Bob Moore Construction Company was general contractor for the 12-screen Cinemark movie theater in Mansfield, Texas.
The 42,265 square-foot theater features a large concession area and seating for 2,010 patrons. The exterior features a dramatic full-height stone veneer, the first time this finish has ever been used on a Cinemark theater. All 12 screens employ top quality Christie projectors, wall-to-wall screens, Dolby digital sound and the most modern version of stadium seating on the market.
The new Cinemark 12 is the company’s 18th theater in Dallas / Fort Worth. The theater is located in Mansfield Town Center West, a 39 acre retail and office complex. Bob Moore Construction was general contractor for Town Center West’s site preparation. (Click here for more information on Mansfield Town Center West.)
To accommodate Cinemark’s desire to have the theater ready for the summer’s blockbuster movies, Bob Moore Construction completed this construction project almost two weeks ahead of the original schedule. This project was one of the fastest theaters Cinemark has ever built, and the amount of time from when the tilt-up construction panels were stood to the project’s completion was shorter than any other theater in the company’s history.
This project received the Best Of Award from Texas Construction Magazine for Sports / Entertainment Facility Construction. | <urn:uuid:27899a4f-73e5-4350-be84-90e3cffda7c0> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.generalcontractor.com/project/cinemark-12-mansfield/ | 2019-05-27T09:56:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232262311.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20190527085702-20190527111702-00435.warc.gz | en | 0.92289 | 282 | [

I’m a Canadian exchange student. My only connection to Scotland is my arrival here on September 8th, ten days before the referendum. So when people asked me which way I would vote if I was Scottish, I told them that I don’t really feel entitled to an opinion on the independence referendum because I don’t know Scotland in the way that those who live and work here do. I was an outsider looking in; a sort of political tourist. As I absorbed the atmosphere surrounding the impending referendum, it became increasingly clear to me that many people were basing their vote on their feelings about their Scottish identities.
This is interesting to me as a Canadian because we have a similar situation with separatist movements in Quebec. You may know Quebec as “The French part” of Canada; it’s a former French colony that was handed over to the British in 1763 after France lost a war. Despite Britain’s numerous attempts to assimilate them, there has always been an undercurrent of separatism among the inhabitants of Quebec. This lead to two referenda on the province’s separation, both of which have been incredibly close (to give you an idea of the numbers: the final count for the 1995 referendum on Quebec’s separation was 49% ‘Yes’ to 51% ‘No’).
I was raised in Alberta, a part of the country that is largely English-speaking. Canada has a system where the citizens of each province pay a portion of their income (through income taxes) into a central pot that gets redistributed throughout the country to allow all provinces equal opportunity to fund social services. Alberta is the richest province in Canada; the citizens of Alberta pay the most money into the pot and the Albertan government doesn’t receive any money from it.
Quebec, on the other hand, receives the most money from the pot out of any province. There’s a popular perception in Alberta that we are, in effect, paying for the socialist paradise that Quebeckers enjoy – things like cheap childcare and low tuition rates. True or not, this idea that we’re “giving our money away” to those who aren’t grateful for it is an image that permeates Albertan culture when we talk about the less fortunate provinces. Whenever the separatist movement gains ground in Quebec, we talk about the province like we’re worried parents, complaining that the kids are spoiled and incapable of taking care of themselves without our help.
In light of all this, my hope for a ‘Yes’ vote for Scotland was surprising. I didn’t expect, as someone that isn’t even from here, to feel so much in favour of a Scottish separation. To be clear, I’m not talking about the economy – while I could consider the economic arguments, they were far less important to me than the sentiment behind the whole enterprise. I wanted this nation to take the chance and I wanted that chance to work out.
This is strange because I have feelings of a similar sentimental nature concerning Quebec; but on the opposite side. I want them to stay, and it’s important for me and my conception of what it means to be Canadian that our French heritage and the culture of Quebec remains a part of Canada. If Quebec separates, I would feel like Canada had lost something interesting and important. I want Quebeckers to be happy; I just want them to be happy at home.
As Canadians we’ve had a national identity crisis for so long that it’s become our national identity. We cling to cheesy stereotypes like our passion for hockey, our love for maple syrup or the frequency of our apologies out of desperation, because finding unity is hard and this is the best we can do. Unlike those of us in the English-speaking portions of the country, Separatist Quebec seems to know what it is and what it wants. Sometimes the desperate attempts to preserve Quebecois culture — things like legislation to prevent Quebecois children from going to school in an institution that instructs in English, or having to change all the English signage to French — seem at best excessive and at worst oppressive. But at the same time, this English speaker kind of likes that Quebec is what it is. It makes Canada exciting.
I can’t speak to the experience of voting for or against Scottish independence because I’m not Scottish; and I don’t know how individual people came around to making their decisions. But I wonder how different the dynamic is between the UK and Canada, in terms of how connected people feel to the separate identities they have to hold to live in those countries. Perhaps the Better Together campaign struck a chord in some voters when they talked about a Yes vote being a vote against Britishness; maybe Scotland’s No vote wasn’t a vote for fear, but a vote for unity. | <urn:uuid:4a33ef3a-1d1f-485d-9ca7-911872f51dcf> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://gyoumagazine.com/2014/10/29/a-canadian-reacts-to-the-scottish-referendum/ | 2019-05-21T15:25:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256426.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521142548-20190521164548-00075.warc.gz | en | 0.970038 | 1,009 | [

Who is the greatest systematizer of theology in the history of the church? No, not Calvin, but Francis Turretin. These volumes are some of the most valuable in all of Puritan and Christian literature.
Puritan “Book” (Books on Hard Drive) Review – SWRB Puritan Hard Drive
Reviewed by Dr. C. Matthew McMahon
The Puritan Hard Drive
made available by Still Waters Revival Books
1 Hard Drive Packed with Great Information and the best books!
There are many book publishers today that have taken up the task of publishing old Puritan and Reformed books for the glory of Jesus Christ. For instance, Banner of Truth Trust, Soli Deo Gloria, International Outreach, Sprinkle Publications, Reformation Heritage Press, Old Paths Publications, and others, are among those who are serving the Christian community with books that need to be published and read. The revival of Puritan and Reformed literature in the last 50 years, beginning with the popularity of the Banner of Truth, is something every Christian reader should be grateful for. The expertise and theological precision that the Reformers and Puritans possessed in exegeting the Word of God can only be rivaled by men like Augustine or Aquinas. Reformation and Post-Reformation dogmatics provide the Christian community with tools to study and interpret the Bible, as well as refresh the Christian through sound exposition and godly sermons of the Reformers and Puritans of old. It is no doubt, then, that the greatest revival in the history of the church other than the coming of Jesus Christ in the fullness of time and the expansion of the Gospel through the apostolic witness, was during the time of the Reformation and the Post-Reformation through the Puritans.
It cannot be denied that Reformation theology took root and grew even after the Reformers and Puritans had gone to their heavenly rest. Certainly men like Jonathan Edwards, Samuel Davies, and the Princeton Theologians at the turn of the 20th century continued to cultivate Reformed Theology after the manner and exegetical prowess of their theological forefathers. So it is with thankfulness that such publications have been made available to the Christian community. However, if the Christian were to buy all of these works, those at least that are available, they would certainly have to purchase thousands and thousands of dollars of books over a long period of time in order to gain a substantial library (especially if they were in pastoral ministry or some academic circle) unless they were providentially wealthy. For example, a library of about 1000 books in today’s Christian market, if one was to buy the choice volumes of puritan and Reformed literature, would cost anywhere from $20,000 to $30,000. Martin Luther’s works alone run $1400 (and that is a bargain in many ways). So what does the serious theological student, or the church-going laymen do? How can they instantly attain a large library of choice theological works without going into financial debt?
The Puritan Hard Drive.
Though the “smell” of a hard drive can never replace the smell of a new theological book delivered to your home, software today has opened up the ability to increase a student’s library by exponential amounts. Still Waters Revival Books has offered the professors, pastors, theological students and church laymen one of the most valuable hard drive of Reformed and Puritan literature to date. Certainly Christians should be grateful for all the software providers already digitizing published books electronically. These are a wonderful help toward exegetical study. However, SWRB has compiled over 12500 Reformed and Puritan works on a drive that, for the most part, are not available anywhere else but in an extensive theological library, or a rare and antiquitous book room. In fact, many of the books that are on this CD collection are not in Seminary libraries at all because the works have never been transcribed or modernized for the public.
Let us look for a moment at the “worth” of the drive. It contains material that ranges from contemporary papers, to works over 500 years old. For instance, works by William Cunningham (such as his Historical Theology set), much older works such as Williams Ames’ Fresh Suit Against Human Ceremonies in Worship, and very old works such as the complete Works of John Knox. Cunningham’s works are available to buy in book form for about $40 through various book-sellers. Ames’ works are not found anywhere except by Xeroxed copy from SWRB. Knox’s works were once reprinted, but have been out of print for quite a long time. Yet, all three of these are available on the Reformation CD collection, and are at the fingertips of the user. To give you an example, authors can be found such as John Knox, John Calvin, the Westminster Divines, the Covenanted Church of Scotland (General Assembly), the famous Synod of Dort (1618-1619), Thomas Manton, George Gillespie, Samuel Rutherford, Matthew Henry, C.H. Spurgeon, Jonathan Edwards, John Owen, John Brown (of Wamphray), John Brown (of Haddington), Francis Turretin, James Durham, John Howie, William Hetherington, David Steele, Samuel Miller, John Girardeau, Edward Fisher, Robert Shaw, A.W. Pink, Loraine Boettner, Augustus Toplady, Andrew Symington, Patrick Fairbairn, William Roberts, Richard Baxter, William Cunningham, John Anderson, Andrew Clarkson, David Scott, John Cunningham, George Smeaton, Larry Birger, Francis Rouse, Dr. F. Nigel Lee, Bill Mencarow, Thomas M’Crie, Hugh Latimer, David Calderwood, Andrew Melville, David Hay Fleming, John Welch, J.C. McFeeters, A.F. Mitchell, Peter Lorimer, P. Hume Brown, Taylor Innes, James Kerr, and William Morison. Awesome. More? John Arrowsmith, Oliver Bowles, Anthony Burgess, David Dickson, William Gouge, Alexander Henderson, George Hutcheson, Augustine Marlorate, Steven Marshall, George Newton, George Petter, Robert Rollock, Thomas Shepard, and John Trapp. To collect these works alone would be practically impossible because of the rarity of most of the works in the collection. The worth of these to the soul is even more important than their affect to your wallet.
There are three aspects that make this collection invaluable: 1) cost for worth, 2) availability, and 3) simplicity of use.
Do you like listening to books? If you like MP3s, there are hundreds of them on the drive. They have the complete Westminster Standards for you to listen to, as well as works by Calvin, Knox, Owen and others.

CT / CTA
Computed tomography scanning, also sometimes called CAT or CT scanning, is a safe and painless exam that uses x-ray technology to obtain detailed cross-sectional images of a person's body. Flagler Imaging's computed tomography scanner offers a 16 slice superior quality image for diagnosis and assessment of multiple conditions. It can also perform CT angiography (CTA) procedures that use x-rays to visualize blood flow in arteries and veins throughout the body without the need for an angiogram. CTA is a much less invasive and more patient-friendly procedure because contrasting material is injected into the peripheral vein (through an IV) rather than into an artery. This procedure can be used to screen for arterial disease.
How do I prepare for my CT scan?
You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your exam. You may be given a gown to wear during the procedure. You may be instructed to pick up contrast (chalky liquid) before your procedure. Special instructions will be given to you on that day for drinking the barium.
Metal objects including jewelry, eyeglasses, dentures and hairpins may affect the CT images and should be left at home or removed prior to your exam. You may also be asked to remove hearing aids and removable dental work. Please download and fill out the
RADIOLOGY PATIENT QUESTIONNAIRE AND THE
HOME MEDICATION LIST and bring them with you to your appointment, or be prepared to fill these out upon your arrival at the Imaging Center.
You should inform your physician if you have any allergies. If you have a known allergy to contrast material, your doctor may prescribe medications to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction.
What will I experience before and during my scan?
During a CT scan you lie on a cushioned table that moves in and out of the center of the scanner. You may be asked to hold your breath during the scanning. The CT scan takes any where from 10 minutes to 30 minutes to complete. Contrast material may be used, depending on the type of exam.
You will be alone in the exam room during the CT scan, however, the technologist will be able to see, hear and speak with you at all times.
After a CT exam, you can return to your normal activities. If you received contrast material, you may be given special instructions.
WHAT ABOUT THE RESULTS?
A Radiologist, a physician with expertise in supervising and interpreting radiology examinations, will view the images and send a report to your physician, who will discuss the results with you.
WHAT IF I HAVE TO CANCEL THE APPOINTMENT?
Be sure to contact us at (904) 819-4707 or (904) 819-4720 if, for any reason, you cannot keep your appointment. We will help you reschedule to a more convenient time. | <urn:uuid:cdcc83ba-8429-4fdf-b1ae-5a66ed6277b0> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.flaglerhospital.org/Medical-Services/Imaging-Center/CT-CTA.aspx | 2019-05-24T00:13:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257432.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20190523224154-20190524010154-00395.warc.gz | en | 0.935881 | 599 | [

there are no words for how I feel for you,
“I love you” does no justice.
no matter the language, not one can show
the depth of what I have for you;
were I the moon, with stars to choose from,
you’d be my only sun—
with you just being, I can see
the world in all it’s meaning;
in it I’ll stand, as only I can,
to be the man you deserve:
each beat it beats—this heart—it feeds
this body so I can move,
so I can go and find the words,
and the world we both deserve. | <urn:uuid:87e1c2d4-2f12-4cf2-ae15-fb93ea63fcfc> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://solfulsoul.com/2010/11/27/los-3/ | 2019-05-25T03:36:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257847.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525024710-20190525050710-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.910037 | 144 | [

Distance: 800 Light Years
Approximately 11,000 to 12,000 years ago a massive star exploded in the southern constellation of Vela. The matter ejected by the supernova scattered the contents of the star into the surrounding interstellar medium creating shock fronts of multimillion degree gas and high energy particles. The heated matter produces brilliant visible light as well as radio and x-ray emission which will continue for thousands of years until the entire remnant of the dying star completely dissipates into space. Supernovas enrich the surrounding interstellar medium with heavier elements like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, sulfur, and iron which can only be created by the intense heat within the nuclear furnaces of stars. Supernovas play a significant role in the dynamics and ecology of galaxies as the expanding shock fronts trigger the collapse of nearby molecular clouds which then leads to the birth of new generations of stars. Our sun contains telltale heavier elements which allude to its origin from an ancient supernova some 5 billion years ago. Supernovas are essential to the establishment of life as several of the critical heavier elements found within living organisms can only be formed or disbursed by the violent destruction of massive stars.
The Vela Pulsar (PSR B0833-45 or PSR J0835-4510) a rapidly rotating neutron star was discovered by astronomers in 1968 and was direct observational proof that supernovas form pulsars. It has a period of 89 ms.

During Combat As soon as it detects a living creature, an edimmu uses its moan special ability to sow discord before attacking with its frigid touch. If foes prove they are able to harm the edimmu, it lies out of reach and makes use of its storm mastery ability.
Morale Edimmu are fearless and fight until destroyed or dismissed (see weaknesses).

Frigid Touch (Su)
An edimmu’s frigid touch deals 1d6 points of cold damage.
Life Implosion (Su)
Once an edimmu reaches 0 Hit Points it collapses upon itself, imploding with a final shriek that rips the life force from nearby creatures. Any living being within 20 feet of the edimmu at the time of its destruction must succeed a DC 14 Fortitude save or take 1d4 points of Constitution damage. The save is Charisma-based.
An edimmu’s sorrowful moans force every living creature within 30 feet to make a DC 16 Will save to avoid becoming shaken. This is a sonic mind-affecting fear effect. Whether or not the save is successful, an affected creature is immune to the same ediummu’s moan for 24 hours. The save is Charisma-based.
Upon an edimmu’s destruction, the magics that bind it to the mortal world linger on. Thus, 1d4+1 days after an edimmu’s destruction, the creature reforms with full hit points. The only way to destroy an edimmu is with an atonement spell. The atonement absolves the creature of its sins and sorrows, allowing it to finally return to its native plane.
Storm Mastery (Su)
Once per day, an edimmu can spend a full-round action to control the winds within 50 feet of it. It may change the speed and strength of the wind within this area, raising wind force to as strong as severe (see wind effects). It may control such winds for up to 1 minute, but can perform no other action while doing so. At the end of this minute, or when the edimmu takes another action, the force of the winds reduces by one level of strength per round until returning to normal.
If dismissal is cast upon an edimmu, it is immediately destroyed without its Life Implosion ability taking effect.

ANNOUNCED AS TEMPORARYNo
FDI: Treatment and operations, nes
On 23 November 2010, the President of Ecuador announced that Petroleo Brasileiro SA (Petrobras) would leave the country. The reason for the departure lies in failed negotiations to change the Brazilian company's oil sharing deal into a services contract.
In an effort to excert more control over its national resources, the government of Ecuador had informed Petrobras that it could remain in the country as a service contractor to be paid a production fee. Under the scheme, the government has full ownership of all oil and gas produced. However, the two parties could not agree on the terms of such a service contract.

I almost forgot about tonight’s fights as twitter was on fire commenting on La Maquina’s fight versus John Molina. You could’ve sworn it was like Bradley vs. Provodnikov all over again as each man was trading awesome blows and making waves on twitter, and making me want to go home faster. I will cease commenting any more as hopefully this win will bring Matthysse back into the light to perhaps challenge Danny Garcia again.
I made it back on time to catch the main event, Keith “One Time” Thurman vs. Julio Diaz, a wily veteran needing one more time around the ring to make a statement. Keith is coming off a TKO win over the tough Jesus Soto Karass, but is facing another ring veteran who took what Keith was serving in the first round. Though what I was impressed by the most was the refinement of Thurman, with way more control and patience for throwing his blows, which probably now comes in a more fearsome manner because his hand speed is still there and looks faster than ever. Thurman’s footwork and head movement is also a lot more natural and overall, the few rounds he spent in the ring tonight were very graceful and relaxed. If “One Time” didn’t retire Diaz in the third, he would’ve have certainly chopped Diaz down with lefts hooks and murderous rights, though it seemed Thurman got a little impatient as Diaz kept coming forward after repeatedly connecting with big power shots.
Diaz is no joke, but Thurman was only warming up. It’s very unfortunate that he’s the fighter to avoid in the stacked Welterweight class, because he is truly a talent. Some gaps could be improved, such as his right guard getting loose as he lets his left hook go, but the evidence of growth in his footwork, feints, ring generalship, and overall position (a very underrated talent!) is very impressive. Thurman is always in position to throw a punch, and quickly disposed of a hard-grit opponent in Julio Diaz with repeated blows to the body. Which brings us to the significant blow of the night, the punch Thurman makes look good in all his fights…

ACTIMA CDRW 4X4X24X DRIVER
Someone posted that they had a drive that was made in Malaysia in the month of March but had 4x4x24 on the label.
Overclocking - Printer Friendly version
My box says CB as a product number. Be careful.
Make sure you are working with the proper one. I have no idea if you could screw up the other drives with this method. Update the Malaysia made i a to a 1. Use Actima cdrw 4x4x24x build-in installer and do the firmware.
Supported drives for CD and DVD burning
When the flashing process is about halfway complete, turn off your computer Yes really, turn it off 3. When you restart your computer you will see a window that says the firmware update failed. Click on the finish button. Windows check in device manager will now see your i as a Actima cdrw 4x4x24x The drive identified as an a appears to be a HP with the burn rate cut back in the firmware.

Your crashing Windows during this process. I recommend that you do not have any other programs open during this time. I have not found a way to reverse this process.
I bet HP wont honor your warranty if you update their cheaper drives for free. I have successfully update the HPi to a hp i.
Before the update the has 2 speed write and 2 speed re-write. After the update the Actima cdrw 4x4x24x has been change by the firmware to hp and now it supports 4 speed write, 2 speed rewrite and 80 min cds!. We don't if it really works but you can try it yourself by Actima cdrw 4x4x24x the firmware over here.
Another related email: I have got an HPi sold just in Germany and Austria with special edition software package which is manufactured May and labeled as hp c The firmware says HPxx series and the old firmware version was HPxx v. BUT there is a big problem: So it seems that firmware update to Actima cdrw 4x4x24x is Actima cdrw 4x4x24x trying - perhaps someone is lucky and got other hardware revisions or better cooled system and it could work fine, then you got a nice upgrade to a 4-speed writer; if not just write still at 2-speed Hope this was helpful, cause I still have not found a way back to HP75xx firmware I read an article at your web that said that the HP i can be updated to HP by it firmware.
ImageMixer VCD/DVD2 for OLYMPUS
I have installed the firmware of HP i into my HP i and it works correctly. The firmware was 1.

The patchbay is an interesting idea @thetechnobear I was thinking along those lines myself, but hadn't really come up with much of a way to implement it other than making a specific object. What are modulation sources? I had a look at the mod source cc object but I'm not sure if I understand exactly what it does?
The ui feels like an intuitive place to be able to assign CC encoders, I'd also like to be able to assign note on and/or off for switches, toggles and radio buttons.
I do appreciate that it will add complexity but then again, adding anything to the mapping system will increase complexity but it will also end up enhancing what I believe is a very very powerful midi system, there is a lot of potential here.
I want to be able to plug in any of my midi gear and know that it will be easy to use, the beauty of the axoloti is that we can write the code for anything that is missing.
btw. I had a look at 2s complement but I couldn't see how to use it for a 7bit value, unless I add 128 to values > 64?
Lastly, I was wondering how the midi system is connected and whether it's possible to just intercept the incoming CC messages before it goes anywhere, manipulate the data and then inject it back into the internal system, that way it would be possible to assign CCs via the ui without actually having to change the ui code? | <urn:uuid:ce9adada-f57e-47a9-8a56-bc522c5f4e2a> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://community.axoloti.com/t/attempting-to-make-a-relative-encoder-failing/2136 | 2020-07-04T01:24:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655883961.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704011041-20200704041041-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.96687 | 309 | [

Dead Rising 2Edit
In Dead Rising 2 Chuck Greene wears a Ratman costume.
Ratman also appeared in events from the Japanese rhythm battle game Otoranger, the official site revealing the story of Ratman.
In Epoch City, the rich Habanero foundation made the city more habitable, with the dazzling Habanero Tower in the center and many people wearing jewels. On the other hand, the periphery of the city is getting poor and turning into slums where even the light from the city can't reach. The mayor was frustrated with it and wanted to get rid of the slums to make the city more beautiful. From the Habanero foundation, the Pepper corps led by Habanero appeared to do the ambitious job. Every day, poor persons were chased away from the slums, some running to the sewers and being forced to live in a dark underground city.
However, Steven Gordon, a cheerful young scientist that works in the laboratory from a big company, a man good at any sports, and someone that many believe to have the potential to be the next president, has a secret that no one knows. He was rised in the slums and likes to help the poor, being like a light to them. He believes that a new era will come, and to help the poor, he steals food and money from Epoch City as a messenger of justice, the gentleman thief Ratman.
- Ratman: Steve Gordon was born during Christmas in a wealthy family. However, his family was attacked and killed by mysterious robbers. Luckly, a crying Steve survived and was found in a manhole by a homeless old man, Giuseppe. Steve grew underground, surrounded by rats. Giuseppe used to be millionaire and had great knowledge, teaching Steve many things until he was 20 years old. Dying, the old Giuseppe revealed the tragedy that happened to his parents and the truth of Epoch City. Steve than decided to live as a keeper of Epoch City, becoming Ratman to defeat Habanero. As Ratman, he is an unrivaled hero with extraordinary physical performance gifted with Giuseppe's teachings. He also trained martial arts and developed his own equipment, like the Rat Saucer, Rat Stick, and Parmesan Bomb. Day and night, he protects the weak and poor from evil.
- Scarred Habanero: The leader of the Habanero organization and the Pepper army that governs Epoch City. In the past he was a talented and respected scholar, but had a sudden change after an incident in which he went missing. After some time, he reappeared and built Epoch City, also establishing the giant Habanero foundation responsible for the city. His ultimate goal is to turn the world into an unified nation, "Habanero World". However, he is also ruthless and tyrannical, wanting to reach his goals by any means necessary. Even his loyal Pepper corps are nothing more than experimental material to him. His only weakness is the odor of cheese. In an old battle against Ratman, he was plaged for years by the damage of a Parmesan Bomb, the reason for his nose being like a habanero.
- Ratwoman: Catherine Gordon is the granddaughter of the founder of the company that Steve works for. She was involved in a stalker (Cat Punch) incident and was helped by Ratman. She knows Ratman's identity and fell in love with Steve, deciding to also protect Epoch City.
- Ratboy: Billy Gordon is the result of the love between Steve and Catherine. Although he is only five years old, he is very naughty and is always a trouble to his parents. When their house was invaded by a thief (Cat Punch), he took care of the problem and now is the keeper of their home. His parents, although opposed due to his age, decided to add him as a member since he would not listen to what they say at all.
- Cat Punch: Greg is a childhood friend of Catherine that unconditionally loves her, believing that she can only stay with him. Due to his erratic feelings and Steve's presence, he became a stalker, displaced from society. One night, when alone, a red nosed man appeared and gave something to him. "You wish, and I will grant", he said. Greg disappeared with the mysterious man in the darkness, and when he returned, he had a cat-like appearance. Taking advantage of his small body, he specializes in quick attacks like the Cat Straight, Cat Upper, and Cat Hook.
- Doggy Bag: Al was a police officer from the Epoch police department when he encountered a robber during a patrol with his colleagues. Having a strong sense of justice, he hunted down the criminal, but was injured by a surprise attack and missed the culprit in the darkness. Later, his partners considered him a martyr, and to get revenge against the perpetrator, he applied to be the first experiment of the "Super Cop Program". Being combined with the abilities and olfactory skill of a bulldog, he was reborn as Doggy Bag. His colleagues clasped the martyr, and since then, he was given clearance to get the criminal, diligently doing his work and being capable of smelling even small pieces of cheese.

Tanning Bed Use Tied to Risky Behavior in Men
Since the stereotypical tanning salon client is a young woman, most research and health messages on tanning focus on that demographic. But a new study by researchers at the University of Connecticut finds that one in three people who use tanning beds in the U.S. are male, and men who tan tend to engage in other risky behaviors.
The findings show that men who tan report using tanning beds with about the same frequency as women, but smoke and binge drink at higher rates than their female counterparts. They also tend to treat tanning more like an addiction than women do, say the researchers. In fact, 49 percent of men who used tanning beds fit a pattern of addictive behavior regarding tanning.
“That was really surprising,” says lead author Sherry Pagoto, a clinical psychologist. “If they tan with the same frequency as women, why would tanning in men be more addictive?”
The research team conducted a national survey of 636 people who answered “yes” when asked whether they had ever used a tanning bed. They asked the respondents about frequency of use, preferred locations to tan, how they felt about tanning, and why they did it.
The differences between men and women were marked. According to the findings, women prefer to tan in salons, and say they value low cost, cleanliness, and convenience, while men who who tan prefer less regulated settings, such as gyms or private homes. Tanning men say they like to tan to accentuate their muscles, or as a reward after working out. These men also reported smoking tobacco, binge drinking alcohol, and drinking soda significantly more often than women who tan.
Many men also answered “yes” when asked if they ever felt anxious if they weren’t able to tan, tanned to relieve stress, or spent money on tanning even when they couldn’t afford it. They agreed with statements such as “I’d like to quit but I keep going back to it.”
There’s a population of men who tan and also participate in other risky behaviors and are very unlike the young women that health educators assume are at risk of tanning bed health impacts, says Pagoto.
The researchers are working on another study to delve more deeply into who tans, asking questions about sexual orientation, given that recent research has shown that homosexual men are just as likely to use tanning beds as young women. The research should help health officials trying to warn the public of the significant link between tanning beds and skin cancer, she says.
Sun lamps and tanning beds are legal for adult use in all 50 states, even though the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies them as a Class 1 carcinogen like tobacco, radon, and arsenic, and the use of tanning beds has been linked to melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Most health messages target teen- and college-aged women, according to Pagoto. Men who tan are unlikely to relate to that type of message. Pagoto is now using social media marketing principles to develop prevention messages that resonate with specific audience segments.
“We’re also hoping to spread the message on college campuses, since the tanning industry heavily markets to college students,” she says.
The findings, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, should help public health officials rethink how, and to whom, they’re targeting anti-tanning messages.

As the top-requested treatment of its kind, Botox® continues to help men and women erase years off their faces and resolve a variety of medical ailments. Weimin Hu, MD, PhD, and the aesthetic experts at ReNew360 offer personalized Botox treatment packages. Find out how Botox can help you by booking a consultation at the Tucson, Arizona, office today.
Botox®, a type of neurotoxin injectable, contains purified ingredients that block certain signals between cells and your brain. These signals are what make muscles twitch and contract with each facial expression you make.
Since you’re prone to facial volume loss as you get older, those muscles work closer and closer to the surface of your skin.
This causes folds and grooves to develop each time your muscles contract. Botox temporarily forces your muscles to relax so your skin can smooth out.
Because Botox is designed to be injected into very specific muscles, surrounding muscles continue to function as normal, so you can keep making your normal facial expressions. No need to worry about a “frozen” look.
Botox treatment packages from ReNew360 are personalized to you and the severity of your lines and wrinkles. In general, Botox is ideal for resolving:
Because Botox blocks specific cell signaling, it is even used for treating excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), chronic migraines, tension headaches, and more. The practitioners at ReNew360 let you know about other issues Botox can treat.
Botox is fast acting. In most cases, it starts working immediately and provides dramatic results or improvements in your symptoms within about 48 hours.
While Botox injections from ReNew360 don’t require any downtime, you may be a little red or swollen for a few hours afterward. Give yourself time to heal if you have an important event on the same day as your Botox treatment.
Botox is long lasting, but to continue experiencing the benefits of Botox, you’re going to need ongoing treatments.
Depending on why you’re getting Botox and the severity of your symptoms, treatments last anywhere from about three to six months. Once Botox wears off, it’s perfectly safe to come back to ReNew360 for additional injections.
The expert practitioners at ReNew360 offer Botox for a variety of treatments. Find out how Botox can help you by calling the office to schedule a consultation.

A genome-wide linkage scan was performed in a sample of 79 multiplex pedigrees to identify genomic regions linked to femoral neck cross-sectional geometry. Potential quantitative trait loci were detected at several genomic regions, such as 10q26, 20p12-q12, and chromosome X. Introduction: Bone geometry is an important determinant of bone strength and osteoporotic fractures. Previous studies have shown that femoral neck cross-sectional geometric variables are under genetic controls. To identify genetic loci underlying variation in femoral neck cross-sectional geometry, we conducted a whole genome linkage scan for four femoral neck cross-sectional geometric variables in 79 multiplex white pedigrees. Materials and Methods: A total of 1816 subjects from 79 pedigrees were genotyped with 451 microsatellite markers across the human genome. We performed linkage analyses on the entire data, as well as on men and women separately. Results: Significant linkage evidence was identified at 10q26 for buckling ratio (LOD = 3.27) and Xp11 (LOD = 3.45) for cortical thickness. Chromosome region 20p12-q12 showed suggestive linkage with cross-sectional area (LOD = 2.33), cortical thickness (LOD = 2.09), and buckling ratio (LOD = 1.94). Sex-specific linkage analyses further supported the importance of 20p12-q12 for cortical thickness (LOD = 2.74 in females and LOD = 1.88 in males) and buckling ratio (LOD = 5.00 in females and LOD = 3.18 in males). Conclusions: This study is the first genome-wide linkage scan searching for quantitative trait loci underlying femoral neck cross-sectional geometry in humans. The identification of the genes responsible for bone geometric variation will improve our knowledge of bone strength and aid in development of diagnostic approaches and interventions for osteoporotic fractures.

Changing name is a hassle. But what is rarely acknowledged is just how much the current systems place a burden on cis women and trans people that is not shared by cis men. Jane Fae reports
Tried changing your name recently? I have – and it’s a complete and utter pain.
Not just because of all the hoops that some organisations make you jump through. There’s the sheer inconsistency of it all as well. Some want marriage certificates, deed polls, divorce papers. Some don’t.
Some will do it on a phone call. Others won’t. A number of organisations put up ludicrous barriers to change. A few have policies that would make even Kafka whimper.
Tesco ClubCard will change a surname on the phone, but need written proof if you wish to change your first name. npower, initially, would not change my name on a phone call: they needed documentation. However, they happily reverted my partner back to her maiden name with barely a blink. When we put it to them that this was probably discriminatory, treating a trans woman very differently to one living her gender, they gulped and hastily explained their call centre had made a mistake.
Then there was the bank that told a woman who applied to change the name on her accounts six months after she married that she was now “too late”. I could go on and on, and on.
The excuses are just as bad. Where organisations dignify their behaviour with an explanation, there is usually some mish-mash of argument containing words like security, identity theft, fraud and so on. None of which quite adds up. Organisations that will happily transfer tens of thousands of pounds at my say-so and on presentation of oh-so-secure details like my mother’s maiden name will then go all coy at the idea that the same level of security is sufficient basis for agreeing that I’ve changed my name.
No. They need at least a deed poll – a trivial document that anyone can pick up for not much more than a fiver in a couple of hours. Besides, they mutter, “it’s the law.”
Except, it isn’t. In English law, your name is what you are known by: and so long as you are not doing so for purposes of fraud or pecuniary gain, you can call yourself what you like. Identity theft? Another nonsense excuse. Your identity is in practice a bundle of proofs that taken together show that you are the “selfsame entity” allowed access to all the privileges to which you are entitled.
Proof that you are entitled to access particular bank accounts, or own a car should be as independent of your current name as it is from your account number or license plate. Amazingly, some of the best, most progressive organisations in this respect are central government bodies. When I changed my name for tax purposes, it took just one simple phone call, the provision of sufficient security information to prove that I am indeed me – and Bob’s your uncle (unless he happens to have changed his name to Archibald in the interim!)
Ditto National Insurance and council tax. Ditto, amazingly, the NHS, who will even, for purposes of personal record-keeping, acknowledge a self-identified gender. (The one exception to this – the only part of the NHS to have decided that it knows the law better than anyone else – is the Gender Identity Service, which refuses to acknowledge new names until their bearer has jumped through a number of quite unnecessary quasi-legal hoops).
Some utilities, too, seem to have got the message.
The real foot-draggers in this respect are banks, financial institutions and a slew of organisations who cannot possibly have any good reason to be picky about name change. Take npower once more: the only interaction I ever have with that company is to hand over large amounts of cash to them every quarter to pay for my gas and electricity supply. As party to a contract with them, I remain liable for those amounts irrespective of what I choose to call myself: and if I do attempt a moonlight flit, that makes me a criminal and I can be prosecuted for my crimes under whatever name I call myself at the time.
So what’s the problem? This feels like a strange concoction of appalling customer management, poor excuses – and sexism. Yes: the whole thing is an insult that, I suspect, would not have endured two weeks if it had been inflicted on blokes.
And there’s a clue. I have spent many years working with systems, analysing, developing and streamlining processes. In many, many of the cases I have encountered, companies have real difficulty in ‘changing’ a name because as far as their system is concerned a name is a unique thing: something you have one of at a time and – again in system terms – a personal attribute without a past. Your name is what you are called now.
It is not conceptually difficult to set systems up differently: to maintain a personal history and an audit trail, so that individuals can change names, with some record of previous aliases for checking purposes. Passport offices do so, some benefit systems, too. That would make life that much simpler, less fraught for all those who do undergo name changes: mostly women and the transgendered.
IT systems, however, tend historically to have been designed by men, who have next to no experience of the sheer inconvenience that follows on a change of name. At the same time, they are just as likely to dismiss any complaint about ‘the way things are’ as no more than the usual feminine whinge. After all, its such a small inconvenience, why would anyone ever mind?
Except its inconvenience multiplied many times over for each individual who ever got married, divorced or re-aligned their gender – and several million times that for almost everyone who has ever undergone such a life change.
It’s a gender issue so deeply ingrained within our social mores that half the time we don’t even see it as such. But it’s there all the same. | <urn:uuid:b6654402-a258-4532-9d8b-100e61eb6b09> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://thefword.org.uk/2011/04/not_one_of_your/ | 2020-07-09T21:41:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655901509.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20200709193741-20200709223741-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.967434 | 1,278 | [

Sharon Osborne - My Fake Diary
Sunday, 10 February 2013
Ozzy's been trashing the kitchen for years - breaking stuff and walking into cupboards (literally). I assumed it was because of(a)his alcohol-related brain damage or(b)his spatial awareness problems.
Yesterday he tipped a pan of soup (cold) over the armadillo. Took him to get his eyes tested. Turns out the old geezer's blind as a bat but he refused point blank to wear specs.
I said - Ozzy, you can't see a damn thing! He said Shut it you interfering old slapper.
I love that man.

For at least two decades, generations of participants in Conservative Judaism’s youth movement have played a game in which they compete for points by hooking up with each other.
The game, called the “points system,” has been a widespread part of the culture of United Synagogue Youth since the 1990s, according to multiple alumni who spoke with the Forward. Its rules assign a point value to each member, ages 14 to 18, based on what role the member plays within the USY hierarchy.
A hookup with a regular member is worth one point, according to one version of the rules posted years ago on Facebook and confirmed by a current USY student leader. A hookup with a local chapter president is worth three points. A hookup with a member of the international student board is worth eight points.
That version of the rules awards nine points for hookups with the youth movement’s adult staff members.
Sexual experimentation is a fact of life anywhere teens gather. But the “points system” explicitly links sex to power and status within the youth organization.
USY leadership says that the game is a myth. In a statement, Rabbi Steven Wernick, CEO of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, which controls USY, acknowledged that “isolated incidents of inappropriate behavior” occur on USY programs, but he said USCJ believes “that at this time the point system is more of myth and legend than reality.”
Yet, a current USY student leader interviewed by the Forward who now plays the game said that though less-involved members are not always aware of the “points system,” other USY student leaders keep track of their scores. USY alumni say that the game has been a persistent aspect of USY life for decades.
“It’s this weird situation of everybody knows it exists, but everybody tends to insist that it’s not actually real,” said Raphy Gendler, a freshman at Cornell University who sat on a regional USY board last year.
Amid a cultural moment in which unspoken understandings about sex and consent are being re-examined, the atmosphere around sexuality at USY is now under scrutiny. Earlier this week, USCJ announced an internal investigation after a man wrote on Facebook that a USY leader fondled him at a USY event in the 1980s. USCJ suspended the leader, who until last week was leading youth trips for USY on a contract basis.
The “points system” does not appear to have existed at the time of the alleged incident that spurred USCJ’s investigation. But interviews with USY alumni in recent days have revealed an institutionalized, semi-underground system that operates with the knowledge of USY staff and feeds on peer pressure and teenage sexual anxiety to reinforce the values of in-marriage, leadership hierarchy and Shabbat observance that USY promotes.
Facebook comments indicate that USY may not be the only Jewish youth group that plays a version of the “points system” game. Open Facebook groups and other online mentions related to other Jewish youth groups refer to similar systems with similar rules.
In a statement to the Forward, USCJ said that it had instituted policies and training in 2011 relating to behavioral codes on USY programs. Every USY weekend gathering or retreat includes a discussion about appropriate behavior, and USY participants sign codes of conduct promising to, among other things, not engage in “inappropriate sexual behavior.” Violations of the code of conduct can result in a year ban from USY conventions and summer programs.
“We discuss and teach self-respect, respect for others and acceptable boundaries,” USCJ said.
Former students and staff across decades, genders and regions acknowledged being familiar with the rules of the game. Staff members, many of whom are former youth participants in USY’s programs, appear to have tacitly accepted the game’s existence for years.
“Staff know about it,” the current student leader said. “It’s usually laughed off.”
The rules of the USY “points system” are straightforward: Each member is worth a certain number of points. Rank-and-file members are worth one point. Members of the chapter board are worth two. The international president of the organization, a student elected each year, is worth nine. Hook up with a USY member — a kissing session counts — and you earn the number of points they are worth.
Despite their vulgarity, the game’s rules closely mirror USY’s explicit values. Under the widely acknowledged rules of the “points system,” hooking up with a non-Jew forfeits all the points you have earned. That dovetails with the Conservative movement’s emphasis on Jews marrying Jews, and its opposition to intermarriage. The movement has stuck by this position despite dissent from some rabbinic leaders. Until 2014, USY’s official rules barred student leaders from dating non-Jews.
“Intermarriage is a very widely talked about topic in Conservative Judaism right now with teenagers,” the current USY student leader said. “If you look at the roots of the [points] system, that’s reflected.”
Bonuses awarded under the “points system” for hooking up in Israel or on Shabbat also reinforce USY’s efforts to promote religious observance and Zionism. And the game’s basic ranking system, which awards higher values to high-ranking student leaders, reinforces USY’s rigidly hierarchical organizational structure.
“In retrospect, it was all super creepy,” said one former USY member who was active in the early 2000s. She said that after she was made president of her chapter, other members told her, “You’re now chapter president; this is what you’re worth.”
The writer David Levy, who was active as a student member of USY in the mid-1990s, recalled a meeting of USY’s international youth board at which the organization’s student leaders passed around a piece of paper and asked everyone in the room to write down the number of points he or she had accumulated.
“So much of Jewish youth group culture is about running for and being on boards, getting bigger and better leadership positions,” Levy said. “[In] the point system, the higher your leadership ranking, the more points you’re worth. That is the one and only measure of sexual desirability for this game.”
Another former USY member who later served as a staffer said that in the late 2000s, the game was more of a well-known joke than something members actually kept track of. Still, the former member said that members were very aware of the value that the game assigned to them.
“It was less about how many points you had acquired and more about how many points you were worth,” the person said.
The person acknowledged that the game’s rules mirrored the organization’s values. “There’s [this] weird element that there was something decent within it, despite it being a little bit creepy,” the person said.
None of the people interviewed for this story said that they were aware of students engaging in sexual conduct with staff for the purposes of the game. But the game’s rules make references to staff, including theoretically awarding the highest possible number of points for hooking up with a staff member.
USY has faced sexual misconduct allegations against staff in the past. In 2003, a former USY counselor admitted to molesting four boys on a USY trip in 1997 and was sentenced to nine years in prison. And in 2013, the son of a prominent USY leader accused his deceased father of molesting him and other boys in the 1960s and ’70s.
Recent participants in USY said that the game feeds on a culture of peer pressure around sex within the youth movement. “There’s an immense amount of peer pressure in the community,” the current student leader said. “In some ways a reinforcement of that is you get points and you’re cool if you do it, and you get more points and you’re cooler if you do it with someone important.”
Gendler also said that the game was part of an intense hookup culture at USY. “The points system was part of this obsession with hooking up that was prevalent in USY,” he said.
The current student leader was critical of the culture surrounding the game but defended the game itself. The student said that everyone kept track of his or her own points for fun. “It’s not the reason people hook up,” the student leader said. “People will laugh and [say] like, ‘LOL if I do it I get this many [points]’… but there is no part of this organization that takes it seriously enough where it would be the main motivating factor in getting with someone.”

How to Move on From Being in Unrequited Love
When you fall in love, your feelings are not always reciprocated. Unrequited love can be agonizingly painful and can leave you feeling worthless or unlovable.
You may find that friends or family who have not been through this difficult emotional experience find it hard to take you seriously, or espouse the view that you do not ‘count’ as even being in love if the object of your affection does not love you in return.
Read on to discover the most important steps that you can take towards accepting the validity of your feelings and letting them go.
1) Stop blaming yourself for the fact that you are in this situation:
Although we can choose how to act, we cannot choose how to feel. As a result, falling in love is not a conscious choice that can be made or abstained from depending on whether it is sensible to form a deep attachment to some particular person. You must not blame yourself for having fallen in love.
Equally, however, you must not blame the person you love for not reciprocating your feelings. Perhaps they were already in love with someone else before they met you, or perhaps they enjoy spending time with you but just don’t feel any sexual chemistry.
The person may not know why they don’t reciprocate your feelings, and may indeed wish that they did. Many complicated and interrelated factors play a role in whether we fall in love, and lots of these are at a subconscious or biological level – read more here.
If you spend too much time around the object of your unrequited love, this is likely to prolong and intensify your unhappiness and perhaps artificially sustain your romantic feelings.
As difficult as it can be, try not to feel personally slighted by the fact that your love is not being reciprocated. If you can take it less personally, this will make it much easier to let go (and also much easier to put yourself on the line in your future attempts to start a relationship).
2) Put some distance between yourself and the person you love:
Although it is painful to deliberately cut down the time that you spend around someone who probably brings you a thrill of infatuation and wonder every time you see them, it is for the best that you seriously consider distancing yourself.Note: If you spend too much time around the object of your unrequited love, this is likely to prolong and intensify your unhappiness and perhaps artificially sustain your romantic feelings. You do not need to tell the person that you are trying to put some distance between the two of you; it is possible to just casually and slowly back off a little.
Do not call them as often, or go to places just so that you can see them. When you hear from them, don’t eagerly race to the phone or the computer just so that you can respond and then excitedly wait for their next attempt to contact you. Choose to spend your time with other people, especially close friends who can make you laugh.
If you are good friends with the person who doesn’t reciprocate your love, you can attempt to enter back into a closer friendship with them once you have successfully turned your romantic attentions elsewhere.
3) Realize that you do not need the person you have fallen for:
While love undoubtedly involves a deep sense of yearning, do not mistake this for proof of the fact that you need this other person’s love in order to be happy. You will probably fall in love again many times over the course of your lifetime, and even if you do not this does not mean that you will never feel content or fulfilled.
Think about all the other things that you appreciate having in your life, and about the things that can and sometimes do make you happy in spite of your unrequited love. It is perfectly normal to feel as though your life would have been better had you not been rejected by the person with whom you have fallen in love, but try your best to see it as a temporary impediment to your happiness as opposed to an ominous sign that you will never be happy again.
4) Revel in some of the great things about being single:
Remember that there are substantial perks to being single–ones that many people in committed relationships actually think of with considerable nostalgia. When you are single you have your own space, you are able to structure your time according to your own needs and desires, you can make decisions without answering to anyone else, and you can choose to date or sleep with lots of different new people (more).
Push yourself to take up a new hobby or interest. Learn how to do something that has always interested you, or start attending new classes.
Think realistically about how things would have been if you really had ended up in a relationship with the object of your affections. See their flaws and problematic personality traits for what they are.
Instead of wistfully dreaming of fun holidays and unrealistically perfect sex, realize how the person’s negative traits and incompatible interests or desires might have impacted both you and your autonomy on a daily basis.
5) Leave yourself with little time or introspection:
When you are in intense emotional pain, it is tempting to just stay in bed and focus on your negative feelings about yourself and your situation.
However, it will be much easier to get over the sadness of unrequited love if you make sure that you stay extremely busy. Push yourself to take up a new hobby or interest. Learn how to do something that has always interested you, or start attending new classes (where you will also have the opportunity to meet new people).
If all else fails and you find that you are just as miserable after months have passed, consider seeing a counselor or a psychologist. There is no shame in asking for help when you are struggling with huge and complex emotions, and with time and effort you will eventually be happy again.

Have you recently said or thought any of the following? Enough! Now what? Don’t they get it? Why can’t this be simple? Is there no common sense?
You’re not alone. Many businesses, communities and organizations are saying the same thing and saying it often. But the one question not often asked is “how do I/we change it?”
Sonya Parker wrote, “I will no longer accept apologies from you. I will only accept action.”
If you’re ready to explore the ‘how’ then your ready for our help.
We work with a wide range of clients from the real estate developer that needs to push forward stalled permits to a community that is ready to move beyond planning its vision to building its future to the organization that needs to set higher value goals to invigorate a declining and divesting membership.
Toyer Strategic Consulting understands the strategies and implementation necessary to push permits without being pushy, transform planning into project management and switch gears from goal setting to goals scored. We are a company that focuses on action.

Robots and liability issues: the future regulatory framework
by Inline Policy on 30 Jun 2016
Robots are rapidly gaining public visibility as their development accelerates in conjunction with recent innovations in the domains of artificial intelligence, machine learning, machine-to-machine and machine-to-human interaction.
The annual increase in the uptake of industrial and service robots is rapidly becoming a subject of political debate both in national and European fora. There is currently no specific legislation in place regulating the design, the applications, the use and the characteristics of robots.
The European Parliament has recently begun debating a proposal that calls on the European Commission to take the initiative and propose the introduction of a regulatory framework in the field of robotics.
A clear definition
The debate at academic, industrial and political levels acknowledges that, in order to propose a regulatory framework for robots, it is first necessary to agree on what the term “robot” means. This includes, providing a definition which then constitutes the basis for identifying the ethical and legal issues that will be at the core of the political debate.
Indeed, the term “robot” can mean different things to different stakeholders. Specifically, virtual robots, softbots, nanorobots, biorobots, bionics, androids, humanoids, cyborgs, drones and exoskeletons are just some of the terms currently used to designate a robot, or some aspects of robotics, in scientific and popular languages.
Let us take a step back and see what the basis for the current political debate is.
A draft report recently published by the European Parliament calls on the Commission to propose a common European definition of smart autonomous robots and their subcategories by taking into consideration the following characteristics: it should acquire autonomy through the use of sensors and/or by exchanging data with its environment (inter-connectivity); it trades and analyses data; it has a physical support, a body, of any shape; it adapts its behaviours and actions to its environment; and finally it is capable of self-learning, though this last criteria is indicated as optional.
It is then possible to classify robots based on some characteristics and features:
- Use or task, meaning the specific function the robot is designed to perform. Conventionally, applications are divided into two macro categories: service and industrial applications. A service robot operates in semi or complete autonomy in order to perform services for the benefit and well-being of humans and equipment, excluding any manufacturing operations. An industrial robot is defined by the International Organisation for Standardisation as an automatically controlled, reprogrammable, multipurpose manipulator programmable in three or more axes.
- The environment, or the space where the robot carries out its activity. There are robots that perform actions in a physical environment, such as space, air, land, water, the human body (or other biological environments). However, some other robots operate in non-physical environments, known as bots. These are gaining great popularity since their uptake by several large online platforms, including Facebook, Google and Microsoft.
- The body, as robots can be distinguished by whether they are embodied or disembodied.
- Machine to human interaction. This category takes into account the relationship between robots and human beings and it includes modes of interaction, interfaces, roles, and proximity between humans and robots.
- The degree of autonomy, which specifies how independent the robot is from an outside human supervisor in the execution of its task in its environment.
A clear definition of what is considered to be a robot is the first step that regulators need to undertake in the process of designing a regulatory framework. This is because the benefits stemming from the uptake of robots are nuanced by a set of risks, generated by the features mentioned above, related to human safety, privacy, integrity, human dignity, autonomy, data ownership and liability.
Liability related issues
In 1942, Isaac Asimov, an American author of sci-fi novels and a professor of Biochemistry, was the first to try to devise a set of rules applicable to robots in a hypothetical future.
Although these laws are derived from fictional narrative, they are regarded by many as the most coherent attempt so far to establish a framework of laws in which smart independent robots can operate. These laws state that:
1) a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm;
2) a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law;
3) a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
Another law, added later by Asimov, states that ‘a robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm’.
The European Parliament has said that Asimov’s Laws can be taken as the starting point for the current debate about a regulatory framework for robotics. This is because, until the moment when robots become or are made self-aware and an appropriate legislative framework is in place, Asimov's Laws must be regarded as being directed at the designers, producers and operators of robots, since those laws cannot be converted into machine code.
Liability is the core issue in the political debate: who is ultimately responsible for actions, carried out by a robot, that cause damage to a person, equipment, goods, or animals? It is necessary for policy makers to devise a framework for, first of all, identifying the ultimately responsible parties and then measuring their liability. One proposed option is to establish a framework for liability levels that is proportionate to the level of instruction given to the robot, and of its autonomy. This would translate into a system in which the greater a robot's learning capability or autonomy is, the lower other parties’ responsibility should be, and the longer a robot's “education” has lasted, the greater the responsibility of its “teacher” would be.
The more autonomous a robot is, the less it can be considered a simple tool in the hands of other actors (such as the manufacturer, the owner, the user, etc.). For this reason, the current ordinary rules on liability are insufficient to deal with the emergence of robots. Mady Delvaux MEP, rapporteur for the EP Draft report on civil law rules for robotics, has called for new rules which focus on how a machine can be held – partly or entirely – responsible for its acts or omissions. As a consequence, it becomes more and more urgent to address the fundamental question of whether robots should possess a legal status: robots' autonomy raises the question of their nature in the light of existing legal categories – of whether they should be regarded as natural persons, legal persons or objects – or whether a new category should be created, with its own specific features and implications as regards the attribution of rights and duties, including liability for damage.
The problem is that, under the current legal framework, robots cannot be held liable per se for acts or omissions that cause damage to third parties. The existing rules on liability cover cases where the cause of the robot’s act or omission can be traced back to a specific human agent such as the manufacturer, the owner or the user, and where that agent could have foreseen and avoided the robot’s harmful behaviour.
The draft report also proposes that a possible solution to the complexity of allocating responsibility for damage caused by increasingly autonomous robots could be a mandatory insurance scheme. However, unlike the insurance system for road traffic, where the insurance covers human acts and technical failures, an insurance system for robotics could be based on the manufacturer’s perceived responsibility for the autonomous robots it produces.
Furthermore, the draft report proposes that the future legislative instrument should provide for the application of strict liability as a rule, thus requiring only proof that damage has occurred and the establishment of a causal link between the harmful behaviour of the robot and the damage suffered by the injured party.
It is of vital strategic importance for the manufacturing sector as a whole, not just robot designers and producers, to follow these new regulatory developments very closely and engage with key decision-makers at European and national levels well.
For robots manufacturers, the risk otherwise is that they will find themselves forced to comply with rules that could impact their future without having a strategy in place to manage change.
For the wider manufacturing sector, the risk is that the uptake of robots and the innovations that it can trigger might be hampered by a legislative framework not adequately tailored to the priorities of businesses. The potential of this technology is huge, and both innovators and regulators will need to engage in discussions to reap the benefits of the robotics era, whilst minimising the risks. | <urn:uuid:9033ff32-14fb-4812-ba7d-0af391c2a574> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.inlinepolicy.com/blog/robots-and-liability-issues-the-future-regulatory-framework | 2020-07-13T12:05:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657143365.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713100145-20200713130145-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.952619 | 1,784 | [

The California Delta has been fishing up and down if your tossing a Frog around! The last 30 days the delta has been blasted by many different brands of top water Frogs for the UFC and the Snag Proof Open. Some days the bite has been good and some days it has been tough. The evening Bite has by far been the best, but you can pick up fish all day long if your patient and know what to look for. Fish are from Post Spawn to Summer mode and in many cases not where you would normally catch them this time of year. There has been a lot of short bites and missed hooksets. With that being said when you connect it can be a good one! We caught fish mostly in the current the last 30 days and all in Open water. The mat or Cheese bite has not been on when were on the water. Stay in the current for the most Bites. Fish slower, these fish have been pressured and boat traffic on the weekends has been crazy. Popping Frogs in River 2 Sea, Snag Proof and Furbit the Frog by Optimum baits , Bleeding Frogs and Bobby’s Perfect frog have all been working. Each day the fish change a little and you have to adapt, Dark frogs early and late and white frogs in mid day. Use your favorite Frog with your Spiderwire and go have some fun!

There are many important parts of life. One aspect of life is making memories and on the flip side is reminiscing on the memories made. Hubby and I work so much and are so busy with our jobs, animals, home, church, and just general life that its hard to find time to make and then reminisce on memories. We try to make a point of doing something special each year on our anniversary and doing something different we haven’t experienced together before. This year we went to Myrtle Beach.
We both had been to Myrtle before but never together. And we had not done most of the activities we chose when we had been there with friends or family before. We went horse back riding on the beach (we had only ridden on the beach in Hawaii before), we went to a beautiful garden, flew a kite (this was our first time doing that on this beach), went on the sky wheel, played at different putt putt golf courses, and I even took hubby to the South of the Boarder as he hadn’t been there before. So over the next few posts I will share some of the things we got to do on our long weekend. I hope you will enjoy our memories with us 🙂 | <urn:uuid:38a63b2f-3462-4ebe-92d1-851e4b656948> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://seasonsgirl.org/2015/11/03/memories/ | 2020-07-15T11:54:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657167808.91/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715101742-20200715131742-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.982868 | 254 | [

Ectopic thyroid is a rare entity, and simultaneous presence of ectopic thyroid gland at two different sites is even rarer with only 42 reported cases in world literature. We report a case of a 14-year-old girl with dual thyroid ectopia at the base of tongue and at the level of hyoid bone. The patient presented with a midline swelling in the neck with hypothyroidism. High-resolution ultrasonography of the neck revealed absence of thyroid tissue in its normal location and presence of thyroid tissue with changes of adenomatous colloid goiter at the level of hyoid bone. A technetium 99-m pertechnetate scan revealed two hyperfunctioning foci of ectopic thyroid tissue − one at the base of the tongue and other at the level of the hyoid bone.

| Introduction|| |
Ectopic thyroid means the presence of thyroid gland or tissue out of its normal anatomical pretracheal location. The most common presentation of ectopic thyroid gland is lingual thyroid. Ninety percent of ectopic thyroid cases are found at the base of the tongue. The remaining 10% are located in the suprahyoid, infrahyoid, and prelaryngeal regions along the thyroglossal line, beginning from the tongue base to the normal gland location; aberrant thyroid tissue can sometimes be seen in the mediastinal region, esophagus, larynx, gallbladder, duodenum, lung, and heart. We report a case of a 14-year-old girl with dual ectopic thyroid.
A 14-year-old girl presented to the department of the radiodiagnosis and imaging with midline anterior neck swelling in the region of hyoid. Palpation revealed a well defined, smooth mass moving with deglutition in midline. The normal thyroid gland was not palpable. No other mass or lymphadenopathy was found in the rest of the neck region. Her thyroid function tests showed primary hypothyroidism with TSH 6.23 mIU/L (0.25–5.0), T3 2.11 nmol/L (0.92–2.33), and T4 128.46 nmol/L (60–120).
High-resolution sonography of neck at the site of the swelling revealed a well defined, echogenic, solid mass at the level of hyoid bone with presence of internal vascularity [[Figure 1]a and [Figure 1]b]. There was absence of thyroid gland in its normal location [Figure 2]. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of the neck mass showed sheets of follicular epithelial cells with macrophages in a background of blood mixed with thick and thin colloid suggesting features of colloid goiter with cystic changes. A technetium (99mTc) pertechnetate thyroid scan revealed uptake in lingual region and at the level of the hyoid bone consistent with dual ectopic thyroid [Figure 3]. On the basis of the above findings, diagnosis of dual ectopic thyroid tissue in the lingual and hyoid region in midline was established with absence of ectopic thyroid. She has since been put on levothyroxine daily and is under a regular follow-up [Figure 4].

| Discussion|| |
Ectopic thyroid is a congenital aberration, resulting from abnormal migration of the thyroid gland. Simultaneous presence of ectopic thyroid at two different sites is an unusual entity, and the exact incidence is not known. The prevalence of ectopic thyroid tissue ranges between 7 and 10%. Lingual thyroid is the most common ectopic thyroid accounting for 90% of all cases with a prevalence between 1 : 100,000 and 1 : 300,000 and a clinical incidence between 1 : 4000 and 1 : 10,000.
The exact pathogenesis of dual ectopic thyroid is still not known; however, genetic factors have been implicated with thyroid gland morphogenesis and differentiation. Mutation in genes has not been associated with human thyroid ectopy so far. The different pathologies that affect normal thyroid gland can also affect ectopic thyroid tissue.
Ectopic thyroid is more commonly encountered in women, with a female-to-male ratio of 4:1. It can present at any age but is usually encountered during the second decade of life. Approximately 70% of the cases with dual ectopic thyroid do not have any thyroid tissue in its normal location. In the present case, there was no thyroid gland at its anatomical position; however, the patient was hypothyroid.
Majority of the cases of ectopic thyroid gland are asymptomatic. Symptoms may appear following enlargement of thyroid gland during periods of stress. They can vary according to location of the ectopic thyroid tissue and include dysphonia, dysphagia, dyspnea, neck mass, and altered thyroid status. Familial dual ectopic thyroids with perihyoid ectopic thyroid and lingual thyroid have also been described. Malignant transformation of ectopic thyroid tissue is very rare. Most of such cases are papillary carcinomas that should be identified from the metastases of a usual thyroid carcinoma.
High-resolution sonography and neck computerized tomography (CT) are important modalities in forming a differential diagnosis for midline neck swelling. Thyroid scan with 99mTc pertechnetate is important for diagnosing ectopic thyroid tissue and also detect presence of other sites of thyroid tissue. Treatment may be conservative with substitutive hormone treatment in patients with mild symptoms and surgery for patients showing clinical signs of upper airway obstruction or with a lesion showing signs of infection or malignant degeneration.
| Conclusion|| |
Ectopic thyroid is a rare entity but must always be considered in the differential diagnosis of a midline neck swelling. The possibility of another ectopic focus should always be kept in mind when an ectopic thyroid is encountered and must be evaluated. Proper diagnosis can help in avoiding unnecessary surgery in an asymptomatic ectopic thyroid gland as it may be the only functioning thyroid tissue in the body.

Masculine & Feminine Side
by John and Micki Baumann
The Masculine Side:
The masculine side deals with the strength of the self. It is what causes you to act either timidly or self-confidently. The thing that is most important in determining the strength of the masculine side, is the value that you, at a deep level, place on yourself. This is a value you know within yourself that you have really and truly earned. It could be thought of as a sort of self esteem. Placing a high value on yourself affects your whole being and helps you feel strong and confident in operating your life. And, in the reverse direction, when you are able to operate your life confidently, things can really turn around for you because you get more out of life, and this automatically makes you place a higher value on yourself. You can build the masculine side through progress and small wins, through positive reinforcement, by practicing, and by doing things and generally taking an active part in operating your life. If you have a strong masculine side, you are in charge of your own life because you are internally controlled. You tend to look people in the eye. You stand straight, and you usually command attention when you walk into a room, whether you say anything or not. This happens because of the strength within. If you have a weak masculine side, you also have a lot of doubts. You doubt yourself, your abilities, your capability to do things. Things intimidate you and you don’t move forward well. You are afraid to put yourself out there because you know you are going to fail, so you don’t even try to accomplish things. If you have a weak masculine side, you often feel the need to show off your attributes and accomplishments, whereas if you have a strong masculine side you are self-confident, and don’t feel it is necessary to show off. The masculine side is full of things that you have to be strong and self-confident in order to do. These include being able to claim your basic rights, such as the right to feel free to operate independently of others, and the right to belong or fit into society in any way you please. Claiming your rights also includes being able to stand up to people who try to take away your rights, either by force or intimidation, or by manipulation, or by trying to hinder you in choosing your own direction in life. The masculine side also includes the ability to take risks when appropriate, to be decisive when necessary, and to focus or concentrate in order to get something done. In addition, it includes being able to figure out how to accomplish things so you can get more of what you want out of life. Part of this is being able to figure out how to operate your life in a responsible manner, how to reason without distorting reality and without fooling yourself, and how to accurately weigh probabilities so that you know the most likely outcome to expect in situations you come across.
The Feminine Side:
Like the masculine side, the basis for the feminine side is also a value. But instead of a being a value you place on yourself, the feminine side is based, at the same deep level, on a value that you place on others. It could be thought of as a sort of other esteem. The value you place on others affects your whole being. If you have a strong feminine side and place a high value on others, you are often giving and unselfish. You usually know what is good for people, and you tend to operate in ways that helps others get what they want out of life. You happily let people operate their own life without interference from you, but when asked, you are also willing to help by supporting, cooperating, and giving advice. People feel comfortable with you because you give of who you are without pushing yourself on others. If you have a strong feminine side, people also feel comfortable being around you because there is no selfishness for them to detect. If you have a weak feminine side, you place a low value on others, and you are not a giving person. Instead, you are selfish and greedy, and tend to keep yourself closed off from people. You are isolated because you don’t want to share yourself, or anything you have. Also, you don’t take responsibility for yourself, but blame others for your problems. Although the feminine side is generally not as well understood as the masculine side, the negative or selfish aspect of the feminine side is something almost everybody recognizes, especially in others. In fact, it may be the most easily recognizable characteristic of all, because of the discomfort factor involved in being around a selfish person. If someone has a weak feminine side, it could also be said that he has a strong dark side (the evil or negatively motivated side). The feminine side is always very weak in someone with a strong dark side, while the masculine side can be anywhere from weak to strong. In the extreme situation where a person has an almost nonexistent feminine side, he will often act in ways that could be considered evil in nature, because he acts only on his own behalf, and does it to such an extent that he doesn’t care how much his actions hurt others in the process. If you have a strong feminine side, you often behave in ways that are considered feminine in nature. You do things you have to be giving and unselfish in order to do. These include recognizing the basic right of all people to use their own will to operate their own life, for example, by allowing them freedom to operate independently, freedom to fit in where and how they want, and freedom to choose what things to confront or face up to in life. Allowing people their basic rights also includes allowing them to control their own life without interference from you, to choose their own obligations in life without being manipulated by you, and to choose their own path or direction in life without hindrance from you. The feminine side also includes having enthusiasm and zest for life, and recognizing what things are worth getting enthusiastic about. And it includes having the persistence and tenacity to stay with things to the end, while still knowing when to give up on something if your energy is better used elsewhere. In addition, the feminine side also includes being kind, compassionate, patient, responsive to the needs of others, and it includes knowing how much energy you can put into each of these without hurting yourself by draining your own energy.
The masculine/feminine or yin/yang balance is extremely important, almost more important than how much you have grown as a person. Even a less evolved person, if he is balanced, treats others the same way he treats himself. And that is what balance is all about. If the masculine side is much stronger than the feminine side, you tend to be pushy and take unfair advantage of people. On the other hand, if the feminine side is much stronger than the masculine side, you tend to let others take advantage of you, and you become a doormat for people. How can you tell which side is stronger for you? The balance between fear and anger in your life is a good indication. If the masculine side is stronger than the feminine side, you tend to feel anger more easily than fear. The greater the imbalance in this direction, the more easily you will feel unjustly treated by others, and the more easily you will become angry and aggressive with them, because you have an unrealistically high opinion of your own rights compared to those of others. Conversely, if the feminine side is stronger than the masculine side, you tend to feel fear more easily than anger. The greater the imbalance in this direction, the more easily you will feel you are treating others unjustly, and the more easily you will become fearful and defensive, because you have an unrealistically low opinion of your own rights as compared to those of others. Also, the greater the imbalance in this direction, the more easily you will become angry with yourself, because you don’t like your low level of self-confidence, and you inherently realize you are not living up to your potential. Rights: The masculine side determines in general how you feel about your own rights, while the feminine side determines how you feel about the rights of others. If the masculine side is stronger than the feminine side, you tend to think of your own rights as being stronger or somehow more valid than the rights of others. This means you will slant those rights in your own favor and will sometimes take advantage of other people’s rights to the extent of your masculine/feminine imbalance. Conversely, if the feminine side is stronger than the masculine side, you tend to think of other people’s rights as being stronger or somehow more valid than yours. This means you are likely to give up some of your rights in order to give someone else more than his rights actually entitle him to, and consequently, you will sometimes be taken advantage of. If you have a good balance between your masculine and feminine sides, you will generally exercise your own rights when you want, but you will also allow others the full measure of their rights.
The Balance and Greed:
If you have an imbalance toward the masculine side, that is, a stronger masculine than feminine side, it means you place a lower value on others than on yourself. This often shows itself as greed, which is a form of selfishness, and a natural consequence of this kind of imbalance. Greed produces the desire to want more than your fair share of things. It is wanting things at the expense of others. A greedy person usually makes his gains by exploiting others. Greed is the opposite of generosity, since generosity results from wanting everyone to have enough of everything. Greed is a form of selfishness, and is one of the ways that an imbalance shows itself. Sexuality and the Masculine/Feminine Balance: The stronger the masculine side, the stronger is your sex drive, and the more aggressive you are sexually. The stronger the feminine side, the more giving you are sexually. Also, the stronger the feminine side, the greater is your capacity to really enjoy sex when the circumstances are right. This is why selfish people generally don’t enjoy sex very much. So it can be seen that the best lovers are people whose masculine and feminine sides are both strong. The Historic Dominance of the Masculine Side: The masculine side is the side that everybody knows and understands. All through time, people have had to develop the masculine side in order to be able to survive and thrive in the physical sense. Many books have been written about developing the self esteem and self-confidence of the masculine side. There have also been many “success” programs such as Scientology, Est, Lifespring, etc. These programs develop the masculine “I can do it” attitude, and they are effective as far as they go. They are good for people with a stronger feminine side and a weaker masculine side, because what they teach helps that kind of person achieve balance. But for people who are balanced in this way, or who already have a strong masculine side, these programs often create an imbalance, or add to an already existing imbalance. This is because they develop the masculine side while ignoring the feminine. And it is precisely because the feminine side has been largely neglected, that the masculine side is so much better understood. Dominance of the Masculine Side in Business: Business has always operated from the completely masculine concept of the bottom line, and not from the feminine concept of existing in order to do what is good for people by benefiting those it serves. The desire to be powerful has had a large part in this, and has led to a tolerance and even encouragement of the idea that power over others in small but insidious forms is acceptable, especially where money is concerned. And money is power, in the sense that, if you have money you can buy the time of others and have them do your bidding. This completely masculine orientation has kept business from operating in a balanced way that could be good for the people served by business, in addition to being good for the bottom line.
Liberation and the Developing Masculine Side in Women:
Women have also been working on developing the masculine side, sometimes at the expense of the feminine side. Liberation has helped many women develop the masculine side by teaching them to stand up for their rights and not be coerced in any way. This has gone a long way in changing the old traditional viewpoint in which the man was the boss and the woman was the slave. The problem is that, in some areas, liberation has placed men in the role of the enemy, and this has prevented many women from using their feminine side in interacting with men. This is because liberation has taught some women to feel free to choose only to withhold from men, but not to feel free to choose to give unselfishly to men. True liberation for a woman is freedom to choose how to operate her own life. This includes the freedom to choose to give unselfishly to another person as well as to withhold giving from them.
Technology, Spiritual Development, and the Global Masculine/Feminine Balance:
When we look at the development of our species as a whole, technological development could be compared to the masculine side, while spiritual development could be compared to the feminine side. And just as balance is necessary for an individual, it is equally important for us as a species to maintain a balance between our technological and spiritual development. At the present time, the masculine or technological side is too strong compared to the feminine or spiritual side. This is a dangerous position to be in because we have technology that is capable of great destruction, but we are hardly developed enough to use it wisely. There is an expression that says “Technology and human nature are sometimes a volatile mix”. This volatility is a result of the imbalance that occurs by having too much technology for our level of spiritual evolution. To correct this imbalance, it is necessary to develop the feminine side and bring it into closer balance with the masculine side, both individually and as a species. This will allow us to use our technology without misusing it, not only in areas of conflict or war, but also in areas of caring for our planet in a way that is good for her, and consequently good for us. Only then will we no longer have to feel that “Whenever we pull a technological rabbit out of a hat, we end up being disappointed by the droppings it leaves behind”.
Balance Requires Developing the Feminine Side:
For reasons of survival, liberation, business, and technology, most people have been able to develop the masculine side to a greater extent than the feminine. It may be that it is just easier to learn the lessons of the masculine side, but the result is that, as a species, we are left with a serious masculine/feminine imbalance. And it is a dangerous imbalance because it is a formula for destruction and hurting people. The time has come to develop the feminine side and achieve a greater balance in this area. It is time to recognize that the feminine side has value, and that its value lies in knowing and doing what is GOOD FOR PEOPLE. It is time to recognize that it is good for people to give and help each other, because that creates less turmoil in the world. It is time to recognize that at this moment in our evolution, most people are here to learn to develop the feminine side, because that is what will give us balance. | <urn:uuid:580ae6da-f680-4d07-8be9-a51d082fcd2c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://qudrahealing.com/category/energy-emfs-hefs/page/2/ | 2020-07-04T08:29:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886095.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704073244-20200704103244-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.971234 | 3,166 | [

AEC was now in the position of Application Service Provider. The success of the project generated additional requests from their retailer partners. Managers of both large and small operations found the system useful. Larger clients were able to receive data they could not get from their own Information Technology departments. Small operations for the first time had visibility on their activity in useful reports.
Vinod Badami discussed the need for a project champion in his article on designing a successful business support strategy. The project champion “provides the political support for the project” (2003). The champion was the retailer, which is what AEC wanted to hear.
AEC had made the decision to start simple on the deployment and now they were receiving requests for many new reports. Instead of just madly creating reports, AEC entered phase II of the project. The Data Warehouse and CDF teams looked for a theme of the requests so they could create a true Business Intelligence system. The first phase helped the managers running the storefront. Now, a new audience was looking to gain access to this great information system.
The new requests centered on information for managing the financial functions of an Internet store. Reports for managing profit and loss on product and shipping were needed. Information on sales tax collections by tax state was necessary so companies could report and pay the appropriate government entities.
Companies were looking to move away from the traditional EDI files they had been receiving, but not always using. It was almost amusing that companies would ask AEC for reports when they already had the data available. But many companies did not have the resources to process all of the information and often relied on the summary billing and other information they received from AEC.
The Extranet Business Intelligence Reporting System, at least for small and medium size companies, was eliminating the EDI status and invoice files that had been generated for years. This is consistent with the 1998 prediction by Andrew Sadler-Smith, UK managing director of Novell. In an article by Linda Leung, he stated “Extranets will be popular because they will enable firms to link with more organizations, instead of just those that can afford EDI” (1998). Instead of receiving raw data for manipulation, companies now received useful information for making decisions. Reports, such as the one in figure 4, now provide real value.
Upgrade and Implementation Plan
Phase II of the project is centering around financial based reports. AEC is working to ensure that all of the information is fully auditable and that it can eventually replace the “official” billing of traditional EDI. The goal is satisfy another sector of the client’s team fully endearing them to AEC for a long term partnership. The new sector is the financial team at the client retailer.
The various reports AEC is developing will show details on profit and loss, show reports on product categories and even merchandise not owned by AEC. AEC is also structuring the systems so charges not previously associated with orders, such as monthly maintenance fees, can be incorporated into the reports and aggregated across the orders.
Business Objects recently released a new version of the WebIntelligence product. The new version has many standard “new version” things such as improved performance, improved security and easier usage. However, it also provides some extraordinary enhancements, too.
Users will soon have the ability to “drill down” as they analyze the reports. In the past a report was run to show sales on a daily basis, and a second report was run to examine the details of a specific day. The users will be able to run a weekly summary report and “drill down” directly into the details of a particular day, and then drill into information about products or consumers from that day. This is a major step in enhancing the “Business Intelligence” of the system. | <urn:uuid:9c701596-a0bc-45ac-9a8e-baf5c7b378aa> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.3deers.com/who-we-are/technical-papers/extranet-case-study/expansion/ | 2020-07-04T10:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886095.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704073244-20200704103244-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.97356 | 791 | [

When interviewers ask me why I chose UCT as my tertiary institution of choice, my standard answer is always “Because it is the best university in Africa.” After all, it is the only university in Africa to make it to the top 200 of the World University Rankings. But what does it actually mean? Was it a true reflection on the standard of education or was the score more biased towards research than student enrichment?
Having been at UCT for almost three years, I can safely say my undergraduate experience has not been rainbows, butterflies and unicorn poop. In fact, my journey (thus far) has been plagued by incompetent lecturers (who were really students with a distinct lack of communication skills) and sub-par course secretaries who could do with some additional computer training (to be evidenced below).
As part of the department’s competency framework, we are required to complete course evaluations for our subjects. Every course uses the same template, so it really boggles my mind when something like this happens:
Of course, at this point, I realise everyone is probably urging me to use my common sense. First radio button means ‘Yes’, second means ‘No’. Except, when I hovered my cursor over the first radio button, a “No” box popped up; when I hovered over the second radio button – nothing. I suppose credit must be given for the fact that they actually bothered conducting these evaluations. Nothing permeates the message ‘We Care About Our Students’ as well as misaligned columns.
By now, you must be wondering what ‘Famous Cracks’ is doing in the title… I’m getting there – and no, it has nothing to do with fat people’s butt-cracks (contrary to what Google search might tell you). One of the management accounting lecturers emailed us with a nice real-life example (sort of) to a question we did on Risk and Uncertainty. I won’t bore you with the details, but the gist of the question dealt with concrete floors and their susceptibility to crackings under aging and improper packing.
And so, his email contained pictures of a famous crack in a concrete floor. The question was to find out where this building is, why is the crack famous, and how it was made. I got the answer after a couple of Google searches — Do you know what this famous crack is? | <urn:uuid:5e54f459-565d-48d6-84ec-03d3a3622b71> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://poetrygirl.blog/tag/university-ranking/ | 2020-07-06T03:23:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655890092.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706011013-20200706041013-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.954769 | 507 | [

A very interesting artcile in ArsTechnica shows that we’re still an XP world, but that dominiation is winding down. Windows 7 is now on 1/5 of all desktops, a feat never reached by Vista, as noted by Emil Protalinski.
Obviously attrition has been showing its head, and that’s going to continue to increase. Still, what’s the big advantage to Windows 7 vs. XP? Yes, apps are optimized, and hardware is more than sufficient, but what is the killer reason to make the OS change?
64-bit is a good reason I suppose, but for the average user it’s just not a noticable change (how important is 64-bit for Facebook)?
I’m beginning to wonder if Win7 will surpass 50% by the time Windows 8 goes to Release Candidate. I’m still hoping to see a huge advantage to Windows 8 – the feature I just can’t live without. At this point I wouldn’t even care if it came from Cupertino first – just give us something awesome.
I’m optimistic – Microsoft has surprised before. | <urn:uuid:5eea65e7-05e0-4b18-9d5c-5c3f535d0207> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.pdq.com/blog/windows-7-in-an-xp-world/ | 2020-07-06T03:56:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655890092.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706011013-20200706041013-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.941159 | 242 | [

Fishing has been up and down the last week. Last few days have been good, everyone is eating plenty of fish and bringing home their limits.
We are fishing about 9 miles out from the washout in 32 feet of water. Smaller presentations and deadsticks with plain hooks have been producing well over the last few days.
Electronics are key to icing your limit, as we are seeing a lot of suspended fish coming through.
Overall fishing is good, so don’t waste any more time and book your trip while there are still spots available. | <urn:uuid:9ed1f4ae-6ca1-4ef1-b2ee-e257547078f7> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://sweetsfishing.com/2013/01/lake-of-the-woods-fishing-report-1092013/ | 2020-07-08T05:13:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896374.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708031342-20200708061342-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.970575 | 115 | [

Utilizing Corrugated Wares to Explore Regional Variations in the Virgin Branch Puebloan Culture
80th Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology
First page number:
Last page number:
This poster will examine the variation of corrugated ceramics from the Virgin Branch Puebloan sites located on the Shivwits Plateau and in the lowland region of the Moapa Valley. Variation between these two regions is examined, as well as changes in corrugated designs over time and differences between wares. These data allow us to evaluate patterns of social interaction, trading networks and learning interactions between sites and regions.

One of the most effective ways to hone your writing skills is simply to keep writing! There are many opportunities for a writer these days to take part in writing competitions the world over, thanks largely to the power of the internet. A budding writer keen on improving his skills and image as a writer will seize the most appropriate opportunities as often as he can. This does not mean, of course, that one participates indiscriminately in every writing competition one comes across. That would be a stupid thing to do and extremely counter-productive.

It looks like congrats are in order for TW-singer Rainie Yang and her C-singer fiancee Li Rong Hao. The two are dominating the Mandarin-speaking newspapers today after a C-netizen spotted and photographed the two entering into the He Fei City (capital of Anhui Province) registrar’s office to get what appears to be a marriage license. The two officially announced their coupledom and engagement two months ago but have been unofficially dating for three plus years based on tabloid coverage. When pressed on this news, their reply was simply “Thank you for your interest and care” so I guess it’s a yes and leave us alone m’kay response.

The Brooklyn Grange is the leading rooftop farming and intensive green roofing business in the US. They operate the world’s largest rooftop soil farms, located on two roofs in New York City, and grow over 50,000 lbs of organically-cultivated produce per year. In addition to growing and distributing fresh local vegetables and herbs, Brooklyn Grange also provides urban farming and green roof consulting and installation services to clients worldwide, and they partner with numerous non-profit organizations throughout New York to promote healthy and strong local communities.
Today ANASTASIA COLE PLAKIAS author of The Farm on the Roof: What Brooklyn Grange Taught Us about Entrepreneurship, Community, and Growing a Sustainable Business! shares her journey with us!
Tell us a little bit about yourself.
I love the context! It’s exciting to hear when folks have some connection to Brooklyn and NYC, because you have an idea of the space constraints we deal with as urban farmers. We really don’t have a lot of space. That’s really where the cofounders of this project were starting up a commercial scale rooftop farm. We were all practicing urban agriculture as a hobby in small spaces.
I had a friend who had a restaurant called Roberta’s in Bushwhack and they wanted to grow some food for the restaurant, for the kitchen. So they built raised beds on the top of some shipping containers in the backyard and they actually house Heritage Radio Network, so there’s some connection there on the internet airwaves… so we’er growing just a little bit of herbs, mostly garnishing things and when we did the math on how much time we spent to build them and cultivate and there’s not that much output.
We realized this might not make that much sense we needed to Scale Up! Of course that’s so difficult to do in cities. My partner Ben had opened a small farm, 6000 square feet in Brooklyn, Eagle Street Rooftop farm, I call it small because our second far here at the Brooklyn Navy yards is 65,000 sq. feet. So Eagle Street by comparison is a bit smaller, at the time we thought look at all that space!
6,000 feet for all of you ground level farms.We’re talking a fraction of an acre. An acre is 42000- or 43000 sq feet. (43,560) So size is truly in the eye of the beholder. At the scale we were producing was much more of a hobby. We wanted to prove that urban agriculture could be practiced as a business and is worthy of investment and could be replicated all over rooftops, all over cities, all over the world!
Tell me about your first gardening experience?
So, this is a funny one, I grew up in the west village in Manhattan. I obviously wasn’t exposed to much to gardening in my urban childhood. The limit of my experience of having my hands in the soil, where we grew lima beans in elementary my school and burying the family hamsters and parakeets in the tree pits outside our apartment building. That was pretty much how often I got my hands in the dirt.
But I was fortunate to have a mother who took the time and had the luxury between her part time schedule to shop and cook with my sister and myself. She would take us to the farmer’s market for our vegetables, and to the butchers’s shop for our meat. She took us to the fish monger for our fish.
So I really did have a very different experience with food when I was growing up then so many americans who do that one-stop shopping at the supermarket. And aren’t as connected because of that to the source of our products. Even so, if you were to ask me where did our food come from?
Our fish came from Sandra, Sandra came from Montauk, that was pretty much the extent of it. Where did our produce come from? Our produce came from Gary and Gary came from the Hudson Valley, butI didn’t have an concept what that meant.
It wasn’t til I went to school in Poughkeepsie in the Hudson Valley Vassar, I walked into the cafeteria and I expected to see what I saw at the Union Square Green Market in September, a bounty of fresh ripe Heirloom tomatoes, and crisp greens and the first cooler weather brassicas. Instead what I saw was iceberg lettuce that had been shipped from thousands of miles away on big contracts. That was the beginning of the wakeup call for me and the realization of just what a privileged life I live. Just how broken our food system really was.
So I just have to ask are you millennial?
IDK, it seems like who you ask. I’m 32. I’m sliding in there if I’m in there at all, but we do work with a number of our team members who are in their mid twenties? I feel like I’m down with the millennials. I’m in with the abbrev.. I feel like I have that connections now matter how tenuous!
My mom and my husband are like, we are learning to figure out your texts, but we’re getting it. I think there’s something special about the people who are between 30-40 right now. There’s something in that group of people. And in my podcasting group, John Lee Dumas is always talking about their avatar and who your perfect listener is? I said I’ve had my avatar on my show as my guest, and I can tell already and by reading your website! You’re definitely my type of avatar.
We think about too. When we we’re pitching it. If I am your avatar I’m guessing we’re trying to speak to the same crowd. Which is youngish folks, if I can still call myself young, yeah?
There’s this gap of knowledge between generations … Our grandparents kept gardens and I think a lot of parents didn’t… depending on how much time you got to spend on your grandparents garden, you may have not received that information. So there’s this renewed interest in growing and homesteading and home economics. but there’s this dearth of familial knowledge so its got to come from somewhere else.
I actually talked to this guy, his name is Peter Vasilis, his daughter is Alethea and Erin, they have a little non-profit there called Orkestai Farm. And he does farmer’s market out in Orient Point. He said when his dad came home, they were all excited, look at this new thing! No more weeds. It was like this big new technology. I also think about my mom, she’s like, I don’t get this organic thing, it’s just a money thing… I don’t think she realizes the big difference in food grown in the 70s compared to today. And I just wanted to say something about we had this huge seed fair, and we were expecting like 300 people and 1600 people walked through the door.
We were talking about nutrient rich food. Andrew Malucelli, just a few weeks ago. I really thought my husband was gonna be teaching people doing the podcast, but my listeners want to hear from you. I think my listeners are wondering how to do things effectively and efficiently because I’m always working and how hard it is to garden some times and I think also about growing in the city, I love my house but whenever it feels small I think about my aunt in NYC raising two kids in a small apartment and how you have to be efficient.
The tiniest of tiny apartments in the West Village.
How did you learn how to garden organically?
It was not an obvious journey, I came to farming through a love of food. I followed my pallet and my appetite to farming. Part of it, was like what you said, people you want nutritious food. It wasn’t the easiest step fro me to take….
I was such a city kid, I mean I was afraid of bees, I was totally lost in the garden. I was really fortunate I was working as an assistant in the restaurant industry and I was working to a pretty big deal restauranteur winemaker. And I learned right way how to get things done very well.
So when my buddies said they’re gonna this, I was like where are you gonna get the soil how are you gonna get it up there? I thought it was inspiring. I loved this notion of just doing it! It was something I never thought of before
this liberal arts educated mindset
- contingency plan
So I was sort of stunned by their cavalier attitude, so I set out to make systems to help the project more smoothly. It didn’t go super well, I need to

we started having a lot of conversations and working on a project together, when we did launch Brooklyn Grange, it was really the three of us at first
we brought a couple of folks on board, really I worked really closely alongside Ben
I learned almost everything I know from him. That was where I learned an important tenant of farming any good farmer must also be a good educator
I know not all farmers will not be delighted to hear that, because they would spend time with plants then with people. In some way shape or from
taking on novices as staff
writing a book, or maybe having a podcast you really have to help spread your knowledge at this point.
And we need more podcasts, so if you’re thinking of it, I’ll talk to you after. Also There’s a woman who rote LENTIL Underground you should connect with Liz Carlisle. she went to UC Berkley…
I think there’s this big fear of the older generation, there’s a fear of social media, etc. But when you get there and you start to share your knowledge and see people appreciate it.
One of the threads of my show is definitely soil health?! And how do you get your soil up there!
Yeah, soil health, the idea of swapping out all that soil, that’s not tenable. We bring

how can we improve the soil echosystem, because with drainage comes a because with that increased porosity, you awls find that your soil dries out more quickly, especially when it’s pounded by,s o we have to irrigate.
we found that drip is not the most efficient
not that capillary action, so it spreads the water through
if it was less porous
articles were smaller, when the sun is low in the sky
especially on our greens beds and other spots where we’re not putting our plants onto of your direct line.
You know those little sprinklers

and distribute them in a gentle rain like pattern
they don’t shoot water up as high
you’re not losing as much
folks moved out to San Francisco
in the middle of
historic droughts in Northern California and I’ll be out there during one of these historic droughts and you would have no idea that’s what’s happening because there’s water shooting up in the air on all these farms. It seems like water is going to be increasingly the conversation that you should be having in farming. And can we contribute tot the conversation so that we learn how to store water
in soil that doesn’t want to store water
how can we adjust this soil that it continues to drain….but it has a better capacity.
it’s very much a work in progress
working with Cornell University. right now we’re still very much in the data acquisition process. We tend to be transparent, we want folks to know we are a work in progress and then we share what we know and as soon as we have more to say on that, the world will figure it out.
still very much in the fact finding stage.
So let’s talk about the grange… What are you doing with all the food that you grow?
3 main sales channels,
vast majority crops are being sold wholesale to chefs and small mom and pop growers. That’s because its so much more efficient
endless number of wholesale accounts within a 5 mile radius of our farm.
the most profitable thing we can do is sell baby greens salad mixes, and arugula, to chefs and grocers. WE also have a 45 member csa and 2 weekly markets – Saturday and Sunday market. WE try to be thoughtful of what we grow.
lean heavenly towards
things don’t keep the lights on
2 months in the green house and then 2 months in the field is so much less then one beautiful tomato. So we are cautious about what we grow in our small space
try to keep our prices reasonable by being mindful of how we sell that produce.
So I use the example of basil
sweet basil, our Italian basil, that’s really our retail basil. If we bring it to a farmer’s market, people are gonna buy bunches of it. When you buy a $2 bunch of basil.
If we were gonna wholesale that basil for $6/lb
time to take to see the per square foot, to plant, to harvest and pack the crop
if you charge chefs that much for basil, they’re gonna think of you as that expensive farm, because they are getting pallets of basil
most often from the middle east grown hydroponically or from the amish
We make sure every square foot of that acreage is producing a certain value!
we don’t wholesaled our basil
if we bring it to the farmers market and they’ll say what is that smell?
It’s great in melon salads and spring roll! And the;lll say that’s amazing! And they buy the Italian basil because they don’t now what to do with it. You know who buys it? Pastry chefs and bartenders
they are willing to pay wholesale at a premium
ours is super fresh because we’re able to
not just what we grow but considerate about what we grow how we sell that product…
I was an english major, I read a lot of books. I continue to read a lot. There are so many amazing authors out there writing about farming and gardening.
I think Richard Wiswall Organic Farmer’s Handbook as just a crucial piece of literature for anyone trying to make a book or 2.
I love everything Joel Salatin the ethos behind running my farm, and I quote him because nobody says it better
Eliot Coleman says
We’re really fortunate from to be just down the road from Annie Novak she was Ben’s Partner at Eagle street
she runs that
She just wrote a book
The Rooftop Growing Guide and that is the whole compendium on growing on Roofs.
there’s a whole cannon of super literature
out there, the lessons that stick because you learn them in a trial by fire way
we definitely composted a lot of lime basil because it did not sell,
lost accounts thinking I could sell Italian basil for $6/lb because I thought I could get away.
Tell us about your book!
Yeah! Our we’re about to embark on our 7th season
we’ve definitely made
Our website is incredibly rich of so I do urge people to check it out if you’re interested in learning more:
the about page and FAQ alone are super super informative!
The book is called:
like I said, I think there was such a
When we spoke with Annie and she said she was writing her book, that is what made perfect sense for us to focus on how to make this business work. I mean its an amazing thing, not to toot our own home, but it’s kind of incredible that we’ve made this business work!
2 1/2 acres is not a lot of land and anybody knows, who’s grown anything before whiter it’s if its a small plot of large farm knows how much of a cushion for error, how much room for error you need.
We really wanted to share with the wider world that, our experiences as small business operators, serving our local community, have been really really positive and we really want to encourage other folks out there to start a small bugs of their own, whether it’s a farm or garden project, or not even food related!
The bottom line is I think there is a little bit of discontent between people’s idea of success, especially Liberal Arts educated college grads whose parents have paid a fortune for their education or have taken out a tremendous amount of student loan debt, they feel this pressure to be successful, but they want to create positive change!
And those two things can seem to be at odds, can seem to be, because our definition of success has been very much screwed by internet startups and tech startups. You hear these stories of he started a tech startup and 3 years later he sold it for $5 million dollars and then he’s starting another one! And that’s what we think of as success, but there’s something so rewarding about running a business that serves it’s community.
When I get a note from a CSA member cooked a meal and it was cooked with 100% from produce from Brooklyn Grange vegetables and it was the most beautiful year they’ve had in recent memory! That’s super rewarding that’s the super ultimate!
When we treat ourselves to dinner what ever couple of years and we see our vegetables are coming out on our plates! And get off the farm and go out every once in a blue moon!
we are proximal to our customers

encourage other people to give that a shot as well.
What is the first step to getting that dirt up there?
Depends on the roof
it’s not always the easiest
before you put a spec of dirt up there, you want to get an engineer.
make sure the roof can support the weight.
once it’s all up there, it’s heavy it’s gonna get rained on,
So you calculate the weight of the soil, fully saturated and make sure the building can hold that weight?
pre-war industrial buildings
for large projects
you can do smaller things

slows down the rate the water passes through our farm, and the pace it hits new York’s sewer system.

open them p
conveyor belt like system
has a big hopper on it, basically brings soil form this big pile
shoots it up, all 11 stories of that building, and they are tall stories, up on to the roof…
What are most roofs made of? Seems like there’s tar paper up there.
There’s a lot of nasty stuff on roofs. That’s one of the beautiful thing about rooftop farms.
our very first season
I noticed there were a ton of butterflies up there
there was one day up there, I was planting, I was thinking I felt like I was in a disney movie
why are there so many
Turns out Butterflies can sense temp difference from a distance.
more then a park a ground level
so much cooler then the other
because they are made from things like
and then sunlight and admit it.
incredibly hot surfaces and
in summer in the the day, yeah it’s just hot up there.
We’re experiencing urban heat island effect, it never cools down at night
disputes the cleaning capacity
cooling this vegetation up there on there roofs.
The surfaces of roofs are interesting thing.
if you have a brand new roof membrane, the membrane that prevents rain from coming through the roof you may not need to use a roof barrier.
roll out a roll of root barrier, it’s just a thick black plastic, roots can not get thru it roots
access the surface of the roof
protests the from from uv rays, they say it will extend the life of a roof membrane up to 4 times. I don’t know anyone who’s had to tear of a roof that’s covered
no UV damage being done… and that’s the life time
I know Bill Clinton was big about rooftops because it was gonna cut down the air conditioning bill.
theres some research being done by Stuart Gaffin I think he’s at Columbia University. He’s a leading researcher on the benefits on the gardens
- reduction of heating and cooling
- giant comforter in winter like a blanket on your building
- in summer acts as a intermediary between the roof and the sun.
the sad fact of the matter is for most buildings, especially large buildings are probably charging for tenants for the heating and cooling costs, really not concerned about those numbers. They are rounding errors for them.
Really it’s cities who need to be proactive and forward thinking and take action on incentivizing these green roofs.
They need to take forward action. They have been, NY especially!
NYC, has a tax abatement
They have a one time tax abatement, up to $100k the install year of a green roof. And the Department of Environmental Protection of NYC offers
yeah, that’s great but you don’t have to be an non-profit
anyone to get them, they encourage anyone who can add a green space that will absorb water.
less people using toilets, flushing taking showers
We;ve built the city up so much most of it is covered by impervious surfaces like concrete and so when it rains, all of the is directly related to the drains
When it rains heavily and the system that processes rainfall is overwhelemed.
In order for that water to not back up in the streets we combine our systems
forced to vent some of that Combined Sewer Overways (CSO)
directly into local waterways
not a specify NYC, it’s a problem all over the world.
it’s not a sexy problem or one people want to talk about.
Nobody wants to talk about the poop floating in the bay. It’s a real problem.
NYC has been particularly has been particularly smart and proactive and they looked at the positive effects of adding green space and the costs of doing so, and they realized that it would be far more efficient to increase the green space in cities and absorb the slow down some of the rainfall allowing the sewer system let it catch up with impervious surfaces
before that rainfall
that’s a little bit of green infrastructure geek out.
It’s exciting you’re seeing in practice in Paris with legislation, really requires green roofs on building of certain sizes! You’ve seen it for years in Chicago has a green roof in its city hall! NYC is not alone in valuing green roofs and green spaces.
trees planted along sidewalks parks
much appreciated by practitioners like us.
What does the book talk about?
Our business intrinsically at it’s core is a triple bottom line business
3 ps: Profits, Planet, People (and Partnerships)
financial bottom line we wouldn’t be here if we don’t make a profit
how can we use less water
adapt our soil so we hold water better
We really really want to always make sure that our mission to respect all the pillars, we stay true to that.
The book talks about
- the importance and strategies to remain fiscally profitable
- raising money
not easy to do in 2009 not easy to do still on the on heels of that 2008 recession. A lot of people didn’t want to pony up so I talk about how to be creative with fund raising strategies.
The importance of keeping and analyzing data and knowing the important numbers to keep yourself profitable.
We talk a lot about people
how to create
actually introduce 4th p! The 4th P
It’s hard to succeed as a small business across all three of these fields. You see all the time, a business that can come in with a highly environmentally friendly process that will increase productivity and decrease our environmental footprint but it puts a ton of people out of work.
Or a business will come into a community and create a ton of jobs, but it puts toxic waste into the waterways.
You’re gonna be much better at 2 of the 3
So you partner with organizations who excel at what you struggle with and who struggle with the things of which you excel.
So it’s tough enough to be profitable on 2.5 acres. We are necessarily focused on that and of course we’re an urban farm, so
ecology and ecological sustainablility is at the core of what we do.
people is a little bit trickier, we wish we could donate 1/2 of our harvest with produce but it would affect our bottom line too much.
So how do we give back to the community?
a lot of it is education. And that’s certainly part of it.
We do a lot of workshops and classes of which we barely break even because we feel it’s important work. We also founded an educational non-profit
It was born from the communities’ desire to bring youth up to the farm to learn about
food and farming
What I bought to the table was I grew up as a NYC kid!
this green stuff coming out of the roof as food. We don’t associate food with something that grows. We associate it with something that is in a package on super market shelves
budget for a field trip fee. I started doing pro bono visits and it started to add up. But moreover
I was not equipped to answer these though questions like:

is a primary example
don’t handle lease negations
irrigation system is malfunctioning
don’t build green houses that we grow our seedlings in.
we let them focus on what they are really good at which is educating young community farmers. It’s always been part of the goal, it was just something we could not do, we couldn’t make it happen on our own. So we forged a partnership to make it work.
How do you bring 22,000 kids to your farm and get any work done?
That’s the beauty is Citygrowers is taking care of all of that
leaving us to do
focus on the ps that we’re really good at

asylum seekers to come up and to learn about gardening and farming and also basic power tool skills, and others farm related skills and english language skills. They join us for a couple of hours a day, once a week. What we don’t deal with writing the grant proposals to get that funded. That’s what RIF does. We are left to do the not so easy task of running a small farm sustainable and profitably! Our partnerships allow us to give back to our community.
Choosing the Right Rooftop
Where do you get your roofs from, do people donate them to you?
One would think No we lease our roofs, we pay rent up there. It’s not easy to find a roof.
do you do anything with flowers
we lease our roofs, we pay rent up there. We see a lot of stinkers out there
roofs right under a bridge, where you’re smelling the exhaust, and you don
‘t want to put a farm up there and brake pad particulate matter that builds up. and nobody wants to eat that food
what makes a great rooftop for a farm
for our purposes, we look for something big, strong. We look for landlords who are excited about the project. Who won’t mind 1000s of kids coming through. Who won’t mind our wedding clients bringing 150 people up to the roof for their wedding. WE have yoga classes
excited by that rather then be annoyed by it
nearish to a community
cultural aspect is so we an get CSA members
Not in some industrial area where nobody lives. Another tough part is roofs are so often interrupted every 20 feet by HVAC units and vents and fans and exhausts and that can be really challenging to farm around. It’s incredibly hard to find a large roof without these mechanical units.
when you think about a farm, if you have to stop
you think about pushing that seeder if you have to go around an havoc until
find a relatively un obstructed roof
we understand that every rood is going to have a certain amount of mechanicals.
we really do look for ones that
wI think that it depends
I think green roofs will pop up on buildings
in top building
cities all over the worlds
What’s your vision for the future. I have 3 relatives that live in NYC is it practical for them to have a rooftop garden?
Certainly green roofs will continue to pop up on buildings on top of the roofs around the world. I think a lot of them will be rooftop farms because if you are going to put the green roof materials up there why not get a return from them
first of all, I hate to burst any bubbles
urban farming is never going to feed entire cities we will always rely on rural arms.
You know for people that want to grow a tomato, or I always talk about kitchen garden full of lettuce and things I eat ALL the time.
certain idealism totally self sufficient
a lot of people
more and more people are getting more excited about growing their own food and want to have a
sense of urgency
increased interest in both cities and rural areas
we have a design and installation arm of our business. Where we install gardens for private clients from homeless shelters to Vice Media’s headquarters
advances in agriculture were already seeing aeroponic and hydroponic
I think the future of urban farming is a bit of patchwork of different methods
all of the reasons it is around in the first place
desire to be closer to the process. Cities are gonna continue to spray farther and farther. As far as Brooklyn grange we will continue to grow our business. WE will expand to additional rooftops, we will help others get their own rooftop farms off the ground.
I hope in the future we can build greenest and most sustainable system food production and processing system
how to integrate food production and food processing….
You’ve shared a ton of golden seeds. I’m pretty sure my biggest population are in California but then it’s Texas and NY so hopefully you’ll get some nearby listeners. So can they visit anytime?
We definitely open the farm every Saturday 11-4pm our queens farm in LI City queens
Those hours are seasonal. We’re open late May thru October
alongside our farm stand, they can check out the green space.
Does it cost anything?
Nope, it’s all open to the public
does not require any pre-registrations.
- amazing workshops classes
- all sense of events
- a natural dye
- working with smug time a mushroom
- Monday night at our Brooklyn
I know the view is incredible but I urge folks who want to give back to check out one of our non-profit colleagues.
Look for a farm in their own community, get involved and get after it.
If there was one change you would like to see to create a greener world what would it be? For example is there a charity or organization your passionate about or a project you would like to see put into action. What do you feel is the most crucial issue facing our planet in regards to the environment either in your local area or on a national or global scale?
I think that’s huge. The more connected we are to the planet, the the more invested we are to keep it healthy. I also really urge folks to keep politics out of the conversation about climate change. It’s so hard, obviously food and politics just don’t go together really well.
it’s just not the same conversation,we need to be talking about the environment about a way that is atypical
next time you are with someone who doesn’t share your common views, and see if you can’t come to an agreement that positive change needs to happen. It’s tough to do. It’s a hot button issue, but if we can find language to talk about it in a way that is non-partisan, we might make some progress and it’s essential that we do so. We can not keep putting it off, we need to make changes immediately! That’s my hope for this next reelection cycle. Taking the politics out of the climate change conversation.
Just get out there and vote and vote fro more then just president. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are. Everybody’s vote matters, it can be screwed by just the littlest amount.
Do you have an inspiration tip or quote to help motivate our listeners to reach into that dirt and start their own garden?
I’ve got a copy my book right here, I will say,
How exciting! Who published it?
Avery, a small part of Penguin.
I’m an aspiring author/illustrator.
This is something we talk about towards the end of the book, that I urge, the listeners in your podcast are in interested in organics and organics is all about cultivating a healthy ecosystem of soil microbes.
this is so apropos with what we were talking about voting, and every day we vote with your fork, and the political power of the dollar
the money you spend that ow give to support business is feeding into a business ecosystem and in the book we talk about the
towards the end of the book I write:
“an ecosystem is defined as a group of interconnected elements formed by the interaction of a community of organisms that community can exert change on it’s environment. That community of organisms can exert change on it’s environment. The stronger those interconnections are, the stronger an influence the community can exert.”
I would just ask to all the small businesses out there to try to partner with the other businesses and organizations in your community. To all the individuals try to think about the businesses you’re supporting. Let’s try to make these connections more often and create an even stronger network. If the business ecosystem can become a strong one we can make it a healthy one and feeds it community.
It seems like everyone is talking about is their launch? Is there a thing like you want them to buy it, and review it and buy it in the first week. So go and buy it, the quicker you can get it and review it. Go to your library and get them to order it. Get her book out there, its one of the things you can do. You can pre-order it now.

I would be remiss to ask since you have the audio book, if you read it yourself? Yes, I did. It’s a little explicit, just a tiny bit and I felt like I needed to spare the professional readers… Oh no! It’s so much better if you read it yourself.

Outstream for Publishers
Unlike pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll formats, outstream is not dependent on existing video content. All types of publishers can increase monetization opportunities with video outstream because it allows publishers to enjoy revenue from video without having to face the complexities or demands of producing video content while at the same time ensuring an excellent user experience on the site.
Sticky Video Monetization – Ideal for Desktop
A sticky ad is designed to open up when there is demand, in the bottom right-hand side the screen, and is anchored there when the user scrolls. The player will close when the ad completes. In addition, there is an option for the user to close the ad.
Total Media’s outstream tags are connected to buyers from hundreds of dynamic demand sources. Any publisher can use outstream within their content as a means of creating website monetization on desktop and mobile.
Implementation of outstream onto a webpage is simple- webmasters simply need to add a universal, simple tag which will take a small footprint onto the web page.
Check out our video monetization demos for publishers: | <urn:uuid:6a919b58-1e38-4aa5-8ec3-4091d2630719> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.totalmediasolutions.com/blog/outstream-sticky-demo/ | 2020-07-11T21:47:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655937797.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711192914-20200711222914-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.900938 | 233 | [

Financial traders hate to be out of the loop. When the market moves as fast as it does, and profits and losses can be made in a matter of seconds, they like to have access to the markets at all times. First they could only trade on a desktop computer, then came mobile laptop software and now, of course, there are Android apps. We’re going to take a look at one of those apps, a mobile version of MetaTrader 5, which is the platform of choice for top market traders.
Let’s start off by saying that it’s a very good system, and will certainly be an asset to anyone involved in forex, but it’s not ideal as a standalone system. Mainly this is a shortcoming of mobile devices as a whole, not just this particular app.
The interface is well laid out, and looks just as high quality as you’d expect from a product for this kind of market. Along the top you’ve got options for quotes, chart, trade, history and settings – the main functions you need to trade the market with. Prices and quotes stream quickly and there’s a handy use of the periodicity table.
It’s a surprisingly comprehensive selection for an app. The charts function in particular is pretty much as complete as you’d find on most desktop platforms, and it operates nicely too. You can pinch and zoom in on charts to view more and more detailed information, and it works more smoothly and intuitively than PC software. The downside however, and the reason this app isn’t all encompassing is that it’s hard to get all of the information you need on the screen at once – it can’t display a great number of indicators or bars concurrently.
In conclusion, the MetaTrader 5 app for Android is a brilliant tool for keeping track of prices and quotes while you’re on the move, but it’s not a comprehensive forex portal | <urn:uuid:7be93b36-fe85-4164-8a6c-77e74792b8f6> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.trendygadget.com/2012/08/31/mobile-phone-trading/ | 2020-07-11T19:32:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655937797.57/warc/CC-MAIN-20200711192914-20200711222914-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.948719 | 412 | [

1) A bibliography in proper form listing all sources that inform the paper. Sources in the bibliography must be published books, peer
reviewed articles or government studies in hard copy form. Websites (e.g. Wikipedia) cannot be cited. It should cite no fewer than
*eight substantial sources.”
2) You will write a research paper on a public policy designed to address a specific societal inequity. The policy will be on
immigration. “How has immigration policies changed in the United States in the last century? What were the biggest factors leading
up to those changes?” Feel free to change it up if necessary. Avoid questions that are too broad, like the redistributive effects of the
healthcare system, or too obscure, like the racially disparate impact of stop signs. | <urn:uuid:ce838c0d-f370-45fa-92f3-a693391333eb> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://acedessays.com/social-inequity-on-immigration-in-usa/ | 2020-07-13T15:07:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657145436.64/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713131310-20200713161310-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.922884 | 167 | [

23 Jun Gladskin Treats Atopic Dermatitis – Eczema – by Repairing Skin Microbiome
MedicalResearch.com Interview with:
Skyler Stein, MBA
President of Gladskin USA
Mr. Stein discusses Gladskin , a new category of non-prescription eczema treatment, utilizing “Micreobalance™ is a smart protein that defends against flare-causing bacteria and creates a healthy environment for good bacteria to thrive”.
MedicalResearch.com: Would you briefly describe what is meant by atopic dermatitis/eczema?
Response: Atopic Dermatitis / Eczema is a group of inflammatory skin conditions that cause the skin to become red, and itchy. Medical Research: What are the atypical cutaneous organisms commonly found on atopic skin
Response: Based on extensive clinical research, it is widely accepted that S. aureus is found in atopic skin at much higher rates than than in non-atopic skin. It was previously thought that S. aureus was simply correlated with atopic dermatitis, but recent research supports the idea that S. aureus is a driving cause of atopic dermatitis flares. In fact, we know that S. aureus produces different endo-toxins that are known to cause itch, irritation and redness and can be a driving force in the flare-itch-flare cycle
MedicalResearch.com: How does Gladskin differ from other topical products for AD? What is in Micreobalance™?
Response: Gladskin represents a new category of topical products for people with Eczema, because it is formulated with Micreobalance, a patented endolysin protein developed in Switzerland that actively works to rebalance the skin microbiome as it moisturizes. Endolysins are naturally occuring proteins that work to keep skin bacteria in check. In addition, Gladskin is preservative free, protecting the healthy protective bacteria that naturally live on our skin, including S. epidermidis; it is hypoallergenic, free from fragrances and drying alcohols that are typically known to cause irritation in people with sensitive skin.
MedicalResearch.com: What should readers take away from your offerings?
Response: Endolysins are a newly available skincare ingredient that works to repair the skin microbiome imbalance associated with eczema, while providing all of the benefits of an emollient moisturizer. It’s available for purchase at www.gladskin.com with free shipping.

Viejas Mountain is a monster. It’s not a monster like El Cajon Mountain, which requires you to climb up and down and then back up and down again some more before it grudgingly gives up its stunning summit views. And, it’s not a monster like the Agua Tibia Loop, which assaults your poor knees and feet with endless miles before revealing its own stellar views. Viejas Mountain is a mini-monster, and it is far more challenging than its modest length implies.
This hike is a beast (beastlet?) for the following reasons: first, the entirety of this hike occurs on a south-facing slope with absolutely no cover. Second, the grade of the trail is extremely steep, and even seasoned hikers will fight to keep oxygen in their lungs. Third, the trail is a rugged, unmaintained route kept alive by hikers despite being rocky, slippery, and unrelenting. Finally, you will gain an average of 1,000′ per mile, which is usually when hikers begin saying “You have GOT to be kidding me!”
With all of those knocks against this trail, you might be wondering why Modern Hiker is presenting and even recommending this hike. In addition to the above details, this is not a trail to hike when it is warm outside, as heat and sun exposure could set the stage for a very bad time. Moreover, this is not a trail to hike when the atmosphere is anything less than crystal clear, as the principal reward on this hike is the view. So why?
The “why” lies in the fact that the views from the summit of Viejas Mountain are nothing short of breathtaking. From the top, you can survey an unobstructed 360 degree panorama that includes nearly every major geographic feature west of the Peninsular Ranges. One can see 50 miles into Northern Mexico while also glimpsing the snow-capped summits of Mt. Baldy, Mt. San Jacinto, and Mt. San Gorgonio. The southern Channel Islands will rise up out of the cobalt blue arc of the ocean, while every major and minor peak from Cuyamaca to Point Loma lies within view.
The hike itself is a straightforward, albeit arduous affair. If the gate is open, you can park your car opposite the unofficial trailhead. If the gate is closed, you can park off the side of Anderson Fire Road and pass through the gate, adding about .5 mile to the route. Be sure to display your Adventure Pass in either instance. Once you find the rough trail on the east side of the road, begin climbing and do not stop until you can climb no further. There are no junctions, no changes of scenery beyond the evolving view, and no noteworthy places to stop. It’s nothing but a simple and devilishly rough climb up the side of a mountain.
When you reach the summit ridge, your choices will increase modestly. You can walk southwest toward the American flag or northeast toward the true summit. This track continues northeast as it undulates along the increasingly scrubby ridge. In the past before the 2003 Cedar Fire, which swept the entirety of Viejas Mountain, vegetation overgrowth was a problem. It may become so again as the chaparral continues its post-fire recovery. Even now, the trail is a bit overgrown with the primary culprit being Our Lord’s Candle yucca plants, which are also known by an array of choice swear words for their tendency to impale unsuspecting shins and calves.
After 1.8 miles, you will reach a hand-made rock shelter used by overnight campers. Viejas Mountain would make an interesting backpacking experience, particularly on a clear, warm, full moon night. As helpful as rock shelters are, this particular shelter is a bit of a tragedy in terms of human history. Before the shelter was built, a structure stood that was used to locate a specific peak at the Winter Solstice, which was undoubtedly a part of Kumeyaay ritual prior to the arrival of the Europeans. It had likely stood on this spot for hundreds of years, and it was a lasting artifact of Native American life. Now, it is a wind shelter for backpackers.
The rock shelter is the end of the line, although you can spend many happy minutes (or hours) exploring the summit ridge to gain more advantageous views of the surrounding environment. Half of San Diego, a considerable chunk of Mexico, and slivers of Orange, Riverside, San Bernadino, and Los Angeles Counties lie spread out below your feet. When you have seen all you care to see, make your careful and cautious way down the steep slope to return to your car.
The trail is a rough, single-track trail that is occasionally overgrown by ill-tempered yucca plants. There is nothing smooth or easy about it, and it is very steep. It's not dangerous by any means, but it's definitely not the most pleasant trail we've hiked.
The nearest campground is at Lake Jennings park in Lakeside.
From San Diego, take Interstate 8 east toward El Centro. At the town of Alpine, exit at Tavern road, turning right. Make the left onto Alpine Boulevard. Turn left onto Victoria Drive, and follow the road as it bends around to the right. Watch for Anderson Road on your left. Turn left and follow until you reach the gate. | <urn:uuid:884de1ee-f07a-4f48-a20a-1be9f8ad91fc> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://modernhiker.com/hike/hike-viejas-mountain/?_sft_hike_tags=dog-friendly | 2020-07-15T19:16:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.951211 | 1,118 | [

I participated in a recent meeting at the World Bank with researchers, funders, and development practitioners interested in helping people living in extreme poverty improve their lives. We have seen promising results from the CGAP-Ford Foundation Graduation pilot programs targeting the “ultra-poor” demographic – the most vulnerable families, living in the bottom 15% of their economy, which for years have been among the hardest to reach by development interventions. Participants discussed the challenges of scaling up these programs, which include securing funding, hiring competent and empathetic staff, and finding the most viable livelihoods for those coming out of extreme poverty.
Despite the incredible progress made in this area over the last decade, many suggested that funders might be reluctant to support the next phase of these programs due to their perceived high costs. I disagree. Research at BRAC in Bangladesh, which pioneered an approach now used by ultra-poor programs around the world, shows that for just $150 a year for 2 years, we can produce impressive and remarkably sustainable results on multiple indicators. Most families “graduate” from extreme poverty to the bottom rung of the economic ladder, where they are able to benefit from microfinance. Cost benefit analysis found that we ultimately reap over $5 for every $1 invested.
The main strategy discussed at the global meeting was inspired by the work of BRAC: a strategy that targets the ultra-poor by sequencing creative interventions, including confidence building and the transfer of productive assets such as livestock, to enable women-headed households and other vulnerable families living on 50 cents a day or less to “graduate” into sustainable livelihoods.
Built on two decades of working with the World Food Programme and the Government of Bangladesh, BRAC helped over 2.2 million of very vulnerable families earn income through raising poultry using a value chain approach that used the safety net food aid. Unfortunately research in 2001 by Dr. Syed Hashemi showed the gains didn’t last. So, in 2002, BRAC began its first phase of its new program. It challenged the frontiers of poverty alleviation, working with 100,000 households living in conditions that made them difficult to reach with conventional programs, including microfinance. BRAC designed a program that targeted this ultra-poor population, testing a solution that had the potential to make measurable dents in the scale of the problem.
Empirical evidence from BRAC encouraged CGAP and the Ford Foundation to test the idea by replicating the approach in cooperation with other anti-poverty organizations, launching 10 different pilots in eight countries. Due to funding constraints, the Graduation Pilots were launched with a much smaller number of households – up to 1,000 households, but sometimes as few as 150 women.
Now, six pilots have graduated somewhere between 75-98% of initial participants. Some organizations and governments now aim to scale up to levels similar to that of BRAC, which as of December 2011 reached 373,000 families with its ultra-poor program supported by DFID and AusAid among others. The Indian microfinance organization Bandhan and Pakistan’s Poverty Alleviation Fund are both moving to serve over 50,000 households over the few years.
Meanwhile, independent research continues to yield new insights into long-term effects. Working with outside scholars from the London School of Economics, BRAC has new data that shows impressive incomes and productivity gains sustained after four years. The magnitude of impact on per capita income was not only sustainable over the long term, but also increased over time. Self-employment, as the primary occupation of the working-age members, tremendously increased due to program participation. There were also benefits to food security with strong improvements in nutrition as measured by consumption of meat, fish and leafy vegetables, and by price per calorie. Earlier BRAC research highlighted gains in income and food security as well as health, sanitation and education.
Today, the focus for us all should be on systems for efficient and effective scaling. The evidence suggests these programs are a good bet for scarce donor resources. As BRAC has learned, we need to create partnerships that generate livelihoods, create ecosystems for entrepreneurship, and ultimately forge new pathways out of poverty. To scale up, one needs to have the right leadership, systems and resources in place.
Our challenge now is to generate the political will among the backers of microfinance and savings-led strategies for women’s empowerment to target resources in more strategic ways. I am particularly encouraged by the promise of the business model that Bandhan is using to grow its program through financing from profits of its microfinance bank, along with 75% coming from a large commercial bank, Axis Bank. A study by Grameen Foundation of Fonkoze in Haiti and the Small Enterprise Foundation in South Africa found that the ultra-poor program may be a cost-effective customer acquisition strategy.
Pressures for corporate social responsibility, responses to critiques of microfinance, and the drive for new markets and customers may open up new opportunities for the poorest. Equally important, pressures on governments for more inclusive and equitable societies may accomplish the same goal. As the international community discusses what comes after the UN’s Millennium Development Goals in 2015, it is encouraging to see the enthusiastic leadership from multilateral and bilateral aid organizations (e.g. World Bank, Asian Development Bank, DFID, AusAid) along with private foundations – notably The MasterCard Foundation, Dell Foundation and Ford Foundation – and international NGOs, networks and associations. As the evidence continues to pour in, it is time to redouble our efforts by publicizing the empirical basis for investing in the ultra-poor. | <urn:uuid:3b581841-e4c7-4f0c-859f-a4da9a43869f> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.cgap.org/blog/good-news-ultra-poor | 2020-07-15T19:17:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.956785 | 1,155 | [

Written by Amy Dressel-Martin, MA
Parkinson’s disease is a joke at our house.
Let’s face it; our lack of dopamine can make our bodies do some crazy things sometimes. I’ve always advocated seeing the humor in Parkinson’s. While not undermining the seriousness of a Parkinson’s diagnosis, my husband and I hope the humor helps keep the topic available to everyone.
Parkinson’s is present all of the time in our home, and I need to keep it present in order to be honest with my family and myself. I have to own it.
Keeping Parkinson’s Present
Remember when, as a child, you thought you knew what was going on, only to find out much later how wrong you were? For example, I remember thinking my dad was the evening anchor on the local news because, (a) they both had a healthy head of black hair; (b) my mom watched the news every evening at 5:00; and, (c) my dad didn’t get home until after the news was over.
My conclusion: Dad must be the newscaster. Wrong! But we all had a laugh about it years later.
Depending on the ages of your children when you were diagnosed with Parkinson’s, consider how they might have interpreted what was happening. My kids were 7 and 9 years old when I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Recently, I asked them (now ages 14 and 16) to give me an account of how they each remember my Parkinson’s before, during and after Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery. Our son (12 at the time I had DBS), thought my surgery was to help my husband work longer and think more clearly. Our daughter (10 at the time) was “terrified” sitting in her math class, thinking about me having brain surgery. “Who wouldn’t be?” she said.
It’s so easy to carry on with school, work, sports, activities, trips and to believe that “we explained Parkinson’s to them already.” However, it’s important to remember that our kids’ brains were — and are — still growing, learning and absorbing different facts, emotions and body language differently as they develop and mature. Plus, Parkinson’s symptoms are always changing and progressing, so keep them updated. Keep it present.
Take Responsibility & Take Time to Talk
I think sometimes I respond so well to my DBS and medications that I don’t seem like I have Parkinson’s. But I can feel the tense muscles in my thighs, the strain in my throat when I try to use my loud voice. It never leaves me and it never leaves us. I try not to let it affect our everyday lives and I want to do everything we used to do as a family — and more. Most often, my kids remind me that I have Parkinson’s and should parcel out my energy appropriately.
Yet, that’s not fair to them. It’s not their responsibility to monitor my well-being; it’s mine. Although many days I feel like I could do anything, I have to step back and think about how I will feel on mile two of our planned hike, not just mile one. It’s also not fair or responsible of me to put myself in a risky situation out of which I would need help. That’s not to say that I curb my activities all the time, but I am learning to take my abilities into account and step out if I need to.
As I’ve said before, I’ll never thank Parkinson’s, but I’ve gained the virtue of empathy through this disease. I have involved all of my family on my Parkinson’s journey since the very beginning. We’ve all gone to my support groups, my dance classes and performances. We don’t shy away from people who are different. And we consider what may be going on in other people’s lives that may make them act in an unexpected way.
Neither of our kids has asked about the tough stuff like life expectancy, long-term care or specifically, what my life and my caregiver’s life will look like in the future. I could assume they’ve looked it up on the Internet or read some of the Parkinson’s literature I’ve left lying around on purpose, but leaving the conversation to chance would be irresponsible of me.
They’re old enough now. Time to talk.
Here are my top tactics for keeping the lines of communication open with my kids:
1. Keep Parkinson’s present through humor or whatever works for you; don’t push it aside. If you adopt humor as a strategy, be prepared to bear the brunt of the joke.
2. Ask your children (and maybe other family members) direct questions about their feelings about and understanding of your Parkinson’s.
3. Be ready to discuss the tough stuff when they are, and have the conversation first with your spousecaregiver so that you’re both on the same page.
4. Consider how your kids communicate and learn. It may be that a video on the Internet or a book could be helpful.
Amy Dressel-Martin lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband, two teenagers, an orange cat, two chickens and a duck (who thinks he’s a chicken). She is eternally grateful to whoever decided putting electrodes in the brain attached to batteries under the collarbone was a good idea, because it was. | <urn:uuid:4bd5afcd-1abd-4543-b0c7-1bda4e0718ab> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.davisphinneyfoundation.org/blog/how-to-talk-to-your-kids-about-parkinsons/ | 2020-07-15T17:52:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657170639.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20200715164155-20200715194155-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.96901 | 1,184 | [

**Hi there! If you would like more fun posts like these, follow me on Pinterest!
The Big Guy and I have almost always had a dog – or two! They have been like family to us, and we treated them accordingly. Recently, though, one of our dogs, Max was hit by a car which dislocated his shoulder, and the other, Lena, had to be put down.
After the accident, knowing that it would cost $1,000-$2,000 to get Max fixed, we decided that the best decision would be to put him down. However, our neighbors knew what a good dog he was and offered to take Max since their son wanted a dog, and they would get his leg fixed. We agreed, they got his x-rays done, and their son (and Max) seemed super happy.
Then one day, Max showed back up in our yard. The Big Guy called the neighbors, who told him that they were frustrated with their son because he was already starting to neglect Max’s care. So now, we have Max back.
Here is the catch: Max’s leg isn’t fixed yet. He walks on it, sometimes, and can run – which amazes me, but its not fixed. The neighbors gave us his x-rays, so we don’t have to worry about that expense, but having his dislocated should be put back in will still be pricey. What do we do? I really do not want to spend more than a couple hundred dollars on this dog, because even though we love him like family at the end of the day he is still a dog.
Question: What do we do? Max seems perfectly happy besides a leg that is not completely functional, so I would feel bad putting him down. But, spending lots of money on vet bills really doesn’t fit into our debt-reduction plans.
Anyone have any ideas for me?

PrizeRebel is one of the leading rewards programs to take the online world by storm. In this review, everything about the program will be discussed, from how one can earn to what one can earn, but most importantly, whether or not it is a scam. Reward programs are becoming more and more popular each year, and it is important to know what you are walking into when signing up. So as to not waste any more time, let us review and see if this program is for you.
PrizeRebel – Quick Overview
What is Prize Rebel?
PrizeRebel is a task-oriented, online rewards program, where one earns points by completing tasks, which can then be traded for rewards such as gift cards, coupons or cash.
What Does it Cost?
PrizeRebel is free to join for life, as long as the program is available in the country you reside in. There are no charges when you join, but if a cash payout is made, taxes and so forth might be subtracted from the total amount.
Since the program is completely free to join, there will be no up-sales, but keep in mind that some of the online tasks one can do to earn might charge you. The paid tasks, however, is not a must-do, and can simply be avoided.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
A money-back guarantee is not offered, as it is not needed since the program is completely free to join.
A Short History
The program was first founded in 2007 and the website shows that they have since paid out over $17 million in rewards and that they have gained over 8 million members in the last 12 years.
Is PrizeRebel Legit?
No, the program is not a scam but is it worth it? Well, the program is over 12 years old and they have paid out quite a bit over the years to their millions of users. They, furthermore, provide a few ways to earn, rather than just the paid surveys, unlike most other reward programs. So, to put it short, they have millions of users that get paid, testimonials to prove so and the program has lasted more than a decade, which in itself is a heck of an accomplishment.
What About Support?
PrizeRebel has great support, for a reward program, as many of them do not offer good support at all. If you should run into trouble while using their platform, you can get the needed help in a few ways.
First of all, submit a ticket. If the problem you have encountered does not have an answer on the FAQ page, then one can submit a ticket to which they will respond, usually within 24-48 hours.
Next up, is the social media pages. PrizeRebel has a very large online community which is always active on their social media pages such as Facebook. If one of the other members cannot help you, the PrizeRebel team will respond and try to help you solve the problem.
What type of rewards do they offer and how does one get paid?
PR offers more or less the same types of rewards as most other programs, such as Gift Cards, coupons and even cash payouts via Paypal. Their points to $ ration are better than most other sites, as one only needs 100 points per dollar whether it is to be exchanged for gift cards or cash.
Now as for the rewards one can get, they include the following, but it is not limited to:
- Amazon Gift Cards
- Walmart Gift Cards
- eBay Gift Cards
- Steam Wallet Codes
- Apple iTunes Gift Cards
- Paypal Cash
- Playstation Store Gift Cards
- Codes for In-Game currency
Now as for how one gets paid, cash will be paid via Paypal and Gift Card codes and so forth can be sent via email and a few other ways.
How Do One Earn Points?
PR offers quite a few ways to earn points, from playing games to doing surveys. Offering different ways ensures that there is something for everyone. The ways one can earn include but are not limited to:
Surveys: Fill in surveys and answer questions in order to get rewarded with points.
Offers: Complete offers such as trying out apps and so forth to earn.
Games: Earn points by downloading and playing certain games.
Tasks: Perform online tasks in order to earn. Tasks may include searching for links and so forth. All tasks are done through the Figure Eight Program which is also used for Swagbucks.
Videos: Get rewarded for watching videos provided by the program, which may include a range of topics.
Challenges: Accomplish your daily challenges to earn extra points. Challenges are time-sensitive and usually completed once you have earned a certain amount of points.
Raffles: Use your already earned points to enter raffles, and stand the chance to win even more.
Contests: PrizeRebel will have a contest every other week where members compete to earn extra points. Contests are usually about who can complete the most surveys or earn the most points.
Lucky Numbers: Lucky numbers is the PrizeRebel version of the lotto, aka Jackpot. One pays a certain amount of points to choose 4 numbers with the hope that they are the lucky ones.
PrizeRebel – Pros
Instead of just earning by filling in surveys, PR offers other ways as well, such as playing games and so forth.
It is completely free to join the program.
They have a very good point to $ ratio, better than most other programs.
They have quite a lot of surveys, tasks and offers one can complete.
PR offers great support, especially for a reward program.
They have a very low payout threshold, with the ability to cash out as low as $5.
Like most other programs, one will not qualify for each and every survey.
Not all countries can participate in the program.
Not all tasks, surveys, offers and so forth are available in all countries.
It will take some time to earn a decent amount of points with the program. Some countries will have better luck than others and obviously it will also depend on how you complete your profile. Your location, age, profession and sometimes gender, will determine how much you can earn with rewards programs. Not everyone will qualify for the same amount of surveys or rewards. I would recommend combining PrizeRebel with other programs like Swagbucks if you want to earn a decent amount of cash or rewards.
Remember, this type of reward programs is not a way to earn a full-time income but rather a means to supplement your current income.
Do you use PrizeRebel or used it in the past?

U.S. stocks touched new records Friday during a 'quadruple-witching session,' which will see the expiration of December stock options along with stock index futures and options, after setting more records in the previous session.
Investors were also digesting an update on third-quarter U.S. GDP growth that showed strong consumer spending was offset by weaker business investment in inventories, while in the fourth quarter consumer spending climbed at its fastest pace in four months in November.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 98 points, or 0.4%, at 28,476, the S&P 500 index added 15 points, or 0.5% to 3,221, while the Nasdaq Composite index picked up 30 points, or 0.3%, at 8,917.
All three benchmarks set record intraday highs Friday.

Timely advice to single ladies: Attend your high school reunion; you just might find a new love there.
Ask former Social Security System president Corazon de la Paz-Bernardo, who married high school classmate Enrique V. Bernardo, President and Commissioner of ANZ Bank in Jakarta, Indonesia, 51 years after they graduated from Rizal High School, once the world’s largest high school in terms of enrolment.
That the whirlwind romance bloomed at all took De la Paz-Bernardo by surprise considering that while she and Ike were in the same class, they were not friends, hardly exchanging words in their four years together in the former provincial high school that has produced the likes of Senate Presidents Jovito Salonga and Neptali Gonzales, Senators Rene Cayetano and Rene Saguisag and National Artist Carlos “Botong” Francisco.
As she explains, students from Pasig (like Ike) and Pateros (like her) confined themselves to their own groups and did not really mingle as there was a healthy rivalry for honors between the two groups.
As it turned out, the former SSS chief graduated salutatorian while Bernardo got first honorable mention.
Other factors drew a natural divide between the two classmates. Explains De la Paz-Bernardo: “There was already a big group of Pateros students in our class so there seemed to be no need to befriend the Pasig guys.”
They also seemed to be worlds apart. “I was second to the youngest in our class,” the recent bride recalls. “I had just turned 15 when we graduated in 1956 – and was very thin, wore pigtails and had thick glasses. I was always running and playing with other tomboyish girls when not studying my lessons.”
In contrast, “Iking, as he was called then, “was a very good-looking fellow and was the crush of many of my girlfriends. He was guwapo [handsome], very intelligent and very much a gentleman. I never dreamt I’d get married to [him]!”
De la Paz-Bernardo says that she was not really looking for a new love, having been a widow since 1995 when her husband – Wenceslao de la Paz, one of the pillars of the energy industry in the Philippines – passed away four days after their 25th wedding anniversary.
“[But Iking] just came and things happened without any special effort or planning. I myself took everything as a matter of fact,” says the newly-elected chair of the National Movement for Free Elections and honorary president of the Geneva-based International Social Security Associations (ISSA).
The young Cora and Ike went their separate ways after graduation in 1956 and did not strike a friendship until they met again during a class reunion in 2006. Their conversation initially revolved around their mutual love for golf.
But the two Certified Public Accountants had time to nurture a friendship this time around because Bernardo by then had gone back in the Philippines for good, having retired in 2002 from his job in Jakarta.
She, meanwhile, still had her hands full at the SSS. Yet despite her packed schedule, the two managed to play golf for about six months with other friends from high school until Bernardo’s wife – Angelina R. Pineda-Bernardo – passed away in November 2006. He was grief stricken but he was encouraged by Cora and other friends to go back to golf as part of his long healing process.
From golf games, the meetings between the former high school classmates later included concerts and quiet dinners. She eventually noticed that he would come around to pick her up without their third classmate. But even then, she did not think that there was anything to it except a friendship that both needed at that time in their lives.
Then the friendship quickly developed into something else and after only a few months, the two decided, quietly and without fanfare, to get married. There were only 10 people at the wedding ceremony, including the happy couple and Fr. Aris Sison, the officiating priest.
Recounts De la Paz-Bernardo: “Ike’s second son was the best man, sponsor and reader. My youngest sister was matron of honor and sponsor, and her 23-year-old son was the ring bearer. Everything was hurriedly put together and friends only learned about our wedding weeks after it happened.”
She continues: “I really don’t know when we fell in love. We were comfortable with each other. We just decided to get married without fanfare. No parents had to be consulted or get permission from; they’ve all gone to a better world. We both had good first marriages so we didn’t have qualms about possible failures. Our children gave us their blessings and our siblings were happy for us to have found lifetime companions.”
But as her way of honoring her first husband, she decided to keep his name, such that she is now known as Corazon de la Paz-Bernardo. She still has the picture of Pat and their daughter, Cristina, as screensaver on her mobile phone and their other pictures in the home that she now shares with Bernardo in Rockwell Center.
She says she feels honored and proud to carry both names of “two very fine men.”
“They are two different people but in many ways, they are the same. They are both very good guys – kind, respectful, tender, responsible, quiet, gentle and caring. They are also good family men who believe in God and practice what they preach,” she cites.
She adds: “Of course, both love me unconditionally. They accept me for what I am – warts and all. I also learn from them. How can you not love them in return?
“I am so lucky to have found two very loving persons. They both have integrity and are respected by their peers. I have remained young looking because of them. Walang problema,” says the 71-year-old executive.
The couple has been married for a little over four years and she says it has been “a great journey.”
“We provide friendship and companionship to each other. We’ve traveled extensively as Pat and I did before. Ike and I have cruised together in the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, Norway and all the way up to the Arctic Circle. We’ve been to several countries in Africa and joined safaris in Tanzania and South Africa. In May, we plan on going to Spain for a few weeks with my eldest sister,” she says.
“In our twilight years, we hope to remain relatively healthy and enjoy being with our children and grandchildren,” says De la Paz-Bernardo, adding that she has no doubt that nobody could be happier for them than their former spouses. • | <urn:uuid:69c237fc-eb87-490d-b4bf-bdb37b320be8> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/33457/from-high-school-reunion-to-lifetime-union/ | 2020-07-08T11:08:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655896932.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20200708093606-20200708123606-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.985683 | 1,465 | [

Film Music Friday: Hauschka on the Collaborative Score for "Lion"
By Rachel Perkins, Associate Director, Film/TV & Visual Media • November 18, 2016
To score emotion or to score action? That’s every composer’s question. Hauschka answers it pretty intuitively with the score for Lion. And his score, created in collaboration with Dustin O’Halloran, is the only thing that could top the breathtaking cinematography and poignant story, about the Indian-Australian businessman Saroo Brierley who traveled the world searching for his biological parents. Seeing as there are a lot of train scenes, it makes sense that the composers’ piano chops and experimental approach to shaping sound carry you away.
After I talked with Hauschka, he hopped on a plane to NYC for the premiere – so goes the life of a touring composer who is working on three new films and finishing a record, due out early next year. We will be front row when he circles back to Los Angeles next year during his world tour.
How did you get involved with Lion?
I was performing in Melbourne, and on my way to the venue my publisher was calling me and saying “There might be a director coming to the show, could you put him on the guest list?” A lot of times students love what I’m doing, and they ask me “Can I use your music for our student project?” So I was expecting a student film. After the show, these two guys were standing in the student line, and he said “I’m Garth Davis, I’m a director from Melbourne and we would love to talk to you about my film, maybe you are interested”…When we met afterwards, he was showing me a couple of iPhone pictures...it was just the train in front of this epic jungle, and I thought “this looks too good for a student film.”
I was talking in the concert that I consider my music like a high speed train ride with open windows with a lot of impressions while you are riding. He said he was very inspired by that, and felt that my music was mainly for the first part of the film when the kid is in India and there are a lot of things going on, train rides and catastrophes and all that stuff.
Did you know from the beginning that you would be co-scoring Lion with Dustin?
[Garth Davis] said he already had someone else in mind for the second half. I said “Who is it?” and he said “Dustin O’Halloran,” and I said “Oh, he’s a good friend of mine, for 14 year. He was at my wedding, we know each other well and if there’s somebody I could imagine writing with it’s Dustin.” A big film like that, you have to deal with a lot of opinions from all sorts of sides, and for a collaboration process you need to have people without ego, which is not easy to find. We had already been on tour many times together and there was never a single instance where we put each other in the background, we were always sharing equally.
So it was a collaborative process?
Yeah it was a collaborative process, it didn’t matter in the end who gave input, it just means you’re doing a project together. And if Dustin were sick and I wrote the whole thing, it still would have been our project.
Did you write separately, or together in LA or Germany?
I was in Dusseldorf, he was in LA, and we said “Let’s take the first weeks exploring things for ourselves and forwarding it and if we find something great, let’s grab it. We never had the first and second half separate, they were together. Some felt like flashbacks of music in the way it had to be made. We composed the themes for certain parts of the film - the opening theme, for example, is one that came out of a cue that I had written in the beginning called the “River” cue. Then we adapted this melody that Dustin was playing some chords for, so in a way the themes happened organically, and we had a lot of fun and could discuss a lot. I think that’s the perfect way to work a score, to work on the same parts together. You’re not so alone, and you have much more options.
There are a lot of strings in this score.
Both of us had quartet pieces we had written in our music. On a record, strings would come in, on a small scale. I actually had a one-year residency with the Symphonic Orchestra the year before so I was writing these big 40-minute orchestral pieces for a classical season. There was an evening with three composers [Arvo Pärt, Sibelius and me]. We each had 30 minutes of music and in a way I was getting very much into orchestration.
I’ve never studied music. I was actually studying medicine. So in a way I was never in a classical music school. I was raised in the church, and in my family everything was about music – singing, arranging on the spot, quiet pieces. It was much more intuitive. So arranging for an orchestra is not so difficult for me.
How did you switch from medicine to music?
Medicine was always something I just liked. I was disappointed with the social aspect. It was too business focused, and I felt like I would be a slave to the pharma industry. Doing things I’m not supposed to do, but that I’m forced to do. That’s the way I saw myself. I don’t mean to generalize – there are many doctors doing a great job. You have the same conflict in music as well. You have to be honest and find a clear attitude. It’s not so easy. But in medicine, I had the feeling that status was so important. I wasn’t surrounded by so many cool people at that time. Over the years I’ve met a lot of interesting musicians who are doctors by trade and create music as a hobby. I think there’s a connection between medicine and music in a way, a lot of academic people play classical instruments.
What influences you the greatest?
Life. I’m constantly searching. I’m constantly interested. We’re here such a short time on Earth, we should use anything to deepen our knowledge and grow in the ability to look at things. What else is worth that in life to explore? I don’t see myself working for status. Searching for knowledge gives you a lot to explore. In music, what I like is to find music that is real. Music that exists in me today. That’s a disaster because if I’m recording it today, tomorrow it’s already over and I’m a different person.
Do you ever have creative blocks?
No, not yet. I have released 15 albums since 2001. This next year I’m releasing another one and working on a couple of EPs. The range of music I’m putting out there is quite big, from classical compositions to techno music. For the next record, I’m collaborating with a hip-hop artist and three rappers. I’ve always been interested in hip-hop music – like N.E.R.D. and Pharrell Williams. I listened to A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill growing up. The energy in the music is so powerful. Music that is really soulful, that’s what touches me. I wanted to go back and incorporate that, and maybe because I’m searching, I’m not getting stuck.
What are you working on right now? What’s slated for next year?
I’ve written a cello concerto that will be performed at the beginning of next year for a Swiss cellist, Nicolas Altstedt, in three places. The first premiere was a month ago in Switzerland, in Basel, and the next one will be in Duisburg, Germany with the Duisburg Philharmonic Orchestra and another one in London at The King’s Place. I’ve written a chamber concerto for a chamber group that will also be performed in the first half of next year. And then I have the record release in March, and I’m doing some touring, and I guess in between I’m working on movies.
Has there been a pivotal point in your career?
Yes, I would say when I discovered the music theory of John Cage. I discovered him after releasing my album The Prepared Piano. Like right now, we’re sitting here – we hear jazz, we hear the girl group back there, and we hear traffic. And then this passes by [::points to car::], then we hear a lady coming by with a kid, and sometimes you have rhythms and sounds and noise. And I think music in a way is for me something like that – I’m standing in a place and closing my eyes and I hear certain things from everywhere. Of course when you compose, you can organize. I am trying to keep the music I record rough, and because of that it sounds like many different sound sources clashing into each other.
See to me, the noise just seems over-stimulating.
The advantage is you can have everything in focus. And that’s what I’m doing on my records. Working that way on a piano, doing it with your hands – put some reverb on, and you do this. [::gestures with hands::] You make a loop and record it – play some of the stuff on top, turn everything down, pure piano there – that’s how I play live. Sometimes I approach films like that and sometimes I just feel like I don’t need all of that. I’ll sit down with just pure piano. So in a way every project, every film is new, even with my own style. I try to get rid of my own attachment.

Coming into Tyron Woodley vs Gilbert Burns tonight, I feel like the question on everybody's mind was: "What version of Tyron Woodley are we gonna see?"
We knew Gilbert Burns would show up ready for a scrap - as he always does, even on short notice - but if the version of Woodley that fought Usman stepped into the Apex, would that be enough to take Burns down?
In my eyes, if the Tyron Woodley that fought, say, Darren Till, showed up at the UFC Apex, he would EASILY leave victorious, but did think, "How realistic was that?" After all, Woodley is 38 years old, was coming off one of the most bizarre and unimpressive performances of his career, and a long layoff on top of that.
Welp - it turns out it wasn't realistic at all! The Tyron Woodley that fought Kamaru Usman showed up, and the BEST version of Gilbert Burns we've ever seen by far met him across the octagon! Burns then proceeded to kick the everliving shit out of the former UFC Welterweight Champ for five straight rounds! He dropped Woodley multiple times, worked him in every area, CONSTANTLY had him on his back foot...it was a some sight to see!
Woodley looked completely and utterly defeated morally and out of the fight by the second round, too. He may not have much time left in the cage. I feel like I half respected a retirement after that one.
Hell of a card tonight tho - awesome fights from start to finish! Congrats to Gilbert Burns and thanks to everyone who has followed along here on Barstool! | <urn:uuid:037c65f8-8a49-410e-b07a-546cbb3a82dc> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/2509840/gilbert-burns-kicked-the-shit-outta-tyron-woodley-in-tonights-ufc-main-event | 2020-07-10T06:57:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655906214.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20200710050953-20200710080953-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.978516 | 346 | [

I wasn’t expecting gamplay footage this week! It’s a promising first showing, you can really feel the heft behind each attack, especially when they connect, and the gore system is exactly what I’m after – the headless rag doll was brutal! While I think the pace of the swings could be increased a tad just to stay faithful to its frantic, violent viking roots, I think this is very encouraging!
February 23, 2018 at 7:10 pm #2658
This looks pretty much exactly like what I was hoping for! Great atmosphere, a bit slowed down and heavier-feeling than Rune Classic, and I love it! The movement already looks satisfying, visual design is outstanding, sound and music is absolutely being done right…! Movement and attack speed probably will keep being iterated on within reason, especially during Beta, but HEL, it already looks way more enjoyable than For Honor!
I love the axe!
Great, great job, Human Head!
Will we get the return of the beyond-awesome Roman Sword/Viking Axe combat stance? It’s so f***ing badass and savage-looking!
February 23, 2018 at 8:31 pm #2659
I have a few things to say.
Weapon Attack Combos
In the first Rune there were some weapons which had pretty useless attack combos. Sometimes it did not make any sense to use attack move combos at all, you were better off just spamming the first attack over and over.
After watching the video, I kind of get the same feeling again. The follow up attack, swinging the axe back from left to right looks weak and pointless, it does not give you any real advantage. It would be great if you could do something to change this somehow.
Maybe you could try to make it feel more rewarding for players to hit the combos. Perhaps by increasing the attack speed or damage with every successful hit or something like that. Give us a reason to use the combos.
While I also prefer the egg-shaped movement to the other option, I do wish there would be a few more ways to move around when you are fighting. Maybe some kind of short charge, moving towards an enemy and pushing him back with the shield. Or getting down, quickly moving to the side of an enemy and hitting him in the leg or in the gut. Or just a basic, straight-forward kick, like the one in the first Rune.
Controller Supported Combat
I also hope you make it possible to play the game with a game controller as an alternative to the classic keyboard+mouse combination. And if you do that you should also enable some sort of automatic aiming. Not perfect aiming, not cheat aiming, but basic aiming, something to keep the enemy you have attacked targeted for a short while after the first attack. The challenge then would be hitting movement and attack combo buttons at the right time instead of struggling to keep the enemy in sight. It would make the game more fun to play with a controller.
Other than that, the head coming off at the end of the video looked pretty awesome. The game definitely has some potential.
February 27, 2018 at 9:08 am #2729
Thanks everyone! We’re hard at work incorporating all of your feedback into the game and putting together more gameplay videos for you. Keep the feedback coming!
March 1, 2018 at 5:58 am #2777
Its really interesting seeing the feedback here versus in the other post in general.
March 4, 2019 at 2:59 am #10391
Why, not bad! Not bad at all, i’d say. I actually liked what i saw! Previously when i was watching developer streams, i had that strong feeling that everything was… i dunno, weightless, too fast-moving? Like if weapons had no weight, characters moved too lightly… now i can actually feel the weight behind the screen. Now, as Handaxe mentioned above, i think it would be fair to say that, well, combos are in demand, like in the original Rune. Just as before, you press lmb one time – character makes one slash move with a weapon, you hit lmb a few times – you get a combo attack like in the original game; no need to re-invent the wheel here, everything was just perfect 18 years ago. Oh, and we also need that “sightless screen” when you aim just with mouselook, like in the original. Just make it like in classic Rune, really, that would be perfect.
March 5, 2019 at 3:47 pm #10393
Would be awesome to have a Vitki class (Rune Sorcerer) in the game. With all the runic correspondences with the elements, necromancy, etc as spells…
Loving it so far!

MISSION — The city council is pushing a proposed bond election to November after members expressed a desire for more time reduce the number of propositions they want to place on the ballot and more time to communicate with the public about the need for the projects.
The consensus among the council members to delay the bond election until November was reached during a workshop held Wednesday evening during which they also suggested cutting down the number of propositions from the 18 that were initially proposed.
Those 18 propositions were for the following projects:
-Drainage improvements: $10 million
-Boys & Girls Club facility: $5 million
-Land acquisitions: $3 million
-Major N. St. Bridges improvements: $5 million
-Remodeling of city facilities: $4.8 million
-Golf course improvements: $1 million
-Relocation and new animal shelter: $1 million
-City information technology: $7 million
-New library: $10 million
-Two satellite libraries: $3 million
-Museum improvements: $3 million
-Park improvements $5.6 million
-Swimming pool: $3 million
-Public safety training center: $3 million
-Relocation of fire and police station number 2: $3 million
-Downtown parking improvements: $1 million
-Sidewalks: $2 million
-Street improvements: $7.5 million
The city’s bond counsel, Jesus “Chuy” Ramirez of the J. Ramirez Law Firm of San Juan, said that trying to pass just 10 propositions was “tough” and raised the possibility that constituents were opposed to just one or two of them, they could decide to just reject all of them.
“All I am saying is that if you have one or two propositions that people are opposed to, the people who are opposed to that may have the ability to go in there and just oppose everything,” Ramirez said.
He also noted that the city is not required to have a bond election and could fund these projects by instead issuing certificates of obligation, or CO bonds, which don’t require voter approval.
Mission Mayor Armando O’Caña, however, said they decided to go with an election because they want the voters to decide.
But Ramirez warned that the risk with that is if a proposition is rejected by the voters, the city cannot fund that project through certificates of obligations for three years.
“Under the worst circumstances or emergencies or anything, you will not be able to do that project,” Ramirez said. “You will be prohibited from doing that.”
For Council member Norie Gonzalez Garza, that was too big a risk to take for a project like drainage improvements.
“The ones that I feel are the most important, are the drainage and streets,” Gonzalez Garza said. “I think that’s the most important project on this whole list and if we run the risk of not having the option of going out for certificates of obligation for three years, I think that would be devastating to our city.”
She also pointed out that in about three weeks, the city would be receiving a drainage assessment that would include recommendations for drainage improvements
“And we need to be ready on day one,” she said. “We need to hit the ground running.”
Council member Ruben Plata agreed that drainage was too important a project to risk it being rejected.
“I don’t think that should even be put on the ballot,” he said. “It’s something that needs to be done.”
But Plata went further, suggesting that the list of propositions be heavily narrowed down and questioned whether the city was in a financial position to service those projects.
“I think if we narrow it down — maybe drainage, maybe a park, maybe this — it’d be a lot easier to have line items on the (ballot) than having 18 items and $78 million,” Plata said. “If we go out for $78 million, I will vote against it and I would campaign against it.”
There was also the concern about funding the election for the bonds.
Initially, the city was looking to hold the bond election in May when two places on the city council will also be on the ballot.
However, council member Jessica Ortega-Ochoa expressed concern over that would give the city enough time to communicate with their constituents and suggested holding town hall meetings for that purpose.
“My concern is if we do this for May, it’s too soon for us to work together as a city to inform our constituents the needs and wants for us to move to the future,” Ortega-Ochoa said. “I think if we wait for a November election or sometime next year in May, that gives us enough time to pinpoint the different areas that we really want, instead of getting this whole list and then them saying no.”
O’Caña, however, reminded the council members that holding a special election in November would cost the city at least an additional $45,000.
However, Plata appeared to think it was worth it.
“Mayor O’Caña, if we’re going to go for $78 million I think $45,000 is not going to make a difference,” Plata said, “but you have the public, you have a (larger) percentage of the citizens giving you their feedback versus only having about 3-4,000 people out of a 100,000 people on a council election.”
The rest of the council agreed and, with the matter of when to have the election settled, O’Caña asked the council to decide which projects to place on the ballot and which they wanted to fund through CO bonds.
After the propositions are decided on, the council plans to hold town hall meetings for the public. | <urn:uuid:6d84e2f8-2b10-4610-bd4f-c45071027780> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://www.themonitor.com/2020/01/23/mission-bond-election-pushed-november/ | 2020-07-13T22:15:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657146845.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20200713194203-20200713224203-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.972111 | 1,254 | [

This bike is roughly from 1898-1899. it has the wrong handlebars and also would not have had the front brake. It originally would have had drop bars (racing) and wold not need the front brake because it has a fixed cog rear wheel. The customer specified the upright bars and brake and we we able to oblige him. Curtis actually had to fabricate the "knuckle" on the brake rod (see photo). The bike has really nice Rollfast tires and wooden rims. Original paint and head badge. Saddle is also wrong. Also of note are the early straight pull hubs / spokes. Very cool bike. Enjoy the photos. | <urn:uuid:0646a581-cc1d-4faa-b6eb-d74a91e35a27> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://bikeville.blogspot.com/2016/02/ | 2020-07-16T17:46:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657172545.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716153247-20200716183247-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.979417 | 224 | [

The LingosMio Story
Alok, the founder of LingosMio has been fond of learning foreign languages for a long time.
He believes that ever since he learnt Spanish, his life changed. He says his life has 2 phases, before learning a foreign language and after.
A bit over a year ago he took a trip to South America. Whilst travelling across most countries was a breeze since he spoke Spanish, he feels he missed out on Brazil since he did not speak Portuguese. He came back and decided to learn Portuguese. Since it was difficult to find a good tutor, Alok looked online, but there weren’t any good resources he could find. That’s when the idea of LingosMio came up.
LingosMio is a language-learning platform where you can learn languages step by step using online courses.
What makes LingosMio different?
To put it in one line: With LingosMio you will learn the language not the phrases.
With other platforms you can learn the words and learn up phrases. But LingosMio has online interactive courses, which allow you to really learn a language.
Alok says “Languages are a thought process and it’s important to understand that thought process in order to be fluent in the language. People try to memorise, which is the reason most people give up on learning languages very quickly. When you learnt Mathematics did you memorise the result of each and every multiplication or did you learn how the multiplication was done. Similarly you need to understand the root of each word and how to use
the words in order to become fluent in the language.”
The courses at LingosMio are created with this mindset.
Most language learners have a problem taking part in a conversation. At LingosMio the most important thing in the courses is the accent on conversational skills and the actual use of the language. The courses have a great focus on speaking and listening skills, which is not something you find in other language programs.
LingosMio was only made open to public in January 2015 and already has more than 10,000 registered users from over 200 countries. LingosMio offer courses in Spanish, English, Hindi and Mandarin Chinese. Languages such as Hindi and Mandarin have never been taught online in this manner.

Is it 1950?
Then why am I having to listen to yet another mental midget whip up fear from 60 years ago?
The Commies are coming! The Commies are coming!
It seems that the art of lying is rubbing off on all those Congressional enablers of Donald Trump…..just recently the chants of the Commies are coming could be heard from a rally of GOPer Matt Shea of Washington…..
Washington state Republican representative Matt Shea and several associates regaled an audience with conspiracy theories, separatist visions, and exhortations for listeners to arm themselves ahead of a looming civil war, at a gathering at a remote north-eastern religious compound last year.
In recordings obtained by the Guardian, Shea and Jack Robertson, also known as radio personality John Jacob Schmidt, invoked their visions and fears of a violent leftist revolt in speeches at the 2018 God and Country event in Marble.
The Guardian last week published leaked chat records in which Shea and Robertson were revealed to have discussed the use of surveillance, “psyops” and violence against liberal and leftist activists. | <urn:uuid:4b06c45b-1878-46c4-81c1-f05262f01a3e> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://lobotero.com/2019/05/09/fear-an-old-foe/ | 2020-07-16T16:05:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657172545.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20200716153247-20200716183247-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.954105 | 219 | [

Call For Local Augusta Flood Damage Remediation Services
Our technicians have the passion and training to assist your Augusta water damage.
There are many situations which can cause flood damage to your home. Severe storms, snowmelt, and overflowing rivers are just a few of the things that can cause flood damage to any given home. However, due to your unique geographic position, your home is far more likely to experience flood damage from a severe storm or an overflowing river.
A severe storm swept into the city of Augusta and caused flood damage to many homes, including yours. The weak spot of your roof allowed rainwater to drip and pool in your attic. Sometimes water damage inside of an attic can go unnoticed for some time. However, in the case of your home, the floodwaters left a very noticeable water stain on the ceiling of your office. While the stain may be unpleasant to look at, it certainly helped you find the damage right away, which allowed you to reach out for help just as quickly.
When you contact SERVPRO, we immediately begin to assemble a team of our expertly trained water damage restoration technicians (WRT) to send to your home. We specialize in water damage remediation and work around your schedule. Whenever you need us, day or night, weekend or day, we can send technicians to your location.

Well May has passed in a blur even though on paper we had very little planned. With a mere two flights home this month it was a very quiet month on the travel front despite having two bank holidays this month. I haven’t explored anywhere new at all but given how busy the past three months have been, it has been nice just spending time in Glasgow. It is just a shame we haven’t had some of this beautiful weather than the south of England have been having!
Most Popular Blogs Published This Month
Saving Money For Travel – Top Picks From What Other Travel Bloggers Say – In this post I round up some of the best travel blogs about saving money for travel and write out my top tips. Saving is something I need to work on in the next few months so I’m hoping I can put my research to good use.
Top Ways To Travel as a Student – As I keep talking about I will be starting university in September and because of this I am going to have to change the way I travel. I have been trawling the internet for ideas of how I can travel as a student cheaply, there really is a lot of options out there it seems.
My Month In Numbers Infographic
Highlight(s) Of The Month
So there has been a few highlights of this month, all personal and life based as like I mentioned above I haven’t done any travelling this month.
- My best friend got married and I was bridesmaid for her – the whole weekend was fantastic despite tiring. It was such a weird thing seeing someone my own age getting married but oh so lovely at the same time. She looked beautiful and I wish them all the happiness in the world. I’m also waiting for their mini-honeymoon pictures because I was living my travel through them in Barcelona this month!
- I completed my 10k Race For Life in 47 minutes that’s 13 minutes quicker than I was hoping. Needless to say I was sore for an entire week after and still haven’t gotten back in to my gym routine. I have now set myself the goal to complete a half marathon next year.
- MY CAT HAS BEEN FOUND, you might remember last month I wrote about my cat being missing well six weeks and two days later she has been found – shut in a stable block. How on earth she survived for that long without water and food I will never know but it just reminds you how amazing some animals are! I now cannot wait to see her in June when I visit my parents home.
- I got a new job. I’m sure I have mentioned this in a few of my month summaries as well as on social media but I have had nothing but hassle with jobs in Glasgow however this month I got myself another job being a host in a popular west end restaurant called Panevino. The food and atmosphere is awesome so come say hi.
- Enjoying a rare night out at the beginning of the month it was my boyfriends birthday and we spent the evening enjoying the famous American style diner that is Hard Rock Cafe followed by watching Pompeii at the cinema. It is so rare we go out for food or a film that I enjoyed it much more than a normal person would.
Lowlight Of The Month
Well apart from not travelling, not visiting anywhere new and just generally having very itchy feet this month. My lowlight is failing a skills literacy test – this test is something I have to pass my August so that I can begin my degree course in September. I wouldn’t be so miserable about failing but as I only needed one more mark to pass, I was pretty gutted! Still I have another chance to o the test so all is not lost.
Blogs Posts I’ve Loved This Month
Flora The Explorer – Falling for a Traveller: My on the road relationship – This post was from the heart and totally honest, I absolutely loved it. When you are a full time traveller I don’t think people understand how hard it is to make a relationship work, especially when you both have different plans. This certainly makes you understand the reality of that.
Taylor Hearts Travel – Things to do in London: #7POW – I have recently started following Taylor Hearts Travel and I love her weekly features from a roundup of travel competitions to her #7POW. This particular post about London was brilliantly written and full of quirky ideas. Knowing that I will be living in London come September I am on the look out for anything fun and quirky I can fill my spare time with.
Backpacker Banter – The true cost of travelling – Chris writes so honestly about everything, the amazing parts of travel and the not so amazing parts. The topic of this one is something any traveller can relate too, and I certainly found it comforting to read that other people can also count the amount of ‘real friends’ they have on one hand.
Coming Next Month
Unfortunately June will be another month with very little travel, so I will be making the most of my time in Glasgow and hopefully exploring some of this beautiful city as the build up to the commonwealth games begins. I have a few more posts to share with you about places I have already travelled to this year along with some more money/student travel talk. And maybe by the end of June I will have travel plans for the first two weeks of September… | <urn:uuid:bd47945d-d8b2-47bd-8777-e61fac5e7287> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://thelittlebackpacker.com/2014/06/01/may-on-the-little-backpacker/ | 2020-07-06T11:31:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655880616.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706104839-20200706134839-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.974389 | 1,120 | [

GENEVA, IL. – June 29, 2016. Women experience many distinct life stages that can directly impact hair health. From the joys of being a new mom to the midlife changes that happen during menopause, fluctuating hormones are responsible for temporary postpartum hair loss and thinning hair that is common as women go through “the change”. While hair loss during these two life stages are not unusual, women should be aware of certain factors that can contribute to hair loss and how proper nutrition can promote good hair growth.
Postpartum Hair Loss
Hair loss that occurs following pregnancy (postpartum hair loss) is the most common reason that women undergo abnormal hair shedding — a condition called telogen effluvium. Hair shedding begins a few weeks to three months after delivery and typically lasts less than six months. However, in rare cases, hair shedding post-pregnancy can last up to one year.
Hormonal changes during pregnancy can directly impact hair growth and density. For example, high estrogen levels during pregnancy actually maintain many hairs from being shed — making hair appear thicker or healthier looking. However, when estrogen levels fall postpartum, these hairs are shed all at once and restore the normal percentages of growing and shedding hairs on the scalp.
“New moms can experience a roller coaster of emotions after childbirth, and noticeable changes in the density of their hair can be alarming for some women if they are not expecting it,” said Bernard P. Nusbaum, MD, FISHRS (Miami, Fla.). “While postpartum hair loss is normal, if shedding progresses after one year or if shedding stops but regrowth does not result in the density that was present prior to pregnancy, women should seek a consultation with a hair restoration physician.”
In addition to fluctuating estrogen levels, additional factors such as stress, blood loss and other hormonal changes may play a role in postpartum hair loss. Although Dr. Nusbaum noted that there is no way to prevent or minimize postpartum hair loss, he finds that prenatal vitamins prescribed during pregnancy are beneficial for hair health and good protein intake is always beneficial for good hair growth.
Hair Loss During Menopause
Changes in hair density that occur during menopause are quite common, with most studies showing that the percentage of women over age 50 with hair thinning is approximately 40 percent — and this percentage increases with age.
In some cases, there is a genetic or endocrine predisposition for hair loss in menopausal women. For example, women who have male or female relatives with hair loss may be predisposed to menopausal hair loss, and endocrine diseases such as thyroid or those associated with excess levels or increased sensitivity to androgens (male hormones) can be a factor in this type of hair loss. In addition, iron deficiency can also impact hair loss in women.
But in the majority of cases, hormonal changes associated with menopause are directly responsible for adversely affecting hair follicles.
“When you think of the most common symptoms of menopause, hot flashes, memory loss and weight gain are usually at the top of the list. Hair loss is usually not on a woman’s radar of symptoms, so it can take some women by surprise and cause considerable stress. If a woman notices a widened part, receding hair at the temples or more scalp visible through the hair, these are early signs of hair loss that need to be evaluated by an expert in hair loss,” said Dr. Nusbaum.
While hair loss that occurs during menopause is largely unavoidable, the good news is there are several safe and effective treatments that can help. Dr. Nusbaum noted that topically applied minoxidil, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and platelet-rich plasma injections can be used singly or in combination to promote hair growth. In some cases, the “off label” use of finasteride can be effective. For women with diffuse thinning that is widespread or has not responded to medical therapies, hair restoration surgery is a good option. When performed by the right physician, today’s hair restoration surgery safely and effectively creates natural-looking, permanent results that are virtually undetectable.
“As women approach menopause, there are several things they can do to keep hair as healthy as possible. Good protein intake, maintaining normal vitamin D and iron levels, and taking a multivitamin without Vitamin A — which is deleterious to hair — are helpful. It’s also important to note that some of the current anti-aging regimens that contain testosterone or DHEA can actually make hair loss worse in those suffering from menopause-related hair loss,” said Dr. Nusbaum.

Postliposuction Care: Open Drainage and Bimodal Compression
The goal of postliposuction care is to minimize edema, bruising, and patient discomfort. The postoperative pain and edema resulting from sutured incisions and prolonged postliposuction compression are unnecessary traditions from the days before the tumescent technique.
Early liposuction was so bloody that patients often had to donate and bank their own blood before surgery and receive a transfusion after surgery. Because of this significant bleeding, providing hemostasis and preventing hematomas or seromas were the primary goals of postliposuction external compression. Prolonged high-grade compression was thought to be necessary to prevent or diminish the size of hematomas and seromas.
With the advent of the tumescent technique, with its profound vasoconstriction and surgical hemostasis, the imperatives of postliposuction care have changed. Some surgeons, however, are still unfamiliar with the technique of open drainage and bimodal compression.
This chapter explores techniques that minimize postliposuction discomfort and accelerate the patient’s return to normal activities. The reader is encouraged to evaluate the suggested procedures by performing simple clinical comparisons between the newer methods of open drainage and traditional methods of sutured incisions.
Liposuction causes subcutaneous bleeding and damage to subcutaneous lymphatic capillaries (see Chapter 11). The combination of subcutaneous bleeding and impaired lymphatic drainage entraps large, osmotically active molecules, resulting in prolonged osmotic edema. Any technique for postliposuction care that contributes to this osmotic edema will increase the degree of postliposuction edema, pain, and bruising.
Traditional liposuction and postliposuction techniques often produce an unnecessary degree of prolonged healing and edema, as follows:
- Incomplete tumescent infiltration leads to subcutaneous bleeding, encourages postoperative subcutaneous inflammation, and augments postoperative edema. The superwet technique is an example of suboptimal tumescent infiltration.
- Sutured liposuction incisions prevent percutaneous drainage of residual blood-tinged anesthetic solution and encourage subcutaneous edema.
- Long-term use of high-compression, postliposuction elastic garments compresses and impairs subcutaneous lymphatic capillaries and further blocks lymphatic uptake of large, osmotically active molecules.
A more efficient and effective method is available for postliposuction care.
The ideal method for postliposuction care prevents problems before they occur. Prolonged edema, excessive bruising, and persistent inflammation are the most bothersome and most common undesirable sequelae of liposuction. These problems largely can be avoided with a rational, scientific approach to postliposuction care.
One successful method of postliposuction care utilizes open drainage, special superabsorbent pads that provide distributive compression, and bimodal compression.
Open drainage after tumescent liposuction refers to the technique for maximizing the drainage of blood-tinged anesthetic solution through the following:
- Using adits or minuscule punch excisions to facilitate postoperative drainage
- Placing adits in strategic locations to encourage gravity-assisted drainage
- Allowing incisions to remain open instead of being closed with sutures
Open drainage requires the use of superabsorbent, high-capacity, and comfortable absorptive pads.
Compression. Compression sponges are a combination of superabsorptive sponges and compression pads (Figures 30-1 and 30-2).
Absorptive sponges are required for containment of postoperative blood-tinged drainage. Containing the drainage avoids alarming the patient and prevents staining of clothing and furniture. Complete absorption and containment of the drainage allows the patient to be mobile and sociable.
The copious drainage after tumescent liposuction requires absorptive pads with a special design. Compared with disposable paper diapers, the post–tumescent liposuction absorptive pads have twice the thickness of absorptive paper pulp and twice the amount of superabsorbent powder (SAP) to provide maximum absorptive capacity (see later discussion).
Compression pads are postoperative cushions placed over liposuctioned areas to distribute the compression provided by an elastic garment in a smooth and uniform manner. Uniform, gentle compression of subcutaneous tissue after liposuction compresses or shrinks the gaps within the interstitial collagen of the dermis. Thus dermal compression prevents bruising by blocking the percolation of red blood cells toward the epidermis.
Technique. An effective, practical means of applying the compression-absorption pads over the targeted areas is to use a combination of few strips of paper tape and elastic tube netting, similar to the method of applying dressings over burn wounds. After the compression-absorption pads are well positioned, one can apply the elastic compression garment. The optimal garment in this regard must be able to accommodate bulk of the pads, and the pads must be easy for the patient to doff and don without assistance (Figure 30-3).
Bimodal compression refers to the sequential use of two degrees of postliposuction compression as follows:
- A high degree of compression is maintained while drainage persists and for 24 hours after drainage has ceased.
- Mild compression is sufficient beyond the 24 hours after all drainage has ceased.
Improved postliposuction care using open drainage, distributive compression, and bimodal compression is the result of uncomplicated clinical research. It was developed by comparing different clinical techniques in terms of postoperative edema, bruising, tenderness, comfort, convenience, personal hygiene, and patient preference. The clinical advantages of using open drainage and bimodal compression instead of prolonged high compression and sutured incisions become apparent and make a formal statistical test unnecessary.
Risk Reduction. With early liposuction, cannulas were large and required large incisions, which in turn required sutures for proper healing. With the tumescent technique and microcannulas, incisions are minuscule, and postliposuction healing is better when incisions are not closed with sutures.
Using sutures to close an incision was seen as necessary to prevent infections. Since the advent of nearly bloodless tumescent liposuction, many of the problems that necessitated closure of incisions with sutures no longer exist. Without tumescent vasoconstriction there was a relatively high incidence of hematomas and seromas, which provide an avascular medium for bacterial growth and infection. An open incision was believed to be a portal of entry for an infection.
With the tumescent technique, hematomas are rare, and the incidence of seromas is virtually eliminated by open drainage and good compression. Tumescent lidocaine further reduces the risks of infection because residual interstitial lidocaine is bactericidal.
Thus, the tumescent technique has reduced the risk factors for infection, and open drainage further reduces the risks.
Box 30-1 describes an exercise for a bilateral comparison of open drainage and sutures.
The trauma associated with tumescent liposuction differs from other types of trauma. The discriminating trauma of tumescent liposuction is controlled and precisely limited to adipose tissue. The superjacent dermis and subjacent muscle are not traumatized.
In contrast, the nondiscriminating trauma of crush injuries or the thermal trauma of burn injuries is typically associated with the third-spacing phenomenon. Third spacing results from the massive fluid shift from the intravascular space and interstitial space into the third space of a wound.
The high interstitial hydrostatic pressure and the intense vasoconstriction produced by tumescent technique preclude the occurrence of third spacing. Consequently, no intravenous (IV) fluid replacement is necessary with tumescent liposuction.
The tumescent technique’s profound vasoconstriction minimizes trauma-induced hemorrhage, inflammation, and edema. The most significant factors producing edema and inflammation after tumescent liposuction are as follows:
- Residual blood-tinged anesthetic solution, which contains trauma-induced inflammatory mediators and whole blood (approximately 1% to 2% by volume)
- Residual traumatized or necrotic adipose tissue
After tumescent liposuction the residual subcutaneous blood-tinged anesthetic fluid contains an excess of osmotically active macromolecules. After the widespread disruption of subcutaneous lymphatic capillaries by liposuction, these macromolecules cannot be resorbed and remain within the subcutaneous wound. The resulting osmotic gradient slowly produces net diffusion of fluid out of the intravascular space and into the subcutaneous wound. The clinical effect of this persistent subcutaneous hypertonic fluid is an insidious, protracted lymphatic edema (Figure 30-4).
To prevent this posttumescent liposuction edema, the surgeon actively promotes the rapid drainage of the inflammatory hyperosmotic fluid by using adits, leaving the incisions open (without sutures), and using bimodal compression.
Prevention or Treatment
Once postliposuction edema has occurred, little can be done to facilitate its resolution safely. Chronic lymphostasis may improve with mild intermittent compression, which augments lymphatic drainage.
For acute postliposuction edema, little evidence supports the assertion that therapeutic maneuvers such as massage therapy, intermittent external compression, or external ultrasound help resolve swelling. The temporary lymphostasis associated with routine tumescent liposuction rarely requires any therapeutic intervention other than early ambulation and physical activity. Postliposuction massage therapy may provide some short-term improvement, but no evidence indicates long-term beneficial effects.
The best approach to dealing with edema is to prevent its occurrence in any way possible. Open drainage and bimodal compression make a dramatic difference by decreasing the immediate postliposuction edema, bruising, and pain.
Even with open drainage, mild edema has its onset after drainage has ceased (Figure 30-5). With or without continued compression, this prolonged low-grade edema gradually decreases over several weeks. Because mild compression provides additional comfort during the initial weeks after surgery, some patients continue to wear a mild-compression garment for several days or weeks. Other patients, especially males, find the hassles of wearing an elastic compression garment outweigh its benefits.
Optimal postliposuction healing requires rapid and maximal drainage of blood-tinged tumescent anesthetic solution. This is best achieved by the following:
- Adits and open incisions (nonsutured)
- Superabsorbent compression sponges
- Optimal bimodal elastic compression garments
Adits. A microadit used in tumescent liposuction is a minuscule circular hole made by a tiny (1.0-mm, 1.5-mm, or 2-mm) skin biopsy punch. Adits facilitate and promote the open drainage of residual blood-tinged anesthetic solution associated with tumescent liposuction (see Chapters 27 and 28).
These small skin biopsy punches leave virtually no scars. Thus these punch excisions can be placed over any liposuction area with minimal risk of scarring. Adits are especially helpful over areas such as the thighs and the abdomen, where postoperative edema and bruising can be more pronounced than in other areas.
A 16-gauge or 14-gauge microcannula can easily pass through a 1.5-mm adit. In the thin elastic skin of the female breast, a 1.0-mm adit will accommodate both 16-gauge and 14-gauge microcannulas. Almost no epidermal friction occurs as the microcannula is pushed and pulled through the skin. A 12-gauge microcannula often requires a 2-mm adit. With careful liposuction technique, especially in an area of thin skin such as the inner thigh, a 1.5-mm adit can accommodate a 12-gauge microcannula with minimal epidermal trauma (see Chapter 27).
For the outer thigh the best site for an adit is the most dependent margin of the targeted area. A 16-gauge or 14-gauge microcannula is inserted through the tiny hole to create multiple liposuction tunnels to funnel the postoperative drainage to the adit opening.
The most important advantage to using round adits is that round holes remain patent for a longer period than a slit incision. Round 1.5-mm and 2-mm adits allow better drainage than simple incisions. The edges of a microincision may close and heal before the blood-tinged anesthetic has been completely drained, thus entrapping blood-tinged anesthetic solution in the subcutaneous space.
Several 2-mm punch excisions placed along the lower margin of the abdomen, above the pubic area, allow more drainage than tiny slit incisions. These adits and firm, uniform compression eliminate postliposuction ecchymosis and seromas and dramatically reduce postoperative swelling and tenderness (Figures 30-6 and 30-7).
Even with a large cannula and closure of incisions with sutures, the judicious use of adits provides all the advantages of open drainage. Their strategic use (1) improves the rate of recovery by decreasing the duration of postoperative bruising, swelling, and tenderness and (2) reduces the incidence of seromas and hematomas.
Elimination of Sutures. The most significant advantage of placing adits or eliminating sutures is the dramatic acceleration of recovery and reduction of postliposuction edema. Closing incisions with sutures contrasts greatly with allowing adits or incisions to remain open (Figure 30-8).
Using sutures has few advantages. Closing a relatively long incision with sutures may reduce scar formation. Nevertheless, sutures do not benefit a 4-mm microincision. Some surgeons close incisions with sutures because of a concern that the profuse drainage will alarm the patient and necessitate increased nursing care.1 With superabsorptive compression pads, however, drainage is no longer a concern.
The advantages of not using sutures include the following:
- More complete drainage results in less edema, less tenderness, and less ecchymosis.
- Adits and microincisions (5 mm or less) heal better without sutures because no suture-induced inflammation, foreign body reactions, or cross-hatch scars develop.
- Patients do not need to return for suture removal.
Patients become less apprehensive about the disconcerting appearance of blood-tinged drainage once it has been explained that the greater the drainage, the less the postliposuction bruising, swelling, and soreness.
Compression Sponges. Compression sponges or pads have two distinct functions. First, they completely absorb the copious tumescent drainage and thus improve patient comfort and hygiene. Containing SAP and cellulose, a 25 × 50–cm (10 × 20–inch) compression sponge can absorb up to 1000 ml of watery fluid.
Second, as noted earlier, these compression sponges or pads distribute the compressive force of an elastic garment over the treated area in a smooth, uniform manner. By uniformly compressing the dermal interstitial collagen, the interstices between the dermal collagen bundles are narrowed, and red blood cells are prevented from moving toward the skin surface. Thus bruising is prevented (Figure 30-9).
Superabsorbent compression sponges eliminate postoperative bruising in a way similar to adhesive-backed, closed-cell foam (e.g, Reston) when applied postoperatively over an area treated by liposuction. Compression pads are superior to foam, however, since adhesive foam must remain on the skin for several days, which precludes showering daily. The compression sponges are replaced once or twice daily, allowing patients to shower. Foam only reduces bruising; compression pads reduce (1) bruising by compression and (2) osmotic edema by facilitating open drainage.
The tradition of long-term use of high-compression garments after liposuction is a vestige of the earliest days of liposuction during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Before the tumescent technique, liposuction created a proteinaceous mélange of clotted blood, inflammatory cytokines, prostaglandins, and fragmented adipose tissue. By closing incisions with sutures, this inflammatory detritus was trapped within the subcutaneous wound. Patients were required to endure weeks of being wrapped mummylike in special elastic adhesive “French” tape. Taking a normal shower or bath was not an option. Removing the tape could be so painful that some patients required systemic narcotic analgesia.
Eventually surgeons replaced the use of French tape with high-compression elastic garments. Either type of compression (graduated or uniform) resulted in a high rate of seroma formation, massive bruising, prolonged swelling, and tenderness. The patient’s return to normal activity was significantly delayed.
Tumescent liposuction, with its profound vasoconstriction, surgical hemostasis, and use of microcannulas, accelerated postoperative healing and virtually eliminated hematomas. Postoperative care, however, still needed improvement.
Misconception of High Compression
Chronic venous edema and acute postliposuction edema are different pathophysiologic processes. Leg edema due to venous disease is best treated and prevented by providing graduated leg compression beginning at 15 mm Hg, to more than 30 mm Hg distally, and decreasing proximally. In contrast, local edema due to tumescent liposuction can be largely prevented by open drainage and uniform (nongraduated) bimodal compression.
It is a misconception that the pathophysiology of acute postliposuction leg edema resembles chronic postphlebitic venous disease. Chronic venous insufficiency is caused by venous valvular incompetence, which leads to venous hypertension and a hydrostatic pressure gradient that favors chronic leakage of intravascular fluid into the interstitial tissues. Acute postliposuction edema is caused by posttraumatic hemorrhage, inflammation, and an osmotic pressure gradient.
This misconception has prompted many surgeons to assume, by analogy, that preventing edema after liposuction requires relatively prolonged, graduated high compression. In fact, high compression may exacerbate postliposuction edema by (1) compressing lymphatic vessels to the point of obstruction and (2) preventing the lymphatic clearance of large molecular and hyperosmolar exudates.
Effects of Excessive Compression. Prolonged high compression is only necessary when drainage is impeded by closing incisions with sutures. With traditional liposuction the subcutaneous voids and tunnels were filled with blood, clot, or hematoma. When traumatic exudate of liposuction is trapped within the subcutaneous space, high compression is unlikely to prevent development of a seroma, although it might impede enlargement of a seroma.
Constant external compression does not increase lymphatic pumping action or facilitate lymph flow. Constant compression applied externally to the skin tends to squeeze the delicate subcutaneous lymphatic capillary, causing the lumen to collapse on itself and preventing interstitial fluid from entering. Thus excessive, continuous external compression may impede lymphatic drainage and exacerbate postoperative edema. Without open drainage the compression delivered by traditional postliposuction garments could be detrimental.
When the interstitial pressure relative to atmospheric pressure is greater than 1 mm Hg, the rate of lymph fluid flow is maximal. Additional external pressure will not increase the rate of lymphatic fluid flow above the plateau value achieved at 1 mm Hg.2 An external compression garment producing 15 to 30 mm Hg, for example, will not increase the rate of lymph flow.
High compression without open drainage after liposuction may be harmful. In my experience, prolonged high compression that is continued after cessation of all drainage is unnecessary.
Graduated Versus Bimodal Compression
Therapeutic compression after liposuction differs from the type of compression used to treat leg vein disease. Varicose vein treatment requires compression to overcome venous hypertension. Prevention of perioperative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) requires compression to prevent the venostasis associated with the general anesthesia–induced loss of sympathetic vascular tone.
In contrast, compression after tumescent liposuction is used to expel the subcutaneous fluid containing the mixture of blood, fragmented adipocytes, and trauma-induced inflammatory exudate.
Lower extremity venous stasis is treated by a graduated compression garment. Graduated compression is necessary to counter the hydrostatic (gravitational) forces inside veins with incompetent valves.3 Because the hydrostatic force exerted by a vertical column of fluid increases as a function of the column’s length, venous pressure in leg veins with incompetent valves increases distally when the patient is upright. Graduated compression is necessary to counteract the progressive increase in physical forces exerted by fluid contained within the “closed” hydraulic system of the lower extremity.
After tumescent liposuction with open drainage, the goal is simply to maximize drainage. It is not necessary to combat intravascular hydrostatic pressure gradients. Graduated compression is not necessary after tumescent liposuction. For expelling blood-tinged anesthetic solution, open drainage and bimodal compression are more efficient and more comfortable. Bimodal compression garments are easier to apply and remove than graduated compression garments.
Bimodal Technique. Proper postoperative compression after tumescent liposuction requires two degrees of compression applied sequentially. That is, the compression after tumescent liposuction is bimodal. Bimodal compression involves two therapeutic phases: drainage and postdrainage.
Drainage Phase. During the drainage phase, high compression is applied immediately after liposuction to encourage drainage from adits and open microincisions. Uniform high compression maximizes drainage from the suctioned subcutaneous adipose tissue onto the absorptive dressings and minimizes postliposuction edema. With open drainage and high compression the tumescent drainage usually ceases in 24 to 72 hours. After liposuction of an unusually large abdomen or thigh, drainage may persist for several days.
Once all the drainage has ceased, external compression is no longer essential. The ultimate cosmetic result does not depend on continued compression after tumescent drainage has stopped.
Postdrainage Phase. During the postdrainage phase, after all the blood-tinged anesthetic solution has ceased draining, only a mild degree of compression is needed. After external drainage, lymphatic uptake is the only means of clearing the subcutaneous tissue of protein-laden edema fluid.
The function of mild compression is to augment interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure just enough to counterbalance the increased interstitial fluid osmotic pressure and thereby slow the transudation rate of intravascular water. Mild compression also provides a sense of security during physical activity. For many patients, mild compression offers analgesia and comfort.
Trimodal Breast Compression
Most areas of the body do not require an exceptionally high degree of compression after liposuction. The breasts are an exception and require extra compression for the first 12 to 18 hours after tumescent liposuction.
This extra compression is necessary for optimal hemostasis. Without adequate external compression immediately after breast liposuction, there is an increased risk of postoperative bleeding, excessive ecchymosis, or hematoma. If the compression is too tight, the patient may experience pain or difficulty breathing.
The solution is to use an adjustable compression garment and apply maximal compression as tolerated. An adjustable compression garment is essential so that the patient can vary the tightness at any time. Special postoperative breast garments are available that allow the patient to adjust the degree of high compression to tolerance (see following physics section).
Immediately after liposuction of the female breasts, the degree of compression should be as tight as the patient can tolerate; this will optimize postoperative hemostasis.
After 12 hours of this extrafirm compression the immediate risk of hematoma and severe bruising is significantly less. Thus the day after surgery, if drainage is still occurring, the compression may be adjusted to a more moderate level.
Ultimately, after all drainage has ceased, the compression is again adjusted to a minimal level that is still sufficient to provide comfort and support.
Need for Improvement
The history of liposuction is marked by a lack of objective research directed toward improving postliposuction care. The standard technique consists of first closing all liposuction incisions with suture and then instructing the patient to wear a high-compression garment for 2 weeks or more. I know of no objective clinical evidence to support or justify this form of postoperative treatment.
A strongly held belief in the benefits of closing incision sites with suture and prolonged use of a high-compression garment is not a substitute for objective documentation. Advocates of a specific wound treatment tend to confuse conjecture with fact and to equate strong conviction with certainty.
Surgeons have an obligation to question ingrained dogma. Every therapy is imperfect and can be improved incrementally. With standard or traditional methods for postliposuction care, “common-sense” beliefs must be validated by the scientific method and improved accordingly.
Physics of Compression Garments
Understanding the forces of compression can help surgeons (1) evaluate techniques for postliposuction care and (2) appreciate the benefits of open drainage and bimodal compression after liposuction.
The physical forces acting on a stretched rubber band are the same as those affecting a cross section of a cylindrical compression garment. The analysis of a postliposuction compression garment can be simplified by considering the two-dimensional forces acting on a stretched rubber band.
Stretch, or deformation, is the fractional or percentage change in the length of a specimen. In mathematic symbolism, stretch = ΔL/L, where L is a unit of length.
In a static system, the elastic force vector (F) produced by a stretched rubber band is exactly countered by the force vector necessary to maintain the degree of stretching. The elastic force of a rubber band is defined as a force that is equal but opposite to the external force causing a deformation.
Within the range of useful applications, elastic force and stretch are proportional to each other. The constant of proportionality is called a modulus of elasticity (E), resulting in the following equation:
Elastic force = Modulus × Stretch
F = E (ΔL/L)
where ΔL/L is a dimensionless quantity, and E has the same dimension as force. Within a certain range the elastic force is a linear function of stretch.
If the force or stretch is increased beyond a certain limit, the yield strength, a rubber band quickly loses its ability to stretch and becomes permanently deformed. With an additional increment of applied force, the rubber band exceeds its ultimate strength and snaps.
Elastic Compression and Applications
Now suppose a rubber band is stretched around a cylindrical body. The magnitude of the force vectors is a direct function of the length of stretch.
In this static equilibrium situation, we know that the vector sum of all the external forces acting on the cylinder must be zero. Also, the vector sum of all the external torques that act on the cylindrical body, as measured at any point, must be zero. An elastic force vector is the vector sum of a tangential force vector and the perpendicular compression vector. Because the tangential vectors are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, their vector sum must be zero, and the effect of the two opposed tangential vector forces can be ignored.
We only need to consider the net effect of the elastic compression vector, which is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the outward force exerted by the cylinder on the elastic garment. It is the compression vector that has true therapeutic significance when an elastic garment is applied to a cylindrical body.
Three interesting consequences of elastic compression have important applications to the use of compression garments.
1. Compression Sponges Increase Compression. When a circular elastic band is stretched around any circular cylinder without exceeding the range of elasticity, the greater the radius of the cylinder, the greater is the magnitude of radial (perpendicular) compression. In other words, the magnitude of radial compression at any point on the cylindrical circumference is directly proportional to the elastic force being applied by a stretched elastic garment (the tighter the garment is stretched in a tangential direction, the greater the degree of perpendicular compression).
Thus, for any given garment, the greater the circumference of the cylinder over which it is stretched, the greater is the degree of stretching, and thus the higher the degree of therapeutic compression. The effect of placing bulky compression sponges beneath a garment is to increase the stretch of the garment and increase the effective compression delivered to the patient’s body.
2. Two Garments Are Better Than One. The effect of two compression garments is additive. Consider two ribbons of elastic fabric A and B having identical length (L) and width. If the force required to stretch fabric A over a distance ΔL is half the force required to stretch fabric B over the same distance, A has an elastic modulus with a magnitude half that of B. If two well-fitting compression garments, each having an elastic modulus of 1, are worn simultaneously, their combined compression will be equivalent to a single garment with an elastic modulus of 2.
It is often easier for a patient to don or doff two garments with a low elastic modulus than one garment with a high modulus. Furthermore, when these two garments have a combined modulus that is greater than the single garment, their combined compression is better than the single high-compression garment. Using two garments, each with a modulus of 1.25, is therefore easier and provides more compression than a single compression garment with an elastic modulus of 2.
An elastic fabric with a high degree of resistance to stretching does not necessarily deliver the most effective therapeutic compression.
3. Degree of Curvature Affects Compression. The greater the degree (radius) of curvature at a point on a noncircular cylindrical body, the smaller is the compression vector (at that point) delivered by an elastic band under constant stretch. In other words, the compression vector is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature at any point on a noncircular cylindrical surface. Therefore, for any given cylindrical body at an area of abrupt surface curvature, a small radius of curvature exists, and the garment will produce a relatively high degree of compression. On another area of the same cylindrical body where the surface is flat, the radius of curvature is essentially infinite, and the degree of compression is negligible.
This observation has some useful clinical applications. By effectively decreasing the local radius of curvature, a bulky pad placed over a wound will accentuate the relative degree of compression beneath the pad.

Figure 30-9 Uniform compression prevents bruising. Wherever compression is insufficient, accentuated ecchymosis is more likely. This photograph demonstrates effects from embossed pattern on absorptive surface of old-style absorbent pad. Wherever embossed pattern on sponge’s absorptive surface impairs direct contact between sponge and skin, a corresponding pattern of bruising is seen. Ideally, compression sponge provides a uniformly smooth contact surface with skin and resists wrinkling.
|BOX 30-1 Clinical Experiment: Open Drainage Versus Sutures|
|Every liposuction surgeon must test the assertion that maximizing postoperative external drainage of blood-tinged anesthetic solution will minimize postliposuction edema, pain, and disability. Bilateral liposuction of the outer thighs provides an excellent opportunity for a simple and objective comparison of techniques for postliposuction care.|
|1. On the left outer thigh, after doing routine liposuction, place sutures in all incisions. This will minimize postoperative drainage.|
|2. On the right outer thigh, place one or more 1.5-mm punch excisions (adits) or routine slit incisions for cannula access. At least one adit should be located distally at the most dependent part of the treated area. To facilitate drainage, liposuction should be done through each adit. For maximal drainage, these adits should remain open without sutures. If such large cannulas are used that all incisions require sutures for proper healing, a few more adits should be placed specifically to facilitate drainage and strategically to maximize drainage.|
|3. Place superabsorbent pads over the treated area to manage the drainage and prevent leakage onto clothing and furniture.|
|4. Use an elastic garment to maintain a comfortably high degree of compression until all drainage has ceased (approximately 24 to 48 hours).|
|5. For the purposes of this clinical comparison, maintain external compression bilaterally for as long as you believe it is necessary.|
|a. Optimal prevention of edema on the thigh with the adits appears to require bimodal compression: high compression until all drainage has ceased, then mild compression. This mild compression comforts the patient and reduces the prolonged edema.|
|b. The ultimate cosmetic results are not affected by whether or not compression is maintained after all drainage has ceased.|
|6. Note that an excessively high degree of compression that is continued even after all drainage has ceased may be counterproductive. Prolonged high compression can impair the lymphatic uptake of edema fluid by compressing the lymphatic capillaries. Excessive postoperative edema of the lower extremities may predispose to deep venous thrombosis.|
|7. When using open drainage and bimodal compression, continued use of compression garments after drainage is recommended for comfort but is not required.|
|To evaluate the two methods of postoperative care (open drainage and closure with sutures), examine the patient twice during the week immediately after liposuction. You can expect to see an obvious difference in edema, ecchymosis, and tenderness. Analogous to the tumescent technique’s dramatic reduction of surgical bleeding, open drainage dramatically reduces postoperative edema, bruising, and tenderness. The clinical difference is apparent, and statistical analysis is unnecessary to decide which is the superior technique.| | <urn:uuid:4ba93f62-12f9-44b6-b992-698a38f9f511> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://liposuction101.com/liposuction-textbook/chapter-30-postliposuction-care-open-drainage-and-bimodal-compression/ | 2020-07-06T12:04:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655880616.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20200706104839-20200706134839-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.88953 | 8,056 | [

I cry, I weep, I gnash my teeth. Some flame-headed goat poop sniffing slime licker (or maybe lickers) stole from me.
There I was, minding my own business, going to Walmart because the local Meijer removed 8 O’Clock coffee (in the big bags) from their shelves. I really don’t like to go to Walmart, because they have a history of treating their employees rather badly. Not sure if that has changed over the years but the whole premise is indelibly burned into my brain cells and so I would rather not support them, thank you very much.
So… as I was saying … there I was minding my own business, with my Beautiful Girlfriend, buying my coffee at Walmart, and thinking, “yay!! We scored 4 big bags of 8 O’Clock coffee!! Enough for several weeks!! This is most marvelous indeed!” We happily put the bags of coffee in the pantry and sang songs of caffeinated joy. Well OK maybe not. But we were glad to get our stash.
I used a debit card for the purchase, which I do quite often. I rarely carry cash, you see. This is due to a strange phenomenon called spontaneous wallet depletion. In other words, in the “good old days” before debit cards, my cash seemed to disappear pretty quickly. Not sure if using the debit card changed that, but at least now I’m able to keep track of where the money goes a bit more easily. I get online regularly and check to make sure all is well.
However, this time I didn’t check for several days; and my checking account shrank by an extra $317 over the course of about a week. Very shortly after I used my debit card at Walmart; someone somewhere somehow hacked something and started using my debit card info at a Walmart in Elk Grove, Illinois; which is a bit over 200 miles from here. Little nibbles… $35 here, $35.36 there… carefully staying under $50 which I guess is a threshold that starts to raise flags.
I was not very happy.
Dunno what it is about Walmart, but a similar fraud thing happened to me with my credit card after making a purchase at Walmart.com ! Very cool indeed, right?? I lost the use of my card for a little over a week after reporting it stolen. At least I had the debit card. Now I’ve lost the use of a debit card for 7 to 10 days, but at least I have a credit card. Fortunately, our credit union took care of all the fraud and even refilled my checking account with the amount that was stolen. I’ve since learned of an app called CardValet; which apparently can stop this. Once the new debit card arrives, I’ll enter it into the app, and when I’m not using it, I can use CardValet to turn the card off. I guess it works with credit cards too.
Guess what? For the time being, I’m carrying cash again. And no, I’m not paranoid about using electronic payments; but you can bet I’ll be using the CardValet app regularly.
Oh and by the way, regarding the cyberthieves: not only are they flame-headed goat poop sniffing slime lickers, but they also pee themselves in public places but just sit there with a silly grin. I’m sure they also enjoy eating other people’s boogers; and I would also not be surprised if they smear dog snot on their eyebrows.
They are not my friends. Time to call Superman. | <urn:uuid:f3558c37-2c4c-442f-8672-bbb8d39c1369> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://kakahead.com/?p=1241 | 2020-07-04T18:34:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886516.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704170556-20200704200556-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.972065 | 769 | [

Before you take a step out into the streets of bustling Bangkok, take a deep breath. You may need your wits about you navigating this endless metropolis, where road rules are guidelines at best and even the "mild" of curries may have you seeing stars.
Within hours, however, you're bound to have fallen for this incredible capital, which truly never sleeps. Here are our top 5 unmissable sights to fill your days (and nights) with:
1. Shop at Chatuchak Market
"The weekend market", "JJ’s Market" or Chatuchak – whatever you call it, this expansive market is everything you could want in an Asian market (and more). Set over 27 acres with more than 8000 stalls, the variety is mesmerizing. Here, you can find everything from pet frogs to used car parts to impossibly cool clothes, handmade by stylish young Thai designers. 400,000 people visit on the weekend (it is not open through the week), but it is so worth braving the crowds, especially if you love fashion.
2. Eat Street Food
Frankly, if there's one thing you do in Bangkok, make it eating the street food. You could fly to Bangkok for this alone. It's mouth-wateringly delicious, it's affordable, and it's available literally anywhere, any time. The classic here is Pad Thai Kung (fried noodles with shrimp), but the possibilities are endless. Pad Krapao Moo (stir fried pork with Basil) is a favorite, or Mango Sticky Rice if you want something sweeter. It's literally everywhere, but Bangkok's Chinatown is a street food paradise!
3. Visit the Grand Palace
This alluring building is so recognizably Bangkok – a photo in front of it makes for a perfect reminder of your trip to this brilliant capital. The Royal Family is absolutely revered in Thailand, and the Grand Palace is an important part of the country's national identity. It spans over 200,000 square meters and is made up of a huge number of beautiful buildings. Be sure to dress respectfully, and don't fall to the scam of "buying a cheap ticket" from outside the real entrance!
4. Have a Thai Massage
Let's save you from a nasty surprise – Thai massages may not be the relaxing affair you're used to. Forget soothing music and essential oils, Thai massage is more about yanking, pulling and twisting. Not sounding very appealing? Miraculously, you really do leave feeling much more supple, limber and rejuvenated. Of course, if you're not game, you can always go for a traditional massage instead. Perception Blind Massage is a social enterprise that offers massages of all kinds.
5. Explore the Bangkok Nightlife
Bangkok is an extraordinary city – so modern and dynamic, yet still retaining that "life of the edge" feeling. To truly appreciate all that Bangkok has to offer, stay out until the early hours of the morning – this city knows how to party. If it's all night dance clubs you're after, hit backpacker strip Khao San Road, or for something more upmarket, try Beam, popular with ultra-hip young Thais. | <urn:uuid:b464d085-0579-49ec-ab8d-4f7a70ad26fc> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://dollarflightclub.com/bangkok-thailand-top-5-to-dos/ | 2020-07-04T18:50:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655886516.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20200704170556-20200704200556-00355.warc.gz | en | 0.935387 | 661 | [

Infertility and Pregnancy Loss
“It’s been three years, so when are you guys going to have kids? What are you waiting for?”
“Don’t worry, you just have to relax and stop thinking about it, you’ll get pregnant in no time.”
“Consider yourself lucky that you have no crying baby to keep you up at night!”
“We didn’t invite you to the brunch because we were all bringing our babies and we didn’t want you to feel sad, we were just thinking of you.”
“”Hey, look on the bright side, it’s not cancer.”
When it comes to infertility and pregnancy loss, it’s amazing how our loved ones, friends, and even well-meaning strangers, get it exactly wrong. While there may be those in our lives who comfort and empathize, others’ efforts often show up as disconnecting and wounding, causing more suffering in an already insufferable situation.
What is often assumed a natural step in the progression of life, can instead feel jarring, punitive, unbelievable, and unbearable. While medical technology has made enormous strides, growing exponentially since more than forty years ago when the first baby was born through in vitro fertilization, understanding of the psychological toll has lagged far behind. We want to change that.
Trained in matters of fertility and grief, we will listen to your reproductive story and bear witness to your struggle. We can help address the emotional, relational, ethical, and moral dilemmas surrounding decisions about building your family. Some of us have been there as well, and are all too familiar with the intricacies and complexities making every person’s situation unique.
As a couple, or an individual, If you are suffering and feel confused, overwhelmed, alone or misunderstood, please reach out to us. We are here with support, and we want to help. | <urn:uuid:634cc9c1-9729-4cc0-a173-9767195dc70c> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | https://cfcenj.com/services/adult-counseling/infertility/ | 2020-07-14T16:33:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593655897168.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20200714145953-20200714175953-00155.warc.gz | en | 0.962132 | 411 | [

How can I be an encouragement to a fellow believer, today?
Hebrews 10:24-25 reads, And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
People and relationships are vitally important in the life of the believer while we serve the Lord here on earth. Our relationships can make the journey a lot less lonely and bring us much encouragement as we walk our Christian life in faith, together.
Try out these ideas as you encourage other believers this week:
- send them a text message.
- take them out to lunch and pay for it!
- call them on the phone.
- send them a tweet or Facebook message.
- be "old-fashioned" and write them an encouraging note and dropping it in the mail.
- pray for them and let them know that you have done so.
- give them some Biblical, Godly wisdom.
- sit next to them in church, Bible Study, or small group.
- give them a meaningful, inexpensive gift.
Hey, just get creative and encourage your network of close, Christian friends. Stimulate and drive your Christian "Who" to greater heights in this new year!
Who in your life needs an encouraging touch from you, today? | <urn:uuid:c435f620-df00-4394-997c-22028d9847a4> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.richchristianpoorchristian.com/2010/01/encourage-one-another.html | 2020-07-12T05:57:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657131734.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712051058-20200712081058-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.93908 | 296 | [

Airbus fired the first shots at the Paris Air Show yesterday, a vital battleground for the European plane maker and its US rival Boeing, with news of big orders from Middle Eastern clients.
Qatar Airways, Kuwait's Jazeera Airways and Dubai-based Emirates, as well as the Russian airline S7 announced new business for the European manufacturer, which is looking to shore up confidence in its aircraft following production and design problems.
By lunchtime at the Paris event, Airbus had announced orders and agreements worth more than US$30 billion amid a public relations blitz that included another giant deal with US Airways.
The week-long Paris Air Show sees Airbus and Boeing, the world's biggest manufacturers of civilian aircraft, go head-to-head in a commercial and marketing contest.
The companies use the event, which features deafening air displays as well as deal-making, to clinch new business and announce orders for their latest aircraft.
Despite appearances, the European group lags far behind its US rival Boeing for new orders this year and recently launched a radical restructuring plan after making a loss for the first time in its history last year.
At the end of last month, Airbus had reported 201 new orders for planes this year, while Boeing had 429 at the beginning of this month.
Among the Airbus deals that were announced yesterday, Qatar Airways said it would buy three A380 superjumbos and confirmed a previously announced order for 80 mid-sized A350s.
Emirates is to buy eight more A380s, and Jazeera Airways placed a firm order for 30 single-aisled A320 planes.
S7, the second biggest Russian airline after Aeroflot, also signed a firm order for 25 Airbus A320 single-aisle planes. The order is worth US$1.8 billion, and the short-haul jets are to be delivered starting in 2009, Airbus said.
Separately, US Airways announced it had signed a letter of intent to buy 92 Airbus aircraft, including 22 mid-sized A350 planes.
Boeing, whose 787 mid-sized plane has so far eclipsed the A350, was expected to hit back at Airbus with news of jumbo orders later yesterday or during the week.
The US firm announced yesterday that Indonesian airline Lion Air had placed a firm order for 40 additional single-aisled Boeing 737-900 ER planes worth more than US$3 billion at catalogue prices.
Aircraft leasing group GECAS also said yesterday that it had placed a firm order for six Boeing 777 cargo aircraft.
The Paris Air Show began yesterday for industry professionals, but opens its doors to the public for three days from Thursday.
About 400,000 people are expected to visit the event at the Le Bourget airfield on the outskirts of Paris.
HONG KONG SECURITY: The president blasted regulations requiring Taiwanese agents or political organizations to provide information on their Hong Kong-related activities President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) yesterday warned of countermeasures should controversial Chinese national security legislation imposed on Hong Kong undermine or harm Taiwanese interests. Article 43 of the legislation empowers the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to serve written notices to Taiwanese political organizations or individual agents to furnish information on their Hong Kong-related activities, including their personal particulars, finances, assets, expenditure and capital in the territory. Failure to comply or providing false or incomplete information can result in a fine of HK$100,000 (US$12,903) or imprisonment of six months or two years respectively. Tsai said that Taiwan would keep a close watch on how
PROBE LAUNCHED: An officer who served as a supervisor in the drill died in an apparent suicide after the accident, which was caused by unexpected waves Two marines who were on Friday injured in a military exercise in the waters off Kaohsiung passed away yesterday, Navy Command said. The marines — surnamed Tsai (蔡), 26, and a sergeant surnamed Chen (陳), 36 — were in a seven-member Marine Corps team that encountered rough seas during a simulated response to enemy forces landing on Taiwan. Their rubber craft overturned in waters off Taoziyuan (桃子園) beach in Zuoying District (左營), injuring four of the marines. They were rushed to hospital, where three of them — Tsai, Chen and a 34-year-old sergeant — were taken to an intensive care unit
MORAL COURAGE: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs urged the global community to face China’s intention to subdue Taiwan and reject such irrational requests The Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday strongly condemned the Chinese government for meddling with US officials’ interactions with Taiwan after FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed China’s efforts to discourage US officials from visiting Taiwan. The greatest long-term threat to the US’ information security and intellectual property, as well as its economic vitality, is China’s counterintelligence and economic espionage operations, Wray told a video event at the Hudson Institute in Washington. Beijing is engaged in a highly sophisticated and maligning foreign influence campaign, with methods that include bribery, blackmail and covert deals, he said. Giving an example, Wray said that when a US official
CAUTION: Taiwan had zero cases of death from food poisoning for six years until last year, when two people died after eating wildlife, an FDA official said The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) yesterday urged the public not to eat wildlife or unidentified wild plants, as they could be fatal, with nearly 7,000 people affected by food poisoning last year, including two deaths due to wildlife consumption. The number of food poisoning incidents increased by nearly 50 percent last year, from 398 cases involving 4,616 people in the previous year to 503 cases involving 6,944 people, FDA data showed. That figure was the second-highest in history, the FDA said, adding that the highest number was recorded in 1997, with 7,235 people. Among the 503 cases, 87 were food poisoning clusters | <urn:uuid:bac91b22-42e7-4b73-8925-82eb3f4f4ac7> | CC-MAIN-2020-29 | http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/worldbiz/archives/2007/06/19/2003365970 | 2020-07-12T05:59:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-29/segments/1593657131734.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20200712051058-20200712081058-00555.warc.gz | en | 0.960709 | 1,242 | [
