Associated Problems with birds:
Pest Birds and their associated debris are known to be a source of bacteria and insects, which are harmful to humans.
Some examples are:
- Salmonella – typhoid like intestinal infection.
- Ornithosis – symptoms range from flu like illness to pneumonia.
- Bird fanciers lung – an allergic condition caused by exposure to dust inhaled from bird debris.
- Cryptococosis – This is a very serious illness. It begins as a lung infection but can progress to the meninges of the brain causing Meningitis
- Escherichia Coli (E-Coli) -This is contracted orally by ingesting food or water contaminated with a pathogenic strain shed by an infected person or animal. Recent research at Lancaster University UK has linked its spread to gulls.
- Bird Nests – can be the source of many unpleasant insects including fleas, mites, lice, some beetle and flies. It is not uncommon that secondary insect infestations result in bites to people using the areas which are located close to nesting or roosting sites.
At Allstate, we use a range of solutions for each individual case.
Some examples are:
Bird Netting is one of the most effective ways to completely restrict pest birds in a humane fashion. Netting is versatile as it can be used vertically, horizontally or diagonally and is often used in high level infestations to completely displace pest birds from certain areas.
When installing netting we have three different sizes to choose from 19mm, 50mm and 75mm and different colours to match building facades. Frames can also be made to install netting to difficult areas. Correctly installed netting systems do not physically harm the birds, they just frustrate and encourage them to move on.
Pest birds usually land and spend most of their time on the leading edges of a building. Hanging over a leading edge ensures pest birds are protected from predators and they can over look their territory and scavenge for food. Bird Spikes prevent birds from settling by creating an insecure area for landing. Bird Spikes can be installed to prevent birds from roosting on exposed ledges, sills, steel beams, girders and other leading edges.
There are several types of bird spikes, (translucent, polycarbonate, steel, girder and gutter). All spikes are UV protected and come in different sizes and shapes for each individual application.
Bird Jolt Flat Track is a low profile, electrical track system that produces a mild electrical shock when birds land on its surface. Bird Jolt Flat Track’s discreet design is ideal for use in areas where aesthetics are a concern; it measures ¼” at its highest point. The electric track can be installed to virtually any surface. The track is made from a flexible UV protected PVC base that can easily conform to curved or straight surfaces. The system is powered by an A.C. charger or solar charger.
When birds land on the Bird Jolt Flat Track, they receive a mild shock that will not harm them, but will condition them to stay away from the area.
This system consists of tensioned Stainless Steel wires that are secured between posts. As the pest birds try to land feet first they encounter the unstable wire and are deterred from trying to land on exposed ledges, sills, steel beams, girders and other leading edges of a building.
Ideal for new buildings as it is a discreet and effective system to bird-proof properties. The components of this system are UV protected stainless steel and plastic.
Physical removal of nesting materials and fouling, we also perform a treatment using Bio-degradeable formulation to remove disease organisms associated with pest birds and staining.
There are many other options for bird pest control and Allstate can help, please contact one of our friendly staff for a free no obligation consultation. | <urn:uuid:85f76f05-1069-4564-9c4d-2ea264f80928> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.allstatepest.com.au/commercial/commercial-bird-control | 2018-05-22T11:44:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864725.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522112148-20180522132148-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.939289 | 924 | [

My sis-in-law took us to breakfast at Cafe 1771 in Ortigas. I love the blue entrance doors of the cafe and the interior is very cozy and inviting. The dishes we ordered were: omelette, a Filipino set of longganisa na sabog and pan de sal with kesong puti. Yummy dishes. They have Filipino and American breakfasts.

Presonus 16.4.2 StudioLive Case w/Tilt N’ Travel Option
This design is based off our standard ATA case for the Presonus StudioLive, and adds our Tilt N' Travel option. The Tilt N' Travel option is comprised of a multi stage telescoping aluminum handle and inboard dolly casters allowing the case to be rolled like a piece of luggage. Our Tilt N' Travel design is very durable and designed to be on the road. All wearable parts such as the handle and wheels are designed to be replaced in the field. We custom fabricated mounting plates to use behind the wheels allowing the wheels to be attached via a common 10/32" rack screw. The telescoping handle also follows this protocol, both parts are replaceable in the field using common items unlike many other designs that feature riveted parts that can only be replaced by the manufacturer if the end user does not have access to a riveter.
To cut down on the wear and tear of the wheels, we mounted them between the corners. This allows the corner to take the abuse and not the wheel, which makes the wheels last much longer. The case features a 1" foam lined interior and three recessed handles. There is also a storage space behind the console for accessories. | <urn:uuid:78c19251-3f1a-46e0-8b44-70d607f197de> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.lmcases.com/products/presonus-1642-studiolive-case-w-tilt-n-travel-option | 2018-05-23T11:15:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865595.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523102355-20180523122355-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.940145 | 265 | [

Acer started the 2014 by announcing 2 new Android all-in-one devices as well as upgrading 2 Iconia tablets which is considered as mid-range tablets with affordable prices.
So, let’s see what’s new and what’s improved:
This year, the refreshed Iconia line-up includes the 7.9-inch A1-830 and 7-inch B1-720.
A1-830 General Specifications:
- 7.9-inch LED-backlit display with IPS technology
- 1,024 x 768 resolution
- 1.6GHz Intel Atom processor
- 1GB of RAM, 16GB of Internal Storage, microSD card support
- 2560 x 1920 and 1600 x 1200 resolutions, for the Rear and Front camera
- Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1
- 7.5 hours of battery life
- Aluminum body
B1-720 is more budget friendly than A1 and Acer had to sacrifice some features to maintain the price at lower range. Some of the mina features of B1-730 are: 7-inch screen, 1.3GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, and 5 hours of battery life.
Both devices will be available in North America this quarter (However B1 might be released by the end of the month) and you need to $149 and $130 for the A1 and B1, respectively.
Android All-in-One (AIO) desktops with bigger screens as much as 21.5inches or 27inches might not be as useful, but the new Acer potable AIO devices seem kind of tempting. You can either enjoy playing Android games or run application on these big monitors, or use it to project devices with Windows OS.
The Acer TA272 HUL features a 27-inch display with 2,560 x 1,440 resolutions, NVIDIA Tegra quad-core processor, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, 16GB of internal storage, USB 3.0 and HDMI port, and the touch screen identifies up to 10 points.
Both TA272 and DA223 are available worldwide and the retail prices for these AIOs are $1099 and $699. | <urn:uuid:1cd78f18-d930-4e2f-88dc-e7d733ac99ab> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://androidwidgetcenter.com/articles/acer-announces-set-android-tablets-one-desktops/ | 2018-05-24T11:35:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866276.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524112244-20180524132244-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.913216 | 455 | [

The number of use cases for blockchain technology is a lot greater than most people imagine. Outside of the financial sector, there are dozens of opportunities waiting to be explored. OriginTrail, for example, is currently working on integrating data from forensic laboratories on the blockchain. It’s an interesting venture, although it remains to be seen how successful this project can be.
Another use Case for Blockchain Technology
On paper, blockchain technology can facilitate many different business models. Although most of the current focus lies on improving the financial industry as a whole, some companies are exploring other opportunities as well. Recording data in a safe and immutable manner, for example, is something a lot of companies would love to do. It may even have major repercussions for the rest of the world in the long run.
The work being done by OriginTrail should not be overlooked in this regard. Although few people know this company even exists, the team took a rather impressive step forward not long ago. They inked a deal with two scientific laboratories from Australia and Vietnam to record data on the blockchain. Efforts like these are direly needed for companies which focus on data integrity and addressing issues with the food supply chain.
More specifically, the OriginTrail blockchain solution is an infrastructure meant to integrate and distribute data. It will also create reports for clients of any company or project making use of this blockchain. As such, a whole new layer of transparency and trust can be created in a frictionless manner. It opens the door for a lot of different use cases, although it remains to be seen how successful this venture can be in the long run.
When it comes to ensuring the integrity of food and non-food products, there is still a lot of room for improvement. As of right now, all tests conducted on food must be recorded in a public and transparent manner. Doing so with existing technologies has proven to be quite a hassle, especially because most of the data is not immutable in the slightest. This is where blockchain comes into the picture, as it provides a completely different medium to store and record data of any kind.
For OriginTrail, this new pilot program is a major milestone. The company has worked with other food supply chain entities in the past, and they will continue to bring their blockchain technology to more companies in the future. As of right now, the possibilities are virtually limitless, but the real use cases for this blockchain technology have yet to be fully unlocked.
It will be interesting to see how the food supply chain gets disrupted by blockchain technology in the long run. Bringing more transparency to the table can only be considered a good thing for most people. Consumers have demonstrated an increasing demand for safe, healthy, and nutritious foods. Without proper solutions to track the origin and supply chain of the food sold in stores, an issue is created. As such, companies will need to look for innovative ways to regain consumer trust, which is a lot more difficult than one might think. | <urn:uuid:54e0ee19-e136-4f1b-a4af-b3b80a159709> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://themerkle.com/the-role-of-blockchain-in-the-food-supply-chain/ | 2018-05-24T12:00:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866276.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524112244-20180524132244-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.954211 | 600 | [

Comic-Con 2012: Lego’s ‘Hobbit’ Mini-Figures Make the Unexpected Journey
Peter Jackson returns to Comic-Con's Hall H this year with 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' part one of two films based on the J.R.R. Tolkien book of the same name, and prequel to Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy.
Also making an appearance? These awesome new Lego mini-figures based on Jackson's films. Warning: Cuteness ahead might make you geek out.
THR has an exclusive first look at the mini-figures from Lego's new 'Hobbit' set, which will release December 1, just in time for the film's December 14 premiere. Lego has the rights to both 'The Hobbit' and 'Lord of the Rings,' and will be unveiling these figures and their upcoming sets (as well as some fun secret stuff) at San Diego Comic-Con later this week.
The 'Hobbit' set below features the magnificent and wise Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins (the titular hobbit), and dwarves Dwalin, Bombur, Bofur and Balin.
These figures are too adorable, and if you're anything like us, you can't wait to get your hands on one of the new sets. While we haven't seen those yet, we feel confident in saying they'll look fantastic. And with the release of these latest Lego products, we're getting even more excited about their upcoming 'Lord of the Rings' video games. | <urn:uuid:ae1e253f-881f-46d6-adb8-ce7b1558d4ed> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://screencrush.com/comic-con-2012-lego-hobbit-mini-figures/ | 2018-05-25T11:04:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867085.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525102302-20180525122302-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.938101 | 323 | [

Earlier Friday, we wrote about the Detroit Lions changing flagship radio stations after 12 years, going from WXYT-FM to WJR-AM. That in itself probably wasn’t worth much attention, except perhaps on a local basis. What made this notable, however, was the agent of a Detroit sports talk radio host saying that the Lions demanded his client be fired as a condition of renewing broadcast rights with the station.
Mike Valenti co-hosts the afternoon drive-time show on 97.1 The Ticket and has been a vocal critic of the Lions throughout his tenure. It’s a big reason why that program is the top-rated sports talk radio show in Detroit, and one of the highest-rated shows in the market overall. But the Lions apparently didn’t like that frequent criticism and have tried for years to get Valenti taken off the air.
(Some of you may remember Valenti from his 2006 on-air rant after Michigan State, his alma mater, blew a 17-point lead at home and lost to Notre Dame. The nearly 20-minute monologue, which becomes explosive about five minutes in, got national attention.)
Valenti began his show on Friday by addressing the allegations and saying everything that’s been reported is true, “100 percent true.” He added that it’s become “very personal” between him and the Lions. During the past 11 years, the team’s head of public relations, Bill Keenist, has regularly called the station during the show between segments to take issue with what Valenti has said. The host also accused the Lions of preventing him from appearing on local television and doing a Sunday morning NFL show.
You can listen to the entire opening to Friday’s show here:
During the segment, Valenti’s producer pointed out that the Lions have compiled a record of 63-124 while on 97.1 FM, so it’s not like the team hasn’t provided plenty of material for criticism and ridicule over the past 12 years. As if it needs to be mentioned, that span includes the Matt Millen regime as team president.
Valenti: Play games, win games, I say nice things. Play games, lose games, I say mean things. It’s that simple
— Kyle Meinke (@kmeinke) November 20, 2015
Longtime Detroit sports talk radio host and producer Gregg Henson, now working in Pittsburgh, chimed in with his own confirmation of how difficult the Lions have been over the years with local media and the pressure Keenist has tried to exert.
Lions have been trying to get people fired for years, it was mostly Bill Keenist. — Gregg Henson (@GreggHenson) November 20, 2015
It’s worth mentioning that Valenti’s contract is up in March, so this certainly does nothing to hurt his bargaining power. His agent obviously knew that when contacting various Detroit media outlets. But as Valenti said himself on the air, 97.1 FM clearly made a choice, siding with their top-rated show over having Lions broadcasts. So his position would seem to be pretty secure. And if not, other stations in the market would surely pursue him.
Going over to WJR probably isn’t going to happen, though. | <urn:uuid:eae714ae-3d50-40ab-8511-a4e2b5bd9ed5> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://awfulannouncing.com/2015/detroit-sports-talk-radio-host-mike-valenti-lions-tried-to-get-me-fired.html | 2018-05-26T12:00:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526112331-20180526132331-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.981309 | 696 | [

Launching and maintaining a live streaming service to demanding sports fanatics is no small undertaking. Incorporating advertising from local affiliates into the Fox Sports Go live platform was smart, innovative and unprecedented. From securing content rights and acquiring hundreds of linear signals, to live encoding with national and local ad stitching, to content delivery, geo-fencing and cross-platform authentication and device playback, the potential points of failure are too numerous to count – but have been hedged by the right technology partners.
By partnering with Anvato and Akamai, Fox Sports has a scalable and dependable infrastructure for years to come. As viewers demand a more sophisticated live sports experience on new devices, and online viewership numbers steadily increase, Fox Sports is confident that its live encoding and delivery infrastructure is adaptable to whatever tomorrow may bring. | <urn:uuid:1aa56ad0-8270-48da-976f-683c45e27eec> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.anvato.com/about/case-studies/fox-sports-case-study/ | 2018-05-26T12:04:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526112331-20180526132331-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.919523 | 165 | [

You can think of it as the love child of a fruit cake and a loaf of bread: it’s typically made from a yeasty dough, covered in icing sugar and replete with dried fruit soaked in rum.
Stollen is now quite popular in the UK and USA, too, largely because it’s not too difficult to bake at home (we bake our own and bring them to friends as gifts).
As with just about every baked product in central Europe, there are different varieties. At Christmas you often see stollen with, for example, marzipan, poppy seeds or nuts, though it’s the dried fruit variety that is the classic version.
How do you say stollen?
At first glance, it seems an easy word to say in Austrian-flavoured German – “stoll” to rhyme with “doll” (British English) and an “en” like in “burden” (ditto).
The “st” has a “sh” at the start though – “shtollen”: | <urn:uuid:e61ba669-8f67-42a7-878b-2ee3354d4b55> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.visitingvienna.com/eatingdrinking/food/stollen/ | 2018-05-20T13:49:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863570.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180520131723-20180520151723-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.959595 | 233 | [

"jamie...there's a twist to this show...we really weren't looking for america's best singer...we were looking for someone who- who THOUGHT they were america's best singer"
wb superstar was a real singing competition show in 2004 - it's premise was like american idol, except it cut the good singers early on and moved the worst singers forward into the game. it's so evil and cruel and twisted but that's what i love about it. why has reality tv gotten so pasty and inoffensive? where's the sleaziness and unrelenting brutality of it? maybe i'm just a terrible person

Then Tommy saw some leaves flying around the garden round and round they went by the back fence, they did not look dirty and scruffy, they looked light and sharp, cutting through the air with ease. When Tommy saw the speed with which the wind caught the leaves he was amazed. But the leaves just did not know where they wanted to go next they would run this way turn around and run back again, they seemed to be having fun. The leaves were tossed to and fro, one time they were blown so high that Tommy lost sight of them up in the sky above the trees and houses.

Why should everyone in Southwark try a meat free day?Better for the Environment: Meat is a high-energy product using large amounts of oil, land, fresh water and 90% of the crops grown to create meat are wasted in the process. The livestock sector is currently “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global” Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
Better for your Health: Many of the world’s leading health organisations now encourage a reduction in the amount of meat people consume. Oxford University’s department of public health found that eating meat no more than three times a week could prevent 31,000 deaths from heart disease, 9,000 deaths from cancer and 5,000 deaths from stroke, as well as save the NHS £1.2 billion in costs each year.
Better for the Animals: Lets face it, killing is never pretty or humane. If you are able to live on healthy food that doesn’t destroy other creatures lives, why wouldn’t you? | <urn:uuid:c1bc0b79-439c-4556-b2d5-6ed148ad42bd> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://2eden.blogspot.com/2013/ | 2018-05-21T14:26:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864405.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521142238-20180521162238-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.940458 | 686 | [

This week Matt & I made a trip down to Montgomery to work on our rent house and see our wonderful friends. The nice thing about the rent house is that some of our good friends live in it, so we can stay with them, which is cheap & makes it easy to work on the house. The not-so-nice thing is it's the house that we used to live in, which I love. And it reminds me that I currently own a house that I don't live in, while paying rent to live in an apartment, but I digress.
Back to the point. Our original plan was to spend a lot of the time working on the house, although Matt was still going to have to do real work (for the job that actually pays his salary). Well, he ended up with a short business trip to El Paso in the middle of the week, so I have been doing most of the work myself. I'm not complaining, because I love doing house projects! It's so much fun. Plus, I feel really accomplished & tough when I know how to do things that most girls don't know how to do. And I like going to Lowe's. So this week I have taken off the front door, sanded it, painted it, and put it back up, changed an electrical outlet, and painted the guest bath, which also involved taking down light fixtures, towel racks, etc., and sanding the walls. I'm about to head back to Lowe's to buy a new light fixture for the kitchen, since the old one is currently on the blink (quite literally, it flickers on and off when it's on.) The only thing I've had to have Matty do is remove the toilet tank & mirror (which were too heavy because I'm not very strong) and paint around the ceiling (because I'm not very tall & didn't have a ladder that would fit in the bathroom). Overall, I'm quite proud of what I have accomplished! Thanks Dad & Matt for teaching me how to do home improvement projects! | <urn:uuid:ead97736-c770-45bf-ad79-2a627fedfe4d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://mattandloribell.blogspot.com/2011/06/rent-house.html | 2018-05-21T15:03:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864405.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521142238-20180521162238-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.985079 | 418 | [

KIB 97 – The Spirit of David
Kingdom Intelligence Briefing
On today’s podcast, Dr. Lake and Mary discuss how the same anointing that enabled David to take down Goliath is being released today — an anointing that removes the reproach of fear off of God’s children. Dr. Lake discusses seven points of preparation for advancement including repentance, renewal of covenant, submission to the King, allowing faith to grow each day, progressive warfare, seeking to stay spiritually awake and enforcing your boundaries. While Mary has been excited about getting a new book together outlining each step of her healing, she has been seeking God for a way to get the information out without charging for the cost of printing the book. God responded by showing her a series of podcasts that can replace the book. Not only can these podcasts be posted on our website and available for free, it will allow her to speak prophetically and pray for the listeners. We want to thank our listeners for their support and prayers, as we earnestly seek the leading of the Holy Spirit during these next few months.
Dr. Michael Lake is the Chancellor and Founder of Biblical Life College and Seminary and is the author of the best-selling book, The Shinar Directive: Preparing the Way for the Son of Perdition, and the soon to be released book, The Sheeriyth Imperative.
Mary Lou Lake has worked side by side with her husband in ministry for over 30 years and is the author of the book, What Witches Don’t Want Christians to Know – Expanded Edition. | <urn:uuid:03d475fe-62cd-4d91-afdf-ce2c7f0694f0> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://kingdomintelligencebriefing.com/kib-97-the-spirit-of-david/ | 2018-05-22T13:40:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864790.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522131652-20180522151652-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.944796 | 323 | [

I was listening to Diane Rehm show in WAMU, and they were discussing the private accounts or partial privatization of Social Security. In fact, I would probably be ok with that, if you could prove me that it does not mean that if things don't go right for you, you won't be left on the dark. However, that does not seem to be the historical truth in the US.
I used to work as a social worker in Florida, with a case load full of elderly people living off Social Security, and if they were not living in poverty, I don't know what poverty is. Social Security as it is right now, hardly covers the basic needs of many. Therefore, how could it be that those private accounts will take care of that as handsomely as their proponents insist they will?
As always, all I have are questions.
1. The proponent of the private accounts, James Glassman, fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and host of TechCentralStation.com, insisted in saying that the system should have something for those who are "irresponsible," or even get "unlucky." This was just a second after Diane mentioned that the best estimates of the system imply that 80% of people would do well, but 20% would do worse. For Mr. Glassman, those 20% of the population are just "irresponsible" and a very small percentage may be unlucky. My question are: 1. there would be no space for "irresponsibility" since supposedly the system will ensure that everybody will only invest in "very secure" stocks and bonds, therefore, who are those 20% of irresponsible people? Could those be, in fact, the poorest of the society? Is someone making less than 7 dollars the hour and therefore investing a ridiculous amount in the stock market, irresponsible? He insisted in saying that people should take care of themselves, and I don't think anybody would disagree with that, except that now, it has been shown that increasing for instance the amount people could invest in things such as 401K and IRAs do not help the poorest people, because they hardly have any money to invest to begin with.
2. Compare this with the Prepaid College Plans, and the College Investment Trust Funds. The prepaid option implies you pay a certain amount, and you get the four years of education you paid for in advance. That's a state guarantee to you. Sort of like Social Security. However, in the trust funds you will reap the benefits, or the loses of whatever amount you put in. Reality now is: we invested in both in Virginia. We have the guarantee for the prepaid plan, but we have LOST money -literally, not just that the return has been small, but that we have put more money in than there is now in the account- in the trust fund. That's the reality of the market. Period. You may win big, you may lose big. That's why Social SECURITY exists. Because you need to guarantee the people that have worked all their lives and contributed to our society will have a decent retirement, and won't be left to the ups and downs of the market. We bear a common risk, and take a common responsibility. I understand that probably the States may not be able to guarantee their entire promises regarding the college plans, but then a solution will have to be implemented. Probably we will need to contribute more. Probably future investors in the plan will also have to contribute much more. Probably (much needed) caps to the ever increasing cost of higher education will have to be put in place. These are called adjustments, not doing away with the program. Of course, this is a minor problem compared with Social Security, because at the end of the day, college is only four years.
3. If I were to complain about the performance of the "very secure, and stable" blend of stocks and bonds in which the Trust Fund money have been invested I will receive the following answer: "past performance is not guarantee of future performance" and "the stock market, as we all know, took a dip in the late 90s." And that is, in fact, the truth. But that's why we could not put people's retirement in that kind of insecure security, because in fact, now, my daughter is about to go to college…and the money just is not there. We were very responsible, we put as much as we could there, and now it results that we would have been better off leaving the money in a savings account. I'm not complaining -well, maybe a little- because I knew the risks we were taking when we invested. All boils down to RISK.
4. Back to the late 90s. The stock market took a dip, the bubble burst, etc. and many people lost their 401k and their retirement investments. In fact, lets think just in the people that have worked on Enron all their lives and believed they'll have a very comfortable retirement after 30 years on the company. Many thought they had half a million dollars there waiting for them. (Of course, you don't put all your eggs in one basket, and all that, but that's not the point I'm making here.) Well, the company is no more, and they are now asking "you want paper or plastic?" Probably, the market could over a 40 years span actually be beneficial to you, but my question is: what happen to those who, at the time of their retirement, the market just goes down? How could one ask someone, less than 5 years after a market down turn that shook everybody's bank accounts, to just trust the knowledge of the market and put your retirement on its hands?
5. Entire companies are unable to deliver on their pension promises (well, the Bush administration will take care of that by helping the companies partake with those promises without major consequences) because the markets have not been what they expected. But now, we the people, and specially the poorest people should expect that, while the billions of United Airlines did not produce enough return on the investment, our 40 dollars per month will certainly make us millionaires by age 65. Who needs Social Security, anyway?
I make a salary that is way over the poverty level -although I have been down there, too-, and I requested to have 2% taken from it to go to my 401k, and I put another 1% on my IRA, plus 3% to my two daughters prepaid college plans. Well, there is no much left after I do that to take care of the over 10K day care cost, and the summer camps for the kids, so Mom can go to work. And, what is worst, what I'm putting in that 401K will only carry me through retirement if the stock market goes up so high that there is no bank capable to take care of Bill Gates' money. So, I wonder what can poorer people invest on their "private accounts."
I think probably the government should actually force people to save, by forcing them or creating enough incentives for them to contribute to IRAs accounts, and 401K, but don't tinker with the only cushion people have to fall back on. In fact, I would be ok with not taking any money from my SS after I retire if I make a sufficient amount of money to live comfortably without using my SS retirement. There is a price we all need to pay to live in a civilized society. I come from a poor country, and I have visited extensively other poorer countries. Poverty is not fun, and poverty is contagious. There is no such thing as living as a millionaire in a slump. If we don't stop poverty, we would be surprised how it comes back at us.
I'm amazed every time I take the kids to the doctor and pay the co pay and things like that. How uninsured people do? I just learned, for instance, that the orthodoncy to my daughter will cost $2,500 out of pocket -and we have health insurance-. Is orthodoncy in the luxury category?? People are already living without many things that are essential. I guess the next revolution, what Jefferson insisted that was necessary every now and then, will be over health care… and probably social security.
I must say that the other presenter at the show was Jacob Hacker, associate professor of political science at Yale University, fellow at the New America Foundation, and author of a forthcoming book entitled “The Great Risk Shift." He made much more sense, in fact.
How interesting, I was just talking about health care and the poor, and look what I just found:

Pulling the plug on school clinics
BY NICOLE WHITE
Here inside this pale-pink portable room on the campus of Miami Beach's Fienberg-Fisher Elementary, the everyday pains of being an elementary school student are soothed away.
Nurses dispense medicine for earaches, headaches and the flu, treat those besieged by chickenpox, pinkeye and asthma and marvel at the self-diagnosis of a 6-year-old who tells a nurse practitioner that her stomach pain cannot be from a ruptured appendix. She doesn't have one.
But this and other school-based community health clinics, which serve the children of Miami-Dade and Broward counties' working poor, are in peril of closing.
Others have been quietly laying off employees and cutting back services or have already closed.
The clinic at Nautilus Middle School, also in Miami Beach, is set to close at the end of the month, Fienberg-Fisher in June. Six other clinics have closed in Miami-Dade since 2003, including the clinic at R.R Moton Elementary in Homestead run by the University of Miami School of Nursing.
''We had lines of students all day long,'' said Rosemary Hall, former director of the clinic at R.R. Moton. ``It was a great piece of healthcare that we had there. I don't know what they're doing now.''
Three of the six school-based health clinics in North Broward have closed in recent years: the Seagull School in Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach's Ely High School Health Center and Charles Drew Family Resource Center.
At its meeting today, the Miami Beach Commission will discuss giving the clinics in its city enough aid to stay open through the end of the year, said Commissioner Matti Bower.
''Many of these children are from the lowest economic strata in our city -- a city that is believed to be very wealthy,'' Bower said. ``There has to be something we can all do to fix this.''
Ninety percent of the 680 students at Fienberg-Fisher use the clinic. Dozens more from an adjoining day-care center also are registered there.
''They know my child,'' said Cindy Ferraiudo, who watched as her daughter, Danielle Cespedes, 10, was examined by the clinic's nurse practitioner, Linda Washington-Brown.
''They can't do this to us and close this clinic. Too many kids who don't have medical coverage rely on this clinic,'' she said.
SAME FUNDING POOL
The clinics, though located on school campuses in both counties, are run primarily by community-based healthcare providers who all tap the same funding pool: federal and state grants; private donations and in-kind contributions from local hospitals. But with healthcare costs rising and grants not being renewed, providers say they have no choice but to close some facilities.
''We're facing a catastrophe,'' said Kathryn Abbate, executive director of the Miami Beach Community Health Center. The center has used a federal grant to fund much of the services provided at the clinics at Fienberg-Fisher, Nautilus and Miami Beach High since 1996.
The grants used to supplement the clinics at elementary and middle schools have expired. It costs $500,000 annually to operate the Miami Beach clinics in danger of closing, Abbate said.
The choices were grim, said Abbate: scale back services at the two health centers that serve thousands of patients at full service sites or close the school clinics.
''No one wants to close these clinics, but the reality is we have no money to do both,'' Abbate said.
Funding for these types of clinics is complex.
Miami-Dade and Broward schools do not have a dedicated line item in the state budget for healthcare in schools.
In a different era, a school nurse was part of every school's support staff. Today, funding for school health is so limited that even school nurses are rare: According to Miami-Dade school officials, there are 14 nurses spread among the district's 340 schools.
In Miami-Dade, 19 schools receive state funding to provide a social worker on site. Students at these schools also get access to primary healthcare via a medical van that visits as needed.
Another 24 schools -- down from 26 two years ago -- have what providers call a "mini doctor's office'' or full-service clinic on site in which a nurse practitioner can diagnose and dispense medication to students. Those are run by community-based organizations that get their funding from multiple sources.
An example: The John T. MacDonald Foundation at the University of Miami School of Medicine established a $6.5 million grant to provide full-service clinics at five schools in North Miami Beach.
More than half the 8,100 students in the five schools are registered at the clinics, said Patricia Stauffer, program administrator.
''I don't think people really understand the power of being there when kids really need you,'' said Stauffer. ``They're struggling. All of us are just wondering what the future might hold for us . . . but we're plugging along.''
Healthcare providers are lobbying for funding in the near future. But to do this they need to get legislation passed defining what their services would be.
State Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami, has sponsored a bill to do that when the Legislature meets next month.
''There's a true need for this, no question about it,'' Wilson said.
Meanwhile, the work continues.
On Monday mornings, just minutes after the bell declares the start of a new school week, the nurse practitioner and medical assistant at Fienberg-Fisher prepare for their busiest day.
Dozens of kids with ailments stream in. Their parents rattle off the symptoms: fever, runny nose, stomach pains.
Eighty-two percent of the students who have used the clinic since August returned to class, said Fienberg-Fisher Principal Olga Figueras.
Closing a clinic as large as the one at Fienberg-Fisher would be devastating, said Wilma Steiner, the school district's instructional supervisor for health.
''We have found through the years that the most efficient and effective way to deliver health services is where the children are,'' Steiner said. ``It's a win-win all around.''

Johannes Kuhn was born and raised in Munich, Germany, a thriving city of 1.5 million people, which holds Oktoberfest each year. Johannes studied Media Management at the Media Design University for Applied Science in Munich, and leapt at the opportunity to come on exchange to Otago Polytechnic.
“It was a very easy decision. I had only ever heard good things about New Zealand and the Graduate Diploma in Strategic Management at Otago Polytechnic offered the best fit for my existing studies.
“I wanted to challenge myself by going abroad, by getting in touch with a different culture, improving my English, getting new academic input and growing as a person.
“My time at Otago Polytechnic was a blast. I can’t really pinpoint the best thing. The study environment was great…there was a good combination of hands-on projects and academic research. And on the weekends I went out in Dunedin, made new friends, and travelled around New Zealand as much as possible. I got to see Queenstown, Christchurch, Milford Sound, Wellington, Auckland, Rotorua, Cape Reinga and Kaikoura, went on an amazing train trip, and saw seals and penguins in the wild.”
After graduating, Johannes returned home to Munich and started working at MegaZebra, a social and mobile game development company, founded in 2009. Johannes started as a marketing intern and worked his way up. He is now the Marketing and Business Intelligence Manager and Coordinator.

An update to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, which assesses the extinction risk of the world's plants, animals, and fungi, moves a key gorilla subspecies, the Democratic Republic of Congo's Grauer's gorilla, to "critically endangered" status.
Just 3800 Grauer's gorilla remain - a sharp decline in numbers for the world's largest gorilla, and one largely driven by geopolitical upheaval as the Rwandan genocide drove large numbers of refugees into the gorilla's habitat.
The sharp decline of Grauer's gorilla meant that the larger species to which it belongs, the Eastern gorilla - which also includes the Mountain gorilla - was listed as "critically endangered".
The international meeting, which convenes every four years, is the world's largest environmental decision-making forum, bringing together heads of state and other government officials, civilians, indigenous peoples, business leaders, and academics to address the world's biggest conservation challenges.
Over 8000 delegates from 184 countries are in attendance.
The IUCN uses the Red List to classify organisms according to the severity of their extinction risk; in descending order of threat, the categories are "critically endangered," "endangered," "vulnerable,"
"near threatened" and "least concern," The list also includes categories for extinct and data-deficient species. Of the 82,954 species currently assessed, more than a quarter are threatened with extinction. | <urn:uuid:f71283f1-4d50-40c6-9134-e54f15be5383> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://theminkeconnection.blogspot.com/2016/09/worlds-largest-gorilla-now-critically.html | 2018-05-23T14:39:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865679.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523141759-20180523161759-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.907805 | 293 | [

Targeted therapies block cancer from growing and spreading by interfering with specific genes or proteins necessary for tumor growth. This approach differs greatly from the traditional weapons against cancer such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Scientists have long been working to better understand how a cancer cell becomes a cancer cell and how its vulnerabilities can be exploited to deliver better therapies with fewer side effects. While we have made notable progress in improving outcomes for people living with cancer over the last several decades, there has been a growing interest in developing highly targeted medicines to treat cancer. We’ve now realized that targeted drugs with the most selectivity often have the greatest potential for maximizing patients’ clinical benefit.
Designing selective drugs is the first important learning in the field of targeted therapies. The second important learning is that targeted therapies often deliver most clinical benefit when examined in the patients most likely to derive benefit. These learnings have been enabled by genetic testing. In the past ten years alone, we’ve seen an incredible shift in cancer care – one that uses information about a person’s genes and proteins to better diagnose and treat. Precision medicine has led us to the understanding that many types of cancer need to be treated at the genetic level – treatment chosen based on a patient’s specific genetic alteration. Increasingly, genetic testing is shaping the development and use of some of the newest cancer treatments, and Loxo Oncology’s programs are designed to leverage some of the most recent advances in genetic testing to find the patients most likely to derive significant benefit from our targeted therapies. | <urn:uuid:e043bbbd-73ab-4ef6-83fd-2e9eb18ca3ff> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.loxooncology.com/focus/targeted-therapies | 2018-05-23T14:30:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865679.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523141759-20180523161759-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.958411 | 317 | [

When young Austin Siegelman hustled Able Yankee to a come- from- behind 1:57.3 victory at Monticello Raceway on Monday afternoon, August 4 he lit up the tote board after the 9 year old McArdle mare paid a whopping $221.00 for win.
However, as huge as the payoff was, and it’s big for an eight-horse field, it still was dwarfed by the Mighty M’s all-time biggest return of $377.00 on a two dollar win ticket produced by Cam Dan Kadandy and driver Greg Annoloro on September 26, 2012.
In their victory Siegelman and his pacing mare used a second-over trip and came from behind to collar the pace-setter, 1-9 favorite Slickety Split (Jimmy Marohn), and score a head victory; just the second in 22 seasonal starts for Able Yankee.
Last fall at the Monticello-Goshen Chapter USHWA Awards Banquet Siegelman was cited with the scribes ‘Rising Star Award’.
“Winning the Rising Star Award definitely gives me a lot of confidence going forward,” Siegelman, from Kingston, Pa., told a reporter of his hometown newspaper, the Citizen’s Voice.
During the 2013 season Siegelman was beginning to be noticed as a talented catch-driver and local trainers were starting to avail themselves of his abilities.
That year Siegelman got his name in the Monticello Raceway record books after he drove Mymomsablizzard to a 1:57 triumph which equaled the track standard set by Aren’t I Hanover who toured the double oval here in the identical time for Zeke Parker on August21, 2013.
In only his second year in the sulky he finished the 2013 season with 90 winners. This year he has already reined 130 winners
Siegelman, who turned 22 years of age this past February 22, has recently been doing double -duty, also racing regularly at Saratoga Raceway and he added three winners to his seasonal resume on the Saturday night card of August 3 at Saratoga Raceway.
A quiet young man whose star is certainly on the rise, Siegelman isn’t one to celebrate openly. He lets his prowess speak for him. However he recently said; “ I plan on being in this business for a long time and hopefully these things are just the beginning of great things to come.” | <urn:uuid:d7864140-4d75-4646-bbcd-2b79d29fdee0> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://standardbredpress.blogspot.com/2014/08/austin-siegelman-drives-22100-winner-at.html | 2018-05-24T13:34:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866326.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524131721-20180524151721-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.971162 | 524 | [

THE FIGHTER FACTORY
The Fighter Factory maintenance facility was relocated to a new hangar on the museum property in April 2011. This is where all of the aircraft on display at the museum receive their annual inspections and most of the maintenance work is performed.
The hangar is 16,000 square feet, which is 25% larger than its previous home in Suffolk. The building includes an open hangar space, workshops, parts storage rooms, and offices. Visitors are welcome to join a docent for a tour of the Fighter Factory’s maintenance hangar during the normal work week. | <urn:uuid:9361386f-9e58-4fae-88c6-aa5f0c8c3a1d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://militaryaviationmuseum.org/hangars/fighter-factory/ | 2018-05-25T15:04:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867094.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525141236-20180525161236-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.952476 | 117 | [

After delving into the vacuous lifestyle of a celebrity in “Somewhere,” Sofia Coppola tackles celebrity anew in “The Bling Ring,” this time from the viewpoint of the teens who idolize them so much that they want to be them. Based on the Vanity Fair article “The Suspects Wore Louboutins,“
her new film stars Emma Watson (sporting an impeccable Valley accent and skimpy outfits that would make Harry Potter
blush), Taissa Farmiga and a string of newcomers (including Israel
Broussard, Katie Chang, Claire Julien and Georgia Rock) as a group of
Southern California high schoolers who infamously stole close to $2 million worth of goodies from the likes of Paris Hilton,
Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox. Coppola’s film opens with the crew each
recounting the series of events after being found out by the cops.
I called up the soft-spoken Coppola to discuss what attracted her to the story, how her and Hilton (who’s house is featured in the film) are getting on, and society’s current obsession with all things fame related. “The Bling Ring” opens in select theaters today.
You saw this film premiere at Cannes, where you were infamously booed for “Marie Antoinette.” How did this experience compare to the last?
It was really exciting and everyone seemed enthusiastic. It was fun after just finishing it to see it for the first time with an audience and the cast all together at Cannes.
Cannes strikes me as an ideal place to premiere “The Bling Ring” given the opulence on display and the party scene at the festival. Did it seem like an ideal venue for you?
Yeah, I mean I always have such good memories of Cannes. It’s this international festival and it has the “bling” aspect that suited this movie. And yeah, the timing for it to come out is summer — I think it helped bring attention to it.
How much of your own past played into you wanting to take this story on? You grew up in the spotlight, luckily before the whole online craze erupted.
When I read the story and learned that they were teenagers I did think about how different it was when I was growing up. We didn’t have reality TV or all those websites or the internet. And just the whole idea that anybody could be famous, and everybody is famous. That whole mentality was so different then.
Have you ever encountered folks like the ones you portray in the film over the course of your time in the industry, either in casting sessions or just out and about?
I don’t really know kids like the ones in the story. But we went to LA clubs and stuff when we were working on this; everyone was on their phones and texting and photographing themselves, and I wanted to have that feeling. But no, this world was pretty exotic to me. But then there’s kind of just the universal teenagers getting in trouble and wanting to be part of a group — that part I could totally relate to.
Given that it was exotic territory for you, what did you do with your cast in order to accurately portray this generation?
Well because they’re they’re the age of the real kids, they can relate more to the whole social media side of it. Only Claire [Julien], the blonde, is from LA, so she took them to some high school parties and took them around LA. And the boy, he didn’t know about fashion, so Katie [Chang] taught him about that. You just try to immerse themselves in the stuff that the kids are into.
So it sounds like they played a large part in opening your eyes to that world.
No, it wasn’t… I guess it wasn’t that unfamiliar to me because that whole kind of tabloid culture is so around everywhere that it’s hard not to be familiar with it. But yeah, I guess we immersed ourselves in all that. I know Emma [Watson] watched a lot of [“Keeping Up with the] Kardashians” to get her accent right, and I went to some clubs and stuff.
We all know that our current culture is so obsessed with fame, but what struck me watching this, and what I was so disturbed by, was the fact that these kids were so entitled. They don’t really see anything wrong with robbing the homes of these celebs and thereby invading their privacy.
Yeah, I was struck that they thought it was okay to just kind of go in and hang out in these houses and take things. I felt like with Twitter and social media that there are less boundaries and mystique. They felt like they knew these people. They felt like they could just kind of go in there and hang out. Yeah, I think that’s a recent feeling.
From what I’m gauging, people within the age bracket of the Bling Ring are clamoring to see the movie. How do you feel about people of that age set seeing the film?
I try to make it fun, but by the end, for the audience to experience that and then think about what’s important to them and how they feel about it. So I think it’s good to be self-reflective about that side of how we live in our culture. And I know that kids that see it are into it. I obviously don’t think all kids are like the ones in the movie, the movie is like this really extreme side. And I think we can all look at ourselves — at least I do.
I also like making movies for a young audience because I think they’re smarter and more sophisticated than they’re given credit for a lot of the time.
Did you make this film with an audience in mind?
I wanted it to appeal to that age and then also to people more in my generation, an older generation that are thinking more as parents and things. I just think it’s so in the air and part of our culture that I think it’s interesting to both audiences.
You have kids of your own, much younger than the ones in the film. Did you make this in any way to warn them of the consequences should they choose to go down a similar path as the Bling Ring?
No, they’re not allowed to. My daughter, my six-year-old, would come into the editing room and I’d have to cover her eyes. No, it’s not meant as a warning, it’s really meant to show this story was so kind of unbelievable, to show the slice of that experience that I thought it might be like — and for people to be able to look at it and think about that. But I don’t want to tell them what to think; leave it for the audience to experience it and decide what they think.
Emma Watson’s a revelation in the film. Did her celebrity factor into you casting her? She could have been one of the targeted celebrities had she had her own place in LA.
I didn’t think of her in that way. I think of her more as this long, hard-working actress from “Harry Potter.” But if anything that was a hindrance. Like, I didn’t want her to stick out from the crowd, so I thought she did such a good job of blending in and transforming herself. You’re not looking, “Oh there’s Emma Watson” the whole time, because that was definitely something I was worried about. But then when I saw her transform into the character I thought she could do it. But I wasn’t trying to make a comment by having a movie star. And I wasn’t thinking of her in the part at all, except for my casting people thought she could do it.
So then what was your reason for casting a bunch of unknowns around her?
I mean at that age, it’s exciting to have actors that you don’t know.There aren’t that many well-known 16-year-old that don’t have a big following. It’s just exciting. I like to see movies where you haven’t seen the actors before. And there’s just a naturalness and freshness to these young actors that are really the age of the kids. So it was exciting to put this group together of newcomers. And luckily Emma could blend in with them.
Paris Hilton, who’s house you filmed in and around, has been joining you on the promotional tour for the film, popping up in Cannes and at the LA premiere. What’s it been like sharing this experience with her?
It’s been pretty surreal. I’m happy that she’s been a part of it. She had shown me security footage of the kids in the house, which of course was upsetting to her, so when she saw the movie she said it was emotional for her to see them in there. But then she got a kick out of when the audience sees her house for the first time and the humor in it. I was surprised that she enjoyed all that. So yeah, it was fun having her be a part of it. | <urn:uuid:977bb4d3-70c5-4922-a44a-7123f7621ba7> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.indiewire.com/2013/06/sofia-coppola-on-her-reasons-for-making-the-bling-ring-casting-emma-watson-and-getting-to-know-paris-hilton-37603/ | 2018-05-25T15:10:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867094.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525141236-20180525161236-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.983162 | 1,983 | [

TOLLAND, CT - "The benefits of restoring, enhancing, and protecting agricultural lands and critical wetlands cannot be overstated." That was the response of Connecticut Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) State Conservationist Thomas L. Morgart following USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack's announcement of the availability of $350 million nationwide to help landowners protect and restore key farmlands, grasslands, and wetlands.
The funding Vilsack referred to is provided through the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP), which was created in the 2014 Farm Bill to protect critical water resources and wildlife habitat, and encourage private owners to maintain their land for farming and ranching. Through the voluntary sale of an easement, landowners limit future development to protect these key resources.
ACEP's agricultural land easements not only protect the long-term viability of the nation's food supply by preventing conversion of productive working lands to non-agricultural uses, they also support environmental quality, wildlife habitat, and historic preservation and protection of open spaces. Native American Tribes, state and local governments and non-governmental organizations that have farmland or grassland protection programs are eligible to partner with NRCS to purchase conservation easements.
Wetland reserve easements allow landowners to successfully restore, enhance, and protect habitat for wildlife on their lands, reduce damage from flooding, recharge groundwater, and provide outdoor recreational and educational opportunities. Eligible landowners can choose to enroll in a permanent or 30-year easement. Tribal landowners also have the option of enrolling in 30-year contracts.
To apply, entities should submit applications for funding by January 15, 2016. To find out more about the application process, visit the ACEP-ALE page on the Connecticut NRCS website (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/ct/programs/easements/acep/?cid=stelprdb1249593).
Statewide during FY2014 and FY2015, NRCS invested more than $5 million in ACEP funding to help landowners engage in voluntary conservation to provide long-term protection of an estimated 2,000 acres of farmland, grassland, and wetlands through conservation easements.
"USDA is committed to preserving working agricultural lands to help protect the long-term viability of farming across the country, as well as to restoring and protecting vital sensitive wetlands that provide important wildlife habitat and improve water quality," said Morgart.

The all “Lebron James is the King, the King of Dbags” edition. Seriously, I’m not even going to bother putting any effort into explaining what each link is…just let it suffice to say that each one will be something negative about Lebron, because that’s what he, and his ego that is substantially bigger than the size of Russia (I wonder if Palin can see Lebron’s ego from her house too), deserve.

CPM may be losing its ground steadily in the political landscape of Bengal but its students’ arm SFI made a comeback in the Jadavpur University arts and science faculty union after a two-year hiatus. Other two faculties — science and engineering — however, closed the doors on student organizations of mainstream political parties. Significantly, Trinamool Chhatra Parishad has lost all the five office-bearers’ post.
Interestingly, a considerable number of students have opted for NOTA. Around 12% voters in engineering pressed the NOTA button while in arts and science, the figure stood at 10%. In fact, NOTA came second in at least two office-bearer posts — other than the GS — in engineering faculty. A majority of engineering students, as always, went with the Democratic Students’ Front (DSF). However, this faculty saw a rise in the ‘saffron’ vote share. Independent candidate backed by BJP’s student wing ABVP Rohit Jha bagged 646 votes.
Science students opted for the independents. We The Independents (WTI) — an independent organization — romped home with flying colours. The ripples were felt in the arts faculty with another independent organisation — Forum for Arts Students (FAS) — making a foray into key departments. FAS and others in the Opposition — AISA, DSO — have been more or less able to retain their support base as SFI took advantage of the multi-pronged contest.
SFI state president Madhuja Sen Roy congratulated JU students for supporting the party when “some people had written the Left off”. “Our victory in JU has come as a boost to our comrades elsewhere in the state where they are fighting against TMCP atrocities. The JU vote is also a rejection of the ABVP/RSS politics,” Sen said.
Independent candidate Rohit Jha isn’t losing heart very badley. “I got considerable number of votes. We targeted 1,000 votes and could have reached the figure if there was a good turnout of fourth year students,” Jha said. | <urn:uuid:9238095d-548f-411c-9462-fee51e1e2a8d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.bindaskolkata.com/2017/02/21/science-engineering-shun-mainstream-parties-sfi-bags-arts/ | 2018-05-26T13:59:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867417.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526131802-20180526151802-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.971601 | 449 | [

I’m reading Graham Greene’s The Heart Of The Matter at the moment. It’s not exactly inspiring anything towards my ethereal steampunk fantasy, but Greene’s one of my brother’s favourite writers, so I wanted to see what the fuss was about.
It’s the kind of thing that was probably on my Uni literature course that I neglected to read because I was too busy farting about.
I found it on my parents’ bookshelf a few weeks ago – a yellowing Penguin classic print from 1969 nestled among its peers, all bought by my Mum while she was at university.
The price on the back cover says United Kingdom 20p / 4 shillings. That was probably about 50 quid in today’s money.
The story’s about a middle-aged Englishman in West Africa during WWII, whose love for two women, and his attempts to keep them both happy, lead him to disaster.
It’s good, but what I’m enjoying most are the little notes scrawled in the margin by my 19-year-old mum-to-be. They’re few and far between, but I love coming accross them.
The first appears in the opening sentence, no less.
Wilson sat on the balcony of the Bedford Hotel with his bald pink knees thrust against the ironwork.
A dash links the underlined words to the note:
good indication of charac
I suppose it is: bald pink knees brings with it connotations of youth, innocence, frailty and, perhaps, sunburn. All these aspects can also be attributed to Wilson’s shy, lonely demeanour, a new arrival from England.
That’s an impressive level of analysis from my Mum there! Did she notice it on first reading? Or go back to the first sentence having gleaned Wilson’s character? I’ll ask, but I doubt she remembers.
Much later, Scobie is speaking to Father Rank, who is apparently in the throes of an existential quandary:
When I was a novice, I thought that people talked to their priests, and I thought God somehow gave the right words… God doesn’t give the right words, Scobie.
In the margin is etched:
priest with probs
Indeed he is.
Some might think scribbling in a book is an unforgivable desecration, but I felt like I was sharing something with the young girl I never met, a girl who became my Mum, and taught me everything I know.
Certainly more than I was taught at university, anyway.
What about you? Do you make notes, or spit when you see them in a second-hand purchase? | <urn:uuid:1b9c4f2f-43a4-49c0-8866-cb8c1f4de0c2> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://rightplacerighttim.com/2015/07/22/notes-from-the-60s-my-mums-take-on-graham-greene/ | 2018-05-27T15:33:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794869272.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527151021-20180527171021-00156.warc.gz | en | 0.973966 | 582 | [

METAIRIE – Eight was enough hits and enough pitchers for No. 8 LSU to hold off the University of Louisiana for a 3-2 victory in the 14th annual Wally Pontiff Jr. Classic in front of 9,963 at The Shrine on Airline Tuesday night.
LSU’s last five pitchers combined for a shutout over the final four innings as well as seven strikeouts. Todd Peterson, who pitched the third and fourth innings in relief of starter Matthew Beck, picked up the win to improve to 2-1. He allowed no runs on one hit with one walk and two strikeouts, while Hunter Newman picked up his fourth save of the season with a perfect ninth.
But it was reliever Zack Hess who did the ultra clutch pitching. He entered in the sixth inning with the Cajuns threatening while down 3-2 with one out and runners on second and third.
“Go get the strikeout, big boy,” LSU coach Paul Mainieri said he told Hess, a 6-foot-6 freshman from Forest, Virginia. “And he did. That was baptism by fire right there.”
Hess struck out Tyler Stover and Todd Lott in succession swinging to end the inning. UL had one more serious threat in the seventh when Brad Antchak tripled with one out, but he was left stranded.
The Tigers (23-11) scored all the runs they needed for their third straight win in the fourth inning. Zach Watson and Josh Smith singled to open the inning off UL starter Jack Burk. Then Nick Coomes’ single gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead. After a sacrifice bunt by Michael Papierski and a line drive out by Antoine Duplantis, Kramer Robertson delivered a two-out, two-run single to give the Tigers a 3-0 lead.
The Cajuns (18-14-1) cut it to 3-2 in the top of the fifth on a RBI double by Handsome Monica and a RBI single to shallow center by Antchak. Monica was thrown out at the plate trying to score from second on Antchak’s single by shortstop Kramer Robertson, who fielded the ball in center and bounced it in to Papierski at catcher for the apparent tag of Monica. But replays showed Papierski likely missed the tag. The play proved costly for the Cajuns as Ishmael Edwards followed with a single, which would have scored Monica had he held at third. Brenn Conrad then grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to end the inning.
“That ended up being the difference in the game,” Robertson said. “You really don’t think about it at the time. I was sitting on a slider and got a slider.”
Tyler Stover walked to lead off the UL fifth off LSU reliever Austin Bain. Then Lott singled, chasing Bain. Colin Strall relieved to pitch to Monica. The Cajuns finished with eight hits in all, but left six runners on.
LSU improved to 12-2 in the Pontiff Classic and won with its lowest run output in the history of the charity game named after Wally Pontiff Jr., who helped lead the Tigers to the 2000 national championship. A native of Metairie who went to Jesuit High, Pontiff died at the age of 21 in 2002 following his LSU career because of an abnormal heart.
“It was a good, hard-fought victory against a very good ball club,” Mainieri said. “It was a great ball game, and we had some clutch pitching throughout the night. We had a tremendous crowd, and our team fed off the energy in the stadium and played very well. The Pontiff Classic is a wonderful event, and we’re proud to participate each year in front of our great fans in the New Orleans area.”
Burk (2-4) took the loss, but pitched well. He allowed eight hits and three runs with two walks in six innings while striking out five.
“Jack threw a great ballgame and we played good defense behind him,” UL coach Tony Robichaux said. “We just couldn’t get the critical hit at the critical time. We had a couple strikeouts with runners in scoring position where we needed to put the ball into play. They put the ball into play when it mattered, and that’s the difference in this game.”
While catching in the bottom of the fifth, Monica took a pitch off his Adam’s apple and needed a few minutes to gather himself. Monica, whose first name is legally Handsome, stayed in the game and immediately showed he was better than OK as he tagged Greg Deichmann out at the plate after a throw from shortstop Brad Antchak, then threw Watson out at second trying to steal.
LSU loaded the bases in the bottom of the first inning with two outs, but Burk fielded a hot shot grounder with his bare, right hand and threw out LSU hitter Josh Smith for the third out to retire the side with the score 0-0.
Cole Freeman singled for the Tigers with one out in the first. Then Deichmann singled to right field, where Steven Sensley bobbled the ball for an error, putting runners on second and third. Burk struck out Jordan Romero for the second out before walking Zach Watson to load the bases and bring up Smith, who took Burk to a full count.
Conrad singled in the first inning off LSU starter Matthew Beck and was left stranded.

Memed – 8 Things About Me
1. My name is Nik. Not Nick. NIK. I have not changed it – it’s what my parents named me. The only other people (as far as I know) who use Nik as a name (not as an abbreviation for Nikolai or anything similar) are Native Americans. I like that.
2. In the language of the Ojibwe, as well as being a name, Nik also means goose.
3. I only ever write, longhand, with one pen. It’s a lovely blue Waterman ball pen I received from the love of my life last Christmas. Before that I used anything – usually Staedtler ball points. (I should add, not wanting to mislead anyone, that I do use a red pen for editing).
4. I support Manchester United football team.
5. In all the school visits, book signings and workshops I’ve done, I’ve only once not been able to answer a question. It was: ‘What do I dislike the most?’ I still don’t have an answer but bullying, bigotry and arrogance would all feature highly. And liars.
6. I believe in ghosts.
7. I used to sell cars.
8. I was once told by my headmaster at primary school, after I’d been beaten up (again), ‘to do whatever a bully tells me to.’ I still think that was the stupidest piece of ‘advice’ I’ve ever heard.
On that note I’d always advise that if anyone is being bullied they tell someone – preferrably a teacher or a parent. I’d also advise the teachers to listen and not think that it can be stopped, in any way, shape or form, by shying away from it. Cowardice doesn’t work, David.
So that’s it. The eight things you might not have known about me. I hope that at least one person finds something interesting in the above. I’ll not hold my breath though! | <urn:uuid:d921b653-e550-4de2-b668-6b808d44b3e0> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://nikperring.com/119/ | 2018-05-21T16:40:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864461.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521161639-20180521181639-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.969033 | 450 | [

The human touch. Vital.
Just now I had a fine and fabulous hour and half of body work. It was exquisite. There were knots I knew I had and some she found that were surprising. Time was taken with tender deep work to unravel and relax me.
What I realized at the very end of this time, as my head was being massaged and her sweet intuition realized the nirvana that I had reached, was that just being touched in such a sensitive and caring way was, in itself, healing. Not just the untying of the chunks of overworked and tense muscles, but the touch.
Having not been in a romantic relationship for years, I miss touch. Not sex, necessarily, although that might be just fine also. But, touch. Cuddling. Thankfully I have a community that treasures hugs, as does my family. We all need that loving touch.
Forgive me from quoting a commercial a ways back from some communication company —
“Reach out and touch someone.” Trust me, they will feel better. | <urn:uuid:677dac97-4444-48fe-9c5e-748d5e3bfb03> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://northcountryfarms.com/2017/03/04/reach-out-and-touch-someone/ | 2018-05-21T16:35:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864461.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521161639-20180521181639-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.99083 | 218 | [

The term “permanent residency” can be misleading. There are multiple situations through which this status can be lost. Even when permanent residents play by the rules – obeying the law, paying their taxes, and carefully planning any trips out of the U.S. – things can go wrong. As such, anyone considering an extended absence from the U.S., or with concerns about maintaining their status, should obtain immediate legal counsel to ensure that all steps are followed in the most precise manner possible.
The path to permanent residency can be long and challenging. Once obtained, permanent resident status can provide an individual or family with a great sense of comfort. With permanent resident status, an individual is entitled to live and work in the U.S., qualify for social programs and financial aid, and to travel abroad. However, the word “permanent” can give people a false sense of security. It’s not uncommon for a “permanent” resident to return from a trip abroad, only to have the Department of Homeland Security allege that they abandoned their permanent resident status. This is not surprising when a permanent resident has one or more extended absences from the U.S.
The Six-Month and One-Year Marks
Once permanent residency has been granted, the intent to remain in the U.S. becomes paramount to avoid a finding of abandonment. Although leaving the U.S. is permitted, trips that are too frequent or too long may present an issue. Generally, absences of less than six months will fall under the radar if they are not particularly frequent and the permanent resident has strong ties to the U.S. Problems may arise, however, beyond the six-month mark. Absences of between six months and one year are suspect, but may still be permitted depending on their frequency, reason for travel, etc. However, trips outside of the U.S. for one year or more are of special concern. Returning to the U.S. following an absence of more than one year may be difficult, as the permanent resident is considered to have abandoned their status.
The Impermanence of Permanence
There are many ways in which you can lose your permanent resident status. If, for example, you obtained “conditional permanent resident status” based on marriage or a qualifying investment, your status may be terminated if you committed fraud at any point in the process. You can also lose permanent status by committing a criminal offense. However, abandoning your permanent status is another issue altogether. Any of the following situations may result in an assumption of abandonment:
•Moving abroad with the intent to remain in the other country permanently.
•A lengthy absence from the U.S., unless your absence was intended to be temporary.
•Failing to file U.S. income taxes while living abroad.
•Declaring on your tax returns that you are a “nonimmigrant.”
The Rules of Intent
Intent plays an important role in determining whether someone abandoned his or her permanent resident status. It is crucial to be proactive about proving intent; waiting until permanent residency has been challenged may prove ineffective. It is also often unsuccessful to simply tell U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that your intent all along was to timely return to the U.S. and maintain your permanent resident status.
A One-Size-Fits-All Solution Doesn’t Exist
When it comes to permanent resident status, no two residents are alike. If you have family ties in the U.S., own property, file tax returns annually, and are gainfully employed, CBP is less likely to take the position that you have abandoned your status. But such a scenario is not impossible.
Reeves Miller Zhang & Diza – Full-Service Immigration Law Firm
If you are considering being outside the U.S. for an extended period of time, it is highly recommended that you speak with an immigration attorney about a Re-Entry Permit. Or, if you have already been outside of the U.S. for an extended period of time and are concerned about whether you will be permitted to return with only your green card, you may want to inquire about a Returning Resident Visa.
Obtaining legal counsel before you make any decisions that could impact your ability to live and work in the U.S. is advisable. However, we do recognize that situations sometimes change due to circumstances beyond your control. If you find yourself facing abandonment or deportation proceedings, the skilled legal team at Reeves Miller Zhang & Diza can help. We will analyze the details of your unique situation to determine the most appropriate strategy.

AIDS at 30: A Relentless Search for Answers
Posted on June 3, 2011
A brief report on five gay men in Los Angeles with a rare and deadly form of pneumonia, published on June 5, 1981, sparked an ominous flash of recognition in a number of physicians and researchers in New York City.
Dr. Mathilde Krim in her laboratory at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
They, too, were seeing such cases: young, previously healthy patients, nearly all gay men, who were appearing with swollen lymph nodes, pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, a rare skin cancer called Kaposi’s sarcoma, and other infections usually associated with weakened immune systems. Many of them were dying.
The report, published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, was the first public acknowledgment of the condition that came to be known as AIDS.
Mathilde Krim, Ph.D., then a researcher at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, was among the first to recognize the urgent need for a robust research effort. Faced with inertia from government officials, in 1983 she founded the AIDS Medical Foundation (AMF), which awarded its first research grants the following year.
“From day one, we decided to deal with the fundamental aspects of the AIDS problem,” said Dr. Krim. “We were mostly people coming from the scientific and medical worlds and we had specialized knowledge that we could exploit in the fight against AIDS.”
Harley Hackett, an AMF board member, also realized that that something terrible was unfolding. His friend Joseph Sonnabend, M.D., was treating gay men in New York’s Greenwich Village. “Unless doctors were working with gay male patients, they were not likely to see enough people with these symptoms to know how enormous it was going to be,” said Hackett. “But more and more people were getting sicker and sicker in different ways.”
“Research Was Our Only Hope”
In 1985, AMF joined with the Los Angeles-based National AIDS Research Foundation to form the American Foundation for AIDS Research—amfAR. The Foundation would play a crucial role in funding early studies of HIV and later in the development of antiretroviral therapy. “It was a matter of life and death,” said Hackett. “The research was the only hope we had.”
The approval in 1987 of the first anti-HIV drug, AZT, was an important milestone. Still, AZT’s side effects were debilitating and the drug was only partly effective in combating the virus. The real turning point came in 1995 when the first protease inhibitors appeared, paving the way for triple combination therapy—the drug cocktails that revolutionized the treatment of HIV. “We called it the Lazarus syndrome,” said Jeffrey Laurence, M.D., who soon joined amfAR and is now the Foundation’s senior scientific consultant. “It was amazing—patients came back to life.”
Stigma and Fear
Even after scientists had established that HIV/AIDS could not be spread by casual contact, the disease continued to provoke fear and misinformation. The intense stigma attached to HIV, often fueled by homophobia, caused people to be shunned by friends, co-workers, and even family members, and led many to keep their status hidden. “People affected by AIDS were being neglected because of their sexual orientation,” explained Dr. Krim. “Gay men were accused of creating the problem.”
Dr. Jeffrey Laurence in Cornell University Medical School’s Laboratory of AIDS Virus Research
In fact, anyone who came into contact with an HIV-positive person could be shunned. “At Rockefeller University, where I worked, the mailmen stopped bringing my mail to the lab,” said Dr. Laurence. “The secretaries wouldn’t let me put my coat in the office; they wanted me to put it in the hall. They were afraid I was carrying something.”
Early advocacy efforts by amfAR and other AIDS organizations were aimed at ensuring that people living with the virus enjoyed the same rights as their fellow citizens, including the right to treatment and care. Dame Elizabeth Taylor was an early and vocal advocate, and her outspokenness on Capitol Hill and in the media helped bring AIDS out of the shadows.
“She saw this terrible disease, and she was angered by the fact that nobody was doing anything about it,” said amfAR CEO Kevin Robert Frost. “She just stepped right into the breach." Together with Dr. Krim, Dame Elizabeth lobbied for increased federal funds for research, prevention, education, treatment, and care.
The End of AIDS?
When the first AIDS cases were reported, no one knew what was causing it, how it was being transmitted, or how to prevent and treat it. Thirty years later, people with HIV/AIDS are living longer and healthier lives thanks to antiretroviral therapy, HIV-positive mothers are safely delivering babies who are HIV-negative, and new prevention strategies are helping to reduce the number of new infections.
Yet, as AIDS enters its fourth decade, more than 33 million people are living with the virus and 25 million people have died of AIDS-related illnesses. While access to treatment has greatly increased, less than half of those in need are receiving it. And for every person put on treatment, two to three more become infected with HIV.
“We’ve come a long way on treatment and we’re seeing some advances in prevention,” says amfAR Chairman Kenneth Cole. “But we’re not yet where we need to be. We need to find a cure, and that’s where we’re targeting our investments.”
“We’re closer [to a cure] than people think,” says Frost, “and with the right financial investment, we can get there. The real question in my mind is, are we going to find the money to do it?”

Hi! I'm Cecelia Hotzler. I'm an illustrator, graphic designer, and Minnesotan currently living and working in Iowa. I graduated from the University of Northern Iowa in the spring of 2017 with a degree in graphic design.
I spend a lot of my free time working on items for my Etsy shop, Toastless. I create a variety of hand-made items from felt ornaments to paintings of hotdogs. My best-selling item is my weird, but cute, little plush bread toys. It's always a great feeling to sell something I've made!
When I'm not working or creating new weird things for my Etsy shop, you can find me at the local Wendy's snacking on some nuggets*, hanging out with my dog Kevin or 20+ pound cat River, biking, building my dream life on the Sims, or watching The Office for the 10,000th time.
If you'd like to know more or want to get in touch about a project, please feel free to contact me here.

Kenai Business Signs
Kenai is located in the southern portion of the U.S. state of Alaska, on the Kenai Peninsula (predictably). Before Russian settlement, the Kachemak people originally inhabited this area from 1000 B.C., to around 1000 A.D., when they were displaced by the Dena’ina Athabaskan people. The Dena’ina established a village where Kenai would eventually stand. They called it ‘Shk’ituk’t,’ which means ‘where we slide down.’ Russian fur traders arrived in the area in 1741.
There are two competing theories concerning how the town gained its current name. According to the Dena’ina Topical Dictionary by James Kari, Ph.D., which was published in 2007, the name was derived from the local Dena’ina (Tanaina) word ‘ken’ or ‘kena,’ which means ‘flat, meadow, open area with few trees’ base, low ridge.’ “This describes the area along the mouth and portion of the Kenai River near the current City of Kenai.” However, the other theory for how the town got its name argues the Russian fur traders referred to the Dena’ina natives in the area as “Kenaitze”, which is apparently a Russian term for “people of the flats.”
As reported by The Pacific Northwest Quarterly in 1999, “in 1786, Pytor Zaikov built Fort Nikolaevskaia for the Lebedev-Lastochkin Company on the site of modern Kenai.” It was the first European settlement on the Alaskan mainland. In 1797, hostilities between these invaders and the natives bubbled over and the Dena’ina attacked Fort St. Nicholas. In a cataclysmic event later known as ‘The Battle of Kenai,’ over one hundred people (both Russians and Dena’ina) lost their lives.
Following the Alaska Purchase, the United States Army established a post called Fort Kenay in 1869. It was soon abandoned. In 1888, though, a prospector named Alexander King discovered gold on the Kenai Peninsula. The population, of course, soared. Despite all this excitement, the town of Kenai, Alaska wouldn’t be officially incorporated until May 10th, 1960. According to a 2010 report by the U.S. Census Bureau, Kenai, Alaska has a total of 7,100 residents. This makes it the 7th most populous city in the state.
Arguably the most iconic natural landmark in the Kenai, Alaska area is Mount Redoubt, or Redoubt Volcano. As one could expect, Redoubt Volcano is an active stratovolcano in the largely volcanic Aleutian Range. Mount Redoubt is located at the head of the Chigmit Mountains subrange in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. Redoubt has an elevation of 10,197 ft. (3,108 m).
The most prominent man-made landmark in the town of Kenai, Alaska must most assuredly be Holy Assumption of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church. Holy Assumption is a Russian Orthodox church listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. This U.S. National Historic Landmark, which was completed in 1896, is still a member of the Orthodox Church in America Diocese of Alaska and is the oldest standing Orthodox church in Alaska.
Kenai, Alaska is home to no professional sports franchises. However, in 1985, “a world record largest sport-caught Chinook (or ‘king’) salmon was taken from the Kenai River, weighing in at 97 lbs 4 oz.” In fact, “eight of the ten largest king salmons caught in the world have come from the…river.” As one could guess, this has made Kenai a prime fishing destination.
Kenai, Alaska also has musical connections as well. 36 Crazyfists, an Alaskan-based metal band named after a Jackie Chan movie, has a guitarist, Steve Holt (seriously), who is a Kenai native. 36 Crazyfists even has a song named after the town, describing happy memories made there.

AUSTIN, Texas – The Canadian corporation behind the Keystone XL pipeline, is using provisions in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) to recover more than $15 billion in damages from the U.S.
Stephen Kretzmann, executive director with Oil Change International, says the move underlines the threats trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) pose to the nation’s ability to combat climate change.
He says since at least 75 percent of remaining fossil fuels need to stay in the ground to meet goals set in Paris, deals that favor corporate bottom lines make it harder for governments to stand up to powerful companies.
“We are giving those entities rights and the ability to trump those government decisions,” says Kretzmann. “Or at least, extract ridiculous amounts of money in return for decisions they don’t like.”
Kretzmann notes TransCanada’s claim will be decided by a tribunal of three lawyers who are allowed to rotate between acting as judges and advocates for the investors launching cases. He says under the so-called “investor-state dispute settlement” rules, the tribunal has the power to order the U.S. to pay for preparation costs and projected profits.
According to the Sierra Club, TransCanada’s action is part of a rising trend. The group cites a U.S. company’s request for compensation from Canadian taxpayers after a moratorium on fracking in Quebec, and Chevron’s petition to keep from paying for damaging Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest. Kretzmann says so far, trade deals have fallen short of their promises.
“But the reality is, as we’ve seen from NAFTA, jobs leave the United States and there are not adequate environmental and consumer protections,” he says. “The only winners are the corporate backers of these trade deals, at the end of the day.”
Kretzmann adds since NAFTA only covers trade with Canada and Mexico, the TPP deal with 11 Pacific Rim countries could expose the U.S. to claims from more than 9,000 additional foreign-owned firms.

Wine Review for the Malbec Merlot ...
- France | South West France
- 85% Malbec - 15% Merlot
- Atlantic Ocean
Description for the Cahors Malbec ...
The parcels of fruit for the Les Petit Clos Triguedina were sourced from the Estates vineyards and carefully selected by winegrower Jean Baldes, responsible for the introduction of the first stainless steel vat in AC Cahors in 1976, Jean is now in charge of the Estate and in 1999 increased and modernised the cellars with the introduction of 600 French oak barrels and produces all using traditional methods.
Tasting Note from Fairley's Wines | 2014 ...
The blend appears ruby red with lashings of red spiced fruit on the nose. The palate is full and silky soft with ripe plum, raspberry and dark dried cherry fruit, pepper and violet, finishing rich with even more red fruits. An excellent red that needs some time to breathe and would be best served with steak, strong cheese and game. | <urn:uuid:0fd28fb4-610e-4535-94f8-c2277472d7b7> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.fairleys-wines.co.uk/wines/france/les-petit-clos-triguedina-malbec | 2018-05-21T20:39:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864544.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521200606-20180521220606-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.911478 | 211 | [

Well-Bilt Industries, Inc., a Linden, New Jersey company, has been meeting the metalworking and fabrication needs of its customers for more than 20 years. Well-Bilt, founded by President Les Zalewski, performs metal stamping, fabricating and assembly with CNC turning, milling precision machining and cold saw cutting. The ten-employee company generates annual sales of $570,000.
In July 2001, NJMEP set up a QV Assessment after following up on a prior field agent visit to Well-Bilt. The company was looking to improve its sales and marketing efforts and results, particularly in the area of lead generation. On the recommendation of NJMEP’s field agent, Well-Bilt decided to create a company website as a low-cost means of generating sales leads. With this goal in mind, NJMEP and third-party resource New Millennium Associates set out to design and host a website for Well-Bilt Industries.
The field agent scheduled and coordinated the undertaking from inception to completion. The tasks included participation in photo sessions of company products and content development for the site. New Millennium Associates, NJMEP and President Zalewski maintained close contact, constantly communicating over the four-month duration of the project, to present Well-Bilt in the best possible light.
“NJMEP and its resource, New Millennium Associates, were very professional and knowledgeable,” assessed Zalewski. “They helped us every step of the way in developing and launching our new web site on a timely basis.
“Since the economic slowdown several years ago, Well-Bilt has had to be resourceful when it comes to generating new business,” Zalewski explained. “The website that NJMEP delivered gave us another resource to help us grow. Business has been rough for the past three to four years,” the company president continued. “Since implementing the website, our sales have started to increase again and we believe we can attribute at least some of that success to the website.”
Summarized Zalewski, “We were very satisfied with the website that NJMEP delivered. We would be glad to utilize their resources again in the future if the right opportunity arises. | <urn:uuid:ae8a942c-91bb-4ac0-937a-f71cfd238d57> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.njmep.org/blog/success_stories/njmep-helps-well-bilt-bolster-sales-and-marketing/ | 2018-05-21T20:51:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864544.25/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521200606-20180521220606-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.961724 | 470 | [

Custom scented shampoo and conditioner
Todays tip is to have beautifully scented shampoo and conditioner with which to wash your hair.
And by that, I don't mean expensive.
I mean something that you love, whether it's Green Apple, Peach, Coconut, Berry, Lemon, Honeysuckle, Frangipani, Jasmine, or something else.
An easy way of having shampoo and conditioner that is scented exactly the way you like it, is to buy unscented shampoo and conditioner from a health food supplier, or online, like this...
...remembering that the more you buy the cheaper it is, so find a friend who wants some luxury in their life too, and go halves :)
You can buy the most divine essential oils online with which to scent your shampoo and conditioner, and my current favourite is either Jasmine or Frangipani and those in a shampoo and conditioner....to die for.
Decant it into glorious embellished bottles (being careful with glass in wet areas of course!), and see if it doesn't make you feel like a Princess.

Within the ideology of our University, an important place is occupied by the formation of social awareness in our students , employees and in general, anyone who comes to our institution.
The Department of Social Commitment UP was originally launched 9 years ago. Since then, we have worked to continue and strengthen the work of social service coordinators in the University.
We promote long-term social welfare projects for vulnerable society members.
We want students to see " Social Service " as not just a "requirement " that all must meet, but as a life-long commitment.
We invite you to participate in any of the projects we organize or to propose a new way to influence society

- To be a leading university that actively participates with viable proposals for the solution of social problems, along with government institutions, the private sector and civil society. To have students engaged with society and the neediest people, willing to help giving time and expertise in solving specific problems. To encourage in students responsible conviction to help-according to their capabilities-the needy: orphans, street children, drug addicts, alcoholics, the elderly, people with disabilities, people in poverty, loneliness or other social problems.

5 problems with internet dating dating a climber
Today, nearly half of the public knows someone who uses online dating or who has met a spouse or partner via online dating – and attitudes toward online dating have grown progressively more positive.
To be sure, many people remain puzzled that someone would want to find a romantic partner online – 23% of Americans agree with the statement that “people who use online dating sites are desperate” – but in general it is much more culturally acceptable than it was a decade ago.
You may still get a raised eyebrow when telling people you are using the internet for your search for the perfect date, but no where close to the reaction you would have gotten years ago.
Internet dating has gained popularity by leaps and bounds, and unfortunately, so have the dangers and horror stories some have encountered.
Believe the internet dating companies and it’s all sweetness and light, with wedding bells ringing in the distance; believe the media scare stories and it’s all lying, cheating, perverted social misfits. Fortunately, now there’s enough research to suggest what’s really going on. | <urn:uuid:f0d5096c-4c08-45d2-9040-2043fc3be0d1> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://xb-plus.ru/5-problems-with-internet-dating-17757.html | 2018-05-25T20:09:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867217.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525200131-20180525220131-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.959603 | 232 | [

FedEx Civil Rights Groundbreaking Verdict
Christopher B. Dolan, received a $60,000,000 verdict against FedEx
The $50 million punitive damage award came in the second phase of the trial and was based on a finding that FedEx Ground and Shoun acted with oppression and malice in the treatment of the plaintiffs. The Jury held the individual manager liable for $1 million in emotional distress damages and $56.00 in punitive damages after the plaintiffs’ counsel asked the jury to teach him a lesson through compassion in the punitive damage phase and hold the company liable for the damage. The total verdict was $61,000,056. (Alameda County Superior Court Case No . 841208-9.)
Christopher B Dolan, Esq., of the Dolan Law Firm, San Francisco, counsel for the plaintiffs, stated, “This is a significant statement by the jury, 12 Americans, that harassment of Arabs will not be tolerated. In this day and age, where Arabs are being targeted for harassment and discrimination based on the stereotypes projected by our government and the media, it was a brave statement by this jury, after hearing all the evidence, that this conduct will not be tolerated in a decent law abiding society.”
Following the jury’s award, the plaintiffs said, “We thank God that the jury stood up to the giant Federal Express and made a statement that we count, that we have rights, and that we should not be forced to work under conditions where we are treated as less than human.”
California law provides that individuals who engage in harassment can be held personally liable as well in addition to the employer being held liable when the employer knows or should have known and fails to act to prevent or stop the harassment.
An individual who has suffered unlawful conduct, inc California, in violation of their rights under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (such as discrimination and or harassment based on membership in a protected classification) must file a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), generally within one year of the conduct (there are limited exceptions in some cases) or they may lose their right to pursue legal action for this conduct.

I HATE GOD!
What has God ever done for me? I've never killed anyone. I've never raped anyone. I've never robbed a bank or stolen a car. Yeah ' I've hurt a few people, but they hurt me first! They deserve what they got!
You've hurt me, God, from the day I was born. I had no father or mother to raise me. I went from foster home to foster home as though I was just a cheap piece of rubbish. No one ever really loved me. Sandy was the only one who ever really loved me, and you let her get cancer and die on me. God, I hate you so much.
You even let Molly get ran over by a car. Remember that, God? Molly was my friend's pet dog, and Molly loved me more than she loved Sam, her owner. Molly would come over and beg me to pet her and play with her. She was the only one I could really talk to. She was the only one I could really trust. She never turned her back on me like everyone else has. And you let her get run over God. You took my only true friend, and I hate you for that too!
Remember that time my mom called me and asked if I would meet her at that restaurant? She wanted to see what I looked like all grown up. I waited there at that restaurant, God, but mom never showed up. She never ever even called back to tell me what happened. I prayed and asked you to have her call me and tell me why she never showed up, but you wouldn't even have her do that!
Sandy and me were good together, God. She had been hurt her whole life just like me. She understood me, and I understood her. We had plans to marry as soon as we could get some money together. When I held her in my arms, I felt like nothing else in the world mattered. My hurt would go away and her's would go away too. You took that away from me God, and I'll hate you forever for taking her away from me. Why did you have to let her die?
I used to dream that she would come to me at night. I swear I could hear her in my room sometimes, calling my name, after she died. I prayed and asked you to let me see her, but you wouldn't even let me see her, even though I begged you to. I could feel her there sometimes ' I know she was there beside me ' but you wouldn't let me see her. You are so cruel, God.
Look at the mess this world is in? People killing people over nothing. People strung out on drugs and killing each other for it. What kind of God are you to make people do things like this? Babies starving in other countries and disease is killing people like no tomorrow. People killing people because of their hatred over religious beliefs and people blowing themselves up thinking that you are going to reward them in heaven for it? This is crazy, God, and I think you are crazy too. You're crazy, God, that's what you are ' mad crazy!
And remember that time I went into that church to talk to you? I really wanted to know if you really are real, or people just believe in you because they need something to believe in. I gave you a chance to prove to me that you are real, and nothing happened. I even got down on my knees and asked you to somehow show me you are real, and nothing happened. Nothing! I don't think you are real, even. If you were, you would answer me right now. Are you a coward, God, or just think you're too important to let me know you are real or not?
Yet I want you to be real so you can know how much I hurt. I want you to hurt just like I hurt. I want you to hurt worse! I don't deserve to hurt this way. Why did you let me be born in the first place? Just to hurt like this? You are so cruel and mean.
Religious nuts say you died on a cross for my sins. They claim you even rose again and went to heaven after you died. Well, if that is so, why didn't you let Sandy come back to life? Those religious nuts claim you healed people before you died ' why didn't you heal Sandy before she died? She asked you to heal her, but you didn't. I don't think you healed nobody. I don't think you even died. I don't think you even existed. You're just a fairytale lie some religious nuts have come up with so they can get money out of poor people. That's what I think.
So you going to send me to hell for hating you, God? How can hell be any worse than the hell I've lived my whole life? I don't want to live anymore, God. I want to get it all over with because I'm tired of hurting. I'm tired of the pain. I want you to hurt like I'm hurting God. You don't even care if I hurt, do you God?
My child 'if you could only see the tears I've shed for you since your birth, and multitudes like you. If you could only know how much my heart really aches when people start hating me as much as you hate me. If you really knew '
My child ' don't you think I knew the heartache you were going to experience before I allowed you to even be born? Do you think I delighted in knowing the hurt and pain you were going to experience during your lifetime? You are so wrong if you think I delight in such pain.
Don't you think I'm aware of how much evil is on the earth? Do you think I'm blind to it? Do you think I'm going to allow evil to continue forever? No I'm not. I have a plan in motion to take care of evil, and I have promised the people of earth in the holy scriptures that I will execute that plan exactly the way I planned it from the beginning. Stop listening to what others think about the bible, and read it for yourself. Find out for yourself what my plan is to cleanse earth of the evil you see around you.
Do you realize I gave you a choice to hate me? To love me? To believe in me or not believe in me? Why would you think I gave you that free choice? Because I wanted to make you miserable? Would you have wanted me to make you a robot, and program you to believe what I, your creator, wanted you to only believe? That's not love. That is control. That would be every bit as evil as any other evil is. True love allows others to believe what they want to believe, not control what they believe.
Suppose I had healed Sandy's cancer. Would that have caused you to stop hating me? I can tell you it would not have. You have hated me from your childhood because you did not have your birth parents to raise you. You worship hate, if the truth be known. Hate is your god, and you don't even realize it. You demand your right to hate me, and I have given you that right ' that choice. You are given the right to hate me for all eternity, and life doesn't end after you die. It continues forever. I cannot lie either ' if you carry your hate into eternity, there will be no changing it. It will only intensify as will the hurt and pain it brings.
Many have surrendered their hate to me and you can too, if you only will make the decision to do so before you die. I can perform a miracle in you that you can't comprehend right now. I can cause all your hate to die and put an appreciation for life in you that is beyond your wildest comprehension. You will begin to understand things like you've never understood them before. You will begin to treasure talking to me and trusting me to work things out in your life like you've never known before. I am not lying. I am a miracle working God, because I'm God. Yet I will never force you or anyone else to stop hating me. I will not force you to love me. I have given you the right - the power - to continue hating me, or start loving me.
You'll never learn to truly love me until you allow me to begin to help you understand what my Son accomplished for you on the cross. I realize you don't want to hear this, but everyone will be judged according to how they responded to my Son dying on the cross for their sins. That was decreed before the foundation of the world. I would be lying to tell you otherwise, and lying is never love.
Are you afraid to love me, or is it just more enjoyable to hate me than love me? I reveal myself to those who want to love me and please me, not hate me. I have feelings too -- please know that.
The choice is yours, my child. I already know what my choice is. I want to think joyous thoughts about you every moment through eternity. I want you to allow me to transform you into a miracle creation beyond anything you can possibly imagine. I want to set you free from hate and fill you with love for your creator. When you pass from this life to the next, I desire that you look forward to seeing me face to face with eager expectation ' not shaking your fist at me and venting more anger and hate. What pleasure will that bring me? What joy for any amount of time will that bring you, when you realize that I will not have anyone in my kingdom who hates me. Those who pass into the next life hating me will go to a kingdom where hate is their ruler. If only you would believe how much I do not want you, or anyone else, to go to that kingdom. You have no idea what anguish of soul is until you are there in that kingdom. I desire to have you in my kingdom, where there is joy forevermore and anguish cannot be.
Please, my child, turn from you anger and hate ' before it is too late. Please.
Editorial Note: The above document is of an anonymous origin. Nevertheless, we feel to make it available on the website because it communicates the conflict some may have ... or have had ... with God. Our purpose in publishing it is not to make people upset or even more angry with God than what they already are. Counselors have found that some people have so much pain inside them from life that if they don't have an opportunity to share it with someone ... it can take a great toll on the mental as well as physical health of a person.
If you want to write us and share how much you hate God, please be encouraged to do so. In so doing, it may have a therapeutic effect after you have done so. Hate is commonly thought to be the most poisonous emotion we can have, and the sooner a person finds an outlet for that emotion (other than purposely harming someone else in the process), the better off that person will most likely be, both in living with themselves, and in their association with others they are in contact with.
There is a testimony we've been privileged to publish that I would highly recommend you consider reading. It may give you some insight into suffering that you've never given much thought to: http://www.precious-testimonies.com/Hope_Encouragement/p-t/ReynoldsSteven.htm

Fairfax Media has reported a net profit of $83.9 million for the 2017 financial year.
It’s a turnaround from last year’s $772.6 million loss, when Fairfax wrote down the value of its newspaper mastheads by $989 million.
The market reacted positively to the result and a short time ago Fairfax shares were up more than 1%.
Fairfax detailed plans to spin out its real estate-listing website Domain in the 2018 financial year. Domain will be separately listed on the ASX and Fairfax expects it to begin trading in November.
The company plans to retain 60% of Domain, with the remaining 40% distributed to Fairfax shareholders.
Total revenues dipped by 4.8% to $1.7 billion but underlying profit increased by 7.6% to $142.6 million.
Fairfax chief executive Greg Hywood said the results demonstrate that Fairfax is in great shape.
“The strategy we commenced five years ago has successfully maximised cash flows of our publishing assets and with that built growth businesses in Domain and Stan,” Hywood said.
“Fairfax will act decisively and appropriately – always in the best interests of shareholders – to take advantage of any opportunities created by the potential changes in media ownership legislation, as well as any opportunities to work more productively as an industry,” he said. | <urn:uuid:67b6cb59-8acf-4019-a8b5-a3665e783885> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.businessinsider.com.au/fairfax-shares-rise-as-the-company-says-its-back-in-the-black-2017-8 | 2018-05-27T21:50:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870470.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527205925-20180527225925-00236.warc.gz | en | 0.968002 | 280 | [

First came texting.. or sms. Then came a slew of other chat platforms like BBM, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Snap, and not to mention the messaging functions in other apps like Instagram. I thought it was downright ridiculous what Facebook paid for Whatsapp considering that they could’ve bought all of Blackberry, including Blackberry’s BBM platform and security IP for a fraction of the price. I could see a shift away from sms but considering that 99% of my texts were just brief text messages, all the added functionality on the newer platforms were lost on me.
The craze over Snapchat also seemed rather ridiculous. The novelty of sending nudes that would auto-delete wore off pretty quickly when people remembered you could still take a screen shot, but the platform persisted. I think I eventually figured out why Snapchat was so popular, and it’s rather interesting. When pictures auto-delete, they don’t take up space on your phone, meaning you can send them frivolously. A picture is worth a thousand words so a facial expression along with a text is a far richer message than just the text. It’s also a bit of a game with all the added functionality of filters that continue to push the boundaries of augmented reality. Effectively, it’s a superior mode of communication to classic texting and like with most things.. the kids are all over it while the old people are complaining about how they don’t understand kids these days.
So what’s the winning recipe? Especially when you have such well established heavy-weights dominating the industry? Simple solve the two most relevant problems. Give them a centralized messaging platform and take an opensource approach to the development of add-ons and other features.
A central messaging platform would allow you to receive messages from all the other messaging platforms, features in tact. The opensource approach to feature development and add-ons would effectively give the platform to the people, letting them continually develop what they wanted for it. Almost a democratic approach to its evolution.
Anyone already using more than one platform would likely to gravitate to a centralized messaging hub. Knowing that the hub maintains the features of all other major platforms, you wouldn’t even need to have the app on your phone after adding your account. Keeping the feature development in the hands of the users would also ensure that the platform would always remain current.
Texting is like a utility. Sending brief messages from person to person has become standard mode of communication and the technology is readily available. Make it secure, make it quick, and have a rich set of continually updated features. One and two are the responsibility of the business, number three are for the people. I see a few other businesses who have pulled this off, and many more who might benefit by taking a closer look. | <urn:uuid:dcf581c5-cfcb-47d6-94f6-23fb6fd8a2b9> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://mymentalmodel.com/2017/11/17/business-ideas-the-next-great-chat-platform/ | 2018-05-21T22:35:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864558.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521220041-20180522000041-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.96429 | 579 | [

I have been on methotrexate for nearly five years and it has kept my psoriasis in check. I have lab work every month and lots of readings have been abnormal, either high or low. The dermatologist suddenly said, "Who is taking care of your liver?" I responded, "You are." He suddenly and unexpectedly took me off methotrexate and all future labs. He said to see him only as needed. Now it seems like I am floundering alone. Can you tell me what is going on and what I should do?
This sounds like a frustrating situation as you describe it. Psoriasis patients need doctors who are interested in helping treat this chronic condition and managing potential complications. Methotrexate, as you point out, is an effective therapy for psoriasis and it can be used safely with appropriate monitoring and follow-up.
There are plenty of side effects from methotrexate and one of the main concerns for patients on this drug is liver toxicity. Methotrexate can cause inflammation of the liver that can be seen in routine lab monitoring. There are many things that can cause a temporary elevation in liver tests and an isolated elevation in liver enzymes is not a major concern if it quickly returns to and stays normal.
A more sinister effect of methotrexate is its ability to cause permanent scarring of the liver (cirrhosis) even in the absence of abnormal lab tests. It is reasonable to see a liver specialist or gastrointestinal doctor after a cumulative dose of 3 or 4 grams (approximately 3.5 years at an average dose of 15 mg per week) or so to be evaluated for a potential liver biopsy. | <urn:uuid:ca434c19-1e86-46ee-88e7-3da7a089037f> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.everydayhealth.com/psoriasis/specialists/lousy-liver-scared-off-my-psoriasis-doctor.aspx | 2018-05-22T23:20:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864999.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522225116-20180523005116-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.957338 | 342 | [

GONDWANA NATIONAL CHOIRS
Established by Lyn Williams in 1997, Gondwana National Choirs are truly national ensembles whose members come from throughout Australia and range in age from 10 – 26. They are the children of dairy farmers and miners, teachers and doctors, engineers, office workers and musicians. They perform music that is close to their hearts: new Australian works which capture the mystery and grandeur of our land and display the cultural diversity of the Australian people. The work of the choirs is a powerful expression of the determination of young Australians to work together to create extraordinary musical ensembles.
They form every January for intensive training and performances across 4 or 5 vocal ensembles with leading national and international conductors at the Gondwana National Choral School, which includes programs for developing composers and conductors. The sound of Gondwana National Choirs’ ensembles is vibrant and energetic, indicative of their intensive rehearsal process and the joy of being together.
NATIONAL CHORAL SCHOOL

- dslr camera
- set your camera up on you're tripod where you will be shooting. this will work in any lighting ranging from completley dark to dusk.
- change your camera's settings to S mode (for shutter speed).
- change your shutter speed to 5 seconds. however, you may find that yours works better when set to 3 or 4 seconds. just mess around with it to see what works best.
- light your sparkler and create designs in the air that you want to be captured.
- if you want to write words, write them backwards, and if you don't want the word to be in cursive, you'll need one person for each letter (you'll still need to write each letter backwards).

Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 7, 2006
http://www.toprankresults.com – Search marketing expert, Lee Odden, President of TopRank Online Marketing, will be speaking at the upcoming WebmasterWorld Pubcon conference in Boston, April 18 – 20, 2006.
Odden will outline how the integration of online public relations tactics with blog marketing and search engine optimization can deliver a distinct advantage to marketers who desire to build high brand awareness and increased sales online.
Traditional public relations initiatives can improve results significantly by leveraging online exposure opportunities. For example, many pitching efforts are lacking impact because they don’t take into account the fact that press releases are documents that can get indexed and ranked by search engines. Press releases that are optimized effectively can improve media coverage and also assist search engine rankings.
Business blogs can be very effective tools for communicating with prospects, clients and journalists. Blogs are also inherently search engine friendly and when properly optimized, can provide a significant boost to a web site’s search engine rankings.
“Companies can gain a competitive marketing advantage by integrating search engine optimization with tactics such as press releases and blog marketing,” said Lee Odden. “The marketing synergy created by integrating SEO, blogs and press release optimization provides a tremendous advantage over traditional PR by itself.”
Lee is joined on the panel by David McInnis, founder and CEO of PRWeb, an industry leading news wire service, Robin Liss, Founder and President of Camcorderinfo.com and Lawrence Coburn, President of RateItAll, Inc.
Join Lee Odden and his distinguished colleagues at WebmasterWorld Pubcon 2006 to find out more information on how integrating SEO, blogs and online PR can have a positive impact on increasing prospect inquiries, sales and online brand visibility

Monday Morning Musings: Reflections on Thee "Official" Memorial Day
The photograph posted above, which was taken in the northwest corner of my urban terrace garden, features a few of my Roses — mugging a shot of my Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary), is quite apropos for this blog posting, because today is "officially" Memorial Day, and roses are often laid at graves, while Rosmarinus officinalis, is the herb that signifies remembrance (as discussed in a prior posting on this blog which you may read by clicking here).
In my blog entry this past Saturday, I wrote about the fact that the 30th of May, was initially set aside for observing Memorial Day, and, I pointed out that it is now celebrated on the last Monday in May, which this year is indeed May 30th. However, next year, Memorial Day, will be celebrated on May 28th 2012, which may bring back the perhaps much needed rhetoric to help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of this solemn day. Details about these efforts can be found by clicking here.
As a child, I was very sensitive to the solemnity of Memorial Day, having had a father who served in the war, and, therefore, I was thrilled at the prospect to be able to participate in the Memorial Day Parade which marched down Main Street in my hometown. My being allowed to participate in the parade was due to the fact that I was a Brownie, and my troop, because of our service to the community, had been invited to join the commemoration of the solemn day.
My accounting of that experience is the following vignette extrapolated from my book, which tells about the consequences of growing up with legal blindness and Neurofibromatosis in the context of the 1960s and 1970s. It is written in a child's voice. (This book was referred to in a previous post which you may refer to by clicking here.)
This is the vignette: "Because I am nearly seven years old, I'm able to join the local Brownie troop. I like my pale brown scout uniform and dark-chocolate-colored cap with an orange design of a Brownie printed on it. Once at a troop meeting I made a papier-mâché puppet and gave it to the Children's Hospital in Chicago. I wanted to give it to them because, after watching President Kennedy's speech at the beginning of this year and hearing his words, 'Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country,' I wanted to do something.
"Soon after hearing the speech and sending in my puppet, I was notified that my puppet had been chosen to be on The Lee Philip Show, a program that airs during the daytime. The news of my being chosen seems to worry my mother as she expresses to me that she thinks the other children who created puppets will be upset that their handmade toys were not selected. I had thought she'd be pleased for me, but sometimes she acts like it is wrong to succeed.
"I have a lot of badges for arts and crafts and am excited about marching in the Memorial Day Parade. After I put on the sash with all the badges I earned, my mother comes into my room with a yellow cardigan sweater and says I must wear it so I don't catch cold. Maybe she thinks it is wrong that I have so many badges and wants me to cover them. Still, I point out to her that it is a nice sunny day and that I am unlikely to get sick by not wearing a sweater. Unfortunately she won't listen. Instead, she shouts at me, insisting that if i want to march in the parade, I have to wear it. I want to cry because my badges won't show if I wear the sweater. For a moment, I daydream about arriving at the parade and setting the sweater on a bench. Then, I imagine marching down Main Street, with people ooh-ing and ah-ing at my badges. In the end though, I wear the dumb sweater because my mother is a troop leader, She will be marching too and I don't want her to hit me. All the girls in my troop laugh at me as we get ready for the procession. They mock me saying that I am a big baby because I have to wear a sweater.
"The next morning my mother wakes me up at six o'clock. She is holding a small, round gray suitcase and tells me that I have to go to the hospital to get my tonsils removed.'The operation is the reason I had you wear a sweater in the parade,' she tells me. Even though there had been no clouds in the sky and the temperature had been over eighty degrees yesterday morning, my mother insists that she, 'hadn't wanted me to catch a chill because the procedure would've been canceled.'
"I realize that she meant well, but I still think she should have told me about the operation before the parade so I could have explained why I had to wear the sweater to the girls in the troop. They probably would have thought I was cool. Instead, they said I was baby.
"As we pack my suitcase for me to take to the hospital, my mother tells me that she needs to stay home with my sisters, so it is my father who takes me to the hospital. When I arrive, I notice that the girl in my room has one of the plant holders that I had made in a Brownie meeting. It is sitting on her nightstand, and I want to tell her that I made it, but I am afraid that my father will think I'm bragging.
"The next thing I remember is waking up in a room of bright lights with people standing around wearing aqua-colored clothes. When I sit up, a nurse pushes me back down on the operating table, screams at me, saying that I woke up too soon. I open my mouth to apologize, but instead, I throw up blood."
I admit dear reader, that this might be TMI for a blog entry, but on the other hand, I hope it gives voice to those who had a similar experience either as a child wanting so much to be accepted, or gives consolation to a mother trying to make the right choices. Upon reflection, it looks like I was more interested in having folks who watched the parade see my badges than I was in being reverent to the solemn day, a consequence of being almost seven years old, I suppose.
Nonetheless, war, and the despair that it invoked, was a big part of my life. I was in high school in the 1970s, and I suppose some of my peers feared being drafted to serve in the Vietnam War. I say "suppose" because I did not share my feelings about anything with anyone during those years, but, I do recall having a crush on Hamil Miller, a fellow student in Creative Writing class who wrote the following piece of fiction about the Vietnam War.
"The shrill sound of the buzzer signified the end of the basketball game. It also meant that our high school had won its final game of the season. The locker room was like a mad house. Everybody was jumping up and down and hugging each other. Having won was especially great for me and a few other members of the team, because we were the seniors and it was our last game together.
"Two of my friends who felt the same way as I about having won were Paul and Steve, We did everything together. So joining the army all at the same time seemed very logical to us. In fact just joining the army seemed very logical since the United States was involved with Vietnam.
"All three of us had always been Gung-Ho about the Army. There had never been a doubt in my mind that we would all join upon graduating from high school. I remember that we used to make fun of long-haired or even short-haired kids at school when they would march in war moratoriums. It just never occurred to us to think if war was right or wrong. I can now admit that my friends and I were what is commonly known as jocks. A jock is a term applied to people that are Gung-Ho about anything and everything whether it is right or wrong. I find it very easy to call myself and my friends jocks. I think it fits our actions perfectly. It's just a shame that my friends cannot be here today to experience my realization. Both of my friends are dead now. Friends that I did everything with as a kid. They were killed in Vietnam.
"Paul was killed by an enemy he never saw or knew. He stepped on a booby trap which blew him apart. Steve was shot through the head while climbing from a helicopter to invade a small village which came back under Communist control the very next day.
"I am a bit luckier than my late friends or am I? I have been laid up in a hospital bed for six months now and am missing only half of my intestinal tract. My injury being due to a hot piece of shrapnel that came screaming into my stomach. I wonder if it would have been better to have been killed with my friends than to feel this great bitterness I have. At least if I had died I would not know that they and many others had died fighting a senseless war which does not even threaten our own shores.
"Yes, my friends and I went to war under false pretenses. We thought that it would be a simple game. War is a game — a game that cost lives to play. The lives are usually spent by very narrow minded men behind desks. I know now as most men that men that go off to war expecting a game to be simply played, that there are no locker room celebrations."
Hamil Miller, the author of this essay, died in a horrific car crash soon after turning in his assignment. Hamil Miller was a high school senior (and I was a high school sophomore at the time). Hamil was the object of many school-girl "crushes" — including one from yours truly. Our devastated Creative Writing teacher, in an effort to console us students, mimeographed copies of Hamil's last essay, and this essay, along with my P.O.W. Bracelet bearing the name Major Ernest Olds (which I wrote about this past Saturday), are the only things I've kept from those school girl days.
I have kept the P.O.W. Bracelet because of my reverence to the cause, and, I've kept the essay because I had thought it would be nice to write about it one day, and now I finally am; on this solemn day, when we not only honor those who lost their lives in war, but, also recall all of those deeply affected by the devastation of war. Therefore, dear reader, once again, I will recall a José Narosky's quote mentioned in my Veterans Day blog entry, "In war, there are no unwounded soldiers." | <urn:uuid:5ec68cf1-6774-4c20-a67f-bcbc060182e5> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.thelastleafgardener.com/2011/05/monday-morning-musings-reflections-on.html | 2018-05-26T23:22:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867949.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526225551-20180527005551-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.988709 | 2,280 | [

Topics of discussion include Janeane’s own experience with crazy right-wing protesters, Wanda Sykes, censorship, and being an anti-war voice in the mainstream media. Though she’s a proud liberal, Janeane also has a few harsh words for Barack Obama about his timidity in prosecuting Bush officials for war crimes, and his abandonment of the gay community.
Upcoming guests on Citizen Radio include: Howard Zinn, Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, and Jeremy Scahill.

Kilstein: What does the word “liberal” mean?
The word liberal is, A: Something to be very proud of, and it is the finest traditions of democracy in this country and any other. In fact, without liberalism, or liberal thinking, we would have none of the things politicians brag about that we have in this country from public schools to public services to social services to voting rights, civil rights, any of these things. That’s from liberal thinking.
Now, about 30 - 35-years ago, right-wingers got it into their mind that they need to make this into a pejorative; they need to turn it into an accusation because all of the social justice issues, all of the empathy that comes along with liberalism flies in the face of Conservative principles, or what Conservative principles have turned into. [Liberal values] are a real obstacle for Conservatism. If people were proud to be liberal - if people utilized the tenants of liberalism, or if it was something that politicians could run on then Conservatism would be completely dead.
Now, it is obviously something that politicians should be proud to call themselves. But because most politicians are cowards, they back down to any bullying no matter how tame the bullying. So now, a large majority of Democrats, and a large majority of political advisers, and media talking heads, are loathe to use the word. Why? Because they’re cowards.
Kilkenny: Why do you think they’re cowards?
Because they’ve been bullied by a right-winger saying - or a moderate, even - saying that you can’t win on it - you can’t run on it. It’s not something that’s good to be. A coward responds to bullying especially in the marketplace of ideas. It’s one thing to back down to someone punching you in the face repeatedly. It’s another thing to back down to somebody using political spin.
So when a news anchor - and I use the word “news” loosely - says something like, ‘Is so-and-so too liberal?’ What the answer should be is ‘that would be a great thing if he, or she, was.’ But no, there’s no people that we could qualify as too liberal anywhere near the halls of power in this country.
Kilstein: [Would Democrats benefit from defining what liberalism means to the public instead of empowering the Republicans by running from the word?]
You’re exactly right. Running from - it’s Joe McCarthy. That stuff has to be nipped in the bud. The average person - the average John and Jane Q. Public tend not to want to rock the boat. That’s unfortunately part of the human condition in any era, in any country. That’s just part of the human conditions, especially if you’re married with children. The last thing you want to do, usually, is rock the boat.
Now, it shouldn’t be considered boat-rocking to tell the truth, to stand up for the truth. Again, “liberal” is something to be proud of. And by the way, and P.S., we’re all socialist. We all are participants of social security, and like I said, the public school system, the public railways, the fire department. When you flush the toilet, do you like it when your poo goes away? Guess what? We’re socialist.
A lot of people don’t even know what Socialism means. They don’t know what liberalism really means. And again, if you want to break it down to basic components, what is a liberal? It means you believe in social justice, gender equality, human rights, it means you care about other people, and about yourself, and about society, and your place in it.
These are all very simple things to be. It takes participating in your own life, but also if most politicians were really, really rugged individualists, or really able to stand up for themselves, and make a good accounting of themselves, they wouldn’t be as high up in the echelons of the people we’re talking about as they are. You have to compromise a hell of a lot along the way to get to the top.
Most journalists, and again I’m using the word very loosely, should not be anywhere near that business. Most of the talking heads, most of the people that calls themselves news anchors, or journalists, should turn in their press cards because they’re not qualified, they don’t have any integrity, they don’t give a shit, basically. So that feeds into this. It’s semantics. It’s all semantics.
Kilkenny/Kilstein: [Journalists are also close to the people who are in power. There's a lot of cronyism in the mainstream media, and they seem preoccupied with maintaining their access to people in power.]
Yeah, a lot of peer pressure. A lot of bad editorial policy. A lot of who’s popular - who’s in, who’s out. It’s like high school…It’s always been that way. If you’re a really good journalist like Amy Goodman, you’re not in the front row [of a White House press conference.] It’s no different than any other crappy high school situation. It’s John Hughes or Cameron Crowe. It’s whatever description of high school peer pressure, or who’s in or who’s out in rock-n’-roll, or who’s in or who’s out in your junior high class. These are still the same high school schmucks who are just grown older, and they’re Twittering each other in the White House press corps. It’s just a bunch of nerds, or bullies, or both. They’re still human beings, and they have all those flaws of human beings.
What politics does shine a big light on is human frailty. I think what Conservatism has shined a light on, also, is human frailty. What does it mean to be a Conservative or a Republican anymore? I’m not quite sure, but it clearly shows you’ve got a lot of frailty. You’ve got a lot of flaws. Now, you’re arrogant as fuck about that, and you’re belligerent, and you have very little self-awareness.
What does it mean to be the type of journalist who kowtows to a Conservative? What does it mean to the type of politician who kowtows to a Conservative? These are all character flaws. It is one big character flaw. And because the truly good movers and shakers we don’t hear about or see very much ’cause you can’t get much done if you’re in the mainstream — You know, until the human condition is perfect, this is going to be an imperfect system.
Kilstein: [And the press tends to mock outsiders like Dennis Kunich so they become a joke.]
Mock and marginalize, yeah. [And they're only a joke] to some. They have to mock Kucinich, right? Because if they don’t, they have to admit what they’re not doing. You have to admit Kucinich is right. Failing that — because they have very little integrity, a lot of these people — they’ve got to mock him. And they’ve got to make George McGovern look like a bozo. Years ago, Emma Goldman: mocked and marginalized, Margaret Sanger: mocked and marginalized.
…Our shitty media is not new. It’s just that you guys are experiencing it now more than before. But it’s always been shit. The mainstream media has always been shit. It is not in the business of delivering news. It is not in the business of informing the electorate. That is not what it does, and if you keep expecting it to do that, you’ll get your heart broken every time.
Luckily, though, we have many more options than our parents or our grandparents. That’s a very good thing. But if we still keep looking to the networks, and the cables, to give us satisfaction — except for MSNBC, occasionally, and PBS, and a lot of good radio out there, and a lot of good political writing if — you’ve got to do your homework. That’s what I meant by ‘it takes work to become a good citizen.’ It takes work to be a good liberal. It takes work to be a good Democrat. And there’s a lot of weak Democrats, but thank God there are some good Democrats.
Kilstein: [Most Americans don't have time to seek out that independent news.]
I agree with you. Most people don’t have time — the time that the three of us have. Plus, we have interest in it, and a lot of people don’t have an interest in it. But I’m sick of that “dumb Americans” rap. I’ve travelled enough to know there are smart people and dumb people everywhere. It’s just easy to point the finger at America, and unfortunately our mainstream media makes it easier. But I’m sick of that “dumb Americans” because as you may or may not discover, anywhere you go you will find lunkheads anywhere.
But what can you do if you don’t have time? Take thirty minutes that you can spread out throughout the day. Download DemocracyNow.org’s news headlines in the morning, print it out, put it in your bag. Get to it throughout the day. If you have the ability to leave the radio on in the background throughout the day, do that. Subscribe to Mother Jones. Subscribe to The Nation. Subscribe to The Progressive. Put it in your backpack. Read it when you can.
People make time for flossing their teeth, they make time for working out, they make time for all kinds of wasteful things on the computer. Taking care of your brain muscle is more important than taking care of a lot of other muscles in your body. It’s the main muscle.
Look for a news source that is not for profit. You look for a news source where there’s no gain for the people in it, like [Democracy Now's] Amy Goodman. She barely makes enough money to live, and she’s beholden to no corporate entity. That’s how I know she’s not lying to me…She does it because she’s compelled to do so. And I know she’s not lying to me. I know she cares about her own life as much as other people’s lives, and she’s a good citizen.
…Order books online. Get a library card. Get a public library card, and read books that you can carry with you at all times so you can get to it when you get to it. But always have a book on you because you never know when nothing is going to happen. Always have a book on you.
Kilkenny: Define “feminism,” and what it means to you.
Feminism and liberalism are the same to me. Feminism, to me, means that you believe in gender equality and social justice issues. Same thing. It’s just that gender equality is something that some people may leave out sometimes. Sometimes, I don’t think people see women’s rights and gay rights as human rights. They seem to ghettoize it as some strange thing, but it’s human rights. I think feminism sort of puts a finer point on that sometimes…If you’re a good liberal, you’re a feminist, and vice versa. So they’re the same thing to me.
Kilstein: [Do you see MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow as the left's version of FOX's Bill O'Reilly, and do you think that the news is becoming ghettoized?]
First of all, [Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow] aren’t counter to Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly. [Hannity and O'Reilly] are professional liars. Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann are not liars. Don’t put them as two sides to the same coin. They’re not.FOX News, and their ilk, and their apologists are in the business of disinforming the electorate whether it be for Rupert Murdoch or Pepsi Co, or Monsanto.
Secondly, if you want to call liberal “telling the truth,” good. You do that. I’m proud to have that. That’s fine. There isn’t two sides to every story. It’s not spin, what Rachel Maddow is doing. It’s not spin, what Keith Olbermann is doing. It’s not spin, what Amy Goodman, or Bill Moyers — they are telling you the truth.
Now, does MSNBC break it up into little half hour shows that reflect a similar time span that FOX does for their shows? Yeah, but they’re not the same thing. They’re not doing the same thing. And you know what? I don’t give a shit that Keith Olbermann doesn’t “debate.” There isn’t two sides to every single story. There is a thing called absolute truth. Now, I don’t always love that Keith has the same five people on, and they go, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah’ but you know what? It’s his show, and when you have your show, you’ll do it your way.
But I’ve had enough of listening to whatever we call the other side, which is the lie.
Kilkenny: But Amy Goodman and Bill Moyers are very different than Olbermann and Maddow, two pundits on corporate news channels. So Olbermann and Maddow don’t have the same journalistic freedom as Goodman or Moyers.
Right, but Rachel’s not a liar. Ultimately. I hear what you’re saying, but Rachel will never lie to us. If she accidentally gives us misinformation, then she’s been misinformed because she works hard to get to the bottom of it.
Kilstein: [And Maddow did recently called out GE on something, even though GE owns MSNBC]
If you keep your ratings up, you can do whatever the fuck you want. GE doesn’t give a shit. It’s self-censoring. If there are journalists or reporters, who decide to not call out certain things, that’s self-censoring because if they have the ratings, they can do whatever they want.
Then, if somebody steps in and gives them an even harder time, then hopefully they’ll tell anybody who will listen about it, and shame the person into leaving them alone. The way David Letterman would always do. The more GE tried to censor him, the worse it got for GE. I think that you might be creating a problem in your own mind where there need not be one.
A lot of time, people say [about shows like Olbermann's and Maddow's], ‘Oh, just preach to the converted.’ First of all — if it was indeed preaching, which it is not — it’s giving information. Second, what’s wrong with giving information to the converted? Then shut down every church, then shut down every organization, every rotary club, every club you’ve ever joined, every book club you’ve ever been to where like-minded people get together and share ideas.
What I would say the only problem is that mainstream media is still wired for Republicans. It still tends to serve the message of the Republicans, first and foremost, and it tends to never give a Democrat the benefit of the doubt. Whereas Republicans get away with murder — literally. Literally. George [W.] Bush has to destroy the fucking world to get some criticism. And Democrats can’t do jack shit.
Kilstein: [That was demonstrated in the treatment of John Kerry as a pussy during the 2004 Presidential season.]
The media kept feeding into it. Again I want to go back to…the type of people on these buses, and in the press corps, who want access are the pussies. They’re not very good at their job…They’re lazy!
Kilstein: [Does money or popularity and ratings influence the media more? Right now, Obama is popular, so clearly it isn't just popularity and ratings driving the media coverage because they're being critical of liberal values. Is it driven more by money?]
[Republicans] still have more money and clout. It’s been 30 years in the making. After Watergate went down, there was a concerted effort in the think tanks on the right to make sure that there’s not gonna be a lot of Woodwards and Bernsteins running around. And when Dick Cheney, and [Donald] Rumsfeld, and those guys came in with Gerald Ford, and they had this mantra ‘Never Again,’ they didn’t mean a scandal. They meant transparency.
And there has been so much money and time and energy put in to counteract the ’60s, and counteracting the change of the tenor of the country after Watergate…This has been a project in the making, and it’s highly successful because people are easily bullied. Think about in terms if a network gets five angry e-mails from an angry right-winger. They will respond as if 500,000 people - even though they have no idea how much the other people love it. Networks will run and turn tail in two seconds on a sitcom or on a comedy thing. Look at what Wanda Sykes is having to endure. Look at what happened to [Jamie Kilstein] and I with this Ken Pittman nonsense. And last night we did a comedy show, and they had to hire extra security because — what — maybe two assholes called the club last night?
Kilstein: I did a show in Ohio and there were a thousand people in the theater — a thousand people — and 50 people left, and the comedy tour that they booked me on isn’t allowed back. And it’s like, 950 people stayed.
Because bullies make a lot of noise, and if you’ve got a person who’s susceptible to that crap — a lot of people are very weak. A lot of people are very weak.
Kilkenny: I feel like this is a larger theme, though, where Republicans are always saying we have to sacrifice our freedom for more security. Would you rather sacrifice your security for more freedom? Meaning, when they say there might be a threat to America out there, should we always constantly be on the offense, and seek them out, and Ken Pittman may have two little cronies come out and shout during your show, should we have extra “security” in case that happens?
I think you’re conflating two unrelated issues. Are you talking about Ken Pittman or are you talking about terrorism?
Kilkenny: Well, it has to do with security.
It’s not an either, or. You don’t have to give up anything to have more security. You really don’t. If somebody’s doing their job right, and if the government and CIA, and all these hundreds and hundreds of people, whose job it is to work on these national security issues — if they are doing their jobs really well, and if they’re doing the best they can ’cause nobody can do everything, then hopefully you don’t need all this take-off-your-shoes at the airport, and all of this stuff that means nothing anyway at the end of the day. It’s an empty gesture.
Secondly, you’ll never really stop a really determined terrorist. I think a really determined terrorist is going to get you, or a building — whatever they want to do. It doesn’t matter. Now, having said that, when it comes to the ridiculous Ken Pittman nonsense, that is all peer theater for him. He just wanted to get on FOX. He’s a real loser. Like, he’s a real loser. You can see it when you met him…listen to his show. He’s a real low-level schmuck, who wanted to get on-
Kilkenny: [And him aside, there are always these asshole Republicans that will threaten you -- threaten Wanda [Sykes] — and I feel like it’s much more important that you two have the freedom to say whatever you want]
But see, we’re not shooting off our mouth either. They get mad over nothing. Wanda Sykes told a joke. It’s fine. People pretend to get angry. Then the mainstream media pretends people are angry. The average Jon, Jane Q. Public, in the same way they don’t have time to look at the news, they don’t give a shit.
Kilstein: There was a rare, brilliant, honest moment on CNN where Wolf Blitzer had some Democratic strategist in, and Wolf goes, ‘Do you think the joke went too far?’ and the guy goes, ‘Wolf, I saw you laughing!’
Oh thank God! And what did Wolf say?
Kilstein: He just laughed!
See?! That’s what I mean! Going back to what we said: people have to start telling the truth and this will all stop. It will all stop. If more and more people sit in the pundit chair, if you will, and say there’s no story here, let’s stop wasting people’s time; no, there’s no story here. Or say, you infantilize us all by bringing that up. Why are you using these lazy talking points? If people started saying that, or just in the genre of “Wolf, you were laughing,” it ends! It ends right there!
And Keith Olbermann should be ashamed of himself for picking on Wanda Sykes. That was absurd. I love Keith Olbermann, but that was bullshit. And it’s lazy. And Wanda Sykes did nothing wrong, and as soon as people start admitting that, it all goes away…Now, the reason Ken Pittman, who’s probably the only guy who’s mad — we’re literally talking about tens of people here, who pretend to be angry.
Kilstein: I believe everyone in that theater stood up at the end of the show [in Boston where Janeane and Jamie performed during the non-protest led by Ken Pittman] — standing ovation. They were quite happy.
Well, not even that. [The audience] didn’t even know what we were talking about when we complain about the tea-baggers.
Kilstein: That was the funniest part. I was on stage and I had one tea-bagger stab, and I was like ‘Yeah! The place is gonna go nuts!’ I heard one person - I heard [Rob] Riggle laugh in the back, and Allison.
Marc [Maron] kept bringing it up, and it slowly dawned on me that [the audience] doesn’t know what we’re talking about. And that’s what I mean. To you and I, it felt personal because we got ambushed, and then they put it on FOX, and it was on MSNBC, and then for me — like last night, when [the owner of the club] came in and said, ‘We got phone calls.’ Now, that could be one phone call. But people overreact.
Kilstein: It also sucks because it’s like who are you hurting? You’re hurting the scared receptionist. You’re hurting the guy who had to come in and do security. You’re going after comics.
…First of all, they’re not well-informed. Your average right-winger is completely disinformed, and their life is not working. Somehow, something’s wrong. You can’t be a happy, well-adjusted person and be a right-winger. You just can’t. It’s mutually exclusive.
Secondly, you do realize that if they’re not picking on a comic or something, they got nothing. They got nothing. It goes back to — and I’m going to say Republican and Conservative, they call themselves that. They’re not, but they call themselves that, but to be a modern day Republican or Conservative — to be a George [W.] Bush type of Republican or Conservative, to be a [Sean] Hannity type — it’s a character flaw. It’s a character flaw. Or it could also be neurological. I’m not joking at all. Limbic brain: seed of your emotion. Something’s not working, whether it’s your private life or your literal neuroanatomy, something is not working.
Kilstein: When I find myself describing [Conservatism ideology,] I feel like I’m using elementary school rhetoric where I’m like, ‘It’s just fucking mean.’
Kilkenny: It’s selfish. It’s an ideology of selfishness.
Yes, it is.
Kilkenny: You don’t take care of each other, you don’t help the weak –
It’s all about your own.
Kilkenny: Right, “rugged individualism” except when you need help, and then you look to the government.
It’s bootstraps. Bootstraps for people born with great boots and stretchy boot strings, you know what I mean? Really easy bootstraps. All of that stuff — it’s not even relevant because the Conservatism that we thought maybe Barry Goldwater was, or whatever, that doesn’t exist anymore. It is, I think, a neurological issue.
It’s also the part now — big tent party — for racists, or sexists, for homophobes, for closet queens. Whatever, again, is wrong with you. Because a tent full of hate has elastic walls, so it’s a very big tent.
Kilstein: [So what do you make of this talk about bipartisanship and pragmatism where we can't go for Bush official prosecutions because we need Republican votes for healthcare?]
It’s such bullshit. It’s classic just like we gotta pardon Richard Nixon, we can’t prosecute. It’s classic fucking cowardice bullshit, and Obama lets us all down. It’s crap. And you know, if it’s one of those things where they’re protecting some Democrats too — let’s say there’s some Democrats in on the torture thing — then they gotta go down, too. You gotta bring those Democrats down, too. It is fucking political crap. There is no excuse for it.
Now, do I think we need to see pictures — us — on the news? No. But do I think war criminals needs to be prosecuted? Yes. I do not believe that it is in anyone’s interest to see more naked pyramids. I don’t feel like it will do anything but tear us all apart again. Or tear America’s fragile reputation further asunder. But I do think that [the photos] should be in the courts, adjudicated through the courts, the pictures should be shown in the courts. I don’t think anywhere is not aware of what these photos look like. And they will be — if they haven’t been already — leaked, some of them. But I do think it’s illegal what [Obama] is doing, not perusing [the prosecution of Bush officials' crimes].
And this bipartisanship? Fuck it. Bullshit. You cannot bring a tennis racket to a baseball game. These Republicans — again, they call themselves that — now, there may be a handful of moderate Republicans, I’ve heard of them, I think it’s a wonderful idea, it’s adorable. I think it’s like a unicorn. There is no such thing as bipartisanship that’s going to work with the Republican party anymore, or the Conservative movement. They have shown us over the last 30 years that they are not interested in it. They are not willing to do it. They have never reached across the aisle in the last ten years, and Obama does the nation a disservice for trying to be a nice guy about this, and for showing weakness there. I think it’s weak. There’s no reason to think they’ll be pragmatism or bipartisanship from this current incarnation of this Republican party.
Kilkenny: What first inspired you to become politically active? You talk about this a little in your act that your family is not in the same vein as you.
They’re all Republicans. I was always interested in — I was a History major at school. I always had an interest in politics and media. And then in my stand-up — you know, from when I started it enters in, in the way it enters in because it’s part of the fabric of your life. You know, little bits here and there.
But what got me motivated was the stolen election of 2000. Sam Seder and I watched those returns come in, and watched the tragedy unfold and the miscarriage of justice when Antonin Scalia installed [Bush]. And it just got me very, very upset, and more interested in learning about the electoral process, and this, that, and the other.
Then, 9/11 happened and I started volunteering at this warehouse that was providing clean clothes and uncontaminated things to first-responders. And even at the beginning there, right off the bat, they were being — the first-responders were being not given full information on their health care and the toxins — right off the bat.
And then Afghanistan happened, and I was concerned. I mean, I didn’t know enough to know that it was gonna be pulled off so badly, and then I heard about a group called Peaceful Tomorrows that was against [the] Afghanistan [war], which was a very rare, rare thing. And a lot of these were 9/11 families.
Then, of course when Iraq started ramping up. Then it really, really, really did, and I started getting involved — hearing about Air America, and wanting to get involved.
But why did I get involved as a public face of it? Not because I wanted to, believe me. Not because I wanted to. I was asked to by Robert Greenwald, who is the director of Outfoxed, and WALMART, the Wal-mart movie. He had directed me in [Steal This Movie,] a movie about Abbie Hoffman’s life, so I was friends with him. And he had gotten in touch with me a couple times saying, look we are having a great deal of difficulty getting anybody booked on these shows — on these news shows — to speak out against the war, who are actually involved in the military and involved in the government because the assholes, who work at these networks, will only book an actor.
Now, there’s a couple reasons for that: A) They think it’s gonna make for more interesting TV, but mostly it’s to mock and marginalize the anti-war position. They want to put people from the military, from the Pentagon, from the CIA for the pro-war position, and then opposite that, here’s this person from that TV show…so that you, as a viewer, go, ‘Ew! I’m for the war!’
If you flip-flop that, say you had people from the Pentagon — there’s plenty of them from the CIA, Pentagon, who were against Iraq, believe me there were plenty of them…This is way back in 2000. The former head of [the United Nations Special Commission, UNSCOM] was trying to get on to say that they were lying about Iraq. If you had all those people that people could respect against this war, and the only people for it were Bruce Willis and Chuck Norris, what would the public idea be? “EW!” It’s an editorial process, it’s rigged from the beginning, but if the “actor” won’t go on, nobody will say anything, you know what I mean? That’s your only option.
So Robert Greenwald asked myself, and Tim Robbins, and Mike Farrell, and others that I’m forgetting their names now, but don’t mean that disrespectfully. And he said, look, it’s gonna be bad. It’s gonna be bad, but we have to do this, and I didn’t want to do it because I was scared, and I also thought if I’m the person speaking, no one’s gonna listen. And I knew it would be bad. I had no idea how many assholes are out there. I had no idea what was gonna come.
Kilkenny: So what were the immediate ramifications of doing that?
Immediate castigation. Immediate posting of my address and phone number on things like redstate.com. The amount of death threats and hate mail coming in was so much that I had to hire a security person to go through it. And not just coming to me, but they would print where my manger’s office, and phone number, and agent. I had a development deal at ABC at the time — that was printed, who to get in touch with there. That deal was dropped, luckily though because that sitcom sucked. Tour gigs were cancelled…This is hatemail and death threats coming from citizens because you’re trying to tell them that their government is lying to them. I had no idea how fucking stupid and mean that many people could be.
Now, granted, the majority were always very supportive. The majority of citizens I would run into even at that time were very nice at the street level and stuff like that. But the majority of cowards I met in my own peer group — my own family — in my own fellow comedians…I heard a story, I don’t know if this is true — secondhand — that Dennis Miller (just being one) and a couple of other comedians called my manager, Dave Rath, and said, ‘You’ve got to get Janeane off TV, man, she’s embarrassing herself. That’s really unpatriotic.’ And then Dave won’t tell me who some of the other names are. You would be shocked at how many cowards you know in your own peer group, who A) Wouldn’t take a stand, and B) Blindly supported this thing.
A lot of my friendships have not recovered because I got no respect — no respect — for the way they acted, especially at the height of the death threats and the mocking, and FOX News on a regular basis shitting on me, or morning drive guys just shitting on me. And then the glee that Bill O’Reilly would say, ‘And she can’t get a job!’ and ‘She lost her old job!’ And that my own friends, who could have given me a job just to say in their face ‘bullshit, we’re gonna hire her to do this,’ who didn’t.
It really separates the chaff from the wheat in times of war, if you will. You really learn who’s really awesome. And then I got the same thing on the other side. I learned who the great people are. Sean Penn called. Woody Harrelson called. And I’m not just saying that because they’re actors. They called just to say keep it up the good work, I know what it’s like, we’re getting it too. And then just friends from high school, who I hadn’t talked to in years [called] to say the same thing.
So I have to say that the majority of people were great. But the people who were cowards, it’s ridiculous and stupid.
[Kilstein: A lot of those people who were angry with you may have now lost someone in the wars, and all you were saying is that you didn't want people to die.]
Not just die, but I don’t want to be lied to. I don’t want to be fucking lied to, and I don’t like being treated like a chump. And I don’t want to have to pay for this. Literally. Our culture and society will be paying for this for years, years, years, years, years. Not just with money. Emotionally. All the [soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSDs]. All the marriages that will fall apart. All the children that will go unparented. All the social ramifications of this. And then some people spent that time to write hate mail to the Dixie Chicks, or spent that time shitting on peace activists, who stood alone with a sign in the rain in Washington Square Park.
[Kilstein: I think the most heartbreaking example of that is how Cindy Sheehan became a late show punchline.]
It’s embarrassing. And it’s not just this country. It’s human nature. Until human nature is cleansed of frailty, we will always have this. It’s gonna happen again. People thought it couldn’t happen after Vietnam, we couldn’t be lied to like that again, this, that, and the other. It will happen again. Give it time.
[Kilstein: That's the power of reading. I think the majority of people are good, and once they have that knowledge, they'd find it difficult not to act.]
Well, also, what’s the point of living an unexamined life? What is the point? There’s a phrase I just heard recently: If you don’t do politics, politics do you. And it’s true. It’s am more interesting way to live your life, to actually pay attention.
Now, granted, there are a million things going on that we don’t know about, never will know about, and just the scams that we know about are the ones we know about. We’ll never know about a million others that go on behind our backs, and the people that are really in charge we’ll never see their face, we’ll never know their names — the people that really pull the strings, internationally and domestically. We’ve never met them. We’ll never see them.
[Kilstein: Atheists always get a bad rap for being heathens, but do you think religion actually harms humanity because it places the burden of caring for people on God instead of on society?]
It’s not mutually exclusive. You can have God and you can have eternity. Agnosticism is playing it safe in a way, meaning you don’t know whether there is or there isn’t. It’s Pascal’s Wager. You’re gonna hedge your bets that there might be [a God] so that I can go to heaven.
But just because there’s a heaven, and there’s another life beyond that may be a paradise, if you will, doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to help others. Saying that God has a plan is a way to let yourself off the hook. It’s just a way to let yourself off the hook. Also, it’s a way to deal with universal contingency. Universal contingency means that anything can happen at any time. That’s a little too much for some people. It’s too random. If you think about it, we live — say we’re on 23rd street here in New York [City]. Now, what prevents any of us from dying any day from just an idle toss of a rock out a window? Every single day on the streets of Manhattan, how is it that more of us aren’t getting clocked on the head? Think about just children playing. Just think about an accident — an air conditioner falling off [a window sill].
…Now, how to some people deal with that fear? …God. You go, ‘God would not allow me, and my children, to be hit on the head by a rock that somebody else threw. That’s not a part of God’s plan.’ Or, if something happens and that’s how your friend dies, it’s so awful you gotta say, ‘That must have been God’s plan.’ Because that’s the only way to get through it.
Now, I personally don’t have a religion that makes me think that way. I just feel like bad things happen sometimes, good things happen sometimes, nobody’s special enough to avoid that. And that’s just the way it is. I also don’t fear death. I don’t fear mortality…I don’t remember what it was like in my mind before I exited my mother’s womb. I was presentient. There was nothing. There was no consciousness. Then I exited my mother’s womb, and there was consciousness. When I die, I will be post-sentient. There will be no more consciousness. I’m not gonna miss it. I didn’t miss pre-womb, right? I’m not gonna miss post-womb.
…How I deal with my anxieties is through science, or I try to learn about something. Or I just get eaten up by anxiety…Because of God’s plan, I don’t think the homeless thing fits into that because I don’t think people walk past homeless people and think, ‘God has a plan for that homeless guy.’ They either do or don’t give him a dollar, or a quarter.
Kilkenny: Or they blame the homeless person.
Or they blame the homeless person. That’s what a Conservative does. A Conservative blames a homeless person themselves. That’s Conservatism in a nutshell.
[Kilstein: I wonder if they use that anger as a defense mechanism.]
It’s a defense mechanism! It is a defense mechanism against having to feel. Now, I don’t know whether they feel bad or not, but it’s a defense mechanism against having to feel. You just accuse the victim of being somehow responsible for their plight.
…Are some homeless people responsible for their plight? Sure. I don’t know, though. See, I can’t say…until I know for sure. And I don’t always give homeless people money — at all — by any stretch of the imagination. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. If a person has a dog or child, I always do because I feel sorry for the dog or the child. But I’m sure plenty of homeless people have gotten themselves into a hell of a mess, but them I’m sure there’s just as many — if not more — who have nothing to do with getting into that mess.
[Kilstein: You're credited with being one of the founders of alternative comedy.]
I’m not. There’s always been “alternative comedy.” It’s just a journalistic construct. I don’t know what alt comedy means. It’s something that happened — this is my recollection of what happened — when Nirvana broke and alt music became what it was called (it used to be called college radio when I was younger,) then it called alt radio, or alt rock. At the time, some journalists started doing articles about some stand-up [comics] in the early ’90s, who were doing stand-up shows that were not in comedy clubs proper, and they were titled alternative comedians.
It just so happened that a couple of the articles were written — that I was included in more than one article. I don’t know what it means. What it means to me is a comedian who is not writing jokes, per say, punchline, punchline, punchline, bang, bang, bang. They’re more of a storyteller, if you will…What they tell is true for the most part, embellished for humorous purposes, but true. It’s a more thoughtful approach to the medium of stand-up comedy. A lot of people use it as a pejorative. A lot of people resent the title, and they’re like, ‘Aw, all that means alt comedy is that they’re not funny’ like I’ve heard people say that all the time. Or ‘they can’t write jokes,’ or blah, blah, blah.
But I certainly didn’t coin the phrase. I certainly didn’t invent it. It was popular in the 1960s, and early ’70s.
[Kilstein: It seems like alt comedy is doing very well right now like with Patton Oswalt and the Comedians of Comedy selling out massive rock clubs.]
Not me. They’re doing much more than me…I can’t count myself among the hot, new– like Tim and Eric and Patton [Oswalt], and Zach Galifianakis, and Mike Birbiglia. These people have — are even more alt. It’s a web presence. They’ve used a whole new medium in a new way whereas in the early ’90s, there were comics who wanted to go outside of the comedy club proper, and they wanted to do shows in venues that were not for comedy traditionally. Now, what’s happening is it’s a whole new wave of comedians who are using new technology to build huge followings. I am not selling out huge venues, and I’m not saying that in a way like ‘[Wah, wah] I’m not selling out huge venues,’ you do me too much credit to put me in the same category as those guys you were mentioning.
Kilstein: What would you say to a comic who is trying to do something different and isn’t getting work in mainstream clubs?
In this current stand-up comedy world that we live in, it’s not like the ’80s and early to mid-’90s where there were so many open mikes, so many venues to do stand-up, so many places to do it that even if you weren’t getting any time in the mainstream clubs, there were places you could get time.
I would say, now, expand your web presence. You post and post, you do whatever it takes to get people to start — whether it be a Youtube video, or you start your own night somewhere. And that’s where you will get time. You will ask a proprietor of some venue, ‘Can I have Tuesday nights? You can have the door.’
Kilstein: Books, music, or comedians that have inspired you to be you.
Howard Zinn books have inspired me to learn about the official story for history. He has been instrumental in me wanting to get more involved in my own history, and the stories that are told to me. And also his biography, You Can’t [Be Neutral] On A Moving Train, that you can’t. That is literally true. And a biography I just read — that I just finished — has been so inspirational to me, Sean Penn’s biography, the authorized biography of Sean Penn. Fascinating and inspirational. I couldn’t put it down. You’ve got to read it. Fantastic.
Music that has inspired me? I don’t know if it’s inspired me to be me, but during the Riot Grrrl era — and I don’t blame those ladies for hating and loathing that term — I’m so sorry, but that DIY girl band era was really inspiring, and also magazines likeBust and Bitch . And Punk Planet, the late Punk Planet…Magazines like Found inspire me in strange ways. SCTV [Second Ciy Television] inspired me unbelievably. SCTV as a kid, Woody Allen as a kid, Albert Brooks when I got older, and George Carlin really, really inspired me, the late Bill Hicks, Paula Poundstone. And then as I got older, more of my contemporaries: Mr. Show with Bob and David, David Cross, Bob Odenkirk, and Zach Galifianakis, and Patton Oswalt, and Jamie Kilstein.
Kilkenny: What makes you happy?
Dog-walking. I love walking my dog. When people that I admire, I get to meet them, and they’re as wonderful as I could have ever imagined. Reading makes me very happy, but when I get into a bum book — because I feel obligated to finish it, and so I hate getting stuck in a mediocre book…I will skim…I have to finish it, but then I will not consciously really, really read it anymore. But I do feel obligated to go to the end. Oh, it ruins my day ’cause I know almost immediately I’m in a lemon…by the end of the first chapter, I’ll know this writing style — and a lot of the time with fiction — I love reading fiction.
As much as I love reading factual books, I enjoy more than anything a great fictional read, and I love collections of short stories, and I also love Victorian era novels — just love them. And you must read Pride and Prejudice with Zombies, which just came out. It’s a retelling of Pride and Prejudice with zombies. I loved it so much. It’s just a great fictional fluff read, but you’ll enjoy it. It’ll put a little spring in your step. | <urn:uuid:b3fe510b-3387-4ed6-af5b-b745750843fc> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://whitelightblacklight.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html | 2018-05-27T23:25:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870497.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527225404-20180528005404-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.960782 | 11,028 | [

Debate on Shiite TV Channel: The Jews Are Responsible for the Two World Wars, the Holocaust Was a Response to Their Actions
In a TV debate on political developments in the Middle East, the Lebanese guests expressed antisemitic views, with Omar Abd Al-Rahman Al-Ayubi, an expert on Islamic affairs, saying that the Jews "are the enemies of the Muslims and of all humanity" and that they had killed prophets and "do not abide by any treaty or agreement." Another guest on the show, Sheikh Bilal Saeed Shaaban, head of the Islamic Tawheed Movement, said: "People talk about the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews, but what Hitler did was in response to their actions." He further said that they were "responsible for tens of millions killed in the two world wars," that they regulate and control "the moral crises caused by the media, by drugs, by weapons, and by war," and that Tel Aviv "does not suffer from a single bomb or suicide attack" because it "orchestrates all the destruction in the region." The debate aired on December 12, 2017, on Thaqalayn TV, a Shiite channel with offices in Qom, Tehran, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq, the Netherlands, and Egypt, according to a statement on the channel’s website.
Omar Abd Al-Rahman Al-Ayubi: "The Jewish people had clashes with the prophets in the past. They killed some prophets, and they also violated agreements with the prophets and the Muslims in Medina. The Jews are 'the strongest among people in enmity to the believers,' as is written in the Quran. They are the enemies of the Muslims and of all humanity. The Jews have perpetrated many massacres in the course of history, and they do not abide by any treaty or agreement. Therefore, what happened in the (20th) century – the occupation of Palestine – was in the context of enmity toward this nation – enmity toward the Arabs, the Muslims, and humanity in general, especially since they gathered many Jewish nationalities, and brought them to Palestine, uprooting an entire people from its land. Therefore, the historical truth is that we have an existential conflict with this people, and with this entity that plundered our land and our holy places."
Bilal Saeed Shaaban: "People talk about the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews, but what Hitler did was in response to their actions. They were responsible for tens of millions killed in the two world wars. Even today, when we talk about the Jews from an economic point of view – they control the arms trade, the drug trade, and the financial markets."
Host: "The media too..."
Bilal Saeed Shaaban: "Right. All the moral crises caused by the media, by drugs, by weapons, and by war are regulated and controlled by them. Uprooting the Zionist entity has become the responsibility of humanity, but Allah has given it to His blessed people.
"Today, we are experiencing ethnic and religious conflicts, and all of our capital cities are exploding. But there is one capital in the Middle East that does not suffer from a single bomb or suicide attack. What capital city is that? It is Tel Aviv, which orchestrates all the destruction in the region." | <urn:uuid:80bb01ca-744b-4e6a-a44d-237e20eee7e2> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.memri.org/tv/shiite-tv-debate-jews-responsible-for-two-world-wars-holocaust-response-to-their-actions/transcript | 2018-05-27T23:19:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870497.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527225404-20180528005404-00596.warc.gz | en | 0.975109 | 679 | [

-We picked a large(ish), lopsided bridal party
-I'm not quite trendy enough for mis-matched bridesmaid dresses (although I am kind of trendy)
-I really, really want the ladies standing up with me to be able to wear their dresses again (or at least like them)
So, we wouldn't be getting bridesmaid dresses from David's Bridal or ModCloth. Where oh where is a bride to turn?
Believe it or not, I first discovered Weddington Way as an ad on Facebook. From the moment Mr. Geek and I changed our relationship status to "engaged", I was being inundated with ads for wedding-related things, and this little site was particularly persistent. Against my better judgement, I clicked on the link and browsed around their website. In their own words,
|above screencaptures from Weddington Way|
So, I started browsing! I filtered by color, price, and length, then clicked through the hundreds of dresses that matched my needs.
|Screencapture from Weddington Way|
|Alfred Sung Styles D461, D502, D447, D448, D520, D524 // via Weddington Way|
I sent an email to my mom and sisters with a list of boutiques within an hour radius of my parents' house that sell Alfred Sung dresses, and asked them to try on these styles, take pictures, and give me honest feedback. If any of these dresses made them say, "Ew, there is no way I would ever in a million years wear this dress, I don't care if you are my sister!" then they would be removed from the list of contenders. Conversely, if any of these dresses made them say, "OMG who cares about a wedding, I want this dress right now to wear whenever I want!!" then they would be given special consideration for the final decision.
So, which dresses survived my sisters' rigorous trial runs?
|Alfred Sung Styles D502, D448, D520, D524 // via Weddington Way|
So, which dress won the voting round? You'll have to tune in next time to find out!
Did you use Weddington Way to shop for bridesmaid dresses? Which of these dresses would you have picked as your favorite if you were in my bridal party? Do you think any of them are worthy of the title "re-wearable"?

(most common name)
The Guelma is one of the original subgroups forming the Brown Atlas. Smaller and less refined, it was sometimes called a Numidian type after the ancient kingdom of Numidia which was located more or less where Algeria is today.
In the past, the Guelma in Algeria consisted of five sub-varieties:
• the Chaouia
• the Cheurfa
• the Guelma (sensu stricto)
• the Kabyle
• the Tunisian
Until recently, the Guelma in Algeria was chiefly used for work. The Cheurfa variety was even exported during the 19th century to Marseille (on the southern shore of France) where it was called ‘bœufs de Bône’. (Bône was another name for the town of Annaba located in what is now the Annaba Province on the northeastern shore of Algeria.) Their coats are grey with darker extremities.
In the past in Tunisia, the Guelma consisted of two sub-varieties:
• the Djerba
• the Kef
The Kef variety was described at one time as being the best indigenous dairy cattle of Tunisia. Kef and Djerba can be dark brown with almost black extremities, or fawn with light-colored legs.
There are not a lot of pure Guelma left in either country due to upgrading with imported breeds; Tunisia started crossbreeding in 1888. However, the Guelma is the most numerous of the seven current varieties of Brown Atlas cattle found in Algeria and neighboring Tunisia.
bœufs de Bône = oxen of Bône

Diablo III game director Jay Wilson has issued a public apology to Diablo and Diablo 2 co-creator and Blizzard North co-founder David Brevik, after telling his Facebook friends to “F**k that loser.”
Wilson has been criticized by both fans and other developers for his reaction to comments made by Brevik about Diablo III. Wilson has now admitted that he was angry when he made the comment and was trying to defend his team. “I want to make it clear that I am very sorry for what I said,” he wrote in a very long post on the Battle.net forums. “I have higher expectations for myself than to express my feelings in such a rash way and disrespect a fellow developer like Dave, someone who deserves to be treated with greater respect.”
As well as apologizing to Brevik, he also had an apology for the game’s players, “You deserve better than my reaction to Dave’s comments. You deserve more honest communication about the game and what we’re doing to make it a more awesome experience for us all. We care about Diablo very much, and appreciate your passion for it. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to do this, and for that I can’t thank you enough.”
You can read his full apology here. | <urn:uuid:0c59784b-e730-4f5b-aca4-fab57b634190> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/diablo-iii-designer-issues-apology-for-attack-on-diablo-creator/ | 2018-05-22T02:44:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864622.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522014949-20180522034949-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.986969 | 277 | [

Visit Chateau de Jumilhac
If you make it to the most north-eastern corner of the Dordogne department, beyond Thiviers, you will find the delightful fairy tale castle of Chateau de Jumilhac.
Jumilhac is found in a picturesque setting very suited to the castle.
The especially noteworthy feature here is the roofs - an extravaganza of towers and turrets that has led Jumilhac to be described as having the most romantic roofs in France. The myriad of turrets are then further enhanced by splendid ironwork and lead creations.
The interior of the building follows much the same romantic theme, and features some ornately decorated rooms.
Chateau de Jumilhac - a little history
The first count of Jumilhac was an alchemist and whilst this was forbidden at the time he left clues of his alchemy in the chateau. These are explained on the guided tour and include clues on the roof itself. On the roof there are three angels, one represents masculine, one feminine and one neutral - these three states are important in alchemy. There is also amongst all the wonderful fairyale round turret roofs a tall chimney-like turret which, along with its position on the roof, looks like the kind used for an alchamists oven.
Parts of the Chateau de Jumilhac date back to the twelth century. It was an important defensive chateau in the 13th century. During its history it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. During the Renaissance period parts of the castle were altered and made much more habitable with large rooms with lots of windows and beautiful wooden floors laid out in patterns. The kitchen has a large selection of copper pans and moulds.
There is also the room in which Louise de Hauteford was imprisoned for thirty years whilst her husband was away fighting. He wanted to make sure she couldnt meet other men whilst he was away. And indeed she had a lover who she communicated with by hiding letters in sewing bobbins - their sole means of communication for thirty years! The room is known as the 'Chambre de la Fileuse' as her spinning wheel was almost her only activity during this time.
The chateau also has attractive terrasses with french style gardens.Continuing the alchemy theme the gardens have been laid out with a 'gold garden' and a 'silver garden'.
If you look out over the town of Jumilhac from one of the balconies of the chateau you can see that this was once also the garden of the chateau - it is laid out along long sweeping avenues. As this land was sold houses have been built along the edges of the existing avenues.
The Chateau de Jumilhac is on the 'Route of Richard the Lionheart'. This route is a line of castles and villages who took advange of Richard going off on crusade to fortify their castles and towns against his return. Jumilhac is also on the 1001 chateaux route.
Some scenes of the film 'Le pacte des Loups' were filmed here and Eugene le Roy a famous French authour (Jacquou le Croquant) was married here.
Near to the Chateau de Jumilhac in an ancient winery there is a small museum dedicated to gold, the Galerie de l'Or. Here you can learn about the gold panning that took place in this area and its uses in money, jewellery etc. It is possible to go panning for gold on the banks of the river l'Isle. Lessons take place twice a week in peak season. Ask at the tourist office for details.

The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) has published new recommendations designed to help health professionals implement approaches to pain management in inflammatory arthritis (IA) and osteoarthritis (OA) patients.
The recommendations were developed by a multidisciplinary task force which included 18 members from 12 countries, who conducted a systematic literature review to evaluate evidence on the efficacy of multiple treatment modalities. From 2,914 studies initially identified, 186 met inclusion criteria.
EULAR has made eight recommendations based on the literature review including guidance that patients should also receive sleep interventions, orthotics, weight management support, and pharmacological and joint-specific pain treatment, if indicated.
Two additional recommendations based on expert opinion address the aspects to consider when assessing a patient and provision of a personalised management plan for patients.
The guidance also emphasises the importance of adopting a patient-centred framework within a biopsychosocial perspective, to have sufficient knowledge of IA and OA pathogenesis, and to be able to differentiate localised and generalised pain.
The recommendations are published in The Annals of Rheumatic Diseases. | <urn:uuid:d06b0860-53c4-4057-a7e8-76ab8696f4b2> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.univadis.co.uk/viewarticle/new-eular-recommendations-on-pain-management-in-arthritis-605419 | 2018-05-23T01:33:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865023.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523004548-20180523024548-00636.warc.gz | en | 0.918475 | 229 | [

Donna Lee Deady, a native Californian who taught elementary school in Silicon Valley for 35 years, passed away May 15 at her retirement home in Florida.
Born in 1935 in Red Bluff, California to Mary and Glenn Tolley, she attended schools in Richmond, California -- graduating from Richmond High School in 1953. She began college but paused her studies to marry her high school sweetheart, Harold “Hal” Deady, in June 1955. They lived for a time in Waco, Texas where he was stationed with the U.S. Air Force. When they returned to California, she completed her studies at Sacramento State College, earning a teaching certificate in elementary education, and later completed extension courses to earn a lifetime credential.
They moved to the Bay Area, where Hal worked in the burgeoning electronics industry and Donna taught fourth and fifth grade at Pomeroy Elementary, and for a time, Laurelwood Elementary in the Santa Clara Unified School District. The couple raised their family there and were active in community and civic organizations. Their activities included the Boy Scouts and Job’s Daughters, supporting their children’s involvement. They also enjoyed playing bridge with friends and extended family.
Since Donna taught U.S. history, summer vacations often involved traveling around the country, gathering materials for her classes. Her children recalled traveling in the family motorhome to historical and cultural sites, making friends along the way. Disneyland was another favorite and frequent destination, and the couple enjoyed many trips to Hawaii as well.
Donna retired from teaching in 2000 and the couple retired to Palm Coast, Florida, where they found a new bridge group and also were members of the Palm Coast Yacht Club. In retirement, they enjoyed boating and additional travel, visiting Europe, China twice and taking several cruises. Both daughters moved to Florida to be nearer their parents, and the family was a frequent visitor to local amusement parks.
Her husband of 58 years predeceased her in 2013, and she is also predeceased by her parents, who passed in 2002.
Donna is survived by her daughters Deidra Anne Deady of Clermont, Florida and Lynnette Audreen Deady of Orlando; her son Mark O’Deady and his wife Peggy Watt, of Bellingham, Washington; granddaughter Moira O’Deady Darone, her spouse Gabrielle and two great-grandchildren, Spencer Glenn Darone and Avery Jude Darone, of San Leandro, California; a brother, Larry Tolley and his wife Beth of Tehachapi, California; and a sister-in-law, Yvonne Deady Reid and her husband, Wayne of Chula Vista, California.
She will be laid to rest next to her husband in Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida on Memorial Day weekend, followed by a celebration of life with extended family and friends. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to the National Park Foundation in her memory.

Dear 100 Hour Board,
So a bunch of my friends and I went to the temple today and were wondering what those little booths at the gate were for. None of us have ever actually seen people in them. So what are they used for? Groundskeepers? Security for late at night?
- Petie the Bird
Those booths used to be used by Temple Security. However, Temple Security is now back inside the temple so the booths go largely unused. | <urn:uuid:434e265f-1f7e-4378-8418-541b3bc65578> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://100hourboard.org/questions/15264/ | 2018-05-25T00:54:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866917.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525004413-20180525024413-00636.warc.gz | en | 0.983999 | 93 | [
