxieties and unruly desires. We feel vitalized by a directed strength we never knew we had. Our focused energy inspires brilliant glimpses of clarity and insight. Far from stopping the mind, we learn to untangle it, and gradually we comprehend our inner and outer circumstances with greater maturity and wisdom.
By investigating what lies behind the curtain of our mind’s endless chatter, we observe a fascinating and curious fact. There is a self, an “I” who observes our own thoughts. Who is this person who is sitting in meditation observing our mental state? By allowing ourselves to experience that “I,” we touch upon the mysteries of the human condition that have intrigued deep thinkers throughout the ages. What is the soul? Where does creativity come from? What is “real” and what is a product of our own mind? By opening ourselves up to the machinery of our mind we tap into the very sources of the world’s philosophy. We can even gain glimpses of our connection with the divine.
Requires continuous renewal
The stillness of meditation is hard-won and fleeting. Because the mind is continually roving through its stores of memories, sensory impressions and desires, stillness requires continual effort. To get the most out of meditation, we must treat it as we would any desired skill. We select a particular method, learn about that method through classes and instruction, and build up a routine of consistent practice. At times we believe we understand our mind, and at other times we feel it’s a completely hopeless task.
When we understand the power, the mystery and the importance of our own internal experience, we gain a greater appreciation for the teachings of religion, and seek to uncover new deeper more spiritual dimensions of ourselves. As Christ said, “Know thy self” and Socrates said “The unexamined life is not worth living.” There is no better way to know and examine our lives than to stare inquiringly into the stream of our own mind.

MANILA — Security camera footage released Saturday of the casino attack in Manila that killed 37 people shows an armed man setting fires in several rooms and stealing gambling chips but making no attempt to shoot fleeing customers and employees.
A Philippine police spokesman, Oscar Albayalde, said the authorities released the footage to show the public that the still-unidentified man acted alone and that his motive was robbery, not terrorism, in the attack early Friday morning at the Resorts World Manila.
“If he was really a terrorist, with all the ammunition he had with him, he would have shot everyone there,” Mr. Albayalde said. “He could have killed hundreds of people.”
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the Manila attack, but the police investigation has found no evidence to support that claim, Mr. Albayalde said.
President Rodrigo Duterte, after visiting wounded soldiers in Cagayan de Oro on the island of Mindanao, joined in dismissing the claim by the Islamic State, also known as ISIS.
“It is not ISIS,” the president said in his first public comment on the attack. “He did not shoot at people. That is not the way of ISIS, whose way is brutal.”
Of the guests and employees who died, 36 were victims of smoke inhalation, Mr. Albayalde said. They had taken refuge in rooms in the gambling area rather than fleeing the building. The 37th victim, a South Korean man, died apparently of a heart attack, the South Korean Embassy said. The gunman also died, apparently of a self-inflicted wound.
The Philippines is on alert for terrorist attacks as the military battles hundreds of Islamist militants who have seized part of Marawi City in the southern Philippines.
Mr. Duterte declared martial law in the region on May 23, but the military has not been able to dislodge hundreds of fighters from two groups that have declared their loyalty to the Islamic State.
The gunman arrived alone at the Manila resort by taxi. Investigators found and interviewed the taxi driver, who said he picked up the man in the San Lazaro neighborhood of Manila, a community of low-cost, high-rise condos and shopping malls.
The driver said the man spoke fluent Tagalog. Some have speculated that the man was a foreigner because of his fair skin, large build and the fluent English he spoke at the casino.
The footage from numerous security cameras shows the man’s movements during the 90-minute episode.
After he arrived, he rode up in an elevator with two women. When he stepped out, he was wearing a mask.
He walked past a metal detector without stopping. A security guard ran after him and the man began firing his weapon, identified by the police as an M4 rifle.
At that point, people began fleeing. Some shouted “ISIS” as they ran, said Armeen Gomez, the chief security officer of Resorts World Manila. More than 1,200 people fled the building.
The man moved through several rooms, pouring fluid on gambling tables and other furniture and setting them on fire. Officials said the building’s sprinklers helped suppress the fires.
The fires were most likely a diversionary tactic while the gunman robbed the casino, Mr. Albayalde said.
The man reached a room where gambling chips were stored, broke in and loaded more than $2 million worth into a backpack.
After emerging from the room, he engaged in a brief shootout with casino security guards. He and a guard were both wounded.
Bleeding, he walked upstairs to the fifth floor. The loss of blood may have weakened him and doomed any escape plan he had.
He shot open the door of Room 510 and went inside, disappearing from the cameras’ view. The police said he set the room on fire and shot himself.
The body was burned beyond recognition, Mr. Albayalde said. The authorities conducted an autopsy and collected the man’s blood from the stairwell in the hope it would help identify him.
At one point, the man removed his face mask and looked directly into a camera, but that had not yet led to his identification by the police. | <urn:uuid:3afbc7be-860d-49cd-9d01-d543b367c540> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/06/03/world/asia/philippines-casino-resorts-world-manila.html | 2018-05-22T14:24:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864790.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522131652-20180522151652-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.980944 | 867 | [

There is an ancient legend that recounts how the Devil, on the day of the Resurrection of Jesus tried to get into heaven by pretending to be the Risen Jesus. The Devil – always a master of deceit and disguise – dressed himself up in the finest robes, and taking with him a contingent of demons all dressed up as angels, appeared before the “Pearly Gates.” With his Assistants as a choir, the Devil intoned the words of one of the Psalms, that has the line: “O gates, lift up your heads, grow higher ancient doors: let him enter the King of glory!” The Angels looked down on the one whom they thought was Jesus, the King of glory, returning after the resurrection from the dead. So they shouted back with joy the next line of the same psalm, that says: “Who is the King of glory?” And in turn the Devil replied: “I am the King of glory,” and in doing so opened wide his hands and arms in the form of a cross. But in that very act of arrogance, the Devil exposed his real nature and showed the Angels that he was an impostor. And they refused to let him in.
How did the Angels know that this was the Devil and not Jesus? Because when he opened wide his arms and hands, the Angels saw no wounds in his hands and his side!
Pain and suffering cause deep wounds and scars that are there for life. They don’t have to be physical wounds. Often the moral and psychological wounds are much more painful. We may try everything to ease or even get rid of pain and suffering altogether. But it may be easier to try to cope with pain, seeking God’s will even in these situations, as Jesus did.
In any case, when it will be our turn to knock on the Pearly Gates, if the Angels do not see any marks of suffering on us, how will they be sure that we are genuine followers of the suffering Servant and the Risen Lord?
In wishing you all a very Happy Easter, also on behalf of the Salesian Community, we are reminded that Good Friday and Easter Sunday are two acts of the same Drama; but we are not merely spectators, we have an active part to play.

Presentation of Letters of Credence (Italian Republic, Republic of Ecuador)
Rideau Hall, Tuesday, April 19, 2017
What a privilege to welcome you to Rideau Hall and to Canada today.
This is a small ceremony, but that doesn’t mean it’s lacking in significance!
Diplomacy is of great importance in this complex, interconnected world. At its best, diplomacy brings people together. It bridges differences. It builds on the strengths of nations, rather than dividing by weaknesses.
That’s the kind of diplomacy Canada seeks to engage in with the countries you represent, and I thank you both for being here.
Ambassador Taffuri, it gives me great pleasure to extend greetings to you as Italy’s representative to Canada. I understand this is your first ambassadorship, so please accept my congratulations and best wishes. You have held numerous diplomatic positions in your career, and we look forward to your contribution to building the relationship between our two countries. I wish you the very best as you settle into your new home.
Italy and Canada share a great deal in our approach to global and regional issues. Our links are based on common values, deep economic, cultural and diplomatic relations, as well as very strong people-to-people ties.
In fact, some 1.5 million Canadians are of Italian origin, and Italian-Canadians have made immeasurable contributions to Canada. As members of the UN, NATO, the G7, we are partners in the world, and Canada looks forward to continued co-operation with Italy in the years to come.
Ambassador Stacey, I note this is your second visit to Canada, so allow me to warmly welcome you back to our country. Having held postings on four continents over the course of a long and distinguished career, you will make a strong contribution to relations between Ecuador and Canada. Your background as a professor of law and diplomacy also gives us something in common, as I served as professor and dean of law in my previous career in post-secondary education. I’m certain you will thrive here in Canada, and I wish you all the best with your new assignment.
Our official relationship between Ecuador and Canada dates back to 1960. Today, our ties continue to grow in the commercial, political and cultural spheres, as well as in our people-to-people ties.
Some notable exchanges are also taking place in education, science and technology. Bilateral trade stands at almost $650 million annually, and we hope to continue this exchange with the aim of creating prosperity for all citizens. Let us seize this opportunity to deepen the co-operation that exists between Canada and Ecuador.
To you both: congratulations once again on your new roles and thank you for your commitment to working with Canada. As you know, 2017 marks the 150th birthday of our country, so your timing is very good! You are very welcome here, so let us work together in a spirit of partnership and co-operation.
I look forward to seeing you again soon. | <urn:uuid:f397555f-6e82-4498-849b-207a42801668> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.gg.ca/document.aspx?id=16782&lan=eng | 2018-05-24T13:46:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866326.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524131721-20180524151721-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.962846 | 629 | [

There are no private taxi companies on Menorca only Taxis licensed for a particular area. Taxis on Menorca are all painted white and use meters which are visible ( sometimes siplayed in rear view mirror. They will show a min. price at start plus the Tarifa ( 3 or 4 = current rate ). At the airport all fares are posted on a column at main arrivals bagge hall exit near the Tourist Information Office. The fiare are re-negogiacted each each year but only go up by a little.
Taxi stands are called Paradas de Taxi
Fares are regulated based on distance, though journeys crossing a boundary into another operating area may incur an extra charge. Check price before starting off. Your driver should be able to give a good idea.
Mahon Airport's Taxi rank is immediately outside arrivals on the ground floor and there are usually plenty, with a few minutes wait at peak times.
Taxis can be requested by telephone - this is known as 'Radio Taxi' and there is normally a supplement for this ( see price tables ) - a single tel. number ( +34 971 367 111 ) which connects you to english speaking service . You state your location and where to be picked up from.
Tip Note radio taxi is is a central service based in Madrid. The people do not know Menorca so be sure of your location / destination first and they will not really know the prices.
Most Taxis are licensed for four passengers but you can ask one of the drivers to callup a 5 seater Taxi for you.
Don't let Taxis wait too long while you get out to do something as there is a big waiting fee ( 17 Eur )
Children are required to sit in the rear and wear a seat belt at all times. You cannot prebook child seats with these Taxis - look at Transfers.

The cruise was full of people trying to have fun and be happy.
We all search for happiness, and we all try to find our own “happily ever after.” The truth is, God knows how to get there! And He has created a map for you; He knows the way. He is your beloved Heavenly Father, who seeks your good, your happiness. He desires with all the love of a perfect and pure Father that you reach your supernal destination.

User friendly URL’s are a personal pet peeve. The last couple consumer focused web applications I’ve written using Struts used a servlet filter to effective rewrite the URL from something like /articles/pets to /do/articles/pets or /articles/pets.do. This same pet peeve kept from me taking any more than a cursory glance at Tapestry, which (at least in the examples I’ve seen) produce some pretty ugly URL strings. Until today that is… Matt Raible pointed out that some guys just converted a 300 page JSP site to Tapestry and the resulting URL’s are pretty nice looking. You can read about how they did it on the Tapestry user list.
Also of note, in Matt’s comments, Dave Keller pointed out an URL rewriting tool on java.net called urlrewrite that looks like it might come in handy sometime. | <urn:uuid:bb240fdb-c7ec-47c6-9eac-e537916681cc> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://cephas.net/blog/2004/07/29/pretty-urls-and-tapestry/ | 2018-05-26T14:06:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526131802-20180526151802-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.908786 | 195 | [

No matter how hard we try to manage our materials there will always be off cuts. The ocp projects are realized with at least 80% waste materials. We use the cut offs to make small objects and as model making materials (e.g. Pre-Pack, 2 Face and the Wu range).

The U.S. Stock market has been trending up for the past 8 plus years. In fact, after hitting a bottom at the end of George W. Bush’s presidency, the market turned around under Obama and has been following the same upward trend line since. While President Trump loves taking credit for the continuation of this trend, which started when Obama took office, in reality, he has much less to do with it than he leads us to believe.
Since taking office, Trump has continued to make it known that the market has been rising. He’s tried to take credit for this every step of the way. That’s why one particular tweet by President Trump this morning is a bit off-target from the message he has been trying to send us since his inauguration.
“Health Insurance stocks, which have gone through the roof during the ObamaCare years, plunged yesterday after I ended their Dems windfall!” President Trump tweeted this morning.
What President Trump seemingly fails to realize is the fact that many large hedge funds, mutual funds and even other corporations which trade on the NYSE and NASDAQ rely heavily on health insurance stocks themselves. The President is apparently bragging over the fact that he single-handedly, with his executive order, caused health insurance stocks to “plunge”, which in turn could have a windfall of its own in affecting the overall market as a whole. Never before in the history of America has a President boasted about causing harm to the stock market, and traders typically don’t take kindly to such words from the leader of our nation.
With the market so high right now, it’s a matter of time before corrections are made and the market pulls back. By coming out and directly attacking a very large segment of the market, President Trump may just happen to speed this pull-back up. Let us know your thoughts on these comments by Trump in the comments section below. | <urn:uuid:bdae9731-4a39-4c40-a483-b2c40f477b5d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://ir.net/news/politics/127821/president-trump-just-bragged-hurting-stock-market/ | 2018-05-27T15:56:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794869272.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527151021-20180527171021-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.983294 | 397 | [

In a recent speech, Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black told the unvarnished truth about proposed regulations coming down the hatch from the Food and Drug Administration.
That being that they’re an “assault on the farming industry.”
He’s right; from Georgia to New York, the FDA’s first-ever push to regulate produce is no more than a package of bureaucratic hogwash running roughshod on domestic produce farmers.
Intended to safeguard consumers from macrobial contamination, they cast the federal regulatory net over “the use of animal manure, water sanitation and other factors that could affect microbial contamination of fresh produce.”
Black pulled no punches in saying it means the gates are likely open to further intrusion, and called on the agency to instead look into tightening its grip on imported foods imported into America rather than domestic producers.
It’s started with produce farmers, but who’s to say chicken or beef farms aren’t next? When in the Obama administration’s time has the mindset been a minimal level of federal intervention?
Crafted as part of the Food Safety Modernization Act, the rules are meant as means for “the FDA to take a more proactive and less reactive position,” in the words of the congressman who sponsored the bill.
According to one report, they impact 40 percent of domestic farms, handing a federal agency the power to impose “new rules for each step of produce farming – from growing to harvesting to packing.”
Black isn’t the first to dub them an excessive overreach and possible nail in the coffin for many small farmers. The Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance decried a “guilty until proven innocent” nature, arguing the inquisition on farmers would bring higher food prices for consumers.
An Albany, New York producer said earlier this month he was certain a $10,000 bill for complying with the new rules was in order for the first year alone, thanks to stricter water compliance standards, “similar to ones used for public swimming pools.”
As he went on to note, that’s not a better means of ensuring food safety, just regulatory excess.
New York Farm Bureau’s Kelly Young questioned why this agency, not the Department of Agriculture, was handling it in the first place and stated farmers will probably be pushed into hiring full-time staff solely to deal with the regulations, meaning higher cost and less profit.
The FDA has consented to reviewing its proposal, though that carries the caveat of not being done until June 2015. In the meantime, the 10th amendment will continue to be disregarded, a point that goes beyond the flaws of the rules themselves.
It’s downright insulting for centralized bureaucrats, hundreds of miles away, to tell state agencies they can do their job better than them. Food safety standards in the domestic arena should chiefly lie with state level agencies, like the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
As Black’s campaign later stated via Twitter, the “GDA can ensure better food safety standards on farms than federal bureaucrats in DC.”
Unfortunately the double-barreled regulatory assault endured by the private sector during the Obama era is unlikely to go anywhere, as evidenced by the president’s fifth State of the Union speech. The FDA has extended a platitude here, but if real solutions were coming soon they’d throw them out altogether.
Based off what we’ve seen thus far, don’t get optimistic there; the assault’s probable to continue. | <urn:uuid:e6ba9712-5333-45ee-b60f-5ae3924362e8> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://townhall.com/columnists/brandonhowell/2014/01/31/the-fdas-doublebarreled-assault-on-farmers-n1787512 | 2018-05-27T16:26:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794869272.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527151021-20180527171021-00154.warc.gz | en | 0.94813 | 737 | [

The Library of Alexandria collection was made of papyrus. The paper generation has continued for the past few centuries. That has been gradually changing to electronic books in only a few decades. This is not simply weight saving, but an ultimate conversion from real to virtual.
Figure 1 shows the ratio of paper magazines and electronic journal titles owned by Chuo University Library, with over half being electronic journal. E-books also make up over one quarter of the collection. Our library’s collection boasts a history of 130 years. However, information is slowly being supplanted by virtual forms.
For e-information, “just searching” can be done simply on a global scale, but “searching properly” is difficult. A huge amount of information can be obtained from smart phones, and Google leads the way in the popularization of searching. Just browsing and linking is enough. However, the ability to access information that can be used in academic and business circles isn’t necessarily improving.
In the time when all books were printed on paper, it was possible to come across necessary materials while walking around the bookshelves. However, at libraries in the age of searching, you can’t expect to have that fortunate meeting called coincidence. If you don’t think of the appropriate keyword when using search technology, you won’t even be able to find a book in our library. You are caught up in a mixture of good and bad and can’t get to the “good” you are looking for. Here, there is the necessity for an improvement in “information literacy ability.” In acquiring information literacy ability, first, you must know the basic whereabouts of academic information and learn the skills to access those places.
For example, a search on Google won’t tell you if the book you need is in our library or not. You need the knowledge to search on CHOIS in Chuo University’s OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). Even if you do know CHOIS, as an example, a simple search of “sekai” when search for Iwanami Shoten’s magazine “Sekai (World)” will give you 30,000 hits, leaving you with an impossible task. Knowledge of exact match search is required.
Or, what should you use as a keyword when searching the database for articles containing the word “sustainability” in CiNii Articles. A search will give you 775 hits for 「サステイナビリティ」, 248 hits for 「サスティナビリティ」, and 568 hits for 「サステナビリティ」(all have slight differences among these Japanese katakanaexpressions, as of February 10, 2015). For a comprehensive search, you need to use a boolean operator like “①OR②OR③.”
You may think, “Such trivial inconveniences will be sorted out soon.” However, even if the inconveniences are sorted out, more will appear one after the other. Telling a graduate student who needs to complete an essay now that it “will be sorted out soon,” isn’t acceptable. The necessity of information literacy education, due to the nature of changing rapidly, is more urgent in terms of time than it was in the paper book era.
Searches, in terms of simplicity, are becoming reliant on individual sense. However, if access is to be denied because of a lack of sense, the strengths of a library will fall beyond the paper book era. The role of library staff is to systematically teach individual sense as a “skill” which anybody can do.
I am often told by some of my customers, “It takes me X hours to find by myself, but only 10 minutes if I ask you.” However, the unfortunate thing is that this is nothing to be proud of. I simpley know how to deal with Metadata, as a professional librarian.
Developing metadata is simple in theory, but for something that can hold up to professional use, you need a lot of training. Each library originally developed it, but now it uses the internet in a joint project and uploads to CiNii Books, so there is no longer a specialist in each library.
This has become a pitfall, and when the originally developed data has contained defects, there have been cases where it has gone undetected and downloaded nationwide.
One of “Ranganathan’s Five Laws of Library Science” states, “Save the time of the reader.” For example, when even 10 minutes are accumulated, they take up a huge amount of a researcher’s time. Libraries are aiming for information administration that can turn those 10 minutes into zero. When this is pushed aside by metadata development, time-saving will not progress.
I would like to touch upon selection of books. Masaru Sato joked that “The ultimate user-orientated library is the Tokyo Detention House Library.” Most of the books have been left behind by the “users” and consist of crime novels and porno magazines. Theology graduate Sato continued to entertain the guests by saying, “Being a correctional institution, I went there without the bible, assuming there would be one there, but there weren’t.” (The Japan Writer’s Association sponsored symposium “Are books really the enemy of public libraries?,” February 2, 2015)
When librarians have little awareness of book selection and only purchase books for the reasons of “that’s what the users want,” and “demand is high,” then they are likely to become like “detention house libraries”. University libraries are safe for now because researchers select books in line with their fields of research, but public libraries will attract relentless criticism when they purchase multiple copies of best-sellers and lend them out for free.
Teaching students information literacy and book selection are important roles of the librarian. However, as Figure 2 shows, there are an extremely low number of full time librarians. Of course quantity does not guarantee quality, but it is difficult to provide good quality when there aren’t numbers. Fortunately, our university doesn’t have this problem. However, as touched upon in the metadata section, in the current joint project over the internet, the danger of a mistake by one person affecting everything is high.
Information recording techniques changing to the virtual world is the trend of the times. However, by becoming virtual and creating a forest of knowledge equipped with the essentials for choosing from a vast amount of information, the mission of libraries must help users walk alone through that forest.
Hiro Arikawa’s 2006 hit Library Wars is a light novel about a library opposing censorship for “protecting the right to know.” However, I believe that the main purpose of the “right to know” today is instead becoming to help people drowning in the sea of information.
The information forest is also expanding interminably outside library walls, and the extension of highways linking information is also remarkable. Is it all right just to have our hands full in dealing with this?
Even in maintaining highways where people can properly obtain the necessary information they need, now is the time where librarians need to become book, information and literacy hubs. Whether the expertise of librarians is strengthened or abandoned will determine the near future of “library culture.” | <urn:uuid:9acca052-ed96-482c-83a5-d634c40e4c71> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://global.chuo-u.ac.jp/english/features/2015/03/6759/ | 2018-05-21T16:35:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864461.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521161639-20180521181639-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.948261 | 1,573 | [

Every summer, the UK deals with large swarms of flying ants. Although these swarms don't happen on exactly the same day across the whole country, they happen at the same time in significant enough numbers in widespread locations that people informally refer to "flying ant day".
What are flying ants?
Flying ants aren't a separate species from common garden ants, they're winged queens and males from an existing ant colony who will go off to form new colonies of their own.
Being able to fly means that they can travel some distance from their original colony, to reduce the chances of inbreeding and spread their population to new territories.
What is flying ant day?
Each summer, the flying ants undertake what's known as the "nuptial flight" - where the queens fly off in search of a mate and the males fly off to find a queen to fertilise.
The winged ants stay in the colony until weather conditions are perfect for flying and reproduction - dry, warm, not windy. When those conditions are met, the ants take flight. The perfect weather doesn't come along often, so when it does we have millions of flying ants taking advantage all at once - hence, flying ant day.
It usually happens in July or August and can be surprisingly disruptive, depending on the size of the swarm. Golf and cricket matches have actually been suspended due to flying ants making it impossible to pay, not to mention unpleasant.
How to deal with flying ant day
If staying indoors and just waiting for it to pass isn't an option, then avoiding being outside as much as possible is still your best bet. To prevent flying ants taking over your property during their nuptial flight, you need to tackle the ant nests that are present before it gets to summer.
Ant nest removal can be simple or complicated, depending on the size and location of the colony. You may need professional pest control if the nest is inside the building so that you can be sure the queen has been eradicated - if the queen remains alive, she can rebuild the colony.
Keep doors, windows, and other access points closed as much as possible, to avoid the ants flying into your home or office. If they do get in, there is a possibility that they might start a new nest within the walls, so a topical ant killer might be of use. The queens are larger than the flying males, so target those if you see them.
Is there anything good about flying ants?
On the positive side, flying ant day tends to only last for a day in each location, so it's not an ongoing situation. The ants will eat small insects and spiders during their flights, but they also provide a food source for many species of birds. | <urn:uuid:7786f3a1-ae6e-470a-9688-34d35dd32575> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://jpsenvironmental.co.uk/services/pest-control/ants/flying-ants | 2018-05-21T16:59:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864461.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521161639-20180521181639-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.964703 | 566 | [

Have you ever wanted to be a pop idol? This Anime How-to will show you how to record your voice over an off vocal karaoke track. All you need is Audacity, the audio file that you want to record over, and a microphone. You might also want some headphones if you don’t have a headset mic.
Audacity is a free, open source audio editor. You can get it here.
Open up Audacity, and within audacity, open your karaoke sound file. I’m assuming you got the sound file legally. Please don’t ask where to download the karaoke files. Audacity should look something like this:
Next, we’ll set up Audacity to play the background track while simultaneously recording. Click on Edit-> Preferences. On the “Audio I/O” tab, click the check box that says “Play other tracks while recording new one.”
Next, return to the main window of Audacity. You’ll now be able to hear the background track while recording the new one. You should wear headphones or a headset microphone so that the music doesn’t feed back into the microphone.
Once you’re finished recording the awesome karaoke, you’ll need to export the file. Click on File-> Export As MP3.
If this is the first time you’ve exported an MP3 in Audacity, it will ask you for the lame_enc.dll file. You can download it here. Just save it somewhere safe and point Audacity to the file.
Audacity will write the MP3 to a file, and you can share it with friends, family, whoever! You can even enter karaoke contests! Have fun! | <urn:uuid:e3b9d891-907b-449d-a1bc-68525fdc5dcf> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.basugasubakuhatsu.com/blog/anime-how-to/how-to-record-your-voice-over-a-karaoke-track/ | 2018-05-21T17:04:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864461.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521161639-20180521181639-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.902229 | 370 | [

Nazi Looted Picasso is the Subject of a Restitution Settlement Agreement
Nov 8, 2006
This painting was the subject of a restitution settlement between the possessor and the heirs of a Jewish art collector in Hamburg, Germany. The picture was traced to occupied Belgium and its then owner was deported to a concentration camp. Chris Marinello, acting on behalf of the heirs (pictured above in front of the painting) negotiated the confidential resolution with the attorney for the possessor. | <urn:uuid:deb4729c-c243-4a1f-bc0b-3edd73a5038a> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.artrecovery.com/pablo-picasso-nature-morte-au-tableau | 2018-05-21T16:40:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864461.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521161639-20180521181639-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.97354 | 95 | [

Just look at Mystery and his posse of pickup artists, a so-called “seduction community” that focuses on manipulating women to get dates. Despite any negative preconceived notions, what seduction really boils down to is intense attraction with a strong overtone of sexuality. Whether you want to seduce an older woman at a bar or woo a girl you see at the gym, it’s all the same tools.So let’s wipe away the dust and bring the vitality of seduction back into dating.Guys are often left shaking their heads in pure bewilderment when it comes to different aspects of their relationship.Their wives, girlfriends, or partners of some sort or another, just seem to constantly throw curveball after curveball at them, and their left wondering what to do.
In this iteration of the Divine Feminine you’re more likely to find a tenderwitch or a spacecrone and less likely to identify one based on appearance alone, but what has stayed consistent through time are its basic principles, symbols and rituals, as well as the guarantee that someone who aligns themselves with it are going to be super hot. Dating someone who identifies as a witch will probably ruin your life in terms of a bar being raised so high that in the aftermath it’ll be continually out of arm’s reach, but in the meantime I think you should go for it!I figure it’s high time someone put together a resource for men to gather some of the best advice on the planet in this subject.Look, we weren’t taught how to build and cultivate happy and healthy relationships in school, but it’s certainly not too late to learn how to develop these skills now! They consist of the very best relationship, dating, and lifestyle experts in the world; all of whom possess incredibly esteemed backgrounds and trackrecords of proven success.If you’ve ever wanted to learn the foundations for creating fulfilled relationships, check out these 62 tips from these 62 amazing experts!We all know there’s a difference between a woman being “insecure” vs being “aware”.We spend years going to grammar school and learning about math, science, history, and multitudes of other important topics, but we never really learn the most important one of all, relationships. | <urn:uuid:89782c5c-9f76-4af7-9562-c71282e61079> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://xuxp.cation74.ru/advice-dating-relationship-seduction-tip-335.html | 2018-05-22T17:16:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864837.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522170703-20180522190703-00194.warc.gz | en | 0.958716 | 479 | [

From PZ Myers, I found this painfully accurate review of Piers Anthony’s Spell for Chameleon. The author of the review, Jason Heller, is in the same position I was in a few years back: rereading some of the fiction he remembers fondly from his youth … and wondering just how much crack he had to be smoking to make this pile of misogyny seem appealing.
The examples of Bink’s misogyny are so numerous and so innocuously presented throughout Spell, it’s hard not to conflate them with Anthony’s own views. Patronizing potshots at women is what passes for wisdom in the book, as delivered through Anthony’s mouthpiece Bink. And every major character in the book, women included, reinforces it.
The namesake of the book, a woman named Chameleon, shifts continually between two poles: smart-but-ugly and pretty-but-dumb (and easy.) I just can’t imagine how that could be seen as misogynistic.
Heller goes on to talk about some of the unjustified pedophilic overtones of Antony’s other works. Honestly, this is small potatoes. Anthony’s works frequently feature rape, S&M, bizarre fetishes, bad science and bad psychology. Off the top of my head:
- His first book, Cthon, the main character commits rape and there is a race of alien women who are all extreme masochists.
- In Race Against Time, the protagonists discover that most of the human race has been mixed together, and that they are the last representatives of the distinct races. In the end they decide to abandon their other-ethnicity crushes and re-establish the races of their forefathers.
- In the Tarot series, one of the main characters is a gay Satanist. Yeah. That lasts until he has to have sex with a woman during a Black Mass and realizes he likes it. Anthony makes it clear in the text that homosexuality is a psychological condition. Oh, yes, and there’s more rape from the protagonist.
- And don’t get me started on his short stories. Somewhere out there is a psychology student writing an entire thesis on the Freudian implications of “In The Barn” (women-as-cattle) or “The Bridge” (sex with an 8 inch woman).
It’s hard to capture the light, matter-of-fact tone with which Anthony drops most of these. It makes everything go right over the head of the 14 year old reader, but it’s extra squicky for the adult.
Some years back I tried rereading all the classic science fiction that I raided from my mother’s collection when I was in high school. So much of it was misogynistic. Heinlein? Remember Number of the Beast, with a main female character who had breasts with more personality than she had. Asimov? He wrote the book on being a dirty old man. Literally.
There has to be classic science fiction that is better than this, but I can’t remember any. Does anybody remember any of the classic stuff that would pass the Bechdel test? | <urn:uuid:f06addc8-d25c-478d-9510-6ecc55fa297b> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.patheos.com/blogs/unreasonablefaith/2013/10/the-grand-dirty-old-men-of-science-fiction/ | 2018-05-25T17:06:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867140.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525160652-20180525180652-00514.warc.gz | en | 0.961212 | 668 | [

From Sexuality to Sensuality
There we were, my family, 11 anarchists cruising down to Ensenada for four days on the Viking Serenade, celebrating my mother’s 85th birthday. I roomed with the birthday girl in one of those cabins where you have to yell, “Watch out!” when you exit the lavatory.
When we returned, I drove my mother to Senior Summer School at UC Santa Barbara. Riding down in the elevator, after bringing her suitcases up to her dormitory room, I said, kiddingly: “In your room before 11 p.m., write home but don’t come home, and don’t tell me about your sex life.” My mother laughed like a teen-ager along with the other women who were on their way to the cafeteria.
I looked at these zesty women and thought that cuddling — the socially acceptable sex life for a senior — was on their short list of sexy things to do. They were free, finally, of all that bound them to the conventions of their youth, and they were freed by their age, not by reading Erica Jong.
So when my editor suggested that I write about sex from the older perspective rather than a column about the family cruise, I cringed. When I wrote about seniors for the Los Angeles Times, every so often I was tempted to write a piece about sex and seniors. “What’s to write?” I asked myself. “What could possibly be the difference between the senior class and the freshman?” There certainly were a lot of similarities: drug problems, body self-consciousness, feelings of inadequacy, hair problems. “Must I be trapped in the problem prism? Wasn’t anyone having fun in bed?”
Then I interviewed Harold Mitchell, married more than 50 years to the same woman. I met him at a conference at USC’s Andrus Gerontology Center. Harold had a passion for life. He would be considered seductive for any age. I told him so. He told me that he was still courting his wife. He said that though the intimacies may be fewer, they are no longer rushed for the sake of reaching orgasm. And that’s how the conversation went, and I wrote it, and the Times published it.
Harold is among the 40 percent of people 65 and older who are sexually active. He said that he felt relieved after all these years to be less oriented toward sexual performance and more attuned to sensuality. In fact, he said that he felt ever-youthful because of how much longer it took to attain satisfaction. “Isn’t that what we always wanted when we were younger?” he asked.
Was it? I’m glad somebody was conscious. I was too busy being promiscuous. I can’t even conceive of how I would have turned out if my mother were a hippie or if boys read “Iron John” instead of “The Amboy Dukes” while I read “Forever Amber” and “Tropic of Cancer.” I had to travel to Europe for my sexual rebellion.
Now, kids rent a video, stay home and try to avoid catching their tongue studs on a pillowcase. Love yourself. Do what feels good. Rebellion is a lot scarier when there are no rules to rebel against. So much for the children of parents who brought us the “sexual revolution.”
Those in my mother’s generation became adults when they were still children. Two wars, an economic depression, influenza and working at age 9 forced people to grow up quickly. Sex was reserved for husbands and wives. However, my Aunt Ruthie rebelled. She was a flapper and smoked cigarettes, studied ballet, and broke the chastity rules.
Every generation of American women redefines itself by the times it lives in and measures itself by the progress of the women who came before. Naomi Wolf, 35, author of “Promiscuities: The Secret Struggle for Womanhood,” for instance, came of age during the Reagan-Bush years. She is first generation feminist movement. That is why I don’t get it when she writes, “Men were deciding for us if we were women.” Men didn’t decide if we were women; quite the contrary, we decide if they are men — but only if we understand we have that power. Otherwise, we do a lot of pretending and whining.
Postscript: Last year, Richard Gunther called me after getting my name from the UCLA Center On Aging. He wanted to explore the lives of older men. Let’s make it interesting, I suggested. Let’s try to find out if men, such as Harold Mitchell, make a transition from sexuality to sensuality. Is it natural, or does it have to be learned? What is the effect of lowered testosterone on the male spirit? How do we define and fulfill desire past 65? Instead of “navigating sexual turmoil” (Jewish Journal headline, June 27), let’s explore the open seas in a lighthearted, joyful way. Is there anybody out there who’s not in turmoil? All responses will be protected for their confidentiality.

Throughout the football season, we previewed players for Orange fans to watch each week when SU took to the gridiron. With that season behind us, our focus, along with so many Syracuse fans has shifted to the hardwood where SU is already off to an impressive 6-0 start. The Orange has looked excellent in a number of areas throughout the first few games of the season, but it certainly hasn’t faced anything like it will this Saturday in the finale of the Hoophall Miami Invitational. #2 Kansas stands between SU and its seventh straight victory down in Miami on Saturday. Really, the level of talent that the Jayhawks have make their entire team players to watch, but let’s hone in a few that could make a gigantic impact this weekend. With that let’s hawk the Jayhawks and meet three KU players to watch on Saturday.
Devonte’ Graham (G, 6-2, 185)
One thing we’ve seen the past two seasons from the SU basketball team is just how important solid point guard play is for a team. Whether it be John Gillon’s showing last year or Frank Howard’s breakout performances so far this season, the way your point guard plays typically dictates how the team plays as a whole. For Kansas, senior point guard Devonte’ Graham is the man that runs the show. A third-year starter from Brewster Academy (yes, the same school that both Buddy Boeheim and Brendan Paul currently attend) Graham is a stellar talent that does just about everything well. The North Carolina native averages nearly 16 points a game and has done his scoring in a variety of ways. Not only does he shoot well from beyond the arc (36%), he also has a knack for getting the ball to the bucket. Graham is so quick that he can easily manipulate his way into the painted area and finish with both hands around the rim. Even when he can’t quite evade defenders, he does an excellent job of creating and absorbing contact to draw fouls and get easy buckets. The way he finishes near the rim becomes even more impressive when you look at his size. Based on his stature, you don’t expect him to be so dangerous in the paint, but he’s just that special a player. Scoring isn’t the only thing you should be looking for from Graham either. He’s also the best passer on the team and averages a team-leading 8.5 assists per game. With an incredibly high basketball IQ that allows him to make quick and educated decisions about whether to create his own shot or dish it off to a teammate, Graham is going to make an impact in this game. Last time out Graham poured in 35 points against Toledo. It’s up to Syracuse to try to limit that impact.
Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (G/F, 6-8, 205)
While Graham may be the most talented player on the Kansas roster, Svi Mykhailiuk (Muh-ky-luke) is probably the most dangerous. The Ukraine native leads the Jayhawks in scoring this season at an 18 point per game clip. Like Graham, Mykhailiuk is an incredible three-point shooter, but he’s even more lethal from beyond the arc. The senior guard/forward combo is shooting an astonishing 56% from deep. Keep in mind that that number is even better than his overall field goal percentage which still clocks in at an impressive 51% mark. While he’s known for being a sharpshooter, and rightly so, you can’t look past the rest of Mykhailiuk’s game. He’s fantastic in transition whether it be finishing or passing to an open teammate on the break. He’s got a deadly mid-range jumper that makes him a more well-rounded scorer and he takes great care of the rock and rarely turns the ball over. Essentially, Mykhailiuk does all the little things so well. He won’t blow you out of the water with incredible athleticism or bounce, but it is his versatility that makes him so dangerous. On a side note to that versatility, along with basketball and soccer, Mykhailiuk also lettered in PING-PONG in high school in Ukraine. Yeah, Mykhailiuk is pretty cool.
Udoka Azubuike (C, 7-0, 280)
Despite starting the young season, 6-0, there have been a couple of spots where SU has looked vulnerable so far this season. One of those spots is allowing points in the paint. Now, you may be thinking that that’s impossible because the 2-3 zone is designed to compact the painted area and take away easy looks at the bucket. Well, not so fast. When SU operates out of the 2-3 zone, the wings on the back end of the zone play slightly higher than the center. When the ball gets to the wings on offense, it becomes more of a 2-2-1 than a 2-3. Because of that the backdoor and baseline are often left wide open if SU’s opponents can get the ball there, typically by going through the center of the zone and attracting attention away from the basket and to the ball. Both Trayvon Reed for Texas Southern and Bruno Fernando for Maryland had field days with the backdoor of the 2-3 zone, putting up 12 and 13 points respectively and shooting a near-perfect 91% from the floor. Reed stands at 7-foot-2, 240 pounds, while Fernando goes 6-foot-10, 240 pounds and they were able to wreak havoc when they were on the floor. So imagine what a 7 foot, 280-pound behemoth can do to the Orange. Insert Udoka Azubuike, the Jayhawks second-leading scorer at an even 16 point per game. A former 5-star recruit, Azubuike was the 22nd ranked recruit in the class of 2016 but missed all but 11 games last year with a wrist injury. The Nigeria native is a force to be reckoned with and is an intimidating presence in the post where he most often uses his height and weight advantage to dominate smaller defenders. But don’t let that size fool you, he’s also got a couple of nifty post moves that make him even more dangerous on the offensive end. When combined, that size and skill are a ruthless combination that has led to an astounding 75% field goal percentage in the early stages of the season. He’s also a skilled shot blocker and defender who can clog up the lane and take away easy shots from the Orange. The only weakness apparent in Azubuike’s game lies in his free-throw shooting. Like many big men, the sophomore struggles from the charity stripe, converting on just 40% of his attempts so far in 2017. If SU wants to contend with Azubuike’s size and physicality, it may want to foul him early, often and hard to make him earn his share at the line. Otherwise, he is going to be serious matchup issue for the Orange. | <urn:uuid:c7a970e8-6a7b-48f1-aead-775c33fba439> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://orangefizz.net/2017/11/hawking-the-jayhawks-3-kansas-players-to-watch-on-saturday/ | 2018-05-21T20:51:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864544.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521200606-20180521220606-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.968698 | 1,482 | [

End of An Era
NZDF personnel man the red zone cordon
The New Zealand Defence Force’s Red Zone Cordon in Christchurch was officially lifted at a Civic Ceremony in Christchurch today.
The ceremony was attended by the Prime Minister, John Key, Minister of Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Gerry Brownlee, Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker, and the Chief of Defence Force, Lieutenant-General (LTGEN) Rhys Jones.
LTGEN Jones said, "The NZDF’s response to the tragedy which struck Christchurch on 22 February 2011 has been the biggest humanitarian assistance mission it has ever undertaken.
"At the height of our response nearly 1800 NZ Defence Force personnel – Regular, Reserve and civilian, and from all three Services – were directly involved on the ground, with more personnel providing support from camps and bases.
"Every one of those people, wherever they were in New Zealand, stepped forward and did here what they are trained to do anywhere – serve the people of New Zealand. I am enormously proud of them all.
"The Defence Force’s core values are courage, commitment, comradeship, and integrity, and they were to the fore in Christchurch. But we do not have a monopoly on these values - they have also been demonstrated daily by the citizens of this city," LTGEN Jones said.
"As a Defence Force we are proud of the contribution we have been able to make in Christchurch’s time of need, and we are happy that we could help. I thank the people of Christchurch for their support and friendship as we worked alongside them and I admire the courage they have shown in the face of such disaster.
"The cordon operation that ends today has been an ongoing aspect of our commitment. It has been staffed in the main by people from our Reserve Forces. These people are drawn from all over New Zealand, and they put aside their normal careers - and lives - for a while, to serve New Zealand as Reservists. I thank them for their selfless efforts on behalf of their fellow citizens.
"This is the end of an era for us and a milestone for Christchurch. The pace of renewal now moves up a gear. We wish this wonderful city the very best possible future."
For further information please call the Defence Communications Group on 021 487 980
Background - By the numbers
At the peak of the NZDF response on 2 March 2011:
1796 uniformed NZDF personnel, made up of 239 Navy, 1379 Army and 150 Air Force Regular Force and Territorial/Reserve personnel were directly involved on the ground in Christchurch. There were many more personnel working in support of the operation in Burnham, Wellington, Upper Hutt, Linton, Ohakea, Devonport and Whenuapai.
10 Royal New Zealand Air Force aircraft were employed during the initial response, including Boeing 757s, C-130 Hercules, Kingairs, Iroquois helicopters and P3-K Orions.
From 22 February to 3 March 2011, the C-130 and B757 aircraft moved a total of 4278 passengers and 268,894 lbs of freight and baggage (a combined total weight of 674,639 lbs).
Army catering staff produced more than 5000 meals per day for Police, Fire Service, search and rescue teams and military personnel.
77 Unimogs, 47 Pinzgauer Light Operational Vehicles (LOV), and 28 Light Armoured Vehicles (LAV) formed part of the response, with the Unimogs mostly used for the transportation of equipment and stores.
Four Royal New Zealand Navy ships, HMNZS CANTERBURY, HMNZS PUKAKI, HMNZS OTAGO and HMNZS RESOLUTION were involved. HMNZS CANTERBURY transported a total of 1707 tonnes of vehicles and equipment and 375 personnel in and out of Lyttelton.
129 Singapore Armed Forces personnel assisted NZDF personnel and the NZ Police on the cordon.
Two Singapore Armed Forces C-130 Hercules aircraft were based at Whenuapai and carried out taskings for freight and personnel movement.

You may have noticed a new page show up on the top menu bar yesterday called Writing Progress, which I’ve created to keep everyone up to date with all my writing projects. I’ve added this page for a couple of reasons:
- I’m a nerd and like charts
- I realize that there are some times when the blog is not updated, and I want to show that, even though there are no new posts, content is being prepared
- I was surfing blogs and found an example of this kind of page on Danie Ford’s blog, and found it pretty nifty
Since I use a methodology when I write, I’ve purposely added more detail to the larger projects, and also decided to use code names to identify them so as to keep some element of mystery . So if you’re ever wondering what I’m up to, or when a certain story post is finally going to be available, now all you have to do is check the Progress Page. | <urn:uuid:86612216-e992-4ad2-8251-3fbaf08e509c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://folaji.com/2010/01/08/new-progress-page/ | 2018-05-23T20:49:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865809.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523200115-20180523220115-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.9511 | 208 | [

How to Find the Best Freelance Writers
Look before you Leap
More than 15 million Americans are working as freelancers, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.That’s a large talent pool to tap into, but how do you find the actual talent? First and foremost, you need to know what you and your company need from your freelance writer.
Some helpful questions to ask yourself:
- What kind of article will your freelancer be writing?
You want your writer’s tone to match the tone of your company. A writer who’s great at Buzzfeed listicles may not nail the polished tone of Entrepreneur.
- Where will the article be published?
Know your audience. Not all readers have the patience to scroll through large chunks of text, while others might be annoyed by lots of gifs and graphics.
- What kind of writer do you want?
Do you need an expert in a particular area, or are you open to a novice writer with a style that speaks to you? Is it important that your writer stirs up conversation in their comments sections and has an avid online following? Or is popularity secondary to their way with words?
Think about these questions before diving into the talent pool, so you don’t waste valuable time and energy by casting too wide a net. Knowing what you need in a freelance writer will streamline your search and put you on the path to the best candidate for the job.
Once you know what you want out of your freelance writer, be they talented rookie or seasoned professional, you can deploy your hiring strategy. The internet makes it easy to connect with freelancers remotely - a simple Google search for “freelance writer” will get you thousands of results. But you don’t have time to wade through thousands of links - which will get you the best results? It depends on what you’re looking for.
Is there an article from an industry-related website or blog that you find yourself reading over and over again, or sending to colleagues and employees? Reach out to the writer directly to see if they’d be interested in freelance work. Most writers include their contact information in the bios, making reaching out to them just a click away.
If no articles come to mind, you can scan industry-related websites. The Forbes 8 Must-Read Publications for Entrepreneurs lists some excellent online publications that can jump-start your search for freelance writing talent. If you like their work already, that’s one less step in deciding whether they’re the best writer to hire.
Professional Networking Websites
There’s a reason LinkedIn calls itself the world’s largest professional network, simply because it is. An all-encompassing search technology and its reach across the globe, almost every freelance writer is guaranteed to have a profile on LinkedIn. The access to talent is incredible, although it takes a skilled recruiter to get quick results from the search engine. Though many potential recruits on LinkedIn are passive, if you’re looking for a freelancer they will most likely be ready to listen to your offer. Even if they can’t take on additional work at the moment, they’re likely to need it at some point.
Contently’s writers home page features big-name logos including The Wall Street Journal, Vanity Fair, and Popular Science under the slogan “The world’s largest premium writing network.” Contently allows users to look at the portfolios of respected writers across a multitude of content, spanning from reporting to white pages to social media and blog content. However, this platform won’t allow you to connect directly with freelance writers - instead Contently functions as a sort of virtual agent. You can use the platform to view writers’ portfolios, and will negotiate rates for your requested project. Their pay rates reflect their high-end talent, something to consider if you’re on a tight budget.
With nearly 2,000 freelancers, Ebyline promises to make up in quality what they lack in quantity, with “the right, vetted freelancer that suits your job and budget.” Though it may not offer the variety of other marketplaces, the website offers ease of use with “four simple steps to getting quality content” by directly connecting publishers with freelance writing talent. You post an assignment to the platform, and if a writer is interested, they can pitch to you. You select the writer you want based on the success of their pitch. The site features an easy-to-use interface that assists with interface between publisher and writer. You can test drive Ebyline’s services for one week for free.
Reddit For Hire allows freelancers to post that they’re looking for work, and managers to post job openings. The website allows publishers to narrow their searches by location - useful if you prefer to meet you freelancers face to face - and by profession - so you don’t have to wade through pages of designers and dog walkers to find the writers. But the search engine is basic compared to LinkedIn, and your access to information about the writers is more limited.
One thing to remember moving forward is that you often get what you pay for. Though going with the lowest bid may save you dollars on your budget line, finding the right freelance writer for your company can be worth the extra fee.
Once you’ve hired your freelance writers, you need an efficient way to manage and pay them. That’s where Bonsai comes in. This Freelance Management System make finding and connecting with freelance writers efficient and easy. Bonsai makes managing and paying your freelancers efficient and easy. | <urn:uuid:3c2294e2-98a0-4701-b4e2-884d8637cc2c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.hellobonsai.com/blog/how-to-find-the-best-freelance-writers | 2018-05-24T19:24:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866772.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524190036-20180524210036-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.934925 | 1,193 | [

Since it's been so snowy, we have been stuck inside for quite a while. Which means lots of time reading books.
Dawn took a picture of Summer and Buckeye to send to a loyal viewer and pet fanatic, Pat. Pat loves Buckeye and always tweets and asks how Summer is doing with Buckeye so I thought I would send him a special photo. Hope you enjoyed it Pat! (Notice Summer has a dog on her shirt and about 500 dogs on her pants)
We hit 47° for the high yesterday so the entire family went out for a walk to try to enjoy it before it gets cold again.
May need to do another walk today. These are the morning temps at 5AM today! Big difference from 2 days ago when wind chills were between -10° and -15°.
Mild with a lot of clouds for Friday ahead of rain for the afternoon
and evening. Rain showers to start the overnight then switching to some
light snow by Saturday. Colder and breezy for the weekend with some
light snow showers with little to no accumulation
expected. Temperatures become frigid for early next week.

is a former Ballroom
dancer who specialized in the American Style
as well as the Theater Arts. Bruno is a 13-time U.S. Theatrical Champion, 5-time World Theatrical Champion, and a 3-time Blackpool Exhibition
For thirty-one years, Bruno Collins
has touched every aspect of the dance business with his vision and innovation. He has been a driving force in the adaptation of dance curriculums, teaching methods, and business plans that have allowed this industry to stay current amidst the demands of a rapidly changing market. The incredible artistry of his choreography
has shaped the careers of numerous world-class Amateurs
. He has choreographed show numbers and showcases for top Professionals
across the country. Bruno's unique talents as a trainer, motivator, coach, and choreographer
have made him one of the most sought after individuals in the dance business to date.
A training class prompted Bruno Collins to begin dancing. He was 20 years old, living in the Midwest and everything was centered on factory jobs. He saw an ad for a training class and was drawn to the fact that he could start working later in the day. He answered the ad for the training class and thought that it would be fun to do, as you could dress up and stay out late. Then of course, Bruno started having a passion for the teaching and for the dancing.
"I went from being a pretty self-centered person to a sharing person. Everything I learned, to remember it, I had to pass it along. When I was getting coached as I was dancing professionally, I would turn around and pass it down to a student. It would help me to remember it. In turn, it kind of made me feel like I shared with people. To this day, if I leave a lesson without feeling like I have left something, then I don’t feel like I’ve gained anything. Dancing has taught me how to give and to share."
Life on the Dance Floor
When Bruno met his wife and partner LuAnn Pulliam
, he knew that it was the pivotal moment in his dancing career. He was from a training class and she was from the Joffrey Ballet of New York. They have been married for over 25 years and have three children.
Together, Bruno Collins and LuAnn are 13-time U.S. Theatrical Champions, 5-time World Theatrical Champions, 3-time Blackpool Exhibition Champions, U.S. American Rhythm Finalists and 5-time Fred Astaire American Rhythm Champions.
Bruno has performed around the world in top competitions and shows, as both a guest star performer and champion. In addition, he has been featured on PBS's Championship Ballroom Dancing, which took place at the Ohio Star Ball. The show was then changed to America's Ballroom Challenge.
Bruno says that his favorite dance is the Mambo.
"I think there’s a certain freedom to it. There’s a personality to each dance and Mambo
, I think has more of my personality. It’s a little looser, a little naughtier. I also placed highest in the Mambo
during competition, so Mambo
is probably my favorite."
International Championships 2000
At the International Championships
of 2000, an event known as the Duel of the Giants was held. Harry Zwahlen
and Romy Biedermann
of Switzerland went up against Bruno Collins and LuAnn Pulliam
of the U.S.A.
Harry and Romy danced first and presented a very sexy man-encounters-woman number in a style of a night club or an Argentinian Tango bar.
Then, Bruno and LuAnn came onto the floor and presented an American style exhibition work with lots of lifts and air work. It was very easy flowing and balletic.
For their second number, Harry and Romy came onto the floor both dressed as men and were dancing tango with plastic dummies dressed as their ladies. The "girls" turned out to be extremely flexible dancers performing amazing bends, flips, stretches and other unbelievable moves.
Bruno and LuAnn then took the floor again and danced a blues number, again with some very difficult lifts. During the dance, LuAnn's dress amazingly changed three times into different styles. It will remain a mystery how they did it. Bruno did not stay behind and also took his trousers off presenting his boxer shorts made of an American flag, which made the audience ecstatic.
Both teams received big ovations, but at the end, the American flag shorts had an edge and Bruno and LuAnn were declared winners of the match.
Life After Dance
Bruno was the longest running dance director at the Fred Astaire
Franchised Dance Studios. For 13 years, he directed all of the studios in the United States. He is also the Co-Owner of one of the top Fred Astaire
Studios in the country.
Bruno has been on the Board of Directors of the American Ballroom Company for over 15 years. He has also been the vice-president since 2005. The American Ballroom Company (ABC) organizes the annual United States Dance Championships (USDC).
Favorite Part of the Job
"The coaching is probably my favorite, and the choreography
, the creating. You get to create something for somebody that’s personal. You go 'Ah, I did that and it looked pretty good'. It usually doesn’t turn out anything like what you thought it would. That person puts their own personality on it. Seeing the teacher adapt to it and teach it to their student, that’s probably my favorite part." | <urn:uuid:8b73ef55-19be-4900-aba0-1d23b3626dcf> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.wikidancesport.com/wiki/8219/bruno-collins | 2018-05-26T19:37:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867859.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526190648-20180526210648-00554.warc.gz | en | 0.979991 | 1,186 | [

Our first market stall at Northern Regards was an absolute hit!! A whopping $1170.50 was raised!
The feeling we got from all our customers was one of goodwill and encouragement. I had a sense people were immensely pleased to have the opportunity to show support for an organisation really at the coalface of the terrible treatment of asylum seekers in this country. It was so wonderful to witness excited people consulting their friends as to which hand-embroidered protest badge they should choose to wear at the Palm Sunday rally the following week! I know the market on Sunday will feel just as heartening.
We will be pitching ourselves out the front of Chalice except in the case of inclement weather (don't you love that word, 'inclement', sounds so old fashioned), when the cosy church will be ours to shelter in with candles, warmth and handmade generosity.
Thank you Chalice for your generosity in providing the space for our community craftivism. It feels auspicious that The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre opened the doors to the new Home of Hope in Footscray (214-218 Nicholson Street) today!
Chalice also kindly hosted some workshops, where anyone who wished could come along and learn how to make items to sell at the stall. I took some pics at this morning's cosy affair! Lovely!
Oh, and there'll be live music provided by two charming young local musicians, Charm of Finches at 10.30am! x Jo

A situation in which a company (usually a vendor) with a sizable indirect-sales channel takes the lead in circumventing those partners, either by selling a new product direct or by embracing an alternative business model that reduces the channel’s sales role. Vendors in this scenario likely will face a rebellious legacy channel and aggressive competition from rivals looking to capitalize on the channel backlash.
In a broader business context, the first-mover disadvantage can be defined as the negative results of being a market pioneer. The disadvantages of being a first mover arise from several sources, including risk exposure, inertia, so-called “free-rider effects,” and shifts in technology and customer needs.

Making your own mouth gags can be an inexpensive and fun project to do with your willing partner. Instead of spending large amounts of money on store-bought gags, you can follow steps to make your own. You can find these supplies in most retail stores, or even around your own home.
Buy a long handkerchief from any retail store, or use one that you have in your home. Make one or two knots in the middle of the handkerchief. Put the knot into your partner’s mouth, and tie the handkerchief around their head.
Core a small apple. Run a small length of rope, clothesline or even yarn through the middle of the apple. Have your partner open their mouth, insert the apple halfway, and have them bite down. Tie the length of rope, etc., around their head.
Apply masking tape or duct tape loosely to your partner’s mouth. This technique will firmly gag them. Make sure that you very carefully remove this type of mouth gag, so as not to tear the skin.
Use any variety of clothing, such as a long sock, tie or scarf, to tie around your partners head and into their mouth. You can even make a mouth gag by stuffing these items loosely into their mouth, so that it can be quickly removed.
Buy a small to medium sized rubber ball in the children’s section of any store. Make sure it is big enough that it cannot be swallowed. Using a large needle, scissors or knife, poke a hole through the middle of it. Insert rope, clothesline or yarn through the hole to make your own mouth gag.
A belt can be easily used as a mouth gag by wrapping it around your partners head and into their mouth, buckling it behind their head.
Always make sure your partner can breathe. Always discuss the use of mouth gags with your partner before use. | <urn:uuid:42686a2a-c48d-43e1-a769-814f0eaf7427> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.ehow.co.uk/how_4442704_make-own-mouth-gags.html | 2018-05-27T21:57:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870470.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527205925-20180527225925-00234.warc.gz | en | 0.956187 | 390 | [

Sophie & Will’s Ballnatray Estate, Cork Ireland Wedding
I’ve being thinking of words that best describe Sophie & Will’s Cork Ireland Wedding. But before I do that, I will begin with a massive thank you to Amaris & Chad who made up the #mrts team (I came up with that name). It was an amazing four days of shooting at Ballynatray Estate on the outskirts of Cork and Waterford in Ireland. The guests at the wedding were so surprised that we had never worked together and that the three of us literally lived thousand miles from each other. We just flowed; knew where each other were in terms of taking shots, trusted and knew that each person would capture everything that was special on the day.
But it was more than us three, it was about the Sophie & Will and the rest of the wedding party over those days. From Day 1 to the last day, it was all about making us feel welcome. It was all about sharing in the joyous occasion whilst doing our job, and that is why I always say that it is probably the best job in the world for me. I just love working with couples, families and friends like this.
So what about the wedding day? Well, it started early and ended very late!! But not for one minute did I mind. My day started with the Groom and his Groom’s men at the Wood Cottage, where it was a pleasantly chilled and relaxed time. I would like to say that was the theme of the day, but I would be lying. This was calm before the storm, and in a good way. We laughed, we cried, we laughed some more and just generally had an incredible time. And I am just talking about the wedding day.
I will let the images tell the rest of the story…
Winter might not be coming, but this Bridal Shoot will get you in the mood for the new series of Game of Thrones
Depending on how much you are fan of Game of Thrones you have only have wait a few hours or just under 24 hours before watching the most anticipated new series of this thrilling TV Show. The HBO series has everything that makes it one of the best shows made for TV, in my mind and quite a few others, I believe.
So it was fitting that the very popular wedding blog, “Want That Wedding”, decided to share a Bridal shoot that I was honoured to plan and photographed last summer. I won’t go into too much details as Sonia Collett from Want That Wedding wrote up a great piece, and you can also read what Erin Balfour the styling co-ordinator & joint planner of this Bridal shoot and myself had to say about planning it.
Please click on the link, even if you are not a Game of Thrones fan, because you will love it. From the stunning dresses provided by Heart Aflutter Bridal, the amazing creative hair styling from Love Hair by Louise to the breathtaking cake from French made. All this set-up in the spectacular venue of Blackfriars in Gloucester.
Just a few images from the day, but more on the blog from Want That Wedding.

Joshua is an addict of human movement and is constantly challenging his body and mind with his practice. He was first introduced to yoga by friends he met while living in Hawaii who were acro yogis. Joshua became blown away by the variety of ways one can train their body to balance, move, and maintain control with another person as well as individually. After two years of a daily practice, he took the next step by completing his 200 hour teacher training so he could share his passion with others. Joshua’s classes allow the exploration of movement, breath, control, and fun in a variety of ways, with play at the center of everything. | <urn:uuid:711fed13-3de5-4507-b5af-60d3f5d7ba61> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://seattleyogalounge.com/joshua-altman/ | 2018-05-20T23:00:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863811.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20180520224904-20180521004904-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.993276 | 130 | [

Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 0.-A
special to the News from Dalton, Ga.,
tells of a scheme which will mean a
great deal for this section of the South.
Application has been made in the
courts of Whitfield, Ga., tor the incor
poration of the Tennessee, Georgia and
South ('andina railway, with a cap
italization of $,.1000,000. The following
are tho iucorpnrutors: W. H. Funk, J.
I). Cameron, H. N. Prink and ?, J.
LlayneB. of New York City; J. A.
Jones, G. W. McAfee, E. N. Butt. Wm.
M. Wilson, J. B. McKinney and Morrell
Skinner, of Blue Ridge, Ga. The pur
pose of the company is to build a rail
road from a point in Kaban county,
Georgia, passing through Towns,
Union and Faunin counties to Duck
town, in Tennessee; thenc via Ver
nen's station, in Whitfield county,
Georgia; llinggold, in Catoosa county,
Georgia, and through Walker county
Georgia, to Chattanooga.
This road will extend across the
northern portion of the Stateof Georgia
for a distance of uiore than a hundred
miles. It is understood that the road
will also be extended into the State of
South Carolina, and probably to the
sea. The road will be the means of
developing n section where there are
few railroads, including the Dticktown
district, which ia rich in copper and
iron ores. The principal office of tho
company will be in Blue Ridge, Ga.

The State Superintendent of Educa
tion is preparing a programme for Ar
bor dav for the schools of the State.
Arbor day is observed in South Caro
lina on tho third Friday in November,
and on that day the school pupils plant
shrubs, plants and trees in order that
their minds may be improssed with the
value of such things. In a few days
we will issue au address to the County
Superintendents of Education, calling
upon them to observe the day as far as
?inasible as provided foi in the school
aw, and we hope every school in An
derson County will observe it.
Sect iou 1212 of the code has the fol
lowing reference to the observance of
arbor day in this State: "Tho free pub
lic schools of this state shall observe
the third Friday in November of each
year as arbor day, and on thnt day the
school ofticern and teachers shall con
duct such exercises and engage in the
plautmg of such shrubs, plants and
trees us will impress on the minds of
the pupils the proper value and appre
ciation to be placed ou Howers, orna
mental shrubbery and shade trios."

I just finished reading Glenn Adamson’s (2007) Thinking through craft. I started reading it to find material for my thesis, and I ended up completely disappointed.
Yes, disappointed, but no, it was not a futile exercise, because it taught me two things.
First, Adamson has managed to show me the irrelevancy of the so-called avant garde; he has managed to show me that art criticism is essentially just the biased opinions of a few individuals completely disconnected from the non-art world and nothing more. And secondly, he has managed to make me “get” feminist art, at least in a way: According to how he described it, feminist art can totally be reframed in racial terms and still be completely valid. Art criticism, as Adamson has described it, is absurdly sexist and racially biased. And if Adamson has also managed to show it as irrelevant, I don’t feel sorry at all to be left out of an irrelevant discussion.
Adamson also shows a complete ignorance of basic design terminology or the realities of design. Perhaps that’s why he didn’t get “craft” (as Ric Grefé said during AIGA Pivot’s post-conference, we must not give up our craft, or we lose our specialness), and perhaps that’s also why all the other avant-garde high art critics also don’t get “craft”. They have no right to critique it, if their irrelevant babblings can even be called critique. | <urn:uuid:6d7ab580-40a5-4200-aa32-ebb7da8226eb> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://incd.ambroseli.ca/taxonomy/term/32 | 2018-05-22T23:22:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864999.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522225116-20180523005116-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.971055 | 329 | [

On 9 March 2010, Lianhe Zaobao (Singpore’s leading Chinese press) reported that Suntec Singapore had released a one-page statement and a 3-page FAQ in response to City Harvest’s announcement that it will be paying $310m to “co-own” Suntec Convention Centre.

In general, the weather is still quite moody and un-summery, but we had two fine days last week. The sun was shining, the heavy showers had retreated and there was only a steady breeze out there. On Thursday a mate and myself took the dinghy out and drift-fished around the Tryphena area. It was a bit too quiet for us, but I managed to land one 40 cm snapper. On Friday, J1 and myself hopped onto the Spirit of Breaker Bay and went for a casual sail. Continue reading Great Barrier Island Sailing
Sitting in front of my laptop and trying to put the last 5 days into words. Where to begin and how to describe the events, emotions, encounters and those moments when you can step aside and look at yourself and at what you are doing from another perspective; these are the questions in my mind at the moment. Perhaps I just start at the beginning. | <urn:uuid:5dfa4580-5289-43ca-ba37-3b1827bc0e5c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.benisland.co.nz/index.php/category/all/adventure/sailing/ | 2018-05-22T23:46:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864999.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522225116-20180523005116-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.97748 | 190 | [

“The most confused you will ever get is when you try to convince your heart and spirit of something your mind knows is a lie.” – Shannon L. Alder
The only ‘complaint’ I had (I use this word deliberately with the definition of ‘expressing displeasure or unhappiness’) was my inability to satisfy Hubby’s libido. I found myself reaching way past my comfort zones in an effort to be creative and imaginative when it came to our sex life. I tried creating some outrageous fantasies that sounded at least a tiny bit believable to my brain… it was the only way that I could be convincing. My definition of fantasy is something that is ‘imaginary’ – it exists in a world outside the realm of reality – and belongs there. Fantasizing felt somewhat safe assuming it fit that definition and I allowed myself to wander the spectrum of sexuality. Some things were tantalizing…
It wasn’t yet a ‘thing’ to openly discuss casual girl on girl encounters and yet they were quite common in every porn flick we ever watched. I admit to some broad curiosity but I took the ‘fantasy’ to a new level and vocalized it in detail on an occasion or two. You would think that I had insisted on manifesting an experience by the enthusiastic response it spawned. For weeks, I fielded questions about how I would go about making it happen and/or did I know of someone that I was attracted to. I easily became frustrated with the questions as it was all imaginary in my mind and should have stayed that way. The frustration grew to disgust with the vigor of interest from Hubby and the relentless prodding for more details; it felt like an interrogation. I became sorry I ever went down that road.
It seemed that Hubby was particularly interested in creating encounters with ‘others’. One evening while entertaining at home, a gentleman approached me and made the comment [modified to reduce crudeness] “I’m told you have great body parts”. I almost dropped my drink and looked at him with a dumbstruck expression, unable to formulate sound. “I’d love to see for myself”, he smiled. I was nauseated. The room grew hot and black. I wanted to run but couldn’t see where to go, I didn’t know how to get away. I was pregnant for christ’s sake! So many thoughts were spinning around in my mind and nothing stopped long enough for me to have clarity. I turned away and left the room with nothing more than a grunted sigh.
I found Hubby and asked him what the F*** he had said to that man. He told me and laughed. He was drinking. He had been consuming a lot of alcohol lately. There was no reasoning or arguing with him as long as the beer was in control. I left everyone and everything and went to bed. I wanted to lock the door – part of me didn’t trust anything or anyone in that house that night. I didn’t sleep, rather I laid there and thought about all the times things that had gone down like this. All the times that I had failed to satisfy Hubby, his needs, his desires. It’s as if they were inexhaustible, limitless. How did I work with this? I was profoundly embarrassed to be approached by some random guy who had intimate knowledge about my body. It felt like an immense violation of my privacy, of our love, of respect. My nerves were on fire as I imagined the confrontation this was going to produce.
When I was finally able to address the situation, I was faced with comments that completely invalidated everything I was feeling. “What’s the big deal” he asked. “I was complimenting you”, he said. “I’m proud of my wife”, he boasted. I didn’t feel heard, or validated, or valued. I felt cheap and trashy. There was something about my feelings that implied they were small and inconsequential. The ‘proud’ and ‘compliment’ words were louder and more attention grabbing than my feelings. There was a shift in my spirit that adjusted Hubby’s words to have more value than my emotions. I didn’t notice it then – it just happened. His language unzipped some nefarious part of me that needed ‘proud’ and ‘compliment’ more than I needed self-respect and dignity. Those attributes became microscopic and cold in my soul. They could not cohabitate in the world in which I was living.
I didn’t know what to do with this event. In my mind it spoke poorly of my husband so I didn’t want to tell anyone. On some level I was ashamed of my reaction – or complete lack of one – but it was predominately sub-conscious. I convinced myself that it was actually a complimentary incident and used it as evidence that the man I married really loved me. I may have told Michele and Dee some version of what had transpired but I’m pretty sure it was presented in a positive light, without disparaging commentary. I kept the rest to myself.
My mom had become one of my best friends. We talked almost daily for a minute or two and she spent extended time with us when she was able – mostly on the way to or from her parents’ home as they were aging and mom dedicated a ton of time to them – a whole summer at a time. It was mom who first brought to my attention the amount of beer Hubby consumed on a regular basis. She spent a week at a time with us and was known for her observational abilities. He had always been a drinker; we both were. I however, did not enjoy being drunk. Ever since my 25th birthday and the probable alcohol poisoning I experienced that week, I monitored myself pretty well. Not to say that I haven’t overindulged since then, it just wasn’t with any regularity. I guess I had become accustomed to Hubby’s consumption patterns. He was never loud or obnoxious when intoxicated, in fact he became loving and gentle; quite vulnerable actually – a trait I coveted with him. I started keeping tabs on how much beer disappeared and with what regularity.
Spring came and found us rearranging sleeping quarters to prepare a nursery for baby #4. We spent time with Dee, Tom and all the kids, picnicking, dinners, and game nights. We came home from an amusement park one day – all of us but in two cars – with plans to gather again for dinner. Hubby asked me to call Dee and tell her to “bring all the leftover beer” when they come over. He didn’t ask me to ASK her – I heard him say TELL her. It stirred my insides. I wasn’t comfortable ‘telling’ her to do us a favor. They came – she brought the beer. I was seven months pregnant so I wasn’t drinking but beer was flowing otherwise. The four of us sat outside on the patio, gathered around the table that I had spray painted green earlier in preparation for summer, and the kids played in the yard. We had eaten and we were now simply enjoying the great late spring twilight. It was a relaxed evening, one of hundreds we had experienced throughout the years and I was having fun. I was sitting in a chair against the house so that my vantage point was the whole patio and yard beyond. During a spirited string of conversation, I glanced down – below the surface of the table – and observed quite accidentally, Hubby’s foot rubbing the length of Dee’s leg.

EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini says the attacks in Paris give urgency to a meeting in Vienna of top officials from 20 countries and world bodies seeking solutions to the war in Syria.
In comments to the media just before the meeting began November 14, she called terrorism a global problem.
"The countries sitting around the table [in Vienna] have almost all experienced the same pain, the same terror, the same shock over the last weeks," she said.
Coordinated attacks in Paris on November 13 left 127 dead, a day after twin bombings in Beirut left 44 dead, and nearly two weeks after the downing of a Russian jet in Egypt killed all 224 on board.
French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said ahead of the Vienna meeting that the Paris attacks showed the need to strengthen the fight against Islamic State (IS) terrorists.
He said it is "more necessary than ever" to coordinate the antiterror fight and vowed no stop to French "international action."
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said that the attacks will "stiffen our resolve, all of us, to fight back."
"If they've done anything, they've encouraged us today to do even harder work to make progress and to help resolve the crises that we face," he said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in Vienna that the Paris attacks "justify" the need to combat the Islamic State and Al-Nusra extremist groups.
Diplomats had modest expectations for the latest round of the Syrian peace talks in Vienna, which group top negotiators from Russia, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
"There are a number of difficult issues, of which the future of [Syrian President] Bashar al-Assad is probably the most difficult, and that will certainly be an important subject tomorrow," British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said after meeting his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shukri on November 13.
Hammond echoed the assessment by Kerry, who said earlier that Assad's fate remains a major sticking point between the West and Gulf Arab states -- which want to see Assad step down -- and Assad allies Russia and Iran.
Kerry warned that a quick breakthrough was unlikely in the talks.
"I cannot say...that we are on the threshold of a comprehensive agreement," said Kerry, who arrived in the Austrian capital on November 13 for talks with his Saudi, Turkish, and UN counterparts.
"The walls of mistrust within Syria, within the region, within the international community are thick and they are high," he said. | <urn:uuid:621d3c8e-442f-4d9f-8b1f-4e14961d1fb0> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.rferl.org/a/mogherini-says-paris-attacks-give-vienna-talks-urgency/27365207.html | 2018-05-23T22:54:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865830.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523215608-20180523235608-00594.warc.gz | en | 0.963351 | 516 | [

Yes, the BlackBerry is still a thing, wisenheimer. Online speculation has been swirling for months that a new BlackBerry, called the Key2, was set to be announced. Now, the company has confirmed the device's existence by sending out invitations for a June 7 launch event in New York City, where the Key2 is specifically mentioned.
Photo: Tech Times
Following on from last year's KeyOne, it's thought the latest Blackberry will have a dual-lens camera, and of course, that physical keyboard that is so intrinsically linked to the brand's image.
The invitation apparently includes the tag "an icon reborn", so don't be entirely surprised if the Key 2 is somewhat nostalgic in design, at least compared to most modern smartphones. Could we see a return to a design similar to that of 2014's BlackBerry Classic?
To be honest, I'd gladly take a Key 2 right around now, or really, any phone, to be frank. I 'might' have lost my mobile on Friday night. Alcoholic beverages may or may not have been involved. | <urn:uuid:ca432bb3-51a2-485c-8c61-bd3270d62356> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2018/05/the-new-blackberry-will-be-revealed-in-june/ | 2018-05-24T23:40:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866894.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524224941-20180525004941-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.959896 | 220 | [

Lacking inspiration to write. This “everything is going well” phase may be boring to look at from the outside. Oh, another beautiful meal. Another fabulous friend. Another stunning piece of architecture. Yawn.
That moment when, after making fun of vapid narcissistic eighties consumerism the last few days, I look at my social media, and it’s too close for comfort. No, nothing alike – there’s a zillion degrees of difference between yuppies and hipsters 😆
I might have to go to my Blog Of Woe to get some conflict, some drama hahaha.

On Pasquetta, I decided to have a good walk with my yorkie terrier at one beautiful and huge park in the city of Monza, which is around 10 to 15 minutes train from Milan. It’s known as Parco di Monza in its Italian name and it has large green area where people could enjoy relaxing walk, doing picnic and even having fun with their dogs on beautiful sunny days, as I did with my yorkshire terrier BEI.
On Pasquetta day, I found there were so many people coming there just to spend the day at the park on beautiful day, to do picnic with family and friends, to ride bicycle and I also found so many dog owners like me going there just to have fun and make their dogs have a fun time on the grass.
Not only the beautiful green park, Parco di Monza also has beautiful pond where there are turtles who live in the pond as you can see below. I personally always adore turtles. To me they are cute and magical creatures (animals) that can even live longer than us, humans.
Parco di Monza is also famous as the site for doing car race inside the park, e.g. the Formula 1. Inside, they have the area for this sport named Autodromo Nazionale di Monza. Parco di Monza is widely known as the fourth biggest park in Europe.
Pasquetta in 2015 was my second time at Parco di Monza. The first time I went there was exactly on Easter in 2012 during my first year in Italy. However, of course at the first time, I didn’t have BEI yet, so as one of dog lovers, the second felt better 😀
And you? Do you also love spending beautiful day on beautiful park (maybe with your beautiful dogs)?
To answer first, I surely love it! | <urn:uuid:4f4c80cb-22e0-4f07-bfa6-4351dec75cf3> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://wihardja.org/2015/04/07/having-a-relaxing-walk-at-parco-di-monza/ | 2018-05-24T23:07:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866894.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524224941-20180525004941-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.983158 | 389 | [

President Donald Trump fired off a barrage of angry tweets early Sunday morning, directing much of his ire at the the former head of the FBI, whom he called "the WORST FBI Director in history, by far!"
President Donald Trump's decision to fire former Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey in May 2017 was later described as perhaps the "biggest mistake in modern political history" by Mr Trump's then advisor Steve Bannon.
In an interview with ABC News that aired Sunday night, the fired Federal Bureau of Investigation chief says he could not discount the possibility that Russian Federation might have something on the president.
Excerpts from Comey's book paint Trump as someone who is "unethical, and untethered to truth and institutional values", according to ABC.
Trump fired Comey in May 2017 and said Sunday that he "never asked Comey for Personal Loyalty".More news: OnePlus 6 Rumors Bring Our Attention To New Features
Comey's remarks are the latest salvo in a war of words with Trump, who excoriated the former Federal Bureau of Investigation director on Twitter earlier in the day, again calling him a "slimeball" and suggesting he should be jailed.
Comey re-openened the Hillary Clinton email investigation just days before the election, which many believe cost her the White House.
Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch is defending her actions in the Hillary Clinton email investigation following criticism from former FBI Director James Comey.
Trump accused Comey, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and others in the bureau of committing crimes by finding no evidence of criminal wrongdoing on Clinton's part.
He also appeared to cite Comey's testimony before Congress past year, in which he told Senator Chuck Grassley, a Republican of Iowa, that he had never been an anonymous source to the press nor had he authorized someone else to do the same.
Comey's morality-based contempt for Trump appears so strong that he wondered aloud, in the interview: "Where are we as a country?"More news: Salah wants to break Liverpool record!
Trump and his aides have countered Comey's media blitz by attacking his handling of the probe into Clinton's emails.
The President denies those claims.
The insult slinging has officially begun, and neither Trump nor Comey minced their words.
And so it was Monday, when Conway appeared on New Day to discuss the blockbuster James Comey interview with Cuomo.
"We had the problem that President Obama had twice publicly basically said, "There's no there, there" in an interview with- on Fox, an interview on 60 Minutes I think, both times he said that", Comey said.
"It is stunning and I wish I wasn't saying it, but it's just - it's the truth", he said, but added, "It always struck me and still strikes me as unlikely". Mueller's probe has expanded to include whether Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey.More news: Bella Hadid and The Weeknd kissing at Coachella
"I (would have) been able to say with high confidence about any other President I dealt with, but I can't". He's on a press tour to promote his new book, "A Higher Loyalty", and he's stated that he believes Trump is morally unfit to lead the nation. | <urn:uuid:3d915fa3-0a21-4def-b26d-12810d97f6bf> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://alhubeco.com/2018/04/16/trump-slams-comey-he-committed-many-crimes/ | 2018-05-25T22:34:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867220.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525215613-20180525235613-00594.warc.gz | en | 0.975376 | 666 | [

This study compares the results obtained of video-assisted sympathectomy performed on two distinct ganglion levels (third vs. fourth thoracic ganglion) in the treatment of palmar hyperhidrosis (PH), through a blind randomized clinical trial. All participants were randomized into two groups of 20 patients (G3 and G4) and underwent the operation, and were followed for 12 months. We used an objective method for measuring sweat, checking the transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and evaluated the quality-of-life (QoL) before and after the operation. All patients (n=40) ceased suffering from PH after surgery, with statistical difference when we compared the values of TEWL palmar preoperatively with their respective values at one week, one month, six months and 12 months. The main side effect observed was compensatory hyperhidrosis (CH), which was most frequent in G3 after 12 months of follow-up. There was an improvement in QoL since the first evaluation of the postoperative period with no difference between groups. Both techniques were effective in the treatment of PH, generating objective reduction of TEWL regardless of the ganglion operated. Sympathectomy G3 had a higher incidence of CH, yet the improvement in QoL was similar in both groups. | <urn:uuid:b3335b88-3a9d-4441-b7b5-99b37dab81a8> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.mysciencework.com/publication/show/objective-evaluation-patients-palmar-hyperhidrosis-submitted-two-levels-sympathectomy-t3-t4-0d784d64 | 2018-05-25T22:04:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867220.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525215613-20180525235613-00594.warc.gz | en | 0.9595 | 276 | [

that they will come to the Sirens. The Sirens enchant all who come near them. Next the crew will come upon two rock,
that are one of many obstacle in
their journey. No ship that ever came upon the rocks has made it past them, but one. the one and only ship that ever made it through was the famous Argo Of these two rocks one reaches heaven, its peak is yet lost in the clouds of the sky. Then crew will them come to the
Thrinacian Island. This is the journey the crew
will be taking from Aeaern Island. One of their obstacles is to get by Scylla. She is not a mortal, however she is savage, extreme, rude, cruel, and invincible. The only way that seems possible, is to get by
her as fast as you can, or there is no chance. "You will now come to the Thrinacian Island." Here you will come upon many herds of cattle and flock of sheep. These animals all belonging to the sun-god. Their journey began the next moning,
to reach home. They were well on their way and thought
they could make it by the Sirens,
but when the Sirens saw them,
they began to sing very loudly. The crew then entered the Straits in great fear of mind because they would have to face Scylla. Scylla came and took six of Odyseeus best men. The last words from his crews mouths were the pleeds of his name. The Crew was warned not to eat the sun cows. But when they were told to they were also told to pray and worship what they have, and what they get to eat. All of the men were thrown into the ocean, but Odysess was taken to Ogygian Island. He was saved by Calypso, great and powerful goddess. Book 1 Poseidon is angry because Odysess killed his son. Now Poseidon wants to get revenge on him. In spite of his anger he trapped
Odysess on Ogygia Island. Athene goes to talk to Poseidons son,Telemachus.
Athene later kills the suitors. After Athene talks to Telemachus,
he goes on a jounery to Sparta. BOOK IX Odysseus and his men were on their way home when a strong wind drove them to Polyphemus' island. There they were forced to search for food or had to starv. They searched the land for hope to find food, they found many sheep but kept searching for something better. Once they came upon a cave they went in and found some cheese. They thought they would be welcome to the cave, but when they realized it was not a humans home, they got a little nervous. The Cyclops was very upset that they ate his cheese. He ate a few of the men to "get back at him" then he set the rest free. Book XX1 The contest with
Odysseus Bow In Ithica there is a challange of who can shoot a bow through the iron. Many people tried to take on this task for a reward or the hand of Penelope. Not one person accomplished the challenge, except for the great Odysseus. In the end Odysseus and his son Telemachus, who stood strong and proud on his side at the dinner. But its wasn't over yet, they had a suitor massacure. Analysis The Call
The Return Invitation to adventure This explains and introduces us to the characters and Telemachus is sent to Sparta to see if his dad is still alive and coming home. the "jumping off point" THe crew was forceed to end the cyclops home in order to survive, and they had to blind the Cyclops. Challenges They had to face many obstacles in order to return home from their adventure, some of the obstacles were Scylla, the Sirens, and Thrinacian Island. The Return is all about how Telemachus and his father are reunited and will defeat all of the suitors together and at once. Comparison The book and move are linked in relationship because of how they are both layed out. The group has to overcome many obstacle before returning home. Everett, Delmar, and Pete had to face many of the same challenges as happened in the book. In relation of book nine, the man had to face the Sirens. Same goes for facing the "Cyclops" In the end as shown in book tewnty-one the family is then back together. As are Everett and his girls in the movie. To Sum it Up:
The Summary Many far long adventures have happend from book one to twenty-one. From Posiden getting mad and sending the crew to an island by waves, to having to face all the inturruptions on their way home. These are a few they had to face:
Cyclope- the cyclops trapped them in his cave and some how they had to escape
Sylaca- A six headed beast who kidnapped and ate six of his men
Whirlpool- The Charbreads whirlpool spit out and sucking in the water three times a day.
Sirens- Odysess tied himself to the mass and everyone else had to plug their ears so they wouldnt get sucked in and crash into the rocks.
Sun gods cows- Odysess crew ate the cows and for a punishment Zeus struck them with a lightnignt bolt.
When he returend home thier were a ton of suitors and he had to win a contast by shooting an arrow through twelve axes or targets. After he won Odysess and his some killed all of the suitors. Works Cited

"The Fourth Industrial Revolution is not just happening, we can shape it in a positive way or we may miss the opportunity and thus the Fourth Industrial Revolution will shape us," said Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum as he began his dialogue session at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY School) at NUS on 5 July.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is commonly associated with the convergence of the physical, biological and digital spheres, blurring the distinct lines between each. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), genetic engineering, and autonomous vehicles that enable the interaction between human and technology are some examples of this ongoing revolution.
Moderated by Dean and Professor in the Practice of Public Policy at LKY School, Professor Kishore Mahbubani, the dialogue session was themed “Leadership in the Fourth Industrial Revolution" and discussed the possible impacts, as well as strategies to successfully adapt in this climate.
The speed of change and rapid rise of technologies that are characteristic features of this current revolution may be hard for the governments of today to grapple with, Prof Schwab said.
“We have a technology before us which takes place outside the normal government norms and capabilities to create the necessary framework to harness them. With the speed of those technologies, you cannot create rules or laws in the old-fashioned way, you have to create a platform where you always update protocols,” he said. He added that the Forum founded the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution to facilitate that development of principles and frameworks to address this governance gap.
Prof Schwab also spoke of the rise of AI and robotics and its potential to cause alarm in the population. While he conceded that he cannot state definitively what the impact will be, he opined that society should remain alert. He pointed out another more intrinsic impact; one that affects the psychological state of the people.
“It creates a new class of society who are not sure if at any moment they will lose their jobs,” Prof Schwab explained. The political implications of this fear can already be seen, he added, giving an example of the voter characteristics of the recent American elections.
Questions came hard and fast from the audience keen to pick the brain of the eminent speaker, whose insight on the Fourth Industrial Revolution has led him to author a bestselling book on the phenomenon. Topics covered included the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution on the areas of culture, financial systems and healthcare, as well as the kind of uncertainties that may arise.
Ultimately, there is a need for leaders to be open to the influx of drastic changes. “Today’s dividing line is no longer left and right. The dividing line is to be open for change and open to the world, or to close down,” Prof Schwab concluded.
On 6 July, Prof Schwab was conferred the Honorary Doctor of Letters at NUS' main commencement ceremony, in honour of his outstanding and transformative leadership, and significant contributions to Singapore and the world. | <urn:uuid:6db3d75d-f933-48d8-8d36-4bea238110d4> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://news.nus.edu.sg/highlights/shaping-fourth-industrial-revolution | 2018-05-27T23:21:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870497.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527225404-20180528005404-00594.warc.gz | en | 0.95011 | 617 | [

Washington: Apple has introduced a new app called One Handed Keyboard that allows iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users to type with one hand making it easier to handle the bigger screens.
Now, iOS 8 allows users to type conveniently with one hand on the new iPhones, reported CNET.
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus' bigger screens make it difficult for people to type with one hand in many situations.
The newly introduced app displays the same size of keyboard iPhone users had grown accustomed to over the years.
However, the app does not provide an auto-correct library to the users which means that whatever they type would be displayed as it is. | <urn:uuid:3799c0c7-2684-421c-8961-5ba7c112df41> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://zeenews.india.com/news/sci-tech/apple-unveils-new-app-offering-easy-one-handed-typing-on-new-iphones_1483509.html | 2018-05-28T00:31:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870497.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527225404-20180528005404-00594.warc.gz | en | 0.943538 | 131 | [

Our line of synthetic roofing underlayments are engineered by combining the technology of high quality, non-woven materials with synthetic cross-woven polypropylene to create a premium product. The cross-woven polypropylene provides high-strength in both directions, creating an overall stronger material than the competition. Synthetic underlayment can also provide an essential layer of protection beneath the roofing material, acting as a secondary barrier to moisture that otherwise may absorb into the sheathing. Whether you are designing, specifying or installing, we have an underlayment to help you get the job done right.
Our Ensure Quad-Flex underlayment replaces traditional synthetic underlayment. The high quality 8 x 8 cross woven polypropylene material provides strength and walkability, creating a safer working environment.
Our Ensure Hi-Tac underlayment is enhanced with a backside high-tac coating for a higher performing underlayment with superior walkability, even on steeper roof pitches.
Our Ensure Pro-Plus underlayment provides maximum strength and traction. The thicker material and increased tensile strength are ideal for higher-end applications, such as metal roofs.

Junction. I will say here that it was the Fourth and Sixteenth Pennsylvania cavalry regiments that destroyed the station, our brigade being in advance that day. It was our intention to go to Hanover Junction and destroy the station also, but for obvious reasons we changed our course and struck directly for Richmond. I will not take time nor space to describe all the incidents along the route; suffice it to say that we burnt another station on the Fredericksburgh and Richmond Railroad. On Tuesday, at noon, we passed within the first line of fortifications around Richmond. We took up a position near Old Church, threw out our skirmishers, and opened a brisk artillery fire on them of two hours duration. We lost one officer — a captain — killed. We now directed our course toward White House, but halted for the night at Bidnella Cross-Roads — threw out our pickets, and in a drenching rain, lay down to get a few hours' sleep, of which we all stood very much in need; but fate ordained it otherwise. General Kilpatrick had set his heart upon taking Richmond, and for that purpose he detailed Major Taylor with four hundred men of his (Taylor's) command, consisting of First Maine, Fourth Pennsylvania, and Sixteenth Pennsylvania, who were to lead the advance, and all the rest were to follow in due time. The preliminaries were all arranged and the enterprise ready to be carried into execution, when we were attacked. This, of course, knocked the project on the head, and it had to be abandoned. The night was awful dark. The rebs came down upon us with a yell that made us think of Pandemonium; but we soon got our lines formed and advanced upon them, when they hastily fell back, not, however, until they had killed the Lieutenant-Colonel of the Sixth Michigan, and captured about two hundred of the men of that regiment. We now directed our course in such a manner as to strike the Pamunkey about eight miles above White House. The next morning it was ascertained that the rebs were following us up. About ten o'clock we formed a line of battle. Two squadrons of the First Maine were deployed as skirmishers, the remaining two squadrons and the Fourth and Sixteenth Pennsylvania were drawn up for a charge. In about ten minutes our skirmishers attacked them, and almost immediately after, the devils saw our colors and came down toward us on a charge. Captain Cole, of the First Maine, was ordered to meet the charge, which he did in gallant style, completely routing them, and driving them like sheep before him. In this charge the rebs lost five killed and quite a number wounded and captured. We only sustained a loss of two captured from the First Maine. Our advance party of five hundred had not formed a junction with us yet, and we began to have some apprehension for their safety. We now pushed on for the Pamunkey, about four miles distant--the rebels had gotten all they wanted from us, and molested us no further. Our whole force now succeeded in crossing a branch of the Pamunkey. Lieutenant Grant, of the Fourth Pennsylvania cavalry, was in command of the skirmish-line. Just as they were in the act of crossing, they discovered a body of troops coming toward them. They were dressed in blue, and it was soon discovered that they were friends. Upon coming up they proved to be our advance party; there were only about three hundred left — they were surrounded at Frederickshall, lost all their field-officers, and about two hundred men, the remainder cutting their way through. The next day we were reenforced by three regiments of cavalry and a “nigger” brigade of infantry, from Williamsburgh; but we were completely worn out, as well as our horses; we needed rest, so the column was headed for Yorktown, which place was reached without any note-worthy incident. Our appearance created the utmost consternation wherever we went: had a thunderbolt fallen in amongst them, they could not have been more astonished. than to see a Yankee column galloping along with perfect impunity, so near Richmond. On the whole, I can't say that I regret the trip; but if we had known that we were coming on this raid we might have made some different arrangements about clothing and rations. Your sincere friend,T. W. B.
Rebel reports and Narratives.
Richmond, March 1, 1864.Yesterday afternoon intelligence reached the city that a heavy column of Yankees had made their appearance in the neighborhood of Frederickshall, on the Virginia Central Railroad, fifty miles from Richmond. The statement was somewhat startling, because of the known fact that the greater portion of the reserve artillery of the army of Northern Virginia was quartered at that point, and without an adequate force for its protection. Later in the afternoon, the report reached the city that the whole of the artillery, amounting to some eighty pieces, had been captured; but this, in turn, was contradicted by a statement that the enemy did not go to Frederickshall, but struck the railroad some two miles south of that point, where they tore up a portion of the railroad track. After inflicting this damage on the road, they left, taking a southerly direction. We are inclined to think, from all the information we can gather in relation to the affair, that this latter statement is, in the main, correct. The raid is no doubt intended to interrupt communication between General Lee's army and Richmond, but it is hoped that, like Stoneman's raid last spring, it may prove a failure. Passengers by the Fredericksburgh train, last night, state that the Yankee force consisted of one brigade of cavalry, and several pieces of artillery; that they crossed at Ely's Ford, on the Rappahannock, and passed through Spottsylvavia Court-House about eleven o'clock on Sunday night. A despatch was also received yesterday afternoon | <urn:uuid:18ae1a92-fa40-47a7-90e9-5c4d99692303> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2001.05.0093%3Achapter%3D145%3Apage%3D583 | 2018-05-21T01:30:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863901.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521004325-20180521024325-00634.warc.gz | en | 0.987044 | 1,232 | [

Unlike traditional share-dealing, you never own the actual share or commodity. You are simply making a call on whether you think it will go up or down in value. You stake a certain amount of money per point movement – the more it moves in your favour the more money you make, the more it moves against your prediction, the more you lose.
The spread is the difference between the price you can buy at and the price you can sell at. You will buy at the higher price if you think the market will rise (Go Long), or sell at the lower price if you think the market will fall (Go Short). The tighter the spread, the smaller the market has to move for you to make a profit.
Select your market
Let’s take an individual share e.g. Tesco. See a Spread Betting example in the right hand column of this page.
Check the price quoted by the spread betting company
It will reflect the actual share price. There will be always be two figures – the sell price and the buy price, the sell price will be lower. For example, it could be 749-751.
You must decide if you think the price of Tesco shares will go up higher than the buy price, or fall lower than the sell price. If you think higher, you “buy” at the buy price, if you think lower you “sell” at the sell price.
Decide your stake
Now, you must decide how much you are betting, that is, what your stake is – this is the amount of money you gain or lose per point of movement on the value of the share. It is always expressed in currency per point of movement e.g. £5 per point.
In spread betting you do not have to pay the full cost of what the share would be to buy – You will only have to pay a percentage – this is called trading on margin. But spread betting companies will require you to have a certain amount on deposit to cover potential losses (exactly how much varies from company to company and this figure is often called the Initial Margin Requirement).
When you buy to open your trade, you must buy at the higher price, and when you close that trade, you must close at the lower price being quoted at the time you close.
If you sell to open your trade, you sell at the lower price, and when you close the trade, you must close at the higher price quoted at the time.
Close your trade
You can close a trade at any time whether you are making a profit or a loss. You do not have to meet any specific value on any specific date. | <urn:uuid:9ccf49c1-17f5-4c7a-a0f0-2ed4f9856637> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://spreadbetting.com/what-is-spread-betting?qt-quicktabs_what_is=0 | 2018-05-21T01:18:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863901.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521004325-20180521024325-00634.warc.gz | en | 0.948608 | 551 | [

Last Saturday we posted a birthday card to our ten year old grandson.
We handed it in to the post office near Barleston Station at 7am. as there is no pillar box thee.
When it arrived at the destination in Lancashire the stamp had been removed.
The envelope was franked on the back where it could not cancel the stamp.
Why does this matter?
The stamp we used was very special: it was one of the fruit and veg range to which we could add facial features and clothes.
This one was an orange with beady eyes, a bow tie, a moustache and a viking hat.
Our grandson was looking forward to receiving it.
But some unmentionable person in the postal network stole it

I am so sorry for the picture quality tonight but I really wanted to enter the Less is More 1000 entries challenge. I have made 4 cards all almost identical and I will post them all one after another so I can enter them all lol.
I am always inspired by the creations I see out in blogland and have loved seeing all the LIM creations for a while but never dared to join in until now. I think it was Lisa's mammoth entries this week that made me pull on my big girl panties and just get on with it....
So onto the first entry....I saw these images on a card on Dustin's blog and couldn't find them anywhere so I asked him if they were for sale...and it turns out that the lady concerned had combined two of his images to create them so Dustin being the kind and generous person he is made three versions and offered them as freebies. thank you Dustin they are awesome.

Proviso: Before reading the below post it is important that you know its author (i.e. me) harbours feelings of resentment, envy and jealousy towards any person in two (or more) of the following categories:
- Young people
- Successful people (where success is measured by external factors such as wealth)
- Successful people (where success is measured by internal factors such as self-confidence)
- People who can survive on the fruits of their own creativity
- People who have a clear sense of their life goals and have pursued these goals through hard work and dedication.
‘Not that kind of Girl’ by Lena Dunham – the 28 year old creator, producer and star of the HBO series Girls, winner of two Golden Globes and now bestselling author – is definitely not the kind of book I would choose for myself. I tend to avoid biographies. I’m not sure why. Most likely it is bitterness (no-one wants to write a book about me – harrumph). So I approached this one with some caution. However, I also approached with a sense of curiosity. The book is made up of a series of essays, diary extracts and anecdotes focusing on the author’s growth from awkward young girl to awkward teenage girl and on to awkward (but successful) woman. Having been none of those things myself, I was interested to see if this would give me new insight into the mysterious world of woman/girlhood.
So did it? In short, no.
In long, I feel like this book has been cast as something it is not (whether this was by me or generally I am not sure). The title, the author’s style and her focus, suggested a book with a distinct gender divide: here are some uniquely female experiences that have shaped my development as a person. And yet to me, the feelings of awkwardness, of being lost and unsure of yourself, of trying at once to prove yourself and at the same time worrying you will be exposed as some kind of fraud, are less related to gender and more to age. This is a book about being in your twenties and not knowing what to do with your life, or how you ended up where you are. Boy or girl doesn’t really matter. It is on this level that I related to it.
The one bug-bear I did have with it, which I can’t remember having with any other similar book (although note above my avoidance of biographies), is that a lot of the time I simply didn’t believe the author’s stories. Dunham herself admits at points that earlier stories may not have happened exactly as she said, and gives altered versions later. However, by introducing doubt into the truthfulness of the telling she undermined my confidence in her side of the story. To expose oneself on the page is a difficult and brave act – one that I certainly wouldn’t be prepared to do – but I can’t help feeling there is another book behind this one, one that contains the truth and I would have rather read that version than the one I did.

Have you been going through a tough time and don’t really know what to do? Well I have been in the same place before and in this blog I share what I have realized is the best thing to do when you are allowing your situation to distract and or blind you from God’s will over your life.
As I’ve stated before, my family and I have been going through some changes. This year has been a rough unexpected road. As you may know when obstacles in life happen it can be very hard to stay afloat. I have a past of being depressed and getting easily stressed, or what I would say overly stressed. After much prayer, this is something over the years God has worked in my life and has been much better. As I’ve stated in my previous blog “Thankful” I would basically draw stress on myself from trying to take control of situations. I’ve learned that God’s peace surpasses anything I can do to try and control a situation. I’ve learned to allow God to take the wheel and sit as a passenger. I’ve also learned in the midst of a trial instead of putting all my focus on the situation I am facing and allowing it to consume my life I should instead put my focus on serving others. Let me be honest I feel like I can improve in the area of serving. Sure I serve others that I know but I know I can definitely work on serving those that I do not know. When serving those I don’t know and bringing God’s word to them I get so nervous. I get nervous because I feel scared that they may reject God. I know how amazing He is and how He can transform ones life that the rejection breaks my heart. I pray and pray for God to take away my nerves and help me as I speak and that it be Him speaking through me. God blows my mind every time because as I am praying for His will to be done as He uses me I normally think of how He will work in others lives. I do not normally think of how He will use and impact my life in the process. God gets me every time as I speak to people about His goodness and faithfulness because when they share things with me it amazes me how someone I would not think God will use to speak to me is the very one that He does. You see there is something about the way God works in your life when serving others. It’s not that you feel good about helping others but it’s how getting to know the people you are serving God sparks something in your life. I thank God for all these moments because it confirms how He can use anyone of us no matter who we are, what our situation is, or what background we come from. As you face hardships and trials I challenge you to not focus on your mountain but on serving others. Don’t allow the temporary situation to get in the way of the calling God has over your life to use your gift(s). Serve with your all and allow God to minister to you as you serve. Be ready for God to use you and expect to be changed as He uses you. As I challenge myself I challenge you to stop allowing life situations to hinder the calling God calls over your life.
1 Peter 4:10 “As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.”
Prayer: Father God, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I ask that You move in mine and everyone’s heart that is reading this. That we have a shift to serve You more and more each day. Help us to not be stagnant people but to use our gift(s) to their full potential. As we serve You Lord please minister to our lives in a way that causes a change. Guide us to follow Your will for our lives to not be a silent, no action generation. But instead that we become a generation who is unafraid to serve Your kingdom. Draw out all our fears and doubts we have in serving and following Your will for our lives. Have your way in our lives Lord! Amen! | <urn:uuid:3ca43c09-ab19-4c1b-a8f9-d4c2c5ad130c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.lovewithjessica.com/spiritual-inspiration/how-to-overcome-a-season-of-obstacles | 2018-05-24T01:58:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865884.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524014502-20180524034502-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.973443 | 863 | [

There are three classes in speech that reveal personal characteristics of the speaker: those that indicate membership in a group, those that characterize the individual and those that reveal changed states of the speaker. In this paper I am
dealing with the indicators of group membership, the group markers. A group-marked vocabulary is social, it reflects the members' interests and reinforces group solidarity (Laver & Trudgill, 1976). The subject matter is related to the activities of the
group (Browen & Fraxer, 1976). Physical appearance and situation are important factors in determining a person's group membership (Siles, Scherer & Taylor, 1976).
The social groups of a high school can be identified by the way their members dress, act and speak. Students wishing to be identified with one of these groups modify their appearance and behaviour to match the target group's norms. The language use that the students adopt is one of the ways they achieve solidarity within the group. | <urn:uuid:ebe49838-47c3-4e80-93ba-259b92848c86> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://prism.ucalgary.ca/handle/1880/51317 | 2018-05-25T01:31:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866917.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525004413-20180525024413-00634.warc.gz | en | 0.928079 | 196 | [

As always he wondered if he would ever get to the bottom of what Finklers were permitted to say about themselves that non-Finklers were not.
I did and continue to wonder whether Jacobson would have been able to write this book were he not himself Jewish.
The book sets up the Finkler question via two of its main characters - Julian Treslove and Samuel Finkler. They are, naturally, foils: Treslove overflows with love for women and all things Jewish. In a lovely bit of nomenclature, the opening chapter of the book says:
Treslove's clocks were all wrong. He no sooner saw the woman than he saw the aftermath of her - his marriage proposal and her acceptance, the home they would set up together...
Treslove comes across as soft, emotional and fickle. Finkler is hard, barbed and intellectual. Jacobson plays irony with these two characters: While Treslove obsesses with his love for Judaism and eventually does realize his dream of becoming Jewish, he is the very vehicle through which Jacobson explores a subtle anti-semitism. In Treslove's lifetime he has assumed many identities (the latest of which is an amourous Jewish lover), but is loyal to none.
Finkler is Jewish but has in turn spent a lifetime trying not to be identified by it; indeed he is is anti-Zionist and leads a support group called the 'ASHamed Jews'. Yet Finkler, when pushed, is unable to find the emotional wherewithal to persist in looking at matters concerning his race and identity from a purely intellectual standpoint. At the end of the day he remains staunchly, firmly Jewish.
A third character, Libor, stands apart. In contrast to Treslove and Finkler, he is portrayed as a real person, not defined by his race or religion, nor by the correctness of his views, but by the very human - indeed universal - feelings he experiences, particularly for his late wife.
It took me a long while to come to terms with the fact that some of the book's political incorrectness was ok. I see that my awkwardness was understood by Jacobson by virtue of his use of the word "Finkler", as mentioned above. But that's where his carefulness ends. In a stark and offhand manner, Jacobson confronts Jewish stereotypes head on, unabashedly:
For some reason he always poured when he was with Finkler. In over thirty years of taking tea together he could not remember a single occasion on which Finkler had either poured tea or paid for it.
No book on "the Finkler question" would be complete without some commentary on the Isreali-Palestinian conflict. Jacobson handles it in a way that is sensitive and quite agreeable. Take for example a speech by one of the characters at an ASHamed Jews gathering:
Don't we have to show that to be a Jew is a wonderful and various thing, and that it carries no more of a compulsion to defend Israel against all criticism than it does to live in constant fear? We are not, are we, a victim people? ... It is we who are keeping the Holocaust alive today, we who continue where the Kapos left off. Yes, of course it demeans the dead to forget them, but to disinter them in order to justify carnage demeans them even more.
Agreeable, but Jacobson does take effort to show that even such views might be considered simplistic, as they mask layers of complexity concerning not only the practical difficulties of putting opinion into action, but also the question of where a person's identity ends, and his views begin.
The Finkler Question is meant to be funny, so say the critics, but I didn't think it was. Perhaps I could describe it as a tragicomedy. How can I find it wholly funny when at one point it discusses an Israeli man, about to be forced out of his settlement home, who shoots three Arabs in cold blood on board a bus? I felt an overwhelming sadness when, at the end, I realized there is a divide of fundamental identity - of those that belong inside and those outside - that doesn't seem capable of being resolved. How is it that this question of identity can result in so much angst - that results in so much conflict - that results in so much bloodshed?
I appreciate being given the opportunity to reflect on these real, current and serious matters of our day, I truly do. However I must turn now to my thoughts on the novel. Jacobson in my view sacrificed compelling characterisation (perhaps with the exception of Libor) for debate, satire and allegory. I do not understand and have no sympathy for Treslove. I cannot find anything human in him. It is as if his character was created to illustrate a point and to be the subject of Jacobson's acerbic wit. Finkler I have slightly more sympathy for, but not much. Him I see as the focal point for the discussion on Zionism.
I say with the exception of Libor because I loved Libor - he reminds me of an old Czech friend of mine who speaks in the exact same way and also lost his wife to illness. I felt a pang when, discussing Libor's inability to speak truthfully about his bereavement, Jacobson wrote:
Because the heart did not speak, that was why. Because language presupposes artificiality. Because in the end there was nothing, absolutely nothing, to be said.
Perhaps then I should come to the conclusion that a good balance was struck by Jacobson between the intellectual and the emotional. My stubborn inability to connect in a deeper way notwithstanding, this was a brilliantly executed piece of work and I have a feeling I might agree with the Booker panel on their awarding this novel the prize, but I shall for the moment reserve judgment. | <urn:uuid:ea6a6448-b069-46db-ac45-3f8089db7953> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://cuspofthirty.blogspot.com/2011/06/finkler-question-by-howard-jacobson.html | 2018-05-27T01:16:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867977.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527004958-20180527024958-00634.warc.gz | en | 0.980803 | 1,221 | [

42 CFR 409.30 - Basic requirements.
Posthospital SNF care, including SNF-type care furnished in a hospital or CAH that has a swing-bed approval, is covered only if the beneficiary meets the requirements of this section and only for days when he or she needs and receives care of the level described in § 409.31. A beneficiary in an SNF is also considered to meet the level of care requirements of § 409.31 up to and including the assessment reference date for the 5-day assessment prescribed in § 413.343(b) of this chapter, when correctly assigned one of the case-mix classifiers that CMS designates for this purpose as representing the required level of care. For the purposes of this section, the assessment reference date is defined in accordance with § 483.315(d) of this chapter, and must occur no later than the eighth day of posthospital SNF care.
(a)Pre-admission requirements. The beneficiary must -
(1) Have been hospitalized in a participating or qualified hospital or participating CAH, for medically necessary inpatient hospital or inpatient CAH care, for at least 3 consecutive calendar days, not counting the date of discharge; and
(2) Have been discharged from the hospital or CAH in or after the month he or she attained age 65, or in a month for which he or she was entitled to hospital insurance benefits on the basis of disability or end-stage renal disease, in accordance with part 406 of this chapter.
(b)Date of admission requirements.1 (1) Except as specified in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, the beneficiary must be in need of posthospital SNF care, be admitted to the facility, and receive the needed care within 30 calendar days after the date of discharge from a hospital or CAH.
1 Before December 5, 1980, the law required that admission and receipt of care be within 14 days after discharge from the hospital or CAH and permitted admission up to 28 days after discharge if a SNF bed was not available in the geographic area in which the patient lived, or at the time it would be medically appropriate to begin an active course of treatment, if SNF care would not be medically appropriate within 14 days after discharge.
(2) The following exceptions apply -
(i) A beneficiary for whom posthospital SNF care would not be medically appropriate within 30 days after discharge from the hospital or CAH, or a beneficiary enrolled in a Medicare Choice (M C) plan, may be admitted at the time it would be medically appropriate to begin an active course of treatment.
(ii) If, upon admission to the SNF, the beneficiary was enrolled in an M C plan, as defined in § 422.4 of this chapter, offering the benefits described in § 422.101(c) of this chapter, the beneficiary will be considered to have met the requirements described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section, and also in § 409.31(b)(2), for the duration of the SNF stay.

Great piece by Jeff Atwood on his search for a good PC laptop. His conclusion:
My laptop is increasingly a device I only take when I know I’ll need to do a lot of typing, and/or I’ll need a lot of screen space to work. But even a phone could do that if it had decent support for bluetooth keyboards and external displays, couldn’t it? And even programmers, the audience who would most need all the power and flexibility of laptops, are switching to tablets.
I feel like we don’t hear much about PC vs. Mac hardware any more, and that’s probably related to the points made in this piece’s conclusion. (Blogged from my new, five-row-home screen iPhone 5, woohoo!)
Great article by Zach Holman on pointlessly using emoji all over your settings:
I don’t know about you, but my computer is a dick. It keeps not doing all of my work for me. What a piece of shit. So what better way to show our affection to your hunk of metal than to rename it as a literal steamy pile of shit? 💩
I can’t believe all those 2,000-word reviews of iOS 6 and Mountain Lion missed out on this important feature. (I wonder if emoji breaks my RSS feed. If so, see you guys in 10 posts!)
I don’t often link to pages I think everyone else will have seen five times over by the time I get around to them… but this made me laugh out loud and, when I got to the part on pet mortality, tear a little. I’d go hug one of my cats, but they’d just scratch my face off.
A frequently-amusing take on what Silicon Valley thinks is “disruption” in educational technology.
Robot Zombie! T.Rex Ninja! Alien Platypus! Robot robot!
This. Is. Awesome.
For some 12 millennia, humans have sought the company of domesticated cats. We feed them, shelter them, and love them. In return, they jump headfirst into empty grocery bags. This ancient bargain lay at the heart of the Walker Art Center’s first-ever Internet Cat Video Festival.
Excellent article with lots of cat video links. There goes my weekend!

Moving to Belarus?
Moving to Belarus
The Land and Its People
The European country of Belarus has seen a lot of changes over the last few decades, and is becoming an attractive place for people to move to. The country is host to some amazing architecture and a rich cultural history, and offers a way of life very different from that of Western Europe. A friendly and clean country with lots to see and do, moving to Belarus could be the change you're seeking for yourself, your family and your career.
Belarus is home to some fascinating World Heritage Sites including the Struve Geodetic Arc and the Mir Castle Complex. The city of Minsk is the location of the Belarus Opera and Ballet Theater, with regular shows for music and dance lovers. The country's museums and galleries showcase the history and culture of the Belarusian people, and make a great day out with the family.
There are also lots of natural sights to see, with a beautiful landscape of countryside, forestry, highlands, and towns. The traditional feel of Belarus and its dedication to an earlier way of life makes it a relaxing and enjoyable place to be. If you're considering a move to Belarus, you'll be kept busy as there's always something to see and do.
Climate in Belarus
Belarus is a mild country for much of the year, with warm summers that tend to reach about 17-18°C. The Eastern European climate has plenty of summer rainfall as well, so prepare for changeable weather all year round. July tends to be the hottest month of the year, and also the driest. In the winter, you'll need to wrap up against the cold. Heavy snow is very common and the temperature can drop to as little as 8°C. The western side of Belarus has warmer temperatures, but there are parts of the country that see sub-zero temperatures for up to a third of the year. Capital city Minsk can be very cold and icy during the winter months.
Visas for Belarus
As of January 2010, citizens from countries including Armenia, Cuba, Russia and Serbia were granted the ability to enter Belarus without a visa for a stay of 30 days or less. This was extended to 90 days for citizens of Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Venezuela.
The majority of other countries, and indeed all English speaking countries, still require a visa to enter Belarus. Visas are obtained through the Consulates and Embassies of Belarus in your naturalized country, and must be secured prior to travel, even if you are only visiting as a tourist.
In order to process your application, the authorities require your passport, a photograph and medical insurance in addition to a completed application form. Other stipulations vary depending on your nationality, so you should contact your nearest consulate to clarify exactly what is required before attending. | <urn:uuid:a2a9846c-f343-46ae-b555-019583185e19> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.internations.org/belarus-expats/guide/moving-to-belarus-18562 | 2018-05-28T03:20:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870771.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180528024807-20180528044807-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.964935 | 571 | [

One of the world's renowned centres of culture, Barcelona is also one of the capitals of modernist art given its associations with the talents of Dali, Picasso, and Gaudi. Jazz Age Barcelona focuses the lenses of cultural studies and urban studies on the avant-garde character of the city during the cosmopolitan Jazz Age, delving into the cultural forces that flourished in Europe between the late 1910s and early 1930s. Studying literary journalism, photography, and the city of Barcelona itself, Robert Davidson argues that the explosion of jazz culture and the avant-garde was predominantly fostered by journalists and their positive reception of innovative new art forms and radical politics. Using periodicals and recently rediscovered archival material, Davidson considers the relationship between the political pressures of a brutal class war, the grasp of a repressive dictatorship, and the engagement of the city's young intellectuals with Barcelona's culture and environment. Also analysing the 1929 International Exhibition and the down-and-out Raval District - which housed many of the Age's clubs and bars - Jazz Age Barcelona is an insightful portrait of one of the twentieth century's most culturally rich times and places. | <urn:uuid:5891d4a1-6d8b-4b88-9ba9-f9f7e0b2584c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.platekompaniet.no/bok/jazz-age-barcelona-robert-a-davidson/ | 2018-05-28T04:29:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870771.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180528024807-20180528044807-00314.warc.gz | en | 0.916037 | 235 | [

Hi, my first part on here - yay for me!
I was diagnosed, about three months ago, as having persistent atrial fibrillation.
After seeing a cardiologist it was decided that I would be booked in for electro cardioversion to reset natural rhythm.
Anyway, yesterday was D Day, so I went in as instructed at noon. The procedure finally got underway at about 4:30 but from there it went to ****.
They didn't give me a general anaesthetic for cardioversion but sedated me using something called Midazolam. (They normally give an 8mg dose) - I guess I must have a high tolerance to sedatives as they gave me, 45mg of the stuff and then morphine too as I was still chatting away!
Anyway, they zapped my heart twice but it didn't fix it - feel a bit low today as I was really hoping it would work. Felt high as a kite last night though!
Anyone else had similar? What should I expect next? | <urn:uuid:7257bef2-12e0-47fc-b942-33c3b4260513> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://healthunlocked.com/afassociation/posts/131240352/unsuccessful-cardioversion | 2018-05-21T05:28:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863949.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521043741-20180521063741-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.988674 | 211 | [

Six students have become the first in the country to be awarded an Advanced Apprenticeship in rail transport engineering.
They have been trained under a partnership between Tamworth & Lichfield College Technology Centre and Birmingham-based train maintenance company, Maintrain.
The six were taken on as apprentices by Maintrain who approached the College to offer the specialised qualification following the success of other bespoke training courses previously provided for them by the establishment.
The apprenticeship is a three year programme, the first part of which is completed in college learning skills necessary to achieve a technical certificate, and the second spent in the Maintrain depot - part of a new project which sees Maintrain assessors developing specialist workplace modules and assessing the progress of apprentices on the spot.
Gary Hayward, head of the college's Technology Centre, said the partnership had worked so well that Maintrain had now decided to place six apprentices a year onto the same scheme.
"We have worked with this company for some time providing various types of training, but this is the first time we have collaborated so closely to develop such specialised modules leading to the awarding of Advanced Apprenticeship qualifications by the Skills Sector Council for Passenger Transport," he said.
Maintrain training manager Terry Wylie added: "We are very pleased at the success of this programme.
"Tamworth & Lichfield College has done everything possible to support us setting in place this technical and specialist training for our staff, and we have worked together to ensure that skills match up to the requirements of the awarding body. All in all, it's been another very good example of the way the college helps businesses plug skills gaps through effective training programmes."
As a result of the collaboration, Maintrain has since requested the college to provide qualifications in environ-mental management, managing safely, working safely and internal auditing to its staff in Tyseley.
The Technology Centre also offers Advanced Apprentice-ships in electrical installation, mechanical engineering and motor vehicle, as well as a new Level 3 NVQ in electrical installation. | <urn:uuid:c9c4c4cb-7369-4f81-b674-4e43a62aa204> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.birminghampost.co.uk/business/students-help-plug-maintrain-skills-3986033 | 2018-05-21T04:57:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863949.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521043741-20180521063741-00354.warc.gz | en | 0.966435 | 413 | [

Endowed professorships and chairs are both an important way to help faculty research groups to flourish and a mark of profound generosity from donors to the Department of Materials Science & Engineering.
An endowed professorship is established by a donor making a significant gift (>$500,000) to the department; an endowed chair requires a gift of $1,000,000. The principal is held in perpetuity while the interest is used to fund the endowed professorship or chair. All the endowed professorships and chairs in MSE are “term appointments,” i.e., the appointments are not permanent but are held for three to five-year terms by the professor who best matches the donor’s criteria. Here is some information about the current MSE faculty endowments.
This endowed professorship was created by a generous gift from Brian Underwood and Carol Blacutt-Underwood. Brian is an alumnus of CHMS, the former combined department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, holding an M.S. degree awarded in 1991. The Blacutt-Underwood Professorship is filled by an individual who exhibits excellence as a professor of Materials Science. In 2009, the Department was pleased to announce Professor Subhash Risbud as the first holder of this position, which is for five years. Funds from the endowment are awarded annually for use by the selected faculty for teaching, research, or outreach. We thank Brian and Carol for their generous support of MSE. | <urn:uuid:1c9cd9e3-d3a8-437d-9ea7-74bb9eb9e207> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://mse.engineering.ucdavis.edu/alumni/professorships/ | 2018-05-22T06:33:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864626.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522053839-20180522073839-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.964466 | 304 | [

Before I was a pastor, I worked as an engineering manager in telecommunications. In that job, I was always looking for the next, better idea. When you learned something new, you kept it to yourself and hurried to get it patented.
But meeting Christ was a transformative moment in my life. I had been living totally for myself, and all of a sudden, God was calling me to give my life for the spiritual benefit—the success—of others. But first, I had to lay it all down—my pride, my selfishness, my ambition. I stopped holding my success so closely. I couldn’t wait to pass on to others the things I learned about Jesus while walking with him.
Now, as a pastor, I have intentionally brought this approach to ministry: lay it down, then give it away.
A true leader doesn’t view leadership of others as competition, but as cooperation. We want to increase the impact of God’s kingdom, and to do that, we have to develop leaders. And to do that, we have to be willing to set ourselves aside. We ought to want the best for the people we lead. Even if that means they will one day surpass us.
This kind of servant leadership runs counter to what we see in the world, but it’s exactly what Jesus modeled.
At our church in northwest Illinois, we organize our leaders into “dream teams.” The name comes from the idea that we’re chasing the same dream—to see people become fully surrendered followers of Christ. To make that dream come true, we have to work as a team.
Each dream team is responsible for an area of our mission: women’s ministry, men’s ministry, children, media, missions, outreach, etc. When we train them, we don’t hold anything back. We equip them, empower them, and put people in positions to lead. As leaders, we want them to know we’re there to help, but the job is theirs to do. And we are willing, even eager, for them to surpass us as leaders. When they do, the whole kingdom is blessed, and Jesus gets the glory.

When looking to incorporate Reggio-inspired activities into your home, stocking up on a variety of different materials is essential. One fantastic material to use in your child’s at-home activities is mirrors. You can find mirrors in different shapes and sizes that can help inspire their creativity in many various projects. Whether they are using the mirror as a work surface or a canvas for painting, they can add an extra element to your child’s creative play time.
As with everything Reggio, they need to have a purpose in your child’s daily activities. Pay attention to how your children currently interact with mirrors in your home and encourage them to use them in different ways. By placing a few in the play area, they may be more inclined to see how different objects appear when reflected and may even utilize them as a whole other dimension to their art projects.
Mirrors are an excellent inquiry tool for preschool age students, as they can help them see things in an entirely different way. If you are interested in seeing how your child reacts to these materials, try putting one underneath or behind the next activity you do with them at home. Be sure to let them discover the mirror on their own and do not explicitly direct their attention to it.
Bartram Academy is one of the best preschools in Jacksonville, FL, that teaches based on the Reggio Emilia method. If you are interested in enrolling your child, contact us today at (904) 419-7563. | <urn:uuid:be984330-415e-4302-be84-e8cdfe14f4a8> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.bartramacademy.com/using-mirrors-for-reggio-inspired-activities/ | 2018-05-24T06:22:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865928.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524053902-20180524073834-00040.warc.gz | en | 0.961874 | 307 | [

G20: The Gate of Sanctuary
It has been a time of troubles for the Alban Knights. The attacks by the Prophets have taxed their soldiers and shown that Erinn is not as safe as it once seemed... and now something new and terrible has seeped into Tir Chonaill. Human bodies, glowing with a golden energy before rising from the dead.
G20 arrives with the continuation of G19's story, as the Alban Knights try to find out what's behind these new, undead monstrosities. With the help of Talvish, Avelin and Altam and the rest of the Alban Knights, will you be able to unravel this new plot and uncover the secrets hidden in their order's past?
Squires of Baltane
War has few constants, but two parts remain true: You need soldiers to fight in them, and they won't all return. No matter how well you fight, eventually new soldiers will need to be trained, and the Alban Knights have given you that honor.
Completing G20 gives access to the Baltane Squires, capable warriors that require the firm hand of leadership, and the kind words of a friend, to polish them into full-fledged Alban Knights. Confident Dai, brave Eirlys, stern Kaour and more await your guidance, but there will be more to their training than simple calisthenics.
Train your Squires by sending them out on missions, balancing each mission's specifics with your students' abilities and grow your own abilities as a commander, leading as many as five Squires to reach their full potential. And always remember: The brave men and women entering your command have tales of their own to tell, their own obstacles that block their path to Knighthood...
Register and Start G20 in Style
G20: The Gate of Sanctuary arrives on April 14th, and you'll want to start your new quest with every edge available. Head on to the G20 Registration page and sign up to secure your very own G20 Alban Gift Pack, featuring the following:

When Jorja bounce started learning l. a. gang violence in 2002, she encountered a myriad of proposed strategies to the possible intractable “gang challenge” and got down to observe what used to be really happening. The stakes—then and now—could now not be larger: a toddler or teen is killed via gunfire each 3 hours—and murder is the top reason for demise for African American men among the a while of fifteen and thirty-four.
In Jumped In, bounce brings us tales that extend at the back of the data and sensational media photos to the true lives of these caught in—and attempting to get away— "la vida loca.” With the attention of an anthropologist and a center filled with compassion, this small, tricky lady from UCLA travels essentially the most violent and poverty-stricken neighborhoods, driving alongside in police cruisers and helicopters, and conversing with murderers and drug buyers, sufferers and grieving mothers.
via oral histories, own interviews, and eyewitness money owed of present and previous gang individuals, in addition to the folk who love and paintings along them, readers come to appreciate either the folk pulled into gangs and people attempting mightily to forge possible choices and aid their neighborhood. In delving into the private lives of present and previous gang participants, jump goals not just to determine what leads them to crime and find out how to deal so much successfully with gang job, but additionally to listen to the voices of these usually skipped over of the political dialog and to profit from leaders who supply a distinct form of desire, via neighborhood outreach and jobs courses.
As she forges lasting friendships during this neighborhood and turns into immersed in others’ triumphs and tragedies, Leap’s own lives intersect in occasionally incendiary methods. With a husband within the l. a. Police division and a daughter in early life, she faces lots of relatives dilemmas herself. Ultimately, Jumped In is a chronicle of the unforeseen classes gang individuals taught her whereas she was once busily learning them, and the way they replaced her forever.
