Four Advantages to Using Rickshaws to Advertise Your Business
Pedicabs are bicycle taxis people use to move around town. People not only love them because they’re fun to be in, but also because they’re an eco-friendly form or transport. And as their popularity continues to rise, lots of brand have seen their great potential and are using them for marketing purposes. Pedicabs are a great medium for direct outdoor advertising for a number of reasons. Here’s a look at the reasons they can be of great value in your marketing efforts.
Lower advertising costs
It’s relatively less costly, generally speaking, to advertise on pedicabs than on traditional media such as radio, TV and magazines. The value you get may pay many times over, considering the number of people your advertising will be exposed to. Many local businesses are using rickshaws to market their products or services at an affordable rate and are reaping the rewards. This form of marketing is however not limited to the smaller businesses; big brands like HBO also use them to raise brand awareness among locals. Online companies can also supplement their online marketing efforts with rickshaws as their offline advertising vehicle.
Advertising – My Most Valuable Tips
Greater brand exposure
Practical and Helpful Tips: Advertising
Being a form of mobile advertising, pedicabs will in a given hour expose your brand to as many people as can be reached. As the driver slowly moves from place to place, many people will get to see the branding/advertising on the back and have enough time to read the message clearly. Since the rickshaw will pass close to foot traffic, you can be sure that the visibility will be very high. The more distance the driver cloaks in a day, the greater your brand’s visibility.In a town like San Diego where a lot of people troop into town for various conventions all year round, pedicab advertising can be a great sponsorship opportunity for your business.
Perfect for distributing samples
What better way to have your marketing materials and product samples distributed than using rickshaws? These three-wheeled bicycles will nicely double up as a distribution vehicle when you want to give away product samples to potential customers. If all you need is to distribute pamphlets and brochures, you can be sure they’ll be handed to many people, as the pedicab can cover quite a distance in a day.
Pedicabs are eco-friendly
When you consider that pedicabs are very much a “green” or eco-friendly mode of transport, there is hardly a reason not to like them. So every time you advertise with a pedicab company, you are in a way promoting a clean, sustainable mode of transport. People who like to get around town are likely to create a positive association with your company when they look at the branding on the pedicab. | <urn:uuid:45c37ca3-a89b-4d83-8ba2-77d8b8815f94> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://tzgc.info/a-quick-overlook-of-advertisements-your-cheatsheet.html | 2018-05-21T05:20:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863949.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521043741-20180521063741-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.967818 | 602 | [

So I was good for the last 2 days and including most of the day today and once I got out from work at 4pm I didn't get home till 6 I began to feel agitation set in. I showered and went directly into my bed and my appetite is gone. My bf adds to the agitation at times too and sometimes not. When I feel like this I just look at him and in my head just picture myself just punching him right in his face because just at the thought 💭 I would feel as though I would feel better. I know it's not right so I then try to think of positive thoughts but I can't because the negativity has a stronger pull. When I don't feel like being bothered or even spoken too I'm called ignorant because I just ignore him and really don't respond it's just because I just want to explode and tell him off on how at times how he makes me feel plus a few other things that would just hurt.
But I don't and I'm not the type of person to bite my tongue 👅 but I've learned from past experiences that being mean and saying awful things are hurtful and doesn't really get you anything. I may feel better at first after I let it out but later on I don't feel proud of myself I feel ugly because once said you can't take it back.
I know that I can be very harsh and pretty much a bitch but that because I keep in a lot of pent up anger and emotions that at times I just explode.
Out communication isn't very good at this point in our relationship we are going on 5 years and trying to repair it but I feel like I'm doing most of the work and not getting much back on his part. | <urn:uuid:33703ddb-7f1f-46f7-a5a7-4dcd6742a040> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://healthunlocked.com/anxiety-depression-support/posts/136413750/and-the-down-hill-roller-coaster-has-begun | 2018-05-21T05:46:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863949.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521043741-20180521063741-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.993379 | 354 | [

Life seems to be a spinning cycle of non-stop activity and wonderfulness. While I do enjoy the hustle and bustle, I equally need and enjoy my personal time. I have to admit, though, that taking this personal time has been a struggle for me. Either I literally could not find a free moment to settle down with a little snack and a cup of tea or felt guilty if I did. I am not talking about someone’s leftover breakfast or snack to eat just because it’s there. I’m talking something just for me that I could slow down and savor; something that’s delicious and special.
Disclosure: We are so excited to showcase oui by Yoplait yogurt. Yoplait has been a staple in our home for many years. Although we are being paid for this post, all opinions are our own, as always.
Well, fortunately, I realized I have to take these me moments for my health and well-being, so do treat myself. In the process, I found a friend who is making it easier. Check out these super cute French-style yogurts from Yoplait. I am in love with these Oui yogurts for so many reasons.
- They are real food and you know how important real food is to me.
- They are non-GMO and have no artificial colors or ingredients. NOTHING!
- They are a whole food, which is the cornerstone of my food beliefs. Each little jar starts with just two ingredients; whole milk and cultures. So simple and delicious. For the fruit flavors, real fruits are added. No special fancy way to make it. Each pretty serving is cultured in its own pot for at least eight hours.
- Here’s another important fact. My family is on the green team and we love the glass pots. Not only are they easy to grab and go or enjoy at home for that me moment, but they are recycled glass. Plus, you will have no problem finding a way to use each little jar when you have taken your last scrumptious bite. I have them at my desk as office supply holders, I re-use them in my kitchen, and my husband even has some in his shop.
- While the grab and go feature of these cute yogurts is great, Yoplait has closed the deal for me on their taste. The traditional French-inspired recipe is creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. While the real fruit is on the bottom, I prefer not to mix it and just dig in; no mixing needed. Again, another time saver which allows me to just sit and enjoy each bite, slowly.
- There are so many flavor options. Although I love the Strawberry, Peach, and Black Cherry, there are six other flavors to choose from. I can’t wait to try the Vanilla, Blueberry, Coconut, Lemon, and Plain.
Which flavor will you try first when you slow down and take a me moment?
I am a home cook that does things my way. In my kitchen, I make breakfast, pack lunches, prepare snacks, and cook dinner. During the week, we eat real food that is homemade, organic, and local. On the weekends we do explore more of our local restaurants. I bake my own bread, juice fresh oranges every other day, and make my own kombucha and other weekly favorites. | <urn:uuid:829a8782-9ec8-4fc8-81ed-da6296f13f02> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://momsgoodeats.com/how-to-slow-down-and-savor-me-moments-with-oui/ | 2018-05-21T05:09:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863949.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521043741-20180521063741-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.963968 | 709 | [

EDMONTON – Omar Khadr has agreed to remain in a federal prison — for now.
Lawyers for the former Guantanamo Bay detainee consented Thursday to a stay of a recent decision by the Alberta Court of Appeal that ordered he be transferred to a provincial jail.
But they didn’t waive another part of the decision that ruled he should be serving his sentence in Canada as a youth.
The federal government applied for the stay while it asks the Supreme Court to hear its appeal of the case.
One of Khadr’s lawyers said he plans to soon make an application before a youth court judge for the inmate’s release and doesn’t believe the stay will affect that request.
“Omar Khadr is a wonderful candidate,” Dennis Edney told reporters outside court.
“He should not even be in a prison. He is someone who was a child soldier, who has been denied all types of international protections. He has been abused both by Canada and the United States over many years.”
Khadr pleaded guilty in 2010 to five war-crimes charges, including murder, for killing an American soldier in Afghanistan when he was 15. After spending a decade in Guantanamo Bay, Khadr was sentenced by a U.S. military commission to an additional eight years and shipped to Canada.
He has since said that he only pleaded guilty to the charges to get out of the detention camp.
Khadr was first sent to a maximum security prison in eastern Ontario before he was transferred to Edmonton Institution. Earlier this year, Khadr was reclassified as a medium-security inmate and transferred to Bowden Institution in central Alberta.
His sentence is to expire in 2018.
Khadr first lost his bid for a transfer to a provincial jail last fall.
Court heard that the U.S. commission that sentenced him to eight years made no distinction between youth and adult punishment or between consecutive and concurrent sentences. When Khadr arrived in Canada in 2012, corrections authorities automatically took him into adult custody.
Khadr’s lawyers argued that eight years for crimes including murder only makes sense as youth sentence. And because he’s too old to be in a youth facility, he should be in a provincial jail.
Lawyers for the federal government argued that Khadr’s sentence was eight years as a youth for murder and the sentences on four remaining offences were to be served concurrently as an adult.
A Court of Queen’s Bench judge sided with Ottawa.
But the Court of Appeal unanimously ruled last week that the lower court judge was wrong.
Lawyer Nathan Whitling has said the decision gives his client a new avenue to apply for release. Rather than appearing before the Parole Board of Canada, Khadr can ask a youth court judge to allow him to serve the rest of his sentence in the community.
Whitling wouldn’t say when Khadr might apply.
He told court Thursday that Khadr is willing to stay at the Bowden prison because he is doing well there with his programs and corrections plan. And if he was to move to a provincial jail, “he doesn’t know where he’d end up.” | <urn:uuid:43047af3-7a7c-481c-9433-968d36352483> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.macleans.ca/news/need-to-know/omar-khadr-agrees-to-stay-in-alberta-prison/ | 2018-05-21T05:52:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863949.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521043741-20180521063741-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.982788 | 665 | [

Instructions for accessing emailGUARD
Red Condor Frequently Asked Questions
Junk e-mail and viruses are a universal complaint of Internet e-mail users everywhere, and Mid-Rivers emailGUARD service has proven to be very effective in diminishing these email problems for its subscribers. This service is provided free of charge to all Mid-Rivers Internet customers!
Each e-mail user can specify their own degree of filtering intensity to meet their individual needs. By default, the emailGUARD filters will block most junk e-mail from being delivered to your Inbox, but it may not catch all junk e-mail that is sent to your Mid-Rivers address.
If emailGUARD does not block someone who is sending you junk e-mail or viruses, you can completely block those senders by using the "Friends" option. You can also use this option to block email from an entire domain of addresses. If you discover junk e-mails or viruses that seem to by-pass the filters, first ensure that your filter settings are at maximum sensitivity, and then forward that email as an attachment to: [email protected]. This will help emailGUARD trap messages of that nature in the future.
You may also choose to approve senders that you think emailGUARD is blocking in error by using the "Approved Senders" option. You also have the ability to approve any mailing lists or newsgroups to which you subscribe.
Virus protection is a standard feature with emailGUARD and cannot be disabled by the user. Each e-mail sent to your Mid-Rivers address will be scanned for dangerous content using a continuously updated virus scanning engine. NOTE: It is still important to have an anti-virus program on your computer because emailGUARD cannot catch viruses that could be downloaded onto your computer via websites, network shares, or removable media devices such as floppy disks. Also, emailGUARD can filter most viruses but may not catch every virus sent to your Mid-Rivers email address.
To log into your emailGUARD Personal Dashboard, you must use your entire Mid-Rivers e-mail address as the username*. A temporary password is assigned when your account is created and sent to you via e-mail. Please contact the Mid-Rivers technical assistance center if you need additional help with your emailGUARD password.
emailGUARD will send you a daily notification if any emails have been blocked. You then have an opportunity to review those quarantined messages and deliver them to your Inbox if so desired. You can safely preview any quarantined junk e-mails in the emailGUARD Daily Digest.
All e-mails in the Personal Dashboard are automatically deleted every 35 days. To deliver a quarantined message to your e-mail account, click on the "Release" link next to that message in your Daily Digest e-mail.

Always take away great thoughts and ideas from VALA – here’s what I got from Day 1.
Librarianship: saving the world one community at a time – Dr R David Lankes
Technology advances have made the world a smaller place.
Not all is well in the world and librarians have a part to play in helping out.
Power of words – words matter, what we call people who come into the library.
Libraries don’t do things, librarians do things. The library is just a space and we devalue what we do by not taking credit for our work. The result is schools and public libraries that no longer have library staff but are still called libraries – they are just closets with collections.
Strike user from the library vocabulary. Only drugs and computers have users. Consumer is worse. The term negates the possibility that they can produce. Better to use member – it signifies participation and ownership. Client is quaint but also ok.
Every library has communities, regardless of what type.
Power of narratives: power of story – helps people to identify and relate; social constructs – recall bias. However, often we make up stories because they sound rational. Libraries need to get involved in the messaging business and craft the stories of our communities.
David encountered several narrative stories in his world tour.
Narrative 1 – Racial strife – related the story of Ferguson and Baltimore Libraries. Scott Bonner at Ferguson held strong and called for unity and invited teachers to teach in libraries, fed the kids and made the story about family – they stayed open throughout. The same in Baltimore, the library stayed open, helped with groceries and legal aid. Librarians made a difference. They changed the. narrative from racial strife to we build diverse communities.
Narrative 2 – Austerity – cutting back of funds for public services. It’s worldwide, not just the EU. Libraries are going to be the last institution standing and everything is being shifted to libraries – publishing, government support and more.
We have so much data that shows how much ROI that libraries give. If investment was given to libraries, how much more would the communities benefit? Cazenovia Public Library helped expand literacy in Madison County – giving people not only education but worth.
Makers paces have value because many people learn by doing. Can get excited about what they do and share it eg. science teachers able to print out 3D representations of atoms to show students
New narrative – We transform into opportunity.
Narrative 3 – migrant crisis. Libraries are providing language classes and literacy support, government support and celebrate culture. Change the narrative to Citizenship. New narrative – We are a Gateway to cultural identity.
Narrative 4 – Nature’s fury – public libraries can be emergency relief support centres, provide power and wifi, distribute food and shelter, took supplies out on bookmobiles. New narrative – We are there in a crisis.
Narrative 5 – security over privacy – government taking more control and more surveillance to protect us. The response to living in a dangerous world is the loss of privacy. Security comes not through limiting freedom but in inclusive communities where neighbour knows and respects neighbour. Librarians knit communities together. New narrative – We are a noble profession.
This conference is about how and what, but need to look at why we do things. Why do we do what we do, but what can else can we be doing?
We need to be doing, we need to be proactive in all these new narratives. We serve all, not just those who walk into our buildings. That takes courage, it takes opening the doors and leaving the buildings. Think of your collections as tools to help make our communities smarter and better, but like a tool, it does nothing until you pick it up and use it. Even our buildings are just tools.
“A library after hours is like a coral reef without fish, it’s beautiful but dead.”
We are in multiple crises and our communities need us. They need librarians.
The challenge is to expect more – need to take action, need to change the world.
Becoming a librarian because you love books is like becoming cop because you love guns. “You’re a librarian, you must love to read? Yes I love to …….as well, but I don’t have time to do that at work either.”
We need to change the perception of libraries, create a new nostalgia. Libraries have to be more participatory and librarians have to make this happen.
You can inspire, you can make librarians more important and you can change your communities and you can change the world.
Building an Internet of things environment in the library – May Chang
We need to find a place for ourselves in this environment. Garners chart of hype chatted this as not becoming mainstream for around 5 years. The potential for IOT in Austrlia is 3.2 billion by 2019 eg. Home automation, smart buildings eg. Deloitte – The Edge.
Automation and control, includes process optimisation, optimised consumption etc.
Once you have a digital overlay over a city, you have a smart city.
Information and control is another IOT function. The amount of data produced is massive. Apps available include Bluetooth toothbrushes, wifi connected fridges, wearable devices and health devices.
Can use this information to improve the library eg. Where people are connecting to wifi – why there and how can we improve our space to improve this area and make others more attractive. Can create indoor navigation guides, occupancy tracking and more.
Chang has become a partner in technology, being a test bed for new apps etc. eg. Indoor navigation for blind people. Her library has now provided the infrastructure to support this sort of development and test it in the library.
They used Beacons for tracking – many different types but they support many different industries including museums. Each device has a unique identifier enabling you to differentiate. Have a signal radius of 30 metres. Can be used to give people instructions on where they need to go.
They used LightBlue Explorer app to configure the Beacons.
Information security is needed at all levels, needs to be opt in, data privacy so that the only information retained is the device ID and data is only retained for the year.
For those involved in the trial, they requested more info but laid it all out in plain English, but then allowed more personalisation. Eg. Name, level, favourite space in the library.
This is providing good service, but then the data can be invaluable, so analytics needs to be an important part.
20/20 vision: the librarian, he publisher and the technologist – Andrea Gilbey
The future digital library – three groups may be able to help each other to survive into the future. We tend to work in silos and lose sight of the bigger picture. Need to foster more of a culture of trust.
Josiah Wedgewood succeeded on many levels due to one key principle – collaboration. If he could achieve that 200 years ago, what more could we achieve now.
“Technologists, publishers, librarians, authors, agents and business strategists are all working on the same problems – just from different angles.” Palfrey 2015
Publishers and libraries have similar goals. Libraries 2030 (PLVN report) points what can we learn from each other.
Need to talk about ideas worth implementing.
Australia is known as being library adopters. Australian Libraries should also be – need to
get over being risk adverse and continue being creative.
If not now, then when and if not, where will we end up as opposed to where we could have
Digital curation of public policy resources – Amanda Lawrence
Find creating library impact through social engagement OCLC.
Grey literature or organisational publishing – doesn’t come with a catalogue record.
If policy debates are to be successful, the public needs to have access to policy proposals. (We need to have catalogue records for key reports – not just print files in reference etc)
To protect important policy content, archiving and Creative Commons licences are vital.
Grey Literature Strategies Project researched users, producers and collectors. Via surveys with over 1200 responses received. Over 60% of users need grey literature for their work, producers to be involved in the debate, particularly reports and journal articles. However collectors had a higher focus on books/ e-books.
$30 billion on grey literature in Australia, with a value of $33-43 to users.
Round Table – Content is changing, access is changing
John – YBP, Rosalia – Sage, Igor – Press Display, Chris and Roxanne Missingham
Publishing, vendors and libraries all have different tensions that do clash to a certain extent. Libraries have limited funds, publishers have production costs and collectors can’t always provide and have their own costs.
Communication between all parties is vital.
Content is changing and is not limited to one container – it can be a book, with teaching and learning guides, videos and interaction in some form. With marketing and author costs on top of this, it all adds up.
There is a mandate for libraries and aggregators to help educate publishers about what users really want.
Activism could be as simple as ringing News Corp to complain about pulling their content from Press Display. Publishers need to hear directly from librarians about the good, the bad and the ugly.
Trove and social media today – Catriona Bryce
A presence in social media should increase a sustained use of The host organisation.
All the numbers: number of followers, number of tweets, impressions, engagements, clickthroughs and impact?
Numbers are not representative of what is truly happening. Are they really engaging with the content? The numbers can’t give impact, but you can make assumptions from them.
Trove ran an event – The Stress test was designed to try to break the new newspaper interface. Promoted on social
media and the test was hugely successful with 10 times normal traffic and Trove broke. In doing so they gave developers valuable information.
Am I talking to people just like me – yes, it was nearly 3/4 organisations. Of those 43% were GLAM, 16% genealogy, 3% education and 38% were other. Majority from Australia, most were GLAM employed.
However, they are tweeting to just like them, which was great for collaboration but not for access. After surveys, they introduced Facebook to aim at education, CALD and indigenous audiences.
Stories – case studies will be used to support statistics so that impact can be more fully measured, including surveys, social media interactions, and interviews.
Impact comes from stories such as a designer who found a very old article on Trove about a prosthetic hand, which he used to help design a new prosthetic hand for children. This involved Trove in Australia, the SA Medical Museum and people in South Africa and Europe.
The puzzles librarians need to solve – Lee Rainie
Pew does research but without an agenda – they are a fact tank as opposed to a think tank.
Starting point: library foundation is pretty solid. Previous Pew reports found:
- People think libraries are important, especially for communities
- People like and trust librarians
- People think libraries level the playing field for those without vast resources
- People think that libraries provide services that are hard to get elsewhere
- People have libraries have rebranded themselves as tech hubs.
Knowledge creation has three stages: creation, interfaces and dissemination.
Learning as identity – more people consider themselves lifelong learners, collect information about topics of interest and look for opportunities to grow. Also a lot time is being invested in personal interest learning, mostly to make life more interesting. More than half of those employed were ongoing learners.
Libraries have six puzzles to solve.
Future of personal enrichment and entertainment?
Is it totally physical or virtual. Individual or community focused. Collection or creation. Archive or portal. For everyone or specialised.
People see libraries as sanctuaries, with comfortable spaces for reading, working and relaxing. But they also want to keep the other noisy spaces.
Future of pathways to knowledge?
Old process – learning as transaction to new process – learning as a process. From certain to changing, from receiving to contributing, from hierarchical to ecological, from individual to network.
Future of public technology and community anchor institutions?
Libraries poll well. Perception has changed, with people now wanting more space, more tech
Clear public mandate is to do something for education. High perception that libraries should
coordinate more closely with local schools in providing resources to kids. Libraries should
also offer programs to teach technology to everyone, such as computers, smartphones and apps.
Future of learning spaces?
Personal learners are majority online but 1/4 in libraries.
Future of attention and its structural holes?
Users are spending more time dipping into streams, mostly just to find out what is going on
in the world.
Also, getting signals – alerts setup to deliver information about what they care about.
Snacks – when you have a short time span to fill.
Where do you fit on the continuum? ALA’s Confronting the future report.
Libraries can be people, places and platforms. Be tech experts, master teachers in lifelong learning, visionaries for the knowledge economy, experts in sense making, context and curation and monitors of algorithms.
Place: reconfigured and repurposed – artefacts are connected and data rich, nodes for databases and media, test beds and community information and media stewards.
Platforms: community resource- trusted and watchdog, advocates for free and open, data and collection repositories, advocates for closing the digital divide.
Be not afraid – the world needs librarians in these conversations and that is where we are. | <urn:uuid:221663f5-b6eb-43dd-a400-f00a5eefb84d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://connectinglibrarian.com/2016/02/09/vala-2016-day-one-r-david-lankes-lee-rainie-and-so-much-more/ | 2018-05-22T06:23:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864626.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522053839-20180522073839-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.9454 | 2,895 | [

Even though your tomatoes are sun-loving and call their home town Mexico; be careful that you don’t drown them by over-watering during heat waves. In doing so you can cause them to split and develop blossom end rot.
Just be a little sparing with the H20; and hold off if you see rain in the next day’s forecast. Also mix in a little calcium under the plants; this will help in holding off the rot as well.
Remove the sucker too; no sense letting something grow that only uses up moisture and produces zero benefits.

Collecting dead electronics to have a "break them more" party? We were talking about this at work and think it would be a fun idea. Basically, take donations from people of dead monitors, microwaves, PC's...basically anything electronic. We'd then take those donated items out somewhere remote and find fun ways of breaking them further, from the cliched sledgehammer, to M80's, to possibly taking some pieces to a firing range or something. Anyone with ideas about this? As well, anyone willing to make any donations? | <urn:uuid:0beb2652-b1a3-4ea3-acc9-c1fba68c0b7d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://tsara.livejournal.com/183962.html | 2018-05-24T06:10:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865928.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524053902-20180524073834-00050.warc.gz | en | 0.971008 | 112 | [

Spring 2010 sparked a bit of Miu Miu mania, so it’s not surprising that many people have ripped off Ms. Prada’s fanciful collection.
However, back in the fall of 2008, Roberto Cavalli used a similar quirky print motif throughout his Just Cavalli show.
While Miuccia’s prints ran the gamut from cats to dogs to naked people, Roberto stuck to flamingos. Even though that aspect of the design differs, it’s evident that the navy and white color scheme and a number of the details are shockingly similar. If you look very closely, you can even see the flamingo cut-out on the collar of the Cavalli dress.
Could it be that instead of our usual scolding of others for stealing Miuccia’s ideas, we should be calling her out?
Mark Fast for Topshop will finally hit stores June 25! Fast used his SS09 ready-to-wear collection as inspiration for the five-piece line, which ranges from ₤85 for a skirt to ₤150 for a dress, (that translates to about $100 and $185, respectively).
Set your eyes out for the lilac crochet dress covered in tiny holes, but the real star is quite obviously the black long-sleeved dress with matte, rubberized beading. There’s also a pale pink skirt–perhaps for the less daring–and a black sleeveless dress that almost shimmers.The question is: Will you put down some cash for Fast?

Most fashionistas adored Marc Jacobs’ FW2010 collection,
This a huge collection for Marc–particularly because he doesn’t do Pre-Fall. It’s in the stores longer than any either Fall or Spring, so there’s a lot of product for buyers to choose from.
Aside from the 38 looks, essentially every piece comes in at least two or three colorways.
Most pieces were pastel, with some brights mixed in. It was all very ’60s–very Jackie O’, with hints of late-day Coco Chanel.
Absolutely loved the floral lace frocks, as well as the molded circle hems–carried over from the autumn collection. You gotta love the prim, pointy flats and kitten heels. But most of all, the abundance of polka dots! There were polka dots everywhere! On skirts, blouses, jackets and formal dresses.
And if Marc says it’s the season of the polka dot, it must be. He does know a thing or two about great clothes. | <urn:uuid:603c11de-6736-4f4c-a5e6-4ddc6557cdb6> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://mode-parlour.blogspot.com/2010/06/fashion-news-latest-reports.html | 2018-05-25T05:05:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867041.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525043910-20180525063910-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.917926 | 597 | [

Today was positively gorgeous. 64, sunny and breezy (OK, windy)? Spending today in the city would have been wonderful, but I scammed a ride out to Long Beach, on Long Island, to walk on the boardwalk and enjoy the weather. What a great day! It's not the most gorgeous boardwalk I have ever seen, but the sandy beach is an awesome change from Connecticut. There is NO sand in the Long Island Sound - just rocks and mud! And the waves out there were so much bigger. Here are some pictures of the ocean! | <urn:uuid:7c7013ec-b543-4efa-9cea-e95a3648e244> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://aconnecticutgirl.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-tease.html | 2018-05-26T05:59:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867311.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526053929-20180526073929-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.970671 | 115 | [

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!
To those of you who want to make games, be it 2D or 3D, here are some tools to help you get started on that awesome game of yours.
For 2D Games: Stencyl, Game Maker, Construct2, Cocos2D
Stencyl is a game creation platform that allows users to create 2D video games for computers, mobile devices, and the web. It’s an entirely drag-and-drop interface and you can publish your games to Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and Flash. The software is available for free, with select publishing options available for purchase.
GameMaker accommodates the creation of cross-platform and multi-genre video games using drag and drop action sequences or a sandboxed scripting language known as Game Maker Language, which can be used to develop more advanced games that could not be created just by using the drag and drop features. The software is available for free, with select publishing options available for purchase. (quite expensive compared to others imho)
Construct 2 is an HTML5-based 2D game editor, developed by Scirra Ltd. It is aimed primarily at non-programmers, allowing quick creation of games in a drag-and-drop fashion using a visual editor and a behavior-based logic system. It can also publish to multiple platforms for a price.
For 3D Games: Unity and Unreal Engine
Unreal Engine 4 is a suite of integrated tools for game developers to design and build games, simulations, and visualizations. It is also cross-platform and FREE to use. It supports a thing called Blueprint Scripting (drag-and-drop coding) and C++ if you like. When you ship your game, you pay a 5% royalty. The 5% royalty starts after the first $3,000 of revenue per product per quarter. Pay no royalty for film projects, contracting and consulting projects such as architecture, simulation and visualization.
Now that you know these tools, go check them out and see what suits your needs and skills. If you want to know what I’m using, I have Cocos2D and Unreal Engine 4.
See you in the next post! Baaai! | <urn:uuid:0de187e9-6cab-4bc5-bd40-f26f602bac86> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://drix-studios.com/best-free-tools-for-game-development/ | 2018-05-26T06:01:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867311.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526053929-20180526073929-00034.warc.gz | en | 0.922595 | 469 | [

My messenger bag was stolen from underneath my stool at a NoLIta bar. Since then, I have thought obsessively about my bag’s thief, and I have decided to call him Jake. At the local police station, I informed the officer that I had texted Jake at my stolen phone. So far, Jake hasn’t replied.
I used a leaky ballpoint pen to fill out a Complainant’s Report of Lost or Stolen Property: my wallet, phone, keys, wool pageboy hat, black leather gloves, hair straightening iron, two library books and the draft manuscript of my memoir. (Yes, a dainty purse with less room would have been more prudent.)
In my mind’s eye, I see Jake paging through my memoir, wiping tears from his eyes as he reads of the suffering I endured at the hands of schoolyard bullies. I know from logging onto my Citibank account that he has bought himself a subway pass. He could easily be stuck underground with no way to call me. If he’s done with my memoir, at least he has my book club’s latest pick: “March,” by Geraldine Brooks. Our Brooklyn club is entirely young professional women right now; however, I’m sure they would welcome Jake if I prep him to bring along his opinions and some sliced cantaloupe.
A half-hour later, I leave the police station with black ink smudge marks on my hand and little hope. The officer said the chances of recovery were slim. Still, I can’t help scanning the sidewalks for Jake, wearing my wool pageboy hat at a jaunty angle over his gleaming pin-straight hair. | <urn:uuid:c877c661-1580-4306-aea7-c5b7b415d35d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/02/17/bag-snatcher-where-are-you/ | 2018-05-27T05:28:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868003.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527044401-20180527064401-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.965741 | 364 | [

In this video, learn how to change cell and border formatting, including colors, line style, and thickness for a table outline, as well as colors, line styles, and thickness for gridlines inside a table.
- [Instructor] When you create a table here in Numbers…and use one of the default styles to get started…you may end up with a table that you'd like to modify.…In other words, you may want to change up the border…that goes around the outside of the table,…known as the outline,…or change up the lines on the inside, known as gridlines,…even cells can be formatted…with shading and borders themselves.…So let's take a look at borders and outlines…as we continue working with our Leaf and Mortar budget…0303 if you're catching up.…
Now just keep in mind that we do have at the top…a cell that's been merged,…we have a header row across the top with labels,…and a header column down the left.…And the shading that we see,…even the banded rows that we see,…or alternating colors for our rows,…all came with the style.…We'll talk more about styles…in the next chapter in great detail.…Right now though we're going to make our own adjustments.…We'll start by clicking anywhere inside the table…and focus on the outline,…which looks to be a thin gray line.…

At the end of April comes one of the most anticipated events of the year: the NFL draft picks. As one of the most unforgettable season picks in recent history, we’re sure you’re asking yourself what car do the NFL quarterback drafts drive. That’s why we’ve conducted extensive research to answer this question. (Editor’s Note: these are NOT the actual cars the athletes drive).
The USC quarterback now turned New York Jets can drive only one car. That is the 2018 Toyota Prius Eco. As the #1 draft pick, of course he would choose the #1 fuel-economy car.
Josh Allen is no stranger to enrolling in traffic school online. Therefore, as the Buffalo Bills’ new quarterback, he drives a blue Kia Forte, which is a top safety pick for defensive drivers.
The Cleveland Browns chose Baker Mayfield as their new quarterback member. It may be because of his career statistics, but it also could be because of his brown Chevy Bolt.
The next quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals is Josh Rosen, who will be arriving to his games in his 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser. The best car to beat the desert climate.
From cardinals to ravens, Lamar Jackson is the new Baltimore quarterback. Similarly, the 2018 Toyota Corolla iM is the newest hatchback, which is what Jackson drives.
Rudolph will now be playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, a major stealer is the great deal Rudolph got on his new Hyundai Elantra.
Falk was an obvious choice for the Tennessee Titans, but the Toyota 4Runner was an obvious choice for Falk. With 1st, 2nd, and 3rd row seating, who would pass this pick?
Giants fans are rejoicing with the choice of Kyle Lauletta. Also rejoicing is Lauletta in his fuel-efficient GMC Canyon compact pickup truck.
Litton was chosen by the Kansas City Chiefs as their new quarterback. The Honda Accord is known as the Chiefs of all cars, which is what Litton drives.
The Cowboys picked up Mike White as their new quarterback. What’s also white is the cargo van that Mike drives around town.
The Los Angeles Chargers are bringing Shimonek onto their team. Which means, Shimonek’s Ford Focus will be right at home in the city with it’s great fuel range.
Tanner Lee is creating a bit of spur when he was picked by the Jaguars. We can only assume the buzz has to do with his 2017 Ford Mustang Convertible.
Falcons received Benkert from the draft, which means they also get to see him arrive to practice in his Chrysler Pacifica minivan.
Woodside will be playing with the Bengals. This is probably why he was seen placing their logo on the side of his Honda Civic.
Etling signed to play with the Patriots this season. This may be because of his amazing college track record, but it could have something to do with the fact he drives a 2017 Jeep Patriot.
Finally, McGough will be playing for the Seahawks come this season. That’s why McGough invested in a rain-resistant Lexus RX 450h to survive the Seattle weather. | <urn:uuid:61686f51-4cdd-4a52-aee1-1499ad7961e5> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.myimprov.com/nfl-draft-new-quarterbacks-drive/ | 2018-05-27T05:22:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868003.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527044401-20180527064401-00356.warc.gz | en | 0.968306 | 671 | [

Two held after Temple Bar brawl between Ireland and England fans
A BRAWL between Irish and English football fans led to two Dubliners being arrested for public order offences on Sunday afternoon.
The fracas took place at Essex Gate in Temple Bar at about 4:20pm, following the lacklustre international friendly in the Aviva Stadium earlier in the day.
It's understood that the row involved 12 fans - six Irish and six English.
No English supporters were arrested after the melee.
Two men - one with an address in Clondalkin and the other in Finglas were arrested by gardai from Pearse Street Garda Station and are expected to be processed in the district court in the coming weeks.
The row was one of the more violent incidents that gardai had to deal with on what was a relatively calm weekend in the city centre.
There was a massive policing operation put in place ahead of the game - the two teams' first in Dublin since English fans rioted in Lansdowne Road in 1995.
The boys in green had been leading that match when it had to be abandoned as thugs threw missiles form the stands.
Gardai said that there were a "few other flare ups" last weekend.
In the Essex Gate incident it is thought that one group of fans came from Christ Church direction, and the other came from within Temple Bar before they clashed.
The incident was said to have been quickly stopped by gardai.
A woman who witnessed some of the fight said that a crowd gathered to watch but that several squad cars responded speedily to the incident.
A doorman who works in the Temple Bar area described the night as one he'd rather forget.
"We had a terrible time on the door," he told the Herald.
"Sunday was a day that I'd rather forget. We had no trouble thank God, but there was just a lot of aggro on the door - for nothing, just over a football game - but then people had been drinking all day," he said.
"The gardai put the clampers on, fair play to them. It was great because they cracked down on the trouble-makers."
"They had patrols up and down the street all night checking in with us," he added.
Sunday's game passed off without any major incident.
There was a total of six public order units, each consisting of 18 officers, on standby over the two days. | <urn:uuid:b0810359-6746-4a5d-8cea-e088c7042799> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.herald.ie/news/two-held-after-temple-bar-brawl-between-ireland-and-england-fans-31287519.html | 2018-05-21T09:08:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863972.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521082806-20180521102806-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.987324 | 500 | [

This Chanel 20-piece limited edition 18-carat white gold watch featuring an octagonal shaped case houses Audemars Piguet’s flying tourbillon system. What makes the manual winding mechanical movement so unique is Mademoiselle Chanel’s favourite flower – the camelia – installed on its very top. Every minute, the blossom turns with the ultra-light movement, which has more than 60 components and yet weighs only 0.432 gram. A true feat of watchmaking! The watch case is set with 22 emerald-cut diamonds totaling 7.7 carats of diamonds. This is a 100% Chanel high watchmaking timepiece. | <urn:uuid:e590263b-3f67-4e77-b811-bdf29e89d7cc> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.luxos.com/news/watches/3730-chanel-the-new-premiere-ladies-jewelry-watch | 2018-05-21T09:00:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863972.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521082806-20180521102806-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.897757 | 139 | [

What are you waiting for?
A friend of mine who's a surgeon was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She told me that when she heard the news, she had two distinct reactions: The first was shock and fear for her life; the second was, "Wow! Now I can stay home from work for a few months."
Surprised, I asked her about that second response. "I am so tired," she said. "I work all day taking care of other people. Having cancer, as drastic as it is, gives me an excuse to take care of myself. I've been wanting to redecorate my house for years, wanting to wake up in the morning and putter around the yard. I've been wanting to write a book, but I've never had the time. It's not that I'm not worried and afraid now. But I'm also strangely relieved at being able to focus on myself."
Should it really take a wake-up call this dire to get us to reorder our lives? Unfortunately, sometimes that is what's required. It's hard to give ourselves what we need. We spend so much time and energy trying to balance work and family that we forget to factor ourselves in. Just a few more weeks, we think. As soon as my schedule clears. Then I'll slow down and catch up on all the personal maintenance! My friend doesn't, of course, believe that being tired and wanting to putter caused her cancer, but she does believe that, among many other repercussions, the diagnosis frees her to do what she's wanted to do for a long time. "Besides everything else cancer is," she told me, "it's an opportunity to reexamine your priorities."
After talking to my friend, I decided not to wait for a terrifying diagnosis to start thinking about my own life. What was I postponing until a future time when I'd be successful enough, old enough, or, God forbid, sick enough to do what I most wanted to do?
I remember an exercise I used to suggest in my workshops: I'd ask the participants to make a list of things they would do if they were told they had a year to live. After that, it was a month, a week, and then, finally, a day.
With a year to live, they'd say things like: I'd travel to Istanbul, live in France, stop working, learn to weave, eat as much ice cream as I wanted, eat all the potato chips I've never allowed myself, spend as much time with my children as I possibly could, binge on sweets, stop dragging myself to the gym.
With six months to live, they'd say things like: I'd go on a major shopping spree and buy everything I'd ever wanted, I'd travel constantly, I'd never travel again, I'd eat dessert after every meal and especially after breakfast, I'd stop doing anything I didn’t want to do, I'd learn to sing, I'd eat whatever I wanted, I'd have a show of my paintings, I'd spend all my time with people I loved, I'd spend my time alone, learn to meditate, learn to tango, eat in the middle of the night and not worry about burning off the calories. As they imagine they have less and less time to live, the answers become more poignant: I'd hold my children close, I'd tell my husband how lucky I feel to be with him. I'd smell the air, I'd crunch in the leaves, I'd watch the birds, I'd spend every waking moment I could being grateful for still being able to see, breathe, smell, touch.
Bingeing is never a part of this last list. No one wants to miss a moment of being awake or alive by overeating or not feeling well. Which is a good thing to notice.
When you imagine that you have a month or a week to live, you suddenly become aware of what's really important. The entire cheesecake you wanted to eat, you had to eat, suddenly becomes an obstacle. You realize that when you eat compulsively, you feel drained and tired, unable to pay attention to the things you love about being alive, the things you might not notice as you run from errand to e-mail. The size of your thighs no longer seems so crucial. Some of the things that feel important when you think you have all the time in the world seem inconsequential when each moment becomes precious.
Our lives turn on a dime. One minute everyone is fine; the next minute, a doctor delivers bad news, or there's an accident. And even a long, healthy life goes by too quickly. Time flies; it gallops. Would you yank "eat my way through the menu at the Cheesecake Factory" off your to-do list if you only had a short time to live? Then it shouldn't be there now!
"On the last day of my live, I would want to plant a tree," the poet W.S. Merwin said. As for me, I would want to love extravagantly (and, although I wouldn't binge, I would definitely eat a piece of 77 percent bittersweet chocolate sprinkled with sea salt). Ask yourself what you'd do if you didn't have endless time to life. Ask yourself what you're not doing now that you'd do on the last day of your life. Especially, ask yourself where food fits into all this. Does it deaden you? Is it a consolation prize, a substitute for all the pleasures you really want?
Take the time you have now to look at your priorities through new eyes before reality forces you to. Imagine yourself in that last year, six months, month, day. Would food be your chief delight, or simply a pleasant way to nourish your body and sustain your energy so you could do what you really loved? Listen to your longings. Ask yourself, What am I waiting for? And when you realize the correct answer is, Nothing, dive in. | <urn:uuid:ee6590cd-62a1-4a4e-8dbf-a105caa319c9> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://geneenroth.com/articles/2017/8/ | 2018-05-22T07:50:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864648.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522073245-20180522093245-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.985863 | 1,243 | [

PPL has played a major in providing qualified interim executives to California Community Colleges. With the sunseting of the waivers and exemptions to the STRS earning limit, the new earning limit as of July 1, 2016 is $41,7323 each fiscal year, challenges are ahead for executives wanting to work after retirement. You can go the tab JOIN OUR TEAM and find more information about working in retirement.
Keep in touch with PPL representatives as they work to find ways to provide quality interim leadership in the state. There have been a few challenges to current an future retirees based on challenges to your selected retirement system. Administrators that were in CalSTRS who moved into positions normally covered by CalPERS were being challenged by the CalSTRS retirement system. This affected administrators working in administrative services, human resources and other assignments that were not considered to be academic work by STRS.
Some administrators were given the choice when they took these positions to stay in CalSTRS or to move to CalPERS. This required the administrator to file with the retirement system to accept the assignment. In other cases, the districts thought they had the ability to decide which system to assign to a retirement system and the administrator was required to change systems.
In 2011 CalSTRS challenged a number of assignments as being eligible for their retirement system and went as far as denying retirement benefits to some retirees. This was appealed by ACCCA and a consortium of professional associations and that first resulted in CalSTRS providing an open window to apply for exceptions. Finally, legislation was jointly developed with the consortium and CalSTRS that has resolved the issues of retirement system assignment for administrators that were in their retirement system prior to 1990.
Addressing Earning Limits
There is still a major difference between the earning limits for a retiree from CalSTRS and CalPERS. CalSTRS has set the earning limit on the average retirement calculation for all retirees in the previous fiscal year. This establishes the earning limit for 2016 -2017 at $41,732. If your retire from the CalPERS retirement system a retiree is allowed to work for 960 hours without is affecting retirement earnings. While there are adjustments to the calculation of final earnings it allows for an inequity in the earnings allowed between the two system . ACCCA has continued to set this inequity as one of its legislative agendas, but to date it has not been moved forward for correction. | <urn:uuid:b1121a10-928c-4125-99c0-f65b821f3bae> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://pplpros.com/strs-changes-affect-work-in-retirement/ | 2018-05-22T07:41:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864648.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522073245-20180522093245-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.981926 | 489 | [

Wow, I feel honored! During the “public” comment section tonight, the Region One superintendent got up and spoke to rebut comments that I made about pay in the area, the comments were not even addressed to her, they were made to the board! The Region One Chair, Phil Hart allowed it, but, I am not really sure if it was appropriate! The superintendent has her own time to give a report..she is NOT part of “public” comment…she is NOT the “public”, she is the superintendent! Oh well…they just don’t get it…tearing up three-year contracts every year and writing new ones is just plain WRONG.

I successfully flashed the code to the device to use the XDK cloud app and read the values in the Bosch cloud. I share my iPhone connection and it connects properly to the device.
When I register the MAC ("WLAN" on the back of the device with "XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX" numbers and capital letters) address of my XDK in the "Claim new XDK" configuration tab of the XDK Cloud App page, this error message appears:
Claiming failed: <html>
<head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head>
<center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center>
Can you give me some support?
Unfortunately I can only make an assumption on what kind of issue you are facing. Could you please explain in more detail what is happening ? What kind of application have you flashed onto the XDK. Are you using the XDK Portal demo, or an application which interacts with the new Bosch IoT cloud ?
Kind regards, Franjo
That´s correct: I flashed the XDK portal demo into the XDK, with the modified code as explained in the Getting Started Guide.
Then I went to https://xdkdemoapp.apps.bosch-iot-cloud.com/#/ and created a user (mancheed) so I can register my XDK and read the values.
When I try to claim a new XDK using the "WLAN" written on the back of the device, the error message appears (see attached pic).
As far as I understand, this web page should allow me to read the data that the XDK sends in the cloud via mi iPhone as a hotspot.
Thanks a lot for the support.
thank you for providing the additional information about your issue.
We are very glad that so many people are developing for the XDK. The XDK is a very open platform for development and multiple implemented use cases such as cloud solution are currently available. The mentioned platform is not directly developed and supported by the XDK team.
I was able to reproduce the issue you described, but I assume that this issue is related to the XDK Cloud app and not to the Bosch XDK demo on your XDK.
If you need some support regarding the XDK cloud app you mentioned, I would recommend to contact the responsible developers of the cloud directly. The Bosch IoT cloud is hosted by Bosch Software Innovations that you can contact here.
Please note that there will be a great cloud solution developed and supported by the XDK team by the end of 2017.
I realized I was using the wrong address to read the values in the cloud.
I now registered at https://bcds.bosch-si.com/login and everything runs smoothly.
Just a question: Is it possible to unlock additional sensor capabilities? Currently I can only use humidity, light, pressure and temperature (see screenshot attached).
it's good to hear that the issue was not so complex after all.
As for unlocking additional sensors: The sensors you mention (humidity, pressure, etc.) are one-dimensional, that's why the Live Chart only offers these kind of sensors.
The accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer data sets are three-dimensional and require a different kind of widget called Speedometer. Such a widget is already provided at Dashboards > XDK - Live. It should be preset to Gyroscope. If you need additional speedometer-widgets (for example to display accelerometer data and gyroscope data at the same time), go into edit mode, click on Add Widget and select Speedometer. With that, a new widget should appear on your current dashboard.
To configure the widgets and connect your XDK, press on the yellow edit button on the top right corner of the widget and then select your XDK and channel accordingly in the pop-up window.
Please tell me if this is helpful and do not hesitate to ask if you have further questions. | <urn:uuid:9df02fa3-4ac0-4bde-80ad-6a999c52d8c8> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://xdk.bosch-connectivity.com/community/-/message_boards/message/243513 | 2018-05-23T09:46:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865468.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523082914-20180523102914-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.906339 | 909 | [

The biggest news of 2014 is the addition of two new grand-daughters, Aurora and Penelope. If that isn't a big enough blessing, we also learned that there will be a grandson born in 2015. I am always amazed how my small family unit is growing into such a great people.
I will go more into details about some of the challenges of last year. I'm excited to share and log some of my thoughts and research about a couple of health issues I faced and hoping I was able to conquer naturally.
This new year is promising to have some new stresses and changes. My stepson will be graduating and joining the Navy. Stormy will turn 5 and we will have to get more formal about her schooling. We have a huge financial goal that we have been working on and some major plans to improve our house.
How did I do on the China Challenge? Not too bad actually. I cannot remember the last time I was in Walmart. I'm always looking at product to see where they are made and try to buy Made in the USA whenever I can find them, even though it always means paying more.
So here we go 2015. In less than 5 hours you will be here and I will embrace all that you will bring. | <urn:uuid:a98202f5-2bbb-4c9d-ace2-5b4c848598a5> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://akmusicstorm.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html | 2018-05-24T08:15:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866107.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524073324-20180524093324-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.982919 | 255 | [

- Judge Finds for Plaintiff in First Public Accommodations Website Trial
- July 13, 2017
In what we believe is the first trial on the issue of whether a website is covered by Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), on June 13, 2017, United States District Court Judge Robert Scola found in favor of the plaintiff. In Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., Case No. 1:16-cv-23020 (S.D. Fla.), the plaintiff alleged that Winn-Dixie’s website is a place of public accommodation and is not accessible to persons who are blind and use screen reader technology. Prior to trial, Winn-Dixie filed a Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, arguing that a website is not a public accommodation pursuant to the ADA. Judge Scola rejected that argument and held that the plaintiff alleged sufficient facts from which one could infer a “nexus” between Winn-Dixie’s physical stores and its website, subjecting the website to the requirements of the ADA.
At trial, the plaintiff testified that his screen reader software did not generally work with Winn-Dixie’s website, he could not access information such as the store hours or the store locator, and the website did not have any indication that Winn-Dixie was working to improve its website’s accessibility. Winn-Dixie’s corporate representative testified that while Winn-Dixie currently does not have an accessibility policy for its website, the company has set aside $250,000.00 to make the website accessible, and it does not conduct any direct sales through the website. Plaintiff’s website accessibility expert testified that Winn-Dixie’s website could be made accessible with one or two simple modifications made in accordance with the WCAG 2.0 guidelines and estimated the costs to the fix these issues to be approximately $37,000.00.
Based on this testimony, the Court found in favor of the plaintiff. Judge Scola held that:
“[t]he Court need not decide whether Winn-Dixie’s website is a public accommodation in and of itself, because the factual findings demonstrate that the website is heavily integrated with Winn-Dixie’s physical store locations and operates as a gateway to the physical stores locations…[and] Winn-Dixie has violated the ADA because the inaccessibility of its website has denied Gil the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations that Winn-Dixie offers its sighted customers.”
Based on the Court’s factual findings and conclusions of law, Judge Scola awarded injunctive relief to the plaintiff and ordered Winn-Dixie to, among other things, remediate its website in accordance with the WCAG 2.0 guidelines over a time period still to be agreed to. The plaintiff was also awarded his reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
Only recently have courts addressed and interpreted the application of the ADA to websites and this is a rapidly evolving area of law. Businesses that are public accommodations that use websites to communicate to their customers or to otherwise conduct business with the public would do well consult with legal counsel to determine if their website is subject to the ADA. If a business’s website is covered by the ADA, a qualified accessible website consultant can assess the website(s) to determine what, if any, changes need to be made so as not to run afoul of the ADA. | <urn:uuid:7f8bfe1e-5e01-4cd6-8d6d-7d5982cde792> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.martindale.com/legal-news/article_greenberg-traurig-llp_2500449.htm | 2018-05-25T09:31:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867055.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525082822-20180525102822-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.958275 | 724 | [

With views over Sydney Cove and Walsh Bay, the Rocks are a very central area where entertainment, cuisine, and great views over the water converge. In the few blocks between Cumberland Street and Circular Quay West, you'll encounter a ton of pubs and “hotels” for your late night rendezvouses and AFL-watching excitement, while the full compliment of trendy restaurants will be at your disposal. On Cumberland alone there are three excellent staples of both nightlife and cuisine: the Australian Heritage Hotel (big for backpackers and kangaroo pizza), the Glenmore Rooftop Hotel (don't miss the Sydney Harbour view), and Harts Pub (arguably the best spot in Sydney for craft beers).
One of the most popular tourist areas in the city for the views of iconic landmarks like the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, it's worth enjoying this gentrified district for more than expensive meals or drinks with a view. There are also a parade of historic buildings that include Cadmans Cottage and the waterside Dawes Point Battery in which to indulge your sense of culture. | <urn:uuid:e69a3263-c8e4-4de1-a33f-8639b8b63b19> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.embark.org/australia/sydney/nightlife/the-rocks | 2018-05-27T09:40:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868239.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527091644-20180527111644-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.917418 | 227 | [

Recent research shows that only 4% of children’s and young adult books that are published feature BAME (Black, Asian and minority ethnic) characters. More so than ever, it’s crucial to find books that represent the diverse and varied experiences and cultures of all students.
To celebrate Academic Book Week, our team of librarians have put together a list of recommended titles by BAME authors, or featuring BAME characters that are suitable for secondary aged readers.

The Calabrese pepper has its origins in Italy, where it is prized for its hot taste and the attractive appearance of the small round, red peppers. It’s often fried or pickled. The plants and seeds are not commonly found, so if you want to grow this Italian delicacy, you’ll need to search for a specialty seed company. Like other hot peppers, the Calabrese thrives in soil that has plenty of compost and other organic materials and where it gets full sun.
Start seeds in pots or flats indoors about six weeks before your final spring frost. Fill your pots or flat with standard potting soil and then water well, until water comes out the drainage holes. Plant seeds the correct depth and distance apart, according to packet instructions. Cover your pots or flat with clear plastic to increase the temperature and keep the soil moist. Then set it in a sunny spot where the temperature remains above 60 degrees F at all times. Remove the plastic as soon as you see sprouts above the soil's surface.
Prepare the planting area by spreading a 3- to 4-inch layer of organic compost and other materials, such as grass clippings, on top of the soil where you plan to grow your peppers and then dig them under to a depth of 8 to 12 inches.
Set your Calabrese pepper plants into their permanent outdoor location after the final spring frost. Dig holes with a trowel that are large enough for the plants’ roots and then gently set the peppers into the soil, covering them with additional soil with your hands or your trowel. Add a 1- to 2-inch layer of compost or other mulch around the plants to keep the soil moist and warm. Water thoroughly by running a sprinkler over the planting area for about 20 minutes and then water them at least once a week when the soil begins to dry out.
Fertilize your Calabrese peppers about one month after planting with a balanced plant food, such as one having an N-P-K ratio of 12-12-12. After that, give your plants one more feeding, but avoid fertilizing after the end of July because an early frost might damage new growth.
Spray your Calabrese plants with insecticidal soap as soon as you notice any sign of aphids or other insects. Spray in late afternoon when the area is in shade, and repeat your application every other day until all signs of the insects are gone.
Things You Will Need
- Calabrese pepper seeds
- Nursery pots or flat
- Potting soil
- Plastic wrap
- Insecticidal soap (optional)
- Iron phosphate granules (optional)
- Slugs and snails rarely bother hot peppers, although these destructive creatures can attack young foliage. If you notice chewed leaves on young plants, bait the area with iron phosphate granules, which are an organic remedy for snails and slugs.
- You can dry Calabrese peppers for use in the months when it is not possible to grow them. Pick ripe peppers and either hang them or place them on an old window screen in a warm, dark, dry, well-ventilated area, such as a garage. When they feel crunchy, about two weeks later, chop them up or put them through a food processor and store the pieces in tightly sealed Mason jars or plastic zipper bags.

House Style: a pair of clothing entrepreneurs’ kid-friendly apartment in Forest Hill
Carly and her husband, Jesse, are professionally laid-back. They started a line of high-end sweats and hoodies in 2007 before founding their current venture, Tkees flip-flops. Their sandals are favoured by celebs like Angelina Jolie and Beyoncé. The pair got together after a friend asked Jesse to pick up Carly en route to a party one night in 2004; they married six years later. Last year, they moved in to their large Forest Hill apartment where they live with their two kids, three-year-old Jensen and one-year-old Sienna. | <urn:uuid:23fa16b3-a8be-45ee-8421-26ef73be2996> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://torontolife.com/style/home/home-style-modern-family/ | 2019-05-21T17:06:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256494.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521162634-20190521184634-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.97291 | 140 | [

After a few months disruption of my reading habits, some new ones are starting to emerge as asking to be read! Here is a short list:
Sabbath as Resistance: Saying NO to the CULTURE of NOW by Walter Brueggemann,2014
(from the preface): "In our own contemporary context of the rat race of anxiety, the celebration of the Sabbath is an act of both resistance and alternative. It is resistance because it is a visible insistence that our lives are not defines by the production
and consumption of commodity goods..."
Brueggemann is a seasoned Old Testament scholar, who points to what we are experiencing today as being already experienced by the Hebrew people of the Old Testament. But his language here is nothing to shy away
from because of that. It is straightforward and simple and very confrontative to our taken-for-granted culture, of which some of us are tired...are you?
SILENCE: the Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise by Thich Nhat Hanh
(2014) This book is almost like a fine-tuning of this wise old teacher's wisdom. Easy to read, easy to follow, it inspires practice. Not only that, but - like Brueggemann - he goes to the very heart of the unhappiness at the core of our world and of our own
lives, and holds out a simplicity of hope for transformation in the most personal way. Take this book anywhere with you and read a sentence or two at a time. It will change your world.
The Sacred Year: Mapping the Soulscape of Spiritual
Practice - How Contemplating Apples, Living in a Cave, and Befriending a Dying Woman Revived My Life by Michael Yankowski (2014) This young Christian motivational speaker, popular and high-powered, came to a standstill one day when he recognized
how his own life had become utterly separated from what he was teaching. It was deep shock and bright breakthrough. This readable, lifestory-oriented book takes us on his journey with tears and laughter, deep insight and sudden spiritual shock. A transformational
read for the reader as you follow MIchael's own transformation. | <urn:uuid:a9e7c431-4a77-4b84-8a64-074a4d6ba7c0> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.brenped.com/185606360/2548885/posting/back-to-reading | 2019-05-24T03:08:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257497.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524024253-20190524050253-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.956436 | 459 | [

There’s a new MGM Resorts Amex Offer which was released yesterday. Here’s more about the offer and how it can be maximized to help you earn status with Hyatt.
- Spend $300+ on room rate and room charges at select MGM Resorts destinations from January 24, 2018 and April 24, 2018 and get $60 / 6,000 Membership Rewards
- Offer valid at Bellagio, ARIA, Vdara, MGM Grand, The Signature at MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay , Delano Las Vegas, Park MGM, The Mirage, Monte Carlo, New York-New York, Luxor, Excalibur, Beau Rivage, Gold Strike Tunica, Borgata and MGM National Harbor.
- Reservations must be made directly through MGM Resorts online at mlife.com, by phone, or via mobile app.
- Excludes all other MGM Resorts destinations.
- Excludes Four Seasons rooms and residences.
This offer seems to be available pretty much year round. If you’re planning a trip to Vegas, it’s a great way to get ~20% off (if you’re able to stick close to the $300 spend requirement.)
Seeing as you can book online at mlife.com, you can book discounted rates at MGM Resorts hotels. For example, a Pyramid Deluxe Queen Room at Luxor Hotel & Casino is pricing out at $306.15 for a five night stay from February 4 to February 9. That’s with Guaranteed Early Check-In (10am) and LUX Late Check Out (3pm) added for $20 each to get over the $300 mark and includes taxes and resort fees.
With the statement credit version of the Amex Offer, your net cost will be $246.15. That puts your net cost per night at $49.23.
The other benefit of MLife is their partnership with World of Hyatt. Once your MLife and Hyatt accounts are linked, you’ll earn World of Hyatt points and elite qualifying nights for stays at MGM Resorts. This can therefore be a lower cost way to help you attain Hyatt status.
Edit 1: The original post had incorrect details about the Luxor stay. When rechecking rates, I was able to find an even lower priced deal which is included above.
Edit 2: There’s another benefit to linking your MLife and Hyatt accounts which is that you can charge meals to your room and earn World of Hyatt points. You can even eat at a different MGM Resorts hotel to where you’re staying and charge it to your room. For example, we ate at the Aria buffet and charged it to our room at The Luxor.

Autumn is officially here and what says fall more than pumpkins!? One of our favorite things about autumn is that once fall arrives, everything is pumpkin flavored! From pumpkin lattes to pumpkin spice muffins, we love it all!
Pumpkins also make for some very cute wedding decor! They can be incorporated into so many different styles to add a touch of fall to your wedding. Try painting pumpkins with an interesting pattern or covering them in metallic paint or glitter. You can even use all ivory pumpkins for a classic neutral look.
Who knew pumpkins could be so versatile!?
1. To keep kids entertained during the ceremony, create a coloring book-style program just for them! They can color in illustrations of the bride and groom and the wedding party. This could also be a great keepsake!
2. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, bring some fun toys for the kids to play with, like a hula-hoop or kite! At night, give the older kids sparklers. They will have a blast running around with them!
3. If there are going to be really young children at your wedding, consider paying a teenaged family friend to watch the kids for the evening. That way, parents can enjoy the evening without each of them needing pay their own sitter or feel like they need to rush home.
4. Create a kid’s lounge! Have games, beanbag chairs, craft supplies, juice boxes, and a candy bar. They’ll feel really cool having their own little space.
5. Create fun packages for the kids’ table. Include a disposable camera, stickers, play-doh, and other fun goodies to keep them occupied.
6. Skip renting expensive linens for the kids’ table. Try covering the table with paper and give each of the kids a set of crayons. They’ll love having the huge canvas to work with.
7. Make a scavenger hunt! Have them spy for things like, a kissing couple or the groom playing with his ring. You can even make it a photo scavenger hunt. Who knows, they might be budding photographers!
There is so much inspsiration to be found within the era of speakeasies, the Great Gatsby, and the flappers of the roaring 20s. It has glitz, glam and a sophisticated vintage beauty that we here at SEBC are simply in love with! The Art Deco style is all about over-the-top extravagance and wild, champagne-fueled parties that don’t stop until sunrise. We love the sparkle of silver or gold elements on top of muted backgrounds, the geometric shapes, and the heavy ornamentation. The 1920s are all about going over-the-top and having a great time!
For even more Art Deco wedding inspiration, check out our pinterest board! | <urn:uuid:8bfb6166-64b0-447a-8096-41a2b51c6732> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://simplyelegantbridalconsulting.wordpress.com/2013/09/ | 2019-05-24T03:22:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257497.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524024253-20190524050253-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.932437 | 601 | [

On 5 May 2011, the EU Centre’s Associate Fellow Ms Anne Pollet-Fort gave a lecture on the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) of the European Union, as part of the Nanyang Junior College’s Arts Week. Ms Pollet-Fort recalled the conditions for having a currency area and the specific situation in the EU. She discussed what it means for a country to be part of the EMU in Europe, laying out the pros and cons. She also examined the ongoing euro zone crisis and looked at the different situations of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. Presenting the underlying economic theory of monetary unions and look at the economic impact of having an EMU in Europe, Ms Pollet-Fort offered a better understanding of the headline news on the euro zone sovereign debt crises to the students.

MasterChef: The Professionals 2018 Chefs – Ross Chatburn
November 12, 2018
This year, Ross Chatburn takes on Masterchef: The Professionals, cooking and competing through a variety of heats, quarter finals and knockouts until the ultimate winner is crowned. Greg Wallace, Marcus Wareing and Monica Galetti judge the dishes being served – with all the action, tantrums, successes and burning disasters caught on camera. The winner goes away with a trophy and the prestige of being The Professional Masterchef of the series.
Ross has been a chef for the relatively short time of 7 years. He was 24 when he decided to go into this line of work, which left him 6 or 7 years behind most of the people who were starting out at the same time. Ross began working as a chef in The Radissson at Manchester airport where he learnt to deal with a huge number of covers in a big busy kitchen, before deciding the higher end food was what he wanted to cook. A year into his tenure Ross left for a job in the middle of Cheshire at a fine dining pub called The Bells of Peover, which at the time was aiming for all sorts of culinary awards and was headed up by Matthew smith, his sous Adam Summers and junior sous chef Steven Moore, all of whom had experience at some of the countries best restaurants. Despite the really low wage and 100+ hours per week, it was the most rewarding job Ross could ever have hoped for, starting as commis chef in 2012, he worked his way up to sous chef in only 2 years with the guidance of these fantastic mentors, and a lot of hard work and determination to push himself as hard as possible. The fact that Ross was 24 when he started really pushed him to progress as fast as possible and gave him much more of a reason to work hard. After the bells of peover he worked as head chef in a restaurant in Manchester. This restaurant was a tea room when he started but the owners wanted a special fine dining element to their offering on the weekends, which Ross implemented with great success over the time that he was there. This was a very enjoyable time on the most part, his first job as head chef where he was learning things about business and management. It was in 2015 however that Ross was offered a job as senior sous chef at Hotel Gotham, which was opening with a view to be a five star destination in the city centre. He accepted and soon took control of the menu, achieving 2 rosettes in their first 6 months. Which he later became the head chef there and kept the 2 rosettes for 3 years. I have since moved to Oddfellows on the park in Cheadle as Head Chef, where he hope’s to gain as much recognition as possible for his food and continue with the success of the hotel and the sister hotel in Chester he has already attained.
We spoke to Chef Ross to find out more about his experience on the BBC2 show…
What was the reason in taking part in Masterchef?
I Took part in Masterchef initially as a trade with my general manager in promise of a new set of plates for the kitchen. After my first application however, I was really excited to be taking part in the competition and be given an opportunity to get some form of positive affirmation that the food which I create is as good as I hope it to be.
Is there a way to handle the criticism from the judges?
The best way I found to handle the criticism from the judges, just as in every day I work, whenever I receive criticism, is to see it as an opportunity to better yourself. When I received any bad comments from the judges on masterchef I took it as more of a challenge for me to do better. That outlook helps in all aspects of the culinary industry.
What is the atmosphere like cooking alongside other chefs?
The atmosphere and pressure when cooking along side someone like Marcus wareing was always going to be really difficult. However when you are actually there and doing it, with the added pressure of the 20 cameras and countless crew staring at you as well, the pressure of loved ones hoping you do well and peers wishing you all the best, its an enormous thing to try and keep control of – more than I ever thought in the lead up to my filming day.
What is your approach to the imagination and creation of your dishes?
When creating a dish I would generally start with one thing which I really want to use, and that’s not always the protein. I can take vegetable which ive never used for instance, or a preparation of that vegetable that ive never used, and then I like to develop the whole dish around that and let the dish grow organically from one ingredient – to make that ingredient, and the ones around it, shine.
What is your cooking style and what can people expect from the food on your menu?
I suppose my food would be described as modern british, but that’s such a broad spectrum of food nowadays. I always try to add a little fun and wit to my dishes. I like people to enjoy the look, taste, smell, and the idea of the food which I serve them. I mentioned on the programme, that I enjoy having a Unique selling point to each of my dishes. By that I mean a small element, whether that’s a puree, a certain preparation of meat or even just a small garnish which makes people talk and think about what theyre eating. If someone can leave my restaurant and have 1 unique element of their dishes really stick with them, then I’m happy.
What was your greatest accomplishment during the show?
I think the thing which I took away from masterchef and was happy with is the comments from Marcus, he said that he enjoyed my cooing style and that I ‘interested’ him, which is always nice to hear from someone of his status. I also had to take great enjoyment from the uproar I caused on twitter after the programme from people who couldnt believe my age. I’m 31 but I have always looked very young for my age, there were literally hundreds of tweets from people in disbelief, to the point where it was even in a daily express article online – I think that memory of seeing it all unfold on my phone will always stay with me!
Are there any down sides?
The downsides I think were mainly from my own personal reaction to not getting as far in the competition as I wanted. Friends and family all said what a major achievement it was to get there, and that just having the guts to do such a thing was enough, but personally I couldn’t help feeling id let my closest family and friends down a little for not being as good as I know I can be.
Would you recommend for a friend to take part and why?
I think doing any of these sort of things I would definitely do it again, probably I would just be a lttle more laid back about the whole situation and a lot calmer, maybe that way I could have got my main aim, which was to appear on this morning with Phil and Holly! | <urn:uuid:66ce8ab9-f45d-4037-a9d2-7490ca92db3d> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://nurturedinnorfolk.co.uk/masterchef-the-professionals-2018-chefs-ross-chatburn/ | 2019-05-25T07:56:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257920.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525064654-20190525090654-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.987739 | 1,477 | [

Time Blocking in Google Calendar to Double Your Productivity
Did you know it takes 20 minutes to focus again after an interruption during your work?
Imagine all of the time you lose by multitasking when it takes you 20 minutes to focus each time you start a new task. Blocking your time will help you focus on one thing at a time and complete way more tasks in a day.
identify categories of work
Blocking off time in Google Calendar is really easy and it’s one of my favourite business tools.
Before you implement this, it’s important to think of the most important categories of the work you do. Here are some general categories you might want to use: Business Development, Business Tasks (admin), Client Work, Projects (for the inevitable crazy projects I undertake), Content Creation, Product Creation and Marketing.
block time in google calendar
Open your Google Calendar app and add a new calendar for each of your categories. Don’t forget to colour code each calendar to make the different blocks really clear and stand out.
Next it’s time to record and add everything to the calendar.
I like to work on things in batches of 2 to 4 hours, depending on what else I’ve got going on. Generally I’m the most effective in the morning, so I schedule client work and other important things in the morning. Then I fill up the afternoons with marketing, admin, content creation etc.
Look at the bigger picture
Don’t forget to look at the bigger picture.
Are you giving important areas enough time? Is there something that might need more or less attention next week?
Make sure you keep some blank space, this is a catchall space for when additional issues and tasks inevitably pop up.
Once you’re happy with it, make sure you sync it with any other tools you use in your business.
Now it’s time to start executing. This calendar just became your holy business book so start working on the tasks that you’ve planned in!
One final, very important tip is to be firm yet flexible. This means that it is totally okay to shuffle things around, but you need to be aware of the time blocks that you are trying to push back. I often do this with things that scare me or I don’t like doing. But, once you’ve decided that they’re important, you can’t keep postponing it! So be firm yet stay flexible. | <urn:uuid:28903989-5d8e-4872-bd09-ffadf634ebba> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://sandravanderlee.com/tips/time-blocking-google-calendar | 2019-05-26T13:05:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259177.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526125236-20190526151236-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.920418 | 520 | [

Young Torontonians are flocking to the St. Clair West neighbourhood, reinvigorating the area and creating a distinct urban character.
Need proof? Just look at the burgeoning foot traffic along St. Clair West. People making tough decisions about which awesome cafe to grab a seat at and which specialty boutique to check out — it’s a great place to be, whether you’re spending the afternoon in the neighbourhood or you call the area home.
The folks over at Reserve Properties agree wholeheartedly, especially the part about calling the area home. That’s why they’ve chosen the southeast corner of St. Clair West and Bathurst as the new location for RISE Condominiums, a 25 storey project with 320 units.
Suites start from the low $200,000s and residents will have access to an incredible 18,000 square feet of amenities.
“We wanted to give RISE that sexy hotel vibe and provide an opportunity for the neighbourhood to have the pizazz and wow factor without having to go live on King West,” said Shane Fenton, VP of Reserve Properties.
Well Shane, upon reading up about the amenities, sounds like it’s mission accomplished.
An infinity pool soars above the St. Clair escarpment and offers tremendously tantalizing views of downtown Toronto. Swanky! RISE‘s outdoor terrace features an awesome entertainment space with dining and cooking areas, fire pits and private cabana lounges.
Graziani + Corazza Architects are handling RISE‘s design. A Mondrian inspired pattern will rise up its facade and, according to lead architect Enzo Corazza, “a distinct weave of horizontal and vertical white bands will highlight the intersection and add a contemporary dialogue to the neighbourhood’s burgeoning urban character.”
Moving inside, RISE‘s grand lobby will appeal to a luxurious aesthetic by incorporating contemporary chandeliers, bronze details, lacquered woods and polished chrome. Sophisticated? You bet!
Adeptly handling the interiors is Toronto design community mainstay II By IV Design Associates. Speaking of the project, Dan Menchions explains that “this project will set the precedent for future development in the neighbourhood, and it will be a statement piece for where design is heading not just in Toronto but also internationally.”
Lofty goals but considering what we’ve read about the project so far, this seems completely spot on. We’re definitely looking forward to hearing more about this one as fresh info travels down the pipeline. We’ll keep you updated so don’t forget to check back soon for all the latest buzzbuzz.
RISE offers studios and one to two bedroom suites ranging from 437 to 865 square feet. The marketing centre will open in mid-November and is located at 501 St. Clair Avenue West.

KRISTIN DUKE, NEW YORK INSTITUTE OF PHOTOGRAPHY:
"Whether during traditional holidays or a spontaneous visit, family gatherings create memories of time spent together.
"I want my children to have fond memories of visits with our extended family. I love them so much, and I want my kids to love them, too. My brother always jokes with me that if we don't have a picture of it, it's like it never happened. Well, that may not be entirely true, but a vast majority of my childhood memories are from pictures that remind me, or emblazon that memory deeper into my brain. So, yes, I want my kids to remember the importance of getting together with family and how good it feels, so it's important to me to document those times.
"When we get together as a family, I am generally the documentarian. I like to remember details, and I capture our family gatherings from a storytelling perspective. I think about what I want to remember in 20 years and what I want my kids to remember when they are older. Here are some tips on how to capture family gatherings as a storyteller."

Long-term Analysis of Bedform Stability using acoustic data in the German Bight
Detailed sediment classification maps of the German North Sea have been produced by the AMIN I project, which provides information on sediment distribution offshore. However, sediment dynamics may affect the temporal validity of the maps; hence it is necessary to determine and measure the extent of sediment stability. Evaluation of bedforms can provide information on the hydrodynamic and geological conditions that control the pattern of sediment distribution offshore. Specifically, bedforms can determine the direction of sediment transport, flow depth, strength of the current, and grain-size distribution. In this regard, the objective of this study is to conduct a longterm analysis of bedform stability using acoustic data in the German Bight. In particular, we aim to: (1) quantify the rate of movement of bedform boundaries; (2) determine and measure erosional and depositional areas; and (3) identify areas that are highly exposed to sediment variabiltiy and the causes of change. Combination of backscatter images from sidescan sonar and bathymetric data from multibeam echosounder will be utilised for the analyses. Results gathered will be used to determine the temporal validity of sediment maps that were produced by the AMIN I project. | <urn:uuid:cf9f3716-c428-480d-b4d7-be0e3ba4d3cc> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.awi.de/forschung/biowissenschaften/oekologie-der-kuesten/arbeitsgruppen/ag-kuestengeologie/labs.html | 2019-05-21T21:31:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256571.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521202736-20190521224736-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.905534 | 264 | [

John Corey is the most wonderful serial character I’ve encountered in contemporary novels. Corey is a former NYPD detective – shot thrice and retired early on partial disability – who joins the Anti-Terrorism Task Force, which is Nelson DeMille’s fictionalized but impeccably researched version of the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Corey fights crime and international terror plots and has a wonderful time, in his entertaining, amusing, idiosyncratic way. Anyone who has a tendency to bend rules and get into trouble on a more or less continual basis will quickly grow fond.
Radiant Angel is the seventh – and may be the last – novel in this series. DeMille has been deliberately ambiguous about whether Corey will ride again. I believe that he will, because it’s unlikely DeMille will be satisfied with his latest effort. It is very good and extremely exciting. But it does not have the effortless effervescence of the best Corey books. Corey’s humor – the staple of his personality – is a little more strained and less successful than usual. The plot is inventive and genuinely worrying. But it is not as thorough or involved as it could be. The novel itself is only about half the length of the previous Corey book, and suggests the author’s enthusiasm for his longest-lived and most lovable character is waning.
Of the Corey series, the three that deal most imaginatively and viscerally with Islamic terrorism – The Lion’s Game (2000), The Lion (2010) and The Panther (2012) – are the best. By which I mean to say the old saw about not being able to put down the book is literally true. DeMille at his best is as exciting as print can be. His talent for the bullets-flying time-running-out action scene is unique. His pacing is unparalleled. And these aren’t toss-away airport-thrillers: They can be reread and re-enjoyed, which is part due to the vivacity of the characters and part due to DeMille’s extraordinary diligence working out his plot and researching his environment. I hate to use the expression “thought-provoking,” but that’s exactly what these novels are.
Read the first of the series – Plum Island (1997) – and you’ll want to read them all, this one included. But Radiant Angel does not feel like an appropriate end-cap to so fine a story. Even in terms of John Corey’s love-life, things are not left at a satisfactory stopping point – or at any rate not an adequately stable one. This book is a scherzo, not a finale. I don’t think Nelson DeMille is nearly finished with John Corey – in fact, I’d say the best Corey novel is yet to come. At any rate, this isn’t it.

"Detail" view gone! You can no longer see a full graph display of stocks in a portfolio! Another great feature removed in this "downgrade"!!
Please return this feature to YAHOO Finance! Please
Robert S Fried commented
I've commented on this several times in thepast - the "old" detailed view of one year charts for each symbol in a portfolio is an extremely powerful tool. Please bring it back.
C Wagner commented
Detail view was the only really useful display: com[act, succint, almost all the information necessary to assess a holding. A list of symbols previously returned a series of Detail views for each one.
Now, because clickbaiting has taken priority over quality, this feature has been removed. One can only hope that the new owner of Yahoo cleans house and puts things back to a proper and responsive state.
What a disappointment!
Yahoo tech: please bring back detailed view for portfolios.
The MOST useful display that Yahoo Finance has ever had, is now gone, in the New World.
This is a monumental error. Please put it back.
And, for that matter, give up on this new format disaster. It isn't worth the effort to tinker with, re-test, and re-deploy.

2. Continuous Improvement
3. Add Customer Value
In this article we will dig deep into the pillar of eliminating waste.
Determined to climb
In our component company we seem to have a never ending mountain of waste that we need to eliminate.
It is everywhere!
Thankfully, we are starting to get buy-in from all the troops, which accelerates the improvement process. We are very early on in our LEAN journey so I speak from experience when I say that it is tough looking up and not seeing the top.
We could argue that in a true LEAN culture that there is no top, but basically the top is the part where everything is dialed in. The top is where you can make those minor, tiny tweaks that make a process as close to perfect as possible.
We are not anywhere near that point yet, but I can tell you that being even a fourth of the way up the mountain is a whole lot better, and a whole lot more profitable, than being at the bottom. That's why we choose to push thru and keep climbing until we reach the top.
If you are sick of waiting at the bottom of the mountain, start your climb to LEAN today with the tips below.
How do you climb a mountain?
One step at a time.
That’s it. Pick a line and go for it.
If you don’t start, then you will never get there. For me starting was easy, but as we created those early peaks and got a few easy wins, it seemed we started to slacked off a bit. That’s fine I think. To me, it is normal to back off a bit sometimes so you don’t burn everyone around you out.
Breathe then Walk
Take a deep breath and enjoy the mini wins along the way. Then jump right back on the trail and get to walking again.
For us, we had a major win when we got our conveyors and buffers established and started to see some good flow. The mood of the shop changed and now it seems that everyone is eager to tackle the next thing.
Pick the next thing
How do you cherry pick the projects to eliminate waste when there are so many of them to choose from?
Our laundry list is no doubt ridiculously long but generally it is easy to pick our next area of improvement. We just look at where the trouble area is or bottleneck.
For example, our drawer area was starting to lag behind and we could not figure out why. After a short session it was easy to see the problem. Drawer parts were being cut on the CNC, which means they were mixed among other parts in the job. So the parts were coming off sporadically and generally toward the end of the nest. On top of that, the small parts were having a hard time staying down on the machine, resulting in defective parts that had to be recut.
After little contemplation we (myself and the employees in the drawer cell) decided to start bringing in pre made drawer stock and taking it off the CNC all together. The result was an immediate turnaround of that cell and now schedule will no longer be an issue.
That one example was about a 3 day implementation that will require a 1 day tune up in the upcoming weeks.
So, to pick your next thing ask yourself, “What is the one process that can be improved RIGHT NOW that would have the greatest amount of impact?” Pick the one you want and focus with laser intensity until it is fixed.
No more band aids
The trick in the LEAN process is to always maintain forward momentum on your climb. There is no doubt you will hit setbacks but push thru and go to the next item and just stay the course to eliminate waste.
In order to truly stay the course, Band Aid fixes need to be eliminated from the vocabulary.
This mindset must be instilled in all the employees as well. Band aid fixes are things like getting a machine running for now instead of fixing it properly, not doing maintenance on regular intervals, skipping steps on rushed jobs to make a schedule.
The list goes on and we have all done bad aids but the practice must be eliminated if you expect to pursue perfection.
Start Your Climb today
How are you going to attack your mountain? What is your first project?

A Personal View, by Head Gardener Ray Abraham
When the position of head gardener at Leonardslee became available I knew I had to go for the job.
I first came here in 1977 with Sir Eric Saville and John Bond from Windsor Great Park and met the Loder family. A tour around the garden made a big impression on me as it seemed similar to the Valley Gardens at Windsor, which are very impressive too.
The gardens at Leonardslee continue to fascinate me because of the incredible amount of history. Also the amount of work that it took for the Victorian plant hunters to create these incredible woodland gardens, Grade I Listed.
They now need to be kept and preserved not only for future generations to see but because of the botanic value of these plants in a world that unfortunately is destroying habitat on a global scale.
We need to keep these wonderful gardens and their collections so that nothing is lost in the plant kingdom and future generations can marvel at the extraordinary lengths people went to, to retain the beauty of flowers that are so important to us all.
This is still in my view the best example of a Victorian woodland gardens in this country.
These gardens have immense value in the education of new generations of horticulturists. They offer a unique opportunity to learn about not only the plants and where they came from but also the history behind them.
I can see in the future that examples of these plants may well be used in restocking areas of the world where they were native and have sadly become extinct.
The Rock Garden is one of the finest examples of James Pulham’s work in any of the great Victorian estates. Very few of this size and magnificence have lasted.
This one is particularly well preserved. The plants have rooted into the crevices and over the rocks in a spectacular way. What made it especially difficult for us to restore the garden was the sheer volume of plants in the rockery. We had to make the often painful decision of which ones to cut out and which ones to leave, in case they go on to threaten other flora.
Hard choices were made in order to keep the best. Some have grown through the manmade rock and this made it difficult to remove them and prune them back.
Restoring a garden of this kind is so difficult as many of the plants have grown into each other. Some cast shade on smaller plants and we have to make the choice of which ones to leave and which to cut down.
Much of the undergrowth was dead and many plants had single stems up to 20 feet in length that had to be pruned so as to induce growth lower down the stem to a more manageable level; this is ongoing and will take years to work as it can only be done gradually.
Many trees had branches that had to be lifted as they were creating too much shade - and in doing this work the plants will flower so much better.
Endangered plants that are flowering include Rh Strigillosum, Rh Aberconwayi, Rh Beanianum, Rh Barbatum species Smithii and Argipeplum, Rh Arboreum, Album Rh Macabeanum, Rh Sherriffii, Rh Packysanthum, Rh Calophytum variety Jinfluense and Pauciflorum in the garden - the other endangered ones are due to flower until May.
We are going to have a programme of hand pollinating plants to collect pure seeds in the Autumn. The way this is done is by using pollen from the flowers of the same plant that have not been pollinated by insects using a small paint brush; then very carefully taking the stamens away and the petal part of the flower and leaving just the stigma that the insects are not interested in, as there is no flower and the seeds are collected later.
This process can be used for Hybridising by using the pollen from two different species; it is long term but is so exciting as you never know what will happen until the actually flower. This is what I enjoy the most, creating new life. We have already taken cuttings from some of the rarer plants and some have rooted. The old Alpine house is where we are propagating these cuttings.
In my career I have hybridised and created many new flowers but never put new names to them, usually it has been for my own pleasure - I always use Species as they tend to make stronger colours and the plants seem to be more resilient.
At Minterne I used the technique of Micropropagation; it uses test tubes in a controlled environment, which is a quicker way as you can flower the plants using plant hormones in the tube. If it is not the hybrid you are after then you can start again. It take months rather than years to work.
To create one for Penny Streeter, I will use Rh Augustinni which is blue and a Rh fragrantissimum white with pink tinge, which also has a wonderful perfume. The best way to understand hybridizing is to see it being done.

Their challenge theme is Summer Fun ... summer, 4th of July, picnics, camping, ice cream. Well of course my mind went straight to popsicles, so I decided to use the adorable For You Anya by The Greeting Farm. I started my card by stamping popsicles on a piece of cardstock and then I colored them with copics. Then I stamped Anya and colored her with copics too. Since my background paper seemed a little busy with all the popsicles, I kept the rest of my card clean and simple.

"I'm not a hero!" - The Doctor
[Caution: may contain spoilers]
7/10. TL;DR: The Doctor is not always right. Fortunately, this time, it wasn't catastrophic. It was kinda funny, actually. But somehow there was never any real sense of danger, making it a bit harder to care.
Sometimes, a story that occurs on the early side of a major series change (or the early side of a new series) shows hallmarks of having been written based on a bible rather than based on direct interaction with the regular staff. The prototype for this phenomenon is probably Harlan Ellison's famous original script for "The City on the Edge of Forever".
This story has something of that feeling. Mark Gatiss is trustworthy enough to turn in a decent and entertaining story, regardless, but it feels just slightly...wrong. Maybe it was just a deliberate change of tone, but it doesn't feel like it progresses naturally from the first two episodes. It feels like Moffat told his mate Gatiss, "This is what the new Doctor's like; you know what Clara's like; this is the general theme we're persuing this season (deconstructing heroes and heroism); go to town."
The good news is, when Gatiss goes to town, he has fun with it. The key premise to this story is not really about the robots or even Robin Hood; it's about the Twelfth Doctor's own preconceptions about legends, despite having been one to many people himself. Perhaps because.
It is somewhat odd that, in all his many years of travel--particularly since he reached the point where he could actually control his destination--he's never investigated legends like this before. You would think that, having immersed himself in human culture for 2000 years, curiosity would have already driven him to actually look into these things.
Even leaving that aside, however, the Doctor's insistence that Robin Hood never really existed is strident to the point of embarrassing. It's only value is to set up the the point that the Doctor doesn't really believe in himself, at least, not as a legendary figure, and his disbelief in Robin Hood is an externalization of that.
Meanwhile, the good news is that Clara continues to be a much more interesting character with a Doctor she's not comfortable with. I don't think this Doctor is wrong any more often than his predecessor, but his attitude leads Clara to actually question him more often, which in turn is leading her to taking more direct action.
I have a theory that Moffat actually has something of a crush on Clara, the character (not necessarily on the actress -- I'm not suggesting anything untoward here), and that a lot of what he's doing to make the Doctor less sympathetic has been specifically to make this change in Clara. He wants her to be a more interesting, more forward character, but the only way to do that, frankly, is to de-emphasize the Doctor himself.
This is actually the way the earliest days of the classic series worked. The Doctor was merely the catalyst for getting Ian, Barbara, and Susan into crazy situations from which they, with or despite the Doctor, had to extricate themselves, and sometimes grudgingly him. This changed when the Doctor became the much younger, much more active Patrick Troughton, and from that point until relatively recently, companions have mainly existed to hold the Doctor's test tubes, ask the right questions, and tell him how clever he is.
While I approve of making the companion less of a cypher, I'm not sure I like the fact that they're doing it at the Doctor's expense, which this story does a lot. Oh, the Doctor gets to save the day, but he's doing it almost by accident, while Clara, with less need to prove her hero the Earl of Loxley is a fake, is more actively trying to figure out what's really going on (and succeeding well).
Despite these misgivings, this story gets a slightly higher mark than its predecessors, because it's a little more coherent. Gatiss has an easier time apparently actually focusing on a single set of ideas and working them through than Moffatt does. There are holes, of course, but overall the story feels more coherent than its predecessors. And it's definitely more downright fun.
All in all, I have to say I don't think this season is getting off to the strongest start it could have. The Twelfth Doctor hasn't turned me off yet but I'm still not quite sure what's motivating him. Maybe that mystery is a good thing, but eventually we'll need to get to the bottom of it. Sooner rather than later. | <urn:uuid:6f71e968-4a7e-4622-9b68-60c22a5e9888> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://radiofreetomorrow.org/t/doctor-who-s8e3-robot-of-sherwood/70 | 2019-05-25T12:14:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232258003.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525104725-20190525130725-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.982866 | 980 | [

No, not at a public auction. The public auction requires your presence, or that of your representative, to verbally bid on the properties. Anyone wishing to bid on tax sale properties being offered the day of sale must be registered prior to bidding.
No. Legal title to a tax-defaulted property subject to the Tax Collector’s power to sell can be acquired only through the Treasurer-Tax Collector by being the successful bidder at the tax sale, and by paying the full purchase amount, including the Documentary Transfer Tax.
Vacant or “Unimproved” land has no address or “situs” location and “Improved” properties may bear a street address. For your information, maps showing the general location or dimension of all parcels for sale may be purchased through the Office of the Assessor. For map questions only, please contact the Assessor at (714) 834-2727.
Payment must be made in cash (US currency only limited to $10,000) or a state or federally chartered bank-issued cashiers check made payable to the County of Orange. No other forms of payment are accepted, including personal checks, money orders, business checks, traveler’s checks or credit cards. You must have the required payment in proper form with you before you bid on any property at the tax sale. Payment must be made immediately upon being awarded the successful bid.
All successful bids must be paid in full. Immediately after the bid is declared successful, the purchaser must go directly to the cashier to make payment. All payments must be in the form of cash (US currency only limited to $10,000) or a state or federally chartered bank-issued cashiers check (payable to the County of Orange). No other forms of payment will be accepted. The deposit will be applied to the final bid purchase price. If there is an overpayment of the final amount due, a refund will be made by the Auditor-Controller.
A successful bidder who does not have sufficient funds to pay for his or her purchase cannot complete the transaction and will be disallowed from participating in all other bids that day. The bidder’s deposit may also be forfeited, along with any rights the bidder may have in the property, and the property will be immediately re-offered for sale.
The successful bidder may take possession of a property after making payment in full and after the Tax Deed to Purchaser has been recorded, which is generally within a few days of the tax auction.
State law requires that the minimum bid on a tax-defaulted parcel offered at a public auction for the first time be no less than the total amount necessary to pay all of the delinquent taxes on the parcel plus the costs of conducting the sale. In addition, the winning bidder will be also required to pay a Documentary Transfer of $.55 per $500 of sales price.
The deadline is 5:00 p.m. on the last business day prior to the scheduled Property Tax Auction.
Tax Auctions occur annually.
The Treasurer requires all prospective purchasers to register and be assigned a bidder card number. A $5000 deposit in the form of a state or federally chartered bank-issued cashiers check (payable to the County of Orange) is required at the time of registration.
The Treasurer will refund all deposits for bidders that do not purchase any properties immediately after the tax auction is concluded at the Office of the Treasurer-Tax Collector.
This means that the item has been redeemed (paid in full) or withdrawn prior to the sale.
No bids are allowed below the Minimum Bid unless a property has been offered for sale at least once, no acceptable bids have been received, and the Treasurer-Tax Collector elects to offer that property at a reduced minimum bid.
You may inquire at the Office of the Orange County Clerk-Recorder at 12 Civic Center Plaza, Room 101 in Santa Ana or call them at (714) 834-2500. In addition, you can search their website using the Online Grantor/Grantee Index Search for possible liens.
Pursuant to Section 3712 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, tax deeds convey title to the purchaser free of all prior encumbrances (mortgage liens, judgment creditors, etc.) of any kind EXCEPT liens specified by Section 3712, Lis Pendens actions and any Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) liens that, pursuant to provisions of federal law, are not discharged by the sale, even though the Tax Collector has provided proper notice to the Internal Revenue Service before that date. (IRS liens will be announced at the time of the tax sale.) You will need to research liens on the properties to determine if the properties are encumbered in any way. Payment of the bid amount at a tax-defaulted public auction may or may not discharge these types of obligations.
Properties may be removed for various reasons, including, but not limited to: payment of the delinquent taxes, bankruptcy filings, and problems with the notification to parties of interest in compliance with Revenue and Taxation Code section 3701.
It is recommended to delay any improvement on the property for a one-year period from the date the tax deed is recorded. The owner and/or a lienholder has one year to initiate proceedings to challenge the validity or irregularity of the tax sale. | <urn:uuid:540c4596-2d5e-4ac4-9bf3-f5f806b54571> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.ttc.ocgov.com/proptax/infofaq/faq/saleauc | 2019-05-25T11:13:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232258003.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525104725-20190525130725-00316.warc.gz | en | 0.937143 | 1,113 | [

A superb allround performance from BBC reporter Phil Mackie wasn't quite enough to prevent a Cricket Without Boundaries XI falling to a five run defeat to an England Women's XI at Arundel.
The newshound – famed for his heart-rending CWB documentary recorded in Rwanda and Kenya last year– took three wickets, a run out and finished on 36 not out as the charity just failed to reach their target of 128 in a close-fought encounter.
One of the things that most CWB volunteers experience is the inevitable obsession with Africa and the countries that they visited.
In the case of our long serving volunteer Veronika Reeves this obsession produced her debut novel Wrapped in a blue kikohi.
Long time volunteer and social media guru David Terrace reflects on what proved to be another successful training weekend for CWB.
After a superb day losing (marginally) to England Women at a picturesque Arundel, the CWB team thought that things could not get much better at the Autumn 2013 Training Day in Brighton. They were wrong; they did.
The picturesque Arundel Castle Cricket Ground will play host to a Twenty20 match between CWB celebrity XI and an ECB Women’s select XI, on Friday 13th September.
The match will see current and future England stars take on a CWB team to include former Notts player Darren Bicknell, radio 5 live's Phil Mackie, Keane's Tim Rice Oxley and former England Captain Clare Connor.
When we were first setting up CWB in 2004, we were reliant on the goodwill of people we had never met, and their belief that CWB was more than a flash in the pan.
Our first steps into Kenya were made through the Foreign Office and a link to Adrian Radcliffe who is involved with the Nomads, a cricket club which, amongst other things, plays charity matches in the Rift Valley in Kenya to raise money for local good causes.
Cricket Without Boundaries are pleased to announce that members of the team will be appearing live in the studio on Sky Sports programme Cricket AM on 27th July.
The popular cricket show, now in its eighth season, is filmed live on Saturday mornings from 8.30-10.30am.
Gary is a 34 year old Insolvency Practitioner who, on a day-to-day basis, works with investors/management of businesses in financial distress. Gary admits that whilst being a lifelong cricket fanatic his skill levels have sadly never quite matched his enthusiasm for the game! Gary played for a village side for a number of years as an average leg spinner and useful tail-end blocker, but these days is generally limited to one or two guest appearances each year.
Cricket Without Boundaries will be showcasing the unique way it uses cricket to deliver HIV/AIDS awareness messages at the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2013 which is scheduled to be held from 6 to 23 June in Birmingham, Cardiff and The Oval.
Volunteers from the charity will deliver coaching sessions to local schoolchildren at the Oval on 5 June and then again at Cardiff Wales Stadium on 8 June, with the first match of the tournament, between India and South Africa is scheduled for 6 June in Cardiff.
As the Premier League football season closes, attention (in the UK at least) turns to cricket for the next few months with England playing New Zealand and Australia in Test matches this summer, along with the ICC Champions trophy.
So with cricket enjoying the media spotlight, it is as a good a time as ever to update you with what CWB has been up to for the first part of this year.
CWB are delighted to announce that we have been chosen as the Charity of the year by two organisations.
North Nibley Cricket Club, situated on the edge of the Cotswolds, have chosen CWB to raise funds for projects in Africa. Andy Kinnear said "As a club we were looking for a way in which we could partner with clubs in the developing world. During this search I came across the work of CWB and was immediately struck by the real difference they are making in Africa. There is a lot of enthusiasm to support CWB in our club, and we are looking forward to get started with our fundraising efforts". It is also hoped that members of the club will volunteer on future volunteer projects.
'A-B-C', the mantra that will have left an indelible mark on the memory of every CWB volunteer past or present. 'A' of course stands for 'Abstain', 'B' for 'Be faithful to one partner' and 'C' which is articulated as 'use protection'. At CWB the protection referred to is specifically 'condoms' though elsewhere it has been replaced with 'circumcision'.
CWB volunteers can now donate an unlimited amount of cricket equipment to people in developing countries thanks to a new partnership with LV= SOS Kit Aid.
At the click of a button people can arrange to have their old kit picked up from their home, school or club and delivered to places all over the world including CWB project countries Botswana, Cameroon, Kenya and Uganda.
Laura a first time CWB volunteer reflects on her CWB experience, an amazing two weeks spent in Northern Uganda.
After a cold beer in the hotel in Arua, my excitement levels were running high. I could tell from the faces of the other Cricket Without Boundaries (CWB) volunteers that they were feeling the same. The beer was well deserved as the journey didn't get off to a great start. Two hours in to a ten hour bus ride to our hotel a police officer confiscated our license plates and sent us off to a garage over the road to fix a wheel alignment issue. While waiting we were approached by market sellers offering a range of produce; from straw hats to mangoes... definitely an introduction to Africa! | <urn:uuid:a1d92a8f-4e64-4c0d-a61b-7eff0eff006a> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://cricketwithoutboundaries.com/news?limit=15&start=60 | 2019-05-26T15:57:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259316.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526145334-20190526171334-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.97199 | 1,214 | [

After being victims of a loss, the members of the board of directors and the affected co-owners are often caught off guard. How will things unfold? There is no need to worry or panic, because in principle, once the notice of loss completed, various stakeholders get involved: the insurer of the syndicate, but also that of co-owners and lessees, who will respectively designate their own claim adjuster. Generally the co-owners affected by a loss, as well as the syndicate, believe that making a claim is always the right thing to do. This is true in many cases, but sometimes the syndicate might want to refrain from doing so.
Declaring the claim: an obligation?
Even though many directors or managers still wonder about the obligation, or not, to declare a loss affecting the common and privative portions, take note that article 2470 of the Civil Code of Québec gives an unequivocal answer on this subject: "The insured shall notify the insurer of any loss which may fall under the coverage, as soon as he becomes aware of it. In other words, a loss –even negligible- must be declared to the insurer of the syndicate, insofar as the damages is covered.
Declaring the claim: consequences?
For many insured, the notice of loss will inevitably lead to a premiums and deductibles increase. Currently, no one can say with certainty that declaring a claim to their insurer - without making a claim - will increase the premium and deductible. Thus the board of directors must consult its damage insurance broker or agent. He will thus be able to inquire about the policies of the insurer in such circumstances. The best is to ask at the occasion of the renewal of the insurance policy, or at subscription with a new insurer.
Not declaring the loss: consequences?
It is risky not to report a loss, because the insurer might consider - should it later find out - that the insured is in bad faith. It would therefore be justified to resiliate or not to renew the insurance policy. The insurer could also set up, against the insured, any clause of the policy providing for forfeiture of the right to indemnity, insofar as he can prove that he has suffered injury.
To claim or not to claim? A new choice
Is it still always appropriate to submit a claim to the insurer for damage to the immovable, if the cost to repair it is slightly higher than the amount of the deductible? This the sixty four thousand dollar question. In this regard, the legislator introduced an innovative provision, pursuant to an amendment to the Civil Code of Québec, resulting from Bill 141 (sanctioned June 13, 2018). The first sub-paragraph of article 1074.1 of the Civil Code of Québec, which came into force on December 13, 2018, now provides the syndicate with the possibility of not claiming from its insurer for damage to the immovable. This liberty of choice may prevent an increase in premiums and insurance deductibles.
Filing a claim: the insurance indemnity and its purpose
In principle, an insured can do whatever he wants with the indemnity paid out by his insurer. However co-ownership is an exception to this rule with regard to the syndicate’s property insurance . Why? Because the law requires it to take out insurance covering the "replacement value" of the immovable. In other words, the indemnity paid out can only be used to repair the damaged premises, so that they are restored to their original state. In order to avoid any ambiguity in this respect, the legislator imposed on the syndicate to use of the indemnities paid to repair all the damages. This rule of law will be crystal clear as of June 13, 2021 at the latest, namely that the syndicate will have to take out insurance covering the "reconstruction cost" of the immovable.
Is it better not to make a claim?
Sometimes a claim will do more harm than good, given the long-term consequences it may have. And for good reasons, since the syndicate’s premiums and deductibles could increase, and not decrease for a long time. The syndicate may not want to make a claim to its insurer for damages caused by a loss, even if the amount to be paid for the repairs is higher than the deductible. This can happen, for example, if the deductible is $ 10,000 and the cost of the work is around $ 15,000. But before choosing this option, the board of directors must:
Abstaining from making a claim: the price to pay
If the syndicate decides not to claim an indemnity, it becomes, so to speak, its own insurer. For this reason, he must undertake the work itself (diligently), so that the affected common portions and private loss are repaired. The preparation of specifications will be necessary to determine the extent of the reconstruction work to be done, and to establish their cost. Depending on the magnitude of the damage involved, the services of a building professional may also be required, to assess the possible impact of the loss on the integrity of the immovable. In the end, the syndicate will have to assume the entire cost of the work (article 1074.1 of the Civil Code of Québec), with the exception of the cost associated with the added value resulting from the improvements made to the private portions.
Abstaining from making a claim because of the deductible: the consequences?
If the syndicate does not claim an indemnity for damage caused by a loss, because of a deductible higher than the cost of repair work to be done, the law does not formally compel it to diligently undertake the repairs of the damaged private portions. Does that necessarily mean, however, that it is exempted from this obligation? We do not believe so, because article 1071.1 of the Civil Code of Quebec will require the syndicate, no later than June 13, 2022, to set up a self-insurance fund intended, inter alia, to pay the deductibles of the insurance subscribed by the syndicate. Therefore, a syndicate of co-owners could hardly allege that it is not compelled, from a financial standpoint, to assume the repair costs (not assumed by the insurer) of the common and private portions.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW! In the occurrence of a loss in a co-ownership, the self-insurance fund will be used to pay the syndicate's deductible, as well as the repairs of damage caused to property in which it has an insurable interest. This will be the case if the contingency fund or an insurance indemnity cannot provide for it, for example in the case of an insurance limit, of underinsurance or of an exclusion.
WHAT TO KEEP IN MIND: When renewing the insurance contract, insurers evaluate the frequency of losses and claims for a given co-ownership, to establish the amount of the premium and of the deductible.
WARNING! As a director, How can you establish if you should make a claim (or not) under the syndicate’s insurance? To make a sound decision, you must get an estimate of the cost of the repair work to be carried out. Only then can you decide if the financial risks are worth it.

9 DIYs for Your Vacation Home
You want your vacation home to be as aesthetically pleasing and comfortable as possible. After all, this is your remote getaway to escape the hassles of everyday life. Fortunately, there are a few DIY projects that can transform your vacation home into the dream getaway you've always wanted. Whether it’s making the outdoors a space to enjoy or remodeling the shower, here are nine DIYs for your vacation home.
1. Install Dimmers for Ambiance and Money Savings
Updating the lighting in your vacation home can lead to a more enjoyable and relaxing stay. Add lighting in areas that are too dark to help illuminate spaces and install dimmer switches in areas where you may need less intense lighting. Not only will this improve your visibility at all hours of the day or night, but lighting fixtures like dimmers will also save you money in the long run.
2. Create New Curb Appeal With Paint and Plants
The front door is a big part or the overall look of your vacation home. If your vacation getaway is hurting in the curb appeal department, consider updating the front door with new paint and complimentary hardware. You can also add address numbers above the door or a pot of flowers for an added touch.
3. Refresh Outdoor Furniture With Spray Paint
A new color of paint can do wonders for an outdoor space. If your outdoor furniture is old and in need of a makeover, consider spray painting it instead of purchasing something new. Spray painting can lead to surprising results and is less intensive than traditional painting or wood staining. Just make sure you clean the surface and apply a primer where necessary. You can also use chrome paint to improve the look of metal furniture.
4. Paint the Perimeters of Rooms
Painting rooms a new color is an obvious way to freshen up a home, but you can also breathe new life into a space by painting the floorboards and door jambs. These colors should complement the walls and ceilings. You might consider adding crown molding to some rooms to really liven up the place.
5. Build an Outdoor Towel Rack With PVC Pipe
If your vacation home is near a beach or has an outdoor pool, then finding a place to hang a towel outside can be an issue. Instead of hanging wet towels on any and every available space, construct a towel rack in a convenient location. You can build one of these handy devices with a few PVC pipes and connectors.
6. Freshen up the Shower on the Cheap
You want your vacation home to be as comfortable as possible, and few things are worse than an outdated shower. Instead of remodeling the entire bathroom, regrouting the shower can create a cleaner and healthier environment without breaking the budget. Also consider adding an energy efficient shower head to complete the project.
7. Soften Rooms With New Curtains
Adding new window treatments can completely transform a room. If your home has plastic blinds, then it’s probably time for replacements. Hanging curtains above the window frame is a great alternative to traditional blinds. They allow natural light inside during the day and create a softer look for the space. While you're at it, this is a good time to repaint or restain the window frame for a more completed look.
8. Frame the Bathroom Mirror
You can really improve the look of your bathroom by framing the mirror in wood. This is a simple process and you can paint or stain the wood frame any color you like. Use 1x4s for the wood frame and cut them to size using a hand saw with a miter box or a miter saw. Connect the pieces together with wood glue and staples and install around the mirror.
9. Adorn Cabinets With New Hardware
Adding new hardware to kitchen cabinets is a simple project that can add a really nice touch without breaking the bank. Updating hardware only takes a screwdriver and a bit of time, and will pay off in the long run. If you are feeling really ambitious, you can install soft-close hinges on cabinet and pantry doors. | <urn:uuid:4fd37115-4c53-47e4-ac16-508a8002cef6> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.doityourself.com/stry/9-diys-for-your-vacation-home | 2019-05-26T16:00:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259316.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526145334-20190526171334-00476.warc.gz | en | 0.930619 | 842 | [

In Review: My Thoughts
I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was when the ARC for Top Secret hit my Kindle. Separately, Sarina and Elle are two of my top fave authors. Together? They’re freaking magical. Their co-authored romances are at the top of my favorite m/m romance list. I’m thrilled — and totally unsurprised — to say Top Secret landed there, too.
Keaton and Luke were the freaking best. I loved these guys. I was a little unsure how the whole story would pan out, what with Keaton looking for a threesome for his girlfriend for her birthday and all. But it turns out I had absolutely no reason to worry. (Which, come on, I should’ve known. Sarina and Elle wouldn’t let me down.) From their initial messages to each other — which got SUPER HOT — to their discovery of each other’s identities and all that came after, I was here for it. Top Secret was funny, sexy, sweet and even knocked me in the feels a couple times.
I don’t read a ton of new adult OR m/m romance these days, but I will make an exception for this author duo any day of the week. Their characters and stories are just so flipping good. I didn’t want to stop reading Top Secret once I started. It was literally unputdownable. Keaton and Luke made me smile. Like, the entire time I was reading it. Or at least when I wasn’t blushing. 😂 Not to be a totally greedy reader (which I am), but I hope to see more of them in the future. I could easily see Top Secret as the kickoff to a new series… and I hope it is.
The whole setup is irresistible. Hot frat brother who wants to be fucked? They make gay porn like this because real life doesn’t actually work this way.
I’m just a guy, standing on a beach in nothing but his favorite pair of lobster shorts, waiting for the right man to love me.
Do you read m/m romance?

Wednesday, June 22 at 7 p.m. — CASTLETON — Award-winning storyteller Simon Brooks returns to Castleton Free Library to help celebrate the official start of summer in a free performance, part of the library’s “On Your Mark, Get Set, Read!” summer reading program. Brooks was born in Gloucestershire, England, and lived in Worcester, London, Brighton, and Hastings, settings that influenced his storytelling craft, before moving to the U.S. in 1994. His work as a storyteller and voice actor has won honors from Storytelling World and Parent’s Choice, including the latter’s prestigious Gold Award for his CDs. He has performed for all ages at libraries, schools, and festivals, combining his passions for children’s literature and folklore. His repertoire comes mainly from European folk and faerie tales, but Brooks also includes stories from other cultures. He explains, “Stories are like boots and like to travel.”
Karen Chace, organizer of Story Cafe, New Bedford, Mass., said:
“He is so at ease on stage and played with the audience along the way…I loved his version of ‘The Piper’s Revenge’, peppered with just enough historical background to put some more meat on the bones.”
Kim Rzemien, director of special events at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston wrote, “I’ve never seen kids (and adults) so engaged in a storytelling session.”

Recently I received a request from a reader of my blog. He was looking for tactics to help complete a project that had been on the back burner for years. The project is a writing project, and the questioner is fully capable of doing exactly what he wants to do. He can check this item off the bucket list with just a little concerted time and effort. Here’s his exact question:
What type of encouragement do you have for someone that has this innate desire to accomplish a task, but yet it seems life keeps getting in the way?
Is there something you want to do but feel like you don’t have the time? Here are six tactics to help motivate you to get going starting today.
- Get up. Every single person has the same amount of time in the day. Yet some people seem to accomplish more than others. One of the ways they do it is by getting up earlier in the morning. It can be very difficult for those who aren’t “morning people.” But if you promise yourself it’s just for a month or two while you accomplish an important task, it’s very doable.
- Stop wasting time. Do you watch TV after the kids go to bed? Turn it off and work on meaningful things instead. Are you spending time on Facebook or other social media? Start a timer and limit that kind of activity. Then use the rest of the time to work.
- Set manageable goals. If you’re a writer, set a goal of writing just 500 words per day. Sometimes it’ll be a struggle to write those 500 words. But other times you’ll get on a roll. When you do, keep going. The same applies for all kinds of other activities, too.
- Use the Pomodoro Technique. The Pomodoro Technique is, in a nutshell, doing a task for 25 minutes, then taking a short, three to five minute break. Do that four times in a row, and then take a fifteen to thirty minute break. You’ll be surprised how much this tactic will help you accomplish.
- Pray. Ask the Lord for more structured time in your life, more free time, and for the ability to juggle everything well and in good balance.
- Use a Deadline. Deadlines are powerful motivators. They are even more motivating when you tell someone else what your deadline is and ask them to hold you accountable.
Sometimes simple tactics used consistently can help you accomplish that one thing you’ve always wanted to. Try these six things and watch yourself do the thing you’ve wanted to do for months, or even years.
What tactics do you use to accomplish an important task? | <urn:uuid:405b8e42-bdd6-4b2e-ab2b-afdb30415942> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.tomeggebrecht.com/simple-tactics-life-keeps-getting-way/ | 2019-05-20T21:21:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256147.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520202108-20190520224108-00116.warc.gz | en | 0.954437 | 564 | [

CREATE A CHANNEL IN SLACK FOR YOUR PHONE CALLS
Firstly, I'd recommend you to create a Slack channel dedicated to your phone calls only. This way you have a better overview on what's going on in your Slack team and can easily manage your calls.
SET YOUR NOTIFICATION PREFERENCES
You should also have a look at your notification preferences for your phone channel. Click on the 'settings' symbol at the top of your channel and then on 'Notification preferences...'.
On this screen you can decide when and where you get notified about the channel's activities. You can either get notified about all new messages or just mentions. We mention your name when a new call comes in but if you want to get updated on all the activities in the phone channel, it is best to select "all new messages".
You can also go to 'Account Preferences' at the bottom of the options bar to have a more detailed overview about your notification settings. This is important to anyone who uses their phone for Yodel calls! When the 'Account Preferences'-bar opens, go to 'When I'm not active on desktop' and enable the option 'Send notifications to my mobile device as soon as I'm inactive'. | <urn:uuid:29780546-d434-4888-813c-8f8e26f826f7> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://help.yodel.io/support/solutions/articles/36000070727-slack-notifications | 2019-05-22T00:57:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256600.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20190522002845-20190522024845-00276.warc.gz | en | 0.922899 | 254 | [

NEW YORK — Forbes today announced the appointment of Jessica Sibley to the newly created role of Chief Sales Officer. In her new role, Jessica will oversee the entire experience for Forbes’ brand marketing partners, inclusive of sales, brand strategy, program services and licensing. The announcement was made by Forbes’ Chief Revenue Officer Mark Howard, who also unveiled an expanded role for Chief Marketing Officer Tom Davis.
A Forbes veteran, Sibley most recently served as Senior Vice President of Sales, where she directed the creation of unique and engaging campaigns for advertisers across nearly every industry.
Under her leadership, Forbes successfully recently introduced several innovations that have been well-received by the marketplace, including: fluid ad formats; prominent “hero” ads, which appear on Forbes’ premium article pages, and Premium Posts, long-form visual storytelling experiences that bring marketers’ brand messages to life. Sibley also established new opportunities around signature franchises, such as the Forbes 400, and introduced the first-ever title sponsor for the Under 30 Summit in Boston.
“Our trusted brand engages more people than ever before in its history across every platform,” Howard said. “Our sales and marketing organizations are constantly innovating and delivering strong value to existing and new clients, and Sibley has been instrumental in transforming sales into an idea-first organization. Under her leadership, we are creating high-touch campaigns that are unique to every advertiser and which are effective in helping them achieve their overall business goals.”
In announcing Sibley’s new role, Howard also noted other key appointments within the sales team. Sherry Phillips, a Forbes veteran, has been promoted to the position of Senior Vice President of Forbes LIVE, the company’s event and experiential platform with more than two-dozen signature franchises worldwide every year, including the Under 30 Summit, the Women’s Summit and Healthcare Summit. Phillips will work closely with the sales team to create unique and seamless opportunities for advertisers to engage in-person with coveted audiences at Forbes LIVE events. Additionally, Howard announced that Janett Haas and Kyle Vinansky will now oversee West Coast and East Coast/Midwest ad sales, respectively. Phillips, Haas and Vinansky report to Sibley.
In addition to the promotions in Sales, Howard announced that Forbes is re-imagining marketing under the leadership of Tom Davis, who has a proven track record of delivering successful partnerships with brands that deliver results. In addition to his role as CMO, Davis will work with all facets of the Forbes business to identify new opportunities to diversify the company’s revenue base and will focus on full-funnel marketing and lead generation for advertisers. In the coming weeks, under Davis’ leadership, Forbes also will unveil a global, mobile-first product that leverages Forbes’ vast premium video content that celebrates entrepreneurial capitalism.
“These enhancements across our sales, LIVE events and marketing areas will ensure that our powerful branded content programs continue to deliver results at levels that exceed our clients’ expectations,” Howard said.
The new storytelling techniques for marketers dovetail with a number of other Forbes initiatives, including the introduction of “Daily Cover Stories” from the editorial team, which offer in-depth reporting and analysis around key stories, including Dan Alexander’s investigative coverage of President Donald Trump trying and failing to get rich off of the presidency and Parmy Olson’s exclusive and timely story regarding WhatApps co-founder Brian Action’s decision to depart Facebook and leave $850 million on the table.
The new storytelling techniques for Forbes reporters and brand marketers is the result of a new website Forbes introduced in early July.
Last month, Forbes was named by Simmons Research as one of the most-trusted media brands in the country, well ahead of competitors. Through September, the most-recent month for which figures are available, the number of unique visitors to Forbes’ products online and on mobile has increased by 21 percent year over year, according to comScore. For the full 10 months of the year, traffic to Forbes is up 20 percent across all platforms compared to the same period in 2017.
About Forbes Media

Forbes convenes and curates the most-influential leaders and entrepreneurs who are driving change, transforming business and making a significant impact on the world.

Casually taken photo of handsome Italian resting on sidewalk steps
How could I just walk by and NOT take a quick snapshot of this cute Italian guy? (Don’t you agree Jade and Gracie?) He could wind up in one of my paintings someday. I see an angled composition with flattened shapes and crisp color.

Wrong camera setting captures unplanned action

Rainy Day Pink
Is this a photo about a cathedral or an umbrella?
They were aligned together on an overcast drizzly day in Florence Italy. This random pairing and neutral colored background of intricate stonework was a beautiful complement to the pink backlit color of the random umbrella. The overcast sky and rainsoaked stone highlighted the pink tones of the stone– which made the umbrella just pop as an accent color.

Last night my friend and I taught the two on-line Hebrew classes that we are taking over while our teacher/friend goes through a difficult time in her life. We reviewed foundational information with the classes so we could make sure they understand it before we move on. Even though my friend and I both feel more comfortable one-on-one than in a group, I think the classes went pretty well.
This last week has been so busy. Wednesday I went with EJ to the chiropractor. Thursday I went with him to the doctor. She is addressing his breathing problems. She gave him a stronger inhaler, and scheduled a stress test for him. Friday it was back to the chiropractor. EJ will return to the chiropractor on Monday. The chiropractor said it will take several visits to get his back in shape, and then EJ will have to return only occasionally for maintenance.
Early yesterday afternoon, after spending the night at home, we went to the campground to retrieve our RV. EJ was in great pain from his back, but I couldn’t drive both the RV and the car. We each have certain jobs when we arrive and depart in the campground. EJ’s jobs include placing the stabilizers, putting up the awning, and connecting the electricity, water, and cable–and undoing it. When we depart from a campground, I get everything else put away.
It was our first full day of camping at the campground near our home. It is VERY HOT and HUMID today. A local friend posted on Facebook that she had heard that the temperature in our area is about 93 but it feels like it’s 106 degrees. We have air conditioning in the RV, but we kept getting brownouts. Either the electrical demand is too much for the campground to handle in this heat, or our air conditioner is failing. Since the brownout occurred when just the fan was on, I think the problem is not with our air conditioner. I hope it isn’t.
Our desktop computer has been giving us the Blue Screen of Death with increasing frequency–sometimes two or three times a day.It also kept freezing temporily so we’d have to wait a few seconds or minutes for it to unfreeze–over and over gain. Very frustrating. So this morning we drove to Best Buy and bought a laptop computer. We’ve been talking about buying one for quite some time. We especially wanted to get one to use while we are RVing.
It’s really exciting–but also scarey–thinking about living full-time in an RV. Can we really do this? Do we really want to? I don’t know.
EJ and I have been considering, “What if we really do sell our house and RV full-time?” | <urn:uuid:8c0cc0ff-1e64-4f92-919e-f966fc1f70a3> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://kingdaughter.wordpress.com/tag/rv/ | 2019-05-23T05:24:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257100.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20190523043611-20190523065611-00436.warc.gz | en | 0.979327 | 591 | [

Potters for Peace Water Filter Project: Providing Clean Drinking Water
Every year 1.7 million people, mainly children under the age of five, die from diarrhea which is caused by unsafe water. The objective of the Potters for Peace Water Filter Project is to make safe drinking water available by helping set up workshops that will produce ceramic water filters made from local materials. These filters are low-tech and low-cost and eliminate approximately 99.88% of water-born disease agents.

TYM Brings 4K Home Cinema And Luxury Smart Home Technology To The 2015 Utah Valley Parade Of Homes
TYM has partnered with Handcrafted Homes and Candlelight Homes to integrate the very latest in smart home & home entertainment technology into their respective 2015 Utah Valley Parade of Homes entries.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH—We are pleased to announce that TYM (pronounced ‘time’), of Salt Lake City, Utah, has been selected by Handcrafted Homes and Candlelight Homes to bring the latest in home entertainment and professional smart home integration to their 2015 Utah Valley Parade Homes entries.
4564 North Ridge View Way, Lehi, Utah
‘The Entertainer’ by Handcrafted Homes is aptly named with entertainment and smart home systems that will delight family members and their guests. Technologies include a Savant 8-zone distributed audio system with frameless in-ceiling architectural speakers by TruAudio. This whole-home audio system allows for up to 8 different streams of music to be played to 8 different zones at the same time.
Savant video distribution allows for up to 8 video feeds, from cable, satellite, Apple TV, etc, to be switched to up to 8 different TVs. Video distribution not only centralizes video control, but its use of in-wall structural wiring eliminates ugly cable clutter. All 6 of this homes’ TVs are elegantly wall-mounted—with no visible wiring.
Not sure what to watch? A Savant SmartView video tiling system tiles up to 9 video feeds at once onto the same TV in multiple configurations. Watch ESPN and monitor business news—at the same time—while making breakfast. Lutron lighting control has been integrated allowing users to create ‘scenes’ for their daily activities.
There is no need to battle crowds, parking, and inconvenient starting times, when you have your very own state-of-the-art home cinema. This high-end system features a Wolf Cinema, limited edition, true 4K projector, which delivers 4 times the resolution of traditional 1080p HD, for a truly breathtaking picture. A 138” acoustically transparent, anamorphic widescreen, by Elite Screens, allows the front speakers to be placed behind the screen—closer to action. The 9.2 surround sound system is powered by an Anthem AV receiver with Paradigm CI Pro reference-level speakers—creating a soundscape so rich, it rivals many commercial cinemas. Universal remote control is by Savant. And theater Seating by Octane Seating makes everyone comfortable. Lastly, this ultimate home cinema has been fine tuned by TYM’s very own THX certified professional.
“Today’s home theater technology creates an experience that can even rival the local cineplex. Let TYM build an ultimate home cinema in your home—consultations and estimates are free.” — Matt Montgomery, President, TYM LLC.
Whole-home control is through Savant App, which allows users to control the home’s systems, in-home or remotely, from any mobile device including iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, or Android devices.

“Savant App is a game changer for home control. It’s a beautifully designed app, that’s intuitive, easy to use, and—reliable. Our clients love using it—and, they love showing it off .” — Matt Montgomery, President, TYM LLC.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question, What are you doing for others?" ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Alone we can do so little; together we do so much." ~Helen Keller
Fall seems to seep into the trees and and burst with vibrant color, almost suddenly and without warning. As Cam and Jane traveled down the driveway for the bus one morning, this maple tree appeared to have changed overnight.
During the week, we were planning Halloween costumes, a parade and coordinating our volunteers. As we prepared for our 3rd Halloween wheelchair costume project with Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, Cam busied himself in the evenings with organizing Jane's information for costumes and logistics and helping Chris figure out materials needed.
As a last minute necessity, our building location had to change. Thursday evening, our family headed off to Mary Free Bed to check out the space. Cam toured around noting different areas and suggesting where things should be staged. For the last two years, we've used an open space and this year, our environment was better suited with segmented areas for construction, painting and decorating.
For the next three Fridays and Saturdays, Cam's parents take on their volunteering job of costume coordination and building. Lucky for Chris and Jane, Auntie Karen and Ms. Ann were ready and willing to hang out with Cam all day Saturday. As per his typical routine, he completed school work and then the trio headed out for fall color tour and a stop at the Algoma Fire Dept where Ms. Ann's son, Christopher, is a fireman. They met a policewoman with her horse, saw the S.W.A.T. vehicle and looked at all of the fire trucks.
When they talked about how long they would be gone, the timeframe was an hour and a half, to which Cam said "you mean 90 minutes."
After a very long two days, Chris and Jane arrived home to enjoy a delicious Culver's dinner with Cam and Auntie Karen. We were grateful for Karen and Ann teaming up and to our son for being so good for them.
We know Cam is one of the best helpers around, along with Auntie Karen and Ms. Ann.
For this third year of our project, the helpers just keep coming- Owen-Ames Kimball construction company, GVSU engineering students and the many Mary Free Guild members and staff assisting.
As you look for the helpers, don't forget to be one :)
Every few months, we bring old electronics and computer parts to a computer recycling store.
Ms. Patti dropped off an older cell phone known as a flip-phone for our box. Cam noticed it the next morning.
"Mom, excuse me, but whose phone is that?!"
"Ms. Patti dropped it off for our computer recycle box."
"Oh, I was like 'who has this old-fashioned phone in our house?'" | <urn:uuid:ae7c772b-0ee9-4f8a-a43b-23b29e40612a> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.cweatherford.com/2018/10/look-for-helpers-week-of-oct-7th.html | 2019-05-24T12:14:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257605.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524104501-20190524130501-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.9667 | 600 | [

This weekend is the big “Get Outdoors Day” in Norway; the Norwegian Tourist Association’s national Outdoors Recreation Sunday – time to get up off the couch! In Oslo, the main event takes place at Sognsvann – a lake up in the mountain/forest 15 minutes from downtown by the tube. The whole idea and main goal is of course to motivate everyone to be more physically active and explore nature in your own neighborhood. The camp at Sognsvann has been held 20 years in a row – I was there with my wife and a friend and gladly invite you along to motivate you too:
This grand event gives everyone in Oslo a good opportunity to use nature in a healthy way. Outdoor activity is good for both physical and mental health. This annual outdoor camp is also of course an important carrier of the tradition of Norwegian leisure culture.
Sunday was the chance – for children all age – to try climbing, rowing, canoeing, fishing, orienteering, jumping – even skiing – and much, much more – free of charge! Skiing and Fishing Kiting and Swimming Canoeing and Climbing
Quality time with my wife:
I was there, all thanks to my wife. Struggling with my Parkinson – the uninvited guest in my body makes me stiff and hard to get going – it’s always easy to sit back in the couch and feel sorry for myself. However, to head out in the nature and get out of the patient role is the best way to charge my batteries – actually the best medicine too! So my dear Diane; Thanks for inviting me out and to share this nature in a quality time with me! The clean, fresh air – the scenery: is there any more recreational?
The summer in Norway is coming to an end but that isn’t the end of outdoor family fun. There are plenty of outdoor activities to do here all year round, and the Norwegian Outdoor Recreation Union does a great job of giving families plenty of inspiration for the seasons to come!
Social Media like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, LinkedIn, Google+ and of course “Blogging Connecting People”, is one of my sayings. I mean it opens up new ways to learn about other cultures, traditions and habits and then breaks down barriers the same way. Even more; it creates opportunities to make friends around the world and as a network evangelist, of course I love that. After almost 7 years of blogging, I have plenty of examples: Hosting the Oslo Blog Gathering in 2010 with about 30 participants from all over the world was of course an experience of a life time (photo on top is from the grand opening at the town hall) and after that traveling to Lisbon to visit Helena at Lelé Batita and Luis , the Portugal’s representatives.
For me Connecting People and Meet Up adventures actually started even before that; in France when Claudie and Pierre invited not only my wife and I, but another blog couple from Norway and a couple from Sweden as well. We had a jolly good time and photos tell more than a thousand words; so here is a collage from that week:
The hosts gave us a taste of France cuisine every day – we was at a jazz concert in their local town and we visited the beach at Bandol, in Marseilles and Toulouse.
Her are my posts from this wonderful week in France 2009:
You might have guessed why I put up this post right now? Yea; Blogging is still Connecting and gives the opportunities to meet up: We are meeting up with Claudie and Pierre again this week and are so much looking forward to seeing them again. So stay tuned, I will of course post about it when I get home and in the mean time you can follow us daily on Facebook!
Oslo Blog Gathering; A guided adventure in Oslo, the capital of Norway, to explore the city with our history, culture and traditions – 19th to 21st of August 2010 – was a thrill of a lifetime! A dream came true for me and good blog and social media friends from all over the world. The idea – after many requests in comments and mails – was to give everyone in Blogosphere a chance to come and see some of the attractions presented on this blog over the years. It was a perfect match to one of my sayings: “Blogging Connecting People” and a proof of what networking is all about: “A Givers Gain”.
To me this gathering was an ultimate outcome of sharing from Oslo and Norway. Today I want you to join me and take a look back and reminisce over the amazing time we had.
Thanks to First Hotel Millennium we had a centrally located hub to meet up each day before our adventures. We thought we might be relaxing there in the evening but every single day things took off and we dragged ourselves in to the hotel totally exhausted and often quite late ; -) Never a dull moment and no time to waste at OsloBG!
The hotel manager and staff met with us several times throughout the planning process and helped us with setting up, tourist information, and an area to meet up and plan our daily adventures. Every time I pass by First Hotel Millennium now I think of our OsloBG and what a wonderful time we had.
VisitOSLO was an important associate and a key contributor in making OsloBG a success. When I first talked with their Convention Manager – with my head full of ideas of a detailed program – she served me The Columbic Egg; “We give every participant The Oslo Pass, so they all can reach and enter the sights they want” – for free!
VisitOSLO is the leading organization in profiling and positioning the Oslo region as a tourist destination. They are dedicated to contributing towards the development of commerce and culture in the region. So when you are in or plan to go to Oslo; always check their website for all you want to know about the city: www.visitoslo.com
The Grand Opening was at Oslo City Hall with a reception from the Mayor of Oslo, Fabian Stang. Even his own birthday didn’t keep him from greeting these excited bloggers and providing us with an exceptional guided tour of the City Hall. Even in places I had never seen before!! All of OsloBG’s guests had a little gift from their homeland for the Mayor’s birthday and to thank him for receiving us on this special occasion. After the reception many of us went for dinner at Aker Brygge and had a chance to be better acquainted over good food and wine.
The first day as you may recall we had a guided tour around the highlights of Oslo. Oslo Guideservice provided excellent transportation and information on some of the most interesting sites in the area like Vigeland Sculpture Park and Holmenkollen ski jump.
The guides took us through Vigeland Sculpture Park and gave us an insight into Vigelands work and vision in designing every detail of this beautiful green area of Oslo. Although the weather didn’t cooperate as well at Holmenkollen ski jump, the best part was thankfully inside and many made it to the top for the ultimate view.
On the 20th the group was divided into activities of choice. My group had a guided tour of Oslo Opera House, a trip round the main street of Karl Johan, and watched the changing of the guard at the Royal Palace. Meanwhile Tor’s group had a day on Bygdøy island exploring the museums and beaches there. In the evening we had dinner at a small but charming restaurant on Bygdøy Island with a fantastic view of Oslo fjord.
The final day of our program again included the groups dividing up and exploring as far away as Drøbak! Ending the day with a champagne reception in the medieval park, and a roaring night on the town at The Dubliner!! That and plenty more photos – even a movie from the Mayor’s reception – is included in this cavalcade of a movie I made from these three days, enjoy:
I want to give a special thanks to all the participants. One thing we really felt after you all went home, when we looked back we felt so certain that Oslo Blog Gathering would have been different if even one of you didn’t come. One of the best things about OsloBG was the people and how everyone added a little something special to the group. In short it wouldn’t have been the same without you!
Click to see The participants and their adventures posts!
We hope one day to meet everyone again, and who knows maybe there will be another OsloBG in the future?
Sweden’s most beautiful waterway, the Göta Canal from Sjötorp by Lake Vänern to Stockholm, takes you through green forests, along sparkling lakes to picturesque homesteads in a breathtaking rural landscape. Anyone who longs to relish the silence of intact and untouched nature is definitely in the right place here and a bike trip is one great option to take it all in.
I often post about my love for outdoor recreational activities. So when my wife and I started our little bike trip from Sjötorp to Norrkvärn (10 km) the other day, I was thinking: this is a perfect example of what I mean when I talk about charging your batteries! As always we both have our Nokia mobile phones at hand to capture some of the highlights and of course I gladly share some with you – along with some educational facts of course – click photos to bigify & enjoy: Left: Biking is a popular activity – Right: Well maintained bike paths make this a real treat
The Göta Canal:
Celebrating its 175th anniversary in 2012, Göta Canal is Sweden´s construction accomplishment of the millennium. Built between 1810 and 1832 under the leadership of the famous engineer Baltzar von Platen – employing some 58,000 soldiers as laborers – it’s 190 km long, passing through no less than 58 water locks and reaching a total elevation of 92 meters above sea level. All along the canal you’ll find an abundance of sights and attractions, lush, scenic vistas and many charming towns and villages, all embedded in a unique canal atmosphere. Left: Canal town, Lyrestad – Right: Charming lock keeper cottages
Panorama view of the Swedish countryside Left: Still of the original hand cut stones – Right: The locks have room for some fairly large vessels
You can rent boats, canoes and kayaks in many places along the canal. The old labor road along the canal is one of Sweden´s most popular bicycle routes, and there are also many attractive hiking trails along the way.
Us with the rented bikes at Sjötorp
The rental bikes are sturdy and comfortable, with broad wheels that roll smoothly on gravel and grass alike. They are equipped with baskets and a luggage rack on the back so you can have as much or as little as you like with you on your trip. Canoes & Kayaks
Norrkvärn – a miniature version of the canal:
In the area surrounding the Norrkvärn lock, we see a miniature version of Lyrestad’s church tower within a model of the Göta Canal. The mini canal is a working model of Väster Götland part of the Göta Canal and a popular area for families with children:
Children learn through exploration at the mini canal
The models are made of solid building materials so the children (all ages LoL) can play in the water, sail boats down the canal and learn through experiencing it firsthand. The mini canal includes locks, a waterfall and buildings from the local area and invites to play and experimentation. Oh and by the way, this is all free – there is no admission to enter the Norrkvärn Park. They can follow the route or sail their boats through the locks.
MS Bellevue of Mariestad:
Many tourists negotiate the canal in their own vessels, but there are also tours with classic canal ships available, offering cozy scenic cruises with fine onboard accommodations and restaurants. Of course you can also choose shorter cruises between the many historically and culturally interesting sites along the shores. My wife DianeCA shot a film with her Nokia of one of them: Bellevue of Mariestad. Including some of the photos, I made a movie out of it – enjoy:
So if you want to see the idyllic heartland of Sweden from a unique perspective, a voyage on Göta Canal is highly recommended! You can easily understand how this part of Sweden has a special place in the heart of this Norwegian. Although we have been coming here for over 10 years there is always something to experience anew. If you need more info or booking, Mariestad Tourist Office gives excellent service!
Sailing with M/S Marianne from Mariestad, known as The Pearl of Lake Vänern, to Sjötorp (the beginning or end of Göta Canal), is on our top 10 must do list for summer vacation. We often save this adventure for when we have guests visiting us at our vacation home like last year with my FIL (click to read the story) and this week with my sister and parents. As always with my Nokia N8 mobile phone at hand, I tried my best to capture some highlights from the tour + stops and I gladly share it with you.
Let’s start with some passengers you might recognize on board, leaving the harbour of our vacation town, Mariestad:
M/S Marianne on Lake Vänern: Lake Vänern is Sweden’s largest inland body of water, and the fourth largest in Europe. There are more than one hundred tributaries, the main ones flowing into the northern part. Lake Vänern drains into the Kattegat Sea (the Atlantic) via the Gota River and the combined area of these two bodies cover 10% of the total area of Sweden. About 139 Km (80 miles) long and 70 Km (43 miles) wide, it is a significant cruising area in itself, with numerous guest harbours and natural harbours with wonderful sand beaches.
The charming M/S Marianne motor ship built in 1897 and it’s enthusiastic crew from the association taking care of this treasure set you in the right mood and take outdoors recreation into a new dimension: Left: The crew on the bridge – Right: A lighthouse by an Iceland Scenery from the boat: On shore and a bridge (Torsö)
Mariestad lives up to its nick name as “Pearl of Lake Vänern“. It’s the most evocative stopover among the lake towns, known both for its architecture and as a center for exploring the district. It’s famous for the many well-preserved old structures in Gamla Stan (or Old Town), including one building from the 17th century, all of which have survived despite several widespread town fires. The town founded in 1583 lies on the eastern shore of Lake Vänern, taking its name from Maria von Pfaltz, the first wife of Duke Karl (later Karl IX). He also build the dome church, an icon and landmark, easy to spot on our boat trip:
Sjötorp and Göta Canal:
About 10 miles north of Mariestad, at the Göta exit, we arrive at the village Sjötorp. This is the end (or beginning) of the Göta Canal, and the gateway to Lake Vänern:
There are small charming shops by the locks, and a canal museum featuring tools used to dig the canal in the 1800s, a large collection of outboard motors, but probably the most interesting is a collection of items retrieved from the canal (including an old model mobile phone).
Shops with ice cream, refreshments, smoked seafood and handcrafts.
The Göta Canal is one of the most remarkable waterways in the world and historically an important communication links between the inland industrial Sweden and the rest of the world. It’s 190 km long, dug out by hand between 1810 and 1832 by some 58 000 soldiers removing 300 000 cubic meters of rock and earth in order to create the three-meter deep and 14-metre wide canal. The construction foreman and certainly the one who promoted the project most strongly was Baltzar von Platen.
Today it is little used for trade but more and more by tourists who are using the canal. Since you can enter from both Stockholm and Göteborg (connection from the Atlantic ocean), they represent all kinds of nationalities: Left: Dutch. German, Danish and Swedish – Right: Even Russian
Boats in a lock
A trip like this on M/S Marianne gives our guests a view of our summer paradise in a nutshell. One experiences the city and the country, the lake and canal, not to mention the culture and the history of the Mariestad area. It has the additional bonus of being a recreational day with a 2 hour trip on the water and a chance to explore the local area. | <urn:uuid:0e9abbbd-b80a-4305-93ac-7b1946c7a2ab> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.terella.no/category/summer/ | 2019-05-24T11:26:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257605.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524104501-20190524130501-00036.warc.gz | en | 0.954641 | 3,567 | [

ERNEST VINCENT WRIGHT. INTRODUCTION. The entire manuscript of this story was written with the E type-bar of the typewriter tied down;. That might seem a rather pointless challenge but you can read just such a book – Gadsby by Ernest Vincent Wright, a self-published story from Fifty-year-old John Gadsby is alarmed by the decline of his hometown, Branton Hills, and rallies the city’s young people to form an “Organization of Youth” to.

Black, ugly, rumbling clouds hung aggravatingly about in a saturation of mist, rain and fog; and roads and lawns got such a washing that Gaddsby said: The book is big, b I like the concept of lipogram, where the letter e is avoided in a 50k words novel.
And say, if a car brung only six months, how long will I squat in jail for swiping this half bun? That big hop-skip-and-jump artist i s down in my trunk room! However, I find it hard to get along well with Capitalized letters in Sentences just to avoid Word “the”. As soon as this music class was through, Gadsby brought forth soloists, duos and trios; vio- linists, pianists, and so many young musicians that Branton Hills was as proud of its night school as a girl is of “that first diamond.
There is a great deal of information as to what Youth can do, if given a chance ; and, though it starts out in somewhat of an impersonal vein, there is plenty of thrill, rollicking comedy, love, courtship, marriage, patriotism, sudden tragedy’ a determined stand against liquor, and some amusing political aspirations gadsbj a small growing town.
And there are typos in the book, adding to the difficulty in reading. And how his Organization did applaud him for this, his first “solo work! gafsby
No its 8 times. Upon this basis I am going to show you how a bunch of bright young folks did find a champion ; a man with boys and girls of his own ; a man of so dominating and happy individuality that Youth is drawn to him as is a fly to a suga- bowl.
How thoroughly Gadsby did know its parsimony! Overall, I would call this book “alright. So any man or boy who had any knack at radio was all agog; and about a thousand had ambitions for a job in it, at which only about six can work.
TL;DR Great concept, too sweet to consume in one sitting. Inthree years before his death, he wrote Beyond the Spectrum.
Ernest Vincent Wright – Wikipedia
It’s sad that such a beautiful culture is all but lost forever. Branton Hills blooms to a modish city and a paragon of civic growth, with Gadsby as its mayor. Wikisource has original works written by or about: Nor about that first Holy kiss; nor that long, mighty roar of organ music, as our happy, blushing pair trod that long pathway, door- wards.
To Gadsby’s joy, amongst that bunch was Harold Thompson, an old Organization lad, who was known around town as a chap who could do about anything calling for brains.

Nancy had always had a strong liking f 0r Frank. All that an adult can claim is a continuation, or an amplification of thoughts, dormant in his youth. Boys off to war? The author is aware that his flow is a bit stilted due to the restriction, and he gets parenthetical about it a few times during the book. A story of 50, words without using a eernest E?! Great NovelThe novel is written as a lipogram and does not include words that contain the letter “e”. And this restriction on numbers, of course taboos all mention of dates.
Public domain Public domain false false. Animals probably do, but in a pri- mary way, such as an aid in knowing poisonous foods, and how to bring erndst an offspring with simi- lar ability. It is truly surprising what a narrow mind, what a blind outlook a man, brought up with prac- tically no opposition to his boyhood wants, can at- tain ; though brought into contact with indisputably important data for improving his city.
In Praise of the Music of Language. Smoking can calm a man down; and his thoughts had so long and so constantly clung to this plan of his that a cool outlook as to its promulga- tion was not only important, but paramount. Councilman Simpkins is a grump, grouchy and inhibitor. One leaves the second review there.
Bellos, DavidGeorges Perec: Incidentally, you should have some sort of a bromide preparation handy, for use when the going gaxsby rough, as it most assuredly will! This, Julius and Kathlyn thought, would turn out as popular, in a way, as living animals out at our Zoo.
Branton Hills had such a man, to whom such rigidity was as annoying as a thorn in his foot. That was why so many millions of inhabi- tants would start wars and riots against a tyrant; for many a King zvas a tyrant, Frank, and had no thought as to how his laws would suit his thousands of rich and poor.

Examining the lexicon available the English versus American spelling: Dec 12, Joseph Fountain rated it really liked it Shelves: Councilman Banks, though, was curious to know about Marian’s proposition, saying: He said he tied down the “e” key on his typewriter while completing the final manuscript. While Lipogram is excluding a letter, what is the opposite? And, as you thought of it I’ll call it, — now wait; — what shall I call it?
Will that cop put him in jail, Mayor Gadsby? It’s impressive the fact that he managed to write a lipogram, but this book doesn’t offer anything at all according to my belief.
But most important of all was word from an ugly, hard-look- ing woman, who, watching, with an apologizing sniff, a flock of happy birds, said: Ernewt schools stand high in compari- son with any out our way; your shops carry first- class goods, your laws act without favoritism for anybody or class ; and an air of happy-go-lucky con- ditions actually shouts at wrighht, from all parts of town.
But what a lot of tots find slaps, yanks and hard words for conditions gincent do not [ 75 ] G A D S B Y call for such harsh tactics! Though grabbing and humorous on occasion, this book is not worth going through for anything but linguistic admiration. Before his death inIndian spiritual master Sri Chinmoy wrote at least 1, books, 20, songs, andpoems.

To the editor:
The college admissions scandal has captured the nation. There is widespread and justifiable outrage towards a few moneyed families whose arrogance and sense of entitlement led to indictments for fraud, bribery and perhaps some sobering time behind bars — in addition to their public humiliation.
But perhaps the greater issue, underlying this made-for-TV scandal, is the college admissions process itself.
What were once straight forward merit-based evaluations have become processes shrouded in secrecy with subjectively weighted factors including gender, geography, race, athletics, legacy, sexual identity, trustee relationships, among endless others.
So long as college admissions systems retain a black box approach, they are ripe for abuse, exploitation and “unfairness.” What college admissions need most is greater transparency. That’s the first step toward cleaning up any organizational mess. | <urn:uuid:1df8f60f-46c7-44fc-8842-9bb12856026a> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.bainbridgereview.com/letters/more-transparency-needed-on-admissions-letter-to-the-editor/ | 2019-05-20T23:35:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256163.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520222102-20190521004102-00556.warc.gz | en | 0.958508 | 174 | [

Good article from news site: The Voice of Russia. A good English based website for up to date news about Russia…
Russia insists on offensive/defensive link in START: By Yevgeny Kryshkin
The State Duma (the lower house of the Russian parliament) plans to confirm the link between the reduction of the strategic offensive arms and the restriction of antimissile defense systems’ deployment in the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), signed between the US and Russia, Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the Duma Committee on International Affairs says.
“During the ratification of START in the US Congress the American lawmakers noted that the link between strategic offensive armed forces and antimissile defense systems is not juridically binding for the parties. They referred to the fact that this link was fixed only in the preamble of the document. Such an approach can be regarded as the US’ attempt to find an option to build up its strategic potential and the Russian lawmakers cannot agree with this,” Kosachev says.
We will deal with these interpretations. The first thing is that our American colleagues do not recognize the legal force of the treaty’s preamble. The preamble sets a link between strategic offensive arms and defensive arms. The second thing is an attempt to interpret certain provisions of the treaty unilaterally.
The Russian lawmakers insist that all the chapters of the treaty including the preamble are legally binding, which is a common norm of international law. It is not lawful to take certain provisions and to give them unilateral interpretations like the American senators do, Alexei Arbatov, a member of the Carnegie Scientific Council, says.
This is our reaction on the US steps, which are not justified because you cannot selectively validate or invalidate certain provisions of the treaty. We are quite consistent here. We said that the entire treaty, the preamble and the articles have the same judicial force. This is logical and this is right.
The Russian lawmakers expect that the work on the respective resolution will be completed in a few days. The State Duma will approve the draft of START’s ratification together with all related statements and reservations by February.

DIRTY! DIRTY! DIRTY! A High Speed Book Tour (part VII)
Dave Insurgent of Reagan Youth, circa 1984
Editor’s Note: Mike Edison has been out on the road promoting his new book, Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! — Of Playboys, Pigs, and Penthouse Paupers, an American Tale of Sex and Wonder, on what has been a book tour like no other, perpetrating a mix of literary mayhem and music in bookstores, pizza parlors, dive bars, and art museums, and will be sharing his tour diary and road tales here in this exclusive blog. For more info on DDD and all things Edison, please visit www.mikeedison.com. Click here for the full tour diary.
Nov 16, SAN FRANCISCO
KING OF THE HIPPIES
In 1984, a San Francisco police officer told me I should leave town and never come back. Seriously. Leave town, and never come back. I guess he didn’t like me very much.
Which was fine, believe me, the feeling was mutual. It was like this: I was in town with the Rock Against Reagan/Rock Against Racism Tour, driving and being the general facilitator for New York matinee thrash idols Reagan Youth. Singer Dave Insurgent (nee Rubenstein) was one of my best pals and he insisted I come on the tour and open their shows with the world’s most obnoxious comedy act, a Borscht-Belt Comedian as Satan-in-a-madras-jacket character that would tell one-liners about invading Nicarauga, a real sore point for lefties back then. Invaribly I would catch a hail of bottles and death threats before Dave and the band came on to deliver their message of peace and anarchy: Liberate yourelf, don’t be a reactionary, think for yourself, and get a fucking sense of humor.
Anyway, one day I was double-parked outside of a house on Haight Street waiting for a friend to come out (it wasn’t even a drug deal, really, just innocent) when an unmarked car came up behind me and honked. I waved him around. He pulled up and said, “Hey, you have to move.” (It turned out to be an unmarked car but a fully dressed member of the SFPD, shiny brass buttons and everything.) He was about to wave me off, but when he took a look in my car, and saw my passenger, a black man dressed like a low-budget Jimi Hendrix, he (the cop) said, “On second thought, turn off your engine and let me see your license.” Really, it was just like that.
Rick, the dude I was with, was Reagan Youth’s drummer and having seen him in action I can testify that he was a threat to America’s young women — they were throwing themselves at him that summer. Me, not so much, but at least I didn’t get threatened to have the snot beaten out of me when we stopped at truck stops in Oklahoma. As I like to say, what you lose on the swings you make up for on the merry go round, but personally, at age 20, I might have gone for a beating and the girls.
It was a tough summer. The Democratic National Convention was in town, which is why we were there, we were going to play for free outside of the convention center, opening for the Dead Kennedys, before moving on to Dallas for the GOP National Con and more of same. Also the Olympics were in LA that summer, so everyone was pretty well tweaked.
The cop wrote me a ticket for “reckless driving” and told me to leave town, just as reported above. I kind of laughed at the time, like, Did he really just tell me to leave town and not come back? Am I now starring in Shane? And was I Alan Ladd or Jack Palance? It was all so confusing, I mean, it was a fucked up thing to say — just so freaking silly.
As it turned out I didn’t come back for almost twenty years. No reason, business just never brought me back to SF, but then I went to do a magazine story, and later to tour my first book I HAVE FUN EVERYWHERE I GO (which, not incidentally, is dedicated to the memory of Dave Insurgent, whose story I am proud to have told), and after that I was back, and back again, and I always figured I would see that cop cruising the Haight and he’d yell at me, “Hey, punk! I thought I told you never to come back!” I never paid the ticket and so he’d try to throw me in jail, but I would just kick him in the shins and run, laughing SO LONG, FLATFOOT!!!… anyway, never happened. Maybe he’s forgotten by now. Or was put out to pasture, or euthanized, or whatever they do with idiot cops when they are past their prime.
1. On second thought, let me see your license… 2. Nothing like Bay Area sardines.
But again, I digress, since we are here to talk about the DIRTY! DIRTY! DIRTY! Tour and I could not possibly be happier than to be in SF, except for the part where Mickey Finn, the World’s Greatest Piano Player, is back in NY pining for The Car. To get over the vacuum where there was once the World’s Greatest Piano Player, I take myself out to dinner, to Cotogna no less, where my buddy Dave Lynch is the wine director and something of a superstar in the SF food and wine world, and let me tell you, there are few things as good as local Bay Area sardines with a nice, crisp, dry Riesling, and not only do they taste delicious but they are very good for your brain. A plate of pasta and some red later, I am fortified and make the pilgrimage to City Lights and Vesuvio’s bar to get my beatnik on, before returning to Union Square where my hotel is and wind up catching last call at some ancient SF relic where the band — who has apparently been there since 1966 and has not stopped playing — turns in their one millionth set of Grateful Dead inspired R&B and country tunes (Turn on Your Love Light, Me and Bobby McGee) and while in no way are they good, and in New York I wouldnt give them the time of day, right now I am drunk enough and happy enough to be in SF on the second leg of the tour that I am digging it, and like crazy, man.
While WGPP is in New York trying to explain his relationship with The Car to his GF, I have obtained the services of a crack band of beatniks to lay down the outerspace blues and dirty bop while I do my ranting. The fraternity of musicians is strong, and I am lucky to have these cats: Richard Berman on the stand-up Bass, Dave Fitzgerald on traps, and Professor Alex Cory on the Fender Rhodes. Rehearsal is on the sidewalk outside of the Amnesia bar where we are playing, and it goes something like this:
ME: First song is kind of a walking blues, what I call the beatnik bop.
RICHARD: What Key? Maybe E flat.
ME: Works for me. Second song is kind of a triplet 12/8 kinda thing, kinda scary, maybe in A minor.
RICHARD: I can bow my bass, play some tritones to make it scarier…
ME: Works for me. Third number same as the first, but slower, and kind of keep it spacy while I am talking about astronauts, and then pick it up when I switch to the rap about porn technology and blue eye shadow.
RICHARD: Works for me.
And so on. It’s a five song set — five long songs — and they already have them in their DNA. So nice to have professional beatniks, and goddamn if San Francisco ain’t the place to find them. Only downside of the gig is that there is an open mic before we do our thing, and one of the “comics” is telling jokes about how rude New Yorkers are, and it is apparent that (A) either he has never been there and is getting this from re-runs of All in the Family, or (B) he was in New York and was outed instantly as a complete dick and got the usual Gotham City Brush Off. For a moment I feel like dropping him with a Brooklyn haymaker, but let it go and decide to revel in my new role as KING OF THE HIPPIES.
4. City Lights, Beatnik Paradise, even for the boy from Greenwich Village. 5 & 6. Getting DIRTY at Amneisa with the newly formed Space Liberation Micro Arkestra.
The gig goes off flawlessly, loose, filthy, and fun, and declared a success. We sell a box of books and barter a few for a bag of grass, which delights my publisher, the legendary Charlie Winton, not just a little. He’s going to be driving me to Los Angeles so his happiness is very important. Go ahead.. You try to find a publisher willing to drive an author up and down the West Coast on a boondoggle book tour… see? This Soft Skull Press is a very special organization indeed, a real cosa nostra. Next morning we head south and put it to the test.
Over and out.

He is the author of 28 pornographic novels and the cult classic memoir I Have Fun Everywhere I Go (Farrar, Straus & Giroux). He speaks frequently on free speech, sex, drugs, and the American counterculture, and is “proof positive that one can be both edgy and erudite, lowbrow and literate, and take joy in the unbridled pleasures of the id without sacrificing the higher mind.”

The Ocean Ranger: Remaking the Promise of Oil, by Susan Dodd. Fernwood Publishers, Halifax and Winnipeg, 2012, trade paperback, 192 pages, $24.95.
On February 15, 1982 the world’s largest offshore oil rig, the Ocean Ranger, capsized and sank in a monster storm off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. All 84 men on board perished, including Jim Dodd, the brother of author Susan Dodd, whose 2012 account of the disaster is new again before it had a chance to get old.
The Ocean Ranger: Remaking the Promise of Oil is an analysis of individual and collective trauma and the processes invoked to restore public confidence in the wake of terrible tragedy. It is a work of extraordinary scholarship, providing a template for understanding industrial disasters, especially those that result from regulatory failure. Dodd elucidates the collective traumas these events produce, and the ensuing social and political revisionism that obscures their root cause in a too-cozy relationship between governments and big oil companies. My own report for the CCPA—The Lac-Mégantic Disaster: Where Does the Buck Stop?— would not have been possible without the insights I gained from The Ocean Ranger.
Telling the wrong stories
The Ocean Ranger disaster produced a potential legitimation crisis — a breach of the public’s trust in the government’s ability to protect them that had to be managed. Dodd’s book demonstrates how this was done through multiple interrelated social and political revisionary processes.
Through her meticulous research, Dodd identifies and tracks seven processes of revision in the aftermath of the 1982 spill: quasi-judicial inquiries and reports, “bought” news coverage, electoral politics, lawsuits and settlements, parliamentary debate and legislation, commemorations, and art and literary works. Dodd describes these overlapping revisionary processes as a metaphorical rope, “erratically bound, frayed at points, tightly twisted at others, and always with loops where some strands come loose, but then are wound back in.”
She explains further: “The inquiry produces a report, people talk and tell stories, songwriters sing songs and the novelists and oral historians combine strands from the inquiry report, folklore and songs when they write their books. Each strand of remembering spins its own kind of revision of the event, producing an account that makes sense because we recognize it as a kind of storytelling.”
In the aftermath of an industrial disaster, these strands all contribute to changing the focus, or even replacing the central issue—the conflict between the interests of communities and those of distant shareholders—with a dominant version of the story and even a common style of telling. Versions of events that challenge the dominant style and content, as in Mike Heffernan’s oral history, Rig, and Lisa Moore’s novel, February, are obscured.
In the aftermath of the disaster, these interrelated sociopolitical processes can help us heal but they also encourage us to forget, especially when the root cause of the disaster is the failure of governments to protect the public from corporate predation.
Disaster as a “learning story”
The Royal Commission on the Ocean Ranger Marine Disaster authoritatively painted events so they depicted only one episode in the larger narrative of human progress of the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. This was a “learning story” for all involved, with the province, Canada and the oil industry as agents poised for a promising future.
Public relations campaigns from the companies involved stressed the radically unlikely chain of events that caused the accident, muddied the “scientific” waters, scapegoated workers and emphasized the need to allow the oil sector to self-regulate. Family members were alienated first by the negligence of these companies and governments, then again by the failure of the system to name and punish the wrongdoers, and finally by the process of settling lawsuits — the so-called blood price.
Accepting settlement money helped to partially overcome this alienation. But families still had to live with the guilt of not being able to exact any punishment on the perpetrators, or even to force the responsible companies to admit their guilt. Moreover, the settlements diverted resources from the families’ advocacy efforts and reduced their credibility as public critics of government and corporations.
The Ocean Ranger story was revised again decades later by commemorations and literary works. Many of these described the event as emblematic of a bygone era, replaced by a new Newfoundland and Labrador that has triumphed over its colonial past by standing up to Ottawa and the oil companies, to seize control of its destiny and realize the promise of oil. Dodd persists in asking uncomfortable questions about the disaster that these processes of retelling have suppressed.
For example, Dodd asks how companies came to operate without any effective government regulation. Why was the only punishment companies faced through modest settlements to avoid lawsuits? How did the social and political processes in the aftermath secure public confidence in the promise of oil? What role, if any, did the oil workers’ sacrifice play in subsequent efforts to secure benefits from the oil companies? What is the relationship between this disaster and others, especially those caused by regulatory failure?
Dodd’s goal in all of this is “to challenge the forgetfulness offered by redemptive narratives where wrongs perpetrated by profit seekers are recast as noble sacrifices.” She aims to debunk the myth of corporate self-regulation—the notion that corporations are naturally “good citizens” who will act in the public interest if left alone— that is exposed by every disaster, and resurrected in the retelling of the story.
The socio-political processes that manage crises of corporate and government legitimacy, “work together to meet some demands of justice, to shed light on some truths, and also to impose a false closure that limits public reflection on gross regulatory failures,” she writes. But to truly heal “is to be able to distinguish legitimate demands for accountability from existential feelings of loss and alienation.” Dodd cautions that this true healing “is fragile, especially when our personal trauma originates in a betrayal of public trust that is repeated and exacerbated by a failure of justice to hold anyone accountable.”
History repeating on land and sea
Dodd sees the revisionary processes she tracked in the Ocean Ranger disaster playing out again in the Deep Water Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which happened four years ago this April.
“The oil companies took freedom from regulation as an opportunity to cut costs and corners,” she writes. “In both instances (Horizon and Ocean Ranger), the trauma struck individual people and families, but it also struck the heart of ‘a people,’ a culturally distinct community characterized by a tradition of life on the sea… In both cases, the story would be transformed, with a major, even hegemonic, strand of the story presenting the disaster as a learning opportunity for technological engineering.”
And although it is still early days, the same processes are at work in the aftermath of the Lac-Mégantic oil train disaster. In this instance, however, the task of restoring public confidence is much more complex.
Compared to Newfoundland and Labrador’s “promise of oil,” remaking the Harper government’s “energy superpower” narrative after Lac- Mégantic, and in light of other oil transportation threats, will be a hard sell indeed. I suspect Dodd’s metaphorical rope of revisions and retellings will be rather more frayed and fraught in this case, with more loose ends that are difficult to wind back together.
The Ocean Ranger is a gift to all those who seek understanding and justice in the wake of industrial disasters—past, present and future—where corporate negligence and regulatory failure betray the public’s trust.

Many people are terrified of the dental office, and if you could be considered as one of these people, we are here to help you! To have the best dental experience possible, we suggest doing the following things:
• Have someone you love and trust come with you to your dental appointment. That way, you will have someone you are comfortable with sitting next to you during your treatment.
• Try staying calm by doing relaxation techniques. If you control your breathing, your heart rate will slow down and you will feel more relaxed. You can control your breathing by taking a deep breath, holding it for a couple seconds, and slowly letting it out.
• Bring some music to your appointment. Better yet, bring some new music. That way you will focus more on the music rather than the dentist and the treatment. You can also watch television or you can have your friend or family member tell you stories.
• Establish a key word or signal with your dentist. If you come up with a code word or signal for “stop,” like raising your hand or making a unique noise, your dentist will know when to stop the treatment and when to give you a break.
• Talk to your dentist about sedation dentistry. Oral sedation, nitrous oxide, or IV sedation might be the perfect thing you need to experience a relaxed or comfortable dental appointment. However, only qualified dentists provide IV sedation.
To learn more about the ways you can love your dental appointments, call our office today and talk to a member of our team.
